[Q] Note4 (SM-N910f) stuck on Samsung Logo - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My SM-N910F is stuck on the samsung logo after rebooting. This happend after I flashed it with a new stock image N9005XXUENC2_N9005VFGENA4_VDI (My provider is Vodafone in Ireland) and now it is stuck on the samsung logo.
I can get into download mode but not in recovery despite having flashed PhilZ's recovery. I have let the battery run down to zero and then tried to reflash it but that didnt help. I have tried to flash with the box ticked to erase everything but no joy. I get through the flashing fine but when it reboots after having gone into recovery it hangs on the logo and I cant get it to go further. Can anyone help?
(ps I did have a look through the other threads first)
Cheers

The clue is in the question, N910F/N9005.
You flashed a Note 3 firmware.

Nice catch JagDave!

RESOLVED!!!
1) I removed the battery
2) reinserted it
3) Booted into Recovery (volume up, home and power).
4) Wiped all cache
5) Reset the device to Factory settings
6) Rebooted and other than a basically new device no harm done!
Goodluck!

I was trying to root my Galaxy Note 3, KitKat, SM-N900T with Odin 3.9. Everything went fine and I got the PASS! message. I disconnect the phone and I expected the automatic booting. That never happened. The screen started to flash the RECOVERING ROOTING (blue), RECOVERING IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING (red) and SET WARRANTY BIT : RECOVERY(yellow). Nothing that I did after that worked to get rid of those messages. I wonder if my new phone is bricked now or if I have a chance of recover it. Taking the battery out and putting in again plus holding all the buttons doesn't stop the messages from flashing. Please help!

Thank you for the suggestion but no idea how to do it with a phone stuck in the booting screen. Any help on how to get rid of it? Once that is done then I can proceed with your steps.
Take the battery out, put back in (dont turn back on)and hold volume up, home and power button. It'll take you into download mode.
Then flash your stock ROM via Odin

I tried that many times. It doesn't take me to the download mode but again to the screen I mentioned. Frustrating!..
It just keeps bootlooping you mean?
Keep trying to get into download mode, might be that you're catching the power button first and powering the phone back on.
Can you get into recovery ? Volume down and power/home button.
You should be able to get to one of them at least

Try this.
Remove and put battery back in, don't power on.
Hold Vol Down + Power + Home Button all at the same time until the warning message comes up then let go of the buttons. Finally press Vol Up only and you'll be in download mode. Connect phone to usb.
Flash this CF Auto root courtesy of Chainfire thru odin. Not sure if CF updated it for 4.4 but one poster said it worked for him on his Tmo.
Optionally flash a custom recovery cause you will have a stock recovery after rooting.
help me!
I had the same issue, I did as you said, but now I am stuck at RECOVERY BOOTING... RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING Set Warranty Bit: recovery.
(it never shows the orange pirate rooting guy)
however, against all judgement I tried it with the sm9005 instead of the sm900t file and it passed into the orange pirate root guy, however it gets stuck at the boot logo, do you guys have any Idea what could be wrong?

I've got myself stuck a couple times... both times I booted into download mode and selected reboot phone... it worked both times. As stated in another reply, make sure you pull the battery then replace and make sure you are holding home/vol/power... and make sure you get the home/vol buttons before you press and hold power.

HI there, guys! I just read the whole thread and maybe you can help me also! I'm facing a less critical, but similar problem.
I use Omega ROM (Android 4.3 yet) and just after a reboot my device is stuck at boot animation forever. The only thing I did before rebooting was freeze S Finder using Titanium Backup (after it was enabled again because Samsung updated it a few days ago) and move some apps to SD Card using Clean Master.
The critical part is that I can't enter Recovery Mode to try to solve wiping caches because my Reactivation Lock feature is enabled, so I can't access it.
Is there anything I can do except from flashing stock ROM over Omega itself? I can't lose my files on internal storage. There are pretty important ones! =/

Other kind of boot loop...

Hi all!
Here is a little problem that i didn't solved.
i have a N910F Note 4 that likes to boot loop . I received it as it is and don't know what caused it(i suppose that was a rooting issue because had the knox value 1)
During the all time, PC and MAC were unable to recognize the Note 4, despite of repeatedly reinstalled drivers(older and newer versions) , Keys and Smart Switch were unable to recognize the device, PC is failing to install the MTP driver for some reason. I changed the USB ports,restarted,updated drivers,updated windows etc. -NO RESULT. BUT : Somehow Keys is able to run recovery and initialization and install it on the device while saying Connecting device... , phone also doesn't appear in device manager or file explorer as external drive.NOTHING! Odin and Jodin says ''added!'' and starts the job with no comments
1. I tried different versions of boot loaders with different versions of ROM (all for my specific model) with no result.
The end of the boot is when Samsung logo ,sound and graphic appears but freezes before actually starting OS, then restarts. IT keeps restarting until battery goes off(even while connected to pc by usb!!! ). Then starts to charge the battery normally.
It boots in recovery and download mode with no problems, it did every time i flashed it…
2. I tried different versions of boot loaders with stock roms , custom kernels etc...and the problem was the same
3. I tried to flash with Odin the stock 4.4.4 without problems but….the problem was the same
4.I tried Device recovery and initialization with Keys and here something interesting happened:
First time when i did it, it went over the samsung logo and booted. I selected language,i skipped wifi network selection and i accepted the user agreement. No matter how fast i was moving, the boot loop didn't went over the user name selection which is after the user agreement. Then freeze and boot again.
Second time when recovered with Keys (tried more stuff in the mean time) it went over the logo and started to update like…''updating applications 2of 17'' the max reach point was ''3 apps of 17'' and then freeze and reboot
I am out of ideas so i suspect that the battery might be dead because it gets empty even if is charging while phone is ''boot looping''. I ordered a battery,should arrive soon.
If that don't work…i am gonna spend some cash and sent it to Samsung for repairs (i bet that it won't be cheap because they will probably tell me that is the motherboard fried so they make you pay for being a bad boy and tried to root). Far as i know is not a brick as long as download mode and recovery works just fine.
Is here someone that has any new ideas for bringing this phone to life? Any help is well received , maybe i skipped something….
Thank you in advance.

Uninstall Kies, and install Samsung USB drivers: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347849220
Take the battery out, leave it for approximately 10 seconds, enter the battery back in.
Hold volume down key + Home key and power on the device.
Then plug the mobile phone into the computer.
Run Odin as Admin: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347851815
Then flash the firmware in the AP section.
Make sure that the firmware is for your region, you can download it from Sammobile or SamFirm.
i have the same problem, but mine doesn't let the samsung logo finish when it shows the letter S on samsung logo it goes restart again no sound or anything, recovery is accesible, download mode is also accessible, i can flash official firmware and factory reset but nothing change, still stuck in bootloop no one here in xda knows how to fix it i think.. or they just never encounter something like this
i know how to fix an ordinary bootloops or soft bricked.. but this one is different.. i think there's something with note 4 that causes this..

Yes, it doesn't go after the Samsung graphics , mine does sound. Goes to app updates only after Kies recovery but doesn't go more far than updating apps 3/17 for ex…crushes there and starts over….weird.
One time i managed to actually go to setup menu, choose country,wifi, device name, and there crushed and started over…. So i am thinking now that the battery might be wasted because i saw posts saying that after the 5.0.1 update many Note 4's went to boot loop and the battery change solved the problem. Now i have new battery coming by post.
Hi I had a similar problem but I do not know if that works but always worth a try
1. download recovery - "twrp-2.8.1.0-trltexx"(.tar) cant post link fresh in forum
2. flash recovery through Odin (AP) ( run as administrator)
3. unplug the cable
4. Reboot to Recovery (home+power+wolume up)
5. Then go to Wipe/Advanced Wipe/check the boxes - Dalvik Cache,System,Data,Cache and Swipe to Wipe
6. Reboot to Download Mode
7. Open Odin ( run as administrator) choise the rom to flash
8 Connect the phone
7. Flash Your Stock Rom
8. Reboot
always in Odin load the file first to flash and then connect the phone
sorry for my English

nah it doesnt work thats the first thing I do, that only work on ordinary bootloop
I was stuck in a boot loop the other day trying to flash a stock ROM to get rid of encryption. I tried all the stuff mentioned in this thread which is just standard procedure but I couldn't get past the samsung logo. What it turned out to be was that you need to go to stock recovery after flashing the stock ROM via odin and do a factory data reset then it will boot to the OS. It worked in my case, maybe you can give it a try.

if you read the above post you will know that we already wipe and factory reset,
btw since i was not able to fix it, it brought it to samsung service center and they also cant fix it so they are changing the motherboard, so far they are not charging me anything and just asking to bring my receipt of purchase so it will be under warranty

I read the post; however, it did not appear as though you did a factory reset after flashing the stock ROM only before. At any rate at least you're getting a new mobo out of it and problem solved.

Hang on second boot usually means a corrupt data partition or bad app.
After factory reset leave your tablet alone for 15mins. It should boot after that.

Go to recovery and factory reset again then immediately boot to Download mode and flash the correct firmware with odin.
Make sure there are no errors when flashing and it flashes successfully.
Reboot and wait at least 10mins.

It is not broken @pitho. I have been in this situation. The problem is occurring because Samsung is such a heavily modded rom, it takes a long time to load and just as @ashyx said, because of a bad app. Some apps are aimed for Vanilla Android, but the developer does not restrict the app only for Vanilla devices but makes it universal. So, in order to get out, download the correct firmware from Updato.com
Press on the OS Updates in the website and you type in the device's name and the current build and what kind of version you want. (Ex: If you have Marshmallow, and your device had Lollipop before, you could degrade your firmware)
Download Odin (Just search it up on Google and you should find a download link)
Plug in your device to the PC after it is in Download Mode (Volume Down + Power Button + Home Button)
On Odin, it should say Device added!
Press AP slot and find the firmware (.tar.md5 or just .tar) you downloaded from Updato.com and select it.
Press Start on the bottom of the application and it should start. It takes about 2 minutes or longer to finish flashing.
There! You just restored your device! It will take a few minutes for the device to boot up and should be installing any additional files that were included in the Official Firmware.
Happy Flashing with ODIN!

stuck in bootloop

i have read through these forums for weeks and followed steps perfect but no version of Odin will succeed in doing a factory rom flash. i had the s4 rooted and uninstalled the touchwiz not realizing it was the launcher required to boot phone. since this happened i cant do a factory reset and odin will not work. in fact last time i tried odin it put my phone in a bootloop where as soon as i put the battery in it boots and continues to reboot. this phone has a locked bootloader and come stock with 4.4.2 i dont want to post a really long post with a bunch of info thats probably not needed so if more info is needed please ask. thanks in advance
If the phone constantly auto-reboots, then your power button is malfunctioning.
As for the other cases, use a different PC, Windows and/or USB ports. A cable switch is advisable too. And make sure you have the right firmware for the phone.
Any of those factors can make a change.
Also, unless it's a Verizon or AT&T phone, there's absolutely no possible way that thing has a locked bootloader.
I have a bootloop on the Samsung first logo with "Recovery Booting..." in blue on the top left (Samsung GT-I95026)
I have flash TWRP recovery, the phone don't want to boot on recovery, it's just bootlooping, flashed stock firmware with Kies, still bootloop, Odin, same thing
So after searching everywhere can't seem to find anything that can help, I assume it's dead then?..

Is there any way to unlock bootloader in ODIN? I have I9506 with 4.4.2 that was on it at first. Then i have updated it to 5.0.1 in OTA. So you say that I need to flash it in ODIN with 4.4.2 to make it work?
None of the Galaxy s4 phones have a locked bootloader except for the AT&T, Sprint, Verizon versions.

S/N: RF8F20W841T
PDA: PL2 / PHONE: OJ2 / CSC: OK1 (NEE)
CAN'T BOOT IN TO THE SYSTEM (no matter what I can't make it to boot properly)
CAN'T ENTER RECOVERY (it's showing that's booting in to the recovery but instead of recovery it just restart)
CAN ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE (no problem with entering DM)
What I have done so far:
- Kies recovery with phone model number and serial number (still bootloop).
- Odin flashing STOCK rom from SamFirm download (still bootloop) (single and 4 files flash).
- Re-partitioning (flashing PIT file).
- Reflashing bootloder (still nothing).
- Tryed CWM, TWRP and other Recovery, non of them boot up.
Using those files to flash:
AP_I9506XXSDPL2_CL6069869_QB11747892_REV03_user_lo w_ship.tar
BL_I9506XXSDPL2_CL6069869_QB11747892_REV03_user_lo w_ship.tar
CP_I9506XXUDOJ2_REV00_CL1318424.tar

I would really appreciate help from someone more skilled then me.

Newbie Mistake, Loop boot, G950FD rooted. Help!

Hi,
I've looked everywhere before writing this so please forgive me as I saw there are a number of threads similar to this but couldn't find an answer.
Have rooted the phone a few days ago and flashed the Alexis Rom Oreo2.1S9PORT. As I had several apps that where acting up (no MIcrosoft Active Sync, no Outlook notifications among other things) I made a bit of a mess of it and decided to reset the phone by erasing all contents. As I went to boot up again the phone was in loop.
It goes on download mode and have tried with ODIN to reflash AP, BL, CP, CSC read everywhere looked on youtube but Odin fails each time. I've downloaded samsung drivers and firmwares to have Samsung Oreo back but to no avail.
Could someone please give me a hand in restarting the phone somehow? It's now in loop and I will wait until it dies down from battery failure as suggested in some threads in here.
Sorry to pester you.
Newbie...:crying:
latest ODIN screenshot. I don't know what more to try...please help...
Can you boot into Recovery Mode?
(Power off your phone, than hold: Bixby + volume up + power on button until you see the recovery mode)

No unfortunately. NOw the phone is battery drained.
THis is the Downloading mode. I can't think of what to do unfortunately. I've tried 3 or 4 firmwares as well.
Since I deleted through the phone system reset and not through TWRP (which I've now lost obviously) what would be the best way to reflash the mod (or the original Samsung one for that matter)?
ok I thought I made some progress, I've managed to reinstall TWRP and flashed again the Rom, Rom fix, and AOD fix. I was able to check the options of the Rom and the ROm installed succesfully. As I went to reboot I got stuck again in a loop with the SAMSUNG logo flashing continuosly. I can feel I'm close to a solution, could you point me in the right direction please?
The continuosly boot-loop could be the firmware doesnt match the Rom.
If you are game, try installing Renovate Ice: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ovate-ice-g950-g955-android-7-0-aqdg-t3598040
Click the orange colored RENOVATE ICE WEBPAGE link.
From the menu choose FIRMWARE, download and flash.
Then download and flash R.Ice rom - follow the How to Flash guide
