Hi, everyone, I have a Nexus S and I am new to roms and stuff and by far I was using the latest Cyanogen mod, because the installation was easy. I decided to try this custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2410844. And after a lot of reading, I figured that i have to install the latest Clockwork mod, so I did, then transferred the rom .zip file to my storage, rebooted in recovery and installed the zip. Then I rebooted again and all that is happening now is - an android text with highlights moving over it is standing in the center of my screen, but nothing loads... I waited like 30-40 minutes but it just stays there... Can somebody tell me if I was wrong with the instructions somewhere or this can be a problem with my device? Thanks a lot and sorry for posting a new thread about it, since I'm new, I'm not allowed to ask in the Developers Section.
I didn't Wipe/Factory reset. Could this be the problem?
It seems you got stuck in the boot loop itself.!! From next time on when you are about to install a new rom, make sure you do a full factory/data wipe.!!
Now that you are stuck in boot loop, just remove batter, insert it, hold simultaneously your volume up+power buttons. From the menu choose recovery. Then
1.data wipe/factory reset.
2. Wipe cache.
3. mounts and storage --> format system.!!
Now you are good to go. Make a clean install of your new ROM. I guess your device by now should work normally.!!

Hit thanks if I helped you.!!
Yes, I already did it, right after I asked, with the factory/reset function (I thought this is the problem, so I did it), everithing is ok now, but thanks for answering!
It's ok for the admins to delete that thread, thanks!
I also have a problem with same ROM.
Every once and a while after making a call or doing anything with Dialer he freezes and after that system just reboots. I've installed last version of CWM, updated SuperSu, installed Pa full version of GAPPS.

Yeah, i finally made it. I bought a TMO-DE One S (With S4 Processor) 5 Days ago, unlocked the Bootloader (HBoot 1.09), rooted and SuperCID´d it, installed CWM Touch and installed TrickDriod V8.0 incl. its Tweak Package. After that i installed another Radio and everything was fine. It could have been SO easy, but i just HAD to do more, and now its soft-bricked.
At all TrickDroid is a really good ROM, but i hated the thingy that it shows G symbol instead of H when getting HSPA speeds. So i decided to dump it and go for a 4.0.4 / Sense 4.1 Stock Rom without branding instead until a JB / Sense Rom comes out. And thats were the trouble started. i flashed the stock rom with CWM, installed the boot.img that came shipped with it and booted it up. I did a full wipe before flashing. It booted up, Sense Stock Background Image came on and it showed "Unfortunately Wiper App is closed" at the "Preparing phone storage" stage. After OK´ing that another Screen came up about some system service wouldnt respond (dont know the exact Text anymore) wich i could close or wait for it. No matter what i do, or if i do nothing, after ~20 seconds the phone crashes and restarts. After the first restart the phone only boots into a black screen but with the Android bar at the top is working with time, battery-charging and a warning smybol. But the Phone wont react to anything i do except for lockscreen button. When its "online" i can push files via adb to the internal SDCard so i thought it wouldnt be a big problem. i pushed ONE MaximuS V2.5 ROM to the SD Card, booted into CWM and installed it. then flashed the boot.img of it via fastboot and booted it up. but nothing happens. still black screen with bar on top and not reacting phone that reboots every 20 seconds. i allready tried full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe and i dont really know what to do now.
A broken SD Partion cant be since i can push files via ADB to it and install them with CWM. But whatever i try to install every ROM boots only in this blackscreen. its clearly not hanging in bootloader, but in android itself. I dont really know what to do, and returning to my dealer is no option since Rooting, SuperCID´ing and flashing another ROM. You maybe have a Idea what to do now?
Peace
TK
PS: Sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand it
Edit: Okey, i got something. i formatted everything i could in CWM, and now (as its now supposed) it hangs in bootloader since no system is there for booting. The good thing is in CWM i get ADB Connection so i can still push files to the SDCard. Im now trying installing a ROM again. So at least i have a starting Point if it fails again
Edit 2: Okey, found it. The "Stock" ROM is broken, not my Phones Fault. and MaximuS just doesnt install right so nothing was changed. Installed TrickDroid again for testing and everything is fine again. Close this one...
Hey guys,
First off I am the newbiest of the noobs. And I think I stumbled into bricking my asus tf101. I was wondering if you incredibly amazing developers would have a work around for me
I had rooted the TF101 a while back it worked everything was fine, I was frustrated with the poor video performance and thought maybe upgraded to jellybean may improve some speed issues with the tablet. So I ran off did some fast googling and found a forum that posted the nightlies. (Team EOS from this site)
I downloaded the first one (right to the tablet) booted into the root bootloader thing (yea im so noob I don't even know the proper wordage) and installed from that.
Now when it boots it sits at a 4 colored square logo that rotates a pules. each little piece glows (like it's loading) but it just sits there forever. i have waiting 10-15-30-45 minutes nothing.
I was wondering if there was a way I could download a new jellybean file on a SD card, and somehow install over with that?
Could really use the help and need it explained to me like im 2 ..
Really sorry to have to ask guys. Save me!
It's a very well discussed issue here and in the teameos thread.
Did you do a full cache, dalvik, system and factory reset of the device through recovery?
Which recovery are you using? (you probably need a newer one)
If you can still boot in recovery (you should) then wipe cache, dalvik, system, do a factory reset (does not wipe sdcard but you will lose all other data) and finally reflash the rom.
If you can't boot in recovery for whatever reason, you can use easyflasher to go back to stock then start over. Frederuco made an awesome post detailing the entire procedure on transformerforums.
Hi all
I’m a complete noob at this and it seems like I have got myself into a bit of a pickle. Sorry for the massive description but I thought it would make it easier to get a good answer.
My Phone:
Samsung Galaxy S4 GT 19505 LTE
PDA I9505XXUEMK8
CSC I9505BTUEMK5
MODEM I9505XXUEMK8
I successfully rooted my phone using Odin. In Odin I added the "CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5" file to the PDA field then rebooted the device. Then I added the "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-jfltexx" file to the PDA field, rebooted the device and the phone automatically opened in TWRP recovery. In recovery mode I wiped the cache, system and dalvik cache. I then went to install, browsed to the "I9505 Official_Google_Edition_4.3_by_Jamal2367_Finaly_v2.0" file on my SD card, rebooted the device and the Google logo came up on the screen for a few minutes and all was good. Got my new ROM, ran a root checker and all was good.
After some research I decided I wanted to use the Pacman ROM as it seemed to a lot more customisable. Using the same method I went to TWRP recovery wiped the cache, system, and dalvik cache. I then went to Install, browsed for the pacman ROM and the Gapps file on my SD card and everything installed ok, the phone restarted and the pacman logo came up everything was fine. Although I did notice on start up that I got this message.(and have had this error message ever since)
kernel is not seandriod enforcing
set warranty bit : kernel
After using the Pacman ROM for a day I noticed a lot of bugs like my apps would disappear, I couldn't use my banking apps and my phone was generally performing very badly. So I decided to remove the ROM and use CyanogenMod ROM under the recommendation of a friend. So again I pressed home+power+vol up to enter recovery mode but this time it didn’t enter the TWRP recovery it entered the stock recovery mode. This was slightly concerning but I proceeded to use the list menu and cleared the cache etc, browsed the SD card and went to the CyanogenMod 10.2 ROM I previously downloaded. It began to install but in red I got the error message stating that I didn’t have the right permission or signature. The phone rebooted back to the Pacman ROM. I tried the above three times and it still continued to boot back into Pacman ROM sometimes I struggled to even get back into recovery mode.
Soooooo I decided to try and go back to the Google Edition 4.3 ROM and play it safe, using the method from my first paragraph. But when it installed through TWRP I got an error message saying cant find MD5 file. The device rebooted and the Google edition logo came up on the screen but it seems to be locked in a loop. The Google logo wont go away and the phone vibrates once then three times quickly every 10 seconds.
I can still enter both TWRP recover and Download Mode. But I don’t want to mess around with it anymore without getting some advice. Any help would be much appreciated as I really need my phone working.
Thanks again
Aiden
Did you create a backup while on your first run with google edition? If so wipe cache, system, and dalvik and restore to your backup. Should put you back to where you began.

I know I should, but I didnt. Is it still fixable ?
*Update*
Couldnt help myself had to have a tinker around. Managed to get Cyanogenmod 10 working with Gapps. Gonna see how I get on with this. Although still would like to know I have been having all these problems.
Sometimes things just dont go as planned: p I have easily soft bricked my phone around 10 times and always able to fix it. You really should have made a stock backup before flashing anything. I recommend doing it now so you at least have a known working configuation backed up for future use. Trust me backups are your friends!

Hi all, I recently got a second hand Samsung galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) as a gift from a friend. I realized it had a problem that every time I went on certain applications especially settings I'd get a warning saying 'Unfortunately,'said app(settings)' has stopped.' I decided to factory reset my phone using the 'volume up, home button and power key' and I also wiped cache and even rebooted it, yet the problem still persists. Now when I try to turn on my phone and I get onto the set-up page when I try to press next it says 'Unfortunately settings has stopped' and takes me back to the start which I believe is called a boot-loop, I'm not sure though. I'm not to sure how my friend managed to get the phone to this state before he gave it to me and I think it may have either been that he downloaded a faulty application or that he tried to update the phone and then this problem occurred. Now I'm not too experienced when it comes to Custom Roms and things but I heard there is a solution which requires you to press the volume down and power key in order to download a Custom Rom but I'm not sure how I'll download one without the help of my phone(which remains in the boot-loop). And I'm also 100% sure that no Roms have been downloaded on the phone ever.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

serach for flashing stock s4 ROMs via odin ....that should help for sure ....you can flash a factory ROM with this method and think your problem will be solved
Download factory ROM and download custom recovery(like philz touch or twrp), flash custom recovery via Odin...if its flashed successfully, goto recovery mode ( by pressimg buttons..sorry I don't know much about Samsung but I know to flash ROMs) if u entered recovery mode first wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe to install new ROM, then goto the option "install from SD" select the factory ROM package and wait until its finished fully....after flashing reboot your phone...and then ur phone is fully fixed..hope u will get ur problem solved soon....(thanx me if its helped am new to xda and I need some fame for helping more no. Of PPL and solving their problems) thank you....

I think downloading and flashing the rom from a computer would be easier. Just download the correct files from sammobile and flash them via Odin. Also you will need Samsung drivers, you can get them by installing kies or if you search here in the forums im pretty sure you'll find them too.

Hello to everyone, posting this here as I don't have access to ask in the forum post for BlissPop - I.E fresh user
I'm having issues with my "recalled" shield tablet (wifi), I had it flashed to BlissPop successfully previously but when I tried reflashing it the other day I was met with a major roadbump: It just won't load the ROM.
The tablet freezes at the screen following the installing and optimization of each application - basically my screen is stuck at a small wall of text saying the following:
"BlissPop is starting...
Powered by Team Bliss
Starting apps.
Please wait for the optimization process to finish."
And before you ask, yes I have waited long enough (left it on through the night just to be sure - this thing won't load).
My procedure is as follows.
Bootloader is CWM and it is rooted beforehand.
1st off going into recovery mode.
#2 Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache - done
#3 Installed BlissPop via sideload, then gapps_pico afterwards (I've tried wiping cache+dalvik before installing gapps to no help.)
#4 Rebooting from CWM, here I've tried both allowing and denying CWM to "fix" root settings.
I've tried the first ROM I installed (when wifi/lte versions were available) and the newer releases - same problem with both.
After this I am met with this screen that won't budge, anyone got a possible solution to this issue?
Hey I just received my replacement tablet and was going through this process too. I did some digging around and found / remembered that having an external SD card socketed can cause this problem. So I powered my device off, removed the card and then rebooted without major issue.
Hope this helps.
I don't have any SD card in my tablet though, thanks anyways.
Did you format system?
If not then do format system/data/cache

Tried doing a format of system as well as data/cache/dalvik, still getting same result :/
Not sure its still helpful or not...i saw the xda thread regarding to this thread and whoever tried to flash the last zip got stuck at boot. So I'm guessing if you will flash a different one (by this time maybe they upload a new one) maybe you could get rid of it..

When I switched to BlissPop I had to format /data because TWRP was unable to wipe it. TWRP offers that option unter "advanced wipe". Might be the same with CWM.
any help my phone stuck on this boot loop and i dont know what to do now , any fix ? i dont wanna have broken phone i did everything that u guys said nothing works
