Failed to flash any Custom Roms - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

i was using AICP on my S3 LTE
received OTA update message so I downloaded and tried to flash for a newer version as usual today.
however, after flashing the newest AICP Rom, I cannot enter into my system.
I wiped all data, even system data and flash it again, but same.
i am stucked in the animation logo.
i tried the following, all failed
1. flash newest version of TWRP by Odin, and flash AICP in TWRP
2. flash newest version of TWRP by odin, and flash CM 12.1 in TWRP
3. flash newest version of CWM by odin, and flash AICP in CWM
4, flash newest version of CWM by odin, and flash CM 12.1 in CWM
all of the above, i used factory reset after flashing, however, still stuck in the animation logo.
but then, i flash original SamSung S3 9305 firmware using Odin, I successfully enter the system again~
so i would like to know, in my case, what should i do if i would like to use custom rom?
thanks!

With AICP you must flash a extra kernel. It's in preview post of AICP

Bootloop

Hi when I try to install any lollipop based rom its install ok, but when rebooting it gets stuck on the sony logo and then it loops. I've managed to install the pre rooted lolipop, but want to install the resurrection rom, does anyone know hot to solve this ? Also if I try to install a kitkat rom it works ok.
for stock rom, you need flash lollipop kernel to boot it up if you came from kk.
your bootloader is unlocked? jush flash a kernel have build in recovery to flash RR.

DO you have a link ?
Before installing the .zip in the recovery make sure you do a Factory reset, then wipe Cache, then wipe system, cache, data and then Dalvik/ART cache. Then install ROM .zip and then gapps.zip and then reboot.

[James] Moto E5 Play won't boot into Custom ROM(s)

Device variant: XT19121-2 James
Chipset: MSM8920
After repeated failed flashes I am on stock firmware using this guide. Phone boots and works normally right now, but I can't seem to flash any Custom ROMs on to my phone. I was using this post to flash Lineage OS 15.1, which worked successfully at first, but the WiFi wasn't working so I reflashed it. It still didn't work so I did it again, wiping Dalvik/Cache too. After the second flash attempt, my phone began to only flicker on and off. I made sure to always clean flash, factory resetting, wiping Cache and Dalvik, even formatting data, but no matter what I do it doesn't work. Also attempted other GSI images (arm, A-only) like AOSP, ResurrectionRemix and phhusson's Lineage OS 15.1 But they all failed too. I am using TWRP for James v 3.3.1 although I did also try other TWRP images like v 3.2.1 . But it makes no difference. Also used Magisk v19 like some guides suggested but whether I have Magisk or not, it doesn't work. Even made sure to push the fstab.qcom file to /vendor. Anytime a Custom ROM is flashed whether zip or GSI img it goes past the initial "bad key" or "N/A" screen and starts flickering on and off. Bootloader and TWRP works fine, but that's about it. Everytime a flash fails I go back to stock firmware (which always works) and try another ROM. I wonder why the first attempt worked but doesn't anymore even if I mirror the exact steps I took from stock. If anyone has any solutions I would be really grateful. Let me know if you need any more information.
have you taken any recent OTA updates?

Okay give this a try, I'm assuming you have old root access and TWRP installed.
Download any Android 9 GSI of your liking, boot to TWRP.
Do a complete nandroid backup of the stock firmware.
Do a factory reset then wipe system partition.
Next flash your GSI that you downloaded to your system partition.
After flashing is complete of the GSI reboot to recovery.
After reboot completed flash your open Gapps zip. Then reflash Magisk.
if you get a error message when flashing g apps then you will need to use magic g apps with magisk as it will install them systemless. I have to do this on my device because the partition doesn't have enough space.
Give that a try and let me know how it goes if you have any questions feel free to ask.

I also just noticed you are using the latest version of TWRP 3.3.1. I'm not sure if you originally rooted and installed TWRP with the original patched version by Cody or not, but if so make sure with the new version that you format your data partition to f2fs. As this will ensure correct mounting of the data partition.

Followed these steps exactly, including formatting the data partition to f2fs, and the same problem still persists. Screen just keeps turning on and off in a loop without booting into the ROM. I downloaded the Lineage OS 16.0 GSI A-only Arm version for reference.
I am having the same issue
Using XT1921-1
Latest TWRP
Have tried LOS 15, LOS 16, AOSP 8.1, AOSP 9.0
Have tried flashing in fastboot and TWRP
Have tried every combo of wipe/factory reset/format data and magisk flash possible
have tried stock recovery, have tried no verity, have tried stock boot.img
nothing works. only able to produce powered on (black and blank) screen that turns on and off for a minute before returning to bootloader
PLEASE HELP
think i might need a 8.0 GSI but cant find one anywhere
I eventually got RR to boot on the james xt-1921-3 I installed XT1921-3_JAMES_T_MPCS_8.0.0_OCPS27.91-150-5-1-3_cid21 as a base, then used boot and vendor partitions from JAMES_T_OCP27.91-51-4_cid21_subsidy-TMO_RSU_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC and it finally worked.

Message me, I'll host a TWRP backup for the XT-1921-3 that boots RR 6.1
Download the file from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389 , then using fastboot, flash the vendor and boot img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then boot into recovery and flash the file from that post to disable dm-verity and force encrytion, after that flash magisk, then reboot to bootloader, at command prompt-
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
that should get you booted - profit

Pixel Experience 10.0 Plus - how to install? Currently bootloop

Hey,
I tried to Install Pixel Experience 10 Plus but failed with bootloop (was on latest stock before)
1. Downloaded from here https://download.pixelexperience.org/g8441 PixelExperience_Plus_g8441-10.0-20200330-1251-OFFICIAL.zip
2. As adviced there downloaded Software binaries for AOSP Android 10.0 – Kernel 4.14 – Yoshino (latest) from https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/downloads/software-binaries
3. Flashed
Code:
fastboot flash oem SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_10.0.7.1_r1_v5a_yoshino.img
4. Flashed latest TRWP https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...t/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-stock-security-t3706704
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-lilac-android10-1.img
5. Booted into TRWP recovery
6. Wiped wiped system, cache and data
7. Flashed through TRWP
Bootloop
Tried again, but this time wiped everything in step 6.
Again bootloop :/
Will recover to stock FW now, but what is the proper way to do it ??
I spent a day trying to get that one to boot but.. it just kept crashing out before going to setup so I'd say go stock and go with the unofficial build for now.
Yeah go with the unofficial build for now. It has a few bugs that will likely get fixed but other than it's pretty stable and runs well.
Thx for replies! This is what I got from the maintainer:
Warning, except Tama platform this is beta material
How to flash PE :
for yoshino platform : boot twrp, flash pe zip, reboot fastboot, flash oem, then fastboot -w and reboot

So still beta
