If you pull the battery on your phone and power on, what can you do? Can your PC recognize your phone? Can you boot into download mode? Can you boot into stock recovery? Can you actually boot into the ROM? If any one of these are true you're not bricked and you have options based on what you can get into. Search for how to restore, how to use CF-auto root, or whatever applies based on where you can get into the phone...

When I turn my phone on, it will stay on the "Samsung" boot screen indefinitely. I left it on over night to see if it needed to load and it just froze there. I booted into the recovery and wiped everything, and still no success. I tried to connect to my cpu using odin and had no success. I tried to use an update.zip to try and it didn't work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I tried on both PC and Mac.
Please follow the directions here to get your phone working
Your phone isn't bricked. Are you using CWM3? If you aren't you most likely tried to flash an EXT4 rom without an EXT4 compatible recovery, boot into recovery and restore and old NAND backup if you have one, otherwise remove the SD card, then install a different rfs compatible ROM and try to flash it.

What part don't you understand?
The most fail safe way to fix a splash load issue is to ODIN back to stock and then reflash. You said you are having issues. Let me throw out some popular issues.
DON'T USE THE STOCK USB CABLE. ITS SUCKS!!!! it will likely cause fails
Use a USB port in the back of your computer
Install Samsung Galaxy Drivers (if you are on 64bit you obviously need 64 bit drivers)
place your phone into download mode (slide open the phone press 1 + power)
Its a yield symbol with an android, not your recovery ROM.
Open Odin first, then plug the (non stock) usb cable into your phone. You will see a Port number verifying the connection
then re-flash to what ever stock version of android you want via the corresponding .tar file.
afterwards, you can use the one click root to regain root access.
I would like to mention that it IS possible he could be permanently bricked. Now I don't know exactly what he did to cause this or whether if Odin/cwm will work for him, but if they don't he is bricked.
Believe me, I have had bad luck when it doesn't get that past Samsung screen ...

As long as there is any reaction from the phone (in this case booting to the Samsung screen it is recoverable and therefore not bricked.
ATT S3 stuck at the Samsung galaxy 3 logo, i tried to use Odin and flash but it wont work (stuck at system) and I cant access my recovery mode. I try to go into recovery mode but it just reboot and goes back to the logo.
The only thing I can access is DL to try to flash it through Odin but It just not working , I tried the original update from samsung and the jelly bean and it keep getting stuck in the loading system.
please advice , I am desperate.
Are you trying to flash back to stock?
I went through this the other day. Boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. Wipe User Data/Factory Reset I believe is the actual option.
Should boot fine after that.
*nevermind... didnt read it properly, obviously wont work if you cant get into recovery... my bad

Have you tried: vol up+home and then adding power? When I do the 3 at the same time, it doesn't seem to always work but that way does. Just a shot in the dark.

not working boss,on my samsung wave 2
Looks like you may be soft bricked. You can always send it off to JTag for repair. This guy on eBay does it for $35 and he has 700+ sales with a 100% satisfaction rating http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=271160547396
If you can get into dl mode you can fix it. And make sure that you are trying to get into recovery the right way. I know in times of frustration getting into recovery can be annoying. ...a few deep breaths wait a little while then try for recovery. If not. .. down load the newest odin, erase and down load New drivers for your phone and attempt odin again, Flash stock rooted.

I am having similar issues i'm able to get into download and keis will begin emergency recovery but both options fail at system.img.ext4
recovery is un available and outs me into connect to keis screen which is download ot keis download.
would any one have a stock recovery of original DLK3 that would be for odin, or a location to download it. keis said if I could get into stock recovery....
thankx
i'm not even stressed yet I went thru this once with my captivate and I got out of that one.
I think that running kies and odin at the same time can disrupt odin. Not 100% on that but I always disabled or removed it first as per something I had read. Also if you have been running anything using ADB on your PC, use the task manager to make sure it is not still running in the processes. It has caused me problems getting a connection to the phone to stick.
AT & T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-13I7
So I'm at a loss on what to do with my phone at this point..
Everything was running great until yesterday, I attempted to root it, the root attempt was unsuccesful but the phone still worked just fine and It even got shut off and turned on a few times after the failed attempt. But one time it froze up after installing an app and after that the phone got stuck on the boot screen.
So this morning I flashed the stock 4.1.2 Rom and it worked again, then I updated the phone on the device itself. OTA is what you would call it I believe. And now I'm back to where I started. The phone gets stuck on the galaxy note 2 loading screen and it wont start.
I cannot enter recovery mode in order to wipe the settings and clear the cache.
I can enter download mode however, and my attempts at flashing the stock firmware PASS on Odin but the phone only gets stuck on the loading screen again afterwards
Does anyone know what I should do?
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch
Is there any way I might be able to enter a recovery mode using an micro SD card?
To which rom you updated? Know that from newest version there is no going back.

Edit : there's a way(maybe) to get to download mode. But not sure if it will work on your phone. There is a thing called jig kick USB. You can build one yourself.

Thats probably my problem then. I was running 4.3 and the stock firmware I installed was 4.1.
Is jig kick USB used to get into download mode, if thats the case then I am already able to do that. Just not get into recovery mode.
Yes I noticed later that you can access download mode. So try to flash the rom you updated to but for your carier as your phone is from at&t you should use their rom. I don't have carrier phone so I speak theoretically. But I guess you understand what I mean.

mine is the same n7105, so how did this go, did it worked?
mine n7105 says passed and once rebooted don't pass n7105 logo, i can only enter download mode,
I'm having the exact same issue, 7100 Sprint. Odin flashes pass but still stuck on SGNII screen, can't flash recovery or ROM. Had 4.1.2 and accepted OTA mistakenly.
I literally just had this problem with my SGH-I317 and fixed it with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891 go down to where it says "If you are running the official *MK6* firmware"
ive had something similar. had odin pass. no cwm / twrp access only stock recovery and stock downloader mode.
you need to flash a stock rom to get it back, then boot into it. connect pc. (a different usb port sometimes) get ODIN to reboot it into downloader mode. I had major problems getting to that point. but got it from flashing a stock rom. I have also had this old CM10 rom that fix's all partitions etc. i cant remember the name of it now.
a couple of times ive had issues getting into custom recovery. when you hold power +vol up + home key. when u do keep holding power. it loops boot and loops back again. when u release. make sure you hold power for like 1-2 seconds on logo. dont release power button before logo appears. wait a second after it appears. get it every time now.
Try to flash latest TWRP trough ODIN and check if you can boot in to recovery after that.
I was givin a galaxy s3 ive come to learn it is sprint and also that its soft bricked when booting phone it says samsun then samsung galaxy then samsung agian in colors then stays like that i can still access bootloader and the volume down power menue option to i would use odin but i dont have access to a computer so in other words i have to use sd card ive attempted to flash meny roms and keep getting the same errors footer failed and signiture verifacation faild please tell me how to do this remember i dont have access to a computer :thumbdown::what::banghead:
Does it have custom recovery? That's the only way to flash roms. If you are trying to flash roms in stock recovery, that's why it's failing.
If its soft bricked, you need a pc, that's it.
I wouldn't recommend getting a bricked phone without a pc.
Odin is the only way I know of. Borrow one, lol.
How do i tell if its got custom recovery
How are you trying to flash roms? In recovery I hope. But when you boot to recovery, if its custom it will have the name of it, twrp, clockworkmod, philz touch. Something like that.
But roms aren't going to help a brick. There may be a debrick image floating around.

Hi good people! thanks in advance, I had a problem for about a month now where my phone (Note2) used to take about 15 min to boot, after trying many solutions, I read somewhere to delete ODEX files and after trying that in many ways I went to system/apps and deleted ODEX files there with Root Explorer which turned out to be a biiig mistake, it just stucks at the Samsung Logo for a few seconds before it starts again (only the logo, the phone doesn't reboot) and it stays like that forever. I'm in hell right now, I have some files I don't want to lose so I was afraid of factory reseting but after I was told that it won't delete them, I did but that didn't solve anything, I can't access download mode, I can access recovery mode however (not custom) I tried flashing a custom ROM but I just get "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" please help ! I'll be really thankful ! thank you !
EDIT: I hope this helps someone else, after trying everything, what eventually worked for me was the USB Jig, I was able to enter download mode and install a new ROM from there. good luck!

If you know your rom load, flash it back on to your device without any wiping. It should load the needed files back on your system. Though any system mods will be lost.
The other option is to go into aroma from your custom recovery and grab your needed files over to your extsd card

Thanks for the reply, the problem is that I don't have a custom recovery and when I try to flash a new ROM it tells me "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" ...
Well the only option is download mode and try loading the same factory rom you have on your device. Or a newer version, if available. Some different regions have updates.
Can't use stock recovery to flash a custom rom.
You have access to a USB jig? What happens when you try to enter download mode?

Without being able to enter download mode means you can't flash a stock rom via Odin. Maybe order a jig from eBay or try yo make your own. Either way, a jig us a good tool to have when flashing Samsung phones.

Installation of a custom ROM but that requires a custom recovery. The easiest method would be to flash TWRP with Odin or possibly TWRP via flashify. Problem is that the phone can't enter download mode or boot the ROM.
I recommend buying or making a USB jig. If you don't want to wait, you could take the phone to a repair shop and have it flashed via jtag.
