[Q] flashing a rom without bricking? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

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

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)

[Q] Phone stuck on Samsung boot after stock restore help?

Hey my samsung galaxy s3 was bricked when I tried installing a kernal for a jb rom and I restored it to stock in odin.
Right now its just stuck on the Samsung Boot logo and the blue led is shown but it wont boot up. What do i do?

Thats the image i used to get back to stock with root. After that flashes the system will boot and say there is an update if you want the latest os then install rootkeeper from play store and run it that will preserve root. Once you run rootkeeper accept the update and that will get you to lh9 the latest os.

No, not yet i cant really get into clockwork recovery at all if you read my post above. I got into this whole mess by flashing a kernal on a jb rom whe i was rooted and i probably shouldnt have because it bricked my phone. But ive done almost everthing above and now im willing to do anything to get my phone back up and running. Will flashing the kernal for it fix it?
Yes, if you can find a way to enter download mode flash a stock rooted kernel and a stock ROM. You may need a jig to enter download mode

I can enter download mode without a problem all i need is the kernal you said which would possibly fix my phone.
The lg1 update i gave you has the boot.img (kernel) with it. It is everything, boot.img, system, modem, etc. Sounds bad but are you sure you are using odin correctly ?

Hope this helps. I had a similar issue once where the phone gets stuck at the Samsung logo. What I did was booted into stock recovery and did a wipe cache and wipe data. The phone booted up successfully after that.
U can also flash CMW through ODIN and do all the wipes (dalvik,cache and data) and I'm pretty sure ur phone will boot up.

The 2nd is the flashable zip of LJ1 to LJC (do it though TWRP or CWM)
Make sure to make a backup of your apps and data because it does a restore.

wierd that someone would send you to another site to DL files, files that you can get here with actual instructions on how to use them. (really? ODIN one thing, then CWM another? Just to get stock? smh)
and then for a person to send you to do this without mentioning the HFA errors and Chameloen FCs that you get from reverting to an earlier ROM from the LK8 leak, and how to fix that.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I am including a version of Billard's TWRP, (original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769) to make it easier for you to revert to LJC. What I do, coming from LK8, is the usual prescribed wipes, before flashing any rom, but I also wipe with the new Carrier button under the wipe menu. When you first boot the new rom, it will rebuild the wiped carrier partition automatically and reboot. Once rebooted, the Handsfree Activation will begin, and the Chameleon errors will no longer be a problem.
This recovery is a godsend.
If you want to go back to any other recovery afterwards, just ODIN your chosen recovery, or flash one, whichever format of recovery you downloaded. I usually just download Goo Manager from the Play store, and install the official TWRP from OpenRecovery Script.
This is a recovery zip file you can flash with the recovery you have now.
Hope this helps, and Billard, I could not find a link to your recovery (found it!! Updated to your original link now). If there's a problem with me sharing your recovery, let me know!
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=2472 << chose the one with carrier wipe!
As always, proceed with caution, and I am NOT resposible for any and all problems you may run into.
Thanks so much.

what I did was I flashed the custom recovery by Billard, then I flashed the LJC_Stock_With_Count_Reset[FINAL].zip and that put me in a boot loop. I then booted my phone to download mode and flashed COMBINATION_L900VPALJC_CL434243_HWID04_HW_Rev0406_user.tar.md5. The result was my note 2 back to stock with stock recovery and 4.1.1 ljc! If you were to flash the COMBINATION_L900VPALJC_CL434243_HWID04_HW_Rev0406_user.tar.md5 without first at least installing the custom recovery and wiping the carrier settings I know that the combination tar will fail and you'll be stuck with a kies message. If you follow my steps your phone should also go through with the combination.tar file and put you back to unrooted, stock, ljc. Hope this helps someone.

No all jokes aside is what happens when you revert back to LJC from any of the other builds like LK8 and up. Something breaks which causes hands free activation to start up after every boot and it fails to activate device.

N7100 does not boot past start up screen

Hi All,
Couple days ago I tried to flash my note2 with mobile odin back to stock rom but something went wrong and since I have not been able to get past the welcome screen *Samsung Galaxy Note 2*. I can get into a recovery screen but I am unable to choose a new rom to flash with.
I ve tried to flash it with odin 3.07 and via kies but no joy.
At this stage I am quite desperate to get this resolved. Can anyone help me?

True but i had to use Odin and every guideline said the filed had to color yellow while for me it stayed blue but i figured heck at the moment it's just a paperweight so I don't have a lot to loose.

Didn't need to. I got it to work. I unchecked auto-reboot and it worked. All I did was flash the TWRP .tar and flash a rom. Rooting first was not needed.
Agreed...
Root is not needed if a user wishes to:
Make a pure stock backup....or current rom backup...
Flash another rom that already contains root...
Recovery is generally only needed for those functions anyway...(that's 90% of my time spent there)...
Everything else is a bonus....courtesy of our generous development team....g
Anyone know where I can get the most recent stock system and stock recovery tars to flash in Odin or what they're called? I have to go back to full stock.

TW rom issue!

Hi everytime I flash an tw rom on first boot everything works perfectly but as soon as I reboot I get this error phone.android.com has stopped and it keeps doing it so force closing each 15 seconds..
I tried to reflash whit a full wipe various times different tw roms but it still happens??
Also while im at it dont feel like opening another thread I have cwm6 touch the latest and during a nandroid backup it says backup of /data has failed some sort of error ....
I really want to go back to tw tired of aosp any ideas?

Wipe everything and odin flash the root66 firmware. Start over from full stock rooted, but clean.
Run your nandroid again and write down the error. (Save log to sd).
Seems to me there is some corrupted data getting left behind. I'd format the external sd as well. But at least backup and delete the Android folder. (Contains 2 folders inside, data and obb). You can rename to Android-bak if you prefer. Do this before wiping and flashing root66.

The data error I had too, but on twrp and it's a known thing all over recovery threads for a while now. The error thing happened to me a while back but a root66 fixed that, you should also get the other bug fixed with in the same process.

Mobile Odin isn't hard to use at all. I highly recommend using it in place of cwm and twrp, except for when a nandroid is needed.
As for the cwm touch, have you considered trting twrp? Personally I prefer it over cwm.

There's no reason at all to be nervous about trying a different recovery. Thousands of people have been using it w/o issue. Personally I think they are both really good, I just prefer twrp. Give it a shot, if you don't like it, install cwm.
It shouldn't do anything at all to your current rom. Recovery is on a completely different partition. And you can install w/o flashing. Use goo manager for twrp or rom manager for cwm.

I'll give feedback tomorrow onto that but rebooting the device gives me that android.phone.com has force stopped error so trying to avoid that but will definitely try twrp recovery
