Hi guys, hoping someone can shed a little bit of light on my issue.
Rooted my phone- all went fine!.
Went to install CWM and all i got was the e3 recover telling me:
Failed to verify signature.
Instillation failed.
So after a little bit of messing about i decided to just leave it and continue on with my day. My phone then ran out of battery. I put it on charge without turning it on and came to find the phone in recovery mode with a fully working version of Clockwork MOD, suprising to say the least. I rebooted the phone and then tried to reboot back into recovery mode, and since then my phone wont load normally or into recovery past the samsung logo.
I dont know what to do because although my phone will go into download mode, it will not work with ODIN, i simply get the message "failed to open serial port."
So i have a phone that wont load recovery, wont load normally, and wont let me install kernals etc through ODIN, please someone help me!
Any help would be great, thanks people.
Hi
I'm new here & have been reading many threads in preparation before rooting my phone.
Its sounds like your phone is stuck in a boot loop, if so read this tread & it should help you out. (sorry if i got it wrong)

peace
The above solution will not work for you, because your have no recovery.
How did you root your phone? To summarize:
1. You rooted your phone.
2. You tried flashing CWM (why?)
3. Flashing failed and you have no recovery anymore?
4. Odin does not recognize your phone anymore.
Correct?
Try a different USB cable to make sure it isn't the cable.
Have you stopped kies on your computer before running odin?

I had the same problem get into Cwm the way you'd get into normal Android recovery so hold vol up + home + power then when the boot screen pops up let go for a millisecond then repush vol up + home + power

Your phones only bricked if it wont turn on mate. Relax as its most likely fixable. Do as others have suggested and disable kies as its a pain in the backside. Kies doesnt like odin and will crap it up. Install a kernel like chainfires; get into cwm and wipe everything. Dalvik, cache, system. Get a usb jig off ebay for gs2 if you can as thats helped me out. I only use Siyahs kernel or Chainfires as they are the most stable. Good luck.

I just got a galaxy note 2 not a day ago and I finally managed to root it, but for some god forsaken reason I didn't have a custom recovery. So I used casual thinking it would help me out, but when it was uploading the recovery it said it failed. I'm now in a boot loop and odin nor casual are recognizing my device in download mode. I can't get into recovery either. Please someone help! I'm about to have a nervous breakdown.

I used casual last night and it got me into a boot loop, and i had a breakdown !
Are you able to get into recovery at all? power phone off, then press and hold the Home button, Up volume, Power button *until recovery starts* dont let go when the device boots, keep holding.
After using casual the phone was able to go into TRWM or something (whatever recovery program it flashes). If you are able to get into recovery do a factory reset (not the advanced one) and your phone should work.
my phone boot loops after every flash and requires a factory reset, but still keeps the rom add.
I am thinking casual is not the way to root

Checkout this thread by Adam Outler called "DON'T ACCEPT OTA UPDATES" in the Verizon Galaxy Note II General section. I'm aware that you aren't experiencing this specific problem, but it should fix your boot loop problem. You'll need the two files that he makes available just below the picture. I've had others tell me that they used those files to successfully fix boot loops.

Adam has stated that if all you want is root, using CASUAL is like "killing an ant with an atomic bomb." CASUAL is for doing an irom unlock. In short, you get everything unlocked - recovery, bootloader, and root
Also as long as you read and follow directions, unlike most people are doing, CASUAL works perfectly fine.
I know there has been other treads about this before but none of the suggestions seemed to work for me. I searched and searched and I'm just not finding a fix. I hate to do these posts when an easy answer is right there but I just can't figure it out and it's killing me. So here it is:
I just got this Verizon Galaxy Tab that would not come on - only showed the battery charging icon. I just charged it over night and it came on once. However, processes kept shutting down. For instance, when I went into settings and tried to connect to my wifi network, the whole process would just close down. So I let it get to about 40% and reboot it to download mode (there was no recovery). I found the correct .tar file for it and flashed it with ODIN3 v1.85. It completed successfully but now it won't boot past the Samsung splash screen. Once the splash screen comes up, it will just go back to the large battery charging icon in the middle of the screen.
Then I tried the other option where you get into recovery and nothing happens at all. The screen is backlit black (you can just see light around the edges of the screen) and nothing ever happens.
So now, it's just charging but it seems to charge very slowly. I was wondering if this is a battery issue or some strange sequence that needs to be done. It seems to be at about 40% again. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
These are other things I've tried:
hold the power button down for 30 seconds
Hold the power button down while touching the screen
More suggestions would be appreciated.
Now the tablet is fully charged but it still gets stuck on the splash screen when trying to boot up. Still have no recovery. Also, I'm not able to find a PIT file to re-partition. Can someone tell me how to get the stock recovery back at least? I've been looking but I can't find a file to flash for the recovery.
Same problem
Hi, I have the same issue basically. I have the Galaxy Tab SGH i957D 8.9 (TELUS) and flashed it to root last night, now I have the same problem. Except I have CWM installed, I was able to install that AFTER I locked it up. Help from one of the GURUs here would be great. It's obviously a problem caused by flashing it.
So try flashing with CWM, at least you'll have a good recovery on it. If we work together, we may be able to come up with a solution for our dilemma. I don't believe it;s a major problem, I had the same issue with my captivate phone when trying to CWM and Cyanogenmod, and I got it working perfectly, so there is hope.
I have tried the stock rom, rooted rom, and a couple of others, but still can;t get past the splash screens. Left it overnight trying to boot, and all it did was kill the battery. I can;t even turn it off, it just reboots every time I try shutting down. I CAN get to download and recovery mode though, and flash it all I want with Odin 3.7 and 1.83, just never boots past the splash screens.

Thanx for the reply. As you can see, I've been around these forums for a long time and usually I'm able to work it out but this one has got me stumped. Just wanted to ask you if you have tried to flash a custom ROM in Clockwork? Also, did you go through unlocking the boot loader befor you flashed it? I did not because I received the tablet in this condition. I tried to flash clockwork mod but I get an "invalid file" error in Odin. Once I flashed the stock recovery and it worked fine. But after reflashing the stock rom, the stock recovery is gone now. Do you have a link to the files you used? I'm thinking that the stock recovery is messed up but I can only find that one file.
no I haven't tried flashing through CWM, as I wasn't trying to flash originally, I was just rooting and going easy on it, then it wouldn't boot, so I wasn't prepared and now can't add files to my SD drive.
I didn't unlock the boot, as none of the instructions I read mentioned it (rooting was all I was trying to do).
I don't even have a stock recovery either, all I have is CWM and TWRP.
I'm going to try mounting it in Linux and see if that makes any difference to put roms on my SD drive, as windows doesn't like it anymore, except through Odin, where luckily it seems to work fine... For now.. lol
Fixed!!!

I'm glad you got the right firmware and fixed your tab! But this site does not list a firmware for the SCH–i905 anywhere. Unless the Verizon Galaxy tab has an alternate model# there is no firmware on the site for my device. Oh well, at least one of us got tablets fixed. Congrats!
Download mode issue.
What recommendations do you guys have for a tablet that will not recognize in download mode?
I accidently flashed a bootloader and had auto reboot on - couldnt flash kernel and modem in time.
My tablet fully boots up, (rom manager says cwm is installed) as well as when i boot into recovery its completely black.
My main concern is that download mode is not recognized. it was previously working prior to installing the bootloader.
What can i do to fix this issue?

Can you start by giving as much info as possible about your tab, make model# etc.
can you actually get into download mode? Power button and Volume down button till it boots then release pwr.
you may have bad drivers on your pc. I had this problem with my phone when I installed CM.
get into DL mode and then start Odin and hopefully you will see the Com port attached.
then in PDA load the stock rom for your tab.
hopefully at this point youll be all set.
if your tab is fully functional, then try just flashing CWM or TWPR to your tab. I found with mine that CWM works best. I like TWP better for looks and the touchscreen functionality, but I found it gets a bit flaky after a few flashes, where CWM seems more stable.
SHAWNDH...
give me all your info for your tab, make, model.. carrier etc. as much as you can, and I will see if I can find any stock roms while doing my searches. 2 sets of eyes are better than one...
So i have a sch-i905, 4.0.4 - I CAN boot into normal android
I flashed a bootloader last night and had auto reboot ticked. was not able to install the modem or the kernel.
I can get into download mode without any issues,but now download mode says "waiting for cable" and is not recognized by pc as it once was prior to the flash.
I can also get into recovery but its completely black ( assuming due to no kernel flashed )
I can get into android normally, but cant fix firmware through download mode, and recovery.
Please help :X
side note: rom manager says twmp and cwm is installed, though i get no display in recovery only blackness
if i can get download mode to work again or get cwm to show up i can fix it, but dont know where to go from here.

I don't get it. First, you can't flash a kernel using Odin. Second, your tab won't even be able to boot without the kernel.

If you can get into DL mode, then its probably just an issue of drivers on your pc. Download the samsung drivers and reinstall.
Then put your tab in dl mode. Then connect to the pc with cable, try a different usb port than before.
Then start odin, if you get the Com port showing up in the status box, then flash CWM recovery to the tab. Then start over with what you are trying to do. But I can almost garantee its an issue with drivers on your pc. I had the exact same problem with my phone when I did it,
and fixing drivers was the issue. I wss stumped for a long time on that issue. If that doesnt work, look into Heimdall flash utility or Kies and go from there.
Hope this helps. Or at least gets you on the right track.

dont think its a driver issue.
it was working fine in download mode prior to me flashing a bootloader.bin, and yes you can flash a kernel.bin through odin, as well as a modem.bin.
I was in the process of installing cwm this way when it happened.
I can get into the os, i can get adb working fine, recovery is just a black screen though it goes into it. and i can get into download mode still, just stuck at "waiting for cable" no interaction with device manager

Ok... Im getting confused here... You Can still flash with Odin? Then you can install a new recovery on it. If device manager on the pc is not working, then you probably have a corrupt install, or the wrong rom file for your particular tab, and the usb drivers arent correct for your tablet.
Personally, I would start by downloading a stock rom file and return the tab to factory before starting anything, so you have it working as it should before continuing further.
If you DO HAVE a stock rom, maybe you could pass it along, i believe shawndh who started this thread is in need of one for the same tablet.

Oh... Well then it is beyond the scope of any problem I have encountered, or seen a solution to. I thought you could still connect in download mode.
Can you change usb debugging mode in tablet settings, that may enable you to connect? If not I dont think I personally can help, as your posts read like you could still use Odin.
On my phone, (galaxy S) nothing would connect after I messed up, but could do things with Heimdalls utility. See if you can connect with that. Worth a try, it does the same as Odin, but connects differently somehow.

Thanx for the reply. I have the SCH-i905 32gb Galaxy 10.1 tab. The carrier is Verizon. I've spent days looking for another download source but I can only find one - there's a link from this site. Others have posted that it did restore their devices so I'm thinking that there are some bad clusters that need to be quarantined but I can't even find a tool for the Galaxy Tab that will do or check for that. I'd appreciate it if you could take a look though. Thanx.

Are you connecting to a USB port that is on the motherboard of your computer? Mine will only recognize my tablet with one port. The other ports are not recognized at all by ODIN.

I don't think its a cluster issue, just a bad flash previously. But you'll see from the link, yours is also known as the P4vzw. Well check the link and make sure that's your tab that I found. Then have a look at ALL the files for that tab.
Have you seen/tried this one... here's the thread STOCK ROM FOR YOUR TAB...
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342995
Here's just the file.
http://goo.gl/XPMXv
Try flashing CWM recovery to your tab, and try a file from cyanogenmod
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/P4vzw_Info
Or just try the CM ROM first maybe and see what happens. I don't remember what you have for recovery. There are a bunch on there, but all nightly that I saw, but even that would be better than nothing for now if it works.
I'm still looking, but I know what you're saying about few and far between. I think they all are for the tabs. Let you know if I find anything else.

Hello everyone, it's with a great thrill that I found a couple of days back the existance of the beautiful wackyrom available on your forum.
After considering it I took willingly the risk of installing it... and following all indications of flashing cwm via odin and wiping all for of data in the proper oder, I got myself stuck in a pretty unpleasant situation : CMW recovery loop. I tried to start from scratch again and again and I even tried to go back on the stock firmware (which wasn't the original french one installed on my phone but a foreign one). I know I may have made a newbie mistake, but seeing the strength of your helping community Im hoping to revive what now looks more to me like a brick phone than ever. In advance, I thank all attention and anwsers to my case.

Flash this Stock recovery via odin : http://d-h.st/hcA
Instruction:
1) Put phone in download mode by powering off ,home button and volume down while plugging the phone into the computer(if don't and don't understand search google their are many guides and videos for it)
2) You should now see the first square in Odin turn yellow and say "Ready"
3) Click on the pda tab in Odin and select the Stock_Recovery_GT-I8552.tar you downloaded
4) Click start and wait for your phone to reboot
5) Done!
Well, I should have added that to the list of things that I have tried before. The only divergence to your methode is the fact that the keys to force start the downloading mode does not work so I only can acces it thrue a restart in downloading mode within CWM...
I have wiped all pilots/kies traces off my computer, checked rooting of the phone using kingo android root, reinstall my drivers from scratch and yet Odin still dont recognise it.. Does anyone have a clue?

I also have the same problem. I have read all threads from google about this matter, that say flash rom, clear whatever2, blaz bla
BUT, still for 3 days I cant fix it. when it stuck in boot looping or turn off, odin didnt recognise my phone
Dear friends,
Install Samsung kies and it will install all the proper drivers for your phone.
Then use another port of your pc or laptop to connect with odin.
If changing your pc ports doesn't work then try to install kies on another pc perhaps.
After the phone gets connected to pc follow @lols21.10 instructions.
Worth a try.

Also: if Odin don't recognize your phone, try to change your usb cable

After the phone gets connected to pc follow @lols21.10 instructions.
Worth a try.

not either. because my phone need to be turned on in normal mode when connect to my pc, then i need to choose the usb option whether to transfer files/camera/charging.
and only then Odin say "ready"
Do this: put your device in download mode and then you reflash firmware with Odin.
You can do this by turning your phone on pressing the buttons HOME, POWER and VOL DOWN. When your phone vibrates, release POWER and keep pressing ther other two. A screen with a warning will appear, and you press VOL UP to confirm. After that, you open Odin, plug your phone on computer and select the stock firmware by clicking on button "PDA" at Odin. And then it is just start and wait.
Same Problem
