[HELP] Can't boot to recovery - Stuck from first Boot Screen - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I don't really know what happened to my Note 2. I'm just browsing photos then suddenly it froze and restarted but it is stuck at the FIRST boot screen:
Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-7100.
There's 2 boot screen right?
1.) The white text on black background, 'Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-7100"
2.) Then the animated Samsung logo.
I'm stuck at the first one.
I tried to access its recovery (press and hold - volume up button, home button, power button). It just boot again to screen 1.
I can only access, Odin mode ( press and hold - volume down button, home button, power button).
I tried to flash it using Odin with official samsung rom, but no good. it still boot and stuck at the first boot screen.
What should I do to have a recovery mode? I don't mind if it's official samsung or a custom one. :crying:
UPDATE:
After reading some threads and searching for the cause of the problem, well, that thing, i must say that "Reboot of Death" LOL! happened under normal use, stock, unrooted Note2s.
Some threads with the same problem.

Try to closely read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956.
Then try to use Note 2 Toolkit.

Thanks, Tried Stock Recovery... same result.

Go to download mode and flashed CWM first. After flashing CWM wipe dalvik, cache partition & then data reset. U will loose downloaded apps or sms & call logs.
Later flash a new firmware thru pc odin & the phone will start perfectly. Give a try. Hope it works for u. Its a risk but give a try.

Your method woked.

No need to send it for warranty. If your warranty is not expiring now then continue using it. I dont think it is a serious problem.

Thanks a ton ! Your method worked like a charm... Was so scared that I might have bricked my phone... Successfully flashed CWM and then decided that I would never change out from CWM.
I flashed CWM and Wiped cache and then did a restore from a Nandroid Backup and .... phew.... the GN2 is back rocking !!!!:good::good::good::good:

Iv been having similar issue.. I always use odin mobile for flashing zip files or updates kernels etc. Under rom manager I can flash latest cwm recovery but then when I push power button and select reboot into recovery the phone reboots but gets stuck in a bootloop I can then boot into download mode using 3 button combo but thats all I can do. I have to reflash cf_root file which solves the problem and brings the phone back to life.. can anyone shed some light on this issue. Im paranoind about trying to boot into recovery incase it keeps happening as I dont want to have to keep reflashing. This is my current set-up

i have the same problem, do you mind please provide the solution step by step? i'm very fresh in this thing.. thanks!! :crying:

I just had this issue an hour ago. The phone, however, has been acting up for the past month. Random freeze in normal use and esp when browsing the web. I always have to hard reset the phone and it has been working until an hour ago. It was a freeze so i thought oh this BS again, and hard reset the phone. Then, the phone would be only stuck in the white "Samsung" screen... My first priority is keep all the data, so I was wondering after flashing the CWM and wipe the cach and dalvik. Is it necessary to wipe data for this to work? I do not want to lose all the data. The only thing I ask for is to get into system somehow, get all the data i need onto the SD card, and i can do whatever to my phone afterwards...
I think i'm ****ed. In odin it says no PIT partition. I found a lot of others having this issue, and Doctor says that this is called SDS (sudden death syndrome) ... It is a bad day and **** my life.

same but bigger problem ..
Hello.. I have the exact same problem but what happened with my GALAXY NOTE 2 GT-N7100 that I was charging it while suddenly a some writings in french appeared on screen and I could only click on something was written down the screen and I guess it meant to reboot the phone, I unplugged it and pressed that thing down the screen and my phone automatically restarted and froze at the 1st logo screen ( the one with black background and white writings ) .. I plugged it to odin but every time I try 2 flash a custom firmware it fails and says ( re-partition failed ) in odin... Itook it to many ppl and no one could fix it, they told me that it's ( sudden death ) but I dont think so because I think that sudden death happens automatically and the phone doesn't start at all ( mine happened after clicking on that french thing and it's stuck on 1st logo screen ) and they told me that the boot files are damaged and I the only solution is to change the mother board which will cost me about (370 $ here in Syria ).. and I can't access recovery mode to wipe dalvik and cache.. can anyone help me please ? And I couldn't understand maheshhtc way to fix this.. please help me asap...

Please help me too... I'm sorry but trying to flash CWM, I'm getting a No PIT error.... and then it fails right there

guys im trying to install CWM through ODIN, but its not working.
it says setupconnection, and after a while it shows FAILED.
im having same problem, and I know i can solve it by flashing custom recovery, but just cant do it.
any help?

[Q] Bricked Samsung Galaxy W (GT-i8150)

I soft-bricked my galaxy and there's no way to fix it, help! Okay, this is a what happened, I installed a custom ROM which worked out perfectly well until one day all applications started force closing for apparently no reason so I reboot and got stuck in a boot loop. I can only access download mode, recovery is out of the question. I tried to flash back to stock with Odin and it "passed" but the screen was just blank. So, I removed the USB cable hoping it will work and it got stuck in another boot loop. I tried everything that I could have think of but nothing works. It seems that I'm not the only one and is common for Galaxy W devices. Please help!
Also, in the worst case how do I send it back to Samsung? I mean, I know how to but will they fix it?

did you full wipe before flashing stock rom?
what stock gaming rom, it is full recovery?
you may can try:
- flashing again cwm using odin,
- if succesfull, boot to cwm, format data and cache, except system
- try reboot normally.
- if failed, format everything, except your sdcard,
- flashing stock rom using odin, (better use stock rom provided for your country), use original stock rom, not modified rom ! with size more than 350mb, its contain recovery, baseand and everything you need. of course your cwm will be replaced after. you can flash again cwm after your phone boot normally.
good luck.

In reverting back to GB 2.3.6 from CM9, you should do format /system to be able to flash successfully. Try it.

Hi! yesterday I tried to get cyanogenmod to my Samsung galaxy W. Firstly I used this tutorial to root my phone View attachment 1899558

I can access the clockworkmod recovery.
I have tried to ''wipe the cache partition'', ''wipe data/factory reset'' and wipe ''dalvik cache'' but it doesn't seem to work.
What should I do, I don't want cyangenmod after this haha I just want to know if there is a way to get the phone working.
Any answers would be appreciated

Some wrong sequence there :
Forgets the steps as per attachment.
In assumption the CM9 ROM.zip is in your SD Card...
Boot to CWM
Locate the CM9 ROM using and remember the location i.e. External SD etc
Now under Advance...Format all folders clean (not the folder containing the CM9 ROM)
Wipe / Format / Cache etc = the usual
Wipe Dalvik
Fix Permission
Flash the CM9 then GAPPS
Reboot...:good:
No need to back-up once you have used CM9...you will never go back to GB
If you insist on back-up just move all your treasures in your PC 1st, best to format the SD Card then move the ROM.zip to it

Hey, I just installed the T889UVALL4 update, which fixes the Exynos exploit. I had my phone rooted before the update but then I had to UNroot it to even install or to see the update. So I wanted to know if I can still root with the same method as I did before using Odin and install CWM recovery with out bricking my device.
Unless there's a new root.

You Should Download and Flash A Custom Recovery For Your Note 2, Like CWM Or TWRP Through Odin. Then You Should Be Able To Flash A Newer Radio Or ROM.

Probably Wasn't Properly Connecting To Kies. Glad It's Ok Now.
I'm sure this is a stupid question, but why can't I roam over to ATT? I have a Tmo value plan (post-paid unlimited) and when I'm in my companies datacenter, my Tmo connection is very poor- to the point where I miss calls and texts sometimes don't come through. I try manually choosing ATT from the provider list but it reports "not registered".
Am I doing something wrong? I should be able to roam over to ATT, right??

Quasi-bricked GN2 ... help please.
Hello -
I'm rooted and I was trying to install a different system font using Font Installer * Root * .
I followed the apps instructions and wound up with a bunch of Korean instead of where I thought the new font should be.
I then tried to re-boot and got stuck at the Samsung screen.
I have since tried to wipe / factory reset and flash the stock rom to no avail.
I have a Nandroid backup I created with Galaxy Note 2 Tool Kit but I don't know hot to re-install it.
Everything stops at the Samsung screen.
Help!
Thanks.
UPDATE: It's official -- I'm bricked. After hours of searching these fora it appears I need a Samsung signed stock 4.1.2 rom as I'm getting the "E:Signature verification failed" error and teshxx's ROM doesn't appear to be signed (is that correct?)
I'm stuck with the stock recovery and I really can't see any way out.
HELP please!

UPDATE: It's official -- I'm bricked. After hours of searching these fora it appears I need a Samsung signed stock 4.1.2 rom as I'm getting the "E:Signature verification failed" error and teshxx's ROM doesn't appear to be signed (is that correct?)
I'm stuck with the stock recovery and I really can't see any way out.
HELP please!

Question
If I have a tmobile note2 unlocked to use on AT&T and want to root and install Roms will it break the unlock? Where I have to have it unlocked again? I have searched everywhere and can't seem to find an answer except on really old phones.

[GUIDE]Switch between any roms without flashing stock ....

Well I saw many people complaining that there sgy entered a bootloop after flashing a custom rom
Most of the time this is mainly because u have flashed a rom with different kernal over an existing custom rom .. this results in boot loops. To avoid this some instructions ask u to flash stockrom via Odin first... but then AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT
So here is a procedure to install roms like that vithout having to flash stock via odin
Remove and insert battery
Boot to recovery (volume up+power+home)
Clear data and cash in stock recovery
Flash cwm
In cwm go to mounts and storage
There format system and cash and data (do not format SD)
Go back and clear data and cash in cwm (just in case)
Go to mounts and storage and mount SD, system, cash and data
Now go back and choose install zip from SD
Choose roms zip file and install it
Have patience it might take 5-6 mins or even more
If u follow this method of formatting system etc u can flash any rom no matter wat from u r currently using (no need to flash stock before flashing another from  )
That's it
Thank if I helped

Yeah I am sure bricked my phone while derping around with Hyperion
Then searched SD but there no Hyperion7.zip
So flashed jellyblast
then saw it was right there in SD
so again went to recovery and flashed Hyperion just clearing data and cash
Got bricked again
Realized different kernels so have to flash stock rom
But I was in bed while doing this and was not in mood to do all that
So I just tried the above procedure cause I thaught formatting all that would probabally erase kernal too
it worked
Re: Switch between any roms without having to flash stock ....
Well it worked not only for me see this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37238321
Re: Switch between any roms without having to flash stock ....
Oh another thing
Data and cash will automatically get unmounted once upon format them
Up have to take care to mount them again may be that's y it didn't work for u
In my procedure I have asked to mount them after formatting... to avoid just this

Re: Switch between any roms without having to flash stock ....
I don't have a PC for 6 month, i always do like this. During these time my device got bricked two times only and flashed stock ROM via odin with my friend's pc .this happened while playing with different kernels. And today also i changed from jb to hyperion...no problem.
and in between formating we have to mount every thing.
PRESS THAT THANKS BUTTON IF YOU THINK IT IS HELPFUL....
Yes, it really worked.
I havent tried switching from the other kernels but so far I tried it on savie's, hells' and kuro's kernel.
Works no issues m using this for a lot of time now

This is very interesting...I have just flashed back to stock from Hyperion 7 (my first successful Odin flash) and this would be a useful time and effort saver for future ROM changes.
Will test next flash and let you know how I get on

That is the usual method
It won't work if two roms have different kernels
That's y some devs ask u to flash stock before flashing their rom
Eg Hyperion

Dude if u were on stock rom .. u need not follow this procedure
Read the title properly
Remove u battery .. reinsert it then hold up+home+power to boot into recovery...
Wat do u mean u were on stock rom and tried this method ... u need cwm to do this
OK if it still doesn't boot into recovery
U have to flash stock via Odin
Next time read instructions properly ...
IF U R ALREADY ON STOCK ROM THERE IS NO POINT IN USING THIS METHOD
PLEEZ GUYS FOLLOW THE STEPS IN EXACT SAME ORDER OR U WILL 100% GET UR PHONE BRICKED I ASSURE U THAT ...

Hercules Won't Factory Reset

I've actually got several problems.
1.) My phone won't shut down completely. It just goes to the T-Mobile screen and stops shutting down at that point.
2.) When I go to factory reset and click on "delete all..." nothing happens.
3.) The whole reason I want to reset is because I want to flash CyanagenMod and every time I try I get stuck in a boot loop. This happens no matter how many times I wipe everything. I just get stuck in a bootloop...with every Rom I try to flash. I can flash a backup though
I am rooted and have several T-Mobile bloatware frozen using Titanium Backup, so that could be the problem.
So to summarize:
Rooted and running stock ICS
Using Rom Manager and ClockworkMod 6.0.2.7 (also have touch reocovery, but it's quit working)
Titanium Backup used to freeze T-Mo and a couple of Samsung apps
Phone won't shut down properly (have to pull battery)
Phone won't reset to factory settings.
Can't flash roms stuck in Bootloop
I can flash backups tho.
Use TWRP : Wipe , Wipe System and Preload .. Flash Rom Reboot..let sit 10 Min everything should be fine!

So, to be sure I know what your talking about ur sayin that before u flash a rom all your doing is a factory reset? U need to do a full system wipe, start clean, switch to twrp, wipe system cache Calvin and do a factory reset from recovery, then flash ROM, gapps ,and reboot, let the phone sit idle and set itself up for ten min or so before u use it, reboot once then set up ur phone, if that doesn't work Odin back to stock and start fresh

Thanks for the responses guys.Just a little fyi here. I've tried to wipe everything and I do seem to be on some CWM Touch recovery. After tletting the phone sit, drain recharge, fiddling with wiping, and flashing CM9 (by accident, it was in my recovery files) it reboots into the CM9 splash screeen, but just stayed there (no bootloop). As a result I had to buy an N4 that I plan to return (I want it, just can't afford it,lol) and revisited my Herculean disaster (pun intended). I can now wipe! It still reboots into CM9 splash screen, but it seems to be working !
Here's what you need to know. I'm not real knowlegeable about Odin/kies/ and TWRP. I'm thinking of trying to side flash CM10 or CM10.1, but have never flashed this way. Any links for help?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks soupy. I used odin to flash recovery and to root, but it was a long time ago because the phone never shut down properly and I wasn't able to flash any roms. As a result I've just held on for a new phone. I have to take the (way overpriced) N4 back to T-Mo today and want to get my GSII running again , so that I have something until I buy another N4 from Google this time.
I know. TMI. I just can't resist. lol.
So today's the day I may have questions everyone. hint hint.:silly:

I am on TWRP 2.6.1.0 as well.
I install the rom only no gapps or anything extra and let it boot and see what happens.
I know it may not be poss now but you could try taking out your ext-sd card and simm card and boot just from the internal drive.
I don't know that it would help but it can't hurt and it reduces variables.

why not just use another recovery like cwm and see if it works with that one.

You need completely wipe everything in order to flash a 4.3 ROM for the first time some times.

try another board that had saved because it has the USB damaged. try to set you up for the 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 and also gave me freeze and reboot. and wipe everything very well. I can not be!. but a problem has to see. do not know if I can be my navigation buttons are damaged (broken wire). believe you can be what makes my phone restart?
I had this issue i just updated my twrp. Maybe you should download TWRP from a different source? Maybe the one you have is corrupted or something . IDK try everything.
this doesn't help any, just wanted to confirm the same issue. Anytime I flash ROM above 4.1.2 on this phone it crashes in some way. any custom ROM
