You can flash any stock ROM via mobile odin.
Still, you should be able to plug it to the PC.
You're not using the s2 cable, are you?

Its stuck on download mode, when i take the battery out it stays on samsung galaxy s2 boot writing , i flashed the I9100XXKI3 kernel to free me from the bricked page where it has a little yellow triangle with the phone and pc picture in the middle
looks too much mess up and you took wrong step in panic..
You should not have flashed a Kernel to get rid of bricked screen (phone!PC), you have to get download mod and falsh complete ROM that time...
you told your Running ROM was 2.3.6 but KI3 is an old version...

Try to use Heimdall. Maybe that works.
You say you dont have Kies. Download kies. Run it and it will install the drivers. Close Kies. Make sure its not running in the background. Install your original firmware that came with the phone using Odin. If your in download mode, your not bricked.

Ok a buddy of mine last night started rooting my phone using the (How to Root AT&T Galaxy Note SGH-i717! [ICS][Gingerbread][Easiest Method]) he made it through the first part of puting the cwm on it. then when he tried to connect the phone via usb, to transfer superuser, the compter would not recognize my phone. so he could not go anyfurther do to the time we had left. so i tried to go home and finish up on the computer, since i figured the hard part was over. Now my computer does not recognize it either. ive tried re-downloading the drivers and downloading kies. and still nothing.
so my question is, can i finish rooting with out a computer and if not, what can i do?

I've assumed you followed direction got a rooted kernel using odin then install superuser, from that then use odin again to flash cwm.
Are you in download mode on your Note?
"1. Turn off your phone and uplug it. Take the battery out of your phone, put it back in, and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time. Keep them held down until the phone starts buzzing and you see the Samsung name.
2. At this point you are either in download mode or the phone will tell you to hit volume up, at which point you'll be ready."
IF not working, recommend starting from scratch
Use this first to get back to stock

you would download the drivers from the desktop. Either way if you plug in while doin ia open and you see something highlighted in yellow then odin is recognizing. If tgats the case follow instructions on rootgalaxynote.com to odin back to stock then redo root. Follow the instructions very carefully especially the part about factory reset

because the computer would not recognize phone after installing cwm
Try using a different cable or different USB port our maybe even a different computer and see if you can have a different setup recognize your phone. In the man time, read the tutorials at the top of the general section to get up to speed if your friend is not there to help anymore.

I don't think he has super user so he might not be able to delete it. If he can't connect at all and odin doesn't recognise then he ia in a tight spot. If you can get into cwm by holding the power button and vol up and down, try wiping everything factory cache div. Cache then fix permissions. If that and the drivers being ddownloaded did not work i sure hope you have an att warranty or have only had the fone for 30 days. If you take it back to the retailer and act like its stock they will never know or care. Try to get a guy who is an iphone fanboy if you get and android wiz you could be out of luck

Question is did you tried to reconnect using odin?
At what point does the computer not recognize? in android or Odin?
Can you even boot into android?
If possible give us a screenie of where you are at!

this is the rason why u dont let friends do this kind of thing for u!! it is something u must learn..u may have bugs here and there and if u have no clue how to fix it ur %[email protected] so i would say undo all that he did then start fresh...use odin 1.85exe go find the att recovery b4 file plug in to odin click pda find where u put the recovery file that u DL put it in the pda box then u should be good to go
Ok ill make this so simple. You need to start over from the top. I would suggest going on YouTube search for how to root the Att galaxy note. Just watch it. Its a good way to learn odin. Then search Att galexy not recovery. This way you have a visual step by step. That's how I did it I watched it then followed along. I read all the comments (if any) in the comment section. Trust me it so much easier that way cuz you can stop and compare screens and such or stop and replay parts that u need.

If you can't access a computer.
I'm writing this because as I understand it, your friend was SUCCESSFUL at getting CWM on and just not root. If your phone is working otherwise, then try this.
With the phone turned OFF
Hold down BOTH volume buttons and turn the phone ON
When you see the Samsung logo appear LET GO of both volume buttons.
If you have CWM installed right you should be at the CWM menu, offering various options, just select REBOOT SYSTEM and post back here and let us know if CWM is in fact installed correctly.
i am currently on rooted stock firmware and want to go to some 4.0.3 ics UNBRANDED firmware, do i need yes or yes clockworkmod ? or i can simply flash the pda .md5 file with odin and thats it ? thanks

when you boot into download mode, you have to press the volume up button to bypass the warning screen. That is when Odin will be able to see your device

I'm not sure about Mac but for windows just flash a kernel with cwm and install the ROM. Easy as that. Didn't need a pit file. USB jig helps to force your phone into download mode. Although I think its unlikely it will work...

Have tried all three USB ports in my laptop but still the same and yes, I am in download mode. One thing I can add and I don't know if it has anything to do with it is, on the top left the custom binary is a NO. I'm really new at this. One more question if my phone is being recognized by laptop when I plug it in like it appears as a portable device on My Computer it means that the USB drivers are installed and correct, right?

custom binary has nothing to do here buddy. first you need to root the phone using CF-ROOT method. and flash the philz recovery.zip from CWM recovery that comes after flashing with CF-ROOT. later you will be able to flash any custom rom through philz recovery.
step1: open odin
step2: put phone in download mode(volume down+home+power)
step3: connect phone via usb
step4: odin recognizes the phone
step5: cf-root and the following methods stated at the beginning

I think I know the problem now. Odin is not recognizing my phone when its on Odin mode. I tried 3 different USB cables already but just the same. I tried to what you said but Odin is simply not recognizing my phone.

do you have kies installed on your laptop? if yes, stop it running in the background from task manager. if this is not the problem, try another laptop or pc.

I checked the task manager and KIES is not running and its not even installed. I guess I need to try a different laptop or PC.

yes you need to. also try restarting your laptop.
Sounds more like no drivers installed. Try installing kies to get the drivers and then ensure it's not running in the background. That should solve your problem.

Do all of the above and if none of that works try older version of Odin....I have had problems before with newer version of Odin and found that some of the older versions work well.
