[Q] Cant flash custom kernel - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, im trying to flash the perseus alpha 3.36 kernel but for some reason whenever I try to install it I get a black screen on boot, or boot loop on device name logo, to fix it i simply load up my nandroid backup.
I've tried installing it via odin:
Once it finishes installing it says Pass with a green background but when it resets , bootloop/blackscreen
I've tried installing it via twrp using a kernel changer from the assassin ressurection custom rom thread.
Oh and 1 important detail: I'm using stock rom (rooted)
I did check see someone saying they got it to work on there phone using a stock rom, so why cant I?
ThanQ

after flashing and the bootloop / black screen can you still get to recovery ?
i copped this a few times when i first had android on my i9000 turned out although designed for my phone the phone didnt like it, and had to use a different kernel.
if you can get into recovery try flashing it again
or get to d/l mode then with adb
adb reboot recovery

Screen stayed in samsung

Mine is stock 2.3.6 rooted.
I tried to flash other rom today after installing cwm.
However, I am not familiar with flashing...after flashing and reboot, the sreen only stayed in samsung
also I could not restore in cwm , as it said it failed to do( I pressed backup before in cwm..why it doesnt work)
and How could I install the stock rom again now?
download mode and recovery mode is available
I tried to use odin to install recovery again and the stock rom again.(installation is successful)
however, it just keeps rebooting(now showing the samsung-->GTS5660-->animation-->animation again-->animation again)
finally it is working now, as I tried to flash many times
However, I dare not to flash rom anymore..and I do not know really how to flash rom
go to recovery and do factory reset and then reboot

[Q] Bootloop

Hi guys,
My N7100 was rooted and has been working fine for almost a month now. I have flashed several custom ROMs and have had no issues.
Today I restarted the phone to recovery and the phone shows the initial blue TWRP screen and then goes back to show Samsung logo and this keeps on repeating over and over.. meaning, can't enter into the recovery mode.
I am able to enter in download mode though. Downloading 4.1.2 stock ROM for my country so I can hopefully flash it through ODIN.
If possible I would wish to retain the ROM that's on the phone and use it as before. Any idea as to why the phone can't enter into TWRP? Will it help if I flash CWM via ODIN and reboot the phone after entering CWM?
Flashed CWM via ODIN and rebooted. Back into my custom ROM.
Not sure why TWRP stopped working all of a sudden. Anyway, all is well now.
For anyone who may go through the same, here is the topic to download CWM from.

plssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss help me
Have you tried resetting with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
With this you can flash the stock boot image back, and hopefully after that you'll be able to flash everything else you want.
Alternatively you could flash stock Rom and Kernel with Odin.
If you have Kies installed, make sure that it is not running while Odin is running. They don't like each other.
You said you wanted to flash a Rom, what exactly were you trying to flash? Are you sure it was the right Rom for your device?

[Q] Won't boot rom or cwm recovery - only download mode

Hi! I have encountered a problem, and really hope someone can help me!
Two days ago i flashed Omnirom Nightly on my n7105 to get Android 4.4. I was running cmw recovery but couldnt get the ota updates to work, so i was trying to flash open recovery instead. I used an apk that was supposed to install a script.
When i rebootet my phone, all i could get was the Note 2 boot image. It wont boot into recovery mode, or the rom. I am however able to boot into download mode.
Custom Binary download: Yes (4 counts).
Current binary: Custom
System Status: Custom.
How should i proceed? I've already tried to reflash cwm recovery, which did work, but didnt solve the problem. I am currently downloading stock firmware, but the file is 1.2 GB so it will take i while. Figured i should ask here in the meanwhile.
I'm not an expert at Android at all, im just a guy enjoying having custom roms and playing around a little. I do know that there are a lot of very talented people in this forum, and i really hope someone can help me find a solution. I've been googling for hours, but cant find anything that seems to work for me / or i dont fully understand and wont risk try before someone approves it.
Thank you, Vetle
EDIT: Is it correct that i cant flash any custom rom trough Odin? Or could i just flash omnirom again trough Odin?
If i manage to flash the stock rom and the bootloop goes away, will everything go back to normal, so i can flash cmw again and then a custom rom again?
No custom rom can be flashed through odin, as most of them are zip cwm/twrp base.
When u can only go to download mode, an official firmware only can help u through odin.

Thanks for the answer!
Yup, i have flashed a stock rom now and i got the stock recovery. Everything was working fine.
Then i proceeded to do a factory reset in the stock recovery and flashed cwm trough Odin. When it was done, it wouldnt let me into recovery again! I can still boot up the phone tough.
I've also tried Open recovery. CWM via Rom manager. Open Recovery trough Goo Manager... Still cant get recovery to work, the stock rom works tough.
Any ideas?
Okay, i tried to flash the stock rom again and installed Rom Manger.
It still showes TWRP and CWM under installed recovery and i guess these its these two who makes the problem.
My plan now is to figure out how to completely remove them. I've never done anything related to adb before, so i hope it possible to remove them in another way?
This is so weird. Somehow i managed to install CWM Touch via Rom Manager and it booted. When i choose reboot /pull battery it will only boot straight into CWM again. I tried to flash TWRP via Odin, wich sucseeds, but then it reboots into CWM again!
I am soo lost its almost funny!
EDIT: Since i could get into cwm now, i tried to flash omnirom, but it aborts and all i get is status 7...?
EDIT2: Latest now is that i suddenly managed to install TWRP via Odin, but i still cant install the latest omnirom, all it says is "updating partition details".

I had recovery problems in the last few days also.
Installed DN3 rom using philz recovery, because its capable of prepare the phone to a new rom in a easy way.
It all went fine until first reboot.
I had a recovery boot loop. All I could see were some buttons and then reboot again.
Like you I had download access and flashed philz with Odin, but no luck.
Installed twrp via Odin and all was fine, and flashed philz new version.
Then I had to flash a new kernel (to be able to access wifi) and it all started again. Now I'm back on twrp.
Let's see what happens on my next flash.
My suggestion is to flash the recovery, and if that's OK flash the rom and use it
Next time you need recovery get Odin to help, but not all the way from an original rom. Just the custom recovery.
But if you want to get rid of your strange recovery configuration, and you are not already on new 4.3 recovery(which in your case could explain some of the problems you had) , with knox, install an older original rom, 4.1, and make all the steps, root it, install a custom recovery, and from there the room you want.
Reading your path sorting this problem, that was what would do next
Best regards

[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.
