Anyone have any thoughts on what might be going on with my note? i was coming from tekxodus rom back to a stock firmware and now i cant seem to get out of this bootloop. i downloaded firmware and flashed it using odin... it passed. then just goes from samsung note 4 logo to samsung circle logo to tmobile freezes for 3 minutes then repeats. Its odd
That happened to me as well. I had forgotten to turn on OEM unlock. Pull battery and renter download mode. Use Odin to reinstall TWRP then restore a backup. Turn on OEM unlock and then flash the firmware again with Odin
i happened to me going from cog2 to dok2. i was not planning to stay unrooted on stock.
i pulled battery.. flashed twrp... pulled battery... then flashed a rooted rom and all was well with the world.
i assumed it was because i did not unroot and do full internal wipe.. but then as i was mostly just updating baseband i did not do any further troubleshooting
Ok im going to flash old one unlock oem and get back to you guys
didnt work tried two roms on 5.1.1 both didnt have oem unlock inside developer options so weird. then i when to twrp hit factory reset then flashed firmware and that worked. im glad i lucked out with that method weird how you have to factory reset to flash an entirely new firmware you would think the script running would do that.
Glad you got it working. I thought Odin wiped everything including internal storage but it did not. When I flashed the stock firmware I still had my settings and storage was untouched. Not what I remember from my Note 3 days

Hello everyone.
I just got my dad's old Galaxy not n7000. It had android ICS 4.0.3 on it.
I wanted to install a custom rom, so i rooted and installed one, but it got stuck on boot loop, though i followed all steps properly.
I restored back to the stock 4.0.3 using odin. After restoring, the lock screen would not show, nor would it detect my sim card. i couldn't fix it in the phone options. I googled the problem and it told me to check my imei. My phone didn't have one. I decided to try and install another custom rom, but it didn't work, went into bootloop again. I tried another, same thing. So i decided i would just update my phone to the official 4.1.2 update released in UK using odin.
but again went into bootloop. i restored it to 4.0.3 and it worked. However, when i went into recovery while in 4.1.2, a red error showed saying :failed to mount /efs.
Something is seriously wrong and i need help.
Thanks in advance.
Also I should note that, couple of years ago, there was an official update released by samsung, but that too made the phone go into a boot loop. we had to recover it using odin.
HI all,
Today I decide to update my i9305t to the 4.3 rom. I unrooted my phone and reset the custom counter and all was good. I flashed the telstra rom and all was good. Because of the locked dock Icons I thought I would flash a different unbranded rom. During the installation (via odin) it went skew if and froze. It sat there for ages but I ended up having to do a battery pull.
When I went to the download menu on the phone, knox had been tripped and there was 47 instances. Any way I reflashed the telstra firmware. It passed but now the phone gets stuck on the Samsung logo.
OK now I have already.....
Pulled the battery.
Removed all cards sim and sd.
Restored different firmwares.
factory reset, clear cahce etc.
Installed custom recovery and cleared devalk cache.
Googled for similar events.
Nothing I have read has worked.
I cant think of what else to do. When I restore a firmware via odin everything is OK, it passes but on the reboot it just stops at Samsung logo and goes no further.
I gather that because the phone can still get into recovery and download mode there must be something can sort this out.
Thanks in advance.
flash the original firmware from samsung.....the 4.3 since you updated it...
after it finishes and reboots it will enter a boot loop....IT'S NORMAL.....pull out the battery and start the phone in recovery mode(stock one) and do a wipe data - factory reset and wipe cache partition...it should work without a problem...did this many times...
after you updated to 4.3 you should have done a full wipe...

Yeah I have done that. I have tried it about 10 times. Im going to give it another bash today as I am stuck using my wife's old Iphone and its horrendous.
try installing your firmware with a .PIT file and check repartition box...search for the pit file....
if this doesn't work i suggest going to local repair shop and let them have a look...
maybe something got broke when you flashed the unbranded firmware...

Thanks for the info. Im unsure what a PIT file is. Are they phone specific or just model specific.

Found the pit file and read up on it. Tried to use it but it fails as soon as it starts.
Best of luck
Well I was in the same pickle
whicever 4.3 rom i flashed through odin i got stuck in boot logo or even if i recovered device from odin through emergency frimware and intillation
Also tried customs 4.3 roms stuck a boot logo
Here what u should try and what i did
1 flash philz recovery + 4.1.2 rom
if it works back up efs
2 Using Philz recovery wipe data factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache
3 in mount and storage section format everything ( THINK THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP )
4 Used odin to flash a 4.3 stock package it worked ( note u may get knox from this u may try a modifed stock package if u dont have knox and dont want to get it )

Knox was tripped when the firmware install crashed. So knox tripping is no issue. Thanks for the information. I will have a go tommorrow.
I did manage to restore a cm9 backup but my IMEI is now gone and I cant get to the menu to restore my back up. Seems like Samsung has done a number on my phone. In all the years ive been fingering phones with custom firmware and modding I have never had anything stuff up this bad. Its rather amusing that it has happened flashing a stock rom that belongs to my phone.

It happened to me once, i found that 4.3 won't boot if baseband and imei are unknown. when you were trying to flash with odin and your phone got stuck it probably has damaged or ( erased ) your imei partition. try flashing 4.1.1 ( the package file without bootloader files ) it will definitely work for you. the reason is simple , Samsung's stock 4.3 never boots if the imei is corrupt or unknown (baseband is then usually too ) so, flash 4.1.1 , root your phone and install Persus kernel +any modem / baseband file, this is the only solution as i dont know how but does repair your imei , but you will be stuck at 4.1.1.
I was on EKXodus N4 5.1.1 URv5 N5R5 ROM, but then I decided to go back to stock because I experience heavy lag in that ROM.
I had COG2 on my computer, so I booted my phone into download mode, opened Odin, and flashed COG2.
When I tried to turn it on, it was stuck on the T-Mobile logo when I boot on.
At that point, I flashed CF Auto Root and TWRP, and tried to restore my phone(I made a backup)
But something went wrong, it showed it couldn't normal boot, either that, or it's stuck in recovery mode when booting on.
So basically I went back and forth between stock and custom, and constant flashing of root and TWRP.
Now, I finally get it to turn on, but it's on EKXodus N4 5.1.1 URv5 N5R5.
TLTR: My IMEI is unknown, and I couldn't get signal on my phone.
Plz help me T.T
As I understand that version of the rom might have been built with the new baseband (DOK2) so when you tried to install the one you had previously (COG2) it failed, my advice would be to try flashing the new version (N910TUVU2DOK2) and see if it fixes your IMEI issues. Before doing all of this verify the version you need (N910T or N910T3) to prevent any issues.
try with kies 3
Try to use emergency firmware recovery option from kies3
but first make a full wipe on twrp data,cache,dalvik, system and internal storage x3 times, reboot on download mode and then use kies to restore your note, if you was on cog2 restore it, or if you was in dok2 restore dok2.
Pd: sorry for my english
My wife has an ATT gs5 g900a. It was on one of the later versions of the MM firmware (unsure which one.) She was attempting to take a picture when the phone rebooted. After reboot she attempted again to take a picture, then it began bootlooping. Could not resolve with factory reset in recovery menu. Since then I've tried re-flashing MM firmware, including the latest, then attempted to go back down to OI5 L. Every time I flash anything it goes into a bootloop as soon as odin returns successful and reboots.
The only time I can get it to boot is if I flash the experimental OF1 firmware in odin, but then when I flash the prerooted OF3 it bootloops again. Any ideas to bring this phone back to life?
I am having the exact same issue, came out of nowhere. Everything was completely stock, phone froze and got bootloop fever, reset to factory and wiped cache. No change. Learned how to use odin and reflashed latest firmware, then did the reset and cache again, still bootloops. Tried the next firmware down the list, no change. I am thinking about trying the downgrade to NCE .tar, but i have no idea if that is even supposed to work from marshmallow all the way back. Any info on this topic would be greatly appreciated, by and and by RN_ReFlux above im sure. Thanks
Hello everyone, I'm here to share with you guys a solution that saved my life last night.
Well, as a good user, I tried to root my phone and I got it, but the screenlock wasn't working as you guys should know, then I tried to go back to stock and wait 'til someone fix that problem, but when I flashed Stock through Odin, my phone began to bootlooping after Samsung's logo and apperently there was no reason for it to do that, but I got a lot of erros, like:
No data access (Argument invalid);
Modem error (auth), etc.
Well, what I did was just flash TWRP through odin, formatted /data and then I flashed the official recovery and firmware again.
Hope that helps!

probably during flash with odin you chose Home_csc_omc..... and all phone's data still intact/untouch. that's why need to wipe data in TWRP.
if since the first place you chose csc_omc without HOME label... thats mean you do the clean flash and all will fine no need format data in TWRP.
just my thought..
