if you can get into the recovery screen or bootloader it is not bricked and since you said all you got to the android screen you are just bootlooping. try to wipe, run fix file extensions, reflash rom, hopefully that will fix the bootloop. if not try to flash jf1.51 since it does not do an auto apps2sd. at least from there you can sleep knowing your phone is usable then when you have time you can re-partition your sdcard and go back to cyanogen's rom

ive run file extensions and it saids... error checkin filesystems! run e2fsck manualy in console? is that what I should do?
ive run the file extension run the e2fsk in console, wipin, reflashin and it still turned into a black screen when I get to the blue android flashin logo...
now ive remove the sd card from the phone and tried turned it on and when i got to the android screen it , the phone turned off and i think IAM now bricked since I cant turn it back on... wow
if the redlight still appear does that means theres still hope???
okay tried camera and red button and it worked but said battery charge to low so I guess it was just runnin out of battery..ill get back to it once it charged enough.
please someone take time to help me thank you...

anyone have any idea on how to solve this problem???

try to either repartition your sdcard. or flash JF 1.51 because it doesn't require any partitions then you will have a phone while you can partition your card for cyanogen's rom

so if I change teh Sd card you think it will work?
cause Im having an HARD time partitining my sd card it seem like its my stickin point in allthose processing...

you could try

phone semi bricked

ok the phone is not bricked an i know there is only one way to brick a hero blah blah blah. but i have psfmod recovery flashed to my phone and i was trying to do the firats mtd partition thing. so i did everything it said and when it came time to do adb shell,reboot recovery it wouldnt work. so after about 5 minutes i realized that the computer wasnt recognizing my phone. i guess cause of the psfmod recovery. and i had already wiped everything. so i wiped everything again and flash zenaraia rom back on. but after rebooting it just stays at the white HTC screen. waited for an hour. i tried wiping and reflashing like 20 times. and i cant mount the sdcard to put another rom on there since the computer wont recognize my phone. anybody following me? lol any suggestions?

It seems like you might need to RUU... have you tried doing that?

Haha I came here just to possibly rip on the OP when I read the title but saw you already mentioned it :/ So you put it in your thread title anyway?
As the guy said before, try running the RUU - should be able to be done in the bootloader.
OR if you can boot up into a rom (wasn't too sure judging by what I read) just get a Dropbox, throw a rom.zip on it, get the app for the phone, sync and bam. New rom.zip on your phone to try.
If neither one can be done, you need to find another phone, camera, sdmount...something so you can add files to it. Even if its just a HERCIMG.zip to update via the bootloader (look up s-off if you don't know what that's about)
Good luck

thanks for your help guys. i'll try the RUU but i dont think it will work since my computer wont recognize my phone while in bootloader. im pretty sure it's just the psfmod recovery that f'd everything up. and yeah i cant boot into a rom. im hoping that somehow my rom.zip just got messed up somehow.

ok yeah RUU didnt work. my only other option is to find a laptop or something

Try getting a live Fedora or Ubuntu linux cd (or any flavor for that matter) and booting it up.

what would that do? i went back to the psfreedom thread and i saw that adb and usb mass storage does not work with that recovery. i should have read better lol

Same thing happenned to my evo..i kept tryna flash the wrong kernel wit nym rom..all i did wuss flashed the rom without da kernel and walla...it started workin again..thnx god..idk if dis would help but it worked for me..

ok i got it to work. i was talking to nfinitfx45 on google talk and he said to boot up in fastboot and then plug the phone into the computer and then i can run the RUU and it worked like a charm now i just gotta re root :/

yay !!! im just quoting this because this bears repeating...
1 - if recovery is not working, go into fastboot to get pc to recognize phone...
2 - if roms (recovery or whatnot) are not working, reflash to RUU to start fresh...
(and adding)
3 - once youve started fresh, then flash a working-recovery and go back to your latest [nandroid] backup...
(you always have a good backup to use, right ?) h.

I think all you had to do was flash a different recovery from terminal if you were able to boot up the reason y I didn't use that mod was the fact you can't use adb wen u flash that recovery in that post I think the op posted the link to the old recovery that allowed you to use adb good luck
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™

that was the problem. i couldnt boot to a rom cause i had erased all data and my rom.zip had got corrupted somehow. and with that recovery you couldnt do adb or usb mass storage. so i started freaking out lol. thanks again nfinite

So I'm having a similar problem. I can use ADB to reboot my phone, so I know the computer is talking to the phone but it wont get past the HTC screen. I was trying the firerat mod and made it to the reboot as well but it never came back up. If I reboot to recovery its a white screen with the android on the skate board but the only option is to clear user data and then reboot again which goes back to the HTC screen. I tried the RUU but it wont install because it says my phone doesnt have enough battery (it's been charging on and off for the better part of 24 hours now.) Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.

first, can you use usb mass storage? if so the you need to put a rom on your sdcard and flash it and see if that fixed it. and if you want to RUU. then pull the battery and put it back. then hold volume up and power at the same time. then hit the button it says to to go into fastboot. you should already be in fastboot though. and then while in fastboot plug the phone into the pc and you may have to install drivers. and then you can run the RUU.

I'm not exactly sure what happened but i got it working. I ran "adb reboot-bootloader" from the menu that brought up i was able to get back to the clockwork recovery, restore my nandroid and finish the mod. all appears to have worked beautifully except that last night my battery went completely dead over night (for the first time) although i'm doubting that that has anything to do with any of this

Urgent [Q] I may have screwed up badly..

Ok, I might have bricked my phone. I had the cm7/Aosp gingerbread mod. But I didn't have apps2sd enabled. So I downloaded rom manager, flashed the newest version of clockwork recovery, and rebooted to recovery, where I partitioned for apps 2 sd with a size of 256 mb and 128mb swap-space . I then factory reset, and formatted Boot, cache, data, everything. After that I went to mount as Usb, and I copied the Rom, gapps, and a battery icon mod back to the phone. But the phone didn't recognize any installable packages on my sd after I un-mounted, so I shut my Hero off in hopes it would when I turned it back on p) . When I turned the Hero on, it went to a Usb-fastboot mode, and I couldn't get it to turn off so I removed the battery from the back of my phone, then put it back in. Now my phone won't turn on at all. Does anybody know what I did wrong and can I fix it?

Thanks Spleef, but I was wondering how to get my phone to turn on again as it seems to have just quit on me

Whenever a ROM doesn't boot up properly, boot loop, freeze, etc, I usually have to pull the battery out. Then when I restart it, I hold down the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time to boot into recovery. Try doing this while the phone is plugged into your wall charger and see if that helps.
Also, I'm not 100% on how to get the apps2sd working, but I had a question about which version of Clockwork you were using. I thought with CM7 Gingerbread we were supposed to use version 3.0.0.5 of Clockwork. I know there is a new version, 2.5.1.7 I think, that shows up in ROM Manager. Unless something has changed, I don't think it will work with CM7.
I'm still pretty new to this, so hopefully someone else will chime in here for you.
Good luck.

i did the same thing one time you gota wipe everything again i mean even the sd card and extthen take ur sd card adapter and put rom gapps any extras on ur sd card then put it back into ur phone then flash it in the order of rom,gapps,extras,and kernel last if u are using one hope this helps
p.s this was using CWM 2.5.0.1

This just happened to me the other day, except I was trying to use firerats partition mod. See if it will boot by holding volume down or up while powering on. It worked for me, but I had to ruu back to stock and had reroot with z4root.apk

Ok anytime you do a factory reset from the phone you most likely will loose root. And leave your phone charged over night it should come back on. And your swap is to big IMO. For apps to sd try a 28 or 32 swap and 512 partition. Then upgrade you ext from ext2 to ext3. And you were supposed to wipe everything before you flashed the apps to sd file. As in wipe everything data,cache,dev-cache and ext. Then flash your rom,google-apps,and kernel last. Boot up sign into your account and let it sync. Then boot to recovery and flash the apps2sd zip. After that you should install your apps. And I think you should ruu and reroot. Sounds like you lost root when you did factory reset from with in the phone. Just my opinion. Hope it helps good luck.

Stuck on Boot Screen

Hi guys. Yesterday night I was installing a few new apps but the seemed to be stuck installing forever. So I decided to reboot. However, after the reboot, it never goes past the second boot screen.
I know I can just flash to another rom but is there a way to save my data in the instance? I can still get into recovery mode if that helps. Thanks

I've read you can hook up to your pc and mount your sdcard from cwm. Never tried it but if it works you can save your data that way then maybe a master clear/cache or dalvik wipe will help.

You can mount USB in recovery and get all your stuff off of your SD that way. You can also nandroid your current ROM in CWM and re-flash it, then restore from backup. As far as saving texts and all that, Idk if you can, but I'm sure someone else does.
Also, you could try clearing dalvik, cache, and then running the kernel cleaning script. It's gotten me out of a few binds before. It might help you to where you wouldn't have to flash again.

Soft brick help. Twrp installed Android won't boot custom rom

I didn't want to make a new thread. But I've searched high and low.. And nothing has been answered. So here's my story. I have a note 4 sm-n910T. When I rooted the phone everything was fine and good. I then decided to give it to a family member. I flashed it back to stock.. All was fine for a while but it started acting up. Like randomly turning off and not responding to a charge or any commands to turn on into other modes... I had flashed stock again. All was good.. Till now. My madre and received a Ota update, downloaded and installed the update. When I pressed ok to reboot new update. The phone never came back on. So I went through all the fun stuff. I tried kies.. Kies days unsupported device connected.. There is however talk between the two because it's pushed errors onto my phone as well as has tried to download the stock rom. But every which way I've tried it fails. Next. I decided to go for custom roms... And flash cf-chainfire auto root. Then twrp.. Then install supersu.. Then a rom from twrp. Now here's where it gets interesting. Nothing would pass odin if I had auto-reboot and f.reset time checked.. Any and all roms.. Files..etc would only pass with auto reboot checked and f. Reset time unchecked. At first everything seemed ok.. I was able to actually get cm 12.1 installed as well as gapps. But only the one time.. Which you'd think was good enough. But here's what has happened and what I can't seem to fix. The phone yesterday after having everything installed and sitting at home untouched.. I came home clicked the home button.. And it came on.. I scrolled a few pages.. Thought.. OK cool.. Let's get madres Sim card in and call it a night.. When I turned the phone over.. (didn't even take our the battery) tried to see if I could fit the sim in.. Which didn't.. I then turned the phone back around just Cuz I wanted to make sure it was awake.. The screen was black.. I figured it was in sleep mode.. So I hit the home button.. No response.. I hit the power button.. No response. .. The phone had turned itself off.. And when I tried to turn it on it wouldn't. Now mind you the phone has these weird phases where when I try to install or flash a rom and it fails.. And I'm forced to remote battery.. A good portion of the time it won't turn back on.. Sometimes it can be instant.. Others.. A few mins.. Sometimes even longer for it to respond.. Right now I have been accessing twrp.. Wiping all data.. Davik...cache.. System.. One by one.. Then installing a rom.. I go for a reboot.. And I get a black screen. I need help.. I'm running out of ideas and basically just fishing random idea attempts. I'm no scared to brick it.. So all ideas are welcome. Plz. Thank you.

Also how important is f. Reset time? I don't totally understand it. Next.. What about having the roms and files I flash on internal memory instead of sd. I'm not sure if I can access the Internal storage. But if I can does that help. Also I cannot access Android at all.. I can either access download mode or recovery. I have been using an external battery charger to charge my battery as well. Due to it doesn't read the charge... But! It did read a charge just fine when I had cm 12.1 working.

I would suggest:
1) In twrp wipe system, both the cache's and also data
2) use ODIN to install the stock Note 4 ROM
see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...uide-odin-to-stock-unrooted-firmware-t2957156
3) When it is finished unplug the usb from your computer as the phone is rebooting
NOTE you might want to uncheck Reactivation Lock in Settings - Security first

Answering question one.. I do that already. I wipe everything one by one except sd... Answering question two. I have tried that already and odin fails.. However I'm sure if I tried to flash the rom and didn't check f. Reset time it might work. But as for flash stock.. I have tried several times.. I can't say one error or another I'd a cause because I get a different one each time.. What is the purpose of f. Reset time in Odin? I've searched it and to me the explanation didn't make since.

Reactivation is unlocked. Also I wouldn't be able to change any setting in the phone.. As the phone does not boot into Android. I was just lucky enough to have usb debugging active before this all happened

I am not sure what that is for
But every time I have done a flash it works if you use the steps I had there. (Not really questions)
Sorry I do not have anymore ideas.

Are you booting your phone into download mode before you use ODIN?
(I know it's proly a dumb question but just in case)

Yes I am in download mode when using odin.

Just now I did another full wipe and wipe of cache, davik, system, internal memory and had a successful install of cm12. 1 with gapps.. Everything installed.. Clicked reboot and the phone never came back on. I will try your idea next. I have not tried an idea where I use twrp to wipe everything and reboot into download then do stock rom via odin. If the phone does boot into download from twrp recovery I will try this one time with auto reboot and f. Reset time checked.. If it fails I will try it again with f. Reset time unchecked. I am currently not by my laptop to try this so it will have to be much later in the day.

To boot into download mode: Power off Note 4, hit all 3 of these at the same time until it wakes and vibrates - Power Button, Home Button and Volume Down

I know how to do that lol. I know I'm a junior member. But I'm somewhat intermediate. So cm12. 1 has booted.. However it didn't from a reboot of a flash.. I just took a while shot.. And powered the phone on.. And it booted.. I'm pretty sure in going to run into the problem again.

OK - Well you never know!
I am only a senior member 'cause I am older than Dirt!

Lol. I'm oldish. And trust me this lucky catch I got.. Is temporarily. There is still boot issues. I fear when the phone goes off or is turned off that it won't come on. I do not have a sim card in the phone at the moment which means I can download helpful apps. Like supersu. .. But so far I was able to check settings and get what I can prepared. Also if like to keep this thread open as a log or research tool.

Alright so I like the rom sit most the day.. With minimal to no use.. Most of the day it was fine.. At one point I took a picture and it did as it should.. I cleared all open tabs.. Took another picture and I got a error saying camera wasn't connected.. Finally the phone froze up and rebooted.. And the Camera worked.. Gave it another rest.. Came back to it checked the camera and it was fine.. I put it away for like 10mins then decided to check recording. When I did the phone was not responding to turning back on from sleep mode. Now for as long as I can remember even before this initial issue started.. I was having thr same problems with the phone not coming back on from when in sleep mode.. I dunno what the cause is or hoe to approach it to fix it.

First attempt was to put it to a charger... Registered no charge.. So I removed the battery.. Gave it a few mins.. Pushed down power button.. No response. Something is off with the boot menu.. Like the boot img. File

And finally it's back on.. Normal boot.. I didn't boot from download menu or recovery.. But in all honesty I'm 100% sure this will just happen again.. It seems to happen when I put the phone in the charger.. Then take it out and play with it.. For now in going to let it sit till the battery is in caution. Then charge it. I still have not added the Sim and loaded apps.. I feel that will be a overload of cpu and will most certainly freeze up and crash the phone

Ok, so up to date now.. Here's what's going on. The phone struggles to reboot from any on screen commands.. Like if I'm in Android.. And hold power.. Click reboot.. Then say like recovery.. Or anywhere.. It just turns off... If I also do this in twrp.. Say like install a rom or supersu.. It won't reboot... But! After it turns off.. And I wait a while and power it back on.. The file.. Rom etc was installed. So I do now have supersu installed and busybox. But the issue remains..which is a unstable OS.. Nothing to do with it being custom os.. But there is something wrong with the booting process.. What can I download if any apks.. Or files to help this?

Might be stupid I know, but try wiping clean your SD card (back up a copy on your pc first) as well when you factory wipe and make sure that after that, you only add the files you need for recovery. Start up the phone after reset. To get a backup, if you're synced through google, you'll get everything back. If not, only copy your backup from titanium back into your SD card.
I went through a very similar situation last week. Long story short, it seemed the SD card had copied files which would interfere with the system.
Curious, did it happen after marshmallow update?
And did you try to downgrade back to previous lollipop version?

I assume it was Marsh that I was trying to Ota too. I was unable to boot successfully after that first try, so I honestly don't know.. I'm going to try your SD card idea. .. But once all that's done. Are you wanting me to redo a full rom install like through and wipe system, Davik etc etx? Or like wipe everything and start from like odin installing a recovery and so forth?

I ask these questions because.. What if I was to just take the sd card. And format the whole thing.. And out it back into the phone? I mean I might try that first then the other option.

Well even if you format and you put the SD card back in with all previous files, same might happen.
When you format, just wipe all. Then if you want to downgrade, you need to have the previous version bootloader and baseband FIRST prior to putting the firmware ROM.
A simple (restore) wipe would just keep you at current version. And you can't easily downgrade the easy way from marsh to lollipop. Believe me, I learned the hard way
