[SOLVED] Unable to flash Rom after rooting.

I'm unable to flash any custom Rom after rooting my device. It keeps getting stuck at the boot screen. I've followed all the directions as instructed. I did notice when trying to install a Rom it was not able to access the boot.img or unable to write it? Any help on this would be appreciated.

Did you install custom recovery?

Yes I did. TWRP & CWM. It seems to not be allowing access to write the boot.img?

Check download sum. If you use TWRP check if you un latest version.

what tutorial did you use?
i followed this guide and everything works perfectly
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955423
Download the files needed, flash the .tar (cwm) with odin, go into cwm and flash superuser...done.
also are you pushing the files or using cwm to flash the rom zip?

I followed the guide above. Do I need to have an SD card? I don't have one since I came from a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I was flashing the Rom.zip through TWRP and CWM.

If your already rooted id maybe download goomanager and flash twrp through that, I initially rooted with the toolkit and had a hell of a time with flashing after I rooted, but once I did that I was good to go, just make sure you follow directions to the letter.

you dont have to put your roms on an sd card but i did...i always keep my roms on my sd if my phone has an sd slot
its odd that the flash isnt taking...the boot.img is the kernel....did you check the md5 sum?

I'm so frustrated! I've done everything as posted to root and flash a Rom on my device. I've verified I have root access. I've never had these issues! After rooting my device and flashing any Rom like Jedi it won't load past the start up screen.

are you flash by TWRP ?
Edit : Try flash rom with PC Odin or reflash CWM with PC Odin then try rom again with CWM

Yes, and CWM. It dosn't seem to be an issue with Recovery. It seems to be having issues flashing the Kernel during installation. It seems to not be allowing access to write it. I have no idea why this would be? The device is properly rooted & have verified root access.

Jedi Rom had custom kennel but i dont think that is issue(you can try another rom to see its go though). Like im said before try flash rom with PC Odin or Mobile Odin ( now support our note) or try reflash CWM then try flash rom again.

Why do you think it is having an issue with the kernel? Did you try a cache wipe or factory reset after it loops?

Because when trying to flash the BLACKSTAR Rom it said unable to access or write boot.img, somthing like that. I've tried both. It still doesn't go past the galaxy note start up screen.

How do you install custom Roms like Jedi using Odin?

Try flashing the ROM again in cwm..if it gets stuck at the boot screen..extract the boot.img and push the boot.IMG separately after

I'm stuck. I can't get root back after update to 4.3 - Tried everything

Right guys, usually I'm quite good a figuring these things out myself but this one has me stuck. I've tried loads of suggestions and I'm sure I'm doing something wrong somewhere.
Basically I've just flashed SlimBean, the Android 4.3 version. When I opened SU it says that there is no SU binary installed and that it can't install them. I researched that error message and I have tried the following.
Re-Root using Odin and CF Autroot. The process worked but I still don't have root access. (I checked that I have root enabled in the developer options)
I read that I need to flash SU v1.51 but I now don't have a custom recovery so can't flash the ZIP. I tried using ROM manager which won't work because I don't have Root access.
I decided that I need to flash a custom recovery so I downloaded one from TeamWin (the TAR/MD5 version for Odin) and tried to flash it with Odin. Unfortunately Odin detects my phone, starts file analysis, then crashes. I decided to try flashing it using Goo Manager. This said that it had worked but when I rebooted I still get the stock Android recovery
I tried to flash a CWM recovery using Odin but again it crashes. I was using Odin v3.07 but I downloaded v3.09 and it still doesn't work.
So I HAVE done some searching and tried to resolve myself but I'm stuck now. I could be missing something simple. Any ideas people?

Settings > Developer Options > Root Access then select Apps and ADB. If you can't see developer options go to about phone and tap 6x version number.

Yes mate. That's what I meant in my original post when I said that I'd enabled root.
Thanks for trying to help though, I appreciate it.

Never heard of that to be honest. I'll have a bit of a search and see if it will work for the Note 2.

Problem solved. I didn't directly use Framaroot but when searching for it I stumbled across Philz Touch Recovery which actually did flash with Odin (strange why CWM or TWRP wouldn't work with Odin) so you did help indirectly
From there I flashed DrKetan_MultiTool-AromaVxx.zip and got my Root back.
Thanks

Can you tell me how you did it? I'm fairly new and don't want to brick my phone....again.
I keep having the same trouble with root access as you described and want to give Philz a try.
Thank you bunches!
Irene

One thing I have noticed myself, that unless you are Running Probam which has Super SU as it's native Root, then you will encounter this problem. Installing SuperSu on many 4.3 Roms will break root, from what I have read and tested. Use the built in superuser instead. But it is good to know that Philz works.
So until SuperSu is updated, don't use it.

Download Philz touch Recovery and the SuperSu and Busybox flash file. Place the SuperSu/Busybox flash file onto your phone internal or external memory card. Then open up Odin and select Philz file in the PDA section. Put your phone into download mode by holding Power, Volume Down, Home, you will see the menu asking you to go into download mode. Choose yes. Connect your phone and a yellow or blue box will show up in Odin to let you know it's connected.
Leave the boxes with tickmarks and what not. Then click Start and it will flash. It should reboot your phone.
When rebooted turn off phone. Then Hold Power, Volume up and Home button to boot into Philz recovery choose install zip file and navigate to the SuperSu/Busybox file and choose it to flash. Flash file. Optional but always a good idea, wipe cache/dalvik cache after then reboot phone.

The CWM you flashed is a temporary one.
When you restart the phone into recovery, it goes into the original Samsung recovery, right? If so, then just re-flash the CWM. You'll need to do this every time to go into CWM.

yeah i'm know that, but when im enter CWM not loaded, what version do you use ? give me please

I use the one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141395
(that thread says version 6.0.2.8, but when I run it it says 6.0.4.5)
I do not understand what you mean by "when im enter CWM not loaded". You need to flash the zip every time you want to run CWM, like you did the first time - somebody should correct me if I'm wrong.

okay i'll try it later
thanks for try to help , problem is when im get in to samsung recovery and flash temporary CWM recovery, it won't loaded, just black screen and then my phone restart.

what ROM do you use ?
when I was in stock MF1 I installed 6.0.2.8 (Shaaan thread, TY BTW) and it was temporary.
Then I flashed CM10.2 which installed me a new version of CWM (6.0.4.6) which is now persistent.
Can you develop a little bit more about your software configuration please ? ROM ? kernel ?

I have a similar problem. After i flashed cm 10.1 recovery dissapeared. I don't have cwm neither stock recovery. Any way to flash it via odin?

flash stock via odin
flash cm10.1/gapps
try again see if recovery is there :/

i know this solution but i can't do the same thing every time i loose cwm because it worked before. Thats why i asked if it is possible to flash only cwm

[Q] TWRP please help custom recovery

Hey guys,
I just rooted my p600 (wfi) and am now trying to install TWRP for my custom recovery. I can not find a good forum post about this process. I opened ODIN 3.09 and go to flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-lt03wifiue.img which fails. Anyone know what I am doing wrong and how I can successfully flash TWRP recovery so I can start flashing my roms? Thanks guys

i cannot help with your problem though,
but i can give some suggestion for me i use odin v.07 because its for easy to understand and still in many tutorial use odin.07
and mostly before rooting any device you must flash a custom recovery first then go root and that's what i did.
i personally use TWRP recover yet more easy to understand and to use than cwm recovery...
it's just my opinions though...

With Philz, wipe Dalvik cache first, then wipe cache partition, this way wiping will function correctly.

[Q] After using Quick Boot, Galaxy Tab 3 keeps booting into recovery

Hi everyone!
I have just bought a Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110). and I had flashed TWRP and rooted it, HOWEVER, after I tried to boot into recovery using "Quick Boot", the system keeps going into Recovery no matter what.
I have tried to use Odin to reflash the recovery, and I have tried to flash a different custom ROM (StockRom-V1.1-T110) using recovery, but whenever it reboots, it just goes straight to recovery.....
How can I fix this?
Please help!

got you and thank you for your time .. now does this other file even matter usually they dont come in these tar zips
SS_DL.dll whats that for

Same situation. I rooted it fine. Installed a custom rom. No issues. Then it asked to update the supersu binary. Did that and now it keeps booting into TWRP no matter what I do. Gonna start fresh and this time I'll not use TWRP to update the binary I guess.

To fix the booting in recovery
flash stock recovery with oodin
now go to stock recovery
select clear cache
it will show error (and recovery crashes) and tab will boot normally.
