Hi friends, i have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100), which got turned off suddenly after an official software update recently. when i tried to restart it was struck at logo display, i tried recovery mode and it says cannot mount and cannot recover, tried wiping out cache, tried factory reset but it didnt work. Then in download mode I tried flashing custom rom, official firmware downloaded from sammobile, through different versions of odin but none of them worked. suddenly my phone got turned off completely, not even logo display, when i connect charger it is not charging, charging led is not lit., nor any charging symbol on display. i checked my battery in another device it still have 90% of charge. and i checked my charge also it is working fine. now my question is can a software ( firmware) only problem causes this situation believing that there is no hardware issue. if so please suggest me how to recover.
Hi !
I would recommend you to search and post your issue here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055736&page=205
Be sure you have downloaded the correct firmware for your device variant and that the battery has at least 70% power , keep your phone connected to charger for few hours
Good luck !

Hello,
I'm using GT-i8552 stock 4.1.2 (UNROOTED).
I did root my phone with 'Framaroot', the rooting was successful and SuperSU was installed properly. After this I didn't try installing any custom ROMs or any conflicting apps but still I started facing battery issues like,
1. After putting on charge, display shows that it is charging but no progress at all (it freezes at certain %)
2. When the phone is switched off and put on charge, the display just blinks up and goes off (lights on lights off) nothing else appears and no battery progress
3. Sometimes the phone charges properly to 100% but after disconnecting cable, battery status is 50-60%
The above problems occur not all the time.
The things that I tried,
1. Did unroot my phone and removed SuperSU
2. Did a factory reset from phone's settings option.
3. Got an original new battery from service center
4. Took the phone to Samsung customer care (they couldn't find any problem at all and advised that the problem must be in the charger) (I tried to charge with samsung charger, sony's charger & portable charger)
5. Changed USB cables for charging
6. Tried Battery Calibration apk by Nema
7. I think the charging port is little bit damaged but I can still get the phone to charge
Even after doing all the above things the problems still occur sometimes. Other than that the phone works fine, there is no BOOTLOOP.
When I try to boot it into recovery mode (volume up+home+switch on and release after SAMSUNG logo) but after releasing the buttons the SAMSUNG GT-i8552 logo appears and phone starts with no warning and all, it's not accessing the recovery mode or download mode too.
Is there any solution to the battery related issues or do I need to flash the stock firmware again?
I am not aware of the steps of flashing firmware, please do redirect.
Thank You!!

Hello!
Around a month ago I installed a custom rom on my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (SM-P905), which ran smoothly until a week ago, when my tablet suddenly wouldn't leave the Samsung Galaxy Logo screen when booting. I was also unable to access recovery (I had TWRP installed), however I was able to access download mode. Then I decided to try to install the stock firmware using Odin. It seemed fine until it was about halfway through the installation, when it seemed to disconnect and the installation failed. After several attempts this still happened. I also tried installing both TWRP and CWM, both of which passed in Odin, however I am still unable to access recovery mode. I also tried installing the custom rom, with the same results as I mentioned earlier. In addition to this the screen has also begun flickering a whole lot, both when showing the Samsung logo and when in download mode, however it seems to intensify during the latter. This, in addition to the fact that I am unable to get any response when it isn't hooked up to my computer, has led me to believe that there is some issue with the battery as well, however I am absolutelly clueless at the moment.
I also have to mention that this is my first post here and my first attempt at installing a custom rom or doing anything of this nature to my devices. Any help would really be appreciated!

Your battery connector needs to be re soldered first before trying to flash firmware.
Read the threat " Flickering Screen " for more information. Cracked battery connector will cause flickering screen, reboot, hang on samsung logo at boot..etc...
I had my phone just sitting on a wireless charger this morning and had been there for about 15-30 minutes. I noticed it was rebooting, odd I thought? I took it off and then realized it was going into a boot loop. I gave it a soft reset and then it would turn on and stay on for about 10 seconds before boot looping again. I again gave it a soft reset after a couple loops and now it seems to totally dead, as the title implies.
No button combination has worked and I've held them all down for well over 30 seconds each. I've tried plugging it into my PC and haven't gotten any response that way. The blue LED is on so I know it's not dead...I think? To make matters worse, I bought this phone off Craigslist about 5 months ago and it's the Exynos version so I definitely can't get any kind of warranty on it. I'm hoping someone has had this problem and can help or just has some advice. Thanks everyone.
EDIT: To keep this updated, I have been able to get into Odin Mode and have tried to flash stock firmware. Odin says everything went fine but the phone hangs up at the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo. I'm unable to boot into recovery mode and I've even tried to reinstall TWRP with Odin and that has not worked.
Seen the LED only problem before, waiting for the battery to drain and the phone to turn off seems to be the only known cure atm
Once it does, connect the charger for 15 mins, then boot directly into recovery and clear caches to try fix the bootloop, possible it may need factory resetting / clean flash of stock ROM
Using the MicroUSB > USB white adapter, you may be able to connect a power hungry USB peripheral to the phone to drain the battery faster, I use a USB desktop fan, but some people report it not working when it is stuck in this LED loop and have just had to wait it out
Thanks for that advice, I'll let it drain over night. However, I have been able to get it to boot into Odin Mode and Odin v.3 recognized it. I flashed the stock firmware but upon rebooting nothing happened and now it gets stuck at the Samsung logo screen. I can still get it back into Odin mode, which I believe will be the fastest way to kill the battery, but I find it odd that I can get into that but not recovery? I am rooted and have TWRP installed, if that matters at all.
If you can get into Download (ODIN) mode, then letting the battery drain probably won't help, that only seems to help when the phone is completely stuck with nothing but the LED working
Make sure you flash CSC (Not HOME_CSC) along with the other 3 sections of the ROM, using ODIN 3.12.3, that should factory reset the phone after the flash
If you successfully flashed stock with ODIN already, you are no longer rooted and do not have TWRP installed, flashing stock with ODIN replaces all that with stock
I updated Odin and once again tried to flash the 4 parts, making sure I used the right CSC file, but I'm still getting hung up at the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo. Do you have a suggestion as to which region's firmware I should use? I have been trying the Australia one from SamMobile's site.
EDIT: And to clarify, I have the G930FD(the duos one).

Any region would work, and the F firmware works for the FD too
Hi Guys,
So the issue seems to be straightforward and I read many threads about it, but none of them actually solve my problem.
My S6 is locked to Orange Poland (which is currently running 6.0.1 Android). I wanted to flash unbranded Marshmallow rom but that did not go well and in the process of flashing Odin returned an error (Complete(Write) operation failed). That's the way my phone became bricked. I tried to reflash this rom several times (while changing ODIN versions and also I tried single AP as well as 4 files + PIT). None of this worked. So I decided to go back to the branded rom—exactly the same as it was before.
Odin this time didn't show any fail messages and the phone actually started booting up. And here is my problem, it is stuck on the Samsung logo. I tried going to recovery mode, wipe cache and then factory reset but it still cannot go through Samsung logo.
My phone was never rooted. I have up to date samsung usb drivers. I tried SmartSwitch but it fails to recover the phone every time.
Do you kind people have any ideas?
Hi again,
Just a quick update from me. I finally managed to revive my phone. It seems that the bootloop was caused by the low battery (actually 0%, while being connected to PC). Once I charged the phone to 100%, it miraculously booted up and went to the setup wizard. I have no idea if the low battery had an effect on it, but once I charged it, the phone started to work properly.
In the end, I flashed back the stock rom with Orange Poland brand. The rom consisted of 4 files + PIT file. I used Odin3_v3.12.3.
Maybe this will help someone

Thats why you should always charge your phone to at least 70% before doing any flash :good:
Summary: I was installing a Slim7 custom rom on my tablet when before it finishes off the power went off and my device turned off completely, when I was trying to boot back on Recovery [TWRP] it won't work so thus Download mode it is completely dead. Thinking this was a battery problem (drained, I guess) I tried to charge my tablet but it doesn't charge properly, stucked in "cycle" logo inside a battery (but won't animate as usual) and doesn't proceed to actual charging animation.
"I am sure this was due to battery problem, I tried to install it with 5% battery (but charging on a pc). I think it didn't charge correctly until it ran out."
I tried everything that might help myself
- holding power button for few minute and plugging the charger after a couple of seconds..
- Using Samsung Kies
- Odin
So how do I fix this problem??
please help me.
none works. hopefully someone here is willing to help me out, thanks in advance
You should never use KIES if you installed a custom ROM or a custom recovery - it's likely to fail and giving "black screen of death"
