I know someone will eventually tell me to do a search, but I have and can't make any sense of most of the so called guides. What I have been finding is for the international version, or some generic crap that don't really help me. My phone is stuck on the Samsung logo when you try and power it on. I really need to fix this!!! I did SIM unlock it, rooted it, and installed OnlyOne ICS because I got tired of waiting for slow a$$ ATT to get the ICS update out. Anyhow, the phone worked great for 2 months and now this morning it kept saying, blah blah has crashed, etc. So I rebooted the phone and lord behold, the stupid thing won't work anymore. The only thing I can do with it is hold the power button and down volume button to get to the "Odin Mode". Other then that, the phone is useless. I would love to find some guide that is more specific on fixing this problem? Maybe I over looked one, but I am at work and don't have the time to search thru hundreds of threads, etc. I will when I get home, but really need to fix the phone ASAP since I use it for work too. Any info would be awesome.
I think your talking about Download mode.

If you can get into download mode (odin mode) just flash the attstock Rom to unroot.
Go to rootgalaxynote.com and click the upper right hand corner where it says uroot and follow the directions. Works great for me used it multiple times.

I do appreciate the quick responses, but I'm about to head out and will try to re-flash it later. I am just concerned about the data / pictures, etc I have on the phone itself. I know I can pull the 16gb sd card I have and it will be safe, but if I use the ODIN way to re-flash to stock, will it erase all my content I have? I thank god I have a MyTouch 4g as a backup, but all my work related stuff is on my Note, so I am really up a creek right now without it.

If you unroot all of the data stays on your note. No worries. Good luck
Just one thing, when you unroot and it is finished the att logo will come up with the "rethink possible" after that just go into Samsung recovery and reboot from there.
It doesn't say that on the website.

I got it to work when I got some time. I used a Wi-Fi connection at MacDonalds and downloaded the onlyone beta 5 rom. Thank god I had my laptop with me also. I was on beta 4 but I also got into clockwork mod and fixed permissions & cleared cache. Then went and flashed the new rom, hoping my data and installed apps would still work. Well my phone is working great again. Thanks for the info and keep up the good work!

Hi Guys, I am new to android and one of my friends convinced my to root my thunderbolt. I did it and everything worked fine, then i flashed many different roms on to it using rom manager. I kept flashing roms because none of the roms I flashed would let me connect to mobile network. (I used the mr2 radio) So then I "tried" to flash just the thunderstick 3.0 lockscreen, because i thought it wasn't like a full rom, and everything was normal but then when it was out of recovery mode and the HTC logo came on everything looked fine. But after that the wallpaper of the 3.0 lockscreen came and nothing else the 3.0 ring didnt come or anything else. It just froze on the wallpaper. the only thing i could do was put it to sleep and turn it back on. I tried to press the power button and the volume down button at the same time, but nothing happened. I also took the battery out and put it back it in and it froze on the wallpaper again, just like the last time. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
P.S - I'm sorry if some stuff i said didnt make much sense, I'm really new to this.
Flash a workin nandroid, and try chingys new radio leak, if that doesnt get your radio workin you probly need a new sim card

I would, but when I connect the phone to my computer, nothing happens!
Since your pc doesn't recognize you phone, pull the sd card out, and then put a rom on it. One that you know will work. Delete any PG05IMG.zip file off the root of the ad card. Then put the sd card back in, put your battery in, and boot into the bootloader by holding volume - and power button. If you can boot to the bootloader, select the recovery, and wipe data /cache / and dalvik. Then flash your rom. If you can get your rom to boot and still have not data connection, reflash a radio.

Ahh finally some good news, I just got of the phone with Verizon and they said that they would send a new phone to me by mail!! ohh yeah I couldn't do what n8theshredder said, because my computer (2010 macbook pro) doesn't have a place for a micro SD card, but anyways i really appreciate you guys trying to help!!
You requested a replacement phone because you flashed a problematic lockscreen? wow
So many ways this could have been fixed.
I realize you said you had radio problems but I'm not convinced you ever actually installed the correct radio for whatever rom you flashed. Eh...guess it's too late to fix your problems now.
Question about sending it back to Verizon. Can't they tell you rooted it? Doesn't that void the warranty? I'm having similar problems and I'd love to send it back, but I don't want to pay full price just yet. If you get this posting, could you reply and let me know how it went?
Hell claim a lost phone and I will take it off your hands, phone is still perfect.

Hello,
I recently got a friend's old Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) from Verizon, SCH-I500 EH03. This is the first Smart Phone I ever owned and I wanted to join the bandwagon, long story short I read xda-developers.com for a couple of days trying to absorb as much as I could and after all my faulty USB Cable messed it all up.
I was updating PIT and PDA through ODIN, Powerwashed and Atlas when my USB Cable got a little bit loose, I tried to put it back it and unfortunately it came out of the device, Odin errored out, phone froze and I got a Green Screen, not knowing what was going on and out of desperation and bad judgement I pulled the battery out.
Now I get a black pitch screen with no icons on it, Ive already researched for Soft Bricked and I do not get the Black Screen of Death, this is just Black. Computer doesn't recognizes phone at all, I've trying holding power button for a long time, removing battery or just using USB Cable but nada.
I' did some research on the Jig mod but it seems that it only works if you get at least something on the screen while all I get is a black screen.
I'm about to try to attempt doing this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206216 - The Captivate Development Platform AKA Unbrickable Mod.
Before I do so I'd like to know if there is any other alternative, I don't have much experience on electronics and I'm going to purely base my judgement and fix on the thread above me. I realized that my phone might be gone for good so why not give it a last try.
Thanks in advance for reading.

First of all you don't know nearly enough information. To have done that you always take your battery out before odining because it works better that way but none the less I will make it my goal too get you fixed. DO NOT SKIP ANY OF THIS . now first off go too the Samsung satire or whatever and buy you a Samsung USB cable made for your phone too lessen the chances of bad things happening now turn on Odin 1.3 you can find that anywhere on the web just search when you run Odin run it as admistator plug in your phone with the USB cord WITH THE BATTERY OUT and hold the volume down button it will show a symbol it can be any kind its just going too show a symbol now it will install device drivers or whatever and Odin will recognize it by showing a little yellow rectangle u deer one of the com's now put the atlas 2.2 pit in the pit section chackmark PDA put the powerwashed.tar in there AND CLICK REPARTICIAN YES CLICK IT. And now press start. Wait for it too finish it may take up too 20 in too flash factory.fs JUST WAIT IT WILL CONTINUE ITS SLOW. Now then when it says PASS unplug your phone from the USB put back in the battery hold the power button it will power up and do something release the power button it will do its thing then power up into power washed and there ya go YOUR PHONE IS UNBRICKED!!!!

Hello,
Thanks for the response.
I did try to run Odin without the battery but the phone wouldn't even turn on at all, Id like to think this was caused because the Cable I used was a generic one and not the Original Samsung one, I have ordered one Online from Ebay, one that is Branded Samsung and specially for this Phone, I will update this thread as soon as I get it and try your steps.
Once again thanks for your help.

I must admit it man, I knew you knew your stuff, but I had my doubts, Thanks a lot for your help, I'm truly grateful for your help. My phone is unbricked now.
I got a couple of questions for you if you don't mind,
Id like to have newest android but I'm not sure if this phone can support it, you seem to have the same phone number as I do.. what version of Android do you run.
And last but not least.. is it true that since the phone was vberizon and I want to use a different carrier I can only use the Voice Plan for it?, Data plan won't work on rooted phones unless I go to the original carrier, is this a myth or true?
Thanks once again for the amazing help, I'm truly happy!

Np This phone is one of the most supported phones out there and the fastest. Right now I'm getting performance as good as the galaxy s3. This phone can run ICS, jellybean, and even the new 4.2. Jellybean ROMs run the smoothest though. Just look and droidsytles guide section 4 it will tell you everything. I also have couple of ROMs up. Also it is a myth.

They have reset my Android OS back to stock... but phone finally works I guess is a good thing, if I want to go back to JB Paranoid Android 4.1 would I have to reactivate again after following Droidstyles guide? or can I just do the 4th steep and the phone will be ready to go.

If you should need to do it dial *22890 or *22891
That will get you past having to input a number option to activate

Almost perfection!.
Two more questions,
1- Is there anytihg else I would need to do, load a rom or tweak so DATA works? , I've activated my phone and Voice works perfectly fine, I can also send text messages and WIFI works.
2- Somehow my phone still thinks is with Verizon Wireless for some stuff such as Google Play Store it gives me the option to Add a Card, Redeem Code or Charge my Verizon Account?
Also when I turn on the phone the bottom of Jelly Bean Menu to unlock the phone shows Verizon Wireless, is this normal?

Hello All!
Let me start off by saying that this is by far the most frustrating situation that I have ever experienced as I am in the IT field. Lets be honest, reboot usually fixes everything, EXCEPT for this problem.
About 3 or 4 weeks ago, my daughter was watching a YouTube video on her player. She fell asleep and the player ran out of juice and died that wonderful death that all electronic devices do when their life support is terminated. The next morning, my daughter tries to turn it on and naturally it won't power up as it needs to be charged.
She charges the player and attempts to turn it on and its getting the whole 'We're going to pretend to boot up, but we're going to give false hope, get to the Samsung screen, show her who's boss and shut down again. Then! - to really get under her skin, we're going to do it from now until eternity ends'.
Therefore, being the good little troubleshooter that I am, I opened it up, took out the battery, removed the SD chip, waited a little while, put the battery back in and pressed power with my fingers crossed.
Nothing. Same eternal reboot.
So, I start trolling Google... cuz we all know that if you can't find it on Google, it be broke beyond repair.
I go all over the net, to places I never even knew existed :silly:, to dark, deep, scary places of tech expertise I never knew existed. However, despite all of that, I have not located an answer that fixes my problem.
She got this player refurbished and there is no real warranty. So...this is something that I'm going to have to fix for her. If it were a MS server, I'd have this solve, wiped my hands of it and on about my way. Why is it that the smarter the electronics get, the dumber I feel?
At any rate, does anyone have an ideas for this issue and if they do, is there a step-by-step instruction I can find? Active Directory this is NOT! LOL
Turn off and charge for a few hrs. Then try again.
Also try holding power and volume up to boot into recovery and do a wipe data and cache.

I tried that, both. I only got some sort of somewhere when I decided to see if maybe using the DOWN volume button got me anywhere. Now it's just sitting on an android screen saying 'Odin Mode' and that it's downloading, do not turn off.
Um... how long is it supposed to be on this screen? (0.o) I've never seen anything sit on a screen like this for more than a few minutes...?
Hello, I am a noob here. I also have the same boot loop problem described. I took it back to the big box store purchased at to no avail I will be scouring any way to recover this device! I appreciate any advice. I have a Samsung player 3.6 with no micro sd installed. I get to the Samsung page and it turns off and restarts the Samsung page. I have not flashed anything before but am willing and eager to learn and can be fairly handy. I appreciate any help.

I am having the exact same problems
Any more news on a fix for this issue? My daughter's SGP 3.6 just did the same thing. It's running factory ROM. I have no idea where to go from here. It's now a paperweight.
Please don't beat me with the n00b stick :crying: but this is my first attempt at unlocking/flashing my note2 and only the second time I've ever attempted to root a device (first was a droid x).
I've looked around but I'm just not able to find anything that describes the issue I'm having.
Items im using:
Donate version of the Skipsoft toolkit for note2
CASUAL rooting program
Odin v3
Verizon Note 2 running 4.1.2 AMC3
The problem I'm having is I want to reflash the stock image back to the phone making it out of the box new. The problem is, when I'm in odin, according to the directions from SKipsoft, the box under id:comm should be blue. It's not.. when I choose the file to flash under the PDA, and click start, nothing happens other than all threads completed successfully 0 of 0. the phone goes into the download mode just fine but it won't do anything else.
The phone is rooted but I've noticed some bugs in the performance of the phone since I've rooted it, and I want it to go back to stock as it is getting annoying as heck to keep pulling the battery or having the phone lock up and power itself off randomly.
If this is the wrong forum, I am so sorry! I'm a n00b with 0 posts and I cant post in the actual thread for the toolkit I'm using . I would be ever grateful for some help or options as how to fix my device.
Thank you all of xda as you have been a big help when I was using my droid x, I didn't have to join then because I never ran into problems. I was hoping it was going to be easy and straight forward for me this time, but it seems verizon has hidden a few gotcha's in the phone.

This should explain everything everything you need. Your issue sounds like a driver issue, so just Google "galaxy note 2 drivers" and download them from the Samsung page. This sounds like a relatively simple issue so keep us posted if this works.

Nowadays it's near impossible to brick a device, almost all devices can come back from issues like this.

oh believe me, if there's a way for it to get screwed up, i'm sure i'll figure it out! usually how my luck rolls.
now if I could get just stock jelly bean on my device, without all of the touchwiz stuff i'd be ok.. but then again i'd probably loose some of the features ive come to enjoy like s-pen n such
After scouring for two days I am just giving up and asking for help. Here is what happened. I have a At&t Galaxy Note. It was rooted but very glitchy. Kept shutting off, weird lines going through the screen, my camera didnt work. I know for that process I did TWRP and cyanogenmod. I went back to att stock from a forum found here. After I did that I had no google apps anywhere. SO my brother found some gapps.zip thing. He put it on my phone after I had restored back to a previous version that did have them. Now my phone wont stay on for longer than a minute. I cant get it to recognize on my computer. So I cant even try to get into it to see if I can fix anything. Everytime I conntect it, a message pops up that says that it cannot install MTP... Even if I restore again, as I have tried. It is still not letting me use it. Then my brother decided to re root it I guess. And that is all well and fine but i still cant use my phone. I saw something about a .zip that removes gapps but I havent been able to use that as my phone just wont install it in recovery mode. Can someone please please help me!!!!

wow. the first few sentences were making sense, then you just lost it grammar wise and lost me. it would have helped knowing what ROM was on your phone. from symptoms it sounds as if t was a 4.2 ROM with no GAPPS and some serious OC/UV issues.
but you lost me with your English and the "TWRP and CYANOGENMOD thingy" i know what they are obviously, but what you did with them is a HUGE guessing game. one person not knowing what they are doing is bad enough, but two of you.......... cant do that man. kind of like masturbating with someone elses hand man. who cleans up the mess.
absolute clean slate is going to be you best option in my opinion. the "Super Everything Thread" is going to be your new best friend.
read it, live it, learn it......................understand it. put yourself in position to help yourself first.
tutorals on YOUTUBE can help too.
can you get DOWNLOAD MODE?
do you have ODIN?
do you have PDA/ TAR files you need?
you may need to re-install the DRIVERS for phone on computer
there is a glossary in Super thread, that is why i capped these words. key points and things you need to do. its a marathon not a sprint.
go slow, one step at time, understand what you are doing. even rehearse it, i did. be confident in what you are doing. make sure you have files for I717.
read the OP's for ROM's
some need GAPPS (4.2) and some don't (4.1.2) or Touchwiz
the new 4.3 will also need GAPPS and there are 4.2 and 4.3 GAPPS. again make sure you have right files. all the more reason to take your time.
and uh, don't just let someone flash whatever on your phone, that's how you get a BRICK.
good luck and let us know.
if i have stated anything wrong, someone else will be buy to correct.
nothing wrong with how i am telling, others just may have shortcuts.
what you do with it is up to you, i just like to understand what i am doing, cause i will have to fix it.
but keep us posted

Im sorry, Im just really frustrated. My phone was working fine yesterday and now its a very expensive paperweight. And not only that but Im having problems with my laptop. Apparently the hard drive just went clonkers for no reason and now I have to put in a new one. Yes I can get into download mode. Yes I have Odin. Yes I have the PDA/TAR files. I made sure everything was for the sgh i717. I read each process ten times before I did it. I installed my drivers from the Samsung website. I think my problem is that the internal sd card isnt being recognized. When I go into recovery mode, which is CMW btw, it gives me an eemc 07 error message and says it cant mount. When I can get my phone to stay on long enough for thecpu to recognize it it doesnt say sd card just phone memory. I will be sure to read the super everything thread. As for a ROM there isnt one on here. If I try to put one one it wont install and keeps saying that eemc 07 error message. Thanks for responding. Im spiraling in self-pity right now but im determined to get my phone back.
If you get it back to stock, do a complete erase/format, and your still having all these glitches, there's a good chance there's hardware issues. Especially if your not able to see the external SD card etc.
If your the original owner (I.E. you got it from a dealer with a plan), and you can get your counter reset to 0 on stock with these issues still showing up, it might be easiest to take it in and get a replacement. That is, if you have a warranty option available.

Its not the external sd but the internal one. Its just gone... I know that this is the problem at this point. But I have no idea how to resolve that issue. I have no idea where it is or how to get it back. I have been on xda and droidforums for an extreme amount of time trying to find a solution but nothing going. The only way I have seen to reset my counter is to use triangle away. As I cannot even use my phone due to freezing and restarting I cannot even install that app. I am hoping that one person in the wide world has had this problem and fixed it and will read this and tell me how to fix it.
Status 7 means you need to update you recovery

Thanks for all the help. Took it it AT&T. Now my phone is working properly if a slight bit laggy. But at least its working.

so where are you at then?
what does your phone show as running?
settings/about phone
are you just going to leave it or are you still going to pursue customizing?

I'm running 4.1.2 now. I will not be customizing like that for some time. I might think about it later but I'm so glad to have it back I'm just going to enjoy it for awhile.

you know, something going wrong with mine was my biggest worry. when I decide to screw something up, I can really screw something up. so I was very hesitant. it probably took me 2-3 months to get the courage to flash. but that was most likely a good thing. it made me be very thorough in the process.
all I am saying is don't let it completely discourage you. you have time.
glad you got phone back, I know it can be a bit of a scary thing. I have come across an issue or two myself and actually surprised myself by fixing myself. actually a pretty good feeling.
anyway, stick around, there are some pretty amazing folks here.
