Stuck on black Galaxy note 2 screen - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Someone please help me. I tried to flash the unroot back to stock through twrp as ma5 wasn't working all that well for me and i wanted to start from scratch unrooted and get the sprint ova for the ma7.
So i flashed the file and it said that it was successful. It even went to the special recovery like it was supposed to before rebooting. Now we get to the problem. The phone wont reboot. It just stays on the first black galaxy note 2 screen. Is there anything i can do to fix this? Someone please help me.

U coukd try and flash another rom or use odin to flash a stock rom.

I tried both of those already. It acts like everything flashes ok but then when it reboots, it stays on the black note 2 screen

You can try flashing twrp through odin and make sure auto reboot is not checked
Then reboot into recovery and flash a rom.
Unless you can reboot into recivery, cause if you can then this is pointless.

I had to order a new phone through Sprint. Luckily it was so screed up they couldn't tell whether it was rooted or not. Which is double good because I also had a broken secure element

I bricked my phone somehow and i need expert help please.

This was in the course of over 20 days.Ok, i was stock rooted, then i flashed CWM, then i flashed AOKP Rom, everything was going smooth. Then i flashed an update to AOKP Rom, then my Data started acting up. Then i flashed Sammy Kernel that goes with AOKP Rom, My data was still acting up. I suspected a corrupt IMEI, so i figured i flash back to stock through odin using stock ATT Images, and try to recover my IMEI. So i flashed Stock ATT image through Odin, but now my phone wont go past the samsung logo. It loads the ATT boot animation, then stays stuck on the samsung logo. Help please.
The expert help you need is to do a full reflash of the phone in ODIN.
When you flashed stock did you also flash the kernel? Might pose an issue

Try flashing the Sammy kernel in cwm. That should fix you up.

Relax its not bricked. Boot into the Samsung recovery the same way you do it to get into cmw and clear cache. It will boot.

I tried and same thing it passes in Odin and then when rebooting it gets hung up on the black screen with the white "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen.
Please help I dont know what else to do or what else to try?
I didnt remove the md5 off of the file like one person said to do mainly because im not sure how to but other than that I am lost
Is there something i was supposed to do with the dll file that came with it as well? I mean i have to be doing something wrong i just dont understand why its saying pass but is still hanging up at that galaxy s3 screen right after the samsung screen?
I am so in need of help
I too am having the same issue, and I have tried all the stock ODIN roms.
I am stuck on the samsung screen too. Any one have any ideas? I just tried to flash CM10 today, when I have been on CM9 since the beginning of July, so... long story short I could not get back to CWM after CM10 boot looped me.
Any help?
Thanks!

When you download either one..its a zip file. I used 7zip to extract the tar file and used ODIN to flash it. So I'm lost when you say you changed the file name. Shouldnt have to do that.

No I know I did the same exact thing. Someone else said that he deleted the md5 extension at the end after the tar to get it to work I have done it both ways doesn't make a difference. I can still get to Odin mode as well as stock recovery just can't boot...

If 3e is the factory recovery i have already tried that multiple times.
Maybe something didn't flash properly through Odin. Sucks to say but redownload the stock file.

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I FIXED IT....
OK if anyone else runs into this what i did was change two things and one of the two worked. FIrst of all I had been using the newest Odin 3.0.7 I downloaded Odin 3.0.4 instead and tried that. The other thing was I used the older Samsung ATT Image which was the i747UCALEM image rather than the newest one.
I noticed right off the bat in Odin it said PASS in green as soon as it was done where as before it would reboot the phone before saying PASS. So I watched my phone reboot and get pass that darn Galaxy screen and about laid a flipping GOLDEN egg! LOL

Nice man. Congrats. I still use Odin 1.85 lol ..

HAHA, i hear ya bro I am thinking more or less thats what it was.
Can anyone explain to me why the OP was having problems, now that the solution has been identified?
I'd like to understand issues like this before flashing myself.
Thanks.
He was using a newer version of ODIN (3.0.7)...so he tried an older version (3.0.4) and it worked.

[Q] Phone stuck in boot loop please help!

I was trying to flash Dagr8's ROM and I wiped my data in TWRP and my phone just boot loops now. I can get into recovery and wipe/flash to my heart's content, but the result is always the same. The phone just boot loops between the samsung logos. Is there anything I can do through ODIN or anything else to fix this?
You need to flash a bootchain. Preferably a custom bootchain.

I too am having this problem on my t-mobile note 2, tried flashing different roms, kernels, wiping everything, flashing with odin, any advice would help. I dont know anything about boot chains, been a flash a holic for many years, and normally if I have a boot loop problem, I just flash a different rom, but no luck with this one.
Try removing the battery, then go into recovery.

Bricked My Note 2 via Brain Fart

So here's what happened - I installed digitalblur but forgot to install the 4.3 bootloader prior to flashing digitalblur. ROM flashed fine and went thru setup of rom and then as I always do after setup I like to reboot the phone. But it wouldn't reboot, all it would do is continue to boot loop at the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen. Now I can't get into recovery. Anyone have any ideas of what I can do to fix this issue?

If you can get into download mode, you should be able to Odin back to stock.

[Q] Bricked note 2 sgh-i317

Okay so i bought a samsung Galaxy note 2 on craigslist(not a good idea) and what the seller told me is that it was unlocked. well i got the phone and put my Tmobile sim card and it worked. i tried to do a system update which i kept getting a reminder for and my phone is now stuck on the opening samsung galaxy note 2 sign. well i took it to the cell phone repair places we have around here and none of them could fix it. apparently the guy rooted the phone to unlock it but the phone doesnt have a custom recovery. it can boot to download mode but thats about it. if anyone knows how to fix this i would greatly appreciate your help.
Not bricked. ..
Boot to recovery using the 3 button combination and factory reset the phone. ..then reboot. .
If the device sticks on the splash screen again. ..you'll need to push a new image via Odin. .
But the phone is far from bricked. ..it's just mad...g

Is the phone stolen? Might have been SIM locked.
I would try flashing a stock ROM onto it via Odin. If that fails you probably bought a HOT phone. Or it has hardware damage.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
It was unlocked when I got it... it had a custom rom on it and when I tried to do the update it made the phone do what's it doing now.. so what option am I left with? I already tried stock rom and nothing :/
Sent from my LG-P659 using xda app-developers app
So you have flashed a custom recovery? I can see that you said it did not have a custom recovery on it (but had a custom ROM?). If you haven't flashed the recovery and have not followed the flash to stock instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844), then do so (be as specific as possible on the steps you've taken since it seems you might be a beginner at this by trying to update OTA a rooted device).
happened to me too. pull the battery. hold vol up and power and home and then insert battery. Keep holding till the 2nd time it reboots and you see the logo then let go of the buttons. This should put you into recovery. Wipe cache and wipe phone then reboot.
This worked for me, hope it works for you.
Trying to get into recovery mode doesn't work... I am a begginer at this. I tried pulling the battery out and doing the up home and power combo but that does not work.
