Ok so I installed Liquid Smooths new beta rom, it was running fine but didn't have GAPPS, so i went and flashed GAPPS and now my phone is stuck......
When it loads the rom it keeps saying "unfortunetly setup wizard has stopped working" i keep clicking ok but the same message keeps popping up over and over again.....
I have tried the vol down, powre and home button to get into recovery but all it does is turn off the phone
Pulled battery and tried holding VOL DOWN+power to get intro recover but all it does is vibrate every few seconds.....
I am stuck and have been trying to get my phone operational for three hours, anyone care to help me? I have tried ADB but it cant find my device and i can't get into the settings of my phone to turn on debugging mode

First, did you flash the correct gapps? You have to make sure what you are flashing is correct for the ROM before you flash it.
Second, you need to turn the phone off, then press power + volume up + home until it vibrates and then release to access recovery. To access download mode, its the same thing only with volume down.
Third, a bit of advice. I don't mean to belittle you, but it doesn't sound like you did your homework before you started flashing things to your phone. You need to read around a bit and get a good grasp of the basics, or you will end up in trouble, whether it be as simple as a bootloop or as bad as a hard brick. I hope you get it fixed quickly. Good luck!

Thanks, I finally got into recovery mode by holding the three buttons then letting go right after it vibrated and pressing again.... weird..
For the most part, i read every single post in a thread before i flash a rom, I have been flashing roms for years now ....... I guess i got comfortable and flashed this "beta" rom(stupidly) not thinking anything of it..... and no i didn't even check if it was the right gapp, i knew it was for 4.2.1 and i figured the beta was the same.
I am not back to a working rom, but now my phone is only able to get Edge speed, is that a modem issue?
That's an imei issue. Look around there is a thread about it. Happened to me but that got it all fixed. Under phone settings about phone if your imei is 0 you need to inject it back. Hope this helps

Hi
This is my first post. I have had Note 2 for 6 months now and have done a root using Samsung Galaxy Tool kit which worked fine.
Few days ago, I update the phone updated which unrooted the phone so decided to root the phone again last night.
It went through fine and the phone was working. I was able to use all the apps and make calls. This morning after making a call, I put the phone on the desk, after 10 minutes, the phone was dead. I couldn't turn it on.
Battery was fully charged. when I press the power button, there is a red light on top flashing.
I have tried vol up + home button + power but it doesn't work.
I have looked at other forums but no real answer to the problem.
I was going to flash the phone with original stock rom using Odin, not sure if it will.work
Please advice there is any other solution to this.
Thanks

Sounds like sudden death.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
How you will flash ROM? you are able to reboot to download mod?
If yes, try it
Symptoms are highly suggestive of sudden death.
If you are unable to flash ROM, don't do anything and send it to service station.
Well have you taken out the battery yet? If not, please do and leave it out for 1-2 minutes. Then put it back and see if it boots.

no I can't boot the device hence can't flash. you are probably right, "sudden death" as I can't do anything except the red light next to the ear phone flashing every 10 secs.
Yeah that is proximity sensor light and that is classic symptom of sudden death.
Can you tell me you were on which rom last?
I mean you have updated to which rom, bcoz latest rom believed to be fixed for sudden death. And that will be big challenge if you were on ll7 and still it is sudden death.

I wont be able to flash any rom as Galaxy Note 2 tool kit cannot connect to the phone even though all the drivers are installed.
The phone need to be in either recovery mode or need to be on to flash ( unless I am mistaken)
And in what circumstances appear???

Don't worry in sudden complete death (unable to get into Download Mode) they can't figure it out.
Just ask him it was as it is after purchase and it happened suddenly. Do need to even mention you can't boot into recovery or download mode.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if my phone is dead. It was running fine this morning, Task & Ktoonsez' AOKP with Ktoonsez kernel. However, I tried to unlock it a little while ago and it wouldn't go on. It boots to the splash screen, both normally and going into recovery, but it doesn't last long enough to go into recovery or boot normally. I try to boot into download mode and it boots, but the phone turns off after a few seconds.
I tried to flash back to stock in Odin, but the phone doesn't stay in download mode long enough for the flash to finish.
I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
Pretty sure if it was bricked it wouldn't boot into download mode at all. It sounds like it is losing power or something. The only thing I can think of is maybe your battery is bad. Download mode can run off of USB power if you remove the battery after booting into it. Maybe plug your phone in and boot into download mode, then take your battery out before it shuts off and see if it stays on.

No dice. It just did the same thing it's been doing. I went into download, popped the battery, it stayed in download for a few seconds, and then powered off.
Could it be a faulty power button? The phone is constantly vibrating by itself and if the power button was messed up it could be causing the phone to leave download mode.

As far as I can tell pressing or holding the power button in download mode will only restart it, but won't shut it off. Also it takes about 10 seconds. I don't think it's your power button.

Ah, okay.
In that case, though, I have no clue what's causing the problem here. At this point the only thing I can do is enter download mode for a few seconds, but I can't get it to be enough time to flash a ROM in Odin.

Might be a dumb question... Is your battery charged? I'd plug it in for a while off and see if the battery logo comes up and than try putting it in recovery or download.

I tried that too. It's been plugged in for a while and the same thing happens. It just stays in download mode for a few seconds and then turns off. Also, I tried flashing back to stock in Odin but it failed because the phone turned off before the flash could finish. Now the phone says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select Recovery mode in Kies and try again."
So it's basically stuck in download mode cause of a corrupted flash. If I could get the phone to stay in download mode, I could flash it back to stock with Odin, but it's not giving me enough time at this point.
I'm running into the same problem currently, I was wondering if you were able to find a solution. Same ROM same Kernel. I've been using my current version of the ROM since October and haven't flashed anything recently, It just died on me last nigth and now I'm experiencing what you are as well. I was able to turn on the phone somehow last night but it stayed on for couple of mins and turned off again. At the time I had 60% charge.
Thanks
Unfortunately not. Sent my phone back to AT&T and they honored the warranty (despite it being very clear that I was rooted and on custom software).

Thanks. I got the phone when it launched so it's been over a year hence I'm well over the one year manufacturer warranty. Doubt they'll honor it for me =/.
Bad news, It's not about software, it's a hardware issue.
I had that issue with a Sprint S3,
The power button switch is stuck pressed all the time, you can try to hit it a little and maybe it pops out but the issue is gonna still there.
If you remove and insert the battery does it vibrates and tries to turn on without pressing the power button?

yup I just realized it was the power button issue. I managed to fix the problem[kind of], i kept trying to get into download mode while connected to AC Adapter with official charging cables. And it stayed in download mode long enough for me to go back to stock ROM. I'm just trying to avoid hitting the power button as much as possible because every time I do something goes crazy and phone turns off.
I'm gonna try and go to AT&T store tomorrow to see if they can do anything about this.
Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it.
You're welcome. Good luck dude :thumbup:

I have the same problem. I've tried to install quickly the twrp. But is not time enough
My problem was the battery. After charge a lot, all thing works fine.
So, my Galaxy S3 suddenly shut off on me, so I tried to reboot it, and it would just say "Galaxy s3" then nothing would show. So I figured it was a software brick and I can just restore a backup. When I tried to access Recovery Mode, it would show that its trying to boot into Recovery, but nothing would happen. So I figured I can just go into Download Mode and restore it through ODIN to get all the partitions working again. It would go to Download Mode for a few seconds, and then just shut off on me before I can even do anything. Everytime I take out the battery and put it back in, it tries to auto boot, but it never gets passed the Samsung s3 logo. Do you think this is a software or hardware brick? And would any of you know how I should go about fixing this?
Thanks a bunch

I agree, the only way it should turn on when you replace the battery is if power was held down. It would explain everything else you mentioned as well. Try gently knocking it back out. Or if comfortable with it, open the device to have a closer kook.

i'm experiencing a similar issue. I can only get any result while it's plugged in. it wont boot past the second splash screen, I got it into download mode and flashed the stock package from sammobile.com with no change. the phone keeps trying to boot into recovery after flashing stock but it goes to the android with the open chest screen and reboots and tries again over and over. i've taken the phone apart and seen nothing wrong, no corrosion, no water damage and i've even replaced the battery with no success. i tried flashing clockworkmod recovery, the flash was successful but it still wont even boot to recovery. the power button isnt stuck, i can manipulate it when i have the bare motherboard in my hands and still it's fine. would replacing the power switch have any affect? please any thoughts would be appreciated
edit: since flashing stock, plugging the phone into the computer with oem cable causes it to vibrate intermittently. holding power causes it to try recovery mode. running windows 7 with samsung drivers properly installed and adb recognizes my galaxy s2 and captivate no problems. someone mentioned on a post i read about using a 3 part stock rom, modem, pda and phone to flash instead of the all in one tar file, any thoughts?
another edit. this phone has never to my knowledge been rooted or had any kernel/rom flashed onto it. as far as i know it's stock from Wind mobile, 3 months past warranty
Really trying to figure this out. Every time i Press the Power Button my phone immediately shuts off instead of going to the option to reboot or screenshot. It was fine earlier but now I cant use the shortcut to reboot into recovery or just reboot the phone + the lockscreen does not show up after 3 or 4 min after the phone is off (and yes the phone isn't set to go off in 10 min, just 1) can somebody please help or point me to a thread that shows me what the deal is? Thank you so much!

ROM/kernel you are running. Also pressing the power button IMMEDIATELY shuts the phone, keeping the power button pressed brings up the reboot menu.
Jedix20 Rom and the Stock kernel it came with. When I press the power button and the screen turns off. When I press it again it doesnt go to the lockscreen. And if I hold it just for 2 seconds instead of the pop up option to reboot the phone it just shuts the phone off. Normally it takes like 4-5 seconds after I hold it for it to completly power off. Now it doesnt do it anymore. I tried reverting back to the Stock GB through odin and it still doesnt work. I thought it was perhaps something wrong with the system files so I tried factory resetting JediX20. No good. I booted into download mode and installed stock through odin. No good. And I Installed Jedix20 back again. I had a factory test message with some box pop up on the screen and stayed primaraly on the home screen.. it looked like a debug mode. I downloaded Titanium and deleted those files and the factory mode with the phone information vanished. Im just trying to figure out why wont the lockscreen appear anymore or the options to boot to recovery, reboot, airplane mode ext. Wont appear.

It may be a hardware issue, as it is also happening on the stock rom. IMHO I would take it back to stock (remember to reset the flash count) and take it your carrier. Keep in mind that your phone has a 1 year warranty since the day it was delivered to the first customer.
Not really a possibility. I bought this outright and its on straight talk. Ive flashed pac 4.3 and it works like a charm. It only happens on touchwiz but why? I have no clue. It was fine untill a couple days ago. I know that since it did work on an aosp based rom that the problem lies somewhere in the touchwiz roms files.

Phone is in factory mode. Either your efs is corrupted or the phone has detected a crash somewhere else. Just google factory mode to see how to get out of it..usually by if you backed up your efs you could restore them and reboot
