[Q] Can't get into Recovery mode, even stock - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed Phoenix Rom V16.7 successfully (It boots into android without problem). However I lost root. Tried flashing CWM "philz_touch_5.15.0-n7100.tar.md5" using ODIN. The phone rebooted into android. I unchecked "Auto reboot" and repeated the steps but now the phone is refusing to reboot into recovery mode, whatsoever. It hangs at "Galaxy Note II" logo. However I am able to reboot into android successfully. Is this soft brick? Gosh am scared. Kindly help. How can I get the recovery mode back?

If you have root, try download goo manager and install twrp recovery. Goo manager can be found at the play store..

Don't worry,just go into download mode and try to flash stock Samsung firmware.

Finally was able to boot into stock recovery.
Flashed Philz 5.15 thru PC ODIN and installed Dr. Ketan V6_1.
Reset Flash counter from 7 to 1 with Triangle Away.
How do I reset it to zero?? Tried Dr. Ketan Tool but it reverts the CWM Recovery to stock and looses root. Not able to use Triangle Away afterwards. Any help?

If you have a custom recovery your flash counter will always be one. You either have to flash stock recovery or there is an option not sure if it's only in the pro version to set triangle away at boot but i have read it's not advisable. Search the forum there is a thread on it but it's an old one

I lack the knowledge but I think Triangle Away resets that as well.
Flash a recovery with Odin, let us see how it goes from there :fingers-crossed:
after recovery i can get to cwm again. im going to try and install red pill kernel, then use automatic binary counter reset from triangle away. hope that works

Recovery Fail!

So two days ago I thought about installing Vision X rom on my Note 3 (T Mobile).
I downloaded the ROM and then backed up my current ROM (nandroid). I had Phillz touch recovery then.
Then I thought about going to TWRP and thus I downloaded the latest zip for my phone and flashed it via Phillz upon trying to reboot into recovery it got stuck in the screen "Rebooting Recovery...".
When I restarted it would still try to reboot into recovery and get stuck. I got out of that by going into download mode and then selecting "Restart Phone".
After that I looked for solutions and upon failing to find any I thought about going back to stock and starting from ground zero. I managed to flash the latest stock using Odin however I forgot to do a factory reset before hand.
When I tried to do a factory reset in my, now stock, phone it failed and then got stuck trying to get into recovery. It would flash "Rebooting Recovery..." then restart and flash that in a loop.
I have lost my root as well in the process and trying to root using Odin and CF-Root just get's me back in the recovery boot loop. I can use the phone OK however this is not a stable situation.
I'm sure I've made some serious errors in the tinkering and would like to get my recovery back. I really love Custom Roms. Any kind and knowledgeable souls out there to help me in my cause?

Go to the Playstore and download TWRP Coordinator and then
use it to install the latest TWRP recovery for your phone.
Once you can get back into TWRP recovery you need to flash
the cf-autoroot for your phone. Be sure you flash the CORRECT
version of cf-autoroot for your phone's model.
Good luck!

The app is constantly crashing!
It would start for a second then close. I tried the TWRP manager as well with the same result.
I've lost root access when I Odined back to stock, won't I need root access to install new recoveries?
Sounds like you flashed the stock 4.4 firmware and now need recovery to root. Flash this TWRP file using Odin http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Once you flash it, you need to boot into recovery to install supersu to root.
Switch off the Galaxy Note 3 (remove the battery and reinsert if needed)
Next, press and hold simultaneously Volume Up, Home and Power.Release the buttons when the screen flickers and wait for the TWRP menu.
Select Reboot, then System and install Supersu for root.
Once booted, open Supersu to update it and grant permission.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

SM-P600 and TWRP

I have followed EVERY guide I could find on here on how to install TWRP via odin and it's not working...
I have tried to use 2.6.3.3 to 2.7.1.0 and no matter what I do it's not working... it just continues to go back to the stock recovery and isn't installing via Odin at all.
I have unchecked the auto-reboot in Odin as it says... Nada.
What am I missing? I've been at this 3 hours and about ready to lose my freaking mind...

Ok the ONLY thing that worked was Odin 3.07 and TWRP 2.6.3.3
Interesting.... IT's now working
very important is to boot directly into recovery just after flashing and don't let your tab go to android.
if you don't do that, recovery will be replaced by stock.

[HELP]Dr.Ketan ROMV8.1 Not Booting

I installed [4.4.2][27.07.14]Dr.Ketan Custom ROMV8.1 N3 & S5 Features MultiDPI - Goodbye edition., then flashed the ND3 bootloader via odin. It showed success but the phone is not booting and is stuck on the Samsung GALAXY Note II Screen and is not going past it. I then flashed the stock kitkat ND3 recovery. It showed success but phone didn't boot up. I then re-installed the ND3 bootloader, odin again showed success, but still no booting up.
Now i dont have access to any recovery. All I can do is to enter download mode.
What step am i missing out? Please help gentlemen.

Which recovery are u using ?
Try phillz 6.26 n then report back

I had philz 6.26 previously, then i flashed stock recovery via odin, then i again flashed philz 6.26 via odin, but i cant access recovery by the Vol UP+Home+Power combination.
i installed dr. ketan's v8.1
booted in.. it was working fine..
but as i was on older bootloader (MC3), i had wifi issue and phone not charging when phone switched off.
so i decided to flash ND3 bootloader.
i flashed it via odin, it showed success, rebooted the device but it didnt go past the Galaxy Note II startup image.
i had then read somewhere that flashing the stock ND3 bootloader recovery, the bootloader gets flashed properly,
but even then i couldnt get it to boot, and i had lost philz 6.26 recovery as well, which i anyways couldnt access to even earlier.
i then flashed philz recovery 6.26 again, but still cant get access via the 3 button combo.
so now, the 4.4.2 rom is presently installed, and i cant get the phone to boot. i can only make it enter download mode.
i tried to flash an old 4.1.2 firmware but that failed, and required a PIT file i suppose, which i dont have.
so thats all the problem.
Guys any help from from anyone will be highly appreciated.

Recovery Mode not working
I succesfully rooted my i9082 using Kingo root. Then, I tried flashing CWM using Odin3 in download mode. Even after successfully flashing, the phone doesn't boot to recovery, it stays stuck at the Samsung boot logo. Even the stock recovery seems to have disappeared. The phone boots normally and into download mode, but I can't seem to access recovery or even bootloader. I have tried several different custom recoveries, and my custom BIN down is at 7 counts. Some applications I got off the Play Store say that I have no available recoveries installed/recognized. What do I do?
I also have same problem......!!!
