[HELP] Stuck in Boot Animation - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I encounter this many many times especially on Custom ROM.
The problem occur always occuring when my phone turned off because of empty battery, and charged it so I can open it up. This occur always in different Custom ROM. Always got stuck on Boot Animation. The only solution I found is wiping my data. But I'm so sicked and tired of backing up my whole rom using TWRP and restoring my Messages backup using Titanium Backup(because the apps can't be restored using Titanium Backup if you back it up using TWRP) so anyway, if you have encounter this kind of issue and have a better solution to fix this without wiping like using ADB, accessing system, logs to see what is the real problem of this kind of problem and so on.
Will be much appreciated

Flash a different ROM, or move to stock? Or don't let your battery run out completely?

Every custom rom i tried occur problem like this. I'm really not fond of Stock Rom so no. I already tried that but sometimes I keep forgetting it. It's still not a permanent solution

Well if you're not willing to try stock, sorry, can't help

Random Reboots After a TWRP Backup

My phone was running fine, all OK yesterday until I decided to do a backup in TWRP and then reboot. I like to have a recent backup just in case anything happens and since I was considering updating to 4.4 I made one. I've done backups before on this version of TWRP 2.6.3.4 without any problems and I also didn't flashed anything new.
The thing is that after I made the backup and rebooted my phone something got messed up and now the phone randomly reboots no matter what I do. I tried a clean install of the ROM (wiping cache, dalvik, system and data), restoring the backup I had just made, changing kernels, fixing perms and basically all I'm allowed to do from TWRP but none of that has stopped the random reboots.
It just boots, doesn't recognizes the SIM and after a minute or so it loops back to the LG logo. Some of the features of the phone are not working either and during this annoying process of booting and then looping back it is running very hot and draining a lot of battery.
My phone was running 100% before I made the TWRP backup which I've done many times before so I'm pretty sure that's not the problem. Right now I have no clue of what is causing this so any help would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help :good:

[Q] Memory leak or something else?

So this issue has persisted throughout wiping data/factory resetting. I'm really not sure what this is.
Basically what happens is that my phone will gradually get slower and slower until it freezes and then reboots. However, after it reboots, it will go into a boot loop. What I will then need to do is basically wait it out by shutting it off. Then, I wait for an hour (maybe more) before I try turning it back on again, at which point it returns to normal.
Any idea? I thought it might be a memory leak? But how would that affect rebooting? I'd like to also mention that at one point my recovery somehow disappeared as well. I managed to re-flash TWRP using Flashify, but I haven't dared going back into the recovery, because last time when I had lost my recovery, I ended up thinking that I had to wipe my phone completely (because even Download Mode wasn't working correctly).
By the way, I'm running an AT&T LG G2 d800, on the "d80010q" firmware 4.2.2. I'm rooted, with Xposed modules running, as well as the camera mod flashed. No other modifications have been made except for buildprop and systctl (kernel) changes through android tuner.
Same issue
Hello,
I am having this exact same issue. Did you ever find a fix for this? I have been searching for hours. I have tried numerous things, flashing back to stock with lg flash tool, installing different roms, it happens on all roms.
Thanks

[Q] CM & PA question

I got a question guys, i flashed the latest version PA for our device (PA4.5 beta 2) and notice i was having random reboots, i thought it was the rom, so i flashed CM latest nightly (2014815) & still was having reboots, so i figured it had to be an apk not playing nice & thought i was right when i noticed it was happening the most while using chrome, but it happened during the settings and some other apks, its not constant though, it very random, its like when you stay on an apk for a while, it just randomly reboots, anyone else been having this issue? or had this issue?, i both like two great theses for these roms & would feel like a fool if i cant use em lol, so any help would be appreciated, thanks
Are you wiping between flashes or dirty flashing?
If flashing clean, restore your apps (without data backups) one at a time. If you stop having the issue, then restore your app data one at a time.
If that doesn't fix it and you're flashing clean, going back to stock and doing a factory reset will almost certainly solve the issue.

What kernel are you using?

[Q] Failed recovery of nandroid backup - why???

Hi all,
Some time ago i asked, and received, some support on these forums on how to properly carry out a nandroid backup... following the sound advice i got, i carried out my backup (using TWRP for the record, with all the options checked), and stored it away for a rainy day... said day came yesterday, when i messed up my system and rendered it instable (i tried to manually delete the dalvik cache directory in order to free up the 2,5GB of space it was taking)... since i knew there was i high chance of this ending in disaster, the last thing i did before the delete was carry out another nandroid, so i could easily return to where i had left off... how wrong i turned out to be
as soon as i the system became instable following my experiment of deleting the d. cache directory, i recovered the latest nandroid (i.e. the one i had made just hours before) and everything seemd to go smoothely until the first reboot... when the following happened:
- first reboot after recovery took ages, much like the first reboot following the flashing of a new rom... not the end of the world, but that was the first sign that all was not well
- the status bar disappeared, and there was no way of making it come back (i.e. nothing to do with the launcher, i typically use apex but i i tried switching to both nova and touchwiz which i also kept up to date but the stats bar was nowhere to be seen)
- even if not having a status bar with all the info on it is acceptable (which of course it isn't, but lets just say), the sytem became completely instable after 5minutes of operation... with each app taking turns to shutting down until i kept getting the message "system UI has closed" over and over, to the point that doing a reboot was challenging since i barely had the time to press on the screen between instances of this bloody error message appearing...
...i did of course try and return to my older nandroid backup, but... lo and behold... exactly same behaviour...
so now i have resorted to formatting the internal memory card and flashing a new rom and basically starting over... just what i hope the nandroid would spare me basically :/
question is: does this sort of error sound familiar to anyone? can someone give me a tip maybe on what i may have done wrong?
any opinion, tips& advice much appreciated
I have the exact same problem. It happens on TW Lollipop ROMs. Haven't found a fix. I'm using Philz Touch Recovery and the old no knox bootloader.
Anyone? I have researched this but cannot find any similar problems reported... it can't just be me and pavelcheto...
Maybe it a recovery fault. Faulty backup or faulty restore.
No problems with my older backups. I restored my KitKat TW backup, working fine. Restoring CM12 backups also works fine. I've looked for a new recovery, Philz is discontinued, CWM hasn't been updated for a year and I really don't like TWRP.
I use TWRP 2.8.3.0 and never have (and hopefully never will) encountered any issues with restoring backups.
Considering i recovered 2 separate backups for a total of 3 times (i tried recovering the first backup twice) i doubt the issue was with the recovery itself... however since pavelcheto had no issues with the kk recovery maybe it could be lollipop related?
Anyone successfully recovered a lollipop nandroid backup?

I recovered my lollipop gpe backup a couple of times without a problem.
Data encryption may cause restoring problems.
I have restored CM12 backups (based on 5.0.2) serveral times, no problem there. I've had issues only with TouchWiz Lollipop ROMs, I have tried different custom roms, all get bugged at restore.

Just to make sure I understand correctly : you mean all TW custom roms you've restored have had problems?
Wonder if anyone else has managed a bug-free restore of a 5.x TW?
Yes, but only on Lollipop. KitKat TW roms restore just fine. I am using Philz Touch Recovery. I have tried 3 different TW Lollipop roms and they all fail to restore properly. No wallpaper, black wallpaper and no status bar. And after a minute or two System UI starts crashing. If then I do factory reset from recovery and the rom starts normally (welcome guide and stuff) and works fine.
bumping this thread because i cant seem to find a solution for this anywhere.

There's no solution for this as per comments above. TW LP is not restorable. You can flash a new lollipop ROM tho'

[Q] Phone blacking out during restore or flash

Hi All,
I was on some Lollipop rom for a few weeks and decided to try something new so downloaded one jackaway rom l2 and did the usual backup, factory reset and flashed the rom. All good but after say 30mins i decided to go back and restore my previous rom. Went to recover did a cleanup to install new rom and then started restoring the backup previously made however after sometime in the restore process the screen dimmed and then just blacked out without any warning.
Now my phone does boot up into recovery after removing the battery and putting it back again but any thing like flashing a new rom or restoring causes it sometimes suddenly blackout or goes through the screen dimming and blackout.
I have never experienced this before so can someone pls advise if they know as to whats happening and if Odin flashing is the only way left for me. Thanks
Forgot to mention, mine is a N9005.
bump.
Can someone help me pull the cwm backup from internal memory using adb. Thanks
What recovery are you using?
