[Q] Phone stuck after failing during CM install - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Other than being rooted my N7105 was stock before I decided to install CM via the Windows Installer. It failed once so I restarted the device and computer on the programs suggestion. Second time it seemed to be installing fine getting past the installing recovery step before I left the room. On my return it had failed again and suggested I try a different USB port or computer and the install would pick up right where it left off.
Except it hasn't.
The Installer isn't even detecting my device anymore. I'm stuck with a little blue fellow on my screen. Rebooting just brings me back to the same screen and when I remove the battery the phone reboots as soon as I replace it. I can boot into download mode but trying to boot into recovery just brings me back to the blue dude.
I'm not really sure what to do. I've tried using a Toolkit but get stuck at the "Waiting for USB debugging to be turned on" part. I've looked at Heimdall but aren't really sure where to start or if it could even help.
Any suggestions?

try to flash stock ROM using Odin, you might have to try different versions.
Just enter download mode, connect usb and flash

HELP!!! SGS2 root fail, now stuck

i just got this phone and tried to root it. i installed the kernal using oden and it went over without a hitch... but then after the phone turned off it got stuck at the boot screen with the yellow triangle and wouldnt go any further. after some time i unpluged it and turned it off and on. same thing happened. so i flashed the kernal again. this time when i turn it on it sais "firmware update encountered an issue- connect to keis in recovery mode.
i tried connecting to keis but it sais the device will not respond. i cant enter clockwork recovery mode cuz it just goes to the same error screen. i can only get into oden mode. i have a i9100 mugkg2 on tellus. nothing is working. i also tried using oden to install the stock rom but it fails every time. please help! how can i just get it back to factory
It sounds like you've bricked your phone, have you tried a USB jig to try and reset it yet? Try ebay, look for i9100 usb jig

Install KIES, then use the Unlock Root

Hi teck2100,
If you can get into odin mode (aka download mode) then you're fine. You should be able to flash a stock rom using odin.
Look here for a list of roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 and pick one that you can root using D00ml0rd's method (zergrush), it's the simplest way I've found for root and Mobile Odin is the best app for custom rom's in my opinion.
Good luck and if it helped please use thanks,
Stefan.

TWRP boot loop...

So I have been running the AOKP nightlies in Goo and Ktoons kernel. This has been a very trouble free combo. However, out of nowhere I go to reboot in recovery and it takes a dump. Mind you its been running fine all weekend. It will get right to the Teamwin splash and start boot looping. All I did was reboot. Recovery is now broken, so I odin CWM on and that gets me back to a recovery, but when I try to flash TWRP again same issue. So I put CWM back on, factory reset, reflash, wipe everything, sticks on boot splash on every build. Finally, I gave up flashed back to stock, and re-rooted....lost all my stuff on the internal card but I was able to re-install TWRP and restore my backup.
This is so very random and frustrating...it just randomly for no reason stopped booting to recovery. Is this a common thread with TWRP? Maybe I should go back to CWM...anyone had this same experience?
I had that problem too. It lead to me getting bricked because I can't get Odin to work. Could you view over the post and confirm similar problems? I think some of my issue is with TWRP. I made dumb with my ROM, but the recovery shouldn't have messed up... Anyway here's the post. Let me know if you think the problems (with TWRP) are similar. If they are, there might be something wrong with TWRP

Alright, I'll give as much info as possible. If anyone can save me from having a $250 paperweight, I would... Well, probably whatever they asked me to. Here it is in a nutshell. I was on AOKP with TWRP recovery. I jump ROMS everyday it seems, so why would today be any different? I boot into TWRP, make a backup, wipe cache, factory reset (data and cache), delvik cache, and then system (here was my mistake). Then I was going to install another ROM when I was suddenly needed by family. In my infinite genius I decided "Oh I'll just shut down without a ROM installed, that'll go well!" and shut the phone down through TWRP options (/facepalm).
Finally, I come back to it and decide "Ok, I'd like to install a ROM now". I boot it up (holding up, home, power), but accidentally let go of home and power instead of just power so it tries to boot. No prob, I just do it again. Now I hold it this time and the trusty "teamwin" splash comes up. But something isn't right. It restarts instead of giving me options. "ok...." I think, and I try it again. Same thing. F**k, I have no recovery... So I go to my last resort. Odin mode. I get into Odin Mode, grab my USB cable and plug in (to my computer with drivers already on it from the toolkit) and! TADA! USB not recognized. That's right. USB. NOT. RECOGNIZED.
So lets recap:
No ROM
No recovery
Drivers from Toolkit installed
Odin Mode = USB not Recognized in Windows
Here is what I have tried (in no particular order)
New USB cable. 3 to be exact.
Different ports. All of them on all of the computers.
Different computers. 2 laptops, 1 desktop. All Win 7 64-bit.
Going into recovery (it bootloops)
Letting it boot. (Does nothing)
Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers
Installing Kies
Installing nothing
"adb devices" (doesn't show up)
Using toolkit (no devices seen)
Manually chosing every driver from "Samsung electronics LTD" that my computer has installed.
Plugging in before starting Odin
Plugging in after starting Odin.
Every combination of "Power cycle, Odin Mode, connect to computer" I can think of
Actually praying to Odin
Crying
Giving up
Gaining Second Wind
Searching Google, XDA and numerous forums extensively.
Making a new thread myself
I would really, REALLY appreciate it if someone, somewhere has ANY idea on how I can flash something ANYTHING to my phone again. Thank you SO much for your time. Honestly. I mean it, thank you. Let me buy you a beer. I'm serious.
Extra Information: The pop up is always the "USB not Recognized" balloon. Device manager comes up with an "Unknown Device" and yellow [!] triangle. Sometimes, under details, I'll see "Code 10: Device could not start". To reiterate, the phone WILL go into Odin Mode. Thanks again.

[Q] Can't Get Into Recovery Or Download Mode

So I bought 2 broken Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 from a friend knowing that the screens were cracked and that there were pass codes but I just figured I could replace the screens and then wipe them. Fast forward to today and I got one fixed but it won't go into recovery or download mode. I do the right button sequences for each one and but it just boots up as normal. All the buttons function and I tested them with the device on but no matter what I do it just starts up as normal. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do?
Just replaced the actual volume buttons and still no luck. Any one have any idea?
Rooted ?
Options:
If you can get into system ( normal bootup ) try enable USB debugging and install ADB on PC then run adb reboot boot loader or adb reboot recovery
or
If you are rooted, install Rom Toolbox and use reboot option
or
Use a usbjig, its small and cheap XD once you plugged in you can reboot into boodloader
Sorry to bump this so late but I just started trying to fix these again and still can't figure out what to do with this one. New buttons are installed and they work when the tablet is on but whenever I try to boot into recovery or download mode it just boots normal. At a lost here any suggestions?
Ok ordered a USB jig and got it into download mode. Loaded stock from odin and it still popped up with password so I flashed stock again with odin but erased NAND and now I'm just stuck at the final samsung screen and it won't boot. Tried 2 different stock roms with no luck no idea what to do

Bricked and Undetected!!!

So I recently bought the Korean LG G3 (F400) and the first thing I did was rooting it, which was a breeze. Of course to root it I needed to install the LG Mobile Drivers, which I did and were working completely fine. Then I decided to take a little risk and attempt to flash CWM recovery (I did not know that I need to unlock the bootloader first or BUMP! the device) and well, flashed it the same way I flash stuff on my previous Samsung phones.
So now, when I try to boot the phone, I get the LG Logo and goes through with the boot animation, but after a little less than a second the boot animation fails and I get a black screen + the LED flashing blue and green and the phone remains like that. I tried factory reset but after I click yes it shows the LG logo then goes into a black screen (without the boot animation) + LED flashing blue and red.
So I tried finally going into download mode and attempting to return it to stock via LG Flash Tools, and like I said before the drivers were installed, but when I connect the phone to the PC it gives the message "Drivers were not successfully installed" and the LG Flash Tools fails to detect the phone. I checked within Device Manager and it says the LGE MTP device "cannot start".
So I'm pretty much stuck with a phone that doesn't boot, can't flash anything via adb or flash tools and no recovery installed. Can anyone suggest anything I can do to get this beast back up?

Stuck in bootloop after uninstall magisk... Samsung s20

So i tried to unroot my phone via magisk...and it just ****ed me it seems.
It bootloops with first the "this phones bootloader is unlocked..." and then samsung logo with the warning triangle about it not running official samsung software etc.
I cant boot into download mode by going into recovery (it gets stuck on starting fastboot ( the red text )). And i cant hold up and down volume + usb cable to go straight into download either.
after none of these things worked i tried clear cache and wipe data/factory reset with no luck.
i also tried reinstalling magisk from the zip on SD card but got some error and nothing changed.
Am i dooomed? Any tips will be sooo insanely appreciated!
//Jens
ok... i tried another usb cable and it worked getting into download mode. Now i just gotta find the easiest way to get the phone back to stock.
I have the same problem here with my Ultra S20. How did you fix it?? Mine's been stuck all day.. I can get to the recovery menu but not to the download mode.
This happened to me too. I just reflashed the stock firmware and rooted it again etc. It was the only way i could get it back working again.
Install TWRP........
Would have saved your ass.
Also, forndownload mode AND to enter TWRP, use a decent usb cable connected to a computer or laptop.
