So, I'm obviously quite new here. I rooted my Note 2 back when I first got it about 2 years ago lol. Had it rooted with 4.1.2 on it and some old version of cleanrom.
Having the Note 4 Pre-Ordered, I decided to un-root my phone and update it in case someone wants to buy it off of me.
Basically I unrooted, added new stock rom to it, now it is stuck in bootloop and I cannot boot into recovery.
__________________
What have I done?
1) UnRooted from SuperSU
2) Wipped it in the system settings and TW recovery (CleanROM was still on it)
-
Since it still had the cleanrom on it, I went over to SamMoible to download my version of the stock 4.1.2 Firmware
I ran it in odin and everything went perfect, and it rebooted and now it's stuck in a bootloop. I CANNOT boot it into recovery from PWR+HOME+UVOL
-
Now I've tried running through adb to boot it into recovery and that did not work. I'm guessing because USB Debugging cannot be on with the phone fresh like this.
I can boot it into download, and I've tried re-adding that same stock rom onto the phone and it fails everytime.
I downloaded another SCH-605 4.1.2 stock rom, and it still fails just like the other one.

If you haven't seen it already, you should check out Droidstyle's restore guide at this link: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181). His guide has links and detailed instructions on how to restore back to stock. (go to section 1b for instructions on how to restore back to stock 4.1.2).
As far as ODIN failing... From what I've read, you should connect your phone to a usb 2.0 port on the computer rather usb 3.0, so try different ports. Also make sure to run ODIN as administrator. I've also read that trying different usb cables and disabling antivirus programs can help when ODIN fails.
As you probably know, Android build 4.1.2 is the last build for our phones that allows us to unlock the bootloader... so I would personally restore it back to 4.1.2 and leave it there. I think it would have more value on Swappa if you're going to sell it there.
Hope this helps and Good luck!

Hey, I tried changing the ports and made sure it was a 2.0 port.
Still getting the FAIL from odin at the same spot.
EDIT; I ENDED UP FIXING IT WITH SOME HELP FROM MY DAD lol
We had to put a new Pit file on it and re-partition it.
Thanks everyone!

What version of Android is your phone currently running? If it's on 4.3 or 4.4.2, then you can't use ODIN to downgrade back to 4.1.2 because of locked bootloader.
If you can post the error report you're getting in ODIN, it will be useful to assist others with helping you troubleshoot.

When you say that you've tried nearly everything to fix it... hopefully you haven't ODIN flashed any other stock firmware onto the device that was from different phones-- if so, you may have messed up the bootloader. Here's a link to the 4.4.2 firmware if you need it, but I bet you got your file from there already.
You've probably tried this... but you could try flashing just the firmware without the pit file to see if that might work. You could also try to flash them both at the same time to see if that might work.
The most common fixes I've read for ODIN errors are to try other USB ports (the ones on the back of the computer near the power supply seem to be good choices and use a usb 2.0 port), try other USB cables (preferably the original one that came with the phone if it's in good shape), turn off Anti virus programs/ firewalls, make sure you are running ODIN as Administrator. Here's a thread that might provide some other tips for ODIN problems: (GUIDE--Troubleshoot a failed ODIN flash). It's for a different phone, so don't use any of the files linked in the thread...... but the tips provided should be helpful for troubleshooting.
If ODIN version 3.07 isn't working, you could try a newer version of ODIN. Here's some links to other ODIN versions that you might try: Download link for ODIN 3.09 ; Download link for ODIN 3.10.0. ~~With the newer ODIN versions, they have replaced the "PDA" slot with "AP"--so the .tar firmware file goes into AP in the newer ODIN. ****(For reference--Here's the XDA Thread where XDA recognized contributor -CALIBAN666- posted these links to newer ODIN versions. Hit the thanks button for him ****
---------------
If you can't get the restore to work with ODIN, you could always try Samsung Kies to see if it can fix the device...
Where to download Kies -- http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
Emergency Firmware Recovery using Kies 3 -- http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00059169/81100
I hope that some of this info helps and that you can get it fixed. Good luck!!

Hello guys, i am a bit embarrased that in my first post i am already asking for something
So.. here is the problem, i bought a S2 gt-i9100 from poland. I tried to root it, and well... it didnt went as expected...
I was careless and only managed to write the following stuf about the original firmware. It was version 2.3.5 and the last 3 letters of kernel were KI4.
So there i went following a how to from this site, and odin worked fine, used the file i thought it would be fine from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17704099&postcount=6 list of files.
Well it didnt work out, the phone would accept odin file and restart, but it stayed forever on the while triangle screen. So i turned it off and started trying different files, from that page. Then i realized it wouldn't work, i tried to bring it back to original status, but no luck.
After trying to use odin to write those original sanmsung firmwares, odin is stuck now, it gives no error, it just stays there for ever writing fimware, kernel or whatever i feed odin with....
So this is the status, i can access download mode, and thats it.
It would be great if you could give me any advice. Been the whole day working with this problem, and i am feeling kinda sad.
Thank you for your time.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Maybe try to turn off the computer and try again. Also make sure kies is not running and kill it in the system tray.
If no good then flash stock from the intratech thread here:

You might need to find the one for your carrier.
You've got download mode so it can be fixed.

What official firmware is HTC Mania ??????????
jje
is just the name file that is modified. content is original firmware
Suggest you start at the beginning download an older stock firmware not one of the latest .
Stock Roms .and csc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Boot to recovery go to mounts and storage and FORMAT cache data system and sd card .
Power off phone is now blank .
Download mode and via Odin install the stock firmware .
jje
recovery is not accesable, only thing working is download mode
I switched to another computer and everything went right.
Thank you for your help.
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
Link for modem download.

Using big fonts doesn't help. :laugh:
You tried to flash ME7. Why? What build were you running prior to your failed flash? What did you try to flash that failed?
Probably CM, AOSP, or some other build that's never going to work..
At this point, I'd suggest installing Samsung Kies and using the emergency firmware recovery.
Then, before flashing ANYTHING ELSE. reading at least the stickies in this and the general forum.
What you did was completely avoidable.

Sorry for the big font!!! First post testing out the features.
I don't know why i was trying to flash ME7. I found it on another thread on here and a lot of people said it worked for them, not for me. I was running 4.3. I tried flashing SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore.tar.md5 two other unknown recoveries I found here and there.
I tried installing Kies. I got it installed and everything but my phone will not connect to Kies. I have tried multiple different downloads for drivers and the troubleshooting in Kies. It just won't work.
Any ideas??

First idea would be stop flashing random builds. You need to find out what build you are on, and flash that through Odin. Once you update to a newer build, you cannot revert back to an older build.

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?

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.

did you have tep? did you tell them what you tried?
Hi Guys, I'm new on this forum but I really need someone's help.
So, Last week I've bought Samsung s4 from the internet, it turned out to be SCH-I545 Verizone with 4.4.2 android. I didn't have menu in my language (Polish) so I decided to install 5.0.1 and that was my biggest mistake. Now my phone doesn't see my SIM card from T-mobile, I don't have Polish language at all, I have lots of useless Verizone apps, and I would like to get back 4.4.2 or install custom ROM where I could find Polish language. The problem is I have no idea how to do this, because I only know how to install softwares by ODIN. I've read a lot about this and the problem is I can't install custom recovery because it says FAIL at the end, I can't root my phone and I don't know why, i've tried towelroot, kingoroot and others but they all doesnt work. Can You please tell me what should I do or give my some links with instruction because I'm helpless and please I'm layman in this topic so it must be written like for someone who is 5 years old. . . Thank You in advance, I hope there is some solution for my problem. .
Go to network mode and select global...i535 are sim free. Just change what i said.
I did it and i can phone but internet doesn't work, I still prefer to change this software for some other. Can You help me with that ?
