My Note 2 used to work fine on 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, stock and unrooted.
Then I rooted and flashed a 4.2.2 ROM (I think this ROM was banned from xda, so I'm not going to mention its name). It ran fine on this ROM, except for some hiccups inevitable for a custom ROM. I even upgraded this ROM a couple of times with no issues.
Then I made a stupid mistake. Before upgrading my 4.2.2 ROM again, I decided to factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, and "Clean to install new system" in PhilZ Touch CWM. I then flashed the ROM and ended up with a boot loop. So I used Odin to flash the latest stock ROM for my country and operator.
Then the freezing started. Sometimes also reboots, but mostly freezing.
There is no pattern to it, it freezes when I'm on the lockscreen, opening an app, swiping through homescreens, using maps, taking photos...
Sometimes it freezes ten times a day, some days it doesn't freeze at all.
I have done multiple factory resets, I have reflashed the stock ROM, rerooted and flashed the 4.2.2 ROM again to no avail. It's only a matter of hours before it freezes again, even with no extra apps installed.
eMMC check says I have the insane chip, but it passes the sector test and Dummy File Generator didn't freeze my phone either.
What do you think it could be? Could this be early symptoms of SDS?
Nobody has any idea?

Try going back to 4.1.1 and see if the problem is solved do this with full wipe there are many others also havng similar issue in 4.1.2 may be its a bug on 4.1.2/LJ2/LL4/LL7
I wouldn't want to go back and risk SDS. I have the insane chip.
What if I flash a DMC3 LK7 ROM?
I am on DMB2 LK4 right now and I read somewhere that DMB6 fixes this issue, so it should also be fixed in DMC3, right ?

Well it should fix as it looks latest version however u give it a try taking a nandroid backup
I don't need to be rooted to flash a different stock ROM, right ?
I'm not going to do a nandroid backup because I've just reflashed this stock ROM yesterday and I barely have any data worth saving.
I seem to have solved the freezing with the DMC3 LK7 ROM. No more freezes as of yet.

So today i have had nothing but problems with flashing roms. I was on the PAC rom nightlies, but decided to go back to touchwiz roms due to the wifi calling. I tried flashing wicked v4, booted fine but once i reboot, got stuck at the samsung boot logo. tried reflashing/wiping/flashing other roms, including PAC again, all would result in getting stuck at the samsung boot logo. so i used odin to go completely back to stock. That wouldnt boot at first, so i tried wiping data in stock recovery, luckily that got it to boot. I then re-rooted and tried to flash infamous 2.5. same thing, got stuck at the samsung boot logo. finally, i was able to get infamous google edition to boot, but isnt what i want (since it doesnt have wifi calling), but is the only thing i could get to boot.
So does anyone have any idea why my phone is being so moody, or am i just having a bad day?
edit:i will attempt to try and flash infamous 2.5 when i get out of work to see if my phone is in a better mood, but right now i just need a working phone
edit 2: if its relavent, before i used odin, i was using twrp recovery, but after odin, i used clock work mod touched
I also having the same problem, by just rebooting on jedi it goes into bootloop. My guess is either the kernel or the recovery (no expert). On my friends ATT it bootlooped only because I didn't flash the required Ktoons kernel. As for Tmobile I'm not sure of the bootloops, but to fix it i just dirty flash a rom and it works but it happens usually after i flash some add ons.
Both of the problems here are kernels, change to another kernel, should fix these problems.
Good luck
If that does not work, come back here, we will figure something else out.
just tried flashing infamous 2.5, this time with ktoonz kernel, same result, stuck at samsung.
Going to try wicked v4 this time

What recovery are you using? I know twrp latest is very buggy for most people...also I heard its not fully cleaning people phones for a flash and what not..Im quite sure its a recovery bug for you

Check SD card
I had a similar issue where my S4 just decided to go into a bootloop on the way to work. A coworker of mine's wife's S3 did the same exact thing and we were finally able to pin it down to both having a SANDISK 32GB micro sd card. Once I pulled the card (after having ODIN'd back to stock and pulling my hair out my desk =/) the phone booted right up. Since all I had on there was music I stuck it in after the phone booted, reformatted it from the stock odin restore (MDL), and I haven't had any issues since. Just figured I'd let you know what caused me to go insane for a few hours since it wouldn't boot after flashing anything at all and only occasionally boot from a clean odin restore or fresh wicked flash. After talking to another guy at work that has a note II, S3, and S4 apparently I'm not the only one that's had this issue pop up.
Since I fixed it I've been running Infamous GE (Infamous Kernel) and The leaked GE 4.3 build without issue.
Wow, SanDisk sd cards have been really sucKing lately. I'll try taking out my sd card if it ever happens again

I'm using a PNY SD card... just flashed the 7.2 version of infamous, and out of 20 boot attempts, 2 or 3 booted past the GS4 logo.
seems to work if I go back into recovery and factory reset, boot again, and that's the only way I've gotten past the GS4 screen.
Im using TWRP
I've since figured out the problem. For whatever reason when you wipe the cache & dalvic with twrp, sometimes something happens where your internal memory fills up completly, leaving you with no space. Formating the internal from twrp fixes that, but of course you loose everything not on your sd card. Can confirm this problem in twrp 2.6.0 also, since it happend a few times for me
I now just use clock work mod touch, and haven't had the problem since. Pity though,I prefer twrp

So, first off, just wanna say that I have a RIDICULOUS amount of experience with flashing roms. Literally over 100 different devices and 1000s of different flashes of my own devices on top of it. Quite familiar with this S2 as well and have customized them to all sorts of extents, but this one has me baffled. This phone refuses to run 4.2.2/4.3/4.4.x roms. Using the most up to date radio and the suggested TWRP (2.6.1.0) as well as CWM 6.0.44 and the newer TWRP: 2.6.3.0. Every time the phone will get to the set up screen, refreeze and boot. No issues running stock or stock based 4.1.2 roms. I've tried changing recoveries, wiping everything (/system, /data, /caches) repeatedly, Odin back to stock and redoing everything, switching kernels, wiping caches before rebooting and leaving it be, changing batteries, etc but nothing has worked. So far I've tried BlackLiquid 2.92 (4.2.2 stable), Awesome Audio rom (4.3), official CM11 (whatever the last build up was last night), and BeanStalk 4.4.2 (12/16) and all behave exactly the same - freeze on start up and reboot. This doesn't seem to be much of a widespread issue obviously, so just baffled and getting a bit frustrated as this should have been a 20 minute process that has turned into a few hours already. Since USB Debugging isn't on by default on newer roms, how would I even do a logcat to see if there is anything meaningful there? Any ideas?
Update: I have another S2. Performed same steps, same TWRP, same radio and rom, on same external SD card and that one booted right up like normal confirming that it is the phone itself, but what causes that?? Corrupted partitions?
I have the same problem, just format your internal and external sd card with just ROM file on your storage then try to install, than please inform me

Nope. No luck there (only tried Beanstalk so far, but exact same issue). Thanks for the suggestion though! Only using internal storage, no SD card, though thinking I might try that next...
Edit: Just to be thorough, I formatted internal storage via TWRP and my computer then readded the files and just tried to boot rom only and freezes before I can do anything.
Do you by chance have a refurbished s2?
The screen has been replaced by a friend of mine and he managed to mess up the soft keys with it, but everything else functions. That's actually why he sent it to me, so I could hook him up with Pie and all that kind of thing so the soft keys aren't an issue. What's your thoughts on the refurb side of it?

ok lets stat it with this
1) download both the scripts of infamous wipe cache and infamous super wipe.
2) format your both SD card with PC (FAT32)
2) put both these wipe files and and your rom file ( i prefer try slimbean rom first)
3) Now in twrp 2.6.0.0- follow the steps
i) format your phone with twrp options
ii) again format your phone with infamous super file. (by going in to INSTALL ZIP file option in TWRP)
iii) than format with infamouse cache file (by going in to INSTALL ZIP file option in TWRP)
iv) install your rom and compatiable GAPPS zip file.
v) after installing or somewhere between procedure if twrp says something about supersu birnaries are not correct than click on DO . NOT FIX
vi) again format infamouse cache wipe.
vii) now FINALLY reboot the rom.
it should work, and it worked for me. if u sucessfully run the rom than you can eailsy run all the AOSP roms in this forum. Again If you try this please do tell me what happend.
Followed to a "T" and still in the same boat - freezes after bootup. I used those same steps before with another darkside wipe script (maybe older?) but yea, have already been down that road. I did downgrade to 2.6.0.0 and used Slim 4.3 because 4.4 is supposed to use the newer TWRP, just to be certain, but GRRR. I guess we're just gonna have to settle for a 4.1.2 rom and call it a day. :/
So here are the log output from the wipes:

I see some stuff at the bottom of those that might indicate something weird, but I am not adept at interpreting these, so just wondering if someone could point me to the right direction about the repair checks and what not listed on these. Thanks!
Edit 2: I did get a AOSP based 4.1.2 rom to boot with no problems! wtf... LoL
Last Edit:
Problem solved! I used basically the same steps I had been doing but once the AOSP 4.1.2 rom booted then now everything works like it should again. Have loaded a 4.3 and 4.4 rom successfully. Thanks for the help!

Interesting, so you're saying it's phone specific?
That begs to ask other questions now:
1. Where did this phone come from? is it a Tmobile version (SGH-T989) or AT&T (i-1900)?
2. You mentioned you got it from a friend; did it come rooted? unlocked? Or did you have to do that process yourself?

Yep, very much phone specific. Used same recovery, same rom zip and gapps off the same external SD card, to be certain. That one updated just like every other S2 I've done. And it's the Tmo version. The At&t models are i777 S2 or i727 S2 Skyrocket. The i9100 is international and has a physical home button. But the phone was not modified at all. No root, custom recovery, etc. I was only able to resolve it by first starting with an AOSP 4.1.2 rom and working my way up to 4.4. One of the weirder issues I've come across.

Sorry, I don't pay attention to the notifications on XDA very often. I don't usually browse the S2 forums unless needed because I have an N5, but anyway... The 4.1.2 rom you used, was it TW or AOSP type? I used 2.6.0 to wipe everything, then used cache and superwipe zips then 4.1.2 AOSP type rom then cache wipe zip again then after that booted, I was able to go back to 2.6.1 and flash a 4.3 via wiping, wipe zips, installing rom then cache wipe again. After that, repeated with a KK rom and now it loads roms just like it should. If you want more precise help, feel free to hit me up on Hangouts with my username: es0tericcha0s. Good luck! I know how frustrating it can be when it gets a little out of whack like this...
I'm in the same boat
Same here. I just bought a galaxy s2 from my friend (tmobile version) and I too get stuck in a bootloop no matter what rom I use. It boots up freezes then reboots 7 keeps doing that endelessly. I've even wiped using twrp & darkside then reflashed the stock rom in odin, but no luck. strangely it only happens on the cellular network, otherwise it works fine on wifi. But when I turn off the wifi and go to the cellular network I can't even turn on the wifi anymore and still stuck in this boot loop It's wierd and frustrating.

Hmm. That's interesting... This is happening on the stock rom - where you turn on cellular data and it reboots? Definitely a different issue than the one I was having. Which stock rom were you flashing via Odin? Have you tried other versions of the stock rom and had the same problem?

I just started working on a VZW S3 on T-Mobile service that has this issue. Happens on stock VZW 4.1.2, stock T-Mobile 4.1.2 rom, custom 4.1.2 T-Mobile rom, and stable CM 10.2. Weirdest thing... full wipes including /system inbetween each flash. Changed the modem too. Nothing helps. Pretty sure it's a bad board at this stage.
Cool beans, 0! Having this exact problem, will try your method for my s2, btw which aosp 4.1.2 did u use? Can I get a link? Thanks been having the problem for a few months now and just gave up haha, been super thirsty for that beanstalk kk build
One last thing can u also provide a link to the 4.3 that u used? I really want it to work and want to follow what u did to the , megabyte
Hi there, I am not new to installing Roms in any way but I accidentally installed a d2lte Liquid smooth ROM instead of what my phone is, a d2att. So when installing the above ROM I did everything what I was supposed to do (clean install, format system). However, whenever I go on any ROM (Such as Quantum or Omni) I get an error as soon as it boots up, and my signal keeps turning on and off. I wiped data, cache and dalvik twice and go to a new ROM and the problem persists. For some odd reason, Carbon ROM works but I need a different one due to battery drain. I've never experienced this problem ever and I was hoping someone could please help me out?
Have you tried re-flashing the modem?

Yes i tried that earlier but still no luck. It's weird though how there was no problem on carbon rom and yet there was a problem when i went back to the Quantum Rom. Something happened on the LiquidSmooth Rom but i don't know what. I will again try reflashing the modem though thank you.
EDIT: Re-flashing modem did not help
Is it possible to use Odin to get back to a completely stock rom? If you have a 4.3 bootloader, you can't use Odin to flash a stock ROM.
A way to get back to a stock ROM for those on the MJB bootloader has been provided by enewman17. See AT&T I747 UCUEMJB Stock Restore in the development forum.
Hey guys, i just upgraded from our t989 to a moto x and i decided to start testing roms out on the t989 since its not my main phone anymore, i only flashed about two roms and i have already done something wrong, flashed Aokp Milestone first, nothing wrong here enjoyed aokp back in 4.2.2 days. now i have always wanted to use Jedi mind trick but i was worried about the problems with it, so i made a backup of Aokp and Wiped data/wiped cache and flashed darkside wipe then flashed Jedi mind trick and rebooted. it got stuck at the splash screen like the details in the rom said but now when i try to make a backup, wipe data, cache, flash Jedi mind trick, flash darkside wipe it will freeze, i have tried flashing Cyanogenmod 10.2 and still freezes, i decided to just restore to stock but Odin 1.8.5 will not find my Device when it goes into download mode. right now i am trying my aokp Backup it had been going Fine for awhile but it looks like it might have Froze on /storage/sdcard0: mounted. any help please? i dont think i could google this problem.
Edit: now when i boot into cwm it says Can"T open /cache/recovery/last_log twice.
plugged it into a different computer and got odin working, could anyone show me the correct way to install Jedi mind trick? also it comes with that kernel so it can be overclocked to 2ghz right?

But for any 4.1.2 touchwiz roms ...personally I flash twrp 2.5.0.0. 2.6.0.0 is probably OK, but any higher can cause issues with 4.1.2.
Also, you should use the infamous wipes. Darkside is outdated. I believe infamous wipes are based on dark side, but they've been updated for jelly bean. Darkside wipes stopped being updated at ICS.
See how that works.
Oh, and for more current 4.1.2 ROMs, @Rushing has a few.
