Rooted my Note now it wont boot up

Its been a while since ive been on these forums, i used to root and install custom roms on my X10 all the time..... but a Few days ago i rooted my Galaxy Note, following a tutorial from root galaxy note .com and my phone rebooted fine and after doing a root check my phone showed as being rooted, then last night in bed i installed lcd density and changed the settings upon restart my note is hanging on the Samsung bootup logo, i can get into odin mode where it stays on Downloading...Do not turn off target!!, i can also get it into Android System Recover, but cannot get the method of both buttons and power to work
I have been googling online for the last hour finding an answer and most seem to say i need to reflash the whole phone back to normal in odin but was wondering if there is any easier way to get back up and running especially as i didnt install any custom firmware on my phone
please help ??

This question dosn't belong to dev-forum.
But here's the quick answer:
LCD Density changes only one line that blongs to DPI in build.prop file. But you have to alter 2 lines.
So the quick way to revert your bootloop: go to recovery, make a full wipe and reflash your ROM.
If you want change your DPI: Alter it by manually change the lines in build.prop or grab ROM-Toolbox from market and make the changes.

hi thanks for the answer, when you say your rom ? ive been trying to find a custom uk 4.04 rom for the note for the last 45 mins but cant seem to find one, any ideas where ? also how would i change the build.prop without my phone being able to boot up, is it possible?

if it was on android recovery you might of escaped , you will find out when you flash firmware...if it gets stuck at factory fs its bricked...good luck

thanks for your advice, feel like giving myself a big slap honestly !!!! i was going to try a custom rom and see if it allowed that to work, where would i find an original 4.04 rom for the uk and o2 ?

in future i would do a bit more reading before you muck around with your phone , and dont bother with the other sites this site has the best info

If I were you I flash a GB stock rom with pc odin. If it pass you are ok and you can wipe again but if stuck on factoryfs.img you are hardbricked.
Please put here also the link for the tutorial that you used.

i managed to use odin to reflash the original firmware and im back up and running
thanks for the help guys

Now spend some time first and read this guide.

Don't follow other sites different than XDA. It can leave you to a eMMC hardbrick.

As you followed a guide that just ripped DooMLoRD's work from XDA, you most probably flashed the wrong kernel for your firmware, which is the cause of your problem.
Get the correct kernel from here, which is the source of the guide and files that website is using.

thanks for reply plz stick with me for a sec plz

[Q] Can't boot into TWRP and my phone got unrooted

Hello!
I have a Huawei Mate 9 (MHA-L29C432B190). Yesterday I tried to root my Phone to play Pokemon Go with fake gps. After I managed to root my phone, I couldn't boot into TWRP Recovery Mode anymore.
Because I still had some files I needed to flash I installed Flashfire from the PlayStore. I think after I flashed the newest Magisk version(The flash failed because of Error:1), my device got unrooted. But I think my device is still partly rooted because I can't get into Pokemon Go. Everytime I try to start it I get stuck the loading screen. So right now I can't flash anything to get my root back and I don't have the root to use alternative flash applications. I also tried to start return my phone to stock back with a update.app But it can't be installed. I also can't use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" I always get " Writing 'recovery'...FAILED (remote:command can't be used/allowed)". And also after some reboots my oem unlock got turned off and I can't turn it on anymore.
I don't have any ideas anymore what to do. I thought I could root my device, so I could unroot properly with superuser. I tried some other application like KingRoot oder OneClickRoot but both of them don't have a rooting method for the Huawei Mate 9 yet. Btw I don't have a backup because of my naivety.
I hope you guys can help me . I appreciate any ideas
Thanks in advance

Either way I want a method to root my phone without some flash application or I want a way to return my phone to stock. Or a method to fix TWRP would be fine too.

That doesn't tell me anything. That just tells me that you tried flashing.
It doesn't tell me anything about exactly what you tried to flash or what errors you got when you flashed. I need more precise information to help you. Your simple answers aren't helping me understand anything about what you have going on with your device.
What tools have you used? What guide/instructions did you use? What files have you used? What errors did you get? What results did you get. What do mean "didn't work"? "Didn't work" can mean many things.
I might be able to help you fix your device but I can't fix ignorance.

First I tried to do a force upgrade with a "dload" folder with a update.app file on my sdcard . After booting into this upgrade mode by pressing vol up + vol down + power button my device starts to install the stock firmware, but after it reaches 5% I get the message "Error with installing" and a Link to the same site when you boot into twrp. This always happens no matter which file I use. Next I tried to do a normal upgrade by calling this number "*#*#2846579#*#*" (The dload folder is still on my sdcard). But when I start the software upgrade I get booted into twrp and like I said in my post, always when I try to get into twrp I get stuck on the "Your device is booting screen". This is what I tried and basicly every site on google is saying I should try to do one of these two methods

Stock upgrades are not going to work if you are rooted and have TWRP.
Stock updates require stock recovery and an unmodified system partition(no root).

But you have TWRP, that won't work. You need stock recovery, custom recovery can't flash stock updates.

There are a couple of reasons for people not replying.
First of all, the lack of details on your problem makes it impossible to determine the solution.
1. What do you mean bricked? Bootloop? Stuck on OnePlus logo? Hard brick? How did you get it bricked in the first place?
2. The restore tool removes TWRP. Have you installed it again?
3. What do you mean you can't install or the update the ROM? Is there an error message? Are you trying to flash a custom ROM in the stock recovery?
4. You waited less than 2 hours. You realize there are different time zones? Some people are sleeping, others are at work.

Hey you self-entitled prick, transfer a copy of the full ROM onto your phone through adb/USB OTG/MTP and flash it through the stock recovery. If you had previously unlocked your bootloader and have TWRP installed, use that to flash instead. If you do not know what any of the above means, look for it yourself through the forums.

Reflash with the MSMtool after re-downloading everything and verifying all downloads first before proceeding. Use the tool I have posted at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/guide-official-op3t-stock-reset-to-oos-t3598864
Ensure you verify before starting the flash. Also uninstall or deactivate any anti virus application installed on your PC.

should i change the data partitions and everything to f2fs or other thing. system to ext4 data to f2fs

For now, don't worry about the data partitions. As mentioned above, reflash from MSMTools, verify the downloaded package first, and then check. All your issues are probably caused by a bad file.

Urgent help. Have I bricked my new s10?

Fixed now ? I formatted data in twrp and rebooted. All is well. I'll leave these pics here for anyone having the same panic as I did!

Could you explain it how you've bricked it, and then what have you done to fix it ?

phone is not bricked. those screen shots just imply your data cant be viewed. easy fix, flash new firmware in odin and if you want to root and flash twrp, just follow the normal steps to do so. you shouldnt have any issues doing that

Thanks for that. I did fix the issue as I've mentioned in the first post.
Before facing this issue, I'd already followed an online guide and already flashed TWRP_S10_Magisk_Prepatched.tar and Encryption_Disabler_S10_S10_S10E.zip as that's what I did before flashing custom roms with my S9. Having reformatted data and successfully rebooting, I'm now ready to try and root the ROM but having read more guides, I'm not sure I can!
I'm looking for some advice as to the best way to proceed. I'd like the phone rooted, is this possible as I've already flashed TWRP_S10_Magisk_Prepatched.tar and Encryption_Disabler_S10_S10_S10E.zip?
Cheers for the replies.
