N7100 does not boot past start up screen

Hi All,
Couple days ago I tried to flash my note2 with mobile odin back to stock rom but something went wrong and since I have not been able to get past the welcome screen *Samsung Galaxy Note 2*. I can get into a recovery screen but I am unable to choose a new rom to flash with.
I ve tried to flash it with odin 3.07 and via kies but no joy.
At this stage I am quite desperate to get this resolved. Can anyone help me?

Download correct stock rom to pc. Mount SD Card in recovery. Transfer file. flash from recovery.

Unfortunately I do not have that option. I only have volume up to continue or volume down to restart. When I go volume up the phone goes into download mode.

Yeah. Then you have to flash stock firmware.

He would have lost his data then. Flashing doesn't remove data.

True but i had to use Odin and every guideline said the filed had to color yellow while for me it stayed blue but i figured heck at the moment it's just a paperweight so I don't have a lot to loose.
Now Rooting it again and placing my nandroid back up back and I am all sorted.
Thank you again!

I lost my data anyway I had backed it up with titanium but ran into problems restoring it... Lesson learned to create an image of my Android once I got it sorted again.
Thanks

I had the same problem and almost had a heart attack thinking I bricked my phone when downgrading back to 4.1.1... Needless to say I just had to do a factory reset in recovery and it worked fine

i just want to grab some files! before restore

u will need flash a custom recovery 1st then will be able to backup,
If you were on stock rom , I've noticed during Boot Loop if you flash the Stock rom will not wipe your data only Messages, contacts and Call log will be wiped.

If you follow my way you won't lose any files.
But you can backup everything via adb.

That's a kernel and not a recovery.
Download a recovery in .Tar format.
Flash it the same way you rooted.

guys i cant go i recovery in odin all fine but after reboot im going to samsung logo again
any ideas?
and also costum binary download: Yes (4 counts)
from 1 i did the process 3 times

Firstly, before anyone can truly help you you need to mention your phone setup such as the Rom you're using, rooted/not rooted, etc.
If you're rooted and have a custom recovery then just wipe your system and dalvik cache partition and flash the same Rom again. All your personal files will still be intact.

i mentioned that i am rooted i didnt say which rom because i am in custom ROM so i didnt think about it

Pull yur battery out. Put it back in and go into recovery by holding power + home button + volume up. Release power button on the first bootscreen. Maybe u pressed the volume down.

Can you wipe data in recovery at all? As long as you can get into Download mode, there's always a way to save the device by flashing back to stock and starting again, so don't lose hope.

Let me try why is the twrp recovery touch not working

Honestly, I have never, ever had any luck with TWRP, and I've tried it many times on many devices. It looks great, but it's just not as reliable as the good old CWM recovery. This isn't to start a flame war with TWRP fans. I'm just stating my observations over the last few years of trying it.

I am with you I have been flashing for years this is the first time this has happened. Now I am in the process of going back to stock with a slow ass computer. Thanks
Sent from my GT-P5210 using xda app-developers app

If you can get into download mode by pressing both volume keys while plugging in the usb cable connected to your PC, then you are not bricked, just do a factory image flash and start over, it happens even to the more experienced.
I btw use CWM but I don't flash ROM's that much.
Erik

You also posted the same issue in at least 3 different posts. Limit it to one post and you might get more response.

I had that happen with one of the TWRP files floating around here. If you wanna use TWRP, you need the hacked e986 one which works splendidly on my e980. Hardcore CWM fan, myself, but I love the ease of just using the touch screen.

If you have an SD card you can download the CWM .zip from here, put it on your card and flash that from within TWRP. Then you just have to reboot the recovery, wipe and restore. This is the CWM included in FreeGee. I personally tested this version for @Shelnutt2 a while back and have used the .zip a few times, since.

I did it and it worked thanks

Just a question..... Freegee installs 2.6.1.0 TWRP, what is the difference btw this and hacked madmack TWRP?

Gapps isn't responding when restoring image on CW recovery please need help

When I restore my image the one that I backed up on CM recovery, my Samsung s4 reboots and turn on without no problem but when I put in my pin gapps pops up saying "unfortunately gapps have stop" and I click ok but it keeps poping up.
Please I need help

Are you restoring old data from and old rom install to a new rom install?
If so, you can't do that. Use titanium backup or helium for backing up your apps and data

It happens to me as well in my note 2 with cwm. I installed twrp instead. I haven't tried the restore yet though. Titanium backup was the best option for me

No I was runing cm11 and I wanted to go back to stock android so I did a nandriod backup before I flash anything. Now running cm11 i reboot into Cwm recovery and restore my backup image on my s4 which was TouchWiz 4.4.2 and when it reboot on, I unlock the phone and the pop-up keep showing up like every 5 second. So I can't do nothing because of this pop-ups

I will try to flash newer Gapps, if doesn't work I going wipe then restore
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app

You cant restore your TouchWiz data partition to a cm rom
Sent from my Nexus 5

OK but I mean the nandriod backup is a image of my phone like how it was when I first root it, so if my phone go brick I can boot into recovery and restore my phone back to how it was before. So now I trying to restore my phone back to how it was before because I don't want to use cm11 until it is stable.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app

So let me get this straight.
You are using a device not officially supported by the Paranoid Android team, post in the Paranoid Android forum section, to get help going back to stock from cm11?
You realize that there is an entire section of the forums dedicated to your device?

You can get immediate help by going to your device forum and reading or asking there.
The PA team only officially supports Nexus and oppo devices. We can't help you with your s4

[Q] Initialize Samsung Galaxy S4 Via Kies 3

Hi Guys! I have a rooted T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 running 4.4.2. If i initialize it via kies 3, will there be no problem? Will I be able to root it again?

What do you mean initialize? Like perform a reset? Root has been achievable in every android version for this device so I think that answers your second question

Yes, I want to perform a reset. By the way, do you know how to flash back the stock recovery?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app

You can flash it back with stock firmware.. If you want to reset I suggest you use Odin instead of kies.. Download 4.4.2 firmware from fenny and flash it with Odin.. Flashing the firmware will also flash stock recovery

I'm gonna try it, but my real problem is I can't access my recovery by holding the three buttons... Whatever the recovery I install... I can access it only via a rom manager... Do you know how to fix that?
