I installed CWM touch, and superuser zip folder on my Galaxy note (att)
So I read a tut that said to wipe everything so I did on recovery mode, booted it up, worked good, went back because superuser didnt work right. I installed 3-4 times before it said success, now its goes to a crisp samsung logo, then goes blurry and stops.....
Stupid noob mistake I didnt backup anything. Figured it was simple as jailbreaking an iphone (which you cant mess up on, plug in, hit button, done)
I been trying it all but just cant get it to work.
If your phone still boots up
youre not bricked...
Odin back to a stock firmware (GB or ICS)
and start again

And if you can't find how to do that, you need to read more before flashing

It boots to the samsung logo, but not lock screen. And I'm phoneless now Lol.
Since I was just updated to ICS (att) and did CWM/superuser, would I just have to use odin>PDA with a tar file?
if so which file? I tried that but no luck.

You need to stop flashing before you mess up your phone
Stop and read
Why are you flashing that?!?!?!
You have an NOTE
Really stop and read read read

:silly: I got it from a link in this note section, I should have seen that though.
So if I flash it, does it flash over the other flash? or does it add to it.
I'll continue readin.
Not all Samsung's are the same. You should only be getting tar files from your specific section. Keep in mind you need to match the model number

That link worked good. Thanks so much to everyone, I about had a heartache as I got my phone like 3 months ago, and just got ICS on it.
This time I'm gonna read alot more before I try it again.
Good idea. Glad it worked. If ya ever have any questions in the future , don't hesitate to ask BEFORE flashing.

Dear Friends
I HAVE MESS-UP WITH MY i9300!!!!
The incident is I was using custom rom, and installed some stupid app called "Adblock" or something,
and then, my phone just keep went-off for about 8-10 times a day. So then, I decided to reflash
custom rom by CWM, and after I pressed install in Aroma Installer, it just kick me out all of sudden, and
then, I couldn't get back to CWM anymore, so I decided to flash some stock rom by odin, but what
had happen was it starts until "Nand write start" and stacked for a while, and then just FAIL me.
On the net, I found that Checkrom Resurrection V4 could rescue softbrick i9300, I tried, but
no luck either. Finally, just now, I tried a 3 files stock rom with pit, and it came out as:

Or anything I can over-come from the soft (or hard) brick. PLEASE Give me some help guys. I am very struggle.

tried it as well, but it seems doesn't work as it kept rebooting / hanging at the Galaxy S3 logo. And I tried to flashed some stock rom (combo file) from Samfirmware, no luck neither. Tried to flash some stock rom (3 files + pit) HK base rom. Same happened. Fail after Nand Write Start.:silly:
and now, couldn't get into CWM neither.

I have searched everywhere (Not just XDA Forums) for a solution to my issue. Noe is to be found. Help me Android Geniuses, you are my only hope.
I Rooted my Verizon Note 2 LTE with Casual, and installed a sexy new ROM. I was loving it, till I realized I was no longer connected to the network. Not to worry! I had backed everything up using TWRP, so I restored the efs partition. Hmm, that didn't work.
Fast forward to me trying to flash my device back to stock, and it failing over and over (my flash count was at 18). Every time it failed in exactly the same spot: Modem.bin
Finally tried the "Root66" ROM, and it worked. However, my device is still rooted, no modem, no imei, and it still says minimum of 1 flash, and that I'm using custom ROM. Considering I have to warranty this phone, I need it back to stock for real. Can anyone help??

hey bro, have you unlocked the bootloader? if so and you're trying to go back to stock try the alternative stock odin file from imnuts.
EDITuno: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390225151984927096
theres the link to his alt restore odin package. idk if that'll help fix the modem.bin failure, but it should help someway. hope it does! if you need anymore help you can pm me if you need to.
I'm curious to what rom you flashed. Was it for a Verizon note 2? If you get no network, try flashing the modem in recovery. That should solve it

I returned my phone to Best Buy, replacement in a few days. So thank you for all the help, next time I'll be more careful.
Hey guys, I need some help. I was switching roms and I guess i must have deleted my storage. So I had no rom to install and no backup. I tried to odin back to stock and it failed. Now my phone will only boot to odin mode but it says firmware upgrade encountered a problem. I searched and searched for answers and tried many things but no solutions seem to work. I have tried one click MJ4 full restore, and one click NAB full restore and neither work. they fail. So what can I try next? I have been working on this for hours and I have to go to work in 5 hours and need my phone. Please help.

What was on your phone prior to this happening?
We need the back story up to when you started flashing 2 separate operating systems onto your device (JellyBean, MJ4, TouchWiz KitKat, NAB).
You mention that you were switching roms...what rom were you on, and to what rom did you try to flash?

I was on this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567499 and was trying to switch to this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696396
However I never even started the write because I deleted everything on accident prior to trying to write the rom. I was S-OFF and rooted and I believe I was on 4.3.
Oh then the first thing I did was try to odin this file: N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.md5
That failed, then I tried the 2 previously mentioned one click odin stocks.
Oh and I was on TWRP 2.6.1 but now I have no recovery.

The MJ4 tar would've worked had you flashed it (you were on MJ4, JellyBean, but on a prerooted rom).
Having failed at MJ4, going with the NAB and NC5 (both KitKat), may have sent your system into a nosedive of confusion.
Tell me if you can get into download mode at all home + power + volume down).
Your version of TWRP is old, but that has nothing to do with this. You need to put your phone back to stock, then upgrade if you want to flash a KitKat rom.
The MJ4 tar file will put stock everything back on your phone, even recovery, so your TWRP will be gone...but you can get it back.
Let me know if you can get into download mode, and we can take it from there.

I can get in to download mode, but it has a triangle with exclamation mak and it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. However the phone still comunicates with oden. The writting process starts but fails every time. I did the 1 click mj4 and it fails as well.
And I don't need to hold buttons to get to download, it's the only screen the phone goes to no matter what.

Please quote me when responding, if you don't mind. It let's me know that you've posted something.
As long as you can get into download mode, you can do something, hopefully.
A bricked device doesn't get into anything, won't even power into that screen. It's called brick for that reason.
What happens when you do volume up + power + home? Nothing, stock recovery, download mode, etc? Also, power down completely, and remove your SD card.
You can try...
1. Flashing the tar file via PC Odin in lieu of the one-click package (perhaps at this point not a possibility given that you've tried to flash the latest NC5 tar
2. Taking into Sprint where a root tolerant tech is available, and have them put the latest firmware on it for you, over-the-wire style (speak little, play clueless, Google around before going into the brick-and-mortar location
3. Flashing the NAB or NC5 tar, same way (you already have tried one or both of these I believe
Ultimately, option 2 may be your best hope.
Good luck!

remove battery from phone..... now with battery removed reinstall battery. boot to recovery by holding volume+ and power button simultaneously.
if you can access any type of stock recovery do a full wipe from it. not if you cant try rebooting computer . try usb in a different port. sometimes its something so simple. could even be a cord issue. do you have another cord to try? any micro usb will work.

I do not have any recovery at all. I tried 2 cords, I'll try the reboot of computer now. Does it matter I'm on a Mac using vmware for win 7?

Reboot and new port gave me a slightly different Odin log but still failed:

I think either trying it from a Windows PC (shouldn't matter, but why not try) or carefully selecting a Sprint store (root friendly tech, knows what he or she is doing) for an over-the-wire update, are worth a shot.

It is a possibility that you had a bad download and also are you using the odin you from chain fire when you rooted? I had the same problem last month. I spent 5 hours trying to figure it out. Turns out I just had a bad download.

Just got back from Sprint Store. They said my warrenty is void and there is nothing they can do. I guess I will redownload and try on a pc. I'll be back.... ugh.
