I just did the regedit trick and downloaded the froyo update but when i go into the phone i just keep getting error messages about launcher not loading etc.
I have factory resent and cleaned cache but still wont work. I cant download the old updates through kies any more how do i get it back to how it was with the old software? I am stuck and freaking out lol
guess you have to flash an older FW like JM2 with Odin ... check out FAQ in this section (sticky).
I really stuffed it up now i somehow flashed a captivate rom onto it from atnt and now it wont even go past the white screen. I cant use the 3 buttons to get it into recovery mode or download mode. And the computer is not recognising the phone. Have i stuffed it for good?
try volume up + volume down + power
the AT&T / Tmobile version uses that combination
instead of Volume down + home + power
Go into recovery mode and factory wipe if you have issues such as services force quitting.

Captive rom onto Galaxy phone? Curious how did you do that as these two are two different phone. You are not the first one but reading from the posts from people who did the same mistake, I'd say you have bricked it. Sorry to be the bearer of the bad news
i have
I have tried all combinations of keys and it just keeps loading up with white att international phone and then that screen just flashes every few seconds and doesnt go any futher. It wont go into downloadin or recovery.
im thinking of doing the update
did you do anything eles besides the update to cause this
Look, the only possible way to brick the phone (that i know of) is to flash others phone rom(Captivate being the usual suspect) into Galaxy.
This changed the button combo to enter download mode in Galaxy (as Captivate has different combo for download mode) so it is not possible to enter the download mode and reflash. Therefore you are stuck and cant do nothing Im afraid
Just curious , why so many people flashing Samsung Captivate rom into their Galaxy?
Some other examples

Since it is the same Galaxy S i9000, I'd say It'll work. But I could be wrong To be on the safe side, you could ask for other Bell Galaxy users' feedback. Dont know about Bell, but Romanian Orange users are getting their phone locked after the flash.
usualy when something wrong w/0 3 buttons
usualy when something wrong w/0 3 buttons the phone rebooting in recovery mode itself to reboot it in download mode install correct adb drivers and use command "adb reboot download"
decided
I have just decided i am going to take it to one of the local Samsung repair centres i explained it over the phone and they said they could fix it for $49.95 or they could try and push for warantee but i told them i would just pay it will take longer for them to apply for warantee get rejected and then i pay anyways.
I miss it already i had to go back to my nokia N95 which was from a few phones ago now lol
i think the benfiets can wait till the official release ryanza lagfix fix all the lag problems that i had how important is flash really use your computer
Please explain exactly where you got the rom from so we don't make a similar mistake.
I'd pay the 50 too instead of waiting weeks and weeks :\
I got
I got the original rom through samsung kies using the reg edit trick that was shown in one of the threads. After a factory reset and a cleared cache it loaded up but started coming up with all these pop ups that things wont load and need to be forced shut etc.
So i decided to just flash it back using Odin but at 12 at night and in a panicy state thinking i have stuffed my phone for good i clicked on a captivate rom without looking at the heading of the thread that a link took me to for the galaxy s.
But as i said before for 49.95 to get it fixed is easier then me trying all these other things and getting in more of a panic about doing worse things to it. I assume it will be easy for them to fix it. A friend said he had a nokia he bricked where USB wasnt connecting and the screen wouldnt come on etc and they just used a computer that does something and fixes it.
got
Just got the phone call they managed to fix my galaxy for $49 and getting it back tomorrow oh how i have missed it i had to go back to a old old phone the nokia 95 lol.

Okay so I rooted the GT-S7560 or the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 X using the Duos method mentioned in this thread. This phone is showing up everywhere in Canada right now through the usual channels and I wanted to clarify the process a bit for others who stumble upon this thread. I have attached a zip file containing the files I used and a word doc with instructions. It's the same as the Galaxy Duos except for entering recovery I could not figure out the button configuration to do it so I used ADB and sent the reboot recovery command. I later learned the vol button is a rocker and to press the center of the vol button the power and home all at the same time to enter recovery.
I seek no credit, just trying to make it easier for the next.
I have tested root on a couple of apps and everything seems to working great with no issues.

Hello everyone. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II (N7100) phone which will not turn on. This occurred after I attempted to enter recovery mode by pressing UP+HOME+POWER. The screen said something about an SD card (the message appeared very briefly). I removed the SD card, and found that my phone will no longer power on. I have tried putting the phone into download mode, pulling the battery, putting the phone into recovery mode, accessing the phone via ADB, all of which failed. The phone is not appearing as a USB device on my PC, and rather alarmingly, while plugged in, the charging light doesn't come on. I would try putting the SD card back in, but, rather foolishly, I wiped the card.
Is there anything that can be done for this phone, or am I going to have to return it to Samsung? I'm concerned about returning it because I had just installed a new ROM before the phone bricked itself, and so didn't get the chance to reset the custom ROM counter. If the phone doesn't turn on at all, is there any way of Samsung knowing if the phone has been modified?
hi, does anyone know the answer to this ? my N7100 recently did the same thing as well. thanks !
as u say it bricks, i think samsung cant tell whats inside, unless the counter binary still works
May be Battery died. ..charge it for few hrs and try again
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
Same here

same happened with me and I also tried the JIG but in vain.
Guys I feel sorry for your phones. As a friend mentioned up, usb jigs are not puting download mode. Sad to say but should send it to a Samsung service center.
In the end, I just sent the phone to Samsung. Even though I couldn't reset the flash counter (the phone died straight after flashing), I'm hoping Samsung don't notice. I'm pretty optimistic about them not noticing; after all, the phone is completely dead, so I don't think they'll be able to tell unless they have some kind of special gadget to read the flash counter.
if they have a special device to get to a point where they can read flash counter... that would probably fix it straight up
I had this on my note 1 and there was nothing i could do. I sent it off for someone to jtag it but still noting so sold it broken for £150.

Hi to all,
I bought my note three weeks ago, unlocked, GT-N7100, no warranty.
Yesterday suddenly restarted entering in boot loop. At first i thought i had pressed power button wrongly because i had it on hand, but after some time i saw the Samsung galaxy note II logo flash every 5-10 sec. I'm new on android and i panicked. I've been using idevices for years and always managed to handle every similar situation happened to me. I liked this phone in its original state so never tried to root it. The phone it's in stock ROM, (Jelly been 4.1.1) never restored, or updated. I haven't installed anything the last two days. Never had a problem till now, worked great.
I've been reading since yesterday in the forum the similar threats with problems as mine, tried a lot of times to enter on recovery mode with the vol+, home, power button and couldn't do that even once. I tried to enter in download mode with vol-, home, power button and i see the warning screen but when i press vol+ to enter on download mode the screen turns black and the note II logo reappears......
Tried to remove, put the battery again, no changes. The phone isn't recognized from Pc, Odin, Kies, Note 2 ToolKit. Rechecked the samsung drivers also. Please help me.
Is there anybody that can help me ?
Thanks in advance

If you can't enter into download mode ( vol- + home + power ) or recovery - i think usb jig and service center might be the only option.
Why is your phone without warranty ? Where did you buy it ?
I am afraid my friend tgat your phone got the sudden death syndrome.
You would have skipped this if you had updated to 4.1.2 which supposedly fixes the issue. You have to take it to your local Samsung service center.

It is a combination of hardware and software. Nand chip fails due to corruption by badly written firmware.
Why no warranty? I have heard that N7100 and all samsung phones plagued by this are immediately swaped.

Sounds like SDS. I don't think there's much you can do from your end sorry. Need to get it replaced or fixed at the service center. It's worth a try if you can go to the actual Samsung service center and not a retailer and check to see if they will replace it for you.

I agree, the warranty is usually provided by Samsung, not the retailer. You may need to print out your purchase invoice to prove you got the phone legit, though.
Thanks for replying guys.
I tried to contact the seller but he hasn't reply to me yet. I tried to contact samsung but they say to contact them in the country i bought it. I bought it from a usa seller, but samsung usa can't help because the model isn't in their database, because its GT-N7100 model. I'm confused to what samsung center to go now?
Can someone tell me what country was my phone destined?
model number GT-N7100
android version 4.1.1
baseband version N7100XXALJ2
build number
JR003C.N7100XXALJ3
PDA N7100XXALJ3
*#1234#
AP N7100XXALJ3
CP N7100XXALJ2
CSC N7100OXXALJ4

Warm greetings to you all friends,
So far one week ago i bought a Samsung galaxy S3 i9300 SGH-1747 (AT&T Vietnam) from my big friend. As you know on smartphones you need to reset if you are a new user. I made a factory data reset by pressing all the buttons procedure. I wiped the phone and it rebooted. But since i reseted the phone, It started switching off its self after like every 4 minutes it sets off. It showed me this message “The device has detected an application attempting to perform actions that are not permitted, Reboot now or reboot later" even if press restart nothing changes it brings it back again. So my friend requested me that he can fix that by changing the rom.
After he has erased the phone, and connects it to odin if failed to upgrade, immediately after pressing start it fails. He has downloaded almost the roms of it type but again they fail in odin software. It cannot connect to kies software. Now it just blinks "Samsung" logo on the screen after a second and it goes off. Please kindly advise me, what can we do? I love that phone because there very expensive here. Help me please what can we do?

The i9300 and the i747 are different phones and any ROM or custom recovery suitable for one could hardbrick the other.
Could you power off the device, remove the back cover, and then check under the battery to verify the model?
I checked it and the model is that one.

The i747 makes things a bit more limited in things we could do to correct this. The last full official ROM released by AT&T was the 4.1.1 release. If your phone had a newer bootloader and modem on it than that for 4.1.1 or the 4.1.2 partial release, then the 4.1.1 release is not safe for you to use.
Do you know, or can you get, information about what it was your friend tried to flash?
Can he tell you what bootloader and modem were on your phone before he flashed anything?
Boot into download mode (Odin mode) and report back with all of the small text at the top of the screen. If there is a line about "warranty bit" that would indicate you to be on at least the 4.3 bootloader.
I expect the solution will using a debrick image on an external sdcard, booting from it,, swapping cards, determining the correct bootloader and modem, flashing them, flashing a custom recovery, and finally flashing a rom. Here is a thread about using a debrick image, it has links to where he obtained his info.
