Help... Bootloop? But not a bootloop? Confusion. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Rooted my i317 2 days ago with the "no triangle counter" method. All was good, got TWRP installed, nandroided stock and did my thing. Been rooting phones for many years and have yet to brick anything *knocks on virtual wood*. Installed paranoid android, and all was awesome. Decided to give another rom a try... Cant remember which, but im not thinking thats the issue.
Wiped, flashed, no errors, rom booted normally, but as i unlock the device i get three force close errors. Then reboot. Over and over. Restored three different backups and all three do the same thing. Never run into this one before. Admittedly i am worried. Not a rich man and bought this phone outright...
I am hoping flashing in odin the original root tar file will correct the issue. But honestly wanted to do some reading and post this first. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try flashing a touch wiz kernel before going back to a nandroid? If not try that and if so try a factory reset and then a good old reboot!
I assume you tried a cm10.1 rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

Same thing happened to me and I did just use odin to push that tar file through, rerooted, and flashed in my rom. That to me seems to be the fix for the bootloop imo. But someone with more knowledge could correct me if im wrong. Probably didnt help you any but just thought I would share my experience and fix when I was in the same position.

Both of you are good people. Alleviated is a drastic understatement. Was afraid it was a bad internal storage (bad hard drive) and was an issue limitec to my device. Others have done it, it can be fixed.
Cheers, gonna odin reflash now. If not will figure it out.

Help full group over here, Appreciated greatly. Ive messed up a couple devices pretty good in my day, but never beyond repair. Always credited to people round these forums.
The factory reset didnt seem to help. But if system apps are missing... Reflashed the original tar file, and am just sitting here with a lump in my throat watching the Samsung logo hang...
Anyone got a link for the original rogers firmware?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using Tapatalk 2

*edit* back to stock. Dont wanna speak too soon, kinda superstitious with phones. But i think im good. Took two trys to flash original firmware.
Thanks guys, **** not so bad when ya got communication in a forum.
Cheers

What I did when it was stuck at the Samsung logo was I took out the battery> held down volume up, center home, and power to go into the system and did a factory wipe> then it pulled through nack to stock. Give it a try and keep me posted.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda premium

I tried the factory wipe through the cwm recovery included, didnt work. Was still stuck on samsung logo. Reflashed with odin a second time which allowed a successful boot and recovery of my paranoid android backup. Im good to go... Gonna do some more reading though. Im missing something important with this phone. Moving from 4.1 to 4.2 roms or vice versa seems to be... Weird.
Anyways all good. Thanks.

That's a dumb reason. Stuff like this rarely happens.
To the OP, you have to ODIN it, not just flash a stock ROM.

I love flashing ROMS.
It's been a very poor experience with samsung devices though.
Only reason I switched ROM was because it was shutting off when I took pictures with the DarkSide rom.
Then only my DATA worked and then no network whatsoever
I already tried swapping my SIM into another phone and my sim is fine
I even tried someone else's sim to my phone and it still doesnt read it.
Right now i am about to try going back to factory settings using this method
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16727-howto-restore-stock-rom-recover-bad-flashes/
so it sounds like it is a common problem . however now it reads the sim but i get the error "your sim does not allow connection to this network." keep in mind it was working earlier today. any other suggestions before i pull this turd on ebay?
Just saying that I had no data Connection switching to Tuesday. Ended up wipeing cache,dalvik,and fixing permissions once more solved the issue.

Sounds like u need to reflash your radio and flash your rom again...
But b4 that, do a factory reset
Your phone is STOCK now. The ROM, KERNEL, MODEM and BOOT LOADER are all replaced with this method and ROOT access is removed. Your personal data and apps are still on the phone though. You will probably want to clean this up before returning the phone.
The ODIN restore i did says i should be completely back to stock. still not working.
such a damn shame, i kinda liked this phone. im porbably out $80 on this garbage.
1. did you wipe all your ****? and fix permissions?
2. is this a CL or ebay phone?

Rookie mistake... any help?

So I was rooting my friends phone, and accidently forgot to remove the check mark next to repartition when installing cwm, now the phone will not install any roms, and will not return to stock through Odin. Gets stuck at factoryfs.rfs, and will not process any further. Any advice?
Get the victory.pit and odin again with rfepartition checked... I spent 3 days TRYING to brick this phone and couldn't... just keep trying... different cables, ports, etc....
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2
I tried that... have been using the PIT the whole time.. even repartitioned by itself which went through fine. Still hangs at factory, when I power on the phone it is a blank screen... tried two computers, and every port... set odin as admin, and running it in compatibility mode...
It sounds insane but really just keep trying because eventually it should work. It took me a whole day once but eventually I rebooted a lot and got the cord port combo, and the grace of a religious deity correct. As long as nothing blows up while doing the repartition nothing really bad should happen since you can always flash recoveries and kernels through Odin anyway. Good luck and happy flashing!

Looking for stock SGS2 Rom

Hey guys, I am in desperate need of some help. I had to have my SG2 replaced because of a bad headphone jack and need to send the old phone in, as always I waited till the last day to try and get the phone back to stock and am running into problems. I have tried to download every ODIN file there is but it seems that none of the file work, I have been on here as well as searching u have google and cant get a "stock" rom that will work. If you have a stock rom that I can ODIN my phone back to stock I would appreciate it if you would send it to me. Getting really pissed at all the dead links and bs files people have posted, I just need to GO BACK TO STOCK..............Thanks for any help you can offer
It doesn't matter as they won't check. They'll send it in to get refurbished and that will wipe it. Trust me on my third sgs2, and the ones I sent in had a custom ROM on them. Never heard anything about it.
Not to sound like and ass but this is not the forum for these requests, general is usually the place.

4th time I had to factory restore. This is unbelievable.

Had my N72013 for 2 weeks now, and it boot loop'd four times on me twice in one day.
This can't be only happening to me.
I ordered from Google (big mistake), their rep said they can send me a new model but I would have to pay for it (dock the amount) first then once I receive it, send in my current model then wait to get my $$$ back.
Is this an issue with 4.3 or the device. I really don't want to return it if this problem could be patched away with an update...
Forgot to mention, I'm unlocked and rooted. 32gigs. No dead pixels, minor light bleed that doesn't bother me at all.
What would you do?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
If its boot looping that's not normal obviously you know that so I would exchange it. Keep swapping until you get a good one.

wha?? I would return immediately.
Yea I don't know why its boot looping either. Maybe your factory images are corrupt and thus you keep restoring a bad image. Perhaps you have a bad sector in your memory.
You could test it by flashing a non-stock rom, such as CM10.2 which also uses a CM kernel.
Use it for a few days and See if the problem goes away or stays.
Either way, reflash stock using the Google Nexus 7 images. If the problem stays, then take it back. If it fixes it, then keep it.

Thought I'll give you an update.. Installed CM10.2 for a few days, as you said.. No issues what so ever. Decided to try my luck with CoolRom and it bootlooped the moment I rebooted.
Decided on doing a complete wipe of the device and flashing a factory rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381582 ).
Don't want to give up hope yet.

There are tons of apps that require root access and are mandatory for many people including me.
I wouldn't bother to unlock and root. The N7 is flawless and fast out of the box.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Again, root access is required for most decent backup programs and cloud data syncing apps. The issue doesn't require a debate about whether you need root or not. Yes the N7 is wicked fast and if you only use it as a bathroom reader for Facebook and light use, then that's cool. I like OTG support for my thumb drives when I'm in the field working.
Glad CM is working for you. That at least shows it isn't a hardware problem. I'd reflash stock images and see where that leaves you. Worse case you use CM (oh my!) until we see a patch.
It sounds like it just has a corrupted stock image. Kernels typically cause the reboots but a bad app or system file can too.
If you flash stock back and you still have issues, try just flashing a modified stock kernel (stock rom/custom stock kernel). CM has its own kernel which might be why it was working better.
You also should do a complete wipe between stock and CM and AOSP and vice versa. It typically bootloops if you dirty flash one type of rom over another. Stock and AOSP are pretty much the same thing but some custom ROMs like CM have different structures that hose you.

I flashed a stock image unroot, relocked. The process went without a hitch. Then I unlocked and rooted, flashed clean ROM, tried to see if I would get it to bootloop and it hasn't! Must've been a corrupt image.
I just want to thank you again, your advice saved me a lot of time and hassle with Google.

I do not understand the hassle with Google.
I told them yesterday to get a new device, as wireless charging does not work. I talked max 10 minutes on the phone and I received an email 2 minutes after saying that I'll get a new device.
Yes, they will charge you "temporarily" for this, but you do not have to pay anything.
Anyway, it's me, I found it easy with Google.
Mine bootlooped today. Stock. No root or anything. I was forced to do a factory reset from recovery. Very troubling that this seems to be happening to a few people. There's a couple of threads over on android central of people having the same problem.

Super glad its worked. It worked for me. It worked for another guy. And worked for you. I think there is a bad rom image flashed on all of these that are causing lots of problems. The only fix is to clean slate and reflash the stock image, or move to custom ROMs.
Probably need to get someone to write a little app that just automates flashing the stock image again just for simplicity.
I'll probably create a new thread covering this.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The stock images and the install script .bat file is simple enough.
Especially if you're rooted already. Since you already have the drivers installed on your computer.
Toolkits need to die a slow painful death.
You need root access a pen drive using an OTG cable, install app like titanium backup etc. Rooting doesn't mean custom rom or kernel

Problem after update

After I updated my phone to 4.4.2 I lose service and have to restart my phone multiple times a day to get service back. I called T-Mobile and after resetting the phone they said they would replace it. Then I called Samsung and they said to bring it to best buy to have it reflashed. I can go there but I could also flash it via Odin at home. Now my question is, if I flash the stock rom via Odin will it trip the Knox counter? I read that it won't and I read that it can. I just want to make sure it won't before I flash it incase I have to have it repaired or replaced.

Tmobile said there is no way I could flash the firmware again even though I knew I could through odin, just wasn't sure if I used odin if it would trip the Knox counter. I didn't want to replace my phone that is in mint condition through tmobile and get who knows what in return so I called Samsung and they said to go to best buy to have it reflashed.

Yeah, i hate getting replacements from them. I no longer have insurance as any repairs (aside from shattered screen, this denotes an upgrade ) i will just do myself. I have gotten replacements for my S3 through them and they ALL were horrible. I ended up having to take apart both phones when they sent me the new one and made a good working one out of it and reassembled the bad pieces into a bad phone and sent that one back. Ha. It was pathetic. lol.

Well I spoke too soon. I had to restart my phone again to get service back. The problem is still there. I had data but no cell service.

I've had SIM related issues before. Sometimes an older SIM card won't work correctly with a system update. With a new card problems disappear. Let's hope this is the case for you.

Ever since I got the OTA Kit Kat my phone is in nightmare mode. Wifi wont stay on or ever even come on. Wake screen freezes and numerous other issues. I got same responses from TMO and Sammy and have spent 100 hours on here searching for HOW to fix. Ive used Odin 307 and 309 with various files CWM OUDHS, etc and never get anywhere. Just fails with "no PIT" errors every time.
Ive rooted phones before with NO problems , G2, and other HTCs, but Sammy driving me nuts.Im assuming its because I have 4.4.2
So your saying using Odin with a stock ROM will work? or errors again? samobile the site you need to pay to join right?
Ive seen THOUSANDS of people with SAME issues, various carriers as well as S4s and Nexus
Im so stinking frazzled from this

So your saying using Odin with a stock ROM will work? or errors again? samobile the site you need to pay to join right?
Ive seen THOUSANDS of people with SAME issues, various carriers as well as S4s and Nexus
Im so stinking frazzled from this

What do you have checked in Odin? And are you flashing 4.4.2 firmware?

Well either way you'll never get anywhere without 4.4.2 because you said that's what you have.. It won't flash anything below that so try 4.4.2
