I'm looked everywhere but nothing. Please help if you can.
I was on BeastMOD2.5 then some things on the phone were not working (Tmobile S2) so I called in and they shipped me a replacement. I used this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323878) to restore it back to stock and unroot the phone and it worked besides one problem, I still got the synergy kernel gray screen at bootup, so as of now, i'm at stock, unrooted just with that synergy kernel screen. I looked it up and found the ODIN stock way to get it back so I tried that way, but now everytime I hook the USB to my computer to try to ODIN it, it always says USB not recognized (I've tried searching for fixes: clean USB, reinstall drivers, reinstall Klies, other computers, other USB cord, other USB ports but nothing).
I just need to get that synergy kernel screen off from bootup, but now that I cannot hook up the phone to any computer, what should I do? Is there a wireless option I have? Is there a way to brick the phone to where it won't even boot up when tmobile gets it back that they wouldn't even know? thing is it will also charge using a computer, but the computer won't recognize it (im done the whole settings USB options as well)
Please help, thanks guys.
any ideas?

does it recognize it in adb if usb debugging is enabled?
Did you try pulling the battery for 30 seconds?

I've tried that and i've tried this on 4 PC's and my usual Mac that I use to transfer files but no luck.
I also tried the debugging mode but nothing as well. Ill try for a couple more days with random things but since the rom is stock and everything is basically like out the box status if I were to return it with the synergy kernel screen on bootup, what would tmobile say even though everything is stock even the kernel?
Hey Buddy, there had been a few of us that has had the same problem.
For some reason, after you restored your phone back to stock, you still have the Synergy Logo when turn on and you lose your USB drivers, somehow, I don't know why. I tried so many ways for my computer to locate my phone, but after so many hours of looking, I gave up. Sold my phone to my friend and got another one.
Lesson learn. Someone should look into a solution for this problem
Thanks.

This is good to know for anyone that is looking to restore phone back to stock.
So I'm guessing people should install stock kernel first via Odin and then flash stock rom/recovery.
Maybe this will take care of Synergy logo.
What steps did you take?

+1 From the posts Ive read the people that have had this issue have used the zedomax flash. Safest bet for anyone looking to go back to stock should stick with the odin method. I think there should be a warning in the index thread next to the [HOWTO] [ROM] How to Unroot SGH-T989 Painlessly link about the usb issue and also the kernel boot image even thou if people would just read the whole thread they would see that others have already reported the kernel image issue......
Returning the phone with that would land you an out if warranty fee

If you flash this stock kernel zip before you flash the easiest unroot method ever it will give you stock kernel and remove any custom kernel logo.

yeah but is was too late to know that, so there's no way we can use the samsung recovery mode with the install from SD option?
Is your recovery stock. ? If its not you can always put it your sd card and flash it that way.

so I was installing a new boatloader through odin and it failed to install; so I disconnected it. Ever since then, my computer simply will NOT recognize my phone. I have tried every possible method (using different slots and cable). Still, it will not recognize my phone at all.
Has anyone here ever encountered a similar situation and have found a solution?
I would highly appreciate any help. Thanks
What does the phone boot to?
Have you tried a USB jig?
The bootloader takes seconds to flash. Did you really press start and immediatly pull the USB cord? or did it not complete then you pulled the cord? If the latter, what did ODIN say in the logs?
I can get into odin or recovery mode with no problem, I loaded a custom testing version of an ICS Rom that failed to completely install.
I am waiting for my usb jig to come in the mail.
It installed like 80% and then said failed, then I removed it because it said it failed.
I know all my drivers are good because my sister has the same phone and it is unrooted and odin recognizes it fine.

If you can get into Odin mode then Odin should be able to recognize your phone. Are you sure that Odin on your PC is not recognizing your phone?
Also, try flashing the el26 stock rooted update through cwm. Calk has the appropriate zip over in the dev section.

Where did you find a boatloader for our phones?!?!?!? That would be a truly Epic accessory for all boatloading enthusiasts! Think of the activities!
Haha, in all seriousness though, I hope you can get it figured out man, bricked phones are no fun!
yes, im 100% sure, Ive read of a few cases of people having similar problem. Problem that come from disconnecting a phone while loading a new boatloader. Once that happens, odin will not recognize a phone even if it is in Odin mode. Ive spent atleast 15 hours in total trying to get it to work

Is this one made for E4GT or one for the european GS2?
If you can get into recovery just take the sd card out and put it in a sd reader and put a rom on there and flash it. I would use the stock rom. Something simillar happened to me and this is how I fixed it. I didnt have a card reader so I just used my digital camera, Thank god for that!!! Hope it all works out.

Good question! I almost bricked my phone by putting a rom on there that was for the international version! You need to triple check to make sure what you are putting on is actually for your phone!

Your problem isn't that you disconnected the phone while flashing a new bootloader.
Your problem is you flashed the european GS2 version of the bootloader. After doing that the USB port is pretty much disabled and nobody has found how to enable it.
interesting... any theoretical methods to get it to work? do you think there will be a solution to fix it?

Nothing should be flashed to the Epic Touch unless its in the development section for the Epic Touch. Even then you should read up and know the pros and cons of flashing it. I don't recall anyone getting their phone back after doing this.

Well Mobile ODIN won't flash the bootloader AFAIK, so if you have no way to flash the bootloader, the only other possibility will probably be JTAG, which is basically opening up the phone connecting to some pins/leads on the board and using some software to flash. I haven't seem anyone posting about this but probably there are techs who have the proper setup to do it.
damn, do you think if I go to a sprint corporate store and just say I was trying to update the phone via samsung kies OTA or something, will they be able to fix it? I am waiting for my jig to come in the mail to clear the download count, any opinions what I should tell sprint to avoid getting my warrenty voided?

Ya because like everyone else said flashing that file that wasnt for your phone messed up the sd reader. Same thing happened to me once but I was still able to acess the internal storage that the phone has built in but i didnt have any roms on there. I was however able to flash through odin and dowload mode. Thank god that worked for me! If that isnt working for you I gotta be honest I really dont see a way to get the phone back up and running but I am by no means a pro. I would keep at it. When I almost bricked my phone I was going to give up too but I stuck with it and the fine people on this site pulled me through! You are at the right place trust me very smart people here!
thanks, this phone has been bricked for a week, Im still waiting on my usb jig to come in the mail so i can hopefully clear the binary download count because I want to take it to sprint? since my usb and sd reader isnt working, will the usb clear the odin thing? if it doesnt, im completely screwed. im willing to short out my phone worst case scenario... I need it a replacement (i dont have insurance but i have warrenty)... any ideas? should i short it out or take it to sprint... what excuse should I make up if I decide to take it?
Will the usb jig clear the download count even though my usb and sd reader doesnt work. (the phone still charges through usb)

Ya if you have warranty i would actually just short it out! I had a friend that had an iPhone and he hooked it up to a computer with a messed up usb. It shorted it out, he took it back with his warranty info and walked out with a brand new iPhone no questions asked. If you dont and they see that it was routed you are going to be **** out of luck I can tell ya that. They definitely will inspect it to make sure there was no foul play with it trust me, best bet if you cant get it running is to short it out, and use the warranty. When you take it in just say it went off and you couldn't get it to go back on.
Honestly breaking the phone is your best option since the insurance will cover that. If you short it out or make the batter overload while it's in the phone then it's covered by the warranty. Also, clearing the download counter is pointless - if Sprint does manage to fix your phone it'll be pretty obvious you did something that made it FUBAR - mostly the international GS2 bootloader. Also, isn't the international GS2 GSM? Which means you can't reset it using a JIG, GSM versions don't support it.
Either way when you get a new one - make sure you read EVERYTHINGlet me say this again since people seem to take this stuff lightly: READ EVERYTHING BEFORE FLASHING if we had ICS for this phone don't you think the Dev section would be blowing up with ICS ROMs? Common sense seems to be the one thing that isn't common anymore....
Hope you figure something out though but I wouldn't hold my breath.
I updated to the new official 4.04 on my 4g touch and really disliked it. I was going to root it so I could try out some of the new 4.1 builds I seen around here but when running odin and trying to install cwm It just kept failing over and over so I tried to flash it back to stock and odin froze during the installation. Now my phone wouldnt even boot on its own into download mode so i bought a usb jig and had it rushed to me. It puts it into download mode just fine but now my pc/odin wont recognize that its plugged in so I cant flash it back to stock. I tried a different pc and I have the same problem.
when I power it on normally it just tells me to boot into recovery mode using kies. It charges normally. I dont have insurance on the phone and I really cant do without it. So does anybody have any ideas that could help save my phone?
I have kies installed so i dont think it is the drivers, and it was connecting a few days ago but it just wont anymore. But if it could then I could reflash and everything would be okay
Take it to a sprint store and tell them the update borked your phone. Software problems are usually an easy fix. If they can't do it, 35 bucks and they'll exchange it.

Hey... i searched for a solution and couldn't find one....
So i tried to install the Omega rom, the process went by pretty quickly, that's when i became suspicious.
Now i can turn my phone on, but there is something... strange... for instance once the screen turns off, the phone plays dead until i restart it.
i can get into download mode, and i did, tried to install cwm6 again, but it didnt work.
and if i try to go into recovery mode (vol up home and power) it just hangs on the "Samsung galaxy note 2 n-7100" screen.
Thanks for the help in advance =]
edit: Forgot to mention, if i plug it into the pc, windows/kies doesn't recognise it.
:< Please help me i am completly lost and beating my self up for trying this foolishness
Did u check "usb debug" on your device? Try samsung driver instead.
Try reflash recovery via pc odin again.
Might wanna try TWRP as people have been having issues with CWM when flashing ROM's.
Hey thanks for the answers, i indeed check usb debugging and it is on.
i also relized i SOMEHOW managed to download the galaxy s3 rom instead of the note 2 rom and flash it, and i guess thats the problem, however im sure it didnt flash right, any way i downloaded the correct rom and flashed it using mobile odin, every thing worked fine
however i still cant get into recovery mod, and the problem where the device stays in sleep mode is still there...
Im going to try this TWRP thingy now

By the way, as noted by Adam Outler, you should not use ODIN to continuously flash ROM's. Just to reset phone if needed. Using ODIN to flash ROM's will only turn out badly.

Sorry you're not having much luck. Maybe one of the brilliant devs will hop in and lend some thoughts. I'm out of ideas at the moment.
Thanks any way dude, appreciate it.
Im going to sleep, but let me reiterate the problem.
- Tried to flash a Galaxy s3 rom onto the Note 2, dont ask me how i made this mistake
- something.. happened during the flash
- now the phone wouldn't connect to usb (so i cant use odin) and after the screen turns off it wont turn back on again without switching the device off and on
- eventually downloaded the note 2 rom (omega) and flashed it using mobile odin, this time the proccess finished fine, but...
-Still cant connect the phone to the pc usb, (it charges tho, drivers are installed)
-Screen still wont come back on after it turns off
Shameless bump =[
Man.......
im guessing this problem is not a common one eh?
I hate to spam but im really lost, having this 600$ mirrior feels bad :<
Have you tried flashing a stock rom with odin mobile? I've not used odin mobile so I have no idea what it can and can't do. But you could try flashing a stock rom and then put Cwm or twrp after you have checked it

Rom Manager most likely partitioned your INTERNAL SD Card instead. You'd have to Flash Root66 for Android 4.2 via Odin.

I was on the pac 4.4 nightly, had flashed new nightly updates regularly for nearly a month with no problems, but then decided to switch to cm11, when I tried to flash that it gave me the bootloader error, so I went to the method that was a supposed fix for that and flashed it and thats when it went dead.
Same Problem
Hey guys I have the same exact problem heres how it started, which I think accurately describes everyone else with the same problem:
1) I downloaded the correct TWRP for my phone and unlocked it previously with ODIN.
2) So far everything is fine, now I find a nice new ROM which is stable and try to flash it. The rom was: FlashingDroid_S5_v2.2
3)First I deleted cache and dalvic cache as well, basically the default wipe.
4) I flashed the ROM and it said it was succesful, I click reboot, and nothing
Symptoms
1)No vibration
2)No screen image whatsoever
3)No signs of booting up with computer
4) Does not boot up using JIG method
5)Computer does not see phone
Notes
1) I tried checking the pulse of the phone W/out battery and gave me very little wattage, and eventually it drained out
2) Then I tried plugging it into my computer and the front red light went on but no power in phone and PC cannot see it
3) Sometimes when I put the battery in, it gives me a quick flash, from the flashlight on the back, OR it gives a millisecond of a vibration
4)Before I flashed I had android 4.3 Jellybean stock with root-again I tried to flash FlashingDroid_S5_v2.2 w/TWRP
Trials to resolve in which did NOT work
1) I tried putting it into download mode, with JIG but no battery and had someone put the battery in WHILE i was pressing HOME+POWER+VOLUME DOWN with the JIG
Results: It sometimes gave me a small vibration, but no results
2) Tried to install correct ODIN and KIES software
Result: Gave me negative sound on laptop meaning it does not recognize device-it does not show up in My Computer either
Having the same issue.
I used the FlashingDroid_S5_v2.2 rom. Wiped the phone before flashing, the prompt said successful and rebooted.
Then nothing.
No response from charging, power, download mode... nothing.
