My Samsung note 2 won't move from the boot screen. It does boot into recovery when I press the buttons but it won't mount any files. Sideloading works through ADB but then that's just about it as it gives me errors. Tried to use Odin to unbrick it but it keeps giving me errors. What do I do? How do I unbrick my phone? I have posted a screenshot of the errors I am getting. Can someone please advise on what I should do?

I have almost a same situation here with my brothers phone. I don't know why, but every time he manages to brick it like that. When booting into recovery from rom (power menu), it crashes the phone and it gets in a bootloop trying to get into the recovery.
What I did:
- Reflash recovery through odin (odin succes, phone fail)
- Reflash recovery through odin and erase nand (same...)
The only fix I found was to flash the stock rom and nand erase through odin, then flash the recovery (twrp 2.8.6.0), erase almost everything (sys, data, cache) and flash custom rom.
Looking at your pic, after nand write it fails, it could be that your nand chip is dead, and if it is like that, move to an other phone, it isn't worth to get a new mobo for your phone, those things cost more than 100 euro and a great new phone would get about 250 from you (like that asus zenfone, I think that is the one you should aim for if you want mid class to high class phones)

The firmware you trying to flash xxalj3 (saw at screenshot) is very old 4.1.1 with sds bug also. Probably your phone has newer bootloader and 4 this you can't flash it, download latest firmware from Sammy and try again.

IMEI is the same as the one on the phone. I believe I must have installed the wrong ROM. I installed the N7100XXUFNL1 one which said Pakistan but then now that I checked it again, I found out it was for Nigeria, UAE, etc (which share the same CSC). Now I am downloading the N7100XXUFND4 one. Hope it makes a difference. I did backup my IMEI etc incase there is an issue.

Samsung had made efs partition update when released 4.3 if I remember well. This update was making by the kernel when was flashing the fw was updating the efs too. If you haven't flash original firmware via odin 4.3 or later probably your efs is not updated. Try to flash original fw via odin, I think it will work.

Hey guys i got a phone that wont boot up, the inital issue was there was no baseband, so i tired to flash via ODIN the stock image onto the phone, it fails at the modem part. I've looked through a few threads and i think the PIT file might help me; but i cannot for the life of me find the pit file. Does anyone have the Note 2 pit file they can share?

the phone does not boot, and i do not have root. I have not tried flashing the modem through recovery as i dont have a custom recovery on there or a modem.zip
Update - so i was able to get the phone to boot up, installed root and TWRP, installed the note 2 modem but still baseband unknown. From i can understand so far is that its a Tmobile note2, my idiot friend tried to flash the n7100 SW on it, now its showing unknown baseband/IMEI. Is there a fix for this?

By the way,do you know how to check my IMEI ? Maybe is something wrong with my IMEI beacouse before , i had TWRP with Android Revolution HD and i got Emergency Calls Only but i coudnt fix it,no matter what. My IMEI seems good,i mean i have normal numbers but since i remember it is ending in four zeros.

Ok so the only option to get it back working was to install TWRP back and flash Android Revolution HD so i can check the imei in the system,and it shows like this:
004999010640000/01
On the back of the phone and on the original box is another IMEI as follows:
355xxxxxxx4671/1
So clearly my IMEI has been changed/damaged somewhere on the way. Don`t know when,and i don`t have an EFS Backup.
Thing is like follows: If i install TWRP (twrp-2.5.0.1-n7100) and then flash Android Revolution HD the phone works fine,the only problem that i have is the stupid Emergency Calls Only that i can`t fix beacouse everything that i patch or every fix that i try doing it,the phone restarts itself and goes into Samsung Bootloop.
If i flash CWM Philz (philz_touch_6.46.3-n7100) and try to flash Phoenix Rom it doesnt even get pass the blue Samsung Circle,same stupid bootloop.
So my problem is in fact the IMEI ? What do you think ? This is why all of my ROMS bootloops ? And this is why i always get Emergency Calls Only ?
Please help me out Vagsvag beacouse i am loosing my hope here.... This is my only phone and i`ve been trying to fix it since 2 weeks now...

If it is doing the same with original fw sorry but I don't know what you can do in this situation my friend, efs is a big sh1t if is corrupted and you haven't a backup. I had heard that Samsung service center can rewrite it but I don't have experience .

I don't know if you try to flash the modem only over revolution HD via chainfire's mobile odin what will be happened.
For doing this install mobile odin lite http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899 download from end of the page the add-on for n7100 (it's kernel for n7100) also download latest firmware from Sammy or better fne1 (the same version with revolution HD rom), unzip it, copy to your phone and mount the firmware at mobile odin at the place which is saying modem and flash it. Other way to do this is to extract with 7zip the Samsung fw (unzip first and after extract the unzipped .tar.md5 file with 7zip) and take the modem.bin file, copy to phone mount it at mobile odin and flash it. If is difficult to do this post to search at my pc and upload the modem. I have it somewhere.

Thanks very much for your help Vagsvag,i will try and do exactly what you told me to,step by step right now,and if it works out man.... you are going to have a big donation from me. Hopefully i am going to bring my phone back to life.
Forgot to mention,here is a list of ROMs i flashed with ODIN but with no succes.
Odin ver.3.09 (Run in administrator mode)
Stock ROMs as follows:
- GT-N7100_BTU_1_20121003084149_ (This is a 4.1.1 but still bad imei) after i flashed it with ODIN
- ROM-N7100XXUFNL1-20150116192411 (This one was 4.2 i guess) Still bad imei
- XEF-N7100XXUFND3-20140425111035 (This one`s the latest 4.2.2) And still bad IMEI
And all of them (i think) are stock ROM`s (Or at least that i what i tried downloading) From different locations. NONE of them worked thow...
Then i tried Phoenix ROM,no luck there,then i tried Android Revolution HD and still no luck. BUT it seems that everytime i install Android Rev.HD and i press reboot system , TWRP keeps telling me `FIX ROOT etc....` Everytime i install the ROM...hm.... Guess it`s just stupid permissions but it doesnt matter for me. As i had no problems,everytime i installed it,it had supersu in it,and busybox,and rootacces. So it`s ok.
Now i will try what you told me to do,and we will see how that goes. I will reply soon. Thanks again man,you have one beer from me. Your patience is gold for me.

This is the modem of fne1. I don't remember if revolution HD working correct with mobile odin. Some roms don't restart to make the flash. When you mount the modem and you click flash now mobile odin will do restart to flash it, if you see to don't restart is necessary to manual restart to recovery push the power button and select reboot to recovery, this is important, don't do normal restart if it fails to restart do only to recovery to avoid corruption of your installed recovery, after this your phone will restart at mobile odin recovery and will flash the modem. Also check wipe dalvik cache at mobile odin, not really necessary but check it.
https://mega.nz/#F!eR8BCbCD!ga982JMkmdbthMtsBnVeKg
Check md5 before flash, md5 is
708445b2ed18671da2fc8b334a170f95
Also this is a good server to download original sammy fw

Hi! I'm new in here.
I have a big problem. I putted on the resurrection remix 5.0 rom. But I didn't like it because of the camera, multiwindows, little bugs ecc.
So I wanted to turn to stock. So I downloaded the latest firmware H3G Italy 4.4.2 and flashed it with Odin 3.09 first and it didn't work and then with Odin 3.07 and it still didn't work. :crying: :crying: :crying: It is stuck on SAMSUNG whrite
Odin don't give me any errors. At the end it sees Pass! (something like that)
What can I do? Why stock is bricking my phone :crying:
Sorry for my bad english :crying::crying::crying:

He means emergency firmware but not exist for 4.4.2, this was for 4.1.2 and you cannot flash because your bootloader not leaving downgrade first and if you flash 2cond you loose your imei because of efs partition upgrade. Probably you haven't factory reset your phone before flash, go to recovery and factory reset your phone and restart.

so i use kies and try the install firmware thing that asks you to put in your model and serial number. i do that and it says the device doesnt support initialisation. tried on another computer and it said that serial number was invalid.. i was very careful when typing it etc.
help.. what do i do?
btw last firmware i had was 4.4.2

I think you should put original back and start over and read forum more howto.
You use ODIN to flash custom rom, why? ODIN is for original rom. With custom rom need use TWRP or other recovery boot.

I used ODIN for past phones to flash custom kernels and it worked fine. i said i flashed someone that isnt supposed to be supported. i have no idea. i am not an expert and i thought someone can provide with a fast fix since there will surely be someone to have experienced this issue.
anyone else?
bump! please help.. i dont have another phone and I need to get this fixed asap!
You don't need root phone before new kernel or custom rom. And i believe you use wrong files for that and now phone wont boot.
Start over with original ROM. With that you can test is your phone ok. Then use ODIN for recovery kernel and custom rom. Also check this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678420

here are the current device info. it seems that there is no official 4.4.2 rom for my phone. so i ****ed up lol.
Your phone has official 4.4.2 Rom and you are currently using it. If you have Wi-Fi issues, your can try to flash custom kernel (Silviu, alexax)

i tried rebooting the phone but it still is as slow as before. it peaks on 27mbit when i start the speedtest but then drops down to 19 or sth..
actually the download speed seems to be the problem. not the upload. now i forgot the network and connected again and its even slower
After updating my bootloader to NE2 using odin, by phone just keeps and booting up to the Samsung Galaxy logo and restarting. The logo appears for a second or so before restarting. I can access download mode, but receive the following:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7100
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
AP SWREV: A2
RPMB: INVALID RPMB DATA
( the last three lines have appeared, and were not there previously before updating the bootloader). The phone was working fine with stock 4.4.2, before installing the bootloader. I cannot access recovery mode, and have flashed TWRP with odin (reported success in odin), but cannot access the TWRP recovery menu on my phone. I have tried to flash stock 4.4.2 again with odin, I do not receive any errors and receive a success 1 in odin where a blue bar is visible (when flashing) on the screen of my phone. But after the phone restarts, i experience the same bootloop problem. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Open Odin, uncheck everything, flash latest stock ROM from sammobile (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-N7100/), you'll see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery using volume up+power+home, factory wipe, reboot.

Before proceeding, I'd like to ask:
1 - I have a motherboard that I've obtained from China. Would it be ok for me to flash as you've recommended with this motherboard, taking into account the "RPMB: INVALID RPMB DATA" message that appears in download mode ?
2 - Can I install any of the latest firmwares available on sammobile for my galaxy note 2 ?
3 - Would I be able to install TWRP and custom roms after ?
Thanks
1) The important thing is to match the model # to the firmware. If you try to flash firmware from sammobile and it is not the correct firmware, Odin will stop the flash process. As of right now, this seems to be the safest method to get the phone working.
2) See my response to question 1.
3) Yes, you can install TWRP and custom ROMs either before or after flashing a stock ROM. I recommend getting the phone to work with a stcok ROM before trying custom ROMs.

After flashing the N7100XXUFOC2 firmware with all boxes unchecked in odin, i still receive a bootloop, and the phone is not entering recovery :-/. The messages that appear in download mode have remained unchanged.
It's flashing properly with no error? When you try to enter recovery, what shows on screen? Did you try any other firmware? I see there is PE2 firmware too.

Yes it flashes with no errors. When turning the phone on, the samsung galaxy note 2 logo appears for just under a second, and the phone restarts and repeats until i remove the battery. Nothing happens when I try to enter the recovery menu, the same behaviour is observed (phone restarting constantly after showing SGnote2 logo). I have been reading around, and i suspect (just a guess, not sure) that the "RPMB: INVALID RPMB DATA" message that I observe in download mode may have something to do with this.
You may have to have it fixed at a cell repair shop. They may be able to fix it via jtag cable or maybe with an Octopus box.

Is there anything else that i could try ? I used an app to check the bootloader version when it was working on stock 4.4.2, and it stated that it was at LJ7. After updating the bootloader to NE1, I've experienced this problem. Would it be possible to revert back to the previous bootloader ( and would this help ?). I've flashed custom roms with no problems, beforehand using TWRP.
How did you update the bootloader? Did you update the bootlaoder without updating anything else?

I downloaded the NE1 bootloader from a user here who has a list of bootloaders on his profile (user: Androidwizzard), and flashed it using Odin v3.09 with the default boxes checked. I did not update anything else ( just clicked the "BL" field and selected the bootloader, then flashed).
Are you sure the bootloader was for your phone? I know that updating the bootloader without updating anything else on the Samsung s3 can cause the phone to hard or soft brick.

Yeah. Would it be possible to revert the bootloader back to what it was previously ? Also, is there anything else that you may suggest that i could do ? I'm still not sure what is causing this issue exactly. It seems strange that I can flash all files with no errors using Odin. By flashing a later firmware, is the bootloader automatically updated ? ( if yes, then I'm not sure why the app stated that my bootloader version was at LJ7, given that I've flashed stock 4.4.2 with odin beforehand.)
Do you have a link for the bootloader?
Did the phone work properly before flashing the new NE1 bootloader?
Did you try flashing the latest ROM, regardless of the country from sammobile? Something newer than ne1?

I have not tried flashing the latest rom ( I could try, if that may help). I can not provide the direct link to the bootloader, since i will have to produce 10 posts ( new user here lol ). You can find the bootloader by searching google: [bootloader/modem/rom][tw kitkat][4.4.2][pf1 + pc1 + oe1 + od4 + nl1 +], then going to Androidwizzard second post.
The phone was working great before flashing the NE1 bootloader. As mentioned previously, I've flashed the N7100XXUFOC2 firmware resulting in no change.
Try flashing the latest ROM PF1 ROM as that may help.
I think updating the bootloader without updating other parts of the ROM may have caused the problem but I don't know for sure.
If flashing the latest ROM does not work, try flashing the latest ROM with a pit file. If that still doesn't work, you may have to have it force flashed at a cell shop.

I will give it a go right now. Would you be able to guide me to where I could obtain the appropriate pit file for the phone ? The firmwares with PF1 have (orange) carrier. Would this affect things ?
Is your phone a 16 GB or 32 GB model?
It should not matter at this point because you want to get the phone booted. Once booted, you should be able to change the carrier later.
