Root [Sprint] Did I just brick my phone?

[MongooseGA]

I haven't seen this exact problem discussed yet. I'm also frantic, so bare with me...

Just went to root my phone tonight from bone stock.

I goofed and input the wrong model info into the tool kit program, selecting a Korean version instead of my US Sprint version (D'oh!)

Now I can't get the phone to do anything but load into the TWRP recovery mode. Rebooting from dead or TWRP gets me stuck on the first boot screen "Samsung Galaxy Note II". In TWRP recovery, it says the phone is not rooted and offers me the chance to install SuperSU. Choosing either option (install or don't install) gets me the same place- nowhere.

I'm SOL without the phone for work tomorrow. Any ideas?

Did u make a backup?

Didn't have the chance to yet. From the time the phone is plugged in at the beginning of the root process, the initial reboot is where it froze.

I did get it into Odin download mode (Vol down, home, power buttons) and am trying to push the factory drivers to it.

Found the process here: Galaxy Note 2 stuck on bootloop - xda-developers


Don't know if it will work yet. Still downloading the .exe

Oh k if you could get it in dl mode your not hard brick just try and flash the right files and your good.

We'll see. You planning on being up much longer? If this doesn't work, I'll need to go plan B.


I have to think of plan B.

The odin .exe file isn't running anything. Phone is still in download mode.

If I open up the odin version from the tool kit, can I push the factory settings to the phone that way?

Just to update, I ended up figuring it out this morning.


I managed to get the phone back to stock, but lost all of my user data besides pictures stored on the phone.

Oh well, now I have to deal with getting Google Voice set up again.

Since reboot, the phone has erased all of the images that were in the gallery. Well, that sucks.
