Tried to Root - Now my phone stuck on Splash Screen :-(

Tried to install a rooted Kernal using Odin, The first Kernal did not install (froze), so I pulled the battery, and succesfully installed a different one. Now the phone freezes at the Galaxy SII screen with the Yellow Triangle. Tried re-installing several other Kernals, but to no avail.
Was able to boot into CWM 5, clear the phone, and then install Starbright ROM, but phone still freezes at the splashscreen.
I have tried everything I know to do.
Anyone got any recommendations, or am I bricked?

You are no where near bricked. I don't have a link but search the development section for a complete Rom but in .tar format and flash it to your phone via odin. Or find a complete stock Rom in .zip form and flash it via cwm.

Thanks....I tried that method before, and odin kept freezing up when trying map the pit file.
Tried several others also.
I switched to a different windows machine and usb cable and it worked.
Guess Odin is just finicky like that!
Thank you for both of your help.....Tremendously.

dont need a pit file just check the reboot option

help please

I have a major issue. I flashed a new rom but my phone got stuck in bootloop. I went into recovery and tried to flash my backup. When I went into recovery my usb storage was unmounted. So I figured I'd go into oden and flash a new kernal. When I did this I placed the file in the phone section not the pda section of oden. I realized this mistake after I started to flash and paniced and unplugged the usb. Now when I turn my phone on its stuck at a screen that says hook the phone up to kies and go into kies recovery. It will still let me get into download mode. Anyone know how to fix and what is all needed to fix, kernal, drivers etc....... Thanks

[Q] Stuck on "Note2" Logo, no download mode or recovery

Hey guys,
I tried to install DittoNote3 and I also tried to update my modem within the installer.
For some reason Aroma crashed after the install.
Anyway now when I boot the phone I just see the white Samsung Note2 logo.
I've tried download mode and recovery. No luck.
Also when I plug the USB cable I get a battery screen.
When I use Odin I see "0:[COM3]"
But when I try to flash the stock firmware or MI6 bootloader odin just stops at SetupConnection..
Nothing is flashing
I tried this on a Windows XP and Windows 7 PC as Admin. Same thing happens.
I've tried Odin 3.07 and 3.09
Also I tried Kies but it just says "connecting"
Any ideas?
Big thanks in advance!

You could try mskip toolkit that might work. The thread has been closed but the website still works.

Big thanks mate.
Using this tool I have managed to get the Note2 into download mode and Odin to work.
Will be flashing stock firmware shortly.
Thanks!

Softbrick Note 3 Neo 7505 Ltd - I really need your help

Hello,
I tried to root this device with cf-autoroot and Odin 3.07 yesterday. But it just didn't do anything. After felt 20mins I cancled the process with no good result :/
Now I'm getting the message:
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again."
-I tried it via Kies, but it needs some code I don't have.
-I downloaded stock Rom 4.4.2 and flashed it via Odin 3.09 but no success.
Odin just won't let me flash anything. I don't know why.
-While flashing Kies is off, drivers are installed (it's Added! In Odin) and it's not the first time I'm doing this. I have no idea. I tried different usb-ports. No success. First time I face this problem.
Now I read about Pit file, but I have no clue.
Every help is much appreciated.
Thank you so much

I guess the code is under your battery

Okaay. I will give it a try. Next time! The problems solution was to flash a custom recovery first.

The latest FW in Sammobile starting from Hungary till Bulgary they fail at hidden file in Odin, you need to flash custom recovery to solve that issue....

@Muhammad Rihawi, Also having the same problem. Somehow, i thought the solution ws flashing a pit file... Let us know if flashing a custom recovery sorts out the problem for ya..

Yes Pit file will solve it but we don't have it...
you can flash root or custom recovery, either of both will work.
From two days i just flash bulgari FW then chanfire Root via odin and its works

I don't get it, after flashing the stock Firmware, which failed at hidden. The status bar on the phone stopped and seemed to freeze... I flashed the cf-auto root but it failed... then removed the battery, rebooted into download mode and reflashed the cf-auto root then in odin i saw passed but when the phone rebooted, it was stuck on the bootscreen. After waiting endlessly, removed the battery and tried to enter the recovery mode but it simply wouldnt go there.... Did i miss anything???

No Recovery, only download mode. Sprint Note 4

So I had a custom rom (Hybrid X 5.0) and I tried to factory reset. Now it goes straight to download mode. The top of the screen reads
"Could not do normal boot"
I tried to flash a custom recovery but nothing works. No stock recovery or custom recovery works. The Odin screen shows "PASS" but when it reboots it just turns off. Can anyone help or am I out of luck?

In odin uncheck auto reboot and f. Reset time.
Have your phone ready to pull the battery.
Once you have done that plug in the phone and flash the recovery tar. When it's done unplug the phone, pull the battery and wait for say 10 seconds. Insert the battery and boot into recovery.
If you are using Odin 3.10.x use the "AP" slot to select the recovery tar. If you are using an older version of odin use the "PDA" slot to select the recovery tar.

Nope. Didn't work. It boots to download mode and says "Could not do normal boot

Ok, I would try starting from scratch.
Go here:

Flash this stock 5.1.1 rom (with ob7 bootloader) with odin by tx_dbs_tx.
Hopefully it can get you back to working again. If it doesn't work hopefully someone a lot smarter than me can figure it out for you.
Good luck!

It didn't work. I tried 3 times to flash In Odin and it failed every time.

Try a different USB port. Or a different version of Odin. Or different USB cable.

Okay, I found a solution.
Prior to this, it had been freezing and restarting by itself for a couple of days and I was in the process of downloading a new ROM onto my computer (not the phone) when it just stopped working.
My phone became stuck in a weird loop where it would not boot. Instead, it would act dead (not seem to respond to the power button) but It would eventually jump to Download mode and would instead say something like the following:
"Could not do normal boot. ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)"
and
"ddi : mmc_read failed"
I could not get it to boot normally, into recovery or even directly into download mode. After I would pull the battery, I would have to wait a minute or two to get it to even come back on because it would ignore the power button being pushed.
Every time I tried to flash recorvery, firmware, pit, etc using ODIN in the "could not boot normally" download mode, it would instantly fail and spit out something like
UDC START
MMC: mmc_read fail
ODIN : flash read failure
and a short bit of blue bar would be showing on the download mode screen.
Anyhow, I had to go help my son with some stuff and was starting to assume I would need to have the phone warrantied due to a flash memory failure.
I left the phone alone for two or three hours with the battery out.
Do not ask why this worked but, when I came back, it started to boot normally but reset before a full boot.
After again pulling the battery, I got it to TRY to boot into recovery. It didn't get into recovery but it tried.
I then tried to put it into download mode manually and reflashed the TWRP recovery using ODIN.
IT WORKED.
I then used recovery to flash a ROM and MY PHONE HAS BEEN WORKING EVER SINCE.

Hi guys,
I did have the same problem, i did fix it by first flashing CMW recovery using ODIN. after that i could enter recovery and in CMW recovery i did flash the TWRP zip file. I now can enter TWRP normal.
Sorry for bad english....
I hope this all help for you too!
Good luck!

It could possibly be because the battery was overheating causing the phone to overheat too. I know when I have attempted to do flash with Odin, boot into TWRP, and then flash new ROM that the phone becomes VERY hot. You have to remember, you're putting it through a lot of demanding processes in a short amount of time, and with some custom ROMS you're changing quite a few things. Not to mention the fact that it has to do the initial start up and depending on how many apps are on the phone/ROM it has to start all of those as well.
Not sure if this is the cause, but it's my best guess at the moment.
