Was on custom rom, flashed another and now bootloop. - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I'll keep it short. I was rooted, installed TWRP, running Simple Rom and was just feeling to flash erobot. Flashed it doing full wipes and then rebooted, cool. Got to the samsung logo and within a second back to the note 4 screen. Okay I said, maybe the file I downloaded was corrupted or I installed it wrong. Did it over again, this time trying a few variations in the aroma installer (not installing xposed) thought maybe that was the problem. Bam same issue.
No worries I still had the old simple rom on the sd card. Went back with the same install and what do you know, that rom is now in a bootloop as well. Tried flashing through odin but I always get a nand write failed to start or something like that. Tried 3 different usb ports and same issue.
Am I missing something? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

So you are using the Exynos model? Last I checked there is this OJ5 bootloader which can't be downgraded from!

Yes I'm on the exynos model. So what did I do wrong, I went from lollipop to a lollipop rom. I didn't go back to KK or anything. What do I have to do?

guys help me im having bootloop because i was trying to install the su suser .in my note 4 Note 4 N910C lolipop in tw recovery still boot loop? because i want to root it .send me a maasage thank you

Anyone?

Did you flash a kernel for your variant after flashing the ROM?

No but that is my next move today, had a feeling it might be the problem, I'll try it and report back.

Oj5 bl doesn't let the flash of older rom even lp 5.1.1 older then oj5 but erobot 12 and 13.4 are newest then oj5 so it must be something else like the supersu v2.65 have issues with some costum kernels try to flash v 2.45

Had the same problem, solved it by flashing cf auto root using ODIN.

can't you just flash the previous rom again??
Enter your recovery and flash your "old" rom

Help after 4.4.2 upgrade

I was running X Note on 4.3 and decided to upgrade to xnote 8 . I downloaded the official polish 4.4 firmware and followed the instructions and every thing seemed fine, I lost my TWRP recovery so i decided to reinstall my custom recovery. But now i have done that my phone is stuck in a boot loop. What have i done wrong?
I have tried the chain fire method and the Goomanager method but none are working?
My phone is up and running on stock 4.4.2 but i cant install any custom recoverys. What can i do?
Probably using the wrong version of custom recovery. Grab the latest CWM by chenglu (.06 ) or the newest TWRP and you should be OK
I have tried both of the latest Cwm and TWRP and even cf auto but it still won't root my phone

Hi mate
I flashed the the KK firmware from sammobile with the update boot loader ticked. Booted back into the stock rom fine but what ever method i use to flash a custom recovery just fails. When i tried the Goomanager method my phone boot loops and i have to re flash the phone again. I have tried both the latest versions of TWRP and CWM. Never had any problems like this before. When i 1st got the phone i did the chain fire method which takes less than 30 seconds but this also doesn't work know.
I took the phone back to carphone warehouse this morning and they have sent it off for repair. Hopefully ill get a note 3 back running 4.3 and ill wait for the official firmware:good:

[Q] Note 3 Cant flash cm11

Hello, I have a new note 3 n900tmobile. I love it but, i cant live with touchwiz, i am rooted with twrp... i tried to flash cwm.tar through the lovely odin. But with the 4.4 bootloader i have learned that changes are permanent and cwm just throws me through a bootloop. I also get a bootloop through twrp flashing cm11 plz help! I also cant flash to 4.3 due to the bootloader? i think thats why.
I also flashed phillz cwm and tried flashing same issue I thought it might change due to not flashing on twrp with some devices namely the optimus , I'm gonna see if the latest nightly will flash correctly. If not the release candidate.

Can't install CM11 on Dev VZ S5

I'm rooted and unlocked running custom ROM TW 4.4.4 with Koontz kernel using TWRP and for the life of me I can't get CM11 installed.
I'm using the KLTEVZW version and the recommended GAPPS. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

i would be sure to follow the instructions.. is there a aosp kernel you should use or do you use the stock tw kernel?
I'm using Koontz TW Kernel currently. But the CM zip file should contain the new CM Kernel. ?
I am getting this message when it fails, 'this package is for device KLTEVZW, this device is KLTE'. So I guess I'm flashing the wrong zip. But my phone is an Verizon S5 developer model.....confused?

which cm11 rom are you flashing? from verizon s5 original development section?
Yes, from Ablinoman887 and official cm 11, KLTEVZW. I did flash the KLTE version and it didn't fail but it bootlooped. However I did flash fusion 4.4.4 for KLTEVZW and its working great.
Try using the Version of TWRP from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794674
Bkuschel u rock. It work. Thanks man
A1Barrett- How did you flash this? ODIN v3.09 doesnt seem to like it, it just errors out after awhile.
Neodawg- I flashed using the TWRP that bkuschel recommended 2 posts up.

Right, but how did you flash it? With ODIN? or use TWRP to flash it? The link only provides a .img file and if I tar it ODIN wont flash it, not sure if I am doing something wrong with tarring it or if the img isnt setup to be flashed by ODIN.
Thanks, for your help

Hmm, suppose so, never really thought about it, I came from a Motorola phone last time and not a Dev device either, so this whole ODIN, unlocked thing is new to me. Either way *facepalm*....hahaha
So it looks like this is only working for the dev version of the verizon GS5? Or at least that's what this page says (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794674)

Downgrade G900H from Lollipop to Kitkat?

I seem to be having an issue with downgrading my S5 G900H Exynos to Kitkat from Lollipop BOAD. I've tried 4 different stock Kitkat firmwares from sammobile but all of them cause the phone to hang at the Samsung logo however I can flash back to stock lollipop BOAD and it works fine again.
ODIN gives me no errors when I try to flash kitkat or lollipop and infact both gives the "PASS!" mark what should I do?
I downgraded to KK from LP the other day, and ended up stuck at the Samsung logo too
Tried factory resetting, didn't work
The only thing that finally worked was flashing the same KK ROM again over the top of the one that got stuck at the Logo
Once I'd done that, it booted

You might need to flash the PIT file for your model S5, maybe the partitions are different between ROMs for that specific model
Be sure to get the exact PIT file though or you'll brick it
PIT file and KK ROM in ODIN at the same time, it will flash the PIT, then it will flash the ROM

You could flash a custom recovery like TWRP, but unless someone has made a flashable zip of the stock firmware for custom recovery it'll not work
You could flash a custom KitKat ROM from TWRP
The only method that works for mine is flashing CF Auto Root, to gain root, then using TWRP manager from Google Play to install TWRP Recovery
This will void your warranty though

Mine is similar to that too. I have to install CF Auto Root first and then install Flashify and then install TWRP via flashify img file to gain custom recovery
Might be worth flashing a custom KK ROM, then trying to flash stock over the top after 100% wiping everything & formatting from TWRP advanced wipe

No bother, Lollipop not your taste?
I went back to KK just to see what everyone was on about, lasted a couple hours and flashed back to LP, some people get great LP performance, some bad, for me LP is way better

Stupid question, but you did factory reset after upgrading to LP?
KK leaves behind rubbish files which cause battery drain, I got the same after first upgrade, but after a reset, it has been great since
Performance is definitely better with LP this end too, but you're not alone, the majority who upgraded say KK is way better atm

Thanks for your help mate
Good stuff, I was gonna suggest that exact ROM weirdly, I haven't tried it yet but heard good things about it

[Q] As a first timer on samsung what do i need to do ?

Hey guys i just bought this international exynos note 3 (N900) and i have some questions about it ;
1. I want to install all the roms kernels and mods i could find but in order to do that (I'm %100 stock btw) ,do i need to first unlock the device ( i dont know how i couldnt find it), then root it with CF- Auto root( my warranty is over so i dont need to think about KNOX i think??) Then use the dd method to flash a recovery and flash whatever i want. Am i right about the things i said on all above ? Is there an easier way to do it ?
2. Do KNOX ever prevents me from flashing things in ODIN if something gets triggered ?
3. If i am not right about the first question starting from %100 stock what do i need to do to get this baby rockin ? I'm thinking about flashing a stock lollipop rom with a custom kernel and root ofc. Any suggestions ?
4. Do we need to flash modems from odin ? Because when reading the AryaMods thread i saw something about updating the modem. I'm on 4.4.2 right now. Can we flash modems or even kernels from recovery ?
Thanks already!!

There is no much of roms to choose for this one. 9005 is most supported here.
Root using cf auto root.
Make back up of ta partion/imei.
Flash recovery with odin. Then flash roms in twrp (watch the ere about how to use twrp or YT).
flash stock roms using odin.
Can't i just flash recovery from odin then flash a custom rom after that without rooting ? Thanks!

If you are going to flash roms based on lollipop, update your phone to latest stock rom for your model using odin so you get latest bootloader.
Dude, you need root access to access system and write to it. Don't custom roms require root, if you take a look? (don't answer to this [emoji61] )
If you want that way, flash twrp with ? odin. Then flash supersu for your model using twrp. That way too you get root. Then flash roms after (read rom instructions).
Ask if all wondering. ?

No my question was; not rooting the device in the first place before flashing the recovery and the rom. The roms already comes with the root in it. So just to be clear first upgrade the base to lollipop from odin then flash a recovery and lastly flash a lollipop rom. Would this be your sequence when you just bought a new note 3 ?

Flash latest firmware then custom recovery then flash the custom rom of your choice. No need to root after flash official firmware but it's good to root first as you may want to backup efs before you start messing the phone. I backed up the efs for the past 1.5years but so far never need it.
