[Q] note 2 internal memory problem - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all, just rooted my note 2 last few day and last night try to flash a recovery to flash a custom rom. when in recovery i accidentally press on format data in "mount and storage" then i flash my rom, it can boot into the rom but the problem is my note 2 no more internal memory, i think this is because after i press on format data and then changed the internal memory format or what, can anyone help me for this case?
p/s i still can use the phone as normal just like make a call or sms but cannot download any apps and if i reboot the phone then i have to keep in my information again, sound like totally no memory storage in it, can you help me? thank you

Did you wait for the formatting to be done or you stopped in the middle of it?

try connecting your device to computer and check whether you're able to access the phone's storage. If not, then try formatting it again using stock recovery.

If you want to return the phone to a stock Samsung ROM, download the latest stock ROM for your phone from sammobile.com or updato.com and flash the ROM using Odin. After flashing with Odin, boot into recovery and perform a factory reset. Note that performing this task will wipe all data from the phone and should be done after backing up all required data to another computer.

Urgen help needed, black screen on flash

Hello, I would really appreciate urgent help, I can't use my phone...
Anyways, I was flashing Criskelo, was on 4.1.2 rooted. Flashed latest recovery, all ok, erased cahce, dalvik, factory reset all ok, rebooted in recovery, flash zip, aroma started, everything went well EXCEPT that when it rebooted - it just shows samsung galaxy noteII N7100 and NOTHING, screen remains black.
What should I do? Please don't post to restore via clockwork I only have Titanium backup
Thanx!!!!!!
looks like a bootloop i think
have you tried a wipe data/factory reset from recovery?
happened to me once, it worked for me
I tried wiping again and installing but now when AROMA starts and I select components I wish to install, and press NEXT, it just freezes....
Tried Note II, Note III, no matter what I select it freezes....
Tried taking out SD card, still no go

I can't flash AROMA ROM with Odin?
Which ROM should I flash, sammobile is down!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558709
there you have stock roms
if flashing with odin doesn't work, , try and flash a stock rom with a pit, and if neither of those work...well i dont know
when i got a bootloop (if this is a bootloop) on my old s2, flashing stock+pit brought the phone back to life
good luck
Thanx, downloading now... But, should I let it boot? Will this set the KNOX, if I flash it?
I have EFS backup, if that matters
download a 4.1.2 rom, so that way you won't have to worry about knox
and knox, doesn't mess with the efs folder, what it does, is voiding your warranty, and a rom with knox, won't let you downgrade to a 4.1.2 rom for example, at least for the moment

Hmm, luckily I have a copy of N7100XXDME6_N7100DBTDME2_N7100XXDME4, will try that...
Could this problem be because of low disk space on internal storage? This is the only thing that comes to mind... I had like 2Gb free, and copied ROM which was like 1.4Gb....
OK managed to restore N7100XXDME6_N7100DBTDME2_N7100XXDME4, but still the question is why is Aroma failing?
Could it be internal disk space?

i've installed roms with only 200mb of free space
so i don't think that that's your problem
as long as you did the wipes that Criskelo requieres, there's no problem with the space i think

Help with Installing CleanROM.

Hi, I will have my hands on this tablet very soon and want to use the Cleanrom that is listed in a thread here. This will be my first time doing this and have been searching around for a guide. I have read a few bits and pieces but would like someone to explain in a few steps so i can get this right the first time.
I found a guide to Root it at rootgalaxynote.com but would like to understand how to install the CleanROM.
Hello,
You have to install TWRP Recovery first, then you need to copy Rom.zip to storage and then flash it using Recovery, dont forget about Wipe.

I havent installed anything yet as i will be receiving it for christmas. Not 100% sure on process so was posting here hoping someone could explain the process a bit more in laymans terms as this will be the first time i will be doing this. i understand you have to root the device so you can change the ROM, wasnt sure on what to do after that.

All you need is to Install Custom Recovery to change ROM, that will allow you to do anything you want with your device (such as System Backup/Restore, installing .zip packages, and etc.) read thread about TWRP so you can find everything you need to know.
But notice the fact you'll lose your warranty installing custom roms, as I know there is no way to change warranty bit back to 0 yet.
All information you need to know about Custom Roms is already there.

Build says CleanRom 1.0 but all apps are still present
My build says CleanRom 1.0 but I still have all of the apps that others say are removed such as Sketchbook. My note was rooted using the AutoRoot file with Odin and then the stock recovery was flashed. I then used the twrp 3.0 file and booted into recovery. I then installed CleanRom (without reset per instructions) and the device rebooted and everything worked except all of the apps were still there. I then tried to re-flash CleanRom and perform the wipe but I then got stuck on the Samsung splash screen to no avail. I booted into recovery and tried re-flashing the CleanRom zip to no avail. All I could do to get this thing booted was to flash the auto-root file again in Odin, re-flash twrp, and install cleanrom again from the recovery but all of the apps are still there. Before I did any of this I had a bunch of the bloatware either frozen or uninstalled in Titanium but now some of those apps show lines through them in TBP. Either way, my device is showing CleanRom 1.0 under the build but I really don't think it is... any ideas on how to fix this?
Hi i'm a newbie on android
i've tried to install this rom a lot of time but unsuccessfully at any time
i've tried all the solutions i found here but none were successfull
i am under TWRP 2.6.3.0
my tablet is rooted but after the rom flash ,when i reboot ,just after the "galaxy note edition 2014" logo there's a black screen
the only way to repair is to flash with the mk1 stock rom after or to restore my old version saved with TWRP
can someone help ?
thanks

Before flashing your rom perform a factory reset in twrp and format /data. All your apps will be deleted and you should be fine if you are stuck on the samsung boot logo it might help to boot into recovery and format /cache and dalvik cache

So, I did the factory reset in twrp and then formatted the data. Naturally, everything was lost but when I went to install CleanRom it was no longer on the internal memory due to the format... but I did copy it to the Ext SD Card. MY problem is that twrp won't install the zip from the sd card. Each time it says its unable to mount "/data" even though I'm going into "advanced settings" and placing the check mark. I re-flashed twrp and tried using file manager to move the file to the internal storage but came up with the same problem. Also, I can't place the check on mount data for some reason. Now, my tablet starts to boot up but hangs on the samsung screen before the boot animation. Basically, its like there isn't any firmware on it and I tried re-doing the auto-root and stock recovery but thats a no go as well. Is this thing toasted?

Boot into TWRP and click "Restore Back Up" (Cannot remember exact verbiage) . Find where it says internal storage and press it and it will switch to a drop down and you can choose "External SD" Then go back and and it should be going to External SD instead of internal SD when you select install
Make sure you factory re-set. For safety, I advance wipe but I don't think that is necessary.
You may need to re-flash recovery if you're unable to access it.

Your device is not toasted I always have the Rom zip on the root directory of the device so formatting /data will not affect the rom zip. If you cant get it working then you might need to flash a firmware via odin and after that copy the rom on the internal root directory. Resetting your device should not format the whole internal storage so you can install the rom afterwards. Good luck mate

After the holiday (and many stressful attempts) I was finally able to re-boot the device and get past the splash screen. Opening Kies seemed to "kick" past the splash screen even though it said my device wasn't compatible with Kies. Anyway, I flashed the stock recovery, wiped, reset, flashed original firmware via Odin, flashed TWRP again, and then installed the CleanRom zip. Phew... it's FINALLY over with no issues and running smooth. I think the problem came in with TWRP not wiping correctly even though it said it did. I do appreciate all of the help and advice as you guys are life-savers!

When I installed with TWRP 2.6.3.3 & 2.6.3.1 I got the write permission denied and then I tried with 2.6.3.0 it got hung while installing CleanRom 1.5R2. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Thanks

Reboot loop [SOLVED]

So my sister recently bought a used phone running 4.1.2 and it started rebooting on its own for some reason or another. I am able to get into twrp 2.3.1.1 recovery and do a factory reset but the reboot loop problem still remains. I tried the other options in the wipe menu like wiping the internal storage but it says its unable to mount /data. Even in the Mount Menu i am unable to check the Mount data box.
I've also got the hurricane v4 rom downloaded but i am unable to install it for some reason. Is it because i am unable to mount the /data? Would a Format data work to install the hurricane rom? I've tried to download the 4.3 stock rom but not successful due to such a crappy internet connection. Luckily the hurricane v4 rom that i got from here supported the resume download function.

I also have note 2 with this strange reboot problem.
The OS doesn't matter at all for me (check that also).
If the problem will still remain, then I must say that it's a hardware malfunction.
Mine has it too, and does some random reboots at any time, specially when it has been used for longer time.

Go to mounts and storage and click on format/system, format/cache, format/preload , format/data and format/data and data/media (/sdcard)<--- this will format your internal storage,so back up if you have anything saved on it..NOTE: Do NOT format storage/sdcard1 cause this is your external sd card if you accidentally do format it you will lose all the contents on your sd card.If you still want to format your external sd card by this way make sure you have a card reader handy to be able to transfer the downloaded ROM and other contents on your sd card.
Now go back to main menu and click on advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache ,once again go back to main menu and click on wipe cache partition and go ahead and wipe it.At the very end go back to main menu and click on wipe data/factory reset and choose Clean to install a New ROM.Done.You have successfully performed all the wipes.Now you can go ahead and flash the ROM.

None of the modems worked. I've deleted the /system and /data and all the steps you gave me and restored back to 4.1.2 with twrp and the darnedest thing happened. no reboot loop, only thing is that there still is no service. The GCI screen shows up when booting (my cell phone service) . i was pretty sure the efs was checked when i backed it up a few days ago. I think i dun goofed on this one.
EDIT: Looking at the 4.1.2 backed up rom on my computer, there is a efs.ext4.win.md5 and a efs.ext4.win file on there.

So i finally got a premium link download on rapidgator and am downloading this stock rom atm. so its resumable (hooray!).
When done, i use the "PHONE" option in odin right? Im guessing installing the stock rom also re installs the stock recovery? Crossing my fingers (and toes lol) hoping this download finishes. If her phone doesnt work after all this i talked her into letting me buy it. It seems like a really nice phone. If she lets me buy it im thinking to get the Moga controller afterwards and installing some emulators and games, it'll be a nice little portable system.
SOLVED
Finally got the stock 4.3 download and installed and now the phone is working. Thanks everyone who contributed to help.

By the way, tags are usually put in front of a thread's title

I need a stock rom

So I was able to lean how to root my phone. The I decided I would load a custom rom that I got from one of the rom tools that was suggested here. I loaded it, it got stuck on the loading screen. So I tired to use philz to do a recover and it says there is nothing to recover. every stock rom I get on this form will not load. the only option I have is to load the zip file to my sd card and then try to load it from the sd card. so now what? right now im completely out of a phone

i was quite tired last night and wanted to put more info in the post here on what i did. So this custome Rom I cant remeber the name of it but it had to do with the little android dressed up as a viking, i got as a recommentdation from the applicatio cybermoid or something to that nature. So when it attempted to load the rom it when to the boot up screen and just sat there, So i figure I would do one of the clock work mods recoverys that I had on my sd card and it failed to load. So at one point Philz asked me if i wanted to wipe the current rom and replace it with a new one. So i said yes figring that I could load the stock rom and it said that loaded. So last night I stayed up and tried to load 3 different roms and they all failed to load. Im wondering an this point if there is anything that can be loaded. I do remeber at one point it came up with a screen that said oden mode and said voided warrenty. i dont have a warrenty so i disregarded that. I will try the rom that you have suggesst tonight, I really hope that I can get some type of ROM on there. Beacase right now it just goes to the galaxy note 2 screen and sticks there.
Is there a manual key sequence or command line that can be run for my skipsoft tool kit that i used to root it to automatically turn on the us debugging? Also remember seeing a message that states that the root was removed. I think in in a hot pile of dog poop and this point, Any other suggestion if that rom doesnt load???
Thanks

How do you check to see if the modem is wipped?? i know it cleared off both the sd and sd1
If you did just the rom might have it in there if not just download and flash it its just like flashing a rom and its ok if you wiped both just download the rom put it on your sd1 and flash it in recovery I use philz

Ok so drop the ROM on the SD card, obviously plug it in go to recovery mode via the volume up/home/power key then selected it SD card and it sould load automatically. This is going to sound stupid but the ROM has to be zipped on the SD and not unzipped correct? If I get a error meaage I will post it here. I will probley be doing this around 5 pm or 6 as I am at work at the moment.
Sorry to be such a newbie..lol rooting it was easy if and when I get back into it I will put the full name of the ROM that blew it up because I dont want to have anyone else to go through this.

Download the rom
Wipe everything but the sd1 and the modem
Flash the rom
And let it boot
And let me know what happens
did all that and it is just sitting on the Samsung galaxy note screen
so for this one http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...6-t0lteatt.zip it loaded it and then got suck on the main galaxy note 2 screen.
For http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...lteatt.zip.md5 it failed. Re Ran ]http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...6-t0lteatt.zip and worked but before I rebooted it it states at the top that the root is missing or broke. rebooted and still the same stuck on the samsung screen
Ok im goig to go with im screwed on this one as Ive been all over this form looking looking at how to fix this phone. the only thing I can get into is the philz and do a data reset/ wipe the dalvik cache and load the philz touch recovery then when I try to install any zips beyond that it fails so at this point I have no idea where I am going and if I am doing it properly. when trying to install the ODEN-UCUCNE 5 stock-no recovey zip it finds it, opens it and then fails.
so im pretty lost at this point either im not doing it right or the phone is bricked.. any other suggestion? I looks like im going to be buying a new phone

No do everything on the phone don't use Odin so in the recovery go to mounts and storage and
wipe the system, data, preload, cashe, boot, and sd card but not the sd1 (external sd) and reboot the recovery in power options and hit reboot recovery and hit no when it says something about supersu root process then when it reboots just hit install zip and find the rom you downloaded

ok so
1)factory data reset
2)wipe cache partition
3) go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache
4) then I went to the sd card and installed the zip you gave me, it says install from the sd completed press any key to continue
5) when to power options and hit reboot to recovery
then it asks me if I want to restore the recovery settings from the card or no - I said yes
then it asks me if I want to apply the root from /system/xbix/su- I said no
it rebooted back to philz touch
now what??? I assume install rom zip..
what is the correct ROM download that I should use... ive downloaded so many if you can point me to the right link that would be steller

Encrypted Internal Storage after flashing with TWRP CFW

Good Afternoon.
A question for you guys, every time i try to wipe my current rom and flash another custom rom, or an update to the current rom on my begonia (with cfw installed), my damn internal storage gets encrypted, so ive got no choice but to format it, or else i can't access it, which is a major pain...
Do you guys know of a way to prevent this??
I'm running twrp recovery with cfw support.
And am pretty sure i'm not f-ing up with the rom installation instructions...

Hi, If you setup the lockscreen on your ROM you will encrypt the internal storage and TWRP will ask you the password to decrypt it.
If u remove the lockscreen before entering recovery you won't have to decrypt the internal storage.
Thanks but some kind souls on discord helped me out, using a disable encryption zip fixed it.

Install this then format data.
Also if you flash a new ROM you'll have to install this again.

On second thought, just reflash the ROM. (without wiping data of course) it should fix it.

i have managed to turn on the phone. my internal storage isnt wiped. just the data. so i am setting up my accounts etc.
i can see tha tmy inernal storage that is used, is 215 gb. so my data is there. but they are not accessible. because they seem to be decryptewd from the module i guess.
is there any way i can get back my data so that i can back up, and then i can hard format the phone?
when i open the files appliucation, it doesnt even show my internal folders. nothing.
this is really strange

In TWRP, mount Data and using the in-built File Manager, check inside /data/media/0 (this is where your Internal Storage is located)
Is your password intact btw?
