Hi guys,
I'm having a really frustrating problem with my Note 2. I've been using the Perseus Kernel for a few days now and everything's been fine. I decided to flash the Omega rom yesterday and since then my phone won't wake from lock. I can hit the lock button and sometimes if I press it again straight after the screen will come back on but leave it for a few more seconds and I'll have to battery pull to get it back on.
I've now tried restoring from nandroid back up, flashed kernel back to stock, flashed wanamlite rom, flashed perseus back on, flashed everything back to stock and several combinations of the above... Nothing's worked, I still get the same issue. Struggling on what to do next, only idea at the moment is to go back to stock everything, unroot and start from scratch. The device is only a few days old as I had some issues with my previous Note 2 with the perseus kernel so I got it exchanged.
Any ideas guys? Help will be greatly appreciated! Really want to get this sorted before my beautiful Note 2 goes up the wall
BTW my provider is O2 UK
Not even a single suggestion? Damn.
Tried unrooting it and reverting to stock everything. No joy. Re-rooted and reflashed different combinations of perseus kernel and stock rom, wanam and omega, still nothing. Still won't unlock after being locked...
Any suggestion is more than welcome at this point!

If you are on stock rom now reflash the stock kernel with Odin and use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter. After that reflash the stock rom again and after the flash and first boot do a datafactory reset and the status should say normal. If the problem of not waking up persists take the device to a service center or the shop where you bought it from and have it fixed or replaced.

Hi All,
I am not sure if this is a hardware issue that I am facing or what.
Basically I was running Linaro CM11 which was working fine, but I got a goo.im that a update was available. So I downloaded and flashed this.
Everything seemed fine except after 5 minutes the phone did a reboot, it started up fine and same thing kept happening. So I flashed back to the previous version but the problem persisted.
So I downloaded a stock N7100 UK vodafone rom, flashed this but while doing so it seems the usb cable I was usb wasn't 100% and it crashed mid flash.
I used a JTAG to get the phone back into download mode and using a new cable re flashed the above stock rom. since the any stock ROM i flash goes into deep sleep and usually WONT wake up.
So i decided to re flash CM10 stable, which does not suffer the deep sleep but does suffer with reboots every few minutes so tried CM11, also tried a few other ROMS and im suffering either deep sleep or a reboot.
What is wrong with my phone, second to this I cannot turn on bluetooth if I try to on stock or custom the phone either just toggles straight back off or freezes completely and restarts itself or stays like that just hanging.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just to add to this post, iv tried Sammy 4.3, 4.1.2 & 4.0.1 I think on the last one all do more or less the same except they all crash loads on first boot. Some are unusable. Iv also tried Irish rom, France, Spain.
Same thing happens on all soon as the screen goes off it is almost impossible to get the phone to wake up. Also tried other kernels again with the same result or worse the room packs in.
Help :crying:
Hi...I've searched everywhere and I haven't seen anything close to my issue. But if there is and I missed it I apologize in advance and I appreciate any help/advice.
Well I rooted my phone from 4.3 with no issues. I used safe root so it wouldnt trip knox. I flashed sokp's 4.4.2 ROM with the proper gapps and agni kernel. My issue started after I tried updating my camera with photosphere 4.3. I went to use the 3d feature and it shut my phone off and started to loop. Also flashed the camera fix zip but that didn't help either. I got into recovery using cwm and wiped everything from the cache to data, almost to the point of no service. So i flashed beanstalk 4.3 rom hoping it would solve problem but it didn't. I even did a factory reset (didnt work) and found a rooted stock ROM I flashed thru Odin then back to beanstalk, all to no avail. Now I have to keep my phone plugged into a power source in order for my phone load past "sgn2" screen. And if I unplug it then it resets phone and loops. I also noticed that with beanstalk I have no kernel(well it reads unavailable). I was thinking that maybe after the camera failed that some data or something maybe corrupted. Is there a way to wipe everything to the beginning, like fresh from at&t, so It will stop looping and I don't have to keep my phone plugged into the wall?
Also with mean bean I can uplug my phone for a few min before it resets but if I try to open any apps it resets. It seems as though my phone isn't getting enough power.
Again all help is greatly appreciated
Hey. Thought I should flash cyanogenmod 11 into my mom's phone. When I did it, realized that Ace couldn't connect to carrier for some reason. Anyways I decided to get back to stock GB. I've already tried to flash maybe four stock builds of GB and JB (they were all from "SamMobile") through Odin, but none of them really boot up, I get stuck at Samsung logo.
Recovery won't work, even if I flash a new one through odin ( f.e. this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532591 )
Download mode does work.
I saw there was this 3-part GB installation file from a russian guy, which I should have used, but it's already deleted in "Yandex". I live in Lithuania, so I'm supposed to use SEB version of firmware. I was wondering could someone reupload it ?
I tried to fix Ace through Kies, but it says that GT-I8160 recovery isn't available for some reason...
Any answers greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
After flashing the sammobile rom with odin, if it doesn't boot, go to recovery (the original one coming with the original rom), and do a factory reset/wipe data. This helped for me.
The problem is that even if I try to enter recovery (power + vol up + home), it stays stuck at samsung logo
You can try to insist by continuing pressing the 3 buttons for recovery even if the phone reboot. If you're stuck in a boot loop, you can also try to remove the battery to switch it off and switch it on again by pressing the 3 buttons.
For me the odin flash of JB rom + recovery clean up always solved the problem. I don't know any other way.

Do the official ROMs (tar.md5) come with official recovery, or do I have to flash one seperately ?
The official ROM include an official recovery, you don't need to flash another one.
i too needed to go back to the stock from from cm11, because i cannot get wi-fi direct to work.
i flashed an xxmf1 rom, but when the phone rebooted, a message said samsung set up wizard has stopped, and i cannot get past it. this is even after doing a factory reset.
i went back to cm 11, and flashed the stock rom again. this time, the rom flashes in odin, but takes long to go from reset to pass, and windows now says hardware id is missing.
the phone goes black after the samsung logo, and cwm is still installed.
any help would be appreciated.
edit: fixed by flashing the three-part gb rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141930
Turns out I disconnected my Ace 2 too early (dammit). As soon as I saw "RESET" in odin, I thought it has finished flashing and I disconnected it before it goes into recovery and flashes everything. Never thought I could be that stupid.
Thanks for replies tho :good::good::good:
Today I received my GT-N7105 back from the repairers after having the screen replaced, or maybe the whole phone replaced as for some reason my phone was un-rooted! God knows why they would have to do that to replace the screen.
So I've just rooted again and installed ROM Manager and attempted to flash CWM recovery, according to the app it went fine, but when trying to boot to recovery using the ROM Manager app and the volume up + home + power method I'm met with the stock recovery.
I have tried using Odin to install CWM recovery but the device freezes on the boot screen every time I try, and freezes there when I take the battery out and attempt to boot the phone again. So I have to root again just to get the device to turn on.
Its been years since I flashed a custom recovery so tried following a couple guides, but no luck.
I want to flash CyanogenMod to the device but cant do this without CWM (I've never attempted to use TWRP, better the devil you know!)
I have noticed Knox has appeared on my device, but I have not activated it as I hear this causes issues with rooting, and the reason I think this is a different device altogether is the flash counter was at 0 when first rooted this one, but I must have pushed this p to at least 15 before it went in for the repair.
Am I missing something? Please don't make me have to use the bloated to the heavens stock Android!
Thanks in advance and will be thanking any help.
I did a search and maybe not correctly but I did not find my particular problem.
So I have stock root66 rom flashed with odin 3.11 on my phone goes into boot loop.
I flashed twrp 3.1.1-0 with odin and I can go into recovery but as soon as I select any rom (OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170811-1427-d2tmo) it starts to do something and just reboots the phone and back into the boot loop. I reboots to fast for me to even figure out what it says on the phone.
Has anyone else experienced this? Battery is charged to 80%+
edit: tried CWM same symptoms reboots right away. Only thing I can flash with is odin otherwise with any recovery reboots right away. I was able to flash a modem with twrp and that works but no roms work.
update 2: I finally was able to get root66 installed. Gets to the set up part. Once I finish the setup the phone turned off on its own. It never turns on on its own so leads me to believe the power button isnot stuck but why does it turn off on its own? I turned back on and goes into bootloop.
The power button may be stuck in the "pressed" position.
Have you tried TWRP 2.87? You're sure you are flashing the correct TWRP version for the phone?

Thanks for the reply. I have tried 6.0.1.2_CWM_Touch-recovery-image & twrp-3.0.2-0-d2tmo.img but not 2.87.
However, as I stated above I was able to flash a modem but just not flash any roms which is weird.
If the power button pressed and the phone reboots when i pull the battery and put back in wouldn't the phone turn back on? I'm just finding it odd the phone keeps rebooting but when I pull the battery and put back in it doesnt turn on automatically.
update: So 2.8.6 twrp worked which is odd installing as we speak phone has not rebooted yet so lets see how it does once rom is flashed. I did odin root66 and after that installed it kept rebooting so fingers crossed this works. Using OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170811-1427-d2tmo hopefully this works
so after the flash seems to just back to the bootloop. I'm still not convinced my power button is stuck since it doesnt auto turn on and during the whole process of flashing it didnt reboot on its own only after the flash. Any ideas?
Literally gets to the samsung galaxy siii logo and reboots right away.
Try flashing the latest stock ROM, not a rooted stock ROM.

same bootloop. Gets to the tmobile animation and then reboots.
It's possible that the memory chip is damaged. You could take it to a repair shop and have it flashed via jtag.
