Stock ROM boot problem

Hello, I'm having some worrying problems with my device
Like many of you I've been eagerly following TheWhisp in his journey to bring us JB, I had managed to stop myself flashing the earlier experimental versions so as not to just tease myself with a non-daily ROM, but when he announced he'd fixed the incoming call problem I had to try it! I installed the update from the 17th of Jan, everything was going pretty good.
I flashed back to stock via Odin first, booted, thumbed around a bit for nostalgia as I'd been running ReginaROM since it came out. The Cyanogenmod started becoming more and more unstable the next day, things crashing, reboots etc. I thought ok, no problem, I'll go back to Regina and wait. I flashed back to stock again to get a fully fresh install going as that's just the way I like to do things.
My problem is that the stock ROM won't boot, the Samsung logo glows away as normal, but after a moment I get the short vibration followed by three blips of vibration indicating something has crashed, after which the startup animation and sound plays again and the process repeats, I can never reach the lock screen.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

it's a bootloop, have you tried to wipe data from CWM?

Yeah I've tried wiping cache, dalvik cache and factory reset.

did you try wipe data/cache and dalvic cache on squads cwm??

Where else would I do it? haha I don't mean to sound *****y
I can't figure it out, I've done everything I can think of, seems sort of bad that I can't get my stock firmware to work if I ever need to go back to it.

You have to wipe data after installation of the stock ROM. I had the same problem with the previous build. Just enter in CWM and wipe.

wipe all in cwm > download mode > put stock rom and wipe one more time all.

[Q] Help? Custom Roms Won't Boot

So, I have a Galaxy Exhibit II 4g (Sold here in Canada on Bell's network as the Galaxy W sgh-t679m).
I've had no troubles rooting the device (Though I forget where I got the package to root it and it's not one of the ones on the wiki), or installing CWM, however: My main goal was to get some manner of JB rom set up on the device.
I've tried both Linaro CM 10 and Slimbean.
The problem I'm encountering (with either of them) occurs after flashing the new rom.
When "starting" with the new rom for the first time, it just repeats the loadscreen animation indefinitely. I tried leaving it overnight and it was still doing it. However, When I flash back to the stock rom it works just fine.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Do you know how to make this problem go away, and make either of the two roms load?

Did you do a wipe before flagging the ROM?

Did you do wipe system + cache + dalvik cache then install ROM then wipe dalvik cache + fix permissions?
If not try that. I doubt 2 desperate downloads are at fault here.

Thanks
Aha!
Before, I formatted data and wiped cache. Didn't know to wipe Dalvik Cache or fix permissions.
Thanks afwolfpacked!

What are you using to flash with. Cwm 6.0.1.2 or twrp. You will need to ensure system is wiped. Clean installs I'm twrp for thoroughness I do:
System wipe
Cache wipe
Dalvik cache wipe
Factory reset
Internal storage wipe
Android secure wipe
Post install:
Dalvik cache wipe
fix permission
Reboot
Initial setup: for 5 - 10 minutes don't do anything to phone for complete setup installation from ROM flash before completing initial setup

I'm using CWM 6.0.2.5.
I did everything but the factory reset. It installed great, but I'm finding that it crashes constantly now that it's up and running (CWM, Linaro CM10, SpeedyGonzales Kernel).
I'm going to try swapping out the Kernel and see if that makes things go a bit better. Going to try Jocalas first. The Demon's Blood Kernel Link is dead.
I'll update the post after I see how Jocalas Kernel works out even though it's not rigged specially for JellyBean - hopefully it will be more stable.
Can someone link me some alternatives or give me some suggestions.

Well, I followed afwolfpacked's instructions to the letter (which didn't include the factory reset).
It installed fine, it just seems rather unstable and it crashes frequently.

Factory reset is NOT optional, check the instructions again. Of course it will install with out wiping, it just wont work well hence the reason you are getting crashes.

I went back into CWM to switch the kernel, and I looked at the menu options. I thought wipe data and factory reset were separate options, and that I had done the wipe data and not the factory reset. Apparently I *DID* factory reset, as they are apparently the same thing.
So my bugs must be caused by something else. I'm hoping it's the kernel, not CM10.
Suggestions on the Kernel to use?

Although I don't see how it could be the kernel as it happened to you on slimbean as well.

Have you tried just installing CM10 and NOT another kernel? CM10 has it's own kernel built-in.

I was having a different problem with slimbean. I hadn't known the fix permissions or clear dalvik cache and it wasn't starting. I tried both it and Linaro CM10, and I definitely like Linaro CM10 better, at least until it started constantly crashing.

Hmm. No I hadn't realized that. The Linaro CM10 page made it seem like you needed another kernel.
Thanks guys. I'll give them a try tomorrow, and I'll let you guys know if either of those options works out.
If not, I may just have to go back to Slimbean, which didn't have as many shiny features (being slim), but seemed much more stable than the linaro cm10+speedy kernel.
By the way, you guys have been awesome. Done some other modding things before, but this is my first attempt at modding android; and you guys have been a huge help in figuring out how it works.

Yeah. now that I've installed DBv8, things are running much better. The phone's been running since I made that last post, and it hasn't crashed once.
What are the big differences between the linero kernel, DBv8, and Evil?

The linero kernel was optimized but still stock. Powered by Evil and Demons Blood v8 are near on par with each other and are overclockable. I believe sio was included in IO for DB v8 and not in evil and a few differences in governers. Not much differences in those 2.

[Q] international HTC one 4.2.2 camera doesn't work.

i was using android revolution HD since 7.1，and 4 days ago i flashed android revolution 10.0 and the the camera app on my phone does not work anymore,i can still open the camera app but it doesnt response and close itself after a few seconds, then i tried the trickdroid 6.0.1,still the same. seems like i am the only on who have this problem, i think maybe i flash it wrong, could you guys help me find out which step i did wrong? and how to fix the camera app. thanks!

Did you flash kernels after you installed the ROMs? Looks like a kernel issue to me.

did you wipe data,cache,davlik before you flashed

no. it will only wipe user data,app data,and apps you have installed.
but if this is your first time using 4.2 you should backup your sd card to your computer and after you flash the rom and boot up boot back to recovery and wipe your sd card then reboot and restore backup from computer or you will think it wiped everything but it just moves things around for multiuser support

[Help]Recovery won't wipe data

Hey guys,
I was running CM 10.1.3 and decided to go to Slim Bean 2.1. I followed the instructions, but when I rebooted instead of a clean install, I had all my old apps. Naturally, I went back to recovery and wiped everything again including sdcard and flashed Slim again (from external sd card). However, when I rebooted, again I had everything - old apps, music, photos... As you might imagine after this dirty flash the phone is quite laggy. Please tell me how to make recovery properly wipe the old data.
Any help is appreciated

What recovery are you running? I am going to assume CWM v6.0.3.1...
From main menu;-
Wipe Data/factory rest
Wipe cache partition
From Mounts and Storage menu;-
Format /system
Format /cache
Format /data
Format /sd-card
From Advanced manue;-
Wipe dalvik cache
Now install.

You assume correctly. I had already done that, but I did it again in the order that you described. No difference, I still get all my app, my wallpaper, and all my accounts are still logged on. That is strange. Is there another way to wipe the phone?

Yes, it's very strange. I have done that before, but never with such results. I think I might have to resort to a kdz flash of stock rom, but I'll wait a bit to see if someone comes up with a solution. Nevertheless, I will have to find a solution, because after the last several dirty flashes one on top of the other the phone does not work as it should. It is very laggy and with an even higher battery drain (which was the initial reason for a clean install).

I have to admit that I would look at doing a KDZ reflash to get everything back clean, then CWM and reinstall of the ROM.

too late now to go back to format and reinstall rom. just go in data/app delete everything in there. also in data/dalvic-cache. then if u know from system apps which ones u dont want , go delete them and then find their dalvic-cache in /cache/dalvic-cache.
then go delete from sdcard the folder android. then from sdcard delete every zero and empty folder. last one delete all data/data and reboot. nothing should be left from previous rom. now if u have more leftovers in data/media/obb or data/media/legacy, delete. (dont delete the legacy in storage/emulated...!). about the problem u had. did u choose wipe and selected manually to wipe all those or u chose to format all data ? there must be a choice to format everything. ( dont do it now it will delete everything ). if that doesnt work then fix permissions.

Somehow after several attempts it worked and wiped everything. I am not sure, however, if it works consistently.

I will certainly do that, but I have never used flashtool so far (kdz flasher, as well for that matter), So I just do not have the time to experiment right now, just in case if anything goes wrong. But I will certainly want to try a stock rom again.

P880 won't boot after 442 flashing

Hi guys,
Need your assistance in this. I downloaded the 4.4.2, the Gapps (stock version), and the CWM Touch 6044. Flashed successfully the 6044. Rebooted, and flashed omni 442 and then the gapps. Did a wipe data/factory reset. Then pressed reboot device. The phone will restart and stay stuck at the Omni Logo. No progress from there at all. Did a few other reboots and different combinations to the above but to no result. Stuck there. Finally, did a restore from my backup just to have a phone again..Any idea what I did wrong from the start?

How long did you wait at the first bootup? It took quite long for me, so I'd suggest waiting up to 20 minutes before turning off the phone. Try flashing with the most lightweight Gapps package, that's what everyone seems to be using. You could also try wiping cache and dalvik cache.

Well, did the Dalvik cache but later on, when I was experimenting. I had waited at least 16/18 minutes till my patience ran out...
Decided to have one more go right now. 1. Did a wipe data / factory reset. 2. After that, wiped Dalvik cache. 3. Presently installing Omni and then will install gapps. 4. Will reboot and leave it to boot until I leave work. (couple of hours from now). And will see what happens.
- Forgot to add thaty in all instances, I selected YES in the "root" question in the end. -
Thanks for replying!

Nothing changed. Stuck at the Omni logo for about 50 minutes..

So don't flash gapps and ROM back to back. Flash ROM then reboot and after waiting 5 mins reboot and flash gapps again.

Maybe format /system in addition to the factory reset (it's under mounts and storage). So you get a completely clean install

Thanks for your advice guys - Unfortunately I don't see any results
I booted in recovery and in this order: Wiped data / did factory reset - then wiped Dalvik - then did format /system - then flashed successfully Omnirom and at the end select YES in the "root" question. Did not touch the Gapps.
Same result - has been in the Omni Logo for more than half an hour.
Can someone tell me the absolute prerequisites needed to install and boot normally? Apart from CWM Touch 6.0.4.4 that is?
Thanks in advance

I really don't see any more required steps to install OmniRom. Did you try another downloaded OmniRom? Maybe something is wrong with your used version.

all I did under mount & storage is the "format /system". Did not mount anything any other time. Is this part of the procedure too or are we shooting blind here? - Cause directions in the post say flash rom, flash apps, wipe data & reboot, let alone the 15 other combos I've done.
Haven't tried anything yet cause I need to re-download the ROM and presently I can't get any of my 3 PCs "see" the LG's contents like a flash drive. Can only do it in my work's laptop. Beats me why..

If you don't have important data, format internal storage too. No idea for 4.4, but if you flash kdz, this is a must.

Haven't tried anything yet cause I need to re-download the ROM and presently I can't get any of my 3 PCs "see" the LG's contents like a flash drive. Can only do it in my work's laptop. Beats me why..

It is important to mount everything as far as I know. In my old device's forum it always a step that is specified, I never see it in these forums though.
Try it, you don't loose anything.
