Tonight I flashed for the first time (yay, go me) and everything worked great, followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426. I chose to flash JB 4.1.1 stock rooted (also in that thread).
When I use my phone, all is great, EXCEPT, if I don't touch it, the screen times out and goes black in ~5 seconds. I went into settings->display and set it to 10m...same issue. Rebooted, same issue. Power off, start up, same issue.
Ideas?
wow never-mind, im an idiot.
Well what did you do wrong? :silly:

I went through and followed the instruction to a T.
Got CW3 installed, everything appeared normal, converted to EXT4 no problem. Wiped 3 times, no errors, installed midnight 3.3 and rebooted.
I was greeted with the setup screen but I have absolutely no signal. Just the circle with a slash through it. I can't even connect through wifi.
Since I can't sign into my google account, I just skip it for now.
So now I'm at my home screen and I press and hold the power button to shut down. Now I see the airplane mode flickering on and off rapidly.
Right now my phone is pretty much useless. Any help would be appreciated.
sounds like something went wrong. Flash back to DK28 with Odin and try again.
I'm actually coming from DI18.
I just used odin to do a restore back to DI18, I'll try it again.
I don't see how something could have gone wrong, I installed it exactly how it's written.
No good.
Just flashed again, following the documented instructions again. Same problem.
Have to flash either all of dk28 or at least the modem to run any of the dk28 roms. Just odin to dk28 and start from there.
That did it.
I used odin to flash to DK28 and booted, everything was working.
Reflashed to Midnight 3.3 and I have a signal now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100]
((EDIT: Suddenly, after leaving it turned off for about 15 minutes, it works. It just powered up IN THE PACMAN ROM! Still no clue what happened though, Would like to find out for the future))
Hello there,
My device was working fine yesterday, however today I re-rooted after an update. This went well and all was working fine, until I decided to try my first ROM, the PACMan ROM. I flashed with CWM6 (Following a tutorial, using Odin) which seemed to work fine until I actually tried to use it. I went to reboot my phone, and when it started up, it was (graphically) glitching, with the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo twitching around the screen, and a strange set of brown, thick-ish bars moving around the bottom half. Following a few seconds of this, the device shut off.
Following this I discovered that I could get it to stay on and boot-up successfully if I held down the home button (Not sure if relevant), however I still wanted to get down to the bottom of the issue. Following some research, I decided to try and flash a different download of CWM 6 for my phone again. This time it worked, and I went straight to factory reset then install the 'Gapps' and ROM file. There were no unexpected errors in this installation, however when the phone restarted, the same glitch occurred, only without a way past it.
I have since tried patching with the other CWM file that didn't work to see if perhaps I could use my phone again, but this didn't work. Similarly, I've used the working CWM to do a factory reset without installing any ROMs, and the booting still didn't work.
Please help I don't wan't to risk doing further damage, and would be perfectly happy going back to regular jellybean.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Thomas
TL;DR My Galaxy Note I N7100's boot is after flashing
Hey everyone. I cannot find any information specific to my phone. I have the Galaxy SII Hercules, and I've been trying to get Cyanogen Mod 10 on it. I rooted it just fine, everything worked great. I flashed the CWM Recovery, ran super wipe and super cache wipe after installing the mod. Everything was fine. But then the next day, the phone just died with 75% power left and got stuck rebooting over and over. If I take the battery out, it will let me go into recovery, but then the power button is selecting options without me touching it.
If I unroot the phone and go back to stock, the power button works fine when selecting options in the stock recovery, and the boot loop stops. I cannot find anyone who will tell me what's causing this, or how to fix it, other than "YOu have a loose power button!" But then, why have I not had the problem at all using stock? I prefere the way my phone was working on CM10, especially the better battery life and radio reception.
OK. Well, I managed to find information on google. For some reason searching the forums here doesn't yield results other than finding another poster with the same problem. It seems the version of clockwork recovery I was using would cause the issue. I flashed and rooted with twrp 2.4.4.0 (2.5.5.0 would not finish flashing in odin mode for some reason) and everything is running fine so far. But its only been a couple hours.

Hopefully your post can help other people. If you try to use those super wipe scripts with CWM 6 you will have major problems. Only use them if you are on CWM 5.0.2.7.
Doing fine after 36 hours. The battery life is 8 hours, 15 minutes with WiFi and GPS on the whole time. It did have a black screen earlier with the four home keys along the bottom lit up. I had to take the battery out, but it came back up no problem. Only glitch so far.

So i was using Darthstalker v3 and arter97 kernel 9.3 with no issues.
Suddenly one day, i noticed screen flicker when waking the device, followed by hesitation. So my first step was to wipe the dalvik/cache. That apparently did not help.
I then lost my bootup logos, as well as shut down, along with the screen pretty much refusing to come on.
I used smart switch to emergency recover the stock firmware. Nothing. Then i Odined a stock untouched rom. No change. Once i actually got the phone to render the screen in recovery, so i wiped everything three times, and and flashed darthstalker v6. I also rooted the phone again just before that. I
So when the phone is powered off, the battery icon is present, and the screen wakes to that no problem. Since i set the device to never timeout while charging,
when i plug it in, the screen comes on, but as soon as i try to touch it, poof, the rendering of the screen goes. But, while this occurs, i can hear the icons being pressed,
etc. Completely stumped as to what to do. Can someone help?
[SOLVED]
strangely enough, I found a solution in a most peculiar way.
I managed to finally get into the phone by charging to 100 percent. Then, I downloaded flashify, and attempted to flash tekxodus rom, as well as selecting dalvik and cache wipe.
The flash did not work. the phone just rebooted. Then, I downloaded rom manager premium, and then rom manager attempted its prerequisite attempt to detect my recovery. (up until that point, I had twrp installed).
The detection lingered, so I pressed the back key and selected reboot into recovery. Surprisingly enough, I was back in Stock recovery.
So apparently the solution to the anomaly I encountered in the OP, is to either follow the simple steps above, or, to flash stock recovery in Odin. If that is at all possible for the user. I can confirm the above worked for me as I tried everything for the last week and this was the only method that worked.
The shutdown/startup logos are back, with no screen flicker or hesitation on sleep/wake.

yeah i just suddenly started having this problem. my phone would reboot itself and then it would be updating apps as if i just flashed xposed or something, my phone would have issues with wifi, flickering lockscreen, and if you rub the screen while its off which wouldl show you information stream doesnt work either. Decided to dump the rom. Am going with the TEKXodus N5 with arter kernel

It's just like I told you. When I read that you had experienced the same precursors that I came across with the rom, I had a hunch you would be soon after posting the exact issues that I eventually ran into.
So when you download Tekxodus and flash, please keep me informed as to if it resolves the issue. As you are aware, stock firmware has not resolved the problem for me, but then again devices vary.
So enjoy the fix if you ever run into the above issue.
Im fine with stock, but I miss the fun of trying new roms.
Hello,
Ive had this device for now 3 months and never once had a problem. I did however stay on stock for quite awhile just rooted. Recently Ive been testing out different roms and ran through quite a few until I heard about the all mighty CM gem by Sultan. So I figured I would give it a shot. Went ahead and downloaded that along with gapps like any other rom. Booted into TWRP and wiped both the system and cache/dalvik. Then went ahead and attempted to install the rom. Unfortunately midway through it froze and my screen artifacted. I figured I would give it a few seconds and the screen turned black with the notification light turned on. I then tried to reset it with a volume+power combo and nothing happened. After about 5 mins of letting it rest it turned back on.
I went ahead and tried this process again thinking it was just a fluke but nope happened again. So I figured it was a corrupt zip file and I would just go back to the stock image I flashed before which was working perfectly fine. Again froze and gave me artifacts. Hoping to find an answer I downloaded the latest TWRP image and flashed the roms again. Same outcome. I even went out of my way to flash the stock recovery, fully reset all my data through there and then reflash TWRP and sideload Sultan's CM. Which I for once actually got into the ROM however now whenever I get into the ROM my phone overheats instantly and I get the nasty artifacts back along with a reset of the phone. Well kind of the screen goes black and I have to wait until it cools off to turn it back on or else it wont turn on.
Anyone have this issue? Anyone know how to solve this? This is my only phone and I go off to college next monday. Thanks in advanced.
UPDATE: I now cannot get the phone to turn on. No haptic feedback, no LED notification light, no recognition in windows. Literally a paperweight at this point.
The same here, flashed CM and Gapps...
Phone hangs on boot, rebooted the phone and now it won't go on..
