[Q] Galaxy Note 2 No OS installed error - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I recently have a huge problem with my Galaxy Note 2. By mistake i delete all data from external/internal memory and now only thing i can do is go to TWRP mode. But i'm not able install custom rom or stock software cause TWRP always say: failed.
I try ADB push and it's also didn't work, i think phone is not rooted anymore somehow. But i may be mistaken about that one.
I also try Odin, but i'm not able put phone in download mode, it's just don't work. And simle put files on external/internal memory also don't work, keep saying : failed, when i try install zip
I search internet, and for some reason nothing works for me.
i even try install supersu trough TWRP but it's change nothing, so if anyone can help me will be great. or i stay with nice piece of usless tech in hand :-/
I just try again, and reason to fail is phone can't check MD5, keep saying: no MD5 file found.

The problem is that when i try go in download mode i don't have any error or anything, just phone awake, screen get gray and that's it, nothing happen. ONLY thing i can do with phone is go in recovery mode, TWRP. And then i can only reboot in recovery, bootloader do nothing, restart do nothing, i got message No OS installed. but when i try restart, phone ask to install supersu, and if i say yes, nothing happen. Need take out battery and go in TWRP again. There is nothing in phone. just TWRP.
i just try flash philz, phone boot again in TWRP. nothing change

If possible, than try(AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!) to flash CWM(ClockWorkMod) via ODIN and than (do a backup before that!!!) do a full wipe. After that is done, enter Download mode and flash again.

As already suspected, this is probably a defect of mainboard. You will have to send it to Samsung Service Point. This could still be a warranty case, but from here on only Samsung can help you.
greets

Can you enter into cwm recovery mode. If you can then I don't think there s way. Coz it'll show you tat you've rooted ur phone. If you can't then go to service center and pretend to them that you haven't even heard the word root in your whole life. Tel them that you just tried to update thru kies nd it got bricked. No other way my friend.

Note- your phone shd be within warranty period. Then it'll be replaced. I haven't done tis. But, heard from guys who did it.

What I see is that she's not having problem with bricking phone, so.. no need imo..
She just need to reflash... I believe she got wrong package when flashing? Like broken package.
Try checking http://www.samfirmware.com/
get a stock rom of your country / other, and reflash it with correct settings...
That should do it

i download the firmware from samfirmware, its impossible its if the firmware broken or something, and i already do a correct steps, and i know how to flash guys , just dont understand why this still could happend, maybe mainboard problem or the battery?

Hi Irish..
Sorry for late response
I'm not going to get everybody afraid but want to make them AWARE
Basically i wanna explain more about the "BRICKING"
There are soft brick and hard brick
SOFT BRICK
Soft brick cause by bad installation :
Corrupted file
Bad flashing way
Power off while flashing
Soft brick will cause the phone wont load the OS, the characteristic are
After booting, couldn't load OS after the logo shown and keep the screen blank
After booting and get into OS, suddenly system crash and reboot
You can go thru reboot mode and download mode
This issue can be fixed by re-flashing your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
HARD BRICK
Hard brick cause by:
Broken Hardware
Very-very wrong way of flashing
What really cause this ?
It's the damaged "ADB Interference Driver" that caused the device cannot give any command to system. In example your device wont reboot after flashing although ODIN has sent reboot command
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The characteristic are:
If your hardware damaged, your system will crash all over the time meanwhile you already re-flash but it cannot fixed
Your device have a boot loop and unable to go to recovery mode
Hah.. very wrong way flashing ?
Some device (Galaxy Ace & Galaxy 3 Apollo) have firmware that included with automatically system/data/cache format. They will not experience* this hard brick because the firmware doing cleaning before flashing
Sometime user not aware of this
They just go right away then flashing, this can cause hard brick
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How about Wonder ?
No, wonder firmware not included this command so you must clean data/system/cache first
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to fix this hard brick ?
Until now i didn't get any way to fix it, because it linked to damaged "ADB Interference Driver" so you cannot use any command in your device
It this happen you should go to Samsung Service Center
How to Flash Correctly (Custom ROM)
Make a full back up of your device & apps
Do full wipe on data/system/cache
Flash your latest stock ROM
Get Root access & CWM Recovery
Download your ROM correctly make sure not get corrupted
Make sure to copy it to primary SD card (no need to swap)
Make sure you have 85-100 battery or in charged with 85-100 power available

Click to collapse
I hope it help
Download your ROM correctly make sure not get corrupted
Rio, is there any way to check it?

Yes, if the uploader publises a MD5 checksum. Than you, as downloader, will be able to check the MD5 checksum of the downloaded file.
If not available I think all you can do to minimize the chance of not getting a corrupted file is by checking the size of the downloaded files and the one which is displayed at the filehoster. Other option would be to download the file twice and compare the MD5 checksum of the both files. if they are same everything is fine, if not ...

I learned Cryptography System before. I know the function of Md5 check sum. It is a "digest" of host file. BUT it can only check the integrity of the file. If the original file has already corrupted before making its md5, u won't know anyway.

Help with bricked Note 2

Hello.. So today I attempted to flash a new version of TWRP for installing cleanrom and it bricked my phone. I can get into download mode though
So using ODIN i've been trying to install custom recoveries. Everytime it says pass, but I cannot get a recovery to show up. If I hold up, power and home buttons, the Galaxy note 2 will flash (as if its about to load a recovery) but then just goes back to galaxy note 2 screen. I can still make it to download mode, but cannot seem to get anywhere else.
Also, currently there is no rom on my phone.
Please help!
Thanks,
AC

I think it is separate. The last thing I had was beanstalk with neak kernel. Then I wiped everything (not sure if that affect kernel or not) to prepare for cleanrom.
How do I use odin to start fresh?

Install a factory image (probably with root and custom recovery) then proceed to flash whatever from there.

Oh sorry, I wasn't sure what the term bricked actually encompassed. I guess I was stuck in bootloop then.
Well, good and bad news. I got out of the bootloop, and finally got twrp installed on my phone. I did a recovery of beanstalk and also a fresh install of cleanrom. While they boot, they both have been going extremely slowly. Also just loading into recovery is taking super long. I don't know why. I am also not getting any signal, I can however connect to wifi. Anyone have any ideas or any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks again!

Just tried it out and it had the same problem. installed with ODIN no problem, but I still have no signal and it is still running very choppy.
When I go to mobile networks in settings it tells me "Insert SIM card to access network services" I have a sim and have tried reinserting it multiple times. I don't know whats going on. Also, it seems I do not have any internal storage. It says 200mb in storage that are fully used. When I have cleared everything but the rom.
I may attempt to return the phone tomorrow.

nope a lot of people have that problem you have to remove your sim card and sd card and flash again then reboot i have seen people do this 3 times to clear all the bad flashes stuck on there phones make sure to factory reset too after by being off then hold down home power and volume up when you see the words pop up let go of all but volume up get into the system setting there factory all and restart then once you give it about 10 min put you sim card and sd card back and before wipe the sd card it has been know to cause some problems if that all doesn't work then ya maybe there is something else
good luck

Thanks for the recommendation but I've previously tried the method, but my phone always failed to download (even when it wasnt rooted) would u have any other way of solving it without having to use odin. . . my phone is currently stuck in recovery mode so any help trying to get out of it would be helpful. .thank you for your time helping me solve my issue
Put the correct ROM on your external sd card with a PC adaptor. Install the card, boot into recovery, wipe system and data, then install the correct ROM. Boot, let rhe phone settle in for a few minutes, connect to wifi, or check if the correct ROM has the at&t APN settings.

Ranger is correct, try doing what he suggested.
But not really understanding what you have tried from your post.....
Which method, and what does fail to download?
Do you mean fail to get into download mode, and you only can get into recovery?
Are you doing this to get to download mode?
Put your Note 2 in Download Mode
-First you will need to turn off your device.
-Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button.
-Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up.
-Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Obviously you want to press the volume up. Now you are ready to ODIN flash.

i would have tried ODIN for this situation but everytime i do. It says "FAILED" how would you suggest i fix this so that my phone can use ODIN. I was going from cyanogenMod to a custom ROM, but i assume i didnt flash the old ROM and now i kinda stuck in a bootloop like it'll show the samsung intro then show the customROM emblem stays there. I've left it in that state for a whole night and it didnt change (still showing the custom ROM emblem) the only thing i can do is enter TWRP v2.6.3.1 and access my external SD.

Sorry bout that. . just tried to connect my phone to ODIN in ODIN MODE. I'll update with what happened.
Just got done trying to flash with ODIN, and it got the part where it starts to install but 4 mins. in my device was removed. I was using the PDA from sammobile.com, and now my phone is saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." i know it might be as simple as actually doing what it says but Kies will not recognize my At&t samsung galaxy note II. What would u suggest to let my laptop recognize my device??

Put the correct ROM on your external sd card with a PC adaptor. Install the card, boot into recovery, wipe system and data, then install the correct ROM. Boot, let rhe phone settle in for a few minutes, connect to wifi, or check if the correct ROM has the at&t APN settings.

Thank you for your time helping me with my phone issue. I took the steps you suggested, now im running custom ROM jellybean 4.1.1. and got my service provider back. If you could suggest away to get my stock program and upgrade to jellybean 4.3. I had fun with the rooted life but i make the worst mistakes.
PS. i found it to be alot easier using the other tar. in the firmware u suggested me to use. At least for At&t Samsung Galaxy Note II

So i just flashed my at&t Samsung galaxy note II with jellybean 4.1.1 using Odin ( ATT_I317UCAMA4_I317ATTAMA4) and it was going on with everything working. Then i tried to update to jellybean 4.3 after it got done installing it rebooted, and what do u know, i'm stuck in boot loop the Samsung galaxy note 2 logo, and cant access recovery mode. Also I tried the original firmware that used repeatedly,would that hurt the system. Would there be any firmwares suggested to use.

yes it updated and installed but after it installed and rebooted its in
a constant boot loop. Is this going to be a simple permanent fix?

Boot it holding the volume up button. This should get you into so-called "recovery" where you can, among other things, restore it to defaults.
If recovery also doesn't work (which would be unusual), boot it holding volume DOWN button. This will get you into a "download" mode where you can use ODIN to flash new recovery (such as CWM recovery which is very nice and powerful), or even flash entire firmware from scratch.
Good luck, let us know how it goes ~
[edit] oh and do all that while having it connected to USB power, in case the battery is empty.
still doesnt work

Anything doesn't work , When I boot while holding HOME and volume up (recovery) appears the blue advice in the upper left corner and about 2 segs after the cellphone restart again, again and so on, When I boot with the down (download) the process on kies working good but when ends the cellphone restart again, again and so on. I'm start to think that something in the hardware is damage :crying:
looks like you messed something up there...
Anyway, if your phone is rooted, and/or you don't care about warranty you can get it in download mode (you said it works fine with kies until reset, so I suppose it means that download mode is at least accessible).
And after that use Odin to reinstall the stock rom completely.
Or, again with Odin install custom recovery, and then whatever ROM you like.
While working with odin, be sure to stick to the guides here on XDA. (for a custom recovery see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980)

If you're not entirely stock you'll have trouble using Kies.
I myself had trouble when tried to revert to stock ROM from CM.
It failed to restore NANDroid backup every time, and I also didn't succeed in flashing the stock image with Odin as well.
In the end, I succeeded with this ROM (which is modified stock TW), usin ODIN. You can try this, just read and understand the instructions in the thread before you do anything.
Ironically, after a couple of days after reverting to stock rom I was so annoyed by the speed decrease compared to CM, that I reinstalled CyanogenMod back, found TouchWiz stuff I missed via separate apps, and I'm pretty happy with it ever since.
Bottom Line: anyways, if you already on custom stuff with altered warranty, you must get custom recovery working first, then it will be simple.

[Q] And I mannage to soft brick....

Hey guys me again, I have been trying since 2 hours to unbrick my 2 days old Galaxy tab s 10.5, After successfully rooting my new tablet I decided to make a back up of my stock system, I used TWRP recovery to do so, after booting successfully on TWRP, I wanted to make sure I will have a clean image, I manually erased every possible thing on my table by selecting every option on TWRP, once done and on my way to reboot, before quitting TWRP warn me that there wasnt any system, and even with this warning I quit. Result I bricked my tablet hopefully "soft", to get even better I remembered that I didnt had a micro sd card on my tablet and by consequence I must have erase TWRP and every possible restore solution, the table get stuck with the Boot logo and thats it... I can get at least into download mode,. I tried Kies 3 but Im getting an error that my device is not recognized and for Odin I do think is connected but I dont know how to use or what to install or what to do. And I don't get it why my program seems so buggy and I can´t select any of those options.
at least I could root my phone easily.
ps: I did try every possible combination to get into recovery mode and is just impossible there is no way.
if anybody rescue me I seriously cant thank you enough I googled around and did search a lot on the XDA forums, I'm now more scared to tweak around and make things worst , and maybe if not to late permanently dammage it.

So the big problem is that after I manually selected every option System etc... can´t remenber but I do know I did wipe out EVERY SINGLE THING, And I did exit even receiving a WARNING you dont have a SYSTEM.... and I did yes quit.... Than to find myself stuck on the samsung logo and being totally blocked since than, I discovered with regret that I actually DIDNT had a Micro SD card and I did wipe out everything including the Restore program if Im getting it right.... I dont know if its already to late and I can go cry on a corner for waisting 500$ in 2 days or is there anything I could do ???, I can get at least into download mode,. I tried Kies 3 but Im getting an error that my device is not recognized and for Odin I do think is connected but I dont know how to use my Zip unofficial downloaded rom and install.

Hey maxal, thx for replying, my English is really not the best, if you think its not understandable I will re edit and try again.
You will need to find and download your firmware from Sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T800/BTU/
and use odin to reflash your stock firmware.
Read this too. http://theunlockr.com/2014/08/09/how-to-unroot-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-s-10-5-wifi/
TURNING THE DARNED THING OFF:
Here's the problem. If you are at the Samsung splash screen or boot looping Recovery, you cannot turn your tablet off by just pressing the power button and you can't pull the battery. This prevents you from getting back into Recovery or download mode to restore your nandroid backup or use Odin
So here is what you do:
1) Plug your tablet into your computer (this is important!).
2) Hold down the home, volume down and power buttons until you boot into download mode. Once you are prompted, push the volume up button to enter download mode completely.
3) Now, once in download mode, hold down the power and volume down buttons (not the home button this time) until you screen goes blank (your tablet MUST be plugged into your computer for this to work!). Release the buttons and you will see the battery symbol on your screen. Your tablet is now off - thank god.
4) To enter Recovery mode, hold the home, volume up and power buttons down until Recovery loads.
5) Restore your nandroid backup if you have one.

Thank you so much Maxal I will do it so, indeed the text was terribly written I tried to make it better and more understandable, I read that actually Kies was the way to go for flashing back a bricked device, and odin was actually a risky thing, is that right ?

I believe kIes is for stock unrooted devices and Odin is for rooted devices, I may be wrong. I did get my self in a mess and I was stuck on the Samsung logo and with the help of the forum and what I have told you I managed to get my Tab S to turn off, I then boot in to download mode and used Odin to flash stock firmware again
all right almost done downloading the firmware, could you give me the tutorial you followed for bringing your tablet back to life ? or any good tutorial, Helping me to get out

I don't know which firmware you should have as I don't know where you are from, but I don't think it should make much difference, the firmware I gave the link for is the UK one.
Maybe someone else can help with a link for the correct firmware for you.

But please keep in mind for the future that the load to your Tab better the original firmware that corresponds to its original CSC Region code. This can help you avoid some of the problems in the firmware flashing. How it may be defined, you can read in this thread:

Hi maxal,
Download via KIES will not check root If you do not connect the tablet to a PC. It only checks the serial number and model type of your Tab for search new updates firmware with determine the correct CSC Region code. You can even download the correct firmware by KIES to your PC without having to connect the tablet and then save the file firmware (this requires some tricks) and flash it via Odin. To do this, you need only enter the serial number and model type of the device in KIES menu Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation. More details have here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58527780&postcount=5
In this case you no need connect the tablet to PC. It also confirms ashyx here:
