[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SamsungNoteFan:
It think I posted this in the wrong Forum? so I have posted it here.

The pictures I took on the phone disappeared all 300+ pictures disappeared .I am the only one using the Samsung

and it was on my table all that day. So I went to google to find a photo recovery software & found a software called

Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android (you can find videos on youtube) & using the software it can do 2 things, auto root the phone to find the photos and bring it back to normal or you Have to have your phone rooted. The auto root setting was not working on the Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android software so I went to the google play store on my Samsung and found a root app that a lot seem to like as it was 4.4 stars, went to install that the app stated I should have "Kingo SuperUser" on my computer so had that put on the went to root the phone & it did not work.

I got a screen on the Samsung saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Youtube had a video on this same problem so I went to Sammobile's site and download the firmware what was

"2014-06-11 USA(Verizon) Version 4.4.2 PDA (I605VRUFND7) Kies. After I downloaded that I downloaded Odin3_v3.10.6 opened it had auto "Reboot & F.Reset Time" selected and added the firmware MD5 file add in the "AP" secion then Entered Download mode on the Samsung & hooked it up to my computer

then I hit start about 30min later it Passed with a green light and everything seem back to normal 3 hours later I went to turn the Samsung off and latter that night when I went to turn it on it got stuck at the Samsung logo that happen 2 times and on the third time it did not come on & so can't "enter download mode" and the "usb Jig" did not work.

What happen & what do I need to next. Do I take the phone to someone to fix this.

Short version of the story :)

.Pictures I took 300+ disappeared so when looking for recovery software

.Found a software called "Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android" (the software had "2" Options for recovering. 1 the software would

Auto Root and bring the Samsung back to normal after recovering the pictures or I would have to had the phone already rooted.

. When to the google play store with the Samsung, found a root app download that & "It stated I should download "Kingo SuperUser" to my computer so I did that.

.It failed & got a screen on the Samsung Saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".

.Went to Sammobile's site and download Firmware 2014-06-11 USA(Verizon) Version 4.4.2 PDA (I605VRUFND7) Kies

.Download Odin3_v3.10.6 had auto "Reboot & F.Reset Time" selected and added the firmware MD5 file add in the "AP" secion

Entered download mode & the Samsung passed

.Everything was back I had it on for 3-4 hours then shutdown the phone later that night went to turn on and it got stuck

at the Samsung logo 2 times and on the 3rd time it would not turn on nor enter "Download Mode"

.Got a "usb Jig" & that did not work and now I am here wondering what do next & what happen to my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 do I need to take to someone to fix it ?
