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.

Then you have to take it to a samsung service center or the store for repair mate.

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?

Boot screen stuck
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.

[Q] My AT&T Note II cannot turn on after flash MIUI!!! Emergency Help Needed!!!

Hey Guys,
I tried to flash MIUI for my I317 but forgot to back up. It worked fine first but then showed some bugs when I tried to reboot the device. So I remove the battery and reboot manually. Then the problem happened. My phone stopped at which showed the "MI" logo and cannot turn on.
I tried to flash back to other roms (stock rom, etc), but every rom results in the same problem, showed the logo and cannot turn on. I also relaized the in the CWM mode the device and wipe cache but when I tried wipe data it reboots by itself and stayed at the logo again!
I also tried odin but still can't solve the problem.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thank you so much!!!

Getting into recovery is the key. If you can get there you should be ok. And try not to panic.
Is this a 4.2 rom?
Current Devices: At&t Samsung Galaxy Note, Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Asus Google Nexus 7 Super Tablet
Current Roms: cleanrom 4.7 (Note 2), AOKP (Galaxy Nexus), Nexus 7 Stock

What should I do if I can get into recovery?

pc mode?
Listen your phones borked so forget about getting cwm or twrp...especially since you already said you tried.
Im not sure what pc mode is but right now just try to get into download mode.
This is done by holding the the home, power, and volume down button at the same time.
Ill assume you have kies but if not download kies from samsung and the current usb mode.
Kies has a new feature "emergency firmware recovery" . Click this tab.
Get your phone into download mode and when prompted push volume down again.
Takes about 15 min.
Yes you can try this via odin by flashing stock fw but I personally prefer this method. If ypu can get into dl mode it should work and theres no need to worry about the right fw, just choose the right model when asked. Att is sgh-1713 or something, just confirm.
After this you should be back to stock so just reroot and reflash cwm or twrp.
And...back your shizzle up!

Stuck on Samsung Logo

Hello. I was trying to get Kitkat into my phone but my Rom Manager didn´t want to work. So i thought lets try to reset to factory setting. And ya. Then i got stuck on Samsung Logo. I can get into Download menu by pressing Vol Down-Home and power button. but i cant seem to get anything to work. The phone is rooted using Odin.
My phone is Samsung Galazy Note 2 GT-N7105
Anything that can work to get my phone atleast to work again is appreciated.
Regards, torkkel

If you can't get recovery then flash phils recovery tar version through odin and then flash what you want or restore a backup. If that doesn't work flash stock with odin and start again. Last resort try mskip toolkit from skipsoft.net

1)Was the firmware specific for your device?
2)pull the battery and put it back again do you see the phone booting up without pressing the power button?

If you can't get into recovery mode (power, home and vol up) then I'd try to re-flash the stock rom through kies- not sure what other options you have. Then you can re-root it.

[Q] About Downgrade from 4.4 (CM11) to 4.1.2

If I wanna downgrade to 4.1.2, must I need some particular version of CWM before flash it by odin?
I mean, I saw some post where users have troubles with turning on the phone after flashing it.
Hope you can help me, ty.
I'm on CM11.

Hello,
You can use any recovery as it will be overwritten by odin once you try to flash firmware.
But in my case i was unable to revert back to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2. After flashing 4.1.2 all i can see is "Samsung Galaxy Grand i9082" thats all.
Have to reboot by holding down Volume up + Home + Power button.
I can reboot into recovery (Stock recovery) in this case because Philz recovery was overwritten. but from there all i see is dead droid with "!" mark and nothing can be done from there.
So for now it is not possible to revert back to 4.1.2. If you managed to do so please help me also. 4.2.2 is terrible
Thanks!

I had reverted back to 4.1.2 successfully even after the latest update..
Try a couple of times flashing the 4.1.2. Since the recovery got overwritten flashing is going on.. But might be incomplete. Try again..

Thank you for your reply.
I have had tried it for 3 or 4 times now. 3 times i ended up in the boot loop and for 1 time i was stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Grand i9082".

EDIT: It worked. Again i was in bootloop but this time I went back to stock recovery and "wipe/factory rest" then "wiped cache" and yeeeey it worked. Thanks made for the motivation

[Q] Stuck at boot

Please advise what should I do now,
My N5100 stuck at boot, the part where is shows "Samsung GALAXY Note 8.0 GT-N5100", it just stuck there and not boot.
I tried boot into recovery and reset still no use.
I can boot into Download mode as well as PhilZ Touch Recovery though.
What should I flash using Odin to make my Note 8 back to normal again?
Really thanks alot for the guide.

I have been able to get passed the lockup by holding the up volume button after powering on.
keep it held until you get to the lock screen. About a 2 minute wait.

I have had similar. For me it just reboots into the custom recovery all the time.

One way would be to flash a new ROM using Android Toolkit

Hi, this happened to me once and what I did is quite drastic, but I flashed a new ROM, as other methods for me simply didn't work ... the time it took to redownload my apps and set up the note 8.0 was minimal compared to the frustration I was having with note 8.0.
I put a rom (omni rom in my case, or you could use whatever you want such as a backup of your old rom) on my sdcard and just flashed it using my recovery (which is twrp, and which I could boot into). Since you can boot into PhilZ recovery, this method might work if you want to do it.
One last thing, the title of my reply mentions the android toolkit (which is now the skipsoft unified android toolkit). I did not have a rom on my device, so I used the toolkit to put a zip file of a rom on my device.
Hope this helps,

Download Odin, get the stock rom from http://www.sammobile.com
Boot into download mode, power button, volume down and the home button
Click continue, start Odin, now is the time to connect the tablet to your pc
Uncheck reboot on the left side
Click on pda, the file you downloaded from sam mobile is a zip file, open it to reveal the md5 file, place the md5 file on the desktop so it's easy to find
It should recognize the file in Odin and once it's done it should say succeeded 1
Then unplug the cord and reboot your tablet if it already hasn't done so. Holding down the power button until it turns off should do the trick. Any questions feel free to post here
