my note 2 with 4.1.2 was absolutely stock. a few months ago i rootet it with cf-autoroot. today i wanted to update to 4.3 via OTA. didnt do any research on that topic and got stuck in the following issue:
the 600mb update file for 4.3 was downloaded successfully. afterwards i clicked "install" and the phone bootet. since then i'm stuck in the boot screen that says "samsung galaxy note II GT-n7100".
i cannot get into recovery mode (vol up + home + power). doesn't work.
i do get into download mode (vol down + home + power). this works!
is there a way to fix that, or to get back to 4.1.2 to recover my personal data (yes, no backup of sms done).
or is the only way to flash 4.3 via odin. does this work out of the box or am i facing additional issues when i do so?
appreciate your help! (sorry for my english)
btw:
custom binary download: yes (1 counts)
current binary: custom
system status: official
flashing the twrp custom recovery solved my problem!
the system bootet into 4.1.2 telling me that the update to 4.3 failed. i'm very happy about that :good:
so anyone knows if there is a safe way to get 4.3 from a rootet 4.1.2 (stock rom) ???

Today I tried to root my AT&T (d2att) (SGH-i747) just upgraded to 4.3 yesterday. I am completley stock no root no custom recovery. I don't know what happened but it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again." I can't go into recovery,it won't let me. I ordered a jig (don't have it yet). It says this-
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: yes (5 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
warranty bit: 0
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
So can somebody please help? I have download mode but recovery is a no go
bump please help phones been bricked for more than a day now
There is no Odin package for 4.3 OTA so you will have to install an Odin packaged custom recovery such as twrp then install a 4.3 ROM or higher via recovery. 4.4 KiKKat will work too.

Hey guys I had a similar problem when I flashed a cf auto root file to the new ota. (sorry if that's a little noobish ) the way I fixed it was in kies being that stated above it's hard to get a Odin flash able 4.3 firmware. So I went into kies>tools>firmware upgrade/installation, (or something along those lines) a heads up you'll need your serial number and model number. Put all that in and it will tell you to put it into recovery mode (they really mean download mode not sure why they call it recovery) then plug it in and it'll download 4.3 and flash it to your device and voila! Not sure if it applies to you but it put my phone into safe mode. A reboot fixed that! I hope I helped you guys! Also another warning you will loose all your data.
Cheers!
I am not new to rooting and flashing rom however, I switched from my rooted GS3 running CM11 to the Note 2. I flashed the stock firmware (root66) and made the mistake of running the OTA 4.1.2 update which caused my note to be soft bricked. The phone boots to the samsung logo and freezes there. I flashed several stock firmware using odin that pass but when my phone reboots it freezes at the samsung logo. I can not access recovery mode, only downloading mode. I know its a way to fix this I'm just not sure how. Any suggestions?

Easy peasy, flash philz v5.00.5 (not the latest) through odin then u should be able to access recovery, from recovery flash a custom ROM so u can get unstuck, then when everything is fine, flash a stock rom from sammobile and hopefully it should work.

Smack the thanks if I helped.

I have an SGH-1747 on AT&T. I already had the OTA 4.3 update on my phone and I wanted to simply wipe all of the apps off so it was a fresh 4.3 install as it was running slow. I went into the settings and did a factory wipe thinking that would wipe it back to original 4.3 but when it rebooted it hung on the AT&T screen.
I went into Recovery mode and wiped everything to factory refresh from there hoping that would fix it and it made it worse. Now when I reboot i simply get the Firmware upgrade encountered an issue and it asks me to use Kies to go into recovery mode. I did that multiple times and it never worked. Simply kept failing.
I am able to get into Download Mode but I can't seem to find a ODIN version of the 4.3 that I can try to flash it back to. I would love to go back to a 4.2 version if that would work but I stopped before I made it worse. In download mode it says
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 COUNTS) - Early on with 4.1 i had flash up to 4.2 using ODIN but i have on official AT&T release since
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
WARRANTY BIT = 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
Any advice out there? I am thinking I soft bricked my phone but I am not sure?
PLEASE HELP!
There is no stock 4.3 AT&T ROM that can be flashed via Odin. You cannot downgrade the bootloader to an older version.

Thanks for the info. I actually got it fixed by giving in and going to best buy and the Samsung guys actually were able to flash it to a fresh 4.3 image. They knew it had a non factory image on it in the past based on the counter but they still did it. I'm all fixed now which was awesome.

Install latest philz cwm or twrp recovery, go into recovery and wipe data/factory reset or choose option to clean for new rom Install, after that flash custom rom.
So i lost my warranty recently and seen that there is a new version out... my old one was the standard 4.1.2 which i wanted to upgrade... so i installed a new bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2747963 (the "Latest nd3 bootlader" http://d-h.st/TQq)... used Odin 3.9, shut my n7100 down, booted it up in download/odin mode and connected it to the PC. it worked, then i flashed the Bootloader... seemed to work... it reseted.... and is FOREVER STUCK on the first loading screen "Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100" until i grab the battery and get it out.
then i can go back to the download mode.... i wanted to try a factory reset, but even this doesn't work, because i can't get into the recovery mode....
that made me so mad... i thought it worked out really well... and then this... right in my face
heeelp plssss......

You were on 4.1.2 and flashed a kitkat bootloader? Did you even read instructions carefully? The latest KK bootloader only works on 4.3 and higher android versions.4.1.2 is not supported.Now download a stock 4.4.2 ROM flash it via odin( ND3 firmware and higher)
