Phone wont start up - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello the phone was working perfectly , i pressed the power off button and selected recovery the TWRP recovery comes on then screen turns black...i took the battery out and try to restart the phone it only goes as far as the twrp screen then shuts off....any ideas how to fix this?
any ideas would be a huge help.....ps phone wont boot up it just goes to the twrp recovery screen then screen turns off, battery was at 78%

Have you tried a factory reset? That might help your problem!!

Your probably gonna have to use odin to flash the stock firmware to the phone, you will lose root and all your internal data though. You should always clear data/factory reset before doing this but since you don't have that option you might just have to flash over everything and hope for the best. Or you could also try flashing a TWRP tar through odin also and hope it fixes your recovery. You could also try flashing a CWM tar in odin if you cant find the twrp tar then from cwm flash twrp.

Sounds like you were doing something else..
Cuz you didn't say exactly what you were doing b4 this all started. Going off of assumption.. what it might be
so since you're saying after you turn on the phone it shuts down right after, have you tired going into download mode so you can re flash whatever Rom you had on there! Or you might just have to go back to a stock image !! To fix your issues.

Cool, let us know how it goes. Try odin flashing twrp first to see if you can save your stuff.

Flash a kernel... Maybe u accidentally wiped it in twrp... That would cause those issues u say ur having

I'd run stock for a day or two and see if there's any other potential issues.

I would try this^^^^^. Have you tried wiping internal storage and formatting data? I wipe cache, delvic cache, data, sytem, internal storage and format data 3 times each and that seems to wok well for me. Of course your going to lose all your data but its a very good wipe method.

Y would should he do that "always" before using Odin? Odin wipes EVERYTHING anyways. Really just a pointless step

Again.... this isn't necessary being Odin wipes ur phone 100% clean. Leaves NOTHING but the stock files on ur internal. A wipe of micro sd might b a good suggestion if he has one

Just a suggestion and it can't hurt anything.

Why not just remove the sd card to see if that stops the freezes?

Boot to recovery now that you are running and wipe data/factory reset the device again. ..
Then boot and set up again. ..
Then run the device for 2 days before evaluation again. .
Android OS MUST SETTLE before any real trouble shooting can be done with any accuracy. ..g

Can I get more info, like which rom did you flash, and how did you root your phone, what process did you take? Did you do wipes prior to flashing. Thanks, will try to help you out.
Go back into recovery and flash your backup or use Odin to flash a stock rom, your just in a bootloop. You mustve flashed a bad download.

Seanster_GBaxe EX v1.4.1:Taste of ICS is the rom... pretty much used odin to install cwm base recovery 5.0.2.6 I dont think i wipe prior to flashing. Once I installed the rom it booted fine but everything was slow and my phone kept getting errors, so then i went back in cwm and wiped all the data, now when i try to install the rom again it just takes like 5 seconds to install, i reboot the phone but it keeps going into a loop.... at this point i am pretty lost. I am new to this stuff... :/
How do i download this rom/kernel/mod........
Oh thats right its in the wrong section ah thats it no wonder i couldnt figure it out (sarcasm)

On a more helpful note just wipe and reflash another rom or a backup if you have it, if that fails odin to the stock rooted rom.

Did you goninto recovery and wipe cache dalvik and permissions. Or even better just factory reset after installing stock rom. Odin to stock doesnt faxtory reset your phone. Old files could still be lingering in there.

Try redownloading the rom, then in recovery make sure you are A. Wipe Factory Data Reset, B. Wipe Cache, C. Advanced Menu Wipe Dalvik D. Advanced Menu Wipe Battery Stats, E. Mounts/Storage Format Cache, System, Boot, Emmc, Then flash the Rom.
Silly question but are you installing 1.4 before flashing 1.4.1? Cause I think that ROM needs the 1.4 full flashed prior to flashing 1.4.1.

can you give me a link to a stock ROM? the one i am using is SGH-T989-Stock-UVKID
so then I do what you just told me
A. Wipe Factory Data Reset, B. Wipe Cache, C. Advanced Menu Wipe Dalvik D. Advanced Menu Wipe Battery Stats, E. Mounts/Storage Format Cache, System, Boot, Emmc,
Then flash the Rom - Go into Odin and Select the file(click pda), then click start - correct?

Random Boot Loops?

I've had my phone for quite some time now and i've done a lot of flashing and stuff until recently i encountered a problem so i did a complete wipe and went back to stock (Stock Modem, ROM, etc).It's been working fine for about a day or so and now all of a sudden i had a random Boot Loop.No biggie. Went into CMW (After i went stock i re-rooted my phone) and wiped the Cache. Working fine again booted up normally.. Then about 15 minutes later it does it again!Why is this?Permanent fix please ?
Ok.The fix i had earlier was working fine for quite some times and I had to do a cache wipe every now and then since it was just drop into a Boot Loop randomly.But now(Today) I had to do a cache wipe AND Darkside Cache wipe at least 7 times(4 times within about 2 hours).A permanent fix for this?Will i have to use Odin to do another Stock fix and then re-root?
Use darkside cache wipe instead. It's in the dev section.

I could have sworn i did that as well.Guess i must have pressed a button and cancelled it by mistake. Doing it over.Thanks .
I suggest you use ODIN and flash to stock and start over on a clean slate. After that, simply root and go about your normal flashing.

Ok i flashed to stock with the Manuel I found in the SGH-T989 Development page(Once again) And i STILL receive boot loops..

problems flashing roms, big problems.

I don't know what caused it... but no matter what rom I flash it seems that it always gets through the bootup screens and then gets stuck on the samsung screen, and won't load into a custom rom. It seems like something happened to my system and I have tried everything and nothing it working. I can only run with the stock rom it came with and thats it.
I have no clue whats going on. When I flash from ROM to ROM I take these steps.
1- put rom on SD card
2- nandroid
3- factory wipe from recovery
4- wipe cache
5- wipe dalvik
6- flash rom
7- flash gapps (if on AOSP based)
8- reboot.
I have went back to stock via odin, then reflashed via odin, repushed the recovery, basically started from scratch and nothing is letting me install a new rom. Wasn't really having any problems until today... any ideas? :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
edit- I was thinking, I did ALOT of debloating at the beginning using the aroma debloater, and did some minor debloating myself.. I wouldn't think this would have anything to do with a new rom because when I wipe everything it does a fresh install of everything... So I am stuck.

Yes. Although if you're updating a rom i.e. cm or aokp a cache/dalvik cache wipe will do (unless stated otherwise).

see my main thing was everyone was talking about how if I was going from a modded stock rom to a modded stock rom there would not need anything except cache wipes... and i still get hung..:/
I recommended backing up all of your data, do a factory reset, then go back to stock with an Odin package from development. From there you can root or whatever you please.

(Q) Phone Randomly Decided To Bootloop Today?

Ok I had purchased the ZL battery and have been using it since day 1, however today i got home around 11:25pm. i had put my phone on charge @ 3PM. I just finished my 3rd cycle for the battery so i'd figure its done charging as it indicated it was, and turn it on and now all of sudden constant bootloop out of nowhere.
What could have caused this? it was working just fine before i didn't change anything at all.
I'm Running Stock TW w/Saber Kernel. I had purchased the ZL battery a week ago and ever since no problems, nor did i flash anything at all. I've been on TW way before i even thought of buying the battery.
So what could have caused this to undergo a bootloop session.
I went into recovery and wiped dalvik and cache and still is doing a bootloop. Should i do a factory reset however i have no backup because i have been fine since and I've been on Stock TW figure this wouldn't happen.
This used to happen on my epic if I ever left the battery out too long. I always just reflashed either the rom or the kernel. Worst case scenario you just nandroid and restore data.

Try going into Advanced then format system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.
Then swipe to confirm and repeat this 2 more times for a total of 3 Advanced wipes
If that still doesn't help then follow the same procedure but after performing an Advanced wipe 3x go into Format Data to format your internal storage.

Seems like you already did a full stock restore. I had the same symptoms, different rom tho. Reflashing the rom without wiping allowed me to boot up normally and with all of my data is intact. FYI for next time.

ODIN flash isn't wiping phone

Hey guys, this isn't my first time going back to stock through ODIN but using the root66_TMO_T999UVDMD5 md5, everything goes well however when it boots up it goes straight into my homescreen with all my old stuff on it. Why is this happening? the internal sd card hasn't been wiped for some reason. Previous times I've done this there hasn't been this sort of problem. So I just wiped everything manually from recovery after also odin flashing twrp.
I have had that happen. But I go straight to recovery and do a factory reset and it is wiped.
Also, are u on the latest version?

So then how was I able to get it fully wiped all previous times? Maybe I had already wiped from twrp before ODIN flashing and it just hadn't occurred to me this time. Thanks!

Unsure. Perhaps older firmwares wiped data. But if you look in the .tar file, you will not see a data image, which means that partition won't be flashed (aka wiped).

I think its more confusion on many peoples part. Odin may have done this on older phones or okder versions, but I've never had my data wiped by odin flashing. And I've done it a lot!
