So, I'll tell the story like it is:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 from At&t. I was on a touchwiz rom, and like most everybody, the lag became unbearable. So, like the other countless times before, I downloaded the Kitkat port for Cyanogenmod. All was well and I transferred it, along with the right gapps onto my phone, went into the recovery and flashed it after wiping user data, cache, and dalvik cache. I booted it and experienced bootloop. I went back into my recovery, CWM at the time, and factory data reset it and rebooted. Bootloop persisted. Baffled, I put re flashed my old touchwiz rom and loaded CM Installer on it, installed through that service and all was well. When it booted I found out that it was an RC build of 4.3, not what I wanted. I then downloaded countess other 4.4 roms like Packman and Illusion as well as Omin, none booted successfully. I then searched on XDA for a bit and found that some older versions of CWM recovery were not compatible. So I downloaded the latest version and flashed through Odin. Tried all 4 of the previously named ROMS again and yet bootloops continue to happen. I've flashed roms before and this has never happened! What am I doing wrong?
Make sure that you are not trying to flash n7100 roms to n7105
I've seen an option like "complete clean up for new rom installation" in PhilZ CWM. I don't know if it is from PhilZ or CWM. Just try that option.
If it's still not booting. Flash an official firmware via ODIN. At the first boot, go into 3e stock recovery, do a factory reset.
This isn't even the right thread.

If you flashed an N7100 ROM onto the AT&T Note 2, then it's pretty much game over. Your best chance would be to install a stock i317/N7105 ROM using ODIN. Even then, the EFS might be wiped and you'll never be able to use cellular services ever again, because the IMEI will be missing.

hi.
I'm now stuck at 2.1
I've tried using odin or CWM, but I could NOT get my phone to Froyo.
Flashed using odin or CWM successfully, without any error. But couldn't boot, just stuck at Galaxy S screen.
Flashing back to 2.1 is no problem
How long did you wait on the Galaxy S boot animation?
It will take longer to boot because your phone is rebuilding the dalvic cache..

There wasn't any boot animation. Just a Galaxy S i9000 screen alone.
I left it for more than 5 mins. Still with cold and cheerless screen, nothing changed.
Does it look like this?

I expected to see this screen so much. But what I got was not even close.
which froyo rom are you trying to flash and are you using the international I9000 SGS?
You might have missed some procedures...

I've been flashing my Samsung Vibrant T959 using odin or CWM like thousand times but never seen anything like this.
I have tried JS5, JS7, JP1, JP3 (european)... and some Asian version, but there was no luck
I initially thought there was a problem with odin. But then I flashed back to 2.1 JFD, JM8 , JM9... smoothly. Then got my SGS rooted, CWM flashed, then tried some CWM Froyo and Gingerbread ROM, but all failed to boot .
I almost give up. Is there anybody have any idea?
Okey so basically my problem is that when I boot my SGS the notification bar force closes right after I've entered my pin-code. This problem appeared after updating the firmware to 2.3.3 through Kies. I've also rooted the phone (CF root).
Thanks for the help in advance
How did you upgrade and what did you do? By any accident you didnt apply a theme right? Just stock with wipe and cf root. Nothing more. No old settings or backups?

You must do a factory reset from the Settings menu and your problem will be solved. Make sure you back up your personal data
Cheers !!
Thanks for help! I did factory reset with CWM and now working like charm.
I got the JVB installer from samfirmware.com and followed the step to install from that website. After install, it just fine. Then, I applied the CF-root to restore titanium backup. Just restore user apps with data. Also successed.
But after reboot, I got this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, i don't have statusbar after closed the alert message.
Then reflash back to stock JVB. Look like fine. Reboot and apply CF-root. Again... I got the status bar force close. Reflash back to stock JVB and then after reboot, I got it again.
Now..back to Froyo XWJS8 and criskelo. What your advice so that I can get the JVB gingerbread running fine and I can restore my titanium backup?
Well, only one advice actually. Dont restore apps from froyo on GB. Or at least not all of them?
Maybe do 10, reboot. Fine, next batch etc. You might find the culprit that way I guess.
Whew, I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I've searched through the threads hoping to find something that would help me but I keep hitting dead ends. Ok, When I first rooted my Samsung Captivate over 5 months ago I used Odin method. I flashed speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz to my cappy and then I flashed Slim Bean 4.2.2 build 6 and I loved it! Since I liked it so much i flashed Build 7 when it released and then to what Im at now which is Slim Bean 4.3. After I flashed Slim Bean for the first time it changed my kernel from speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz to Semaphore 3.0.91+. Yesterday I decided i wanted to switch up my rom to the Avatar cappy rom. So I got the rom and the gapps. I then loaded in recovery which changed to Semaphore CWM 6.0.3.6 after the flash. I then did factory wipe then cache then delvik cache. I selected the avatar rom to install and it gave me a status 7 error. I searched it and it brought me to the mobile odin fix. So I downloaded Mobile ODIN and when it loads it says "A compatible device was detected, but with an unexpected partition layout". So that was just a kick in the face. I searched what ODIN said but didn't get a good answer or fix. I've also tried to switch to TWRP but when I try it says there are no recoveries. If anyone can help me I would be so grateful. I'm kinda green at this whole rooting and rom flashing but it really intrigues me! Thanks.
PS. Sorry if there is already a thread for this. I didn't see anything.

I don't know anything about TWRP but if you are using CWM, do this....do all your wipes....then go to "Mounts and Storage" click on "Format System".....then flash your rom and gapps and reboot.

I don't think you can go directly from 4.3 to 4.2. You might have to flash kk4 without bootloaders and work you way back up.
Imo, even if there was another way, i'd still take that one to be sure to have a clean install.

Ok thanks I will give that a try! I had that same thought so I tried 4.3 CM10 but no luck. I will try to flash that kernal. I flashed the speedmod kernel the other night but it still acted the same. i will give what you recommended a shot when i get a few minutes. Thanks again!
Hey just checking back in! I'm glad to say that flashing back stock worked flawlessly! I used Odin One Click to go back to Eclair then I just flashed speedmod then [4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[RC2]. Everything is running great! Thanks for all the help!
I am trying to install this custom Rom at the moment.
My problem is that the recovery image that I am supposed to use doesn't really work for me. I use AIO Toolkit and root with the recovery image. Than I want to install SuperUser through through the Recovery Mode. But the phone constantly displays the LG Logo. No Bootloop just stuck at the logo. PWR + -Vol doesn't work. It just stays at the Logo. When I use AIO Toolkit and reinstall another recovery image (e.g. ClockworkMod 6.0.1.5). It works fine. But when I install the Rom then it just does nothing. Still 2.3.4 Gingerbread V20Q and not CM10. So it looks like I really need the recovery to get it to work.
Anybody know how to make the recovery image in the thread to work?
I can't post in the thread itself because I don't have 10 posts yet sadly.

Number 3 does not work. Number 2 for example does.

/EDIT:
Flashed the official LG Adndorid 4.0.4 V30a and then flashed the CM10. Works now!
Hello XDA - Experts Team,
first of all, sorry for my bad English!
I have an older Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE (SM-G925F) / original ROM - DBT (last OTA update) / no branding / without root, that until recently worked perfectly and never made any complaints ... at least until a few days ago while an APP installation (she probably destroyed something) and got stuck in the bootloop .....
First i deleted the cache in recovery mode (I didn't want WIPE, because of data loss) because I read here that I might be able to solve the problem this way, but it didn't work ... then I downloaded the file - G925FXXS6ETI6_G925FDBT6ETJ1_G925FXXU6ERF6_HOME. tar.md5 via SamFirm, and flashed it (according to XDA flashing Thread) with ODIN3 (3.14.4) in DownloadModus on Handy, the only stupid thing is that ODIN aborted / stopped in the Installation Process! Since then the phone only boots up to the Samsung logo, the recovery mode has disappeared and I only get into the download mode! : (((
When i trying to re-flash the firmware, now ODIN3 always stops at boot.img and aborts the process (see Figure 2) with FAIL (different ODIN versions tried, different USB cables / ports connected)!
I also read here in the forum that you could make a backup with TWRP (I took: twrp-3.3.1-0-zerolte.img.tar) to save/recovery my phone-data ... TWRP cannot be done with ODIN3 either play, the preview goes also until recovery.img and then breaks off, again and again with Fail!

Please Help! What am I doing wrong!?
I've already tried everything and can't get any further, I'm really slowly desperate ... I am mainly concerned with the data / pictures etc. that are on the phone, and hmmm unfortunately I don't have a backup of the data! You are my last resort, people!
Any advice from you would be great!
