Hey guys. I am stuck on my Note 2. I have recently reverted to stock after rooting (about 2 months ago) and now out of the blue my phone has what seems to be a soft brick. I'm wondering if the NAND is dead.

Upon normal boot, the phone is stuck on the Galaxy Note II splash screen. Only way to make it go away is to remove the battery. If I try to plug in my charger after removing the battery the icon for the battery shows up and freezes. I have to remove the battery to get out of that screen as well.

I can boot into recovery mode but I get a android icon laying on it's back with a red triangle and an exclamation point out of it's chest.

I also get a bunch of red text that talks about failing to mount /cache, /sdcard, /cache/recovery/log etc.

I've tried to flash with Odin 3.07 my stock ROM but I get a fail at NAND Write start.

I'm running out of options. I do get the blue menu at the recovery menu and options to update from ADB and from external SDCard both of which don't work. I also tried to wipe the data and do a factory reset from this menu, but it always says it fails to mount /sdcard and /cache.

I've tried rebooting without the external SD card and even without the SIM card. Nothing works.

Any help you could give I would appreciate. Thanks everyone.

oh goodness.. i think the only wait to save it would be the odin method.. i would pursue that more.. maybe try different cables.. make sure you have the correct version of Odin and all the drivers for Samsung... make sure ODIN connects..
best of luck man.. wish I could be more help.. I know i'm not the best at troubleshooting these kinds of issues.. i'm typically one that follows line by line directions to get flashing done.. not sure why and how things work..
