Weird n7100 bootloop - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i was helping my friend to update his firmware. after doing so the phone is now stuck in a weird bootloop. i had seen my fair share of bootloops but this seems weirder than others. the n7100 logo would loop very quickly (sorta like flash) and keeps doing so. can't enter recovery mode at all, only download mode. plug it to odin and whatever i can throw at it i just got nand write start fail, be it twrp, multiple versions of stock rom. im at the end of my wits, so what should i try next? thank you for any input

What is the Odin error when trying to flash the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com? Tried different USB cables and USB ports?

I kinda have/had the same problem.
N7100 logo would bootloop quiet fast (doesn't get to the point where it should load the rom).
Can't enter recovery bc of that.
Only thing that works is download mode.
After trying to flash newest stock rom (4.4.2) it failed once (I think my cable gets too old...)
Next try it worked without a problem.
Problem persists.
Next step was flashing an older repair firmware (4.1.2) but it failed (I think bc of the 4.4.2 bootloader? IDK)
Then I tried to flash the newest stock again but with the pit file. Flashed without a problem but the problem was still there.
Last step I made was to flash the newest stock with the pit file and nand erase + update bootloader.
Tried it 2 times but it failed.
Now I'm stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Download mode got a red message also: "RPMB: INVALID RPMB DATA"
I don't know what to do now. Please help.
PS: It was a "new" motherboard from aliexpess, it had a chinese version of the stock 4.1.2 if I remember right and was already rooted when I installed it. I wanted to flash the newest 4.4.2 for the new modem and stuff and then upgrade to lineage. :/

Just reflash the same rom, this can happen if the odin flash fails. All you have to do is reflash the same rom, if it fails again then just try another USB cable. And one more thing, make sure that the rom you are flashing is the right one.
Are you flashing the phone on a PC? I'm asking because I think the latest release of Odin is 3.07. Using an outdated version of Odin and/or drivers may have caused of the problem.
Since you're on AT&T running 4.3, you cannot reflash an AT&T ROM because there is no AT&T 4.3 ROM that is flashable via Odin. Do not try to flash any ROM that tries to flash an older bootloader because this will brick your phone.

[Q] Did my phone get SDS? (GT-N7100)

My phone was no longer booting properly anymore and was stuck at the Samsung logo. I tried reflashing DN3 to no avail as it was still stuck on bootloop. Then, I researched a bit on XDA and found that perhaps reflashing stock would do it some good. So I flashed stock on ODIN and it failed like 75% there and now I am left with Samsung's error of death: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again".
Now I can still access download mode and it displays my device model, but I don't want to screw it up by flashing the wrong bootloader or w/e so that's why I'm here. Is there anything I can do at this point or just admit I got screwed by SDS?
By no means SDS, everything is fine :good:
What was your last stock? Try to get newest firmware from sammobile and try again or run Kies to restore your device.

[Q] Firmware Flash failed - New flash won't work

Hello guys.
I got a SM-T310_NA. It was not rooted and everything original.
I tried to root it a few times following this droidviews dot com/root-galaxy-tab-3-8-0-sm-t310-on-kitkat guide.
Odin always said that everything worked and my tablet restarted, I didn't know what the problem was. I had drivers installed and everything.
So then I tried to flash a firmware over Odin, but then something didn't work out and my tablet didn't get the full flash.
Now I get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". I tried to recover it with Kies, it didn't work.
I downloaded the original firmware from sammobile and tried to flash it, it didn't work either. I think I need a 3-part-flash with Odin, but I don't know where to get the datas.
Can you guys help me out?

Hi,
Hi I was given an s3 sprint. It doesn't get past the sprint screen, but when plugged in it goes all the way until played with then it'll reboot. It does however go into download and recovery mode which leads me to believe its a software problem. The phone is not rooted/ fully stock. Could someone walk me through rooting, installing custom recovery and ROM via Odin? Also there seems to be no water damage. Per download mode:: binary-samsung official
System satus-official
Qualcomm secure boot enable
Warranty-0
Bootloader ap swaev-2
PS I already tried Odin but failed at aboot mbn. Now upon booting it reads ... firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again?
Pleas ask in here instead. Also first get the phone working by either flashing it using kies 2.6, or by using odin and flashing this image. Be sure to unzip it first.

Borked Recovery flash, wrong model

I accidentally flashed my Note 8 with a recovery made for a i9105p.
I can get to download mode.
If I try to restart the device I get
"Firmware upgrade encountered
an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies
& try again".
Kies doesn't recognize the device.
ODIN doesn't recognize the device. I think this is a communication
issue though.
Help appreciated.
All the Best,
D. White
Could not turn the unit off so it died overnight.
Surprisingly I re-connected in this afternoon
and ODIN found it. Attempted another flash
with the CORRECT recovery. It failed but re-
initialized the stock one. It's now working,
mostly.
Would love to understand why I can't flash a custom
recovery on this thing. Seems everything I've found
is for the original stock 4.1 version. I'm running 4.2.2
if that makes a difference. ODIN usually FAILS! and
resets stock recovery.
Any ideas?
All the Best,
D. White
Flashed with Terok Nor ROM 4.2.2.
Everthing is great now.
All the Best,
D. White
