Can't change bootanimation - Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I was trying to apply a new bootanimation from a CM12 theme (i'm on CM12.1 by Rox), it seemed to be okay but when I rebooted the system, the bootanimation appeared and then blocked after about 2-3 seconds, then the phone powers off and reboots, with the same result.
I restored a nandroid backup and now it's ok. After that, I tired another time to change the bootanimation with another one, but everytime I have the same problem: when I change bootanimation, it blocks and I can't boot system. Is there someone that knows how to fix that?

my g1 is inconsistent

been messing about with the g1 a bit, flashing various roms and whatnot but i seem to be getting some very odd problems, for example when restoring the backup i took before messing about today it simply wont boot past the g1 screen, so i switched to a backup made yesterday and it booted, so i stuck my custom boot anim on and restarted, now it wont boot past the boot anim, it just keeps looping the animation forever
ive done full wipes with ohsaka and wiped data and cache but no change, what concerns me is that by all rights the backups should load fine right? i mean they were working perfectly before and all i have done is restore it (which worked fine yesterday) even in the case above surely changing the boot animation shouldnt have an effect on the phone actually booting should it. anyone else had previously working backups suddenly not work?
You said you stuck your custom boot animation on and it started boot looping? Maybe that is the problem? Try it without.

Android stuck in a boot loop

Hello all together,
I've got a huge problem: My tablet is stuck in a boot loop, it shows the boot animation and the Nvidia tegra logo alternating and does not go beyond it.
And that's what happened:
- I couldn't install OTA2.5 since I deleted some system apps and couldn't restore them with titanium
- so I changed the update-script within the update.zip , so that some patches were neither checked nor applied
- I forgot to delete the commands concerning the install-recovery (that was the mistake)
- so after applying the update via CWR, it started booting, but got stuck.
- I thought I could restore an image with CWR, but during boot, the old android recovery was restored
- I already tried a cache wipe / factory reset, but neither does help to get out of the boot loop
Does anybody have an idea what to do?
here are my ideas:
- write a new update-script to get CWR back (probably won't work since the recovery checks the zip-signature)
- find a way to restore the original lenovo ROM (is there a signed version which I could use?)
- send it to lenovo (do I have any chance that they flash the original rom?)
I'd be really happy if anybody has an idea what to do.
Thanks, lump
I think it could be send to Lenovo.
Just said that you got problem during OTA 2.5 (not enough battery or something else) and you got bootloop.
The problem is in deleting some neccessery apps. Download OTA again from Lenovo server manually and install it with original ie. installed recovery.
Thank you for your advice, I think I will try to send it back to Lenovo.
I already tried installing the OTA2.5 update manually, but it aborts during the assert tests, since some apps are missing.
Does anybody know, if the ICS update will be incremental as the OTA updates before? If not, it might be possible to install it.
You could send a pm to bsnf, Mark_Lenovo, or someotherguy at the Lenovo forums and ask if they would please send you the full system image for your tablet. They might be willing to help, that is your best shot without sending it back.

Boot loop on CM 12 causes by Mind Theme

Hi Guys
I just want to warn you guys about Mind Theme (CM12 theme). After I installed and used Mind theme on my Oneplus One with Blisspop ROM, it causes my phone to get stuck in boot loop after reboot my phone. You won't have problem using the theme but whenever you reboot your phone it will get stuck in boot loop. I tried to solve the problem by following an instruction on one forum by deleting theme folder (data/system/theme) but I was unable to delete the whole folder by using TWRP. At least I was able to delete the boot animation file and my phone ultimately reboot to Blisspop animation again; however, my phone got stuck in Blisspop boot loop this time and I eventually had to restore and flashed new ROM. If any one has solution for this it will be very helpful. I don't think I am the only one that has this problem. By the mean time, stay away from Mind Theme for now until they make changes.

Moving backup to another phone - stuck on CM splash screen

Hi I have two nexus 4 phones Running CM 12.1 (20151007 build) and I'm trying to create a backup from one and move it to the other one.
For some reason after restore CM is stuck on the splash screen I can open an ADB shell into the phone but it never goes past
the splash.
Clearing the cache doesn't help.
I tried installing fresh ROM on the phone and only recovering the data partition in this case the phone seems to boot
and I even get the UI running for a few seconds but when but when the UI actually shows up all services and UI crashes and I cannot go past the screen lock.
Any help would be appreciated

AT&T LG v20 (H910) boots to AT&T logo and hangs

Hello Anyone,
I have the LG v20 rooted for some time now with Android N and working good.
Two days ago, I removed some apps with titanium backup and i think one of them was a facebook installer apk, one was the visual voicemail apk and the other was something like tether provision apk. Then I placed the phone on a charge for a bit.
When I came back to the phone, it seemed to have rebooted but was stuck on the AT&T logo after the LG Logo. I did a battery pull and same thing. I removed the sim card, same thing happened. Since it was hot, I let it cool and then tried again, no difference.
I backed up the partitions and then did a wipe and reinstalled the rom, it works taking me to the homescreen. I then tried to reinstall the backup and it goes back to the AT&T logo and hangs.
Is there any way to figure out what file I deleted that is causing the hang and how to put it back with TWRP so I can start booting the phone properly again?
Thanks.

No it won't just wipe system, davlik, and cache also don't forget to flash supersu or magisk right after you flash the rom before you boot to system

ok, thanks. I ran into some trouble when i did that where my phone was asking for the passcode and eveytime i entered it, it came back as the wrong code. Then my phone rebooted into TWRP after the 10th attempt and then got stuck in a TWRP boot loop.
I got out of the twrp boot loop and reflashed the rom, then restored only my data file since my system file backup was not booting (original problem)
In case anyone else has this issue, if you have the TWRP recovery and your phone does a reboot into the recovery for factory reset, your phone will only reboot into TWRP unless you do a battery pull (or force shutdown) and then manually boot the phone into TWRP, then reboot into the system.
