N7105 stuck on boot

Greetings from Portugal.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 stuck on boot loop.

I've been trying to flsh a stock ROM but had no success because the process with ODIN fails (NAND WRITE).

Is there any way I can reinstall all phone software without going to the Samsung's assistance?

Here are some answers to some questions you may have.

Model? Note 2 N7105 (no warranty)

Operator? MEO (PT)

Kies didn't help? No. This model is not recognized by Kies

Root? No

Bootloader unbloqued? I don't think so (cannot check. Stuck on boot)

Can you access Recovery Mode? Yes (tried every option but none worked)

Can you access Download Mode? Yes

What ROMs did you try to flash? Stock ROM MEO from sammobile.com/firmwares

Here are some pictures

I Have GT-N7100 3G I am trying to make it 4G is there a addon for that or i have to flash a custom rom. Please help.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
You're not getting the point, 4g is a hardware support not a software support, and your phone doesn't support it, Samsung make 2 international variants of each device, one is 3g and the other is 4g, in your case the n7100 is 3g and the n7105 is 4g.

I know it's shocking but it's the truth.

Your device isn't a 4g variant so you can never use 4g in it.

Then what is xorware 4G module in xposed framework. Does it work or not.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
If you read the description of the module in the xda thread, you would have known that "It is an application that automates changing network mode 2G, 3G and 4G based on a configuration that you specify" so it has nothing to do about enabling 4g.

Proximity sensor not working after flashing custom ROM

I recently flashed a custom ROM on my Galaxy note 2 in stock ROM it has smart stay option but on my current ROM which is cm13 or marshmallow 6.0.1 there is no such option so everytime I receive a call the screen goes black and the keys stop working so I have to pull out the battery everytime.

More details on the ROM this is the link :-

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-2/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-n7100-t3267758

Please help. And also I checked my hardware proximity sensor but it's fine. There software problem.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
Smart stay is a touch wiz rom feature and won't be available in cm13, your black screen usually happens when you set the dpi to a lower value than default value.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHacker007:
Then how to fix it??
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
If you changed the dpi, then set it back to default.

If you didn't then it's a rom issue and the developers of your rom should be informed about it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHacker007:
Changing DPI didn't work but the proximity sensor value was haywire (as another thread was stating) so i installed xposed framework and disabled the proximity sensor entirely worked like miracle.

Search XDA forums for how to install xposed framework

And enable modules in it

Link for the module for disabling various sensors:-

http://dl-xda.xposed.info/modules/com.mrchandler.disableprox_v8_a9bc79.apk

Just goto the module and click on proximity, the default option should be "do not do anything" change it to "disable".

Please Give thanks if it worked for you.

I own a N7105 t0ltezh 4.3 EMK3 stockrom with knox already tripped. I rooted, installed TWRP 2.8.5.0, and made an nandroid backup of all partitions, titanium backup, EFS backup, just in case. It's working so far. Now I wanna try the DN4 rom, but it says better install Agni kernel. At this point I want to make sure some points before going all out:

1- What version is my bootloader? Is it compatible already?

2- How I make a backup of the stock kernel?

3- Better flash latest kernel or exactly the mentioned version?

4- t0ltezh is the same t0lte just for Hong Kong?

5- Any advice or thing I am missing?

Thanks for any reply and sorry for any bad english!

EDIT

So, I am now responding my own questions for later reference:

1- I could not be able to confirm precisely my bootloader version, but i guessing at least 4.3 because KNOX was already installed in stock.

2- I did an nandroid backup and it contains the kernel. Not found nothing to backup just the kernel so far.

3- Flashed the latest kernel without problems so far

4- For flashing purposes, yes, because I was able to flash without issues. t0ltezh is probably just a country tag, i guess.

5- ALWAYS MAKE NANDROID. It was a life saver. And ALWAYS READ ALL POSSIBLE INFORMATION before flash anything, but it is just common sense after all :)

That said, I would like to thank all the good people here posting information and roms for everything!

N7100 multiple flash fails

Hi,

Have tried a number of times installing a custom ROM but could never get the google play store to work.

Took it to a repair shop but they said it's been flashed so many times and there's so many code conflicts in it that it would take too long to fix it.

At least they've got it to the point where 4.1.1 is working on it, but the imei doesn't match the phone. It's rooted with SuperSU installed on it . . . just not sure where to go from here. Any help would be massively appreciated.

Some information below which may be useful to you.

Has anyone managed to increase the Ram in Samsung Galaxy note 2?

Hello,

I have a note 2 Gt-N7105 (android 4.4.2) that's slowly grinding to a halt. Just wondering if increasing the RAM will help things along. Have read poasts that it's not possible. But then came by a website where they claim to be able to do so. It's a website called whatandroid, and the article is by Prashanth Sharma.

Does anyone know if it works. I'm a novice and hence any advice would be welcome. (Sorry, I'm unable to add the link as this is my second post. If you google "increase ram in samsung galaxy note 2" you should be able to find the page).

Thanks.

how to restore efs

I seem to resolve the Lineage update issue myself.

But I have made some other blunder as well. My 3G/4G LTE IS NOT WORKING. 2G is working but not quite well. After installing lineage, my device was network locked displaying 'network sim unlock code'. After going through multiple threads on the same forum, I wiped my efs folder through *#197328640#. Though i made a backup of efs folder through 'Partitions Backup & Restore 2.0.1 apk by Wanam'. I dont have an IMEI number as well.

I dont know what to do now. Do I have to say good bye to my 3G/LTE on my phone? I am freaking out. Please HELP.

Phone is Samsung Galaxy Note II (t889)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishtiak02:
The lag issue might probably be decreased if you increase your RAM. But basically it should be removed of you clear the cache and delete junk files. Check out which app is consuming how much RAM in background and look for abnormal RAM usage. RAM can be increased by using a certain portion of your system/data/preload/sdcard as virtual memory or zram/vram. In this case you need a "Swap supported custom kernel" and Ram expander app(paid app). You need root access as well. Expanding RAM may degrade sdcard's life

Hi.

So, I found my old N7100 a few days ago, and I can't get it to work properly on any ROM later than 4.4.4 Cyanogenmod. The problem is Wi-Fi isn't working, it shows available networks but doesn't connect, no matter which bootloader/radio I try. I checked several combinations (in fact, every BL/radio I could find, as most links are dead anyway) and several ROMs. Wi-Fi connects and works fine on old ROMs, but not on anything modern. Is there any known solution or should I just throw it back into the drawer?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishtiak02:
Umm have you checked your password? Maybe you can click forget and try again. It works perfectly for me and works as a great secondary phone. Give crdroid ROM a last try. It has February security updates and is the latest ROM for note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TalkingChicken:
Yeah, I tried two separate networks, both 2.4 and 5GHz, triple-checked the passwords. Since I was sick for a few days, I had the time to try every single ROM from XDA and nothing above Android 4.4.4 connects to the Wi-Fi. Latest TWRP, I even started from scratch, flashing the NI1 firmware. Really frustrating.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishtiak02:
Did you try the bootloader and modem by LogosA ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TalkingChicken:
Yes, I have them installed right now. The annoying part is nothing shows up in logcat, and the router doesn't see any connection attempt.

Either way, at this point it's just a waste of everyone's time. Thanks for the help, and the Note goes back to the drawer to rot. I'll have to buy something newer as a secondary.

The best I could get to was NETWORK_SELECTION_DISABLED_ASSOCIATION_REJECTION, no matter which network I wanted to use.

Hi everyone, my Note 2 shuts down when the temperature is moderately low (under 15 °C / 60 °F) :(

I thought it were a battery problem, since I still used the 2013 one with which the phone was originally shipped.

But buying a new one didn't solve the problem.

I tried swapping batteries with my girlfriend (who has the same model of phone, without the shut-down problem) but this didn't work too (regardless which battery I use, my phone shuts down, hers not) -- unfortunately I thought of swapping the batteries only after buying the new one... :o

So I thought it could be some sw problem and flashed a new ROM (crDroid 7.1.2)

I'm very pleased since this is much better than the stock ROM I had before, but the shut-down-in-low-temp problem still rears its ugly head (maybe a bit mitigated).

E.g. today I went skiing and carried the phone in the breast pocket of my jacket. Outside temp was about 2-5 °C, so it wasn't really cold, but the phone shut down.

When I tried to power it on, it wouldn't until I carried it home and put it on recharge.

After a few minutes of recharge, I could power it on and the battery was at 98%...

Any ideas of what the problem could be? Something hw?

If nothing else works, I theoretically could take off the display and digitizer of my phone and connect it to a third Note 2 (which display was broken by my girlfriend some time ago, otherwise it works fine), but I hope there is some simpler solution because I've never done something like that... :confused:

Hello, I own a Note 2 (N7100) and I rooted and flashed TWRP(3.4.0-0) using odin3.07, then using TWRP wiped the Dalvik / ART Cache, Cache, System, and Data and flashed this ROM and ARM 5.1 GApps which both installed perfectly. When I tried to boot the system up however, I would get stuck on the screen that says Samsung GALAXY Note 2 GT-N7100. I tried wiping everything again and re-installing the ROM and GApps, but it still gets stuck here. I looked around and found some advice to flash stock ROM onto the phone and try again, and while it boots successfully with the stock ROM, when I flashed TWRP and tried again, I got stuck at the same place again. This is my first time flashing, and so I think I may have missed something obvious😅. Can anyone give me any advice to get past this?

Sir, I have a question regarding the the SDS and exynos mmC bug..

I know that these issues are already fixed in 4.1.2 firmware. But on what part of firmware does contain the fix? I read about it being in the kernel, so both the SDS and exynos bug fixed in the kernet and not in the firmware itself? Can somebody confirm this, pls.

I raised this question because presently I am still at 4.1.1, and I would like to stay here since rooting and unrooting the phone is very easy with the apk method without flashing which means its the safest. But I am aware that despite the safety, 4.1.1 is prone to SDS bug and that kills staying in 4.1.1.

1. Is it possible flashing the stock kernel from 4.1.2 containing the fix on a stock 4.1.1?

2. Can the SDS bug be fixed in a different way other than flashing kernel or flashing 4.1.2, because doing either will make the apk method useless since it also contains the fix for the exynos.

What I am trying to accomplish is that is it possible to stay in 4.1.1, root and unroot with the apk method, and at the same time have the SDS fix? Exynos bug fix can be control via the apk method so SDS fix is most important.

I hope somebody can clear this to me, rather than suggesting to just go with 4.1.2. If no possible way, then that is my last resort.
