Hello!
My Note 2 died a few days ago and nothing seem to help it live again.
It stays stuck on the Samsung logo when I try to boot it up and accessing the recovery gives me the errors in the picture (can't mount EFS etc...).
It was working fine and it suddendly stopped working.
I can enter download mode fine and everything seems to be ok there, the product name is there, System Status: Official, Current Binary: Samsung Official.
I tried flashing a 4.4 Rom via Odin but it fails giving me a NAND write error, I also tried to use Kies firmware initialization but Kies doesn't detect my phone, it gets stuck on "establishing connection". I'm sure my cable is working fine because I tried connecting another Samsung phone, I also tried all the USB ports and a different PC too.
I read that it could be due to EMMC memory fail and that it can be fixed by replacing the motherboard only, but I also read that people with that problem also get a blank Product Name in download mode, which isn't my case.
Is it really an hardware problem? Can I try some other routes?
It won't let me posts images so here's a link to the problem I encounter in recovery mode

while the firmware was loading my usb cable failed and an error popped up saying odin process was aborted then the com port went empty (the phone disappeared) no the phone will not go into download mode while trying to get into download mode every thing looks good till you press the up button an you go to odin mode but with a message: firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
however my pc will not recognize my phone any more and i can not get into recovery either
in fact if i just plug the phone in it boots up to this message screen without even touching any buttons
I have tried just about everything i can think of even a unified toolkit but nothing will work as i cant access recovery or odin or kies???
I have also gone threw the forums and was not able to find anything pertaining to this directly
please help
Its been a long time since I booted my Galaxy Note-II (GT-N7100) as I use an iPhone and Nexus 5 as my daily drivers.
The phone wont boot past the Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 logo. I am able to access the recovery and download mode as well, and I have flashed the latest stock rom from Sammobile using the Odin. The flashing was successful. however the phone doesn't boot past the logo. Also the phone will not power up unless connected to a PC, it wont power up even when connected to a charger and will immediately shut down when the USB cable is disconnected from the PC. I flashed TWRP 3.0.2 Custom Recovery using the Odin and tried installing CM 13 based Rom through the mem card, however the log reads patching image unconditionally and also that "Failed to mount /system" (invalid argument). The phone when restarted into recovery can no longer mount the /system partition. However on flashing the stock rom using Odin, the /system partition is available for mounting. The recovery log also shows MTP enabled, but my PC doesn't detect the phone when in recovery, it only detects the phone in Download mode. I have the Samsung drivers installed. Since the phone is not being detected in recovery I am unable to use the adb.
I am out of ideas and request your suggestions other than approaching a service centre.
If I can somehow access the phone via ADB, I might be able to check the memory partitions for corrupt units, and possibly create a custom PIT file to repartition and suit the available memory units.
Try this: open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Connect phone and flash stock ROM. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery for a few seconds, replace battery, immediately boot the phone into recovery mode, factory wipe, and boot the phone.
Could the battery be defective or dead?

Thanks a lot.
Tried your method and finally the phone has booted into the OS.
Had to replace the battery with another spare one in the process.
However the phone is still not being detected by the PC unless it's in Fastboot/ Download mode.
When connected to a computer, does anything appear on the phone screen? If you're using Windows, nothing new appears in device manager?
sorry to jump in this thread but i am having a similar problem
my completely stock tmobile note 2 is stuck on the samsung logo
i have never flashed it or done anything to it
my phone was working really slow, freezing up and battery draining fast
so i did a hard reset and it fixed the problem of running slow and freezing up for a week or so but battery drained fast
so i bought a replacement battery from ebay and installed it and the next day i restarted my phone and it froze on the samsung logo
i tried turning it off and on and still the same thing
any suggestions or should i start a new thread?
fyi i am a noob
I have a Samsung Note 8 GT-N5110 (WiFi only) that is stuck at the Samsung logo.
This started after there was an attempt to flash a non-stock firmware and the device powered off before it was done.
When I attempt to enter Recovery Mode (Volume Up + Home + Power) it displays "Write Fail!" in upper left of the screen.
I am able to enter "Download Mode", so I've tried flashing a stock firmware using Odin.
I've tried both a One-Click recovery based on ODIN3 v1.81 and also tried Odin3 v3.12.10.
Each time, Odin fails, with a message:
write fail!!
SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:2, BINARY:1
I've tried various versions of firmware, and nothing seems to work.
I've tried disconnecting the battery for a minute or so, and it still fails.
Any ideas what else I can try?
I have screen shots and detailed logs of what I've been getting, if that helps.
Thanks!
Believe it or not, I still have this device, and have not been able to get it to work!
So, I'll just revive this zombie post more than 2 years later, and see if anyone has any idea on what to do.
I'm in the fourth (fifth? sixth?) week of corona-quarrantine, so plenty of time to look into this!
The tablet needs more power than the computer's USB port can deliver. Thus, it will slowly drain the battery while connected to the computer and working via ADB, Odin or Heimdall. Seems like that has been the case in your earlier attempt, resulting in a corrupt flash memory. I can't tell if it's really defective or just corrupt and in need of formatting.
I'd try to:
1) Charge the battery
2) Copy LineageOS to the MicroSD card
3) Boot into download mode and install TWRP only via Odin or Heimdall. If this works,
4) Boot into Recovery (TWRP, not the stock one!), connect the charger to keep it powered and go from there (wipe and repair the internal flash, install LineageOS)
If this doesn't work, try if you can find any service functions in Odin or Heimdall to wipe and repair the internal flash.
Good Luck!
Ektus.
Hi Ektus,
Thanks for your help!
I will try as you suggested, and see what happens.
I'll let you know how I do.
Thanks!
I had similar problem. What I did is just change the USB cable to new.
*****FIXED*****
I attempted to revive a bricked device on boot loop using download mode and ODIN.
Later an error occurred and my table was brought to ''firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen.
I am unable to use Kies because it cannot detect my device as I cant boot into download mode , as soon as I power on, I am taken to the same screen.
*short: I can't get PC to recognise device and cannot enter download mode.(I have installed drives)
Is there any solution to this?
Thank you!
EDIT: I just found out about USB jigs, will any jig work with my device or do I need a certain compatible one (Can't seem to find anything)
Hey guys, I am trying to repair an SM-T800 that a retired co-worker left in his office on his last day. Unfortunately this means I dont know if ADB is/was enabled in settings, nor do I know what he did to screw it up. I have installed the latest Samsung USB drivers on my PC. When you try to boot up it gets stuck on the logo screen with the error "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" and will not go beyond that.
I can get in to recovery: https://dl.xda-cdn.com/5/1/3/2/7/1/5/20201109_150504.jpg?key=mBcAaKMn5XfEKbdT-D9RAg&ts=1604952923 However when i go into ADB; my PC will not detect it. I performed a wipe data/system factory reset and I get stuck with the same error on the logo screen. If i reboot to Bootloader I get stuck at the same error on the logo screen.
I can get however get into download mode.: https://dl.xda-cdn.com/5/1/3/2/7/2/7/20201109_154421.jpg?key=AVyFna3n1f9PXJ6O6fWIig&ts=1604954839 but Odin will not detect the tablet.
I tried multiple cables on on multiple different PCs and it will not detect through ADB/Odin either. Is there a flashable zip I can install via microSD card from the stock recovery? Are there any de-brick tools? Any assistance anyone can offer is greatly appreciated.
I can't count how many times I've soft bricked my T800. Odin has always been my savior. My thoughts are, if you can get it into download mode, but even with multiple USB cables, Odin fails to respond, you've possibly got a damaged USB port on the tab. Does Windows respond when you connect it to a USB port. (USB2 ONLY, I believe.)
