Am I having a Hard Brick? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

My note 2 was working perfectly with CleanROM 3.3. Only one problem is the Flash Player not working. So I flashed the new Flash Player from the site. Then after that my Note 2 WON'T start or Power on or get into Recovery MOde. NOTHING is happen. Am I having the hard brick? I believed I did not do anything wrong except flashed the new Flash Player. Weirddddd. I am with Rogers. Any help, Pleaseeeee.
Thank You all

You "flashed" flash player? What did you do exactly?

Thank you for your fast reply. By using Note 2, I just downloaded the new Flash Player apk from this XDA site and install like normal. After that I reboot the phone. And that is all. I can not turn it on or go into recovery mode. I did Nandroid backup but useless now because the phone wont start.

Which version did u download? Just went to adobes archives and the flash player for android downloaded as an apk. And I would NOT flash an apk file I would just install as normal.

Thanks for your help. I am so rush for it, did not check what version it was. It said the newest version then i installed it. Damnnnn, my note 2 is just perfect. If I hard brick my phone for this stupid reason, I am very upset.

Besides, I saw a RED light keep flashing at the upper right corner. Dont know what it means. Properly, it mean....to get the new phone LoL

First off, obvious question- is it charged? Have you pulled the battery & then tried restarting yet? Also, when you plug it in to your computer, does the computer recognize it or give an error? My GSII got bricked by TWRP & it wouldn't do anything at all either, and when I plugged it in my comp it gave me a "driver not found" error.
Either way, even you ARE bricked, all you have to do is call Samsung. Tell them you were using your phone when all of a sudden it shut off and won't turn back on & they can unbrick it for you. I had my GSII back in a week, working like new.

hahaha thank you bro. I did take battery out and in so many times. Hooked up to PC and nothing is working. I will give Sammy a call today. Thanks for your advice. MerryX bro

Did you say that Odin recognize your phone or doesn't recognize it? If Odin recognize your phone then your definitely in luck.

Now you have to get the original unrooted factory rom .tar file and restore your phone back to factory. Your phone is just soft bricked so you are very lucky. Use google or the xda search feature and look up something along the lines of "SGH-T989 .tar file" or "T-Mobile Galaxy S II tar". The exact file you need is floating around here somewhere.

r u talking about the sgh-t989-stock-recovery.tar? i have tried that but get stuck on setupconnection
There is no stock rom tar file for our phone yet. We only have a kernel and stock recovery tar.
You can't get into recovery?
This phone is a BEAST!
what is the proper way to get into recovery. my phone wont do jack right now.

Honestly I haven't done this yet with the GS2, but I've done it a million times with a Vibrant I once owned. I'm gonna look it up right now and see what I find. This should be a pretty easy process. The best part is that at least your phone isn't completely bricked.

First do a battery pull, then put the battery back into the phone, hold both the up and down volume rocker and press the power button till the phone vibrates (letting you know its been turned on), soon as the phone vibrate then release the power button but do not let go of the volume rocker until you see the recovery image! Once you see the recovery image you are easily back in business. Let me know if you can at least get into recovery.

What ROM did you guys install? Few questions. Did you guys install Samsung drivers. If not install through kies or from the development section here and reboot computer. Then put in download mode and wait for comp. to recognize phone again. try entering recovery and flash a basic stock ROM from dev section. See if that works.

Unable to install CWM onto S3 after doing it once successfully

Hey all. I could use a bit of help with this problem I've got here! I dunno what to do, I've searched with no answer!
A little while ago, I got CWM on my T-Mobile S3. Then I tried to flash roms onto it, but it wouldn't work no matter what ROM I tried, so I just decided to quit, and instead, I flashed a stock ROM back onto my device, which thankfully worked. However, this also got rid of my CWM.
Now, no matter what I do, I can't install the CWM recovery tar through Odin. It says it's passed, but then I try to boot into the Recovery menu, it just shows the Android System Recovery one, not CWM, even though Odin says it passed. Has anyone else run into this problem, or know how to deal with it?
Pull battery when it saysdone. Remember to uncheck the restart box. Put battery back in and go straight to recovery
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Unbelievable, it worked! I've been having this problem for weeks, and you managed to solve it so quickly! I can't thank you enough!
Ah, however, once I restart the phone and try to get into CWM again, it again goes back to the Android System Recovery. So will I have to have to use Odin every time that I want to access CWM?
Yeah i just got this phone yesterday and ran into the same problem. Until i went to the last page where they reiterated it several times lol

Flash the CWM from my signature with Odin. Reboot into recovery, then press reboot system. It should ask about stock recovery. If it doesn't, I have a zip file that will disable it.
Maybe a bad download? Lol hopefully the other recovery worked

Check my thread . Link above.
Do like doc says. But u must have su installed before it takes u back to stock recovery .

I would like some help!?

I have recently purchased a galaxy note 2 and as I was reading the original development forums as a non-member I came across a cyanogen 10.1 port! I flashed this onto my phone along with the gapps for 4.1.2 this caused my phone to boot in and have error messages everywhere and I could not get out of them!!! I am going into panic mode!!! Is there any way to undo what I did?! I have not been able to find a stock rom for ATT that allows for a reset with Odin!? So is there any way to get me out of this predicament!?

Really sounds like you need to stop. Read. Read some more. And then some more. Before you brick your phone. The rom jyazzie mentioned is flashed the same way you put cm10.1 on your phone.

I have read as much as possible! the way I put it was incorrect I have no way of accessing my phone because as soon as I boot up it says there was an error starting gapps then it continues to say this indefinitely... so the only way to install any sort of fix for this would be from my computer!

To flash the rom by scrosler is the exact same way you flashed cm10. Before you do anything I suggest you take a few hours and read this over and over until you know what you are doing.

If you flashed cm 10.1 on your phone there is no way you have a stock recovery. Unless you've done something else that you haven't told us. I think we need more info.

Rooting GS3

So I know how to root the device, I'm just having a few problems. First, my laptop isnt recognizing my phone in download mode. Is there a driver I need to install for the phone? Second, odin isnt opening on my laptop either. It has worked many many times before but right now when I open it, it shows this box that says "odin (little boxes next to it)" and an "okay" button. Once I click the "okay" button" It quickly opens and closes odin not allowing me to do anything.
Can someone help me out a little?
Try drivers and Odin from my signature.

It said i had those drivers installed already, but I did them again anyway. And those are the 2 versions of odin I've always used, but I'm going to download yours and try them also. Thanks, and I'll let you know if they work.
Odin is acting the same way as mine did. I'm pretty sure somethings up with my laptop. I'll try restarting it or playing with its settings to see whats going on.

Try to uninstall to the drivers and reinstall them, then get the latest ODIN for the s3. And try to root. If that doesnt work. Use a different computer like your friends. .

Thanks, I seen it. There is so many things.
I'm mostly interested in sound volume hacks and mods. I flashed univers4 ROM and it comes with the ACID thing for sound but I dont really know whats it doing. I'm used to having voodoo sound which is enabled from the kernel. Is there any mods that actually allow you to override the system settings for at least headphone volume?

You need to use the One Click Restore method found here :
Mirror 1 (Latest Version) - goo,gl/PZgtX
Mirror 2 (Older Version But Might Be Faster) - goo,gl/L9Nct
IMPORTANT: You Need To Install goo,gl/ETEQs If Your Computer Says The Installation Failed Use a Different Computer Because That Will Not Work!
I had this problem just yesterday and had to figure it out by myself. This will solve your problem.
