I've been having issue with my Sprint Note 2 for a while. I've also posted this to Reddit and other parts of the forum but so far have gotten no way to fix my issue. Here's the link to Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport...nt_note_2_sphl900_bricked_after_attempted_43/
Sorry, I didn't want to type that all up again and having to deal with formatting and such.
Basically, the gist of it, from what I can gather is that I have accidentally loaded the 4.3 bootloader with KNOX and it is currently preventing me from doing anything productive (flashing CWMR, rooting, installing stock, etc). I read here on the forum that there were ways to do so, especially this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46861777
I was wondering if there were steps for the Sprint Note 2 SPH-L900?
Any help in debricking my phone is appreciated.
Try these steps.
1. Boot phone into Odin/download mode
2. Flash twrp or cwmr via Odin.
3. When it reboots pull battery and then boot into recovery.
4. Flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36388145 it is mc2 bootloader, firmware, radio, etc...
5. Reboot phone. Things get weird for a few mins but it will boot.
You are now Knox free once again but you are also bone stock.

I've tried that multiple times. The problem here is that I can't load CWMR or TWRP. At first, I assume that I'd have to root so I downloaded the CF auto root file and flash it using ODIN. Then I tried installing CWMR (after converting to .tar using Caboomi's tool here on the forum). It would reboot and I tried holding down volume up + power + home button but nothing would happen. I try combinations of that and still nothing. I flashed the 4.3 sboot.bin to get it back to stock Samsung bootloader then retried with CWMR without rooting first this time and it still doesn't work. ODIN would tell me that it succeeds but I can't enter Recovery no mater the combination of keys that I press. I'm assuming this has to do with Knox in which case I'd just have to wait for the official 4.3 firmware on SamMobile to flash it since stock 4.1.2 won't work.

After flashing cwm do battery pull...Don't let it auto-reboot.
Also try different version of Odin maybe

I tried 3.07, 3.09, and even barebone 1.85 that came with CF auto root. It doesn't work. I can't load recovery just fine (according to ODIN) but I can't get into Recovery.
Here is the fix https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2clvyo4y6gar6s/4.3_Unbrick.tar
I promise this will fix your issue, but when you get done, you will be on MC2 with the 4.3 bootloader, but, it will boot, let you flash recovery and everything. I know this because I did the same thing as you and flashed the old cf-auto root and bricked my phone to, and I created this file to fix it and if you look in the help section, you will find my thread on how to unbrick after 4.3 update fail.
I promise though, this will fix your fone

...My God..... What ever you did, it worked. Turns out, Caboomi's file didn't work too well. I couldn't get CWMR working at all even after converting to .tar. I used TWRP instead and it works. Problem was that it asked me for my password, which I don't know since I tried everything, so I had to resort to wiping everything. I installed the file jlmancuso suggested, loading it onto SD card then flashing using TWRP, and now my Samsung Note 2 is debricked.
Your file was a godsend. Thank you!
No recovery stuck on bootloop
im having the same issue could you post that dropbox link again
So i was able to get recovery back but it wont let me mount my sd card so i cant flash anything through recover was hoping the file you have could be loaded through odin as it is a .tar file correct please help and thanks in advance.

Yes, flash that file in Odin, it will downgrade you to MC2 with the MK4bootloader

Try using TWRP instead. It gives you the option to mount an external SD card. Also try restarting into recovery again. I had Recovery bugged out on me once.

For those of you who have bricked Note 2s (SPH-L900), I'm going to drop a DropBox link here to a folder of ALL of the files that I used to unbrick my phone. I experimented with multiple methods (and several sleepless nights). Some of them will be useful to you, not all. I have the Android SDK and Caboomi's converter for .img to .tar. It doesn't work too well for CWMR just FYI. ODIN-OC will attempt to load stock MC2 onto your phone but it won't work if it's bricked. Arc Converter is a program I used to try convert the MK4 .zip file to .tar to try and flash an update using ODIN. It didn't work. The steps that I took to unbrick my phone will be posted after the link.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/c2bfpfdf0qbs6bu/ZiNC-BF5kf
Be patient. Some of the files are still updating.
Steps:
1) Put your phone into Download mode by holding volume down + power + home button at bootup
2) Use ODIN (3.07 or 3.09) to load the 4.3_Unbrick.tar file. This will take a bit of time so be patient. Once the phone boots up again, you'll get past the boot screen that says "Samsung Galaxy Note II" and you'll get the Samsung logo with the spinning icon but it will loop. This is normal.
3) Next, power off (yank the battery and cable, leave battery out but plug the cable back in) and reboot into download.
4) Flash the TWRP .tar file (don't try converting the CWMR to .tar, it won't work) then reboot.
5) Hold volume up + power + home button (be patient here)
6) You should see the Team Win logo. You're now in recovery. The TWRP may ask you for the password. It is NOT the passcode to your lockscreen or your Google password. I have no idea what it is. At this point, you'd have to wipe your phone (internal only) if you want to flash the stock recovery.
7) Load the MC2 stock recovery file with counter reset onto a microSD card and mount it onto the phone (play around with TWRP, if it doesn't see the SD card the first time, restart or play with the mount function). Just be careful not to wipe your microSD card.
8) Flash the stock recovery (give it time) and it'll restart. You should be back at 4.1.2.
EXTRA STEPS
If you're still interested in 4.3, load the MK4 update onto the microSD card as well. BEFORE you go through the activation process for the 4.1.2 firmware at boot, boot into recovery. Flash the 4.3 update using stock recovery. This should put you onto 4.3 after the phone reboots. You should now have stock 4.3 (no root).
Sorry for all the download errors, I am uploading to my websight right now and as soon as it uploads, I will post the URL, it should download much faster too. I didnt realize so many people needed it
hey everybody, i rooted my s4 a couple days ago and it was working fine until i rebooted it too much in a short amount of time last night. Im a complete noob and new to customization. the phone is just stuck on the tmobile screen and wont go past it at all. i factory wiped it from stock recovery and that still did not help.
the root I used was: true- android. blogspot -dot- com / 2013 /11 /install -uvuemk2-android-43-jb-firmware.html
I followed everything correctly and the phone was rooted properly by odin.
theres not much else to it except that i was using font installer- a very stupid app that set its fonts to default and i was trying to get rid of them.
also i rerooted the phone using the same processes in the link above and nothing happened.
to the mods: sorry if this issue has been resolved somewhere else. if you know where please let me know. Thanks everybody!:laugh:

Here is a sure fix for your issue.
Download cf-autoroot and odin flash it, but be sure you uncheck the
checkmark in odin which says "auto reboot" before flashing.
(unzip cf-autoroot so you get the TAR file which odin needs)
After flashing cf-autoroot use the power button to power off the phone.
Here is the direct download link for cf-autoroot:
http://download.chainfire.eu/328/CF-...mo-sghm919.zip
After that's done you need to odin flash TWRP custom recovery.
Here is the direct download for TWRP custom recovery
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jfl...1-jfltetmo.tar
After you are done flashing TWRP the phone should work properly
without any further issues.
I would highly suggest that after your phone is working properly make
a nandroid backup if the rom in TWRP recovery before you change any
settings, adding/installing or flashing any mods, themes or apps.
Good luck!

Yes, in the latest odin version the pda is now called "AP" and yes
it's always best to un-check auto-reboot in Odin and always
power the phone down manually after odin flashes anything.
Good luck!

Go into recovery and do a "Factory Reset", don't wipe anything except cache and dalvik cach
then do the "factory reset" and reboot the phone.
By doing that it will delete any files and settings which are related to your previous rom version
you had before you Odin flashed the full 4.3 official Samsung M919 Jellybean firmware.
The factory reset will not wipe your internal/external sdcard and it will not wipe any personal files,
contacts, music, videos or pictures.
All the factory reset in recovery does is to make sure that you only have the new
updated Samsung M919 official Jelleybean 4.3 rom related files in your phone.
Google will replace your contacts and other settings using your gmail account
automatically after you sign into your gmail account.
Good luck!

Use the "Advanced" tab and select only the Cache and Dalvik Cache.
Then back out of the advance wipe option using the back softkey in twrp
recovery, then you will see on bottom of screen where you swipe, it will say
"factory reset" ... do that and reboot the phone.

If you read me post about flashing KToonsez kernel it does not mention
anything about ODIN. This kernel needs only TWRP recovery,
use that, and in TWRP click on INSTALL tab and navigate twrp
to the location of the ktoonzes kernel you downloaded, then
click on it, and flash it in TWRP
(no need for odin when you are in twrp recovery)

What is your recovery?
You can not come in?
If so, make a backup of what is without creating MD5 checksums then upload the rom again and restore only the data.

Here is my problem
My friend gave me his note 2 to fix WiFi it was already rooted
I downloaded slimkat and flashed it it worked good
And WiFi worked but he wanted a touchwiz look
So I downloaded jellykat ROM but didn't read the instructions and flashed with cwm
Got into bootloop then I flashed twrp recovery using Odin and reflashed the ROM but I got the fix root error and I swiped to fix
Then also bootloop ..I downloaded Dr.ketan stock ROM
And flashed philz recovery through twrp recovery and then flashed ROM also backed up efs
The phone also didn't boot stuck at bootscreen
Then I got frustrated and didn't know what to do I flashed the nd3 bl through Odin
And rebooted but nothing changed ..I read in Dr.ketan thread about flashing stock recovery and the bl
So I did all through odin and I rebooted but I had no recovery I tried flashing both twrp and cwm through Odin but also nothing
Now I have no recovery but I have download mode
I can Odin flash stock but I can't loose the data inside I really need the data
i think the problem is with the boot loader since i flashed nd3 bootloader and when device booted it didnt finish
so any ideas???
Why not any 4.4.2 stock firmware through Odin? Seems to be the easiest way to get the device started again.

Download 4.4.2 stock firmware from sammobile and flash with Odin.
Data (if it is still there) won't be touched. Only system partition will be wiped.

Look, flashing with Odin is like getting an update by Samsung. Users would turn crazy if such an update would wipe their data.
Firmware is always installed in system partition and never somewhere out.
Besides: Photos and vids are mostly saved on external SD. Where are yours?

No, it is not the only thing, but you have messed around such a long time and to finish the suffering I suggest to do.

I KNOW that nothing of your data will be wiped, I have done it three times since 4.4.2 came out on 25.4.2014
First ND3, then NE1 and lately NE2.
This is my last post here. Good luck!

ok man wish me luck thanks alot for alot of help
Any other suggestions before I flash 4.4.2 with Odin (currently 4.1.2) ?
Hey everyone, 1st off thanks to all the great people here that take there time to help and give back, much love and respect!
So i have a Note 2, i was using it last night, and it just froze! So i waited and waited, nothing! I tried to power down, nothing, so i popped the battery out and it restarted and stayed at "Samsung Galaxy Note II"
I tried many many times to restart and power down, still come back to the same result!
My phone is:
Note 2 SGH-T899V (wind mobile)
I downloaded odin v3.09, i loaded samsung drivers, i downloaded T889VVLUDNE7 from sammobile.
I put phone in download mode, attached cable loaded file from odin(clicked and unclicked all the correct boxes) and everything "Passed" on odin
Phone reset and got stuck again on Samsung screen. So i
Pull out the battery, wait for about 1 minute and then put the battery back in its place.
Boot the device into Stock Recovery mode by holding down Volume Up, Center(menu) button and Power keys till the Samsung logo appears.Use the volume keys to scroll and power keys to select recovery menu options.
From the menu, wipe data by selecting wipe data/factory reset option followed by wipe cache partition. Finally reboot the system by selecting reboot system now.
and still it is stuck in Samsung screen.
I then installed CWM 6.4.3 with no problems, went into recovery wiped user and cache and installed zip from sd card. It would try and then "INSTALLATION ABORTED"
Re Downloaded zip tried again, same thing "INSTALLATION ABORTED"
Flashed CF Auto root, then went into recovery and tried to install from zip and "signature verification failed"
flashed CWM again, tried install "installation aborted"
Guys where am i going wrong, or what step did i miss? Please help!!!
Anyone please help!

Actually I dont own this device so I dont know which firmware version are they ..... any chance you have flashed knox bootloader and these firmware don't have know?
And you can only flash zip files in recovery and I think you are trying to flash .tar file using recovery?? Thats y it is not getting flashed..... do this download any latest custom rom zip and flash it via recovery it will surely fix your issues
to what i know it would take some time for a newly flashed android device to boot out of boot logo.

Just download custom recovery and download custom rom of 4.4.2 and flash via recovery and ur fone will boot up for sure
Most probably u have upgraded ur fone with knox bootloader and now trying to flash non-know enabled firmware or older version know bootloader firmware.... there is no way yet to remove knox bootloader so u need to flash latest firmware using recovery either stock deodexed zip or any custom rom

Can u upload a pic of your phone in download mode..?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hi Guys, I have had a tab 3 passed to me to take a look at its an sm-t210 and I am really struggling to get it working.
I can boot to download mode and I can boot to stock recovery mode but it wont actually the OS load up.
I have tried flashing the stock rom from sams and my eyes actually sting from reading so many posts on this now.
The furthest I can get is rebooting after flashing the stock firmware then its stuck on the system recovery with E failed to verify whole-file signature, signature verification failed.
I have tried with the latest 4.4.2 to the 4.1.2 and it just gets stuck in to a boot loop as only half the installation is completing.
Tried pretty much everything and just at the end of my tether now
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you kindly in advance

Hi, Thank you for getting back to me..
I have not installed a custom recovery, it is the stock from samsung-updates.com 7.0_WiFi/SM-T210/BTU/T210XXBNI1 (4.4.2) I have been trying to get working but that just goes in to a hard repeating boot up loop once finished in oden that wont let me access recovery.
I have re flashed with samsung-updates.com 7.0_WiFi/S_M-T210/BTU/T210XXAMKF (4.1.2) which gets me a little further as it then spits up a signature verification error while trying to update in the stock recovery program.
I have tried numerous others from reading through posts on here and they all fail at the signature verification or get stuck in a repeating boot up loop.
I cant post links yet as I am a new member, I can take screen shots though i think if you need them for reference.
Thank you kindly in advance
Please tell me , you are The first owner, or is a second Hand one.?
Wy i ask , at Download you can See The Staus as Custom, so it was modified.
Try a factory reset, Wipe cache from The recovery and try to reboot.

It belongs to my friend's son who had it new and I am unsure what exactly he has done to it. I was just given it to try repair as I am usually quite sharp at fixing things.
Yes I noticed that box says custom but was unsure as I have already tried doing factory reset and wipe cache I thought it would return it to stock but it seems to have no effect.
OK, my last idea,
1.Download a customrom for exp. Nolekat to a ext.Sdcard and put this to your Tab
2.Download a Custumrecovery lastet Version ( The one with KK extension ) to your PC i prefere CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853
3.go into Download mode and follow the Guide from the link.
4. Important , after flashing with Odin boot with the 3 Buttons to the Recovery and flash the Customrom.
Good luck and a happy New year 2015

The Cwm is the Version 6.0.4.9 KK ? Important is KK.
Have you tried to flash the Nolekat with ext.Sdcard Form the Recovery and than try to reboot?
A other important question, repartion was unchecked by Odin !
Can you go to the Download mode?

I have not got an external SD card yet though I am about to go out and will pick one up.
yes, I can get in to download mode and I can also get in to the other mode when the stock rom is flashed.
I have not given up yet and I have not repartition or anything damaging in Odin
Will get stuck in to it and have another go soon, thank you kindly for all the advice and help so far too! )
Happy new year!

Ok here is where I am at. I was unable to get an external SD card today. Is there any other way to get this device working?
When I flash T210_CWM_6.0.4.9.KK.tar.md5 it does not let me access recovery mode, it just hangs on a black screen but I can still get to download mode.
I have to re flash Stock rom so it gives me back recovery mode but does not complete as shown before with screenshot.
I am just going around in circles now and about to tell my friend he needs to get a new one sadly.
Updated screen shot
This is its current state in recovery mode after flashing stock rom.
Try doing a factory reset there in the recovery and wipe the cache. Then see if it will reboot.
Tried everything pretty much..

Okay, so you're in stock recovery. You need to reboot to download mode. Next you need to flash a custom recovery with Odin. I recommend TWRP. You also need to download the most recent supersu zip. Once you're in the custom recovery of your choice, flash the supersu zip and reboot. Congratulations, you are now on rooted stock!

Thank you but i have tried that already. Same result, i cannot get in to custom recovery after flashing it, i can then only get back in to download mode and this aching process repeats over and over.
I am throwing in the towel, this device is bust.
Thank you all for your efforts
