Okay so I got this phone today and I went straight to the mskip toolkit for the Note 2. I have the S3 toolkit as well.
The thing is when I try to root the phone Odin will come up but the first box under ID:COM does not turn blue or do anything at all.
When I first did this I had to download a preloader driver. It was MT65xx.
Okay so I got that but still no actual connection to Odin. So my other problem is that when I hold vol- home power it doesn't go to download mode, instead the android logo pops up but then falls over with a red exclamation mark warning sign with an open panel. Looks like a generic error message pop up. So I can't get past this. What do I do? I read that it may be an imitation phone if this doesn't work so is this the case?
This may not affect anything but when I first got it and rebooted the phone the Samsung logo booted as the animation, after I reset it it changed to the android word. I don't know if that means anything but this is the problem I am having.
Samsung Note II: GT-N7100
Ver. 4.1.1
Baseband Ver: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V7.P3
Kernel: 3.0.13
1217 V41
Build: ALPS.ICS.MP.V1.3
Custom build version: 1366963977
Odin3 v3.07
That's as best info as I can give thanks in advance.
Okay well after digging I figured yeah it's a knock off. I'm pissed but whatever now it's time to roll with it.
My next issue is that I can't get to anything but the default recovery. I have tried flashing different imgs or attempting to but nothing.
I tried buying Mobile ODIN and it gave me the "Unexpected partition layout" message.
I also tried using fastboot but and tried the terminal emulator for the phone to flash the recovery that way and when I go into recovery it does as I explained before. Spins a little then falls over and goes into default recovery.
I rooted using Root with Restore by Bin4ry v18.
I'm still new to this and trying to figure out what else I can do. I downloaded rom mannager apk and it say the GTn7100 isn't supported. I'm not sure what else to do. If anyone can shed some insight.
I'm gonna keep the phone for now and I want to flash the alliance rom onto it if possible. Thanks again
Well you can close this thread mods. No one is going to help and that's fine. Found a solution to my problem. Getting a different phone.

You need to have installed drivers from kies or samsung drivers to your pc in order for odin to recognise and communicate with your device. You also need to be a little patient I notice you only posted this thread yesterday and already your complaining.

Sorry if I seem impatient or as a complainer. I'm usually calmer. Anyway I had already performed said steps to no avail. I had already been up all night trying different methods to no help. I already got a new phone from T-Mobile today. Maybe I made the right choice or maybe not. It's alright. I'm satisfied in the end.
Thanks for your attempt though. Appreciated.

I've searched around and haven't had much luck with some help with my problem. Maybe someone would be nice enough to guide me to the right place?
Basically I had a root gone bad, and I get the:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
Honestly I have not tried the kies route yet, had a bad experience in the past.
I either can't get the button timing right, or it just will Not allow me to boot into recovery mode.
I can get into download mode without Any trouble.

Got the stock rom, but wont flash; keeps getting errors. I assumed I would just need that MD5. Would I need another file since I'm trying to hard reset and flash?
I would have given the "Galaxy S3 Toolkit" a try, but it won't eve get past the debugging part, and I can't change that at this time.
I would greatly appreciate all help.
Are you using Odin to flash the firmware? Does it recognize that the device is connected?
What is the output in Odin when it fails?
To boot recovery turn device off.
Hold home, volume up and power.
When you see blue text flash at top of screen, release power only. Continue holding HOME and volume up in till you see recovery start.

Thanks for your quick reply.
Yes, I am using Odin. And it does recognize it.
Odin does this:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> T999UVDMD5_T999TMBDMD5_T999UVDMD5_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

Since I closed it off and reopened it, now it gives me neither a pass or fail, but prior to trying to flash I would constantly say fail.
I havent seen any other color but red at the top on my screen, and that says "ODIN MODE" along with the error as stated in my first post when I try to get into recovery.
I've actually held the 3 buttons for up to 40 sec to no avail. The blue words never showed up. It would pop up with the "ODIN MODE" and the error, then the screen would go back to black and would never give any other indications until I let go of the power. Even then it went back to the error.
Maybe jtag can help or bad usb port.

jag may have done the job...
But nah, all of my USBs are in good shape. It was strictly phone trouble..
I went ahead and tried out samsung kies. To my surprise, It allowed me to fix it up. It did a major hard reset and reloaded the current rom.
Lost everything, but no longer bricked.

Is your phone soft bricked or hard bricked? does it get power?
mine was soft bricked; i could still power it on, i just was Very limited on what I could do.
Is your kies updated?

First I thought it is soft bricked but reading on forums about the same symptoms I understood that the motherboard is finished so I need to change it.
I have tried many attempts with flashing with Odin but nothing. It enters download mode but not recovery.
Odin sees my phone but not kies. I do not think is an update problem.
But I bricked my phone with my wife's laptop and I have tried to restore it back on my own PC. Nothing worked but I read on forums that maybe the PC have a problem reading the phone through the USB port.
I thought is not my case as Odin recognized my phone BUT trying to flash again with Odin from my wife's laptop BINGO! It flashed it on the first attempt and boot normally in to my kit.kat Resurrection Remix Rom!

Happen to me as well. All you need to do in flash a custom recovery through Odin, in download mode, like TWRP or clocksWord mod. Once thats done install any rom you want through the recovery, put the rom you want in an external storage like a sd card.

I have a very similar problem. I would truly appreciate some guidance here!
Some details of the mobile versions since these differ from the OP.
I use a Samsung GT i9300 International Version, rooted and had flashed Nameless Rom based on Android 5.0.
Flashed TWRP or Philz Touchwiz CWM recovery (I dont really remember now)
The phone worked fine until recently when the battery started behaving bad!
(Small story short : On a vacation, my 1.8 Amp charger broke, and my phone crashed saying "Do a factory reset since the encryption during a restart failed". Forcefully, had to factory reset and my battery has been draining like mad ever since) When on wifi, the rate of draining was faster than the rate of charge on a 1A charger)
I was previously on a Slimkat Rom then.
I decided to flash Nameless Rom to see if the behavior changed.
The Rom was smooth but the charging issue persisted. I decided to buy a 2.1 A charger but one fine morning after an overnight charge, the phone didn't boot up. I assumed that the charge wasn't enough and I let it charge a bit longer. After several attempts, it booted up all of a sudden.
I believe this was a significant warning/indication of something possibly wrong with the ROM but I didnt bother to change it just yet.
Then came the surprise a couple of mornings later. The phone went into a boot loop displaying the WHITE Samsung logo with GT-I9300.
Tried booting into recovery, but it just doesnt load into recovery with Volume Up combination.
However, download mode comes up with Volume Down combination. So I was happy in a way that it wasnt hard bricked just yet!
Read somewhere asking me to flash recovery alone from which i could wipe cache and dalvik and try rebooting - So I downloaded TWRP latest version and flashed, but Odin failed to flash - Got a FAIL message and similar to quoted post after failed attempts.
Tried flashing Philz CWM, but failed again. Also tried flashing the Stock recovery too, but it just didnt pass!
Doesnt flash the recovery in whatever way I tried.
Now, I did read that flashing the stock firmware of GT - I9300 Intl version is the option I have left (approx 900 MB).
Will this flash the stock rom and reset the root?
Is there something that I have missed out on? Or I need to try something else before I try flashing stock firmware?
I need some pointers now guys, help me out!

Eeep i missed something
Issue
1. Phone won’t boot beyond the Samsung Logo.
2. It won’t boot into recovery (download mode works).
3. Can flash rom using Odin but phone still won't boot.
Type of Phone
Type: AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Model: i317
Ownership: Bought in Nov 2012 brand new. Warranty is up but it is insured through AT&T.
History: Rooted and then un-rooted and returned to stock in January 2014.
Actions leading up to Issue
Updated to Samsung’s newest firmware Android 4.3 but didn’t like it. I rooted my phone and tried a custom rom but wasn’t happy. Un-rooted by flashing original stock rom via Odin 3.07. Worked great and I was back in business. But then the phone went through an update and never booted back up.
Detail
I’ve rooted all my other phones but never felt the need to root this one until I updated to Samsung’s new Android 4.3. I wasn’t happy with the decreased battery life and poor performance. So I used the method at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650 to root my phone using “root66_ATT_I317UCALJ2.tar.md5” with Odin 3.07 and it worked. I then tried a custom Cyanogen Mod rom but it still left something to be desired.
After more research I flashed the original stock rom “KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5” via Odin 3.07 and my phone worked beautifully, at least for a day. Then I started getting the AT&T update window for Android 4.3 and the only way to get rid of it was to pull my battery. It was happening so much that I couldn’t even make a phone call. Out of pure frustration I decided to accept the update.
After the update installed it rebooted and never made it past the Samsung logo. So I figured I would just go into recovery and perform a factory reset as well as wipe the cache. The problem here is that it won’t boot into recovery. Only download mode works. I’m also seeing a red LED which I’ve read is a sign of SDS.
I’ve tried re-flashing the original stock rom again. Every time I do I get the green “Pass” display but my phone still won’t boot. The binary count is now at 21 since I’ve tried flashing so many times. I’ve been working on this and researching for 3 weeks. I’ve never had an issue that I couldn’t resolve when it comes to any of my past phones but this is beyond my skill or understanding. I also tried Samsung keys but it says my device is not supported.
Short of digging a hole in my back yard and burying it, is there anything I can do to fix this?
(Note) My wife has the same phone and also didn’t like the update so I flashed the same original stock rom to her phone via Odin and it has been working just fine. Only difference is I never rooted hers. I should have gone that route with mine.
Have you tried flashing, via Odin, just a custom recovery?
If that works, you may be able to follow this guide, starting at post #2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618447
If that doesn't work, it is possible you have an emmc issue.... Your symptoms are similar to what others have reported here recently. You might be able to get a repair covered if you can get them to look past the custom counter ... You are running stock firmware... Maybe kies tripped the counter... Stranger things have happened...

Here's the link to TWRP (you want the Odin link toward the bottom):
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/124
Here's the direct link to the latest philz cwm (you want the md5 file):
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/t0lteatt
I prefer philz, but you will likely need TWRP to follow the dicksteele guide. You should also track down a CWM flashable recovery package for MH3 recovery to flash back should you need to return the phone for repairs. You can get this by following the i317 link in my sig.
If flashing this in Odin doesn't work that would tend to support the emmc fail scenario. (i.e. you flash it, Odin behaves as if it flashed ok, you power off, attempt to boot recovery with home-VolUp-power and it still doesn't boot). If it does boot recovery, you can try the guide as I mentioned before. Good luck!

I tried each of those just now and they both flashed fine however there is no change. I guess before I break out the shovel I'll try to see if AT&T will fix it since I do pay for the insurance. Thanks for the help that was good stuff. I wish it could have worked.

So, there appear to be many people who see this update as a bad joke. Like me.
I had a thread a couple days ago about how to kill the notification from att

About needing a battery pull to remove pp note, I have been just reboot and it

You flashed LJ2 Stock ROM from ODIN?
And you are back to the Samsung Logo that flashing/pulsing blue???
If so .....
Pull the battery and let the phone sit for a few seconds, pop the battery in and boot into stock recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER) and do a FACTORY RESET then reboot.
I had to do the same thing an hour ago....

I can't believed it worked. Flashed this and suddenly I have recovery. Then I re-flashed the original stock rom, did a reset and wiped the cache and I'm back up and running. Brilliant I say. Genius! Thank you for the great post and thanks everyone for your help. Seems like there should be a like button or something so that you get credit but I don't see one. This was my first time ever posting on any forum so I'm a little ignorant.

OUTSTANDING !!!
Glad you're back among the living.
This will get you back to 4.1.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49616718&postcount=2
EDIT:
I just did this and it worked perfectly .....
I'm actually doing that step right now also. I flashed back to stock testing the ATT update server.
EDIT #2:
At this step when the phone reboots the script will run. When it completes you want to boot to system. The next prompt will be do you want to install ROOT. If you do the swipe it will install ROOT, there is a DO NOT INSTALL button on the middle of the screen. Just a heads up, don't know if you are turning your phone back in or not now.
- Second step is:
You will need to download TWRP 2.6.3.1 and flash it in ODIN.
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0lt...lteatt.img.tar
This is necessary for an openrecovery script to run that is stored in the /cache directory from the update.
- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode.
- Open ODIN, put openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar in PDA slot. Click Start and let the phone reset.
- Your phone will reboot in TWRP. If not, pull battery and enter recovery mode boot into TWRP recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER). The script will run by itself.
sgh-i317 EFS seems like its gone
could anybody help me out with my note 2. ive tried just about everything i can think of. im getting pretty desperate. i can get everything to work fine (recovery,download mode,) but something is keeping it from booting up to the main screen, it will just hand at the boot animation, or the att logo. in twrp it tells me failed to mount efs. ive looked around in the file folders and its like it got wiped out? im not sure how though. could that be why its not booting up?
any ideas??
Hello all. I am new to this, so please bare with me and understand I am just looking for help and not a hard time. I have an ATT Note 2, which I had rooted with Cyanogenmod (I believe 10.2). It was very easy with the helpful installer that is supplied, so easy even I could do it. However, shorty after running that mod, I realized why I had the Note 2 to begin with, the S Pen! Long story short, I did what I could to get the original Touchwiz/stock rom back.
I did NOT create a back up, which was where my problem starts. Now to remedy my problem, I had to find a stock rom through this site and other means. I don't remember what rom I actually used because it was on a previous PC I was using. But, I was able to go from Cyanogenmod back to Touchwiz. Thank god! Problem gets worse. I was on vacation, and all of a sudden I recieved an OTA update. Like I said, I was on vacation, not paying attention, the update started and was in progress when I started thinking, oh ****, I wonder if there is going to be a problem. Yep, there was a problem...
After the update installed, on reboot, the phone was stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen. I tried recover mode, no go. I tried recovery mode multiple times, no go. DAMN! No phone on a road trip is horrific! So when it wasn't my turn to drive, I attempted to flash stock roms back onto my phone as I originally did, via Odin, and same deal. I CAN find roms that will "succeed" in Odin, and on reboot, gets stuck on the same screen.
Out of frustration, I have tired other roms, some succeed, some fail. When they succeed, all have the same result, back to the same screen I previously described. However, when they fail, they bring me the the "firmware update" screen(sorry if I can't describe that screen better, but its the screen that suggests using Kies to fix the problem and update firmware. I have searched about as much as I can handle online and in forums about how to fix this. I have tried every approach. Different roms, I have tried the Kies method (which has attempted to work), however when its completed updating on Kies the phone says "unsupported version", which leads me to believe I am stuck half way in Root and half way stock.... or something, remember, I am no pro at this.
My phone isn't damaged, although I am not sure if the happenings have stressed the internals enough to fry anything. All I know is that its frustrating and would greatly appreciate any help that could be offered. I halfway thought about that $40 service that remotes your PC and will root your phone for you, but had a moment of clarity and decided a bunk phone and virus infected laptop wouldn't make anything better.
So in ending, be gentle, but please, give me any way I can fix my phone, whether it be back to stock or rooted, either way. Thanks

again.... I can't put the phone into recovery mode... I am able to get into download mode, or the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen, that is it. That is why I am requesting help from the pros out there.

Thanks for replying to this post. But I can not help you with your question. I am trying to tackle the issue with my phone... Is there a way I can root ANYTHING on my phone? or back to 4.1.1 or anything?

First off stay away from 4.3 lol. Anyways to get back to take ota you need to get chainfire autoroot and run in Odin, run triangle away, full unroot in super user. Reboot.
Check status if still says modified go into recovery pwr+vol up+home button and do reset.
You should be good to go. Good luck.
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.

In Samsung the word Note 2 is pronounced t0lte.

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 had the same problem and fix it UCUCNE5

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.

Thanks for your reply.
I can get to the menu and select the reset option (although i get a slew of red error messages along the way) but when it reboots, im right stuck back at the samsung GNII splash screen.
Check my other thread for more details http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...reme-noob-gn2-mods-stuck-galaxy-note-t2941965 , if mine is a separate issue i dont want to hijack this thread.
