Which ROM/ROMs are you using or have tried? What steps to flash the ROM are you using?
Try the following method:
1. Flash any Lollipop compatible recovery, such as Apolo TWRP.
2. After flashing, reboot into recovery, and not into system.
3. Wipe Data, Cache, System and Dalvik Cache.
4. Flash the Lollipop ROM, GApps, and SuperSU.
5. Reboot System.
That should do it. If you're still stuck, then don't hesitate to ask. Also, this is not the correct place to post your question. You have to use this forum for all the Q&A.
Regards.

thanks bro

SlimLP - Beta#12 [UNOFFICIAL]

Endless bootloop. I´m going crazy, pls help me

Can anyone help me please ?
If I try to flash any ROM (Tried to install paranoindandroid, Ressurection Rom, Slim Rom) I get stucked in endless bootloop. From time to time the phone boots ROM, but only thing that happens is that I see "Enter your PIN code" for like 1-2 secs and then phone restarts and bootloop continues. Fortunately, I have Nandroid backup of my previous ROM which is old like hell (It´s RebelAOKP 1.3 ROM) so I can download other ROMs from xda. I tried full wipe, flashing other kernels, flashing ROM several times, fixing permissions and I don´t know, everything what is in CWM.
I´m so frustrated, whole day I´m searching for solution but I can´t find anything helpfull so I hope that someone will help me. Please be good to me I´m little bit noob but flashed lot of ROMs and this happens to me for first time. I will appreciate every response.
THX for your help.

Ok. I'm using paranoid too.
- boot to CWM recovery
- If you don't have a backup, please do it now
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe dalvik cache
- flash paranoid ROM
- Reboot recovery (under Advanced)
- wipe data/factory reset
- format /system (under mount and storage)
- wipe dalvik cache
- flash ROM
- flash gapps (gapps 4.1)
- fix permissions
- reboot phone
All should be fine now.
Note: this is not a standard flashing method. I only tried as much as possible to remove possibility of another round of bootloops.

Something must have gone wrong somewhere. This shouldn't happen, normally.
Restore your backup. Sorry about that.
Can you confirm if the MD5 sum of the zips corresponds with the ones provided by the Rom developers?

I tried this with Siyah kernel once and nothing happend. But I´ll give it a try again.
EDIT:
OH, God. I tried different stock ROM and even the new stock ROM wont boot... after i restart mobile, I´m in factory mode :-/

.Open up Platform-tools folder and hold Shift+right click on an empty space within the folder.
.Click on "Open command window here"
.In the command window, type "adb logcat"
.Plug in device & turn it on
.It should do a logcat
leave it for about 1 min then disconnect device. Right click the logcat and select mark then highlight all and right click again. go to pastebin.com or something like that then paste it and save and give us the link.
hope this helps

[Q] "Custom Stock (Codename: ETERNITY)" android™ Galaxy S II rom

hello to all
well i have tested a few ROM´s but the Custom Stock Rom (Codenam: ETERNITY) is one of the best in my opinion.
I have flashed this Rom, and it worked realy fine, my first mistake was that i did not make a backup, and my second mistake was that i have tried to flash some Mod´s.
After flashing a few Mod the Rom does not working correctly, anway i though i reflash it again, but that was not so easy as i thought.
After four time flashing, it did not work, so i thought, i flash the Original Samsung Firmware (i downloaded from Sammobile) so after flashing i rooted my S2 again and the Rom Eternity download it again, and save it in my mobile, in CWM window, i have follow this instructions.
Installation Pocedures:
If you're coming from ICS Roms, Stock Roms, AOKP/AOSP Roms or Custom Roms:
Download the zip file.
Put it in either internal or external SDCard.
Reboot in recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache.
Go to Mount and storage, format preload.
*If you do not have fromat preload in recovery (Except Philz and Jeboo kernels), Please go to Other Links section on 1st post to get the GS2ROMWipe. Then, run this in recovery*
Install the ROM.
After installation finish, reboot your device.
The first boot will take several minutes.
Please allow 5-10mins to let the media scanner to finish after configuring the Setup Wizard.
Then, open up SuperSU App and update it.
But it did not worked, later i have follow the instructions from the Video, the same problem.
I see only on Screen : " Samsung Brilliantly Stock Custom Stock ROM"
Please allow 5-10mins to let the media scanner to finish after configuring the Setup Wizard.

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.

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.

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.

Samsung Note 2 SHV-E250K Bootloop problem

This phone is the Samsung Note 2 SHV-E250K.
I have had the this problem occur after a backup. I was messing about with boot animations and when I followed a tutorial on changing it, I ended up with a blank screen as my boot up. I had created a backup before it so I restored. I rebooted and suddenly I was stuck in a bootloop where the olleh splash shows up and then stays there. I followed tutorials to get rid of the bootloop but it has stayed. I wiped my data, the cache, the dalvik cache and even done a factory reset to try and fix my problem. I am still plagued with this. I was wondering if anybody can help me please.
The phone is rooted with TWRP as the recovery. I really need help with this.
Thanks.
Either this or that :/
Two things you can do:
1. Download the firmware from Sammobile and flash it via Odin
2. Download a ROM (Preferably Cyanogenmod) and wipe system -> wipe data -> wipe cache and flash the rom, followed by gapps
Hit thanks if it helped you!

Do I have to have CyanogenMod or can I have any ROM?
Like an AT&T Rom and then flash the SJKernal
Let me phrase this better. Cyanogenmod isn't available for my device, but it is available for the AT&T version. Would it be possible for you to give me a step to step guide on how to install that along with touchWiz because I want to keep the S-pen.

I'm not quite used to a Note 2. I've even read about ROMs for the Note 2, but I think the S-pen would be out of the question.

CyanogenMod 11 boot problem?!

hello xda,
i tried to insatll CM 11 on two SGS3 GT-I9300 and after installation first boot to CM, for any reason if i restarted the phone or power it off the device will power up showing the first Screen of Galaxy S3 model then will go in deep black screen like the phone missed the CM boot file.
Here is the procedure i used to follow, please bare with me and tell me where i did mistake
1- Rooting the device using CF-Auto Root (Optional as i think since there is no KNOX in 4.3 version)
2- Flashing TWRP Recovery using Odin
3- Using TWRP to flash both CM11 stable version and GAPPs
4- Reboot (CM works like charms!!!)
5- Any reboot happen, phone will power up showing the SGS3 Logo then goes in deep black screen!!
please give a hand and help me guys.
