My phone won't boot up suddenly. Please help, thanks! - General Questions and Answers

It is Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100), unrooted, stock ROM.
It always stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 logo screen.
I can boot to recovery mode and download mode.
What should I do to save my phone? Thanks a lot.
I tried to flash by using download mode but I got these errors.

You seem to have wiped out EFS and system, yikes. Losing EFS typically doesn't go well unless you have an EFS backup to restore it.
Have you tried finding a OTA update or stock update.zip for your model number? If you find one you can flash it in stock recovery.

It is GT-N7100.
I'm not good at it. What is OTA update?
Where could I find the proper OTA update or stock update?
Should I use flash it again using ODIN and download mode? Thank you.

Google searching will answer all of your questoons, use your model number to search for a stock update that can be flashed by using your stock recovery(it must be a stock update.zip, it can't be a custom ROM .zip)
Do a Google search for:
"What is android OTA update"
"OTA update for (your model number)"
Or
"Stock update.zip for (your model number)"
Simple google searches will find what you need, all it requires is for you to use the right search terms, it not hard, it's just common sense.

It looks like it refers to over-the-air update, but it doesn't seem like to mean updating over Wi-Fi or wireless broadband, without plugging via USB to perform the update.
I tried but there are multiple options.
My phone won't boot up now. I couldn't even flash a stock ROM successfully. How could I perform an update?

It's a .zip file that you flash using stock recovery if any exist for your device. Yes, it is over the air but most of the time they can be downloaded separately then flashed manually in stock recovery instead of using the normal OTA process, but it's the sane file and same update, just done a different way.
There is also a thread here in the galaxy s2 gt i9100 forum that has steps to troubleshoot a failed Odin flash, it might help you.

Hi Everyone!
This is my 1st post in any fourms ever. I always get solutions by searching, but i guess am umable to find a correct solution for this . Am hoping if someone could re-direct me to fix my phone.
Issue:
My screen is stuck on the boot screen ( Galaxy Note 2 N7100 - screen). It doesnt go further.
Background:
I was using Diamond ROM for quite a long time. I have no clue, last night i was talking to someone and later i kept my phone in pocket and since then its stuck on that screen. I am not sure what happened or what caused it
I am using Philz Recovery, but when am booting to it
it has the below Error:
PhilX Touch 6.26.6
Clockworkmod v6.0.4.8
E:Could not mount /data to setup /data/media path!
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
I Tried everything possible (restarted may times, tried to wipe off the cache - it was not wiping)
Then i thought to reinstall PhilZ.
WHen i went to the download recovery on my phone and connected to odin v3.09 (which i used last time when installing custom ROM and it worked) phone is getting added.
But when i select AP to the PhilZ recovery file (philz_touch_6.26.6-n7100.tar.md5) and click on Start it is giving me error and it failed

OK so 1st question, is debugging mode on? 2nd, have you tried another recovery? Cwm or twrp? 3rd) have you tried a factory reset? Do you have a backup? If so try to restore it, failing all of the above try to flash stock ROM via Odin (as long as debugging mode is on)

Thanks for your kind response
So for the 1st one: Am not sure as my phone is not booting (It is stuck at Samsung Galaxy N7100 screen).
2nd: I tried to put another recovery via odin, it still didnt work ( got the same error as mentioned earlier)
3rd: In PhilZ recovery i tried all the possible options (wiping everything/factory reset but nothing works .... it gives Installation aborted .... or format aborted.....and above that it fails on opening the recovery path (E: )
and next:
I tried everything possible with the current recovery, but it fails on every step as its unable to access.
And i tried to flash it again with Odin, but it fails. I guess if am able to flash via Odin, the issue could be resolved. But itsays fail as mentinoed on the earlier error (under Odin error)
Hoping you could help me how to get another recovery installed or something.

Sounds like debugging may be off which is stopping you flashing anything, have you tried downloading stock firmware?

Has anyone figured out how to repair this error yet??? i've spent 4 days reading forums and google and whatnot and still i cant get this problem fixed. either solutions are for i9000 and not for infuse so procedures and roms are different. those who have infuse have not solved this error so i have no steps to follow. i've flashed like 7 different roms (some stock some modded) and nothing! i'm at my wits end i've been on and off on fixing this phone since 2013..... and anyone help me figure this out?? i'll answer all questions asap!

What's the consequence of this error? What are you doing when this error comes up? Any other messages?
I remember this one popping up before while flashing and it not meaning anything. Everything flashed fine. Mind you, this may have been with my primary phone, I cannot remember.

Consequence of the error is odd... I plugged my phone one night and left it charging in the morning the phone was off... When I wanted to turn it back on I got this error. This is not the only error.... I get another one E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD

Sounds like a hardware error. Are you able to go into download mode? How about recovery? Do you have CWM, TWRP, or stock recovery? If you have the first two are you able to make and restore backups, and otherwise access the SD cards?
Finally, are you running stock, or a custom ROM? I see you mentioned earlier that you switched ROM's so even if it's happening with stock, then it's becoming less of a software issue in my thoughts. But if you have full access in recovery, then that would squash those thoughts. At that point, I would try to find a working ROM.

Yes I can go into Download mode and I'm able to flash successfully it just won't reboot afterwards.... It gives me the errors. The only recovery I can go into is the stock Android blue text menu. My phone is rooted and before this error I had cwm... After the error and trying to flash and recover I can't access cwm. I've tried gtgs unbrick stock rom, entopy's kernel, a couple of modded roms like aeon or legend and nothing I get the same results... Same error. But all flash successfully. Right now I'm in stock GB rom

If you don't have ClockWorkMod I am assuming you are flashing all your ROMs through download mode. I thought that only stock ROMs were available for that. I learn something new everyday.
Anyways, it may be that Download mode is silently getting the write error when it comes to that partition. Did you try putting CWM back on?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881
I am really curious if you can access your (internal) SD card outside the boot process. If the partition table is shot, there is a process that repartitions everything, which in theory gets everything back to normal. It involved Odin, but I forget what the file was called. Pretty sure it was CWM itself, but I'm not sure (first reboot after installed whatever through Odin, I remember a voice alerting me to please wait while partitions are updated - about 5 minutes). I will have to look it up when I get home.

That's what it's looking like. Your cache partition looks fine, so must be your root partition (or whatever holds kernel and core bootstrap). If it was a desktop computer I would say either the partition table is bunged up or the tail end of the hard drive is inaccessible. I am stumped on how to get to the former. I will look at home for the Odin CWM file I had so you don't have to flash a whole ROM. It may just sit still forever like the CWM install you have (or it may not work at all because mine may be designed for i997R - Rogers kernel), but it's worth a try, since it's the only thing I can think of.

I'll pretty much try anything at this point.... Haven't used the phone in almost a year so I'll practically try anything. Kind of a bummer no solution still exists for this.... I'm thinking it might just be a hardware thing either way I'm standing by...

You are probably with AT&T so this would be a bad idea. It won't brick your phone, but weirdness occours like soft reboots. So with that in mind, try this link:

You are probably with AT&T so this would be a bad idea. It won't brick your phone, but weirdness occours like soft reboots. So with that in mind, try this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698367
...and download Entropy512's CWM red. If this doesn't load, I don't know where to go next.

Try the Infused Gingerbread kernel one, after putting an AT&T stock rom back on. Guess I should have been more specific, if you were to try the Rogers route. Think it will have the same issue, but the above file is the one I used for CWM.

Just did it...same result....i think i'm throwing the towel in.... maybe a year from now i'll come back to it and see if anything has changed... j/k but really i think we gave it a real go. i'm always open to more ideas but for now i think its possibly fried inside... thanks for all the help though!!
No problem. Best of luck!

a bit late on the reply but you might want to use the unbrick / Return to stock method in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705260. I had this issue too trying to install new rom. This should at least get you passed the error onto working phone if it's not hardware malfunction. From there you can install cwm and do whatever. Hope this help.
if your infuse is the AT&T one you can try this as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081

I never tried the one click version of it before.. but the normal Heimdall was a bit confusing for me compare to Odin. If I had not use Odin before Heimdall then maybe I would have gotten used to it..

normal Heimdall is confusing but the one click isn't confusing if you read what's on the OP but that sad this is that it doesn't have root :/ and what i have noticed is when odin doesn't want to recognize your phone heimdall will....and just to get root and recovery i flashed twice with heimdall second time for the boot loaders...then i flashed through odin for the root with recovery version

I remember fixing this problem by flashing (Odin) a "dbdata.rfs.tar" file from one of these forums. It was long ago so I don't quite remember where it was and what exactly my steps were. As far as my memory goes, I flashed I997UCLB3 via odin and then flashed "dbdata.rfs.tar". That fixed this problem. I will attach the "dbdata.rfs.tar" file on this post, hope you find a solutions :S. Sorry if you have already tried it >.<

I also try to recover with smart switch emergency recovery but failed, it gives me no emergency code
please suggest me as early possible, phone is brand new and just unbox it,
is it some kernel issue with new build ?
urgent help will be highly appreciated,
thanks regards
About the lights... i don't know what to say, it's strange.
Try to reboot to download mode again (Press Volume Down + Power for about 10 seconds to exit and after the screen goes black, press Volume Down + Home + Power to get into download mode again).
Download an Odin flashable custom recovery (TWRP or PhilZ) and flash it using Odin. In options tab of Odin UNCHECK Auto-Reboot. After installing, exit download mode and when the screen goes black again, press and hold Volume Up + Home + Power. Now you should boot into one of the recoveries you have just installed.
Now, download a custom kernel from XDA (it could be arter97 kernel, Adam kernel or any other) and install it in the recovery.
Now you should be able to boot.
P.S.: To install the custom kernel you have to transfer the file into the device somehow. So, if you install PhilZ, use sideload installation (it is located in the Install zip context in PhilZ) for the kernel zip, and if you choose TWRP, connect the phone to the PC, go to Mounts, disable MTP and then reenable it and your PC should now recognize the phone. Then transfer the kernel zip into internal memory and install.

Don't use the .img. Install the .tar.md5 of TWRP 2.8.7.2. You can download it if you search for zeroflte on www.twrp.me (devices).
Or you can try arter97's PhilZ Touch Recovery in .tar format.
Thanks villa for your suggestion, I update my 2nd post , pls read and suggest me

Hmm, I guess the system partition was erased even if it failed in Odin.
Install a Custom ROM (like Arrow ROM or Crisscross which you can find at Edge forums) and it should be ok.
The kernel would have worked if you had the system partition intact.

Did you wipe the Cache, Data and System before installing the file?
EDIT: After seeing the last image, I suggest reinstalling the bootloader. Something is not right with those lights.
https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B40ItdHKfkyQd1hJQXVDU3dDU2c#list
Download this firmware. Before installing it with Odin, go in TWRP and wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, Data and System. And then close the recovery mode and enter download mode. Be sure to use the latest version of Odin which is 3.10.7 (you can download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3446301&d=1440131361). After checking is everything is set up, put all the files provided in the zip into the correct place and start the operation. And a note, to be sure it will be alright, put the phone on a table or something while doing the operations and do not move the cable while it installs in Odin, it might give you a fail.
P.S.: If at the end it will give you an error at installing the modem, do not panic, restart download mode and install only the CP file which contains modem.bin.

There must be a way to install the modem...
Try to extract the modem.bin from the CP zip and rename it to modem.bin.tar. Try to install it then in the same AP or CP slot in Odin (you can try to install it either on AP or CP and see which one works).

Help! My phone becomes unbootable suddenly

It is Samsung Galaxy Note 2, unrooted.
I factory reset my phone to stock ROM about a week ago. Suddenly it became unbootable today. I didn't do anything risky. If my memory serves, I simply updated an app one day before this incident.
It always stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 logo screen.
I can boot to recovery mode and download mode.
The following errors displayed when I booted to recovery mode:

I tried to wipe cache partition. It didn't help.
1. How could I backup data in this case?
I just need to get back my photos.
2. How could I fix and restore my phone?
3. Is it possible to root/reflash the ROM without wiping all data (only my photos are concerned)?
If so, how?
Please help. Thanks a lot.
It seems like partitions are corrupted.
1. Unfortunately if data won't mount, you can't recover photos that easily **
2. Firstly try to factory reset from recovery again, if it doesn't help try to flash with odin the lastest version of the firmware ( You can download it from SamMobile ).
3. There are some ways to root that shouldn't touch the /data partition, Framaroot or Kingroot should do the job, but you need before to factory reset the phone to install them.
**
watch?v=a7z8W6b2CrQ
Follow this video on youtube, you should be able to flash a TWRP recovery which should allow you to use the file explorer.
If anyway data doesn't mount, it is a problem. As i said in 2. you have to flash again the firmware, and after that you need to root your phone and use a software like Diskdigger to recover lost photos (You need a lot of luck, many phones now just erase completely files making them unrecoverable )

I installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones
I downloaded Odin3 v3.12.3
I downloaded twrp-3.0.2-0-t03g.img.tar and twrp-2.8.7.0-t03g.img.tar
I ran Odin3 with admin privilege.
I chose "AP" and selected "twrp-3.0.2-0-t03g.img.tar"

I tried with Re-Partition checked. It still failed.
I tried both Odin3 v3.12.3 and v3.07. All failed.

[Help] Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930W8) bricked by Nougat update?

UPDATE: I wasn't able to fix it and ended up having to send it in to Samsung. There was something wrong with the motherboard and they fixed it pretty quickly. It only took about a week to get it back.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S7
Phone Model: SM-G930W8
Carrier: Sasktel (Canada)
My girlfriend's phone started spontaneously bootlooping this morning. The timing seems to correspond with the release of Nougat in our area. My assumption is that the update got rolled out to her phone and has somehow softbricked it.
I tried booting into recovery and selecting "Wipe data/factory reset" but I keep on getting the following message:
-- Wiping data. . .
E: format_volume: make ext4 failed on /dev/block/platform/155a0000.ufs/by-name/USERDATA with 1(I/O error)
-- Set Factory Reset Done. . .
Data wipe failed.

I've tried choosing "Wipe cache partition" but that doesn't seem to have an effect on the issue.
Next I tried to use Odin to flash the firmware from here
I tried flashing G930W8VLU2BQB6 (Android 7.0) as well as G930W8VLU2APK3 (Android 6.0.1) via Odin v3.11. Here is the log from Odin:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/004> RES OK !!
<ID:0/004> Removed!!
<ID:0/004> Remain Port .... 0
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
After the phone restarts it goes straight to the Android Recovery screen. If I choose the "Reboot now" option the phone will boot to a black screen. I'm able to adjust volume and the soft keys light up but I can't do anything but click the reset button at the bottom. The black screen message says:
Device storage corrupt
The data partition has been corrupted. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then there's a button at the bottom that says "RESET". After rebooting the phone goes to a blue screen with an android logo and the phone just says "Erasing". After a few minutes I get an error screen of a dead Android guy on a blue background with a big yellow triangle with an exclamation mark above him. Then the phone reboots and I just get the same error message from above that says
E: format_volume: make ext4 failed on /dev/block/platform/155a0000.ufs/by-name/USERDATA with 1(I/O error)
E: Data wipe failed

I've also tried installing TWRP via Odin but I get the following message on the phone:
Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock

Here is the log from Odin:

So yeah, I'm completely stumped and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi mate
When you flashed with odin what did you use CSC or home_csc file?
CSC will factory reset and should and should clean all your partitions, if you flash a differnt CSC than the one you have you may have to check re-partition option under PIT (odin) , check here
Factory reset before you flash...

I tried using both CSC and home_csc but the result is the same. I've tried checking re-partition under options as well. I'm not sure what you meant by PIT.
Factory reset doesn't work as per my original error.
try to flash 6.0.1 with pit file and make repartition in odin

Will try this once the (very slow) download finishes. Are PIT files specific to versions of Android or is it just per model? I found a PIT file here

There is only one pit for g930w8 model, so no need to worry about csc version. If you need fast download link for firmware (google drive link) you can check here: https://simunlockremote.com/galaxy-s-series-firmware/

Hi mate
PIT = Partition Information Table , it has the information need to format all partition , CSC file contains the right partition
yes, but as you can see on pit list you can notice that pit files are for specific csc

That is right , as I said the CSC has the right PIT table also what is said in the link i posted
Same information different words
6. Installing another country CSC or a network CSC will usually need the system partition size changing.
For this select PIT and this setting
If you are installing a multi csc firmware, and your existing CSC is in that firmware, then DO NOT select Re-partition.
You can check if your firmware is multi-csc by installing this app:

Thanks for the link. Finding links for these firmwares is brutal.
I downloaded this one and flashed it but I'm still stuck in the same loop. It always ends up on the blue screen that says "installing system update" then it will change to "Erasing" before ending up with the dead android and exclamation point. And then it boots to Recovery and says Data wipe failed. Any other ideas? Recovery does say Android version 6.0.1 again, but same issue as before.
If flash didn't helped your phone might have motherboard issues

I've asked for help in a few places and everyone seems to come to that conclusion. What a bummer. She only got the phone back in December.
Many s7 models have been reported with motherboard issues, looks like samsung have made some mistakes
