Hi I have just bought the chinese dual sim galaxy note 2 GT-N7102 mobile phone and i am desperately trying to root it but in order to root it i need to access odin download mode so i can flash. I have tried the standard way of accessing odin download mode which should be: after switching phone off press Volume Down, Home and Power button till warning screen appears and then press Volume Down to enter Download mode but ive tried it and it does not work! Any help would be much appreciated.
Does anyone know anything about rooting this model or accessing download mode on this handset?
here are some information on the phone to help you further:
chinese dual sim galaxy note 2
model number: gt-n7102
android version: 4.1.3
kernel version: 3.0.31
build number: JRO03C.N7102XXALJ1
Also i have realised this phone is wierd it uses mtk65xx usb driver for connection to the pc instead of samsung usb drivers.
Entering factory mode.....
In order to enter factory mode or also maybe known as odin download mode on the chinese dual sim custom made galaxy note 2 follow these instructions:
1. switch phone off
2. keep power button pressed and press volume up key and keep pressing the volume up key until you see download mode onscreen.
Its in chinese but you can pretty much understand the basic stuff like flashing from sd card etc.
Now you can flash custom roms, root etc...
NOTE: THIS PHONE IS CALLED iHKC HERO 2
Thank me if i was helpful!!!

I am also looking for ways to root my dual-sim N7102 (from China) phone. I tried many ways, but cannot put phone into download mode. Following your advice, instead of any download mode, I get into a menu with the following options:
Android System Recovery Utility:
1- Reboot system now
2- Apply update from SSD card
3- Apply update from cache
4- Wipe data/factory reset
5- Wipe cache partition
6- Backup user data
7- Restore user data
However, any option I press, it doesn't do anything and just shows the Android guy on its side with a red triangle and an exclamation mark. I cannot go any further.
I tried ODIN, but it doesn't detect the phone, same with Kies, doesn't recognise the model.
I also use adb reboot download from a command line, but same story, no download is possible.
Any ideas?
To root chinese phones you should try that chinese app that has a hat as an icon, don't remember the name now but it's made for the chinese market and it aurodetects your chinese phone and roots it. Just reply to this thread as i'msubscribed and will check the software name when I'm on the computer! talk later

Thanks, I am trying many rooting kits, but it seems I am always getting stuck when trying to put the phone in download mode, it just refuses to go into download mode. May be this is a special phone, not sure what else I can try, if you find that chinese root let me know, thanks.
Sure man just got it. Its called zhuodashi, download it from their website. You will need pdanet software for the driver and tethering. Please check my posts and see if you can help with my problems cause nobody is answering on this forum.... thanks

I got the way. I ordered the phone and I got a note that stated the steps and download links. Now since I dont have access to post websites here you will need to read it off the attachment.
1)Please open USB DEBUGGING and connect to your PC (Win XP,Vista, 7, 8)
2)Download Snappea from the download link in the attachment. Inside the folder there should be Snappea, Install it and connect phone. Snappea should ask to install an app on your phone, accept it and Snappea should Identify your phone.
3)Go to your Task Manager and Kill the Process called "wandoujai_helper"
4)Go to the folder you downloaded from the link and in the MTK6577 folder open the "MTK6577root.bat" file. The page should look green with chinese letters, Well just press ENTER, then click "Restore my Device." (No need to type password). Then it will reboot 2 TIMES, dont touch it.
5) Check the app drawer for a new app with a # icon. if its there then you got root access.
Now I would recommend to grab a superSU.apk attached and before STEP4, go to the folder and look for those 2 superuser apks and replace the superSU.apk with an english one I attached and then proceed to STEP4. Then it will install in english.
Just as a favor, if you know or learn how to install Clockworkmod or any working Recovery, let me know to [email protected]
It's probably gonna be easier just usingthe soft I stated above.

Thanks both, just tried downloading zhuodashi but McAfee killed it, didn't allowed me to download saying something about a Trojan virus. I will try the other method, thanks.
GT-N7102 backup Needed!!
I am willing to pay someone via paypal, for the person who can upload a full gt-n7102 backup. I bricked my phone trying to install CWM and it is stuck in a bootloop. Please someone just make a backup, may be M5D and just upload it, and send me an email to [email protected] I will pay $20 via paypal... You dont need CWM to make a backup.
Steps:
1)Turn Off Phone
2) Click and Hold the Volume Up+Power Button
3) Once in Recovery Mode, Press HOME
4) Then Backup
5) The "backup" should be in a newly created folder in the SDCARD, just zip it and send it to me.
Since this phone is not that popular it is important that we all keep a backup, online just in case, plus it will help others who bump into this issue. I have searched many forums but nobody has uploaded a full GT-N7102 backup.

Hi,
I think you might have the same problem as I faced. What i eventually figured out is that you need to press the "Menu" capacitive button instead of the power or home button to select an option in this "recovery" mode.

No, I gave up trying, but then realised the phone was already rooted when it came from China. Google Play was not working because the model was not recognised by Google so I couldn't install any apps. I then discovered a little program called APK Installer, which allowed me to install Titanium Backup and then I was able to uninstall all the chinese apps, and then install all other apps this way.
You can search the net for apk apps, there are several sites. The only problem is that I always have to use this method to install apps, but at least it works.

Hey guys, today I'm back with another root guide. Of course it also shows you how to install recovery in case you don't have it. I will try to make the guide as easy to understand as possible, you know, for noobs. It's going to be a long day.
First thing, you can get any SuperSU zip that you want from Chainfire. I have the guaranteed one that I used to root mine. It depends on you. I will give you both links to Chainfire's thread and my file.
Requirements
-A PC
-Your device with USB cable(its battery level would better NOT below 30%)
-A stable internet connection
-Your brain(it can blow up, man, seriously)
A warning before we start:
-Files you download on your PC:
+Drivers
+Odin+Recovery
-Files you download to your device: Root(Chainfire's or mine)
Download all of them before you do anything. Extract Odin and recovery
The drivers are for Windows. I don't know if there are Samsung USB drivers for Mac or not.
Main Guide
1. Enable USB debugging on your device in developer options(to enable dev options, go to about phone, rapidly tap build number until it says that you have enabled it)
2. Open the drivers setup and install it on your PC.
3. Boot to Download mode on your device(Power off your device, then hold power and volume down button. When there's a triangle, press volume up.)
4.Connect your device to your PC via USB cable.
5.Run Odin on your PC
6.Uncheck Auto Reboot, click PDA and choose the recovery file.
7.Hit Start and wait until there's a PASS sign. Plug out your device and hold power button afterwards.
8.Hold power and volume up button to boot into recovery mode.
9.Tap Install, go to the folder where you put the root file in, then tap the root file.
10.Swipe to falsh.
11.Reboot, download Root Checker to verify
ENJOY!

Well, I tested it on the 8 or 9 inch whatever and it worked out. But there's a still chance that this won't work on models other than its own. You can check and send me your device's model and i'll figure out another way for you. But don't try this method, it will only make it worse.

Ok, you should try the other root zip file, because I posted 2 to make sure that you can do it all over again. Or you should first try rebooting your device again. I'm sorry for the inconvenience

* put the model number and serial number you have in the back of the tablet...
- It will download the proper original firmware from the samsung site and once done push on restore

2.Download Odin latest version, unzip it and double click Odin3_v3.14.4 file .
3.then you'll get a notification probably, click ok. After that you'll get like this, after that take your soft bricked phone and click power button + volume up /down + home button then
your phone will look like this,
after that connect your device to the computer, on your computer you'll see this.
then click "AP" and select the unzipped firmware you downloaded and click enter.

Unfortunately it did not work with rooting, did it as described above.
After the reboot, the tablet hangs at the start screen and does not boot any further.
how can I undo this, because before the device ran without problems
Hello everyone. I need help here.
I have a Samsung SM-T561 & some months ago, I upgraded to version 7.1
Then a few days ago, I wanted to upgrade it to version 10.
That's where things got messed up!
1st. I didn't make a backup of what current ROM.
2nd. I completely forgot to enable USB debugging (again, despite It wasn't the first time I used custom ROM)
3rd. The problem must have been from the ROMS I installed. They didn't work. So I factory resetted EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. INCLUDING THE SYSTEM.
So basically, I HAD TWRP. I HAD NO OS. I DIDNT TURN ON USB DEBUGGING MODE.
Then I understood that I didn't need ODIN anymore because I had TWRP.
So.
I downloaded the files to flash again. On SD card. And inputted it inside . So it still DIDNT WORK!!
Then I flashed in IMAGE form.
Then my TWRP DISAPPEARED.
IM ON CONSTANT BOOTLOOP.
THE ONLY THING I CAN ACCESS IS THE DOWNLOAD MODE.
AND I CAN NOT CONNECT WITH ODIN BECAUSE I HAVENT TURNED ON USB debugging...
Someone should kindly... please. Get back to me
Hi all,
I've got a Galaxy S6 SM-G920I which will boot to : An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.
I've installed the latest Samsung USB drivers to my PC.
I've installed smart switch and it says my device is " Unsupported Device " . I also updated smart switch to latest version and that made no difference.
I recently deleted 2 important video files by mistake.
A call to Samsung reveiled that there is no way to recovery deleted data from phones internal storage...
A bit of googling lead me to believe the data is still there, its just not visible. Here : https://howtorecover.me/data-recovery-internal-storage-android-phone-guide
So i'm following this guide and get stuck at the > su command. a bit more research reveals I need to root my device.
So I followed a guide on this forum to install latest version of twrp, odin, and magisk.
I reboot and I have root access to the phone.
I continue the guide and fail to proceed after the command > fdisk -l
So I install busybox, and grant it root access.
Command runs but has no output....
At this stage I decide to give up and initiate a system recovery from my phones settings.
Which lead to an endless boot cycle showing the Samsung logo.
More internet research lead me to believe downloading a stock firmware from sammobile might help.
So I downloaded G920IDVU4FRH2_G920ITEL4FRI1_TEL firmware and discovered the instructions on that webpage do not match the extracted content...
So I think that what I feed into odin was the wrong stuff and I've bricked my phone.
I can also access my phones download boot option, and thats all at the moment.
Comments and suggestions welcome
Found the solution here : https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/6nb51r/galaxy_s8_odin_flash_fail_softbrick/dk94krm/
Open Odin, place all the necessary files into their slots.
Go the the options tab, make sure "Auto Reboot" IS ticked.
Press "start", but as soon as you do, hold down Vol down+Bix+Power on your phone. Odin will fail and your phone will reboot into download mode again. Now press "Start" in Odin again, and your phone should flash without a problem. This might take a few attempts to get right, but I hope it helps.
At all flash new rom
Hey Friends,
You must have seen very good days with Lenovo P2 but when there comes a bad day when your phone stops responding to button holds and restarts. You may or may not have a clue what to do to get your phone working again just like before.
I got into this situation where only thing my phone was able to operate was a RED LED on connecting it to my laptop. Then I had to read tens of pages on XDA to find answers to all my questions. If you are in such a situation and your phone is UNLOCKED then you have come to the right place. Procedure is quite simple but remember, I am writing this guide to define complete process from blackout to complete update so follow this guide as per your needs.
I faced this situation of Total Blackout / Dead Phone (Almost) with only Red LED working and it can be very scary. So, here is the simplest procedure you can follow. I want to appreciate all those people who helped me in finding a way to boot my phone with each and everything working. Long story short, let's get this done.
Tools Required:
I am mentioning here all the Tools you will need. I will urge you to download and save these tools in case you want to unbrick your phone any time:
1. Minimal ADB and Fastboot setup for PC
2. Lenovo USB drivers v1.1.33
3. Qualcomm USB Drivers
4. Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL) v2.0.1.9 for your PC in case you have corrupted your phone's IMEI and/ or Baseband
5. Blankflash.bat in case you want to recover from total blackout (Attached)
6. Stock MM S048 Firmware for Lenovo P2 in case phone doesn't boot
7. S048_ModemTelephony.zip in case your phone boots through Stock MM S048 but SIM isn't detected and IMEI is missing. I have made a complete modem zip file for installation through recovery.
8. S251_ModemTelephony.zip in case your phone is on latest firmware and doesn't detect SIM and has lost IMEI. I have made a complete modem zip file for installation through recovery.
9. QCN file for recovering baseband version and giving you most precious network signals. (Attached)
10. WinRAR or PeaZip for uncompressing files
I will recommend you to have a specific folder for keeping all these tools in a single place.
Procedure for Unbricking:
Before going with the procedure, make sure you have downloaded all the files you need, updated Lenovo and Qualcomm drivers etc. Here is the procedure:
1. If total blackout with red LED notification when connecting to PC: Unzip blankflash.zip to a folder in C drive. Now connect your P2 to PC through USB, press volume+, volume- and power button simultaneously and double click blankflash.bat. You might have no success in your first try. Just keep trying and it will load your phone to Fastboot. Restart your phone in TWRP if installed and install a working ROM for your phone after doing a wipe. If all is good and phone works OK then great but if you have lost IMEI and baseband then it is better to reinstate your phone through first MM stock ROM S048
2. Install S048 firmware through Minimal ADB and Fastboot - use flash instructions in .txt file.
3. Wait for startup of phone. Check if fingerprint, BT, WIFI and SIM work if all work then OK.
4. If fingerprint, BT, WIFI and SIM are not working then check IMEI through dialer. Dial *#06#. If IMEI is not available then install latest TWRP through Fastboot.
5. Start P2 in TWRP recovery and install S048_ModemTelephony.zip. Restart phone to see if WIFI and SIM work.
6. If SIM is detected but not giving signals and Baseband is shown as unknown then extract 000000_0.qcn file given in .7z and restore through QFIL and restart your phone into Fastboot.
7. Now, install stock recovery of S048 firmware through Fastboot and restart your phone.
8. Use your phone like you normally do and update your P2 till firmware S251 and see if everything works including calls. Update your phone through OTA.
9. After OTA installation, stock recovery may say that update failed. Just press Back, go into Wipe user data menu and Wipe Cache only. Restart your phone which will be updated to latest version and will ask you to update to a newer version. Allow it to download the next update.
10. After installation of S251 update, install latest TWRP through Fastboot and install most recent version of LOS 16 so that your vendor partition is stable and free from any bloated files. Now, use your phone just like you want to.

You should download S048 and use flashall.bat inside that archive to install it all. However, if you lose IMEI or baseband then you can use modem and qcn files given in this thread.

If red light blinks, your phone can be detected by your laptop. Check ports in device manager settings and you'll see a new port with Qualcomm 9800 series number. If that's there, try blankflash to start in fastboot. It might need some tries before startup. Be patient and keep trying till you are in fastboot.

Press Volume+, Volume- and Power simultaneously and double click flashblank.bat. It might take some tries to finally install the scripts and start phone in fastboot. It took me 20+ tries to finally detect my phone through blankflash. Please, read OP completely.

No. Keep USB connected. Try blankflash. If it doesn't detect phone or go ahead. Close command terminal, double click again and keep doing it till it processes the files. If it is stuck somewhere. Close terminal and try again.

Check if your USB cable is alright and appropriate drivers are installed. Otherwise reinstall drivers, restart your PC and try again.

I think you might have damaged some hardware. But anyway if you want to use blankflash, I have a method.
In lenovo p2 we have another mode called QDloader mode, in which we can use blankflash. For entering into this mode, it's little tricky but, can enter in one or two go.
So, here's how:
1. Switch off the mobile.
2. Press the volume up key,
3. While holding the volume up key, insert the usb cable and at the same time press the power button (this is the trick, we have to insert and hit at the same time).
And voila! :highfive: you will see black screen with only red notification led blinking.
we are into QDloader mode. Now use blankflash :good:
