I'm trying to wipe my phone and flash back to stock as the phone is becoming very slow and unresponsive. In using RSD Lite and attempting to flash, it continuously failed. I'm trying to do a factory wipe and it won't do that either, it sticks at the bootloader noting it failed and I have to power off and then bring it back up and choose normal reboot.
I need to wipe this thing and start fresh, too many problems going on.

Regardless of which rom I flash, once I reboot my phone, whether it be a normal reboot or to do a nandroid in recovery etc, my phone freezes on the start up during the boot animation.
This forces me to wipe the data/factory reset and install the rom again just to get my phone up and running again.
Even after I wipe everything and freshly install a rom, I'll get occasional force close bombardment. I'll just have to keep starting over until I am able to boot the phone correctly. Again, even if I can get it to start correctly, I can only use the phone as long as I DO NOT reboot for any reason. Otherwise I start the whole vicious cycle over again. Messed up..I know...
I properly install the roms, formatting cache and Dalvik when appropriate. I have also already done the method to fix force closes posted by seanzcreams. I even formatted my external sd and internal sd and started over. I still get a freeze on start up after my frist successful boot of any rom.
I am SOOO tired of getting my phone the way I like it and have to start over when I am no longer able to reboot
If there is anyone who could help me before I pull all my hair out and kill myself, you'd be my best friend. Thanks ahead
Try flashing stock recovery with Odin and wipe data/factory reset. If that doesn't work maybe try flashing back to full stock, reroot and try again

Remove the SD Card from phone and then boot to see if you still see FCs.
I am having some serious issues with my phone today. What exactly is the point of formatting system, data, and cache after you wipe? What is the advantage and what happens if you just wipe and not format? I have never had issues making backups and restoring them until I started having to format before flashing these new JB roms. I have noticed that any backup I make (even ones that I have successfully restored without issue numerous times) completely stop working after I format my phone. Phone has bricked three times today.
This morning I had to bust out ODIN again and flash the Root66 (stock root) to fix the phone. Annoying, but no big deal. After I'm done I made a backup of the stock root. No issues. Then I go into recovery and factory wipe, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik. Did that twice. Then formatted system, data, and cache twice too. Flash the TasteOfBeans rom...installs no problem. Working great. Spent about two hours setting my phone up the way I used to have it. Boot into recovery and make a backup of this rom since I have set it up. About an hour goes by and I need to use my GPS so I boot into recovery and attempt to restore the stock root backup I made just this afternoon and it fails. Why the hell is it failing? Then I go to reboot system so I can at least get back into the JB rom and it just get stuck on the samsung boot logo (my boot loader is unlocked).
I had these exact same order of events occur with JellyWiz last night. I'm pretty over the whole format system, data, cache after wiping because this is the only new thing I have been doing and its cause me to bust out ODIN about three times in two days and all my backups are failing.
VERY frustrating...
To make it even worse after my most recent run in of failed restores and stuck on boot, I just ran odin again flashing the same Root 66 that I have been using to solve my issues all day and now its stuck in the Verizon 4G LTE boot.
So, even after using ODIN the phone is stuck in the Verizon 4G LTE bootloop. I flashed the Stock Root 66.
After I gave up on that, I decided to completely unroot the phone and start from scratch so I flashed the stock unrooted zip in ODIN. Same result...cant get past the Verizon boot screen. What is happening? Is my phone completely screwed or is it fixable?
Alright, perhaps you should try odin flashing the phone back to complete stock. No Root66, just factory firmware.

Odin the stock Verizon ROM.
During first reboot after Odin, sometimes the phone will hang. Pull out the battery. Count to 10. Put the battery back and hopefully the phone should boot.
....just double check all the proper boxes are checked and unchecked in Odin. PDA only.....

Hi
i have flashed the newst firmware (N8000XXCMG2_N8000RBTCMG2_DBT) on my N8000 via odin and checked the option Nand Erase All (i don't know why ). after the flashing and reboot, the tablet works fine but i've noticed:
i get in the download mode without the confirmation screen
directly after the power on the screen shows for few seconds sometimes PHOTO1 and sometimes PHOTO2, then the boot animation and works after that normally
i've tried everything: factory reset, reflash, other firmware, downgrade to ICS and upgrade to JB, flash with PIT file, flash CWM recovery, flash stock recovery
i just can't get rid of the issues
You wont fix it Nand Erase All usually kills the item as it wipes the part that is never wiped .
Note requires a service centre who may need to send to the factory and its a paid for repair .
I've been rooting and customizing phones since the original T-Mobile G1...but this phone gives me headaches. I unrooted my phone through superuser and updated my phone through smart switch, I even tried odin to flash an update but for some reason it just gets stuck at the Samsung logo, if I re-root my phone it comes right up...I can get my phone to come up every time I've rooted it but if I don't root it after odin flash or smart switch, it just sits there. I've waited 30 minutes or more each at the samsung logo. Anyone who can help me, I just want to unroot and flash a clean stock firmware.

Go into TWRP recovery and wipe dalvik cache, cache, data, and system. Then reboot into download mode from TWRP. Then Odin flash stock firmware. Once booted or if stuck on boot logo, try to boot into stock recovery and wipe data factory reset. Power on and all should be good. I've done this before with success.

This should definitely work, however be warned. If you end up having to go into stock recovery for a factory reset, all of your user data will be wiped.
My phone was running great on MOAR 3.1 and all of the sudden froze while browsing. I was able to reboot, but the freeze would occur after a few seconds or up to a minute after every reboot. Booted into recovery and clean installed and had the same problem. Went to odin to try and flash stock but phone kept freezing on download screen.
I was finally able to keep the phone active long enough to get a clean flash of stock tar, but the freezing and rebooting problem still persists.
It does not have any problems when in twrp. If I can get it to boot back up into recovery it will stay responsive.
I don't know what else to try.
Thanks for any ideas.
Full wipe with custom recovery, including internal storage and reflash stock tar.
