Stuck at "touch the android to begin"

This concerns my galaxy note n7000. I had a rooted checkrom v4 working on my note. I tried to install criskelorom v2 and got bootloops. I then tried to go back to stock via odin and flashed stock N7000 KL3 ROM which i had earlier used, I had to go to stock because after bootloop even recovery was not working. now after flashing stock i am getting a strange problem of the phone getting stuck at the welcome to gt-n7000 screen . "touch the android to begin" . nothing is happening after touching the android on the screen although i can change the language etc and even the pull down notification is also working but the phone is stuck at the initial stage. I have a nandroid backup of my initial checkrom in my internal sd card but cannot restore it before installing a rom with root and cwm. Kindly help . Thanks.

I'm having the exact problem. I'm hoping we can create a soft brick sticky thread. I walked away from my phone last night because I was getting frustrated.
My attempts to flash stock ROM via Odin resulted in the "not responding" message in windows. I can get to both CWM and download mode, however any ROM flashed via CWM results in the behavior described by the OP. fortunately I have access to another Samsung phone, so I can double check driver installation (although it worked for flashing previously).
I'm continuing a search through the forums to find some alternate methods for unbricking. Hope someone has an idea.
Thanks!

It seems that the stock roms i was trying to flash were nonwipe ones so i flashed xxla3 which is a wipe rom and was able to boot . I then flashed the earlier kl3 rom over this rom because kl3 is rootable. I then rooted and installed cwm booted into recovery and restored my earlier nandroid backup. I think the situation arises because the nonwipe rom was unable to clear the cache , user data etc

Thank you for the information. I had exactly the same problem. What did you use to root KL3 ?

Just wipe both cash and user data, and reboot.

reboot to recovery mode -> mount and storage -> format system, format cache, format data.
and do a factory reset and wipe cache.
problem should be solved cause that's what i did

Completely messed up my mini

So , to begin with I had cyanogen mod 9.1 on my phone .
Please view this thread :
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948053
So according to that thread , my phone had 4 partitions and like one senior member said I tried using link2sd . It couldn't move files to sd card . But it had an option called create a link with sd card . That freed up some space so I started linking apps . Then android.comm.process popped up . I rebooted but my phone was then stuck on the loading screen . I started recovery and wiped my data . Then my phone got started again .
But the problem was that my phone still had those 4 partitions . So I decided to delete the sd card . I backup'ed my contents and then went to settings and wiped the sd card . I rebooted my phone . That's where the problem started .
My phone was getting stuck at the loading screen . I tried wiping cache , dalvik cache , data but to no avail and I couldn't mount the sd card or the sd card ext . In short , I couldn't access my phone .
I decided to install the stock rom again(Gingerbread official) . But that too failed , I am still stuck at the boot screen and the phone goes into a continuous loop of restart .
P.s My cwm was deleted automatically after installation of stock rom .
Edit : I was successful in installing cwm in my phone
Please help

If Gingerbread is installed successfully & ur phone bootloops, pull out the battery, re-insert it, goto recovery & do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. It's recommended to do this from stock recovery. I had success turning my phone on after wiping data/cache of stock rom from stock recovery. However, I did that again after immediately flashing CWM Recovery & it again goes into infinite bootloops. Better to use Stock Recovery for this.
Hope this helps!!...

Firstly if ur phone is down, u should use odin to flash the stock rom by going into download mode as it works in bootlooped devices(TESTED over 20 times) ,further since your problem is LINK2SD related u should have wiped ur phone by CWM.DONT WORRY if all else fails go to SAMSUNG SERVICE CENTRE.

You can install a new recovery (CWM or TWM). Than you will can do wipes.
Give me thanx please if I helped.

@alexissuper > Please don't be tell people wrong things. You CAN wipe data even with stock recovery. The wipe data function is available in all recovery mode. Flashing new recovery won't solve any problem.
So I think sdcard may cause this problem, format sdcard or partition it. Report back when the problem solved or persisted.

You can try doing it through adb, with the command "adb shell wipe data"or try flashing another Recovery and then wipe the Data partition. That might help.

fixed it already..
replaced PIT file and removed SD CARD while doing Odin.

[Q] [Help] S3 Mini ALWAYS restarting

Hi guys.. I need help on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini i8190.. I (think) did everything but nada..
Problem
My phone is always restarting, it gets in to the phone for a few seconds but then always restart.
It is rooted, with CWM Recovery touch 6.2.0.7.
What i have done
CWM Recovery
- Factory Reset
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Wipe Data
- Wipe Cache
*everytime i got into recovery mode, i noticed that the system is unmounted, is that normal?
In the recovery mode, it said that it was success but when i reboot system, still get the same latest phone condition with no change at all. It means the factory reset, and all the wiping did not work.
Odin
- Flash with stock ROM
- Install latest CWM recovery
- Install stock recovery
- Install Cyanogen
In the ODIN, it said that it was a success, still i get the same latest phone condition with no change at all. It means that all the process was not working.
I concluded that this might happens because the internal storage was very full, it has only 16 MB left (according to CWM when i try to backup on internal storage). And i think the only way is to factory reset, but as i mentioned before, i tried using CWM to factory reset but still go back to the latest phone condition.
I am looking forward for your help guys..

i have the same problem and tried also all the ways you mentioned.
this problem drives me crazy. please help guys

Have you tried using twrp instead, just a thought, & maybe clear out internal storage with file manager
