jasmine rom. wiped and wiped cache, then installed. was working fine. rebooted a few times, but safestrap v3.72 will not boot, and you have to shut the phone off. i turned it off,and when i turned back on, it never booted again.

Download Tar for MJE then root it. Once your on rooted MJE continue then with the NC2 flash.

    IM able to install the mje.tar.md5 file thru odin and thats it. once the phone restarts it still does not boot. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

    Boot directly into recovery from odin and wipe data factory reset. It is mentioned in my tutorial in the general section.

    Edit* somebody already mentioned this...didnt read the entire thread, just the OP and instantly knew what the problem was.

    Oh and Fwiw questions should not be posted in the development section. :)

    Post what you did to get it working.
    it was suggested that i flash a pit file along with the stock mje image. i was not unzipping it correctly for odin to find it. once i got it unzipped correctly, i was able to load the files in odin and flash the phone. once it was done it rebooted and i saw the samsung logo with the circle spinning around it and knew i was back in business.

    ****now, can someone steer me toward how to remove or supress the SOFTWARE READY TO INSTALL nag please***
