[Q] Stuck on pulsing SAMSUNG - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody and thank you in advance.
All started today i woke up this morning and my phone has the pulsing samsung logo and the green led of notification flashing.
I tried to restart it but nothing the same. my phone is charging ok.. and also when i am stuck in samsung logo it vibrates when i push the option button.
i can enter the recovery system menu but i want to know if there is a way to save some of my data ?
or my only option is to restore it.
My phone is rooted 3 months now

i just want to grab some files! before restore

u will need flash a custom recovery 1st then will be able to backup,
If you were on stock rom , I've noticed during Boot Loop if you flash the Stock rom will not wipe your data only Messages, contacts and Call log will be wiped.

If you follow my way you won't lose any files.
But you can backup everything via adb.

That's a kernel and not a recovery.
Download a recovery in .Tar format.
Flash it the same way you rooted.

any ideas?

from 1 i did the process 3 times

Firstly, before anyone can truly help you you need to mention your phone setup such as the Rom you're using, rooted/not rooted, etc.
If you're rooted and have a custom recovery then just wipe your system and dalvik cache partition and flash the same Rom again. All your personal files will still be intact.

thank you for your concern !
i mentioned that i am rooted i didnt say which rom because i am in custom ROM so i didnt think about it

Pull yur battery out. Put it back in and go into recovery by holding power + home button + volume up. Release power button on the first bootscreen. Maybe u pressed the volume down.

Download the latest version.
Do a mega wipe then install.
This will delete everything.
Always carry a efs backup though it won't delete efs.

it has happened to me a few times... dont panic, you can either press the power button for several seconds or remove the battery. then try again. if it stays like that, remove battery and open recovery, install the rom again... it should work then

In the installer crash rom instruction, i should wipe cache, factory reset, wipe dalvic. Is it do that again? Or just flashed again?

N7100 does not boot past start up screen

Hi All,
Couple days ago I tried to flash my note2 with mobile odin back to stock rom but something went wrong and since I have not been able to get past the welcome screen *Samsung Galaxy Note 2*. I can get into a recovery screen but I am unable to choose a new rom to flash with.
I ve tried to flash it with odin 3.07 and via kies but no joy.
At this stage I am quite desperate to get this resolved. Can anyone help me?
Download correct stock rom to pc. Mount SD Card in recovery. Transfer file. flash from recovery.
Flash stock rom via pc odin
make a nandroid bake up as soon as you root your phone next time.

Unfortunately I do not have that option. I only have volume up to continue or volume down to restart. When I go volume up the phone goes into download mode.
Yeah. Then you have to flash stock firmware.

True but i had to use Odin and every guideline said the filed had to color yellow while for me it stayed blue but i figured heck at the moment it's just a paperweight so I don't have a lot to loose.
Now Rooting it again and placing my nandroid back up back and I am all sorted.
Thank you again!

I lost my data anyway I had backed it up with titanium but ran into problems restoring it... Lesson learned to create an image of my Android once I got it sorted again.
Thanks
I had the same problem and almost had a heart attack thinking I bricked my phone when downgrading back to 4.1.1... Needless to say I just had to do a factory reset in recovery and it worked fine

odin recovery question

I just got a Note 2 and downloaded Odin and a TWRP recovery and tried to flash it but it doesn't say succeed until two minutes later after the phone completely reboots. When I reboot into recovery its still the stock recovery.

Did u root it before you flashed recovery? You didn't mention it. That needs to be done first

Didn't need to. I got it to work. I unchecked auto-reboot and it worked. All I did was flash the TWRP .tar and flash a rom. Rooting first was not needed.
Agreed...
Root is not needed if a user wishes to:
Make a pure stock backup....or current rom backup...
Flash another rom that already contains root...
Recovery is generally only needed for those functions anyway...(that's 90% of my time spent there)...
Everything else is a bonus....courtesy of our generous development team....g
Anyone know where I can get the most recent stock system and stock recovery tars to flash in Odin or what they're called? I have to go back to full stock.

[Q] CWM Recovery problem

Hi folks. Last night i backed up my excellent running CleanROM, messed around with a few other ROMs then wanted to go back to my backup. I did a clear and wipe cache of everything and restored the backup. It's really pokey, freezes, and the apps act like I've never opened them. Also as soon as I open the phone apps just start crashing. Any help? Thanks.
Corruption most likely.....try wiping caches in recovery first...and if no joy...
Wipe data/factoy reset...or clean install the rom again....
Also make sure to use the latest recovery versions....g

I will try that and I appreciate your reply. Can you tell me how to get rid of CWM and install TWRP? I've been meaning to do that forever but haven't found a walk through that made sense to me to do so. THanks again.

If you are able to get into your OS and can dl goo manager from google play.
You can flash twrp right over cwm.
Youll be glad you did.
TWRP FTW!!
Otherwise like posters above me said flash via odin.

No.
Odin is a tool. ODIN DOES NOT root your device. You use ODIN to root your device.
Same thing as rooting DOES NOT make your device faster. It allows you to run programs/tweaks to make your phone faster.

The only reason I dont do that freak boy, is that I live in canada and for sone reason it installed tolteatt when it shoulda gave me toltecan.
And rooting gives u the ability to read right to the partition.

All done guys. Thanks for the help. I never realized how useful novalauncher's backup was until yeesterday. flashed new version of Cleanrom and restored from Novalauncher backup and everything was just how I had it. Priceless. One thing i still can't get to work is booting to TWRP with button combo of any kind. Help? Thanks to all on the thread.
So are you saying you cant boot to recovery
Edit: does your rom allow you to boot to recovery from the shut down menu?
Also there is only ONE button combo for recovery:
Holding vol up, home and power all at once. Give it a sec or two.

The combo goes in this sequence. . Vol up, home then power.. hold till samsung logo, then release power.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about home screen backup and icon placement as well as widgets. Unless the apps you mention do that too. I haven't had a problem using Nova.

well in case of philz recovery flash were u sucessful in getting philz recovery if not did u noticed this lines in ketan thread
Note :
normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into android and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button until it reboots (normally will go to recovery)
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm
make sure usb debugging enabled on phone and disable anti virus .
