JB-MR1 Help!

Hi all, I was on AKOP's milestone ROM before trying to flash their newest one. I did not do anything to the kernel or anything by the way.
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.7 and I rebooted into recovery and flashed super dark side wipe and then JB-MR1 and then gapps.
I went through the entire start up process with inputting your information and then finally I got into the actual home screen. I clicked around to see how the UI looked and then decided to reboot through the menu.
It was in the rebooting animation icon for at least 30 min before I decided to pull the battery. I want to wipe and start again but my cwm recovery isn't installing anything.
EDIT: The phone still works as I can boot into the phone and use it. I'm trying to reboot now: power button hold>reboot, but its taking ages still...need help on this reboot thanks
Any help here?
EDIT 2: Pretty much phone is "functional" but any method of trying to reboot or reboot into recovery fails
Thanks all!

Check the Md5 hash to make sure it is a good download.
Otherwise it sounds like it is CWM that can be causing issues.
Which version of gapps are you flashing?

Checked the Md5 with an app and it matches up perfectly with akop's main website.
I'm running 6.0.2.8 cwm. Is it even possible that its cwm? I used the same version to flash AKOPs new ROM.
and im flashing gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
Does it have anything to do with my kernel?

You aren't supposed to use super wipe with cwm 6. That is probably your problem.

Thanks so much for pinpointing the problem! Is there a fix to this?
And is this the recommended method of flashing? (Taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926754):
1. Wipe factory data/reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Go into mounts and storage
4. Format /system
5. Format /data
6. Format /cache
7. Enter advanced
8. Wipe dalvik
9. Flash ROM then gapps
10. Reboot and let the ROM settle for 5-10 minutes if flashing TW ROMs, this step is unnecessary for AOSP based ROMs.
11. (Optional) if flashing a new radio flash AFTER the ROM has been initially booted for the first time. No wipes are necessary when flashing a new radio but it HAS to be flashed after the ROM is loaded and settled in. Flashing a radio first and then a ROM has caused issues like the phone not even recognizing there is a network for it. ( phone remains in emergency mode )
Edit:
Pretty sure my phone is bricked now... in a continuous boot up loop... BUT i can still access recovery

Yes, those are the proper flashing instructions for CWM6.
It sounds like you have a soft brick. I think your best bet is to Odin back to stock. Have a look here:

Good luck.

You sir are a saving grace!
I'll try this at once!!
I have 2 questions though.
1. in regard to kernels. Do i need to do anything (aka change my kernel?) Or is the stock kernel suitable for 4.2.1?
2. If i cant boot into my phone to get to my SD card, how do i download and put files onto my phone?

Stock kernel is just fine.
Odin will flash the stock OS to your phone from the computer. Make sure to read the Odin directions a few times before trying it because it could hard brick if something goes wrong.

I'm trying to read through the thread you gave me but its kinda cluttered and its hard finding exactly where to start...pointers?

From the first post of that thread you will need
1. The prerequisites
-Odin
-Drivers
-Kies(dunno if this is mandatory but I guess it couldn't hurt.)
2. T-Mobile t989 uvlhi stock ROM(Odin)
You will need some type of zip software to extract the files from this.
3. Follow the steps under Installation - Odin installation(skip step 1)
After you get the stock ROM running you can install custom recovery and then flash your custom ROMs.

You are welcome. You are now unrooted so you have to download the recovery of your choice to the internal SD card and flash it from the stock recovery. After you reboot back into recovery you can flash a ROM and you will be rooted.

That should do it. You won't be rooted until you install a custom ROM though(they come already rooted).

If you download the flashable zip from the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30497342
you should be able to flash it from stock recovery. If it doesn't work I will have to look up how to install it with Odin.

I actually got cwm 5.0.2.7 on my phone through odin. I just need root now to upgrade it to the most recent version.
I've been seeing busybox paired with superuser.
Do i need busybox? Or can i just flash superuser through cwm recovery 5.0.2.7?

Why do you need root? You should be able to just flash the newer cwm zip.

Here is a superuser zip that I used successfully on my t989:

Somebody help! after I root my tab 3, and I back up my files using TWRP Recovery, I did wiped data after that I shutdown the tablet and a message appear that says I have no OS and my device is not rooted "do you want to install superSU? I choose do not install and it shutdown, and when Im turning it on it always stuck at SAMSUNG TAB 3 logo when I do TWRP Recovery and check restore, there is nothing on it

Sounds like you did a full wipe and didn't install a new rom. Do the default wipe install new rom; try again

Stuck in android intro

I just opened my twrp recovery to wipe everything off after I did so I rebooted to system twrp asked me wether to instal supersu or not I permitted it . When I tried to reboot to system all I does is shows Samsung Galaxy tab s powered by android and does not go any further . I tried clearing the cache but nothing works
device smt805
Rooted
I can boot into recovery if needed .just need proper guidance
I have stock rom
Lollipop 5.0.2

Sounds like you wiped your system as well. If so, you need to return to stock with the Kies3 software from Samsung or download and flash a rom for your device.

Did you wipe system?

You will need to flash stock firmware with odin or a custom rom with twrp.

You need to select install in twrp then select the zip.
I also highly suggest you make a full back up with TWRP.

yes samsung galaxy tab s 8.4 sm t700

You probably need to reset to factory default before flashing. Format(not wipe) system and data. Ensure you have that twrp backup before formatting anything.

Are you trying to install on TWRP. Go to wipe. Then advanced wipe. select System, Data, Cache, Dalvik cache and optionally Internal storage. After that try to flash zip file again. Let us know how you went

hi there guys thanks for everybody s help i ll do it right now and i ll tell you right after if it s ok

Don't let twrp root your device.
After repartition are you able to mount all partitions in twrp?
Did the firmware flash OK?
