Hi
I got a jiayu s3 advance and it has been working quite allright. Installed a new rom and was working just fine until now when it just gets stuck at logo (launch screen). Anyways, I entered recovery and wiped all cache etc, it didnt work. I really do not want to factory reset and lose all the data unless I have too. Is there anything else I can try?
I am also thinking about getting a new rom. I see there are a lot of version but really dont know the big difference between Miu, CM, official, cyanogen, also some google pixel mod official.

Hi all, first time poster! I was going to post in the development section (CM10 releases) but since I'm a new user, I came here
I just had a few questions about the 8/25 nightly and flashing new ones in general.
The first time, I was on stock (rooted, unlocked), went to CWR, flashed both nightly & gapps without doing a fact reset.
Didn't exactly put me in a bootloop, but it would go to a nexus 7 bootscreen (which I had installed myself, I think), and it would continue forever without visually appearing to loop to boot animation. So maybe it was a bootloop, but the animation just seemed to continue smoothly without any visual glitches...forever. If that made sense. Since it smoothly loops in the first place, I thought a bootloop might make the loop irregular etc. OKAY MOVING ON.
I got back into recovery mode, did a factory reset, wiped the cache partition, flashed everything, then booted it up...and it worked (thank god, no $600 brick)! But for some reason it showed the CM9 boot animation for some reason. Is this what's supposed to happen?
Also, when I flash new nightlies, will I have to factory reset every time? Is there anything else a noob might have to know about CM10, flashing, etc that isn't immediately obvious?
Thanks a lot for your time (fantastic noob video, by the way, and I apologize for my lack of brevity but I try to make up for it with sincerity in thanks)! Any help is greatly appreciated!
It still has the cm9 boot animation(doesnt bother me) it will get updated soon for the cm10 bootanimation. I think you can flash the cm10 bootanimation. You don't have to factory reset every nightly but you mightrun into problems if you dont. for sure wipe dalvik and cache every nightly.For now i would factory reset every nightly because they are still changing alot of things.
Gotcha! Thanks, yeah at first I just went WTF because I thought I had flashed the wrong ROM ^^;;
Hope I'm able to find a stable version then so I can at least get set up and back up my apps etc before having to fact reset for the next nightly haha.
Another issue I was having on stock TW was that for some reason installing third-party apps would be impossible--I could click on cancel but not on install when the package installer screen came up. Flashing CM10 actually fixed this
Hi,
I recently have flashed some new roms on my phone. So heres what happened... I had been using MIUI for months now for my NxS4g but the MIUI rom was just getting too laggy for me for daily use. So then I flashed Factory Rom. Worked good for a while then it started this rebooting randomly.. I Did Full Wipe, Format etc before flashing.. It seems fine while using it but once I turn the screen off and let it sit it just starts to randomly reboot. So I thought oh well its just the rom. Then I went back to MIUI and flashed the new Miui 2.10.26.2 which is a great running rom and I thought it fixed my problem because I spent an hour or 2 installing fresh new apps from the market, didnt restore anything or flash a custom kernel everything was stock and all fresh new apps. So I went to bed woke up at 6am like usual and noticed my phone had stopped responding... had to take the battery out and boot it up.. sometimes it does that and i have to pull the battery and sometimes it fully reboots. So now I am stumped ive tried everything i know. full format/wipes, fixing permissions, wiping dalvik and cache, and still not working! I hope my phone isnt dying or something. It was working fine. Please if anyone has a fix or knows what to do please help me! The only thing I haven't done is formatted my SD card which is what im about to try.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
What factory ROM?
Every ns4g responds to different kernels differently...maybe the newest version of that ROM u installed had a different kernel that sometimes causes many random reboots... so check that plz.
But u say udid a factory reset and stuff... did u wipe Dalvik and cache? Cuz that is important.
Good luck

Hi everyone,
Pardon my noobness. I am a big fan of everyone's help on this site. I am hoping you can help me out with something. I had CM10.1 on my Xoom 3G. It was running fine. I created a 2nd user for my wife to use. She wants to use the device as her own so I purchased another device. I decided to just do a full wipe of cache, dalvik, and user data. Now when the device boots, things don't work. The home button and the settings drop down. Also the browser opens and closes very quickly. I flashed the latest nightly and then reflashed the Gapps and that didn't help. I have wiped everything a few times and nothing was helping. I went back to an old Team EOS nightly and now it won't boot past their splash screen. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Update,
I downloaded CM10 and flushed all the cache and user data and that rom works fine.
Hello everyone
I broke my phone so I took one of my friend's old Nexus 5 which was not working and I tried to make it work.
However, I'm a complete noob. The phone wasn't turning on, so I used Nexus Root Toolkit in order to flash Android 6.0.1 M4B30Z
I had a lot of troubles, got stuck in booting loops and I couldn't solve it, even by wiping the phone over and over. So I finaly decided to flash Pure Nexus Hammerhead, and the phone finaly turned on.
However, all the apps are crashing (I'm not talking about store apps, but the one on the phone. Let's say I want to go in my settings, then the "settings" app will crash.
Sometimes, apps don't crash but the phone just freezes.
I don't know what to do anymore, that's why I resquest your help. What should I do to have a working phone ?
Thanks
Anyone can help me and tell me what to try ?

Sounds like you need to clean flash, factory reset as well as wipe system in advanced wipe in twrp before flashing ROM and gapps (I recommend Beans gapps minimal, not the full package) Make sure to wipe caches after flashing. Also make sure you're flashing an up to date build of Pure Nexus https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-pure-nexus-substratum-t3477787

Hello,
So I went to TWRP and clicked "Wipe", checked everything and restarted. Now I only have the "Google" screen displaying, and I'm not sure what to do to solve that
Hi all, first of all, sorry for my bad english.
My dad's smartphone has stopped working properly, then i thought to give him my old, but still nicely working, oneplus one.
My OPO is rooted, has a custom recovery (i think its name is TWRP or something like that, sorry but i don't touch these topics from years and i've forgot almost everything), and has a custom ROM (lineage OS 15.1) with android version 8.1.0.
Now, i would like to wipe my phone in order to give it full empty to my father. I want to keep lineageos, recovery and root are not so much necessary, idk if they will be keeped or not.
I would like to restore it as new, no applications, no data, no settings, no dalvik cache (if i remember well this had to be wiped too).
What have i to do? Factory reset or normal reset?
Thanks!
