[Q] Is my phone bricked? Or do I still have a chance? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Plz Help if you can,
I have rooted my Verizon Note 2 and unlocked the boot loader and installed mean-bean - it worked awesome and should have stayed with it but everything went so well I wanted to try another ROM. The new ROM failed so I went back to mean-bean by selecting the backup I made on my sd card before I tried another ROM. My phone stuck on the "Samsung Note 2" boot up screen and never moved after mins. I did the "power + volume down + Power" and I get a warning asking me to press the volume up key to download a custom ROM or the volume down key to cancel. When I press the volume down button I get stuck at the Samsung note 2 screen, if I press volume up I get stuck at the downloading screen. When I connect the phone to my computer I can hear a ding in windows 7 64bit but am unable to see the device. I have read some of the forums and have downloaded a stock rom as suggested by several of them and oden 3.07. Oden does not show a com port as the posts suggest and my computer does not see the device. The forums that deal with not seeing your device says to download and install the latest usb drivers. I have re-downloaded the latest Samsung usb drivers and rebooted my computer. The computer still just makes a noise when i plug my phone in but does not see it in oden or in the computer. I have read so many forums and other peeps seem to still see their phone in oden. Maybe my phone is now trashed do I still have a chance or is it done. can anyone help a noob plz?
Thanks in advance.
Quick notes:
1: phone only boots to samsung note 2 screen
2: Phone will only go to download mode when I try to go to recovery
3: can hear ding on my computer when I connect but can't find see device
4: Oden does not see device

Try Odin 1.87

Thank you, but it still did not see the device, or at least the com port did not show anything. I can see it in my device manager though. Any other suggestions?

Open Odin up on your computer without phone plugged in. Power off the phone then plug it in and boot into download and see if that does anything.

Help! Is my phone bricked?

Well i was going to install a custom rom on my samsung galaxy sii sgh-i777. i placed the 2 zip files on the sd card. I was rebooting in clockworkmod and my phone fell and the battery was knocked lose. the phone lost power and when i tried to turn it back on it would show the "rooted" home screed sgh i-9000 i think? and then dimly flicker a couple of time after that screen like it was trying to load but couldnt. i can open odin mode only while connected to computer? i cant access the drives at all. anyone have any suggestions? anything would be great! Thank you!
So you can't get into recovery while holding volume up+ volume down + power? If not, try pulling the battery while the charging cable is plugged in, leaving it out for like 10 second then putting it back in and trying recovery again. If you can't get into recovery, you'll have to Odin back to something. Have you tried getting into download mode, just tho see if you can? Plug the phone into the USB port of computer, and hold the same buttons you normally would to get into recovery.

First are you sure you have an i777 and NOT an i727 skyrocket? Did the ROM flash and then you rebooted or you were just "rebooting in clockworkmod" If the ROM flashed are you sure you flashed an i777 ROM and not an i9100 ROM? Or did it stop in the middle of the flash? Where did you get the ROM from? I have a feeling you were on galxaysIIroot? More info I hope you can get some help here! GL

Its not finding a page for this link. ^
I have no idea what page that was supposed to be, but page ids are 8 digits, not 4
Anyway, you can use one of my guides for instructions on how to flash with odin. If you want to move toward custom firmware again, use the first one in the list in my signature.
Sorry ripture, not sure how/what happened with the link, but you're in better hands now with creepyncrawly's guides.
I had the same issue though it did not happen the same way. you have to go into download mode and use Odin to unroot and then root again. I'm not sure if u need to unroot but that's the way that I did it and everything works fine now. if you need help on how to do it just pm me.

Stuck on Boot Animation

I just recently downloaded SlimBean 3.1 and was trying to upgrade to that from 3.0. So I did my usual procedure: wipe, clear cache, format /system. Then I proceeded to installing Slimbean 3.1, then the kernel (Semaphore_JB_2.6.5sv) and finally the gapps for SlimBean. But the boot animation was taking too long (>10 minutes), when it usually doesn't when I install a SlimBean ROM, so I pulled the battery and repeated the process. Now I realized that once in a while (about 10 seconds) it would give a small vibration and on occasion when I retried to install, it would give me a 'Whoop' sound (when that happens, it's about every ~5 minutes). Anyone know what the problem is so I can fix it? Thanks!
Did you try getting it to boot, then go back and flash kernel?
I've felt the vibrations but never any sound. Don't know why that would happen.

Yeah I've tried getting it to boot many times.. I just tried flashing the Semaphore kernel over the ROM in CWM, no good. Still stuck at the SlimBean boot animation as always and there's still the vibrations every 10 or so seconds.
I'm trying to use Heimdall for the first time now to see if it can help solve my problem. I've just done the zadig thing, but now I'm not quite sure how to proceed, I don't know what to put in the Heimdall Firmware Package.
EDIT: S**t, I tried flashing a kernel via Heimdall, failed for some reason, and now it's bricked with the 'phone ! pc' icon, can't get into download mode with 3 button combo. I just keeps going back to the 'phone ! pc' icon, I think it might be hard bricked. Odin isn't reading my device. No luck with one click unbrick either...This is not my day..
Pull battery, connect USB then hold button combo while popping battery back in. (With Odin on obviously)

Thanks for the reply. I tried doing that, still a no-go. Popped battery out, removed sd card/sim, put usb in, held vol. up and down keys, popped battery in. It keeps going back to the 'phone ! pc' screen and Odin's still not reading my device. I really am afraid that this might be a hard brick rather than a soft brick..
You aren't hard bricked, if you were you'd see nothing. The goal now is to try and get DL mode.
Have you tried to run Odin even though it doesn't give com port? Don't know if that will work but try it.
Try only vol up or only vol down and see if that works.

^ what he said. Try the up button only after you plug in the USB.

I had better success with this one - Pull out battery, wait 10 sec, reinsert. Connect USB to PC port. While holding vol up & down, connect USB to the phone.
Are you on Froyo or GB bootloader?

I sure hope so.. I've tried inserted the stock eclair PDA in Odin, along with the s1_odin_20100512.pit file, clicked start and was presented with "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)". I think one of the reasons why Odin isn't recognizing my Vibrant is because of the drivers (even before the brick). I'm always presented with "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." The drivers I downloaded were the latest from Samsung's site.
I tried both, still went into the 'phone ! pc' screen. Also tried using USBDeview to uninstall the Samsung drivers, and then, as always, when I plug in the Vibrant, it gives me the message mentioned above where Windows doesn't recognize the device. It'll install some Unknown Device's drivers, which don't work. I thought it might have been the zadig thing I did for Heimdall, but I guess not.

Just tried, still went into the 'phone ! pc' screen. I believe I'm on the GB bootloader, it's been a while since I flashed a bootloader so I'm not quite sure, but since I managed to install SlimBean 3.0 before(required the GB bootloader), I'm assuming it's that.

Then you changed also the way you get to download mode. Instead of pressing both vol up & down, use ONE only, the volume up button. Don't give up, you will have to retry many times to get there, your phone is still OK.
Have you tried the Heimdall One-Click package? It was the only one that saved me many times (and long time ago, fortunately).

I couldn't get only vol. up or down to work. I have the one-click packager downloaded, but I don't know what to do with it. From the start it says 'Select a Heimdall tar.gz for one-click".
Heimdall One-Click has everything built-in, it doesn't ask anything. Go get it here, the official thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278683
Make sure it shows "package designed for SGH-t959" when open.

Thanks, I'd really appreciate it if you did. Hopefully before Tuesday, if I can't get anything to work in getting the Vibrant to boot to download mode, I might just have to ship it over to mobiletechvideos or something to install the unbrickable mod. That's also when I get my usb jig, so if that doesn't work either I'll send it in.

Thank you! Though, it's not recognizing the phone, still shows disconnected. Then again, it might be a problem with my computer drivers not seeing my device/installing incorrect drivers (i.e 'Unknown device' and 'Port Failed'. This will definitely prove useful if I do get it to go to download mode or for future problems, if I manage to get it fixed.

Try to uninstall the current USB drivers, reboot PC and then use Zadig from Heimdall suite (1.3 or 1.3.1) to install them. It perhaps will not recognize it as a phone, don't bother, it's enough to make it just visible to PC (check search all devices or something like that in preferences of Zadig).

I uninstalled all the drivers related to the Vibrant using USBDeview, like the blank unnamed driver and the 'Port reset' one, then rebooted. But it's still not visible as a device. I'll post a screenshot of this.
Here's what usually happens. If you take a look at the last line in USBDeview, that's usually what the Vibrant comes out to be, just a blank line with no description.

[Solved] Killed S5830i

I'm not sure what I did but now the S5830i will not go past the initial Samsung splash screen. I can't get into recovery or download modes using the usual keys.
I managed to get it into emergency download mode by holding down volume up + volume down + power and then putting the battery in, but the PC doesn't recognise the device (drivers are installed) and therefore ODIN doesn't pick it up either.
Suggestions please?
Man install new drivers and odin..
And see if it works...

S5830i - not recorgnised - win 7 SOLVED!
Hi All,
Just had a horrible day after I killed my little Ace flashing a CM ROM (my fault). Knew I needed to flash stock via Odin....
Went like this - collect all the stock rom files etc from various XDA forums. Thanks for those!
Go into download, open Odin.
"Device has malfunctioned, Windows does not recognise it".
I have 2 laptops running Win 10. and PC running Win 7. I have maybe 7 USB leads.
Went through every computer, every port, reinstalled all drivers every time, no joy. Poor little Ace stuck in download mode waiting. Nothing recognised it.
In some flash of inspiration I took phone OUT of download mode, wiped data, wiped cache and told it to reboot - this was stock recovery too, had fried CWM. It got stuck in it's Galaxy Ace screen as it had when it died....I plugged it in....and holy moly, Windows now recognised. The drivers finally installed successfully and Odin agreed with WIndows by recognising it in the COM box.
Yay me!
Thought I'd post since I've been fighting this all day and maybe it will help somebody else avoid that.
Cheers and good luck!

[Q] S2 stuck in ODIN Mode - Not recognized on computers

I had tried to update my phone via Kies and the computer blue screened. Now the phone is stuck on the ODIN Mode screen with a picture of my phone on the left, a yellow triangle in the middle, and a computer on the right. Taking the battery out does nothing, restarting does nothing, restarting while holding down the volume buttons does nothing. No matter what, it always comes back to this screen.
When I plug the device into my windows based PC and open ODIN, ODIN does not see my phone. When I plug it into my linux computer and run lsusb, it does not list my phone in the output, so the computer definitely isn't recognizing that my phone is plugged in. A couple of weeks ago, I had this problem while trying to back up the phone, so I'm not sure if it's related to the botched upgrade or not.
Does anyone have any tips or advice here? I'd really love to be able to use my phone again. I am using the cable that came with the phone. I have the same results with other cables, as well....
I'm happy to provide more information if needed. Just tell me what you need to know.
That screen is a form of download mode. You should be able to flash stock or stock plus root from there.

If this statement reflects what you actually did, then it suggests the wrong order. You must first open oden on the desktop, and then connect the phone to the computer in download mode.
Try that first.
Next you could try putting the phone into download mode with the battery pulled out. Open Odin on the desktop, then with the battery out, hold down the vol- button while plugging in the usb cable.
Thanks for your response.
So I went ahead and cleared out everything and then reinstalled the USB drivers. Opened ODIN, connected USB to computer, took battery out of phone, put battery back in, held down volume buttons and inserted the cord. The screen immediately loaded up the one I spoke of in my first post. Odin still did not recognize that I had my phone plugged in.
So then I installed Kies and went to the firmware restoration item under the tools menu. Entered my model and serial number and put my phone into recovery mode according to the instructions there, but the "Start Upgrade" button was grayed out and never became clickable.
One thing I did notice while doing this (On yet another new computer) is that when I plug in the phone, I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" error in Windows. I'm not sure if this is a result of it being in download mode or not, but I thought it worth mentioning. I did attempt to blow out my mini USB on the phone for good measure, but had the same result, even with another cord.
On ur Windows pc, did u try different usb ports ? And don't use a usb hub.

Yes, multiple ports on multiple PCs.
The port was working fine yesterday when the Kies update failed.
Have u tried using a Jig to get ur phone into download mode ??
(See my signature link below. There r links there on how to make a jig and/or where to buy one)

First of all make sure that your PC isnt running Kies in the background - Use Tsk Manager to kill Kies process
Then Plug In your Phone
Enter Download Mode by holding both volume buttons and powerbutton till the Boot Screen Appears.Let the power button go when you see the boot screen but keep holding the volume buttons.
In no time you'll be in Download mode
Then go to odin and check if your computer recognises it. Odin willl show you (Com:x) X - Any Number
Then you can easily flash stock rom or a custom recovery..

Then go to odin and check if your computer recognises it. Odin willl show you (Com:x) X - Any Number
Then you can easily flash stock rom or a custom recovery..

I have already made sure Kies is not running (And have tried this on a computer without Kies installed) and according to creepyncrawly in the second post here, the screen that I'm seeing IS download mode.

Again, according to creepyncrawly, this screen is a form of download mode. I am IN download mode already.

I had tried to update my phone via Kies and the computer blue screened. Now the phone is stuck on the ODIN Mode screen with a picture of my phone on the left, a yellow triangle in the middle, and a computer on the right. Taking the battery out does nothing, restarting does nothing, restarting while holding down the volume buttons does nothing. No matter what, it always comes back to this screen.
When I plug the device into my windows based PC and open ODIN, ODIN does not see my phone. When I plug it into my linux computer and run lsusb, it does not list my phone in the output, so the computer definitely isn't recognizing that my phone is plugged in. A couple of weeks ago, I had this problem while trying to back up the phone, so I'm not sure if it's related to the botched upgrade or not.
Does anyone have any tips or advice here? I'd really love to be able to use my phone again. I am using the cable that came with the phone. I have the same results with other cables, as well....
I'm happy to provide more information if needed. Just tell me what you need to know.

I tried everything you did, and the only way I got Odin to recognize my phone was use a USB jig to get it into the download mode other people are talking about

I'm definitely open to making one, but I'm confused since everything I'm reading says that the screen I described IS download mode, just with a different screen. Are you saying that you had the exact same situation as me and a Jig fixed it?

You could order one fairly inexpensive. But order it or make it still takes some time. But as several have mentioned, it may help.
Did you try forcing download mode with the battery out as I suggested in the second post?
Yes, I have tried forcing download mode by taking the battery out, holding down Vol and inserting it again. These are also the instructions that Kies gives, but it didn't work there either.

My phones update failed and I got the same phone, triangle, computer. I tried different USBs, different USB ports, different computers, tried Odin, nothing worked. As soon as I found my USB jig that was lying around, and plugged it in before I put in the battery, and the regular download mode which I am used to seeing showed up. ODIN recognized the phone and I flashed back to stock ICS rooted I downloaded from XDA.

Good enough for me. I'll give that a shot tomorrow.
Thanks for your help.

That's different that what I suggested. Remove the battery and leave it out. If you have to, sit on it so you won't be tempted to put it back in, lol. While holding vol down button, plug in the usb cable. The usb will supply the power. The phone should boot into download mode.

I guess I misread that. I blame it on my stressful week ending with no phone
So I just did that and boom, download mode as I would expect loaded up first time, no issues after I held down both Volume buttons while plugging it in (Holding down just Vol - didn't do anything). Unfortunately, it still did not show up in Odin (Kies background processes were all killed and USB driver IS installed on this computer and Odin WAS open before I plugged the phone in)
So I unplugged, opened Kies, and was going to try a restore through there since I could finally get download mode working properly. Except when I tried it this time, nothing happened. I held down the vol buttons, plugged it in, got a single vibrate, but nothing showed up on the screen. Unplugged, put the battery in, and it turned on and screen worked. Took out the battery and just plugged it in and the screen worked after vibrating 6 short pulses (It pulled up the screen mentioned in my first post). Unplugged, held down vol buttons and plugged it in, same thing. Blank screen.
Now I'm really at a loss. I'm starting to wonder if there is something wrong with my USB port on the phone itself.

Hi there,
i have same problem with my Galaxy ACE GT-S5839i: i can't get ODIN to detect my phone. Originally, i tried to flash my phone and made a mistake in the process (installed a ROM before i installed CWM). This caused my phone to stop booting. The only thing remaining working is the download mode. But i can't get ODIN to detect. I tried 2 PCs, different USB ports; i tried to install Kies, or just the drivers... nothing makes ODIN detect my phone... I hear my PCs detects the phone when in download mode (it bips) and my PCs both recognized my phone (Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device). On PC uses windows 7 and the other Windows Vista. I ran ODIN v4.38 on both... Would be grateful for any idea what to do...

I had the same problem with kies on a sprint s2. EXACT same problem. Cord got jerked out in the middle of Odin flash. THE ONLY screen i could get is the one you described.
Also went through the steps with keis, dl firmware, got to the last part but the start button was greyed out. I had to do this several times and finally the start button lit up. Idk why it didn't work before but it finally did. Have you tried doing it more than once?
I wished i could be more help but that was my experience. Maybe it will work for you.

HELP! undetected VZW Note 2 rooted has "unauthorized software" triangle of death
Hi guys!
So basically my probably that i need help getting back to stock.. my computer is not recognizing the device.. neither is KIES.
I know the solution is to flash back to stock in ODIN but I can't use ODIN if the computer won't recognize my phone in the first place
I was trying to flash clockwork recovery with ROM manager when this happened and (stupid me) forgot im only rooted and NOT unlocked!
Ive tried re installing drivers via KIES as well as through SAM MOBILE. No Luck!
Im pretty panicked!
any help would be great thanks!

Take a deep breath.
Pull the battery from your phone. Then put the battery back in. Push the home button, volume down button and power buttons make sure that you hold all of these. This will turn your phone on to 'download mode' This is compatible with kies and odin and will let you reflash your firmware.

Use a different computer.
Did you try reinstalling the samsung driver? Did you try a different usb port? Did you try and use a different usb cable? Do not pass go do not collect 200.00 until you have tried all of the above.
Don't forget. ...reboot the computer after all of the above and try again. Sometimes just rebooting the computer solves connection issues.

I fixed it! I flashed the wrong image. since I was previously on 4.3 I tied the 4.3 image and it passed in Odin. Success!
Re-rooted...not unlocked
I still have the Knox counter unfortunately.
