[Q] Bricked stock note 2 (7100) - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I bought the Mrs a note 2 last xmas as she loved my one. Today its thrown a major wobly.
It turns on and displays the "Galaxy note 2" initial boot screen, but reboots after about 6 seconds. I cant get into recovery and if i try going to flash/download mode it appears but reboots after 6 seconds.
Completly stumped as it hasnt been flashed/modded and is still running stock. The only thing that happened was about 8 months ago i replaced the screen/entire front of the phone as she dropped it.
hopefully someone can help.

[GSM] Galaxy Nexus dead ?

The phone started restarting on it's own a few days ago. Only one day has passed and then it stopped going over the booting process and got stuck there. It gets really hot and freezes.
Tried getting it into recovery mode and it freezes there aswell. Had some pictures i wished to save but seems theyre gone now.
Everything is stock , GSM 4.0.1 android.
Anyone else had this kind of problem ?
I have the same problem. My phone has 1 week, I was playing for one hour, and then, it restarted and never passed again from the "Google" logo, and it freezes here and in the recovery (with strange colours). It seems a graphic card failure, I don't know.
I called to Vodafone, and waiting for a new Galaxy nexus.
Mine froze at the "google logo". Tried recovery and all sorts of things. But it was as if the flash had gone missing.
I returned it and the service shop replaced the whole motherboard as it was defect. It sucked but I'm hoping that I won't have the same issue anymore.

[Q] Note II IR Single Flash

Hello,
It's been a while since I've used my Note II N7100 because 1. it's stopped working (not sure why, I wasn't attempting to root it) and 2. I purchased the Note 3 shortly after the Note II killed over.
Here's what's going on:
Every time I press the power button to turn the phone on the only thing that happens is a single red flash to the left of the front camera. The screen doesn't come on at all. Any idea what the issue is and how to fix it?
What I've done:
1. removed the battery and held the power button for 60 seconds, put the battery back in and I get the same thing as stated above.
2. left the phone alone for about 3-4 months and I just plugged the phone back in this morning. hopefully someone knows how to fix this and I can work on doing so myself later today.
I've done some reading around on related links here that were suggested per my subject line but I hadn't had any luck. I wouldn't mind getting this thing back up and running and giving it to my dad. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I think you should first try and rule out a dead battery

Note 4 ATT keeps locking up and restarting

Hey all, I've had my note 4 for almost 2 years now and its been running like a top up until a week ago. One morning when i woke up and the entire GUI was slow, even flipping pages would cause the phone to seize up and restarting. Also the reboots are painfully slow, sometimes taking 5 minutes to get from the Samsung galaxy logo to the home screen. Also when i go into the factory settings (power + up + home) it is really slow taking about 5 minutes. I thought it was my boot loader, so i flashed 5.1.1 from Odin and it still has the symptoms. Now i'm running 6.0.1 beta and the symptoms persist. I was reading that the SD card might be causing the issue and taking it out might help, its the only thing i haven't tried and i'm skeptical. I hope this isn't ATT way of trying to get me to buy a phone from them lol. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Welcome to the club. Same sh*t happened to me =(, and a bunch of others on this forum a couple months ago... Ended up selling the Note 4 and upgrading to the S7 Edge. Theres absolutely no solution, it seems like a hardware failure, trust me. I went through AT&T, Best Buy, and Samsung. No one could fix it, so I gave up.

Note 2 Bricked.

I have been using this phone since 2 weeks of the initial release of the galaxy note 2. For years, there has been no problem whatsoever. A few weeks ago this happened:
1. Phone suddenly powered off and factory resetted. I was in the middle of using it. The only thing I installed recently at that time was pokemon GO, and uninstalled it a few days later (Because i have no friends to play with, lol). Luckily, i have backed up data before.
2. Phone started working normally again, then a few days later it just powered off again with no warning. I just left it for 5 minutes and that happened. It is now stuck on the "Galaxy Note II" screen. I haven't been able to get past that screen anymore.
3. I tried charging the phone, the only thing that popped up was the battery logo with the loading circle. No 5 dots at the bottom, no green battery.
What I have tried to fix this:
1. Factory resetting using Power+Menu+Volume up.
2. Flashing the stock ROM.
3. Using samsung kies.
4. Taking the phone to a samsung service center.
When i took it to the service center, the guy said that there is a "part" of it that is broken and needed to be replaced. That guy didn't specify what part it is and asked $180 for repairs. I said no, because that is the same as buying a used one right now. Also, the guy said that this is caused by using the phone while charging. Is this true?
Also, i found out that this might be caused by eMMC failure or something like that. Can you help me go through this?

My Nexus 5x got the bootloop yesterday, can't fix it by myself.

Hello
My Nexus 5x 16 GB (LG H791 ) got the bootloop, i need to fix my phone !
Soo yesterday was a very hot day.
I ran around a bit outside and took a lot of pictures. But it was very hot outside. Whenever I take pictures, HDR has to be rendered first, it consumes a lot of power and I can imagine that the Nexus 5x gets hot. When I put it in my pocket, it still worked. After I got it out again, the screen was completely black and it could not boot anymore. It was just black, nothing worked.
Later, I went home to look at the Nexus 5x.
I looked at whether it was possible to get into fastmode, dloadmode and recoverymode, but the screen remained black.
I've fixed other cell phones before, but with the Nexus 5x, I still have some little hopes.
I opened the nexus and cleaned it completely with 100% alcohol. Every corner and every connector.
After cleaning I switched it on again and suddenly it started again.
But it only showed the colorful google animation and it restarted after a short time and it repeated itself endlessly.
From there I noticed that it is the well-known bootloop problem.
I knew before that it will eventually come to this problem, so I unlocked my OEM (Bootloader) about 1 year ago :good: !
So I googled and there seem to be some fixes !?
First of all, I tried THIS and it didn't help
I tried also from this solution the TWRP recovery. Jeah i got in to the TWRP recovery and installed the EX4_10_5X.zip, but with some errors. The Nexus is still repeating... BUT!! The google logo animation was stuck, no animation!
Soo I googled more and more and saw a new solution!
THIS! So i did all 4 stepts expect step 1, because it's already unlocked.
JEAH! My Nexus 5x seems to be ok again ! After I set everything up, the Nexus 5x has frozen and crashed ! Man damn!! I was sooo happy..
Then i tried to flash the latest factory image from https://developers.google.com/android/images?hl=en#bullhead
I ran the "flash-all.bat", got no problems the first time, but the Nexus is still bootlooping :/
So i flashed it again with a factory image from 8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.011, Dec 2017).
But this time the Nexus has freezed and turned off!
It restarted by itself, but there was no Google logo anymore. It restarted each time after the message came that the Nexus is unlocked.
If I go into fast mode, it freezes after a short time, it is not possible to flash an image on it, because after a "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command, the Nexus just stops responding, so I have to disconnect the battery.
If I reconnect the battery immediately, the screen will still be black.
So I always have to wait 3 minutes until I can connect the battery again. This is exactly as with a USB-C cable.
I got one time a crash or greenscreen !
I saw a thread about (BLOD).
I downloaded the latest fix files. After i got really quick into the fastboot mode, i flashed this two things and jeah i got my google logo back, but it still freezes and it won't turn on, only if I reconnect the battery after some minutes.
Now my problems:
No Google logo (Rare)
It stays off after it freezes
It's hard and randomly that I get into the recovery mode with TWRP. If I make it, the nexus freezes again
I can not flash an image because the screen stays black every time I restart
I can't fix it, i need your help ! Pls
Community ? Can you help me ?
@MrClean24, I'd say goodbye: even if you succeed to make it run with sleeping cores, it's slow and wont be stable.

That was my first idea, but i don't wan't to use any money for this phone
If it can't be fixed, then i will buy a Pixel 3a phone.
@MrClean24, good idea (I'm not favouring bin generally, but you wont fix damaged hardware by software plasters durably)
Jeah its a hardware problem :/ I think mine can't be fixed anymore, but thanks
