[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duellking:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (N7100) device.

Since the official update over Kies from 4.3 to 4.4.2 my device stucks on boot loop. I updated successfully and accidentally it restarted. Then it began to reboot every time on Samsung Logo. Why?

1. I am able to flash any Android 4.3 or Android 4.4 rom over Odin3 successfully. But no official ROM works -> Bootloop.

2. I also tried to wipe Cache and do Factory Reset before and after the flash.

3. I am not able to flash Android 4.2 or lower. As I understand this is because of the new bootloader?

4. I am not able to flash an old bootloader (MJ5). I think this is normal?

5. I flashed Philz Recovery. I didn't find any helpful new feature and wipe and cache clearing with it does not help.

6. I tried other bootloaders for Android 4.4. It doesn't change anything.

7. I tried re-partition with PIT file. No changes. Bootloop again and again.

Whatever I do, the device stucks in bootloop. What can I do?

These are the ROMs I tried:

O2 Branding - 4.4.2 - PDA: N7100XXUFOD4 - CSC: N7100VIAFOD2

O2 Branding - 4.3 - PDA: N7100XXUEMK9 - CSC: N7100VIAEML2

Is there any way to find out why it reboots? Any other ROM?

By the way: I have "Knox Warranty Void" on "1". The "SW Rev." is "A2".

Because I am able to wipe the cache, do factory reset and flash new ROMs and do re-partition I don't think the device is fully broken, isn't it?

The device is from O2 Germany (branding).

I hope anybody can help me. :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidwizzard:
I had to reflash it twice before I got it work -> reason: I don't have O2 Germany provider :D

Nevertheless it worked for me so if you have O2 Germany provider reflash with Odin,

otherwise you can use custom stock OD4 by [MENTION=4579645]wesamothman[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duellking:
I don't really understand what you mean. I also flashed the latest cyanogenmod build. It restarts after the blue cyanogenmod logo. I've wiped cache, dalvik cache, system and data before and have done a Factory Reset. :( I don't understand why it restarts.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prouder:
I have a very unusual question. I have a bootloader locked Verizon S4 that has a broken LCD and an AT&T S4 with an unlocked bootloader that works perfectly fine. Knowing my Verizon SIM won't work on the AT&T model and being a flashaholic, is there any way I can tear each of them down and potentially switch the hardware (ie. AT&T's mobo with Verizon's modem or vice versa) in order to keep the AT&T phone with CDMA network from the other phone's hardware and use my Verizon SIM?

I'm sure there is no in depth guide anywhere about such situation but some insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

And this is all cause I lost my Nexus 6
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
Might be better asking in the at&t or Verizon forum
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
While this is the completely wrong place to ask this, being the International S4 forum, the answer to you question is "no". You cannot mix and match parts like that as the motherboard of the SCH-I545 is designed differently from that of a SGH-I337. What you'll need to do if you want to use CDMA on the AT&T S4 is mess around in the service menu of the AT&T S4 and change from GSM to CDMA. Even then, there's no guarantee that will work. Assuming the AT&T S4 is carrier unlocked, you would still have an issue of potentially not getting service, as I believe Verizon requires phones to be registered on the network before they can be used. Worse, you may lose LTE service due to Verizon policies.

You'd be better off just replacing the broken screen and midframe. Less hassle, though much more expensive.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yilun:
Wouldn't recommend you doing that, probably just screw up both devices. What you could do is replace one devices lcd with the working one. Much easier.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Actually, it's not that easy. He'd have to heat up the AT&T and Verizon S4 screens to peel them both from their midframes. If he didn't permanently damage the AT&T screen through use of a heat source like a heat gun in loosening the adhesive which bonds it to the midframe, he would then have to apply new adhesive to the Verizon midframe, and then place the AT&T screen on top.

Too much risk for too little reward, as there are too many opportunities to break an extremely thin screen. That's why he'd be better off buying a I545 screen/midframe replacement and moving the innards to the new midframe.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yilun:
Or just change the digitizer.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prouder:
The screen and LCD on the AT&T is fully functioning so I don't have to peel off anything. I guess I'm stuck with a bootlocked S4

Thanks for the replies
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
That's just as bad, because you still have to heat the screen to loosen the optical adhesive bonding the digitizer to the screen. You also run the risk of cracking the screen when you try peeling parts of the digitizer off. Twist the tool you're using to pry the two apart just wrong and you'll kill the screen. You should search back about two months. There was a poster who had asked whether his screen could be saved, after he had tried peeling off the digitizer. Just from the picture I could see his screen was toast, and told him so.

He went and bought an assembled digitizer and midframe off ebay, transferred the sensors and boards to it and has a perfectly working S4. After seeing enough people on YouTube and here break their screens trying to go the cheap route, I know for a fact the cheap route is not the best route.

Anyone know of a Hardcase/ heavy duty case (kinda like Unicorn beetle Supcase/ otterbox) for G3s ??

Links would do some good :)
[XDA Assist] mocock:
After I had downloaded the 5.0.2 lolipop update for my sprint G2, I quickly began to hate it. battery died too fast, seemed slower, didn't like the look or really any thing on it. As a result i decided to root my phone and try to get back to android kit kat. After several hours of reading, and many trials and errors (most methods didn't work) I got it rooted through kingroot, as well implemented 2.8.6.1 TWRP recovery with autorec. After, I downloaded the cm11 rom and attempted to install it through the recovery (just as every single tutorial on the internet had done it) and all i got was. "error executing updater binary in zip." even after downloading other roms from different developers, none worked, and all got the same error. (and yes, I made sure all of the roms were compatible for my G2)

the only one that did work was cloudyg2, although I couldn't enable data even after spending 3 hours applying patches and trying other fixes. then I tried to install another TWRP version, but none will work, and subsequently end up giving me an error when I try to boot into recovery.

Overall, I would just like to know, what the heck is up with my phone, and why is nothing working, and maybe point me to a solution to reunite me with my beloved kit kat. doing this Would make me a very very happy android noob.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D33KK:
Hi all, after a long time I'm back!

I restored my phone to stock as I was on a version of crdroid which was well out of date.

So I have downloaded Sony Mobile Flasher, and have so far tried 4 different FTF files. They all flash correctly to the phone, however when I try to flash a custom recovery (I have tried dualrecovery, free xperia, CWM) it always gives me the logo of the custom flash I tried then bootloops.

I'm not sure if this is related but I've also tried rooting the phone via the stock rom. I have managed it successfully, somewhat. Some apps work with root, for example SuperSU appears when I use Root browser, asking whether I want to allow access or deny, however adaway, or Xposed can't install (presumably they can't make changes to system). Also busybox can't seem to install, even after granting it root permissions.

So the main problem I am facing at the moment is I can't seem to install a custom recovery without getting in constant bootloops, requiring flashing back to stock.

Cheers!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

It seems to me you are using an incompatible recovery with your current firmware. AFAIK Sony updated the bootloader firmware with the lollipop update, and it handles recovery differently than it did before.

Make sure you are running the right software as said on the recovery thread.

All the best,

~Lord

[ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini Questions & Answers] xaraney:
Dear XDA--Developers Team,

I just bought an Nubia Z9 Mini and wanted to install a custom rom with the google play store preinstalled. In the process I bricked my phone. I am really desperate here and I hope someone can help me.

What I did:

I am new to all of this, so I followed this tutorial:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix7rrKS4keI

and tried to install this rom:

http://www.needrom.com/download/nubia-z9-mini-rom/

Furthermore I used this to install TWRP:

http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/zte-nubia-z9-mini-one-click-root-custom-t3130631

After wiping my data I tried to install the new rom, but there was an error. After rebooting the phone (stupid I know) my phone does not boot up correctly anymore.

I can not access the recovery menu. My Computer still recognizes the device when I plug it in, but as 5 different CDs (8,4 MB, 13 GB, 268 MB, 1,6 GB and 67 MB).

On the 67 MB drive there is a folder called "Image". I attached a photo of said folder.

Please can anyone hint me in the correct direction as to what to do now? Any help appreciated.

EDIT

After a few times of trying to switch it on again it suddenly booted into TRWP recovery mode and i was able to install the rom like I originally wanted. No idea what was going on there, but now it works. :)
