spontaneous bricking? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

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?

Is the phone an AT&T Note 2? Where did you find the stock ROM for Odin?

yes AT&T note 2.
the stock rom i got from a link on this forum. i tried this one first, I317-UCUCNJ2-Stock.tar.md5, then this one I317-UCUCNE5-Stock.tar.md5
also tried re-partitioning after with this pit file, i317.pit
i tried using Odin v1.85 and Odin 3.07

What is the error message in the Odin log?
Tried using different usb cables and usb ports with Odin?

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.

You have the 4.3 bootloader on your phone? If you do, you can't use Odin to flash a stock ROM because it may brick your phone. You can only use Odin to flash a 4.3 stock ROM that had specifically been compiled for use with Odin.

Is there a 4.3 rom we can flash with odin? I attempted (stupidly) to flash stock after a CM11 nightly caused a bootloop and would not allow me to enter recovery. All I can do for the moment is enter download mode. Every rom I try to flash I get the same error along with the error on my phone reading:
SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 2 > Binary 0
Is there anything I can do?
EDIT: Finally found a fix. I flashed a rom from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683
Just go to their website and download the file for your specific model. After flashing my phone booted up in CM11 (what I previously had installed) but it crashed upon loading the lockscreen. Luckily I could enter recovery mode and do a factory reset. This fixed everything!

[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:

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!

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.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100

Hello,
First, my note 2 stuck at boot logo.
When i try to enter recovery stuck about 15 seconds on logo after that says with red failed to mount /efs (no such file or directory) ; failed to mount /system (no such file or directory); failed to mount /cache (no such file or directory) ; failed to mount /cacahe/recovery/last_recovery (no such file or directory) ; failed to mount /data (no such file or directory).
I read that it would be something about a "rescue fireware" was a topic on the XDA forum but no link was not working.
Please help me fast!
Thx!

Flash repair firmware

Hey, sorry for hijacking your thread.
I have the same problem. I tried many different scenarios and I couldn't fix it. I gave up and went to Samsung and after 48hs I called finding out that they refused to fix it. Talked to the IT guy and he said he has no idea how to fix it and told me the only fix is to change the whole motherboard and he said its not suggested to do so as its expensive. I have no idea what I should do. I flashed custom recovery, stock recovery. Tried to separate the whole firmware and flash it piece by piece using the skipsoft tool. I tried flashing PIT files with custom recovery, stock recovery, stock rom I have tried multiple PIT files from multiple websites.
This happens when I try flashing stock rom downloaded by samfirm or sammobile.

It will keep doing this forever until I unplug the cable. I'm running stock Kitkat 4.4.2 but all methods I find are for older versions with different bootloaders yet I still tried them as there are no recent fix from what I can find.
In the first situation, the sboot.bin causes an error because the bootloader in the ROM is older than the phone's current bootloader.
Did you try flashing the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com using Odin 3.07 in the PDA slot? Sammobile.com ROMs should only be unzipped once to yield a tar.md5 file and flashed in the PDA slot.
Tried different USB cables and USB ports?

Yes I did all that. Same error. If I extract the tar file and do another odin flashable tar using skipsoft tool it doesnt work, removing one file at a time didnt work either. I tried the latest on sammobile, the latest on sammobile for my country, and the latest from Samfirm for my country. I also tried using SmartSwitch and Kies recovery using the serial number and model number and they don't recognise the phone during downloading like about 60% of downloading it will show an error that it doesnt recognise it.

Old Tmo Note 2

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.

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.

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.

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.

Your EMMC is bad probably.
