I had this problem with every ROM, when you load the boot animation to give his first vibration when you start to put your information, freezes and restarts. restarted like 5 times. download all the 4.3 Roms to the forum t989 but all feel the same.

I had a issue sorta like yours and I think had bad download of recovery I was using. I went through everything like you did and even used ODIN to back to stock reflashed and same problems. I switch versions of Recovery and retried and everything is smooth since.

I am on TWRP 2.6.1.0 as well.
I install the rom only no gapps or anything extra and let it boot and see what happens.
I know it may not be poss now but you could try taking out your ext-sd card and simm card and boot just from the internal drive.
I don't know that it would help but it can't hurt and it reduces variables.

Hey i have the exact same problem! idk what happened, it's fine on 4.1.2 but right when i update to 4.2.2, not even 4.3 it does the exact same thing! any devs have any ideas? idk if a logcat will help in this case
why not just use another recovery like cwm and see if it works with that one.

You need completely wipe everything in order to flash a 4.3 ROM for the first time some times.

try another board that had saved because it has the USB damaged. try to set you up for the 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 and also gave me freeze and reboot. and wipe everything very well. I can not be!. but a problem has to see. do not know if I can be my navigation buttons are damaged (broken wire). believe you can be what makes my phone restart?
I had this issue i just updated my twrp. Maybe you should download TWRP from a different source? Maybe the one you have is corrupted or something . IDK try everything.
this doesn't help any, just wanted to confirm the same issue. Anytime I flash ROM above 4.1.2 on this phone it crashes in some way. any custom ROM

I soft-bricked my galaxy and there's no way to fix it, help! Okay, this is a what happened, I installed a custom ROM which worked out perfectly well until one day all applications started force closing for apparently no reason so I reboot and got stuck in a boot loop. I can only access download mode, recovery is out of the question. I tried to flash back to stock with Odin and it "passed" but the screen was just blank. So, I removed the USB cable hoping it will work and it got stuck in another boot loop. I tried everything that I could have think of but nothing works. It seems that I'm not the only one and is common for Galaxy W devices. Please help!
Also, in the worst case how do I send it back to Samsung? I mean, I know how to but will they fix it?

did you full wipe before flashing stock rom?
what stock gaming rom, it is full recovery?
you may can try:
- flashing again cwm using odin,
- if succesfull, boot to cwm, format data and cache, except system
- try reboot normally.
- if failed, format everything, except your sdcard,
- flashing stock rom using odin, (better use stock rom provided for your country), use original stock rom, not modified rom ! with size more than 350mb, its contain recovery, baseand and everything you need. of course your cwm will be replaced after. you can flash again cwm after your phone boot normally.
good luck.

In reverting back to GB 2.3.6 from CM9, you should do format /system to be able to flash successfully. Try it.

Hi! yesterday I tried to get cyanogenmod to my Samsung galaxy W. Firstly I used this tutorial to root my phone View attachment 1899558

When I did the ''IV.

I can access the clockworkmod recovery.
I have tried to ''wipe the cache partition'', ''wipe data/factory reset'' and wipe ''dalvik cache'' but it doesn't seem to work.
What should I do, I don't want cyangenmod after this haha I just want to know if there is a way to get the phone working.
Any answers would be appreciated

Some wrong sequence there :
Forgets the steps as per attachment.
In assumption the CM9 ROM.zip is in your SD Card...
Boot to CWM
Locate the CM9 ROM using and remember the location i.e. External SD etc
Now under Advance...Format all folders clean (not the folder containing the CM9 ROM)
Wipe / Format / Cache etc = the usual
Wipe Dalvik
Fix Permission
Flash the CM9 then GAPPS
Reboot...:good:
No need to back-up once you have used CM9...you will never go back to GB
If you insist on back-up just move all your treasures in your PC 1st, best to format the SD Card then move the ROM.zip to it

Hi Guys,
I don't really know what happened to my Note 2. I'm just browsing photos then suddenly it froze and restarted but it is stuck at the FIRST boot screen:
Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-7100.
There's 2 boot screen right?
1.) The white text on black background, 'Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-7100"
2.) Then the animated Samsung logo.
I'm stuck at the first one.
I tried to access its recovery (press and hold - volume up button, home button, power button). It just boot again to screen 1.
I can only access, Odin mode ( press and hold - volume down button, home button, power button).
I tried to flash it using Odin with official samsung rom, but no good. it still boot and stuck at the first boot screen.
What should I do to have a recovery mode? I don't mind if it's official samsung or a custom one. :crying:
UPDATE:
After reading some threads and searching for the cause of the problem, well, that thing, i must say that "Reboot of Death" LOL! happened under normal use, stock, unrooted Note2s.

Thanks, Tried Stock Recovery... same result.
Go to download mode and flashed CWM first. After flashing CWM wipe dalvik, cache partition & then data reset. U will loose downloaded apps or sms & call logs.
Later flash a new firmware thru pc odin & the phone will start perfectly. Give a try. Hope it works for u. Its a risk but give a try.

i have the same problem, do you mind please provide the solution step by step? i'm very fresh in this thing.. thanks!! :crying:
I just had this issue an hour ago. The phone, however, has been acting up for the past month. Random freeze in normal use and esp when browsing the web. I always have to hard reset the phone and it has been working until an hour ago. It was a freeze so i thought oh this BS again, and hard reset the phone. Then, the phone would be only stuck in the white "Samsung" screen... My first priority is keep all the data, so I was wondering after flashing the CWM and wipe the cach and dalvik. Is it necessary to wipe data for this to work? I do not want to lose all the data. The only thing I ask for is to get into system somehow, get all the data i need onto the SD card, and i can do whatever to my phone afterwards...
I think i'm ****ed. In odin it says no PIT partition. I found a lot of others having this issue, and Doctor says that this is called SDS (sudden death syndrome) ... It is a bad day and **** my life.

Hello.. I have the exact same problem but what happened with my GALAXY NOTE 2 GT-N7100 that I was charging it while suddenly a some writings in french appeared on screen and I could only click on something was written down the screen and I guess it meant to reboot the phone, I unplugged it and pressed that thing down the screen and my phone automatically restarted and froze at the 1st logo screen ( the one with black background and white writings ) .. I plugged it to odin but every time I try 2 flash a custom firmware it fails and says ( re-partition failed ) in odin... Itook it to many ppl and no one could fix it, they told me that it's ( sudden death ) but I dont think so because I think that sudden death happens automatically and the phone doesn't start at all ( mine happened after clicking on that french thing and it's stuck on 1st logo screen ) and they told me that the boot files are damaged and I the only solution is to change the mother board which will cost me about (370 $ here in Syria ).. and I can't access recovery mode to wipe dalvik and cache.. can anyone help me please ? And I couldn't understand maheshhtc way to fix this.. please help me asap...
Please help me too... I'm sorry but trying to flash CWM, I'm getting a No PIT error.... and then it fails right there

I have to ask a preliminary question. What is your boot loader (is it the lastest (4.3))? If your bootloader IS not the latest then there are many ways to "start fresh" by flashing the Stock Rom in ODIN. Ill wait for your reply and guide you further.

Quite honestly I dont know how to check from the recovery but which version of stock were you on? 4.3? 4.1.2?
---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------
I also feel that you can wipe you data, internal data, system, cache and dalvik (which will delete everything) and then push the correct roms and gaaps thorough ABD so you wouldnt need to go back to stock

Alright... If we knew what version your on (for sure) then it would have been quite easy. What model phone do you have? i747 or i747m?

okay... I have an easy solution for you on how to get your phone back to working condition but thats only if you have the older boot loader. If you flash the stock rom and you have the updated boot loader (that comes with 4.3) your phone will hard brick. If your willing to take the risk I can guide you further.

There is a difference that could be seen when you are in download mode due to Knox on the 4.3 update. Upload a picture of your download mode and we can advise you from there.

Okay, from everything you've said here is the best solution that has the least percent of messing up.
Follow everything carefully and you should be good as new!
Boot into TWRP
Wipe DATA/FACTORY RESET
Wipe CACHE
Wipe DALVIK
Format SYSTEM
MOUNT your internal storage to the computer
***TAKE BACKUP OF PICTURES, ETC. from internal storage***
DELETE everything in the internal storage once you take backup, if needed
*** Based on your phone model and everything else I did most of the work and found the correct links, if you dont trust them search CM and 4.3 Gaaps and download them ***
COPY Stable rom to internal storage - here is cyanogenmod 10.2.1 stable for ATT i747: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/57775/cm-10.2.1-d2att.zip
COPY Gaaps zip to internal storage - here is PA gaaps 4.3: http://www.mediafire.com/download/n2a7nta3jrj1ltk/pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.3-20131024-signed.zip
UNMOUNT internal storage
Flash CM
Flash Gaaps
Clear CACHE
Clear DALVIK
Reboot! You should be good to go

I said internal storage cause then you can also clear it and delete any junk files left behind. Once again I am not too familiar with TWRP and if you are able to flash zips straight from external storage, thats also fine.
ALSO look at other person posting a few replies ahead of mine, He has a way to check if you have 4.3 or not. If you didn't have 4.3 then you can flash back to stock easily and start from there instead of flashing a CUSTOM rom.

Hello, I was flashing a couple roms last night and I decided after trying Paranoid Android Legacy and CarbonROM that I just wanted to do a clean wipe and go back to Cyanogenmod. Doing a full wipe has never been a problem for me except now in CWM I can't get root to stick, no matter what I do, and whenever I'm in recovery, I can't adb push or sideload anything to my device. I even tried installing drivers through Zadig to make a connection and that didn't work. Anyone know how I can get root to stick?

Use Philz Recovery. It is the best one out there. Even has an option to push root in Philz Settings.

Neither. Download the recovery that ends in ".zip" (there are three different files, another is .tar) then go into recovery and flash it. Then go to the "Reboot Recovery" option. And once it reboots you'll be in Philz Recovery.

But the problem is that I can't get anything pushed over to my phone while in recovery. Adb says it can't find my device, even though I have drivers installed for it.

I don't have that in my CWM. All I have is mount system, cache and data, and then format those along with data/media. I formatted everything, literally everything, all I have is recovery. Its never been an issue before though, so I dunno what the issue is.

At least you got Philz installed now just make backups ever so often....
Yeah, make at least one of backup so you don't get stuck in this situation again. Really, you should be making a backup before you flash anything, every time.

Sprint S3. 4.4.2.
So I screwed up installing a rom this morning, and ended up having to factory reset my phone. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but my authenticator for my accounts (namely my Google account) was on the phone. Again, normally, this wouldn't be an issue since I made a backup using the Philz backup/restore in the recovery. However, trying to restore the backup causes the phone to constantly act up with the error "the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working", along with any apps I (managed) to try and start. This doesn't stop unless I factory reset the phone.
I've done full resets, wipe clean for a new rom, tried restoring just basic /data folders and such. Nothing has worked so far. any ideas? Am I just screwed until Google recovers my account? Many thanks ahead of time.
PS. This started because I wanted to install a custom rom due to busybox not wanting to install correctly. Something about not being able to verify if everything it needed to install was on the phone. I was rooted and all that jazz, still didn't work. I don't even care about that right now. I just wanna get the phone working properly with the backup if possible.

Do a custom restore of /data only after you restore the full ROM. I'm guessing you tried to install a Lollipop ROM? As for busybox you need to wait for it to load everything and then press Smart Install.

That's the thing, the rom didn't complete the install. At least I don't think it did. Maybe it installed certain parts of itself that don't match up with the stock rom, so doing a full reset works, but doing a restore doesn't? I don't know. All I know is that the rom didn't work.

Go into Recovery. Restore Nandroid. Then go to Custom Restore. Uncheck everything but Data. Click on your Nandroid. Then click on the first data partition. Reboot. Profit.
Lollipop ROMs encrypt data whether they boot or not.

If not you'll need to wipe your internal SD. That's where the encryption takes place.

That didn't work. Process still kept crashing. I did manage to get into my account so I could change the phone number. this way, I should be able to remove the authenticator, or at least transfer it over to my phone again. Thanks for the help.
PS. It wasn't lollipop. Forgot to mention it. It was CyanogenMod 10 I was trying to install. Failed before it even started really. As well, how would this setup have worked if restoring and using the custom restore would have restored the same information? Just curious.

I'm not sure why it works, it was suggested to me by someone else, but did some reason it does. If you're not using Lollipop then it's irrelevant.
