Need help asap!!!! Bricked phone!!!

hey guys I need some help now i'm new to this rooting process so i'm not to sure how it all works 100%. So i got it rooted and everything and i went to install a custom rom which I wanted to just upgrade from stock ice cream sandwich to jellybean. So now i'm stuck on the never ending Samsung screen. Now i've done my fair share of research and tried different things to unbrick my phone. Here are those things:
Tried to do the factory reset in stock recovery that's loaded after ROM install with Odin, no go.
Tired to Install CWM recovery and tried to do reset / wipe cache/ wiped davlik/ no go
Tried to re-download ROM and tried again, no go.
Now i'm still stuck at Samsung logo and i've waited good 15 to 20 min and still stuck.
So someone please help!
Thank you so much in advance!

What Jelly Bean image did you flash, exactly, and how?

that's the rom i tried to flash and I tired doing it via mobileOdin on my device.

Try using desktop Odin to flash it.
EDIT: perhaps try using desktop Odin to flash a stock (rooted) ROM from here, then use CWM/TWRP to flash the ROM you were trying to install; based on that thread I'm guessing the ROM is meant to be recovery-flashed.

Please desktop Odin flash stock firmware. Once that is done, factory reset through factory recovery.
Custom roms should be flashed through CWM or TWRP.

yeah i've tried that but still the same problem. Also when i put it into recovery mode it goes into Odin mode and it says:
product name:SGH-I747
Custom Binary Download: Yes (10 counts) - tried many times to flash to stock
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
it also says Downloading... Do not turn off target!!
thought i should let you know.

Recovery is vol up + home + power
Sounds like your volume down to download mode

well that explains alot lol i didint know there was a difference between volume up and volume down button when trying to put into recovery mode.. i feel like and idiot now lol but yes that worked thank you so much! im still a noob at this but with trial and error i shall learn.. thanks again!

Make sure that you wipe the cache prior to installing a ROM. A lot of times failing to do that can result in a bootloop like you are describing. When in doubt, go to recovery and wipe the cache before taking more drastic steps like reflashing.

[Q] Unable to boot to recovery, crashes [SOLVED]

I've bought global Galaxy Note 2 N7100 from Hong Kong with Kogan (online store)
Unlocked the device by using this method "How-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method" on google
[Odin v1.85 unknown CWM6 version]
After that, turning off the phone and holding down the Vol Up + Home Key + Power brings up the Galaxy Note N7100 screen, buzzes out and turns itself off.
I rewrote a new CWM recovery mode onto the device and tried it again, same problem.
[Odin v3.04 / ODIN-KashaMalagaTOUCHCWMRecovery-V6.0.2.7]
The next step I was going to take was to wipe the phone and install the stock Kernal, then using ODIN to unlock it again and trying to enter recovery mode again.
If this is the right step, I will do so.
If you could help me, it will be appreciated.
Android version : 4.1.1
Kernal version :
3.0.31-310959

I've reflashed the whole stock rom, then flashed ODIN-KashaMalagaTOUCHCWMRecovery-V6.0.2.7 with ODIN, still the same problem.

Try TWRP instead of CWM. You can find it here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/n7100
You could try rebooting into recovery using ADB from your pc or a terminal emulator on the phone by typing: su reboot recovery
Enviado do meu GT-N7100

After installing the app Goo.im I installed the TWRP recovery with it and rebooted the device into recovery.
It showed the same buzzing screen and turned itself off.
There is no noticeable file courruption within the phone and everything is just as same when I start the phone normally again.
Could this be a faulty device? If so, can I actually get a refund / return for it?
I also cannot receive my 3G data from my sim when my Galaxy S2 was able to recieve it.
Does unlocking and changing roms affect the availablility of 3G data?

Have you tried reflashing stock? Then rooting with cf-root and then flashing twrp with odin?

The 1st thing that I do is root with the "how to Root Note 2 [EASIEST METHOD]"at Youtube. like the topic and than after when the rooting process it will restart into recovery mode part at that part when I saw the note 2 word when restart the word were distorted and the note 2 word run everywhere and than become black screen for about 2-3 minit and than the phone restart on back like normal and my phone were rooted and got super user on it and I tested with titanium backup and can be used. After that I try to install cwm recovery and flash the CWM recovery like the app told me to, after that i try to backup my stock rom and than after restart to recovery mode the note 2 word show like when the rooting process the word distorted. After that i try goo manager to flash twrp and try go recovery mode and still same. I did not try to flash back the stock rom. can you guide me what should I do next about the cf root and flash twrp with Odin, i dint try it because Im noob at rooting note 2.
btw thx for reply i hope you can guide me what should i do next.

You can go to twrp site and download twrp for note 2 in tar format so you can flash it with odin just the same way as you flashed cf-root.
Do not use goo manager. For some reason it says that it flashed twrp but it does not flash it.
So in a few words.
DL twrp 2.3.3.2 in tar format.
Open odin and select pda and then select twrp.
Switch off your phone and boot in download mode by pressing volume down+home button+ power botton. When you see samsung logo realease power button. Keep the other two.
Press vol up to confirm
Connect your phone to pc and wait till it recognizes it.
Press start. Wait till finish.
It should be working after this.

Does CM flash a recovery of it's own maybe? Check their thread if it indeed does.

I don't know understand what you just said but my phone wouldn't boot properly into cyanogenmod, the screen would flicker around and go all weird then go blank. I then restored to me backup and later made a new backup and tried flashing Cyanogenmod again but the same thing happened. So again I restored to my back up but this time my backup didn't work and is doing the same thing as it did with cyanogen mod - screen flickers and flashes and goes all weird then goes blank

Galaxy S II won't get past Samsung logo

Hi,
I was trying to switch from AOKP to CM 10 on my Galaxy SII (SGH-T-989), so I booted into CWM recovery, did a factory reset and wiped the cache and dalvik cache. When I tried to flash Cyanogenmod, it gave me an error (the .zip was not valid or something to that effect), so I tried to restart into recovery again, but it wouldn't get past the Samsung logo. The same thing happens when I try to get into download mode. Odin somehow recognizes it anyway when I try to turn it on, but won't do anything.
tl; dr: Phone won't boot into regular, recovery, or download, but is somehow recognized by Odin.
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you can't get into recovery mode? Maybe you might have that sticky power button issue. When you try to boot normally, does the phone continuously vibrate?

Never mind, that didn't fix it.

Turns out you have to hold Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time for it to get into recovery, unlike other versions of the S II.

Please update op to say solved

First download the ODIN flash TWRP recovery file here: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jfl...2-jfltetmo.tar
ODIN flash the TWRP recovery TAR file using the PDA option in ODIN.
Boot the phone into recovery mode and do the following:
The only question I have is: "Can you get into TWRP recovery without any problems"?
If the answer is YES then all you have to do is to reflash the rom (install option in twrp)
BUT this time when you are in the AROMA installer be SURE that on each screen
where it asks you to select options that you select at least one item even if the item is
already selected by default select it again. Do not skip any options in AROMA installer.
If you do not select an item for each option the phone will again get stuck on boot screen or it will bootloop.
(P.s. the aroma installer will do the wipe)
Good luck!

Should of done a Nandroid Backup
