Boot loop after OTA update. Help :( - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys had an Ota update for my note and clicked install.. Bear in mind my phone is rooted and I used triangle away to get OTAs. Everything was stock though
It boots to the n7100 logo and that's it... help

sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=154 also found this
Will this work?

Try reboot to recovery and wipe cache and data
If doesn't work then flash full rom using odin

Help, stuck in a boot-loop

I rooted my Note II with SU. I have not flashed any roms, still running stock. The problem is this: I downloaded Triangle Away and reseted counter. Then I uninstalled it, and did a full unroot with SU. Status still said "modified" so I then did a hard reset of the phone. Now, it's stuck in a boot-loop wth the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" logo.
I have no idea what to do, and I guess I had no idea what I was doing. Please help me out!
wipe data and cache in recovery mode
I had the same unfortunate situation with you pal. I tried ti root my note 2 before and same things you did then bootloop occured. What I did was I downloaded my firmware and flashed via odin in pc. I cannot go to recovery before that.. now everything is fine. I will never try to root again unless I really needed it. Hoped I helped you

How do I do that?
Go into recovery and select factory reset.
If that doesn't help just flash any rom released January onwards

Thanks, I have tried but does not seem to be able to enter recovery mode.
Flash stock firmware. Look for ketan's thread in original development section.

What recovery did you use? Did you try install a different recovery? Or this is the only method you try?..... So I have to go back to completely stock and root again to get rid of this problem? :good: :good: :good:

Yes, full stock.
This root method does not put a custom recovery on, so you have to get one
I use TWRP.
Get Twrp through Goomanager (play store) and get CWM through Rom Manager (also Play store)

The exact same thing happens to me. I used twrp 2.5.0.2 to flash the rom. Everything is fine on first boot but the next time I restart I get the stuck on Samsung logo. It seems twrp or infamous is not working nicely together (infamous s4 v3.6 that is). Only solution is to Odin back to stock and flash something different.

People that had this problem, had you ever get stuck in this problem AGAIN?! I'm afraid this will happen again when I root it and install custom ROMs to my phone.

in need of major help

so i updated to 4.3 but really didn't like cause it was draining my battery. I went to odin to go back to 4.1.2 and now it wont't complete it always abort. On phone it say system status custom, knox warranty void 1. Then it will say unsupported version so i guess its talking about the stock 4.1.2 tar. Some have any idea what to do?
Some one help me please in odin mode every time it gets to sboot.bin that's where it fails.

Just to make sure you did the ota update to 4.3 and tried to flash back to 4.1.2 or you were on a 4.3 rom? I will follow steps but don't i need to root before i flash a custom recovery? If so im screwed cause i won't be able to turn on debug mode or what need to be turned on in developer options.
Even on stock, just go to settings, Other, about device, scroll down to build, tap on build 5 times and it will unlock developer mode for debugging.

i can't do nothing that's why i'm asking him stuck in emergency mode.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2clvyo4y6gar6s/4.3_Unbrick.tar download this file and flash it, you did exactly what I did and this worked for me
Use odin flash twrp recovery, then boot into twrp wipe caches and fatory reset then flash a stock 4.1.2 Rom that's what i did .. But the first time you wipe everything with twrp it might book back into twrp but just keep rebooting till it reboots to the stock room. Thats what i did now

Unbrick 4.3 after trying to downgrade and failing

I tried to downgrade after the update and failed. My phone was totally bricked, I tried flashing TWRP, Philz touch, and CWN and could not get into recovery or anything. I came home and opened sboot.bin with a hex editor and found that SEAndroid in 4.3 is what allows everything to boot and it is write protected, so what i did was copied the sboot.bin into a MC2 Flashable tar and flashed it with Odin, and it worked. I then flashed the update, flashed Phils touch recovery and rooted my fone, now I am on a completely rooted 4.3
Here is a link to the file I used to Unbrick/Downgrade: http://myfavoritecontractors.com/4.3_Unbrick.tar
Several other people have verified they were having the same problem and flashed this and it worked, they also told me to start this thread so others could fix their fone
im on 4.3 stock i tried rooting with auto root using Odin but it didnt want to root the phone, it worked on 4.1.2 stock but not on this 4.3.. which sucks because i want to go on a custom ROM right now like paranoid android but cant cause i dont know how to root my phone since its 4.3 stock :crying: lol smh
Download twrp tar file and flash it in Odin then flash a stock ROM. That's what I did .
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You are a god, worked flawlessly! I am going to wait for 4.3 via OTA this time instead of flashing the update though (didn't like the Easy Mode big icons etc)
Thank you for this, this is the only rom I can use to get away from the dreaded Kies error screen. However, I'm now stuck on the Samsung glowing boot screen. Any suggestions on how to fix?
Thank you
I have a MK4 tar that is flash able in Odin for those still looking to unbrick (and those who tried getting to my suspended Dropbox. ..) http://www.mediafire.com/download/7viivd985s7cp8l/L900VPUBMK4_L900SPTBMK4_HOME.tar.zip
After flashing a ROM or using Odin to flash firmware I highly suggest a data/cache wipe in recovery. 99.9% of the time it'll fix a bootloop (unless you've gone and corrupted partitions you had no business touching).

This is for a soft bricked note2, from trying to downgrade from mk4, meaning you can't get into recovery mode or anything past the samdung logo...just flash this with Odin and it'll reboot to stock, then I recommend flashing billards back to stock mc2

so i downloaded the file and used odin to flash. it got to cache.img and stopped.

You should be able to flash a custom recovery, flash twrp, then go into twrp recovery and flash (mc2 back to stock unrooted with counter reset) you should be able to find that pretty easy and download it
Other than that, if you get the failed update screen, you can use kies

[Q] Stuck at white AT&T load screen after trying to restore nandroid backup.

So I rooted my SG3, SGH-I747 last night. Took a bit of looking as I recently updated to 4.3 OTA which made the process more difficult than I remember in the past on this phone, but got it done. I then found a ROM to flash, but flash failed. Before flashing, I did take a nandroid backup using TWRP, but after attempting restore with it, on boot up it gets through the samsung logo and then just sits at the AT&T load screen. I have tried to go in and perform factory reset (wiping cache, dalvik and system), but nothing is working. I then downloaded 4.1.1 stock firmware for this device to flash via ODIN but I get a FAIL, and same result, stuck at AT&T screen. Did I brick my phone?????
Please Help!

Okay so I installed the stock 4.3 firmware, and it seemed that it was going to reboot, but does NOT boot up AT ALL.
Dammit.

Do not flash anything from sammobile because you're on AT&T and they don't have the 4.3 files there. You already updated to 4.3 if you do happen to successfully flash something older through Odin you will have a paperweight for a phone.
Try to do a factory reset. And 4.3 takes a really long time to boot after a factory reset or fresh flash. You will think it is stuck just plug it in to the charger and come back in 10 minutes so you can not be impatient. Let it do its thing. When I Say a long time the last time (yesterday) I flashed a Rom (stock by loserskater) it took 4 minutes and 22 seconds to boot(I timed it had nothing better to do after hard bricking the phone for the third time in a week)

Follow up on the issue.
Just so this thread didn't just stop, I wanted to give an update on my situation. Ended up hard tricking my phone and sent it off to get pba replaced. Should be getting it back soon, 70 dollars later.
Just happened
I tried to flash a new mod'd touchwiz launcher and tried to restore from a nandroid backup of dandroid.
After restoring stuck on boot logo.
Tried to wipe and restore again to no avail.
I put the rom back on the sd card and re-flashed and is up and working fine.
You might wanna try this (with your chosen rom).
