after hooking your phone up via usb cable do 'adb devices' make sure your computer sees your phone then try this command in cmd 'adb reboot recovery' (you have to have android sdk installed to do that command, btw)

i fixed it. i odined back to stock then i re-rooted. and flashed a teamhacksung build 1. that worked well but it was 4.01 then i flashed milestone 6 aokp and it worked. i guess i was on the wrong build

[Q] CM7 boot loop!

Hi all
I'm not new to flashing but I'm new to flashing cm7.
I odin back to stock jfd eclair. Root and Install CWM 2.xxx. I downloaded the stable cm7 and I started flashing. (after I wipe data/cache of course)
IN recovery, it said finding package, opening package, then my phone processed a series of lines and reboot automatically. On the startup, it says VIBRANT SAMSUNG, then GALAXY S CYANOGEN(mod) then the same recovery screen with many lines. It moved too fast into another reboot I couldn't read what was on the screen. And it kept doing this for quite 10 mins now.
Is it normal? if not, what did I do wrong? I can get into download mode and odin back to stock but I did it last night and I couldn't think what i did wrong.
Please help!
Hmmmm..... seems a bit wierd, try going into recovery and wiping and reinstalling with a new download.

Try reflashing cwm when your rooted, may have not flashed right
Sent from my Gewgle Phone via XDA App
This happened to me also, I went directly back to recovery, 3 button, and reflashed. Worked the second flash for some reason.
Thanks. I turn it off, get into recovery again, and re flash it successfully
Same exact thing happened. I have no idea how many time I odened back to stock trying to figure it out.
I did as you guys said, as soon as that loop began, pulled the battery and got back into recovery. flashed again and worked just fine!
same thing happened to me...i got back into recovery...i noticed cwm updated to 5.0.2.8 then i reflashed and all good...when i tried to flash at first. cwm was 2.5 ..maybe thats the issued it wont flash on that...has to be cwm 5.0
anyway getting ready enjoy some cm7 on my vibrant...

[Q] Bricked? [Solved]

Got my Note a few hours ago. Charged it up. Downloaded Odin. Rebooted to download mode. Used Odin to flash some pda.tar that I got from a thread here which said it would install root.
My phone rebooted, and it has been stuck at "Samsung" ever since. Reboots and pulling battery do nothing. Reboots to a stuck samsung logo. I've also, since, flashed CWM successfully, and I'm able to boot to CWM.
I attempted to flash the CM10 builds from these boards, and it errors out with a build.prop thing and refuses to install the package.
Am I bricked without ever making even 1 phone call on my new phone? ..
You are not bricked. If you were bricked you would not be able to get into CWM.
What ROM did you try to install and can you still see it from CWM?
Also which CWM did you install? I think the version of CWM is probably the issue with CM10, just a guess.
Can you get in to download mode?
Also, what version of the Galaxy Note do you have? I717 or what?
From what I've seen all cmw versions posted on the board are too old to flash cm10.
Flashing cmw and then booting up to install/download/flash ROM manager and the latest version of cmw will fix the cm10 problem. But if you attempted to flash a cmw tar and it got stuck at the boot screen you likely flashed the wrong version for your os.

I flashed a factor(?) build. It's an old gingerbread. Booted up. Tried to run Kies. It, of course, told me to fly a kite. Ran the pda.tar again and it installed a kernel, succesfully, that then allowed me to install superuser. Then I flashed my CWM again. It works. Just did a backup.
When I try to use it to install CM10, i get a status 7 error. I'm using the 4-14-2012 touch recover found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584576
From what I'm gathering from your post, if I install ROM Manager, it will update me to a better CWM, and that CWM will flash CM10 without status 7ing on me?
Thanks for the quick responses guys. I've done a number of Droid's, nexus 7, and my Acer a500, but I'm new to Odin. The thought of bricking a phone without owning it 3 hours had me in a panic.
edit: installed ROM manager. It doesn't give me the option to download CWM for a note. Not sure what to do there.
I don't believe your Note is bricked. This thing seems to be bullet proof.

One last thing if you want Adobe flash to work in your browser (i.e. Dolphin) you have to stay with ICS builds. Adobe stop supporting Android after 4.0.X releases.
Thanks guys. I swear I'm only a completely flustered noob with the note. I've got a custom ROM'd nexus 7 on one side of me and I'm using my sdcard from my CM10'd acer a500.
I can't thank you all enough. Everything is now running -- cm10 and booting -- and I'm live.

Nothing wrong with ROM manager and I've never had an issue with it on the note. It does only flash newer cwm on ICS and doesn't seem to support gb well but that is easily bypassed.

[Q] TWRP 2.4.4.x Boot Loop?

Has anyone else had a boot loop problem with the new V of TWRP?? I'm running SOAv3 ROM and had ZERO problems, upgraded my twrp and had about a dozen restarts and freezes and then when I tried to boot into recovery, it boot looped. Fixed it with ODIN, then tried installing it fresh, and got the same thing. Went back to my older version and things are fine once again just wondered if this is isolated or just a known bug??
Yes its a know issue right now go back to the previous working version of twrp and wait for it to get fixed.Also be sure to check big Biff's twrp page before trying to update again to make sure everything is good.

Just update from Padawan V8 to SOA build 3. Was skeptical for a day or so but finally did it last night. Was just about to update to the New TWRP, thank fully I read through all those pages before I did, I usually don't. Saved me a head ache except I forgot to wipe cache's before installing the GAPPS, going to have to re-do that I believe to get the new camera functions from what I've read.

[Q] "Initiating swagger" forever, tried several roms!

I've been trying to load a new rom onto my fascinate sch-i500v for a few hours now. I previously had a 4.1 build (milestone I think) and cwm 4.0.1.0 installed. I've tried every rom from cw10 to hellybean to avatar and they all do the same thing. I wipe the cache, factory reset. Then installed from the zip file. At this point, the install starts to initiate, but the phone suddenly reboots and after a few seconds tries to load up the old rom (unsuccesfully, hence why I said I'm seeing the "initiating swagger" load screen forever)
Yesterday, I did this exact upgrade successfully to my other fascinate sch-500 (no v on the end for that one, not sure if that makes any difference).
That one rebooted suddenly as well, but it went back into the clockwork recovery and completed the install without a hitch.
Anybody have any suggestions? I'm sort of a noob, but I have flashed over ten phones...
Go back to stock and start over

Boot loop on certain KitKat Roms

A couple of months back I was using Carbon 4.4 on my phone. I realized that I grabbed the wrong model number and install an galaxy s3.
Everything was working fine for a while before I knew that I messed up. Then one day app started messing up and that when I saw that it was wrong. I tried flashing the Note 2 version of the ROM and got stuck in a boot loop. Which resulted in a battery pull and booting back into recovery. Only SlimKat has worked for me now. Carbon, Liquid Smooth, Pac Man don't work. They all get stuck in booting image and spin forever.
Is there anything I can do to get these roms working again?

Would flashing it to stock via odin fix any errors I might have created?
Yeah, typically if you Odin back to stock, and reroot. Choose the correct package though, don't want 4.3 Odin, or you end up locked tight.
