strange problem with charging, bootloop, pls help

Hi,
I rooted my note some weeks ago and I was searching the web, reading all kind of threads and thinking what the problem might be for the last weeks. Finally I decided to register myself on xda and to post my problem.
Like mentioned before I rooted my note via CMW and then flashed a franco kernel, unfortunally I dont know which version, but no custom rom. It all worked fine for 14 maybe 16 hours, then the phone froze after opening a app and after that it stuck at the Galaxy Note N7000 logo. I tried to enter recovery but it didn't work, I can enter downloadmode but I ran out of battery before I could do anything.
Now the phone keeps turning itself on and off the whole time when I try to charge it, the battery image comes for like 1 second and after that the screen turns black again. The battery itself is new so that shouldnt be the problem. I charged it like that for like 4 hours and then tried to enter downloadmode but it only says "battery to low to download".
I hope it is not a hardware problem. If anybody has a idea please help me, I am getting desperate.

EDIT: I came from offical 4.0.4 ICS

How old is your phone? Try with another good battery.
Suggestion: you may flash gb via PC Odin and check phone back to normal.

I got my phone last april, so it is not even a year old, but I got a new battery some days before rooting it... I'll try/have to get another one anyway.
Could you give me a link for a stock gb rom please.
Thank you for your quick reply.

Kindly go thru Guru 'drketan' threads and posts.

Found it. Should I use a rom with three parts or with only one? And can I use any rom or one with a special "code" that suits my device, e.g. german....
And just flash the rom and then fullwipe or is wiping not necessary?
I am sorry for the questions but I want to do everything right.

You can use any. Wipe in GB recovery.

Thanks a lot.

Yesterday I finally found somebody to charge my battery, today I flashed a GB stock rom, but I still can`t get any further than the Samsung Galaxy Note logo... It worked one time but I turned the phone off to insert my sim card and it got stuck again.
I tried flashing with pit file and bootloader as well, but no luck.
Could it be a hardware problem? Could a J-tag repair fix it?
Thanks in advantage.

Now your on safe GB rom, enter recovery wipe cache, factory reset, wipe dalvick cache.
Let's know the result

I tried, but I am not able to enter recovery... I press volume up + home + power but I only get the N7000 logo. I have read that you have to press the home button in the right moment to enter stock recovery, could somebody tell if that is true and if yes when do I have to press?

Anyone an idea please? I can enter download mode but not recovery, I downgraded to gb 2.3.6.KK5, I flashed abyss 4.2 but I can get to recovery mode or past the GT N7000 logo. Three times it got to the "package installing" page and one time it even started then I switched it off to insert my sim card and again stuck at the N7000 logo.
I need help please...

You have to press the three button combo "a long time" and the power button should be the last one to use.
I always wait until the Samsung Logo appeared 2 times and I see the next animation (depends on your kernel/recovery).
So please try again and hold the three buttons longer.

I flashed the 3-part lc1 gb and did a full wipe. The phone now starts sometimes but gets stuck at the n7000 logo most of the time. When it starts the whole UI feels very laggy, eg. while typing. Recovery mode started one time out of 1000 tries. I am afraid that something with my hardware is wrong. Any ideas? Could a Jtag be a solution? Please help.

try again to get into recovery and do a factory reset from Gb recovery..

press it until you get to recovery. DO NOT remove your fingers when you see n7000 bootlogo. keep pressing . keep pressing. keep pressing.

I made it in the recovery, did another fullwipe, but it still lags while typing or opening/closing an app and still does not boot proper, I have to try several times to get past the logo screen and it works only when I go in downloadmode and boot from there. Entering the recoverymode still only works randomly. Any idea?
Edit: it also lags while scrolling down/up

In all you posts here you never wrote exactly what version of which Rom you installed in whatever way.
That's why I'm still not convinced that you have "defined state" and giving good advice is try&error.
So please start telling: how did you flash, what GB or ICS or JB version, Stock Rom or Custom Rom.

,Sorry, I flashed the n7000xxlc1 - open europe with odin PC, stock, prerooted and in 3 parts. After that I did a fullwipe, the phone turns on after a few tries, most time after I go in download mode and restart from there. It lags while it is on, like short freezes, I tried to install the OTA update to ICS but failed.
Before that I was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note logo after flashing a franco kernel via CWM (I am not sure which version but it came with the guide to root, so I thought it could not be bad)
Edit: I flashed the xxlsc 4.1.2 jelly bean offical leak via odin PC, and I still have the same problems. I takes 5-6 reboots to actually start the device and it is very laggy, almost unusable. Every second or so it freezes for short time.

Any help please? I would send it to someone to do a JTAG repair if this could help. I just dont want to waste the money, so if anyone has experienced a problem like this please help me.

Is this a brick revived phone?

[Q] Soft/Hard Bricked n7000?

Hey Guys im new here. In a REAAALYY messed up situation right now.
PLEASE HELP!!!:crying::crying::crying:
Had Carbon kitkat 4.4.2 rom flashed with Philz touch 6.19.
Phone suddenly crashed while using Whatsapp. It did not switch on,when i tried.
Tried re-flashing original stock 4.1.2 firmware (india version,coz im in India).
Used only PDA file(thats what was suggested in a website).
Flashed with Odin 3 v3.07. Got a "PASS" message.
BUT now came the problem. Phone got stuck at Samsung logo and switched off. Battery was about 70%
So I removed battery and restarted phone but same problem. Then I booted phone to stock recovery.
Did "data wipe/factory reset" and then "reboot now" option. Same result,i.e booted till samsung logo and then switched off.
So I again re-flashed stock 4.1.2 firmware(india version),but this time using Odin 3 v3.04(i know it may not make a difference).
Again got a "PASS" message.
Now, it started booting ,started downloading apps(eg:"downloading apps 32 of 63"...,etc).
After this phone booted to Stock Recovery.
This time i did "Reboot now"
It rebooted back to Stock recovery.
Again i did "reboot system" and then it booted back to stock recovery.
So kinda stuck in stock recovery loop.
If i unplug phone from PC,none of the buttons give a reponse(No download mode,stock recovery)
Is it hard bricked,coz when i plug phone back,i can get to download mode and stock recovery,just that it keeps rebooting to stock recovery again and again.
PLEASE HELP. Found everywhere on the net possible,couldn't find anything!
My dad would kill me if he got to know! :crying::crying::crying:
i know im asking for too much,being a new member,but please reply ASAP. Im freaking out here

Maybe.But my battery was perfect before all this problem started. Its weird if it would just die off suddenly.
Also, i tried the wall charger,and the cable with another phone and its working properly.
I also tried charging with another charger,
Anyway, i tried charging via wall adapter, but then it automatically boots into Stock Recovery, even if i do not press any buttons.
even If i remove battery,put it on again and then put phone on charge,it automatically boots into stock recovery, without pressing any buttons.
And of course,pressing"reboot now" again boots it back to stock recovery.
Odin flash was successful with "PASS" message, and also i tried to factory reset and then "reboot sys now" but it made no difference.

Do u have KIES Disabled during odin? Are you using odin as Administrator? Did u disable firewall and antivirus when flashing with odin? Do u have the necessary files to root it in your sd card?A suggestion only that in your state, try rooting, installing recovery, and flash a custom rom to check if it boots
Note: You don't really have to install india vers. just because you're in india. Try newest ver available.

Try flashing philz ddlsc kernel using odin. Then boot into recovery. This time you will get cwm. Format system, data cache and preload. Then go to advanced menu/power options and choose reboot download. Connect to pc and flash the rom again.

I see. so after you changed the battery, did the phone boot up?
and if it did , did it boot up into the last firmware you had tried to flash?(i.e.,ICS,GB or JB)?

You can't brick your phone by flashing with Odin (you've to be a complete idiot to do it). Just download an official ROM from sammobile or live.samsung-updates and flash the .md5 file as PDA in Odin

Make sure that your battery isn't damaged (if it's damaged then buy a new battery) and maybe it's a hardware problem?

Sounds like a damaged battery to me. Try one from another S3 Mini or Ace II and see if it works.

Not a battery problem! We have tested multiple methods including the spinning one!
Also this can be either because the 4.1.2 update that seems to have broken the so called "NAND memory". Im also going to say one thing: This started happening to many S3 minis when they passed the 1 year age.
My friend also HAD this problem on his old S3 mini but he buyed an iPhone Later.

Note 4 Dead after Update won't power on

I recently did the latest update to my T-mobile Note 4 upon updating the phone, the phone was in a constant boot loop and finally installed the update to the device. Upon installing the new software update to the phone it began the reboot loop and eventually started up I received one text message and it began to loop again and now it will not turn on. None of the button combinations will turn the phone on it is not accepting a charge either. I put the battery in another note 4 and it works fine and shows 79 percent of the battery is charged. What can be done to get the phone to wake up out of it's current state most of the pictures were salvaged with drop box, but it did not update from a family funeral yesterday with several pictures and those are important. Has anyone had this issue before and what was done to fix it?

A few questions I would ask to be able to help would be:
Which baseband/bootloader/version were you on and which upgrade was your Note IV attempting to install?
Are you rooted or stock?
When you say that it bootlooped a bunch and then "finally installed the update", was that with no user interaction at all? seems odd to me for a bootloop to repeat and then randomly work.
If I were you and after pulling battery for 30 seconds doesnt work and holding down home+power+volume up, then try plugging it into a USB port on your computer and see if it recognizes it. Make sure your PC has latest samsung usb drivers.

All stock the last update performed was for that security hole android had on the android 5.1.1. What I mean is that during the install the phone kept restarting and restarting and then it installed the updates and went to the home screen. When it reached the home screen it showed me one text and I went on charging the phone thinking it was normal woke up this morning the phone was off yet the battery still has 79 percent when placed in another note 4 phone. I tried plugging into the pc the phone isn't recognized because it does not turned on it says unrecognizable usb device and I installed the latest samsung drivers as well I've tried those button combinations as well as pulling the battery. I'm wondering if the update corrupted something prohibiting it from booting it doesn't take a charge either when connected to the wall it's almost like the phone is in a stale state.

Have you tried installing Kies on your PC to see if it can detect it? I believe it has a couple special options for detecting and repairing corrupted stock updates. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/app/kies

I haven't tried kies I tried smart switch though and the phone wasn't detected I'll try kies as well. I'll be back with an update appreciate the help.

Kies didn't work because the phone can't be recognize by the program the computer makes a noise knowing when the phone is connected but the screen on phone doesn't turn on I can't even get it to boot up or accept a charge and the battery is nearly full given that I put it in another phone to check. I've tried even starting the phone up with no battery using direct charger as primary source but it didn't work. I'm not sure how the update fried my phone, but I'm going to be losing some important pics drop box didn't sync yesterday during a family funeral.

That is just really ****ty luck. They say there is always a small chance that flashing anything can cause epic partition disasters. If kies is detecting it but saying it's unable to connect then I'd say the phone is toast. You might be able to get Odin to recognize it and reflash the entire ROM, but that would obviously destroy any data you had on the device previously. Might look into doing an adb pull or backup but being realistic with expectations, I'd say the chances of them working considering what you've done is minimal.
Since you're on stock anyways I'd just go warranty exchange it if you can. Not worth dicking around with Odin if you are stock.
Sorry I couldn't be more help but I would take this opportunity to seriously get yourself a cloud based automatic backup so you don't have to worry about these things anymore. I had something similar happen to me and I lost all my data and now it all syncs to my ex_sdcard and Dropbox haha..can never be too sure

Yeah I never flashed anything it was an over the air update basically that went bad. The last time I flashed software using odin I didn't lose any of my information it stayed on the internal memory and was there still. It truly is sad they roll out an update over air and it bricks your phone makes no sense.

I have gotten the phone to turn on randomly it turned on and is now regularly turning on however it is still in a bootloop will not allow me to enter recovery I can enter custom OS have tried to root but it flashes and does not stick with phone for the custom recovery I'm not sure what I can do now that the phone turns on any suggestions?

When trying to root or enter recovery I get recovery is not Seandroid enforcing set warranty bit recovery and boot loop

Have you tried connecting it to kies again to see if it will repair the corrupted flash? If not, Google your bootloader and Odin flash the full stock firmware

I have a t-mobile 910T note 4. I will try kies again not sure what my bootloader is or was I'm just trying to do what ever i can to preserve the data on phone will flashing stock again delete the internal I know with root with my other note 4 it didn't. This phone was never rooted the over the air update boot looped the phone

I would definitely try using kies or even adb from command to see if you can pull the data from it. Flashing a full firmware will wipe all data Yeah so I'd use that as a last resort

Not to sound stupid what's an adb command

On this forum I have found just the bootloader available to down load if I download the full rom is it going to wipe the internal memory here is the link I'm referring to http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/mirror-stock-tw-t3260858
I think I might have it figured out just need clarity on if flashing just the bootloader will do the trick I also got a set warranty kernel on boot last time as well.

If it were me I'd install the following:
Twrp custom recovery : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347792887
Make sure you have latest drivers from Samsung. Flash twrp and see if you can boot into recovery and then either wipe cache or flash a bootloader zip from there. At the very least you could pull files from it once in recovery

If that doesn't work then I'd read this guide on adb setup and commands. It seems daunting at first but incredibly useful

I would visit your local tmobile store and have them look at it. Besides smartswitch they have a program they can run and possibly restore your phone before it gets totally borked up.
This could help justify rma with Samsung.

My phone was dead. I used the original note 4 cable and it worked like a charme was able to odin to stock (new firmware) and root. I dont see any way out other than loosing all data

I know if I can get the recovery on the phone I can get the pictures on to my pc because I had a phone that was android locked that I did myself and rooted recovery and was able to get the pc to see and transfer files to pc so why is it showing this image am I doing something wrong?

I would visit your local tmobile store and have them look at it. Besides smartswitch they have a program they can run and possibly restore your phone before it gets totally borked up.
This could help justify rma with Samsung.

They don't have that machine any more I use to work at t mobile that machine was a joke by the way I'll be able to get a replacement it's the funeral pictured that are most important to me they didn't sync to drop box for some reason and that's my main reason for trying to get the phone working. I've flashed everything I've been told to flash I still get the boot loop and the stupid se android reinforcing set recovery or set kernel etc currently it's recovery if I try to initiate recovery via the buttons it just boot loops

My Note 8 Had a Bootloop then never turned on / charged [PLEASE HELP]

Hi Guys this is my first time posting here and hoping to find a solution to what I'm experiencing right now.
This is actually the second time and what happened is that my phone got into a BOOTLOOP so of course, Ideally the first thing I did was to forced it to shutdown using the Volume down + Power button combination and so I did, the phone turned off, But after that, When I tried to turned it on again, it won't turn itself on. I even tried to hold various button combinations but to no avail, nothing worked. Aside from that, I have tried to plug in the charger periodically after 20 - 30 seconds with the same interval before plugging it out and repeated the cycle for 20 tries but same result, it didn't worked as well..
So I'm here hoping that someone will be able to help me out as I don't know what to do anymore and I badly need to use my phone for my studies as well.. :crying::crying:

Hello @johnmark21t, I will do my best to help you to figure out what's going wrong with your Note8
Have you tried to boot into download mode (volume down + Bixby + power button) ? Does it work or not ?

If you can't boot your device into Recovery Mode then the motherboard is fried. You are better off getting a new device rather than replacing the motherboard

That's what I'm also thinking about but I cannot comprehend as to why it became like this as my phone was just on standby mode and then just turned off by itself and by the time that it restarted, it was stucked on the Samsung logo in which after I saw that it was like that, I have forced restarted it so I think that's my last conclusion but I don't think that that is the case for me...

What rom and what kernel you have what modes?. What twrp you have? You have flash wrong rom? Wrong kernel? Is impossible for the phone to turn in boot loop mode itself. You did something wrong before the bootloop. Try volume up and Bixby and power button for 30 secs. Or volume down and Bixby and power button for 30 secs. Motherboard failure no give you boot loop. Give you blue screen. Try to flah with Odin is the easy way.

Unfortunately I'm only at stock, not even rooted and I don't have custom recovery mode installed.. all in stock. Even the Odin mode is inaccessible as well.. and again I didn't do anything prior before this happened..

Try connecting your device to a computer with Smartswitch installed and run the emergency recovery process. If that doesn't work then I would recommend that you take your device to a Samsung Service Center and let them take a look at it.
However you should be able to repair your issues using Smartswitch.

Download and install Smartswitch onto your computer. Then connect your device to your computer and launch Smartswitch. If your device is detected by Smartswitch then launch the Emergency Recovery Process.

I'd like to dig this topic out.
I'm also experiencing bootloop after latest OTA update. I've taken device to Samsung Service and they told me that it's faulty motherboard and they want to charge me 1300pln which is about 335$ so I'm like - Hell no, it's not worth it.
Anyway, I'm kind of sceptical about whole fried motherboard story, since recovery mode is working correctly, download mode is showing up as well. I tried to flash same firmware as it has now. It passed but result is the same.
Gonna download some older SW version and try again but maybe any other suggestions from you guys?

UPDATE: Older SW version downloaded and result is still the same. So yeah, screw it

Try flashing firmware that's at least one update above the version you have on the phone and after you flash it in Odin and it finishes with a "PASS" then go into recovery mode and do a factory reset in fact try doing a factory reset right now just to see if it'll work since you have nothing to lose at this point.

Have you got the Samsung drivers installed on your computer?

I had a similar issue with my note 8. Just today . My phone carrier sent me an update (from USA T-Mobile ) to install. I had my phone connected to power .. and Phone just died during the update . I wonder if motherboard got fried ...

Same issue

Any update on your phone?

I hope there's a class-action lawsuit about this. My Note8 had the same problem. An OTA update was done, and the phone shut off, never to turn on again. No combination of buttons powered the phone on at all.
