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

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.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy note GT N7000 not booting

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

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.

[Q] which rom shall i put on my tablet

around 1 or 2 years ago i bought my samsung galaxy tab 2 7 inch (p3100). it came with 4.0.4. it worked perfectly for all this time. a few months ago i installed final fantasy 4 after years. i got a cracked apk. after that my tablet started restarting by itself. i am using it and suddenly it restarts. i did factory reset. it didnt help. i then did another factory reset and i didnt put final fantasy 4. it still didn't help
i then put 4.2.2 then tried to root it. the rooting failed and boot sector got damaged. a shop fixed the boot sector, put 4.2.2 and rooted. unfortunately it didn't solve problem as it still hangs and restarts
i installed clockwork recovery and did complete wipe. i removed android from it. i want to flash a new rom
which one shall i get? i need it in english, to be stable and not hang and it should support my belkin bluetooth keyboard
there is raspisimon.no-ip.org/roms.php] . it shows some roms. i found out there is omnirom, pac rom, paranoid android, slimroms and aokp. which one do i choose?
the most important thing is i want it to stop hanging and restarting. why is it doing that? if that problem still happens after i put new rom i will "retire" my phone and buy galaxy tab 3
I had this happen to my 10.1" and thought it was a goner. I had to run an ADB script from recovery to actually reformat (not just wipe) the system and data partitions, but this is some next level stuff that if screwed up can truly brick your device...
Try Googling it because I don't feel comfortable sharing the info where people might mess it up and blame me.

[Q] Reinstalled stock rom, can't get upgrades

Hi, I'm sorry if this has been asked before, basically a few weeks ago I was having problems with my Tab 2 p3110, it just wasn't running right. At around the same time I ordered an EZCAST hdmi device for my tv.
Well, I used Odin and cwm and taught myself how to upgrade to kitkat withCM11 nightlies, great stuff, fixed the issues I was having.
Then my tv dongle arrived, the one feature I wanted to use more than anything was screen mirror/AirPlay. No you can imagine my dismay when I couldn't even find the option in cm11, I found cast screen but it wouldn't work.
So, having tried several nightlies hoping the problem would be fixed I settled on reinstalling the stock 4.2.2 rom following the instructions on here. It bricked my tab 2 but I managed to get it going again and reinstalled the stock rom after several days of trying.
All this to find the screen mirror option was not available on the stock rom!! I can't figure out why but thought, maybe, an upgrade was needed, so I headed to the update tab to be told that my device was modified, updates are not available!
To be honest I'm ready to throw it in the lake behind my house I'm that frustrated, does anyone have any suggestions on getting screen mirroring working?

Here... get the clean firmware here. It will give a pure system that won't trip the modification check.
It will also give you the factory recovery system.
Look up the p311x PIT file and when in odin pick the size that matches your tablet.
If it hangs at boot try doing a factory reset from recovery.
That's what worked for me to allow me to check updates.
I can't say that this will fix screen mirror, since I've never used it or seen the option on my p3113

Thanks for that. I can't find my model number on the list, The british one is close and as thats where I live i think i'll give that a go.
Thanks again for your help
Didn't work, still saying that the device has been modified and in download mode shows "count 1"
Any other ideas?
Triangle away?

Hey, I use my tablet with the Samsung Smart View ap.
You must have the right samsung tv for it to work and it's not perfect, but it is a nice feature. I stopped updating my tab because this is the most important feature for me.
I rooted my device and have the same issue as you, that's how I came across this thread.

[Completed] Gt-N5110 root problem

Bare with me, I'm a total noob and I hold my hands up, I got a galaxy note 8.0, rooted it fine then I went to install CM 13 for it following partially instructions partially my own knowledge and now it's muffed. No matter how many times I tried it wouldn't work and I was messing around with it all night last night and all day today and in my infinat wisdom I removed all OS from it full stop. I have been sat here for 6 hours trying to put cm on it (tried 11, 12 and 13) tried installing stock marshmallow I downloaded from some site, and even some other ROM I can't remember off the top of my head (the logo is a horse's head or something) and yep nothing what so ever i have tried several different boot thingies like twrp and it always fails when I try to install the ROM, I know I should have backed up and I thought I had using titaniumbackup but that went with the OS. It's currently got twrp on it and I can get into that and connect it Odin (I think that's what it's called) but that's all I can do. Is it fixable or is it scrap? >.<
Update, after putting it down and thinking about it from another perspective I worked out a fix, it's back running 4.4.2 and works fine (on my note I will say the latest update of the Google app causes a problem with the system UI if you have Google now as your launcher) I'll update with full details in the morning in hopes that if anyone else has a similar problem this will help.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Have you tried any of the CM based roms from xda ? You may only need to update your recovery. Both of these should work on your device

S5 Rooted with safestrap and running 4.4 RicksRomV19.5. Need to update to fix issues.

Edit, Sorry, Can this be moved to Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I need a little help.
My wifes S5 is rooted via safestrap running on RicksRomv19.5. It seemed to be working great since I purchased it about 2 years ago. Well recently her phone won't come out of 3g, and then her phone keeps randomly turning off and when it restarts it shows a significant loss of battery. I tried replacing the Sim card to no success, it stays in the "Please wait well your phone is being activated." Never completes. So I put the old one back in and it works without 4g. I'm wondering if the Rom and Modem are causing issues being that its still 4.4. I have a replacement battery on the way just in case thats the issue. I'd like to try updating it to 5.0 or higher and upgrade the modem to see if it fixes any of the mentioned issues. I'm fairly capable of flashing and upgrading roms but havent followed any of the S5 stuff since I still use a Note 3. What do I need to do to get it upgraded? Thanks
