[Q] GNII doesn't wake up after sleep. - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have flashed GNII roms in the past using ODIN but this time I'm stumped at the problem.
It was just a normal flash to get 4.1.2 rom in my GNII but the cable came off in the middle but then I reflashed it again successfully and everything went well but now when my phone goes into sleep it refuses to wake up.
If the screen is off for 1 sec then it will wake up but if its for 5+ secs I need to restart my phone to get it working again. When it does go to sleep, I can call the phone but the phone doesn't respond in any way so I know the phone itself is working but doesn't display or make a ring.
One way it kind of worked was by putting typing *#7284# and selcting PDA mode as it was by MODEM by default. That seems to solve the problem as long as the usb cable is connected to the computer but as soon as I take the cable out, the phone is non-responsive once it sleeps again.
When I type *#0# and select sleep mode the phone doesnt wake if the phone is not connected to usb but wakes up if usb is connected and PDA mode is selected.
I've tried flash it a few times now with different ROMS and it seems the problem is persisting with every ROM.
What could be the problem and any solution I can try?
Thanks again for your help.

Alright so ive used the search and couldnt find anything. I have a rooted s2 running eagles blood v1.1 and last night i flashed over lite'ing theme and now my phone screen will shut off and wont allow me to turn it back on, i have to hold the power button and it restarts. Ive reflashed eagleblood even recovered back to stock with just root and it continues to do it.
Any help would be much appriciated :/

Probably best to post this in the rom developer's thread. Any number of things can cause this behavior.
I would but my post count is low and i am unable to post there, so for now i am seeking help here.
ive tried un-rooting the phone, flashing the stock rom and no root, but have the same issue.
Did you wipe the caches in recovery?

Are you using SetCPU? I had this problem from a screen off profile where I could get calls or have my alarm go off yet not able to wake the screen unless I manually powered it off and on.

i have tried this already, does not work :/
I'm having the same problem on rooted stock rom. It's getting more and more frequent. The phone just refuses to come back on after going to sleep. If I plug in the power/usb cable, it actually makes the connected noise as if it's actually awake but the screen stays off.
I've uninstalled all cpu and memory tweaking apps and am still experiencing the issue.

ive tried everything, flashed over and over, un rooted, different roms etc nothing has worked so i just used zedomax's stock rom to restore the phone ( problem still continues) called tmobile and will have my replacement within a day or so, nothing else i can do i suppose.
though my problem did seem to start right when i flashed lite'ing theme for eaglesblood (not saying that caused it )

im starting to think it is a phone issue myself, going to find out Tuesday when my new one arrives though i am hoping it was an error on my part because this phone has the chance to be fantastic.
I was having random shutdowns with my 1st phone, the thing is I never did have stock long enough (rooted after 45min of gettjng) to see if it was the phone or root/rom(s).
My second phone is working great without any random shutdowns, but I'm still stock(running on second day of testing).
Gonna root and flash tomorrow and hope everything remains the same if not back it goes before my remorse period ends.
I really think it's phone related rather then a rom because I've never had this problem with previous phones.
So I would suggest on exchanging it.

i do appreciate the feed back, and from everyone who did give it. after lots of research and back and fourth between stock and custom roms i definitely wanted it to be the rom so it was fixable but im about 96% sure its the actual phone its self.

Bricked?! [UPDATED]

I tried searching, but I couldn't find anyone with the same problem as me and I don't know what to do.. I'm kind of freaking out. The last update I installed was darkside beta02, and I was really liking it minus a few connection and call issues. Anyways, I was in my car earlier today and picked out a song on play music. The phone instantly turned off, and it appeared that it was about to reboot so I didn't think much about it. Nope. When it starts to turn on it rarely makes it past the samsung screens that pops up right when you start the phone, but it has made it as far as the swirling samsung s splash screen thing. It just acts like it is rebooting from that part and it's like a never ending cycle until I remove the battery. I can get the phone into download mode by plugging it into the computer, but it only stays on for a few seconds and then goes back to it's never ending reboot. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, I really can't afford to have bricked this phone
UPDATE: I managed to restore the phone to stock, and I proceeded to root and put darkside beta 7.1 on it. Everything was running fine... For a few hours. It began to do the same rebooting described above, but now instead of looking like it's going to boot normally it goes straight to a screen that says "Firmware encountered an issue. Please sleect recovery mode in Kies and try again." with the phone model, "Custom Binary Download: No" and "Current Binary: Samsung Official" up top. It only stays at this screen for a few seconds before it starts back into it endless half-reboot. Any suggestions? This is frustrating me A LOT.
uh, have you tried charging it? Honestly at first blush it sounds like a dead battery.

Oops sorry about that. I would reset your flash counts and try and take it back to the store if possible... seems like your only option if you can't get into recovery. Or reflash stock. Then root again then clear cache and then factory defaults
If you can get it to stay on long enough-- in Odin

The problem is that I can't do anything but watch the phone start up for about 10 seconds, or be in download mode for about 10 seconds. Not much time to do anything.
That is why you reset flash counts before you go in... Google is your friend and try to unroot somehow--

I had this exact thing happen to me today!! For the last week or so, I would get a random reboot up to four times a day. This started happening after I flashed Whitehawkx UVLDE zip. What I did was left the battery in the phone let the constant reboot run until the battery died. Then I would try to get into download mode, but then it would reboot before Odin recognized it. I left the usb plug in the phone and took the battery out, the phone would still do the rebooting vibration. I just stayed with trying to get the phone to stay on long enough to get recognized by Odin. Leave the drained battery out of the phone for a while (your choice of how long, I left it for about forty minutes) and replace it, hopefully it stays on long enough to get recognized. Finally it stayed on long enough and I re-flashed ULKL1. Now I'm back to running TDJ's DARKSIDE. EVOLUTION.2 [BETA 3] and I haven't had any reboots where as before it would reboot within fifteen minutes.

Thank you! And when you say replace the battery, do you mean get a whole new one or put in the dead one?
Just put the dead one in.
My advice is similar to his, but without killing the battery. Open odin on your computer, and input what your going to input into pda and have everything ready to go, so all you have to do is press start and its off. Now, start with the phone turned off, hold both volume buttons and plug in the usb cable from the computer quickly! Have your hand ready on the mouse and ready to click start. Soon as odin recognizes click that start button! Hopefully everything happened so quick, that the phone will take the flash. However, if it doesn't, then I'm afraid the only answer you would have left is to use a jig to reset the counter and take it in to be replaced.

I took it to a repair shop, where I was told to send it to Samsung to do a heavy-duty root. The power button does need to be replaced because there is no spring when you push down on it. I have no idea if there's a root glitch. Has anyone sent their phone to Samsung? What happened? Are there alternatives?
Thank you!

It was amazing, I had the same problem but all i did was open up the back up undoing all the tiny screws and then took a can on compressed air and sprayed out the power button and its been working for more than a month now with the problem completely gone! try that first before sending to sammy.
Ok I am in the same boat. My device does not boot up, it will get to Samsung logo and restart half the time and the other half just vibrates every 2 seconds. I removed the battery while plugged in and it still vibrates. I took it apart and blew the power button with compressed air and nothing. Here is the funny thing if I bang the hell out of it, it almost boots up. Is there something that I can do less than sending it to Sammy ? If not I will sell it on craigslist for parts.

Same thing here. Only way to get it to power on is by hitting it, the harder the better it seems. After it turns on, touching the power button will make it go in to the restart loop 90% of the time. This sucks!
For me this started after I dropped my phone...with the case on and on carpet. I have also opened it up and sprayed with compressed air to no avail.

Hi Folks,
I had the same problem, the problem started when I dropped my fone on carpeted floor, here are symptoms
Fone restarts on its own, start the boot, inbetween the boot starts again, then, keeps vibrating every two seconds, you have to pull the battery out to stop it,
As soon as you put the battery back in, it restarts, again getting stuck, and then vibrating every two secods,
Here is what i did
- Cursed Samsung for making a sh***y phone - Didnt work
- Smacked my phone with whatever I could fine - Didnt work
- Opened all the screws up, took apart phone, pulled out the power button module (pcb), noticed power button was loose,put some glue into it, dried it, put it back, & ITS BEEN WORKING SINCE THEN ! It was a hardware fault, its not software !
Just my two cents, it worked in my case, I cannot guarantee if it will in your case too, try at your own risk !!

Same issue with SGH-M919. I was rooted and the rom I tried to use wouldn't work because the kernel caused some issues so I figured I would go back to stock. The device wouldn't go into recovery mode, so I flashed the stock rom via Odin. After the ROM loaded, the phone reset and I saw the Samsung screen then it rebooted and so on each time. It's not the power button as it works, has the spring feel to it and the phone would come one by itself if it was broken. So what can I do or am I in trouble?
Also, the phone will vibrate every 2 seconds

Sure, the power button will "work", but if it's constantly vibrating and rebooting, it's probably an issue with the power button. Do what it shows in the video I posted, and if you do it right it'll probably fix it. I gad to attempt it twice as it didn't fix it the first time, but it's been like 4 months and I haven't had an issue since.
Thank you but it was the kernel causing problems. Somehow, the new ROM messed up the partitions and subsequently required a full wipe including all data then I flashed the stock ROM back via Odin and it was fine. I rooted it again and flashed Bliss Pop 1.8 and I love that ROM. No issues at all. Thanks for the help. I'm slowly learning about ROMs and Linux etc.. I appreciate the help. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can learn more??? Where do I post to get past this 10 posts rule???

[Q] Phone won't continue boot up

Hi all, I'm really hoping someone can help me with this. I'm not sure if the phone is hard bricked as it starts up after a battery pull but shuts down immediately after no matter what mode I try to boot up in. On a normal start up it gets to the splash screen then shuts off and is unresponsive without another battery pull which triggers an automatic reboot. Trying to boot into recovery never works as I never get to the 2nd splash screen before the phone shuts back down and going into download it shuts off as soon as I get andy on the screen. Also in addition when I connect it to my computer it's usually off since I can't start it up and my computer won't recognize it regardless even if I manage to get it to turn on when connected. Any ideas? I haven't flashed anything today and it was working fine, a random reboot in walmart and it was dying then it just died and nothing is working even swapping in the battery from the gfs s3. Help me pls if it helps I was on the tw s4 dream rom and kt 5-31 kernel and used team kernelizers mod build props and all. Help pls guys

Hey man,
Not hard bricked.
Did you try to over clock your device? Did you mess with the kernel settings at all?
When you place the battery in your device does it automatically turn on or do you still have to hold down the power button?

Thank you god tell me you know how to fix it too lol.
Yea I have I use KT's kernel and use presets from team kernelizers, personally I think I know what the issue is I just didn't want to go around tossing blame. I don't think my phone likes the build prop mods included in there tk mod package. It started acting funny after I flashed them, but I figured the phone would settle down after a few cycles. I was actually about to revert them once the phone booted but it never happened. Sorry for long winding it and it turns on autmoatically. Nothing happens when I press the power button, it also shuts off within 2-3 seconds regardless of what mode I try to boot into. Pls help me if you can, I'm hoping I can fix this in the comfort of my home and not take it out for jtag repair.

I've had problems where I've tried to over clock my device and its sent me into a crazy boot loop but I was able to get into the device in between boots and change it back to stock(which obviously you Dont have the luxury of doing) so I'm kind of at a loss. If you put your battery in and the phone automatically boots without you pressing the power button then that might be your cause for the rapid reboots. I suggest you look into getting the power button repaired if that's the case. Or do it yourself. Shouldn't be too expensive. Hopefully someone in the community. Can shed some light on this matter better than I but from where I'm standing that seems to be your only option. I'm sorry I Dont have have a fix for you. Goodluck

It's funny, nothing would work. I went up to the cottage for a week came back down started messing with it and I managed to get it to freeze on the splash screen, my computer would recognize it though so it was a start. I then connected it to the pc and tried to flash stock through odin(obviously wouldn't work because the phone wasn't in download mode) so I tried to boot into dl mode it took a couple tries but it finally stuck. I was then able to flash stock and it's been fine ever since. I just rooted it and installed twrp. I want to flash a rom but the links for the roms I want is down so I'll wait or flash an old version of the rom I got on my sd. Thanks for the response and I'm just glad I got it to work and didn't have to pay the $50 for jtag repair which is what I was about to do lol.

I guess your wifi is not working as you like.
If thats the case, You need to revert back to stock rom.
This time while using ODIN uncheck auto reboot. Let ODIN complete the process.
After PASS. Go to stock recovery and wipe /factory reset.
After that boot your phone. Your wifi should be ok.

I have had the same problem. I had to squeeze the phone a little towards the antenna side of the phone and guess what wifi started working.
Earlier I thought that it was a kitkat issue and searched high and low for every possible solution. I too removed battery for good 10 minutes to get wifi back.
I don't know exactly why that works, but my best guess is that the contact point between antenna and board are somehow loose. When you squeeze it sits in the place.
Just try and see if anything good comes out of it.
Press thumps up if you found this suggestion helpful.

Told you already. Antenna side. Btw if u disassembled the phone, did check for loose connection between antenna and motherboard. Check utube videos to locate specific parts.

May be it is IC related problem. Nothing we can do. Send it to samsung servicing centre.
