It's seeming that it's the kernels that are killing our fone. It's the 1 common denominator

Find a different cm10 compatible kernel and flash it through cwm or through Odin.

What is the name of the ker el you flashed. And link possibly.

Have you tried going into recovery? Maybe there is still cwm? Since your flash back to stock seems to have been unsuccessful.

Just had a thought. It's easy to get stuck on boot when you flash back to stock without wiping.
If you can wipe it/factory reset that could solve you're problem.
And it'll boot up.
It's confusing cause it looks a lot like your phone not booting cause of the kernel
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Yeah just take the battery out and get into android recovery by pressing volume up, power, and home button. Then wipe/factory reset and reboot system.

^^^^ just like the gentleman said. Reboot into recovery and factory reset it. It should boot up after that.

Recovery isn't there, any way I could do it from adb?
Sent from my HTC Ruby using xda app-developers app

If you can get into download mode, reflash the stock tar in Odin again or just flash the cwm or trwp recovery tar and reflash a different kernel
Sent from my SGH-T999

Here is a link to Odin-able recoveries that you can use. I also agree with the others that this is probably a mismatched ROM/Kernel that is preventing you from booting up. The only problem I foresee is that you Odin'd a stock image, so now you are not on CM10 anymore. Now you'll have to find a TW kernel that you can flash, like Morfic's or I think Ktoonez has one too. But you can ADB push the kernel to your SDcard so that when you flash the recovery above, you should be able to then go in and find your kernel and flash that.
What I suggest first is to Odin one of the recoveries (TWRP is what I use) and then once that is done, go in and Factory Reset and try to boot it up. If it works, great. If not, then you may need to move on to pushing a kernel and flashing that.

Volume up + Home + Power takes you to Recovery.
Have you tried that?

[q] avatar rom

I've been attempting to put avatar rom on my galaxy note II SGH-T889 all day today using CWM, but as soon as it starts it crashes??? Would anyone know what the problem is? or what i am doing wrong??? I really like this rom and want it to go on my phone but its starting to frustrate me. Thanks.

What do you mean as soon as it starts it crashes. Does your phone boot up with the ROM at all?

First, I recommend TWRP recovery I believe is much better and easier to use. I suggest downloading GOO Manager from the playstore and use it to flash TWRP Recovery. Then try to flash the ROM.

Is This It For My Phone?!?

So here is my deal, I have been flashing custom ROMs on my TMobile Note 2 and I think I may have made an error one ROM in particular. WanamLite ROM. I have TWRP and noticed that ROM uses CWM instead. Now I cannot load any ROM as it either upgrades itself amsung Galaxy Note 2 Screen. Is there anyway I could get out of this mess?

I think that rom is made for international note 2 but you should be able to use what ever recovery you want, what are you trying to flash, or you just trying to get into recovery?

There's instructions inside the thread already. Just after you're done flashing the ROM and it asked you if you would like to reboot. Press no & then flash the T-Mobile modem. And then restart. & when it said twrp suggested its because cwm would keep freezing the aroma installer. I used philz touch (cwm based) & it worked fine. Just install it & if it freezes pull the battery & go into the recovery and retry to install it again. The first boot up during the setup wizard. Skip through it and when you exit out of it you're 4g will come up. The APN's are already set for it. That's about it

Thanks, I had some problems at first setup as I was not able to talk with anyone but no signal problems were there too. Weird one huh? It was fixed after second flash. I'm wondering if it would cause troubles if I overclock my CPU. and 1gb of ram is used by the ROM itself. Freaking MONSTER

Are you on the 3.1.1 build? If you wanna flash that on t889 gotta flash dn3 v1.0 and then dirty flash the 3.1.1 version to get it to boot. In aroma check n7105, note 3 launcher, pen window manager and xposed installer. Worked great for me

Works well with t889
No issues!
First did Dr. Ketan WiFi patch
Downloaded N7105 3.1.1 (LTE)
Recovery> Choose N7105>
After Installation selected 'No' to reboot and installed T Mo Modem (T889UVUCMK7_Modem-Dec_9_13)
Reboot
Took 4 mins for first time setup
Did OTA Update to 3.2
Rebooted
A Min now
Downloaded build.prop editor
Did edit in Model number to SGH-T889 from N7105
Done!

If nothing else works, you could also try app selinuxmodechanger from the app store. Open and set to permissive.

Wifi Tether

Okay before anyone jumps me, I have searching for weeks on this. I tried various provision files and all have gave me the force close in settings. I tried that Trev E mod wifi tether app also. I can not get this thing to tether now. It worked fine when I was on ATT with a family plan, now I am using a NET10 plan. Phone is running 4.3. Is there no tethering hack anymore?

Try this

I'm running Stock MK6 4.3 on ATT. Worked fine for me.
All it is doing is replacing the TetheringProvision.apk under /system/app.
If you don't want to flash the file above, download apk from here.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407566502
You will then need to manually put it into /system/app and change permissions.

So anyone try these yet ??

Yes. But the CWM flash works fine also. I know for a fact this apk works. Been using it for months.
Was just curious if someone had tried the flash. You can download, unzip it and go to the updater-script and check out what it does.

I can't get the permissions to change. I will try to flash it but I have twrp recovery right now. How would I go about flashing it with cwm? If I put the zip on my sd card and go into cwm recovery, just select install from zip file option?

Alright, I flashed it with TWRP and it was successful. I booted up my phone and got a message saying that teatherprovision tried to access a secured area and wad blocked. My phone the tried to update the security policy. I then tried to turn tethering on get an error saying unfortunately tether provision has stopped. The phone then said gave me the same nessage about being blocked from accessing a secure area without authorization. So it did not work. Do you happen to have the stock tetheringprovision file or any other ideas? Maybe the permissions arent right but I'm at work and not sure of the commands off the top of my head if I can even change them on the phone.

Are you rooted ?? Sorry I didn't ask first. And do you want to be? If you run the latest version it will turn off Knox.
You are definitely running 4.3 because Knox came up and said whatta doing dude?
Have you ever done anything to your phone?
Did you rename the original or just replace?

If you go to the web site on your first screen shot
www.samsung.com/us/secureandroid
That reeks of Knox.
And security policy messages/warnings are Knox related.
Go to Settings, find About Phone.
Near the bottom of About Phone ..... What does SELinux status say? Or is there one?
**********************
The ROM you are on is the first one I ever tested the file on.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I think I got it. So you are rooted. Go to apps, open SuperSU. it should prompt you to update. After it does it should ask you to disable Knox.

Ok I went into SuperSU and it asked me to disable knox like you said. After doing that and rebooting, it still says Enforcing under SE for Android. I don't understand the disable know prompt though. I was under the impression that there was no way to disable know so thats why I had to flash the hacked mj4 bootloader. Can you clear this up for me? I am going to try to flash the tetherprovisions again since I am still the error when trying to turn the hotspot on.
