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

Hi All,
I've searched across forum to find also similar cases, but no results so far.
I have a N4 with TWRP and CM (previously running 10.1.2)
Today I decided to install the new 10.2.
Installation went fine but after the restart I've noticed some strange behaviour with some applications (missing from phone, but installed for my play store account)
I've decided to reboot again the phone, and since that time I'm stuck with the black start up Google screen (the one with the lock at the bottom).
Entered recovery mode, I've wiped Dalvik, Cache and System, but no results, rebooting is always stuck on Google screen (I've also left it there for 15+ minutes, no changes)
I've tried to install a previous ROM (zip available on phone storage) but no result even in this case.
Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated, even a link pointing to similar case happened in the past.
Let me know if any further detail may be needed to better understand the situation
Thanks!
mh a wipe/factory reset should be working...
Try pushing a different rom with ADB to your device, then flash it.

This is usually happening when you don't flash something right. I'd go back, flash it all again with wiping everything and flashing it by the right order and stuff. If it doesn't work, as written above, flash other ROM through ADB or something similar.
Besides, you could always restore your nandroid backup, and if you don't have one, learn from your mistake
Good luck

To be honest, I've already tried to revert back to previous CM and even to the factory image from Google, but it always hang on the google screen.
I've not yet Format/completely wiped the phone, and that's my last option.
Once I'm done with the manual backup I'm doing via adb shell, I will try again to flash a new ROM, and see what happen.
Definitely I'm learning from my mistakes
I had CM11 snapshot M5 running on my tablet and out of the blue I had Google Plus f/c on me while not in use. Then Chrome f/c while not in use, then I think it was YouTube f/c when not in use. I restarted the tablet and it got to the CM loading screen, then restarted itself and now it will not go past the intro screen with the Google logo and the lock at the bottom. It will sit on the Google screen for about 10 seconds then reboot and it just keeps doing that.
I managed to get into TWRP and updated to TWRP 2.7.0.0 I have 2 ROM zips in my cmupdater folder on my sd so I did a full wipe and tried to install both of those, but they have the same outcome of going to the Google screen then rebooting.
If anyone can help that would be so much appreciated. Nothing was updated but apps from what I can tell so I have no idea what happened and why it is still happening after a full wipe and fresh flash.
On my i747 I installed Omni ROM 4.4.3-20140620-d2lte-HOMEMADE. After install and reboot I noticed the load time was in excess of five minutes from the moment the Omni logo splash appears. Is this normal? I can't be sure but I think each boot takes longer, (so tired right now). Any suggestions?
I am experiencing the same. I flashed to my SPH-l710 using the latest from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591298.
I would love to go back to using this rom. I absolutely love it miles above CM but the boot time is easily in excess of 10 minutes.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Talk to whomever provided the build, as that is not an officially supported device (in addition to not being present at dl.omnirom.org - the HOMEMADE part of the filename is a dead giveaway).
First bootup after installation is always long - if subsequent boots are long there's a problem though.
It is normal if it is your first boot after flashing new rom...
It just that the Android is installing (preparing apps for first use)
The same will happen when you clear Dalvik cache or change runtime from Dalvik to ART.
If it is the same on second and other boot then it is problem with your rom
Dodgy apps (or heaps of apps) can cause that too. Is it still slow if you do a factory reset ? (do a backup before hand so you can restore all your data). As pointed out above if you do a factory reset the initial boot will still be slow
Thanks everyone. I went ahead and wiped the drive then installed CM11 for the i747 (d2att) and all is well with booting. One day I will check out omnirom again because the features are just insane!
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.
At this point I have completely run out of options. I AM CALLING UPON THE XDA COMMUNITY TO PLEASE HELP ME. Little bit of background info, nexus 6p was rooted and modified through xposed. Had some modules installed, mostly quality of life and visual/theme modules, as well as the latest version of SuperSU.
These past few days my Nexus 6P has completely stopped responding at times. Extremely laggy and could not do **** with it, systemui kept restarting over and over and over again for no reason. Had to keep force rebooting (holding down the power button for 10 seconds) multiple times over and over again, to the point where it suddenly stopped booting into the OS, it just kept giving me the boot animation loop, i could only access the TWRP recovery i had installed. Before all of this **** went down, I had created a TWRP backup because it would be my safety net if i could somehow miraculously get it to work. Now i have a backup of my TWRP BACKUP FILE on my desktop.
I have wiped caches more times than i can count, have tried factory restoring and formatted the data, and tried flashing the stock google image (the same one that i originally flashed at the time that I got the phone when i started to root) as well as flashed the old TWRP version i had, as well as the current latest version of TWRP, and then transferred the backup i made back onto the phone's internal storage. Tried restoring the old backup from TWRP, and each time it restores, it just reboots without reaching 100% and once it reboots, it still gives me a bootloop, this time, no boot animation, it just gets stuck at the Google text with a little "unlocked" logo at the bottom. I have completely run out of options, and have A LOT of EXTREMELY IMPORTANT information i have saved on the phone.
I will say it again. I am EXTREMELY DESPERATE to get my data back, to the point where i am even willing to offer a cash reward for any help to get my phone working back to the way it used to, or even at least to extract the information through the backup, if at all possible.
Additional information about the files and images I used:
angler-mdb08k is the name of the google image i had back when i had the phone and have flashed again
twrp-2.8.7.2-angler is the TWRP version i had back when i had the phone originally at the time
I had flashed and followed guides online through adb method.
