I have been using Cyanogen Mod for years now and have never had issues, When I saw a Official Nightly of CM10 for my SGH-T989 I figured I would flash it.
I did what I always do,
1. Created Backups for phone.
2. Used Darkside Superwipe for Both Phone and Cache
3. Installed CM10 with the corresponding Jelly Bean Gapps
When I turn my phone on now it just spins the new CM10 boot screen permanently, I cannot access Download mode but I can access a semi broken clockwork mod Recovery using the Power+Volume (Up and Down). Anything else causes the phone to vibrate every 2 seconds.
I have given it an hour or so on just BootLoop and it is never going to boot.
Is there anything I can do?
I am using CWM v.6.1.0.4
Update: If I hold down BOTH volume buttons and power + Home I can get into clockwork mod now. However it seems to freeze when doing much of anything. Very odd
Update: Looks like nothing can really be done within it. Every task freezes the phone almost instantly, When I try to restore backup I get MD5 Mismatch Errors. This task doesn't freeze the phone
Odin back to stock is your best bet. I use twrp haven't had any problems. I flashed cm 10 official about 4 hours ago and its running great

How can I Odin back to stock when I cannot get to Download Mode?
Also I should note that, I only have to hold "Volume up + Volume Down + Power till I see Samsung" to reach clockwork mod. The Home key does nothing as far as I can tell

Man that was silly of me, Thank you so much. If I could give you a hug right now I would hahaha So you are a fan of TWRP over Clockwork?
Mine did it too on another ROM, Sith. Supposedly the power button issue, but it was rom related...there are more and more people getting this weirdness with latest roms. I did what was mentioned above, got into ODIN...by the skin of my teeth, flashed back to stock and RAN (did not walk) to tmobile. I was able to get a PASS on odin and it would boot to the start up screen but google services and something else was force closing. I told the tmo rep that my phone was acting up and as a last ditch effort I did a full factory reset...and this is what I got. My replacement phone came in 2 days.
Good luck. I'm telling you guys, all these power button issues, boot loops etc are due to these new roms. I never had scary stuff like this on any gingerbread roms...EVER. MY replacement came with 4.04 so I'm good, staying stock until somebody figures out whats frying these phones.

If you're able to boot into cwm, then you're fine.
I'm assuming you were flashing a ROM, so just wipe everything x3, and reflash the ROM or a different one.

Now that doesn't make sense. You can safely get into CWM, but not into download mode?
I have to ask to make sure. With the phone off, you're holding the 1 key on the keyboard and then holding the power button?
Well if that's the case, get to a PC and insert your SD card into a reader. Download a kernel, like Genocide v2 or etc to the card, and boot into CWM to flash the new kernel off the card. See if that helps.
yes i hold down 1 and the power button, and i tried the genocide2.0 and it still does the same just the samsung screen has a different logo
Sounds like my hardware locked vibrant try flashing cm7 or miui then see if you can make it back to dl mode

If your phone has life you should be able to get into download mode. Take your battery out, press the power button for 10 seconds. With the battery still out connect with cable to computer and press and hold the 1 key on the keyboard and then add pressing and holding the power button. Download mode will appear. Connect to Odin now.

Hey, I had the same problem. Could only get into cmw 6.0.1.2 and all flashes would just freeze up. I flashed darkside superwipe till it stopped, pulled the battery, flashed an old ics ROM, looked like it froze again so i pulled battery and started phone normally, booted perfectly. Then downloaded ROM manager from play store and flashed cwm. Phones been working beautifully ever since.

No, none of them fully completed, thats why i had to battery pull. For the first several flashes i let it sit for 10min+ hoping it would work itself out, to no avail. The battery pulls were out of frustration. I just did trial and error until it eventually worked. Sometimes you have to figure things out for yourself.

Give this a try:
1) Go to Samsung Kies & download " Kies " on your PC.
2) Run Kies & click on the Tools tab.
3) Select " Firmware upgrade settings " & follow the on screen steps. Depending on your download speed this my take 1hr.
4) Your phone is back to stock ICS 4.0.4. Put this file on the root of your SD card " root.zip " You can also find this zip in the installed folder for Toolkit Beta.
5) Download & install " [APP] Samsung Galaxy S II Toolkit Beta V2.4 *ICS ROOT READY!!!* "
6) Follow the on screen steps to flash CWMT. This will use odin to flash CWM Touch back on your phone.
7) After odin opens click pda & select the recovery file " recovery.tar.md5 " it should be the only file listed.
8) After CWMT is on your phone and phone has rebooted unplug the usb wire from the phone & turn it off.
9) Pull battery wait for 10 sec then replace battery now push in and hold both volume up & volume down buttons at the same time then hold the power button until the phone vibrates. *Do not let go of the volume buttons until you see CWMT*. It will flash the screen one time then you are now ready to flash the root.zip file you put on your SD card.
10) Find the root.zip file you put on your SD card, now flash it *note it may not flash right away just keep trying until it flashes. Then reboot.
11) You should now be stock & rooted & ready to flash your hart out.
Let me know if this helps, I have done this 4x now & it works with no problems.

Have you tried a factory and data reset to factory settings from the recovery? Usually fixes the problem. Always do that before and maybe after a custom rom zip installation.
He said it wont boot into recovery, but he didn't answer whether or not he can get into download mode. Thats his only hope if recovery isn't booting.
I cant get it on turn on period. if I try t boot into recovery, it does nothing. very stange!!
oh yea..... nor does it go ino download mode for some reason. sorry about that. what happened??

This may not be it but are you sure the phone is charged and has enough battery life? I'm wondering what battery % you were at when you started the process?
Maybe try removing the battery for 10 seconds and trying to boot into recovery again?
phone was fully charged.

From download mode, if that works which it should, use Odin to reflash stock ROM then install CM10 over it after reflashing CWM.

Most likely but if it does anything at all thinking a jig might be worth a shot to get to download mode....I always try the cheapest way first. 6 bucks from eBay vs sending away.

Isn't this for the international version?
So I'm running an unlocked rogers galaxy note 2 I1737M. I was using clean rom 3.3 then today it just crashed everything. I tried to reboot to recovery and well it got stuck in a boot loop there. This was at work so now several hours later I am sitting here trying to reset set my phone. I have tried odin to restore to the stock files, hell I would be happy with just that. I used the imiage found in the refrence thread of the android develpment. any tips? links? help of any kind? Anything will be greatly apreceated.
worst part is I got it yesterday.
EDIT: I thought I should add that I am using odin v1.85 and that I am unable to get the phone to boot into anysort of recovery, ok I did once but can't get it to do it again. Not even stock.

I was using Stock LJ2 kernel CMW-flashable. After several hours of fighting with TWRP I was able to install CWM using odin and got my self out it looks like. The only thing with CWM is that data wipe seems to crash the recovery so I hope this dirty install of the rom I had saved on their works just fine.
I was using the Cyanogenmod that recently went out to the Google Play market. I decided to go back to stock and tried to do a Firmware recovery in Samsung Kies. It all seemed to go fine but when it's time to start up I just hang on the Samsung logo.
I've been trying to fix it and even used Odin to flash a stock ROM (latest release from November 19th) which was successful, but I am still not having any luck getting the phone to start. It's just hanging every time I restart.
Does anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I hate to be such a noob but I could really use a few pointers.
Thanks so much

I don't have the stock recovery or I can't access it I think. When I hold the Vol Down + Home and power it on I get the screen that says to hit Vol Up to continue. When I do that I don't have any options, just the "Downloading" screen. It also says "Odin Mode" at the top

Any time you do a factory reset or flash a new ROM it may take 5 to 10 minutes, and this is pretty standard. The reason why is it is booting deodexed instead of odexed I believe. The distinction is clarified in the link below.
Please see "Deodex is Slower, Then Why Bother?":
http://www.redmondpie.com/odexed-vs-deodexed-the-difference-between-the-two-android-roms-explained/
Everyone started out a noob here. The difference is that some of them persisted. Keep up the tinkering :good:.
