I recently flashed my Lenovo P780 which was running 4.4.2 to MIUI V5 4.8.27 ROM using the guideline mentioned in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/len...iui-v5-4-6-2-jb-4-2-lenovo-p780-dual-t2795361
I also used the recovery image mentioned this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605 using mobileuncle.
I followed every step mentioned in the thread and flashed the rom. Now my device is booting but is stuck at boot. All I can see is MI.com logo. It is stuck like this for more than 30 mins.
I am unable to go back to recovery mode also. I don't know what to do. Please someone help!!
Ok. I solved the issue. Since I flashed the ROM when my Lenovo was running stock kitkat 4.4.2, the MIUI was stuck in bootloop.
What I did was I reflashed my P780 with LIFE ROM V7 using Flashtool. Then I flashed MIUI using TWRP. Now it works fine.

Yes, I also did the same thing. Life ROM is Savior with TWRP recovery built in. Whenever, I had a wrong flash and my mobile is dead, I returned to this by flashing with SP Tools, boot straight into TWRP and then restored my previous working ROM or tried flashing another ROM.
Welcome to MIUI world. I am sure you will enjoy this ROM. Go for OTA update to 4.8.30 which worked like breeze for me. Try the Android V5 Dark theme. You will love it.

Oh! I was going to ask whether OTA update to 4.8.30 was safe. Thanks for letting me know.
My lenovo softbricked after I tried to OTA update MIUI 4.8.27. Then, as you guys said, I installed Life Rom V7 and when I tried installing either MIUI 4.6 and 4.8.27 through TWRP, Roms got installed without any boot issue but I couldn't open any of the apps, even system apps like Dialer and File Explorer. Any suggestions? I would really love to go back to MIUI. May be there is a way to repack it and install through Flashtool?

Soooo... MIUI is for Jelly Bean not for KITKAT.
DO NOT FLASH OVER KITKAT.
IF YOU FLASH OVER KITKAT YOU WILL HAVE ALOT OF PROBLEMS LIKE: YOUR SD CARD WILL NOT WORK(THIS IS THE SMALLEST PROBLEM), BOOTLOOP,BOOTLOADER CORUPTED, ETC ETC.
SO BE WARNED...
If you want to test MIUI do this:
1. Flash stock s124 ROM;
2. Download Framaroot and root your phone;
3. Install Mobileuncle Tools;
4. Get TWRP 2.6.3.0 no other;
5. Flash TWRP with Mobileuncle Tools;
6. Download MIUI and put it in your phone SD Card;
7. Install from market Reboot Manager, give root right and reboot to recovery;
8. From SD Card flash MIUI wipe cache dalvik etc etc;
9. reboot and voila MIUI.
10 Good Luck.

Hello!
I have a problem with my Jiayu G3, I rooted it using Bin4ry's method, and used CWM to flash Android 4.1.2 , all was finished well, but whenever I tried to powe the phone , it always went into a boot loop. I read somewhere to try and flash Lewa Recovery using CWM, and now the G3 won't even boot into CWM and Android.
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

I think you will have to flash a new rom using mtk sp flash tool. You may have to try several versions before one works. Jiayu.es (in Spanish) should have all the files you need. Or, hopefully you made a backup and can just reflash cwm recovery and restore.
------------- SOLVED! --------------
Hello all,
First of all I want to say I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs etc.
Currently I'm at stock 4.3 Jellybean and I want to flash my SGS3 to the new CM 11 ROM.
I rooted my phone following this tutorial: vvvvvv.telefoonrooten.nl/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s3-root/ (sorry if its in Dutch, but it uses the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3 and Odin).
After I rooted I copied both the CM11 ROM and GAPPS to my external SD, I went to recovery and tried to install the new custom ROM but I got an error (status 7) and it was aborted.
Also if I try to reboot it won't boot normally as it should be but it goes back to recovery mode automatically...
I fixed to get back to Jellybean by flashing the stock rom (unrooting?) it via Odin.
Anyone else got the exact same problem as I do and knows a solution to be able to flash CM 11?
Thanks in advance,
Steelbear

please read the thirst post in a rom/kernel/whatever thread. and maybe if you havent done it already you should also read the stickies in general section.
FAQ (Read before post !!)
- If you obtain Error 7 when you tried to install ROM in CWM or TWRP
Install the latest version of CMW or TWRP
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
BTW latest philz touch recovery works too
Since you went back to stock and you already know how to root, I suggest you go to Play Store and download ROM Manager to help you install latest CWM recovery on your device.
Or you can simply go to CWM website, pick the version of the recovery for your phone and flash it via Odin.
Hope it helps.

Indeed it worked! I found it out myself yesterday. Went to the CWM site and downloaded the latest version (6.0.4.4.) and flashed it through Odin. But thanks for your input anyways (to all who replied) !
An alternative solution that I often use is to open the Updater Script in META-INF folder in the ROM's zip and delete first lines, where it gets device model as property.
Obviously it's an UNSAFE operation (because that lines avoid to install ROMs of other phone on mine) but when I'm sure that ROM I've downloaded is for my phone I do it and it works

Hi,
My Sprint Note 3phone is currently using a Kitkat ROM and TWR recovery. I tried some Lollipop ROMS. After flash the ROM, the phone boot to the page of Android setting, then the UI crashed and the phone reboot, showing Modem error.
Anyone has similar experience or have any idea why this happen? Thanks a lot.

Hey bud first can you get into download mode ? If so great, now back up all your ( music, video, pics ) to the desktop of your PC or sd card. Download a fresh copy of Lollipop 5.1.1 to the desktop of your PC. Boot into download mode and odin flash the stock lollipop 5.1.1 OS the modem comes with it. Then root it and odin flash a TWRP recovery version compatible with lollipop. Now make a back up of your rooted lollipop OS, OK now your ready to flash lollipop ROMS !!!

Hi, I am trying to install cynogenmod or mokee rom and the device always gets stuck at cyno/mokee logo. it never goes beyond that. tried to wait for half an hour(waited for one hour twice).
Here is what I am doing:
I used TWRP but it wasnt working so i installed CWM, in both the recoveries I was wiping everything except sd card storage as my zip files were in the card. after that i flashed zip files(ROM & GAPPS). after that i rebooted to system. Am I doing it wrong? I am currently on 4.4.4 stock rom. Need help.
Thank you.

The problem wasn't with the recovery and I wasn't doing anything wrong. It was really too bad to know that the rom version I was installing had a bootloop bug in it. So I had tried two previous versions but they too had the same bug. And unfortunately I tried CONTINUOUSLY for two long days to install those same bugged ROMS as if God has put me in frustration mode. Tech fooled me right, lol.
Grab the November 8 version of Cyanogemod. There are issues with the newer updates.
