stuck at Samsung Logo Note 2 ATT

Stuck on the samsung logo.
The battery drained dead, and I waited until I got home to charge it. I plugged it in and the grey battery popped up and a loading wheel, but it froze.
Now it doesn't turn on. I switched batteries and it goes to the samsung logo and sits there. I tried VolUP+VolDown+HOME+Power and All the other button combos and still nothing just goes to samsung screen and reboots, then I notice the led light flashes red very faintly and once quickly then the logo comes back up.
Any ideas?

Did you root or install custom recovery?

No I haven't tried to do anything of the sort. I just got this phone when it got released, and haven't explored that much with it yet. It just suddenly doesn't work after the battery drained dead.

I would just go back from where you bought it a get it exchanged then.

Yeah I'm just going to hate to lose everything because I couldn't do a backup...
Sucks.

Root install recovery and clear cashe partition and dalvik cashe. Use stock rom image with SU injected and do not wipe. Or exchange and loose everything

My girlfriend drained her battery until the phone shut off. Had to leave it on the charger for almost an hour before it would boot. I thought it should boot as soon as I plugged it in but that's not the case. Try letting it sit and charge for awhile.

I left it on the charger for almost 3 hours. And nothing, not even the loading icon over the battery would disappear.
Could someone point me in the right direction for rooting etc... as the user described above?

Not sure your going to be able to root with a non-booting phone. Here are a couple links about rooting
Chainfire's method you need download mode
mrRobinson's root injected stock Roms, also need download mode
Good luck hope one of these works for you.

Just my $0.02 worth.
My suggestion is make sure you are using the original, Samsung battery. Let it charge for 8 - 10 hours. Take it off the charger, remove the battery from the phone, wait several minutes; then replace the battery and try to boot.
If that doesn't restore, I'd take it back to the store from which you purchased it, and see if a new, oem battery will let it boot. The store should try to do everything they can to help, short of replacing the phone. But it may just be your phone has gone bad -- in which case rooting isn't going to help...
Good luck.

Intall CWM with odin then reboot in recovery and install stock rooted .zip or stock based ROM. Its called a dirty install. You can do this by placing the .zip in a microSD then install from external in CWM. You will end up with all your old crap but the .zip will replace your corrupted files. I recommend you save everthing as soon as it boots and yhen do a clean install of whatever ROM you want even if its stock.

reinstalled stock ROM, stuck on logo
I recently got an AT&T note 2. I rooted and installed cwm recovery. I tried installing Android Revolution HD 5.0 after running their superwipe script. Everything went smoothly except the SIM was not recognized. I couldn't get it to work so I tried 2 other ROMs and I had the same issue. I decided to go back to stock and wait for Cyanogen to release a ROM.
The issue I am having now is that the stock ROM downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650 and another stock ROM (KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user_low_ship.tar) won't boot. I can successfully push them to the phone from Odin, but then they reboot and get stuck on the Samsung logo. The phone doesn't give any error messages, no strange leds on, no reboots, it just sits there with the Samsung logo pulsing. I can still boot into the download mode (vol down, home, power).
Any advice on how to get to a functoning ROM? At this point I don't care if it is stock or custom, I just need something that works. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You should only flash ROMs from the "AT&T Galaxy Note II Android Development" section. I think Revolution HD is not an AT&T ROM, I don't know about the other ROMs you flashed (as you didn't say what they where). Those ROMs probably flash a non AT&T compatible radio on you phone. You should read and re-read and make sure you know what to do and what ROM can can flash before you start flashing.
Do you have a custom recovery installed, CWM or TWRP? Have you tried using a different computer and different cable?
Maybe try flashing the AT&T modem and them a correct ROM and see if that helps. Honestly, I'm not sure how to help you beyond that.
Good luck...

Back up and running

I was able to get into the cwm recovery and load a new ROM onto the external SD card, then install it. I went with the Jedi ROM this time and it worked. I think you are correct that I was using ROMs for the wrong version of the phone. Everything is up and running and I have full functionality. Thanks for the tip!

get yourself a jig dude, if you were really stuck you could have just put that badboy in and it would take you to dl mode, from there you could have odin'd yourself anywhere you wanted to. A thought for next time you get yourself into a situation you think isn't recoverable.
if you are a in a bloop you can usually get to recovery and from there sort yourself out. I know you are ok now, but this may still help someone else.
A jig is like a condom... protection even if you think you don't need it, you should prolly use it.

Was it error 7, if so its because you need to remove the asserts from the ROM. Also if you flashed a ROM from another model that is not compatible with your phone, you probably soft bricked or fully bricked it. If it goes into download mode, its not fully bricked. Try download mode by holding volume down, home, and power button together. Also philz advanced cwm recovery is the only one not giving me any problems these days.

I wish my phone would even go to download mode, I think is fully brick

[Q] Trying to revert back to stock, ended up soft bricking my phone

I searched but seems like everyone else has a slightly different situation than I do and I don't want to screw my phone up any more.
I picked up a Galaxy S5 and wanted to give my Galaxy S3 to my mom.
(This next process happened almost a month ago, so I forgot many of the useful details, I'm really sorry about that)
I don't remember which ROM I was running, I'm fairly certain it was CM10 that hasn't been updated in almost a year. I ended up rebooting and flashing a stock rom that I had backed up on my computer. I flashed it and I got a weird message. The phone wouldn't boot to the ROM and kept going to the home screen. I tried a different stock ROM that I got online, got the same issue, so I tried another source's stock ROM. I got a weird error, phone shut down, and wouldn't power back up.
It would vibrate once when I held the power button, but it didn't do ANYTHING else. I tried doing the power+volume down trick, vibrated twice, did nothing more than that. I got fed up, took the battery out and the memory card, and let it sit in a drawer.
At this moment the only thing the phone does is a short vibration when I do either the power button or power button + volume down.
Today I decided to try to recover it and saw something about a USB Jig I can buy on eBay that may help.
Is this something that may work or is my phone permanently bricked? If the Jig does work, where should I get the stock ROM for this phone, and if it matters, how do I know which stock ROM to install?
It's an AT&T Galaxy S3 16gb model.

here is a thread for stock ROMs.
do you know your bootloader and baseband version?

I don't know any of that.
Also what's the difference between MJ2, LK3, LG1, and LEM?

Sounds like you flashed an incorrect ROM and/or bootloader onto your phone.
The bootloader is important because if you have the mjb and newer bootloader, flashing an older bootloader will brick the phone.

I can see me flashing the wrong rom, but is the bootloader attached to the rom package?
If the bootloader is ****ed, will the jig work for me or am I out of luck?

Where did you get the last ROM you flashed? Provide a link if you can.
Have a look at the debrick thread as it may be helpful if your phone can't get into download mode. The jig may or may not help but it's good to have one for Samsung phones.

I honestly have no clue, the only rom I could find in my downloads folder on my computer that I can't identify as a custom rom is "pac_d2lte", and I remember the d2lte part throwing me off even though thats what a few sites said to download.
The Jig worked, btw, I'm at the download screen with the phone plugged into my pc, should my PC be showing it as an external device? Cause it doesn't show it in "My Computer".

Can I just take an SGH-I747 rom off this page and flash it with ODIN?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33570269#post33570269

I would not flash any stock rom until you know the bootloader version on your phone.
Since you can get into download mode, flash philz touch recovery for the d2lte and flash a custom rom such as cm11 onto your phone to at least get it booted so you can confirm the bootloader and baseband.

I actually just did just that. It seemed to restore my phone to working condition. It seemed a little buggy during set up, but I don't know if it's because I was running it without a sim card or not. So far it looks like it's running just fine.
In other words, this is what I did (in case someone has the same problem and stumbles across this thread):
Purchased a Samsung Galaxy Jig from Amazon
Downloaded one of the LK3 ROMs from this thread
Downloaded Odin 307
Connected the Jig to my phone to allow it to boot to download mode
Once in download mode I unplugged the Jig and plugged the phone into my PC
I launched Odin and it found my phone right off the bat.
With the settings "Auto Reboot", "F. Reset Time", and "PDA" checked, I clicked on PDA and selected the ROM I just downloaded.
I clicked start, Odin did its magic, and my phone rebooted to the setup screen

I didn't see your post before I flashed. I took a gamble and it seems to have worked.

Flashed Wrong Kernel... Where To Go From Here? [6.0.1] [SM-G920P]

EDIT - Solved! If you have this same issue, flashing the stock ROM will likely fix the problem. The working ROM I used can be downloaded Here : www( . )androidfilehost( . )com/?fid=24459283995306913 (remove parenthesis)
Credit to user koop1955 for providing the link in another thread.
REMEMBER TO ONLY USE IF YOU ARE ON 6.0.1 AND HAVE THE SPRINT SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 MODEL SM-G920P DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID.
Hello, I was following a guide to root the S6, and as a part of the guide you flashed the "Space-X" kernel onto the phone with ODIN. Well, the kernel was meant for the model SM-G920F and not the SM-G920P. I realized my mistake as soon as I booted the phone and suddenly I have no touch screen or cell service.
Reading up on it, I discovered that flashing incorrect kernels and ending up with a non-functioning touch screen is likely an indicator that the digitizer itself was fried, however I flashed TWRP and discovered that my touch screen indeed works! So I can use the touch screen functionality in the TWRP menus, but when booting the phone to its normal screen I do not have the touch screen functionality. I can still use the phone through a mouse OTG cable, and besides the lack of service or touch screen, it is completely normal (even rooted).
I have tried flashing stock firmware onto the device through ODIN however I receive an error every time I attempt to do so. I have tried different USB ports, re-installing drivers, restarting the PC, you name it.
Currently I am not using the phone, however in its current state I have the (incorrect) Space-X kernel and TWRP Version 3.0.0-1
Would replacing the kernel with one meant specifically for the G920P likely fix my issue? How would I go about doing that? What else would you recommend I try? Ever since I discovered that the touch screen may just be non-calibrated instead of totally fried, I've had a burning hope inside that I can salvage this phone. This time, however, I'd like to get some more experienced opinions.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I guess your emmc is dead. The exactly same situation happened to me few months ago. I tried many things(flashing different android versions of different roms, different versions of kernels, recoveries, flashing different modem files, odin firmwares with 4 file and e.t.c.). Also searched for solution in many phone services. Then I figured out that my emmc is dead. I bought new motherboard and emmc from aliexpress. Now, I'm still using my s4 mini with new motherboard. I couldn't replace new emmc because I don't have proper bga reball station
