N7105t wont boot

Hi, new here and new to Android. My mate convinced me to jump ship from iPhone and get a Note II and I love it. The best phone I have ever had. But now I am way above my head here. I gained root with Chainfires CF Auto Root and installed mobile Odin. Installed a version of Aroma Rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093080
I installed everything and worked perfect but I didn't like the moto theme i installed within it so went back to mobile Odin to go through the process again but this time it is stuck at the loading screen. Gets passed the GT-N7105T screen and goes to the ANDROID load screen, but does nothing else.
I initially backed up my EFS but forgot to do the Nandroid. Really need help... Thanks in advance.

Is there any way I can do a restore or anything? I can get to the Vol Up, home, power and vol down, home, power menus. Go to work in about 1 hour so fingers crossed I can get some ideas at the end of my shift.

Try a factory reset/wipe data. See if it helps. Phone will be fresh with no data if it works

Thanks, tried that before but will do it again. ... Ok, so completed factory reset (through recovery mode) and then reboot. Wont go any further than the android load screen.

Is it possible to gain root access with cwm and flash another rom? Can't seem to do it from recovery mode with cf auto root.

There is a thread which have pre rooted stock roms but flashable via odin only. Correct me if im wrong. Try downloadbany of the chefs rom for yur model. Usually it comes rooted. Try n see if that helps. Other than that try repartition yur phone using pit file

Hi,
My guess is the ROM got stuffed somehow.
If you can get in to cwm recovery, try doing a full wipe and flashing a new ROM.
If u can't get in to cwn, download a stock rom for your model, from WWW.sammobile.com
Install Odin on your PC (it should come in the zip that the ROM came in)
Then boot your phone in to download mode (home button + volume down + power button )
Plug your phone in to PC
Open Odin, you should see a blue box showing your phones connected.
Now depending upon if the ROM is single or 3 file, u will need to do one of the following:
If its single file, select the PDA tab in Odin, and select the ROM u downloaded. Then click start.
If its 3 file, click on the tabs PDA, PHONE, CSC, and select the corresponding files with the same name.
Then click start.
The may also be a pit file in the ROM tar file, don't flash that. As it can cause a hard brick.
If what I said doesn't work, let me know, and the is a few other things u can try.
Cheers
Corey

Ah thanks so much guys. This is the exact info I have been searching for. I know its all been asked before, but trying to sift through the thousands of threads with thousands of posts is so frustrating when you can't find the answers. I have spent the last week researching and finally flashing a rom, then this happens. I thought my phone was a gonner!
Will give this a shot now. Fingers crossed.

Cant believe i didn't try this earlier. doing a firmware recovery through KIES and seems to be working so far.

Good to hear that. Just do a nandroid back up nxt time u flash anything just incase things like this goes wrong

Hi just wondering if someone could kindly shed some light on how to make a Full Nandroid backup of Samsung Galaxy Note II (N7105T) using Vodafone Australia Mobile Service. I have already rooted my phone using exynosabuse method from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032849 and I'm thinking of flashing the #hashcheck# rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093080. Thanks in advance for your response...

To make nandroid backup you First need to flash advanced recovery (cwm/TWRP)
After this you will have option to backup in recovery menu.

I have just installed ROM Manager v5.5.1.7 but when I try to flash ClockworkMod Recovery it says Unsupported device (Galaxy Note N7105T android base 4.1.1 DVALK3). However there is support for Galaxy Note N7105 but i just don't know whether this will work on my phone model (N7105T). Are there any other alternative methods available or has anyone here been able to backup the above phone model? Thanks in advance for your response

Hi,
I am pretty sure the n7105t and n7105 are the same, but just have different SARS values (work on different networks and need different rils and modems).
If that is the case, you could just download build prop editor from the android market, or just use a text editor, and change the device ID to n7105.
Then you could flash the recovery from ROM manager.
I used to have a galaxy s2 that was the T variant, and the only difference on that from the standard model was the sar values.
Alternatively you can just download a .tar recovery, and flash it thru Odin.
Cheers
Corey

[Q] S2X doesn't start

Hi, I have a SGH-T989D. Today, I edited build.prop to change phone model to S3 (SGH-I747M), in order to watch mobile TV (long story). However, when tried to reboot device, it doesn't start (actually screen just shows logo for a while, and turns to blank). I also have tried to take battery off and turned it again, but it is same situations over and over. Did I brick the phone? Please help. Many thanks!

No it's not bricked try wiping cache and dalvik then reboot. Else flash backup if you have one.

As long as you can make it to the logo you can restart it. Do you have cwm or twrp recovery? If not do know how to get into download mode? What you did is soft bricked your phone. It can be fixed though.

Hi, did "Wipe catch/Dalvik catch", but device still doesn't boot. My phone is running stock ROM, but just rooted. I didn't "back-up" when I rooted the phone. Any further solution? Many thanks!

Try this web site galaxys2root.com and look for how to unroot unbrick and follow the instructions.

Hi,
The easiest way to fix it is reinstall firmware using odin. Remember after this you need to root the phone again (that's easy)
Download the firmware specific for your device from samMobile. http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3
Flash it using odin. You can find information on how to use odin here on XDA. Just Search for it.
After flashing is done set up the phone and root it again.

Install drivers for phone to computer. Install odin. Then turn on phone power button in and both volume up and down at same time until download mode appears on screen select yes to enter download mode . Hook phone to computer via usb cord. Open odin you should see com7 or whatever port you have it hooked in. Download any sgh-t989 odin zip. Some are gb some are ics etc. Extract the tar file to computer then place it to PDA in odin. Hit start odin should read tar and begin process of installing it to phone. You should see the progress in the top box on left. It should take 5-8 mins approx. Then phone will reboot into new rom. After this unplug phone you should be good to go.

[Q] Stuck on boot

Hello. Well, my Note II froze, so I removed the battery and put it back again, but the phone doesn't boot up anymore; it's stuck at the "GT-N7100 screen". It's rooted, running the stock ROM. I want to take a backup of my phone, but I can't seem to do it. I tried the backup option in recovery, but it's acting weird; the phone reboots 2 seconds after I choose to backup. I ran the adb backup command on my computer, but it gives me the "unable to open file backup.ab" error. For the time being, I managed to pull /data/app and /data/data. Is this enough to restore back my applications and their data if I decide to flash a custom ROM now?
I wanted to see what's happening at boot, so I tried adb logcat -v long > log.txt when the phone is booting, however, it just says -waiting for devices-.

Mine froze half an hour back and when I rebooted it is stuck on the samsung note 2 screen. The same thing happened with my colleague's galaxy s3 as well, but that happened last night. It is really weird all phones dying for no reason. I just opened an app (Ingress) and the phone stopped working. Mine is rooted, but on official ROM. My colleagues' is just stock rom, not rooted.

Also, I am not able to boot into recovery mode by pressing vol up+home+power. I can only go into download mode thro vol down+home+power. Is it a bigger issue with a batch of devices? how can this happen when I didn't even try to do anything with my open apart from opening a app.

It's not SDS is it? You have checked your chipset version before haven't you?

So whats that about then? I'm Rooted but on stock ROM
Mines gone too today.
I'm at a loss as to how to recover things. Phone will only go into ODIN mode and not recovery.
Very strange

Same thing has happened to me twice. It wouldn't go into recovery mode but I kept trying and after half a dozen goes it somehow did.

I did that before. Press home + volume up + power that will put u in stock recovery, from there you should be able to factory reset wipe data. Before you downgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 you needed to full wipe because the factory image in Odin will just flash on top

scyr2355 got it...
your device is dirty...as you pushed images on top of each other. and this leaves old data behind.
the boot to stock recovery and a cache wipe with a factory reset should bring the phone back to life.....g

You could have just downgraded the radio and the secret menu is there again with the options to unlock... Hope this works out for you
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda premium

Home+Vol Up+Power will put you into stock recovery as stated previously. You will need to use odin. Make sure drivers are installed on your computer and use a stock Image. Of course you must reset everything. I bricked my phone in similar fashion when I first started flashing. Now I flash all the time without issue. I recommend TWRP. A simple search will get you all the info you need.

Just spent five hours tonight trying to fix the same problem. I have a couple questions for you.
1. Which version of ODIN are you using. I recommend using the 3.07 version because it officially supports downloading the ATT I-317 firmware to your handset.
2. Are you using an official stock ROM? Or one that has been tampered with, De-OXED and/or injected with a root. If so, I would also recommend using a stock tar.md5 ROM from the Samsung-Updates or SamMobile websites.
On an unrelated note, I'm originally from Warwick :laugh:

PLEASE HELP!!!
I did the same thing. I tried to downgrade to 4.1.1 to unlock a customers device and now im stuck on the Samsung logo.... Ive never had a problem like this before and like I said this is a customers Note 2 and I really dont have the $$ to replace his device.... I tried to get to stock recovery and It wont go.... it just keeps looping the Note 2 logo.... what can I do.... Im SUPER scared.... ive rooted many many devices but only 1 downgrade and this never happened.... everything passed on Odin?? PLEASE HELP ME??

downgrade.zip will NOT do ANYTHING to help your issue; all it does it change the files system back to the way it is in 4.12
something else is wrong, but you have to post more info; what rom you flashed, what recovery/version you are on, what the error message/code is when you try to flash, etc...

Thanks even more for letting me know that this won't do the trick. I should start by reiterating that I have a S4 on Sprint and not a Note 2 on AT&T, so I before I get flamed for being in the wrong forum, just wanted to check if I should go further on what I'm running and the "error" I'm experiencing to see if you can help. I'd really appreciate it if you could but don't want to break any rules ...

its not so much about breaking the rules, as it is about giving you advice that could harm your device, since its not the same as this threads'
I would take it to the s4 threads, just to be sure
good luck

So still no luck with this for me. Someone please help. I can only flash non touchwiz ROMs. I am running pacman nightly 4.3 9-7-13 version. I just flashed devil kernel to see if it would fix the issue. No luck but definetly a nice kernel. I try to flash jedix17 16 and even a nandroid I had from 16 no luck. Tried several other tw ROMs but it just gets stuck on bootloop. Hellllllllllp I like pacman but I was flashing roms everyday and I'm going nuts. I brick my gs3 backup phone so I have to be very careful now with only one phone. Advice?????

Okay. ....do you show correct IMEI Number ?
And do you have data ?
If yes. ..then let's try this. ..(deep breath)..(make a backup)...then the following:
First. ...boot to recovery and wipe data, caches, and internal storage. ..
Basically everything without touching your external card. ..and just to be sure. .take it out and set it aside. .(make sure to unmount it in settings first !!!)
Next. .turn off the device and boot into download mode. ..(ready for Odin)
Then using only your PC...download Mr. Robinsons rooted UCAMA4 build from his thread. .. (in the development section)..
Next. ..push the image you just downloaded to the device via Odin. ..(use the PDA box...and don't change any Odin settings)...
Next. ..wait for the image to automatically boot the device once completed. ....(unplug the device)..
If the device fails to boot. ..pull the battery. ..wait 30 seconds. ..then replace it and boot into the newly flashed 3e recovery and wipe cache and data 2 times each. ..then reboot.....
If the device boots normally then move to the next step. ..and if not. ..repeat the flash process again using Odin and the rom you downloaded. ..
If after two unsuccessful flashes, and wipes using 3e recovery, and battery pulls. ..you still don't get a successful boot. ..you may have partition damage. ..in which case a repair may be needed. ..but for the sake of your phone we'll wait until the above has failed. ..
Next. ...If boot occurs using the above method. ..enter your wifi password and log into the play store and download triangle away if you want your counter reset. .
If not. ..skip the play store after entering the wifi password and move into your settings/about phone/software update. ..
Push the update button and wait for ATT to offer you the update to UCAMC3..then take it. ..
If desired you can then clear the flash counter and unroot...
Let's get that far before worrying about anything else. ..
Please record any errors or messages you get. ..especially while using Odin. ..as this tells us the device partition state. ..especially when PIT files are involved. .
Sorry for the long post. ..but it was necessary. ..I hope. .
Please post back. ...g
