I have a galaxy s 2 tmobile version rooted and running beastmod 5.0
So I'm having a problem. I flashed the ics roms to my t989. I was running bm 5 before. I called the #2632* thingy to just get edge instead of 4g because it was killing my battery. I decided to go back to bm 5 cuz the ics ports based on the att leak were horrible. Usually on bm 5 I have GSM only selected for the network but it hasn't been able to connect. The only way I can connect is by using wcdma/gsm auto mode to connect to T-Mobile then I can select GSM only to just use GSM. If I restart with GSM only again it wont find signal unless wcdma/GSM is seleceted then I switch to GSM only. Idk what to do anymore GSM only used to work before I flashed ics and this is pissing me off help me anyone please! Its greatly appreciated.
Did you flash a gingerbread radio before going back to bm?
I did I found the t989 radio on xda I flashed it and it didn't work its the same problem.

Hit the darkside part of my siggy and look over the OP. Superwipe is a script by tdj recommended prior to any ROM flash.

Ok, you are going to need the drivers for your phone. http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
You need odin as well, download it. http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
If you already have drivers and odin move on to below
Go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and make an account. I use sammobile because it contains everything in one shot. No need to get radio and crap from other places. After you make an account go to firmware section and type t989 in the search box. download the t989uvkid or Kl1 ASSUMING YOU HAVE AMERICAN T989
After you have completed the download you are going to need to unzip it with 7zip to extract the tar.
Plug the USB cable into your computer, without plugging it into your phone.
Hold VOL UP + VOL DOWN while plugging in the USB cable to your phone. Stop holding buttons when the ''Warning'' appears.
Press Volume UP and open ODIN (Run as Admin on Vista and 7, just to be safe)
Click PDA and locate the MD5 file you extracted earlier.
WAIT FOR ODIN TO RECOGNIZE YOUR PHONE. THE COM PORT WILL TURN YELLOW AND HAVE A NUMBER
MAKE SURE NOTHING BUT AUTO REBOOT IS CHECKED!!!!!!!
Press 'Start' and be patient. It will take a few minutes because it is a large file.
phone will reboot automatically.
thank so much for the instructions however
this llink doesnt work for the DRIVERS doesnt work
and i had the superwipe already and thanks lol silly me.
If you go to Samsung website and download Kies, the drivers will automatically update.

Hello Good people of xda forum
please i have a very big problem at my hand involving my newly acquired galaxy note II, the international version and i was hoping that some of you could help me out here because this is driving me nuts.
My galaxy note II is 2 weeks old and i rooted it 5 days after i got it with Odin and everything seems to work smooth ever since.
My problem now started yesterday when i stupidly went to install the chainfire 3d plugin because i wanted to try my older games that worked better on my qualcomm desire HD that wouldn't work well on my note II and what happened next has left me with sorrows since yesterday evening.
My lovely Note won't boot up anymore. It always gets stuck on the samsung galaxy note II logo. I am on the stock samsung rom.
I have tried everything i could read online to get it working including entering clockworkmod recovery, wiping data, cache, daivik, factory reset, formating sd and external sd card and nothing seems to work.
I have even tried entering odin download mode and downloading a custom firmware to flash but it keeps saying ''downloading'' but never finishes.
I am helpless now and do not want the 619 EURO i paid for this phone to be a waste. I can't return it since it is already rooted and i cannot unroot it in it's current state.
Is there any way for me to copy over the stock rom zip file to the external sd and flash it from there? If yes, can anyone provide me with a stock rom zip file to flash as i cant seem to find it anywhere?
My galaxy note II is the international version, bought at Saturn electronics shop, germany.
I will also admit that i am not so good with the technical stuff so a little explanation could help.
Thanks all.
There are stock roms in the note 2 forum here on XDA. You can boot into CWM recovery and mount your SD card to be able to use on your laptop/PC. If that fails, you can get the Android SDK specifically adb and push it to your internal SD.
I've done the same on my old Galaxy S2, so don't worry it's recoverable! I suggest getting a stock rom and flash via Odin, failing that use the method I mentioned above.
I apologise if I'm unclear, I'm exhausted tonight!

Best thing to try in ur case is make a full wipe and factory reset from recovery then to flash stock rom using odin then to make a wipe again if any problems,this should solve ur problem. Good luck.

Thank you both a lot. I am trying your solutions now. I will post back if it worked.
You both are life savers. My phone is back up and running.
Can't thank you all enough.
Thanks.
Any luck with your Note II ?
You can also download a custom rom , then put it in an external card
Slot it in the phone , do full wipe and flash .

Hello, sorry for late reply. Here is the link you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
Search for your country's version of the stock rom and download it.
Download also the odin files included in that first post.
Once you have the stock rom for your country and odin files downloaded, unrar them if they are zipped and place their folders on the desktop or somewhere else you can
easily find them.
Now open odin from the folder you unrared and turn off your phone (your phone shouldn't be connected to the computer at this point).
Once your phone is off. Press and hold simultaneously the volume down button, home key button and the power button. Keep holding them until you
see the samsung logo. Then let go of the buttons and your phone would enter downloading mode.
Now plug in your phone via usb to your computer and a blue light would show on odin with COM written in it.
Now check the box next to PDA and point odin to the tar file contained in the downloaded rom folder you placed on your desktop and hit start on odin.
A progress bar would now show on your phone indicating that odin is flashing your phone with the stock rom.
Once it's finished successfully, it will show on odin "passed" in a green light and your phone should reboot and voila, your phone is now clean as new.
From there, I believe you continue on your own. Now disconnect your pbone and enjoy.
There are also pictures on the link I posted that would explain the process better.
If you any further questions, just ask.
Good luck.

What do you do if you can't get your computer to recognize your phone plugged in the USB? I tried to delete the Samsung Drivers and reinstall but it didn't work. I can get my phone to Odin mode but can not get it to flash.

Make sure you've installed Samsung usb drivers.
Edit: should have read your entire post *sorry* Make sure there are no other usb related proggies running; they might interfere with your sammie usb drivers..

I just got the Galaxy note 2 L900. It is rooted and modified for international using. It works perfect and I was about to explore the Jelly bean 4.2.2 several times but later the battery felt out (phone has no back cover). I inserted the battery back and booted but it only started then stopped at xiaomi.com logo and the phone was frozen as brick with no control at all.
So how could I recover the custom ROM. I have never done this and I really need help. Thank you you all.
Are you able to get the device into Download mode? When turning the device on hold the power button, vol down, and the home button and the device should enter download mode.

Thank you. I did this before I posted this matter but the question is which files I need to download and where I can find these files? Is is in the phone already? as I said I have never done this before.
If you can get into Download mode you can ODIN any ROM you would like to the device and fix the not booting problem. You can re-flash the ROM you were using if you choose. You would need to find an ODIN tar file to use this option to get your device working again.

Thanks again for your reply. It must be easier for me if I do the rooting or flashing of this phone from the beginning. I would read and following instruction step by step but right now it likes I am right in the middle of the jungle and really don't know where I should start. I looked for "ODIN tar file" and one link lead me to download the "odin multi downloader v3 95 exe.rar" but I found in here many files to download and one of these files is "Root mobile ODIN Pro v3 65 full" is the only file close to what I am looking for but I am not sure this is the file I need. I really needed help on this matter. You are the only one who replied my question and I believe that you can help. I wonder that you could text and help me through this matter. I would appreciate this. Thank you again

Send me the service provider you use and I will see if I can find an ODIN flashable ROM for your device. I can link you to the download and we can go from there. The first part though is finding a flashable image.

I have no idea. This phone has bad ESN and was modified for international using so it has a SIM card port now for GSM network (that the seller told me). I just have this phone in 2 day only and as I said I just played with in about 1 hours to see what options the phone could provide before the battery felt out issue. I not sure it can be use with ATT or Tmobile when it has bad ESN. I didn't tried it. I bought it on ebay for my cousin in Vietnam (price cheaper to Good ESN). So I guess it must be best for an ODIN flashable ROM for gsm network. Thank you.
The phone might not have a bad ESN it just might not be recognizing a network due to an invalid SIM or no SIM at all. The phone might work and find a network if a good SIM is put into the device. The first thing I would do though is find a stock image that is for a GSM phone. You can attempt to find out what service provider your cousin is going to use but to be honest it really does not matter with a GSM carrier and a phone that does not have SIM card restrictions which I am sure this one does not. You can look for a flashable image for Docomo, AT&T, or some other GSM provider. That will at least get you into the device so you can check out the options. You could always contact the person you got the device from and see what ROM they had installed and go back with that. Just a few suggestions.

So why we don't try Tmobile (I am using Ptel and Ptel base on Tmobile). IF it works on Tmobile then it can be unlocked later. (but I am sure the seller he told this phone has bad ESN)
Thank you.
From what I have found T-Mobile did not put out the Galaxy Nexus device. There is an option that you can try though. You can use the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to flash stock images through ODIN and root any build you choose to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
Check out this thread for the download. The toolkit provides step by step instructions when you are performing the various actions. You will need to manually boot into download mode like you did before in order to use the ODIN feature in the toolkit. Make sure you select a stock/factory image for a GSM device.

Wow. It seems too complicated. I downloaded and installed the Galaxy Nexus toolkit with GSM model 4.2.2 JDQ39 Build
in the menu it says: install/uninstall device driver on your PC [unplug device first] and many other instructions after that
But my question is where I should start from which application? I open the Galaxy Nexus toolkit folder and there are many applications in there. Should I use the Odin3_v3.07 to begin?
Do you know any "step by step instruction from the beginning"? I don't even know how to use the Odin3_v3.07 yet.
No there should be something in the ToolKit forlder named ToolKit.exe and that is what you want to open. All commands are run through the toolkit and when running it will look like a command prompt window with number options that you will type in. Commands will be displayed on the screen and you just type in the corresponding number to select options. The on screen instructions will tell you what to do at each step.

I did come to the prompt window and enter the option 1 : Install/Uninstall Device Driver on your PC (checked and saw driver on toolkit). Then reboot the phone (I guess in fastboot mode but holding vol down power and home keys) but I cannot get the serial number as show in the instruction and the phone show no activity at all. I checked toolkit and did see the USB connected Did I do something wrong?
There is a note in the command prompt window: make sure your device is booted fully into android. (how I am sure the phone is fully boot into android)
Please advice. Thank you
All the options that are listed that say booted into Android your not going to be able to use. You should be able to use any option that says via ODIN in the name of the option. When the toolkit attempts to reboot the phone and wait for fastboot you should be good if you are already in Download mode. You might have the option to flash a stock ROM via ODIN. If so that will at least get you into the phone and you can use other options in the toolkit from that point.

I tried most of the options but I could not get any control of phone in download mode. EX: I click on option 11: boot or flash .img file to device then it prompted "file not found." Other options I only message "waiting for the device" but there was nothing happen then.
I researched for the flashing the phone from beginning again but it seems nothing works for the bricked phone.

Pull the battery, wait 10 seconds. Put battery back in and press Vol. Down, Home (Middle button) and Power until you see a warning come on the screen. Press Up and you should see a picture of an Android with "Downloading" and "Odin Mode" in the upper left corner.
Once here try flashing via Odin again. If it's really a Sprint Note 2 I still suggest the MC2 Unrooted Restore to give yourself a clean slate.

OK Here are what I did:
open toolkit at command window with many options and I have chosen options:

*** 25 for USA GSM model adroid 4.2.2
and even tried ***45 CDMA LTE model adroid 4.2.2 (when I tried I did notice some downloaded files on command window and this is the only activity I have notice in entire procedure but after file is downloaded it returned to main menu and nothing happened then.
When I choose option 17 or 25 or 45 I got into the same menu with many of fastboot , ADB mode... options. As I said I tried most of these but nothing works.
you said try flashing via Odin again. I tried to locate the MC2 Unrooted Restore but could not find it. Please advice. Thanks

Let's skip the toolbox for a moment.
1) Download this file:
http://www.rwilco12.com/Files/Devic...rooted/SPH-L900_MC2_1090526_Stock_Restore.exe
2) Open it. It will unpack another EXE in Odin-OC.
3) Set phone into Odin mode as previously posted.
4) Connect USB cable to PC, open EXE in Odin-OC folder.
Once shows connected, click Start.
That should get you going. If you still have problems let me know.

It works perfect now but this phone was modified to use with GSM carriers (it got sim card lot) so I guess I will have to flash it. What should I do next. I prefer to AT&T or Tmobile.
Hi,
I have been a regular visitor of this website and have gained quite a good amount of knowledge through this forum.
I have been with android for the past 2 years and I have loved the android experience.
2 days ago, I read that there was a feature in android whereas the free apps access the internet frequently and use up precious battery power also the paid apps access the google play store in order to verify licenses. Both these kind of apps wakes up itself regularly and this eats up huge amount of battery.
To counter this I was searching for solutions through this website and found that there was an app which could be downloaded and which can handle such kind of scenario. Lucky Patcher. I didn't read the whole thread but I just went ahead and downloaded that app and my phone stopped working minutes after its installation. Upon reading the whole thread I found out that the android phone needs to be rooted in order for that app to work. BIG MISTAKE!
Now my phone is dead. I can start it but it gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo and never goes ahead.
I took the help of this forum to flash a stock ROM of S3 onto my fone using Odin 3.07 and a stock rom downloaded from samsung dash updates dot com.
This is the name of the folder that was downloaded from the website
"Samsung-Updates.com-SGH-T999V_GLW_1_20120818102113_dgbyab64vd"
I tried flashing it using Odin following the procedure but there was nothing happening on the software or on the phone. I kept the phone attached while Odin was "Initialising" for around 4-5 hours. I slept along that time, and when I woke up, it was still there. I was supposed to get "PASS!" on Odin but I didn't get that. I downloaded the previous versions of the stock ROM and tried that but all in vain.
Phone model: SGH-T999V (Wind Mobile, Canada)
Now I can't find a solution to this problem and this is my last resort. By the weekend I will go to one of those mobile stores which I haven't seen in ages, but will have to go there as I am unable to revive back my fone. And I utterly miss using it.
If there is anything any of you guys can help me with, I will be more than happy to reply to any further information you need.
Thank you all for reading, and thanks a million for even thinking of helping me.
God Bless you all.

I can't get in recovery mode (Home+volumeUP+Power). it vibrates once but the screen remains blank.
I can get into downloading mode (Home+volumeDown+Power). which gives me two options, one to continue and the other to cancel.
(May be this helps to determine whether my phone has been bricked or not!)
Using ODIN, the following information is given and is stuck at this only...
"<OSM> KIES_HOME_T999VVLDLL1_T999VYVLDLL1_CL616748_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation.."
Usually, if you're stuck.during boot you just need to factory reset. Are you sure you're trying the right way to boot recovery? Hold volume up, home and power, when it vibrates, release power but continue holding volume up and home. Some blue text should flash at the top of the screen (you can let go of all buttons now) and it should boot recovery.
No idea why Odin isn't working. Do you have kies installed? If so, get rid of it, reboot and try again.
You could try flashing CWM or TWRP (see my Sig). Then boot recovery and factory reset or flash a Rom.

Sounds like the drivers are missing. Or you need to run ODIN as administrator
I'm with @KAsp3rd, the computer is not seeing the phone, reinstall the USB drivers try again.
Here is a guide I made:
1. Download and install USB Drivers from here: Thanks to @DocHoliday77 for hosting
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=1368
2. Download and extract ODIN 3.07 from here: Thanks to @DocHoliday77 for hosting
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=1369
3. Download Stock ROM image (.tar file) from here: Thanks to @DocHoliday77 for hosting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687
4. Save all open files and reboot computer
5. Boot phone into Download mode (also called ODIN mode) by shutting down the phone and holding Volume Down & Home then pressing Power until it vibrates, still holding Volume Down & Home buttons, until the "Yellow Triangle" screen shows up.
6. Plug phone into computer and open ODIN 3.07 and make sure that only "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are checked.
7. Click on the "PDA" button (right side about half-way down), browse for ROM .tar file, click "Open" button.
8. Click "Start" button and watch to "Reset" or "Fail" to show in the 1st square (upper left side),
9. Phone will reboot
10. Leave phone alone for 10mins+ to let all of the first time boot stuff complete.
Good luck with it.

yes, I was doing the right way with the boot recovery. There was a blue text when the SAMSUNG logo flashed, but nothing after that. I let go off the power button while holding the power up and home buttons, but nothing went ahead.
I dont have kies installed. My laptop has a fresh win 7 ultimate installation. I got the usb drivers for samung already installed, it detects the phone everytime on one of the COM ports.
I'll go through the flashing CWM and TWRP. you meant your signature, right?
sorry for being such a newbie..

TI reinstalled the drivers using the Samsung flashing kit that was available here on xda developers.
I am not sure if ODIN is run as admin. I guess I need to try that one tonight. In class right now, too anxious to study..
wil post up the results as soon as i reach back home..

Yes, in my signature. But the others may still be correct. When you connect and open Odin does it show the port number in the top left area? If not then it's probably a driver issue, even if they're installed. Happens a lot believe it or not. Also try other usb ports on the computer.
If you can flash recovery in Odin though, this is all irrelevant of course! Either way let us know what happens.

Thnaks for this detailed list.
but i know this drill, the only problem being that the phone is not going anywhere after the step where the ODIN has already flashed the file on the phone.
It gets stuck while "Initializing.." I have posted that as an update on my Post.
As KAsp3rd said that I must try running it as an administrator, I might do it tonight and will let you all know what it gave me..
Thanks for all the help..
I think we posted at the same time so did you see my post? Do you remember if Odin had the port number at the top left? In the Odin output it said ID:0, so it may not be seeing the phone.

@DocHoliday77
Yes, it shows the COM port on the top left corner of the ODIN.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the driveres several times, but with no effect.. I am thinking the run as administrator is the one thing I havent thought of or tried or seen anywhere on the forum.
I will post the result of that as well by tonight.
And thanks for hosting so many files online. I downloaded the one that was needed for the Stock Firmware.
Ok, and in case you don't know, uninstalling the driver software isn't enough on its own. Go into device manager, right click and either update drivers, or uninstall, then install the new driver package.

Windows, always reboot after uninstalling any drivers.
@DocHoliday77
I tried that thing again. Reinstalled the drivers after uninstalling and rebooting. there is still no response.
I gave it to one of my friends, he tried putting in the recovery file and now the screen says "Installation of the software has been interrupted, please restart to begin"
I'll post the screenshot in the morning now.
Also, @KAsp3rd : I tried running Odin as administrator, but the same thing happened. It used to get stuck at "Initialization"
Any more advices ?

Is it the phone that says installation interrupted? When he tried flashing the recovery did he use odin? Did it seem to flash properly?
Something else I don't thonk hss been mentioned is to try a different usb cable. Preferably one thst came with the phone, or another device. (Some cables sold for recharging are not capable of data transfer on these devices).
Also, try all ports on the computer, and unplug all unnecessary peripherals.
If something happened and you got a bad flash, it could be bricked. Can't remember if you tried KAsp3rd's unbrick method already.
Another thing you can try to get recovery installed is to adb shell into the device and using the dd command, dump recovery to the phone. Youll have to have the android sdk installed to do this though.
Its hard to say what's really needed at this point though. Usually if you can get download mode, you can Odin the stock firmware. Most Odin problems are due to driver and cable issues. (Is Windows fully updated?)
Even though you can get download mode, the debrick method may still help, but I'm just not sure. Maybe I'm missing something.....

I have the original cable with me, the one that came with the s3.
he tried using ODIN, but thats as far as I know. He said something about using Kies to flash the rom as well. not sure what.
No, I didn't try KAsp3rd's unbrick method. Could you please guide me where could I find that?
Also, everything you said after this unbrick method simply doesn't make any sense to me. May be some guided instructions would be helpful.
And yes, the windows is fully updated, no issue on that.
Where can I find the unbrick method?
If you want to just search for android sdk. It'll find Google's page for it and instructions. Should also find some good guides on installing and using. All I'd 've doing is searching for then repeating it back to you, so it'll be easier for both of us if you just go to the source. I think it's developer.Google com or something similar.
And she'll basically connects to your phone and allows you to run commands as if you were using the terminal emulator.
The debrick thread is stickies in development.

what is the official stock firmware can i download directly? and what are name of the firmware and how long the procedure to flash that?
Firmware thread stickies in development section. Link is also in my Sig. Everything you need to know and download to get started is in that thread.

If you have an SM-N900T, you don't have reactivation lock as far as I know. I couldnt find the option in mine, so I went ahead without it. I think its in the International version.
i have downloaded odin 3.7 and CF-Auto-Root-hltetmo-hltetmo-smn900t.tar.md5 file fofor rooting. the first time tt said pass but on my phonne on the top I had 3 messages in different colors saying something about warranty, and a couple other things. It had the not 3 logo on the phone but it never rebooted like its supposed to. I tried restarting it but it went back to the same thing. if some one who knows how to so this could you please lead me to the correct files i need to root this thing. I have never had so much problems rooting a phone in my life. I am still on version 4.3 and I would really appreciate some help. Thanks

Try Odin flashing the CF-AutoRoot TAR file again, it should work fine,
and welcome to the very exclusive KNOX club. LOL
After flashing with odin you need to flash custom recovery like twrp or cwm.
Good luck!
