I have a problem with my note and i really don't know what to do. I'm sorry if there is another post about this issue but i've not been able to find anything that matches.
Last night my phone refused to unlock even though i had just used it. I decided to reset the phone by holding down the power button. I tried to turn my phone on this morning but it would not boot up properly. The screen that says "Galaxy Note N7000" appears and will stay for a few seconds; it will either turn black and load the same screen again, or it will quickly show the little android person with the spinning orb in it's belly. It will continue this loop unless i take the battery out. Whilst like this, the back of the phone heats up quite a lot as well. I can enter odin mode by holding the volume down key but i cannot enter recovery mode by holding volume up.
Seriously, is there anything i can do to get my phone to reboot??
Thanks.
if you can get into download mode, try to flash stock rom again. Go here to download stock rom and for how to:

Edit: make sure you battery is charged more than 50%.
Edit: even before you try all these steps, flash philz kernel (.tar file) from pc odin and then see if you can enter recovery mode, if yes, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache and reboot the device to see if it works.

my phone has been frozen at the samsung i9000 screen ever since opening this app.... i am very new to this do not understand most concepts here.. ie. flashing a rom. If anyone can help me get my phone out of this state or has any suggestions on how i should fix this please comment.
if you can get into recovery mode try flasing another rom via cwm or flash it using odin and download mode (flashing non wipe roms via cwm might leave your apps and data intact)
What is the full name of the app? How did you try using it? Do you know what firmware version your phone is on?
First thing to try is turn off, remove battery sim and any microSD. leave five minutes and put all back in and turn on.

Where did you get this from? It does not seem to be in the market.
OK just found it. Have a read off all the comments. Not good.

You could try restart holding Home Vol up and Power button then choose Clear cache and Factory reset.
or
Try restart the phone holding home Vol down and press power button to get into recovery mode. then plug in and open Kies go to tools and firmware recovery.

Is telling me i need recovery code, I have never received one.
Just read this so it may work for you.
disconnect the phone from USB, pull the battery, replace it, boot into recovery mode and reconnect the phone. Go back to Kies and tools firmware recovery.
In other words repeat what you have done :-s
Original post on Android Forums.
The message indicated that I would need a recovery code that could be obtained later by clicking Tools | Firmware Emergency Recovery Menu.
I was then instructed to disconnect the phone, pull the battery, boot into recovery mode and reconnect the phone which I did. The phone would not reconnect. At this point I called Samsung tech support and wasn't impressed when I was simply told to repeat the procedure. But to my surprise, the upgrade was successful the second time around. Go figure! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else ran into the recovery code message.

Is there any hope for me?
Running stock 4.0.4 on my unrooted GT N7000. Phone was plugged in and charging (nearly full 89%) when I tried to use swipepad to launch my goole reader app. Everything froze while still in swipepad and was unresponsive for about five minutes while I waiting for a crash report. Crash report never came so I tried the power button. No response, still showing the frozen swipepad screen. Took the battery out and put it back in again, hit the power button and it shows the galaxy note launch screen (Galaxy Note GT N7000 in white on the black screen). It stays there with no change (this is a bootloop, right?).
I've tried going into recovery mode (vol down, home and power) and nothing happens, it just goes into the bootloop. Tried to get into odin mode (vol up, home and power) and I can get to the warning screen where you can select either boot as normal, or download mode. Boot as normal leads to bootloop, download mode gets immediately frozen.
I've also tried the "take battery out, hold volume, home and power while replacing battery" process with no luck
What happened? What did I do? What do I do?
I'm dying here.
As far as I can tell, all solutions I've seen have involved access to recovery mode....

You are not in a bootloop (which is when the bootanimation repeats over and over) you are stuck in the splash screen. Anyway, that is not important. As you are running the stock ICS firmware which has the brick bug, I would suggest you flash the rom again in ODIN PC. Find your firmware and follow the tutorial in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
DO NOT TRY TO WIPE ANYTHING IN STOCK RECOVERY.

Thanks for clearing that up (re the bootloop vs stuck in the splash screen), but looking through the tutorials, even with Odin installed on the PC, I'll need to get access to the recovery mode.
I can't boot into recovery mode. What then? Is there any way to flash a rom without recovery mode access?
From what I know you need recovery or download mode to flash a ROM you may want to order a USB jig and see if you can get it to down load mode that way other then that you may be bricked

My USB port is tempermental. OTG has been out of commission for a while.
So basically, through no fault of my own and without any recourse my phone is dead.
That's just great.
So, is this Google's fault, or Samsung's?
If you have not modified the phone be it kernel,rooted it, or custom ROMs then it would be a Samsung issue in my opinion anyways

Hmph.
Well thanks again.
I guess a terminal diagnosis is still a diagnosis.
Gutted.
Ok, so there are a lot of threads about soft bricks and bootloops, I have answered in a lot of threads but it seems it needs separate thread to explain how to "revive" your phone from bootloops and soft bricks.
First of all, I don't guarantee that it will work but mostly this tricks do their job.
Tricks were tested and worked on many phones, but I don't take responsibility for hard bricked phones after performing tricks from this thread.
Sometimes you need to repeat process because everything must be done with perfect timing. Also if one method won't work try another.
1. Prepare your phone to press recovery combination and while plugging phone to USB or charger, hold keys and release when samsung logo appear. Do Factory reset in recovery
2. (the best) turn on phone into download mode and don't accept terms, when phone will reboot quick hold recovery combination and release when samsung logo appear. Do Factory reset in recovery
(3). Emergency download mode (when phone wib but don't turn on screen) - take off battery for few minutes, after that time hold download combination and insert battery, wait few seconds (so normally it would boot and enter dm), accept terms by pressing volume down, connect USB and flash stock Rom
4. usefull tip - Always have backup created in CWM on phone, you never know when it will be needed. What I do is creating backup every week/two weeks, also I have stock backup. I really recomend to create backup before flashing CM while you are on stock (it will guarantee everything will 100% work if something fails), it helped me a lot of times.
(recovery combination - volume up, volume down, power, home)
(download mode - volume down, home, power / accept terms volume down, decline - volume up)
In 1 and 2 "just in case" you can flash stock Rom, when it will start to reboot after Odin finish flashing, take off battery and insert again (to stop boot process) phone should boot into recovery normally but repeat point 2 to be sure.
Also, what is importiant, ALWAYS have turned on debug mode in your usb settings, first thing you should do after flashing CM, turn on debug mode.
===================================================================================================================================================
When you are switching from CM to stock, after flashing stock you will have almost 100% chance that you will have bootloop on samsung logo. You have to factory reset before first boot. So, after flashing stock, when odin will proceed reboot your phone, unplug phone and take off battery (take off battery cover before flashing, but be careful not to drop battery while flashing via odin, it would be really really bad for your phone, hold phone and battery all the time). After inserting battery back and assemble cover, go to recovery and do factory reset.
Share your thoughts and experience here.

Thank you for this ! The decline download mode agrements , press recovery combination trick worked , I managed to get to recovery ! I flashed stock rom 3 times and tried repartition with pit ...but this is the only thing that worked ! Thank you
Now I have a Idea about a Un-brick:
1. If you want to return (after a Forget a clean data/cache/dalvik) When You can downgrade with .md5 Stock ROM (or Custom)
2. If Recovery Doesn't works... You can only Download Mode (Volume Down + Home + Power) - Remember it's that's not with SIM/SD Card [Maybe that's optional if it forget but I will be recommend.]
3. Flash to Newest "ClockWorldMod"
4. After Restart - That's must be take off battery and Connect USB Cable to SGMII
5. Let's Turn On Recovery Mode with a "Samsung Logo" Before Input Battery [With a Battery it's doesn't does it Start,on Fortunately...]
6. And... Let's to clean data/cache/dalvik... And that's All of "Open source Unbrick"
What Did a get:
+ Downgrade ROM without a Additonal Box (Because that's Open source with a Easy-Root and Not Close-Source as a Self of Old Sony Ericsson Tuning - But I Like a Old Sony Ericsson's Too ... And "Sony" looks from a 2007 about a Modifications and Sony is not a blocked for Android - Fortunately... And for a Today Some users remembers about a Big Seasons Tunings from K310i or K550i [I had a Two phones... That's nice what I discovered about a ROM's Modifications... And Let's praise for Sony that's Not blocked for Androids... Thank you,Sony. ]
+ That's can be again to Upgrade eg. Cyanogenmod
And... A knowledge... Hope that's share a help.
might want to consider adding this
Hi OP, you might want to add this to your thread..
so, early this week, i faced a bad bootloop situation after the software update.. Even with a normal boot (no vol+,home button and power button pressing), my phone will still be stucked at CWM recovery..
Note that my phone was working fine, only the software update caused my phone to stuck in the CWM bootloop..
So, what i did was, i updated my CWM 4.0.8.2 [ my bad, cause when i rooting my phone initially last few weeks, and i've been reading outdated threads].. So, i updated my CWM 4.0.8.2 to CWM 6.x through CWM recovery..
Then, after it rebooted, i go to download mode, connect my phone through ODIN and flashed stock rom.
Now, it is working fine like new..
i was planning on flashing a custom rom on my galaxy s6 today but at work i watched a video on how to get twrp recovery, so i downloaded it on to my phone, followed every direction and step using flashify then when i installed twrp and rebooted my phone it got stuck at the boot load screen, i cant even go to recovery mode nor download mode, everytime i hold the power button and volume rockers it just cuts off and boots back to boot loop cuts off boot loop and so on, idk what to do can someone please help
Slow down, take your time. This is not a permi-brick. Just go back, start at step 1, and try again. There is hope. There must be a way to get into recovery.
I'm having the same exact issue, I'm able to get into download mode by holding volume up, home and power buttons. I'm downloading the stock firmware now and I'm going to try to flash it with odin to see if it works.

If you two can't get into download mode for whatever reason get odin to the point it says waiting for phone or connection or whatever it says then let it boot loop a couple times with the phone plugged in (preferably start from a powered off state). This might just have been lg but for some reason I remember odin rebooting my phone into download mode if the program was at that point.
*edit*
I feel like I wasn't clear enough. You want the tar ball loaded and hit start before you plug the phone in. I could be way off but it's worth a try.
Hi all, this is sadly my first thread in xda, sadly because two things: for being a help-ask thread and because the reason im posting it:
So i decided to flash the new ASIG firmware to my S10, and I don't know what went wrong because odin flashed all right. when i rebooted my device did the key combo to get into recovery mode but it didn't work. Can't pass from the first boot screen because it keeps rebooting
some info to feed your sugestions:
-i was rooted and running a custom rom (August securitypatch on BeyondRom)
-patched AP file in magisk
-ianmacd TWRP
I have tried to get it into download mode, recovery mode, normal OS, magisk boot.... nothing works it keeps rebooting. I remember the battery was like 60~70 % and have been like 7 hours and keeps rebooting.
Also i have tried to get it to boot in download mode waiting till screen goes black pressing voldown and bixby and catching the right moment to plug the cable in it and stops rebooting but doesn't boot either. If i press power button starts again rebooting and the same happen if i disconnect-reconnect or free-press any of the button combo even for one second...
so i have been tweaking my devices like 3 years and this is the first time i think i screwed up one, i always tought it was not possible (hope don't) but this time i think i made it
Do I? there is no fix?
i'm waiting to the phone gets fully discharged to see if powered off can i get it to boot into download mode and fla**** again
is there another way to get it to go into download mode? like old phones with the usb jig
it is a way to turn it off??
do you know what could be the reason to get in this state?
sorry for too much questions but i had a s7 edge before and i messed with it a lot, one day deactivated oem unlock, flashed wrong custom roms and broke it (software way) a lot of times and i always was able to get into download mode and fix it but this time i can't get it to work
so please help me and thanks for read and try to help (if anybody) lol r.r :crying::crying::crying:
FIXED
i'm happy to have been right, its hard to hard brick a device hehehe just after some minutes after (panic atack) post battery went out of energy pressed key combo comected cable to pc and booted un DM im sorprised because did not lost a byte of data
When the S9-S10 Starts bootlooping and won't go to DWNLD mode or Recovery, Just hold Power + Vol DWN + BIX for 5 seconds, release, repeat for ten seconds, release, Repeat,
After that the "upload mode" should appear. and you can just hold Power+Volume Down until the phone reboots. This time the keys will finally boot you into the desired mode...
