hi there! I'm kind of new here so bare with me please!
so I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note 2014 edition, and immediately went in and started messing around with the boot animations,I went in and accidentally got rid of the shutdown.qmg file but I thought I found a replacement one on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696903 form. unfortunately, it did not work and now my tablet refuses to shutdown or restart.every time I attempt to shutdown or restart it gives me a black screen for about 30 seconds before turning back on and going to the lock screen. it would be great if I could shut down my tablet again without having to reset the whole thing.
Thanks!

Not sure what the problem is but what i would do is try to flash this tab s boot animation here. This is the one i use for my note.I do think i had this problem before and i couldnt figure out what is was and had to flash my rom over again. It wont hurt to try to flash this as it wont make anything worse.

Try go to each of the qmg files and change their permissions or all read write and execute. I had the same problem

Hi guys,
I'm hoping someone can offer some advice.
I'm running a non-rooted, GSM, stock 4.0.1 Galaxy nexus. My phone restarted on its own and is now stuck in an infinite boot loop. I did several battery pulls to turn the phone off. Turning it on again, it gets stuck in the boot loop never reaching the homescreen.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance
Well you could grab an Odin flash file and reset your phone from download mode. When powering on the fone hold volume down and power.
Also could hold both volume buttons and power when turning on to go into fast boot mode where you could try flashing a stock image through fastboot from your pc

How do I even get the files on the phone?

Get into a bootloader and factory reset your phone.
It was happening to my gn everytime I put it in my pocket. Why I don't know. I put my gn in perfectly working condition in my pocket and when I pulled it out wanting to, say, take a picture, it was looping.
Been to the store, called tech supp... nobody knows why.
That all stopped after I unlocked, rooted and flashed a custom rom. Not one crash ever since (10 days)
Thanks man. I just brought it back to the store and they replaced it.
anybody knows how to back up my pictures/movies. I got also the boot loop issue and I first want to secure my files before resetting... My GN is not rooted or modded whatsoever.

I', afraid it's not possible without root and CWM.
The problem only happens when I reboot or turn on the phone. When it boots up, I get multiple results. A: It boots up normally (not a problem) B: When it gets to the samsung screen, it freaks out and reboots itself again and again. It's like it's struggling to boot up. One time it got to the gs 3, but then it looped back. C: This just happened today. I booted up and it went pass the samsung screen but when it got to the gs 3 screen, the screen turned a faint pink and it stayed on that screen.
This just happened right after version 8. I know 10 was messed up but on 9 and 11, this problem persisted. Also,I don't think the issue is the phone, since I don't have this problem on other Roms. If I'm wrong please let me know .
Any suggestions, advice, help, etc is welcomed.
Please... i really need help.

I unrooted, went back to stock, it did a factory reset so no bugs should have been alive. I re-rooted, made a backup, did a factory reset and wiped dalvik, then I flashed the rom zip and rebooted. It gets stuck on the Gs III screen. I waited like 5 minutes and it didn't move. My battery was at 50% so I just put it on the charger and tried to boot up and it went through to the set up screen for gmail.Just to see if it was coincedental, I did another reboot but this time it got stuck again. It sounds like a system problem but i'm not sure.Like i said earlier, this only happens on Jellybomb.
Any other ideas?
Edit: I've tried switching recoveries but it doesn't fix it.
Sigh.
[Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100]
((EDIT: Suddenly, after leaving it turned off for about 15 minutes, it works. It just powered up IN THE PACMAN ROM! Still no clue what happened though, Would like to find out for the future))
Hello there,
My device was working fine yesterday, however today I re-rooted after an update. This went well and all was working fine, until I decided to try my first ROM, the PACMan ROM. I flashed with CWM6 (Following a tutorial, using Odin) which seemed to work fine until I actually tried to use it. I went to reboot my phone, and when it started up, it was (graphically) glitching, with the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo twitching around the screen, and a strange set of brown, thick-ish bars moving around the bottom half. Following a few seconds of this, the device shut off.
Following this I discovered that I could get it to stay on and boot-up successfully if I held down the home button (Not sure if relevant), however I still wanted to get down to the bottom of the issue. Following some research, I decided to try and flash a different download of CWM 6 for my phone again. This time it worked, and I went straight to factory reset then install the 'Gapps' and ROM file. There were no unexpected errors in this installation, however when the phone restarted, the same glitch occurred, only without a way past it.
I have since tried patching with the other CWM file that didn't work to see if perhaps I could use my phone again, but this didn't work. Similarly, I've used the working CWM to do a factory reset without installing any ROMs, and the booting still didn't work.
Please help I don't wan't to risk doing further damage, and would be perfectly happy going back to regular jellybean.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Thomas
TL;DR My Galaxy Note I N7100's boot is after flashing
Hi,
I recently tried installing the new 4.3 update onto my Samsung Galaxy S3 I747. Also, I never rooted my phone and my carrier is Telus if that matters.
When my phone finished updating, it lead to the lock screen. Just as I was about to enter my pin and unlock it, the phone restarts and gets stuck on the Samsung splash screen. I have tried entering into recovery mode and then wiping the cache and restarting it, but no luck.
I do not wish to restore my phone back to factory settings because I do not want to lose my music and apps. Is there a solution that can fix it without wiping the memory?
Thanks.
edit: i left it charging for a few minutes while it was stuck on the samsung splash screen, and then it went to the lockscreen and restarted it self
... i have to wait five minutes before i can save my edit
editedit: it just went to lockscreen for a second again
editeditedit: its going back to lockscreen quite often and restarting it self

When you got it into recovery did you try to wipe data/factory reset??
But to be honest it sounds like your phone is soft bricked maybe. I'm experiencing the almost same problem with my AT&T sgh-i747. Mine is stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S III screen and doesn't go any further than that at all.
You will most likely have to do that same thing I am doing which is reflashing android 4.3 via odin. It may work for you, I'm pretty sure it'll work for mine. Head over here and read this thread and see if this can help if not let me know and we'll come up with somethin else to help you fix your phone. (If I'm correct following this thread and flashing via odin will not erase and of your data.)
Your only other real option is to install the 4.3 MJ2 leak via heimdall. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2496425
Heimdall will flash odin files. http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall But odin will not flash heimdall files. It works much like odin flash in download mode so i'm told. I'm trying to figure it out now. I hope this helps.
I was never able to get the above Heimdall installed correctly on my pc. I am still stuck at the black and white galaxy s3 screen. I installed TWRP via odin to try my to run my nandroid i made earlier today and it says successful. But when I go to reboot It says No OS are you sure you want to reboot. I was already on 4.3.3 via the OTA update like you. And now i'm here turn phone on and it's going straight to download mode
Please HELP US BOTH Someone ANYONE

This time i got an infinite boot animation, my tablet got too hot and i turned it off/. Since then it doesn't start at all. I have got a backup but i don't know how to apply it now. Would be thankfull for any help.
