That should work. Have you tried using PC Odin instead?

Hi Mate,
Its nomal to get stuck at the samsung boot screen after you have flashed stock rom.
Just remove the battery, wait for 30 odd seconds and put it back. start the phone in stock recovery mode (press volume up botton + home + power ) (since you have flashed stock rom, so you will have stock recovery).
select data reset, then select cache reset and reboot the phone. your phone will boot fine and you will have the startup wizard....
Cheers, Sumit

Have you wipe data in recovery mode?

We need more info before we can get help. Tell us you're phone model number, how it got this way, what you did in Odin/Heimdall and how you flashed it.

If you don't know what you're doing, don't do it! Ask before you do it.
Follow the tutorial below to unbrick your phone.
Enter CWM (press and hold Home + Volume Up + Power button, when the Samsung logo appears, release the Power button and keep pressing Home + Volume Up buttons) and:
select "clear data/factory reset"
go to "mounts & storage" and format /system. This is extremely important!
under the same menu, format /sdcard (be careful NOT to format /external_sd by mistake)
restart into Download mode (restart, press and hold Home + Volume Down + Power buttons)
flash Samsung stock ROM via ODIN Multidownloader
reboot your phone (it will probably automatically reboot anyway after ODIN finishes flashing the stock ROM)
Oh, and by the way, if you would have followed this tutorial when flashing those 3 custom ROMs, your 3G connectivity might have worked and you wouldn't have gotten into this kind of troubles by trying to flash stock ROM over custom ROM without wiping the most important component of any ROM (the /system folder!).

similar issue
Hi, I don't know if I should make a separate post but I have a similar problem.
My Note 2 is stuck on the "Samsung GALAXY Note II GT-N7100" screen at boot. Only by flashing a stock ROM through ODIN can this be fixed. When I try to install a custom recovery and ROM on it, it gets stuck again at that screen.
Can anyone help me?

Hold down power button for 5~10 secs. after it stucks on boot logo, and try if it reboots normally.
Or press Vol. up + Menu key and then power key for 5~10 secs it'd boot your phone into recovery mode.

Please reread my post. It's a persistent issue. Rebooting doesn't do anything. Recovery doesn't do anything.

I was wondering if anyone had a similar issue to mine and how to flash a custom rom after that. The only way I've found for the phone to work was to use ODIN to flash the stock firmware on it. After that, if I try to install a custom ROM, it goes back to the SAMSUNG screen at boot.
So if you, jikre, know how to fix this issue, I'm all ears.

This method has fixed numerous problems. Might be worth a try.

Download a stock firmware and use ODIN v3.09 to flash it onto your phone. It should work.

If you wanted to install custom rom, if so, you can't flash it through Odin (Only for flashing for Official stuff ). Download a custom rom, whichever you wanted(Copy that rom on externel SD), reboot into recovery and by selecting 'wipe data and cache' >> 'clean to install a new rom'.
Then again coming to main menu select Install zip from sd, and redirect it to rom file which you've downloaded. In any custom rom like DN3, SenSonic they've full procedure for flashing the rom, just stick to it to install it perfectly...
Any quest?

Got you man, i'm just saying that this problem of yours is come with the Andro v4.3 and knox bootloader. First if anyone tried to install custom recovery it get stuck on bootlogo, but that is an another factor you can reboot it manually into recovery menu.
On the end when you attempt to reboot (from recovery) it asks you to disable stock recovery and you reboot your phone normally, that's it!

Ah okay, that makes sense. Unfortunately that doesn't apply to my situation. I had already been on a 4.3 custom rom for several months when the phone just died like that. As of right now, I can only get it to work if I flash a stock ROM on it.

I have used both CWM and TWRP recoveries. Complete wipe every time before installing a new ROM. Still doesn't work. Only wiping and installing stock firmware through ODIN would the phone start.

Which ROM you tried to flash? Can you upload a pic of PC Odin, showing how you flash the phone. Or just enlist the options.
Try flashing your phone by philz touch ('Wipe Data & Cache >> Clean to Install a New ROM" << Maybe your previous installation troubling to set a new one, If persist again try this method):

Try flashing the custom recovery again but uncheck "auto reboot" in odin and then once done flashing manually enter into recovery mode by pressing volume up + home + power and let go of all 3 buttons as soon as you see the samsung logo.Prior to doing this put superSu v 1.94 in your sd card so you can flash it right after booting into recovery ,this would root your phone for more guidance refer to this guide.Philz touch 6.26.6 or 6.41 should be used.

Hello Vatsalbh9, follow the steps in video to root your phone.
1. Yes you need to root your device to use custom recovery.
2 & 3. You need to use odin first to get cwm recovery installed in your phone. Follow video steps.
4. When you have installed cwm recovery mode with odin, just go to recovery mode (keep holding vol up+power+home button until samsung galaxy grand gt i9082 logo appears on screen). Der you will see backup option. So make a nandroid backup in your external sd card and transfer that backup (clockworkmod folder in your ext sd card) in your laptop or pc for future use.
Download the files given in the description of the video.

No need of downloading stock rom, just make a nandroid backup for future use if you want to go back to stock rom. Download any of the custom rom given in the development thread.

Follow these steps for nandroid backup :-
1. Enter into recovery mode(vol up+power+home button)
2. U will see many options like - reboot system, install from zip, wipe data... Bla bla bla... And BACKUP AND RESTORE
3. Select Backup & Restore option.
4. Once u select it, again many options will come but choose backup on ext sd card/sdcard01
5. Nandroid backup will take around 5-10 mins depending upon your data size.
6. Once the process is complete, you will see a text written on bottom of screen 'Backup is complete'.... Go back to previous menu and reboot your phone.
7. You will find "clockworkmode" folder in your ext sd card. This folder contains your nandroid backup. Transfer this folder to another safe location like pc or laptop.
Note.. While in cwm recovery mode, use vol up and down key for navigation and power key for selecting any particular option.
Also dont increase comments for saying thanks, just press the thanks button
For installing any custom rom, download and save the rom, GApps in your ext sd card and flash them in cwm recovery mode.
Steps for installing rom will be given in respective rom threads but generally these steps are to be performed :-
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe cache partition
3. Wipe dalvik cache
4. Install rom(zip)
Once installation is complete, install GApps
5. Wipe cache partition
6. Wipe delvik cache
7. Reboot your phone.
First boot of every custom rom will take a longer time to boot.. Varying from 3-10 mins, so dont panic.
Also some custom roms require latest version of cwm recovery, so before installing custom rom, download the recovery and flash it..
1. In cwm( if it is a zip file)
Or
2. In odin( if it is a. Img or. Tar file)

Redo the process.... I think cwm is not installed on ur phone yet. When you see pass in odin.. Just remove the battery manually... Wait for 5-6 seconds.. Den reboot your phone.. Once a normal reboot is completed... Den go to recovery mode....
Hope u get it this time.

Ok...
Is the CWM provided in the YouTube link is latest ?
Cz if I want to install latest rom will it support ?
And is it necessary to flash supersu via CWM for installing custom rom ? Or only CWM is enough ?

No it isnt the latest version, but it will help you to proceed further. Once you get this cwm recovery mode, you can easily flash latest version as well.. And there will be a link given for recommend recovery in rom thread.
No it isnt necessary to flash super su as all cm11 based roms have inbuilt super su with them.

Seems like you dont have usb drivers installed properly in your pc. Does the ID:Com turns into blue color when you connect your phone to pc? If not then install samsung kies first on ur pc.
See d screenshot... The portion circled should be blue... Before hitting start.

Yes sir it turns blue...it says about ID:COM(3) something...

1. Use this recovery by pawitp
2. Untick Auto reboot checkbox in Odin.
3. Once Odin shows pass, remove battery, wait 10-15 secs, re-insert and enter Recovery mode (by pressing Vol up +. Power button + Home keys at once until u see boot loader screen and release immediately).

Before you start odin kill kies at background using task manager else it will fail

I didnt immediately took off the battery... I let the fon boot after flashing... I think im making a mistake there... cz I had checked auto reboot in my attempts...

Now im gonna try by unchecking auto reboot option...
When Odin will display Pass, I will disconnect fon from usb and then take off the battery...
Will wait for 15 secs and then will try to boot into recovery mode...
Hope its all done... Fingers crossed...
And I have to release all three buttons(up+home+power)when galaxy grand logo appears... is it right ?
