I think what you mean to ask is, In download mode you get failed errors in Odin trying to flash a stock fw and encryption errors when flashing a rom via twrp. Post your pics of errors you are getting in the thread hopefully someone has an answer for you. iv'e been trying to help but im baffled, seems nothing will write to his internal on the phone. is this considered a brick even if you can still get into download mode or recovery?
EDIT: here are pics of errors twanskys204 is getting in odin and twrp. even after factory reset or wipes of caches from encryption error still no boot.

Encryption error, ugh. Haven't saw that since Captivate days. You may need to send that for jtag.
Here's the link for the Captivate thread with the encryption error. Maybe you can find something there that's useful

If your using a PIT file, tick "re-partition" in odin. It will 100% wipe the device. like factory. That should fix your error.

Edit sorry wrong question

Part of your problem is your flashing att firmware on a Canadian carrier phone. Try the right firmware. They are close, but not close enough.

Okay that being said. I can get into cwm. I see my external no internal. When I flash dagr8s rom it says complete and boots to Samsung splash screen then it gives me that encryption issue.. I'm at the point where I think I'm out of a note 2 but I don't know I'm 16 days into the purchase... Of well I guess this was an 800 dollar mistake on my part. To all the newbies out there plzz plzz read and understand b4 u flash.

this link is for s3

No, the link is for a Captivate thread on encryption errors. It says that in the first sentence of the OP. The thread link is merely to help point you on a direction to start looking for what happened. It is not posted with the intent to offer a solution, merely more information.
Also, did you flash Canadian firmware on your Canadian phone, instead of Att firmware on your Canadian phone?

Ok first off in Odin. You only want that file in the PDA section.
Did you make a nandroid of your stock rooted before flashing dagr8's ROM? If so restore that. If not. Download a stock rooted one and get your phone working again.
What link did you DL his ROM from? Mine kept failing and had success from mirror 2
Also did you follow all the instruction about root??? It says make sure repartition isn't- IS NOT - checked!!!!
Edit: after rereading I see you were already rooted. If our can get to recovery. What about a data reset. Might work

Thats correct re partition needs to be enabled when going to stock when using a .pit file in odin. The i317m was released oct 30 so hence the reason he had it longer as I do the same

Well, they were released on the 9th. so impossible to have it that long, unless you have the Bell?rodgers version. Not sure when those came out. Also. SORRY for trying to help. it didn't look like you followed any of the instructions. reading the post I linked you too, doesn't have you flashing 5 files in Odin at any time.... EVER! If you truly want to unroot your phone..... READ AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! It helps so much. We were all noobs once, just read and reread.

Not that I know of. If you can get to download mode you are still OK. Can you get into recovery?
If you can this is the Att stock image recovery. This should be the only file you need to get back to a working phone. I didn't see one for bell/Rogers.

I would like some help!?

I have recently purchased a galaxy note 2 and as I was reading the original development forums as a non-member I came across a cyanogen 10.1 port! I flashed this onto my phone along with the gapps for 4.1.2 this caused my phone to boot in and have error messages everywhere and I could not get out of them!!! I am going into panic mode!!! Is there any way to undo what I did?! I have not been able to find a stock rom for ATT that allows for a reset with Odin!? So is there any way to get me out of this predicament!?

Hit the thanks button on accident. Scott aka scrosler posted a rooted deodexed stock rom with the OTA from yesterday in the development section. Do a clean install and you should be ok.

Really sounds like you need to stop. Read. Read some more. And then some more. Before you brick your phone. The rom jyazzie mentioned is flashed the same way you put cm10.1 on your phone.

I have read as much as possible! the way I put it was incorrect I have no way of accessing my phone because as soon as I boot up it says there was an error starting gapps then it continues to say this indefinitely... so the only way to install any sort of fix for this would be from my computer!

To flash the rom by scrosler is the exact same way you flashed cm10. Before you do anything I suggest you take a few hours and read this over and over until you know what you are doing.

If you flashed cm 10.1 on your phone there is no way you have a stock recovery. Unless you've done something else that you haven't told us. I think we need more info.

URGENT HELP - Brick

I had installed CM 10.1 successfully and everything was fine. The I installed Perseus Kernel from ROM Manager and it booted into Recovery (CWM) and installed Perseus without a problem, then when rebooting I got stuck on the screen "Samsung GALAXY Note II". I've tried to press the Vol-, Vol+ and Vol-, Home, remove Battery, etc, to try to get into Recovery or Download mode but nothing, I always get the same screen "Samsung GALAXY Note II". Please an help or advice on how to get into Recovery or Download mode, what should I do?.
NOTE: I already removed the SD Card and SIM Card.
Thanks a lot

Delete - you tried a battery pull and download mode. So I don't know what else to try. I know the captivate had a jig to get to download mode. I don't know if such a thing exists for the note 2

Agreed with above pull the battery keep it out then hold the volume down and connect it to your computer.

I did try the removing the battery but did not work the first time, probably did not fully pressed Vol+ and Vol-, now it's working fine. Thanks a lot.
What Kernel should I use?, I think the problem was related to incompatibility between CM 10.1 and Perseus.

Recovery mode:
pull battery
re insert battery
3 button combo (hold volume up + home + power)
hold until splash screen then release

This is what I was about to say. I don't think that Perseus will work with anything but TouchWiz ROMs, so that is more than likely your problem. Just reflash CM10.1 and you should be able to boot.

That's the thing. He's trying to get into recovery mode which he is unable to do at the moment.

Thanks, now I know that there are two types of ROM, I just installed ForceKernel (OC TO 1,920Mhz) and then run some benchmarks and it's much slower than Perseus, I used to get in Perseus around 7,500 in Quadrant and now I get between 5,500 to 6,500, am I doing something wrong ?
NOTE: I am using SetCPU and the Governor is "pegasusq"

U should just keep the original kernel that comes with the rom...flashing other kernels can hard brick ur phone and you'll have send it in to get repair...

Try hooking up and connect via usb to ur computer. Use the cmd prompt. Adb/adb reboot recovery. See if that works. Shouldn't Need to be jtagged if it's at least booting somewhat. Jtag is for hard bricks. When the phone won't boot AT ALL.

No your not doing anything wrong, CM10 in benchmarks are known not to produce as high of numbers. Benchmarks are only a number. So it appears its fixed, Reporting this thread to the mods to close.

[Q] I THINK I BRICKED MY NOTE 2!? (Chainfire 3D)

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.

[Q] Cannot boot into Recovery (SEANDROID Issue)

Hey guys,
It's been a while.. so long I forgot my actual account password and no longer have access to the email address I used to create it. I've been on iOS for the last... 4-5 years now.
Anyway, I'm finally back now, got a Galaxy Note 3, and I've rooted it, and upgraded to 4.4.2 KitKat. I've tried to install CWM, and Odin says it passed (I've done this like 6 times now, trying different fixes I've found online, and none worked). Every time I try to boot into recovery, I get the following at the top of the screen:
1. RECOVERY BOOTING
2. RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
3. Set Warranty Bit: recovery
After this, the phone reboots, and takes me to the OS, which is different than most people, apparently it won't let them even boot so I suppose I'm lucky.
But if I didn't want a custom Rom on my Note, I wouldn't be here, someone please help.

that's weird, usually that blue 'recovery booting' means you are gonna get there.
a few things just for clarification: are you letting go of all the buttons as soon as you see that screen? and you do have the Tmo Note 3, yeah?
i hope you figure this out... it's gotta be something simple, i would think..

Did you root first using CF auto root?

Yeah, tried both Odin v1.85 and v3.09 as administrator.

have you tried TWRP? that's what i'm using, version 2.7.0.0. perhaps you have an outdated version of CWM? you can grab a TWRP Odin file here if you wanna try: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo
just throwing out ideas here... hope you get it figured out.

Philz seems to be the recovery of choice lately. Try it out. Works flawlessly for me.

just throwing out ideas here... hope you get it figured out.

I thought TOP didn't work on KitKat? I had it initially but it threw the same error so I thought it was the problem and switched to CWM.
Also. After a while these word captchas are horrible. I keep trying to answer them and it refuses to work. I didn't remember xda having them before.

Verify that you gave it the CWM for 4.4.x, not the CWM for 4.3. If it is the wrong version just give it the correct one.

Philz seems to be the recovery of choice lately. Try it out. Works flawlessly for me.

Apparently I had Philz on my computer so I gave it a shot. It gave me the same 3 messages in the beginning but it booted and I got infamous flashed on my phone.
Thanks a lot of all your help guys.

Yeah, tried both Odin v1.85 and v3.09 as administrator.

What boxes are checked marked in Odin ? PDA should be checked for installing the recovery.

Awesome. Glad I could help!
