stuck on boot image - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I am have been trying to flash a new custom rom on my Note II. I have tried to flash Dirty Unicorns new build w/ TWRP and keep getting "fail" message. I also tried flashing CyanogenMod rom using RomManager and TWRP and its stuck on the boot image and the rom never loads. Any suggestions??

Dump twrp and use philz recovery. Also make sure you wipe everything. If you use philz choose factory reset option the wipe for new ROM option. Also on main menu choose mounts then wipe data data/media. This will wipe your internal sd card so make sure you back it up first.

thanks! but how do i dump TWRP? I tried flashing CWM custom recovery but for some reason TWRP still overrides it when I go into recovery mode.

It could be an incompatible kernel issue. Did you do a full wipe prior to flashing?
no i did not how do i do it is there a tutorial hon how to do it
In your recovery you would clear the cache and dalvik, do a factory reset as well and if available a system wipe. Then flash your ROM. You're S-OFF/ON? What does the development thread for your ROM say?

If you look at the download instructions on the OP of the ROM you will see that you need to use AmonRa recovery. Are you using Rom Manager? If so I suggest that you navigate to the bottom of the Rom Manager where it asks to install an alternate recovery and it will install AmonRa. Your next step would be to reboot into recovery again then select wipe and wipe everything 3 or 4 times then reflash the ROM.
Why do we have to wipe 3 or 4 times? Shouldn't a "wipe" wipe everything the first time?

just to make sure people dont complain about bugs if they didnt wipe a few times
Hey Ortizsal you may want to give this new recovery a shot... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339654 is AmonRA recovery that can also flash you're already saved CWM recoveries.

Your phones fine
If you can get into recovery. wipe data, wipe factory reset, wipe dalvik wipe cache. Flash cm10. Flash gapps. Reboot.
If you can't wipe anything in recovery and it freezes up. Your recovery is broken and you have to reflash it via Odin. Then go back and do what I said above
NEVER USE DARKSIDE SCRIPTS WITH CWM 6.XXXXXX OR TWRP 2.2.XXXXXXX OR 2.3XXXXX

I don't know what your saying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcffczu-0qA&feature=youtube_gdata_player. Watch this video. Download the files specified but the only files you will actually need are the Odin app and "Hercules.tar.cwm file. The only steps youd actually need to follow start at 3:50 and end at 6:27. This method will reinstall cwm version 5.0.xxxxx. As usual hold up down power to get into recovery mode. Use dark side super wipe and reinstall ROM and gapps then dark side cache wipe. since it IS the older cwm version 5.0.xxxx you do need the scripts. Once everything looks good and you decide to upgrade your recovery DONT use the scripts anymore. The newer recoveries do the work for the scripts
Edit:
Unlike the video explains you want to enter download mode before connecting your phone to Odin. I think to get into download mode you hold volume up / down then plug USB from pc into phone.. All at the same time

Am I bricked?

Hello,
I have been flashing multiple roms today in hopes of getting something to work. However, it's always the same situation:
1. Followed instructions for flashing.
2. Flash goes well
3. Reboot
4. Stuck on initial splash screen for that room
Am I missing something? Or am i just bricked?
Thanks
Well, first how long did you wait? First boot always takes the longest. If it takes more then 5 minutes, reboot into recovery and delete cache and dalvik.

It was over 10 minutes. After I did what you said, it keeps rebooting now into recovery mode.
Here's what I currently have on:
1. CWMR 5.8 -Touch
2. TDJ Evo 4 v0
After a few booths I'm still stuck at the splash screen.
You may need a different recovery. The old recoveries did not wipe correctly. I recommend the latest TWRP

+1. Here is a flashable zip to TWRP 2.3.3.0.
http://db.tt/uvBu75ph
It doesnt really matter what recovery he's on. The problem is he's not wiping his previous rom before flashing the new rom. On cwm I believe you go to mounts and storage, then go down to format/system. I never used cmw touch so I might be wrong. A safe bet is to google "darkside super wipe" and "darkside cache wipe". Download the zips and save onto your sd card. Then just flash those two before flashing rom. And you can flash the cache wipe again after flashing rom and gapps (its recommended by some devs but I never got the point since the caches havent been built yet)

Thanks for the help everyone!
I managed to get All Star Rom 5 to load. I'm using that to download goomanager and install TWRP.
I love All Star Rom, but Wifi Calling is a must. I think Infamous is where I'm headed. Any issues with TWRP on that one?

I was wiping and doing all that.
So, after I got goomanager, I installed TWRP. Through that I attempted to install Infamous 3.1. Now, all I get is the Samsung Galaxy screen before recovery/booting, and nothing but black. I'm not sure what I screwed up this time around. Any ideas?

Agree to disagree
Goo manager wiped your recovery. You need to enter download mode and use odin to put cwm back on. Then flash the twrp zip file that was posted above.

Thanks for your reply. I figured that out after spending 15 minutes looking for a TWRP file to flash through odin. I used CWM and everything worked like a charm. Reflashed TWRP. Then I downloaded Infamous. Didn't flash it through goomanager. Instead booted into TWRP, found it, then flashed. Everything is good now. Thought I was bricked for a few minutes there.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Carbon ROM 1.1

I just tried flashing this ROM. I can't seem to get it to boot right. I installed the ROM and GAPPS through CWM. When I reboot after installation, the Samsung flashes on the screen and there is no boot screen, nothing, black screen of death! I thought it might just take a minute but nothing happens, the screen remains blank. Any advice?

Did you do a proper wipe?
I flashed that ROM last night and had no issues.
I would restore your backup re download the ROM and make sure your version of clockwork mod is up to date and try again.

I am kinda new to this, when you say a proper wipe? I do wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system, format data, format cache. Another thing is that I couldn't get my back up to work . So I'm a little stuck. I have the backup files on my computer. Sorry, I'm a noob.

That's a proper wipe (actually its a little excessive but better too much than too little)
If you can get into recovery again (volume+ power and home) do a factory reset and reboot again.
If that doesn't work go back into recovery and flash again. (With wipes again) or flash another ROM.
Definitely make sure you have an updated recovery. (Clockwork mod is up to 6.0 something and twrp is at 2.4.1.0
The new Roms are 4.2.2 and need the updated recovery or they won't wipe and flash properly.

[SOLVED] CWM doesn't works on my N7100

Hi all,
i've rooted succesfully mi device with the galaxy note 2 toolkit, and now i want to install CMW recovery.
I've installed the recovery using the toolkit and the process ends without any errors. When i try to reboot my device in recovery mode, my screen goes crazy, it starts flashing for second and does nothing else; i must restart the device using the power button.
I've tried the TWRP recovery and this one works fine.
However, with TWRP i'm not able to flash any rom! i've tried 3 roms but they returns a fatal error...
Where am i wrong?
thanks
I had same use long time ago and I get a working version for @unstableapps in twitter. The link was http://t.co/tbuvmTpKPa but don't know if it still online.
Good luck.
