I have a note 2 that I kept stock for a long time. And decided to root it about a week ago. I used the latest casual one click root. And it seemed all dandy initially until i went between a few different roms and it decided it wanted to shut off randomly and not boot back up past the note 2 screen on its own. But the odd part was it booted while connected to the wall or to the computer. So I flashed to 4.1.2 stock via odin and the issue still remains. I can only use it fine on charger. Is there something else im missing on flashing back to stock?

Hmm when you installed 4.3 did you do so wiping everything could be an app causing the problem. Try it from brand new with no apps installed and see if that helps. Could be also a radio issue as well.

Yeah I wiped everything. Actually used odin twice to revert to stock 4.1.2. I tried a few cm nightlies before it began. Is there anything else I should flash on top of whats already been done?

I've found that even after using ODIN to go back to stock 4.1.2, that there's still leftover data on the phone from custom ROM's. I've read where others had the same issue. I don't know why Odin doesn't seem to fully wipe everything ... but this has been my personal experience.
The way I've fixed this (and all this may not be necessary).. . is that after Odin'ing back to stock 4.1.2, I boot into stock recovery, then do a full factory reset and wipe cache. Then I booted into the stock Rom and used the bypass setup trick (touch the left side of the screen right above Emergency... then right side, then left, then right again, and then volume up... this should bypass setup to save time).
Then went into phone's settings and performed a factory reset from within the stock Rom too...
Finally... (because I'm a bit OCD... so this is probably not necessary), but I ODIN'd back to stock 4.1.2 one more time and then proceeded with using CASUAL again to root /unlock the bootloader).
I know this is a pain in the butt... but this has worked for me. Maybe others will have some better suggestions.
(Edit : Forgot to mention that if you're not wanting to return to stock to start over again... check out this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53624921) on how to flash a stock recovery for the purposes of doing a proper data wipe... then can you odin your custom recovery back to the device without having to fully restore to stock... this can be a real time saver. Please make sure to thank the OP for the helpful info).
So in the end I tried to reset from stock recovery and wipe cache. Than do a reset from the settings and the issue presisted. But now I have root and recovery as well. So I may give a rom a try.

This is totally a guess, but I'm thinking that you may have a battery problem... and it's just a coincidence that these problems started happening around the same time that you rooted. You may try replacing the battery to see if that fixes things.... (you can get one pretty cheap off ebay or Amazon).
Yeah thats odd. I had bought another battery from a phone store I use to work at and have no issues now, back on 4.1.1 rooted.

Good morning guys. I'm having trouble with my Samsung galaxy SGH-I777. Every time I open an app that uses he camera (ie camera, barcode scanner, flashlight, camera) he flash goes off then it just reboots he phone. I've already done a factory restore. I even went into recovery mode and wipe cache and did a restore from there. I've also just downloaded the new ICS update and it still didn't fix the problem. Please help

when you say factory restore does that mean you completely wiped the phone and flashed back to stock rom. If not, that's what I would do to determine if we're looking at a hardware or software issue.
No I didn't flash it back to stock. How would I even do that?

I would flash back to stock. If it still does it, bring it in to at&t service center and show them. They can give you a replacement. Or you can call them. Just make sure your on non rooted stock firmware.
a full wipe and reflash is required before posting any problems. because99 % of the time it's user error. Did you fully wipe system, cache, data, and run the kernel cleaning scriptbefore posting this issue?

IF this is happening across roms, and assuming correct firmware, with a clean install (factory reset, no misc apps installed) then I'd say you have a hardware problem. If you've flashed incorrect firmware then a reset won't help you until you flash back to the correct firmware. Of course all of this moot if its physical damage caused by dropping the phone or maybe water damage. If you're completely stock and haven't subjected the phone to any physical abuse, then return the phone for a new one.

This.
Run fix permissions in recovery (last resort).
Sometimes if my phone freezes up and I need to do a battery pull my phone will randomly bootloop. This has happened to me about 3 or 4 times on all kinds of roms, tw and aosp. One time on a tw rom it ended up booting into the samsung setup wizard. It was weird because it didnt wipe my phone but all my apps were force closing if I opened them. The only fix was to wipe and flash again. This happened on Nephilim rom last. Also this has happened on several kernels. Has this happened to anyone else? Do you think this could be a hardware issue? Thanks in advance.
It's to my happened to me with certain ROM installs when I flashed dirty/without doing a factory reset prior to flashing.

No for me it had nothing to do with that. I could be coming from a clean install and pull my battery and my phone would just bootloop

Odin to stock and see if you can make it happen. If it doesn't happen on stock then it's something you have done while flashing. Are you using sd swap?

I mean I fix it by flashing another rom so I don't need to odin. Everything is okay so far. And no I'm not using SD swap. Just wanted to see too if anyone has experienced it. I have a feeling it has to do with my device I may get a replacement
So the problem started when I flashed a 4.3 rom last friday. I formatted my internal memory in recovery mode because for some reason I only had 4 gigs of space and had moved everything over to the sd card. Once that was done phone said like 8 gigs available and thought everything was fixed. Well now if I turn off my phone it gets stuck in some kind of bootloop but it's not looping. It's just sits at the Samsung unlock symbol and custom screen. Doesn't loop just sits there. So one day I decided to format the internal memory again and the phone boots up like normal, but I can't power off the phone without going into recovery and formatting the internal memory every time. Any ideas on what is causing it or how I can make the Samsung custom boot stock instead so I can send it out.
I also have tried flashing another 4.3 rom and it doesn't seem to go away either.
I'm not an expert on how they have to make this stuff work with the mdk bootloader but I'm sure it's not hardware related. Have you tried flashing back to a 4.2 rom?

Downloading one now hopefully it will fix it.
Which recovery are you using? Make sure to wipe data, cache, and dalvik 3x each, then flash your rom
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
TWRP and I flashed hyperdrive still no luck still freezing in the same spot and have to actually format to get past it.
Anyone else have any idea on what else I can try?

Well if it doesn't turn on after flashing stock firmware via Odin, you'll know its a hardware issue with it and your warranty should cover a new replacement.

I had this issue when I first got my phone. I bought it off Swappa, it was already running TWRP 2.5.0.2, giving me nothing but problems. I switch to Philz Touch and no longer have the issue.
My phone has begun draining rapidly. When it is plugged in, while booted up but screen off, it gets very hot and doesn't charge. If I turn it off, it will charge. Could this be Rom or kernel related or is something wrong with my phone or battery?

Best way to tell would of course be to flash back to Stock firmware and see how it does.
That is what i would do. And i would flash the Android 4.1.2 Stock i777ucMD8.
U could also get Root after Stock and install the BetterBatteryStats app to help ya see what is using ur battery.

I tried to flash cooked but it wouldn't boot. I know it was a good download because I'd flashed it before. It also won't boot AOCP 7. In addition two nandroid backups failed to restore. Strangely, by flashing partitions separately I was able to get CM11 to restore even though it said system failed. I'm confused and frustrated right now. I'm going to flash RenderBroken's nightly tomorrow and see if I still have problems.
Btw, bbs hasn't been working for me either. It's been giving me weird numbers that don't make sense like 19 hours since boot when it's been around 2.
I wonder if it's just time for me to get an S4...

What ROM were you using before? this happened to me after coming back from Kit-Kat. Id recommend flashing a CM-10.2 nightly. It could just be the battery. Maybe even the charger port! Id flash a new ROM first though.
I am on CM11. I wiped my phone but ended up just reinstalling the nandroid I had made so am still on CM11. Interestingly, the problem is not happening today. I believe it may have been a rogue app or process. I'm hoping the phone/battery is still good because I'm broke! Lol

Hey Guys
I'm a experienced flasher but I have ran into a issue with flashing roms on my Note 3. I had recently just been running stock rooted rom (basically I rooted my phone the day it came out with Sprint and never have update anything). So when I noticed that ny son's note 3 (note rooted) got an update recently, I decided to look for an updated base and broadband for my phone, which I thought I had found. So after so help with figuring out which update I needed to do, I figured NH7 was the latest. Finally got my phone updated or so it appeared.
So this week I've been trying desperately to update to MOAR S5 PORT (NE5 based I believe) I followed the instructions carefully and tried all 3 versions. All failed. So I restored my phone. Tonight I tried flashing flashing Pac-man rom. Same thing happened. Failed during install.
Can you guys take a look at my setup and tell me what may be wrong? Doing a clean install each time.

Any time you wipe the system partition, you MUST restart TWRP recovery before flashing the rom of your choice,.. or it'll fail every time.

Let us know how it goes. Happy flashing.
So I wiped everything. Tried to install and it failed. So i go to reboot to recovery and it ask me about superuser. But it doesnt install because their is no OS. REBOOT to recovery and it fails again
Do I need to format data?
Actually I dont even see a option in TWRP to format data
I wonder if I should try a dirty flash?
I would odin flash a full stock nh7. To get you all the way to nh7. I see you are still at nab on one. I had problems when they weren't all the same. I could be wrong.... I'm a noob. lol
Then, root with chanfires autoroot. Install your recovery. Then, flash your rom of choice.
NOTE: I said nh7.... but, if the rom you want to use isn't, then odin to nab or whatever the rom you want to run is. I don't know about downgrading, could make a brick.... lol
Research everything I said before you do anything! Or wait for someone to correct what's wrong with what I said! I take no responsibility for what you do to your phone!
one of your issues is you updated wrong! unless you were on nc5 you shouldnt jump right to nh7. you have to update in order to insure no issues. so if oyu were nqb or ever mi3 you need to go in order mi3>nab>nc5>nh7
Chainfires auto root.....http://download.chainfire.eu/362/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.zip
Here is Supersu download.....so when you check to see if you have root.....it will all be good.......http://download.chainfire.eu/578/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip
Odin v3.07.......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738841
now you can try to go back to stock and flash whichever you are going to flash........or you can do a reflash of whatever you want....I have notice a losss of root also too.
also make sure to look into all those fixes for security patches xda has for our phone......download and scan with bluebox security and search for any open links that have a fix here on xda........
this happened to me the other weekend and it took an afternoon to dig all resources to figure out why and what i needed to do........I started rooting with a samsung moment......
I am back to stock.....no complaints.....but only did to get home before i go back to a rom.......hope we have helped....
Thanks guys. I will try all of these

I dont see a new TWRP. All I see is version 2,8
I installed all the updates back to back. I have TWRP installed and I'm on NH7 now. But I cant get root. Chainfire Auto took me back to stock recovery and I'm not rooted. So I flashed TWRP via Odin and flashed ChainFire Superuser v.2.14 and I'm still not rooted. All thought it say it worked. So WHen I reboot, what do I need to do then? I have SU installed
Ok guys. After flashing all the Roms in order via ODIN. I finally have NH7 working and rooted.
I just tried wiping system, data,dalvik and cache. Then I immediately rebooted to recovery and tried to flash MOAR V1. and Pac-man rom. Both failed.
One thing Im noticing in recovery is that the system is not mounted in when wiping. So I tried wiping with and without system being mounted and got the same result. One thing Im not sure about with flashing for the note is if the Data should be formatted before installing? However I dont see that option in TWRP.
This is the only phone Ive had this much trouble with when it came to flashing.
Any ideas?
