Bricked, help if possible.

So I had the new evil rom V7 installed already, but I noticed the media server thing eating up a good bit of battery, so I wanted to wipe everything from my phone. I ended up wanting to encrypt everything then wipe the phone so I everything would be gone. I moved my backups off my phone, and my pics and all that as I didn't think stuff would go wrong. Anyway partway through the encryption process it failed, said it had to reset the phone and that that would wipe all user data, and to try to encrypt again, well every everytime I tried to reset(it was the only thing the phone would let me do) it would end up giving me the same message.I wiped data/factory reset in hopes that I could then see install via external sd as an option, cause I couldnt see that. I now can get to clockwork recovery but am unable to install via zip, and it doesnt show my external sd card as an option. In panic of trying anything that could help me, in cmr I wiped the system data, and cache, but yeah I dont know if theres anything that can be done. Any sugguestions?
more info, at boot it just hangs at the wicked logo.

Have you tried to mount the external sd card ?

If you are using TWRP, sideload a ROM to it and flash that. I think even from CWM you can adb push a ROM to your internal memory. If all else fails, reboot to download mode and ODIN back to stock.

Odin'ing a stock image/package may be a littler easier for me, im a complete novice when it comes to ADB..etc

Well I was able to what I think successfully use Odin to flash stock firmware. The only thing I question is that, I still have all of my pictures that were stored on the phones internal memory.
In stock 3e recovery I also have more options rather then just wipe/factory reset and clear cache....

You really should Google how to use adb, there are some great tutorials from XDA. Everyone is a nub at first. Lol.
Flashing stock doesn't wipe the internal memory, it just does the normal wipes and formats system.

[Q] Fail to flash any rom in my Note 2 sgh i317

Hello guys,
It's my first question to the forum. I hope you can give me a clue resolve this problem.
I bought a Note 2 SGH i317 some days ago.
It was my first root but with your trheads everything was ok (for some days).
I tried JediX, Custom Rom 4.2.5 and some other.
But after tried some custom roms, I noted that when I flash any rom the phone stucks on Samsung Galaxy Note II screen and I have to pull out the battery to turn off the phone.
I tried with many others roms and all did the same.
Later I realized that the flash process was very fast compared to the first ones, so I guess the flash proccess fails in some instance.
I returned to stock rom and root it again with same results.
I tried with CVM and TWRP.
I can restore some nandroid backups to get the phone working, but can't flash any rom now!
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Did you wipe the data/wipe the cache partition and clear the dalvik cache? I would start with those things.

Hi.
Yes. I did every step.
Sometimes I wipe both before and after flashing rom.
In some cases I format /system also.
I'm thinking in format some special partition/folder, but I don't know where to start or if it will works...

Not sure what went wrong. I would search through the forums for anything similar to the issue that you're having. If all else fails I'd flash the stock firmware via Odin. Good luck!

If flashing stock rom doesn't help, your internal memory might be corrupted, and might need to format it through recovery.
It's not a sure thing but it's another option to troubleshoot your problem. If you're gonna try that, make sure to backup all your stuff

I think that something like that is the real problem.
Must I format /storage/sdcard0 or format everything except my external card?
By the way, how can the internal memory becames corrupt?

It's hard to say what made it corrupt (if at all, remember, this is only an assumption). Could've been an app that caused it, could've been flashing a custom rom, and something went wrong during the flashing process.
If you're using twrp (which i highly suggest you do), in the 'wipe' menu there's an option to wipe internal sd. DON'T FORGET! before you do this make a nandroid backup and keep that backup on your external sd, or on your computer. Also, backup all your stuff, like pictures, music, etc.

I'm using CWM right now, because I thought that TWRP could be part of the problem.
I have two backups with CWM and two with TWRP, An one complete with Titanium also!

The only thanks you could give is just hitting the thanks button on my answers to you. But you don't really have to, it's entirely up to you. If you think my responses are helpful to you, then by all means ... In order to close a thread you could ask a moderator to do so. I'm not sure you're obligated to do so.
Btw, if cwm gives you an md5 error, could be most likely because you changed the name cwm has originally assigned to that backup. To solve this, just change it to what it was. If you didn't change the backup name, you could try going into advanced menu in cwm and toggle signature check to disable

You can mount it via usb to your computer, put a rom on your sd, go in abs rewipe cache, dalvik, data, and system and flash your rom. Bam good to go.
I do this once in a while to get rid of old system files. Different roms and apps use internal storage so after a month or two you can free up a good gig

Have you made any backups? backups by default are stored internally and each one takes around 3gb... check your cwm folder on your internal storage with a file manager... honestly Ive never had to do anything extreme to free up space.. all ive done is browse the internal and find what exactly is taking up space.
Debloat and remove any system apps you dont use or wont need. and while minimal you can also delete ringtones, alarms and notifications youll never use.
you can also use foldermount to move game and app data n such to the external sd card.
as far as the bootanimation its easy enough to replace by moving the bootanimation zips over manually with a file manager, set permissions, and reboot. no flashing necessary.

ty 4 your response

The CWM backup folder is pretty well hidden unless you know where to look for it... system root-> /data/media/clockworkmod. That is more than likely what's eating your space; in fact, I would be almost positive that is where your space has gone. Either way, factory resets are safe, just realize that you lose ALL your apps + data. Anything saved on your EXTERNAL sd card are safe and won't be deleted though.

You just need clockwork. You'll see the choices in the menus.
It is not what he meant by telling you to erase your emmc. He was teasing you cause doing a wipe is pretty basic.

BTW i cant install anything else on my phone is it ok to put the apps on external sd card without using TiBu?
Also would i need a kernel to flash the Death Star Rom?
i tried flashing the Wicked Rom but it stuck on the samsung s4 logo so i replace it at t-mobile with another which i have now
