Have you tried flashing a stock rom from sammobile.com using Odin? You're using the original Samsung USB cable that came with the phone? Tried other USB cables and ports on the computer?
Note 2

Download the latest .exe of "kies" software from official samsung site & install it on your laptop & then try to connect your phone , that should solve it !!!

Dear All,
I have encountered a problem with my note 2 that unfortunately closes a lot of doors for me to fix. I thought about asking you guys and hopefully this has not been asked before. Ok so my problem is that I had rooted phone ages ago and i had SuperSU installed with the root. Later on some official update came out and I let it update. After that I might have lost my root there and then not sure though. When I try to do something in root it won't let me, also it fails when trying to change super user app. What is killing me mostly is that any computer I connect using different cables, won't recognise my phone, as if it was not even connected although it charges normally. At first it was sometimes charging and not, sometimes freezing if connected to the USB. It might be hardware related but I want to try to fix this issue first to be sure. I can't even use Odin since it's not being detected so unrooting and going back to the seller is out of question.
Can anyone help me please? I am thinking of trying custom firmware through sdcard installation but i cant even install CWM and when using official recovery the package is not accepted. (signature issues). There may be some easy workaround I do not know of hence me asking you experienced guys.
Big thanks for reading this and hopefully helping me.

So you mean odin is not detecting phone in download mode ?
Try connecting the phone and see if adb works but I don't really think it would work. Try another cable. Could be that usb port is damaged.
Try another recovery.

No, Odin is not detecting the phone although it starts charging like normal. I will check adb later tonight when I am on my home pc. I have tried in total 4 different cables same result. I have used 3 different operating systems on different computers, still not detected. Usb port might be damaged but I don't think they will be happy seeing its rooted.(they being the store i bought it from, that is why I have not gone to them yet.
I have a similar issue since 4.1.2 however my phone is recognized by computer and odin in download mode, are you sure you tried it on download mode?

Yes I have tried download mode, that's why this problem is killing me :/ The root access is completely unusable and not working too.
Hey,
I have looked everywhere found many tricks and tips, guides, programs, drivers, yet i'm still have problems. I think that it could be problems with my phone. I recently bricked my phone (installed a rom from a different note 2 version and was stuck in a boot loop). Went to go plug in the phone to restore back to stock and the phone wasn't detected. It was a new laptop so i figured it was a driver issue. Installed the drivers still nothing. Long story short I have installed multiple drivers, Note 2 toolkit (mskip big thanks), Samsung Kies, and Odin (all at separate times) all in an attempt to get this phone connected. I have tried 2 different USB cords, different plug-ins, different computers yet still nothing. Now I have gotten my phone back to stock but went to install a new rom and now it wont load past the boot screen. But that was after my trying for a whole day of plugging in and unplugging before 1 time it was connected. I can not understand the issue besides it being my phone. I don't have anything else to try besides plugging it in and out over and over for the 1 time it decides to work and connect. I am getting very frustrated with this because I currently have no phone. Is their a way to tell if the connector is messed up in any way? I'm really needing help because nothing i'm doing is working.

Have the same issue. I am trying fr a work computer, internet restricted, no kies. Now can only recognize note 2 as a camera. When I switch thw usb settings in android, I get the not supported box. Same thing happens at the home computer. I left bb for this??
This is a simple hardware fail and needs to be taken in for warranty repair. The fact that it's bricked, we'll you're just gonna have to cross your fingers and hope they don't charge you for a new one.
Or you can try a jig to get it into download mode and try to push a rom through.

Thats what i'm going to do take it in and see if they can fix it but i want to get it back to stock firmware before but not being able to plug it in to update it is kinda ruining that plan.
Well I turned in 3 notes with custom roms that were rooted and I never got charged, but I always run a stockist rom.
What rom did you flash?

Are u able to boot in recovery?
PM me if u need help

Can you boot into recovery? If so then you can push a file to your SD card using adb. If your having problems with Samsung drivers or what ever good way to test is connecting your phone to a Linux box and setting up udev and adb. Then you can do a adb device command and see if it sees it.
If you have the time to install Linux on a extra hard drive or duel boot you can connect using adb.
Nice thing about Linux is that you can connect directly to the USB device using udev and the device id and with ADB you can push a file onto your phones SD card. Here's a good how to

So my GS3 is about a year old and the charging port gave out while trying to return to a stock touchwiz rom (4.3 to be exact). So i got worried and went to a local phone shop where they fix phones and told them to replace my charging port. As asked they did replace the port with a new one and it works for charging, but it doesn't fully connect to my laptop. I've tried replacing the drivers at least 10 times, I tried going into download mode to see if odin would detect it and as thought it did not appear in the dialog box, and I've tried over 5 different data cables including the original one that came with it, and I tried restoring to stock with Samsung kies both versions and the phone never came up either. Anyway my question was is it something they did or is my phone not going to work anymore. I'll provide some pictures with the things I've tried. Please reply quick this is starting to worry me a lot (I wasn't this worried when i fell off my atv). i forgot to add that when i connect it the phone turns on but doesn't connect to the laptop is it something i did or was it the repair
Hello experts,
I have Samsung Note 2 N7105 32GB that is soft-bricked. I happened without any trials for flashing. I was skiing one day and went back and everything was good. The next day i left my phone home to charge. and since then it is a boot loop. when i try to switch it on, or sometimes just when USB cable is connected it tries to boot. I get samsung logo and then "downloading", like the attached picture (sorry, i can't add a picture. ask me if it 's needed)
When i tried to install original firmware using different Odin versions including v3.6 and v3.11 i get error message something like "PIT is not available" or "Cannot find PIT", even when i repartitioning option is selected.
So what i thought is that it is a HW issue.
The phone does not go into restore mode (it entered restore mode once, but not any more) but it can go to download mode and i can see there the device model and all other details. first i thought of SDS but for me it might not be the case, because it was long time after the SDS was detected and i have already updated the phone firmware to the latest version. Also i read that a faulty eMMC would result to not show the device name on Odin Mode (But may be i am wrong) and what i read is that the 32GB version is less likely to have it.
I took it to Samsung Customer Service and they wanted to fix it by changing the main board, which is pretty costy for such an old phone, and what i really want from the phone is the data.
Can someone help me to suggest how to get the data out of the eMMC? Any help would be appreciated
post a picture of your download mode..
does it show model number????
if it doesnt not show model number it could be SDS(sudden death issue) famous for note 2 series

Thanks for your answer. I am not allowed to post links, because I am a new memeber. But in downlaod mode i can see the model number. That's why i don't think it's SDS. Now, I want to restore my app data instead of changing the mainboard
Are you using the original Samsung USB cable to flash the ROM? Have you tried different USB cables and USB ports?

I tried both the original USB cable and other USB cables. For me it seems a HW issue. Could someone help me to diagnose it?
