CM11 Infinite Boot Loop - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have an infinite boot loop when i try to get CM11 on my Z1.
You have to know that :
- I unlock my bootloader with adb and it's work : my bootloader is unlock
- I try ALL nightly honami rom on cyanogen website
- When i turn on CWM I clean reset all cache (wipe, dalvik and wipe data)
- I install the gaps too for 4.4
So after that i try an unofficial CM 10.2 stable version with gaps for 4.3
And get infinite boot again and again... !
I don't see where is the problem ? I wait 20 minutes for each times and roms are put the SD card.
I use adb for unlock my bootloader and i boot the good boot.img for each rom in the shell before the install.
Help please ! Why it's not work ?
Thanks

:up:

Did you ask this to the OP of the Rom which you installed, maybe he know the solution.

I had this issue once on my galaxy s2.
By that time, I used a custom kernel that wasnt optimized for CM. Could it be that you are using a custom, non-CM-supporting kernel?
Also try a factory reset before you install CM

I get this with just about every rom apart from CM11. I'm currently struggling with romaur
Hope you manage to get it sorted

The questions remains . What kernel are you using? Did you do a factory reset before flashing?

You must wipe data,system and caches BEFORE installing a custom ROM

i9305 stuck on rom booting screen after flash

Was flashing my friends i9305 and now it wont boot any rom I flash... always gets stuck on the first boot screen until I take out battery.
I flashed CWM 6.0.4.7 using odin.
I have tried flashing several roms (CM 11, CM 10.1, PACman 4.3)... Each one will flash with no errors, then when I reboot after correct GAPPS it just gets stuck on the loading screen forever and won't boot up into ROM.
Wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system > Install rom from zip, install GAPPS from zip > reboot (even here I wipe system/data/cache - still doesnt work).
Any ideas on why it won't load up the roms....

Well I figured it out... since it was never flashed or anything before (from stock rom)... I just went into the Mounts and Storage menu, and formated /cache /system /data manually and it finally worked.
Hope that helps

Random reboots after installing Gapps in Kitkat

Hi
I'm trying to install Kitkat 4.4 with Maclaws cm11. Also tried the carbon rom. All seems to work fine until I flash G apps. Then I get random reboots shortly after boot. Tried both micro and aroma Gapps from Mclaw. Am I alone with this problem? Any suggestions?
I'm using CWM for flashing and wrong cache etc. Baseband I8190XXANA2 in stock 4.1.2 (rooted) which works fine.
After more research it seems like reboots happens also without Gapps. Also happening in 4.3. There was recently a firmware update early this week. Maybe something has changed, breaking custom ROMs.

Bud,
If you're on stock just do that:
1-Reboot in recovery
2-Choose Wipe data/factory reset
3-Flash cm rom
4-Flash gapps
5-Reboot
Done, that's it. Not complicate.
If you want to update cm roms:
1-Reboot in recovery
2-Flash cm update
3-Choose Wipe cache & dalvik cache
4-Reboot
Done.
You don't need to mess up with anything more. Read my FAQ here for gapps & for more doubts. Have fun
thanks...

Thanks for the advice. I've read the faq's and followed that, but the problem is that my phone just reboots randomly a minute or so after it's booted up. Was suspecting this to be the latest firmware update, but if so the forum would probably been flooded with more with the same problem.
It might be my battery, which is bad. Just got a new one. Charging it now, and will try CM11 again tomorrow. If it still reboots I'll see if I'm able to access the logs to get an idea of whats going on. It works fine on stock, so I'm a bit puzzled... .
Solved
...and after changing battery CM11 runs smooth without reboots .
The reboots happened with the original charger plugged in. Why that didn't happen to the stock ROM I can't explain.
The original Samsung battery scares me a bit. It has become 1-2 mm thicker. Looks like an accident waiting to happen. Have to dispose of safely somehow...quick...

CyanogenMOD doesn't boot

Please help me! I'm familiar with Android flashing. I had more devices with custom roms so I don't know what should I dow now...
I have clockworkmod recovery. Factory reset and a fresh installed rom.
I wait more than 10 minutes after first boot without any response. Screen stays black.
Stock GB rom works without problem but I can not install CM.
CM ROMs not installing on my 5570 mini. What sould I do?
I have tried three recovery versions.
. cwm-touch-5.0.2.8-mini
. CWMR-6.0.2.7-StableV1.0-tass
. CWM-6.0.5.0-tass
Which one should I use?
I prefer CM11 rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715958
But I would be satisfied with a CM10 rom too. I tried CM10 from tass without success.
I have tried CM9 too. It has started but after system get in, phone freezes. I can't use CM9.
Main phone of mine is a Galaxy S3 and I had xperia and htc modells as well. I don't know what I'm doing wrong with galaxy mini. Would it be a problem if my phone is carrier locked?
These steps I'm following:
. Install stock GB ROM. (It's booting and works like charm).
. Install custom recovery.
. Do full wipe
. Install CM
. Wipe dalvik cache
. Reboot
. Phone doesn't start, screen stays black more than 10 min
Are there any specific step I skip anywhere?
Which stock rom do you use before install CM? Is it matters?
I'm very thankful about any ideas.
Please give me some advice!
Any update on this?

[Q] Official Cyamogenmod 12.1 Bootlop

Hey everyone, :laugh:
I found an Official update for my device from CyanogenMod Download Site.
I search any forum if available here about this ROM, unfortunately i cannot be able to find any form related to this ROM. Then i download 5.1 Gapps and download the ROM CyanogenMod 12.1. i wipe dalvik , userdata , cache and system. then flash both of the zip files ive downloaded. As i was using 12.0 Cyanogen i dont think i need to flash Cyanogen snapshot as it require for 12.0 to solve the BootLop. After flashing my phone is stuck on the booting animation since 20-25mins then i force reboot my phone into Recovery then i flash the SNAPSHOT and then reboot for once it works fine for me, then i just flash 12.1 and L gapps on the phone and then reboot, unforunately im facing the same problem from last hour. I dont know how to make 12.2 Cyan to work on my phone wihtout bootlop.
If anyone knows how to remove the bootlop then please let me know, thanks

Hmmm...I was on CM12 and wiped everything (cache, dalvik cache, system, data) so I clean flashed CM12.1 and GApps 5.1, after 2-3 mins it booted ok. So I guess flashing CM11 first is not needed. Just try again idk...:/

Flashing other roms than Andro X doesn't work

I just updated my bootloader and whenever i try to flash a rom, the booting process takes forever until i wipe my phone myself. But when i flash Andro X rom than it takes max. 3min to boot and then it works.
But i want another rom, how do i fix this?
Do you mean that when u flash lollipop based rom it gets bootloop? if yes then first flash stock lollipop firmware and then try flashing other rom. I mostly wipe my internal storage when going from Kitkat to lollipop it works for me.
Well Firstly Explain your problem clearly (I didnt quite understand it)
OK so here's my solution from what I understood..
1. Restore your stock rom Backup from recovery. Boot it once.
2. Now clean flash (Wipe System, Data , Cache, Dalvik cache) a lollipop based Rom (preferably try to clean flash cm 12.1 build)
3. Dont flash Gapps. First see if your phone boots up properly.
4. Configure data and reboot to recovery and flash Gapps.
If you dont have a Stock backup, Then download Stock Firmware images from gregor's thread and install via fastboot. Then follow from step2.
Hope this helps you.

Use easy installer first and get stock lollipop then u can simply root and install recovery then try roms?

My problem is that when i try to flash roms like CM12, Blisspop it doesn't stop booting, it was taking more than an hour so i shutdown my phone and when i flashed Andro X the booting took around 3mins.
So can anyone explain in easy steps how to fix this?
OK now I understand what your problem is. Give me your full specs (like which Model and and stuff). But if you follow what I said above it might fix your problem.

are you fully wiping cache and userdata (factory reset) because this is most common problem moving between Roms that causes bootloops and why I include factory reset in my easy installer.
you can only dirty flash when going up (upgrading) the same rom - changing roms or downgrading nearly always causes bootloop / hang.
