I just tried switching from CM11 to OmniROM and have hit a bit of a problem. The initial boot of OmniROM works fine, but rebooting after the first boot causes the phone to hang at the yellow triangle. Tried to follow instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544790 .
Initial install was done from CWM, I flashed Renderbroken's OmniROM kernel for CWM, then I ran mr-cook's wipe, installed the i777 OmniROM from 1/24, then installed paranaoid android's gapps mini, then rebooted. Everything seemed fine, but after the first reboot it hung at the yellow triangle screen.
Rebooted into recovery, this time in TWRP I installed the zips from the SD card and added all 4 to be installed in succession, this time Renderbroken's OmniROM kernel for TWRP, mr-cook's wipe, i777 OmniROM from 1/24, then gapps mini. This time I wiped cache and wiped dalvik before reboot. Booted fine, ran well, but still hangs on a reboot.
Can download a new copy of the ROM in case there are any issues, but didn't see any other posts on that.
Any suggestions?
Curious indeed.
Let's try something simpler;
put the omnirom.zip on the internal sd
from TWRP recovery:
-wipe cache, dalvik, data & system.
-install Omnirom
boot the system (initial boot), reboot the system.

OK, thanks for the suggestion. Can't risk knocking my phone out of commission until Wednesday, but I'll let you know how it goes.

I got tired of waiting and risked it and it worked perfectly, thanks! Left it for 5 min after initial boot, rebooted normally, rebooted normally a second time (just to make sure). After that I downloaded the PA Micro Modular Google Apps (instead of the mini I used previously) and rebooted to recovery to install that, several more reboots and haven't had a problem yet.
Thanks for your help Cyril and thanks for the main i777 thread too.
id guess a corrupt download.

The flash procedure should be:
- download and copy to SD the GSB and Google apps zip files
- restart in Recovery
- [optional] Nandroid backup, if you want to save what you have now
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe Dalvik cache
- flash GSB
- flash Google apps
- restart
try rebooting into recovery and wiping the dalvik cache (assumung you are using RA_eris recovery) and rebooting again. That's solved most of my bootloop issues.
yeah, real talk i would completely do a full wipe
-data/dalvik
-format your sd card
then
-move GSB 2.8 and gapps to your sdcard and flash.
if it still won't boot i would try and flash kaosfroyo or something and see if that works
hope you figure it out
Been using twrp since rooting note II. I wanted to try out 4.4 PA but they said to only use cwm. It was late so I decided to be lazy and since I used to use rom manager all the time I installed it to flash cwm recovery then booted into recovery to install touch version. It wasn't showing the touch version so selected to restart to check to see where I saved it to it would not boot past the first "note II" splash screen. Battery pull then back into recovery and went ahead and flashed PA 4.4 and now it will get past the splash screen then shows boot animation but then starts all over.
Is this a rom manager issue?
can I flash twrp from within cwm recovery?
will I have to basically reroot it?
Any suggestions on how to get back to twrp and to a usable phone?
thanks
If you download a .zip of twrp and flash it you will have twrp for your recovery.
As long as you flash a rooted rom, you will be rooted.
Not sure what happened with the boot loop, did you by chance wipe the system without flashing another before booting?

Nope did my standard wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and factory reset then flashed rom then gapps. Going to go back to twrp and wait for 4.4 to be more stable before I try it out again and maybe then I can use twrp to flash it.
thanks for the help

Have you wiped data at all? You need to wipe data / factory reset when switching roms, and it sounds like you havent.

As stated above, on both cwm and twrp I wiped caches and did factory reset and still having the issues. Once back on twrp I even formatted internal memory thinking maybe rom manager messed something up on it and still can't get passed the splash screen.

Copy a ROM to your SD card (external not internal)
Install cwm and format data (actually full format, where /data/media gets wiped) and system
Install rom
Reboot
TWRP has some issues randomly with corrupting /data, that's why I no longer use it.

Finally got it. Thought using odin to flash back to root 66 and start fresh would work but after that it was still going to the splash screen then black and a battery pull had to be done. TWRP back ups would fail when trying to restore, so I reverted back to an older version of twrp and it finally let a back up be installed and it booted up just fine!!
thanks for all the suggestions
Im having a similar problem to yours, I am using twrp and flashed PA 3.99 the phone works great, but if my battery dies or i restart the phone or shut it down it automatically wont get passed the samsung logo, or sometimes the PA logo, the only work arounds ive seen to it is to wipe the cache and dalvik to boot, but when that fails i have to install the whole rom over again. any ideas?
Hi guys! I've been trying for the last hours to install Cyanogenmod 11 on a friend's S3 international (i9300). After some driver problems CM now installs fine, but after the installation finishes and the phone reboots the phone reverts to Samsung's stock firmware. Even though I select yes at the question that should prevent stock recovery from occurring.
I have tested every solution I could find out there to prevent this:
1. After CM setup finishes, I pull the battery and start the phone in Clockworkmod by holding Vol-up+home+power. Then I have wiped the cache, data and dalvik cache and rebooted. Still reverting to stock.
2. I have tried rooting the phone and removing /system/etc/install-recovery.sh using Root explorer before starting the installation. There was however no file /system/recovery-from-boot.p which was also mentioned in som guides.
Nothing seems to work.
I can't understand that I'm the only one having this problem. Is there a solution out there? Thanks!

Thanks! The reason I did not do this before was that I am not really comfortable installing manually and was afraid to brick the phone (since it's not mine). But I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly
It's a shame that the automatic installer can't handle this though.

Haha! Actually you won't brick your device by installing a ROM for your device. You can only brick it by flashing a ROM from other device without porting it, and I think this will be then only soft-bricked. A hard-brick can be done by flashing basebands from different devices. But I hope you won't do that
Actually by installing a ROM only your system(apps, vendor files, tweaks, etc.) and boot partition(kernel, etc.) will be overwritten. And that won't hard-brick your device
But I can understand your fear. I was same as you when I was a beginner
So, I made a custom PAC ROM zip for my phone with the pac_i9100-nightly-20150128.zip modded for my phone by removing the device check so it will install on my S959G. And reason for me doing this is the same for OmniRom, all SGH-I777 zips for PAC ROM and OmniROM are deleted for some reason so the I9100 is next in line for me.
Here is my process for installing this rom
Wipe user data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Wipe Dalvik cache
Installed Mr.Cooks ROM wipe script
Installed pac_i9100-nightly-20150128.zip
Installed Render-KK-03-22-CWM.zip
Installed GAPPS 4.4.4 Pico zip
Wipe user data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Wipe Dalvik cache
Reboot into PAC
I thought my steps was enough, and I'm coming from Resurrection Remix 4.4.2 KitKat v5.1.5 By SteveMurphy
Is there a step I missed in the flashing process or an app I have installed causing Random Reboot or Reboots in general.
I also checked the last_kmsg file and it said something about rebooting
<0>[ 6993.848196] c1 Rebooting in 1 seconds..
Including a link to the file on my MEGA below

You should be wiping /system before installing the ROM, along with the usual cache wipes. You do not have to do those wipes again after installing. No idea what would be causing random reboots, except the usual suspect being a faulty power button. Try your install again, but wipe /system as well and don't use the ROM Wipe Script. There have been (old) reports of that causing some issues.
One other thing could be the kernel, as Render's kernel is really outdated - could be another cause!

I have CWM recovery installed and it only can wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache. I could install Omni TWRP to be able to wipe /system. I do have the Shift kernel 1.0 to 5.0 zips as well, i could flash hem but i have no idea if they are compatible with STweaks since I only use it to enable the BLN for the bottom keys. Plus I random rebooted twice today, you want another last_kmsg log from it?
Also logcatting on my Ubuntu 15.04 laptop in terminal with the following command
Code:
adb logcat *:W *:F *:E
for Warnings, Fatal Warnings and Errors until a random reboot occurs

CWM wipes /system, it's in a sub menu somewhere but I don't remember because I've not used CWM in a very long time. I know it's there because I used to do it! My suspicion is it's kernel related, but you'll need a KK kernel that's updated with the necessary blobs and I don't think there is a newer one for i777.
Unless someone else pops in with another suggestion, I'm out of ideas. Maybe it's time for you to update to LP?

I tried CyanideL 5.1.1 ROM for I777 and it would random reboot, but on this PAC ROM, I think I fixed it by turning off Dynamic statusbar colors on screen to disabled and has not rebooted yet but I'm still crossing my fingers still.
Also read about Mr.Cooks ROM Wipe script on Omni 5.1, seen it sticks some S2 phones on the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen for awhile, Not good
Hi;
So i recently installed CyanogenMod 13.0 on to my Samsung S4 GT-I9505 using the first download link on:
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jfltexx --> cm-13.0-20160102-NIGHTLY-jfltexx.zip
That all installed fine, but i wanted to get the Google apps installed aswell, which is where i am having some issues.
I have been trying to install the following package:
http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=nano
but have also tried to install quite a few others as well, and all have exactly the same issue. Basically after the apps have been installed and i boot the device up, i get various error messages like:
unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped
unfortunately, google play services has stopped
Any help on fixing this would be much appreciated, as nothing seems to download from the play store thats included in Cyanogen, they just say "your download will begin shortly" but never does.
Thanks in advance
I am a total noob, but I had exactly this problem. The issue appears to be that you have to flash gapps *before* rebooting after flashing CM. In my case since I had already flashed CM before I flashed gapps I had to put the gapps file on the phone (I did this by push with adb, you might find an easier way), re-flash CM, wipe cache/dalvik, flash gapps, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot. It worked.
The easiest guide I found was on androiding.how, called "how to install cm13 (cyanogenmod13)." (The forum won't let me post a link, just google it, it should come up).
Hope that helps. I'm on a galaxy s5 and used twrp recovery if that matters.

Thanks for the reply, i gave that a try and it seems to be stuck on a loop now with "installing app # of 22" . it completes the installation and then reboots, after about 5 minutes on the Cyanogen boot screen, it goes back to installing apps again.
Hm, did you do a factory reset in your recovery before re-flashing CM and gapps? If not, that might be necessary.

Yeah, i did. Tried it multiple times now
That's about the limit of my ability right there, hopefully someone with more experience than me can point you in the right direction. Good luck.
Boot to recovery (preferably TWRP)
Wipe cache / dalvik cache / data / system
Flash CM13 and the gapps you were trying first
Reboot
Profit!
Since you keep flashing different gapps on top of the system, this is probably causing some issues. Once you fully wipe and reflash everything, it should work.

Ive tried that multiple times using twrp (i always wipe everything before i flash CM13 and gapps), i still get the exact same issue. The second the phone boots, i get all these "unfortunately ******** has stopped".
Perhaps try installing 12.1 with gapps, get it all updated then upgrade to 13. I did the accidental upgrade to 13 but have had no issues whatsoever.
