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.
Odin factory stock. Should fix it right up.

Thing is im kinda new to android so i dont know what most of this stuff is, but i own a mac if that's gonna make a difference.
There is a guide section in the general and the Development sections. Go by there and have a look. 20 mins or less and you can be up and running stock

I tried using CWM recovery but it says error
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.

Don't believe this is an update. This is simply the stock firmware that came with the phone. It might come in handy if/when something goes terribly wrong and a backup won't fix your issue.

I'm not exactly sure if this is the stock tar or not.....
BUT if it is, you should be able to just restore your stock nandroid and pull out the recovery file and put that in the pda slot of odin.
Or just put the entire tar in the pda slot... looking for some confirmation on this

I'm just concerned about whether that Device Status field in the About Phone settings is something that is stored underneath the OS and can't be changed once you flash something. This would be an easy indicator that the phone has been messed with and clear void of warranty for normally clueless reps even if you do a return to stock type flash. Before I rooted, it said "Factory Mode“ but now says "Modified“. I haven't touched anything else other than flashing CWM and Superuser.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I bought a note i317m off craiglist and he had flashed a verizon rom on a rogers (i think) canadian phone.
I went back to 4.1.1 and performed the free unlock. It read my sim fine, i made calls, connected to LTE, etc.
I flashed a 4.2.2 rom and now i cant get it to read any sim i put in to it (all the sims work and some were active)
imei under phone info matches the sticker
Can anyone recommend a way to completely restore this phone. Format the entire sd and start fresh?
Ok from that model# that shows sounds like someone or who ever you got it from, flashed a Verizon Rom on there?? Because that's there model#for there GN2.

You'll just have to wipe your internal STORAGE. But just back up anything that you'll like to keep. If you use Odin back to stock then, there will be nothing on your phone!! Afterwards

Yes you do it thru recovery! If that's the one that you want to use(Rom) then no need to re flash anything.. but you will have to set it back up again. But I do recommend TWRP it's a lil easier to use to me personally! But I'm say use what your use to using! Then there's no problems lol.
Don't forget to grab (back up)what you want off the phone b4 you do this wipe:what:. Because your going to lose everything. I've just done this recently, meaning cleaning out my phone completely!

phone cant read sim, see first post for details
Hello all
I used Max Lee's method at http://galaxynote3root.com/ to root my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and it worked fine. I needed to test deleting some KNOX files so before I did that, I made a restore file within CWM which turned out to be a tad over 3GB. Then I tested deleting the KNOX files and everything seemed to be working alright. I happened to also try out ...Awesome...'s AwesomeBeats v4 Black mod and ran into it stopping unexpectedly.
I decided then it would be best if I just restored the phone to earlier so I rebooted into CWM recovery and chose to restore with the 3GB file I made earlier. It seemed to compile fine but when I chose to reboot, it would get stuck in a reboot loop.
I've tried wiping the dalvik-cache as well as the regular cache to no avail. I was even desperate enough to try wipe data factory reset with the same resulting bootloop. I then went into the advanced restore options and tried to restore boot, system, cache separately all to no resolution.
Any help you all can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Odin back to stock?

Thanks, itsjusttim.
For anyone who may have the same issue in the future, I just went to Samsung Update website and downloaded the firmware for my specific model on T-Mobile here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900T
They have all of the other firmwares for the Note 3 listed there as well. After that, you unzip the file and flash the resulting tar.md5 file in ODIN.

Thanks, I hope this works, I've tried everything and can not get my phone to work. Bootlooping also.
Odin is generally the fix all failsafe for Samsung phones...

I've tried everything. Nothing works. I've Odined, use kies, nand delete all, install twrp, CWM, factory resets from all recoveries. Flashed deodexed stock image. Absolutely nothing works.

Did it turn off mid flash when using Odin? It's kinda hard to mess up Odin unless your device has very low battery.
Try Odin again, make sure you know how to use it though.

I tried it at least a dozen times, different downloads of stock image, kernel, kies, everything. Battery was near full, no shut offs. Nothing went wrong.

Unfortunately. Pounding headache too. Didn't stop trying to get this to work until 330 this morning, woke up at 830, been trying since. I give up.

Just use Odin, using other things can screw it up further...
As long as it is booting, even though it's a loop, it's still salvageable.
Download the Odin .tar from here:

Make sure you have the most current version of Odin.

I tried that, multiple times. No go. I'm not the only one either, there were two others with the same issue. We restored from twrp, bootloop city.

Try this video from Max Lee. Even though he's talking about the Note 2, it helped me get out of my Note 3's boot loop. Listen to the things that pertain to your situation only and make sure you follow ALL of those particular steps. When it wasn't working for me initially, it's because I didn't follow exactly what he did. He may seem like he's kind of out of it in this video. but Max has repeatedly helped me get out of my rooting woes. He's definitely on point!
I hope it helps you... if you're stuck in a boot loop. I know you said you can't restore but I'm assuming you tried and you're as a result stuck in an incessant boot loop.

I have two note 3, I rooted one and installed all my apps, mods, etc... then I created a twrp backup... I copied the twrp backup to the other note 3 (inside the twrp folder) and I restored... Voila, a perfect clone.
Do you have more than one twrp backup or you are just trying the same one always? (besides odin and bla bla...) What if someone gives you another twrp backup to try?
Also... Your situation makes me remember myself with the Note 2... I bricked my note 2 and I wasn't able to recover it... I did all I could possibly imagine just like you... (I was crying on the inside) But I ended up saving the phone by flashing a Samsung odin firmware from the International version... Believe it or not, that worked for me.
Just giving ideas, trying to help...
