So I have an XT1031 and it's been running Ressurection Remix MM (Thuglife kernel) for about a year now when suddenly it died today.
I haven't messed with anything, simply uninstalled some apps, mainly games then a few hours later it all the sudden rebooted, now when it boots up it'll optimize apps and once it has finished it will crash or something basically causing it to bootloop. Why?
Thankfully anything really important, such as pictures, are already backed up to dropbox, so I haven't lost very much but is there anyway to salvage it?
(Note: I have booted into recovery and tried deleting both the cache as well as the Dalvik/ART cache no good, unfortunately...)
And... While I'm here I figure I might as well ask how to install Nougat? By that I mean, can I go straight from MM into Nougat or do I need any sort of updates first?
Thanks.
Alright, since nobody apparently has any ideas on the matter, I went ahead and factory wiped my phone and it works now, although I'll probably wipe it and install a Nougat rom later.

So I had cm12 installed and something happened to where my.phone was lagging so I said screw it and reflashed, while something happened and now I tried to while everything. Well I think I did something wrong because I lost all my apps in the app drawer,but when I go into file manager all my stuff is still there,but now the last couple times I tried to reboot the charging light was flashing red to yellow, but when I take the battery out and put it back in it reboots fine back to the screwed up home screen. Still with all my apps and pictures. Viewable in file manager.someone please help I'm freaking out thinking my phone is screwed up for good ....
Very hard to understand you. What ROM did you flash to now? Does TWRP work, can you get into TWRP?
Yes I can get into twrp,basically it threw me back into my cm12 ROM with none of my apps,and I tried to reflash Google apps and it didn't work,so if I can get into twrp is there a way to fix this by doing like a general full factory reset? And if so exactly how do I do that? I dunno this sucks....I dont wanna try anything else until I kinda have an idea what to do, don't wanna screw it up anymore

If you don't know how to factory reset you probably shouldn't be flashing in the first place. I highly suggest just doing a clean flash and flash Gapps right after you flash CM 12. In order to wipe data, you just click wipe in TWRP.
No I know how to factory reset lol.it's just I did that and when it would go to restart I got little error code up in left hand side of screen. But it doesn't matter because thanks to androidrootz I downloaded New firmware connected it to pc and completely reinstalled operating system. So I'm not rooted or anything and I'm back to square one, .but much better than where I was at.
If your custom Rom was bugging out it could have been a corrupted download. Sometimes all you can do is start from scratch. If you want to flash custom, you need to expect these things. Remember that this is a development site. I have seen where the same Rom acts differently on the exact same phone model. This could be due to a variety of things such as microscopic differences in hardware (this is one of the reasons phones of the same model handles being overclocked more our less than others), settings, tweaks, or apps installed.
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
I have a well and heavily used Galaxy S5 (GM-900P) and about 2 months ago it started accting up pretty hard. Becoming very very slow so I decided to update to the latest sprint firmware and install a new(er) rom ([ROM][QD1][6.0.1]14Dec2017] Stock-ish Plus Tidbits and Magisk) and all was good for about 5 days and the phone started having apps crash/force close like crazy and most the time just reinstalling them would fix it but a bunch of google play services would crash and would have to uninstall the updates then it would work again for a day or so, sometimes it would randomly restart and get stuck at the boot screen and the phone would get crazy hot and the only way out of it was to boot into the recovery and then reflash the stock firmware in odin again then reinstall the rom. Then I had my phone all of a sudden act like there was no sim card in it and originally though it was a sim card issue but turns out it wasnt, I had to boot into the recovery and do a full wipe of everything reflash the stock firmware yet again and then reinstall the rom again. That happened twice in a matter of a week. At my wits end I decided to give LineageOS v16 a try so I boot into recovery, do a full wipe, boot into download mode, flash the latest stock firmware in odin, then boot right to recovery, flash LineageOS 16.0 then latest Magisk and all was great, for about a week, then Google services start crashing again and random apps crash over and over and even times the phone would slow down and reboot, get stuck at the boot screen and then eventually just reboot back into recovery by itself after failing to boot. But with LineageOS at least just reflashing the rom in the recovery will let it boot right back up sometimes and work as it should for another few days, other times too much stuff will just keep crashing so I do a full wipe and reflash LineageOS and all will be great for another few days to a week and it starts all over again. Its like stuff just randomly gets corrupted on the device and the only way out of it is to reflash the whole thing and start over and enjoy it until it does it again. Sometimes it will go days, sometimes a day later its all screwy again.
Also, TWRP always fails when I try to do a back up and it seems to always fail when in the data or data/private-app part of the system and its never at the same point.
I guess my question here is, could the onboard flash (the motherboard/logic board) be taking a crap on me? I really really dont want to give up on this phone just yet as it has everything I want in a phone and frankly, I just really really like it. I can get a new (used) motherboard for like $20 but even that kind of worries me cause I dont want to possibly be in this same position 3 months later again. I have a Galaxy S8+ (unlocked AT&T phone) that I refuse to use yet just cause I can not root it or unlock the bootloader.
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated and sorry for the long winded post.
could be wrong, on this one, But.....
If it was mew, I would go to stock . run that for a day, maybe 3... if all it well, then flash over what ever Rom you would like.
"KNOWING IT Work" is the key. Oh, another thing, that may help too . seen this on one of the LineageOS 15.1 or 16 is when you wipe ... System and Data, can be Reformatted, they have had some major success by also formatting it, (YES EXT4) but this will help to ensure nothing left over....
May even help with others Android 8.0, 8.1, 9.0....
Well, I have a new motherboard on the way so we'll see how that goes but I did manage to get the stock firmware on there and booted then I reflashed TWRP and then Magisk and going to just run it that way for a bit and see what happens.
I initially went in to TWRP, wiped data,system, etc... then flashed the stock firmware in Odin, then rebooted, got stuck at the Samsung boot logo so pulled the battery, booted to stock recovery, did a factory reset (Wiped everything, internal sd card included), then got it to boot, set the phone up, then rebooted to download mode, flashed TWRP, then rebooted again, set the phone up a bit more then decided to flash Magisk so I have root, and so far its working. 100% stock with magisk. Fingers crossed.
I still think there is an issue with the internal flash memory though as I can not get a TWRP backup to actually complete without failing. It always fails when backing up stuff in the data partition/section and never at the same point like its having read errors or something. I'll grab a TWRP log and post it up in a bit.
Well, that didnt last long. Within an hour, apps started crashing. I will make this thing work! LoL
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!
Hi all,
I recently took the plunge into the Android world of things and loved it. Everything was going according to plan, until I decided to try out the DSU loader and load a GSI package. Based on everything I read it shouldn't had cause any issues, but unfortunately it did. Once I rebooted the phone I received the dreaded "Your Device is Corrupted and Cannot Be Trusted" message. Unfortunately it all went down hill for me from there. A couple of things I know now and shouldn't have done without knowing more information was performing a "Format and Download" option on the phone. Had no idea I was going to loose other partitions that is not created by the flashing of the Rom.
I was able to get the Manufacturer Rom and flash it back to the device. Everything appeared to be working fine until I noticed that I was not getting any data for the battery management option. Another thing I noticed is that now my battery is rapidly loosing it's charge. Could this be related to the Cache Partition not being present? Is there anyway to get the Cache Partition back or recreate it by rooting the device? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Glitch
