We need more info. What was on the phone before you flashed Pac Man? Also, did you flash anything else with it?

That's all. I just updated the rom. I followed the steps given in updating the rom. No, only the rom.

I think there's no problem in how I flashed the rom. Maybe the rom itself is the problem because after flashing back to stock Gingerbread, I rooted my phone, flashed a kernel with cwm, installed root, did full wipe and flashed the rom but still stuck on bootloop. Thanks for trying to help.

Coming from GB, you have to repartition, which means that you have to flash the ROM twice in order for it to boot.

How do I repartition?
I'm still on gingerbread with corn kernel, how should I flash the rom?

Like I said, flash it twice in a row. Also don't forget the GApps if it's a AOSP ROM.

Flashing CM9 From Stock i9000

Hi
After using CM9 for some time, I decided to upgrade to the new stable release. I am not sure what happened, but the flash was unsuccessful. Using ODIN I restored my phone back to stock.
When I try to install CM9 I now end up in a recovery loop, where the phone will only boot into recovery.
What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this?
Many thanks
Harry

Do you install cm9 through cwm recovery?

Yes I did, using the CWM that comes with the speedmod kernel. The CWM that the phone boots to after this, however, is an updated one, I assume the one that comes with CM9. From here I have tried reflashing CM9 but still have the recovery bootloop
Harry
Hey
Is your phone rooted??
and try flashing the rom twice..
Hi
It has Cwm but I didn't root before flashing. Thought it didn't make a difference?
I have tried flashing twice, still has me booting into recovery

For installing CM9 your phones needs to be on 2.3.6 and rooted...click here for my guide...
After I follow your guide will I have cwm and do i then just flash as usual?
Harry
Yup..
After rooting 2.3.6 you can follow the regular steps for CM9...

Ok I have upgraded, then when I try to flash CM9 it starts the process then quickly enters a bootloop where I get to the cyanogenmod kernel screen. I know I need to flash twice but I cannot see how to do so?
Thanks
Harry
Hey
Remove the battery...put it back after atleast 10 sec..then boot into recovery using 3 Button Combo...then flash the rom again...
This time it'll take a few min..then it'll re-boot itself..
Enjoy..
Got it all working perfectly now, thank you so much

Bootloader (Twrp won't flash things)

Hello there, having trouble flashing roms with trwp 2.3.4 getting error 7.
So I was wondering how do I get into the bootloader or ADB mode when I only have access to twrp?
Want to flash Clockworkmod or a newer version of trwp but can't .
Very frustrating, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which kernel are you on ?
Just flash a stock cm10.1 kernel & reboot to recovery. Then flash whatever you want.

The note is unique as this is all built into the kernel... So flash a new kernel you get a recovery with it... Don't push anything with Adb...if you must use PC Odin

Think I'm on hydracore at the moment, that's what I tried over odin anyway.
Thing is I'm getting efs mount errors when I try and flash my previous rom (alliance v3)
Thanks though, i'll try flashing some different kernel.
Wooo, seems flashing hydracore from odin failed, manually flashing hydracore worked a charm on CWM 6 now and just flashed without any errors.
Thank you very much chaps!
(Although Rom won't boot, is there any additional steps to flashing roms with the note, don't have to do any boot.img stuff right?

Did you wipe ? Make sure you're on safe kernel.
I had the same !
When you want to flash sth, just uncheck that two thing above "slide to flash"

I think that you can flash that Globe version too (just pay attention is it P or not (firmware and your phone), it is just difference in bloatware from that provider.
Try looking on samsung-updates.com too.

its i9070 only. i found some fw in officialrom.com i think and it has same build version from live.samsung-updates.com.
the problem with my phone is that i was running twrp and a custom rom tried installing carbon over it. it was a success but then i dont like much the carbon custom rom so i tried to reflash it thru recovery. boot to recovery using quickboot(phone got a busted volume keys) i found out that twrp was replace with cwm so i wipe data/cache/factory and flash it with cocore+twrp then reboot system and it got stock in boot logo. but i can go to download mode volume down+home+power. only problem is volume up isnt working lol. so i order volume keys waiting for it to arrive so that i could install it and try to fix my phone. i still dont know yet if i could go to recovery mode.
thanks =)

You should do reboot recovery option in TWRP. But still you can't go back from CM10.2 and CM11 to stock without repartitioning /preload partition. You will get bootloop too... You must flash stock firmware or use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612540

You was not planning, but you must repartition that preload partition. With that script or with flashing stock firmware.
P.S. If you mean ROM Pure Vanilla - it is based on stock ROM. It is themed stock ROM.

You came so far, its to late to turn back...
If only you had read the instructions...
Then you would know...
That you need a more recent version of your recovery...
Which is part of a kernel...
So flash raw kernel...
And then flash C-Rom...

To Flash ANY/ALL KK Based Roms (4.4+) you need base recovery 0f 6.0.4.4+. Can you still reboot to recovery? What rom vers are you previously on? Rooted? What recovery? If your charging port has been damaged, how are you gonna charge your phone? Get it repaired ASAP before doing anything else. Loss of battery during Rom flashing can make your phone a nice desk decoration.

Do you still remember your Stock Rom's Build number? If yes, then you can try downloading philz safe kernel with recovery that is compatible with your build number, flash it in cwm recovery, then reboot to RECOVERY, from there do a factory reset wipe, all formats (system, data, cache, preload) wipe dalvik cache (If you don't understand any of the terms I mentioned above, please go to philz page and read) and Flash a TW BASED custom rom first (you can find and download any rom as long as it's TW based). See if that boots.
Ultimately you WILL need that charging/USB Port fixed so please make that a TOP Priority

@annie22 you could also download any JB kernel (if you were on JB) of philz and flash it in recovery, reboot recovery, then flash Raw kernel r4 or r5 and reboot recovery and from there flash C-Rom or any other KK rom. You can use any philz kernel irrespective of the build number as long as you are using it only to flash another kernel and then rom of your choice. Make sure to download the .zip version of the philz kernel and put that and raw kernel and rom on external sd card. Keep back up of these kernels and roms on pc as well so that you can connect memory card to pc and transfer those files back to card, as it so happened that i while doing full wipe on philz kernel it also wiped my external card.

Flash freeza beastmode kernel :good:
So I'm really screwing up. Before I did what you said, I tried to install another rom. In Doing so I wiped all data, system too. So the beast mode kernel was installed but now theres no os. Any suggestions?
EDIT: So I installed the Rapture rom and it looks like I'm good to go right now! Thanx
