[Q] CM 10.2 bootloop, after successful boot

Hey all,
I've been running CyanogenMod 10.1.3 (Stable) since it came out, and used the Nightlies for many months prior to this.
I recently decided to try the CM 10.2 nightlies, and successfully booted into CM 10.2-20131107. I let Google play restore my apps, and then decided to run "Fix Permissions" and reboot for good measure, however my device was stuck in a boot loop (Google screen with lock) for approximately 10 minutes, before I decided it definitely wasn't going to boot.
This is the second time this hapoened, the first time being with an earlier 10.2 nightly. I assumed it was an issue with that build, but ive found no other reports of my particular issue (I apologise if I am wrong about that, its hard to know exactly what to search for!)
Prior to install, I wiped everything (System, Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data and data/media) for good measure.
I use TWRP.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I've wiped everything, and gone back to 10.1.3 now with no issues, so at least I have a functioning device.
All I wanted was natively supported TRIM..

Problem Booting

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

bootloop or something like it after updating CM

First, for shortening and simplicity let's use cm versions only last numbers (cm-12.1-20151230-NIGHTLY-nicki will be 30 etc.).
I will arrange my short story in points for better understanding, let's begin here:
- I installed CM 23 (it's 12.1 but the number is for nightly like shown higher) and updated to 26, everything was fine
- quick install of Open Gapps, my apps and doing settings stuff, everything fine
- wild update to 30 appeared, i updated it and it was not very effective
- device rebooted, flashed update automatically, optimized apps aaaaand it got stuck on finishing boot. it was fully ok and responding cause a sound played when i plugged it to charging, it was showing touches ( i set it to show em before update), but it was stuck. So i took battery out and it started to boot, after couple of seconds screen brightness turned down as in every normal booting, boot animation slowed and lagged a few times but then continued to bootloop. Here is a list of things i tried:
- rebooting of course
- clearing cache and dalvik in twrp, then it just optimized apps again and got stuck on starting apps
- wiping data, still bootloop
- wiping everything and installing fresh CM 30
Only the last worked but i lost everything i installed etc. I made a backup of data partition but it restored only some apps ( not even gapps) and settings for some reason.
so after installing everything again i lived it for a while, but because it is a nightly a new update was posted! CM 104
- i downloaded it in cm updater as every other update (btw flashing cm 26 and then 30 from .zip gave the same result), installed it, and it worked soo...
- two days later another update appeared(cm 106), i check every update changelog and this one was big.
- happy of last successful update i just updated it but this time it didn't worked so well
everything is the same as updating 26 to 30, and here we are it got stuck on finishing boot, i took battery out, bootloop, clearing cache and dalvik, optimizing apps, got stuck on starting apps, system fully responding to the same things. i turned the phone down and started this thread.
I have a full backup of everything on another sd with cm 30 and installed apps, but because system is responding i think you guys can help me. i don't want to do a clean install every time a not working update appears. I could stay on last working version, but i'm a type of a person who wants everything updated even if won't give me anything new so staying on last working version from backup is only accepted if you guys won't have any solution or at least idea.
Big thanks for everyone that will bring anything here and probably save some time another happy cm user
EDIT: also, i can restore that backup i have and install version 104, and then figure out how to install it properly

my own idea
so, now i have restored my backup and when i have some free time i'll try to install fresh cm without gapps and update it a few versions, if it'll work problem solved. i will have to just clear cache and dalvik after every update and flash gapps. I only want to ask, if it will work, will flashing gapps with the old ones installed make any issues?

Try to re install rom after full wipe

i specially wrote this thread with extra simplicity, but you didn't read that it's working after full wipe, i'm trying to install update AND save my data. read before you post and try to get some easy thank points or whatever this forum has somewhere else.

FIXED IT!!
So for everyone who's looking for answer to this problem here's the fix: after cm flashes and turns off, hold VOL+ button to go to recovery instantly then wipe cache and dalvik, flash gapps, again wipe cache and dalvik reboot. For me it worked.

[SOLVED] sprint SGS3 stuck on bootloops and crashes (tried everything)

I disassembled my phone lately for maintenance reasons, The battery was out for about 30 minutes, (My phone already had a trouble keeping the clock even though the battery was taken out for a short period), after assembling the phone, it booted up properly till the lock screen appeared and it all became black. software and hardware buttons were working properly, but the LCD itself was totally black.
I booted-up the phone in recovery mode and wiped everything from system, data, to cache, and then installed the newest version of Lineage. After booting the system gave me "process system isn't responding" and close and wait options with infinite bootloops.
I tried installing the full stock Rom and it gave me "setting has stopped working" and "google play services has stopped working".
My guess then was the time on the device, so I went back into recovery opened a shell session and fixed the time using "date" and "hwclock", but it never worked.
After searching online I found that this might be a battery issue, so I bought a new one, and guess...It didn't work either.
I really need help with this device! :crying:
_____________________________________
Solved it by installing the NJ2:
Wiped everything, then installed the stock rom using odin 3.10, after that the system kept telling me the same messages, so I went back and installed twrp 3.10 .. I guess .. then wiped everything except for the system and internal memory, then I corrected my clock using this method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/help/how-to-edit-time-hardware-time-using-t3621875
and frankly it worked! and booted up normally.
Sadly I wasn't able to install any linage version! ... I hope that I find the solution so soon!

Stuck at "phone is starting", touchscreen not responding.

Yesterday I did a dirty flash of Oxygen OS 9.0.10 on my OnePlus 5T which was initially running Oxygen OS 5.1.7 with Oreo 8.1.0. After that I flashed latest Magisk zip. After booting into system, then after the final setup of the update, I flashed franco kernel from TWRP.
Everything went smooth. All apps were functioning fine. Today in the evening, while watching YouTube, the touch stopped responding. I restarted my phone, cleared cache, dalvic, still the touch wasn't responding.
I booted in TWRP, the touchscreen wasn't responsive, therefore I used my mouse to decrypt then copied full zip of OOS 9.1.0 zip via adb from my laptop. After clearing cache, dalvic, I flashed the zip file.
After booting into system, my phone is showing the message, "phone is starting" with animated strip below it. This has been since past 45-50 minutes.
The touch is not functioning even now.
What should I do to resolve this trouble?

Has you debloat something from /system/app or priv-app? On my tablet it prevents to boot completely and stucks in this Android update loop.
Also not everytime a good idea to dirty flash to another Android major version (Oreo > Pie)!
Try a fresh install.
OxygenOS 9.0.10
No-Verity v4 (if a decrypted phone)
Boot.
Then back to TWRP
Magisk & Custom Kernel
Boot.
Restore maybe from Titanium user apps only (except Whatsapp/Threema/Telegram.. GCM/FCM notifications problems).
Flash Magisk modules.
Sent with much love and Android.

I have been having persistent problems with the touchscreen on my 5T becoming unresponsive at random times for no apparent reason for a while now (see this This thread for more info there).
I have found that when the touch screen stops responding, the ONLY thing that will get it working again is flashing back to stock firmware - I have been using 9.0.9 (didn't even realise .10 was out). Sometimes it doesn't work the first go, and I have to reflash again over the top (maybe even a couple of times) but I've never failed to get it working after a few goes.
Problem (on my phone at least) is that phone then hangs on the "just a sec" screen at first boot, but once the screen works again I do a clean flash of LineageOS so the setupwizard hanging is not a problem for me per se, except that the touch screen inevitably flakes out again - sometimes it takes a few days, sometimes it happens within minutes, but nothing I have tried has made it go away completely. I'd say it was a hardware problem except that reflashing the stock OOS ROM can bring it back to life... maybe it's some weird hard+firmware combination that is triggering it.
Anyway, reflash stock a few more times and see if that helps.
