So i decided one day to root my device i happened to do it with CWM i am currently running CWM 6.0.3.2 that turned out fine so i install a couple of roms like changing the animation of the boot screen ( running mario and i changed the font and updated to 4.3 which it was normally 4.2 i tried 4.4 but it wouldnt install so i left it then i decided to upgrade to taktik my device cwm wouldnt read my sd so i formatted it ( i dont care about the app data or anything just pictures and music so i backed it up to my computer )
heres when it started acting funny i did what was told to install taktik on a forum but my device still had the data on it after i rebooted (i thought that was abnormal but now i know it was supposed to do that i think because it still stays after i factory reset) so i go into cwm and i format all the data,the system, sd card, external sd, cache and everything else under mounts and storage i reboot and now im here
i can install a certain taktik rom and certain taktik gapps and it will boot up but it has bugs or glitches like a MF and it wasnt doing that when i had first installed taktik
Will thank all those who help bring my device back to normal

I noticed this is an old threat. Many times it is best to install custom roms, boot into android, then go back into recovery and install gapps. Some roms need to be set up once before they can accept the gapps.
Not sure if that was your issue, but other might find it helpful. It solved a lot of my problems.
If you still have an issue write back with what you have tried.

Restored the Tablet TF101 back to stock rooted and everything worked. Installed CWM Did factory reset system wipes etc. Tried to install 3 different CM 10 all failed bad installation. Tried to installed the newest TWRP same thing I can't seem to install any rom from the external or internal just keeps saying bad?
What errors did TWRP tell you?
For TWRP why not download the GOO app from the playstore and find the option in the menu to allow it to install the open recovery script for you?
Had similar issues with my S4 with a particular rom but youve tried a few so i doubt its down to the download sites.
You may have to format the emmc and see how that goes as a last resort. (just make sure you have a rom placed on a micro sd as it will completely wipe the TF again but still keep your recovery)
I tried following some guide online to get my S3 rooted and running stock Jelly Bean and all was going so well...Casual Root worked like a charm, cyanogen all set. But when I went to install the ROM and Gapps in recovery it kept getting hung up. I assumed this was due to encryption on the device from my work email, so I went back to factory andremoved the account and decrypted the device.
Then it was back to recovery to flash the ROM and Gapps. All seemed to go well,the ROM installed fine, Gapps installed fine, but reboot got stuck at the cyanagenmod loop. I had mad a backup of the original ROM, but I must have saved it to the internal SD card by accident before i factory wiped. I thought my best bet would be to load the Gapps and ROM onto my external SD and flash from there, but I cant get it to mount.
The one good thing that I can do is get to the Odin boot screen. Anyone think there's a chance I can get Odin to flash something that will boot? And does anyone have suggestions of what to flash?
I started to install pacrom on my verizon galaxy s4 and am havings troubles. I'll start from the beginning.
I rooted the phone via Towelroot app and checked it with rootchecker.
Then i downloaded the following.
downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS4/SCH-i545/roms/PACMan/pac_jfltevzw-nightly-20130913.zip
downloadandroidrom.com/file/gapps/PA/pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130610-signed.zip
androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001603023 this is safestrap for "FOR USERS OF MJ7/MK2" IDK the difference between that and ME7/MI1 but i used MJ7/MK2
From here I opened up the safestrap app and installed the recovery and loaded it up. I left it on the stock rom slot while i continued to wipe everything and install the rom and GAPPS. This was a mistake, however, because i it bootlooped. I tried wiping and installing many different ways and still ended up with a bootloop. I realized in needed to use a rom slot and set that up. I wiped all the necessary things and installed the rom and GAPPS. Still it bootlooped. I have even tried to install without GAPPS with no avail. I forgot to make a backup of the stock and the stock slot just bootloops the pacrom boot screen. I cant find a way to add filed from my computer because whenever i connect it during the boot screen it shows up as a disc drive on my computer. Normally i would choose USB settings and make it where i can transefer data files, but i cant do this. I really need some help with this as I have done all I know to do. The downloads may be the problem, but from what i understand they are the correct ones. Thanks
Download this rom, move it to your phone and flash with recovery.
If you can't get the file on the phone I will help you out.
Hi all,
I have a P5110 tab 2.
I rooted and installed CM 10 on this device some time ago, and it's been working fine for many months.
Recently, it's started rebooting itself from the OS - i.e not at boot logo etc - it actually gets into the OS, lets you do a few things for a few seconds, then thows you out and reboots.
This device has an older version of CWM on.
I can boot into CWM Recovery, have tried wiping dalvic, cache, - everything - but still the reboots.
Have tried to load twp from zip via CWM, it says installed ok. I reboot, go back into recovery, and its still this old version of CWM.
With this being an older version of CWM, it wont let me install the later versions of CWM.
Im thinking of reflashing the stock rom (4.x.x afair), to hopefully stop the reboots, so I can get into the OS and flash the later version of TWRP, so I can then flash a later version of CM.
All a PITA!
Question is - why does the p5110 keep rebooting, out of the OS?
I read somewhere that this could be a hardware issue - chip over heating or something.
Is this device worth bothering with?
Second question - why wont CWM let me install TWRP (from Zip in external SD, .img is in the zip) - even though it says it has installed it?
Any thoughts or assistance greatly appreciated!
Could this be the "dreaded emmc chip" issue?
If this was indeed the issue - would it boot to the OS at all?
I'm assuming not, and therefore this isnt the issue - can someone confirm?

Maybe it is. You said you tried to flash the later versions of cwm but it didn't work yes? I think one of the symptoms is that you can't flash anything on the device because it became read-only. I may be wrong though so kindly check
EDIT: Maybe do a factory reset? If everything is still there after the wipe, 99% your emmc got read-only.
Hello guys.
Last time I rooted and installed a Custom ROM was like 7-8 years ago with CM5 or so. So I'm not really up to date.
On my K1 tablet, I wanted to install the CarbonROM. Tablet runs Nougat.
The Root was successful, used fastboot for TWRP recovery. (Version 3.1.1 and 3.0.2, tried both). As in many tutorials described I wiped data/cache before installing. Installed CarbonROM (latest version) + gapps micro for 7.1 then wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted.
System then was stuck in bootloop forever, waited about 20mins but nothing happend.
Managed to backup by hard-reboot into recovery/adb and flash twrp again. Tried this time with twrp version 3.0.2, same issue.
I know about the presence of "blob", whatever it is. But since a few guides use it, and few dont, I tried with once with it but managed to land in bootloop again.
Tried with CWM but it didnt even recognize my SD card, or confused the internal storage as sd card. Moved the CarbonROM to the internal storage then and tried to install it. After boot image there was an android with a red "!" and "no command". Vol up + pwr -> recovery. rebooted. Still had the firmware from before, nothing happend at all.
I don't know anymore what to do to get CarbonROM installed and actually started.
Anybody got ideas or a actually a solution?
Greetings
Try a different ROM, or try another gapps (I've often had to mess with different gapps on AOSP ROMs on previous devices).
As for just getting the phone working again, you should have made a TWRP backup before trying to flash a custom ROM. Then you could have just restored the backup.
