[Q] Installing cm12 bricked? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I downgraded from 5.0 to 4.2.2 and tried to install cm12 with safestrap, once it installs it boots up, goes to black screen for a couple seconds and then automatically goes into recovery, how can I fix this?

Reflash stock rom, you cant install cm12 if you had read you could have avoided this.

[Q] CWM looping after running CM Downloader

Hi all,
Hoping someone knows how to solve this issue.
I have been running the CM10.2 nightlies and downloading and flashing manually without too much issue.
I decided to try the app 'CyanogenROM Downloader' aka CM Downloader.
It worked fine to download the latest nightly but when I used a future which booths the phone into CWM and flashes automatically it just started looping.
It loads CWM and starts flashing but only gets a quarter of the way through before the screen flickers and the flash starts from the beginning.
If I reboot the phone by holding power and volume up until it buzzes 3 times it still loads directly into CWM and attempts to flash again but gets stuck in the same loop.
Do I have to flash back to a stock ROM now using flashtool to fix this?
I have the same issue on PAC nightlies. Try to flash an older or custom (with twrp) kernel to use recovery and flash the newest cm over it.

Thanks for the reply.
The issue was it wouldn't let me into the recovery menu.
All good now. I left it off for an hour and it booted fine. I manually launched CWM and flashed the ROM and it worked fine. I'll let the CM Downloader app devs know of the issue.

[Q] Problem booting after updating to 10.2M

Today Cyanogen updater notified me that the 10.2M build was available. I usually only flash stable builds, but I decided to check it out.
I was updating from 10.1.3- did everything as I always did, flashing seemed to go fine, but then I got stuck on the Cyanogen splash screen. So I went back to safestrap recovery, flashed back to 10.1.3- wiped cache etc... same thing. Just stuck on the Cyanogen splash. Tried installing 10.1.2, which was the first version I ever flashed. Same problem.
I was able to successfully boot back into stock using Safestrap (v3.11), but now I can't seem to get any version of Cyanogen to successfully boot.
Any suggestions?
Reboot into cm 10.2 before flashing gapps?

Stuck in CWM recovery boot loop

Hi,
My Nook HD+ was running Xperia custom ROM perfectly fine. Few days back I tried to sideload an app and it rebooted to CWM recovery. After that it reboots only to recovery.
As per the instructions in another thread, I flashed Leaplinar's stock recovery but I still got the Cyanoboot logo when rebooting and I also tried flashing his rooted stock 2.1.1 but it got stuck at 99% when rebooting to stock ROM.
Any suggestions ? Should I do a hard reset ?
Thanks

Did you do a factory reset after flashing that stock ROM? You need to.

[Q] TWRP issue VS980 and random reboots

Hi guys....I have a few issues....my Verizon LG G2 is rooted. I have twrp 2.7.0 as my custom recovery. It won't let me flash the newest update! As well as it randomly reboots on me...it's annoying. Also I tried to flash cm12 and gapps and is said it was successful. Well it sent me through a bootloop and thankfully I was able to manually enter recovery mode and restore to my previous back up. But what am I doing wrong?! I need help! I'm new at this. Thanks!
PS. I used vs980_AutoRec.apk to get TWRP
I assume you are coming from stock which is kitkat based. CM12 is jb based, so you'll need to flash the 12b bootstack (found in xdabbebs thread)before installing CM.

How do I install CM13 on VS980

What do I need to do to get this thing on CM13.
I got with 5.0.2 39A installed, I have rooted it using the one click root method, and then did the freedom tool to get TWRP installed with 39a bump. Then I flashed XDABBAB's 39a bootstack.
Now when I flash the CM13 nightly rom, it reboots, shows the LG logo, then the blue animation for CM13 for a brief second and then freezes and reboots... I did a full wipe of everything but internal storage before flashing the CM13 rom...
I am at a loss, what am I doing wrong?

You dont need to install bootstack if you are on lp. Just go back to stock, update till LP, root, use autorec to install twrp, then flash cm13. This should resolve the issue :good:
I forgot to update the thread. Ended up being a bad emmc.
Replaced mobo and no more issue. The phone would hard lock in recovery, or anytime any heavy writing was happing to the partitions. No worries once I popped a new mobo in flashing went without issue
