I think I have at least a direction on figuring out the boot animation getting stuck and looping ??
I was tweaking my boost animation and it "did it" on me. started looping. the machine is actually booted by sitting another S3 next to it and duplicating key pressed I could figure out where to touch to reboot for example.
this animation worked FINE the only change between working and not working was the FPS in the desc file.
the 10fps is the one that loops
20fps 15fps 12 fps and 8 fps all work fine. no loop issues. JUST the 10fps.
I tried rezipping it thinking that was the issue (bad file) but no, it still gets stuck. ONLY that one (I did not try 9 and 11 fps)
obviously I now use 8fps but maybe someone can use this info to figure out whats going on ?
Here is the 10fps file (to make it work just change the 10 to some other number like 08 or 12 in the txt file)
to get out of the loop pull the battery boot to recovery and wipe cache (that is all you need to wipe)
this will let you boot up ONE TIME so make sure you change the boot animation or you have to do the wipe cache again.

Ok so i'm trying to figure out whats wrong.
I got my G- Tablet, got clockwork running with no issues, installed Cyanogen 7 build 38 (which was available at the time) and installed gapps.
Everything was running perfect.
Today I got an SD card in the mail for it and I popped it in, booted up, and now its stuck in the Cyanogen boot animation screen. I've rebooted several times, removed the sd all together (at the time it had nothing on it), loaded the latest build along with cyanogen 6 beta 4 etc and i'm always stuck at the boot animation.
I've done factory resets, and wiped cache, and even tried to wipe the Dalvik cache.
I'm at a total loss, does anyone know what I can do?
You know what I have found. with the CM7 boot. When I first installed it with no apps it would take 3 to 4 arrow passes around the android to get to the home screen about 4 seconds. But after I installed all my apps the time went up a lot. After about 30 passes I stopped counting and it takes several minutes to boot up.
worst comes to worst you can always use nvflash to go back to stock and start over again
Well....i thought that maybe that was the issue....that ill just let it loop its way to death and see what happens when i walk away for 5 minutes but I found the tablet turned itself off :-/
Hows this nvthing work?

that has a very good step by step guide on what needs to be done. Just an FYI that will put you on stock rom and I think the OTA update is down right now, so you might not be able to update to 3588 till OTA comes back up.
wow excellent, thank you so much for the info.
I will give this a try, and report back my findings
ok, so I tried this nvflash thing and it ran successfully. I let it reboot....and now instead of the cyanogen flash animation i get the g tablet animation loop.
For some reason this thing is getting stuck at the boot animations...is there something I can do within clockwork to format something...???
Wiping Cache and Data usually clears up looping at the animation for me. If that doesn't help then repartition.
SOLVED. Ok so I did some reading on the topic, it turns out that the tablet needs to have the sd card partitioned a certain way in order to get everything running again. The link at the bottom has all the information if your g tablet doesn't get past the splash screen and your stuck in a boot loop.

My phone has been in this condition for weeks now and I cannot seem to find a solution. Any ideas at all?

That's right, you understand. and perhaps I just don't know what it means but, I don't think it "freezes" on the 4GLTE screen, it loads until that screen and then continues to be animate, rings appearing and disappearing, loading indefinitely. I don't know if that's anything different, but just in case that clarifies anything.
and I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2040264 but to no avail. it always fails @ or immediately after the RECOVERY step.
Any ideas?

So i have a galaxy s5, was running Cyanogenmod 12
my phone was freezing and rebooting then eventually it was stuck and would only boot into download mode
so i cut my losses and flashed stock 4.2 and 5.1.1 (files from samMobile matched model number) and the problems persist
cleared cache and factory reset multiple times and booting in safe mode doesn't fix anything
the phone freezes on samsung splash screen usually mid animation, sometimes i get to tmobile screen when it freezes.
sometimes it will boot without any problems and work normally for a few seconds then freeze and shut off into the same loop
i have searched and can't find any advice past (flash stock and your good )
oh and knox counter 0X1 (2) so no warranty for this guy.
What a helpful forums
I would recommend taking out your sim card and memory card before doing a factory reset. Once done let it boot and see what happens. If it works ok aka boots fine let it sit for 10 min. Now power it down and put your sim card in only and boot up again. Wait the 10 mins again to see if anything happens. If all good power off and put the memory card back in and repeat. Also do not sign into your google account while doing this. Do not sync anything. Just do it bare bones. If everything seems to go well, then you can slowly start putting stuff on and syncing things. when you notice it starting to happen undo the last thing you change/added. Hope that helps. And remember to be nice. Sometimes it takes a while to get help. Being rude isnt the answer pal. Good luck and hope you had a good holiday.

after all that, doesnt it sound like a problem with hardware? sure is a lot like when a pc is malfunctioning (due to overclock or damage, etc)
my only ideas are try turning it on in cold weather, plugged into wall power, & an extreme case... maybe modifying a kernel to give a little more voltage to the cpu & gpu... the idea is a bit out there, but again with the pc example, there's a chance for it to do the trick, but also chance to accelerate damage IF it's entirely based on usage (but if it's dying already, there's no going back)
my pc gpu failed in an interesting way a few years ago, i was playing limbo of all things, not a demanding game, capped at 60fps, then the whole system froze randomly, so i restart, start game again, froze again, think i had one more go until artifacts appeared on screen & it froze/bsod'd as soon as the driver loaded, a clear hardware death
Same Problem

I am having the same problem. Any other advice. I have flashed with odin F0G6 stock firmware.
I've been trying for hours now to get this simple animation to work, I swear I have everything right. I've tried different resolutions, numberings, fps, etc but everytime all I get is ether a black screen till boot is complete or an android boot animation.
would anyone care to take a look and tell me whats wrong? Its only 8 frames long, by 2 folders, could that be it?

Just add the . back to the link, I cant post links because I'm under 10 posts but without outside links or a way to attach, the best I can get is info I've already read over and over all over the web.
Edit: I guess I should mention that I am rooted and running Cyanogenmod 11 on an LG Optimus G (E973). Root isnt a problem and Cyanogenmod's images for their boot animation are jpgs as well.
I currently have a LG G3 Stylus running cm12 (5.1.1) rooted. I played around with the GeneUX rom for a while. After a while I decided to try something else, so I downloaded CM 12. My phone has always booted up by first displaying a carrier/ brand logo and then a boot animation. I made sure to wipe everything except for my internal memory and sd card when I installed the new ROM. But even though I am currently running CM 12, my phone starts up by displaying a GeneUX5 logo and then whatever boot animation I decide to pick from "Boot Animation for SuperUSER". I need help in order to remove, change, or disable the logo thing left behind from the last rom.
