Hello,
i just installed the Jedi Mind Trick 9 on 989 and going thru the configs.
The keys on the bottom of the phone are dying after some time and i can't perform any actions. I already rebooted 3 times and it's a consistent behavior.... What is a possible issue here?
IT seems that they become unresponsive after some time of inactivity - 3-5 minutes (?)

Could be a bad flash or download. Do the md5's match up? And did you full wipe vefore and wipe cache an dalvik afterwards?

md5 matches.
full wipe performed as :
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Format /system
still the same....
I switched to TWRP2 ( 2.3.0.0). and proceeded with the steps in the installation - the last " fix permissions" fails with message :
"Can't check permissions after factory reset.
Please boot rom and try again after reboot into recovery"
Attempts to boot give me boot loop....
after 3 reboots it somehow managed to boot... wow %) let's see what will fail this time...
Looks like life is improving rapidly - keys are staying lit, reboot is working....
I switched to TWRP and tried flashing some roms and it caused a bunch of weird issues....i would suggest you go back to CWM and use darkside scripts and reflash. I am using JMT9 and everything is working great!!!!

interesting. For me it seems to be the TWRP2 that allowed me to get the phone to work. I'm not touching this phone for at least a few months Or maybe if Jediv10 will have an awesome battery life. current one (9) is seemed to be draining it on the screen... I can almost see the indicator going down if i don't use the "energy safe" option...
I'm on stocked JB 4.1 with root active. I had installed some apps, like app2sd, busybox and airdroid. Just after this I did a reboot into recovery then
1) clear cache
2) clear daviak cache,
3) clear battery stats
4) fix permissions
5) reboot into system.
Just after following the above process my note 2 keeps on rebooting from Samsung N7100 boot logo to homescreen for (2 sec) and then again reboot.
I can't find a way to understand what went wrong please someone help me.
Go to download mode and flash rom again is the only way

happened to me couple of times. just took out the battery, and clipped it back again. i'm running on stock rom and no tweaks; first encountered after updating with multitasking.
for peace of mind, flash the rom and it should fix the problem. :victory:
@carlo I already tried that and which didn't work.
Later that day I did a nandroid backup and then restored to factory reset, and later recovered specific data with TB. I have used S2 and SNexus in the past and never is that such a thing happened forget Stock not even with Custom Roms.
Though I still wish to know what is triggering it to go into such kind of limitless Loop anyone?
when you restored to factory reset, did you still experience the loops? if so, might be time to take it to warranty and them check your unit.
but if doesn't, say a day of use, and no issues, then it could be triggered by something in your backed up tweaks and apps which you can just experiment on to ID what could be causing the issue.
*a friend however had similar issues like yours, but after a day or so of tinkering with his note2, we found out that it was his cheap TPU case that was causing the problem. it was a bit too tight! there were no cutouts for his volume and power buttons, so somehow the grip he has on the unit triggers the unit go wacko.
strange but true. no more issues with his note on capdase case with no changes on software and settings.
hope you get your issues figured out soon.
cheers!
@carlo: as soon as I did factory reset everything is well, no more boot loops.
I'm not using any case anyway. But I think it's because of davik cache. I'm not gonna do that again :-[

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 stuck in boot loop

After playing with the Cyanogenmod 10 nightly, I was missing some of the Samsung Stock items so went to the Jellybean 4.1.2 Stock ROM for my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (n7100) via ODIN. As I rebooted I had a panic moment because it kept looping between the Samsung Logo and a floating purple blob. So I tried going back into the Clockword MOD option (Power / Home / PowerUp) and ran a the System Clean / Factory reset. Devices then booted just fine.
I'd like to start by apologizing for what is probably the 9,000th "help, I've bricked my phone!" thread. I did some searching, and while I found many, I wasn't able to find one that both dealt with my specific issue, and did so assuming a level of newbishness appropriate for me.
Months ago, I rooted my AT&T Galaxy SIII, and installed CM10. It's been all candy and rainbows since. This morning, I somewhat foolishly decided to update from a nightly I installed in October/November, to the January 7 CM 10.1 nightly, using the built-in updater I had previously used to switch to a nightly.
It worked...sort of. I guess I should have cleared my cache or something ahead of time, because almost all of my GAPPS stopped working. Woops! Figuring that I should probably stop dicking around with my phone until I learned a bit more, I just went back and told the phone to switch back to the nightly I from October/November that I was previously using.
It didn't work. My phone now reaches the CM boot animation and just...sits there. And sits there. And sits there. To complicate the issue, I cannot get the phone to boot into recovery mode (although admittedly, I'm too thick to know what I'm meant to do once I'm there anyway). I CAN get the phone into download mode, but not being sure what I should do there, I thought it best to consult you all on what to do next.
I'm happy to give any additional information needed, and I hope it goes without saying that I am extremely thankful for any help you all can offer.
Try to get it back into recovery by taking the battery out, putting it back in and then holding volume up, home, and power. If you are sure you can't get it into Recovery, but know for sure you can get it into Download, go into Download and flash stock and go from there. These aren't bricks. These are just whoops. Lol.
If you can reach download mode, you'll be okay. What you want to do is use Odin to flash a rooted stock image; from there, you should be able to get back to a point where you can re-install a custom recovery of your choice and try flashing your favourite ROM again.
For the record, it's always a good idea to clear data/cache when changing ROMs, or changing between major revisions of a ROM (such as CM10 -> CM10.1) to avoid this sort of problem.
Actually, you should always wipe cache and dalvik when flashing the update. If it is a major update like 4.1.2 to 4.2.1, then you should wipe cache, wipe dalvik, Factory Reset, Format System then flash your ROM.
Move important files to SD using twrp file manager. Put rom on SD with gapps. Format internal, wipe caches, format system, factory reset, load ROM, load gapps. Reboot.

I did this, being careful to follow all the instructions provided. Odin seemed to think everything worked, and after about 10 minutes, it rebooted the phone.
However, it still gets stuck. Now, since CM is no longer installed, it just sits at the SAMSUNG logo forever.
It still boots into download mode, and will now boot into recovery as well. Any suggestions?

Worked like a charm, thanks! Can't believe after all that trouble, I didn't think to do that myself. >.<
So on Wednesday, I woke up to find all blank screens on my droid incredible. No apps, no widgets, etc. Thought this was odd. Rebooted, and they all came back. Then, came the error/force close messages. For everything. My contacts would randomly disappear, everything would just crash etc.
Went to clockwork (most recent version, whatever it is) to try to wipe the dalvik cache, regular cache, and fix permissions. Dalvik and permission fix went fine. When I tried to format the cache I got an "error formatting cache" message.
Over the last couple days, I noticed other strange problems. App updates wouldn't install properly, Every time I would reboot my phone, all my text messages from tuesday on would disappear (including any I have sent since a reboot). Apps I tried to uninstall would magically reappear on reboots. It seems that every time I rebooted my phone, it would revert back to this state prior to whatever went wrong with it.
This morning, I got a strange "UID Inconsistencies" message and telling me to wipe the phone data. My Only choice was to select a button that said "I'm Feeling Lucky"
I said screw it, I'll just backup what I need and wipe it.
Tried to do a data wipe via CW and.......when I rebooted it was like I never did. All the apps I had uninstalled were present, same issues (though slightly less prevelent), it was like I never did a factory reset at all.
I am really confused by this. I installed NO new apps prior to this, was not doing anything fancy on my phone. I rooted my phone last fall sometime, and have Touch of Blue 2.0 Rom installed. My only purpose for rooting and flashing this rom was to get rid of the dreaded "memory low" errors that plague the Incredible. I didn't experiment with anything so I am unclear how this problem arose or how to fix it. My phone basically works, but it's like the state of the phone continually reverts back to sometime between Monday and Wednesday of this week every time I reboot, no matter what I do to it, along with a slew of crazy errors that makes it extremely frustrating.
Hoping for some help. Thank you.

s is on, because it seemed like too much effort to downgrade/turn it off than it was worth since my reasons for rooting didn't require it. I'm not sure what you mean by the bootloader being unlocked so probably not, and no I have not tried reflashing recovery. Will try that now.

Well if you have a custom recovery and have flashed a rom, then you have to be unlocked. Use fastboot and type without quotes "fastboot erase recovery " and then " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ".
I've got a T-Mobile Note 3 that I picked it up on launch day last Thursday at a T-mobile store. I proceeded to root the phone with Odin, then restore via Titanium Backup and then fix the backup with "restorecon -R -v /data". Life has been great until last night. Initially I got a circle with a line through it instead of the mobile signal and my cellular link would not connect, but my wifi was fine. When the problem was sill occurring this morning I figured it was an odd cellular problem and rebooted the phone this morning when it persisted. Now the phone is rebooting a few minutes after it completes booting.
It will boot normally, then I'll unlock the phone and get my window manager (Holo)...then I'll get the error "Process system isn't responding. Do you want to close it?". Then I get the error "Unfortunately, Favorite Apps has stopped." Regardless whether I interact with those error messages the phone then reboots a minute later. I have *not* done a restore from CWM ever and the phone doesn't seem to have suffered any physical damage.
The things I've tried include:
*) power down, remove sdcard, then reboot
*) power down, remove sim card, then reboot
*) power down, remove sim card, remove sdcard, then reboot
*) clear cache, then reboot
*) clear dalvik-cache, then reboot
*) clear dalvik-cache and cache, then reboot
*) clear dalvik-cache, clean cache, then wipe to factory, then reboot
In all the above scenarios nothing has changed. The phone reboots after it completes booting.
In the past, I've rooted and flashed on a G1, a G2, and an S3. I've bricked my S3 that had to be repaired via JTAG. This reboot problem with my Note 3 is completely unlike any of the things I've seen with previous phones.
I've read through some of the other threads about reboot loops, but all the threads I've read were caused by a CWM restore and have no solution yet.
Does anyone know the cause of this and what could fix it?

I don't believe it was an app that was restored because the restore had run perfectly for 5 full days. I completed the restore last Thursday...that's what makes this so unusual.
Do you know where to get the stock zips to use with Odin?

There's some stock Odin tar files in the Android development forum. Download and flash using Odin. Once it reboots, remove battery and manually boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset/wipe. Reboot and it should work.

It looks as if the stock tar in zip format (N900TUVUBMI7_N900TTMBBMI7_TMB.zip) can be downloaded from either of these links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2465764 (faster download link)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468275 (slow download link)
I just finished downloading from the first link and after extracting the zip file I have these files:
N900TUVUBMI7_N900TTMBBMI7_N900TUVUBMI7_HOME.tar.md5
SS_DL.dll
This seems like an obvious thing, but want to ask because of how odd this problem is: Do I simply flash the "N900TUVUBMI7_N900TTMBBMI7_N900TUVUBMI7_HOME.tar.md5" file the same way that I flashed the CWM through Odin?
Yes, but IIRC, just uncheck reboot, reboot manually into recovery, then wipe, factory reset, etc. Pull your battery, reboot. Check the TWRP thread, it has exact directions.

Ok, I flashed with Odin then once it completed I got the "PASS!" status in Odin. I shut down Odin, pulled the battery from the Note 3, then allowed the phone to boot. There was a "booting recovery" message in blue at the top of the screen before the phone booted, then it booted to the "samsung logo", then the animated circular logo, then the white screen with the "T-Mobile 4G LTE" logo, then rebooted. The second boot, it did the same thing but stayed on the "T-Mobile 4G LTE" screen for many minutes...then it seemed as if it was completing it's reboot because I got the notification bar with the time and the circle with the line through it for the cell signal strength. I got the same error when the phone seemed to have completed booting, then a reboot. Now it's back to the same place it started in it's rebooting cycle.
This makes absolutely no sense at all. If I'd have done a CWM restore then I could understand that...but there's no reason for this that I can see. The phone acts as if it was knocked off of the T-Mobile network and now it finishes it's booting cycle long enough to be rebooted.
So now I have a useless Note 3. I'm game for taking the phone back to the T-Mobile store and requesting that they replace the phone, which they probably would, but I have no guarantee that this wouldn't happen again. I'm open to suggestions as long as they don't cause me to brick my phone completely.
I finished installing TWRP and darthrom successfully. However, after the darthrom finishes booting I have the exact same problem with the phone rebooting that the stock ROM had.
I'm back to square one.
I'm open to suggestions.

I saw a couple threads last night when I was searching around on the web about other models of phones with SIM socket and SIM card issues. I'm beginning to think that my issue is hardware-related, and not software. I did another wipe last night based on this thread's post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46157872&postcount=6&nocache=1&z=7848000959493220
Instead of simply wiping, I formatted /data/, then wiped, then I flashed on the stock ROM, then flashed on the darth rom. I got slightly different results once the phone was done with it's firstboot - it kept giving me the error that a new SIM card had been installed and the phone needed to be rebooted. This causes me to suspect the physical hardware of my Note 3 or the SIM card. I have ruled out the SIM card because I've been using it in my old G2 since this started, via an adapter for the G2's SIM socket, and it's been fine. I'm planning on taking the phone to T-Mobile today and seeing what they can sort out with either a SIM exchange or phone exchange.
The note 3 misbehaved the same way while in the T-Mobile store. They swapped the phone out under warranty after asking only the basic questions and trying a factory reset. The same SIM card in the new note 3 works fine.
I'm on the same boat. Got my Note 3 this morning, rooted an hour ago with CMW, made backup and flashed Stock ROM from Jovy. Result: bootloop. Restore backup and still on bootloop. DLing the Odin stock .tar to see if it helps. Any more suggestions?
Edit: After flashing with Odin the stock tar from Sammy all it's good...at least for now.

Interesting...it sounds like you had the boot loop that many others have had...it's cool to hear that you got it fixed. I think my problem was hardware-based since the phone completed it's boot process and *then* had issues. Luckily T-Mobile was there for me and helped out.

I know what you mean as far as waiting for a stable recovery. If it's any help, I've decided to stay far away from the recovery restore and simply use Titanium backup to do restores. It's more work than a nandroid recovery, but it reliably does it's job well for me.

Well...I'm doing a lot of reading. I can't stand this "stock look" and me, every time I root a phone, I always do my own modifications within the ROM I choose to flash. SystemUI and apk's. I only change the .png's, therefore, getting the visual look I want/like. Always done it with certain ROMs/Themes. I downloaded Jovy's stock ROM and made the visual changes I wanted. I flashed and got into that bootloop scenario. Restore backup with CWM provided by Zedomax and made it worse. I think the problem is recovery (at least from what I've read). In this case, CWM been less unstable than TWRP. I f you read a bit around, must ppl if not all, had the "dead bootloop" issue with TWRP. I haven't read from anybody yet having the "dead bootloop" with CWM. Ppl with CWM that flashed their backup and got that bootloop, fixed it flashing back to stock, where ppl that had TWRP have tried to flash back to stock and their phones never boot completely
Again...imma wait a little more for good reports as far as recovery goes!
Bigbiff has a file he uploaded, it may be a fix for the bootlooping issue. You'd be the first to try at this point. It's linked below, but the entire thread is in the OG development of tmobile.

I've never seen so many issues with a brand new flagship phone before. Makes me think it wasn't tested fully before release. I mean all these problems!
Even though I returned my N3 after I tried restoring and getting bootloop of death, I feel this model is really flawed. Hearing new things everyday.
