A couple of weeks ago I bought a Galaxy Note 2 from Simple Mobile began to experiment with it. Later on I managed to root it, but I accidentally flashed a recovery via Rom Manager which after a restart broke my phone.
After that I flashed a OTA through Odin of Verizon 4.1.2. The system booted and everything but the radio was missing meaning that I could not text or use 3G. I looked for many ways to restore it but none worked.
I later on flashed a T-Mobile ROM thinking it will help restore the radio and it did successfully flash the ROM through the recovery. But the ROM turned out to be 4.3 and the radio still didn't work. Later on in the same day I flashed an OTA of T-Mobile through Odin and that's when this happened. My phone bootloops really fast when I turn it on. The recovery doesn't show up at all. And every time I flash anything through Odin it fails. I've felt ashamed all this time and it took me a while to reflect and face what I've done and decided to post on here to get help.
Thanks for reading! Any help is appreciated. I will try every method that gets posted and will post back results.

I have a very similar problem. hope you get help on this, I have been trying to fix this problem for a month.
The 4.3 update is where the issue came from if it will allow you to flash try using a custom rom to get you out the boot loop but because the 4.3 bootloader is locked you now have another issue you will now have to run a virtual rom and there is a certain way you have to do it or you will completely brick your phone try researching first Google your phone model with the rom build 4.3 root you have to root it now before you can do any modifications at this point

So ,im sorry but its a long story. Hopefully someone can help. My note is Rooted Ive been using TWRP. Everything had been fine until 2 days ago. I tried flashing a ROM i found on Goomanger.( I had been running liquid smooth) just wanted to try something different. Anyways it got stuck on a boot loop. Cant remember the name of the Rom. Anyways i was able to get back to recovery, thankfully. But when i wiped and flashed back to liquid smooth it would say optimizing apps, then it would reach a certain number then reboot and star all over again. So then i tried another Rom and the same thing happened. tried flashing back to stock rooted but it would turn on then completely crash and star booting up again. So finally i was able to flash paraandroid 4.1.2 and Gapps, but here is the kicker i have no service (AT&T) says cannot locate network, my IMEI is gone basically the cellular isn't working. Everything else works fine WiFi,apps, camera. Just cant make calls. I really need your guys help please.:crying:
If you have a suggestion please let me know, i hate using an old Iphone

Just odin back to stock. Get a complete factory stock image from the main sticky thread and flash it with Odin and Download Mode. There's a bug on one of the TWRP versions with 4.3-based ROMs that will put it into a bootloop by breaking device reboots. I was unable to flash my way out of the problem and was forced to do a complete reimage which solved all the problems and put me right back to clean-out-of-the-box state, then I reinstalled TWRP (though an older version before the boot loop bug) and re-flashed my custom ROM. The package I used was the stock image and Odin tool all in one .exe, just plug in to download mode and run it and it flashed bootloader, recovery, system, kernel, etc. all back to stock.

Thanks thats what i did, I just basically had to use KIES to use the emergency recovery, then root my phone again. My question is what version of TWRP causes this? cause i used the newest version i could find off GOO. My other concerne is, will it accept or be safe to use a custom ROM? Well i gues ill find out :laugh: THANKS AGAIN!
Everyone with the sgh-i717 is having problems with the latest TWRP and the most stable version is 2.5.0.0. Go with that one or you'll be starting all over again I imagine. And don't just stop at the download link in the OP's, read the thread and find out what's going on. The problems with TWRP have been going on for a while and the development threads have a lot of comments about the latest build causing problems. Good luck! :good:
I have a Verizon SCH-I605 Note 2. I rooted and unlocked the boot loader when it was on 4.1.2. I have since then flashed 4.3 Roms through TWRP and because of that, it didn't install KNOX at all.
I was having issues with the Bluetooth and WiFi radios recently. Randomly they would stop working and not turn on at all. The toggles would turn light green and act like they were gong to turn on but didnt. They just turned grey again. Then a few hours to a day later they would randomly work and turn on and work. Then randomly they wouldn't work again. I tried to see if there was a pattern to when they would stop working but there wasn't.
At first I thought it was an app that I had installed that was causing it. So I flashed the same and other roms after wiping "everything". That would seem to work for a while but soon it happened again. It even did it without installing any additional apps after flashing. I decided to flash the stock rooted 4.3 OTA. That didn't work either. I then decided to flash stock and unrooted 4.3 using mobile Odin and inject superuser and mobile Odin. Right of the bat WiFi and Bluetooth didn't work. I am ALMOST convinced that it is hardware related now. Any thoughts on what would be causing it?
Also when I flashed it stock and unrooted with mobile odin, It kept root but I lost TWRP. And when I boot into download mode, it doesn't show the KNOX counter line at all so i am assuming that it didnt install it. Is it possible to flash back stock to 4.1.2 with odin and then re root and unlock the boot loader? Or is there another way to get TWRP back?
Any help or feedback is greatly appreciated
A couple weeks ago sprint sent the OTA for the SPH-l600. Well short story it left me with no OS and stuck in a boot loop. I had to quick start my education in custom roms because all other options to get my phone back to stock were out. The thing is i tried so many times to flash the NE4 update to my phone to get back on stock since i can not downgrade but when ever i do i get boot looped again with no OS. I searched the forum and haven't found a solution for this problem. If someone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated and i apologize for posting a new thread if there is a fix already posted. thanks in advance.
same here

Are you still having this issue, did you find a solution? The same issue happened to me and I've everything I can to get it back. The phone even went into KNOX 0x1 after the install.

i have not found a solution as of yet. I have found a stock recovery that I flashed and it works but its not helping the situation after trying to adb the NE4 .img files. I even tried TWRP sideload. I unzipped the NE4 update but the files just don't seem to work. I downloaded over and over again but it just wont in install. And yes i also went into KNOX 0x1 after that OTA. I am Trying to find a way to flash the boot.img from the 4.4.2 Firmware. tried a few methods that haven't worked. hopefully i can piece the missing parts together and see what i come with. there seems to be no DEV's for the SPH-l600 so im on trial and error. I have my phone up so I can still do the normal. Just want my lte and spark back. My Navi's been crap every since.

Can you tell me what you did and used to get the recovery to work? I have tried everything possible and still only getting to the Samsung Mega screen, then it reboots. I can't even get into a stock recovery I have to flash philz , but still no luck

I've been using philz too. Here is the recovery. I flashed it with Odin.
Ok, so I've rooted and put custom roms on numerous phones. I've been trying to put a custom recovery, twrp or cwm, whatever, on my wife's phone, but have got a wall. I know for sure, 100% that I am rooted. I tired to install twrp and cwm via their respective apps, ends up in either bootloop trying to boot into recovery (and FYI, the screen shows that a custom recovery is installed, just doesn't load into recovery and restarts). And tried both via Odin, but got the same result. Have never ran into this problem before with any of my phone's, all of the galaxy's and Galaxy Note's since the S2. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks homies!
Just to add, yes I made sure double checked, triple checked that I was installing the correct recovery for the phone model. Also, she has done all the ota updates that sprint has pushed as of last week (2/9/15).

OK, from your post it looks like you have done this before. To be sure lets go through the motions one more time.
Your device is updated to 4.4.4 NK4 the latest KitKat version. It's rooted you have supersu icon and run a root checker. First download again ( in case you got a bad download ) a copy of Philz CWM version 6.48.4 here is the link https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hlte/ use "phil'z_touch_6.48.6-hlte.tar.md5" . I like to use odin version v1.85 it's little older but very stable, here is a link https://mega.co.nz/#!oA5xzTAL!LXoVWB...ZlOMSWdRGVX6Uo now flash the .tar file with odin. Make sure you let device boot up on it's own back to the OS, do not pull the cable and boot the device yourself. Then try and boot into recovery.
If it bootloops again, I would backup all your data to the PC desktop, and then do a factory reset get back to bone stock ( that means when your in download mode it says Samsung Official status not custom ) so many times I have seen folks with an unrooted device where the bootloader still says custom and you end up with a dirty flash or worse. It may take a couple factory resets to get back to stock, it doesn't always take the first time. When I flash a custom rom and then decide to go back to stock, I flash the rom two or three times to make sure I'm bone stock.
If the factory reset doesn't work you may have to flash a new stock NK4 OS. Then root again and install the recovery. Here is my thread with all the info you need http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 , Enjoy !!!
Thanks for taking the time to give me a detailed response. Sounds like I'm gonna have to wait till Wednesday or Thursday when im off work and have some time to do this, but yeah, I was thinking maybe just a factory reset, but I'll use your links and try it one more time first. I'll let ya know. Thanks again
Do you have another link to the older Odin (1.85).the link says the file isn't there... Thanks again
Never got to test it out, but she didn't really want a custom rom anyway, just the WiFi hotspot, and I finally found a method that works, big shout out to idone for his awesome app. If anyone else is looking for WiFi hotspot without root that sees this, check out his tread in the apps and themes, for this phone. Worked like a charm. Thanks again jimzweb1. Much appreciate the reply!

That's the problem Knox security is getting harder flash engineering boot loader again then try rashr in app store to flash philz
So the first thing was I rooted a Samsung S4 SGH-M919.
I used Chainfire's files and Odin. it worked just fine.
Gave the phone to my wife but the firmware 4.4.2 was clearly outdated that none of the apps she played worked, everything just froze on her or crashed.
So I decided to install a custom rom, this led me to Imperium Lollipop 5.0.1
Well that in turn made the phone unbootable. It would continuously go into these 4 circular swirling balls and get stuck there. I cant even get into Recovery Mode. Only Download Mode.
So this made me do some searching and I dl'ed SGH-M919 stock firmware 4.2.2
I used Odin to flash that and it failed.
So now the phone boots into a screen that telling me to uses Kies to fix the issue.
I'm at a loss what to do next.
Can someone give me the necessary steps to fix the phone and where I intended to go with this?
Much appreciated. thanks.

Are you sure that you have the right bootloader installed for the lollipop rom? Did you factory reset before installing custom rom? Try to wipe davlik after installation completes before restarting device. Also follow the instructions given by the rom thread op.
