So, I have an issue here.
I rooted my wifes phone awhile ago, and recently she has been complaining that she has bad battery life, phone freezing, etc , eyc.
So I figured I would change roms and update CWM.
I relashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076967
and everything went fine.
Phone rebooted as if it was back at a default rom, but still rooted.
So I went through the phone setup and got it up and running.
I then put the updated ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1 PURPLE UPGRADE RFS/EXT4 file on my sd card and turned the phone off.
I tried booting the phone into recovery by using the 3 button method and now I am stuck on the black Samsung screen.
I pulled the battery numerous times and I cant get this thing to boot at all.
Someone please help as I am lost here.
Thank you.
Just odin back to stock ec05 and start fresh with one click root + cwm3.1.0.1......
Edit: unless you haven't made a band backup yet then you should try your best to boot up regularly and make a titanium backup

Thanks....... Found a thread about using odin, and now have the phone back to default.
I guess I will go ahead and try this all over again.
Thanks for your help.
So, I ran the one click root method found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076967
Everything went smooth.
Did all system updates, etc.
Phone was running just fine.
Now when I go to use the 3 button recovery method the phone stays put on the black samsung screen once again!
Cant even boot the phone normally now.
Why is the phone doing this?
This makes no sense at all.
Hmm..... try to flash a pre-rooted rom (like chris41g's ec05 plus rom) and then try to use the 3button method...... if this persists then you should probably stick to using quickboot to get into the recovery.....
Here's the link to the rom ---- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061912
qbking77 knows what he's talking about..... check out his awesome vids on youtube if you ever need a visual aid when flashing =D

Yep happens to me as well..... Odin back to stock EC05 again and try a different cable.
If after Odin to stock and rooting you still have problems maybe it is the order you are pushing the buttons. Press and hold camera button first, then add pressing and holding volume down, then add pressing and holding power button, holding all three until the recovery menu comes up.

Is quickboot the answer though.
Because if the phones battery dies, then I might be stuck again seeing it wont boot at all after I power it down.
I did odin it back to default as of now.

I thought maybe that was the issue as well, but I tried that over and over again with no luck at all.
Do you guys think maybe its related to the latest one click cwm method?
Hello! So I'm very new to rooting and roms but I'm very tech savvy.
So here's the situation... I buy a 1 month old s3 from someone and he had a AOKB ROM installed on it. It worked perfectly when I got it but then I decided to revert it to stock and factory settings. I don't know much about aokb ROM but I guess it wouldn't matter since I was just gonna flash the stock ROM on it with Odin. So I turned off the phone and try the recovery boot button combination and it didn't work, it just started normally, I did it several times and suddenly it wouldn't boot anymore. I then try to go into download mode but it wouldn't either, it would just restart and freeze in booting splash screen.
I'm panicking and don't know what to do. How can it possibly brick from resetting and why wouldn't it let me access the recovery/download menu I thought that was standard on all androids no matter what ROM you have installed in it.

Is it dead? No you can't brick from button combo. I'm guessing the battery died. When you charge it you can then try the button combo or boot it up and go into adb and type adb reboot download

The button combo is holding volume down and the home button while powering on for recovery, or Volume up and home for download.
hey im in panic mode guys, i just got my brand new phone, instaleld the OTA update to JB, then i odin the preroot version everythign worked perfectly.
Then i tried a custom rom with CWM, the marshmellow perfection one. It flashed and worked, but I wanted to go back to stock
So I odin flashed back to the preroot JB rom i had used before, and now it it hangs at the Samsung boot logo after reboot.
Odin says Pass and everything.
I also cannot get into any sort of recovery other than download mode.
What can i do to fix this???
Try this....plug charger in....when it completely shutdown you'll see battery charging icon on screen.....press volume up, home and power.....release power when you feel it viberate..... release everything else right after you notice blue text in upper left corner...

Hi
This is my first post. I have had Note 2 for 6 months now and have done a root using Samsung Galaxy Tool kit which worked fine.
Few days ago, I update the phone updated which unrooted the phone so decided to root the phone again last night.
It went through fine and the phone was working. I was able to use all the apps and make calls. This morning after making a call, I put the phone on the desk, after 10 minutes, the phone was dead. I couldn't turn it on.
Battery was fully charged. when I press the power button, there is a red light on top flashing.
I have tried vol up + home button + power but it doesn't work.
I have looked at other forums but no real answer to the problem.
I was going to flash the phone with original stock rom using Odin, not sure if it will.work
Please advice there is any other solution to this.
Thanks

Sounds like sudden death.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
How you will flash ROM? you are able to reboot to download mod?
If yes, try it
Symptoms are highly suggestive of sudden death.
If you are unable to flash ROM, don't do anything and send it to service station.
Well have you taken out the battery yet? If not, please do and leave it out for 1-2 minutes. Then put it back and see if it boots.

no I can't boot the device hence can't flash. you are probably right, "sudden death" as I can't do anything except the red light next to the ear phone flashing every 10 secs.
Yeah that is proximity sensor light and that is classic symptom of sudden death.
Can you tell me you were on which rom last?
I mean you have updated to which rom, bcoz latest rom believed to be fixed for sudden death. And that will be big challenge if you were on ll7 and still it is sudden death.

I wont be able to flash any rom as Galaxy Note 2 tool kit cannot connect to the phone even though all the drivers are installed.
The phone need to be in either recovery mode or need to be on to flash ( unless I am mistaken)
And in what circumstances appear???

Don't worry in sudden complete death (unable to get into Download Mode) they can't figure it out.
Just ask him it was as it is after purchase and it happened suddenly. Do need to even mention you can't boot into recovery or download mode.

I've been looking on multiple other threads for the last few days now but haven't found a fix. I updated my S3 from 4.1.2 to 4.3 through the phone(AT&T recommended update) and it worked for 4 days but was very glitchy. Then it shut off one day with 50% battery and wouldn't turn back on. I tried pulling the battery and turning it on but it would generally fail after it reached the galaxy s3 logo. Can't stay in download mode or recovery mode without it crashing. I sometimes I found that if I leave the battery out for an over 4-5 hours, it can get it to boot and reach my home screen but it soon crashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated since I have been without a phone for about a week. Thank you.
Can you do a factory reset in recovery mode? Not sure if you phone will stay on long enough.

Unfortunately no, the phone doesn't stay on long enough. And I've tried with and without the phone plugged into a charger or my computer but neither really help.
Any warranty left on your phone? If not, you could try flashing a custom recovery in Odin if the phone will stay in download mode, then wipe data, cache from the custom recovery.

No I'm pretty sure the warranty is ended since I've had the phone for about a year and 3 months and don't have any insurance through AT&T. How would I go about flashing a custom recovery? Is there a link to a tutorial you could refer me to? Just in case I could get the phone to stay in download mode long enough. Thanks for all your help by the way. I really appreciate it.
Okay. Download the tar version of Philz Touch Recovery from here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att
Install it using Odin by selecting pda and browsing to where you saved the CWM file. Flash it, go into recovery, and wipe.
Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

The flash worked and now my phone is staying in recovery. It got into recovery mode and did a factory reset. Now I started up and I started setting up my phone (wifi, google account..) but it crashed multiple times during that setup time. I haven't reached the home screen yet. Occasionally it will boot loop once or twice before reaching the setup again......
So I finally got to the home screen and it crashed (after about 7-8 crashes and reboots). Could it be 4.3 or maybe a hardware problem?
Could be either but let's assume it is an OS issue. Did you flash a custom rom?

No I didn't, I don't know of one that I should flash? Recommendations?
Also, my phone was just on for about 8 minutes and was working. I noticed that my power/lock button was extremely touchy and i would barely have to touch(not press it) to lock it. If I press it (like I use to to lock it, it pulls up the power off/options and if I don't do anything about it, it will shut off and restart(boot loop) until i pull the battery and turn it on myself. So I think it might be a problem with the power button being too touchy that it just turns off. Do you know if there is a way to disable the power button?
I run Cyanfox on my brother's S3 and it's pretty stable: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2480007
Yes, the power button could be causing the problem. Sounds like the power connection and/or board may be defective.

Alright I will try to see if I can get that to work. Now the phone is rarely making it to the home screen and if it does, it only stays for at most a minute. Generally it's back to it only getting to the initial Samsung logo.
Is this with the stock ROM?

No need to be rooted. You can just flash it in recovery.

Alright well it worked right off the bat for about 15 minutes and then crashed. Now it is doing the same sort of thing it was before. It will rarely make it to the home screen but typically just crashes before it gets there. It will crash and then only sometimes turn on when I press the power button. Other times I have to pull the battery and occasionally it will boot loop once or twice.
I think the power button is now the issue.
hi!
suddenly my n7100 does reboots again, and again.
on start with the n7100 logo - while charging, the bat icon, it reboots - i can not go even into download mode.
if i disconnect the bat power, and leave it for 1 or 2 days it is working again, a few seconds.
i flashed new rom, wiped cache, and new recovery. sadly: no success. still in a boot loop.
i have looked in the internet and of course in this forum - does anyone know what to do, to get it alive again (well it is, but it is rebooting(((?
is the board broke? or the switch ( it is working as far as i see) - or some ram?
any help would make me glad
tia,

I guess it's not working when charger is connected ? So I understand from your post.?
Also which bootloader are you on? And which rom you flashed?
If you using kitkat notice that the bootloader is better to be the one from the kitkat rom.
Or do you used rom with Ultra saving mode the first time you got those bootloops.

So you're saying your phone reboots by itself as soon as you put the battery inside? Can you get into download mode without pressing the power button just press volume down + home button if download mode opens up that means your power button is messed up (either it's pressed all the time or you need a new power button)
