My note 2 was working perfectly with CleanROM 3.3. Only one problem is the Flash Player not working. So I flashed the new Flash Player from the site. Then after that my Note 2 WON'T start or Power on or get into Recovery MOde. NOTHING is happen. Am I having the hard brick? I believed I did not do anything wrong except flashed the new Flash Player. Weirddddd. I am with Rogers. Any help, Pleaseeeee.
Thank You all

You "flashed" flash player? What did you do exactly?
Thank you for your fast reply. By using Note 2, I just downloaded the new Flash Player apk from this XDA site and install like normal. After that I reboot the phone. And that is all. I can not turn it on or go into recovery mode. I did Nandroid backup but useless now because the phone wont start.

Which version did u download? Just went to adobes archives and the flash player for android downloaded as an apk. And I would NOT flash an apk file I would just install as normal.

First off, obvious question- is it charged? Have you pulled the battery & then tried restarting yet? Also, when you plug it in to your computer, does the computer recognize it or give an error? My GSII got bricked by TWRP & it wouldn't do anything at all either, and when I plugged it in my comp it gave me a "driver not found" error.

Either way, even you ARE bricked, all you have to do is call Samsung. Tell them you were using your phone when all of a sudden it shut off and won't turn back on & they can unbrick it for you. I had my GSII back in a week, working like new.

These phone are very resilient .I been learning and making my own scripts and kernel mods and end up soft bricking several times a week .It always comes out if if I can't get into anytype if recovery.It seems to always go into downloading mode with no problem. It just depends on what I do .
