Hello all, as the title states. my Note 2 is stuck in a bootloop. Originally I had the Liquid smooth ROM flashed, I have been running this ROM for several months with no issue. Yesterday I tried to flash the Blissstalk ROM using the usual method: TWRP 2.8.5 > Full wipe > Flash Blissstalk > Wipe dalvik/cache again > Reboot system. Phone loaded up fine went through setup and installing apps fine. I put my phone on charge last night and woke up this morning to it stuck on the Bliss bootscreen. I pulled the battery and tried to boot to recovery (Vol up + home + power) instead of loading recovery my phone went straight to the bootscreen. Tried 3 more times and then 3 times to get it to boot to Odin. Nothing happens other than it goes straight to the bootscreen and gets stuck. Not sure what to do now and looking for a way to, if nothing else, return it to stock so I can start fresh.
Did you try the 3 button combo with no battery and then install the battery with the 3 buttons still pushed? It may sound crazy, and it's tricky too, but I'm hoping that you haven't tried that as to it may be the fix you're looking for.
Make sure you press the vol up+power+home key and keep it pressed until you see the Samsung logo appear. Your switch might be a but loose

I was on my phone, checking XDA, reading news and so forth. I put the phone down to grab some dinner. When I got back after eating I picked up my phone and it was unresponsive.
I held down the power button for a while and nothing.
I did a battery pull and I was able to boot to the Google splash screen with the unlock symbol. Unfortunately it just hung there.
I pulled the battery again, this time I booted in fastboot, then recovery. The clockworkmod recovery main menu came up in recovery, but when trying to do a restore or anything… The blue menu would disappear and not come back. I can get to recovery, but I am unable to do anything with it.
Last night I flashed to AOKP B26 from AOKP B25. I wiped cache and dalvik. I did not do a full wipe, but according to the dev you do not need to. This morning I flashed Morphic’s kernel TNP138-RD-FUV. I used this kernel on B25 with no issues for several days as well. I wiped cache and dalvik before flashing the kernel as well. CPU was set to the default 1190 and default voltages, with the on demand governor.
It is weird that I didn’t have any issues until hours later and the phone wasn’t even in use. It is as if it wiped itself. I am wondering how and why.
At this point I am going to do a full factory ODIN restore. I don’t think there are any other options.
EDIT, as posted below:
I was getting ready to do the ODIN restore when for the heck of it I decided to let it boot normally one last time. What do I have to lose.
I booted to the Google splash screen and set it down. I got a drink and took out the trash. When I came back I noticed it was at the boot animation! It sat at the boot animation for another couple of minutes but 10 minutes after pressing the power button I was booted up.
I let it sit for another 10 before I played with it. But now its like nothing ever happened. And it boots regularly now. I even booted into recovery and it is functioning as normal.
Any ideas what happened?

In cwm is there a 'go back' option at the bottom? If not scroll up and down a few times passing from bottom to top (looping) until it says like back button activated. If back is not active power button makes screen go off and on and does not select.
This is if you are not using touch enabled cwm.

if you can get into cwm then try fastboot and flash the factory images from the boot screen

I am not using the touch enabled. I know that if you cycle through the menu too much it will disable the select button, but if you keep cycling it will enable it. This isn't that.
The screen is on, I can see the clockworkmod recovery & version in the middle of the screen. Just the ICS blue menu disappears completely. no go back or anything. just a black screen with the clockworkmod info in the middle. It is as if its thinking but it just hangs.
id suggest you try to use ADB from recovery to try and at least pull the sdcard files first of all
second id try to flash another recovery from fastboot then boot to recovery and flash a rom or restore backup
if the above doesnt work then factory image from fastboot is it

I am rooted with a 16gb GSIII, I flashed the Blazer ROM (version 2.0) a couple of days ago after I got my gsIII. It ran fine and I had no issues with it. Today I tried flashing a new kernel from AGAT that I had read in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956392 was supported on the Blazer ROM in hope to allow me to overclock my device.
I made a nandroid back up first BUT didn't wipe anything foolishly and now everytime I boot my phone the samsung logo pops up followed by a banner saying AGAT. Every time I try to reboot into download or recovery (each time holding the down or up volume button along with the power button for 5-10 seconds) it just restarts that boot cycle.
Since my device turns on still is it only soft-bricked or is it technically full bricked since I can't get into cwm recovery or download mode? Any suggestions for what I should do?
No expert on this but try pulling out the battery and then go into recovery.

When holding vol up to get into the recovery, you need to release all the buttons to get into recovery. Do a cache wipe, then flash the kernel again. If you continue to get a bootloop, it may be a bad kernel.
HELP! i'm running liquid smooth on my S3 right now. the phone has been having issues, shutting down on its own, and i was going to load the stock rom to send it in for warranty.
the last time i was able to use the phone, a message popped up saying "System UI has stopped working". later on, the phone shut down on its own and when i turn it on, it gets stuck on the liquid smooth boot screen forever. i plug it into the comp, still nothing.
is my phone dead at this pont?! any way i can load the stock rom onto it or get it back to functioning?!! argh!
You can always go to recovery and do a factory reset that should get you booting again with liquid smooth if you want to go back to stock boot into download mood and from your computer Odin back to stock. The links can be found in Android dev section.
To boot into recovery from phone off hold volume up+home+power and to boot to download volume down+home+power
Making the iPhone jealous one user at a time.
Sounds like a framework issues to me. I would backup your ROM and then clean install after factory reset and cache wipe from recovery.

If you can get in to a custom recovery. You can use this.

I use it from time to time. No pc, complete stock totally on the phone itself. You will still need to wipe your internal storage. I do that first.
I use Phil's recovery.

Hello,
I've had my SM-700 (Live Demo unit) for the last few months. Pretty much as soon as I got it I ditched the SamWiz and installed a few different custom ROMs to get most of the system. This all went fine, but, unfortunately, the ROMs always had a problem reading battery life, would cause the device to get really hot, and die. especially if watching videos or gaming. Literally 100% to 5% in 15 minutes. I'd then restart it back up and the see the battery reading was actually around 80%. Really annoying obviously.
So today I decided to go back to Samsung, try their own firmware again, maybe I'd like it?
So I downloaded the UK 5.0.2 firmware from sammobile and flashed it using Odin. So far so good, but when I try flashing TWRP... nothing. I hold down power, vol + and home and I see an android guy lying on his back for a moment with the words "no command" and then the basic Android System Recovery screen. (reboot system, wipe/data/factory reset, wipe cache partition... etc) and when I tyr and select factory reset I'm not allowed. because "MDM does not allow factory reset" and it boots back into Android again.
Please help, I'd love to at least remove some of the bloat that comes with this thing and install a few extra apps non-play store apps of my own.
FYI: Using Odin 3.09 and downloading from here https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytabs84.html
I've tried versions 2.8.6.0 and 2.8.7.0 of TWRP. Same results.

MDM - Manufacturer Demo Mode.
Flash TWRP again, disable auto-reboot in Odin.
Reboot in to recovery immediately after flashing.
Hold POWER +HOME +VOL DOWN then as soon as the screen goes blank immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
Factory reset in TWRP.

Thank you! That worked!
Hello everyone,
Yesterday when I was going to use my tablet I noticed it was off, but minutes before it was on, so I tried pressing the power button and nothing happened, plugged the charger in, nothing, no signs, it seemed bricked, so I tried to power through download mode and it worked, after that I pressed volume down to cancel it to start normally, the first samsung logo showed up (that one that says the model and stuff), but it was there for really long, i left it running and after 5 mins or so it changed to the pulsing blue samsung logo, left it there and about 30 mins later it was back to the 1st samsung logo again. I also tried a soft reset and booting to safe mode, didn't work either.
This tablet has no custom rom installed (I think it is on stock 4.4.2), the only thing different I installed is TWRP and root, years ago, but I cant boot to TWRP through the vol up+home+power, it doesnt work, tbh it never worked since back then, the only way I found to boot to twrp was thru "adb reboot recovery" using adb, which didnt work in download mode, I want to be able to backup some data before flashing it with Odin, so here are my questions:
1- Is there any other command I could try to force it to boot to recovery?
2- Is there any way to backup data via download mode on this device?
Thank you for your attention
