I updated to 6.0.4.3. so I could install gapps 4.4 since i read it was required. First I tried gapps 4.4 with cm11 and it wouldnt boot, just had a black screen. tried rebooting into recovery to retry the installation after wiping system but the recovery wouldnt properly load, couldnt get past cache wipe. Afterwards I downgraded back to 5.0.2.6 to install CM10.2 so i could try installing 6.0.4.3 through ROM Manager. I think gapps is freezing up cwm because it still happened again with the touch cwm 6.0.4.3 while trying to install cm 11 with gapps. i downloaded the package from galaxys2root.com and first i thought it was just a faulty upload because many people were posting comments on it with no resolution. Then I came here and downloaded the new Hellkat and BeanStalk ROMS and Hellkat did the same thing where cwm froze at cache wipe and i downgraded back to 5.0.2.6. although after I downgraded to that cwm, the Hellkat boot animation is continuous. I'll try BeanStalk next. I've been using darkside sper wipe and cache wipe with the installation of these.
Ok, I've tried the Pac man, Hellkat, Hellfire, and the latest Cyangenmod 11. All of them seem to install ok. Doing a full wipe before hand. All of them seem to be working ok but every one of them will not reboot. At first the bootloader FireFireFire version 1.4 seems to take it's time but then the rom's boot animation finally comes up and that's where it sits. I've tried going back into recovery and wiping data, wiping caches. Wiping data does let it reboot but then I can't get it to boot again after that.
which twrp version? should be 2.6.3.0 or newer

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!
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?
Hi everyone, recently I flashed Pixeldust rom with the twrp recovery (I did all the wipe: sistem, all both cache and data before flash). Everything seems worked fine but when I tried to reboot the system, my cell stuck on bootloop. It loads the half first animation of the rom, with the flying dots by google and after it goes in bootloop. I tried everything, I don't know if depends from rom. I tried to flash other roms and it happens the same things. Please help me.
EDIT: after pixeldust I also flashed Pixelrom but the result was the same.
