Factory reset rooted now stuck in boot loop please help

Please help me. I tried a factory reset from the settings and now im stuck in boot loop, i see samsung logo then samsung animation over and over.
i used this method to root : http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-note-video-30421/
My device is a UB version so there is no stock firmware available, from all that ive gathered so far.
I just went thru the root method again hoping it would unbrick it from the boot loop but it didnt.
How can i get out, anyway possible. Maybe install a rom or something????????
I can get into download mode and cwm if that matters.
ANY other info needed ill be right here to answer

i guess ill try and flash the sheep rom
Ok i guess i cant use that rom since its kka kja ????????????????????
this is frustrating me more than any phone ive ever played with

Really? So then you assumed a portuguese-speaking country made it? Ffs...

I didn't assume anything. They are imported. From where i have no idea imported only going off what i have gathered so far

You live in America, so gather this information: Portugal also colonized America, and the result fo that is Brazil. No, we do not speak spanish.

why are you even here in this thread if thats all you want to do is talk **** that i dont care about.
Are you able to help or are you just looking for an arguement?????
I just dont care about all that

I can only assume that you are stuck in a boot loop not because of root but because you removed or froze some system apps and didn't undo it before you did a factory reset.
At this point just flash one of the other stock ROMS using Odin and it should bring you back up.
If you are looking for your specific stock firmware you will need to know your product code (usually it is on the box and will show up something like GT-N7000XNBFSS) You will also need to know the EXACT version of your PDA, CSC and MODEM and then you will be able to grab that specific stock rom using CheckFus

I didnt freeze any apps at all. i was still in playing mode. my phone looked ugly from all the messing around i did.
I just wanted to reset back to default for everything and start over
Im not real sure how to flash a rom with odin but im about to figure it out. Not to mention i am looking for stock roms i can seem to find
Thanks for letting me know though, that i can be back in bussness

What would be the latest stock rom that i can flash with odin and where do i download it? Im going in circles here. Is it the hong kong rom?
See, ive read wrong pit files are bad and that hong kong has a pit file. do i flash without the pit?

Here's what I did:
1) Installed CWM recovery with odin. This is relatively straightforward.
2) get the hong kong rom, put the zip file directly on your sdcard.
3) use cwm's 'install from zip' to install the rom.
It's pretty straightforward, and I didn't have to mess with pit files.
The hong kong rom might not be the latest, nor is it stock, but I'm recommending it because it's a working rom that I installed fairly easily.

CWM was already working because i guess it was installed when i rooted with that not so popular method. installed the hong kong rom. i was hoping to get a stock rom cause i was playing with stuff and checkin it all out, but thats ok, this is probably what i would have ended up with, a nice clean system without all the garbage.
privacy/ factory reset is WORKING now !!! and the yellow triangle is gone now
Thanks!!!

Ok lastly, i lost CWM with this rom though its rooted. I like that. How do i get CWM back. I need to flash that updated market thing with it to update gmail app
I need to install this, but it doesnt say how to in there
ROOT + CWM kernel and official kernel Download: http://min.us/lbr3L9wf7aHUuC

OK I've finally got it back but I'm not in love with these custom roms. I tried the Hong Kong ROM but it was cleaned of a lot of apps and a few problems. I'm now on one of the other roms but it seems to be chewing thru battery and a couple of apps that showed and installed from the market on my stock ROM do not show in market and say incompatible from the market web site. I wish I could just get back to factory. Maybe ill sell it and order another one and not root until its an easy root method like the infuse was

Thanks, but...
Used that method last time, but as I said after updating the phone I cannot get this to work any more :crying:
And, as a new member Im not allowed to post to that thread...
I have Avast installed, and for the firewall to operate it needs root. (one of the reasons to root).
Always worked flawless, and after the FW-update it still does... No sure why...

[Q] I9505 Rooted & Unlocked - Boot Loop

Hey,
I just got my galaxy. Rooted it yesterday to delete bloatware.
I tried being really careful with what I delete but I must have delete something essential, my phone won't go past the samsung logo.
I'm actually really freaked out. I rooted using Odin but didn't quite get to anything else.
I tried battery pull, didn't work. Same as for wiping data in recovery mode. Don't know if it means something but when I tried wiping cache, it gave me a little dead android pic and restarted.
Right now I'm waiting for a stock firmware to download (BTW, I9505 isn't officially sold in my country, so I downloaded a UK version. I hope that's alright).
After it downloads I'll try to flash it using a guide from XDA.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
I could really use your help...
Thank you!
Edit:
Flashed it. Turns out I downloaded a German version (What my phone originally came with).
I just want to ask - Is there anything wrong or worse with being with this firmware? What are the differences between UK and German firmwares for an unlocked device?
Thank you

Okay thank you very much!
Is there anything different I should do next time? (Besides let the bloatware live)
I read about rooting with recovery (CWM?). Can someone please explain a bit about it (How to do it and why isn't it the regular root)?
Btw, I saw that there are a few other rooting tools besides Odin. How are they different?
And what's BusyBox? I'm really sorry about all the noob questions. Every guide I find keeps referring to other terms that I don't understand
Thank you!

[Q] [HELP] Galaxy S4 SM-S975L Tracfone stuck on recovery boot

I rooted my phone with towelroot. I wanted to install cyanogen so I went to the site. I couldn't find my device driver so I tried the US Cellular. (btw I have cwm recovery 6.0.4.7). I went into recovery mode and press backup and restore. I saw an error message but i ignored it. So then I wiped data and factory reset. I tried to install Cyanogen through install zip. I installed it but when I went to reboot phone it rebooted back to recovery. It does that every time.

Someone? Please?

Your stock ROM is here. If you want to install a custom ROM afterward, you need to make sure the custom ROM will actually work on the Straight Talk Galaxy S4. Keep in mind that there are some thirty different variants of the Galaxy S4. The ROMs in this forum are geared towards the I9500 series international phones as well as the I9505G Google Edition phone. These ROMs may not be built with the Straight Talk S4 in mind, as it's a minor variant compared to the I9505.

Thanks! I started download like 5 minutes ago and it's 0.1/1.3 GB downloaded. Can you send me it through mediafire or something?. Also can you send me a link to a Cyanogen Mod for Straight Talk S4

Unfortunately, you're just going to have to deal with the download speeds. For me to post the MD5 file on MediaFire, I would need to download the ROM I provided you the link to, split that file into multiple downloads of 50MB each, and host it on MediaFire. Since I do not have a Straight Talk S4 but an I9505 with a Straight Talk SIM, I think you'll understand why I'm not going to waste the time and bandwidth.
Regarding the link for a Straight Talk S4-compatible version of CyanogenMod, check the CyanogenMod website and see if someone there has made one. If they haven't, you'll have to build one yourself because no one is going to do it for you. Again, I don't have the phone, but even if I did I have no desire to run CyanogenMod on it.

Alright thank you I downloaded the ROM, installing it right now with Odin. Taking forever with system.img.ext4 but it looks like it's almost done. I'm pretty sure I have no idea how to build my own CyanogenMod for my phone. Any ROMs you consider are good and compatible with my phone?

I don't run a custom ROM, but a stock, debloated one. I would simply root the phone, debloat it using the excellent guides and tools on XDA, then install a launcher from the Play Store*. From there, make sure S-Voice is disabled in the Touchwiz launcher so you can use Google keywords ("OK Google") and enjoy your phone.
*I use the Google Now Launcher because of its "swipe to the right" access to the Google Now cards, but there are other very good alternatives to the GNL. Nova Launcher and Apex come to mind.

You said you installed a rom, does it work? Can u link me to the website you found it at? Also, the recovery you used?
I have the same phone, sm-s975l and im definitely not as experienced with flashing and blah blab. So I was looking for some help I guess

[Q] Need help switch from lollipop to KitKat on my NOTE-3 SM-N900.

Hello XDA,
I have tried numerous ROMs/apps in last few weeks of time and very very thankful to great developers of XDA.. (THANK YOU very much).
But I am unable to control my battery drain issues (I thought my battery is old and bought a new one) but still having same issues.
1. Battery charges normally from 2% to 100% in maximum 90 minutes
2. Battery drains from 100 to 0 in 90 minutes while playing games like Hungry Shark Evolution with sound, same happens with some multiplayer games like Ninja Dash and/or subway surfers etc.. (my kid wont stop playing same on my cell)
3. Battery drains from 100 to 0 in maximum 8 to 10 hours with wifi ON.. Whatsapp and Facebook running in background, using phone hardly for 10 minutes in voice calls (incoming/outgoing)
It seems I am unable to control some advanced features in custom ROMs.
I am travelling out next week, and hence want to switch back to KitKat (latest whatever supports my mobile)
Please help me, understand which file to download (how to flash right way), how to root my mobile.
Just explain in simple instructions, learned a lot trying different roms here.. if anywhere I am stuck. I will reply back.
This is my current stuff posting screenshots.

My experience
I have flashed back to kitkat from lollipop more than 4 times by just flashing via Odin without any problems. I haven't rooted my device yet. But I tried the same steps (lolly to kk) for S4 GT-I9500, with the result of "null imei" issue. I think there is no issues with note 3 N900. I don't know how it will become after rooting. If you are on stock Lolly without root, you can simply flash KK firmware via odin.

Thanks vishnu ji.
Where do I download stock firmware from.
Sammobile or officially from Samsung. Com (never tried downloading from there)
I m just confused which version to download.

This is the correct firmware for you then if you wanna come back to Kitkat: HERE. Remember backup your EFS and your IMEI before with this app for example: HERE.

Yeah. Remember flash it normally via ODIN like in the pic attached. Maybe appears some errors but we will solve them :highfive:

This will not detect the .zip file in download mode ??
Not sure what to do ahead.. Mobile i detected in download mode properly.
Edit:
I have installed KitKat properly.. but just need to root device to be able to restore backup of all my records from titanium back pro..

It seems I am done with everything as of now..
Android version 4.4.2 and rooted as well.

still having a problem? if so, which one?

Thanks guys,
Fixed everything now.. Using greenify pro now and battery works like charm.
Planning to buy another right app, to remove unnecessary appz from this mobile. (any suggestions ? i am planning to remove system apps like hangouts, watchon, etc. which I never use but always takes up stuff) though everything is now greenified.
Regards.
