had everything to do with it..dont care if he just got it or not he was in a setup wizard boot loop like many people found them selfs in after rooting and removing something they shouldnt of only fix for that is to use kies like in that thread or get the stock image and odin it like the op did to fix it
Op. Did u try to root?
Someone probably rooted and messed it up...since 8t still got to the set up screen and appears to work he probably figures hed sell it to some sucker. Unfortunately this op probably bought it...amd there really wasnt much of a way for him to know it was messed with since setup still popped up
Just my theory...always make sure a device works when buying used...go through the setup, test all the main features. ..spend a good 10 minutes atleast with the phone before you actually give the guy money...and if your buying online like on ebay...good luck

After searching hard for a solution, I have come to the conclusion that CM10 fried my tab's kernel memory.
What initially happened was just a random freeze while I was using the tablet, running the CM10 preview build. Keep in mind this was a couple weeks ago or so.
I hard reset the tablet, and it randomly boots into download mode. Okay... nothing weird. Reboot again.
Back into download mode. Inspection reveals the message "Reason: No Kernel" at the top of the command line.
I've been at work all day (thankfully a slow day) and I've tried just about everything from rebooting the tablet into recovery mode - which the device no longer has, either - to Odin, to ADB. A final google search directs me to this thread, where it appears the same thing happened to a non-rooted user and he had his mainboard replaced (assuming for free) due to hardware malfunction.
So I guess I'm just here looking for insight, perhaps closure. Is it really dead? If so, how can I make the best of this? Anything that I can salvage through a teardown? Perhaps a gadget I can build with it?
Any input at all is highly welcomed - even wanted. Please, give your thoughts on my loss of this tablet.
If your able to get into download mode, your tab is not dead. (Hopefully you can still get into download mode)
I had a similar problem recent too. I had to ODIN a couple times to fix whatever my problem was.
Download an ODIN stock ICS version for your device (assuming its US wifi only based off the model number in the title). You can get it here http://www.sammobile.com/.

Take your own advice and reread your post before acting like an ungrateful douche. You never said whether you tried Odin multiple times either. Not a great way to get anyone to go out of their way to respond.

If you can't flash to a stock ROM with Odin, with the "Re-Partition" option checked (select the correct pit file, get it from samfirmware/flashing tools), it's pretty safe to say it's a hardware fault.
I was trying to reinstall the firmware after having issues with service mode and followed the odin procedure to do so but it came up failed and the phone as not booted up since.
The phone if just powering on say it need to run a recovery through Kies but that does not see the phone so no joy there, I can get it to download mode but thats about it Odin see the phone but fails every time I try to install firmware. Ive note in gray on the phone it says Write protection enabled

go with the no wipe factory restore... The file is big, but thats probably the only thing that can get you working.

Once you installed the Stock Image did you go in to recovery and do the data wipe and cache wipes?

Try to reflash and then do the data wipes by pulling the battery before it boots after the stock image is installed.

Please pay attention to the model number and forum you are in
You can permanently damage your phone by flashing things for the wrong phone

I have the Original 4.2.2 Stock Firmware for you. I sent you a Pm awaiting your response. The links will be sent to you after the response.
I tried flashing TWRP not thinking anything of it. The first time goo.im force closed and I'm like okay probably just need to try again. I tried again and it said it was successful.
When I pressed reboot recovery I got the ODIN screen. I can get my phone to boot, I just have no access to recovery.
I took it to best buy because I heard they were restoring them to stock. The guy tried flashing stock several times, but on reboot, nothing changed. Everything was the same as it was before I took it in. I still got the ODIN screen entering recovery, and he even chatted with a ATT rep who didn't know what to do. He suggested I take it in to ATT for a warranty exchange.
I really don't want to risk voiding my warranty...
My question is, could attempting to install TWRP have messed me up beyond repair, or would it have been something he was doing wrong?
Second, how long do you predict till we see a flashable ODIN file?

LOL i don't think how many people try right now, YOU CANNOT FLASH A RECOVERY ON MF3, FLASHING IT IS NOT GOING TO MAKE U COOL B/C U GOT IT WORKING...B/C YOU CANT!!!!! NOW STOP TRYING
If you bricked your device doing something ...I recommend you do not listen to the posts I have cleaned, as that is fraud...saying you innocently did this and that and "acting stupid" is not how you should live life, let alone try to defraud your carrier or insurance company.
To have veteran users come in here and make these suggestions is also wrong. If you taker a chance with anything from this website, the onus is on you. Be a grown up and own your mistakes,
Hello i have a huge issue with my g2. I flashed carbon rom for my d800 by mistake and now i can only boot into fastboot mode and download mode. Now i have the stock files to return back of course and i followed the guide perfectly but have issues with the flash tool. For whatever reason, it keeps saying "model is different" whenever i put the files in. Because of this, the files never flash and my phone just sits in download mode. If anyone has any idea how to help me out here, i would definetly appreciate it!
Did you flash the AT&T kernel after you flashed the ROM? I forgot and the same thing happened to me. See if you can get to the factory reset menu. Do the factory reset and it'll take you back to recovery if I remember correctly. That's what I did.

Houston did that on purpose so that the roms could be flashed on all devices. And how do you accidentally flash a rom? There are some pretty deliberate steps required to do that. When you tried to boot into recovery, when the LG logo popped up, did you release and repress the buttons, or did you keep holding them? You have to let go of them and immediately repress them to get to the factory reset screen. Once you're there, you follow the prompts to do a factory reset and it will throw you back into recovery instead of resetting the device.
Also, can you see your device in ADB?

Well because after i flashed carbon rom, i wasn't aware that you had to flash an at&t kernel as well hence my issue. Can't use any adb commands since i am stuck at fastboot. I have tried over and over again and i can't reach recovery nor can i reach the factory reset screen.

I have a SPH-L720T
A few months ago I rooted using CF-Auto-Root and everything was working fine. I made no other changes.
Last night I tried to update the phone using Kies so I could start using the WIFI calling. It seemed to update fine and started up but the WIFI was off. Now it cannot be turned on. Slide the switch to ON and it immediately switches back to OFF. I eventually did a factory reset on the phone but that did not resolve the problem. But it did start showing a message when I try to turn on WIFI that security software has disallowed the action. I went into SuperSU and it asked to turn of Knox. I did that. Now the message doesn't come up any more but WIFI still can't be turned on.
Can anyone offer any advice on what I should do next?

Odin the latest tar file (locate it yourself and if you don't know how to use Odin there are plenty of threads and posts on how to). And perform another factory reset.

Agree with this one. Odin to NC6. If you really wanted, ODIN back to NAF, see if Wifi works, then ODIN to NC6, and if wifi still works, re-root with CFAutoRoot
Thanks for the replies. Downloading NC6. Fingers crossed.
That did the trick without the need for another factory reset. Again I appreciate the help. Thank you.
