4.3 problems - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Whenever I flash a 4.3 ROM, I'll try to reboot and the ROM won't reboot. No boot animation. Nothing. I have to go back to a 4.2.2 ROM. Any fix for this?

Wrong thread bro, shouldve put this post on the Q&A section, but ill help ya on that.
1. Make sure you have the latest TWRP (Mine's 2.6.3.1)
2. BACKUP
3. Wipe data
4. Install both the rom and gapps <----- make sure your gapp is for 4.3 and not 4.2.2
5. Restart (For mine, it had to restart twice for some reason, but everything turned out to be fine)

I'm using TWRP 2.6.3 and I have the right gapps. 4.3 ROMs still don't reboot at all

Try an Advanced wipe and make sure you wipe system, then try flashing rom/gapps and see if you will boot into rom.

Download the latest version.
Do a mega wipe then install.
This will delete everything.
Always carry a efs backup though it won't delete efs.

it has happened to me a few times... dont panic, you can either press the power button for several seconds or remove the battery. then try again. if it stays like that, remove battery and open recovery, install the rom again... it should work then

In the installer crash rom instruction, i should wipe cache, factory reset, wipe dalvic. Is it do that again? Or just flashed again?

The first boot usually takes a little.
How long has it been?
I guess I get impatient, about 2 mins then I pulled the battery, did a full wipe and put another romantic on. How is normal? Am I just not waiting long enuff? Thanks for the help

It could take 5 or more minutes to fully boot up the first time. Always let it do its thing. It's easy to get anxious.

exactly what steps are you taking in recovery to do this? are you coming from stock? i would odin back to stock firmware and have a go at synergy again. there are rooted stock firmware downloads in android development section. after installation/root/custom recovery:
Boot into custom recovery
Select Wipe data/factory reset
Select Wipe Cache
Select Advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache
Select Mounts and Storage and format /system
Go back out to the main recovery screen and choose the "install .zip from SD Card"
Once the phone is booted, let it sit for 10 minutes, reboot again
I wasn't doing the mount/format step and will it giveme the last option to reboot or will I need to remove the battery?

Also something I was unsure of, after the the rom install when it takes you to the disable recovery on start up??

Here were my exact steps,
1) wipe data factory reset
2) wipe cache
3) wipe dalvick
4) install rom with clockwork and reboot.
I was running Cyanogen 10 ROM before attempting to flash.
Can someone help?

What state is your phone in right now ?
I assume you can get into recovery mode ? Have you trie dto flahs any other ROM's ?
I just waited 50 mins with the black screen, then I pull the battery turn it on and still the black screen. Then I pull the battery restart into recovery and put cyanogen10 back on. I don't understand why this ROM is different than any other one I have flashed

Going from custom ROM custom to a stock type ROM (Synergy) can create issues. Synergy while a good ROM is a bit buggy at times. Honestly if you want to flash it again I would flash a rooted stoc 4.1.1 ROM and then flash synergy.
It's just a well known issue with going from different type ROM's. Also I prefer to do a full/super wipe if I decide to go to a ported ROM or back from AOKP or something like that

as hednik and i have both stated now, you need to revert to stock before flashing a touchwiz-based rom. the direction you want to go with your device (touchwiz) is a little more complicated than going the aosp-based/source route. be patient, start over from stock, and you'll get there. i would also have a seperate touchwiz custom rom downloaded that you're interested in. in the event your device has nothing but problems with synergy, you could wipe data and flash the different rom to see if it would take instead.
Thanks for the help

[Q] Boot Loop Help T-Mobile GS3 Hyperdrive Rom

I Recently Installed Hyperdrive Rom, But When I Went To Reboot It... It Started To Boot Loop. I Tried To Go Back Into Recovery To Reflash The Rom Or Jus Install A Different Rom... & Even That Started To Boot Loop. Im Pretty Sure That Its A Quick Fix To This, So Hopefully Someone Can Help Me Out (Hyperdrive Rom, TWRP Recovery, T-Mobile GS3)
( NOOB) :crying::crying::crying:
You did a clean install right? Factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik cache?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
yes sir
Try flashing a compatible kernel, such as one of ktoonsez in original development.
If that doesn't help you may need to odin back to stock first.
Make a nandroid first if you have any important data.

You should give CWM a shot. It has never failed me before.

[Q] flashing a rom without bricking?

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?

installed AOKP ROM
booted and bricked- hangs at "X" aokp bootup screen

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.

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

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

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)

Android 4.3 boot but doesn't reboot

Why after flashing most of 4.3 roms it boot an works perfect until i reboot? It stuck on note 2 logo. factory reset failed. I can only wipe data and reflash rom or restore my 4.1.2 backup.

Whenever you flash a new rom, don't flash any mods directly. Complete the initial setup, wait for 5 minutes for the rom to settle, then reboot. Later you may flash mods

Everything like you wrote, after flashing rom always do first boot. After this works great until i reboot phone.
Also do a tutorial by someone, factory reset-flashing rom, wipe cache and dalvic-flashing gapps for 4.3 and wipe cache/dalvic-reboot and also doesnt work.

I don't what else could be the problem. Tried Super Wipe? (Philz recovery ---> Wipe Data/Factory Reset ---> Clean before installing new ROM?)
