Dear XDA Members
I have a Galaxy s4 GT-I9505 i had an old version of Omega Rom on my galaxy and everything was workin smooth. But i decided to flash a new rom and do a factory reset and delete all data then i flashed A modifyed stockrom with TWRP it was working fine until i restarted the phone and it stuck on the galaxy s4 Boot logo so i went to recovery and flashed it again with wipe/dalvik etc. I saw in TWRM the system was unmounted so i mounted it again. and flashed the same rom again. it was booting and after i was able to us the rom again until i restarted the phone and it stuck again
I then downloaded the Google stock rom for s4 and flashed it via TWRP after i could start the rom and could use it but when i restarted the phone it was stuck again on s4 boot logo. After dath i wiped and factory reseted many times and tried 3...4 other roms but i allways had the same problem.. i also tried an original stock rom via ODIN but this wont start at all. One thing i mentioned in TWRP under Mount it allways kiks out the System mount.
I tried to fix it for 8h now and cant find a way.. so i need Your help have you got any Idea what is wrong with my galaxy ?
thanks in afford
I recently installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 then wiped factory data and cahces the whole 9 and now when I restarted the rom it wont boot past the samsung logo I even tried restoring a nandroid backup of the original rom rooted and it still wont boot past the samsung logo, im unsure of what to do and its really frustrating any help would be much appreciated thank you
You should do the wipes before you flash the rom. You booted up without a system to boot to. Odin maybe your option at this point
Like the title says, my phone gets stuck at the boot logo (not bootloader) after I try to flash any custom ROM to which I solve by restoring to a stock rooted nandroid backup of 6.0.
Here's my flash process:
1. Reboot to TWRP
2. Do clean wipe
3. Flash ROM (DU for example)
4. Flash gapps
5. Reboot
TWRP flashes the ROMs and necessary gapps without any issues but no matter what it gets stuck at the boot logo after rebooting. This wasn't a problem in the past as I was using Orion, DU, AICP, etc. Would using the restore-to-stock tool help in this case? The only thing stopping me from using it is the fact that it would wipe my internal storage. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: I decided to restore to stock and wipe user data and I'm now finally able to get past the the boot logo
How long are you waiting? First boot can exceed 20 minutes just sitting there looking like it's not doing anything...
Sometimes first boot take.more than half an hour
Sorry to revive this but Im getting the same problem... Did u managed to install any rom after u flash the stock rom? Should I do that? How long should I wait on first boot?
i flashed nuclear 7.1 but i encurred in a bootloop that i could resolve only with qfil tool, so i putted cos 12.1 stock, unclocked bootloader and flashed twrp, now: when i flash ANY rom via twrp i go in a bootloop that i can only solve with qfil tool going back to cos and do everything from beginning.
i tried:
change recovery (i tried CWM but i have same problem)
wipe storage (anything changed)
i tried several roms but everyone gave me the same result: very fast bootloop in zuk logo and phone vibration
the only thing i can do is to restore a backup, but since im note able to flash mm firmware (bootloop) i cant use touch id and g-sensor
what can be the problem?
any solution?
thanks
Boot and recovery partitions
Sounds like you messed up boot and recovery sections. Since you can boot up successfully, you may try to flash back to ZUI which changes these two sections completely. If it's not a solution for you, I think the only way to repair is completely format including kernel, system and partitions. You can find the tutorial on Website.
...
you can fix it just use TOOL_ZUK_Z1_ENG_0.0.6
Try flashing COS 12.1 via fastboot.

Hi!! I've flashed the NucleaRom too and for a couple of weeks it worked just fine. However one day, out of nowhere, the phone, while still on and working, restarted itself and entered a bootloop. After a few days it restarted normally and lasted a couple of hours but then it all started again. The BIG issue here is that when the phone enters in this bootloop where it remains on for about 15 seconds, it does it either in the system or the recovery/fastboot. I've managed to install two other ROMs via TWRP, when it miraculously remained turned on, but the problem persisted.
Is there a chance your problem was similar? How did you manage to flash via QFIL? I can't enter into that "emergency" or "download mode" in order to flash.
Many thanks in advance
i think that the problem is in the bootloader itself you should try flashing the latest os u have used and instal ordinary unofical lineage nightly (you can find everywhere) by this way your bootloader will be updated to 7.1 after that you can install any software i was having same problem when trying to migrate to lineage os
unable to install Custom ROM's
hi ,,
even i had the same problem like recovery was not accepting any ROMS... if we flash it ll go to recovery again and again,
and later i have flashed CM 13 with image file,, it worked and gone to recovery and updated the update to lineage OS 14.1 with Gapps..
hope it might help u...

i am continuously on the boot loop! how to get rid of it?
plz help its been 4 hrs, i think i am in trouble! any possible solutions!!!!
U can try one thing.... Install cm13 with flash file and then restart - - & go to recovery select install update and select lineage 14 and G apps... I did like this . And it worked....
After reading up and being waived off the Official TWRP I originally used the open source (which I cant find on my phone or desktop) TWRP for my recovery.
I've been playing around with different ROMS on my Oneplus5 and ran into a TWRP loop after restoring from one ROM to another. It was suggested, and I followed the advice, to flash the Official TWRP and no more TWRP loop.
A week or so later, trying to restore from the Resurrection ROM to xXx ROM and I'm back in a TWRP boot loop.
I've tried different wipes before restoring and still looped.
Tried flashing this version of TWRP to recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/twrp-oneplus-5-wip-t3626134 and it was no help.
Any suggestions?
Try flashing no verity op5.zip
I don't think official TWRP can restore backups that include system data on the OP5 without going into a bootloop. Blu Spark TWRP works much better. I've never gotten a boot loop restoring any backup I made with that version of TWRP.

Thanks, it was getting a bit frustrating and before your solutions posted, in the interim I used Method 2 from here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/guide-fix-twrp-recovery-script-loop-t3649727 loading the stock bootloader wiped my device clean (all pics, my files, my TB folder gone) but I was able to load a ROM and boot (I hate Goggle, they can f up just about anything, but that god for their backup/restore, it got me up and running from scratch quickly ). I will give the blu spark a shot and @ se7ensde take a look at your suggestion.
It is a shame that TWRP restore is such a problem, and a random one at that. I have restored from ROM to ROM to compare them without an incident until....
