All mode cannot access(download ,fastmode or recovery mode).Pop up "bricked screen".Is anything else same as galaxy S using 301K resistor to activate phone to download mode??
How did you manage to do that?

Oh god.
I've not tried it on this device, but on SGS devices, we would take the battery out, hold down volume, and then plug in usb...
It would get us into Download/Odin Mode every time.

you do know that the thing you flashed is in the "CDMA" forums? hence, the thing in RED
*** WARNINGS AND NOTICES ***
** Flashing this will wipe ALL userdata and your sdcard partition!! Make a BACKUP AND COPY IT OFF OF YOUR PHONE!!!
** It will bring your device back to stock running Android 4.0.2 Build ICL53F with EK05 CDMA and EK02 LTE radios.
** It WILL NOT relock the boot loader. You must relock your bootloader after flashing this ODIN to be 100% factory

yeap, as since this is using odin, most likely different pit file as different internal storage size among other things.
plus wrong radio doesn't sound all that great either.

Hi,
I have GNex for about 2 months now so I decided to root it. I did it ok and everything worked fine. But than
I decided to install custom kernel so I did it. Well after that I cant boot my Nexus, its stuck at its first boot animation
with white Google in a middle and little lock in a bottom. Only thing I can do is go to bootloader and acces recovery mod.
I tried to do pretty much everything in a recovery menu but its still not booting.
What can I do to restore stock rom with stock kernel or I dont know what can helps here. Pleas I will be realy greatful I am
a little bit noob to this
Reflash your ROM if you have any on your SD card. Also you can use a toolkit and flash the factory image.

My internal storage is empty, no ROMs or any factory images on it.
toolkit is a good idea but I dont have turned on USB debugging, isnt that problem?
But I will try
I don't think it matters if you are flashing the stock image. You can also Odin in a worst case scenario thing.

I understand the hatred for toolkits because it causes complacency but its extremely easy to fix a device using it. Everyone should know how to use adb but I have used both and they both have worked perfectly for me.

im sorry, but if you think typing a few commands in to flash the stock images is hard, you really are lazy.
I never said it was hard. What is your major grief with toolkits? How is using a toolkit any different than flashing someone else's ROM? You can compile it yourself but its much more efficient to just flash and go. This will be my last response unless the OP has any more issues he needs help with. Good luck with fixing your phone no matter what method you would like to use.

because when the toolkit fails, it fails hard and then the user of said toolkit has no idea how to fix anything and posts threads on here saying "i bricked my phone and used such and such toolkit"
the people helping them have no idea where to even begin to try and troubleshoot the problem as you dont know the failure point. the toolkit just says "complete" or "done"
that is my major beef with toolkits.

Are you trying to brick it? Usually the only way the phone will brick is if you flash a wrong rom on it like a rom meant for another phone or a kernel not meant for the phone.
A ROM can't brick you. It's the kernel that bricks you. If you want to try, flash a ROM from another phone and then flash a kernel for the Hercules and see what happens (bootloop on Samsung logo).

I hard bricked after flashing AOKP build 3 through CWM 6.0.2.7 a couple weeks ago. I hadn't had any problems with that recovery or my flashing procedure before (nandroid backup, wipe cache, format /system & /data, wipe /dalvik, flash ROM, flash gapps), but I must've goofed somewhere.

I don't think he's trying to find out how to brick, but more like trying to find out how to avoid bricking. I know I was nervous and took a week to psych myself up just to root my device after getting it since I had no idea how exactly one would brick a device. I just knew it was a possibility and didn't want that, lol.
if you do a odin flash and the phone gets disconnected before its finished flashing the important files like the sbl, zimage, or modem thats a definite way to hard brick! (happened to me when i had a vibrant)

Wait even if you flash a ROM from another phone doesn't it include the kernel leading to a brick?

HELP!! I think i bricked my AT&T Canadian Note 2 with 16gb rooted with stock rom and stock kernel
SO i was playing dead trigger and wanted to gave tegra 3 optimizations so i downloaded Chainfire 3D from the play store and i installed the drivers and it rebooted my note 2, but it's stuck at the Galaxy Note 2 logo!! I can still use vol up+home+power and vol down+home+power, i tried factory reset in CWM, still stuck, tried flashing new rom (CM, AOKP) still stuck, so now i just want my phone back up and running again. Anyone know how to fix it problem? I don't need any apps or data back or root back, just back up and running again. Oh and charging still shows the battery picture, and i can still turn off my phone.

Why do so many people on xda have such a hard time understanding what "bricked" means.
If you can easily fix it, then it isn't "bricked"
It's bricked if it has to go for jtag
If you read the description for chainfire 3d, it distinctly says "not compatible with ICS/Jellybean" so theres your problem why u have troubles... a factory reset might not be the fix. ODIN may be the only way.

Yeah it's because they can't get the phone to come back on. So that's why they think it's bricked. Plus it's the only word they know and heard of. There's also soft brick, stuck in a loop, etc. But most of the time when the phone stops working correctly, most thinks it's bricked! Lol

For me, even "soft brick" is a stupid term..
A phone is either bricked or not bricked. If it is bricked, there is no fixing it imo (other than jtag)
Odin will fix this, this happened to my S2 while I'm on JB. Just download the latest odin, and the stock rom of your Note 2, probably you can find the rom on sammobile, google will help you out, PM me if you need any assistance. Just relax, it's not broken.

Ok so I need 4.1.2 of Jellybean, I still don't know what Odin is though
Anyways, i tried factory reset too and it seems like nothing happened
Hey All,
Just got a friends Nexus and it was last used with 4.1.2 jellybean, I tried updating via OTA in settings but there is no update there and says my phone is up to date. I'd like at least 4.2.2 although 4.3 would do well
I've tried using methods of clearing data from the Google framework but that did not work.
Also I have only just installed everything i want on it as i had to factory reset.
Any help?
Thanks in advance

and to add to this, to find all relevant info on your build I believe you can find it in bottom left when you boot into fastboot/bootloader
which is done by holding both volume buttons and power button down all at the same time
I'm not this bad with technology but am new to this device aha
I think I may have screwed up pretty majorly,
I rooted and installed cwm as usual and tried flashing updates but that didn't work
Then I decided that I would install a custom ROM on it which I wasn't going to, so now I'm stuck as I wiped data and tried flashing both pa and slim but both failed, I assume this is because of an older version of cwm which was used because it was needed to flash the updates.
So now I am stuck without an os and when I boot it just goes through the Google logo twice then goes to cwm.
What is suggested for these situations aha? Thanks

Just use adb sideload. Saved my ass a couple of times too.
Thanks but I found a really good method on XDA because I believe it was soft bricked. I used Odin to flash stock 4.2.2 and that got rid of root and custom recovery. Once that was done I then updated to 4.3 in the settings via ota
Thank you for all you help
I have no idea about any of this adb sideload stuff so I'll learn about it before I screw up next time aha
