So I was messing around/not reading directions and trying to root with Chainfire's and also the Toolkit. I am not sure what happened. Long story short, I am now stuck at the galaxy note 2 startup screen. Is there a file I can Odin to get everything back to normal? I was trying to root the phone.
Are you able boot into download mode?

Is this a possible solution?
I will get details later but off the top of my head Odin fails at pit mapping or something like that

Thanks for the help, ended up just taking it back to the store, making up some excuse and they swapped it out no questions asked. Got the new one rooted already and running Frosty's ROM

Because when I tried to root galaxys2 with samsung factory cable odin was fail and appear the symbol of soft brick. And I tried with other pc in my house with the same result. I decided change the usb cable to a generic and try for last time and finally I pass the odin flash. Maybe a damage cable maybe not. he dont have nothing loose in this position. Sorry for my bad english and I happy for you for your new device
soft brick
can someone help me out i think i soft brick my note. the phone just stays in the same screen with the galaxy note 2 logo or whatever. i could get into recovery and get into odin mode. i have a rom in my external sd but its not letting my install it from there and when i try to mount in recovery it doesnt let me. please if anyone could help.
When I try to upgrade and initialization through kies it shows up please check the serial number and enter it again,but the serial number is right.
And also when i try to upgrade it while phone is connected ,it downloads the firmware and installation starts but the phone didnt goes to download mode while installing after 100% of installation it comes with an error that it doesn't recognize the phone.
There are some screenshots that i have taken it.

I gave up on Kies, biggest pile of **** I have EVER saw in my life. Thanks to the advice of some others I downloaded ODIN for PC and flashed the new firmware rather than using KIES. I will use Google for backing up the phone. One thing you can try is turn on USB Debugging in the Devoloper Options in the Settings menu

Yeah your pretty safe with ODIN as you are flashing official firmware. Custom ROMS can be a different story make sure you back up your contacts with Google or something just in case, turn USB Debugging on, install Samsung USB drivers and make sure your lead doesn't come unplugged from the computer halfway through the flash there are couple of good guides online, I'll link it for you when I get home from work

There may be but I just didn't want to waste any more time on it so I gave up on it! Check this screen shot for your
s note problem. I'm guessing this feature only works with the stock Samsung keyboard as I am using SwiftKey and don't have this option anymore.....unless there is something turned off in sk? Good luck

Hi guys!
So, my sister got a Galaxy Ace II yesterday with some ode stuff, then I decided to install Cyanomod 11, BUT more problems appered:
1 - My Windows 7 (64bits) doesn't recognize the drivers.. so it no even list the phone as conected. I tried using Kies to detect and a bunch of packages of drivers of this smartphone model, but till now haven't made any progress... what can I do?
2 - I reseted the phone to original especifications by his own menu and tried to acess its Download and Recovery mode by pressing the 3 buttons at the same time(Vol UP + Home + Power), but for my surprise it didn't boot like it should, jus initializing normaly...what can I do?
3 - I realized, when it booted, that the boot animation has been changed, samsung logo doesn't apper ever and including I found some stuff installed that doesn't seem to be something that generic stock roms have instaled; this made me think that the room installed is not its stock. If that's so, maybe the problems listed above are resolved, but still so I don't know what to do...
I want to install Cyanomod 11, but need the phone recognized for Windows, it rooted and in download mode, but haven't find a way to begin if my computer doesn't reconize it...
Any Help?

2. did you hold the buttons? another way is to use quick reboot from play store
3. cyanogenmod has its own bootanimation -.-

Yes, I hold the 3 buttons at once and waited to it boot, but it jus performed the normal boot, it didn't get into download or recovery mode... I tried many times, but it's always the same...
And I know that CM has it's own boot animation, I know it, but it's not it this time... it's another one... and for what I know, it's not the samsung original one...
Having Kies installed is counterproductive to installing flashing drivers (and if you sync contacts and calendars with Google I can't even think of why you need it :angel
Try unplugging the cable while entering recovery, the LPM mode (charging while "off") screws it up (but download mode should work!)
And by "no Samsung logo", you mean not even the firmware's "Samsung GALAXY ACE 2 GT-i8160"? Sounds like you got a fake then...
But if it boots, you should check the Settings/About menu and tell us the "build version", often that's enough to know what ROM is on it now

Ryccardo, I installed Kies in the hope of having the drivers easylier recognized... But that was not my luck...
About that trick could you be more especific? Do I put the phone off with the cable plugged to PC and when I press both 3 buttons I unplug it?
About the version it is :
DM_BASE_12A_W12.43|sc6820_modem|11-02-2012
And this means that??? It's not the original one, right?
Thanks for the help in advance!

Recovery mode is: with power off, hold up+home+power (if it's on, it will reset since you're holding down power... keep holding it) and download mode is the same with down+home+power...
But that version is VERY dubious, the standard Ace never had "SC6820" (maybe it's the L model?) and I don't even think it was out at the start of 2012...

Strange, afaik galaxy ace 2 is shipped with 2.3.6 android.
Did you succed booting in downlaod mode ( Vol down + home + power )
you have to flash Stock JB and we will see what is going on

When I Google it I noticed it too..
No, I still couldn't reboot it nor in download nor in recovery mode...
Even doing what Ryccardo said, it still boots normally..

So could you please post a photo of the sticker under the battery (preferably with the entire inside back of the phone showing)?

Sorry but I'm new here ant they made me wait 5 minutes to be able to post...
Enviado de meu XT925 usando Tapatalk
Ah, sorry, I remember how much the <10 post restrictions sucked
But back to your problem, this is not an Ace 2... I suspected it since you posted that version number:
Googling "sc6820_modem" has http://www.pandawillforum.com/archive/index.php?t-18643.html at the end of the 1st page
2nd post there mentions "Star I8160"
Googling "Star i8160" on images shows http://www.gldron.com/media/tmp/catalog/product/6/4/64cfade20f06e0e31ffd853fb1f8009a.jpg as 5th result... while searching the version number on images shows a lot of Samsung clones...
Unfortunately you have fake galaxy ace 2 (
You cant intall any rom on that device

By this you both mean I don't have much to do to change the rom?

You surely can't use roms from these forums... There may be other roms for your device but you'll have to find out what it actually is first, which can be somewhat difficult...
Poor sister of mine.. She won't be happy in knowing this...
Anyway I wanna thank you Ryccardo and Rox!
You both Saved me a bunch of tie searching a solution that doesn't existed...
Thanks guys!

Hello
as the title says i have this problem ...i cant get pass this message in order to make a factory reset.I searched through the web and couldnt find any solution.Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Do a factory reset using the hardware buttons
http://solverbase.com/w/LG_G3:_Hard_Reset_(Factory_Reset)
Or use the lg PC suite to do a software repair if you want to save your data.
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the answer.I already did the first option like 3 times and unfortunately nothing happened.Now i ll with the PC suite but i think i have no hope
Am I the first one that actually messed up this phone like this?..because i cant see another thread with the same problem....
Don't give up hope. If the pc suite does not work follow this guide to flash a new firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089

Hey, I have this problem too, did you just restore software errors while still rooted? because when I do it, it just says there is nothing wrong with it
I'm not a robot
you r not the first one my friend, i just had the same problem then i did factory reset using TWRP, and it worked from the 1st reset
Hi, wondering if anyone can help me or advise. My sis has a s4 mini and she tried to do a software update but didn't check her battery level and switched off whilst updating.
Now it won't turn on and I can't get into recovery to put another rom on. I tried to put on recovery via odin but it won't let me, I think I needed to have USB debugging on which I can't do now.
I can access download mode and whilst odin recognises the phone it just hangs after pressing start. On the phone it says write protection on or something like that.
Is it possible to fix this phone or am I out of luck.
