[Q] Black Screen , no boot !!!!

Hi there,
I tried to root my new GNote , but I messed up with a silly mistake after I flash another rom for SGS2 ( this is a reminder to double check the procedures TWICE ) using Odin3 v1.85.
My GNote now in black screen and never boot ( of course ) .....
The device still recognized by Odin3 ( I saw the box becoming yellow everytime I connect the USB cable ) , but of course I couldn't go in download mode !! However, I downloaded the stock rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310513 ) and I tried to flash it using Odin3 , but no success !!
Also I could see the device using the adb devices.
Please help to recover to the stock rom.

So you have now a sgs2 bootloader.... You need a jiig to put it in download mode and then, you will be able to flash a stock rom with odin. This is what I have down to reset my flash counter

Sure you can go to download mode.
Shutdown, hold start, volume down and power button at the same time until the screen appears. Release and it will go to download mode.
Now you can flash using odin.

Still no Success

Open a command prompt, navigate to your Android SDK,
Adb reboot download
If that doesn't work then you'll need a jig

Pressing the power button for a longer time will shut it down as well.
Or
Take out the battery a bit longer, hold down volume button already before putting in the battery.
(sometimes it starts by itself when you place the battery)
Keep trying.
Suddenly it will happen.
I'm almost sure....

[Q] GT-I9505 Bricked After Clearing Some Memory!!!

Thanks in advance for your time, I'm lost without this phone!!!
I was attempting to clear a bit of memory, and read somewhere that if you *#9600# and select option 2 it gets rid of old update files etc.
I did this and rebooted my phone to get a blank screen.
The phone vibrates when you hold down the power button, and also when you plug in USB, but there is nothing on the display, and no light to say its charging.
PLEASE TELL ME I HAVEN'T KILLED MY PHONE!!!!!!

Can you go to download mode?
Remove your battery and insert and hold volume down key,home button and power button at the same time, see if you can enter to download mode. You need to put your phone to download mode prior to use.Odin

I had this when running TWRP and if I remember you hold the "off" button down until it starts to reboot and then quickly hold the up button while it's rebooting.
You may be able to just hold the start and up button at the same time then turn the start button loose when you see the logo.
Again; I can't remember exactly what I did but it's safe to say to device is not broken.
One note: I was never able to get TWRP to run correctly (consistently) on this device without at least some issues.
I use CMR with no problems.
Also when I had this problem i had to do a complete wipe to get completely into download mode...
Good luck...

That's correct! it will auto restart so you have to get your timing right. Try holding down the start button and as soon as the screen goes blank release the start button and grab the up button..

The phone is not More Warranty and I can not flash the original rom just go into recovery because the phone restarts all the time ... but since you just insert the battery the phone begins to restart without crushing any key may not be the key power stuck ?

Is it reboot instantly or after 2-3 seconds?
If you got enough time try to clear cache in recovery
