I just got the phone today.
I was trying to follow this guide to install lineageOS https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/s2/install
Flashed twrp and got up to the 3rd part. I was about to start flashing the rom but the recovery mode was asking me for a password I didn't have. I never set a password on it.
So I tried doing a factory reset and now when I try to reboot it, it gets stuck on the boot screen with the LeEco logo and powered by android etc.
I can still boot into recovery. I tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache and factory reset it again but it didn't help. I didn't try wiping anything else yet since I'm afraid to break it.
I did get twrp on but I did not install any roms yet.
All I did was the factory wipe and now I'm stuck.
I have no important data on it, so I don't care if I have to reset everything.
If I can just get it back to factory default so I can start over, I'd be fine.
What's the recommended course of action?
Sorry I'm kind of a noob at this so detailed instructions would be appreciated.
I figured it out.
In recovery mode, mounted the phone to computer
Computer didn't recognize it at first so had to go to device manager and change the driver to read it as composite usb
Moved over the rom I wanted to flash and just installed it like I was planning to
Another possibility would have been an OTG adapter. You don't have any problem with windows drivers that way

Yes, I found it easier to flash through ADB.

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.

You need to flash the latest custom recovery .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863.
It is normal for your device to show tampered as you have tampered with it lol and unlocked because you unlocked the bootloader. Just flash the latest CWM and try restore again. Personally I never restore. If you're having issues I'd do a clean install of whatever ROM you are using.

My problem is not the fact that it says tempered and unlocked... I know that much...
Problem is I cannot see the phone storage , the drive shows up but it's empty

So just install the newest recovery and reflash whatever ROM using an OTG cable and flash drive. Have you even tried a factory reset or anything? You need to at least try and help yourself and do some troubleshooting. The first thing I'd do if I had a problem would be a clean install and see if the problem persists.
Installing the latest TWRP or CWM would be a start, followed by formatting the internal storage and see if it shows up.

dude of course tried everything that i know of outside of any other tools i am not aware of with unlocking... I have i just havent had to changed to say it, i was asking to see if anyone else know of the issue or if it was just something that is happening to me.I know I am a n00b at using these tools at the moment, you don't have to point each time trying to help someone.
so of course i have reset to factory, of cause i have try to try something before asking. i was seeing if this is an known issue rather.
anyway it turned out to be something on my machine that somehow its not showing the phone storage.
ok to make this post helpful to other users.
if you were to have your phone plugin to your pc while it reboot out of cwm ensure that you have the usb unplug first before rebooting from cwm else you may see a empty internal storage, if so simply unplug the cable from your phone, reboot and plug back onto your pc.
hope this helps someone else.

I recently unlocked and rooted my nexus 6, installed twrp for back up. Then I wiped before making a back up. No I have no os on phone. Is there a fix or am I screwed?
Try using fastboot to flash factory images
Just grab a factory image and flash it.
Remember wiping a device does just that. Wipes it clean
The thing is, I can boot into recovery, but my phone does not show up on my laptop. So I am not sure how to load a factory image. Thx in advance for all the help.
If it doesn't connect while in recovery, uninstall/reinstall drivers.

Boot in to recovery, choose reboot system, TWRP will say, no OS installed are you sure? answer yes / swipe, TWRP will ask/say your device is not rooted, do you want to root it? Swipe to confirm.
Reboot your phone, pressing power and volume down, choose recovery mode again, your phone should show up on your lappy.
If not, re-install drivers - adb/fastboot as mentioned before.

So after trying to install the cyanogenmod nightly, my device started displaying repeated errors about different processes stopping. This would not stop, so I tried to reboot the device. Now the device is attempting to load into the recovery section, but it has just reached the teamwin screen and just keeps going black then flashing back to the screen. Any way I can recover it, or should I finally retire it?
I'm having the same exact issue. Mine started after doing a factory reset from the system settings to try to alleviate some Play Store issues.
I'm just replying in the hope that someone will see this and help us out.
I got the same issue, I tried to factory reset the system and now mine keep flash at the teamwin screen. I cannot connect to the PC neither. Please help.

You probably didn't factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache when you flashed the ROM.

Both of you, you can't factory reset a rooted device from the system settings, this usually wipes out the whole OS because with root the device has access to system partition, when you reset it wipes everything it has permission to remove(with root it has permission to everything).
Factory reset from settings on a nonrooted device doesn't wipe the OS because it doesn't have permission to alter system. That's why it doesn't harm the device and only wipes the data you've put on the phone.
Try flashing TWRP and see if your devices will boot to recovery then. If not, you may have to use fastboot to flash the stock firmware.

Strange... is your tablet at least recognized by a computer?
Make sure you connect it to a USB 2.0 port
Yesterday I was using my phone and it suddenly started rebooting itself. Since my bootloader was locked, my phone was stock rom, no root, no custom recovery and usb debugging off my hopes of doing something through ADB or Fastboot vanished. I think it is fixable but I would like to recover all my data first. I heard that you can try to get your phone into EDL mode in order to recover your data, so I tried to via test point method and my phone is now recognized as Qualcomm 9008. However, afaik this mode wont let me recover any data, and I need to get it to be 9006 instead of 9008. Any help?
Proceed at your risk.
The test point method http://en.miui.com/thread-693884-1-1.html it is using Mi flash tools to flash the ROM so you can opt out for save user data in order to keep internal storage.
in that thread it is mentioned to clean flash but there is one step given to save user data so i don't know what things will be saved and what not. most possibly itll wipe app and its data so messages,call logs,contact will get wiped if there are in internal storage if they haven't backed up to the cloud.
do read carefully and then proceed.

I guess I´ll try that then, I already saw this ''Wipe everything but userdata'' option but was not sure, as it seems a bit strange. I'll give it a shot, thanks!

So I tried this and, after dealing with many versions of Mi Flash (newer ones crashed, older ones had many errors) I was finally able to flash a fastboot rom but unfortunately I'm still stuck in the bootloop. I guess wiping data is an unavoidable fate. Thanks again 4 everything
1.Install twrp.(if you dont have)
2.Turn off phone and click power volup+voldown and when phone turns on release power btn. Recovery will appear wipe data,cache,dalvik,system,vendor then install any rom (i recommend pixelexperience or miui stable). Then wait if there an bootloop i cant help bye.
