Okay, so after reading this entire thread since release of v5, I just wanted to post this:

What to do when experiencing bootloops

So, you flashed this ROM, had your fun and now you are stuck on the "Galaxy Note GT-N7000" screen, and nothing happens.

Did you follow the instructions found in the OP TO THE LETTER when you installed the ROM?

If NO: Wipe and reflash ROM according to instructions.

If YES: Read on.

Here is what you can try:

While stuck in bootloop, hold the POWER button for five to ten seconds. The device will reboot, and it might get out of bootloop. If it boots correctly, have fun. If not, try the next step.

Start the device in CWM then go to advanced - reboot recovery. Wait for recovery to reboot, then select advanced - reboot system. If this doesn't get you past bootloop, try the next step.

Pull out the battery for a few seconds. Put the battery back in and let the device boot. Try this a few times before trying the next step.

Start the device in CWM, and wipe Cache and Dalvik. Try to boot the device. If this didn't work, go ahead and try the next step.

Start the device in CWM and create a backup. Reboot recovery, then restore the backup. Nothing will be lost. After restore complete, reboot the device.

All of the above has been confirmed to work for some users in this thread. It might work for you, or it might not. At least you don't have to roam the thread searching for a solution if you found this post.

If none of the solutions did work for you after several tries, you might want to consider reflashing the ROM according to the instructions in the OP.

Some users are suggesting tinkering with partition sizes. I would strongly recommend not doing this, as this ROM is using the correct partition sizes according to Note requirements.

Also, just a friendly reminder for everyone trying this ROM:

This rom is an experimental leak. That means that it is provided without any warranty of any kind. Everyone flashing this ROM is doing so knowing that it might crash or worse.

If you experience problems, you can report them in this thread. If you need help, post your questions here, and you will get all the help you need (after you tried searching first, of course). If you have suggestions, post them! However, you do not have the right to complain about anything. Recommending another ROM in a developer thread is just impolite. Don't do it.

The developers needs our appreciation to continue sharing their work. They work in their spare time, for free. And everyone benefit from that.

The trolls whine and complains about everything. No one benefits from that.

This was just a friendly reminder :)

Joosh3: If you would be so kind to put a link to this post in OP, I will personally see to that this post is updated with every confirmed solution to the bootloops as soon as other solutions pops up in this thread.

anything about 240dpi?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Daruka:
I suggest that people do NOT restore apps using Titanium or other backup programs.

First Flash the ROM and check out all apps installed in the ROM.

then install each app you have from the play store.

For those with bootloops . try that .

Bootloops

I know its a touchy subject... but if we don't get to the bottom of it then it will keep on going...

I've yet to experience a boot loop and am going to list applications that I have installed and use.

Firstly) I never use a backup tool

secondly) I find chrome to not load pages correctly and hang my device

Launcher: Next Launcher (Go developers) [I also don't freeze touchwiz]

Widgets: ClockQ, HD Widgets, flipboard, gMail, SMS widget, Remote for iTunes, google Drive

Apps: Dropbox, betterbattery stats, setCPU, sygic GPS, scanlife, ROMtoolbox pro (there are the google apps and a few camera tools but thats about it)

I don't get any APK's force closes, had almost 95 hours of uptime before i rebooted to do a review on some games.. Just did a 'proper' prep of my device as mentioned in my video in the OP (like i always do) and it works for me..

If someone is having bootloops post what apps you are using and if you use a backup tool or freeze some apps... then if there is a common culprit then we can solve it..

If not then i guess it is just a question of hardare... (seems strange if that is the cas)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jeriz:
and if you havent done so already. don't forget to backup /efs and store it somewhere safe
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Your comment is invalid and i will post my proof why it is!

@Daruka: I have restored my applications WITHOUT data with titanium backup and never EVER EVER had a single bootloop!

@mithun46: Thanks for point this because i used it to optimize 5.1 even more and everything runs smoothly! :D

AFTER ALMOST TWO WEEKS USING 5.1 i can say:

This rom, even though it is a leak, it is stable enough for daily usage BUT just when you know what you do BECAUSE if you are a n00b and run into bootloops it's easier to blame the dev then try to fix them!

I NEVER EVER HAD A SINGLE FC in this rom BUT initially i have lag but now i was able to fix everything and the rom is running stable :D

Tools i used to fix the FC's i had (in applications... not the ROM):

FIX PERMISSIONS PRO BY STERICSSON! <- to fix UID's on the rom and UID's on the application because mainly the FC's come from a difference between UID on the ROM and UID'S in the application which leads to FC's and using this tool fixes the UID'S and avoids FC's AFTER forcing the application to stop and starting again all works at it should without lockups and lags :highfive:

[RC8] ULTIMATIC RC5! [EXE]-=Ultimate Jar Power Tools=-With Maximum MultiTasking Mods! to tweak services.jar so i can change minfrees, priorities and got the launcher locked in memory and avoid MEMORY LEAKS! :good: (

Didn't active Maximum Overdrive and Time Killer Killer

)

Used

[TOOL][AIO] StudioAndroid # Automize everything! [GUI]

to optimize every single APK from the rom and zipaligned them (some were faulty)!

and i got ONLY ONE issue with the rom it self:

NEED A CUSTOM KERNEL made from Jelly Bean sources so we can have a better memory management on the rom and do some Overclock/Underclock! (yes Tegrak works but it's not perfect...) and we need some io schedulers tweaked for better performance :fingers-crossed:

As you all can see even though i have not a professional developer i have learned a lot since i got my Galaxy S2 and learned to tweak a rom for better performance :D

And yes, the rom is fully stable for daily usage and mine runs smooth as a baby's butt! :eek::highfive::good::silly:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] waa2398:
Thank you very much for your work! While I do think this is one of the best ROM for our Galaxy Note, for some reason i get too many GAPPS FC and the weird thing is that is only with this ROM and Robbie's. Has anyone encounter this error and how did you fix it.

thank you all for the help.

battery not charging

Hello All,

I am facing a strange issue but something that has become a nuisance and made my Note unusable.

I was happily running Ultimate JB 4.1.2 v5.1 when I downloaded something related to green them of sysui( name not entirely sure)

from the OTA update section in ultimate ROM and installed throught CWM.

After the installation, suddenly I found that my battery is not charging.

I connected through wall charger and even tried chargin through USB from my laptop. Nothing worked.

I flashed again with V5.1, then V5 and even Rocket Rom V12 several times while clearing the battery stat as well.

Once it worked when the battery started showing as getting charged,

but then USB mass storage was not being shown when I connected the phone through USB to my laptop.

So I flashed again. Finally after several attempts of flashing different Roms (All JB ultimate V5 and 5.1 and RRV12),

my battery started to get charged.

And now, yet again, for no change made to my Note, I have this problem appearing all of a sudden.

Battery not charging and now it has discharged completely. It either goes into boot loop or doesnt start at all.

USB storage hasnt worked since the problem started with the battery charging.

I am not sure what the problem is, but very unlikely problem with ROM.

I flashed the ROMs properly, doing factory reset, clearing Dalvik case, formatting /system, /preload etc.

There is no problem with the charger cable, for the battery gets heated even when my phone is off, but I see no battery charging signs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Daruka:
Well, good for you, sonny..

My comment is invalid?

I have had NO FC's and all I did was make a suggestion.

ByeBye and dont bother replying to me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sp5mz:
I've been using this rom for a while now, and here are my findings:

- no bootloops for me

- no fc

- laggy lockscreen (ink effect)

- battery discharge very quickly, after 100% charge and using 25min whatsapp then standby for 2h --> battery percentage = 83%

Also, it discharges too quick in standby mode (all apps killed with task manager, -20% after approximately 7h, fully charged, only standby)

How to extend battery life, anyone an idea?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ovidiugr:
I think Joosh was about to add new things to OTA... did he change his mind?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DRDRoald:
Lets draw a starting line

This thread is becoming an battle ground with things unresolved.

FOR THOSE FEW having boot-loop the following may help you:

1. Flash you phone using PC ODIN using Dr. Ketan's Instruction, I advise you to use GB directly rootable

2. Root your device, and restart

3. Format your SD card, EMMC (make sure you have backup),

4. then put a safe kernel zip and this ROM in that SD card

5. Go to revovery and flash safe kernel (just to make sure), then go to advance then reboot to recovery again

6. @ recovey: follow the OP's instruction:

a. Factory Reset

b. go to advance, wipe dalvik, data, system, cache, and pre-load.

c. format emmc once again

7. Flash the ROM (Ultimate N7000)

8. Now try the ROM for at least a week WITHOUT ANY MODIFICATION, WITHOUT RESTORING YOUR BACKUP and install application NOT REQUIRING ROOT ACCESS, (that includes titanium backup). This is to rule out, that its ROM related and not ROM-app conflict.

If you follow these and still experience boot-loop, post what exactly did you do before, during and after the loops, then lets leave it to the wise guys here to imitate your scenario. And WAIT FOR THEIR REPLY, DONT COMPLAIN CAUSE YOU ARE NOT PAYING EVERY HOUR OF THEIR PRECIOUS WORK

OBSERVE ETHICAL CORRESPONDENCE, this is a board and everyone can read your post, be polite. :highfive:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] se1988:
Seriously?

Flash from this ROM to another ROM to fix a problem with flashing this ROM?

This may fix the problem, but it's tons of unnecessary plunder.

Why use hours on fixing a problem that can be resolved within minutes?

Take a look at this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35307456&postcount=2606
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DRDRoald:
1. because flashing with PC-ODIN assures that its Fresh installed with original samsung firmwares

2. and its a way-around if your tut wont be beneficial to some.

anyway it is just a recommendation/suggestion, so members: follow what suits you best. :highfive:

Correction: Its ROM - to FIRMWARE - to ROM
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] MinnesotaVikings1961:
I'm having problems installing the stock theme. Tried to flash it after I cleared cache and dalvik cache, and it has worked before. So what am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] saturax555:
DRDRoald proposes a kind of solution to have no more bootloop, ,but its procedure is always the same as others previously proposed, and a pain: formats, cleans, start from zero, reinstall everything fresh... pffff... a so long time for an issue not related to the rom but to this leak (i have been stuck on splash screen with other jb roms) and quite rare too. and no guarantee about the efficiency.

your procedure is not a solution to prevent from being stuck on spash screen, but a way to recover. it is a good sum up for every user, step by step, of the usual and obvious solutions, a few minutes and it works again.

personally, i had been at least 5 times stuck on splash screen with various roms, but only solution 5 worked for me:

Start the device in CWM and create a backup. Reboot recovery, then restore the backup. Nothing will be lost. After restore complete, reboot the device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] FireWall123:
I just do the same but without back up , just reboot recovery under advance after that reboot system , finally am back to work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Daruka:
there is ONE more solution that I used, and since then I have had no problems.,

FLASHED the ROM again without...repeat. WITHOUT any wipes!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] stumbleine:
I've found that the problem with battery is not due to this ROM.

In my case, I've disabled Google Now and since that, my battery is lasting just like before. With Google Now enabled I had to recharge after 7 o 8 hours. ;-(

I don't know if it will be the same for you, but it's woth a try.

Greetings!

how can i calibration the battery? i have to sit beside charger. anyone help.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ropeinspector:
Looks like it isn't related to Airplane mode. This morning, same game being online (in blocked mode however).

Yesterday, in same mode, it worked as expected. Kinda weird, unpredictable behavior so far.. :-/

No one else here with similar issues?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DRDRoald:
1. perhaps your correct this problem is a leak issue related (though I cannot ratify),

2. It might not be the direct obvious solution to bypass each bootloop, what I'm tying to suggest is that: the method I use to flash this ROM doesn't cause me any, at least at this very moment.

3. If what you say is true, then how come I am having hard time replicating the same issue everyone is complaining about? I tried pulling out the battery when the phone is on, pulling out the battery when the phone is booting, installing apps requiring root access (at least I don't recommend it for now) and no, no nothing, it just boot flawlessly.

I guess my method work. Its my 6th day now since I flash this ROM, that is at least for the second time flashing it. The first time when I went from a different ROM to JB Ultimate I had the same bootloop everyone is talking about and even hangged my recovery, so nothing I can do. So disappointed I was, I re-flash via PC odin back to original firmware and just as I stated.

If I may sum it up, if no one mind it, It seem everyone complaining here is from an ROM (not original firmware) before flashing this JB Ultimate ROM. I guess give it a try, if this doen't work, at least we can have the following conclusion:

1. this is an ROM/Leak issue

2. its not app-ROM related

3. that even though its Original Firmware to ROM flashing it will still cause bootloop (though I hardly disagree)

Im afraid that those who are bypassing bootloop using the recovery method will sooner or later will have bootloops again, my suggestion is to prevent that from actually happening from the very start.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] arinsms:
oh I thought there are something new going on..its actually people with bashing around with bootloop again....people, do clean install, format preload when installing ROM and u way to go. Certain app restore (using TB) can cause bootloop (that's happend to me).Its been a week now using this rom without craSHING into bootloop

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] RZ:
I had bootloops too,

Every time I installed an update I had the bootloop.

What did I do to prevent the bootloops.

Before installing an update :

1. Wipe Dalvik Cache

2. Wipe Cache

It worked for me over and over again.

Might as well close this thread. All questions are answered somewhere here. :laugh:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ovidiugr:
nope not yet. joosh said something about some new OTA additions. waiting 4 that
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Rayan:
Correct, and also can't be closed because it's a [ROM] thread, not a Questions and Answers thread... ;)

As long as there's still development, it should stay open!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] joosh3:
Saying: something is wrong with that BASE should be correct.

All those problems are too weird and sounds like bad flash or something.

I said 100x times there's no issues with ROM itself, as you can see also on my uptime, and if we call it "leaked" there must be a reason.

Also suggest to go to another ROM like CM10 is not polite since its supported by a lot of devs, im only one and im sharing this to all without asking for nothing.

Man, Im not 24/24 here, sorry for that :D

Give me the time :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Daruka:
Man, we appreciate what you do. I can say this ROM is working just fine and I think there are others who also think so.

The ones who keep asking the questions, don't seem to bother to read the OP or all the comments here.

I can understand why Eybee stopped and I wouldn't blame you if you did either.

When I read comments about people about some ''ink effect'' BS. I have to laugh.

Its so superficial .. IMHO.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hamdogg:
+ 1

I'm sitting on v5 for over a week.. no problems here.

My background in digital devices makes me think its not a basband or ROM issue as many of us have no issues..

However there are members that have much experience also that do have issues, so thats also strange...

I'm currently PM's a member through flashing a stock sammy ROM, then he'll flash v5 Ultimate. He was having issues, so will see if that fixes his issues. (its worked before)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Rayan:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jcord1:
Have been with 5.1 since first day it came out. Haven't had any issues. Battery drains too fast for my liking, but I can live with it.

Maybe all the problems are related to different chipsets of these phones? I'm on group But. Whatever that means...

Best Jellybean ROM !

I've been using Ultimate Jellybean ROM V5.1 From the past 5 days , and i found this rom very stable!

this rom has NO Issues , NO Force Closes , NO Battery Drain Issues, NO Random Reboots!

This ROM Is the Smoothest, fastest and the most efficient ROM i've ever tried, and believe me i've tried all jellybean based roms!

This rom is the BEST!

ROM Dev please don't stop future Development on this ROM!

WE NEED YOU!!!

THANKS A TON FOR YOUR HARDWORK !

I'M In Love With ULTIMATE JB ROM !!!

It comes after flashing anything, kernel, baseband etc.

But it always help to reboot recovery and then reboot system.

Then it boota up normal.

come on man, did i do something to u?

this is the result since today morning for me... since last night it was horrible and battery drained even while it was not being used and kept on desk..

Now too its draining while its not being used.. but now its atleast showing deep sleep, that means, battery drain still there but a little slower, but that slower battery drain as well is higher than normal. I've been on Ultimate rom since the day JB Leaked for Note so i notice this on v5.1 quite easily... previous versions werent draining battery the way its draining now.. also no setup changed from my side. No new apps added, infact before it worked with "EVERYTHING" on, like wlan, data, bluetooth(at times), all the syncs on with push notification.

..hope now i made it simple for you.. gosh
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ayong chia:
Have u tried voice wake-up command? Mine always get force close at that app, not important really but quill be better when everything run :)
