I can get into Odin , but i cannot get into system to do a factory reset or anything, i get the white samsung galaxy screen
Help pls
Have you tried pulling the battery and then doing the 3 button combo to get into recovery? It is power, menu, and volume up, i think. I had the same issue after Odin'ing back to stock.
If you flashed a rom containing a bootloader image....and the device has already been updated to either the leaked 4.3 bootloader...or an official 4.3 loader....then any attempt to flash another bootloader will fail...
A bit more info on what you are doing would help...
Going from what rom to what rom ?

I managed to get it all fixed, i slipped up when i was going back to 4.1.1 to see about a battery charging problem and let it go to 4.3 ota and it caught me off gaurd....
I'm normally patient but it kinda pissed me off..
Thanks anyways..

Sorry for posting a new thread but I want to make sure I am heading in the right direction. I bought a Galaxy S3 yesterday that was rooted. I want to put it back to stock ROM. I downloaded Odin and the ATT Stock ROM's. Everything went ok and passed without fail, but my phone is stuck on boot. Googling around I found a how to where I could run CWM Recovery, but it seems like this is for rooted devices stuck at boot. I am looking to go back to stock. Will this work or is there something else I am missing? Thanks and I will begin searching on the forum for help.
Edit: My phone does go into dowload mode.

so dont worry you'll be fine as long as your able to go to download mode your phone is good
Heres how to restore to stock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypmqJbZqOaU
If you wanna root it again like a boss heres the link for that too:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoEVDgjTTdg
Great. Thanks for that link. I actually found that video and was looking for the drivers. I noticed the one he linked if for Sprint. My phone is ATT though. I clicked on the ATT link a little further down in his description where it says AT&T USA. I am assuming this is the correct file to install right? Now is that the TAR file or the drivers? He didnt post an AT&T link for one of those.
factory reset

It wont let me get into factory reset either. I hold power up, power and home and it goes to...
Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. I cant get into Kies because Kies doesnt connect to the device
Ok I followed QBkings video and everything worked fine and passed but I am still stuck on the Samsung screen. I know he mentioned factory reset but he did it once he was already into the actual phone. Mine wont get in.
You guys are all beasts! Thanks a million for the help. Factory reset finally worked! My phone didnt reset by itself though.
Well I see you must have been able to fix your phone!
It must be like the Atrix 2, but instead of FXZ restoration w/ RSD Lite, you use TAR files and Odin

Boot into recovery. Vol up + home + power. When your device vibrates and you see the blue text in the top left corner of the screen, release just the power button.
Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache
My SGS2 was working all morning until I pulled it out of my pants after class today.
It was on rooted stock ics, and I have no idea how it could have bricked in the first place.
First symptom was a bootloop. Since I wasn't anywhere near a computer, I decided I would just factory reset/wipe data and cache from the recovery.
After the phone rebooted, it would not proceed further than the "SAMSUNG" screen. I could not enter recovery mode at this point.
I get home and I odin the same stock 4.0.4 ics onto the phone, as well as 4.0.3.
As of now, only download mode works. Every time I try to boot to recovery mode, it gets stuck at the "SAMSUNG" screen. Normally, the Samsung logo would have a glowing effect, but it seems to be frozen now. The animation for the battery is also frozen when it is plugged in when turned off.
Seeing as it can at least get into download mode, I am assuming there is still hope in fixing it without having to send it somewhere else?
Help is much appreciated :]
what recovery are you using?
what do u mean odin the stock ics? if your recovery isnt working, then just odin into a older recovery of cwm, here is the tar file http://www.mediafire.com/?nz97zv1g13d1tcz after that you will have your recovery back working again.
So what I did was reflash the stock kernal in hopes of unbricking my phone. Hope that clarifies things...
I just tried your method above, and it didn't work. It is still stuck on the samsung screen after rebooting. x_x
Use this link http://galaxys2root.com/category/galaxy-s2-unroot/ it well set u back to stock. Once it is done wait the 10 mintues then boot into the stock recovery and clear cashe and factory reset. After that set up ur phone then reroot it make back up then flash away. Did this a couple of days ago working fine now. Good luck!!!

biglil1, I believe method you described would fix phones most likely bricked from custom roms.
However, my phone has never use a custom rom and it is on stock already; it has only been rooted. I have tried reflashing the same stock back to my phone but I have had no luck. Again, it was working fine but suddenly bricked mid day. I wasn't trying anything super fancy that would have bricked the phone in the first place.
Someone please help, I tried looking everywhere for an answer...
Its not just for reseting from a costum rom it can be used to return ur phone back to stock like the first time u unboxed it. When plugged in do u see a box highlighted yellow? If so try it again but revert back to GB then use Kies to update to ICS. Make sure u have the latest drives. Hopefully this way well work. As long as ur phone has some type of response u can recover it. Just keep tring make sure u dont unplug untill Odin says "pass" and ur phone reboots by its self.

If you are referring to the yellow box on odin, then yes I see it. I do not think I have a connection problem; everything seems fine and I see pass on Odin. I will try to revert back to now GB and see how that goes.
I swear people need to learn what Odin is ...for god sakes it what roots your phone

Tried flashing to stock GB twice now and no luck. I will do it a couple more times just to make sure....
bump, nothing has worked so far. What should I do now?
did you flash through odin or recovery? if you did it through odin, what kind of errors are you getting? maybe your download is bad? try to download from another source.

try recovery again: (pull battery then replace. immediately vol up + home + power. release power button when you get a vibrate/samsung logo and/or blue text in the top left corner)
if that doesnt work, i would use odin to flash back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625&highlight=stock+firmware
then root/install cwm, make a backup and then flash a new rom again.
About 2 at most. Just boot into recovery like he said and flash again. I'm sure CM updates downloads the ROM somewhere you can find. Why I don't like using updaters

First thing is to just step away for a minute i had the same thing happen to me. Put the ROM you want plus gapps on a sd card. and then get into revovery. at this point if you getting htat far into the boot you should have no issue getting into recovery it just kinda of a pain (usually take me 3 tries lol)
Hey there guys- pretty sure this isn't already posted, but apologies if it is.
Anyway, I bought a used NoteII recently, and there seems to be some weird stuff going on. I recently tried accessing download mode, but each time I do I get kicked into the stock recovery. (There's a little android on it's back with a red triangle with an exclamation mark on it if that helps)
I've also tried using Kies to restore, but after using Firmware Upgrade and Initialization, it says that my device doesn't support that.
Any help is appreciated!

Nope. Nothing. Still get the Stock Recovery menu.
All I want to do it revert back to stock.
From the stock recovery menu, I can apply an update.zip; could I just flash a stock zip?
If you have an external sd card, yes.

You might also try the tool found in this thread. It will get you back to stock and can help you move ahead with rooting etc when you decide to again.
Hey Guys,
I received an update on my unlocked AT&T note II sgh-i317 yesterday. It caused the phone to go blank. I flashed stock firmware UCAL which seem to go well but now the phone will not boot up . It just boots into white Samsung Note II logo. Any suggestions on what to do?. I already pulled battery and tried going into recovery mode and sI still keep getting the same thing.
Thanks
BootLoop due to OTA Update SGH I317
I received the same OTA update last night.
My phone was rooted but had stock Rom.
The update finished and now my phone is in a bootloop. The only option I have to power on the phone is by pulling battery, volume down/power/home. But even then, it will not allow me to fully power on.
I tried Kies software to install the update but was unsuccessful. I will also try unrooting.
Same thing happened to me. Rooted but otherwise stock GN2. Got the update, rebooted and it got stuck at the boot logo. I tried everything. Flashed CWM, then tried a couple different ROM's. Then went to TWRP recovery, and tried the Team Elektron ROM, that got a little farther, boot logo with sound, but it still hung. Tried a modem update, and even the bootloader - nothing worked.
Luckily I had just bought mine ($300 on Amazon right now) so I just sent it back as defective and ordered a new one. Gonna be real careful of the ATT update and maybe even skip it and go right to a custom ROM.

I tired clearing everything, tried flashing everything, nothing worked. When I flashed the Elektron ROM it got a little further, an animated logo with sound, but never fully booted. I then tried all their (Team Elektron) recommended fixes but nothing worked. Finally gave up and shipped it back to Amazon today.
Getting my new one tomorrow, going to root it and not accept any OTA updates and most likely flash a non-AT&T ROM.

I tried this approach. It didn't work for me. I downloaded the stock rom and flashed it with Odin. My screen is still froze on the logo,and my battery icon is grey as if it's not charging. I charge it now in a battery charger just to be sure it's charged. I can't afford to lose this phone. Can someone please assist.

What message did you receive when trying to flash? Did you flash the 4.4.2 ROM? What had you flashed beforehand
I'm not completely an expert but I've learned enough over the last 48 hours to fix my own phone.

Odin said the flash was complete and successful, but the phone still won't get passed the logo screen. There is no recovery with this 4.4.2 firmware. I can't do a system wipe without a recovery. I tried flashing a custom recovery but It's not working either. I need a way to flash a complete 4.4.2 stock with recovery.

I believe I am in the exact same boat. My note 2 had no modifications. Never tried to do anything to the phone in the way of new ROMs or rooting or anything. I picked up the phone and hit the home button the other night and the phone restarted, came up on the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen and stuck. Can't factory reset, same grey battery icon, can only power off by removing the battery, similar results when I try using Kies and Odin (assuming I am using them correctly). Will be following your thread and hoping someone can share some further advice...

So if you pull battery, then restart with the 3 button combo to get to recovery,
(Hold down Volume Up and Power button and Home button together) you should be able to factory reset from there.
