I was in recovery because I was going to flash a new rom and I accidentally hit reboot instead of back after wiping my old rom and now my note 2 won't start up. What the f**k do I do now. I really need to get back to stock rom and don't know what to do. HELP ME PLEASE.

Can you still get into recovery?
If so, just flash the stock rom.
Otherwise, if you mean that your note 2 won't start up at all, try getting into download mode.
If you can access download mode, use odin to get back to stock.
As long as you can get into download mode, there is no reason to panic

So it is possible to get into download mode?
I couldn't locate a stock rom that could be used with odin
As long as you can access the download mode you are fine now.
I would wait around a bit to allow some time for developers to come by this post to give you further assistance
As far as I know, you need a .tar file to use with odin.
Since I could not locate the tar file, I will have to let you get advice from someone else.
My apologies

Doesn't seem fine ATM. But I guess we'll see.

One advice that I will give you is to READ more.
I can't say that I know much, but the fact that you do not even know how to access download mode tells me that you need to learn heck of a lot more.
Being able to access download mode indicates that your phone isn't 'bricked.'
Download mode is what Samsung uses originally to install the roms through odin.
Hence, I can't guarantee your data, but your phone will be functional again - once your rescue arrives.
READ more. Reading more won't hurt a bit - especially when you are faced with the situation that you are in

Use heimdall. And i'm pretty sure sammobile has all available stock roms for the Note2

Ah, I just located it.
Android_Noob_2k12 - here's my solution.
As I am not familiar with mac, find a pc, download PDA from sammobile, use odin to push it while in download mode.

It's not that I didn't know how to get to download made, it's that I didn't know there was such thing as download mode. When I rooted my phone I did it all on my phone through equinox abuse apk and goo manager so I wouldn't have to deal with crap like download mode and Odin and all of that since I can't even use Odin with a Mac. And believe me when I say that I have been reading. I have not left my computer since this happened.

Okay I am going to use heimdall as it works for Mac. I will try to get the stock AT&T rom from sammobile again but I don't see why it will work this time considering it didn't work last time. What do I use to clean up any remaining root software after I get the stock rom flashed? And how to I return it to a un-modified state so I can return to att and get a new one that has a working SIM card reader.

First I'll assume you're on att. You can get the stock unrooted att rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076745
Second, assuming heimdall works like odin does, youll flash the md5 file you downloaded from the above link and this will wipe your phone. No root, no customization, no data, nothing.

Finally, once you have a stock phone again, if you have the modified count > 0 in the download screen, youll have to follow these directions to clear count: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992303
Edit: last things. You'll have to be able to connect to your phone through your mac using the necessary usb drivers. You may be able to find a pc at a library or coffee shop, etc... this will teach you to be a mac fanboi good luck

I did the same thing last week. Easy fix. Power off first, remove battery if you have to
1. boot into recovery (vol up+home+power)
2. select mounts and storage
3. select mount usb storage
4. copy your rom onto the sdcard in one of the folders
5. unmount usb
6. select install zip from sdcard
7. select choose zip from external sdcard
8. go to folder you copied rom and install
9. reboot

Stuck in recovery loop; Tried everything, nothing works

My friend from Korea bought a kfhd 8.9 here in the US and rooted it, but an OTA installed and bricked it. It keeps booting to the stock recovery. I tried getting fastboot to work, but the computer won't detect it, as well as the unbrick utility. Anything I can do?
It keeps booting to this

What attempts did you make to access fastboot?

Powering off, running cmd and typing fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product, plugging it in. It doesn't detect my device.
I noticed that when I plug it in, Windows makes the beeping sound that tells you something is connected, and something briefly shows up in the hardware and devices section, but then disappears.

Nothing shows up in the device manager when plugged in as well. And I did install the drivers.

You never know with Windows...Have you tried SoupKit?

I would try to remove all the drivers you have now and install the non signed drivers from the first aid perferd drivers and that should go without any problems once that is done you should have a working drivers. Depending if you have windows 7 or 8 on how to disable driver signature.

Alrighty, thanks guys. I give it a shot.

I tried again on a different computer, and followed the instructions for KF First Aide package up until I had to plug it in. A driver installation window popped up and driver not found I can't go beyond that. I pressed 12 to install the Amazon ADB driver.

I think the step your missing is to disable driver signature enforcement Search in google for disable driver signature enforcement Windows (then whatever version you have) and should find a way to do it, then connect kindle to the computer remove any drivers you see in device manager (and click delete driver if it gives you a check box) Then try the same thing and it should work!

I gave it a shot, but nothing is being picked up. Note that I can't even fully boot up the Kindle. It always goes straight to the stock recovery. Would an OTA disable ADB in the kindle?
UPDATE: Wow... I hit 9 to check fastboot status and it just happened to work, haha. Thanks a lot for your help!

Hm, I actually tried to do a complete restore through fastboot, since it's the only thing working, but when it finishes and the kindle reboots, it still goes back to the stock recovery screen. I can't run the unbrick utility or use anything that requires ADB, since it's not being detected through that ><; damn it. I thought I was on to something.

Ok thanks! I want to make a script to fix the red screen problem! I had it once but I forgot how I fixed it lol and I dont want to get it again to try to learn again how to fix

Pretty much all I did was get into fastboot via cmd, and flashed boot, system, and recovery individually; they were for 8.1.4. I was at work when I did it, so I can't remember where I got the files, but you get the idea.
However, I had to type: flashboot -i 0x1949 flash (whatever here) (dragged the file here)
Because putting the file in the same folder as my fastboot didn't work.
After that I just rebooted and it worked.

[Q] Recovery Help !!

Hi All,
I've been trying to fix and upgrade error I got since two weeks ago. I found in this forum some related issue that I was trying but without luck.
I proceed to explain what I did to know if someone with more knowledge than me could kindly help, I really appreciate it.
[Device Information]
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (Wifi)
SM-T210
UK version
[Issue Description]
I was trying to root the device, I was searching for different approach to do it and the I select one to proceed, but it was so late and I was too tired that I forgot to enable debug mode, so I tried to update the tablet with a rooted firmware version. The process didn't work at all, but the tablet now is completely gone.
Actually, the tablet display the following information:
##########################################################################
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-T210
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
HW REV: 0x5
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

[Steps done]
1. I download a couple of official firmwares but ODIN is always getting error trying to write into the Complete(Write) operation failed after NAND write operation at the beginning.
2. I've tried with ODIN v3.09 v3.07 v3.06 v3.04 v1.85 and v1.83.
3. If I try to connect to Kies, Kies try to connect to the device but enter in a loop trying to connect. I'm using Kies on WinXP, Win7 and MacOS. In all of them I got the same behavior (loop connection). I'm using the last Kies Version. Also I install serveral times the Samsung drivers. So, it's impossible to connect to Kies.
4. I'm searching for a official firmware and how to configure properly the ODIN but all the official firmware are stored on hotfile but now is not available anymore.
Could anyone of you help me to find a way to recover the tablet, it's the second week and I'm still in the same situation.
Thank you so much in advance.
Regards,
Nano.

Can you boot into download mode? Hold Power, Volume Down, and Home button for 10-15 seconds until you see a warning about Download mode; then hit Volume Up to enter Download mode.

You could try a jig.

I didn't know about jig, I'll wait to know if it works with odin and if there is no any progress I'll buy the jig usb.
Thanks so much.

You should still get a jig anyhow, as they are only about £3.

I have the same problem, please update if you have found the solution.

1st remove your external SD card....then do this
Boot to DL mode
Flash a CWM Recovery using Odin
Boot to Recovery
Format Every Single folder....an error will be found eg. Not found NVM just ignore it
Wipe Data..Cache and Delvik
Turn off device and go to DL mode
Flash back stock firmware using Odin. The above idea will wipe out every junk in the partitions for a fresh firmware to be pre-loaded.

Thanks but I cannot get into DL mode any key combination would get back into the Firmware issue screen and even when Odin mode is supposedly on according to the screen, Odin would not get pass the Setup Connection stage.
Sent from my XT1058 using XDA Free mobile app

From here forget about DL mode...with Odin follow the steps above..it should flash the CWM

if you know which block or patition your recovery lives in and you are rooted
you can use dd command. place recovery.img in /sdcard,
in terminal
cd /sdcard
then
dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p#
# is the mmcblk where your recovery.img needs to be flashed. don't screw it up ! research!

This is what i would do....looks like your cable works, looks like you know how to get into Download and Recovery Mode. You have to get it to be detected, if it boots into Download mode it should work. Try re-installing the drivers.

This is what i would do....looks like your cable works, looks like you know how to get into Download and Recovery Mode. You have to get it to be detected, if it boots into Download mode it should work. Try re-installing the drivers.

with the phone off (completely), hold volume button (up i believe), and plug usb into computer. This should bring up download mode. If volume up doesnt work, try volume down. If you get just to the dots, then your download mode is broken.

was just about to start a new thread but didn't want to get into trouble..anyway I am in need of some assistance please.my ls980 has been bricked for some time now been searching all over the internet for a solution to be stuck back at square one.found this video on youtube which is pretty much exactly what my phone is doing.I have used lg flash tool to revert to stock and still nothing I lost root doing that but last night,I managed to regain root access I have no idea how but it happened when i clicked ioroot batch file i went into download mode and it stated bottom left ROOTED in red so i managed that but that is it still doing what is being shown in the video its on youtube

Long story. I downloaded the Nexus rootkit and unlocked my bootloader in an attempt to root my device. I installed TWRP and erased all my device information without making a backup. During intallation something happened with the toolkit(I believe the program froze or I just got too impatient, so I disconnected the USB). Mind you at this point I had not installed any third party roms yet resides TWRP which I don't even know if it installed completely because after I disconnected the screen turned into bright static.
So after mindlessly disconnecting my phone the entire screen went blank or was static. I could not see anything, so I sent it to LG for repair. They fixed the screen, but the phone is still without an operating system because I wiped it when I had TWRP and I now see this after it loads https://goo.gl/photos/pNZz2XgpQ2oA3SMN6 I don't know what else they did over there because I no longer have TWRP. I also have a locked bootloader now. I attached some screen shots of what options I get when I turn on the phone and the other options I see. which include the bootloader and recovery screen.

I have tried using the rootkit to install stock rom, but that requires an unlocked bootloader which I don't have. I also tried fastboot oem unlock, but it says failed. Also, I have tried installing the right drivers... It's hard to tell whether or not I have the correct drivers. Under device manager. I am seeing; Android Device--- LG Android Interface. I don't think these drivers work though because I can't pull up my device details in ADB (I am now able to do this thanks to some help in the forum)
EDIT: I fixed the driver issues, This involved manually assigning drivers TWICE through device manager. I had to assign them when I was in the bootloader and again when I went into recovery on my android device. Windows 8.1 recognized the device as 2 different devices based on what screen (bootloader vs recovery). Thus make sure to manually update your drivers twice. Once in bootloader and again in recovery. I am also using the latest android SDK platform tools.
I am now having trouble doing "adb sideload file.zip"... My device keeps rejecting googles OTA files saying signature verification failed https://goo.gl/photos/9UURn9To33YdZM7B7
I also get this error in CMD https://goo.gl/photos/dRvUS3bB5saGehX1A
EDIT: added more details
Last edit: Solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So none of the OTA roms from google worked in ADB sideload etc, but for whatever reason when I sideloaded a custom ROM it installed just fine... No sig verifications errors in recovery mode... I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/development/rom-pure-nexus-layers-fi-wifi-calling-t3244601 <---- After downloading this custom rom file, I moved it over to my SDK platform tools folder (you could also use the adb folder in your C drive if you went about installing those adb drivers)
Next, I started bootloader on my android device by pressing power and volume down buttons. I then navigated to recovery by using the volume keys. once in recovery, I selected apply update from ADB. I am now done with the phone.
I opened up command prompt from my PC using shift/right click from the appropriate folder (c/adb or platform tools folder). further, I opened command prompt and typed in "adb sideload pure_nexus_bullhead-6.0-20151109.zip" the flash was successful.
The first boot was not perfect. I recieved a error in regards to something about a manufacture error, but it was enough for me to get into the OS and enable OEM unlocking. I am now able to move forward and unlock the bootloader with rootkit or fastboot. After unlocking the boot loader I went back to a factory ROM which now installed with no problem.
Holly crap. Anyways huge thanks to everyone on this thread you guys are awesome I could not have done it without you.

Ok so here is the long story. I downloaded the Nexus rootkit and unlocked my bootloader in an attempt to root my device. I got half way through installing TWRP and erasing all my device information when my computer froze or something happened with the toolkit(I believe the program froze, so I disconnected). Mind you at this point I had not installed any third party roms or etc besides TWRP.
So after disconnecting my phone the entire screen went blank and was static. I could not see anything, so I sent it to LG for repair.

You're booting into the bootloader which is a good start. Using the vol keys can you go to recovery? Is it the stock recovery. Also,I think your drivers are correct. When booted into the boot loader you need to use fastboot commands, not adb, i.e. fastboot devices
Edit, I see from your second image it's the stock recovery. Try loading the ota from here, https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota#bullhead

So I tried using fastboot devices and nothing comes up.. I am going to try reinstalling all the SDK/drivers on a different computer. Maybe that will help.

Are you booted into the bootloader when you run fastboot devices? Power and vol down keys then stay on the screen with Start on it.

Ok I think I am connected now...
Device manager is showing my device as
Android Devices

It is also now recognized in CMD.. before it would not show up.

Ok I am not sure what to do now as the google directions advise me to use ADB reboot recovery and that doesnt work...

Just boot into the bootloader then use the vol keys to go to recovery
It's the same screen as the second image you posted.

Ok so I tried running in recovery mode... I selected apply update from from ADB.... Than I ran the following command adb sideload (ota file.zip) from CMD and I got this error
"ERROR: DEVICE '(NULL)' NOT FOUND"

See above, I get this message "ERROR: DEVICE '(NULL)' NOT FOUND"

You get that error on your pc? I'm not sure what to tell you.
You got the device back from being repaired in this condition?

You can't side load the ota if you don't have an OS installed. Download the the stock image from Android site and flash those images to get your device working. You need to be on the bootloader to flash them.

The OTA updates Google is supplying us are not simply delta updates. They are the full package. Google is doing it this way because the developer preview OTA was borking locked devices. The OP indicated that he is still locked. Oddly since he was flashing TWRP when this ****uation started. But that's the info we were given.

Ok here is what is going on.... It was definitely a driver issue. I had the drivers successfully installed when I was in bootloader, but as soon as I went to recovery mode on android my computer would no longer recognize the drivers, so I had to manually reinstall them again for recovery mode. Now I have access... I did another attempt at adb sideload "ota.zip" that I downloaded from googles OTA site , but I am getting a signature error on my android and abort message on android here
Am i suppose to unzip this file or leave it zip? When I unzip all I see is a bunch of .img files not zny zips so maybe I am missing something here.

So google has two download links for the OTA, I am trying the other one now without unzipping it.

Alright so the second file I downloaded is giving me the same verification errors in recovery... I am going to try one last thing before I try blending the phone.

There is hope ahead! i think I downloaded the wrong OTA from the google website. The nexus 5x and 6p have the same descriptions. Hopefully this solves the problem. I am literally ready to throw this phone in the blender and call it a day
