Flashing rom, breaking stuff, need some help (twrp bootloop) - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, I'm stressed. This is not how I planned it, I'll try to keep it short:
Wanted to do a full clean install of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504016
So what I did:
-Used odin (bootloader) to flash mj5
-Used odin (pda) to flash twrp
-Used twrp to flash rom
-Realised I forgot to wipe, so wiped everything, then wiped media seperate (enter yes to continue) then my N2 rebooted.
Now it's stuck in a boot loop. Teamwin screen keeps flashing every 5 seconds, never going into it.
-Re-flashed twrp via odin, didn't help.
Rom doesn't boot either, bootloop at samsung logo.
**** this is so not good for my stress levels
I have no clue how I broke twrp because I even re-flashed it via odin and still bootloop
Download mode still works thank ****

Okay good news, flashed philz recovery and works! Very happy that I have some sort of recovery back. Now flashing rom, hopefully it boots.
-First boot going on. Very happy now. Sorry for opening this thread, I get REALLY stressed REALLY fast. Once the rom is done booting (which looks like it's going to happen) this thread is not useful anymore, sorry!
-Booting for a few minutes now, stess level is rising...
-Still booting... damn!

Re do the wipes via philz recovery,go under advanced wipe dalvik cache,go and wipe cache partition , then finally "wipe data/factory rest" clean to install new rom,then don't reboot your system cause it won't boot since there's no ROM on it just flash the ROM

I did a full factory reset clean wipe, it does everything for a new rom. Then I flash rom and boot, but booting takes really long. Tried twice, still busy booting second time now 13 minutes...
Didn't do caches last time, I'll try again.

Which philz version are you using?6.25/6.26 is recommended and this other user in DN3 thread couldnt get the rom to boot either by trying latest versions of recovery he used an older version of twrp which is 2.6.3.1/2 and it booted for him.Sometimes recoveries act up for no reason

Thanks. Got new philz and now installing rom third time.
However I didn't see this anywhere?
8) Now go to choose to install the rom zip file. If you using Philz recovery, make sure to untick "Don't Allow Old update-binary" if this option is avalaible.
Not important? Because didn't see it..

Try with twrp 2.6.3.2 ,i know this is annoying that one needs to juggle between recoveries to get a rom to work
Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes for ROM to boot

I don't think it was the fault of odin because I got it working later but the rom has many problems so I guess the rom is just broken. No time today but I'll change my rom soon.

ODIN is pure unreliable for me. I'm still using a version of TWRP I got last year and it's still more reliable than cwm or any other recovery.

[Q] Problem with flashing a ROM

Hello Everyone:
I'm having a problem flashing a ROM. I'm currently on CM 11 from the N7105 forum but would like to revert back to 4.3. I'm trying to flash Skynote Air, the vanilla version. I follow the steps provided and when I try to install the zip, im being given a system 7 error and an error on the zip file. I'm using philz touch CWM by the way. Is it because im on CM11 from the N7105 or is it the zip file? When trying to download the zip file from the ROM thread, it was coming up blank and I downloaded a mirrior. Before the CM11, I was running seanzscreams Sky Note 4.3. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Same place I just downloaded from.. Copying to phone, flashing in 5.
Only difference is I'm using TWRP as my custom recovery.
Only because personal preference... My fat fingers press buttons on Philz by mistake. I hit reboot 80% of the time before I even do anything.
EDIT: I had a copy of Philz on my phone, philz_touch_6.07.9-t0lteatt.zip. My download flashed fine.
I gotta hit the sack... Good luck

I had same Status 7 error. In PhilZ Touch Recovery ( in version 6.19.3 which is actually 6.19.2) in Install menu, make sure you UNCHECK "Don't allow old binary update" then flash rom. You may have a corrupt data partition (I did). If so, you'll have to wipe /data/media partition. Read my post and reference links. Has to do with the change from CWM base 6045 to 6047 .

Glad you're back up and running. .. btw, PhilZ just posted an updated CWM Touch Recovery [6.25.0] for our Note2 [t0lteatt device tree] which now automatically determines if what you're flashing has older binary code embedded in its binary-script to avoid the dreaded Status7 errors.

I allready flashed the stockrom 3 times and i got the same result. also im using the T210XXANC2 firmware.
In CWM, wipe data and factory reset. Then go to Download mode, use Odin and flash your stock rom. That should do it.

What ROM are you trying to flash? You must have missed a step. Make sure you read the instructions carefully before doing anything and use a custom rom for your device. Try again. I'm also new to Android and has softbricked my tab a couple of times now.
Go back to stock. Let your device boot completely. Install recovery again. Reboot again.
To make it easier, how about watching a video so you can see how it's done properly? It helped me a lot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459817

I allready tried 3 roms(seal, 4.2.2 beta 2 and inspire) and all goes to the same result. Also, after installing the cwm i flash first the blackhawk kernel and android boots normally (stock rom with custom kernel) but custom rom with or without custom kernel wont boot.
I had similar problem try flashing seal v3.

Just...can't...restore it.

So, I've never flashed or deeply modified an Android device before. I'm a professional programmer, BTW - and I just finished my first Android app for a customer, so I don't shy away from such things.
I have a Tab 3 7.0 Lite SM-T110 that my son went ahead and flashed...or something...but he hasn't been able to restore it to working condition. I tried today; I can't either.
He had installed CWM 6.0.4.8 and it boots into that when firing it up. I cleared the Dalvik cache, "wipe cache partition", and "wipe data/factory reset"...then tried installing the "full" and "lite" versions from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780068
Both say they installed successfully but upon reboot, nothing changes. I see the Samsung boot logo screen and it goes right back to CWM.
Is there any hope in recovering this back to 4.2.2? I really need a Jellybean device to test on.
Thanks!

You need to restore the stock recovery. Go to sammobile.com firmware section and download the entire firmware for your device and flash it using Odin.
Edit: Here's a link to the U.S. version. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/39024/T110UEUANK2_T110XARANK2_XAR.zip/

Thanks again. I'll have to take a look this weekend. I'm at work and use OS X there, so Odin will have to wait. I download the Java alternative "JOdin" but it doesn't seem to want to connect to my device. Meh.

Oh I'm setting everything up right now for the flash! I'm so excited. Once I realized you linked to a note 5 Rom most of my questions got answered. My favorite part, the kernel was posted on my bday.
i tried wiping and clearing cache then flashing the rom and the kernel. nothing actually happens to my phone. i end up on the same home screen and apps i had installed on moar 5.1.1 with note 5 patch.
any ideas why wiping my phone doesnt work on twrp 3.0.0.0?

Update your TWRP.
https://dl.twrp.me/zenltespr/
yea I tried doing that with Odin and it would freeze mid way. I also tried flashing a twrp update zip file on twrp and that didn't work either.
you think I should flash with flash fire?
bricked my phone by trying to flash newer version of twrp with twrp manager
been trying to flash unbrick tar and pit file to get back up and running but its not working.
any help is much appreciated
fixed the brick by flashing new recovery in Odin, now on 3.0.2. still can't get the phone to wipe out install new rom and kernel

Last thing I can think of is when opening TWRP the first time. It asks if you want to make the system 'read only'. Did you select No?
I never got that message when I flashed twrp 3.0.2 to unblock... how do I make it show up?

Not sure. You can click mount and see what is mounted. I am not sure that will work. I am not sure exactly what you are trying to wipe, but mount the items you are attempting to wipe and make sure the read-only is unchecked.
Try this:
Check to see if oem is checked
Re-root via root tar/odin
twrp 3.0.0.1 from edge files post in general
Backup stock
Wipe
Flash Moar
Don't reboot
Flash skyhigh kernel
Flash xposed(don't have to)
Reboot
Allow it to boot loop a couple time (from sky kernel)
Give 5-10 minutes to boot
I just did it with no issues and I've personally had more luck with 3.0.0.1 than any of the others.
heres my issue...twrp doesnt do anything for me (all versions) whether i wipe or install
so i used flashfire to flash the rom and the kernel at once and it finally displayed aroma installer (wouldnt get that in twrp)
however, after it in stalled i got stuck on boot screen
the only fix for this was flashing unbrick aok3 tar file which brought me to stock
i put on twrp as a recovery again starting fresh unrooted and it still doesnt respond to any of my commands
i think i will try flash fire on stock one more time and see what happens since its the only thing that is responding

Your on Lp bootloader that's your issue.
Download Marshmallow tar from the general post I made for rooting Bpg1.
Flash tar and follow post.
twrp. 3.0.x.x is more for marshmallow. You need to be on 6.0.1 not 5.1.1.
Don't use fireflash on this device.
Fireflash is more for phones with locked bootloaders like Verizon s4 on the of1 update.
Fireflash isn't really up to date with our phone and could easily brick your device.

OP3 TWRP not Booting

Hello there,
This is my first XDA thread! This is an issue I ran into.
I just installed CM 14.1 on my OP3. I downloaded the latest TWRP from the official website before flashing it.
Here is the problem. After setting up my ROM, like installing all the required apps, I'm not able to boot into recovery. I tried flashing TWRP again, I downloaded the oneplus recovery from your website and I flashed that one too.
I erased recovery partition and installed both of them again (erasing each time). What happens is, after booting into the bootloader, I select recovery to go to the recovery and it stays blank, unless I reset it by holding the buttons.
Please let me know what I can do.
Same happened to me also. But somehow I fixed it by installing TWRP again by using OnrPlus 3 toolkit. Here is the toolkit forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3398993. Can't post links. Don't forget to put http:// front of it

Thanks for the reply.
Are you sure what happened to is exactly what happened to you? Because I tried the ToolKit and it is not working. I tried both the versions of the TWRP and Stock recovery.
If you know anything else about this issue that would help me. I'd love to hear it.

Also. Does encryption affect this in anyway, because I did it. I don't want to factory reset my phone because this is my primary phone and I don't have another phone. And I don't want to risk it, at least for a few days.

Modified TWRP version should do it
Same, when I flashed cm 14.1 I also got blank TWRP.

Thanks LS.xD. You are awesome. I completely messed up my old Moto X and I didn't have a smartphone until now. I hesitated a lot before installing all custom stuff until I gave in. And this problem made me worry a lot.
Thanks a lot.
