Your best bet is if you received the instructions on xda contact the person who posted the instructions via IM or how they wish to be contacted. If you made a backup try to reboot into recovery mode and restore your backup to before you made the change. To get to recovery mode hold volume up+down+power+home button. Hope this helps. As always hit thanks button to those who help it costs nothing.

i had the same issue very simple to solve it just pull out the battery and wait for 30 seconds press vol up + home button + the swith on/off button and put the battery back release the buttons once the screen is on and then reset to factory ...
Try to root again using easy root method

Hi and thanks a bunch for the reply....
the battery reset part didin't work...I have tried the method you mentioned the easy method...where you push the CWM recovery file to the device through ODIN...now I hvae the CWM based recovery v6.0.1.4, I have factory reset the devvice through CWM as well and rebooted the phone through there..but still stuck on samsung logo..I think the phone doesn't have any ROM to boot from...I have the stock .tar file for this phone but how should I send it to phone? CWM says to 'install .zip/update file" from external sd card...
my stock file is .tar and it has boot.img inside...also if anyone know a place where I can find my ROM, please tell me that as well....
please tell me what should I do now...waiting for your reply...
Dude just use the emergency recovery vie kies, return to stock.
If possible. Save all cwm files to computer. If you were smart you made a backup image to you ext sd or recovery image we.
Gonna be a huge file be about ten min to save to pc.
Save the entire cwm folder. Yes everything .
Save to your pc.
Use kies emergency recovery.
Re root phone.
Install cwm recovery.
Make a recovery img.(jic you f.u. again lol)
Now put ext sd card in phone
Boot to recovery and try the recovery images again.
If nothing else your phone should be back to stock.
Worked for my gs3.

Do exactly as I say.
Download a sock rom from here. Link:-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696&highlight=cf+autoroot
After downloading go into donwload mode by pressing volume down+home button+ power key(in this order)
Connect phone via USB and open ODIN.
VIa the PDA option browse to the stock rom you downloaded and click Start and then wait till the rom is flashed. This should do it,
After flashing download this for rooting and extract the file to tar

On a more serious note, i have the International version of Note 2 so dont know much about other variants.
Sorry
There are 2 variants of the Note 2. GT7100 and GT7105. Which one do you have exactly? Go into settings, about device, and Model number....
After you determine which one you have, unless it is a carrier specific one from America, just flash the stock gt7105 one or the gt7100 one from here...

Yo dude sorry I misunderstood what you said, for w/e reason i thought your recovery was borked and not that you were bricked.
SO listen first off dont be afraid of using odin, its not rocket science and you wont bork it up anymore than it already is.
out of curiosity do you happen to use rom manager?
IF so ditch that pos ap, and just stick with recovery like the cwm or twrp.
i found this for you and hope it helps you out.
keep searching and trying dont give up youll get it eventually.
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/
basically what the poster above me said, you're only going to be able to do recovery via odin.
its not a big deal just follow instructions.
hope the link helps.

[Q] Help!

I was installing a font with a program named Font Manager on my Galaxy Note II and it told me to reboot, so when I rebooted, it got stuck on the Samsung Logo. I wanted to install the original fonts with ADB but then I saw that the android recovery is opening. I don't know why it doesn't open, I tried all combinations and only volume+ and power button did something(except for volume- and powerbutton that goes to download mode) and I'm pretty sure it has to open the recovery but it doesn't reach the Samsung Logo when I press those buttons, it goes to the Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 logo and then something weird happens. The logo gets disorted and another logo appears. then it gets restarted.
I am rooted.
I don't want to install a custom ROM, and I don't think I can either, because I can't go to any recovery.
I tried installing CWM and TWRP to reset from there, but, the same problem happens; I can't even reach the samsung logo.
And also, when I pull out the battery it automatically turns on so I have to do everything faaaaaaaaast.
I don't want to download the stock ROM because it's like 1GB and my net is very slow. Right now I'm getting the toolbox so maybe it can do something.
Can I do something like install the default fonts from Odin? PLEASE HELP

Only available option is download stock ROM and flash it and once done you will have to then ROOT and get custom ROM,
Even the tool kit wont be of any help in this situation.
I am getting the Stock ROM now, but, why doesn't recovery work on my phone?

This is a common issue most of the times if its in Bootloop you may not be able to get into recovery , Technically even i dont know reason behind this it could be that the stock recovery may be corrupted .

Phone stuck at android logo

I searched the forums and Didn't find any answers that were helpful..So i am opening a thread..
I am using a huwaei ascend p6 using android 4.2.2, not sure about the kernel versions..
My phone suddenly restarted and is stuck at the android logo ..Its not booting up , it keeps restarting when i press the power button. I can access the recovery mode..
Can the experts please guide me on how i can get my phone to boot up and working..?
Download the update file and put it on a sdcard and in the phone, then install through recovery. The steps were discussed in detail recently, look around a bit.
ps: You will use your data.
Good luck!
Or do a factory reset from stock recovery. To boot on it press and hold all three HW keys or with > adb reboot recovery command from a PC.

I have tried the factory reset , but shows failed to mount the data
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2566453
This thread in particular has all the links and tools in one place. Also there are other usefull threads in the General subforum.
I haven't dealt with a bricked phone, and thus don't want to give you any false instructions and complicating the situation any further. I am running the B125 firmware, I think it's pretty good, if not the best so far.

Can you give more details to what you have you installed on your phone prior to encountering this issue?Is your phone official upgraded to 4.3 and then rooted?or you rooted it when on 4.1.2 and downloaded a custom 4.3 ROM? Which ROM are you trying to flash?which recovery are you using?

[Q] TWRP + OTA update = bootloop! help needed!

Hello everyone,
Today showed up on my Gpad an update that automatically started to download.
So I thought ''if it is downloading, why don't I give it a try?''
Big mistake.
I am rooted with TWRP 2.7.0.0 and stock 4.4.2 rom..
My Gpad after I press confirm it tried to reboot. After the device shut down and try to power on, it stuck in a bootloop on TWRP.
Every time I try to power it off and then power it back on it starts on TWRP and stay there even if I press reboot on TWRP it does the same loop.
After this idiotic move of mine I would like to have help from someone who knows how to restore the device..
Also is there any way to restore the device in TWRP or to do the update manually from the file that is already downloaded in my device
(from TWRP)?
Any help would be very very appreciated!

Did you not make a back up after rooting your tablet? If so, simply restore from your backup.
generally, it is advised that before you update a rooted device's ROM, to create a nandroid backup first, just to be sure. As OTA's from non-OEM's aren't as stable as OEM's, nor do they provide warranty if you get stuck in a boot loop. To fix the issue, download your ROM image to the "root" of your microSD, go to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik cache, then try to install the ROM image. If it still fails, I'm afraid you may need to do a fresh install (wipe the device fully, before making a fresh install of your ROM.). This should fix your problem, though you loose your data. Unfortunately, thats one of the risks of modifying our devices. One that I had to learn the hard way (by hard, I mean hard brick).
At any rate, hope this helps.
Thanks for the quick reply guys!
I have not made a backup of my files.
So now I'm downloading slimkat for a little change..
(also is there a way to create a backup of my files with TWRP and restore them on Slimkat?)
[UPDATE]
I wiped cache / dalvik and then install the Slimkat ROM but the same problem persists, then I did a factory reset from TWRP
and then install the ROM, but still the same
Is there any way to unroot your device from the PC?

I don't have my tablet with me to check for you, however, I am pretty sure I found a file explorer within TWRP. Perhaps you may be able to copy from there. Explore the tool abit its quite user friendly and well made. Otherwise, you can make a nandroid backup to create a full backup of your system and try to extract from PC via WinRAR (if the backup is in tar), or some explorer app... see below for details:

Thanks for the tip, I'm sure it will help me in a future failure!
I have already done everything you said without succeeding anything ,so I'm trying to un-brick it with LG's support tool
and I can not get it to recognize my connected Gpad, so I put manually the model and serial number but still it can't see any connected devices...
Now I'm 100% stuck :/

sorry for what happened. have you tried to wipe all data, and all cache then try to do a fresh rom installation? I am not sure why LG cannot see your device. But a wild guess is its something about your recovery because its no longer stock perhaps???
if you can reach recovery, you should be able to fix the issue by wiping all the data (except external SD), wiping all cache (including dalvik), then install your custom ROM. Have happened to me already although different cause from yours but I was still able to restore it although I did loose all my data. But as I said before, its the price to pay for tinkering with our devices.
Hello guys,
Same problem for me, Stock 4.4.2 with TWRP, the OTA update make my GPad boot only on TWRP, no way to get my system back.
I try this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772902
Successful My GPad is booting correctly on Android !
Damn!! I read to late your answer, I install a couple of minutes ago the complete stock 4.4.2 V50020d from LG's support tool.
In a previous post I said I was stuck but not really.. I forgot that I have to press volume + and volume - while connectiong the USB cable to enter download mode
But everyone having the same problem with me should really give a try to what JaymZ37 said above.
Peace to everyone and thanks for your replies!
