Hello, my note II died one night. Either displays battery icon when charging or stuck on samsung logo. I can get in to odin recovery but cannot get in to bootloader mode. Device is not rooted and I did not turn on usb debugging mode earlier on. And now is the question. What do I do to recover pictures from it?. Is it possible at all?

Do you have a custom recovery? If so: make a data backup.
Otherwise: try rooting and recovering using download mode. (If it still works)
There are many tutorials on rooting (with download mode).
Question: How long is it stuck on the samsung logo? Do you have a bootloop? You are not rooted, but are you on a custom rom?

It is not rooted. I have stock ROM and dont have any backups. It shows samsung galaxy note II for ever or sometimes battery logo but it frozen and dont shows its charging. Cannot go into bootloader mode just into odin mode

And with odin mode you mean download mode? If so: Flash SU via odin, flash recovery, make a backup, flash a ROM. Most data will be in the backup, If you flash the ROM without wiping you still have all of your pictures and stuff.
Edit: I see you did not turn on USB debugging, however, as far as my knowledge goes, this is your only solution...
There is a way to push it to your device though (ADB), but I think it doesn't work without USB debugging...

Try to reflash stock rom using Odin. Flashing stock roms probaly keeps ur apps and data safe.. Unless you to a factory reset.. U can flash stock rom without triggering USB debugging

Have you tried using kies? Isn't there an emergency firmware package or something like that. If your not rooted kies is your best bet

Try emergency firmware with kies if that doesn't work get the pit file from mskips toolkit. I think you have to go to the website for it now. skipsoft.net

finally I got PIT file for note II, cwm6 with root and stock ROM but...
odin3 stays forever on: get PIT for mapping.....
tried just PIT but same effect. Without PIT file it says: no PIT partition, flashing failed.
toolkit does not talk to the device as waiting for USB debugging mode on the device. even if I choose download via odin still the same.
Any ideas?

thanks, but kies says: no response from the device
Is it possible that even if I can put device in the DL mode nothing can be done?
I tried kies on different PC. PC can see only USB camera and USB composite device and Kies stays forever on: connecting to device.
I tried my second device and kies recognized it straight away. Anyone have any ideas what is going on with my note II?
As I mentioned before I can put it into DL mode but it looks like its frozen just after doing that.
Any help will be appraciated.
I took note II from friend of mine to compare DL mode and I found something strange
His screen says:
ODIN MODE
Product NAME: GT-N7100
Custom binary download: NO
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Knox warranty void: 0
AP SWAEV: A2
When mine says:
ODIN MODE
Product NAME:
Custom binary download: NO
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
I have NOT changed ROM on my device and I had it boxed
Any ideas?
still trying different things as no replies on my post.
when I leave my device connected to PC (switched on as normal but showing only samsung logo) after 5 mins PC says found USB device, device not recognized. then after 5 seconds it disconnects. and it goes in circles. same if I try in bootloader mode, but it stays on samsung logo as well. In DL mode, PC recognizes only composite device and modem.... Any ideas please? I dont want recover data anymore as I think its lost but I would like to unbrick my note2
Did you flash pit file? If not, download it from here http://d-h.st/Dlv
Using ODIN, select the PIT file, and make sure to TICK the Re-partition option.
I hope you already have a stock ROM downloaded. In the PDA tab of ODIN,select that rom and then press start. Wait and pray.

Are you sure the repartiton option was ticked? I seem to have forgotten whether it should be ticked or not.
Do one thing. After loading the necessary files, tick re partition.
if it fails,
Load all the necessary files and make sure repartition is NOT tickd.Report back.

If I choose PIT file, re-partition box is ticked automaticaly. W/o re-partition box ticked, I have message: no binary file selected.
As I mensioned before, In DL mode, my device is not showing model number. Does it matter?
Before I tried all possibilities and suggestions on Win 8 PC, now trying on win 7 and I have more promising results, however I will try on newly installed system just to be sure that drivers and other stuff are ok. I tried different USB cables and different batteries. Still nothing, so hoping new system will help. except, anyone has different idea?
Ok, so I have done some research and even if I can put n7100 into DL mode but there is no product name displayed, device needs either new EMMC, or new PCB or JTAG. I will go with JTAG as my first option and will report as it might be usefull for someone in the future

OK, so what did you do after getting your new device? What ROM version did you start off with. Did you install any OTA updates? What rooting method did you use? What recovery were you using?

Yes. I am try 2 time. but not work.after boot in show robot logo and autoboot loop. switch between samsung and robot.
Sorry for answer your late because i just come home (I drive my car faster for come back home and answer you)
My rom data in my computer. long story for my note2. (sorry for my english. i am thai people)
I remember first I try install triangle away again and again for reset system status custom or modify but not work it still custom (some people in xda tell me try install and reset will work for reset system status) In the end I give up for system status.
But yesterday I enter menu setting again and i found my system status show normal. I try enter boot menu and show system status official. when i come back restart normal mode my system status show modify and custom. I so confuse. Why ? I want to answer.(Because I try many time but not work)
that I try install stock rom again and again. I found --> I use triangle away and reset by menu setting or reset by enter recovery mode and After first normal boot if I use connect samsung account , google account (and setup uncheck autoupdate befor restore data done -- now system status still custom) for restore my data when finish I delete some wiget. Slash samsung will occur and system status will change custom to normal and Bootloader status show official. But if you not connect restore from samsung and google accout --> system status will still custom ( That answer me why not success before because I not restore my data in first boot).
I think I close to answer for How I can change system status and come back update OTA.
In last I remember I flash stock rom N7100XXALIE_N7100OLBALI9_N7100DXALI9_HOME.tar.md5. After flash rom I change system status to normal and try update OTA by normal process that work I can update OTA Rom update to 1 step but not current Rom (From Old rom --> Current Rom must update 2-3 time ) After update it reboot everything fine by system come back modify again and can't update OTA.
I search in web xda for answer. Someone tell because program can detect SuperSu and Su program.I try change system status again to official. and After that I reboot enter bootloader mode (system status now official) and reflash by N7100XXALJ3_N7100OLBALJ3_N7100DXALJ1_HOME.tar after that my note2 autoreboot ( I think that begin i am not sure) .That all my remember.

From your post ,I think you want to keep root ,and OTA at the same time ?
Okay ,leave your phone unroot ,and everything stock ,then enjoy OTA
Since the first day you root your Note 2 .
forget OTA ,OTA is **** .Odin is god .
Do everything with odin is fine .
Unless you want to return your phone to samsung .
There is no method to keep root ,and OTA right now

Noob here, please be patient.
Samsung SGH-T989D was running CM 9. Did a factory reset as I was planing to sell the phone, but once I did that the phone was stuck in a loop at the boot logo.
Tried upgrading via recovery mode to the new CM 10, but was still stuck in boot loop.
Tried clearing cache, etc...but nothing would work.
So I downloaded the newest stock Telus ROM, put the phone into download mode and used Odin to flash - however Odin failed.
Now the phone won't start and I immediately get the following message: "Firmware upgrade encounted an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again".
I tried Kies recovery mode but it does not see my phone. Odin still sees it, but wont flash it.
I found this thread for the S2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458.
But I have not been able to find one for the S2x.. Where would I find the bootloader and kernel to flash as it explains in the above guide...
Or maybe someone has other advice?

All u need to do is download Odin 1.85 to ur PC, then go to http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules and download the twrp 2.6.6.0.tar.md5 to ur PC, power ur phone on in download mode, the same screen will come up "firmware...issue", kids will do nothing for this and u will need to make sure kids is NOT RUNNING. Odin will not see the device if kies is running at all, now open the Odin program and connect the phone to PC using OEM factory USB cable, on Odin it should say "added", now click the box PDA, find the twrp file u downloaded b4, click on that file and then hit start in Odin, DO NOT CHECK ANYTHING ELSE... Let Odin do its thing and u will be fine, Odin will reboot the phone and u will now have twrp recovery, boot to recovery to finish rooting process

Went to the site you linked but there is no twrp 2.6.6.0.tar.md5
I downloaded openrecovcery-twrp-2.6.0.0-hercules.tar
However, in Odin it still wont flash the phone (I closed all Kies processes beforehand).

I wasnt going to use the files from the other thread, I just assumed I could try this procedure once I got the correct files for the SGH-T989D:
Recovering a soft bricked phone
1) Grab the Recovery Package, and you'll see a bunch of .tar files. Take a look at the names. You'll see CODE, MODEM, CSC and .PIT. Put each one in its place.
2) Turn off your phone. Enter Download mode by presing Volume Down + Home + Power button.
3) Plug in your phone. It will show you, in a yellow box in ODIN, ID:COMx (x being the number displayed, sometimes displays 7, sometimes displays 9)
Now here, take a breath
First try flashing WITHOUT the .PIT and re-partition. And only if it DOESN'T WORK OR FIX then you flash with the .PIT and Re-Partition ticked.
4) Once ready and done all your prayers, press Start. Wait patiently. It usually takes 5 minutes to flash.
Have you done everything correctly until now? Then...
Congratulations on recovering your phone!
You deserve some cake afterwards, and some rest
Now, if your problem is the NAND rw coruption, and wasn't fixed by the above fix, then follow these steps :
5) Download the Kernel. Flash it in PDA. Without ticking Re-Partitioning
6) Successful? Nice, hope is still present.
7) Flash the recovery package, following steps 1-4 This should fix your issue. If it does not, then :
WARNING : FLASHING A BOOTLOADER IS DANGEROUS. FLASH WITH EXTREME CAUTION.
8) Download the Bootloader. Flash it as PDA or Bootloader in ODIN. Without ticking Re-Partitioning
9) Flash the Kernel, as in step 5
10) Flash the recovery package, like in steps 1-4 And that will fix any of your issues
11) After you have recovered your phone, I advise you to have your phone completely up to date by browsing and downloading the firmware for your version through SamMobile!

Earlier today I tried to update TWRP with this app I was recommended called flashify. I flashed the new TWRP recovery img then rebooted, but it would not get past the screen "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" for 10+ minutes. This is a soft brick, right? I could boot into download mode, but not recovery.
I get home and download the samsung drivers,Odin 3.09 and a few different stock recovery images (..UCMK7, the latest). Get the phone into download mode, plug it in and it shows up blue in Odin- all's good. Choose "AP" then my stock file and it checks the md5.. all's good. Hit start and eventually it fails here:
"<ID:0/010> File analysis..
<ID:0/010> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/010> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)"
I've tried 2 USB cables, running Odin as admin, 3 different images, and a whole load of any thing for 6 hours and I'm still getting the same error. I started at 2:50 PM and it's now 9. I need to go to sleep soon and need my phone so please help! Thank you.
What "AP" option did you select.
Once odin detects your device you are supposed to click PDA and then select the tar.md5 file.

I'm on 3.09 and noticed that all the titles did change for some reason, I googled it and PDA was changed to "AP". http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539 search the thread or google "odin what is ap".

I see, I did not use the latest odin yet. Did you try the emergency KIES recovery ?
If possible try an older version of ODIN but It looks like the partition tables are messed up.
Try KIES first and see if it works.

Glad to know it was fixed !
Alright folks, here's what I've got:
An S3, which is rooted, using TWRP for recovery and on a CM11 nightly. This had been running happily with no problems since February.
About a week ago, it began randomly shutting down / restarting for no apparent reason. It would do this maybe once a day.
Two days ago, it did this again while I was surfing the internet, but then proceeded into a boot loop and now will not start up at all. It shows the Samsung screen, then the Galaxy S3 screen, then stops and loops on the CM animated screen. As far as I know I didn't do anything to trigger this - no new app downloads, no new ROM flashing, etc - it just did it suddenly in use.
I can successfully get into both download mode and recovery and the phone will stay there (so I don't think this is the power button issue), but I can't do anything useful from either mode. In TWRP I get error messages regarding failure to mount cache regardless of what I do. I can't do a factory reset or wipe it, and can't flash anything.
It will connect to Odin in Download mode, but anything I have tried there comes up "Fail", or "Complete - Write Operation Failed". Can't flash back to stock, can't flash CM again. I've tried a couple different cables and different USB ports, and reinstalling the drivers. The computer in question, which has worked with Odin before, is running Win 8.
I'm at the end of what I know to do to this thing, and am beginning to suspect it has a hardware problem. Any thoughts or things to try?
I'm in a similar boat as you :
I flashed a ROM, it was working w/o issue for 3 days then all of a sudden when I launched an app on my phone (don't recall which one, but one I used regularly), the phone rebooted and was stuck at the loading screen.
TWRP couldn't mount ANY partition either..
Here is my story...

It's either a coincidental hardware failure or something weird is going on with the custom ROMS.

This does sound like a similar issue. However, since I had been running the same ROM for almost 2 months with no problems, I thought I was safe from ROM-related issues.....
I've now tried a couple different versions of Odin and they all fail, though 1.85 gives me more info (much like you saw).
Have you tried removing sim card and sd card from the phone before going into download mode and plugging to computer? I did this when I almost bricked my phone and I was able to flash factory firmware with Odin 3.07. From now on, I'm staying away from any Nightly build...

Yep, I tried pulling the SIM and SD card. No change in behavior either with or without.
If you are not running a stock 4.3 bootloader, could try using Odin to flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com. If you have the 4.3 bootloader, this could be causing the failed flash. What is the screen info when your phone is on download mode?
Have you tried using Philz Touch to flash?

Download screen is currently showing:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
I've tried to get Philz on the phone and that fails, as did trying to flash stock from sammobile. I'm getting a write failure in Odin.
Also just tried to install Philz from within TWRP.
This goes through and says "Successful", but then ends with:
Updating partition details
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
Selecting Wipe Cache/Dalvik results in:
Failed
Formatting Cache using make_ext4fs function.
E:Unable to mount 'cache'
Updating partition details
E: Unable to mount 'cache'
Use Odin to install Philz rather than twrp.

Attempting in Odin gets me:

Try flashing Philz for the d2att instead and see what happens. I have used the d2att and d2lte version on my Canadian Bell i747m.
Hi there. A friend of mine gave me a bricked L900 stuck in the black "Galaxy Note II" screen. The first thing I did was to enter stock recovery, but a bunch of red error messages appeared (as pictured). Wiping data/factory reset didn't do anything. Entered Download mode without a problem and then tried to flash every single Odin firmware for the L900 found on the whole internet, but no matter what I flash, Odin ALWAYS fails. Also noticed that after an unsuccessful flash, still in download mode you can read in red: "sw rev check fail device 3 binary 2". Also, it is not recognized by Kies.
The previous owner said the phone bricked while receiving an OTA update. I have spent a whole week trying to fix this thing! I decided to ask for some help here before smashing it with a hammer.
Any help is much appreciated!

I have something that should fix you right up. I have to find the file so it may take a while to get back to you. I am headed to bed now.

I forgot to mention I already tried flashing a file named "fix.tar" that I found in one of these L900 unbrick threads, but sadly it didn't work (Failed to flash, like anything else). I hope you have different file. Thank you!

Have you tried using heimdall to flash? It is an odin link software that can be used on window, mac, and Linux.
Sent from my XT1045 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Trying now. I have downloaded Heimdall Suite 1.4. After installing the included drivers and opening the program, I'm not sure what to do. When I go to "load package" I am unable to pick any of the firmwares I have downloaded. They are not displayed in the window that opens to pick the file (and I am in the right folder). Heimdall is new territory for me! Any suggestion?

You will need to extract the files and use the flash tab. Don't remember if a pit files is included in the tar.md5 package (fyi you might have to remove the .md5 to extract the files) bit if you need one let me know.
On the flash tab select your pit file then add a partition, then select the corresponding file. You will need to do this for every partition you want to flash. Once setup click on the start button.

Thank you. I have extracted the files but Heimdall doesn't recognize them. It doesn't recognize any .tar or .md5 file. I am very familiar with file extensions, extracting, flashing software, etc... but this is the first time using Heimdall and I am very frustrated because I can't make it work. Any suggestion? Thanks again.
You give up on this yet domenicostorino? Looks like according to your images, you just need to odin with an included pit file. Lemme know, I have a pit that works for this device, had to fix one last week. Your images are showing no such directory, so that should fix you.
Edit: Grab the pit from here Use it with stock tar and flash via odin. That is the one I grabbed.
Hey! My Note has been collecting dust on the corner of my desk but I haven't given up on it yet! I would really apprecite if you can share that pit file and some steps. So far, EVERYTHING I've flashed with Odin just fails. Maybe that pit file is all I'm missing! Please help me bring that phone back to life!!

Just grab that pit file I edited with, select it in the pit section of odin, it should check mark the repartion as well. At the same time grab the stock firmware tar. You are going to be doing everything just like you have been, just using a pit file and repartitioning at the same time. Good luck, just holler, I will be around most of today. I used this firmware with that pit. Firmware
If it doesn't boot, don't worry, enter recovery and see if it fixed the can not mount, I don't know which baseband you currenlty have, so that could keep it from booting. If that happens and mounts are fixed, then just grab the last firmware and flash it without the pit file. Here is the latest FIRMWARE.
Remember you flashing tar files, all three of them need to be extracted.
Thank you. I did everything exactly as you said but the pit file didn't do the trick. It failed right away again. Of couse when I enter recovery the same can't mount messages in red appear again.

Assuming you extracted the t0lte.zip to read t0lte.pit and placed in pit section of Odin with repartition checked, and extracted the rom to a .tar and place in the AP section then hit start. Should have worked or did for me anyway. Have you tried different usb cable as well as a different port on pc? <that can cause odin to fail. Also which Odin version are you using? I use 3.09 Odin. Wife's phone went on the blink last week because of a battery failure, nothing would mount after replacing battery. What I described is all I did, she is back up and running with latest stock and rooted now.
After looking at this again, according to the images on first post, you have the latest stock build NE2. I extracted the pit file from the wife's phone and compared to the other. They are the same. At this point I would just try one more time with the pit and the latest stock firmware. If that doesn't work then maybe it is just a bad eMMC.
Here is the extracted pit from wife's phone if you want to try it. View attachment L900_NE2.7z
I did try again many times using the pit file and latest NE2 firmware. I guess the eMMC is faulty. Thanks for your help anyway!

I'm having a similar issue. Phone was charging in the truck, came out to the Galaxy Note 2 boot screen with the green light on, once I unplugged it though, it just died, Any attempts after that and the screen goes fuzzy on me. I can only boot into downloader mode, but everything I've tried to flash via two different ODIN's so far fails almost immediately. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-sprint/help/odd-semi-brick-t3082102 I'd really love some help sorting this out.
