No ROM will boot..

Hi everyone,
So i'm having an issue with my Galaxy S4 GT-i9505. It seems that any custom ROM I try to flash it with just gets stuck at Boot. I can always restore to stock so its not that big of a deal but still I'd like to be able to use a custom ROM on it one of these days !
Here's what I did so far:
1) The phone was rooted with CF Autoroot, then flashed TWRP recovery with Odin 3.x
2)Tried to install Omega Rom v9. With Data, Cache, Delpik wipe. Stuck at Samsung logo after reboot
3) Restored back to stock
4) Repeated 2)
5)Tried to install PAC Rom, again Data, Cache wipe, Flashed Gapps before Reboot
6)Stuck at "PAC loading" logo
7)Tried 5) again without flashing Gapps. Still stuck
8)Back to stock
I'm thinking of trying to flash a Pre-Rooted Rom like some of DJeMBeY. Anyway, can someone point me in the right direction ?

i9505 Boot freeze/loop

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

JDQ39.I9505XXUBMGA

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

No rom is booting up properly

EDIT: the problem is solved, see my last post
Hey guys,
I'm not new to installing roms, as I did with my SGS 2 before. But I haven't done it for a long time and it's the first time I do it on my SGS 5... with no success at all.
The problem is that, out of all the roms I've tried, none of them boot up entirely without crashes. I've followed the instructions to the letter and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Here's what I had before starting to fiddle:
SGS 5 G900F, no specific carrier, bought in Europe
stock android/touchwiz 5.0, never rooted or anything
Here are the roms I have tried:
cynaogen 5.1.1 12.1 20150508 for klte + these gapps http://teambliss.x10host.com/BlissStalk/Gapps/ --> stays blocked on the samsung logo forever
BlissPop 5.1.1 v3.3 20150515 for klte + pa_gapps-stock-5.1-20150418-signed or pa_gapps-modular-full-5.1-20150418-signed --> google newstand and another google app are crashing in a loop during the setup, I can't tap any button
PAC 5.1.1 20150503 for klte + pa_gapps-stock-5.1-20150418-signed or pa_gapps-modular-full-5.1-20150418-signed --> the install wizard application itself is crashing in a loop
THe kernels I've tried:
KT-SGS5-LP5.1-AOSP-G900-05.02.2015
boeffla-kernel-2.0-beta8-CM12.1-g900f.recovery
My recovery:
twrp-2.8.6.0-klte (flashed with Odin, it works fine, and I could boot the stock rom without problems with it)
Any idea about the cause of the problem?
Thanks

I guess if you are not new to stuff like this, you have 100% wiped everything before flashing in TWRP recovery, and factory reset / wiped caches after flashing the ROM and Gapps?

Yes, before and between installing different roms, I wiped everything: system, cache, dalvik, internal storage

I've also flashed twrp previous version 2.8.5.0, and philz touch recovery. They all work fine, but still can't boot any rom

Strangely, I now works using this version of CM 12.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ent/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-android-5-1-t3066252
I have no idea why I had all these crashes and boot problems with the other 3 roms.
Cheers

Odd.

Can't install a new custom rom

I'm running a resurrection remix 6.0.1 rom on an international n9005 note 3 and I want to install a dark wolf s7 rom , I am doing everything right from wiping and installing but when it comes to installation it gets stuck and won't install and boots into recovery again without installing anything
Any help woud be really appreciated!

Are you using the latest version of twrp?

What version of twrp do you have. And do you have the same problem with other Roms? Meaby download dark Wolf rom again and then try? You wipe properly data system cache and dalvik?

[SOLVED] Installing CM13 on rooted SM N910V

I have TWRP recovery and I've installed the Rom without any errors showing up but when I try to boot the phone up it doesn't go past the cm logo screen. It keeps pulsating slowly then goes faster then just stays there. I've waited about an 1hr or 1hr n a half for it to load but nothing happend I've installed gapps for 6.0 stock I have Jasmine ROM 7.0 installed with xposed framework.
Q) Do i need the stock Rom for this phone to install cm13
Q) Does it take a long time to load?
Q) Did I miss a step?
I used the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/cyanogenmod-t3253973/page406 and made sure I had everything I didn't change animation scales because couldn't find the setting, multi window is already on I belive n xposed was installed with Jasmine ROM and gapps.
I rebooted to recovery
Factory reset
Wipe > advanced > system, data, cache, dalvik
(I have a backup just in case)
Installed cm13
Wiped cache
Installed gapps
Wiped cache
Rebooted
Then it gets stuck at the cm13 logo that's pulsating.
My solution:
I downloaded the boot.img file provided by weard1212 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9399595/boot.img
You will need it for it to boot up.
Reboot recovery
Wipe >advance >system,data,cach,dalvik
Install cm13
Wipe cache
Install Gapps
Wipe cache
Then go to home menu
Install click install IMG
Look for IMG file then install
Reboot
DONE

Before flash cm rom You will need 5.1.1 stock lollipop bootloader to make in boot if you are on marshmallow 6.0..1 it wont boot.
Just flash 5.1 bootloader it will boot fine

Don't flash the 5.1 bootloader, you need to flash the 7/24 build kernel from here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9399595/boot.img after you do the steps you have already done

Flashing the stock bootloader on the Verizon note 4 will re-lock it and they are talking about hsbdr's cm13 on the Verizon form
