[Q] I need all the help i can get !! Soft-Bricked Note 2 stuck Bootloop - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so i will try and explain step by step what is the matter here.... Since i have been trying to fix my Note 2 since 2 weeks now and i got nowhere.
I was running 4.4.2 and i had TWRP on it but it wasnt Rooted. (Bought it like that) Had some custom Rom on it etc...
Used it for 2 months with no problems whatsoever,decided to root and went on installing AGNI Kernel for better audio (Eargasm ON). Everything worked as a dream for 4-5 days...was enjoying the crazy sound. Till one morning i woke up,received a call and i had to swap my sim cards,after i did this i had Emergency calls only on screen. BAFFLED !! Went on factory restoring the phone,still Emergency calls only on screen. JUST LIKE THAT !! All of a sudden,with no reason at all !! o.0
Anyway,after that i tried again factory restore and wipe cache and something else from TWRP i think it was a FULL DELETE or something like that,including System and all... so i can install a new fresh ROM on it (As i thought it`s the ROM). Well that didnt went well for me,as the phone got stuck into Samsung bootloop. AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN !!!
I gave up on TWRP and connected it to the laptop so i can use ODIN and flash stock ROM. Worked !! It went pass the Samsung boot,i set it up,still had the same `Emergency calls only` error,BUT THEN as soon as i unplugged my usb cable from it,BOOM !! Phone restarts itself,and gets stuck on Samsung boot. I connected the charger,works fine. Stays in menu,apps work,etc. As soon as i unplug the charger or the usb cable,it kept on restarting itself and going into Samsung Bootloop.
Went on different threads,tried a lot of ROMS and Kernels,nothing worked,so i gave up and BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY.
With the new battery,phone worked ok,no more bootloops,but still the same `Emergency calls only` issue.
Tried installing the modem fix with twrp,phone got stuck on samsung boot,tried installing nb4_N7100_Patched Modem_CWM with philz_touch_6.46.3-n7100 phone got stuck on samsung boot.
Then tried installing back the Android that Worked as a dream before (TWRP-Android Revolution HD) but this time i had the philz CWM and guess what,whatever Rom i install with philz,the same Samsung boot comes on.
Right now i tried installing Phoenix ROM,got stuck on bootloop,then cleaned the WHOLE DEVICE by a MEGA WIPE with Zoot's-Wipe-Scripts_SGS_N-II then tried installing again Phoenix Rom with philz,phone still NOPE,stuck on Samsung bootloop.
I am dead !! Please somebody give me some hope here,as i am dying.
I will put back TWRP now,and install again the only ROM that worked for me that is Android Revolution HD and stay with the bloody Emergency Calls Only on screen till somebody will be able to help me out here.... Please guys... i dont know what to do anymore,i am actually loosing my hope,it`s been 2 weeks since i am REALLY REALLY trying to get it back working....i feel i am growing white hair !!

CWM Recover help

I have a serious problem. I have a Samsung Galaxy s II Tmobile for about a year now I have had it rooted since day one with not one problem with it. I mostly have had installed custom roms is all. I Just recently updated to CM10.1 nightlys with no trouble. I thought I would update the custom recovery since its been a while I went from 5.0.2.7 and updated to 6.0.2.8 and this is where everything went wrong. my phone went into a bootloop at first wouldn't load at all I went into recovery restored to a cm 10 which was working before which now is doing a boot loop. and i restored back to 2.3.5 rooted and that worked. but with some serious problems. I can't download anything like from the web or play store at all I keep getting this error code 492. I was thinking ok well I'll just put a fresh copy of cm10.1 back on the phone flashing it through recovery and nothing it froze. I played around with this new recovery and found out that I can't install anything through recovery can't fix permissions won't format won't wipe cache or factory reset and it won't even reboot the phone the only thing i got it to do was restore to 2.3.5. well I thought ok well I'll just start over again by unrooting the phone and start at square one again. no problem as the phone isn't bricked but when I hooked it to the computer now its not recognizing it. it comes up as unknown device which worked yesterday and never had a problem before i tried uninstalling drivers off my computer reinstalling them to no success. however I thought If I somehow get rom manager back on the phone i can reinstall 5.0.2.7 back on which i did come up with the idea to use kies air for that which did work. but I couldn't get back to 5.0.2.7 by doing that does anybody have any suggestions that can help me out my phone is working i can do everything that it is suppose to do make call connect to the mobile web, wifi but i want back on my custom rom can anybody help thanks

(HELP) Possible soft brick

Okay here is the problem guys. I have my note three for three weeks now. Rooted it day one. But It seems with every phone I have addiction with flashing roms. I change around a lot. I have owned four devices this year. S4, note 3, nexus 4 and galaxy nexus. Rooted every device never had an issue that couldn't be fixed by flashing the stock tar via odin. The other day I flashed compulsion kernel and put me in a boot loop. So I did the natural thing and download the stock tar and flash via odin. First time was a bust. It said it was successful. Still put me in boot loop so I downloaded the stock tar from another location and tried again. Still no dice and still have boot loop. Tried flashing a custom rom after flashing the stock tar. Nothing still boot loop and I've also tried different recoveries and still nothing. I know its not hard bricked because I can still boot into recovery. I am actually a sales rep at a corporate tmobile store and did a warrarnty exchange and they are overnighting me another note three and I am going to send this one back. Little concerned as to having the rooted status on the device is going to go over. A couple times after I flashed the stock tar I got it to boot but then it would say "process system stopped responding wait or ok" then after clicked okay it reboots. I really hope there is someone out there with a solution.
HELP

Sorry for my english Im learning
This is Cornell Sander's revenge.
You went from bad to worst.
Flash stock firmware again and when Odin shows finish don't let phone reboot, remove battery, insert battery do not reboot yet, go right to download mode and flash again.
This should work.

Soft brick Gnote 3 Neo???

Hi,
a friend of mine had an issue with his Gnote 3 Neo (N7505XEF). Restart again and again and again.
I saw it and I said that I was able to fix it.
Went to recovery, wipe data/cache.
Reboot, and phone starts an update of sytem.
Before the end, bootloop on "galaxy note 3 lite" screen. Noway to have "samsung" bootanimation.
I ask him if he had installed an app recently. No for 4/5 days, and no issue since.
An OTA came sometimes ago and no issue with it.
So, I took his phone and expect to flash a stock firmware with odin. That what I've done with latest french firmware (5.1.1)
Reboot and.... bootloop
Sometimes, bootanimation "samsung" appears but doesn't go to the end of process, and restart the phone in "galaxy note 3 lite".
I wiped everything, test some others firmwares from 4.4.2 to 5.1.1.
I can always enter recovery and download mode, but the issue is usually the same, bootanimation doesn't finish.
I search everywhere but found nothing.
I remember with my old Gnote 2 that I had to install stock recovery once to solve a starting problem, but here, I can enter recovery, so I don't think that it is the same error.
Perhaps a kernel issue? I don't know, and I can't find them on the web!!
The phone has always been full stock, with no tweaks (root, custom recovery or rom....) The issue arrives without any signs. Hardware problem? Perhaps, but never been drown or wet....
What do you think I can do to solve this? Cause at the moment, I don't see haw I can!!
Thanks for all.

Excuse my bad english.
Keep trying and making a factory reset could help after installing a new rom. But I can't see more things.
Excuse my english, I'm french

HELP PLEASE.Is there a way to flash or root AT&T Note 5,stuck in boot loop mode???

HELP PLEASE.Is there a way to flash or root AT&T Note 5,stuck in boot loop mode???
Hi to all
I'm member on XDA for a long time,but I really am a newbie considering rooting,flashing and messing with the phones.
Yesterday ,my At&t Samsung galaxy NOTE 5 restarted by itself and started doing that constantly.Maybe because the memory was almost full so the firmware didn't have enough space to run correctly ,I don't really know.
So I decided to do a FACTORY RESET in order to refresh the phone.I backed all up (it did restart few time while I did that but I managed to finish it).
After I did the factory reset and wiped the cache,I rebooted the phone and that is when the boot loop started.
Once or three times came back and started the phone up to the first settings (I managed to put in my google username e.t.c. but after a minute maybe it freezes and restarted by itself again)
I tried again another factory reset but the boot loop continues.I tried many time to turn it off,it restarted up to INSTALLING UPDATE......then tried to turn it off completely (Volume down+Power+Home button) and somehow I managed to turn it off.
I thought that I can come here and find the instructions on how to FLASH it with ODIN,but I couldn't find the stock firmware for AT&t Note 5.
Then I remembered (and read on internet) that the bootloader on AT&T phones is locked !!!!!
I searched some threads here for at least how to root it ,but I can't find anything clearly.
So I'm asking you for help: IS THERE ANY SAFE WAY THAT I CAN DO FLASH OR ROOT MY AT&T SAMSUNG NOTE 5 (EXPLAINED STEP BY STEP) IN ORDER TO MAKE MY PHONE WORK AGAIN????
I have never before messed with the phone.It has the original stock firmware Android 7.0 Nougat.
And the phone is bought in USA,but I live in EUROPE and have unlocked it ,by buying some code online, few years ago.It was working fine until yesterday.
Thank you in advance guys I hope that someone might help me.

Guys I found here some older version (few months older) of Android 7 for my Note 5 and I managed to do a flash. The flashing went OK I went through settings and after few minutes the phone freezes again and restarts. And then again the same,it works fine for a few minutes,freezes and restarts (I can here the camera working inside sometimes too)...........CAN ANYONE HELP ME REPAIR MY PHONE ,PLEASE ???
Hi again
I don't know why no one is replying to me???
Today I managed to make the settings and power up the phone,restored the back up....the phone is working,BUT the PROBLEM is that it constantly freezes and reboots by itself.Sometimes it works for few minutes and reboots,sometimes it works for 30min and then it reboots,sometimes longer...
What might be the problem? Is it some hardware problem processor ,memory or maybe bad battery? It is older model and I have noticed with Accu Battery that most likely the battery haslowered it's capacity.It drains faster,sometimes when it comes to 15% it drains very fast...
Can anyone help me diagnose the problem?
Thank you in advance
Try booting into Download Mode & flash a new stock firmware if all else fails, assuming u tried a factory reset first with no satisfaction. Guides are everywhere. I HTH

Thank you for your reply
I managed to flash the firmware few times,but the phone keeps freezing after some time and restarts.Sometimes it is stuck in the bootloop,sometimes it starts up to some point,freezes and restarts.
Could it be BAD BATTERY or is it something else?
If it is the battery problem,I will replace it,but I'm afraid that it might be someting else wrong.
What is your opinion?
