Just went through your issue.

Just 1 question :

Is your battery (even slightly) swollen in the middle ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] logosA:
you thought that too, e? This was my first thought yesterday

that started this battle, to help him finish the flash of the rom
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] smartidoos:
Yes ,,,,,,what can I say.............................GREAT
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] TempoRobo:
Ive checked the battery and it looks fine...not swollen at all

[MENTION=5740993]jer194[/MENTION] [MENTION=5554397]logosA[/MENTION] I tried the hard reboot but then it remains stuck at the screen with the green logo flashing .....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] droidsman:
Super user # sign is always there in status bar near alarm . Is there any way to remove it. ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jer194:
Hm ...

You are sure you have the N7100?

Did you try any of the other CM13 ROMs (like Ivan's)? Do they work?

Did you repartition or encrypt your phone before?

If nothing works, completely go back to latest stock/original state.

From there, follow steps how to flash custom ROMs.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] silentvisitor:
Put it on some shiny/smooth table top and try to rotate it. If it rotates its starting to degrade. Good battery doesn't rotate.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Just check whether there is any notification reg SuperSu by pulling down the status bar.If there is one,open the SuperSu and click OK the update binaries. If no notification in pull down,open /settings/status bar/show SuperSU icon and unchecked the box.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] logosA:
look there, this is from another rom but in this one is there too
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] logosA:
in three roms i have faced this bootloop problem of yours. Sometimes faced it after rebooting my phone to aply an installation (adaway or vaiper4abdroid etc) and sometimes when booting for the first time. Hard reset helped me all times to deel with it, the phone after that was able to boot again normally. the think is that your pnone never manage to boot once from the first flash. We all here have checked the step you are reporting and see that you have done it excacty, so that leave us hardware issue or battery problem.

[MENTION=4546136]silentvisitor[/MENTION] is a highily experience member and his advice always helpd us alot, this is why i will ask you to pay more atension to his suggestions.

What i would try next time is, after flashing rom and app and reboot your phone, plugg it in a charger with proven power and check for working cable (no laptop or pc, wall charger)

This will give , i think, the battery the extra strenth it needs ( if it is a power issue) to pass the instence stadium of the first boot.

After that my friend .........

Hi [MENTION=5740993]jer194[/MENTION]

Hi [MENTION=5740993]jer194[/MENTION]

1) Yep it says Model: GT-N7100

2) No I havent tried any other ROMs...just this one besides the Samsung ROM (this version comes with the O2 startup screen)

3) No ive never repartitioned/encrypted the phone before

4) So this is what I have been doing...basically each time I would flash the Samsung ROM back again after each failure and this one works well !!! However when trying this custom ROM, it doesn't work although I have been following all the recommended steps as advised.

On the other hand after each failure I have had to flash the phone using Odin and I tried restoration from TWRP once but it didnt work....I ended up with the Samsung logo frozen. So I used Odin to flash again. Ive already done that about 10 times now..... :( :( :(

Hi [MENTION=5554397]logosA[/MENTION] actually while flashing the phone I left it on charge (from wall charger) just to ensure i does not run out of juice. What I really fail to understand is why is it that flashing a Samsung ROM works fine but on the other hand a custom ROM doesn't ?!?! :confused:

Hi [MENTION=4546136]silentvisitor[/MENTION]

Thank you very much for your advice. I have removed the battery, checked on both sides to ensure there is no bump after i tried rotating it as well. So the battery looks in good condition.

[MENTION=7649031]TempoRobo[/MENTION]

Interesting !

Few basic things to check before we get advanced :

1. Check md5 of downloaded ROM zip

2. Try all MM ROMs

Report back and we'll take it from there.

Good luck :good:

When you flash a samsung rom, you flash all together and after booting it start to optimize app and other stuff i rom does(i dont now, i can only gess)

In our custom roms, we flash it in parts, rom, gapps kernels etc. Any small issue in this proccess and prevent phone from booting. The thing is that we all here have done it more than 10 times, each (20, 30, 40).

Never so far someone had face the problem you had, to not be able to boot at least once.

There are some versions of some roms that did that, no immediately noticed from users and devs and fixed it.

This rom you are trying to flash, i have flashed it 3 times in the last 10 days and didnt have any issue. All other members of this and other MM forums, have done it alot.

This is why we are curious to see what the problem is.

I will suggest you what [MENTION=4546136]silentvisitor[/MENTION] did, try someother rom too. And to not offend the developer [MENTION=6311143]Trafalgar Square[/MENTION], try his other rom Vanilla unicorn and check if this does the job. I have tested both and are very well and very close as roms.

IF NOT try some other ROM.

iTS ALWAYS YOUR CHOICE

Ask him to check the md5 checksum of each and every thing. Check for

1)twrp 3.0.2-0.img.tar (flash via odin)

2) downloaded rom

3) downloaded gapps(if you use opengapps there is a link to download md5 checksum zip which is checked by twrp automatically if placed in same folder as the gapps.)

Steps which i use

1)take backup on a pendrive via otg using twrp or flashfire

2)wipe all except external and otg

3)flash rom

4) immediately flash gapps .

5)clear dalvik and cache

6) reboot.

7) restore all my apps (if shifting from mm to mm then i use titanium else i use playstore)

8) download material xposed installer app and flash via the app's official section

Guys I can't thank you all enough for your help! (apologies if i missed out anybody!)

I understand this is a peculiar issue and even if this hasn't been resolved so far, I know very well I can always count on you all. Kudos to all of you and to the people behind this forum [MENTION=243864]xda[/MENTION] Team!

That being said I am now going with the latest advice from [MENTION=7150737]Yudh[/MENTION] and will update you all. Cheers! :good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Yudh:
Also check on sammobile website what is the latest firmware available for your country

Check the bootloader version and the baseband version.

If they don't match first flash the latest stock available and then proceed

Remember to check md5

✌
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] TempoRobo:
Hi [MENTION=7150737]Yudh[/MENTION]

Ive never checked for MD5 before so after a quick search on the net i came across one application (winMd5Sum) that can check for md5. Now it was easy to check md5 for the ROM since it had the md5 hash value on the website. On the other hand the md5 for open gapps is a downloaded file and i cannot read its md5 hash value! I tried dragging the file into the application and it gave me an md5 which i saved for later. Then I dragged the open gapps zip file into the application and it gave me an md5 and as i compared with the one i saved earlier, they were both different!!! I tried for TWRP which also has a downloadable md5 file (not the md5 hash value itself but in some other zipped (?) format ending with .md5), and same as with the open gapps md5, these one were different too!

I am not sure if i am doing it the right way, so could you please advise how i could go along checking the md5 safely?

Thank you
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Yudh:
Download root explorer or solid explorer

There is an option to see the md5 string of the file.

Use it to check the md5 of twrp and the rom.

Whereas incase of opengapps the .md5 file should be placed in exactly the same folder as the opengapps zip file(twrp will check it automatically for you when you will try to flash it)

Bug?:

Settings, buttons,Navigation bar buttons

when set enabled, and disabled, the button bar doesnt go away but not functional

I have 2 phones on CM, other can see in playstore the pokemon go and yea its released in my country

and I already factory reset N7100 so I think it is software related... maybe buildprop need to update to let playstore knows this is marshmallow? im not sure
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] silentvisitor:
[MENTION=7649031]TempoRobo[/MENTION]

md5 file of OpenGapps (or any) is a text file. You can open it with any text editor and inside you'll find md5 of zip.

We all are friends here and friends always stand by and stand for each other :):good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] logosA:
[MENTION=7649031]TempoRobo[/MENTION]

I am giving you here a list with the files, the locations for download and the md5 for all the files you may use for this task.

Please check to see all i f you have diferences in the files you are using. If not sure, try to download them from the begining to put them in your SD card fresh. These are the files and locations i use to flash the rom. For Gapps i am giving two files, open gapps and slim gapps, choose what you like best

Cyanogenmod System and or Android OS is keeping my screen awake causing battery drain. Any ideas? I havent updated to 10.4 just yet but will try when Im back, just wondering if theres a quick fix.

Also, does 10.4 involve a fix for the Do Not Disturb bug? If you turn on total silence and reboot your phone, it becomes impossible to turn off Do Not Disturb without using a schedule in the DND settings to turn it back in.

Thanks.

So ive downloaded rom, twrp and slim zero again, checked ok the md5 for both (on the other hand md5 for open gapps didn't check so i went for slim zero).

I couldnt do the backup through otg since i didnt have the cable, so i backed it up on the sd card. I went through the process exactly as advised by all friends on this forum, i.e

1) backup on sd card

2) wipe all except external and otg

3) flash rom

4) immediately flash gapps .

5) clear dalvik and cache

6) reboot.

At this point the phone rebooted....the green logo appeared, flashed for few minutes, then a new screen came up "Android is starting....", (with the ring still circling to show it is working) but thats it! It's now been around 15 mins. After rebooting i've plugged in the phone to the wall outlet for power just to make sure battery doesnt run out.

The phone is still stuck on the same screen and I haven't switched it off or anything.....i shall wait for further advice on how to proceed ahead!

Thank you.

After more than an hour of wait following the screen "Android is starting....", the phone is now showing the green flashing logo "Unofficial CyanogenMod 13 By Temasek". I was away so I am not sure if the phone had rebooted itself to reach to that screen. So i gather I shall leave it as it is and come back to it after another hour or so and check on any progress!

Update 2

The phone has just rebooted itself again with the same flashing logo on the screen "Unofficial CyanogenMod 13 By Temasek" :( :( :(

And what all do you flash
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] TempoRobo:
[MENTION=6975569]Vishal Vignesh[/MENTION]

I already have a backup on sd card so I went straight to wiping everything (Cache/format) except for external and otg. Next I would flash the ROM and immediately after gapps, following which i cleared cache/dalvik and then clicked on reboot.

I've also re-downloaded everything (ROM+Gapps) and checked MD5 to ensure they matched before flashing

The last time i tried recovery it didn't work since i got stuck with the Samsung logo. BTW ive tried a different ROM and I have the same problem. The only thing that seems to be working is flashing samsung rom through Odin!

I will try recovering through twrp and see if it works this time, or else i'll do it through Odin :(
