Hey guys hopefully someone can help me out. I have a friend that has a note 4 that seems to have a mind of its own. It gets to the note 4 screen hangs and then reboots. Ive tried the following:
Kies upgrade and initialization
Odin stock lollipop
odin twrp 2.6.1 recovery
The note takes all of those with no errors. When the note reboots it hangs and then reboots over and over. I tried to get to recovery but hangs just like it does when its booting and restarts. Also unable to get to safe mode. But does get to download mode no problem. Any Ideas?
If you have twrp, have you wiped
System
Data
Dalvik
Cache
Internal?

Go into twrp recovery and do a factory reset then reboot the phone..
Thanks guys for the replies I've tried both and the phone still reboots. Any other ideas?
Which model was it? The newer T3 or the original T? If the newer T3, make sure you are flashing dog1 firmware.

Its the N910t t mobile variant not sure if its the new one or not. How do I find out?
What stock firmware did you flash?
Sent from my SM-N910T3 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
stock lollipop 5.01 cod6
Were you upgrading from kit Kat? Where did you get the firmware from? I'm not sure why you are rebooting...trying to figure it out.
Maybe try upgrading TWRP to a more recent version.

Try odin flashing twrp and then booting into recovery and flashing a ROM
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Edit still not fixed. I took it to a repair shot and they changed out the power button and that still didn't fix the problem.
I use to think it was a hardware issue but now I think its a software issue. When I got the phone it had knox 0x1(3) so I think someone messed up the software on the phone and its restarting because its unstable.
Here is what I tried to do so far and nothing has changed still reboots either half way during boot or once booted all the way just restarts by itself.
Odin stock cod6 firmware (fails)
Kies firmware recovery
Odin twrp 2.8.7 with root and pop rocks rom.
twrp recovery wipe and factory reset
Nothing works
Are you sure it isn't the t3 variant? Normal note 4 n910t roms will not work on it.
Try a different battery i had the same problem with and s3 couple years ago phone will power on and die during boot i though it was because it was rood and had a custom recovery I had a back up from TWRP I did a restor and didn't fix any so i flash the latest official firmware from samsung and still had the problem then I decided to switch the battery from an other s3 and the then it got fix and the other s3 star doing the shot off act is worth trying
Also if the phone was running fine before what was is on so you can tell what model you have and how long you friend had it the SM-N910T came with 4.4.4 and so far can only be update to 5.0.1 officially and a SM-N910T3 is a much more recent variant and it came out the box with 5.1.1 and the box should show SM-N910T3 so if he had it with 4.4.4 or 5.0.1 before any root or custom rom is a SM-N910T and if you didnt flash the bootloader for lollipop and still on 4.4.4 you may get problem like those too
ensure you are on Either T3 or T there are two models of this phone now. ...
Some things I noticed wasn't asked.
Have you tried a new sim card?
Is there a MicroSD Card in it? Take it out and see what happens?
Those may seem unrelated but I have had those symptoms with other devices because each of those.
Also when using ODIN, try different usb ports if a flash fails the first time. I've been in your position before and such a seemingly simple thing made all the difference.

Hi, My note is stuck at boot screen after the official OTA update. I tried googling but most seems to pertain to Rooted/flashed phones.
Mine is a new note which has not been rooted at all in the past. I downloaded to OTA update and it has been stuck at the bootscreen for the past few hours.
Any help appreciated!
1. Try pulling out the battery for a few minutes.
2. Boot into recovery mode and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
should i also wipe the data/factory reset in recovery mode?
No. God forbid, then you might end up with a superbrick
Thanks for your help

Keep them pressed for 3 seconds more then you end up to recovery. They need to be pressed while booting the device from reboot or off state, then you will end up in recovery or download mode.

Yesterday, I received an OTA on my galaxy note and now it is also stuck in boot screen with the breathing samsung logo.
I tried to go into recovery mode using the 3 button combo, but it wouldnt enter into recovery mode. I get the green android logo with wire mesh and the phone reboots.
Can someone help me to boot my phone?
Got mine backup and running after OTA update gave me Samsung logo freeze issue
So after the 7MB OTA stability patch mine too was stuck on samsung logo.
Kies wouldn't recover it and putting into download mode or recovery mode didn't help. I too tried to go into recovery mode using the 3 button combo, but it wouldnt enter into recovery mode. I get the green android logo with wire mesh and the phone reboots but i didn't at the time try for 3 more seconds.
I then used ODIN and applied a downloaded Aussie Gingerbread ROM as i couldn't find Aussie ICS ROM. With my plan to do a Kies/wifi update to ICS. This caused acore and other processes to crash every few seconds. I then did a factory reset which got it stable and then tried to update to ICS but the phone said there were no updates available. Then I applied the international ICS using ODIN so i'm back were i was two days ago before the stupid 7MB patch.
Unfortunately, I don't think i can get anymore OTA updates but after the 7MB one i don't think i want to.
Long story short i think you should be able to go into recovery mode do a factory reset and it should be OK.

ODIN voids warranty?
I have the same issue after receiving 7MB OTA update. I am unable to go into recovery mode(same green robot and wire mesh etc...), so i am going to use ODIN method... but will flashing stock ROM using ODIN void my warranty?? I am not rooted.

Thanks.... but this is my aunt's phone, so rooting is not an option. I use HTC Hero... and we have RUU which we run on the PC and everything is restored to stock.... it removes root if you have it and also runs without root. Is there anything similar for samsung devices?
Also, now I am considering going for warranty repair... didnt want to do that at first as i have a really bad experience with HTC service centers... now lets see what samsung does..!!
Same problem here please find a fix!!

You don't need root to flash stock with PC Odin, and flashing any stock does not affect warranty. To use Odin you need phone in download mode (vol down, home and power until reboot into download)

Just flash it using the same os version you already have installed in my case I had the same problem with this little ota update and I've just flash it with the same ics version that was installed and my phone was back with all my stuff and rooted... once you finish doing the re flash you'll get an on screen message saying "Fail to update try using samsung kies on your computer" or something like that...
Thanks... but I went for warranty repair .. and I got it back in 2 hours..... unfortunately I lost all my data .. even on external partition. Now it is on ICS and still I have a notification for available update ... which I wont do.
Anyone has had success with that update?

I was installing the DA Statusbar mod. Before I did that I back up my phone using CWM and Titanium Backup.
installed with no problems, I then rebooted. Home screen froze for a second and then showed me that my system.ui crashed. It kept doing that for a good 5 minutes. I decided to go back into CWM and restore my last saved state. I recieved an error installing the back ups (I have made 5 so far).
Now I don't really know what to do. I know I have to basically start from the beginning via flashing stock rom on odin. But how would I go about doing that? I can't seem to find the thread that explains this. =/
Thanks in advanced
SOLUTION HERE
You need to be much more specific. What's your recovery version? How did you backup/restore? Have you done this before? What's the error?
Use the unified tool kit to flash the stock rom.
I strangely cannot find a thread for the 9305 for stock roms =\
The stock firmware can be found on sammobile
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium
To shorten the question and answers... If you could still boot to Download mode.
Flash your stock original firmware trhu Odin on your pc or download an exact model for your phone in SamMobile. From there you start a new... Root then re flash the cwm and so on...
If I understand this right you can boot to cwm and you can boot into the phone but the systemui fcs.
You can do a couple things here without having to reflash anything through odin. If you have your original systemui on the phone somewhere you can try and navigate to it with a root explorer then copy it into your system/app reboot and it should be as before, this can be tricky with constant fc's.
If you have a zip which has a systemui in it you can flash that in cwm and should fix the problem.
If you have a custom rom on your phone you can boot into cwm and flash it.
The fact that you have access to cwm and the phone boots but the systemui constantly fc's making the phone unusable means you have more options and quicker ways to get your phone working then going back to scratch and flashing a rom through odin

Solution.
Basically I got stuck at the samsung boot logo for ages.
I am running CWM v5.5.0.4. I have done this before, sorry I wasn't specific, I was trying to multitask. I've attached a screenshot of my phone info for everyone to see.
1. I wiped data/factory reset.
2. Wiped cache partition.
3. Wiped Dalvik Cache
4. Battery Stats
Rebooted, still no luck.
I went into Download mode.
Opened Odin.
Downloaded " Param_Bin_I9305.zip - 612.14 KB" located in this post
Followed the instructions in that post.
rebooted.
Thought it didn't work but my capacitive buttons lit up. SUCCESS!
Saw my homescreen, I thought I would have needed to root again but I managed to get into CWM after rebooting.
I downloaded root checker....I saw that I still had root access.
Installed Pandoriam v6.
Now I am back to normal.
My CWM backup didn't save me, I don't really know why. Maybe I was using it wrong? The thing is It's worked with me in the past, but not on this device.
Is there anyone that could shed light on that issue? I'll try and back it up again. Do I need to repeat the backup more than a few times to register it to the device?
Not sure if this is the right place or not but seems to be a similar situation.
I have a month old S3 LTE that came with 4.1.2 . It has not been rooted or had anything done to it at all.
I found a thread that shows you how to unlock it but was not getting the final option . This I understood was because some of these phones needed to be downgraded .
I saw a procedure using odin and looked for a similar rom on Sammobile but could not see any for Orange UK so picked a random 4.1.1 Rom and flashed it.
This left me with a glowing Samsung boot screen so I tried another ROM and another ROM and finally when giving up choose a current 4.1.2 Rom for EE but that too is stuck at the same place.
Can you help me work out where I am or have been going wrong please?
The Phone is from Orange UK ( EE ) but there was no branding on it .
i also neglected to note the Rom that was on it
if you read the guides you will find out that you need to factory reset after flashing
Unfortunately as the phone is sitting at a glowing Samsung logo, I cannot factory reset. In fact I cannot do anything except keep throwing Roms at it, unless you have any other suggestions?

Hi Guys
Brief background.
UK Galaxy Note GT N7000 - On Orange Network
Updated to stock JB 4.1.2 yesterday.
Decided I didn't like the battery drain so rooted and installed custom ROM.
Decided I didn't like the ROM so tried to go back to stock ROM and it wouldn't work.
Messed mobile up trying to fix things in a panic.
Current situation:
Phone only gets to the Samsung Galaxy Note text when trying to boot. Goes away for a second or two and then just loops over with the text.
I can go into Download mode. Can't go into CWM recovery though.
I can connect to ODIN - but whenever I try to reflash with a stock ROM it just seems to freeze on cache.img
Can anyone tell me how to fix or if it is completely dead?
Many thanks
P.S In the screenshot I also tried the Voda phone Stock Rom but it is the same on the other ROMs I have tried.
Try to flash again using the original pit file and rom. If still the same try using a different rom.
Sometime it stuck at cache.img. i mistaken unpluged device while it stuck and got soft brick. Tried again and it work, but just wait too long. Guess u should wait for that cache.img more longer

So twrp flashed right? Now just transfer any custom ROM of your choice to your tab s and flash it in twrp. That should get you back and running.

You can flash another firmware with Odin. Or you can download this zip and boot into recovery and transfer this zip which you can download. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59164015
Just factory reset in twrp and install the zip.

Thing is your problem has been covered a million times with the solution posted just as many times. there's no need for repeat threads.
The little search button is your friend or even read the actual lollipop thread.
I advise any happy flashers out there to read the WHOLE thread, skim reading will land you in trouble.
I just got a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 from a friend of mine and there has been some serious reboots/random reboots on it. It was on 5.1.1 last I checked.
Issue:
-On stock battery, it still reboots. Using Anker right now and worked for a few minutes
-When I install an app or disable an app, it freezes then reboots--- when rebooted, it doesn't pass the note 4 logo, just keeps looping
Here's what I've done so far:
-Looked all over google and XDA threads (no bueno)
-Turned off Reactivation
-Deleted Cache/FOomat Data
1. Reflashed 5.1.1 firmware using odin= failed emmc: ABOOT
2. Reflashed using Kies 3.X via Emergency update/initialize. Waited a few minutes to place battery. It booted up!
2a. Ok, so it was working. BUT every time I install an app or disable an app, it freezes and I end up having to reflash via Kies.
Here's what I'm planning to do next.
-When my sim unlock code arrives, I'll unlock it, then the moment it is unlocked I'll flash TWRP and CM13, which I did before hand-but wouldn't boot for some reason... but maybe this time i'll have some luck
-I've only been able to flash using odin with the CF-Auto root, but not the AP file for 5.1.1 or 5.0.1, or NK4 4.4. (I'm downloading the oldest KK version to see if that works later)
What could possibly be the problem?
-Maybe failing hardware?
-Write issue?
-Is it the battery? but I've tried a new stock, and a new anker? loose wiring?
-T-mobile OTA update? Samsung Update?
I can't return it to Samsung or T-mobile since my friend gave it to me, his AT&T version works fine, just not this...
Calling all Note 4 Devs support out there! Please help, I'm thoroughly lost as a lvl.70 Android modder/enthusiast.
I'm having same issue and I've done pretty much the steps you've done. My issue is even more cuz I successfully flashed back to latest DOK2 my device was at 72 percent but kept rebooting at setup screen . so I left it alone for 2 weeks . now I saw yesterday they had ported MM so I rooted odined latest twrp and installed MM that took so long to boot it drained my 72% . now the device wont charge even turned off .
