I found my phone dead this morning and tried plugging it in. The screen reacted by showing a loading battery logo that seems to have froze. I booted into recovery and tried to factory reset but it shows that nothing is mounted. When trying to boot out of recovery it doesn't get past the galaxy note II screen. I've attached a picture of each screen I mentioned.

Prior to this, I was experiencing root issues. Titanium backup reported that I has a outdated binary I believe. I tried updating through super user but I would get an error. My phone has also been experiencing terrible battery life which I assumed was a kernel or rom issue, though it's clear that it wasn't. Regardless, I was running the beanstalk rom if anyone wanted to know.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Have you tried using a different battery? Is the battery a samsung stock battery? Is the battery physically flat or is it swollen? Have you done a battery pull and then attempted to boot the phone? If you have a external charger, fully charge the battery (unless the battery is swollen or damaged).

You might also boot into recovery and try charging from there. Recovery has it's own kernel and it is not altered much from what I can tell. I use twrp and it shows when the battery is charging. I'd use twrp 2.6.3.x as it is proven while 2.7.0.0 is freshly released.

Can you boot into recovery and pull a Nandroid? If so, do so. If recovery is stable (and you have adequate battery charge) try to flash a T889 TW rom and see if a stock kernel and firmware will allow the battery to charge.

Check your device's battery with other one . I think your old battery makes all the trouble .

Or Just make sure if your device got virus infection . That may also cause this same problem . Better idea is contact your device's dealer . They can fix your device .

I'm here to report that my phone is most likely bricked. I tried installing different roms and kernels through my external sd card but none of them would boot. Out of pure stupidity, I flashed a different recovery on my phone and from there I probably killed all chances of saving my phone. It is now unable to boot into recovery and unable to be recognized by ODIN.

Any further suggestions are again appreciated.

Does your phone boot in to download mode ?

Yes it does go into download mode but isn't recognized by Odin.

If you get ODIN working then the device can be recovered by flashing back to stock.
1) Did ODIN work for your device before this issue ?
2) Did you already try updating drivers, different cable etc etc.

How about Heimdall, check if it recognizes your phone.

This sounds strangely similar too what happened with my phone. Worked fine and then next day dead.

By any chance did you install Jedi Rom? That was the Rom i was using before mine died.

I have used the Jedi Rom but I was using the beanstalk rom. The symptoms sound a lot like sudden death syndrome but my phone was sent in and fixed for that.

To be exact about Odin and Heimdall does recognize my phone but trying to install anything will give u this error : "device not accessible."
