Old Tmo Note 2 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

When phone boots, all I see is Samsung logo, it doesn't go beyond that.
The phone was running 4.x stock rom and never rooted.
I can get the phone into download mode, but nothing after that when I try to ODIN, it just don't take it.
I left the PC there for very long time, but it just doesn't flash.
I made sure that my drivers are updates, used new ODIN V3.09.
Got the latest GalaxyNote2/ SGH-T889/TMB-T889UVUCMK7-20131209151709 firmware
the PC does detect the phone, and odin does find COM7 port.
any help would be appreciated.

Which file is failing to flash in Odin?

Is there one particular file that is not flashing such as system, recovery, etc? It would be shown in the Odin log window.

its just one tar file that I was trying to flash through ODIN.
the 2nd button ( I forgot the name of it, the one that replaces the PDA )
Can you link me the sequences which I should follow to get to the stock ODIN?
Thanks,

Post the Odin log.

Is mk7 the most recent stock ROM? It doesn't seem to be based on this: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-T999/
The boot.img file failure leads me to believe the ROM is too old for the phone.

This is for T889.

I am downloading this to try now

here is the new file that I tried to flash.

Humour me but could you boot the phone into download mode and check the model #?
Have you tried using different USB cables and USB 2.0 ports?

Okay, the firmware looks good and the phone is running a 4.3 bootloader so the latest ROM from sammobile.com is the only ROM that can be flashed via Odin.
Did you get a chance to try different USB cables and USB 2.0 ports? Might try on a different computer too.

I tried different cables, will try another computer and see

Different computer didn't work either.
What else I can try?

It still fails to flash sboot.bin? The file is the bootloader which could mean the memory is damaged or the original Samsung USB cable needs to be used for flashing.
As a last resort, you could take the phone to a cell repair shop and ask them to flash the phone with a jtag cable or Octopus box.

Your EMMC is bad probably.

File Transfer MTP Not Working After CWM Flash

I cannot get my file transfer to work after flashing my phone with clockworkmod.taz. I followed the instructions on this site, which is pretty much the same as the guide on XDA, except that it used Odin 1.85 instead of 3.04. The other thing that's different is that it didn't warn me that I needed to connect my S3 successfully to the PC before running the flash, so I didn't do it before flashing. My phone isn't rooted because I can't get the root file onto the phone to continue the steps.
Can anyone help me? I don't know what else to do. I know that the problem is the phone because I have another unflashed S3 that works fine on the same PCs. I have used different operating systems as well - XP SP3 x32 and W7 x64. Tried different USB ports. Reinstalled USB drivers and Kies. Disabled NOD32 antivirus. Nothing has worked. I am on the verge of returning this phone, but I don't know if flashing it with CWM has voided the possibility of a return.
Can I undo CWM flash? What else can I do? Will factory reset help?
NOTE TO MODS: Do NOT delete my thread again, please. At least give me a warning, move my thread, or something other than just erasing everything. My previous thread was deleted, so was all the work put into it.
I just removed CWM and flashed it with original ROM, but still cannot get the MTP working. I got the stock ROM from here. See the log below

I also did a hard reset from the boot menu and this damn phone is still not connecting. Any suggestions at all?
I'm surprised no one was able to help. Anyway, it turns out the problem is with all Samsung phones. Given that I had no problem whatsoever with the 16GB version, but both 32GB versions didn't work, it seems to be limited to the 32GB Galaxy S3.
The solution is to connect your phone to your PC BEFORE syncing your phone with Google. Just skip the prompts, get to the phone apps page, and connect the phone. If it still doesn't connect, remove the SIM card and try again.
If you have already synced to Google, just do a factory reset.

[Q] Phone SoftBricked in the middle of the night, help!

I haven't done any ROM updates for a couple of weeks, and I was sound asleep when the phone rebooted. It sat 'rebooting' for two hours before I woke up.
I'm able to reboot into Download Mode, but have been unable to install anything that has worked. I tried flashing both TWRP2.7.0.0 and the stock ROM, but neither have worked. TWRP is still showing as 2.6.3.1 on my phone, and I get a failure when loading the Stock rom that looks like this:

I'm also able to boot into Recovery mode, but it appears that the phone is encrypted (it asks for a password, even though I've never encrypted it!) and when I try to factory reset or wipe dalvik or anything else, I get: E: Unable to mount '/cache'
Can you help? Phone is a rooted SGS-I7474M on Telus, and was running Slim 4.4.4 build 7.0 Official 5979. I'm using TWRP as my recovery.

I think that's what I've been doing? I've downloaded this stock firmware: sammobile.com/firmwares/download/34793/I747MVLUFNH2_I747MOYBFNH2_TLS.zip/ and then tried loading it via ODIN?
Perhaps I'm missing something... Appreciate your thoughts!

What bootloader is on your phone?
You're trying to alter the bootloader which is causing the error after trying to flash aboot.mbn.

You've lost me... I have no idea. I don't think I've ever touched the bootloader unless that's packaged with Slimkat or TWRP,
How do I find out and what's my next step?

The aboot.mbn file is a bootloader that Odin is trying to load onto your phone. but the current bootloader is preventing this because the bootloader your are trying to load is not compatible with your phone or the current bootloader is newer than the bootloader Odin wants to flash.
Does your phone still boot into download mode? You're sure your phone is an i747m (Canadian version of s3)?
If your phone can boot into download mode, I recommend you flash the latest version of Philz Touch for the d2lte, copy a custom ROM to your external SD card, boot into Philz, and flash the custom ROM so you can at least get your phone booted. Once booted, install the Samsung Phone info app. This app will tell you the baseband and bootloader on your phone.

Reverting Note 4 Back to Stock Firmare

I've searched high, and I've search low for firmware for my phone (only to be led to sites whose download speed is atrocious).
My phone model is: SM-N910P
I've been searching for the .tar files for the firmware updates. The MD5 is either not valid by Odin's standard or something else.
Can someone point me along to a link of the latest Note 4 Stock Firmware update from a site that doesn't take all day to download from? Thanks Kindly.
P.s. Yes, I have gone through website and threads posting link to the correct firmware but all of them have not been MD5 correct or worked at all.
I'm also experiancing frequent crashes/restarts on the phone.
I got this phone from a family friend and its been acting weird in ways that are outside my comphrenension. It's rooted and they need it to factory state but all theses errors, problems, slow downloads, are making it near impossible.
Try downloading stock tar from this thread with your PC. You can and should verify the md5 before flashing in Odin when md5 is provided.

Questions:
Which stock tar did you flash? (see end of this post)
Does the phone frequently reboot or boot to download mode (reporting) failure to normal boot? Any eMMC failures reported?
Things to check or try if non applicable:
Factory reset in stock recovery if no OS is installed. If you can boot OS, make sure that Settings/Security/reactivation lock is disabled and enable developer mode and enable USB debugging.
Verify correct Samsung driver installed on PC or uninstall and reinstall from Samsung support for Note 4.
Use original Samsung Note 4 cable or replace. A good quality USB data cable should work but if replacing, use OEM replacement.
Run Odin in administrative mode. Try the suggested Odin version (3.10.7 or 3.10.6) or latest version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51767811&postcount=1
(Odd reported issues sometimes result in one of these reported as successful where various others weren't).
Try another USB port, cable or PC
Edit: All KIES and Smart Switch sessions should be killed prior to starting Odin session.
Do not Odin older stock tars; usable stock tars start at OG5 and up.

spontaneous bricking?

using a note 2 today and it just decided to reboot on its own, and then never got passed the splash screen. i have twrp recovery installed. booted into recovery and couldnt do anything. couldn't mount anything, wipe anything, restore anything. all storage showed 0MB. kept giving errors that it couldn't mount any partitions (cache, system, etc.) something with error 16.
i tried flashing a stock rom with odin. that failed. just seems like it is totally corrupted and nothing can be written to it.
how does something like that happen just randomly???? any way back from the dead?

Without the pit file, it's failing with the boot.img file and this may be fixed by using an oem Samsung cable or different usb 2.0 port. It could also be that the bootloader in the rom is not for the phone or the phone's current bootloader is newer than the bootloader being fished.

tried different cables and ports and another ROM, I317UCAMA4.. still fails.
i think it's a lost cause.
I'm sure you are correct but this phone shows up as an sgh-i317 in download mode?
Where did you get the ROMs? AT&T never released an Odin-flashable ROM after 4.1.2.
