May have a brick - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I have an att Note 2 and had recently installed the 4.3 bootloader and tried a couple of the new roms. They were to buggy so I did a full wipe including a data format and restored a Jedi backup. That was this morning. Just a few minutes ago I was attempting to boot into recovery and the phone won't progress past the Samsung logo. Any ideas or suggestions? THanks

Now there was a twrp write up about formatting data in the att gs4 dev section in the golden eye rom I believe. It stated how to fix this issue. Try googling twrp format data fix.

If you can get into download mode, you are not bricked.
Go here;
http://samsung-updates.com/latest-firmware/
Select your device. You can find exact model by removing the back. Model number is on a sticker behind the battery.
Download your firmware. Get into download mode. Load Odin. Tick PDA. Navigate to your firmware. Hit Start.
If it fails try downloading the file again as errors during file transfer are actually very common. Then flash in Odin once again.
Also, I want to add, Odin starts "Not Responding" almost immediately after beginning to flash. Don't panic, this is also very common. In fact it's never NOT happened to me when flashing stock firmware for my Note 2 and S3. Just let it do it's thing and a few seconds later it will recover from this and commence the flash.
I actually have an unbrick video on my Youtube channel for the S3. I need to do one for the Note 2 soon.
Oh, and one more thing, sometimes if you are having difficulty with a bootloop and you can't get into recovery or download, pull the battery and do the steps and then try again. I find many times I have to start from a completely powered off device.
Good luck and keep us posted. =-}

Your bootloop is an easy fix if you have not started odin flashing yet.
Just reboot into recovery and select "Factory Reset" then reboot the phone
and most of the time this fixes the problem, I should say at least 8 out 10
booloops can be fixed with a "Factory Reset" then reboot.
Good luck!

You can download the MDL tar from the Odin thread. Yes, you can flash TWRP through Odin. You can get the tar file here.

Has my phone bitten the dust?

Really hope somebody can help.
I have had a galaxy note 2 for about 6 months on Vodafone UK N7100.
Today while i was at work i felt something hot in my pocket, my phone was very hot (i was not doing anything with it) The phone was stuck on the Samsung boot screen.
After a few minutes of looking at this i realised it was stuck and removed the battery. SInce then i have been unable to get past the boot screen, i can't get into download mode or reboot mode. The only things to note. When i turn my phone on a red light flashes. When i plug my charger in the charge icon appears on screen but it does not charge.
Really hoping somebody can help.
I had rooted my phone if that helps (it did not cause this problem and has been functioning rooted for months)
Update
Just managed to get to a screen which warned me about installing custom software and did i want to continue. I said yes and it is now downloading something
How did you get to that screen?

does it get recognize in odin if yes try to flash stock rom and revive your phone hopefully u are not using the 4.1.1 rom better get a 4.1.2 and bring it to life :good:
if u can get to download mode now then flashed philz recovery first. After flashing recovery wipe dalvik, cache partition & then data reset.then u can flash stock using odin. try this if the first one doesnt work

this would be your last hope http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32273406&postcount=5 follow the guide properly marked in red and remember to tick re partition in odin, if this doesnt work then your phone has been affected by sds due to 4.1.1 rom so u need to take it to service for motherboard replacement which is borne by samsung so no worries, and remember never to use a 4.1.1 rom in note 2 get the 4.1.2 rom or rather they will install that only this time and in future just go through dr.ketan thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 here it will guide you perfect instead following some untidy guides
for odin use 3.04 it works great though i havent tried new version as 3.04 works great you will get it in ketan thread

Thanks for the advice i am downloading the file now.
I did not manage to install the rom i suggested i was using so i don't think that could have been the issue. My phone just seemed to get hot then stop working, i hope as you suggested it is not my motherboard. Did you say that i should still be covered by the warrenty even though i had rooted my device?

well your reply is quite confusing
1.did you manage to flash the rom with pit in odin. was it successful or you get any errors
2.does your phone start now
3.if not then your phone has died and it needs to be taken to service guys ,but just check what the status of your phone in download mode is it official or custom . if its official then no worries just go ahead and take it to service guys and tell them abt your issue that the phone stopped working while in pocket dont info them that you rooted it ever just make them blv that it was a sds caused by 4.1.1 rom so they replace it free.
i mean your motherboard
Sorry if i am confusing matters.
I did not manage to flash anything it was just coming up with failed no PIT partition.
Current binary samsung official
My system status is custom
Are these ok to return my phone with?
I decided to take the advice offered and download the recovery but got confused.
Do i need all of the files from that link or just 1?
I downloaded the first one N7100XXDMB2_Factory
It contained
boot
cache
hidden
modem.bin
recovery
sboot.bin
system
tz
None of these are the md5 format
i am now thinking i should have downloaded XXDLJ2_OXA_Factory
Is that correct or was i right with the first file. If i was right downloading the first file then where do i get the md5 files required for odin to do my factory restore.
Know these are very noobish questions just doint want to do anything wrong
In answers to your questions....
1) Did i manage to flash the rom with it in odin
No
I got confused which files i should be using and did not want to do anything without being sure
2) My phone does not start
3) When i am in download mode my phone shows

If your phone doesn't have a partition map, then no, you can't.
You can try, as a last resort, using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43760271&postcount=22
I had a similar problem not too long ago (although it started with all apps crashing and then stuck at bootscreen) and managed to fix my phone.

EFS is a part of the system that stores your serial number, IMEI and everything related to your phone specifically. You are generally able to back it up using a custom recovery or using software on your PC while the phone is rooted and booted on the android OS. Since you cannot boot into recovery and also can't boot into android itself, I don't think you would be able to back it up.
If you ever installed a custom rom with AROMA, there is a chance you have it backed up already. But if you don't explicitly remember...

[Q] Desperate need of help!!!

My phone is not booting into recovery at all, when I hold down the vol up + home + power it just loops. It keeps giving me a message about my kernel. I know there are a lot of other threads regarding looping issues, but are still able to get into recovery. I've spent hours trying everything I have come across that might seem to work and nothing has. Does anyone know of a way to use Odin from a PC to fix this issue?? I attached a screen shot of the files so far that I have tried using through Odin on my computer and a couple others. I'm very desperate at this point for any advice!! Thanks...

have you updated to the kitkat bootloader. if you have and try to use the cf root made for our device the recovery is no longer usable. google search cf auto root for n9005 kitkat. that one works though it will install the recovery for the n9005 but is functional other than that i would say go to sammobile.com and make an account (free) then download wich ever version you had running wether it be 4.3 or 4.4 then use 7zip and extract the recover.img then flash that using odin.....

I used the ROM Installer app and downloaded the Pac-Man Rom + Gapps, booted into recovery (using twrp.) I then wiped the data, cache, dalvik, and then tried installing the zip files i had downloaded. It would at first just reboot my phone normally and so I downloaded the a aokp Rom off the internet and onto my flash drive, then used a cable to attach both the phone and drive and tried installing the Aokp ROM. That then put my into a loop, I was able to get out of it by using Odin and flashing the openrecoverytwrp.2.6.3.0.img which got me booting back to normal. Sooo I then tried again and then lost the option of getting into recovery.
Their ROM is 4.4. What boot loader do you have. Did you update to kit Kat?

OK do this go to sammiemobile get the factory stock. Flash thru Odin. Then reboot make sure it stock. Download to your PC the ROM you want. Cf auto root and the recovery you like for kit Kat. Don't use any app to download anything. Once you set. Then do the cfautoroot. Let that cycle. Then flash recovery thru Odin. Then reboot. Then power down and reboot into recovery . it works .good. Boot up then add ROM to SD reboot recovery and flash. Done.
Factory wipe before going stock.

You don't keep holding those buttons when the red and blue and yellow words pop up do you? Our phone allows us to hold the power button for about 6 seconds and it will reboot.
Let up off those buttons you're holding when trying to boot into recovery as soon as you see the blue and red and yellow writing.
The blue writing states that you're already booting Into recovery.
Tl;dr You're holding the buttons too long after it reboots. Let off them.
Eek, I just read the steps you tried to resolve this. Sorry you had to go through that. I don't think that was your issue, but I just thought I'd throw my 2cents in
BTW if this is not the case, then disregard please.

I did exactly what you said and it worked! I appreciate your help!!!!!! I just downloaded the stock firmware and my phone booted back to factory settings. I haven't rooted it yet. I have a few different cf auto root files, is this the correct one CF-Auto-Root-hlte-htlexx-smn9005.tar.md5?
Just out of curiosity, which back up do you prefer cwm or twrp?

Yeah it's all good, I got it fixed finally. I'm not exactly sure what my issue was I'm just glad it's working. I tend to try different things with my phone or phones i've had in the past without, I just wasn't careful enough to what I was doing I guess. Are you running cm ROM on your N3?

I did exactly what you said and it worked! I appreciate your help!!!!!! I just downloaded the stock firmware and my phone booted back to factory settings. I haven't rooted it yet. I have a few different cf auto root files, is this the correct one CF-Auto-Root-hlte-htlexx-smn9005.tar.md5?
Just out of curiosity, which back up do you prefer cwm or twrp?

Yup that is the right cf auto root. I have flashed both recovery thru Odin. Work great both times. I used cwm up until 3 days ago. Switched because one of my friends was having issues and wanted to make sure it was not a recovery thing. Been on twrp and it good. Glad I could help you. Enjoy the greatness of this phone.

Dam it i got the same problem but i really can't boot into recovery or download mode. Anyone know how i can adb into download mode?
Edit: Figured it out... thank god.
Just a heads up. Next time to save time of a huge file download. Just download another Recovery for your device. You flashed a corrupt recovery which caused your phone to not go into recovery at all. Always ensure the model # matches yours also.

Also flashing CF-Auto Root does not help a bad recovery fix, it just roots your phone, so you flashing CF AutoRoot was of no use at that point.

The reason he got the bootloop was cause cf root does it. That is why he needed to download the cf auto root euro version.

I don't think its that. If it is their post should be in the International Note 3 9005 thread, not T-Mobiles thread, and seeing that they have been rooted before ( i know because thats the only way they could reboot to recovery with rom manager) they must have used the n900t CF AutoRoot which is correct if the person have the T-Mobile version. Reading through and seeing that they never confirmed or have been asked for their phone model, just the second post person suggesting stuff for the 9005 without questions, since he/she said they haven't rooted yet after successfully booting up from the stock flash, he/she haven't used the 9005 Auto Root as yet which I think they shouldn't as they might brick their phone. His recovery went bad after he flashed the wrong recovery to their phone.

Let's agree to disagree. But if you check chainfires tweet he even said to use the cf euro version because it plays right with the TMOBILE. I have helped may bootloopers with just changing the root method. Just ask the op. He tried just the recovery with bootloops. And it was the right one cause he used the one I used.

Either download and flash a rom or download your factory firmware from sammobile.com and flash with Odin.

seeing as you have twrp-ed already, did you have a backup?
if so you might just need to restore full or partial/meaning boot and or data
crash your tab / hold home vol-up power till reboot and sam-logo keep home and power pressed till
recovery comes up , select restore,rom, then check what you need swipe

yeah if you didn't back up first the your boned so odin it is
the process is pretty similar to when you flashed twrp
hold home,vol-down and power to get download/odin mode
fire up odin connect tab wait for it to pickup look in small field [com 1,2,3,etc.]
check pda load your stock image [*.tar.md5]
MAKE SURE REPARTITION IS UNCHECKED
auto reboot checked and reset time should already be checked by default
click start/go and let it do it's thing
make sure it's right image
do not flash a pit file.

1 on a new flash the tab will take a while on first boot
philz touch is good, but what ROM did you flash?
2 if you have an microsd card reader for your pc take the card out of your tab and put into card reader
download svelte rom 4.1 from tab 3 7.0 section . the box your tab came with as well as lokking on the back
of your tab will tell you the model if you only see the wifi logo it's sm-t210r, svelte rom 4.1 is for t210r
so once you download the right rom put it on your microsd card, put the card bak in tab
boot to philz recovery select install from sdcard1/extsdcard etc.
there's a way around things most of the time
be patient keep cool,pay attention to what you do and read and you'll get it

I flashed this thing like 4x in odin and it says it gone through. But when I reboot my phone and go to the settings to check it still says I have the mk2 baseband. I give up.
I am on the KOT49H.S001.VirginROM x3.1.1 and it says my device is a GT-I9505G if that is the culprit.

well. I tried to flash the 4.4.2 modem bin twice. First time went through. Second time I got a fail. (I had to reboot in between, odin wouldn't do anything if I didn't).
Now I can't start my phone. I get the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. PLease Select Recovery mode in Kies and try again".
So I'm assuming I have to flash the M919AVUAMDL from the odin thread?? I never went to knox (still on 4.2)
EDIT:
Just tried to "fix the softbrick" but I keep getting fail in Odin. I have no idea what to do anymore. SMH.

EDIT:
I tried flashing SGH-M919-UVUAMDB.tar and M919UVUAMDL.tar and I'm getting a "FAIL" on both. I'm downloading the official 4.4.2 firmware from the Samsung website (which is taking forever) and going to try flash that in Odin. I will be getting a Knox counter (which I didn't have before) but at this point, I just need a working phone.
Update:
Waited 2 hours to download the firmware from the Samsung site and it failed at the last minute. I give up. SMH

I can't get into recovery. Only download mode.
I'd try Odining back to stock mk2 or nb4.

Phones are not bricked if they still show power in some way. That is either called soft-bricked or sponged.
Also Questions and help issues belong in the Q&A and Help sections

Thanks

It would help if you posted what error you got in Odin.. Also try different USB ports, PC, reinstalling drivers.. This is not a hard brick

If you get download mode, try getting a recovery installed, like a phillz touch or cwm. look for one that will compliment your os that you have installed and then try getting into recovery.
You might even do as someone else pointed out, return to complete stock, and take it from there.....
I got my phone back up.
I had to flash the 4.4.2 firmware in Odin. No other firmware wouldn't work. Every ttime I downloaded from SamsungMobile website the download failed the last minute.
So now I got a Knox boot loader but oh well, I just needed my phone back up.
