Really hope somebody can help.
I have had a galaxy note 2 for about 6 months on Vodafone UK N7100.
Today while i was at work i felt something hot in my pocket, my phone was very hot (i was not doing anything with it) The phone was stuck on the Samsung boot screen.
After a few minutes of looking at this i realised it was stuck and removed the battery. SInce then i have been unable to get past the boot screen, i can't get into download mode or reboot mode. The only things to note. When i turn my phone on a red light flashes. When i plug my charger in the charge icon appears on screen but it does not charge.
Really hoping somebody can help.
I had rooted my phone if that helps (it did not cause this problem and has been functioning rooted for months)
Update
Just managed to get to a screen which warned me about installing custom software and did i want to continue. I said yes and it is now downloading something
How did you get to that screen?

does it get recognize in odin if yes try to flash stock rom and revive your phone hopefully u are not using the 4.1.1 rom better get a 4.1.2 and bring it to life :good:
if u can get to download mode now then flashed philz recovery first. After flashing recovery wipe dalvik, cache partition & then data reset.then u can flash stock using odin. try this if the first one doesnt work

I got there through home volume down and power during boot up.
I can't get into recovery though (using volume up)
Which version of odin should i be using? I am using 3.07
I am using the rom suggested in this guide http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-ph...e-2-from-rooted-to-factory-settings-50010623/
If i should not be using that where can i get the one i should be using.
When i try to install the stock rom linked above i get the message failed no PIT partition
Thanks for all the help so far

this would be your last hope http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32273406&postcount=5 follow the guide properly marked in red and remember to tick re partition in odin, if this doesnt work then your phone has been affected by sds due to 4.1.1 rom so u need to take it to service for motherboard replacement which is borne by samsung so no worries, and remember never to use a 4.1.1 rom in note 2 get the 4.1.2 rom or rather they will install that only this time and in future just go through dr.ketan thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 here it will guide you perfect instead following some untidy guides
for odin use 3.04 it works great though i havent tried new version as 3.04 works great you will get it in ketan thread

Thanks for the advice i am downloading the file now.
I did not manage to install the rom i suggested i was using so i don't think that could have been the issue. My phone just seemed to get hot then stop working, i hope as you suggested it is not my motherboard. Did you say that i should still be covered by the warrenty even though i had rooted my device?

well your reply is quite confusing
1.did you manage to flash the rom with pit in odin. was it successful or you get any errors
2.does your phone start now
3.if not then your phone has died and it needs to be taken to service guys ,but just check what the status of your phone in download mode is it official or custom . if its official then no worries just go ahead and take it to service guys and tell them abt your issue that the phone stopped working while in pocket dont info them that you rooted it ever just make them blv that it was a sds caused by 4.1.1 rom so they replace it free.
i mean your motherboard
Sorry if i am confusing matters.
I did not manage to flash anything it was just coming up with failed no PIT partition.
Current binary samsung official
My system status is custom
Are these ok to return my phone with?
I decided to take the advice offered and download the recovery but got confused.
Do i need all of the files from that link or just 1?
I downloaded the first one N7100XXDMB2_Factory
It contained
boot
cache
hidden
modem.bin
recovery
sboot.bin
system
tz
None of these are the md5 format
i am now thinking i should have downloaded XXDLJ2_OXA_Factory
Is that correct or was i right with the first file. If i was right downloading the first file then where do i get the md5 files required for odin to do my factory restore.
Know these are very noobish questions just doint want to do anything wrong
In answers to your questions....
1) Did i manage to flash the rom with it in odin
No
I got confused which files i should be using and did not want to do anything without being sure
2) My phone does not start
3) When i am in download mode my phone shows
Current binary Samsung official
My system status is custom

If your phone doesn't have a partition map, then no, you can't.
You can try, as a last resort, using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43760271&postcount=22
I had a similar problem not too long ago (although it started with all apps crashing and then stuck at bootscreen) and managed to fix my phone.

EFS is a part of the system that stores your serial number, IMEI and everything related to your phone specifically. You are generally able to back it up using a custom recovery or using software on your PC while the phone is rooted and booted on the android OS. Since you cannot boot into recovery and also can't boot into android itself, I don't think you would be able to back it up.
If you ever installed a custom rom with AROMA, there is a chance you have it backed up already. But if you don't explicitly remember...

I get the error message write operation failed in ODIN, i am guessing that means its dead.
Do you happen to know if i take it back to my phone company to fix if they will be able to tell i had rooted it
on the download screen i have
Current binary samsung official
My system status is custom
could they tell anything from that?

If you can get into recovery you can wipe/factory reset and that should get you past boot loop. your other option is to flash stock via Odin.

You can enter download mode and reflash stock image with Odin. If you were running the stock rom you may not lose your data. Let me know if you don't know how to do this and I will direct you. It seems that something has become corrupted, but Odin will fix that

After flashing Odin you should have access to the 3e recovery. Unless something is wrong with your hardware (Volume broken?), I can not see why you would not be able to enter recovery.
You can also try this tool to boot a custom kernel with recovery attached. Here is a forum with a similar problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011636&highlight=i9300

You can download an Odin flashable recovery from here. http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d2att. you will want the .tar file.
Beyond this i'm running out of ideas. Not too sure if this will work if you have gone stock with Odin as it may have taken root from you. Worth a try though.
Maybe an emergency recovery through Kies... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984717
Beyond that try Odin again and re download the stock Rom from a different source. You may have gotten a bad download. I have read of it happening. Maybe even an older firmware or Canadian one (i'm assuming you're ATT): http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-I747

Hello everyone! This is my first post here, actually ive been here just for stalking and follow tutorials. this forum is the best for me and helped me a lot. But, 2 days ago, I got an issue that cant be solved by me by refering threads. So I decided to register to forum, and ask by myself.
Here's the problem.
"There has been sudden booting while I was using Facebook on my device, while I reboot it, it stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note II -GTN7100" after a while, it reboot again. It happened suddently. It happens continously untill now. It has been 2 days I search through the forum but none can help me."
My device details while the problem occur :
ROM : Paranoid Android 3.99 RC2
Recovery : TWRP 2.6.3.0
kernel : stock
and my device can turn into download mode, and TWRP. but only cant boot into ROM.
I did try to flash many ROM via TWRP. And do fresh format.(Clean evrything via TWRP). Install various ROM and it seemed cant help to boot into the ROM.
I also try to flash stock from SAM, via Odin, but it helpless.
I also discovered that is not the power button issue, as i can boot into recovery without restarting by itself. So I think it is not about the power button.
I tried to use other recovery, and flash CWM via Odin, but cant get to CWM recovery mode. I also tried to flash stock recovery, but same as CWM. Only TWRP is working on my phone.
I searched thorugh the forum, and many ask to do factory reset, but it helpless for me.
Thanks everyone for any suggestion! and dont ask me to go to Samsung centre as my device warranty is expired.:cyclops:

The only thing i can suggest here is use odin and Flash 4.1.2..
after flashing it will reboot.. go to stock recovery and do a wipe..
that should help i guess..!

does it say anything about efs or pit being corrupted
well flash this http://d-h.st/fWr and try install any custom rom and get back with the result
and what about philz recovery that does not work even http://d-h.st/iII
Try flash cf-auto root through odin. Usually the phone will successfully booting after the auto root process done.

well it seems its time to it to service guys it should have booted fine or maybe the pit partition damaged is not letting it boot
if u have tried solving that way then finally to ss
flash pit partition http://d-h.st/Dlv,then flash the firmware stock
I read through the thread and was about to say what the above poster suggested. Make sure you tick repartition in Odin when you've input the pit file.

Sadly solve
Hello everybody.... I assumed that this topic now shall be closed since I sadly solved it.
The solution :
After trying stock ROM and cant enter stock recovery, I tried many official rom 4.1.2 and many custom rom, but nothing can help.
So I decided to go to Samsung centre, then they tried to flash with their own odin, so the same thing happened. After a few checkings, ive been told that my motherboard got problem. So I need to change a new motherboard but I dont want.
So, i decided to buy a brand new phone that same price as the new motherboard =.= .... Thanks to all that trying to help me especially mr Ankit.. Many2 thanks and i appreciate it.. Taking 3 days without sleeping to figure it out seems helpless..
If there are any possible solution, please share to me since Im still following this thread..

Solved: Motherboard problem
anasceym said:
Hello everybody.... I assumed that this topic now shall be closed since I sadly solved it.
The solution :
After trying stock ROM and cant enter stock recovery, I tried many official rom 4.1.2 and many custom rom, but nothing can help.
So I decided to go to Samsung centre, then they tried to flash with their own odin, so the same thing happened. After a few checkings, ive been told that my motherboard got problem. So I need to change a new motherboard but I dont want.
So, i decided to buy a brand new phone that same price as the new motherboard =.= .... Thanks to all that trying to help me especially mr Ankit.. Many2 thanks and i appreciate it.. Taking 3 days without sleeping to figure it out seems helpless..
If there are any possible solution, please share to me since Im still following this thread..

Continuing from my above post, I also faced the same situation...Samsung service center guys told me that my motherboard needs to be replaced and it would cost Indian Rs.7400/-, so I am going ahead with the replacement, as now also a new note 2 costs min. Rs.22k in India. And at the Rs.7500/- price point even the new 'Android One' phones launched by Google are no where near to the punch packed by Note 2.
Hope this post helps other beleaguered souls like me.

Pity, mate- but I think motherboard change will in fact provide you a new phone. Samsung has used some third party components that have not been so reliable. New motherboard will have aproven components.

Hi Guys, I have had a tab 3 passed to me to take a look at its an sm-t210 and I am really struggling to get it working.
I can boot to download mode and I can boot to stock recovery mode but it wont actually the OS load up.
I have tried flashing the stock rom from sams and my eyes actually sting from reading so many posts on this now.
The furthest I can get is rebooting after flashing the stock firmware then its stuck on the system recovery with E failed to verify whole-file signature, signature verification failed.
I have tried with the latest 4.4.2 to the 4.1.2 and it just gets stuck in to a boot loop as only half the installation is completing.
Tried pretty much everything and just at the end of my tether now
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you kindly in advance

What Customrecovery you have installed with Odin? Can you post a Screenshot of your Recovery and which Rom you want to install ( Name and Downloadlink )
Thank you kindly!

Hi, Thank you for getting back to me..
I have not installed a custom recovery, it is the stock from samsung-updates.com 7.0_WiFi/SM-T210/BTU/T210XXBNI1 (4.4.2) I have been trying to get working but that just goes in to a hard repeating boot up loop once finished in oden that wont let me access recovery.
I have re flashed with samsung-updates.com 7.0_WiFi/S_M-T210/BTU/T210XXAMKF (4.1.2) which gets me a little further as it then spits up a signature verification error while trying to update in the stock recovery program.
I have tried numerous others from reading through posts on here and they all fail at the signature verification or get stuck in a repeating boot up loop.
I cant post links yet as I am a new member, I can take screen shots though i think if you need them for reference.
Thank you kindly in advance
Please tell me , you are The first owner, or is a second Hand one.?
Wy i ask , at Download you can See The Staus as Custom, so it was modified.
Try a factory reset, Wipe cache from The recovery and try to reboot.

It belongs to my friend's son who had it new and I am unsure what exactly he has done to it. I was just given it to try repair as I am usually quite sharp at fixing things.
Yes I noticed that box says custom but was unsure as I have already tried doing factory reset and wipe cache I thought it would return it to stock but it seems to have no effect.
OK, my last idea,
1.Download a customrom for exp. Nolekat to a ext.Sdcard and put this to your Tab
2.Download a Custumrecovery lastet Version ( The one with KK extension ) to your PC i prefere CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853
3.go into Download mode and follow the Guide from the link.
4. Important , after flashing with Odin boot with the 3 Buttons to the Recovery and flash the Customrom.
Good luck and a happy New year 2015

The Cwm is the Version 6.0.4.9 KK ? Important is KK.
Have you tried to flash the Nolekat with ext.Sdcard Form the Recovery and than try to reboot?
A other important question, repartion was unchecked by Odin !
Can you go to the Download mode?

I have not got an external SD card yet though I am about to go out and will pick one up.
yes, I can get in to download mode and I can also get in to the other mode when the stock rom is flashed.
I have not given up yet and I have not repartition or anything damaging in Odin
Will get stuck in to it and have another go soon, thank you kindly for all the advice and help so far too! )
Happy new year!

Ok here is where I am at. I was unable to get an external SD card today. Is there any other way to get this device working?
When I flash T210_CWM_6.0.4.9.KK.tar.md5 it does not let me access recovery mode, it just hangs on a black screen but I can still get to download mode.
I have to re flash Stock rom so it gives me back recovery mode but does not complete as shown before with screenshot.
I am just going around in circles now and about to tell my friend he needs to get a new one sadly.
Updated screen shot
This is its current state in recovery mode after flashing stock rom.
Try doing a factory reset there in the recovery and wipe the cache. Then see if it will reboot.
Tried everything pretty much..

Okay, so you're in stock recovery. You need to reboot to download mode. Next you need to flash a custom recovery with Odin. I recommend TWRP. You also need to download the most recent supersu zip. Once you're in the custom recovery of your choice, flash the supersu zip and reboot. Congratulations, you are now on rooted stock!

Thank you but i have tried that already. Same result, i cannot get in to custom recovery after flashing it, i can then only get back in to download mode and this aching process repeats over and over.
I am throwing in the towel, this device is bust.
Thank you all for your efforts
Hi good people! thanks in advance, I had a problem for about a month now where my phone (Note2) used to take about 15 min to boot, after trying many solutions, I read somewhere to delete ODEX files and after trying that in many ways I went to system/apps and deleted ODEX files there with Root Explorer which turned out to be a biiig mistake, it just stucks at the Samsung Logo for a few seconds before it starts again (only the logo, the phone doesn't reboot) and it stays like that forever. I'm in hell right now, I have some files I don't want to lose so I was afraid of factory reseting but after I was told that it won't delete them, I did but that didn't solve anything, I can't access download mode, I can access recovery mode however (not custom) I tried flashing a custom ROM but I just get "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" please help ! I'll be really thankful ! thank you !
EDIT: I hope this helps someone else, after trying everything, what eventually worked for me was the USB Jig, I was able to enter download mode and install a new ROM from there. good luck!

If you know your rom load, flash it back on to your device without any wiping. It should load the needed files back on your system. Though any system mods will be lost.
The other option is to go into aroma from your custom recovery and grab your needed files over to your extsd card

Thanks for the reply, the problem is that I don't have a custom recovery and when I try to flash a new ROM it tells me "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" ...
Well the only option is download mode and try loading the same factory rom you have on your device. Or a newer version, if available. Some different regions have updates.
Can't use stock recovery to flash a custom rom.
You have access to a USB jig? What happens when you try to enter download mode?

Remove the battery for a few seconds, replace the battery and quickly hold down the home and volume down button.

Without being able to enter download mode means you can't flash a stock rom via Odin. Maybe order a jig from eBay or try yo make your own. Either way, a jig us a good tool to have when flashing Samsung phones.

Is there any other way to fix this problem without a USB jig. ADB or something
Not sure that adb will allow you to side load a rom.

oh okay, Is installing a new ROM the only solution there is ? if it is, is the USB jig the only way to flash it? thank you !
Installation of a custom ROM but that requires a custom recovery. The easiest method would be to flash TWRP with Odin or possibly TWRP via flashify. Problem is that the phone can't enter download mode or boot the ROM.
I recommend buying or making a USB jig. If you don't want to wait, you could take the phone to a repair shop and have it flashed via jtag.
