I've been using Moar rom on my Sprint Note5 for like a year. My phone has been fine until last night I had it charging and woke up to it in a boot loop.
I can only go into download mode and not recovery.
What are my options? My main concern is getting all of my pictures off.
Thanks
Just go back to stock with Odin. It will not erase anything on your phone. You can get all your photos off your phone then factory reset and root again. Just make sure repartition is not checked before you run Odin.

Did that, it did not work. Still a boot-loop. Has anyone else been on the same boat as me?

Hi,
I did the steps from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133
Odin succesfully uploaded the image on my Captivate. After reboot, I can access the recovery mode, but when I boot normally, I'm stuck with Rogers' logo and eventually the screen turns off.
Any ideas? For me it looks like my phone is bricked....
I do have a nandroid backup that I did with ROM Manager, but I'd need to find a way to install clockwork while in download or recovery mode.... but I don't even think it would make a difference...
Thanks.
Flash again. Make sure odin is running and you have the files loaded.
Boot phone into download mode. (Powered OFF, hold VOL UP & DN, plug in USB)
Flash the phone.
If that fails and you said you can get into recovery. Is there a selection to restore to factory in there. If so then use that and see where it gets you.
I forgot to mention that I did it twice.
I was indeed in download mode and using odin.
There's indeed 2 options I never tried in recovery mode. "wipe user data" and "wipe something else". I'll see if it does something. At this point I have nothing to lose.
Thanks.
hey that stock rom is my thread, i have talked to one guy that ran into your problem, i beleive he said wiping data helped.
did you use the pit file?
hasnt been a common problem, was there anything unusual about what you had before flash to stock? cm7? apps2sd? special partitioning?
Guys, the "erase user data" + "erase cache data" brought back my phone to life.
Thanks!
no problem. thats what we're here for.
now that 2 people have had this issue i will add a note on the OP of the i896 stock rom thread. thank you.
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)

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

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!
update wouldnt install the stock way so decided to force it with odin first it just failed in odin on the last step, so i found the cf auto root method ran that and now i cant even get back to download mode help!!! thanks.
edit was able to get back into download mode figured out i was pressing the button the wrong way. anyway tried reflashing the 4.1.2 build i found and after flashing it says "fail" at the modem stage, so i restarted download mode and flashed the cf auto root again, it started to "update apps for 4.1.2" and kept rebooting itself where it left off, now when booting it said "starting apps" and just reboot again and now just keeps rebooting.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you done a reset since flashing?

What kind of reset? (cant factory reset dont have a recovery to do that with) i've tried taking battery out and putting it back in and it just boot loops after installing the cf autoroot file. so i than tried flashing the 4.1.2 file and it fails again, like a vicious cycle. downloading the stock image now i just want the camera to boot again i shouldnt have bothered with the update lol.
edit: installed stock image get same fail message at modem part, so ran the cf autoroot again it than restarted and "upgraded" all the apps went all the way through this to to finishing boot and now is boot looping again!!!!!!!!!! errrrrr i should have never even bothered with all this.
don't you have at least a stock recovery?
holding zoom+ while turning on my galaxy camera boots it into a simple recovery mode.
4th option is "wipe data/factory reset"
the stock recovery doesn't have as much options as cwm or twrp, but it's enough for a reset.
for recovery or download mode you always have to power down your camera completely, if quick startup is enabled it goes into standby instead so you may have to pull the battery first.

My phone is stock rooted, I was trying to make a back up of the stock rom in TWRP. As soon as the backup began, my phone rebooted and now it won't get past the T-Mobile screen. Anyone have any ideas?

If I had your problem the first thing I would try is to
remove the battery, wait a minute then re-insert it
then power on the phone.
If that did not fix it, I would go into twrp recovery
and click on the "Wipe" button and do a factory
reset.
Good luck!

I've removed the battery for a few minutes but that didn't help. I didn't want to, but I guess I'm going to have to factory reset.
Having this same issue

I am having this same problem and tried to do a factory reset and it is still not working. Is there any other solution you can think of I am thinking of using Odin to flash the firmware since I am able to access the screen that allows you to do so. My only concern is that I would not be able to since I have my phone locked with samsung cloud. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm almost positive that if you flash firmware with Odin it unlocks the phone protection on it. So you can do that and get back into your phone.
Thanks for The response! So i tried that, but it failed and now when i turn on mu phone it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
After I updated my ROM and with through the set up process I thought it would be a good idea to checked the lock reactivation through samsung then afterwards I forgot all about it and went through TB and deleted all samsung apps off my phone...
Now if I try to uncheck the lock reactivation it force closes my settings so I'm thinking I should just just factory reset my phone and when everything boots back up enter my Samsung account info or would the phone act up trying to factory reset with the reactivation lock on the phone
I need to get into my custom recovery and I can't since lock reactivation is checked :/ any help is appreciated
Make sure you have stock kernel and recovery, otherwise with reactivation checked, you might end in forever bootlooop.
Note 4 ?
Are you able to boot into your phone?
Yeah my phone is fully functional I'm able to do everything fine but it's just when I mess with anything that deals with samsung account it force closes for example I tried the data reset but it force closed when I hit it
What I think I need is the Samsung apk or w.e I deleted inside titanium backup that deals with samsung accounts I'll send someone some beer money if they can help me to uncheck reactivation lock lol
Can't get into recovery with the power button + home button + up volume button combo?
new info
phone now is stuck on a bootloop since i think i copied/cut things from /system folder
does anyone know if there is a way i can get my phone back to stock or at least back to normal through ODIN?
remember im pretty sure just trying to odin a stock ROM will not work since it will fail, since its locked reactivation and i cant boot the phone either
who ever figure this out will be the man and ill throw $20 to make it interesting..

Flash cf auto root for our phone in odin with the reset and auto reboot unchecked. Very important to uncheck those. It will fail to flash. Pull out your battery and put back in. It should boot as normal
As for your first problem you should download ib4 sampler pack in his rapture thread and install those apks hopefully the one you need to uncheck reactivation will be in there.
well i tried the cf auto root thru odin and right at the end it failed like i thought it would because of the reactivation lock so i pulled my battery and tried booting up the phone and I am still stuck on the t mobile screen... I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to get my phone working again with odin failing because of the lock any help is appreciated.
You could try flashing a stock rom through recovery.
Then a data reset.
Or odin to stock then factory reset.
Im not home at the moment to try but i have a feeling trying to odin a stock rom will not pass since the reaactivation wont let odin doing anything right and i cant get into my recovery since it will pop up saying custom binary failed due to reactivation lock
