[Q] [Arc S] Installing any JB - same problem

I have a problem with the installation of JB. No matter what ROM I install, after boot, when home screen appear, my touch screen does not respond. I've tried a lot of roms and a lot of kernels. I have unlocked BL. In stock rom I have no problems.
What could be causing this? Should I format system before installing rom via recovery or just wipe data, cache and dalvik? When I should flash kernel? Before/after installing rom? I care about CM10. Plz help.
P.S. sorry for my english

I have Neo,and this is how i'm installing it: first wipe everything (data,wipe cache and Dalvik cache),flash the rom,and then flash the kernel.

I've tried to do that way but but not succeed

Certain ROMs require phone-specific patch, make sure you install it!
Other ROMs have different downloads for different phones, make sure to download correct one!
If you install wrong phone ROM, touch dies.

All question threads belong here in Q&A so please post in the correct sections going forward.
Thanks

The problem is caused by the kernal. You MUST have JB kernel to flash any JB ROM. Generally, for each ROM you will find the recommended kernel and the required steps. Do exactly like posted by OP.
As an example, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979829
You can make an idea on the steps to follow.

Ok, so now I have installed Xperia T rom (7.0.A.3.195 v6.0 for ARC/ARC-S). Should I flash V77 baseband, then flash kernel from CM10 FXP150 pack via fastboot, make a wipe (data, cache, dalvik) then install ROM via Recovery, and then install GAPPS and it should work? This is what i'm gonna do, so if I'm wrong please tell me.
EDIT:
(edited in case someone had same problem)
I found the solution:
I had to flash BB 72 and libs, then flash ROM+GAPPS and libs once again, then everything works awesome. (edited in case someone had same problem)

I'd got a touch screen problem.
Could you please tell me that how can i flash 'libs once again' So, I can try on my Arc.
Thank you very much.

[Solved] Bootloop after flashing any Touchwiz based rom

Hi,
For about a few days, I can't flash any touchwiz based rom, even the ones I could flash without any problem before. After I flash any touchwiz rom, my phone goes into a bootloop cycle. Though I can boot into recovery and download mode with key combinations. I don't know when this happened for the first time but as far as I can remember, it would be after I flashed some 4.4 AOSP rom (could be Omnirom, I'm not sure though)
What I did to recover from boot loop:
- Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and reboot, no joy.
- Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data, reboot, no joy.
- Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data, wipe data/media, reboot, no joy.
- Pulled out the battery between these steps too.
At first, I thought something was wrong about the aroma installer itself because the phone was getting frozen during aroma installer setup screen, then I came up that it was caused due to my older CWM version, so I updated the recovery and it didn't freze again during installation.
And by the way, I've lost my efs partition during these processes, thankfully I've had a nandroid backup from a couple of months before.
Now I'm stuck with AOSP roms and the only way I can use a touchwiz rom is to flash the stock rom via odin. But I want to use the new leaked version based Note3 featured roms.
I've seen similar topics at S4 section but I couldn't be sure if I can do the exact steps for an N7100 international device.
I'm pretty familiar with linux system and I can use adb so I can provide any kind of information you need to diagnose this issue. Thanks in advance. Best regards.
HOW I SOLVED THIS PROBLEM
- Wiped everything (system, data, sdcard, of course internal sdcard)
- Flashed n7100 16GB pit file via odin
- Flashed stock rom via odin
- During these steps, I realized that my CSC code had been changed, I've corrected it acording to my country code
- Rooted my phone again
- Flashed CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery
- Flashed DN3 V3.1 rom
- Bingo, I successifully booted into DN3 rom but had no WIFI
- Flashed MJ5 bootloader
- Rebooted, then WIFI worked without a problem
- Setup my phone and did some restore
It's all good now. Thanks for everything, I hope these steps can help someone facing the same problem.

Guys, I really need some help.. Any idea about what might the problem be?

Download HD wipe script,flash the script zip via cwm/philz then try installing the rom of your choice.
I found the script from tamirda's phoenix rom thread and is very useful:http://d-h.st/fWr

Full wipe cache and reset in recovery menu, clear everything, you should be up and running.

Thanks for the reply. I flashed this superwipe script, then flashed DN3 rom but still I got stuck at Samsung Galaxy Note II screen boot loop. I really don't understand this. What am I missing? What would happen if I wipe the entire internal memory block, I mean the whole things, even the root partition too.. I'm thinking that maybe there's some file inside the root partition that prevents me to flash touchwiz roms or perhaps something wrong about touchwiz based roms' bootloaders.. I'm truely pissed..

Have you read my first message? I remember that I've mentioned I've done already what you ask me to do.. Believe me I wouldn't shoot a new thread if I could've solved my problem with such easy steps. I've already done so many wipes, including internal SD and whatsoever.. I'm really confused and NEED help. Thanks anyway..

I think you can go for the method you mentioned.But also give a try to start fresh i.e pit file flashing...wiping everything n installing stock rom then rooting,flashing custom recovery n then installing any TW custom rom.
Also give other TW based roms a try too.

Im having the same problem but after flashing kernels (e.i. saber & perseus).
Im currently running on Tigra rom. Is this a compatibility issue or im just missing something here too?
I came across flashing bootimg but this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
is for One S, im not sure if will work on Note 2 & haven't tried it yet.
Any suggestions? help pls...

Omni update to CM11 failed

I can't update my N7100 from previous Omnirom to latest CM11. I wiped my phone, installing latest CM11 zip and phone is stuck at N7100 logo and restart to recovery. When I install Omni zip everything is working fine. I'm tried TWRP and Philz recovery but no results. Please help

did you wipe /system, /cache, /data and dalvik? (full wipe).

Yes of course but I think CM isn't extracting to /system because when I leave recovery it shows there's no root and asks if I want to install it.

Recoveries tend to do that... they do not detect superuser from any CM based ROM and offer you to install supersu after a ROM install and rebooting system.
I you do full wipes and you have tested latest Philz and TWRP recoveries... I can only suggest you to double check that the CM11 ROM is the correct one for your N7100.
It is strange that you encounter issues with CM based ROMs... these usually install without problems... I've encountered problems booting TW based ROMs, but not these. Sorry I can't be or more help. Good luck .
EDIT:: wait a second... according to your screenshot, you did a full wipe after installing the CM ROM... you are deleting your ROM that you just installed . The steps are:
1.- full wipe
2.- install ROM
3.- Install GAPPS
4.- wipe Dalvik <-- (some devs recommend this step, others don't... doesn't hurt to do it anyway)

[Q] [need help] every ROM get's stuck on boot animation

I tried:
different recoveries ( 2 versions of TWRP and 1 other ) , flashing different kernels, wiping cache/dalvik cache/factory reset like 100 times, 3 ROMS that used to work in the past
I didn't try flashing a rom with adb because I can't get it to work, but I don't know if it would help.
The only thing that works is stock ROM with stock kernel and stock recovery. ( ROM from EN MIUI forum )
Everything else just gets stuck on the boot animation ( the cyanogenmod/mokee/... logo )
btw: already tried googling, but all I found is how to fix the problem by installing stock everything but the problem is I hate the stock rom/recovery and If I flash a custom recovery and ROM after fixing it, it just gets stuck again.
Thanks in advance

As you already tried TWRP and not working, here is something u can try...
1)Flash Original miui for redmi 1s
2)then flash philz touch through stock recovery
3)then try to install CM 11 or other ROM
Not sure if it will work for you but you can try
BANG that THANKS button

Could be the problem I asked the guy/girl who posted it how he fixed the problem. I'll also look for another non-CM based ROM and see if it works.

Just try what i said, wipe cache, dalvik, data, system,
As i recalled (i used twrp) reflash twrp. Leave it without OS
After reboot update twrp to 2.8.6.0 allow to install root, reboot.
And after you enter twrp recovery once again, do clean install as custom rom "how to install" instructed. Hope that help, might have to try other than cm, just for testing it.
Hit thanks if it work, else dont curse on me

oh haha I didn't notice you were the same guyI thought you linked me to someone else's post xD I'll try it, I hope it works!
edit: thanks! reflashing the kernel, wiping everything, then fixing the permissions ( but not the SElinux permissions ) fixed the problem for me I'm back to android 12.1
I'll see if I can close the thread.
