Hm...no mate...sorry... I think this sort of is it for your device... Flashing S2 firmwares on the Note does have that effect.
You could try a JIG, although it's a longshot, but most certainly be ready to take it to Sammy's service center. Say something went wrong while updating through Kies, although they might figure it out.
If they do figure it out, you're probably looking at a new motherboard, in the area of 200$ from what other users in similar situations have reported.

Try jtag or riff box.. Works well for samsung skyrocket, captivate and the likes. Might work for the note as well..

It could be that it's just the screen that doesent work but you are actully in download mode.
this happend to me once with my Nexus S, i flashed wrong rom to phone.
try connecting phone to PC and open CMD and run "adb devices" and se if the computer recognize the phone even thow the screen is black.
like i said, i had this problem once when flashing I9020T rom on my I9023 Nexus S once.

the screen that doesent work but you are actully in download mode !!!!!!!!!
try it until you got there

where i find a rom to n7000
Multiple files with Pit included

GT-N7000 ?

Why in the world would you do that anyway!?

hmm
usually flashing different roms do brick the phone
and phone do not turn on. But atleast you can power up your device.
You can use jig to force your device to boot into download mode.
It may not work, but I heard few people got theirs work.

Need Help, Bricked SM-T900

I bricked my SM-T900 Wifi while attempting to root it. Can anyone help me get it un-bricked?
Here's a step by step list of what I did and what happened:
1. Turned on USB debugging mode
2. Downloaded and installed Samsung kies
3. Downloaded the file for SM-T900 from autoroot [dot] chainfire [dot] eu/ (it won't let me post outside links)
4. Turn off tablet, get into custom firmware installation mode by holding power, volume-, and home, then confirm the warning
5. run Odin (v3.07, came in the zip file)
6. plug in tablet, tablet showed up as a com port but did NOT show any other information. I don't know if it was supposed to show anything else but I hadn't though about that at the time.
7. Clicked on PDA and selected the file CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5
8. Clicked start
9. Waited, it said it was doing something with cache, I don't recall exactly what it said
10. after about 3 minutes the screen looked wrong, all the pixels were different colors, (rainbow static?)
11. Waited about 10 minutes just in case that was not a sign of failure, then Odin reported that it failed.
Now when I press the power button, I get the screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I tried using that in Kies but Kies can't connect to my tablet any more. When I try to use Odin using the recovery with power, vol-, home, it detects that I plugged it in but when I try to click start it fails and nothing happens.

I have exact the same problem.
I have read many articles, who said it was easy to root.
That's not true !!!!.
Maybe because the tablet became an update today ?
What I did to recover the tablet: (phew !!!)
Download this bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2591013&d=1392923580
Connect to Odin and flash it.
A few seconds, it says OK, reboots and voila: there's your tablet again revived !!!!.

Unfortunately Odin fails before it manages to even connect to my tablet so I'm not sure it will work for me but I'll give it a try. It managed to connect before when I tried to flash the root files but now it fails every time. I'll update this when I get home and try flashing that.
Edit:
Got home, tried your fix. I am happy to report it worked and it only took a few seconds. Thanks!
Edit:
To anyone reading this thread, if you tried rooting your SM-T900 using the SM-T900 files for rooting, try using the SM-P900 files instead! I just tried that and it seems to be working fine.

I'm glad I could help. :good:
It's bad for your heart when you see that your expensive tablet is bricked.

Hello everyone. Where do I flash the bootloader in odin? Do I use PDA or Bootloader and do I need to check the bootloader update box? Just wanted to confirm before further messing up my tablet. Thanks!
Edit: Never mind, figured it out. Thanks for the help!

This method just worked for me. Flashed the bootloader with Odin after getting "stuck" and it booted right up.

What did you do exactly to fix it? I'm having the same issue. Just sits at screen and says:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SM-T900
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
KNOX Warranty Void: 1
RP SWREV: A1
How do you use that recovery.img file?

For the top most problem flash cwm or TWRP recovery through Odin or through recovery mode then boot into cwm or TWRP recovery delete all files and install a supported rom.
If u want full explained steps mail me

it's 2022 & my T900 finally went into bootloop in model logo, does anyone know the real reason for this? is it hardware or software problem?
- I can flash any version via odin but still bootloops
- TWRP worked once after that can't get in anymore
- the only button working is for the download mode PWR + Vol Down
- before all this LED Stayed on until batt drained then bootloops
it's a good tab to watch movie while on a treadmill

Flash it back to stock and toggle OEM Unlock. I have a feeling that might be the issue, but I'm not entirely sure. Go to your settings, then Device Information. Tap build number until you've unlocked Developer Settings, then go to Developer Settings and look for OEM Unlock. If it is on, turn it off.

Galaxy A5 having issues booting after firmware flash

Hello, people of XDA,
I had decided to restore my Galaxy A5 2015 (A500FU) back to TouchWiz. I had used Odin to flash the firmware back, and I had done the usual, flash into AP and left Auto-Restart on. I then realised, when the device was supposed to boot up, the screen when black and the phone turned off. I tried booting into download mode and into the recovery mode but nothing doesn't seem to work. I have even tried charging it but after 30 minutes, nothing seems to happen, even if I try to start up to download or recovery mode.
Help would be very much appreciated.
Thank You,
Josh
DEVICE DETAILS:
SAMSUNG GALAXY A5 2015
THREE NETWORK (H3G)
A3500FU MODEL
FIRMWARE FLASHED: ANDROID 4.4.4 A3500FUBTU

Why did you flash a firmware with and android version of 4.4.4 a.k.a kitkat? The latest is Marshmallow 6.1.0. What version of android did u have before u flashed kitkat? I think you flashed an old firmware over a more recent bootloader, which means u will be stuck and bootloop. Also, can you describe a bit more about what the problem of your device - like what actually happens when you hold the power button etc. Does you display turn on? You said u left it for charging for 30 Mins and the device still did not turn on... might be hardware related. When you try to boot into download mode or recovery, what happens on device? Please answer my questions and we might get closer to solving your problem.

I had the same problem but I still somehow rooted and installed twrp on my device without ever using oem unlock . I am pretty unsure on how I did it but I think I just used CF-Auto Root and then installed twrp later. The CF root file just rooted my phone somehow without me even finding the oem unlock. Just to say, if you are going to use CF, do at your own risk - Just search up how to root SM-a500F

i'm so sorry for not replying quickly, the device is completely unresponsive, wont even vibrate or charge. thats all i can say, its unusable. i will probably check the device for hardware issues soon.

Hi,
First check your device model is a500fu,
And check you flashed wich version twrp a3500fu
And flash file.i think file you flashed mismatch.
Conect charger and long press volume down button and power button .check booting or not.if not boot
Confirm wrong flash file you flashed...

Any working ROMs for S6 Lite?

I have an American S6 Lite; I'm stuck in boot loop after applying APAOSP and APLineage from the other threads listed here.
Are there working vanilla Android 10 ROMs for this device?

I followed the TWRP instructions here https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytabs6qcomlte.html and now my device is stuck in failed download mode, I can't get to the recovery menu and I can't even power it off.

No worries, that happened to me too.
Download stock-firmware for your device from Samsung (i use website samfrew.com), install "Patched Odin 3.14.1 3b" (you can Google it), connect the table with your PC, select the .tar file with AP and flash the firmware.
It worked for me, even with the tablet in stuck download mode.

The recovery you are trying to use is tailored for Tab S6 LTE and not Tab S6 Lite (they are completely different models). The Tab S6 Lite uses Exynos Chipset. There is no TWRP recovery yet for the Tab S6 Lite.

That explains a lot.
The other builds for this device don't work for mine - is there one that does? I'm just trying to get the tablet to work faster and more responsive by removing samsung bloatware BS.

I managed to get the device back and flash the stock ROM from https://cqa.samfrew.com/088d597e02a...87762249b/XAR-P610XXU2ATH5-20200814174401.zip
There was a lot of screwing with it due to power loss - since the screen was on constantly, I had to flash the stock rom bootloader (BL) using Odin with a USB port directly connected to the back of my computer since it provided the voltage necessary. It stopped showing me the broken download screen and started flickering boot looping again, where I plugged it in to a charger and let it set. It showed the power display (that it was charging) and I let it get to 100%.
After the stock rom was on and loading, I tried to flash Lineage again, but now I'm getting "Only stock roms are allowed to be flashed to the device". Googling around - it says I can only flash the stock rom? Forever? How do I unlock this?

I think you need to go through stock rom setup again and re-enable OEM unlock (also happened to me once)

Thanks, I thought this too - the option is completely missing from the developer options. Like it's not even listed.
The OEM download lock is still disabled, since I can flash things at all.

You need to wait 7 days, or manually set the time to a date a month back then the OEM unlock Option should appear again.

Turning off Wifi and automatic time and setting the date back or forward 1+ months didn't bring the option up.
I had to turn on and connect to wifi and let automatic time recognize that it has indeed been 7 days before the OEM option re-appeared. :'(

WiFi is a must before setting the time back if your device is not 7 days old.
