[Q] LiquidSmooth 3.1 for i717 Won't boot. Help? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hello, I have an i717 and I'm having an extremely annoying issue with LiquidSmooth 3.1. So basically, after the first boot/setup, it runs perfectly fine. Beautifully. But if I turn it off, it won't load the OS when I turn it on again. It'll sit on a black screen for several hours. I've tried reinstalling this ROM about 5 times and had the same issue each time.
Anyone having the same issue, or know a fix?

Just restarted the phone, booted after the 12th time.

LS goes through the bootanimation twice so it will look like its boot looping. Plus it does seem to take a while to boot into the os, just gotta be patient with the ROM on initial boot.

This is really weird. I formatted all of the partitions, and did a fresh re-install of LiquidSmooth 3.1. It installed just fine, the Polluti0n V2 patch installed fine as well. But when I tried installing the Gapps (pa gapps stock 4.4.4 20140629), it came up with:
"file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.prop": No such file or directory.
E: Error in /sdcard/pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20140629-signed.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted."

Status 7 is upgrade your recovery, but I have never seen it hit with gapps or just gapps.

CWM is your recovery and your version#
TWRP is also a recovery used.
Let me ask you how long have you been flashing on this version of recovery and is there an updated version?

I purchased this phone used, and I've had it for 2.5 weeks and have been flashing every couple of days between CM10.1.3 and LS 3.1. I believe there may be an updated version, I'll look around.

Oh yeah....if you are flashing CM 10 with it wow. That is quite an older version and LS 3.1 is kit kat. CM 10 is the equivalent of JB so your bouncing back and forth and the up to date recoveries were designed to handle KK.
go to development and find the TWRP thread from "GIMMIEORILLTELL". it is TWRP version 2.8.0.1 ???
TWRP is a touch based recover which is sooooooo simple to use. No more toggle of the volume rocker.
Download and flash like you would any rom.
Once flashed, boot up whatever or pull battery and replace.
Boot back into recovery and it will be there.

I selected the Zip using CWM, and told it to flash it. It successfully flashed, replacing the recovery.img. Then I reboot, and it bricked. Keeps flashing the samsung logo, pressing the recovery buttons (volume up+ power) does nothing. There's nothing I can do. It's dead.

Could be a stuck power button my friend. Flick the back of the phone behind the power button with your finger.
Dont be shy, but done break your finger either.
Very common problem.
Pull battery. Can you get download mode?
Unless you flashed files for the wrong device, I don't think you are bricked.
If you can get download mode, you are not bricked.
What file did you flash?

I fixed her. All I did was install Odin, and reinstall the stock ROM (md5 file). Also just rooted it with a new verision of CWM.
I want to thank you for your patience.

We were getting close to that option. Every once in a while, and I have had to do it recently, we have to return to stock. Basically it takes out all the garbage that has accumulated, even though our process is clean.
I couldn't get anything to flash, not even an alternate recovery. Went back to complete stock, Re root and Bob is your uncle. (that means everything as good as new).
Glad your fixed. Dont let it detour you from flashing. It's a lot of fun. Keeps me off the streets.

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip
(warning: I have tested it and it works but it did cause me a bootloop, and im assuming this is becuase im on a different rom - - - so not responsible for any damages)

Cannot get into Recovery

Let me give some info on my situation:
The phone has unlocked boot loader
I got a replacement phone and wanted to odin back to stock to send back my original phone.
I used Odin to flash back to stock but the phone will not boot and I cannot get into recovery.
I am able to use Odin with success every time. I have followed instruction on how to return to stock and everything goes perfectly until I try to reboot or go into recovery. I just get the Samsung splash screen and it blinks every couple of seconds.
Any ideas?
so you pulled battery, reinsert, three finger combo(vol up/home/power) until you see recovery booting and it wont boot into recovery?

I have been using your instructions to go back to stock using odin from any rom. Do I need to flash the PIT with any stock odin file?
I have successful used the route66, Revision3 and Imuts files. all flash in Odin gave me the "SUCCESS" but then I cannot boot into recovery or start the phone.
Could it be because I had an unlocked bootloader? Is there a way to reinstall just a bootloader and/or recovery.

If you're returning it use the OTA jb image (full wipes and locks boot loader) and the pit file.

Yes, this was my problem exactly!! I know you weren't saying this, but it wasn't the Jedi ROM that did it just to clear that up. It was a ROM that I was beta testing that hasn't been released yet. I was on Jedi ROM prior to flashing the beta test ROM which I think is what you meant.

I had a feeling that is was bricked as I have tried everything I could to fix it. It is not that big of a deal because the screen was shattered on it last week and I paid the insurance for a replacement and was sending it back anyways.

[Q] Stuck at launch screem

I have a p4wifi that is stuck in a boot loop. I think the term is 'soft bricked'.
Basically, last night I turned my tab on for the first time in ages, and it all worked fine. I had rooted and flashed custom roms before (I'd been running a nightly of CyanogenMod for a long time, and it worked well), and I considered myself an expert. I updated loads of apps and stuff, and then realised I wanted a new font. I went into ROM manager and found the font I wanted, Ubuntu. It told me there was an update to ClockworkMod recovery so I wen ahead and updated it, checking the thing for Touch (I'd already bought it). That want ahead and it updated, throwing me back into the OS. I then went to get Ubuntu (I downloaded it within ROM manager), and didn't deem it necessary to create a backup, nor wipe anything. It processed it but returned an error, I though ok but never mind and I told it to reboot. Again that worked fine. I realised I was on a very old verson of CyanogenMod (probably ICS, it was around 201304). As I always do, I grabbed the latest version (again, in ROM manager), and elected to install it. I didn't wipe the delvik cache or whatever, and hit 'Reboot into recovery'. That was where the problem occurred. It wouldn't go any further than the 'Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1' boot screen (see attachment) into recovery. A similar thing happened before, but it just eventually went away after an hour or so. This has been running for a day, and there has been no progress. I've tried various key combos, like the normal way to get into recovery, but they won't work.
If I need I could find the instructions I followed, but it would be hard.
Is it completely broken? Can a save my data? Will I have to factory reset it? Will I keep my root/ClockworkMod? Will I keep my rom?
Thanks in advance to the person who can answer this
Do you have any ROM zips in your SD card? If you do, boot into recovery, full wipe and flash it. Piece of advice, don't use the recovery in ROM manager. Download pershoot's version of cwm instead in here. www.droidbasement.com

I have a few nandroid backups, if that counts? I do have a few ROM zips on my SD card too, though. Will a full wipe delete photos etc? I'm guessing it'll get rid of the apps, but that's no problem. But how would I get into recovery? I've already tried to get in with no success.

If you can find a way to get into recovery, then yes you can use your nandroid. You problem now is you can't get into recovery or download mode, right? Well can you try using adb? If you can then type adb reboot recovery in command prompt to reboot to recovery.
Oh yeah, full wipe won't delete photos etc unless you wipe your internal storage/SD card.

Oh, thanks. I've got ADB already installed (I used it in trying to root my HTC Hero). Have I said thanks? You're a life saver
Oh dear, it seems that it's not showing up as an ADB device. Are there any other ways to get into recovery?

Just tried that, when I selected recovery it just turned off
So you can get into download mode?
Download mode, yes. I've got it open now, in fact
Now that's easy. Your tab can't boot because it doesn't have any sort of recovery(don't ask me why I don't know ). Apparently ROM Manager wiped your recovery clean and didn't flash the new one. Just flash cwm or twrp via Odin and try to boot. If it still can't boot, then restore your nandroid. Ironically, the same thing happened to me yesterday when I tried to flash latest twrp using Mobile Odin.

I actually have no idea. I think I used a program similar to Odin that did the job. I remember booting into download more before. Oh yes, I flashed the disk image for the root and CWM using the default windows tool. Anyway, I've fixed it now. I couldn't find a .tar to do the job so I converted a random file to a .tar and flashed it that way, tricking it into thinking it had a recovery and therefore booting. In the OS I used ROM Manager to get CWM.

I actually have no idea. I think I used a program similar to Odin that did the job. I remember booting into download more before. Oh yes, I flashed the disk image for the root and CWM using the default windows tool. Anyway, I've fixed it now. I couldn't find a .tar to do the job so I converted a random file to a .tar and flashed it that way, tricking it into thinking it had a recovery and therefore booting.

4.3 roms don't like my phone turning off

Every time my phone dies, or I turn it off or I reboot, no matter what 4.3 rom I'm using, it stays on the boot animation until I either pull battery or hold power to turn off. I've flashed, reflashed, dirty flashed clean flashed (I format the system as well) I've tried CM10.2, PacMan, and Beanstalk and all three have this issue. I haven't read anywhere that someone else is having problems like this. Please advise!:fingers-crossed:

I have the same problem. Can't seem to figure it out either. The only way to fix it is to reflash. At first I thought it was an app or setting but after a clean install and boot I reboot without going through the setup but it still would not reboot.
Same
I'm having the exact same issue and as you have, I've tried everything I can think of.
Ive tried flashing CM 10.2 + GAPPS, just CM10.2, 3 different types of Google Edition Roms and in every case the initial boot is fine... It boots and works perfectly, however on first reboot, it wont boot back up.
It just sits on the SGS4 logo, have left it for 25 minutes.
I would really love to know how to fix this. The only way to get it working after it has been restarted once is to delete cache, dalvik AND data...
Cache and Dalvik don't fix it.
figured a little bit...
Well now that I've flashed it using TWRP instead if CWM touch, it does reboot back up. However with TWRP flashing I'm getting reboots while typing.

I used Goo manager to install TWRP. Then used that to install the latest nightlies and latest gapps - 0813. So far so good!!

If this works can you post a quick overview of what you did...
Because I've tried reinstalling TWRP and it didnt seem to help, but happy to try again if it works for you!
All is good!
Been running it since I installed using the method i mentioned above.
The ROM is running smoothly with no issues or reboots. I did reboot it a couple times to verify that it is booting properly.
Alright...I installed TWRP through Goomanager, when I did this I selected the manual option and booted into CWM and performed a BACK UP first...flashed the TWRP.zip file that goo downloaded for me. Version 2.6.0.1 I think it was? I rebooted into recovery and found it successfully flashed TWRP, I went into the wipe options and chose data cache system and dalvik, backed out and chose install and reinstalled Cm10.2 and GApps. I'm able to reboot and all but I'm still finding reboots here and there....I was able to go 18hrs on battery (awesome for stock settings!) And without a single reboot.

Yup that's the same for me. Random reboots here and there but overall very solid with great battery life.
Can't wait for more nightlies.

Try This Rom
[Rom][JellyBean][4.3][BeanStalk Build 4.3.05][updated 8.19]
I have Flashed it with no issues :fingers-crossed:
hope this will help you
Yeah, I posted in the dev thread, that particular one gives me reboots while typing if the vibrate on key press is on. Other than that it was working fine. I'm still digging the cm 14th nightly.

Yup same with me. Kinda surprised that there have been no more Nightlies for this though, The Note II has one updated to 18th.
I'm sticking with this.

Port This ROM? (MIUI V7)

Any chance someone can port this for use with our 900P?

I managed to get it to flash but upon boot, it hung. I tried flashing a KK CM kernel and achieved the same result and restored back to a CM12.1 ROM. I'm going to mess with it a little more tonight.
Thanks for the feedback!

I had to restart once, it hung on first boot. After that it booted fine. I ran it for a few hours but not my kinda rom. The CM kernel will hang it's samsung based

How did you get it to boot?
This ROM boots without issue. No need to change kernels or anything else. That said, after booting I do not have any voice or data services available. I tried restoring the Sprint APN and, although it shows up, I still can't get connected to the Sprint network.
EDIT: Whenever I flash a new ROM, my method is always wipe system, data, dalvik cache, and cache 3 times then reboot to recovery and proceed with flashing as normal. With this ROM, after the first boot it seems to hang. Press and hold power til it reboots then you'll see the MIUI boot animation.
