[Q] Nexus stuck on google font - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i have a problem flashing the Sentinel 5.0 Rom with the latest Trinity kernel to my rooted Nexus 10 via recovery. I tried twice now and once it booted fine but 30 minutes after restoring my apps with Titanium backup, it stopped at the google font following a reboot.
Then i wiped everything and formatted data in recovery, flashed rom, gapps, kernel and wiped dalvik/cache and fixed the permissions.
This time around it doesn't even boot to the rom, but is stuck on the google font from the beginning.
What am i doing wrong?
Something i noticed is that TWRP tells me my device does not appear to be rooted and if i want to install supersu, not sure if this
is significant.
Thank you
edit: apparently it is not the rom. I tried another rom and another kernel and the same thing is happening.
Anything else to try other than flashing stock recovery and rom?

[Q] Bootloop on L7. Help pls!

Hello,
First, sorry for my bad english and knowledge on flash/root.
I flashed Slimbean on my P700, everything worked fine, expect of the modem. I tried other ones, but didn't work.
So I decided to change the ROM and flashed CM10.2 on my L7 which was working fine until battery was empty. After loading my phone, I wanted to start it, but it stayed in a bootloop on the boot animation. I tried everything, wipe/dalvik wipe, flashing slimbean --> still bootloop
Now I thought, maybe CM11 could work, but still the same problem, I formated everything expect of sd, wipe/dalvik wipe, flashed the ROM, Gapps and kernel, but still the bootloop...
Any ideas?
It may take a while on first boot. But if it don't load you could restore a backup of you have one or flash a kdz or use LG update tool to fix your issue. Other than that make sure you have word everything in recovery and format system, data and cache before flashing a rom. Do not flash kernel before first boot unless it's required.
I can add to that to flash ROM only without gapps just to get OS to boot correctly.
I already solved it.
I whiped everything, formatted everything except of external sd and than first only flashed the ROM and rebooted, all worked, than i installed the Gaps, rebooted, and last i flashed the kernel, now it works fine but i will never ever reboot my phone or let battery get empty ^^ no more
thanks for your help

Cant figure out how to install custom rom, without loosing root acces

Dear XDA
I have been an android user for many years and rooting has been one of the things I always did to my devices. I am an owner of a Note 3, which I have rooted succesfully and used X-NOTE 13 rom for long time. Last week I wanted to try something new and after that everything seems to be impossible. Before I install any roms I always perfom full wipe of, system, data, cache, dalvik cache etc. (I do it inside the recovery). Afterwards I tried to install CRASH ROM V9 and the progress went fine. When the phone rebooted the strange things started to happened I couldn't find the rom's extra menu and couldnt find any of the functions that the rom contained. I just thought that it was problem with the rom itself therefore I tried to went back to X-NOTE, but without any luck. The X-NOTE installed probably but I couldnt boot into it, it was stucked at the "Samsung Note 3" logo. I tried to wipe cache and dalvik but without any luck and every time I rebooted from the recovery the recovery says "it seems your device doesnt have root access" and the recovery tries to gain root access.
Then I couldnt understand anything of what was happening so I went to stock using ODIN. After installing stock rom I used CF-ROOT and everythings went smooth and I could use SuperSU inside the stock rom. Then I installed a recovery and it didn't mentioned anything about root access, so I was ready to install my custom rom...at least I thought so....I installed X-NOTE again (because I knew that this rom worked before without any problems) and after the progress was done I couldnt boot into the rom again, it was stucked. I wiped the cache and dalvik and as soon I clicked reboot in recovery it tells me that I am not rooted.
Then I did the same thing again, went back to stock, installed CF-ROOT and recovery. This time I installed CRASH ROM instead and I could boot into the system, but the rom still misses the "rooted features" etc.
In other words, what have I done wrong? I cant seem to find the problem and I think that I have tried every possible solution?
Informations:
Model: ​SM-N9005
STOCK ROM: Tried both N9005XXUENB4 (German) and N9005XXUENC2 (Nordic firmware)
Custom Rom: Tried both X-NOTE and CRASH ROM
Recoveries used: TWRP, CWM and Philz CWM
Kernels: Tried with stock one and X-NOTE kernel 1.5
I hope you can help me I cant live with stock roms
Thanks in advance

weird.
all the rom you mentioned xnote & crash come with root access inside.
When you said you used all those 3 recoveries, did you try each rom with each recovery ?
and when you flash those rom, did you follow to do a clean full wipe as mentioned on each OP thread ?
clean full wipe is not only wipe cache and dalvik, but also the data (factory reset).

Yes I have and tried several other combinations too. First time I installed X-NOTE I wiped everything and installed X-NOTE without problems.
I cant seem to break the code, I am getting frustrated hour by hour. I have double checked everything, I am on the NC2 bootloader with the NC2 kernel, when trying to install X-NOTE I get stuck at "Samsung Glaxy Note 3" - I cant understand what the problem may be and it is beginning to be personal :/ heheh
But seriously what could I have done wrong?

To be frank... I have no idea. U flash before earlier, means u know how to flash it.
What I could think of, is just the recovery.
I ve been using cwm chenglu all this time (the one reported with less bugs, and most recommended at any rom thread). And jump from rom to rom every 1 week at least with no issue.
I will try tonite use twrp to flash rom. I will let u know if I face any problem.
SOLVED

Finally, finally and finally solved!
Well it seems strange but the problem was the official kernel inside the stock roms that made it almost impossible to run any custom rom.
What I did to solve the problem:
1. Went back to stock rom using a rom with the newest baseband NC2, ex. N9005XXUENC2
1a. I did have som problems getting the bootloader updated, which means I was force to install it over ODIN 3.09 - use this bootloader NC2 BOOTLOADER (Thanks soloilmeglio for the bootloader)
2. I used CF-ROOT to gain root access
3. Then I installed CWM 6.0.4.8 recovery as recommended from antique_sonic (Updated few hours ago!)
4. Install the CivZ-SnapKat-Rev3.1-sm_n9005-4.4.2.zip kernel
5. Lets the phone reboot and check that everything works!
7: Boot into recovery and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache
8. Install the custom rom
Dont ask me why the kernel wasn't working from beginning and why it was "corrupted" after installing another custom rom - but now everything works as it should!
Thank you very much antique_sonic for helping me!

It could probably be a problem with TWRP as you mentioned earlier. After using CWM everything went smooth after updating my kernel. Last night I couldnt hold me back to try one more time, and I flashed X-NOTE with TWRP and I got the same problem as described in #1 post. Then I installed CWM and flashed X-NOTE again and everything got messed up. Then I restored everything, force installed the kernel and bootlaoder. After that installed CWM and then I was able to run X-NOTE without any problem.
I am not a professional developer but I may think that the problem is TWRP when it tries to flash the kernel under the process with may results in some problems. When using CWM from the beginning I do not get any problems but when using TWRP I need to restore everything back.

Bootloop, again

Was on cloudy's latest gpro2 rom with dorimatrix 4.8.1, updated to 4.9 and wiped cache and dalvic cache and upon first boot everything I would click force closed after a minute or so so I attempted rebooting. It would then go into a bootloop. I adb rebooted into recovery, wiped the caches, and flashed 4.8.1. It now did the same thing as it did before, followed by a bootloop when I rebooted it. Decided to try flashing to a different rom, so I did a complete backup and sent over the latest CM11 nightly. Wiped all and flashed, and now I'm bootlooping at the CM screen with no recovery access.
I remembered when I was already bootlooping that I needed to flash the 4.2.2 partitions to use an AOSP roms. A little too late huh. Now I'm stuck at the CM bootanimation and no ADB. Are my only options to use mobile odin and start over from or can you guys come up with something else?

Fixed it... realized I still had recovery active, booted into it with the button combo, wiped, installed cloudy pro, all is good.

Nexus 4 Stuck at starting app when not on Stock

Short Story: My phone works fine when its stock 4.4.4 , no root. If i root it and flash a custom recovery using WUG it gets stuck on starting ups.
Long Story: I was running the latest version of PA, rebooted my phone because of a franco kernel update, and it got stuck on the bootscreen. Tried everything, couldnt get it to boot, so I finally flashed stock using WUG, it worked. I then rooted and flashed custom recovery, and it got stuck on starting apps. Flashed stock again and it worked, repeated the root, and it got stuck on starting apps.
Anybody know whats going on?

You should do a CLEAN install, wipe dalvik / cache / System and Data, the last two ones are very important to wipe, otherwise you got stuck on boot.
It is best to flash your rom using recovery and forget the toolkit, just upload your rom on your N4, get to recovery => install => choose the rom, that's it.

I did all that before, and it still didn't work.
I think your problems are related to flashing the recovery, did you try to revert back the the old one ?

No rom is booting up properly

EDIT: the problem is solved, see my last post
Hey guys,
I'm not new to installing roms, as I did with my SGS 2 before. But I haven't done it for a long time and it's the first time I do it on my SGS 5... with no success at all.
The problem is that, out of all the roms I've tried, none of them boot up entirely without crashes. I've followed the instructions to the letter and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Here's what I had before starting to fiddle:
SGS 5 G900F, no specific carrier, bought in Europe
stock android/touchwiz 5.0, never rooted or anything
Here are the roms I have tried:
cynaogen 5.1.1 12.1 20150508 for klte + these gapps http://teambliss.x10host.com/BlissStalk/Gapps/ --> stays blocked on the samsung logo forever
BlissPop 5.1.1 v3.3 20150515 for klte + pa_gapps-stock-5.1-20150418-signed or pa_gapps-modular-full-5.1-20150418-signed --> google newstand and another google app are crashing in a loop during the setup, I can't tap any button
PAC 5.1.1 20150503 for klte + pa_gapps-stock-5.1-20150418-signed or pa_gapps-modular-full-5.1-20150418-signed --> the install wizard application itself is crashing in a loop
THe kernels I've tried:
KT-SGS5-LP5.1-AOSP-G900-05.02.2015
boeffla-kernel-2.0-beta8-CM12.1-g900f.recovery
My recovery:
twrp-2.8.6.0-klte (flashed with Odin, it works fine, and I could boot the stock rom without problems with it)
Any idea about the cause of the problem?
Thanks
I guess if you are not new to stuff like this, you have 100% wiped everything before flashing in TWRP recovery, and factory reset / wiped caches after flashing the ROM and Gapps?

Yes, before and between installing different roms, I wiped everything: system, cache, dalvik, internal storage
I've also flashed twrp previous version 2.8.5.0, and philz touch recovery. They all work fine, but still can't boot any rom
Strangely, I now works using this version of CM 12.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ent/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-android-5-1-t3066252
I have no idea why I had all these crashes and boot problems with the other 3 roms.
Cheers
Odd.
