I'm running AOKP with the CMPlus kernel. I want to encrypt my phone. Every time I try to start the encryption an android appears and the phone reboots. Then it doesn't even try to activate encryption. What can I do to get it encrypted?

I guess be glad it is failing. Don't encrypt if on custom rom, it will become difficult to flash ever again (without a full device wipe) and nandroids won't even work after.
good day.

I'm aware of the difficulty that cones with encryption but since I rooted to record business calls, encryption is a really good idea. Any idea how to get it working? Thanks

Don't use a custom kernel, report issue to AOKP dev team.

I didn't know you couldn't use a custom kernel. I'll try it with straight AOKP
Edit: Even with the stock kernel from AOKP it fails. Phone just reboots. AOKP site also seems to be down right now.

Try going back to stock recovery and see if encryption works. Also, you could try twrp and see if it works there as well.

I'll try TWRP first, but if that fails, how do I get stock recovery back? (I'm using the GSM maguro if that makes a difference)

To get stock recovery, find your stock 4.0.4 google image and flash the recovery using fastboot.

Even with stock recovery it doesn't work.

Try going back to stock 4.0.4 ics and encrypting there. If it works, there are some test recoveries that support encryption and you could possibly flash a custom rom on top of it.

Thanks for the warning but I'm aware of that. The latest TWRP can work with encrypted /sdcard though. Plus if I get stuck, I'm told "fastboot erase userdata" will format /sdcard and remove the encryption.
I have recently purchased a galaxy note 2 and as I was reading the original development forums as a non-member I came across a cyanogen 10.1 port! I flashed this onto my phone along with the gapps for 4.1.2 this caused my phone to boot in and have error messages everywhere and I could not get out of them!!! I am going into panic mode!!! Is there any way to undo what I did?! I have not been able to find a stock rom for ATT that allows for a reset with Odin!? So is there any way to get me out of this predicament!?

Hit the thanks button on accident. Scott aka scrosler posted a rooted deodexed stock rom with the OTA from yesterday in the development section. Do a clean install and you should be ok.

Really sounds like you need to stop. Read. Read some more. And then some more. Before you brick your phone. The rom jyazzie mentioned is flashed the same way you put cm10.1 on your phone.

I have read as much as possible! the way I put it was incorrect I have no way of accessing my phone because as soon as I boot up it says there was an error starting gapps then it continues to say this indefinitely... so the only way to install any sort of fix for this would be from my computer!

To flash the rom by scrosler is the exact same way you flashed cm10. Before you do anything I suggest you take a few hours and read this over and over until you know what you are doing.

If you flashed cm 10.1 on your phone there is no way you have a stock recovery. Unless you've done something else that you haven't told us. I think we need more info.

I have a rogers Note 2 with twrp recovery, and flashed many different roms in the past.
yesterday i tried to flash http://rootzwiki.com/topic/40138-rom422-jdq39e715-official-uxylon-beta/
and it boot looped then corrupted my sd card.
eventually i had to restore my phone to factory via odin.
i then rooted again and tried the official PA rom, boot loop again
then i triedXenonHD rom, boot loop again.
the only rom that installed correctly is clean rom.
but i really wanted to go to 4.2.2
any one have any ideas
Wipe dalvik and cache after flashing it and reflash your modem.
Card corrupted when it is formatted to exfat you will need to use fat32 format.
You can still fix your corrupted sd without losing your data by doing steps from link below.

Yes i tried a full wipe, although usually i don't need to do that.
and I am on the most recent version of TWRP. I even tried downgrading TWRP.
So far it looks like i can't install 4.2.2 roms.

Ya instructions are all relatively the same and I've never had any problems before.
although I've noticed TWRP is acting weird. it doesn't show the filesystem properly. I have to navigate to /data/media/ to get to the internal sd.
I wish Clockwork had an official release for the rogers not 2

HELP!! I think i bricked my AT&T Canadian Note 2 with 16gb rooted with stock rom and stock kernel
SO i was playing dead trigger and wanted to gave tegra 3 optimizations so i downloaded Chainfire 3D from the play store and i installed the drivers and it rebooted my note 2, but it's stuck at the Galaxy Note 2 logo!! I can still use vol up+home+power and vol down+home+power, i tried factory reset in CWM, still stuck, tried flashing new rom (CM, AOKP) still stuck, so now i just want my phone back up and running again. Anyone know how to fix it problem? I don't need any apps or data back or root back, just back up and running again. Oh and charging still shows the battery picture, and i can still turn off my phone.

Why do so many people on xda have such a hard time understanding what "bricked" means.
If you can easily fix it, then it isn't "bricked"
It's bricked if it has to go for jtag
If you read the description for chainfire 3d, it distinctly says "not compatible with ICS/Jellybean" so theres your problem why u have troubles... a factory reset might not be the fix. ODIN may be the only way.

Yeah it's because they can't get the phone to come back on. So that's why they think it's bricked. Plus it's the only word they know and heard of. There's also soft brick, stuck in a loop, etc. But most of the time when the phone stops working correctly, most thinks it's bricked! Lol

For me, even "soft brick" is a stupid term..
A phone is either bricked or not bricked. If it is bricked, there is no fixing it imo (other than jtag)
Odin will fix this, this happened to my S2 while I'm on JB. Just download the latest odin, and the stock rom of your Note 2, probably you can find the rom on sammobile, google will help you out, PM me if you need any assistance. Just relax, it's not broken.

Ok so I need 4.1.2 of Jellybean, I still don't know what Odin is though
Anyways, i tried factory reset too and it seems like nothing happened
So I rooted my Sprint Note 2 using ODIN and everyone's great post. Then I broke my screen and had to do an insurance claim. I then rooted my new phone using the same method -CF-Auto-Root-t0ltespr-t0ltespr-sphl900.tar found out the next day that my headphone jack on the refurbished POS assurance sent me was bad. So I attempted to flash a stock rom (like everyone I could find) so I could have Sprint service center fix it. But now my phone will flash the samsung note 2 screen and then go black. I guess my question is does it matter which stock rom I load? can someone explain the letters and numbers after each file MC2,MA7,PAM LJ1 and so on, which one should I be looking for and what is my next move? I just need to get back to stock rom and a working phone so I can go up there and get mad at someone long enough to get a new phone. I know I'm a noob and there are post that have detailed explanations on flashing stock roms but I have read everyone I could find relating to the l900 which I have come to think is Sprints NOTE II but I am lost and extremely frustrated just want a working phone again. If this helps when my phone was working I was running Macs Allstar ROM shout-out because it is pretty sweet and I remeber it was once on 4.1.2 but the state its in now I dont know please give me a suggestion.
So you were on Macks Rom All Star before you tried to flash the stock rom? If thats the case then you were on MA7 or possibly MC2. Which stock rom did u try to flash? Also can u get into custom recovery still?

Stock recovery or custom? Just making sure you can get into either Twrp or Cwm recovery before you flash billiards stock recovery Rom MC2. Its under Sprint Note 2 Android development. Download it. Verify Md5 and place on your external sd card. Go into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, n factory reset each 3 times ( on twrp) Install rom. After its done installing hit reboot system. Might ask you if you want to fix root permissions. Hit yes and let its do its thing and it will boot up to stock rom and ready to turn in to sprint with no trace of root or modding.

Flashed TWRP using odin and copied the Billiard TWRP file it asked me to reboot and then warns me there is no OS do I continue? It also ask if I want to Install SuperSu which would then root my phone yes or no?/

After you installed twrp and put rom on sd card did you boot into recovery and install rom?
Edit: what steps have u taken so far? Where are you currently?

yes that just stayed on screen tried using Odin and flash the file you had circled on pick and got same result but now im thinking maybe I should have wiped system three times before flashing odin file? I will just wait until you recommend my next move.
Here is where I am at...Installed rom using TWRP. got impatient after a few minutes of looking at the boot screen so I pulled battery went into odin mode downloaded circled file via odin (without wipe or factory reset) and now I am stuck on boot screen going on 5 minutes now. I ll wait.lol

If you have twrp installed already theres no reason to go back into odin. Just pull battery. Enter twrp recovery and install again. Wipe data. Cache. Dalvik. 3 times and install rom again. Hit reboot system after it installs. Click fix root permissions if it asks and let it boot up.

You were trying the MC2 one right? Your baseband is LJ1 so could be why you were getting stuck. I would try the LJC version and see if it boots up for you. Make sure your verifying md5 of the file so you know its a good download.
Edit: charge your phone also to make sure you have enough juice in case you have to try again.
