[Q] Phone stuck "Optimizing apps" after upgrading rom

Long time visitor, first time poster.
Upgraded rom today when I found of there was an official 4.3 upgrade for the Verizon GS3. Looked around and found this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600305 Before that, I was on the last official stock, flashed deodexed rom.
Installed rom zip via CWM, rebooted. After loading screen, it starts upgrading apps. It got stuck on 82 of 601. After 15 minutes, I booted into recovery and wiped cache (failed to do this during initial install, it never was a problem before). Reboot, gets stuck on 93 of 465. Hard reboot, total number keeps going down, but keeps sticking.
After several hard reboots (pulling the battery), I got it down to 1 of 1, but it won't go any further. It's been about an hour.
What do I do next?
While waiting for ideas, I'll hard reset, boot into recovery, wipe cache again, and see what happens.
Edit: Wiped cache partition from CWM, rebooted, still stuck at 1 of 1.

I believe you may need to use ODIN to manualy re-flash the 4.3 update. NOTE: This will lock your bootloader, but seeing as how you have already upgraded it already is.

Do I specifically need to find a rom that is Odin flashable, or should I try another zipped package flashed through recovery?

Don't use Odin to flash the official tar file, you'll lock your bootloader and you'll be stuck.
Wiping dalvik cache should work, but if it doesn't then do this.
In recovery factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, then format internal sd card (this will erase everything on your phone). Then reflash the rom again.

I wanted to try something else before formatting the card and having to deal with that, so I downloaded the zipped rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591895
From CWM I wiped cache (again), wiped dalvik (again), and installed rom. On reboot, went through app optimization without any problems.
I'm not sure what the problem was, but I fixed it by using a different rom.
Thank you for the help.

Problem installing Android KitKat (either Omnirom or Cyanogenmod)

Hi!
I'm experiencing an annoying problem while updating my XOOM (MZ605) with the latest KitKat ROM.
I followed the instructions to repartition my device, and I tried using both Omnirom and Cyanogenmod roms, but I get the same error everytime.
In the step of wiping everything (but the SD card), I get a couple of messages saying that it was unable to mount cache to E: drive. TWRP recovery system says that the wipe process failed. Anyway, I went further in the steps, and I was able to flash the room and the gapps (it passes the BigPart partition check), but when I boot into system, my xoom stays stuck at the splash screen; it is not booting.
I tried both Omnirom and Cyanogenmod, and I get stuck in the same place. I thought I messed some part, so undone the BigPart, installed stock rom from motorola, and started over. But got the same problem.
I would liek to know if anyone know whats going on with the partiitoning, and if I can get rid of the mounting errors.
Thank you!

In your process of wiping...did you try to wipe just the cache by itself. When I got that error message i would go back to the main menu in recovery and just wipe the cache (or whatever giving me an error message) by itself.

Same problem here

Same problem here... I can't properly do some of the advanced wipes in the process of trying to install omni.
I did as you suggested and tried wiping them individually but to no success.
I am definitely not as fluent in this stuff as a lot of you on here are, but I am competent/confident enough to follow good instructions.
Somebody help please!

Cant install KitKat Roms
I am having the same issue and have done the same thing. Tried installing both CM and OMNI with no success. the recovery is telling me the came thing that it cannot mount E:\ 'cache' and other files i need to wipe.
Some one please help.

i was wondering...
i was wondering if the fact that i used to have a custom rom and then reverted back to stock (relocked the bootloader and unrooted successfully) last year before i attempted the omni install could be a factor?

But it worked before

I'm getting the same "can't mount cache" error when converting to Big Part - I had previously been running several Big Part roms, and had no problem with the conversion at that time - I then reverted back to stock (using VZW OTA's) for awhile, but want to give the Big Part roms another shot - I've tried several methods of reverting to stock, then coming back to install a 10.1 ROM, which is successful, but when I flash the Big Part TWRP and try the conversion, I get the cache mount error every time - I can revert to the "normal" TWRP, reformat, and re-install non-big part roms without a problem - help us Obi Wan! WTF?

I was getting the same thing as you guys. Stuck on splash screen. What I did to fix mine was under TWRP go to wipe, did factory reset wipe, then data wipe. Then mine worked for me. Takes about 3-5 minutes to boot on 1st start after wiping. Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention click the format data tab under wipe and type yes.

I just had this same experience. I think the directions are somehow missing a step or we're misreading it.

A day not spent well
I am having the same issue all of you guys are having. I had 10.1 stingray (4.2.2) running well and thought it was time to try Kit Kat. Both the ROMs wind up the same way, a loooong running splash screen (over an hour before I manually rebooted). Over and over no mater how many ways I tried to wipe the XOOM I kept getting the Can't mount the cache message. I was able to revert back to 10.1 but I can't figure why others can make the install and we cannot. I have asked others on the forum but no one can answer the question?
Anyone? Thanks! Paddy

I was finally able to figure this out last night. I was looking at my cache and data formats and both were formatted as f2fs. I believe it's under wipe in the latest TWRP (2.7.1.0), there's an option on the left that shows you the format type of your drives. On non BigPart TWRP I changed the cache and data to ext4. Rebooted back into recovery, and followed the guide posted here to apply BigPart to my Xoom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506997 :: Then I was able to load Omni BigPart edition with no issues at all. I'd be happy to give more details if anyone wants. I'm in the office now, otherwise I'd post some snap shots. I'll update this when I get home.

has anyone recovered from the "unable to mount cache" error? I have followed all the information in this thread, checked out the relevant links all to no avail.
The only additional data I can provide is that when I go into the wipe menu (TWRP 2.7.1) / advanced / select cache / and "repair or change" I have all 0's for the cache size MBs. Repairing the cache or changing file system claims to be successful, but it's always 0 MBs. For grins I tried all of the above with TWRP 2.6.3 and had no better results.
Thanks in advance.

Tab 2 10.1 restart constantly

My "Galaxy Tab 2 P5100" constantly restarts. Has the stock ROM with root and cwm 6.0.1.
Only reboot if the tablet is in android system or power off.
In the recovery dont restart.
This is the problem:
If i make a factory reset, when the tablet restart, this fails.
In the CWM, wipe data/factory reset: data wipe complete successfuly. But when the tablet restart, the data dont wiped.
If i delete my pictures or unistall apps, when restart, the deleted pictures or apps are there again.
I flash TWRP or philz recovery whit odin: succesfully flashed, when restart cwm 6.0.1 is still there.
In the cwm i flash another custom rom: successfully flashed. When restart, nothing flashed, the tablet still in the stock original rom.
Odin back to stock fails at system write.

Something is really wrong

Maybe we must call someone by spamming other threads

I have the same problem :crying:
when in recovery mode, it says something like
"did not match sized '/system/csc/common/system/csc/....."
about wallpaper thing, with red font.
already wipe chace also factory reset, but after reboot, the internal memory still the same. the pictures, the apps.
flash via odin stuck at nand write, then failed.
I can enter the homescreen, but just for 5-7 seconds, then it will restart. then do the same cycles.
How to solve this? is this a hardware problem?
someone said about emmc bricked, he replace the mainboar with the new 1. its too expensive for me, especially for now, this tab no longer up to date compare to newest devices nowadays.
sorry for my english, my brain also got some brick :silly:

Download your 4.4.2 firmware here
Make sure you have a good cable and the latest odin.

Do not panic. Is your phone able to boot into recovery? If so then there is hope.. Let me know and I might be able to help you out.
If you're in bootloop after cm12.. Try clearing the 'cache' and 'Dalvik cache' from recovery and try rebooting. .
