E970 Stuck at Boot Animation - AT&T LG Optimus G

Ok guys I need some help, as I'm out of ideas.
My E970 was on Philz Recovery and just the ASOP rom, then I wanted to try the new CM11 Stable, so I flashed, but it will not boot past the spinning CM logo. I then tried CWM, TWRP, and even other roms (SlimKat, ASOP again), but none of the roms would boot past it's animation screen.
I tried Teenybin (both original and alt bins) with LGNPST, but nothing has helped.
Any ideas?

Have you tried wiping the data partition after flashing?

Flash Philz's CWM
than go to recovery ( here if you rom in sd card than it's fine but if it's not there then go to mount and storage and mount USB storage and copy rom )
Now Wipe data and format system ( if you are on philz CWM then go to wipe data ---> clean install to new rom will do both )
Flash rom and Gapps
Wipe cache and delvick cache
rebooot

[SOLVED] ROMs fail to boot

Hi,
I am starting from rooted stock with emmc CWM v5.0.2.8
As always before flashing any ROM I backup, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe dalvik cache.
I have tried flashing SlimBean, LiquidSmooth, CyanogenMod unofficial, and CyanogenMod nightly; all with the same result.
Cyanoboot comes up just fine, then it proceeds into the ROM boot animation, sometimes it displays the boot animation for a few seconds,freezes then loops, others it just loops.
I have tried flashing "flashable_fix_bootloop.zip"
I have also tried flashing from CWM 6.02.7 but that recovery for me is very laggy and cannot access sdcard
I am really confused I would love for my tablet to be on jellybean the stock B+N is terrible
Any help is much appreciatted,
thatsnailguy
You could always do what I describe in the topic that at this moment is right below yours. Not the most elegant, but almost fool proof! The CM10 I use is better than any 10.1 I have tried. Either way, it's better than stock.

To flash CM10 you need a newer version of CWM v6.x.y.z. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123 for more pointers.
If you still cannot boot past the boot-animation try flashing Succulent's fix flash_kernel_acclaim_30MAR2013_HD.zip at posted at http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/cm10-1-jellybean-android-4-2-2-for-nook-tablet-0218/ (under the heading "Flash this if your NT doesn’t boot newer kernel").
Thank you apparently I downloaded a wrong version of a 6.x.x.x cwm its all working now.

[Q] Issues after switching to cwm from twrp

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?

i9305 stuck on rom booting screen

Was flashing my friends i9305 and now it wont boot any rom I flash... always gets stuck on the first boot screen until I take out battery.
I flashed CWM 6.0.4.7 using odin.
I have tried flashing several roms (CM 11, CM 10.1, PACman 4.3)... Each one will flash with no errors, then when I reboot after correct GAPPS it just gets stuck on the loading screen forever and won't boot up into ROM.
Wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system > Install rom from zip, install GAPPS from zip > reboot (even here I wipe system/data/cache - still doesnt work).
Any ideas on why it won't load up the roms....

Did you flash a 19305 rom this is 19300 forum?
Wrong forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it to the i9305 q&a forum -anything here could brick it.

[Q] No KitKat (4.4.X) Rom will boot on Galaxy S3

HI.
I've changed roms before countless times, but now I'm trying to install a 4.4.2 rom on my Galaxy S3, and I have some problems. The installation (flash) passes with no problems, but after that, the phone won't boot. It sticks on whatever the rom's boot animation is. I've tried to wipe data, cache, wipe dalvik after this but it's still not working. Before I flash every rom, I do a factory reset, wipe the dalvik cache, and format system. I've tried with 15+ 4.4.X roms, and these are some of them: CyanogenMod, OmniROM, SlimKat, AOKP, Pacman and so on. As I said, I've flashed roms before a lot of times, without any problem. Only 4.4+ roms wont work. I tried to change the recovery, still the same result. I flash gapps with every rom too. Any idea what can be causing the problem? I'm using the latest Clockwork recovery, Sorry for my bad english and thanks.

Format data and system and cache (full wipe) also intstall the rom then boot it then flash gapps after see if that helps.

I've already done that every time. As I said - Its not my first time flashing roms on my device. I know how to fix the general errors. This is something unusual tho.
Hey
When it bootloops, have you tried to goto recovery and see what us the cwm version??
Also try re-flashing the ROM without wipes..

I just flashed EHNDROIX V (based on CynogenMod 4.4.2 KitKat) last night and it worked just fine.
Rooted the device with Odin, install TWRP from playstore, install TWRP recovery from TWRP, clean dalvik, clean data, clean cache, flash ROM and then flash Gapps (spesific Gapps for the ROM) and voila it worked right away.
Note:
You see, I am not using CWM but TWRP. I dunno if CWM is the one causing the problem.
Most of the weird flashing issues are due to the recovery used, you could also try the latest version of Philz recovery which has an option to wipe for new firmware.

Quote " Before I flash every rom, I do a factory reset, wipe the dalvik cache, and format system" You said nothing about formatting data that is why i suggested it! Next time please include all details on how you flashed the rom then It cuts down on useless post's like mine
Like everybody suggested try a different recovery ( latest one) which if you have flashed roms many times before you should have done anyway
Thanks guys, but I've already tried these things. CWM, TWRP and three other recoveries (not famous ones) haven't been able to help.

If a rom is stuck in a loop, I would go to recovery and wipe dalvik and wipe data then reboot into same rom. This has worked for me when I've been stuck after a flash.

[Help] Flashing PAC Rom

I don't understand what is it that I might be doing wrong, I root the tablet, have bootloader unlocked, and install Dualrecovery. From TWRP recovery I wipe Dalvik cache, Cache, System, and Data. Install PAC Rom Castor and GApps using TWRP, all seems to go well, no errors present themselves. Then I reflash "TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable" to keep the recovery intact before I attempt to boot into system per their instructions after installing a custom ROM. I wiped Dalvik and Cache before I reboot and once it goes away from recovery nothing occurs just my tablet remaining in flash boot which is a good thing so I can start all over again since obviously something went wrong and just use flashtools to get back to an old stock firmware. I have a SGP512. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Edit: Even tried it w/o wiping system and same results just doesn't boot.

Your device will never Boot if you flash pac with nuts recovery. It causes to much Problems with cm based roms. So to rescue your tab you need Boot into fastboot and write "fastboot erase recovery" then flash this kernel http://doomlord.xperia-files.com/do...2U3RrS2VybmVsX1dJRkktdjAzXzE3LjEuMS5BLjAuNDAy
Do not reboot to system. Power of the device and then Boot into recovery (when you see the Sony logo and the LED light turns pink/amber/orange keep tapping/pressing VOLUME UP key). Then you will See cwm recovery. There first do a factory reset and Format system. Format system is in mounts and storage options) now flash PAC Rom and gapps and reboot to system now the device should Boot correctly. After the first boot do all settings then go to developer options and you will find expand reboot menu or something Luke this. Tick it and than hold the power button for some second tap reboot than bootloader (before connect the device with your PC) than use fastboot to flash the New recovery. Use one of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...wrp-cwm-philz-recovery-collection-z2-t3052676
For instructions to flash recovery look in the thread there are a step "Installation" if you need more help write me

Thanks! I used Flashtools to flash over the recovery via fastboot and accessed the recovery to do the rest. I had no idea CM based ROMS don't work well that recovery or any other I haven't tried yet. Any suggestion on what recovery to use? So far CWM got me this far not sure if I should try others. Philz Touch seems to be more appealing and the same as CWM.
