I finally decided to root and install a custom rom today
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2, SGH-i317M
The root went fine, but when I flashed in Carbon, it wouldn't let me look at any of the apps and just said "Unfortunately, launcher has stopped."
I waited a bit but this didn't go away. So I decided to reboot and see if it would fix it. It didn't and the next time something else stopped working and I couldn't get back to the homescreen, and the home button did not work. I tried going into recovery and using my backup, but it said there were no files found, I think they got deleted when I wiped the cache by mistake instead of the davlik cache
So now I wanna go back to stock. Right now i'm downloading the stock firmware, should I just use ODIN with this and it'll fix it? Do I need to do anything different in ODIN or is it the same as when I was rooting it?
Which recovery are you using? Did you factory reset, wipe partition cache and wipe dalvik cache?

really should read before posting because a lot of people had the same problems. but dont be discourage because as long as you can get twrp then you are good to go. trust me i am not a developer just a flashahaulic once you get to using custom roms you will understand how great it really is.
alot of times the first time you flash little things might hiccup you panic or reset to soon just turn your phone off then press the volume up, home button and the power hold till the recovery comes up then. now if your did a back up before you started then you can just restore and it will fix the problem. now if you didnt do that trust me i have done it plenty of times before till i relised how important it was to do. just go and down load another rom ( like jedi x} real stable. wipe every thing twice and wipe rom. install new rom and wait it might take a while but wait then you should be good
Thank you everyone, I managed to get my stock back and i'll try to flash a different ROM this time. The issue with Carbon is that I needed GAPPS or some random thing, it didn't even say on the front thread and they don't even have a guide, so it's super newbie unfriendly. I should have realized that before I did anything.
Good deal in most cases if not all you'll need gapps when flashing any cyanogenmod based ROM. Good luck my friend!

Okay, now I got GAPPS and flashed in Beanstalk rom.
This time, the Android Keyboard (AOSP) is constantly crashing every 5 seconds. I can't even get into Google Play to download another keyboard. What is wrong here? I searched all over and no one else is having this problem.
Which version of gapps do you have? Be sure you've downloaded version 20130301.

sounds like you need to do ALOT more reading, and ALOT less flashing, until you know what you are doing..

I was running stock rooted G.B. 2.3.6 and just to see what would happen (I kinda knew already) I did the official upgrade to the ICS 4.0.3. Of course it went from UVKL1 to UVLE1 and I had backed everything up with Titanium Backup and also with Rom Manager. I lost root, because I did a factory reset because it wouldn't install the first 2 times. Oh, I was doing it through Kies. I wanted to do it by the book sort of.So after the install I tried to get root again but when I got into CWM recovery I had no functions working except reboot. No update.zip from sd, or anything else. I could scroll up and down and stop on the different options but when I pushed the button to make the choice it jumped back to reboot and that is all I can get. I rebooted and retried 4 or 5 times and same thing. So, now what ? I like the 4.0.3 but hate the massive amount of bloat and the ads and f**ked up notification popup/ads. I want my root back. I would be willing to start fresh again with a good, fast, everything works, custom ICS but don't know which to choose. that is one of the reasons why I tried this "official" upgrade. Again, as always, Thanks in advance for everyone who helps anyone here on XDA. K.K.-Out

Thanks ToledoG28, I tried that link and it wasn't a good page. I appreciate the effort. Maybe you could double check it and let me know.
OP: Here's CWM 5.0.2.6. After flashing and once youre back into your phone, you can install ROM manager and upgrade to whatever you want. Push this via Odin.
This happened to me. I had just had to wipe the cache in recovery and it booted. I would try that first
You have to use darkside wipe and darkside cache wipe. The regular recovery wipe isn't working properly.
You just need to Odin ics.

I got it solved you guys. Thanks to all of you. I did another factory reset, and then found the actual T989 Hercules .tar file (the one I used was from a post for ICS from November or December and was actually an Infuse tar file.) and reinstalled it. I was able to after I got cwm recovery old style not touch. Touch was what was giving me problems. So I Odin the new Hercules.tar and then rereinstalled Superuser zip and everything went smooth. The only thing I am seeing as a problem is the phone won't sleep. If I have the phone plugged in, I can't shut it off. It wants to immediately turn itself back on. I like to have it shut down and charge at night sometimes. But it won't let me. Any ideas? Thanks again everybody.
First a little background. I am not new to the android world whatsoever. I don't post much but have been lurking for years. I had a Verizon GS3 and just recently switched to T-Mobile a few days ago and obviously bought a T-Mobile GS3. My vzw phone had no problems. But for some reason my T-Mobile phone will not boot any kernel I try to flash. Roms flash fine but when I flash a kernel everything goes fine in recovery but my phone won't boot past the splash and I end up having to restore a backup. I know I'm flashing the right kernels. I am on touchwiz based ROMs and haven't tried any aosp Rom because for the first time ever I actually prefer an OEM skin to aosp. So basically am I missing something obvious. Anyone else having thus problem. On Verizon I had to root and unlock the bootlosder. From what I understand tmobiles bootliader was not locked down and all I had to do was root. Like I said. I've tried every touch wiz Rom and every touch wiz kernel with each Rom and none will boot past the splash screen. I always wipe dalvik and cache but even tried wiping data every time too and keep getting the same result. Any input would be appreciated. . Thanks in advance.

Shouldn't need to do any wiping of any kind. I only use AOSP/AOKP, though. May I ask why you even bother with custom kernels? They honestly seem like a waste of time to me.
Im just flash happy. Like to try them out. I've been on Verizon for many Years and am used to the developers over there. I'm still getting used to the devs over here. Don't know any of there work. I'm sure its all good though. Been using imoseyons lean kernel since the thunderbolt back in the day and have stuck with them. Just my personal preference. I'd like to try some of tmobolrs kernel devs work but like I said I can't get a single one to boot.

What kernels have you tried to flash? There are a couple that have ICS builds. Also, what version of CWM are you using?
I've tried all the tw kernels. Every single one with 2 different ICS tw ROMs. I'm not using the leaked jb tw. I'm stickung with the more stable ICS ROMs for now. I just don't understand. I've tried every one. I've been flashing a long time and don't get it. Im kinda new to Samsung though. First Samsung was the galaxy nexus. Didn't ever use Odin with it. Does anyone flash kernels with Odin. Maybe I should try that. And to answer your question I've tried twrp and the latest version of cwm from rom manager. And of course I'm using the ICS TW version of the kernels im trying.

It could just be your phone doesn't like them. There is another guy on CM10 and AOKP that can't get custom kernels to boot either.

The kernel source code was never released for any build from UVALH2 and beyond. So most of our kernels will only work with UVALEM and UVALG1 builds.
We got kind of lucky I think and ktoonsez att kernel was brought over and works. I think there's one or two others that work now too.
As far as described here go I think we've got some of the best! For an outstanding rom you should try FreeGS3. It works with most of the kernels and is an awesome stable rom. If you want a later build try wildcards XquiziT v70 based on UVALH2. Use ktoonsez kernel with it.
And just to note, the stock kernel is surprisingly good. So give it a fair shot as well. Though I can definitely see some potential advantages of custom ones as well.

Whatever you do................
Be sure to double check before you flash that kernel. Had my first SGS3 for 12 days before hard brick set in. Terrible disease it is.......! I had to adopt a replacement shortly after to cope with the pain of the loss. Back on my feet again now though and soarin' higher than giraffe vagina on the things I learned in my days off for mourning. I can tell ya I've personally flashed the lean kernel and kt-747 with no issues. My problems were with siya mainly.
Guys, I have a serious problem.
It's similar to the one of the thread-opener.
The diference is that I cant get ANY ROM to boot, WITH the stock kernel.
And i do like the guide says: wipe/factory reset, wipe chache, wipe dalvik cache and then flash the ROM.
Everything works fine til the ROM finished flasing and runs a reboot.
My S3 shuts down screen, then turns screen on with the "Samsung Galaxy SIII-GT-I9300" and then thats it!
All i can do is to go in download mode or recovery mode. I can also flash CWM and so on, but after flashing ROMs it won't boot!
Is it possible that i broke the device by formating internal sd-card with the stock recovery tool?
Did it, after I tried to install Wickedv6 ROM and after both times when it rebooted it just reinstalled stock ROM. So i thought, ok delete the internal sd-card, so no stock ROM on it any more.
Also tried this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875923

Also tried to fix the problem by rooting and then flashing ROM. No help.
Please help guys!

The forum you got that stock rom from is the international one. This is the US Tmobile T999 forum. The two phones are NOT compatible.
Only flash, well...anything, from that forum. Our roms will brick yours and vice versa.

Hey fellow gnex community! I recently left stock rom due to freezes and random reboots. I've tried out various rom and kernel combinations this week such as xylon/AK, Purity/AK, AOKP/franco/lean, CM10.1/trinity/franco, Rasbean/trinity, PA/lean/franco/trinity/AK and Xenon.
The problem is they all freeze and reboot constantly after 2 minutes of use. I never changed the kernel settings and this is only happening on 4.2.1 roms. My favorite rom/kernel combo would be purity/AK, Xylon/AK but they freeze, wifi disconnects and never connects back and reboots constantly.
So the question is why is this happening to my phone recently and are there specific kernel settings that will stabilize the roms or is it just my phone?
Any help would be great,
thanks.
I haven't had that problem before, and I have flashed several roms (though not a custom kernel in a while)
Faulty hardware perhaps?

I've done that twice already and usually wipe after it freezes but then still happens
Are you sure you know how to flash? Not trying to offend but it saves a lot of time if your a noob.
I currently wipe dalvik cache 3x, cache 3x, and factory reset 3x in twrp. I read somewhere its safer to wipe like this or use super wipe scripts or w.e
I am running the latest rasbeanjelly with latest rasbean gapps and latest lean kernel. I haven't had any resets and haven't tweak anything. May I also add that when I do get errors with roms normally when I flash extra mods I always go back to recovery and hit fix permissions. Idk why but it does solve some issues.
Good luck
Sent from a slice of Galaxy Nexus with some Rasbean Jelly!
lol. Ya I've been flashing roms for like a year and it's only recently these issues are popping up. I do pretty much what everyone does - wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash rom, flash gapps and flash kernel. I never use mods so nothing to worry about there.
Try flashing rom and gapps only without a custom kernel.
If you've fully formatted your drive, have updated recovery, and are positive you have good downloads then your problem is most likely hardware related
Try the kernel cleaner script before flashing/changing between kernels.
It's a cwm flashable .zip.
Alright will do as suggested
How about fastboot flashing the stock rom's .img-es? (Galaxy Nexus ToolKit is the easiest way to do it)

Alright so it seems like the rom HumberOS with built in kernel did the job. Been using the phone for about 4 hours non stop and no freezes or reboots so far. Finally something stable for my phone! Thanks for the help everyone!
update: After a day without any hiccups on the humber os rom, my phone finally froze and rebooted. Since I was using cwm, I decided to see if twrp would solve the problem. I restored my phone to stock and started from scratch by installing twrp. Then I decided to give PA a try and to my surprise no reboots or freezes at all but will have to wait a day to confirm.

You did restore the factory images by running the update script included in the package right? This will make sure all data is up to date.. Fastboot erase all partitions first as well..

yup did all that and everything seems to be going fine so far
So... what would be causing the problem you think?
You installed TWRP and PA both at the same as I can read in the previous posts?
So that way we will never know if it's a recovery problem, or ROM problem...
Well, as long as your device doesn't freeze and/or reboot we should be happy I guess.
I haven't posted enough to be able to ask this question in the development section - I usually find the answers I'm looking for and never feel the need to post - but I started having a lot of problems w/ my phone today.
First off, the ROM I just flashed is the latest Wicked Sensations. Everything was fine for the last 2 days, but this afternoon, the thing started going haywire everytime I would touch the screen. It's like there were multiple screen presses within the same area that I had just touched. When that wasn't happening, it would take a few moments before it would allow any touch input and be ok for a few seconds before going haywire w/ the ghost screen touches. (I know, shotty description.)
Just wondering if it's possibly my phone, the ROM, or if anyone else experienced this. I saw no one else that had in that thread so I'm wondering where I should go from here. Reflash, new ROM, throw the phone against the wall...?
Thx!
Make backup in recovery
Then wipe EVERYTHING, system, data, internal sdcard (if you have nothing.you.need) and cache
Note reflash your rom and wait a day or two before restoring any apps/data

I will reflash, but I have a question about making a backup - if I make a backup of it as it is now, won't it save whatever may be causing it to glitch like this?
FYI - When I flashed the ROM, I wiped everything through TWRP but don't remember if the option for the internal sdcard was checked, or if there was an option. I didn't save any old apps so I didn't restore anything. Once I had what I wanted, I made a backup within the hour. Would that be a possibility next to reflashing the ROM again (restoring from this backup)?

Hmm, you could try that, add long add it was a full clean flash
And in TWRP when you choose Wipe > Advanced Wipe, it gives you a series of check boxes to choose what to write and if you choose /data, it wipes /data/media too which is the internal storage

Guess I didn't read enough
Well last night it took all of about 2hrs before the touch sensitivity went haywire again, so just for the h3ll of it I tried another ROM. That time the bad effects were immediate.
I'm now on the backup I made of the stock and rooted ROM which gives me no problems. Not sure what in the updates could be causing the problem but I would hate to hear that I'm up the creek w/out a paddle.
Going to try installing the system updates after I remove root unless there's another suggestion.
Thanks for any advice.

Hmm, could have been a bad download
could have been a bad rom download. try re downloading the rom. maybe transfer it to your phone with a diferent cable. heck, maybe restart your computer first and try doing these steps again. something you might want to try also, after you flash your phone and restart it let it sit 5 minutes or so before touching it as the rom needs to finish building caches doing it's thing,
I don't think it's ROM related b/c when I went to recovery after that latest flash...Well I just happened to be using the latest TWRP and since it's touch operated, well it was a fun time trying to work w/ it while the screen was going haywire. Point is, it did it in recovery, too.
My thoughts are this - try installing system updates like 'normal' and if nothing goes wrong w/ the screen, then try a ROM but skip the part of clearing the system data and only wipe cache and dalvik.
How does that sound?

I was going to throw out hardware issue too. @ the op, does stock still not give you the ghost touch issue still? If it doesn't, then I'm not sure entirely. I'd recommend using a different recovery and checking the md5 of your rom then do a completely clean flash. Maybe your phone just doesn't play nicely with twrp
Sent from my SPH-L710
Yes, I was thinking hardware too but I'm just confused as to why it's only w/ updated software that it goes goofy. That's why I was thinking of trying the updates on the stock ROM to see if that was where the problem was. If it is, then I'm insured and should be able to take it in to the Sprint store.
With the original ROM I first tried, I tried 4 different downloads and when I first noticed the problem, that's when I went to the Wicked Sensations ROM. These all included the most recent OTA.
Btw.. I mostly download to my phone via my WiFi. I did try pc to phone in that ROM that I downloaded several times, but it was still the same.

I've only tried TWRP in the last couple days b/c it was suggested in the installation instructions of the particular ROMS. Would like to know why.
I like it, but CWM has never done me wrong.
Flashed the updated stock rom from this thread and kept root w/ the zip that's on that thread. Nothing's happening, of course, which is not only confusing but irritating.
Just downloaded the last ROM I tried last night onto my laptop and will transfer it and try it again after I make a backup of its current state. Will also take the suggestion of letting it sit for several minutes before seeing if the ghost is still following me.

Always check md5 of Rom downloads, that will rule out a bad download

Personally, I would resort to odin and start from a fresh slate. See if you can wipe the system and internal storage from twrp(or cwm), then flash the stock image and go through the whole rooting process (using the toolbox). That way, you can rule out software related issues if it's still a problem. Also, I'd see if it's still there before rooting..that's what I would do...

My bad... You JUST said you basically did that...
I did as I said I was going to do and flashed the stock. Lost my recovery so I tried Odin for the first time and put it back on there and proceeded to make a backup of its current state.
A few hours later I went ahead and flashed the new from I transferred over and I'm happy to say that everything is allll good... so far.
Never had any problems on the updated stock so it doesn't seem to be hardware related but it took a couple days later on one rom which is when I originally posted.

So I installed Skynote 4.3 Edition RC8-1 Base followed all instructions... phone starts up fine first time but once I reboot to install the update to V8.2 it just sits at the GN 2 Logo the only way to get it to fully reboot is to do a complete re-wipe and flash again. What am I doing wrong? It does not do this with any other ROM. Phone is the AT&T GN 2. PLEASE HELP ME!
Sounds like user error sorry to say.
Imho
I haven't seen or heard anything like this in that thread.:what:
And I've been there since it started...
START over full wipe of everything 3x including INTERNAL storage...
Flash Rom 8.1 base let it sit for 10 minutes. Set it up play store etc.
TRY and reboot to recovery. Wipe C/D cache, flash update 8.2 reboot.
Let it sit again for like 5 mins. Then flash what ever add on's you'll like to add in...

Im having this same issue. Ive also had this issue with another rom. Ive done every type of wipe available and it will boot once, but then on reboot it bootloops. Ive tried with and without airview.
Its nice to know I'm not the only one. I reflashed CleanROM 5.0 and no problems.

Had the same problem, never solved it, went to clean Rom
Honestly this condition is frustrating...
I went through the same issue a few months ago...but a full return to stock and re-rooting seemed to solve the issue for me ..
Mileage may vary of course ...g

Skynote has a new update and as long as you FOLLOW stated install procedures you shouldnt have any issues. Tip: using the 1click option in the skynote thread will return your device to stock from there reroot and flash your desired rom... your welcome
