I installed cyanogenmod 10.2 nightly 20130824 accidentally, thinking that it was another 10.1 update (which by then was pretty stable), and realized that i made a big mistake: tonnes of bugs (focal, screen elements blacking out, play store not working).
But when i tried to boot into recovery to restore my clockworkmod full back up (which i do almost everytime i update CM), the "Galaxy Note N7000" boot screen comes up, and then a black screen. I can still boot back into the normal boot, but the tonnes of bugs just annoys me sooo much.
(i've tried to boot into recovery many times, to no avail)
Then, i tried to update it. I figured a newer version should at least be slightly more stable.
But updating cyanogenmod requires the phone to boot into recovery.
soooo fk.
Also when i try to boot into download mode, a screen showing an android icon and Downloading Do Not Turn Off Target pops out.
So after some google searches which didnt help, i came here to xda devs hoping you smart people could help me with this predicament.
Please tell me, has anyone experienced this problem on any phone and do you have any idea what to do?
It's a known bug with cm10.2. Follow this thread, just install phillz kernel to give you recovery, then you can flash cm10.1.

I was fiddling around with ROM Manager and installed the touch recovery, when I tried to reboot into recovery my phone just hung at the LG boot screen. I am at a loss on what to do with it, is there some type of software I can download to fix this?

Hi there,
Have been using ICS on my galaxy s for a couple of months. However this is the second time out of the blue it's decided not to boot for me.
The first time I thought it was because I dropped it and reinstalled gingerbread through Odin, then went back to ICS which was a very lengthy process.
I haven't installed anything, and now after just using the phone as per normal and it's decided to stop working? Any tricks I can do?
Basically it boots up, gets to the loading screen and just does that forever. I can boot into recovery but not sure what I should be doing next.
You could try reflashing your rom from recovery .
I think it's necessary to know which ICS-rom, for example slim ICS 2.8 needs to flash kernel first and then the rom ...

Thanks imgibby123, if that is the last resort I may as well try it.
I've actually forgotton which one it is, I flashed ages ago and was very stable it just literally broke itself (a number of apps where crashing this mornign (reader, gmail etcc), so I held down the power button, turned it off as per normal, now the phone won't get passed the loading boot animation).
It was cynogen something, team platypus - I feel stupid I can't recall the details. But the ROM is still on there so I'll try reflashing from recovery.
Edit: It's ICS 4.0.3 RC3.1, so obviously still a RC but still! It worked flawlessly for months before
Thanks for the help.
[SOLVED -- Read my last post]
Posting on forum was my last resource, but I've tried literately almost everything I can possible find.
I already bricked my phone and had to unbrick, do everything (update firmware etc) all over again.
I am at a point where I am afraid to do something new to my phone now without knowing what they are...
Please bare with me, I am not familiar with exactly what flashing is or whatnot, I just followed the instructions and got where I am....
K, recently I decided to wipe my phone CLEAN and update to new CyanogenMod 9 from factory mode.
So, I have Captivate, I897. It was ECLARE with 2.1 firmware.
I have updated to 2.3.5 (Gingerbread [I897UCKJ2]), Rooted.
I had to Flash BACK to KK4_stock_kernel.tar for me to use WIFI again because I had issue after Rooting my phone, I couldnt access the WIFI.
I installed Clockwork mod (Free version).
My goal is to install CyanogenMod 9, and part of the process requires me to enter the CMW Recovery Mod.
I dont even know what this looks like, but all I know is whenever I boot my phone, after the AT&T logo animation it seems to go into this "messed up" screen, where as if my phone is broken. Stays there for 3 seconds and then continues to boot back to its OS.
In ROM manager, it says Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (You must have the clockworkmod recovery installed to flash and restore ROMs!)
Another option within ROM manager is, Reboot into Recovery (Boot into Recovery mode for manual management.), which if I do access it, it takes me back to that AT&T logo animation and that "messed up" screen again, but this time it stays there. Where all kinds of colored pixels are on my screen as if my screen is broken. It will only continue to boot back to my OS if I press power button or some sort.
Im guessing that's my Recovery Mod, which my phone for some reason cannot see?
So I tried "Download ROM (Upgrade to ROM Manager (premium) to access the full list of ROMs!", hoping this may cure that messed up screen effect, which I think is the Recovery Mod for all I know... When I click to install, it gives me Confirm Phone Models. None are my phone model for me to install.. (It only gives me Google Nexus S / Google Nexus S 4G / Samsung Epic4G / Samsung GalaxyS i9000).
Earlier, I was looking at this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127578
which is a way to fix recovery mod(?) But I have NO idea how to even install those files... Maybe not the .tar file but the other one.
Please help? Am I the only one experiencing this kind of problem? Couldnt find anywhere else on youtube / google / forum..
Thank you VERY much in advance, really appreciate it..

This is your likely problem right here. The Kernel that is installed during the rooting process and typically when you install custom roms is what is responsible for installing and therefor you being able to access the CWM recovery. Flashing back to the stock kernel likely messed things up for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Now if you follow that link it will take you to several one click options for flashing your phone to stock gingerbread but with a kernel containing CWM. Also keep in mind that it is possible you could have wifi issues if you've had them in the past, but if your goal is to get to CM9 just ignore the wifi for the time it shouldn't be an isuse in the end.
Hey OP,
See this.... TRusselo's Flashing Guide

You need Gingerbread bootloaders.
Thanks guys! I figured out the problem and solved it!
Like you guys said, I didnt have the bootloader. The gingerbread I installed was the no bootloader version. After reinstalling to the one with bootloader, I was able to access the recovery mod and that "rainbow screen" glitch was no more.
Thank you!
Hello.
I just successfully flashed CM9 Build 6 on my Galaxy S Plus. It was terrifying.
My problem lies in the fact that i can't seem to get Gapps working. I tried multiple versions, from the latest one to 20120429, which is currently the last one flashed on my phone. The apps don't appear, and trying to use a downloaded Google Play app from the web makes it start, but it just flashes a 'Loading' screen for a split second and then boots me back to the app menu.
Any ideas on what I could do next to fix this?
Have you tried wiping your entire phone and then reinstalling CM9 + gapps (the version provided by arco68)?
It's what I did the first time. Should I flash it again?
You should definitely give it a shot, maybe something went wrong while flashing.
What recovery are you using?
Apparently I had the stock one, that must of been the problem. Didn't document well enough.
I've just flashed 6.0.1.2 and I'll flash everything again once I download all the files.
Yep that was it. It runs as it should now. Thank you for your help.
Good to hear!
Slightly related, please note what's going on in the dev section (here). Certain combinations of recovery software and hardware may brick your phone if you try to wipe data. Playing with your new recovery could be dangerous right now, be careful!
Droid 4 running Stock Jb 4.1.2, Safestrap 3.11, Liquid smooth 2.9, CM (last stable)
Everything working fine for a number of months, installed Liquid smooth via -> delete romslot 3, create romslot 3, install Liquid 2.8.
It ran for a number of days no problems. Restarted fine, all features worked great, even the annoying random restart from 2.4 went away.
6 - 10 days in, im surfin' the news sites at work, put it down, screen goes black, i pick it up. Hit the power button cause i realize its off and it just boot loops... so bad i had to vol-/+ pwr, go to flash mode and THEN turn it off b/c it just kept trying to restart, hang on logo.
I got home and decided to AP flash the latest:
9.8.2O-72_VZW-18-2
Blur_Version.98.72.182.XT894.Verizon.en.US for the maserati.
Boot looped a few times, i was able to get it to go into recovery mode, after that it loaded up the stock JB system. First boot it crashed and restarted, second boot it loaded but only the keyboard worked, not the touch screen. Went to the in OS option of factory reset mode + delete storage.
Rebooted, worked. Checked it a few boots, everything is fine. I use Druid 4 Utility Xt894 JB version and apply the root. Works great. Install safestrap, Create new partition, install liquid smooth 2.9. Works for an afternoon... at work today the touch screen stops responding, i restart it a few times. I try to enter recovery mode. Now im in boot loop again...
I've tried re flashing it again, a few times. I tried even going down to the previous release of JB for the phone. STILL 4.1.2!!!! But nothing.... it just boot loops... what did i do wrong? It was running great. No tweaks or anything done to it prior to it having its melt down.
Help please.. ive provided as much information as possible and though i only joined XDA now to post for help, i have read it for a long time as my main source for my phone and have donated to both CM and Liquidsmooth teams previously..
help!!!
I can't see where you are doing anything wrong. You have obviously done your research and have a good idea of what you are doing. I see, after you fastbooted, you went back to Liquid. I think I would try running CM10.1 or even stock for a few days and see if you have the issue there as well. If you do than it sounds to me like it might be a hardware issue. If not, maybe try re-downloading Liquid. Perhaps your zip got corrupted somehow.
I would love too. In fact i would be willing to run it on the stock crappy 4.1.2 if i could get it out of boot loop this time...
It just keeps boot looping on the logo. AP Fashboot flash and BP flash work but recovery and normal boot/reboot mode just goes into M logo boot loop.
I've re downloaded the 4.1.2 jb SBFs from 2 different sources to ensure its not a corrupt file, tried 18_1 and 18_2 software versions...
Is there a way to use the abd shell to get into the filesystem and check whats going on? Is the SBF the last call? or is there another route to see whats going on or just flash EVERYTHING? Like completely back to stock?
I can find my way around a PC file system but im not familiar with linux. Please help me understand, Is it like having CMOS and BIOS settings or equivalent to damaged CMOS firmware? What am i not replacing/reverting by SBF and HOW can i replace/revert BEYOND the basic sbf...
If ya point me in a direction or to someone who can help me out i can do all the foot work just point me in the right direction?
Is this applicable? I found a site talking about using CWM in a ADB shell file push to possibly get access to more features?
The article also goes into reading the busybox / ADB command screen? (sorry for not proper jargin) and see what its doing during the boot loop before it restarts?
Id add the link but i need more posts....
Update: Flashed 18_2 again with a "factory cable" i made, let it boot loop a series of times before it started up into the stock system again.
At first, again the touch screen wouldn't work, random lockups and restarts, etc. Since i just got it into the main system again and i had to leave for the weekend for a trip(no wifi or network), i couldn't mess with it all weekend but i left it on the whole time and kept checking its functionality... gradually its come back to full function. Touch screen works and is accurate, no more lockups, no more restarting, even stopped boot looping when i restart and enter recovery..
Im not sure and i couldn't find any forum converstations or write ups to support to idea but i think after a major crash and you flash new or reflash your SBF, it seems the phone needs time to recalibrate and index? Not sure, but just an FYI. Gonna try loading SS and liquid again.
