Cannot flash any other roms for my gt-n8000

hi everyone, just not sure if you have this problem before.
this is my situation:
I have tried to flash mike.1986 's new rom, Android revolution hd 9.0, but it has got stuck on the EFS partition screen and then my note 10.1 (n8000) cannot be turn on properly again.:crying:
So i use odin to flash the official rom (from sammobile), back to the Chinese PRC version. and it works again.
But i found out that the PRC rom does not have google framework, no play store, no google map and etc. so i downloaded a HK version one, but in Odin, it came out error, and not working again. Try all other official roms, but no of them working except the PRC one.
I have tried to flash CMW recovery, and install zip from sd card, like what i have been told. none of the custom roms work as well. :crying:Also tried the Wammlite rom, it said flash completed, but then it stucked on Galaxy Note 10.1 screen....:crying:
That's about it. If anyone can kindly let me know to flash other roms instead of the PRC official rom, that will be great.:fingers-crossed:
Thank you so much in advance!:highfive:
Problems sloved
Used the Galaxy Note 10.1 Tool Kit, use the TWRP instead of CWM. Then all good! Thanks to mskip!:good:

[Q] Darkman/Harris_xx N8010 Stock Rom Issue

Firstly I really appreciate the work by Darkman and Harris_xx however yesterday I tried to install the ROM from [ROM][STOCK][4.1.2][CMH2] N8010 Stock Rooted Busybox Deodexed (CWM) [05/09/2013] which is Darkman's ROM that was updated by Harris_xx, on my N8010. After it successfully flashes I get an error on boot up stating I do not seem to be rooted / or that supersu is not installed (unfortunately did no capture the actual error) and then it sits at the galaxy note boot page indefinitely.
I'm pretty sure its an issue with the ROM as I am able to flash an earlier version or different ROM without any issues.
Has anyone tested this ROM or have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
Last few days i tried the brasilian CML1.
But in my opinion the CMK2 is much smoother and i flashed my version after fullwipe back.
I had no such problems. Even in the german forum noone reported about this.
I can't reproduce where the problem is.
You could try to flash the latest SuperSU.zip trough recovery.

I downloaded the ROM again, and although it seemed to be the same size that seemed to have worked. Really appreciate your feedback and of course the ROM update!

[Q] Custom ROMs won't boot

Hey guys, I've seen this issue before yet I've tried everything in a few threads now but have no idea what is happening,I have tried using search function yet no solution has fixed my problem.
Problem:
When installing custom ROMs the installation goes fine. I put the ROM on the sdcard, follow instructions for flashing e.g wipe data/cache etc and then flash GAPPS. However I get stuck on the boot logo of every ROM. I've tried both TWRP and CWM recoveries, both with no luck. Also tried not flashing GAPPS and just trying to flash the ROM to no avail.
Current state of phone:
The phone is currently running stock firmware via downloading factory image and flashing in boot-loader : stock boot, recovery, system image etc
The phone works fine when rooted on stock firmware. E.g no custom rom yet rooted.
Could really do with some help guys, any ideas?

same problem simple solution another user informed me of.
simply donwgrade to 4.3 JB stock rom through fastboot. Then you are able to flash a custm rom from the 4.3 stock rom.
Its crazy i have to do this but it worked for me, now im running the xperience rom which is a rom based on 4.4.2 kk.
the 4.3 android stock firmwares are linked somewhere in the FAQ's as well as the guide to ffastboot lash it.
peace.

Hey man, worked a charm thanks!
For users who may have the same problem:
After flashing 4.3 onto the device it did NOT boot.
- However I then went into the bootloader flashed custom recovery, I used cwm.
- Then I went into recovery, used adb to push the rom and gapps onto sdcard
- Full wipe and then installed rom. Then installed gapps
Working fine.
Cheers chairsz :good::good:

[Q] Help: Rom's after 4.4.2 on N8010?

Hi Everybody!
In first place thanks to everybody that reads this thread. Thanks for taking your time.
I upgraded my N8010 to the latest firmaware (4.4.2).
I have rooted and istalled a custom recovery (CWM 6.0.4.6) and installed Gnabo V.7 rom.
I am not particularly keen on TouchWiz, and I would like to move away from it.
Gnabo room (as it currenly is) reboots randmomly, and I also experience problems with my emaîl settings. (have to reconfigure sometimes...)
The issue is that after the new bootloader, it seems to be impossible to install any custom rom that is not TouchWiz 4.4.2 based.
I think that if sombedy could list the options that we have for roming, after the stock 4.4.2 update, this would really help.
Thanks again in advance.
José
Update rom
Here is what I did so far:
Stock N8010 on 4.1.2
Upgrade stock to 4.4.2
Root with Chainfire method (over ODIN)
Instal Philz Recovery
Install CM 11 unofficial rom that led to brick
Unbrick by flashing over odin 4.4.2 firmaware from sammobile
Reroot and CWM recovery 6.0.4.6.
Install Stockish rom 4.4.2 that led to brick --> sorted by backup with CWM recovery
Install OMNI rom --> Success!! only issue is to non boot over charging.
SO... OMNI rom seems to work.
See If I can try another one!

Galaxy S5 900J stock rom

Hi, my friends dad purchased a galaxy s5 (scl23 - sm900j, running 4.4.2 )from some website and its performance has been atrocious. Me and my friend have attempted to install a custom rom but have ran into issues. At first we tried to flash twrp through odin but that failed so then we tried to install twrp through twrp manager (we gained root through towel root). The main problem happened when he rebooted into the bootloader/recovery screen where he got the "could not do normal boot" message. Google says that to resolve this you flash the stock rom, so we tried googling for that but not even sammobile has the 900j stock rom. Does anyone any way to fix the problem/ what/where the 900j rom is?
edit: i think i might have found it, using SCL23 brings up results even though 900J doesnt.
follow up question: say we are able to boot back to stock rom, are there any tailored guides for the 900J on how to flash?
