Never thought I'd be the one to create a thread like this..
After I flashed the OKV4 ROM, strange things started to happen (this was after a full wipe). Apps kept force closing, etc. Later that day, when I picked up my phone, I saw the samsung logo flashing over and over. Making me unable to enter recovery.
Download mode still worked though and I proceeded to flash a stock firmware via ODIN. This did not help. Oh, and the Odin flash succeeded, without rebooting my phone though...
So, I'm still stuck with my phone which can't seem to get out of this strange loop.
HELP :C
I remember reading somewhere here that if you have flashed a diff FW now and then a possibility the last recent kernel is still in the system folder etc....this is maybe the cause of the bootloop.
Since you had confirmed going to download mode is possible..this may work logically... Why not do the following :
Get your phone rooted via Recovery (there is a thread here by The-E)..Once done flash arco68's CWM Recovery....Boot to recovery n do this :
Factory Format....Wipe n Clear including Delvik...Then go to Mount n Storage wipe every single folder...System...Data...Etc (this will wipe every single data left behind but I assure you the CWM will not be wiped) once done reboot n put the device into DL mode and use Odin to flash back to the stock FW.
From this moment the recovery will be replaced by stock version and the stock FW will be restored....once it boot up..Walla as I had done this over two times :
Best of Luck !!

I think you misunderstood me :/
This isn't the ordinary bootloop where the boot animation plays. It resets literally 2 seconds after starting. This makes me unable to enter the recovery at all. Thanks for the effort tho.
Tl;dr:I can not enter recovery mode.

Hi Bro...
I already discuss it in this Tread couple a days a go
You not alone bro
I ask The-E to mention all Wonder user to get safety flashing
Until this time we didn't get way to fix it yet
Hi all. I'm in a real pickle here and hoping someone can tell me how to get out of this mess. It's a bit of a long story, but I'll summarise as best I can.
I've had my Galaxy Note 2 LTE (N7105) for a year and I rooted it pretty much the day after I got it. I'm not new to rooting at all (fourth Android device since 2010, all rooted), but I still feel like a noob at times. Over this 2014 Easter period I had time off so I decided to change ROMs.
I was previously using CM 11, which I had been using pretty much since I rooted. And I had updated CM at least once a month, sometimes more frequently. So I was looking for some new ROMs, downloaded about 5 and tried them out. The last two I tried was OmniROM (a 4.4.2 ROM) and CM 11 Remix (also a 4.4.2 ROM). I was using TWRP 2.7.0.2 to do the wipes, caches, flashes, etc. I had no issues flashing OmniROM, but when I flashed CM 11 Remix, I couldn't get in the first time. I was stuck in a boot loop. I pulled the battery, got back into recovery and tried flashing again. Still boot looping. I think the mistake I made was a Data Format. Either way, I finally got CM 11 Remix to load by first wiping, flashing the ROM, GApps, a sensor fix, a camera fix, Devil Kernel and then Super SU. However once in the ROM I was getting constant Google Play Store / Services FCs. Oh, and yes, I went through the typical brand new Android setups, entering my Google account and so on... I found that if I cleared data / caches on both Google Play Store app and Google Play Services app, it gave me temporary joy but as soon as I tried to download any app in Google Play I'd get the FC. Also, my signal was totally gone. I tried flashing back to OmniROM as it was my last known good and working ROM, but now that was boot looping. I even tried some of the other ROMs from that bunch I had, including AOKP. All would boot loop.
So after much trying different GApp packages, I decided to best thing to do would be restore it to stock, root again, then go for the custom ROM (hopefully CM 11 Remix) from a nice clean slate. So I did this. I downloaded the Android 4.3 stock ROM from SamMobile here. Installed Odin 3.07, then loaded it up and flashed the stock ROM. All seemed to go great, but when the ROM was done and phone rebooted, I get stuck in another boot loop! This time at the white "Samsung" logo with the glowing blue edges. Not the model number screen. Also my LED light is on blue, if that means anything.
So I found this thread (post at top of page) which suggests I need to flash the PIT file during the stock ROM installation with Odin. So I found the PIT file here, and I'm ready to flash this along with the stock ROM... HOWEVER, I read something somewhere (can't find it now) that implied if I'm on Android 4.3, flashing a PIT is a bad move. Can anyone comment on that? I guessing since the stock ROM is 4.3, I'm technically on 4.3 (even though I can't get into it).
Or if anything else I'm doing immediately stands out as a seriously stupid move, please let me know. I've been without normal use of my phone for a couple days now and ironically I'm at the point where I'm considering going without a phone for the rest of my life... LOL! AS IF I COULD!
Anyways, any help will be much appreciated!
EDIT: I just realised I should have posted in Troubleshooting, not General Questions... If mods want to move this, please do.
i just suggest that you flash the stock odin without the pit and see if its working out or not. sometimes playing with pit files can screw up your device even more...
btw... next time you play flashing... i'm suggesting you make a backup of your working custom. its will save you lots of time if this kind of problem happen.

I had a problem with my device where I was stuck at boot loader as well, but it was from the rar file of the rom(cm 11) cause I tried downloading it again and it worked.
I suggest you prepare Odin and the stock firmware, wipe factory/cache dalvik, system (advanced), then flash stock firmware, to bring everything back to normal.

Hmmm, I'm not stuck at boot loader, just boot loop. Maybe you meant that?
To clarify, all I can do now is...
1. Boot normally and end up in a boot loop (at "Samsung" white logo with glowing blue edges).
2. Boot into Download mode and from there I can use Odin to flash / install.
3. Boot into stock recovery, which I've never used before (only ever used custom recovery).
I've prepped Odin again, ready to flash the stock firmware, but I've never done a wipe / factory reset with Odin. I don't see any Advanced settings? Did you mean I can do it elsewhere? Cos I see I can do wipes / factory reset from stock recovery.
So should I do that AND then go into Download mode and flash stock firmware with Odin?

ohhh my bad, I meant boot loop (stuck at samsung logo), mine was stuck there but then after it restarts and goes into recovery mode
do these following steps and you should be fine with your device.
1. Go into recovery mode
2. Wipe factory/reset
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe dalvik
5. Advance > format/system
Now you have no rom or any OS to load,
1. Power off the device
2. Open Odin on your PC(right click run as administrator)
3. power on your note in Download Mode
4. Connect your device to your PC via USB
5. odin should recognize your device, something blue like " ID" or something there, you should be familiar with that.
6. click PDA, and find the official stock firmware zip you got it from samsung website, and make sure it fits your device(for example if you have your note from italy you should have ITV)
7. Hit Start and it should finish in 5-10 minutes.
Its the cleanest way with Odin, I did some crap on my device and that's how I return it to normal.

All good! Cheers man!
I actually went ahead and booted into stock recovery and did the factory reset and partition wipe before I saw your post. And the stock firmware I'd flashed with Odin previously is now booting and I'm finally back in!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!
Just need to root this bad boy and get back to a nice shiny custom ROM.
Thanks for the advice everyone!

I have another hurdle... Some built in security is stopping SuperSU from running. It's not Knox, but something like it. I get this error message:
"Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked. Tap here for more info."
How can I disable this? I've searched on Google already but so far nothing is helping and I can mostly only find info about Knox...
EDIT: It was goddamn Knox all along... And I just disabled it by means of SuperSU. Finally!

Heh, yeah, all is well in my world once again!
The Note 2 is a great device man. I am sure you'll love it. The Note 3 looks great also, but I don't like the ribbed sides (I'm fussy) and last I read there's an eFuze that goes off once rooted or something along those lines. That's sh!t.

My case is the same case of Invertedskull. I already did all steps as you instructed. I wiped data/cache/system and flash a stock room 4.4.2 of Nordic Rom on SamMobile website.
After flashed, the looping still happens. When I put the charger, the looping stops and goes to the main screen normally. Sometimes, it suddenly restarts but not frequently.
OMG! How to stop it. Pls help me.
My Note 2 is N7105 LTE - Optus (Australia)

If you have access to anything, and don't get JUST the boot loop, then you DO NOT have the same case I was in. You are probably able to recover from this. Try posting on the Tf Forums. The guys over there are "specialists" in Asus Tf tablets, and as you'll see on this thread (http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...-boot-loop-after-doing-routine-cm-update.html), they gave me a lot of help. Not that I was able to recover, but they were awesome dudes.

mroldman281, You didn't post again, so I don't know, If You found solution, but since I had same simptoms, and after four days of reinstalling different stock roms, wiping and even messing with PIT via Odin etc..I can say, that in my case the reason for boot loop was faulty battery. The phone worked when it was plugged in and restarted soon after i unplugged USB cable, and just lopped afterwards. Replacement battery put everything back in order. And I am one happy Camper!
Hope this info helps someone else with boot loop problem
same problem stuck in bootloop
hey guys i have the same problem bootloop all the time i tryied stock firmware but nothing happend avec i rooted my note 2 and intalled a costom recovery and a many roms but stuck in bootloop i didn't chage baterry , by the way i wiped cache and reset factory and clear dalvick cache but the same always bootloop
what u suggest i do
ps : i can acces to bootloader or download mode it charge normally
woow get back my note 2 lte alone
hey guys i get back my note 2 i don't know how but it was a succes :victory:
first : i tried so many afficial firmware 4.4.2 and costom roms but didn't change the problem of bootloop
then i remembred what version i was in it was 4.1.1 so i download it from sammobiles thenks to them flash it and boooom the note 2 lte start like a charm
i want to thanks everyone for their help even if they didn't help directly but this past 3 days i read almost all the threads about note 2
well i thinks one of the selutions here is to revert back the the original stock firmware like i did so maybe will fix the bootloop
Hi all, pretty much a phone noob hoping to get some help. I'm probably gonna write a book but I want to provide as much info as possible...
My D710 had been working fine running rooted GB27. I decided to flash the "Not Now" rom. Seemed simple enough and very straightforward...
After flashing I got stuck in a boot loop. Read up on how to get out of boot loop and reflashed selecting wipe and Fix Permissions.
No help, still boot loop.
Went back to recovery mode and I have stock recovery instead of AGAT. The little android dude is laying on his back with a red triangle coming out of his gut.
After ****ing around some I decided to try wipe/factory reset.
Phone booted! YAY! The Not Now rom is installed (I guess). Phone looks different but most of my apps come back and the phone works (Calls, text, apps run) It seems a little flakey though and the whole thing feels pretty sketchy given how I got here.
I decide I should really flash back to stock and then see what I want to do from there. and now the fun begins:
I can't get into Odin mode
I can't get my computer to see the phone as a storage device. The drivers load and 2 new removable drives show up but neither is accessible.
From the Shut Down menu I have an option for Boot Loader. I selected it and it looks like it's in Odin Mode but Odin doesn't see the phone.
So I have a functioning phone that seems shaky. I'd really like to load a stock ROM again and get it more stable. I'd appreciate if anyone has advice about how I can fix the USB issue (buy a new phone?)
Thanks

You need to check "USB Debugging" in the setting mode. I am not on TW so I can't tell you the exact spot. Once that is selected, It should be good to go. You need a custom recovery. I would suggest Philz recovery or AGATs. You will need to wipe data, cache, dalvik.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I did manage to restore a backup so I'm back where I started (rooted GB27) prior to screwing around with Not Now.
I'm considering trying to go to Villuminati by following these steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48979264&postcount=770
I've got AGAT recovery loaded now so I think that I can skip the first couple of steps...

I don't have the specific locations, but you could do this a simpler way. You need to have these files on SD card.
1. Flash Philz recovery for D710 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2652286
2. Wipe Cache, Dalvik
3. "install" new ROM.
4. Flash Gapps
You should keep Philz on your SD card. It is the easiest way to flash ANY 4.4 ROM. If you want to use the ART, go to developer options and scroll all the way down. Select ART, let the phone reboot. Once it reboots, turn it off for about 1 minute. Turn it back on. You can not use ART with Xposed. They do not like each other. DO NOT USE PHILZ TO MAKE A BACKUP!. Use the recovery that came with the ROM. Only use Philz to flash. Let me know what happens. Before you do anything, make a backup first.
Thanks. I may give this a try tonight.
Thanks for your help.
I've got Viluminati running! Amazing as I was pretty sure I had bricked my phone a few days ago
Hello all,
Made probably a stupid mistake after flashing several roms i flashed the last one probably a oneplus 5 rom and not a 5t.
Now i have the strange thing i go into recovery i can not choose anything cause it seems that touch screen is not working correctly anymore and can not hit the correct buttons because it seems it is not aligned anymore probably because oneplus 5 has smaller screen.
Flashed twrp already to see if that fix the issue but problem remain, also try to load the oxygen fast boot rom but i got some errors and also not working.
What would be the best to start all over again, could anyone provide me the steps to have a clean install again to start over.
Or maybe some other tricks so that i have a functional twrp recovery so that i can format storage and flash new rom again ( the correct one this time ) ?
Hoping for a solution.
Regards, ysco..
I'd say download original ROM and Recovery off the Oneplus website.
Flash the recovery from fastboot and try flashing ROM.
As long as you've got access to Fastboot chances are you can recover.
Hello Maddler,
Thanks for the reply back to me.
I'm try now fastboot recovery rom again and it is doing more as before, from the six steps it is now at step four so lets hope this will work otherwise i follow your suggestion and see how that goes
Thanks mate.
Regards, ysco..
Yeah you'll have to go back to complete stock using fastboot
