Stuck at Boot Screen

Hey guys,
The GT-N7100 of my friend does not boot.It is stuck at the first screen ( Black screen with samsung galaxy note II gt-n7100).
He tried to install a custom rom and installed a Custom Recovery. In Custom Recovery the cache partition couldnt be load. So I cant wipe or format anything. If I want to install a zip, the Recovery just get stuck before even selecting a zip file.
I can access download mode. So I tried to flash another recovery. Odin says successful but the recovery is still the same ????
I also tried to flash a stock rom with Odin... nothing changed
So I dont know what to do next
Please help me!
Thanks in advance

well flash philz recovery via odin
untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button until it reboots (normally will go to recovery)
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm
now proceed with wipe and after flashing rom ,fix permission and wipe cache and dalvic cache twice then reboot

I wanted to try this, but this download contains just one file. Even if I extract the tar, there are not the files included which are discribed in the thread...
quite strange....
I simply cant flash anything with Odin. Odin says success, but nothing happened to the phone. I didnt read something about people who are having the same issue
This drives me mad .....

well its not sds for sure so it seems either recovery has gone corrupted as,the pit file u said is not required though u can find it here to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 post 4 no4 pit file16gb
but i would suggest you to try the recovery thing as mentioned in the link as see as the one i mentioned is used when it does not enter recovery try this version http://d-h.st/vCc
keep the power button pressed it should enter recovery leave the power button when u see samsung logo
I did it long time back so dont remember exactly whether to keep pressing power button or to hold power button worked for me as auto reboot was not working for me so did the other way round as mentioned to you

Im glad to hear that it is not sds.
I tried to flash the recovery of your link:
If I leave the phone connected if I press the power button after flashing just the battery symbol apears after a while.
If I disconnect the phone, it tries to boot normal...no recovery...
If I tap on the power button again and again nothing happens.....
If I try to boot into recovery with the 3 button combo there is still the old clockwork recovery.
I also tried to do a emergency recovery with kies. Kies does download all the files and when it starts to flash it gets stuck at 0 % and sais phone is not connected in the right way but it is...
In Odin mode the phone displays
custom binary downloads : Yes ( 1 counts)
But did flash the recovery at least 3 times ...So why does it still display 1

do u have kies installed when u trying odin if yes then delete it just install the samsung drivers nothing else and disable your antivirus too.
orelse u may try
thats quite strange ok now its time to try the mskip tool just delete all old samsung drivers and kies
and start fresh from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
and as far as the count in concerned its 1 as you were only able to enter recovery once thats why after that u were not able to so as many times u enter custom recovery the count increases

i would say no until there is an error which shows no pit partition found but after the above steps if it does not then u can give it a fresh start flash the pit first then the firmware . check youtube as how to do it there are vidoes described on how to flash pit and then the firmware.
i would suggest not to do something which you are not sure of and land urself in other issues though flashing pit and firmware is fine but i am not sure about the bootloader maybe u can ask in that specific thread , keten might be the best person to guide you in that case if its safe

[Q] Unable to root via Odin: Write protection: Enable

Hi guys, ladies,
I try to root my i9195 but Odin fails to write. I also noticed when putting in download mode that it says: Write protection: enable. See attached screenshot.
It's a Vodafone version of the S4 Mini, I can use different carrier SIM cards, but I cannot remove the Vodafone bloatware like 'Discover'.
Any ideas how to root this version and how to disable this Write Protection?
Thanks!
Andreas

Hello write protection is not the problem, I had the same trouble with mine you need to disable all antivirus and firewall temporarily then flash.

You need to go to recovery mode and do factory reset and wipe cache after that reboot. to go to recovery mode (volume up + Home Button + Power button)

I have the same problem. my phone is on XFV and I'm trying to flash XFE, but it's still on XFV, even after wiping the cache and doing another factory reset after the initial reboot...
any other advice?

The boot animation can only be changed if you change it manually or flashing a stock ROM from sammobile.com, not by rooting.
If I where you, I flash an unbranded stock firmware with odin (go to sammobile.com, download it and follow the steps from there). That will remove vodafone's bloatware. And if you still want to root, go with it.

Apart from disabling windows firewall, defender and antivirus... u must also terminate any kies programs running in the background. Go to taskmanager and choose processes tab. Then look for kies or any process with kies in its name. Right click on them and choose end.
Then try odin flashing again.

Sorry i forgot it no Kies install and driver package is the last from Samsung!

The Problem was the StockRom or the Kernl! The Stock was VD2-I9195XXUCNJ6 I flash with Odin another Stock (DBT) and after this it works!

I have manged to install cwm recovery and Sammys root v2 zip for root access which I now have but still says
write protection: enable
Does this mean I'm still stuck with stock rom?

I plugged my phone in and I didnt get a response from my PC, but it works while in CyanogenMod, meaning it's not the cable. It says WRITE PROTECTION: enabled in the top corner and I uninstalled Avast! a while ago. Do I still need to disable windows firewall or what else can I try? I want to go back to stock, using Odin 3.09

Hello you can ignore write protection, but you need to temporarily disable all antivirus and firewall software and then it should work.

The way I solved this is by flashing a deknoxified bootloader. I can post my bootloader later

Did not work

I went through control panel and disabled Windows Firewall, but when I did the same steps Odin still did not detect my phone with the "Added!!" message. Did I miss a step, are there more things to disable, or is Write Protection really a problem? Even if it's not, what does that message in BL mean because I don't remember that there before
Thanks for the help for now though, because now I hear the sound in Windows when I plug in my phone

Galaxy Note 4 Sprint boot loop

Hey Everyone,
I have a huge problem. I have been searching the Web and even this forum for answers. Tried multiple things but I am still having trouble. I heard this was the place to go.
So I attempted to CF-Root my galaxy note 4 from sprint (Model # SM-N910P). I've rooted many of my andriod devices in the past (including samsung products) and have never experienced what I'm about to tell you.
Using Odin I attempted to root this device. It says it was successful then it rebooted. However, it hasn't stopped rebooting since. It's stuck in a boot loop. It loads past the "Galaxy Note 4" logo screen , then past the "Samsung" screen. But once it reaches the "Sprint" screen it stops there for a few seconds then reboots all over again starting with the "Galaxy Note 4" screen.
Here is everything I have tried so far:
- I took out the battery, waited a few mins. Put it back in turned it on. Same thing occurs
-I attempted to re-root. Still says successful. But still boot looping occurs.
-I then did a factory reset. Still occurs
-I then in the recovery menu wiped the data AND the cache partition. Still boot looping.
-Now I have read a fix of having to flash the stock firmware. Basically starting from scratch. I did this through 2 methods. First I found the stock rom file for the variant and specific model. Using Odin attempted to install it (via pda) It failed. (Don't recall what it said)
-Now I found a thread in this forum using its own stock tar file. Attempted to install that. It still failed. I will list the results from that below. I also wanna say I did make sure I had the right updated samsung USB drivers installed before I attempted to install these files. Plus Odin recognized the device no problem anyway.
Here are the results:
(ODIN RESULTS):
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> N910PVPU1BOB7_N910PSPT1BOB7_N910PVPU1BOB7_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

Not sure if this matters but before the root and this boot loop I enabled developer mode and enabled usb debugging.
So this is everything I've tried so far and the results. I've also re downloaded the file and have attempted this about 4 times already with no luck. Still getting the same fail with the same results and same boot loop. Can anyone give me any more tips here? Or is my phone a goner? I've already wiped this thing. So losing data is no longer a concern for me. I just really need some help. I've tried to be as descriptive as I could cause I know even the smaller details can matter here. If I missed anything feel free to ask me. This is my last resort. Thank you so much in advamce!
I appreciate all and any help on this!

Thank you for using XDA Assist. I am moving your thread to the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Q&A forum so hopefully someone there can help. Good luck!

You'll need to use the correct root method found in post below. Also, refer to OP of that thread to understand the reasons; OG5 update blocked root at kernel level. And bootloader blocks downgrade to lower versions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62241991
Flash TWRP then try the Beastmode kernel and SuperSU zip in recovery with cache and dalvik-cache wipe. If it doesn't boot, you may need the OG5 stock tar and start over.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62230599&postcount=1
Note: if TWRP doesn't flash, wipe cash and dalvik-cache, reboot recovery, wipe again and flash the kernel and SuperSU zip.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I clicked the link and followed the steps. TWRP wouldnt load so I used CWM Recovery. To get beast mode, I installed it onto an old sd card I had using someone else's phone. Using CWM Recovery I installed beast mode kernel, rebooted and viola! It's out of boot loop and gotta start from scratch. That's ok though. Turns out I backed everything up and didn't realize. It's running smoothly! I truly appreciate your help on this! After everything I've tried this was my last resort. Thought I was going to lose my phone. Thanks again! :good:

Looking for a debrick.img for Android 5.1.1

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction or is willing to make one?

The i747 does not have a stock 5.1.1 rom; therefore, there is no debrick image for a 5.1.1 rom.
What bootloader is on the phone? Did any of the images from the debrick thread boot the phone?

Does installing 5.1 change your bootloader?
As in Cyanogenmod 12.1?
Softbricked my S3, and I'm not sure which way to attempt to recover/debrick & would appreciate any advice.

My guess from another thread is that the /system and /data partitions are not wiped properly, causing those partitions to be formatted with read-only (R/O) permissions rather than read-write (R/W)? But those files are definitely not right for my phone, so what now?

Use twrp to as cwm is out of date. Once on twrp, you can try flashing cm12.1 again.
Flashing a custom rom via twrp does not touch the bootloader or modem.
Do not flash any files via Odin as doing so could result in a hard brick. Once the phone is on a 4.3 or newer bootloader, Odin cannot be used.

Good to know.
Thanks.
But how do I get twrp onto the phone?
was actually trying to put twrp on with odin, but that's not working.
The downloads I've seen are for:
app-phone doesnt boot
odin- aint working
TWRP Install - Requires TWRP 2.8.4 or higher already installed
dd Install Method - oh, didn't see that one. I'll try that & let you know.:laugh:

well, I'm not figuring it out....
As per the twrp page, tried: dd if=/sdcard/twrp-2.8.7.0-d2att.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
file not found error
tried: dd if=/storage/sdcard1/twrp-2.8.7.0-d2att.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
file not found error
did ls (hey it's like linux!)
got possible locations: external_sd, sd-ext, sdcard, also looked under mnt.
file not found error
cd'ed & ls'ed to /storage/sdcard1/ there it frickken is!
ran the command there, sans path, and still get file not found error
arrrrgh.

Try this:
1) download Odin 3.07 from here: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j...07763241,d.dmo
2) download the tar version of TWRP 2.8.7.0 from here: https://dl.twrp.me/d2att/
3) download the latest cm12.1 for the phone from here ( http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/d2att/) and save it to a micro SD card;
4) download the version of cm12.1 gapps you want from here (https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps) and save it to the same sd card where you saved CM12.1;
5) place the micro SD card into the phone;
6) boot the phone into download mode;
7) open Odin 3.07 and uncheck everything except f. reset time;
8) click on PDA and browse to the tar TWRP file and select it;
9) connect the phone and it should show up as a com port in Odin;
10) flash TWRP;
11) when you see the word RESET in the status window, remove the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the button combination to get into recovery which should now be TWRP;
12) perform a full wipe of system, data, and cache;
13) flash CM12.1 and gapps from the micro SD card;
14) reboot and enjoy

very detailed response, thanks. I've tried most of that, as some thread I was reading said that twrp probably has the capability to fix the issue, and CWM definitely doesn't.
Odin never really does anything, though. How long should I wait?
This step is the one I haven't done "7) open Odin 3.07 and uncheck everything except f. reset time;" Just left everything alone the multiple times I tried. Hopefully that'll make a difference.
Tried 3.07, 3.09, 3.10.6. I'll try again.

By default in Odin 3.07, only auto reboot and f reset time are checked.
What do you mean when you say Odin does nothing? Does the phone appear as a com device in Odin? Are there error messages in Odin during the flash process?

never gives anything other than:

not at a windows computer for a couple days. stuck on linux mint with no internet. has heimdall & adb, though....
have twrp img & tar, cm12.1, and gapps on the sdcard.

All I can suggest is to try and get access to a pc or try VMware with win7.

Tried again last night for about 12 hours, no response from Odin.
Decided to give jtag a shot.
Contacted the jtag guy & gave him all the above info.
He says
"Unfortunately there are many indicators that your phone has a hardware failure.... Most likely a failed emmc memory chip.
1) the phone getting stuck on boot logo for no reason.
2) Odin not flashing...
3) files not found or... Not being able to do.
These are all indicators that the emmc memory chip is toast...... The biggest clue is finding the phone stuck on boot logo... Out of nowhere for no reason.
Jtag would not be able to fix it.
Thank you"
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Thanks for the help.
Might sell the remains.
16G I747 blue, normal wear & tear, small chip in one corner, the case covers it.
2 stock batteries
1 7800mah best4power battery
1 otterbox defender modified to hold extended battery without the turtleback
any offers?

i suggest trying on a Windows machine before giving up. I am not convinced the memory is damaged.

That was on a windows machine...

Odin recognizes the phone but it won't flash twrp? Have you tried different USB cables and USB ports?

I had a amazing talk with the lg develeopers yesterday....since I am in the same boat since my lg k7 is bricked....I ask them for the kdz firmware so I can reflash my phone....you wanna know what they told me?
first they ask: whats a kdz file?
their answer: We don't make those thing you need the official lg tools to update your device firmware....so we cant help you...
Me: I am extremely pissed now since they are lying to me & then I showed them a link from their server to DOWNLOAD a kdz file firmware for another device that I had....
their answer: we dont know what you are talking about...sorry we can't help you!
I even went to my nearby metropcs store & explained to him what happen...
first. he didn't understand the following:
1-bootloader
2. boot image
3. recovery mode
4. download mode
5. kdz firmware
6. bricked & softed-bricked
the f-cking guy told me I can't do anything, but "report my phone lost or stolen" so I can get a new one....
How the hell are these idiots getting jobs when they have NO IDEA what to do on how to fix a phone
My level of anger is now over 9000.....

Samsung Note II GT-N7100. Not sure what the problem is.

Hello, after using the LineageOS for 2 weeks without any problems today my phone restarted on his own and got stuck in Note II logo, I was able to get into Downlaod mod and also in TWRP recovery. But I am not able to do anything inside TWRP, can't install new ROM, can't wipe partitions, can't select storage (shows 0MB) to restore. Tried to flash stock firmware with ODIN, but always fails. Tried everything I was able to find using Google.
I will be so grateful if you can help me. Thank you.

What is the Odin error from the installation log?

Try changing the file system to ext4 for every partition possible. You'll loose all your data including songs,images etc.
If this dont work, try formatting the internal storage

When I try to change the file system or format the storage I am getting "Unable to mount storage" error. Also when I choose "Wipe" from TWRP and choose partition to change the file system I get:
Code:
Mount Point: /system
File system: ext4
Present: No Removable: No
Size: 0MB Used: 0MB
Free: 0MB Backup Size: 0MB

The sboot.bin file is the bootloader.
It's not flashing because the ROM is not for the phone, the bootloader on the phone is newer than the bootloader in the ROM, or Odin needs the original Samsung USB cable.
The model number in download mode is gt-n7100?

Yes, the model in downlaod mode is GT-N7100, but I am not using the original cable of my Note II, odin does not detect my phone with it at all, so I am using other Samsung phone original cable.

Does Odin detect the phone with the Samsung cable?
You are using the latest stock rom?

Dont wipe from advanced wipe.. wipe from the screen where you choose 'advanced wipe' option. I right of advanced wipe button there is format data button .. do that .... It may helps as mine got the same problem two times and solution was different for both

I tried both, the factory reset and the format, still getting the "Unable to mount storage".
I think Odin detects the phone, it goes yellow or blue (depending on the version). And even with the pit file I get stuck at "Get pit for mapping".
