hey all!
I guess someone else has experienced this:
I updated to the last available beta 2.3.5 from huawei, rooted, installed cwm 5.5.0.4, followed the guide for upgrading to aurora,(including wiping cache etc.) but im stuck on aurora boot screen. any suggestions?
EDIT:removed the battery, wiped user data again, and installed the upgrade again. SOLVED-WORKS PERFECTLY=)
I was on 4.1.1 (rooted and CWM installed, no custom rom), I heard that the update was out so got the 31 MB update and installed it through CWM. At the time of rebooting system by CWM, I disabled the recovery flash. It rebooted normally.
But after I tried to reboot it into recovery, it just get into a double loop of google logo and then reboot in ADB. I flashed the recovery again using Google Nexus Toolkit 2.0.0 but had no luck on rebooting in recovery.
I flashed the recovery with clean update of 4.1.2 full new but no luck on recovery flashing after that too. Can anybody help or is there any other way to install recovery on 4.1.2??
Have you tried installing CWM with ROM Manager? That worked for me.

There are quite a few users experiencing the same problem...myself as well. There doesn't seem to be a fix for this issue. There are a couple of threads in the Q&A sub forum on the issue. Last I check no one has found a solution.
I have this exact issue as well.
This is a temporary fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32680976&postcount=10
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
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app
i was running triforce rom 5.1 and was going to try sacs 4.4.2. it said that i had to use the new twrp or cwm recovery for 4.4.2. so i cleared all my data as i always do before flashing a new rom. then i flashed the new twrp and rebooted. now it will not reboot into recovery it starts then just reboots again. i tried putting cwm and philz back on with odin but it does the same thing. anyone know what i need to do?
edit: i tried a different version of odin and cwm loaded
