Note 4 N910C bootloop - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello famous XDAians.
Need help guys.
So. I have a note 4 N910c which I got as a birthday present some time back.
One nice day i got an update ota but it started bootlooping as it turned on. I tried various other stock firmwares following this. But it just went as far as app optimization and reboot in most cases.
Since I had a device, I didn't really think much of it and kept it for a while and even forgot about it. But yesterday night came across it. Am thinking of giving it as a present to my younger brother.
First tried a late stock ROM from Sammy. Didn't boot. Then I rooted it and have currently installed twrp from Odin. Flashed nougate n7 port but didn't boot. All seems to flash well. So downloaded eRobot ROM also flashed. Still not walking past the Samsung logo.
I also read tonight that the pit file config for n910c is different than others. Is this true.? Is there a way to bring this device back to life. ? Any suggestions welcome.

I had a problem with the PIT on one of my Samsung Tablets and I'm pretty certain it mentions that it's a problem in the ODIN log so worth checking that if it continues to give problems.

Yo mate. Got the pit file. Thanks. Ur on MM? I was thinking that is the only think I haven't tried yet. So yes. Btw.. what is ur firmware version? Which country?

Yes, on MM. I have the XEO (Poland) N910CXXU2DQK1.

[Help] JasmineRom 5.0.2 soft bricked Verizon Note 3

Thanks in advance for the help, hopefully we can figure this out.
Currently my Verizon Note 3 is stuck in a boot loop and I can't get out of it. I have tried all the methods that I have found on here including wiping data/ factory reset and trying to go back to a stock firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483380). Anyways, I got myself into this problem, I wasn't thinking straight... Basically I flashed my N3 from 4.3 using safestrap to JasmineRom 5.0. After that I updated to JasmineRom 5.0.2 doing a dirty flash over the 5.0 with FlashFire (http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433). I was surprised how easy it was actually, I have been on a rooted stock firmware since day 1. After everything was running fine, I had the brilliant idea of using FlashFire to install the Lollipop Xposed Framework (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811). This is where the boot loop happened and is happening. Everything I try doesn't seem to work... I was looking into trying to convert a zip to a tar so I can use Odin to re-flash on JasmineRom, but I have had no luck, I get a "Unsupport Dev_Type" error in my Recovery. I am not sure what to do or try, any help would be appreciated.
note: I read the known issue with Lollipop's Xposed Framework install and thought that I was on a custom Samsung Rom and shouldn't have problem?
Also, I can't role back to a previous firmware through Odin because I am upgraded to 5.0 and can't re-install JasmineRom because I am stuck in the boot loop (at least I think so).
I hope someone can help. I stupidly did the samething last night to mine. after it was running so well. I jsut wanted to theme out the damn ugly green in notifications
Well looks like I have phone running again but I had to run stock so no more root for me. Very upset. I want to buy either another used note 3 that still can run this rom or maybe find a note4 reasonably priced. NOT a POS clone.
but runing odin with the 5.0 android file it restored but would not allow 4.4.2 or
4.4.4

I did the same and updated to 5.0 with Verizon through Odin. It fixed it but just lost my root privilege as well... Atm I am glad to have a working phone. I found an error that told me my current software level when I was stuck (5.0.2) and the reason for the error (attempting to downgrad). Looks like Samsung is blocking downgrades.. That is why it wouldn't restore any lower .. Just gotta hope that a 5.0 root comes out.
You should use the dedication Verizon Note forum .
Glad you have your working again as well. I believe verizon is doing this not samsung. VZW does not want us in control of what we put on our phones or more yet what we can do with them without paying extra fees.

Still got no available update for I9500 (lollipop)

Hi everyone ! I have my s4 for like 4-5 months and i still didn't get the lollipop update, i'm frustrated because i have a lot of friends who have got it and mine says "The latest updates have already been installed" . I just flashed stock 4.4.2 firmware so the device is CLEAN. Any ideas ? Should i try to flash 5.0 directly ? Are there any risks?
Samsung rolls its updates out based on region, carrier and production date, it's normally a few months before everyone gets the update. The update's been ready for quite a long time, but even mine only got it last month. Sit tight!
As to flashing, well the risk is bricking your phone.
I know that, and the fact is all my friends are on the same carrier and they got the update months ago. I strongly thinks it's my phone the problem.
No one wishing to help ? I'm sure it's something wrong with my phone, but i can't say what, i am just a noob. Last time i flashed some 5.0 CM firmware, then when i flashed 4.4.2 stock, i had lost my IMEI or something like that, i had to search internet 4 days to 'repair' it. It may have something to do with it. PLEASE help me ! If you won't help i will flash it manually w/e.
You can flash via ODIN, there is no risk and its virtually impossible to brink the S4 if you read well and perform everything according to instructions.
My i9505 was originally from Austrailia - Vodafone, and AFAIK it still has 4.4.2. Thankfully, my phone wasn't carrier locked so i was able to safely flash 5.0.1 of another region and its working perfectly for a long time now.
Flash there's no risk

I had your same problem. All my friends got it in December but I Didn't get it. So I flashed the stock Russian Rom which was the 1st one to come out via Odin. So there was no issue only google now didn't work as it is banned in Russia. Finally after a few months samsung released it for my country and I flashed my country update over Odin and google now also returned. Flashing via Odin is the best way to receive the update for impatient ones like us (oh and don't worry once you flash your country Rom back you will also get OTA updates as normal) l

N910C update to 5.1.1 failed

Good morning, my friends!
I have a little problem while I tried to update my note 4 910c turkey version via Odin.
I flashed the original 5.1.1 rom. Everything looked ok, but when the phone rebooted nothing happened. That's not at my first smartphone with android so I really have a pretty ideea how to flash something via Odin.
Also I tried a few weeks ago to flash another original ROM and the same thing happened.
Can you give me some ideas about that?
Thanks a lot for your attention!
Cheers!

Did you follow the instruction givin in the sammobile website?
Did you unzip the file?
check AP then add on it
if so maybe you should re download the rom.
i did the update over the 5.0.1 no issues .... then i decided to wipe and flash clean and that was super good
what do you mean by nothing happened? it still 5.0.1 firmware ??

N900 Not Rebooting System After Flash

Hi all,
I've recently been gifted the note 3 n900 and rooted it. I also installed TWRP and CWM as well, and when i go to install a ROM, it does say successfully and then at reboot, it shows the samsung galaxy note 3 screen, after that it goes blank. I've to do a battery pull to get it back and then restore a backup. I've tried many ROMs and also did rooting again, still nothing.
I've been using the galaxy s4 i9500 for about 2 years now and that is rooted and i've been flashing roms on it all year long with no problem. I'm just not sure what's going with this.
I'm currently on 4.4.2 official stock as I can't do much. Lollipop has not yet come to my region i think.
Any help would be widely appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Same Issue here but I am even not getting a samsung logo or a custom rom logo.

Hi
I had this problem for a couple of days, I found out that I flashed a incompatible rom via Odin. Can you can go into fast boot mode and tell me what it says at the top? Mine said " Couldn't do normal boot " which means the rom I flashed was not supported for my device. I went to the Samsung website to download a rom that was compatible with my device, I flashed it via Odin and it worked.
Thanks
I Just got my error fixed. U need to flash your bootloader via odin

I found that flashing the Stock Lollipop Rom worked, just as mentioned above by the above post. Yes, just by updating the bootloader i think it works. I've done it by getting the Russian stock rom from sammobile (even though i'm not in Russia), works like a charm. Really love the new feel to the note 3 n900. Just need to find a way to get permissive kernel now and ites perfect.

DarkWolf or DarkLord -- Would either work on Galaxy Note 3 (verizon firmware)

Hi. I was wondering if anyone could help me better understand this.
I would like to have either DarkWolf or DarkLord on my Verizon Note 3. For a few months or so I've been running JasmineRom so I understand how to do it for the most part, but I seem to keep messing up.
When I tried to flash DarkWolf through TWRP, it didn't work. I had to end up doing everything all over again. Using Odin to flash the firmware, rooting it with the root tool, etc.
A few questions I have are: How do Kernels work and how do I go about using them? I know Dark Lord, from where I downloaded it, came with a Kernel. Except when I tried to flash to Dark Lord from JasmineRom last night... it ruined the device and I ended up having to reflash the firmware with Odin, etc..
I settled back on JasmineRom last night just so I had a rooted phone while I went to work, but I'd still really like to have either DarkWolf or DarkLord (not sure which is better, but at this point maybe I should say which one will work.)
Currently I'm flashing the verizon firmware OF1 on my phone and then I will root the device so I'll be ready to go.
Also, can someone direct me to a thread or youtube link that explains how to get twrp back on a device? I was pretty sure I got it through flashify, but when I tried that earlier it kept coming up with errors. I'd really like to get twrp back as when I used it to flash DarkWolf last night, when it messed my up phone, everything was wiped clean.
Also -- when dealing with my phone either during or after rom changes and so forth, is my phone still considered a verizon phone even though I have a tmobile sim card? I'd just like to know if there is a difference or not. I'm thinking no because the firmware is still VErizon, but I'd still like to know from someone here.
Hopefully someone can help. Thanks.
None of them work on N900v. but @Sczar made AryaMod to work with his latest version. and honestly its Amazing. you should give it a try.
