Hi,
I rooted my phone using my mac based on this guide: http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-on-mac-osx/
There was a "success" prompt but I couldnt get into CWM or the android system recovery. Whenever i try to restart in CWM or the ASR ( Volume up + home + start ) my screen goes completely mad, writing samsung galaxy note 2 all over the screen and freezing.
And it keeps going as long as i press the buttons. I feel the phone tries to restart but it can’t and stay on this mad screen. I checked on the "about" section on my phone and tried updating on air but get the prompt that my device has been modified and software updates are not available." Can anyone help me?
Please check the thread where you ask first time. I linked you working CWM 6.0.1.5 which solves this problem
Thank you very much for your reply tuxxperia. Sorry to ask, but I cant seem to find the link
Try TWRP! It's pretty good as well. I had the same problem as yours with cwm as well.

First of all, i would like to thank all of xda-dev people.
With all you guys' help, I was enable to rooted my g1.
right now, my g1 has rc33 and i believe i used jf.1.42...but not quite sure..
(it says kila-user 1.1 plat-rc33 126986 under builder #...don't know if it helps..)
Now that there are quite alot of apps that I cannot download without the cupcake 1.5 update, I was trying to download the cupcake1.5
I changed the name to 'update.zip' then powered off my g1 then pressed home+power keys to go to recovery mode, but it keep goes to bootloader screen instead (three android with skateboards...)
I tried green+power+menu buttons to reboot several times, but no luck.
I even tried opening up the terminal and the command 'reboot recovery'
I am not sure what's wrong with my g1....
but if i just boot up normally, there is no problem at all and works fine.
it just won't let me go to recovery mode.
So here are my questions...
1. is there way to go to recovery screen from bootloader screen?
2. is there way to perform manual cupcake1.5 update from bootloader screen?
3. or...if i wait, will i get the OTA cupcake1.5 update? (read somewhere saying..it's disabled if it's rooted?...not sure...)
and lastly...
4. why is my g1 won't letting me go into recovery mode?
Really really thank you in advance.
So I looked in the bricked section and the bootup sections and couldn't find my answer. I am sure it is somewhere but my search didn't turn it up. I have been using the sprint SII for about 8 months now, no real problems. I rooted it and flashed over using Odin an older version of Calkin's EG4T rom, it worked fine, I updated it about 3 months ago to the newest version (honestly I forget which but it was right before ICS started coming out). Today I come home from work and find my phone black screen off when I hadn't turned it off. I try and turn it on and nothing. So I pop out the battery and restart it, it loads up but everytime I try something it comes up with provider error and crashes the program, even when calling. So I boot into recovery and delete the cache and try again, same problem. Try to reinstall using recovery from the old update.zip file, it goes through but now it only boots into recovery, no booting into a new ROM at all. I check to see if I can still enter the download option and I can but I haven't gotten the newest tar file to push from odin so I quit. I try one last time to use android commander to copy over a new ROM, it appears to copy and I try the install and it claims it completed and now my phone only boots to the Samsung Galaxy SII screen. It won't go any further, I can't enter recovery OR download screen. I have tried leaving the battery out for 5 minutes and still stuck at the same screen. I can reboot from the screen but nothing else. Odin is unable to push the newest rom onto the system. Anyone who has any ideas I welcome it as I really do need this phone tomorrow.
thanks and I do hope I didn't miss an obvious thread covering this exact problem, but I do not believe i did.
you say you can't get into recovery or download, but also say that odin won't push newest rom onto system. Are you sure you're holding right buttons to get into download mode? (power+vol dwn, then volume up once the screen comes up to bootloader)
Well update, still fun. I pulled the battery for 10 minutes and now am able to get to the download screen (I was clicking for it correctly before I swear), and I pushed the newest Calkin's rom and it went through. But I am still stuck on load at the samsung screen. And what is even more fun is it won't actually turn off. I hold the power button for power off and it just restarts the sucker. I am going to try and push the stock rom next. Any other ideas?
thanks
If you can't get into download you're bricked. What update.zip did you flash? Usually that only works if you flash an authentic sprint/Samsung update or created a signed update.zip on your own. Also, did you flash it from stock recovery or clockwork mod?

I did the update through cwm just as I had done previously so I figured it would work, but it seems I figured wrong
I am now able to get back into CWM but still unable to actually load past the samsung screen (yes I have left it going for a while), any ideas? Also trying to determine which specific kernal is the newest stock kernol for the sprint s II, any links? I am seeing lots of modified but nothing stock (in tar format).
thanks
edit- When I access the phone through android commander (it finds it) the folders it shows as being on the phone are all incorrect. Some of the titles are correct but the actual files within are missing or it is claiming the folders were made in 2000. I know I have not wiped the SD card as I can see it via cwm but can't seem to edit it on commander.
Also I am unable to actually view the phone when in cwm through android, only finding it in commander when it is stuck in the loading samsung screen
Final edit:
Finally got a stock one click to fully complete through Odin! back to stock, now to reroot and get my old stock on there
Oh yes, theres a lot of threads on forum about it, but i sort a lot of them and any tissue was unable to fix my phone.
Theres my problem:
I was updating CWM to 6 version from 5 so i gone to recovery mode and install zip from sdcard>
choose right file (it was in download folder)>
i restarted my phone in recovery mode>
then it stuck in samsung logo>
after minute it restarted and stuck again in the logo>
after some time it even dont show the samsung logo just black screen!
Now i can go only in downloading mode and nothing more.
Then i got afraid a bit cause i neved had such a problem so i started to search for a tissue for that. I tried odin but it was unable to find my device, oneclick unbrick as well. Battery was full when i was updating CWM.
My ROM is [CM10.1.6] - modded - [stable-20131202] - Winter release - OTA
Kernel: MA6 Kernel
Recovery: I dont know now
Sorry for bad english

Can you talk to your phone using the Android Development Toolkit? (That is, via adb and fastboot commands?) If so, you could try flashing a new recovery image. Good luck!

Try this:
Remove Battery, remove SD card
Attach your phone to PC via USB cable, without battery inserted
Open ODIN and now the work begins.
Hold the respective keys to get into Download Mode. Then while holding them insert battery.
It'll get recognized on ODIN
Post result, W8ing.......
Re:
I gave my phone to service because i had a guarantee on it. If they wont repair it. I will try you advices.
Thanks for help anyway.
They will definitely fix it, i had mine fixed up with same problem (Stuck on Boot Logo, Couldn't access recovery, just download mode)
Hi all my name is Blake and I'm a noob. (Sigh) thanks in advance for answering my stupid questions and being the awesome intelligent human bada$$es you are and helping teach me to better understand and operate my phone! So I rooted my phone a while back (4.3) or at least attempted it but I think Knox or something along those lines was preventing the process from completing so I had a friend help me out to complete the root so I'm still not 100% on how to do this. So I want to upgrade to 4.4 assuming it's better but more importantly my phone has a lot of quirks and bugs that annoy the living crap out of me and I won't waste u r time listing them unless you need me to and I'm hoping updating will solve some of them and if not I'll be back to forum surfing... anyways I'm rooted and need to know how to get to where I can get the ota update and then root it or however would be easiest to get the update and back to being rooted? I tried reading and understanding the existing threads but I'm still learning the terminology and i couldn't quite understand the ones i could find. Also this is probably a stupid question but is there an app or anything that will magically go through my phone and fix any stupid bugs and stuff!
Also to show my appreciation if u guys have like a YouTube channel i can like and subscribe to or anything i can do to show my appreciation I'd be glad to do so just send me a link thanks again you're my hero!

I know you wanted a video I don't have all of the equipment to do so .. this is just a lot of words but simple easy steps.
Best possible solution for you if you really wanted the 4.4 update (nothing really has changed except the basic updates (firmware/modem)
... nothing noticeable except when you click on About Phone lol and you see 4.4.2 and the description of your system. That's really it.
But if you really want to give it a try the best solution for you is:
1 ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR PHONE!
This WILL BE UNROOTED BUT WILL GIVE THE OPTION TO BE ROOTED IF YOU WOULD LIKE
2 Download Odin if you haven't already and download the .tar file for 4.4.2 (the OTA Update)
When you extracted everything and opened Odin make sure Auto Reboot and F Reset Time is the ONLY ones checked.
3 Put the .tar file in PDA on Odin and put your phone in download mode (home, vol down, and power) when it comes up press vol up and it will show downloading .. it may show NOT RESPONDING give it a minute it usually will load up
Attach the usb cable from computer to phone once it registers it (will say added) click start. let it finish and you will have a complete wipe of 4.4.2 STOCK ROM --- UNROOTED!
FOLLOW THESE STEPS (COLOR MATCH) TO BE ROOTED ..... 4.4.2 ROOTED OR 4.3 ROOTED
-THIS IS THE START FOR BOTH --
1 Download your custom recovery (Philz or TWRP) ... I use Philz it's simple and and does everything for you to make sure it goes through.
2 Open Odin once more (same checked) turn your phone off wait for the vibration to indicate it is completely off then put it in download mode.
3 Place your recovery in PDA then attach phone and click start.
It will reboot just turn phone off and enter recovery mode (home, vol UP, and power). If the recovery doesn't show (sometimes it won't due to knox again) Then try again this way:
Phone off, place recovery in PDA, attach phone, and UNCLICK Auto-Reboot and push start. It will show downloading wait for Odin to show pass then boot in recovery from the screen you are on by just pushing home vol up and power. It should load that time.
Once it's loaded...
FOR 4.4.2 - ROOTED
3. Factory reset/clean to install new rom ...
DO NOT wipe cache just simply factory reset ..wait.. done ... clean to install new rom .. wait .. done.
If you do you will get a Status 7 or an error message.
4. Flash rom
5. Reboot
-It may ask you if you want to disable custom recovery make sure you hit NO!
You will need to update SU on playstore. And you should be good to go (had problems the first few times).
FOR 4.3 - ROOTED
DO NOT TRY FLASHING .TAR THROUGH ODIN. It will fail everytime because you can not downgrade firmware through it.
1. You will need to go back to stock unrooted with this HERE (MC2 Download only)
2 Make sure you have the MC2 Download -- or you will receive a Status 7 .. which means you don't have the right rom to update from.
3 Once you're on the MC2 firmware I believe it is the 4.2 version.
4 Turn off phone, enter recovery mode and flash this MC2 to Mk4 Rooted (NEED TO HAVE MC2 first!)
5 Reboot - if it asks to disable custom recovery make sure you press NO or it will unroot it at start up.

Galaxy tab 3 gt-p5210 (white 10'1") wifi welcome screen only after using ODIN to root
Please help me. My knowledge is severely limited and i do not understand a lot of the terminology used here. I downloaded a file called ODIN and followed the instructions carefully to root my galaxy tab 3. Eventually it came up as "Passed" on the computer screen. "Yes"! i thought "I've rooted it". However after unplugging it from the computer my tablet is stuck on the welcome screen which simply states "GALAXY TAB III...
I have tried many remedies most of which i don't understand. The only thing that i can get the device to do is if i press power and volume -. This gives me an option to press volume + which takes me to the screen used in order to instal software onto the device. It says in the top right corner:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-P5210
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
in the centre of the screen is an android with the words "DOWNLOADING...DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET" obviously there is nothing dowloading. I have tried redoing the ODIN procedure but still it remains stuck on the welcome screen,.
I have read about recovery mode but there is no recovery mode i can access on this device. The only functions are the 2 screens explained above. I have not messed about with anything i shouldn't have. I just followed the instructions which worked but have left my device stuck on the welcome screen. From what i've read it appears that this is called stuck in boot or boot loader. I would be very grateful if someone can take me through what i need to do to remedy the problem so that i can get my tablet working again, preferably rooted, however even putting it back to normal will do until i learn more about this stuff.
Please someone help me with this. I really need the tablet.. I would be extremely grateful and would learn in the process. Fingers crossed. Craig.

You definetly need to use Odin and flash a custom recovery like TWRP (preferebly). That's your first step so that you can restore your tablet, If you're having issues.

Could you elaborate on how one would do this? I think I'm having the exact same problem. Also, I can't seem to download any TWRP files, it gets blocked by my anti-virus.
Thanks
You flash twrp with odin as well. Boot the phone into download mode. Load twrp into the pda slot of odin and make sure repartition is not checked. Then hit start. Once finished you access recovery by holding vol+, home, and power until you see the tab3 splash, then release power but keep the other 2 buttons held in until it boots to twrp.
You may need to turn off your antivirus if it is blocking twrp downloads...
