Hi, I had problems with my phone lately and I made them worse and the phone got stuck on boot animation. So I just flashed stock ROM via ODIN... Only now I know that if I flashed 4.4.2 my bl is now locked and I can't root and install other ROMS, is it true? Is there a way to fix it?
Thank you :]

I am not new to rooting and flashing rom however, I switched from my rooted GS3 running CM11 to the Note 2. I flashed the stock firmware (root66) and made the mistake of running the OTA 4.1.2 update which caused my note to be soft bricked. The phone boots to the samsung logo and freezes there. I flashed several stock firmware using odin that pass but when my phone reboots it freezes at the samsung logo. I can not access recovery mode, only downloading mode. I know its a way to fix this I'm just not sure how. Any suggestions?

Easy peasy, flash philz v5.00.5 (not the latest) through odin then u should be able to access recovery, from recovery flash a custom ROM so u can get unstuck, then when everything is fine, flash a stock rom from sammobile and hopefully it should work.

Smack the thanks if I helped.

Hi,
I bricked my phone by accidentally downgrading my boot-loader. I was running Quantum Rom which had previously required me to upgrade my bootloader. Since I was encountering some issues with the rom, I decided I wanted to flash back to stock. Foolishly, I used Odin to flash stock firmware which involved a bootloader downgrade as well. This resulted in a bricked phone . I can still boot into download mode but I am unsure on how to unbrick the phone since Odin doesn't work. Any ideas?
Thanks!

If you are on the i747 and not an i747M, this should help you fix your phone, AT&T I747 UCUEMJB Stock Restore. It is done from a custom recovery.
Hi,
I' ve rooted my S4 mini i9195 (with 4.4.2 I9195XXUCNE6_I9195YPRCNE2_I9195XXUCNE6_HOME.tar firmware) with xda guide, but i have battery drain issue. So I've flashed GT-I9195_Kernel_v1.zip, but after that when phone is restarting I'm only hearing a sound for a 3 seconds and screen is black. Do you have any advice because I sooooo want my device rooted
Thank you for your help.
The kernel you flashed is not for Kitkat (4.4.2)
sent from my GT-I9195
That kernel is meant for stock jellybean 4.2.2. As for stock kitkat we have no custom kernels. So just rooting is the only way.
As for your device it will not boot 'coz you flashed the wrong kernel on incompatible ROM. Use ODIN to flash the firmware (4.4.2) and DO NOT WIPE DATA. Your device will boot just fine as you now have stock KK kernel. Also use any of the methods on this forum like flashing CWM and then rootkit or TOWELROOT or CF-auto root. All work fine. GOOD LUCK.
Thank you for your help. Seems like towelroot works like charm. There is no longer baterry drain issue. You guys rock☺
Hi everyone I hope this is not a repetition of some old thread (I tried but couldn't find though).
I was using my note 2 (T889) on stock 4.3 which i previously flashed via odine. A couple of days ago i came by this good looking kitkat based rom ( eZKAT v2.0 ) and went on to try it. the rom flashed flawlessly and after flashing my modem i got the signals as well but the wifi was not working. tried using dr. ketans wifi patch but didnt get the wifi to working. Anyhow, I decided to go back to 4.3 via odine. The odine flashing completed successfully but i got stuck on T-mobiles boot screen for hours.
Is there anything called "you cant go back to 4.3 from 4.4.2"? If yes, then whats the way around? I really need to go back to the stock.
Thanks.

I had this problem on my Note also. Downgrading versions of Android requires a data wipe. You will need to reflash your 4.4 ROM then backup your data if you want. Save your backup to your computer then install the 4.3 image.

I already tried that but still the booting stuck on the t-mobile logo. I read somewhere that locked bootloader don't let you downgrade to previous version. Is this true?
In that case. Try finding a 4.3 rom that's close to stock.

The locked bootloader is always in stock firmwares i.e 4.3 for the Note 2 but not in custom roms meaning u can even install Lollipop custom on it & downgrade smoothly, i have done that many times. The problem is 4.3 stock firmware has locked bootloader hence downgrading still keeps u in 4.3 bootloader even if u remove all the KNOX files.
