Not able to flash ROM anymore in Samasung Note 2 (N7100))

Hi,
I had rooted my samsung galaxy note 2 a year ago. Till then I successfully flashed many ROMs. However recently when I tried to install DN3 (Ditto Note 3) ROM, when it rebooted my phone stuck on the "Samsung Note GT-n7100" logo and could not move further. It was "soft" bricked. I installed Philz recovery through ODIN and able to restore my data. After then I tried 2-3 times to install the same ROM but every time the installation failed in between.
At last I tried to install Phoenix touchwiz ROM but my phone got hanged again in between during installation. It seems there is some problem in my internal memory card which comes in between during installation.
Do I need to format my internal memory? Please let me know the probable causes of this issue.
Just wanted to tell you that all the time I wiped cache + Wipe Cache partition + Wipe Delvik Cache before commencing installation.
your comments would be greatly appreciated!

Are you sure you have correct recovery? Phils v6 is incompatible with Aroma installers, you should use v5.15

Earlier I used "ROM Manager" to install the ROM but when it hanged then I used Philz 6.0. Should I use Ver. 5 for the same?

If you are installing ROMs from recovery and those ROMs have AROMA installer you should use Phils 5.15. Version 6.x hangs on Aroma.

Have you make a backup befor you flashed The Rom?
For this Rom you need always The newest Recovery Version,depent of New updater script.
Can you go to The recovery , make a factory reset and wipe cache / dalvik.
Then go to download mode and flash Stockrom again.
Then flash Philz recovery, after flash Boot manuly into recovery make an backup and now reboot your Tab Into recovery make an fullwipe and flash your New Customrom.

in philz recovery, in wipe options select - clean to install new rom
the goto tab 3 7.0 area get svelte rom , you need to put it on removable microsd with card reader [get one]
the put card back in tab reboot to recovery and flash, firmware updates aren't always good or necessary,
odin should be a last option. stay calm [use the force] and good luck :good:

Its funny its only work when you factory reset, My guess would be that something wrong with twrp or updater script.*
Maybe @gr8nole*will know more bout this issue.*

I installed TWRP recovery but when I factory reset / wipe data, dalvik, data, system it doesn't format the system

You can try another recovery through odin, if it fails flash stock rom through odin. Make sure you flash one which is as least as new bootloader. Then start from square one.

Witch version of TWRP do you use ?
To do full wipe I use Zoot Wipe script, but be careful it remove everything :

[Q] Can I downgrade?

Hi this is a long post so I will highly appreciate it if anyone helps me even after reading this.
I was on xperia z-ized v3.4 (based on android 4.3) with mj5 as the bootloader. I was tired of that rom and wanted to try dn3 rom and downloaded the zip as well but the OP of the rom thread said that twrp recovery is recommended over cwm. So I went to thread given in the page which showed me how to flash twrp. It was just download the zip and flash it in recovery, which is exactly what I did. Now ever since then I am not able to turn on my phone, nor does it go to recovery, it just goes into download mode which made me change my decision. Now I am thinking to downgrade back to 4.1.2 and I will try dn3 rom later on. I downloaded the firmware from sammobile but just wanted to ask that given my previous firmwares and flashes, is it safe to flash or will I risk bricking my phone.
Thanks for reading this and please help me out if you can

Well if you still want to try DN3 ROM you can flash philz recovery tar.md5 via odin and then once you boot into recovery you can get twrp zip file that you downloaded previously and flash twrp over philz.That's what i do when i switch recoveries.I never used CWM except when i was on 4.1.2 but once i rooted my phone the same day i switched to philz.If you don't want to try dn3 at the moment yes you can go back 4.1.2 since you are on mj5 bootloader which makes downgrading back to 4.1.2 possible.I'm giving you links below for philz tar.md5 and instructions on how to flash it via odin incase you change your mind.
philz tar.md5
Put your phone into download mode,open odin on pc,uncheck auto reboot in odin,dont touch anything else,connect phone to pc,wait for port ID to lit up and be blue.Select the AP/PDA tab and navigate to flash this downloaded philz tar file.Click start and you are done.Exit odin on pc.Pull battery out your phone.Wait a minute then put it back in and manually enter recovery mode your newly flashed philz recovery will load.Now go and install twrp recovery zip file and select "reboot recovery" in philz advanced options.Your twrp recovery will load.Do all the wipes in twrp by going under advanced wipe (dont wipe external sd and otg) this will fully wipe your internal phone memory clean then go back to main menu and flash DN3.Enjoy.

Well try other 4.4.2 custom TW rom,dn3 isn't the only ROM available on xda for our note II.Look around and I am sure you'll find something that suits you.

Actually to be honest I want to go back to stock but I odin shows fail, so is there any workaround for that.
PS: even dn3 doesn't boot up now after flashing. Stuck on the note II logo. Tried wiping cache, dalvik cache and factory reset but to no avail

Well which recovery are you using now?TWRP?Do you have a back up of any ROM? I suggest go under advanced wipe and wipe everything except external sd card and otg.This will fully wipe your phone.Other suggestion is flashing stock 4.4.2 ROM and then trying custom ROM.

Tried whatever you said just now, still not booting up. I am on philz recovery and I did not take any backup. I only have stock 4.1.2 rom which is not getting flashed via odin and I cannot download stock 4.4.2 because my internet connection is slow..
what should I do?

[Q] CWM Recovery not permanent

I was trying to install CWM recovery on this phone , I used Odin to flash recovery . I flashed recovery then removed battery and then booted to recovery then CWM loaded but as soon as I restarted the phone and again tried opening recovery phone took me to stock recovery , how can I solve this? I am running 4.2.2 firmware . And also I tried flashing CM11 with this temporary CWM but package installation stopped because of a error (status 7) saying some problem with partition , I was not rooted at the time . Is root needed to flash CM11 ?

1. Once u boot into CWM recovery flash SuperSU (If u don't have get it from here). This will ensure that the recovery doesn't revert back to stock.
2. Status 7 error has various reasons. Ensure that u r using most latest recovery and perform clean install.

it was telling me some error with partition like eemc when i flashed cm11 , can this be due to because i was't rooted?

First of all root your device.
Secondly install philz recovery using odin.
Then flash your desired ROM
(i suggest you aogp dual sim).
PM me if you need any help.
All the best :thumbup:

emmc is a partition i believe, if you see such errors, recheck if you are using the correct recovery... I flashed my tablet with wrong recovery and it wiped out all my partitions. It's as good as a brick now if not worse.
