Please help! Sudden brick :( - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I have a note 2 rooted and on jellybean rom. I never took any update. My phone won't boot up or get into recovery. I can get into download mode but I can't get Odin to work. I've tried different USB ports and cables (have not tried different computers yet). When I plug in cable and phone to pc or outlet it gets stuck on the battery logo and circle. When I try to get into recovery it displays Samsung name off and on. I'm trying Odin back to stock but like I said it won't see my phone when connected. I will get a new cable ASAP to see if that makes a difference. I have pulled battery sim and sd several times to no avail. I will leave them out for the night and try again tomorrow. Anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks ! I really appreciate it !

looks like you've gone through most of the steps. Have you tried reinstalling the samsung drivers? Plug it in and let it charge for a few hours? Maybe the battery is too low.

Thanks for your suggestion! I have reinstalled the drivers and restarted PC already. Last night I left battery sim and sd card out but today I will leave it charged for a few hours to see if it changes. I have also ordered an new OEM charger and battery to see if that helps. I am currently transferring all files and programs for returning it to stock to my sd card so I can try it on a different PC. I will keep you posted as to my progress. Thank you so much for your help!!

Hello,
I see that you state you can not get into recovery mode, But can you get it into download mode. If so you maybe able to use adb and push the pit file to it and then install the stock rom again.

I'm unfamiliar with the steps I need to take to do adb. I've only used Odin but to update my progress or lack thereof, I am still unable to get Odin (either version) to communicate with my phone when it is connected. I have tried both my pcs (they worked in the past). I have tried different USB cables and ports. Do you know the steps I need to take to use adb? I will google it and see what I find. I will update soon. Thanks again for your help!

If you phone will not connect with your computer in download mode as well as recovery mode. I do not think there is much you can do other then see if you can get it replaced. I had have run into an issue like this before. Once I was able to get into download mode and push out the stock recovery onto the phone. But if it will not go into download mode as well there is not much I think you can do.

It will go into download mode. When connected to the pc Odin won't see it. Do you think using adb would be pointless at this point? I have not used a new USB cable so I wanted to wait at least for that to arrive along with an OEM battery I ordered to see if that helps any or is that pointless as well? Also does it matter where you store Odin on your pc ? (Internal vs on a sd card? Thanks for your help ! I may just need to send it in but wanted to try everything I could come up with.

I would first try the new cable and but it into download mode and try to push the pit file that is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
I would try to follow the un-root section I know there is a lot of issue with the note 2 and updates or unrooting where it will not find the recovery because when you use Cause it moves the location of it. This might help. good luck.

I have my new battery. Just waiting on the cables

Sounds, Like a bad EMMC, If Your Phone doesn't get in to recovery and if it wont get recognized by Odin. Try updating the drivers, than Try Flashing back to the First firmware that came with the note II which is 4.1.1 So Try it, If it doesn't work like that, than it's indeed a bad EMMC on the board. Good luck my Friend!

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm already on 4.1.1. I've never updated my note 2. I have updated drivers (although I can't find it in device manager but I've indeed downloaded it via my pc not via phone/ cable) I'm hoping its not a had EMMC because I don't know what that is but it sounds like that would make it a hardware issue correct? I'm hoping its just bad cables (I have old cables) and a bad battery (I still have the original battery on moderate to heavy usage) but recently became second device when I got note 3 (just in time lol)
Edit: is it still necessary to flash 4.1.1 if I'm already on it ? Thanks again!

Not actually true. It just needs to be a working micro USB cable. I use a generic micro USB cable (originally for a BlackBerry, I think) for all my flashing. Works fine.
this doesnt work guys, iv tried 3 different usb cables. nothing is happening it just wont connect. is it a way of installing a usb driver for my phone so it will reckonise my phone??

Yes i tried all that with no luck i just cant get my phone connected to my laptoo if i could I
could unbrick
Check for Windoze updates if you're unable to get your PC & phone to recognise each other after trying the obvious (different USB ports, different cables, different versions of Odin, making sure Kies/its processes aren't running in Task Manager on PC. Try *all* of these).
This has solved the issue for a few people over the last week or so. Failing that, uninstall Kies from your PC, reboot, redownload it, reinstall it, reboot & try again.
If that doesn't work, try a different PC.

This method not required to connect your mobile to PC.
Just need external sdcard and ics based recovery
If you are ics recovery version , we can come from this issue.
1, download any ics ROM ( stock based ) and copy to your external sdcard.
2, root the mobile using this way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
[GUIDE] ROOT/UNROOT Stock ICS Firmware without flashing unsecure kernel
3, as per the above guide once you flashed cwm.zip , you will get cwm based recovery screen.
4, wipe system and cache
5, install the custom ROM from external sdcard
I believe this method will work for you.
All the best

I believe it won't since he bricked his device and can't even start the phone.
Do what MistahBungle said + make sure that you install Kies first so that you have the proper drivers for Odin.
i have tried this methed. copied all the files on to the sd card, inserted back into the phone put into recovery but would not read external sd card only internal comes up????
That's nice.
Now have you tried the other suggestions that have been made ? If your phone & PC can't/won't recognise each other, you need to fix that first. Forget about CW not working. It's not relevant. You're not going to fix this without an Odin flash and making that happen should be your focus/priority.

I'm having the same issue today, i flashed the siyah kernel beta and now recovery doesn't work and phone stays on Samsung logo.
I can get into download mode but pc says unrecognised device . It was working fine a few days earlier.
Unfortunately my Samsung USB cable appears to have vanished too but I don't see why my other cable shouldn't work as long as it supports data? Maybe the cable is the issue though??
Might be. Try the (many) suggestions on the first page. Any one of those could be/resolve the problem. In addition to those suggestions, you can also try uninstalling Kies on your PC, rebooting, re-downloading it, reinstalling it, rebooting & then seeing if your PC & phone recognise each other.
But definitely try those other suggestions first.

This is definitely NOT a cable issue. I have the same problem, and i too was using Siyah. It's something with the kernel.

You will need all the files, make sure Keis is not messing with Odin so check to make sure it's not running on the PC.
Have had this happen to me - keep the files safe and you will fix pretty much any brick u manage to do. Mine was in CM9 - dropped and battery fell out had to do the full repair job to fix.

If you have a memory card slot in your laptop, couldn't you take it out of your phone, put it in laptop. Download stock 2.3.5 firmware put it Back in then reboot into recovery and flash? Just an idea. Hope you find a solution soon!

[Q] SGS3 Wont connect to pc

Ok ,so heres my problem:
My S3 (i9300) wont connect to my computer which is running windows 7. I plug it in, and there is no sound for a device connected, no confirmation, and all the gs3 does is charge. it doesnt even show the little usb symbol at the top on the status bar. i've also tried two different cables, two computers, and ive cleaned the usb port on the phone.
This is all pretty recent as well. it used to connect fine on stock and the same on cm9, but one day when i plugged it in, it said unrecognized device, and from then on, the computer doesnt even know its connected anymore. i restored back to my original stock backup that had worked fine before, but still no progress. Kies has been uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and so have the drivers for samsung phones..
Download, extract and install, then try again

going to be a driver issue if it charges, install KIES first as that provides the necessary samsung drivers too. If this doesnt work then uninstall the USB controller you phone is connected to, unplug the phone and reboot. Leave the phone out and install KIES again.The try again.
Could be your cable too though, have you swap tested anything yet, does a different cable work or does the cable work ok in another PC?

I'm reinstalling KIES right now and ill try it with two different usb cables. If neither work, then ill try uninstalling the usb controller as you said and then go through the process once more. ill get back to you on it all when I'm done.
I have a few no-brand, cheap microUSB cables that allow only for charging the phones: they don't let me get a data connection between the phone (or whatever) and the PC.
Other USB cables work ok, so I know the problem is not with the phone.
You don't need (and shouldn't) install KIES only because of the drivers.
The only drivers you should install from the only trusted source are these:
http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
I had the same problem.
I tried EVERYTHING. I did tons of research and tried them all, nothing worked.
I fixed my problem by sending my phone in and getting it fixed. I think they replaced the hardware.
Your phone is likely having a hardware issue, get it sent in, this is the only way.

As for the cable I'm using, the one that I've been trying the most is the one that would work before i started having these issues. The other cable that i have is the one that came with my phone.

The only problems with that are: 1) My phone is rooted and 2) That might take a while... what im bascially trying to do now is get it to work with my pc so that i have the possibility of unrooting and putting my music on it directly through the cable, rather than removing my microsd and having to put that into an sd adapter.
I'm having the same issue with my AT&T version. I have CM10 installed. I flash back to stock via Odin and I can get it to work, but as soon as I flash back to CM10 after rooting it won't connect.

Did you flash back to the stock that the phone came with? I'm currently on a nandroid backup of my stock software that's rooted and I know as a fact did work at one point in time, but for some reason just refuses to connect to my pc.

No I am flashing to a stock rooted touchwiz and I can connect to my phone when its done. When it reboots it goes into a loop so I have to reboot it and wipe data/factory reset, then reboot. When it comes back on it still won't connect, so then I reflash stock root again using Odin and it comes back with USB connection working. I think some files are getting corrupt on the phone when flashing to CM10.
I had the same problem before, I used a different charger and it worked.. idk what it was
Well right now I am on Stock TW that is rooted and I can get into my phone via Windows Explorer. But if I was to put Clock work Mod back on it seems to not want to connect anymore. So it seems CWM is doing something weird.
I'm gonna install TWRP instead of CWM and see if that makes a difference.

Look for the rooted image for your phone for stock. Put your phone in download mode and use Odin to reflash it back to stock not a restore. Use this site for help: http://galaxys3root.com/category/galaxy-s3-unroot/
Its worked for me every time. You may have to flash it twice with Odin to get it to work, that's what I usually have to do.

My issue ended up being an app I had installed, Triangle Away. I uninstalled and rebooted and had my USB connection back.
Well, so far, all I've gotten it a "usb cable connected" notification when trying yet another cable. Although i got this notfication, i still couldnt see any of the files on it from my pc, so it basically wasn't really connected. Im not sure what to do from here.
My ultimate goal would be to be able to unroot it so that if i needed to send it in or whatever, then i could without worry. As a side question, is there anyway to unroot it without a pc?

Who said you can't BRICK an SGS2? I just did - download mode doesn't work

Long story short. Was on a custom rom. Factory Reset. Buggered everything up.
I can't get into recovery mode. And my download mode isn't working.
The original boot logo doesn't appear (with the triangle) -- it just goes STRAIGHT into download mode -- and Odin isn't recognizing the phone.
Would love for you guys to try and figure this one out lol
If you can get into download mode then there's hope. Try to remove battery for 1 minute and retry with odin, maybe replacing the usb cable can help. Also think about cleaning the phone's usb plug

What do you mean "Left it in download mode for an hour before I got to my PC"
After an hour ODIN recognized it ?
That doesn't make any sense.
I have no issues getting it into download mode. The USB cable works fine. The drivers work fine. ODIN just isn't recognizing the phone once it's in download mode.
When the phone is off, and when you go into download mode, usually the start up / initial logo comes up with a triangle. In this case, it doesn't. When I turn it off for 30 mins and turn it back on and try to get into download mode -- it goes STRAIGHT to download mode (no initial login screen)
I have never encountered anything like this in all my years with android phones and hacking them.
Samsung sucks.
Just in case, if using a laptop, have you tried to power it off, remove the battery and wait a couple of minutes to fully remove all memory in the usb chips?
Guess in my case it was a soft brick. Try the USB Jig. You can search on the forum how to make one if you don't have the time to order one.

I am not sure it's the drivers. Why? Because my friend who works beside me has the drivers installed. He put his phone (exact same phone) into download mode and it connected fine. This means his drivers work.
It would do nothing when i connected while in download mode.
the jig is the last resort.
If the jig doesn't work, is it possible I am the first ever to brick a phone galaxy phone?

I am not sure it's the drivers. Why? Because my friend who works beside me has the drivers installed. He put his phone (exact same phone) into download mode and it connected fine. This means his drivers work.
It would do nothing when i connected while in download mode.
the jig is the last resort.
If the jig doesn't work, is it possible I am the first ever to brick a phone galaxy phone?
lol

No.
Ps. May I ask WHEN and WHERE did you read GS2 is unbrickable?
there's a lotta people including myself who have had our galaxy s2's superbircked in the past (not fixable unless you replace mobo)

(I sense a troll )
I've bricked mine twice...
Needed to send it back to Samsung the second time. Reinstalling drivers may work, didn't for me.

i will try
how much does it cost to send back?
download mode
pull out your battery an wait a while than try to enter to download mode if not work try again with an other battery (of your freind for example )
or you can just try this solution be found here

yes usb jig this your last chance
good luck
Most of the time, though, the battery removal trick is sufficient, and most said "superbrick" would be fixed
if using adb.
You have to really screw things up to brick the phone, if using the good kernels/roms together...

Well, I have this experience while flashing my friend's phone and here what I've done:
-reboot my computer
-connect the phone, kill all kies related process (I'm using Windows) and start odin. If odin recognise your phone at this point, you are good to go else you might want to reinstall usb drivers.
-use full wipe odin files I found from internet (I got from the pirate bay with search key ics full wipe)
-got few files in that folder. Hope you know their function. Or you can ask here.
Hope this helps.
edit: you also can try to plug into different usb port that have different usb controller

If Odin adds and removes quickly, this looks like your USB cable is dead, try flashing with another - Genuine- one
I had a similar issue while flashing my former SGS1: flashing process interrupted suddenly at 50%
A similar kind of thing happened to my phone as well when I was upgrading to 4.0.4 from gingerbread via Kies. The installation got stuck when the phone was in the download mode and I had no other option than to disconnect. But yours got stuck while using Odin. I would suggest you to flash the firmware again. I hope your phone goes into download mode now. As for the drivers, uninstall everything related to samsung from your PC and then reinstall it. DO NOT UPGRADE SAMSUNG KIES IF IT ASKS YOU TO DO SO! AS I TOLD YOU A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED TO MY PHONE. MY PC COULD'NT RECOGNIZE IT AND I REINSTALLED EVEYTHING AND IT FINALLY SHOWED SOME SIGN. MAKE SURE YOUR ANTIVIRUS IS FULLY DEACTIVATED WHILE YOU EXECUTE THE FLASHING OPERATION!

first of all, while your phone is disconnected from USB cable, can you enter download mode?if no, then try to find someone that have JIG. else, as leech4 said, this might caused by your USB cable. OR might caused by your USB port of your PC. as i said earlier, try to repair your USB driver (not sammy USB driver, but your PC's usb driver). flash using ODIN, and kill kies services from task manager as kies will conflict with ODIN later. here i give you LSJ link(thanks to ApriliaM3) in case you don't have. extract the zip and use all the PDA, PHONE and CSC file. you can even use PIT to re-partition your system. (tested and proven to be working). good luck mate.:good:

Talk to Samsung not us.
Next time do some research into your model and info on how to flash it properley before jumping in and screwing your device up.

Wow, I suspect this kind of brick or what so ever others called it. I've read some where, and they talking about JIG. If what they mean is the same like what I understood from my electronic knowledge, then you have to find someone that have JIG to do further troubleshooting directly from your board, not via usb. Well, I'm just saying. You might want to seek for other solution first since it's your device.

I think I broke it....

My I605 was rooted using Casual one click. Worked fine. Then I put Revolution HD 15.0 on like a retard because I didnt realize it didnt support my phone. Made it to where I had to back to stock using CI605_I605VRLJB_I605VRALJB_CL414933_HWID04_HW-Rev0406_low_ship_user.tar.md5 and Mobile Odin. Why mobile odin do you ask? Because I cant get my pc to recognize my Note 2 through odin. Worked great got back to stock 4.1.1. After a few hours of perfect operation I did the OTA 4.1.2 and installed it and imediately got boot loop samsung note 2 white screen with no Recovery Option available but I do have download mode. I tried Odin from the computer again and it still wont recognize my phone being connected. Think I did it real good this time.... Any takers?
Try using a different USB cable and/or a different USB port on your computer.

Yes sir I just tried a different cord and port. What seems to happen is drivers are installed and says Samsung Device but I get no feedback from Odin on the com port.
For more information I do have Kies, Odin pit and tar files, Odin 307, Samsung usb drivers installed. Unfortunately I don't have another pc to try.
Hmmmm. I just tested my connection using Odin 3.07 and Odin 1.85 and neither showed a connection to my Note II. However, when I'm powered on normally and connect the same USB from the same PC port, the Note II is recognized. So I'm not sure what is going on with Odin and am a bit worried myself should I ever need to go back to stock. Unfortunately I'm not a guru, but hopefully one will visit this thread and put forth their thoughts and guidance.
Sorry I couldn't help more.

I had something similar happen. I had to uninstall and reinstall the Note 2 drivers. Then also I had to re partition the phone. Once the partition was done the phone was fully functional.

Well, if that's the case then that would explain my issue. Time to put Win7 back in a virtual machine?
