Could be a bug or a one-time thing, it stopped when doing wipe data/factory reset, rebooted and it seems it did it anyways, but wanted to flash a rom xD. TWRP one is working perfectly tough, even with format system

Went to format cache and it seem cwm has just frozen, any ideas on how to reboot?
Volume down + power got it to reboot, but now stuck in bootloop
CWM corrupted the cache I think but fixed it via fastboop

Still problems with wiping cache. On the recoveries boot it says "Warning: No file_contexts". Stuck on formatting /cache.
It finishes formatting the cache but doesn't give an update to tell us it's complete.

ok, the warning can be forgotten. it is not a problem
Formatting cache takes some time. i have investigated it a bit. As far as i can see everything goes fine. It just takes some time and doesnt give u the complete sentence.

ohh it could be that, i might've waited like 10 secs on the wipe data but less than 5 in the format system

Problem
I just flashed the recovery after using TWRP for a long time and when I tried to wipe the cache the phone froze. I had to manually reset it. I had waited more than 5 minutes and it wouldn't unfreeze. I want to flash Omar roms and i understand i need this recovery, but cant flsh it, any help?

U can use both recovery's to install omars rom. The problem about the long cache wiping is different for each person. Some don't have any problem at all and some do have problems with it. Sometimes it takes a couple of minutes sometimes it wipes in 3 seconds. I dunno why it happens, but when android 4.4 is out with the new kernel i will definitely have another look into it.

SGS I9000 too slow!

Hy everybody,
I have got a big problem with my i9000: it doesn't start up very properly i mean it takes a lot to start the S logo animation, the animation is very slow (really low fps) and it usually stuck at the end of the animation (only once i managed to arrive to the menu where you have to choose the language but the touchscreen was not responding). Even CWM recovery is slow! There is a lag while choosing the options. I also tried to reflash using stock Samsung ROMS such as XXJPU and XXJW7 but i get the same issue. Also tried to install custom ROM via CWM, i get the speed back but touch doesn't work! I have already searched on the site for this issue and got a thread that had exactly the same problem but didn't manged to get out from this situation (here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422634, it's exactly the same issue!).
I have been flashing and repearing android devices for years and this is the first time i meet this kind of issue! Maybe it is a bootloader problem or motherboard, but i ask you experts before getting in troubles =)
Sorry for my bad english :victory:
Cheers :laugh:
I think it is a hardware problem mate(since you flashed too many roms...)
Rooting wont help you too so...

Nope, but you must not try to reboot after formatting it, . You need to power down, do a battery pull and flash a ROM package with boot loader for phone to function

Uhm every rom i tried via CWM, and even the stock rom when it gets loaded, doesn't give me a working touchscreen. This problem happened last month too and after flashing a lot of roms i managed to solve it in the end, but i was just lucky because i didn't know what the device had and i solved just flashing random ROMS and getting solved with XXJW7. That's why i'm not so sure it is a hardware problem =(

Try Elite JB RC12.1, if working on jw7, do a android backup, then you'll have to flash JVU 1st, if touch screen works then it'll work with the JB rom, here's a trick, instructions are there but do this. Backup everything to pc, take out sdcard, before flash jvu, do 3 wipes, data, cache, dalvik, then go to usb mount, format 5 items there, boot, data, cache, system, sdcard ( last wipes everything). Now do 3 wipes again, yes again, flash JVU, root, transfer Rom to sdcard, 3 wipes, do usb mount, then 4 formats (not sdcard), 3 wipes again, flash JB rom. If bootloop, no bigger it just flashed kernel, take battery out, wait back in recovery flash Rom. You'll be on JB.

Why dont you try flashing your original firmware via Odin with "repartition" ticked. Once that is done, let your phone boot and see if there's and lag. If lag still persists, go to CMW, format system, boot and data and restart your phone and then check again

Hey!! I tried various ROM combinations and it worked for a few months. Although even after a few days, the problem would reappear and I was forced to flash again(it started working after flashing about 30-50 ROMs). Finally, a month back, I came across the same problem again but this time, nothing worked. After hitting my head on the wall for a month, I finally gave it to the Samsung ppl and they figured that the problem was with the touchscreen!!(zoinks!!) They will replace the touchscreen and it would cost me $145(8,000INR , expired warranty). They'll return it in 4 days. I'll post more when I get my SGS back.
Hmm, looks to me, you must have flashed something wrong/flashing process goes wrong. I would suggest this 'solution':
1. Flash a new recovery system. I suggest the latest TWRP recovery or flash the latest CWM. To me, CWM has given me lots of problems. You can flash it through computer or through CWM using their flashable zip.
2. Once then, wipe everything! Data, cache, dalvik cache.
3. Next, format the system! If you formatted system, you will lose your current rom. Meaning the phone will not boot up until you install/flash a ROM.
4.Install necessary stuff like Google Apps
Done! Things should be working right now. I had problems like you, my phone sometimes takes 2-5 minutes to boot.
I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S Plus I9001. So, I flashed Acro86's ICS rom. Super smooth.
Hope I helped you!

Hi, I have exactly the same problems.
I guess it's also touch error, I already changed it once and after the year and then started having problems as it was pressed alone, stuck all the time and stopped working. As I was reading and testing, I think I'll buy again the touch.

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!
---Update
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.

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.

It keeps freezed 5 minutes on the kernel logo and then, automatically it shutdowns. If I try to power it on happens the same.
How often do you keep changing ROMs?
At least it boots upto the kernel right? That's awesome, because the last time, mine wouldn't go beyond the Samsung logo. Just let me know if the next time this happens, it atleast boots to Recovery mode.
Good Luck! Hit Thanks if I'm helpful!
Could be a conflict of init.d files, i always delete my init.d files before flashing another rom.

That could be a solution. Although, you never told me if you're able to boot into recovery mode!
yeah sorry forgot to ask you, anyway if you have a custom rom installed then most roms have init.d and a custom recovery already, you could even boot into recovery and also wipe system before flashing custom rom (which will wipe init.d folder) but make sure you have a nandroid backup first just in case.

If you're able to boot into recovery mode, why do you fret? Just boot into recovery mode and flash the file once again. At times, when you flash a new ROM, it first only flashes the kernel (Don't know why) and then you have the ability to boot to system.

I'm actually clueless about why this is happening. I'll try and let you know after some research.

(Obvious Question) You do wipe your '/system' partition right?

Always stuck at Formatting cache

Hello everyone.
Lately I had this frustrating problem with formatting the cache through any recovery I ever had. ALWAYS!
How flashing a ROM goes:
- I'm powering off the phone and enter in recovery.
- I select Wipe Data/Cache (Or Wipe for a new ROM option in CWM)
- It starts by formatting data and next is cache, where I get stuck.
I don't have many options. I can either pull out the battery or wait a while. Oh, no worries, after 5 minutes of "formatting cache" it reboots, with the current ROM messed, obviously.
It's annoying because no one seems to have this problem and it happens every single time when I wipe.
Hope there is someone who will bother helping me out with this.
P.S. - I'm no expert, more like a noob, so don't ask me too-technical questions.
Thankiees!
switch to latest TWRP
flash stock om once with odin
wipe data and cache with stock recovery once
then install latest TWRP
that fixed it for me when i had that issue

I had the latest TWRP when I did so. No matter what recovery I use, I always get stuck there.

Yeah, I'll try it in these days!
Do I have to (or "have I to"? I forgot how to English x.x) test something in particular for you?
EDIT: How to flash it?
Go in into CWM and flash it as .zip, is it correct?

You're the best!!!!!
So, I tried you're TWRP.
I tried to navigate a little into the menus, I tried to make a Nandroid backup, but it rebooted D:
So, I tried again to backup. It rebooted again D:
"Doesn't matter" I said.
Then, I full wiped (system, cache, dalvik, data) and I re-flashed your ROM (CM 11). Flashing went ok, but while I was wiping dalvik/cache, it rebooted D:
I think your recovery can't stay too much time "in activity", it's a little unstable.
Anyway, I rebooted system but it goes into recovery D:
Tried again, but nothing, it goes into recovery. So, I tried again to full wipe and re-flash your ROM... But nothing D: still goes into recovery D:
Sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand what I write D:

Probably, backup could work, but it takes "a lot" of time and your recovery can't stay awake for a lot of time without rebooting.
This is what I think.
