Hi my data/cell services completely stopped working all of a sudden and I need to get the phone to complete stock.
I have tried flashing a restore through odin but it is not working. Any thoughts or help?
Something has been going around where CM10.2 has borked a lot of Note2s...
Flash a touchwiz based rom, stock if you got it.
in settings go to backup & recovery and factory reset from there.
when it boots again it should work.
if you get into a boot loop wipe data/factory reset in cwm.

I tried that and it didn't fix it so I odin'd back to stock but even that hasn't worked
Hope you used pit file along with stock rom in odin

If after you are true stock and unrooted, did the factory reset in backup & recovery, and it's still borked, I would go ahead and run CASUAL and see what that does then if it doesn't work then pull the battery and sim, turn phone back on while pressing up volume, home, and power to get into CWM and do a data wipe factory reset there.
Be sure you are using the correct stock rom though... if you are unsure just flash different ones...

I am sorry if this was answered before, but I have tried to search and couldnt find anything..
I have a Samsung Vibrant, of course, and had flashed Trigger 3.2. It was working great until applications started to fail such as the web browser. The applications will start but never actually run. So I tried to restore my nandroid backup, but after doing that, everytime I try to reboot my phone it stays stuck on the lock screen with "Searching" on the top right corner. Im assuming it is searching for the network, but it wont let me unlock the phone. I flashed Trigger again and it worked fine. I try restoring and Im stuck again. I also tried to factory reset and it still does the same thing.
has anyone else encountered this and know how to fix it?
Just odin back to stock with dl mode

Factory reset from Recovery and re-flash Trigger again this time wiping cache, dalvik and fixing permissions after the flash. Now when restoring make sure to check APPS ONLY.

This is all correct. It is likely when restoring you are restoring old system data
thanks for the help! If I did this, would I still be able to flash back to stock or will I have to use Odin for that?

You have to remember when you Nandroid it doesnt flash the kernel back so you either need a flashable rom that has a stock kernel or odin back.
the above is correct make sure you do that!
As the thread title states...I was on 7.1 and downloaded/updated it to 7.2 Now the phone doesn't boot up and all I get is the Kernel Panic Upload Mode.
Anyway I can fix this? And if so, is there a way of doing it without completely formatting my phone and losing all my apps?
Oh and if it makes any difference I had to install that Siyah Kernel or whatever it was called to get out of the bootloop issue that I had with CM7.1. I'm thinking that that may be causing the problem....? But then again what do I know
wipe cache only.

How? I've been trying [Power+Volume Up+Home] and it hasn't been doing anything. Can I do it through download mode somehow?
Had this problem when i flashed Lite'ning rom. Had to go into download and flash stock with odin. Took me a few tries to actually get the rom to work. As far as I know, that'd be your only option, seeing as recovery doesn't work for you.
take a deep breath and read, there is a very small chance of bricking your phone just so you know. Flash back original with Odin and start everything again
thanks for the replies...looks like i'm gonna flash the stock firmware back and see what i can do about getting to CM7.2 to work. hopefully flashing stock firmware is enough. I can't imagine how this would completely brick my phone and render it unusable.
As an aside...wtf is the point of this "recovery mode" when the thing doesn't even work half the time?
Anywho...downloading the stock .exe file now from here: http://devsrom4android.blogspot.ca/2011/10/samsung-galaxy-s2-firmwares-bell-canada.html[/url
Ok so I flashed the stock rom and now I'm in Android system recovery: Should I just reboot system now or do I wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache partition??

If you flashed stock, you should be fine just rebooting.
Its stuck on the boot screen. I tried just rebooting, then wiping/factory reset, then both wipes...reinstalled stock a few times and nothing worked each time. I'm suck on the Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 screen
:-\...when I go into recovery, I get a ton of red messages/errors
I'm gonna try somethig other than stock firmware see if that helps.
edit Ok so I rooted the phone and it got past the first boot screen and now appears to be stuck on the "animated S" boot screen...progress!!

Ok everything back to somewhat normal. Stock ROM didn't work but 2.3.6 did, so I'm on that. Now do I wanna go back to CM is the question...
Either way, thanks again for all the replies and helping me out with this. Greatly appreciated!
Was just curious, was hopin to send my phone back in to att today (due to a power button that no longer works) since i got a replacement. Unrooted back to stock and deleted all of my photos and everything and then got stuck on a bootloop so im unable to do a hard reset. Unfortunately I can't even get into 3e recovery since my power button is broken, so is it possible to do a hard/factory reset to wipe the internal SD from odin or any other program? much appreciated
If the phone is on and booted up, you can do a wipe data/factory reset from the settings menu within the phone:
Menu > Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset in Gingerbread
Menu > Settings > Back up and reset > Factory data reset in ICS
If your phone is not on, there are several ways to boot it:
adb reboot
flash stock firmware in Odin with reboot checked
etc.
You can also get into recovery with:
adb reboot recovery

I'll look into adb recovery. The phone is not on for clarification. It's stuck in a permanent bootloop.

If it were my phone, I would flash the stock firmware package in Odin, with reboot checked. Once the flash completes, the phone should boot normally. Then you should be able to wipe data/factory reset from the phone.
or try the adb reboot recovery to see if that will work.
If you still have a bootloop after flashing stock again, then you may need to flash the full stock distribution. You don't say in the OP how the phone got into a bootloop, or what you flashed to stock from.

Apologies again for not being specific and I appreciate your efforts in going back and forth with me.
The reason my phone is currently in a bootloop was when I followed the process on your thread for preparing my phone to be sent back for warranty replacement. Using odin I flashed the stock image (UCKH7, and my flash counter reads NO which is good) and after the phone extracted the files and Odin said I was bone stock, my phone just continuously reboots on the att startup animation (which you predicted and outlined could be fixed by going into 3e recovery and doing a factory reset but since my power buttons rubbish, I can't select any options even if I do get into 3e recovery)
Edit: I also flashed to stock from AOKP and I even followed through your process a second time thinking that re-flashing the stock firmware would remove the bootloop, however no luck

You probably don't need the bootloaders. I think adb reboot recovery is your best option. Let me know if it works.

Even if he gets into recovery, how will he select any of the menu options with a broken power button?

Damn you're right. What was I thinking?
I guess the only option is just take the phone back as is.

Yeah that's what I figured as well since I can't select any options. It's Alright, luckily I deleted anything personal before even doing the unroot. And the Odin flash definitely unlinked all of my account info from the phone so I was just asking for my own peace of mind and curiosity. Just dropped the phone off in the mail this morning, thank you both for your help. You guys rule.

Yeah I can't see any other option. Should be fine though...it has stock firmware and kernel on it now, even with the bootloop. He can just say, my phone went crazy and I don't know why!

Hello all, could use some help here.
I'm trying to restore my Note to the factory ROM and I'm running into an issue.
Fyi, I had the latest Paranoid JB Rom from Oct 13.
I followed the proceedures outlined in the forums (used ODIN to restore the default "attstockrom") and after that restore the phone would loop rebooting into ATT rethink possible animation screen.
I found and downloaded the latest 4.04 rom for the phone (I717UCLF6) and rebooted. Now it just hangs at the "ATT Rethink possible" graphic (no animation, no loop).
Odin does see the device fine so I can reflash again with no problems if I need to. I'm thinking of trying the I717UCLA1 version from Jan to see if that works but I'm hoping I can get some better advice before I do something that might cause more permanent problems.
Any advice on how to get back to stock ICS (or even JB) and get the phone working again?
Thanks!
Try doing a factory data/cache wipe from Recovery.
I flashed the stock rom via ODIN. There is no factory data/cache wipe since there's no custom recovery.
Are you suggesting flashing CWM/TWRP on the phone now then doing that?
Houston we have liftoff. Thanks for the tip Fappa, that got me into the phone (reinstalled cwm, factory reset). However I'd still like to remove CWM and go back to completely stock....
I'm not overly worried about it as I'm selling the phone but I'd like the new owner to have a completely clean phone in case they need to send it in at some point for repair. But in any case it's up and running with CWM and factory ICS rom.

I'm sure fappa meant to use the stock android recovery and wipe. when I go back to stock it always hangs at AT&T boot logo and have to wipe/reset from stock recovery to get it to boot.

Yes do what they say or you will continue to boot loop.

Hey guys,
I was just wondering what the general consensus is on which recovery is the most preferred.
I was using TWRP 2.6, but that gave me problems (being stuck on samsung logo everytime my phone rebooted). Reverted back to 2.5.0.2 and it seems to work fine so far. I did try CWM in the past but for some reason my boot loader would get locked and I would have to ODIN back to stock.
So what's your preferred recovery and why?
Thanks.

I like TWRP. It works well with the new phone and Roms that are coming out plus it is so easy to use. Never liked CWM very much. You did right by reverting to an older version of TWRP I had to do that once.
TWRP... i don't even consider anything else.
Do you guys know why my phone gets stuck on the samsung logo everytime i restart my phone?
Doesn't matter what ROM i use it always happens....
Did you do a factory reset, system wipe, preload wipe, cache wipe, and dalvik wipe? Or try fix permissions from recovery?
If not, go do all of those.
If that doesn't work, something is missing from the system partition that is keeping it from booting. Which means you deleted it. :good:
