[Q] guys need help....soft bricked - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

SOLVED!!!!!!
I need help....
I tried to load a rom on my note and odin froze up....I unplugged it like an idiot and .....brickedy brick......
So I am at this softbrick......"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again."
So of course I made a download dongle and tested it with my captivate...it worked just fine....but for the note nope....same screen....
So I try to do odin to factory recovery....fails....
I am not a noob....but please treat me as though I am one and tell me what to do. I have read and searched and tried but I am about ready to send it to get unbricked. But I hate to do so since I just know it is a simple solution that I am not thinking of..

Not yet trying again now....
I was trying to load Black star.....Figures....
But the good news is that it is taking a long time to do something in odin after I started the stock recovery....As far as I am concerned, as long as I dont see failed I am happy.
The only thing that is different is that I am using odin that says android+slp on top.
Wish me luck.:good:

FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!
3 different problems going on..
1.
main problem I think.... BAD USB CABLE....It worked off and on. I could still get data off of my phone but it would be off and on...Noticed this while driving today the stupid cable was connecting and disconnecting. I was like ....HUH?
2.
The USB port that I normally use to flash must have wanted a contract renegotiation. I Changed to another port and it started to work.
3. Used a fresh stock att recovery file....
SO....thanks to all of you ....All my stuff is still there too!!!!....Like the phone just caught a cold for a while.:good::victory:

Glad it worked out...redo your title to solved...

[Q] I neeeeeeeed major help

Hey guys
I have the Telus Galaxy note and since this was my first android phone I learned about rooting .. so I tried it tho it didn't seem to be very successful except if I tried to do anything with downloading roms the screen would go black and I would have to hook it back to my computer and run odin and reflash it just to get it back on .... tonight I don't know why but I (not even thinking ) decided to do a factory reset and when it went to go do it my phone did the same thing .. black screen but this time wont show up in odin .. I got it too once but the flash failed . so as of right now I can put my phone into odin mode but that's really all at this point , I hope someone can help me because im running out of options and am no good at this
thank you for taking the time to read this

Are you trying to flash a custom rom?
try a different usb port and or cable..might help. good luck!
Check out mobile tech videos on YouTube. They have services to root and rom phones.

All I know is im hooking up my note to the computer and odin wont pick it up . I know its not a usb or driver problem and what ive had to do before is hook it to odin and select the PDA and press start and my phone worked fine
Try playing with usb debugging on/off. Reinstall the drivers. I had a real hard time getting odin to see my captivate on my 64bit win 7 laptop. But my desktop pc works everytime. Make sure the usb cable is plugged into the back if you are on a desktop. Make sure you are running odin as administrator.

Why are people flashing with Odin? Drop the rom on the SD and do it through cwm. All the flashing problems are from people flashing through Odin.

Now that you mention it you are CORRECT. Doesn't flashing in odin increase your flash counter or something like that? Please excuse my noob-ness

Derp

So last night I decided to play around with my phone since I had been running stock ICS for a while. I still had some battery issues so was going to try out a few roms and see how they were all doing these days. I started off by flashing a siyah kernel using odin to get root. Everything went smooth. I then installed ROM manager and stupidly tried to flash CWM from within the app. The app completely froze and once I rebooted the phone would not boot correctly. I get the initial triangle bound galaxy s II screen but after that just a blank screen. Beyond that, the buttons and display flash ever so often very briefly but thats it. I could still get to download mode so I figured I would just use the "return to stock" thread to start over. Unfortunately I seem to have completely messed something up because I can't finish flashing anything, the computer beeps like I unplugged the USB cable and plugged it back in in the middle of anything that takes longer to flash than just a kernel and odin reports that it fails. When I used to just leave my phone plugged into my computer and it was at full charge it seemed to randomly do the same beeping as well. I think my next plan of action is to let the battery drain a bit and try to do a full flash (with bootloaders) and hope that it makes it all the way through without disconnecting as it seems to shut down the usb connection when at full battery for some reason.
In summary, I can get to download mode at this point, or a firmware failed to load screen. Ive tried various things with odin, heimdel and kies to no avail. Odin seems to have some marginal success except for the random disconnecting. Anyone have any advice for me (beyond trying to flash with the phone at around 50% battery or am I buying a Galaxy Nexus today?
Thanks in advance
If u can't get into cwm just flash a stock firmware from the download repository or from creepycrawlys sig. Odin should work fine in download mode regardless of what recovery rom manager installed. Make sure u have the latest drivers on your computer for the i777. Also I've found when I do the Odin flashes that the best way to get it to work is to start Odin with yer phone disconnected THEN connect it after Odin is started. Don't use rom manager in the future.

Thanks Phalanx, I will continue to pound away at it with Odin later tonight, I hope I am able to get a full flash in and will of course share what I find.
I will use more meaningful title's in the future Nick, not sure if I can edit this one but will look.

The random disconnecting sounds like either a bad cable or a bad USB port. Try to flash using a different USB cable...if that doesn't work, you may have a hardware issue.

Seems logical, I will try a different port and cable and see if I have better luck. Anybody have any suggestions on what package I should try first? Should I try one that includes the BLs or not? My end goal is going to be either cm9 or aokp.

I would stay away from packages with bootloaders. Too easy to fully brick your phone. I would use the one creepyncrawly posted here. Make sure you read and follow the directions to avoid Brickbug. This will put you on rooted stock ICS. You should then be able to flash to your hearts content.

I'd second this - if you get one of those random disconnects while flashing bootloaders, you could potentially be in a much bigger world of hurt...
Good news! I flashed with a different usb cable and port and it was able to complete successfully. Phone is up and running with the rooted ucle5 posted above.
I should have known to suspect layer 1 given my line of work...

I have read several times that you should not use ROM manager on the SGS2. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this to the OP, so I'm starting to wonder if I misunderstood something?

No, ROM manager is still one of the worst things you could use on an I777. Stay away from it. I believe OP realized his mistake after the fact, he included it so that others could better answer his question and help him get his phone up and running again.

[Q] PLEASE HELP I SCREWED UP!!! Bootloop sorta

I was on an international based rom and downloaded something that was supposed to be a fix for something. so after the download it took me to recovery to install and reboot. I flashed the zip and it obviously wasn't for my carrier because my screen went black then did the samsung logo, then my twrp recovery screen, but then right back around to the samsung logo. I can get to odin but not recovery. in odin it shows my phones product name correctly, says custom binary download and says no, current binary says samsung official, then system status says custom...Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help. I am so f***** without this phone...Please someone help....Thank You all..What can I do????

Lol yes, sorry kinda going crazy here. Thanks for responding, I appreciate that even. I was on Goodness i605 note 2. I must have screwed up by downloading something in those minsettings that was for a different carrier. It said it was a network error fix I believe. It then took me to recovery to flash the zip and thats when all hell broke loose. It just keeps booting over and over and after the samsung label it shows the twrp screen for a split second then it's just gone. It was obviously a huge mistake and I am an idiot for doing it. I have been trying to get things done through the pc and usb to the phone to fix it and that seems to be the other part of my problem is since I can't turn the usb debugging on on my phone i can't download anything through the usb, Right?...I'm a noob basically and obviously, lol but thanks for responding even if you have no advise.

Dude go into recovery with the rom still installed, and dirty flash the rom while only wiping cache and dalvik. So long as you didn't wipe system you should be fine doing that.
And read more. The op of goodness specifically said don't flash ANYTHING from that till he gives the go ahead. Or it will softboot your phone like it just did

Odin can be buggy, a lot of the issues are with USB cables and whatnot. Try some of these
1. Try Odin a few times, if it doesn't work disable any and all antivirus, reboot PC and try again.
2. If still no success, try reinstalling all drivers and yet again try again.
3. If that fails, use a different USB port.
4. If that doesn't work try a different USB cable.
5. If all else fails just try a different PC.
Frankly your phone has reached rock bottom so any fails with Odin should not make the problems worse than they are now. Keep us posted and good luck.

Ill give all that a go for sure thank you very much. Is there any possible way through your computer connected to your phone through the usb that you can turn on the usb debugging on your phone from your computer? Long shot I'm sure but it seems like if I could get that turned on I would be working in the right direction
are you getting into download mode on the phone itself and seeing the yellow triangle? you can flash the stock samsung firmware through odin which also unroots and then start over with rooting and such.
I would do what wto said. I have had odin fail multiple times because my drivers were not loaded correctly. Keep plugging away at it, and it might surprise you. Good luck, and sorry.....

Thank you all for being so helpful, really I appreciate it. Yes I can get to download and for the first time I was able to get those return to stock files to go through odin sucessfully but then it rebooted and then went into a different loop with just the samsung logo? In the post it said shut it down then and go into recover but I tried and it just goes right back into the loop? any idea from there?
I don't want to give you bad advice at this point. Honestly, this is my first Samsung device. You can still get into downlpad mode correct? If so, you are not completely screwed (hopefully). I will look around tomorrow, and see what I can dig up. At this point you know you can flash files with odin, so dont get careless at this point. I know how frustrating, and anxious you must feel. What a great learning experience, huh? My advice is to do as much research as possible. Getting late, so until tomorrow.

Did you flash the PIT file when you flashed the return to stock files? Which return to stock files did you flash? If you haven't already done this try flashing just the PIT files in Odin and see if that will work for you, if not then flash the alternative recovery ROM and the PIT together in Odin and see if that works.

If you can still get into download your phone will still be functional. I have a few questions.
1. What version of android were you rooted on?
2. Were you ever successfully rooted at any point?
3. Can you get your phone to be recognized in ODIN?
You shouldn't have to need USB debugging if you can get into download mode, for all I know download mode uses the same USB debugging properties as it is not in the OS yet.
Keep us posted and please don't leave out details in-case someone else comes around with a similar issue. If you do get something working, try to put a step-by-step on how you did it for future reference.
Great Learning experience for sure, I thought I was getting good at figuring out what I could and couldnt download lol..yes I'm extremely bummed and even more frusterated. I appreciate all the help and direction. I am truely sorry to even have to ask for help guys believe me. Yes I was rooted, yes I get recognized by odin in download mode and as for the version I was last on I am not sure exactly what I was on...i never got the latest update from verizon because I was rooted before that. So I rooted just after that verizon update that was the security patch I believe?? So I did the pit file with the root66 first and it keeps going all the easy tell the end of the download amd then fails...however I then did the pit with the stock restore and it passed, rebooted my phone then goes into a boot loop and I shut it down like it says in the directions and try to restart into recovery and it goes right back to the bootloop..its like I dont have a recovery set up or something anymore if thats possible?? I'm working now but ill be back to messing with it once I get off so any advice will be appreciated and put to use at 5mst...thanks again everuone
I am just thinking out loud, but if recovery is hosed, maybe you could run casual, and have it reinstall rhe custom recovery. I have no idea if this would work, but it is one way ro get a custom recovery back on. Still looking around for more info, but I dont want to brick your device completely.
Edit- You may try flashing twrp from odin. Here is a link to team.win's website, and download. Again, I am thinkong out loud, and none of my advise is bulletproof.

I dont know if i'm right about not having a recovery but I was thinking that to about casual but I tried and it won't even start cause I can't turn on usb debug??? Man I'm bummed
Check out my other suggedtion.

Try using ODIN and flashing the stock tar file. That should set you straight. You should be able to find what you need in the Android Dev section. If you are new to ODIN, open the app on your pc, click PDA, find the stock tar file, ensure "repartition" is unchecked and hit start. That should get you back to 100% stock. Do any applicable system updates and attempt the root process again. If you have any troubles look for qbking77's Note 3 root guide. Good luck. If all else fails I'd try a return and hope they don't know how to check for the flash flags.

Someone found a way to fix the galaxy 3's soft brick problem that was like this over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 I'm hoping someone creates those files for the Note3 so I can try it.

I had the same problem, flash CF-Auto-Root again
this happened on my 2nd day with my new note 3. had to exchange it. There was no way to fix it.
I had the same problem but I was able to get my phone to boot into recovery. I did a wipe data/factory reset and it worked afterwards.

Bricked note 3/help
Tried to root my NOTE 3 through Odin and instructions here and is bricked stuck at the screen below.. Anyone can help or recommend a repair place in NYC?
I had the same problem, except my problem was when I tried to restore nandroid back up....the root, and flashing of the rom went well.
I went to restore my nandroid back up, and it started bootlooping. This was the 2nd time this issue occurred, the first time downloading the tar resolved it. The second time it did not.
Nice dude..glad all worked out!

I can help you if you still need it
solved it by accident
Thanks so much for your reply and availability to help but after some hours of despair I read somewhere that Kies would be help and fiddled with the settings a bit and realized that I could download and restore factory settings through the software... Such a relief not ending up with a $800 paperweight!!! (and tought me a lesson not to trust just about any rooting direction posted here!!!)

As I'm on a Mac will try to reconstruct the scene
On Kies go to Tools and choose Firmware Upgrade and Initialization
After some prompts for inputing first the Model number and the S/N, Kies will start downloading the software and will prompt you when to connect your phone..
Very easy....

Where did you find the serial number? The numbers on the box and under the battery don't work for me so I can't get past that screen.

Well, that's exactly what I used what was below the battery and the box... without those you can't really move forward... does it give you an error when you log in with those?

Yeah says they're invalid serial numbers. I asked a buddy of mine to give me his numbers and I get the same error with his. I did the DEC number as both full XXXXXXXXXXXXX and XXX XXX XXX XXX etc ...
Neither work. Also tried with HEX. Guess I'm just seriously SOL.
