hey there, i'm doing this for a friend
he was updating to JB i believe OTA and it crashed.
It was stuck on the boot screen, but i got pass that, and the phone was back to the way she was using it.
However it kept rebooting randomly
So I tried doing a soft reset, deleting everything, plus i tried doing an updated on samsing kies, cos it shows that the jb update is available
but once the phone reboots, it goes back to the it was when i got it pass the boot screen, like its going back in time.
When it turns on, customer battery power saver is on and it starts downloading 4 apps...
whenever you restart the phone, it goes in a loop of doing the same thing.
I've even tried a hard reset, same thing, boots and starts the loop all over again
this is very confusing
I even tried using Odin to flash the original rom, odin shows success and the phone reboots....back to the loop state...
what can be done?
I will really appreciate the help
thank you
strange situation ... I am guessing that you are on ICS ROM ..
try downloading one of the safe kernel's first and then clear the cache or re-install the stock ROM from this safe kernel ..

Hello
I am in a great panic mode.
I applied this lagfix : forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7587405&postcount=417 and since I did it I cannot use my phone.
I am not able to start my phone. It shows me Galaxy S logo, and after that I hear the start up music but nothing on the screen (no animation). Pressing hardkeys does not do anything either.
Above all I cannot even enter my recovery mode. When I press volumedown+poweron button, the screen keeps showing me Galaxy S logo and it does not go any further.
Please help me if you know how to getaround.
Were you rooted when yoou applied update.zip?
Anyway,did you try to shutdown the phone removing battery,and then try entering recovery?
the fix did not mention I had to root my phone, it said it would self install.
Yes I did shut down after removing the battery, and then I am trying to get into recovery using volumedown+poweron button but I am not able to get into it. All I see is Galaxy logo and hear start up music after that with nothing on screen.
OK, I am able to get into recovery mode.. I was trying wrong combinations
Now what should I select I get these options:
1. reboot system now
2. apply sdcard:update.zip (will never do this again)
3. wipe data/factory reset (should I do this)
4. wipe cache partition
yes.. you should do 3.) wipe data. If that doesnt solve your problem, you need to flash firmware agian

Why did you choose to install something not on main page, something obviosuly not very tested and something 2 month old (god knows there are close to ten newer or more tested fixes).
If you can access download mode, than reflash. If not... Well, try the exotic methods (dont know them, as I have working 3 butons)
Hey, for a second I thought it did noy fix my problem as I did not get my animation screen and ony heard music.. But then suddenly it starts up
I think I lost my animation on start up though
I still see that MCR Scripts icon on app loader screen, How could I know if its enabled or disabled?
Thanks a lot guys.. XDA rocks .

I regret doing something like that.. But it was really confusing as there are so many topics on the forum and I was really tempted to solve the lag issue I started facing recently (I installed too many apps).
hey i have the same problem.. my phone goes up into the Samsung logo and hangs there forever, occasionally blinking and making a weird vibration. i've tried factory reset but that doesn't help..
How do i flash firmware again?

reflash the rom by odin will solve the problem
make sure your kenel is speedmod if u updated the rom from your sdcad，
enter into recovery ，do the wipe then updated ，disable all lagix ，all this work done u could updated the rom
Hi, I installed this rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716088
and It's simply not up the home screen, I even tried to restart (by pressing the power button a few seconds)
For half an hour or so passed and he still displays the Samsung logo and nothing happens, I'm pretty stressed out right now and I have no idea what to do, It would be great if someone could help me, thanks.
Update: I turned off the phone for the meantime (I took out the battery)
Download and flash ROM from here ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 I recommend first install Gingerbread ROM, as you may need to wipe cache and wipe data, which is dangerous on ICS.After successfull flashing you can update to ICS.
Problem solved, thanks a lot :victory:
hi all
i ahve not installed a custom rom on my note, but i have rooted it and installed abyss note kernal. everything has been working fine for months and months with this, all of a sudden last night i saw my phone was off, i went to switch it back on and the boot screen just keeps looping and i have no idea why.
I can get into recovery (it says odin mode) and the phone is connected to odin on my PC.
i obviously would like to get the phone working again some how, but if at all possible i would like to keep everything that was on there as i was using the phone as a usb drive to store my college work on and dont want to lose it.
any help would be appreciated
Are you able now to start your phone???and if not, can you enter in download mode(pressing vol down+home key+power key)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
ok i just flashed a stock gingerbread rom from odin. odin said pass (successful) but i am still having boot loop i thought flashing a stock would have sorted it.

hmmm so what your trying to say is that just right after reflashing to stock GB your phone went into a bootloop after? You didn't have any chance still of restoring your backups did you? it just rebooted right after flashing back to GB?
i didnt flash any rom before, i was just on stock what came on the phone. the boot loop randomly happened last night. i have just now flashed a stock GB rom through download mode and odin.
the boot loop is still happening even after i just flashed a stock rom
did you restored your backups back on your phone? if you did.. try not to.. just observe it for now.. all stock.. no datas at all, turn off your phone(in airplane mode) and see if your still getting the bootloops.... if your still getting it then I'm doubting you may have a corrupted data partition inside your phone.
Mate, if you're on stock GB (NOT STOCK ICS!!!!), then you can safely go into Recovery Mode and full wipe:
- Hold Power + Volume Up + Home button alllll the way until a weird recovery, safe-mode like menu appears
- Navigate using the Volume Keys to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset"
- Use Home button as ok and do that
- Navigate to "Reboot System"
And you're done and safe, no worries
i didnt restore any backups as i didnt have any baackups. i cant access the phone at all it just boot loops only. i think it is a corrupted data partition as i have flashed a stock rom and it still boot loops. i dont know how it happened though as i didnt do anything i just pulled it out my pocket and it was turned off, i tried to turn it back on and thats when i got the boot loop

Most Welcome!
Just remember to press thanks!
One more thing... Please make sure you know about recovery and/or download mode, about CWM, stock and custom ROMs + kernels before flashing
It will turn the experience of customizing your Note into something really pleasurable, not a teeth-chattering experience Believe me, I know.
You can check out the stickies in every thread + you can check out some articles either here on XDA or "Android A-Z" that talk about CWM (Clockwork-Mod Recovery), Rooting and that sort of thing.
Best of luck to you!
I rebooted my phone to install a font and now it continues to turn on (HTC logo) and then restart. Tried to get into recovery and it just exits...
I had my phone off at night and turned it on - read a few text messages - and went to replace the ****ty font I installed yesterday.
Just looping.
Any help?
Can't even turn it off lol - I would need to go into bootloader and click power down. It is odd - I didn't do anything and it started up perfectly before 5 minutes I did the fonts.
flash the boot and/or recovery?

I flashed the recovery with CWM and installed Android Revolution HD 6.1
I was just wondering if it was safe to re-flash the recovery again to see if it would work. I don't want to screw up this phone lol.
EDIT: Got it. Reflashed the recovery and had to reflash the ROM.
I don't know why a simple font change would screw ALL of that up. I don't want to keep flashing this ROM lol it has been about 4 times now.

You need to reflash what ever was on it. Hopefully you made a backup if not and were on stock find the correct nandroid back or RUU for your phone and flash that. You can also try doing a factory reset that may bring it back.
agreed...try to re-flash everything to stock than go from there to find what is causing the problem.
Hi all,
This was happened since yesterday. Suddenly my phone got stuck and reboot itself after few seconds. But It won't back again and stuck on bootloop. I was on stock rooted ROM with Philz kernel.
Then I've tried to reboot on recovery but It also very hard to get there. After 10-12 times I was able to go recovery, and I did full wipe there. But, I wont fix the issue. Some times It's booting properly( After pull out battery for 5mins ) but only last for few seconds. Very first time I press the home button after sleep or lock, phone get stuck and reboot and bootloop.
I've tried different ROMs, Kernels, even GB ROMs, Finally tried to fix file system errors with e2fsck. But nothing was solved my problem.
Please, anyone here had same issue ? Or any knows solution to fix it ?
Thanks
Anybody can help ... ??? I can work with this phone until it get stuck once. After that, bootloop. If I keep switched off and battery removed, after 10-30mins back, It's working again.
Please anyone can help me ?

try to remove the whole ROM with the kernel from recovery mod , i think there is an option for that in "advanced options" menu , so that ur device will show nothing when you press the power button ..
then download any stock rom and flash it with odin ,..
another method is to flash previous rom update , i.e ICS if your device is on JB , then via KIES update your device ..
hope that helps you

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I've tried formatting all partitions from recovey mode. and I've tried flashing GB ROMS via odin. every rom boots first time, but once it locked, it get stuck when try unlock. Then it wont boot again.
I've tried CM10.1 as well , but no hope.
The thing is, once it stuck and reboot, It wont even boot to recovery as well ( If I try 100 times, 1 time can be able to boot recovey ) . But for Download mode is anytime can boot.
I've never heard such a spooky problem before
any other ideas... please ...
Go to download mode and clean-install a stock ROM using ODIN. Then install PhilZ boot loop free kernel and you'll be on root again.
