Hi , I am trying but always I get low battery wront.. but the battery is full charged. Can you help me? My phone is f240k but the model info is E988AT. I am using win 7 64bit.

Will this restore an IMEI number after a botched unlocking?
(The IMEI is good, legit, and mine--I messed up a step in FreeGee and now it reports as 0.)

This is the one I have used the last 5 times under a variety of messed up situations and it always works. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND TAKE YOUR TIME. It seems like a lot to do but it is not that bad after the first time you have all the files. Make a "Phone" folder on your computer and put all the files in there and keep everything nice and tidy. Follow the instructions and it will fix just about everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660
P.S. When you get everything downloaded and unzipped..and you start flash tools with a # you found on the internet..maybe something like 39B0-IH19-4UAO-G6T8. you have checked manual mode on flash tools and put in the file locations in the top two slots, and you finally hit the yellow arrow at the top left....it will say "waiting" for about a minute. THIS IS NOT waiting on you to plug phone in!! You plug phone in when it says ready and that window with "waiting" goes away. Do not unplug the phone either just because it reboots. You need to wait until the bar turns blue and it says complete. This happens around 522 seconds or after.

this just saved my phone from being stuck on recovery! thanks!

I wonder if anyone has solved the battery issue with this method ????
Many users report that while using this method all goes well till around 45% complete and they get a message "Can not continue due to low battery level, please charge phone fully and try again".
This despite the phone being fully charged.
A very common problem it seems.

[Q] PLEASE, Need urgent help unroot my Att Galaxy Note 2 Please!

Hi guys, I have had my Galaxy note 2 I317 for only 7 weeks now with the 4.3 update. A couple days after I had it, I rooted the phone. However, 2 weeks ago, the sim card reader stopped working. I contacted samsung since I was still under warranty and they told me to send the phone so they can fix now. Now while trying to unroot it, I flashed it using the wrong stock firmware. I used 4.1 instead of 4.3 firmware. Now the phone is stuck to the Samsung logo and I am so depressed. I need help finding the 4.3 stock firmware and telling me exactly what to do in order to unroot the phone, reset the binary count to zero, so that i can be able to send the phone to Samsung to be fixed.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Were you on 4.3 when you rooted the phone? If so did you trip Knox? You may not be able to get a warranty repair if you did.
However you may not need one. Have you tried just getting a new SIM card from your carrier? It might just be a bad SIM.
How did you come to the conclusion that the reader was broken?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

If your stuck in Samsung logo try flashing 4.3param.tz using Odin.
And most likely you tripped knox.
So you lost warranty.

Thanks for your quick reply. I was indeed on 4.3 when I rooted the phone. ABout knox, I may have done it without knowing. how was I supposed to trip knox? I hope I did not. Regarding the sim card, the phone definitely has a problem: we have tested several sim cards from different companies in it, but it does not work. before that, I even went to my company, changed my sim card. That new one worked in my friends phone but wouldnt work in mine. the first day it had just a bit of signal then 2 days later, no signals at all. Please let me know about how I was supposed to trip knox, so that I see if I did it or not
Thanks

Everything you need to do is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618447
Next time, all you had to do was open SuperSU app and do a Full unroot from there, and run triangle away to reset counters.
Here's the instructions on Page 2 on the Dev thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992303
If you do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618447, all you have to do is the Triangle Away to get counters reset.
Since you have rooted, and IF you were on the FULL Stock MK6 ATT ROM, you have tripped Knox. You will see that when you run Triangle Away or if you go into Download Mode.
Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Triangle Away will not reset Knox Warranty Void counter.

What are you trying to flash ?? I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_ATT.zip
When it fails, what does it say it's failing on ?

The first step finally worked, you're the best, thank you. I am about to start the next step, but since I have to reset the binary count to 0 using Triangle away, at what specific step should I install Triangle away? and how should it happen? I dont think it is precised in the next 2 steps. Thank you and I will be online waiting for your answer in order to get that done tonight.

You do not need Triangle Away to complete any of the other steps. The upgrade to i317UCAMH3 does not do any checks.
You should be booted into the stock ROM 4.1.1.
These are your next steps
SECTION 2: OTA to MH3
You are now booted into the original stock 4.1.1 Note II ROM, i317UCALJ2.
You do not need to set anything up except your wireless connection to download the 302 MB OTA update. Cancel all setups and make a Wifi Connection. (connect to a wireless connection to not use Phone Data)
After you have made a Wifi connection:
Go to Settings> About Device> Software Update
If you have setup account info for anything that's fine.... Continue on.
It should come up and tell you an update is available.
[If it says update not available, go to Settings Date/Time and take auto sync off. Advance the date one day and try again]
Complete the steps in the Update Windows (Simply by clicking NEXT or CONTINUE)
* You have flashed using ODIN to the original stock 4.1.1 Note II ROM, i317UCALJ2.
* You have now OTA’d to i317UCAMH3, which is the required baseline to OTA to 4.3.
After the reboot of the 302 MB OTA install, your phone will hang on the Samsung GALAXY Note II screen.
There are some unique steps that need to be done to get the install to complete successfully for the i317UCAMH3 OTA.
-First step is:
- Download 4.3param_tz.zip from http://d-h.st/OYC
- Extract the .zip file to get to 4.3param_tz.tar.
- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode.
Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Open ODIN and place the 4.3param_tz.tar file in PDA and flash.
This .tar DOES NOT contain ANY 4.3 bootloader. If you flash a .tar file that has a sboot.bin in it. It will fail. That is because the current OTA 4.3 bootloader is write protected, as of 1/19/2014 (when I wrote this)
Your phone will reboot and it will redo the OTA install and update again. Not the download portion, but the after download and reboot portion. Let it finish it 100 %.
- Pull phone’s battery and go into Download mode once again.
- Second step is:
You will need to download TWRP 2.6.3.1 and flash it in ODIN.
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0lt...lteatt.img.tar
This is necessary for an openrecovery script to run that is stored in the /cache directory from the update.
- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode.
- Open ODIN, put openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar in PDA slot. Click Start and let the phone reset.
- Your phone will reboot in TWRP. If not, pull battery and enter recovery mode boot into TWRP recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER). The script will run by itself.

Thank you. I tried so many times but there is no update available. what can i do? I try so bad by turning the auto synch off and going one day up, but there is no update still. I even try 2 or 3 days up, still no update. Same thg even happens when i turn the dates backward. Help please genius.

You can run the triangle away after everything is back up and running.
No need for paypal for me. Just pick your favorite charity and donate.

[Q] Softbricked after accidental update

So my rooted phone is now soft bricked. Any help would be appreciated!
Info:
- rooted with Kingo
- recently updated with 4.3 - therefore KNOX is now installed
- didn't like 4.3 and went back to stock 4.1
so everything was working all fine and dandy for like 3 or 4 days when I accidentally updated (stupid stupid stupid stupid reflex on an early morning)
I do not have CWM installed. I have the stock img of the i317 (I317UCAMA4_I317ATTAMA4_ATT.zip) and using Odin (as I've used it for the stock firmware I installed)
I've been getting a boot loop and would like to know if anyone out there is knowledgable enough to help me?
Please?
Thank you!
Edit:
Thank you for your quick response! Yes, I've tried and found those threads before, but I guess I forgot to mention that I also get the
"Firmware upgrae encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode i Kies &try again" screen
Doing the flash via Odin only gets me a FAIL! all of the time with these steps...

What fails ??? Is it stopping on sboot.bin ? If so that's the bootloader file and 4.3 won't flash over it.

Was able to flash a stock rom from the link of one the original thread you provided, got a PASS! from Odin. I also got a PASS! from TWRP. But it is still stuck in the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo, and does not go beyond that.

Of course I don't expect that you'll be seeing this now, but please know i do appreciate the help!
I started from scratch. But the thing is, I have been following this step by step.
I CANNOT do a factory reset.
Completed Section 1: Flashing LJ2 4.1.1 via ODIN - until Step 5 and 6.
*** Upon reboot the phone will hang. This is because of left over 4.3 file(s) not letting the system boot.
Pull the battery and let the phone sit for a few seconds, pop the battery in and boot into stock recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER) and do a FACTORY RESET then reboot.
When it hangs on the Pulsing Blue Samsung logo, do this step. (expect to do this)
Odin showed a green PASS! but it is still stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo. I have followed every step and every file to the letter that you recommended... I am unsure what to do now. I left it just in case it went to boot, but it's been 15 - 20 mins already... I'm happy to just get i back to 4.1 even "(

It does not. It gets stuck in Samsung Galaxy Note II logo. I know how to do Download mode and recovery mode. That's my problem. There is NO recovery mode anymore. I followed everything to the letter. If I am able to get to recovery mode, I will do a wipe and factory reset everything then problem solved... however this became a problem after the accidental update so I don't know what to do anymore. </3

I figured I might as well recompile everything you outlined offline in case I brick mine again...

Well, after completing everything and updating my apps, the ATT Device Manager is still rearing its ugly head. It did so again now, and when it rebooted it loaded TWRP, it went into recovery mode automatically without me pressing any buttons.
I am trying to find a way to remove it now, but I would further encroach upon your good graces, if you please, is the Device Manager/ATT update safe to let be?

Interesting it's keeping on checking for updates.
You can try going to applications, scroll pages over to All. Scroll down to ATT software update, press it and clear cache
Something is making is making it think is needs to keep checking.
I use TITANIUM Backup to freeze it. Going to need it backup if you want 4.4 update

Yeah, I thought it would be done. I wiped cache from it as you advised. So I guess I'll have to pay for Titanium Backup. Sigh. Some things must be unavoidable. Nevertheless, I cannot thank you enough. It got my baby working again!

Which steps have you completed?
What are you flashing in ODIN?
4.1.1 stock firmware?
The main step after the ODIN flash, and it reboots, before it gets to starting it's boot you need to power it off, pull battery whatever, and boot into stock recovery. Then do a factory reset. That step has recovered many phones stuck at the first white Samsung logo.
If it's stuck at the pulsing blue Samsung logo. There's another fix.

I could not get past the first step. I flashed the 4.1.1 tar linked in the first step ODIN says it passed, phone reboots and gets stuck at the white Samsung note 2 screen. I pulled the battery booted into recovery and got the same errors. Did a factory reset which gave me the same "can not mount" errors rebooted and still getting stuck at the same screen. Could it be the emmc bug?

Pull the usb cable out and pull the battery as soon as odin shows "Passed". If you let it start to boot on its own, its too late.
Timing is everything. Once the phone is disconnected and off, insert the battery and boot into 3e (stock) recovery, and factory reset. Then let it boot normally from recovery.

Thanks for the help, but i still get the same result. Only thing I can think of is the memory got messed up somehow.

If you've double-checked the steps, and redid your work very carefully, and your phone is still borked, you can use a JTAG service. The phone is flashed with a device connected directly to the phone rom chip. It costs $50 and takes a week. www.mobiletechvideos.com

I got the phone in trade for replacing a screen in a mega so if I can't get it going I will prob just use it for parts. If I can get it working I plan on using it to test drive straight talk. I may look up how to JTAG and try to do it myself I've J taged Xbox 360's but I'm sure that's a totally different thing.

If it was a EMMC brick it would not boot into recovery or download mode would it?

JTAG is usually the last resort after flashing wrong roms or kernels, but it sounds like this is the last resort, and it works.

Try everything in Post #1 from above... It's what you already have done.
But as soon as the phone boots from the ODIN flash. Pull the battery and do the factory reset.

I have a sph-l900 and I'm in the same boat. My recovery mode is all in red and won't go past the note 2 logo on start up. I never rooted out fear something like this happening and yet it has.

After exhausting every possible solution people gave me or I could come across, I caved in and sent it to Samsung repair. Turns out it was hardware that needed replacing. I heard it could just be a damaged internal memory or caused by a virus, but Samsung has fixed it for $70 and I should be getting it back this week.

[Q] I have turned my Note 4 into a Brick trying to root for the 1st time. Help?

I followed the instructions listed here.
androidorigin. c o m /samsung-galaxy-note-4-root-how-to/
It did not work and I am now stuck on the screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
I tried Kies and it says it is not compatible.
Anyone have the stock rom or know of a way to get this root?
I am fairly tech savvy but this is my first time rooting.

There are no Roms or stock image files that I am aware of. When someone releases one or the other. Flash TWRP in Odin and flash new rom through TWRP or Odin stock image.

I finally got one to stick and I appear to be rooted.

Then:
