[Q] Soft brocked my T989. When started "Samsung" flashes then goes blank

I had manually loaded ICS 4.0.3 but didn't like it and tried to go back to 3.5. I used the unlock ROM that's been floating around here for awhile. When it was done installing I re-booted, the "SAMSUNG" logo came up and then screen goes blank. Only way to turn phone off is to pull battery.
I can get into Samsung recovery mode but when I try factory reset it tells me cache/recovery files cannot be found.
Any help on a solution would be appreciated.
Fortunately I have a friend at corporate or I'd really be screwed. He can get me a new phone but I'd like to try and fix this one as it's my fault.

Can you get into download mode and Odin a stock image?

I'm going to try that first thing in the morning as I left the phone at my office. I'll let you know if it works.

Hallelujah! Odin recovery worked! Thanks for the suggestion!

Soft-Bricked Telus Galaxy S2X

Hello, new here.
My Galaxy S2X is soft-bricked because i decided to flash a stock telus rom onto it with Odin[Previously i had Mr.X's Rooted rom] All it does now is boot up, goes through a boot loop (S Logo). I cannot go into Recovery mode but i can go into download mode. I tried flashing different roms but with no luck.
Any help please

sounds to me like you should go to the right forums. i think your phone is the same as the TMobile 989 and the AT&T/Rogers 727
definitely isnt the i777 which is the forum you are currently in

If you can get into download mode you are good. You have to flash a stock Telus ROM in Odin. I am not sure what caused your soft brick the first time around, but make sure you follow the directions exactly and do not check "repartition" in Odin.

Have you tried other Stock Telus builds?

Umm... did u try flashin cwm again through odin, using adb on pc to reboot to recovery, wiping user data and flashing LE4. Radio then reboot?
Also, just a reminder, don't expect it to boot right up, stock has a good amount of bloat (telus is nowhere near as bad as tmo, but its still there)
It will take longer then normal too boot, give it at least 10min before callin it quits

Thanks, flashing Recovery again and then wiping the user data worked.
Thanks man :laugh:

Hey guys, I was playing around on my phone, and I downloaded something off of 4shared (just a game) and it crashed and made my phone freeze. I then held my power button and waited for it to boot but now im stuck in a bootloop with the stock telus rom... is there anything I can do that wont wipe everything on my phone? Oh and I can get into both CWM recovery and download mode.
EDIT: I gave it some more time to startup and it pretty much factory reseted my phone. I get that thing to setup my phone after startup. Everytime I turn my phone off it goes back to this screen and my phone restarts. If I surf through the files of my phone, it shows I still have everything but It doesnt show any of my apps or anything.

Posting this question in a very old thread probably isn't your best move. Maybe start a new thread?? This thread didn't have a post since July and its not even the same issue as you.
Just my advice!

(Factory Stock) If AdamOutlers Odin Package Fails. Restore from soft/hard brick.

If you did something stupid or flashed incompatable kernel with a rom and then tried to return to stock by following Adam's guide and it completed but get's stuck at the [email protected] screen and you think you are screwed well you aren't you just have to use kies but try this first: "Usually when you are stuck on the AT&T screen after Odin, you do not even have to use kies.
A lot of the time if you just boot into factory recovery and factory reset from there it will boot up fine after that. Actually this works just about every time" Thanks to "jthrasher47" for that. If that doesn't work for you than continue by using kies. And if all else fails we have one last option thanks to "ou812bkewl" It seems to be a last resort and probably the most not noob friendly but a very well written guide, here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43512474
Here is a guide:
First this will most likely work for all Gs4's Canadian and all But not tested. I used on my [email protected] and It restores it back to factory stock no issues whatsoever. Also I have noticed that you might not even have to put your GS4 into "Download Mode" Just plug in and turn it on if you have really f'd up your phone and then just follow these simple directions.
1.Write down your Model and Serial which is found behind the battery on the sticker.
2.Plug Phone into a Good USB with a Good Cable and start up phone in download mode ( Power button Plus Volume down, then hit Volume up to continue.
3.Download and install Kies http://storagecow.tk/index.php?dir=Xda%2FJohnMonsour%2FKies+SoftBrick+Recovery%2F
4.Start Kies and Click Tools-> Firmware upgrade and initilazation up in the top tabs.
5.Type in model of your phone for example if on US AT&T: SGH-I337 ( all in capital letters) click OK, that you wrote down from the first step and click OK
5.There will be info about firmware click OK
6.Info about software version. Put your phone in download mode by pressing volume down key, home button and power button then connect to PC using orginal USB cable, click OK
7. Follow info on screen.
8. Phone will reboot by itself when all is done correctly.
Good luck Hope this help's some people that have soft or hard bricked.

Thanks for the thread OP. This is very useful info for those that soft-brick their phones.
I soft-bricked my SG4 using a hacked I9505 image (that had the apps-SD update) + I337M kernel & tried to move back to a factory image via odin roms (used the official roms & kernel from sammobile). Was nasty - tried everything to get unbricked from AOSP/ to stock roms to saved nandroids. All left the phone dead except for recovery & download modes.
I had actually found this procedure on my own before seeing this thread, but it was pretty much step-by-step the same thing I did. After doing this, my phone booted to the same state it was in when I brought the phone home from the Virgin store -- including all the 'official' tags showing on the download mode.

Thanks for the confirmation and yeah hopefully this will help some people. If not we have a few options to try and they are all in this one place.

well, i now find myself needing to recover from a botched AROMA install using an I9505 ROM; device froze and rebooted before loki patch was installed. tried this method and the ODIN method using files from SamMobile but neither worked. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks!
UPDATE: ODIN worked after i uninstalled KIES software, friggin driver issue .

Glad you got it working!

Always a Pleasure.
Alright I'm about to write a in depth tutorial to you restore to stock on MF3 and an extensive how to guide. Can't believe this thread got dug back up..... I'm guessing 4.3 is out on [email protected] again over kies and OTA... If you have MF3 or MDB or MDL then you need to freeze the proper files asap before your device downloads and installs the new update. Idk though.... Sorry Rantoca? What base-band are you running and what did kies restore your phone to? MDL??? Or the New MJ9? Correct me if I am wrong But I think 4.3 official is MJ6 Or MJ9????? Right Anyways? Is it out once again. And instead of pulling up old threads. Just hit the Thanks under peoples Usernames instead of posting a comment. For future reference. And you are welcome. MF3 User's Do not install the new 4.3 as we are currently working on a g-fuse reset downgrade method. Or slowly but surly we are getting to the bottom of the encryption scheme. Now I am at 9457 Commits..... LOL. My friend has his jtag unit and we have two locked versions. Guess which variants? Anyone???? Big Red and Orange and Blue... HAHA. Then a Pink Variant and Also your favorite mullti-flavored Popsicle variant with a hint of vanilla.

Nevermind Read in your threads that you got stuck on the splash screen after flashing kit-kat. So Kies still has 4.2.2. AMDL.... But not for long. You are extremly lucky that they pulled the 4.3 Update off of Kies and OTA or you would have been up the creek..... I"ll Update that thread is obsolete and post a Multi-Recovery guide that uses Heimdall and Odin 3.04 My favorite version. On we go!!!

thanks
i was running on MDL and i was like crazy reading how i can get it back
maybe this one is the 3rd thanks for your info but help me a lot :good::good:

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 i317 Won’t Boot After Update

Issue
1. Phone won’t boot beyond the Samsung Logo.
2. It won’t boot into recovery (download mode works).
3. Can flash rom using Odin but phone still won't boot.
Type of Phone
Type: AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Model: i317
Ownership: Bought in Nov 2012 brand new. Warranty is up but it is insured through AT&T.
History: Rooted and then un-rooted and returned to stock in January 2014.
Actions leading up to Issue
Updated to Samsung’s newest firmware Android 4.3 but didn’t like it. I rooted my phone and tried a custom rom but wasn’t happy. Un-rooted by flashing original stock rom via Odin 3.07. Worked great and I was back in business. But then the phone went through an update and never booted back up.
Detail
I’ve rooted all my other phones but never felt the need to root this one until I updated to Samsung’s new Android 4.3. I wasn’t happy with the decreased battery life and poor performance. So I used the method at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650 to root my phone using “root66_ATT_I317UCALJ2.tar.md5” with Odin 3.07 and it worked. I then tried a custom Cyanogen Mod rom but it still left something to be desired.
After more research I flashed the original stock rom “KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5” via Odin 3.07 and my phone worked beautifully, at least for a day. Then I started getting the AT&T update window for Android 4.3 and the only way to get rid of it was to pull my battery. It was happening so much that I couldn’t even make a phone call. Out of pure frustration I decided to accept the update.
After the update installed it rebooted and never made it past the Samsung logo. So I figured I would just go into recovery and perform a factory reset as well as wipe the cache. The problem here is that it won’t boot into recovery. Only download mode works. I’m also seeing a red LED which I’ve read is a sign of SDS.
I’ve tried re-flashing the original stock rom again. Every time I do I get the green “Pass” display but my phone still won’t boot. The binary count is now at 21 since I’ve tried flashing so many times. I’ve been working on this and researching for 3 weeks. I’ve never had an issue that I couldn’t resolve when it comes to any of my past phones but this is beyond my skill or understanding. I also tried Samsung keys but it says my device is not supported.
Short of digging a hole in my back yard and burying it, is there anything I can do to fix this?
(Note) My wife has the same phone and also didn’t like the update so I flashed the same original stock rom to her phone via Odin and it has been working just fine. Only difference is I never rooted hers. I should have gone that route with mine.

Have you tried flashing, via Odin, just a custom recovery?
If that works, you may be able to follow this guide, starting at post #2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618447
If that doesn't work, it is possible you have an emmc issue.... Your symptoms are similar to what others have reported here recently. You might be able to get a repair covered if you can get them to look past the custom counter ... You are running stock firmware... Maybe kies tripped the counter... Stranger things have happened...

Here's the link to TWRP (you want the Odin link toward the bottom):
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/124
Here's the direct link to the latest philz cwm (you want the md5 file):
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/t0lteatt
I prefer philz, but you will likely need TWRP to follow the dicksteele guide. You should also track down a CWM flashable recovery package for MH3 recovery to flash back should you need to return the phone for repairs. You can get this by following the i317 link in my sig.
If flashing this in Odin doesn't work that would tend to support the emmc fail scenario. (i.e. you flash it, Odin behaves as if it flashed ok, you power off, attempt to boot recovery with home-VolUp-power and it still doesn't boot). If it does boot recovery, you can try the guide as I mentioned before. Good luck!

I tried each of those just now and they both flashed fine however there is no change. I guess before I break out the shovel I'll try to see if AT&T will fix it since I do pay for the insurance. Thanks for the help that was good stuff. I wish it could have worked.

then try one of the official odin package or this:http://d-h.st/DGZ

So, there appear to be many people who see this update as a bad joke. Like me.
I had a thread a couple days ago about how to kill the notification from att

About needing a battery pull to remove pp note, I have been just reboot and it
Goes away until next data use/net access. When my 8 hrs is up I turn data on

You flashed LJ2 Stock ROM from ODIN?
And you are back to the Samsung Logo that flashing/pulsing blue???
If so .....
Pull the battery and let the phone sit for a few seconds, pop the battery in and boot into stock recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER) and do a FACTORY RESET then reboot.
I had to do the same thing an hour ago....

I can't believed it worked. Flashed this and suddenly I have recovery. Then I re-flashed the original stock rom, did a reset and wiped the cache and I'm back up and running. Brilliant I say. Genius! Thank you for the great post and thanks everyone for your help. Seems like there should be a like button or something so that you get credit but I don't see one. This was my first time ever posting on any forum so I'm a little ignorant.

Glad you're back among the living.
This will get you back to 4.1.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49616718&postcount=2
EDIT:
I just did this and it worked perfectly .....
I'm actually doing that step right now also. I flashed back to stock testing the ATT update server.
EDIT #2:
At this step when the phone reboots the script will run. When it completes you want to boot to system. The next prompt will be do you want to install ROOT. If you do the swipe it will install ROOT, there is a DO NOT INSTALL button on the middle of the screen. Just a heads up, don't know if you are turning your phone back in or not now.
- Second step is:
You will need to download TWRP 2.6.3.1 and flash it in ODIN.
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0lt...lteatt.img.tar
This is necessary for an openrecovery script to run that is stored in the /cache directory from the update.
- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode.
- Open ODIN, put openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar in PDA slot. Click Start and let the phone reset.
- Your phone will reboot in TWRP. If not, pull battery and enter recovery mode boot into TWRP recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER). The script will run by itself.

sgh-i317 EFS seems like its gone
could anybody help me out with my note 2. ive tried just about everything i can think of. im getting pretty desperate. i can get everything to work fine (recovery,download mode,) but something is keeping it from booting up to the main screen, it will just hand at the boot animation, or the att logo. in twrp it tells me failed to mount efs. ive looked around in the file folders and its like it got wiped out? im not sure how though. could that be why its not booting up?
any ideas??

And from the sounds of it, you downloaded the wrong Rom for your phone! And it's always bad skiing stuff late when we're tired. That's when we run into problems. It's called late night flashing

Thanks for the recommendation but I've previously tried the method, but my phone always failed to download (even when it wasnt rooted) would u have any other way of solving it without having to use odin. . . my phone is currently stuck in recovery mode so any help trying to get out of it would be helpful. .thank you for your time helping me solve my issue

Put the correct ROM on your external sd card with a PC adaptor. Install the card, boot into recovery, wipe system and data, then install the correct ROM. Boot, let rhe phone settle in for a few minutes, connect to wifi, or check if the correct ROM has the at&t APN settings.

Ranger is correct, try doing what he suggested.
But not really understanding what you have tried from your post.....
Which method, and what does fail to download?
Do you mean fail to get into download mode, and you only can get into recovery?
Are you doing this to get to download mode?
Put your Note 2 in Download Mode
-First you will need to turn off your device.
-Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button.
-Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up.
-Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Obviously you want to press the volume up. Now you are ready to ODIN flash.

i will be sure to try this method whenever i get my hands on an SD card adaptor. What ROM would be best to download for the correct at&t APN settings? i would look but my past luck has been failure.
Thank you for your help

i would have tried ODIN for this situation but everytime i do. It says "FAILED" how would you suggest i fix this so that my phone can use ODIN. I was going from cyanogenMod to a custom ROM, but i assume i didnt flash the old ROM and now i kinda stuck in a bootloop like it'll show the samsung intro then show the customROM emblem stays there. I've left it in that state for a whole night and it didnt change (still showing the custom ROM emblem) the only thing i can do is enter TWRP v2.6.3.1 and access my external SD.

Sorry bout that. . just tried to connect my phone to ODIN in ODIN MODE. I'll update with what happened.
Just got done trying to flash with ODIN, and it got the part where it starts to install but 4 mins. in my device was removed. I was using the PDA from sammobile.com, and now my phone is saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." i know it might be as simple as actually doing what it says but Kies will not recognize my At&t samsung galaxy note II. What would u suggest to let my laptop recognize my device??

Thank you for your time helping me with my phone issue. I took the steps you suggested, now im running custom ROM jellybean 4.1.1. and got my service provider back. If you could suggest away to get my stock program and upgrade to jellybean 4.3. I had fun with the rooted life but i make the worst mistakes.
PS. i found it to be alot easier using the other tar. in the firmware u suggested me to use. At least for At&t Samsung Galaxy Note II

So i just flashed my at&t Samsung galaxy note II with jellybean 4.1.1 using Odin ( ATT_I317UCAMA4_I317ATTAMA4) and it was going on with everything working. Then i tried to update to jellybean 4.3 after it got done installing it rebooted, and what do u know, i'm stuck in boot loop the Samsung galaxy note 2 logo, and cant access recovery mode. Also I tried the original firmware that used repeatedly,would that hurt the system. Would there be any firmwares suggested to use.

yes it updated and installed but after it installed and rebooted its in
a constant boot loop. Is this going to be a simple permanent fix?
