[Q] Stuck at Samsung logo after Odin stock re-flash

I went through all the posts on bricking, did what others tried but to no avail. I had CyanogenMod on it with TWRP and tried to do a restore (bad idea) that's when it bricked.
I got the stock tar file, used a USB jig to get me into download mode, used Odin 3.7 to flash it, all went smooth but she still hangs on the Samsung logo. I've tried it 3 times, same results.
Do I need a Pit file?
Am I missing anything really obvious and important?
Should I flash a rooted stock tar since it's was rooted before I bricked it?
All the links on the 'Goodies' page for the Note are all dead links now so please don't refer me there.
Thanks for any help.

Fixed the problem

Turns out the USB issue with Windows 7 Pro (64bit) was the problem. Got it all done on an XP computer I keep as a backup for this very reason.
Stock ICS is working great. No more B.S.O.D.'s Yay!

I'm having the same problem. Trying to put my note back to stock. Now it is also stuck at the samsung logo during bootup. I can't get into recovery mode, tried installing 2 different stock roms and nothing. I have twrp, so I installed cwm to see if I can use that recovery and nope. The only thing I can do is go to download mode. I also tried doing all of this on an XP as I also did this first on Windows 7, and didn't work for me. Someone help please.

Exactly same issue
Hey
I'm having exactly the same issue, only difference I first tried this on Windows 8.1 64bit and then Windows 7 32bit - Still just getting the samsung circled logo on boot.
Did you ever find a solution ?

Should I not use Odin to flash a new ROM?

Help me!!
I'm having the same problem, note t879 lock in logo samsumg, did step by step through odin 2 STOCK ROMS (T879UVLG3, T879UVMA1), the process ends successfully, but the phone restarts and crashes in logo samsumg. anyone have any solutions? help me please

sgh-t599 recovery / restore

HI XDA
I got this sgh-t599 tmobile phone yesterday. (didn't realize it was rooted) messed around/did factory reset without backup.
now im stuck in CWM recovery 6.0.3.6, Ive spent several hours readind and trying to fix this with no luck.
I tried using adb, kies etc. none can detect device. device drivers are installed(tried 'have disk'), it shows Samsung under device manager.
I can device list in adb and shows the numbers and "recovery" but when i try to use commands it says "waiting for device" or something.
from what i read, i need unsecure boot to restore firmware. where can i get this and how do i do it pls.
i have no mount usb option in cwm, when i try to recover/update from cwm it says aborted. in adb im able to reboot the phone with the commands but always reboots to cwm recovery or waiting for device. any help pls. i may have access to another rooted t599 if i am able to backup and recover it to this phone?:crying:
do you think local phone repair shop can fix this back to stock or rooted and for how much?

You must have format system or something. A factory reset wipes cache and data, nothing else. There should be a homebrew odin-file somewhere in these t599 threads.

phone was rooted and had superuser etc on it. I didn't know about rooting, I did factory reset from the main menu which im pretty sure is what caused this. before that I was able to look through its apps where I saw the superuser,terninal and others, once factory reset it rebooted to cwm recovery and stuck there. there was no backup or side sdcard. only realized it was rooted after saw the cwm and stuck
odin doesnt detect phone either, downloaded/installed universal drivers still no go.
main issue is not being to able enable usb debug/download while still in cwm
repair shop says $30, about to run there

i caused my friends sgh-t599 to do that
So... This might be late.... But I'm going to postthis for others .... So I was looking for ever for a way to unbrick his phone... Then hope Finley came .. After I read hard enough .. And came across a post for a stock pre-rooted tar file to be flashed with Odin...

[Q] I think some help is needed in urgency and wisdom

Hi everyone
After a lot of reading i decided to install a ROM. Now i was able to try to but none of them worked, so i ve been trying now for 3 days. I think i did it all as stated in this forums, it launched but never go to really open the OS, used to get stuck at the motorola or nexus logos or what ever logo from the different ROMs i downloaded.
I was able to go back to the original ROM but today im not being able to do so...
What can i do? Im at recovery and im able to restore boot but at system it says:Error while restoring /system!
I had it backedup at pc so i have also removed the one at sd card and tried with the one from PC.
What can i do (that doesnt involve getting another phone)

You can try RSDLite to flash back stock ROM just be careful and flash right ROM, otherwise you can brick your phone. You can't flash custom ROMs with RSD.

Boot the phone into bootloader/fastboot?

You have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery installed? I assume you have both since you were trying to install custom ROMs.

I have tried to the fastboot... im trying AP fastboot and theres where i am stuck right now.
Yes custome recovery and unlocked bootloader there. I had the phone moved to another couple of roms but the never loaded correctly so i went back to my original ROM, i tried a few other ROMs and none worked so this time i try to go back but it doesnt come back anymore... :laugh:

Try downloading PhilzAdvanced CWM Recovery. It is based off the latest CWM and should be able to flash your backups or ROMS. Maybe not your backups unless you made them with a CWM based recovery, but it should get you booted up.

1. Read the Myth Tools OP
2. Download Myth Tools
3. Download Philz CWM
4. Download a stock fastboot
5. Place the fastboot zip and the extracted recovery/cwm.img in their respected folders
6. Run Myth's executable and follow the instructions
7. If that doesn't work then read the faqs here and in the RAZR HD forums, all your questions have been answered already.

Still with same issue...
Phone is not recognized by the computer (tried 3 different laptops)
Cannot download the Drivers as its an automated process that begins when you connect the phone...
Does anyone knows an alternative to install AHD drivers ?

Again, my main issue device not detected by pc... so i cant download drivers using automatic tools that detects the phone because again phone is not detected and mythtools goes straight to the motorola device manager which needs a phone connected to act... so in a very bad circle i am... and i would try to use someone else phone but here in Costa Rica i know of noone else with a Motorola phone... everyone thinks it no longer exists... and i havent found a way to download the specific drivers for my specific device in a way it doesnt require to be connected.

You can boot into recovery? If so download the latest philztouch cwm recovery, put it on your sd card, and flash it from recovery. Then flash the ROM you want.

Nice i managed to flash the philztouch recovery... the damn phone doesn't want to accept any ROM... keeps aborting them. So far thanks a lot... ill read like crazy today again and ill ask for help if failure salutes me again!
:highfive:

If you made a backup of your stock after rooting try flashing that and then hooking your phone up to your pc

It finally works
It works... i think somehow the recovery stopped working at some point... now with Philz phone was recognized by pc and i was able to use Myth tools to do the job. I think this will be my last Motorola...
Things to highlight:
1 i did read a lot before doing anything, still somehow screwed up, did read lots before asking here, still needed to ask... got answers, still needed to ask more... it was fun as everyone at work said: " its bricked fool buy a new one and stop playing to be good at something" but hell yeah its fixed!
2 i will try again to install another rom, i wont give up damn it!
3 i might begin with my wife Note 1, its old so its ok to brick it ha ha ha
4 damn it guys you are cool... wish i were 10% of you guys!
5 I think instead of all those different options out there we should recommend only to use the myth tools, its a complete package and its easy to use even with examples for newbies like me.
Again thanks and questions on friday after i brick it again e he he he...

The other stuff is there so you can understand what the automated stuff is actually doing.

Ok so i have started the process again. I cant tell what i am doing wrong. I have flashed 2 different roms and none worked... its like im missing something.
I root the device, unlock bootloader... set the recovery with cwm... flash the rom... and it goes to moto logo and then black screen... am i missing something?
I did the exact same for the stock rom and it did work... also i did it all exactly the same using now myth tools... so any ideas? Should i leave the phone alone because its just simply not going to work or am i missing anything?

Battery died after flashing a rom in recovery mode. Phone doesn't turn on.

Hey guys, I am in a big fuss here, I was flashing new MIUI MM 6.0 and it was taking to long to flash.. I was very sleepy then and I accidentally fell a sleep. The battery was at 88% when I started doing it. So I guess the flashing must have finished by the time the battery ran out.
Now I have kept it for charging for over 2 hours and it dint turn on. Then I tried going to fastboot or recovery, dint work. Then I connected it to the PC to see if the phone is on but the display is somehow dead and WALLA!!! It gets connected. BUT there is a catch, it now shows me SIX different drives out of which 2 drives I can access. I dont know whats going on! Someone please help me. I have to travel 450 km for service center.

del

same problem bro.. how is your mi3 now?

Looks like partition has messed up. Before flashing that MIUI sh*t were you on extended partition table?

same problem here, I flashed SMIUI it says cant mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc,. I just let on that screen, and it displays installing SMIUI system. It finishes but phone died after that.
Now same problem with the OP, no power, no fastboot mode, no recovery, when connect to a pc it displays many Drive windows. Please help.
Now I managed to removed the battery still the same no power.
Help please guys.

i have a perfect solution for this problem....100%working...now u have to flash a fastboot rom using mi flash tool from PC.....u can search it on google or u wanna know exact details then u can mail [email protected]

Faced same problem (soft brick) , steps followed to fix it
Connected to PC to check if the phone is still alive or hard bricked (yep it was , i got a lot of new driver pop ups)
I went through some MIUI forum and understood that MM roms have script which changes partition size over stock partition , hence the soft brick if u flash it in extended partition
Downloaded an old fast boot room (MIUI 7 kitkat) and tried to flash it using MIflash tool , but faced another issue in WIN 10 OS.
To fix it had to install latest qualcomm drivers for MI3 and flashed the rom in Safe mode(win10).
Now you can either flash fastboot rom or recovery zip after you change the recovery.

i9001 bricked?

Hello together,
i have a big problem with my phone
what i did:
i found my "old" i9001 and wanted to date it up. at this point i have installed successfully [ROM][RR-msm7x30][ariesve][OFFICIAL][5.1.1_r24][24/10/15]Resurrection Remix 5.5.8 EOL
but i wasn't satisfied with this version, so i wanted to return to stock rom.
at this point i made a mistake, because the recovery gives the following back: e: can't mount sdcard.
The phone cant reboot.
I found some tutorials that suggest to use odin and flash easily the stock rom over it.
But here comes my problem - my phone was not pluged in to the pc -> no samsung drivers are installed :/
So i cant easily plug in the phone to pc and flash via odin, because the pc does not recognize it :/
i tried some samsung drivers, but nothing helped.
At the end i can start the Recovery (CWM), but i have no backups.
have someone a solution for me, i dont want to bury my phone
Thank you a lot!
regards,
c0xi
