I have downloaded and installed Primou Omega ROM. I have followed the instructions in the thread. Every thing went very well untill first boot. Now the phone is stuck at CyanogenMod Logo. I have waited for almost for one hour hoping that it will complete. But noting is happening. I tried twice but same result. Here are the steps that i followed.
Unlocked bootloader.
Rooted device.
Installed ClockworkMod.
Download Primou Omega.
Download Google Apps.
Booted into ClockworkMod.
Done a Data wipe.
Wiped dalvik cache.
Done Format system (From Mounts and storage).
Installed Primou Omega ROM (Install zip from SD card).
Installed Gapps.
Rebooted the system.
Before doing these steps i took a backup of the stock ROM so i was able to restore it.
Now, i'm i missing something. I'm new to flashing new ROM etc... Is there a error log of the installation process so that i can post it in the forum.
Please help.
EDIT: Issue Resolved I had to use a different Kernel (CM 10).And it booted with out any issue. Didn't find any issue till now....

Hey guys, i hope someone can help me here as im stumped.
i was running 2.2d/e and i wanted to update to leedroids newest version.
These are the steps i took:
Did a backup, booted into recovery, wiped cache, wiped data, installed 2.4.1 from zip. and rebooted. worked fine and booted up.
However, the problem came after i turned the phone off after 3 days of use with no problems. After i tried to power it on again, it would get stuck at the HTC spash screen. i then booted into recovery and it flashed "no image or wrong image"
everytime i full wipe-->reflash or fullwipe-->restore to my backup, i get the same problem.
Anyone know what i should do?
for anyone that wants to know, i was able to fix the problem.
I realized that when i tried to flash a rom, at the end it would say SD cannot mount. all i had to do was reformat and repartition my sdcard with gparted and i was ready to go.
So, I was running CM9 with D2SD but wanted to remove it because I was getting some problems so I tried to restore my backup with the normal CM9. It didn't restore properly. I then thought that anyways the internal member is very low on CM9 then I should try out MTDPartition. I forgot to edit the txt file which is using while flashing CM7 . It installed but didn't pass the boot screen. I tried flashing again but no use. So I downloaded CWM again and flashed it. Then tried installing CM7. Didn't install! So I flashed CWM again and tried with MTD. It installed.
Everything was working normally. I wanted to flash a theme so I rebooted into recovery and flashed that theme (Which I was using since over a month). It just didn't start my phone then.
Now everytime I reboot, my phone starts the boot screen and then suddenly gets stuck and restarts again. This happens again and again. I tried flashing CM7 and CM9 again but same thing happens always
Please HELP!
Have you tried installing CWM recovery again?
I would recommend, install CWM again, then run superwipe, then MAKE SURE YOU REBOOT INTO RECOVERY (NOT REBOOT SYSTEM), then flash your rom again.
(thanks to blueridge wfs team for the sharing superwipe script).
Before flashing your rom, did you perform the following steps?
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik
If not, try to do that first, then flash your rom.
Hi Guys,
I have a Rooted Galaxy Nexus. From Last Month, I am facing a strange problem. I had two custom roms stored in my machine
1. JB Sourcery 5.2
2. Xylon Maguro 2.7.7
I downloaded JBSourcery Encore, and tried to install it through Recovery. I have TWRP.
The TWRP program said that Installation of the ROM with Gapps package was successful. But when I Rebooted my phone, It got Stuck on the JBSourcery Logo while booting.
Then I switched back to JBSourcery5.2. It got installed perfectly.
After Some time , I installed XYLON rom with the same procedure. It also installed correctly, But when again I tried to install JBSourcery 5.2,
I faced the same problem I faced with JBSourcery Encore.
So, I switched back to XYLON 2.7.X.
Last week I copied PA3.99 custom rom with Android4.3. I installed it yesterday with new gapps package and it got installed correctly. I didnt like that rom interface so, I decided to go back to Xlon as it was the only working rom left in my phone. But when I tried to Load XYLON rom this time, then I went into BootLoop with XYLON Logo on the screen.
In Short, whenever I install a new rom on my phone, and if I switch back to my prevoius rom, then my previously working rom goes into bootloop. (Please note that I wipe cache/dalvik cache every time I install a new rom.)
Can Someone please help me to solve this issue???????
Please......

You noted in your post that you only wipe cache and davlik. When you install a rom your supposed to do a full system wipe. And for sh!ts and giggles, try using cwm instead of twrp to install your roms. I hear mixed things about twrp.

But if I perform System wipe, then all the data such as images, contacts, downloaded aplications will be wiped from my phone... right?
And if I take a backup of that data on PC, and then after installing a new rom, if I paste it back in the phone, will it work??

Yes you will loose all your user data when you do a full system wipe. ive never copied and pasted data from my phone to my pc and then back tbh, i just let it all sync with my google account. the applications will restore when you sync your google account to your phone after the wipe since you have to have a google account to use play store. if they are external applications (ones you downloaded the apks for and installed them manually) you will have to reinstall those, as playstore will not recognize them. just about every custom rom op gives you instructions on how to install the roms, and im pretty sure they all say you must wipe all data before installing. failure to do a system wipe, will cause boot loops.
You can use "titanium backup" Ort "helium" to save your apps and Data.
Images and music normaly won't be deleted. But you should make a Backup anyways.

My Xperia ZL won't allow me to install a custom ROM.
Here are the steps I've taken.
1. Updated to 10.6.... (Lollipop fw) via Flashtool
2. Boots correctly, everything seems to work.
3. Flashed boot.img from Paranoid Android and went into TWRP to flash the ROM zip (wiped cache, system and data before).
Did step 3 to test the same for OmniRom too.
4. Phone boots, shows Bootanimation, shows Optimizing apps, then hangs after finish and does step 4 again.
Please help me, I could install custom ROMs on the device before, suddenly it does not work anymore.
Note: EVERYTHING works fine with Stock. Flashed stock ftf multiple times and tried these steps.
Thanks for your help
It seems to be a Bootloop. Try below steps;
1. Through TWRP wipe (system+cache+dalvic cache+data+android secure)
2. Install ROM.zip
3. Wipe cache+dalvic cache+data
4. Reboot
Hope the above steps helps you

hitman-xda
@hitman-xda I've tried these steps, except for android secure.
What is that partition and what does it do?
Cannot find it in Advanced Wipe of TWRP.
Thanks
It is the mysterious part. Actually no one knows about it. Some says, it contains secured links/data of some apps.
If you are clean flashing ROM, that's means you have to wipe everything except storage part. That's the reason I mentioned it.
If you can't find it, just leave it
@hitman-xda So I've already done what you suggested, with no luck.
Guess I'm stuck on stock till someone helps me
Thanks for your reply
did you install de correct kernel?
maybe you should wipe everything, install the correct kernel and after that, install the custom ROM
i don't now if it will work, but at least try
I did fastboot flash boot boot.img (got it from ROM zip)
Then erased everything and flashed ROM.
No luck
Does that Paranoid Android was built for your phone?
Your phone loops from 'optimizing apps' , that means your phone is unable to load dalvic/art for the apps.
Also check weather PA ROM can be flashed over lollipop, if not then you have to downgrade an then try the same procedure.
Also you can download stock kernel with recovery, flash it and then directly try to flash your respective ROM.
Usually ROM.zip contains kernel and get flashed during installation of zip, just the thing is they can be flashable over some selective android versions.
I have tried the roms below:
Pac-rom
LiquidSmooth
CyanogenMod 12.1
CyanogenMod 11
And the result is it always gets stuck at boot where the boot animation continues infinitely. I have gave it about 30 minutes to boot.
With LiquidSmooth I was able to run logcat, but CM12.1 I am not able to.
I have tried resetting system, data, caches in twrp and using the reset for new rom in philz.
I have tried flashing with both TWRP and Philz.
I am using the latest Philz and TWRP.
The only thing that has worked for me is samsung stock ROM, but I do not like the stock ROM.
Are there SPH-L900 phones you have to do something different?
Is there a way to get boot logs from CM12?
Am I doing something wrong?
See attachment from LiquidSmooth.
After flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 everything worked.

Hi,
I see that you got it working by using that thread, but what exactly did you flash from it? I had it working with CM12.1 but decided to flash the recovery from CM for my phone and it ruined the installation. Tried re-flashing with the latest nightly to get stuck in the CM infinite boot, returned to stock (that worked fine) flashed TWRP and CWM 6.0.4.3 Touch, re-did everything again with both, but cant go past the infinite boot. This happened the last time too, but it started working out of nowhere so I continued patching until I flashed "cm-12.1-20150828-NIGHTLY-l900-recovery.img". Now it doesn't boot again and redoing what I did the last time is not working (Wiping Cache, Dalvik...)
Thanks

Followed this guide from some post I found after reading for 8 hours, LOL. Don't remember who it is from... It's for the Cyanide ROM but worked perfect for CM12.1 latest nightly with the latest GAPPs
1.) revert everything to stock
Using Odin3 v3.09 I first flashed this: L900VPUCNE2_L900SPTCNE2_SPR.zip
2.) Reboot and verify it's not bricked, then use ODIN to flash Philz philz_touch_6.15.4-l900.tar.md5
3.) Reboot into Philz recovery and follow these steps exactly
1. Mounts and Storage
Format / system
Format / cache
Format / data
Format / data and /data /media (/sdcard)
(note this isn't the EXTERNAL sdcard, on to which I had loaded the ROM, Shift and gapps)
2. Power Options > reboot recovery
3. Wipe cache partition
4. Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache
5. Wipe data / factory reset > Wipe data / factory reset
6. Wipe data / factory reset > clean and install new ROM
At one point Philz asked me if I wanted to root and I said yes.
3.) Flash (from the external sdcard) the ROM (Tablet style ROM found in OP "5.0.2-RC-7.1-tablet"), Then flash Shift (Shift-LP-4.3 other versions DID NOT WORK), then flash gapps (GApps-5.0.2-20150315-signed NO OTHER VERSION WOULD FLASH, got Error 20 every time) Here's the
After everything was flashed I rebooted and got stuck at boot animation AGAIN, so I rebooted into recovery and wiped cache. Just cache, not dalvik or user data, rebooted, and it worked.
Installed Netflix from appstore, when I logged in to netflix it asked me to update google play services (I've seen it do this on other devices as well). Updated google play services and went back to Netflix, chose a random show and tapped on it, stuck at "loading" screen. Rebooted phone, tried netflix again and it works.
This was a tough one! But it's working now and I've saved all these files in one place incase it bricks again. Now to install the Note 3/4 style faux-stitched-leather back cover I got off Amazon.
Thanks all!
