I sent my phone into Samsung for a repair and they replaced the motherboard, the screen almost a whole new phone. When it was returned they had already downloaded lollipop which towelroot would not work. Found a site that showed me how to downgrade back to kitkat root, install safestrap and I could return to lollipop. I never did the lollipop part as I did not like it much. It worked great at first I was able to return back all my data. After a week it begin to act funny, not wanting to wake up from sleep and then slowly apps begin crashing and not working. I would restart my phone and things were fine. Another week apps were crashing left and right and then my data begin disappearing like my messages and the levels of my saved games. Then it begin restarting on its own 3 times during the night. I tried to reinstall the rom and re-partitioned the phone and did factory reset but it continues to periodically restart even though I have given up on reinstalling my data since it factory resets on its own. I guess I am in a very slow bootloop. Can anyone suggest what I can do? Thanks in advance

When you downgrade to KitKat did you use an All-In-One Odin file which went in the AP Slot? If you did, then Flash all four Odin files for NC2 (KitKat) BL https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891602 AP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891890 CP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891603 CSC https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891604 Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3109599&d=1420980613 That will put you back on stock Kitkat and just root with Towelroot.

When I downgraded I did use an all in one but later when I realized it was all bad and reinstalled the rom I did it both ways. Used an all in one and then did it with the four individual files. It still has the problem, it will be working fine then suddenly freeze and the phone will auto reboot. Is there a way to clean it all out then try to stock rom. I am concerned that there is something lingering causing this problem. I did clear the cache several times but it does not help.

After you put all four files in Odin, go to Options and check Nand Erase All (picture 1). Then Once phone reboots, power off and go into stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset, then do wipe cache partition (picture 2).
Awesome Thanks!

I did exactly what you said, put the files in Odin and selected the Nand Erase. It loaded rebooted, then I powered off went into recovery mode did a wipe data and then wiped cache. Turned on well, looked good but in the middle of restoring my texts and contacts through Kies it shut down restarted and now getting the same kind of messages that various apps and processes have stopped. It literally is now popping up with so many messages that one thing or another has stopped that I can not even select to restart the phone. This is crazy. I don't know what else to fix. The phone got a new motherboard so what else could be causing this craziness Any help you can provide or light on the subject is very appreciated.

If you didn't root it yet, then do a wipe data/factory reset, then do wipe cache partition in recovery and don't restore anything with Kies and see what happens. If everything works great then, then you know it's Kies messing up your phone.

So it is taking longer and I don't get the message that apps have stopped because there are no updated apps since I did not connect to the play store but after a while like before it is freezing and restarting. So it is back to the original problem of being a slow bootloop. Sorry it is being a pain.

When I first got it back it started right up and it was on lollipop. I went to restore my stuff through titanium backup but realized that I could not root it with Towelroot. I kept the phone like it was for a two days and I don't believe I had any real problems. Nothing I noticed but I did not have all my data completely back. I read up on downgrading my phone back to kitkat in order to root and it also had the option to re upgrage to lollipop and keep the root but I did not like the look and feel of lollipop so I kept it at kitkat. Although I did install the safetstrap program like suggested but never used it, could that be causing the problem? I restored my data and things were just fine for about a week. Then it slowly started having problems being difficult to wake up, then apps crashing, to data disappearing then finally restarting on its own over and over. This process of breakdown took about three weeks. I was concerned that my data could have been the problem so when I restored the ROM the first time and wiped it clean I hope that would take care of the problem but like what happened today it still begin the out of the blue restart for no reason. I would not be using the phone or anything, it would just restart on its own.

Safestrap will keep your stock recovery from booting up if Kies needs it to. After you had Safestrap on it did you use any Odin files (not the "all-in-one" as it will not wipe your phone)?

Sorry it took me so long to respond to your question. No I followed the process from the below website. After I installed safestrap, SuperSU , Busybox and towel root, I just connected to Kies reinstalled most of my data then used Titanium backup to install my games levels. I did not follow the process to bring it back to lollipop.

Everything looks good. Where you on NC2 when you did your backup with Kies (with the old motherboard)? Because there is NJ 5 and NL1 which are Kitkat too.

I don't remember what it was before. When I got my phone before I only needed to install towelroot and moved everything over. I never paid attention to which version of kitkat I was on. Hindsight I probably should have but I only remember being on Kitkat and not the specifics.

If you only installed Towelroot, then you was on NC2. This is up to you, if you want to. But I would Odin the [100% Stock] Lollipop 5.0 (N900AUCUEOC1) Odin Tars http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/100-stock-lollipop-5-0-n900aucueoc1-t3069609 (the Individual/Wipe Tars ones) and then upgrade it to OC2 (though phone) and see if it gives you any problems. If it does, I would say that motherboard is the problem then. If there is no problems, you can always Odin back to NC2. Or if you want, install Busybox, supersu and Safestrap on what you have now and put your backup from Titanium and Kies on your phone and then boot into Safestrap and tap WIPE > ADVANCE WIPE > DALVIK CACHE and swipe to wipe. Then ADVANCE > FIX PERMISSIONS > swipe to confirm.

Hey guys after installing 2.2 I rooted my phone again and put the lag fix back on for obvious reasons.
The problem is the lag fix party didn't go so well and completely messed up my phone. I tried taking the lag fix back off but it kept saying it failed...
I went into recovery mode and wiped my sd card and did a factory reset. The phone started working right again and my su had gone.
The thing is though that there was still a folder in my files called templagfix. I deleted this folder and did a battery pull.
so... Will the sd card wipe and factory reset in recovery mode have taken the root and lag fix off properly?
i think you should normally do a Re-Flash of the Firmware you use to made a clean Build

I used the kies registry hack so it just says latest version already installed.
Hello everyone,
I've been literally 12 hours searching for possible answers on how to repair my Galaxy Note N7000 which from what I've concluded, has a problem that can be easily repaired but I've found nothing but limitations when I have a go at it. It doesn't seem to be bricked as I can still access recovery mode, download mode and it effectively boots, it's only giving me errors.
Here's what happened:
1) I tried rooting it using UnlockRoot PRO. Paid the PRO version, detected the device. Later I find it says the N7000 with 4.1.2 is not compatible so the rooting process was never completed, so I rooted it using Root_SuperSU.0.95.Only-signed and it worked just fine.
2) Everything worked fine, downloaded Andromizer to customize the phone.
3) Changed the DPI size to test it, then went to Developer Options and changed the Animation scales to 0.5 to make it all run faster.
4) Rebooted the device. Once I did, I got nothing but "SystemUI has stopped working" together with "TouchWiz home has stopped working errors".
I checked around the web and so far, what I've found (and tried) is this:
1) There seems to be a bug related to TouchWiz and the Animation Scale option (or perhaps the DPI size option in Andromizer). So I tried to do a wipe data / factory reset through recovery mode.
2) When trying the wipe data / factory reset through recovery mode, I rebooted the phone, only to find the SAME errors after I registered everything.
3) First option that came to mind was to wipe everything and immediatly reinstall the Official JellyBean 4.1.2 firmware (at this point I want to pretty much unroot the device as I didn't know it was going to give me so much trouble). When I tried that, I realized that SUDDENLY, Odin (nor Heimdall) are NOT detecting the phone in download mode. I'm guessing it's because USB Debugging is turned off but, I can't access the phone settings. It's my only logical conclusion, although it should be turned on given I could install PhilZ Custom Recovery later.
4) I search around the web and it says it's a driver problem. So I uninstall everything, run CCleaner, USBDeview to uninstall everything related to the Samsung Galaxy. Reboot. Install drivers again. Reboot. Plug booted phone and let Windows detect the device, installed successfully. Reboot in download mode. Let windows detect the device, installed successfully. Run Odin: DEVICE NOT DETECTED. (It does detect it while it's booted though, only it doesn't work for **** obviously).
I've literally tried everything. I've tried checking for a way to install the firmware via Recovery Mode instead of Download Mode. I've tried checking for a way to remotely access the device and mod the settings from there using ADB, and I get the same problem in ADB, doesn't detect the device.
Also tried to reset settings to normal via PhilZ Custom Recovery which I managed to install later.
Isn't there just a way to reset all settings to normal? Shouldn't a factory reset do this? How can I get SOMETHING to work and try to recover the phone? Any Aroma Recovery Script? Any way to mess with the system folder and modify settings manually via notepad or something since due to the SystemUI / TouchWiz home errors I can't access the phone settings?
I'm barely awake at this point. Can't believe I've stressed myself this much. Please help. This is beyond retarded.
Thank you,
Z
i had the same exact problem just few hours ago.....first of all you should boot into recovery mood by pressing vol up+ home button+lock button until samsung logo shows and then wipe all data/factory reset and wipe all cache partitions..........if that didnt fix it you should try rerooting it againg after re wiping
I read the post but it seems you have done a lot of things and nothing worked. So what is the situation right now? You can boot as normal but cannot get any icons or settings as sysUI and TW crashes?
Try installing GB ROM then wipe/cache first. If good, root GB ROM then do full wipe. Then test ROM for crashing.
If good then install JB rom and test. Let us know.
unable to enter phone setting ？ then just simply look for a secsetting.apk for ur version then replace it n set the permission rw-r--r--

Bwahahah, now I see why you guys enjoy calling newcomers "noobs".
It was a computer problem. I just reinstalled JB 4.1.2 from my netbook and it worked.
Weird as hell though, given that I updated my GT-N7000 to JB 4.1.2 through Odin in this computer and it never gave me any problems.
I AM going to learn some ADB / Android SDK though. I'd rather learn everything before something like this happens to me again.
I appreciate everyone's concern, and thank you all for it.
nice to hear that you had this one fixed
Glad to hear its working now.

I have tried to upgrade my touchwiz to the new one, but got the danger message, would clearing the cache help?
Sent from my SM-N910C using Tapatalk
Rooted, Bootloader unlocked, TWRP installed, Xposed Running. 5.0 - I did not yet update or press update ever, If I have ever accidentally allowed it to begin downloading I kill the download by deleting the file using SDMaid.
I got home, had problems with other devices, phone was on about 40% at this point. I remember hearing the phone reboot, I noticed it went into TWRP, which was strange, I restarted system > powered up > lockscreen > restart to twrp with no interaction. Phone is now getting low 21%ish. Fix permissions - because used to be the all out fix on my other devices.
Same thing again > straight into twrp.
I notice that some scripts have been ran in the twrp console. Something along the lines of Victara_en_US.zip Some red scripts I assume saying failed to update.
I assume the phone is now too low to power up.
It shows no sign of charging since leaving the last twrp reboot.
Green light in top speaker shows when attempting to power up with usb charger plugged in > nothing else happens.
With charger unplugged from phone I see my modified logo screen and the moto planet spinning before phone turns off completely. This process now repeats.
Anyone have any idea what the hell is wrong with my phone?

Get your phone into TWRP and connect it to your charger and let it charge to at least 70% Use Advanced Wipe in TWRP, select Cache and wipe that. Then see if your phone will start normally. Somehow you have downloaded the update file and it is trying to run automatically. Since your phone is modified, the update fails (and nothing is updated or changed.) The update file is in /cache so wiping that should correct the problem. You should go ahead and update to the Stagefright patched version of your ROM so you aren't having to deny the factory update all the time.

Phone still boots to a black screen. I don't understand why it would download the update let alone attempt to install it, I religiously deny the update. Also why would it have booted up normally then forced itself into TWRP? :S
What can I next? I dont mind wiping using fastboot as I managed to take all my files off the phone via twrp.
This happened to me a couple times but wiping the cache AND the dalvik cache fixed it. If it still doesn't work, I hope you have a backup because you are going to have to wipe the system and data next. Sometimes these updates like to link themselves to all the phone's partitions, and in that case you should wipe everything and restore your full system and data backup in recovery.

I wiped both the first time I tried it :-/
I don't have a system backup as a far as I am aware, need to check main pc for something like that. I had a lot of trouble with no signal after changing my phone to x1095 so I could root it etc. Just hope I don't have the same trouble again. Can i reinstall the system through twrp? Or do I need to flash via fastboot?
Whats my best option, system files wise, for fixing this?

If you dont have a backup, at this point, I don't see any other options besides formatting your data or flashing the stock firmware. Of course, don't just take my word for it, but in the future just make sure you have a working backup available.

Am I able to flash anything other than the stock 5.0? Last I checked I had converted whatever I had to the x1095. I remember everything being easier on other phones...
Yes, you can, just make sure you have the right file for the job. They are usually about 2 gigs, and they take forever to flash. Note that once you flash the file, your phone will be as if you just bought it from the store, but it always will boot if you have the corresponding build.

In TWRP, make a backup now even though it may not be useful depending on what the problem is. Then, use advanced wipe in TWRP and wipe data. If the phone will boot now, something got corrupted in data and you'll just need to set your phone up again. If the problem continues, you'll have to flash your system image. How to do this varies with the model of your phone; some models have TWRP images, others need to use fastboot files. After you flash the new system image, you can either just continue to clean setup the phone, or you can try to restore only data from the backup you made previously.

Does that include 5.1 roms? I can never seem to find x1095 5.1 roms, or anything for that matter, they are all titled with every other version.

How do I gain root from here? My superuser app updated and now tells me I have no binary, despite telling me to flash something only 5 minutes prior.

So you don't have root? I would suggest rooting using towelroot. Go online and search "towelroot" click on the first result, click on the lambda to download the apk, and install it. You can then open the app, and press "make it ra1n" to root your device without any reboot needed.
I had root prior to wiping and installing the 5.1 update that was linked to me. Towelroot gives me the phone not supported message.

Towel root does not work in 5.1.
To root just flash TWRP. Start TWRP. When you exit TWRP it will ask you if you want to root it. Simple.

I'm still in the "phone not responding" phase.. how did you manage to get in the bootloader from there? Tnx!
I found a chainfire autoroot IMG that rooted my phone. Found xposed too. I'm back at a fully working phone now, thank you to all who helped me.
Gotta say, the battery life on 5.1 is a hell of a lot better.

As in you can't get it to fastboot?
I left it to charge for a while, then took about 5 minutes attempting the power button volume button combo to restart and get it into fastboot.
I believe that it's something like:
Power + vol down until the phone screen flashes/green light goes off
Then
Still holding the power and volume down
Hold the vol up too
Then release the power still holding the vol up and down.
That's what worked for me. It's literally the most awkward phone I've had go button combos.
I think vol up from powered off works too.
If you mess up just hold the power and vol down again.

Alright so I recently got a unlocked note 4 (N910T) and after i upgraded to marshmallow the phone began to reboot at least three times a day. I had a micro sd card in there and took it out for several days. That didn't fix it. I flashed the original rom but that still didn't fix it. So downgraded to stock 5.1.1. Doesn't reboot as much but still freezes and gets really hot. I also got a new battery just in case that the battery was the problem. I've wiped the cache partition and did factory data reset. I've tried everything but it still keeps rebooting constantly even when I'm not using the phone. Any advice because to fix rebooting and freezing it is a real annoyance.

Dont get his hopes up though. High chance it will not work as there might be an internal issue with the note 4

I am experiencing the same issues with my T-mobile Note 4. It started while running my stock 5.0.1 rooted with TWRP. i've had it for a year and half working GREAT, but last Thursday the whole slow, freezing and rebooting started all of a sudden.
Do you really think that it might be something physical with the phone?

My response to this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68559388&postcount=90
I tried what Trex888 recommended but it didn't resolve my issues http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68500780&postcount=96
I wasted many hours trying to troubleshoot with no ultimate success (monkeyass408 went thru similar issues). I'd recommend looking for a replacement device.
The note 4 will start to fall apart. Mine has and I've had it since OCT of the year the phone came out (14,15?) Battery dies randomly. I connect to charger and all the sudden it has 25% have two batteries. My camera can no longer focus. I am using this device as a backup because my s7 edge has a busted screen.

I too have had this problem of interface freezes, crashes, reboots. I'm using Nova on Tekhd rom 7.4. Clearing cache and dalvik/art helped A LOT for a few days and it doesn't happen as often now, but it is depressing to see it happen at all after months of rock solid stability. It often froze with the stock music player going with screen locked so that may be related to the problem.
The way the interface reboots appeared suddenly made me suspect an app update somewhere, not failing hardware. The fact that clearing the dalvik helped supports this notion. On my phone at least everything works well including batteries (I have 3) and charging. It could be different problems for people reporting these issues, some hardware related. I have considered reformatting my 200gb sdcard, but after clearing dalvik it happens so infrequently that I haven't bothered.

didnt work for me...lovely.
Edit: as soon as a posted it...it came up, wtf.
So first off thanks for reading and trying to help.
I am having the following problem:
First of no updates were installed recently. I did update to the latest December update in early January.
Few days ago my phone SM-N910T froze up and seemed to have shut down. After being unable to restart i pulled the battery, put it back in and nothing happened. I left it out for 5 minutes plugged it back in and the phone booted up. But as soon as the screen turned off the phone heated up and would not turn on. I've been dying to just start anew anyway so I tried using Kies to restore the phone however this failed twice.
I downloaded Odin and Stock N910T3UVS3EPK2.
I flashed TWRP Recovery. And then tried to Flash the firmware which failed several times and i started getting errors.
“Could not do normal boot, mmc_read failed”
Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
as well as others.
After rebooting it several times it started working I was able to log in and set everything up, but the phone started freezing up again.
I blew everything away did a Data Wipe in TWRP. I then downloaded N910T3UVS3EPK2 Stock Rooted Odex from here.
When trying to flash it, it failed several times. and i started getting No Pit Binary errors. After trying several times with different cables and USB ports it finally took. But i am still having the same problems with freezing and restarting.
THE ONLY THING THAT HELPED: And this is a band aid fix, is I installed the wake lock app from the google store and enable Partial Wake Lock.
The phone is stable but only until i restart it at which point it goes into Download Mode and i have to restart several times and prey it boots up.
HALP! :crying:
I had the same problem, and MANY MANY others have this issue too. For months i fought with it without any success. I ordered new motherboard and now my phone is working again.
Please check General forum. There is a big thread about installing KitKat from another phone which apparently fixed this issue. Dig around that thread and read about it, might be a solution!

I saw that thread, but most of those people started having the issue after the update. If the kit kat update fixes it then i'm at a loss. And since a new board fixed the issue for you that means most likely the the memory is beginning to fail. That's how SSDs die anyway.

Do you have "T3"or "T" model?
The files given below is for "T" variant do not try if you have T3.
It sounds crazy to tell you but trust me this will work.
Put your phone in freezer for about 2 hours then do the steps below if you want to recover your device as it was before.
Go to download mode
Flash 5.0.1 modem via odin choose (CP) tab this will fix emmc read fail error.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347820086
Dont reboot to system go to download mode again.
Then flash full 5.1.1 lollipop ok1 firmware
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312968873555011894
.once it pass dont let the phone reboot.
Go to stock recovery and wipe cache & data factory reset.
Reboot wait 10 minutes dont touch anything let the phone rest.
Complete setup and dont download anything any apps go to software update and take all marshmallow ota updates.
Once finish do factory reset again and you will get clean operating system without any issues.

I have the " T " variant
I've read this before. I am a logical person I want to understand why this would work. Also when placing the phone in the freezer (i feel like i'm being pranked) do i place it in there with the battery?
I will definitely try this since I have nothing to lose. But i have a phone heavy next few weeks and i don't have a backup

Without battery in freezer.
No idea how it works but good thing is hopefully it will work cuz lot of users even recover their hard bricked devices by this.
As you said you have nothing to lose so give it a try and make sure be patient dont give up and do this when you have enough time to do at least couple of hours.
I should mention that I had an 'injured' 910t after upgrading, and the freezer thing worked for months. I think there is a thermal issue and something is physically getting de-soldered in the motherboard. @Trex888, I will try your fix - I got a NEW Note4 2 weeks ago and it is running 5.0.1 and it bricked....
IF ANY OTHER COMPANY SOLD A PHONE WITH STYLUS, i WOULD TOSS THE NOTE4 IN THE TRASH....

so wait the freezer thing was not even a permanent fix?
No, the freezer sometimes helps you get a bricked device so that it turns on. It doesn't fix thermal issues. I believe it helps some electrical connection that has broken come into contact again.
I can't go to download mode or recovery. I tried both ways But there is no way to use my device.

So i recently had a baby, thus i had no time at all to get my phone to work. WakeLock app was working alright.
But last night the phone just died. all attempts to revive failed. I left it in the freezer until the morning and it booted up but quickly locked up after about 5 minutes of use and became unresponsive.
I tried your method.
I failed right away. Modem could not be written..
I tried flashing the pit files like i did previously and that failed as well.
Any suggestions are appreciated. I am phoneless
EDIT#2: After I left the phone in the freezer for longer (3 hours). The odin firmware update went through !!!! This furtherst i've gone so far.
I went into recovery and did everything you said.
BUT now i have Kernel Panic Upload Mode on my screen with a little green android
EDit#3 few battery pulls later. And an over 15 minute wait time on the android logo and then about the same on the t-mobile logo i got into the OS. I did the OTA update, the phone heated up and a few restarts later it froze up like it did previously
Back to square 1
EDIT: THIS helped for a few days
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/ddi-mmcread-failed-boot-error-fix-t3434335
Day 2: and all went back to the phone not waking up and after screen is turned off
