Hello All
Help Please
A friend of mine have purchased a second hand Note 2 GT-N7100 that have N9300 firmware installed on it (it is working thought...). need your support to flash the original Firmware back. to do so, i cannot access Downloading mode....
thanks in advance
Hi, please be carefull while flashingg!! U could ruin everything if u flash another device's firmware!! Check if ur friend has a custom recovery like philz or twrp. If he has one, download a custom rom and flash it through the recovery. Download mode should be fixed, check by pressing and holding volume down+home button+power button at thr same time. Keep holding them even if the phone shuts off, let go them untill u see a green screen.
Once there, download the latest N7100 firmware from sammobile, or download the leaked 4.3 by samsung and flash it via odin. And there u go!
Give me a thanks button if i helped

it is original samsung ? not a fake or a clone phone ?
Hi
Not really sure if it is a fake or not...it has what seems to be an extra SIM compartment at the left side from the SIM compartment closed by a SIM like plastic piece and white adhesive tape that i don't remember having on my previous Note 2 (not sure though)

I would suggest to to do it from odin. The symptoms you are having are of sds. Update asap or you might have a bricked phone.

plz tell me wht must i do i cn download same firmware and install it with i m using 4.1.1 officail
my is not rooted or thing
Go to Sammobile.com and download latest rom and install using Odin on pc
scribbled from "the phab" (the note 2 -N7100)
Nonsense
The reason your red light is on due to having quick glance feature is enabled so sensor constantly monitoring when the device is in standby.
Yes it is similar but sds and red light remaining on is a differwnt matter.
On the other hand
Please dont wait for your ota update.
Get odin for pc and download latest stock rom (yes any country will be fine) and flash it. Make sure you have at least % 70 battery during flashing.
Once your countrys ota available 4.1.2 or beyond flash that one but really makes mo different. I am using Turkish latest rom on my UK device
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Yes. It is happening to me. Sometime it reboot itself while I am browsing or viewing picture gallery.
Sometimes I cannot answer incoming phone calls when it rings. Touchscreen and all buttons do not work
while the phone rings. I just have to wait until the call becomes unanswered call.
I am on 4.1.2 DMB2 XME. I wonder if I change to other region ROM could help?
I hope it is not SDS even though I have the vulnerable eMMC chip.
I mean if the phone is still working and giving signs of failure then it can't be SDS. It would have to be sudden hence it's called Sudden Death Syndrome. Just follow the advice given above and flash install the latest ROM and you should be fine.

You are on a later rom. Did you flash your currwnt rom via odin ? Did you wipe ? If you did not backup your data (samsung account backs up your stuff but not always enough) and reboot in to recovery and wipe reset inc cache.
You ll be fine.

Hi guys.
Someone help me. Was having problems with my note 2 switching off by itself so tried factory reset. While the reset was in progress I springed my battery off by mistake. The phone now just reboots from "Samsung galaxy note 2 n7100" then shows the Android robot, then back to"Samsung galaxy note 2 n7100"....
Cannot boot into recover but can get to download mode. Tried reinstalling another rom (not custom) via odin but outcome is same as above.
Is my phone a write-off? The phone is currently not even being recognised by the computer. ..thought it was usb drivers but not the case. Reinstalled drivers and my friends phone is recognized very well.
Kies does not even detect the phone.
Please help guys.

Sorry just to make it clear, please let me know:
- Are you trying to flash the stock ROM via ODIN while the phone is in download mode ?
- Did you extract the .zip file downloaded from sammobile before flashing it in ODIN ?
If possible, can you paste the ODIN logs here ? (don't remember if it includes IMEI, is yes please remove it before posting)

Okay so i bought a samsung Galaxy note 2 on craigslist(not a good idea) and what the seller told me is that it was unlocked. well i got the phone and put my Tmobile sim card and it worked. i tried to do a system update which i kept getting a reminder for and my phone is now stuck on the opening samsung galaxy note 2 sign. well i took it to the cell phone repair places we have around here and none of them could fix it. apparently the guy rooted the phone to unlock it but the phone doesnt have a custom recovery. it can boot to download mode but thats about it. if anyone knows how to fix this i would greatly appreciate your help.
Not bricked. ..
Boot to recovery using the 3 button combination and factory reset the phone. ..then reboot. .
If the device sticks on the splash screen again. ..you'll need to push a new image via Odin. .
But the phone is far from bricked. ..it's just mad...g

Is the phone stolen? Might have been SIM locked.
I would try flashing a stock ROM onto it via Odin. If that fails you probably bought a HOT phone. Or it has hardware damage.

It was unlocked when I got it... it had a custom rom on it and when I tried to do the update it made the phone do what's it doing now.. so what option am I left with? I already tried stock rom and nothing :/
Sent from my LG-P659 using xda app-developers app
So you have flashed a custom recovery? I can see that you said it did not have a custom recovery on it (but had a custom ROM?). If you haven't flashed the recovery and have not followed the flash to stock instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844), then do so (be as specific as possible on the steps you've taken since it seems you might be a beginner at this by trying to update OTA a rooted device).
happened to me too. pull the battery. hold vol up and power and home and then insert battery. Keep holding till the 2nd time it reboots and you see the logo then let go of the buttons. This should put you into recovery. Wipe cache and wipe phone then reboot.
This worked for me, hope it works for you.
Trying to get into recovery mode doesn't work... I am a begginer at this. I tried pulling the battery out and doing the up home and power combo but that does not work.
