[Q] N7100 Boot Loop + Stuck at Samsung word - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone! This is my first post here, actually ive been here just for stalking and follow tutorials. this forum is the best for me and helped me a lot. But, 2 days ago, I got an issue that cant be solved by me by refering threads. So I decided to register to forum, and ask by myself.
Here's the problem.
"There has been sudden booting while I was using Facebook on my device, while I reboot it, it stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note II -GTN7100" after a while, it reboot again. It happened suddently. It happens continously untill now. It has been 2 days I search through the forum but none can help me."
My device details while the problem occur :
ROM : Paranoid Android 3.99 RC2
Recovery : TWRP 2.6.3.0
kernel : stock
and my device can turn into download mode, and TWRP. but only cant boot into ROM.
I did try to flash many ROM via TWRP. And do fresh format.(Clean evrything via TWRP). Install various ROM and it seemed cant help to boot into the ROM.
I also try to flash stock from SAM, via Odin, but it helpless.
I also discovered that is not the power button issue, as i can boot into recovery without restarting by itself. So I think it is not about the power button.
I tried to use other recovery, and flash CWM via Odin, but cant get to CWM recovery mode. I also tried to flash stock recovery, but same as CWM. Only TWRP is working on my phone.
I searched thorugh the forum, and many ask to do factory reset, but it helpless for me.
Thanks everyone for any suggestion! and dont ask me to go to Samsung centre as my device warranty is expired.:cyclops:

The only thing i can suggest here is use odin and Flash 4.1.2..
after flashing it will reboot.. go to stock recovery and do a wipe..
that should help i guess..!

hello sir, I downloaded the 4.1.2 and flashed it, and refered to this Dr Ketan thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
the Odin "PASS!" and I just like heal yeah! when the phone rebooted, it shows Samsung GNote II GTN7100 and rebooted again. I tried to boot into recovery using the key vol up hom power. But nothing happened. Seems like it override my TWRP.
So, not working. Any other suggestion sir?

does it say anything about efs or pit being corrupted
well flash this http://d-h.st/fWr and try install any custom rom and get back with the result
and what about philz recovery that does not work even http://d-h.st/iII

Try flash cf-auto root through odin. Usually the phone will successfully booting after the auto root process done.

Flashed philz but seem no work, flash back TWRP and working but still stuck at boot logo. Now i can go to TWRP n download mode. Weird right?

Tried it, nothing working now.

well it seems its time to it to service guys it should have booted fine or maybe the pit partition damaged is not letting it boot
if u have tried solving that way then finally to ss
flash pit partition http://d-h.st/Dlv,then flash the firmware stock

I read through the thread and was about to say what the above poster suggested. Make sure you tick repartition in Odin when you've input the pit file.

Sadly solve
Hello everybody.... I assumed that this topic now shall be closed since I sadly solved it.
The solution :
After trying stock ROM and cant enter stock recovery, I tried many official rom 4.1.2 and many custom rom, but nothing can help.
So I decided to go to Samsung centre, then they tried to flash with their own odin, so the same thing happened. After a few checkings, ive been told that my motherboard got problem. So I need to change a new motherboard but I dont want.
So, i decided to buy a brand new phone that same price as the new motherboard =.= .... Thanks to all that trying to help me especially mr Ankit.. Many2 thanks and i appreciate it.. Taking 3 days without sleeping to figure it out seems helpless..
If there are any possible solution, please share to me since Im still following this thread..

Got the exact same problem!!! :'(

Continuing from my above post, I also faced the same situation...Samsung service center guys told me that my motherboard needs to be replaced and it would cost Indian Rs.7400/-, so I am going ahead with the replacement, as now also a new note 2 costs min. Rs.22k in India. And at the Rs.7500/- price point even the new 'Android One' phones launched by Google are no where near to the punch packed by Note 2.
Hope this post helps other beleaguered souls like me.

Pity, mate- but I think motherboard change will in fact provide you a new phone. Samsung has used some third party components that have not been so reliable. New motherboard will have aproven components.

Wonder broken?

Hey guys,
I've got a problem with my galaxy wonder.. It won't start anymore. If I try to start it just shows the "Samsung" Logo for about a second and restarts again and again. It stucks in a loop showing the samsung logo and then restarts.
I can still enter the download mode but not recovery. I tried to flash stack rom with Odin but it doesnt help.
Before the problem appeared I had the newest blacknotes rom installed. And this wasn't working very fine. Sometimes there were many FCs so I needed to restart the phone. Sometimes it just restarted without any message etc.
And today it wanted to restart again but then stuck in that loop. When i recognized the loop I took out the battery cause I thought it needs a "real" reboot.
Thanks in advance,
domidinosaur RAWR
Its Okay , No Problem you can just reflash it again using stock ROM. ^_^
It will be fixed.

Thanks for your answer.
But as said, I already tried to flash a Stock Rom with Odin. Seems like it worked but the "Samsung-Restart Loop" is still there x:

I had this problem before. when I flash 7th CWG ROM, my phone receiving so many FC, so I reboot and then its going to bootloop and bootloop again and I can't go to recovery too. Yes I try to flash stock ROM with odin but nope was change. The only way is to bring your phone back to SSC, they will replace your motherboard and it cost nothing on me
good luck
sorry for my bad english
Try flashing cwm again using Odin and then some custom ROM. That is what I had done.

I tried to do this too but without any success. Phone keeps stuck in that loop x:
And so I can't enter CWM to install a custom rom.
I guess the only way is to make use of my warranty. Am I right thinking that my warranty isn't lost when I have reflashed samsung firmware to the phone?

when flashing with odin, during the reboot do you see the robot? if you do then press the menu button when you see the robot and you will be in recovery. then do a factory reset, reboot.
Problem
I have the same problem. Phone is restarting again again and again. Can not open the recovery mode just download mode is available but when you try to flash with odin it isnt rebooting. How can i do about that i dont know.
Is there anyone have an idea ?
Finally after one month of waiting I got my Galaxy W back!
I made use of my warranty and Samsung replaced the mainboard.
But it took very long (4 weeks) / Maybe because of galaxy s3 problems or something..
@Aesir77
Use ODIN to reflash original firmare, although it won't reboot it is flashed.
After that you can make use of or warranty and bring it back to the store where u bought it (Thats what I did and it was EXACTLY the same problem)
Good luck mate!

Note 2 stuck on bootscreen - Need help please :(

Hello,
I have a very strange problem with my Note 2.... Yesterday i checked mails on my Note 2 when it suddenly shut down and rebooted.
First i didnt think it was a big issue but when it was on login screen where i have to enter my PIN i just touched the screen and it shut down again. Same thing happened again after that. Now it doesnt even boot up anymore... It just stays on Samsung bootscreen all the time. I can get into Download mode but not into recovery for some reason. I had no custom rom or anything else installed on my device. It was completely Stock.
I already tried flashing the firmware again via Odin but without any success....
Now i don't know what to do anymore and hope one of you guys can help me get back into my phone as i don't want to lose the data on it
Thank you in advance
Best regards

Try doing a data/factory reset and wipe cache in recovery, you`ll loose the data though. But it is the only way imo.

Anyone else with an Idea? What i also think is strange is that it says in Download mode that i downloaded 5 Custom Roms and my Current Binary and System Status are Custom???? I just installed the official firmware from SamMobile again -.-
Noone able to help me? I'm going insane at the moment cause nothing works.... Even when i plug in the usb cable the phone boots to the Galaxy Note 2 screen and nothing else happens.... In download modus it says i'm on a custom rom what i never installed to begin with....i only installed Stock Rom.... Please help what should i do T_T
So now i flashed the Rescue Rom but it did not change anything. Odin completed the flashing without errors though nothing changed. Also tried flashing Stock Firmware again but the status in download mode still shows custom system and binary.... Could it be that Odin is not flashing correctly though it is not giving me any errors?
I'm really desperate at the moment -.-
My galaxy s1 was bricked at one stage. I took the battery out and left it for am hour then I got it to boot into download mode. Are you putting the right rom on it? Like a whole factory rom?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Yes already tried Stock Rom and also the rescue rom.... nothing changed
Can you flash CWM onto it? Then turn it off., hold down volume up, home and then power Tool you see Samsung logo?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Already tried root with CWM but it won't go into recovery either. I also tried flashing the rescue rom with Pit-File but it does not go further than bootscreen. At the moment i really don't know whats wrong with the phone and i'm a bit desperate right now....
Isn't there anybody who's able to help me with this, please?

Hi TS,
U need to first let us know which variant of the note 2 u are using.
is u want to solve the bootloop issue,u need to follow these step as posted by someone here:
1. flash CWM using odin,then boot into CWM(power+vol up+that centre button) then wipe dalvik> cache partition > then data reset
2.DL sammy's official firmware for your note variant (7105 or 7100 or whatever)
3.flash sammy's firmware thru odin
4.let phone boot into android
then do whatever you need to do.
I had the same prob at you did,followed that guy's advice and not everything is back to factory and i can send it in for warranty.

Has my phone bitten the dust?

Really hope somebody can help.
I have had a galaxy note 2 for about 6 months on Vodafone UK N7100.
Today while i was at work i felt something hot in my pocket, my phone was very hot (i was not doing anything with it) The phone was stuck on the Samsung boot screen.
After a few minutes of looking at this i realised it was stuck and removed the battery. SInce then i have been unable to get past the boot screen, i can't get into download mode or reboot mode. The only things to note. When i turn my phone on a red light flashes. When i plug my charger in the charge icon appears on screen but it does not charge.
Really hoping somebody can help.
I had rooted my phone if that helps (it did not cause this problem and has been functioning rooted for months)
Update
Just managed to get to a screen which warned me about installing custom software and did i want to continue. I said yes and it is now downloading something
How did you get to that screen?

this would be your last hope http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32273406&postcount=5 follow the guide properly marked in red and remember to tick re partition in odin, if this doesnt work then your phone has been affected by sds due to 4.1.1 rom so u need to take it to service for motherboard replacement which is borne by samsung so no worries, and remember never to use a 4.1.1 rom in note 2 get the 4.1.2 rom or rather they will install that only this time and in future just go through dr.ketan thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 here it will guide you perfect instead following some untidy guides
for odin use 3.04 it works great though i havent tried new version as 3.04 works great you will get it in ketan thread

Thanks for the advice i am downloading the file now.
I did not manage to install the rom i suggested i was using so i don't think that could have been the issue. My phone just seemed to get hot then stop working, i hope as you suggested it is not my motherboard. Did you say that i should still be covered by the warrenty even though i had rooted my device?

well your reply is quite confusing
1.did you manage to flash the rom with pit in odin. was it successful or you get any errors
2.does your phone start now
3.if not then your phone has died and it needs to be taken to service guys ,but just check what the status of your phone in download mode is it official or custom . if its official then no worries just go ahead and take it to service guys and tell them abt your issue that the phone stopped working while in pocket dont info them that you rooted it ever just make them blv that it was a sds caused by 4.1.1 rom so they replace it free.
i mean your motherboard
Sorry if i am confusing matters.
I did not manage to flash anything it was just coming up with failed no PIT partition.
Current binary samsung official
My system status is custom
Are these ok to return my phone with?
I decided to take the advice offered and download the recovery but got confused.
Do i need all of the files from that link or just 1?
I downloaded the first one N7100XXDMB2_Factory
It contained
boot
cache
hidden
modem.bin
recovery
sboot.bin
system
tz
None of these are the md5 format
i am now thinking i should have downloaded XXDLJ2_OXA_Factory
Is that correct or was i right with the first file. If i was right downloading the first file then where do i get the md5 files required for odin to do my factory restore.
Know these are very noobish questions just doint want to do anything wrong
In answers to your questions....
1) Did i manage to flash the rom with it in odin
No
I got confused which files i should be using and did not want to do anything without being sure
2) My phone does not start
3) When i am in download mode my phone shows

I have managed to get hold of the correct files, however when i try to run them in ODIN ODIN does not get past the stage get PIT for mapping.
Can i try anything without the PIT stage?

If your phone doesn't have a partition map, then no, you can't.
You can try, as a last resort, using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43760271&postcount=22
I had a similar problem not too long ago (although it started with all apps crashing and then stuck at bootscreen) and managed to fix my phone.

EFS is a part of the system that stores your serial number, IMEI and everything related to your phone specifically. You are generally able to back it up using a custom recovery or using software on your PC while the phone is rooted and booted on the android OS. Since you cannot boot into recovery and also can't boot into android itself, I don't think you would be able to back it up.
If you ever installed a custom rom with AROMA, there is a chance you have it backed up already. But if you don't explicitly remember...

Ah ok,
I will give the guide a go and let you know how i go.
Thanks again
I get the error message write operation failed in ODIN, i am guessing that means its dead.
Do you happen to know if i take it back to my phone company to fix if they will be able to tell i had rooted it
on the download screen i have
Current binary samsung official
My system status is custom
could they tell anything from that?

[Q] Please help.Phone soft bricked(?)Cant go in recovery,only downloading/Odin mode..

Members, really done it this time!!!:crying:
I have successfully re flashed stock firmware today 4.1.2 back on the phone. It worked great, thanks to you guys help. :good: Needed to solve a few issues, I was so happy to achieve that.
THEN I tried to root my phone again, and install CWM via ODIN (3.07)I unzipped the CWM file added on the PDA etc . Waited, then FAIL. Phone booted back up a message saying ''Firmware upgrade encounter an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies, and try again'' With a pic' of a pc and a phone. Have tried to fix with Kies, though no luck, I guess I don't have a recovery system in the phone now
Now I can't boot into recovery mode Tried just goes in the message above.
Lucky though there is a glimmer of hope as I can get into downloading mode/Odin by pressing -volume down, menu, power button.. Says system status ;Official, Current Bin :Custom. Custom Bin Down yes (5 counts)
So I can't use the phone, just in the 'modes' described above.
I am a newbie to this techie stuff, enjoying learning, that said, I lost a lot of possessions n' money last year, and the phone is the only possession I have now, and it's not working now.
If any members have any ideas, if and how I can fix my phone. Please let me know. I am hoping I can use some files to fix(?) with Odin.?
Thanks in advance, and big respect for any help to get my loved phone up and running. Or do you think rather than waste days trying to find info' and fix it, I should get my credit card out and buy another phone?
Sincerely appreciated any help, Alex
Have you used philz recovery or CWM recovery?Which baseband version are you using?

Update
Tried to sleep, but could not, so burning mid night oil. Thought all I need to do, is reflash firmware, and should be good. Seems like the USB ports/or USB cable is the problem? Seems in Odin it adds/ removed. Tried flashing firemware, then removed 1/4 the way through. Not good...
At least I think this is what happened during CWM /root before.
Going to try to tomorrow day time on another laptop.
If you guys/girls have an ideas/thoughts,please let me know:good:
Thanks, Alex

Reflashed this today 4.1.2 XAMC7 STOCK from this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43797796
Guess thats the baseband? Can't obviously access settings now to check my device.
Like I said, had just reflashed stock successfully, and had the stock recovery ,then tried to add CWM with ODIN on the download mode, though the download was a fail, maybe as my USB/ports seem to be iffy...? So phone has no recovery, only the download mode and other page as explained above.
No so have not tried those 2 recovery as phone as no recovery at all now !)=
PS In download mode, does the battery still charge, if on the usb cable, ? Worried battery draining away.
Thanks in advance for any help, Regards, Alex

OK Thanks will try and flash that in Odin. If you have info' info' how I flash it with Odin, do I open in PDA then flash??
If you have the file link, that would be great.. I really can't afford money to buy new phone, and time spend trying to fix phone I should be job hunting. Though need phone for communications as I am stuck in small village, no transport/buses out even..
When I tried to flashflash firmware again, on Odin I get fail message saying ''complete(write) operation failed'' guess phone stuck somewhere from previous mid-download usb fail..
Thanks for any help, Alex
Yes, you beauty'..Thanks..
Flashed the CWM on Odin, then fe flash firmware, now back ' in' the phone ! Ye ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Battery was on 17% btw so guess there is no charge on download mode...Need to check cwm installed properly, then
just got to root it again..will wait for battery to top 1st Thanks for your help!!! Respect
just to add (for others knowledge)the problem was a faulty USB port orginally

i have done full wipe before flashing the rom, so the problem is another.
my last possibility is flashing stock rom with odin, i hope it will work, now i'm downloading it, i read on a forum that maybe the recovery that kingo flashed has breaked the data partition, if it's that, what can i do to fix it?

I think you have soft bricked your tab . Yeah , stock firmware flashing is your last hope . Otherwise if it again fails then it is a hard brick & it will be very difficult to revive your tab .
Don't forget to press thanks If I helped you in anyway .

same troubles...
Having the same troubles with my new tab 3 7inch wifi.
Odin & stock rom are the only way out....i can reinstall and root the stock rom, but each time i try to install a zip file the tab only reboot in recovery.....
I don't know yet if using a pre-rooted rom via odin can solve the issue..... i'll try soon.....
Hello,
I wanted to restore my galaxy tab 3 7.0 to factory defaults so i went to settings and pressed restore to factory defaults. After some loading process the tab went off and restarted directly after that. But now it only starts in recovery mode and i cant find a way to exit the recovery mode and go to the normal stuff.
In recovery mode (twrp) i also have chosen for the restore and it loaded the backup file i made just before the root process, it said restore succesfull or completed or some like that, but i still cant exit twrp/recovery mode.
Im not an expert on rooting and stuff, though rooting went succesfully back then, so anyone got a clue or some answers for me?
Many thanks,
Robin.
Okay, i think i know how this happened. You selected REBOOT TO RECOVERY with any software method after flashing the old version of the recovery. install the latest version, labeled "KK fix" or something. And this problem wont exist on your device.
Can some one upload the boot.img from a working tab of SM-T210(R] preferred , T215, T211, T217. thank you
