D620R reboot problem after bootloader unlock and flash twrp+cm13 - LG G2 Mini

Hi
I have a problem with my D620R. The device reboots.
First of all, let me explain what I did. It had this version before I did anything: V20b-EUR-XX, android 5.0.2.
It was completely stock and I wanted to install CM13, so I did the following:
1. Rooted (link): installed kingroot > rooted > replaced it with supersu > updated bineries. Everything worked ok.
2. Unlocked the bootloader (link): downloaded "aboot_d620r_20a_patched.7z (264.4 KB)" from linked post and flashed it using "dd if=/sdcard/aboot_D620r_20a_patched.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot".
3. Installed TWRP 3.0.2. using RASHR as described here.
4. Downloaded and copied the latest nightly (cm-13.0-20160802-NIGHTLY-g2m.zip).
5. Downloaded and copied the latest gapps (open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160802.zip).
6. Made a backup via TWRP.
5. Cleaned the data, cache and system partitions. Flashed nightly and flashed gapps.
Everything went fine, as far as I could tell.
The problem is - it reboots.
I thought that it had random reboots but then I realized that it reboots at specific actions:
1. I open a (no-matter-which) app
2. I open the recent apps menu and "clean" the app >> SEE THIS VIDEO
3. It reboots.

Me too.

I'm having the exact same issue too, I think there's something wrong with the new updates. Try to download an older version to see if everything works alright for you (that solved my problem) [downloaded the "cm-13.0-20160731-NIGHTLY-g2m.zip" version]

[Q] How to safely update an installed rom - RR

Hi,
I've recently rooted my phone and installed my first ROM - Resurrection Remix - and it's notified my of an update (v3.1.3) and downloaded the zip for me. My question is how do I safely update RR?
When I first installed it I had to perform a number of steps wiping and clearing things before installing from a zip using CWM. Hopefully I don't have to do all of these as I don't want to have to completely reinstall every update, but do I have to do any of them still or do I just install from the zip in CWM without any other steps?

Have you read the first posts of the ROM thread?
Maybe there is a description of how to install the update.
If not, then you can just flash the update zip file in CWM recovery and try to reboot normally.
If everything works fine ... that's it.
If you have issues, boot into recovery, wipe cache and Dalvik cache and reboot normally again.
If that does not help, then you might have to wipe data (do a factory reset) in recovery.
But I think that these steps are not needed as you are already on this custom ROM.
(Usually you only have to do the complete wipe steps when coming from another / stock ROM - and the other way round.)
Good luck !
P.S.: Always create a nandroid backup before flashing. So you are able to "go back" if needed.

[Q] Rooted with Siyah, wanting to install CM, what next?

Hi all,
I really tried to learn everything about rooting and flashing and custom ROM, and I am already busy all day, but I still can't get out of all the technological abracadabra, and other existing XDA topics I didn't know if they worked for me too, it would be very awful if I brick it because I didn't understand something small.
I may seem a bit lazy, but could someone please help me in not too technological language and provide me with the correct links to install?
So I have an i9100 second hand. The battery is empty really quick and gets very hot sometimes, and I read that this could be changed by installing custom firmware, like cyanogenmod.
I already have installed Siyah. My current version is Android 4.1.2.
I read things about installing custom recovery or something, but there are no important data on my phone yet, so I assume this is not applicable for me?
Can you install GApps after installing cyanogenmod? Except Google play, Maps and Youtube I don't need/want any other applications I think.
So can anybody provide me with a (customized) step plan what to do to install the best fitting version of cyanogen mod?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi there,
Siyah kernel already comes with custom recovery, however, it is out of date now and will not install kitkat roms. You will need to install a kitkat kernel first before installing the kitkat rom.
Yes, you can install gapps after installing cyanogenmod, have a look in the xda forums for modular gapp packages since you don't want some google bloat ware. However, the latest cyanogenmod 11 has a small system partition and will require you to install small gapp packages such as the 20140105 gapps. Search up gapps package on google and click the cyanogenmod link.
Now to install cyanogenmod (I chose cyanogenmod 11 m9 snapshot):
1. Download cyanogenmod 11 m9 snapshot .zip file (should be at cyanogenmod website)
2. Download modular gapps package, but I strongly recommend to install 20140105 gapps package by cyanogenmod
3. Download kitkat compatible kernel (I recommend downloading Pedestre's apolo kernel)
4. Put them all on your phone
Now reboot into recovery with this button combination, hold: (vol+, power, home)
5. Install .zip --> internal sd card (or sd card 0, or wherever you put the zips in) --> select kernel zip
6. Reboot your phone
7. You will notice your phone will not boot into rom, that's ok since it will automatically boot back into the new recovery
8. In the new recovery: press wipe/clear, and swipe the bar to do the factory reset and wipe caches
9. Install cyanogenmod zip
10. Install gapps zip
11. Reboot your phone
12. If your phone doesn't bootloop or crash, you're all good. Note: first boot will take a while, be patient!

Many many thanks!
Only 2 questions; which pedestre apolo kernel do I have to download? There are a lot of version circulating it seems to me. And it doesn't matter that I already don't have a genuine kernel anymore?
And what do you mean with step 4? To me this step seems that I have to put CM, gapps and a new kernel in once (via reboot/download modus > Odin I guess?), but in later steps you say that I have to do those step by step.

Just follow This simple steps.
You are done
First download all the necessary zips(ROM,gapps, recovery) and copy them on your phone's external SD card and follow the procedure.

The apolo kernel you need to download is v7.1 for kitkat. It doesn't matter that you won't have the genuine kernel as it won't really affect your phone except improving battery life and performance.
What I meant with step 4 is to put the files onto your phone usng your computer (using windows explorer, like how you transfer files to other USB devices) while your phone is still on the operating system. After that (the following steps), you must install them in the particular order that I explained it in using your phones recovery software.
Hope this answers your questions, gsstudios
Hi, thanks for replying, but I am stuck on point 4/5
I finally found some time to work on it, so I downloaded the KitKat compatible kernel, the gapps and de CM 11m9.
They were in my download folder on the computer, and then I just copied those three .zip files to the internal memory.
Then I connected my phone to the computer with a USB cable, and I put the phone into recovery mode. But when I did that, the computer stopped to recognize the phone as an external disk, so I couldn't enter it anymore.
So what did I do wrong? (putting the files on my external SD didn't help either) And how do I install those zips, just unpack them if I solved the problem mentioned above?

Once you put everything on your internal storage you don't need your computer anymore.
In recovery you must tap on "install zip". Navigate to your location where you put everything.
First you install the kitkat kernel.
Afterwards you go back and tap on advanced, there you have to tap "reboot recovery"
You should see another recovery now.
Now you install your custom rom using "install zip", afterwards you install the gapps package.
When you are done with installing everything it's a good idea to wipe data and dalvik cache, in case you didn't do before.
At last you simply tap reboot.
Don't be afraid if booting takes more time than usual, it'll take longer the first time you boot.

How long is long (for after the kitkat kernel reboot)? I have a black screen now for more than 2 hours after I hit 'reboot', and after 5 minutes I tried to put it on again with just hitting the power button for 2 seconds (I didn't read that it could take a while) but nothing changed.
It had 90% battery when I started. Because I was afraid it was running out of battery I plugged it to the power grid. My phone was and is warm, so I assume it was stil working on something.

Okay sry I should have specified myself when saying it takes a while.
That's Max 5 minutes. So your phone seems to be stuck in Boot loop.
Cause for this is either you didn't wipe everything before flashing - try wiping again and reboot, or you flashed the wrong file for your phone.
I'll make it easy, assuming your phone model is gt-i9100.
Go here :
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-roms/cm11-android-4-4-3-for-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100sgh-i777/
Download cm11 and micro gapps from this site.
Afterwards download cwm kitkat compatible from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/cwm-kit-kat-compatible-t2546597
When you downloaded everything and put it onto internal storage go into recovery.
1. Wipe data and dalvik cache.
2. Install zip: cwm kitkat compatible
3. Reboot recovery in sections "advance"
4. Now you are in a new recovery again.
5. Install zip: cm11
6.install zip : micro gapps
7. Wipe data and dalvik
8. Reboot phone

So I did the kitkat install after wiping all user data and dalvik cache (and accidentally the normal cache too).
I rebooted it via advanced > reboot recovery. It rebooted within 10 seconds.
Then I installed the zips (CM and Gapps. To be honest: I installed the gapps the first replyer to this thread mentioned: 20140105)
And I wiped all user data and dalvik cache.
Should I now do:
1: advanced > reboot recovery
or 2: reboot system now (on the first screen you see when you're in recovery)
And then it should start up until I see the screen with apps, time and those things I think?

If you were successful i highly recommend to make a nandroid backup in recovery.
If you ever have problems booting your phone, you can restore this backup via recovery.
With titanium backup you can backup your apps and their data.

Samsung Galaxy S II (GT-19100) Cyanogenmod 12.1 Issues

yea so I am running before in cyanogenmod 10.1 with jellybean and I downloaded Cyanogenmod 12.1 from rom manager. I also downloaded gapps downloader from playstore to find gapps there.
I flashed Cyanogenmod 12.1 successful. I installed Gapps successful, too
I am now running in android 5.1.1 but when the phone starts, ALL THE GOOGLE APPS I INSTALLED STOPS. Even in the startup, all the google applications forces closes and the apps is not installed. When I looked in the settings>apps>all
the google apps is there but it is in my sd, it also shows com.google......etc and it is not installed in my device.
The android Keyboard (AOSP) also closes again and again so I cannot type when the phone asks me to input password in my WIFI. SO I AM ****ING STUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! ****ING STUCK
I wanted to try to flash it back to jellybean, but the Recovery my phone is running is the Cyanogenmod Recovery and there is no back up and restore option.
I want to fix this issue, I mean I still want to run my device on Lollipop. How can I fix this? How to make gapps work and the keyboard,
Take a backup of all your stuff in internal storage.
Download these files onto your SD card.
Kernel- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24407100847293132
TWRP- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960684130
Download the proper Pico gapps from this thread.
After that,
1) Boot into recovery
2) Install the recovery
3) Reboot your device again into recovery. If it does not boot into TWRP recovery then it means you're on an older version of CM 12.1., so flash the kernel first, then the recovery, and try to reboot your device into recovery) If it booted into TWRP then you do not need to flash the kernel.
In TWRP, select 'Wipe', and do a factory reset, after that's done, select install in TWRP and flash Pico Gapps.
thanks for the reply!
but do you think this would work?
do you think the cm recovery would accept this zip files, because I tried to flash my backup applications such as games, and other stuff and it showed err signature verification failed.

I have some gapps working now, THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE NOW IS THAT THIS ****ASS AOSP KEYBOARD UNFORTUNATELY STOPPED MESSAGE EVERY 2 secs AND I CANT TYPE,

there is no error anymore. i installed 3rd party keyboard. thanks mate )
i mean the gapps are working but when I sync my google acc, it syncing error. they are working but after for about 5 mins or later, com.google.process.gapps unfortunately stops so i cant use it and more error stuff comes out. I think I am having issues with GApps, basically. how the hell i can fix this. I tried so many gapps from the xda thread, youtube, and other forums for 5.1.x. still, they unfortunately stop.
Take a backup of your stuff.
Download GApps (ARM/5.1/pico) from this link.
http://opengapps.org/
Copy paste the .zip file into your SD Card.
Boot into recovery (TWRP) and wipe /data, /cache, /dalvik cache
After that is done, install the open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-xxxxxxxx.zip
Reboot your phone.
Now the unfortunately stopped error will be fixed.
that is what I have downloaded. I wiped data, cache and dalvik cache. and installed gapps
it says Insufficient storage space available in system partition. you may want to use a smaller Open GApps package or consider removing some apps using gapps-config.
NO changes were made to your device

[SM-G318ML] Multiple problems while trying to install a Custom ROM

Good morning to you all, and thanks in advance if you can help me.
I just received an Ace 4 Neo from a neighbor who asked me to 'make it faster' and 'newer'. Naturally, with the Stock ROM what Samsung overloads, I wasn't going to do nothing as close. I came to the always loyal xda and found the Mega Thread of Ace 4 Neo: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ace-4/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-12-13-ace-4-neo-ace-t3627637
I put into the phone the oldest Stock ROM available from the same origin country and carrier (TIGO - Paraguay), and after installed Custom Recovery TWRP 3.1.1-0 and tried to install a Custom ROM. There is where my problems started.
First, I tried to put CM13 or MIUI (Android 6.x) with no success. The phone when turning on just showed the model and stayed there. The only change was a red exclamation sign on the upper part of the screen. (Possibly, this will be helpful for you: When installing, the result said [ ] instead of [/system])
After 6 failures with each one, I desisted and instead tried with CM12.1 and this one successfully installed. I also tried to use OpenGApps Pico (as I really messed up trying to find how to install the GApps of the thread), and the phone turned on "without problems" (the CM in fact started, but the red exclamation point is still there).
After 8 minutes configuring the GApps, I configured the Google Account and such. However, I went to Play Store for naturally install WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter... The common things.
Surprise! The phone when installing suddenly rebooted. When turned on again, the home screen closed and opened 4-5 times in 20 seconds and rebooted again. It maintained on that loop over and over.
So, am I doing something wrong? Or do you know about how to fix any of the previous issues?
As a final note, because the Mega Thread doesn't have the classic installing instructions, after navigation for 2 hours I constructed this steps:
1. Reboot to Custom Recovery
2. Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Everything except Internal Memory and SD Card (Dalvik + System + other two things)
3. Install ROM
4. Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache (the button what shows there)
4. Install GApps
5. Wipe again Cache
6. Reboot
Again, thanks in advance.
Hi, @Pedreo1997. You need wipe internal storage, too.
Step-by-step install custom ROMs:
Flash oldest stock ROM with Odin.
Reboot system > use 1-2 minutes ( for sure )
Install TWRP 3.x.x
Wipe everything except sdcard.
Wipe > advance wipe > check system > option > repair
Install ROM and Gapps.
Reboot and enjoy

Please, I need your help

Hi guys, I need your help.
I've tried to update the rom with the latest beta Omnirom (30/06), directly from TWRP.
All the steps I followed, hoping it's usefull:
- removed the PIN from the system;
- made a full backup (from TWRP);
- installad latest vendor;
- installed latest Omnirom beta;
- wipe caches;
- reboot.
The phone is in bootloop; ufortunately, plus in TWRP the touchscreen is unresponsive and I have to reboot until it works.
I tried to flash just the rom beta or to restore the backup, without success.
EDIT: after flashing a older vendor and, again, Omnirom, the phone booted.
I don't know if it's related or not, but now, every app that I open, I see it in rotated horizontally, also if I have disinibited the rotation!
Any idea?
Thanks a lot,
Nic.

I never recommend dirty flashes.
I would say that your problem is more than likely because you didn't wipe the system clean and start fresh.
Since you've already made backups of your data, I would suggest trying these steps:
Boot to TWRP
Format data, type yes to confirm
Go back to wipe / advanced
Select everything except USB and SD card.
Swipe to wipe.
Go back to the main menu.
Reboot to recovery.
Now flash the latest firmware, ROM, gapps
Also flash DFE if you want to disable the encryption.
Wipe cache when done.
Reboot.
Thank you BentMetal.
As you see from the EDIT, I solved the problem flashing a older vendor and the same updated rom.
For the other problem (screen rotation), solved by disabling display setting (auto rotate) and re-enabling again.
Now I just need to remove the touch screen freezing problem... very annoying.
It's a specific issue about a part of Pocophone who use a different touch screen.
Nic.
