[Completed] [Q] Note 2 N7100 Bricked. Please Help.

Hi, I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100. Region: India
I had rooted successfully.
Updated SuperSU-v2.14.
Flashed Note2-CWM-6.0.4.3-GT-N7100.
Made a backup Rom using CWM.
Then I flashed AllianceROM_N7100_DME6_v4_RePack_a,
Perseus-alpha35-n7100-CWM and GT-N7100_XXDME4_Modem.
Everything was perfect till here.
Then i decided to flash photosphere and did it using TWRP.
After reboot I had issues with the network, somehow I was not able to connect.
I thought I had issue with the modem, so I tried flashing different modems.
Nothing seemed to work.
Then I wiped in TWRP and I reflashed AllianceROM_N7100_DME6_v4_RePack_a.
Still the same. Then I wiped again and flashed Note2-CWM-6.0.4.3-GT-N7100 and tried to restore my backed up rom. But now after booting successfully all my google apps started to force close and hanged.
Then I wiped again and this time flashed AllianceROM_N7100_DMA6_v1_2.
Everything else seemed okay except the network problem, I was unable to connect.
Then I tried to flash a stock rom using odin: GT-N7100_INU_1_20120921181332
During the middle of the update it hanged and showed fail error.
Now shows:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
I tried recovering via Kies, but it doesn't detect my device.
I also tried different versions of odin, tried uninstalling kies, updated my samsung drivers, tried various firmwares.
But every time I get the fail error in odin.
It shows:

Hi,
I suggest asking the experts who own your device for help in this dedicated help thread in your device section,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055736
Good luck!

Anyone offer any help? Completely stumped, all explained below.

Heyy XDA,
Writing this post as I'm completely stumped on this one
Basically when I first got my S6 I rooted it and all, and everything was fine, I then unrooted it in order to update the OS to 5.1.1 which again all went fine.
This was about 4 days ago. Since this there hasn't been any issues what so ever, until this morning when the phone died. After charging it back up to 100% I switched it on and it just chilled in a bootloop.
From here I tried soft resetting the phone, but it stayed in the loop. I then tried clearing the cache, which again had no effect. I've also tried wiping the phone entirely and putting it back to factory which again did nothing to help and safemode didn't boot as it restarted as soon as the display lit up (baring in mind that the OS is completely stock and the phone is unrooted.)
After no avail with the phone, I decided to try rooting the phone, hoping that it would 'kick' it back to life as that's what Apple devices do... :good: , however after attempting to root the phone it just stayed on the samsung screen with the error 'recovery is not seandroid enforcing'.
Then I thought ... F*** ... and downloaded the 5.1.1 firmware for my current model (G920F, UK model, EE network) which I then tried to flash through ODIN v3.10.7, however I got the error of:
'<ID:0/006> Added!!

I've checked that this is the correct version, as well as checked the MD5 to ensure its not corrupted. Also I've tried restarting my PC and tried all 5 USB ports.
Anyone have any other ideas other than start moaning to Samsung and trick them into giving me a new phone??
Thanks in advance,
Dark :highfive:

If you don't have tripped knox, you definitively should bring it to warranty.
But I think, by installing root you tripped it already.
Now you have two options. The first is to bring it to warranty and 'pray' that they doen't discover the altered KNOX state.
The second is, you can search for a complete firmware with PIT file and everything.
I see that you understand how to flash phones, but I will again alert you an others that have the same problem and read that post: Be sure to select the PIT file which corresponds to your phone's size (32, 64, 128GB)
However, bring it first to warranty. If they doesn't want to repair, take second option which is PIT flashing. If that doesn't take efect either, you must bring it to repair, and unfortunately, pay to repair this phone.

Tried a different cable?

Samsung Galaxy s6 G920I (Aus)

Hey guys; New to the forums; Read a few guides nothing has really helped so far but I could just have missed something;
So what happened is;
I have succesfully taken all the bloatware off my s6 Edge; I was trying to do the same for the misses phone (Galaxy s6) Yes i made sure to get the right firmware
I downloaded from sammobile.com the G920I XSA so i could get rid of her telstra bloatware. However halfway threw the installation (Odin) it said failed and the phone was stuck in download mode for ages; I decided to just try a reset (after about 45 - 1hr) then it started booting up with a ! saying an error has occurred while updating the device software Use the Emergency Recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software;
Which I have tried doing; However it keeps getting to about 1 or 2% of the installation (yes it has finished the download read something on here about people getting stuck at 51% download) Then it asks me for a recovery code from a previous computer; I bought this phone used off someone with all the stock bloatware from telstra so I dont have the recovery code; How can I get around this ? I dont have their phone number either as it was on my old sim which didnt fit into this phone and I have already given my other phone away...
As of this min I am downloading the telstra version of the firmware again, Will this fix it ? and then will I be able to put the XSA firmware on ?
Thanks for any help
Appreciate it

Is my GT-N8010 bricked?

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) which worked fine until one night I switched it off before bed. The next morning it doesn't boot up. It just shows the Samsung logo.
The machine won't go into recovery but starts to show the TWRP initial screen before going back to rebooting.
The machine will go into download mode and I have tried flashing stock a stock ROM and TWRP again but each time, ODIN reports a fail.
This is the log from ODIN when I try to flash the stock ROM:

I have very often flashed ROMs in the past without a problem. I had TAB Sensation on the Note and had been using this for quite a while, then this just happens without any obvious reason.
Any help would be so gratefully received.
Thank you.
Jason

Download again.
Sent from my SM-N920C using XDA-Developers mobile app

Thanks for this but what should I download again?

stock ROM # for your model .

Same problem, but with unrooted model on stock 4.4.2. Happened once before, when under guarantee, and Samsung fixed it. Issue in detail:
Switch on - stuck at 10.1 logo
Will restart into download mode
Won't restart into recovery
Windows 10 computers won't recognise it when attached ('unknown USB device'), so ODIN doesn't see it.
So I'm stuck - any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Attempted remedies so far:
uninstalled Kies
installed Samsung drivers (various versions)
reinstalled Kies
Skipsoft Toolkit

I've got the exact same problem with mine, it started several months ago. I was about to toss it but figured I'd give it another shot after a coworker told me of this forum. He suggested loading a new firmware/OS via the micro SD card, although since it won't even really boot I'm not sure how I'm going to do that.

[Completed] galaxy S6, bootloop, odin - write operation failed.

Hi. i have recently acquired an Samsung S6 SM-G920P. it was rooted with 5.0.1 and it was freezing and restating.
So flash/stock firmware marshmallow but it got stuck at optimizing apps. I restarted the phone and managed to skip it (don't know how). After all the process of name, date&time zone, wifi config, etc...about 10-20min it freezes again and restarts. So i tried to update the software via otta, and android gave me a 19mb, but the same happened, it got stuck at optimizing apps.
After that it began to freezing more and more often. I tried to change the firmware to another version with odin, but now odin shows an error (write operation failed). I installed TWRP and wipe dalvkin/cache and cache and after that, it started to boot-loop and mi stuck on it.
