[Q] Is there a way to debug stuck on boot problems?

I recently tried to flash my GN from ICS Stock ROM to CM9 ROM. I did the following:
- boot to CWM
- wipe the system
- flashed the new ROM
- installed GApps
- reboot
I tried it both with h0tw1r3-UCLE3-CM9-RC0 and Thor 0.12f ROMs and always got stuck on boot screen. The Samsung start screen appears and then only black. I flashed back the Stock ROM with CWM restore and now the phone works again as before, but I still would like to try a custom ROM.
The question is, is there a common way to debug this kind of problems? I guess I could spend some to look into it, but the system does not come up, so I don't even know where to start.

If you have adb setup you could use adb logcat to get in depth details of what happening when booting ( attempting to boot )
But i see your problem is because you flashed a CM9 over ICS, you MUST revert to GB before flashing any CM based ROMs.
Grab yourself a ODIN flashable GB ROM and flash it !
Then continue the above steps
EDIT: Prerooted GB ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
once installed, Flash a custom kernel like abyss and then wipe and then install ROM + Gapps.
DO NOT WIPE ON THE STOCK ICS KERNEL !

Because of the brick bug? Yes, I know.

One step further - but still not working
Okay, I tried what you suggested:
- flash pre-rooted GB ROM
- messy procedure with adb to get cwm recovery onto GB system
- flashed thor kernel
- wipe (factory reset)
- flashed new ROM with cwm (tried both thor or hotwore CM9)
- flashed gapps with cwm
- reboot
- running adb logcat while booting
The system still doesn't come up, but I got bootlogs from adb.
There are several errors, including missing files and a segfault. But to me nothing very enlightening, nothing that tells me why it happens. I attached the logs, maybe someone with more experience can make sense out of those and tell me what's wrong?

lol help

hey guys,, i seem to have stuffed the recovery of my phone,, i stupidly installed cwm on my phone without root, but when i reflashed with odin the stock recovery works but when i install cwm, it doesnt go into recovery

CWM doesn't require root!
Try to reflash a stock rom. Not the one package file but the whole rom.

i have tried, once i flash cwm it doesnt boot into recovery,, ill try redownload and see if that helps

finally got it to work, i found a odin flashable cwm and it now works

ok now that i have cwm semi working on my phone, its now very difficult install roms, the only rom i can get to work on my phone now is stock,,, i now cannot flash cwm from recovery otherwise i get cwm bootloop only flashing by odin works, all custom roms get bootloop no matter how many times i flash and wipe data/cache,, i think my phone is stuffed

You sure you're installing cwm and roms for your device? What model ace do you have? (Not the i model right?)

yeah mate im sure, i know what im doing, but it just doesnt seem to work anymore lol,, i have the T model

Make sure it is Just the "S5830" Any other then your in the wrong thread.
Tbh The order i do it, Flash the latest stable stock rom Via odin, Flash update {Any Kernel} (On phone) Then Reboot into CWM To flash a rom.

yes it is, im not a noobie,, done that too,, im trying to flash cm9 b10 now but its stuck at samsung, and yes i have done data wipe and cache wipe

Only way i can think of is:
Flash new software with Odin: http://www.4shared.com/rar/FCyxijg8/odin_s5830_package.html
Then flashing "CWMRecovery" {AttacthMent} as an update through stock recovery as an update
Then reboot into CWM Recovery To wipe data Etc Etc, Then flash what ever ROM you want..
please more info man really not helping.

Flash "Root" After Flashing "CWM" See if that helps? if not please try the order i have gave, or try looking for different resources.
The Sources i have given you are working fine for my Ace.

Can you provide more info, what kernel and rom are you using to flash PA?

Hi
I tried it from ics (crash v8.1, liquid black 3.2, criskelorom v9, fusion Tom 2.5, rocket Tom v10) ........ no result
I tried it from the gb 2.3.6 (stock).... no result
I used clockworkmod recovery... abyss kernel
Everytime the same problem hung on the boot logo... and no access to clockworkmod recovery....

Go back to gingerbread, root and install clockworkmod, put the pa ROM & gapps zip on your sdcard then go into recovery (cwm) factory wipe data 2-3 times, flash ROM then gapps next wipe cache 2-3 times, finally reboot and wait.

Do I need to install abyss kernel to format and wipe or the native 5.0.2.7 recovery is enough.. and is it safe to wipe cache,format factory reset in stock 2.3.6 by cwm recovery 5.0.2.7
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

It's safe to wipe using a gingerbread kernel in recovery which is exactly what abyss is, a gingerbread kernel. No need to use abyss if you're already on a gingerbread stock ROM.

done .... flashed stock 2.3.6 gb rom... flashed cwm recovery and did the same as u told me to do... but again struck on the boot screen logo...
i cant access recovery but can still access download mode....
even i cant understand where is the problem why paranoid is not working on my note.....confused
can i try installing paranoid without installing gapps..... will that work or not?

when you were on GB stock without rooting did you boot into recovery and wipe data, cache ?
( vol up + home + power ) buttons in combination together take you into recovery. you have to keep pressing till N7000 logo shows up, then u let go and then recovery appears
If you already know and done it then im sorry to repeat.
what method you followed to root GB ?

i used CF-Root-SGN_ZS_MUL_KK1-v5.0-CWM5.rar to root and install recovery...

if you are still on this recovery, get into recovery and wipe data, cache, (advanced ) --- dalvik
give the names of the rom files you have downloaded to flash....

crashrom
criskelrom

its only when i try to install paranoid i get this problem.... cant understand y
there is one difference is paranoid and other roms is size... paranoid is abt 130mb but rest of the custom roms are 700 to 800 mb

your present status is this right ? - GB 2.3.6, rooted with cfroot, phone compltetly booted and working fine ?

yes working absolutely perfect... and recovery is also acccessable...
stock and all other custom roms are working
only problem when i try to install any damn version of paranoid

you must keep gapps ics ready for flashing with PA v0.4a,
keep both zip files on sd card
get into recovery, wipe as told before
install zip from sd card ( remember the name and keep looking till you find it ) choose zip file,, flash it,
then same thing with gapps , flash
do the wipes again
then reboot phone ( first boot takes time so be patient )
you can use the present recovery or flash abyss kernel - --go to advanced -- reboot recovery ...etc etc ( same proceedure)
if this doesnt work ill tell you a method using CM9 safe kernel tar ( give me some time)

i have already tried this procedure so many times, but everytime after finishing installation, rebooting the phone and damn its struck again at boot logo.....
i think its the kernel and recovery which gets erased during the installation of paranoid thats y it gets struck at boot logo

Maybe you have a corrupted download. Check md5 sum to verify.

Just download Hydracore, go back to recovery and flash it... Then go advanced options and reboot recovery.. After that wipe everything again and flash the new rom... Stay away from franco kernel that's way outdated and doesn't work with anything
Tapatalking on my n7000

i tried flashing hydracore and it took for me 10mins plus at the screen and still at the same place.

you tried to flash hydracore, and its not installing ?
may be try to flash back the stock ICS using odin and then flash Philz kernel to gain root
.boot into recovery and go to mounts & storage.
format / sytem
format / data
then try to install your TMT rom

If TMT is installed, Or even part installed then it wont boot with Hydracore kernel, The main thing is just having the kernel installed cause its safe, So, In recovery (with Hydracore installed)
Do all the necessary wipes, Flash the ROM, Then flash the kernel (Philz kernel)
then it should boot
If not, follow the above post to revert back to stock ICS / GB with odin, and then start the whole procedure again :good:

[Q] I can't mount any ROM. Device unnamed [?]

Hello there.
I have a problem with my N7000. Today I've flashed stock firmware onto my phone, everything went ok, but I have a problem now. When I'm trying to install something from recovery, I can't. I select the ROM, everything is beeing checked, etc, and when it wants to install update, a message appears: "This packgage is for 'galaxynote,n7000,N7000,GT-N7000' devices: this is a ' '." . This happens with every single rom that I am trying to install via recovery. I tried to flash stock firmware two times, two different, still same effect, tried to whipe data/cache etc, still didnt got any effect. Any solution guys?

After you flash the stock ROM, the recovery will be stock as well.. You will not be able to flash roms from here.. For that you will need to flash philz kernel.

Well actually I can install anything via recovery, so installing kernel isnt possible.

I have exactly the same problem (and the same situation) as the OP. You cannot flash Philz kernel from stock recovery because the exact same error will pop up.
Right mate I think I got it. You will need to flash an older version of Philz kernel first, and then upgrade. Worked fine for me once I decided to install "05.05.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v5.00.4 with CWM 6.0.3.1 based recovery" first.
