[Q] Omar-ROM Bootloop

Hi there,
today i tried to install omar-rom. Booted into CWM-Recovery - data wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache, mount and format /system. After that i installed the zip and rebooted the device.
And here is my problem, it won't boot properly, first time it boots into system, i see the app optimizing tab and immediately first reboot, after that it reboots while the motologo is shown or while the intel logo is shown... this goes over and over.
Two weeks ago i tried omar-rom, there was no problem. In the last two weaks i used original firmware with infini-ROM, infini-ROM still works when i use my untouched backup with these mods - omar rom doesn't. Tried Omar-Rom from 06.19 and 06.20, same result.
Anybody had similar problems, anybody can help?
PS: Sry 4 my bad english, im not a native speaker.

Exactly the same! It goes up to intel logo, then blacks out, sometimes i see optimizing tab, and bootloop.

Then we 2 are doing something wrong - I tried to explain exactly what I did, hope someone know what I did wrong.
But i feel like a retard, so many people use Omar-Rom without problems...

So you think that not installing via fastboot is the problem or what? Because i dont think so, it worked like a charm 2 weeks ago...

So, you say we use fastboot to return to stock fw and then install the rom as normal, or over pillama?

Flashed stock via RSD-lite, tryed to install omar-ROM with CWM after that - same result, bootloop.
Rryed everything possible now, nothing works - am I stupid or is there a problem with the last versions of omar-ROM?

I'll try flashing it over another firmware, it worked on retail br for me once
EDIT: Bootloop again, got up to optimizing apps and then reboot... This is so weird

I flashed "Retail Central Europe", same result as you mate.

Indeed, but what?

Make sure you have a custom recovery installed.
Download the *.zip file to your SD.
Boot into your custom recovery of choice.
<Optional when upgrading same ROM> Data wipe will be required if you came from another ROM, even stock EU.
Select install zip from external card, and choose the zip file.
Hit Reboot.

[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?

Very strange as that is the exact process I always follow to install a new ROM.

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.

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I will hold off from using it for now, but if recovery misbehaves again I will use it.

Anyone figured out how to resolve this?

Apart from what I have said I have the done, the only other thing is to try and re-flash the pre-rooted rom, other that as far as I know is starting from scratch, but I follow a simple procedure when flashing mine.
Stick Firmware 108 on >> Download SuperSu and Root Checker >> Use EasyRoot to root phone >> Use Recovery Tool >> In Recovery put lollipop on >> Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache >> Install Pre- Root Lollipop >> Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache >> Format >> Reboot >> Do Backup. Then setup your phone and it should have worked, but you might have to reinstall recovery.

Ok so I have had to re-root my phone after doing something stupid, and kept getting this error no matter what I did this time. I did a quick search and found that apparently it is harmless, I have left it and went on to setup the phone.

Yep me too. All better now.

Ok so I have found a small way around this, but it is a pain. When I get this error, I have already flashed the lollipop rom and am trying to format before restarting so I have a clear canvas to work with, but it won't let me, so what I have to do is go to wipe and then advanced wipe as I know format data gives me a error. Select Dalvik, System, Cache, Data, Internal Storage and wipe them, you may have to do data and internal storage a few times to get it right as it sometimes gives me a error still. After that you will need to re-flash lollipop as you will have no OS on there and if you restart or shutdown you will not be able to boot your phone.
I take no responsibility if anything should happen trying this.

Go in recovery, wipe data and cache, then go to "mounts and storage" and format /preload. If it fail to format it, then unmount /preload and try to format it again and flash cm11.
Did you try this?

Go To Download Mode,
Flash Your Mobile Back To 4.1.2 make sure you repartition )
Root it , & then install CWM,
Format system, cache, data, dalvik
Go to advanced format, & then format everything except SD card & USB Storage.
& then install ROM )
It would defo work, sometimes your data remains in your mobile, which makes error )

Md5 mismatch mean that the file is corrupted. Search on google for " md5 checker" and check the cm12 size and compare it to original md5. Then try to flash it again (repeating the correct flashing procedure, wrote in cm12 thread) , or if you want to go to stock jb 4.1.2 use ODIN program to do that, there are guides in general section of our phone forum, i don't have much time to write it or to search it and share it, but you can find it for sure.

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
