Hey guys, I'm really new to rooting, flashing roms, and Android in general (I've used iOS since 2007 until a month ago... please have mercy on my soul). I have an AT&T GN2 that I would like to remove the bloatware from, hence why I began investigating rooting, but it's snowballed into my desire to try out some of the amazing ROMs that the developers here have produced. Since the Note 2 uses the Exynos 4, I rooted using the ExynosAbuse exploit and downloaded Titanium Backup to freeze the AT&T apps. So far, so good.
However, I am wanting to get into how to flash custom ROMs, like CyanogenMod, so I downloaded the CWM RomManager and flashed the CWM Recovery. I downloaded the CyanogenMod 10.1 release for the i317 model (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024495) and the latest gApps package (for 4.2.1), and flashed both from CWM RomManager. When it rebooted, it showed the CyanogenMod boot screen, but it appears to be stuck there. I'm not sure what to do at this point, and am hoping I didn't brick my phone. Is there anything I can do at this point?
Use the three button combo to get into recovery, should be volume up, home, and power, and then wipe data or install a stock rooted ROM. That should help get you to a bootable stage.

When I booted into recovery, I got the CWM recovery (which is a good thing, I suppose). I wiped the cache, and then installed the CM 10.1 zip and gApps zip. However, I think I still need to wipe data/factory reset, right?
So, at this point, I've:
1. Rooted the device using Chainfire's ExynosAbuse apk (super easy).
2. Installed RootChecker (success) and TI backup (froze bloatware apps).
3. Downloaded CWM RomManager.
4. Flashed CWM Recovery.
5. Downloaded CM 10.1 port for i317 (the AT&T GN2 model) and the 4.2.1 gApps zips.
6. Chose to install ROM from SD card in RomManager, added both CM 10.1 and gApps, and only selected install (did not wipe cache or user data at this point).
7. Received blue CyanogenMod boot screen... excited... but it remains on the boot screen. Sad face.
8. Removed battery to power the device off, placed battery back in, and then booted into recovery mode (CWM recovery).
9. Installed the CM 10.1 zip and gApps zip from SD, then wiped cache.
10. ???
Wipe data factory reset. Wipe cache/dalvik. Flash cm, flash gapps. Reboot
And dont use rom manager. Do it in recovery

EDIT: wiped dalvik cache, didn't do anything... apparently, this was a fine release so I'm not sure what could be causing the keyboard issues.

So what ROM are you using? I just picked cyanogenmod because I've heard of it before, but I would like something that works. Is there a way to add another ROM onto the phone's storage, as I don't have an SD card... And since I can't type anything, it's not like I can download it from the phone's browser?

Plug it into your computer and see if you can mount your internal sd. If you can download a new rom to your computer and transfer it to sd. Did you make a backup before flashing?
Im just running stock rooted for now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Well, I'm downloading CleanROM right now. I also downloaded another cm 10.1 file just in case, perhaps it's because I downloaded it on the mobile Chrome browser that I'm having problems? I also downloaded a kernel from the thread to help with performance. However, if I can't get these on the phone, it doesn't matter. Since I'm on a Mac, I have to use Android File Transfer, and it isn't registering my phone, unfortunately. I may have to go out and buy a cheap SD card and throw the files on there. It may not hurt to have one around, anyways.
Text yourself the download link to CleanRom. :thumbup:
And chrome shouldnt have made a difference. I take it you didnt make a nandroid backup before you flashed cm?

No... I thought that a backup of the original ROM was made when flashing CWM recovery, but I am a noob and that did not happen. Unfortunately, the browser doesn't even work! So I cannot text myself the link for the download. I should be able to flash a zip file from a micro sdhc, right?
Flash the right GAPPS, the crashing keyboard is a symptom of incorrect GAPPS. The December one is for 4.2.1 only, which is what CM10.1 is based on. Make sure you flash the right GAPPS with the right CM version.

The CM you linked in the OP is CM10 not 10.1, so you flashed the wrong GAPPs

Oh... crap. Is there any way I can get the correct gApps on my phone? Ugh... I'm going to have access to a Windows machine today, so I can download the correct GAPPS and put them on my flash drive. I can still put it in USB debugging mode, but will the PC recognize it? Android File Transfer software for Mac does not recognize the phone any more, so I'm a bit limited in what I can do. Unless, like I said before, I can just pop in an SD card with the correct file.
Just grab goo manager from the market and dl the correct gapps to your phone. Either that or use your phones browser. No need for a pc. Boot in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and flash correct gapps. Should be gtg.
Edit: just saw your browser isn't working. Goo manager's your best bet. Could always try another browser from the market as well. Good luck.

Ok I'm really irritated right about now. I am unable to flash any custom ROMS on my phone. Actually let me rephrase, I can flash them but many things do not work. I have tried Wicked, FreeGS3 and CapROM. They all have the same issues. Let me explain.
Once the ROM is booted I get odd string of numbers and TXT in the status bar, (goes away, think nothing of it)
Root not avail/accessible by root apps.
Home button does not work
Play store missing
standard Google login prompt at first boot is missing, it never asks me to login
Using CWM 5.8.4.5 Touch Recovery
TMO GS3 Rooted with Odin no trip method
I don't get it. I am i just stuck using stock ROM? If anyone can help I would love you forever.
are you clearing /cache and dalvik-cache before you reboot to the custom rom?

If you mean clearing those after the install (in recovery completes) then no. Basically after the install I just reboot. Obviously clear and reset everything before I install though.

I use TWRP and have no problems.
Do a Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions.
If that doesn't work, flash stock and reroot and try again.
I use touch recovery 5.8.4.7 and flashed it with adb. I've flashed almost everything. Cyanogenmod and every other ROM. NEVER had a problem with an instalation. Or even lost IMEI. I think people specifically aren't reading over OP's and figuring out what's safest for their devices and end up with these kind of results. Just my input.

Use mskips tool for our phones. It does everything you can image and then some. I have been using his tools since the HD2 and no issues to date.
The odd string of numbers that flashes upon boot in the status bar sounds like it's just identifying your external sd card. Totally normal.
OK so nothing worked. TWRP did the same thing. Tried diff ROM, same thing. I flashed back to 100% stock, unrooted ROM. Wiped the phone in the standard Android recovery. Then I rooted again, installed TWRP and flashed my ROM of choice and voila. Everything works. Problem solved. Thanks all for the inputs.
I'm hella sick of the stock android os and all the stock modded roms and want cyanogenmod for my note II... It should be possible lol

yeah I'm hella pissed that ClockWorkRecovery is a worthless piece of crap on the NoteII unlike my Atrix where it worked fine. When I go into cwm and go to clear data it restarts and I charged to 100% and it still restarts. One time it didn't restart and I backed up my current rom and it was successful. I forgot to backup with titanium back and so I cleared data and restored my original backup prior to clearing data to install cm10 and upon reboot it was like a stock rom i think the hybrid and the camera didn't even work. So it cleared all my personal data and didn't restore ****. I'm so mad now I have to do a whole bunch of work to get it back to normal.
What's up with CWM for Note 2? Why doesn't it backup EVERYTHING like my ATRIX and HTC HD2 would do no problem...
Now I can't clear data since everytime I do it, it restarts every single time... CWM - based recovery v6.0.1.4-jb Modify by xiaolu
Can I flash a better working version that actually works and backup correctly and restores all data...?
Use TWRP. It's much better.

Phone wont boot at all?
The best way to get twrp is to download goo manager from the Playstore and install it from that app. (Recovery script option)
Sent from the Bacon Pope's Galaxy Note 2
It hangs on the Hybrid screen forever so i just now install cm10 with no wipe data just to get into the os so i can copy the right files to the internal sd card for twrp etc
So now i can't get it to work at all it just hangs on the CyanogenMod screen. Does TWRP work with ntfs cards in recovery?? I hope so. Because it's stupid how it can mount usb storage and see my ntfs sd card on my pc but then i can't browse to install zip it says cannot mount. When It just got done mounting it to the pc and it worked fine.
Anyway now I'm screwed can't do anything except maybe format my 64gb sd card and I really don't want to do that.
Twrp accepts adb. You can push files to it if youre stuck in twrp.

TWRP doesn't even work I did exactly as it says here on the site :
Install using your existing recovery like you would any other zip.
Reboot and select TWRP from the boot menu.
There is no menu upon boot what the hell are they talking about? I hold volume up, menu, power and I see the Teamwin then it restarts ..... WTF?!?

Okay my phone is screwed i installed twrp in clockworkmod and it doesnt work i see teamwin then it reboots so im doing odin mode now and it does the same thing... prior to me doing all this cwm was rebooting as soon as i clear data and so I couldnt clear data and i cant boot to android or anything so CAN SOMEONE PLEASE help me do a Fresh ODIN install of TWRP PLEASE? thank you
I flashed back to cwm6-root-note2.tar and i Can At least get into recovery without it messing up and restarting like Worthless TWRP does. Anyway when I go to clear data the phone Restarts...
Don't install from cwm. I think you got it working. But I would Odin flash stock and start over. If you still have issues I would say your phone has something going on. But if you can't prove it, att won't trade. And flashing incorrectly(not official Samsung software) isn't allowed lol
Sent from GN2 using XDA app
So let me get this straight.
Your pissed because:
A.) Free CWM isnt working to your liking
B.) Free "lame stock modded rom's" are lame
C.) You've been here for 2 years and cant find where the AOSP Roms are
Sorry your free stuff doesnt bend over backwards for you
In another thread...complaining about the same thing...he says he got TWRP working. Didn't respond to my question as to what he did yet though. But the negative attitude towards something going wrong isn't going to solve the issue. Relax. Remember that both CWM and TWRP have disclaimers that if you don't know what you're doing and you screw your phone up during the install, you do it at your own risk and they're not liable, especially when many of us have installed CWM and TWRP many times in different devices without problems.
For me to get my phone working had to re-partition with a pit file for my sgh-i317 then installed stock rom then went to stock recovery cleared data etc then flashed twrp and install jellybeer cm10 which is working great.

If you really want to be careful just download 10.1 and the Gapps for 4.2.2 put those on your SD card in that same folder (delete old ones of course) and reflash again.
Flashing a ROM for i747 or d2att even if it s bad download won't do any permanent damage any way.
You will be good to go. Just so you know is nearly impossible to hard brick the galaxy s3 unless you flash a international ROM. Anything listed in this device specific forum won't hurt your device.
Wipe cache, davlik cache (located in advanced), factory reset, and format system if you like but its not necessary. After first successful boot, reboot into recovery and make a backup.

If not try this: Just flash the ROM and not the gapps. You wont have google apps but your phone will boot and then you can download the gapps on your phone. It is doesn't boot you need a sd card or flahs with odin back to stock. Did you make a backup of your stock ROM before you flashed CM 10 ?

The problem that I am having is that I'm currently running 4.1.2 and for the life of me, cannot figure out how to get it to 4.2. I've tried installing CM10, but every time I try and flash it in CWM, I get a E: Error in /emmc/cm10.zip (Status 7). I've tried installing other 4.2 ROMs like Paranoid Android etc, but get the same/similar error. I can flash other custom ROMs, like Alliance and such. I'm sure I'm over thinking this and just need a fresh set of eyes on the issue and a point in the right direction here. Your help is much appreciated.
What version of cwm are you running?

Status 7 is an out of date recovery, so make sure that's updated.
Also the newest cm10 and aokp and Pac man need updated bootleggers. Check the cm10 thread for the links to the Odin files.

Read up on what the status 7 error means. Also, I would recommend switching from CWM to TWRP.

Cwm is actually sitting currently at 6.0.3.1. Here is the latest cwm flashable zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1888710&d=1366136727
Flash this in cwm, go to advanced, select reboot recovery. Once back in, make a new backup.
Before you flash a 4.2 rom from 4.1, wipe everything. Save everything you want to an sd card or your PC. Place your desired rom and gapps on a micro sd card. Wipe data, wipe cache and dalvik. Format /system and /data. Flash rom and gapps.

Hahaha. I thought that was you. Cheers, KorGuy!
Thanks all. I just went into ROM Manager and updated CWM to the current version of 6.0.3 and it worked like a freakin' charm. I will be sure to hit THANKS for you all. Thanks again.

It's actually 6.0.3.2 now, but you have to build it yourself to get it as the latest released version is still 6.0.3.1.

It's not a release until it's released.

So, I'm having this strange issue where I can't boot into Recovery Mode.
I've been a flashaholic for a little over a year now, but I've never had this problem.
I wanted to get off of Philz because it wasn't wiping my phone correctly while flashing new roms, so I decided to go back to good 'ol TWRP.
I downloaded Goomamager and tried to install, no luck.
So I hopped on my laptop to flash via ODIN, still a no go.
Only after that, it doesn't boot into Recovery at all.
I tried to use ROM Manager to install CWM, because at this point I'm willing to use anything, still a no go.
Anyone got any ideas?
I can get into Download Mode, but no Recovery is sticking.
I try to boot into Recovery, but the device just reboots itself.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Depends on the android version. Also go back to stock with Odin and start all over. Make sure you using right recovery ? As far as philz cwm not wiping properly. Not to sure about that one. A wipe is a generic thing. What do you mean not wiping the right way?

Alright, I was gonna do that tomorrow on my day off, since the device seems to function properly mostly.
With Philz, I mean that I would Factory Reset, Wipe Data and "Wipe for new ROM", but when I would flash the new ROM, it would still have everything I had before on the device's SD memory, (which to me, is not a clean flash).
I am on Temasek's 4.4 CM11 v50.
I've been using this ROM for a long time and I've never had this problem in the past.
