After installing TWRP restore via Goomanager (on the play store) I pressed reboot to restore. the phone rebooted to to download mode. I Pulled the battery for 40+ seconds, and pressed the power button, but whatever I do, the phone keeps booting into download mode.
Is it possible to factory reset my phone via Odin?
Phone:
Samsung galaxy S4 sch-I545
Thanks,

Yeah you can do that but dont try installing a recovery again. Im betting youre on me7, and currently its only rootable. No recovery.
When you said factory reset I thought you meant restore. But no, you cant reset via odin. You can turn your phone off and then use the key combo to boot into odin. Itll ask to confirm or deny booting and if you deny your phone will boot normally. Everytime you restart yoll have to do this so eventually youll have to restore through odin.

Did you try booting into recovery? If you get into recovery try rebooting back to system. Hopefully the phone will boot up normally. You could also do a factory reset if you do get into recovery.
I am having a similar issue -- I am stuck in download mode after attempting TWRP installation. Odin is not responding to my phone once plugged in (only says "connecting"). I am unable to enter recovery mode and am not sure what I should try next. Any suggestions?
This is a new S4 on verizon -- I545/ME7

You cant enter recovery because you overwrote the stock one and youre unable to flash/use a custom one because me7 blocked it. There might be a stock recovery posted on the forums but i havent seen one yet. I would try a different usb port, if youre using a pc a few people have had trouble with the front ports. If youre on win 7 try granting admin rights. Try a different pc. Try a different cable are some solutions.

I see -- I meant Kies was not connecting to the phone in my previous post (not odin). If I am unable to get it to respond, is the best way to restore to a stock phone using Odin?

I have never used kies so cant really say anything about that. But ya odin is best way to restore a phone to stock in my opinion. Like I said There might be an me7 stock recovery posted and that should fix your problem.

This is undoubtedly my solution as I did not do enough research before I tried to flash TWRP while running ME7. I'm a complete noob on this forum and when you say dev section, me7 stock; well, I still have no clue how to find it. I would be extremely grateful if someone could take their time and post a link. Thank you guys. Just switched back from iOS and look forward to becoming a part of the android community!

hold the power button and the down volume key and it should ask you if you want to install a custom os or not and then you just hit cancel and it will boot regularly

If you upgraded to MJ7 that link will not help you. You need to Odin a MJ7 stock. I had to do it last night problem is you will lose root. You cant flash back to anything yet if you were on MJ7.

get out of downloading loop
I have read all the different ways to get out of a downloading loop with ME7 and none of them worked for me. however, i did find another way that did work.
if your phone boots to downloading every time you boot. I came up with this method. I can only attest that it worked for me.
1. At the downloading screen, plug your phone into your computer
2. Run Odin (I used Odin3 v3.09)
3. Uncheck auto reboot and F. Reset Time
4. Select PIT and load a .pit fil ( I used a file called "SCH-I545.pit" that I downloaded from these forums)
5. Click Start
It will fail and your Message box will look like this

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
<ID:0/005> Removed!!
6. Now uplug your phone from the computer and reboot.
The only explanation I can come up with is that the partition file info gets corrupted or lost and doing this either rewrites the partition info file or tells the system where to look for it. I could be wrong but it is the only thing that works for me.
good luck!
THANX!!
FIXED!!! thank you, i registered here just to say thanks for posting this. Ive been looking for hrs. and this was all I had to do the whole time. great solution for being stuck on the downloading screen with errors....thank you!!! I thought I ruined my new phone! =D lol:good:

Apparently for my phone, when I hold Home + Volume UP + Power, it still gives me the Boot Screen with the triangle.
IT DOES NOT ENTER INTO RECOVERY MODE.
Any suggestion?
try the manover after removing(and putting back offcourse) the battery for a copple of minutes
you mean swapping the battery out and back in for a few times?

If I'm not mistaken, I try superoneclick. And then it hangs there. From there onwards I couldn't enter Recovery mode. Worst part is, I don't even remember my kernel version or what type of firmware. All I know that it's 2.3.4 android stock.
Maybe ask in the superoneclick thread. Hopefully you'll get more specific answers to your problem. Best of luck.

As you can still get into DL Mode (but can't flash a ROM), how about trying one of Chainfire's rooted modem ?
Can be flashed via Odin & make sure all KIES is closed, as well as anything in PC Task Manager
This will automatically root your device and install the CWM Recovery (not ROM Manager compatible),............... Then you may be able to access Recovery to factory reset / wipe cache & dalvik and try rebooting (which can take up to 5-10mins).
If still no luck, back into CWM Recovery and try flash a custom ROM of your choice (flashable zip, do not extract) straight from the sdcard. Cognition is highly recommended.
As you don't know the original baseband #, not sure which to try, but the first goal would to be able to boot into CWM (since you can't or having trouble flashing with Odin)
Sorry, no more ideas, but if you decide to try, follow his instructions exactly.
I've tried the CF kernels. I've downloaded every single Kernel and flash with it. Still no luck.
But I've send my phone to Samsung Center. Even the technician is puzzled. He'll look into the matter of my phone and solve it in a day time.
I've post updates here once I get back my phone.
You going to have to pay or did you clear rom counter and reset to stock .
jje
Well, I couldn't do anything since I cannot even access to erase any counter number.
Hopefully they STILL don't charge me.
Apparently they called me today, saying my phone would take another day or two.
JJ means the usb jig. Power off phone, insert, boots automatically into DL mode resetting custom counter and removing the warning triangle.
As you don't seem to really know about it, you probably haven't? After reset, you could have just played dumb, claiming it got screwed during a Kies update. Never mind, too late now.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Nope. I didn't bought the USB JIG and I should get one soon. Haha.
OH well, too late for now.

UPDATE:
I've sent the phone to service on the 26 Sept. And they told me that it'll be ready by 2th Octo. According to the technician, they're waiting for a PART to arrive to be replace. No info was given on what part.
WOW, I didn't know hardware was involved in this case. It's rather rare to me.
UPDATE 2 :
F**KED.
My SGS2 is the i9100G model.
No wonder it stuck at Boot Screen S with Yellow triangle.

Greetings.
I know this forum can get quite annoyed with posts being repeated and the same question being asked many times over.
I would just like to say that I have searched this forum for the problem I have, however either the posts are beyond my knowledge or not directly related to my issues. If I have missed something please let me know.
First things first. My phone.
I have an International Samsung Galaxy S3
It is running Stock JellyBean 4.1.1 (O2 UK)
It has been rooted with Odin. (I only rooted because I wanted to use Titanium Backup). It has been rooted successfully for about 3 weeks.
I wish I could give the exact firmware and other figures but I can't access them on my phone.
The Problem
Today whilst working at my desk I decide to check my phone but when I look at it there is a message being displayed that states "Encryption Failed". There is some text saying that I need to factory reset my phone and then, below that is a reset button. I press the reset button, the phone reboots to exactly the same screen. I press it again... And again... And again.
Now it boots into CWM-based recovery. Figuring I don't want to screw this phone up further without finding out what the problem is, i restart the phone again. Now the phone just boots into the Samsung logo and then reboots and so the cycle continues.
I have no idea how this happened, it was so random and unexpected.
What should I do?
The good points
I can still get into CWM-Recovery
From reading previous posts I have downloaded Samsung toolkit but its well beyond my capabilities.
The bad points
I haven't a clue what to do
Having only just switched to android and learnt the basics about rooting, I really need some assistance with this problem.
Please, please, if there is anyone on XDA who can help point me in the right direction I would forever be grateful.

Thank you. I will look into how to do that. I've only ever rooted, never flashed any kind of ROM. I apologise for my noobness.
The one good thing about this is that I certainly will learn a lot more about my phone in a short space of time.
I will update when I have tried this.
Also will the 'backup and restore' or 'reboot recovery' in CWM be of any use?
Thanks again.

If you made a backup when you rooted with cwm recovery, then I would try to restore it 1st.

I have now opened Odin3 v1.85.
Interesting to note that the top black bar says 'Epic 4G'. I don't know if that is of any significance.
I've found the ROM which i relevant to my phone, i think (I9300XXDLIB)
Just to ask, I'm not needing to download any firmware? Different firmware versions were the major results i found when searching. I wouldn't be able to tell you what firmware I'm on, other than to say its Stock o2 UK firmware, whatever that maybe.

Alright alright, let's start with some basic stuff here.
1)- Do you have a micro sd card in there? And a card reader to read/write content to it from your PC? (We can use this to flash another ROM directly from CWM).
2)- Did you enter download mode when attempting to flash with ODIN? (Powerdown + Home + Power button)?
Everyone should follow the layout of the first post when asking for help, makes it way easier for people to understand and help.

Hi,
1) Yes I have a micro SD card, which I can use to place files on from my PC.
2) Yes, I entered download mode when flashing to from Odin (The screen with the warning about installing custom software). I clicked ok, and then Odin detected my phone.
I'm currently downloading PDA:I9300XXDLIH & CSC:I9300O2UDLI3 as I'm aware the last ROM could have been the wrong one.
Any assistance would greatly appreciated.

If ODIN doesn't work after all, download Android Revolution or any other stock based ROM, place it in your external SD card, and flash it from CWM, Factory reset and that should work.

I was trying to install a new ROM on my Verizon Galaxy S4, but the phone seems to be bricked. It gets stuck on the Verizon screen and will not go beyond it. I can boot into ODEN download mode. Oden3 starts OK but when it reboots it too gets stuck at the Verizon screen. I can boot into recovery using CWM but when I try to restore a backup I get an error in the data partition; when I try to reboot, the phone gets stuck at the same place. I cannot turn it off; I have to remove the battery to do anything.
Any suggestions as to how to solve this? I at a loss and worried that this may be irreparable. Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

I am receiving an error when running Odin. Near the end of flashing the rom, I receiver a runtime error message "The application requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way." If I do nothing, Odin never ends; if I respond OK, the flash does not complete correctly. My system, Win7 64, is up to date.

BRICK is when a phone will not turn on, vibrate, or show any lights whatsoever.
SOFT BRICK is what you described......the phone will boot but gets caught up somewhere in the boot process.
Your phone was "soft bricked". Hope this helps

Go into the recovery mode and do the wipe system and clear your caches. Then try again. Not positive on the error message but when I get back to the office around 9:15pm CST I can see what I can pull up if you still have issues.

I'm not sure, but I don't think I can get into recovery mode. I try and the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue." yellow exclamation mark shows up. I can't do anything else except a battery pull.
It says you can boot into CWM iin the original post so I assumed you could get there and do the wipes. You might also try the PIT file as well. Then you could try to Odin the stock recovery file.

The system wipe is done via the recovery. Hold the power button and volume up. When it vibrates release the power button while holding the volume up key.

When I try to get into recovery I end up with the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen and no matter how long I hold the volume up botton, it won't go into recovery mode.

I would recommend that you try download the file again. Then retry. Your download may have been messed up. If that doesn't work you may need to send your phone in to get fixed. If under warranty then just swap phones.

Hey just trying to try a few things. I wiped my phone in TWRP when trying to install a new rom, and i think i deleted something by accident. When i first installed the rom it was good until I did a restart.. then it hung on the Samsung S4 logo. I then when back to TWRP and did the swipe factory reset option and tried to restore from my stock root backup. That went through, but still hanging on the Samsung S4 logo on boot. So i went to your link and read the instructions. I went to download the VRAUMK_NOWIPE.tar.zip , but it was 1.8gb in size (Is that suppose to be right?) and it had a winrar error at around 400mb which stopped the download. I'm nowcurrently downloading "SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore.tar.md5.gz" which is 1.8gb too.
My question, do I just boot into the download mode, run odin, put that 1.8gb file into the PDA section, hit flash and HOPEFULLY it should restore everything to bone stock? (Also any idea why the NOWIPE had an error when downloading?)

Do you have a known good PIT file for your phone?
I wouldn't put anything into the PIT slot, flash just the .tar.md5 in the AP slot, and don't select "Re-partition".
Since it seems to be failing when trying to repartition, let's skip that (as above) and see if it's any better.

Well I'm out of ideas myself. Heimdall can be found here http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/
Some have had much better luck with it from what I've seen. I'm not an expert in Odin errors just was thinking of what I'd try. You can go between MK2 and MJ7 as well, may be worth trying MJ7 full wipe, just for the hell of it.
Hopefully that works or maybe someone else here will have another idea.

First, everyone: asking him to check the MD5 is a waste of time. It's a .tar.md5, and ODIN verifies the MD5 when it reads it. Since ODIN isn't finding a problem, it's OK. (There's no chance whatsoever that a file could be corrupt and still have a MD5 that verifies while still being a valid tar file.)
What I would do is to go read this thread for the MK2 files.
Given what you're seeing, try the emergency recovery. Download the .PIT file from there (remember me asking about that?) and use that when flashing the full-wipe file in ODIN.
This might sound crazy, but are you using the samsung OEM USB cable when your trying to odin? I had the note 2 before getting this phone and every time I used oden with a 3rd party USB cable, I always ran into problems. I always had to use the OEM cable. Also, if it's bootlooping or hanging at the boot screen, you should be able to get it working again. The only time you worry is if it doesn't do anything at all. When you said you can't get into safestrap, what about the stock recovery?

im using the the oem cable and as far as stock recovery yes i can get into stock recovery no problem
Update 2: Added a Wi-Fi Hot Spot Fix, thanks to @cooperg21
Update 1: I have attached the recovery, EFS and PIT I personally used on my phone to do this fix, as requested by a fellow member
I've seen a few people that accidentally "bricked" their Verizon Note 2 by accidentally installing the N7100 Bootloader. I myself did this, attempted the resistor mentioned by a fellow member and that also would not work for me. So I set out to find an alternative way to do it, and was successful. You don't even have to open the phone to do it.
You will need:
Odin Software
Stock ND3 Odin compatible stock ROM (I used N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_XEF)
N7100 TWRP Recovery (Latest Version, Odin Flashable)(attached to this post)
An i605 ROM (I used DN3).
A backup of your own EFS(if you have one), or the backup I provided(attached to this post)
N7100 PIT File, to repartition your Internal Storage to work with the stock N7100 ROM(attached to this post)
1. Use odin to write the N7100 pit file
2. Then, using Odin, load "N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_XEF" into the "PDA" section, after that was finished, I booted into the stock recovery and did a factory reset. That allowed the phone to boot up, but baseband was "Unknown" and it had no service.
3. Then, use Odin to flash the latest version of TWRP for the N7100(it MUST be n7100 or it will bootloop/stick on the Samsung/Rom Booting screen)
4. Then you must flash "N7100_ND3_DrKetan_Custom_ROM_V82.zip" using TWRP recovery, it will boot that up just fine, still says "Unknown" for baseband(i'll explain later why I flashed this, and am directing you to also flash this, despite bootloader still not working).
5. Afterwards, flash the EFS file(attached to this post) using ODIN. This will help resolve the lost Baseband/IMEI problem encountered with flashing the stock N7100 ROM in Step 1.
5. After that, flash "DN3_v5.2_VZW.zip", again, using TWRP Recovery. After that my phone booted up it had service and all of my apps worked.
When I skipped Step 4, a few apps wouldn't work correctly. Instagram wouldn't refresh the feed or load anything, Snapchat wouldn't open anything or send anything either. I'm not sure why that happens, but it ONLY happened if I didn't flash the N7100_ND3_DRKetan ROM before flashing the DN3 ROM
I know this device is beginning to get old, but I hope this can help someone in the future.

Solution to the DN3 Wifi Hotspot Issue:
1) Download and install Xposed
2) Open and update xposed framework (This didn't work the first time for me but after a clean install of the n7100 rom, then DN3 rom (with all S5 options selected), it worked.)
3) Restart (Might not be necessary but it doesn't hurt)
4) Install the "X Tether" Module in xposed.
5) Restart (Might not be necessary but it doesn't hurt)
6) Turn on mobile hotspot!

I'm honestly not sure, I got it second hand from someone, went to flash a new ROM to it and accidentally did the wrong bootloader for the ROM prerequisite. But I don't imagine what used to be on the phone will matter, because the bootloader from the N7100 would've written over it, and flashing the stock N7100 Odin files will overwrite anything previously on the phone.
I did this but it was just a white screen. mtvideos fixed it

N7100 TWRP Recovery (Latest Version, Odin Flashable)
An i605 ROM (I used DN3).
First, you have to flash the stock ND3 ROM to your phone, it will not get past the Samsung screen, that is normal. You will have to enter recovery mode (Vol Up, Home & Power) and choose factory reset, after that the phone will boot android fine, but will not have service.
You will now have to flash the N7100 TWRP Recovery, followed by flashing an i605 ROM. Personally, I used DN3 and it worked for me.
After flashing the ROM and rebooting the phone, I had a 100% WORKING Note 2 that was previously bricked. Download mode shows N7100, yet the phone is working completely. Data, Voice, Text, etc.
I know this device is beginning to get old, but I hope this can help someone in the future.

I too accidently flashed this N1700 onto my I605
How do you flash the ND3 ROM if you can't get into recovery? With Odin I've tried loading
-N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_N7100XXUFND3_HOME.tar.md5
-root66_VZW_stock_system.tar.md5
-I605VRUAND3_I605VZWAND3_I605VRUAND3_HOME.tar
None with no avail.
They all either never get past the PIT file and or unsuccessful, after rebooting both phone and PC and even tried another PC
at this point I am thinking of paying the 50$ for the JTAG fix. However any advice or suggestions would be helpful.
Also I tried this on both 3.07 and 3.09
PRODCUT NAME : GT-N7100
should be i605. The one that messed this up was N7100
N7100_KK_ND3_BL.tar.md5
... after this, it just rebooted and flash the Note 2 screen with GT-N7100 every 2 seconds... I can only put it in download mode. Recoevery mode will not work

Ok I followed it to a T and got it up with DN3 ROM, So now it at least has a ROM.
I need to load i605 EFS, I have both that and the Modem.zip. Question now is I saw many installers via app to install it however they all say N7100 loader only. I am not sure weather to use that method or another one. Would Odin install it ? if so what would be the procedures for this?
ANYWAY THANKS A LOT..

Ok for the EFS , on Odin, which did you select to install it
Bootloader
PDA
PHONE
CSC
also inside that tar ball there are 3 files. I don't want to "brick" my device again. I've searched plenty of places for Odin flashing EFS but no avail with these instructions, again many thanks.
THANK YOU.
I actually did not find direction, however I found many bash programs that did it automatically and looked at their code, they Added the efs via PDA
then it booted and for good measure I went through the TWRP and installed the modem. Rebooted and I GOT 4G back and a working ROM. If you need any designs / music mixing or anything like that I can see what I can do. Life Saver !
Question, from now on will I need to install roms that are for the N7100 ? I will backup/restore the efs/modem just in case for these too correct if this is the case?
Or can I install i605 ROMS ?
Again MUCH KUDOS !:good:

I haven't tried any other ROMs, I do know that some kernels don't do too well, flashing the AGNI kernel caused me to lose my baseband no matter what I flashed afterwards, haven't found out why yet. The ROM that you flashed at the end, that the phone works with, is a i605 ROM right from the Verizon Note 2 section of these forums. And sorry for the delay in reply, had to do some work on my car lol

That's most likely a problem with the ROM itself, but either way you're welcome -- i'm glad I could help you.
I think I have the same issue as you. I wasn't paying attention and I installed a n7100 bootloader on my i605 phone.
Anyway, I did a search for N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_XEF and it looks as if that rom is French. Is that going to cause an issue?

I think I have the same issue as you. I wasn't paying attention and I installed a n7100 bootloader on my i605 phone.
Anyway, I did a search for N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_XEF and it looks as if that rom is French. Is that going to cause an issue?

No, there won't be any problems. I'm in the USA and speak english and it worked fine for me.

Thank you very much. I was able to get it installed (kindof). It kept on flashing up with errors. I was able to get TWRP installed. However, my PC says that my phone's capacity is only 107MB now.
I'm going to try putting my SD card back in (had to take it out to get the PIT file working).
I couldn't find the ROM "N7100_ND3_DrKetan_Custom_ROM_V82.zip"but found "N7100_ND3_Prerooted_deknoxed_debloatableV3".
Would that work before I install the i605 rom? Thanks again for all of your help!!!!!!

Are you sure you flashed the N7100 recovery, rather than the i605 recovery?
Also, here is a link to the DrKetan ROM

would be sweet to see if this worked for locked bootloaders and allowed us to flash stuff again
Anybody out there wanna test? I'm pretty close to testing it on mine...since i'm about ready to switch to T-Mobile anyways.
Well, I'm taking the plunge now.
I went in to flash Trent's new B8, wiped data and TWRP crashed or something, then it bootlooped at the Note 2 screen. So instead of ODIN'ing back to VZW stock, i'm going to intentionally brick this beast to try this **** out lol
So annoyed at how bad this phone turned out to be once the 4.3 OTA was accidentally accepted by a lesser being in my house ;

my phone must be a beast, it fails to flash everything. It's gaurded by an angel!
I can't flash the n7100 bootloader onto it, it asks for pit, i put the pit, nothing. Just sits there saying looking for PIT to partition for bootloader. womp womp.

I think so. Here is what I installed.

Next step is the.... N7100 Dr.Ketan Custom ROM V 8.1
I ran into some issues with the PIT file (tried two different ones that I randomly found) and when I installed the above rom, it froze a couple of times in ODIN, but the third time was the charm. (If there is any way you could upload a link to the PIT file, future viewers with this problem would be really grateful!)
Is this it?

I'm moving everything onto my card via another phone and will update when I have an answer as to whether or not it worked. Thank again!
- My phone is currently stuck on the Samsung Screen. I'm thinking I didn't do the setup options correct on the rom....
- Tried wiping and reflashing rom but now I can't get past the Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 screen.....
- OK, Starting process again..... so I went back and reinstalled the French Recovery for the N7100. (Listed above). I think my original download didn't work so I redownloaded it. It flashed through Odin and booted without any weird errors! I'm going to follow the rest of the steps now.
- Installed TWRP: openrecovery-twrp-2.7.2.1-t03g.img.tar
- Installing the N7100 Dr.Ketan Custom ROM V 8.1 now via TWRP
- TWRP said FAILED after the install but I rebooted and my phone now says "Android is upgrading...",
- SUCCESS! The ROM installed. (just picked default/skip options) Now I'm going to install the DN3 Rom via TWRP
- Got DN3 up and running but no cell reception. Went to install the EFS via Odin 3.09 but it crashed Odin.... Trying with 3.07.... 3.07 got to NAND write start and my phone has a blue bar across the bottom but I think it's stuck... Task Mgr. shows little to no activity.... Time to try again.... I was able to restore an EFS via TWRPfrom a backup I had made but still no cell reception..... :/
- It works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was just impatient. After about 30 seconds, I have cell reception! CHRiS, you truly are infamous! You are awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!

Did you try just running the PIT by itself using Odin 3.7?
