How come you have CRT installed if you don't have CWM? Try booting with 'BACK' button held.
And reflashing doesn't help. You must wipe data.

i copied the .lib to system, that makes the crt work. how can i do this? but when i did it rebooted and now i'm in boot loop. no recovery image installed no nothing, what can I do, ca you guide me? please
please can someone give me a solution,i'm a bit messed up, and i don't know how to solve it, i'm a bit noob
So you're bootloader is unlocked, huh? Then flash DooMKernel(or whatever you want). Flashing a kernel should install you a recovery.
Hope it helps.

actually my bootloader is Locked
Since your bootloader is locked (lol...plz read ArmorD) all you can do is repair with SEUS or PC compagnon.
If they won't work you can try wotanserver (it's a service where you have to register and pay for several things, but flashing stock SE firmware is free).
Instructions for all these programs are in the forums.
Unfortunately you will loose all your data and settings, but don't panic....stuff stored on your SD will remain in tact.
Good luck, don't worry to much, a bootloop doesn't have to result in a brick
Whoops, I read 'unlocked'

Thanks a lot for the super response. I'm a stupid not installing cwm recovery before and not having to reflash my rom now, it's a pitty that I'll loose my data, o had some important stuff, but no matter it's like a lesson to backup all . I freaked out when I saw the bootloop, thanks for calming me down
no prob...you're welcome!
Everyone in these forums has been where you are now, i've had many bootloops and even more freak outs

Use Flashtool to flash back to stock. Recovery is in the system, so if you wiped it, you won't be able to access recovery. Going back to stock, then back to whatever rom you were on is pretty much your only option.
And by only option, I mean the going back to stock. You can use Wotan Server or whatever other method there is.
yes i can get in recovery
and ill try that ----------------^

Recovery isn't in the system partition unless you're using the locked bootloader version. His is part of the kernel.
If you completely wiped system though you'll either need to restore a nandroid, or flash a new system.

Hi everyone!
A friend of mine tried to flash/destroy his n7100 (i don't know why!) so He gave it to me to "play" and try to recover it.
I think that He tried to flash a 4.4.2 stock rom taken somewhere, so I have the lastest bootloader
I recovered it with KIES (that installed android 4.3) and the phone (now) boot completely and works at 100%!
BUT
sometimes when I detach it from power cord it immediatelly reboot and remain stuck at the "samsung galaxy note n7100" screen and bootloops.
If I reattach the power cord at the next poweroff/poweron cycle the phone start correctly and works 100%!!
Actually I'm on a full stock with root and TWRP installed, but this reboots happens also on full stock
It's really strange and I don't know how to get rid of this!
Actually the custom flash counter report 9 and the knox warranty void is at 1.
Someone has any idea of to get rid of theese strange reboots?

The actual bootloader is installed by kies... So which bootloader I have to install?
The only one that odin let me flash without problem is the one with 4.4.2 android from
N7100XXUEMK9_N7100ITVEMK2_N7100XXUEMJ9
every other bootloader I tried give me a flash error and the screen show "incompatible version".
This will solve also the reboot part?

Hello,
I have the same issues but I fear in my case these are early symptoms of a EEMC brick bug :crying:
I am on TWRP with Omega v24 and latest bootloader (i know because I have wifi, otherwise I would't have)
I got inconsistencies in the file system and today I had a UID mismatch message error at boot
I would like to format all the partitions (data/system/ecc) and flash a Rom via Odin just be sure...
Why are you sure that this rom should avoid reboot errors? Is there anyway to install this ROM or any other ROM via Odin so I can format all the partitions just to be sure?
Thanks!

You can flash with odin and repartition with your pit (or another from xda but be careful with that) your same stock and then flash the indicated rom so you have a clean installation

Do you have cwm? Then you can full wipe, then again you can format each partition separately, then go to android development thread, rom repository and download and flash stock rom, I suggested that specific rom because without the air command mod it's almost stock, without the Damned Knox.

What is your recovery?
You can not come in?
If so, make a backup of what is without creating MD5 checksums then upload the rom again and restore only the data.

Here is my problem
My friend gave me his note 2 to fix WiFi it was already rooted
I downloaded slimkat and flashed it it worked good
And WiFi worked but he wanted a touchwiz look
So I downloaded jellykat ROM but didn't read the instructions and flashed with cwm
Got into bootloop then I flashed twrp recovery using Odin and reflashed the ROM but I got the fix root error and I swiped to fix
Then also bootloop ..I downloaded Dr.ketan stock ROM
And flashed philz recovery through twrp recovery and then flashed ROM also backed up efs
The phone also didn't boot stuck at bootscreen
Then I got frustrated and didn't know what to do I flashed the nd3 bl through Odin
And rebooted but nothing changed ..I read in Dr.ketan thread about flashing stock recovery and the bl
So I did all through odin and I rebooted but I had no recovery I tried flashing both twrp and cwm through Odin but also nothing
Now I have no recovery but I have download mode
I can Odin flash stock but I can't loose the data inside I really need the data
i think the problem is with the boot loader since i flashed nd3 bootloader and when device booted it didnt finish
so any ideas???
Why not any 4.4.2 stock firmware through Odin? Seems to be the easiest way to get the device started again.

Download 4.4.2 stock firmware from sammobile and flash with Odin.

Look, flashing with Odin is like getting an update by Samsung. Users would turn crazy if such an update would wipe their data.
Firmware is always installed in system partition and never somewhere out.
Besides: Photos and vids are mostly saved on external SD. Where are yours?

Any other suggestions before I flash 4.4.2 with Odin (currently 4.1.2) ?
Hi all !
First sorry for my poor english, this isn't my mother language.
Unfortunately, I accidentaly flash a recovery.img in the boot partition instead of recovery partition and now my phone doesn't boot anymore. It vibrate once but the screen keep black.
I can get into fastboot mode and adb recognize my phone.
So is it possible to simply flash a boot.img to get it working ? Where can I found this boot.img ?
It's a D5503, rooted but no custom recovery yet. (I was on it)
The recovery I was trying to flash was Z1c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-114_v01.img from http://doomlord.xperia-files.com/files/Z1c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-114_v01.img
I used EasyRootTool v12.2.zip to root my device.
Any help will be appreciated and I thank you in advance
The process you did was correct. On Xperia phones there is no recovery partition, you flash a custom kernel on boot partition with recovery built in. Probably your bootloader is locked. In that case the phone does not allow custom kernels and therefore does not boot. Can you get into flashmode (not fastboot)?
Edit: To clarify for other readers; there is indeed a way to use recovery without using a custom kernel. See for example dualrecovery by [NUT]

Dude your phone isn't bricked, stop being a drama queen. I'll help you if you change your topic to say something other than "bricked".
zxz0O0 : yes but the LED doesn't stay green. So I don't know if the flash mode works great..
Rekoil : done
EDIT:
Ok so I unlocked my bootloader with the sony tool and now my phone almost boot Almost because in fact it vibrates once and I can see the sony logo but then the screen turn off and it boots again (bootloop).
Besides that, I have access to my custom Recovery (CWM).
So now, how can I get rid of the bootloop after unlocking the bootloader ? Thank's
Why did you unlock bootloader? Did you take a TA backup?
The LED never stays green in flashmode so not sure what you are expecting. To solve bootloop, try flashing stock firmware again. Maybe you have to wipe data.

Hi
I unlock the bootloader because you said - and I understood so - that it was the problem. No, I didn't make a TA bkp.
Ok for the flashmode, I thought that it was like the fastboot mode, where the LED stays blue. I'll try flashing the stock firmware. Thank's for your help. I'll let you know if it worked.

Not making a TA backup isn't really that big of a deal, it disables some features sure, but I doubt you'll actually notice them much. Now, were you running a 4.3 or 4.4-based firmware prior to flashing the boot.img? Because the boot.img contained a 4.3 kernel which will not boot 4.4 so I'm leaning towards you having a 4.4-based fw installed.
Since you can get to recovery, flash one of these in recovery, if you don't know which base your system is then try them one at a time, recovery will still function if the OS does not boot.
.108-base (latest base, 4.4.4)
.757-base (4.4.2 iirc)
Note that by unlocking bootloader you've also wiped your /data and /data/media (internal storage) partitions.

Hello,

did you restore the Nandroid ? factory reset does not wipe the sdcard

i flashed the boot.emmc.win then factory reset then restored the nandroid backup. everything seemed fine but when it rebooted it was just stuck on "google"... i left it for awhile but nothing. went back into twrp and meant to wipe system too, figured it might help, hit interanl storage by accident...
thank u again for responding

why are you flashing a boot.ing ? All I said was restore the nandroid.
You have to start over now ... download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706441 and put it on your ext_sdcard and flash it

You just said in your first post that you weren't S-Off. Anyway, I suggest finding an RUU for your correct M8 variant and flashing it via fastboot or the external sdcard method. There is a high chance that the internal sdcard will be wiped so be warned.
