I changed the lcd density of my tablet and now I have a constant bootloop.
I do not have custom recovery installed and I am rooted with CF-Auto Root.
I tried to boot into safe mode which I believe is by holding down the up and down volume buttons while it is booting up but that just turns off the tablet.
I am able to go to stock recovery.
I tried the factory rest there but it still boot loops.
I have no idea what I should do now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The nice thing about samsung devices is being able to recover from most bootloops and bricks buy putting the device into download mode. If you can get into download mode, you can unbrick it. Put it in download mode, then you will need to install samsung usb drivers to your pc, download official samsung firmware, and flash it via odin. Doing this will completely wipe your system and you will not be rooted. But that that should get you back up and running.

This should also help since you are able to get into recovery...

Thank you so much for your response. So I am in download mode and I am useing the Galaxy note 8 toolkit but when I try to use odin to do a stock recovery that i had downloaded I am stuck in waiting for usb debugging to be enabled. i do not know what to do. -_-
Try running through it again. If you cant get it to work, then try the samsung method using kies via the link above. That official method should not require usb debugging.
Also try this method....

I managed to get cwm loaded up and flashed 4.2.2 rom. It worked flawlessly. I tried to flash two of the stock roms that samsung had provided but both failed for me. My lesson is to always have a backup and do not mess with the lcd density. lol Thanks so much for your help though. I got this problem solved in less than 10 hours. I think that is a win in my book.
Lol. No problem. Yes, before you do anything, be sure you know how to recover if it fails and you have the resources to do it with. I had that learning experience a long time ago. Remember, with samsung devices, you can recover as long as you can get into download mode. You have to really screw up bad to break download mode.

Just got this phone for my wife and decided to root it for her. I have the note ii and had no problem with mine using the same method. I used the Samsung galaxy 3 toolkit v2.3.0. Chose option 2 for sprint and then option 2 rooting options. Then # 3 all in one. I already had the drivers on the pc and the phone was set for usb debugging. THe software flashed the phone but when it came back up I get the "samsung" boot screen then the sound of it booting up. The only problem it is a black screen with a blue led light. Thats it, tried to reboot into recovery and download mode but there is nothing there. just reboots to black screen. Now I do have one of those jtag usb ends I have order just in case I needed it and I can boot it into download mode and I can use odin but I have no idea what I need to do to "fix" it. Tried to use the recovery option in the toolbox but that didnt work. Also tried team epic's root tar file but that didnt work either and I am out of ideas. The only thing I know is my wife is going to kill me if I can't get this fixed.
Please help!
ps...since this phone is one day old if i cant fix it I would like to take it back to sprint for another one but I need some way to reset the counter using the download method only or I am hosed.

I dont have my Galaxy S3 yet, but it sounds like all you would need is to flash a stock rom through odin. Look in the android development sub-forum and find a stock odinable rom.
I'm with the above poster. Try an odin repair.
And let this be a lesson to you. Don't mess with the wifey's toys, Murphy's law will bite you every time and she'll remember "forever" and dredge it up when you least expect it.
I hate Murphy's law...but you are so right.
I went to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774722
and downloaded SPR Image (JB 4.1.1) and it installed bootloader, system etc (the works) and when I rebooted it worked. I still don't have CWM and I dont even know if i have root BUT it works and I am now out of the doghouse! Thanks for all the help and if you think of anything else I need to know please tell me and thanks again...
PS.. installed goomanager and was able to get TWRP so the phone is rooted. next is the rom toolbox so I can back everything up!
Hey guys,
I've gotten myself into a bit of a pickle. I've been using custom roms for a while, I installed Illusion Rom (4.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2352640), some time after that clock work recovery stopped working - I have no idea why.
Tonight I tried to fix it with Odin and Samsung Galaxy Note2 ToolKit. Using Toolkit, I tried to launch clock work recovery from there, unfortunately it's put my phone into a bootloop no matter what I do. I can only access Download mode and my computer isn't recognising it in Odin. I'm not concerned about my existing data as I regularly make backups.
I'd really appreciate some help! Thanks.
tl;dr - How do I factory reset just using download mode?
I highly recommend looking at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38169310
Saved my bacon, it did. The only way I got Odin detect the phone was
switching the phone off, plugging it into the PC, firing up Odin and then
entering Download mode. Strange how that's the only way it'd work, but
there you go.
EDIT: It's stated in the above thread that it's only for people who are new
to XDA, but the links that are provided to Odin and the recovery package
are invaluable.
My bacon has also been saved. Thank you!
So my phone was working perfectly fine until two days ago it rebooted itself with no apparent reason. After that the phone stayed stuck on boot screen (Where it says "samsung galaxy note II GT-N7100).
I can't get into recovery mode, but can get into download mode.
I tried about anything to fix this but nothing seemed to help and I'm starting to lose hope. I really wish you guys can help me fix this, because I'm having trouble facing the fact that my phone can just die on me and i have nothing to do about it (I have no insurance on the device).
Thanks in advance to anyone who wishes to help!

This just happened to my GT-N7105 too....
....for the second time! lol.
First time i solved it by using Odin, flashed CWM then checking to see if CWM could mount my SDcard, i loaded up a ROM in it and reboot into CWM and installed the rom from there. SIMPLE!
This time, my CWM works but it can't mount my SD-CARD... :crying:
So, i'm just gonna flash in another rom with Ordin and see what happens! lol.
If you need help using Odin, try this guide:
galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/
Granted it's a bit old, but it might still work (im using this guide too!) Only difference is that you'll have to flash in CWM instead of a ROM and we should use latest ordin 3.7.
So good luck to you and me! :good::laugh:

I am not able to go into download mode. Now the screen just hangs on "Galaxy Note II" logo. Even if I switch off the phone and connect it for charging, all it displays is "Galaxy Note II" logo instead of BIG Battery Charging Icon. Now am not able to boot into android also. Any Help?

I've got the same stupid problem. I have the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo. Can't get to recovery, I can get to download. I've flashed stock at least 5 times now, even tried cwm. Odin says successful/pass, phone never boots past this initial screen. What is going on?

Like my post says, I have downloaded the stock rom, used odin to flash. Odin says successful/passed...Phone restarts only to get stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen. Won't go past this screen. I cannot get into recovery mode, only download mode.
have you check all the setting in your Odin is it correct?

Press vol. up + menu key and then Power key if your phone is stuck on boot screen for 4~8sec, and don't leave the button until your phone get restarted and for ~3 secs after.

yeah, this just happened to my moms note 2,
we were outside and she was using her phone normally until it suddenly started to reboot repeatedly.
i knew it's not her firmware nor her kernel cause they're all the official ones,
luckily my father has a note 1 which uses a battery of the same size, so i tried it's battery and it worked, so i put back the original battery and wala,
worked like a charm
have you tried to install custom recovery? CWM or TWRP or Philz and then install a custom rom from the recovery?
If someone can't go to download mode there is a micro usb callesd usb jig(you find it on ebay) that helps you go into download mode.
Oh my God!!! I inserted the spare battery that i had into my "bricked" note 2... And it got a life.. I can't understand the logic behind this.. Its a topic worth research!!
BTW, thanks to rZZ87

Hello,
I am unrooted my note 2 before, at that time it didnt give me this problem. Now this time i followed exact procedure, but Odin gives me failed notification and now i can only go to download mode. My fone was only 31% charged when I tried to unroot, Now I also don't know if the phone's charging or not. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you
Go to kies software and click tools.. repair firmware.. will ask for S/N numver located in the battery compartment behind the battery.
Kies will do the rest. Ur successfully unrooted and on total stock rom from Samsung.
Allbur data will be lost.

same issue but worse
having the same problems but mine is worse...i flashed cyanogenmod on my note 2..but didnt do a back up,i was trying to unroot back to 4.1.2
but fails at system.
ive loaded CWM boot its stock at the boot screen.
i need help fast.
i checked my IMEI and it say my device is the europe region version...but that stock rom doesnt flash with odin..i have tried the the india and the new 4.3 leak as well same result.....im crying now.
I have tried emergency firmware recovery from kies, its not displaying my phone model (I think not detecting my phone). I tried upgrading the firmware, it got stucked in downloading the firmware from server( I waited for more than 2 hrs).
By lot of searching various threads, I tried different region stock firm...I tried different versions of odin....I tried different USB ports, but still failed.....
I almost lost hoped but when I changed to different usb cable (original samsung note 2)....EUREKA....IT PASSED......I think the problem was usb cable (I was using nokia usb cable).......
If anyone has similar problem...pls try changing usb ports...use samsung usb cable(note 2 only).....try charging ur battery.....try latest firmware...try different versions of odin...try kies emergency recovery firmware.........AS LONG AS UR PHONE GOES TO DOWNLOAD MODE DON"T LOOSE HOPE COZ UR PHONE CAN BE RECOVERED..........
still trying everything know to man....nothing will flash.
im just stock on the boot screen

yes i can.
i flashed cwm 6 root with odin. now im back to a very slow cyanogenmod.
can i load custom roms from here?
If you can into recovery mode (CWM) and if your phone is rooted you can flash any custom rom from there....
Check the threads of the roms which you want to install.....procedure is always there...

i know i can flash rom from recovery....but how do i load a rom to the root SD.
Hey, so my note 2 (sgh-i317m variant) running 4.3 is stuck on the samsung screen and I cannot boot into recovery (it just stays at the samsung screen). What I believe caused this is the fact that I originally had it rooted, but flashed back to stock via odin to update to 4.3. Then I proceeded to re root it via odin and the cf auto root, however I forgot to factory reset before doing this. Now its stuck on the samsung screen and I cannot even get it into recovery mode. I can get it into download mode but whenever I try reflashing the stock rom (I have two different ones) neither of them work and Odin just displays "fail". I really dont know what else to do, hoping someone will know, thanks in advance.
Friend, try Google for KIES3. After installation under the Menu bar..look into something recoveries..
There you'll need to enter your model and serial no.
Boot your hp to DOWNLOAD MODE and plug to your usb. Then let KIES do its work.
Hope it helps
