[Q] NEED Help!!! Continual rebooting... - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

I've been on XDA for sometime but this has me frustrated. My note 3 keeps rebooting over and over. It will show the Note III screen then the Samsung screen and then the white with pink T-Mobile screen. After several seconds...it starts to reboot this same manner over and over. Every once and a while it will boot up to lock screen. When I swipe the screen it says that the system is not responding. It asked me do I want to wait or cancel. Eventually it just reboots and starts the process over and over. I have tried odin maybe 50 times. Tried kies. It will load the odin tar stock rom and say successful but the rebooting just starts again. I've tried a stock kernel and I tried the green compusion kernel. Please, if you have the knowledge to help, I would be very grateful. I've flashed roms and odined bricked devices for years...but this one has me stuck....Thanks ahead of time. It will go into download mode fine. It will go into recovery fine as well.
I have read the other threads and post similar to this one but they haven't help up to this point and do not seem ti be active anymore.

I was on Darthstalker and was flashing Jedi Elite. I may have in the process also tried to restore a backup with efs. But...the problem was already occurring.

so i take it since you have flashed odin back to stock, you are getting stock recovery menu and not twrp or cwm right?

k, when you odin back to stock are you using AP and CSC or just AP?
**and, are you using the stock tmo firmware off of sammy website or one for the root?

Have you tried the complete restore function in Kies? Where you have to enter your Model & Serial number?

Using the stock downloaded from sammobile. And I have tried kies restor with the model and sn. It load perfectly on the phone just like odin but when the phone starts to boot up....it bootloops.
I just load the md5 file in PDA and hit start.

okay, have you tried using the AP and CSC in the de la vega root method instead? i would try that if you haven't.
** for your comvenience
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484223
if you can't get CSC and AP availability in odin,
close odin
open odin.ini
change csc and ap to =1 under {ButtonOption]
reopen odin and flash AP and CSC

wouldn't know, hasn't happened to me yet. if there's one thing i've noticed with this stuff, is that it is very rare to permanently (although slightly possible via software/software-hardware conflicts) to brick a device unless you do something really stupid. i'm fairly confident that joe will get this working.

Thanks for all the confidence and the humor as well. Yeah, I've come close to bricking several devices. But usually with some great insight and help....they are "usually" restorable . Thanks guys. I'm downloading root de la vega files now...soon we shall see....
Thanks for the twrp thread link. I've flashed twrp several times...no problem..the problem is when the rom starts to load it just loops and loops and...

well...tried it...it loaded. came to tmobile screen then began looping again...unbelieveable....

Reboot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache. That's power, home and volume up button to get into recovery.

try twrp and restore previously working system or boot partition. i'd only try one at a time.
OOOOOORRRRRR
try reflashing stock kernel then wiping cache, dalvik, fix permissions.
if that don't work try a custom kernel then wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions.
i think you are one step closer.

Message came up and said "process system isn't responding" and then looped again....any more ideas?

You let it totally boot. then go into recovery and wipe data and cache right?
I restored system and then boot from a stock rooted backup. Still didn't work...So, I'll try the odin with stock and wipe data and cache...thanks guys. Maybe one of these will work.

No when you odin you should still have the boot loop. Then you can do a battery pull and reboot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache.

(ADDED $20 BOUNTY IF YOU HELP ME, WILL PAYPAL YOU WITHIN 24 HOURS)
Hey guys,
I've been flashing ROMS for years and this is my first real issue.
I tried to upgrade from an earlier version of CM10 to the newest one. After I flashed GAPPS this caused the phone to get stuck on reboot so I went back to CWM recovery.
ALL MY DOWNLOADED FILES WERE GONE IN CWM. Including all the roms I had, and my NANDROID backup (which I would have just reflashed right there).
I tried to Odin back to stock and it passes but gets stuck on the Samsung boot logo every time.
I've tried to scour threads on XDA and on Google. The closest thing I found was a thread where it mentioned I'd need Tmobile Bootchain commands but I can't find those either.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Have you tried to Odin using a different computer.. or redownload Odin and the files needed
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Odin the stock firmware you mean from a different comp? I don't think that is the issue since Odin shows that the flash was successful. The phone reboots itself and it gets passed the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen to the Tmobile Android 4g boot animation.
Additionally, people in the Verizon S3 forum are describing my issue exactly here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030)

I can't get into stock recovery man, or any kind of recovery.Holding vol up + home + power hangs permanently after the SGS 3 boot screen, nothing happens.
Go to Doc's stickie and I think it is in the 2nd post, there is an Odin flashable version of TWRP (maybe a copy of CWR but since I don't use it I'm not sure).
Flash that and let it "try" and reboot. It won't but you can do the key combo to get into TWRP recovery and either flash a ROM, Restore or at the very least Factory Reset, which would be my first choice.
Somewhere back there in your efforts, I think you may have erased your internal and if that is where your backups were kept then that might be why they are gone. Just a thought though.
In odin, uncheck auto reboot. Flash the recovery tar in pda spot. When it says pass, pull the battery and boot into recovery with volume up, home, and power. Release the power button when u feel the vibrate. Then thank mrmako777 for teaching me this tonight

Glad you had it all worked out.
This is exactly what was suggested to you before, since you said in your OP you had already odin back to stock. What I don't get is how come you were not able to boot into original recovery when it was just going on a boot loop. It doesn't matter. At least you fixed it. Enjoy

Help, stuck in a boot-loop

I rooted my Note II with SU. I have not flashed any roms, still running stock. The problem is this: I downloaded Triangle Away and reseted counter. Then I uninstalled it, and did a full unroot with SU. Status still said "modified" so I then did a hard reset of the phone. Now, it's stuck in a boot-loop wth the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" logo.
I have no idea what to do, and I guess I had no idea what I was doing. Please help me out!
wipe data and cache in recovery mode
I had the same unfortunate situation with you pal. I tried ti root my note 2 before and same things you did then bootloop occured. What I did was I downloaded my firmware and flashed via odin in pc. I cannot go to recovery before that.. now everything is fine. I will never try to root again unless I really needed it. Hoped I helped you

Cant install custom ROMs

I just got the GN3 and naturally, the first thing I did was root it. That took a bit of time because it didn't seem to want to stock. Supersu kept force closing and i would get a pop up saying its been prevented from opening. After a bit i got it though. and used titanium to freeze all the unwanted bloat. but EVERY time i try to install a ROM i get into a boot loop. Ive tried just about every rom that is so far available to us. ive tried removing the battery, wiping cache, and doing system restore. but i just constantly get boot loops. Any thoughts?

There are three places to look, the CWM bootloop thread, the N900T TWRP bootloop thread, and it's being discussed in the Original Android Development - TWRP thread..

No not in Odin. Factory reset in recovery. Be it twrp/cwm before the Odin flash or stock android recovery 3e after the.flash.....
.... Odin has never wiped apps . I've been using Odin since the vibrant..
And as for the backup restore.. I wouldn't until its all sorted out. Considering I was the first one in a boot loop. It could just be me scared lol

If you don't, the crap from the previous ROM is still there do that's why it's losing it's mind.

So you're phone is broke d#ck right now?
Try using ODIN and first this
I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip
From here http://d-h.st/CDK
Try flashing the tz only package first (in Odin), then the tz+param package to see if this gets your phone to boot. You may also need to boot recovery and do a factory reset.

It depends how hosed the phone is.
Next time phone gets stuck after you flash a ROM, pull battery, boot into recovery and factory reset/clear cache,
After you wait at least 3 minutes.
From me reading thru this thread. Sounds to me like you haven't tried TWRP recovery!!!
And sometimes flashing a Rom it gets stuck at the Samsung logo. You could have just tried dirty flashing the same Rom on top of what you just did. Usually helps most minor issues..
One other thing I notice is that your only doing a factory data reset. Which in turn isn't angrily erupting your whole system of everything. That was previously there from the other Rom flash!!
That's why we recommend writing your internal storage for a clean install.
But like @dicksteele told you!!
Make a back up then back that up on your PC...

[Q] Stock recovery flash through odin not working

Hello all,
previous searches have yielded limited answers so I apologize if this has been answered already.
I've been running CM for the past 5 or 6 months and have had zero problems with it. Last week however something happened and I got stuck in a boot loop. Me being a genius obviously didn't make a backup of anything so I flashed the stock rom via odin back onto the phone. After flash through odin I get the green light and pass indication. I go to restart the phone in recovery and I get the sick droid with the red yield sign above him. I then go to wipe/factory reset then reboot and it goes as far as the Samsung logo doing its animation and then stops just after and freezes. A regular power up without going into recovery first results in a boot loop.
I tried the recovery process through Kies and get the "This devices version cannot be updated" error. I am running the current version of Kies. I'm assuming its because it knows I've been rooted?
Note 2 Sprint
thank you in advance.

I dont think kies has NE2 yet so you can only use odin. Boot into recovery (stock is fine) and do a factory reset. Then power off (do not reboot) and go into download mode and flash ne2 tar again through odin. Then hopefully you will be able to boot. Note that 4.4.2 is a large rom and will take around 5 mins to actually boot up.

When I go to wipe/reset I get the dead android with the red triangle. I am assuming there is a fault in my stock recovery. I still went ahead and wiped/reset data and removed battery after, waited a few minutes, inserted battery, booted into download mode, flashed stock ne2, everything with odin passed. I booted phone up and it immediately went into a boot loop with the samsung logo for about 5 minutes then shut off completely. the battery has a full charge.
I'm open for other options if some are available.Would it be possible to skip the stock recovery and go straight into a custom recovery? I'm planning on rooting and installing CM again but obviously making a backup this time.

Like he said use odin to flash philz 6.07.9 but uncheck reboot option. Once everything is done disconnect and pull battery (this is safe as long as everything finished flashing). Then do recovery key sequence while inserting battery. Then flash your rom. If still having issues with booting I have a special file that you can odin that should fix it.

I downloaded the 6.07.09 philz zip file, however I'm having trouble finding the tar.md5 file to flash through odin.
Also, once philz touch recovery is installed can I immediately flash a recent version of CM11 nightly straight from my external SD card?
Thank you,
Rhett

Here is a direct link to 6.07.9 tar.md5 https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/l900/philz_touch_6.07.9-l900.tar.md5/
Once you flash it boot into recovery and flash cm11. If cm11 wont boot I have another file for you to use but it is only needed if cm11 does not boot.

I really appreciate the help,
I successfully flashed Philz recovery through odin. Booted to recovery and went to wipe/reset for a new rom, then installed zip - CM11 (yesterday's version) flashed successfully, selected reboot, samsung logo flashed and then phone shut off.
Am I rooted automatically if I have Philz recovery? They only thing I can think of is I don't have an OS at all on my device or I am not rooted?
Thank you in advance

Yeah kind of thought that might happen. Flash the attachment from this (fix.tar) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53035491&postcount=287 through odin and it should fix your issue. Also you are not rooted automatically because of Philz. Root is controlled by the rom but almost every custom rom (omni excluded) comes rooted so hope that helps that question.

I'm assuming the fix.tar changes the recovery to CWM? I flashed the fix zip successfully, rebooted, CM logo came on for a couple minutes, I did a happy dance, then the phone shut off again. Pulled battery, turned back on and its stuck in a boot loop now with samsung logo.

Do a factory reset (normal not clean for new rom) and see what happens.

When I flashed the fix.tar. it changed the recovery to CWM which only gives me the option to wipe data/factory reset, whereas with the philz I had the option to wipe for just a new rom. or a complete reset
Good then you can mix them up. Do the factory reset. Also you sure it is cwm or is it the stock recovery? I have not used that file since 4.4.2 came out but thought it was all stock.

Yes, after the fix.tar flash the recovery changed to CWM. However, I'm still having no luck. I tried system wipe/restore then reboot but the phone boots to samsung logo then shuts off. Ill go over the steps I've taken again.
1. Flashed stock recovery through odin - got red triangle above dead android. I'm assuming problem with stock recovery
2. Flashed Philz recovery through odin - did factory reset, flashed current version of CM11, boot, samsung logo comes on then phone shuts off.
3. Flashed fix.tar. through odin.- boot, CM logo comes on like its booting for a minute, then phone shuts off, pull battery, restart phone then goes into a boot loop. wipe data does the same thing. After a couple times of that I'm now at a point where when I reboot from recovery it goes straight to samsung logo then shuts off. Holding the power button (like a regular startup) does nothing. The phone is only responsive to recovery mode and download mode. Not to mention the phone has to be plugged in to either the computer or the wall for any of this to work. Even though the battery indicator says the charge is at 100%.

So you can not run on battery power at all? Sounding like a hardware issue. If you know someone else with a note 2 I would try swapping batteries. After that I am not sure what to try.

I have a friend that also has a note 2, I'll try his battery this weekend and let you know what happens. Thanks again for all the help.

A different battery didn't help. I reflashed the stock rom, where I get the original problem of the red exclamation point laying down android screen. Is there a way to rid the download screen of the system status as being displayed as "custom" and the knox warranty void: as 1 with the condition the phone is in? I believe if I can reset the counter and prove it is a hardware problem they will cover it under warranty. If not I believe my only option is to destroy/crush the phone beyond repair and claim the insurance which is $200 to replace the phone.
Can you post the link where you got the stock rom?
