[Q] Newbie Flashing Android revolution hd 12.0 on Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100

Hi Guys,
Im having a problem flashing the Android Revolution to my Phone. I cannot post in the development thread because im really really new, but i've been reading a lot and did not expected this problem at all.
Here's the story.
i have a n7100 JB 4.1.1 rooted
just recently i managed to flash CWM recovery v6.0.1.9 to my phone without any problems using the Galaxy note 2 Toolkit v3
As i was reading the installation guide for ARHD, i have copied the AHRD zip in my external SD about 859mb
booted to recovery mode and wiped data, wiped cache, and wiped dalvik cache
so i thought i was ready to flash the rom....
rebooted to recovery mode after wiping datas and chose install zip from sd card and zip from external sdcard, of course i chose the ARHD zip, confirmed yes Install.
Now here's the big problem, when the aroma installer opens and as i was going thru the process everything would suddenly freeze and gets stuck so i couldn't complete all the process. first time it happened was right after selecting which google apps to install and when asked which samsung apps to remove it suddenly froze waited about 10 mins and still nothing. So i rebooted to recovery mode Volup+home+power and repeated the process but still freezes. sometimes it happens in the "agree" to terms sometimes back to google apps, it happens randomly.. Now i can't install the rom please help me...
Thanks in Advance

have u checked the wipe option in aroma?
try the super wipe script by mike.
NOTE: it will remove all the data from sdcard0.

hey thanks for replying! well the problem is i couldn't even go to the wipe option in aroma because it freezes from the agree terms, i was able to check wipe option in aroma but after that next step the phone freezes in the select apps to install.
as for the superwipe, i have wiped data, cache, dalvik cache from the start... do i still really need that? and i read confirming that superwipe isn't working for CWM 6.0.1.9

Try some other recovery like twrp or philz touch.
Also check hash of the file.

thanks utkarsh for clearing that up. anyway i think this case is an example of a bad download of the rom.
I thought i'll never be able to load up the phone since i did data wipes but when the phone is able to pass the samsung logo, it was just back to factory reset. but surprisingly SuperUser is already installed lols. so i downloaded Criskello Rom instead and that worked. almost gave me a heart attack there. BTW, Criskelo rom is awesome!
Thanks for all the help guys!

[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.

[Q] n7100 probam rom stuck at boot

I recently tried installing probam rom v4.4.9 from xda threads and followed all the instructions. everything worked fine up until the thread said to reboot the phone once more, anyway long story short i rebooted it and it was stuck at the galaxy note 2 logo (white letters black background) it was stuck like this for around 5-10mins at which point i pulled the battery and decided to go back to using rootbox rom.
Is their anyway i can install probam rom without this happening again?
I've also tried downloading and installing probam version 4.5.0 from their own website following the instructions given on xda, but once its booted from twrp it'll work until i have to reset, at which point i am back to square one, being stuck at the galaxy note 2 logo.
I have also tried installing pacman rom because i would like to use a 4.3 rom but the same thing happens, the rom will work fine until i have to reboot or it randomly reboots and gets stuck at the note 2 logo.
the only roms i am able to use without this happening are moon rom v10, rootbox rom and carbon rom, only thing is i would like to use different roms and check out their features, but i am somewhat limited to what i can use due to the above problem. Does anyone else have this issue? If so how did you get past it?

Haven't had the problem myself. Did you also format the system partition and not just wipe it? Wipe the data partition?
Perhaps you can try installing a stock firmware through Odin, reinstall your recovery. That might clean some thing up that keep you from booting in probam rom.

[Solved] Bootloop after flashing any Touchwiz based rom

Hi,
For about a few days, I can't flash any touchwiz based rom, even the ones I could flash without any problem before. After I flash any touchwiz rom, my phone goes into a bootloop cycle. Though I can boot into recovery and download mode with key combinations. I don't know when this happened for the first time but as far as I can remember, it would be after I flashed some 4.4 AOSP rom (could be Omnirom, I'm not sure though)
What I did to recover from boot loop:
- Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and reboot, no joy.
- Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data, reboot, no joy.
- Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data, wipe data/media, reboot, no joy.
- Pulled out the battery between these steps too.
At first, I thought something was wrong about the aroma installer itself because the phone was getting frozen during aroma installer setup screen, then I came up that it was caused due to my older CWM version, so I updated the recovery and it didn't freze again during installation.
And by the way, I've lost my efs partition during these processes, thankfully I've had a nandroid backup from a couple of months before.
Now I'm stuck with AOSP roms and the only way I can use a touchwiz rom is to flash the stock rom via odin. But I want to use the new leaked version based Note3 featured roms.
I've seen similar topics at S4 section but I couldn't be sure if I can do the exact steps for an N7100 international device.
I'm pretty familiar with linux system and I can use adb so I can provide any kind of information you need to diagnose this issue. Thanks in advance. Best regards.
HOW I SOLVED THIS PROBLEM
- Wiped everything (system, data, sdcard, of course internal sdcard)
- Flashed n7100 16GB pit file via odin
- Flashed stock rom via odin
- During these steps, I realized that my CSC code had been changed, I've corrected it acording to my country code
- Rooted my phone again
- Flashed CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery
- Flashed DN3 V3.1 rom
- Bingo, I successifully booted into DN3 rom but had no WIFI
- Flashed MJ5 bootloader
- Rebooted, then WIFI worked without a problem
- Setup my phone and did some restore
It's all good now. Thanks for everything, I hope these steps can help someone facing the same problem.

Guys, I really need some help.. Any idea about what might the problem be?

Download HD wipe script,flash the script zip via cwm/philz then try installing the rom of your choice.
I found the script from tamirda's phoenix rom thread and is very useful:http://d-h.st/fWr

Full wipe cache and reset in recovery menu, clear everything, you should be up and running.

Thanks for the reply. I flashed this superwipe script, then flashed DN3 rom but still I got stuck at Samsung Galaxy Note II screen boot loop. I really don't understand this. What am I missing? What would happen if I wipe the entire internal memory block, I mean the whole things, even the root partition too.. I'm thinking that maybe there's some file inside the root partition that prevents me to flash touchwiz roms or perhaps something wrong about touchwiz based roms' bootloaders.. I'm truely pissed..

Have you read my first message? I remember that I've mentioned I've done already what you ask me to do.. Believe me I wouldn't shoot a new thread if I could've solved my problem with such easy steps. I've already done so many wipes, including internal SD and whatsoever.. I'm really confused and NEED help. Thanks anyway..

I think you can go for the method you mentioned.But also give a try to start fresh i.e pit file flashing...wiping everything n installing stock rom then rooting,flashing custom recovery n then installing any TW custom rom.
Also give other TW based roms a try too.

Im having the same problem but after flashing kernels (e.i. saber & perseus).
Im currently running on Tigra rom. Is this a compatibility issue or im just missing something here too?
I came across flashing bootimg but this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
is for One S, im not sure if will work on Note 2 & haven't tried it yet.
Any suggestions? help pls...

[SOLVED] Unable to install custom rom after modem upgrade

Hello,
I have a unique issue. I'm having a problem installing any custom rom on my t999 (tmobile). I have been using a custom rom for over a year. Always used TWRP. Started with Paranoid Android and for the last few months I've been using PAC-Man (nightly) roms. I was having gps lock issues, I decided to upgrade the modem to a leaked UVUEMJC, this fixed the gps lock issue. But after the reboot, I was stuck on bootloader screen. The only way I could get the rom to work was to backup the rom, flash the system and data, and after that, the rom would work until reboot. I did this a few times until it stopped working. My efs was corrupted, IMEI missing, To recover it, I went into download mode, and noticed in red Warranty bit =1. I used odin to flashed a rooted cf 4.3 samsung touchwiz rom (root66_TMO_T999UVUEMJC). All imei/efs issues were fixed. I decided to try installing a custom rom again, PAC-Man rom, it installed just fine, all EFS/IMEI info was intact, but at reboot, I got stuck on the CM bootlogo. This happens everytime. IF I recover a backup, it gets stuck on the boot logo. I'm using TWRP v2.6.3.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
Thanks!

Install TWRP 2.6.3.1. Then take a Nandroid.
Next wipe /Data. Then flash your Custom Rom. Wipe Dalvik + Cache after the Flash. Reboot and report.

Upgrading to the newest TWRP did the trick! Everything is working fine now. :good:
Thanks for the help!

I'm also having trouble flashing PAC-man.
SGH-T999LUVUBMK4
Factory reset everything, wiped SD card.
Tried latest TWRP and CWM.
Suggestions?

wipe Dalvik and Cache before trying the rom again. If
