Stuck on "Sansung Galaxy Note 2" screen

Hey, I am new to ROMs and stuff

I tried downloading this ROM on my note 2 SGH-I317M and it kept staying on the samsung note 2 logo screen. I tried reinstalling it 4 times, but still no luck and I did follow all the steps so I don't know wats the problem. Now I had to go back to stock ROM so please people who got it to work, help me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Which tom dn3beta2? Or dn3.1. Also what recovery? Dn3beta2 normally installs fine but you need to full wipe first
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattg1234567:
Just b4 installed update..actually while downloading update file lol I started experiencing USB storage needs formated or something error every so often...first time ever getting this what do I do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kab4:
thnx for reply

I am using DN3 v3.1.1 with TWRP recovery

What should I do?

I also don't really understand the MK5 kernel thing

Is that the problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Maybe try philz recovery ive been having the same problem it sticking at the Samsung screen but every time I have to get this rom to boot I have to flash back to 4.1.1 then flash 4.3 via odin on both then flash philz recovery via odin then it should boot if you don't hear a boot sound it didn't work so you don't have to wait

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

Idk y I have to flash to 4.1.1 but ive tried just flashing the 4.3 ota but for whatever reason it doesn't work unless I do the whole thing and seems like no one knows y lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] leebag:
Only problem I've found is i dont have multiple widgets on the the lock screen any more! Initially I had quick launch toggles google and camera on the lock screen, aswell as the quick launch icon for camera. Only way I could get rid of the toggles was removing them completely from settings. So question how maybe do i get multiple widget on lock screen option back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
What version of twrp are you using? Is it the latest version for your device?

MK5 is your modem. For system INFO get This app here and check your build INFO!

If your having problem installing the 3.1.1 4.3 Rom. Did ya wipe the phone completely#1?

And after you flashed the Rom and it didn't boot. Did ya reboot into recovery and flash it on top of what you just did? Cause that may help it boot. It's what I had to do when I first flashed 3.1 long time ago[emoji48]...

Your the honestly the only one that had to do all of that[emoji33][emoji32]. Don't understand why??? I'm wondering if the bootloader downgrade would help your issue. As your probably on the older 4.1.2 bootloader I think?

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

Did you turn this on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] leebag:
Of course, nothing happens
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Im on the mk6 bootloader I wish I was the other 4.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kab4:
Thnx for reply

I did wipe the phone completely, but I didn't try flashing the rom over the rom again. I also have the TWRP v2.6.3.1.

do i need to install MK5 first? Is there anything wrong in the photo that might be causing the problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
This is on 4.3 mk6 ill flash 4.1.1 and post this pic again and maybe you guys will find something wrong
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Hmmmm? You're on the 4.4.2 right?

After turning that on I get this»»»

Lol. There a thread in the general section that'll take you back to 4.1.1 so you can start over and downgrade the bootloader.

From that pic seems you took the ota update.. hopefully not. Especially with that bootloader #. Looks similar to the recent update that was released for Canada.

Meaning you've got Knox included. But everything is fine from the pic.

Your twrp recovery is kinda out dated. Find your version HERE»» http://goo.gl/323BHV

But yes if you would have just dirty flash the Rom it would have booted fine 4u.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] leebag:
No luck, yes 4.4.2 beta With the update zip just happened after the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
No Xposed modules installed either? Yeah strange in deed...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] leebag:
Strange, xposed yes nothing to drastic. And ive turned them off rebooted and still no luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kab4:
what do you mean by "you would have just dirty flash the Rom it would have booted fine 4u."? and i did take the ota update for Canada, is that a problem?

Is it possible to install DN3?

thnx again man
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Yeah you have practically the same modules installed. Did you pick S5 Ui and S5 build prop when flashing. Cuz it's look like you did. Not saying it's a problem was just asking.

(Dirty flash)= just fishing a Rom on top of a existing Rom on the phone already. Without wiping anything on the phone!

Yeah the ota means you'll have Knox included.

Yes you can install the Rom. If it stuck at the Sammy screen then reboot and flash it again no wiping nada...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] leebag:
Yes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kab4:
Should I wipe my stock Touchwiz that I currently have or should I install DN3 over TouchWiz?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tampaboy1984:
Update.zip for beta 2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
That might be your problem. You'll have to install the first option, S5, NOTE3 mix.

Your stock ota TW?? Or did you flash this already?

If you have this on your phone already and it didn't boot then yeah flash it again on top of what you have installed

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

It's in the Op, if your asking about it. Or read back some pages it's a post from [MENTION=1097804]sawdoctor[/MENTION] fyi.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:

After update my lockscreen has changed with the time weather and charging all right there together on the left side with no multiple widgets or pull down weather and calendar. Is this correct or is something wrong. Plus there is a Google and camera icon at the bottom along with the usual camera swipe icon on the bottom right
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] androidmonsta:
1) what recovery and version are you using?

2) did you wipe system, data, cache, dalvik and internal SD card before flashing?

3) did the flashing take some time or it finished in a few seconds?

4) what is the md5 of your downloaded zip?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
ya i looked at a thread and once your on mk6 you cant go back (yet) but its cool tho maybe one day someone will get it figured out but until ill just run stock but thanks for your help everyone!!!

Did you wipe cache and dalvik after flashing update zip?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
this is the only way i can get these new 4.4 roms to boot download the 4.1.1 firmware where ever you may get it from then flash via odin then download the latest 4.3 ota firmware then flash that in odin like you did for 4.1.1 and then flash philz recovery then do the i want to install a new rom then it should boot thats what ive always had to do and dont use twrp i can never get it to boot with twrp even with the newest one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] androidmonsta:
Picture speaks a thousand words.

1) try tapping on Shortcuts in settings > lockscreen. Change it to "custom". You should get a new setting option "Edit shortcuts"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
any time or anyway to try to flash this rom or any of the new 4.4 roms if theres no boot sound the rom isnt gonna boot up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :


I changed the keyguard.apk in the zip to help the people having screen wake up issues. The old one will put your lockscreen back the way it was. You can just take it from the original and push it and fix permission if you want. If not I'll make a zip on a couple of hours. Got to take kids school first
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] androidmonsta:
That's awful loads of stuff to do. I suggest troubleshooting with other options first.

Secondly, not all devices behave the same way even they are the same model. What may work for you might not work for the others. Vice versa. TWRP 2.7.0.2 worked flawlessly for me and that is why I see no need to upgrade to latest until something is broke.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

P.S. most of us here didn't have to go through all those to get the 4.4 roms to work. So it isn't the "only way" to get them to work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] frankieGom:
Clearly, otherwise the thread would never be that succesful and full of complaints!

I consider myself lucky as I've been dirty dancing around those ROMs with minimal misbehaviour (nothing I cannot handle or leave with):

Stock 4.1.2 -> Wanam Lite 4.1.2 -> Maw 4.3 -> DN3 4.4.2 (all dirty flash!)

and I say that's pretty good in my book! :good:

I think I got the 4.1.2 bootloader installed when I installed stock 4.1.2 over 4.1.1 (Odin flash), and have stayed there since I do not see a reason to upgrade (with Agni kernel handy) and don't feel too thrilled about Knox.

I've tried wiping everything as suggested but found out 1) that it did not make a big difference in performance or features and 2) there was too much hassle to get my phone back into working order (daily workhorse) and reverted back to a backup to proceed with dirty processes....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Eteam website or in the op hit the downloads button at the top of the thread. Not sure if it shows up on Tapatalk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Under downloads... keep hitting show.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] androidmonsta:
Good for you.

As said, different device behaves differently. I tried dirty flash from DN3 v3.2 and everything went nuts.

So definitely there is no 1 stop solution for the same issue.

Wiping is advised simply to eliminate issues that might arise from left over files from previous install as rom installs uses the "unzip" method. Meaning they overwrite files that already exist, creates files if the don't and existing files not in the zip but in the device is left alone. Some files when left alone might still cause trouble as they might be located in "startup" folders that will run at every boot.

Drama over! Keyguard.Zip worked for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] adam5150:
Thanks for the zip my friend
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] frankieGom:
I know, it's like overclocking and undervolting, depending on the actual chips on your phone... And I fully understand I've been lucky (but trying stuff that's not in the books is what I do for a living :silly: so I will always try the shortest route first :fingers-crossed:, then adjust as needed, can't help it :o

Let's just say that there are some general guidelines that work for most people. Unfortunately sample variation is not the only thing at play here and what you've done, what you've installed may impact the outcome too.

Yes, definitely. And it's nice to see it in writing from time to time. It may help people understand they need to find what works for them.

And actually I've recently started (this week) thinking it would be nice to have a tool that runs a smart diff between what's on your phone and what's in the zip to let you know what's left over once you're done so you can look it over and decide if it needs to go or stay. Then you might be able to go for dirty flash and attempt cleanup after after the fact if needed. One could even imagine such tool plugging into a knowledge base to help you decide what to cleanup upon reboot after flashing (or better still, in recovery right at flash time).

Any interested coder out there? I'd try but need to feed the kids first...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Hey [MENTION=1840999]Bajanman[/MENTION] or anyone else with some knowledge about f2fs.

I'm running the latest twrp for the t889 which is 2.7.2.0.

This version supports f2 file systems.

I'm running dn3 4.3 cause I haven't had time to test the latest update zip you guys just made to see if my ps3 controller will work.

Anyway when I try to restore a backup of my f2fs backup,it fails.

So my question is, you i317 users have twrp 2.7.2.2.

Does your recovery let you guys restore a backup made in f2fs format? If so, then I'll flash that recovery until twrp fixes the t889 version. I know it's not proper to flash that version but who cares right? Lol

Thanks in advance to anyone with some knowledge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I'll have a look this week at the bluetooth files in dn3beta2 this week and compare them with dn3 4.3 see if I can see anything. If your ps3 controller works on stock 4.4 then we should be able to fix it

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Thanks for looking into the bluetooth for me and the others that may have had similar experiences. .

You obviously haven't gave f2fs a go yet huh?

If you decide to one day. Try to make a backup and restore it after you convert cache, system, and data to f2fs.

I still want to know if the twrp 2.7.2.2 for i317 will restore a backup of f2fs formatted partitions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
[MENTION=4569607]psycho4us4[/MENTION]

I forgot you were on the older build for your ps3 controller. Lol

Anyway hold off on flashing the I317 twrp, because I did that a few days back. And was getting an error in recovery.

Something about to many files open, pull up fake jap kept popping up. But everything would flash and work that I did in there. But would have that error B4 the flash started.

But I was using AT&T twrp on Tmo. Cause I was being lazy using what I already had on my sd. I've since switched to the Tmo 2.7.2.0 and the error is gone after wiping the data partition. You'll have to type yes for it to run the wipe. After that re flashed the Rom Nooooooo more errors in recovery. Yaaaay[emoji15]

But it's funny you bring up the f2fs file system. Just woke up and was thinking on charging my file system on the Tmo to f2fs. But not sure if it's actually worth going thru the trouble ya know...

But I still may do it to test it out myself[emoji48][emoji39].
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Just reinstall the rom without wiping and it should boot up fine.

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

Dude twrp made it simple now.

I formatted system, cache, and data to f2fs then flashed the rom and bam that's it booted up and checked to make sure with this app

If you decide to give it a go.

Let me know if the i317 twrp 2.7.2.2 will backup and restore f2fs on the i317. Please and thanks in advance.

I think phone should be stock f2fs cause this shiz is snappy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Just from that last statement above^^^^ now I wanna test it for sure LOL...

Any help is greatly appreciated...

I'm running v4 Bata2 with the new update. I have the ATT variant (i317) and I'm on the mk6 boot loader and stock kernel

After I flashed the update for the first time I started to get a couple fc's. The other main thing I noticed was I also had two options for setting after the update. (This may have been addressed earlier stating that the install needed to be the note 2/S5 hybrid?) To that end, I wiped everything and flashed DN3 and selected the hybrid version. I then let it boot up and flashed the update. The only things I restored from TB where text messages. Since then I have noticed that my phone with go into lock mode but then not wake up, I have to do a battery pull, not every time but intermittently. This happened when I woke up this morning. I looked at my battery meter and saw something strange. (See attached) I am also getting fc's at in increasing rate now.

Has anyone else run into this problem? What might I try for a fix.

Thank you all in advance for you help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] androidmonsta:
My advice is to wipe and reflash the rom but not apply the update first. If there are no issues, then the culprit could be update.zip, though so far no one has complained about FC after updating.
