[Q] Soft brick, neverending booting / boot loop. Am i doing this right? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys.
So i flashed a few roms lately. started with EmotionMiUi then CM10, Omega, Alliance and well a few more.
i did a full wipe and cleared all caches each times and only had a few minor problems with the different ROMS that i was able to fix.
So i now returned to MiUi and have had it running for about a week. Tried some DPi modding yesterday, and did notice that it took longer time to boot and boot into recovery. i flashed the Xpose DPi remover, and continued using my phone. i have rebooted about 3 times today. And the last reboot caused the phone to enter the eternal "Samsung Galaxy Note II - N7100" boot static "animation".
Now i have tried pulling the battery several times, tried booting into recovery and the only thing that will let me boot into anything is power + home + volume down.
i have obtained the official samsung firmware ROM for my phone.
is my way ahead to "just" flash it using Odin, and i will have my good times back ?

Maybe try to clear Data and Cache partitions first?

Just to clear you're stuck at the start screen( the screen it shows Note 2 and model number)?
If so, then i have no clue
If your phone goes in a bootloop ( startscreen then samsung logo animation, blank screen, start screen, samsung logo animation...) I have faced this issue while flashing Stock ROMs and you can clear this by doing a factory reset though i have no clue whether this is the correct one for MIUI ROM.

i was stuck at the very first startscreen that just stayed there. i had been messing around with some DPi and a lot of tweaks.
i used Odin from my PC to flash the official firmware, then i used Philz recovery to format and clean before flashing my MiUi V5 ROM.
ALL works great.

[HELP] Stuck on Samsung Logo

Already searched in some areas of the forum, but nothing helpful.
I have got a N7100XXDLL4 Note 2. It has a H3G Italian Rom (as i've taken in a H3G store).
All of those useless apps... it's an umbearable pain.
So... i decided to change that rom to another one.
I don't remember all the steps i've done... but surely i've used the toolkit of mskip and all go flawlessly. No Fails or something.
I've noticed that CWM (or TWRP) while loading causes a "tremolo" screen all vibrating on the first "Galaxy Note 2 Gt N7100" screen
nevermind...
Cwm loaded, full wipe, rom installed (ParanoidAndroid, to be precise) and rom started
I've noticed that the rom... in charging... doesn't show the bootscreen or welcome screen (it was all black, and i've got to tap on the capacitive buttons to understand if the device was on or off) then... pressing home buttons several times screen wake up in the pin code (without the classic config wizard).
Several soft reboot to get the rom doesn't manifest that black screen problem, nothing
Several tries to get the rom working properly flashed, but nothing
So... i don't remember all the steps i've done with the toolkit... but now changing roms it causes a stuck on the bootscreen/samsung logo
Tried to find a solution and someone used this thread, but again nothing useful.
I need a solution to perform a FULL reset of the phone (any rom, any firmware) with odin, kies, whatever.
Doesn't matter if the flash counter is down or not
Thanks for reading and sorry for my bad english
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088809
Thanks in advance, i'll try it very soon
thanks mate... problem solved with Kies!!!
(it was stucked again in the blue pulsing logo, but once in recovery mode after a cache/data wipe, it started without problems)
Many many thanks... life solver ^^

Thats only you needed after flashing any ROM at first place.
Coming from a SGSII and never done a full wipe after flash
(always done before flashing.. good to know so i'm always learning)
thanks to all of you!

[Q] HTC Desire HD boots but black screen afterwards

So I have a rooted HTC desire HD with Jellytime on it. All was working great till recently when it would shut down by itself. Today after I wanted to test a new boot screen from Rom toolkit I restarted it and while the boot screen worked great after it finished I see a black screen (backlit so I know its on). I tried going to the bootloader but after I try to go to wipe cache for example it restarts by itself and it gets stuck after the boot screen... Any ideas?
ok an update seems that if I go to the recovery via down button and power it lets me do actions. All this time I went to recovery mode when phone was shut down and plugged into a power source. I did a wipe cache and now it says android is upgrading and now it finished saying starting apps. Hope it didnt get stuck there because it keeps doin the cycle animation but doesn't do anything else.. I ll leave it be for a bit like this... :/ Had to restart it by removing the battery after 20 minutes... same problem as before still...
another update... just before it goes to a black screen when the boot screen finishes an orange light appears just briefly (where the green light appears when it charges)
Wipe everything (system data cache) and install a stock-ish ROM. What happens?

I flashed the rom again and wiped data and all seem to be ok now. I ll update this because I saw many people have similar problems... thanks in advance for any help!
Have the same problem.
I bought this with the problem that it keeps rebooting all the time.
I unlock the bootloader with htcdev,root with Easy Ace Tool,flashed the new cyanogenmod 11,
but did the same .
At least 3-4 rebooting before open normally.
I said that it must be ROM issue and flashed the KK-LegacyCarbon-4.4.
Did the things should be...flash the ROM and then the boo.img separately.
Now i have black screen and the only screen i am able to get is bootloader and the recovery 4EXT.
I reflased cyanogenmod back but nothing happened,any thoughts???

Stuck at Samsung splash screen.

Hi,
I recently tried installing the new 4.3 update onto my Samsung Galaxy S3 I747. Also, I never rooted my phone and my carrier is Telus if that matters.
When my phone finished updating, it lead to the lock screen. Just as I was about to enter my pin and unlock it, the phone restarts and gets stuck on the Samsung splash screen. I have tried entering into recovery mode and then wiping the cache and restarting it, but no luck.
I do not wish to restore my phone back to factory settings because I do not want to lose my music and apps. Is there a solution that can fix it without wiping the memory?
Thanks.
edit: i left it charging for a few minutes while it was stuck on the samsung splash screen, and then it went to the lockscreen and restarted it self
... i have to wait five minutes before i can save my edit
editedit: it just went to lockscreen for a second again
editeditedit: its going back to lockscreen quite often and restarting it self

When you got it into recovery did you try to wipe data/factory reset??
But to be honest it sounds like your phone is soft bricked maybe. I'm experiencing the almost same problem with my AT&T sgh-i747. Mine is stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S III screen and doesn't go any further than that at all.
You will most likely have to do that same thing I am doing which is reflashing android 4.3 via odin. It may work for you, I'm pretty sure it'll work for mine. Head over here and read this thread and see if this can help if not let me know and we'll come up with somethin else to help you fix your phone. (If I'm correct following this thread and flashing via odin will not erase and of your data.)
Your only other real option is to install the 4.3 MJ2 leak via heimdall. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2496425
Heimdall will flash odin files. http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall But odin will not flash heimdall files. It works much like odin flash in download mode so i'm told. I'm trying to figure it out now. I hope this helps.
I was never able to get the above Heimdall installed correctly on my pc. I am still stuck at the black and white galaxy s3 screen. I installed TWRP via odin to try my to run my nandroid i made earlier today and it says successful. But when I go to reboot It says No OS are you sure you want to reboot. I was already on 4.3.3 via the OTA update like you. And now i'm here turn phone on and it's going straight to download mode

[Q] help, stuck in boot mode at samsung screen

I've been running a rooted pm-600 with clean rom for a week now. I decided to try the new megablast rom and after carefully following install instructions (all wiping done and zip install via twrp2.6.3.3.) I was stuck at the Samsung screen in the boot mode. After giving it some time and not getting past the Samsung screen, I tried restarting and the same thing happened. I used was able to go to download mode and used odin on my pc to flash back the stock rom, but I am still stuck at the Samsung screen. I get the galaxy note 10.1 2014 splash screen, the start up music, blue circle, but then it just hangs at 'samsung'. I have tried restoring stock twice now with the same results. Any ideas :crying:

The only avialable option for you now is getting into stock recovery, wiping data , cache & dalvik., you will loose your data on your internal card, but no other choices.
Thanks for the advice. I discovered that this was in part triggered/or perhaps caused by the failure of a brand new Samsung micro sdxc card. Very frustrating, had just gotten it the day before and all my recent nandroid backups were on it Appreciate the help

My phone always resets itself (really urgent)

Hello dear friends.I have a really boring problem about my phone.It has been installed a Cyanogenmod 11 on the phone for about a year.And suddenly it started to restart itself.Once it starts it always continues to do that like a boot loop.Anyway
-I tried to wipe dalvik and the cache.And it worked for one day.Then it started to do it again.So i tried to format the rom from philz recovery.It didnt work.
-Sometimes it restarts after i enter the pin code.So i tried to remove it.But the problems occurs anyway.
-I had a backup and i restored it.Although i restored the rom it continued to restart.
-Finally i downloaded an original samsung rom and flashed it by odin.But nothing changes.
first screen appears, then a samsung boot screen comes by a sound tone and samsung emblem shows itself.Then it restarts.So it goes to a bootloop.Alway goes between the first screen and samsung boot screen.I never see pin code entry screen.What do you think for the problem?Might it be a hardware problem?
Did you perform a factory reset using stock recovery before booting the phone for the first time after flashing stock?
Tried starting with and without being connected to a charger?
Samsung note 2 n7100 stopped at logo , when I install wrong recovery .img by flashify and the device unconnected to odin
