[Q] stuck in cwm - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey, have been reading around but kind of need a quick "this is what you do" answer!
so, flashed cw6 with odin, popped omni rom onto my device , rebooted into cwm6 and installed rom. Install aborted, and now it just boot loops to recovery as its formatted the previous rom.
All i want really is to get a stock rom onto the device (or a fixed status7 issue rom) but i cant for the life of me remember how to get the phone to go into a download mode so i can push the rom over.
Any help?

Download mode = phone off - home/vol down/power.

yup im in download mode, but im confused as to how to get a rom onto my device (its not showing up in windows and odin isnt liking .zips?)
also noticed this is in galaxy s2 and i have a note2, but principle is still the same!

That's beside the point. I'm asking mods to move your thread to Note II Q&A.

Okay so if you can get into recovery, then you should just flash any ROM from the development section of these forums.

You flashed a different phones rom. Which means the scripts and the radios and everything is off. Don't flash anything that doesn't have a T989 flashable thing oon it. You got lucly. Most people have a full brick. Be careful next time. And go to the Developers section. Download a stock 2.3.6 or Juggernaut v.4.1 and flash in this order
1. Place file on root of sdcard
2. Reboot recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik cahce (found under advanced)
3. Flash the rom you desire
4. Reboot.
5. Let it sit for a good 10 minutes

So is my phone bricked? Cause my friend told me it's boot looped. My current sdcard is from my old phone and doesn't have enough space, but I ordered a new one recently and should be coming in tomorrow or tuesday.

Answered you in the other thread you posted as well ...
IF you can get to download mode, find the Stock ODIN flash for t989, and follow the directions, ODIN does not care how full your SD card is ...
Then just odin. Find a stock one that has an Odin Rom next to he title and flasheed that.
1. Go into download mode, turn off unplugged. Then hold volume up and down and then plug in usb chord.
2. Open up odin 1.85
3. Click the pda part and browse foot your rom.
4.click start and be patient don't touch anything

Is this the same thing as putting the ROM on the SDcard and doing it from there?

Yes and NO ...
the term flash or flashing means writing new files to the phone ...
ODIN is pretty much a Samsung factory tool, it will overwrite anything that is on the phone with what you are trying to flash ..
Flashing from CWM recovery is a "Softer" way of doing it, it may or may not wipe, it may or may not replace corrupt files, depending on where and what they are ...
IF you are having major trouble with your phone, and can still get into download mode ODIN is the cleaner way to flash it back to stock, but, read read read read till you understand what you are doing, then read it again ....

Locked Bootloader

Hey i believe i have somehow locked my boot loader. I can flash the rom in the recovery mode but it does not show up after booting the device. Its stuck on juggernaut 5.0 which i was recently using. I factory reset my phone dozens of time but no luck. Tried every damn thing in the odin even took a developers help but no luck. Even he was shocked. The system seems to be frozen on juggernaut. Is there a way around this. I believe i cant even brick my phone since even odin doesn't flash anything
You already posted this.

Really serious this time. So you cant get into download mode and have your phone recognized by odin to flash stock rom???. If you can get into download mode abd odin sees the phone, you should be able to put the stock rom in pda hit run and it should work. Have you tried using heimdall instead of odi ?

I can get into the download mode and can flash it through odin as well but once the flash is successful and when it autoboots after the stock is flashed it goes back into juggernaut rom rather than going into stock rom. I dont seem to get hold of anything. I deleted all my files manually like pictures and notes and stuff but once i rebooted the phone they were all back again. One of the developers even helped me step by step but that didnt even work he was rather shocked. He told me that your boot loader might be locked and he said i am not even sure you will be able to brick the phone!!!
sell it buy a new phone lol

Now that your in download mode you can use Odin to flash to a stock rooted rom and go from there.

Go to firmwares.
Download the one for your phone.
Boot into download. Flash with odin.
The file u downlaoded is to be flashed via cwm or twrp. Not via odin. It will be a zip file. Flash the whole zip together.

Have you gotten back into twrp recovery yet?
If youre stuck in a bootloop which it sounds like...hold volume up home button and power until device turns off and once you see samsung logo let go.
Did you make a back up before you flashed? If so restore it and youll be fine. If not then you need to remember this...always always make a backup. Every thread on here says make a backup before you flash.
And btw I dont hate noobs. We all were at one point and I remember how stressful it can be when you're unsure of what youre doing amd think youve bricked. Pm me if you need help. As long as either you can get into recover via the method I said above or alternative method is plug you phone in your pc, open up cmd prompt in then folder you put all your android root files. (Hold shift and right click in a blank space in the folder, then go to open command propmpt here. Then type in:
adb reboot recovery
That will also get you in recovery.

Since you can get into Odin mode, grab a stock one click and get back to a working state.
Just go to the Dev section, stock rom repo and a full restore one click..

Let's just keep this simple and get your phone back in an operational state.
Then we can discuss more of where you are, where you want to go and how you're going to get there.
We don't know what you were running, what you flashed, etc to answer a furry of questions.

I don't think you're following the instructions correctly that MoHo gave you.
Go to the REPO. Select a One-Click Full Restore. Those have to be run from you PC.
Put your phone on the charger and turn it off.
Download and extract the One-click.
Launch the OneClick
Make sure you phone is charged to over 60%.
Get you phone into Download Mode - Power + Volume Down then Volume up to confirm.
THEN Attach it to PC and it should show up in the One-Click on some COMM port.
Click start and let it finish till it reboots your phone.
Then go back and read a whole lot more about what you're trying to do. Or yes you will brick your device.

Ok.
That issue, versus what we thought were the issues from the start, doesn't seem like what you flashed would have been the cause.
I'm not doubting that you believe that you're doing the flash process wrong, I'm doubting that the flash process is actually happening.
When you used the stock One Click, what did you use and what did you see?
To get the battery charging you may need to flash a kernel.
I would try just that in Odin - FL24, for example - and see if that helps.
