A couple days ago, within an hour of using my phone and everything seeming to be fine, my phone got stuck at the Galaxy Note II logo. Thinking that it locked up and reset itself or something like that while in my pocket, I pulled the battery because it didn't respond to the power button. after I replaced the battery and turned it on, it stopped at the same screen. After a few attempts, I tried to get into recovery mode and it only got to the download screen. After some research, it sounded like I could maybe flash the stock rom onto the phone and get back up and running. so I downloaded ODIN and found what I thought was the correct ROM and tried to flash it. ODIN gave an error about unable to find a PIT file, so more googleing later, I found a PIT file and tried again. ODIN tried for about 10 minutes and then failed. My phone was still on the download screen so I thought to just try the process completely from the start again. I unplugged my phone from the computer and tried to restart it, I think by holding the power button down but I may have just pulled the battery. once my phone turned off it hasn't turned back on again. It wont even attempt to charge when I plug it into the wall.
So I ask the people who are far more experienced with this kind of thing, did I unrecoverably mess up my phone, or is there something I can still do?

Hey guys, I was using odin to flash back to stock. My GPS died and was going to try to get a replacement before I tried the hardware fix.
I went to flash back to stock using ODIN, it got stuck on modem.bin. After reading a bunch on people getting stuck here, it looked like it was safe to unplug and try again. I unplugged and now my phone will not turn on at all. Simply a black screen... no recovery, no download mode, no battery status when plugged in. Nothing.
I need some ideas here!
Thanks!!!
This worked for me in similar situations: Pull the battery, plug-in the usb cable, do the three-finger thing (or two finger or whatever works with your boot-loader) and then put in the battery and hope.
I bought my Galaxy Note II right after it came out, and after a few months, I had unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone, and installed the Mean Bean ROM. I ran it with ZERO problems until...
Yesterday my phone dies after the battery is fully discharged, and when I plug it in, all I see is the pre-boot battery, as if it is about to charge, but the circular loading symbol is dead in the middle, frozen. The LED light up top won't do anything either.
I could get it into recovery and download mode, although the battery would not charge, so the phone had to be plugged in no matter what. Did a clean wipe and tried reflashing the ROM, then I tried flashing both the stock roms from stockroms.net for the Verizon Note 2. Every flash failed.
I went into download mode to try and flash the stock roms via Odin, but Odin wouldn't recognize my phone. Reinstalled the Samsung Mobile Drivers (yes the correct ones), tried using the Toolkit, but no matter what, Odin wouldn't recognize my phone. No comport number, nothing.
Next, I took out the usb charging port in the phone, made sure nothing was damaged or unplugged, and put it back it. No change. Went to bed frustrated as all hell.
This morning, I tried everything again a second time, and the next thing I know, hours later, the phone shows 11% battery in recovery mode, but no change otherwise. This whole time, I've been using Team Win Recovery Project, so I decide to switch to ClockWorkMod. I get the file on the sd card, put it into the phone, and...
Nothing. That 11% disappeared apparently. Now I cannot boot into recovery mode or download mode, let alone get the frozen battery indicator. What now?
Could be the charging port is damaged. About 2 months ago my phone looked like it was charging when I plugged it in (would show charging indicator), but really wasn't. Called Verizon and got a warranty replacement.

Over the past couple days, I have been doing research on how to bring my phone back to it's factory firmware.
I tried a couple things, one of them ended up in being stuck on the Download mode, saying that the Firmware Upgrade was incomplete.
I managed to get out of it using a .tar on Odin to bring it back out. It worked. I was at my home screen. Everything was working beautifully. Honestly, I am still a nub when it comes to some of these things. So in that case I had no idea what I was doing.
Now, I have found the original firmware for my phone, and when I was getting ready to use it, I turned off my phone and rebooted it into Recovery mode.
Now when it starts up, it says "Recovery Mode" in the corner in little blue letters as it should.
And then it just goes to a blank black screen.... I have waited for probably 45 minutes, still nothing is happening.
I take out the battery, unplug it, all that jazz, and then reassemble it. And when I try to turn it on normally, just to get back to my home screen, it does the same thing.
I can't get it back to anything. I think something I did either erased or corrupted my recovery, and now it won't do anything.
Halp.
Soo... I have a S2 and S3. I use the S2, today I woke up for my phone freezing on Samsung Logo. I tried booting Recovery, froze on Team Win logo, so I guessed that something is the software went wrong. I decided to flash some Recovery from Odin and boot into Recovery. I Googled, downloaded one recovery, flashed it via Odin, didn't work, tried another one, didn't work, I would put out the battery every time between tries. And boom it wont turn on, only gets warm in the camera region. So I tried all the combinations of putting it the power with and without battery, pushing all the button combinations etc. I told myself I'll deal with it later, need a phone right now. So I used a spare phone my brother game me, an S3. It had a stock ROM and I wanted to flash JB on it. I rooted the S3, downloaded TWRP for Odin, flashed it with Odin, it didn't work, it booted me to a stock recovery, so I rebooted the phone, it went to Samsung logo, I removed the battery to go faster to Download Mode and try something else, and it wont turn on. What happened and what can I do to fix that? I really need a phone for tomorrow. Please help.
Hi guys, I have a samsung galaxy j600fn/ds, tryed to flash twrp, something went wrong and now I'm locked on the ''Samsung'' logo screen
I guess it is brick, though I'm totally stuck at the screen, the phone won't even turn off, so I don't know how to acces download mode to install stock firmware.. anyone can be of help?
EDIT: solved.. of course the solution was just to wait for the battery to be completley depleted, I just got scared there not beeing able to do anything
Wait-
So you just let your phone in bootloop all night (?), then you charge it without turning it on,
waited till 30%, and then you put it in download mode and installed the firmwere?
Does it really work? 'cause I tried to do that before, and the bootloop stopped. I tought I ended up into an hard brick.
I pressed powen and tried to put the phone into download mode, but nothing.
I put the usb on my pc, and odin was actually reading it, so I tried again and again to get into the download mode.
Afret 30 minutes, i pressed power again, (and finally) the boorloop restarted.
Well um.. the phone now is probably at 60%.. I hope it wont stop again, and I hope this method will work.
