I tried but I still get the same problem. Maybe Im doing something wrong. I put the phone in download mode, open Odin, plug it in, click PDA, choose the stock I got from the SamMobile site, and it runs completely but then gets stuck on reboot at the Samsung logo still.

go into stock recovery by powering on the phone while holding home and volume up, then choose the option to wipe cache, then reboot.

Agreed. I had a similar issue the other day. I ended up wiping cache in samsung recovery, and if that doesn't work, wipe data factory reset. I tried rebooting, but it still got stuck at the samsung logo. I then flashed CWM recovery or TWRP recovery through ODIN and then download another rom. Do a factory reset within the new recovery / wipe cache/ wipe dalvik/ wipe system/ and then flash the new rom. That will get it to boot.
Moral of the story is to not freak out too much. You're not in trouble.

Stuck at Samsung logo?

Ok so I went back to stock after CM9, all went fine, phone rebooted and does the animation and sound but it won't go any further, I tried getting into the recovery screen but goes as far the little android guy and then reboots. Any ideas?

Reflashed Euro stock and again stuck at boot animation, I can't get into recovery to wipe or anything as it won't go past the little Android guy and reboots any ideas? On my SGS2 what I would of done at this stage is go into recovery and reset all, but can;t do this, gonna try flashing CWM to see if this helps, stock recovery seems fooked.

Hi! You have to flash your phone stock ROM. And then again try to flash the MOD

Have you checked the zip file you downloaded is corrupt or not?
There is a difference 1mb will cause bootlop on your device.

Ok, recorrect.
I missread.
Have u got an SD card?
Just put a new stable ROM in it.
And befoure installing the new ROM wipe factory settings, cache, dalvik cache.
And make sure it is wiped, then install the new one.
Because it might save some setting from that ROM, and they might be corrupted, so it's recommended to wipe those befoure ROM installing, and after, when the ROM is installed already.
And if you can't get into recovery mode, then ur phone might be bricked.
No idea, how to solve that.
Haven't experienced that at all.

If you can go into Download Mode, you can try using Odin to fix things up. Otherwise, your phone is hard-bricked, and only SSC can help.

Hi!
Try to remove the external sd card!!
My phone had a bootloop like this on every custom rom,(also stock rom but with wipe i had resolved).
So try to remove the sd card!

Operations with data failing! Bricked!?

Hi! Today I got semi-bricked Note II. I flashed WanamLite 2.0 and afther that I restored my appz through titanium backup. I played games 20 min, my phone is suddenly rebooted. Now I cant restore my nandroid backup, it success restore /system, but when it start to restore data - recovery shutdown! Same if I try to wipe data - wiping... black screen and reboot. After that I see Samsung Galaxy Note II and Samsung ROM bootanimation. And it stuck. (

Now phone booted from nandroid backup successfully and without troubles, recovering boot and system successful. Restoring /data ... black screen. Reboot. But when I try to wipe data my recovery turns off. Ofc it didnt wipe it. Also I tried PhilZ and Chenglu recovery and same results.
Whats problem? What I need to flash to restore /data partition? Where I can download Rescue ROM or 3-file (PDA PHONE CSC) stock firmware? Will it help? Thx!

I'm experiencing this issue as well.
CWM keeps rebooting whenever i select "wipe data/factory reset"
I've tried re-flashing a stock rom in ODIN with the PIT file which allows me to boot the phone but it is missing apps like Play Store. After flashing a stock rom, I've tried flashing CWM via ODIN to wipe but the same problem of reboot on wipe data still persist.
I've also tried superwipe script and the factory reset from Settings but the phone hangs in all cases.

tried that but Play Store force closes when I try to verify account.

So there is no way to fix it? Why it persists? Please!

I tried to google this problem. I surfing but I couldn't find some results which can help me and guy who tried to help me.
I think it depends not only the software, it can be hardware failure.

hihi, i'm not sure if u had the exact same problem as me. but i accidently managed to fix it.
1. Go to Download mode.
2. Use PC Odin to flash Stock 4.1.2 (PDA slot) + PIT file(PIT slot)(Check re-partition box) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696.
3. Phone reboot into stock rom
4. Switch off the phone
5. Hold power + home + up to enter stock android recovery (3e)
6. Wipe data/factory reset. (somehow the data wipe works in stock android recovery, dont ask me why)
7. Reboot phone
8. Switch off phone and enter download mode
9. Use ODIN to flash CWM tar
After that you can enter CWM and shud be able to wipe as normal. Den you can flash any custom rom that you like as before.
This was how I managed to fixed my phone. try at your risk

Updating SGH-I747 from 4.1.1 to 4.3

I've looked around a bit and can't quite find someone that has had my specific situation.
I have a AT&T S3 SGH-I747 that is rooted running stock 4.1.1 with CWM 6.0.4.7. I have updated the modem and bootloader (Baseband - I747UCUEMJB and Build # JRO03L.I747UCDLK3).
I have tried to flash custom and stock ROMS with CWM but get stuck on the glowing Samsung logo. I have tried to follow the instructions listed here but I cannot flash the stock ROM with ODEN.
I am not sure as to what to attempt next. I first want to be able to update to 4.3/4.4.2 and then try custom builds.
I have all my apps and data backed up with MyBackup and a Nandroid backup as well.
Thank you.

Are you wiping the cache, davilk, and data before of after flashing the ROM?

I wipe/format before the flash. I factory reset, clear cache, clear davilk, format data, and format system then flash the ROM. I've tried several combinations of clearing/formatting. The flash always goes well and then I reboot. The boot goes and then just sits at the Samsung logo (It does make the AT&T sound during this time)

Try to factory reset once the flash is done if it doesn't boot after 5-10min.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot and we'll see how it goes.

Unfortunately that tip did not appear to help. I still got stuck on the glowing Samsung logo.
I was final able to flash 4.3 using the method here using odin.

Bootlooping

Hi, phones been running great until yesterday when it started telling me the disk space was nearly full(via es filee xplorer). It then turned off a few times and i turned it on again. The phone would shut off if I tried to do anything like launch the camera app. It now bootloops when i try to turn it on.
I have tried wiping dalvic cache, factory reset, recover from a recovery point i made when i installed the cm13 rom and reinstalling the custom rom like I did the first time using twrp.
The phone did once go into a boot animation of the old boot screen(02 animation), another time it started the miui boot logo but went back to the normal samsung galaxy note 2 boot loop where its stuck at now.
Any suggestions on how i could get it running again? Thanks!

Search for efs.tar file on the internet for n7100, flash it via Odin then wipe data, cache and davlik cache.

Thanks. Any instructions /tutorials on how to flash an efs file?
Is it the same procedure as flashing a stock ROM using Odin?

It should use the same procedure as flash stock ROM. I'm not sure because the last time I did it was some years ago.
I have found another way, it's​ a bit hard, but safer

Gave it a read. Phones not entering recovery mode anymore so not sure I can proceed. Maybe try flashing stock ROM again.
