[Q] Help - There is something wrong with my Phone!

Hi XDA Forums,
I have a problem with my Note 2 for some reason.
Let me explain you what is wrong with my Note 2
I was sitting down and watching a movie, my phone was right next to me, The phone randomly turned off and after couple of second it had turned back on. It had showed the first every screen when you turn it on "Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100". Now from there it keeps on looping the same screen over and over again.
I had done some research before opening this thread, I saw that some people said I should try factory resetting it from the recovery mode, I then tried going on the recovery mode, it was not successful, it had showed me the same "Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100" screen and then repeated to boot loop it self again, I tried going on the recovery a couple of times but it didn't let me go on it.
Next I had then downloaded the 4.1.2 Official Firmware from SamMobile to flash it to stock again, I had then tried going on the Download Mode, It goes to the screen for Download Mode, but when I try pressing up to continue from the warning message it had then rebooted it itself and made it self stuck on the screen again.
Basically, my phone is stuck on boot loop, It does not let me access the recovery mode and it also does not let me access download mode.
ROM Using: Tigra_RomV3 4.3 Based ROM
Kernel Used: The Kernel which comes with the ROM or Stock, I didn't change the kernel myself.
If there is a internal problem does that mean I wont get help from the Warranty because the phone was rooted?

hello,
just try to use the jig, it should work...
use it so your phone will be in download mode, then flash your rom

Do you NANDROID backup? Maybe you may restore it by custom recovery.
Second, remove the battery first for a while and retry to access the RECOVERY and DOWNLOAD mode. If not, try the suggestion up there.

Hard bricked GT-P5200 (can still access download mode)

Hey guys
A friend of mine was flashing his Galaxy Note 3 GT-P5200 and it suddenly froze, then it restarted.
Now at every restart, it's stuck in a recovery loop.
I can still access donwload mode, and I've tried flashing several firmwares with Odin but it still reboots directly to the recovery mode and restarts.
I've tried flashing different recoveries, but it still reboots every time.
Is it hard bricked ?
If it is, what are the solutions ?
Thank you

If it stays in recovery mode long enough to perform a cache wipe, try that. Then a full data wipe/factory reset. If you can't get that to work, then I have no other ideas. You did flash a full firmware package in Odin, correct?

Unfortunately it doesn't stay on the recovery mode even half a second.
It restarts right away.
And yeah, I've flashed the correct files again and again but the problem persists.
I guess it just went to electronics heaven ...

Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 bricked

Hey. Thought I should flash cyanogenmod 11 into my mom's phone. When I did it, realized that Ace couldn't connect to carrier for some reason. Anyways I decided to get back to stock GB. I've already tried to flash maybe four stock builds of GB and JB (they were all from "SamMobile") through Odin, but none of them really boot up, I get stuck at Samsung logo.
Recovery won't work, even if I flash a new one through odin ( f.e. this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532591 )
Download mode does work.
I saw there was this 3-part GB installation file from a russian guy, which I should have used, but it's already deleted in "Yandex". I live in Lithuania, so I'm supposed to use SEB version of firmware. I was wondering could someone reupload it ?
I tried to fix Ace through Kies, but it says that GT-I8160 recovery isn't available for some reason...
Any answers greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

After flashing the sammobile rom with odin, if it doesn't boot, go to recovery (the original one coming with the original rom), and do a factory reset/wipe data. This helped for me.

The problem is that even if I try to enter recovery (power + vol up + home), it stays stuck at samsung logo

You can try to insist by continuing pressing the 3 buttons for recovery even if the phone reboot. If you're stuck in a boot loop, you can also try to remove the battery to switch it off and switch it on again by pressing the 3 buttons.
For me the odin flash of JB rom + recovery clean up always solved the problem. I don't know any other way.

Do the official ROMs (tar.md5) come with official recovery, or do I have to flash one seperately ?

The official ROM include an official recovery, you don't need to flash another one.

i too needed to go back to the stock from from cm11, because i cannot get wi-fi direct to work.
i flashed an xxmf1 rom, but when the phone rebooted, a message said samsung set up wizard has stopped, and i cannot get past it. this is even after doing a factory reset.
i went back to cm 11, and flashed the stock rom again. this time, the rom flashes in odin, but takes long to go from reset to pass, and windows now says hardware id is missing.
the phone goes black after the samsung logo, and cwm is still installed.
any help would be appreciated.
edit: fixed by flashing the three-part gb rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141930

Turns out I disconnected my Ace 2 too early (dammit). As soon as I saw "RESET" in odin, I thought it has finished flashing and I disconnected it before it goes into recovery and flashes everything. Never thought I could be that stupid.
Thanks for replies tho :good::good::good:

Boot Loop Samsung GT-I9195, errors in recovery mode

Hello. I have a problem with my Samsung GT-i9195.
When I power on the device it stays at the Samsung logo for few seconds, then vibrate, restart, vibrate and again at the Samsung logo - see the video

In Odin I can only flash the Android 4.4.2 stock firmware. But it happens the same.
I can't flash the bootloader and other stuff from this post because I get Auth(failed) in Odin. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751224
I can't flash TWRP because Odin freezes at analyzing file...(tried on 2 PCs)
Now I am downloading another firmware from SamMobile for my phone...
I receive some errors in Clockworkmod recovery - see the picture
I get errors when wiping cache and stuff like that with "can't mount"..
Please help!

Hello! Any solution?

No

I think your emmc memory are dead.

s3 t999l unable to flash any rom with twrp 3.1.1-0

I did a search and maybe not correctly but I did not find my particular problem.
So I have stock root66 rom flashed with odin 3.11 on my phone goes into boot loop.
I flashed twrp 3.1.1-0 with odin and I can go into recovery but as soon as I select any rom (OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170811-1427-d2tmo) it starts to do something and just reboots the phone and back into the boot loop. I reboots to fast for me to even figure out what it says on the phone.
Has anyone else experienced this? Battery is charged to 80%+
edit: tried CWM same symptoms reboots right away. Only thing I can flash with is odin otherwise with any recovery reboots right away. I was able to flash a modem with twrp and that works but no roms work.
update 2: I finally was able to get root66 installed. Gets to the set up part. Once I finish the setup the phone turned off on its own. It never turns on on its own so leads me to believe the power button isnot stuck but why does it turn off on its own? I turned back on and goes into bootloop.

The power button may be stuck in the "pressed" position.
Have you tried TWRP 2.87? You're sure you are flashing the correct TWRP version for the phone?

Thanks for the reply. I have tried 6.0.1.2_CWM_Touch-recovery-image & twrp-3.0.2-0-d2tmo.img but not 2.87.
However, as I stated above I was able to flash a modem but just not flash any roms which is weird.
If the power button pressed and the phone reboots when i pull the battery and put back in wouldn't the phone turn back on? I'm just finding it odd the phone keeps rebooting but when I pull the battery and put back in it doesnt turn on automatically.
update: So 2.8.6 twrp worked which is odd installing as we speak phone has not rebooted yet so lets see how it does once rom is flashed. I did odin root66 and after that installed it kept rebooting so fingers crossed this works. Using OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170811-1427-d2tmo hopefully this works

so after the flash seems to just back to the bootloop. I'm still not convinced my power button is stuck since it doesnt auto turn on and during the whole process of flashing it didnt reboot on its own only after the flash. Any ideas?
Literally gets to the samsung galaxy siii logo and reboots right away.

Try flashing the latest stock ROM, not a rooted stock ROM.

same bootloop. Gets to the tmobile animation and then reboots.

It's possible that the memory chip is damaged. You could take it to a repair shop and have it flashed via jtag.
