Hey guys i have a problem for 3 weeks now and would love some pro advice.I glashed a slim bean 4.2.2 v6 around 3.5 weeks back and used it for some week and then wanted to change my rom to stock touchwiz just by restoring but it didnt as after installing almost all apps it said failed /data.
Now after that i tried to install moon rom but it didnt flash properly and in middle of flashing i went into cwm mode and by mistake instead of restoring backed up that rom.
Then after i installed hawkish rom and then omega rom v17 and in all roms i cleaned cache and dalvik and did a full wipe but still cant restore hawkish,omega or any other rom except slim bean.
Now iam not sure what is wrong but feel something coz of slim rom?
Any advice for me on how can i get this problem sorted.
Thanks guys for help.

Well seems I have a bit of an issue with switching Roms.
I am currently running vicious v1 for toro devices . Every time I try and switch to another ROM, I get stuck in a boot loop over and over again.
I can't reflash the original version of vicious ROM once it happens. The only way to fix it is to restore from a backup.
Any ideas folks?
Edit:
I am able to flash fruits and veggies ROM on the phone but when I try to flash the gapps ( any set both ics and jb) it goes into the boot loop again.
I am using cwm touch.

Why not just go back to stock and wipe everything

You're obviously using a custom recovery. Just restore the backup you made before all this flashing.

I would just backup everything using your own recovery then flashing the stock firmware again and restoring your apps from the backup or if you want google now this rom has it working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836108
Use titanium back up to back up your apps. If on CWM 5.xx, use darkside super wipe, reflash stock rom or a any custom t989 rom. If help needed with flashing, explore the dev section for more info.

Do a factory reset. Just back up your apps before you do it.

Hey guys, im rooted on stock jb for tmobile with stock recovery. I wanna get custom recovery and flash back to ics and use a custom rom like wicked v7.
To do this do I just download goo manager, install its recovery, wipe then flash? Or do I have to change the firmware etc?
Sorry, I usually search for my solutions but im read mixed stuff on reverting and I really dont wanna brick this thing. I even kinda forgot how to do all this since I havent touched my old sensation in months.
Thanks guys.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yup.
If you're rooted, 1. download goo manager 2. install openrecovery script 3. flash ROM of choice. You may need to wipe cache and data if you get a bunch of FC's since you're going back to ICS from JB. Don't forget to do a nandroid (step 2.5).
Already on Frosty ics, but thanks guyss
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
What I would first do is Odin the ics so you have all drivers installed properly then root and flash rom of choice
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I agree with Crisisx1. I know you said you're already running Frosty (I'm a Wicked guy myself) but if you notice any anomalous behavior, I'd definitely Odin to stock ICS and then go through the proper flashing process. This will ensure all of your partitions/drivers are properly set up. GL man.
So far so good, if any weird things happen ill deff odin back, thanks again guys.

Hey guys
I really want to be able to time more than one ROM on my note 2.
I searched for a mod but couldn't find.
What if I make a backup to my PAC ROM and factory reset it and then install Samsung based ROM. then back it up too. Would I be able to switch between them with the restore option in cwm? With no problems whatsoever?

How much time does it take to restore a ROM?
What if the kernel installed is not supporting both ROMs?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
On my note 2 it takes about 4-8 minutes to restore between roms. Nandroid has been my dual boot since hero days
You can backup kernel as well with twrp.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Yea you can backup and restore using TWRP..
Backing up can take like 900 seconds..
Restoring takes like 100 seconds I think..
There should be no problem, there might be some problems but very minor..
I use that to switch between omega ROM v15 (best samsung rom, my opinion) and jellybam 7.1 (best 4.2.2 ROM, my opinion)
Always use TWRP, I don't like CWM..

I cant flash a rom and have it work. I have tried several ROMS like aokp, jedi, smooth, jellybeans, etc and they almost always brick. Jedi worked but google services crashed back to back to back to the point where i couldnt even use the phone. does anyone know of a 4.3 rom that works on att sgh-i317?? i basically went down the list on galaxynote2root.com and tried them all but no success.
I have root, have TWRP installed and flash the rom and it bricks. i factory reset first, then install and nothing.
any ideas?
All of the roms on this forum work.. What are your exact steps?

Have they been tried on sgh-i317?
I did these exact steps:
Rooted phone and installed TWRP recovery
put AOKP Rom on SD card and booted into recovery mode
Wiped/Factory reset through recovery
rebooted into recovery
installed AOKP ROM
booted and bricked- hangs at "X" aokp bootup screen
Have you installed gapps after flashing an aosp rom? I am running carbon rom right now... Earlier today I was on aokp. I have used them all and I have a I317. An att note 2

does not having the gapps installed prevent the phone from booting? ive booted a rom before without gapps and it booted.
was there something wrong with my steps? did you use the aokp milestone or nightlies? where did you get the carbon rom? its all good?
I used the latest aokp nightly. And right now I'm running the newest carbon nightly. I got it from the op of the carbon thread.

I'm using the latest version of twrp recovery. Try updating it?

Download your rom and gapps again using a PC...
Then place the files to your SD using a card adapter if no USB connection is possible...
Then fully wipe the device again from within the latest version of TWRP recovery and flash the new downloads ...
You may have a bad flash ...and you are not bricked...g

I did those exact steps and it did not work. i tried flashing pac man rom the last time and it got stuck in a boot loop too. I think there are some files that are corrupt or some temp files somewhere that are preventing a successful flash. my binary flash count was 9. and that was just on this run, ive tried flashing several times before. each time the only way to recover it is hooking the phone up to a pc and using kies to flash back to stock firmware. this sucks.
What version of twrp are you using? I have never had this issue you are having and I have flashed every rom on this forum for our device.

9 counts ??
Uh....yeh...not right ...
Have you messed with device partitions in ODIN ??
If so...something is definitely wrong ...
At this point ...you may want to consider a full return to stock and allow the PIT to properly restore your partitions..
Just follow the return to stock guide (sticky )...in the general section ..
Once restored to stock with a corrected flash counter you can begin again using CF auto root as your root method..
It sounds as if you have root issues and possible partition damage...
One other step you can try first is to boot into download mode and re-root using CF...
That may help....but certainly won't hurt anything...then attempt a clean flash again..
If it fails ...then the return to stock and rooting again seems prudent ...g
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ok ill try that. When I do the sticky method is that different than using kies to flash to stock? Kies is supposed to wipe everything and reload stock firmware. I agree the partitions are corrupt somewhere

Are u wiping data and system as well in recovery. If you're running TW and u switch to AOSP without wiping everything.....the results most likely wouldn't b pretty

I'm doing a factory reset--> "swipe to wipe". Do I need to do something else?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Kies is not the method I use in returning to stock...as I don't trust it..
Odin is my first choice ...
Using Odin to flash a factory rom will wipe everything as well ...and is far more reliable ...IMHO...g

OK, so i followed these steps perfectly and it did not work. GOt Stuck in a boot loop again. something is corrupt. i used the latest version of clockwork mod and tried to install the latest AOKP nightlies. :crying:
Alright ...
Do you mean that you returned to stock ??
And have rooted again ...??
If yes ..we can dig deeper ...and if not ...proceed with full unroot...g
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I used the sticky on turning your phone back to stock which used odin. I followed that list perfectly which said to flash stock using odin, root using cf then using triangle away, then super user to fully unroot. Then I installed clockword mod recovery, booted to recovery mode, cleared all cache and davlik and factory reset again, then installed the aokp and it got stuck in a boot loop

Here's what I do with twrp when flashing a rom.
Go to wipe menu and then advanced wipe and select dalvik, cache, data, system and internal(optional). I do it three times to make sure. then flash your rom with gapps (if aosp)
