Hello there,
I am new to this forum so tell me if I do something wrong
Today I decided to flash a custom ROM ( I already rooted it... ) and wanted to enter recovery mode to make a backup etc. etc.
But when I held Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button it first showed the samsung note II text and then started flickering with something like brown stripes...
Does anyone knows what it is and what the solution is for it?
Thanks in advance,
Ahmed
If you wanted to make a backup you should have a custom recovery so which one?
Which firmware or custom rom do u currently have?

I tried to flash the TWRP recovery with goomanager ( is it good and reliable? ), but the problem still appeared...
I will jump if someone could help me out of this
Thanks!
EDIT:
Can doing these kinds of things brick my phone or is my phone already bricked? ( the phone can start normally and works )

I seem to have messed my SGNII again I didn't do anything strange - just wanted to reboot into recovery, but instead of pressing pwr+volup+home I thought it easier to do from an app. So I searched for an app to do that and found that Titanium backup as option to reboot into recovery. So I selected reboot->recovery, and my phone rebooted and now it is stuck on SGNII GT-N7100 screen... I pulled battery out and nothing, tried to press pwr+volup+home, nothing, pwr+voldn+home works and gets me into dowload mode.
What should I do? Pls, ASAP I need my phone!!! Thanx!
Really strange. I suggest you to boot into Safe mode to see if you can go to the OS or flash wia Odin your custom recovery if you have one or your stock version.
The global solution would be to flash a stock firmware of course.

I never try this option in TB app and I will never use it frow now
With TWRP Recovery there's a great app to manager backup/restore, wipe, flash... so FYI: TWRP Manager

You have Andromizer, Rom Toolbox, Rom manager...
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
There are some more apps that you can go into recovery for example an app called "Quick Boot (Reboot)" if you don't want to use rom manager, or rom toolbox.
And I had strange issue with Titanium Backup too, just when I used SlimBean Weekly Rom and I wanted just to backup my Nova launcher and power toggles apps, so strangely my phone went into bootloop and I had to wipe everything to get it to work again...
Need a little help......I wanted to instal ProBam Rom and I thought i had last recovery (I use Philz Touch) but i guess i didn't.....Now phone freeze when booting and I can't boot even to recovery....I backup everything but I need advice how to enter recovery...
Thanks :fingers-crossed:

Hi, I had a similar problem a day ago, I corupted CWM and couldn't boot into android, When i started my phone a samsung logo appeared and then black screen, I could access download mode ( Power button, Volume - and home button ) So all you do after you enter download mode is download Odin multi downloader, and a flashable ClockworkMOD recovery, ( PM me if you want links ) and flash it into the phone, after that just reboot the phone and you will be just fine.
Press the Thanks button if i helped

Hey,
First put your phone into download mode and plug it in to your PC and make sure Odin recognizes it, then add Ancora.ops in the OPS window and the recovery.tar.md5 in the One package window. Also make sure that One package , Auto reboot and Protect OPS are checked, you should uncheck reset time because i've hear that it is causing some problems. Then just click the " Start " button and sit back, you phone will be back on in few minutes.
Just a question : Did you have any android installed when you corrupted the recovery? If yes, after you flashed the recovery the phone will reboot and will boot into android, if not then just flash the rom file if you already have one in your sdcard/internal storage.
Your phone is soft-bricked, don't worry, it will be back and running again :laugh:
I just corrupted my recovery on my phone on purpose to try if the cwm recovery works. And yes, it worked, so it should work on your phone too.
Good luck flashing your recovery, Please answer back because I want to know if this method worked.
Here are the files, just extract the rar file
Finally i have KitKat!!
Finally Solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After long days and hundred tries, it works finally. The story is as below:
1- I failed to download the CWM 6.0.4.5 directly in this state using ODIN,
2- I downloaded the stock (Yes old 2.3.6 ginger bread ROM) using ODIN. However this version keep rebooting and never completed the start up.
3- With ROM installed now (even it's not booting), i tried to download older version of CWM using ODIN (CWM 5.0.4). It was successful!!
4- I tried to do the restore for my old system, but it failed as i did backup with newer version.
5- I flashed Monster ROM (4.2.2), it works wonderful.
6- I downloaded the CWM 6.0.4.5 finally using ODIN.
7- Now i'm using 4.4.2 on my mobile finally.
Advice: Never do a flashing to your mobile when you are not fully concentrating what you are doing. Also, make sure to download the right tool and ROM for your device.
Thank you for everyone who tried to help me.

If you guys like a tough challenge then I may have one for you because I'm screwed right now
I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 2
I was on Synergy ROM
I wanted KitKat
I tried to Flash Omnirom for weeks with no success using TWRP
I read that the best recovery was Philz so I downloaded and flashed it
From Philz recovery I again tried to flash OmniRom with
gapps and failed again
I did not do a specific Philz backup as I already had one with TWRP (perhaps my big mistake)
Now, I can't restore my TWRP backup
I cant get to TWRP recovery
I cant boot my phone at all
Please, I'm hoping for a miracle here
Can anyone direct me?

Hi,
I did a similar thing to myphone. Called Samsung and was told to do this?
Hold the buttons like you are going into recovery mode. When you signs of life (it starting to power up), RELEASE the power button, but keep holding down home and vol +. This got me into stock recovery...hope this helps you.
Then just start all over...

Try using odin and flashing philz 6.07.9 ... to access twrp backups in philz select backup/restore then advanced options the check twrp. Now it will restore your twrp backups.

Did you get your phone back?
Rosy,I got my phone back briefly but wasnt able to get it to reset like yours
I ended up using odin to flash a version of TWRP that did override Philz recovery but everytime I switched batteries and restarted the phone it had all kinds of issues until today, when it died altogether. Now Im back where I started
On vacation and heading home tomorrow so Ill try Odin again.
That guy Phil never did reply to my issue in his own thread. Thats kind of rude
If everything else that you tried has failed why not flash a Stock Rom and start over from scratch or check out this post by @billard412 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 this has helped me bring my phone back to "life" a few times
Hoping this might help you too to bring your phone back to life

Probably recovery didn't get installed if You are not able to boot into it. Try using another recovery.
