Problem Booting Note 10.1 n8013

Hello All,
I'm kinda stuck here and I think I have read and tried everything. Wondering if this thing is bricked. Signs tell me know, but don't know what else to do. Anyway here is some info. My note n8013 has a Redemption rom which I have had for a couple of months with no problems. Sorry don't remember the version. Either way I come home one day and its stuck on the boot animation screen. So i reboot it and it has the normal samsung boot screen, then it gets to the rom animation screen and gets stuck again. I cannot get pass this screen at all. Next I try to boot into TWRP so that I can restore to a previous backup. As I hold the power and volume up and reboot I then let go on power and keep holding volume up, then I get to see the TWRP logo, it disappears and reboots. So I am unable to get into TWRP. So then I go into download mode which seems to get there fine, but no matter what I try to flash with odin it fails. I have the same version odin v1.85 and drivers I had when I first started messing with this. I then try all the new versions still no go. I have tried to get the latest TWRP and CWM with odin. Nothing. I have also tried a compatible rom and nothing. Many thanks in advance.

By any chance are you using Windows 8 with Odin? I've heard there could be problems with W8...

Sorry I forgot to mention what version of windows. I am using Windows 7 SP1 64bit. I am just wondering why I cannot load TWRP direct from my Note anymore. Like I said it shows up and disappears. I have backups I made from that, just cannot get back to restore it.

Did you try to do a factory reset in TWRP and or clear the cache?
Then try to reload factory ROM in Oden.

I think it makes sense for me to brick this some how and maybe get a warranty swap. I've only had this since Oct 2012. I cannot give it to them like this when they see the animation of a custom rom. I've never had an issue with any device till this. Driving me crazy :silly:

Try flash a different recovery is about all left.
Possible likewise flash just a kernel.

Man I tried everything I can think of. It may just be a hardware issue. I called for samsung support and they sent me a shipping label. Hope I can get the warranty with this custom rom animation. they will also see the twrp logo when trying to go to recovery. Makes me nervous about sending it in.

Have you tried installing a new copy of TWRP or CWM in Oden?
I have seen were people have issues starting after TWRP or CWM recovery, they say to make sure that you have un-check "disable Auto Reboot" in Oden.
there is a tutorial here that explains it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102677

[Q] HELP : Phone stuck while flashing via Odin

Hi ,
My phone got stuck/frozen while browsing and no button was responding. I removed the battery and reboot it only to have it stuck at boot screen.
It shows the first screen with model number then as it moves to Samsung boot screen animation it freezes. I used Odin to Flash the ROM.
I tried with these ROMS
I9103XWLA4_I9103DRELA1_I9103NELA1_HOME.tar.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and
I9103JPLD1_I9103OJPLD1_I9103XXKJ2_HOME.tar.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but the process stops with the following message:
Code:
--Applying Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
Cant access to '/system/csc/INU/system/'.
successfully applied multi-CSC.
When I reboot again(by removing battery) it stops at the same screen with following message on top
Android system recovery<3e>
reboot system now
apply update..
wipe data/factory reset..
wipe cache...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Kindly share your thoughts on how can I fix now.. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
P.S I already flashed via odin from Indian stock rom to XXKJ version mentioned above few months back.

Are you sure you followed this guide properly and did not check on CSC instead of PDA?
about the screen you mentioned is of recovery mode. try entering into download mode and repeat the whole proccess properly (Guide)
yesterday only i flashed this Rom via odin.(although it stuck in between at first trial but succeeded when i tried again) you could give it a try.
if you stuck at samsung logo after flashing follow these steps.

Yes, I did use the guide properly and check on PDA then loaded the md5 file. I will try with the ROM you mentioned. I hope I won't loose any data as I could not create any backup. Also, is my post in the right section or has to be moved to developer section to get more responses..

Yes it is in right section.
you will loose all data (messages,contacts,apps, etc) you wont loose sdcard data (songs, videos, etc).
keep practice of posting screenshot if you face any error. this makes it easy to understand about the error.

But the last time I flashed to GB only, I did not loose any data(contacts, apps, etc). Will flashing to ICS will delete everything? Also I was planning to stick to GB only. And what does the error "Cant access to '/system/csc/INU/system/'." means? Can't I fix the phone by trying to resolve the particular error rather than trying ICS directly ? Guys who faced this type of error please comment your suggestions.
Thanks.

Thanks for your replies and comments.
I have tried both GB and ICS Indian ROMs.
With GB ROM, although I did not get the "can't find the file /system/csc/INU...." but the phone is stuck again after showing "successfully applied multi CSC". The process doesn't go any further with a kind of disabled progress bar under it.
With ICS ROM, I don't notice any such messages but I see a droid with a crystal which stops animating after some time. There was no progress for half an hour after which I removed the battery.
Is my phone having any serious issue. How do I proceed now ??

When I flashed indian ICS the log was as shown in 'Message' box in SS
i have never faced any thing like CSC in log which you are facing. If you are using any odin version other than 1.85 then try 1.85. Also compare the screenshot process with yours.
If you still dont get success then i think you should visit Samsung Service Centre. they will only guide you properly.

Thanks for your reply Nikhil. I am using odin3 v1.85. I just tried to flash with ICS ROM and attached are the screenshots, if you can notice anything going wrong while flashing. Also after the success message the phone rebooted and after two black screens the android animation stops. There was a progress bar indicator initially, which disappeared when screen went black 1st time.

Go to recovery mode and do a factory reset.

Exactly so you can see now there isnt any CSC in logs guess u were doing something wrong!
anyways, now download tar file from here and flash cwm recovery v4.0.0.2 or any other recovery through odin. then perform factory reset. it will boot properly then.
Note:- performing direct factory reset is bit risky. Read what Adam77Root and Disturbed said

Dude,
I was talking about the log on my phone screen. I am attaching the error displayed on my mobile when flashing non Indian ROM's. Before I do any factory reset I would like you all to have a look at the error where the flashing process is hanging.
Update: The second screenshot is the complete process while flashing in odin3. It hangs at this point after showing msg "successfully applied multi-CSC". The difference is if Indian ROM is used, the error "cannot find /system/CSC.." is skipped. In any case the flashing doesn't proceed from this point. If I reboot by removing the battery, the activity is shown in first screen shot. As ICS ROM flashing doesn't show any text msg of what process is going on in phone I have used GB ROM to display the message.
I highly appreciate your comments and need your suggestions as to which way to proceed.

If you got the first screenshot.just do a factory reset as it appears in the screen you have given in the first screen shot.NOTE:try a factory reset in the stock recovery donot flash CWM. It worked for me.

[Q] lost recovery screen

Basically, i was in the process of rooting the device. I have 4.0.4. So, I am able to run Odin, with it showing "success" on the screen. I unchecked auto reboot. So, I unplugged the USB, and when I try to reboot into recovery, I get nothing, just a black screen. The samsung logo screen will come on and then go away. I hold volume down and power button, and then let go of power button. Prior to running Odin, I was able to see the stock recovery screen. But now, I can't get to any recovery screen. But the phone will boot up no problem, and I can get to the download screen no problem as well. I am not sure what to do next. Can anyone help me or does anyone have any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Thank you.

brother try flashing cwm again
also there are many other recoveries you can try them if available
also there are many backup apps [although i cant remember} which have feature of booting into recovery so find and try them
good luck:good::good:

I tried flashing through Odin about 5 times. It says 5. For custom binary downloads... but when I reboot, I just cant get it into recovery. After flashing through odin, and odin says complete, I unplug tablet and try to reboot into recovery, and I get nothing. It almost seems like its going to work but it doesnt. Also, I cant even update the system upgrade.... im guessing since I cant get to recovery screen, neither can the devixe when it tried to update. I'm lost at what to tey next....

Are you positive you flashed a recovery that is designed for your Tab?

Oh nice idea... I used the files in the how to post in the dev section. But I couldnt. Find the 4.93 tar file so I downloaded it somewhere else. It may have been bad I guess? Like I said, everything worked until I had to reboot to recovery. Does anybody have the. Philz touch4.93 tar file? Thank youguys for your help. I appreciate it so much. None of my friends are into this stuff, so you guys are all I got. Lol.

I tried starting over from the beginning of the steps but nothing works. I just get the same result. Does anybody have any ideas of what I am doing wrong or any suggestions? Thank you for your help in advance.

So you got two problems.
One is the los of your recovery en two is the root.
I alway's use the cwm recovery.
and for root is use CF-Auto-Root-espresso
Btw what tab are you on, P5100 P5110 or ??????
That could make a diverance.

For the root

http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/

Did you check the MD5 hash for your CWM zip? If it is incomplete it doesn't stand much of a chance at working. On Windows I use winmd5free, and on the tablet I use MD5 Hash (Free, No Ads) from the Google Playstore to verify the MD5 of anything I download before flashing it.
Personally I've used the unofficial TeamWin Recovery 2.6.3.0 zip (TWRP) on my P5113 to install CM 10.2 from the Nightly builds.
Also, verify your device is really rooted. I used RootValidator, again from the Google Playstore, to check after rooting my Tab the first time.

Okay I will try checking md5. Thank you so much. Also, I have sgh i497.... how do I know 5110 vs 5100?

Goto Settings, About tablet (scroll down to the bottom of the settings to find it).
Check out focussoft's directions on how he rooted his sgh-i497. Note he refers to an older version of TWRP Recovery in his instructions.
I used this to root my P5113.
It is easy to confuse the volume rocker switch directions. Remember that the side next to the power button is Volume Down!

P5100 is the one with a simcard ( 3g/phone )
P5110 is the wifi only tablet
P5113 is wifi and Infrared

Okay, I have 3g and wifi on here so I have 5100.

Make sure you have root.
Look up mobile Odin. The lite version is free but make sure you grab the correct kernel flash file for your tablet.
Download the latest cwm/philz/twrp of your choice for your device and use mobile Odin app to flash recovery.
I've occasionally had issues getting into recovery on my 3113 and found that powering off, plugging it in until the battery icon shows then holding power and volume up and quickly unplugging the cable seems to help. Continue holding volume up for about 5 seconds after the black screen shows and it goes into recovery 99% of the time.
I should note that I only have that issue if I flash incompatible rom and kernel combos or wipe my system and accidentally turn the tab off in recovery mode.

Here's the thread. I'll edit this post in a second with the right recovery.
If you flashed a bad kernel you wouldn't be able to boot past the Samsung screen at all, except to get into download mode. If you can boot to the rom, it's not the wrong kernel. Likely just the wrong recovery or a corrupted recovery download.
Brb, hold tight.
Oh boy... we have a big problem...
I just rececked your model number from your signature....
YOU DO NOT HAVE A 51XX TABLET. DO NOT FLASH 51XX FILES.
What you have is the AT&T 4g model.
Flashing files for any other model can potentially permanent brick your device as all the hardware is completely different.
Let me get back to you again and see if I can find a real recovery option for you.
Ok, here is a good recovery for you. Try this and get back to me.

GT-P5113 Bricked After Firmware Update?

I apologize if the easy and simple fix to this issue has already been posted, but so far, I've read so many different "solutions"...none of wwhich has worked.
Yesterday, I accepted an OTA update, after which my tablet never booted up again. It will partially boot up, but will get "stuck" on the glowing Samsung logo. It will not proceed any further, and will just sit there on the logo until the battery wears out.
I've been able to get it to the menu to wipe data, etc (holding down the power button and volume up), which I DID, only to have the tablet reboot to the glowing logo and sit there yet again.
I don't know what to do. It doesn't sound like Samsung has a fix for this software problem? Or is there really something wrong with my tablet that I'd have to send it in? Sounds like others who have done this have received their tablets back, "fixed", only to have the same thing happen again when they did the OTA update, OR if they did the update through Kies.
I'm a newbie. I'm not a techie. If there IS a fix for this, can you give me STEP-BY-STEP instructions on what to do? AS if you are talking to a child? haha...thank you so much! I'm SO upset...my tablet was beautiful, and now it's just dead...

Alright...I did get it into recovery mode, I factory reset it, then hit wipe cache partition. It started the process, THEN I saw "ERROR" flash quickly up on the screen. Then it began to boot up again, and here I am, STUCK ON THE GLOWING LOGO AGAIN.
This didnt work. Anybody else have a different suggestion?

[Q] HARD BRICKED S3 Like I've never seen

Hello I have tried to avoid posting this at all cost, however after days of relentless research I have drawn a blank. I have a friend who had a Verizon Galaxy S3 and when he went to reboot the phone it went into a boot-loop. Before I had a chance to look at his phone, he took it into a place to get it looked at. After taking it there they returned the phone to him and said that it was hopeless and now the phone would not boot, vibrate, or go into boot into download mode.Soon after this he bought a S4 and gave this one to me. I want to fix the phone so that I can give it to my wife to use, however I need to try to get it going from there. I know that the boot-loop problem was caused from a bad power button, which I successfully changed out. The phone was operating on 4.3 and was never hacked. After many hours of searching I found some really good debricking information including the debrick file for 4.3. I was able to finally get the phone to boot, but not very far, all I was able to get to come up is the following on the Display and I also included a pic:
Boot Recovery Mode
Check Boot Partitions.
Copy from T-Flash.
Boot Recovery..
Write 159488 sectors.
FLASH WRITE FAILURE
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SCH-I535
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: None
QUALQUAMM Secureboot: Enable
Warranty Bit: 0
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 1
This is the first instance when I have had to write a post for help and help I definitely need. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

you use Odin to flash stock 4.3?

Sorry forgot to mention that, yes I did try to use ODIN to flash the stock 4.3, when tried to flash, ODIN would come up with a fail every time. This is where I am really getting stuck. When I boot the phone with the SD card, the information that I gave earlier is all I can get the phone to do. I cannot flash anything to it and it will not go into download mode and I have nothing that I can select from on the phone. Thank you again.

Try to use Odin again and flash the pit file with Odin along with the stock image.

I'm confused what you're saying though, you can't enter download mode at all? That looks like you're in download mode.

There's no option in the recovery to boot into download mode? I had a similar problem with 2 older droids (Galaxy Proclaim and ZTE Merit). I screwed around and hard bricked one and soft bricked the other. One would turn on and vibrate but the lit up and stayed black and the other was stuck on a boot loop. Neither could boot into download mode.
Luckily a few days of googling and I found a solution with odin and adbtool... I was able to get them to detect the phones and I used the tool to force one into download mode and Odin to flash firmwares, bootloaders, and roms.
Also do you know was the phone rooted?

Well after several days of trying I am still at square one, I have read and read many post and cannot seem to get anywhere with this darn thing. I get nowhere with Kies, Verizon Tool hangs up at 83% and disconnects, and Odin will not flash anything including a new PIT, which is what it says my phone is missing. I have also attempted to NAND Erase all as suggested in one post and unchecked Re-Partition when trying to install the PIT and new stock ROM provided by the guides.
BadUserName, I was thinking that I was not in download mode because when my phone boots, it comes directly to the screen that I posted in my original post. At the top of the screen it says Boot Recovery Mode so I assumed that it was not in download mode because I never got the other screen that it should have booted to. Again the screen shot that I sent is the only screen that I am able to get it to boot to and will only boot when I use the SD card to boot it from. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you and take care.

Ya I don't think you're in download either.
So volume down + home + power boots you to that exact same screen?

Yes, even if I boot holding down volume down + home + power it still boots to the same screen shown in the picture that I posted with the text that I posted in the OP. I know that it is having issues with the PIT, but no matter what I do it will not flash a new PIT. I am not sure what 1000phones did, but they did something nasty to this phone. I know the power button is now good because I replaced it with a new one and I am a experienced 2M tech and it responds when I only hit the power button, so I know that what ever the problem is it is software related. I have also tried multiple cords and computers to flash this phone with. All the correct drivers are installed. Again I greatly appreciate any and all help on this one.

Ya, well if you aren't in download mode you can't flash anything from Odin.
Can you make a USB jig from a micro USB cable and try to force it into download mode?

I am not too sure how to do that, all that I have read about and tried is using a class 10 micro sd with the debrick file for 4.3, which is what this phone has.

That's for a hard brick, yours isn't quite hard bricked.
Look up how to make a USB jig, or you can buy it for cheap on Amazon and eBay, but that's what I would try next.

I did look at how to make one and it seems pretty straight forward and completely doable, however my phone will not even turn-on, vibrate, or charge without the debrick sd card. From what I understood is if the phone will not even respond to anything without the debrick SD in it, it is a hard brick. I am a Noob when it comes to this phone, I was able to help another friend out get his right up, but am stuck on this one. I am use to messing with HTC phones, so I am defiantly learning as I go with this one. Thank you again and do appreciate all your help.
Just added a screenshot of what ODIN is doing no matter whart I do to flash my phone.

Try checking re-partition?

Unfortunately I have tried that with no luck. When I try flashing it with the re-partition checked, ODIN attempts to flash then immediately comes back with a fail. Never have I ran across such a stubborn phone when trying to repair or flash. I think that this is something that has a lot of people stumped at this point. I am still appreciative about any help that will lead me in the right direction. Tomorrow if I get a chance, I am thinking about going to Radio Shack to get the parts I need to build a jig to see if that does anything. Thank you and take care.

Ya it isn't in download mode so it isn't going to flash.
I think you might be able to get a jtag repair to fix it at this point. I can't think of anything else. if it's hard bricked then you can get a riff box to force a bootloader transfer and boot from your internal card.
Maybe try doing the hardbrick method again after formating your external SD card. Sounds like you're doing everything right.

Seems like it is on download mode, but can't write anything. Have you tried with NAND erase all checked?

It isn't in download mode, it doesn't say "do not turn off target" and it's displaying information about a recovery partition.
It's in some sort of system diagnostic mode. Never anything I've seen before.

As stated in one of my replied, I did attempt a NAND erase all but with no luck. All I got was a fail in ODIN and the phone displayed erasing in blue but does nothing else.

That is why I started this thread, it is really weird. At first I thought that I was doing something wrong, so I formatted my SD card several times and reflashed the debrick file and got the same thing every time. What ever the phone repair place did to the phone they did it good. LikeI said, a brick like I have never seen. Thank you and please let me know if anyone can figure something out.

After doing some more research and trying, I am curious to know if it is possible to obtain a PIT from someones phone that has 4.3. When I look at all the available PIT files, they are from a while ago and none were extracted from a S3 with the new 4.3 OS on it. I am curious that since mine has this unique brick if a possible change was done to the new PIT file during the 4.3 update??? If anyone can post this for me it would be greatly appreciated. I figured at this point it would be worth a try.

I've got the exact same error screen you've run into. I've tried to NAND Erase All and that failed. Going to try re-partition now
