I have bricked my samsung galaxy s3 sgh i747, and i would appreciate the experts help in fixing it. so here is the history of what has happened over the last week
running 4.3,
installed clockworkmod recovery
rooted phone via cf auto root
made full nandroid back up
downloaded and installed CM 11 nightlies
here is where things started to go wrong...
Cm 11 installed and lauched, but with many erros: system uid inconsistent, wi fi would not turn on, bluetooth not turn on, and many apps stopped working.
perfomed nandroid restore, restored and lauched. I kept getting an error message, which was something along the lines of: com.google.gapps has stopped working. everytime i hit ok, it would come back, which would not allow me to use the phone at all.
decided to an emergency firmware recovery through kiess.. recovery failed...
tried downloading firmware from sammobile. flash with odin...fails
i was able to flash clockworkmods recovery again. now when it boots it gets stuck in the att logo...
Im stuck and need advice as to what i can do.
thanks in advance for any help
So I have an Att Note 2, which is bricked or soft bricked. I am a very rookie Android guy when it comes to modifying or hacking. I did root my Note 2 with Cyanogenmod. However, I missed S Note and the use of my S Pen so I researched a bit to get back to stock with the use of Odin and stock roms found on the net. I was successful, and actually amazed it worked. Long story short, a few days after that, an OTA update hit my phone, didn't even think about it and began the download. The phone downloaded the update, and rebooted to complete the install. The problem is, during reboot, the phone got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen. I researched a bit online, and everyone said get to recovery mode and do a few things. Problem is, I can't get into recovery mode, I can only get the screen described above, and the download screen, THAT IS ALL. Looked a bit more online and attempted to flash various stock roms with Odin. Some were successful, Odin passed, and the phone would get stuck on the Note II screen again, and would not boot into recovery mode, same issue with only being able to access download mode. The unsuccessful flash attempts got me to screen informing me that Kies needs to be used to update my firmware. Kies showed a recovery code, which was downloaded, but unsuccessful. It would download all the way, but at the end of install, it would fail. Funny thing is it would work enough to get me back to the ability to get into download mode. I just want my Note 2 working again. Is there any way to wipe my phone completely clean, and start over? Or is there any way to even re-root it, or flash any sort of rom on there, just so I can use the damn thing? I need some help by you pros out there ! Please!

Try flashing a recovery for ur device with Odin, not a ROM, just flash twrp recovery with Odin, after u flash the recovery u will be able to access recovery and flash a stock ROM through twrp. I think what happened to u is when u flashed the update it tried to right over the unlocked bootloader which caused the soft brick, try flashing the recovery for ur device and if that doesn't work try the above posters way...

Hi all, hope somebody can rescue me!
I have an N7100. It's been running stock ROM 4.1.2 for ages (rooted). I've rooted and loaded ROMs on a fair few devices over the years, but typically by following step-by-step guides - I'm a noob to all intents and purposes.
Last night I decided to upgrade to 4.4.2.
I did it without performing a wipe first.
Backed up apps and settings using Titanium Backup Pro
Downloaded N7100XXUFNE1 from Sammobile (sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=32635)
Loaded it via Odin 3.9
It worked, in a fashion, maintaining most of my data and apps etc, but I couldn't get wifi to turn on and I kept getting error messages saying '[App X] could not be loaded'
I decided to bite the bullet and do a factory reset (by booting into recovery).
I still couldn't get wifi to work, but my bootloader had stayed at ME3, so I decided to apply the latest bootloader (ND3) as I read somewhere that this could be the issue (I wasn't overly concerned about Knox as the phone is almost 2 years old now anyway).
I applied it via ODIN again, except loading the file into the 'BL' section rather than the 'AP'.
Since doing that, it's stuck at the boot screen 'Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100' and the only way to get out of it is to pull the battery.
I can got into 'Download Mode' but not into 'Recovery Mode'.
I have tried applying MJ5 bootloader.
I have tried reinstalling the whole stock again ROM again
I have tried applying Philz_Touch_6.07.9-n7100 recovery
All show as having completed successfully in Odin, but none of them changed anything - I'm still stuck at the boot screen
Does anybody have any ideas of what else I might try?
Thanks

Have you tried flashing TWRP instead? This happened to me and got stuck on recovery boot, CWM and Philz Touch wonb't load. Flashed TWRP and worked like a charm.
I am having similar problem.
Tried to flash the TWRP Recovery from THIS via Odin.
Still phone isn't going past the Galaxy Note II logo.

Thanks for the reply.
It processes OK and Odin says 'Pass!', but then it automatically restarts and gets stuck at the boot screen again. Still can't boot into recovery mode.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just tried that, but unfortunately it just does the same thing ....
Man do this.....
Get older odin (personally my preferance nothing else)
Flash the latest stock rom that u have
It will say pass and the device will go into bootloop
Now remove battery any stick it in (just to stop bootloops)
Enter recovery (that shld be stock now)
And do a factory reset
If no recovery......get a custom one and do it
Then let the phone do its thing:good::good:

If u have any wifi or other issues.....flash the new bootloader. ....with AP not the BL...and done....
Hope this helps......cheers:good:

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried doing just that (although not on an older version of Odin) and it hasn't helped, I can't get into recovery.
I will give flashing the Bootloader a go via the AP rather than BL when I get back from work tonight though. Cheers.

Hi, I do appreciate you're only trying to help but, as explained numerous times in the thread, that's my whole problem.
In summary:
The phone gets stuck on the boot screen
I can't boot into recovery
I can only get into the odin download screen
Flashing a full stock rom doesn't change anything
Flashing Philz, TWRP or CW Recovery doesn't change anything
Reflashing the bootloader doesn't change anything

Just to close this thread off, I've now paid to get the phone sorted at a local shop. Took them a while (think their first level support just tried all the things I'd already done), but their occasional staff member and all round guru managed to get it sorted. I don't know what he did as I didn't get the chance to speak to him. Cost me £30.
Hello all,
I've got a Tab 3 7.0 T210R stuck on the Samsung logo with pulsing blue background. I've read through several Samsung boot loop help threads as well as the general Loop noob helper but haven't found a fix yet.
For my stuck T210R, What I've done & can do:
Was rooted with a "patched" stock UK ROM from last March [sorry, don't recall which]
Was running fine until after I tried to install from Play the TWRP Manager, I obviously did something bad! like select wrong device maybe
I can get into Philz, TWRP, & use Odin
I don't have a recovery back up [i really don't care about restoring back to anything - just want it to work, clean slate, ya know]
Tried a couple of latest ROM's through Philz and a stock ROM XAC-T210RUEAMK1-20131122134958.zip though ODIN. They seemed to be successful but I still can't get past Samsung logo
I've tried these ROMS that seem to load but ixna on successful boot afterwards:
ODIN: KIES_HOME_T210RUEAMK1_T210RXACAMK1_1304745_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Philz: Stock.rooted.deodexed.T210R.zip
Philz: TAB3-T210-HASSAN-ROM-V1.0-kitkat-4.4.2-Aroma-Mods-all Languages.zip
Philz: cm-10.1-20131209(1)-UNOFFICIAL-lt02wifiue.mine.zip
What's killing me is that loading new or stock ROM's SEEM to work - no errors or anything obviously indicative that I'll still be boot looping as soon as I restart. I'm quite desperate and thinking I'm truly bricked.
I haven't yet tried using ADB but if I can use ODIN and TWRP or Philz, will ADB do anything better than what I've already done? I haven't tried anything with the kernel as I can't really understand what to do there. I read and read and read the kernel threads but with my experience its really not as straight forward as rooting or flashing a ROM or software, and I could conceivably screw up worse! I'm mildly experienced at following guides to have rooted and ROM loaded a 1st gen Kindle Fire, Samsung SII skyrocket, S4, Tab 2 7.0, Tab 3 7.0.
No replies or interest? Please help
I'm I in the wrong forum? Did I offend someone? Could really use some input, please.
Any one seen this before? If you've any experience LOSING this battle, please speak up and I'll know to just resign to now owning a pretty white Samsung brick.
Boot to customed recovery under wipe choose format this will zero all partitions then redo
thanks!

if i could find the "thanks" button I'd use it.
I'm traveling now but definitely try your solution. By "redo" I presume you mean load a ROM. When I wipe I also presume I'll still have custom recovery? I should still be able to ODIN, too, if needed?
thanks again
Yes exactly recovery will not go away once you have formatted the partitions you can now flash a new customed ROM or reflash original FW using Odin..Cheers
Hey buddy wanted to know if you ever found a solution for your issue? I am in the same bind you were in. Can you help guide me. I tried installing the same files you did and to no avail. I bought a Tab 3 T210R from eBay that was stuck in boot loop, I am assuming that it isn't rooted as when I would I went into download mode, it said the firmware was official.
Hi All,
Sorry for my English, it's not my language.
I need your help because I think I have bricked my Note 7 after trying to install the last Hydra rom 1.3.5.
I explain you the situation:
I have installed custom TWRP => it was good
Then I have rooted with superU => it was good
Then I have tried to install hydra rom => the installation was OK
The phone reboot at the end of installation => phone stay on start screen "Hydra rom" and reboot (loop infinite)
I cannot power OFF the phone.
I cannot go to the recovery menu.
I can only go to the download mode.
So I have tried to re-install TWRP with ODIN but it was not working. Ondin detects my phone and when I click on start, I have the message "Fail" on ODIN and the phone reboot.
Do you have any ideas to help me?
Thanks.
Note 7 Problem - please help if you can, please
Hello
I am newbie here with no proper experience [ I flashed mobile with success once but it was years ago with NOKIA e90!]
I have Note 7 exynos UK VODAFONE and I did flashed it with older OEM firmware [ to bring it back to 100% battery], I downloaded from sammobile than recent one on my mobile [ limited 60% battery]
I unchecked re-partition
I used AP file there
all went fine with ODIN v3.11.1 all pass !
but once mobile started I have big message on my screen which does not disappear [ see attached photo]
unfortunately, the process
com.android.phone stopped
I can click/press OK on screen below that message, but it reappears again and again
I tried to flash it again but now ODIN says fail and something about PIT
I would appreciate some help or tell me what steps I should take [ apart of surrendering phone to place I bought it from!!!]
regards
M.
What I did to make this work:
1 install TWRP
2 whipe format data "yes" x3
3 advanced format everything except external storage
4 reboot to download mode
5 open Odin on pc flash BL/CP provided in original Post of HydraRom
6 install HydraRom via TWRP
7 follow direction installation process
8 wait 5 mins boom!
Never fails for me.
I did that. I have already did that several time before. But I think I have understood the problem. My BL file is corrupt (may be during the download from the server)!
So I think the boot loader not working correctly! I have tried to reload one but without success. Directly Odin write "FAIL"...
Able to access Download mode only after Hydra flash. Solution?
Did this issue ever get a solution? I am having the same issue. I can enter into download mode only after the attempted hydra flash. Now it's stuck on "Hydra N7" boot screen. I had N930F flashed and running with twrp. When I attempted hydra I believe that the full rom did not flash, only 40 MB or so. To make matters worse I can't find where I jotted down my baseband, etc. It was originally N930X (live demo model). Now I get fails in odin. What can I do to remedy my situation. I read that I should flash BPH6 base files, but here it says AGO or AG2 BL. Which is it? How do I wipe the cache and data since I can only access Odin mode? I believe my BL is corrupted. Please help. I was going to trade my Note 7 in but my imei is all zeros and the boot loop. I'm not sure that they will refund or exchange in this condition. Although, they should since I doubt Samsung wants the liability of having these devices out there. Any thoughts on the matter?
Any insight and guidance is greatly appreciated!
