Hi everyone,
I have a problem with the phone where my notification LED is constantly on (Red). Even if I take out my battery, and re-insert the LED immediately comes on as soon as the battery makes contact.
So, I need to take the phone back to EE as it's under warranty.
But, I'm on the Custom Beanstalk ROM. So, I've tried to Flash the Stock ROM (Downloaded from SamMobile) using ODIN, by following the instructions in the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032849
But, now when the phone restarts it seems to be in loop, as all it does is keep bringing up the Samsung logo.
What's gone wrong? Some quick help is great as I have only today to take the phone back to EE.
Also, When I get into the Download Mode, I still see the options at the top left hand corner as Custom, Yes (6 something), Samsung Binary
Please help!!!

UPDATE: After having retried the process, without checking the Auto Reboot option in ODIN, I have now successfully managed to install Stock, and it's rebooted fine.
But, I still one issue when I get into the Download Mode: What I see is:
PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7105
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (6 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
All looks ok, except the Flash Counter. How do I set that to 'No'
Run triangle away before you unroot then uninstall Supersu. I think that's it. If you have uprooted all ready you will have to root again. I'm pretty sure dr ketan has written a guide

Can someone please help me? I had never rooted my galaxy note 2 before this. My samsung galaxy Note 2 suddenly stopped working when i tried to unlock my phone from the lockscreen page. I then held on to the power button to reset the phone. But upon startup it just stopped at the Samsung logo. If I take the battery out it goes into a boot loop.
Instead of waiting patiently to send it back to Samsung for a warranty repair, I tried fixing it myself. I tried using a stock root and odin for my GT-N7100 but now it doesn't even startup. It just shows a screen full of grey static.
Now if i send it back to Samsung for a repair, my Odin mode states a binary count of 1, making the warranty void apparently.
My question is: Is there anyway i can reset the binary count? I can't even switch my phone on to access google play store so triangle away is not an option. I am however able to enter download mode.
If anyone has any solutions I'd be most grateful because i seem to have exhausted every option.

I got my phone from Kogan Australia. The back of my phone, behind the battery compartment states

After flashing the stock rom, with Odin v3.07, my phone now displays the Samsung Galaxy note II GT-N7100 Startup logo.
It then shows the android robot with a square cube in the middle of the chest and a loading bar below. But once the loading bar reaches halfway it goes back to the logo and follows the same loop over and over again.
Is there another stock Rom or something else I can try to use? I can still get into Odin download mode.
Problem: Stuck on white/black screen, can't boot into recovery, able to boot into download mode
I recently returned my phone to stock following the return to stock tread (4.1.1), however, my first OTA update from ATT (4.1.2), after the install finished it stuck at boot up screen. And I can't get into recovery screen at all no matter what I try.
Tried to flash TW recovery
Tried to flash CWM recovery
no success, any help?
Edit, I noted whenever my phone is off, when plug in the charger/usb cable, my phone automatically goes into the black/white letter screen. WITHOUT touching any button what so ever.
On download screen
Current Binary: Custom
Systems Status: Custom
Use Kies to emergency recover back to stock 4.1.1.
Steps. (READ ALL BEFORE STARTING)
1.) Downloads Kies onto your pc
2.) Install drivers to pic
3.) Open Kies and go to TOOLS > instal/upgrade firmware.
4.) Kies will ask you for you device model. AT&T = SHE I317. And your serial number. Located behind the battery.
5.) Hit start in Kies it will down load the stock firmware to your PC. Follow the instructions.
6.) It will eventually ask you to put your phone in download mode and connect it to the pc. Do this.
7.) Don't touch it. It is going to take about 10-20 min depending on your Internet speed and your computer.
When it is complete your phone will be back to stock. The same it was the day you pulled it out of the box.
***I would also make sure you back up any data on your phone because it will delete the sd card. It is also wise to remove any external storage sd.
****when finished you can re root using cf auto root or take the OTA update to get you back to 4.3.

Did you get it working? Mine has the same issue. Sucks...
Kies does not work with a Note II.
hey! any solution, ???
KIes 3
I downloaded the newest version of Kies, it is called Kies 3. My note 2 connects to it easily. I have not had to try the emergency repair. Here is the link for it. Hope it helps.
http://www.samsung.com/sg/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
I used the above mention Kies procedure to return my phone to working condition. I was also stuck on the Samsung logo for hours. I tried flashing several backups in Clockwork mod several times for several hours. My sd card would not mount as well. I could use wifi but no phone service. During the Kies process it prompted me to do an emergency repair which I did but this was only after doing a factory reset, and cache wipe, and dalvik cache wipe. I followed the steps by ShrekOpher and my phone was returned to 4.1.2 stock. My new problem is that I made the mistake of updating to 4.3 OTA and now have a locked bootloader. Everything works perfectly except now I'm not rooted. Screen Mirroring works perfect which was the main reason for my misadventure. I'm wondering if I root manually will my screen mirroring be disabled like it was when I was on the unofficial 4.3?
Screen mirroring checks for rooted status and won't run if detected.
See bottom of post #2 here for a link to a solution to that...

I cannot get my phone to boot up. It loads the splash screen and gets stuck there. It doesn't move past that screen. I've tried multiple times going into recovery mode but it won't go. I can get into download mode though. I've tried using Odin 3.07 to reflash the KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 from the back to stock rar I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41340941 and I do not know what to do next. I've even tried flashing a recovery tar file I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533333. I've also tried removing the battery, replacing the battery (I have a second battery), and even if I power off the device and plug it up to my charger it loads the splash screen and stays there. I've looked around online and found this http://www.note2forum.com/forum/galaxy-note-2-help/1530-troubleshooting-samsung-galaxy-phone-bootloop.html#post20381 but can't even get to recovery mode to do a data wipe. The last thing I was able to do successfully with my phone was get it back to stock so and do the update to 4.1.2 because it was on 4.1.1 and I've seen something called SDS while searching. Is that what happened here? Is my phone able to be repaired? When I'm in download mode the upper left corner shows the following information:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I317
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (3 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1

I'm doing some serious reaching here because this is my primary phone, and I'm not familiar with PIT files but what I briefly read stated something about identifying which files go to which partition. I have no experience or knowledge of bootloader functions/changes and I've never checked more than auto reboot and reset time in ODIN. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Update!!! OMG I'm so happy to make progress. I flashed in ODIN the 4.3param_tz.tar file found herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497994 and it successfully rebooted me into CWM. I will post the results of a ROM restore I'm attempting shortly. I was able to complete a full restore of a previous ROM and my phone is now currently booting up as I type this. Hopefully nothing goes wrong, but I've gotten farther now than I have in the past 5 hours I've been glued to my laptop. Time for a cig and beer.

Good for you! FYI, I think u can do a wipe through adb (adb wipe) I think. Nothing should go wrong after restoring your nandroid. (BTW, it's not sds.)
P.S. get a good beer and relax.

Hello,
I'm semi-new to flashing/rooting/custom roms, etc. I say "semi-new" because I used to know what I was doing - but it's been quite awhile. Here's my situation.
I was doing some Spring cleaning the other day and found my old T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 lying around. I upgraded to the S5 awhile back, and forgot about the S3.
So I figured, "I'll sell this on eBay and make some cash!". Reasonable thought, right? I went into Security and started a Factory Reset to wipe all the data off the phone before I sold it.
Oops! Guess what? I had a Custom Recovery on the phone. Completely forgot I had rooted the device and put CWM on it.
No worries, I thought to myself - I'll use ODIN and flash the Stock Rom back on it.
So I did some research on the web and then went to Sammobile and downloaded the 4.3 firmware for SGH-T999 (March 2014). The file is: T999UVUENC2
I connected my phone to Odin, made sure re-partition was NOT checked, and attached the T999UVUENC2 file to PDA and hit Start.
So that went through successfully, according to Odin, HOWEVER, upon reboot, the phone froze on "Samsung" with the blue glow, and the LED slowly pulsated a blue light.
*** At this point I probably should have stopped what I was doing and contacted the forum ***
But I didn't.
After doing some more research, I tried to downgrade to an older version of the Stock Firmware, but I couldn't.
I then installed CWM Recovery (successfully) and tried to install Cyanogenmod 11, with the hope of installing a custom ROM, and then going back to Stock. However, I kept getting ASSERT (ro.bootloader) errors when I tried to flash CM 10.2 and CM 11 (using an SD Card from Recovery).
Now, the phone won't boot up past the initial Samsung Galaxy SIII logo.
When I boot into Download mode, this is what I see
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SGH-T999
Custom Binary Download: Yes (5 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
Warranty Bit: 1
Bootloader AP SWREV: 1
I should mention, Kies does not recognize my phone. So there's that. I was hoping to do the Emergency Firmware Initialization/Upgrade using my Serial Number but the phone won't recognize my phone when I go into Recovery Mode. Do I need to re-install the stock recovery?
So, anyway, yes, I messed up, and I am for many of you, you may be rolling your eyes going, "What did you do?!??!" As someone who works in IT, I know that feeling all too well. But, if anyone in the forum will have mercy on me, I would be much obliged!!
Is my phone savable without having to send it in somewhere and paying $50 to have them un-brick it?
Thank for taking the time to read, and I look forward to your replies.
[SOLVED]
This fixed my issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/fix-s3-to-factory-unroot-stock-recovery-t2323847
I was told to put this question on this forum and I'm really hoping someone can help. My phone is in perfect condition and it would be a shame to have to throw it out:
I'm out of Ideas, please help me.
Here is my info:
Samsung galaxy s3 sgh-i747m from kodoo Canada. I had installed cyanogenmod through their installer over a year ago. I have been using it with my rogers sim with no problems. Less than 2 weeks ago my screen randomly goes black. I try pulling the battery. The samsung logo appears but then back to black but I can hear everything is working. I Try and boot into recovery and everything is black. I boot into download mode and everything looks fine. I try reinstalling cyanogenmod and then Samsung stock through kies and smart switch and every stock kodoo file I can find .
There is one of two things that happen.
If I install a stock below 4.4.2 I get fail in Odin 3.07 and this on download mode:
Odin Mode
Product Name: SGH-I747M
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Qualcomm secureboot: Enable
Warranty Bit: 1
Bootloader AP SWREV: 2
SW REV Check Fail : Fused 2 Binary 1
If I install a stock rom with 4.4.2 or install from Smart Switch
Everything proceeds perfectly but upon reset I see the samsung logo and then nothing just a black screen with the chime in the background. Still can't boot into recovery. I only see the recovery in blue in the upper left corner but then nothing. I believe after all I've tried I must be on 4.4.2
I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
Probably a dumb question on my part but what is "smart switch"?
You can't install any ROM below KK if the phone had stock KK installed on a prior occasion.
I think smart switch is like a newer lighter kies but I could be wrong.
I'm not sure but I don't think I had stock kit kat installed, I think it might have been Jellybean. Is there any way to know for sure? The problem is through odin I would always get fail if I tried any stock rom below 4.4.2.
Odin is the best way to flash the phone with a stock ROM.
I have never used Kies so I can't comment on its effectiveness in restoring a phone.
What error are you getting in Odin when flashing an older ROM than Kit Kat?
What bootloader is on your phone? Have you tried flashing KK via Odin 3.07?
The error I get in Odin is just a red Fail after aboot and on my phone screen it says at the bottom SW REV CHECK FAIL: Fused 2 Binary 1. As for the bootloader, how do I find what my bootloader is?
Odin is failing because you are trying to flash a rom that is trying to downgrade the phone's current bootloader. The fact that the phone has a tripped the warranty bit indicates that it has at least a 4.3 bootloader and cannot be flashed with 4.1.1 or 4.1.2, maybe not even 4.3.
Install the Samsung phone info app from the play store to determine the bootloader. You could also try flashing the stock fob firmware via Odin.
I can't install the samsung info app because I cannot see anything on my screen after the samsung logo. Also I'm not sure what fob is but I tried all of these files with odin 3.07 and none of them brought my screen back to life. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I747M/KDO/
Okay, try this:
download tar version of TWRP from here: https://dl.twrp.me/d2att/
download the latest CM11 for the d2lte and save it to an external sd card;
download CM11 gapps and save it to the external sd card with CM11;
place the sd card into the phone;
download Odin version 3.07;
boot the phone into download mode;
launch Odin and connect phone via USB cable;
uncheck everything in Odin except F.reset time;
flash TWRP in Odin;
when you see the word reset in the Odin status window, disconnect the USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot into TWRP, flash CM11, flash gapps;
reboot phone;
install Sansung info app.
So I did everything you listed and when I attempt to reboot into recovery, I see the samsung logo appear with a blue "recovery booting" in the top left corner of the screen. They stay on for maybe 1 second and then the screen is black. I'm starting to give up hope
Did you pull the battery after seeing the word "Reset" in the status window? Did you try flashing TWRP again?

I did pull the battery out after seeing "reset" and still nothing. Why would flashing TWRP again help? I'll try it again tomorrow. Thanks for trying to help me out here.
Did you pull the battery, replace the battery, and try to boot into TWRP (not the ROM)?

Yes I pulled and replaced the battery. Booting into twrp is still home, power and volume up at the same time, right? That's what I did but nothing.
So you see nothing on the screen after pressing the buttons? Try flashing cwm.

Yes nothing. After flashing TWRP Twice and removing and replacing battery. I boot into recovery. I see the samsung logo with recovery booting in small and blue in the top left corner and then immediately to complete black. I also tried with CWM and the same result.
Can you boot into recovery after flashing stock kit kat via Odin?
If not, it sounds like something may be wrong with the hardware.
