So I accidentally flashed a Jelly Bean ROM leak for the SGS2 I9100 and now I'm stuck in a boot loop with the Samsung logo repeating itself. When I boot into CWM recovery (PhiZ Touch 3 Clockworkmod 6.0.1.5 is what this one flashed), my phone is unable to recognize my external SD card (E: Can't mount /sdcard/).
I've Wiped Data/Factory Reset
Erased Reformatted SD Card
Attempted to connect Odin - does not recognize phone
I've tried NUMEROUS times to connect Odin (Kies)
From what I've read, it sounds like my partition is pretty screwed up. I've been reading a lot of posts on possible solutions and nothing has worked. If I could get access to reading my SD Card and reflashing an old ROM, I'd think I'd be in the clear. If I could find a way to push a ROM through Odin, I think I'd also be in good shape. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ryan
SGS2 Epic 4G Touch
Check out mobiletechvideos.com epic 4g touch jtag service. Its about $50 and the only way to recover fully from an intl flash on the et4g. U need to be more careful with what u flash because u can easily turn your phone into a doorstop and if u have no ins and are out of warranty will be stuck having to buy a new device. If you have warranty but no ins it'll cost $35 at sprint corporate store to get it replaced, and ins will run u a $100 deductible. Jtag can't fix the BLOD(blue light of death) brick but can fix a wrong version brick like u currently have. Your bootloader and USB support are currently fubar from flashing the wrong one with the intl versions rom package

Thanks for the reply. From what I gathered it looked like I was going to have go the Jtag route and I'm preparing to send the unit out. You brought up an interesting option of taking it to a Sprint Corporate store for replacement. I purchased the phone in March of 2012, so it should still be under factory warranty - unless you mean Sprint Warranty - but won't they know I caused the problem?
As far as flashing intl version ROM, I was content with the GB ROM I've been running for months and just jumped when I saw a JB release for what I thought was my version of phone. Won't do that again.
So Jtag is the only route to go; no hope of running a script to push over an reset the phone?

Yes, unfortunately the corporate store is only good if you're superbricked where u only get a solid blue light when u try to boot up. Mfg warranty and sprint warranty are 1yr from purchase date. In your current situation jtag is your best bet. For future reference double check what u want to flash and make sure it says sph-d710, epic 4g touch, e4gt, et4g or sprint galaxy s2 as device name, anything else is most likely for one of the numerous other variants and will leave u in the situation ur in now, which is no good. If you ever wipe in the wrong recovery and end up with the BLOD then sprint corporate store or Samsung are a good option for replacement under warranty, its cheaper than ins and usually thru sprint only takes a day or 2 if they don't have a refurb on hand.
Edit: and yes jtag is the only way to get back to 100% there are a few ways to patch it up but u still lose USB support because the wrong firmware version that was flashed to the emmc allows it to activate but its drivers are messed up, basically the phone thinks its the i9100 instead of the sph-d710 so it can't find all of it's hardware components due to the internal file structure and hw version differences between the 2 devices.

Before you send your phone off for jtag service, at least see if you can get to DL mode. If so, can you use one click exe stock EL29 and you might get lucky. I have been able to get to DL and use this if I get to the Samsung logo.
ALso, will cwm recognize the internal SD? are you able to put a nandroid or rom from you ext SD onto your internal oneusing your computer?
I'm sure you have tried this, but throwing it out just in case. Good luck.

so i sent out for a new warranty phone , my current S3 was acting up .. the USB port is not working , therefore my laptop cant read my phone, i was able to root the phone, install TWRP , and such before it went bananas... i decided it was wise to unroot and set my phone back to stock before sending it back... well i unrooted my phone but TWRP remained installed..
Here is what i want to do , and hopefully you guys can help me out..
i unrooted, therefor i cant install "TriangleAway", which i think is the app to reset the counts of Flashes.... but i still have TWRP ... i want to once again ROOT my phone, so i can use triangle away, reset the counter... unroot the phone and set my phone back to stock... please not again , that my USB is not working..
I have the new phone with me, i was planning to do a back up of the STOCK ROM and restore this one , with the old phone.
If anyone has ideas on how to help here, id greatly appreciate it , thank you guys!

You should be able to install root software from TWRP. Try installing SuperUser zip.
I think you will need to put the .tar or .tar.md5 on a removable sd card and use mobile odin (on the play market but not free) after you have used Triangle Away (both are from the same dev). Just load the .tar file in mobile odin and DO NOT check everoot. This should get you back to stock everything and unrooted.

Problem first: My note 4 has no network of any kind (wifi doesnt start , doesnt recognize sim card )
When i try attaching a usb cable i get Device is not recognized (checked drivers, cables so its software and it's the mobile)
The only communication with the device is via the SD Card.
Tried flashing a stock 4.4.4 via stock recovery. Nope! It says Update from external card is disabled.
I'm looking for a way to root , or flash anything.

Never been OTA updated to lollipop OE1? That one doesn't allow downgrading to older versions.
Device not recognized with USB in what mode and operation? Security protocols for KitKat and Lollipop are restricted. Device should be recognized in custom recovery or download mode. Did you try Odin? Power down, download mode and flash the NK2 stock tar. If you're still having problems ##786#. Still having issues, try the NIE stock tar. Make sure you power down before flashing stock tars. Link to KitKat tars mentioned above; follow OP, post 1 for instructions.

For root, you need CF Auto Root for Note 4. You can also try TWRP Manager for custom recovery. It's in Google Play. But you don't have to root to flash in Odin. Samsung KIES is alternate method for restoring factory firmware or updates but some are confused by the serial number request; not recognized. Haven't tried it myself.

Tx for the reply.
Device is not recognized in neither mode (normal, download or recovery).
I tried ##786# but i dont know my msl and i cant find a wy to get it (im outside the US so the phone is not activated). I tried some "msl reader find my msl" programs but they cant get it. Any1 has some apk that may work in my case?
As for the flashing as I stated all I need is a way to flash stock but i cant get the PC to recognize the phone so im stuck.
EDIT 1 As far as I know never been updated (bought the phone in ebay)
I don't know if there's anything that can be done but get a refund. Sounds like you bought a brick. Was it always a brick?
Did you try another USB port? Try the rear port. If not, try a hard reset: wipe cache and dalvik and factory reset and try to reboot. Long shot would be a hard reset and OB7 update.zip; unless it's completely stock, the update will be rejected. But I'm thinking that can no longer just be placed on external sdcard. That may have to placed on the file system as if the phone downloaded it, itself.
It's safer to hard reset. If not rebooting to normal operation, time to pursue a refund.

So I was thinking about the situation you're in. I recalled the phone can be unlocked to use internationally on 3G only. Is it unlocked? It would also
need to set your carrier APN/Access points to get data.
If you own the phone, Sprint will give you the MSL number. Sprint can help unlock it and there's also this method but I don't know much about about it. There's also the hard reset method that can be done within settings.
Here's a method that was requested with a pledged bounty. But try Sprint first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...print-samsung-unlocker-unlock-sprint-t2928250
My initial impression was phone is bricked but not sure if a locked phone's WiFi is bound to regional USA that would cause WiFi connection issues? It's still possible the USB issue is not using a USB 2.0 port or a bad cable. It may not be bricked. Try reinstalling driver and/or another PC.

Well I tried everything u mentioned , full factory restore, wipe everything. I even tried update from external (since stock has no option for updating from the internal sd) but i get an error (update from external storage is disabled). The phone is practically a brick for the network part but I'm not sure I can return it back in the states as I'm in Europe. Any way i can root via some apk ?

I didn't think the root is possible without Odin for either the custom recovery or root.
eBay return practice would be to notify seller of issue. If no response, contact eBay.

Wouldnt the entire phone be soft-bricked (not just the network part) if you did the factory reset and wiped your phone but cant get the cable to recognize your phone on your pc ???
Or is that your current situation?
Well everything but network works. I can install apk's from sdcard, open apps etc. Next thing is the screen just got black and is not giving signs of life (didn't do anything it was charging) so it's going in a repair shop. Thanks everyone for the efforts. Case may be considered closed.

I flashed TWRP with odin.
After that I was not able to boot or start recovery.
Only download mode is possible.
In download mode it shows
warranty void 1 (0x030c)
I also cannot flash anything in odin anymore.
After initializing, it immidiatly stops with the error:

Can anybody help me, how to get this beautiful phone running again?
Thanks so much!

try to download the firmware from http://samfirm.net/threads/official-rom-full-galaxy-note-7-sm-n930f-n930fxxu1apg7-xxv-23-07-2016.98/ and try to flash via odin.
Never ever try to flash anything till the time there is no evidence of success.
I tried that, but the problem is that I always get this error in Odin when trying to flash...
Did you check OEM unlock before you flash as per the instructions? not doing so will result in a boot loop.
Try different cable and USB port. I had trouble with both that had me running in circles.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
Yes, I did OEM unlock before the flash.
Different cable and USB port makes no difference...
Usually when I have issues I try to uninstall all drivers related to phones and only install the one I need. Then after a restart and forcing the phone into Odin I'm able to flash without issues.
It might be failing because of a Partition size error. Have you tried the Samfirm Tool to download a firmware from your region?
Have you tried Emergency Device Recovery from SmartSwitch PC ?
Also, I'm doubtful whether this is a new trick up from Samsung's sleeve. This Phone is still new, so it's quite a learning process. Maybe Samsung has implemented something to block these unofficial flash attempts. However I thank you taking the risk and trying the recovery first.
Can you help me, where I can get this?

Download and install SmartSwitch for PC. Then follow this Video.
I really have no luck here...
Any idea?
Googled already, but did not really find anything besides reinstalling...
I dont think theres a fix for this issue yet. There's also no subtantiated literature in the larger cummunity pertaining to rooting the Note 7.
I am guessing this is an additional precaution taken by Samsung therefore the rooting process needs a very specific set of steps in order to circumnavigate the systems Sammy has put in place. The thread itself says WIP, so I applaud you for your courage.
Nonetheless my suggestion is to instead of waiting for an answer which no one can provide, go to Sammy and bull**** to them that u plugged in the computer and it became a brick.
Theres is no possible senario whereby the internet can help you because we know next to nothing about Note 7.
I sincerely hope that you can come out of the situation with a working Note 7 in your hands whilst not burning a hole in your wallet due to the repairs. God-speed my friend, God-speed.

This seems to be an issue in your drivers, Please uninstall all samsung related and flash box related (if exists) in your PC and try installing it again.
Alternatively, you can just walk into a Samsung Care store and get it done while you wait.
I did that already... No luck. I will try on a different pm next.
Bill sad to see this happened to you
I am exactly coming for the same forum and was following the same steps thought u were, but u took one more step forward and flashed the vitanamese firmware, your phone just messed up there. Was actually about to do the same thing but then read your comments. My phone starts but with errors and has battery drainage , i havent lost anything as it is still virgin and havent transfered anything to it yet. Will wait probably 4 to 5 days more for the official firmwares to release and fire it in.
Sorry to say but u had become the test subject...

I just was in the Samsung Care Center in Singapore with my bricked phone.
After 1 hour waiting time, a Samsung guy explained me, that they cannot do anything about it, because they don't have parts ? for this phone in Singapore because it was not launched yet and also there is no international warranty on it.
He had no idea about any software recovery or anything and suggested to get back to Dubai, where I got the phone from.
Really a bad Customerservice experience.
I also want to thank all of you for your great help and suggestions!
I think I will send the phone back to the store in Dubai now.
Well tht will be a good choice
But if u give it three more days and wait for the official firmwares to release would save you some time.
I am still following up with it.

Same here in (Dubai) Mate, They don't even have the parts, or Tools to open the device up. If you remember me, I screwed up my Note 7 a week back, Just after two days from launch, and I still didn't receive it. They are still unable to sort it out.
I'm sure when a proper firmware for XSG (Dubai - Same as your device) and a proper ODIN is released to flash the Note 7, this will be a piece of a cake. Just hope for the best, As just like you - I too took a leap of faith and did something stupid.
Anyway, Wishing you luck !
I am not sure if this will help....
What happens when you try a older version of Odin?
Its worked for me in the past, with my s6 edge.
Hi! I got a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5g that i bought from a store as second hand. They give a 14 days waranty but I don't really have the time to send the phone to service.
My problem is this... The phone right now has android 12 one ui 4.0 with Android security patch level from march 1, 2022. I want to upgrade it to android 13, but everytime I try thru OTA it fails at 25% and comes back to original saying Failed to install update, contact a samsung service center. Or something similar.
I found on the web that updating thru Samsung Smart Switch should work, but for me it doesn't. It downloads 7.3 gb of updates, after that phone enters download mode and I get after some time a NOTICE on the computer that "failed to recognize software update mode" and instructs me to reboot device and try again. I even enabled USB debug mode and I get the same NOTICE on the computer. And after that I reboot phone from downloading mode and everything is back to original.
The phone was charged 50%+ everytime i tried, also I got enough rom memory, I checked. Changed usb cable to another USB on the laptop and I get the same result from Smart Switch.
Phone model is SM-A528B/DS. I will provide more info if needed.
What I can do to succesfully update the software on my A52s 5g? I searched on the web to no result to my Smart Switch error. Also I've seen that are alot of cases where thru OTA the phone fails at 25%, but either they succesfully updated thru Smart Switch or no response.
I want to try installing the official rom from sammobile but I really don't know what firmware I should pick.
Thank you in advance!
