SGH-t889V Stuck in Bootloop with Stock ROM

I recently obtained my Note 2 from Wind, however my IMEI was switched to null/null by a failed attempt at flashing a rom. I have tried flashing the Stock rom from sammobile for the SGH-t889V/Wind using Odin, however bootloops still persist.
I can get the phone running in a custom ROM such as JediX, however than the issue with the IEMI pops up and it seems I need a stock rom to have any attempt to fix it.
As of now, I have reverted the phone back to stock/unroot and it is in bootloop. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to go into recovery and do factory reset.

Factory reset has also been attempted several times.

After flashing factory image via odin right ?

Yep, factory reset after installing stock rom for the T889V. I rooted it afterwards to get into recovery and wiped everything but still no change, stuck in bootloop.

I sincerely hope "never flash any t889 custom rom on your t889v" could appear somewhere obvious in t889 forums to avoid such tragedy happening again

No. Don't root it yet. Flash factory image. Reboot (should result in boot loop). Go into FACTORY RECOVERY (vol up+home+power). That will have a option to do a factory reset. Do that. Reboot again. This time you should be able to boot successfully. After that you can root and stuff.

Did it word for word as you said. Flashed the stock image via Odin, and then did factory reset using your method. Still in bootloop.
In Odin my phone says it is SGH-T889V_NA_VTA
Custom Binary Download: Yes (9 Counts)
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
I am using the T889VVLALJ4_T889VYVLALJ4_GLW image, retrieved from Sammobile Am I supposed to be using GLW with a VTA as it says in Odin, or should my phone be saying it is a GLW?

hmm. What did your phone come with? GTW or MCT or VTR? Use the correct tar and see if that clears it up.
Don't worry about system status saying custom and binary saying 9. you can clear all that up later once you get a stock image.

My phone is saying VTR in Odin, would I be able to used the Odex Rom you provide in your post?

You can, but that's rooted and need CWM or TWRP to flash it.

My phone is a GLW phone, however the GLW Stock ROM doesnt seem to work my phone. To reiterate, I'm still experiencing the same problem regardless of reboots/wiping.

VTR still isn't working. I'm pretty sure this phone is a GLW, however anything stated in this thread has not worked to assist me in getting my phone to work.

Well in that case not sure what to tell you. Factory Image should at the very least let you boot.

Just wanted to let you know that I am in the same boat as you are.. I worked with ptmr3 for about 3 days trying to fix it.. but to no avail..
I sent it away through wind. Which they tried to charge me 350 $ to have it fixed since there is no way to remove the flash counter without being on stock rom.. I can also install jedi x roms on my t889v but the bootloop still persists after about 2 or 3 minutes of being on the home screen.. my signel also is gone.. according to the service center that wind sends their phones away to they stated. Faulty motherboard.. motherboard modified.. root access found.. so in other words I am sitting here with a 729 $ paperweight with no way of fixing it..
I am looking into a company called jtag repairs.... but they have been reluctant to send me an email back about it..

Hi, I had the same problem after flashing a T-Mobile ROM, after flashing the T-Mobile ROM I was stuck in a bootloop.
To get out of the bootloop
1. I flashed the stock WindMobile ROM
2. Flashed cwm recovery V6.0.2.5 .tar: http://www.mediafire.com/?oyv15gidjxd6c23
3. Flashed the T-Mobile modem through the recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380
4. I was back up using the phone, however no signal. To fix this i used nv-writer tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
5.I flashed this file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1580200&d=1356058365) through the nv-writer tool and voila, signal was back!

[Q] Hard bricked ... what do u think ?

So am running stock 4.1.2 rooted and suddenly phone restarts and gets stuck at Samsung bootscreen
Factory reset and cache wipe from recovery didnt help
Tried to odin flash a firmware (4.1.2) odin says failed and never starts the flashing
Then I tried a 4.1.1 flashed perfectly. Though at first boot, it gets stuck at the working android logo and keeps restarting
what could be the problem ?

Is the handset rooted?
If so you need to download samsung note 2 toolkit. this is here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
ensure you have the correct adb drivers but the toolkit can also do this aswell. you then need to put the system into recovery mode. (I assume you know how to boot up recovery.) You need to install a customer recovery specifically TWRP so boot up the toolkit. select your device and make sure you choose the current version of android you have on it not the version you wish to install. You then need to flass an insecure boot image for correct adb access so choose option 3, follow the instructions select TWRP as your recovery and complete as directed.
Once this has finished you then need to download your rom, if its stock it can be located here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032849 for n7105 (lte version) and here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 for original.
Download the zip and place into the "push_files_here" of the toolkit folders.
Boot into your new twrp recovery
Reload the toolkit, choose your device, choose the option to push the file to your device, select the device, for destination type"/sdcard/" and follow onscreen options until file is finished.
Your file should now be on your phone in the home folder.
Go to "wipe", select "factory reset" now to "install" select your new spangly rom, wipe dalvik cache once completed and wala you should have one shiny new rooted odexed note 2 that sould load fine. Any issues get back to me and i will be happy to help.
I deliberately bricked my device about 8 times to find the best way to recover.

Did you try the method i mentioned using the note 2 toolkit. You need to have a customer recovery and bootloader to install certain thinkgs. Try the noet 2 toolkit and follow the instructions i sent you. This should fix it.

Put stock rom in pda and pit in partition and check repartition.

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.

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.

[Q] at&t note 2 in bootloop and i can't get back into recovery mode

ok, I'm not sure if i'm posting in the right place, but if not, I'll just have to get some crap about that. I have a note 2 and the 4.3 update was draining my battery faster than was acceptable, so i rooted and flashed cm11 to it. I didn't like cm11 after a few days, so i went to try to return to 4.2.
every time i'd try, there would be either an error extracting the files to my computer or it would fail in odin. i finally got tired of trying and decided to go back to the stock firmware and was going to update back to the current official firmware. i thought it had unrooted, and i got the stock firmware working, but when i went to update back to 4.3, it failed and is now stuck on the "samsung galaxy note II" screen when i turn it on. I can get it into download mode, and i try to reflash various roms hoping something will work at this point, but nothing does. odin says it's successful, but it stays on that same screen when i turn it on.
the only thing i can think of is that i forgot to do a data wipe or clear the cache at some point in trying to get back and forth between roms? the problem is that i can't get back into recovery mode, AT ALL. I've tried every combination of the volume up, down, home and power buttons. I've tried holding all the buttons and plugging in the usb cable, EVERYTHING.
i've searched everywhere on xda and tried all of it, multiple times. I saw a thread about a flashable rom that included a data wipe, but it was for a completely different phone, so i left the thread to search for a compatible option like that. i've rooted a few other phones in the past with success, and failure, but none that couldn't be overcome.
Can anyone help? Please!!

Ok, I don't think it will work as your bootloader are updated to 4.3 version and since you are trying to go back on 4.2 may be that ROM is trying to flash 4.2 bootloaders.

Yes, I think Stock 4.3 will work...Go in download mode and flash 4.3 stock rom from here.

Also, you can find 4.3 bootloaders in above thread. (just make sure that you dont flash "AT&T i317 ODIN 4.3 UCUBMJ4 (Leak) Bootloader & TZ (AT&T Note 2 ONLY)" as these bootloaders are only for 4.3 Leaked version. But since you were on STOCK 4.3, therefore don't flash this bootloader.
I will suggest not to try ROM which ShrekOpher provided as that ROM is leaked 4.3 ROM and has different Bootloader.

You can also try this before flashing any ROM and see if this fix problem for you -
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.

ive flashed with odin many times with many roms, but nothing is working. it still freezes at the "samsung galaxy note 2" screen. i've tried stock roms, custom roms, and i've even tried doing an emergency firmware install through samsung kies. i can get to download mode, but not recovery mode.

Also, for some reason, my computer is saying many of the zip files are damaged or can't be opened for some reason. I've tried winace, bitzipper, and 7zip, and it does the same on all of them for some of the files. that's what it said for all of the files on that link any idea of a way around it?

You can try to root it by flashing CWM via Odin and then if you can get into recovery mode try to do Factory Reset and reboot. Hopefully this will solve your problem. If Factory reset don't solve your problem then you can flash new room from recovery mode.

i can't get into recovery mode to flash any roms or do a factory reset that's my issue. is there a way to get into recovery mode if the phone won't boot up and the three button way isn't working?

You can go into download mode, right? So, I am saying that instead of flashing ROM from Odin. Try to Flash CWM via Odin and then try to put your phone into recovery mode...

and why would it keep saying the files are damaged? is it something with my computer, or the file, or the extracting program?

that's actually the exact one i used to root my phone originally. it worked then, but it isn't working now. it will work in odin, and says it passes, but when i try to boot or get into recovery mode, it won't do it

1) Pull the battery and let the phone sit for a few seconds,
2) (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER) and
3) pop the battery in while holding those 3 buttons and see if you can get into recovery this way.
If you can get to recovery this way then do Factory Reset and reboot.

I've read thru this thread, and see your having problems everything recovery mode.
Q:
You sure you have a custom recovery installed?
Are you sure it's rooted?
If so then you should be able to install a custom recovery, using goo manger!
You can also look here for info..

Soft-bricked? Odin passes but still stuck on loadup

AT & T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-13I7
So I'm at a loss on what to do with my phone at this point..
Everything was running great until yesterday, I attempted to root it, the root attempt was unsuccesful but the phone still worked just fine and It even got shut off and turned on a few times after the failed attempt. But one time it froze up after installing an app and after that the phone got stuck on the boot screen.
So this morning I flashed the stock 4.1.2 Rom and it worked again, then I updated the phone on the device itself. OTA is what you would call it I believe. And now I'm back to where I started. The phone gets stuck on the galaxy note 2 loading screen and it wont start.
I cannot enter recovery mode in order to wipe the settings and clear the cache.
I can enter download mode however, and my attempts at flashing the stock firmware PASS on Odin but the phone only gets stuck on the loading screen again afterwards
Does anyone know what I should do?
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch
Is there any way I might be able to enter a recovery mode using an micro SD card?

To which rom you updated? Know that from newest version there is no going back.

Edit : there's a way(maybe) to get to download mode. But not sure if it will work on your phone. There is a thing called jig kick USB. You can build one yourself.

Thats probably my problem then. I was running 4.3 and the stock firmware I installed was 4.1.
Is jig kick USB used to get into download mode, if thats the case then I am already able to do that. Just not get into recovery mode.

Yes I noticed later that you can access download mode. So try to flash the rom you updated to but for your carier as your phone is from at&t you should use their rom. I don't have carrier phone so I speak theoretically. But I guess you understand what I mean.

mine is the same n7105, so how did this go, did it worked?
mine n7105 says passed and once rebooted don't pass n7105 logo, i can only enter download mode,

I'm having the exact same issue, 7100 Sprint. Odin flashes pass but still stuck on SGNII screen, can't flash recovery or ROM. Had 4.1.2 and accepted OTA mistakenly.

I literally just had this problem with my SGH-I317 and fixed it with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891 go down to where it says "If you are running the official *MK6* firmware"

ive had something similar. had odin pass. no cwm / twrp access only stock recovery and stock downloader mode.
you need to flash a stock rom to get it back, then boot into it. connect pc. (a different usb port sometimes) get ODIN to reboot it into downloader mode. I had major problems getting to that point. but got it from flashing a stock rom. I have also had this old CM10 rom that fix's all partitions etc. i cant remember the name of it now.
a couple of times ive had issues getting into custom recovery. when you hold power +vol up + home key. when u do keep holding power. it loops boot and loops back again. when u release. make sure you hold power for like 1-2 seconds on logo. dont release power button before logo appears. wait a second after it appears. get it every time now.

Try to flash latest TWRP trough ODIN and check if you can boot in to recovery after that.
