My Note 5 wont boot. Please help. - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, so I am using a note 5 SM-N920I and i tried to install some xposed zip a week ago, but it didn't work and went into a bootloop. I did a factory reset and reset everything. I have tried everything, flashing different roms through adb, but that didnt work, I tried to send the rom to my note via adb, which worked, and then flashed that on twrp. The rom was Dr.Ketan's custom rom. I flashed that multiple times which all ended up with my device not booting and staying on the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 splash screen. I tried again but now it boots into the downloading screen but without any of the text at the top ( I cant take a photo as my phones not working lol.) and stays at that.
I just really dont know what to do. Please help. I am on mac by the way.

download firmware and flush it by odin

Since you are Mac ODIN is not available for you what you need is to download Heimdall. Form search XDA Note 5 section for N920i firmware and flash to stock. Then root and look for Wanams Xposed version. The normal version causes bootloops. Hope this helps. Sorry I think I can't post links yet.

Newly Rooted 4.4.2 - Only boots to recovery

Okay guys so I just rooted my att note 3 that was completely up to date using the towelroot.com method found here. Stupidly of me I was trying to follow a thread to change my system language in build.prop but after doing that It ONLY boots to recovery / safestrap. After the safestrap screen I tell it to continue to boot normaly and all i get after that is a black screen.
Any ideas? Is it possible to flash safestrap from odin / heimdall / recovery?
Ive tried factory resetting from safestrap and recovery and that didn't change anything.
I not even sure I have safestrap at this point I can get into recovery, and download mode but it sits at the "Samsung Galaxy NOTE 3 [Unlocked Icon] Custom" screen. It wont actually progress to the safestrap.
Before I tried to edit that build.prop the root / safestrap worked fine all day today, restarted several times for different reasons and still worked afterwards.
I had no encryption enabled.
Via recovery -
"Android system recovery <3e>
KOT49H.N900AUCUCNC2"
**** This Worked ****
Possibly? this as a fix?
Would this be okay to use as a stock Kitkat firmware resource for an Odin flash?
Anyone have a N900AUCUCNC2 ROM or firmware I can flash?

i have the .zip files for it and odin 3
*it sounds to me like a bootloop or a softbrick, I would recommend using this odin 3 and flash the stock kk rom the one i have is the unofficial and is pre-rooted. but it works when i bricked mine repeatedly trying roms.

That'd be awesome if you could get that to me some how. I more or less have everything fixed but the wake-up after entering my pattern lock is ungodly slow so I'd like to possibly try a different one.

Note 1 Stuck At Samsung Logo Screen!

Hi Peeps, Happy New Years
Don't Worry I read every thread on XDA and no one has a problem as similar as mines and don't know EXACTLY what type of brick I have.
I got this problem with my Galaxy Note (N7000):crying:
It all started when I was running Ultimate Rom v6 and decided to upgrade to kitkat.
I searched around and found that Spirit Rom had quite positive reviews.
So I downloaded the rom and tried to flash but then ended up with status 7 error.
I then found out I was using an outdated version of CWM (I think it was 6.0.3.7)
I then flashed this file by zedomax (http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote/recovery/n7000-CWM-KitKatCompatible.zip)
because it had compatible recovery with Kitkat roms and CM 10.2 kernal. Installation went fine and I set up everything.
I then installed lollipop theme (It came with boot animation). Then I rebooted to see how the boot animation looked but to my despair I got stuck at Samsung Boot Logo Screen and couldn't get past it. I couldn't get into recovery, only downloading mode. So then I flashed stock JB rom with PC (Odin). The flashing was successful but I'm still stuck at Logo screen.
Also I would like to also mention that the phone was NEVER on ICS. It was on stock GB 2.3.6, then rooted and flashed Ultimate Rom V6.
Any help would be appreciated :highfive::victory:

Calm down dude!
I read the thread properly.......
Unfortunately something went wrong and I'm asking for help (I really don't even know how I messed it up).......
Do you have a problem with that?
I have experience with rooting and custom roms and have never came across something like this.....

If the last thing you did was flash 4.1.2 via PC Odin then flash the correaponsing philz kernel in PC Odin, boot to recovery, and do a factory reset. If you don't want stock TW, then do the above, and then follow the guide on how to flash a KitKat ROM. I feel your error may involve not doing proper wipes, including preload.

Thanks Dude , You helped think of of something
BTW I fixed it
Maybe my recovery was corrupted or something...... So I was browsing around sticky threads an somehow reasoned it out to flash a prerooted + cwm rom through odin.
This is what I did:
1. Download this http://d-h.st/HJM
2. Flash with PC Odin (Add via PDA button and make sure ONLY Auto reboot is checked)
3. Wait till completed
4. When completed you will still get stuck then....
5. Boot into recovery (Which will now be CWM)
6. Do a factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache
7. Reboot
8. Give the logo screen a minute or two
9. Then I get directly to welcome screen.
10. Done
One more thing is do you know what was the cause of this? It's really interesting to know...........
Yeah improper wipes or flashing the wrong kernel for the wrong rom

Tried to Root N-920W8, Restarts during Phone Calls

Hi,
I tried to root my N-920W8 with Nobel Kernel and it keeps restarting during phone calls.
And I found a post in XDA about the SkyHigh Kernal (which has fixed the call reboot bug) for N-920W8 but it is in .zip format where I can not use ODIN.
Tried to convert the .zip into .tar and failed.
I tried to connect my phone to my PC and place the .zip file into my phone USB file as there is no external SD for Note 5.
(Not sure whether there is a particular location to place the .zip file.)
After place the .zip, tried to flash it in the download/recovery mode (volume down+power+home botton),
it said could not find sd card/failed to do so.
Tried to go to SAMMobile.com to find stock rom, can not download anything...seems like it's empty or the link is not working.
I tried to search stock rom from other sites and found nothing as well.
I saw someone posted similar threads and suggested to try arter97 root but it will have slight lag which I do not want.
Plus, the person with the problem did not confirm whether or not it fixs the problem.
I am really frustrated with a lot searching and browsing so I decide to open a new thread to ask.
Do I have to flash back to stock rom in order to root properly? Or can I just find a stable kernel and flash it with ODIN and everything will work fine?
Could you provide step-by-step instructions and links as well? I am a noob but I am not taking it for granted but it's just that I am afraid I might mess things up...
*Also, I am not sure whether the following problem relates to the one above...
When I am rebooting, it says "KERNAL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING"
Is it the same issue? Or a different one?
Thank you for taking your time to read my thread.
I will be really thankful for the solution. Thank you!

hi, I have the same problem with my N9208, someone told me to try installing arter 97 but in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/development/arter97-kernel-galaxy-note-5-t3189907 they said that this kernel is not compatible with the n9208 that is the model that I have, this is the list with the compatible models;

SM-N920G

did you know how can I get succesfully rooting with no reboot problem?
Try this works great no drop call it is the best

First I was with space x but I had reboots and drop calls but I root with auto root xiaolu and everything works fine in my N9208
I fully support N9208 with SkyHigh kernel. You just have to read Posts 1-3 including requirements and install instructions. ... you don't use Odin !!

I'm pretty sure your next step is to wipe all data , for your phone to boot. I had to do this when I first rooted my device (N-920w8 telus). I had followed this guide :
http://galaxynote5root.com/galaxy-n...alaxy-note-5-on-android-6-06-0-1-marshmallow/
On page 2 , steps 11 , 12 and 13.
Your phone will be stucked in a boot loop until you "format data" . Unfortunately , you will lose everything in your phone by doing this.
Once you've installed TWRP , so that you never have to "format data" again if you try other updates , i recommend "Flashfire" . This tool can install full firmware packages for updates , but without removing your recovery partition, leaving TWRP intact , which you can then use again to reflash SuperSU and the "no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip"
Good luck

Can't Install twrp on Sprint Note 5 on 6.0.1

Ive been trying for hours to root my Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920P on Marshmallow 6.0.1. I've tried every version of twrp that I can find; however. have been unable to find a tar file for twrp 3.0 and above. I've also tried several ODIN builds, with no success. None of the 'Auto-root" Kernels such as Space X etc are working on this build MMB29K.N920PVPU2BPC3. I've rooted many phones and have never had this problem installing twrp. (Says recovery is not SE ANdroid enforcing in red and never gets past the first boot screen). Is anyone else having this problem on the sprint variant? Is it possible there is a new kernel in the works?
Thanks in advance!
Closed. Found correct version of twrp

I also have rooted many phones but can not install twrp on my sm-n920p note 5 running 6.0.1. I have it rooted but get the same seandroid enforcing in red you describe. tried installing with odin and flashify but always get the same results.
Bump! I'm having the exact same issues. Op says he found the right version. I have a N920P and I've used multiple versions of Odin (currently v3.10.6) and twrp-2.8.7.0-nobleltespr.img.tar. I Auto rooted with CF-Auto-Root-nobleltespr-nobleltespr-smn920p.tar after many failed attempts with the previously mentioned files. Now I have root but still cannot get TWRP Recovery on my phone. Everytime I try, it gets stuck on the "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" screen and the only way to get off of it is to auto root again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
in the same boat

You need to look up root-boot because that's how you get it to boot when it's stuck on the screen so search the forums for it and use it but first read about it!

Had same issue. Auto root, flashify or flashfire, flash the tar.tar file from link provided. Solved. Should be anyways.
Works. Thanks.
This modified TWRP file listed below worked. After rooting my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 5, I was unable to enter Recover mode unless I re-flashed a previous version of TWRP. That was a bummer. I hope that others who experienced that issue see this post and download THIS version of TWRP. IT WORKS!!! Thanks

stuck in bootloop, i have no history about what happened before

hi guys, a friend of mine gave e this samsung galaxy tab S2 SM-T715 32GB that is stuck on bootloop, he said nothing about what he has done to it (sadly) all i know is that it's stuck in bootloop and it's impossible to access the recovery... what i've tried so far is this:
- find a TWRP and flash it with odin v3.14, which works but when the tablet reboots it's stuck on bootloop and i can't access the recovery
- find and flash an older version of the TWRP that's for the android 5.1 stock rom, flashed in and worked, though i can't access it after the reboot
- find and flash the latest OFFICIAL rom which works because when i get into the download mode i see "samsung official" on "binary" and not "custom" as it was after the previous tries
if anyone has an idea about what i should do please help me ^^ the tab is still in good condition and would be a waste to throw in the garbage tbh

Try perhaps with Frija in place of samfirm and perhaps with heimdall (under Linux but also windows I think) in place of Odin.

mine is still up >30 hrs so looking promising. I've been working on it for 8 months or more. Thinking back, looking at the flash in "edl mode" guide . . .
[GUIDE] How to dump and write back the storage on most of Qualcomm devices
This is a generic guide that could be suitable for many Qualcomm based devices, once the phone can be triggered to EDL mode. To make sure this guide will work as expect, following requirements are needed: - Know how to trigger the phone to EDL...
forum.xda-developers.com
. . maybe this is how I should have done it, but mine was stable in download mode.
In the end this is what I did ymmv.
flash back to 5.0.2stock with heimdall,
flashing twrp3.1.0-1, format internal partitions,
reflash 5.0.2stock, & twrp3.1.0-1.
edit: after 1 day it is rebooting again. groan.
