maybe you were on stock rom?
try using ext4formatter.zip on the clockworkmod topic, to format your system to ext4, because stock uses rfs..

Trying flash GB 2.3.4 before and flash again to any custom rom, and partition ext2/3/4 if u need it. ( use Gparted on linux or mini partition tools on windows )

Yeah it happens! here's how to solve it.
There may be one of the folowing reasons for bootloop :-
1. You didn't wipe the cache/dalvik or as performed full data factory reset before flashing rom.
2. You haven't flashed appropriate boot image ( kernel) . For getting app. image extract the rom in pc and you should get the boot.img.
3. If above steps don't work then try performing factory data reset again after flashing rom.
Hit thanks if i helped.

[Q] Full wipe stock rom

So..
AFter couple of tries i have to ask you guys : how to fully wipe my phone after and before flashing 4.1.2 stock via odin ?
I did wipe data/factory reset in CWM but internal memory is still there... So it was not full wipe.. Although when i flashed rom i got that initial setup, but internal memory was intact...
So, how to do full wipe before and after flashing 4.1.2 stock via odin ?
Thanks in advance

a full wipe is formatting system, data and caches not sure if odin formats system

Hi, to make things easier for you. Download Zoot's Super Wipe Script at the Android Development Section. It's a few pages back but it's worth a look

Was searching for Zoot's Super Wipe Script at Android development.. Cant find it...
p.s. and if i do full wipe before and after flashing rom, wouldn't that erase my rom because of system wipe ?

To answer your question, yes it will. And do a full wipe BEFORE not after flashing a ROM.
Here's the link for the script. Merry Christmas!

But one more thing i have to ask you :
If i do full wipe with script before flash (including system wipe) would i be able to flash 4.1.2 via odin then ?? I mean, ive heard that it is only firmware update.. Thanks again

Are you trying to go back to stock? Or flash a custom ROM? Sorry, didn't get you there.

Ah. You will be able to flash it via Odin. But do not wipe or use the suoer wipe script AFTER. Just do it before flashing. Use the Mega Wipe from the AROMA of Zoot's script.
But be aware, it will erase your internal SD card as well so move every important thing to the external.

unable to install apps

Hi guys, hope somebody could help me to install apps on my note 2, rooted, but i use stock rom 4.1.1 android version...my son accidentally uninstalled my facebook apps and now i am unable to install it back. Everytime i tried it always says "insufficient memory", currently i have 8.65 GB free on my internal with a total size of 10.36GB usable space..i tried deleting the facebook in the delvak cache but still no go...I am unable to update the built in apps since i rooted my note 2..pls help..

Hi,
have you tried to wipe cache? not only the dalvik cache? This will force android to recreate his cache (oh and btw i dont know if your note 2 is concerned by the sudden death but you should update to 4.1.2)

thanks

Cannot install any 4.3 custom rom

Hello, my name is Sebastian. First time I post here. I´ve been reading a lot here in Xda, but no posting before.
I have a little question for you all, experts, and I think its kinda simple but I can´t figure it out.
My N7100 was running fine with a stock rom (Android 4.1) and then flashed a custom rom, I think Phoenix Rom (Android 4.1) and working very fine too..
Now I wanted to flash a newer rom, and I've tried a lot, with no good results:
PHOENIX ROM V15 (ANDROID 4.3)
DR KETAN CUSTOM ROM V6.1 (ANDROID 4.3)
DN3 V3.1 (ANDROID 4.3)
HURRICANE V6.0 (ANDROID 4.3)
I can install them all very fine, but when I restart the phone, it get stuck at the Galaxy Note II N7100 logo.
My CWM is version 6.0.3.7 and I`m using Philz touch 5.15.0 (I've tried Philz touch 6 with the same results).
I tried installing a new radio with Odin, version DDUMJ9 Modem and still the same result, stuck at boot logo.
Its weird cause I can install very fine the custom rom PROBAM 5.0 (Android 4.3) and it don´t get stuck at the boot logo, and the system runs very fine. I also can install custom rom REVOLUTION HD 19.0 (Android 4.1 based).
So, my problem its with Android 4.3 and most of the custom roms based in that system that are holded here in Xda.
What can i do? What I'm doind wrong? What is missing?
I'll be very grateful for any help that you can give me.
Best regards.

Thank you

Ok I flashed MJ5 bootloader using joeldroid instructions (post found here in Xda) via Odin.
Then went to recovery, wipe cache, wipe full/factory reset and installed Phoenix ROM v15 and....still no luck, I'm stuck at the boot logo.

Thanks a lot man, but I've tried to install Phoenix ROM like...7 times? And before every installation I do the following:
1. Wipe dalvik cache
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe cache/full factory reset
4. Wipe and clean to install a new ROM (Philz touch option)
And then I perform the installation. Like I said in my first post this is happening to me with every Android 4.3 custom ROM, not just Phoenix ROM.
Do you have any other idea? Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

from what you said,you only do factory reset before install.
did you do factory reset after install ?

Yes I've done factory reset to every installation I've made, and I even done it more than one time several times.
I did a new test, I formatted the internal SD and did all the wipe steps and tried to install Dr Ketan ROM (android 4.3 based) with no luck.
After all the new tests I did, finally decided to go back to Android 4.1 and flashed Revolution HD 19.0 and now my phone is working flawlessly.
What is missing in my phone to be able to run Android 4.3? I've seen other people with the same problem, but none seems to give and straight answer.
Here's is an example of the same problem:

hurmm..this is weird..
why don't you try mj5 leak stock rom..since mj5 leak is a stock rom..i don't think you will face any problem..
after done mj5 flashing, apply patch from here then flash custom rom.
if that also not working, i dunno what wrong with your phone.

Have you tried zoot's script mega wipe ?
Android 4.3 I notice there's a change on the usb internal storage folder. If the MJ5 bootloader you have tried already, you can try this megawipe. It will wipe very clean your internal storage. Don't worry, it won't wipe your EFS
I always use this script everytime I want to jump to new Android base, and so far never give me a problem.
Good luck!

You must use a Super Wipe script before the factory reset when installing a 4.3 Rom for the first time.

Agree because they change the partitioning.

You can Flash leaked 4.3 mi6 rom via pc odin and it will automatically wipe your all data and int storage. You still will have old boot loader. After that,you can try any 4.3 custom rom.

No, but most people would flash gapps 6 too, else you will miss a lot (must be done at the same time as the ROM the first time to set permissions)

Copy CM13 rom and gapp in your sd card.
Backup your old firmware through twrp.
Do a factory Reset from Wipe.
And install CM13 and gapp respectively.
And enjoy ^_^

checked every file hash matches, did exactly as written, done all of above and it doesn't work
TWRP went on in less than 10 second does that sound normal ? and how do you know if its actually on there?

Nope. Installation take atleast 2 or 3 minutes.
and if its installed properly you would have seen different rom from the stock.
Here is what i use for s4 mini(i9192). Also used it on i9190 model as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/rom-aokp-rom-25-apr-2016-t3366314
and these steps mentioned in the website.
A. Initial install
1. Copy ROM and Gapps to your external SD Card or internal memory
2. Boot into recovery
3. Wipe
4. Install ROM and Gapps
5. Reboot
Its simple. Should have worked.
I hope you have installed your model rom.

In TWRP Swipe for factory reset will do the job. you can also do dalvik /art cache in advance wipe. System or other wipe never did it for changing roms.

Ie that enough only to make WIPE FACTORY RESET AND WIPE DALVIK CACHE is not necessary to the FORMAT SYSTEM, DATA AND CACHE ??

sorry i do not understand.
to install a rom just do a factory reset. nothing else is necessary.
If you do not do factory reset, sometimes you will not be able to install a new version of rom(for example, from kitkat to lollipop).
if you do not do factory reset its called dirty flash.
for example
you are using custom rom cm13. and it has a new update released, you go in twrp recovery and install the updated rom without doing factory reset. this way you can keep all the application and data you have.
i hope i am making some sense. it is hard for me to explain.
well do some flashing and you will understand but always make a backup.
