I have searched the forums and found issues similar to mine but not exact. I was running 4.4.2 and hated the memory card issue and tried to downgrade back to 4.3. I have done this before and also rooted and unrooted my note 2 so I am fairly familiar, how ever something happened this time. I can boot into downloading but not recovery and when I turn on my phone I get stuck in boot loop, have tried flashing in odin and always fails, just read that due to knox 4.4.2 cant be downgraded. any help would be appreciated. I even tried just to flash the stock 4.4.2 to no avail

Do a google search for my fix.tar and flash it. After that you will have a recovery to boot into and flash any rom you want. If you dont like the recovery you can also flash your recovery of choice.

Hello. My friend gave me his phone to try and fix, and it won't boot past the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo. I tried going into recovery, and factory reseting, but no dice. The little android guy in the background of the recovery is dead (lol) when I first get into the recovery. It isn't rooted btw. I tried flashing a custom recovery, but no luck.
I had a similar issue but my phone was rooted. I flashed clock work mod and wiped data a few times. Have you tried putting the phone into download mode then flashing stock firmware?

I cant flash a rom and have it work. I have tried several ROMS like aokp, jedi, smooth, jellybeans, etc and they almost always brick. Jedi worked but google services crashed back to back to back to the point where i couldnt even use the phone. does anyone know of a 4.3 rom that works on att sgh-i317?? i basically went down the list on galaxynote2root.com and tried them all but no success.
I have root, have TWRP installed and flash the rom and it bricks. i factory reset first, then install and nothing.
any ideas?
All of the roms on this forum work.. What are your exact steps?

Have they been tried on sgh-i317?
I did these exact steps:
Rooted phone and installed TWRP recovery
put AOKP Rom on SD card and booted into recovery mode
Wiped/Factory reset through recovery
rebooted into recovery
installed AOKP ROM
booted and bricked- hangs at "X" aokp bootup screen
Have you installed gapps after flashing an aosp rom? I am running carbon rom right now... Earlier today I was on aokp. I have used them all and I have a I317. An att note 2

does not having the gapps installed prevent the phone from booting? ive booted a rom before without gapps and it booted.
was there something wrong with my steps? did you use the aokp milestone or nightlies? where did you get the carbon rom? its all good?
I used the latest aokp nightly. And right now I'm running the newest carbon nightly. I got it from the op of the carbon thread.

Download your rom and gapps again using a PC...
Then place the files to your SD using a card adapter if no USB connection is possible...
Then fully wipe the device again from within the latest version of TWRP recovery and flash the new downloads ...
You may have a bad flash ...and you are not bricked...g

I did those exact steps and it did not work. i tried flashing pac man rom the last time and it got stuck in a boot loop too. I think there are some files that are corrupt or some temp files somewhere that are preventing a successful flash. my binary flash count was 9. and that was just on this run, ive tried flashing several times before. each time the only way to recover it is hooking the phone up to a pc and using kies to flash back to stock firmware. this sucks.
What version of twrp are you using? I have never had this issue you are having and I have flashed every rom on this forum for our device.

9 counts ??
Uh....yeh...not right ...
Have you messed with device partitions in ODIN ??
If so...something is definitely wrong ...
At this point ...you may want to consider a full return to stock and allow the PIT to properly restore your partitions..
Just follow the return to stock guide (sticky )...in the general section ..
Once restored to stock with a corrected flash counter you can begin again using CF auto root as your root method..
It sounds as if you have root issues and possible partition damage...
One other step you can try first is to boot into download mode and re-root using CF...
That may help....but certainly won't hurt anything...then attempt a clean flash again..
If it fails ...then the return to stock and rooting again seems prudent ...g

Ok ill try that. When I do the sticky method is that different than using kies to flash to stock? Kies is supposed to wipe everything and reload stock firmware. I agree the partitions are corrupt somewhere

Are u wiping data and system as well in recovery. If you're running TW and u switch to AOSP without wiping everything.....the results most likely wouldn't b pretty

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Kies is not the method I use in returning to stock...as I don't trust it..
Odin is my first choice ...
Using Odin to flash a factory rom will wipe everything as well ...and is far more reliable ...IMHO...g

OK, so i followed these steps perfectly and it did not work. GOt Stuck in a boot loop again. something is corrupt. i used the latest version of clockwork mod and tried to install the latest AOKP nightlies. :crying:
Alright ...
Do you mean that you returned to stock ??
And have rooted again ...??
If yes ..we can dig deeper ...and if not ...proceed with full unroot...g

I used the sticky on turning your phone back to stock which used odin. I followed that list perfectly which said to flash stock using odin, root using cf then using triangle away, then super user to fully unroot. Then I installed clockword mod recovery, booted to recovery mode, cleared all cache and davlik and factory reset again, then installed the aokp and it got stuck in a boot loop

Here's what I do with twrp when flashing a rom.
Go to wipe menu and then advanced wipe and select dalvik, cache, data, system and internal(optional). I do it three times to make sure. then flash your rom with gapps (if aosp)
tried to unroot kept failing pressed re-partion and reset time and also tried a usb 2.0 instead of 3.0
model should be SGH-m919 as im in america and use t-mobile and in the download screen its red SGH-M919..
i had issues rooting it a while back with it showing that it failed every attempt i forget which odin i used and root file but it eventually worked after using an older version of odin... it seems random.
Im trying to make it non-void so no rootkit and i know the rest [just need it set back to factory default!]
maybe updated drivers for my windows?
maybe its my windows 8.1 but i last did this on windows 8 [both x64]
Thanks in advance im sure ill find the proper fix for this issue here.

On this note, if you have updated to Android 4.3 and are trying to flash back to 4.2, it won't work. You'd need a stock 4.3 image to flash in Odin.
I don't know if this is what your problem is, but I do know that a lot of people have run into this road block triyng to do exactly this.
Ive looked thru the forums i apologize if i missed it. Ive got a sprint samsung galaxy note 2 running 4.3 ive tried to root and install a custom recovery using the toolkit, but it doesnt seem to take the custom recovery. if anybody could please help me.
I haven't tried rooting since 4.1.2, but I used ToolKit to root and it installed a custom recovery. From there, I just flashed the recovery I preferred to use. Maybe be worth while try using ToolKit. I believe there is an option to just install new recovery.

So i know ive gotta flash one of these but which one? Sprint Samsung galaxy note 2 4.3
which ever one you prefer first. I use TWRP. Some use Philz, which is based on TWRP. From what I've read, it may be good idea to go with Philz over TWRP when and after converting to Android 4.3; something about TWRP not backing up or restoring correctly. Obviously there is still ClockWorkMod (CWM). I can't attest to it because I haven't used it in over two years.
Odin doesn't work either.....I've been having the same problem. Been wanting to root my note 2 for some time now but to no avail.

try using odin3 v3.07 to flash philz 6.07.9 that works for me

I also tried flashing a custom rom using the an external sd, and both methods say it was successfully installed but it still wont boot up, it stays stuck on the boot screen. PLEASE HELP.

Not a pro but when you flashed a custom rom,how long did you wait for it too boot up.I was just flashing today and some roms would take up more than 5minutes to boot up.I would pull out the battery for 1 minute and fire it up.

it would be easier to help if we knew the following:
1. what firmware were you running before you tried the odin flash?
2. what stock firmware did you try to flash with odin?
3. what custom rom did you flash?
Yeah I know the first boot take longer, but I would let it sit for 10 minutes or more. I had to disconnect the battery everytime.

make sure you are using the latest cwm or twrp recovery.
It would be most helpful if you could give us a little more data?
when you say stuck in boot mode, what do you see?
Im currently stuck in a boot loop, past 20 minutes, and all I see is T-Mobile 4gLTE on the screen with a carat advancing through the T-Mobile. I tried to upgrade from Omni ROM to the latest Stock ROM. I've tried to flash down and get failures on flash with Odin 3.09 (Which I used to flash the phone)
Any help here would be awesome!
Yeah make sure you are using the latest recovery.
