Hello every one on this forum, I need your help regarding my Samsung Galaxy note GT N7000, I woke up yesterday to find out that my phone need some update and i press ok and I went to the bathroom to get ready for work and by the time i came back my phone as stop working completely and I tried to reboot it but to no avail, I need your help pls.

were you on gingerbread and what about root? any custom rom? can you still get into recovery? Or did you have clockwork mod? i wonder if it was upgrading to ICS and your phone died? Just some things that might help narrow down a bit.

Galaxy Note not booting after firmware update
Hi,
The same thing happened to me today. My phone indicated that an update was required. When I proceeded to install, the phone is stuck at the SAMSUNG logo.
My phone is not rooted. About a few weeks ago I had upgraded from GB to ICS.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Facing the same problem
Hi all,
I am facing the same problem since this morning. I have not rooted my phone. Recently I upgraded my Galaxy Note from Gingerbread to ICS 4.0.3. This morning, I upgraded the firmware, as I had done this in the past as well, I didn't think it may lead to any problem. But since then, the phone starts and shows Samsung prompt. Is it because of any bug in the latest update? Does anyone know what to do in this situation?

I am facing the same problem, the Samsung logo keeps glowing off and on after the boot chime plays.
Does any one have any clue about this? I think its happening to India users who got this update.
Edit: I am unable to go into the recovery screen as well. The green droid shows, some loading happens(tries to?) in the bar below and the screen turns off and if I keep holding the buttons the same cycle repeats. Leaving them at any point leads to the Samsung glowing logo and no boot!

Another one bites the dust
Faced the same problem yesterday...running around to get my contactsrescued...even the authorized service centres are only assuring flashing it -0 as if it is a big obligation
Need someone to access dram... jtag to a usb mode...going to try at heera panna & manish market tomoro - both in Mumbai

If anyone can help - kindly upload post

Found the solution!!!
Hi Guys, I've found the solution.
Edit: Since, I received queries from many people, I would like to know from the advanced/experienced members if the solution I am suggesting is absolutely right or not, and if it could lead to any problem. My phone is working fine, I haven't lost any data.
The solution:
1. Download the stable ICS version released in May.
2. Install it manually using the ODIN settings.
Guys, please help us out, let us know your opinion.

using just the stock rom
this update flashed on the notification and after installation doesnt go beyond the

[Q] Note II Failed Update to 4.3 even 4.1.2

Dear all,
I'm in serious problem now. I'm using Samsung Galaxy Note II - N7100 and I'm from Malaysia.
For my country, the Android 4.3 not yet released but I had flashed my ROM to the India ROM which released last few days ago.
And after tested for few days, I found there is some issue and I tried to downgrade it to 4.1.2 but it failed. Until at the end, I end up my device with soft brick. I lost my IMEI number previously and now I successfully get back.
FYI, sorry that I'm newbie and I don't know that the KNOX security prevent to downgrade until now I know it.
Now, I have a device that is rooted. FYI, I didn't root the device but it rooted itself and also now I'm in trouble is whatever official ROM I tried to flash, it will be failed. I had tried to flash back to Android 4.3 with ODIN but it show me failed. Only one ROM that is allowed which is the ROM that come with my phone, Android 4.1.1.
One more weird thing is that I did do Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Partition but when it goes into the Android interface, I could still see my previously connected Wi-Fi SSID there. It seem doesn't delete at all but for other things like my files, all are deleted.
I had tried many method to unroot the phone, reset the binary count and etc. But all my efforts were in vain.
I using ODIN to flash my phone. Please, Please and Please help me. I really had no idea what to do.
I'm very depress now. Please help me.... Please....:crying:

As i don't know anything about knox security or something like that, i don't really know how to help, but i found a link which could help you eventually....especially now, where you are rooted.
Good luck :thumbup:

[Q] Rooted Verizon Galaxy S4 Problem

Hi.
I made an account just to post this because I honestly don't know where else to go. I'm new at rooting so please explain everything in simple terms.
I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 a few days ago and everything was great. I did a few soft mods with Xposed and Wanam and everything was still great. I thought I would wait until the weekend to do some custom ROM flashing and whatnot since I knew it was a time consuming process.... MAN was it a time consuming process. Mainly because I messed up my whole phone.
I installed Safestrap v3.71 (CWM Recovery wasn't compatible with my phone or something...?) and flashed Hyperdrive RLS13 to my MK2 build Verizon Galaxy S4 on ROM Slot 1. It worked great but I saw that all my free space in my internal memory was taken up because of my Stock ROM being too large. So I proceed to wipe data from the Stock ROM slot after backing it up and putting the backup on my computer. I factory reset the Stock ROM and hit reboot. I think the error occurred because I forgot to reselect the ROM Slot 1. Or maybe factory resetting like that isn't supposed to happen... I don't know.
But now my phone won't boot up all the way. It's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen. I tried booting into recovery but it just takes me to the stock recovery. Apparently Safestrap is unable to be booted into directly or something... so i tried to factory reset from there and it did.
Now my phone won't even go into recovery mode. If I try it will say "Recovery Booting" but the screen will go black and reboot again and get stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen.
I HAVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE ON THE INTERNET and nothing directly applies to me or is simple enough for me to understand... I am currently downloading the NO-WIPE method stock ROM or something for what I think applies to me from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209 so I can put that into Odin which I downloaded (but don't really know how to use) and it says it will take 3 hours to download. GREAT. More waiting. I would like something quicker if possible.
SO MY QUESTION IS:
WHAT THE HELL DO I DO???
Specs of my phone again:
Verizon Galaxy S4 SCH-1545
Android 4.3
Build MK2
Kernel Mk2
(I'm not even sure what all that means but there it is)
ALL HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED BECAUSE I DON"T KNOW WHAT TO DO!
Thank you. So. Very. Much.

Ive broken my Note 2 (ROM upgrade gone wrong).

Hi Everyone,
I come to you for a bit of help. I have spent a long time trying to fix this and come for help from you guys.
So I got a little bored with standard Samsung Android on my Note 2 (GT-N7100). Having used Cyanogen before, I decided to try it on the note.
I rooted the device and installed CWM on it no problems. I then loaded CM from a micro usb.
On reboot it just gets what i'd call the "Spinning blue screen of death" where it just has the big blue circle going round until it runs out of battery. After some research I used CWM to clean out the caches etc but it still didn't appear to work. This was using the stable version for my Note 2. I then went on to try other versions and got the same issues. Alas, trying to do a restore didn't work either, as it didn't seem to have all the files.
At this point I am happy to go back to stock Android or indeed CM. I'd just like a phone that works!
My device details:
Model GT-N7100
SSN: -N7100GSMH
Network Provider Virgin UK
Any help appreciated.

[Completed] Formatting Samsung S3 Problem

Hey, so basically I'm in a situation where I have no idea what to do.
I recently just got a new phone, and am going to give my Samsung Galaxy S3, SGH-T999V model - from Wind Mobile to my Dad. Basically, when I first got the phone - a couple months after, I decided to try Rooting it, and I did, successfully. Since I didn't really know what to do with my rooted phone, I decided to unroot it - then tried rooting it again some months later, but it didn't work successfully. Basically my phone wasn't rooted, but I had the "Team-Win" recovery on it.
I wanted to bring my phone back to it's original state - and have the stock recovery on it. After some Googling, my solution seemed to be to flash the stock rom for the SGH-T999V model onto my phone using Odin. And I did that - and it worked successfully. But I still couldn't check for OTA updates or anything, it said my phone had still been modified in an unauthorized way.
Now that I need to give the phone to my Dad, I have to format the device and erase everything. This is where my problem starts. When I try to format it (using the Stock recovery), I see a bunch of error messages, with the Android logo falling down in a kind of dead way. I reboot my device, and nothing changes.
It still has all my data, and everything on it.
Sorry if this is the wrong area to post this (I'm relatively new to the forum), and if my problem doesn't make much sense - I've tried being as detailed as possible. Could anyone help?

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Flashing the stock firmware should show you to get ota's. This should have everything you need,http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/samsung-galaxy-s3-sticky-roll-thread-t2344125.
