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.

Odd.

(Help) S5 Stuck in bootloop after factory reset

Hey guys, my galaxy S5 was rooted, running a version of TWRP (can't remember the specific version) and was also running the latest version of Cyanogenmod available for the S5.
I went to factory reset the phone in the settings tab in Cyanogenmod and now all my phone will do is display the teamwin logo as if about to boot into recovery then go black, then display it again (bootloop)
Anyone any suggestions on how to fix?
Cheers, Lewis

Try reflashing cyan.

I've tried it, Odin won't recognise my phone

You're also not able to flash it via custom recovery?

As rajman already pointed out, you can remove the battery, insert again and power on with the buttons volume+ and home pressed and hold. This should start Twrp right away. From there you can try to do a wipe of data, cache, dalvik and eventually internal SD and reboot. If this still does not help you can copy the cm installation zip to your external SD and flash it with Twrp.

phone won't start if i flash nought rom

Okey.. So I used to flash many ROM on my Xiaomi Redmi 3s prime and they were very stable and awesome also I had flashed RR nought ROM and used to work well but it was a buggy ROM so I flashed another 6.0.1 rom stable ROM and few days later I found stable nought ROM but when I flash them then it show boot animation (loading screen) like for 1min and then get stuck and then automatically gets turn off I tried many times to start but got same results but i can flash marshmallow ROMs but not nought ROM and also like 4-5months ago when I was using 7.0 ROM and then got back to older then my WiFi and Bluetooth stopped working :crying:

Flash wifi and modem patch provided with custom roms in there thread or if every this is right i.e you flash all patches then try to wipe your data partion or factory reset your phone.Take back up your data before doing factory reset.

I had that with RR official rom latest. I just had to disable DM thingy after wiping dalvik and then boot to system. The first boot will kind of not go past beyond the RR animation and then I have to powercycle once and then everything was the way it should be. The latest RR also has Magisx which will not boot the phone if you have some other root like SuperSU for some reason.
In short after making the backup through TWRP, wipe the lot using the advanced wipe, install the RR ZIP and wipe dalvik install pico Gapps (some reason Aroma version didn't work) wipe Dalvik and disable DM and then boot system If it gets stuck in the RR animation for longer than 3-5 mins in the first boot just hold the power button to cycle it once and it should work.

after flash lineage 14, twrp can't go into system.

I have one XT1570(china version with dual sim), falsh lineage 14.1( the latest nightly one) , gapps with twrp, after flash both of them, I click "reboot", then "system". it can't go inside the system, still show with twrp ui.
Now I tried few times, still the same.
But if click "reboot", then "bootloader", after screen goes up, press power button"start", it looks the initiation of android system, but it last for hours, still loading screen.
Any suggestion for this problem?
Thanks.

Los 14.1 is for Marschmallow, one(?) build is for Nougat.
Xt1570 - Lolipop, if you didn't flashed any upper stock rom. @tigerszheng

the original one is Android 7.0 Nougat™ NPH25.200-15, I think this is the previous rom, but when I do factory reset, it boots into twrp directly.
Since I originally want to flash the lineageos 14.1 for clark, so I download the lineage-14.1-20171106-nightly-clark-signed.zip, and the gapps*.zip,
that's the content I used to flash with twrp, but the problem seems that the rom doesn't work properly. or maybe because the xt1570 default to boot into the recovery(twrp)?
not sure about what's the problem of this?
Thanks.

Try AOSP ext. for 7 modem:

Strange behaviour with i9505 - can flash through Odin but OS won't start

Hello,
I have an i9505 LTE International version (jflte) for about 4,5 years, working perfectly with the latest LineageOS until yesterday when my phone suddenly shut off itself (as like as I removed the battery). I tried then to turn it on again but restarted itself after the LineageOS logo appeared. I thought there was something wrong with the OS, so I've booted to recovery TWRP to flash the same OS again. The strange thing is that TWRP stopped flashing at +/- 20% freezing itself. After that I was not able to boot to recovery anymore.
I removed the battery, SIM card and microSD for about three hours. Tried again only with the battery and was able to install LineageOS again. After booting with the fresh installed LineageOS (I formatted the /system /data /cache partitions) the system was very unstable and slow. After 10 seconds the screen went completely pink and it shut off again and never came up (showing me the boot logo and rebooting - bootloop).
I removed the battery again and tried to flash, after one day, with odin the stock firmware. I had no issues while flashing but the OS won't boot. Therefore I flashed the TWRP to the recovery partition and it doesn't work. After 10 minutes without the battery I am able to boot TWRP but when I try to, for example, copy the logs to /data TWRP freezes and I cannot do anything else but hard reboot.
Someone knows what's going on here? Could the eMMC be seriously damaged/corrupted?
The strange thing is that, without the battery for 10 minutes plugged in, I am able to boot to TWRP and navigate through the menu - although after trying to format the /data and /cache partitions TWRP freezes. After a reboot I cannot boot to recovery anymore (it remains stuck on the samsung logo screen with the RECOVERY BOOTING and Set Warranty Bit: recovery headings.

My fathers old S4 has a similar issue, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/help/s4-i9505-wont-past-screen-boots-t3810088
It seems so strange, I'm currently trying to get the files left on the phone safely of but it crashed when trying to do so and now I can't enter recovery.
But I'm trying to troubleshoot it as good as possible without risking loosing the files, and the strange this is that many S4s seems to have problems with the fact that it is a random restart and then goes into bootloop. But the thing that worries me the most is the fact that you were running Lineage while my father was running stock TouchWiz based on 5.0.1. That leads me to believe that this is a hardware issue, I'm considering unscrewing it and try to troubleshoot it. Going to get my hands on my fathers old extra batteries for his S4 tommorow, will see if that makes a difference.

Did you wipe the /data partition after flashing the stock rom? I had the same issue... After flashing LOS, my phone is bootlooping randomly and i tried to flash stock rom. ODIN does not wipe the data partition after flashing the original stock samsung firmware so the OS can`t boot due incompatible data( The lineage os data with android 7.1.2 is not compatible with lollipop). Try to flash the stock rom again, wait until your device restarts to the robot and hold the vol up+home+on/off to get into stock recovery. Perform a factory reset and then restart. You have to wait a bit (maybe 10 min)
