Phone bootlooping if i update to CM12, working with CM11S and ColorOS - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, i've got my OPO when CM12 still wasn't a thing, and it always did his job wonderfully, i've updated to CM12 when it first came out, then updated it every time a new stable version was out, YNG1TAS2I3 version included (with root access and TWRP). A few days ago, while i was listening to some music with Google Play Music, the phone started to reboot itself for no apparent reason, and after around 10 reboots with random timings, i found out there was a problem with google play services, so i blocked them with Titanium Backup, deleted updates, updated them again, reactivated, and everything went fine.
Yesterday, my phone once again rebooted by itself, but every time it was rebooting, while showing the boot logo, it rebooted again without actually loading android. I first tried to wipe cache, then dalvik cache, then data and system partitions, factory reset, but it kept rebooting no matter what, until i tried to flash CM11S on it. After a few tries and total wipes, CM11S was running with no reboots, and it worked flawlessly, no root, no custom recovery, everything stock flashed from official fastboot images zip.
After that, i tried to update via OTA to the more recent versions of CM11S, no problems so far, but as soon as i updated to CM12 via OTA once again, the phone started to reboot itself after the update, it says "Upgrading Android" like when you wipe the dalvik-cache, and then it freezes for a second, then reboots.
Things i've tried so far:
full wipe and factory reset from TWRP
erase and flash again all partitions
erase and flash again persist partition
flash colorOS and then flash CM12
After flashing the persist partition it managed to work for a minute on CM12, but then it started rebooting itself again, and i've managed to save the last part of logat log , but i'm not sure if it's worth anything to find out the problem! (i can't post it on forum because of the new user link restriction, but if you want to have a look at it, let me know)
So, basically, my phone works only on android 4.x and not on 5.x, I would think some app on it can make it crash, but even after a full wipe it still behaves like this, what could be the reason and how can i try to fix it? thanks in advice!

I recommend you to flash fastboot images of CMOS12 without skipping any file

Help: CM 12.1 Nexus 5 stuck in bootloop and freezes on TWRP load screen

I've got quite a peculiar problem with my Nexus 5.
Last night, I left my phone on charge. It was working normally and the software was functional etc. However, once I woke up, the phone was constantly restarting itself, and wouldn't load past the boot animation. I tried to load up fastboot to enter the TWRP recovery, however, the phone froze on the load screen. I should also add that my custom boot animation was replaced by the CyanogenMod mascot.
This problem has never occurred before, and I really haven't got a clue how to fix it. I tried to use WugFresh's NRT to flash a factory image of Android 6, however, the command terminal indicated that each process had failed. This did not restore the phone to its original condition.
I should also point out that I have been running a CM 12.1 nightly, which has been very stable and I have been using this nightly, without major problems (bar the infrequent system UI crashes) for a couple of months. It is obviously rooted and I have a Nandroid backup, which I can't access for aforementioned reasons.
Please could you help me with resurrecting my phone? I would be happy to clarify and elaborate upon any point of information.
Kind regards,
Sami
Have you tried manually wiping cache in fastboot or manually flashing a stock ROM in fastboot mode?

I actually have tried to flash stock Android ROMs, from KitKat to Marshmallow, however, this didn't work as there was a 'write failure' and CyanogenMod wasn't removed. I did erase the cache, but to no luck.
Sounds like the memory module on the phone is defective. I had a Nexus 5 that would constantly re-lock the bootloader after I reboot. I had another N5 where the bootloader remains unlocked and a full wipe in recovery would finish in about 3 seconds which is far too short.
I could only solve both problems by replacing the motherboard.

Issues flashing CM13. Phone keeps rebooting once it gets to CM splash screen

Ok... slightly frustrated here.
Basic issue: Have flashed CM13 (Nightly 5.17.16) along with the latest Gapps. Upon reboot my phone will go to the Cyanagenmod splash screen, appear to load for several seconds, and then restart. It keeps doing this for at least 10 minutes until I turn it off. I have re-flashed a couple times after reloading the backup but no change.
Process I used: First of all my phone already has Android 6.0.1 firmware installed (not sure if that's an issue). I have TWRP setup as recovery and rooted with su 2.52 (and yes I verified the root prior to flashing). To flash I boot into recovery (obviously), factory reset, install cm13, clear dalvik, and repeat process with gapps. I've done this before with older CM's successfully but for some reason I can't get past the CM splash screen.
Any assistance is appreciated. If I have made a completely stupid error in my process or this exact issue is covered in another thread don't hesitate to point that out!!
Thank you in advance.
i was getting the same thing on my 1st flash into 13 from moar rom 7.0 but did some reseach and fixed it by wiping the dalvik and cache before the flash and then installed cm13 and then the gapps 6.0 stock all in twrp and fyi you dont need super su just unlock the developer mode and go to the bottom and turn on root access it made me crash my system after i installed new supersu hope these helps
you dont want to be on a MM baseband. Flash a LP tar.md5 in odin and reinstall CM13

You need to be on 5.0 Lollipop. Custom recovery. Rooted. Then flash the ROM after you Wipe in Twrp

Phone erased itself (kind of) after reboot

This is quite unusual. Let me first say the device has been running completely stock (latest COS, cyanogen recovery, non-rooted) for the past year or so.
This is how it happened, I set up my alarms at night and went to bed, but then I remembered the device was running for 8 days straight and becoming somewhat sluggish so I decided to reboot it.
I pressed the power button, selected reboot, and pressed ok. As it was restarting, I went to sleep and never looked at the device.
The next day: launcher has been reset to trebuchet (from gplay launcher). ALL my apps were gone. All google apps and services were gone.
Only a handful of system apps remain. As if I've installed a cyanogenmod based rom without flashing gapps.
Dialer and SMS apps are there, but contacts are gone. My SMS messages show but the app force closes if I try to open any message.
Gallery app does show all my pictures so not everything seems to have gone.
Using the cyanogen file manager app, I can see that all my files are still there.
Any idea what's going on?
The only thing I can think of doing right now is factory reset using fastboot.

Is your bootloader unlocked?

Yes. It was the first thing I did when I got the device back in 2014.

Fastboot method is a bit tricky if you don't flash userdata image (wipes internal storage). You'd have to turn off phone after fastboot flashing everything except userdata and then do a factory reset in recovery.
If you decide to flash TWRP it will just require flashing latest TWRP 3.0.2-0, download the version of CM you were on and wiping (system, data, dalkvik & cache) and then flashing the signed flashable zip.
You can find fastboot and flashable zips in this thread

I just fastboot flashed everything including the userdata image. It was the only way that fixed the issue.
Guess I have to install all those apps again..
I think u accidentally went in to geust mode( it a possibility) . Check it!
Return to owner mode again.

Random continuous reboots on Unstable OP6 - HELP!!!

Hi everyone,
I'd really like some help here.
I have an OP6, 8gb/256GB.
My OP6 suddenly started crashing and rebooting randomly after the update to 10.3.1. It seemed fine before. I did a full factory reset and the problem was not resolved.
It is especially bad when i turn on the lockscreen. So i turned it off and did not turn it on again.
The apps that would crash were random including oneplus launcher, google playstore, and other google apps. the issue remains when I do the factory reset and do not install apps. It is a bit more stable when I do not login to a google account. Even the basic set up leads to multiple crashes and reboots.
The problem continues after i have tried all the steps below.
1) msm downloader to downgrade to OOS9. Worked better, with less frequent reboots, but problem continued.
2) I did a remote session with Oneplus, they installed OOS9. After the install, it restarted, got to the start screen and then rebooted. I was able to complete basic set up. but Problem continued with other apps even though I installed them one after the other and did not enter my google account credentials.
3) did another factory reset and upgraded to 10.3.2. appeared stable but restart was also off as it would reboot every 2 steps in the process. Problem continued
4) I unlocked bootloader, rooted the phone and tried a few roms. With OOS 9 fFastboot, all roms failed to start and put the phone in crashdump mode. I installed the roms using instructions on each rom page. basically, flash the oos, twice, flash twrp, go to recovery, flash rom, flash twrp, go to recovery, flash gapps, flash twrp and then reboot system. When installation failed or rom did not work properly, i would reinstall the fastboot file and then start over.
5) I installed the fastboot 10.3.2 on both slots (tested by booting it from a and then from b). I used twrp 3...18. and flashed pixel rom, bliss rom, lineage os, illusion rom. Lineage and bliss were most stable with little rebooting but the problem still occurs.
6) As of now, I upgraded to the 10.3.2 OOS using the fastboot file. I flashed it twice for good measure. I was able to install my apps and stuff using google setup. But phone is flickering randomly and problem has not been resolved.
I'd appreciate any help to get this good looking phone back to work!
Ur problem is you don't want to format data when switching ROMs (at least not all ROMs) it's safer to just wipe data instead.
Flash OOS
Flash TWRP
Reboot recovery
Flash OOS
Flash TWRP
Reboot system
Complete initial setup
Reboot to recovery
Wipe (not format) data
Flash custom ROM (start here for dirty flashing ROM update)
Flash TWRP
Reboot recovery
Flash custom ROM
Flash TWRP
Reboot recovery
Flash Magisk
Reboot system
