[Q] Problems with every Rom after flashing

Hello together,
first of all, i have an european E975. At the beginning with this phone everything was all right, nearly every custom rom and stock Roms (through KDZ flashing) went fine (except the mentioned bugs). But after flashing an stock kitkat based miui Rom where my sim card wasnt recognized (never had this before with this phone) no Rom runs good after KDZ flashing back to 10f. This means nearly every Rom (even Stock) has now problems i havent got before with the SAME zip packages and versions.
For Example, any cm based Rom have a wakeup issues, so the softkeys turns on but the screen turns black, or screen lightens up but freezes. 4.2.2 MIUI has now additional problems that nearly every app freeze and force closes and on 4.4 stock it takes often 10 seconds to wake the device up. And I am using the same zip files i used before, which ran great and without these problems before flashing the kitkat based miui. And i used the same procedure to flash an custom rom as before, this means kdz flashing 10f, wiped data, framaroot, busybox, freegee with mako twrp, wipe data, system and cache in recovery, flash Rom, flash gapps, wipe data again and boot.
So my question is, could there be other partitions that could be overwritten or damaged that cause the problems? Or is there another way than KDZ flashing to get rid of unnecessary files?
Thank you in advance

Problems after installing CM12.1 nightlies

Hi everyone,
Today I installed the new CM12 nightlies, after rebooting my HTC one m8 it showed me a popup message that google play services stopped working. I also couldnt launch particular apps. So after looking for a solution I tried reinstalling Gapps hoping this would solve the problem.
I downloaded the minimal Gapps ZIP file and flashed it using TWRP recovery, after I wiped the cache and dalvik cache. Once rebooted I started to get the anoying pop up notifications '' Gmail stopped working'' and ''youtube stopped working''. These two messages won't go away and makes my phone unusable. I think the reason why these messages keep popping up is because i flashed the minimal version of Gapps so I downloaded the normal version of Gapps on my computer since my phone isnt accesable because of the pop-up notifications that won't go away. What I did next was plug in my phone to my computer and moved Gapps L-3-14-15.zip to my SD card and installed it again. I also wiped the cache and dalvik cache. after I did a reboot and everything seemed fine for the first 20 seconds... It didnt last long. Im still having the same problem as before Gmail and youtube has stopped working. Do any of you know how to fix this without doing a system recovery?
Thanks in advance

To me it sounds like you installed a gapps 5.0 package not a 5.1 package. With the CM Nightly you need to make sure you're using an updated gapps package designed for android 5.1+.
I always use a minimal gapps package but usually CM has a link available on their page. Double check that you're installing a gapps 5.1 package. I am currently running the 5.1 nightlies and they're great thus far... 4/20 and 4/19 are both confirmable as working on my end. Good luck.
To correct Wipe /data /system /cache and dalvik reinstall the nightly and flash a 5.1 gapps package.

I guess the minimal Gapps package that I first installed wasnt for 5.1
In order to get rid of the pop up notifications I started my phone in safe mode. This worked and I saw there was a new update for cm12.1 after the update finished and I booted up my phone the pop up notification werent there anymore but google play services was also uninstalled. What I did next was installing the newest google play services pack. After it was done I installed the 5.1 Gapps version on my phone and now everything seems working fine again. I did get some notifications that an app such as chrome stopped working but a simple reinstal of the app fixed the problem. Somehow the apps that I moved to my external SD card arent here anymore but im glad I didnt have to do a factory reset.
Thanks for your help

every time i update my cm12 nightlies it has its own recovery (cyanogen recovery) but my zip files are not working with that recovery. (ex. cmzip.gapps, and kernels). for my device it works on PhilZ touch recovery. so the tendency is i have to flash fastboot boot.img(philz touch)again and again.
using Thunderzap kernel 4.15 im stock on bootloop.
running cm12.1 nightlies (4/20/15)
also gapps not compatible.

I use twrp and I've not had any issues with a cm recovery replacing twrp. On the 420 nightly I don't even see a recovery.img in the cm zip so I'm assuming you're updating via cm itself. I think there's a setting in there to choose to update cm recovery or not.
To flash Phillz recovery you're syntax would be "fastboot flash recovery recoveryimgname.img" the boot.img is your kernel. I'm not sure how many aosp 5.1 kernels the m8 has but I've not really been able to find any so I just use the cm one.
To correct your issues I would flash twrp 2.8.6 via fastboot flash recovery. Wipe everything from recovery (cache data dalvik system) and reinstall. If it was me I'd update cm via zip from now on if it was causing me these issues. Good luck

Everything seemed working fine again until 30 min. ago...
I got the notification chrome has stopped working. (Haven't had this message all the morning and chrome worked just fine.)
I restarted my phone and the first thing I noticed was that some of my apps have disapeared from my home screen, they are still in the app tray tho. Also my keyboard input mode has been set back to AOSP while normaly I use Swiftkey keyboard as my standard input. Chrome was still pushing me not working notification so I reinstalled chrome and now it works fine again. Not sure for how many time...
Its kinda anoying but maybe tonights nightlies will solve the problem somehow. If not, do you have any sugestions how to fix this?

Yeah I mean nightlys merge with code that it's being worked on and may break or fix certain things. Nightly builds may be perfect or they may not even boot. You kind of have to just flash them and see. Cm is very generic coding and depending on your carrier may not have the non open source vendor blobs necessary to make, say, your speakers work properly. It really depends. I don't believe Verizon had released their kernel source for lollipop so sometimes downgrading firmware to known source (ie 4.4.4) may help alleviate connectivity issues with Wi-Fi and things of that sort. Team UBs build and lollipop dream 5.0.2 have been my go tos as of late. The lollipop dream build is the smoothest running cm build I've ever used even on nexus devices. Very well made.

Bugged Phone - Bootloops with all the roms I've flashed

I tried flashing an old, alpha, version of sailfish on my phone and since then it's been bootlooping. I can access the recovery and install CM11 but after booting it restarts, every 1-2 minutes. Flashing some other roms gives me bootloops (First boot takes >1 minute, the phone resets).
I've already backed up all my data and wiped internal and external storage, but flashing gives me the same problems.
What can I do? I have the latest TWRP installed.
EDIT: Some ROMs seem to work. I just flashed PAC LP MR1 20151011 and it worked. Most other roms don't work. Do I need to update firmware? I don't understand why this is happening

try to flash the latest fastboot rom to put the phone to stock settings and then try again with other roms

Have you tried flashing firmware files from #3 in cm 11/12.1/13 thread?

Endless Bootloop when using LineageOS and AOKP ROMs

Hello,
Since I got my XT1635-02 in April I have tried to use LineageOS and/ or AOKP. The problem is, when I flash either, I get an endless bootloop.
When I got the phone I:
Unlocked the bootloader
Flashed TWRP - the latest 3.1.1-0
Flashed Lineage ROM
I don't use Gapps - or I'd rather not - but at this stage I have flashed the Pico package
Then flash su-addon.
I've tried different combinations; only flashing LineageOS/AOKP but got the same result.
Stock images work fine for me. I even got to the point where I had to write a little bash script to flash all of the components in the correct order for the RETUS Nougat image.
Last month, by some fluke I got LineageOS to boot. However, I have no idea what I did differently, it just seemed to work that one time. However, I have been living off of that install for about 3 weeks and the OTAs even worked perfectly.
Today I got bored and decided to flash AOKP.
Booted in to TWRP
Wiped Dalvik, Sys, Data, Cache
Flash AOKP
Reboot
Bootloop.
Is there something wrong with my phone or is there something wrong with my process?
Any suggestions welcome. Thank you.

I remember​ that problem with Razr. Some custom roms were booting fine, some bootlooping.
The first workaround was to flash working one then without reboot flash desired one.
Later we figured out that wiping/formating partitions was the problem. Bootlooping rom couldn't read the file system. Solution was to not wipe or to wipe to the correct file system.

I think you may be on to something because I had flashed LineageOS after flashing the stock Nougat image. Still, would like a surefire way to just run a ROM. I've never had this issue on any other device.

I had it on Razr and just started to happen after one CM nightly build. Turned out that devs changed FS.

Flashing ROM reboot issues, advice massively appreciated.

I rooted my phone yesterday fine and made a backup of my oxygen OS (original rom).
I am definitely successfully unlocked and rooted, and TWRP newest version is running.
I have tried so much to get a new rom running correctly I have tried both resurrection remix official and unofficial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...evelopment/op3-3t-resurrection-remix-t3754941
I have also tried official paranoid android, but every time it starts up I get two issues the first is the error saying "android.media has stopped" the more serious being the fact that no matter which rom I flash it always begins force restarting over and over again, I get into the OS fine, have a scroll around and around every 2 mins or so it just force reboots, then it comes back and is fine for 2 mins then same again.
It has happened with the official and unofficial versions of resurrection remix and also happens exactly the same with paranoid android. I have no idea what else to try at this point.
The process I have been using for flashing is this:
1. Boot into TWRP recovery
2. Wipe everything but internal storage.
3. Install my rom.
4. Reboot.
5. Starts up successfully and then falls back into the standard boot loop and the android.media error.
I have also tried it with GAPPS which was throwing some setup wizard has stopped error, so for now I am just attempting to get an actual rom running without constantly restarting.
Any help is massively appreciated, I am tech savvy, hence why this is annoying me even more.
Thanks,
Kieran

Have you tried going back to the latest official Oxygen OS (Stable or OB)?

My backup is the original oxygen and this restores fine and works fine just as soon as I try to flash a new rom it just keeps restarting every few minutes, I dont really know what else to try.
Also to add I sometimes see this issue when I attempt to flash certain roms..... 'assert failed: op3.verify_modem("2017-11-16") == 1'

Use the recommended firmware by the rom. Also you can't flash most roms without Gapps.
1. Flash proper firmware
2. Flash the rom
3. Flash Gapps or something similar.
4. Flash any additional kernel (optional).
5. Flash SuperSU or Magisk.
The assert failed littery tells you that you use using the wrong modem // firmware.

my first question which custom Rom you installed every Rom developer say it is stable but only few has been stable as rock . i tried everything but settled with AICP Rom. and then try to use GAPP as ARM64 android 8.1
u have first install Rom and then GAPP then magisk or Superuser anything which u refer
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...e-development/wip-official-aicp-13-0-t3713637
this is the Rom which i use it . .they are stable and also update it weekly thrice ..
if u like it you can install this ROM
