Boot Loop - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I was running a 4.2.2 ROM...well, I was switching between two of them.
My phone started doing some massive reboots today, so I decided to reflash.
Now, if my phone is NOT plugged to charge, it boot loops. Gets up to the boot animation, then starts all over again.
If I plug the USB cable in and boot the phone, it boots all the way and the phone is fine.
HOWEVER, as soon as I unplug the cable, phone reboots again. Battery charge is full.
Running TWRP 2.4.4.0, and was flipping between JamieD's 4.2.2 and ManelScout's Vanilla, along with Ace's latest kernal and the UCMB4 modem.
Trying to determine if this might be a hardware problem. The OS is showing as battery full charge, but recovery shows battery % @ like 2%.

sounds like you may have a stuck power button

I read that in someone else's post. Physically, it seem like the power button is fine.
How do I "unstuck" the power button in this case?
I've already ODIN'd to stock GB, and downloading the ICS update. Pains me to be unrooted and on a stock ROM.
I need my phone operational ASAP, so I am struggling right now to get this thing functioning normally?
Do I need to take it apart? Is the power button "stuck" in the sense of software? Or literally physically?

BTW, the power button is responsive in terms of turning the unit on/off. Does that still mean it is stuck?
And what about the fact that the unit will boot up fully with the power plugged in, but boot loop if on battery only?

Try another battery. Yours may be going bad.

[Q] Complete Bizarre problem, Cannot figure this out!

So I am now on hboot 1.40 s-off cdma Evo 3d... 2 weeks old, never dropped.
I have cwm touch recovery on my phone. Haven't had a problem with my phone since downgrading the hboot to 1.40.
Was running d3rp's rom and it was pretty amazing... decided to do the usual wipe(s) and flash Newt's RC2 of the Htc One S rom....
My battery wasn't charging and my 3D was bleeding battery life like a vag having it's time of the month, so I decided to wipe everything and flash a different rom. I booted into cwm, like usual, did the wipes and went to flash d3rps rom, kept saying error 1 and now damn thing won't power on and since everything was wiped It is ROM-less.
It's so weird, I can plug it & get a red light for about 2 seconds then it disappears. Never comes back on...nothing gets it to come on.
I have tried adb reboot bootloader, and the whole take the battery out, hold power for 10 seconds put the battery back in mess, but my computer and no computer recognizes the phone, so adb is out of the question.
-- I cannot boot into anything, it won't power on-- EXCEPT I CAN get the HTC screen (the bright one that blinds the sh*t of out of you!) but that's it. And it takes all kinds of work just to get to that screen.
Any suggestions? I'll try em all because there is no way the battery on this is dead if so I'd not get the HTC screen.
You cannot ruu it back to stock either because it has to be in fastboot mode in order to do that, I can't get into recovery so that's a fail as well.
Is there any way to use Odin or Heimdall to fix this; or anything else????
Odin and heimdall are for Samsung. You can try taking the battery out and holding power htton without the battery for a couple minutes. Then replace battery. Hold power both volumes and the camera button.

Your problem comes from cwm touch, it does not support off mode charging.
Are the adb drivers installed correctly? Have you ever had adb working before?
If you can, try holding volume down and power while plugged in, choose fastboot USB.
Let it charge, boot into Rom, download 4ext touch recovery which does not have any bugs, phone will charge while off.
Google + pertinent info = results
Yep all my drivers are installed correctly, it won't do anything whatsoever except give me the htc boot screen and that's it. Nothing more and to get it to do that requires all sort's of maneuvers such as the battery being pulled holding down the button, ya know the usual stuff.
I am certainly not new to this whatsoever and I am very familiar with adb nothing seems to recognize my phone and I never had a problem of charging my phone in any time since i've had cwm touch on my phone.
Any other suggestions.......Annnnything at all I'll give it a shot.
Can you get into the bootloader by doing the following?
- Pull out the battery
- Put the battery back in
- Hold the volume down button
- Hold down the power button while still continuing to hold down the volume down button
From there you should go str8 to the bootloader screen rather than the splash screen.
If you get to the bootloader screen, are you able to get into the recovery from the bootloader menu?
If not, if you have access to another battery (like from a buddy's phone or somethin'), I would prolly see if that makes any difference in terms of being able to charge for more than 2 seconds, etc. Perhaps maybe even try a different charging cable as well. That way you can completely rule out faulty battery and/or charging cable.

Well can you charge your battery in a different phone ?? Or via external charger?? Or if what I'm reading is true about cwm then I'd say pick up a spare battery or figure a way to charge your battery without it being in the phone. I mean it seems like your battery is just dead but your phone is ok. The few times you get a little power is from just letting the battey sit but its not enough to boot into anything. I'm just taking a shot here but that's what it seems like.

[Q] Dead SGP 5.0?

Hello everyone,
I have an SGP 5.0 that I've been using for sometime. Everyday I let it charge overnight and usually in the morning its warm but full. Today it was burning hot and the device keep on boot loading and failing. I've tried going into recovery mode but it fails completely, I just keep going into the boot looping. Download mode works but that's about it. The device was working yesterday with no problems with the rom/kernel listed in my signature.
If I disconnect the power cable and leave it disconnected it will NOT boot. Not even into download mode. Only when I plug in power and leave it for a minute will it try to boot.
I've tried writing the rom and kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863004) but it dies before it ever finishes (By die I mean the battery runs out). I've pushed only the kernel (Entropy's DailyDriver) and it does work but its still boot looping.
I've stopped the above and the device is getting hot. I presume if left without a kernel/rom that it will recharge and I can continue what I'm doing? (The download logo stays on for about a minute and disappears and appears a minute later repeatedly. )
Just so you know, when you flash CM10 (Paranoid, or just Cyan) that these flashes provide a new kernel, hence that you do not still use the daily driver from Gingerbread. You'll probably notice the different in CWM changes from five to version six.
With that said, it might be best if you tried adjusting your voltage, I've had the same issues with an over heated device with Gingerbread / CM10 modifications which a member of the community did offer some assistance ( Check Page 75 on Cyan Thread)
Wouldn't hurt starting from scratch, flashing the stock, and working your way back up. Only suggesting this because I'm unsure of other factors that could cause this.
I forgot about that since I went from PM 4 to PM 4.1. That's what my goal was by starting with galaxy_player_2.3.6.tar.md5 and working up but I got nothing since the device dies, from no power?, when I try to write a rom. I guess I have no choice but to charge the device and hope that after many boot loops, the battery have enough juice for one run? That being said I've just opened the device and figured out how to remove the battery.
Google isn't helping with batteries and a quick search of ebay shows that everyone is happy with their device. Is there any place you recommend to get a new or semi-new battery for the thing?
By Write your referring to flashing.
Have you been able to get into the download mode? What do you also mean by recovery fails?
Yes. Download mode works fine. As I've stated the device will stay on for just one minute before it dies, not enough time to flash on a new rom. If I pull the plug, regardless of if I'm flashing, it will die. By die I meant that the device shuts off. The screen is black and the backlighting on the buttons is off.
I've held the power + volume up button on boot and it kicks into download mode.
I've left the device plugged it and its generating a lot of heat, with battery inside.

Are you using the stock cable? This device is super picky about cables, I'm actually talking to a samsung product support agent right now asking for a new cable. Mine shows the initial battery/charging screen, then reboot, ad infinitum. Does this happen to you?

Mine also shows the charging screen then bootloops. If I powerdown my GP5 then plug in the cable, everything works fine. So for me it only performs reboots if I powerdown the device while it is plugged in.

I haven't had any issues with any cables used. I've switched to stock cable + stock charger yesterday and nothing there but a boot loop. I wish there was a place to buy a new battery just to check.

[Q] Problems with booting into Recovery/ODIN

Flashing going fine, but just have a bit of an annoying problem. To boot into ODIN or Recovery, I have to keep trying and trying before it sticks and finally gets into what I want.
Right now I'm trying to get into recovery. Phone is off, I hold VolUp and the Power button. The phone buzzes and starts to turn on. However, sometimes it just shuts right back down. Other times, the Samsung logo appears with "loading recovery" in the top left, I release the buttons only to have it shut down again. Very rarely, I can get into Recovery or ODIN.
Anyone know why this or how to solve this?
Thanks!

That sounds odd... especially since at that point the phone is not booted so it's down at the hardware level. Maybe defective?

not sure, but got a ROM loaded up so i can just reboot into recovery. problem solved!
I had this same problem...I couldn't really figure out what was wrong but I too just use the boot to recovery option in the 4-way reboot menu. It'd be kinda nice to figure out what was wrong, though.
just found another issue. after my battery dies, i need to let it charge for 10-15 minutes before i can power it on.
my previous phone seemed to have a tiny bit "of reserve" to let you boot up and at least be functional while you were charging.
is this just a HW limitation on the S4 or is something up?

Usually you can wait a few minutes and charge it. That's how it was on the S3. I haven't let me phone die completely yet because the battery life is so good it lasts all day o when I go to bed it charges on my bedside and doubles as my wake up alarm as well as my medication alarms.

[Q] Bootlooping. Opinions on issue?

Last night my phone started bootlooping very frequently. I was running the CM10 built with Samsung source that was posted in this section for a while with absolutely no problems, when suddenly the phone shut off and started doing short, quick vibrations repeatedly. Like the vibration that the phone makes when it first turns on and shows the Samsung logo. I pulled the battery but it continued once I put the battery back in. Eventually I got it to boot but soon after it booted it started again. I am now running Blackjelly v1, and though less frequent, the problem still persists...does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Mine did the same thing... It was crazy...Nothing I did fixed it... Flashed away at any 4.2.2 Rom and It was consistent bootloop... Decided to take phone apart and clean power button (read somewhere power button gets stuck) Same issue bootloop... I odined back to stock...bam it worked...now the capacitive buttons don't work... So after booting stock I flashed TWRP recovery and attempted to flash 4.2.2 rom to no prevail, I am only capable of flashing BlackJelly v1 any other rom sends me into (App is upgrading screen after boot after apps say Starting Apps bootloop) nonstop bootloop...
I honestly wonder if my phone is the only phone that will not accecpt 4.2.2 roms...

It's now bootlooping like crazy. It'll turn on for like 5 minutes and then go right back to bootlooping. My USB port is kinda screwy so it's hard to odin anything. I'm at a loss for what to do.

I had boot looping problems several times now. For me, it's always been sticky power button. One time, I forgot it had that problem at work and looped for 30 minutes. I just take out the battery for about an hour, then get the power button unstuck. My button gets stuck at the bottom of the button, so I can normally mess with the top part to fix it.
So the issue has escalated even further now. It is a sticky power button, i believe, but now when the phone tries to turn on it shows both samsung logos and then shuts right back off and refuses to turn on again unless i do a battery pull...I'm not even sure if it's turning off, actually. It turns on immediately after inserting a battery into the device. But right now I have a fancy brick.
Definitly a power button issue

Similar Issue
My phone started doing a crazy bootloop just out of the blue last night. I have never had a problem. I took the battery out to put my memory card back in. I'd been using it for my digital camera. This is not out of the ordinary. I do it all the time. But after I replaced the card, battery and cover it started this continuous boot loop. Sometimes it will go to the main screen and allow me to perform some functions, but then it goes right back to the bootloop. I am running the Padawan JB rom. I did the complete wipe, factory reset and re-flash. But it still did the bootloop. The only time it does NOT exhibit this issue is when the phone is on the charger. Then and only then it works perfectly. Is it the battery? Why will it bootloop without the charger and work fine when on the charger?
It is probably your battery

The Note won't run without a proper battery installed. I had the problem where I swapped out my dead battery for a fully charged one (I do this everyday) and all of a sudden it kept bootlooping.I spent a few hours, when I got home, flashing it back to stock etc to no avail. I could get into download mode, and download to my hearts content but when I tried to boot the phone, it looped. Samsung, samsung, samsung....
I swapped back my, now charged, spare and BAM it booted into stock android no problem. I think my first (stock samsung battery actually) is finished. Or at least has some serious issues, and the phone refuses to boot with it in but my spare (Anker battery) works fine.
I hope this works for you's, it did for me

[Q] Motorola Photon 4G won't turn on/charge

Hi!
I've been having a little trouble with my Motorola Photon 4G this past week. So far it wasn't that bad, but it got worse during the past couple days. I've had it for about 2 years, and have to wait until February to change it. (Note: it is not, nor has it ever been rooted)
It started by just freezing and restarting at random moments. Then I had to remove the battery to restart it when it froze, because the power button wouldn't respond. It started going on reboot loops, where it would freeze, I'd take out the battery, it'd restart, and go through the restart process over and over again until the battery died. I could still turn it on. After a couple days, the battery would drain extremely quickly, to the point where to actually be able to turn it on I'd have to remove the battery, plug the phone in until the "looking for battery" icon popped up, reinstall the battery, wait for it to charge, and then turn it on.
Now, no matter what I do, it will not turn on. If I plug it in a wall outlet, it
-With the battery installed --> LED turns green, nothing pops up, power button is not responsive
-Without the battery --> Nothing happens
If I plug it in the computer, the LED turns white, but the Dual Core screen doesn't pop up. When it rarely does, it freezes there.
I have tried the whole "hold power button and volume down" (Stuck in RSD mode or something like freezes on the screen), or "hold the power button and volume up" (Fastboot freezes on the screen), and the holding the two volume keys when the Dual Core screen pops up doesn't work either.
I can't get a new contract, since I am moving away in a couple months in another country, and an US phone would be useless.
Does anybody have a solution?

Try this:
1) Power down (if not already powered off);
2) Pull the battery out;
3) Plug power in *without* putting the battery in;
4) Boot the phone.
If it does not start, we'll have to go from there. If it does start, you need a new battery.

The light is green because it's powered and the battery doesn't need charging (not in the device). At least we have that.
Ok, this will sound stupid, but let's give it a shot:
1) unplug power;
2) remove battery (if not still removed);
3) Let it sit for a while (10 minutes would be overkill, but what the heck);
4) plug power in (not battery -- leave that out);
5) Press and hold the power and volume-down buttons for a good long time -- get a motorola screen?
If we don't get the motorola screen, could be a couple things -- screen dead? Or hardware prob (maybe the power button is dirty -- push good and hard just to be sure).

As I thought, battery shot. Confuses many. So, an unbrick might not be necessary. The battery just won't even pull up the bootloader.
If you get the new battery, and you never rooted, thus didn't load the clockwork recovery hack, it should charge, and then boot might be ok. We will see, but until you see no boot at all, unbrick is the last resort since it's a slog and you're not overly experienced.
I can help, but the OP on the unbrick thread is a great help in most cases.

Not quite sure what you're saying, but the new battery the OP in this thread purchased should charge fine unless something is really wrong (never rooted so never loaded any charge-precluding mods).
If you are saying that on your phone, with a new battery, you still had to unbrick it because it wouldn't charge ... hmmmm ... seems very strange. Even the clockwork recovery mod would come up and then allow rebooting normally.
We'll see when the new battery comes. Hopefully no unbrick work required, just a charge.
what i am saying is that when the phone is bricked.. i mean bricked... nothing works what so ever except rsd... then thats it... it will not charge the battery. if you have a dead battery then dont expect it to charge while rsd. i needs power on the battery to allow RSD because the computer doesnt flash when the battery is dead and doesnt flash without the battery.
thus... he needs a changed battery. you could buy a seperate charger if you like... but it is much more expensive then buying a battery
Ok, I see what you're saying.
Yes, if truly bricked, it's an unbrick operation. Smells bricked, but I find it plausible the OP gets a battery with enough charge to try a boot. It is concerning we couldn't get booted on power without battery, though. That should have worked. Do it all the time working on kernel modules.
Just saying don't unbrick until trying out the new battery, the former of which the OP could do on power alone.
To qualify so no confusion -- I reboot into recovery mod without battery merely by plugin in -- so I can flash over modules. I've never been able to boot in to the OS normally without the battery in, but we still should see the moto logo.
