[Q] When I flash a 4.4. rom I get stuck. - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hello. I hope you can help with this problem.
I'm right now with Zaiben 10 and cmw 6.0.4.4.
When I try to flash a 4.x rom, I make a full wipe/factory reset, then I install the rom and finally the gapps. So far OK, but when I restart the mobile, don't boot, there's only a white screen and my phone goes off.
I don't know If I am doing something wrong, but I really appreciate If you can help me to finally install LegoRom or Nameless Rom.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings from Spain.

I had a similar problem with CM11 and my nexus 7. I had to change recovery.I was using cwm and I installed twrp instead. After that I did format system,data and cache and flashed rom again.

for cm 11, or general 4.4 rom, you need to cwm 6.0.4.5. installed,then you will be able to do everything normally

Thank you for your help, but I can't boot any rom 4.4X (I installed TWRP and the last CWM), all of them when I flash it does not boot, always the phone goes off . The only rom that works for me is Zaiben. Anyway I pressed the button for your help, thank you so much.
EDIT. Instead of doing a wipe, I made a full format and it seems that works...

Well yea, when you are switching or going for the first time from stock to some custom rom and backwards, you need to do full wipe and format, but I am not sure if that is the case, since I had stock rom on my phone for 3 days only

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.

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.

[Troubleshooting] (CM 10.2) Stuck at boot screen after reboot

Many of us are facing this problem where after flashing a 10.2 ROM and rebooting, the device is stuck at boot screen- the Samsung N7000 screen!
This is a strange problem which seems to be affecting only some n7000 handsets as others can keep flashing the ROMs without any issues...wiping, reflashing ROM, etc doesn't work!
I myself faced this problem on almost all custom CM 10.2 Roms and am sharing the solution which worked for me. At the onset, this solution was suggested to me by another member @Super Prince in one of my posts and it worked!!
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Flash the correct gapps once again
3. Reboot
The problem should be gone now and no more stuck-iness for you...

Which CM version are you on? This method has worked for me every time on CM 10.2 roms and official CM 10.2 gapps (the one dated 13/08/2013)
I used to get stuck on the GT N7000 screen after every reboot and resorted to all sort of stuff like reflashing, formatting and stuff but to no avail.
The only solution that worked for me was re-flashing the gapps!
Maybe you should try once again with the official gapps..and post your results.

I'm on Carbon, but I tried another CM based ROM as well and it did not work.
I will try it with the official Gapps and Slim Gapps then report back.
EDIT 1: Well. I tried the lastest Carbon nightly 10/17, with both Slim Gapps and normal regular Gapps and the same result, stuck on boot logo.
Both times I flashed a clean install. I'm out of options now.
EDIT 2: When I'm using a kernel from 4.3 and I'm on CWM trying to format Preload, I always get this message:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Error formatting /preload
Could that be a possible reason?, does anyone else have that same message?
No suggestions?
Am I'm stuck on 4.2?
Sent from my GT-N7000
It's the same for all on the new Cwm. Preload cannot be formatted in Cwm 10.2.
What happens when you clean install a rom without gapps. And boot it.?

I tried that last night actually, clean flash and no Gapps and the same result, stuck on boot screen.
What I've tried so far:
- Flashing different 4.3 ROMs with three different Gapps combinations.
- Flashing Carbon with no Gapps.
Thank you in advance for any ideas you can provide.
I have never encountered such an issue after a clean flash ever. So not sure what's going on there.
When a clean install, do you format system, data and cache and then install the new rom?

Yeah, what I do is to do a factory reset twice, then clear cache, then preload twice, data once, system twice and dalvik twice, and only then I flash the ROM and then Gapps.
I let it settle for one hour and then I start the configuration.
It is weird, because if I leave it to boot up normally for the first time, without opening any apps or configurations, it reboots normally. And only when I open Settings or an app, and then I reboot the phone, it gets stuck on the boot logo.
I've even tried to format the SD Card and no difference.
tried without the external SD card inserted?

@SirRhor Please try anothjer work-around before you do anything else:
1. Do all the wipes from a safe kernel
2. Flash Rom (only rom and no gapps)
3. Reboot the system without gapps
4. Now, reboot into recovery (I prefer to leave the system for 10-15 minutes to settle down before rebooting)
5. Flash the correct gapps
6. Reboot and set up ur google account etc.Restore apps or whatever u need from the play store. Dabble with rom settings
7. Reboot!
Did it work now?

maybe your bootloader corrupted already. Reflash the bootloader only or whole stock rom using ODIN may help ..
I'm glad to inform you that I was able to solve my problem following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427569
But instead of flashing the Stock Rooted ROM using Odin, I just flashed it within Philz Recovery.
Right now I'm changing settings and restarting on Carbon 4.3, and so far I have not had any problems.
To anyone experiencing this, just read this thread so you will not waste your time trying ALL the bullcrap I did and instead just try the guide above.
Thank you for everyone who helped me out.
EDIT: Maybe the OP can change the title of this thread to "FIXED" or "SOLVED".
So...which Stock Rooted ROM using to flash?...

Actually, I found a better more permanent solution.
Follow this guide to check for errors on the different partitions:

Let me know if it helps.
And to answer your question, I flashed a stock ROM from Hungary I think, no problems.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, instead of using the switches described on that guide, I used -f and -y at same time.

Usually first boot in cm10 is taking a long time, but if you already know that, have you tried doing a complete wipe(wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache) before install any custom rom?

If you still have the files on the phone ( ROM and GApps) enter in recovery, do all wipes (including system format) and flash again like you do it first and see what happened.
Maybe something going wrong in flashing process first time.

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
