So I have an Att Note 2, which is bricked or soft bricked. I am a very rookie Android guy when it comes to modifying or hacking. I did root my Note 2 with Cyanogenmod. However, I missed S Note and the use of my S Pen so I researched a bit to get back to stock with the use of Odin and stock roms found on the net. I was successful, and actually amazed it worked. Long story short, a few days after that, an OTA update hit my phone, didn't even think about it and began the download. The phone downloaded the update, and rebooted to complete the install. The problem is, during reboot, the phone got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen. I researched a bit online, and everyone said get to recovery mode and do a few things. Problem is, I can't get into recovery mode, I can only get the screen described above, and the download screen, THAT IS ALL. Looked a bit more online and attempted to flash various stock roms with Odin. Some were successful, Odin passed, and the phone would get stuck on the Note II screen again, and would not boot into recovery mode, same issue with only being able to access download mode. The unsuccessful flash attempts got me to screen informing me that Kies needs to be used to update my firmware. Kies showed a recovery code, which was downloaded, but unsuccessful. It would download all the way, but at the end of install, it would fail. Funny thing is it would work enough to get me back to the ability to get into download mode. I just want my Note 2 working again. Is there any way to wipe my phone completely clean, and start over? Or is there any way to even re-root it, or flash any sort of rom on there, just so I can use the damn thing? I need some help by you pros out there ! Please!

Try flashing a recovery for ur device with Odin, not a ROM, just flash twrp recovery with Odin, after u flash the recovery u will be able to access recovery and flash a stock ROM through twrp. I think what happened to u is when u flashed the update it tried to right over the unlocked bootloader which caused the soft brick, try flashing the recovery for ur device and if that doesn't work try the above posters way...

Hello all,
I've got a Tab 3 7.0 T210R stuck on the Samsung logo with pulsing blue background. I've read through several Samsung boot loop help threads as well as the general Loop noob helper but haven't found a fix yet.
For my stuck T210R, What I've done & can do:
Was rooted with a "patched" stock UK ROM from last March [sorry, don't recall which]
Was running fine until after I tried to install from Play the TWRP Manager, I obviously did something bad! like select wrong device maybe
I can get into Philz, TWRP, & use Odin
I don't have a recovery back up [i really don't care about restoring back to anything - just want it to work, clean slate, ya know]
Tried a couple of latest ROM's through Philz and a stock ROM XAC-T210RUEAMK1-20131122134958.zip though ODIN. They seemed to be successful but I still can't get past Samsung logo
I've tried these ROMS that seem to load but ixna on successful boot afterwards:
ODIN: KIES_HOME_T210RUEAMK1_T210RXACAMK1_1304745_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Philz: Stock.rooted.deodexed.T210R.zip
Philz: TAB3-T210-HASSAN-ROM-V1.0-kitkat-4.4.2-Aroma-Mods-all Languages.zip
Philz: cm-10.1-20131209(1)-UNOFFICIAL-lt02wifiue.mine.zip
What's killing me is that loading new or stock ROM's SEEM to work - no errors or anything obviously indicative that I'll still be boot looping as soon as I restart. I'm quite desperate and thinking I'm truly bricked.
I haven't yet tried using ADB but if I can use ODIN and TWRP or Philz, will ADB do anything better than what I've already done? I haven't tried anything with the kernel as I can't really understand what to do there. I read and read and read the kernel threads but with my experience its really not as straight forward as rooting or flashing a ROM or software, and I could conceivably screw up worse! I'm mildly experienced at following guides to have rooted and ROM loaded a 1st gen Kindle Fire, Samsung SII skyrocket, S4, Tab 2 7.0, Tab 3 7.0.
No replies or interest? Please help
I'm I in the wrong forum? Did I offend someone? Could really use some input, please.
Any one seen this before? If you've any experience LOSING this battle, please speak up and I'll know to just resign to now owning a pretty white Samsung brick.
Boot to customed recovery under wipe choose format this will zero all partitions then redo

if i could find the "thanks" button I'd use it.
I'm traveling now but definitely try your solution. By "redo" I presume you mean load a ROM. When I wipe I also presume I'll still have custom recovery? I should still be able to ODIN, too, if needed?
thanks again
Yes exactly recovery will not go away once you have formatted the partitions you can now flash a new customed ROM or reflash original FW using Odin..Cheers
Hey buddy wanted to know if you ever found a solution for your issue? I am in the same bind you were in. Can you help guide me. I tried installing the same files you did and to no avail. I bought a Tab 3 T210R from eBay that was stuck in boot loop, I am assuming that it isn't rooted as when I would I went into download mode, it said the firmware was official.
Hey,
after my Tab 3 10.1 (P5200) got the KitKat update not so long ago, it went to an kinda unusable state, due to the cant write on External SD Card thingy.
So yesterday after checking out my options (Root or Update to Android 5) I decided to go for the root, since the Android 5 version is supposed to be a bit buggy.
Anyway, after my initial Odin try the tablet stuck at the "Galaxy Tab 3" logo, I think it was due to having a slightly different version than the root file was for.
So after that failed, I downloaded my stock firmware (P5200XXUBOB1_P5200DBTBOB1_P5200XXUBNK1) and also used Odin, which resulted in my tablet starting flawless again. But since it was the stock version, unrooted again, which is again, an unusable state.
So I went with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-10/rom-100-stock-4-4-2-kitkat-p5200-t2866066) thread, and tried the rooted version, put it in the root of my SD Card and installed it per recovery menu, which "worked" but got me stuck on the Samsung logo (side note: The music clip that playes when the logo gets outlined by the blue circle does not play completly, the last few moments are cut), after waiting for quite some time I thought I just go back to odin and install the stock firmware again. Sadly this only got me to the Samsung logo again.
Now I tried quite a few things...
I installed another stock version (Instead of the german one, i used one from luxembourgh)
I tried to install 4.2.2 again
The last thing I tried was to install the recovery menu from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442915), so here is something that could be interessting. I tried to do a Factory reset before trying to reinstall the stock firmware, which worked only partially, I could not mount /config, which he wanted to do to delete it I guess.
When I tried to manually mount /config it would also fail. (Not sure if thats relevant, but its the only thing that did not worked as expected)
So, everything I tried, with factory reset and stuff ended in a stuck at the Samsung logo. In one case (not sure what combination of stuff) I got in the bootloop (Galaxy Tab 3 -> Restart -> Galaxy Tab 3 -> Restart), in a rare case I just got stuck at Galaxy Tab 3, and in most of the cases I got stuck at Samsung logo (Start -> Galaxy Tab 3 -> Samsung).
So I hope somebody can help me, since Id rather not buy a new tablet only because google thought it was a cool idea to prevent apps from writing on ext SD Card, and me ****ing something up in the flash process.
My Tablet is a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5200) and at the moment with the 4.4.2 build "P5200XXUBOB1_P5200DBTBOB1_P5200XXUBNK1" (atleast thats the filename of the stock firmware im using, downloaded from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/43847/P5200XXUBOB1_P5200DBTBOB1_DBT/), I used Odin 3.07 and Odin 3.09.
I can access the Odin/Download mode, the build in recovery mode, and could use the TWRP recovery mode if I were to install it with Odin.
I still didnt solve it, every help would be greatly appreciated, I really dont want a paper weight in tablet format
Bump
Let me start by saying I'm new to the Samsung world, I've had HTC android phones ever since the first Hero. That being said, I was able to update my phone to 5.1.1 and use the mostly stock OF7 kernel my phone booted up the first time, starting installing some apps, then decided to reboot it. Now it just goes into the boot screen that say Samsung and in red letters up top it says "Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock". Looking back I know I should have unlocked the bootloader when I had it booted up, but I forgot. Every time I try to flash a stock kernel in Odin, it pops up with the same message, but just says "Custom Binary (Boot) blocked by FRP lock". Is there any way to get my phone to boot up again, or will I have to wait until it's possible to download the 5.1.1 firmware? Even when that download is available will I be able to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Are you able to flash TWRP in Odin? If you can at least get to TWRP you should be able to flash a custom ROM like Sacs23.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've tried flashing TWRP in Odin and it fails and says "Custom Binary (Recovery) blocked from FRP lock".
Bummer. Are you using Odin 3.10.6? If so, then I'm stumped.

Sure am, I just hope that flashing the firmware download will work when it's available. Otherwise I guess I'm screwed
How about Kies? Long shot I know...

Yeah that would work and I should have done that before I restarted, but I forgot, and now I'm unable to get past the boot splash screen, and can' t access the stock recovery, pretty much the screen I can get to is the Download screen

Did you try the new TAT file of the 5.1.1. It's posted now on here. I had the same thing but I had Asurion insurance and they sent me a new device for $200 deductible.

My sm-920T t-mobile Galaxy s6 is now stuck in a boot loop on splash screen
I flashed the new note 5 kernel and firmware that just came out to it and everything was working fine until I restarted my phone and now I'm stuck in just the Samsung Galaxy s6 boot screen can't access anything but download mode do any of you have any useful info or files I may be able to flash through odin to get through this because my phone is now essentially now a locked down brick that was working awesome right before I restarted it for the first time I forget the devs. name who put out the kernel and firmware for the note 5 to work on the s6 but this damned frp block/lock has made my fully paid for s6 I just got a doorstop now and I'm so frustrated anything I'm trying to flash on odin AP. is failing and I'm just so angry. Can someone please swoop in and give me some possibly useful advice so I can get my phone to boot because it was fine..... Till the restart because just one program was f/c but I would've eventually restarted anyway so I guess once I flashed it I was doomed. DEVS PLEASE. I know someone in here has to have had the same problem and conquered it. I've tried everything in my limited repertoire. Thanks alot for any responses. I was on normal 5.1.1 s6 firmware previous was just rooted with custom recovery
Getting the same frp error. Everthing I flash through ODIN fails. Even flashing stock 5.1.1 OF7 fails. I believe it's because I was on OGA so I have to wait until the tarball for that comes out I guess. Unless anyone else has some ideas?
Try using ODIN to reload the bootloader. Google the how, there are many posts.
Hope it helps. That's what I did to get mine to work.
same-ish stuffs
So I have a new s6 on a sprint plan. Was stuck in like a boot loop with the same message in nice red letters kept coming up on the load screen. I was on OGA and had just tried to implement TWRP via the playstore. This started the boot loop. after reflashing the original rootof7.tar i had managed to get it break-free with a factory reset on TWRP(which was now working), only to have the battery die before I had a chance to do anything. after I had got it on a charger it started with the charge battery icon and the red FRP lock message. It would basically just loop there going no further unless i tried to full reset(all buttons) or download mode. Could not flash anything via odin (only recieved error messeges). Took to Bestbuy and after some shuffling around(geeksquad is terribad) I managed to get the Samsung guy to flash a stock OF7 and it works fine now. No more root or twrp and the knox reads 0x1, bu the phone is working now

Hi
my galaxy note 2 is stuck on the flashing SAMSUNG logo after recovering with TWRP, at the end of the recovery when everything is installed (data , files etc the phone gives me error message that "it seems root access lost and requests that I fix the issue. When I press enter on TWRP it reboots and gets to the Samsung logo and does not proceed. Initially I tried to flash a new ROM on the device and was no successful it was then I decided to recover to get to the previous system.
Do I have to flash the SuperUser again using Odin or is there another problem or missed something? I'm stuck and don't know how to get out of this predicament.
Your assistance in this regard will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Martin
Have you tried restoring with TWRP and, when prompted to root again, choosing no?
If you can't get out of the bootloop, you may be better off flashing back to stock with Odin and starting over.
