[Q] smp600 -Stuck between a soft brick and a hard brick. - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

Hi guys, I was wondering if i could get some help here before resulting to rma .
I flashed a custom kernel over my custom rom (rom was initially working great before i flashed kernel). But it turned out the kernel i flash was the wrong one for the smp600. I did some research last night and flashed several stock firmwares (..CNH1, ..COB1, ..BMK1, ...) via PDA in ODIN. i managed to install custom recovery (TWRP) and used that to wipe cache and Dalvik - didn't quiet help. I also performed factory reset in both stock and custom recovery, no change. These were the outcome
--Tablet is recognized by pc in download mode only and ODIN works.
--After boot into android there is serious lag, restart after a few seconds and the cycle continues.
--After a while TW settles but the note is not recognizable by pc via USB
--Also instead of the first "Galaxy Note 10.1 2014" that first appears when note is turned on, the whole screen just displays several colored lines as if it were actually broken.
I would really appreciate the time you take off your busy schedule to help me with this, thanks.

Strange issue, unable to flash stock image.

Hello People,
I have a strange issue with my Galaxy Nexus (GSM version), I am not sure if I have bricked it.
I was on Custom Rom.. but suddenly started facing issues..
My phone boots alright but after boot I am not able to use the phone for more than a minute, the phone starts to reboot.
I have tried the below troubleshooting steps.
1). Tried full wipe, factory reset thru recovery (TWRP), the recovery tool says factory reset was sucessfull but when i reboot the phone it still boots to the old custom rom and start rebooting every min or two.
2). Tried flashing a different custom rom after a clean wipe, but issue remains as above
3). Tried flashing a stock image thru odin tool, but it fails at a certain point (tried both 4.3.1 & 4.2.2 stock images) and abck to square one.
Is there anyway that i can get my phone up & running ? or it is a hardware issue ?
Please help me out here
try flashing the stock image through fastboot.
It seems like we have the same problem :/
I also started a thread, because I didn't seen yours

Not your Usual Boot Loop

Hi Guys hoping someone can help me out.
One of my friends who should know better decided to try and flash a custom rom to his N7105 trouble is he used a n7100 twrp which apparently installed and then tried to flash a n7100 rom .
Now his phone is stuck in a boot loop, it sometimes gets as far as the animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing depending on what I last did to it lol. I can get into both download and recovery and the power button isn't stuck.
I don't know what stock version the phone was one when he started messing with it and he is vague about everything HE tried to do to fix it before I got my hands on it. Its entirely possible it was on 4.1.2 to start off with and he's tried to go straight to lollipop does the 7105 need to update in increments? or could he have put a n7100 bootloader on somehow but flashing stock via Odin should fix that right?
I have a memory of people having this sort of problem years ago with HTC and it ended up being a mismatch between the modem and baseband versions or something like that, thoughts?
Here's what I've tried
Odin flash CF-Auto root as it restores stock recovery at least now the PC detects it as t0lte not t03g
1) Recovery wipe data and cache - now only gets as far as the initial samsung galaxy note II screen
2) Odin flashing a 4.1.2 rom from sammobile - no go "unsupported" so has a knox bootloader
3) Odin flashing a 4.3 rom from sammobile - hangs on animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing
tried 1 again same result
4) Odin flashing a 4.4.2 rom from sammobile - hangs on animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing
tried 1 again same result
5) Install firmware via Kies - hangs on animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing
tried 1 again same result
Odin Flash proper version of twrp 2.8.7.0
6)Fix permissions in TWRP - says sucessfull but also has "E: unable to mount data" etc back to the initial galaxy note II screen
7) Flash custom rom via twrp - hangs on animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing
tried 1 again same result
I'm running out of ideas and patience with this thing does anyone have any other ideas for me to try?
After leaving the phone for a while to prevent me from smashing it into a million bits with the biggest hammer I could find I got it working tonight.
Charged the phone up I had to disconnect and reconnect a few times as it said it was 100% on the full screen battery picture then in recovery it said 18% or something
I re-flashed N7105XXUFNL2_N7105H3GFOD1_H3G from sammobile using Odin 1.85 along with the PIT file from this thread checking re-partition (I used a pit file otherwise I'd leave this alone), Auto Reboot, F.Reset time and Phone Bootloader update. This seemed to take longer than previous flashes.
Flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0
formatted Data in TWRP (the advanced one where you have to type yes to confirm). Previously Data was unmountable so I assume the long flash fixed something there.
Wiped cache in TWRP
and rebooted and waited ages and it came to life

Galaxy Note 2: Stuck In Bootloop

NoteII Randomly stuck in a bootloop with no access to recovery
I looked for two days around the web for fixes to this, tried flashing everything from roms (if i understand it correctly it's like a phone OS), through custom recoveries (the things that show up after the up/home/power button combo) and even a kernel. I know that I honestly shouldn't have done that without the full knowledge of what I did, but at 3AM I didn't think much. I think i even tried using PIT, but it got stuck and didn't go through.
Okay, specifics:
One day I pick up my phone and notice the big white letters - " (...) note II" etc, standard bootloop. Kinda surprising since I didn't do anything to the phone, but It had some problems before like deleting like 4-5 apps randomly once, or an icon or two disappearing. I tried the obvious method of recovery mode and clearing caches and such, but it didn't work:
after the button combination it briefly showed the "teamwin" blue logo of my recovery i used to have for like 2 years, and then it goes black, and the white letters show up again. Only the download mode shows up. Odin detects the phone and when i flashed a stock rom and some recoveries on it, odin said they "passed", but no change ensued, the recovery still showed teamwin's, even after flashing clockwork recovery, or whatever it's called. I basically accomplished nothing, and I need to know what to do specifically to fix the phone, without bricking it even more. can you guys point me in the right direction, or maybe try to diagnose the problem? Thanks.
-no recovery
-recovery flashing doesn't change anything
-download mode works, odin detects the phone
I've got the impression that you're trying to make two steps in one. I suggest to flash firmware through Odin, reboot, setup and then make wipes and factory reset in stock recovery. Then flash the custom recovery through Odin and all should be fine again.
Reminder: Don't flash firmware beneath your current bootloader version.

T700 Restore

I'm attempting to restore my T700. The security of the the tablet was compromised while overseas (damnit) and when I returned home I wiped it fresh, and I've gotten sideways somewhere along the way. I'm stuck now with the ODINRecovery.tar.md5 bootloader found from another thread. It boots with the 4 spinning circles with various frilly art dancing about. That's very technical.
Otherwise, I can connect via recovery mode in odin. I've downloaded stock and CM 12.1 ROMs, but I'm not able to get them to write. I'm getting errors in Odin 3.07/9 at "NAND Write Start !!". I've attempted flashing over TWRP and CWP, but I'm not able to boot into them after.
Prior to this fiasco, I was rooted running CM 12.1 /w nightlies.
Any help would be incredibly appreciated.
Restore to stock via Odin. Download/Zip firmware from Sammobile or other available link.
If you need Samsung drivers, Here you go.
Once you restore to stock via Odin and see the Green pass and still stuck on boot....Then reboot to factory recovery (Shut off T700, Power On - POWER + VOL UP + Home). Then factory reset the device and see it if boots.
Optional:
Once you have a working tab then proceed forward with Root+TWRP Recovery via Odin.
You and I were both on the same path. I downloaded stock last night and calmly walked away from it. About 30 min ago I re-checked the drivers and was able to complete the restore. From there straight back into TRWP and restoring a recent backup.
I guess I was just getting too close to the problem last night and needed some fresh eyes.
Thank you so much, for taking the time to chime in and help!

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:
