HELP! Stuck at black screen after Device name. But can boot into recovery mode

Okay. So last night, I tinkered with my Note. Rooted it and put TWRP as my custom recovery. Me, being a first-time rooter, was happy with success. I downloaded some recommended root apps, stuff like Pimp my Rom and stuff. So I customized it and rebooted a couple of times. This morning, I overclocked the CPU and rebooted it the natural way by Power off and on. I don't know what happened next. The screen was just stuck at the word Samsung after the device name appeared. I panicked and turned it off by holding the power button. I tried turning it on a couple more times but it failed. I tried rebooting into recovery mode which turned on fortunately. I had a backup last night and I tried using it. When it rebooted, it showed the device name and then was stuck the black screen. I tried wiping data and cache but it still didn't work! Now it's just stuck at a black screen. HELP! PLEASE. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

If Wiping data/factory reset didn`t solve, then you should flash a stock rom via odin.

I'm searching for the stock ROM... I found the official stock ROM and a ROM without Knox. Warranty is useless since I tripped off the flag. The official stock ROM has so many firmware versions and I'm not sure if my version is the one on the site. Don't want to hardbrick it. Also I accidentally cleared internal memory along with the data and cache. Now it says "No OS installed"

Any rom will do , preferable your country rom , but any other region will do as long as you are flashing the correct rom version variant - P600 or 601 or 605.

I guess I'll try flashing CleanROM or some Stock Knox-free one. The reason I rooted was because of the bloatware I don't use. Some ROMs say to transfer to storage then boot to Recovery Mode. Is either way okay, or should I really stick to Odin? (Sorry. Noob here XD)

Well, the downloads are failing, and I think it's because of my slow internet. I'm gonna try maybe tomorrow or another day when I'll have free time. Being a student sucks. Thanks for the help, though. I appreciate it.

yeah I just did the same. I've created a thread but no response yet. I am also stuck in a black screen after "samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition" (giant name...) I've tried to install my onw backup of original rom and [ROM][12/30/2013][P601][XXUBMJA][Aroma][v1.0] by gcrutchr, both no success stuck at black screen but with backscreen light on... for many minutes and nothing...

Downloading the "STOCK"(I mean the real official one, the one that was in the tab straight of of the box) ROM from Sammobile and flashing it worked for me. Also, don't use the other custom ROMs. I don't think they'll work.

Next time I'd be careful with overclocking As far as I know you need a custom kernel that supports OC. And because this device is still fairly new we don't have those yet.

[Q] CM11 Milestone 5 release date? / CM11 Milestone 4 bugs/known problems? Thanks

Hello,
My LG G Pad 8.3 currently has the recent OTA Android 4.4.2 upgrade, nothing rooted/modded etc... Can someone let me know please:
1. When is CM11 Milestone 5 being released for the LG G Pad 8.3? I notice M5 was out a whie ago for other devices.
2. What are the known bugs/problems with CM11 M4?
3. Is it better to use CM11 M4 or the latest CM11 Nightly? I'm after a stable release, less so new features.
4. Are these good upgrade instructions? - http://true-android.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/update-lg-g-pad-83-v500-to-android-442.html
Thank you

Is anyone able to help answer my questions please? Thanks

1) While the official CM11 did not do a M5 release, infected_ did an unofficial one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660676
2/3) Not sure about M4 but infected_ M5 and near latest nightly (4/18) broke wifi on my device. Maybe that's why the official maintainers skipped the M5 release. I'm currently running the latest Mahdi-Rom.

That's my worry. Even Cyanogenmod, which as I understand it has the highest quality control, it still breaks things.
LG's "attempt" at Android maybe pretty poor but at least everything works. Still CM11 isn't "Stable" yet.
* Is it worth waiting for a Release Candidate or Stable build or would you say M4 is stable? I appreciate probably tricky to answer. My concern is I go to all the effort and something crucial (like Wifi) no longer works. Currently my G Pad works perfectly (just using the poor LG software).
* I understand M4 is considered more stable than the latest Nightly right?
Thanks

Great, thanks, will do.

The CM team did a blog post on their release process. Google "cm-11-m4-post-release-items"
The reason why device maintainers don't do a M release for a device is often a judgement call since M releases are not just tagged/renamed nightlies as of CM11. A M4 was released so I would give that a shot.
LG software was just too different for me. I'd prefer for the OS (and hardware) to disappear so that I can focus on using the apps, and LG does its best to remind me I'm using its product.
I would just backup stock kernel and recovery with flashify before flashing TWRP and then backing up your stock rom in TWRP before flashing to anything else.

Thanks. That's a really useful blog in explaining what a Milestone release is. I'll give M4 a go. My only concern is I just know M5 will come out shortly after. I'm only intending to do this 1-2 times if I can help it, second time preferably being Stable.

True.
The only thing LG have added that's really much use is QPair and MySMS (free on Google Play) is better than that anyway. LG's G Pad interface needs refinement, the e-mail app is poor too. I don't mind OEM Android modifications as a general rule though. I'm perfectly happy with TouchWiz on my Galaxy S4.

You can go back by going to recovery and restoring your backup. If you backup your stock recovery in flashify, you can restore that too afterwards.
You may want to ask someone on the official or infected_ CM threads about the next RC/stable. However, the snapshots are pretty much monthly (within first two weeks of every month). So hopefully the maintainers decide to do the M6 release.

I probably do. I was thinking M5 for G Pad may still come but it's probably to late now. I'll wait to see if M6 appears before trying M4 now. M4 will be 2 months old by that point :-|

Hey, been runnig the M4 release for the last month, got an auto update to the m5, which ive been running for the last few weeks, been stable, no problems so far, no idea why the release isnt listed on the cyanogen site.

You usually override the stock recovery with TWRP (or CWM) before you reboot to recovery to backup then flash over your stock rom. In other words, you are backing up your stock rom through TWRP as your recovery, you've already lost your stock recovery. When you restore your stock rom, you will still have TWRP as your recovery. It may cause an issue if you try to install a future LG OTA update.
On the other hand, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can use stock recovery backups from other users.

Could you let me know if you've had any problems with either M4 or M5 in these areas? -
1. Wireless
2. Bluetooth
3. GPS
4. Crashing
5. Slowness
5. Random Reboots

p.s - Thanks for the screenshots. It's great to see the Multi-task button present and correct. I'm always using it and holding down Home is such a pain.

Hey, no problems with wifi, I run Spotify with a set of bluetooth speakers off into problems, also no crashes or random reboots. I think it's def faster than stock rom and yes the standard buttons are sooo much better, but I think it's perceptibly slower compared to the nex 5, doesn't bother me though, il try post a benchmark later. Also flashify works great, it's not a substitute for Cwm or twrp, just let's you send and queue commands to recovery from an app, so u still need a custom recovery with it.

Antutu on cm11 m5, no other mods. looks pretty good! Interested to see the difference with stock rom? Could anyone post stock? Cheers!

Are you running AnTuTu 4.4? Did you restart the G Pad before you ran the test? (I did). As oddly my LG G Pad 8.3 (UK Wifi Only model) running Android 4.4.2 OTA from LG (no mod/root or anything) is higher -
p.s - I'd expect the Nexus 5 to be faster, it's got a newer generation Snapdragon CPU.

Second run: 26917
Third run: 26172

Yep antutu 4.4, consistently get 25200's, not much higher, even after a reboot run, interesting that stock scores higher!

Now CM11 M6 is out, I have a few questions please:
1. Should I first install Flashify to backup my Stock Recovery?
2. If so, where do I find Flashify?
3. Then ClockworkMod Recovery?
4. Then perform a Nandroid backup using ClockworkMod Recovery?
5. If I did want to Restore my Original Stock ROM, is it simply a case of going into Recovery and restoring it?
I want to be sure I can revert back to exactly how my LG G Pad is now before installing CM11 M6. If I end up doing this, I'm overly bothered if I need to Factory Reset after/before restoring the stock image though.
Thanks

1) Always good idea to backup everything. If you backup your stock recovery before installing a new recovery image, it makes going back to full stock easier.
2) It's on the app store.
3) I don't think CWM supports this tablet anymore. Use TWRP 2.7.0.1
4) Yes, backup your system, data, and boot, then do a factory reset (in TWRP), and then flash the new rom.
5) Yes. Then if you want to restore the stock recovery (if you backed it up), do it through flashify.
---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------
Here's the exact process I went through (I posted it somewhere awhile ago). Keep in mind I came from stock 4.2.2. If you come from stock 4.4.2, you need to use the ioroot method to root.
0) Download custom rom, twrp, and gapps to SD card
1) Rooted it using Kingo Android Root
2) Installed flashify
3) Backed up stock recovery using flashify
4) Flashed TWRP recovery using flashify
5) Rebooted to recovery
6) Backed up boot, system, and data
8) Wipe data, cache, etc (factory reset)
7) Flashed custom rom then gapps
9) Wipe cache
10) Reboot
Restore
0) Reboot to recovery
1) If you want to backup your custom rom, back up boot, system, and data
2) Restore boot, system, and data from your stock backup
3) Wipe cache
4) Reboot
5) If you want to restore stock recovery, restore using flashify
6) If you want to unroot, either use the root tool or flash back to stock 4.2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51466025)

Yes I've upgraded my G Pad OTA from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2, so noted thanks. Do you have to root the G Pad? This guide doesn't mention it:

It even says: "NOTE: Root is turned off by default in CM ROMs". Although I see I'd need to root for Flashify anyway.

Hello. I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 - T210 and i think i really screwed it up. I did not make any backup, that was mistake NR one.
I got clock work mode up and running but i cant install any ROM, have tried The original Firmware, RocketTab, Cyanogenmod and cant pass the installation process and i think i cant turn back cause i got no backup and no way to install it again.
When i run any of these ROMs i get this error :

So yes, switch. All else is almost always solveable as long as your recovery is solid.

To be 100% sure when people say recovery they mean the programs like CWM or TeamWin and so on right ?
Is it bad for the device to change often the recovery software ? cause i have done that couple of times, started with TeamWin and later on ended up with CWM.
But the thing is that the problem is the installation process, it does not matter what ROM i use i get still the same error.
And for the Philz Touch could you copy the name of the link that i should download, they all look the same and way more links that i am used to.

The reason you can't install any rom is because you do not have the latest version of CWM installed. You should always install the newest version when you install any recovery.
The newer roms are using an updater-script that will not work on CWM 6.0.4.7. Install an updated recovery and then install the rom that you want.

To answer your question no yes maybe. Travel around through XDA and read/learn and you will understand.
as for philz i would try this one https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/lt02wifi/philz_touch_6.44.9-lt02wifi.zip
in general find a recovery that works for you and stick with it until an update is actually called for.

If I were you, I would unroot and return to stock using ODIN first before I try anything else. If you need instructions, Google "unroot and return to stock using ODIN".

Audriuss95,
Is it bad for the device to change often the recovery software ? cause i have done that couple of times, started with TeamWin and later on ended up with CWM.
To answer your question no yes maybe. Travel around through XDA and read/learn and you will understand.
as for philz i would try this one
in general find a recovery that works for you and stick with it until an update is actually called for.

Thank you for the answear. gone try a little bit more with the recovery i already have and update it like gr8nole said. Maybe that could be my big problem.

If I were you, I would unroot and return to stock using ODIN first before I try anything else. If you need instructions, Google "unroot and return to stock using ODIN".

Without a backup, you will lose your data and files. But you can restore, since you can download the firmware from SamMobile.

6.0.4.9 is the latest.

Choose the one with "flashable" in the name and then flash it using your current CWM recovery; then reboot recovery.

good to hear you got it sorted. CM just isn't happening yet. just watch the forum like a hawk like everyone else is...:cyclops:

If your worried about destroying your tab you prolly shouldn't have come to mod it.I know sounds like a douche bag thing to say but even putting on the flash or roms that go with the tab can destroy your tab if done improperly or even if they glitched while flash which does happen or even worse power outage when flashing.

Nono it is okey to say something like this, but the thing is i like to learn this stuff, took me about 3 days to learn how to flash a BIOS on a computer but when i got the hang of it i learned it.
I am scared of destroying the tablet but how else would i learn ? cause reading does not always help But i got it back up again. And i knew when to ask for help.
But the RocketTab looks to work well at least for know, but would love CM mod couse i have it on my S4 and when and with the RocketTab i only get android version 4.1.2

Thank you for the fast help, the tablet is up and running, gone skip for know trying to use CM mod.

Stuck at "installing update" Help!

-Hello, I'm new here. This is my first topic so if i did open this at wrong place, forgive me.-
I do flash roms through CWM a lot and i do keep the roms I downloaded as backups in case something happens. Recently I installed Sir Arco's CM12 (5.0.5) rom and I used it for a week. Then when I tried to change my rom to another one, I got stuck at recovery, after wiping cache/data/dalvik cache, saying "installing update..." but not doing anything for nearly 2 hours. FYI, the roms that I'm trying to install are all working (I used them before and they are the same files that I used to install), I even tried the stock rom but that didn't work either. Please help me ;-;
Note: I forgot the most important part! The phone can boot into recovery but there is no firmware installed in it right now since I couldn't install it. You can say it's pretty empty ;-;
If there's some missing info at this post, please ask it, I'm willing give any support I can.

What version did you tried to install? Only the last version of cm11 and cm12 are compatible with the recovery you used to flash cm12. If you want a older version of cm11 or cm10 and so on you need an older recovery. Probably that's your problem

First, I'm sorry for this slow response! Downloading CM11, finding a SD Adapter and etc. took a little bit long. But yeah, it's just as you said. I was trying to flash a 4.0.4 ICS. Flashing CM11 solved all my problems! Thank you so much! :good:

I'm glad I could help . Either way you can flash ICS if you want. You just have to install a older recovery to do it. And also make sure you have the right one

Alright will do! Thanks

[Q] Help with flashing rom

I just recently rooted my LG G3 D850. I've backed up all my apps using Titanium Backup.. I flashed TWRP recovery and have backed up my stock ROM (I think lol) and I'm just wondering if anybody could tell me if the most recent cm12.1 nightly (5/31/15) will flash ok even though I'm currently running lollipop 5.0.1 Sorry if this is a really noob question lol I just don't want to brick my phone And if anyone has any input on whether or not I should even bother flashing cm until a stable build that would be great! Thanks in advance and I'm glad to join all of you!

If you can boot into twrp then you sold be fine

There are varying opinions on the use of TItanium Backup. I would suggest not using it to go between stock and AOSP/CM. I usually backup from within a few apps, contacts, Nova, SMS... then restore on the other side.
I do not have your variant, so can't recommend a specific ROM based on experience with it, but I run this on mine and it is SOLID. They have a build for the D850, too, you just have to look for it on the page..
CyanideL
I would highly recommend Slim Gapps.
If you wait for a CM ROM to go stable, you may never make the switch! I ran nightlies for a while on another device; some are just more debugged than others. You will likely know early on if a release will not work for you as a daily driver and then all you have to do is revert to your last backup via TWRP. Either way, I wouldn't suggest flashing a ROM while on the morning tube, knowing you will need everything to work to get through your day. You will want to take some time with it to get comfortable, figure out what [else] it can do, and make sure that everything works. Sometimes little things (like GPS) are an easy fix that you can apply if you take a few minutes to look into it here.

Flash away! Just make sure you wipe your phone first (you'll probably find how to wipe it in the first post of the CM12.1 thread, under install instructions)
Yeah! I wouldn't try to recover from back-up after flashing, seeing how you are switching from stock to CM, and these might be built differently. I would only back-up in case I screwed up and needed to revert to stock.

Yeah I backed up my stock ROM just in case of a soft brick. But thanks for all the help.
