Help please guys :) stuck on a boot looop - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need help please, ive looked around on the forum for an answer to my problem but to no avail..
The story goes...
Had my lovely note 2 for a while, decided to root used (exynos abuse). (i only needed root for root explorer as i wanted to change the boot animation) i never got around to doing this.
Next thing i was on the playstore and i seen a DPI modifier, i downloaded that and set the DPI to 240 granted su permissions and the phone rebooted..
Now im stuck in the samsung logo boot loop..
Could someone please help my get my note 2 back.. im not bothered about the data on there as all this is backed up.
I have already downloaded odin, but not sure what to go from here as i am still a n00b

Flash the stock firmware again via Odin that will reset everything....
For odin download the. Tar file and the odin software. Hit pda and select your. Tar file and then flash it. Be sure to be in the download mode by pressing volume down + power+home button

You are a legend!!. i can't try this right now as i am in work.
I have the latest Odin, where would i get the stock firmware from? samfirmware.com?? (my works computer is currently blocking this site for telephony and sms lol) so i will try it when i get back home.
So i have to make sure that the firmware is a .tar file?

You could just stick a Build.prop in a Cwm zip and flash that, but u would need Cwm recovery installed to use that. If you don't have Cwm installed, then go to this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000138
Download the file ending in .tar
Boot your phone in your download mode, open odin on your pc, and in the pda tab, select the path to the Cwm zip.
That would save u from having to flash a stock rom, and u would still keep all your user data.
If u need help making a Cwm zip, i can send u one with a Build.prop later today.

Hey Corey thanks for the reply, ive pulled the build.prop via adb and edited it, then pushed it back to the phone. It hasn't changed anything its still stuck on the boot loop, that makes me wonder is anything else has changed in the build.prop..
What would be the best program to edit the build.prop on my computer?

Hi,
If you changed the build.prop back to 320, then the build.prop might not be the only problem. I guess the DPI editor you used must have changed some other things in the rom.
I will attach my build.prop here , so try pushing that to your phone, and see if it boots, if it doesn't boot, then the DPI must have changed some other things somewhere on yhe phone, and you will have to flash a stock rom.
Here is my build.prop
http://db.tt/4idemf7B
Try flashing that, if it doesn't work, then you will have to just flash a stock rom with Odin.

Hey man thanks again for your help, i pushed the build.prop you provided and still nothing.. im downloading the stock fw now on my works connection so its taking forever (12mins left) so i will flash the stock fw to it.
I understand that i stick the phone in download mode.. open Odin, plug phone in. chuck the .tar into the PDA box and hit start?
What do i do if after flashing the stock fw its still stuck on a boot loop???
I do have the phone insured so i can swap it at the store, but due to the holidays that wont be until the end of next week and i need my phone for work... plus im enjoying the learning curve of sorting the phone myself
Thanks again corey

It is unlikely you will get bootloop after flashing stock firmware.
Even you get it just you have to wipe it from recovery (Vol up+home+power) and wipe cache
If that won't help then you have to wipe data(factory reset) from recovery too.
But here with wiping data you will loss your data.
PS : You can flash any stock ROM.

Hi,
Before flashing the stock rom, boot the phone up in to recovery (hold home + power + volume up) and wipe data, Cache, ect.
And make sure u don't tick any box's ect in odin, as some of them can potentially brick your phone, so just leave all the check box's as they are.
Seeing u just changed the DPI, flashing a stock rom will fix it. The only way to hard brick a phone, so that flashing a stock rom doesn't fix it, us by stuffing up the /boot partition. Which is not too easy to do. And changing the DPI wouldn't do that.
Just make sure the stock rom u install is the right one for your phone (make sure the model number matches your phone). As a n7105 rom won't work too well on a N7100 ect.
And leave the phone for up to 10 min to boot up after flashing the rom. So don't try restarting ect till you have left it to boot for 10 min.

Odin flashable stock ROM?

After playing around wth ROMs I've got bootloop (although should not - just factory reset and cache/dalvik wipe).
Now I need odin flashable stock (preferably) ROM. I tried to find it here and no luck.
Can some1 help me? Canadian or AT&T version should work
POWER OFF PHONE....... Once it’s turned off, press volume up + power button + home button simultaneously and keep them pressed until you see the recovery mode...
Now clear cache, and dalvik cache....then do a factory reset within this menu. Once done reboot....This helps when bootloops occur...try this before using odin..its worked for me and many others...

Buddy, I know what bootloop is and how to get rid of it I tried this yesterday night couple of times - it doesn't work.
Now, I cannot mount internal sdcard as USB device. in advanced I'm choosing this option, but nothing happens. I do not have (yet) external microsdxc card (ordered a day before).
So, the only way for me to fix that is to find odin flashable ROM. Have some1 saw it somewhere?

Well you dont have choice if you cant flash anything since you cant get to recovery mode pick your rom here and flash via odin. They are all root injected rom already just make sure you use rom that matches your network.

Thanks a lot, this exactly what I need, it even rooted thanks a lot
The thing is - I CAN get to CWM, but due to lack of space (well, to be completely honest with ya - my stupidy) I deleted good CWM flashable ROM (Jedi 3.2) which was working for me to give a space for the new one (Jedi 3.3). I broke my personal rule #1 - all the times have a chance to reflash back thus to have a copy of good working ROM on sdcard. Now I'm stuck:
- in CWM I can flash smth, but there's no good ROM on sdcard
- I tried to to hook up the phone as USB storage. It was working for me on my previous Captivate w/o any hiccups and I was thinkng it will do the job on Note2. As I can see - not really: I'm selecting "USB Storage", but nothing happends. I tried linux and windows PCs, different cables and ports (front and back ones), I installed Samsung drivers on windows machines - nothing. That mean I cannot put anything on sdcard.
- the most funny thing - an hour before that I bought Sandisk 64GB microsdxc card on ebay to be able to keep ROMs on my phone. But for now I don't have one to put firmware on it to be able to flash it.
- I checked download mode - I can get there as well. Looks the only way for me to alive my phone.
Again, thanks a lot, guys, really appreciate your help I'll download this tonight and will flash. I'll keep you posted with results.
BTW, I think it's a good idea for some1 like me stuck in bootloop to be able to get these ROMs from "[REF] Your one-stop shop for the Note II (Kernels, Roms, Guides, Modems, Etc.)" topic. I think I have to PM moderators to ask them to do so.

N7105t wont boot

Hi, new here and new to Android. My mate convinced me to jump ship from iPhone and get a Note II and I love it. The best phone I have ever had. But now I am way above my head here. I gained root with Chainfires CF Auto Root and installed mobile Odin. Installed a version of Aroma Rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093080
I installed everything and worked perfect but I didn't like the moto theme i installed within it so went back to mobile Odin to go through the process again but this time it is stuck at the loading screen. Gets passed the GT-N7105T screen and goes to the ANDROID load screen, but does nothing else.
I initially backed up my EFS but forgot to do the Nandroid. Really need help... Thanks in advance.
Is there any way I can do a restore or anything? I can get to the Vol Up, home, power and vol down, home, power menus. Go to work in about 1 hour so fingers crossed I can get some ideas at the end of my shift.
Try a factory reset/wipe data. See if it helps. Phone will be fresh with no data if it works

Thanks, tried that before but will do it again. ... Ok, so completed factory reset (through recovery mode) and then reboot. Wont go any further than the android load screen.
Is it possible to gain root access with cwm and flash another rom? Can't seem to do it from recovery mode with cf auto root.
There is a thread which have pre rooted stock roms but flashable via odin only. Correct me if im wrong. Try downloadbany of the chefs rom for yur model. Usually it comes rooted. Try n see if that helps. Other than that try repartition yur phone using pit file

Hi,
My guess is the ROM got stuffed somehow.
If you can get in to cwm recovery, try doing a full wipe and flashing a new ROM.
If u can't get in to cwn, download a stock rom for your model, from WWW.sammobile.com
Install Odin on your PC (it should come in the zip that the ROM came in)
Then boot your phone in to download mode (home button + volume down + power button )
Plug your phone in to PC
Open Odin, you should see a blue box showing your phones connected.
Now depending upon if the ROM is single or 3 file, u will need to do one of the following:
If its single file, select the PDA tab in Odin, and select the ROM u downloaded. Then click start.
If its 3 file, click on the tabs PDA, PHONE, CSC, and select the corresponding files with the same name.
Then click start.
The may also be a pit file in the ROM tar file, don't flash that. As it can cause a hard brick.
If what I said doesn't work, let me know, and the is a few other things u can try.
Cheers
Corey

Ah thanks so much guys. This is the exact info I have been searching for. I know its all been asked before, but trying to sift through the thousands of threads with thousands of posts is so frustrating when you can't find the answers. I have spent the last week researching and finally flashing a rom, then this happens. I thought my phone was a gonner!
Will give this a shot now. Fingers crossed.
Cant believe i didn't try this earlier. doing a firmware recovery through KIES and seems to be working so far.

To make nandroid backup you First need to flash advanced recovery (cwm/TWRP)
After this you will have option to backup in recovery menu.

Hi,
I am pretty sure the n7105t and n7105 are the same, but just have different SARS values (work on different networks and need different rils and modems).
If that is the case, you could just download build prop editor from the android market, or just use a text editor, and change the device ID to n7105.
Then you could flash the recovery from ROM manager.
I used to have a galaxy s2 that was the T variant, and the only difference on that from the standard model was the sar values.
Alternatively you can just download a .tar recovery, and flash it thru Odin.
Cheers

the link you posted has two kernals for the i317 whats the difference? and where in odin does the kernal go? thanks again guys your all awesome
Have you gotten back into twrp recovery yet?
If youre stuck in a bootloop which it sounds like...hold volume up home button and power until device turns off and once you see samsung logo let go.
Did you make a back up before you flashed? If so restore it and youll be fine. If not then you need to remember this...always always make a backup. Every thread on here says make a backup before you flash.
And btw I dont hate noobs. We all were at one point and I remember how stressful it can be when you're unsure of what youre doing amd think youve bricked. Pm me if you need help. As long as either you can get into recover via the method I said above or alternative method is plug you phone in your pc, open up cmd prompt in then folder you put all your android root files. (Hold shift and right click in a blank space in the folder, then go to open command propmpt here. Then type in:
adb reboot recovery
That will also get you in recovery.

HELP PLEASE t889V stuck on Samsung logo

Hi Guys need help bad. I hope I didnt screw my phone up.
I rooted my phone using the latest toolkit and installed twrp. Once i did that I backed up everything including efs on the external card.
Once i did that I flashed Jedi x rom but did not have much signal so decided to flash another rom which was liquid smooth. Once I flashed it again
my signal was almost non existent. I downloaded a canadian modem in the zip file and flashed it using twrp the same way i would flash a rom.
After i did that i wiped all the data and cache and the system. As I was rushing it siince its late at night i got a message saying that I am not rooted. I ignored it and rebooted the system and now its stuck on samsung logo. What can i do? Please help!!!!!
It appears that when I hold vol up plus home plus power I can get into download mode. I hope that helps.
Can someone give me some help how to get it back to life. I am pretty sure I have to use Odin at this point but dont know how
Ok i did some reading and I think the next step is to download stock image for the wind mobile turn on Odin and upload the image to the phone..
What settings should I use in Odin? What should be checked at the top and am I to use PDA only?
You can use odin or just reflash the ROM. You said tout wiped system after flashing the modern. That means you erased what ever ROM was on there. It's sticking at Samsung because there is no ROM to boot into.

Well I cant get into TWRP and dont know how to flash a ROM through ODIN? I am total newb at this.
Could you give me some pointers once I open up odin what do i need to do ? Thanks
Have you puked the battery. Put it back in then held volume+, home and power? Your recovery should still be there.
Also, odin is easy. Just open it and click the pda box and put your stock ROM there. Two things make sure you put your image in PDA and PDA ONLY and make sure it's your official stock Image

Yup went back to ODIN and flashed stock image and everything is now working great. I assume that I need to root the phone again before attempting to flash any roms again. I guess it was late at night and like you said I wiped the rom and there was nothing to boot into. I am an idiot!
Thanks for your quick help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so here's my next question.
In order to root again do i use the toolkit again or simply just download the pre-rooted rom and flash it with Odin? Which one would be better just
to get root again? Thanks!

When I did this approach, I did it in two steps. I downloaded factory image of the firmware and flashed the device by using Odin 3.0.7.
Next, I used a tool package called "Galaxy Note2 ToolKit." Follow the instructions for how to root.
When I did the procedure, the software also had an option to include clockworkmod recovery
and busybox.

Do you have a link for that ZIP? I'm running into a similar problem after flashing CM10.2 and can't flash a TW Rom on my S4.
Thanks!
10.2 sucks
the same thing happened to me, but i am using the stock firmware and using a tutorioal on how to unroot unbrick note 2 i hope that brings my phone to normal. and then refalsh and load jedi x 17. ALSO AT ONE POINT I DONT KNOW WHAT I DID WRONG BUT THE PLAY STORE WANTS INCLUDE IN THE 10.2 ROM THAT I INSTALL AND THE WEB PLAY STORE WOULD RECOGNIZE MY DEVICE AS NEXUS 7, BUT IT IS A NOTE 2. THAT WAS WEIRD.

First page look for restore sd-downgrade.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105917
downgrade.zip will NOT do ANYTHING to help your issue; all it does it change the files system back to the way it is in 4.12
something else is wrong, but you have to post more info; what rom you flashed, what recovery/version you are on, what the error message/code is when you try to flash, etc...

Thanks even more for letting me know that this won't do the trick. I should start by reiterating that I have a S4 on Sprint and not a Note 2 on AT&T, so I before I get flamed for being in the wrong forum, just wanted to check if I should go further on what I'm running and the "error" I'm experiencing to see if you can help. I'd really appreciate it if you could but don't want to break any rules ...
its not so much about breaking the rules, as it is about giving you advice that could harm your device, since its not the same as this threads'
I would take it to the s4 threads, just to be sure
good luck
So still no luck with this for me. Someone please help. I can only flash non touchwiz ROMs. I am running pacman nightly 4.3 9-7-13 version. I just flashed devil kernel to see if it would fix the issue. No luck but definetly a nice kernel. I try to flash jedix17 16 and even a nandroid I had from 16 no luck. Tried several other tw ROMs but it just gets stuck on bootloop. Hellllllllllp I like pacman but I was flashing roms everyday and I'm going nuts. I brick my gs3 backup phone so I have to be very careful now with only one phone. Advice?????

Okay. ....do you show correct IMEI Number ?
And do you have data ?
If yes. ..then let's try this. ..(deep breath)..(make a backup)...then the following:
First. ...boot to recovery and wipe data, caches, and internal storage. ..
Basically everything without touching your external card. ..and just to be sure. .take it out and set it aside. .(make sure to unmount it in settings first !!!)
Next. .turn off the device and boot into download mode. ..(ready for Odin)
Then using only your PC...download Mr. Robinsons rooted UCAMA4 build from his thread. .. (in the development section)..
Next. ..push the image you just downloaded to the device via Odin. ..(use the PDA box...and don't change any Odin settings)...
Next. ..wait for the image to automatically boot the device once completed. ....(unplug the device)..
If the device fails to boot. ..pull the battery. ..wait 30 seconds. ..then replace it and boot into the newly flashed 3e recovery and wipe cache and data 2 times each. ..then reboot.....
If the device boots normally then move to the next step. ..and if not. ..repeat the flash process again using Odin and the rom you downloaded. ..
If after two unsuccessful flashes, and wipes using 3e recovery, and battery pulls. ..you still don't get a successful boot. ..you may have partition damage. ..in which case a repair may be needed. ..but for the sake of your phone we'll wait until the above has failed. ..
Next. ...If boot occurs using the above method. ..enter your wifi password and log into the play store and download triangle away if you want your counter reset. .
If not. ..skip the play store after entering the wifi password and move into your settings/about phone/software update. ..
Push the update button and wait for ATT to offer you the update to UCAMC3..then take it. ..
If desired you can then clear the flash counter and unroot...
Let's get that far before worrying about anything else. ..
Please record any errors or messages you get. ..especially while using Odin. ..as this tells us the device partition state. ..especially when PIT files are involved. .
Sorry for the long post. ..but it was necessary. ..I hope. .
Please post back. ...g
