Help! Phone keeps bootlooping!

So I just got my note 2 for christmas and my dad wanted me to unroot my S3 so he could sell it. I downloaded the stock ics firmware without root from Doc's thread but when I flashed it in Odin it got stuck in a boot loop. I've tried a couple more FW's but every time it get's stuck in a boot loop when it finishes. I can still get into download mode but like I said no matter what I try it doesn't get past the boot screen, can anyone help me please?

try reflashing fresh stock firmware again
if it boot loops then remove ur cell phne battery and keep idle for 10-15 mins
and reboot

I got the same thing when I flashed stock in odin... go into recovery and wipe all data and cache. Worked for me a couple times.

You will need to factory wipe. Odin doesn't wipe out those partitions.

[Q] HELP with Flashing ROM

i just bought a note2 LTE version, N7105 that is
i rooted it and flashed CWM via the following method
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/s...-rom-flashing-tutorial-r-d-stage-3942841.html
It was rooted and i got CWM recovery , i later on flashed Touch CWM recovery as well
Now the problem,,
i want to flash a DEODEX version of the stock 4.1.2 ROM . i downloaded it from here ( matching the the phones firmware ofc )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042413
did all the right procedures, wipe system, wipe cached, factory data reset and flashed the ROM from sdcard
the ROM is flashed and the phone restarts
however, it is still stuck in the ' samsung note II ' screen for more than 10 minutes
luckily, i can go back into recovery via the vol + . home and power combination,,,,
i have tried to flash another 4.2.2 ROM but the same results , stuck in opening screen !
can anyone tell me what went wrong ? and how i can go back to stock ?

Now the first thing you should of done is make a nandroid backup.
Although, I do believe there is a stock file you can flash via odin and should take you back to stock. Just do a google search (should of done this before me telling you).

Flash a backup if you made one? Flash a stock through Odin but if that don't work just home volume up and factory reset. I had a different story to you but mine got stuck on the Samsung logo and it took a flash through Odin and a factory reset

Sounds like incorrect version for your phone. Note 2 has quite a few versions.
As others have said use the backup to restore back to original OS and then start again.
I had to do this and it worked fine for me.

screen glitches after 4.3 update

Hi all I'm am new to this but i need much help here. After updating my Note 2 t889 to new firmware 4.3 OTA, my screen starts up and i can see the Galaxy Not 2 logo but then it glitches and goes to black. I can no longer see anything after but can still hear my phone boot up, light up eveything else. I have downloaded the official 4.3 from samobile and use odin to reinstall, everything went fine but still the screen does the samething. The only screen that im able to see fine is the download screen, recovery screen is black. Please Help!

i dont know if this information matter but i did replace the digitizer with a N7100. The screen worked for 2 months with 4.1.2 until this update. Is it possible that the update made the N7100 digitizer not compatible any more? any help would be really appreciatied.

My Note 2 t889 flickers when I attempt to update android as well. Its rooted and I think it has something to do with the cwm recovery used to root. But not 100%.
I have tried to update it numerous times, to no avail.
I think I need to un root, and start from scratch, then root again when updated to get rid of the flicker.
It flickers and rolls when trying to reboot after updating.
Have to enter recovery, wipe cache abd restart to get it to just boot.
Any ideas?
Be well.

Are either you using a non stock kernel?
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

well i might've screwed up now, try downgrading from 4.3 to 4.1.2 using this method i found;
So I did this a couple times now first by accident, then on purpose. If you want to go back to 4.1.2 from 4.3 all you have to do is use Odin. Flash stock 4.1.2 onto 4.3 you get an error "unsupported firmware" then put your phone back into download mode (volume down+home button+power) next flash CF-auto root. After that you can boot into recovery (volume up+home+power) in recovery format everything factory reset, format cache. Last reboot your phone it should reboot into 4.1.2 I think that is how I did it if I remember all the steps right. Feel free to ask questions I don't always explain myself very well.
i was thinking that this might work because my phone was fine on 4.1.2 so why not try. now on the download screen it says void:1, to make matters worst, it still doing the same thing. bad motherboard?

Hi, I got the same problem. My screen flickers at the galaxy note 2 logo after I flash the cf-autoroot after waiting the phone reboot itself and its okay, no flickering. So I tried to reflash the stock rom to see if it's fix, but it's not, I just wait again to boot my phone. Any idea how to fix it?

[Q] Flashing Problem?

I looked around but could not find my problem - I sincerely apologize if it has been asked elsewhere.
Yesterday I attempted to install the newest root66 (4.3) on my telus GS3 using odin. Everything seemed to go ok, but the phone was sitting at the samsung logo for a long while (and vibrating every 5 or 10 seconds as well). The phone went through the normal boot process after the flash, including updating the apps, but then rebooted and just sat there. Thinking something was wrong I attempted to flash the root again and had the same problem. After that I used odin to flash the stock image and waited all night and day for it and it was still on the samsung logo. Tonight I went into the stock recovery and cleared the cache and attempted to flash the root66 again. The phone seemed to go through the normal upgrade boot again (after odin said pass) with the android upgrade spinning chest thing and all that.
I can still access download mode and the stock recovery, so I don't think I am in too bad of shape - part of me thinks it is just a matter of patience, which is fine if it is, but if not, I'd like to keep working on it. Any ideas?
In summery - in case that was confusing
1) flashed root66 4.3, odin indicated success, boot after upgrade was similar to what I have seen before
2) Waited for a couple hours
3) tried root66 again, and waited
4) flashed stock, odin indicated success and waited many hours
5) cleared cache, flashed root66, currently waiting again
6) maintain access to stock recovery and download mode
I'd like to not lose everything on the phone if possible, but if I have to so be it.
Any thoughts?

odin to stock 4.3 then root your phone using CF Autoroot by Chainfire... check always the model of ur phone and the file you are downloading if it is for your phone..

Flashing stock with odin just leaves me stuck at the same Samsung screen. Pulsing Samsung and whatnot

[Q] Did I brick my SGH T889?

I am flashing this for my cousin. She woke me up out my sleep because she wanted her phone upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.3 or kitkat. I downloaded a 4.3 ROM and didnt flash it correctly because Wifi nor data was working. It could be because I didnt flash the OTA first and/or didnt install the devil kernel.
Anyways I was walking her through how to restore the backup I made but she went into Download mode and here is when the problems started. i told her to battery pull and to go into recovery. There was already a backup ROM on her SD card, she flashed and it failed. Had her wipe twice and it failed again. Had her wipe again and restore and it failed. After 10 minutes of it failing I had her send me the phone.
I was unable to flash any ROM so i factory reset through recovery and still nothing. I then started flashing through ODIN the latest stock, deoxed stock, the MD4, I even flashed LJ1. Some of the ROMs will fail to flash and if a ROM does flash successfully I get no further than the Galaxy Note 2 screen.
So is this an indication that the phone is bricked or am I missing a step or two to finally get this phone to finally boot all the way up?

Bump

Most likely the phone is on 4.3 bootloader which is why flashing 4.1.2 ROM via pc odin does not work.
You can either flash 4.1.x stock ROM via mobile odin pro or flash 4.3 stock ROM via pc odin.

Unable to flash stock ROM via PC odin
Hello
I am in almost the same situation as mo2002. I had original ROM that came with my note2 running android 4.3 then decided to try jedi master x2 also 4.3. After trying it out for a while I noticed poor battery performance and when phone was locked I had to press the menu button several times to see the screen. That was getting on my nerves. Yesterday my phone was booting up by itself. It did a couple times then got stuck with the samsung logo. Reboot again and again and the same stuff happened that's when I decided to flash stock rom from samsung.updates/device site using odin3 v3.09 however, I have not been successful. After it checks the md5 OK, it fails on the NAND write. Is it the case that the NAND memory is not unlocked? I am still able to boot into recovery though.
Thanks

Mines corrected itself so I can't give the exact instructions but I just kept flashing stock ROMS via odin but I used 3.07 I believe. Idk if that makes a difference but after X amount of attempts I power cycled (after it being stuck at the same galaxy note 3 screen) it booted successfully
