So I encrypted my phone. I needed to do a factory reset to wipe all data. I factory reset it and now the phone boots to the encryption password(which it shouldn't). I enter it and it's stuck in a boot loop.
Any Ideas?
I am going to try odin. My only problem is that I am in Alaska and GCI uses the T-mobile variant so the boot logo wont be the same? I'm trading it in so hope they wont notice.
I'd odin to stock using this method.

Yeah that's what I ended up doing. It's not from t mobile though so before I took it back I removed all the boot logo stuff and hid the t mobile apps.
If I get my hands on another note 4. Does anyone know of a way to dump that stock rom so that I can use Odin to flash it to this one seeing as how I probably won't be able to ask my carrier to do it for me.

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!
I have stock at&t S5 and it was working fine then just went it a bootloop. Tried going into recovery and doing a factory reset and even wiped cache and it still does it. Any ideas how i can get the thing to boot up? I have called for a warranty replacement but i's rather not wait for that if i do not have to.
thanks.

you did absolutely nothing prior to the bootloop?
i would use odin on a pc and odin the full stock tar (for your att s5) in AP slot.. this will wipe everything on internal memory but should work if nothing else is wrong

i didn't do anything out of the ordinary no. just using some apps. i got it to actually boot if the usb cord was plugged into it when it rebooted which is kinda weird. anyways, it's working now so i'll mess with it and see if it does it again.
It appears to be a battery problem. Borrowed a friends battery and didn't have the problem, so I have ordered a new battery. Hopefully that will do the trick.
Hey guys I got a AT&T Note 3 that wont boot. When i try it turn it on it gets stuck, so i tried to do a hard reset on it, but every time it tries to boot into recovery it restarts itself, so i though it must be missing a recovery, so I loaded the full NC2 software on it via ODIN, everything passed without issues. But on the first boot it tries to boot into recovery again which i think is normal after a full odin flash, the recovery is still missing. I found the master thread for all the stock recoveries, but the NC2 recovery is a bad link. Does anyone have a stock NC2 recovery i can try? Or does anyone konw whats wrong with it?
thanks

Did you use these Odin files? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54803130&postcount=136 If you did the All-In-One, you know it will not wipe your phone. I always do the four files and have no problems and it's normal to see the recovery to boot.
Yes
I have tried both, all in 1 and 1 in each. After it says complete when it boots it says recovery booting, then it turns off and turns back on and recovery booting, then off and on again non stop.

Just a thought, but you try with the pit file? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51572044&postcount=2
So... I dropped my phone. physical damage was minimal, but I ended up losing my IMEI and access to SIM Card. WiFi worked fine as long as I was in airplane mode. otherwise it kept rebooting.
So... I went into download mode and reloaded stock firmware using LG Flash Tool 2014. Load completed, but the phone now goes into a boot loop that reboots after the LG logo screen and the android erase screen. Tried factory reset, still goes into same boot loop. Tried reloading stock firmware again after factory reset, still the same thing. Is it possible I have damaged hardware? Been on this for 3rd day now. Appreciate any feedback . Thanks.

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
Sounds like damaged hardware, or somehow the wrong back-to-stock firmware.
At any rate, I am connecting you to the following forum where your device experts can be found:

I've been using Moar rom on my Sprint Note5 for like a year. My phone has been fine until last night I had it charging and woke up to it in a boot loop.
I can only go into download mode and not recovery.
What are my options? My main concern is getting all of my pictures off.
Thanks
Just go back to stock with Odin. It will not erase anything on your phone. You can get all your photos off your phone then factory reset and root again. Just make sure repartition is not checked before you run Odin.

Did that, it did not work. Still a boot-loop. Has anyone else been on the same boat as me?
