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.

Hi, I have flashed many roms in other devices and is the first time it happens to me and i don´t know why.
I flashed the latest firmware via odin then root and cwm, well. When I installed the CM rom with his wipes it boots first time, works perfect, but when i reboot it bootloops, but if do the wipes again it boots first time again but when I reboot bootloop again, any solutions? Thanks.
The Rom I flashed is this (winter release) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212438

I can assure you there is nothing wrong with the rom as I have personally used that rom as well as many others. Having said that, I will ask you to do all the necessary steps to install a rom.
1. flash stock via odin.
2. root your phone and flash cwm 5.
3. boot into recovery, do factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik wipe and format system in mounts and storage.
4. check the md5 sum of the rom for it's integrity and then copy it to sd.
5. flash the rom. reboot system.
first boot will take a bit of time. after setting everything reboot. your phone will boot just fine. have patience though. booting may take time. whatever happens, you should not be in bootloop now because rom is okay. good luck:good:

Hi guys, i need your help..
I was tried to install a custom ROM and i use CWM v6 to install it (i'm on stock ROM | JB 4.3 | FW .205 | locked bootloader | recovery installed : CWM & TWRP), first step i format the /system and is successfull, then the next step wipe data/factory reset but i get stuck process on:
--- wiping data ---
clear /data done.
clear /cache...........
I don't know why, but i've been waiting for 20 minutes and still stuck like that than i decides to turning off the phone with tiny button at bottom of battery (not power button), i turn on the phone again and then i've got bootlop ( what.... where is my recovery ) i didn't noticed the recovery still in there because there is no LED notify when i turn on the phone, just SONY logo :crying:
Is that happen because wiping data didn't completed and causing my recovery also gone ?
So what should i do ? can i get the phone back again ? I have the stock ROM backup on my sd card and on my laptop because before i try to install a custom ROM, i've created current ROM backup with CWM.
please help me guys..

You wiped /system so your recoveries are gone.
On older Recoveries using the wipe to install new rom can take ages so just leave it and eventually it will finish, latest version of Philz (in Bagyusz/Nexus ROMs) seems to fix this issue.
Use DSSMEX triple recovery and use philz not cwm as its a much nicer recovery (but the clean still takes ages as its an older version)
Use flashtool to flash stock rom and start from scratch to re-install custom rom.

You have bootloop because your phone is essentially empty of any OS or recoveries.
Flashtool to stock, find dssmex triple recovery and install that in stock when rooted, load into Philz, clean to install a new ROM and then just wait, it will take a while usually dont worry unless it takes over an hour.
Then flash the custom ROM of choice.

Can I know what Custom ROM are you trying to install?
Sometimes wiping could take time, and I am not sure why. If happens again in the future, just let it be.
As you are using LBL, I am unable to elaborate nor understand how recovery has gone. (WARNING: FOREIGN LANGUAGE) Recoveries for LBL are stored in the ramdisk OR the FOTAkernel. This is due to the fact that Xperia SP does not has an exclusive "recovery" partition in the rootfs. I dont know if wiping data would trash them.
You can easily recover your phone by flashing a stock ftf. You may follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56717587&postcount=4

Flashtool to stock means i need .ftf file to restore the stock rom ? is it possible to restore stock rom through nandroid backup file that i've created using cwm ?
Well, the problem is solved. My phone back again and a custom rom has been installed.

I have a nexus 6 running cm 12 which function perfectly well.
the device is unable to install the latest cm12 nightly.
It got downloaded completely and is ready to install but when I reboot the phone to install the latest nightly, it takes me to TWRP recovery.
I dont know why this is happening.
Can anybody please help me?
If you need any more information to solve the issue, let me know
I never do custom ROM OTA's, but don't you flash the nightly manually? If you're dirty flashing just wipe cache/dalvik and install the nightly

I always thought that I have to factory reset my device each time I need to flash a ROM.
Can I download the nightly update and flash it manually from recovery without factory resetting my device?

yes. if just updating a rom, you never have to factory reset, only when flashing a new different rom. and you dont ever have to wipe dalvik/art or cache, as when you flash the rom they automatically get wiped. so download the latest cm via your browser, boot into your recovery, then flash it in your recovery.
This is what I see when I tried to flash the downloaded nightly build from the cmupdator folder

Hello, I have an s3 mini I8190N model, with CM 11.0 kitkat 4.4.4(cm11.0_golden.nova.20150108) installed on it since nearly its release, the phone worked very fine, till today I entered the ROM manager app and pushed the "Boot to Recovery" button, so now it doesn't boot neither to the system nor to the recovery. I remember having CWM on it.
What I get now is only the "Samsung S3 mini..." splash screen, nothing else.
I have these files ready on my computer:
Recovery-CWM-I8190-Official-TOUCH-6.0.2.7.ODIN.zip
cm11.0_golden.nova.20150108.zip
What should I do now ??
You probably soft bricked your phone, I suggest you to check if you still can go into download mode and flash with Odin a wipe file and then a stock rom, once it is working again flash twrp recovery instead of cwm with Odin and try not to use rom manager, I've heard it causes the brick you have.

Not if you flash the wipe file, you can try flashing the stock rom without the wipe but It's recommended to do a clean install. Another option is to flash a file called PARAM to see if it solves the bootloop. But the way I fixed a softbrick in my phone was flashing param, wipe and stock rom in that order with Odin.
Are you able to go into recovery?

I will install TWRP through Odin v3 on the phone, then I'll flash without wiping data, then I'll recover necessary data(especially contacts) and then redo a clean install with wiping all the rubbish files.
I will tell you after I follow these steps on whether it was successful or not.
Thank you very much!

Effectively, I installed the missing recovery software (TWRP), and after that I selected from the boot menu in TWRP the "System" entry, then it booted fine and I didn't lose any of my data. Though I have to make a clean flash next time, by cleaning the dalvik cache... etc.
Thank you for your support!
what i'm trying to do is installing lollipop on my s advance
i was coming from CM11 by epirex, and i decided to try his SlimLP; did all the wipes, flashed rom and gapps with no error at all, and then the phone endlessly rebooted into TWRP
so i did a deep clean installing jb with odin; then rooted, installed cwm, flashed MaxiCM this time without gapps and... again the phone only boots into recovery.
what can i do? can this mean that my phone is dying?
