Mine is stock 2.3.6 rooted.
I tried to flash other rom today after installing cwm.
However, I am not familiar with flashing...after flashing and reboot, the sreen only stayed in samsung
also I could not restore in cwm , as it said it failed to do( I pressed backup before in cwm..why it doesnt work)
and How could I install the stock rom again now?
download mode and recovery mode is available
I tried to use odin to install recovery again and the stock rom again.(installation is successful)
however, it just keeps rebooting(now showing the samsung-->GTS5660-->animation-->animation again-->animation again)
finally it is working now, as I tried to flash many times
However, I dare not to flash rom anymore..and I do not know really how to flash rom
go to recovery and do factory reset and then reboot
I have an international version of note ... i rooted it ..it was working fine...but i tried to change the font through A font installer ..and after that my device got stuck at the boot screen
so i tried to re install the rom from odin but it failed in between ...n then my fone started showing a screen that said that it interruption in firmware upgrade ..so i again tried flash the rom .. it didnt work this time even..so i flashed cwm recovery ..i dont know how but it flashed
now my screen is in like a loop of swm starting screen..n odin is not workin
so can nyone help me ...how to reset eveything
plssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss help me
Have you tried resetting with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
With this you can flash the stock boot image back, and hopefully after that you'll be able to flash everything else you want.
Alternatively you could flash stock Rom and Kernel with Odin.
If you have Kies installed, make sure that it is not running while Odin is running. They don't like each other.
You said you wanted to flash a Rom, what exactly were you trying to flash? Are you sure it was the right Rom for your device?
Hi! I have encountered a problem, and really hope someone can help me!
Two days ago i flashed Omnirom Nightly on my n7105 to get Android 4.4. I was running cmw recovery but couldnt get the ota updates to work, so i was trying to flash open recovery instead. I used an apk that was supposed to install a script.
When i rebootet my phone, all i could get was the Note 2 boot image. It wont boot into recovery mode, or the rom. I am however able to boot into download mode.
Custom Binary download: Yes (4 counts).
Current binary: Custom
System Status: Custom.
How should i proceed? I've already tried to reflash cwm recovery, which did work, but didnt solve the problem. I am currently downloading stock firmware, but the file is 1.2 GB so it will take i while. Figured i should ask here in the meanwhile.
I'm not an expert at Android at all, im just a guy enjoying having custom roms and playing around a little. I do know that there are a lot of very talented people in this forum, and i really hope someone can help me find a solution. I've been googling for hours, but cant find anything that seems to work for me / or i dont fully understand and wont risk try before someone approves it.
Thank you, Vetle
EDIT: Is it correct that i cant flash any custom rom trough Odin? Or could i just flash omnirom again trough Odin?
If i manage to flash the stock rom and the bootloop goes away, will everything go back to normal, so i can flash cmw again and then a custom rom again?
No custom rom can be flashed through odin, as most of them are zip cwm/twrp base.
When u can only go to download mode, an official firmware only can help u through odin.

Thanks for the answer!
Yup, i have flashed a stock rom now and i got the stock recovery. Everything was working fine.
Then i proceeded to do a factory reset in the stock recovery and flashed cwm trough Odin. When it was done, it wouldnt let me into recovery again! I can still boot up the phone tough.
I've also tried Open recovery. CWM via Rom manager. Open Recovery trough Goo Manager... Still cant get recovery to work, the stock rom works tough.
Any ideas?
Okay, i tried to flash the stock rom again and installed Rom Manger.
It still showes TWRP and CWM under installed recovery and i guess these its these two who makes the problem.
My plan now is to figure out how to completely remove them. I've never done anything related to adb before, so i hope it possible to remove them in another way?
This is so weird. Somehow i managed to install CWM Touch via Rom Manager and it booted. When i choose reboot /pull battery it will only boot straight into CWM again. I tried to flash TWRP via Odin, wich sucseeds, but then it reboots into CWM again!
I am soo lost its almost funny!
EDIT: Since i could get into cwm now, i tried to flash omnirom, but it aborts and all i get is status 7...?
EDIT2: Latest now is that i suddenly managed to install TWRP via Odin, but i still cant install the latest omnirom, all it says is "updating partition details".

I had recovery problems in the last few days also.
Installed DN3 rom using philz recovery, because its capable of prepare the phone to a new rom in a easy way.
It all went fine until first reboot.
I had a recovery boot loop. All I could see were some buttons and then reboot again.
Like you I had download access and flashed philz with Odin, but no luck.
Installed twrp via Odin and all was fine, and flashed philz new version.
Then I had to flash a new kernel (to be able to access wifi) and it all started again. Now I'm back on twrp.
Let's see what happens on my next flash.
My suggestion is to flash the recovery, and if that's OK flash the rom and use it
Next time you need recovery get Odin to help, but not all the way from an original rom. Just the custom recovery.
But if you want to get rid of your strange recovery configuration, and you are not already on new 4.3 recovery(which in your case could explain some of the problems you had) , with knox, install an older original rom, 4.1, and make all the steps, root it, install a custom recovery, and from there the room you want.
Reading your path sorting this problem, that was what would do next
Best regards
Hello all i have bricked my Samsung Galaxy tab 3
I have tried rooting but it ended up giving me a boot loop
Nothing has worked, I have tried flashing a stock ROM, it was unsuccessful, i have tried a rooted ROM, it was successful though i was still stuck in a boot loop, so i flashed Philz recovery and that worked but it didn't clear anything.
I'm currently downloading another Stock ROM and I hope it works.
I also tried adb and that didnt work either.
How can I stock recover this device.

Have you tried using Odin to return to stock? don't forget to "uncheck" auto reboot. After flash completes, shut down, then restart.
Here's a thread for using Odin to return to stock
...and wipe/format system, data, cache etc before flashing
Which version? P5220(the LTE version) P5210(wifi only version) p5200 3g version
you can try out odin, flash everything including stock rom and recovery. Start everything all over.
Hi all. I've got a Sprint Note 2 that's not active with any plan and I just want to use it as an extra mini tablet.
I want to use it for music and videos as well as for making music with Caustic. For this to work with low latency I need lollipop.
Previously the phone was rooted and was running twrp and various kitkat ROMs.
I found a version of cyanide ROM that's a tablet style rom with no mobile data or calling enable. Wifi only.
plus therebwas this Shift package that would enablenetflix to work. Great.
So i downloaded cyanide tablet version, shift and gapps. Using twrp i did a full wipe and flashed the rom and shift but gapps wouldnt flash.
So for the time being I gave up on gapps (though I will definitely need the play store to load my purchased apps.
When I tried to boot the phone it just hung at the bootup animation.
Someone suggested I use philz recvery. I flashed philz with odin and booted into recovery. Sure enough philz was working. So then i wiped again and tried to flash the cyanide rom again. This time not even worrying about gapps until i could verify that the rom would flash boot up.
Again it got stuck in the boot animation screen. I tried flashing it with odin instead of from the microsd card. Again stuck in the boot animation.
I reinstalled twrp and tried flashing with that again. Same issue.
So then I tried cw12.1. Even though netflix doesn't work on it last I checked. I wiped and flashed and again stuck in boot animation. Though this time its the cm animation. So i know the rom was at least flashed.
This i thought perhaps somehow i lost root so none of these kernels would load. So i downloaded cf autoroot and flashed with odin which said it was successful. Phone rebooted...again stuck at bootup animation.
So basically the phone is bricked. What should I do? Install stock rom with stock recovery, then root and wipe and install cyanide? Or should NOT wippe and install it? How shoud I root it, with what methos and when during the flashing sequence. Ive tried every combination I could think of
