Boot loop softbrick N7105 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Background
I was using my N7105 on Cyanogenmod 12.1 and updating the nightlies whenever they came about. All good for a long time. Then last week with no reason that I could see the phone started boot looping.
What I realised
Internal SD card is not mounted. Therefore all CWM commands that use the internal SD card are not working. ODIN cant flash the unmounted internal memory. The SD is empty but the file still exists. This is confusing future installs. ADB wont connect as it appears I had debugging disabled when the crash happened.
Any attempt to factory reset fails, since the SD to be formatted cant be mounted.
What I tried
Recovery in CWM - Passed but didnt fix bootloop
Factory Reset - Fails as SD cant be mounted, didnt fix bootloop
Cache reset - Fails as SD cant be mounted, didnt fix bootloop
Odin Stock - Passed but didnt work
Odin Stock with partition - Passed but didnt work
Odin Stock with partion and PIT- Passed but didnt work
Kies Stock - Passed but didnt work
ADB - Cant swith on debug mode as phone stuck in bootloop.

I am out of ideas. Anyone got anything I missed?

ADB Brute force
is there a method to brute force ADB even when debug is potentially disabled?
Im thinking doing a manual format from ADB could be the solution.

Odin version
I have tried with the Odin version 1.85 today with no luck. Originally I used the latest version.

Boot Screen
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

This is where my boot up stops. It sticks on this screen forever until the battery dies. It not exactly a boot loop I suppose, more a boot freeze. ( this is not my photo, but one I found online that is identical to my current screen)

This is the pit file I used.

Stock ROM version
I used the ROM version N7105XXDMB2_N7105EVRDMA2_N7105BVDLL3_HOME.tar.md5 ( too big to upload)

Is this the only way to fix it?

Is this the solution? Will this work on the N7105?

ADB attemps
So I tried ADB
The result was

Ok so my plan is to swap the internal sd for the external SD in the boot sequence. I ampretty sure that could negatively effect performance and is risky since the external micro sd could die at any time. However its potentially a way to kick the device back into action from which I can try and fic the internal sd.

In my research in order to try fix this, I am seeing a lot of people with the same problem as me on Cyanogenmod 12.1 . I wouldnt like to make accusations without evidence but is there something in CM 12.1 that is causing this?

I ran dmesg | grep mmc0 and this is what I found

Hello All
Can anyone tell me flashing using .PIT file will erase my EFS partition I don't have EFS backup I have same problem

I am reallt stuck guys. Does anyone have any ideas. Still cant fix this.
I also realised that nothing is flashing my device and that I am still on the same CWM despite flashing several different versions. I also tried to flash TWRP to no avail.
Plus all my attempts to flash roms came to nothing.
Is there a such thing as flash protect? can I remove it if so? how?

ODIN Suceeded but still stuck on boot screen!!! What the hell is wrong with my phone??

Finaly fixed this. I bought a new motherboard online for $27 USD . Wasnt worth wasting more time trying to fix the burn out chip. New motherboard works fine and phone is fixed.

@XDAiiClassic So it was a hardware failure?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am inclined to beleive so. As per my pst showing the chip was dead when I ran the code.
Havent spent a considerable amount of time on the problem, paying the $27 USD made more sense. I simply had to flash the new motherboard and voila.
I cannot say 100% but I think the phone was a victim of the sudden death chip problem. Either way, I would probably advise someone in a similar situation to skip weeks of fruitless effort and buy the new motherboard. That is unless you enjoy it for the challenge, in which case go ahead.

Were you using a stock ROM with Odin?

[Q] SGH-I747 trouble writing to /cache during flash, need troubleshooting advice

Hi all,
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 16GB (SGH-I747). Recently my phone starting locking up and shutting down on occasion, and yesterday it got much more frequent before refusing to boot at all. When I power on the phone it proceeds as normal up until the "Samsung Galaxy S III" logo screen before and then hangs.
I can enter recovery and download modes. I am also able to flash new recoveries using Odin (I tried switching to stock, and when that didn't work, back to CWM. No problems either time) But when I try to flash the stock ROM again, Odin hangs up on the /cache section of the flash and produces the following log:
Note: The only option I have checked in Odin is Auto Reboot

It's worth mentioning that I've tried to clear/format the cache several times with Clockwork Recovery, but it can't seem to mount, write or read the partition. The message I receive after taking almost any action in Clockwork (presumably because it's trying to update the cache) is this:
Code:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
I've also tried using Odin along with a pit file to repartition the device. It appears successful, but then still can't flash the image. Here's the log for that:
Note: In this case, I obviously have Re-Partition checked as well as Auto Reboot, but nothing else is selected.

Does anyone know how I can revive my phone? I'm not very familiar with the android environment or filesystem, and I'm hoping the problem is just that I'm doing something wrong/stupid.
Looks like you have the 4.3 bootloader and you cannot flash a stock 4.3 ROM in Odin unless you are using a a 4.3 ROM that has been compiled for flashing via Odin.
Don't use Odin with any ROM prior to 4.3.

[Q] Bootloop / root failure

Hi all.
My unrooted SHW-M480W got suddenly stuck in a samsung logo bootloop.
I can access system recovery and download mode, and my device is able to connect to odin (but not kies).
Recovery mode shows:
Code:

I downloaded the CF Auto-Root: p4notewifiany for the SHW-M480W (auto-reboot and F. Reset Time checked)
but Odin is unable to flash it:

How do I go from here to recover my tablet?
Any help would be appreciated, I am very new to this whole flashing my tablet thing.
SHW-M480W is a variant of the original Note 10.1, and not of the Note 10.1 2014, right? You might have better luck in those forums.

S4 mini keeps restarting

Hello guys,
My S4 mini (GT-I9195) is restarting after the Samsung GalaxyS4mini GT-I9195 screen.

Hello razvanells. Sorry for taking advantage of your topic, but I'm having the same problem as you.
This also happened with the S4 Mini (but I9192 version) of a my friend. This device had no root and had a stock rom. He hung up and did not turn on anymore, locking on the screen Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini I9192. I downloaded the stock rom from the sammobile site and installed it by Odin. The log I received was identical to yours, saying that the installation occurred successfully, but when the device reboots it goes to recovery mode and it does not start, I can only enter the download or recovery mode.
I tried the hard reset and received the following error:
Formatting / data ...
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
Formating / cache ...
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache
Data wipe complete.

I tried to recover the stock rom using Kies but it did not work either.
After a lot of research on google, I found a guy saying he was able to recover a smartphone using TWRP and formatting the memory in FAT and then reformatting it to EXT4 (at that link: http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-...850-encrypted-phone-freezes-when-turning.html).
I tried to install TWRP by Odin, which according to the log occurred perfectly, but after restarting the device the Android default recovery was there (even entering the recovery mode as soon as the phone rebooted).
I tried to install the CWM for Odin, and so it was. Odin's log said it was successful but when the phone was rebooted there was the default Android recovery again (even entering the recovery mode as soon as the phone rebooted).
I have no more ideas, and I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to solve this?
Thank you.
