Bootloop after first restart with multiple CFWs! - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have the standard note III 9005 and I had always installed CFWs on it.
I wanted to update to newer 6.0.1 Roms (had 6 roms before) but I seem to have a VERY annoying bug:
I tried to install Temaseks rom and resurrection rom but I had huge issues with it. I got bootloops although I got the newest 3.0.2.0 Team Win Recovery Project
I installed rom, GAPPS (correct version of course 6.0.1) , install rom again then delete cache and then it worked on both roms.
So a simple "install rom, GAPPS, then clean cache" didnt work. I tried to install multiple times until I got the installation! YAY! BUUUT!
Here is the fun part:
If I restarted the phone acidentally or on purpose I got stuck in a bootloop. After that the phone was unuseable again so the installation was useless.
Only solution is to completely wipe and reinstall and experiment with the order of installation until it works!
I did install STOCK rom because I was so freaked out and then went with ODIN the complete rooting guide for clean rooting, but still problem exists.
I tried two other roms but the problem was that while flashing the phone restarted automaticly and then TWRP said no installed rom? ???
Huge thanks for helping me!

New info:
I was able to make the rom work. I restarted and got stuck into bootloop!
I could boot normally after deleting dalvik cache!
But after rebooting I got into bootloop. Tried deleting cache again but this time it never booted properly.
How can I avoid by always deleting dalvik whenever I have to restart my phone (if battery dies or purpose)?
PPS: Stock Rom flash works flavlessly. I am waiting in stock rom until I find a proper solution :"(

Suggest you read the roms faqs and Q&A particularly with regard to TWRP .

[Q] Omni Rom on FInd 5 installation fails

Hey Omni Community,
Today i tried to install the Omni Rom (omni-4.4.2-20131219-find5-NIGHTLY) on my Oppo Find 5. First i rooted the device with framaroot and then installed twrp.
Secondly i copied the rom + gapps on the phone. In twrp in cleared the cache + dalvik and tried to install the rom. But in the middle of the progress it stoped and says "fail" .
What is that and why.

We need far more information than this... considering that none of the developers can reproduce this issue.
Also, rooting the device was completely unnecessary since you can just flash TWRP with fastboot.
I got it Fixed
i just changed to cwm and it worked.
Done it without rooting .

Cant figure out how to install custom rom, without loosing root acces

Dear XDA
I have been an android user for many years and rooting has been one of the things I always did to my devices. I am an owner of a Note 3, which I have rooted succesfully and used X-NOTE 13 rom for long time. Last week I wanted to try something new and after that everything seems to be impossible. Before I install any roms I always perfom full wipe of, system, data, cache, dalvik cache etc. (I do it inside the recovery). Afterwards I tried to install CRASH ROM V9 and the progress went fine. When the phone rebooted the strange things started to happened I couldn't find the rom's extra menu and couldnt find any of the functions that the rom contained. I just thought that it was problem with the rom itself therefore I tried to went back to X-NOTE, but without any luck. The X-NOTE installed probably but I couldnt boot into it, it was stucked at the "Samsung Note 3" logo. I tried to wipe cache and dalvik but without any luck and every time I rebooted from the recovery the recovery says "it seems your device doesnt have root access" and the recovery tries to gain root access.
Then I couldnt understand anything of what was happening so I went to stock using ODIN. After installing stock rom I used CF-ROOT and everythings went smooth and I could use SuperSU inside the stock rom. Then I installed a recovery and it didn't mentioned anything about root access, so I was ready to install my custom rom...at least I thought so....I installed X-NOTE again (because I knew that this rom worked before without any problems) and after the progress was done I couldnt boot into the rom again, it was stucked. I wiped the cache and dalvik and as soon I clicked reboot in recovery it tells me that I am not rooted.
Then I did the same thing again, went back to stock, installed CF-ROOT and recovery. This time I installed CRASH ROM instead and I could boot into the system, but the rom still misses the "rooted features" etc.
In other words, what have I done wrong? I cant seem to find the problem and I think that I have tried every possible solution?
Informations:
Model: ​SM-N9005
STOCK ROM: Tried both N9005XXUENB4 (German) and N9005XXUENC2 (Nordic firmware)
Custom Rom: Tried both X-NOTE and CRASH ROM
Recoveries used: TWRP, CWM and Philz CWM
Kernels: Tried with stock one and X-NOTE kernel 1.5
I hope you can help me I cant live with stock roms
Thanks in advance

weird.
all the rom you mentioned xnote & crash come with root access inside.
When you said you used all those 3 recoveries, did you try each rom with each recovery ?
and when you flash those rom, did you follow to do a clean full wipe as mentioned on each OP thread ?
clean full wipe is not only wipe cache and dalvik, but also the data (factory reset).

Yes I have and tried several other combinations too. First time I installed X-NOTE I wiped everything and installed X-NOTE without problems.
I cant seem to break the code, I am getting frustrated hour by hour. I have double checked everything, I am on the NC2 bootloader with the NC2 kernel, when trying to install X-NOTE I get stuck at "Samsung Glaxy Note 3" - I cant understand what the problem may be and it is beginning to be personal :/ heheh
But seriously what could I have done wrong?

To be frank... I have no idea. U flash before earlier, means u know how to flash it.
What I could think of, is just the recovery.
I ve been using cwm chenglu all this time (the one reported with less bugs, and most recommended at any rom thread). And jump from rom to rom every 1 week at least with no issue.
I will try tonite use twrp to flash rom. I will let u know if I face any problem.
SOLVED

Finally, finally and finally solved!
Well it seems strange but the problem was the official kernel inside the stock roms that made it almost impossible to run any custom rom.
What I did to solve the problem:
1. Went back to stock rom using a rom with the newest baseband NC2, ex. N9005XXUENC2
1a. I did have som problems getting the bootloader updated, which means I was force to install it over ODIN 3.09 - use this bootloader NC2 BOOTLOADER (Thanks soloilmeglio for the bootloader)
2. I used CF-ROOT to gain root access
3. Then I installed CWM 6.0.4.8 recovery as recommended from antique_sonic (Updated few hours ago!)
4. Install the CivZ-SnapKat-Rev3.1-sm_n9005-4.4.2.zip kernel
5. Lets the phone reboot and check that everything works!
7: Boot into recovery and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache
8. Install the custom rom
Dont ask me why the kernel wasn't working from beginning and why it was "corrupted" after installing another custom rom - but now everything works as it should!
Thank you very much antique_sonic for helping me!

It could probably be a problem with TWRP as you mentioned earlier. After using CWM everything went smooth after updating my kernel. Last night I couldnt hold me back to try one more time, and I flashed X-NOTE with TWRP and I got the same problem as described in #1 post. Then I installed CWM and flashed X-NOTE again and everything got messed up. Then I restored everything, force installed the kernel and bootlaoder. After that installed CWM and then I was able to run X-NOTE without any problem.
I am not a professional developer but I may think that the problem is TWRP when it tries to flash the kernel under the process with may results in some problems. When using CWM from the beginning I do not get any problems but when using TWRP I need to restore everything back.

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.

G900F Bricked after update: cm-14.1-20161219-NIGHTLY-klte.zip

Hello all.
I have a Galaxy S5 running cyanogen 13 ( cm-13.0-20161013-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO21L-klte.zip ). Last night I updated it with the cyanogen tool, as usual, thinking that I was just getting a more updated version of cyanogen 13, but apparently I got it working with android 7.1.
As gapps were not working, I downloaded both 7.1 gapps, and cm-13 to try to install gapps or comeback to cm-13 if it did not work.
The problem is that I had no chance to test it. I rebooted the phone with the option "recovery reboot" and after it turned off it showed something like "no command", then it got to the first screen (recovey booting... in blue, samsung galaxy s5 white logo...) and freezed there.
I've tried every key combination and it does change nothing. I've read in another forum an user having the same issue so I advice you to not install this update. At least not from CM13. I will update when I get more details from the other users or if one of us success while trying to unbrick.
I suggest you to install twrp with Odin so you are sure that you have working recovery. Then backup what left of this not working ROM and download cm 13 and gapps for it. Then wipe system partition and install those two. By some chance you will end up with working ROM. If it works, I suggest you to backup all data with titanium backup and clean flash cm 13 to be sure that you got rid of all the issues... If cm 13 doesn't boot also wipe data and start on new.
I hope it helps you

Hello!
Thank you very much, as I found the problem was the recovery I've re installed TRWP. CM14 was replacing it each time I installed it by ODIN so i had to start it just directly after flashing it (without letting the phone boot) and i've installed last CM14 klte file and 7.1 GAPPs
Now all is working , I hope it can help others with the same problem
Thank you!

[T560] All Android 7 ROMs not working, stuck on bootloop

Hi all,
so I can't install any Nougat ROMs as they all make my device go to bootloop on the first reboot after flashing, and just keeps the device on the boot animation for hours
This includes LOS14.1, DotOS and ViperOS all versions.
When I flash the CM13 ROM (what I'm using now), everything works normally on the first try.
I can't be the only one experiencing this bootloop, anyone else having these issues?
Did anyone else get bootlooped? Did you manage to circumvent the issue?
Any help is appreciated

Did you flash magisk or supersu before fist boot?
I tried with and without rooting, of course before flashing the ROMs (and GApps) I would wipe everything except sd card.
Really don't know what's the issue as the majority of people that reported bootlooping on these ROMs managed to get it fixed later, but none of that works for me.
I tried restoring back to 4.4 then trying again, I tried leaving the boot animation until the tablet runs out of battery then trying again, still no luck.
When I flash the CM13 rom from xda, everything works fine on the first try and first boot takes only a new minutes. I also managed to install the CM12.1 and the latest LightROM for the t560. Weird
Anyway I can only hope this gets resolved, willing to try anything as I don't use this tablet for anything relevant. It's the UK version, if that matters.

Make sure the ROM is for your Device. T560NU has a different chip set that the LTE model and you can't interchange roms.

-Install CM13 and gapps (root optional)
-Wait to boot and pass all the steps in the initial setup
-When tablet completely booted reboot to TWRP
-Install any Android 7 rom ang gapps without factory reset
-Reboot
-Cross fingers and eventually it will boot!!!
