I've noticed that after going back to stock Oxygen with root my lock screen wallpaper is not centered. It seems to be shifting to the left of center. Is there a fix or reason why this is happening? Don't have this issue with any other ROM...
Try factory reset, it maybe hanged out. Coudl help it this way.

I'd give it a shot but when I installed this time around I actually followed the Unbrick method from here.. Unbrick Guide .. I can only assume this wiped everything and anything from the phone? I sometimes wonder if I'm getting a good wipe.

Well if you want to wipe everythink you need to do the factory + wipe data. I also suggest to wipe dalvik and partition cache. This will not only wipe your data but your current OS. So you need to flash it again.

I posted this on DamageLess' page in hopes that he could help me, but I haven't gotten a reply yet. I figure someone on this forum can help me.. Just read the paragraph and you'll know my problem...
Hey man, I really need your help
I tried using your new DCUpdater (which is a fantastic idea btw) and i'm having a major issue. My phone won't boot. At first I was having problems with SuperUser, but I fixed that by enabling USB debugging, then unplugging the phone, then using the Updater. That worked. But when I tried to reboot the phone, it wouldn't boot. I wiped, restored to my most recent backup, and it still won't boot. I wiped, manually installed your new ROM, and tried to reboot again, and that's where I am right now. It had the Quietly brilliant screen, flashed the sprint logo screen, and now it's back to the Quietly brilliant screen. I think it's in an endless boot, because as I was typing this, the screen flashed grey for a second, then it flashed the sprint logo, and now it's back to quietly brilliant. Please please PLEASE get back to me asap, because I don't know what to do.

id say do not flash a rom. do a factory wipe then restart. read my comment under ur original post
You can do what the 2nd guy said..
Wipe everything.. Then dont flash or nandroid restore.. JUST reboot your phone.
Or save all your files to your computer that are on your sdcard... Repartition your sdcard. Then reflash the rom and move your stuff back.

I just did a factory reset, wiped my Dalvik cache, and wiped my sc card option thingy. I went straight from there to rebooting my phone. I'll say something if it boots now
i'd say wipe settings, wipe ext, wipe dalvik, flash rom, boot. if that doesn't work, wipe again and again then boot.

Dear SGS2 users,
I'm experiencing some problems.. The device is getting REALLY slow. When I try to open a picture taken with the SGS2 on the device itself it takes about 1 MINUTE before it shows the picture.. And opening SMS/Contacts also takes time.
I'd like to factory reset my device.. I tried a reset yesterday, but it didn't wipe any files, just sms/contacts. Can someone help me? I'm not rooted
Thans in advance
Boot recovery Wipe and factory reset .

No it won't. But you should really try get a backup of it
But if you are using stock recovery and are unrooted, then you can wipe fine
Old stock ROMs did have an issue where they would not boot properly after a wipe, unless you re-ODIN the stock ROM again.

Put this code in your dialer:
*2767*3855#
This will do a complete rebuild of the device and wipe internal storage. So phone will be like when you first took it out the box! ;-)

Does anyone have a noob way of reverting back to 4.3 from 4.4?? Everytime i do it it just gets stuck in a black screen after the google unlock boot screen.
I wipe everything data/cache/dalvik/format system, then install rom and gapps. But nothing. Maybe I am doing something wrong but i cannot find any info on this problem. I also went back to dalvik from using ART so thats not stopping anything from booting?
thanks for suggestions or help in advance. :good::good:

Before you reboot do a factory reset - have you tried different roms?

Start fresh by download stock 4.3 factory images and then flash them. Once done, start rooting process again.

I have an encrypted n4 that I upgraded to lollipop.
Eveything went well but i cant get past the boot screen.
The dots just keep spinning.
I dont want to do factory reset. Have too much data that I dont want to lose.
Has anyone had any luck with resolving this issue other than doing a factory reset?
The first boot could take up to 6-8 minutes... else try to clear the cache
I've let it run for 8 hours and still stuck on boot screen.
Even rebooted and still the same.
How do I clear cache?
On boot press and hold the volume rocker to get into the bootloader. Then use the volume rocker and power button to select recovery, and wipe the cache with the stock recovery using the volume rocker and power button also. There should be video tutorials on YouTube also

NotBillable, were you able to solve this issue? I'm having the exact same problem, stuck on the spinning dots after upgrading to lollipop. I cleared the cache, it's been a few hours Anyone else have any other ideas (besides a factory reset)?

It should only take 10 minutes or so. You wiped /cache and it still did not work? A Factory Reset will probably fix your issue. Hope you made a Nandroid
I'm having the same problem but when I fastboot and try for recovery, I get a downed Android. Thoughts?

I tried everything and nothing works except Android 4.4.4... I relocked bootloader, formatted everything, even erased all partitions, flashed via Factory Image, via OTA zip, via flashable zip... It used to work the first time I flashed Lollipop but the second time I ended up with the spinning dots for hours...
Maybe we should make a sticky thread for everyone having the same problem.
Flying f...... dosts
Hello guys,

yep, did wipe cache and it did not work. Had to factory reset. Didn't lose anything too important (e.g. photos and contacts backed up in the cloud), lesson learned though: back stuff up, esp. before before touching and upgrading the OS. Also used this as a chance to flash cyanogenmod
Solved it without a format! I had the same issue with my Nexus 5. I manually sideloaded the OTA zip via adb in Recovery mode and it rebooted ok. Hopefully that helps you guys too.

Nice! Did you already have debug mode enabled to be able to use adb? Or am I missing something here (I'm a noob )

No, all you need to do is connect the phone to the computer, get into Recovery at startup, select to install a zip file. At this pount you need to run adb sideload from command and it should take care of itself. You have to rename the file to update.zip. For this to work you do need the right drivers. Let me know if you need further help.
Stucked on boot screen
If anyone helps.
I tried to install directly the 5.01 update from 4.4.2 on my Nexus 7 and was stucked on boot screen.
After several attempts I installed lollypop 5.0 and worked fine.
I'll try to install now the update from 5.0 and will tell you later if that works.
Cheers
I recently tried to run ART instead of delvik and now my phone freezes just after the Samsung and Verizon boot screens. The screen reads "Android is upgrading... optimizing app 1 of 1". The phone will stay on this screen until the battery goes dead. I've already tried recovery mode and wiping the cache partition, but to no avail. Any advice or guidance to help me get my phone back in working order would be greatly appreciated.

Reinstall whatever ROM you were on. That's the only thing that worked for me. There might be another solution, but this is what I used to work. I did everything you did and it still wouldn't boot until I did a clean flash of my ROM. Hope this helps.
flash rom = factory reset?

Thanks jagrave! I guess I neglected to mention that my s5 is completely stock, so I don't have a custom ROM. Will a factory reset do the same thing?

Yes a factory reset from recovery will set it all back to stock/normal, including which runtime your using back to stock dalvik.
