Weird problem

Yesterday my desire wouldn't get online anymore, i rebooted it and it got stuck on the first screen.
Tried to wipe cahe, dalvik, factory reset, wipe system, boot, everyting i could wipe was done, but nothing helped.
I was running insertcoin stable rom 1.0.9
I tried to do a nandroid restore of a previous rom, that worked, but it looked all screwed up and when i pressed the menu button and took settings, i got an error that the program was no longer installed.
When i locked the phone, the bottom menu was not there anymore, i also was unable to shut down the phone, pressing the power button only locked the phone.
After a lot of messing around, i finally got the latest insertcoin rom up and running.
Weird thing is that it loads the boot animation that i installed whit the nandroid rom.
Boot time is very slow, the rom seems to run very stable and fast.
Any idea how to completely get rid of everything and start fresh ?
I'm rooted and s-oof and wanna stay that way
Thx,
Steve

If you want to start a fresh then go into recovery and wipe all the partitions, boot, system, data, cache, android_secure, ext then flash a rom

I did all that :-(
I even did a complete format of my sd card, re-partioned it.
Maybe i should do it again ?
Strange thing is that the rom seems to work fine, but the boot animation is from another rom ??
Thx for the reply,
Steve

[Q] Stuck at Android is upgrading

Was running PA latest build. I took the battery out of the phone and switched with my wife. When I tried to power it back on, it was stuck on the boot screen with the PA logo. I tried flashing the ROM over and several different PA builds and flashed Gapps and I am able to get it to go past boot and to android is upgrading and it checks all the apps but then wont boot after "Starting Apps". I fell asleep last night while trying to get it fixed and when I woke up this morning, it was still on android is upgrading, starting apps. If I wipe data, it works. but nothing changed before I took the battery out. If someone has any pointers I would really appreciate it! I would hate to loose all my data!
I did make a nandroid of everything and tried wiping certain things at a time and its only when I wipe data, it works.

Soft bricked after CM12 nightly install

Hi there,
After successfully rooting and unlocking bootloader of my Z1C I installed TWRP/philz double recovery. From there I transfered latest CM12 nightly, slim zero gapps and double recovery zip.
Recovery at first worked just fine, could factory wipe my phone and installation seemed OK. But after first boot of CM12, Google Play services kept crashing down, could not even pass first screen.
Ufter booting CM recovery I wiped factory again with cache (no dalvik option) and reinstalled CM12 but WITHOUT gapps this time. Same result, google play services kept crashing.
Now I rebooted to bootloader and only have a black screen with blue light on top.
How can I bring my phone back from the land of the dead ? Any help is appreciated

Factory Reset Problems after Unresponsive Device

Guys,
Need a little help:
My OP3 worked fine for over a month (with 3.2.2, Rooted and with latest TWRP only) and then suddenly went unresponsive i.e., screen frozen. When I restarted the device, it stuck on boot animation. I tried to restored a week old nandroid backup and it stuck at restoring system partition and then... ERROR 7. I tried the factory reset and got the same result... ERROR 7. I tried flashing the from the scratch as well as formatting all partition, still no luck and ERROR 7 persisted.
I switched to OP3 recovery and wiped data and cache and the wiping worked but... when i tried to push the rom, it didn't work and it was stuck. i flashed twrp again and tried sideload, still no luck, it got stuck at 4%. I did a wipe again and tried to restore the old backup and the restore simply got stuck (no error - i waited for 30 mins).
So, my question is two part (before i send the device back to OnePlus): any idea what is going on and how can i fix it? and is there any other way i can try to do an absolutely clean install of rom and try if that works?
Thanks,

Answering my own question: device sent to OnePlus and the issue was identified as faulty motherboard.

Phone keeps Crashing on Boot animation, No iMEI, Wifi, Bluetooth. Restart loop.

This a bit of a long short story, so please bear with me for a while.
I first unblocked my Lenovo K5 Vibe Plus a6020a46 (India) in 2017 and using TWRP I had flashed the AEX Oreo v5.7 ROM. It was a great change and everything else was working fine for a long time.
Fast forward to 2020, I felt the phone was slowing down so I clean flashed AEX Pie v6.7 using TWRP, the ROM worked slick but after some time weird problems started to rise. Here's the chronology of what happened:
1. While using some apps the phone used to freeze, then shutdown. A restart would solve the problem for a while. But the lag used to remain.
2. The same problem repeated after a while but this time the phone went into bootloop.
3. I wiped cache, tried other solutions but nothing worked out so I reflashed the same ROM after a clean wipe. Phone worked fine for a week but then slowed down and finally crashed (This happened 2 times.)
4. After a week it was different, this time the boot animation would get stuck, then the phone would crash. So I reflashed again but when I booted up the phone there was no SIM service, no iMEi, No Wifi, No IP, Bluetooth.
5. I thought this AEX Pie ROM to be a problem so I flashed Arrow OS, Paranoid OS, AEX Oreo version, AEX 10 version but the problem remained: The phone would boot, boot animation stuck, and the phone would crash. This loop is where I am now.
I followed THIS GUIDE and tried reverting back to Official Stock ROM using QFIL. The flash was successful but the phone wouldn't bootup and went into a restart loop.
Here are some more important details:
1. The recovery mode is working fine. I can flash and wipe but I sometimes get the error of "Unable to mount" on Data, System and Cache partition which is solved with a format.
2. I can also get into Fastboot mode, EDL mode for QFIL flash.
3. I can also view all files and folders from TWRP Filemanager.
TLDR; Phone keeps crashing on boot, reverting to stock ROM also leads to restart loop, the phone shows no SIM, Wifi, iMEi, IP, etc. Tried wipe, clean flash, format which is successful but the problem remains. HELP!

"4. After a week it was different, this time the boot animation would get stuck, then the phone would crash. So I reflashed again but when I booted up the phone there was no SIM service, no iMEi, No Wifi, No IP, Bluetooth."
This is caused by bad ROM flashing ( when your flash wasn't entirely successful). You can fix this by reflashing. This could also happen if you downgraded, so go back to the version uou were on and see if this did it. You can fix IMEI with root if you want, I saw a thread for another phone: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/fix-persist-resolve-imei0-explanation-t3825147 see if this could help.
"Animation Stuck"
This could be a problem with the ROM and data/cache, try factory resetting. Otherwise, it is also a problem with the ROM
In any case, I would redownload and reflash Stock ROM again and see if it still happens.
