Need help putting deodexed custom ROM on N7105XXDLL4 - installation stops prematurely

Hi
i figured out how to update my original firmware of 4.1.1 on my Note 2 N7105 LTE to 4.1.2 by downloading this tar.md5 (N7105XXDLL4_N7105TMHDLK8_TMH) through Odin
and it seemed to work because in "about device" it says im running 4.1.2 and it also seems to be a REALLY annoying European T-Mobile version because of the short and LOUD t-mobile video every single time i open and close my phone.
I also installed CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.5-jb which works perfectly (thank god)
now when i tried to boot the deodexed rom for N7105XXDLL4 through recovery via sd card. everything seems fine i can choose all the options in sequence and when i get to the end it tries to install (percentage bar) but stops very quickly and reboots me to recovery mode...the first time i did that it forced me to restore from backup (because it wouldnt boot at all) and the second time i did it it made me reboot and the samsung logo appeared followed by "android is upgrading 0 to 162" I WAS SUPPPPER HAPPPPY!! but i was crossing my fingers...low and behold the phone did boot but all the fonts and everything else were EXTREMELY tiny and a message kept popping up saying SystemSU has closed or something..
I obviously restored back to t-mobile 4.1.2 (hungarian)
Is there something wrong im doing during the installation? should i try and upload it through odin or something instead of through my sd card??and how do you do that?? i mean it cant be the wrong deodexed because i chose the first one for xxdll4 and it the installation does boot on my phone..
i mean everything looks great except for the fact that it stops at the beginning of installation and reboots me to recovery prematurely....
ANY HELP???!!!! THANKS!!!

TWRP is other kind of recovery. Try a fredh install using it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956939
But, before, wipe/factory reset using CWM
Install TWRP (.zip file) using CWM
Reboot recovery

TWRP password?

I've been having some trouble trying to boot the latest AOKP for some reason, clean install didn't work so I restored a backup from recovery. After that, TWRP asked me for a password soon as I got into recovery. This is the first time I've seen this..and I figure that reflashing the recovery should be all I need to do, then I should be able to reflash AOKP and enjoy, right? Problem is, I can't find a .tar file as goo.im doesn't appear to want to give me the file. :crying:
So before I spend the rest of my day off on a wild chase for a simple file, can anyone tell me if I'm going about this the right way? My searching the issue hasn't yielded much in the way of results. Just want to get my phone back up and running!
EDIT:
I wasn't being clear enough. Despite restoring my backup, it force closed one thing or another every few seconds so I went to recovery to reflash. That's when things failed because of this password. I'm limited to download and recovery modes now, which isn't bad except for I still can't find a .tar to flash via Odin.

Reflashing TWRP hasn't resolved the password issue. Looks like I need to find a new angle..

what version are you on? did you just flash that same version?

Was at 2.5.0.0, and yes I reflashed the same one. I can't remember which version I was on before this one. Any recommendations?

perhaps revert to the previous release. if you're d2att, here's the link to the 2.4.4.0 tar

This version throws the same password prompt. I never set a password for this..didn't even know it was an option

Just went through trying different versions all the way back to 2.3.3.1 which I know I used for quite a while without any trouble. I want to try CWM but I can't find it in .tar form, just .img

WOW!! I found CWM version 5.8.4.7 on my computer's HDD, and so I flashed it. CWM wouldn't mount my external sd card where my ROM zips are. Got tired of messing with that and so I flashed back TWRP and it came back with the same password prompt. Great... Guess I'm flashing back to stock and starting over.

follow this link to the root from recovery thread. download the root kit and flash the recovery.tar.md5 file. its an older cwm so after flashing, you have the option to download and flash a recovery flashable twrp zip (to see if that fixed the password issue) or remain on cwm and download/flash a new release
follow the link in my signature. at the bottom of post #2 are the download links for the latest releases to both cwm and twrp. flash in recovery, go to advanced and reboot recovery. presto

Thanks for that. Flashed a CWM 6.0.3.1 flashable zip after that, and now it's giving me an error trying to flash my ROM zip.. Status 7. Going to try redownloading it..
Update: "Install from sdcard complete." Was starting to think I'd never see those words. I'm sure it'll work now. Thanks so much for your time!

Grrr...It's still doing the same thing that started this adventure. Gets stuck at the underwear kernel loading screen and won't boot up.

CWM and TWRP nandroids are different. If you make a backup with TWRP you cant restore with CWM, and vice versa.

if you're still getting stuck on the loading screen, wipe data/factory reset in recovery and wipe cache. reboot and see if that fixes your issue

I've tried this many times, nothing's working. I got fed up and used ODIN to go back to stock, and now even THAT won't boot. Went to download, again flashed CWM and tried wiping cache, did a factory reset and fixed permissions. It STILL won't boot. I can't figure out what I did wrong to save my life. This all started with the same wipe procedures I always take when updating AOKP. I'm completely lost right now..
Maybe I spoke too soon. It went from the Samsung GSIII logo to the AT&T logo with startup sound after a long time..now it's sitting here at Samsung for..a long time. Maybe I haven't been giving it enough time.

When you use ODIN to flash back to stock, you usually have to boot into stock (not custom) recovery to wipe data and wipe cache. Otherwise the phone sits at the Samsung logo.

So, boot into download mode and that will wipe cache? I'm not sure I understand. And you were right, it hasn't progressed past the samsun logo.

No, boot into the stock recovery mode that comes on the device. Don't flash the stock firmware and then flash cwm in order to wipe data and wipe cache. Just flash stock in ODIN with the auto reboot box unticked, when you get the PASS, unplug, pull battery, replace and immediately press the recovery mode button combo. This will place you in stock (Samsung) recovery. That's when you wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. Reboot. It will take a few minutes to boot initially

Will report in a few minutes. Thanks again for taking the time to help =)

When I went to recovery it showed the android guy with the little gearboxes. I guess that's what I was looking for? It rebooted by itself and now I'm just waiting for it.

Yup, that's what stock recovery looks like. Were you able to wipe data and cache before the reboot?

Cwm recovery looping help!!!!1

Hello,
I have a SGH-T989. I recently rooted it and installed cyanogenmod, with gapps and a custom kernel (AOSP UBER KERNEL). I think the kernel is the problem but i dont know how to attack it. Anyways, my phone is stuck on the cyanogenmod boot screen ( Teh one with the circle and cyanogenmod on the inside) and its not frozen, but wont go past that screen. So i tried booting into CWM Recovery, however, when i would i would get that screen as is i didnt have CWM ( the one with the warning about custom software, where u use volume up to continue and then install cwm with odin). So i just opened odin and installed cwm again, but now when i get into cwm, i see all the options,such as reboot system now, install zip from sd, wipe data, wipe ccache, backup, etc. However, i see it for about 5 seconds, then the screen goes black, then cwm comes up again and then repeat. I can go down like one option and then it goes black, then shows the same cwm screen again. Please help! Im a mad noob btw.

I'd suggest to use odin and flash TWRP 2.6.1.0 in download mode, reboot and go into TWRP and do a full advanced wipe, dont wipe preload or it will fail, if you really want to wipe preload, then go into settings and change it to use rm -rf instead of format, shouldnt really need it tho, after wiping just reflash rom/gapps, wipe cache/davilk and reboot.

Thanks for the response. Im sorry but, how do I do that? is download mode the screen you get to when you hold the power button and volume buttons, and then let go of the power button? That screen is CWM for me, and I cant do anything in that mode due to every 5 seconds it stopping and restarting (CWM itself, not the entire phone). Thanks.

Nope that's recovery, to get into download mode and flash TWRP recovery, make sure you have Odin3-v1.85 and the latest Samsung USB Drivers (Win 7/8/XP) and follow the instructions here, just ignore the part about rooting, get TWRP 2.6.1.0 flashed and then follow above posts suggestions.

You should be good, just make sure you didn't lose root access, I saw a post in the dev section with someone saying they lost root after flashing UBER kernel, but that might of just been something they did wrong on their end, not sure.

i used Odin 3 for flashing stock firmwares (i tried 4 so far), it says pass, but soon i enter the recovery for wiping cache and data it goes the same error, and the bootloop starts again without any changes
i tried to update recovery, and soon it finished i enter the recovery for wiping data/cache the error appears and the boot-loop persists
Hope you can help , please i'm running out of options

I tried to install custom-twrp-3.0.3-0-serrano3gxx-STABLE-signed and many different twrps with different odin versions, but as soon as odin 3 finish, and I press the phone's buttons when it vibrates to enter the recovery, I find myself with the same recovery and the same errors; but still I install the stock rom after that twrp, and odin says Pass when nothing passes ! the bootloop and the recovery still in place, nothing ever change ! and I didn't done anything before all of these errors, no root no custom firmware nothing.
Please ! help !

I think I have the same problem here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/help/boot-loop-samsung-gt-i9195-errors-t3596676
but still no solution. No matter what recovery I flash I get the same errors (can't mount, can't format...) and the same boot loop.
I can only flash original firmware and nothing else.
I don't know what to do...
Read somewhere that maybe a problem with the memory getting corrupted (hardware fault) but I don't know.

Hello Yes the recovery says : "no command" when starting it, and when doing erase data/wipe cache it says: "can't mount", "can't format" and finally it says "error" then it reboot in infinite boot-loop
I flashed 5 different firm-wares until now ! without change
Please Help ! tell us at least if it's a hardware failure or not

I don't get "no command" but I get "can't mount", "can't format"...the weird thing is that no matter what recovery i flash (cwm, stock or twrp) after restart I have the previous recovery, in my case CWM 6.05 or something....
Don't know what to do

Please Anyone Help !!

Any solution my friend?

I have the same problem. I think the reason is the dead emmc. I tried to make backup immediately after odin flash and got a error while reading of the system partition. Sometimes I got system mount error. It is a strange case, becouse odin does not notice about some errors while firmware writing. Maybe odin writes the system partition without errors check from emmc? And TWRP restores /system from a backup without problems, but reads the partition not always.
