Hello.. So today I attempted to flash a new version of TWRP for installing cleanrom and it bricked my phone. I can get into download mode though
So using ODIN i've been trying to install custom recoveries. Everytime it says pass, but I cannot get a recovery to show up. If I hold up, power and home buttons, the Galaxy note 2 will flash (as if its about to load a recovery) but then just goes back to galaxy note 2 screen. I can still make it to download mode, but cannot seem to get anywhere else.
Also, currently there is no rom on my phone.
Please help!
Thanks,
AC

Maybe use odin to start over fresh? Is the recovery separate from the kernel in the Note II?

I think it is separate. The last thing I had was beanstalk with neak kernel. Then I wiped everything (not sure if that affect kernel or not) to prepare for cleanrom.
How do I use odin to start fresh?
Thanks!

Install a factory image (probably with root and custom recovery) then proceed to flash whatever from there.

Okay thanks,
I will have to try this after work. This may be a stupid question, but if anyone knows a good location where I can find this that would be really helpful.
I can search around for it more later.
Thanks
I bet Google knows.

SamMobile is a great site for firmwares.
After the screen turns on, let go of power and continue to hold up and home. Try it out.

Thanks.. I'm downloading from Sam Mobile now on my laptop at work.
And thanks for the tip. I will try this out as soon as I get home. I really hope my phone isn't pertinently bricked!

when you're "bricked" that means you can NOT get into download mode, so you are NOT bricked....

Oh sorry, I wasn't sure what the term bricked actually encompassed. I guess I was stuck in bootloop then.
Well, good and bad news. I got out of the bootloop, and finally got twrp installed on my phone. I did a recovery of beanstalk and also a fresh install of cleanrom. While they boot, they both have been going extremely slowly. Also just loading into recovery is taking super long. I don't know why. I am also not getting any signal, I can however connect to wifi. Anyone have any ideas or any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks again!
hey
if you can get into download mode try this find your provider and phone model and download the firware the nice thing this has root already installed so then you can just download goo and install twrp easy i always use this

Just tried it out and it had the same problem. installed with ODIN no problem, but I still have no signal and it is still running very choppy.
When I go to mobile networks in settings it tells me "Insert SIM card to access network services" I have a sim and have tried reinserting it multiple times. I don't know whats going on. Also, it seems I do not have any internal storage. It says 200mb in storage that are fully used. When I have cleared everything but the rom.
I may attempt to return the phone tomorrow.

nope a lot of people have that problem you have to remove your sim card and sd card and flash again then reboot i have seen people do this 3 times to clear all the bad flashes stuck on there phones make sure to factory reset too after by being off then hold down home power and volume up when you see the words pop up let go of all but volume up get into the system setting there factory all and restart then once you give it about 10 min put you sim card and sd card back and before wipe the sd card it has been know to cause some problems if that all doesn't work then ya maybe there is something else
good luck
Dear community,
i have a reboot problem with my gnex gsm for several weeks now. The phone seems to be rebooting randomly after freezing. The only situation where no reboot occurs is when it is attached to the pc via usb docking station in developer mode.
Ususally, i had cyanogenmod nightlies installed, but i also tried stock 4.2.2 and 4.3 images. Moreover i tried several full wipes using cwm and twp recovery. After the last wipe, I did not recover anything using titanium backup. At the moment i am running on 4.3 stock image and stock recovery with no root. Bootloader is still unlocked. The phone keeps rebooting...
Has anybody an idea where to locate the problem (probably some certain log files) ?
My GNex had that problem. It started with random reboots. Then got into a boot loop from which it never recovered.
Good luck. Hope you don't have the same fate that I had.
Try flashing back to stock and lock and unlock bootloader. If that doesn't stop the reboots, IMO, time to look for a new phone.
Edit : You might want to send it to Samsung for repair, if you are still under warranty.

I've already tried your suggestion, but it didn't help.

Already tried that, i have a replacement battery. By the way, the reboot problem also occurs when charging from the normal power supply. Only the usb connection with debug mode avoids rebooting.
Thank you for your advice.

Yes, it is not distiguishable from the original one.
I was hoping, that there can be any hint in some sort of log file or something.
Have you tried booting into safe mode to see if it is an app issue?

Are you using the original cable to charge it? I've had problems where using cheap ebay cables made the touchscreen all jumpy and needed a reboot to fix. I changed to the original cable and it never happened again. Dont know if you could have a similar problem but with random reboot.

I'm using both the original cable and two docking stations from amazon, one with ac/dc adaptor and one with usb. The phone always reboots no matter if it is charging or not. Only when connected to usb in debug mode, there is no reboot.

I reflashed with the Nexus Root Toolkit the factory image, so I guess it made automatically the flash-all.bat.

So What was the hardware issue because i have the same problem and out of warranty..... And I would like to repair the phone.
If the costs aren't to high.
It is happening to my gnex since yesterday.
I was on shiny Rom and all of a sudden it began rebooting randomly.
Looking at the last_kmsg I found a kernel panic related to I/o error of the ext4-fs (or something similar).
I performed several wipe, thinking of a kernel issue.
It continued rebooting randomly so I completely reset to stock 4.3 including format of sdcard.
I have the feeling that reboots began when the sdcard began to fill.
I also re_locked the bootloader, but reboots still occur.
It is probably a faulty Emmc chip, I will go to the store for warranty.

Hello everybody
I have a problem with my phone, today I installed a game, Plants vs Zombies 2, and after a few minutes I was playing the phone has rebooted. Since that time at start up, after 15/20 seconds the phone reboots again.
I tried to do a hard reset but I have not solved anything.
A couple of days ago I flashed the firmware France "H", so I tried to flash an Italian firmware and I redid the hard reset but it has not solved anyway. (Now I have an "unknow IMEI")
I'm trying to do a restore with LG support tool, but the battery was too low then try again later.
*EDIT*
LG support tool has restored the original firmware (brand vodafone), but still no imei and reboots
Any other tips? Could you help me please
thaks!
Do you have freegee backup folder saved if you ever used it to unlock boot loader.
If yes restore it. Seems you have messed up efs.

I do not understand why the phone reboots (and after i flashed the 10h firmware the phone worked fine for 2 days).
Without imei phone should not make calls.
I can not even flash another firmware because in the process the phone reboots and after a few seconds and the phone will reboot again before the process is finished
exactly the problem i have right now , sent it to over 4 shops , all couldn't fix it , said i had to send it back to lg to fix it , but lg is asking me for 300$ to fix it ( , im phoneless atm.
It seems is mainboard issue.hardware problems can't be fixed by software solutions....

Hey, i flashed CM11 about half a year ago. The last Saturday (20/12), it started to go in an infinite loop. First it could boot in apps, but then it crashes all the time. So What I 've tried:
Reset factory data/davlik/cache
Flashing another rom via Recovery
Bring back to stock via bootloader (cmd+fastboot)
Downloading mode (ODIN)
OmapFlash
Nothing made even a little change to my phone. It boots in the same OS, and it crashes all the time. It's like its in a readonly mode. It's like it has the program for PC Deep Freeze, that restores your phone to its first condition in every simple reboot. Can you help me plz?

If the images appear to flash properly in fastboot, but you are still on the same ROM, then I would suspect your NAND is toast.

Yes, it's your devices internal flash memory. It looks like there is something wrong with it. (Others have had similar issues in the past.) So, yes, it looks like it's a hardware issue and there's nothing you can do yourself to fix it.

hi, I need some help, i'm desperate.
I was using a bad charger, when my phone was in low battery, so it turned off my phone (charging > not charging) three times. In the third boot, the CM logo just froze up, and the phone didn't boot anymore. It appears Lenovo's logo and then the screen turns black and i'm not able to press any button. I tried to: wipe everything, flash another rom, but the same still happening. I flashed stock rom too, but it gives me a bootloop. I tried to use a TWRP's backup from stock rom, but it didn't work either.
Any help? I don't know what to do

Since you flashed a stock rom , flash a new twrp using adb and fastboot and wipe everything except system . BTW a simple reboot (or three) cant damage system. Try checking battery too if you could

1) Main problem is Battery backup. It won't last long a day.
2) Stock ROM Really sucks
There is no heating issue though. It has been solved by latest updates

Try entering to TWRP by using the hardware keys. Do this:
Pull down the battery.
Insert again.
Press power key, volume up and volume down at the same time, until lenovo logo dissappear.
If luck, you are into TWRP now.
connect phone to computer via usb cable. you should be able to access to internal memory.
So, copy into it any custom ROM previously downloaded from your computer, and flash it. That's all.

Bootleggers has some bugs, like WhatsApp not being able to play GIFs or videos. Also, after a while in the day, launcher becomes laggy (maybe a kernel settings issue). You have to reboot and becomes smooth and fast again.
I highly recommend LOS 15.1 or AEX 5.6 from Harry (yes, he is continuing the development!) Both of them have June updates.
I'm on AEX right now, which is such a marvelous ROM. It has a looot of customizations than any other ROM I've tried.
How to get them?
Search into the Harry8242 profile from AFH.

LOS 15.1 is fine but has some bugs too(camera zoomer not working).
I've finally decided to use a STOCK ROM and there is a complication, here is the problem:" I'm using lenovo downloader software to flash and once my phone is connected, the progress bar gets stuck at the begining level and says:"Flashing" below the status bar and " Sahara "- which have no idea what means- below the step bar and it also takes too much time to do the flashing which is never done! I have the same problem with QFIL( Sahara Fail )!

I've finally decided to use a STOCK ROM and there is a complication, here is the problem:" I'm using lenovo downloader software to flash and once my phone is connected, the progress bar gets stuck at the begining level and says:"Flashing" below the status bar and " Sahara "- which have no idea what means- below the step bar and it also takes too much time to do the flashing which is never done! I have the same problem with QFIL( Sahara Fail )!

Glad to hear that! So, you've decided to stay on stock ROM. OK, it has sense. stock firmware is free of bugs, right? Now, do you know being on stock LL you can "update" to MM and thus get doze and adaptive storage?
How?
Follow this guide:

and you'll get the most updated official stock ROM available four our device. Actually, it's a backup made by an Brazilian user, where you should restore only system and boot partitions, in order to keep your data.
This update was only released for Brazil region, but, users from other regions in the thread, reported it worked for them.
I've tried it once, and worked like a charm.
