So I was in the middle of messing with my note, rooted already and working great. Just downloaded a ROM to the SD. Not installing anything. Note not plugged in but 98% on battery.
All of a sudden the screen is blank. Can't get anything to turn on. Don't see anything on the screen. Nothing. Changed battery, plugged it in, no dice nothing.
Ideas? Hardware issue?
Any and all help is appreciated.
By the way was on stock ROM.
Really any help is appreciated.
Try downloading and running the is odin one click. And try to put your phone in download mode. if it does not work. hardware failure and youll need a new device
I would try the above, download mode, all different modes of the phone to see what's working.
Also i would try holding the power button for 8 mississippi seconds and see if it vibrates.
hmmm

I think i found the problem, after reviewing whAT i think i had done, I was tryuing to root and install a custom rom to galaxy note, but in odin i flashed cwm recovery to the bootloader instead of PDA...can this be fixed?
Sometimes phones die... Good new is sammy will probably never know that you rooted it when you send it in for exchange.

If your not getting any response try holding the volume up and down buttons at the same time and plugging it into a charger that brought my phone into recovery mode, I did a factory reset and I was up and running again

Okay, so I just bought my Galaxy S2 a few hours ago came home and went to root it just like I've done every android phone when I get it. So far I've had a G1, HTC Hero and a HTC Evo 4G. So I'm not really new to doing any of this but I wouldn't say I'm any expert either. I used the tutorial for rooting from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301682) and it was this youtube video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-2Z2dKsuio) I tried to do it and got all the way until the point where you push start and then it said that it failed. Now all I can get my phone to do is pop up to a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I have looked for a recovery mode option in Kies but can't find anything. The only thing I find is something about an Emergency Recovery and when I try that it asks for a pin or something. If anybody can help it'd be awesome!
What were you trying to flash? with Odin, right?
Remove the battery, hold both volume buttons, plug in USB, keep holding volume buttons.... does it enter download after ten seconds or so?
Try with this stuff using odin if you can enter download.

Then enter 3 button recovery and wipe data.
See if it boots.

the phone just keeps going buzz....buzz....buzz but the screen doesn't ever come on and nothing happens when I leave the battery out.
PS. I also noticed earlier that the phone would stay on that screen where it asks about entering download mode until I would raise my fingers off the volume buttons and then it would go back to the screen that tells me to do the recovery with kies or w/e
Sorry no idea.... if you can't get to download with what I said a few times, then in lost.... there are a number of folks here who know way more than I do. I'm bowing out.
At the very least, check out the unbrick/return to stock thread in detail...

So I went on rooting AT&T SG S III using Toolkit 5.0 from XDA. After running Odin rooting, my phone was unresponsive to the next step. I then unplugged the phone and redid. So now
- cannot go to downloading mode; when hold Volume Up+Home+Power, it vibrates, shows Samsung icon and then black-out
- hold power button and it'll be the same
- computer doesn't recognize the phone whatsoever
So was phone hardbicked? Is there anything I can try?
Had the phone not even a week and now this happened
You screwed yourself by flashing stuffs from international forum. Read every details next time.

Your power button is stuck. The same thing happened to mine. To remedy this, DON'T use the power button. Use volume to wake device up. Then program a button to turn screen off. Holding search button is my power off. Screen shots can be programmed too.
After awhile your button will become unstuck after not using it much. You'll still have to be careful though.
I was having issues with mine vibrating continuously a few times and and the Samsung logo would show up but then just go back to black.. I was able to get it into recovery mode to reflash that's why I mentioned it.

I had this happen with my first i717 Note on AT&T. It happened shortly after it fell out of my lap. Everything else checked out and it ended up being a cable that had popped off. I buy my devices at BestBuy and always get black tie coverage, so I just took it back. New phone was there in 2 days time.
Yeah, many things lead to the almost dead phone. I didn't think about dropping-cable/connector unseating. That will go on my list of likely causes to investigate. Thanks.
This happened to me after I upgraded my twrp to 2.4.?- the newest version. It made my phone go nuts, unstable, and I had triple vibrates with no power on. Very weird! What fixed it- I long pressed power for 10-15 seconds, it triple vibrated, and then pushed power again and it would boot.
Also had trouble getting into the new recovery. I would hold volume -and+, power, wait for the triple vibration, release power- keep holding volumes till samsung flashed on screen, then release volumes. Then recovery would pop up.
After I rolled back to an older twrp, it was as normal as always.
I also had this issue once and it was battery related. Apparently the battery was so low that all it did was vibrate. So, you might want to check that as well.
i am experiencing the same issue tried everything i could thing of (battery pull,press and hold power button etc) everything but nothing worked please help

I've ran the latest C ROM with KT kernel with no problems. Have you tried pulling the battery and waiting a minute or two then putting it back in and try to get back into TWRP?? You should be able to. What you did should not brick the phone... It just probably isn't going to boot normally with errors after a kernel flash.
I'd try that and maybe update your TWRP if needed. Then re download the kernel and make sure it's the AOSP-Kit Kat version.
Reflash ROM+ new kernel and you should be good.

I did something like this and totally borked my S4. I accidentally flashed a note2 kernel and when it said that there was an error, I disregarded it and rebooted. Big mistake! I needed to get a replacement. Just letting ya know that you're probably out of luck. Because it was so borked and odin couldnt fix it, i was worried that I'd be charged for rooting it. (I'm a corporate VZW rep) but i sent it back anyways and crossed my fingers. Took one day to get replacement and all was well. Luckily my replacement was an MDK, so i was able to immediately root the replacement =)
Good luck man.

I just had the same thing happen to me a week ago or so when I was flashing a kernel that was supposedly for my phone, however it wasn't.
It took me quite a few battery pulls and continuous attempts at getting into recovery.
When you pull the battery and wait a few then try to get into recovery are you still seeing the little blue words stating that it's booting into recovery? And did you get the unauthorized software detected screen? Or yours is just looping and vibrating and that's it?!
I'm not saying you guys are all wrong and I know anything is possible but after a battery pull and waiting a minute you should be able to at least get into download mode even if flashing that kernel somehow borked your recovery ... I would think.

Flashing the wrong kernel not meant for your phone model will cause this to happen. If you can't get into Download mode you are probably screwed.
Just make sure you are attempting Download Mode properly:

The "Custom" warning is irrelevant. If it boots, you're done.
As usual, if you care about the "Custom" warning, revert to factory stock.
(You can remove that warning using Triangle Away "Periodic system modified reset" or the Wanam security hacks.)

so wait, what should i do from the screen? hit volume up to "install custom OS"?
I hit volume key down to reboot and it just goes back to black screen with short vibrations. I'm scared to hit the volume up...

With the phone off hit Volume Down + Power once the download mode screen pops up you'd be hitting Volume Up to continue. Nothing to be scared of. At that point youd need to use Odin. Have you used Odin before?
