-----------/!\ Need help!! Potentially bricked------ - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

I flashed the ATT MIUI rom onto my tmobile note 2, all was working fine, than i tried to install rom manager, it installed and miui warned me about root so i enabled it in permission manager but it wouldnt work and it went into a force close loop "permission manager has stopped working" every 5 seconds. Restarted the phone and it went away, then i went into recovery, wiped cache, dalvik cache, and flashed GAPPS. They installed just fine, then i rebooted and was stuck on the MI logo for 5 minutes, i rebooted back into CWM and tried to wipe DATA/FACTORY RESET , this is where the problem is when i pressed "yes" it turns the phone off and reboots, it doesnt wipe the data , i tried going into mounts and storage and wiping system there, that works but when i tried to wipe data it reboots so im assuming the problem has to do with wiping the data. After wiping system,cache,dalvik cache i tried to go back to jedi x7 and it flashes but once it gets to the boot screen it turns off and restarts. now i just took the battery out and hoping someone can help me
EDIT - FIXED
Read the thread i posted updates of what I did to fix it

50 views / no help? come on anybody give your suggestions please :crying:

A shot in the dark here....
Get the flashable TWRP 2.3.2.3 and copy it on your external SD.
Go into recovery and flash it and then try to flash the Rom with TWRP.
I hope this helps you.

If twrp doesn't work.
I suggest you use odin to flash stock rom

I tried but I still get the same problem. Maybe Im doing something wrong. I put the phone in download mode, open Odin, plug it in, click PDA, choose the stock I got from the SamMobile site, and it runs completely but then gets stuck on reboot at the Samsung logo still.
go into stock recovery by powering on the phone while holding home and volume up, then choose the option to wipe cache, then reboot.
Agreed. I had a similar issue the other day. I ended up wiping cache in samsung recovery, and if that doesn't work, wipe data factory reset. I tried rebooting, but it still got stuck at the samsung logo. I then flashed CWM recovery or TWRP recovery through ODIN and then download another rom. Do a factory reset within the new recovery / wipe cache/ wipe dalvik/ wipe system/ and then flash the new rom. That will get it to boot.
Moral of the story is to not freak out too much. You're not in trouble.

[Q] Stuck in Samsung Starting Screen

A few weeks ago I installed a blackjelly rom on my telus s3, and then proceeded to install codenameandroid. It worked great for a while but then I decided to see if I could unroot my phone and install stock rom. I did this using Odin and it worked great as well with no issues. My problem now is I am trying to install roms again and whenever I do so, after the installation and reboot I get stuck in the Samsung Galaxy loading screen. I have left it there for 5 minutes with no change. I even tried flashing the blackjelly rom the same way I did the first and nothing is changing. Lastly, when I try to flash Hellfire, i always get the message status 7. I have wiped everything, formated /system, and wiped all caches. Any suggestions?
-I am using latest CWM.
-It is rooted with superuser
All help will be appreciated.
if stuck at the samsung screen, pull battery, reboot recovery,wipe cache, wipe dalvik, maybe even fix permissions, reboot

Stuck on Galaxy S3 Logo After Use Odin.

Well do not know what happened.
I was on AOKP ROM 4.2.2 and wanted to try LiquidSmoth v2.9, I made my Nandroid Backup, Wipe everything and flash the ROM, then stuck in galaxy logo, go back to Recovery mode and wipe dalvik and cache and try to boot but nothing. Go back to the recovery mode and restore but it show Error Nandroid restoring / data, wipe everythin again and restoring without / data and still stuck on samsung logo.
Download the stock ROM and Odin for i747 Galaxy S3 and i flash it, but nothing happens, this still stuck on the logo. Odin showed everything correctly. When I enter recovery mode shows red letters that say you can not access to / data.
What I can do?? I can enter Stock Recovery and Download Mode.

Go into stock recovery and factory reset. Should load properly after that.

I can not believe that just had to do that to initiate smoothly. :laugh:
That was pretty ugly. But i said: hey this is not brick, i can solve it but i need help.
Thanx man.
And if you have a little more time, maybe you can explain what happened!
I did everything as the steps they take to flash ROM and AOKP previously had done and went well. This time with LiquidSmoth not happened. And lost the nandroid because I could not even restore.
Thanks again man. :good:
Things get kinda wonky like that sometimes. It happened to me last night with SlimBean. Starting all over almost always fixes things for me :good:

[Q] n7100 probam rom stuck at boot

I recently tried installing probam rom v4.4.9 from xda threads and followed all the instructions. everything worked fine up until the thread said to reboot the phone once more, anyway long story short i rebooted it and it was stuck at the galaxy note 2 logo (white letters black background) it was stuck like this for around 5-10mins at which point i pulled the battery and decided to go back to using rootbox rom.
Is their anyway i can install probam rom without this happening again?
I've also tried downloading and installing probam version 4.5.0 from their own website following the instructions given on xda, but once its booted from twrp it'll work until i have to reset, at which point i am back to square one, being stuck at the galaxy note 2 logo.
I have also tried installing pacman rom because i would like to use a 4.3 rom but the same thing happens, the rom will work fine until i have to reboot or it randomly reboots and gets stuck at the note 2 logo.
the only roms i am able to use without this happening are moon rom v10, rootbox rom and carbon rom, only thing is i would like to use different roms and check out their features, but i am somewhat limited to what i can use due to the above problem. Does anyone else have this issue? If so how did you get past it?
Haven't had the problem myself. Did you also format the system partition and not just wipe it? Wipe the data partition?
Perhaps you can try installing a stock firmware through Odin, reinstall your recovery. That might clean some thing up that keep you from booting in probam rom.

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!

Tried putting stock rom back on but still bootlooping. When i go into android system recovery it says twice
E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
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.
