I apologize if this has been answered before, but I have looked through the threads for 2 days and haven't found an answer.
I come from an Evo 4G and Evo LTE background.
I received my Note 2 on Friday. I rooted it and installed TWRP using the toolkit without a problem. Used Titanium Backup to confirm root. I booted into recovery and created a stock nandroid. All seemed great.
Then I downloaded the LJC to LK8 firmware upgrade zip and attempted to flash in recover. TWRP said everything went fine. However, I rebooted and was still on LJC. I then downloaded the Synergy (LJC) Rom since I was still on the LJC firmware. I confirmed the MD5 and attempted to flash through TWRP. Again TWRP showed that the rom successfully flashed, but when I rebooted, I was still on my stock rom, only this time I had to run through the setup again because I had wiped the system.
I reinstalled TWRP just to see if that would help, but nope, same problem.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to why zips aren't flashing through TWRP?
Thanks in advance.

I can no longer flash a new rom and boot up successfully. It goes through the entire flash process correctly, but then boots straight into CWM when i restart. I have tried to flashing back to stock via odin, then starting fresh, did a factory reset from standard recovery. I have flashed MANY times prior with no problems. The only way I can get it to boot is when I restore with Odin. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I tried TWRP and same issue. Boots straight into whatever recovery I have installed. I have never had a problem with CWM before. I was running Serenity 1.1, noticed my GPS wasn't working and reverted back to stock and did factory reset. Ever since, not able to flash. I had flashed a couple of the Sprint leak roms prior to Serenity with no issues.

flash a stock rom using odin should unroot your phone giving you stock recovery again

I don't want stock recovery. I want to be able to flash again. I tried using TWRP after fresh install but still have same issue. Either I boot straight into recovery after flashing rom, or it just sits on the SGS III logo. The only thing I can flash is back to stock either already rooted or plain stock. I am at a loss. I have been flashing with no problems since august and have no idea what the problem can be. I have even tried redownloading the roms.

Well fortunately for you rooting the GS3 is very easy, so do as he says, Odin to stock, re-root and flash. If you are seriously at a loss because you don't want to go through the trouble to be able to flash and root again then I suggest searching forums for someone who might have the same problem.
That's the problem, after flashing back to stock, and re rooting, I have the problem. I cannot flash anything using CWM or TWRP anymore. I am currently rooted and stock. No recovery installed. Not sure what happened and why recoveries are not working. I don't mind flashing back to stock.
Grab a stock image from sammobile.com and try that.

Evidently fifth time is a charm. Restored back to rooted stock, reinstalled apps, twrp and successfully made a back up and restored. Was able to flash Ariel. Not sure what the difference was but back up and running now. Thanks for all the suggestions.
So I totally nuked my phone this weekend. T-mobile is mailing me a new SGH-T989 because of my warranty so it's mostly good.
I wanted to update to the latest TWRP so I could flash a 4.3 ROM (Simbean) . I Odined in and flashed TWRP 2.6.3 because goo.im wasn't working. I was able to flash the Slimbean ROM but on first reboot I couldn't make it past the Samsung screen.
I can get back into TWRP but everything fails. - typical process. "Fix permissions- Success", then "Full wipe - Success" then "Fix permissions (cause I'm trying anything at this point)- Failed"
In TWRP Restoring backups "Failed" Flashing new image "Failed" In between I've tried erasing everything but the MicroSD card and starting fresh but Noting will install.
I've reflashed TWRP through ODIN but same issue. A couple of times I've got a restore to work and boot up but if the phone sleeps it won't wake up again. I can only get back to TWRP.
I tried flashing back to stock but I hang the pink T-mobile screen.
Eventually I think I mashed the power button and the phone wouldn't even boot.
So I'm getting a new one. I want to root it and replace the stock rom of course but.... Is TWRP 2.6.3 screwed for anyone else? I've heard rumors...Is CWM still a viable choice for modern JB ROMS?
thanks.
As you'll see all over the T989 forums, people have been having lots of trouble with TWRP 2.6.3. TWRP 2.6.1.0 is recommended by most. I wiped and flashed Slimbean 4.3 without any issues using TWRP 2.6.1.0.

i had twrp 2.6.3 and it really screwed up my phone. so stick with 2.6.1! but i have read that cwm is way better so i might switch
twrp 2.6.3.0
It seems like some people have trouble with 2.6.3.0 and some don't. I have been using it since it came out and usually flash at least one new ROM daily with not a single problem.

I think the problem with 2.6.3.0 is with backing up and restoring backups, not flashing ROMs.
Hi, all. Just like the title says. I'm stuck in a bootloop and not sure what to do.
TWRP 2.5
Went from Docs deodexed T999L ROM to SlimBean 2.2
then...
I was making a backup of SlimBean 2.2 on TWRP 2.5 I believe and that went fine. I then went to do a factory reset but it gave me some kind of error that data wasn't found or was found. It was all confusing to me. So I decided to upgrade to the latest TWRP 2.6.3.1 from Doc's signature (I think that was it). I rebooted into the new TWRP and when I went to do a factory reset, it rebooted constantly. So I went into recovery again, and I was able to clear, dalvik, cache, and system, but freezes and reboots when trying to clear data.
Stupid me, I then flashed TWRP 2.5 again, and now I can't get into the recovery settings. It was show the blue TeamWin logo, but then reboots, shows the Galaxy S3 T999L logo, then the SlimBean boot screen, then reboots, repeating this over and over again.
So basically I have no working custom recovery, no operating system, but I can get into download mode.
Not exactly sure where to go from here. I rooted using the recovery method about a month or so ago. Do you think I can just go through the root process and flash TWRP 2.6.3.1 from Odin?
Thanks in advance!
Edit:
A little bit more, I was running Stock 4.1.2 before the rooting process and never did the official 4.3 update.
Also, in Doc's T999L info thread, could I essentially just revert back to stock using Odin? Or will my non-wiped data be a problem?
Aha! Never mind, everyone. I looked more into it and reverted back to stock using Root66 in Doc's thread.
Anyway, hope this helps anyone in the future if you come across this.
Have a good holiday, yall!
Edit:
So good news bad news, I could finally boot into TWRP 6.2.3.1, but doing a factory reset I still got this: "error: opening data/lost+found"
So I ended up formatting the data. All is well now and that error doesn't show up anymore.
Hope this helps!
Hello I am mostly noob in regards of rom flashing. I have successfully flashed cyanogenmod 10 after rooting my i317. however i decided to revert back today and used clockwork recovery to flash rooted stock rom:
Stock_Rooted_JB_4.1.2_SGH-i317M_(t0ltecan)_signed
continually rebooting.
After that, ever since it has been continually rebooting.
used clockwork to flash back cyanogenmod it still reboots just after finished loading.
tried odin 307 following:
I317-ODIN-UCUBMK6-rooted
Also reboting.
Not sure what went wrong. I also cleaned all the caches disk data etc., no avail.
I think flashing Stock_Rooted_JB_4.1.2_SGH-i317M_(t0ltecan)_signed did something wrong to the phone. Is there help avialable regarding this?
For now at least I can get to odin or clockwok using the phone shortcut. Thanks!!!
Do you have an i317 or 317m ? After using ODIN did you do a factory reset using stock recovery

Thread moved to Q&A where it should have been posted originally. Please post in the correct sections, thanks.
I had the same issue. Had to go to samobile.com and download the stock firmware from there and flash it via desktop Odin 3.07. Then from there when I was back on the stock firmware I then flashed a recovery and then rooted it
Backstory - I have been rooting and flashing custom roms for the last 5 years starting with my 1st HTC Evo. So I have a lot of experience.
But this is wearing me out. So I picked up at Note 4 this past Friday. I only got around to rooting it tonight (Hawaii time). (Which is also weird because all of my phones were rooted as soon as I got home. Note 3 rooted only 20 minutes after I left Sprint last year.) Any ways, I have the NK2 build. I rooted using the Chain Fire method and I flashed TWRP 2.8.3. Did a full wipe and tried to flash Bonsai the deodex version. TWRP kept rebooting every time I tried to flash the rom.
Does anybody have any ideas on what to do? I haven't tried flashing TWRP 2.8.1 yet though.
I wasn't even aware TWRP updated to to 2.8.3.0 but do see it now. I'm using openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltespr.img downloaded from flashify.
BTW, I don't see a Bonsai NK2 ROM. Try a NK2 ROM. I'm running rooted stock NK2 so don't have a suggestion in regards to custom NK2 ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-nie-stockish-knox-root-sprint-stock-t2919346
Its wasnt labeled Bonsai. It is a NK2 friendly rom. Meh. I guess i still have to look around.
OK that's basically stock NK2 deodexed; didn't mean to steer you away from that. Bad download? Try again.
The weird thing is, i downloaded thru chrome on my laptop and i got a message after it downloaded saying it was a file that is not normally downloaded and asked if i wanted to discard it. Sigh. I hope i can get this on my phone. Thanks for the help
Have Wi-Fi connection available to your phone? Download to phone.
smh. I just noticed that I was trying to flash it off of my sd card. ARGH!!! Thanks for the help samep.
