I've spent about 3 days and worked closely with a few knowledgeable people outside of this forum. I'm desperate and a bit terrified to start this topic. I've read too many to know how frustrating it to answer the same questions over and over again.
In short:
a.) Was running CM9, flashed using CWM. (Did not have issues and have flashed in the past with other roms successfully)
b.) Went to flash another ROM (can't remember which one) and did not back up (big mistake, troll away)
c.) Cannot get phone to start, can flash roms all day long and only get to their boot/splash screens. It will sit there until my battery dies
d.) I've tried Galaxy Nexus Toolkit and Wugs
e.) I've installed TWRP and formatted drive
f.) I've read and followed 3 full days of different forums and still can't figure this out. I've tried so many things it would take forever to type.
I'm severely desperate.
Will someone help me start from scratch and walk me through a surefire process. At this point, I'm lost. Nothing seems to work.
Apologies in advance and I am willing to accept the bad vibe. I'm lost.
Phone is a Verizon Galaxy Nexus
Did you try fully wiping, formatting /system, flashing a ROM and wiping cache after that? Or flashing another kernel?
Wow finally something
Wow! I finally got something to load. I'm on 4.0.2. I need to get back to jelly bean.
Wow, I'm stuck in nearly the same rut as you are in right now.
Experienced flasher here too - I was using the Xylon v18 until now, and Paranoid Android 2.99 before this. Yesterday night my phone rebooted after some weird Contacts application opening issue. And kept rebooting. One backup restore said there was an I/O error in /data/data/com.android.contacts or something. The backup never booted.
I have TWRP 2.4.0.0.
I tried new ROMs, different ROM backups, a few kernels, formatting /data including internal memory, tried Adb sideloading (said Read Only file system), finally installed Xylon v18 through Usb-otg, but it refused to go beyond Google logo. Restored a backup through OTG, and the same continues.
Could someone tell me what could be going on here?
I swear I was about to put in a post similar to the OP.
Thanks for the headsup just_some_dude, I'll go try an ICS rom now.

Edit1 : So it looks like my phone wanted to remind me what it feels like to actually jump with joy!
Installed the deodexed version of stock rom, and after a failed first boot, "Android is upgrading".
Edit2: Scratch that, couldn't get through phone setup. Changed to CWM 6.0.2.3. Flashed radio and RIL, PA2.99 again, and for now it seems to be working.

I was able to IMM76K, but phone wants to push newer version. I can't upgrade newer version without it getting stuck on that splash screen for the rom. I'm putting IMM76K back on.
So, weird. So much of this is not making sense to me.
Rebooting continuing for me despite different kernel and cache/dalvik wipes.
I'm sorry, absolutely not trying to hijack this thread. Only writing symptoms incase anyone notices something they have gone through too.
Baah, this is going to properly spoil my weekend.
Why not try to go back to stock by flashing the stock images first? At least you'd know if the phone works...
Thank you for the input.
I did, but in the zip, deodexed form. For me, all things are now pointing to Wifi causing the reboots, even when the Stock 4.2.1 was used I couldn't go past phone setup.
On PA2.99, after switching wifi off as soon as it booted, the phone is now stable for 10 minutes for the first time in 8 hours of trial-and-error.
Shouldn't XXLH1 flashing have fixed such things?
FIXED! It was a corrupted /data partition, which showed the /data/media or /sdcard was already 11 gb full after a full wipe with TWRP.
A /data and /data/media format with CWM did the trick!

For reference, that's not going back to stock. Back to stock means flashing the Google factory image, which would have also formatted your data partition, so do that in future

Ah, I did not know flashing the image wiped data partition as well, thanks!
I stopped looking for the image when I couldn't find JOP40G on the site. Classic case of beggars trying to be choosers. :cyclops:
I just tried to flash mmuzzy and gapps using wugs and am sitting at the Jelly Bean 'X' splash screen. I set it up so wugs would wipe data cache and Dalvik. Don't know what it is, but I cannot get Jelly Bean on this phone.
Tried flashing the Stock factory image? Not through recovery, but through fastboot. That is what I did ultimately.
Actually, my problem was deeper. My /userdata partition had some errors. On going through some posts here on /data partition corruption issues, these links helped me a lot, and made the phone ultimately much smoother than it ever was!
Definitely try the e2fsck command through adb shell while in recovery with /data partition unmounted. Try this before you flash a stock ROM image.
Here you go. I think these should help you too:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1541379&page=4
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025675
3. http://linux.101hacks.com/unix/e2fsck/ - e2fsck command options if you need help.
If adb asks you to 'check forced' because it finds problems, just use
Code:
adb shell "e2fsck -f /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/userdata"
I'm guessing it was all a result of months of flashing huge amount of ROMs. :angel:
So my phone is stuck in bootloop. and I cant get my phone to boot correctly.
To start, I was running 4.2.2 AOKP for about half a year and it started to not work as well. Force closing alot, freezing etc. So I decided it was time to update. While I was running AOKP, I experienced bootloop almost every time I turned off my phone. This became regular, but by pulling the battery and trying again (sometimes I had to do with a few times) it always got working again.
I went and found the new 4.3 Carbon ROM and decided that looked cool and would be a nice upgrade. So I downloaded it and the new 4.3 gapps. Put them on an external sd card, and put it into my phone. I then booted into CWM and did a factory reset. Then I went and installed the Carbon from the external sd, installed gapps, and rebooted immediately. I was then, and still am, stuck in a bootloop.
I can restart my phone go back into clockwork.
But I cant get the phone, despite all my efforts, to boot correctly. I have tried to wipe caches, wipe dalvik, format system. All of it. yet I cannot boot correctly.
I really need a working phone. Any help would be really great.
Thanks all
Also, I am using TWRP 2.6.3 to do the flash of the Carbon after it failed the first time

2.6.3.0 seems to be giving many people issues. You need to install 2.6.1.0.
And is your radio up to date? Only 2 work...the new T-Mobile and Telus radios.
After those 2 things are taken care of, you should be fine. Tho lots of things can cause boot loops, and there's many.. many posts about it. If my suggestions don't help.....Search and read up. Try some various fixes.
Maybe try a different rom too.

Hope you did a nandroid backup in recovery? Restore it if so. If not, you may need to start from scratch and Odin flash stock rom, flash recovery and root again.

flash stock rom zip via odin then you should be good to root and try to flash another custom rom again:good:
I have followed the instructions from Max at galaxynote4root http://galaxynote4root.com/galaxy-note-4-root/how-to-root-unlock-bootloader-on-galaxy-note-4/5/. I got all the way through to the final step which is go into TWRP recovery, install the Oscar kernel and SuperSU zip files. I did not extract these files. Once I did that I got into a boot loop. I get by the Verizon logo to the UI and then it starts rebooting. Since there is not much discussion activity at Max's site, I thought if anyone here could help me.
After the UI comes up and before it goes in the boot loop, I get messages saying "Unfortunately xxxx has stopped." It varies about sometimes it is Knox. S Pen, Google Play, etc.
Try a factory reset by going into recovery and wiping delvik, cache, and data

That improved the situation. It is no longer in a constant boot loop, but it will still reboot when I manually start it or reboot it. When it starts it says "unfortunately KNOX has stopped running." It was doing that before, too.
I have confirmed I have root and and unlocked bootloader.
Redownload the rom.
Wipe data, cache, dalvic cache and system.
Install rom
Then kernel
And supersu.
Reboot and you should be fine

If it continues I'd get a Odin flushable and use the pit file for repatriationing of the system. Maybe something went wrong..... Idk
Just a quick question: Did you use a micro SD card as part of the process? Did you remove this card after you were done unlocking the bootloader?
I know the process has you reformat the card, but I am asking if you have tried booting with the card removed.

OK, tried that, and it worked--once. When I reboot with the SD card out, it either won't start or goes back into a boot loop.

Although it didn't seem very warm to me, I pulled the battery and let it sit for an hour. When I started it back up, everything was fine.
However, how do I re-enable the use of the SD card. I am afraid if I put in back in, I'll go back into the boot loop?

You'll need to connect the micro sd card itself to the computer and format it there. I have used Rufus (https://rufus.akeo.ie/) in the past to do this, but you may use any formatting program that you are familiar with. I recommend FAT32 as your format unless you move files over 4 GB to and from the card.
Thanks. I've rebooted it a couple of times after doing this, and it still is working! Now, should I install a 6.0 ROM or leave well enough alone?

It will depend on what version of firmware you are currently running. Most 6.0 ROMs require that you are using N910VVRU2CPD1 or N910VVRU2CPF3 for proper use. Please go into About Phone in Settings and check the Baseband Version field to make sure that you have one of those two in there. Flashing a 6.0 ROM with 5.1.1 firmware will cause issues with mobile signal and can make it impossible to use wifi.
If you find that you are running 5.1.1 firmware, then you have two choices: Flash a 5.1.1 ROM and call it a day or go through the process of unlocking the bootloader for 6.0.1 firmware. It's important to note that this will be a different process than the one you just went through. Be sure to research it thoroughly before attempting it. Hsbadr is a great developer and I believe he has a process for that, but it's been a while since I did it myself.
Back in a boot loop again. Once I've loaded the system image, I can reboot several times and everything is stable. As soon as I obtain root by installing the Oscar kernel and BetaSU, the phone becomes unstable. It might boot properly at first, but I still get "XXX has failed to start" where XXX can be any of a number of apps. If I let that go on without first shutting it down, it will go into a boot loop. However, if I do shut it down and restart it will also eventually go into a boot loop. Obviously this phone can't be my daily driver until I get it stable.
Before I install the rom each time, I wipe data, cache, dalvic cache and system.
I wonder if the kernel is the issue?

I need more information to help you out. Please answer the following:
What baseband is your phone at right now? (Refer to my post above for where to find it.)
What ROM have you installed? (Be sure to include Android version as well as name)
Oscar Kernel is specifically for use with 6.0.1 Touchwiz ROMs. If you aren't on 6.0.1 and you haven't installed a Touchwiz-based ROM, then there will be issues.

Thank you. I finally figured it out. The problem was with oscar_kernel_v0.2. Instead I am using Emotion-TW-5.1.1-nightly-r21-RC1-SM-N910P. I'm going to stay with 5.1.1. The only trouble I am having now is with My Tracks not showing the map. I know it's been deprecated by Google, but it still is working on my LG G4. However, I'm not trying to hijack this thread. I'll start a new thread for this issue.
This is now the fastest phone I've used after deleting bloatware and running Nova Launcher.
Good to hear. Enjoy the phone.
Hello,
[Sorry: can't edit title]
I've been trying to install Lineage 14.1 on my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro (SM-T520), and haven't been successful.
I keep getting the message "Google Services Framework keeps stopping", sometimes alternating with the message "android.process.media has stopped".
I've used the following installation procedure:
1. Starting with the stock Samsung Android v4.4.2, I used Odin v3.1.2, to root the device, by installing
CF-Auto-Root-picassowifi-picassowifixx-smt520.tar.md
2. I used Odin to install picassowifi TWRP v2.8.7.0. I didn't use the latest v3.1.1-0, because it reboots the
device while making Nandroid backups. Available here
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/picassowifi/
3. I copied several versions of Lineage OS amd Gapps (see below) to the device's SD card
4. I used TWRP to wipe the cache/dalvic/data/system each time, using the Wipe->Advanced option
5. I used TWRP to install the Lineage OS amd Gapps as an atomic operation on the device
6. After installation, I rebooted from TWRP:
- without rooting: I get the message "Google Services Framework keeps stopping"
- with rooting, by installing SuperSU: The device enters into a boot loop, displaying the sliding Lineage logo
I followed the same procedure to update my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, and it worked flawlessly.
I tried the following Lineage OS versions, available here:
https://download.exynos5420.com/LineageOS-14.1/n2awifi/
lineage-14.1-20170506-UNOFFICIAL-n2awifi.zip
lineage-14.1-20170715-UNOFFICIAL-n2awifi.zip
I also tried the folowing Lineage OS versions, available here:
https://download.lineageos.org/n2awifi
lineage-14.1-20170608-nightly-n2awifi-signed.zip
lineage-14.1-20170713-nightly-n2awifi-signed.zip
I tried the following versions of Gapps, available here (32-bit arm, Android v7.1, stock variant):
http://opengapps.org/?api=7.1&variant=stock
open_gapps-arm-7.1-stock-20170505.ziip
open_gapps-arm-7.1-stock-20170711
I tried several combinations of these 2 packages. With all the combinations I tried, I got the results summarised above.
This post suggests installing Lineage OS alone without Gapps, and then install Webview Implementation, if not installed:
http://www.lineageosrom.com/2017/02/how-to-fix-google-play-services-error.html
When I tried this and reboot, I get the messages "android.process.media" has stopped, followed by the message "clock has stopped". When I click away these messages, and click on next on the Lineage OS screen, the device enters into a boot loop displaying the sliding Lineage logo. This agrees with the Lineage recommendation, that both packages need to be installed at the same time:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/n2awifi/install
Can anyone please help? I really don't want to go back to Android v4.4.2 on my SM-T520.
Hello so to get rid of the error I would suggest downloading samsung kies 1 not 2 or 3 and flashing completely back to stock then try rooting and flashing rom should get rid of system errors and force closes. Kies will ask you for model and serial number. Serial is found on back of the tablet. As another suggestion I would try resurrection remix by cosmox. It is very stable everything works. I just posted a link in that thread with a link to download samsung kies for a 64 bit windows and other relevant files if you need. Let me know if you need any other help. Also closer inspection of your links. I think for sm-t520 u should be using twrp Picassowifi, not n2awifi so idk if that will work or not. Not sure about that part though because they may have made it work on Picasso.
Thanks paintball.
I confirm that I had used picassowifi TWRP. I've edited the original post to indicate this.
I've also tried what you suggested - I reinstalled the original stock Samsung firmware using Odin, and used TWRP to again install Lineage. Same result, still displaying the same Google Service errors.
I'll look at the Resurrection remix.
Paul
paintball,
I've found a solution, that I thought I'd post here in case anyone else has the same problem.
I wiped the cache/dalvic after each step of the installation:
Wipe-> Advanced -> wipe cache / data / dalvic / system
Install -> flash Lineage -> wipe cache/dalvic
Install -> flash Gapps -> wipe cache/dalvic
Reboot -> don't install SuRoot
I got a Music closed error during the first boot, which hasn't appeared since.
Afterwards, I used Odin to install CF-Auto-Root. The device rebooted twice after this step, but now appears to be OK.
A final problem I had was that it couldn't find my wifi SSID. I solved this by setting wifi region to Europe.

I'm having a similar issue. Mine differs in the following ways.
I was able to successfully install and run LineageOS with OpenGApps full, but reverted to a nandroid backup because I needed some information from the original install. Since then, I have been unable to get past the initial couple of screens for setting things up--and this with the constant "Google Services Framework keeps stopping" error.
I have tried most of the "fixes" I've found but to no avail. I notice that, (1) when I go to the drop-down menu and setup WiFi, as soon as the device connects to the Internet, I go to the Lineage bootup animation and get stuck there. If I hard boot from there, I can get in up to the point where I connect to the Internet (not just router, but actually get through to the Internet) and (2) I cannot enable Developer options--when I try, no matter how many times I click on the Build number, I get no indication of the options being enabled.
I have tried several permutations of Lineage OS nightlies along with various flavors of OpenGApps, with and without root, wiping cache/dalvik/data/system, wiping only some, wiping none.
I also cannot restore the backup of the running LOS that I had up (I did take a backup before going back to the original setup). When I try, I get the same results as above--as if I had backed-up an un-instantiated setup.
Any thoughts?

Hi Eckster,
I have exactly the same problem on a LG G2 with LOS 14.1. It ran July version perfectly but I didn't make a backup and now I'm stuck. Did you ever manage to fix this?
Thanks,
Kevin
Managed to solve it. I formatted all partitions _including_ data (which means you'll also loose all zips you wanted to install so make sure that adb is working). Then rebooted into the recovery. Installed as usual, worked.

:thumbsup: I was on lineage 14, all was well. I tried an old stock rom NK2, that was fine. I tried to restore lineage backup via twrp, got this problem with the framework crashing. No amount of re-flashing twrp nor lineage, gapps, modem, bootloader, etc nothing worked; always crashed right after boot to lock screen. Finally twrp "format data" - yes. Now lineage boots to welcome, no crash; restore backup - after copying it back to internal - and all is good.
I'm glad it works but why is it needed in this case to remake the filesystem on data - does it work by removing some bad file or does it work by rebuilding the ext4 and security context? this is with latest twrp twrp-3.2.1-0-klte.
Hi,
don't know if you solved it eventually, or maybe helpful for other people with the same problem. I had the same problem, spent 6 days digging around on the internet why the framework keeps stopping and crashing.
I eventually found out that:
- TWRP 3.0.2.0 is WAY more stable than 3.1.1.0 (which never succeeded in installing gapps without crashing)
- Wiping system, data, dalvik recovery and internal storage is not the only thing that needs to be done. You also need to use the 'FORMAT DATA" button (everything will be wiped from your tablet, so, as always, backups )
- After that, install the lineageOS binary, after the installation, wipe dalvik/cache, go back and install the appropriate GApps package, wipe dalvik/cache and reboot
Say whatever you need to whatever deity you prefer and wait for the tablet to boot.
I hope to be of some help to other people having the same problem

Was going crazy trying to figure out why LineageOS was encountering so many ANRs. The first time I flashed Lineage it worked beautifully but every time after that it just went nuts. This fixed it for me, thanks dude!
Note to others who may end up here, after formating data I had to install a stock ROM, then wipe and install Lineage. Lineage wouldn't install due to Updater process ended with ERROR: 7 which was because there was some bit of information that was on the data partition that showed the install script that the phone was actually a Note II. Formating data blows that info away but installing stock puts it back on.

Coming into this thread after a few hours of struggle with an old GS4 I can say that this method instantly worked for me as well.
Thanks!
Thanks for the help to resolve my issue of installation. Do you have a solution for Zoom , where my audio (cannot hear other speakers) and video is missing. Did enable access for Mic, Camera etc in App permission.

That solution didn't work. My Zoom audio still not working.
Hello, I am in need of assistance on rooting/my pixel C device.
I was trying to follow the steps outlined in this webpage: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-c/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-install-custom-t3307183/page27
The tablet by itself had 8.1 to start out.
The steps I did so far is
1. Successfully unlocked the bootloader (the 30 second boot time and the beeping noise)
2. Installed TWRP
3. Installed superSU via TWRP
4. flashed the AOSP kernel from this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-c/development/rom-t3569215
5. Upon system reboot, I noticed two issues:
Issue 1: The apps is pretty empty, including no google play store. I am guessing this was by design, to keep things simple. In addition, I think the original author was saying to install opengapps manually.
Issue 2: Every time I boot to system, I get the message "google connectivity service stopped" error in the beginning (that wording might not be precise). I was able to connect to wifi and bluetooth with no problem, but maybe the connectivity service is responsible for something else, and it is concerning.
6. Another thing I noticed is an issue is when I boot back into TWRP, my internal storage is 0mb. In research it sounds like I need to implement some sort of passcode, as it might be due to the internal storage being encrypted (although I didn't set up any manual encryption myself).
However, when I boot back into system and look, there is no way to set up a screen lock passcode. There is a method to encrpyt the tablet data, but I didn't pursue that, because it projected a long wait time. (If this will indeed fix the problem I will do so)
If I format data through the twrp system, the internal storage comes back.
7. Nonetheless, I was hoping I can still navigate through the system if I just install opengapps. Therefore, I went to opengapps.org, and chose the arm64, 7.1 stock file to download, as this was the default choice it offered (and I couldn't find 8.1- please let me know what the correct one to install is)
8. I then used adb sideload to install the gapps. (As I couldn't access the internal storage)
9. Now, when I try to reboot to system, the TWRP recovery keeps on coming up, every time. Essentially a TWRP bootloop.
My wish is to just get back to the stock 8.1 os with root. Even if I go through a format erase on twrp, the aosp design defaults. Maybe it isn't completely erased?
I have been working days and nights. Maybe it is because I am a novice and a total newb on the pixel C, but looking everywhere it shows similar yet different suggestions, and hasn't been giving me what I am looking for.
Any insight/advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for reading my long post.
I think I found the correct gapps just by a Google search. It is unfortunate that they're not just out there in plain view on the OpenGapps site. So you flashed the 7.1 apps, and did you get an error message while trying to flash them via TWRP?
To be quite honest, I had a lot of difficulty rooting and flashing a ROM on the Pixel C, myself. The process took me a couple days. I really had to play around with the drivers and the SDK...the latest wouldn't install to my computer unless I installed it using Android Studio. Once I finally had everything set up right, which I can't even remember how I had it set up, it worked. One ROM I flashed didn't boot, and the Lineage one did. Now, I'm on Resurrection Remix, my favorite ROM ever! Hope this helps!

Hi, I have a suggestion for ya, You can either flash your tablet with the stock rom : https://developers.google.com/android/images , change the recovery to twrp and root your system with supersu Or you can install lineage 15.1 (oreo) + opengapps oreo 8.1 + supersu/magisk15 don't forget to change the vendor image and the boot image also if you want to have access on your internal storage on twrp. Hope that it will help you.
Thanks guys. Since this time, I was able to try different things and was able to get things rooted and erased using a combination of twrp and the original stock rom.
However, during this process, the TWRP recovery was overwritten with the stock one, and when I try to re-flash the twrp recovery using adb (at the Fastboot, using command: Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img ), command line just stalls with no progress.
Has anybody else encountered this before? Any way to re-flash the twrp file? thanks in advance.
