Hi good people! thanks in advance, I had a problem for about a month now where my phone (Note2) used to take about 15 min to boot, after trying many solutions, I read somewhere to delete ODEX files and after trying that in many ways I went to system/apps and deleted ODEX files there with Root Explorer which turned out to be a biiig mistake, it just stucks at the Samsung Logo for a few seconds before it starts again (only the logo, the phone doesn't reboot) and it stays like that forever. I'm in hell right now, I have some files I don't want to lose so I was afraid of factory reseting but after I was told that it won't delete them, I did but that didn't solve anything, I can't access download mode, I can access recovery mode however (not custom) I tried flashing a custom ROM but I just get "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" please help ! I'll be really thankful ! thank you !
EDIT: I hope this helps someone else, after trying everything, what eventually worked for me was the USB Jig, I was able to enter download mode and install a new ROM from there. good luck!

This bricking is usual problem nowadays.
1)U can try odexing again(guess,it won't help coz ur phone bricked and u cant)
2)flash a custom recovery like cwm,twrp or philz.
3)Flash a stock or nodded stock rom.
Still have problem?
I'm right here

thank you so much ! the problem is I can't flash a custom recovery because I can't access download mode so I can't use my PC. Is there any other way ? the only thing I can boot to atm is stock recovery
I've tried flashing both a custom and a stock ROM from recovery using my SDcard and I get this message "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" flashing fails.
again I can't thank you enough for your help. I really appreciate it

Verification fails cause stock recovery is a secure recovery and can only flash samsung updates.
So,it verifies md5/signature.
Let it alone..
Just hold Home+power+volume down at the same time and see if phone boots to download mode.

TRY entering Download Mode
Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up.

I know how to do it but it just doesn't work. I tried that combination many times but it just didn't work for me.
any help guys ?? please! I've looked everywhere still can't find a solution

Dear forum,
I bought a galaxy i9100 second hand with Austrian T-Mobile branding. It came with android 3.5.2, i updated it to 4.0.3 via KIES, no problem. My plan is to root it to be able to flash cyanogenmod afterwards. Now my pain: I am not able to enter either download-mode or recovery-mode by any means. Of course I tried the necessary key combinations (yes, even following tutorial vids). It always boots with the usual samsung logo, then t-mobile logo and finally homescreen. After hours of messing around I even built an USB-jig, following the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551. Nothing happens! Of course i cannot guarantee I soldered everything correctly, but still...
After searching the www for hours i do not encounter anyone reporting such an issue. People have problems with download-mode when the device is bricked or something, but in my case the t-mobile android works perfectly fine apart from that.
i noticed some other strange behaviour: when i take the battery out and put it back in, the device boots automatically. i don't think this is normal, is it?
Are there any suggestions out there? I am completely clueless and desperate by now...
here are my specs from the phone utilities:
Android 4.0.3
Basebandversion: I9100BOLP5
Kernel-Version: 3.0.15-i0100BOLPE-CL000000
[email protected] #3
Build: IML74K.BOLPE
Swith off the phone, hold volume up and menu button then press power and hold this 3 buttons 10 sec, if android start normally this will br weird for me.

I did this about 10 times. The samsung logo comes up. for a little moment it goes out, thet comes back. After some seconds the usual t-mobile logo animation appears. then home-screen.
And yes! It is absolutely weird, that's why I gave up and started asking

I was trying to install MIUI on my s4 but it showed up that the software/kernel was not authrorized so I reflashed PAC and saw on another forum that I should use ez unlock to unlock it it (which I did) and then tried to flash it again after wiping and now my phone won't turn on (no recovery or odin either). Help please!
Edit: Okay now this is bad, I just checked the forum and I installed a sprint miui rom (*facepalm*)

to enter download/odin mode from a power off state hold power and volume down. To get to a power off state, pull your battery.
If you can't get to odin mode...I have no idea how you can fix that.
SO i'm basically screwed

Is that really the only option, I think it's because I flashed a sprint rom so there has to be some way to fix it right?

If you can't get the phone to do ANYTHING. Not even odin or recovery modes. What other options would you expect there to be?
You can try to get it to do whatever it does when you press the power button while attached to your computer to see if you can get ADB to recognize the device. If so you could potentially force it to go into recovery.
I understand that but I still don't see why flahsing a wrong rom completely disabled the phone

Lol even if you don't understand, your phone still isn't going to work. If you can't get into Download Mode or Recovery, You can send it to get Jtag repaired at a number of places. This is signifcantly cheaper and they can unbrick your phone.

Hey,
I have a Galaxy Note I717M under bell, running complete stock, and recently, it just decided it doesn't want to turn on anymore.
I can still access download mode and recovery mode, but when I try to boot into system I get stuck at the samsung logo.
Is my phone soft bricked? Am I able to flash a new rom and move on? If so, am I able to recover all my data that's currently on the phone?
Thanks in advance!

In recovery mode do a factory reset first see if this solves the problem.
yes you can still flash ROMs.
if not flash stock ROM or custom ROM.

Hello....i rooted my sm-g360az samsung phone and when i restarted the phone, it didn't boot up to the home screen. It shows the samsung logo and then becomes blank....i later on came to know on the internet that i hadnt enabled 'oem unlock' on 'developer options' before rooting. I sent the phone to samsung for repair and they sent it back to me today saying that the phone is beyond repair because it was rooted, though i hadnt mentioned to them that i had rooted the phone. How do i get my phone to work again? I need it very badly for work purposes. Can somebody help me with this....

thanks for the link brother.....but that website is a fake website with fake android 6 custom rom links....
brother....do you have a SM-G360AZ MOBILE? CAN YOU INSTALL FLASHIFY ON YOUR PHONE AND TAKE A BACKUP IMAGE OF THE STOCK RECOVERY AND UPLOAD A LINK HERE....
TWRP IS NOT WORKING....THE PHONE REACHES RECOVERY AND THEN TURNS BLANK....
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why do you need stock recovery?There's no stock recovery available for your device.Try to instell different twrp version for your phone.
