[Q] Flashed Kernel phone wont turn on. - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a GT-N7105 (Australian Version) and tonight i flashed this kernel (N7105 MK5 kernel) the phone worked fine for a little while and then turned off and now wont go past the boot screen.
My phone was running 4.1.2 i think maybe the kernel wasnt compatible (stupid thing to do i know)
Can anyone help me to get the phone working again if it is at all possible, im currently dling the stock rom from samsung and will try to flash with ODIN.
But im not sure what to do i dont even know where to find the original kernel for my phone.
Thanks

I've never heard of a wrong kernel booting fine, then gradually stop working...
Stock rom through odin (factory reset in recovery first) will fix most issues, in particular it will replace rom and kernel.

factory reset first, then in samfirmware find your model and install it by odin and fix all

This...
It's very rare that a rooted, ROM'd and kernel'd phone will gradually stop working because of that customization.
I've long remembered one post somewhere here that as long as the phone switches on and powers up (regardless of boot loops, black screens or otherwise) As long as you can get to Download mode, you'll find a way to get through.
As everyone else said, flash the stock ROM (making sure you got the right one for your country or the modem might be rendered useless) and fingers crossed you'll be on the pathway to stability. Good luck!

[Q] My phone won't boot all the way...

So, at the risk of posting too much info (instead of not enough) I'm going to start at the beginning:
I rooted my wife's S3 and loaded TWRP and Paranoid Android. It ran fine, but there was a camera issue, so she wanted me to restore it to the stock ROM. I did this (to 4.1, I believe, whatever was out in August). Again, it ran fine and I was planning to restore the root access, but did not.
Later, it was dropped in Hibachi sauce (not sure this is relevant, but in case) and we put it immediately in rice. It worked fine, other than the touch screen intermittently ceasing to receive touch commands.
When the updated ROM came from Samsung, my wife installed the update and the phone continued to work fine, other than the screen issue.
She was tired of the issue and decided to sell it to buy an iPhone (shudder) so she did a factory reset. This is where the issues began (I included the previous steps as I'm not sure which may have caused the current issue).
Upon the factory reset, the phone would only boot to the beginning of the AT&T logo loading. I thought it may be something she could fix through Kies and suggested she try that, so she did. The phone would then boot to a screen in Odin mode that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." We did this and there was no help.
I can get it to boot into recovery (the default one now) and have tried to reflash that and the stock ROM that I did previously and only can get two actions: either the freeze at the AT&T logo (if I use Odin to flash the ROM) or the above message in Odin mode (after trying to fix from Kies).
I'm not sure what to do at this point and would appreciate any and all help you guys can provide. I've lurked around and learned quite a bit to flash my ROM and my wife's from you guys, so I'm really hoping I can learn more from this.
Thanks in advance!

So is it stuck on the AT&T Logo? Or Samsung Logo?

It was the AT&T logo, it's currently the Odin. If I flash it again with the stock ROM, it'll be the AT&T logo again, but it doesn't completely load the AT&T logo. The Samsung one loads and then the AT&T starts to load, but doesn't finish playing.
Anyone?
Yes, Odin to stock unrooted, then go ahead and factory reset by holding volume up + home button on first boot. Done.

If this works (I'll try it when I get home) I will be so grateful! BTW, do you happen to have a decent link to a stock ROM? If not, I'll Google it tonight.

[Q] Stuck in boot loop, trying to return to stock, I think I need to use PIT file

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.

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

problems installing roms - no carrier

So I've had this problem, and I fought with it for one night until I got it working. I'm sharing my experience here in case others have this issue, and I invite people that have encountered this issue to criticize the way I fixed my problems so that we can get the minimum bricked to working procedure and identify issues in loading custom roms.
The problem is that the phone after flashing a custom rom will work, but you get 'no carrier' meaning that the radio on the device isn't connecting to your carrier. In my case, 'Sprint'. I don't know why this happens, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get it to connect.
What I had to do was go back to stock. The MD4 stock didn't work for me, it would display the samsung note 2 branding screen, then the screen would fuzz out like an old tv that lost the vsync signal, and then the red light would blink blink blink. I bricked my pho.ne
The good news is, I didn't completely brick it. What you have to do is ODIN the phone. The problem was, it would never go into odin mode, it would always crash before it got there. What I had to do was take the battery out and power it ONLY via USB. Then it would go into odin, and I was able to flash the LJC firmware. It seems that if you want to replace the radio, you have to flash an entire rom to do it. Those downloads are a gig!
So even after doing this, it wouldn't quite work right. If you still have issues, you may have to ODIN a new BOOT image. Once you do that, then when it boots you'll get the standard sprint logo and animation / sound, but it will still hang. What you have to do then is load a custom recovery (odin), boot into that recovery, and format system twice then cache twice. The recovery that worked best for me was ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.3.
That seemed to reset the radio/carrier and then I could load the original LJC rom & radio. I verified that I could access everything. Then, I did CF Auto-Root, and loaded a new custom rom. All was working afer that!

[Q] Finally Asking For Help. Can not recover from Boot loop UPDATE: LOGCATS ADDED

Okay so heres the dealio. I am not a noob been rooting, flashing etc. since Cyanogen was actually Cyanogen back in the G1 and Mytouch days. I have read every tutorial available. I have tried Kies, Odin, different USB cords, various drivers, nandroid backups etc. I was on the 5.0 unoffical cyanogen rom I think it was 12-08 or 06. NB4 "MODEM" had the coveted MDL Baseband. I was running CWM recovery. was setting alarms whole screen turned bright pink and froze so I pulled battery waited several minutes, rebooted and it would make it to cm splash screen then go pink and reboot.
First thing I did was try all of my nandroid backups none did any good. Of course I wiped everything before restoring
Second tried several Roms I know worked I always keep a couple on SD just in case ones I have tested and are working
Third I tried to Odin to MDL passed boot loop did this several times with sd and without I even uninstalled kies to make sure no interference
After that I just started climbing firmware mk2, NB4, NH7 all same results. I did each one multiple times evry which way you can imagine
I tried multiple Roms 4.4.2 4.4.4 etc to no avail
Finally I tried Kies. Kies Upgraded me to NK2 still boot loop. Odin NK2 still boot loop.
I have tried super wiping then installing boot loop
I can get into DOWNLOAD MODE AND RECOVERY MODE NO PROBLEM. I can flash custom recovery through odin no problem I have tried Cwm I have tried Twrp. Twrp gives me more options.
Now I have had some success.... If I do it perfectly I usually have to format everything with aromas mega wipe takes a few attempts I can get Danvdh GE 4.4.4 Rom to boot but it constantly vibrates if i do anything like reboot it or anything back to boot loop.
I have checked my pit file and compared to a stock pit everything matches perfectly so I dont think any partitions are screwed..
Knox is tripped who cares its past warranty I am on NK2 firmware. I dont care if I am stuck on stock or some custom rom. I need my phone to work just dont have money to buy a new one.
Please help me. I am not a noob if I have to rebuild the whole system using ADB I will just need some guidance.
****UPDATE***** Currently Have SOPK 4.4.4 from Unified Dev up and running.... No audio at all, much more stability, occasionally freezes will bootloop unless plugged into usb on computer.

Try this. Flash MDL baseband, flash NK2 with Odin, reboot to recovery and factory reset. After that perform a reboot and see if it works. This has seemed to work for a few people that had updated just the baseband and then later tried to flash full firmware and got stuck in bootloops
do you happen to have link to MDL baseband I have the NK2 firmware
I did find this I want to make sure I have the right one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282342
Also am I flashing these back to back then reboot or flash MDL reboot to download then flash NK2? Just dont want to screw myself any further. Thank you very much for your help Thanks button hit 100x
Yeah that's the one, and just flash the modem, once it's done, do a battery pull, boot straight back into download mode and flash it again. After that, flash full NK2 firmware
Tried it twice with Odin 3.07 and 3.09 still looping.
I do remember having to push the NB4 Modem with ADB while maintaining the MDL baseband if that has anything to do with it.
I saw a pink screen scenario once after water damage on my nephews s4 (not saying you have water damage ) but phone never recovered, not even after disassembly and clean, had limited function, had to be replaced.
Pp
There was never water damage. Its hard to believe that its hardware since I can get dl mode and recovery no problem. But anything is possible. I only get the pink screen now when I try to reflash the 5.0 Cyanogen
ok right now ive got Danvidh GE 4.4.4 pure nexus up and running. its doing a little vibration loop every 30-60 seconds. i have a bug report for whoever wants it. i also have a recovery log from twrp. i'll leave it up and running until i get some advice. i do know if i reboot itll kick into boot loop.......
Update: Ive got about 15 minutes of logcat. and it did reboot on its on back into rom still doing the vibration loop. it freezes randomly no audio. Ill keep running logcat and keep this puppy up till I hear from someone.....
Ok so I'm posting from my SGH-M919. The one with problems. Here's what I think happened, I think while on The 5.0 CM ROM I received the lollipop OTA. This is just a guess as I'm seeing people have been getting OTA notifications for this Device. I'm not sure what I should do. I've done extensive debugging. All hardware looks good from what I can tell. I have tons of logcats and debug files for anyone willing to help. As of now still running DanvidH. 4.4.4 GPE pure nexus version baseband NK2. The vibrations continue. Apparently its due to Google play service update in the last 24 hours and this ROM. Since its literally the only thing that will run on here I'll keep it for now. It freezes constantly, cannot use it as a phone either as it just freezes on the way to dialer. Anyway hopefully someone can help...... Thanks

OK so I am able to run the 5.0 much more stable. Dialer crashes no audio at all system or other wise. It froze then rebooted and back to bootloop which logcats do you want i couldnt get catlog to run on 5.0 but I have about 3 hours worth of logcats from the 4.4.4 pure nexus. what logcats would you like. I also have adb setup and http://www.xda-developers.com/android/advanced-logcat-published-as-a-standalone-tool/ it was running great on 4.4.4 but couldnt get it to retrieve on 5.0
I did get about 2 hours of smoothness from 5.0 just no sound and dialer crashes no one else reporting issue. Texts work fine
NK2 boot loader with Twrp recovery
whats really really weird is I have to connect the phone to computer after flashing to get it to actual start the rom

Soft brick that wont go away - stock firmware uneffective

So my issue is pretty similar, see what you guys think. i been trying everything i can think of.
i updated from xtrestolite 2.1 to 2.2 with out wiping. everything worked fine except when i would make calls, the other people could not hear me. so i updated the bootloader and modem again (i had done it before) and the problem persisted. i flashed back to stock and was getting stuck at the s6 edge screen. the only way to get around this was and get my phone to boot was to flash aou kernel. i was still having a similar issue with calling so I download a modem from a diffrent server and all of a sudden, it was working again on stock firmware... AWESOME!
now that i had all that done and my phone working as it should, i reset my phone for the first time and i got the FRP lock, wont boot phone because custom kernel. GREAT
I then flashed stock of6 again, the tar ball, and the 4 piece version. no dice
i then found of8, tried to flash that still no dice.
id love to flash twrp and load a rom on, but FRP is a alsjdflajs.
the phone will flash successfully, but upon reboot, it will go into recovery, run its course, reboot, and get stuck that the galaxy s6 edge screen.
i use the vol and power click during recovery to see what its doing and everything seems to go fine. it will then say failed to mount /data. im hoping flashing this with the pit file will work, but i cannot download the pit file from my work computer (hahah its blocks on 4shard and mega).
anyone have any other advice? i will update if i figure it out.
Regards team,

p.s. none of this is xtrestolite's fault, that rom has been nothing but good to me.. my phone has been picky though. after 5.1.1 i had to flash a custom kernel in order for the digitizer to function properly.... any help is appriciated guys.
SO UPDATE!
nothing good, i tried the pit with of6 and of8, no dice. still stuck.
anyone got a s6 edge w a broken screen? you can claim it lost for all i care.
no one?
i guess if anything past flash stock firmware people dont know? was hoping for alittle more insight.
im sure if i could flash a kernel i could get it to turn on, but FRP has be at bay...
no help for you bro...Samsung just needs to release there software fixing for this comunity...I'm looking a for a dev to answer my question in this section about just flashing zip files in twrp instead of using odin or whatever other methods that can avoid all these problems that are all similar...hopefully in next few months it will be addressed
Hey mate, try this...

holy... fu34%# /S45it.... IT BOOT?!
after flashing every firmware 100000 times...
THANK YOU!
I initially used odin to flash OI1 update, after a rom I was using caused problems and I got bootloop. It changed bootloader value to b:3 and I'm unable to downgrade now so I used smart switch which didn't recognize device so used emergency recovery and still bootloop. I have factory reset and wipe cache multiple times along with adb side load and individual flashes of bootloader, modem, kernel, flashed custom kernel and twrp to access fix permissions and to mount partitions with advanced wipe etc and still wont boot past logo. Also during one fix attempt phone said can't mount system.. Idk I'm not understanding where the problem is .everything says successful but I'm still in bootloop. Please help. I've spent hours everyday for the past week searching & trying different things that seem might help so open to any suggestions.
