Tried my first Rom flash now boot looping - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I had 4.0 installed and rooted for a little while now.
So I wanted to install CM10 so I followed this guide http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-i717-roms/cm10-jelly-bean-rom-for-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717/
I just backed up everything in CWM then install TWRP since he said you might need it, I backed up in TWRP and then I flashed cm-10-20121006-UNOFFICIAL-quincyatt.zip in TWRP restarted and now its Looping the boot animation for CyanogenMod.
I read in the thread a lot of people are having this problem but no one is giving a clear fix for it.
I can get Odin Mode by holding power and volume down, but I am not sure what to do from here?

Try booting into recovery mode (hold volume down and up then hold power) and restore your backup before doing anything with odin

Shouldn't be a problem if you wipe before flashing

When I do that I puts me into odin downloading mode. Do I have to reflash cwm?

I would ....yes
Then....you must "always " wipe caches, data , system before flashing a
New build....otherwise you'll get loops and data corruption...g

Are you sure its looping? I've had some ROMs take like ten minutes to boot. As long as you can get to recovery or download mode you can work your way back read the super thread really well and go slow good luck

When I stepped up to the 4.2 ROM I did the usual wipe and got the boot loop too.
Update to TWRP 2.4
Wipe caches
Factory reset
Flash ROM, let it settle in for a few hours, don't install anything.
Flash gapps and set up your apps

I got the 10 minute boot (I don't wait well ),anyway I went back to recovery /twrp re-wiped installed again and now on (no 2/flapps. Nightly) ,Go where ya want but I would advise against rootgalaxy for future use ,stick with xda ,tons to learn right here

[Q] Help with over-modded legend

Basically, I installed YogenTouch 1.5 after been riding the nightly cyanogen wave and having the phone crash during idle time. I wanted to try something new. Problem is that I can't install anything else with Clockwork and my question is simple:
How can I return the phone to its most basic state, with a gingerbread rom and a clean slate?
I tried flashing other mods, windows 7 is now telling me it should repair the usb whenever I connect it to the computer, I'd love to format and start the rooting process all over again, but I'm afraid I'll brick it.
Thanks!
If you install a rom like blayo, do you wipe your phone before you install?

i don't, i keep all my apps and everything, no cleaning of data or cache or dalvik.

Normaly if you change roms you have to wipe everything to have that fresh feel of the new rom
Try backing up your apps; I recommend titanium backup free, to be sure also backup true cwm, then wipe everything and then install a new rom
That should fix your problem

that's the problem, flashing won't work.. i get stuck in the clockwork mod recovery thing with the triangle and the upside down ! sign
looks like you need fake flash
Dude, if you had rommanager installed. The cwm recovery should be installed properly. But just in case you faild to get in to cwm recovery. Than at the red triangle with ! Sign. Press vol + and the power button. Than use the update.zip to access cwm. Rommanager will copy it's cwm as update.zip to your sd card when you installed it.

then select flash update.zip and confirm with power

[Q] Bootloop, can't reach recovery

Hi, I have a problem with my ace. I have official stock rom 2.3.3, yesterday when phone was on charger, he began to turn off, agin and again. when I attempt to start standard recovery mode to wipe factory reset, before I did that, phone started bootloop continuosly, it can't even reach recovery menu. I tried to flash with Odin, stock rom and others, didn't work, odin show pass but when restarted, he did bootloop again. Is there any help or service? May I flash stock rom now, because of warranty?
enter recovery mode
wipe davik cache
factory reset
clear cache
and flash with Odin

I have ever experienced it too... What i did was removing my SD card and SIM card, and then wipe dalvik cache and cache via Recovery before factory resetting it and then flash the stock ROM with ODIN.
If it still wont work, then its probably because of the ROM file.. maybe its corrupt, try redownloading it.
Flash a stock ROM without root and go for the warranty. Sounds like it's f***ed

Can you go to download mode? Then flash full package stock ROM.
Try to keep holding Power+Home button, it sometimes restart before coming to Recovery mode... so just keep doing it
I've tried to flash full stock, without results.
and i started emergency dload mode (arm9) mode. what is this?
hold power + home + volume down it should go into download mode... then you can flash stock rom with odin
Done, several times with different ROM-s, didn't work. Service is only solution I guess.

You need to do it again... or flash Entrophy512's kernel then wipe again.

I had the same exact issue. All you need to do is Hold the Pwr. button to force shutdown. Then hold the Vol. up and power until you see the Samsung Logo. Let go of Pwr. while still holding the Vol. up. You will see some errors once it finishes select wipe phone/factory reset. then reboot the device. Use the home button to select and volume keys to navigate. I did not flash the custom Kernel until I had the device running properly. So re-flash the stock ROM and follow my directions.

SGS3 bricked by downgrading CM10.1 nightly to CM10-nightly

Hi guys,
if this has been encountered and answered before please bear with me - the search function lets me down...
I installed cm-10.1-20121217-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip on my SGS3 yesterday (international model) coming from cm-10-20121216-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip. Sadly, after reboot, it appeared that all of a sudden my Runtastic app was gone, simply gone. I tried to access Google Play to get it reinstalled but the Google Play screen would just flash up for maybe 100-200ms, then disappear again. No way to start Google Play. I then wanted to go back to cm-10-20121216-NIGHTLY-i9300, but after rebbot, the device appears to hang in the boot process, displaying only the rotating CM logo almost indefinitely (well, at least 55 minutes).
Using recovery mode took me no where either - I get the screen with the yellow triangle but I can do nothing from there on, having to reboot. Which takes me back to square one - bummer.
What can I do to unbrick / reinstall cm-10-20121216-NIGHTLY-i9300? I think it may have something to do with wiping data but there was no point where I could have done this.
TIA!
First: how did you install the ROMs?
The screen with the yellow triangle is download-mode, not recovery. So i wonder how you installed these zip.
Also CM10.1 messes up your sdcard, it'll put all your data in the folder /sdcard/0/ so thats why you probably can't find anything in CM10.
Didn't you forget to install the gapps after flashing CM10?

I used CM Updater as usual, so no gapps install afterwards I suppose.

CM updater needs CWM so just boot into CWM recovery (not download-mode) and do a factory reset/wipe.
And install the gapps after the factory reset.

The standard procedure (vol down, home, power) will send me reproducibly straight to download mode. Apparently, there is something severely screwed up... I'll try to re-flash CWM using Odin and go on from there
Update: Re-flashing solved the problem. Thanks for your hints!
vol down, home, power = Download Mode
vol up , home, power = Recovery Mode
First thing to do is calm down. Then, check if you can boot into download (power+volume down+home) . If yes, search for a stock rom to flash via Odin, from your pc ^^
same thing happened to me last night have been installing the nightles almost everyday no issues whatsoever in the last 2 months last night went ot nightly 20121218 or maybe it was the 19 not sure and it bricked my phine, 1/2 back now about to bring it back to stock and then go back to cm 10, i don't even have google play on the device anymore and have no option either to sign in with google account.
TIA![/QUOTE]
Cm10.1 moves all ur files in int-card to mnt/0 once u flash it from cm10 so u have to move all files back using PC or cm explorer so clockworkmod folder with your backup can be detected once u go on recovery mode... Download the latest gapps for 4.2, flash cm10.1 and latest gapps den clear dalvik

What you can do is, fisrt try to boot into CWM with vol up + home +power.
If it does get in there, wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik.
Then reboot in download mode.
Get odin desktop, and flash a rom with PDA, and you should be ready to go.
If you can't get into CWM, you must get into download mode, and flash cwm with odin desktop.
After that is done you will be able do get into cwm, and follow the procedures i described.

boot loop after going back to stock.

Hi i went from the latest unlocked 4.1.2 united kingdom firmware to paranoid android 3.10.
i decided to go back to the stock 4.1.2 so i downloaded it and from sammobile and installed via odin 3 v3.07 but it is stuck on the samsung bootloop. i can hold the power, home and down which takes me into that mode but using power, home and up does nothing.
Is there any way i can get out of this boot loop and use stock firmware again?
thanks.
Can you enter recovery mode.....vol up+home+power
If you can, flash cwm recovery via odin and enter recovery mode and then factory reset

you dont need to flash custom recovery mode you just have to boot into stock recovery mode and reset data and cache
hit thanks if i deserve it

OK thanks. i wiped everything and its now back to stock rom. thanks.
Is there a reason why it got stuck in boot loop? Was it because i didnt wipe cache and the other two things first?

Sometimes happens flashing stock Roms from custom, it may be it only occurs with aosp to stock, but always wise to backup everything as stock reset will wipe sd card
