most common issues with custom boot anim's is the format. If the one youre flashing is set to a DPI outside of what the bootloader knows the panel is capable of, then itll just revert to the old one or none at all. I ran into this all the time when i was making my own for my old Evo. I flashed a rick astley anim on a buddies phone just to be a prick like 10 years ago it was pretty epic

[Q] Xposed, TWRP, Bootloop, Help!?!?!?!

Hello, this will be my first post here at XDA, and i will be asking for your help guys...
I am experiencing bootloop on my phone.
The thing is I tried to install Xposed Installer using the Automatic method that flashes to the recovery.
It reboots them...
It passed the Galaxy Note II N7100 black screen...
It shows the TWRP logo (The blue one)
AND THEN IT JUST REPEAT AND REPEAT the TWRP logo.
I can boot to Download Mode.
Tried removing the battery and tried to enter recovery again using hardware keys, same thing happens.
What can I do now? Please Help.
Thank You!
P.S. I am running DN3 4.3 Stable using it's stock kernel.

Well something was messed up when you flashed xposed installer( i don't know what you mean by automatic method) but do a clean install,since you can get into download mode,grab the twrp img.tar and flash it using pc odin ,then you can access recovery, do all the wipes again by going under "advanced" and reflash your rom.Now to install xposed go to xda thread for it and grab the apk from there (i think it's available on play store as well).You should have no more issues
Twrp
Like the previous post said I'm not sure what you've done. When xposed framework is installed there is usually an unistall zip created on the internal so card. If you can get recovery find it and flash it

The device is now fixed.
So okay, I followed the above instruction to flash a fresh TWRP. It does not work that way, it still has bootloop on the blue teamwin screen, what i've done is flash a .tar Philz specified for my device and then try to boot it. It boot and then it then flashes the pending Xposed script/flashable that I think TWRP can't execute that's why it bootloop. When it CWM successfully flashed it, I boot and wen't to homescreen. Then I now flashed TWRP via odin.
Thanks everyone, my Note 2 has come back to life.

Boot into Download mode and flash philsz touch recovery 6 and reboot device .. Everything will be ok>
Old thread may be old, but it's still relevant.
I just tried to install XPosed as well on my Note II and it did the same thing (mine's AT&T)
Info
Device: Note II
XPosed Version: 2.6.1
Install Method: "Recovery (flash zip automatically)"
Recovery Image: TWRP
Mine exhibited the same behavior as OP's, however after leaving it alone for a while to bootloop recovery as much as it wanted to, I came to my laptop, found this post, grabbed as USB cable, and I was just about to start the process of reflashing recovery when all of a sudden I saw my lock screen.
It took roughly five minutes of bootloop to get it there, but it successfully installed XPosed and my device is running fine.
So, for all the other Googler's out there that landed on this post, leave it alone for a while! See what happens. If it's still bootlooping, like, 30 minutes later, then try reflashing TWRP using ODIN. If that still doesn't work, reflash a new ROM using TWRP.

Boot Animation Screwup

So, I just rooted and installed CM11 on my galaxy nexus (verizon) and I was changing the boot animation to a more stock animation, so I flashed the animation from CWM and rebooted. The animation is slow and I wanted to change it back. I got a new animation from my computer and then tried to flash that .zip. It appeared it did not work because the animation is still there. I had made a backup of my ROM on the phone itself thru ROM manager. How do I remove the crappy animation and back to a more stable one and, if necessary, how do I go about flashing that backup thru CWM?
Thanks in advance,
Someone who screwed up.

device boots automatically in recovery

Received my zenforce 2 (ZOOA) yesterday and succeeded after various attempts to get bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed.
The problem is my device only boots in TWRP when it's power off and I start it, or if I restart it from TWRP. Besides I tried to install cyanogen and other roms on it, but no matter what it keeps booting into TWRP....
Hoping to get some help
flash stock recovery flash stock rom boot into it do all settings then flash custom recovery again then wipe and then flash your custom rom that happened to me thats how i solved it i also flashed stock droidboot.img
thanx a lot for your answer metty, you saved my phone !
I got to get all done with your instructions, except I reinstalled TWRP img right after installing boot.img and droidboot.im through fastboot
this way I could install custom rom right away
thanx again, really appreciate...

no problem man glad i could help and enjoy the wonder that is android and the zenfone btw you should stay on stock rom with audio wizzard for now otherwise audio sounds trash
Thanx your advice.
Had to move to a custom ROM based on stock anyway, as the other ones based on CM gave me freezes and random reboot (even without xposed installed)

Help flash kernel to Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 t310

I finally managed to install the latest twrp, and flashed lineageOS-14.1 for t310 and gapps. I got the tablet working with this recovery and rom, but now I want to flash the kernel so I am able to OC the CPU and other hardware changes.
I tried kernoleOC for t31x v6, but when I flash the kernel and reboot it just gets stuck on the boot screen and continuously shows boot animation. It won't do anything else besides this.
2 questions, what do I need to try to do to stop it from looping at boot animation? Also, can someone recommend another custom kernel for tab 3 8.0 t310 running lineageOS-14.1 which allows for hardware customization like OC and uv.
Any suggestions and help is appreciated.

Rooting went fine Flashing rom almost bricked me due to directions??

I instslled magisk apk and then booted twrp .img in fastboot as directed and flashed magisk zip from twrp as said too . I Rebooted and was rooted fine . Downloaded Resurrection rom and the guide said to only wipe in twrp flash rom then flash twrp zip again and reboot/profit . The rom splash screen just sat there spitting out little purple pink splatters and never booted so I rebooted into twrp and flashed the twrp zip to make twrp permanent and ended up losing my stock backup from the boot.img twrp and my internal storage . Had taken all night to find the right tool kit to flash firmware back .
What went wrong ? How do you flash rom on this phone I'm no noob but I'm not risking it again .
After you boot twrp and flash magisk are you supposed to flash twrp.zip then make your backups and flash roms? I wasn't sure if it was a long bootup or not gonna boot ever

I see a couple possible problems with your steps. The biggest is not being prepared. Not a shot at you but a fact that comes with a new device. The easiest route at this point would be to list out what exactly you want to have as a finished project. I'm assuming rooted RR with installed TWRP? I ask because if you want to have TWRP installed you should also use a condom kernel that has the touch drivers. I'm not sure if RR had them by default it not. Anyway, confirm what you want and I'm sure one of us will get you pointed in the right direction. You won't find most of us using a tool kit, so you will learn the "right" way... Lol

I know it's a typo but condom kernel cracked me up. Does it automatically boot you to safe mode?

What?
I never flashed a custom ROM on this device, but it should be fairly easy. Turn off security settings on stock ROM, flash permanent twrp. Wipe system, dalvik/ cache and data and install RR. Boot and wait a few minutes, it sometimes takes some time. I don't know how the gapps situation is, so you might need to flash gapps. Also make sure to make a backup since you will wipe all data. Should be fairly easy of you followed the steps correctly

What I' did to flash the rom was separate from rooting procedures . The phone been unlocked for months.
I did both separate times
I fastboot booted twrp.img then I installed magisk zip. I did not permanent flash twrp zip after . I only flashed the perm twrp zip after I wiped and flsahed the RR Rom . So another words I was on twrp temp boot only when I flashed the rom then I flashed twrp zip per the rom Dev instructions . But I can't make sense why you have to flash twrp after you flash a rom install .
I'm assuming it goes like this
Install latest magisk apk.
Fastboot boot twrp .img
Then perm flash twrp .zip
Then flash magisk .zip
Reboot into the O.S and check for root
Reboot into (permanent Twrp) swipe to allow modifications .
wipe stock rom with the swipe only method??
Install Rom of choice and reboot !
Or is it install Rom /flash twrp.zip for a second time then reboot

I want to flash a rom but I'm not understanding how the pixel 2 xl works with twrp vs other devices .
If I reboot without first flashing a kernel then maybe that's the dilemma?
I just don't get why you need to flash permanent twrp .zip after you install Rom If you already had twrp permanent installed to begin with .
I' went over what I did in this thread and what I'm guessing I did wrong. So do I need special kernel for each and every rom listed . I never had to flash a kernel to get a rom to boot on any device and I've been flashing for years with T-Mobile phones on Galaxy devices and unlocked Google based phones.

I don't get why you would need to flash magisk before.
0. Make Backups and turn off security settings. Also make sure you're on the newest OTA
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Do a factory reset in Wipe settings.
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash TWRP of you want, not required but recommended
5. Reboot and set it up
6. Install magisk Manager and reboot to TWRP
7. Flash magisk and reboot
That's it.

Hey let me ask you something, I just got the Pixel 2 XL but I always do a lot of research. Something I wasn't prepared for is the touch issue in TWRP. It works fine when initially installed, works fine sometimes after a reboot, but always ends up not working because touch isnt working. You're saying I can install a custom kernel and that should be fixed? I've always rocked Elemental or Franco's but am on rooted stock and since I've never stayed stock before I'm not even sure if I can flash another kernel without changing ROMs. If I can, or even if I have to change ROMs, you're saying that most custom kernels have the touch in TWRP working?

All the custom kernels fix the twrp touch issue. You can flash them anytime you want on stock rom via twrp. Just disable screen lock(just initially for safety) boot into twrp, flash your kernel then magisk, reboot and done

Thanks a lot. Does changing kernels remove magisk?

Some do, some don't. That's why you flash magisk after the kernel. But that's changing as well :good:
