cwm bootloop - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

First time this happens. Was going to do a nandroid from rom manager and the phone got stuck in boot loop. Cwm would start and restart the phone over and over again. I had to do odin back to 4.3 root66.
I was installing a 4.4 tw rom with Agni kernel 4.2.1 and after setting up rom manager if I tried going into recovery it will start boot looping.
has this happened to anyone and fixed it.
Thanks, cheers.

Make sure that you updated to the latest CWM. Android 4.4 support has been added in the latest version and is not able to be flashed on older versions of CWM

Since I did a odin restore, I must have had installed the latest CWM from rom manager. Its after I install 4.4 t rom nd agni kernel that it happans. Very weird thinking of staying on4.3 till I figure this out.
Else I need to next to my PC is it happens again. I was wondering if there was a way to stop booting into CWM since bootinging into the rom has no issues.

Did you make sure that the kernel is compatible with the ROM? Which 4.4 rom are you using and do you have a link to where I can find the kernel.

If rom manager thought you were running a SGH-I317 it may have installed the wrong model's cwm. Get the proper file and flash manually.

Glad to sat it not happening anymore. No CWB Boot loop anymore.
I cannot say how it happened but I think I was flashing to many stuff on first flash and that was causing it.
I followed the directions and let rom settle for 10 minutes before flashing SU, Kernel and key board fix.

Guys i need some advice with rooting my friend's Arc s. Here s what i did
Phone was on official ICS. I unlocked the bootloader using the official method.
Then i rooted it using some one click root method
Then installed recovery using recoverx software
Booted to recovery, wipe data, format system
Then tried to install a rom called racing bean. But i got and status 7 error. I tried some other JB rom.
But got the same error
Then i switched off and tried get to recovey. but could not
So i relocked the bootloader and installed official ICS again to boot the phone. The phone is fine now.
so can anybody help me to properly do this?? I just want to install CM on this phone
Racing bean or any other jb rom needs a JB Kernel too!.the ics kernel and jb rom mismatch might give that error.First flash a jb kernel and then it should work fine. This one's what i use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885559.

I flashed lupus kernel but after that i could not get into recovey. How can i do that?? I had the same problem with Arc fusion kernel
Well,there shouldnt be any problem,vol down or up button while the device lights up(led glows) does the job.But maybe u can try flashing it agn..if still having an issue..use an app like rom toolbox or boot manager to reboot into recovery..btw srry for the late reply
I gave up the effort. I tried about 6 Roms and kernels. Even ICS kernels with ICS roms. But After flashing the rom the phone does not go pass the kernel boot screen. I had to relock the bootloader and flash the stock Rom again. I have flashed hundreds of roms on so many devices. But never faced this kind of situation

Not sure why you would have installed RecoverX if you have an unlocked bootloader as all you need to do is flash a kernel that includes CWM.

Ya right i did flash the kernel via fastboot. Then booted into CWM and flashed the rom. But when i reboot it gets stuck at kernel screen
This happened to me and all I did was leave the phone like 10 mins booting, then it magically worked. I'm using Arc fusion 4.3 with racing bean, no problems. Try this, flash lupus kernel, wipe everything, go on fastboot and flash fusion, try to go on cwm and if it works, try to install racingbean again. At least that's one of the things I did.

Always give the recovery log...

Well if you read most of the 4.4 rom threads you will see you need to use cwm recovery or philz recovery. Since you are using twrp you wont get data to work without going through a few hoops.

I did download rom manager and Philz. I just wasn't sure how to get them to override TWRP. Do I just flash Philz??
Thanks so much for chiming in. I've been rooted for several years, but this update flew right by me.
Keep talking......
Yeah just flash it through ROM manager then reboot into recovery. If it is not philz recovery (although it should be) then you can just flash it in recovery.

I downloaded rom manager, but it doesn't seem to override TWRP. I also tried to flash Philz (which I preferred), but I could only try to flash it with TWRP, and of course, it failed.
Do I need to freeze TWRP in Titanium backup ???
Please re-download Philz and verify md5 then flash in twrp. After flashing in twrp reboot the recovery within twrp and boom! you have Philz!

Like you, I could not get TWRP to leave my device (no matter what I tried). Only thing that finally worked was this flasher utility to get CWM:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools
Granted I didn't try to Odin PhilZ or CWM but that was about the only thing left I hadn't tried.
I had twrp for a recovery. When I installed DU 4.4.2, I downloaded cwm 6.0.4.3 because I guess twrp and 4.4 roms don't play nice. I actually downloaded the cwm recovery, saved it on my external sd, and booted into twrp recovery, flashed the recovery file for cwm, and it rebooted. I boot back into recovery with cwm on board, and then downloaded whatever 4.4 roms and gapps package that was necessary. It works fine for me.

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

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?

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.

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.
