Hey all,
Today my phone crashed because of snapchat, and when it tried to reboot it got stuck on the boot animation.
I've left it running and running and it wouldn't boot any further.
I have an unlocked bootloader, running the stock 4.4.2 rom with Xposed and the Matr1x kernel (12.5).
Things i've tried:
Format cache
Clear dalvik cache
Disable xposed framework
Reboot in safe mode
Reflash system partition
Flash stock kernel
All to no avail, it still won't boot.
Do you guys have any suggestions other than a full factory reset? I definitely don't wanna lose any data.
Thanks!

Hey guys,
I've tried to flash DarkSide preFinal on my Atrix, now the phone is stuck on "Unlocked, Dual Core"-Screen.
Here's what I did:
Downloaded latest DarkSide and saved it to internal SD
Factory Reset via Recovery Console
Wipe Data
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Flashed the zip file
the process seemed to go through just fine, now when I'm trying to boot the phone it is stuck at the "Dual Core"-screen
Any ideas on how to solve this? I tried to factory-reset and wipe several times, still stuck
Any help is appreciated!
1. Do you have an unlocked bootloader?
2. Are you using a CWM-based recovery?
If you have answered yes to both 1 and 2 then:
3. Have you tried flashing the zip from the external SD?
4. Did you try to flash anything else after flashing the ROM while still in the same recovery session?
(If you answered "Yes" to #4 then re-flash the rom by itself and boot at least once before flashing anything else)
EDIT: Ignore question #1, I just realized you mentioned "Unlocked" on the boot logo.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I reflashed with Wet Dream from the external SD (newer is always better, right? ).
Everything is working now
Seems like being a great ROM.

how long did you let it sit at the loading screen?
Usually when I have boot loops, I let it sit on the loading screen for awhile(2-4 minutes). If it still doesnt boot, then I do a battery pull, and then usually after that it boots.
And if it doesn't boot just reboot into recovery mode, wipe cache, data and dalvik and reinstall the ROM again.
Sent From Rob's RP-Hybrid Atrix.
When installing any new rom, it can take a while to build up the dalvik cache again. I've had it take up to 10 min before. Best to just walk away and come back and check on it.
Guys, I desperately need help. I followed this guide to install CM7.1 nightly into my Defy and at the end I got the CM7 logo loop. Based on the guide, I took out the battery and put it back and now it's stuck at the small "Google" logo. I took out the battery again and went to the system recovery to wipe cache/factory reset. I got bunch of "mount" cache errors (command, log). I then went to the custom recovery and did the wipe cache again, this time beside "mount" cache error, there were some "open" cache errors. I did the wipe one more time and all of these errors gone. Booted it up again, and it still stuck at the "Google" screen so I went into the custom recovery trying to wipe dalvik cache as the guide said. I selected that option but nothing happened. No question asked to confirm the wipe and all it did was a short blink screen and the screen stayed the same.
Any helps would be highly appreciated !!!
That sounds a bit tricky to me, but first things first.
The first boot after installing CM7 can take a while (some minutes) since all the dalvik cache and other things has to be built. Taking out the battery during that is somewhat risky I think. After the first boot, the system starts pretty fast.
The best guess for you (at least that is what I would try) is:
go to recovery, clear dalvik cache and cache. If you have not installed CM7 before, i would also recommend to clear data as well (ok you lose you data but I hope that you were not doing it without a backup).
Then I would reflash cm7 and try again.
since you had the cm7 boot scree, I believe you have no kernel problem...
by the way, do you know what version your initial rom was?
I think it`s better to flash it from scratch:
1) Flash your previous rom with RSD
2) Root + cwm recovery
3) Cyan
(and if I were you - I would do wipe from stock recovery after 1st step and wipe from custom recovery after 3 step)
Yes, as Iddqd2 suggested just flash stock froyo using RSD Lite and then go all over for CM7 method of installation.
I got a GT-I9505, I wanted to get some change from tochwiz, so I rooted my phone using odin, install CWM recovery, download a stock rom 4.2.2, reset factory setting, wipe data, cache, as per any guide would tell you to do and install the zip file from my external sd card. But when I reboot my phone, I got passed the google logo and I'm stuck in the google animation where four circles keep joining and spliting. Would appreciate any sort of help, thank you.
Try booting without the sim or the sd card after wiping data and cache.
Hi all !
Since yesterday I'm not able to flash any ROM on my I9505. This is what happened.
Yesterday I was flashing a ROM (PACman) and on that ROM I was getting a lot of FC
so I decided to put my previous ROM back on my phone (FoxHound). After the Aroma install,
my phone reboots and keeps stuck at the splash ''Samsung'' logo screen.
This is driving me crazy. I tried to flash different ROMs with no success..
I couldn't boot my phone up, couldn't access recovery, only download mode.
After I flashed a stock firmware with Odin, I can boot up and use my phone properly.
I only can't flash any other ROMs anymore, cause it will cause my phone to keep stuck
at the ''Samsung'' logo..
Someone got a solution? Or is someone having the same problem?

Hi 123hiten,
Thank you for your reply.
- I flashed FoxHound ROM, wiped cache and dalvik cache. No success..
- I did a factory reset, wiped dflashed FoxHound ROM again, wiped cache and dalvik cache. No success.
- I flashed PhilZ recovery, did a wipe data/factory reset, flashed FoxHound ROM again, wiped cache and dalvic cache.. and again no succes..
I didn't understand what u meant in your last sentence with ''plm''?
I tried to flash the PACman ROM again, and it worked, but still I'm getting Force Close when someone calls me or if I'm trying to call someone.
I really dont know what to do now..

I don't know where to see that, but I'm sure it's XXUBMF8.
That's the stock firmware I flashed.

Hi all I have my LG G2 right now installed with the malladus-vs980-2.0.1 rom and I'm trying to install CM 11 most recent nightly. I performed a factory data reset and wipe dalvik cache and cache but still once finishing install and rebooting my phone goes into a boot loop. Is it because my baseband version is on the current 24a? If so how do revert back to 12b?
