Hello there, I am using the Find 7a with a TWRP recovery flashed. However, I cannot seemed to flash any type of ROM. When I install the custom ROM which is the CM12, the recovery seems to restart and the custom ROM is not flashed. Can anybody help me since I already wipe everything in my device. I'm okay to lose any data from the phone.
p/s I also have a backup using the twrp but still cannot managed to flash the backup
Have you tried a different rom? Nameless and omnirom have unified storage, marshmallow and are pretty well asop. Try them

Hi, did you solved your problem?
If it were me, I would try to redownload & reflash twrp or changing it with a newer version.
Maybe that will fix the problem. Cheers!

Hey guys, I was having some trouble with a rom and switched my recovery to CWM6.0.1.2 and it's no longer booting recovery and CM is not working either just getting boot errors with gapps and setup crashes.
Basically I can't do anything with my phone unless I can wipe it and flash stock or correctly flash CM. Does anyone have any suggestions on a way to wipe my rom through odin? Currently downloading stock just incase that may help me down the road.
Where is that stock rom? Looking for it

Download CWM from my signature and flash it through Odin.
Gapps crashing means you flashed a mismatched version for your rom.

That might have happened, I got CWM working and flashed my old rom with a lot of issues, specifically stock apps crashing. Going to flash full stock via odin and start from scratch. Really stoked to try a 4.2 CM AOKP rom :good:
Are there files I can manually delete/modify to bring my device fully back to stock?

Delete or wipe via recovery is highly recommened and flash via odin. You cant do to all system files and delete them individually; thats too much of work.
Everything is golden thanks guys
I'm having issues flashing multiple roms of the 4.x.x Roms. The only rom so far I have been able to install and actually run on my phone is TweakWiz V2. I have tried many other roms and they just stay in a boot loop screen. Examples are with the Avatar rom it just stays on the mask an keeps going and going. I have tried CyanogenMod/Cyan Kang an it just stays on the Circle with the bar going around on the inside.
I am running the TWRP Touch Recovery. I also have the latest Radio update and everything else is updated on my phone.
I also let the install itself run for 10+ minutes everytime. But all the roms I try they keep doing the exact same thing and staying in a boot loop.
Can anyone give me any tips or suggestions to maybe something I could do to use another rom or maybe even a suggestion to something I may have overlooked.. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
An if you need me to give any other information let me know an I will provide.

2. Wiping System, Cache, Dvalik or whatever. I wipe everything in the usual instructions. And I make a backup of previous ROM. Flash the ROM then the G-Apps.
3. After I flash I let the ROM run its course an I wait from 15-45 mins for the ROM to load if it doesnt I switch back to TweakWiz or try another.

try using this recovery since the recovery you are using is the latest one and technically for 4.3 ROMs, give this a shot http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hercules/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-hercules.tar its the same recovery but lower . the steps you clarified seem very proper but your recovery may be at fault crossing fingers try flashing that recovery through odin or download the zip from the same website and report back after trying to flash again
Are you sure you are wiping DATA also?
You will need to do this, if you are flashing a 4.2 or 4.3 ROM, then you will also want to wipe the pre-load. Then flash the rom, and gapps.
Use the newest TWRP 2.6.1.0 to flash anything, don't need an older recovery to flash older ROM's.

Is there a option I'm not deleting ?
Because I've been flashing ROMS on different phones an I have never had any issues before. I was using ICS an GB etc before an just recently decided to upgrade an use the JB (I think that's the name.) on my phone.
Hey everybody
I'm using cm 10.2. I want to upgrade the new cm 11 nightly but i wan to flash it over without wipe my data. Is that possible ? I want to run my phone after flashing without bugs or i don't want that the phone is laggy.
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
It's recommended to do a factory reset after installing new version of OS. For CM-11 the base version is KitKat (Android 4.4.x).
To make things little easier, I took a backup of all installed apps (/system/app/ and /data/app folder). I didn't use any app for that matter, but just copied them on my internal SD card under Download folder. This folder won't be cleared during factory reset.
Make sure you have CWM based recovery 6.0.4.4 installed. (Initially I was working with older version of recovery (6.0.3.3) and because cause of that CM-11 could not be installed properly.) I have PhilZ's recovery working pretty good on my E980. You can find it here.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
The official CM-11 build will work on any E-98x phone. But when you install CWM based recovery, make sure you install one which is meant for your phone only.
Hey guys, I'm on vs985 and was wondering if anyone else is having the same problems I'm having. Some ROMs won't boot properly, ex. After flashing a ROM the LG logo screen appear and then goes away then the screen turns completely black. This also happens with some kernels only certain ROMs or kernel will allow my phone to boot normally. Does anyone know a solution to this? Would really like to use stock kernels on some of these ROMs. Thanks in advance
Which version of TWRP are you using, and what procedure are you using to flash ROMs and kernels? Are you flashing a different kernel immediately after flashing a ROM? Which specific ROM and kernel combinations are you flashing?

I'm using TWRP 2.8.3.0. And I always clean flash. Usually never dirty flash even when I'm just updating a ROM. If the stock kernel doesn't boot with the ROM I reflash the ROM along with kernel as a clean flash. The mains ones I have problems with are Exodus, BrokenOS, and XenonHD just recently. Usually the only kernel that works with any of those ROMs and allows it to boot is JediKernel 3.0. Others such as nebula, any kernel and fechda don't seem to work.
I think the first thing I would try is updating TWRP to version 2.8.7.0

Are you verifying the MD5 of the ROMs and kernels beforehand? And are you installing them from internal storage or external SD?
I don't know if this helps, but I had a lot of trouble with something that almost nobody post in ROM installation instructions: you should always format data, not just wipe it. My device is D855 International, hope it helps.

Yeah they always match, and I install from external SD.
Try installing from internal instead.

Tried both of these methods, still doesn't work for exodus or broken which are the only ones I really tried because I know they don't normally boot up
Hi, after trying to use philz recovery to flash a ROM on to my device I got what I think was called a soft brick where I had to download and flash the stock ROM.
My device (GT-N7100) is now not rooted again and back to square one. Any problems I come across occur from using old tutorials with dead links so if someone could recommend a tutorial to install a custom rom like 5.1 I would be very grateful. Thanks
EDIT. I found this guide on youtube http://mytechtube.in/samsung-galaxy-note2-rooting.html + http://mytechtube.in/samsung-galaxy-note2-6-0-1.html . Does it look like it will work?
Flash twrp using Odin, then flash a custom rom via twrp.
Root your phone first. Flash recovery like twrp and install custom rom like Resurrection remix the ROM is stable most of the things works and good as daily driver.

Root is not required to flash TWRP. TWRP can be flashed directly to the phone using Odin.

Should I just use the latest version of TWRP direct from their website https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote2n7100.html ?
I think my phone code name is t03g how can i confirm?
Thanks
EDIT. Just installed TWRP :good: now on to picking a good ROM. will have a look at the ressurection one too.
To install apps that require root should O root it now or do some ROMS root it for me?
Sorry for the amount of questions
The easiest way to install twrp would be to flash the tar version using Odin.

Most custom Roms come prerooted. If the rom is not rooted, you can flash supersu.zip from recovery.
Root can be enabled on cm13 under developer options in settings.

Thanks for the info. I've watched some videos of cm13 and I so far thats what im going with. Will look for a youtube video to help with installing it.
To install, download cm13 to an sad card, wipe cache, wipe system, wipe data, install cm13 zip from ad card, reboot.
Cm13 does not come with Google apps (gapps) so you'll have to decide which version you want.

I didnt realise that before. Could I for example install any of the GAPPS from this link https://devs-lab.com/android-gapps-download.html " full google apps" or pico google apps ?
From whatI gather GAPPS are installed straight after rom install before root though is this the same in cm13?
Flash CM13, flash Gapps, reboot.
I like open gapps frome here: http://opengapps.org/

Perfect Im going to try that in the next hour. I like the look of aroma. For platform would I select ARM and android 6.0?
EDIT. Found the answer it was ARM.
Arm as I believe your phone has a Qualcomm processor.

Yeah was ARM as I just installed CM13. Thank you seriously headig your way.
Hopefully, everything works.
Now that you have twrp on your phone, you can use it to create a backup of everything in your phone, including time efs folder. Save the efs folder in a safe place in case you need to restore it to the phone at a later date.
After making a backup, you can flash other Roms and you can return to cm13 by restoring your backup.
Just getting familiar with it. Thanks for the help.
Do you know if there's settings to turn screen on during during calls because it works with the front sensor and that sensor is broke on my phone?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
You could try disabling the proximity sensor in the phone so the phone screen doesn't blank out during a call.
Got it sorted using an app from the play store.

Hi, phones been running great until yesterday when it started telling me the disk space was nearly full(via es filee xplorer). It then turned off a few times and i turned it on again. The phone would shut off if I tried to do anything like launch the camera app. It now bootloops when i try to turn it on.
I have tried wiping dalvic cache, factory reset, recover from a recovery point i made when i installed the rom and reinstalling the custom rom like I did the first time.
The phone did once go into a boot animation of the old boot screen(02 animation), another time it started the miui boot logo but went back to the normal samsung galaxy note 2 boot loop.
Any suggestions on how i could get it running again? Thanks!
