[Q] UnNamed ROM Install Fail

Hey all, I just want to say thanks in advance for any/all help!
I'm trying to install the UnNamed v2.0.1 ROM on my E4GT and it's not going so well.
I've rooted and installed CWM, installed the CRT screen off animation mod (just to check if things are working), done a Titanium Back-up, and even installed Calkulin's E4GT v2.8 ROM, but for some reason this ROM refuses to cooperate.
I rooted and installed CWM per these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
I have gotten the same problem at least half a dozen times, once I hit "Reboot" from CWM after successfully installing the ROM, my phone stays stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S II" boot up screen indefinitely.
I've tried to install from the stock EK02 ROM to the UnNamed ROM, used Rogue's Recovery (v1.1.1 if i'm not mistaken) to try to install it, and finally install it over Calkulin's ROM, all to no avail. I can recover using ODIN, but that's all that works, I can't even get to the CWM screen after I reboot my phone.
Like I said, any and all help would be appreciated! Thanks!!
P.S. I downloaded the ROM twice just in case something went wrong, still nothing.
EDIT: I've just installed the Starburst ROM over my stock EK02 without a problem, but the UnNamed ROM still fails.
Download Calk's Format_All.zip from his ROM thread. Run it 2x before installing UnNamed. I always install my kernel directly after UnNamed, before rebooting - I use EL29 by Team Rogue.
I noticed that it doesn't wipe the Dalvik Cache. Should I do that separately or leave it be?
Thanks for the help! I'll try it right now and let you know how it works

Go ahead and wipe that too. I usually wipe data & Dalvik manually, then format all zip, then install rom + kernel. Then reboot

This is a good method to use. Good luck buddy.
Running EK02 I rooted, installed CWM for EK02, went into CWM v 5.0.2.7, installed the EL29 modem and kernel, rebooted, went back into CWM, wiped data, wiped dalvik, ran Format_ALL 2x, installed unnamed, and STILL get stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S II" screen. WTF?
EDIT: Reading Comprehension FAIL. Let me do it again with the kernel after unnamed.
After I try and install the EL29 rogue kernel after installing the ROM I get the error:
file_getprop: failed o stat "/system/build.prop": No such file name or directory
E:Error in /emmc/Rogue_ET-Stock-1.1.4.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Here is an md5 checksum of the ROM I'm using, if that could help.

You tried to install the kernel directly after the ROM? Not before?
If so, reboot into the ROM and let it sit. Then reboot into recovery and install.
If that doesn't work, try rebooting into recovery directly after the ROM install.
Yup, still got the same problem.
If I reboot, I get stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S II" screen indefinitely. I can't get into recovery or anything else, I have to use ODIN.
Here's what I'm going to do to try and flash it again, step by step, let me know if anything is wrong.
1.) Flash EK02 using ODIN (after getting stuck)
2.) Root using sfhub's method
3.) REBOOT to home screen
4.) Install BootIMG + CWM for EK02 (v5.0.2.7)
5.) REBOOT to home screen
6.) REBOOT to CWM
7.) Recover to my nandroid backup
8.) REBOOT to home screen
9.) REBOOT to CWM
10.) Wipe data/factory reset
11.) Wipe Dalvik cache
12.) Install Calkulin's FLASH ALL, twice
13.) Install UnNamed's v2.0.1 ROM
14.) Install Rogue's v1.3 Kernel
15.) REBOOT to home screen.
How's that?

Just use sfhub's auto root to root and install CWM. After CWM installs reboot the phone. Then, reboot to recovery, wipe, and install UnNamed + kernel of your choice.
Good luck
Finally installed! Idk what happened differently, but it worked! Thanks!!

Nice! Welcome to the UnNamed community
Thanks for the welcome, but I spoke too soon -_- It got past the "Samsung Galaxy S II" boot screen and played through the ICS animation, but now it's stuck on a black screen. I can't get to the home screen. Agh! I can get to CWM, but it won't get to the home screen, no matter how long I wait.

did you remove anything from the rom. It sounds like it does not have a home launcher chosen.

I'm running out of ideas... maybe reflash the ROM without wiping.
I'll try that next.
I've been attempting to install from the internal SD card if that's of any help. I just got a microSD card that I'll be attempting to install from soon.

Shouldn't be an issue
Was looking to make a new thread but I'll jump in for a noob question....
Right now, I'm running Calk's v.2.8.1 rom with Rogue Kernel 1.3 and modem el29. theme is team venum ICS..
If I were to stay with the exact same set up as above, except put UnNamed ROM, would it function correctly?

Have you tried going through recovery and wiping everything (system, cache, dalvik) and reflashing Rom?

USB Debugging not accessible

Hi
I was flashing back to Stock from task650 to fix my gps. Well something blew up and when the phone reboots the screen goes black but I hear the AT&T start-up tune. Essentially I can't get to enable USB debugging to reflash. I can get to download or recovery, but there are no files to recover<?> and busybox never got installed.
What do I do now?
Do you have the stock recovery now? If so, try going in there and resetting to defaults. That helps sometimes.
Otherwise, you may need to Odin back to stock if you still want to go stock.

Yes I have stock recovery. Odin is of no use because it hangs waiting for the USB debug to respond. And i can't turn it on because the screen is black and I can't navigate
Do you have a micro sd card? If so, throw a rom on there. If you want to go back to stock, there' a flashable stock zip at the bottom of post #2 in the link in my signature. Under the emergency toolkit section. Flash that, turn on use debugging, do your gps fix and continue on with the task release

Thanks. I created an emergency tool kit on an SD, I wiped data, wiped cache and Davlik and formated system. Flashed the stock rom. When I rebooted it now hung at the Samsung Galaxy S III screen.
How do I get out of this mess?

I've wiped data and cache several times, and format/system. I've even tried to flash CWM 6.0.3.1 and I get a status 7 error. Nothing is taking.I get signature failures.
I re downloaded all the files figuring they were corrupted. Nothing doing. I need some real help, because this is beyond my abilities to figure out.,
Now I've got a red triangle showing up in recovery.

i dont know why some of these things are not working correctly for you. you're seeing the red triangle because you have stock recovery now from the stock firmware zip. you cannot flash anything in stock recovery nor can you format /system. what happens when you boot up after a factory reset and cache wipe?
a couple of your options include either using odin to flash the stock firmware back onto your device or to use odin to flash a custom recovery back and make a move from there.

When it rains it pours. Now I can't get into recovery. I get the empty battery graphic cycling on and off, and its very warm to the touch. I think the battery is not charging.
I tried using Odin and flashed a stock rom but I kept getting verification errors and status 7 errors. Things just are not taking. I fear I've got a hard brick and I don't know what to do to fix it.
I appreciate your help
aaaaand let the questions roll:
you got verification errors in odin? and after flashing the firmware, i'm assuming you then flashed cwm and that's where you were getting the status 7 errors?
at what point did it all go off? i need to know what order you did all of these things.
can you still get into download mode?

No, it won't go into download. I initially flashed stock rom, but I don't think I wiped anything. That was probably the big mistake. I used something called Samsung S3 QCom tool kit to do an initial flash. It never failed me before. And I also flashed a CWM.
I followed your advice and made a emergency SD kit and flashed from there. I did a clean flash several times. Things just never worked and I kept getting those error messages. Then it just got more difficult to get into download. Now it just flashes a drained battery
it might indeed be drained. leave it plugged in for a while and report back.
you were getting the error/status 7 messages after you flashed cwm back on it likely because the cwm wasnt up-to-date.
what was the last thing you tried before it stopped working altogether?
It gets really hot if I leave it plugged in. But it seems like I can get into recovery again. The last thing I flashed was CMW 6.0.3.1. But what is on it now is CMW 5.5.0.4
actually, what you're saying is the last thing you flashed was cwm 5.5.0.4, just via odin not cwm.
if the phone was in my hands, i would:
flash the cwm 6.0.3.1 zip, select advanced and reboot recovery. now you will be in the updated cwm recovery.
perform a full wipe: wipe data, cache, dalvik, format /system, format /data
flash rom and gapps. if you're going to stick with tasks, use the 4/23 release. i'm on that with no feature or stability issues.
wipe data, wipe cache, reboot.
give it a few minutes to boot up.

I tried editing the updater-script but I couldn't getit to save the changes properly.
Well I will now re flash the RM and CWM and hope for the best

It's because you formatted your system and it has nothing to boot into now. A factory data reset should fix it.

If you have a cwm/twrp flashable rom on your internal/external sdcard or if you have
a nandroid back and if you still have access to get into CWM/TWRP recovery then
why not simply restore a backup or flash a rom?
If you don't have any backups or cwm/twrp flashable zip file roms in your phone
then simply remove the external sdcard and put it into an adaptor and plug it into
your computer, download a cwm/twrp flashable rom and copy it to the sdcard.
Then put the sdcard back in the phone, go into cwm/twrp recovery and flash it.
If you cannot get into cwm/twrp recovery for some god knows what reason you will need
to Odin flash the stock rom in download mode to get the phone running properly again.
Good luck with it!

Trying that as i type. Performed a wipe and reboot'd to DL mode for a stock odin flash. Not optimistic though
any reason why this WOULDNT work?
EDIT: No luck. Went past the samsung screen initially to android stock recovery to finish flash...once it rebooted back to stuck at samsung screen!
EDIT: SOLVED. checked Phone EFS Clear in ODIN...then flash stock. BREEZE

Bootlooping

Hi, phones been running great until yesterday when it started telling me the disk space was nearly full(via es filee xplorer). It then turned off a few times and i turned it on again. The phone would shut off if I tried to do anything like launch the camera app. It now bootloops when i try to turn it on.
I have tried wiping dalvic cache, factory reset, recover from a recovery point i made when i installed the cm13 rom and reinstalling the custom rom like I did the first time using twrp.
The phone did once go into a boot animation of the old boot screen(02 animation), another time it started the miui boot logo but went back to the normal samsung galaxy note 2 boot loop where its stuck at now.
Any suggestions on how i could get it running again? Thanks!

Search for efs.tar file on the internet for n7100, flash it via Odin then wipe data, cache and davlik cache.

Thanks. Any instructions /tutorials on how to flash an efs file?
Is it the same procedure as flashing a stock ROM using Odin?

It should use the same procedure as flash stock ROM. I'm not sure because the last time I did it was some years ago.
I have found another way, it'sā€‹ a bit hard, but safer

Gave it a read. Phones not entering recovery mode anymore so not sure I can proceed. Maybe try flashing stock ROM again.
