[Q] Bootloop with TWRP but not with Philz ??

Hello all,
I found a workaround to my issue but cannot get any explanations so i ask
Each time i install TWRP recovery, my phone is stuck in a bootloop : Note 2 logo, Teamwin logo and note 2 logo, etc etc...
To get my phone boots i need to flash Philz recovery via Odin and that's all...
little issue is that i prefer twrp recovery (for some options missing in philz) and planned to test DN3 rom and according to the FAQ, install via philz needs to format ext SD and i do not want to do this
i am under XXDMG1 Bootloader and this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531989, yes it is a non wipe odex rom and yes i was to lazy to do a proper install so this one was good to test first leaks of 4.3 so yes i sometime experience some random reboots (that's why i wanted to test another rom) !
if i rememer well, issue with bootloop whan using twrp happened the first time i tested it when i attempted to root my phone with stock rom...
thank you in advance for answers or suggestions

The FAQ never stated to wipe "ext SD card" ,it advised you wipe your internal/phone memory and what you can do is install the ROM via latest philz 6.25 or 6.26.0 let the ROM boot go through the set up screen and then you can switch recoveries to twrp ,and reboot.The phone shouldn't bootloop anymore

you are right, i did not read well, faq said :
5: Format Internal SDCard (in mounts and storage) and do Factory reset (I will install a new ROM option in PhilZ)
so i do not matter format internal sd caus i did a backup... i installed latest philz recovery, i may update boot loader XXDMG1 to MJ5 before flash DN3 ?

Yes if you have any contents on your internal sd card make a back up and then wipe it clean using the options in philz, and after flashing your ROM upgrade to MJ5 bootloader for working wifi but let me tell you that none of the 4.3 Bootloaders would charge your phone when running 4.4.2 when turned off so if that's of importance to you ,you would want to upgrade to KitKat bootloader which is ND3 but it's knoxed meaning you cannot downgrade to 4.1.2 only 4.3 is possible plus warranty is void. I'll link you up with ND3 bootloader incase you decide to switch later but MJ5 is a must to have.

mj5 is a must for any ROM over 4.1.2 some people used the wifi patch from dr.ketan's thread but it seems the wifi patch is not enough when being on bootloader older than mj5 while running 4.4 ROM so mj5 is the minimum bootloader requirement to have properly working wifi connection and then upgrade to ND3 bootloader later if you feel the need.Enjoy the ROM

I had that issue twice when i was flashing system fonts on my phone using philz recovery but luckily for me just pulling the battery out for sometime and restarting the font solved the issue. If you still get error try this Method if that fails then try this other Method One of them should help you out but let's pray reflashing the ROM again and properly flashing the BL again solves your issue.

Which recovery Version you are flashed on your tab?
And which root.zip you are used?
Flash Stockrom and try it again.

Im using the latest TWRP recovery 2.7.0.0 and for root i use a zip called universal root armeabi *smth like that*
I allready flashed the stockrom 3 times and i got the same result. also im using the T210XXANC2 firmware.

In CWM, wipe data and factory reset. Then go to Download mode, use Odin and flash your stock rom. That should do it.

What ROM are you trying to flash? You must have missed a step. Make sure you read the instructions carefully before doing anything and use a custom rom for your device. Try again. I'm also new to Android and has softbricked my tab a couple of times now.
Go back to stock. Let your device boot completely. Install recovery again. Reboot again.
To make it easier, how about watching a video so you can see how it's done properly? It helped me a lot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459817
Good luck.

So i have flashed (again) the stock firmware from sammobile,i rooted it,installed cwm 6.0.4.7 and then i flashed SEAL rom v4 and its not working. Its like something that doesnt let custom rom boot on my tab. Sad part is that i cant provide a logcat because the android wont boot.
EDIT: Do i have to unlock the bootloader?

Last Try,
Have you flashed The Blackhawk Kernel?
If not , Boot Into recovery, make a full wipe, flash seal ,Blackhawk Kernel ,full wipe again and reboot.
If this all not help ,post your prob at The Rom Thread.

I allready tried 3 roms(seal, 4.2.2 beta 2 and inspire) and all goes to the same result. Also, after installing the cwm i flash first the blackhawk kernel and android boots normally (stock rom with custom kernel) but custom rom with or without custom kernel wont boot.

I had similar problem try flashing seal v3.

SM-T700 Bootloop after flash of customrom, again and again

Hallo everybody, greetings from germany.
I would need some support from you guys on a bootloop case for the sm-t700. I searched my ass off in google and xda but could not find a solution.
So now after hours of trying it myself I like to ask for help.
In the following I will describe what I have done to come to this point including everything I installed etc.
The stock rom was lollipop 5.0.2 and already installed.
- usb debug mode on
- flashed via odin v.3.10.7 supersu "cf-autoroot-twrp-t700.tar"
- forgot to install busybox and rootchecker for verifying root.
- backup of IMEI/EMFS (data is now on pc)
- in recovery backup of Boot.img
- wipe data/cache/dalwik/system in one go
- flashed "Euphoria-OS-1.1-klimtwifi-UNOFFICIAL-20150812.zip"
"open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-20151013.zip"
"SkyHigh_SM-T700_kernel_TW-LL_v2.0.zip"
- rebooted and waited up to 15 - 20 min. Stopped waiting after that.
the regular samsung logo while booting shows up in intervalls from 5 to 10 minutes.
Next I wanted to do it better by installing busybox and cheking for root, because
I thought first that this could be the main cause for the bootloop.
- downloadmode
- flashed succesfully "T700XXU1BOE5_T700DBT1BOD1_HOME.tar.md5" via odin v.3.10.7 to get to stockrom again
- usb debug mode on
- downloadmode
- flashed via odin v.3.10.7 supersu "cf-autoroot-twrp-t700.tar"
- verifyied it with rootvalidator
- installed busybox
- deleted all knox stuff
- installed twrp app to get to v.2.8.7.0
- recoverymode
- backup of everything
- wipe data/cache/dalwik/system
- flashed "Euphoria-OS-1.1-klimtwifi-UNOFFICIAL-20150812.zip"
"open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-20151013.zip"
"SkyHigh_SM-T700_kernel_TW-LL_v2.0.zip"
- rebooted and waited up to 15 - 20 min. Stopped waiting after that.
the regular samsung logo while booting shows up in intervalls again from 5 to 10 minutes.
Next I went into recovery and restored everything as before the flash of the customrom.
This happens in the same way with blisspop and liquidsmooth roms.
Hope anyone knows something.

Youve flashed an aosp rom , but attempting to boot with a stock based kernel.
Its never advisable to multi flash. Flash after each successful boot.
You need to flash the kernel provided in that thread or flash the whole rom again.
Also make sure your bootloader is up to date.
Tbh I'd wipe and start again.

By "multi flash" do you mean the install procedure in twrp that automates the installation procedure? (add zip)
And how am I able to flash after each successful boot if there is nothing to boot left after wipe?

I thought this Kernel would be great. So you do not recommend me to use it?
I will look up the roms now and the kernel they use.

How do I do this or if already up to date where do I can look it up?

According to your post you flashed rom, gapps and kernel in one go.
Any one of those could have caused a bootloop or hang.
As for SkyHigh kernel, it is a great kernel but probably not suitable for an aosp rom as it's built from stock sources intended for stock roms.
Use the kernel provided.
To update the bootloader flash the latest firmware or pull it out and flash it separately.

Okay I will do the following now.
First find the appropiate Kernel if Skyhigh is a nogo. sadly.
Then flash in recovery at first the kernel of the rom. boot. recovery, flash the customrom + gapps. Right?
And before all that flash a new bootloader.
Further, is there a Kernel beside the one of the roms that you would recommend me?

Just wipe data and cache in recovery then flash just the rom. It probably already has the kernel.
Don't flash gapps just reboot after flashing the rom.

Okay worked well.
Left out the kernel because I could not find any custom ones.
Now I have euphoria on it and want to change between blisspop and liquidsmooth until I have the one I like most.
It is kinda hard to get the difference. I just know that euphoria and liquid are faster, smoother?
Thanks a lot without your input I would still be searching for an answer.
Happy day to you.

skyhigh and iron kernel are mean for touchwiz. Its not mean for cyanogen/aosp/aokp.
currently there is no one cook a custom kernel for cyanogen/aosp/aokp rom. so we stuck with the kernel that come with the rom.

Kernels :

Okay, did not know about this kernel.could you give me some info about the "deathly signed"?
My browser here is not loading the xda thread where I found people talking about it.

[SOLVED] SGH-i317 Custom Rom Installation (No Rom Works)

Hi,
I have tried to install many custom roms but all get stuck on their own boot logos
eg
*Resurrection remix 5.6.5 marshmallow was stuck on its rr logo ( Tried installation with twrp 3.0, 2.4. 2.6 but still same thing)
*Cyanide 5.1 also gets stuck on its boot logo
Phone gets passes note 2 thing but gets stuck on respective roms logos i install
# Yes i Rooted phone before installation
# TWRP 3.0 installed
# Did clean installs (Formatted EVERYTHING and installed)(Read somewhere twrp cant format stock stuff properly, i dont know) Should i try different recovery? (Please suggest best to install RR Marshmallow)
# Presently I m on stock 4.4.2
# tried this too >> custom rom zip install >> SU Install >> Gapps >>restart (Did without SU install too but doesnt work that way too)
I got it SOLVED finally
HOW?
Yup sure i ll tell how
I followed the following steps
1. Flash stock rom ( I mean stock rom by odin, Not factory reset or anything (as that didnt work) and my baseband was also lost (showed 'Unknown'))
2. Didnt add anything to it (gmail account or any settings etc)
3. Booted it completely once again ( restarted after first boot)
4. got to Download mode
5. Rooted it using cf auto root ( for sgh-i317m as i m using same phone)
6. restarted
7. got to Download mode again
8. Flashed twrp 2.8.7.0 from Odin
9. restarted again
10. got to Recovery
11. Flashed Resurrection Marshmallow (I think 5.6.5)
12. Flashed SU manually after that
13. Flashed OpenGapps Mini 6.0
14. Wiped Dalvikcache / Cache
15. Reboot
16. Wait for about FIVE Mins and
VOILA....
Enjoying new Marshmallow
Hope this helps someone who is also stuck in my situation.
Thanks for all your help

are you sure that should work? you have i317 and as far as I know it differs from N7100 and N7105

I too am experiencing the same issue, I have an at&t SGH-i317
I tried latest TWRP as well as CWM and Philz recovery
I tried like 4 different ROM's some based off stock and some based of Cyanogen mods.
I even wiped cache and davlik cache after ROM install as suggested by some of the threads, I actually tried every combination I could think of and all ROM's get stuck on the boot logo splash screen.
Is there something I am missing or doing wrong, this is certainly the the first phone I tried this on.

Can this be because of stock kernel? Because i m still on stock kernel
And thats the only thing i didnt change, despite all other random changes in steps to follow to install custom rom.

First and foremost TWRP 3.0 might be your problem, Its buggy and doesnt work right some people couldnt install it and all others have had issues with flashing roms, I would downgrade twrp to 2.8.5 if I were you.
the only other thing I think you already said you did but when you wipe go to advanced wipe make sure system is checked so system, cache, delvik cache, and data...but I think mainly TWRP is probably your problem.

I m gonna go to twrp 2.8.5. Hopefully it works. Will be back with results soon.

i get this error after installation (Using twrp 2.8.5.0 now)
"unmount of /system failed; no such volume"
Probably this is cause?
How to fix it?
and
I m using twrp for t0lte (i have SGH-i317m) I hope its all right with that.

Actually yes I never updated the kernel, and now I am wondering if that is the reason why. Perhaps the latest ROM's need the latest kernel. Unfortunately, the links for that are down, if anyone can repost please.
[UPDATE]
I found the latest kernel and flashed it within Philz latest recovery and sure enough that did the trick, now I got two ROM's I tried and both booted fine. I guess that's the fix.

that's weird, I'm using stock kernel since the 1st day and never had boot problem. See if your emmc chip is sane or insane

Stock kernel with latest 6.x ROM's? Only thing I can think of is your stock kernel was updated with an Android update, since this isn't my phone I din't know how on queue my family member who owns it was with updates. Everything is working fine now I just settled on a ROM after trying a few, so I think my emmc chip is fine.

With http://d-h.st/JUm as xtacydima suggested
It doesnt pass note 2 logo
Just goes blank after note 2 logo, So i think it isnt supported.
i m on 4.4.2 stock now.
Another thing i note is that my baseband is "unknown".
Any suggestions?

I followed the following steps
1. Flash stock rom ( I mean stock rom by odin, Not factory reset or anything (as that didnt work) and my baseband was also lost (showed 'Unknown'))
2. Didnt add anything to it (gmail account or any settings etc)
3. Booted it completely once again ( restarted after first boot)
4. got to Download mode
5. Rooted it using cf auto root ( for sgh-i317m as i m using same phone)
6. restarted
7. got to Download mode again
8. Flashed twrp 2.8.7.0 from Odin
9. restarted again
10. got to Recovery
11. Flashed Resurrection Marshmallow (I think 5.6.5)
12. Flashed SU manually after that
13. Flashed OpenGapps Mini 6.0
14. Wiped Dalvikcache / Cache
15. Reboot
16. Wait for about FIVE Mins and
VOILA....
Enjoying new Marshmallow
Hope this helps someone who is also stuck in my situation.
Thanks for all your help

custom roms do not boot up

hi there,
i used crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180606-riva-v4.3 but there were color problems i didnt know 2 fix so i decided 2 flash a new rom resp. a newer version but no custom rom boots up.
when it tries 2 boot is freezes at the boot screen, then screen switches off and nothing happens. i can go 2 fastboot and recovery.
sometimes it boots up but after a few seconds it freezes 2.
i tried different roms and recoveries but nothing works.
i foolishly wiped internal storage once but then i flashed the stock rom again which boots up. then i unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery and a rom again but the same error is there (no booting up)
anyone got a solution for this problem? no unbricking suggestions plz
edit: im in the wrong thread i think. i wanted 2 post it in "Guides, News, & Discussion". cant delete it. sry for that

logs
so i managed 2 create logs while booting up.
1) https://pastebin.com/cgrX2DA1
2) https://pastebin.com/r7DmcN46
3) https://pastebin.com/0pwXyuys
4) https://pastebin.com/S41FG2SQ
1) is 1st part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
2) is 2nd part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
3) is 1st part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
4) is 2nd part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
i also tried 2 log "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kernel_message_log.txt"
and "dmesg > /sdcard/kernel_boot_log.txt" via terminal in linux but it only sais file or directory not found.
i hope sum1 can give me sum help now.

so i did this https://en.miui.com/thread-3921604-1-1.html but it doesnt help. as i expected.
any1? i can post more information if necessary. just say which and perhaps how ;D

cmon guys. i can impossibly b the only 1 who faces this problem.
i dont think its a hardware thing cause stock rom and android 7.1.2 (viper os) work. maybe a vendor problem? could flash another vendor img solve this problem? can sum1 send me his?
i got sum more logs after flashing rr 7.0:
logcat 1st part: https://pastebin.com/EBZAgbhF
logcat 2nd part: https://pastebin.com/qaMFrvxi
dmesg: https://pastebin.com/Gg8bYkJy

Fastboot flash latest miui 10 stable using mi flash tool and use the rom after setting up. Then flash custom recovery and do a full wipe.
This works for most cases.

Well it worked for me.
Which custom rom you want to use?

well, it doesnt matter 2 me. the main thing is that it works =D rr, aex, crdroid..

Crdroid is my choice because aex and rr are very early builds. I like pixel experience but the devs not updating it so crdroid or havoc os.
Like i said use Xiaomi flash tool and flash miui 10 stable via fastboot method(there are 3 options in the bottom select flash all instead of flash and lock to avoid unlocking the bootloader again), don't flash anything else, setup and use the phone, flash recovery wipe all and format, install rom, don't flash gapps yet, boot into rom and see if its fixed.
Use vendor based recovery, if using batik recovery you have to flash batik recovery again after format.
This is my solution.

i did it several times before but 2 b safe i did it again like that:
i flashed riva_global_images_V10.1.1.0.NCKMIFI_20181029.0000.00_7.1_global_f444c158ed.tgz using XIAOMI-TOOL-MiFlash-for-Linux-by-IceMan-master. im on linux mint 18.3. i have 4 options:
flash_all_lock.sh
flash_all_lock_crc.sh
flash_all_except_data_storage.sh
flash_all.sh
i chose flash_all.sh
i booted into the stock rom and set it up, enabled dev options and adb.
then i switched it off, went into bootloader, flashed twrp-3.2.3-0-riva.img via fastboot.
after that i entered twrp, flashed OrangeFox-R8.3-riva.zip and rebooted into recovery
i wiped everything except external sd and usb otg (i dont have these)
after a reboot intorecovery i formatted data then rebooted in recovery
i flahed crDroidAndroid-9.0-20181002-riva-v5.0.zip
then reboot into system
no success as i expected! wtf is wrong wtf. this cant b true!
but thank u very much for ur efforts! perhaps i would try 2 restore a vendor img from sum1 which rom does work. i know its a great demand but could u send me urs? ;D i dont know if there r sum personal info..
best regards

Don't give up there might be a solution.
Pray to God for some help.

Currently I am using Xiaomi.eu beta rom. You can check their website for all the features. Its smooth, stable and can update without needing to got the recovery:victory:
This should work for you because unlike other roms this is based on miui for riva. That means you will get updates till Xiaomi ditches support for riva.
I recommend you use this rom over the global rom until you fix the problem with your phone.
Some things missing:
Choice of region is limited( India is not available)
There is no custom kernel available for miui oreo as of now.
Magisk safetynet not passed
If you're going flash this rom you need to be on latest global beta fastboot rom and need a recovery that supports oreo base.
I use batik recovery base oreo.

yes. i cant b the only 1 facing this problem...!? really. i cant!
thx anyway

dont u have 2 wait 2 weeks or so till bootloader is unlocked?
what exactly do u mean with won't boot up? bootloop? or stuck at boot logo?
after flashing a custom recovery, did u boot directly into the system or did u try 2 boot into recovery? sometimes the stock recovery overwrites the custom 1 when stock rom boots up
my problem is solved. i remembered that i made a full nandroid backup with twrp before i flashed a new rom and the problem appeared. so i restored everything i backed up with twrp (incl cust) and voila, rom booted up. and i can wipe system and data and flash every rom i wanna and it still boots up \o/
i really could have tried it earlier but i didnt think of this untill yesterday ;D
well, thx for ur efforts anyway buddy @NaAnBcEhEuL9A8K7
