Device can't work under omni/cm 4.4.4 for some reason

Okay I've got this weird problem since updated to awesome recovery/kernel. Whenever there is CM/Omni involved, my phone starts acting weird. Okay, listen to this.
First of all, everything seems normal after clean install. Then I install some of urgent apps (total commander, whatsapp - that's all). After a day or two my phone starts to act weird - it's rebooting itself and bootloops. I turn it off and on again - boots to os, then after a few minutes another reboot into bootloop. Okay... I thought it was because I didn't have the ext4 partition. Formatted into ext4 from recovery, installed Omniroom from 2 sept. and suprisingly it went good for two days! I installed some more apps and used it regularly - but it happend again. Reboot, bootloop, manualy reboot, worked fine for a minute, another reboot into bootloop. I thought that my SD card was damaged. h2testw claimed that it was perfectly fine. Now I wanted to install some stock 2.3.5 into it... I couldn't even pass the HTC screen because it keept rebooting itself...
Tell me what can I do to make this piece of... functional again? I ordered new phone, but it will arrive within next 14 days at best, and I still need the functioning android phone. Any advice, help is appreciate: links to a flashable stock roms, links to a fucntioning omni/cm rooms, any help on how to install them... thanks in advance

if you want to install older roms or stock you`ll need to fastboot an older recovery check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415223 you only need to do PART 3 : Add a Recovery section
now you should be able to flash non-aw3som3 roms cm10 RC2 and below/ICS/Jellybean/Stock jaggyjags roms either way will get a functioning phone back for you, remember to wipe everything apart from sdcard once in recovery then install whichever rom

[Q] Galaxy 10.1 GT-N8010 woes

Hi guys,
After searching for a few days and doing stuff myself (perhaps not everything for the best), I finally get it over with and ask for advice.
I've got a GT-N8010, since long been running an unofficial CM11 build (since one of these CM11 builds, the device was known as a GT-N8013).
Last week I started looking at the unofficial CM12.0 and CM12.1 builds, those looked promising.
After some info, I flashed to the CM12.1 build. A few minutes later, Android 5.1 in all it glory... everything running fine. Saturday evening I noticed I didn't get root.
Without thinking straight, the next morning I started flashing superuser but as you might imaging, that totally f'ed the system.
Now logically, one could just reflash CM12.1 and be done with it .. somehow I skipped all logic and started tinkering in recovery (TWRP).
After some doing, I managed to even F-up TWRP, it wouldn't boot anymore. The TeamWin logo was visible, screen flashed, logo and back.
No worries, there's still the download mode .. yeah about that ... already in panic mode .. doing more harm than good.
So .. Now I'm at this curious state.
I've managed to get it booting to a stock ROM. TWRP is also running.
The weird stuff I'm encountering now:
The device is semi recognized as a GT-N8000, if it was just that, I really don't care.
I said semi, when I want to flash another ROM (even specifically the CM12.1 for GT-N8000) it always states (in ADB Sideload in TWRP) that the package is not for this device.
There's a whole lot of devices listed, then it states "this device is ." , as in blanco device?
Anyone got an idea how to fix it so I can enjoy the Android 5.1 build again? (and seriously, remove the stock rom would be the first priority)
Thanks.

Shield Tablet LTE stuck at Bootmenue/Bootloop

Hey Folks,
got some messy Prob's with my old nVidia Shield LTE Tablet.
The Facts:
-KillSwitch not Triggered and it was succesfully Rooted in November 2015, TEGRA-OTA was also Removed (nomoreota)
-worked for Months (beneath one year), only Super-SU penetrated me periodely that it needs to be Updated, but it couldnt be done, it said "not enough Space" after trying to install a newer Version. :silly:
-past Month (January 2017) i decided to do a Factory-Reset, because Girlfriend should get the Shield, thats where the Problem started:
After clicking Factory-Reset, it began to work. After 4 Hours and nothing happening, i decided to Power it Off and start fresh with Installing a clean Stock-ROM and remove the TEGRA-OTA as i done a year before.
But from now on things get messy and to complicated for me.
In the Past i rooted and flashed it with "Shield-RAM", found here on xda.
But this Time it didnt ended with a working Shielt-Tablet. It stucks alwas in a Bootloop, in Recoverymode also as in normally booting the flashed OS.
Confused an disturbed by this, i tried different Recoverys (TWRP 2.8 and 3.0, also a CWM), all with the same Effect: Bootloop
Now i only can acces the Bootmenue which says Bootloader Unlocked.
I dont now what to do from here on and would be very happy and glad, if someone can help me figuring out whats going wrong.
If further Details are needed i will do my best to provide things i forgot here to mention.
With kind regards - ToxicFighter1

Hi !
There is this thread where you can try to get it back to stock https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/unofficial-update-original-shield-t3281541
This nice index may help as well
Good luck !

Thanks, but that's not the problem. If I boot into Fastboot / Bootloader, it's totally fine. In fact, I can plug the tablet up to my PC when it's in any state and doesn't experience the issue. It only occurs when I have it plugged into AC. SO far, I've tried 3-4 different cables and power supplies for 2.4A, 2.1A, and 1.2A - all adapters which worked 100% prior to updating.
Suggestions?

OK - Finally fixed it...
I replaced everything as shown above, but ran into the issue again as soon as FlashFire installed the OTA. So, I tried a different way to upgrade and no longer have the issue. Below is what I did...
- Installed 4.4.0 via ADB/fastboot wirhOEM recovery
- Completed initial setup and upgraded to 5.0 via built in system update
- Rebooted
- Booted to bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery
- Booted to TWRP
- Installed SuperSU via sideload
I would have started out applying 5.0 via adb/fastboot, but have yet to see a full image available yet. Used same TWRP and SuperSU as originally used. Just eliminated GlashFire from process. Once I rebooted and everything loaded, plugged into 2.4a power, and it worked without going into boot loop.
Hope this may help someone else - Thanks

Hey Folks,
thx for the few answers, i'll try these Tips out the upcomig Days.
Lot'a Stuff to do atm, bit Busy.
With kind regards - Toxic

Ressurection Remix on A8

Hello everyone,
I am creating this post because I would like to know if someone has already installed Ressurection Remix on a Galaxy A8 ?
I saw some tutorials that are explaining this is possible,but when I go to the Ressurection Remix official download page, I cannot find which file is specific to the galaxy A8. Actually, I have some difficulties to understand the files names : Raphael, Sakura, Jason,... Are theses names code names for différents phones ?
I may add that the bootloader of my phone is unlocked, and I am using TWRP to flash zip files.
I didn't treblelize my phone thought.
If you have some other custom rom suggestions, please do not hesitate to advise me.

You can install RR through GSI, by this link
You will have to trebelize your device
Because it's a gsi android 10, you can use vendor quack
Treble Guide
Vendor Quack

Thanks for your reply. Yes I saw that it was possible to treblelize the phone, to install other rom like the very famous lineage os.
But I am little bit hesitant about this procedure : is everything working well with the phone after a treblelization ? Has anyone tried this method?

Treblizing the phone itself does not cause any problem rather it enables you to install different GSIs. Regarding GSIs, each have there own bugs and you have to find them on the GSI thread if available or if they have telegram or github support.

Hey, just made an account to respond to this as I just discovered there are per-device pages on these forums and saw this post, I have done exactly that and been running it for 2+ years now, so far I have had no majour problems wih it, the only majour caviat is that after trebblimg it and installing resurrection remix It seems to freeze when trying to display the charging animation if the phone is off and it plugged in, it still charges without any problems, tho to boot it when in this situation you need to force shut it down using the volume_down + lock buttons and then immidiately after use volume_up + lock buttons to boot into recovery, then you can boot to the normal system from there, I have a TWRP recovery but I think the stock one also allows to resume booting the normal system.
In these last months I had a few weird bugs like the screen brightness beeing locked to automatic but that went away after a reboot and only happened 1 time.
I also installed magisk and a few other small tweaks and things and everything works great, also all resurrection remix customization options.
Actually in the last few months something broke because the safetynet checks fail for the ctsProfile, (most apps like my banking app tho still work fine by using magisk hide (i think it's because the safetynet basicIntegrity check still succeds) and the update page seems also broken (tho no idea about when this broke exactly as I haven't checked it in years), everything else is still fine tho, I might try re-flashing it to update to the new majour resurrection remix when i have time and the will to backup and move everything, something could have corrupted or maybe an update broke it, no idea.
My phone reports resurrection remix 7.0.2 and Android 9.
Hope this is still helpful.

Help with nexus 7 (2012) rom

Hi. for 2 days I have been googling and looking on this forum on which rom is best for nexus 2012, but I can't find anything at all. most posts are for 2013 version or outdated with dead links.
I was able to get lineage 14.1 on it, but it was missing google play, after following some guide here and installing Gapps, it then stopped booting. it got stuck on the google logo and that's it. lineage 14.1 itself worked fine, installation of gapps succeeded, but simply won't boot. tried several times. always gets stuck on google logo (waited over 15 minutes).
before that i had some kali version on it, but out of the blue it stopped working and wouldn't boot anymore, that's where i deciced to try lineage. i dont want kali on it anymore as it was sluggish to start with.
so I thought I'll just put original rom on it and was looking for original 2012 rom download, but it seems like it comes in pieces like system.img boot.img ..etc and I don't want to overwrite my bootloader or lock the device again or cause other issues. I just want a working rom that can be sideloaded.
can someone please point out which rom is actually working with nexus 7 2012 and can be flashed using sideload or twrp loader.
I already have everything working, such as twrp, fastboot ..etc. I can easily sideload any working zip or img, but I simply can't find a working one.
I find only dead links on this forum and elsewhere, such as this one "xxxxxx" which is suppose to be for some nightly version. and some dead gapps links that point to dead domains or link just doesn't even exist.
please dont start suggesting to buy new tablet. i'm poor and i have no money and i only need this tablet to use with my smart plugs and camera. i'm not going to buy new tablet just for that. i just want to keep it on charger 24/7 so i can monitor my plugs and camera. that's all.
but for that i need working android rom and google play store so i can download and update apps.
I don't have any backups nor important data on it, however i want to keep it unlocked and keep the twrp.
any help would be appreciated. thanks.

lineage 14.1 itself worked fine, or not?

it was bit sluggish and got stuck couple times during boot, but it worked.
I think better question to ask is: does any of the ROMs comes with gapps?
It was like 5-6 years ago so i don't remember much, but i installed some version of kali on it and it had everything included (play store and other stuff). however as i mentioned before, for some reason it got really, really sluggish and at some point it just stopped booting completely.

so your question is about gapps. ROMs always should provided without google apps for licence violation.
use older installer. check recovery.log
