Note 4 UK - Tmobile/EE variant Boot Loop - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I have been at it with this phone for the last 3 days.
Boot looping. I have tried reflashing with what I believe is the stock rom from sammobile.
Is there a way to check the exact rom i need? No matter what rom I have flashed i cannot get it to turn on fully. Even after a successful flash it reboots in recovery mode and then the android alien comes on and eventually freezes and I have to battery pull.
I have tried factory wiping after flash, cache.
Even tried the Pit method.
Dead end now. Maybe its just that I dnt have the right rom i dont know. I got the latest 6.01 from sam mobile uk EVR rom.
Any help would be great. :crying:

Note 3 Boot Loop

So I have an Canadian Note 3, SM-N9008W8 phone.
I had it rooted without issue. I then installed TWRP.
Once I install X-Note, I started to have issues. At first it worked, booted into it fine. Then WiFi & Mobile didn't work, so I found a fix, installed the WiFi fix, rebooted, then the mobile fix, rebooted. Though mobile still didn't work, so I tried factory reset, and a re-install of them all to fix it, but now it just keeps rebooting. Either it gets to the booting screen and keeps rebooting, or sometimes it boots into the OS, but after a bit it reboots.
The original zip file for the OS is not on the phone anymore, so I can't even try a re-install of it, and I have done a factory/data reset a few times, same issue, its stuck.
So now I don't know what to do.

pull the battery out for a 1 minute see if that works, if not have you got the latest TWRP xnote does say only tested with the latest one ,you can download stock from here www.sammobile.com but you will loes root
Yea, that website has nothing for Note 3s...?
Yes latest TWRP, and battery pull did nothing. The phone is completely screwed
Where else would I find stock ODIN files for Canadian note 3?
samsung-updates.com - and a bit of googling if not there, there will be some somewhere.
Found one but no luck.
Somehow after using Odin and putting stock on there, its still boot looping. I have tried it 12 times, differnet ways, no luck. It makes no sense.
Maybe its Windows 8.1? I just tried on Windows 7, but now Odin shows FAIL when I did it.
I was on X-note and I have Same problem since yesterday I did factory reset and install different rom but doesn't work I install original rom by odin but still rebooting and no signal and wifi doesn't work so what's the problem is it software or hardware ..?
Help us guys

Hiya guys need some help
I have a galaxy s4 gt-i9505 that I had running the Google play edition ROM
Then my wife ordered a galaxy gear for my birthday (early January)
I tried to put the latest carrier ROM on through Odin and it flashed OK but kept coming up with procces.android.acore has stopped
I did some googleing and then re-flashed the ROM but clicked the wipe button and it flashed OK
But when it restarted it got stuck in a bootloop and wouldn't get past the Samsung logo
I then flashed twrp recovery and managed to get 4.4 ROM on there (but it seems really laggy and drops calls everytime)
I have tried to recover my backup but twrp can't see it and the cwm recovery won't flash on
So how do I either get stock back on my phone or a ROM that will accept the gear and isn't laggy or buggy
Thanks in advance for the help guys

Download the triangle away app. (search google or xda)
Download the latest Samsung ROM from Sammobile.com
Enter in recovery mode and WIPE all data,
Flash the ROM via ODIN.
When its done, enter in recover again and make another wipe.
If u get a successful boot, and if u have a new bootloader(knox) u wont be able to use WIFI, u'll need to use Triangle away to wipe the binary counter. SO then u will need to REFLASH the ROM.
After all of this, u should get the phone working fine.
Sorry for the text. ;o
IF U DONT HAVE THE NEW BOOTLOADER (KNOX), JUST WIPE THE SYSTEM BEFORE AND AFTER FLASHING.
Good luck, bro.

Correct ROM for ur UK branded to Vodafone is this ONE
ok so i admit i'm an idiot,
what i forgot was that i needed to use adb to get into cwm recovery
when i realised that i could recover back to my stable version
so in order to use the gear (when it arrives) do i need to go back to stock or can i use the google play edition rom i like ???

Mate, try this steps:
1. Flash stock recovery
2. Flash stock rom from sammobile
3. wipe
The gear only works with stock rom 4.3
ok so i tried everything nothing worked and i got stuck in a constant bootloop
then i tried flashing it with odin 3.09 .......all was going well till it failed and left me with nothing on the phone at all
i re-tried with through 3.07 and this time it worked
i now have stock on my phone thankfully
thanks for all the help guys

[Q] sm-g870a

Howdy, att s5 active was acting up so i downloaded the stock ne4 firmware from sammobile and flashed it via odin. Now the phone is stuck at the s5 splash screen and refuses to boot. I have tried booting into recovery and wiping cache and performing a factory reset to no avail. I have also tried using the firmware upgrade feature in kies but this did not work either. I am at a loss if anyone could point me in the right direction to help me get this thing working again i would be very appreciative.
The phone is completely stock , never rooted or messed with recovery or anything like that.

For anyone experiencing issues similar to what I was i believe i have found a solution : eventually i was able to get 4.4.2 to boot fully up - but then began to experience random resets. What I did was go into developer options and switch from dalvik to art. After all of the apps were done optimizing the s5 active now works perfectly, without issue. Hopefully this information helps someone else get theirs working properly.
hello
What firmware you flas first time? ???4.4.2???

S6 Edge+ G928F dead? NEED HELP!

[My phone is already repaired by Samsung under warranty, my internal storage was broken so they replaced the motherboard. There is no need to reply to this thread anymore. Thanks anyway]
Hello everyone, I need help!!!!
Today my Samsung GS6 Edge+ died. (At least, that's what I think)
I own my G928F for 1,5 years now. I rooted it two weeks after that. Several weeks ago I flashed a new ROM called N-Lite Nougat v4.1 which has worked smoothly and without any problems since I've flashed it.
However, today, the 26th of June, my phone turned off all of a sudden while scrolling through Facebook. I haven't flashed, installed nor done, anything that would affect my phone in such a way that it would crash this way. I tried force rebooting with the 3 buttons pressed (Home, Vol+, On/Off) several times. My phone just boots into the ROM and then freezes instantly. Again tried force rebooting for like 5 times, NO luck. Then I tried booting into recovery mode (TWRP 3.1.0.0), cleared Dalvik and cache, factory reset, rebooted, still no luck. Tried several other custom ROM's, still NO luck. Also tried flashing stock Samsung Firmware using ODIN, no luck whatsoever.
I couldn't find any similar problems in the ROM thread, nor anywhere else on the internet. Besides that, I'm starting to think this problem is a defect to the hardware, not the software.
Does anyone know what would be the best thing to do in my situation? Or perhaps anyone who might know what the problem might be and have a possible solution?
Thanks in Advance.
Recovery mode (TWRP 3.1.0.0) is accessible though, but that's all. While trying to install another ROM it just reboots randomly, during flashing progress.
When you say you tried flashing stock rom with ODIN, does it fail or does it succeed but freezes up when you are back in android OS?

It succeeds. But when it's done it just keeps going in a bootloop. It doesn't even boot into Android now. I've used the right settings in Odin. Even tried several different versions of Odin. No success

Out of curiosity, when you flashed the stock Rom was it 6.0.1 or 7.0?
Does it just get stuck on the S6 EDGE + screen for a while? If so you might be to impatient as first boot on almost all roms both custom or stock take a while to boot up. If it shows the Samsung splash screen over and over then yes it's bootlooping.
I can't think of any other reason for it bootlooping, especially if you have flashed a stock Rom, unless maybe you flashed 7.0 rom and still have a 6.0.1 bootloader. But I think that just causes loss of baseband, not a bootloop.
I would suggest another kernel, but that is normally included in the stock rom.
Do you download them from sammobile or another site? If it's another site, is it a reliable site?

It was Android 7.0. I downloaded it from Sammobile. I've waited 40 minutes for it to boot up after successful Odin flash. But it just kept doing the same thing. The bootloader that was installed was a 7.0 bootloader. First i get the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + screen then the Samsung boot animation and it repeats for hours untill battery runs out haha

The last thing I can think of was did you get the right rom for your phone? 928F or 928T etc.
Other than that it might be a trip to the repair centre I'm afraid.

Try to do a factory reset in the stock recovery. It might help.
