[Q] Stuck in Bootloop or Soft Brick?

[kaush666]

I may have screwed up my note pretty darn badly I guess :crying:

I was on CM10 today morning. Wanting to go to Alliance JB I flashed Stock GB over CM10. Did a wipe and got into KJ1 2.3.6

Then flashed CSC again as keyboard was showing null error.

It was a pre rooted ROM downloaded from Dr.Ketan's link. Next I upgraded to ICS DDLP8 via Mobile Odin and flashed CF-Root Kernel

As per Alliance ROM install instructions I downloaded ROM Customizer and flashed the Alliance ROM zip. Galaxy Note logo popped up and the Alliance ROM bootscreen came up but the O in ROM just kept popping and phone didn't get booted.

I figured it was dead so I switched the phone off by removing the battery. Now I came home and booted into TWRP and wiped data, cache and dalvik. Rebooted again but no luck. Switched off and rebooted again into recovery and wiped system. Installed Alliance ROM but no luck. Wiped system again.

Now I plugged my Note into my PC and flashed DDLP8 via PC Odin but again my note seems to be stuck in a bootloop.

Any solutions?

Please help me out. I am deep in this mess.

All help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Kaushik

Start again with the prerooted Rom flashed with PC Odin you used before (because this worked and was the base for your next steps).

Do as ThaiDai just said. But in future, don't flash ROMs with CF-Root ICS. Format command in updater script with unpatched update binary can result in a brick because CF-Root ICS kernel is pure stock without brick bug removed. Only CWM wipes and nandroid restores are safe. You are lucky this time because Alliance only uses delete recursive.

As he is already on DDLP8 .. i would say flash a DDLR9 philz kernel using recovery and boot into cwm and do a factory reset

 

[kaush666]

I downloaded DDLRB the latest 4.0.4 ROm from Dr.Ketan's stock ROM thread. Went to prerooted GB and flashed ICS over it. Now running Philz Kernel on it

Thanks for the help guys. I tried to go to Alliance JB ROM again. Installed ROM Customizer and flashed Alliance ROM. All went well and my phone said it flashed succesfully. But now am bootlooping on the Alliance ROM logo.



Should I boot into recovery and do a factory reset or shall I restore my nandroid backup to 4.0.4 ?

Thanks,

after new rom.. wait for about 5 mins to check if it loads up.. check if the touch buttons lit up.. if yes then wait

always before flashing a new rom.. go into recovery and format /system, data , cache and preload. this will save you from doing a factory reset after installing the new rom. now you do a factory reset .

From your fist sentence I guess that you installed and started a Rom successfully.
If so, you do not have a general problem but "only" one with the specific Custom Rom (Alliance).
So you should post in the Rom thread because there might be an issue with the specific (singular) installation procedure Robbie uses or a mistake you make when you use it.

You're right. The problem seems to be with Alliance ROM only. So I guess I will continue in that thread. Going back to 4.0.4 now
Waited quite long but my phone kept rebooting on and on and on.

It sucks cos I've been spoiled by CM10 and wanted to experience JB on Touchwiz

Thank you all for the help. :highfive:
