N910H stuck in bootloop - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried flashing the stock firmware and now I keep getting the Note 4 logo going on and off every 5 seconds. Tried flashing 2 other roms and both show a failed sign on Odin when they reach hidden.img. I can still reach download mode and recovery mode though. I've also tried installing the stock firmware via Kies and its still stuck in the bootloop.

if you have flashed CM13 from RaymanFX build 8 or higher recently then you have a corrupt IMEI and that causes the BootLoop
also check if the C-roms or stock one are for SM-N910H and not C model , bcuz there are also bootloops caused by Modem , goodluck

I had build 10 from Rayman's CM 13 before this. Is there a way I can fix it? The one I downloaded was for N910H. I even tried one from Kies. Thanks for the reply

I can't seem to find it, could you please link me? Also can I apply these fixes even though my phone is stuck in a bootloop?

The bootloop is gone but I can't connect to my network. I couldn't backup the IMEI file because the phone was completely wiped.

Without the imei, you cannot use the phone for any cellular activities like sms, calls and mobile data. Also, editing imei is considered illegal so you will not find any methods to restore it here.

Quick FYI and correction -
Hard Brick = Won't power on or do anything.
Soft Brick = Can still access the device - bootloop/power up/bootloader/recovery.

Did You ever tried a full wipe several times before and after flashing?
Post some more information.
1. Where did you buy the phone
2. PDA/CSC/Baseband
3. IMEI still displayed as a number or is it null/null
4. Do you have EFS, FSC, and FSG backups
5. Which stock rom(s) did you flash
It sounds to me as though you have been flashing the wrong stock rom for your device. The behaviour you describe sits in line with that.
i bought it From official Samsung Shop, and it was running like normal before this problem.
IMEI is ok, not showing null or anything like that.
didnt help

Okey you need to get EFSBackupPro and use it to backup efs and fsc and fsg partitions. Just Google it and you will find a link to the thread here on xda.
After that you need to tell us what is the phone model. Look at my signature to see what a model looks like.
I think you flashed the wrong stock ROM. We need to find out which model phone you have so we can link you to the correct n9005 stock ROM.
You must make efs backup first. You can lose your imei and I have not seen a working method to fix the phone if that happens.
Efsbackuppro has bricked Note 3's previously. I wouldn't advise it.

Not sure about what happened in those case. It is quite literally a GUI that runs a few dd commands, that's it.

I have the exact same problem and I think it's a hardware problem. This was happening to me yesterday and is not related to software. I think it's the sound IC or dac.

After flashing stock rom, do FULL WIPE using recovery.
You did not mention doing it.
I did this and no change. As I mentioned I don't think this is a software problem. I did remove cameras and usb charging port even the upper hedfone port and is the same behaviour. One of the iC is malfunction . I did stop everything that is related to sound and I use now my phone as a tablet with no sound and recording capabilities.

After I was looking over schematic of motherboard and online for similar hardware defect I think is the audio codec IC WCD9320 that need to be re-balled or replaced. On the MB it has the the code U707. I will try this tommorow.
CHECK
I did not seen any Note 3 with full sound hardware bullit , but I faced to not have sound when I flashed a different firmware and I tryed t update trough ODIN to the last firmware nf3 nf4 TRY THAT AND put your news here , DON'T TRY TO OPEN YOUR PHABLET DOES NOT HAVE PRB AND ALSO SAMSUNG INFO app from play... you will se your hardware is ok and also your sound codecs )::)) ODIN 3.07 is the most stable >LAST FIRMWARE (UPGRADE) PROBABLY TO TRY INSERT YOUR CSC AND PIT Country files ( AREA CODE for example XEO mine )
I did reheat al the components on the main board. Nothing happened. But... i did reflash (as a last try)with mobile odin the last build from south est of Europe and miracle happened is up and working well.

All I want is a reliable stock ROM :(

Hi all,
very new here and to flashing ROMs etc.
Anyway, bought a 2nd hand Note 3 a couple months ago. It had a custom ROM on it and I was experiencing issues with it.
I've since (after Google taught me), managed to get a close to stock ROM on it. But sadly Im still having problems, mainly WiFi and Bluetooth not working.
Can anyone please recommend a reliable, stock or close to stock ROM?
I dont need anything fancy...I just want to be able to use standard features (mainly WiFi).
Thanks all
I've been using the music of life note5 port 5.1.1 touchwiz rom for months and that's been fine for the most part. darkera13 released a s7 6.0.1 port like 2 days ago on the samsungvn forum, it's buggy but usable, but it's second version are sure to fix the little bugs it has (battery life is bad, can't access sd in pc, other bugs that don't affect me). There is one 6.0.1 s5 port here but I haven't tried it. If you really wanna try the latest touchwiz 6.0.1 rom, wait a few days/week or so for a more stable version, otherwise I'd try one of the 5.1.1 note5 ports in here.
Flash a stock rom from sammobile or samsung-updates via Odin .
Thanks

Have tried installing a stock ROM from Samsung Updates but still no Wifi or Bluetooth. Starting to wonder if its a hardware problem. WiFi etc does work sometimes, but then goes off for days at a time.
Really frustrating.

Could be anything. Even hw fault... Could you be more specific about:
What custom rom you had?
Is there any chance you had deleted something from efs folder?
Can you activate wifi and doesn`t find networks or the toggle is grayed and can`t do anything?
For bluetooth, can you activate it and doesn`t find devices or the toggle is grayed and can`t do anything?
Try this from sammobile.
Thanks, Im downloading now and will test it out.
Im not 100% sure what ROM it was as I didnt install it.
I do remember something about CM12 ?
Cant activate Wifi or bluetooth at all. It will try and turn on for either but fail and then grey out temporarily.
Ive only installed a custom ROM and havent done anything with an efs folder.
Could you please check if yout imei is there:
In stock rom it is in about device -> Status
Do not post the numbers here just look if the numbers are there

And all other too ?
Like serial number or so
Anyways I recommend you the following:
Download official kit kat firmware xxugng1 and latest lollipop firmware for your country
Do a factory reset
Flash kit kat with odin
Do again a factory reset (just to go sure)
Reboot and do the setup
Root it with cf auto-root
(If phone takes too long to boot remove Battery and start you phone)
When phone is booted Download triangle away
Launch it and reset status and counter
Than it will ask you to reboot or boot in download mode
Choose boot in download mode
Flash latest available lollipop for your country
Factory reset
And than you should not have any problems
(Do backup before it will wipe everything in your phone)

Check correct IMEI.
Check correct modem s.
Check CSC.
Try another kernel
Could well be that you have the wrong IMEI .
I would be restoring my backed up EFS folder first .

If you had a TWRP backup of your previous rom, you wouldn't have been in this predicament.
Try updating baseband version.
Your safest bet is to download Samsung firmwares from 4.2 - 4.4 and 5 & flash it via odin in consecutive order and check if your hardware works.
Or else it might be a faulty HW issue.
A twrp backup would not necessarily fix the issue if it was a hardware problem and it sounds like it is a hardware problem if flashing the latest stock rom does not resolve the issue.

I never made a back up as the phone came with a custom ROM that started playing up within days of getting the phone.
Am trying to find the earlier firmware versions to download now.

Yes, serial etc all match.
Just looking at the baseband and the build numbers. Should they match? As mine dont.
Baseband : N9005XXUGBOJ1
Build: LRX21V.N9005XXUGBOK6

No they should not match .
Modems/ baseband are often a different build .
Did wifi ever work properly? If not, it may not be worth fixing.
The easiest solution may be to find another phone that has a smashed screen nd swap motherboards.

Whatever happens to the phone, if the phone turns on, doesnt have any hardware issue it can be revived.
The universal method is flashing stock firmware through odin
Download your country's note 4 firmware from sammobile and flash it through odin
Works most of the time
For any more help pm m!
yeah. try flashing samsung stock firmware with odin. have you done it

The same occurred for my LG G3 D855 which has erased its IMEI just for trying 'restore upgrade errors' in the LG mobile support tool. From that onwards I have firmly decided not to flash manually in any way except when official upgrades / uupdates are released via KIES or via OTA update.
Please do not flash by your own as it is always risky. It is not a PC where you can take out the affected hard disk and fix it in a working PC and backup the data.
To all manual flashing persons :
If your phone succeeds in manual flashing, donnot brain wash others to do the same. Not all persons always do R & D in android like you.

Thanks for the reply but the main problem is that any OTA that comes to note 4 i download them and the device says to restart to recovery to install the Update and i say yes but when it goes to recovery the recovery wont function well since it shows dm-verity error and supported API : 3 the update process fails to complete . My imei is as cool as always i havent had a problem with IMEI since i bought the phone
at least 10000 people have note 4 and none has had the problem ???? REALLY ?
seems like im pretty f***ed up

Hi, i used to had that problem too, when i first flash a custom rom to my N910G i back up my stock rom.. everthing including EFS.. after that then i wipe everything like normal procedure when u flash a rom. till then 1 day i wanna go back to stock rom i accidentally ticked EFS while i wanna restore that stock rom back up and then i thought it was nothing serious until i flash stock rom with odin and when i boot into stock recovery that dm-verity message was shown, did so much research but no luck. my n910G was on a Singapore firmware, that time it had a update i just try my luck by downloading the latest SG firmware and then that message was gone! m now already on MM no problems like that anymore

Note 4 N910C Emergency Call only (Not Registered to Network) IMEICERT:PASS (IMEI Ok )

Greetings Folks
I have a N910C and as mentioned in title recently I got stuck in to this issue
How it happened
I had CF-Rooted my phone and Odin flashed TWRP for custom ROMS so I tried a few and was not getting the perfomance thought SimplROM would do it for me in order to install that ROM it said in instructions to install latest Modem and Bootloader
So i tried downloading the ones given in v6C BL was downloaded but CP kept on giving me errors getting stuck at 7% on mega so being stupid I downloaded DPCB(MODEM) While ROM was offering DPK4
So everything went fine until after boot I realized am facing Not Registered to Network
Since I had experienced this before on other phone I went ASAP in dialer to check my IMEI & SN both are still intact
I knew about EFS unfortunately I backed it up on Phone Storage which was wiped for ROM and I forgot (So dont have EFS Backup )
I do recall years ago back when I had S3 I experienced this and sometimes flashing different firmware(CSC ,Modem) fixed it
What I have tried so far
I have already tried several stock ROMs most of em had DPI1 Baseband except 2 other ROMS no luck
tried combination file method too (the one that helps downgrade to kitkat i believe ) no luck
Tried XEO repair Firmware no luck
any suggestions ??
and on that contrary now that I am not on stock is there any way to find out which CSC and Stock ROM this phone originally was one or came with with IMEI or Serial I believe ?
Thanks in Advance
Anyone??
under the battery there's the serial number
install on your pc samsung smart switch program
run it with option of emergency software recovery - device initialisation
input the model of your phone
input the serial number
start
have patience and a good connection
your phone will (eventually) get the latest official firmware

at least you'll have a working phone with stock rom

Hey there bud I have almost tried most of fixes I could I'll give Smart Switch a try as I recall I checked before it didn't have initialization just the recovery mode, while in Kies 3 I did try initialization method by model and SN but it prompted device doesn't support initialization
Anyways do you think it could fix network?

Yep. Same problem as mine. Im kinda lost now since i dont have anything; even in stock rom it cannot go beyond connecting to my carrier. It only able to read my contact.
Im guessing its a motherboard problem? Isnt it @w41ru5?

I don't know. Usually it's a modem issue when not recognizing the sim.
If it's a 910F snapdragon it might be the infamous eMMC issue.
If you have an EFS backup try to restore it from recovery TWRP.
Assuming its modem problem, its related to motherboard i guess, right?
Finally got the phone working, only to discovered that SIM not working. Really wasting my time and hype!
Plus, its hard to search for n910c replacement board here.

The firmware, not the physical one.
Did you try to flash the 4 files repair firmware?
This is an example, I don't know what phone you have
https://firmware.gem-flash.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=7081
Did you try the SmartSwitch pc program?
"...4 file repair..."- what? Ive google it until im almost run out of data here and you have a possible solution? You must be active in note4 forum.
One thing i noticed that, the IMEI and Serial Number are different from the sticker included.
I will try it, but not immediately; waiting for thurday-friday for data renewal.
My phone is n910c
EDIT : just checked the page you gave. I have few question;
What should i do with the files? What are the step? What are the program needed?
Is it related to SmartSwitch as you mention; need to use it?
Thanks!

EDIT : just checked the page you gave. I have few question;
What should i do with the files? What are the step? What are the program needed?
Is it related to SmartSwitch as you mention; need to use it?
Thanks!

1. It's good you still have the IMEI. Not so important if they're different from the sticker. Where did you buy the phone from?
2. So if you go to check the 4 files repair, you need to search on that site the files for a 910C.
3. Did the phone worked on your country provider? If yes, maybe you need to search for the 4files corresponding to your region code.
4. These 4files have to be flashed with Odin

5. SmartSwitch is an alternative to get the latest firmware for your phone according with the model and serial number.

the "firmware.gem" are useless. the error says i need another package (i assume a quota) to download the needed files.
im currently testing "zfirmware", but have a doubt since it only give 1 type file (which country is it i dunno). but yeah, since my phone like that, it wouldnt hurt to try
EDIT : yep, nothing changed. the device not even bricked.

If something does not work, why do you give up so easy?
http://www.mediafire.com/file/a2fdo0xm9nat5jt/N910CXXS2DPJ3_N910CZTO2DPE2_ZTO.zip - this is marshmallow
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087001472 - this is for lolipop
Put the phone in download mode, open Odin and try.
And try the smartswitch also.

I tried files from LP and MM. It didnt work. And also smartswitch.
I was hoping that it will brick the phone (if i ever missed a step or incorrect file) but it didnt.
Might as well try looking for replacement board (or even a refurbished note4).
Thanks though for the suggestion @w41ru5!
Greetings again folks reading your replies above I have been trying almost every fix there is out there
First of all about Emergency Calls Only/Not Registered on Network
It can be due to several causes its can be Hardware ie faulty modem
it can be bad network coverage
it can be bad simcard
it can be SW with EFS problems or maybe even on rare occasion a modem file that you flashed
EFS can be either bad IMEI with CERT : FAIL or Just Network with IMEI and SN intact
just dial *#0011*# and see if you have CERT : PASS ( also someone with good IMEI/CERT and working network can share screenshot so i can compare whats wrong)
I am certain mine is EFS related because it happened after flashing modem DPCB modem via ODIN (I had TWRP EFS backup but the blunder I made was backing it up on phone storage and being careless forgot it was there and was wiped for custom ROM flashing process)
So far what I have tried
Combination File Method (and even downgrade to KK 4.4.4 )
Repair Firmware that include AP,BL,CP,CSC and even PIT
Kies 3 or Older Smart Switch says (Device doesn't support initialization ) since initialization feature was removed by Samsung on newer Smartswitch(since it was being used for wrong reasons? read somewhere)
Several different firmware's
OTA update
My IMEI CERT says PASS if only we had a network patch like Ariza Patch (for Galaxy S3) for Note 4 then we would be in luck so far at this point I dont think flashing ROM's would even help with bad EFS our only luck is Box e.g Z3x or Octo dont know if we are allowed to talk about those here (ill edit post if not)
these box applications have Network Patch for most Samsung models but I don't see one for N910C in most versions
for those with bad IMEI they can try writing good cert or efs on note 4 since they have already lost it I am sitting on it because my EFS is good on that part and for some reason box app isnt allowing me to back up my CERT if I am able to back up current cert then ill give those a try but I would prefer current IMEI since in my country IMEI should be verified to use the phone or you have to pay tax
I know its Bad EFS for sure because using Box application I chose reset EFS(after backing up current faulty EFS with good IMEI) upon reboot phone's imei was changed with no SN network came back for few seconds then gone again ,this happened to many users that have tried resetting EFS so I restored my original EFS
if anyone here with N910C and root can give me EFS folder I can corelate if any file required for network is missing since i have good IMEI
Cheers!

Can you tell us more?
How did it start?
Did something happen to it, or did you just notice it is not connecting?
The most easy things first, is your sim card correctly in place?
Which ROM are you on and have you reflashed it?

The phone started with problems since I upgraded to Android Pie, I have taken care of it very well but I do not know if it is a hardware failure, but note that in baseband turns out to be unknown, I installed several stock roms from fastboot without any success, also I thought it would be a problem of the EFS partition, but everything is fine I even took a backup in case the doubts, what could happen?

Did you originally update via OTA, meaning, was it the official update?
Then when you noticed it's not working, you tried to flash several stock ROMs?
One possible problem that comes to mind, is that for some reason, you have the wrong radio/modem firmware. That can happen for example, if you have flashed a ROM, which is not meant for your region.

Yes, upgrade to Android pie via OTA
I already put a stock rom of the same region, following each fastboot command one by one, but everything continues the same, I even installed RROS 7, to see if at least it turned on the wifi, and it is in bootloop.

Go with the modding guide index: how to restore stock ROM etc., and flash a stock ROM that you know will work. Flash the radio/modem file too, and make sure it's the correct one.
Just to say, I had connection problems too, and in the end they were because the sim card did not latch correctly in place i.e. was not correctly in place.

I already tried, I installed the rom corresponding to the model of the cell phone and the wifi still does not work, the base band is still unknown, I also checked if the sim card was correctly placed, and everything is fine

I have an idea, but I need someone to help with a backup of the files, Radio, Modem, and Persist to flash in twrp

Great that you have an idea. ?
Here's an idea: take a backup of your current config in twrp, move it to the computer, take a copy. Replace the files in that copy with the ones that you want to flash.
Did you mean this? You are aware that you can try different radio/modem files through fastboot, not having to flash everything else every time? That said, go with your idea. ?

Ok, but WiFi should work even if there is no mobile data available.
I probably can't help at this point, apologies! My suggestion is to flash a stock ROM, lock the bootloader and send the phone for repairs. There could be a solution to this, but I'm out of ideas. ?*

from what I see, if there is no baseband it does not detect the sim card and it does not turn on the wifi, I will try to force an OTA retail update
it did not work

Hello, colud you solve the problem? Because I am havig a very similar one...
Hello group friends, I'm new here. I have a similar problem, I was using the Havoc 2.4 rom, when upgrading to 2.6 I no longer recognize my SIM card and the wi-fi does not connect, I can not install another rom anymore, nor rom stock, recovery TRWP has been replaced by the Havoc and the Wipe System function does not work, and for a few days you can not stay in recovery mode anymore, it restarts every 3 seconds, not the time to click the options. Can someone help me. I'm without a cell phone, and I need it.
I have a similar issue after flashing the latest firmware. SIM goes to "SIM locked" every ten seconds or so, and Wifi drops at the same tie. It's like networking is being reset every 10 seconds. No network settings I've tried change that.
I've flashed several stock ROMs; the one I had previously, newest, oldest, both for RETEU and retail. I used Lenovo restore to upgrade but that resulted in soft brick, after that I flashed the latest firmware via Fastboot and that's when the problem started.
With Oreo, wifi and cellular don't work at all, nothing detected. With Pie they're connected and dropped in a loop. I can't help thinking that the Lenovo restore broke this somehow, but modem files have been reflashed several times after that with no change. I'm not getting the baseband error.

I have the exact same problem, I wasn't able to repair it so I sent it to service and tomorrow they will try to fix it for $35. The problem with goign back to previous versions is that you loose the IMEI and MAC . The problem with the pie version I believe is the baseband. If the service is able to fix it I will post the solution here for you to fix it .

Service couldn't fix it. Being honest they were quite incompetent, when I explained the problem he said "we should hire you" ( I am 16 years old) . Anyway, could you fix it? Because I am not even close

Sorry I answer so late, I didn's see the message before.
I believe you already tried puting it into bootloader mode. If that's the case, I had a similar problem recently an it solved alone, I let it loop for a while and suddenly fell, into dtock recovey, i factory reset (with stock recovery) and somehow stock was booted ( i believe it was because it was in inactive slot).
Hope this helps you

I am still working on this, I actually did this to a work phone (I had permission to root/unroot). Something that has helped me so far is just getting familiar with the whole flashing process - https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...actory-images-android-using-fastboot-0175277/. I think from this article the problem lies in the modem/radio rom. That *should* be the only thing you need to flash on. However, I have noticed with a lot of roms on here, a modem rom is not included on the stock firmware. But that needs to match well to your phone from what I understand. I have tried a few modem roms already, unfortunately, but no luck.
