[Q] Stuck at "starting apps" bootscreen after restoring backup stock rom - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

i tried to flash this rom [Unofficial] 5.0.2 CM 12 -Matrixzone to my sgh-i747m bell s3 with 4.3stock rom using philz touch 6. It works fine after a couple of hours it started hanging up and randomly reboots. I tried to restore to my backup but after it successfully restore my backup it boots up with the stock boot screen then proceeds to install the apps for stock 4.3 but after optimizing x/114 apps it is now stuck in starting application. i leave it for almost an hour but it is still stuck in there it just keeps on loading and loading.
I tried to wipe cache/dalvik cache/factory reset but still no luck
edit: can i just reflash stock rom via odin, will it also remove the root access i have as of now?
I can still install and run the Unofficial Cm 12 rom

[Q] LiquidSmooth crashing after flashing gapps or kernal?

I just switched ROMs to LiquidSmooth 4.2.2 after using a 4.1.2 for a while. I wiped dalvik, cache, data, and system, did a clean install of the ROM, and booted it up just fine and was able to set it up with my account, do titanium backup for some apps, etc.
After doing all of this, I went back into recovery to flash a different kernel (AOSP uber kernel for 4.2.2) and after the phone did its "optimizing apps" thing during boot, right when the lockscreen appeared my phone crashed and said "unfortunately com.android.phone" has stopped and proceeded to boot cycle.
I decided to wipe the same 4 partitions again and reinstall the ROM once again to start over. This time, I set it up the same way, went into recovery to flash the latest 4.2.2 gapps, and the same com.android.phone crashing bootloop thing started up again after rebooting my phone.
What gives?

[Q] Stuck in recovery mode bootloop!

Hello everyone,
This is what is happening to me. I was trying to flash Miroslav's Cyanogenmod 11 RC2 with Philz Touch 6.07.9, but none of the recomended methods worked for me, I just got stuck on lg logo bootloop - I really want this rom but it is hard as f**k to flash -. So I tried to go back to CM 10.2.1 and got the "Status 7" error. Very frustrated, I finally used my stock recovery image and it worked fine.
From this point, i was recovering my apps and data using titanium back up and when it finished, a notification asked if I wanted the official system update. I refused it and proceded to reboot. Now the phone boots instantly to recovery mode and show the purple screen of Philz touch. First I wiped cache and dalvik and got the same bootloop. Then I wiped cache, dalvik and factory reset and got the same bootloop. Finally, I formated system, factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik and flashed again my recovery image, and got again the recovery mode bootloop.
Any Ideas? Thank you for your help.
Best regards.
EDIT: I must clarify that when I flash my recovery image, it ALWAYS get suck on a part that says something like "installing android security". I have to press power button 10 seconds to restart but it boots normaly in the stock rom.

When in vain , unbrick your phone again using unbricking guide and use CWM , not all guide is working for the same type of phone . No need to wipe system clean cache watevr **** you were told unless recommended by developer and just factory reset then flash the rom

Thanks for the answer and the advice about factory reset. Yes, I had to unbrick my phone and by the way, still could not install miroslav's cm11 RC3 using Philz touch 6.19.3.
But I have another issue: I successfully got back to CM 10.2.1 but after I restored my apps using Titanium Backup, I rebooted the phone and got stuck on CM logo for half hour. I wiped dalvik and got the same result. Then wiped cache and dalvik and still stuck. What should I do? Flash again the rom? The restored data is from CM 10.2.1 so I don't see any problem....

check again what you restore, user apps will have no problem to restore but system apps will cause incompatibility to the rom and crash it

The phone is good now, I restored the stock rom and from there I flashed CM 10.2.1 just making a factory reset. Plus I flashed adreno drivers and gapps. Once it booted, I restored my apps without sistem data and now the phone works properly.
Thank you Mr.201

Glad it worked, make sure you untick 'system' in filter in titanium backup so that you can only see your user apps .

Flashing any rom results in infinite boot

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.

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!

Note 2 gets stuck at boot animation

Hi,
I had been using Resurrection Remix Lollipop rom for over a year when last week, on manually rebooting, it would not get past the RR boot animation.
Using CWM recovery I tried factory reset/wipe cache/wipe Dalvik cache to no avail.
I then tried flashing a new rom CM13
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/orig-development/rom-t3342449
I discovered that CM13 boots fine if I do not flash gapps. However, as soon as I flash gapps, the phone gets stuck on the CM boot animation. I have tried the following gapps packages, downloaded from opengapps:
open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20160916.zip
open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20160919.zip
open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160919.zip
Thanks for any ideas how to resolve this
Maybe flash back to stock with Odin, factory wipe, and start over?
I have since had success by replacing CWM with the latest TWRP and then re-flashing CM13 and gapps.
(Had to flash CM13 and gapps twice, though, to get rid of a "unfortunately play services has stopped" error during first set up!)
Crossing fingers it will all be ok now, otherwise will try as you suggest audit13, many thanks

[Samsung S5 klte] Updating LOS results in boot loop

Hi,
I got a problem updating my Galaxy S5 (klte):
I'm running 14.1 2017-05-17_nightly (Android 7.1.1), which I want to update with TWRP 3.1.0-1
After update I get stuck during boot. I hangs showing the LOS logo for hours. The only solution is to du a fresh reinstall. Recovering previously backed-up app data from Titanium works well, but recovering system settings results in a bootloop again, it happens no matter if I wipe Cache/Dalvik or not.
I tried flashing another nightly (which worked, as a clean install, not as an update) and updating from there on. But same results. Any update from any version gets me stuck. Only thing that works is a complete wipe and reinstall.
I also flashed a stock ROM with Odin, reinstalled TWRP, flashed LOS, but still updating results in a bootloop.
Having to go through a clean reinstall for every update is really time consuming.
Any idea what is going on here?
