Hey guys,
So, recently I have tried to flash the BeanStalk ROM on my Atrix 4g ( rooted and unlocked properly), but I didn't want to lose my apps and data, so I chose to format System and Cache only, not the full data wipe. So, I flashed it properly using the Aroma installer that came with it, but when I try to boot it, it gets stuck on the "Upgrading Android, starting apps" screen. I remove the battery and it gets stuck on the beanstalk boot animation. What should I do?

I just flashed the new CM7 ROM onto my Atrix. I was running the Dark Side ROM before the flash. I tried booting my phone up, it goes to the boot animation which runs for about 5 seconds, then reboots. Its cycled for 10 minutes. I pulled battery, reflashed, but the problem seems pretty persistent. Any Ideas?
it may be obvious but did you do the "3 wipes" before flashing CM7? also try "fastboot -w" if you've done wipes in recovery already before flashing
i am having a similar issue with the MOD 2 version of this rom, i was using my atrix with the hdmimirror.zip that i installed other than that the phone was just stock rooted, with an unlocked bootloader. now that i have flashed this rom ( doing all the necessary wipes and etc.) when i try to reboot i am stuck at the dual core screen. any thoughts?
Format the system partition, factory wipe/reset, wipe dalvik cache. Reboot into CWM and then go ahead and flash the ROM. That should hopefully make sure it's all clean before the install.
I've had my Samsung Galaxy S Showcase (tracphone) for awhile now and decided to root it. For some dumb reason I flashed a custom ROM onto it.
I had no problems until I downloaded Boot Animation. I selected a custom boot animation, rebooted my phone, and it loops at the animation forever.
I tried to restore using CWM and get the message "MD5 mismatch!"
I tried a factory reset, it errors every step of the way, then says data wipe complete. I reboot and it just keeps looping at the new boot animation.
I tried wiping the cashe, and formatting everything to re-instal the ROM. I select the ROM. it starts to install, resets the phone like it did the first time, but instead of going back to CWM to finish installing, it loads to the boot animation and loops.
I'm very new at this so I don't know what info you would need to help me out if at all possible. and if its impossible at least tell me that I'm royally clucked so I don't spend the rest of my life wondering =)
you can try to flash stock with odin there will be many threads and tutorials about it on the forums
Thanks for the suggestion, but I gave it to my friend who thinks he knows everything and he somehow turned it into a Samsung Mezmerize. Now a question about that. If I try and root it do I put CWM on it as a Samsung Mesmerize? I'm just very confused about everything now, do I treat it and everything I do to it as a Mesmerize?
Been getting frustrated over the past day.
Currently am up and running on a backup of Hyperdrive RLS 8.1, but I am afraid to reboot because for all of last night, any backup or clean install of any ROM I flashed would either
1) boot up the first time, but any subsequent reboots would result in stuck at the Samsung Custom Lock screen
2) not boot up at all, stuck at the Samsung Custom Lock screen
When I get stuck at the Custom Lock screen, I do a battery pull and then attempt to reboot into recovery. However, trying to boot recovery would not work (phone reboots itself after briefly showing "booting recovery" every time) until I plugged in the charger and tried to boot recovery (not sure if just coincidence?). Currently running TWRP 2.5.0.2
At this point, the recovery asks for a password (I have never set a password, don't know why this happens?). This prevents me from factory resetting (gives me an operation failed) because I need to "decrypt data" or something along those lines, using a password which I am sure I have never set. The internal storage is apparently unable to mount without decrypting data using a password..?
I found that in the WIPE menu I can perform the FORMAT DATA action which is successful and fixes the decrypt data problem, and I am able to factory reset and then restore a working ROM or install a new one (I tried CleanROM 1.6 with patch to 1.6.5 since it was on my sdcard).
This brings me to this position at the current moment. After formatting and factory resetting, I have done the following with such results:
1) Restoring my STOCK, ROOTED TWRP backup from before my install of Hyperdrive 8.1. Booted up fine, but a reboot gave the same results of stuck at the custom lock screen
2) Installing CleanROM, booted up fine the first time, but got stuck on the first reboot at the first bootup screen (it changed it to the original
Samsung Galaxy S4" instead of the custom lock?). I went back to recovery and went through the same process (decrypt by formatting data, factory reset, restore/install new rom)
3) Restoring my Hyperdrive 8.1 TWRP backup (first backup of the ROM while it was apparently running fine, reboots were normal and no problems yet). I am currently running this right now but have not attempted a reboot because I do not have the time for the next few days to mess around with my phone.
Summary: Stuck at initial boot screen (Custom Lock or Samsung Galaxy S4), TWRP 2.5.0.2 asks for password for decrypt?? & cannot factory reset, able to format data which allows factory reset after, restored Hyperdrive 8.1 backup, currently afraid to reboot in fear of getting stuck again.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I am considering ODIN a stock image and completely starting over, but that will have to wait until the weekend.
Hi guys, I have a stock standard S3 that will not boot past the Samsung splash screen. I have removed the battery but no luck. Any ideas on what I can do to get it to boot? I have not rooted, installed custom ROM, nothing.
Try going into recovery mode and wiping cache then reboot.If that doesn't work go into recovery and factory reset (but you will lose your data if you do that).
I've got CM13 with TWRP recovery on my Moto E LTE.
I messed something up - I think it was when I made a system app into a user app - and the phone rebooted and got stuck on the "bootloader unlocked" splash screen.
No problem - I have a TWRP backup. But when I restore the backup it freezes at 16% every time - at the step where it says "wiping data without wiping data/media"
If I try to wipe the cache, TWRP hangs.
If I try to reflash a fresh CM13 build, it seems to flash successfully, but when I boot it gets stuck on the "bootloader unlocked" splash screen.
Any ideas?
Try using a different custom kernel and try booting up
