Hello XDA, today I decided to make my mother's tablet a bit less clunky by adding some custom ROM. Sadly I've tried 4 custom ROMS for the 4.4.2(Sweet Dreams 3.1, sweet dreams 2, some stock rom, and another stock rom) all of them did the exact same thing on the tablet, flashing goes well, I wipe everything before starting the flash. When I turn it on, I get a black screen, with backlight, the samsung logo sound(while the screen is still black), and goes into the OS, I can hear when I use tab back or the home button, but still the screen is black, then I googled a bit and it was something "common" so there is a step to it to display(hold vol -, power, and home), but mine only displays a safe mode and I can't get anything from that just a black screen with the tools bar and without keyboard. So is there any chance for this device to get the upgrade to kitkat, it's running 4.1.2 and I just really want it to feel less ****ty for my mom. Thanks!

That's because you flashed a custom rom which has to be flashed on kitkat bootloader. The tab has already got kitkat (android 4.4.2) Buddy ..just flash the stock firmware..the tab will boot properly
I am gonna start working on a custom rom for t211 from today. Rom will be available soon

Oh I feel so noob about this. The tablet is running 4.1.2 right now because it has never been update, I already installed TWRP on it, what's the next step? Should I update it through samsung official methods and after that I can install the custom roms?

You cannot update your tab using Samsung official method because you just flashed a recovery. In other words you have done a system modification. So all you have to do is download 4.4.2 Samsung official firmware and flash it using odin

Use this tool to download the firmware. In model type SM-T211 and region as XSG or INU and then tick the auto check box ...after that on your side you will see a download button. Hit that :good:
Now you have your firmware. Download Samsung USB drivers from Google and install . later download Odin 3.07 ,boot your tab in download mode and flash .

Oh thanks. I will my mother's tab once I get home, I already had odin because I updated my S4 mini too, I didn't have to do the part of updating the bootloader I think. Thanks again!

I have searched these forums and everywhere else I can find mentioning this problem online, but nothing has worked yet. I'm hoping someone here may be able to point me in the right direction.
I rooted my AT&T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-I317 a couple weeks ago and was messing around and stupidly tried upgrading to 4.3, and now I can't boot and can't enter recovery mode. NOTE: Download mode works just fine, either by manually holding Volume Down/Home/Power or by using a USB Jig, I just can't enter recovery mode by holding Volume Up/Home/Power
I am able to flash just fine with Odin (I have tried version 3.07 and 3.09), it says Pass every time but the darn phone still won't boot and won't let me into recovery mode so that I may clear the cache and get it to boot.
I have tried flashing back to the factory firmware, to which Odin says Pass but still no go on the boot.
I have also tried setting up an ADB connection in Windows 7 (so that I may get the phone into recovery mode without hardware buttons), but since my computer will only recognize the phone when it's in download mode (since I can't boot the phone so Windows 7 will see it like it normally would) ADB won't work.
I'm at my wits end here, does anyone have any clue how I may fix this problem? What's really frustrating is I just bought a Galaxy Gear Watch and about a week later messed up my phone
Thanks, and I appreciate any help you can give me.
EDIT: Forgot to mention something. When I turn the power to the phone on and don't enter download mode, it stays on the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen, and that's all that happens.
Also, this is exactly what my Download screen info says:
FACTORY MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I317
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes(6 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
RP SWREV: A2
Got the phone to finally boot up
I finally got my phone to at least boot up. Although, I still can't get into recovery mode.
I followed this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596256 and downloaded this file
It boots, and is currently 4.1.2, however when I try to get to recovery mode, the graphics flicker and the screen goes blank for a couple mins then reboots to the OS.

I had a similar issue moving from Jedi to Jedi Master X.
I had to use an older Odin 2.85 to install a CWM recovery(I prefer TWRP UI)
Once I had the CWM I could install Jedi Master X2 and I had to wait about 30 mins for it to get through boot.
I thought I had a good soft brick but eventually I found a combiination of Odin, recovery and Rom to get it to work.
Good Luck
Recovery screen is now up!
After I was able to boot, I tried flashing again to stock firmware, and this time the recovery menu works just fine! I'm almost back to where I need to be. After resetting to factory defaults, I'm hoping I can do an OTA update to 4.3 so my Galaxy Gear will work again.

Update to 4.3 official will fail if you have a custom recovery...
I suggest using the leaked 4.3 we have...
It will give you all of the gear functions....and allow you to keep root and dump the bloat that you don't want...
A best case situation ....IMHO....g

Glad you were able to figure it out... I just had a similar problem because TWRP froze up on me halfway through flashing a ROM. Had to ODIN CWMR back on and flash a ROM... lesson learned... always keep a ROM on your SD card in case your phone soft bricks - if you can get into download mode at least you will be able to work around it!!
I'll give that a try

Instead of the leaked you can use the official without locking yourself into the 4.3 bootloader

Ok guys, I was an idiot and got a little greedy and opened a thread saying update your s4 mini LTE to an OFFICIAL 4.4.2 kitkat. Without even checking the comments I just downloaded and followed the instructions. It was a 4.2.2 "upgrade" and it didn't work.. Used Odin 3.09. and it showed the error "FAIL! (Ext4)"
Now my phone is stuck in download mode with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." Well, that would all be nice if I could. Kies doesn't let me connect my phone to it, when I try Emergency recovery it doesn't show it in the list of devices, initialisation is not available for GT-19195 (??) (it's the option where i type in my phone model and serial number).
I can't put the phone itself into recovery mode, pressing volume up, home and power buttons, so that option is also out.
I have no idea what else to do right now, and I would appriciate any help you guys can provide.
What do I do to get my phone working again?!
Thanks in advance.

So you can get to download mode but odin fails?
What are you trying to flash?
You can also flash a full samsung firmware via odin (you can find it at sammobile.com)
If this doesn't work you can try to flash cwm recovery
I've had this issue myself before and found flashing a cwm recovery via Odin then adb sideload either a custom or stock rom generally fixes the issue.
Hope all work's out for you

I have managed to find a 4.2.2 stock ROM from ny region, it's for the Telenor network, I am not on it but my carrier is another, although that does not seem to be a problem. Flashed it through Odin, v3.09, and I'm happy to say I'm writing this from my phone!
To answer your question, yes, the only thing i was able to start download mode on my phone, just turning it on, it went straight to that. Also, I had to wipe cache from recovery to stop it from looping the samsung logo and also had to do a factory reset & delete everything once i got past samsung logo loop. It's working as inteded now, and well, I guess a new fresh start is not that bad.
Thanks for your ideas guys.

Shouldn't be a problem if you use the arco recovery wipe cache, warranty bit kernel means h that you're using different kernel from the original that came with the phone, probably you have tripped Knox 0x1 voiding warranty, you could flash an kk kernel and will be fine

I've never had this sort of problem and I am no expert but this is what I would try. The good news is it should be recoverable, lets hope one of the experts sees this. You really need to give more info!
If in a boot loop you may be able to get into download mode by just pressing the vol down & home key (not power as you are already powered up). If this doesn't work try all other key combos as you need to get out of the current reboot mode into something else.
If that doesn't work or you are not in a bootloop then use ADB to see if device shows up, if it does, then "reboot bootloader"
If that doesn't work make or buy a jig, that will allow you to set download mode.
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.

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:

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.
So, I was enjoying my lovely Note II . It had been saying update suspended all day. I got home after work. let the update go and then it got stuck on the screen that says Samsung Galaxy Note II. I mean for freaking 3 hours.
Left battery out. did all that fun stuff. It would boot to download but not recovery.
I did an odin flash to stock firmware. Odin got to pass. all happy and hunky dory.
but still..... phone stays stuck at Samsung Galaxy Note II screen.
I know that this seems like it may have been covered in other threads, but I cant find any threads that say the flash didnt solve all problems
Please help. My cherub-like demeanor is slipping.

i have the same issue. i can get into download mode, i push twrp, cwm, stock and touch via odin and none boot up afterwards, it just stays on the black note 2 boot screen. does this just take hours and i'm not being patient enough?

Go into stock recovery, do a factory reset. Should snap it out of it.
That's the last step it says to do on the main page.

yes. and i've done that before and it worked. but this time, it doesn't get to the pulsing samsung logo, it stays on the Galaxy Note II logo with black background. and when i try to go to recovery mode, it also goes into Galaxy Note II logo and stays there.

Before you did all this what were you on before ??? Stock 4.3, 4.4.2 ? A Custom Rom?
Have you tried this part? This should fix it depending on your answer above
- Download from http://d-h.st/CDK
I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip
- Extract the I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip file to get to I317UCUBMK6-TZ.tar.md5
It has two files in the I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip. You should only need the I317UCUBMK6-TZ.tar.md5.
I kept both files in there, in rare case you will need to flash the param file.

Coolness. These phones are fricking tanks. REALLY REALLY hard to kill them.
i have same problem, but answer no work for me, please help me????
You mean your phone won't go into recovery? I find that you need to hold the volume + and home button while the Android guy is on the screen and the progress bars moves along the bottom of the screen.
thry this post the part you want to look at is in the 2nd post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618447. you can also look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
Hey folks,
Thanks for looking into this thread. I have a galaxy tab pro 8.4 wifi (t320). I had CM12 on it but my cousin accidentally factory reset everything and so when I try to press power+down it gives me a warning (image link: http://i.imgur.com/lo0Plgr.jpg) that says "Downloading a custom OS can cause critical problems etc. If you want to download a custom os press volume up to cancel press volume down. If I try to cancel, I'm basically stuck at the cm 12 logo where it just keeps on going round and round and....round.
Any idea on what to do? At this point I simply want to be up and running and don't care about root and so if I have to return to stock I have no problem.
Cheers!
Attach it to your computer and try adb.
Command adb reboot recovery.
Copy the cm12 rom you want to the devices and install it should most likely do the trick

I used to have TWRP but I don't think the recovery is there anymore. When I try to press power + volume down I just get the screen I linked to below, not twrp.
Press volume up and flash stock firmware (you can find it in youmobile) with Odin tool

Hi, thanks so much for your reply. I went to youmobile and it says that there is no firmware available for my version (8.4 wifi-t320) I did find it in sammobile though. Yet in it, it gives many different countries. I got my tab 8.4 as a gift and am not sure which country it's from. Is there any way of finding out? I do have my serial number for the tab pro. And if it isn't possible to find out can I just flash any country's firmware considering that it's a wifi only device? Will this have any negative ramifications?
Also, is there a update guide to flashing stock firmware via odin tool if you're not sure usb debugging is turned on? As I understand it, it has to be on but because my cousin factory reset my phone I have no way of booting into cm 12 and checking.
I apologize for my lack of knowledge. I'm very new to this. Again, thanks a lot!
Isn't the recovery combination POWER+VOLUP? Just get in there, wipe things clean and flash CM12.1 all over.
If that won't do, use Odin to flash any T320 firmware - region doesn't matter much. I usually choose the latest from one of the EU countries for less bloat.
