Not able to flash ROM anymore in Samasung Note 2 (N7100))

Hi,
I had rooted my samsung galaxy note 2 a year ago. Till then I successfully flashed many ROMs. However recently when I tried to install DN3 (Ditto Note 3) ROM, when it rebooted my phone stuck on the "Samsung Note GT-n7100" logo and could not move further. It was "soft" bricked. I installed Philz recovery through ODIN and able to restore my data. After then I tried 2-3 times to install the same ROM but every time the installation failed in between.
At last I tried to install Phoenix touchwiz ROM but my phone got hanged again in between during installation. It seems there is some problem in my internal memory card which comes in between during installation.
Do I need to format my internal memory? Please let me know the probable causes of this issue.
Just wanted to tell you that all the time I wiped cache + Wipe Cache partition + Wipe Delvik Cache before commencing installation.
your comments would be greatly appreciated!

Are you sure you have correct recovery? Phils v6 is incompatible with Aroma installers, you should use v5.15

Earlier I used "ROM Manager" to install the ROM but when it hanged then I used Philz 6.0. Should I use Ver. 5 for the same?

If you are installing ROMs from recovery and those ROMs have AROMA installer you should use Phils 5.15. Version 6.x hangs on Aroma.

[Q] Problem flashing new system, boots into recovery

Hello,
I flashed my device (recovery only) with Odin, installing TWRP v2.6.3.0. The recovery works properly. After that, I did a complete wipe and I flashed my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 WiFi with this ROM. Unfortunatelly it boots into recovery every time and I can't install any ROM on my device. Is there any way how to fix it, or am I completely lost? I've installed cynaogen mod in similar way on my I-9000 and everything worked fine, so this accident was a real surprise for me. Please, could anyone help?
Regards,
Max

I am having the same problem with my G Tab 3 7 -ST217 from Sprint. I have root access. At first I could only reboot to recovery ONCE after Odin. Now I can consistently reboot to recovery. Every time I try to install anything from a zip in TWRP then reboot, it didn't install and instead restarts the factory android and goes through the first time startup and update cycle. Can't seem to get a ROM to stick.

When you do the ROM installation with TWRP, do you see a message after installation saying "unable to mount" or something similar? If so, the ROM was not installed and the device would either stop at the boot logo or restart to recovery. You might need to try flashing a different recovery.
Thats one theory. The other is that there was a problem with the ROM. Maybe corrupted during download or something of that sort. In which case re-download and if a md5 is there run the checksum and try again.

[Q] Xposed, TWRP, Bootloop, Help!?!?!?!

Hello, this will be my first post here at XDA, and i will be asking for your help guys...
I am experiencing bootloop on my phone.
The thing is I tried to install Xposed Installer using the Automatic method that flashes to the recovery.
It reboots them...
It passed the Galaxy Note II N7100 black screen...
It shows the TWRP logo (The blue one)
AND THEN IT JUST REPEAT AND REPEAT the TWRP logo.
I can boot to Download Mode.
Tried removing the battery and tried to enter recovery again using hardware keys, same thing happens.
What can I do now? Please Help.
Thank You!
P.S. I am running DN3 4.3 Stable using it's stock kernel.

Well something was messed up when you flashed xposed installer( i don't know what you mean by automatic method) but do a clean install,since you can get into download mode,grab the twrp img.tar and flash it using pc odin ,then you can access recovery, do all the wipes again by going under "advanced" and reflash your rom.Now to install xposed go to xda thread for it and grab the apk from there (i think it's available on play store as well).You should have no more issues
Twrp

Like the previous post said I'm not sure what you've done. When xposed framework is installed there is usually an unistall zip created on the internal so card. If you can get recovery find it and flash it

The device is now fixed.
So okay, I followed the above instruction to flash a fresh TWRP. It does not work that way, it still has bootloop on the blue teamwin screen, what i've done is flash a .tar Philz specified for my device and then try to boot it. It boot and then it then flashes the pending Xposed script/flashable that I think TWRP can't execute that's why it bootloop. When it CWM successfully flashed it, I boot and wen't to homescreen. Then I now flashed TWRP via odin.
Thanks everyone, my Note 2 has come back to life.

Boot into Download mode and flash philsz touch recovery 6 and reboot device .. Everything will be ok>

Old thread may be old, but it's still relevant.
I just tried to install XPosed as well on my Note II and it did the same thing (mine's AT&T)
Info
Device: Note II
XPosed Version: 2.6.1
Install Method: "Recovery (flash zip automatically)"
Recovery Image: TWRP
Mine exhibited the same behavior as OP's, however after leaving it alone for a while to bootloop recovery as much as it wanted to, I came to my laptop, found this post, grabbed as USB cable, and I was just about to start the process of reflashing recovery when all of a sudden I saw my lock screen.
It took roughly five minutes of bootloop to get it there, but it successfully installed XPosed and my device is running fine.
So, for all the other Googler's out there that landed on this post, leave it alone for a while! See what happens. If it's still bootlooping, like, 30 minutes later, then try reflashing TWRP using ODIN. If that still doesn't work, reflash a new ROM using TWRP.

Im pretty sure your rom that you are running is corrupted, this has happened to me
when this happens recovery will not let you run that ROM. So it will
keep rebooting into recovery. Try this, go into recovery Wipe Data,Cache and Dalvik
then reboot, if it still doesn't work try flashing a Rom.

my rom is the orginal sumsung rom that came with the device only rooted.
i will try wiping the data/cach/dalvik and then maybe restore an old backup that i have.
thanks for the advice.

well it didnt work.
i also tried to recover a working version of my rom and still boot loop to recovery.
plus when i power it off and connect the power cord it startup automaticaly to recovery.

I think The onlyest way is to flash a Stockrom to your Tab.
Then try to flash a Recovery to your Tab again, but i prefere CWM or Philz Touch not TWRP.

maybe i should install philz on top of twrp and then restore old backup?
i dont think i can get the orignal frimware form samsung in my country.

The prob is, only with CWM or Philz you restore Backups froh there, is The backup froh TWRP you need TWRP as Recovery.
Download from sam The Version what is in The box .

well i found the orginal rom in .img file at samfirmware. i belive its pure stock - i know that someone of you can confrim this - but how to i flash it?
i belive is with odin buth as for the instracion. is it like flashin recovery with odin? if so i will follow that instracation and give it a go.

I have the same problem, did anybody figure this out?

ended up just reflashing the stock rom from odin instead of twrp and it worked.

Fix

So I've done this before, attempting to install a different type of ROM, the only way to repair this is to return to stock via Odin. Download the stock rom in the 10.1 dev thread, reboot into download, and flash via Odin.

Stuck in CWM / Crash on every Rom installations

Hi everyone
Sorry in case of repost.
I have a P5210 (Samsung Tab 3 Wifi). Once rooted everything was allright until I entered in recovery mode from the Rom Toolbox app.
I'm now stuck in a recovery loop mode and can't get out (CWM v6.0.4.7)
I've tried everything from factory reset / cache and dalvik cache wipe, to "fix" zips and so on. But nothing changes.
I've tried to reinstall CWM by putting a recovery image into a script and flash it through CWM. Seems to be done correctly, but when I reboot, it's still the same CWM (no update)
Eventually, i've tried to install some custom ROMs to start fresh : Every installation crashes at "WRITING SYSTEM PARTITION". I get black screen and a reboot.
And I've tried every custom Rom compatible with P5210.
Can you help me to get back to a clean configuration ?
N.

Hi
It seems you were on kitkat rom which may have updated your bootloader to kitkat version. The CWM needs to be updated to work well with kitkat. I had similar problem with my SM-T210, and solved the problem after updating CWM as per this post for T210:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853
Your tab is different from mine so i think you need a fresh stock rom install using odin, then find an updated CWM for your tab.
