Hey there! I was updating my version of Paranoid Android and my kernel and it seemed fine at first but It yield some odd problems. I went into Clockworkmod recovery and Flashed my rom and kernel I then proceeded to wipe my cache and dalvik cache. I have done this many times before on many devices. I encountered a problem when I rebooted for the second time, I got the Android is updating apps display and I continued to get it every time I booted. The device would also randomly turn off when the screen dimmmed. I proceeded to set out and fix it. Here are the steps I took and the problems it caused.
Flashed stock rom-would not boot properly
Flash RESET kernel-I messed up and though this was a real kernel, my problems escalated from here.
Flashed stock rom and recovery.
Flashed reset kernel and then real kernel-Still had problems.
Flashed stock rom
My problems from all this accumulated somewhat and I can barely boot into fastboot. I get weird static screens and weird white noise sounds. It does not always let me boot into android and will get to the google logo 1 out of ten tries.
These is really unnerving and I have no clues whats what.
Note: I am using Faux123's kernels and his reset kernel.
Thanks a lot for any help!!!
Hi guys,
Ive been running my nexus 10 on the AOSP+ 4.2.1 rom for almost a month now and haven't changed anything lately but today while I was using the device it randomly switched of and after i turned it back on it got stock in a boot loop
I have tried re flashing the rom but i cant access by TWRP recovery any more, i dont know what else to do any suggestions ?
I have scoured the internet to find someone with the same issue as me, and I haven't found enough to fix the issue, so I'm placing a plea for help here. I have installed TWRP 2.6 recovery, and I am trying to flash OmniRom 4.4.2 nightlies. Originially I was trying to flash cyanogenmod 11, but I had this same problem. It appears to be any kit kat rom that causes the problem (I haven't tried flashing stock or any non-kitkat roms, but I was running on rooted stock before I tried to flash CM11). Anyways, When I flash I am wiping dalvik, cached, system, and data. Then flashing the rom, then flashing Paranoid android gapps. It will boot the first time fine. My phone will work just fine afterwards. However, if my battery dies or I restart, I will be unable to boot back into the rom and my phone becomes a soft brick. It will just stay stuck at the galaxy s 4 logo for as long as I leave it on. I have left it on for more than 30 minutes and there are no changes. I can't have my phone being just a dead battery away from being bricked, so I am asking for your help! Anything is much appreciated!
One other side note: I had my phone just lock up on me once in the middle of it running just fine. Afterwards it turned off on its own and tried to restart, but it resulted in the same issue. I don't know if this is related or just a bug in the rom.

Omni clearly states that it is an alpha, so you mileage may vary considerably.
Sounds kernel related. Have you tried just reflashing the kernel and seeing if it'll boot after that. Or trying a different kernel?
Thanks for the reply! I actually just fixed the problem on my own. I used Odin to flash a newer version of TWRP and then flashed omni, and it looks like everything is working just fine. I read a few people saying that they were having issues flashing kit kat roms with older versions of recovery, so I figured it was worth a shot.
So today my nexus 4 shut off at around 20 percent batter i didn't really think any of it because that happens often and i just reboot and its back on after charging it. This time however it was different it wouldn't boot it was just stuck on the paranoid android boot animation. I searched online and found out that clearing cache and data all that works so i tried it to no avail. I did the same this again but this time re flashed the rom and still nothing. I then pushed cm 11 into the nexus 4 flashed that rom and nothing. So then the last thing i though about was fully unrooting and going back stock with nexus root toolkit. I tried it and went through but then when good ol kitkat animation started it continued forever. Im out of options now and i don't even have custom recovery anymore what can i do.
I was running Paranoid Android build version 4.45 with hells core kernel.
EDIT---------------------------------------------------
I have clockwork mod recovery back up were do i go from here please help.
Please Help Thanks

Hey all, so I've got a nice little nexus 7 that I'm trying to turn into a head unit for my car, but I don't seem to be able to flash any other roms.
I got off the stock rom almost as soon as I got the tablet, unlocked bootloader, converted to f2fs, and flashed Xenon HD with 5.0.2. After that, I didn't really touch it much until now, and all I get when I try to flash other roms is a bootloop and I'm hoping someone can help me out. I initially started with USB ROM and Timur's kernel, but that just stuck me at the boot screen so I went to try Autodroid 1.2. Very surprisingly, that was a bootloop too. Getting somewhat worried, I went back and restored my backup which didn't have any problems, and booted straight into the system. Thinking maybe there was just an issue with the these head unit replacement roms for some reason, I tried Optipop and got the same thing, then on a suggestion I saw in the autodroid thread I tried flashing Slimkat since that's what Autodroid is based on, not sure why that would help but I was willing to try anything. And, surprise surprise, still just a bootloop. So now I'm back on my Xenon backup and really quite stumped.
Thanks for your assistance!
