Hello guys,
I have a SG2 T989 Model.
I went ahead and rooted it today, then went ahead and installed TWRP Recovery, then I went ahead and flashed a;
[Stable CM10.2 Hercules Firmware/Software.]
From here; http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hercules&type=stable
Then I also went ahead and got;
GApps for CM10.2 .
Then rebooted and it turned on in Cyanogenmod.
Everything was working fine until I rebooted my phone and then the phone would turn on and show;
" Samsung" Logo and then it would dissapear very quickly and the screen would go "Blank off"
I fixed it by going back to; TWRP backing up my data files, then factory reset, wipe cache, then I installed 10.2 over again, Installed GApps then wiped dalvik Cache, then finally Rebooted.
It turned on, I setup everything again, didn't restore my files yet, tried restarting to make sure everything is okay/fine before restoring, but..... I guess not, for some unknown reason it keeps happening.
I hope someone can help me here.

Strangely enough, I have solved the issue.
CM10.2 Seems to be buggy.....
So I downloaded a stable version of CM10.1.3 and Downloaded GApps 10.1 and flashed both Via TWRP Recovery and I also had to wipe/factory reset in order to downgrade followed by Wipe Cache and Dalvik.
Then now it's rebooting perfectly fine, everything is more than fine for the past 2hours. Thank god.

I've been trying to get a Rom on a S3 that the wife likes, so I've recently flashed the latest versions of Hyperdrive, Synergy and Wicked. I always follow the proper procedures of data wiping/factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik, format system, and format data between each flash. I tried Hyperdrive first but had google sync errors, so went to Synergy. Synergy wouldn't connect to the nectwork so I went to flash Wicked v10 but the device wouldn't wipe/format data. I let it set for 20+ minutes and it never progressed. Pulled the battery and tried again but same result. I was able to install Wicked w/out the data wipe and it seemed to boot up ok but I was determined to get that wipe. So next I tried to restore to a backup from a week ago and it also stopped progress at the formatting data step. I re-flash Wicked v10 w/out the wipe. Once it did its thing and booted up I used went to the Factory Reset option under Settings but now the phone is stuck on the screen with the Android figure and a progress bar. Pulling the battery and trying to boot into recovery or even a normal boot all results back on the progress screen. I've managed to thoroughly piss off the wife by disabling her phone. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I don't care if its reset back to factory rom or just anything to will allow the phone to work. Any help is appreciated.
Have you tried using Odin to flash a new original factory ROM?
IDK if you can get into Download Mode, but, if you can, it's worth a shot.
i agree with that statement. try flashing stock and unroot with odin. i have use hyperdrive since march, and i have not had that issue, so maybe its just a bad download or something. just try odin,
so heres my problem. i had slimbean 4.1 on my device and it worked great. but i got a new phone and left it in a drawer
decided to give my phone to my sister and the update message showed up in my notifications
i downloaded it and flashed as i have a million times before
then i was stuck in a bootloop.
i did the usual, full while, cache and dalvik, and no success, the same has occured with every rom except the miui rom for some reason that one works
i have noticed that i can not factory reset the normal way, i have to use the alternate under settings in twrp
i have also used the super scripts and i noticed that it gets stuck on clearing the cache, any ideas?

Are you still using the same version of TWRP you used to flash slimbean 4.1? If you are trying to flash newer ROMS with an older version of TWRP, that could be causing the problem.

Try TWRP 2.6.1.0
Hello guys
I decided to re-flash CM 11 because in these days my phone started to freeze continously and reboot.
I followed the usual procedure (wipe system, data, cache, dalvik) but the problems seemed to multiply, e.g. the phone couldn't get any signal with the SIM inside.
Then I tried with another rom (Paranoid 4.6 beta 6) with no results and I reflashed CM 11.
Unfortunately after my last installation the phone stuck on the Google screen.
As last resource I restored my phone with an old backup which i made previously but the phone is still stuck in the Google text screen.
Because the things seem to get worse, i decided to write this thread.
Do you have any tip? Do you think it could be an hardware problem?
Thanks in advance
Extra information
I forgot to say that fastboot mode is available, in fact I can easily access to TWRP. However even though I reflash the rom, the phone is still stuck in the Google boot screen.
Phone was originally bone stock, I then rooted & installed TWRP recovery, booted into TWRP and did the Backup option and saved it to SD Card, I then flashed CM 12.1 and used it for a little over a month, trying the various Nightly updates.
I decided to go back to the stock rom I had backed up previously, It restores successfully but when I boot the phone everything is crashing once it hits the home screen, "Unfortunately xxxx has stopped" is seen over and over, I can't load anything, even the settings menu crashes.
I then tried rebooting into TWRP and did Factory reset but when I do this It wont ever get past the Samsung logo on reboot.
Not sure what went wrong with the backup or if Im missing a step? I also tried enabling the verify MD5 check option for the Backup and it says everything is fine.
For now I'm back in CM 12.1, Any ideas appreciated!

Have you tried the wipe option.. for a clean install?
Good afternoon everyone.
I have a huge problem. When I got my OP one back in 2014 I flashed it, installed CWM and CM and later switched to LineageOS. Everything worked fine until today. For some reason, after I installed lineage-18.1-20210415-nightly-bacon-signed.zip, my phone is now booting but after a while, while still booting it shuts itself down and restarts into recovery mode!? Does anyone know how to fix this? Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you and stay safe.
EDIT: So far I wiped user data and dalvik cache but nothing seems to work. Is there anyway to fix this without loosing all data/apps on my phone?

You already lost apps by wiping data, but you still have your photos.
If you had GApps installed before android version upgrade, you now need to flash android 11 GApps. Wiki.lineageos.org tells you what and how.
Thank you for your help. Surprisingly for some reason I found a work around as the unofficial GApps didn't work as well. I wiped data again, so the apps were gone (it took me 3 hours to restore that), but all files were still there and I flashed back to 17.1 with GApps and it worked. Phone is working same way as before. Guess I will wait a LOOOOOOOONG time now until I will try 18.1 again. But again thank you
