Strange thing happened to my phone yesterday night. I was watching netflix for a while and after some time the screen just went blank. I am not able to restart the phone. It got struck in the kernel bootup(Darkside kernel, TDJ's darkside rom) and it was restarting again and again till i remove the battery.
I am able to get into recovery mode but not able to restore any of my backup's. It just went blank during restoring system. I tried installing the same ROM(Darkside Digitsl warfare v2.5.1) from my internal SD card but it just went blank after some time. I tried the juggernaut-5 . It didnt throw up any error but when i restart it its again displaying the darkside kernel and boot looping.
Any one can you please help me to get out of this mess. I need to travel on Monday so desperately need my phone fixed before that. Please help. I have not installed anything new over the last 1 month and didnt have any problems till now. Thank you
System Details:
ROM: Darkside Digitsl warfare v2.5.1
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7
Flash super wipe kernel cleaner then reflash the ROM then go back if you made a nandroid backup restore the data and system

Try it again. The phone has to be in download mode before you plug it into the computer. And are you flashing it as PDA? People have reported it taking a couple tries.
Usually if you can get into download mode you can fix it. If you're stuck and your computer won't recognize your phone, try getting back into download mode. If you're sending it in for repair anyways, it's better to have a full brick so they can't see that you rooted.
Another option if you can't get into download mode, buy a USB Jig, they are usually less than $10 and they can sometimes get you back into download mode.

What screen are you talking about? The download screen?
If you're seriously wanting to give up trying, and want to brick it, try flashing a stock rom from a different phone via Odin.

So Am i good for an warranty exchange? or will samsung would be able to know i installed custom roms. In the ODIN mode it still shows custom binary mode as NO.
The strange thing is i didnt do anything on my phone for last 1 month. The only thing i could think off is, one of scheduled titanium backup ran at 3.00 AM when i was in netflix with the phone charging,and i got a msg that the backup failed. When i woke up it started boot looping. And during the ODIN i tried today, I was making sure i am doing right by following the guidelines(ODIN back to stock).
I have all my nandroid backups(different rom versions) & titanium backups, will i be able to use it in my new phone after rooting with the same recovery version?
Thank you. I really appreciat all your help.

Are you running Odin as administrator?
Manually download the device drivers from the how to root thread and install them on your computer. right click on Odin and run as administrator. Open the stock rom file in the PDA field and run it.. There is no reason it shouldn't work if you can get into download mode.
Try downloading the stock rom again, maybe it's a bad download.

I've bought global Galaxy Note 2 N7100 from Hong Kong with Kogan (online store)
Unlocked the device by using this method "How-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method" on google
[Odin v1.85 unknown CWM6 version]
After that, turning off the phone and holding down the Vol Up + Home Key + Power brings up the Galaxy Note N7100 screen, buzzes out and turns itself off.
I rewrote a new CWM recovery mode onto the device and tried it again, same problem.
[Odin v3.04 / ODIN-KashaMalagaTOUCHCWMRecovery-V6.0.2.7]
The next step I was going to take was to wipe the phone and install the stock Kernal, then using ODIN to unlock it again and trying to enter recovery mode again.
If this is the right step, I will do so.
If you could help me, it will be appreciated.
Android version : 4.1.1
Kernal version :
3.0.31-310959

Try TWRP instead of CWM. You can find it here:

You could try rebooting into recovery using ADB from your pc or a terminal emulator on the phone by typing: su reboot recovery

After installing the app Goo.im I installed the TWRP recovery with it and rebooted the device into recovery.
It showed the same buzzing screen and turned itself off.
There is no noticeable file courruption within the phone and everything is just as same when I start the phone normally again.
Could this be a faulty device? If so, can I actually get a refund / return for it?
I also cannot receive my 3G data from my sim when my Galaxy S2 was able to recieve it.
Does unlocking and changing roms affect the availablility of 3G data?

The 1st thing that I do is root with the "how to Root Note 2 [EASIEST METHOD]"at Youtube. like the topic and than after when the rooting process it will restart into recovery mode part at that part when I saw the note 2 word when restart the word were distorted and the note 2 word run everywhere and than become black screen for about 2-3 minit and than the phone restart on back like normal and my phone were rooted and got super user on it and I tested with titanium backup and can be used. After that I try to install cwm recovery and flash the CWM recovery like the app told me to, after that i try to backup my stock rom and than after restart to recovery mode the note 2 word show like when the rooting process the word distorted. After that i try goo manager to flash twrp and try go recovery mode and still same. I did not try to flash back the stock rom. can you guide me what should I do next about the cf root and flash twrp with Odin, i dint try it because Im noob at rooting note 2.
btw thx for reply i hope you can guide me what should i do next.

You can go to twrp site and download twrp for note 2 in tar format so you can flash it with odin just the same way as you flashed cf-root.
Do not use goo manager. For some reason it says that it flashed twrp but it does not flash it.
So in a few words.
DL twrp 2.3.3.2 in tar format.
Open odin and select pda and then select twrp.
Switch off your phone and boot in download mode by pressing volume down+home button+ power botton. When you see samsung logo realease power button. Keep the other two.
Press vol up to confirm
Connect your phone to pc and wait till it recognizes it.
Press start. Wait till finish.
It should be working after this.

I don't know understand what you just said but my phone wouldn't boot properly into cyanogenmod, the screen would flicker around and go all weird then go blank. I then restored to me backup and later made a new backup and tried flashing Cyanogenmod again but the same thing happened. So again I restored to my back up but this time my backup didn't work and is doing the same thing as it did with cyanogen mod - screen flickers and flashes and goes all weird then goes blank

I tried to downgrade after the update and failed. My phone was totally bricked, I tried flashing TWRP, Philz touch, and CWN and could not get into recovery or anything. I came home and opened sboot.bin with a hex editor and found that SEAndroid in 4.3 is what allows everything to boot and it is write protected, so what i did was copied the sboot.bin into a MC2 Flashable tar and flashed it with Odin, and it worked. I then flashed the update, flashed Phils touch recovery and rooted my fone, now I am on a completely rooted 4.3
Here is a link to the file I used to Unbrick/Downgrade: http://myfavoritecontractors.com/4.3_Unbrick.tar
Several other people have verified they were having the same problem and flashed this and it worked, they also told me to start this thread so others could fix their fone
im on 4.3 stock i tried rooting with auto root using Odin but it didnt want to root the phone, it worked on 4.1.2 stock but not on this 4.3.. which sucks because i want to go on a custom ROM right now like paranoid android but cant cause i dont know how to root my phone since its 4.3 stock :crying: lol smh
Download twrp tar file and flash it in Odin then flash a stock ROM. That's what I did .

You are a god, worked flawlessly! I am going to wait for 4.3 via OTA this time instead of flashing the update though (didn't like the Easy Mode big icons etc)
Thank you for this, this is the only rom I can use to get away from the dreaded Kies error screen. However, I'm now stuck on the Samsung glowing boot screen. Any suggestions on how to fix?
Thank you
I have a MK4 tar that is flash able in Odin for those still looking to unbrick (and those who tried getting to my suspended Dropbox. ..) http://www.mediafire.com/download/7viivd985s7cp8l/L900VPUBMK4_L900SPTBMK4_HOME.tar.zip
After flashing a ROM or using Odin to flash firmware I highly suggest a data/cache wipe in recovery. 99.9% of the time it'll fix a bootloop (unless you've gone and corrupted partitions you had no business touching).

You should be able to flash a custom recovery, flash twrp, then go into twrp recovery and flash (mc2 back to stock unrooted with counter reset) you should be able to find that pretty easy and download it
Other than that, if you get the failed update screen, you can use kies

This did work where other files have failed - thank you! With that said, I cannot connect to cellular service nor will the gps lock. I wiped/factory reset a couple times to no avail...any suggestions?
I tried to follow this guide:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-xda-developer-tv/
And it didn't work.
When I hit Start on Odin it told me failed and the phone first went into Firmware Update mode.
I tried using KIES to get out of it but KIES freezes up on my computer when i type in SGH-T999 on the recovery portion. It doesn't even let me get to the S/N part.
I tried to flash cwm recovery and it worked and I can get in there, but it won't mount the SD card so I can't flash anything else.
I then tried to flash TWRP and that worked as well. I was able to get in there and tried to flash ANYTHING to just be able to get back into the phone, and it doesn't work (tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426720 )
I am currently unsure as to how to proceed from here. I can find ways to get stuff onto my sd card but it just doesn't want to run on the phone.
I am currently NOT rooted. I did try to use the option to get rooted through TWRP and it seems to fail every time.
I can access the download mode + recovery mode. Here is what I see on download mode:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T999
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: yes (5 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

The first time I did it it said FAIL and that's when this issue came up. Phone started saying firmware update error.
I was able to get back into the downloader and tried it again and now it just hangs on Odin and doesn't go past sbl2.mn (might be wrong).
I didn't receive error messages anymore. I ran Odin with that ROM selected and let it run for over an hour (video says takes about 10 minutes).
Try using different USB ports or computer

Uninstall kies. It interferes with odin. Bit also, odin has a message box in the lower left. What did it say there when it failed?
Also be sure you are getting the right firmware. There are several different models supported in that thread.

Uninstalling Kies worked! Thank you!
Hello all,
previous searches have yielded limited answers so I apologize if this has been answered already.
I've been running CM for the past 5 or 6 months and have had zero problems with it. Last week however something happened and I got stuck in a boot loop. Me being a genius obviously didn't make a backup of anything so I flashed the stock rom via odin back onto the phone. After flash through odin I get the green light and pass indication. I go to restart the phone in recovery and I get the sick droid with the red yield sign above him. I then go to wipe/factory reset then reboot and it goes as far as the Samsung logo doing its animation and then stops just after and freezes. A regular power up without going into recovery first results in a boot loop.
I tried the recovery process through Kies and get the "This devices version cannot be updated" error. I am running the current version of Kies. I'm assuming its because it knows I've been rooted?
Note 2 Sprint
thank you in advance.

I dont think kies has NE2 yet so you can only use odin. Boot into recovery (stock is fine) and do a factory reset. Then power off (do not reboot) and go into download mode and flash ne2 tar again through odin. Then hopefully you will be able to boot. Note that 4.4.2 is a large rom and will take around 5 mins to actually boot up.

Thank you for the response,
When I go to wipe/reset I get the dead android with the red triangle. I am assuming there is a fault in my stock recovery. I still went ahead and wiped/reset data and removed battery after, waited a few minutes, inserted battery, booted into download mode, flashed stock ne2, everything with odin passed. I booted phone up and it immediately went into a boot loop with the samsung logo for about 5 minutes then shut off completely. the battery has a full charge.
I'm open for other options if some are available.Would it be possible to skip the stock recovery and go straight into a custom recovery? I'm planning on rooting and installing CM again but obviously making a backup this time.

Like he said use odin to flash philz 6.07.9 but uncheck reboot option. Once everything is done disconnect and pull battery (this is safe as long as everything finished flashing). Then do recovery key sequence while inserting battery. Then flash your rom. If still having issues with booting I have a special file that you can odin that should fix it.

I downloaded the 6.07.09 philz zip file, however I'm having trouble finding the tar.md5 file to flash through odin.
Also, once philz touch recovery is installed can I immediately flash a recent version of CM11 nightly straight from my external SD card?
Thank you,
Rhett

Here is a direct link to 6.07.9 tar.md5 https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/l900/philz_touch_6.07.9-l900.tar.md5/
Once you flash it boot into recovery and flash cm11. If cm11 wont boot I have another file for you to use but it is only needed if cm11 does not boot.

I really appreciate the help,
I successfully flashed Philz recovery through odin. Booted to recovery and went to wipe/reset for a new rom, then installed zip - CM11 (yesterday's version) flashed successfully, selected reboot, samsung logo flashed and then phone shut off.
Am I rooted automatically if I have Philz recovery? They only thing I can think of is I don't have an OS at all on my device or I am not rooted?
Thank you in advance

Yeah kind of thought that might happen. Flash the attachment from this (fix.tar) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53035491&postcount=287 through odin and it should fix your issue. Also you are not rooted automatically because of Philz. Root is controlled by the rom but almost every custom rom (omni excluded) comes rooted so hope that helps that question.

I'm assuming the fix.tar changes the recovery to CWM? I flashed the fix zip successfully, rebooted, CM logo came on for a couple minutes, I did a happy dance, then the phone shut off again. Pulled battery, turned back on and its stuck in a boot loop now with samsung logo.

Do a factory reset (normal not clean for new rom) and see what happens.

When I flashed the fix.tar. it changed the recovery to CWM which only gives me the option to wipe data/factory reset, whereas with the philz I had the option to wipe for just a new rom. or a complete reset
Good then you can mix them up. Do the factory reset. Also you sure it is cwm or is it the stock recovery? I have not used that file since 4.4.2 came out but thought it was all stock.

Yes, after the fix.tar flash the recovery changed to CWM. However, I'm still having no luck. I tried system wipe/restore then reboot but the phone boots to samsung logo then shuts off. Ill go over the steps I've taken again.
1. Flashed stock recovery through odin - got red triangle above dead android. I'm assuming problem with stock recovery
2. Flashed Philz recovery through odin - did factory reset, flashed current version of CM11, boot, samsung logo comes on then phone shuts off.
3. Flashed fix.tar. through odin.- boot, CM logo comes on like its booting for a minute, then phone shuts off, pull battery, restart phone then goes into a boot loop. wipe data does the same thing. After a couple times of that I'm now at a point where when I reboot from recovery it goes straight to samsung logo then shuts off. Holding the power button (like a regular startup) does nothing. The phone is only responsive to recovery mode and download mode. Not to mention the phone has to be plugged in to either the computer or the wall for any of this to work. Even though the battery indicator says the charge is at 100%.

So you can not run on battery power at all? Sounding like a hardware issue. If you know someone else with a note 2 I would try swapping batteries. After that I am not sure what to try.

I have a friend that also has a note 2, I'll try his battery this weekend and let you know what happens. Thanks again for all the help.

A different battery didn't help. I reflashed the stock rom, where I get the original problem of the red exclamation point laying down android screen. Is there a way to rid the download screen of the system status as being displayed as "custom" and the knox warranty void: as 1 with the condition the phone is in? I believe if I can reset the counter and prove it is a hardware problem they will cover it under warranty. If not I believe my only option is to destroy/crush the phone beyond repair and claim the insurance which is $200 to replace the phone.
Can you post the link where you got the stock rom?
