PLZ HELP!!!

If you can still start in Download mode (Home key + Volume Down key + Power key) or in Recovery mode (Home key + Power key) it's not hard-bricked so it can be revived.
Options to try: start in recovery and wipe data/factory reset (recommended when changing roms), reflash stock rom with odin and do same as above...

I dont know where to get stock rom?????

Search for a multifile ROM (for Gio) and flash it with ODIN

flash with odin.

I am Going to try it .... Lets hope evry thing goes alrite.........

I also bricked my phone 2days before and rcovered.dont worry.
You need to get odin flashable firmware files.
My suggesion is to google with your phones no like s5360
... Etc try googling PDA_S5560...DDK etc etc
They will be group of files with extension .tar and filename starts in my case with PDA_S5360....,MODEM_S 5360....,BOOT_S....
Etc. best luck

Hello and a sorry for my english
I've done something very very stupid. In the ROM Manager I choose, by mistake, in the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery a different phone than my one and then I push the Backup Current Rom option.In that moment my galaxy gio crashed... it is completely off, I ve try to push all the buttons it is really dead.
What can I do?
There is a very small space on the bottom of the phone where I can push with something to restart it?
Help please

Rom Manager author should really get those CWM recoverys out of that list ... lately a lot of ppl flash wrong CWM`s and brick their phones
No, u don`t have any "hidden button to reset it "
Try to get your battery out, leave it alone for 5 mins or so, and then put battery in and press Volume Down + Home button + power button same time and see if u can get to Downloading mode
If that works, try to flash a stock rom with Odin, there are some tutorials here use the search button

Rom managers recovery for Gio is outdated (4.X.X), better use recovery 5.X.X by Phiezx

Note 2 stuck on bootscreen - Need help please :(

Hello,
I have a very strange problem with my Note 2.... Yesterday i checked mails on my Note 2 when it suddenly shut down and rebooted.
First i didnt think it was a big issue but when it was on login screen where i have to enter my PIN i just touched the screen and it shut down again. Same thing happened again after that. Now it doesnt even boot up anymore... It just stays on Samsung bootscreen all the time. I can get into Download mode but not into recovery for some reason. I had no custom rom or anything else installed on my device. It was completely Stock.
I already tried flashing the firmware again via Odin but without any success....
Now i don't know what to do anymore and hope one of you guys can help me get back into my phone as i don't want to lose the data on it
Thank you in advance
Best regards

Try doing a data/factory reset and wipe cache in recovery, you`ll loose the data though. But it is the only way imo.

Then you have to take it to a samsung service center or the store for repair mate.

Anyone else with an Idea? What i also think is strange is that it says in Download mode that i downloaded 5 Custom Roms and my Current Binary and System Status are Custom???? I just installed the official firmware from SamMobile again -.-

Noone able to help me? I'm going insane at the moment cause nothing works.... Even when i plug in the usb cable the phone boots to the Galaxy Note 2 screen and nothing else happens.... In download modus it says i'm on a custom rom what i never installed to begin with....i only installed Stock Rom.... Please help what should i do T_T

So now i flashed the Rescue Rom but it did not change anything. Odin completed the flashing without errors though nothing changed. Also tried flashing Stock Firmware again but the status in download mode still shows custom system and binary.... Could it be that Odin is not flashing correctly though it is not giving me any errors?
I'm really desperate at the moment -.-

My galaxy s1 was bricked at one stage. I took the battery out and left it for am hour then I got it to boot into download mode. Are you putting the right rom on it? Like a whole factory rom?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

Yes already tried Stock Rom and also the rescue rom.... nothing changed

Can you flash CWM onto it? Then turn it off., hold down volume up, home and then power Tool you see Samsung logo?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

Already tried root with CWM but it won't go into recovery either. I also tried flashing the rescue rom with Pit-File but it does not go further than bootscreen. At the moment i really don't know whats wrong with the phone and i'm a bit desperate right now....
Isn't there anybody who's able to help me with this, please?

Nice that it worked for you Just tried it but it does not work for me... I'm still stuck at bootscreen

Boot screen stuck
Hi TS,
U need to first let us know which variant of the note 2 u are using.
is u want to solve the bootloop issue,u need to follow these step as posted by someone here:
1. flash CWM using odin,then boot into CWM(power+vol up+that centre button) then wipe dalvik> cache partition > then data reset
2.DL sammy's official firmware for your note variant (7105 or 7100 or whatever)
3.flash sammy's firmware thru odin
4.let phone boot into android
then do whatever you need to do.
I had the same prob at you did,followed that guy's advice and not everything is back to factory and i can send it in for warranty.

[Q] An Assortment of Difficulties (I Used Search + Recovery Methods)

Problem now is that its stuck in a boot loop and I've tried and succeeded at flashing the stock rom through odin on windows 7.
Rom starts up occasionally but does not stay stable no matter what rom I flash and just goes back in to a boot loop.
Power button doesn't seem to be stuck.
If anyone can guide me to a solution I will reward them with $5 via paypal.

Have you tried to load the drivers separately (meaning not using the toolbox method)? I have used Windows 8 without any problem, but I didn't use the toolbox. I used Odin. Worked like a charm.

did you wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions after that install of the 4.1.2 gapps? have you tried odin?? and correct me if im wrong you can boot your phone up but when you get to the home screen you get a bunch of force close? gapps wouldnt and shouldnt soft brick you ??

I'm stuck in a boot loop no matter what rom I flash. I've flashed stock with oden, flashed jedi5 with the stock telus kernal and TWRP and clockworkmod...
I've tried redownloading the stock rom multiple times and I even setup another comp to use windows 7 again.
Yes I have tried oden as well.
I have no idea what to do

Do you get any errors in Odin what r u flashing does it finish if all is failing for you sounds like a sticky power button try fiddling with it with out breaking it your phone should be booting up with all those steps you have performed if Odin doesn't return you to stock and still can't boot something is wrong in deed try and bypass all those errors go Into settings and factory reset then reboot

I'm flashing the stock koodo/telus rom and I have wiped everything multiple times.
I dont think its a stuck power button as it still clicks when i push it.

so again... question ??? is ODIN failing what errors are you getting kinda hard with out much detail ODIN will always restore and if it doesnt then it will give some error...... and you are kind of confusing me bro you can boot to a ROM but its all broken and you can boot into CWM but cant flash anything ?? have you tried flashing TWRP in odin and try to flash a proper ROM again?

It "succeeds" with that green background.
I can boot in to the rom occasionally and everything is perfect but then it crashes and goes in to a boot loop.
And yes I have tried TWRP and flashed Jedi5 after wiping everything in TWRP.

so whats crashing do you get process.core force close /...system.ui stoped working or literally you are doing something on your phone and then BOOM its in a boot loop i know your not new to flashing just trying to really pin point whats really going on here bro its sucks that you are having this issue is this the only ROM you are having this issue with the miui and now the jedi? do you have any tweaks installed build prop edit any special configuration ??

Nothing special is flashed on and its purely just stock. Crashes are just instant with no error. No tweaks or anything and I've tried with the stock recovery, twrp, and cwm. (All recent updates)

Try the dark side wipe. Then flash your ROM. Only use it in twrp tho cuz it can break cwm6+

Just tried that... And I think it ended up just being my power button being stuck down or something?
When I got to the rom this time it popped up with a do you want to restart popup.
I'll report back after some testing.

[Q] N7100 Boot Loop + Stuck at Samsung word

Hello everyone! This is my first post here, actually ive been here just for stalking and follow tutorials. this forum is the best for me and helped me a lot. But, 2 days ago, I got an issue that cant be solved by me by refering threads. So I decided to register to forum, and ask by myself.
Here's the problem.
"There has been sudden booting while I was using Facebook on my device, while I reboot it, it stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note II -GTN7100" after a while, it reboot again. It happened suddently. It happens continously untill now. It has been 2 days I search through the forum but none can help me."
My device details while the problem occur :
ROM : Paranoid Android 3.99 RC2
Recovery : TWRP 2.6.3.0
kernel : stock
and my device can turn into download mode, and TWRP. but only cant boot into ROM.
I did try to flash many ROM via TWRP. And do fresh format.(Clean evrything via TWRP). Install various ROM and it seemed cant help to boot into the ROM.
I also try to flash stock from SAM, via Odin, but it helpless.
I also discovered that is not the power button issue, as i can boot into recovery without restarting by itself. So I think it is not about the power button.
I tried to use other recovery, and flash CWM via Odin, but cant get to CWM recovery mode. I also tried to flash stock recovery, but same as CWM. Only TWRP is working on my phone.
I searched thorugh the forum, and many ask to do factory reset, but it helpless for me.
Thanks everyone for any suggestion! and dont ask me to go to Samsung centre as my device warranty is expired.:cyclops:

does it say anything about efs or pit being corrupted
well flash this http://d-h.st/fWr and try install any custom rom and get back with the result
and what about philz recovery that does not work even http://d-h.st/iII

Try flash cf-auto root through odin. Usually the phone will successfully booting after the auto root process done.

well it seems its time to it to service guys it should have booted fine or maybe the pit partition damaged is not letting it boot
if u have tried solving that way then finally to ss
flash pit partition http://d-h.st/Dlv,then flash the firmware stock

I read through the thread and was about to say what the above poster suggested. Make sure you tick repartition in Odin when you've input the pit file.

Sadly solve
Hello everybody.... I assumed that this topic now shall be closed since I sadly solved it.
The solution :
After trying stock ROM and cant enter stock recovery, I tried many official rom 4.1.2 and many custom rom, but nothing can help.
So I decided to go to Samsung centre, then they tried to flash with their own odin, so the same thing happened. After a few checkings, ive been told that my motherboard got problem. So I need to change a new motherboard but I dont want.
So, i decided to buy a brand new phone that same price as the new motherboard =.= .... Thanks to all that trying to help me especially mr Ankit.. Many2 thanks and i appreciate it.. Taking 3 days without sleeping to figure it out seems helpless..
If there are any possible solution, please share to me since Im still following this thread..

Continuing from my above post, I also faced the same situation...Samsung service center guys told me that my motherboard needs to be replaced and it would cost Indian Rs.7400/-, so I am going ahead with the replacement, as now also a new note 2 costs min. Rs.22k in India. And at the Rs.7500/- price point even the new 'Android One' phones launched by Google are no where near to the punch packed by Note 2.
Hope this post helps other beleaguered souls like me.

Pity, mate- but I think motherboard change will in fact provide you a new phone. Samsung has used some third party components that have not been so reliable. New motherboard will have aproven components.

Hey guys so I had my phone at 4.1.2 all stock everything. Then I decided to root and install the DN3 rom as I Flash the rom the AROMA installer DID NOT open, it just said it flashed correctly and I have to re boot. After Rebot I got stuck at boot loop . I flashed STOCK rom 4.3, and same thing everytime I flash ANY CUSTOM ROM DN3,phoenix,omega,jellykat) Aroma doesnt open but it says it flashed. I always get bootloop or stuck at samsung logo upon flashing any custom roms.
also when I flash a custom rom before i reboot, recovery says either im not rooted, or it has to fix root.
Please help me! I flashed stock rom waaaay tooo many times just trying to get a custom rom. Btw Im in 4.3 Jellybean , XXUEML3 Bootloader
I tried changing my recovery from Philz, CWM. and TWRP Same thing every single time. Tried Downloading from other links. Tried rooting with Dr. Ketan and CF root. Tried using lower Odin versions.

just a random thought,have you done all the wipes correctly? like internal sd card,dalvik and cache and when in philz there's another option to "wipe to install new rom"?
And philz does ask that phone is not rooted do you want to fix it,click on NO
You said you are 4.3 stock ROM,have you rooted it correctly,using dr ketan's tool?

1.Yup, All wipes done including the wipe in philz that says wipe to install new rom
2. I tried that too, still got either boot loop or stuck at samsung logo. I also tried the YES option to fix, but still stuck, or boot loop :/
3. What do you mean by that? Yes I think I did since i have alot of apps that needs root and it runs smooth (TitaniumBackup, LuckyPatcher, BusBox, etc.)

How about try installing a custom ROM that is AROMA free?I know only the latest jellykat V4 is based on aroma the previous versions are not,i haven't tried other roms you mentioned so i can't relate to them.

Let me know if flashing one of the NON aroma ROMS works out for you,if you are interested in NON touch wiz ROMS then AOSB rom is good as well,runs off 4.4.2 ,i use it from time to time when i get bored of TW so i keep going back and forth between TW and aosb. Good luck

Err I got the same problem. Only happens on stock roms. Thankfully AOSP roms work but I'd like to use the S-Pen features. Tried like everything, even lost my Titanium Backups accidentally :crying:

Just another thought, why don't you try and flash one of the prerooted stock ROMs which are Knox free. Also they don't have Aroma. Flash using Philz 5.15.0. Hope you succeed. If it boots up succesfully, you can try other ROMs as well. And always do a MD5 checksum before installing just to be double sure what we are installing is not corrupted. Wishing you success!

Hey guys! I did what you guys said but NOTHING INSTALLED! :/ I always get a Fail or Error. Tried Flashing 2 different non-aroma roms, 1 was succesful other one had a failure/error while flashing. But still... both had me on Bootloop and Stuck Samsung logo.
I also check md5 before i flash something. About the MD5... I notice something everytime I flash, I get this "checking md5 : md5 not found : skipping md5 checking" something like that? then the error will start from there, then it wont flash the rom. :/

That's strange. I rooted after installing official 4.3 OTA and never had any problem installing a custom ROM. Using Root explorer check in system/app if you have any Knox bits remaining. Maybe it can be the reason why ROMs aren't installing on your phone. Even I have the ML3 bootloader. Also when you're stuck on Samsung Logo after flashing ROM wait for 10 mins or so and then long press the poeer button which will lead you to the Recovery mode. There again wipe cache and dalvik and reboot and select no when prompted something about lost root.

Lucky you! Just checke system/app no knox left. hmm ok I'll try AGAIN later :/ after flashing and stuck on samsung logo, should i turn of my phone? or just let it stuck and then press power button after 10 mins?

Btw I get stuck on Samsung with GT n7100 and other one is "samsung" only.. I get stuck on those depending on which rom I flash. some times its the one with GT-n7100 sometimes its just the "samsung"

Give the ROM sometime to boot, usually takes around 5-10 mins. If the setup screen doesn't show up then long press the power button which will take you to recovery. Then wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot.

Also I've noticed upon installing different ROMs, after the Samsung GT-7100 logo the LED lights up first and then stays on for a long time, then you get the menu and back keys lighting up, this only happens when the ROM is succesfully flashed. I've just noticed this while trying out different ROMs, may not be true on every phone. So when I notice this I just let the phone boot up and wait for the Setup screen to show up.

Yes I know that problem. Your system files are corrupted.
Search at sammobile for the latest rom of your country and flash it with odin 3.09.
After that you can root it , flash cwm and majeca backup.

Here is my sad little story!
I started out when i tried DN4 for my Note 2. it worked like a charm. This is way back in 2015 or something. And after a while i saw new ROMS popping up and decided to try them. Followed all the instructions like wipes resets, post installation wipes for cache and so on...then KABOOM goes my Baseband and IMEI. After a lot of man hour on reading and digging posts i found that the patched MJ9 could fix my "emergency calls only" problem. But didn't work on any other ROMS except for stock firmware and DN4. ever since I have been trying to get any other ROM work on my note 2 and i Cant seem to fix it. Always the Baseband vanishes and IMEI goes null. Any thoughts on the same guys?
Do you think there is hope for my little guy?
