Reflash your bootloader and it should boot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
:D:D

Sorry for not knowing, but how do I do that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Im on att but i had the same problem but find the rom or whatever version of Android you were on and find out what bootloader you had and look to see if you can find somewhere to download it and flash itin odin like you did b4 but just the bootloader

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
Just a quick question: doesn't the bootloader get reflashed every time I flash stock rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
But you can't get to recovery tho right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
i can get to recovery. but i thought that when i flash stock rom, the bootloader is also flashed so how will it help if i reflash just the boot loader?

and also i wasn't able to find the bootloader files, can u send me a link or something of where i cud find it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
You on stock recovery or custom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
I used to have twrp recovery installed. After that I have flashed stock with odin so im not really sure what recovery i am on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
well here flash this in odin in the ap option and then i would do a full wipe but not your external sd card and flash a rom and you should be good to go

After you flash that idk if the phone will boot into the recovery but If it doesn't pull the battery out and manually put it into recovery mode
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
I already tried to flash twrp and cwm and philz touch recovery.

Even after flashing them, my phone will not boot into recovery mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
What happens when you hold volume up and home and power buttons when the phone is off?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
It turns on and goes to the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" Splash Screen. Then it just stays there. I've tried holding it for up to one minute.....but it never boots into recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Try downloading one of the stock roms here and flash via odin and see if that gets you back up and running
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
I've already tried flashing stock roms using odin......it still doesn't work.

I posted the odin log on the first post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
also now when my phone boots it shows a picture of a phone and a triangle and a computer and says

"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

I tried that but Kies says that it is unable to identify the phone's version or something.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
so what all happened again when the phone didnt wanna boot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
ok so basically my phone ran out of charge.

then i switched batteries and then my phone never booted up again.

it just booted to the splash screen and nothing worked except download mode.

there were no weird force close errors or anything while my phone was on.

no strange applications asked for root permission or anything like that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Will the phone turn on without being plugged in?

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

I just don't see how bcuz ive done about everything to mess up this phone and i got it working sounds like you just need to get the bootloader flashed but i cant find it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
yea it'll turn on if i hold the power button.

umm isnt there some program that will extract the bootloader from ur phone? so like cud u use that and extract your bootloader then send it to me?

A link for the MK7 Bootloader hasn't been posted yet...btw what does mk7 stand for?

also is it for sure the bootloader that is corrupted in my device? and how come flashing the stock rom with odin hasn't fixed it?

sorry for all the questions im just curios and i wanna know how to fix this incase something like this ever comes up again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Its just a name for the firmware like mine is mk6 or something like that and there's something either not deleting or something idk I'm trying to think a way how to fix it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
Isn't the bootloader for my phone already included within the T889UVUCMK7_T889TMBCMK7_T889UVUCMK7_HOME.tar.md5 odin flashable file?

Also wud it help if i used heimdall to flash from linux? like maybe the pit file is messed up.........i really dont know what the problem is im not really that good with this stuff ive just messed around a bit with phones and tablets and such.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
Just noticed this thread, try to follow the options listed in this thread and see if they work. If not then most likely the emmc needs to be replaced.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2758644
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
ok got it...im gonna try this ltr tonight.

i'll letchu know if it works out.

if not im gonna hv to send it in to samsung and they're gonna hv to replace the emmc chip: theres just one prob...by flashing custom images ive voided the warrenty. is there someway for me to unvoid the warrenty? ik abt triangle away but im pretty sure i need the phone to boot into system if i can reset the flash counter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Don't think you have the emmc problem. Normally you will not have model # show up in odin, and there will be a pit file error... you have neither. I also wouldn't try to do the pit file from that thread, you don't have that problem.

What I would do... try the heimdall suggestion from that thread or try a different version of odin. Since you have knox showing in odin, the only file you can use is the MK7 which I guess you got from sammobile. And to you question of getting bootloader, that is included with the factory file you have flashed, so you don't need to do that.

I know you tried already to flash TWRP, but maybe try another version of that too? I would try the latest 2.7.2.0 or 2.6.0.3 or any others. Or maybe try philz recovery, different versions?

If all else fails, you can try to send it to mobiletechvideos, they may be able to bring it back.

good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
Thanks!

Just to make sure...I should use heimdall to flash all of the components already within the MK7 stock md5 file, right?

Also if I pull the pit file from my device and post it here, would someone be able to check to make sure that it isn't corrupted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
I would start with different versions of odin and the stock ROM, then try different versions of TWRP and PhilZ. When using heimdall, do the same thing, just try flashing the stock ROM and then the different versions of both recovery. If it hangs after flashing, remove battery for 10-15 minutes and try to boot recovery.

btw, if you have a sd card installed, try removing it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
I just tried all of those things. I tried flashing different versions of TWRP Philz CWM and Stock recoveries. None of them worked. It still doesn't boot past the splash screen. I tried flashing with different versions of Odin and I tried using heimdall as well. Nothing has worked so far. Please let me know if there are any other possible solutions. Also is there a chance for my device to be hardbricked? I read online that hardbricked devices don't boot into download mode so I'm pretty sure its not....just not 100% sure. Please let me know and thanks for all the help so far!:good::good::good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
If you're still not getting any errors when flashing, I'm not sure what else to try? As long as it's not the emmc chip, sending it to mobiletechvideos should only cost you around $40 to get it fixed. Call them and describe what it's doing and that you aren't getting any errors in odin, and they should be able to give you an estimate?

btw, a hard brick is when it won't power on at all, just like there is no battery in it... and it looks like mtv can fix that too. Good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
Thanks for all the help!

I guess I hv no choice but to send it over to mtv. Its gonna take me about a week since I'm going out of town. Until then, if anyone is able to contribute in anyway please let me know. If anyone else has had this problem and has found a way to fix it just post it here!!

I successfully got the files to download using Odin and it says successful ,I got the green Passed, but it acts like the bootloader is not working.

Please help!!.

I just want to get it working again. Since I can still use Odin, is there a stock file that will clean and get the bootloader working again ?

Okay,I got it back. Yeah I'm a noobie

I Odin back the original file androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407577200 which is the 4.3 ver. and it's back to unrooted stock I guess. This looks like the same file you tried but try it. Who knows,it might work for you also.

T889UVUCMK7_T889TMBCMK7_T889UVUCMK7_HOME-4.3.zip

Just a note for some who may not know this. Odin doesn't like it when you have Windows Explorer open when you are trying to load the .tar file.

I have since rerooted with success. I think I'll just play around with GravityBox and Xposed for awhile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] veeman961:
I have already tried this file and it did go through as Pass in Odin, but the phone never properly booted.

I tried to contact mobiletechvideos but they aren't returning my calls or responding to my emails.....please help!!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZishanMohiuddin:
Hi there,

I recently was going to install a new rom on my phone... I ended up doing a system restore on settings... And now the phone will not update the MTP driver, I tried it on another computer nothing so far. It also wiped my back up file in recovery!

I also tried going into the registry do to the "UPPERFILTERS" fix but it did not work for me!

Any suggestions on how I can somehow fix this!

Thanks.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
The phone won't update the MTP driver? You must mean PC. I can only assume that you are allergic to Google searches as good solutions are easily found.

Google search: reinstall MTP driver

Try disabling WMP temporarily as it often interferes. And if necessary you can remove the previous driver install in the registry. There are often two entries, one under HKLM and another under HKCU.

.

That depends on what you do with Odin. If you flash a full firmware, only your user files in the /data partition will persist. Your recovery would be wiped.

And a factory reset would delete user files.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
The link worked in the post preview, but XDA likes to automerge posts and apparently that broke the hyperlink as well. I've fixed the link. But all you would have had to do was copy and paste the link.

That concerns me because if you don't notice /can't correct a minor formatting error in a link then your phone is at substantial risk. What I mean is that Odin is dangerous if you don't pay close attention to details. Be careful.

It's not hard to reinstall a driver. Just uninstall the old driver and realize that WMP can interfere with the reinstallation. If only a step by step guide will do, you will find lots of spoonfed guides in the Google search results.

I don't use Philz, I find TWRP to be much better. But I doubt that you could use Odin to restore a Philz backup. You'd need to reinstall Philz. Then restore your backup from recovery mode.

The link you provided didn't work. Could you provide me with a step by step guide. I tried two steps using the registry and watched various videos it didn't help. I am very new to this lol.

how do you remove previous driver driver?

if does not work, I got firmware files from sammobile to unbrick. Would my own back up from Philz be able to be used by odin?[/QUOTE]

I did check out your hyperlink lol I just googled searched it. I thought you sent a link not a google search. I went into three different step by step guides regarding the issue, it was just one of those days where basics things just didn't work out lol.

I got fed up so I did I ended up doing a full recovery I just wanted to avoid that process since I know there was a simpler method.

I was considering attempting to use the f2fs filesystem that is discussed in original android development but I'm a bit confused with what to do to load a new rom. Can anyone explain if it will work with the purity rom and what I need to do to get it working? Or also let me know if its not possible.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patzzz:
Yes, I have used Purity with F2FS, but this filesystem is unstable because the system hangs usually (I have also tried with SlimKat and RastaKat with same hangs copying many files).

Basically:

- You must flash "twrp-unofficial-2.7.1.0-f2fs.img" as a normal recovery and change /data, /cache and /system (optional) to F2FS.

You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and press the "Repair or Change File System" button for change to F2FS. Use Wipe -> Format Data also (you will lost data in /sdcard).

- Install Purity ROM (if /system is converted to F2FS, you must use "convert2F2FS.jar" for modify ROM zip and must install this new ROM).

- If /system is F2FS, install "KTManta_F2FS-26-06-2014-ALLF2FS.zip" Kernel or "KTManta_F2FS-26-06-2014_CACHE_DATA_PARTITIONS.zip" else.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heaiser:
Where do you get convert2F2FS.jar?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khaon:
Using f2fs with omnirom. All partition were formatted with f2fs. Having no issue with last update. You will find all resources in my thread
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bcbeaver:
I have an A1000-T that I purchased in Thailand. It has a sim slot in it so I pulled my TELUS sim card out of my phone and tried it. I could not connect with the TELUS network. TELUS (TD-SCDMA) is listed in the preferred networks list 9 times. All have the same network ID and network mode (td-scdma). The 9 listings all have differing priority of 0 through 8.

Is it possible to connect or is there something inherently Thai about this that is foreign to north american networks? If so would rooting it make it work? I've not seen specifics for rooting an A1000-T, would the rooting instructions for other A1000 models work?

So please hlp me and sorry for my bad language
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: network and other issues

If you don't know what you are doing my advice would be to

go to http://SamMobile.com and download the official kitkat

4.4.2 SM-900 firmware and flash it using Odin.

Be sure to do a full wipe including system, data, cache, dalvik

and last but not least a factory reset in twrp or cwm recovery

before you start the odin flash.

You will need to re-root your phone afterwards and install twrp

or cwm recovery. This is the surest way to resolve your network

and other issues.

This will give you a fresh clean start.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mithudas28:
This will solve it.

Do you have twrp or cwm backup.

if not reflash VN rom 14.1 and you should get it back. secondly you can flash the modem attached.

1. wipe the device including internal memory in the twrp memory. put the phone in download mode. flash the modem via cwm rcovery

2. go back to recovery do just a factory reset.

3 now get any 4.4.2 stock rom for your region from sammobile and flash it using odin.

when the phone is rebooting and you see the Samsung logo pull the battery. put the battery back, go back to recovery do a factory reset. then let the boot complete.

it should be fine.

if it help don't forget to press thanks
