Today I was going to update my CM10.2 20131127 to CM11 20131207. They are both official nightlies. I checked the md5 after downloading. So I booted into recovery, backuped, and did a full wipe. Then I tried to use adb sideload to flash the zips. This is the first time I used sideload. I followed all steps on the TeamWin website. After transfering the zip to the device, it started flashing. After a couple seconds, the color of the screen changed and dimmed slowly. I waited a while and then unplugged the device and the battery. Then the device is completely unrespondsive. No bootloader, no download mode, not even responding when I plugged it in. ADB and fastboot shows nothing. Can anyone help me?
P.S. I am using TWRP 2.6.3.2
doing a fastboot of the factory images do nothing? what about the battery? is it charged at least?
Good luck
Charging does nothing. I followed the steps for OMAPFlash. After that I am able to boot it sometimes. The screen will freeze and dim after booting into both android and bootloader. My computers won't recognize it when I boot into bootloader. So flashing is not possible.
So I reset it again using OMAPFlash. I will crash after a second or two. I plugged it in, ran the fastboot devices command before it crashed. Fastboot can recognize the serial number before it crashes. 12 ? or nothing after it crashed. Should I restore it to factory and lock it or just send it to some specialist?
P.S. When I charge it, it shows the battery with thunderbolt icon and crashes.
Its been a long time since I booted my Galaxy Note-II (GT-N7100) as I use an iPhone and Nexus 5 as my daily drivers.
The phone wont boot past the Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 logo. I am able to access the recovery and download mode as well, and I have flashed the latest stock rom from Sammobile using the Odin. The flashing was successful. however the phone doesn't boot past the logo. Also the phone will not power up unless connected to a PC, it wont power up even when connected to a charger and will immediately shut down when the USB cable is disconnected from the PC. I flashed TWRP 3.0.2 Custom Recovery using the Odin and tried installing CM 13 based Rom through the mem card, however the log reads patching image unconditionally and also that "Failed to mount /system" (invalid argument). The phone when restarted into recovery can no longer mount the /system partition. However on flashing the stock rom using Odin, the /system partition is available for mounting. The recovery log also shows MTP enabled, but my PC doesn't detect the phone when in recovery, it only detects the phone in Download mode. I have the Samsung drivers installed. Since the phone is not being detected in recovery I am unable to use the adb.
I am out of ideas and request your suggestions other than approaching a service centre.
If I can somehow access the phone via ADB, I might be able to check the memory partitions for corrupt units, and possibly create a custom PIT file to repartition and suit the available memory units.
Try this: open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Connect phone and flash stock ROM. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery for a few seconds, replace battery, immediately boot the phone into recovery mode, factory wipe, and boot the phone.
Could the battery be defective or dead?

Thanks a lot.
Tried your method and finally the phone has booted into the OS.
Had to replace the battery with another spare one in the process.
However the phone is still not being detected by the PC unless it's in Fastboot/ Download mode.
When connected to a computer, does anything appear on the phone screen? If you're using Windows, nothing new appears in device manager?
sorry to jump in this thread but i am having a similar problem
my completely stock tmobile note 2 is stuck on the samsung logo
i have never flashed it or done anything to it
my phone was working really slow, freezing up and battery draining fast
so i did a hard reset and it fixed the problem of running slow and freezing up for a week or so but battery drained fast
so i bought a replacement battery from ebay and installed it and the next day i restarted my phone and it froze on the samsung logo
i tried turning it off and on and still the same thing
any suggestions or should i start a new thread?
fyi i am a noob
Hello, I have a p605 with TWRP and the latest LineageOS installed.
Suddenly the tablet has an odd behaviour about charging: it charges for, say, 6-7% then it stops charging until I unplug it and plug it back... then it starts charging for another 6-7% (sometimes even 10-12%) and so on until reaching 100%.
If I charge it with screen turned on, the "charging interval" may reach 20% or 30%, but then it stops as well, forcing me to repeat the unplug-plug trick.
Besides that, the tablet isn't recognized by the pc, neither for data transfer, nor in download mode by odin (usb device not recognized in both cases). Furthermore, USB OTG isn't working at all.
I suspect it could be a hardware issue (bad usb connector).
Apart from this, the tablet is working perfectly, but I wold like to reinstall Stock 5.1.1 firmware, which apparently I can, not having access to the tablet via USB in Odin.
Is there any safe way to flash the firmware in TWRP? or does exist some modified stock-based firmware flashable via TWRP?
Thanks a lot
That is weird, I had lots of issues with Lineage OS build so I kicked it to the kerb and went with AOSP.
I too had issues charging on the Lineage ROM, I had to charge whilst on otherwise it wouldn't charge whilst off. I would try another usb cable and or another pc. Make sure Odin is version 3 and above and try flashing to the stock 5.1.1 again.
You could try going into TWRP and advanced wiping all traces of the internal storage and try download mode again or add the files on a SD card and flash from external storage in TWRP, it can be done that is how I done mine but these were custom ROMS not stock ROM's, best of luck.
try using another operating system in your PC.....
Try using windows xp(32-bit) in your pc it will absolutely show your device in odin.
follow these steps:-
1) power off your phone
2) press and hold (power button+home button+volume up button).
3) you will get into odin mode prompting you to press volume up button to continue and volume down button to reboot.
4) press volume up button.
5) open odin from your windows xp pc and connect your device to pc.
6) HOLA!!!! it will show that your device is added!!.

If a different PC OS or USB connecting cable don't help, search Amazon for "Charging Port Dock connector For SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 10.1 P600 P605 2014". I'll admit I haven't installed it yet but am planning to when I replace the original battery once charge hold is low enough. I got the "TheCoolCube" version - there are installation tips in the reviews. I figured the USB port is probably one of the higher wear/stress areas of these older tablets & it's easy to access if replacing battery.
Good luck
So Here are the steps
1. My bootloader got unlocked.
2. I Installed factory preloader and lk images.
3. Rebooted to Fasboot and flashed TWRP 3.3.1-0924 by wzsx150 (the only Android 9 recovery that didn't get removed immediately after flashing and rebooting for 1st time to get to recovery).
4. Formatted Data, Closed AVB 2.0 and Signed TWRP.
5. Rebooted to Fastboot and flashed stock EEA Android 9 (11.0.3.0) from Global (11.0.6.0) and reflashed factory preloader and lk.
6. Rebooted to recovery, Formatted Data, Closed AVB 2.0 and Signed TWRP.
7. Using ADB sideload from Twrp Installed EEA Android 10 (11.0.2.0).
8. Rebooted into fastboot Installed Updated TWRP-3.3.1-1210 (by wzsx150).
9. Rebooted into fastboot and flashed misc.bin from same zip (according to bat file inside it should get flashed after recovery but I forgot.)
10. BRICKED. Booted to Redmi logo for 3 seconds and rebooted infinitely.
This type of brick in 4pda.ru according to google translate can be mitigated by letting battery drain and then enter DA download mode using SP Flash Tool.
I've Used the tool several time so I thought Okay no big deal.
So This is what I tried:
11. Pressed download button
12. Connected USB Cable to phone.
13. Device pauses a second (Probably for SP Flash Tool to respond) then doesn't enter DA (Unlike previous times) and screen brighten for a second or two but then turns off and repeats this process forever.
I've been using Drivers provided by Microsoft Update Catalogue but tried all the drivers on 'MTK Usb Driver v1.0.8' and 'Mediatek_Driver_Auto_Installer_1.1352.00' after disabling Driver Signature Enforcement. but even though drivers are installed they don't get loaded and after force installing them in add legacy drivers they are their but have yellow triangles and their Location lists as 'Unknown' and status as 'This device cannot start. (Code 10)'. Tried Removing them after adding them as a site suggested but that didn't work either.
I learned the hard way to never mismatch partitions with this phone. I thought having the factory preloader and lk1/2 would protect me but no.
When you say brick, do you mean you have a completely black screen with only the notification LED turning on when you plug it in?
Grab a bootable Linux image and use that on a USB stick to eliminate the driver issue you're having. Interface is identical

So I tried Ubuntu. Problem isn't from Drivers. It's because my Windows or linux didn't ever got a chance to enter fastboot so they can load preload drivers properly.
In Windows, Mediatek USB Port is the only driver that get loaded, and that for only an instant then it disappears in Device Manager.
In Linux according to this Tutorial everything is fine but SP Flash Tool gives me a " ERROR : STATUS_ERR (-1073676287) , MSP ERROE CODE : 0x00. "
Based on this chinese site I should find my Vendor Id and Product Id specific to my system (or is it my chipset?) and then change some files but how do I get linux to recognize mediatek usb device first when It needs to enter fastboot for that to happen.
Is there any way to manually add it?
EDIT: So After some reading I realized that I have to get my phone to fastboot first to get the drivers recognized. In windows as far as I know there is no way for manually adding 'Location' to Drivers. what about Linux?
I think you're talking about a soft-brick and I'm talking about a hard-brick. If you can get to fastboot, it's a soft-brick.
Hold the volume down and power buttons simultaneously for 1min and see if your screen changes.
Don't worry about the Linux drivers, if your phone is in the correct mode, it'll work.
I don't think it's a Soft-Brick (unless Hard-Brick means even the display not turning up at all), Holding them for a minute with battery charged doesn't do anything. As soon as it boots back up it starts getting caught in Booting until Redmi logo and staying there for 2-3 seconds then reboots. I tried to hold Volume Down + Power for 3 minutes while caught in this bootloop but no fastboot. I'll retry when battery discharges again. first without usb cable attached then with.
Thanks for taking time to work this through with me. Nowadays with all service centers being closed it's really a nightmare to have something you need on internal storage and not being able to access it. First thing I'll do after this is to buy a 128GB SD card to store the important stuff.
By the way should I just use the Live Ubuntu or Install it to see if the problem is from being a live image.
When I hard bricked my phone, I didn't have anything but that white led when I plugged it in. If you have the redmi logo, should mean there is hope. I've only ever entered DA mode when I had a hard brick.
This might be one of those situations where letting the battery drop to 0% would allow you to access fastboot. MiFlash only works in fastboot and DA mode I believe. What happens when you hold volume up and power for a minute while plugged in to your computer? Run "ADB devices" to start the adb service first
I doubt it would make a difference live to installed, but it's your call if you have the time.
With Phone in Bootloop mode Holding Either Vl+ and Power or Vl- and Power doesn't make a difference.
With Phone Off and USB detached It's the same.
With USB attached Vol+ and Power for over 3 Mins result in Device Manger listing 'Mediatek USB Port' for as long as display remains 'dark but bright' (for 2-3 seconds then shuts down and turns itself back on). removing it when phone suddenly shuts down. when USB is detached phone remains shutdown.
With USB attached Vol- and Power for over 3 Mins result in Phone's Display Brightening for 5 seconds no device listing in Device Manager nor entering fastboot or being recognized by adb or fastboot (set on a permanent re-checking by a cmd script). then phone shuts itself down and back on.
LED situation:
With Vol+ and Power with USB attached LED when phone is Off is Fullbright. When Display Brightens It turns off.
With Vol- and Power with USB attached LED when Phone is Off Blinks Once Fullbright and then remains Semi-bright whether phone is on until shutdown and the Blinks Fullbright again.
I Live in Iran and with sanctions there is no way to pay anyone overseas. Unless they're willing to risk accepting cryptocurrencies from an Iranian , my only chance if I can't work it out is to wait till unofficial service centers here open.
Your phone only being detected for 5 seconds is supposed to happen. It checks for a signal from so flash and if it doesn't see it, drops off.
I'm not sure paying someone to remotely flash your phone will work if SP Flash isn't even trying or detecting your phone. With mine, it would detect and try to flash (red bar sitting at 100%) before throwing an error.
Try letting your battery die, if that doesn't work, maybe the test point mod will work. Otherwise, I think your only option is a service center.
Hello there,
Last Tuesday (January the 17th), my Note 8 Pro rebooted while I was typing on it, and since then, it just bootloops.
I see the "Redmi" logo for 5 secondes, then the screen goes dark, the smartphone vibrates and here we go again.
Even Fastboot mode is not working: I can get access to the mode, but it only last for about 10 seconds, then blackscreen, vibration, Redmi logo.
No matter what I do (even this tutorial to unlock the Booloader by MTKClient), the smartphone keeps rebooting.
I'm desperate, since this device holds too many unsaved memories and my 2FA authentication app...
I even tried to change the battery (I've read that a dead battery, with not enough power, could lead to such behavoir), but no luck...
Another fact: when I have the phone connected on my laptop, all of my USB devices are disconnected for 1-2 seconds at each reboot.
Any help is very welcome

Is it still possible to back up all your data at this point?
Have you tried adb pull your userdata partition?

They can’t boot….adb only works when booting or booted, and if it bootloops, they won’t have time to pull their data.

Bootloader locked or unlocked?
Even if you cannot boot into system, but if
- USB debugging is enabled, and operational;
- a cable works;
- you can boot into recovery.
Adb shall work in recovery.
Hope it helps.

Unfortunately, USB debugging was not enabled. I stopped developing for Android quite a while back now, and I don't turn on USB debugging anymore.
@Arealhooman My bootloader is locked... I tried unlocking it with MTKClient, but no success since the phone reboots during the process.

This helped a lot actually!
It seems that the power button got faulty and got constantly pressed, making the phone constantly hard-rebooting itself.
I have a piece of paper preventing the buttons from contacting the motherboard, and the phone stopped rebooting when charging!
Ingenious method. Glad you solved the issue.
I enabled USB debugging to be able to reboot into fastboot / bootloader without the buttons (since my piece or paper prevents all the button from working xD)

Only custom. Stock doesn’t support it.
Bro first check if your power button is working fine, if it is being pressed by any hardware issue it can happen, and when you fastboot try flashing recovery within that time fastboot remains.
