So I tried installing a status bar icon replacement on Cyanogenmod and ended up getting stuck on boot loop somehow...
I went into recovery and wiped data, wiped my cache and dalvik cache and it's still stuck on boot loop...
help?
reflash rom
the rom isn't on the root of my device anymore and I can't exactly set it there without it turning on.
Causes a slight issue I imagine?

it doesnt have to be on the root of your device, as long as its in your storage. if its in the storage, find that location amd flash it. now what do you mean you cant exactly set it there without it turning on? you lost me there.
The rom isn't on my phone whatsoever.
I meant I need to be able to have the phone fully turned on in order to move the zip over to it.

what recovery are you using? twrp has an adb sideload option, cwm might have something similar.
Just push another nightly zip over with adb, while in recovery. Simple! Don't understand what the fuss is all about.

if u made a backup for ur stock rom, then restore it.
if not, the easiest way is to reflash factory image using fastboot mode. or see my thread in signature
Pardon my noobishness, but I really would rather not unroot my phone and set it back to stock 4.1.1 unless it's my only option.
Either way, I created a backup last night but it doesn't work. When I tell it to install it says "no file found".
At this point, I'm willing to let somebody take over via viewfinder if it'll help >_>
Flash new custom rom
And every modification SYSTEMUI.apk make sure permision each others

so flash google image 4.2.1 using fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895.
If u flash 4.1.1 i think u will receive update before rooting.
any way what cwm u are using??
Sigh...crisis averted.
I dug deep into my files (which are a friggen mess) and found a the December 21st nightly laying around somewhere odd. Everything's back to working order -- Just gotta set everything up again >_>
Although, it seems like i have nothing on my screen...

this is the thread you should have read BEFORE "bricking" your device. Which you didn't by the way. You don't want to know what a REAL brick is. Don't use the word lightly.
Sigh, one last question I guess -- even though I've asked a ton.
Now that I've flashed CM and my gapps, everything on the phone works except it shows that I have no installed apps...my messaging app, app tab..phone... nothing is there...

that version is working fine here under custom aosp, so it must be cm problem like previous poster said.
I've searched both xda and Google and haven't been able to find anything.
Yesterday, I formatted everything possible via CWM6.0.2.3 (/storage, /data, etc.) and (of course) ended up having to reinstall the stock rom as I've effectively soft-bricked my phone.
After getting everything up and running again, I installed ROM Manager and it said that I still had TWRP still installed. What's more, the stock rom had the wallpaper and lock screen message I'd set up before formatting everything.
I later hooked my phone up to my pc and deleted everything from both internal storage and my sd card, though Windows showed that there was still some data left on the phone. I again did a fresh install of the stock rom and the previous background, message, and TWRP are still there.
I know I'm being a bit nitpicky, but where is this data hidden and how can I delete it?

So if I were to do a full wipe with Odin, what would I check? Flash Lock, Nand Erase All, or T Flash?

Only select Auto-Reboot. There should be a one-click that will prevent disaster. It is right here. Be aware of the 16 vs 32 GB option.

I've tried having Auto-Reboot and F-Time Reset checked and I still have residual files.
After trying the one click method you linked, absolutely nothing changed except I was no longer rooted. Still had same apps, lock screen, wallpaper, etc.
And you've done a factory wipe? What apps are remaining? I guess I should get more specific.

Yes, I've done a factory wipe. All of my apps remain; I still have Chrome, ROM Manager, Nova Launcher, etc.
If I delete everything, everything goes to stock except behind the scene things like TWRP still being installed (according to ROM Manager).

I'm relatively certain I followed the directions properly, and it works as far as getting back to stock. Though in the video he mentions that data wouldn't be wiped and that's what I was aiming for: wiping absolutely everything so that the phone is as when I first got it. No custom recoveries, no saved lockscreen message, nothing.
You may have to manually delete them then.

I have a " RESET_LJ7.zip" that will delete everything including recovery and reset flash counter, but it's a huge file, I'm not home, and I haven't uploaded it anywhere. You can search for that zip file name because I can't remember where I originally found it, or I can upload it tonight for you, it's just a flashable zip

Where are custom recoveries stored? And is there some way for me to access it? I would think right clicking "Phone" from Explorer and hitting "Format" would delete everything, but apparently it doesn't.

No I'm not sure where the recovery is restored, I didn't make the zip I just have a copy of it because I needed it when I returned 2 phones to Sprint Like I said search that name for the zip, and if you still don't find it I'll upload it when home, that could be VERY late though

Here's stock LJ7. I assume you know how to use Odin so here's the file as posted by Skunk Ape1. All credit goes to him.

Oh and also, the files you delete while "formatting" the phone on the computer are only the extra app data (like back-ups and such) and other extra files. Things like recovery are in hidden system files that I believe can only be deleted through a specific clear (like system/data clear in TWRP) or by flashing a complete stock tar through Odin. Well you can also manually delete them but that takes a while.

I couldn't find the .zip via Google nor xda, but don't worry about it. My phone works perfectly fine and I can return to stock well enough. It just bothers me that there seems to be some secret folder/residual data that I can't seem to get rid of ><

That is correct, the recovery is stored on a separate partition from the OS, so you cant clear that just by formatting system and such. Its also best to simply replace it and not clear it, because if you clear it you are completely removing everything from the recovery partition and that may or may not cause issues
@OP, One way you can remove your custom recovery (and replace it with the stock recovery) is by flashing a full stock tar. In the general section there is a thread titled "MA6 OTA!!!", read through there because some people posted links to how to get the stock recovery back on without having to ODIN a full stock tar (they needed to flash the LJ7 to MA6 OTA through the stock recovery)

Ah, thank you so much. The main thing that was bugging me was that I couldn't seem to get rid of CWM and TWRP, but now I know they're hidden.
But I've flashed CWM, TWRP, then went back to CWM and whenever I open Recovery Setup in Rom Manager, it says that both CWM and TWRP are already installed, which is what's bugging me. Rom Manager works just fine and all, but I'm just really curious about why/how I can have two recoveries installed at the same time (I thought flashing one would delete the other).

This is why I hate the dependence that people have built on touch recoveries and recovery controlling apps. It makes people forget that the recovery works like a computer bios. It's not hidden. It's just on its own partition. When you fire it up, it's essentially booting a separate partition so that you can control everything on the main partition and nothing from your rom or kernel are in use at the time.
Hello!
I recently got a Note 2 (GT-N7105)
And for some silly reason wich even disappoints myself i wanted to overclock , well that didn't make sense i know but however i did it! and directly after i installed the required file (I don't remember wich one but it was for 1.8Ghz) after the installing my phone kept showing the boot logo , i tried to use my backup but even after restoring it didnt boot! I cleaned everything wich also cleaned my backup...
I been on it for about 7 hours now trying different roms , kernels , and every file i could find but nothing helps.
I now installed Cyanogenmod using CMW but even that bootloops.
The last thing i could notice is CMW showing me a E: failed to Mount /efs (Invalid argument) Wich makes me worry even more...
I honestly hope there are some good peaple who could help me with this... Finally got a great phone and by stupid mistakes i made it won't work anymore..
I don't care what rom gets on it , Even if its a hello kitty rom u won't hear me complain , If the phone works again i'll be happy!
Not sure if this helps but its a GT-N7105 , i know it had the newest android there was (4. something, i think it was 4.3)
Odin does see the device , My CMW (6.0.4.1) works and Download Mode works.
I hope anybody can help me!
In case you want to help me live wich would be awesome my skype is : chrishendriks92
If it gets fixed i will Offcourse place the solution here.
(The note is not a new one , its used and a few months old , worked 100% before my stupid decisions bricked it)
(so here's a small version)
-Every rom i tried will bootloop , It shows a different boot video/logo everytime tho
-It all happened after i tried a 2.8Ghz Overclock
-i get a EFS error in CMW
-Accidentily i deleted my backup but i don't mind whatever rom gets on it
-Download mode and CMW (6.0.4.1) works

Ok, so what I would do.
I would wipe data through CWM.
Download official ROM from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin.
I hope this will help to get the phone booted.
After that we will worry about imei recovery.

So i was on the G2 apps added E988 ROM version 5.5 for a long time then i decided to switch and try a new rom out, I ended up switching to the Candykat rom. I want to switch back to the v 5.5 but for some reason everytime i try it just gets stuck and wont boot up so i have to manually go back into cwm and choose a different rom. Does anyone know why? would i have to go back to stock first then re-root and go to that rom? I just dont wanna have to go through all that if there is an easier way, thank you.

Hmm, could be a bad backup. Or could be a problem with the recovery.
Have you tried restoring without data? And if that works you could always restore data in other ways.

Thanks for trying to help, hopefully I can find something soon.
CandyKat is based on the E980, while the G2 rom is based on the E988, which has fiff kernel config/modem basebands. So logically the best way to go back to v5.5 would be to reflash the factory stock E988 image, with kernel and baseband already included, then flash v5.5.

Sure, go to this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438088. I recommend that you download a kdz file of your chosen country of origin, then afterwards follow the KDZ guide within this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2432476 (also provided on the 1st link) courtesy of Hyelton. Then on the guide, best way to proceed is using method 1 (Authomatic VBS script).
Once you master the art of flashing via KDZ method it would only take within 10 minutes to flash stock kdz files, very convenient, especially when softbricks occur.

okay, that all makes sense, but a couple questions, what is kdz? and also when i do this and go back to stock will i be looing my pictures and other files from internal storage or is that safe?
So, I was trying to add navbar buttons by editing the build.prop file, but it didn't work, now my phone won't boot and i'm phoneless, So I need someone, ANYONE to make/create/construct a CWM flashable zip that resets the build.prop file to an original one, I need help as fast as someone can possibly send. You will have my forever gratitude and a new discord buddy.
If no one has a better solution I would recommend you flash the ROM again so the system can be restored...
Sry I don't have anything else to suggest :/

request build.prop flashable zip from another user or rom Dev that use the same rom you're currently using.
