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

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

Bootloop flashing miui 12 closed beta

hi, i am having aproblem right now trying to flash miui 12. first time i just formatted the phone in twrp. used adb push to push the zip on the phone. and flashed it. it was successful but after booting into the system it had a password for some reason and there was no setup screen. so i tried to reflash by formatting again and repeating the process. now i boot into system and it just goes into bootloop at the MI boot screen.
Its super weird that it worked the first time. then it doesnt work anymore no matter what (adb sideload, multiple recoveries) and it seems the rom isnt installing correctly because afterwards i cannot flash magisk (cannot mount system partition)

Use fox twrp to flash.

Recovery messed up

Hey I was trying to flash resurrection remix 8.6.0 on my Redmi 5A(riva) but twrp showed error 7. Then I tried flashing Pixel Experience but still error 7 i tried reflasing the recovery also tried orange fox but still nothing is working. I was able to flash rr 7.0.2. So can someone help me update it to 8.6.0. Now whenever I boot into recovery nothing is not mounting
Thanks in advance

Did u already downgrade to Nougat? U can use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-5a/how-to/rollback-downgrade-to-miui-nougat-t3938904 or flash the complete ROM from Mi in fastboot mode.

Question Cannot install custom recovery in Poco f3 with Xiaomi EU ROM installed.

I recently flashed Xiaomi EU ROM on my Poco f3. Everything was running great until I tried to flash twrp. Everytime I try to flash twrp my phone boots into stock recovery .
When I use the latest 3.7 twrp my phone boots into the custom recovery but I cannot mount the data partition. Is there any solution to this ?

Try with a pc.
rename the twrp to twrp.img.
Most often is "possibly:
Unroot.
install Platform tools, put the twrp in the folder.
Run the command from platform tools.
The one you are trying to install is the last one.

I already did everything , tried every method still everytime twrp gets replaced
I also tried orangefox but still same result
I also had the same problem on lineage os

For summary only version twrp-3.7.0_12-0-alioth-TeamWin.img worked?
Try to start from scratch:
Use Miflash without locking the bootloader.

Yes only the latest version booted but with a lot less features compared to the skkk twrp i used a while ago
I am afraid using miflash to flash eu rom on my phone would hard brick it

You cannot flash a Xiaomi Eu rom with Miflash, only stock roms, EEA, Global etc..
Just don't lock the bootloader.

Due to dynamic and A/B partitions this is not directly possible without a dedicated script.

Question SOLVED! ADB stuck at Sideload

I was trying to get dolby atmos on awakenOS, the device is unlocked and was rooted.
I was trying to get a magisk module going for the dolby atmos. As instructed I flashed the magisk 26.0 and all was good but as soon as I flashed the miui core module the device started bootlooping.
To try to fix that I reflashed the boot.img and vendor.boot for the awakenos to reflash the rom and to get the device back . but as soon as I reached the part of adb rebooting to sideload, I reached the sideload but after dragging the rom zip it always says cannot read anymore. Every time I manually boot into recovery I still find the device in sideload. adb commands such as adb reboot and reboot to recovery seem to be doing nothing to the device anymore

Hello.
The Modules work perfect for me. You need to unbrick your device now by going back to MIUI. Are you able to go to Fastboot Mode?

If you are able to go to Fastboot Mode, do the Following things: Download the official Mi Flash Tool and the latest MIUI Version. Flash the extracted ROM and choose the option "Clean all". Your device needs to be back on MIUI to be unbroken safely. You may find a way to unbrick it without flashing MIUI but what I said is what I recommend.

Thank you it worked! I'm back on MIUI and will be going back to AwakenOS. btw so for now is there no other way of getting Dolby on AwakenOS?

Sure, no problem! I don't know why it didn't work for you. For me it works perfectly fine. I even attached some pictures in the Awaken OS Thread. I can provide the Dolby Atmos of Motorola if you want which I've tried on some devices but not on this one so I cannot say that it will work. I'm not responsible for any bricks too.

I'm still waiting for unlock, but I would like to try if Viper Atmos will deliver the similar effect
Which is reverse engineering on Dolby Atmos I guess?
