[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Metzdroid:
Root Virgin - Stuck In Boot Loop Issue

Hi Guys, I badly need all the help I can get from you.

Thanks to all who have shared and enlightened me in rooting.

I was naive to try and install the Xposed Installer and APK apps that would enable me to view apps in tablet mode on my E160L without flashing and installing Paranoid Android. I got he tutorial video from youtube (www*dot*youtube*dot*com/watch?v=Yx0a-C4xGTM)

As I was already done downloading and installing both files/apps, after the supposedly last reboot, my phone got stuck in Boot Loop. Hence my problem. I am a root virgin and I have all to thank you guys for helping me analyze the problem and probably find a solution to this. Special thanks to darkspr1te who has been patiently assisting me as well.

So here's what I did and downloaded from different threads here.

1. Downloaded HOME_E160L.UH24.1821_CL966093_REV02_user_low_ship_rooted.tar from this thread: [SHV-E160][Root][Stock]How to Root Korean Note via Flashing with Rooted Stock FW

2. Downloaded cwm with this filename: samsungE160recovery.tar from this thread "How to root a korean galaxy note E160L (LGU+) model (ICS) + cwm install"

3. Downloaded Odin wit this filename: Odin3 v1.85 from this thread: [SHV-E160][Root][Kernel]How to Root Korean Note via Tegrak Kernel Setup.

4. Followed your instructions:

- power off phone

- connect usb cable to phone and PC

- run Odin as administrator

- go into download mode: vol down+home+power

- device was identified by Odin (only Auto reboot and F .Reset Time was checked and PDA,

- clicked PDA and chose HOME_E160L.UH24.1821_CL966093_REV02_user_low_ship_rooted.tar file

- watched and finished flashing

- pressed vol down+home after vibration on reboot

- now again on download mode, same settings as before, clicked PDA and chose sam86sungE160recovery.tar

- upon reboot, pressed vol up+vol down and went into recovery mode under the name E110S CWM Recovery Quens Mod

- chose advanced, chose wipe davlik cache --> yes - wipe davlik cache, ***go back***, wipe cache partition (yes), wipe data/factory reset (yes)

- chose reboot system now and watched and waited for reboot

5. I tried waiting even if phone rebooted for many times while not being able to move past U+ LTE image (phone reboots again).

6. Other files downloaded:

- from thread "How to root a korean galaxy note E160L (LGU+) model (ICS) + cwm install" aside from samsungE160recovery.tar file

- cwm-160l-update.zip

- Superuser-i717-ICS-signed.zip

- Tegrak.rec.tar

- from thread [SHV-E160][Root][Kernel]How to Root Korean Note via Tegrak Kernel Setup

- Tegrak-Kernel-Build-41-for-SHV-E160L-UH24.recovery.tar

- Tegrak-Kernel-Build-41-for-SHV-E160L-UH24.zip

- from thread [ROOT/ROM/DEV] Korean Galaxy Note Development and Support

- cwm.tar (i tried flashing this one in download mode instead of samsungE160recovery.tar but when trying to go to recovery mode (vol up+vol down+power) after releasing buttons after seeing samsung name, it does not proceed to recovery mode. Only the samsungE160recovery.tar was successful. Tegrak was also successful but both failed to reboot properly after. I am still stuck in boot lopp issue.

I know I am asking a lot, but kindly please check my process and files and I would greatly appreciate any form of advice.

Thank you very much and hope your having a great weekend.I am from the Philippines by the way. Good thing I still have my old but reliable Samsung Galaxy S that I can use for the meantime. But I really need my Note E160L as some of my work relies on me being mobile.

Thank you for reading and listening to me. Please help me. Thank you.
