    Try to reset by buttons, otherwise you will have to install a ROM with Odin, there are tutorials on the net and on the sammobile website.

    HELP! I tried to reset my Note like this:
    Settings → Backup and reset → Factory data reset → Reset device → Erase everything.
    But now, the phone restarts over and over again. Exit «Samsung GALAXY NOTE II. GT-NT7100” and turns off. Then it turns on again and the same thing comes out.
    I would like you to answer me as quickly as possible, I am very desperate.
