So i was trying to find some new roms for my SGH-i747M and what i did was backed up my original rom running on a avatar nightly build i tried to upgrade my clockworkmod touch to the latest version using the terminal method (cause i was getting status 7 errors from all the other roms). I finally got the install the work then when i reboot the rom doesn't work i tried going back into CMW recovery and it just crashes and for some reason the computer can't recognize the phone so i can't unbrick it.... what do i do now totally scrub
Have you tried odin

Hey try downloading the stock firmware and used Odin flash it on
What stock ROM was on your phone before you update CWM? It's important to let us know so we can help guide you in the right direction.
Can you get into download mode at all? Have you tried the debrick method described in this forum?
tried everything(mostly)

I've tried odin and stock rom but the thing is i don't think my usb debugging is on so odin and my computer can't access the components inside the phone, i've tried unistalling drivers and trying to reconnect it but no luck... my stock rom on my phone was a avatar 4.0 nightly build or something (4.3 version) and my old CMW was 6.0.3( or something before i tried to get the 6.0.4) now i can't even get it to work when i tried to flash the slimkat rom
i can't get into CMW recovery.... when i try it restarts, when it restarts all i get is a black screen i think i'm screwed here
Try different drivers, cables and usb ports. Usb debugging only matters when you are booted into android. Shouldn't have any effect on download mode.

i've tried different port different cables different computers i've tried reinstalling the drivers and using different installations nothing seems to be making the phone readable, and yes i can get into download mode but odin or the computer can't detect which port it is on
How are you reinstalling drivers? You have to uninstall through device manager. And make sure your cables are data cables. Many out there are not capable of data transfers. Unless the port on the device has gone bad or been damaged, I'm not sure what else you can try. But if it cannot connect on any port on any computer, I think it may be a hardware issue like I just mentioned.
Did you try different driver versions? You can get several from the link in my sig.
What about trying different operating systems (i.e. WinXP, Win7, OSX, etc.)?
Could be worth a shot. Odin is Windows only though. I think heimdall works for the rest.
try what i can

tried all of those.
Are you using Kies for the drivers? I thought Kies interfered somehow and it was recommended to just install the full driver setup standalone.
Also, have you tried a different pc yet?
Also make sure you have USB Debugging enabled.

Possibly. Have you tried to odin the one-click-root back to stock rooted yet?
First thing I would do personally. Also, swap cables again and try a different usb port. I would plug into the rear usb if possible too. Front usb ports are prone to interference since they're wired via a cable from the motherboard. And do not use a usb extension cable (found this out the hard way too). Good luck.

Agreed with previous poster - you may be bricked, seems oddly familiar to this issue:
Stuck at "Data.img" thru Odin
As sfhub has mentioned you can and should try the Odin OC again to confirm. But if it says the same it's fairly certain that the eMMC is damaged and the phone is bricked.
If you try again and it has the same results you may want to post more details on that thread. It's been a good attempt to try and document each person's case and try to find what is causing this to happen. The more info the better to troubleshoot, such as what you tried to flash and how you were flashing (were you going back to GB + CWM to flash ICS, for example)
I have an Epic that immediately boots to recovery. Neither Odin or Heimdall see the phone (tried many different usb cables and computers).
I've tried flashing different boot imgs thinking maybe that was the problem. Any thoughts? Like I said, I still have recovery and can flash from it, it's just when I reboot it goes straight to recovery.

Restore a bml backup over an mtd rom? Looks like if you can't flash another rom and have it boot you're going to have to keep fidiling with odin or heimdall until one recognizes... things to try are..... 1. GET A GOOD CABLE! Blackberry cables imo are the best... 2. Uninstall all samsung drivers on your comp and reinstall them! 3. Keep trying different ports and different combinations of battery and sd card out while trying to odin!

If you can't mount usb storage it could be your port... but it could also be the drivers... try uninstalling them and reinstalling....
Not bricked if it has life, just sponged...may as well be a brick though eh? Try the drivers as Flast suggested.

Maybe I've misread the issues here. As I understand it you have 2 problems:
You are forced into recovery by just turning on the device.
Neither Heimdall nor Odin recognize your device.
For issue #1: Why not take the SD card out, put what ever rom (use your current partition type: BML or MTD) on to the card and flash that in the recovery?
For issue #2: You have a few options here:
Firstly, I would be to make sure you have the drivers installed and working properly.
Do not use the stock cable.
Try all USB ports that are directly connected to the motherboard. (No emulated/hub/front chassis ports.)
If still nothing, then try connecting your device to another computer to see if the USB port works properly. (It's always good to make sure the connectors are clean of debris.)
I understand I am not using "brick" in the traditional sense, but in the sense that I cannot do anything with it....

1 - I have tried a variety of ROMs/Kernels/etc and nothing will allow the phone to boot...just straight to recovery every time.
2 - As stated, I have tried many computers/cables/driver reinstalls/etc and nothing is finding the phone. I have done ODIN on this phone before, and had no issues.
As this point (and I don't actually use the phone, was just going to get it running again) I have to assume the USB connector on the phone is effed...
Just to make sure...when trying to odin, you are going into download mode(hold 1+power) correct?

Are you booting into CWM recovery or stock phone recovery? If cwm have you tried a live ROM like this sucker http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464791 Not sure if it would help in your situation, Years of old linux experience... Android confuses the hell out of me.
Just posted in another thread that I have a similar issue. My phone will boot all the way up, but I cant get any computer to recognize it. I have tried multiple cables/port/computer combinations, as well as uninstalling the drivers.
Oddly, my phone is full functional and boots fine, but when it goes to sleep, it never wakes up and I have to pull the battery. In the past when this has happened, my solution has been to Odin back to stock, but I can't even do that now...
Hello everyone...
I was updating the phone recently, and went to reboot it (cyanogen mod ROM btw) and now I have no idea what it did but it is now stuck on the Samsung logo, and their is no recovery I can use on it. Only DL mode works.
I tried to use Odin to relfash but the problem is on both my Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers, they install the drivers, but they still fail to recognize the phone when I plug it in!
I have tried different USB ports, a full driver uninstall, multiple USB cords and the computer refuses to recognize the phone saying "USB Device not recognized"
Again, the drivers install fine, and I did a reboot after each install and uninstall. No luck.
I didnt even install drivers on my W8 netbook and I was able to flash back TWRP using Odin and Download mode yesterday when my attempt at flashing TWRP 2.6.0.4 originally failed.
Fire up download mode, then open up Odin (you should see a COM port open), load up what you need to install, then flash.
What are you trying to flash using ODIN? A bootloader or a ROM?
"BootLooping GhostBrick"
Holy crap! you too? I'm experiencing the same thing too bro. its my girlfriend's phone tho. she's borrowing my Nexus 4 while I work on fixing her SGS2...I seem to have contracted a serious case of the BootLooping GhostBrick, just like you did, right after updating. I went through the same steps troubleshooting as you did, and ...its a guess, but I'm starting to figure the solution will probably include: 1. using ADB to push sum files to the phone, or otherwise somehow reflashing stock firmware from the PC.
2. Re-Root the dam thing and flash a kernel with a recovery (like CWM or TWRP) using rom manager...and 3. Considering installing a ROM of my choice Like PACMAN, or Cyanogenmod.....hmm...Yum
anyway, the search for the vaccine to this dreadful affliction begins. Please post if you find something, I will too.

It's not a matter of trying different com ports, I can't get the PC or Odin to recognize the phone in download mode despite uninstalling kies, installing the latest drivers twice, 3 different OEM cables, multiple usb ports, nothing. when I plug it in, Windows doesn't make any sound like with other usb devices, nor does it try and search for drivers.

I was going to reply earlier, but I got side tracked and this guy is literally having the exact same problem as me. I tried multiple OEM cables, and ports and Windows recognized it but it still won't let me USE it. Odin (after re-install) still shows no connections or ports.
Also, yeah this phone isn't mine either, my Dads. He is using my old S3 for now and is quite mad with me hahaha.
So yeah, I have to re-cap...
-Updated through Goomanager.... (the culprit I am guessing)
-Rebooted
-Got stuck on the Galaxy S 2 screen
-Plugged in with 4 USB cables to three different USB ports
-Uninstalled and reinstalled Odin numerous times, each with a reboot between.
-Odin fails to recognize it
-Windows KNOWS IT IS THERE, and makes a sound when plugged in, however it says "USB Device not recognized"
Any more ideas?
Thanks for the help to guys it is very much appreciated. I will donate to the person that can help me out of this

I am experiencing the same problem. Did anyone find the solution?
Probably a faulty USB port. My computer shows that message all the time, only one of them works correctly. If not, you just need to install the correct USB Drivers, because even if you don't have them it should recognize your phone as a Samsung phone but will say that the drivers did not install correctly.
Hey guys,
I had a look around the forum found some similar issues but nothing that fit exactly.
I am stuck with my note 8, in an awkward position, I was flashing a new ROM onto the device, it was having some issues doing it (It wouldn't work, Would always fail) was using Odin, and the Note 8 toolkit. I was changing the recovery from CWM to TWRP and then it all went bad, now i have some firmware error come out whenever i turn the device on, I can still get into download mode, but nothing else. I tried using Odin to flash the stock ROM or even a recovery back onto the device and it fails every time. I also tried using Kies to do a firmware restore, it downloads the firmware then it can't see the device.
Any help would be great =\
Thanks =D

Make sure you have a good USB cable... I have gone through 2 Samsung OEM cables, as one did a melt down and the other had intermittent charging disconnects. Have gone to Blackberry OEM cable as it is one of the best OEM stock cables I have had for some time, 5 years now and has never failed.
Second, did you enable USB debugging before doing the custom rom?
Are you using Odin 3.7?
I am surprised that Kies downloaded a ROM, it should have detected that the device was custom. Maybe what you are seeing with Kies is normal for custom ROMs. Don't know... What is the ROM info for the Kies download. I have an odd feeling that you flashed with an incompatible ROMs as the Note 8.0 has three different hardware configurations.

Tried a different Cable before and it still didn't work, But I thought I would try a different one again (From a nexus 7 I have) worked like a charm, As if I have 2 Damaged cables Haha.
Thanks for the Help Mate =D.
I've had this old note II pretty much since it came out have had plenty of ROMS on it and normally have had no problems. I recently had SlimKat on there and I was having battery life issues so I reinstalled it to no avail, so then I tried moving to Blisspop and that fixed the battery life issue some but I was having issues with crashing and the proximity sensor not registering during calls. I found a thread with this issue that directed me to Shift Kernal as a solution to the proximity sensor and crashing issues. I reflashed Blisspop, flashed the Shift kernel, then Gapps and now I have a brick. Upon turning on the phone it gets stuck on the Samsung boot screen. It won't open CWM recovery anymore to access my nandroid backups. I can get it into download mode but I cannot get my computer to recognize the phone as a USB device anymore. I have tried different drivers, cords, usb ports, and even different computers so I assume thats not the issue. Any suggestions would be helpful or even just telling me its a definite hard brick so I'll quit tinkering with it.
If you can get DL MODE it's not a brick...
Reflash of a stock rom via Odin should help...
Device could have partition damage...but I'd avoid the PIT flash until after the stock rom attempt..
I don't know what bootloader you have...but if you have version 4.2 or lower then flash a complete stock rom..
If you have 4.3 official or higher...then use an ODIN version from Zen Arcades threads as they don't contain the loader image...g

I can get it into download mode but when I connect it to a computer its not recognized as a device and therefore doesn't show in ODIN to flash those ROMs. Is there anyway to force recognition of a USB device. I've tried pretty much every combination of cord, usb port, driver and computer to get it to connect to ODIN but haven't had any luck.

Well....beyond switching versions of Odin...(you've likely done this already)...the only action you could take would be a direct ADB push to the device...
It's been 2 years since I've attempted that...and can't remember the thread locations for the tutorials.
There is also the possibility that the EMMC is damaged.
My second device had this failure and I never recovered it...
I'm sorry that I can't provide links...but I know the threads exist.
So start a search and I'll do the same...g
Edit:
I keep coming back too a PC environment problem...(perhaps)
Run Odin as admin only...and quadruple check those USB drivers...making sure to completely uninstall the old version before loading new drivers.
Also..try using Odin 1.85....not 3.09...as it is a bit more reliable.
Also use only a factory cable connected to the PC mother board only...no front ports...
Plug in the device in download mode then reboot the PC and then open Odin...
Brainstorming here and hoping it'll trigger that dang "added" symbol for ya....g
Thanks I'll try those and see what happens!
I prefer Odin 3.07 on a Win7 machine.
I see the thing...
You damaged your bootloader, try re-flashing it through Fastboot on ADB, if tour pc does not recognize the device then try to install the latest USB drivers for your model.
