[Q] Did my phone get SDS? (GT-N7100) - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone was no longer booting properly anymore and was stuck at the Samsung logo. I tried reflashing DN3 to no avail as it was still stuck on bootloop. Then, I researched a bit on XDA and found that perhaps reflashing stock would do it some good. So I flashed stock on ODIN and it failed like 75% there and now I am left with Samsung's error of death: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again".
Now I can still access download mode and it displays my device model, but I don't want to screw it up by flashing the wrong bootloader or w/e so that's why I'm here. Is there anything I can do at this point or just admit I got screwed by SDS?

By no means SDS, everything is fine :good:
What was your last stock? Try to get newest firmware from sammobile and try again or run Kies to restore your device.

[Q] I'm stuck. Have tried everything.

Hi all,
I'm on Rogers GS3 (i747m)
I've searched and searched. I cannot find a fix to my problem.
Last night I downloaded the AOKP 10.16 update and was trying to flash it above my 10.03.
It gave me an error while flashing, but then the phone would boot and stay stuck at the glowing samsung logo.
I downloaded the stock rogers rom and tried to flash it using oding. Same thing would happen, glowing samsung logo.
I was finally able to flash a recovery image but now it won't recognize my internal sd and keeps telling me that there was an error mounting external sd. I can't format /data because of that.
When I try to flash another recovery through Odin 3.07, it keeps telling me "Odin downloader has stopper working." With Odin 1.85, it says "Odin communicator has stopped working."
I'm about to give up. Will keep searching. But I'm losing hope at this point.

Try this toolkit. It may help you. You can also try to flash twrp recovery. And do you have a nandroid backup?

any solution
hello, has anyone found a solution to this "odin has stopped working"? i have a gnex that has bad "volume down" and "power" buttons. so if my phone dies i usually charge it and then flash a recovery via odin to boot it back up without having to redo my whole phone. now everytime i try to use any version odin, the program crashes. i've seen a lot of people with this issue lately but since i do not have working buttons, odin is the only way i can boot my phone. please help ps. i know i don not have a s3 but i am going through the same issue and i need the odin to work so i can fix a s3 as well.

Whenever I get stuck at the Samsung logo boot animation, I reboot into recovery, factory reset, reboot into download mode and flash again with Odin. Works every time.

[Q] Can't Re-install Android to Galaxy S III

Hey everyone. I'm having problems with my Galaxy S III/SGH-I747. I was having problems with it shutting off randomly. I didn't start having this problem until I got the Android 4.1.2 update. I did a factory reset a few times and that didnt fix it. So I decided to wipe it completely and flash either 4.0.4 or 4.1.1 back on it. Something went wrong during that process and it failed. Now, I start it up, and it just says "Firmware Recovery Interrupted". No It won't let me do anything. I've tried the Emergency Firmware Recovery Tool with the Samsung Kies software, and it fails during that. I tried flashing the stock ROM again, and it fails. I even Rooted it, and flashed ClockworkModRecovery and tried installing a custom ROM. It failed during those. So I'm really stuck. Is there ANYthing I can do to fix this? If so, I'd really appreciate you sharing it with me. Lolz.
Thank you in Advance.
P.S. The picture below says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

Just reflash the same rom, this can happen if the odin flash fails. All you have to do is reflash the same rom, if it fails again then just try another USB cable. And one more thing, make sure that the rom you are flashing is the right one.
Are you flashing the phone on a PC? I'm asking because I think the latest release of Odin is 3.07. Using an outdated version of Odin and/or drivers may have caused of the problem.
Since you're on AT&T running 4.3, you cannot reflash an AT&T ROM because there is no AT&T 4.3 ROM that is flashable via Odin. Do not try to flash any ROM that tries to flash an older bootloader because this will brick your phone.

Borked Recovery flash, wrong model

I accidentally flashed my Note 8 with a recovery made for a i9105p.
I can get to download mode.
If I try to restart the device I get
"Firmware upgrade encountered
an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies
& try again".
Kies doesn't recognize the device.
ODIN doesn't recognize the device. I think this is a communication
issue though.
Help appreciated.
All the Best,
D. White
Could not turn the unit off so it died overnight.
Surprisingly I re-connected in this afternoon
and ODIN found it. Attempted another flash
with the CORRECT recovery. It failed but re-
initialized the stock one. It's now working,
mostly.
Would love to understand why I can't flash a custom
recovery on this thing. Seems everything I've found
is for the original stock 4.1 version. I'm running 4.2.2
if that makes a difference. ODIN usually FAILS! and
resets stock recovery.
Any ideas?
All the Best,
D. White
Flashed with Terok Nor ROM 4.2.2.
Everthing is great now.
All the Best,
D. White

Weird n7100 bootloop

Hi i was helping my friend to update his firmware. after doing so the phone is now stuck in a weird bootloop. i had seen my fair share of bootloops but this seems weirder than others. the n7100 logo would loop very quickly (sorta like flash) and keeps doing so. can't enter recovery mode at all, only download mode. plug it to odin and whatever i can throw at it i just got nand write start fail, be it twrp, multiple versions of stock rom. im at the end of my wits, so what should i try next? thank you for any input
What is the Odin error when trying to flash the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com? Tried different USB cables and USB ports?
I kinda have/had the same problem.
N7100 logo would bootloop quiet fast (doesn't get to the point where it should load the rom).
Can't enter recovery bc of that.
Only thing that works is download mode.
After trying to flash newest stock rom (4.4.2) it failed once (I think my cable gets too old...)
Next try it worked without a problem.
Problem persists.
Next step was flashing an older repair firmware (4.1.2) but it failed (I think bc of the 4.4.2 bootloader? IDK)
Then I tried to flash the newest stock again but with the pit file. Flashed without a problem but the problem was still there.
Last step I made was to flash the newest stock with the pit file and nand erase + update bootloader.
Tried it 2 times but it failed.
Now I'm stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Download mode got a red message also: "RPMB: INVALID RPMB DATA"
I don't know what to do now. Please help.
PS: It was a "new" motherboard from aliexpess, it had a chinese version of the stock 4.1.2 if I remember right and was already rooted when I installed it. I wanted to flash the newest 4.4.2 for the new modem and stuff and then upgrade to lineage. :/
