Urgent Help - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Need a hand
I bought a Note 2 in second hand. And the guy who sold it to me propably tricked me. It had Ditto Note 3 ROM installed and after a few hours of use it froze, got to the Samsung Logo and staye there for hours. The only solution was a battery pull.
It happens 2 or 3 times a day.
Read a lot of threads.... updated the firmware, the bootlader, the recovery, installed the latest version of Ditto ROM and the same stuff.
Now i'm in boot loop and can't get out of it.
Any solution? what can i do?

Do you want a Stock Rom or likin' current OS? If you want to keep current OS then try reset you phone in "Settings >> Backup & Reset"
And battery pulling out of phone is not the only option in situation like this, you can also press and hold power key for 4~8 secs it'd also restart the phone.
Note: Backup Internal Storage content before resetting.

-
Insert the Stock Rom or Custom Rom.

It was hard to understand but did you mean: "Recovery mode and download mode does not work on my phone. It's not charging in this case. Does this process unbrick the phone with kies?"
Still hard to understand what you mean, did you brick your phone when trying to install clockworkmod?

That's good!
As in: your phone still has life!!
Does stock Rom work for you? Reflash it but you MUST wipe Data and Cache using the STOCK recovery before you reflash Stock!!
Remember to follow flashing instructions posted by the Dev!

I have stock now on it, but I haven't wiped Data and Cache with the stock recovery, because I use CWM. This afternoon I will try to do it with the stock recovery.
Now I have wiped everything with the stock recovery, and then I tried to install the stock rom. I still have the bootloop. I really don't understand it. It has to work...
//When I click on "test redbend fota[FS]" in the stock recovery I get this error:

E:failed to mount /data (invalid argument)

Hi, I had a similar problem a day ago, I corupted CWM and couldn't boot into android, When i started my phone a samsung logo appeared and then black screen, I could access download mode ( Power button, Volume - and home button ) So all you do after you enter download mode is download Odin multi downloader, and a flashable ClockworkMOD recovery, ( PM me if you want links ) and flash it into the phone, after that just reboot the phone and you will be just fine.
Press the Thanks button if i helped

Hey,
First put your phone into download mode and plug it in to your PC and make sure Odin recognizes it, then add Ancora.ops in the OPS window and the recovery.tar.md5 in the One package window. Also make sure that One package , Auto reboot and Protect OPS are checked, you should uncheck reset time because i've hear that it is causing some problems. Then just click the " Start " button and sit back, you phone will be back on in few minutes.
Just a question : Did you have any android installed when you corrupted the recovery? If yes, after you flashed the recovery the phone will reboot and will boot into android, if not then just flash the rom file if you already have one in your sdcard/internal storage.
Your phone is soft-bricked, don't worry, it will be back and running again :laugh:
I just corrupted my recovery on my phone on purpose to try if the cwm recovery works. And yes, it worked, so it should work on your phone too.
Good luck flashing your recovery, Please answer back because I want to know if this method worked.
Here are the files, just extract the rar file
Finally i have KitKat!!
Finally Solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After long days and hundred tries, it works finally. The story is as below:
1- I failed to download the CWM 6.0.4.5 directly in this state using ODIN,
2- I downloaded the stock (Yes old 2.3.6 ginger bread ROM) using ODIN. However this version keep rebooting and never completed the start up.
3- With ROM installed now (even it's not booting), i tried to download older version of CWM using ODIN (CWM 5.0.4). It was successful!!
4- I tried to do the restore for my old system, but it failed as i did backup with newer version.
5- I flashed Monster ROM (4.2.2), it works wonderful.
6- I downloaded the CWM 6.0.4.5 finally using ODIN.
7- Now i'm using 4.4.2 on my mobile finally.
Advice: Never do a flashing to your mobile when you are not fully concentrating what you are doing. Also, make sure to download the right tool and ROM for your device.
Thank you for everyone who tried to help me.

Ok. As a note of advice for the future, don't just install ROMs one on top of the other. Do it clean, always, to avoid such problems.
For all ROM installations, please, follow the steps below:
First, make sure you got the ROM and the correct Gapps on your External SD Card.
After that, enter CWM and:
select "wipe data / factory reset"
go to "mounts & storage" and format /system. This is extremely important!
under the same menu, format /sdcard0 (be careful NOT to format /sdcard1, or /external_sd for older CWM versions, by mistake)
install the ROM (from the external sd)
install Gapps (from the external sd)
reboot your phone
Please, note that every step of this tutorial is mandatory!
Note: if you've got pictures/videos/documents, but NO application data (such as specific app files/settings), that you want to save, move them to a location on your External SD Card or a computer, because you're about to format the internal memory. If you want to move them back, you can do it after flashing the ROM.
Hope it helps.

Ok, please, try replacing your CWM recovery with this one here.
You can either use the tar.md5 file and flash it via ODIN (using a Windows PC) or, if you would have a working ROM, download the zip file, extract the recovery.img from it and flash it via Flashify (downloadable app from Google Play Store). Tell me if it makes any difference. The new CWM version should be 6.0.4.5.

I tried to mark and unmark "auto reboot"
Flash process only succeeds if it autoreboots.
AND have you uninstalled samsung kies? You can manually close all kies instances and processes via task manager, but its more safe to uninstall it and only install samsung USB drivers.
This is how you did?

Odin 3 auto re-boot - STUCK on reboot screen. Help!

I've been having some issues keeping my Tab Pro 8.4 rooted. It doesn't seem to want to stay rooted after rooting.
I installed CM13 on the device about a week ago and its been buggy as hell. I went to install CM13 updates and for that root had been lost again. When I try to reroot (using the guides provided) Odin3 works fine until the tablet tries to re-boot. At that point it gets stuck on the reboot screen and goes no further. I can't flash anything or get the device to get past that re-boot screen.
Any advice?

if you are losing root by upgrading your rom, all you should have to do is flash supersu zip via custom recovery after your rom upgrade
try holding vol - and power till you see a glip in the screen at samsung splash and let go this should take you to your custom recovery.
if that doesn't work you will need
to fix your current issue, you will want to download your stock firmware, push via odin3 (let tab fully boot) then push your custom recovery via odin3.
if your custom recovery worked with vol - and power just start here
then flash your cm13 rom, gapps, then the supersu zip
@AustinTech

also holding vol+ and power takes you to download mode for odin

if you are losing root by upgrading your rom, all you should have to do is flash supersu zip via custom recovery after your rom upgrade
try holding vol - and power till you see a glip in the screen at samsung splash and let go this should take you to your custom recovery.
if that doesn't work you will need

How do I push the stock firmware via odin3? I can get into download mode and then run odin3 but I'm not sure how to push firmware through the program. I'd also need to find the stock firmware.
Sorry if these are basic questions, but I'm not all that familiar with rooting. This is only my second device. And thanks for your help!

go to www.sammobile.com and go to firmware. then type in sm-T*** in the search bar(I believe your device is sm-t320). search then download your firmware based on your country. cellular south is US
open the zip with 7zip or winrar and extract the .tar.md5 file
after you download this go to download mode on your tab
then plug in via usb to pc make sure the com light turns green in odin
then run odin 3
click AP button
select the .tar.md5 file
wait for it to load
then press start and wait for about 20 min until your tablet reboots to the origonal setup
everything will be stock like when you bought it @ this point you will have to redo everything you did when you bought it to regain root and custom recovery
same issue

I've downloaded the firmware but what the hell is a .tar.md5 file? I don't see anything like that in my extracted files.
I also don't have a PA button on my odin3

Where did you get you firmware? I tried sammobile.com but the download was took 12 hours and both times gave me corrupt files.
I went to a different site and downloaded what I thought was the correct firmware but since there is no .tar.md5 file in the extracted files I'm thinking no...
Alright, sammobile is downloading a bit faster now so maybe in 2 hours I'll have the correct firmware. I think the site I used earlier was crap.
I educated myself on what a .tar.md5 file is as well and I think I'll be set once I have the firmware.

Yeah sammobile was pretty slow for me too. Just make sure you have your tab!et in download mode before you connect it to the computer.
if you still have problems with sammobile you can download the firmware from the samsung servers with the tool SamFirm

also in regards to your first post, CM13 has built in root, you don't need to manually root it, if you are then that's why it's breaking to enable root in cm13 go to settings -> developer options - > root access (then select apps, adb) this setting will persist over all future flashes, to enable developer options go to Settings -> about tablet and tap the build number 5 or 6 times to enable the option.

Help with ODIN.

Hey Guys.
i've got 2 Questions :
my mobile got stuck at Samsung logo due to Full Storage my friends told me to Reset it via odin.
i want to so i downloaded its md5 from Original source and i tried 3 Versions of ODIN 3.04 , 3.07 and 3.11
all i've got odin fail after BcmBP.img
i've searched for that problem and all the solutions i've read is to change the file , use another USB Solt or usb for the mobile
i've tried them all
firstly i'm using laptop and i've tried all the 3 Solts the same problem
and i've downloaded another File still the same
i didn't have Kies to stop it from Task manager and i've stopped Antivirus.
Note : my mobile isn't rooted , it must be rooted to work with Odin ? (BTW it's the 2nd Question ) if it's how could i root it via Laptop ?

Bro it's not how u reset ur phone using Odin..try this-
Switch off ur phone or just take out battery for 5sec and put it back in ..
Now press power+home+volume up button at the same time..
If u press above buttons correctly , u will enter recovery mode there just scroll down using volume buttons and use power button to select factory reset and delete user data and cache.
Done reboot and u will be fine

Thanks for your reply but now i think that my frimware system is down.
firstly it was stuck at samsung logo and it doesn't even open. showing that message Firmwave upgrade has encountered an issue please select recovery mode in Kies.
and i've downloaded recovery (CWM) for my phone and i tried to reset factory in it and reboot the device it shows Samsung GT-i9082 Duos and nothing happens.
CWM has an option that it could install something from SD Card.
that file which i use in Odin would it work if i installed it by this way ?
