I have a boot loop problem when installing CM10.2, CM11, PAC ROMs on N7100.
I did every possible wipe and yet boot looping in animation.
The recovery is TWRP latest.
Is it a problem with the new bootloader with 4.3? I'm using it with Criskelo ROM and it works well.
Should I downgrade to the old bootloader? How?
Thanks
Hello folks,
Those who are using latest TWRP or 4Ext recovery,Please comment below.Also i want to know which custom rom your on? I do flash roms in every 2-3 days and problem took place i guess somewhere from CM11 nightly 06/12 onwards.
So my question is: Anybody has encountered a problem where flashing latest nightly or any latest build beyond 4.4.3 causes reboot into recovery automatically soon after flashed boot.img and reboot system.
I always prefer Clean wipe, Install rom, Appropriate GApps, Inspiremod Patch, flash boot.img via fastboot.
Also i would like to add,that when i use Musta's CM11 nightly after successfully flashing it and rebooting the device. But nothing comes after typical htc logo and complete blank screen for few seconds and redirects me into TWRP recovery again. Where as If i use any rom made chinese devs like for ex. Mokee Open Source's latest weekly(randomly) it flashes correctly but it stuck at bootanimation.
Yesterday i've tried one more modified version of Musta's 20140622 nightly made by chinese dev, It flashed correctly but hangs up in bootanimation, i couldn't able to see anything beyond that.
Any sort of help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi,
For some reason my n7100 has lost the ability to boot non-TW KitKat roms past the boot animation. It used to be able to do so.
It can still boot any stock ROM, regardless of android version. It can also boot android ROMS less than or equal to 4.3.x.
Details:
Bootloader: NJ2 (tried others too)
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.1.0 (tried 2.8.0.1 too)
I always follow instructions to the letter, and I always wipe -everything-.
Any and all help appreciated
EDIT: So it turns out the latest version of Philz touch actually does work, at least after reflashing stock.
The short story: I tried to update from CM11 to CM12 snapshot on 9/1/2015, but every CM based ROM would get stuck at CM boot logo, and this is true with the latest TWRP and latest Philz, along with the snapshot CM recovery provided at the official download page. After downgrading to TWRP 2.6.3.0 at the suggestion of http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-sprint/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-0-t2972922/page32, I got it working.
The long story:
I tried to update to CM12 over the air from CM11. That didn't work, as my philz touch recovery just boot directly back to CM11. It's too quick for me to see the install logs, but there was some error message like "can't install" etc.
So I thought maybe I need a different recovery, since the update notice does say "compatible recovery required" and I saw there is such a recovery in the CM download site.
I flashed cm12.1 snapshot recovery using flashify but I got stuck in a boot loop.
I then flashed the recovery using heimdall and that worked.
I then flashed cm12.1 snapshot using the cm recovery, but that was stuck on the cm logo for at least 4 hours before I shut it down.
I then tried a couple more times and it's the same thing.
I installed other cm11 versions and they all get stuck on the logo (even though I came from cm11).
So I tried a different recovery, the latest version of twrp and long story short it's the same thing with cm roms.
Then I flashed back to philz touch (but I didn't realize that I flashed the latest version) and it's the same thing.
Even after I restored a previous backup, the cm11 rom wouldn't boot up.
At the end I was able to use odin to flash back to stock.
I can also flash rwilco's NE2 based ROM.
I have also tried cyanideL, which is CM12 based and it gets stuck too.
Finally I found the post mentioned above and downgrading to TWRP 2.6.3.0 worked.
Hopefully this post will help someone down the road.

After flashing back to stock NE2 rom, the nandroid restore from philz_touch worked.

Actually, I got CM12 working after flashing CM12 on top of CM11 restored from philz touch after flashing stock. So this is probably more properly called an "upgrade" from CM11 to CM12
I currently have a an old GS3 I'm playing with and am curious can I load CyanogenMod 12.1 with CWM or do I have update my recovery and install TWRP. currently running Beanstalk 4.4
Thanks

You can try installing with the existing recovery. If it doesn't work, then change your recovery.
