Hey guys,
I was running a old version of android (6.0.1) and wanted to upgrade my rooted phone today. Decided to try out Oreo, followed a guide that involved using fastbooting various files (bootloader, radio, boot, system, vendor). I got no errors along the way. My phone went past the android logo once and "optimized" my apps, restarted and was stuck loading the android logo. It now just keeps trying to load the android logo and reboots into TWRP recovery. After recovering, I am now stuck on the Google image while booting up.
Does anyone have any tips? Can I just try flashing a older version of android? Or is there a better way to fix this problem. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!
Edit: Was able to fix my issue. For anyone who is having similar problems, follow step 9 from Heisenberg's guide. Since I was updating from such an old version, a lot of the programs were incompatible with the newer android version and causing issues.

Hello,
I appreciate there are a huge number of similar questions on this forum, but I have read a lot of them and cannot find a solution to the problem I have with my wife's Nexus 4. Hoping someone will be able to help...
Standard Nexus 4 8GB, running 4.3 OTA on Vodafone UK. Not rooted, unlocked, hacked or anything.
Yesterday it failed to make calls or pick up a network, so my wife shut it down and restarted it; since then it would not get past the X boot logo.
Tried the factory reset / cache wipe steps, many times to no avail.
Let the battery run down overnight, no change this morning.
Sideloaded the OTA from 4.3. to 4.4, accepted the code but would not boot, initially stuck at "Starting Apps" after optimising apps, then after reset stuck at 4.4 Circles logo.
Installed 4.4.2 via fastboot, after unlocked the bootloader, again installed OK but would not boot, as above.
Re-installed 4.3 via fastboot, as above, will not boot.
Now currently gone back to 4.4.2 factory image, still will not boot - sits on the circles boot logo for ever.
I am sure I have tried several different iterations to the above, the furthest I have got it "Starting Apps" screen, most common is X or Circles.
Anything else I can try before giving up?
Thanks in advance.

Hmm heard of such issues in the past where nexus wont boot with 4.3 or 4.4 !! I dont know the exact reason of the problem but what I do know is a solution for the same !!
Download the Factory Image for 4.2 Jelly Bean and fastboot the same !! Mostly youll get back your phone in the working state albeit without being able to upgrade to 4.3 or 4.4 !! Have a good day ahead !! :good:
Hi,
Thanks for the reply - I have just reloaded 4.2.2 from scratch and it is working. I then tried the OTA 4.3 upgrade and it failed, as before "starting apps" for ever, reset never boots.
Returning to 4.2.2 worked again.
What is strange is that this handset worked with 4.3 for 3 or 4 weeks before the restart yesterday...
I also tried 4.3 with .48 radio but that still failed to boot.
Hopefully someone else has a clever idea or some information around how/why this occurs, as beyond there being an underlying hardware fault (all sensors seem with androsensor) it is not logical.
Thanks.
I upgraded the firmware on my phone to install Bad Boyz Oreo ROM. My phone did not like it. It sent the phone into a constant bootloop.
Since that time, I've tried everything. I'm not a noob to this. I was able to use a Sprint Nougat RUU, which installed successfully with no errors, but it stayed on the HTC green and white screen. No bootloop, just stayed on the screen. I installed TWRP, and flashed an older version of Viper ROM. It's just stuck ont he Venom logo. Not doing anything.
I'm downloading another RUU at the moment. Not sure it's going to do anything.
Can anybody get me to a point where the phone works again? I can't upgrade until July, and I am using my old M8 till I get this fixed.
Thanks!
Mother****er! I just installed Bad Boyz again, using the Magisk and it's booting. What's the issue using the SuperSU optionk
Can U plz provide a link of the same?
Hi there... i am too stuck on a bootloop since i tried updating to Oreo 8.0. Now i have got access only to the download mode. Would appreciate if u can guide how to get rid of the bootloop
Hey everybody, I need help. I have a J320P that is stuck in a boot loop, when it was found like this by my friend they came to me and asked if I could help. I have no information on how this happened other than they took a shower and when they came back it was like this. I have tried installing stock firmware 3 times to no luck. I might have an sd card somewhere with the backup for this phone but finding it would take some time so in the mean time I am turning to the forums. If anyone could help that would be amazing. I will provide more information and answer questions as they come.
Steps I have taken:
1. dirty flash of stock latest firmware
1. wiping the phone completely
2. Installing latest stock firmware
3. Still bootlooped
Not solved
So after triple wiping through TWRP and installing the stock firmware again it was still looping so i left to run to the store quickly and when I returned I tried powering it on and it loaded normally and I am still setting it back up.
Leaving the original comment. After coming home from work my friend said it had started doing it again, and it is. This time there was no root and no system anything messed with, does this mean there is a hardware problem?
Hi. I’ve got a customer with a j5 that I factory reset as she was having problems with it. But now it will only boot to TWRP which must have been installed before she bought it.
I’ve tried sourcing a stock android but with no luck so I tried a few Roms from here today. I can’t get it to work at all! Here’s what Happens.
From twrp I install CM rom and gapps. When I reboot the phone an orange line appears across the screen followed by the Samsung logo. Then the screen starts fading to green. The screen is in full working order when using twrp.
Does anyone have any ideas?!
Thanks

More than likely that version of twrp is outdated get a .IMG file of twrp version 3.2.1 and flash the image in twrp. Use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3769408/page5
If that isn't the problem and the problem you have persists than you have either flashed the wrong version file as there is several types of galaxy j5 with different hardware,
Or the bootloader you have on the phone is the wrong version ie. it has marshmallow bootloader and your trying to flash a ROM that only supports lollipop or vice versa. Links for both bootloaders are here

This should fix your issues hope it helped
Hi Everyone,
I have been on a rooted Android 10 build for the past 2 years, but found the battery was starting to drain quickly, so decided to upgrade to the latest version 11.
I have rooted phones many times, however im a bit stummped.
Initially when i rooted by flashing with Odin, my patched AP file, it would boot loop the start screen, however today i have got further and it boots to "android starting", but after 3 hours it hasnt moved from that point. I cant imagine this is normal\expected? I have tried to reflash a few times and wiped\factory reset before hand, using the main CSC instead of home_csc, but still the same result.
Any ideas? Am i missing something?
Cheers!
If anyone wants to reply with a potential fix for others, then please do, however for now i have managed to obtain root using a method someone else did on XDA.
Basically, i managed to install and run TWRP, then flashed a kernel in that. Now have an up to date phone with root.
Thanks for anyone who looks at this however.
