I installed CM7 to my 2OX and it worked all right.. I rebooted my phone and the S/W Upgrade please wait... screen showed up..
I waited for over 2 hours and nothing.. Now I took the battery off and put it back on and rebooted...
Now I am sitting on the LG logo and its been over 30 minutes and nothing... How can I fix this problem??
Thanks for the help!
I'm no expert in this, but have you tried to boot into recovery and clear cache/dalvik?
Seems like that fix startup problems many times.
I actually figured it out... I couldn't even start up ROM Manager and everytime I wanted to reboot it in Recovery mode, some misterious things happened.. LOL.. I kept pressing the - Volume key too long that it restarted it by itself.. Once I got into the Recovery Mode I got it to work.. I have now installed CM7 Nightlies in my phone and its working great... well.. I just ran out of battery, but for what I saw it was great..
One thing though.. I installed Gapps, but the android market wasn't there.. I can't go into my cell phone, since it is out of battery, but is there something I did wrong? or do I have to install the market app again? How to do that?
Thanks in advanced... I know this shouldn't be so complicated, but since I can't play with my cell phone right now, I thought I ask...

anyone ?
Try installing stock GB ROM with PC Odin after Odin is done you might get stuck on logo screen if that happens go to recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset and it should boot if all goes well you should have a stock GB phone. Then you can start from scratch if the phone is working correctly

Does your IMEI start with 0049...?
Hi guys, first of all this is my first post here and won't be my last.
I am an Apple/iPhone long time user and want to tryout Android, just because I think it's time for a change , without knowing if I could get used to the new OS and wanting to spend as less as possible on this "endeavor" I bought a second hand Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 from a friend, the phone worked perfectly when I bought it, it had Android 4.1.2 on it and I wanted to update it to 4.4.2, did some research on the net about this (learned about the locked bootloader - this wasn't an issue for me coming from the iPhone) and updated the phone using Kies - and this is were the fun begins.
The update failed, and the phone was softbricked but could still go into download and recovery mode, after reading a few hours on the internet, I used Odin to flash a 4.3 stock rom for the n7100 which I downloaded from samsung-updates, the software got installed on the phone but it was very laggy (with the phone opened but locked, when I pressed the power button it took about 7-8 seconds for the display to light-up, the animations were very sluggish and phone was unusable).
I installed another ROM, using Odin, this time a 4.4.2, with the same results (every time I reset to factory setting and wipe cache from recovery - this didn't help).
I then installed clockwork recovery and rooted the phone then installed cyanogenmod 10.1 which worked almost ok but if i locked the phone after a few seconds the phone would restart, wipe cache/restore factory settings didn't help, i installed it again hoping it would be just an issue with the installation but had the same result, phone would restart.
I've followed all tutorials I could find related to this phone and this issue, installed several patches, reinstalled several stock roms, installed Criskelo rom, all with the same result, the phone is very very very slow and freezez after a while or it restarts after i lock the phone.
So, let me just give u some history on the phone, enumerate the symptoms and where I am right now:
History:
The phone was bought from Vodafone Romania, was never rooted and was never updated (before me ) and still has 3 months warranty.
Symptoms:
- Phone is very slow, unusable
- Freezes after the display is locked
- it is not recognized in windows, when I connect it i can hear the windows connect chime but the phone storage is not mounted, in device manager the phone is recognised as "cdc communication interface" which is not installed - i have the samsung drivers installed, and i have tried on other PC's with the same result, I also tried with several data cables - same thing - the phone works ok when in recovery/download mode
- sometimes when the phone is connected to the PC and the screen goes dark a gray battery appears with a "wait circle" and the phone freezes
- in recovery the phone displays 14 bynaries downloaded and also knox warranty void 1
- most of the roms freez in the language selection screen - i boot-up the phone (after i do a restore factory settings) the installing application dialog appears and then the language selection screen appears, then after 5-6 seconds the phone freezes - the freeze is not triggered by something I do it's triggered by time, after 5-6 seconds no matter what I do with the phone the phone freezes, if it makes any difference, exactly before the phone freezes the display brightness goes to the maximum setting.
Where I am right now
- I installed another stock rom, 4.4.2, it worked acceptable for a few minutes (it got passed the initial setup with no issues) then i left it on the desk, the display went dark and the battery thing happened again and the phone froze, i restarted the phone in recovery, did a factory reset, when the phone started it froze on the language selection screen.
I am at this for about a week now and I have no more ideas and no more patience, and run out of threads and tutorials to read, I am 1 step away of using the phone as a paperweight so please help, any idea would be appreciated, even if it's to enlighten me about what happened and telling me that the phone is bricked.
I am willing to try anything even if it is risky and can totally brick the phone, this is not my main phone and it's purpose is to help me understand android, and help me not make the same mistakes next time.
But, if it's possible I would like to fix the phone because even though it's pretty old it's still an ok phone.
Sorry wrong forum. You need N7100, not the n7000. Good luck.
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

Day 2: and all went back to the phone not waking up and after screen is turned off
