Last night I was out and my battery drained and phone shut off. When I got to the car and put it to charge the phone got stuck in the loading screen for a long time. I power cycled and nothing. I booted up to TWRP and wiped cache and the phone booted and got to the updating apps part and at the end it got stuck in the starting app part and never finished booting.
I'm on stock 4.4.2 and rooted. I was using faux's mainline kernel and had been running the latest version for a few days already.
I've tried a few things to try to get it working. I flashed the stock kernel back again and that didn't work. I also flashed the stock system image but nothing. I've been searching al morning for a fix. If possible, I would like to fix it without having to lose all my data.
Here is a logcat as well. http://pastebin.com/UYn9Z3Ja
This might sound too simple, but have you tried holding the power button for 30 seconds and letting it boot
Sent from my Nexus 5
Yea. I've power cycled it a few times and just let it sit there for long periods of time to see if it boots and it doesn't go past the boot animation. Only time it goes past it is when I wipe cache and after that it get stuck on starting apps.
I'm afraid your going to have to factory reset it. This is kind of a pita, but in recovery adb pull your /sdcard to your pc. Then afterwards adb push it back. That'll save your data. You'll probably have to flash the factory image and then reinstall twrp too.

I was afraid that it may come to that. In regards to my data. I made a TWRP backup earlier. Can I restore any of it after I do the factory reset?,

Sure but only users apps and data, no system apps.

You can but maybe the cause of the ''not booting issue'' will be in that already

Pulling and pushing the sd card will take along time. Probably 30 minutes each way or longer depending on how much stuff you have on it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
Oh that I know. Part of the reason why I was avoiding the full wipe. I have the about 24gigs to pull/push

Make sure to wipe dalvik cache and battery stats too.
If that doesn't work. Make sure to check your MD5 sums and do a fresh install.

Format system.. And there is 1.1 just released too
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
wipe dalvik, cache/system, factory reset, format /system, wipe battery
i use that latest 6275 radio
the initial bootup where it keeps showing the droid pop up will do that for awhile. i was starting to think "god why!!!... whats wrong?!" and then it loaded.
Try a0sp 1.1.1
i went to 1.1 and same problem. i went to run quadrent and it locks every time. ill try 1.1.1, im guessing he fixed the market problem
Hmm interesting, did you once you installed it (after wiping) let it sit for 10 min before rebooting it?
while still in clockwork recovery, wait 10 min? im not kne to rooting just the whole rom/kernel part.

Nope in clockwork wipe, do a factory reset, wipe cache, then do dalvik and system too.
After that, flash your ROM and reboot once complete. While it is rebooting go find something to do. Basically, leave it alone for a few minutes (2-5 is usually sufficient). That allows the kernel/rom to settle.
For extra credit, before wiping, go ahead and use something like titanium backup to backup your apps. The you can restore your apps (not the system data though). Thats how I usually do it.

I did all that a few times now and nothing doing....it's starting to make me mad so I'll just flash back to CM7 and keep it that way.
Could just be a bad download...
Hi. I was toolin' along doing real well on CleanRom 4.5 for several days. Starting yesterday, the phone would randomly reboot itself to the HTC screen. I figured I had a bad app or something. Today, I went to open an app (Draw Something) and the phone froze for a bit. Then it rebooted, and now I cant get it booted back up. I usually never make it past the HTC screen. Got into recovery once but it rebooted in the middle of clearing the cache.
Any advice?
Welp, just made it through cache and dalvik and rebooted in the middle of factory reset. I wonder if I'm doing more harm than good.
Got it recovered and wiped fully, but it still keeps rebooting. Starting to feel like a hardware issue.

Thank you for the reply. I have the battery recharging in recovery right now (which I am thrilled it is doing, lol). What does it do when you wipe /system? Clear off the OS? Would you move a new ROM over to SD card first?

So when u go into wipe menu in twrp it will show options : cache dalvic cache and external never press external unless u know what you're doing!
So do u have any Rom backups if so try restoring that and if not dl like clean Rom final version 5 and mount it sd in recovery and move that over and for the sake of itright now when your gunna install a new Rom in the wipe menu just choose factory reset ...your using twrp recovery right?

Thank you. I wiped everything, including /system and put CleanROm final 5 on it. Everything looked beautiful but I got to the setup screens and rebooted. I'm back in recovery and charging now. Oddly, it has stopped rebooting from recovery. The only other thing I can think of is a bad sim card? Can that make a phone go crazy?

Removed the SIM card and it froze while booting, with lots of graphical tearing. *sigh*

Keep that simmy in there..now what's your battery ....when does it reboot ...when trying to get into aroma installer?
---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------
Worst case scenario you can relock the bootloader and run an RUU. But I think u can get out of this without having to do that
I replaced the SIM. Battery at 90% now, was 44% when I started. Fortunately, it is charging from TWRP.
It reboots all over the place - from fastboot, from recovery, from the boot.img, from the lock screen. I made it all the way to Android setup at one point and it rebooted. It most often just gets to the HTC screen and hangs - it reboots the least from recovery, just once in a great while.

Hold down your power button until your screen turns black and than see if it's still rebooting
Still no go. Thank you for your help - I've got it to 98% battery, powered it down, and I'm going to the bar, hah hah.
try flashing CM10 instead of a Sense rom. Aroma can cause freezes and reboots on its own. I would also be scared to run the RUU also since your phone freezes randomly. whats was your stock version?
It doesn't sound like you do, but if you installed a custom kernel that is overclocked then it could be that your device can't handle the higher CPU frequency. CleanROM 5 final I don't think has a custom kernel though. It could also be a bad CPU or memory hardware.

I told him to flash a rom that doesn't use aroma. He is getting freezes all the time. TWRP used to freeze up on me all the time after the 2.20 ruu until twrp 2.2.2.0 was released. Phone still has trouble getting into recovery from the bootloader though. He should install CM10 or codefirex without using a custom kernel. Maybe run "fastboot erase cache" in bootloader then wipe cache,dalvik,factory reset,system,external in recovery then flash CM10 or codefirex and gapps. keep it plain until you find issues you can attribute to the rom or to the phone. i have had very few issues with latest builds of jb aosp roms besides some battery stuff.
Well, although I had fully charged it and then powered down, now that I am ready to work on it this AM, it wont start at all. I'm thinking she's gone, captain.
Thank you everyone for the replies.
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm currently on Beans' Build five (love it of course). About an hour ago, I went to switch out batteries, and when I turned my S3 back on, I got the normal Pink Samsung stuff exclusive to Beans' rom, then, instead of going to the boot animation of falling jars of Jelly Beans, the screen turns completely black, and vibrates very softly and quickly every seven seconds. I can boot into Clockwork Recovery. I tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, factory reset (3 times), unsuccessful in each attempt. I have no idea what to try next, and was hoping to avoid the whole replacement route. Also, not sure if this is relevant or not, but prior to my latest boot, I installed some automatic Google Wallet Installer app, ran it, and didn't get past the emulator page of the process. I assume it failed. Wasn't too sure if that could have tweaked something with the system, or if it was just a coincidence. Any and all help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Matt
You should reflash your ROM or restore a backup.

That was my initial plan, until I navigated to my extSD and immediately remembered that I had just deleted my backups AND the actual rom itself. So I had to download it on the world's SLOWEST computer in the history of mankind. Anyways, after flashing it, I read your response literally at the exact same time as the jars of JBs began to fall. Thankfully, because I didn't want to lose the 32gigs of internal memory worth of music/videos. Thank you for your quick response, you were right.
Matt
Glad you got it! Bet you keep a backup at all time now.

So I created a backup with TWRP and now am trying to restore from said back up. It's been running for nearly an hour and its still on restoring data. Just wondering if this is normal. The progress bar is still spinning, but hasn't made any progress really since it started on the data partition. Just wondering what I should do in this kind of case.
Edit: Coming up on two hours, I'm scared to let my phone die. Really not sure what to do with it tho at this point.

If you still want to continue the restore, you can always plug it in the charger..... It'll charge while in recovery. One of the perks when using TWRP.

I wouldn't recommend letting it die... Just in case, you don't want to end up with a bigger problem.
I would power off the device before letting it die and reboot to recovery and try restoring the backup again.
If it still doesn't restore your backup, you could try re-flashing TWRP again and then try restoring the backup.
Also did you make your backup with an older version of TWRP and then updated to a newer version? If so reflash the version of TWRP you used to make the backup with and then restore your backup.
I was messing around with CM and I went into twrp to restore a backup and now my phone is locked. Can anyone point me where to go with this?
If you encrypted your device they only solution to decrypt is to factory reset.

You need to search around here. This is a documented issue with aosp ROMs. Someone put out a command line fix (i think it's in the noon-carrier-specific m8 forum) or you can use the ruu files found in this forum.

I have had this twice now, i fixed it by formatting data in twrp then factory resetting and restoring a backup from my sd. I lost all my internal storage.
factory reset dont work either sorry were both S.O.L. unless u have insurance then just "loose ur phone"
I'm back guys!!!!! I ruu'ed in fastboot. Weird thing was when my phone booted back up it still had supersu!!!!!! That made me happy. I then flashed twrp through flashify and restored a back up I made before this whole fiasco. Thanks again for everything!!!!
So you returned your phone to Verizon over this? If it turns on you can fix it.

So you sent in a phone that you broke and that can be fixed but are too lazy to research? And this is why companies lock down bootloaders. If you cant do basic searching, then dont root your phone.
