Hey guys, I was using odin to flash back to stock. My GPS died and was going to try to get a replacement before I tried the hardware fix.
I went to flash back to stock using ODIN, it got stuck on modem.bin. After reading a bunch on people getting stuck here, it looked like it was safe to unplug and try again. I unplugged and now my phone will not turn on at all. Simply a black screen... no recovery, no download mode, no battery status when plugged in. Nothing.
I need some ideas here!
Thanks!!!
This worked for me in similar situations: Pull the battery, plug-in the usb cable, do the three-finger thing (or two finger or whatever works with your boot-loader) and then put in the battery and hope.

So, I just got my phone back from Samsung for this issue. Start my newly returned phone up, it's running 2.2. I turn it off, hold volume buttons and plug in my USB cable - I get download mode instantly. I start up Odin 1.7, select the files and click start.
Nothing happens. Hangs up SetupConnection. I unplug the battery, then the USB cable, plug everything back in and I'm back at square one with this ****ing screen.
Last time I tried every single ****ing button combination posted on this website. I know my phone isn't hardware locked because I've never had a problem getting in to Download Mode before. Hell, I'd never had a problem with Odin not working properly before. What the hell is wrong? I have all the proper drivers installed. Why is this happening?
Now, Odin still sees my phone when I plug it in. If I click Start, sometimes it hangs on SetupConnection, sometimes it hangs on Initialization. I've read that you should still be able to flash while on this screen? Is this true? Either way, I think I'm ****ed again. Any help?
Also, I've read that maybe a jig will help get me in to download mode? Where can I buy a jig from?
you can go to stock jfd from that screen, it acts like download mode.
Once on jfd, download mode will work fine.
try the files in my going back to stock... also make sure to remove any other usb components (they can cause odin to hang).
I love you.
Something must be wrong with the files on my desktop, or perhaps the other USB cable I'm using is ****ed.
This is a bit embarrassing. For some reason I can't get root. I can get in to recovery and select reinstall packages, but every time it boots right back in to the OS. Any hints? Never had this issue before.
EDIT: So it looks like I have Superuser installed but since I can't get into Clockwork I can't flash any roms. What's going on? I can't find any other links where people couldn't get in to Clockwork.
EDIT2: Well, I installed ROM Manager and used it to "flash" CWM. Reinstall Packages worked this time it seems. Weird. Anyway, thanks for the help!
Cool, glad you were able to get it all sorted.
I am currently flashing a PDA file to my vibrant and it is stuck on dbdata.rfs with a bright orange/yellow screen, is it possible to stop the flash by removing the battery or pulling the usb cord?
I would just leave it for a while although if it is stuck i would recommend not pulling the battery that's why the phone states DO NOT TURN OFF. I think you would be ok pulling the usb cord. after you've done that make sure you download the same rom from a different source maybe you have a bad file or something. then try flashing again. what rom are you trying to flash?
Yup do not unplug for at least 20 min if it did not take then pull usb cord and see if it remains in download. See if you can get into recovery if you can then reboot. Check the rom download and make sure it is not bad try re-downloding the rom. Then try again.
If it is locked then and stuck on a frozen screen then pull battery and then try to get into download and redo with new download. Also make sure you are using a later version of Odin

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've had this happen to me before and it freaked me the **** out. I ended up battery pulling and I got reaaaaly freaked out when I couldn't get back into recovery mode. I got back to download mode just fine, though.
YMMV. Don't take that as gospel.
Hi, I´m having a problem with my phone. Possible Hardware, but I still have some hope. Yesterday, I was puting the phone to charge, but it didn't start charging. Only after the third try. This morning, when the alarm set of and I was going to stop it, the phone fell (half a meter) and now I cant turn it on. Power button doesn't do nothing. If I plug it to the charger or to the computer, it starts looping with the battery icon with a circle inside, then with the green battery almost full, and then all over again and again. If I press down while this happens I cand get into download mode. I Tried to flash a rom from odin (no repartition, only PDA, PHONE and CSC) and, and it went ok, but it didn't solve my problem. The loop still continues, but now the green battery doesn't apear. Instead for only half a second the "android icon" that apears while installing a rom apears. And it continues looping.
I already tried another battery. Flashing the rom from odin, the Jig doesn't power the phone, so I can't reset the counter ( I don't know if it was possible with my bootloader. I was on the leaked JB with Philz kernel). Is there anything else I can do with odin and the download mode? I don't know anything about pit files or anything else.
Instaled OLD bootloader with odin, but the jig still doesn't power on the phone
Thanks in advance.
Well, I think I'm going to give up. I'm sending it to samsung. I can't reset the counter, so I think warranty won't cover. If they say it's expensive the repair I was thinking I could open the phone myself and maby change the usb pcb. I found a video on youtube with the same thing that happens to my phone.

I bought my Galaxy Note II right after it came out, and after a few months, I had unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone, and installed the Mean Bean ROM. I ran it with ZERO problems until...
Yesterday my phone dies after the battery is fully discharged, and when I plug it in, all I see is the pre-boot battery, as if it is about to charge, but the circular loading symbol is dead in the middle, frozen. The LED light up top won't do anything either.
I could get it into recovery and download mode, although the battery would not charge, so the phone had to be plugged in no matter what. Did a clean wipe and tried reflashing the ROM, then I tried flashing both the stock roms from stockroms.net for the Verizon Note 2. Every flash failed.
I went into download mode to try and flash the stock roms via Odin, but Odin wouldn't recognize my phone. Reinstalled the Samsung Mobile Drivers (yes the correct ones), tried using the Toolkit, but no matter what, Odin wouldn't recognize my phone. No comport number, nothing.
Next, I took out the usb charging port in the phone, made sure nothing was damaged or unplugged, and put it back it. No change. Went to bed frustrated as all hell.
This morning, I tried everything again a second time, and the next thing I know, hours later, the phone shows 11% battery in recovery mode, but no change otherwise. This whole time, I've been using Team Win Recovery Project, so I decide to switch to ClockWorkMod. I get the file on the sd card, put it into the phone, and...
Nothing. That 11% disappeared apparently. Now I cannot boot into recovery mode or download mode, let alone get the frozen battery indicator. What now?
Could be the charging port is damaged. About 2 months ago my phone looked like it was charging when I plugged it in (would show charging indicator), but really wasn't. Called Verizon and got a warranty replacement.
Sent From My Sticky Note, Too?
A couple days ago, within an hour of using my phone and everything seeming to be fine, my phone got stuck at the Galaxy Note II logo. Thinking that it locked up and reset itself or something like that while in my pocket, I pulled the battery because it didn't respond to the power button. after I replaced the battery and turned it on, it stopped at the same screen. After a few attempts, I tried to get into recovery mode and it only got to the download screen. After some research, it sounded like I could maybe flash the stock rom onto the phone and get back up and running. so I downloaded ODIN and found what I thought was the correct ROM and tried to flash it. ODIN gave an error about unable to find a PIT file, so more googleing later, I found a PIT file and tried again. ODIN tried for about 10 minutes and then failed. My phone was still on the download screen so I thought to just try the process completely from the start again. I unplugged my phone from the computer and tried to restart it, I think by holding the power button down but I may have just pulled the battery. once my phone turned off it hasn't turned back on again. It wont even attempt to charge when I plug it into the wall.
So I ask the people who are far more experienced with this kind of thing, did I unrecoverably mess up my phone, or is there something I can still do?
