it works great, until I see some red frame around and tried to fix it by going to buildprop and editing the buildtype from dev to user (what I found on the internet), but then I found out that mine is already user so I tried changed it to dev and when I restart, the phone stuck on samsung logo,but I am still able to go to recovery mode,the problem is I cant get odin to flash any rom to my note, it always stuck at factoryfs.img. then I installed abys kernell to wipe my factory reset, cache, dalvik, then I started to flash with odin again, with the patched pit file I got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886, and the official update from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, suddenly it works, and I tried to restore data from CWM ( stupid me)....turns out it got back again on the logo samsung and stuck there and so i tried flashing again and it started to stuck around factoryfs everytime, I tried to use abyss but this time after I wiped everything and used the patched pit file like before, it still stuck, so I found a post from the internet, it was custom ICS, i forgot where i got it but i have the file if you'd like to know, and so i tried, then it leaves me with my counter started to count 1 and still stuck at factoryfs....and I cant even go to recovery mode now, I have tried USB JIG and I succeeded to turn the counter back to zero but still stuck at factoryfs.img and still cant go to recovery mode even through bootloader,..... please help! i love my gnote

Hi Bro m stck at the same position as u so can u please tell me how did u get this fixed ?
Honestly it is all very confusing. Best to stick to a reputable source for flashing and troubleshooting.
There are dangerous guides on the internet not updated to circumnavigate later discovered brick.

Noob here, please bear with me:
Updated my I577 to ICS, then rooted it using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806118
Worked like a charm, then I picked up ROM Toolbox Lite from PlayStore, which worked fine until I tried to change themes.
Somehow, it got to where boot was stuck at vendor logo. Unfortunately I did not Nandroid backup in time, but I was able to do a Kies backup before rooting, so not worry about the data loss at this time.
Used CWM5, did davlik & cache wipes, factory resets several times, no dice. No stock ROM available so I tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30444507&postcount=6
(flashed system tar through ODIN) Hanged at "system.img.ext4".
Here's where I'm at now:
-- Boot looping at second Samsung logo
-- ODIN 1.85 still reads device at port
-- Battery indicator visible when plugged in & power off.
-- Still able to get to cwm recovery 5.5.0.4
So, IS IT SOFT BRICKED OR HARD BRICKED?
Bonus Question: Is it unbrickable?
Any input or answers are GREATLY appreciated, and a fix will most likely be monetarily compensated through Paypal.
Black-wolf, j3r3goss, or shabbypenguin if you see this, your input is certainly appreciated as well!
Its soft bricked. Hard brick means there is no life at all and won't even power on (through software).
Any soft brick is unbrickable, the only nonunbrickable brick is a hard brick (which is rare)

If you can get into Clockwork Mod Recovery still then select wipe data (Do this twice), then select whipe cache (Do this twice), next select factory reset (Do this twice), finally go back and select reboot system. This should unbrick your phone for you

If you can get into recovery you're only in shallow water

THANKS so far for the input!
I was able to nandroid out of the loop, but now it's back to my original problem--it keeps booting to the "Rethink Possible" AT&T screen & freezing.
Any ideas? I'm thinking I'm gonna be outta luck until I get my hands on a legit Gingerbread Stock tar.
Did you whipe cache, whipe data and preform a factory reset like we suggested? Preforming a nandroid restore won't get you out of your phone hanging on the at&t logo.

Are you able to get into recovery mode? Did you flash a custom recovery such as TWRP or Clockwork Mod Recovery?

Hi thanks for your response to my problem,
yes i flashed a custom recovery from clockwork and i rooted it. i cant get in to recovery mode.
after i did that i tried flashing custom rom like i said before but after reboot it didnt do anything.
i just got the startscreen and found that i could use download mode and odin to flash original rom.
i used 1 click downloader from Odin and it started to recover my rom,but at the end it stalled.
after that happened i couldnt do anything anymore.
i thought it was totally dead but i just saw that when i connect to my comp it says unknown device..
im an idiot for trying this stuff without the knowledge..it looked easy in descriptions
but i found different descriptions how to do it..
i cant put links in my posts yet cause i am new..
i used the 1st one.. but after that didnt work i found that other 1 and that is little different...

I did all that, but the one thing that finally nailed it was formatting my internal SD. I also formatted my external one, but I don't even think I put it back in the phone.
So, if anybody's reading this in the future, and you're still stuck after wiping the cache, wiping Davlik & performing factory reset,
FORMAT THE SD!
And flash this through Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31765274&postcount=59

Hey, total noob here but Im having problems with my Galaxy S4 so I was on this thread looking for a fix.I have an AT&T Galaxy s4 (SGH-I337) and I just rooted my phone and installed clockworkmod recovery. I went to backup and then when I rebooted it freezes at the AT&T logo. Ive wiped data/factory reset, wiped caches, etc ive done everything and it freezes at the same spot. I have no ROMS as I had just rooted, just stock 4.2.2. Then I saw a vid on how to unroot/unbrick and it was working perfectly until it went to reboot.(I downloaded 4.2.2 firmware for my model phone) I used ODIN and it said pass then when it was rebooting it froze in the exact same spot (also instead of the normal bootup it still had the "custom" and an unlocked lock that Ive had since I rooted) and now I cant enter recovery mode. It starts booting but then freezes when the blue letters come on! Now even when I try to turn it on normally it freezes at the samsung logo (with unlocked lock and "custom")Please help! I would greatly appreciate it!
I am in need of some help ASAP.!!
Have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I had rooted it and flashed different Eclipse ROMs and decided to go with CarbonROM all in one night. I liked everything about Carbon until I noticed the next day I didn't have 4g anymore and wouldn't go over 2 bars of signal. So I decided i wanted to flash back to factory unrooted. I searched and searched and read and read to make sure just how to do it for my phone. I used Odin and it successfully flashed but than when it went to reboot it keeps flashing the startup "Samsung Galaxy Note II" over and over. Is this bootloop correct? If so i have searched and searched how to fix this and nothing is working. Either Odin gets stuck at SetupConnection, or hangs, wont even recognize my Note (I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers multiple times.) and nothing is working. I have no access to recovery mode, only download.
I really need some help with this. Any input is greatly appreciated!!!!!!
If you are able to go into recovery then wipe to factory reset.... If not then try to install the stock rom via odin

I was able to finally restore it back to factory. I ended up using a stock ROM from one thread used with a pit. file from the Root/Unroot Guide on this forum along with checking the re-partitioning. It was successful the first try amazingly, entered a true bootloop as i found out (flashed 4gLTE rainbow etc over and over.) and was able to access recovery mode. Wiped cache and factory reset and rebooted. Phone is now working!!
BUT... no 4g?? only 3g and signal is still somewhat weak compared to past signals. Do I need to alter APN, IMEI, or stuff like that?? :S
Also a sidenote, I used to be 4.2.2, and now after stock restore/flash I am 4.1.2. Is this a big deal and can I upgrade to lets say 4.3 without rooting or do custom ROMs update this or do they need a base to be added to? :S
Hi !
I am using a Samsung Ace S5830i since 2 years now with a custom ROM : Ace-i-Sure 12.0, all worked properly.
Yesterday I installed an app, I do not remember which one but I think it was a game, then my phone rebooted and looped on the boot animation.
I am used to unbrick my phone and change ROM so it did not scared me.
I tried to flash the stock ROM I used to flash everytime my phone has been bricked. Flashing went OK but my phone kept looping.
I tried to wipe data/factory reset but nothing changes.
I tried with another stock ROM found here and nothing changes either.
Do you know what might causes this problem ?

and no it is not hard-bricked...
Hit thanks if I helped
I tried all the solutions you gave me but nothing works, I do not understand...
I might buy a new phone, but I ain't got much monyer, I can spend maybe 100€ or 200€ maximum
Does your phone enters into download mode and detected in odin?
What's the status during flashing ?
Then try the flashing methods on another pc.

My phone is lava iris 455(MTK6577 chipset). So, I put a custom ROM yesterday, but it was laggy so I decided to go back to stock. I had CWM recovery installed. I used SP flash tools to flash the original ROM,but after a purple bar came, the PC just froze. Everytime, the same thing happened.
I used the ROM from this link-[FIRMWARE]LAVA Iris 455 Official Jellybean 4.1.1 Firmware and everywhere on the net its the same firmware.
And my CWM recovery is gone as well;only a black screen comes up for a few seconds and then it switches off. I can't boot to recovery too.
I tried installing CWM recovery through SP flash tools, but it gave me an error saying that the handset doesn't support DRAM(didn't happen the first time I installed recovery which was yesterday).
So, what do you guys think the problem is? Is it hard bricked? My PC does recognise the phone though. Any help is appreciated.
ANyone ?
ANyone??
Dear friend it seems to me that your phone is hard bricked, as it is not booting in first boot where cwm is installed,
If it passes first boot and then struck is called soft brick which can be overcome by flashing ROM via recovery
As recovery is installed in first boot
Now as per your description it is hard bricked and you have to repair your boot
For that you have to contact person who has octopus or octoplus box it's boot to be repaired, it might cost you somewhere around 1000 rupees in india search for boot Repairing shop who have octopus box
You can Google it to find dealer Near you who have octopus box

One more thing, use PC for flashing cwm only, as it's really dangerous to flash rom or firmware from PC as if PC struck it will corrupt your phone,
Before fishing any rom via cwm please sure to take nandroid backup as the backup taken by cwm can easily be restored if some mishap occurs while flashing rom
Always use NANDROID BACKUP to restore phone to original

Which will be better?
So can you suggest which method will be better - sending it to the service centre or using your method? I bought the phone for about 7000 INR, so can you give an estimate which process will be cheaper?
Well, with SP flash tools, preloader and DSP_BL files were installed successfully. But now my PC is freezing while installing the other files. SP flash tools is stuck at Downloading Flash 0% . Any suggestions?
Why u using sp flash tool, or any other third party software, or using PC for rom purpose,
You should try cwm for all purposes like, flashing rom, to install su binary, to take firmware backup or to restore nandroid backup,
Well in case of hard brick you have to do it by octopus box, sending service center is costly affair,
Send it to good mobile Repairing person who has sound knowledge of software hacking and firmware too and who has, octopus box with him

My device is allright now. Probably there was some problem with drivers(maybe because I have an AMD CPU). Used friend's laptop, worked perfectly.
Ok then but still i recommend cwm for all rom related activities
