BOOT LOOP!!!!

hi all
i ahve not installed a custom rom on my note, but i have rooted it and installed abyss note kernal. everything has been working fine for months and months with this, all of a sudden last night i saw my phone was off, i went to switch it back on and the boot screen just keeps looping and i have no idea why.
I can get into recovery (it says odin mode) and the phone is connected to odin on my PC.
i obviously would like to get the phone working again some how, but if at all possible i would like to keep everything that was on there as i was using the phone as a usb drive to store my college work on and dont want to lose it.
any help would be appreciated

Are you able now to start your phone???and if not, can you enter in download mode(pressing vol down+home key+power key)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

ok i just flashed a stock gingerbread rom from odin. odin said pass (successful) but i am still having boot loop i thought flashing a stock would have sorted it.
i did the flashing by accessing download mode and connecting to odin on my pc
please help i just want a working phone

hmmm so what your trying to say is that just right after reflashing to stock GB your phone went into a bootloop after? You didn't have any chance still of restoring your backups did you? it just rebooted right after flashing back to GB?

i didnt flash any rom before, i was just on stock what came on the phone. the boot loop randomly happened last night. i have just now flashed a stock GB rom through download mode and odin.
the boot loop is still happening even after i just flashed a stock rom

did you restored your backups back on your phone? if you did.. try not to.. just observe it for now.. all stock.. no datas at all, turn off your phone(in airplane mode) and see if your still getting the bootloops.... if your still getting it then I'm doubting you may have a corrupted data partition inside your phone.

Mate, if you're on stock GB (NOT STOCK ICS!!!!), then you can safely go into Recovery Mode and full wipe:
- Hold Power + Volume Up + Home button alllll the way until a weird recovery, safe-mode like menu appears
- Navigate using the Volume Keys to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset"
- Use Home button as ok and do that
- Navigate to "Reboot System"
And you're done and safe, no worries

i didnt restore any backups as i didnt have any baackups. i cant access the phone at all it just boot loops only. i think it is a corrupted data partition as i have flashed a stock rom and it still boot loops. i dont know how it happened though as i didnt do anything i just pulled it out my pocket and it was turned off, i tried to turn it back on and thats when i got the boot loop

Make sure you hold on to the buttons for long, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

i went into the proper recovery and did a wipe data factory reset, it worked!!!!!! thankyou!!!!!

Most Welcome!
Just remember to press thanks!
One more thing... Please make sure you know about recovery and/or download mode, about CWM, stock and custom ROMs + kernels before flashing
It will turn the experience of customizing your Note into something really pleasurable, not a teeth-chattering experience Believe me, I know.
You can check out the stickies in every thread + you can check out some articles either here on XDA or "Android A-Z" that talk about CWM (Clockwork-Mod Recovery), Rooting and that sort of thing.
Best of luck to you!

Need Help Urgently, Hard nor Soft reset works

hey there, i'm doing this for a friend
he was updating to JB i believe OTA and it crashed.
It was stuck on the boot screen, but i got pass that, and the phone was back to the way she was using it.
However it kept rebooting randomly
So I tried doing a soft reset, deleting everything, plus i tried doing an updated on samsing kies, cos it shows that the jb update is available
but once the phone reboots, it goes back to the it was when i got it pass the boot screen, like its going back in time.
When it turns on, customer battery power saver is on and it starts downloading 4 apps...
whenever you restart the phone, it goes in a loop of doing the same thing.
I've even tried a hard reset, same thing, boots and starts the loop all over again
this is very confusing
I even tried using Odin to flash the original rom, odin shows success and the phone reboots....back to the loop state...
what can be done?
I will really appreciate the help
thank you

strange situation ... I am guessing that you are on ICS ROM ..
try downloading one of the safe kernel's first and then clear the cache or re-install the stock ROM from this safe kernel ..

[Q] Stuck, Reboot and Bootloop

Hi all,
This was happened since yesterday. Suddenly my phone got stuck and reboot itself after few seconds. But It won't back again and stuck on bootloop. I was on stock rooted ROM with Philz kernel.
Then I've tried to reboot on recovery but It also very hard to get there. After 10-12 times I was able to go recovery, and I did full wipe there. But, I wont fix the issue. Some times It's booting properly( After pull out battery for 5mins ) but only last for few seconds. Very first time I press the home button after sleep or lock, phone get stuck and reboot and bootloop.
I've tried different ROMs, Kernels, even GB ROMs, Finally tried to fix file system errors with e2fsck. But nothing was solved my problem.
Please, anyone here had same issue ? Or any knows solution to fix it ?
Thanks

Anybody can help ... ??? I can work with this phone until it get stuck once. After that, bootloop. If I keep switched off and battery removed, after 10-30mins back, It's working again.
Please anyone can help me ?

try to remove the whole ROM with the kernel from recovery mod , i think there is an option for that in "advanced options" menu , so that ur device will show nothing when you press the power button ..
then download any stock rom and flash it with odin ,..
another method is to flash previous rom update , i.e ICS if your device is on JB , then via KIES update your device ..
hope that helps you

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I've tried formatting all partitions from recovey mode. and I've tried flashing GB ROMS via odin. every rom boots first time, but once it locked, it get stuck when try unlock. Then it wont boot again.
I've tried CM10.1 as well , but no hope.
The thing is, once it stuck and reboot, It wont even boot to recovery as well ( If I try 100 times, 1 time can be able to boot recovey ) . But for Download mode is anytime can boot.
I've never heard such a spooky problem before

any other ideas... please ...

Go to download mode and clean-install a stock ROM using ODIN. Then install PhilZ boot loop free kernel and you'll be on root again.

My first guess is a bad battery.
If that is not the problem, you could probably fix it by flashing a rom, either a stock one using odin(Not ICS), or a custom one from recovery(Aryamod maybe)

If its a bad battery then, performing the setup while charger is connected should keep the phone ON.

Before this problem battery back up was almost 1 day with moderate use
can i try factory reset with charger plug in as @nokiamodeln91 said

Tried setup with charger connected but this time also at at the end of the setup phone hang rebooted itself after reboot stuck at Samsung logo
kindly help

Again,

Also before flash using Odin, boot into recovery, fomat system, data, cache and preload.. then go to advanced... reboot download and flash the rom with odin .. or use recovery to flash a custom rom.

i have to simply copy it to sd card and flsh it with Philz signed

And yes, you just flash that rom from recovery, from your sd card.. After that you will want to do another factory reset, and clean cache.

Flashed with custom rom as you suggested @Azeazezar
but in this rom smoothness gone sluggish & poor touch sensitivity
what is the reason behind it
My stock JB was sooth enough

Use it for a day.

Restarting again and again

Anyone please help me..
My H811 was running just fine and smooth with Genesis ROM until this morning.
The phone first was running okay.. then after sometime touch started to stop and phone restarted.
After restart with some use, again stuck and restarted. I immediately booted to recovery and clean install Genesis Rom again.
First boot, a couple of loops and then started.. Initial setup completed and then again restarted.
Now it is fully messed up. Now, not turning on at times, have to pull out battery and then if i try to boot in recovery, rarely it goes to recovery and there too it stucks.. and restarts again ..
Even tried to check fastboot mode.. It worked just once then not after than ..
I dont know what is going wrong..
Anyone who could guide ?

Not sure about Genisis but if you were stably running it for a while it might be similar to the nightly ROM from cyanogen. In that case see if you can get a stable snapshot ROM from when it was properly working if you believe the issue is with Genisis. If not, you can try reverting back to stock and seeing if the booting issues still occur there.

No.. It's definitely no issue with Genesis... It worked perfect.. I believe it's infamous boot loop issue... Actually it's a very different kind of issue that at times i can access recovery... Other times.. It doesn't let me... Sometimes it even give T mobile boot screen.. So i have tried flashing a CM based rom too when i was able to access recovery but it didn't boot.. I guess it's done now. I am also one of the bootlooped victim.

Yes.. It's definitely the issue.. Kdz method not working cuz i tried but phone wasn't detected in LGUP. In device manager it is shown as qualcomm Qloader type something but now being detected in LGup.. Tried following some guides like removing battery while usb still plugged in still didn't help so i guess it's no more..

May be bricked.. I don't know what's wrong.. What happens in bootloop? All i see is just the very first LG screen and nothing later.. Is it boot loop issue or bricked?

bootloops starts you see LG logo then reboot and again in a loop. sometimes it gets to optimizing apps if its the case that optimizes... may seem like a bootloop issue. what is your 3 first digits of serial.. also try to use it in freezer making it cold . with precaution not to get it wet or moist . see if it boots and stays there for a while remove it and if it reboots then am afraid its bootloop issue.

No.. No.. If is now stuck totally on LG screen.. And sometimes doesn't turn on.. Charging indication and LED isn't turning on.. It had entered in download mode once but not anymore..

Well it's a good point.. I was thinking it's a boot loop condition but i think it's qualcomm brick condition.. And now trying to solve this.. Do you have any idea about how to unbrick?
