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?

Hi guys,
I'm having a weird problem. I've used a i9100 and i9300 in the past and have flashed hundreds of different ROMs, kernels and recoveries. I was running WanamLite on my i9505 until I wanted to switch to PAC Alpha 4.3. I had a few problems installing it (didn't want to go past the boot logo) but eventually with TWRP it worked. I wasn't too happy with the alpha version (freezes here and there) and switched to Omega 9 4.2.2. Installed Xposed framework, rebooted and got stuck on boot. I couldn't access the recovery immediately, first I had to remove the battery, wait and after a few tries I was in the recovery. Removing Xposed framework, wiping data, cache, dalvik cache didn't help Omega 9 to boot up. I re-installed Omega 9 and did a restart without installing Xposed framework, and it froze on boot. Same thing happened when I installed WanamLite, Echoe and Google Experience ROMs and did a restart after the successful first boot after installation.
The only way to get past this problem is to:
a) flash the pre-rooted, original Samsung MGA ROM
b) enter recovery and wipe data/factory reset
If I skip b) then it will just enter a boot loop (boot halfway, reset, boot halfway, reset...)
It's driving me crazy. I do not want to use the original ROM and have no idea what is causing this behavior. I appreciate your help.
Here the information of the working MGA ROM:
4.2.2
I9505XXUBMGA
3.4.0-1081224

This happens with many including me some time with many diffrnt files chainging and overwriting causes the same
Best option as u said above flash stock firmware
Then u can try what I feel will work better in ur case
Root the phone with CF root method
Flash Philz Recovery
wipe cache / dalvik / ix perm and reboot and go ahead with ur Rom flashing
Ok, flashed the stock ROM which was not rooted, then rooted using CF's method and flashed PhilZ. I couldn't find the option to fix permissions in PhilZ recovery, and went ahead with the installation of Omega 9 after wiping. I couldn't even get Omega to boot, previously it worked on the first boot and then no longer after a restart.
I don't know whats going on here.
I'm flashing the pre-rooted MGA now.

Pre-rooted MGA works fine, but no other custom ROM.
I ran TriangleAway to reset the counter, but that didn't help either. No third party custom ROMs for me. :crying:
Flash latest Philz recovery.
Go to mounts and storage.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A ROM ON SD CARD.
Format system, cache, data and preload.
then just to be sure everything is gone I go to wipe /data factory reset and choose the wipe to install a new rom.
Then go to install zip and flash rom.
Once it's flashed you should be good to reboot.
If you're still in a bootloop then go to wipe/data factory reset but choose first option not the one to install rom.
Now reboot again, good to go!
Just a thought, if you're still having trouble flash a AOSP kernel in Philz as you might be trying to boot an AOSP rom with a TW kernel installed

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)
I rooted my phone and installed the cyan fox rom in December and it was working flawlessly, but yesterday it would randomly shut down and then get stuck in a boot loop or wouldn't boot up. So i installed a stock rom and there are no problems with that. Today I installed cyanogen mod on now the problem is coming up again. I have tried wiping dalvik cache, factory resting and that doesn't seem to do much.

Install Stock Rom again or ask in Cyanogenmod community
Recovery
What recovery are you using? Is it the latest version?
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 ?
I downloaded Imperium ROM from a thread on xda and installed it. I wiped data, wiped cache and dalvik and installed zip. Then I rebooted and it showed a downloading screen, after a little bit of research it's called download mode or ODIN mode. Now what's happening is whenever I try to reboot, it shows the S4 i9505 screen (i think it's called a splash screen, thats what someone called it) and freezes. After about 10-15 seconds, reboots into recovery. I've got CWM installed and I've ran out of ideas. The volume buttons are not being touched and for some reason recovery and download mode are always being booted into, never the OS.
I'm also new so anything I've done wrong, I'd love to know.
CWM recovery is outdated and should not be used anymore. Instead only use TWRP. Flash it trough Odin in the same way you flashed CWM.
You say that you only wiped data, cache and dalvik. You also HAVE to wipe /system. Otherwise the rom will probably not boot.

Update I tried to install albe95's s6 port. I've noticed something and it's that both ended up with Statuc 7 or some word that started with "S" and had the number 7. Googled that and turns out it's bad. I formatted /System and installed the ROM, it worked!
I guess there was just no OS to boot into. Going to try installing Imperium now.
Status 7 errors can occur if the recovery is outdated. What recovery is on the phone?
