I tried installing a rom last week on my Galaxy Note II (Rogers), i followed orders (this isn't my first time flashing roms), and it has been stuck in a constant boot loop.
I've tried everything, wiping cache, factory reset, tried to flash different roms, etc....
I am a mac user (which means Odin isn't an option).
If you guys have any suggestions on how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.
What rom were you on and what rom were you trying to flash originally? Also what recovery are you using? Need a little more info because usually wiping caches dies the trick. Provide a link to the rom you were trying to flash of your can.

This is the rom, i was using CMW to flash it, then it made me switch to TWRP (think its called that)......hope that helps.
Sorry I can't be of more help aside of redoing the installation of your recovery and redownloading the rom ( bad downloads happen) and making sure you do all the wipes (cache, dalvik cache and factory reset). If none of that works I'm sure someone more knowledgable than myself will chime in.
I've never run into a bootloop problem myself, but this might help you out :

Good luck
Have you had any luck with this yet? I've been unable to get my phone back up.

Put another ROM on an sdcard. Take your battery out then press the button combo for recovery mode before you slip your battery back in. Then it'll force download mode. Reflash the new ROM after full wiping and you should be good.

Definitely a bad ROM. Run a MD5 checker against it prior to copying to the SD card. Note: your SD card could be the culprit.
If you have a recovery installed, ensure you WIPE everything, Fix permissions (i'm on CWM) and reflash the modem and carrier files POST rom install.
I experienced my first boot loop yesterday but I was able to recover from it thanks to a little common sense and patience. :fingers-crossed:
Good luck!
first of all, don't freak out, a bootloop isn't the end of the world. Sounds like it was a bad flash.
ppl above have obviously told you to wipe caches, and all that stuff and if it hasn't worked then you are still down and out.
I would suggest you get yourself into recovery - not going to explain that here as you said you were able to flash other roms and it didn't work and try flashing your nand backup - hopefully you have a nice clean backup from before you flashed. if so, clear caches, etc and then try flashing it it should be back to at least working.
your nand backup will have all your stuff in it as you would have had to backup from recovery, which means you'll at least still be rooted. you can then go ahead and get another rom - check the md5 and flash it
I installed the 01-29 Nightly & 12-12 Gapps on my shiny brand new 7105 and now it won't boot. I've searched till to I'm blue in the face and I'm about to have a breakdown. I can find stock roms & etc for the 7100 but not the 7105. Someone please point me to a stock Odin Rom so I restore this thing.

Hi,
Try this:
Turn your phone off
Boot your phone in to recovery (hold home + volume up + power)
Do a factory reset
Wipe cache ect
Then reflash the ROM with Odin
Then leave it for at least 10 min to boot. As it can take a while.
Let me know how it goes.
Cheers

I did the factory reset & wiped the cache as you suggested. It rebooted before I get it turned off and I let it go. It booted on up and I'm good to go again. You helped me get my new phone back and I appreciate it. I don't know if I'll try anymore custom rom's or not on this 7105.

Completely up to you, mate. You just have to be very cautious when flashing things on your phone. You have to be very particular with the files you're downloading. Just ensure that everything's for your N7105. ^^

Hi,
Glad you got it working.
It should be pretty safe to flash ROMs on it, just make sure they are for the N7105.
Always make a cwm backup, then u can just flash that to restore everything.
If you follow theses rules when flashing ROMs, they should boot fine most of the time:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Install ROM
Wipe data again
Wipe cache
Fix permissions
Custom ROMs are so much better then stock, so its a shame not to use them
Cheers

Did you do a data/cache wipe when you installed CM nightly over the stock rom ? Maybe that's why it wouldn't boot up.
Anyway, don't be afraid of custom roms, if CM10.1 is what you'd rather use - try again and if something goes wrong - there's tons of people here who can help
Also *always* make backup of IMEI, it can get borked for no reason :silly: TWRP has the ability to backup only single partitions eg.

It's because you formatted your system and it has nothing to boot into now. A factory data reset should fix it.

If the system has been wiped a factory reset wont fix it. Its not like a factory reset re-installs what has been wiped

If you have a cwm/twrp flashable rom on your internal/external sdcard or if you have
a nandroid back and if you still have access to get into CWM/TWRP recovery then
why not simply restore a backup or flash a rom?
If you don't have any backups or cwm/twrp flashable zip file roms in your phone
then simply remove the external sdcard and put it into an adaptor and plug it into
your computer, download a cwm/twrp flashable rom and copy it to the sdcard.
Then put the sdcard back in the phone, go into cwm/twrp recovery and flash it.
If you cannot get into cwm/twrp recovery for some god knows what reason you will need
to Odin flash the stock rom in download mode to get the phone running properly again.
Good luck with it!

Trying that as i type. Performed a wipe and reboot'd to DL mode for a stock odin flash. Not optimistic though
any reason why this WOULDNT work?
EDIT: No luck. Went past the samsung screen initially to android stock recovery to finish flash...once it rebooted back to stuck at samsung screen!
EDIT: SOLVED. checked Phone EFS Clear in ODIN...then flash stock. BREEZE
I can't take it ever since i updated my t210r to 4.4.2 problems galore. i flashed several roms still i get random reboots and app stopps. i wiped everything and flashed odin over and over and still i get random reboots and app stops its driving me crazy that update was the worst mistake i ever made surely there is someone out there experiencing the same thing or know of a way to fix

Try flashing the full stock firmware from sammobile; then boot into the stock recovery and do a full factory reset. If that doesn't work, then you may want to install a custom recovery and re-format (not wipe, but actually format) the data partition.
Ok will try that. After wiping the data partition what should i do?

Even a completely stock system, I'm having problems. I've tried wiping everything (cache, dalvik ,data/factory reset ) then flashing back to the stock firmware using Odin3 v3.09, and I'm still getting errors and random rebooting.
Has my t210 bit the dust?
Seems like a lot of people are having trouble with the new updates. I would try to find an older version of the stock rom and load it thru Odin 3.7 and see if you still have the same problems.
Same thing I'm thinking but I still have hope
Did any of you all clear your cache and dalvik-cache as part of the flashing process?
The 4.4 ROM is an update to the stock 4.2. If you use a custom ROM, you will probably need to reflash stock 4.2 in order to flash 4.4.
But this tab never had 4.2 only 4.1 and I did a complete wipe before flashing anything

Reflash 4.1, then try 4.4. If that doesn't work, flash all three consecutively. Gotta test around to find out what works.

I'm rooted on my Galaxy S3. Last month I made a backup through TWRP recovery. Yesterday when I restored to the backup, the restore wasnt complete. I tried to restore again and I encountered the same incomplete restore. My customized settings in the apps were gone and some of the apps I had backed up weren't included in the restore. Looks like something got messed up.
I then wiped cache, Dalvik, data and system. I even formatted the phone. I also did a factory reset. This messed up my phone so I installed a new rooted stock rom. So now, the phone is slow as hell and apps arent very responsive. Everything is laggy and slow. And the play store and youtube have slow connection speeds.
What should I do to fix this stupidity??
Did you try restoring a stock ROM via Odin?
I had the same thing happen before. Odin with a stock rom is all that fixed it for me.

Are you downloading over WiFi or cellular data network? The phone is running the latest rom without root? After flashing, you you immediately go to b recovery and do a full wipe?

This is really strange because a factory reset usually does the trick.
This may be a redundant question but was the phone flashed with the correct ROM? I see different variations of the T999 on sammobile.com's website.

Hi audit.. Its not a dumb question at all. The rom was the correct one for my phone. Everything was working fine up until a week ago. Its possible that my phone fell and maybe that caused damage maybe.
Not only that but restoring bsckups through TWRP doesnt yield perfect restores. All my restores have not been complete. Customized settings all returned to default and apps were rearramged differently.
Anyeay, just to make sure, how can I do a proper wipe without wiping out my custom settings and apps? Do I just wipe dalvik, cache and system?
You would wipe dalvik and cache only.
Wiping data wipes apps.
Wiping system wipes the rom.

Thanks for a speedy reply. Can you explain why my backuo restores through TWRP dont yield perfect restores? Custom settings return to default and apps are arranged differently.
I am not sure why that happens but I have used twrp on several phones, including the lg g2, nexus 4, note 3, htc one x, and Samsung tab without issue. Maybe you need to do a full wipe before restoring? Does the phone have the latest twrp?

Hi audit. Yes the phone has the latest TWRP. I downloaded it from the play store yesterday.
I got an important question. I backed up my rom a few days through TWRP as I said. Is it possible to open up the backup on my laptop and search for specific pics? I dont want to restore the rom, since as I stated, I have problems doing so. I just need to get those pics. Is this possible?
I am not sure but it is worth a try.
Humour me but is the twrp 2.8.7?

Thats right, current version is 2.8.7.0.

You download the tar file for d2att, open Odin, put phone into download mode, put the tar file in the pda box, and flash.

Wait, when you say the tar file for d2att you mean the TWRP file, right? Hope thats what you mean because the way you describe it, it sounds like instructions on flashing the whole rom.
Where do I get the tar file for the TWRP app?
