Hi all, Am new to the Nexus9, I picked one up quite cheap and thought I would have a go at flashing a decent Rom. I am having no problems flashing a rom but every time I try and flash Gapps the Tablet gets stuck in a bootloop. I have tried lots of versions of Gapps but mostly arm64. I managed at one stage to flash one via the internal memory that seemed to work but then couldnt get Play sevices to work. Tried another but stuck in bootloop again.
At the moment I am trying a version of Slimrom and have tried Lineage 14.1. Anyone got any suggestions?
I normally flash a new rom in this order if the new rom is in my Download folder:
- TWRP Wipe advanced, tick System,Data,Cache.
-Back
-Install, go to sdcard/Download
-Select rom.zip
-after finish go back
-Select gapps64.zip
-after finish installing I press clean Dalvik and Cache
- Reboot system.
Wait a while and install as new device.
This should work.
With a normal update of a rom I simply install the update without wiping my system.

If you're using opengapps, they are having trouble booting on a fresh install on slim and LineageOS. Try an older build of slim or lineage, boot up and set up, then update to newest build.

I had the same issue with my NEXUS 9 wifi, but this solution mentioned here worked for me!
I am using:
lineage-14.1-20180920-nightly-flounder-signed
open_gapps-arm64-7.1-mini-20180923
Vendor Version: n9f27m
wanderweg you are my hero!
Mods make this stickie in the first posts....
If the system doesn't start after flashing with gapps just do this...
After flashing, mount system from TWRP, go to the "Advanced" tab, click on Terminal and type the following command:
echo "ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED" >> /system/build.prop
Just killed 2 days trying to figure it out and that's all it was.
P.S. Maybe roms can be updated to include the fix?

It's a gapps issue not a ROM issue. Every now and then the setup wizard is weird in opengapps.

I've been shuffling through threads for the past 2 days trying to find a fix a no luck yet so i'm making my own noob post.
yesterday after flashing CM7 to my atrix, I was trying to install the Gapps package and after that install my phone wont boot past the logo screen.
Im still able to access fastboot and get into android recovery. I've tried to wipe everything and reinstall cm7 but still nothing.
i read that some people were able to get this issue resolved using command prompt and fastboot commands, but im totally lost when it comes to command prompt and couldn't get working correctly.
any suggestions or fixes would be greatly appreciated

Just to be clear:
1. You successfully booted into CM7 after installing it? Then you went to install gapps and couldn't get past the boot logo?
2. Or were you trying to install gapps right after flashing CM7 (i.e. stayed in recovery and did not boot into OS)?
i Successfully booted into cm7 then went back into recovery to install the gapps package and after that install it wouldnt boot past the logo

Hmm, well that definitely rules out an outdated recovery, which is what usually causes people to get stuck at the bootlogo. If you can't even re-install after wiping, then I would just restore a backup and start over.
Maybe try getting a fresh download of the gapps package. You may have possibly had a corrupted download?
Are you running CWM recovery or Rom Racer's? I had a problem where I was stuck at the boot logo while using CWM (latest one) but when I switched to Rom Racer's recovery and flashed everything worked.
I ended up having to use an older CWM recovery and wiping the phone and SD card with a lot of help from a friend of mine whos knows more about this than i do

How did you prep for the CM7 and GAPPS flash? If you did not wipe correctly, there was a first indication you might have problems.
How long did you wait after the phone first booted into CM7? If you rebooted as soon as the OS was up, that's more than likely your issue. You need to wait 10 minutes to let the phone build system files after flashing.
Also, an older CWM would have, if anything, caused more problems. If you had the latest ROM Manager or Romracer CWM then that was definitely not your problem, so your friend using an "older" CWM wasn't helping any.

I have run into this issue before when flashing any apps that update an app that is already there. I have found that a Dalvik wipe is needed before the flash. It is good practice to wipe Dalvik at least when flashing anything that changes the System Files. I also wipe the cache Partition before any flashes just to help mitigate issues like this.
Hello.
I have only been able to install ViperX+ 1.08 ROM successfully. I wanted to experience other ROMs in comparison and have found ROMs specifically for this model, HTC One X Plus International, only to have them fail to fully install successfully. I have read up here on how to go about it and followed the steps dutifully but to no avail.
Does it make a difference on which Recovery you have installed for it to be successful or not? I currently have the latest TWRP 2.5.0.0 for my model. I have tried installing CyanogenMod and AOKP. CyanogenMod never makes it pass the installation because it fails right after attempting to install. AOKP installs but hang at the opening picture, and yes, I tried flashing the boot.img in Fastboot thinking that would solve it but it continued hanging anyway. Anyone have any help they can offer me? Thanks.

The aokp uses the 4.2 kernal so you will have to instal that. But I'm not sure on the recovery .. maybe it might be worth trying clockwork as if the twrp you are useing is especially for the viper Rom? Have a go at installing the different recovery maybe that will help and double check what you have to do to install on the thread hope this helps
Ilike the viper Rom... But if I get time tomorrow I will try for myself ... If no one else helps you out by the time I do it I will update you on how I done it and any problems I faced maybe I will end up in the same situation.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
Appreciate it. Insofar as the Recovery is concerned, the initial Recovery that I installed from the All-In-One kit when installing ViperX+ is different from the one I have now. Unless it is just a newer version, I now have Venom TWRP 2.5.0.0., just FTR. Thanks again, I will be interested to hear what happens for you.

TWRP is the ideal solution for our HOX+ - at least as of now.
I hope you are doing the following:
1. Wiping Data & System.
2. Installing boot.img.
The Venom customized TWRP does not have any issues because I also used it for some time (as of now I am back on the official TWRP).
You can download the lastes verison from here:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/enrc2b
And install it using Hox+ All in one toolkit by hasoon.
Make sure you wipe data & system before you install the ROM.
I also changed from ViperX 1.08 to ARHD, InsertCoin & Elegancia.. no issues
Hmmm. I'll have to putz around with it some more and see what happens. Thanks.
Here's a brief summary of what I attempted to do.
I wiped Delvik Cache; I wiped Cache; I did Factory Reset; I wiped System.
Next I tried installing CyanogenMod and received the following error messages:
assert failed: getprop
E: error executing updater binary in zip
Error flashing zip
So I wiped everything again and tried installing AOKP. It successfully installs. I try rebooting prior to flashing boot.img. It hangs on horse picture opening screen. So I flash the boot.img in Fastboot and reboot after erasing cache. When rebooting it hangs on opening white screen.
I'm baffled. What am I doing wrong?

I guess your recovery is not able to detect that your phone is one x+.. that's why assert failed error.. try changing the recovery( maybe CWM) and try again
Through trial-and-error, and reading hard, I figured out I had to install a compatible Kernel. I then was able to install, successfully, AOKP and it seems to work very smoothly. I'm just learning the ins-and-outs of everything. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I was running BeanStalk-4.4.270 03/18/14 by zymphad. Im not sure what the kernel was.
I tried flashing the ROM by ronasimi in this thread.
The ROM that i picked was cm-11-20140817-UNOFFICIAL-geeb & the kernel was gbx-kernel-lights-CM11.0-CAF.zip. Apart from this i picked the Google Stock package of PA GApps from here.
For flashing i did the following :-
1. backed up all my apps using TB from BeanStalk.
2. loaded the ROM, the kernel & GApps zip files into a folder on my sdcard.
3. rebooted into recovery(TWRP 2.6.xx), backed up my original ROM and lined up all the three flashable zips and flashed them. (The flash was successful)
4. Then i rebooted into system. But after reaching the home screen, i was getting errors "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped" & "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". I remembered it might be because i forgot to wipe dalvik & cache.
5. I again rebooted into recovery, wiped dalvik & system cache and tried booting into system. It was still giving the same issues.
6. I tried restoring my old ROM's backup. Surprisingly even that wouldn't solve the issue.
7. So i again flashed the CM11 ROMs. But this time, the boot process is getting stuck at the boot animation.
My Qs are as follows:-
1. Did i miss anything or do something that is not recommended (or maybe even dangerous)?
2. What should be my next step in resolving this issue?
Any help appreciated.

I tried flashing using TWRP but the flash failed. then I saw the video and thought of giving philz touch cwm a try. it worked like a charm. Thanks a lot for the help. For kernel I flashed gprojx-kernel-lights-CM11.0-CAF-20140414.zip. Everything seems to be working now. Only thing is that I can't seem to turn off NFC. Every time I deselect the check box, go somewhere else and come back, the NFC check box is already checked.
Any tips on that? It's eating up my battery

Hello! So as a lot of you may have heard, a lot of people are having problems with lollipop ROMs bootlooping on first boot and not starting up at all! So, I have the same issue. I have a t0ltetmo (Galaxy Note 2 on T-Mobile). And whenever I install a lollipop ROM with the gapps, it says "android is upgrading", and when that's done, it goes into an immediate endless bootloop! I can't get it to work at all! Any ideas? Thanks guys!
you can post your question here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/help/qa-cyanogenmod-12-unofficial-t2976843
Thank you! I'll move this over there.

Try to boot device without gapps
Then if you device is started good, go into recovery, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. Then flash gapps.
I recommend you to download pico PA gapps. That is the smallest package. Only playstore and google play services, that is enougt. Try this.
Give feedback

I haven't yet tried it with the PA gapps like you said, although I should also add that the ROM doesn't boot without gapps either! I even went as far as formatting my internal memory completely to rule out that it wasn't a file on the internal memory! Same thing, "android is upgrading" (which i've never seen a ROM do after installation) and then a bootloop.
EDIT: I have been using these lollipop gapps. https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps
Bump. Still haven't been able to get this working no matter what I try!
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.
