i had the same problem.. and unfortunately i had no cwm backup. I resolved it by flashing one of the custom roms (ARHD in particular).. I am assuming your sg note 2 is rooted and u have cwm recovery.. so you can still boot into recovery by holding volume up , power and home simultaneously then backup. subsequently after flashing with custom rom and your phone is booting , you can do advanced restore and restore data only.. hope it works

CWM - ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) for Samsung Galaxy Note 2
For your case, try to install your firmware again with Odin.

Your original issue was that chainefire 3d does not work on jelly bean phones. So avoid installing it after you are able to restore lol

The note 2 comes with jelly bean stock
Were you able to install cwm by using jaycooi's link?
That would let you get a custom ROM installed.
Otherwise you could try downloading your stock firmware from Sammobile.com/firmware
Then flashing that through Odin. Could get you back up and running

Here is link to twrp recovery. It is more advanced than cwm. You will have to mess around to find out where everything is in it. But its nice since you can flash multiple files at once.

I have clock world recovery installed during my root process and I am able to use it manually how ever when I attempt to use rom manager its asking me to install it again but it's not giving me the option to select s3 for at&t, and when I try to install a rom manually via recovery mode its saying aborted.

i had a similar issue to this a couple days ago. i was getting install aborted status error 7 when trying to flash cm9 nightly. i updated my cwm to the latest version (5.8.4.7) and it worked perfectly. also note that when flashing with cwm v5.8.4.7 you have to flash from internal sdcard. (i got confused by that because i usually flash from external)

[Q] Looking for a solution. Hang after installing CF 3D Pro driver.

Hi all,
I'm a new android user. I just rooted my phone using CF auto root. After that i tried to install CF 3D Pro driver, but my phone hang and i pulled the battery because it stated there to do so if the phone is hang or freeze aftter 2 mins.

If its stock you might wanna do a factory reset.
Better to goto download mode and use odin to flash it.

I've tried the factory reset from recovery mode but its not working, the phone still hang on the 1st page ( samsung galaxy note 2 gt-n7100 ).
Can u pls explain in detail how to flash using odin. *sry i'm really a noob.
Im not an expert but maybe you can try flashing a downloaded stock rom ?
You may want to read the tutorial from dr.ketan in the development section, its a good one.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I had this problem before. Unfortunately, unless you have a CWM backup to fall back on, then really your only option is to use Odin to flash back to stock. CF3D isn't working for the note 2 yet.
Do not install chainfire 3D on the note 2, it makes it hang on boot screen !

I did the same thing with my S3 running JB and the CF 3D pro Nvidia driver, your only option is to flash a stock rom and start over, did you make a Nandroid backup of your stock rom before you flashed CFpro? For the record I've not managed to get CFpro working on JB on any device get stuck boot. From memory not sure Chainfire is going to update it to JB seems to have abandoned it.

Not true if you have CWM recovery flashed.
In that case the solution is :
- boot to recovery
- connect from PC with adb shell
- mount all partitions in recovery
- find a file called something like cf3d-uninstall.sh which was installed by cf3d
- run the script
Now you'll boot no prob.

[HELP THREAD] Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T210 | Ask any question | Noob friendly

Hello guys. I created this thread because I just want to help users help with problems regarding to Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T210. Write down your problems/issues/questions about device (development, bugs, etc...) and I'll try my best to help you.
Can I flash a t210r stock ROM to my t210.
The reason for this, is I cant get xbmc to run on my t210, however, over on the xbmc forums, there are a number of people running it successfully on the t210r. Through logcat, i have been able to determine that the issue is caused by a faulty display driver for the Vivante GC1000. I'm pretty convinced that the display driver on the t210r is not faulty, as others are able to get it to work.
the only way to check this, is to run a t210r firmware on the t210, but I dont want to brick it

Hi khalequesu, I guess you used pre-rooted kernel, which is an older one and newer devices seem to have problems with this. Have a look at my RocketTab thread. The included kernel will give you back the bootanimation. Moving apps to sd is still not supported in any ROM so far, but you can use an app called Folder Mount, details are in post no. 3 of my thread.

Anyone wanna Help me ? I've got SMT210 All drivers are installed and up to date, but when i boot into Download mode it (the device) is not shown in ODIN v3.07, and yes i hear the noise when a device is plugged in, I'm on stock firmware tried using different wires and different usb ports.

Random Problem
Hi,
I have a (pretty major) issue - I got my tab (T210), rooted it straight outta the box with one of the first few versions of CMW for this device and installed Rocket Tab with the Blackhawk kernel.
Now the thing doesnt work properly; as in the touch screen is ridiculously slow, often doesnt work at all and it's basically impossible to use. I've reflashed, wiped, remounted, recovered every kernel and ROM for this thing and I cant fix it.
Obviously I'd sent it back but my status is 'custom' and my flash count is at 5 or 6 i think. Triangle Away doesnt work with this device (yet?) so no way to get it back to stock.
Anyone got any ideas?

Try older firmware for your country. Flash with Odin. Then do a software update OTA. Check in download mode, if download counter is reset. This helped me to reset my tab.

From all the all roms I have seen, its not available yet...
And as for the patch I was thinking of trying it but im afraid of bricking my phone. You can flash that rom as long as the rom doesnt install two files( which are carrier related). I just cant remember what files. Just read in that thread and look for those files. when u download the rom use root explorer and check that the rom doesnt have them in there.
Let me know how it goes ?

So to confirm, you tried the patch at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086394 and you got stuck on the flashing Samsung logo? Me being the noob that I am, I (stupidly) decided to simply go ahead and flash the N7100 version on my L900 following the instructions for the N7100 (original) varient. It of course bricked me, never got anything beyond the flashing Samsung logo, just does that forever until I pulled the battery.
However, by attempting to flash it I seem to have created other problems and here's where I'm stumped. I am now unable to restore my TWRP Nandroid I made of my stock rooted MK4 before flashing, restoring that results in getting stuck at the flashing Samsung logo (again). It doesn't matter what options I restore in TWRP (System, Boot, Data, etc) it has the same result: the flashing Samsung logo forever and ever and ever. I read somewhere that 4.4 (the DN3 ROM) messes with partitions because it enables multi user support...could that have anything to do with it? The only way I have been able to get my device back working is flashing stock unrooted MD4 TAR through Odin. I'd really rather not start from scratch though on my settings and everything though, and the only backup I have is that Nandroid, no Titaniums or anything else. Can you help me restore the Nandroid or is it a lost cause?

I am now unable to restore my TWRP Nandroid I made of my stock rooted MK4 before flashing, restoring that results in getting stuck at the flashing Samsung logo (again). It doesn't matter what options I restore in TWRP (System, Boot, Data, etc) it has the same result: the flashing Samsung logo forever and ever and ever. I read somewhere that 4.4 (the DN3 ROM) messes with partitions because it enables multi user support...could that have anything to do with it? The only way I have been able to get my device back working is flashing stock unrooted MD4 TAR through Odin. I'd really rather not start from scratch though on my settings and everything though, and the only backup I have is that Nandroid, no Titaniums or anything else. Can you help me restore the Nandroid or is it a lost cause?

You will have to do odin back to stock. Then odin a recovery and restore your nandroid.

Did that...still results in flashing Samsung logo hang up when I restore the Nandroid with TWRP . I really haven't the slightest clue why this is happening, as my phone is currently running stock unrooted MK4 flashed from ODIN just fine.

I see your problem. Twrp does not backup or restore 4.3 properly. You need to use Philz 6.07.9

I'm working with eteam to port dn3 4.4.2 kitkat to AT&T tmobile and 7105, we are almost there. It's running solid. I may then consider porting it to vzw and sprint

Well I haven't installed Philz recovery yet, but considering my Nandroid was made with TWRP will Philz even see it? The only reason I ask is because IIRC Philz is based off of TWRP, no? What I'm getting at here is that I'm pretty sure Nandroids from different recoveries, for example CWM and TWRP are completely incompatible right?
If I can't restore the backup I made from TWRP in Philz am I dead in the water? If so, I guess I learned my lesson, that is to have a contingency plan such as Titaniums in place (particularly for settings). I guess I really didn't expect a Nandroid to just fail spectacularly...if TWRP really is completely borked up with backup/restore on 4.3 it would be nice if they had a warning somewhere in the recovery or on their site. I would think that would be kind of important to know before you try to use a backup made using their recovery...

Okay lets cover the backup types first. Philz will backup/restore in both twrp and cwm format but you have to select the option. Now about your backup it will still be no good since it was created with twrp.
