ok..
so im stuck.. tried to reflash the stock DL17, using the downloads provided, including PIT (repartition checked).. via ODIN 1.3 to clear back to stock..
after flashing, the phone booted to DL17 - sort of.. no data was gone, all the wife's programs were there, and i got into a FC hell during setup. ACORE, GAPPS, pretty much every program.
then re-odined the DL17 by itself, no repartition, no pit..
now i cant get anything to flash...ODIN tells me it flashes fine, normal on there.. the phone does not hit the samsung logo.. goes straight to the android system recovery and i have NO hotkeys to select anything..
it says at the bottom..
"e:can't mount /dev/block/st111" (twice)
then under that it says
"update.zip gone"
ive tried every combo from the dev tools thread, and all flash fine via ODIN but go straight back to the android recovery, and i cant select anything..
anyone have any creative ideas?
First, "bricked" is used for when your phone does nothing.
Second, this isn't a development post. And read through stickies in general forum. This problem has been solved. Mostly from Irc.

geez im just going to leave this one alone lol
completly correct..my fault..i wasnt paying attention to where i was posting because of my frustration level..
and for the record i tried the heimdall magic fix in general section and it didnt work. phone starts to boot then shuts off. have to pull battery to get power. 3 finger recovery does not work either..just flashes the screen with samsung and dies again.

The fact that no data was gone the first time interests me.... Was it definitely a full system/data/cache/everything else tar?
I would download the EC07 full package, repartition, then try my magic fix....

if i remember correctly, on irc, he said he flashed a rom that wasn't meant for the continuum, rather another galexy device..
well you surely are not bricked. but the cache partition is in deed messed up. (stl11 refers to the cache partition) unfortunatly, it seams as though you have done just about everything.
Try loading up heimdall and load only the pit, the kernel(imnuts hacked kernel is what i recomend using), and the modem/radio(ec07).
This should fix any partition issues. It will format the partitions in place where they should be but it will not write to the partitions. What i recommend next is different from most other things.
Hopefully if all is well, when you install the kernel it should fix the issues with the boot loader. boot into CWM if possible. Now try and flash a version of ec07.
If you are only receiving the stl11 issue all other partitions should be good. once the kernel and everything else is in place and you flash the system it should be good and boot up... hopefully

Starts to boot? Where does it get to? Do you get into recovery, at all? Also, do you get samsung logo? Before you said it was booting straight into recovery. Has that changed after magic fix? I'd recommend doing a full ec07 stock with repartition in heimdall.
Thank you all..
I havent been to the IRC yet. Been trying everything else.
Here is the full story of the phone...
1. When the first ROM came out for this, I flashed it. Something (no idea what) borked it during the flash, and the phone wouldn't turn on. I could only get to CWM. I would try and wipe data, nothing would happen. I got a walk through from someone here on other stuff to try, which included mounting all the drives, and wiping them. I have never been able to mount (manually) any drive since - but it got me running again.
I was getting errors in CWM constantly.
2. No matter what i flash, or what (or how many times) i wipe data, datadata, system, ect.. whenever i flash anything the data from the old ROM remains on the phone and i end up in force close hell on the new ROM..
3. i probably the most stable ROM was EC03.. it worked but after a while would start random rebooting 4-5 times a day. ..so then wife wanted to try MIUINA.. we had her on V4 for a while. Then with upgrade to V5, things went bad again. I couldn't wipe data, ODIN the stock EC07 worked once, but the old data remained (all her settings/programs were force closing and old wallpaper remained.) then after that, I tried to ODIN MIUINA v5 again, ODIN said it worked, phone bootlooped into "stock" recovery, but gave the errors i posted above. no keypresses avail. t
tried heimdall fix all solution, now it boots to the SAMSUNG screen and hangs then shuts off, and wont turn on until a battery pull.
i cant 3 finger to recovery (wont let me, just hangs at samsung screen and then dies after about 2 minutes)
right now, i can get ODIN to work about half the time with the phone "taking" the flash, will get to the verizon logo and while building the dalvik, it dies, shuts off and then wont boot past samsung logo.
im going to try and see if i can get ODIN to let me flash CWM and get to cyan recovery and try a nandroid restore if it will let me.
can i use the DL17 stock MD5 file in heimdall? this is my first time using heimdall.. dont i need other files?

You will need the dl17 pit file. And to use heimdall, you need to break the tar down to its component files. I use 7zip for that, but winrar works too. I'll be in irc in 30 minutes, if you want to run through it.
thank you Txwolf1980 for the offer of an IRC chat, seriously..i just got this late this afternoon..i had to leave friday evening, and didnt get back until late.
i finally got the thing to boot..but it was out of total desperation, i started (logically, yet with reckless abandon, since I had nothing to lose at this point) flashing crap..
here is what i did to get this puppy running again..
ODIN, heimdall and CWM were doing nothing for me..no boot, no recovery, no 3 finger..nothing... still couldnt even boot into original system recovery..
since i have a fascinate, i had a few beers and decided to flash cwm4 (for the MTD ROMS) just to see what would happen...tried a 3 finger and it flickered the screen as if it *wanted* to go to recovery but didnt go into recovery, just kicked me back to the samsung screen..however i took the flicker as a good sign, maybe that jogged something somewhere..
i immediately reflashed the CWM adryn that is used for the continuum.. and 3 fingered after ODIN rebooted..
PROFIT! i now had the softkeys back to select the update zip for cyan recovery..
got into cyan recovery and went to mounts and storage, and mounted everything, wiped them (except for sd card) then unmounted them all and wiped them all again..
it took the commands.. i wiped the snot out of everything i could find to wipe.. i went back to install zip from SD card and flashed stock EC03 that i put on there months ago.. and hit reboot..
PROFIT! it booted.. it was all FUBAR, had screen flickering funny, and key presses were delayed by 3-4 seconds.. the phone was functional, calls, text, market all worked.. however, when the phone was powered off, it returned to stock (like a data wipe) upon restart. which was really weird..
f-it, i was booted.. and it was functional.. now to fix this for good...
i then did some research here, and found i was using the wrong PIT and EC07 ODIN files when flashing in ODIN.. found the right ones...and pulled battery, went to download mode, and flashed EC07 leak (production) with the I500 PIT, repartition checked..and ODIN immediately applied the PIT and flashed EC07...
the wifes phone is now running like a champ.. its not rooted, and is binged and bloated, but its looking like its completely fixed.. time will tell, but its been running for the last 6 hours now perfectly. I even rebooted 2x to make sure the changes/data/downloads stuck this time, and they did.
the wife threatened to snip off my giblets if i attempted to root it or mess with it anymore i tried to remind her that she is the one who liked the "cool other rom-thingies" but that didnt fly.. so i handed her the phone and said have fun....
sincere and heartfelt thanks to all who pitched in to the conversation to help... i hope that this post will help others who think their continuum is completely fubar..
im done messing with her phone. ill head back to flopping between ICS and MIUI on my fascinate where i know more abotu what im doing.. i haven't turned my fassy into a door stop in almost a year of HEAVY flashing..
so, for some weird, out-of-the-blue reason, i can't flash anything successfully through odin. i tried flashing sfhub's el29 one-click ROM (no data) and it flashed, however, when it's done flashing and it tries to boot, it just bootloops. i used to be able to just go into recovery, wipe data, reboot, and all would be fine, however i can't boot into recovery. when i hold down volume up + power, it shows the galaxy boot ani for a few seconds like it normally does when going into recovery mode, but then it'll disappear, the screen will go black, and then it will try to reboot normally again. it never goes into recovery mode.
i tried flashing EL26 stock CMW kernel, and odin goes through the motions as if it flashes, however, when i try to boot into recovery, it does what it did before: display the galaxy boot animation for a few seconds, disappear, then reboots normally.
now, i'm trying to flash sfhub's fb17 full restore and it's hung at data.img (like only 2% remaining). it's been stuck for about 10 minutes now.
WHAT DO? should i try using Kies to reinstall stock firmware?

dammit that really blows! i need to order a jig now to clear my count. dammit i knew i should've used the triangle app last night when i had the chance. blahhhhhhhhh
okay so i was able to remove the yellow triangle, but am not able to reset the odin count. is there a way to reset the count via recovery or odin? obviousy i can't use the yellow triangle app cuz i can't even get android loaded. seems like whatever the yellow triangle app is doing should be able to duplicated in recovery too. what say?

yeah, i saw that earlier, but i can't make anything of it.
i tried "/sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro" via adb while in recovery, but got access denied. is it because su isn't included in rogue 1.1.2 recovery? if so, how do i install su?
At least you should have the original bootloader so a jig will work.
To help others, do you think you can remember when the problem happened.
Usually it happens when doing operations in an ics-based custom recovery, operations like wipe/factory reset, restoring backups, flashing ROMs, etc.
i guess the usb jig is my only option if i wanna take it to the store. i'm a cheapskate and dont feel like waiting to get a jig shipped to me and then waiting longer for sprint to replace the phone, so i really wanted to find any manual way of repartitioning or just resetting the count myself.
anywho, this all started when...
i was in the process of wiping my phone to install aokp build 31. i flashed calk's wipe all script, then used the factory reset option in cwm recovery (http://www.mediafire.com/?hkydca9ob98z89m, first post of aokp dev thread). everything was kosher. i started odin'ing el26 (cuz i like to play it the safe way, and this way has always worked for me). odin seemed successful cuz it said "passed!"; and i had done this numerous times with every build of AOKP and CNA so nothing seemed out of the ordinary. when it rebooted, it got stuck at boot loop, which is typical in my experience -- i just go into stock recovery and wipe data and all would be good again. however, this time when i went into stock recovery to wipe data, it just froze and didn't do anything. and that's how i met your mother.
also, apparently the only recovery image i can flash via odin is steady hawkin's rogue recovery 1.1.2.
Okay wtf im able to flash cm7 all of a sudden. Brb, blowing load into sock, will report back later.
nvm, it freezes about 5 seconds after loading the home screen.

I've never used calks format all with anything ics related because I heard you don't want to format the data. also when you factory reset was that on el26?
I got yelled at for starting a new thread because this is the exact same problem that happened to me. I was in Calks ics rom, I had downloaded the new alpha build for CM9, and installed rom manager and clockwork and went into recovery and went to wipe everything and BOOM, froze, and then when I tried to restart it it got stuck on the galaxy s ii logo and kept cycling like yours did. I cant get into recovery, but can get into download mode.
So OP|, are we screwed? Did you find a way to fix er up? Cuz I haven't

Level27xrock,
To answer your question first, you're probably "hard" bricked. It's been posted many times that you'll be able to get into Download mode, ODIN *most* of the stock image and it will hang at data.img because a previous action that you did - suspected to be the CWM wipe operation but not definitively confirmed - caused a I/O problem within the embedded memory or eMMC. Please feel free to try this out on your own and verify the results for yourself - it seems that may be the only way of convincing you.
You can find out more in the thread linked above.
I hope you will read the threads more before you try again. Please start with the one that says "How Not To Brick Your E4GT" for example. You also missed the one that said ROM Manager is a no-no for the E4GT - believe it's in the Q&A forum.
If I read the earlier posts right, I believe something similar happened to my friend. He was on AOKP then tried to Odin FD05 and it wouldnt get past splash screen. He then went back to EG30 and ran that through Odin and it did work but if some ROMs effect Odin completely flashing and restoring a stock setup then we are going to have a new surge of problems
Edit..he did NOT wipe in ICS recovery either
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA
Hi all. I'm in a real pickle here and hoping someone can tell me how to get out of this mess. It's a bit of a long story, but I'll summarise as best I can.
I've had my Galaxy Note 2 LTE (N7105) for a year and I rooted it pretty much the day after I got it. I'm not new to rooting at all (fourth Android device since 2010, all rooted), but I still feel like a noob at times. Over this 2014 Easter period I had time off so I decided to change ROMs.
I was previously using CM 11, which I had been using pretty much since I rooted. And I had updated CM at least once a month, sometimes more frequently. So I was looking for some new ROMs, downloaded about 5 and tried them out. The last two I tried was OmniROM (a 4.4.2 ROM) and CM 11 Remix (also a 4.4.2 ROM). I was using TWRP 2.7.0.2 to do the wipes, caches, flashes, etc. I had no issues flashing OmniROM, but when I flashed CM 11 Remix, I couldn't get in the first time. I was stuck in a boot loop. I pulled the battery, got back into recovery and tried flashing again. Still boot looping. I think the mistake I made was a Data Format. Either way, I finally got CM 11 Remix to load by first wiping, flashing the ROM, GApps, a sensor fix, a camera fix, Devil Kernel and then Super SU. However once in the ROM I was getting constant Google Play Store / Services FCs. Oh, and yes, I went through the typical brand new Android setups, entering my Google account and so on... I found that if I cleared data / caches on both Google Play Store app and Google Play Services app, it gave me temporary joy but as soon as I tried to download any app in Google Play I'd get the FC. Also, my signal was totally gone. I tried flashing back to OmniROM as it was my last known good and working ROM, but now that was boot looping. I even tried some of the other ROMs from that bunch I had, including AOKP. All would boot loop.
So after much trying different GApp packages, I decided to best thing to do would be restore it to stock, root again, then go for the custom ROM (hopefully CM 11 Remix) from a nice clean slate. So I did this. I downloaded the Android 4.3 stock ROM from SamMobile here. Installed Odin 3.07, then loaded it up and flashed the stock ROM. All seemed to go great, but when the ROM was done and phone rebooted, I get stuck in another boot loop! This time at the white "Samsung" logo with the glowing blue edges. Not the model number screen. Also my LED light is on blue, if that means anything.
So I found this thread (post at top of page) which suggests I need to flash the PIT file during the stock ROM installation with Odin. So I found the PIT file here, and I'm ready to flash this along with the stock ROM... HOWEVER, I read something somewhere (can't find it now) that implied if I'm on Android 4.3, flashing a PIT is a bad move. Can anyone comment on that? I guessing since the stock ROM is 4.3, I'm technically on 4.3 (even though I can't get into it).
Or if anything else I'm doing immediately stands out as a seriously stupid move, please let me know. I've been without normal use of my phone for a couple days now and ironically I'm at the point where I'm considering going without a phone for the rest of my life... LOL! AS IF I COULD!
Anyways, any help will be much appreciated!
EDIT: I just realised I should have posted in Troubleshooting, not General Questions... If mods want to move this, please do.
i just suggest that you flash the stock odin without the pit and see if its working out or not. sometimes playing with pit files can screw up your device even more...
btw... next time you play flashing... i'm suggesting you make a backup of your working custom. its will save you lots of time if this kind of problem happen.

I had a problem with my device where I was stuck at boot loader as well, but it was from the rar file of the rom(cm 11) cause I tried downloading it again and it worked.
I suggest you prepare Odin and the stock firmware, wipe factory/cache dalvik, system (advanced), then flash stock firmware, to bring everything back to normal.

Hmmm, I'm not stuck at boot loader, just boot loop. Maybe you meant that?
To clarify, all I can do now is...
1. Boot normally and end up in a boot loop (at "Samsung" white logo with glowing blue edges).
2. Boot into Download mode and from there I can use Odin to flash / install.
3. Boot into stock recovery, which I've never used before (only ever used custom recovery).
I've prepped Odin again, ready to flash the stock firmware, but I've never done a wipe / factory reset with Odin. I don't see any Advanced settings? Did you mean I can do it elsewhere? Cos I see I can do wipes / factory reset from stock recovery.
So should I do that AND then go into Download mode and flash stock firmware with Odin?

ohhh my bad, I meant boot loop (stuck at samsung logo), mine was stuck there but then after it restarts and goes into recovery mode
do these following steps and you should be fine with your device.
1. Go into recovery mode
2. Wipe factory/reset
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe dalvik
5. Advance > format/system
Now you have no rom or any OS to load,
1. Power off the device
2. Open Odin on your PC(right click run as administrator)
3. power on your note in Download Mode
4. Connect your device to your PC via USB
5. odin should recognize your device, something blue like " ID" or something there, you should be familiar with that.
6. click PDA, and find the official stock firmware zip you got it from samsung website, and make sure it fits your device(for example if you have your note from italy you should have ITV)
7. Hit Start and it should finish in 5-10 minutes.
Its the cleanest way with Odin, I did some crap on my device and that's how I return it to normal.

All good! Cheers man!
I actually went ahead and booted into stock recovery and did the factory reset and partition wipe before I saw your post. And the stock firmware I'd flashed with Odin previously is now booting and I'm finally back in!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!
Just need to root this bad boy and get back to a nice shiny custom ROM.
Thanks for the advice everyone!

I have another hurdle... Some built in security is stopping SuperSU from running. It's not Knox, but something like it. I get this error message:

How can I disable this? I've searched on Google already but so far nothing is helping and I can mostly only find info about Knox...
EDIT: It was goddamn Knox all along... And I just disabled it by means of SuperSU. Finally!

Heh, yeah, all is well in my world once again!
The Note 2 is a great device man. I am sure you'll love it. The Note 3 looks great also, but I don't like the ribbed sides (I'm fussy) and last I read there's an eFuze that goes off once rooted or something along those lines. That's sh!t.

My case is the same case of Invertedskull. I already did all steps as you instructed. I wiped data/cache/system and flash a stock room 4.4.2 of Nordic Rom on SamMobile website.
After flashed, the looping still happens. When I put the charger, the looping stops and goes to the main screen normally. Sometimes, it suddenly restarts but not frequently.
OMG! How to stop it. Pls help me.
My Note 2 is N7105 LTE - Optus (Australia)

If you have access to anything, and don't get JUST the boot loop, then you DO NOT have the same case I was in. You are probably able to recover from this. Try posting on the Tf Forums. The guys over there are "specialists" in Asus Tf tablets, and as you'll see on this thread (http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...-boot-loop-after-doing-routine-cm-update.html), they gave me a lot of help. Not that I was able to recover, but they were awesome dudes.

mroldman281, You didn't post again, so I don't know, If You found solution, but since I had same simptoms, and after four days of reinstalling different stock roms, wiping and even messing with PIT via Odin etc..I can say, that in my case the reason for boot loop was faulty battery. The phone worked when it was plugged in and restarted soon after i unplugged USB cable, and just lopped afterwards. Replacement battery put everything back in order. And I am one happy Camper!
Hope this info helps someone else with boot loop problem
same problem stuck in bootloop
hey guys i have the same problem bootloop all the time i tryied stock firmware but nothing happend avec i rooted my note 2 and intalled a costom recovery and a many roms but stuck in bootloop i didn't chage baterry , by the way i wiped cache and reset factory and clear dalvick cache but the same always bootloop
what u suggest i do
ps : i can acces to bootloader or download mode it charge normally
woow get back my note 2 lte alone
hey guys i get back my note 2 i don't know how but it was a succes :victory:
first : i tried so many afficial firmware 4.4.2 and costom roms but didn't change the problem of bootloop
then i remembred what version i was in it was 4.1.1 so i download it from sammobiles thenks to them flash it and boooom the note 2 lte start like a charm
i want to thanks everyone for their help even if they didn't help directly but this past 3 days i read almost all the threads about note 2
well i thinks one of the selutions here is to revert back the the original stock firmware like i did so maybe will fix the bootloop
Hi all, pretty much a phone noob hoping to get some help. I'm probably gonna write a book but I want to provide as much info as possible...
My D710 had been working fine running rooted GB27. I decided to flash the "Not Now" rom. Seemed simple enough and very straightforward...
After flashing I got stuck in a boot loop. Read up on how to get out of boot loop and reflashed selecting wipe and Fix Permissions.
No help, still boot loop.
Went back to recovery mode and I have stock recovery instead of AGAT. The little android dude is laying on his back with a red triangle coming out of his gut.
After ****ing around some I decided to try wipe/factory reset.
Phone booted! YAY! The Not Now rom is installed (I guess). Phone looks different but most of my apps come back and the phone works (Calls, text, apps run) It seems a little flakey though and the whole thing feels pretty sketchy given how I got here.
I decide I should really flash back to stock and then see what I want to do from there. and now the fun begins:
I can't get into Odin mode
I can't get my computer to see the phone as a storage device. The drivers load and 2 new removable drives show up but neither is accessible.
From the Shut Down menu I have an option for Boot Loader. I selected it and it looks like it's in Odin Mode but Odin doesn't see the phone.
So I have a functioning phone that seems shaky. I'd really like to load a stock ROM again and get it more stable. I'd appreciate if anyone has advice about how I can fix the USB issue (buy a new phone?)
Thanks
John

You need to check "USB Debugging" in the setting mode. I am not on TW so I can't tell you the exact spot. Once that is selected, It should be good to go. You need a custom recovery. I would suggest Philz recovery or AGATs. You will need to wipe data, cache, dalvik.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I did manage to restore a backup so I'm back where I started (rooted GB27) prior to screwing around with Not Now.
I'm considering trying to go to Villuminati by following these steps:

I've got AGAT recovery loaded now so I think that I can skip the first couple of steps...

I don't have the specific locations, but you could do this a simpler way. You need to have these files on SD card.
1. Flash Philz recovery for D710 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2652286
2. Wipe Cache, Dalvik
3. "install" new ROM.
4. Flash Gapps
You should keep Philz on your SD card. It is the easiest way to flash ANY 4.4 ROM. If you want to use the ART, go to developer options and scroll all the way down. Select ART, let the phone reboot. Once it reboots, turn it off for about 1 minute. Turn it back on. You can not use ART with Xposed. They do not like each other. DO NOT USE PHILZ TO MAKE A BACKUP!. Use the recovery that came with the ROM. Only use Philz to flash. Let me know what happens. Before you do anything, make a backup first.
Thanks. I may give this a try tonight.
Thanks for your help.
I've got Viluminati running! Amazing as I was pretty sure I had bricked my phone a few days ago
For some reason my phone isn't booting up all the way to the rom/OS. It gets stuck on the boot animation and goes on forever and hasn't been able to boot up since yesterday, when my powered off at 20% battery, which is something normal for my phone. I was rooted and on android 4.3/MK4, but when I put it to charge and tried booting it back up, the phone would boot up, but would get stuck on the boot animation, going on forever. It wouldn't freeze it would just continue to play the animation. I tried removing the battery, factory wiping it, and installing a new rom, which I found out was for a different baseband. When i finished installing it it still wouldn't boot up all the way through.:crying: I then tried installing the previous rom, and still no good. After all that I installed a stock firmware using odin, hoping it would work. I installed the 4.4.2 NE2 firmware, which isn't for my phone but watching zedomax's video, he said to download the latest build date, which is what I did. Well, downloaded it and flashed it through Odin with a PASS and everything going good. Although, when it was rebooting-even after a factory and cache wipe-it still wouldn't boot up. I tried installing other firmwares aswell, but still no luck. I'm just waiting for it to finally boot up, so if anyone can help me out, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT, otherwise, anything is going to help at this point. Since I flashed the firmware, I now have a stock recovery and rom(I hope). I've been through these types of situations, but not to this point.. :crying:
It seems odds, but you may want to try a new battery. I recently went through a total disaster with my device and it ultimately was the battery. You may want to try booting with it connected to the a/c wall charger. It may give you an indication.
Have you tried the quick fix posted? My phone did the same thing when i had the stock recovery it showed error mounting efs folder. I noticed after installing clockwork that error didnt show up. It was still the same problem though. Wouldnt hurt to check it out. I got my note two from a friend who described the issue starting the same way you said happend to yours. The phone had never been rooted though. Good luck to you in trying to fix it.
