[Q] Issue with Note N7000 on jelly bean 4.1

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.

[A] Soft bricks, blocked recovery, bootloops - RESCUE TIPS

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.

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..

[Q] stuck in boot loop P1000

Good day everyone...
I have one Galaxy Tab P1000 here stuck in boot loop... I really don't know what happened before it got stuck into this loop but it was working fine, it got battery empty and when done charging, it got stuck in a boot loop already...
I have tried to go into stock recovery but the sad thing is that I can navigate through the menu but I can't press the OK button (the power button) to select anything to do. So I searched through the forum and tried a few things, the most notable would be trying to go back to safe stock in the Overcome thread, still it is in boot loop. I tried to go further by installing the overcome kernel... skipping the part where I'm supposed to go to the settings (because basically I cant go to the settings menu).... still I was able to install the kernel and even the Overcome ROM, sadly even with the MOD ROM its still in the boot loop , one thing to note though, when I go into the recovery mode in Overcome ROM I can press the OK button (power button), I mean it responds now and I can basically navigate through the recovery menu and select things from there... but It is still stuck in a boot loop
need some advice

Stock 3e OK button is actually the capacitive HOME button.
Your tab was responding the same in stock as in overcome.
Can't help you about the looping though.
Have you tired restocking again with pit file?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app

tried the home button too but still no avail it wasnt responsive... i have made all the reflashing with the specific pit file needed it wont get out of the loop

Try: - (good luck)
choice_A
steps
in CWM, wipe factory reset, cache, dalvik, everything that you can find.
flash kernel CWM6.0.4.5 (from download mode)
install a new rom.
choice_B
flash kernel TWRP2.3.5 (I think or some version similar) (from download mode)
it has some extra WIPE to delete BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM, etc. WIPE them all. If you can manage this, it doesn't even LOOP.
install a new rom.
problem.
There is a TWRP that can't boot into recovery by VOL+_Power. Only can get in from home screen advanced reboot.
may be some other older TWRP can enter recovery, try to find one. I'm not so sure my self.
choice_C
if somehow you managed to boot into home screen, install apk (bootloader check) by chainfire (I think), I had previously experience some dev uses locked bootloader, which doesn't allow you to flash new rom properly.
btw do you know the 8 seconds power button to get a real shutdown?

thanks cx5 im gonna do try all the choices... real reset meaning a powercycle (8 sec hold of power button)

Good luck,
New advances, TWRP solved, now able to boot from VOL_UP+power. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48418252&postcount=365
Suggest to use @terenceng 's rom too, it has one of the highest free ram 487MB.
Another tip, if you hold power button forever it will boot loop forever.
i.e.
from shutdown
4 seconds will boot up (may be it's 3, anyway)
another 8 seconds will shutdown. (may be it's 7, anyway)
total is 12 seconds.
When I didn't have enough experience in counting the time accurately, I overshoot the 8 seconds shutdown to around 12 seconds and it boots up, and I think it is looping. But in fact it is not. I accidentally made it boot up. Hope you don't fall into this condition.
GT-P1000 are fantastic that it can surely shutdown, as long as the 8 sec rule is properly implemented. no more no less.
Then you can always go to download mode. overcome restock has always save my day. Good luck.

I forgot to say, locked bootloaders will STOP overcome restock. It will not allow it. Must use bootloader UNLOCK apk. Happened to me so many times in the past.

thank you for the help guys but the problem was actually the motherboard

SM-N920I in bootloop after OTA update, unable to access recovery mode.

Would thoroughly appreciate any kind assistance. I have a note 5 model no SM-N920I. I come from Singapore, and this phone is unbranded (not carrier specific). What happened was, i received an OTA update and thus went ahead with downloading the update. Immediately upon successful update, my phone started crashing and constantly rebooting on its own. Until one fine day it crashed and went into bootloop.
After which, i had attempted to reflash stock Firmware using Smartswitch. It was successful but the phone was still stuck in bootloop. Any attempts to force the phone into recovery mode (home + vol up + power button) was not successful. I couldnt even switch off my phone, with the screen stuck on the samsung screen, untill the battery drained. Any attempts to charge the phone would cause the phone to turn on but stuck on the samsung screen. Able to go into download mode, and already checked the vol up button is not faulty.
Attempted to reflash stock via ODIN, was successful also, but still in bootloop and unable to force into recovery mode.
Phone had never been tampered with before this issue, never rooted,never messed with. Appreciate any help offered. Thanks

Hold both the volume down and power button at the same time until the screen turns off, when it turns back on use the volume down button to select factory reset and then tap the home button and follow through with it.

At this point you can flash the twrp recovery from Odin. My be that recovery works for you and in this you can wipe the phone.

Hello. I am new here and sorry if broke any rules.
I have note 5 n920L. Bought it used. Received update 7.0. After it, it worked for 2 days and than started working slowly. Restarted and after restart I saw blue screen - "installing system updates". The same screen was for 10 hours. It could not load into recovery mode for wiping. It could not install firmware from download mode. Cannot add here photos because do not have 10 posts.
When trying installing firmware, odin stops on system.img.
When trying recovery mode, it does not enters there.
I see recovery mode after hours trying installing system updates. When I click on wipe data or cache, I have errors:
no support single - sku
supported api: 3
dm-verify verification failed
e: failed to mount cache (invalid argument)
e: cannot mount cache recovery last install and many other similar errors
FRP IS LOCKED. STATUS IS CUSTOM (do not know how and why, if it was custom could not receive update..)

If you can get into download mode you should try Samsung smart switch.

Samsung smart swithc writes that the this device is ot supported. Why it writes so, do not know. It is original n920L

Try this.

bro use kies to recover your phone but all data will be lose if u do this format.
Get your model , serial and IMEI number

If you can go to download mode then flash.... twrp-3.0.2-2-noblelte.img .... (Google plz) by putting the file in ODIN (AP) and flsh it. Then u can go in TWRP mode. Once u go in TWRP mode then u can connect ur phone to PC & put any custom rom depending on model u have & flash the custom rom. Later u can download the latest firmware from sammobile & flash the stock rom.
Another Solution: if u have flashed stock rom or reflashed the rom but giving same bootloop problem then Use 3 fingers i.e. volume up-volume down-power button and press it till the samsung logo starts flashing. Immediately again using 3 fingers press volume up- power- home button for long time till u get stock recovery. U have to do this the time when samsung logo goes off. Now from stock recovery wipe cache, dalvik and then select factory reset and then power off. Later put ur phone ON and around 20 minutes Ur phone will start with the latest stock rom.
I had same problem on my 920C & 920i model but both were saved by the procedure given above.

Need a clearer understanding of the steps needed

Ok i get the holding vol down and power button pert(simulate battery removal) and the screen will go off, before coming back on, but correct me if im wrong, u want me to continue holding down the vol down button all the way and the phone will provide options to factory reset? Sorry im not too good at reading between the lines...

Would it really work with KIES?

Wow thats detailed man. Appreciate the effort taken. Will head home, have a more in-depth read, and try out the steps. Will update if successful. Thanks again mate.

Kies is not supported for newer models than note 4 and s4 are. Is not it right?

The time u flashed the rom before the bootloop started did u checked in ODIN the GREEN BLOCK with PASS!!! written. If yes then U do not have any FRP lock problem or else the rom could not be flashed anyhow.
And if ur getting the bootloop this means the rom has been flashed but stuck on Samsung logo for several minutes. In this case im sure ur phone can go in stock recovery. Just send the image of the phone when it says FRP lock.

It wrote fail. Cannot flash firmware too, it stucks on system img.

I need help lol after flashing in odin

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...
