So, first off, just wanna say that I have a RIDICULOUS amount of experience with flashing roms. Literally over 100 different devices and 1000s of different flashes of my own devices on top of it. Quite familiar with this S2 as well and have customized them to all sorts of extents, but this one has me baffled. This phone refuses to run 4.2.2/4.3/4.4.x roms. Using the most up to date radio and the suggested TWRP (2.6.1.0) as well as CWM 6.0.44 and the newer TWRP: 2.6.3.0. Every time the phone will get to the set up screen, refreeze and boot. No issues running stock or stock based 4.1.2 roms. I've tried changing recoveries, wiping everything (/system, /data, /caches) repeatedly, Odin back to stock and redoing everything, switching kernels, wiping caches before rebooting and leaving it be, changing batteries, etc but nothing has worked. So far I've tried BlackLiquid 2.92 (4.2.2 stable), Awesome Audio rom (4.3), official CM11 (whatever the last build up was last night), and BeanStalk 4.4.2 (12/16) and all behave exactly the same - freeze on start up and reboot. This doesn't seem to be much of a widespread issue obviously, so just baffled and getting a bit frustrated as this should have been a 20 minute process that has turned into a few hours already. Since USB Debugging isn't on by default on newer roms, how would I even do a logcat to see if there is anything meaningful there? Any ideas?
Update: I have another S2. Performed same steps, same TWRP, same radio and rom, on same external SD card and that one booted right up like normal confirming that it is the phone itself, but what causes that?? Corrupted partitions?
I have the same problem, just format your internal and external sd card with just ROM file on your storage then try to install, than please inform me

Nope. No luck there (only tried Beanstalk so far, but exact same issue). Thanks for the suggestion though! Only using internal storage, no SD card, though thinking I might try that next...
Edit: Just to be thorough, I formatted internal storage via TWRP and my computer then readded the files and just tried to boot rom only and freezes before I can do anything.
Do you by chance have a refurbished s2?
The screen has been replaced by a friend of mine and he managed to mess up the soft keys with it, but everything else functions. That's actually why he sent it to me, so I could hook him up with Pie and all that kind of thing so the soft keys aren't an issue. What's your thoughts on the refurb side of it?

ok lets stat it with this
1) download both the scripts of infamous wipe cache and infamous super wipe.
2) format your both SD card with PC (FAT32)
2) put both these wipe files and and your rom file ( i prefer try slimbean rom first)
3) Now in twrp 2.6.0.0- follow the steps
i) format your phone with twrp options
ii) again format your phone with infamous super file. (by going in to INSTALL ZIP file option in TWRP)
iii) than format with infamouse cache file (by going in to INSTALL ZIP file option in TWRP)
iv) install your rom and compatiable GAPPS zip file.
v) after installing or somewhere between procedure if twrp says something about supersu birnaries are not correct than click on DO . NOT FIX
vi) again format infamouse cache wipe.
vii) now FINALLY reboot the rom.
it should work, and it worked for me. if u sucessfully run the rom than you can eailsy run all the AOSP roms in this forum. Again If you try this please do tell me what happend.
Followed to a "T" and still in the same boat - freezes after bootup. I used those same steps before with another darkside wipe script (maybe older?) but yea, have already been down that road. I did downgrade to 2.6.0.0 and used Slim 4.3 because 4.4 is supposed to use the newer TWRP, just to be certain, but GRRR. I guess we're just gonna have to settle for a 4.1.2 rom and call it a day. :/
So here are the log output from the wipes:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9903887/INFAMOUS.CACHE.WIPE_recovery.log
I see some stuff at the bottom of those that might indicate something weird, but I am not adept at interpreting these, so just wondering if someone could point me to the right direction about the repair checks and what not listed on these. Thanks!
Edit 2: I did get a AOSP based 4.1.2 rom to boot with no problems! wtf... LoL
Last Edit:
Problem solved! I used basically the same steps I had been doing but once the AOSP 4.1.2 rom booted then now everything works like it should again. Have loaded a 4.3 and 4.4 rom successfully. Thanks for the help!

Interesting, so you're saying it's phone specific?
That begs to ask other questions now:
1. Where did this phone come from? is it a Tmobile version (SGH-T989) or AT&T (i-1900)?
2. You mentioned you got it from a friend; did it come rooted? unlocked? Or did you have to do that process yourself?

Yep, very much phone specific. Used same recovery, same rom zip and gapps off the same external SD card, to be certain. That one updated just like every other S2 I've done. And it's the Tmo version. The At&t models are i777 S2 or i727 S2 Skyrocket. The i9100 is international and has a physical home button. But the phone was not modified at all. No root, custom recovery, etc. I was only able to resolve it by first starting with an AOSP 4.1.2 rom and working my way up to 4.4. One of the weirder issues I've come across.

What did you exactly do? I flashed a 4.1.2 and then flashed a 4.3 based ROM and it didn't work. What recovery version did you use to flash the 4.3 ROM?

Sorry, I don't pay attention to the notifications on XDA very often. I don't usually browse the S2 forums unless needed because I have an N5, but anyway... The 4.1.2 rom you used, was it TW or AOSP type? I used 2.6.0 to wipe everything, then used cache and superwipe zips then 4.1.2 AOSP type rom then cache wipe zip again then after that booted, I was able to go back to 2.6.1 and flash a 4.3 via wiping, wipe zips, installing rom then cache wipe again. After that, repeated with a KK rom and now it loads roms just like it should. If you want more precise help, feel free to hit me up on Hangouts with my username: es0tericcha0s. Good luck! I know how frustrating it can be when it gets a little out of whack like this...
I'm in the same boat
Same here. I just bought a galaxy s2 from my friend (tmobile version) and I too get stuck in a bootloop no matter what rom I use. It boots up freezes then reboots 7 keeps doing that endelessly. I've even wiped using twrp & darkside then reflashed the stock rom in odin, but no luck. strangely it only happens on the cellular network, otherwise it works fine on wifi. But when I turn off the wifi and go to the cellular network I can't even turn on the wifi anymore and still stuck in this boot loop It's wierd and frustrating.

Hmm. That's interesting... This is happening on the stock rom - where you turn on cellular data and it reboots? Definitely a different issue than the one I was having. Which stock rom were you flashing via Odin? Have you tried other versions of the stock rom and had the same problem?
TMO 4.1.2

This was happening on any rom I used (Cm 10.2 stable, Cm 11 nightly, AOKP & Super Nexus 3.0 which is Android 4.3) I can't really speak for the stock rom (tmo 4.1.2) since I've never used it for more that 5 minutes, sigh but I'll try it and see if it gives me the same problem :/
Are you guys flashing gapps if the ROM you're installing doesn't have it?

I just started working on a VZW S3 on T-Mobile service that has this issue. Happens on stock VZW 4.1.2, stock T-Mobile 4.1.2 rom, custom 4.1.2 T-Mobile rom, and stable CM 10.2. Weirdest thing... full wipes including /system inbetween each flash. Changed the modem too. Nothing helps. Pretty sure it's a bad board at this stage.
Cool beans, 0! Having this exact problem, will try your method for my s2, btw which aosp 4.1.2 did u use? Can I get a link? Thanks been having the problem for a few months now and just gave up haha, been super thirsty for that beanstalk kk build
One last thing can u also provide a link to the 4.3 that u used? I really want it to work and want to follow what u did to the , megabyte
Hello,
I can not flash any ROM to my GT-P5210 Tab anymore.
I was on BinDroid ONE P5210 LITE V3.0.0, but since it is discontinued
and 2 other ROMs rolled out over the past days I wanted to give it a try.
- went back to stock with official firmware from "sammobile" for my device,
- flashed TWRP with Odin 3.07
- flashed ROOT with Odin
- went to recovery did factory reset + dalvik/cache (
- flashed new ROM (neither ROM Pimpdroid or Grievous is working)
after flashing Tab goes into a bootloop to recovery. First boot after flash takes some time in the Galaxy Tab3 Logo but in the end it reboots into TWRP. I have tried CWM too with the same results.
I am not totaly new to flashing, did it with my I9000 and now with my I9300 int. but with this Tab3 now I am lost.
Any ideas are much appreciated.
regards and sorry for my english its not my native tongue

did u try root check app to c if u r truly rooted? is ur su updated? if so try reflashing the recovery...n the root file. do u have the stock kernel?
THink I Got a fix
This worked for me. The TWRP does NOT actually wipe anything. go to settings in whatever rom you are running, and do a factory data reset from there. Let it wipe all app data and EVERYTHING. Then go through the steps to install whichever ROM you want. It worked for me!! Post back and let me know if it worked for you too. I tried for 3 days to install anything, and this is the only thing that worked.:victory:

I'm uploading a stock firmware that can be flashed using ODEN. I have not tried this file, I just downloaded it, before I flashed anything, in case something went wrong. I'll post the link when it finishes uploading. Good luck! Post back and let us know how it went.

I tried your method and it worked. Another thing that works is first thing when you enter TWRP check if system is mounted, if not tick mount and then wipe the way installation of the rom suggests. This worked for me too. Thanks for ur time and the fish
Oh cool, I'm glad to help. I also tried to manually mount system, but untill I got that first ROM installed, it just un-mounted itself again. I hope these problems will be sorted out. Both recoveries act choked down somehow. (TERP, CWM) Looks like "source manifest CM 10.2 "thread is making exciting progress. I can't stop watching it. Most of it is over my head, but google helps me, in trying to grasp what they are saying.

can someone recommend a clean rom for gt-p5210
Hello there,
I'm new to Android (got me note 2 three days ago) and I rooted the phone yesterday, I flashed cm ROM into the note, because It was as simple as an iPhone, and it was fast, but I lost some of the greatest features that note 2, offers which are the multiscreen and the S-Pen features, I have posted a help thread about that and they replied that I need a Touchwiz ROM, I went to my close friend Google and searched for Touchwiz rom(s) but there were way too many, can you recommend a good light one with nice interface and noob-friendly? I would really appreciate it.
With regards,
OverDub

It's hard to say which is best. A twizz rom is a stock based rom. If you want a rom with lots of features I'd look at one of the note 3 based roms like ditto. If you want something light any rooted stock rom will do then you can use titanium backup to freeze or remove anything you don't use. If you want to increase battery life then check out apps like greenify and receiver stop. They help to stop rogue programs running in the background

No there will be no problem at all. If you are already on a 4.3 bootloader you will be fine If you aren't you just need to flash either the wifi patch or devil kernel to get wifi. I am on the n7105 which is slightly different. If you follow any of Dr ketan's guides you will not go wrong. Airview pen window and quad screen multi window are all pretty cool features in dn3

Just do a full wipe (is a must and most advisable) when you jump from 1 rom to another.
If you are not sure which bootloader you are in now (noobproof in my opinion) :
1) try download all the files you need first, and put them all on the SD card (ROM, Wifi patch N7100 dr. ketan).
2) Full wipe (if you are on philz cwm, do a clean wipe to flash new rom), and flash new rom.
3) let it boot. Try the wifi, if it doesn't work, it means you are on the old bootloader, then you have to follow the wifi patch instructions (or flash devil kernel on my device N7105).

Thank you for the reply, I have the ROM manager app which is associated with CWM, it has the (install a ROM from SD card) option, and if u press it There are two checks which are (wipe data) and (wipe cache).
Is it safe to use the ROM manager way of installing a ROM ?
P.S: I used the ROM manager way yesterday to change ROMs from cm 10.2 to cm 10.2 nightly and it worked perfectly.

Better flash MJ5 bootloader than Wifi-patch. A lot of people reported problems without new bootloader. MJ5 is knox-free.

You can try what dalanik suggest for the bootloader.
as for the flashing of DN3, I would suggest u flash Philz CWM, or TWRP. I myself use Philz CWM (I always use his since Note1, and so far give me less headache in my personal opinion/experienced).
Anyway, CM10.2 to CM10.2 nightly are still the same base CM. When you want to jump into TW from CM, I would highy recommend to do a full wipe. And the full wipe is the best do from recovery.
I'm sorry, I have no idea on using ROM manager to flash ROM on Note device. I left it long time ago. Galaxy S1 is my last device to use ROM manager.

So... you really did it from ROM manager ? I guess you are faster then I reply earlier.
ok.. Now you go to this website : http://www.mediafire.com/?v6cyi52g2ydbd
and then download : philz_touch_5.00.5-n7100.tar.md5
after that you can flash it from PC Odin (since you said u still can go into download mode).
Once you see pass and your phone reboot, press vol up + home + power to go into recovery. You shall see Philz CWM there.
here is how to flash PHilz from PC Odin :

and then download : philz_touch_5.00.5-n7100.tar.md5

btw.. which version of CWM Philz installed on your phone ?
if you want the Note3 features, I only know DN3. Sorry I rarely see the N7100 ROM, because I only own a N7105.
But if you don't care about Note3 feature, I believe N7100 got so many rom you can try....

yep correct.
If you ever consider to try again, inside Philz, when you choose wipe data/factory reset, there's option something like "Clean wipe to install new ROM". choose this one. It will do necessary wiping + formatting system/data and necessary formatting. Then you can wipe cache & dalvik. Then you can go on on flashing again.
Or... The best way that I always use, is to clean the internal storage (if I jump from TW to AOSP or the other way around), by using Zoots script. This script (custom wipe => mega wipe), will remove everything inside the internal storage. It will make a very clean place (until your backside ) to flash new ROM.

Use it with Philz 5.0.0.5
Just an opinion, if you would ever like to try again in the future.
All recoveries can be a bit buggy with aroma and bootloop is common. Sometimes turning the phone on and off works sometimes it can take 3 or 4 attempts to work so don't panic. I don't think one of us has never had a bootloop with aroma. As antique_sonic said I think earlier versions of phils play better with aroma. I think it's version 5.15 not 5.05 that's the one I used anyway

Hello guys i'm very new to SGS2 T-989 ...and recently got this 2 year old t-mobile sgh t989 ...and it worked fine for few day..till i trid cm11 as first custom rom on it..it too worked well until i used camera...it rebooted itself ...i thought it was because cm11 is nightly ..so i tried carbon rom ...it worked quit fine for a while......for some reson it to started rebooting after a while ..lastly i tried cm10.2 stable ...it worked quite good i updated with cm updater then after it worked good and affter a while it too strted rebooting ...i thaught of power button failure and replaced it too....and finally flashed stock JB 4.1.2 rom ...it works quite well even till now..but the problem is that i cant install custom roms on it ...any help would be honey in my throught...does any one have the issue...???.....................finally got to tell i'm new to this mobile not for customization of roms ..i tried every thing wipe/data/F.Reset/Delvik/System...and even trie super/dark wipe script too.....hmm the matter is unable to install custom roms/////
What recovery are you using? (latest is 2.8.1.0) get it here! Flashable .zip HereWich Gapps? . . . Stock 4.1.2 have some firmware upgrades so maybe you're good to go now if not you might want to try installing stock via Odin (kill any Kies process before using Odin). Find stock rom Here! You will need to register to dwl. Ooh and dont use darkside wipes scripts as they are outdated, you can/will brick your phone. Just wipe system, data, cache, dalvik and .android_secure
I'm using cwm 6.0.4.3 ...and I flashed stock rom the latest ...I have root and cwm backup too...stock rom works completely perfect ....prblm is with custom roms..
Keep a copy of cmw and your backups just in case and try flashing using twrp. Also read this thread , "Have you ever used odin to flash the factory 4.1.2 UVMC6 rom? Some driver stuff was updated in that version and can only be installed with odin."
I've used odin 3.0.7 to falsh stock t989 latest jb 4.1 ...stock rom works 100%....problem is with 4.2+ roms
Ok was just to be sure its not that.. did you try flashing with twrp??
Also what scheduler/governor are you using? I use sio/samsung (personnal choice) (stable, decent battery life, good performance) found out that some combinaisons crash the phone (reboot)
Just now installed twrp that u mentioned and took a backup....now I will try the cus rom process and tell u the result ...hoping this eleminates my problem...and one more thing...im just using stock rooted rom..had not done any changes with cpu governence...and have a decent battery..
Only problem is with KK and 4.3 Roms
I've changed the rrecovery to twrp latest and tried installing from CM9 worked ,
CM 10.1 even worked [4.2.2] :good: [camera crashes while using flash]
Tried 10.2 had bootloops.....whats wrong with 4.3+...help :crying:
Glad to hear that
Camera is known to crash when using the flash and battery is low.
About 10.2 idk .. maybe it has to do with CM itself (search in CM threads). Try some other roms/kernels combinaison. as long as you have a backup of a working setup you should be good. Personnaly i really liked hellkat w/diablo kernel (4.4.2) and Beanstalk w/wildkernel (4.4.4) but as they say , your mileage may vary.
K that's very helpful and ..tnx for ur sugession

i have this thing where i can't click anywhere im on my phone directly i have to try and feel it out.. please help
1)what software version are you on now?
2)what rom are you trying to flash?
Note4 Rocking a Hybrid Rom
Not long ago, it was discovered flashing the wrong recovery will mess up the lock-screen.
Some were solved with KIES firmware restore; no root, straight to dialer type *#2663# and then TSP FW update. If KIES won't update it, power down, pull battery 30 seconds, Odin stock tar and boot then the dialer code and update.
Do that after you determine which stock tar or KIES update is recommended from Your response above.

I am using
Cyanogenmod version
12.1-20150814-nightly-trltespr 5.1.1
kernel 3.10.40-gef59855
baseversion
N910PVPU4COG5
GALAXY NOTE 4 SPRINT
How ever im trying to flash back to stock evrything.
so that i can flash a rom that uses stock fetures of note 4 (windows mode etc)
the cm 12 does not utilize these and i need those badly.
so i tried to go back even factory reset wipe all cashes
but some reasn during all those fails my system UI says fail. and my touchscreen is not in sync correctly.
i heard of wiping system cache not sure if i done that but with TWRP i wipe everything but SD
it seems this has been a common issue the word we are looking for is calibration issues
it seems it happens to this person exactly how it is happening to me
there was a solution at the bottom but those buttons do not work for galaxy note 4 spr
does anyone know the codes for doing so ?

Did you see post 3?
I suspect you need to flash OG5 first. Use KIES or Odin. I would suggest wiping all but ExtSdCard and factory reset or format data partition, then power off; pull battery 30 seconds prior to stock tar or KIES recovery.
There's a guide you can follow as well as the OP in this post/thread. But see the steps on post 3, this thread. Boot into stock right after stock flash to try to recover your touch screen. If your touch screen is OK, then follow the guide below to root stock.

I recommend you flash this rom. Mostly stock but very stable,and the developer is working on some goodies.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62336588
I recommend that you back up everything you want to keep because you need to wipe everything EXCEPT external SD card. Wipe cache, dalvik , system, and data three times. Then factory reset three times and then flash this rom.

Odin stock tar and try again.
There's also an update to CFAR (Chainfire auto root) for Note 4. After you fix your touchscreen, root with it and make a TWRP backup once that is installed. A TWRP restore plus full un-root in SuperSU may make OTA possible; CFAR backs up stock recovery.
You can use Flashify to install custom recovery. You may have installed the wrong recovery to have the touch screen out of cal like it is.
