i had my phone for a year now, 2 days i ago i unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone. today i tried to flash the pacman rom. everything went well until i rebooted phone. it starts up normally, but on the setup menu my phone instantly shuts down and opens recovery mode because battery is empty though it is charged. it's been hours now and problem persists, i searched online everywhere and couldn't find answer. so did i do anything wrong? my phone is CDMA and using clockworkmod recovery v5.8.3.1
i really need help here i don't think i can afford a new phone.
by the way, i am not an expert on android so i lack a bit of terminology and also i am new here and i did search and couldn't find any answers. thank you

Ive tried searching and googling, but couldnt really find an answer to my problem..I have flashed many roms on my HD2, but only 1 on my gnex. I dont know much about using terminal and the adb system..so im quite lost.
sitation:
-when i put my battery in, i can go into fastboot
-if i let it boot, the google logo with the lock at the bottom boots... then it goes to the loading screen... after about 5-10 seconds, it will reboot and repeat.
i have the sdk tools thing installed on my mac. Im pretty sure its installed correctly but im not exactly sure how to use it.I have an old version of gummy (0.9.0?) and have been running it fine for about 2 months. I used the toolkit program to root and unlock it. installed cwm and installed the rom. didnt have any problems until today, i had just sent an email, and then about a minute or two later, the phone restarted and started booting itself over and over.
I booted into recovery and wiped everything and still boot loops. So i wiped everything again and installed the same rom because I don't know transfer through bootloader. still no luck, after leaving bootloader or recovery it will continue to boot loop.
right now i cant reflash to stock because i can't get my phone to connect to my mac.
my questions:
-will i need to reflash my baseband//kernel/recovery?
-either an update of the rom or a new rom would fix this, yes? how do i transfer a new rom to my phone through fastboot?
-Since i dont have access to my pc, can i do this from my mac? How?
sorry to be so newbie, but i really am with the gnex If anyone can please give me a general step by step... i can search how to specifically do each step.. but i just need help figuring out what to do at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!
Where to start...
First, as a disclaimer, I may use language or terms that sound noobish. I have rooted and run custom ROMs on several devices in the past, however generally when I get a ROM I like I stick with it, so I'm not constantly tinkering. I've done my best to search and find solutions so please go easy on me.
17 days ago I was running stock 4.3 on my SGNII when the battery died. Upon charging I found I was stuck in bootloop and had a bad /efs mount. I searched and searched and spent around 15 hours trying this and that but to no avail. I finally threw my hands in the air and got ahold of Josh at mobiletechvideos and he was able to fix the efs mount issue. However, he left me in factory mode which required me to root to get out of, and once I did this I was unable to activate data on my carrier (Ting). I was so happy to have my phone "back" though that I used it like this for 4 or 5 days. I could get on wifi and I could call and send text messages. I had been off the grid so this felt like something I'd fix fully later.
Well I kept reading and found "fix" after "fix", flashed this and that and still no dice. FINALLY, last night, I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2086769 which helped immensely. I was able to get TWRP flashed by unchecking the "auto-reboot" option in Odin and pulling the battery after the update took, and via TWRP I was able to install the ROM. I booted up, the device activated, I was running 4.1.2, I made and received some calls, the birds were chirping, the air was sweet...
I had struggled for so long and I had finally achieved success! Then, for seemingly no reason at all, I accepted an OTA update which bricked my Note2. Devastation.
The current state of things...
* Cannot get past the initial "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" screen
* Cannot boot into recovery
* I CAN get into dl mode,
* but, I CANNOT successfully flash anything. TWRP will flash like it took, but upon reboot I'm not able to boot into it. I'm also able to flash a ROM but it fails when it gets to sbin, and upon rebooting I'm greeted by the screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
When I try to use Kies it doesn't find the device. I've installed all of the most recent drivers and I'm running Kies as administrator. I select Tools > Emergency Firmware Recovery, THEN connect my device as instructed.
I'm at the apex of frustration. I beg thee to help!!
I have roughly the same situation. Was rooted and on an MK4 rom, battery ran down super fast yesterday and when charged, only get splash screen and slowly flashing blue light. I can get into Philz recovery but no matter what I try, no dice. Also can get into DL mode, but haven't been able to get anywhere. What the heck happened?
Well i bought another phone because of this problem of unknown baseband and 0 for everything in settings which didnt allow me to connect to sprint. Now when that happen it put me in safe mode . and i couldn't find a fix for months i ended up getting a lg g2 and let my note 2 collect dust. Well I'm using my note 2 and its up in running . my partition was messed up . if you have this issue which it sound like i can help. My phone was running fine then rebooted on its own and rebooted on safe mode with no signal

Hi guys. I rarely have to post anything on here as I always find the resolution to my problem. I have a Vodafone UK HTC One M9 and I was rooted with S-off, unlocked bootloader. When the Android 7.0 update was able to be downloaded ota I tried to install it and it didn't work. I assumed it was because I had TWRP recovery installed rather than the stock recovery. I flashed stock recovery back on and then it still didnt work. I can't exactly remember what happened but i ended up spending two weeks trying to recover the phone. I have now S-on and after flashing hundreds of things i've finally got it sort of working again.
The Problem.
It is now running android 7.0 BUT it constantly displays 77% for the battery level and refuses to charge. I have the charging LED but it does not charge. Now the battery has died I can only power the phone whilst it is plugged into the mains. I can get into download mode and android. As soon as I try and load recovery it turns the phone off (allthough I have reflashed recovery).
What have I cocked up? I assume I need to reflash something that controls my battery? The phone worked perfectly prior to this. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
You flashed a stock recovery in a rooted state. That's what you did wrong.
Considering I know nothing about what you've done to it so far I'd say to follow flippy's thread in the general section stickies and return the phone to stock state.

Okay, so I'm not new to flashing roms or anything on this tablet. Been doing it on this particular tablet for years now.
But I think I really screwed up this time. I had been running an older version of Resurrection Remix ( I think it might have been lollipop, around '16 is when I installed it) and the battery was draining really bad suddenly. So after I installed a new battery I thought I'd put on a fresh new OS. Installed Lineage 14.1 and it worked wonderfully.
Then I tried to install TWRP because, I dunno... I didn't like the Cyanogen recovery that was on it.
I installed Rashr, went to install TWRP. Things looked okay, then it reboot. Got stuck at the downloading screen. Said at the top "Could not boot in normal mode."
Installed Kies, wouldn't connect to the tablet.
Installed Odin. Made a connection with the tablet. Still couldn't get rid of the "normal mode" error. Kept messing around with different button combos, popped the tablet open and disconnected the battery. Waited for a minute, put it back in and nothing different.
Finally I managed to get it to not show the "normal mode" error, but it might as well because Odin still doesn't work.
I remember a few years back I had to do some stuff on it to get the newer android OSes working on it, I think it involved repartitioning memory and stuff. So I don't know if I can try to go full KitKat stock rom or if it'll really mess things up.
I just want my tablet working with a recent rom.
I've literally spent 5 hours with this damn thing trying to get it working again and I'm at a total loss, here. Any help from you wonderful XDA folks would be so greatly appreciated!
EDIT:
Okay, so I let the battery drain overnight (the screen wouldn't turn off so it drained pretty quick) and while it's still stuck in Odin mode now it says at the bottom in red Unknown dev_type.
Have no clue what that means but yeah...
HELP PLEASE.Is there a way to flash or root AT&T Note 5,stuck in boot loop mode???
Hi to all
I'm member on XDA for a long time,but I really am a newbie considering rooting,flashing and messing with the phones.
Yesterday ,my At&t Samsung galaxy NOTE 5 restarted by itself and started doing that constantly.Maybe because the memory was almost full so the firmware didn't have enough space to run correctly ,I don't really know.
So I decided to do a FACTORY RESET in order to refresh the phone.I backed all up (it did restart few time while I did that but I managed to finish it).
After I did the factory reset and wiped the cache,I rebooted the phone and that is when the boot loop started.
Once or three times came back and started the phone up to the first settings (I managed to put in my google username e.t.c. but after a minute maybe it freezes and restarted by itself again)
I tried again another factory reset but the boot loop continues.I tried many time to turn it off,it restarted up to INSTALLING UPDATE......then tried to turn it off completely (Volume down+Power+Home button) and somehow I managed to turn it off.
I thought that I can come here and find the instructions on how to FLASH it with ODIN,but I couldn't find the stock firmware for AT&t Note 5.
Then I remembered (and read on internet) that the bootloader on AT&T phones is locked !!!!!
I searched some threads here for at least how to root it ,but I can't find anything clearly.
So I'm asking you for help: IS THERE ANY SAFE WAY THAT I CAN DO FLASH OR ROOT MY AT&T SAMSUNG NOTE 5 (EXPLAINED STEP BY STEP) IN ORDER TO MAKE MY PHONE WORK AGAIN????
I have never before messed with the phone.It has the original stock firmware Android 7.0 Nougat.
And the phone is bought in USA,but I live in EUROPE and have unlocked it ,by buying some code online, few years ago.It was working fine until yesterday.
Thank you in advance guys I hope that someone might help me.

Guys I found here some older version (few months older) of Android 7 for my Note 5 and I managed to do a flash. The flashing went OK I went through settings and after few minutes the phone freezes again and restarts. And then again the same,it works fine for a few minutes,freezes and restarts (I can here the camera working inside sometimes too)...........CAN ANYONE HELP ME REPAIR MY PHONE ,PLEASE ???
Hi again
I don't know why no one is replying to me???
Today I managed to make the settings and power up the phone,restored the back up....the phone is working,BUT the PROBLEM is that it constantly freezes and reboots by itself.Sometimes it works for few minutes and reboots,sometimes it works for 30min and then it reboots,sometimes longer...
What might be the problem? Is it some hardware problem processor ,memory or maybe bad battery? It is older model and I have noticed with Accu Battery that most likely the battery haslowered it's capacity.It drains faster,sometimes when it comes to 15% it drains very fast...
Can anyone help me diagnose the problem?
Thank you in advance
Try booting into Download Mode & flash a new stock firmware if all else fails, assuming u tried a factory reset first with no satisfaction. Guides are everywhere. I HTH

Thank you for your reply
I managed to flash the firmware few times,but the phone keeps freezing after some time and restarts.Sometimes it is stuck in the bootloop,sometimes it starts up to some point,freezes and restarts.
Could it be BAD BATTERY or is it something else?
If it is the battery problem,I will replace it,but I'm afraid that it might be someting else wrong.
What is your opinion?
