[Q] XCOM:EU will not launch past initial loading screen

Hi, I'm Nyshan and I've been having a bit of a problem with XCOM:EU. I recently purchased it from the Google play store after looking through several forums and seeing that my device (Nexus 4) was compatible. I then proceeded to download it to my (at the time) rooted, 4.3 OS on Franco Kernel. To my dismay the game refused to launch. So I did the only rational thing and unrooted my device while also backing up XCOM. I then reinstalled XCOM after the unrooted and to my absolute disgust found the game still would not load up. I then proceeded to update my phone to the latest OS (4.4.2, still unrooted with a locked boot loader, mind you) in the waning hope that it might fix my problem. Obviously, it didn't. So now, I come here as an absolute last resort.
For ease of access:
Nexus 4
Currently Stock (4.4.2)
Unrooted, Boot loader locked
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nyshan
P.S. I made this on my phone, so I apologize for the block of text. Also the search bar refuses to function without disappearing every time I try to use it, so sorry if this was an already resolved issue.
Has anyone else had this problem?

[Q] Help needed - Bootloop after Kies update to lollipop

Two days ago i tried to update my SGS5 (SM-G900F) with Kies to Android 5.0.
The phone has newver been rooted.
That is supposed to pretty straight forward, but after the update i havnt been able to use it.
After each boot it gets me to the logon screen, where i just have enough time to press my code but then it restarts over and over.
So i thougt something might went wrong in the process and used Odin 3.09 to flash the NEE (Nordic/Danish) version from Sammobile manually.
Unfortunately this didnt change a thing and the bootloop is still there.
From the short time where i gain access to my lock screen i see my old lock screen background, but the Font and setup has changed, so i guess it runs Android 5.0 now.
I would appreciate any help to this matter, since i'm growing at bit desperate on this now.
II would prefer not to root it, but if thats the solution then its fine by me.
I should be able to use ADB with the right guide, but havnt used it since the HTC Magic

Well found a solution.
Installed the Team Win Recovery Project and then did a full wipe (VolUp+home+Power under reboot).
So lost everything on the phone, but it works
I was lucky that i did a backup last weekend of images/videos last weekend. Phew....

I think I softbricked, but only CM13 seems to fix on my N7. What did I do/how to fix

Guys,
I'm not even sure where to start with what I'm seeing, but maybe you can help me.
I have had Timur's ROM on my N7 2012 for a couple years. It's been crashing randomly, even though I have few things installed on it, and a good power supply. I took it out of my car and put it on an iPad 2 amp supply, and it still crashed a bunch so I knew I needed to wipe and reinstall. I also wanted to go from 4.2.2 to 5+, which I know takes away a lot of the good features I need (like power on/deep sleep).
I booted into TWRP and wiped my tablet, which appeared to softbrick it (I think I have the usage right from searching). I downloaded the Pure Nexus 6.0.1, CM13, and already had Autodroid ROMs to use. I tried to install Pure through ADB sideload, and got it installed. When I finished and tried to reboot, it said I had no OS. When I rebooted, I got the boot animation, and nothing else.
Long story short, I tried Autodroid and CM13, and using CM13 I got it back going. Unfortunately, every time I try to flash another ROM over it, it will no longer go past the boot screen. With CM13, it boots properly, but doesn't like the gapps pico I tried to install (error message when booted, keeps returning to the same pop up error).
I'm quite sure there's something I'm missing, but I don't know what it is.
Thanks!

Ok, before anyone goes nuclear on me, I think I better understand what happened. When I got ANYTHING to work, I stopped doing anything. As I understand, it wasn't functioning...it was just in a temporary mode of some sort.
After not being able to get it to work properly, I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781250 to try and restore the system. I followed all the directions, except for using the 5.1.1 version of the ROM, and used the corresponding file name for the zip file used.
After doing so, the bootloader won't go to TWRP, but goes to the pic as seen below. I did reboot the tablet, and after waiting quite a while, the tablet came on, but I don't understand what that picture means.
Thanks!

Ok...I realized that I lost root. I'm fixing it now. I had read before, but didn't understand what I saw.
Thanks,
Eric

Softbricked my phone, Noob needs help.

Hey!
So I got the 9.0 pie on my Xiaomi MiA1 and I decided to test it and I was pretty disappointed, so I decided to try to revert back to 8.1 oreo. I unlocked the phone, fastbooted twrp, wiped the data and tried using miflash to install the rom and also tried flashing it through twrp. I have been having this problem for 2 days now, i successfully install the OS but then I get stuck in a boot loop and now I can't even get past the android one logo and it keeps loading there. I didn't do a backup, I regret that. I can't remember how many times I already try flashing different roms but nothing really seems to work, in fact seems like it's getting worse since before it would actually boot until it asked me to put my SIM card PIN but then it would reboot constantly, but as I said before now it wont get past android one screen. Also maybe its worth mentioning that i try using lazyflasher already a few times and that there was a time that it actually worked but it got automatically updated to 9.0 pie again so back to the start and, as i thought that i knew what i was doing, i just tried redoing what i did before to install 8.1 again and disable automatic updates before connecting to the internet. I can go to fastboot mode and I can use twrp doesn't seem like I have a problem there, any help is appreciated!

maybe just can let 9.0 install , looks like is the only way that u have for a dayle phone

Starting Android

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.
