I know it has been asked before, and I have searched the threads. reverting to stock is not a problem.
nexus 7 grouper when installing a custom rom (liquid smooth v2.9 specifically) I get stuck on the liquid boot image.
I have successfully installed v2.7 and am able to revert back to stock or custom.
after a data format, factory reset, and wiping all caches, installing the zip file from abd sideload, or directly from the device the new rom that has flashed will not get past the boot image. am I doing something wrong, or could I do something differently so that the new v2.9 boots up correctly?
I know it has been asked, but the most common answer is to go back to stock. okay, I get that. but I know this rom will run (it is flawless on my s3,) but I cant seem to get it working on the nexus.
thank you.

There have been numerous reports of bootup problems with "clean" LiquidSmooth ROMs in v2.7, 2.8 and 2.9.
Some possible solutions are:
Dirty flash on top of a LS ROM that boots (for instance dirty flash 2.9 on top of 2.7). When doing this you DON'T clear data and cache, but flashes new rom directly, along with gapps and kernel, and boots up. This has worked for some.
Another option when you get stuck on boot screen is to boot into recovery, and do factory reset and clear caches one more time, and try to reboot. It might take several times booting into recovery, and clear data/caches before it boots up, but again this has worked for some.
Finally you could also try the order in which you flash stuff. For instance try ONLY flashing rom, then reboot. If it works, then flash gapps. If it gets stuck, try flashing both rom and gapps in recovery, then reboot etc.
Hope that gives you something to play with! And I'm pretty sure that if you're insistent enough, you will eventually get it to boot! :good:

I will keep trying. getting liquid to run on the fascinate was curious as well, but after a few flashes it took. I'll keep trying on the nexus.
Update: yes, persistence is the key. thanks
What I did was from v2.8 a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik and flash from sideload
as expected it boot looped. manually booted into fastboot and flashed v2.9 again with only a cache and dalvik wipe.
this time it booted and I flashed gapps.
at the reboot I set up the rom to my liking and it seems to boot normally now.

Yes, after it boots through the first time, I've only seen it boot normal from that point on.
Hey guys,
I'm not a total scrub at flashing roms and there's still a bunch of things that I don't understand. I'm pretty positive that I flashed Slimrom correctly but here's the situation.
Started on 4.2.2 Slimrom
Reboot to TWRP recovery
Format factory reset/format data, system, cache, dalvik cache
Flash Slimrom 4.3 stable build 1
Successfully reboots into 4.3
Okay now here's the weird part.
The first time I rebooted back into recovery to flash gapps. After I flashed gapps and tried to reboot into the rom, the phone freezes at the screen with "google" and the unlock sign on the bottom. The only way I can get it to boot into the rom again is if I reformat/reset EVERYTHING (including format data) and reflash 4.3. After a few tries of messing around with not wiping dalvik/cache and stuff I realized that even if I don't flash gapps it still freezes on the google screen. So here's my main problem
After flashing 4.3 slimrom, the phone boots into the rom only once. If I try restarting my phone it freezes on the "google" screen.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Just to clarify it's a LG Google Nexus 4 mako.
Sorry if I'm being redundant. I just want to give as much detail as possible. If you need anymore info let me know!
Thanks

Are you flashing the right Gapps package? Be sure you are flashing the latest 4.3 one.

Yep I'm positive. I redownloaded both the 4.3 rom and gapps package multiple times just to make sure. Also it doesn't reboot even if I don't flash gapps. Doesn't boot at all if I flash both the rom then gapps at the same time.
bump
then, wipe data/factory reser and flash the stock rom. the rom might be the problem

It works for everyone else though. It's Slimrom 4.3 stable build 1.
Rom isn't the problem.Slim rom beta 1(4.3) is super stable. Use any version of twrp recovery other than 2.6.1.0 and wipe system+data,flash slim rom,flash slim gapps,reboot.
Note: if you flashed franco kernel then this may be the issue for your bootloop also you may want to upgrade your bootloader and radio to 4.3 versions(bootloader more important)
Hello,
I upgraded my Verizon Galaxy S4 from CM11 to CM12 last night, using the nightly build from 1/7/2015. The upgrade went smoothly, except for gapps. I have not been able to get them to successfully run on Lollipop. I have tried the following builds of gapps:
PA GAPPS
2014-11-09
2014-12-20
I use the following installation process each time:
Boot into CWM 6.0.3.2
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
mounts and storage > format /system
wipe dalvik cache
install CM.zip
install gapps.zip
When I reboot the phone, it gets into the lock screen as expected, but when I swipe it to unlock, I instantly get a stream of errors ("Setup wizard has stopped", "Google+ has stopped", etc). The exact errors depend on which gapps version I install, since they come with (slightly) different apps in the packages.
Has anyone had success with the Lollipop gapps packages and CyanogenMod?

I tried that one again - no dice. com.google.process.gapps crashes on startup, followed by a long list of other Google apps included in the package.
Same problem.

Any fix for this? I've been struggling with it for a whole day now.
I have not found a fix. I reverted back to KitKat since I needed to use my phone during the week.
Bump
I finally managed to fix the problem. All the clean flashes did nothing, and I made sure they were squeaky clean, so I decided to start from scratch. I ODIN'd back to stock, installed TWRP instead of Clockworkmod, and reinstalled the rom and gapps package. I booted into the setup wizard and all is right in the world. Thanks for all who helped me!
Do you know what version of CWM you were running? I might try updating it over the weekend and see if that works as an alternate solution.
Try this. This worked for me.

Before adding gapps after flashing cm-12 wipe dalvik and cache, flash ktoonz lollipop kernel then flash gapps for lollipop. This worked for me.

Hey I'm having the same problem, can you describe how in Odin you got back to stock? You flashed stock and lost your custom recovery? That's weird, I figured a custom recovery was like a bios
Hey guys, I ran into a rather odd issue yesterday and can't for the life of me figure out how to get my phone back to normal..
I upgraded TWRP to 3.0.2-0, wiped data, system, dalvik/cache, and attempted to install AOSiP 4.1 + Banks 4/08 Gapps, but after the boot, I get "Unfortunately SetupWizard has stopped", and after getting through the setup, "Unfortunately Theme Provider has stopped", if I click the Theme app it FC's.
This happens on EVERY single ROM I try to install, except Resurrection Remix. (The ROM I was on before flashing AOSiP.) I have tried going back to stock MHC19Q and starting fresh, but I still get FC's. I have also tried every recent TWRP, and MultiROM TWRP. Nothing is working.
Please help...
Edit: @big nu has the same issue..

Are you fastbooting the factory images or trying to flash the stock firmware through twrp? If you haven't, fastboot the images including the recovery.

I fastboot everything. I flashed the stock image from my PC but still no luck...
Perhaps any layers installed?
If so, try removing them from inside TWPR and see if it boots then without FCs.

No Layers were previously installed at all. I was last on a CMTE ROM. I checked /Vendor, just to be sure..

So you fastbooted back to stock and booted into the stock system? And you get those issues in the stock firmware?

Yes, exactly. I don't understand how this is even possible,
especially after wiping and going back to stock many times.
Literally every ROM installation ends the same.

1) When you fastboot flash back to stock after a custom rom, what is your process? Do you perform a factory reset in TWRP prior to using fastboot?
2) Are you verifying the MD5 of the factory image prior to flashing?
3) What is the file name of the factory image you are using?
4) Are you able to reproduce this issue with different gapps packages, say Open gapps or an older/newer version of Banks gapps?
4) Are you downloading each of these files over WiFi or Mobile Data onto your phone?
5) Are you also checking the MD5 of each zip prior to flashing?
Based on your post, it looks like you are using one gapps zip and experiencing this issue on every rom. This sounds like a corrupt gapps zip.

1. Yes, before flashing the stock image I boot into TWRP and factory reset, I have also tried wiping everything including internal storage in my many attempts to save this phone.
2. No, in all my years on an Android I have never had to check an MD5 and to be perfectly honest I don't really understand how to check MD5's.
3. angler-mhc19q-factory-f5a4e7a1.tgz
4. Yes every Gapps package causes the same outcome. I have tried Slim Gapps, OpenGapps, and Banks Gapps, I have tried downloading them first on my phone, then tried downloading everything fresh from my PC and moving them to my internal storage.
5. Again, not to sure on how to verify these MD5's..
I have tried multiple ROMs, and multiple Gapps. All flashes end the same. I also tried every newer version of TWRP and gone back to stock over 6 times in the past 2 days.
Edit: I'm starting to think that this issue could be related to my Google Account and restoring my device through the Setup, because I have flashed a ROM (DU 04/08) and made it through the setup with no FC's, so long as I don't sign into my Google Account. If I sign in FC's galore and occasional random reboots. I am also experiencing very slow download speeds on LTE and WiFi when downloading Gapps or a different ROM.

Yes sir, I found a more or less, temporary fix to get around the FC's. I wiped my phone completely, several times, and flashed the stock MHC19Q image a few times and used TWRP 3.0.2-0 to flash DU 04/08, Nano OpenGapps 04/14, and totally avoided signing into my Google Account. After rebooting I signed into Google. No FC's!!! Yay! Then waited 3 hours for my contacts to be synced. (App data was also gone from Settings>Accounts for some reason for 3+ hours) after 3 hours of waiting, everything seems to be working again... For the time being. I'm now scared to flash a ROM other then DU, and my Restorations on 3.0.2-0 have taken over 300+ seconds, but before (3.0.0-1) a restoration was just over 60 seconds...
Weird stuff going on here for sure but at least I got DU! ?

I had a problem like that. What I did was
Boot into Recover - TWRP 2.8 something
Did the Wipe Data / Factor Reset
Flashed The Rom - For me it was Pure Nexus - April 7, 2016
Flashed The Kernel - For Me Element X
Then wiped Davlik/Cache
Then after that I rebooted let it do what it had to do to boot up. Then rebooted to recovery
Then flashed the GAPPS - for me i used BaNkS-Dynamic-GApps-6.x.x-10-20-15
Then wiped DAvlik/Cache
Then rebooted and let it do its thing again. - I did not get any system startup failed.
Maybe you can not flash the GAPPS all together because the phone is a smart phone but it can still be DUMB.. LOL
Then I did not do a restore of apps from the automatic thing when it asks I just went to pla stoer and let it download what I needed from the my app section.
I'm still facing issues, but at least there are painfully long fixes to make everything work normally... Just pissed, every other android phone I have had, never faced such a persistent issue with rooting and flashing custom ROMs. Especially after restoring to stock..
Sorry to bump this thread, just hoping someone may have a suggestion that may fix up this rather odd issue I've been plagued with?
Quick fix for anyone else facing this:
Downgrade to MHC19I and when flashing recovery, flash TWRP 3.0.0-1, then format userdata in fastboot, copy your files over via PC and flash ROM + Gapps.
I was messing with some apps and after reboot i got message system ui has stopped
So i flashed my stock ROM using odin, and again it says system ui has stopped when it boots up, everything is just black, just white window saying system ui has stopped

when i ended with that problem in stock, the only thing that worked was flashing stock, enabling usb debugging, flashing recovery, then wipe everything & format /data, then flash again via odin and then u have a stable stock from wich u can repeat the process to flash another rom or stay there. maybe im paranoid but it works.
edit: since u are already in stock, try first flashing recovery and start the process from there with all the wipes.
always make a backup guys, nandroid really can save your ass
