My Galaxy Note 4 (N910C) is not turning on! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi xda friends, I need your help.
I was rooted and running a custom marshmallow rom (resurrection remix was called) but it was full of bugs so I decided to go back to stock. I flashed a 5.1.1 firmware and it never turned on again. It is stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" message. I tried again and again, I wiped everything, I also tried this with kies "firmware upgrade and initialization" but nothing changed. Please tell me what can I do? I'm desperate!

Try posting this in the Galaxy Note 4 forums for a better answer. But I'll try to help you with my general knowledge of android. What android version is the Ressurection Remix on? Does this ROM run a custom Kernel?

Hi, it was on 6.0.1! I'm not sure about the kernel, the thread is closed and I can't see the rom's info.

A lot of the time jumping from one android version to the other can cause issues. Depending on what the rom is made to install, it could cause it to not boot. Some ROMs install kernels and some don't. Try using ODIN to flash the stock firmware and stock kernel. If there is an option to flash via recovery you can try that as well. Getting back to stock will allow you to start over again fresh. You can then re-install your ROMs. If you want to upgrade or downgrade your android version, make sure to flash the stock firmware and kernel of that android version first. I don't own a Galaxy Note 4, so I can't really give you any specific information. Searching the Galaxy Note 4 forums may give you a bit more answers.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 10.1 (wifi+3G) screen flickering after trying CM9

Hello guys,
I am experienced in flashing roms and whatever... I already did this hundreds of times with a Galaxy S, Asus Transformer and now with my Galaxy Nexus.
I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3G+wifi). I tried to install CM9 but it didn't work. And man... I really tried a loooot!!!
Well... now I am trying to use the regular stock rom in my Galaxy Tab and everytime the screen turns itself off and I turn it on again, it flickers!!! It's VERY annoying since I have to turn off the tablet to be able to use it again.
I have a nandroid backup and I restored it, but it didn't work... it still flickers!!! =P
I also tried to flash some recovery files: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2487 like you guys recommended in some other posts.
But it didn't work, too.
Guys... I am getting a little desperate in here... I have been searching for an answer for this for days.
Can anyone help me, please?
Have you tried to use ODIN to flash back to stock?

Hello 9xnine, thank you for your reply. Unhappily I don't have a stock rom (and it seems there's none available - Brazil's model).
Anyway restoring a nandroid backup (like I did) would be the same than flash a stock rom back, right?
Theoretically yes but I often find that Nandroid's won't work for a number of reasons. ODIN is and always has been my friend.
Try this. Looks like the ZVV build is for Brazil

Flash by Odin rom from this link:http://www.hotfile.com/dl/145473375/7dd41d4/P7510UEKMP_P7510XABKMP_XAB.zip.html
This is a rom for 7510 but it works with 7500. Then you have to upload the latest CWM and CM9.
For me it works.

[Q] Help! Did I brick my phone after Odin/Siyah?

Apologies for the desperate newbie question, but here goes--
I have followed the instructions in the stickied tutorials or tried to follow them so far. I rooted my SGH-i777 using framaroot. No problem there.
I got Mobile ODIN and the latest siyah CWM. I flashed the kernel.
When I try to power on I get stuck at "SAMSUNG" and then phone appears to power off.
I can get into recovery mode using vol up, vol down and power. I see the Siyah screen, etc. But that's as far as I can go.
HELP!
It seems to be that you flashed the wrong kernel what kind of ROM are you running touchwiz or aosp

Thanks for your response. I flashed the latest Siyah kernel after reading the "How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!!" thread. FWIW in recovery mode it says "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2-Siyah"
I had actually factory reset my SGH-i777 before rooting and flashing so I was running the Touchwiz that comes stock with the SGH-i777.
Any steps I can take to get out from under this rock? :crying:

Yes. Not to worry.
It sounds like the system is incompatible with the kernel. You didn't say which version of the OS you were running before you installed the kernel. Do you remember what it was? Which stock comes with the phone would depend on how old the phone is.
How to proceed depends on what you want to do. If you want to install custom firmware, then I would suggest that you flash one of the stock plus root packages with Odin, and then use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro to install the correct custom kernel, meaning one that is compatible with the system that you chose.

Thanks for your help.
It was 4.1.2. The phone was from near launch but I've upgraded the OS as Samsung has released them.
Ultimately I'd like to end up with CM10.1, but obviously that's a secondary concern at this point to a working phone
Sorry for being dense, but can you explain what you mean by "flash one of the stock plus root packages with Odin, and then use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro to install the correct custom kernel?" Or point me to a thread/post that does so? Thanks again :good:

Here it is (the stock + root rom): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322046
It doesn't hurt to do some looking.
Use Odin v1.85 for the flashing (google it).
Then find a kernel for your phone (don't try Siyah again :b), like for example, Entrophy's kernel, and flash the zimage file using mobile odin.

OK. The AJK v3.0 NoSwap kernel is the only kernel compatible with stock AT&T JB 4.1.2. However, unless you can get it onto your sd card, it won't do you any good at this point.
So I would suggest you flash UCLL6 stock plus root which is 4.0.4 from here. The OP has the complete guide, and links to working custom kernels. Once you get it up and going with a custom kernel, you can then flash CM 10.1, or anything else you want.
Edit: Cooked v1.6 as suggested by azeem40 is not Odin flashable. It is a CWM flashable zip, so you would have the same issue getting it onto your sd card. The above is your quickest route.

Help with Reboot !!!!!!

Hi all
Tried posting before but not getting any answers
Im new to android and have been tweaking my samsung s4 for a couple of months now. I have a Samsung S4 GT I9505 with TWRP boot recovery , nova launcher prime and KitKat 4.4 Google play edition Rom. I have also flashed Faux Kernel onto my phone to prevent random restarts. The problem is I am still getting restarts (about 8 a day) the problem was a lot worse before I re-flashed it with the same kernel. I have tried flashing it again but I still get the same problem. Also some of my apps restart more often then before I had the custom ROM (GPE)
Help would be most appreciated
Thanks
Aiden

Send it back to the manufacturer. It's obviously a damaged phone if it can't last one day without a reboot.
The phone was fine before I installed the rom.

[Q] Cant install any ROM on my Phone or even perform a Nandroid Backup

Ive tried installing the 4.4.2 ROM Achidroid N7000 on my phone using TWRP but it skipped the MD5 check and said "Installation failed/aborted....". I then tried an AOSP 4.4.2 ROM but it said the same error message. After that, I gave up and tried to use the phone. When it booted up, it froze on the Samsung logo and wouldnt boot up completely. Ive tried doing a FDR through the custom recoveries but still the same thing happens. I really dont know what to do. I have an i9300 under 4.3.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I dun think archi developed any rom for the N7000. At least I didn't see any when googling. But if you flashed a N7000 rom on ur phone, even if u finally unbrick it, I bet there will be some hardware issues.

That should be a typo its n7100 which is the port for our s3 from international note 2
Sent from my GT-i9300
The first page alr said tat the rom is VERY buggy and is in the experimental state. Many things are not working in tat rom. So I have no idea why some one would wan it as their daily driver rom.
Issue Solved
Thank you guys. I was able to flash the ROM properly using PHILZ recovery.

any other options ?

I have a sprint note 3 running lollipop... my question is I rooted and tried installing a rom and I guess having lollipop hardly any of the roms will work ? Is there any reason too keep it rooted ?
Try sac23 ROMs. He has a S6 and a note 5 ROMs. I'm on the note 5 and it's running awesome.
ill try it thanks jag !
I forgot to mention that you must be on OC5 modem and bootloader to install these ROMs. There are links in the treads that will give you the files. You must connect phone to computer and run Odin 3.07 to flash modem and bootloader. The ROMs are zip files that you flash with TWRP. If you don't have TWRP, you can flash it with Odin as well. Good luck.

for touchwiz ? Have you tried CM roms or something like it? Most of the time if a rom is a little buggy the users within the thread have figured out how to get everything running smooth or the developer will shed some light.
