I've got Cyanogen 11.2 Nightlies and I've been having issues with various apps, etc. So I keep updating the nightlies and what winds up happening is that it will get stuck on the Samsung screen with the unlocked padlock pretty much forever. In order for me to get around this I have to factory reset and re-install the latest nightly and GAPPs.
What are my options here? Am I missing something that I need to do?
Please let me know if you need anymore information to better assist me.
Regards,
inxile.
assume you are on an i337 att
first thing i would do is a fresh flash--too many dirty flashes can give issues--what recovery are you on?
if twrp, and I prefer 2.5.0.2, go thru advanced wipe and manually wipe system/data/caches 3x. don't do any resets/formats.
when you first boot into rom let it settle then reboot then set up phone
on the apps you can go into recovery and wipe caches and fix permissions
if still no luck, try backing up to pc and then reformatting internal card

So ive had my n7 for a while and had over 10 different roms that i went through before landing on cookies and cream for 4.1.2 and cyanogenmod for 4.2.1
Well heres the problem. i was getting pissed off at all of the bugs and random reboots and incompatabilities so i fully wiped the device, minus bootloader, and flashed stock 4.1.2, it booted great
heres where it went wrong... i tried flashing cyanogenmod 10 via twrp, letting it use its stock kernel and even trying a different cm compatible kernel after booting failed.
when that didnt work i went back to stock, downloaded cookies and cream, wiped the rom, cache and dalvik cache. still bootloops
so i was like F**k it, and installed stock 4.2.1, booted fine.
tried again with the 2 latest cyanogenmod nightlies, which i know worked fine from before
still just bootloops with no idea how to fix it.
just to be clear, stock works, custom WILL NOT
bump guys, im kinda up **** creek without a paddle, emphasis on the kinda part
I have a similar problem(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073977). Pretty much the only way I can get a ROM to stick is if I wipe /data as well. Not sure what's causing this, but I'm working on it. I think it could have something to do with the way that android stores some of it's /system data in /data at times
What's worked for me to flash a ROM other than stock, is to wipe the entire thing, and then use adb sideload to load the ROM.
Hey bro, i saw your thread before, by data, do you mean internal storage or just the system rom itself, because i wiped everything but the bootloader and started from scratch
I'm just talking about /data. An hour ago I noticed that as long as I use the Factory Reset option in TWRP, it will wipe it, and not touch the stuff on the sdcard(it could be just me though, my Nexus seems to be kinda weird). Then I wipe system, and flash whatever I need to.
Alright, one problem though, doing a factory reset deletes everything on the sdcard then when i try to use fastboot to flash cyanogenmod in a zip format it says stuff like android-product-info.txt is missing and whatnot, what do you do?
edit, dont read the part about wiping storage, i had a idiot moment there, ill give it a shot
My issue is this -- my phone will be running fine for days, even weeks, and will then spontaneously reboot. The phone will then get stuck on the Android "Starting Applications" step and never get any further. I've attempted to wipe cache and Dalvik, and even gone so far as to re-flash the ROM I happen to be running at the time.
This has happened to me at least a half dozen times, and it's starting to frustrate me. I've had this issue with at least 4 different ROMS, including CM 10.1, PA, AOKP, and at least one mixed feature ROM. The only solution I've found at this point is to do a factory reset and system wipe and start from scratch.
Any suggestions on what I might try next time? I'm really at a loss.
dont wipe or clear data after you flash a rom. flash rom and if it installs correctly then clear the cache and thats it. then let it reboot
i used to get stuck in that same screen, but thats because i was clearing data after i had flashed a rom. hopefully that helps
Had this issue. Do a stock flash with the toolkit
Sent from my Nexus 4 @1.67 GHz on Stock 4.2.2
go to recovery, do a factory data reset.
My N4 doesn't seem to pass the Google Screen. I flashed a new rom because for some reason I stopped receiving messages but could make phone calls. I was on PAC now I tried to flash Revolt 4.4 but now it will not pass the Google Screen. Also, I am on twrp if that helps. I have used normal wipe. then advanced wiping the system,cache,data. Anyone know how to fix this?
-Thanks !

When you say normal wipe, do you mean wipe data/factory reset? If you haven't tried that, try it then flash a new ROM and then gapps. If your problem still persists then you would probably have to revert to stock ROM (factory image)
You may have gotten a bad download of the ROM, or some other problem with the zip. If you still have the zip of your last ROM (always a good idea until you know the new one boots), then try flashing it. If not, as suggested above, revert to stock and start over.

With factory image will my phone be completly erased?
And I mean with when you go to twrp recvoery the normal wipe. Not Factory Reset the standard wipe data and cache.
Fixed it.
Kind of bummed out right now. It seems TWRP recovery was bugged somehow. It didn't let me wipe anything at all. even when it said it did which is odd. I had to perform a factory reset. I'm glad about the phone now booting up. Just a little bummed out all those pics I took on the 4th of July are gone.
Hi, thanks for looking at this.
I have a Galaxy S 4 Google Edition phone. I rooted it, and I have TWRP 2.5.0.2 running on it. I have backed up my system a few times.
I tried flashing a rom of cyanogenmod for the first time today, cm-10.1-20130801-NIGHTLY-jfltexx.zip (http://get.cm/get/jenkins/36550/cm-10.1-20130801-NIGHTLY-jfltexx.zip)
I wasn't having any luck with the boot, so I turned to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370101, which utilized a modified updater-script. That still was giving me no dice, so I tried editing the updater-script myself. Cyanogenmod boot-up appears! . . . and then it just keeps spinning. I turn off phone, boot into custom recovery, factory reset phone, try again. Same deal, try it again. Factory reset again, then I try restoring my device so that I can try again with different parameters. TWRP says that the restore is successful. This turns out to be not true, however, as when I reboot, the Google logo shows up, vanishes, and then nothing happens.
This is where I'm stuck. I can boot into TWRP, but that's it. Everytime I try to wipe dalvik or data, it fails. Restores supposedly work, but they don't, no matter if I'm restoring just system, or system data and cache. I have tried mounting my sd card so that I might load another rom, but even though TWRP says "USB Storage Mounted", nothing happens.
I'm completely at a loss here. I simply can't afford to brick a $700 phone. This is crazy.
PLEASE HELP

PROBLEM FIXED!
Hi!
I recently updated my ROM to the Paranoid Android 3.98, I did a full wipe, flashed the ROM, latest Gapps (with TWRP) and ever since the tablet has been become really laggy on opening apps or doing anything. I realised something was wrong straight after I booted it up by how long it was taking to connect to the WIFI etc.
Anyway, its hanging a lot on the unlock screen and sometimes I get a "Process System is not Responding" prompt. I've tried going back into recovery and clearing the caches/data again and its still hanging. Ive also tried using CWM recovery to wipe the tablet, flash the ROM/Gapps etc and its still really slow. Lastly, I just tried a factory reset from the settings menu and again, its still the same!
Any ideas on whats up with it and how to sort it out? I was thinking about unrooting it back to stock although I think the problem will still probably happen. I came from the PA 3.95 build and did a clean flash.
Cheers!
Chris
I think I have fixed it by following a post by Chasmodo on how to do a super-clean install.
1) I booted into recovery.
2) Did the three wipes (Data, Cache, Dalvik) several times over.
3) Went to Mount & Storage and formatted both system & cache*.
4) Flashed PA 3.98 & latest PA-Gapps.
5) Wiped both caches again and rebooted.
As soon as connecting WIFI, signing into Google I could tell it was running a lot faster again and now the lag on the unlock screen & opening apps seems to have stopped, also haven't had the "System Process isn't Responding since."
*Chasmodos version of the super-clean install didn't say to format the cache as well although I had tried just formatting the system and it didn't fix the issue. So I thought I'd try the same process with a cache format as well and now all issues seem to have been rectified.
Cheers
