Stuck on samsung screen

I'm currently on jellycore (hydracore kernel), I download the ICS rom below and tried to flash it via CWM. I wiped cache/dalvik and installed from SD, everything seemed to go ok but now the phone will only boot to the samsung logo.

Do you think I should try and install an older ROM like gingerbread via PC-Odin ?
Thanks,

Why did you only wipe cache and dalvik? You should've wiped data as well. Boot back into Recovery. Flash the Hydracore kernel (if you don't have that, flash the Jellycore ROM because it has the kernel). Reboot recovery. Wipe data, cache and dalvik. Flash stock ICS again. Boot.

I'm currently in download mode because I was going to install GB via PC-Odin. Can I just turn off the phone ?. Also is the ROM in the OP ok to flash once I've re-flashed hydracore ?.

It should give you an option to reboot in download. But you can just hold down volume up + power + home button and restart to recovery.
After you re-flash Hydracore AND REBOOT RECOVERY, you can flash whatever stock ICS you want, just make sure you wipe data, cache and dalvik.
DO NOT WIPE DATA BEFORE YOU REBOOT RECOVERY! Can't stress enough.

Just to be 100% sure, wipe data, cache and dalvik AFTER I've flashed hydracore, rebooted recovery and flashed stock ICS.

You can flash hydracore, reboot recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik, then flash stock ICS.

Good.
It does take longer to boot the first time, especially on TW roms.

[Q] OMNI AsylumKANG Rom flash problems

Hey,
I got little problem and I need some help. I wanted to falsh OMNI AsylumKANG (from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591479 ) , but my n7000 failed to start system. Instead after samsung logo it restarted into twrp screen.My version number is N7000XXLT9. These are steps I made:
1. using stock recovery I flashed PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT9-ORA-5.11.2-signed
2. then launched and rebooted into PhilZ recovery
3. flashed raw_kernel_r4_j43 and reboot into recovery
4. wiped data, cache partition and dalvik cache
7. flashed AsylumKANG_4.4.2_n7000_Build2.2
8. flashed pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.2-20140111-signed
9. flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86
10. reboot
Afterwards as I said phoned showed samsung logo and rebooted itself to twrp recovery
What is problem here?
Thanks for help.
Should reflash Philz. Go to wipe/factory reset menu, then choose clean to install rom. Then go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache. Then reflash raw5, then flask rom.

Thanks for idea but I didn't help I flashed stock rom, then Philz then clean to install rom, wipe dalvik cache and the rest is just like from step 3 down. Same issue. I flashed once again stock rom and Philz, but this time installed paranoid android 3+ (pa_n7000-3.99-RC2-20131012). It worked. Maybe I just wait for more kitkat 4.4 based rom releases and then try.
After flash r5 you need to boot into recovery before proceed with lashing rom. Make sure you have done that step.

i9305 stuck on rom booting screen after flash

Was flashing my friends i9305 and now it wont boot any rom I flash... always gets stuck on the first boot screen until I take out battery.
I flashed CWM 6.0.4.7 using odin.
I have tried flashing several roms (CM 11, CM 10.1, PACman 4.3)... Each one will flash with no errors, then when I reboot after correct GAPPS it just gets stuck on the loading screen forever and won't boot up into ROM.
Wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system > Install rom from zip, install GAPPS from zip > reboot (even here I wipe system/data/cache - still doesnt work).
Any ideas on why it won't load up the roms....

Well I figured it out... since it was never flashed or anything before (from stock rom)... I just went into the Mounts and Storage menu, and formated /cache /system /data manually and it finally worked.
Hope that helps

Cannot install ROM - but I am rooted?

Hey guys,
I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device - but for some reason, I cannot install ROMs.
When I access the recovery and attempt an install, it merelty aborts me from the process. I don't get it.
I believe the problem may be due to an accidental OTA update - but every time I try to rectify this with a factory reset, the update occurs automatically, before I am even granted access to the phone. Heck, every time I turn the device on, it says "android is upgrading".
Has anyone ever experienced this? Any idea on a course of action? The stock firmware just eats my battery like its a buffet.
Take a backup in twrp(data , system , boot) , take a titanium backup of ur apps..
Download the rom and gapps.
Go to recovery and wipe >advanced wipe > system, data, cache and dalvik cache
If it's a 5.1 Custom rom, flash cm 12.1 boot img or 12.1 rom first.
Then wipe , system, data, cache and dalvik cache.
Flash the Downloaded rom And gapps , it will take 5-10mins to boot up at first.
If ur gonna flash cm13, directly flash it (if u were on lollipop) , no need to flash cm 12 and then cm 13
If ur experiencing any errors, post a screenshot of the error.
Hope this solved ur problem

XT1034 - Slimkat stuck on flashing logo on bootup

I flashed SlimKat using Philz, and it's stuck on the flashing blue SlimKat logo. It's been stuck like this for a little over 10 minutes. I can still get it into recovery, and yes, I've already tried wiping Dalvik and cache. Any other suggestions?

Ok here is the solution.
1)Make sure your files are complete
2)Try it with TWRP recovery latest version
Even if you are using Philz or TWRP,
1)Try to advance wipe system, data, cache
2)Then flash the files
3)wipe dalvik cache
Cheers​
