so i am running Galaxy Mod rom on my phone, and loved since the day i flashed it. but since i flashed it ive noticed certain things that turn me off to it. (SORRY to the maker). so im looking to put another rom on my phone, BUT!, no matter what computer i connect to cannot get another rom onto my phone, it says it can be put on there, that the device is malfunctioning. i tried a different data cable, a different computer, and putting it on my sc card, it wont reconize or even see the sd. i downloaded straight from the site, cannot find the rom in recovery. i looked in every file and fold on my phone, im thinking the rom is locking me out, it is having its issues as well, the time dissaprears, the status bar force closes, freezes, contacts freeze up and force close, phone calls are dropped.
i feel like my phone is falling apart. i cannot get a rom on there, i cant get it to reconize the external sd card, ive redownloed and installed the driver for my phone. nothing is working, and the problems its having are happening more frequent. never had this problem with any other flash
any recommendations?

Sounds like you got a really bad flash. You are in luck that it at least boots because you can at least
If all else fails I suggest you try ODIN flash stock rooted. Have you tried to get into download mode ? can you get into recovery ? I didn't see if you mentioned that.
Look for the stock rooted ROM in the root with out tripping the flash counter thread

did you try reinstalling the samsung drivers onto your pc? is your sd card readable in other devices or your pc? and i'm assuming you've tried mounting the sd card in settings/storage?
If you have a bad flash maybe you can go into goomanager or the xda app and download a new rom directly to your phone and flash it. Maybe that will help.

I don't see where he "explicitly" states internal SD card he just said SD card or external SD card.
I know you said you searched through every folder but I know when I flash tw based ROMs all the contents of my internal SD card get moved to storage/emulated/ legacy or storage/emulated/0 maybe check there.

it's also depend on whether it's modified from TW and AOSP features or AOSP and add TW features

Well. I thought I was in luck, my wife has a s3 with kailisjr's wicked sensations rom. I grabbed her version, being the same phone, moved it to her ext sd, pit the sd into my phone, went to my file browser, moved it to my internal, went into recovery which is the latest team win. It saw it. I was soo happy. I wiped all neccessary things, went to flash wicked rom, failed to load, that's the only error. My wife's phone is the same as mine but blue. Now, stuck on samsung screen. In the midst of excitement that recovery saw the rom, I didn't make a back up
To answer the other post. I only used Odin a few times, and not really familiar with where and what to download. I am pretty good about flashing just with recovery. I can get into both down load and recovery. Just won't boot up now because of well...no rom. I did not try and mount the ext sd I thought that it would auto sense it. Will try that now.

it sounds like you didn't wipe cache, dalvik. go back in recovery and wipe them
and also flashing new rom might take some time for it to load, so be patient

Ok so I went into recovery, it won't see the ext sd, I go to just try and factory wipe, cache and dalvik, it hangs in the cache wipe saying the path to the partition cannot be found.
And now the same for dalvik
Time for Odin it seems. Go to the "root with out triping flash counter" thread. Download odin 3.07 and the at&t stock 4.1.1 with root injected. Place in download mode. Makes sure its detected and flash it in the pda spot.
You could do a full wipe and erase data as well and see if it lets you flash a ROM then. Another possibility

so let me get this straight
you flashed galaxy mod,
it wouldn't let you read ext sd card correct? (if so you needed to format it, it seems like it is running off AOSP and aosp doesn't support exfat on ext sd)
and now you're trying to flash wicked rom, but it wouldn't let you install?
if so it is either bad file or outdated recovery.
and if you're stuck on samsung screen, if wipe dalvik and cache partition + factory reset don't work
Odin back to Stock Rom
and start root, flash rom again

Are you just trying to reflash a ROM onto your phone or are you wanting to recover everything that you deleted from your SD card?
If you are wanting to recover the data you deleted from your SD card I recommend mounting the card to your computer via your recovery and then running file scavenger (free to download) to recover the deleted files.
after you recover your files with filescav then you can reformat the SD card, replace the contents of the card, and continue on your merry way without having to start over from scratch.
I'm trying to dowload a ROM to the sd card,I extracted files to sd card via recovery and micro sd adapter,Then I try to choose zip,apply and always says no such files,always says E-can't open sd/card/update.zip,Installation aborted...I tried 3 diff sd cards,even bought a brand new one with nothing on it,the files are there on the card but...Am I missing something here???

yeah I'm hella pissed that ClockWorkRecovery is a worthless piece of crap on the NoteII unlike my Atrix where it worked fine. When I go into cwm and go to clear data it restarts and I charged to 100% and it still restarts. One time it didn't restart and I backed up my current rom and it was successful. I forgot to backup with titanium back and so I cleared data and restored my original backup prior to clearing data to install cm10 and upon reboot it was like a stock rom i think the hybrid and the camera didn't even work. So it cleared all my personal data and didn't restore ****. I'm so mad now I have to do a whole bunch of work to get it back to normal.
What's up with CWM for Note 2? Why doesn't it backup EVERYTHING like my ATRIX and HTC HD2 would do no problem...
Now I can't clear data since everytime I do it, it restarts every single time... CWM - based recovery v6.0.1.4-jb Modify by xiaolu
Can I flash a better working version that actually works and backup correctly and restores all data...?
Use TWRP. It's much better.

Phone wont boot at all?
The best way to get twrp is to download goo manager from the Playstore and install it from that app. (Recovery script option)
Sent from the Bacon Pope's Galaxy Note 2
It hangs on the Hybrid screen forever so i just now install cm10 with no wipe data just to get into the os so i can copy the right files to the internal sd card for twrp etc
So now i can't get it to work at all it just hangs on the CyanogenMod screen. Does TWRP work with ntfs cards in recovery?? I hope so. Because it's stupid how it can mount usb storage and see my ntfs sd card on my pc but then i can't browse to install zip it says cannot mount. When It just got done mounting it to the pc and it worked fine.
Anyway now I'm screwed can't do anything except maybe format my 64gb sd card and I really don't want to do that.
Twrp accepts adb. You can push files to it if youre stuck in twrp.

Anyway I had to freakin reformat my 64gb card to fat32 and put the files on and i put on the latest and the Team win pops up when i do a volume up menu and power then it restarts... Never goes into TWRP.... HELP
TWRP doesn't even work I did exactly as it says here on the site :
Install using your existing recovery like you would any other zip.
Reboot and select TWRP from the boot menu.
There is no menu upon boot what the hell are they talking about? I hold volume up, menu, power and I see the Teamwin then it restarts ..... WTF?!?

Okay my phone is screwed i installed twrp in clockworkmod and it doesnt work i see teamwin then it reboots so im doing odin mode now and it does the same thing... prior to me doing all this cwm was rebooting as soon as i clear data and so I couldnt clear data and i cant boot to android or anything so CAN SOMEONE PLEASE help me do a Fresh ODIN install of TWRP PLEASE? thank you
I flashed back to cwm6-root-note2.tar and i Can At least get into recovery without it messing up and restarting like Worthless TWRP does. Anyway when I go to clear data the phone Restarts...
Don't install from cwm. I think you got it working. But I would Odin flash stock and start over. If you still have issues I would say your phone has something going on. But if you can't prove it, att won't trade. And flashing incorrectly(not official Samsung software) isn't allowed lol
Sent from GN2 using XDA app
So let me get this straight.
Your pissed because:
A.) Free CWM isnt working to your liking
B.) Free "lame stock modded rom's" are lame
C.) You've been here for 2 years and cant find where the AOSP Roms are
Sorry your free stuff doesnt bend over backwards for you
In another thread...complaining about the same thing...he says he got TWRP working. Didn't respond to my question as to what he did yet though. But the negative attitude towards something going wrong isn't going to solve the issue. Relax. Remember that both CWM and TWRP have disclaimers that if you don't know what you're doing and you screw your phone up during the install, you do it at your own risk and they're not liable, especially when many of us have installed CWM and TWRP many times in different devices without problems.
For me to get my phone working had to re-partition with a pit file for my sgh-i317 then installed stock rom then went to stock recovery cleared data etc then flashed twrp and install jellybeer cm10 which is working great.
ok i tried to odin to gb27 stock restore to get everything back to normal, after odin was done , it was doing a factory reset and it failed, it said something like "error can not mount e:\cache no such file or directory (block device required?)" and it won't boot, though i can still go to stock recovery and download mode, did i get a bad one click or somthing? and also does anyone have a mirror to one because the servers are going very slow on the site.

Sunday my phone said "android system recovery 3e failed to mount" I can still odin with the computer and get into recovery but nothing on my flash card is readable and that is where all my roms are located. Sprint tech played with it for an hour said it was bricked and they couldn't do anything. Yesterday I realized hope because I could still flash odin it just wouldn't recognize my card. I kept getting the fallen over droid with red print saying not installed. I kept flashing all different one click's and even at one point wet my pant's because my phone now said on rebott Galaxy I9000 which when I did this before I was totally bricked.
I reformatted my sd card and odin one click from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191954
then my phone rebooted with stock gb27 then to make sure everyting was good I updated the software from Samsung's website and my phone has benn great since yesterday 3:00 pm. I'm hesitant from rooting agian since this would have been the 4th bricked E4GT and I've got until 12/13 before upgrade. Running stock has been good otherthan me being a tablet mode junkie.
In closing I think what did the best was reformatting my sd card, I'm not sure what happens when doing that but I did acces my card from my computer and take my important files off 32gb card before formating in case I lost items. Didn't end up loosing anythining but i'm a junkie not an expert.
@jtsv
can you tell me the steps you took to achieve this, you might be able to help me
the only thing i'm worried about is my twrp backup and my titanium backups on my internal sd card

Everything on my internal and external storage remained intact. I just vol down power button to get into download mode and odin form the link http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=166.
It actually booted not for sure why this link was different than the others however it worked. After this installed and I set the phone up I then went to samsungs site and did the update from themevice(Install),Others (Software) (ver.OS Update GB27 (Jelly_Bean)).
It works fine now funny thing sprint tech's said to only update software through kies and it never worked for me.
Main question's everyone asked me was: What screen freezes, how far can you get it to boot, can you see your sd card, when it doid crashes trying to install what color is the print and what exactly does it say?
Any time I try to flash a rom or anything I keep getting this message: E:/error opening '/data/lost+found'
I've tried flashing different roms but it hasn't helped.
I'm having this weird problem where when I flash a new rom about 20 random apps are transferred over to the new rom. (like random games and apps)
Also every time I uninstall any app I get "cannot read data/xposed/modules.whitelist"
The app still uninstalls but this just concerns me.
Could anyone help me out? I just want to do a fresh install of liquid smooth.

Wipe everything, data, system, cache and dalvik
Then try reflashing your rom
Ok have you installed any app to sd type of application? It sounds like your internal storage is being read as external and visa versa.
Also i know there's lots of support for twrp but I swear by cwm when it comes to the GS3. I use twrp on my Nexus and that's fine but on the S3 cwm has always worked better in my opinion.
What roms are you trying to flash? They are sprint s3 roms right from this section?

I've done that. That's what the one post suggested.
I just don't understand why I'm still getting apps showing up when I install new roms.
What about wiping storage? I know you don't want to lose anything but it sounds like something in your storage causing this.

I haven't installed any app to sd type applications.
I do think part of the internal is being used as external but I thought that's just how it was.
I only have roms, nandroids, and titanium backups on my sd card.
I installed twrp because when I first started it seemed like that was what most people were recommending but it doesn't matter to me. I might switch.
Also I've been switching between cleanbean and liquid smooth, both from this section.
The main thing that bugs me is when uninstalling apps says "cannot read data/xposed/modules.whitelist"
The app still uninstalls but it just doesn't seem good.

A couple weeks ago, I was switching from a AOSP ROM to a TW ROM and I got the same error. Thinking it was TWRP, I hooked my phone up to my computer and flashed CWM. I then tried to flash the ROM in CWM and it was a no go. I still got the same error. I just decided to transfer all my data from my internal sd to my computer. I used Odin to flash the stock tar file. After that, I used QBKing77's method to root from recovery. Then I flashed my ROM and I got 0 errors. So all I had to do was start fresh haha. It took a bit of time because I was taking many precautions (as should you) Good luck!

Yes just as posted above, but before going the route of Odin back to stock. Copy all your files (important) from internal and external to your computer. Then boot into recovery no need to change now and reformat your internal and external storage, wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions and reboot. Then download a fresh zip of a rom to flash and test it. If it all works then go through your files and move back what you need. I'm pretty sure you have a bunch of O folders in your internal.

Hey guys, I've been having this issue for a while now, but I've been deathly busy the last couple months so I haven't posted about it!
My issue is this: I've been having issues with the phone randomly freezing which results in the phone soft-resetting itself. I also have issues with apps randomly crashing. Occasionally, I will turn off the screen and when I try to turn it back on, it won't work and the phone will soft-reset. Another interesting thing I've noticed is that when I'm listening to music (stored on the SD card), sometimes I'll get distorted sound for a while. Usually, it fixes itself, but occasionally this leads to the phone soft-resetting. In general, since these symptoms started showing up, I've been dealing with stuttering and lag on my phone
Is there a possibility that my microSD card went bad? (could that even cause this kind of problem?) My card is kind of old, but I don't have any spare microSD cards to test
I'm currently using STS Rom on MK4, but this problem happened before I flashed that ROM. Before that, I was using Whompasaurus 4.2 (MA7)
Please let me know if you need me to do something to my phone!
Thanks in advance! I appreciate it

I have the same problem. A d about your quesrion if the sdcard can be causing this freezing. The answer is yes. Try formatting both Internal and external memory. Put all your data to your comp and then format and see if that work's. I havent done it because my comp wont turn on :/.
Hopefully it helps

Yes it sucks. It is what it is :/. Alright sounds good!!
so, a quick update. Unfortunately, after wiping everything, I'm still having issues, but it doesn't seem as bad. It might be a wonky flash though, so when I get some more time next week, I'll try flashing again.
I do have to get a new SD card for sure though. When I use that SD versus a backup one that I have, I get more crashes.
I had the same issues. Noticed it was happening whenever my signal was low - Wifi or mobile radios. It would just freeze for minutes at a time or soft reset. I couldn't get anything done! I ended up flashing different custom recoveries and wiping partitions and formatting system, data, cache, all storage, carrier and efs (after backups of course) I flashed the StockMC2 zip with flash counter reset and it seems my problem worked itself out. I thought it was a hardware issue for sure, but that seemed to get it working again. Even fixed my laggy home key issue.
I recommend being extremely-and-dangerously careful if you find you want to venture towards the efs or carrier partition meddling. Read up to the fullest and make sure you use backups.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try it sometime and report back
To isolate the SD card issue try storing all your files to the internal and see how that goes first? If the problems persist then it could be the card?
When I ran Whomp it was very smooth, fast and stable (on multiple Note 2's). Could be a bad download? After clearing up the card issue I would recommend odin back to stock and start fresh again to see if the issues get fixed.

Thanks for the reply,
I tried switching SD cards and I still had the issue, so I figure it's not the SD card. I had Whomp before, but I've tried a few different ROMs since then and I've had the issue with every rom, unfortunately
Have you tried ODIN back to a stock firmware and re-root? Since I flash a lot of roms too I normally (as a habbit) flash back to a completely stock firmware just to get misc files/junk/bugs/slowness if any, off my phone and this normally helps with whatever issue I was running in to. Hope this helps?
Sorry for the late response. Just a couple days ago I ODIN'ed back to stock, but unfortunately, the problem is still there

Is it possible a logcat would help? If I remember right, it's difficult to grab a logcat for sudden and random restarts, right?
Regardless, taking a look at a logcat app, it seems I do get a decent number of errors. I'll look into this a bit more when I get some more time after my current set of exams

Soooooo interesting thing that I found out. My data folder isn't actually being wiped in all this! I went to check it out and it turns out some app files in /data/data/ are still there even after ODIN, full wipes, etc.

Not to doubt your intelligence but merely just to make sure, which one-click version did you end up getting, because there are two (2) versions ... full restore and NoData restore Rooted and unrooted, I believe MK4 hasn't have rooted version and only full restore.
Have you tried a factory reset after one-click that should wipe it.
I used the MC2 full restore unrooted without any problems.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Well, with the stuff that you linked, I used the MA7 full restore rooted. (Maybe I should try the MC2 full restore unrooted) But I've also ODIN'ed stock MC2 as well. I've wiped using factory reset from the settings menu as well as through Philz and TWRP making sure system and data were both selected. I wanted to avoid knox for now, so I used older versions.

Now come to think of it I might have actually done a format /system, format /cache, format /data and format /data and /data/media in philz under Mounts and Storage and rebooted into download mode and did the one-click MC2 Full Restore after that.
just make sure not to format the ext. SD card.
Give that a try.

That is the best way to go about this. Stick with the stock unrooted MC2 with flash count reset via Odin. You can then use The Note 2 ToolKit to root etc. I'm thinking if your bootloader was updated via the MK4 with Knox, you should try to downgrade it back to the MC2 version. toolkit allows you to flash the older bootloaders.
Do this:
FIRST flash Phil's recovery version 6.07.9.
Then wipe everything except external sdcard. Next flash the stock unrooted MC2 with flash count reset
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769
Once you complete that, immediately do a rom restore from settings and verify you are on the MC2 modem and kernel.
Then use the Note 2 toolkit from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957155
At this point you need to flash the ALL IN ONE boot image, root &,recovery. I use the older version 2.0 of the ToolKit because it works best for my phone.
Once your rooted, etc. then reboot your phone into recovery and flash AGAIN Phil's recovery version 6.07.9
Then reboot recovery and once in Phil's recovery do all the wipes again and then flash the ROM of your choice.
You will also need to flash the correct modem for the ROM you flash. If you flash a JellyBean/MK4 ROM, you need to flash the MK4 modem. ROMS will have the kernel built in but if your flashing a TW ROM double check the kernel date and it doesn't hurt to reflash the stock MC2 or MK4 kernel because I have flashed a few stock TW ROMS that did not update the kernel so double check your kernel in settings-about phone.
This should get you back on track.
