Stuck at "touch the android to begin"

This concerns my galaxy note n7000. I had a rooted checkrom v4 working on my note. I tried to install criskelorom v2 and got bootloops. I then tried to go back to stock via odin and flashed stock N7000 KL3 ROM which i had earlier used, I had to go to stock because after bootloop even recovery was not working. now after flashing stock i am getting a strange problem of the phone getting stuck at the welcome to gt-n7000 screen . "touch the android to begin" . nothing is happening after touching the android on the screen although i can change the language etc and even the pull down notification is also working but the phone is stuck at the initial stage. I have a nandroid backup of my initial checkrom in my internal sd card but cannot restore it before installing a rom with root and cwm. Kindly help . Thanks.

I'm having the exact problem. I'm hoping we can create a soft brick sticky thread. I walked away from my phone last night because I was getting frustrated.
My attempts to flash stock ROM via Odin resulted in the "not responding" message in windows. I can get to both CWM and download mode, however any ROM flashed via CWM results in the behavior described by the OP. fortunately I have access to another Samsung phone, so I can double check driver installation (although it worked for flashing previously).
I'm continuing a search through the forums to find some alternate methods for unbricking. Hope someone has an idea.
Thanks!

It seems that the stock roms i was trying to flash were nonwipe ones so i flashed xxla3 which is a wipe rom and was able to boot . I then flashed the earlier kl3 rom over this rom because kl3 is rootable. I then rooted and installed cwm booted into recovery and restored my earlier nandroid backup. I think the situation arises because the nonwipe rom was unable to clear the cache , user data etc

Thank you for the information. I had exactly the same problem. What did you use to root KL3 ?

Just wipe both cash and user data, and reboot.

reboot to recovery mode -> mount and storage -> format system, format cache, format data.
and do a factory reset and wipe cache.
problem should be solved cause that's what i did

[Q] Problem Flashing PAC-Rom 19.9.0

Ok, I know this is not the dev section, but I still haven't done the 10-posts rule. So, I am going to post my problem here and see how it goes.
Here it is
I have the previous PAC rom from nims11(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911478) And running great.
Yesterday I tried to upgrade to the 4.2 PAC rom from OldDroid(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141770), and it is failing. The flashing seems to be done successfully, but when it comes to booting, after the bootanimation it get errors like "Setup Wizard has stopped" and it doesn't open at all.
I tried re-flashing, wiping everything, re-downloading in case the dl was corrupted, even reflashing the kernel. But nothing.
Any thoughts?

Try my flashing method
boot to recovery
wipe data
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats(if u want)
go to mounts and storage menu in Recovery
format /system
Install Zip From SD card and flash The ROM
after flashing gets over just reboot the phone.
I think this may solve your problem.

Seems like it worked. I wasn't formating the system before flashing. Never did, and i am changing rom every month or so.
Thanks anyway!

[Q] Formatted /system and /boot (CWM), doesn't boot. [i9000]

Hey guys . I formatted /system and /boot when i entered CWM, i formatted cache and wiped data, and flashed a new rom, but when i hit "reboot" the phone restarted and the image with the writing "GALAXY S GT-i9000" apears and remains here, the phone won't boot anymore (i formatted /system and /boot because i thought the rom would install more freshly and would not apear problems, but i didn't need to format those :|).
I can't enter anymore in CWM Recovery (probably deleted because i formatted /system) or stock Recovery :| , the only thing that works is Download Mode. :\
What you recommend to do to fix this?
I saw the tutorial with fastboot to flash a new boot.img but i formatted the /system too. Most probably this will not fix anything. Another way i though of, is to flash via Odin a new Software but, after i formatted the /system and /boot i already installed a new rom but didn't booted anymore after reboot, although i think this will not be a problem because will overlay the already rom or something, but i'm not sure and i'm not sure i will find a software that i can flash through odin.
I don't have an external sd card, only internal memory that comes with the phone.
I also read that you can format /system if you don't reboot it after you format it and flash the rom. Could be the problem only the /boot that i formatted? I just need to flash a boot.img, if yes, how do i do it, with that softwares.
Thank you a lot in advance!

First of all i think that if you formatted the system and you didn't have an external sd card you might have wiped everything off your device . But lets try some options first. If you flashed a GB or JB rom most times the partition is changed and you have to remove the battery during the start-up (called a boot loop) this is normal. So try to reboot your device but when you have seen your samsung logo and such for a couple of minutes remove the battery, then replace the battery and start as if normal. If that doesn't solve your problem then you will have to put the phone in download mode and manually reflash your device using odin to stock then try all over again with your new rom. In the future, when you try using CWM again just do a factory reset, clear cache partition and under advanced clear dalvik cache then install from sd card, scool down and choose the rom then highlight it (volume up and down arrows) and install (power button).

You killed the bootloader of the phone, flash it back via Odin
Bootloaders here!

Galaxy S4 I9000
Hello, dont worry about your phone. Actually your phone has been bricked down and now you just have to unbrick your Galaxy S4. Check the galaxy s4 xda forum or just google the topic that "how to unbrick Galaxy s4 with your model no" and then follow the steps given in the tutorial. Thanks

Hi MihaDani93,
I'm having the exact same problem, I rooted with CF-Root, then cleared cache/dalvik and formatted system and rebooted on a stock 2.3.6 model i9000. It also stucks at the Samsung logo splash screen and freezes.
Only thing is I dont have the original stock ROM. I don't know how to reflash the phone.
Can you tell me in detail how you reflashed to stock with what files and where I can get those files from? PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC md5 files and so on?
Thank you very much in advance!
Rob

You can install a new recovery (CWM or TWM). Than you will can do wipes.
Give me thanx please if I helped.

@alexissuper > Please don't be tell people wrong things. You CAN wipe data even with stock recovery. The wipe data function is available in all recovery mode. Flashing new recovery won't solve any problem.
So I think sdcard may cause this problem, format sdcard or partition it. Report back when the problem solved or persisted.

My SD Card has been replaced and not changed anything, I've tried without the card too and nothing has changed, and when I had the CWM it also fought in wipe data
Again sorry for my english D

can't flash kernel and rom

Hi there! I want to test the official CM12.1 rom so I decided to format the phone and flash a custom kernel and then the rom.
First I flashed TWRP (2.8.7.0) using fastboot and enter it. I made a complete wipe using the advanced wipe and marking all options (except usb-otg).
Once the partitions are clean I flashed the kernel using the install option and selecting the zip file, finally the same for the CM12.1 rom (nightly). Wiped cache and dalvik and restart, but somehow miui reinstalled.... (it is possible to completely delete miui?). The kernel seems to be the stock (3.4.0-g7f72d41-01413-g70bd50e).
I read in the official CM12.1 post that the rom automatically extends the system partition (merging the two system partitions to have a partition with 1.28GB), is this true or do I have to do it manually (flashing something?).
Thanks.

Flash this once and your partition will be 1.2 GB.

Thanks! Is it normal that it still shows just 629MB? (I can see it in the repair/resize/change-file-system section).
Now, every rom that I flash it stucks at the "mi boot logo"... Maybe I'm doing something wrong; I wipe/factory reset (including cache/dalvik) and then flash the zip, and (wipe again, the option at the left to reboot) and reboot to system.... It's stuck, I tried with other custom roms and it happens the same. What am I doing wrong??

Did you switched the partition (system 1 for non - miui and system 2 for miui)? It's located in advanced options in cwm.

Yes, the repartition zip only works on CWM. People said that they have problem while repartitioning with TWRP.
