Place a ROM and GAPPS on your SD card via computer. Boot into recovery and flash.

also, you could download a stock rom, flash via odin in download mode.. I prefer the other option tough

[Q] [Question] Soft-Brick Problems

[Longish story]
So, I rooted yesterday, all was good. Used the CF-auto root. After that I got titanium backup and clockwork mod. After that I download the app ROM Toolbox, scrolled over to fonts, clicked a font, pushed continue, device rebooted and it wouldn't fully turn on. It would load up all the way to the Samsung logo and flash blue with that long and have the blue led on. Got scared since it was my first time rooting and stuff and went on forums. Got to clockworkmod and had no progression. Someone told me that I need to download a rom onto my external sd card and plug it back in my device then click that. File didn't work and it said my sdcard can't mount. So I read that I can flash the stock rom from Odin onto my device through the download mode on android. I tried and still am as we speak but it just stays on "system.img". I don't know what to do, and is scared that I can no longer use my device. Is there anything I can do or am I ruined?
Thank you all!
You must do a factory reset in your stock recovery after you flash your stock fw threw odin :beer:

Well, I'm trying to flash a stock rom on my phone via Odin but like I said, it just stays on the "system.img" any ideas?
Download odin and flash stock att rom start over. Your phone would probably have booted rom toolbox reboots can take a long time.
I had issues with rom tool box too. Ill never use it again

But is it normal if it stays on system.img with a sign of progressing? I mean I have been patient for this to happen but it was going on for more than a hour without moving! Should I do it again and just wait all night? Also, now when I boot up my device, it tells me to do something with Kies, like a recovery. But my device won't even get recognized by my computer so the Kies thing Won't work. Also, I don't believe I can access CWM anymore. Does this matter?

You need to post more info if possible but it sounds like you are trying to downgrade from MA7 to an earlier firmware like LK8. The update included a security patch so it won't let you go back to insecure. Try pulling the sboot out of whatever you are trying to flash or stick with MA7

It's not brick cuz odin can still see your phone. If you dont have TWRP on it, go to www.twrp.com and download the tar file for sprint note 2. Then use Odin to flash it. Once you are done that, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 to get either the old LJC or MA7 and put it in your phone either internal or external SD. Do the wipe cache/factory reset first. Then flash it. It will go back to stock rom.
Help
Hello even though its old I figured I would post here first instead of starting a new thread, my friend has a Note 2 for Sprint never rooted or custom ROM flashed and he said it was sitting on the charger and when he woke up in the morning it was off and after attempting to power the device on it stays stuck on the Samsung logo. I cant get Kies to recognize the device at all not matter what pc is use however it shows up in Odin but it fails everything from stock files ( older and current ) , different versions of Odin, recoveries and I even tried a " unbrick .tar file " . Any help at all would be appreciated I will include pics

Can you odin a custom recovery and boot into it?
1. Put phone in download mode
2. In odin program uncheck reboot and flash recovery
3. After flash disconnect phone and pull battery
4. Quickly insert and remove battery multiple times (if you just reinsert battery it will automatically boot)
5. Boot phone into recovery backup any important data that is on your internal sdcard
6. Do factory reset then flash billards stock mc2 with counter reset (do not wipe cache after flashing this)
7. Flash superuser zip found in billards Op
8. Reboot phone and freakout when see the screen do odd things and reboot (this is normal)
Now it will bootup on stock rooted mc2.

if it keeps rebooting then better get back to stock rom first. Flash an odin package of your device and then try rooting again.
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...SPH-D710VMUB)/Stock ROMs/JB/GB28/Full Restore
This is the link to rwilco's android repository- the Virgin Mobile stock jb rooted and unrooted.
And here's a link to the tutorials http://www.rwilco12.com/Files/Devic...-D710VMUB)/Tutorials/SPHD710VMUB-OneClick.php
First make sure you have the proper phone, sph-d710 .
Check out Qbking77 on YouTube, he has videos on one click updates and root.
If so take out your battery.
Download virgin rom with restore in description with .exe at end to your desktop on pc.
While holding power button and volume down insert battery back into phone.
If the Mayan God's are smiling at you, your phone will go into "download mode" , if this happens replace back cover, on pc click exe file and allow to extract, look for odin oc or odin one click, click to open, after it opens connect your phone to pc, if odin recognizes your phone click start and wait for it to finish, it should reboot by itself when done.
You must download the "restore" version of the rom with root.
This should get you back running again.
If it works, start reading before you flash anything else.

Something weird

Hi guys i had the Note 5120 running 4.1.2 and all the while rooted with Framaroot 1.60 and had install multi window manager. I did not install custom recovery so i did not have any backups made as im just a simple user and will make use of the root for some enhancements. Today i installed font installer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer. After i chose my desire font, it request for a reboot and i did.
That is where the problem arised. My device is now stuck at the welcome screen with the word Samsung glowing and thats about it. I had done a hard reset but still the same. And i didnt manage to get any further info of my built and anything else *sigh*.
Anyone here be able to help me on this as that is all the rooting i have done on this phone. Never tried Odin or anything else. Hopefully some can help revive my 8 days old Note

Just as i found out about it. I am currently downloading the stock rom from sammobile. Just to be sure that i can place the stock rom in my ext sd card and use stock recovery to flash it after i rename it as update.zip?
you can just do a factory reset in stock recovery and your tablet will go back to factory fresh status..dont bother downloading or flashing anything, just factory reset and you are back to square one
In most cases, you need to extract the tar.md5 file from zip and flash using odin.

Need serious help unrooting/fixing my Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-1747

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T and for about a year and a half always wanted to root it but had no idea how. I had an iPhone a while back and used to jailbreak it I became an expert at it. Rooting is not so easy compared at least with the problems I've been experiencing
I started by watching hundreds of root videos and ended up rooting it with Odin and Kit Kat tar file im not sure of the specific file but I'm almost 100% it was my version 4.4.2 that I flashed.
After I did this I downloaded the basics and tried to get TWRP but gooManager wasnt working for some reason.
I tried to flash the Cyanongen 11 onto my phone using the installer for the comp and on google play store and it worked up until the end I got the dead droid symbol for a bit and it finished downloading to show the "ROM may flash stock recover on boot. Fix?" error message and I selected no and "Root Access Possibly Lost Fix?" I also selected no. My phone booted with no custom rom still rooted and most of my apps are unresponsive and close randomly except facebook and youtube.
I decided I wanted to return it to stock rom and try again but when I downloaded the stock tar file and tried to flash it I got this
I'm not sure what to do because I cant return it to stock rom, clockmod recovery has stopped working, and every video I watch about how to fix it is only making it worse.
If you have any idea what I can do or what I'm doing wrong let me know.
Odin failed because you cannot flash older firmware. Your best bet is to reflash recovery via Odin, then if you want stock go to enewman17's stock rom/system dump thread in development and flash the rom and factory reset.

I tried to flash cwm recovery onto my phone usb debugging selected and now odin doesnt even show that my phones recognized. This is so frustrating.
I suggest installing Philz Touch recovery via Odin and using Philz to flash a custom ROM to at least get your phone up and running.

If Kies is on your computer, remove it. Have you tried reinstalling drivers?
