Help. Unable to revert back to stock/stock based rom, only CM works. (N910C) - General Questions and Answers

Hi.
Im a noob on XDA but have enjoyed the freedom of custom roms for some time now on my note 4 (N910C). So far it has only been stock based touchwiz roms. A few days ago i decided to give CM13 a go and since then i have been unable to revert back. Every touchwiz rom (stock and custom) i have tried just ends in a bootloop but when i flash CM13 again it boots up just fine.
I have tried flashing numerous android 6.0.1 stock roms through odin, even from different regions but still for the same version. Its always stuck in a bootloop.
Tried flashing stock and then immediately flashing custom stock based rom (both clean install after wiping and trying to dirty flash over stock rom)
I have done all the suggestions of factory resetting, wiping caches and you name it after clean flashes and even tried them with dirty flashes. Whatever i do i cannot get any stock or stock based rom to boot up.
A few months ago i tried out cm12.1 and had no problem going back to a stock based rom, but after CM13 my phone absolutely refuses to boot anything stock or stock based.
I would appreciate any advice and suggestions. Please ask if theres any more info needed of my device or roms i already tried.

You might be having kernel issues. If the stock you're flashing is a flashable zip then it might not include the stock kernel, if it doesn't include the stock kernel then its leaving the custom kernel from CM13. If that's the case it won't work because stock won't work with a CM kernel.
You said you did the wipes when you flashed, did you mean that you did factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache? Or did you mean that you did the advanced wipe options to wipe system partition and data partition before flashing?
If you didn't do the advanced wipe before flashing then it might help if you did them before flashing. Wipe system and wipe data then factory reset then flash ROM then wipe cache and dalvik after flashing then reboot.

I flash stock roms through Odin with the .tar.md5 file.

Usually if it bootloops after flashing with Odin, you boot to stock recovery and factory reset/wipe cache and it should boot after that.
The times that you tried stock and then went back to CM13, are you rooting and reflashing TWRP again so you can flash back to CM13? Or is it leaving custom recovery on the device even after flashing with Odin? If its leaving TWRP on the device then Odin isn't flashing correctly.
Are you flashing the full stock firmware in Odin? Or are you flashing a modified stock .tar?

I have tried all the factory reset/wipe cache suggested on other threads and websites i have found regarding bootloops.
When going back to CM13 after trying methods to get stock back i flash TWRP again as flashing stock through Odin replaces TWRP with stock recovery again and then do a restore of CM13 through TWRP with all my necessary apps on, much easier than installing everything again after each try (a fresh install of CM13 also works fine with no problems). I also tried various versions of Odin just in case it was a problem with the version i used but every time i get the same same results.
I am flashing full pure stock from sammobile.

[Q] 4.3 not rebooting on Verizon Galaxy S 4

So I can't get 4.3 ROMs to reboot. I have tried several different Roms and always the same thing. Mainly Pac. It loads the first time fine, but when I reboot it just hangs on the Galaxy S4 screen. I have updated TWRP to 2.6 and tried wiping cache and dalvik between flashing the ROM and gaaps. And still nothing the only way I can get to do anything after that is to reformat and do a factory reset and the reflash the ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So just in case anyone else runs into this problem, I figured it out myself. I am running the MDK build so the only thing you would change is th rooting process.
1. Reflash Stock using ODIN
2. Reroot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381382
3. Install newest 2.6.3 TWRP
4. Back up Stock
5. Flash 4.3 ROM and 4.3 Gapps
I'm not sure if it was reflashing stock or the newest update to twrp but whichever. It worked.

[Q] XT1032 SystemUI Has Stopped.

Hey,
So over the past couple of days I've been trying to get Lollipop working on my XT1032 with no progress so far.
I've tried flashing various different ROMs from across the forums and keep getting an issue where on startup I am met with non-stop systemui has stopped errors. Seen as how this seems to be the same on all the various ROMs I've tried I can see it's my phone. What's wrong with it? I've tried flashing with the latest TWRP & PhilzTouch recoveries and it's the same story. Any thoughts?
Cheers.
Try a full wipe, data, cache, dalvik and reflash.
If still have problems, flash your stock ROM and reflash your custom ROM, that should work.
Thanks for the response.
Just tried that and hasn't made any difference, the SystemUI error is persistent in both custom roms and the stock rom.

What recovery are you using? Some are buggy and claim to have successfully wiped, but do not. Try Philz CWM Recovery: https://drive.google.com/drive/#fold...kJHb2dXNmo0N2M
Thanks for the responses, repeated the stock reflash process again and it seems to have sorted the issue.
I'll try using Philz recovery instead this time around.

[Q] Got stuck in Bootloop

Hello xda community. I have a problem. I've been using Nexus experience rom(MM) and i've decided to go back to LP. I tried so many LP roms and after a short use(1 hour to 1 day, depends on rom) it gives me a bootloop. I tried 4-5 roms. One of them was my daily driver one month ago. Now I am using stock 5.1 with root and no problem at all. But why a custom rom gives me bootloop All answers appreciated.
Edit: Now i got bootloop on stock 5.1 too!! Please help!
Have you installed xposed framework?
No. The problem encountered after CM. I formatted system, data (not internal storage) but i got bootloops since then.
Have you tried flashing stock vía fastboot?
Nope, but is there any difference between flashing via fastboot or recovery?
well if you flash stock via fastboot, it will also reset some partitions and system files like radio/modem or gps
flashing via recovery just changes the OS and kernel
Than you. And is this procedure needs full wipe?

little help needed

should just flash stock boot img if you want to over ride the kernel wipe the cache as of now none of the kernels use ram disc changes so dirty flashing custom kernel over another works fine for the time being

Is this link
Not sure if flashify works with dual partitions or not but it allows u to back up boot.img
You can always just revert back to stock by downloading the full rom from oneplus, and installing it through official twrp. Usually recommend doing a wipe of everything system included, and then adb side loading the full rom. It will state there is no os installed at the end when attempting to reboot, just continue on and your phone will boot.

Flashing custom rom not working (recovery loop - messy data folder) MiNote10 (tucana)

Hej everyone,
I flashed a custom rom from mi-globe a few months. It was working great. Then I had the not so incredible idea of updating with latest miui eu 12, because the weekly update from the update menu was not working. It kinda worked, but it got too buggy. So I wanted to come back to a xiaomiEU Stable Rom.
It is now that problems begin. When I flashed miui eu 12, I got recovery loop. Lost all my data trying to fix, but I was able to flash the stock rom via the amazing XiaomiADBFastbootTools in my GNU/Linux distro. It worked! But the main issue is can not flash the custom rom again. I download the custom rom in the internal storage, flash the twrp via fastboot, enter recovery, create full backup, wipe to factory reset and flash the custom rom. Everything seems successful, but then I get a recovery loop again and when I try to restore the backup, the data folder is filled with folders and files with random chars in the names. Apparently the data folder becomes read-only for some reason as well. Then I have to flash the stock rom and tried everything again. I have done it at least 5 times now. I have searched a lot for some solution and nothing works
I have tried the OrangeFox recovery and the mi-globe rom, same issue. I really want a custom rom , but I have no idea what to do anymore. If I could at least restore my backed up stock rom, it would help a lot.
Please help me out and sorry I posted in the wrong section.
