Been having some strange issues with my GN2 (low memory warnings when ishouldn't, phantom button presses etc). Decided to flash back to stock though Odin so I can start over. Went though Odin, it said it worked, but when my phone rebooted, nothing was different

Thats the log through Odin..dunno how it couldn't open that com port, but everything else worked. What went wrong>?
What version of Tmo stock firmware did you try to flash? What version is your bootloader?
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Trying to flash the 4.3 version from December. It seems like no matter what I try flashing through Odin doesn't work. Tried stock rooted, stock unrooted and CFs autoroot and nothing works. Phone isn't rooted, it previously was...thinking it might fix the issue I did a factory restore in the recovery and lost it
Not sure what version my bootloader is
From what I have read the error "Can't open the serial(COM) port." is related to missing USB drivers. Try unistalling KIES if you have one installed already and see if it works.

I believe the / failed 1 is because of the COM port issue. If uninstalling and then re-installing Kies doesn't work, try getting the Samsung USB drivers from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...b-drivers-samsung-usb-drivers-mobile-t1655286 (depeding on the computer you have, of course) Although the thread is for the S3, the drivers are computer related, so they should still work.
Hope it helps.

Its the new bootloader that is not letting you all you can really do is flash a recovery in odin maybe reflash the 4.3 then do the recovery like philz and it should let you get to recovery to flash a rom

Is it giving you a FAIL after flashing , or doesn`t show up after a successful flash.
If it doesn`t show up after flashing , re-flash but untick "Auto-Reboot" within odin before flashing & restart manually after flashing.
I have a "Fail after flashing" - complete (Write) - operation failed in Odin
Which odin
Hi,
When flashing with oder it depends on the package which oder will work.
At my p 605 the 1.86 version was working without probs.
The best is to use the Oden which is coming together the Roms Zipfile.
I hope this info helps please let me know.
Good luck

I tried all the possible combination... different Odin... different cables and ports... it just didn't work.
Since I read from a old post that flashing a original rom thru Odin helps... and i tried... Odin works and the rom can be flashed without prompting the signature verification failed error.
I suspect if Samsung has done something to make the recovery image fails...
I tried flashing the recovery using the stock recovery too and it failed as well

Now I am confused are you talking about recovery or rom ?
The only recovery I could get to work was the TWRP - this Zip file comes with a Odin that works.
Cwm philz are not working.
But keep in mind as soon you installed twrp your knox counter is tripped.
For rom flashing you have to wipe your tablet and then follow these instructions xxxx://www.droidgator.com/update-galaxy-note-101-sm-p605-android-43-xxubmj9-firmware/.
Before starting backup your tab then everything should be fine.
Thanks for your effort in helping me out...
Before I sent my tablet for servicing... I restored the tablet with Kies to the original factory setting and rom as I HAD rooted my P605 and flashed a custom rom before. [Although the Know count is 0*1 anyway.... but the service centre was kind enough to fix my tablet as it's a hardware failure instead of anything to do with the ROM ]
When I got my tablet back and tried to flash the TWRP into it, this problem surfaced. And I read from another post that some say flashing a Samsung original rom could help I tried but to no avail. Still I am waiting and looking for a solution.
I tried Odin 3.04 3.07 and 1.85 with the two versions of TWRP but still none of them work.

Might you recall what the firmware version was before you started to flash this one?
I am also trying to recover from NC3 back to MJ4XAC and it is not allowing me to finish, Kies also does not recover the tablet. It looks like one of the filesystems is in a different state. With TWRP there are options to perform CHMOD on the file systems but I figure I have been mocking around long enough and for some reason beyond my experience the system is not responding.
Can you still get into ADB mode? That might be an option to see if you can gain access?

Although it failed, I was able to recover using kies and use tablet as normal without data loss. It might be because at that point I had not rooted my tab and system state was still original in odin.
By the way I was on MJ4 xsa(AUSTRALIA) trying to install NC2 TGY(HONG KONG).
Now I have rooted it and have I installed NC2. I am still not sure what the issue was. But the only thing I did different was, first was using a virtual machine, but now did in an actual windows machine.
Can you please try this? If you can, install back NC2 using odin. Boot it once, then try recovering using kies. Kies recover mode gets your latest firmware based on your serial number. Not what firmware you are running.
Please post back the result. Interested to know the outcome.

I don't think it is. Although the specs are the same, read somewhere that the internal partition structure for carrier branded firmware are different to generic. Don't remember where I read that. But can't confirm that either.

So, I've recently wanted to use a custom ROM for my phone, and I have done this before, but there's a bunch of changes I guess. I thought that "unified s3" meant that the ATT variants and others (including my i747m) would be compatible, so I tried to flash "Liquid Smooth v3.0" ROM but it didn't work with TWRP. So I got CWM and restored my phone (also my restore file by accident) so my phone was totally wiped, but I could flash the ROM. The problem occurs here, the phone WILL NOT boot, it is stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S III" splash and won't go past it. I cannot delete the cache or anything without the phone restarting itself. I tried to flash a modem with Odin but get an error also.

Since you can get into both download and recovery modes, there is plenty of hope and your phone is far from dead. Odin probably failed because you were trying to flash incompatible firmware or one that involved a bootloader downgrade attempt. You may be able to recover by re-flashing the correct firmware from (custom) recovery. You need to provide more information including what stock were you on before going custom and what stock you are now trying to revert to. When flashing stock firmware, however, you need to be sure you are working with the right ones. In spite of the near similarity in the names, firmware for the i747U... (AT&T) is different from the Canadian versions (i747M...) and you should be careful to pick only the ones specific to your phone model. You probably were on a 4.3 bootloader so your safest bet now may be to search for and download the i747M 4.3 stock rom, bootloader/modem and kernel zips and reflash these via recovery. If you are on TWRP, you may also do an advance wipe to remove all existing firmware before flashing new ones.
I have a Telus Note 2 sgh-I317M I believe it has android 4.3 on it but not sure. It was rooted using chainfires method.
I am not able to enter recovery mode but I can enter download mode.
If the phone is in download mode and I open Kies it spins on connection but never connects. If phone isnt in download mode Kies doesnt see it.
With Odin is able to see the phone in download mode but when I try and do anything the results are below.

I have tried uninstalling Kies and I have used Odin v1.85, V1.3 and V3.10
and I have tried different firmware for the phone starting with 4.3
I have tried using a different computer and different usb cables.
I have a second note 2 that is able to connect to both Odin and kies on this computer.
If I should post this question else where my apologies and please point me in the right direction.
What am I missing in trying to get this fixed? Google research mentions PIT files but Im not familiar with them and I haven't found a step by step guide.
Try using Odin 3.07. I only use 3.07 and I have had great success.
Download the latest Telus ROM from sammobile. Open Odin, do no check anything except F.reset time. Flash the ROM in PDA. When you see the word Reset in the status window, remove the usb cable from the phone, pull the battery and leave it out for about 10 seconds, replace the battery, boot into recovery, perform a factory wipe, and reboot.
So here are my issues.
I used CF-auto root to install custom ROMS. Roms like Hybrid just got stuck in a bootloop, regardless of how many times I wiped everything. CM works almost fine. However, it randomly reboots. No timing, app, battery, usage, or other patterns I can see. It just randomly reboots itself.
I downloaded the BOB7 and tried to Odin back, but it just fails everytime.

I either need to fix CM so it quits randomly rebooting, or go back to stock. I'm not too picky as to which option, so I'll take whatever I can get.

Yeah, accidentally deleted backup. Kicked myself plenty for it. I've wiped and reinstalled CM half a dozen times now with no luck. 3x factory reset, cache, dalvik, data and system wiped 3, 4 or even 5 times.
Still reboots randomly.

You don't flash it via Odin. Install thr latest TWRP through Odin then boot into recovery make a backup first then factory reset and wipe system and you should be able to install Noterized.

Sounds like the only thing that will work for you is CM or Noterized both flashable via TWRP.

Sorry for the misinformation, i thought Noterized worked via Odin after taking the OE1 update.
Hey,
I had a non-rooted T-Mobile SIII with stock ROM installed. A few days back, it just rebooted automatically and got in a boot loop. I don't know what happened. After that, I tried to install the stock ROM again via Odin but it seems that Odin is not writing anything on it. The download mode shows
ODIN MODE
PRODUCTNAME: SGH-T999
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
WARRANTY BIT: 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV:1
WHAT HAPPENS
The Phone turns on but cannot go further than the "Samsung Galaxy S3" logo
When I try to go to the recovery mode, the Samsung logo with booting recovery comes and then it just shifts to the boot loop
I can get to the Download Mode and Odin recognizes the device.
It shows the PASS status after writing a recovery image but it just doesn't work
WHAT I HAVE DONE UNTIL NOW
Tried to flash CMW (touch and non-touch both). Odin gives pass but it still boots to boot loop
Same happens with TWRP
Tried to flash the Stock F/W but Odin fails every time before even trying
What error is shown in the Odin log? Tried using different usb cables and usb ports with Odin?
T-999 unbrick
By your description, it looks like your kernel is corrupt. It happened a few times with my note 3 stock, as well as my S III back in the day.
The way I unbricked successfully each time, was to feed Odin one piece of the stock ROM at a time, in this order:
1. Kernel
2. TWRP 2.7.0
3. ROM
IMPORTANT: if you end up going this way, be sure to power down the unit after each STEP. I even removed the battery, just to be sure.
DO NOT ALLOW ODIN TO REBOOT THE UNIT.
Last thing, be aware that the stock upgrade you use has to match any firmware upgrade you may have flashed in the past.
This is a way doable solution.
Ping me if you have questions or need links. I'm still a newly registered user on this board and can't post links yet.
Good luck!

When I try to go to the recovery mode, the Samsung logo with booting recovery comes and then it just shifts to the boot loop
I can get to the Download Mode and Odin recognizes the device.
It shows the PASS status after writing a recovery image but it just doesn't work
WHAT I HAVE DONE UNTIL NOW
Tried to flash CMW (touch and non-touch both). Odin gives pass but it still boots to boot loop
Same happens with TWRP
Tried to flash the Stock F/W but Odin fails every time before even trying

The way I unbricked successfully each time, was to feed Odin one piece of the stock ROM at a time, in this order:
1. Kernel
2. TWRP 2.7.0
3. ROM

I followed all your steps. I made it sure after every step that my phone powered down. I also removed the battery for a while after every step but it all ends up the same way. The Kernel and The Recovery are successfully written but it gives an error on the ROM. And nothing changes, I still can't boot to recovery or OS

Are you using the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com?

Yes, I downloaded the latest firmware available on the sammobile.com
Maybe try flashing with a pit file.

Where can I get the pit file??
You'll have to search to find the correct pit file ford your phone's model number and onboard memory size.
Did you flash the stock firmware as a single file in Odin? Tried different usb ports and usb cables?

Yes I tried one file and different usb ports and cables
So you unzipped the file from sammobile only once to get a tar.md5 file?

Yes I used the tar.md5 file
If you can find a pit file and it still doesn't work with the pit file, the memory chip in the phone may be damaged.

Same result after trying with a pit file.
Based on everything you have tried and the end result, I think the memory chip is damaged.

Is there anything I can do 'bout that?
I don't think so. The simplest solution may be to find a used phone with a damaged screen and working motherboard.

Thanks for your help man. It seems that the memory chip is fried. Searching for a motherboard now
In your first post you said you can get into download mode.
As last resort I'd try ADB. Try flashing recovery and or boot or even the entire ROM (sideload) via adb (and not Odin). Plenty of tutorials here and on the web and you seem knowledgeable enough to do that yourself.
