[Q] ROM Problem : Stuck on boot logo

This is the story
I first installed Unlocked bootloader from asus, CWM recovery for tf300t, and then i used the update.zip to gain root access
I downloaded the CM nightly build, used CWM to backup, then flashed the CM ROM.
It was stuck on CM boot logo for about 30 min, so i restarted and cleared my cache.
I tried flashing again, and it was still stuck on boot.
I then restored to my backup, and now it is stuck on the original ASUS boot animation.
What do I do?

restore with cwm,ifyou can, to earlier version,working
then remove ClockWorkMod Recovery, by fastbooting TWRP instead...much more reliable (team win recovery)
then to root, theres a theres a batch script tool, that,when tablet is connected to pc, will run and reboot the tablet several times, rooting it.
ill look for the link, its in the forums here, debug,defug..something
there are other methods,that worked the best for me...
CM had been having issues, install CleanROM 2.1 HAS THE JB UPDATE V13 in it. its smooth

I am having the same issue installing any ASOP roms on my tf300t.
I have the TWRP recovery, gained root by flashing.
I can install ASUS based roms like CleanROM fine, but I cannot flash any ASOP roms like CM10.
Just curious on what is preventing us from doing this. Especially when our devices are supposedly "unlocked" with custom recoveries and root.
If this device still continues to be this locked up, I might just have to sell mine when the GN2 comes out.

First declare your bootloader. Have you ever been on a jb-rom, stock or otherwise?
Looking at git for cm it appears the kernel is 2.6, so I would expect that is not a jb rom.
cwm has some issues on this unit.
get into cwm and use fastboot to flash twrp for the proper bootloader you have.
or get into fastboot by use of power and volume down
at that point you can twrp a rom into place; probably not to restore your backup as twrp and cwm have issues reading each others backups.
Good Luck!
Note: If you can power up and access recovery (cwm in your case) you are not bricked and should be able to recover. I have as well as many others. Take your time and go a step at a time! Make back ups and make sure you have fastboot and adb access to your unit! If you are still ics bootloader consider nvflash once you have this mess sorted.

This is a known problem... once u get the OTA asus jb update, u can no longer flash any aokp or cyanogen jb roms. This is due to the kernel in these roms which are based on ics but since uve installed new ota jb bootloader it will not work and get stuck on boot screen. Restore in recovery will not work either. U need to download latest asus firmware and flash it then fastboot a recovery (i recommend twrp) and reroot.

Ah, ok. I have the JB OTA update so i have the latest bootloader :/
I restored my nandroid of stock and it worked fine.
Just flashed CleanROM which is running great. Cant wait till the CM team gets the JB bootloader worked out as i have always loved being ASOP. Any info on when it might happen?

[Q] Changing Stock kernels

Hi,
I have managed to put on a kernel that's not working. Is there a way to revert back to the original kernel? I do have a nandroid backup, but re-installing that didn't put on the old kernel.
I am using Liquidsmooth ROM. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

if you can boot into the rom use flashimagegui, if not do the normal fastboot the boot.img then do it again with flashimagegui to get the modules.
what kernel did you try to flash? the only kernel that will work with new liquidsmooth is cm10.1_vz-oc-linaro.3.zip. it contains modules, if you aren't s-off then you need to flash boot.img in fastboot then flash again in recovery for the modules.

I did exactly that, presuming that it was working... But I have been facing issues. The phone restarts every once in a while and I have managed to get to this condition after multiple wipes and restoring a backup. Anyways I don't know what the issue is I was just wondering how to revert back to the original kernel.

im running Liquid-JB-v2.1-RC2-evita.zip and cm10.1_vz-oc-linaro.3.zip. there seem to be some general issues with the rom that present as basically glitching and gets worse overtime atleast for me. im pretty sure it isnt related to the kernel. but to revert kernel just load the liquidsmooth zip into flashimagegui and itll pull the needed files, let it wipe cache and dalvik then reboot.

Thanks I'll make sure I do that..

also new stable build of liquidsmooth just got released. you should flash it. imma flash it with a clean full wipe. but you should s-off first so you dont have to flash boot.img separately every rom.

Ya, I saw the new version wanted to try that which is why I wanted to got to the old kernel version. I had tried installing it with the linaro kernel but it gets stuck on the boot screen.
Update: - I installed the flash gui image, then extracted and installed the kernel , factory reset the phone, then installed the latest liquid smooth build. But it is still not going ahead of the boot animation.
Update 3 :- Got the old kernel back. Did a restore. Working fine now . But still for some reason I cannot install the new ROM yet.

you need everything. you don't need to extract the kernel. just load the whole zip file.

I did load the full file and the flash gui image extracted the kernel. The thing is I have the kernel now, but still I can't seem to be able to install the new version of the LiquidSmooth build. I am doing a nandroid backup of this thing and try installing it again.

well new liquidsmooth is nice, im using cwm now as recovery since ive had tons of issues with twrp since version 2.2.2.0

[Q] CM11 Stuck on Bootloader

Attempting to get CM11 onto my Razr HD Maxx.
Steps I've taken:
Flashed CMW 6.0.
Enter Recovery
Format /system
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Wipe delvik cache
Install CM11/gapps
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Wipe delvik cache
Reboot system
Then it goes to the Warning Bootloader Unlocked screen and stays there.
Edit: I saw another thread where the user had a similar issue, but I cannot follow how they solved the problem.
Edit2: Backups aren't being flashed correctly either it looks like. Not sure if there is a way to put any new files onto the phone in its current state. If anyone could help me, I'd appreciate it very much. Possibly just bricked the phone :/

I had a similar problem. I ended up having to flash the recovery several times via ADB and iirc it was Philz recovery that finally worked for me. Ironically i had to even use a different ROM initially to get it to take the recovery and boot and then was able to switch over to CM11 (the recovery kept reverting to an earlier version of CMR) This was when 6.0.4.4 had just come out so that may not be what you're running into
Make sure you also have a compatible Gapps. Also try another rom just to be sure its working. Currently i've got SlimKat going and they have an updated Gapps package. Its pretty similar to CM11 in overall feel so start there to make sure your recovery is working

I'm going to try to do the AP Fastboot/ADB with Philz recovery. I haven't done this in a while so I wasn't sure if there was a general guide to do so. Downloading motorola drivers to my laptop right now, then I'll be attempting to flash via ADB.
No luck trying to ADB. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but the command prompt pops up for half a second and then disappears. Getting frustrated with this phone and have no idea what to do.

Can't say i've seen a guide lately on this but its a simple thing.
Put the recovery you downloaded like "philz_touch_6.19.3-xt926.img" in the same folder as your adb.exe
start a command prompt as administrator (right click it)...that part is important
get the phone in fastboot (hold down power + vol down) and connect by usb
enter the command "fastboot flash recovery philz_touch_xxxxxxx.img
unplug and reboot the phone to recovery and see what you get

I am still not getting any luck. I run adb.exe as administrator, command prompt pops up for 1/2 second, disappears. I then run RunMe as administrator. This brings up command prompt up, I type "fastboot flash recovery philz_touch_6.19.3-xt926" hit enter.
This comes back: error: cannot load "philz_touch_6.19.3-xt926"
Edit: Disregard the post. I got it to flash philz recovery. I am in Philz Recovery right now. I am going to wipe, etc. Then re-flash the rom.
Edit2: After wiping and flashing the rom/gapps I am still stuck on bootloader. The files I'm using are:
cm-11-20140130-NIGHTLY-xt926-epinter.zip
gapps-kk-20131118.zip
If you have suggestions on trying different release or gapps, or any other ideas let me know.
Edit3: Whenever I flash the ROM it comes up "install from sd card complete". Then however it says "Cannot write to /sdcard/clockworkmod/.last_install_path Press any key to continue. No clockworkmod/aromafm.aromafm.zip in storage paths.

the best way is if you have an USB Micro SD card reader. far far easier. Other than that you can use ADB to push the files over but you'll have to find the commands as i don't know them off-hand

Okay, I'm gonna try to use ADB. Not sure why but ADB always has trouble recognizing my phone. Haven't gotten around that quirk which I think is also the reason I was having trouble getting Philz to flash.
Edit:Not sure how I did it, but I mounted my SDCard in recovery, and it connected to my computer and was able to copy everything fairly easily.
Edit2: Still stuck on the bootloader screen :/
Edit3: I've done everything again: fastboot'd Philz recovery, wiped everything, installed CM11, flashed gapps, wiped data/cache. Rebooted and still get stuck in bootloader. No idea what step is next, or if I should just try to install a different rom.
Is it possible my phone is bricked?

So after having no luck with CM11 or Philz touch recovery, I flashed CWM and tried to flash CM11 again. No luck, so I tried flashing SlimKat. No luck with that either.
Really clueless atm about what to do.

Use one of the toolkits to flash back to stock. Its all automated and then you can try again

Stuck after 4.4.2 root and unlock
I'm having the same issue described above, however I rooted with towelroot. I unlocked the bootloader and am running twrp 2.7. I've only tried to install CM11, but it just freezes at the boot splash, and cycles through that until I shut it down.
If it matters, I originally rooted a year ago through the first unlock found by Dan rosenberg. I ran CM11 until this most recent root was found, and then I flashed the stock kit kat so I could get the updated antenna software.

TowerRoot + Autorec + Cyanogen Mod

When I found out that Towel Root can finally root my 4.4.2 LG G2 (D801) from T-Mobile I was very excited to try it, so I went ahead and installed it. It worked of course, very well. so I continued to install Autorec, which restarted into TWRK Recovery. Great!
I wipe Dalvik & Cache and flash the Stable Cyanogen 10.2 rom from 2013, and now it's stuck on boot. Also tried with the latest nightly to same outcome.
What am I missing here?

The only problem is, I can't do a full wipe because I have to keep the ZIP files of Cyanogen Mod and Gapps on the device. There is no way to load them on the device when in TWRP.
Also, that post is very confusing. It has a list of roms, and then a download link to a completely different list. How do I know which download correlates with:

OK I tried again, flashed LGD801_10C_RADIO.zip before the Cyanogen zip, then Gapps and Supersu, restarted and it's doing the same thing. Cyanogen screen loading animation but never booting up.
Like I said before, I CANNOT do a full wipe in TWRP because that will delete all the ZIP files on the device. This device does not have an SD card I can load them on and the USB connection doesn't work (driver not found, this is apparently a known bug).

With TWRP can't in the wipe section you do an advanced wipe and just not select internal storage, thus leaving the ROM on your phone while still doing a full wipe?

TheBestEver said:
Full wipe means the "factory reset" option in TWRP. You're on kitkat bootloader. You need to somehow find a flsshable .zip of the jb bootloader. Modem doesn't matter. I've used JB and KK modem and both work. Maybe you're on stock KK kernel and need to flash the JB kernel? If you're on KK stock and want to jump to CM you should find a flashable .zip of both kernels or .IMG times and try that as well if option 1 doesn't work. Sorry

ok guys, stupid question time. i have been out of the hacking game for a while and havent been keeping up with the S3 since i was running a pretty stable version of cyanogenmod. i picked up a S5 last month and the S3 has just been sitting but the wifes phone is on its last leg so i figured i would update the S3 and give it to her since it would be an upgrade to what she has now. i was running CM 4.1.2 and tried to flash the 4.3 AllianceRom. did my usual, updated CWM, downloaded the rom, checked the MD5, flashed the new modem and rom using CWM and everything looked good. then it happened. stuck at the "galaxy SIII" logo screen. nothing got me out of it. wiped everything, tried a reinstall, downloaded the rom again and did an install, nothing. tried another rom and the install failed, tried another rom and again, install failed. so i had a copy of cleanrom 5.6 which is a 4.1.1 rom and damn if that didnt hand as well. so i did a battery pull and luckly it had installed and the phone actually booted up and into android. the only downside is for some reason i cant connect to wifi with the rom. so, i still want to try either 4.3 or 4.4 on this phone so the question is, WTF am i doing wrong that it wont boot? shouldnt i be able to go from 4.1.1 to 4.3 or 4.4 by just using CWM? help a brother out.

Make sure u cwm is the most recent

You need to use the latest PhilZ Touch Recovery (https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/) (just flash it in your current recovery). It is the best, and it works great. I would first go to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and choose to "Clean to Install a New ROM." Then I would go into "Advanced" and wipe dalvik cache. Then I would go into "Mounts and Storage" and format boot and modem. Then I would flash the newest modem (http://www.mediafire.com/download/v0als76t6nmtpbo/DNE1.modem.zip). Then finally install your ROM and then GApps.

yes, CWM was updated just before flashing. i installed the recommended modem for the rom i was installing. not sure why it was stuck at the logo on 4.3 when i flashed a 4.1.1 rom and it booted right up just fine.

resolved. thanks guys.

Curious to know what you had to do to get it working?
I have two (2) S3's that I need to update and they're both running 4.1.1 ROMs.
Any info would be much appreciated.

I did all of the above and I can't get anything to work....
I updated to Philz, updated the modem and went to install a new ROM and it's error'ing out every time?
This phone was rooted from way back and it appears that I may have lost root... It's stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S III boot screen and I'm trying to get it to boot in to recovery at this time.
Edit: Was able to get in to recovery and restoring a backup now. Somethings not right when trying to go to a newer ROM.

Did you update to the latest version? If your on an old version and attempt to flash a 4.4 rom you will get a status 7 error everytime

I thought I updated to the latest Phliz and I do believe that's the error I was getting when I tried to load the ROM.
I'll check again Monday.
I appreciate the info.

The issue was with Philz.
I upgraded to the latest TWRP and loaded the new ROM fine.
