Hello Good people of xda forum
please i have a very big problem at my hand involving my newly acquired galaxy note II, the international version and i was hoping that some of you could help me out here because this is driving me nuts.
My galaxy note II is 2 weeks old and i rooted it 5 days after i got it with Odin and everything seems to work smooth ever since.
My problem now started yesterday when i stupidly went to install the chainfire 3d plugin because i wanted to try my older games that worked better on my qualcomm desire HD that wouldn't work well on my note II and what happened next has left me with sorrows since yesterday evening.
My lovely Note won't boot up anymore. It always gets stuck on the samsung galaxy note II logo. I am on the stock samsung rom.
I have tried everything i could read online to get it working including entering clockworkmod recovery, wiping data, cache, daivik, factory reset, formating sd and external sd card and nothing seems to work.
I have even tried entering odin download mode and downloading a custom firmware to flash but it keeps saying ''downloading'' but never finishes.
I am helpless now and do not want the 619 EURO i paid for this phone to be a waste. I can't return it since it is already rooted and i cannot unroot it in it's current state.
Is there any way for me to copy over the stock rom zip file to the external sd and flash it from there? If yes, can anyone provide me with a stock rom zip file to flash as i cant seem to find it anywhere?
My galaxy note II is the international version, bought at Saturn electronics shop, germany.
I will also admit that i am not so good with the technical stuff so a little explanation could help.
Thanks all.
There are stock roms in the note 2 forum here on XDA. You can boot into CWM recovery and mount your SD card to be able to use on your laptop/PC. If that fails, you can get the Android SDK specifically adb and push it to your internal SD.
I've done the same on my old Galaxy S2, so don't worry it's recoverable! I suggest getting a stock rom and flash via Odin, failing that use the method I mentioned above.
I apologise if I'm unclear, I'm exhausted tonight!

Best thing to try in ur case is make a full wipe and factory reset from recovery then to flash stock rom using odin then to make a wipe again if any problems,this should solve ur problem. Good luck.

Thank you both a lot. I am trying your solutions now. I will post back if it worked.
You both are life savers. My phone is back up and running.
Can't thank you all enough.
Thanks.
Any luck with your Note II ?
You can also download a custom rom , then put it in an external card
Slot it in the phone , do full wipe and flash .

Hello, sorry for late reply. Here is the link you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
Search for your country's version of the stock rom and download it.
Download also the odin files included in that first post.
Once you have the stock rom for your country and odin files downloaded, unrar them if they are zipped and place their folders on the desktop or somewhere else you can
easily find them.
Now open odin from the folder you unrared and turn off your phone (your phone shouldn't be connected to the computer at this point).
Once your phone is off. Press and hold simultaneously the volume down button, home key button and the power button. Keep holding them until you
see the samsung logo. Then let go of the buttons and your phone would enter downloading mode.
Now plug in your phone via usb to your computer and a blue light would show on odin with COM written in it.
Now check the box next to PDA and point odin to the tar file contained in the downloaded rom folder you placed on your desktop and hit start on odin.
A progress bar would now show on your phone indicating that odin is flashing your phone with the stock rom.
Once it's finished successfully, it will show on odin "passed" in a green light and your phone should reboot and voila, your phone is now clean as new.
From there, I believe you continue on your own. Now disconnect your pbone and enjoy.
There are also pictures on the link I posted that would explain the process better.
If you any further questions, just ask.
Good luck.

What do you do if you can't get your computer to recognize your phone plugged in the USB? I tried to delete the Samsung Drivers and reinstall but it didn't work. I can get my phone to Odin mode but can not get it to flash.
PLEASE HELP.
Make sure you've installed Samsung usb drivers.
Edit: should have read your entire post *sorry* Make sure there are no other usb related proggies running; they might interfere with your sammie usb drivers..

Sorry, I forgot the s2 does not have fastboot mode. You should download the stock rom zip and gapps onto your SD card. Then factory reset. Install the stock rom and gapps. Then factory reset again. Make sure you have the proper rom. I've had bootloops like you when trying to install certain roms. Currently my wife's s2 t989 is running cm 10.1.2 with no problems. Cm 10.2 would cause bootloops. If you are getting to the Samsung logo your phone is not bricked, so don't worry. We just have to figure out what's going wrong with your install process. Let me know what happens.
Did you flash a custom recovery? And if so which one? This will be needed before flashing roms.

the way I'm working is THE FOLLOWING:
First, I have samsung drivers installed on my notebook and the phone is recognized.
Second, open the odin program, and on the phone I press vol +, vol + and connect the USB cable, the phone starts in download mode ...
third, odin in pda select rom with. tar.md5, I remove the selection to "re-partition" (sometimes I leave selected)
Fourth, I start ...
wait a while, the installation goes well (I sometimes appears "fail") but usually completes the installation, the phone restarts (odin says that ended with "pass") once it restarts in case of using a rom T-Mobile, the logo appears on the screen, shuts down or restarts ... and no more lights, again only shows the samsung logo and restart every two seconds about ...
I guess I'm doing the procedure well, do not know if anything else can fail ...
I do not know if it's possible to "format" the phone, leave it completely to zero and see if that way I can mount a rom ... by the way, a couple of the rom I downloaded from sammmobile.com so I think that should be the corresponding ...
I hope someone can help me please ...
respect to recovery, well this phone apparently was installed a wrong rom, had no recovery, I try to install the cwm apparently installed fine, but when trying to enter the recovery, as it appears again, the phone restarts just what mentioned earlier
Did you preform a NANDROID backup before flashing?
If not you probably will have to install KIES and firmware upgrade from there. I had to do this a few times with bad roms/recoveries.
You can try CMinstaller (easiest way to flash rom), but unless you enabled usb debugging, it may not work...

This is the only thing that I can think of that may work. I've done this a few times.
Download and install Samsung Kies on your computer if you do not have it already installed on it.
Note down your phone’s Serial number somewhere. You can find it under the battery of your device or the box your brand new device came with.
Launch Kies and click Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialization
Connect your device to computer using USB cable.
Enter your device model name in all CAPS (GT-I9500, for example) and click on OK.
Then you will be asked to enter the Serial Number of your device.
Once again, select OK on the next screen.
Doing this will force Kies to download the require firmware update files for your device.
Respond and confirm all securities warnings to clear the way for emergency firmware installation and then select Start Upgrade.samsung-firmware-restore
Kies will now start downloading firmware files and the process might take several minutes depending or data connection speed.
When it is finished, new firmware will be installed on your device and you will see: samsung-firmware-restore-complete
Click on OK and disconnect the cable.
Reboot your device and done!

It seems that way. But maybe someone else here knows how to go about fixing it. The only thing that leads me to believe it is dead, is that you can't boot into recovery even after Odin.
If anyone can figure out a fix, please share, I'm a bit curious...

I just want to confirm your method for entering recovery. With the phone off and not plugged in you hold down both volume buttons and the power button. When the phone vibrates release the power button, and continue to hold down both volume buttons. Do not release volume buttons until the phone boots into recovery. This is what you are doing? I just want to cover the simple things before asking you to try more in depth possible solutions.
Check out this thread about faulty/dirty power buttons.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931310
you flashed with a nearly dead battery? I always charge mine to 100%. I've had issues where my phone won't boot up properly like what yours is doing when the battery hits 0%.
I'd plug it in and leave it for half an hour or so and see if it boots then. Let it charge to 100% and then put on either CWM or TWRP (I've had better luck with TWRP personally) and flash your ROM from there.
I've never had luck flashing anything but recovery and stock from Odin. Other things seemed to be a little flaky.
Also, since this is in the T989 forum, I'm presuming you have the T989 which I believe the recovery buttons are vol+ and power not both (but I could be wrong).
Once other thing you could try is grab a copy of the android SDK (specifically ADB) and run:
adb logcat > boot.log
and post the file it creates (called boot.log). Also, try running:
adb reboot recovery
to see if you can get into recovery mode. I THINK (but have never tried) that ADB should work from download mode. Try booting into download mode and running adb reboot recovery to see if that helps.
That is my best guess anyways.

I had to reflash the stock ROM via Odin and then reroot in order to get the prompt for disabling Knox. Then I just cancelled it. Now my tablet works fine. No reboots so far for the last few days.
Any suggestions!

I reflashed stock, then rerooted but at no point did I get and options or reference to KNOX. My KNOX counter is already tripped but I believe yours would be as well. I have tried probably 5 times changing superuser setting before reflashing but nothing changes. Before rooting I wipe cache partition so is there anything else I need to do to get Superuser to prompt the KNOX disable? When I boot into stock recovery I have the little green android and it has a red exclamation mark, is this normal?
Thanks

I usually get a prompt to update and then it usually prompts for Knox. If not, try opening your SuperSu app and see if it prompts you to disable Knox. If it does, then click no. That's the only thing I can think of.

Can you post, step by step, how you reflashed, including what programs (version of Odin) and the files (which ROM zip, which chainfire zip, which TWRP) you used? Then i'll cross-reference with what I did and see if there are any differences and let you know. That's the only thing I can think of at this point to try and help you.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I do. Sorry, but I honestly don't know how you can fix this issue. I hope someone more knowledgeable than me can help you.

You can do it with Kies 3.
Make sure you have the box or serial number on hand.
ALL DATA WILL BE WIPED DURING THE PROCESS!!!!!
enter download mode, open Kies 3, and connect the tablet
Tools-firmware upgrade and initialization
Enter model number and serial number
Kies 3 will download and flash the tablet with factory ROM. The process can take an hour.
After initial setup, turn off the tablet and enter download mode again
Run CF-auto root with included ROM and Odin
After the tablet restarted, run superSU and hit cancel when you're prompted to disable KNOX.
I wish!

I tried your suggestion but I am not having any luck. I downloaded and installed the latest version of kies, then upgraded it as suggested. Tablet connects fine and I can transfer files or Backup or browse he tablet. But when I choose upgrade and initialisation. Enter the model and S/N, connect the tablet in download mode, I get a message that the tablet in not compatible with this version of Kies. Then directs me to website to get the correct version. But because I am in Belize, the website is Spanish and I don't speak the language, so I am stuck. Can I just go a head and reset the tablet to factory , then reroot and disable knox then? ( I did verify from Samsung customer service that I did have the correct version of Kies installed!)

I tried Kies 3 from your link, no go, same message. Tried Backup/ Hard reset/ install SU from ps/ Voila! finally got the option for knox in su . Doesn't reboot any longer. So I am happy. I do have another question, even after doing 4 different kind of backups, Google account/Samsung account/backup suite/kies, I still basically had to setup from scratch and ended up losing all my game credits and all my open vpn/tunnel/surveillance/Pandora/Pandora settings. I also did a Mybackup Pro complete
and when I tried to restore I received a message that it did not exsist, what is the procedure for performing a complete backup that restores your device back to previously setup! Obviously, I haven't got it yet!

This is what root meant for.
You can use Titanium Backup (root required) to completely backup/restore app, or, if you're brave enough, use Root Explorer to copy and paste related app data in /data/data (root required too).
Does yours flicker a little before restarting? Mines does. This problem has happend for me ever since I first rooted this thing.

Hi
I have a Note 2 (international GT-N7100) that does not start. It shows a firmware upgrade error (attached) when i switch it on. I can only enter download mode (attached). I am being told the phone suffered SDS but in download mode you can still see the product name (attached). Prior to the problem i have never been rooted or had a custom ROM installed. It simply rebooted one day all by itself and when booting showed the upgrade error
I have tried re flashing via Odin in everyday possible, including the PIT file. All methods fail. A friend as said the bootloader is corrupt. I tried re flashing that but also no luck.
Is there a way of using an external SD card to get up and running? Or any other ideas out there.
Thanks and much appreciated.

You're using the wrong version of Kies, Kies 3 is for the Note 3 and devices made after it. Try downloading the original Kies http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/#none

No. The phone can only enter download mode. (Vol down, Home and Power).
Vol up, Home and Power keeps taking me to the firmware upgrade error screen.
Removing battery and pressing power on button also takes me to the firmware upgrade error screen.

Since your Knox counter is still untripped, I'd recommend contacting Samsung as I'm pretty sure the SDS has no software fix.

Hey have you tried Odin 3v1.87 I know that the partition error is very common on the later Odin clients.
Also make sure to uninstall Kies before using Odin as it nearly always interferes.

Maybe the screen digitalizer would be replaced.(The same thing happened with me when I flashed stock firmware, maybe it`s the fault of poor touchscreen)

installing Android operating system means , it is installing stock JellyBean via Odin i guess, if they said it would fix that u can do it by yourself. Try that and if not work then no options, u must fo for repair center. Good Luck.
