Weird problem with my note5 please help me understand - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So recently i bought note 5 N920T T-mobile variant and after few days i encounter a weird problem that i can't figure out what exactly is going on.
Once a sudden my phone freeze and touch screen stop responding then phone goes black screen and a strong white led light turn on while screen is black.
Then after pressing 3button together volume down+home+power the phone reboot normally
Then after few seconds again and again same thing happens.
I was on stock rooted 6.0.1 marshmallow rom with arter kernel permissive since i bought this device.
Things i tried
Factory reset from twrp (didn't change a thing)
I flashed stock rom marshmallow and nougat both via odin (got worse now more freezing and rebooting can't even complete setup )
Again tried flashing 4 files recovery firmware BL+AP+CP+CSC via odin this time with PIT FILE re-partition checked in odin. everything Pass smoothly without errors in odin but again freezing black screen on setup. (same issue)
Tried factory reset+wipe cache after flashing (still same)
At last i tried flashing custom rom "kongloi s8 port final repacked" from twrp after clean wipe it worked finally now no reboots or blackscreen freezing nothing everything works perfect for 2 days.
Then i thought now my phone is fixed so why not try stock again.then again same problem came back.
1 thing i realize that when i run custom kernel specifically a permissive kernel my phone runs without issues.
currently stuck with khongloi rom s8 port this is the only rom working on.my device and cant go back to marshmallow.
I am looking on Google and xda constantly from many days but can't find correct answer.
So please please someone point me out what is this issue
Sorry for the long post TIA

[Q] Phone working but no display after flashing new rom

I was using JB 4.1.1 previously and decided to flash to a new 4.1.2 rom this morning. Everything was fine until the Samsung animation screen. There is no display. My screen is completely dark. But the phone responds when I touch the screen and the home button as well as the power button.
I thought this is the LCD problem but when I boot to Recovery, the display turns on and everything is fine. So I decided to flash to another rom but the same problem occurs. Did I brick my phone? Any solution guys? Some help would be very much appreciated.

Try to do checksum on the ROM zip file you flashed, if it was correct.. then try to do a fresh new flash of the ROM:
1- Make sure you're on a safe kernel .. if not, please flash a safe kernel (I prefer Abyss GB Kernel)
2- flash the file in the attachments
3- flash your ROM file
my xt890 lcd screen and digitizer were broken so i changed them and the phone was working fine for a week, i then wanted to update to kitkat through oem update; everytime i tried it would give me error . i then read that since i unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery i couldnt do an oem update and i had to do a factory reset in order to update through oem, so i did just that ; after the phone finished factory reset and booted i proceeded with oem update while the phone was charging, everything was going fine the file was downloading, i went to the bathroom and came back the display was black, but touch screen was working fine...through more searching i read that this could be from the update, and i should do another reset... since i couldnt see anything even recovery menu. i downloaded moborobo so i can see my screen on pc and proceeded to factory reset ... now i cant even see through moborobo and im stuck. i think im stuck in recovery screen, but no way to be sure , hence i cant get usb debug.Please help.

[Q] Note randomly turns off and gets stuck in bootloop.

I've had my Note for around a month now, and I'm having an issue where the phone will shut itself down at a random time.
If you try to turn the phone on, it'll get stuck on the Galaxy Note N7000 splashscreen. Occasionally if I go into recovery
and select Reboot Phone Now it'll boot properly, but very rarely does it work. I've also tried leaving it on the splashscreen
and coming back an hour later and it will be fine again. It happened twice yesterday and once today.
If I can't get it to boot, the only thing I can do is restore a CWM backup, but doing that multiple times a day is very frustrating.
I'm running a stock XXLSA deodexed and rooted ROM. I've also tried a stock XXLSA non-deodexed and unrooted ROM with the
same issue. The phone was working fine on ICS 4.0.4, but I really need the use of MultiWindow so downgrading is not an option.
I'm using Philz Kernel 3.99.
Any ideas?

That's a common issue with the JB leaks. You have the following options:
- Do a nand backup, do a full wipe, format cache, system and preload, restore your nand backup (might work)
- Do a full wipe, format cache, system and preload, reflash the rom (works always)
Even if you manage to fix it, be prepared that the problem will occur again. For me it was always the same, I flashed the rom, it worked for several days, suddenly it got stuck at the boot logo, I fixed it, after several days the bootloop reoccured.... Eventually I decided to flash a stock ICS rom in order the get a stable device.

[Q] can't modify anything on device

hello everyone, this thread might seem like a repost to some of you, but since the answer has yet to be found on the other thread, might as well try asking about it myself
so i've got a galaxy s3 mini (the i8190 version, not the l or the n) it's in stock 4.1.2 international version. yesterday, out of nowhere the phone just keeps on rebooting after a few minutes of booting up ( it got to the lockscreen and home screen just fine, but it keeps rebooting after that). and i think, well might as well just flash something on top of this stock rom so i decided to get the cm11 from novafusion, along with odin and tried to flash it. it all goes well in odin, no problem at all (odin flashes green passed sign).
but the strange thing is, when the phone rebooted, it goes back to the stock rom, with all the apps intact and with stock recovery. so far, i've been trying to flash almost everything into this phone via odin and odin always says it succeeded but nevertheless, everything stays the same, i've tried flashing some custom roms, custom recoveries but it doesn't seem to work. and the flash counter never goes up, it still says "custom binary download : no"
i've also tried to go to stock recovery and tried to wipe data / factory reset the phone which it said it has done successfully but when i booted in, nothing changed. i'm still logged on as my account with all the apps and files intact.
this problem has also been asked here but no definitive answer seems to have surfaced there.
please, any help would be appreciated

SM-N910T converted in a paper holder (hard bricked)

Hello there:
I used to be a happy SM-N910T user until something went wrong and the device got hard bricked. Does not turn on, doesn't get into recovery mode neither download mode. It had DOK2 rooted, but started to restart by itself and then I tried to flash another ROM, I chose DOK2 N5 by RMarinella. Worked fine for a couple of days but then started again to suddenly restart more often in a daily basis. I tried last night to flash again the same ROM and after Odin when it was supposed to get into recovery ............... nothing happened. Now I have an expensive paper holder.
I have been reading about how to solve this situation but didn't find anything. Any help/guidance or prayer?

Wait, did you try and use Odin to flash rmarinellas rom the second time around or were you going back to stock DOK2 ? Recovery for flashing custom roms, Odin for stock firmware and custom recovery installation.
I tried to re-flash rmarinellas ROM, I used Odin to flash the stock ROM and then I was supposed to flash the N5 Express 3.4D from recovery. Between those two steps the nightmare started. I am not saying that rmarinellas ROM is not working or was responsible for this malfunction. My Note 4 was acting weird lately, freezing and restarting randomly and I thought I did something wrong the first time I used rmarinellas ROM and that is why I tried to re-do the whole process again.

galaxy note 4 (sm-n910t) caught in boot loop and won't enter to recovery.pls help

my galaxy note 4 (sm-n910t) caught in bootloop . i dont know what caused it. the phone simply restarts upto first bootscreen, ie upto 'samsung galaxy note 4' and then vibrates and then restarts.this process continues upto battery is down or i pull out battery.the phone is not entering to recovery mode but enters to download mode.
i have tried installing stock rom from sammobiles but it won't help.i have also installed custom recovery twrp but that also won't help to enter to recovery mode,
i am trapped pls help..
You didn't mention how you tried to install the stock ROM . Did you use Odin?
I just fixed mine with the same issue. I was able to boot into recovery and download mode but mostly download mode without bootloop when I had the usb cable plugged in. I used ADB when I could to boot into download mode, but the buttons worked too. Trying to restart the phone only lopped after the Google screen.
I followed several guides here to flash stock with Odin and wipe cache etc but none solved my boot loop issue. almost gave up but there is a video on You Tube that said the battery warping in the cause of the boot loop. The battery, after/during quick charge, may heat up and change shape causing the issue. Today I installed my new battery purchased on amazon and no more issues.
Now I am on stock and have to find a good rom.
If you do decide to flash back to stock there are a lot of good guides. You may find yourself stuck on the T-mobile screen for 15 minutes when booting for the first time but that is ok. If you still boot loop after installing stock and wiping cache I would try the battery.

hi OP,
did you find any solution to your problem?
Hello all. I'm also pasting this in the T-mobile thread in case it can be of benefit to someone. This is advice to use as a very last resort if you are experiencing the recovery bootloop issue AND you don't have the emmc failure bug. I had the recovery reboot, sudden shutdown with no warning, etc. issue for the past two weeks. I tried everything on Google and Youtube to fix my problem with no success. I flashed multiple stock ROMS and recovery tars (stock and TWRP) via ODIN, but nothing worked. Oddly enough, I never received the emmc error that I have read about. Also, in the few times that my phone booted normally, I even loaded the Wakelock Power Manager app, set it to partial wakelock and my phone STILL continued to bootloop. As a last resort, I bought a new battery, but the reboot problems continued in Android 4.4.4 Kitkat, 6.0 Marshmallow, 7.1 Nougat and 8.1 Oreo ROMS. Well, here is what finally helped me to get my phone back operational. I had a backup ROM from a previous install and a TWRP flashable version of the same ROM on my SD card (in case the phone did not stay on for the full restore). I put the phone into a ziplock bag into a freezer for about 20 min. (thankfully this time TWRP stayed on long enough for me to do the following):
1) copy all the files I wanted to save from internal storage to a computer.
2) performed a full wipe (Dalvic, Cache, System, etc. Like when flashing a ROM, but this time also internal storage. Note: Please do not wipe both internal and SD card, as you may have a difficult time trying to load the ROM file back on the sd card (assuming you don't have a card reader).
3) After wiping, I was able to restore my stock ROM backup (or you can just flash the stock ROM).
I can't be 100% sure, but I think my wiping internal and then flashing the stock ROM finally did the trick. Since this morning, the phone has been pretty much back to as it was before. In either case, I'm sharing this with the hope that it helps someone else.
