[Samsung S5 klte] Updating LOS results in boot loop - LineageOS Questions & Answers

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?

[Q] Stuck at "starting apps" bootscreen after restoring backup stock rom

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

Stuck in bootloop. Fastboot and recovery working just fine.

Background:
1. Was on the latest Resurrection Remix. Made a Backup with TWRP.
2. Went back to stock [MTC20F] using this.
3. Updated to 7.0 using this threads 7.0 OTA.
4. Made a Backup in TWRP.
I restored the backup from point 1, but now my phone won't boot anymore.
It shows the boot animation for about 1 second. Goes black and reboots.
I tried restoring to 6.0.1 using the method in point 2 -> same problem.
Tried restoring to 7.0.0 using the same method -> same problem.
After that, I tried restoring from both of my TWRP backups. Neither of them get any further.
So, no matter what I do I cant get past the first second of the boot animation.
I'm out of ideas, any help is greatly appreciated!
TWRP version 3.0.2.1

Did you boot into recovery and do a factory reset in there. Sometimes that works.

Yep, every time I try to restore something I wipe everything. Also tried to lock and unlock the bootloader. No Luck.
Also tried wipe and erasing every partition possible, flashing an older 6.0.1 build.
Am I SOL? I tried anything google would give me....
Hey, I'm currently in the very same situation. Was on 6.0.1 stock rooted, applied 7.0 OTA using the beta program. Then for various reasons wanted to roll back to where I was with 6.0.1, but now the device just constantly reboots. I have wiped everything I can, tried to flash the factory images multiple times, but nothing seems to do the trick.
same problem here
i was on rooted android n preview 5 with twrp recovery and root, i applied 7.0 ota and then it bricked
now it starts up till bootscreen with the 4 coloured dots it freezes and goes in a bootloop but fastboot and recovery working fine
flashed a factory image wiped everything tried diffrent things restored a twrp backup but nothing
now im going to try to flash 7.0 ota again
Also in the same situation :crying:. Gets to the boot animation for 1 second then freezes and restarts.
Updated to 7.0 and got stuck in a bootloop.
Then tried restoring my TWRP backup to no avail.
Then tried flashing 6.0.1 factory image and still no luck.
Done factory resets, wiped system, data partitions etc, and still same problem.
If anyone has any other ideas that would be greatly appreciated!
this is what i tried so far
-wiped and restored 3 diffrent backups
-full wipe and flashed diffrent roms
-flashed factory image 6.0 and 6.0.1
-flashed 7.0 ota zip in twrp (extracted and flashed system.img and vendor.img )
-flashed factory image and used stock recovery to flash 7.0 ota.zip trough ADB sideload
i think im going to relock the bootloader and just send it back to google for a repair
I'm on the same situation
32 hours after updating to final 7.0 from stock dp5 the device turned off and stuck on boot animation
it seems like google did something wrong...
Looks like some people with the 6P are having the same issue as well. Still no fix either.

I've had the same problem. I was coming from from a Pure Nexus install and thought i'd have a look at 7 so I made a full backup in TWRP then installed the lastest TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-1-bullhead). Then did a full wipe all bar internal storage and flashed radio/bootloader zip and Stock+ rom from the tupac4u thread which worked fine. Upon deciding there were a few dealbreakers for me I decided to go back to PN. So I booted back into TWRP, wiped again and restored the previously made backup. that's when I was getting the boot to 4 dots and reboot bootloop. I tried everything flashing various MM roms, and flashing 7 again, different roms / vendor images / full wipes including int storage, all via TWRP and ADB to no avail.
Though this evening I decided to go to an even earlier version of TWRP (twrp-3.0.0-1-bullhead) and try everything again. I flashed that and tried the repair filesystem on all the partitons I could, one of them gave an error I can't remember what it was. After doing that I did a full wipe and restored my PN backup, everything ticked. I then rebooted with everything crossed and it worked, it booted without any problems! (apart from the fact i'd forgot to remove the pin security before backing up so had to reflash anyway! which also worked). I can't be sure which part of that fixed it but if it helps anyone else that's great!
People with this problem - Does flashing new Factory Image 7.0.0 (NRD90M) fix something?
Just curious.

Nope, changed nothing in my case at least. At this point I'm just going to use the warranty card to get out of this mess, as nothing seems to revive the device.

Type fastboot -w flash falsh vendor vendor.img then restore from your twrp backups

OMG I finally got mine to work
I'll note down the exact steps , most of which may or may not be relevant
1) Flashed MTC20F using TWRP 3.0.2-1
2) Booted into recovery and wiped everything and the partitions
- Add - Booted back into twrp 3.0.2-1 and then swiped to allow modifications
3) Then fastboot flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0
4) Restored my backup ( except recovery)
5) Still got stuck in the google screen.
Now the next parts are a bit weird
6) Booted into TWRP, flashed vendor.img from pure nexus rom
7) wiped everything except internal storage
8) Flashed vendor.img, pure nexus rom and gapps and then flashed vendor.img again
9) Rebooted and it worked
Let me know if it worked for you guys or if you need any more help

Did that yesterday (With my N6P), will see what will come out of it. (Service guys said, that ''Oh, it's nothing serious, tomorrow (today) you will get your phone back (hopefully in working condition)''. I'm not so sure about that
(EDIT: Before I took my phone to warranty service, I flashed latest MM factory image and locked bootloader, maybe it was unnecessary, but I wanted to be sure, that phone looks fresh, maybe it was a big mistake.)
I had the same Bootloop issue, and it's all because of TWRP 3.0.2-1 !!! I have just reverted back to TWRP 3.0.2-0, and my backup restored just fine. There's no point for all that flashing. Just revert the TWRP.
Oh my... Guess what? My backup is corrupted...
Edit: maybe this can help, before bricking with full factory image, I flashed bootloader, radio, boot, vendor, system, Elementalx and supersu, wiped data and booted and work.
But I had problems with suspersu installed as systemless (it didn't work), so I flashed factory image. And bootlooped.
So, I'd say that what's causing issue is userdata, recovery or cache.

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

Lineage OS 14.1 Boot Problem on Galaxy S4 Mini (3G)

Hello ,
I downloaded required files: Lineage OS 14.1(serrano3gxx) , GApps etc. I wiped dalvik cache, data, factory, cache, system and boot. Then, I flashed firstly Lineage OS zip file. Secondly, before rebooting I flashed GApps. I did not take any error. Finally, I did reboot system but phone stuck at loading screen. I have not passed loading screen, yet. Actually, I followed every steps true. Where did I make mistake ? What do you think ? Do you know any solution ?
Also, I did try MIUI Rom and other versions of Lineage Rom. Situations were same.
I did back up my device. But, it is giving error when restoring /data partition. So, I cannot pass loading sreen in any way. This causes that I cannot do anything right now.
Note: I am using CWM Recovery. My phone was rooted. I am using Custom Kernel.
If you want more information, please report
Important Edit: I tried Lineage Rom 15 and it worked. First, I waited several minutes but i worked without any problem. I guess there is no problem for me.

Stuck on boot animation, wipe succesfull but nothing is wiped

Hey guys,
Okay so long story short, i went through a lot of reinstalling magisk modules and battery twrp mods, one time the reboot took longer than usual, so i wiped caches and rebooted and its fixed. Later on, i decided to uninstall a magisk module, so i rebooted, and now im stuck.
Thats not the problem tho, the huge problem is that twrp is failing to wipe partitions, it says that partitions are successfully wiped, but theyre not. Because of this issue i cant reflash my rom and fix the problem.
I tried rebooting from twrp and it booted, but then it immediately reboots again and its back to bootlooping.
I tried changing to a different twrp, the twrp install is successfull, but still not able to wipe partitions.
I alr tried reflashing my rom, but no luck, i need to wipe my partitions but my phone just cant do it,
Pls help
Update
Now it says error creating f stab everytime i wipe or install roms
