[Q] Bricked phone, need lots of help :( - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

NT-7100 model.
So, I was trying out different ROMs on my phone last night and the one I ended up on before I went to sleep kept freezing a lot, so I ended up booting into recovery and I wiped everything a few times and then reflashed it. The one time I did this, it failed (I can't remember what it said) and I couldn't flash the file. I tried re-wiping everything, but nothing. I was pretty tired and must've hit reboot by mistake, because the next thing I know, I'm stuck on the Samsung boot screen.
Now, I can only go into downloading mode, but it currently says:
Product Name; (blank)
Custom Binary: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
I can get it recognized on Odin (3.04), but whenever I try to flash stock ROM, it says one of two things: 1) (most common) Can't open serial (COM), and 2) (JUST happened as I was trying again to reflash) There is no PIT partition.
The second one is new, I assume I have to get a PIT file from somewhere to fix that?
The first one, if it comes back, how should I deal with that?
(Is it really bad that it doesn't have anything after Product Name? )
Thanks in advance. I'd really like to get this fixed up ASAP T_T

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 try here post 4 has the pit file flash that then boot into download mode again and flash the stock rom

I actually found that a little bit before your response and I've been trying to flash it, but it either says it can't connect to serial (COM) or just fails and doesn't say why...ONE TIME it went to the "PIT for mapping" part and then just stalled for hours.
The serial one I assumed was drivers or just the USB port I was using, so I reinstalled the drivers and I've tried different ports, still no change.
The drivers didn't find any updates, but I assume there aren't really any?
Not really sure where to go from here... Is there something else that could be causing the serial thing?
EDIT: This is what it does when I restart download mode and immediately plug it into Odin and try to flash the PIT. It only does it the first time and then it sticks on SetupConnection.

well delete all old Samsung drivers and kies if any any remove all temp file left over restart you pc
install SAMSUNG_USB_Driver 1.5.23.0 stop the update from the right tray and it will install the drivers fine
now use odin 3.04 and right click as administrator (disable antivirus or any other conflicting drivers if you have any)
if this dont work and then try installing drivers through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956 here and see if it works but i blv the first one will get you ahead
if nothing works then try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32273406&postcount=5 rescue firmware from here the verison N7100XXDLJ2_OXA_FACTORY as it contain pit file too and go through the flashing process and selecting individual file for flash

Well, I tried all of those and it didn't work. Still getting the same error as before, unless I reboot into downloading mode and immediately plug in the phone to the PC, in which case I get:
"<ID:0/003> File analysis..

Every try after that says the serial error.
I assume that the main issue is the drivers not working right? It says it's been successfully installed and all of that, but then it's not connecting or something? You said to get rid of "temp files", how's the best way to go about that? That could be one of the issues, because I wasn't sure what you meant by that.
If the drivers don't end up working, is the only way to continue trying to fix it to go from a different computer?

i bricked one last week and dr ketan helped me out, i think your drivers are fine. i had to plug in before opening odin, wipe data, wipe partition from recovery, flash pit, if it dont work try another, till pass, then flash with firmware together. double check with ketan. oh an make sure u use rear usb port. pit is in post 4 of his tut.

use your uninstaller software to unistall your drivers as it delete all traces of file . then ccleaner to clean registry and click clean.
go to start menu-run -type %temp% press enter delete all . reboot and install drivers and use the driver version in mentioned and skip upgrade
at this point your driver install will be clean so it should pass the flash remember antivirus as it can block the operation too.
try the rescue firmware

Okay so here's what I did:
Uninstalled drivers and the program (add/remove programs in control panel and in device manager), deleted temp files, restarted computer, reinstalled drivers, not connected to internet so it didn't try to update, opened odin (3.07, from the toolkit) and plugged in the phone into the usb and then turned phone on into download mode, it said it was searching for drivers etc, recognized the phone, showed up in odin, put the pit+4 files from toolkit, and hit to flash.
Now, it's saying (set partition) above the COM 3, and it's hanging on "get pit for mapping.."
It shouldn't be taking a really long time, right? Cause I've heard it's nearly instant...
I'm not sure what the problem is cause it does this the first time, then goes back to the serial issue.
EDIT: This time, I redid everything again and tried Odin 3.04 and it said this:
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Re-Partition operation failed.
<ID:0/003> Added!!
So, it skipped the "getting the PIT file" part, but it failed again. Should I try to do it without the PIT file or something? Like, it's always said that there was no PIT when I did that.

Okay, so I just tried to do everything on a different computer and still not working. Every time it comes up with "Get PIT for mapping" even though I add the PIT for flashing...
Does this mean that my phone is a lost cause? Or is there something else I can try?

Hiiyaa..
Mkk, ive tried all solutions, nothing works..
I was randomly using my S3 on stock software, it shut off and now it will not turn on.. Absolute hard bricked, not even a jig will kick this on..
So i made a recovery sd card, finally it kicked it into dl mode..
PROBLEM:
It tries to write 15988 sectors, then pops up FLASH WRITE FAILURE
ODIN MODE.
SYSTEM STATUS: NONE.
Okay, Ive tried flashing stock rom through odin, it will get close and then pops up the error No PIT partition found..
I tried to flash a pit file, it fails.
Im using a rear usb port, different cables. Nothing works..
I tried to do a nand wipe through odin, it gets to userdata partition and then fails when it tries to repartition..
Im at a loss here, any help will be amazing...
EDIT:
Heres the error that odin is giving me

Some questions you can answer to give more of a frame:
1. What software build are/were you on?
2. If the software had KNOX, had you done anything to attempt to remove/disable it?
3. The firmware was stock, were you also on stock recovery?

[Q] why did I flash a verizon rom.....

So basically my friend soft bricked her AT&T SGH-I747..didn't power on, but could still get into download mode. So I was able to flash a ROM through Odin on it. Sadly, being the idiot I am, I was unaware that her provider was AT&T. So I just found the first stock ROM I found and flashed it. Came to realize it was a Verizon ROM. So i figured I could just find an AT&T stock ROM, and repeat the same process as before to fix it. This has not been the case at all...
My issue is that when I run Odin I keep getting stuck at one part....
<ID:0/007> File analysis..
<ID:0/007> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/007> Initialzation..
<ID:0/007> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/007> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I'm running Odin v3.07. The only boxes checked are Auto Reboot, F Reset Time, and PDA.
I've also tried flashing a PIT file by itself, and with the PDA, and still receive the same results.
Flashing to Verizon did allow me to boot up the phone completely, but I'm unable to do anything on the phone without a proper SIM card to activate it, which I for some reason need...unless I'm just an idiot.
I have no clue at all what firmware was previously running on the phone.
I actually don't know any info about the phone at all software wise, since I can't seem to access any information on the phone.
Someone please help me solve this issue.

You said you were able to boot to system with the VZW firmware? Can you check what you have under your settings especially the Android version and baseband version? You would probably need to reflash AT&T firmware but we would need to know what bootloader version to have to be sure you are able to flash a workable version. I would also suggest you install custom recovery (suggest TWRP) via Odin if you don't have this already. This would enable you remove existing firmware prior to a fresh installation.

Bricked?

I have a problem with my Tab3. When i am in download mode all i get is this. See picture.
I had a problem that the tab always reboots into recovery. So i want to flash a stock firmware. Any ideas?

came from fastdreamV6 rom and odin'd in T210RUEU0COB1_T210RXAC0COB1_HOME .tar .md5
pardon my terminology but i guess you'd say i dirty Odin'd it?> did not wipe or revert.
its where things went wroung for me
soo any ways.. looking for helpful and knowledageble people to begin trouble shooting this issue
after the install it rebooted and showed the tab3 splash screen then android package installer full screen before an OS. when the page installer screen disappeared that was the end of any responsiveness from the device.
mine always boots to black screen. no recovery , no audible/visual anything until odin mode.
always a black screen until i walk through the odin/download mode key' sequence blind
i have only half of what should look like a odin/download mode screen, the android guy has disappeared.
WIN7 does find the tab3 thats in [email protected]$$ odin mode in the device manager
odin also sees the tab3 but odin doesnt want to work to upload anything < hangs at setupconnection.. or pit mapping failed even when i have the new pit file being pushed,

adb .. i currently have no os on the tablet as far as i can tell. maybe somebody can tell me if i can fastboot a command to push a recovery into it. but without adb-communication. i dont see it happening?
i presume i have a corrupted .pit file thats its not allowing me to replace.
OR KITKAT needs its own .pit file and i will need help aquiring one.
or its just a really bad flash alltogether. being boot.img. system img. recover img
how should i proceed if there is a way ? looking to get back to stock 4.4.2.
i can solder and make a usb jig if nessasary.

Note 2 seems bricked after trying to go back to stock firmware. Help needed!

Hi all,
I was using my Galaxy Note 2 with the latest Resurrection Remix ROM, but wanted to revert back to the stock firmware .
I downloaded the latest stock firmware and tried to flash it directly with ODIN.
Unfortunately, the process stopped at about 3/4 of the progress bar. I tried several time, changing USB ports and slots; even computer. After one try, the messages changed and the process stopped event before trying to write with the message : "There is no PIT partition".
The download mode shows the usual warning and download screen. But if I try to go in recovery mode or just boot normally, I get the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue...".
What I've tried so far:
. Flashing several stock firmwares via several version of ODIN.
. Kies upgrades (tried about everything there).
I also tried a PIT file, but got the message: "Re-Partition operation failed".
I really don't know what to try anymore
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
(edit -> oh, and I've also tried with firewall and antivirus out)

What you're trying to flash firmware 4.4.2 i hope, because if you're trying to flash a 4.3 is impossible the downgrade to do so because of Knox!
I was trying 4.4.2.... Does it matter if I was on a 5.x ROM?

Did you try a different USB cable or different Odin version?
Yes, I tried several USB cables and USB ports and PCs and about 10 different Oding version
I'm starting to think it's hopeless
I flashed CWP recovery from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000138
And it worked (at least Odin finished saying it was flashed ok). But if I try to go into recovery, I now get a 'Downloading' screen. When going to download mode, I have the normal screen, with a number of custom binary download increased by 1.
Anyone could advise on next steps I should try?
Thanks!
I managed to get back TWRP v2.8.7.0.
What would be the next steps to try and revert to the stock firmware?? Thanks!!
I used TWRP to reset and wipe everything, then ODIN to flash stock firmware.... And everything is now fine I've got the phone working perfectly with stock firmware!
Thanks!

New problem!! Help ASAP!!

so, i decided to flash back to 5.1.1 but i have unfortunately was not be able to pull this move from some weird error.
After many attempts here's what I've done.
I used the Flashable Tar for 6.0.1 MM and after awhile for my experience i went and tried to flash back to OL1 5.1.1 the latest rev and now i was stuck with Odins "Set Partition" or "BootLoader" wont flash or format nothing phase,
After i rebooted the phone, i noticed i could still access TWRP and Download mode and left with nothing to flash but going to TWRP and charge my phone....
In Twrp i was left with its "Unable to mount" and "Invalid arguement" issues after each little label for trying to mount and everything from the log, i've tried zip from a OTG and that didn't work even sideloading wouldn't help. I was left with nothing and it kept confusing.
My drivers were up to day, i tried a different Odin 10.7 and even tried Kies but that didn't even work so.
I made another attempt with Odin one more time and i was left with this log.
for flashing the 5.1.1 again G920PVPU3BOL1_G920PSPT3BOL1_G920PVPU3BOL1_HOME.tar.md5
it goes to
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> G920PVPU3BOL1_G920PSPT3BOL1_G920PVPU3BOL1_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

It would hang from this point doing nothing, and sometimes even after words it would say "Set Partition" or "Bootloader" in bold, and when i reset the phone to go back into "TWRP" it sends me this response.

I'm ultimately stumped,
So earlier which took about 1-2 hours to finally figure this out, i've tried wiping data,cache and etc or anything for that matter, and then I received a slew of "Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)" and "Unable to mount storage" when trying to flash anything. Surprisingly enough, my internal memory shows up as 0mb aswell, then i went to "Wipe" - "Format Data"- "Yes" and it formatted with it's function and i rebooted back into Twrp it reads its original storage but i'm still left with no way to boot up completely.
sometime after i've tried flashing the 6.0.1 tar and i recieved this
6.0.1\ALL_SPT_G920PVPU3CPB6_G920PSPT3CPB6_CL7280193_QB8664149_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

I have googled around XDA and around the general web, and I see a lot flashing for PIT or extracting the tar to make odin read it and attempt to flash it 1by1 but im not sure how to entirely do that I'd like this to be as easy as possible since i only have very little knowledge for Attempts to solve this.
I am not sure where to find the other files, let alone Bootloader for the MM stock flashable 6.0.1 or the 5.1.1 latest rev, I have the stock tar but not the rest.
I am genuinely asking for help, with someone that has maybe had this issue, or what can be done to solve it.
Any help would be vastly appreciated.
so, i've tried multple tars and nothing has worked for me it is always stuck that one file sboot.bin i've tried the OL1 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 stock tar it just isnt cutting it, BUT what i've notcied is that i was able to flash the Renegade rom in TWRP via OTG and it worked, iwas able to access the phone like usual and everything was written just fine but im still lost as to why it wont flash that sboot.bin file. i practically cant reset or reformat my phone.
How bout restarting the computer, Maybe a differnt one. How many times have you flashed that phone? Maybe this might start happening to others time will tell. personally i dont like odin I only use it only when needed to reset update firmware or recovery update. Its not often. Is your cable wore out hey at least you got the renegade rom and can flash something.
You know you can't downgrade right? Once you update you can't go back.

That is not entirely true. And you can always JTAG back even, lol.

Yes. Regardless, your going to break something if you flash different bootloaders.
how would i be able to do that? i've tried different cables and im now trying the different odin and twrp im scared it will just keep saying sboot.bin forever i mean it was just a simple flash mm6.0.1 tar from the threads not the official one :/ and then downgradin didnt let me is there a way i can log that?
provided any links? or bootloader files?
I was able to flash back to 5.1.1 via offical TAR with no bricking, many people have done the same, granted, usually this isnt possible, but has worked for me many times now on customer devices as well as once on my own, just to test it lol.
can u send me your tar file? by chance?

Here. I did the downgrade 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 too with no problem.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/60059/G920PVPU3BOJ7_G920PSPT3BOJ7_SPR/
So for right now I'm still unable to flash the Tars still. Even with the same and different tar I downloaded. I've tried different cables, computers, I just i don't seem to figure this out.... What do I do? Is there a way to capture an Odin log or even on my phone??
The xmit data writ happens after I restart my phone because it just hangs or freezes on the sboot.bin file or item..... Is there a way to flash it seperately??? I'm still some how running the 6.0.1 renegade custom rom tho and everything else is fine

I recommend getting a pit file and flashing it. You seem to be having partition issues as noted by the TWRP error logs when it tries to mount things.
I made one awhile ago, it's for the 32GB variant if that's what you have try and Google search for it. Don't ask me for it because I'll have to Google search too but don't have the time right this second.

So you flashed the PIT file then flashed Stock TAR and it all worked?

So what did we learn from this? Always make a nandroid?

Nandroid can't restore partition information. Only PIT can lol.
