my phone starts,with samsung gt 7100 logo,after 2-3 seconds it shows clockwordmod recovery with version,then again it restarts,same is happening again and agian,help guys,need you,i have tried to boot into download mod,and recovery,nothing works,please help

I think if you hold power button + home button + down for about 20 second (till you get GTN7100 for second time) and take off your hand, download mode will start. Then you have to flash recovery again via Odin. I had same problem with recovery, however download mode was working.

It's best to go under download mode (vol+home +power) press volume up to continue and enter download mode ,or if you can access recovery mode (volume down +home+power) then flash twrp 2.6.3.2 it's the best recovery for aroma based installations and also works with 4.3 and 4.4 based roms.Here's the link to twrp 2.6.3.2 for our note 2 http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t03g/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-t03g.zip flash this using existing recovery

thanks

similar issue
Hi, I don't know if I should make a separate post but I have a similar problem.
My Note 2 is stuck on the "Samsung GALAXY Note II GT-N7100" screen at boot. Only by flashing a stock ROM through ODIN can this be fixed. When I try to install a custom recovery and ROM on it, it gets stuck again at that screen.
Can anyone help me?

Hold down power button for 5~10 secs. after it stucks on boot logo, and try if it reboots normally.
Or press Vol. up + Menu key and then power key for 5~10 secs it'd boot your phone into recovery mode.

Please reread my post. It's a persistent issue. Rebooting doesn't do anything. Recovery doesn't do anything.

What you willing to do? so I can guide you through the right way.

I was wondering if anyone had a similar issue to mine and how to flash a custom rom after that. The only way I've found for the phone to work was to use ODIN to flash the stock firmware on it. After that, if I try to install a custom ROM, it goes back to the SAMSUNG screen at boot.
So if you, jikre, know how to fix this issue, I'm all ears.

This method has fixed numerous problems. Might be worth a try.

Download a stock firmware and use ODIN v3.09 to flash it onto your phone. It should work.

If you wanted to install custom rom, if so, you can't flash it through Odin (Only for flashing for Official stuff ). Download a custom rom, whichever you wanted(Copy that rom on externel SD), reboot into recovery and by selecting 'wipe data and cache' >> 'clean to install a new rom'.
Then again coming to main menu select Install zip from sd, and redirect it to rom file which you've downloaded. In any custom rom like DN3, SenSonic they've full procedure for flashing the rom, just stick to it to install it perfectly...
Any quest?

Jikre, I've already mentioned several times I know how to flash a recovery and custom ROM. I'm saying that the phone stops working after I try to do so.

Got you man, i'm just saying that this problem of yours is come with the Andro v4.3 and knox bootloader. First if anyone tried to install custom recovery it get stuck on bootlogo, but that is an another factor you can reboot it manually into recovery menu.
On the end when you attempt to reboot (from recovery) it asks you to disable stock recovery and you reboot your phone normally, that's it!

Ah okay, that makes sense. Unfortunately that doesn't apply to my situation. I had already been on a 4.3 custom rom for several months when the phone just died like that. As of right now, I can only get it to work if I flash a stock ROM on it.

Just try to wipe your phone from custom recovery (Not 'Clean Flash' & It may work). Have you tried to disable to recovery at end when it asks?

I have used both CWM and TWRP recoveries. Complete wipe every time before installing a new ROM. Still doesn't work. Only wiping and installing stock firmware through ODIN would the phone start.

Which ROM you tried to flash? Can you upload a pic of PC Odin, showing how you flash the phone. Or just enlist the options.
Try flashing your phone by philz touch ('Wipe Data & Cache >> Clean to Install a New ROM" << Maybe your previous installation troubling to set a new one, If persist again try this method):

T805 bad flash in Odin and no recovery with button combo

Hi everyone, some help is needed. Mistakenly when rooting my stock T805 with CF autoroot, tired and sleepy, I flashed it in Odin in BL (bootloader) and not in AP box as I should. Soft bricked it, couldn't go back to stock, somehow managed to install recovery, from there to some AOSP rom and finally to Xtrolite (which is great) .Anyhow, all is working now, EXCEPT, i still cannot flash stock rom in Odin, seems i destroyed bootloader but then again, I flashed stock bootloader-only file, i got recovery, any rom etc. Help is needed what to do??
Also, is this normal that VOL UP+ POWER+ HOME wont enter recovery?? I remember this when i bought it, with knox 0x0 and now also, with TWRP, i have to use an app to reboot to recovery?! weird...
Cheers!

If you had trashed the bootloader you wouldn't even have a bootable device, it would be bricked.
Not getting into recovery is purely pilot error.
You need to give more details regarding flashing the stock rom, screen shots etc.

Part of the problem was that i couldn't enter recovery with button combo but needed to have working rom with special app or 4 way reboot mod. When flashing stock rom (either 4.4.2 or 5.0) at the end of the proccess it says: FAIL (red).

You need to post a screen shot of the flash process in Odin.
I'll reiterate, regarding entering recovery mode is 99% of times user error.
From power off hold POWER + HOME + VOL UP until recovery boots.

Help with rooting (or something) gone wrong on Samsung GT-N5120

Hi!
My neighbors (11-year old) son apparently tried to root their Samsung GT-N5120 with something called King Root(??). I don't know more than that and they asked me to fix it cause (you know computers) -.-.
The problem is that it's stuck in boot loop. It boots up and it shows the screen and all but it doesn't happen anything and then it reboots. Now what i've tried is to start it in recovery mode (Volume Up + menu button + power button) and i've tried to do a factory reset but it didn't work. From what i've read i think he has overwritten those files that the factory reset needs. So what can I do? It doesn't seem to be bricked since it starts and I can start it in both recovery mode and download mode. My computer reacts when I plug it in and tries to install drivers and so forth (but it won't show up on My Computer). So something probably can be done I just don't know what to do. Any ideas?

If I start it normally it gets stuck a while on the animation screen, then it restarts, is stuck a while and so on. If I boot it up in recovery mode (home+power+vol up) I can navigate those menus and if I boot it up in download mode (home+power+vol down) I can navigate in those menus.

I think I would like to install a custom ROM either through recovery or through Odin (the one that's easiest). The thing is I don't really know where to begin when it comes to tutorials and such, do you have any suggestions of a good tutorial of how to do that? And if you have a link for a custom ROM (or stock ROM) that would work for this device I would reeeally appreciate it!

1. try downloading a custom recovery twrp or cwn (i myself use twrp)
2. go into your stock recovery and install the recovery you can also flash the recovery with odin informations are provided where you download the recovery
3. choose a custom rom there are several custom roms on xda choose the one you like read the first page for busgs and information about that rom
4. do a full wipe and flash the rom agian tutrials on flashing the rom should be on the first page of the rom you download
**since i have n5100 not n5120 i cannot recommond you a special rom
** be very careful you should just install the recovery and rom for your device as you said n5120 else you may hard brick the tablet.
