[Q] went back to factory to return phone, it updated to 4.3...froze on loading screen

RONxBURGUNDY · Mar 30, 2014

so i was planning on turning in my note 2 tomorrow to get a new phone...so i wanted to put the stock image back on it...went back to 4.1.2, no problem. then it updates to 4.3 and it's stuck in bootloop...just shows the "note 2" logo...i can't get into the volume up + power + home to erase the cache...it won't even get to that screen...all i can do is get into the odin menu...i have reloaded 4.3 about 6 times, trying different combinations of partitioning and not partitioning, neither works.

if i choose the "nand erase all" box...am i just asking for trouble? i've been messing with this for about 5 hours now...any help is greatly appreciated, i tried googling for at least 2 hours but i can't find anyone that has this specific issue...

also, i've tried using kies, it won't recognize the phone...i can't do the one where you put in the model number, says my phone can't initialize the update...grr...

just tried to put cwm on it...odin won't let it work...says "nand write start"...then says "fail!"...could it be because i "think" it's on 4.3 now? there's a message that says "knox warranty void: 0"...i think that's a new thing on 4.3...?

i'm about to just smash it and squaretrade warranty it lol

That would be correct.. You are on a 4.3 bootloader
You need to flash via odin..MJ9 Kies tar.. Also use the pit when flashing

used the pit...flashed I605VRUEMJ9_I605VZWEMJ9_I605VRUEMJ9_HOME.tar.md5 that i downloaded from here...still stuck on note II splash logo, can't get into recovery, can still get in odin. computer will recognize it's hooked up, but kies won't connect either. think i'm giving up on it

Recovery meaning stock recovery? Bc your on 4.3 bootloader so you won't be able to have a custom recovery unless on safe strap.. see if you have stock recovery and do a factory reset once Odin goes though fine

yup i think what he meant is stock recovery, and after taking ota 4.3 his phone goes bootloop and he cant perform factory reset because he cant get in to stock recovery. cmiiw.

After my grand daughter got my SCH-i650 into TWRP recovery mode and then proceeded to really (&#$^@# it up, needless to say it was totally screwed. My fault though. I ended up flashing with odin back to stock and used the MJ9 4.3 version.I didn't know that the boot loader was locked up tight on this one so I am stuck with it. I rooted, then put the new safe strap on it and got stuck in a splash screen. I could hear messages coming through but my screen was locked. Long story short, what finally worked was what you all said to do in this thread and then stock recovery and factory reset. At least I have my phone back. I really miss Alliance and Trent's rom but glad to at least have my phone working. Thank you all for all the help and suggestions.
