Hi all,
I've got a pal that has a VZW note 2 and he contacted me last night after he started having issues. I did some basic troubleshooting/recovery attempts but sadly I'm stuck now. Since you guys know more about this device that I've never owned, I'm hoping someone here has a bit of experience with this issue.
He had vrmac3 bootloader unlocked and twrp installed via casual like last year, and had a custom rom installed. All was fine until this last week. Now phone won't boot past Sammy logo during normal boot, and if he boots to twrp, he is unable to mount ANYTHING, Not sd card, internal storage, cache, efs, data... Nothing..
So I figured a fresh install of stock amc3 via Odin would sort things out. This is where it gets weird, we tried flashing the stock amc3-restore Odin file (vramc3 firmware minus bootloader) and it said pass and I had him reboot to recovery to wipe data and cache. Lo and behold, he still had twrp! Then we tried the full stock official amc3 tar and it said pass, but when we booted to recovery for factory reset, twrp again! He even tried running the amc3 tar again and he used the pit file and it too said pass but still twrp is the recovery on the phone. We even tried just flashing only the stock amc3 recovery and then pull battery and then boot directly to recovery and guess what, twrp! We've tried using a few different versions of Odin but it seems like the phone is somehow read only now, Odin always reports pass but it's like nothing actually gets written to the phone. Also wanted to add, after each of these attempts if we tried normal boot, it always freezes at Samsung logo.
Any ideas anyone?
