Do you have ADB working? Have you used UsbView.exe (presuming that you are running Windows? Linux is actually easier with lsusb.)
Step #1: Determine if you can get to EDL. This does no harm but you will have to do a LONG power press to restore usage.
Does it go off into voodoo-land but the screen remains the same (frozen)?
Does UsbView.exe show VID/PID 05c6/9008? That's EDL mode.
If you want you can use my UsbLog.exe which is found on my website up a level, down to the Windows section. It's quite handy to figure out where all the Windows "bongs" are coming from. |
I have a Mac that has a Windows VM on it. This may or may not complicate the process. I haven't done anything yet! I could set up an Ubuntu VM if that would make anything easier - and assuming that the Ubuntu VM can connect with the Note Air.
I have ADB working on Mac and have ample room on my Mac to back up my Note Air 2. I set up ADB on my Windows VM, but I haven't been able to get Windows to see my Note Air 2 yet. That keeps me from using USBView. There is probably a Mac alternative out there.
I tried adb reboot edl. It goes the voodoo-land route. I was able to reboot it into normal mode before too long.
That's where things are as of now.
