[Q] Bootloop official OTA - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I found a previous post that somebody is posting out and saying that they had the same problem for india devices.
I did an update from system ota and i got stucked in the bootloop, but it could proceed until Optimizing apps screen.
When the optimizing reach 2xx of 302 then it will reboot, after many tries of rebooting my phone, it is still stuck at the same place.
What should i do? I just went back from Hong Kong and all the photos are inside. I want to recover them.
Model- N910C Malaysia
Issues : Update from offical OTA lollipop
Tried:
-Wipe cache
-Reflash the same stock rom by using odin without wiping the data (from sammobile)
-Flashed back to the previous version of android (4.4.4)
-External SD card updating
-Did tried to apply adb update or pull the contents of the phone by selecting "apply update from adb", but i receive error from the adb.exe everytime i want to pull.

on my s5 wiping from recovery does not delete internal storage... however you can flash custom recovery and copy them to pc but be carefull as it trips KNox

I have the same exact problem,were you able to solve it?

Update failed n stuck at google logo

was on 4.3 JWR66Y with stock kernel, unlocked bootloader, rooted - super su, busybox & a Custom recovery i.e. TWRP.
with Few Mods i.e. 4 way reboot, battery circle & Custom softkeys.
my nexus 4 showed OTA 4.4 update notification, i followed process - it downloaded OTA & accepted "reboot to install", automatically restarted to twrp nothing happened further. so i did factory reset to try again but found out that the downloaded OTA file was gone! & it shown "no latest update" later i manually downloaded "KRT16S frm JWR66Y" zip (238.9 mb) frm google/android server & tried to flash using TWRP, well it aborted saying some error in the middle of flashing (flashing didnt complete). So i wiped cache, dalvik etc (excluding partition & internal storage) to try flashing the file again. Worst thing is the "reboot to system" says "there is no OS you still want to continue?" stuck at google logo. (did read somewhere to rename zip file to update.zip unfortunately it didnt work)
good thing is i still have access to fastboot/bootloader and of course TWRP
what are my options ? use NRT to go back to 4.3 stock everything & then try to update again?
Please help, thank you XDA..
(could not find any other similar thread i.e. rooted, twrp, unlocked bootloader, with few mods etc.)

If you have the zip you can sideload it. Or you can flash the factory images in fastboot mode. This is post here for the guides. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47762352&postcount=2

try booting your phone in stock recovery with pwr+up volume, then in recovery with the volume keys navigate to wipe data/factory reset and then wipe (or clear) cache, then reboot.

so i tried this it allowed me to get to the Samsung logo and this is where it has gotten
99% of the Odin problems are solved by using a different usb port and/or different usb cable.
Ps Did you use cf-auto root for rooting? That's the only rooting method that works. Because I never heared of cf auto-root causing those problems.

Well, you could try another solution that for others is risky but it's not, if you follow the steps carefully. Flash your correct firmware with odin 3.10 and check f reset time, auto reboot and Nand Erase All and Phone Bootloader Update. When flashing process is finished, the system will reboot to stock recovery and will appear an android repairing, after it it will reboot in Samsung startup but it will not boot, so you must boot to recovery with power+volup, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache again. Then reboot and wait, it may take up to five or six minutes approx.
i leave attached an odin version that is woking fine.
I hope it helps.
regards
* at last, maybe obvious, check that the firmware is appropiate for your phone e.g. if your firmware is i9505XXXXX and your phone is i9500 or any other it will never boot.

SM-910U Bootloop after rooting

Hi all,
Thanks in advance for your help on this.. I've been trying things for the past few hours to no avail..
I have a 910U from Hong Kong. It didn't officially receive the 5.1.1 update yet, so I flashed a stock New Zealand 5.1.1 ROM a few weeks ago. I stupidly tried to CF root today without realizing that it doesn't work with the 5.1.1 version.
My phone is now stuck in bootloop. It goes past the first boot screen and reboots after the second animated screen. I tried to flash the stock 5.0.1 Hong Kong rom but I'm getting a NAND write start then FAIL in Odin. Same result with the NZ version. Phone has been data wiped, cache wiped, dalvik wiped.
I have TWRP on the phone but I'm not sure what else to try at this point.
I can boot into download mode and TWRP.
Thanks!

Try to boot into TWRP and flash a custom rom.
After flash back the 5.1.1 rom if you can
I've been trying to push a ROM on to the internal storage via ADB since I don't have an external SD card. However, I didn't have debugging enabled prior to my bootloop and I can't seem to get my device to show online through fastboot.
I'll try to get an external SD but at the moment I'm unable to flash a ROM through TWRP because I don't have one on the internal storage.

If you try to go into mount and enable MTP it will not work for internal ?
Because mine sometime mount both sdcard & internal memory so try with this tip ?

N910G - Restarts at Samsung logo(Boot Loop) [wiped system partition]

Hi Geeks,
Let me explain the Root cause for this problem, I tried to Root my device with CF Auto root and it works fine without any issues, later i found sometimes my mobile hangs and restarts (once in a week very Rare).
Later I installed twrp recovery and accidentally wiped /system /internal /dalvik /cache everything (My foolish)
in No OS situation i tried to install Marshmallow 6.0.1 stock ROM .
after Odin finishes up its work, the mobile restarts for first time and gone through installing updates.... later few minutes No command robot is appearing.
when we restart the mobile it looping in boot screen(restarting at Samsung logo continuously)
changed battery and tried (No luck)
changed different recovery mode(No luck)
tried several times in the past week and went to Samsung service center they did the same thing what i did and informed to change the board which nearly cost 18K

You will have to flash the cf auto root file.
This will fix the bootloop issue.
If it still persists, then you will have to flash the full recovery firmware.
Let me know if you want the link.

First of all there is nothing wrong if you wipe everything and flash stock rom.
Now, if it is bootlooping, that means, the partitions aren't correct. Therefore if you flash cf auto root file, it will reset all partitions.
Just simply flash the cf auto root file via odin.

Tried flash CF auto root file via Odin... still same reboot issue and flashed again using stock ROM... same issue persists
[that is after odin flashed-> reboots entering recovery mode -> installing updates -> erasing -> installing app updates then reboots here (this happens while flashing stock rom)]

You can try this:
Flash your latest official rom via PC Odin with option Nand Erase All.
Upon booting, if not going to start-up log-in screen, remove and put back battery. Then go to stock Recovery and Wipe cache and Wipe data/factory reset.
Be patient and wait several minutes as the first boot usually takes a long time.
This should fix your problem.
This is unfair... Changed my battery.. Now it is working perfectly... How the hell firmware update damaging battery..??

cannot go back to stock firmware?

hi, Im actually on crdroid and I need to go back to stock samsung firmware
I downloaded G900FXXS1CPK1_G900FITV1CPJ1_G900FXXU1CPJ1_HOME.tar and I tried to flash using odin
stuck at SAMSUNG logo after rebooting (for a split of a second I can see a dead android with NO COMMAND written before SAMSUNG logo)
go back to recovery /(which is not TWRP anymore) and wiped data and cache. nothing has changed
I now have installed crdroid again but I need to go back to official samsung, somebody can help?
where did you get the tar file from? did it say completed in Odin?
from updato.com and odin sais PASS with green color
EDIT is there, maybe, a custom rom from original samung firmware?
wiping data and cache from recovery not enough, do a factory reset then if still a no go redo odin fw flash

a factory reset is just wiping system, cache and dalvik in essence. I always do a factory reset, wipe cacke, dalvik and system 3x each and delete the android folders if im just flashing a new ROM. Plus, hes doing an Odin flash, so wiping shouldnt be necessary, but deleting the android folders should still be needed

get it from sammobile.com/firmwares. Thats the only real place to get them. everywhere else can have untrusted files
odin does not wipe/reset
in stock recovery iirc theres no wiping data, so reset needs to be done, its solved many fw updates/downgrades issues via either ota or odin.
i usually wipe everything(Dalvik, System, Data, Cache) via twrp b4 flashing w/odin
while I'm downloading from sammobile (sloooooooooow), I'm tring to flash fw again
I'm still getting SAMSUNG logo problem...
tried wiping again cache... nothing
flashed TWRP and did wipe factory reset... again, same issue.
I did a full wipe before flash

the sammobile d/l does take FOREVAAAAR!!! but wait for that to complete and try it. im betting that your other tar.md5 was corrupt
15 minutes to go....
steps I did:
1: via TWRP wiped EVERYTHING
2: connected to PC in download mode and flashed the firmware via ODIN 3.12
3: booted in recovery and wiped data/factory reset and cache partition
4: reboot and...... seems to work fine (feared for a moment, took almost 20 minutes to start apps optimization)
