(I've been flashing quite a lot ... but unfamiliar with this device)
A friend asks me to help to move from with his Stock v2.3.6 to a customed 4.3 (since 4.4.x isn't 100% yet...).
So I got a Recovery on it and flashed latest superSU1.86 (is it compatible ???) to get root.
Afterward I can't flash some 4.3 ROMs (CM10.2, Slimbean4.3), all "aborted" in many recoveries (CWM 6.0.4.4, 6.0.3.7 & TWRP 2.6.3.0, 2.6.1.0).
I did all the wipes/factory-reset/systems/data ... Finally I just restore the Stock-backup so he can still use the phone for now.
At least, it's still rooted with a TWRP on it.
What did I do wrong ?
Thanks.
Update: flashed stock 4.1.2 then went to Slim4.3 without issue with TWRP 2.6.1.0

Hi everyone,
Has anyone been successful in getting any of the CWM recovery variants to work on the N7105T? Every version I can find listed for the N7105 (no dedicated N7105T version, from both XDA/Google/ROM manager) causes the phone phone to boot into the standard Samsung screen. However the screen then glitches by moving to the left and disappears all together.
Easily rectified by flashing TWRP recovery or stock recovery, but the issue is I'm attempting to install one of the Modem files for the N7105T after flashing an N7105 custom ROM. Without the modem file the custom ROMS also experience the same glitch mentioned above from CWM recovery. Unfortunately the modem.zip file I have on file cannot be found in the Download directory of the phone when using TWRP so I suspect I'll have to flash this using CWM.
Any thoughts? Or better yet, has anyone else successful loaded a custom N7105 ROM by flashing the ROM and then the modem.zip in CWM as above for the N7105T or by any other methods?
FYI;
Just flashed Phils modification of CWM which works successfully on the N7105T without the glitch. However the phone still cannot boot into a custom N7105 ROM successfully.
I tried to do the below to no avail;
Using Phils Recovery, flashed Paranoid Android & applicable GAPPS. After this I flashed the N7105T Telstra Modem using Phils Recovery. Rebooted phone and the phone turns on and screen 'glitches' as described earlier.
I also have the same problem
Note2-CWM-6.0.4.1-GT-N7105t

I now am trying to return to stock and update to 4.3. Just so I can use stock kernel in custom 4.3 roms ( Wifi won't work unles flash Agni or Devil kernels ). http://techbeasts.com/2013/08/22/how-to-root-install-cwm-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-note-2/ - happy to help more.

Follow all steps. - http://androidxda.com/root-samsung-galaxy-note-2-n7100t.
Now I updated to stock telstra 4.3, using odin v3.09. Firmware from samsmobile. worked first go and many times since
Then I flashed philz recovery - ( philz_touch_6.15.4-t0lte.tar) with odin v1.85 - untick auto-reboot and once installed just hold vol up/home and power to get to philz recovery - Then to root, download and extract saferoot = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 - it works on GT-N7105T ( just a N7105 really once you get a message on your phone about allowing USB ADB debugging / SU permision, all is good. I started the bat file again after i got the su message prior attempt and it completed. Then I updated supersu in play store then opened and updated binary in supersu and restarted phone. Just installed CWM and installed cm touch recovery app granted permissions, like on 4.1.2. phone is free now. will install roms tonight. any issues i will update this.
Hi! I have encountered a problem, and really hope someone can help me!
Two days ago i flashed Omnirom Nightly on my n7105 to get Android 4.4. I was running cmw recovery but couldnt get the ota updates to work, so i was trying to flash open recovery instead. I used an apk that was supposed to install a script.
When i rebootet my phone, all i could get was the Note 2 boot image. It wont boot into recovery mode, or the rom. I am however able to boot into download mode.
Custom Binary download: Yes (4 counts).
Current binary: Custom
System Status: Custom.
How should i proceed? I've already tried to reflash cwm recovery, which did work, but didnt solve the problem. I am currently downloading stock firmware, but the file is 1.2 GB so it will take i while. Figured i should ask here in the meanwhile.
I'm not an expert at Android at all, im just a guy enjoying having custom roms and playing around a little. I do know that there are a lot of very talented people in this forum, and i really hope someone can help me find a solution. I've been googling for hours, but cant find anything that seems to work for me / or i dont fully understand and wont risk try before someone approves it.
Thank you, Vetle
EDIT: Is it correct that i cant flash any custom rom trough Odin? Or could i just flash omnirom again trough Odin?
If i manage to flash the stock rom and the bootloop goes away, will everything go back to normal, so i can flash cmw again and then a custom rom again?
No custom rom can be flashed through odin, as most of them are zip cwm/twrp base.
When u can only go to download mode, an official firmware only can help u through odin.

Thanks for the answer!
Yup, i have flashed a stock rom now and i got the stock recovery. Everything was working fine.
Then i proceeded to do a factory reset in the stock recovery and flashed cwm trough Odin. When it was done, it wouldnt let me into recovery again! I can still boot up the phone tough.
I've also tried Open recovery. CWM via Rom manager. Open Recovery trough Goo Manager... Still cant get recovery to work, the stock rom works tough.
Any ideas?
Okay, i tried to flash the stock rom again and installed Rom Manger.
It still showes TWRP and CWM under installed recovery and i guess these its these two who makes the problem.
My plan now is to figure out how to completely remove them. I've never done anything related to adb before, so i hope it possible to remove them in another way?
This is so weird. Somehow i managed to install CWM Touch via Rom Manager and it booted. When i choose reboot /pull battery it will only boot straight into CWM again. I tried to flash TWRP via Odin, wich sucseeds, but then it reboots into CWM again!
I am soo lost its almost funny!
EDIT: Since i could get into cwm now, i tried to flash omnirom, but it aborts and all i get is status 7...?
EDIT2: Latest now is that i suddenly managed to install TWRP via Odin, but i still cant install the latest omnirom, all it says is "updating partition details".

I had recovery problems in the last few days also.
Installed DN3 rom using philz recovery, because its capable of prepare the phone to a new rom in a easy way.
It all went fine until first reboot.
I had a recovery boot loop. All I could see were some buttons and then reboot again.
Like you I had download access and flashed philz with Odin, but no luck.
Installed twrp via Odin and all was fine, and flashed philz new version.
Then I had to flash a new kernel (to be able to access wifi) and it all started again. Now I'm back on twrp.
Let's see what happens on my next flash.
My suggestion is to flash the recovery, and if that's OK flash the rom and use it
Next time you need recovery get Odin to help, but not all the way from an original rom. Just the custom recovery.
But if you want to get rid of your strange recovery configuration, and you are not already on new 4.3 recovery(which in your case could explain some of the problems you had) , with knox, install an older original rom, 4.1, and make all the steps, root it, install a custom recovery, and from there the room you want.
Reading your path sorting this problem, that was what would do next
Best regards
Trying to figure this out. Browsed forums for the last 24 hours, unable to come up with a way to figure it out. I was running Effortless rom, and older version that I can't remember, but it was on NF6 firmware. I wanted to play around with cm11 so I decided to flash back to stock NF6 then update to NF9 for the VOLTE update just to have it. So I triangled away, wiped then rooted and installed TWRP via ODIN, made a backup, everything went fine. Then I downloaded cm11 and gapps 4.4.4 and put them on my internal sd and went to flash in TWRP but cm11 was giving me errors. I figured it may have been TWRP so i decided to flash CWM but no go. It wouldn't stick. Tried again, no luck. Downloaded ROM Manager and this time I installed CWM through there. Tried rebooting in to recovery and ended up getting stuck in the "recovery booting" bootloop, so I flashed stock NF9(since I was on this firmware now) and tried installing CWM again, no luck. When I tried booting to recovery, it was stock NB4 recovery. I'm thinking that I'm stuck on an old bootloader and the recovery isn't NF9, which is the current stock recovery. I'm thinking that the reason why I'm unable to flash anything in TWRP/unable to install CWM at all is because of the stock recovery and possibly bootloader being NB4 for some reason while my baseband and build are both NF9. Any ideas/help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

If I were you the first thing I would do is to ODIN flash TWRP recovery
and go from there.
Here is a direct download link for the latest odin flash twrp
custom recovery for the N900T Note 3:
https://app.box.com/AndroidShare
Once you get into twrp recovery do a complete wipe
which includes wipe data, system, cache, dalvik and
last but not least do a factory reset in twrp.
When that's done odin flash the official stock N900T NF9
firmware which can be found at http://SamMobile.com
After that's done you will need to odin flash cf-autoroot
and then odin flash twrp recovery again.
Here is the download link for cf-autoroot:
https://app.box.com/s/rgovggya5gkc51lc1uax
Then simply copy your favorite N900T zip file rom into
your internal sd and flash the N900T rom of your choice.
Be sure to do a full and complete wipe again before
flashing any custom roms.
Good luck!
I recently installed CWM after unlocking my bootloader. But realized after that every ROM requires different recovery (boot.img in the roms). But to install custom ROM you have to flash boot.img and that's what I did with the help of flashtool, but after when I'm trying to boot into recovery it's not even starting! let alone booting into recovery! , I think I bricked my phone guys! How to solve it? Please help!
I tried flashing stock firmware ftf with flashtool, and it worked! Now my phone is back stock 4.1.2.
But still one doubt how did flashing boot.img that came with flashtool soft bricked my phone? did I do something wrong? Also that boot.img was of CM 12 that i was installing at that time. Was that because I flashed boot.img even after having CWM installed prior?
Did you flash the rom from 4.3?
*blink*
Ya, I flashed the CM 12 on 4.3. But when I flashed the kernel i.e. boot.img supplied by the this zip-- ( CM11 unofficial FXP-cm-12-20150203-UNOFFICIAL-z3c_2) zip my phone bricked. I think there was something wrong with the zip, Cos today I flashed new cm-12-20150209-NIGHTLY build and it worked!
Can we change the kernel from Cynogen recovery to CWM ? and can CM 12 work with CWM?

Try fotakernel, use either cwm or twrp, they are permanent (until you flash the original fotakernel)
Hey All,
I was updating TWRP from 2.6.3.3 and I tried 2.8.7.0 via Odin 3.09. It was unresponsive and looping. I flashed back to 2.6.3.3, and then stepped up with each version until 2.8.6.0. I could not get 2.8.7.0 to work. Is that version designed for Lolipop? I am still running the stock linux kernal 3.4. Do I need to update the Kernal? I have been looking at Hyperdrive, I would like to stay with a TW ROM for all the Samsung stuff. What do you suggest?
Thanks!!
**Edit**
Thanks forum for not spoon feeding me. I found the answers after work.....I guess I shouldn't post at work...LOL. I flashed stock 4.4.2, Twrp 2.6.3.3 (wouldn't see my SD Card, Flashed to 2.8.4) Rooted, Wiped and loaded Hyperdrive. All Better.
Thanks for helping me, by not helping.....
