Help please guys :) stuck on a boot looop

I need help please, ive looked around on the forum for an answer to my problem but to no avail..
The story goes...
Had my lovely note 2 for a while, decided to root used (exynos abuse). (i only needed root for root explorer as i wanted to change the boot animation) i never got around to doing this.
Next thing i was on the playstore and i seen a DPI modifier, i downloaded that and set the DPI to 240 granted su permissions and the phone rebooted..
Now im stuck in the samsung logo boot loop..
Could someone please help my get my note 2 back.. im not bothered about the data on there as all this is backed up.
I have already downloaded odin, but not sure what to go from here as i am still a n00b
I hope you guys don't mind me creating a thread, i have used the search bar intensively before starting this
I look forward to your replies
Kindest of regards

Flash the stock firmware again via Odin that will reset everything....
For odin download the. Tar file and the odin software. Hit pda and select your. Tar file and then flash it. Be sure to be in the download mode by pressing volume down + power+home button

You are a legend!!. i can't try this right now as i am in work.
I have the latest Odin, where would i get the stock firmware from? samfirmware.com?? (my works computer is currently blocking this site for telephony and sms lol) so i will try it when i get back home.
So i have to make sure that the firmware is a .tar file?

You can get it from sammobile. Com.....

Glad I helped you

Well according to me you should stick to 4.1.1 unless you are not a big fan of the ink effect and wait for the OTA

You could just stick a Build.prop in a Cwm zip and flash that, but u would need Cwm recovery installed to use that. If you don't have Cwm installed, then go to this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000138
Download the file ending in .tar
Boot your phone in your download mode, open odin on your pc, and in the pda tab, select the path to the Cwm zip.
That would save u from having to flash a stock rom, and u would still keep all your user data.
If u need help making a Cwm zip, i can send u one with a Build.prop later today.
Cheers

Hey Corey thanks for the reply, ive pulled the build.prop via adb and edited it, then pushed it back to the phone. It hasn't changed anything its still stuck on the boot loop, that makes me wonder is anything else has changed in the build.prop..
What would be the best program to edit the build.prop on my computer?
Kind Regards

Hi,
If you changed the build.prop back to 320, then the build.prop might not be the only problem. I guess the DPI editor you used must have changed some other things in the rom.
I will attach my build.prop here , so try pushing that to your phone, and see if it boots, if it doesn't boot, then the DPI must have changed some other things somewhere on yhe phone, and you will have to flash a stock rom.
Here is my build.prop
http://db.tt/4idemf7B
Try flashing that, if it doesn't work, then you will have to just flash a stock rom with Odin.

Hey man thanks again for your help, i pushed the build.prop you provided and still nothing.. im downloading the stock fw now on my works connection so its taking forever (12mins left) so i will flash the stock fw to it.
I understand that i stick the phone in download mode.. open Odin, plug phone in. chuck the .tar into the PDA box and hit start?
What do i do if after flashing the stock fw its still stuck on a boot loop???
I do have the phone insured so i can swap it at the store, but due to the holidays that wont be until the end of next week and i need my phone for work... plus im enjoying the learning curve of sorting the phone myself
Thanks again corey

It is unlikely you will get bootloop after flashing stock firmware.
Even you get it just you have to wipe it from recovery (Vol up+home+power) and wipe cache
If that won't help then you have to wipe data(factory reset) from recovery too.
But here with wiping data you will loss your data.
PS : You can flash any stock ROM.

Hi,
Before flashing the stock rom, boot the phone up in to recovery (hold home + power + volume up) and wipe data, Cache, ect.
And make sure u don't tick any box's ect in odin, as some of them can potentially brick your phone, so just leave all the check box's as they are.
Seeing u just changed the DPI, flashing a stock rom will fix it. The only way to hard brick a phone, so that flashing a stock rom doesn't fix it, us by stuffing up the /boot partition. Which is not too easy to do. And changing the DPI wouldn't do that.
Just make sure the stock rom u install is the right one for your phone (make sure the model number matches your phone). As a n7105 rom won't work too well on a N7100 ect.
And leave the phone for up to 10 min to boot up after flashing the rom. So don't try restarting ect till you have left it to boot for 10 min.

Go to firmwares.
Download the one for your phone.
Boot into download. Flash with odin.
The file u downlaoded is to be flashed via cwm or twrp. Not via odin. It will be a zip file. Flash the whole zip together.

Have you gotten back into twrp recovery yet?
If youre stuck in a bootloop which it sounds like...hold volume up home button and power until device turns off and once you see samsung logo let go.
Did you make a back up before you flashed? If so restore it and youll be fine. If not then you need to remember this...always always make a backup. Every thread on here says make a backup before you flash.
And btw I dont hate noobs. We all were at one point and I remember how stressful it can be when you're unsure of what youre doing amd think youve bricked. Pm me if you need help. As long as either you can get into recover via the method I said above or alternative method is plug you phone in your pc, open up cmd prompt in then folder you put all your android root files. (Hold shift and right click in a blank space in the folder, then go to open command propmpt here. Then type in:
adb reboot recovery
That will also get you in recovery.

Odin stuck at NAND Write Start

I need to return my phone to stock so I can send in for warranty. I used the one click method a while back. Unroot checker says im not rooted but I still have the su icon in my apps. I tried flashing the stock tar file but odin gets stuck at nand write start. Ive searched on how to correct this issue but from what ive read no one has found a solution. I have tried about 4 different odin versions. I wanted to try to flash a pit file to see if that works, but I can not find the correct pit file. Can I get some assistance please?

I flashed SGH-I317_ATT_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987541. Then I flashed the rooted firmware. When I open triangle away it gives me that error mentioned above.

Im confusing myself. I just did the ota update and now Im no longer rooted, which I understand. But now if I reroot by flashing the rooted stock rom on that page I wont be able to use triangle away with that version of firmware. So what do I do?

Go into the dev section, and find the stock/rooted UCAMA4 rom from Mr. Robinsons thread...http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22901594685178627
The rom is above this line...I pulled it for you...^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^....
Then odin push it to the device.
Once complete...run triangle away then remove the app.
Then remove SU from within the app.
Then take the update..(optional)
Flash counter will read "0", and device will read normal...
Dont forget to go into the stock recovery and wipe data, factory reset when done.
That's it...it's that easy.....g

Thanks a lot I really appreciate that G!. I actually got the counter back to 0 with the updated triangle away. Im still rooted on 4.1.1. So now I need to flash 4.1.2 to remove root and upgrade to 4.1.2. Hopefully I wont trip the counter .....

I rooted my At&t Note 2 with 4.2.2 and it seemed to work fine. Then when I went to get the gapps put on for the google software I ran into an issue. Since I was dumb and didnt create a recovery spot first I have nothing to go back to. Right now my phone is stuck in the "android system recovery" screen where the android guy is laying on his back with a red sign over his open stomach. I have tried to just hit wipe and to reboot it but all it does is restart the phone and bring me right back to the screen. What do I do please help!!! Is it possible to download someone elses recovery and apply update from my SD card??

You need to use Odin to install a recovery. ..and a rom...
You are currently in limp mode. ..
Be careful. ..you are 1 step away from a brick. ..
Go to the development section and study up with ODIN. ..then prepare the PC to run it. ..
Once Odin functions...prepare the device. ..
Your goal is first a working recovery. .. (TWRP or CWM)....
Then a suitable rooted stock rom...
For now. ...make no more attempts until you understand these functions. ..or you "will" brick the device. ..
I'm not trying to be rude or condescending. ..I'm trying to save your phone. .g

He just told you, you have to use odin to push a recovery. That shoulldve been the first thing you did, but it's what you need to do now.

Maybe use Kies firmware update and initialization to restore to stock and start over.

I don't think so, you're going to have to find out why odin isn't recognizing your device. Maybe Gregg can chime back in but until he does I would suggest re-downloading the sammy drivers and see if that helps.

Are you putting your phone in Download Mode ? Turn off phone, hold down the HOME key, Volume Down and Power Button. You should boot into Download mode, this is what you should be in order to use Odin. Then follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844 to return you to stock or flash a custom recovery if you like to stay in a custom rom.
Good luck

Agreed. ..
If the device drivers are correct. ..and Odin can't see the device. ..then Kies is a last resort. .
You should also try another cable as well. ..
Cables must be OEM...or of the same quality. ..and for the same device. .
If these attempts fail. ..continue to try again. ..
The device isn't dead...and if download mode exists...You will beat this issue. ..
Never give up. ..just keep at it. ..g

If Odin can't see your device it only means one thing you don't have proper drivers for it. Reinstall drivers and try again, as long as you can access download mode you are good.

Could be just a bad flash as long as imei is not showing null or weird number which a sign of corrupted imei /efs. Seen it happen before when I flashed att with modem included. All I had to was flash correct firmware and it correcter my baseband and imei.

Just open the zip file on your pc and check what files there are inside. Just replace those with the original apks and odexes and flash in recovery.

Simply reflash your rom in cwm without wiping anything.

You'll need odin to flash stock firmwares. Mobile odin can flash it on your phone but requires root. Just dont do factory reset after flashing and you will keep data

I think there is a thread on xda where you can get a lite version as well if you want. Never used it so I don't know how to go about using the app though. Thing is, if you want to return it for servicing, you'll want to remove root as well as resetting counter, so I'd advise you to use normal odin and triangle away method.

I'll leave that for you to find out. As I said, I haven't used it before. From the screenshots, it looks quite self-explanatory.

somebody tell me that what to do in mobile odin pro to get my status bar back..because I don't want to do after opening that app??
