checking for updates screen stays on... - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

The phone was working fine, I did hard reset from the phone Setup menu, selected the WiFi network and the phone went into never ending (5-10 minutes) screen "Checking for updates... This may take a minute or two". There was no lock of any kind, no rooting, firmware flashing or anything - what could be wrong?
Went to boot reset menu wiped the cache and did one more hard reset - same thing.

just reboot the device. common issue.

Thanks!

[BUG]Infinite Reboot

Hello.
I'm opening this thread because my Diamond seems to be diying and I wanted to know if someone got an idea.
Yesterday, my phone suddendly rebooted without warning after a month.
I thought It was nothing, but the phone started to reboot allthe time. The phone boot, show my operator logo (befor the winmo loading screen), and then reboot again, again and again.
I decided to do a little Mtty maintenance and reflash (from internal memory). The phone reworked for a couple of hours and restarted to do a reboot loop. I thought the rom I was using was in fault.
Re Mtty maintenant and flashing the phone with mu Prange stock rom. Several hours léter, the phone restarted to boot.
So where I am ?
If I let the phone off (like a night), he will launch windows and will works between a couple of minutes from a couple of hours befoor rebooting. If I put the phone in bootloader mode It won't reboot and will wait with his beautiful rainbow screen. But if I leav the bootloader mode, reboot over reboot, yay !
When the phonedecide to boot completly,it's a regular soft reset, not a hard reset.
Did anyone here have an idea ? Thanks !
How often did you flash since you have your diamond ?
Try to reflash a radio. Maybe your flash memory is dead =/
It sounds like the rom image might be corrupted - I had this problem with a 28003 rom I tried in which the phone would take a hard reset - boot fine - reset and reload fine... and then whenever you tried to restart it after that it went into a boot loop that eventually came up with a screen saying "the phone cannot boot because of uncertified software or incorrect shutdown procedure"
I solved it by putting the phone into bootloader (switch on holding both power key and volume down key) - connecting it to my computer and reflashing it. It DOES NOT need a activesync connection in this mode but you do need the Hard-SPL on the phone (im running olinex 1.40)
hope that helps

Thx JoOos and Jemmauk.
But I already tried to reflash the Radio and the rom Image.
I Tried 3 different Rom images.
One orange official , aztor re-evo and an another one.
But the phone don't display any errors. It will just never stop to reboot without saying a thing.
Same problem in a different thread
Have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5279740.

[Q] a problem after installed new ROM (Froyo 2.2)

I installed it yesterday via Kies. after finished, it told me to reboot then I did, When I turned on the phone, it just started as normal with flashing S logo.
10-15 seconds later the screen turned black and the menu and back buttons lights on with a vibration sometimes.
I just cant use 3 buttons to get into any modes or use CMD to get into it. I just bought it last week and never installed any ROMS in it.
Any help, please?
I've had some issues after Kies upgrade... my apps kept crashing and not responding. I think I even had the same problem like you. All I did is a factory reset. Go to Settings -> Privacy and under Personal Data you'll find Factory data reset. Try it. Be carefull before doing a factory reset, try backup your data (phonebook, contacts, messages etc.) Hope it helps
I cant even get into the phone. got stuck at the logo..
the phone will auto reboot... how come you have to reboot it yourself?

[Q] Glass Stuck in "Glass is Updating" Boot Loop After Factory Reset

I factory reset my Glass today because it wouldn't connect to my phone (I switched roms so I needed to pair Glass again). After I did the reset it went into a boot loop. When it's on the "Glass is Updating" screen it can't be accessed via ADB, but I managed to figure out how to get it into the bootloader via the buttons.
From the bootloader I've tried erasing and flashing 16.2, 16.11, and 16.0 but it just returns to the same "Glass is Updating" screen when I reboot.
When I erase, I erase boot, recovery, system, userdata, and cache. When I flash, I flash boot, recovery, and system. I've tried with and without flashing userdata.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong?
EDIT: Something really weird is going on. I ran the erase without flashing anything back on and did a reboot. I expected it to stop at the bootloader since there should be nothing to load, but instead it continues to go into the "Glass is Updating" boot loop.
EDIT 2: I've been doing a lot of reading and it sounds like there are more partitions than just the bootloader and the 5 that I have been erasing. My guess right now is that my device downloaded the 16.2 update into some other partition before I did the factory reset and now every time it boots it's running that update. I can't get much info from the device because I can't use adb.
I had the same issue when I tried flashing 16.2. I went back to XE12 and it resolved the issue. The whole point was to get away from the train wreck that is XE16.x anyway, so I'm just going to stay on 12 until the XE17 images are available - then we'll see if that release is any more stable.

Click to collapse
That did it! I didn't try a version back that far because as far as I know mine had XE16 on it when I first got it.
Thanks!

[Q] Help - Reflashing not fixing a soft brick

A couple of days ago, while sitting on the dresser, my XT1053 crashed and has not been able to fully boot and stay alive since. It will give the "bootloader unlocked" message, start all of boot animations, get to the blue-green one and then crash. To get a reboot, I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds, or it just drains the battery. Every once an awhile, the security screen pops up and it will crash, or I can get in, the launcher and services say they have crashed, then the phone shuts off.
I have an unlocked bootloader, but not rooted and was on 4.4.4 before the crash. I can usually get into the bootloader menu, and to recovery. If it crashes, I usually have to restart and do a hard close to get into the menu.
Fastboot works. I've followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53228057&postcount=148as well as the order in the .xml file that came with the 4.4.4 rom. Everything comes back "OK"
Is there something else that needs to be re-flashed to get it working?
The strange thing is that even though I have erased userdata and cache etc., on the rare occasions that I get beyond the boot animation, it still seems to have my custom message and the security pin. Is it possible that the cache and user data aren't actually getting erased? How do I check?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Wi-Fi Problem

I don't remember if these problems started with the new update I got but my Wi-Fi has been disconnecting a lot and, sometimes, it gets an exclamation mark. Is not my modem, I've done soft reset, removed battery and much more but there was one "fix" that revealed another problem abd, maybe, that's what's causing my Wi-Fi troubles.
So I go to the recovery screen to wipe the cache and a blue screen jumps reading "Installing System Update..." but after a while it changes to "No command". It's here where I press the combination for recovery again and this is how the recovery looked like

I wiped the cache, rebooted my phone and it works fine except for the Wi-Fi.
