note 3 bootloop - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had Note 3 safestrap installed.
Factory wiped and I flashed PureRom Ce over S5 experience rom on kit kit 4.4 and reboot.
The note 3 will not start into boot logo but appears as Galaxy note 3 with unlocked icon and nothing else. Tried to boot me to recovery it did take me to stock recovery. I hit factory reset and cache and problem still the same.
Any ideas? if problem do not solved, all I do to hit up odin to flash new firmware?

Seems like you formatted sd in ss, did you reboot normally or you pressed vol up menu and power? Try to reboot, if ss doesn't show up you may have to revert to mj5.

You are right, I formatted it by pc. I thought everything had covered. The ss I had was installed but recovery did not "recovery not active" someone claimed it was bug. So I rebooted got ss then flashed purerom on kk, and this was happening right after reboot. I gonna have to look in thread about mj5 you mentioned. Download mode working fine and stock recovery working fine. Ugh I need to get home and have this fixed. I'm at work stuck with boot looping note 3. Hope to get this fixed tonight.

"Recovery not active" means you are using the stock slot. Yeah just follow the steps in the mj5 restore done that numerous times and it always brought me back. Hope you get that note 3 firing again.

Thanks I got my note 3 back to life using mj5 restore. Problem solved.

BOOT LOOP!!!!

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)

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!

[Q] Safestrap 3.05 Problem - Stuck in Safe

A couple days ago I decided to load the new Safestrap Hashcode linked to. Everything went very well, and I have been running Maverick 4.5 in slot 2 as my daily driver. I was able to get back into Safestrap using the menu button. I also loaded Gummybear ICS into Slot 3, but went back to Maverick.
Yesterday I was going to go back into Safestrap and switch to the Gummybear/slot 3 rom to check it out.
I can't get back into Safestrap at all. I am stuck in the Maverick 4.5 rom.
One thing I did notice and do not understand: When I use Titanium Backup or the Reboot Widget to "Reboot into Recovery", I get a Yellow Triangle with an Exclamation Mark and the Android guy.

That's the stock Droid 3 recovery. Using a reboot recovery will lead to that, and will not allow Safestrap's bootloader to intercept the boot and activate Safestrap recovery.
I haven't tried running Safestrap 3.05 myself, since it's still not official, but I do know that you cannot reboot recovery as you describe to to get into Safestrap for any version of Safestrap.

thats the stock recovery
now. do you still get the boot menu splash page where it asks you to input the menu key or continue?
if so hit the menu many times or hit on the screen the hit menu for recovery image section, as it shoulod also work.
maybe my next question is silly or already tried, but have you tried to try it with the charger disconnected?
some times when my droid 3 is connected, the touch screen gets un responsive o registers more than input
hope this helps
I now have the same problem. I see the splash screen and it vibrates and reacts when I press the menu button, however it does not boot into safestrap v3.05.
From the JB topic it seems more people have this problem!

For those with trouble entering recovery with SS 3.05
The EASIEST and most DEPENDABLE way I've found to boot into the new SS 3.05 is;
Shutdown the phone
Slide open keyboard
Hold M and press the power button to boot the phone (still holding M, release when it boots the next step)
Immediately a menu pops up
Press Volume DOWN to highlight "BP Tools" (tap several times, be quick, if you wait too long, it'll automatically select what is highlighted)
Press Volume UP to select it.
Phone will reboot showing the M logo, then proceed into SS Recovery.

Strange, I have tried it several times... worked each time... maybe try reinstalling safestrap 3.05? Back up what you can of course, stock should not be touched.

Had this problem today after creating a rom slot and flashing a new rom, this worked for me however I had to try it a few times. Once I got into recovery I wiped the rom and rom slot and ss3 is working properly now. Not sure if this was a rom issue or ss3.

When you run the OTA update to 906, it will remove the Safestrap bootstrap and will unroot as well. However, you can reroot with Motofail, then run the Safestrap app again to install recovery, and you slots *should* still be there. Perhaps making a backup of each slot before running the OTA would be smart.

i dont like the word "should"
ok i try to save the files in safetrap and try an OTA. yesterday the ota didn't run but i think i have to wait longer thar it starts the installation than the 10 minutes...
The slots are all stored on the internal storage (the mount point /sdcard) on the phone, so as long as you don't format internal storage, they should stay there.
I should note that I have never tried installing the OTA with safestrap 3.05 installed - I did it with 1.08. Actually, you may want to activate the stock slot, go into the safestrap app and uninstall recovery, and then try running the OTA. It's possible that the OTA will balk with a custom recovery installed - I don't remember, and, like I said, I never tried with Safestrap 3.05 installed.
You can also download the OTA, copy it to an external SD card, and manually run the update from stock recovery. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1643521
[edit] Sorry - that link is for an update from 890 to 906. I forgot that you were not on 890. Sorry about that...
I had almost the same problem with my phone, the diference is that mine got stuck on non safe system (Stock ROM). Initializing the phone with th Android Recovery (Turning on with the key "m" pressed down) and choosing BP Tools doesn't worked.
- Phone: Milestone 3 XT860 (Brazilian Droid 3)
- Carrier: Vivo
- Current ROM: Stock 2.3.5 - 5.2.440

stuck on boot loop after 4.1.2 update

update wouldnt install the stock way so decided to force it with odin first it just failed in odin on the last step, so i found the cf auto root method ran that and now i cant even get back to download mode help!!! thanks.
edit was able to get back into download mode figured out i was pressing the button the wrong way. anyway tried reflashing the 4.1.2 build i found and after flashing it says "fail" at the modem stage, so i restarted download mode and flashed the cf auto root again, it started to "update apps for 4.1.2" and kept rebooting itself where it left off, now when booting it said "starting apps" and just reboot again and now just keeps rebooting.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

What kind of reset? (cant factory reset dont have a recovery to do that with) i've tried taking battery out and putting it back in and it just boot loops after installing the cf autoroot file. so i than tried flashing the 4.1.2 file and it fails again, like a vicious cycle. downloading the stock image now i just want the camera to boot again i shouldnt have bothered with the update lol.
edit: installed stock image get same fail message at modem part, so ran the cf autoroot again it than restarted and "upgraded" all the apps went all the way through this to to finishing boot and now is boot looping again!!!!!!!!!! errrrrr i should have never even bothered with all this.
don't you have at least a stock recovery?
holding zoom+ while turning on my galaxy camera boots it into a simple recovery mode.
4th option is "wipe data/factory reset"
the stock recovery doesn't have as much options as cwm or twrp, but it's enough for a reset.
for recovery or download mode you always have to power down your camera completely, if quick startup is enabled it goes into standby instead so you may have to pull the battery first.

[Q] recover from soft brick

I decided to unroot my note 3 so i could update to kitkat. I used supersu to unroot and then went to accept the ota, it failed.i then did a factory reset but safestrap still showed up. My next step was to do another factory reset and now its stuck on the galaxy note 3 boot screen with the custom logo. I tried flashing the mj5 files to it and it passed but after factory reset and a wipe it still locks on the boot screen. Any help would be great.

If you can get into download mode (home + power + vol down) you can just follow the steps listed in this thread.

You will definitely need an external SD Card and will need to follow the instructions exactly. It works like a charm. Once you are done you will be back on MJ5 and can OTA update to KitKat or continue using MJ5.

You don't have to have an SD card; you can hold volume up and go to recovery mode, go down to update via ADB, and sideload&install the .zip files instead of an SD. (I had to do this last night from a soft brick)

Phone stuck in Samsung logo

Hi guys, I need help please!
I am using Samsung Note 3 SM-N9005 ARMv7 Lollipop 5.0. Rooted it with Kingoroot. "installed" TWRP through Flashify.
I downloaded Xposed Framework xposed-v86-sdk21-arm.zip onto my phone and installed it through TWRP in Flashify. Everything seemed fine, got the message install successful, I selected "reboot" instead of "clear cache/dalvik". Phone went into reboot...Samsung Note 3...Samsung logo...and stuck there. I understand that it takes some time for first boot, and I waited, but almost an hour and its still showing the same screen. So I tried to power off the phone, but it restarted again and stuck in the same logo screen. I tried to go into recovery mode hoping to get TWRP to do a reset or something, but no TWRP! Was only given option of "volume up - continue(to odin mode)" and "volume down - cancel(restart phone)". No option for factory reset either. So i booted odin, and tried to flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.7-hlte.img.tar, got the messaged passed, phone rebooted and again stuck in Samsung logo. Tried recovery mode and still no TWRP! Please help!!:crying: :crying: :crying:
p.s. phone won't power off, only way to do it is to remove the battery.
Samsung phones stock ROMs need an special version of Xposed framework. Geez, it is on the official thread:
Known issues:
- Bootloops on Samsung stock ROMs. That's due to Samsung's changes to ART. There are unofficial builds that work around this by deodexing and adjusting the ROM.

When you flash TWRP, you have to have reset unchecked in Odin, when the flash finishes you pull the battery and then boot into recovery via button combo. If you don't do that TWRP doesn't stick. From there flash the Xposed uninstaller so you can boot properly.

I tried it, unchecked "reboot", flashed TWRP, power off. When I tried button combo, I can't boot into recovery. It either keep giving me the restarting loop (power on, samsung note 3..then power off, and on again..) or if i let go of the power button at note 3, it goes to the samsung logo and stuck there.
update: I kept trying, and finally got a little different response. I pressed volume up + home + power buttons, and got 3 small lines of colorful words...
Recovery booting
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Set warranty bit : recovery
and then the phone turns off and start again
Tried different combinations, so far only the volume up sequence showed something a little different.

That is ok, you get that when you have modified system/recovery. Means your are not fully stock. If you had full stock unrooted unmodified system and recovery that goes away, nothing to worry about. If you are still having problems follow these step exactly:
1) Pull battery out of phone then put it back in
2) boot to download mode (power+home+volume down)
3) open Odin on computer (run as admin)
4) plug phone into computer
5) Uncheck a. Reboot and f. Reset time in Odin
6) flash TWRP (TWRP.img file goes in AP)
7) after successful flash unplug phone and pull battery
8) put battery back in and boot directly to recovery (power+home+volume up)
If you let it boot normally without going into TWRP first, it does not stick

Oh, since I'm here, can you give me advise on which version xposed framework I should get? (Although I don't think my phone is touchwiz, is there a way to find out/confirm? I'm a noob as you can see)

Ok, now that TWRP is on there things should be easier. You are on Stock ROM, it is TouchWiz. You will need to flash a custom ROM that is deodexed. If you like the stock look, feel, and options look in the threads for your device for a stock deodexed ROM. Or you can flash CM. Depending on what version of Android you decide to run will dictate which version of Xposed you install.

I am getting a note3 and wanted to install xposed on it. the phone is running 4.3. with that version there is no need for flashing correct? simply download apk and install?

I am quite used to the look and functionity of the current version I am using...which is lollipop 5.0. My phone is Samsung Note 3 SM-N9005 ARMv7 international Qualcomm. I'll need to flash custom ROM and then get a "matching" xposed framework,correct? Could you please direct me as to how to get xposed framework to work please?

Just go to the threads for your device and flash a TouchWiz based deodexed ROM
