Heres the back story. I flashed a rom that wasnt meant for my version of the GN2. I was excited for it and I didnt read properly. So because of that I lost my IMEI, and the phone had no cellular connection. I fixed that with the toolkit and flashing a new modem. Then I re-flashed the ROM I was using before, CleanROM ACE 5.0.

Forward to now, Anytime I try a new rom, I can get them to work until the first reboot then they bootloop. Ive done full wipes, formats, everything and they all lock up after the first reboot. The only thing Ive been able to get to work is the original CleanROM. Im not sure if Im doing or not doing something wrong, any ideas?

Only one idea ...or rather a question...
Upon the repair of the device ...did you do a full return to stock using the factory shipped rom ???

You should try ...as it will map the partitions properly ...
My thinking is...that despite your efforts ...something within your partitions is still out of whack ...

The flashing of a rom not meant for this device can be particularly damaging as you already know....and may have left a portion undone ...g

Don't delete partitions ...
You need them...
Run the return to stock method again....
And I mean fully stock ...with the 3e recovery ...then root again with CF autoroot ..and then ODIN flash your TWRP recovery..

Then we can attempt the different Roms...
And remember ...
Use a PC for downloads ...not the device ...g

This seems to have solved my problem, I have skynote working with only a minor issue or two.

Use cwm instead of twrp I had the same issues a longtime ago back in my new to this days lol
