Try just installing the rom, no gapps and no supersu. Just wondering if its something to do with running out of memory/space. You could try repartitioning as well. I'm assuming you have no problems with kitkat roms?

When you did this full wipe, did you also wipe the system partition?

A problem with all JB 4.3 ROM I've tried

Hi, all!
I have that annoying problem with all the 4.3 ROM I've tried with no exception. Everything is fine until the first reboot. Then it's stuck on the first Galaxy SIII boot logo. I'm using TWRP - the latest version if it matters.
I always wipe everything first.
Please give more details on how you flash it.

If you did all required wipes and followed the instructions did you try a different recovery? I read in the SB thread for example of people having issues with TWRP
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
I am sorry for the wrong section. May I ask some to move it to Q&A?
I always wipe data, cash, dalvik cash, system. Then install the ROM and gapps...
After the restart I set up the google account and etc. And after the first restart the phone freezes. That's all.
I'll try with different recovery.
PS. I've just tried CWM recovery 6.0.3.3. and Omega AOSP v9. Still the same.
Try cwm 6.0.3.6 and after you install the rom and after its set up go to recovery and factory reset

That's strange, I run Philz recovery and every 4.3 flash till now went through without issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I tried all the recoveries I could find. Including Philz. Still the same.
And something else strange. I installed CWM, CWM, touch and Philz and with them I made backups. After restoration of the backup the phone freezes. I also tried to install Omega 49 and the installation goes OK, but freezes before the first start-up.
The only solution was to install manually TWRP (Odin) to restore some of my old backups. I'm beginning to think that there is something wrong with my phone. It's black if it is important.
Suggest total wipe of phone install your stock rom and test
Hi,
I just want to say I'm also having the same problem.
Started using TWRP with full wipe, same issue on 4.3 and no issues on 4.2.
On latest CWM same problem and 4.2 wont even pass the first boot on Samsung logo.
Also had to use Odin to get back on TWRP and flash a 4.2 rom again.
Anyway there is one more thing I would like to try but haven't had the chance to do so, is installing the latest modem and ril. But I'm kind skeptic about that currently because there is also some risks and my S3 is my daily driver.
Don't change the ril on any custom as you stand a big chance of breaking the calls and Tex's. Modem yes but not ril. Do change to cwm and retry.

Thanks for the info, I was planning to read more about it before I would make an attempt. BTW already tried CWM that only made things worse, couldn't flash any rom without getting stuck on samsung screen.

You are doing a full wipe?. System and data is the main thing to wipe not just factory reset. So go into mounts and storage and format data,system and cache there then flash the rom /gapps.

Start fresh and flash stock with Odin then try again after you root and install cwm.

Tried to go stock and flashed a 4.3 rom again that fixed my problem. =)
Thanks! :good:
I'll try it too. And one stupid question. Where do I find a stock ROM? I never did it before

Thank you!
But nothing helped. I flashed a stock ROM, with Odin. First I tried with TWRP, and the second time (again after flashing stock) with CWM recovery. I tried two 4.3 ROMs. They both can't boot after the first reboot.

2. Hard reset
3. Boot up and finish first run menus
4. Flash twrp with odin
5. Format data with twrp
6. Flash 4.3 rom

GT-i9505 - CyanogenMod 13.0 - cant get google apps to work

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.

You can actually flash a custom rom, and then revert back to miui, this would take time, but is much more easy, and has less chances to permanently brick your device.

how to do it, i have already downloaded rr rom and cm 14.1

ok, so first of all what you need is the cm firmware and the rom file, and also gapps if u need.
this is the firmware file - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634766008
Follow these steps -
1. Copy the firmware and rom file (and gapps if you have) to a place other than your phones internl storage like on an sd card or i you have a pc, then theres no problem, just leave the files on pc.
2. boot to twrp, here go to wipe and then select format data, here type yes and enter - this will wipe your internal storage. after that go back and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik.
3. now if you have a memory card inserted, with the rom files then skip this step, but if you do not,then connect your phone to pc using the data cable and copy the files to internal storage.
4. now firstly install the firmware,then the rom, and then any addons like gapps.
5. now reboot. you will boot to rr.
6. after booting, if you wish to install miui again, head to http://en.miui.com/download.html
and from there download the build you like, (choose redmi note 4x and there the global build)
7. now again boot to twrp, and format data, and wipe data, cache, system and dalvik. now copy the miui file, super su and the lazyflasher file.
8. install miui and lazyflasher, and reboot (it will say 'no os installed' but its fine, just reboot)
9. now after miui has booted, reboot to recovery, and install super su and lazyflasher, this should do it
thank you so much, i did it
super su should be installed first or lazy flash?

You have to clear dalvik/art cache after flashing supersu.zip and restart. It will boot loop one time and on second time the phone will successfully boot. Now flash lazyflasher and follow the steps again.

What caused my data encyption and how to resolve it?

I have already posted this issue on RR thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76694740&postcount=3973
However, I believe it is not issue related to RR only and don't want to hijack RR thread for this issue, so writing this in separate thread.
So, my problem is, all of sudden my phone can't start and it says Decyption Unsuccessful...
What I did,
I had following status before I started following steps.
Previous version of RR I have followed following steps for this ROM,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...opment/rom-resurrection-remix-v6-0-0-t3748465
Treble recovery installed.
Magisk installed.
No pin/pattern/password was set for lock screen.
I started following steps to again clean flash above RR Rom.
1. Wipe data + system + cache + dalvik cache
2. Flashed this ROM + pico gapps
3. Booted successfully
4. Preformed google set-up
5. Setting fingerprint/pin/password/pattern was skipped.
6. Installed whatsapp
7 . Flashed magisk
8. Installed Titanium backup and restored user apps (no system app or data restored)
9. Rebooted with wipe dalvik+cache
10. And this time I am stuck which says, Decyption unsuccessful.
So, the points I am not understanding are,
1. I never gone with data encyption on this ROM or any previous ROM, then what caused data encyption?
2. It says password I entered is correct, then why decryption failed?
3. I have not set any Pin/pattern/password/FP for this ROM? Still TWRP asks pattern. I entered pattern used for last ROM and it works. From where TWRP is getting this pattern? Is there anything to do with this issue?
4. Only formatting data partition only solution?
5. How to avoid such scenario in future?
I have attached snap of phone screen for this.
I'm sorry but I don't think there is any other way to resolve your problem. Do you mind telling me if you had reset your phone once before flashing any non MIUI ROMs?

No, I don't recollect I ever reset my phone.
You'll have to format your device to remove encryption.

Once I FORMAT DATA, will this issue resolved for ever?
If no, what can be done to avoid this? Because, once problem comes, you need to format and backing up your data again and again is troublesome.

Yes it will be resolved until you flash MIUI. Since you flashed ROM already i'd suggest to do it again (clean flash) this time properly to avoid further issues.
Formata Data then Wipe System/Vendor/Cache and flash the ROM, Gapps and Magisk.

Gapps Does not work after instaling custom ROM

Hi,
My problem is that I can not install any gapps on my GT-I9300 I have fleshed it with many different version of custom ROM, using android 7, 7.1, 6 and 5.1. Unfortunately regardless of the version of the gapps (nano or stock) installation ends up with error that google apps stopped working. The gaps version is correct for given android version. When I flash ROM only - no gapps - the phone usually works fine but only on Android v5.
When I try ver 6 ROM flash does not even start. With ver 5.1 it flashes but then get some apps error.
Any suggestions or idea? What can goes wrong? Where to start troubleshooting ? On the stock firmware the phone was working fine.
Thx for help
Did you clean flash it, like proper format data. And what rom are you using?

I tried at least 7 different ROMs. Before I flash, I run wipe data/factory reset then cache partition and dalvik cache at the end.

Sly Fox007. Now I'm not sure if I format the data correctly. I use ClockwordMod Recovery v6.0.1.2 not TWRP. Is this a possible source of my problem?
