[SOLVED] Help!!! BootLoop and no CWM - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
I really hope someone can help me!
I've searched the forums and can't find anyone else with my problem.
I flashed ICS stunner and that was working fine.
Then I tried LiquidSmooth and eventually got that working fine.
Then I tried to go back to ICS Stunner and this is where my problems start.
I had some failed flashes with CWM and I think I've messed up the kernel.
I tried to sort this out by flashing back to pre-rooted GB rom so I could reinstall CF Kernel.
The flash in Odin appears to complete successfully, but afterwards phone just goes into bootloop at Samsung boot animation.
As I flashed back to pre-rooted stock rom I don't have recovery.
As far as I can find, to install a kernel I will need to either boot into android (which I can't due to bootloop) or install through CWM (which I can't as no longer have CWM)
Can anyone help?

Try factory reset from stock recovery.

Turn off your phone, press and hold the three following buttons together for more than 10 seconds: Volume up button + Home button + Power button
That is if you are having bootloops after flashing Gingerbread using PC Odin coming from ICS

Sorry, I know this post is really old, i have the exact same issue. I dont have a home button so what can i use instead of that? also when it try to boot into recovery it just shows the open android logo.

You do not have the same issue because here nobody spoke of a missing home button.
So: What do you mean? Your home button is broken? Or you do have a device without home button?
After this is clear we can start to analyze your problem.

I have a device without a home button so im not sure how to get into recovery without it.

A Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 without a home button? hmmmmm, hmmmmm, hmmmmm. Mohan chachu can you share some Pictures of it please?

Unbelievable. May be you don't know what is home button or your phone is not n7000

Unable to reboot in download mode

I find my newly purchased tab 8.9 very laggy with the stock TouchWiz
Before returning it I wanted ti try the Overcome rom to see if it can get any smoother.
I carefully followed there instructions but I am unable to go past the downloading droid. once I validate with the right button volume, the tablet simply reboots.
Does anyone else have this issue?

Let me get this right: you sucessfully flashed Overcome, and want to ODIN but when you try to get in Download Mode, it reboots, is that it? If so, that's the first time I've heard this issue. How are you trying to enter Download Mode?

I see. The Overcome thread also has the CWM Recovery as a .zip file which is flashable through Stock Recovery (same procedure as flashing Root). You just put the file in your internal SDcard and flash away. If you still have doubts, read a little bit here, as I'm sure that will clear any doubts you might have.

Yes I have done that and I get to the menu with the droid blinking with "downloading" written under it. The issues is when I validate instead of showing the dowload menue it simply reboots...

Don't expect perfection from a port, ever (port = a ROM that's not native to the device). The motley kernel, along with UV can help you in the battery department.

Sorry to comeback to it but after having flashed a couple or ROM with CWM I want to come back to the stock rom using ODIN and I cannot enter the dowload menu.
My system right now is a stock ROM us retail P7310UEKHA flashed with CWM and CWM and I want to install a 3.2 stock ROM using ODIN.
The way I try to access the download menu is
1. Turn off the tab
2. wait 30 sec
3. restart with the down volume pressed
4. when the reaching the menu between recovery and dowloading. Select dowloading with the down volume button and validate with the up volume button.
Result: a black screen for 3 seconds and then the tab reboots

A corrupt bootloader that may be. Reflash KHA (CWM version alterbridge posted) to see if it solves it.

Thanks lupu666ro. I've tried installing stock Rom with CMW but nothing works. I have found very sparse info about nvflash. It looks like the solution but I'm a bit wary about tring this without a instructions. Could give me more info or point me to a tutorial
Thanks!
Still no luck...
So I have tried reflashing the stock US retail ROM and ran the EULA3 OTA update over it. I can't seem to figure this out.
The OTA update entered the download mode for a few seconds during the update so I am wondering if I don't simply have a locked bootloader.
I have made a video to show the problem: http://youtu.be/b09-x31ldbs

On the download warning screen you are hitting volume down, not up. Volume up is the button closest to the headphone jack..

Yes sorry, but i can't enter on it
Just the download mode its working ...
What is my solution ?
I just flashed the same kernel with no issues
Try again pressing Power button+VolumeUp+Home button and do not let go of them even when you see the Galaxy Note screen, keep holding and hopefully you'll end up in recovery
Same problem, i've waited 3 mins but nothing, always stuck on GalaxyNote screen ...

I too flashed the latest ICS Stunner and then got stuck at the bootscreen.
Dumb as it may sound, the following solution worked for me -
If you are stuck at the bootscreen and unable to enter the recovery/download mode, it is not the wrong keys you are pressing, but the wrong order in which you are pressing them.
When stuck, start by pressing the Home Key first followed by Volume Up/Down and then the Power Key.
Try twice or thrice again if it doesn't work. I realized that somehow timing is important here.
According to the latest release of Stunner, you don't need to flash the repack. But there have been some reports of users not getting a full root. Obviously they must be doing something wrong since the devs have surely tested it thoroughly.
Still, to ensure 100% success, you can start by rebooting into download mode, flash ICS LP1 repack, flash the Stunner ROM and then preferably the just released LP6 by Chainfire too. This has worked for me and several others.
Hope it helps. Don't forget to thank all the devs who built these!

Phone always boots in recovery

I was trying to restore my phone to previous state using Rom Manager. Phone restarted in recovery mode, formatted the boot partition and failed to restore. I applied existing of CWM ROM update.zip and snce then my phone restarts in Recovery mode everytime.
I tried one click restore using ODIN, Heimdall nothing worked. recreated the partitions wiped everything, loaded stock ROM but still the phone boots up in recovery mode.
Please suggest some pointers on how to troubleshoot this problem.

do you mean the one click for installing stock rom or something else?
I had the same problem a few days ago couldn't figure it Out. searched and searched for the right image
Files for my Nexsus S. I ended up wiping everything and flashed all the image files with TRWP cause CWR wouldn't work
for the stock ICS and and it worked fine. Now I'm running the 4.1.1 jellybean it sweet.Hope this helps.

Hmmm... i've heard of cases where the power button on the captivate refuses to be 'unpressed' which makes it boots up just by plugging in the battery,
Maybe it's like that with your volume buttons?
Does it feels a little bit weird like it doesn't click when you press it?

Thats a good point...
The buttons seem to be normal. I tried keytest and the results look fine
Volume Up : 115
Volume Down : 114
Power : 116
Menu : 139
Home : 102
Search : 217
Back : 158
Moreover I can access recovery and flash any ROM that I have on SDCard. Funny part whenever I flash a new ROM I see a new recovery
Do you know of anyway use ADB without booting phone and putting it in debugging mode?
Thanks for your inputs.
Update: Issue is resolved
I'm not sure on exactly what worked. Using System Corps Recovery, I changed all the partitions to ext4. Made some random changes to toggles during boot. Restarted in download mode and flashed a one click stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
it booted in recovery, then clicked on Flash Bootloader in one click and restarted the phone in download mode and flashed it again with the same ROM.
Thats it. I feel that Bootloader did the trick, but I had it flashed earlier as well.
Thanks irfarf & Sammyazel for your inputs on this.

congrats!!
i do also think that it was the boot loader is the problem here
i had a few problem with my friends cappy won't go into download mode and whenever it boots up, it shows a bunch of random colors than a boot image. turns out that the last bootloader flash wasn't done correctly or something.
Confirmed - the problem is with the bootloader. Once I flashed an original firmware from Samsung, I was then able to install CWM and any ROM I wish after that. Not sure what caused the problem, but this was the solution in my case. Thanks to everyone who pointed me in the right direction!!!

Try running the keytest from recovery mode to ensure all the keys are working fine.
In my case it was corrupt bootloader that caused this issue. you can try flashing stock ROM with bootloaders to fix it.
All the best!

What exactly did you do to get to this point?
You can find Odin KK4 with bootloaders here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
You will need to flash corn kernel with Odin 1.85 afterwards if you wanna flash a custom ROM.

ROM that automatically does a full-wipe!

Hey guys so I did some stupid things and ended up where I am currently...its a long story so please bear with me...
Due to some water getting into my phone sometime ago my home button broke(hence cant go into recovery, without adb)...So I started using Button Savior and navigation bar in CWM ROM's...then I switched recently to Ultimate Rom...I was running Ultimate ROM (LSZ_JB_4.1.2_v5.2) and it was all well ...until I pulled out the battery while the phone was on and it got stuck in a boot loop...
This bootloop went to the samsung animation for 2 boots(I was not at home then since I could have gone into recovery with adb right then and there)...but when I got home the boot just got stuck at the splash sreen(black and white "Samsung Galaxy Note) and adb couldnt detect a device(adb reboot recovery couldnt be run)
Now as I couldnt go into recovery by any other method,so I went into download mode and flashed GB+Prerooted+CWM stock(Dr. Ketan's thread) and it still wont go into the boot animation section so that adb could be used to boot into recovery...
Basically I want something like this right now:
A ROM that would do an auto wipe after flashing using Odin.
like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26484341
As I'm sure a full wipe is all that is needed to solve this issue.
But I can't access recovery because my home button is broke
Could someone kindly point me to a ROM that would do this?

[Q] Bootloop, can't access recovery

Hi everybody,
I have a Galaxy mini 2 non nfc model (GT-S6500D) and i've been using CM11 and CWM 6.0.4.5 or version after that and everything was fine. Then my battery decided to stop working. I got a new battery from a friend and i wanted to go back to stock rom and i forgot to wipe data and cache before going back to stock rom. This is where the problem appeared.
Now i'm stuck in a bootloop and cannot access recovery in any way. I can go into download mode, and i have tried another stock rom too, didn't work out. I tried flashing CWM 5.0.2.8, 6.0.3.2 and 6.0.3.3, it flashed but i still can't go to recovery. The phone just stays turned off when i hold Vol up + Vol down + home + power. Download mode works though. I also found a pit file and did a re-partition along with stock rom, it didn't work either.
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this or get past it?
Sorry because its my first post, i've been on the forum for some time but never registered.
Thanks ahead for any help!
EDIT: I managed to enter recovery somehow when it was already bootlooping or somewhat like that, im not sure myself. It's fixed now, Thanks.
