Hi,
I have an Galaxy S2 i9100 - I'm guessing international version as I'm in the UK.
I have no idea what kernel or anything.
As stupid as it might be I loaded up odin, and installed chainfires CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE2-v4.0-CWM4.tar recovery...
I see my error now, however I am stuck with a phone I can boot into odin but seem unable to install any recovery.
As I always try help myself, I have used various versions of odin... (I have a nice collection, but am sticking to 1.85 as a safe option.. mainly as my 3.09 seems to say i9505 in the title)...
I have tried to flash a number of recoveries.. all fail, (currently it is trying to install philz_touch_6.26.6-i9100.tar.md5 but seems to be taking a long time.
Code:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> philz_touch_6.26.6-i9100.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
and hasn't moved from there for the duration of this post and me setting up dinner
hence this post... I have read through a number of posts but they all get complicated (I notice people that write simplified versions get flamed as it's already covered..)...
however everything seems to rest on what recovery do I require... and as I can't access the phone.. I don't know.
Please.. can someone point me to a basic recovery just to get this phone working again.
Thanks
edit: 10 minutes later I think it safe to say nothing going on... gunna try rebooting and using something else..
trying to download a stock rom from SamMobiles....
ah ha: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/help-odin-stuck-setup-connection-t2193372
re-edit: so.. I've managed to reinstall stock and cwm recovery... although it seems to have borked installing slimrom.. so it's rebooting tocwm! ... all this so I can have dual accounts so my son (6!) can access his account when the tab is being used! "go play outside!!"
so.. after failing to install slimrom
it will no longer boot into OS and fails back to recovery.
I have installed philz_touch and tried again.. same fail
however now when I try and install the stock through odin it fails with
Code:
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..
<ID:0/005> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/005> [B]Can't open the specified file. (Line: 1992)[/B]
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
and so now I am stuck.. but will plod on... any tips please, thanks
You need Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General; find it & try as much of the stuff in the thread as many times as you need to until you get a successful flash of stock & a 'clean slate'.

Which slimrom are you trying to install? If its slimkat 4.4.2, you can't use philz due to old cwm recovery. You need kk compatible recovery...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Free mobile app
ok MistahBungle will do.. but my update as it stands...
have noticed philz_touch isn't so great... am using CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5
I have been able to boot into download mode... sometimes it is very stubbon, but I figure as long as it has a pulse I can still do it...
I have managed to install a stock rom - I9100XXLQ5_I9100OXALQ5_OXA (Open Europe Android 4.0.4)
as mentioned I've installed CWM..
however after this point it all gets harder...
I repeatedly get error 7 or status 7 when I use CWM to install alternate roms (nameless rom, slimrom 4.4.2, omni and both NeatRoms).. when this happens my only option is install stock, then CWM
I read Status 7 is a general incomparability of some roms with CWM... although I doubt this is the issue I'm having as I have the same fault with all roms.. but it's possible so I have tried to install openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-exhilarate but this also fails... and as hawaiisteve said may well be not a 4.4 compatible recovery.
Currently, as I type, I have a fully functional GT-i9100 with stock 4.04 and no root
...
so my todo is
read the odin troubleshooter and look into a friendly 4.4 recovery...
You won't need the Odin troubleshooter if you managed to flash stock successfully/got the phone working.
However...
Be careful whilst you're running stock 4.0.4, make sure you only root your phone by flashing a 'safe' custom kernel (all of them), don't use CFRoot as this will expose you to the brickbug if you end up having to do a factory reset for whatever reason whilst running it/before you get around to flashing something else.

Status 7 error is almost definitely due to old cwm recovery. Search "kk compatible recovery". Download it and flash it from your current cwm. Then reboot recovery and flash ROM. Should work.
Edit: there's also a kk compatible recovery in Neatrom asop OP

Have you actually read the OPs of the ROMs you mentioned? I've installed all of them and all of the OPs give clear installation instructions and most also provide links to kk compatible recoveries, including the one I mentioned. Admittedly, the neatrom OP is very long. You say you are a noob, so even more you should read thoroughly before flashing before you brick your phone...

Yes I have read them.. and I disagree that they are clear...(although looking through slimrom I have to agree... I have (like a noob) clicked the installation link and bypassed the installation instructions)... however namless and omi are Defo not clear... NeatRom.. clear.. so doh!
anyway... since last post I have flashed GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9 onto stock 4.04 and currently it is closing down after reboot... need to install CF-root to get CWM
Thank you Thank you...
ok.. hawaiisteve .. I think you were right.. however I got there.. although.. it was the hard way...
so... installed GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9 as stated.. (would turn off during boot.. but would load into recovery, up+home+on).
installed CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100 from SDCard,
installed SlimRom...
sorted... easy when you know how innit
it was a journey... have I learnt anything... yes... read everything..
right.. now I need to sort out my other phone :s
Glad you're going in the right direction! And you are right about nameless. There are no instructions at all there. Just wanna say I personally like slimsaber by fusionjack. After trying all those roms, its the smoothest, fastest, and best on my device. Good luck!

Slim-i9100-4.4.2.build.4-OFFICIAL-3666 doesn't seem to work (for me)... installed slim minimal gapps... Slim_minimal_gapps.4.4.2.build.4.6
I've install it.. as mentioned.. phone has been factory reset a load of times.. seemed fine before I installed the gapps.. went borked after, as soon as I logged into google play...
.. and I can't say I'm that keen on TWRP...
gahh... fail.. can't load into TWRP now... have installed, chainfire SU, TWRP manager, CWM manager.. non can boot into recovery!
edit: ok... first need to enable root in settings before Chain SU, then TWRP can boot to recovery!
... (doing it as I type)... it booted to recovery.. then insta rebooted to system!
edit: ok, got into recovery using CWM manager!
edit: SlimSaber installed.... and so far so good... browser is working (was one of the things borked in slimrom)... and well.. all good.. no need to install gapps.. all works out of the box... sweet... lets hope it stays that way
Thank again

A question. After attempting to flash a theme... I got a bootloop. So I flashed the provided undo file. Now my phone will not boot past the Galaxy S 2 screen with the warning triangle. Any help? I'm kinda panicking...
dont you make any cwm backup first ?
i believe u can still enter recovery mode ( power + home + volume up ) ,
and do full wipe, and flash any other rom .zip .
p/s: i believe you already have root, and install any rom before
no i didnt... i was rooted. i have both cwm and download mode... but phone wont boot. I live in canada so samsung has not uploaded our stock rom files...
If it is not backup-ed, then you will have an issue.
Now, try wipe phone via CWM, clear cache and clear dalvik.
Finger's crossed it work.
If not, last choice will be install any Custom ROM and it will wipe (hopefully) all the not 'right' files.
nope.... nothing... guess i will take it in for warranty... thank you anyways my friend
I got that as well in the past, although mine was caused by incompletely flashing Cyanogen. Had a major freakout before I figured it out.
The only way I found to fix it is to flash stock firmware using Odin (and you will not be able to restore stock Canadian as it hasnt been released for us yet). I went with the xxKG2 (polish firmware I think).
There may be other ways to fix the problem but this will 99% sure take care of it. Your warranty will of course be void untill the Canadian firmware is released.
Cheers!

An additional note: from what I understand you're also getting the insecure kernel triangle. If the counter in download mode also shows that you flashed non-official firmware/kernel, your warranty could already be void. In that case Samsung may now honour their Limited Warranty Agreement.

right but when i purchased the phone i also purchased an extended warranty that covers software problems

repeatedly :/ also, there is no publicly released canadian firmware afaik... so flashing an official/stock rom isnt really possible in this case..
on a side note, in recovery mode, it appears that /emmc encountered an error in mounting while all others mounted fine... not sure if this has any relevence, but there you go

/emmc is the external sd card, you probably don't have one in the slot so it wasn't able to mount it.
The Yellow Triangle means you had something changed in the kernel partition, so the custom binary counter went up by 1.
As for stock rom, you will have to wait for Bell Canada to release one.
If you are not looking for stock, I'd recommend CyanogenMOD7, however it is still on nightly development, which means it has it fair share of issues.
I prefer CM7 and its problem over the stock which also has a fair share of issues.
if you can use downloading mode , you can flash back stock rom. believe me it will work.
you can study how to flash back stock rom using odin here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Are you sure you've "repeatedly" followed those instructions? You claim that flashing a stock ROM isn't possible. But those instructions require you to flash a stock ROM.
You don't have to flash the ROM that is specific to your region/carrier. Just flash ANY stock ROM to get your phone working again. Then you can flash back to whatever ROM you were on previously.
But if you wanted to get back onto whatever ROM your phone initially came with, you're out of luck.
hi all, my phone simply would not boot, it shows a down load error screen whenever i try to power up the phone.
i am not able to get into the reset screen using "up vol + home + power", but i am able to get to the download screen using "down vol + home + power"

Wow... you repartitioned the phone. Something that was repeatedly told not to do. Now you have a screwed up partition.
Now you will have to find a official stock rom for your phone, and the correct pit file, then repartition it and hope it works.
The first rule of Odin (for 99% of us) : you never flash a PIT file.
I feel like that should be stickied front page. It would save a lot of people a lot of trouble and possibly around 700$.

Double check the md5 checksum to see if it is the same as posted if it is posted at all. If not, double check the file size to see if they are the same. Most browsers say the file downloaded is complete when it was disconnected somewhere, and the file is incomplete.
I find it hard to take devs seriously, when they don't post filesize or don't post md5 checksum. Either that, or those two information is really hard to find, not on the download page.
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/content.php/319
Ok so what i mean is cant start the phone I just get the logo with a yellow triangle at the bottom of the page so I tried to flash kernels but that doesnt help, but whenever I try to flash bigger files with Odin (I think they are firmwares, i downloaded them from Intratech's post) or Villainrom 1.1 it always fails when it says boot.bin in the message window for the big files and factoryfs.img for villain rom
Hey all. There's a lot knowledgeable folks around here, so I thought I'd see if I can get some help on my problem.
I've got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi (GT-P7510, non-branded, UEKME), that I rooted about two months ago, using the instructions found on the Android Forums (can't post a link, but ti's the basic easy way to root, using Odin3). Not a superuser, but wanted to be able to back up everything. Seemed easy enough and the rooting went fine.
Haven't done anything else to it, aside from installing a few run of the mill apps. It did auto-update a couple of times.
Was working fine, now it just got stuck on this screen with a message:
Code:
ODIN3 Download Mode
(Protocol v2.1)
Reason: No Kernal
Secure Mode: Secure
Check Signature: Check
Custom Binary Download: No (0 counts)
Custom Binary: Samsung Official
Waitting USB Cable...

Do not turn off target!!
Apparently, it went to this screen while I was away. I didn't see it until I picked it up and there it was. It comes to this screen after the Samsung title screen (not the animation) and a VERY quick screen with some red writing (goes by too fast to see what it says).
I tried to follow the original instructions again. Put the tab in download mode (power + volume down), open Odin3, select the md5, and hit start. Get a FAIL with this message:
Code:
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

The screen on the tab updates with this:

DownloadPartition_odin: Error to WritePartition![err:0x30000]
Tegra_Nand_Write: Error to DownloadPartition_odin![err:0x30000]
That's as far as I've gotten. I noticed the Re-Partition option is not checked in Odin3, and the errors on the tab have to do with partitions... but didn't want to do that if I could eff it up even more.
I'm also wondering if one of the auto-updates didn't muck up the works. Maybe messed with my bootloader? Again, didn't want to go doing dangerous things without some reassurance. Also, I can't get into recovery mode; it just kinda flashes when I hit the button and stays on the option screen for download/recovery.
Any direction on how to proceed?
Any advice would be so great. It's been like this for about a week and I can't find any help. Thanks everyone.
TL;DR: Stuck in Download Mode, get errors on re-root.
This helped me and I've seen it help many others too in similar situations. Since you're stuck in download mode already it might need to be adjusted and followed from somewhere other than the beginning.
Goto http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=5
Towards the bottom of the guide There is a section called Restocking yer system.
Follow that on down.
Make sure you use the files for you device (7500 or 7510).
Make sure you triple check that you follow everything as suggested. The most common one I see missed is the last step of doing a Wipe data/factory reset.
Let us know how it goes, as this keeps us trying to help when we know we're successful.

You have an incomplete bootsector the bootloader is broken but ofcourse your recovery is safe. Just flash a stock firmware on top of it, or flash CWM. You don't have to worry about the options being checked as Odin 1.83 onwards fixes this issue.
Well, I was really hopeful when I read your response and read through the guide, but alas, I still got the FAIL when running Odin.
Aside from the rom, what else is there? I know of bootloaders, but not their function or how they work, and undersstand that loading the incorrect one (or incorrectly) can really make my tab a brick.
Are there any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help so far, maybe we can get this thing working. It's a shame - I've only had it for a couple of months...
Is there any other way to flash my firmware and/or repair my bootsector/bootloader?
Thanks for your help.

If you followed what I posted, and triple checked every step and check box in the guide was exactly what you did, then I'm lost for other suggestions. Misledz is on a different time than here, so you can either try my process again, if that's what you used, making sure you do evrything as said in the restocking yer system guide on down or wait for more help.
Yeah, I was hoping because it was a really well written guide with links to the correct files right there that I'd have some luck. The directions are pretty straightforward, so I don't think I missed anything, but I can certainly try again.
Thanks, I'll update in a bit.
I think I'm going to have to wait to see if Misledz has any other suggestions - I just tried it again and got the same fail.

Sorry that sucks.
Hope Misledz or someone comes along for you.
Best of luck.
Edit: Looking at the Odin repartition error makes me think it may be a full hardware failure issue. But there is still hope with the right files or method for it to be fixed.
I can't find it, but there was another thread here with the same "Reason: No Kernal" error and I think it turned out to be a hardware failure.
Sorry well yeah I've been on offset timezone's and I tend to check this section regularly as I hope to learn more about the tablet In hopes I can get some development done on it.
In the sense I'll assure you that you can't really brick the tablet as they are somewhat hard to brick via software, unless you install a firmware that isn't compatible (Like a 7500 on a 7510) or like wipe the bootloader. Put it this way anything done in download mode is safe.
Now to your query. It can't be a hardware issue because as you can see the tablet itself boots perfectly to Odin.
I would suggest skipping the v4 of CWM and flash the v5
[http://www.mediafire.com/?6c5tdmds927npdv]
and
http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=15
Normally errors like this occur only because of cases like ramdisk being different. One is the 5.1 and the other is the 5.5 version, I suggest it's best to try both. I feel you will have better luck testing both. No worries they are both safe and the 4.0.4 has some issues as far as some tablet's are concerned.

I notice the second file is in a p7500 directory. I'm guessing this is an all-encompassing directory with p7500 and 7510 files?
EDIT: I see that the file is for all versions (75xx). Thanks.
I'm at work now, but I'll try it when I get home and give an update.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
*fingers crossed*
Dammit. No luck.
Did you already tried flashing with a pit file?
Flash with pit will rebuild your partitions.
When loading pit file repartition will automaticaly be select.
Do not repartion without pit file or your device will become abrick.
After flash with pit file you will see a lot of errors this is normal
And will be fixed after factory reset.
Good luck.

I've used the pit file and tar file from the guide that Benzoman directed me to. I also tried using the updated CWMs that were suggested (although a pit file wasn't included).
I had installed the windows drivers a while back, but just installed the Kies. Interestingly, after that, I tried flashing again and, although it still failed, it took a lot longer (as opposed to almost instantly). Almost thought I had it for a second...
Am I right in thinking that I can use the pit file from the guide and the tar file from CWM together?
Slightly off-topic; what's the purpose of flashing a bootloader? That's one thing I haven't tried yet.
Thank you for your continued help. I would have lost all hope by now if it weren't for you and this forum.
So is it all good? I don't tend to like leaving people who need help Especially when it's also educational for me.
Flashing a bootloader wouldn't be advisable cause it may really brick the tab.
You don't really need to pit file as it is used for repartioning, flashing just the PDA is good enough

No, it's still stuck. It seems like any pit file I try doesn't work, which was why I was asking about the bootloaders (I know it's dangerous, but for all intents and purposes, it's already bricked).
I don't know what else to do; I was hoping the updated CWM would help, but it runs into the same problem the other pda files have. I'd be more than happy to try any other suggestions you may have.
Thanks again.
I don't know if it's any help, but I was able to capture the really quick flash of red text as it boots. See attachment.

Hey guys... i have a big problem on my Samsung Galaxy S II (g)
(ive searched for an answer but I was not able to find one)
okay lets go:
[LIST]
[*]i have this phone now for 1/2 year i think.
[*]rooted
[*]android 4.0.3 with 3.0.8-TH
[email protected]
SMP PREEMPT kernel
[/LIST]
I've wiped my phone a month ago.
[LIST]
[*]now I have severe problems with the sound of my phone
it will lag every 1-3 secs with a shift from 0.5 sec~ (this is bad because I'm a music producer and need my phone!)
if my phone is charging, i can hear music without problems. i can't play games (I tried it, I normally do not play on mobile)
my soundcloud lags too, its not only a player problem.
[*]sometimes my phone freezes.. (before a wipe this happend 30-40 secs after reboot annoying)
[*]my cell phone simply reboots when it wants. quite annoying.
[/LIST]
i think its something with voltage distribution.
ive tried so much. wipe my phone several times, unroot, root again, fix permissions.. nothing worked
[LIST]
[*]calls are unaffected
[*]sometimes if i want to hear music, and the screen is off, the lags are gone.. sometimes
[/LIST]
pls help. i need my phone, do you guys have any ideas?!
edit:
sorry if the english is not pefect, im german :/
--------------------------------------
post2
now i have some more problems
[LIST]
[*]sometimes the "loading" sound play randomly
[*]the lock screen sound comes 2 secs later
[*]i cant connect my phone via usbconnection (in settings) to my computer, it says "usb connected please disconnect" after a fresh restart same problem. (without connect before)
[*]my phone freezes more often
[/LIST]
i cant do anything.. wipe my phone will end in the same problems
wipe dalvik cache too..
it worked for some month before with the same settings...
something with my permissions wrong?
[/I][/SIZE]
Small Text is already fixed.. thanx guys
I search a Rooted kernel for my i9100g
already tried and doesnt work with:
CWM-R (via odin) + root.zip/SU-BB.zip // causes bootloop
Philz CWM root pacakge for Galaxy S2 // does not work causes bootloop
Siyah-s2-v6.0b4 // does not work too and causes bootloop too
found a working root with stock recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065581
back to my problems..
still have soundlags in my entire system..
cant hear music. cant watch videos... the bootanimation-sound lags too..
i still think this is something with my permissions.. are permissions wiped too? or are they on the phone alone ( i mean how much voltage for cpu or stuff like this)
dunno how to delete copied this post in my 1.
Oh guys pls. I wrote so much informations down and got no answersm other ppl here just wrote "my phone stops working" and got 10 answers. Pls.
I need help!!
Do a completely clean install of the rom you're using (no restoring apps initially), then reinstall/restore apps a couple at a time to rule in/out something like that as a cause. Setups sometime go wonky after a couple of months, I normally do a clean install every 3 mths or so if I stick with one rom to avoid the type of thing you're talking about. It's time well spent.
If the problem persists, do a completely clean install of a stock rom, again reinstall/restore a couple of apps at a time. See how that goes.
"now a bootloop"

reset the flashcounter and try to tell the shop that this happend after the last OTA update? xD
worked one time for a broken nokia n95 long time ago (uff i think it was a n95)
Yes, you could reset the flash counter & send it in for warranty service. However, all they'll likely do is wipe the phone & put the latest stock firmware they have on it. Which might fix the problem. Or it might not. But there's nothing to suggest it's a hardware problem.
I'm not sure why you'd flash a bootloader ? You only flash bootloaders if you have a specific reason for doing so I.E rom you're running won't boot without running a particular bootloader (I'm still running old GB bootloader, never had a problem running any ICS rom with it). I don't know if you can use that bootloader or not; I'm not familiar with what bootloaders work with which roms on the I9100G.
When you were using CM9, did you ever use Rom Manager ? That would explain the bootloop you were having at that time; Rom Manager is notorious for causing bootloops/breaking recovery with Samsung devices.
Honestly, if it were me (tho I have an I9100), I'd root the phone (flash a rooted kernel with CWM), format cache, data, system in CWRecovery then Odin flash a stock rom, tho this may not necessarily be the way to go with an I9100G. Wait & see if someone with an I9100G reads your thread & might have seen this problem before.

ive used cm9 on my old droidX but not on this phone.. the only thing ive used was 4.0.1 i think before it was in germany..(french rom) with root and cwm recovery.
someday it start lagging.. if i hear music with screen on it will lagg horrible..
it starts to play the "loading" sound randomly..
it starts also to reboot if it want to.
after all of that (the problems if tried to explain in the first post) i tried to wipe my data.. it worked.. but the problems was still there..
today my phone just turned of like everyday 40 times.. and stucked on the boot screen..
now ive flashed my phone with the newest ICS (4.1.2) with succeed (2 times) but it wont start..
ive tried to flash the kernel alone.. still same problem.
oh man.. this is my nightmare.. im a musician.. i need my phone to hear my music or bring it to friends who play my music in the clubs, call with important ppl.. (play thats not sooo important.. i have still a usb drive)
i need my phone
hmh.. maybe you can give it a look with teamviewer (maybe skype to talk) and my cam pointed on my phone.
if you want.
anyway. thanks for your help.
i hate my edits:
i try now your last sentence..
sorry.. overread it
okay ive tried it...
now there is a other bootscreen.. after that samsung gs2 comes a configuating android (normal) and a only "samsung" screen
now after 5 minutes of waiting (jeah i can wait a long time xD)
theres "installing applications"
it works..
finaly.. THANKS!
i love you..
it didnt worked with only ICS.. but with CWM.. nice..
i hope the problems are gone..
if it is so.. i will mark this thread as solved..
thanks again.
edit:
it look like it worked... so.. i will mark this as solved.. but pls.. dont close it.. i will test it for 2-3 days.. after that i want be able to change the prefix

Aren't there rooted kernels you can flash for the I9100G rather than having to mess around with flashing multiple files ? (I don't know because I don't have an I9100G).

Try this thread, found it in my bookmarks from > 12 mths ago. Not sure if there's any current kernels you can use, ask in the thread.
Edit - And be careful, don't flash a I9100 kernel to your phone (check thoroughly, if in doubt, don't flash) or you'll end up back at square one.

Done but my soundproblems are back.
I think its the permissions.
Is there a way to reset my permissions or that someone with "stock-permissions" can send me his?
I had permission denied pro installed before it start like this (found out after a long time of thinking)
It tried to fix permissions without asking me. And after a hour i think or 30 minuts my phone reboots. I think it "crashed"
I Would try to fix this through fixing again my permissions via permissions denied pro. But i cat root my phone. (Causes bootloop with 3 methods i tried all in my first post)
This is killing me
Edit:
Found a working root
I will post the link later.im on my phone.
But permission denied pro does nothing. Just scan my device an finished. Im confused.
Someone here with 9100g and rom toolbox pro?
Need the build.prop and kerneltweaks (if not changed) to compare
Would be awesome
Someone?

You should have put more information in your first post...I would instead flash back to a stock rom with Odin and see if this restores everything for you.If you get a bootloop after installing stock rom boot into recovery and do a factory reset there are plenty of guides on here on how to do that.

No the most important thing first is to get your phone with a working os on it please read the stickies that's what they are their for to help .Then you will need to install a recovery I recommend Philz or latest cm recovery then install 4.4 from sd card..
Is your SD Card formated exFat ? Is it 64GB ? Try to format it Fat32 (you will lose all data). I don't think that's the problem if you are using latest Philz Touch, which recognizes both formats !

I read it. And I also had this issue . He deleted / formated the System partition. He can simply install another ROM. Not need to go to stock, reroot, reflash recovery... If you have used Philz before you know that you can wipe data for a clean install. That deletes also the system leaving you without OS. So it is not that a big if a deal.

I honestly can't see how I would have done that, the last thing I used my phone for was to check the football scores. I then put it down to play on the computer, I come back to use it and it's switched off and this has happened. How could I have done that?
Anyhow, if i have, how would i go about installing another ROM? I want to go back to Omnirom 4.4 but the nightlies are zip files, which I don't think you can flash through odin?

Very true but you did not read properly he did not have PhilZ he had Twrp recovery and because he had not posted enough information in original post I recommended to go back to stock and start again this insures a clean system. Also you do not need to root again when you go back to stock if you are going to flash custom roms because they all come already rooted..
I think now the easiest method (not so quick) would be to flash thr stock ROM, reroot again and install the recovery. What recovery are you using ? Have you tried to mount the partitions ? I guess that the internal storage is not damaged . Or you can sideload the ZIP in a command prompt. Find a tutorial (it is easy - just a step) and the files needed. It is kinda faster than going back to stock.

Damaged Nand probable .
Or you have Kies running ??
What does Product Code say in download mode .
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.

-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

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. 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.
These are the exact steps I followed, after accidentally flashing the N7100 bootloader onto my i605 Note 2. You MIGHT also have to flash the i605 EFS file to restore your baseband. On ocassion, I had to or I would get Unknown Bootloader. It would also help to flash the "I605VRAMC3 Modem.zip" file, to ensure you're on the i605 Modem.

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..

the EFS would be flashed via Odin, Modem is flashed via TWRP Recovery. I attached the modem and efs that I used to this post.
I'm glad my post could help you

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?

ran in odin
MJ5 bootloader
Now, gt-n7100 is flashing whenever I plug in my phone
I have about 18% battery life left and can't charge because I get the boot loop as soon as I plug in my phone so I unplugged it.

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472270
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.
http://www.androidayos.com/2014/04/26/root-n7100xxufnd3-galaxy-note-2-android-4-4-2-kitkat-update/
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0ByGZ52Krjat1QzdBWVJZTlk0VTg&export=download
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?
