Cant get this rom to boot

Looking for some help cant get this rom to boot tried every recovery i could get my hands on did full wipes my phone keeps getting stuck on the boot screen ive try to let it boot for nearly a hour and nothing.. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vu84:
are you on the latest twrp?? its 2.7.0.1 or something like that. format data where you have to enter "yes" then do advance wipe check all except external data and usb whatever. make sure the rom is on the sdcard. wipe twice and try to install again. make sure there is no error. also what are you on pior to flash. 4.1.2? 4.3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Also reboot recovery after formatting everything and before flashing rom. When internal sd is formatted it needs a reboot.

Has anyone addressed the Voice Dialer issue? When using a headset if the screen is off or locked (swipe, pattern, doesn't matter) the old crappy Voice Dialer comes up when you hit the call button. If the screen is on and unlocked Google Voice Search comes up. How can I get rid of the old Voice Dialer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Try going to phone>settings>Answering and ending calls>uncheck "Using voice commands"

Try it and let me know..

You are on R3Ds build right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
Nope, that didn't do it. Still getting the old Voice Dialer.

And I am on the debloated that was updated on 6/2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] synapsesboob:
Can anyone tell me if they've used the "Extra volume boost" while on speaker mode during a call? Mine will toggle on but does not increase the volume. Wondering if I'm an isolated issue or someone else is experiencing this as well?

I'm on 1.8 R3D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
On the 6/2 debloated, what's the deal with S-Voice? It works if I manually execute it, but there's no way to make it default over the Voice Dialer. Come to think of it, there's no way to change the default bluetooth call button launcher...I really need some solution to this one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pmsrefugee:
L18 question. I see your name on just about every rom. A lot seem very familiar so I'm not sure which is the latest version. Which rom is the rom you are actively developing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
His main rom is N3bula, which I'm sure is going through the rewrite to upgrade it to 4.4.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icedventimocha:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
That's pretty...Ooooohhhh..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
The N7105XXUFND3 port is pretty much a stock deviated ROM..and it's complete.. R3DS ROM is developed by [MENTION=2564710]fkfmfz[/MENTION]..not me.. although we toss ideas back and forth. DN3 is developed by them, E Team, so when they update I will update my port..N3BULA is the ROM that I have my focus on.. it's in the works.. just a lot of moving parts to bring over to 4.4.2..;)

My name is not on everything.. we just all help each other.. makes development faster..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Holo please.. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] N3Ph1L1M:
Hey I'm on the sprint variant but I wanted to drop a thanks down your dev for great work b say thanks for one of our devs port it. Most exciting rom I've had in a minute so again danke'
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
I still need something on the voice dialer. I have checked everywhere and there is no apk for the old voice dialer anywhere. How do I get rid of this stupid thing? It doesn't work 90% of the time and I would prefer to use either S-Voice or Google Voice Search.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
You can download an older rom and pull it out of there. I think Google Voice is Voice.apk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
You miss understand. I want to get rid of the old voice dialer. The thing comes up everytime I use my bluetooth button while the screen is off. There is no apk for the old voice dialer in my system yet it persists in coming up. If the screen is on and unlocked, Google Voice Search comes up no problem. I've tried everything I can find on this issue, but ever guide says to freeze VoiceDialer.apk, but it doesn't exist! I'm going insane trying to get this to work! There is no way to change the default option for bluetooth either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
You're right, sorry misunderstood there. It has to be built into the launcher/lockscreen somehow. Wondering if Google Voice Search is packed with something else now (Google + or something)

Are you by chance using R3D's? I think he throws some apps in system\priv-app as well. Not sure if that's where it's at, but I remember seeing some in there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
That's what I was thinking, but if that's the case how are we suppose to change it and what idiot thought it was a good idea?

EDIT: Not part of the launcher. I just installed Go Launcher to check and sadly no, the voice dialer still comes up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Can you post a screen shot of what your talking about so I can look into this..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
I would except that's something else that doesn't seem to work anymore, screen capture. It looks like this only in english and it says "Say Call Followed By A Name Or A Number". Say whatever you want, but the stupid thing doesn't understand you 90% of the time.

EDIT: Figured out the screenshot. It is working, just a different hot key setup than I'm use to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I think you need to do clean install bro.. Never had an issue with screen capture..Home and Power buttons
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
I have done a clean install three times already. I even FORMATTED /data the last time to ensure that nothing was left of any old ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Not sure what to tell you then.. I don't think anyone else has had a issue with screenshots..

Wish I could help you out..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
Looks like Google+
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
I figured out the screenshots. I was using the wrong keys. In one of my other ROMs is was volume down and power. With TouchWiz it's home key and power. I'm more concerned with the voice dialer issue and the inability to change the bluetooth default.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

Nope, froze Google+ and it still comes up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
I used to use Bluetooth Launch to control what I was launching with buttons. Not sure if it still works on KitKat though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
I tried it already. Unfortunately there is no way to change the default launch app anymore so you can't switch to anything, much less Bluetooth Launch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
There is a Google search apk, and a voice search apk from Google. I think you make be talking about the old one which I think is voice search. Just locate it in system apps, and freeze it, or delete.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
I froze google search 3.4.16.... and google search 1.0 and it now launches svoice from screen off. But I thought he had killed these already...misunderstood I guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
Does not exist. I cannot figure out where this voice dialer is coming from otherwise I would freeze it.

is there tethering on this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrownla:
Hmmmmm I have been having a nightmare of a time with my Bluetooth connection. I read through the posts to see if any suggestions were made already but I didn't see anything. Connecting to my truck doesn't work. It stays connected for a few seconds and keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. Connecting to my Galaxy Gear is the same. Connecting to my Motorola headphones sticks but the connection is very weak.

Any suggestions?

Later ... So a wipe or two, then a factory reset from recovery, and a few cache wipes fixed eeerrrrverrythaaang. I wiped it down before installing but not after ... my bad. Bluetooth is going very strong, no disconnects after deep sleep. All good! So easy. Hope this helps someone else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:

On the rom with S5 features. Am I missing something on how to activate ultra power saving mode? I turned it on, but it doesn't do anything. Other than that, awesome rom already my favorite. Sorry if my problem was already covered. I tried searching the thread, but couldn't find it.

Ironically, I picked another one off craigslist today... didnt realize until i got home that it has the 4.3 OTA installed and what that means...

soft brick

I am fully confident that most soft bricks can be fixed. I had this happen twice, and the first time it took me a LONG time to get it figured out just right. However, if you follow this guide, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024207 with *for me I had to get all the files I needed, turn off wifi on computer, disable internet, disable antivirus, disable spyware scanner, uninstall samsung drivers, reboot computer, make sure all those 3 remain disabled, then install newest samsung driver, follow guide,

I think something in my virus or malwayre software hated what I was doing here. so if you haven't tried these, I suggest trying. It sucks because you have to reboot 3 or 4 times, uninstall samsung drivers, reboot, install drivers, reboot, all the while making sure antivirus and malwares aren't trying to re enable, and wifi is off. hope that makes sense and maybe helps. good luck Don't give up! *well I wouldn't*

mine was 4.1.2 originally so that is what I needed to put onto it. I recommend odin v 3.07. Official VRAMC3 4.1.2 5/5/13- https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46n...Rzg/edit?pli=1

SCH-I605_16gb.Pit- http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?05cj895zu3tls7z

However, If your device is stuck in a bootloop, power the device off, press and hold the volume up/home/power buttons until the samsung logo appears. The device will boot into recovery and from there you will need to wipe data/factory reset, then reboot.

this happened to me both times......

is that what you already tried?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icedventimocha:
Okay where to begin. First of all, talk smack when you can do better. Second of all they created the first "Stock" build from a system dump. That means they did the best with what they had. System dump means no radio and no kernel, so I think they did okay with what they had. Third they didn't have to put in countless hours to do it at all. Fourth, stock sucks from them but yet everyone swept it under the rug when beans released not 1 but 2 botched stock roms. When you have something to actually contribute and know what you're talking about please by all means come back and then maybe someone will value your opinions.

Loving the rom. Cant wait until one is out based on the new verizon base as gps never has worked for me on any international based roms. AOSP is fine for gps, though no go on international base. Keep up the great work. (And yes ove tried every trick in the book)

I have been running R3D v 1.8 which as been flawless for me, everything works and has worked since I flashed weeks ago. So I am paranoid about changing but I do want to know if the s5 features will be included in the Verizon OTA, since I just received it last night on my work phone. It's not very impressive as stock KIt Kat from Verizon so you guys will have to give it life.

The phone still reboots when powered off and hooked up to a charger.. Not sure if that is something they changed in KK

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
I can confirm Wi-Fi Direct works, but mirroring the display does not. The phone shows the WiFi Direct icon in the status bar when it's connecting and the TV shows a connection in progress, but then the phone freezes and I have to do a battery pull. Same exact thing with the DN3 rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I ported this over to sprint note 2 and when powered off it would boot once charger was connected. We just got the tar from sprint yesterday so I reported using it and it is now fixed.

Give me a couple mins and I will link you to what I have used to solve this issue on our sprint devices. Hopefully it will help out here as well.

I found a efs to zip here on XDA.... flashed through Odin which fixed the cannot mount /efs error. My IMEI matches my sticker on the back of the phone too...

The link for the stock rom on G-drive from above is dead

I flashed root66_VZW_stock_system.tar (also from XDA) and i have a bootable rom (4.1.1). With that ROM, I have superSU and root (I d/l'ed root check and it passed). I dont have a custom recovery though (I now have stock tho)

I cant flash Philz through Odin (Errors out). I tried CWM through Rom Manager (Play store) - it installs but trips the Verizon "You have unauthorized software..." warning. Goo.im is really screwed up for me for downloading files for some reason..

I've also tried Casual and Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root... both error out through Odin.

Any ideas on how to flash a custom recovery?

I'm going to try a MC3 stock ROM next through Odin. I'll clean this up with links in case any one else gets this stuck... Thanks again for all the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
How come you don't flash twrp 2701 zip in normal recovery? That is how I installed my first customs recovery...

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

Also you don't have to follow a link to find old original Rom, Samsung has them I've downloaded mine from them, just read carefully to get the right one because they have all international etc versions. I'm glad you're at last having some luck.

I actually had this problem when I installed the ditto note port, the first time. Boot loop nothing would work installed failed, restore backup failed etc. Scared me for a minute.

I simply pulled my sd card booted recovery, clicked wipe, format, type yes, reboot recovery, then my nandroid restored once I remembered to put the sd back in lol. Not that it matters at this point your way beyond that now :)

I re flashed the root66 4.1.1 rom again... went into stock recovery and flashed Twrp 2.7.0.1 zip.... now when i boot i get stuck at a flashing galaxy note 2 logo. I lost stock recovery (again) and now phone not recognize d in odin... even better my Knox flags are now tripped (after all I've done with this phone NOW it trips)

I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry.... probably laugh :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
Hmmmm. And wow. You must have Some sort of hardware fail. it makes no sense. You check the md5 on everything of course? Was yours 4.1.1 originally or 4.1.2? If Samsung sites do not work is your firewall, antivirus, or spyware screwing things up for you?

I had to re-install drivers on PC and was able to Odin back to the root66-4.1.1 modded stock rom. I have root but no custom recovery. I created a new thread since this is not ROM related - thanks everyone for the help with this challenge.
