[N7100] Phone Boot Loop. Please help. - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an International Note 2 (N7100) . I was on stock rooted till December 13. After that I flashed Dr.ketans V6 ROM and since then evything was working fine.
For the past few weeks my phone often restarted and one fine day it automatically went into boot loop. So I backed up my data and factory reset it. But every next day it goes back to bootloop. So I changed ROMS. I have tried 2-3 ROMs since then but eventually this problem always comes back. My phone always bootloops and I have to reset it just to switch it on.
Currently I am on Philz recovery and Phoenix ROM (MD5 bootloader). Please help or suggest.

Just flash stock ROM through ODIN.
Smack that Thanks button if I helped!
KitKat came in on my OmniROM, running on my Note 2.

Thanks for the reply. But I want to use a Custom Rom. So you mean I should flash a stock ROM and then Custom ROM or just stick to stock.?
Please clarify.
Edit - Another question. Can flash 4.1 ROM directly or a 4.3 ROM only. I am on Phoenix ROM(MJ5) Philz Recovery

Thanks for the reply. I can go into recovery and then factory reset it. My issue is i get these bootloops very frequently.
For a few days my phone works normally and then it occurs. I have to then reset and then start again. I am actually troubled by this. So I need guidance and help in this matter. Just getting to know if it is a ROM/bootloader/recovery issue or a hardware issue.

Most probably ROM issue. Switch ROM or (recommended) flash a stock ROM, use it for a few days, and (if there's no issues), switch to whatever u want to use.

Ok. Thanks for the help. Ill look into it.:good:

Dr. Ketan Custom ROM v6 is based on Android 4.3 firmware. If you didn't follow his guidelines properly then you're expected to have:
Boot loop
Wifi problem
There are two methods available, wifi patch & upgrade to MJ5 bootloader. Search this forum to find his guidelines. This should solve your problem.

[Q] i8160 - stuck @ boot - no recovery possible

Hello guys!
I have an Ace2 (which was on Android 2.3.6) and tried to install CM11. At first it didn't work, because I had no CWM. So I flashed a Kernel with CWM and installed the CM11-ROM via CWM. That was no problem. But when I was setting up the ROM, I realised that I had no mobile/phone connection at all.
So I tried to install a few stock firmwares via Odin. The installation always finishes with no errors. But when I boot the phone it does not get any further than to the Samsung-startscreen.
And I can't access the recovery mode anymore! Only Odin-Mode is still possible.
Is there an option to get my phone back to some kind of stock state.
Please help me out!

Try to re-flash into stock rom, the jellybean version. If you had a problem with the network maybe there's something wrong with the csc file

That's what I'm trying now. I thought I already tried to downgrade to GB but after looking on the filenames of the different firmwares I tried, I noticed that they are all JB's.
Thank you for the replys. Currently I'm waiting for my GB-firmware to download...
You havr to use the 3 part firmware to downgrade.

Where do I get that firmware from?!
Link is somewhere in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141930
if u will get bootloop after installing GB, go into recovery (if u will get that possibility) and wipe it, btw, did i understood well? U flashed CM11 when u have been on GB?
---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------
U can also try to flash stock GB/JB (depends on which firmware u have now) kernel separatly. Ramdisk (u have recovery in it) is flashed with kernel so it can help

NOW I KNOW TOO! :silly:
I have to stock upgrade to JB first, BEFORE I flash custom JB ROMs.
I'm already loading a 3-part firmware, from that thread you gave me. Although the first link did not work, I hope there is the same (3-part) firmware in the second link.
U mean u are downloading from this link http://d-h.st/AZN ? (I8160XXLK6.zip)
Yes, its definetly GB stock rom, i was forced to use I8160XXLK6 (not from this link, but still) when i messed up my phone few weeks ago (same problem i could enter only odin-mode)

Yep, that's exactly what I'm downloading @ the moment.
And those are the 3 parts for Odin which should bring the phone back to GB-stock?
PDA: CODE_GT-I8160_I8160XXLK6_CL1211243_REV00_user_SEC_KEY_LK6_4G.tar
CSC: CSC_GT-I8160-MULTI-CSC-OXELF1_SEC_KEY_4G.tar
PIT: GT-I8160_EUR_XX_4G
Did I get that right?
I just don't want to mess it up again...
And btw:
I already tried a I8160XXLK6 but it was a single-file firmware and had no effect on my problem.
I need the 3-parts including CSC and PIT, right?
It doesnt work? Huh dunno why.
Lets trust @teddysten and upgrade to JB, it might work
If it wont u will have to do some research and find 3-part GB rom
The single-file firmware did not work for me!
I haven't tried the 3-part firmware yet, from the link that you gave me. In about 10 minutes the download will be finished and I'm going to try it immediately!
Well. Remember that after flashing first booting (samsung logo ANIMATION) takes a while.
if u will still have this issue after downgrading to GB then upgrade it from this to JB anyway because it might work (dont ask me how, i dont know how so i wont explain). For now im out and ill visit XDA tommorow (earliest).
soo Good Luck and i hope that others will help u too if u will get some problems.
I am here if you need help
What version of you Odin do you have ?
Ok...
I downloaded the 3-part firmware to get back to GB stock.
That worked.
Then I installed the original JB-firmware from my provider.
That worked too.
So I'm happy again and everything is working!
Thanx a lot guys!!!!! :highfive:

Well you've learnt your lesson. Never try to flash from GB to KK

Thank you so much. I was in this EXACT situation (GB to KK) and tried everything; pretty much every GB single-file ROM I could file. The 3-part ROM did the trick though!

[Q] Flashed Bootloader, Now Phone Is Stuck on Bootlogo

Hey guys!
So, I installed Dr. Ketan's Custom ROM V8 on my brother's Note II (N7100) sometime back. It was earlier on roooted stock 4.1.2, so naturally, it had no WiFi on V8. Since it wasn't required at that point, I did not care about fixing it, but now WiFi as well as Hotspot were needed. So I flashed the KitKat Bootloader using Odin as per the instructions on the ROM thread, and it rebooted and was stuck on the Samsung bootlogo. It went into download mode but no recovery was there. I tried flashing stock recovery as per the instructions on the thread but it was persistently stuck on the bootlogo. I've also tried flashing the MJ5 Bootloader and WiFi fix from here, but it failed on Odin. Then I flashed TWRP, and CWM too but all in vain So, basically it is bricked(?)
I do not have recovery access to reflash the ROM. It was working perfectly before that (sans the WiFi) but I don't know what went wrong. How do you guys think can I get it back to working normally?
I know this type of questions have already been asked on this forum and I have read all those threads. But no method seems to work.
So I'd request for your help. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
Bump!
Guys, I need a solution quickly because there is no alternate phone for him to use. Please help me out here.
Maybe nobody is replying because we're out of ideas. Did you tried to restore firmware with KIES. There was an option there if I recall correctly.

Your best bet is flashing official stock ROM 4.4.2 ( I think FNE1 ) is latest for India via Odin and hopefully it resolves the issue

Update Stoped On Galaxy Note II Screen

Hello, I used to be rooted with custom ROMs ect but went back to stock I317ATTALJ2 so I can give the phone to my daughter. Well everything went smooth until an update from AT&T came through and she ran it when the battery was at 21% but I'm not sure it that matter but didn't help in matters... Anyhow it ran the upgrade and on reboot it stayed on the Galaxy Note II screen and wont do anything but sit there. I let it sit for a long time before pulling the battery and booting but it goes to same screen and same thing. I can not get into recovery (Volume Up, Home, Pwr) but I can go into download mode. With the battery being so low I read that it charges while in download mode so for the remainder of the day I put the phone in download mode and plugged into charger.
Suggestions?
After you get it charged up some and you're in download mode. Just Odin back to stock Att firmware should fix the problem hopefully...
You can find the stock firmware here>> http://bit.ly/1HNVFVJ
Guess the phone didn't like that update ?.

Ok.
Hopefully everything works out next time around.
Another thing you could try is flashing which ever recovery you previously had installed. Last time I was having issues with something similar, after re flashing my recovery everything started working again. Just just a thought that might work.
I'm monitoring this thread too see what happens ok.

Yes you can flash a custom recovery from Odin. You just have to use the (Twrp) tar file found here>>>
http://bit.ly/1y0Tyg7
Find your device model and download the tar. And make sure you're downloading the correct file for your device ok!
I to use Twrp and luv it.?
OK, well its not looking good....
1) Flashed the stock firmware suggested...... Still get same results!
2) Flashed TWRP through ODIN and it made it to the same screen and froze. Did a battery pull and button combo and it wont go into recovery.
Is there a application that will force your phone into recovery and download modes? I remember back when I messed with the captivate there was a application someone built that did such a thing.
Any suggestions?

[HELP] Need help is flashing my Phone - Note II

Hello all,
I tried to flash CM 11 nightly version on my Galaxy Note 2 but is unable to do so.
When I try to flash, I get an error message that "This package is for device: t03g, n7100, GT-N7100; this device is t03gub"
I am sure that I have downloaded the correct version but from the above message it seems that I am trying to flash different version.
Please help!!! As I have cleared all the cache and memory, I even cannot boot into system. Cleared all the data for flashing the new CM11 but as I cannot flash now, I am stuck with a dead phone which I cannot use.
Please Help!!!!!!!
Flash Stock
Kindly go to www.sammobile.com and download the correct stock firmware for your phone.
Follow the instructions over there on how to flash. Or Google how to flash with Odin.
Once you get your phone live with stock OS you can go for Custom Rom.
As per my opinion DN4 by Electron Team is the best custom ROM.
Thanks for the help...... I did figure it out.... I had the flashed the wrong TWRP file initially and now rectified it.
Was able to install the CM on my phone.
Have a another problem though..... Phone network is not recognized. I mean by default, the mobile network is turned off and when I turn it on manually, it turns off the mobile network automatically.
Not sure how to rectify it..... everything else seem to be working fine.
Please help!!!
Anyone Help please....
The EFS partition is the culprit. I do not get ant IMEI no. on the phone.
Worst part is that I dont have the back-up too....
Any way by which I can bring back the phone to life?
Please help!!!!

Since you Install a stock rom form sams I assue its not Rooted or deodexed coz its stock rom ofcource..
Unless u are rooted you cannot install a good custom rom
Do a CF auto rooting using Odin
Reflash TWRP
Then Enjoy a new Custom rom
Go for DN 4 2.1 with mod v11 :good::good:

Upgrade firmware only to cof8?

Hello all,
I was wondering if I can upgrade the radio and bootloader to COF8 without running a 5.1.1 ROM. I am rooted with Ktoonz kernel with firmware AOC9 with 5.0.2 stock ROM.
TIA.
Bob
Once you upgrade bootloader , you can only run 5.1.1. Not sure about ONLY upgrading radio.
Thank You for the reply..
So once I ODIN the new firmware, I need to load a 5.1.1 rom before letting the phone boot up to the 5.0.2 rom?

You cannot boot a 5.0.2 ROM once you are on 5.1.1 firmware. That's the way it is as far as I know. There is no downgrade possible once you are on 5.1.1
Personally, I have no issues with 5.1.1. Great ROMs now. Great battery life. I personally do NOT care about Knox or the ability to run Samsung Pay. Just my 2c.
Thank You.
SO.. Once I start the firmware upgrade.. I must immediately load a 5.1.1 rom.
1. Upgrade the baseband... dont re-boot.
2. Upgrade the Bootloader... dont re-boot.
3. Install a 5.1.1 rom... reboot. Thinking of the ROM below.

I won't tell you what ROM to choose. Yes, coincidentally I am using the Xtrestolite rom with the alliance frameworks, but I have a lot of other favorites both on TMobile as well as the International galaxy S6 or S6 Edge roms. The key is the kernel which gives you root. The International ROMs as well as the Tmobile ROMs all work with the latest Unikernel version 6. Once in a while if you run into the no call audio issues, simply flash the latest no call audio fixes. I don't have links right now but most of the OPs on these ROMs will list the no call audio patch files basically to have Tmobile as well as Canadian variants work universally. So yes, simply use Odin to install the latest OF8 bootloader and modem, which I am on. Then flash any 5.1.1 ROM of choice followed by the version 6 Unikernel and boot up. Boots can take up to 10 minutes so do't be concerned you may be bootlooping.

Odin should say pass if a successful flash. Plus use the three button method....Power, home, volume up to boot to recovery and see TWRP. Best way to do the TWRP verification is to use three button, Pwr, home, volume down and hold to get to the first bootloader screen, then when you cancel out using volume down immediately hold the powr, home, volume up to get to the twrp screen. Make sure you have a 5.1.1 ROM of choice on your Phone along with the unikernal and before you upgrade, so that you have something to flash
If you are unsure about any of this, there are a slew of FAQ's on this stuff. So make sure you fully understand what you are doing and having the files in place PRIOR to doing anything. Like all the OPs state here, I'm not responsible for anyone bricking their phone or doing anything that makes their situation a now aht do I do to fix xyz issues. As long as you have the latest Odin mentioned in various OPs here, are comfortable with the process of using ODIN, testing their setup to make sure that your phone and cable and opertaing system have proper drivers to see your phone when in download mode etc, this should not be a big deal. That said, I don't know the level of your expertise in doing this so all I can do is warn you to check and double check you have everything in place before proceeding.

Post #8 details install guide for Tmobile users. This whole thread is a great guide for installing firmware and a 5.1.1 ROM. I'm not making a ROM recommendation since that's a personal issue, but this is a good starting choice so you should look at this thread and possible use this as a good guide for how to do stuff, including having this ROM on board you phone as a starting point. Just offering you everything I can think of before you jump in.
Thank You So much. Im gunna go for it.
