[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harroguk:
So I have progressed a little since yesterday...

I now tried multiple recoveries...

CWM-6.0.4.1-GT-N7105.zip
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-t0ltetwrp.zip
philz_touch_6.48.4-t0lte.zip

And the phone doesn't bootloop. The downside is that the phone doesn't finish booting.

According to the logs both ROMS seemed to go on cleanly (ROM + GApps)

On Handset running PhilZ Touch 6.48.4 (ClockworkMod v6.0.5.0)
