[BadaDroid] Omni 4.4 - 09.09.2014 and later (incl. 5.1 Lollypop) hangs on boot screen - General Questions and Answers

I've spent the last two days trying to figure out how to flash Omni 4.4 on my Wave S8500 device, but unfortunately, the system becomes unbootable once I use firmware 09.09.2014 and newer. Assuming that I'm not the only person experiencing this (search for "i tried installing this rom 8 times but every time successfully installed but when choose reboot system reboots but stucks on «samsung wave 2 s8530» showing boot screen" in the comments below this YouTube video), there seems to be a deal-breaking bug in later ROMs that makes the phone stuck at the "Samsung Wave GT-S8500" boot screen with no TWRP recovery accessible. Both Turko CFW 10.2 and Omni - 15.08.2014 are, however, working fine for me.
Here's what settings I use when flashing Omni with Multiloader:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I follow the installation procedure step-by-step with no issues.
And this is what I get after system reboot…forever.
Any help is appreciated!

BUMP. Any tip what else should I try?

Ok, I made a video (about 20 mins long) about me trying to flash Omni 4.4 on my phone. I hope it'll be helpful (and hopefully enough to tell what the hell's going wrong).

Official MIUI7 on the MiPad - Developer ROM 5.10.15

Update: fastbooted the rom and my issues were resolved. Had to root with cwm.
The official release of MIUI7 on the MiPad was today. I flashed it.
to date issues I'm having:
The lockscreen doesn't want to open. I have to open by pulling down the status bar and selecting settings.
I can't get google play to recognize me. I've done everything suggested everywhere.. wiping data, cache, trying to update .apks, rebooting, blah, blah, blah...... won't work.
Can't get it to root...
I can't get the local backup to make a backup, but it did let me restore a backup I had made with an sMIUI rom.
One of the new features is locked apps won't show up in the recent apps screen. Well, not for me. I locked my email and tested it. Still shows up in recent apps. grrrr.
I did flash TWRP without issues.
so anyway, the music interface looks good. Too bad it's all in chinese....
I'm going back to cMiui7 5.8.10.

and no security center or theme manager (just wallpaper), for those wondering... surprise.. surprise... surprise!
If anyone wants to try it, I uploaded the rom to devhost.

I have attached the deskclock.apk file for anyone that's interested. It contains an alarm, stop watch, and timer. Use at your own risk.

No working WiFi (Stock Lollipop still continues to Bootloop)

Okay so since my last thread I decided to try updating my phone again after over a year being stuck on 4.4.4. I ran into the same problems. So I decided to take a shot installing a custom rom with the procedure of:
1) Installing latest firmware 18.6.A.0.182 which bootloops on my phone.
2) Updating the bootloader.
3) Installing the recovery according to the rom (twrp)
4) Wipe System, Data, Cache & Dalvik
5) Install ROM
6) Install open gapps
7) Finish!
So far I have tried:
CyanogenMod 13 6.0.1,
LineageOS 14.1 7.1.1
OmniRom 7.1.1,
They all have the same issues, the WiFi doesn't work (sometimes SIM isnt detected with OMNI) else everything is fine. I was actually surprised how optimized they were. credz to devz

If I turn the WiFi on it instantly goes off on Android 6 and it appears to "load" briefly on Android 7 before turning it off.
The MAC adress for the WiFi is also unusual it displays as "02:00:00:00:00:00"
Since I'm unsure if I'm doing something wrong myself or my phone is faulty I didn't want to report any bugs.
If anyone has any idea how to get my phone back running I would really appreciable it!
Apart from Stock Sony 4.4.4 of course!
Thanks for your time!

Hello there,
Please understand that I am only opening this thread to help activating the Redmi 4 Prime community with more helpful resources about the phone. One of them being this ROM, which of course isn't stable and ready for beta use, but is a good base for us 'markw' owners.
Warning/Notice: This ROM is not made by me. Not really sure who the original author is, this is from 4PDA. This is an unofficial ROM and is a badly ported one. Many things do not work, and I recommend not installing this for everyday use, but just if you're curious or plan to test some things out.
Phone, internet (wifi and lte) works fine most of the time. Calling is as good as LoS13. I think Bluetooth works as well, not sure if I tested that and the IR blaster.
What's NOT working:
Camera (only opens occasionally for me... most of the times the app crashes before the camera can be utilized)
Flashlight (once it worked, but after a reinstallation I can't get it to work again)
Fingerprint sensor.
CPU/GPU optimization. Rom feels good, but open a benchmark and see how much you're missing out!
Guide:
Do a factory reset with TWRP
Flash the zip over
Do not wipe dalvik/cache and do not install gapps yet
Boot, check it out
[*]Remove the chinese bloatware (disable in apps)
Install gapps and don't wipe dalvik/cache
Enjoy the testing

Bliss OS stuck in startup animation

I installed the "Bliss OS v11.4 stable official ..... iso" file on the C: disk without any problem. I installed it with the file "androidx86-Installv26.0003.exe" in the iso file. For minutes when I start BlissOS, I am facing the animation in the photos. It's at least 30 minutes like this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
These photos are also the photos I took from the starting animations stuck in different BlissOS versions. I don't really know what to do as I don't understand much about the linux system.
There is clearly an issue with Bliss OS doing this. V11.10 stable does the same when installed onto a surface book. The live usb boots every time. installed onto a 16GB Ext4 partition it boots first time only, after that it starts to boot and just sits on the Bliss logo.
I have no such issue rebooting Androidx86_64 CM or 9r2 or PheonixOs when installed to the same location.
Unfortunately it seems there is also an issue with the way Androidx86 Pie which I first noticed in Bliss 11.10 deals with games such as War Planet Online being able to launch. This is a permission related issue as on first launch of such games they download additional game files to storage but cannot do so due to a permission issue that seems is not fixable by an end user. I noticed the same issue on Androidx86 9 R2 which I guess Bliss 11.10 is based upon.
OK the Bliss being stuck on animation logo after first boot could be related to SU getting updated on first boot.

[Help Needed] Soft-bricked device

To tell you the short story, I was dumb.
I rooted my oneplus 8 using magisk, but the WiFi didn't work. I had no idea how to unroot a oneplus 8 so I just used msmdownloadtool for my device and got an error "param preload failed". My device is now broken.
What I have tried.
Flashing all files and partitions. (I get an error saying something along the lines of system partition not found, i will attach image below).
msmtool in usb 3 and 2 on Ryzen and intel (i get param preload failed error every time).
What I want to try.
Unlock critical flashing and try flashing all files and partitions again (scared of har bricking device).
What happens when I boot.
First thing I've noticed is boot time has been greatly increased ever since rooting. Without a system rom I boot to a black screen but the strange thing is, that is i hold down power down i still get a stock android power off and reboot popup.
My device:IN2013 European oneplus 8 (was on oos 11)

Please, any help is greatly appreciated. I have only had this phone for a month and a half. Also if you do answer make it very clear as I am fairly new to all this.
I would download the fastboot ROM from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fastbootroms/files/OnePlus 8/11.0.0-EUROPE-OnePlus8Oxygen_15.E.30_OTA_0300_all_2009301818_e9aef8a82-FASTBOOT.zip/download
And just start again. Don't forget to wipe internal before you flash.
Also, make sure you are in fastbootd and not fastboot.
