[Q] Stuck at google logo WHILE USING

Well, something strange happened and i have no idea what the prob is
yesterday i installed a new kernel for my gnex and made a backup (using CWM) before flashing. Today i decided to go back to the previous kernel so i just went to recovery and restored from the backup. It installed successfully and then i rebooted my phone twice just to be sure everything was working and it was untill 4-5 hours later, I was playing a game (temple run) when suddenly the phone turned off and restarted by itself, i though maybe the game crashed and its restarting but i kept waiting for an hour but the phone was just stuck at the google logo. After waiting, i decided to go to recovery and flash a new kernal or restore but when i went to the bootloader and selected recovery, the phone didnt go into recovery but its stuck in google loop again. so somehow i think the recovery has been deleted of something like that because it gets stuck in loop if i go to recovery :/
i am on 4.0.3 codenamed android rom
Thanks
EDIT: I have already tried removing the battery for some time but still i am not able to enter recovery. i thought recovery was to prevent such things :$

You should probably use search next time. It's happened to quite a few people (myself included).
Use fastboot/ODIN to flash stock rom again.

Thanks but i wont be able to recover my data using this right?:/

No I don't think so, it sucks. I thought they had fixed this bug in 4.0.3 though which is strange. I lost my data twice within a month because of this, when I was on 4.0.2 (or maybe 4.01). Haven't had it since I rooted and updated.

Try flashing the recovery again. Maybe it will work.

Use the Odin files for 4.0.4. Why are you looking for 4.0.3?

well i am on codenamed android based on 4.0.3 so i was looking for 4.0.3 files for ODIN. this will flash my firmware to stock 4.0.4 right?
And do you know of ANY WAY i can fix my phone so that i can recover my data? I have tried everything but to no avail. i have tried flashing recovery, booting recovery (not flashing) using different usb ports and cables, flashing boot.img from codename android and everything i read online :/

What happens when you boot CWM?
In order to recover anything, you need to be booted either into Android or CWM.
Maybe try using the "no-wipe" odin files, which may allow you to either boot into the ROM or allow you to boot CWM, and then you can retrieve your data. However, if this does work, I would recommend you wipe right after you retrieve your data, then restore your files, as you may have issues later on running with that data on your device.

thanks for your quick reply mate
I am not able to boot into recovery. When i select enter recovery from bootloader then it just loops on the google logo. When i try to reinstall cwm then it fails everytime with the error i mentioned above
ohh and btw, sometimes when the cwm installation fails then the bootloader gets stuck and the screen becomes kind of blurry and i have to take out the battery...... is that normal?
And i'll first try the no wipe files (from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586807&highlight=odin) and see if that works

well lets hope for the best
And i was on codenamed 4.0.3 so if i use the "no-wipe" files for 4.0.4 it should not cause anymore problems right?
I'll first use ODIN with no wipe files and if that doesnt work then i guess i'll say bye bye to my data and do a full wipe.
Thanks for you help mate and i will reply with the result in an hour or so (dinner time now )
Thanks again
EDIT:
so i ran ODIN but now its stuck. the start button has been greyed out with the following message

It may not be bricked. Not being able to get into the bootloader can happen when you flash via odin.
Can you not boot into download mode (hold volume down and then press and hold power)? If you can, then you can still flash via odin.
I haven't really used odin too much, so I won't be able to help you troubleshoot too much (maybe ask in Chainfire's thread), but: if you can boot into download mode, do it, and re-follow the instructions in this post to-the-letter. Use the full odin image, not the no-wipe one.

Take a slow deep breath and exhale. Take out the battery. Wait for a while. Put the battery back in.
Hold down the volume down button (not the volume up) and then press and hold power for 15 secs. See if that gets you into download mode. Even if nothing shows up on the screen, try following the steps in the odin thread.
You did make sure only the checkmarks that needed to be there were there in odin, correct?

Has my phone bitten the dust?

Really hope somebody can help.
I have had a galaxy note 2 for about 6 months on Vodafone UK N7100.
Today while i was at work i felt something hot in my pocket, my phone was very hot (i was not doing anything with it) The phone was stuck on the Samsung boot screen.
After a few minutes of looking at this i realised it was stuck and removed the battery. SInce then i have been unable to get past the boot screen, i can't get into download mode or reboot mode. The only things to note. When i turn my phone on a red light flashes. When i plug my charger in the charge icon appears on screen but it does not charge.
Really hoping somebody can help.
I had rooted my phone if that helps (it did not cause this problem and has been functioning rooted for months)
Update
Just managed to get to a screen which warned me about installing custom software and did i want to continue. I said yes and it is now downloading something

How did you get to that screen?

this would be your last hope http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32273406&postcount=5 follow the guide properly marked in red and remember to tick re partition in odin, if this doesnt work then your phone has been affected by sds due to 4.1.1 rom so u need to take it to service for motherboard replacement which is borne by samsung so no worries, and remember never to use a 4.1.1 rom in note 2 get the 4.1.2 rom or rather they will install that only this time and in future just go through dr.ketan thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 here it will guide you perfect instead following some untidy guides

Thanks for the advice i am downloading the file now.
I did not manage to install the rom i suggested i was using so i don't think that could have been the issue. My phone just seemed to get hot then stop working, i hope as you suggested it is not my motherboard. Did you say that i should still be covered by the warrenty even though i had rooted my device?

well your reply is quite confusing
1.did you manage to flash the rom with pit in odin. was it successful or you get any errors
2.does your phone start now
3.if not then your phone has died and it needs to be taken to service guys ,but just check what the status of your phone in download mode is it official or custom . if its official then no worries just go ahead and take it to service guys and tell them abt your issue that the phone stopped working while in pocket dont info them that you rooted it ever just make them blv that it was a sds caused by 4.1.1 rom so they replace it free.
i mean your motherboard

Sorry if i am confusing matters.
I did not manage to flash anything it was just coming up with failed no PIT partition.
Current binary samsung official
My system status is custom
Are these ok to return my phone with?
I decided to take the advice offered and download the recovery but got confused.
Do i need all of the files from that link or just 1?
I downloaded the first one N7100XXDMB2_Factory
It contained
boot
cache
hidden
modem.bin
recovery
sboot.bin
system
tz
None of these are the md5 format
i am now thinking i should have downloaded XXDLJ2_OXA_Factory
Is that correct or was i right with the first file. If i was right downloading the first file then where do i get the md5 files required for odin to do my factory restore.
Know these are very noobish questions just doint want to do anything wrong

In answers to your questions....
1) Did i manage to flash the rom with it in odin
No
I got confused which files i should be using and did not want to do anything without being sure
2) My phone does not start
3) When i am in download mode my phone shows

If your phone doesn't have a partition map, then no, you can't.
You can try, as a last resort, using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43760271&postcount=22
I had a similar problem not too long ago (although it started with all apps crashing and then stuck at bootscreen) and managed to fix my phone.

EFS is a part of the system that stores your serial number, IMEI and everything related to your phone specifically. You are generally able to back it up using a custom recovery or using software on your PC while the phone is rooted and booted on the android OS. Since you cannot boot into recovery and also can't boot into android itself, I don't think you would be able to back it up.
If you ever installed a custom rom with AROMA, there is a chance you have it backed up already. But if you don't explicitly remember...

Hi, I had a similar problem a day ago, I corupted CWM and couldn't boot into android, When i started my phone a samsung logo appeared and then black screen, I could access download mode ( Power button, Volume - and home button ) So all you do after you enter download mode is download Odin multi downloader, and a flashable ClockworkMOD recovery, ( PM me if you want links ) and flash it into the phone, after that just reboot the phone and you will be just fine.
Press the Thanks button if i helped

I did this but, still not succeeded. Do you suggest to try to download the stock ROM instead of the CWM?
I'm trying to download the CWM not the stock ROM.
Thank you guys.

Hey,
First put your phone into download mode and plug it in to your PC and make sure Odin recognizes it, then add Ancora.ops in the OPS window and the recovery.tar.md5 in the One package window. Also make sure that One package , Auto reboot and Protect OPS are checked, you should uncheck reset time because i've hear that it is causing some problems. Then just click the " Start " button and sit back, you phone will be back on in few minutes.
Just a question : Did you have any android installed when you corrupted the recovery? If yes, after you flashed the recovery the phone will reboot and will boot into android, if not then just flash the rom file if you already have one in your sdcard/internal storage.
Your phone is soft-bricked, don't worry, it will be back and running again :laugh:
I just corrupted my recovery on my phone on purpose to try if the cwm recovery works. And yes, it worked, so it should work on your phone too.
Good luck flashing your recovery, Please answer back because I want to know if this method worked.
Here are the files, just extract the rar file

Finally i have KitKat!!
Finally Solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After long days and hundred tries, it works finally. The story is as below:
1- I failed to download the CWM 6.0.4.5 directly in this state using ODIN,
2- I downloaded the stock (Yes old 2.3.6 ginger bread ROM) using ODIN. However this version keep rebooting and never completed the start up.
3- With ROM installed now (even it's not booting), i tried to download older version of CWM using ODIN (CWM 5.0.4). It was successful!!
4- I tried to do the restore for my old system, but it failed as i did backup with newer version.
5- I flashed Monster ROM (4.2.2), it works wonderful.
6- I downloaded the CWM 6.0.4.5 finally using ODIN.
7- Now i'm using 4.4.2 on my mobile finally.
Advice: Never do a flashing to your mobile when you are not fully concentrating what you are doing. Also, make sure to download the right tool and ROM for your device.
Thank you for everyone who tried to help me.

Use Odin 3.07. Run it as Admin if using Windows. Download the NB4 Firmware to your desktop. Inside the .zip will be a "M919UVUFNB4 HOME.tar.md5" file. Extract it to your desktop.
Remove the battery from the phone for about a minute. Put the battery back into your phone and hold down the Vol DOWN + Home + Power buttons until you get to the Download mode. Press Vol UP to enter it. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and wait for Odin to show it in the COM: section. UNcheck Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. Click on the PDA tab and load up the "M919UVUFNB4 HOME.tar.md5" file on your desktop and wait for it to verify md5 (it will freeze for a little bit). Then click Start and see what happens. If it succeeds and says PASS, unplug the phone and hold down the power button until the device turns off and reboots itself. It will be 100% stock once you let it do it's thing and prepare the files.

The kernel not seandroid enforcing message is 100% normal after rooting your phone. That shouldn't have caused you any problems. Try restoring your phone back to stock firmware from above and see if that works. Then proceed to rooting the device again.

Make sure you restore to stock firmware and let the phone boot up at least once before you proceed to root it. Do NOT root it directly after flashing the stock firmware in Odin. If your phone hangs after the seandroid message, pull out the battery and put it back in, and hold Vol UP + Home + Power to boot into the stock recovery and select wipe data/factory reset and then reboot device.

Sweet! You can use CF Auto Root from here
http://download.chainfire.eu/328/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.zip
Just load it into the PDA slot and let it do it's magic. Make sure to do the same exact thing and UNcheck auto reboot and f. reset time and manually reboot the phone by holding the power button down.
Glad you got it working.

Bro ask all the questions you want. This is a community to help other people. The first thing you should do is install a custom recovery such as TWRP or PhilZ Touch Recovery. I prefer TWRP since it gives less installation errors for some ROMs. Once you install TWRP make a nandroid of the stock firmware and wipe everything. System/Data/Cache/Dalvik-Cache etc. and then install Wicked.
