Bootloop on Lineage OS 14.1 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (d2dcm) lock on NTT Docomo Japan, there are unofficial development for this device but the developer discontinued making builds 4 years ago. The last build that the developer made was CyanogenMod 13 (CM 13) but there is one issue, the Sim Card was not recognize by the ROM although my device is already unlocked from the carrier. So i search up on internet but no luck, so i come up with a new idea, port the Lineage OS to my device. The Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T (d2att/d2lte) had the same specs with my device (d2dcm). First i downloaded the Lineage OS Nightly build (lineage-14.1-20171204-nightly-d2att-signed.zip) for the d2att, once i downloaded it i modify the updated-script and added my device id on it, the next thing i did was edit the build.prop and did the same thing. Then i tried to install it via twrp (i factory data reset it without wiping the data) then it work but there is one problem when i booted it up its stuck in Samsung Logo and it doesn’t want to boot, so i pull out the boot.img on my old ROM (CyanogenMod 13) and replace the boot.img on the Lineage OS d2att with from my old ROM. Then installed it again, the installation was successful but there is text written in red shown in the photo below

}
Then when i booted my device, the Lineage OS showed up but now it’s in bootloop stage, did i do something wrong? Or did i miss some steps? Please let me know, or please teach me, i really wanted to use the Lineage OS.

Stuck on recovery mode Sero 7 Pro while trying to install CM12

Hey all,
Tried installing CyanogenMod 12 on my Sero 7 Pro while following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297246 for files.
I successfully flashed Clockwork mod and had my device rooted. After following the steps in this guide here http://www.androidbeat.com/2015/01/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-cm12-android-device/ for installation, I then tried to install CyanogenMod. Upon doing so, I get hung up on this screen

and eventually I receive this message
I'm not able to reboot at all into android as I pretty much have no OS at this point in time. I tried sideloading the .zip on here and I get the same message. I also tried various other ROMs and received the same error message. Pretty sure I messed something up here... :crying: Anyway, if you guys can help me fix this issue, I would really appreciate it. Sorry for the noob question!
Thanks!
Well, seems like I must have installed an old version of CWM or something. Not sure. I decided to try flashing TWRP which worked. I tried again using this loader, and, for some strange reason, it hung up on the same screen. I decided to leave it and walk away just in case. After a few minutes I came back and it successfully installed! :good:
Running CM12 build by Meticulus! (Thanks!)

[Q] Phone has been locked, PIN has changed after trying a new ROM and IMEI were lost

Hello
I've been using XIaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro [Kenzo] and I'm very happy with this extraordinary value for money phone
However I have run into a big problem, I had been using a custom Greek Rom Called "GTV Version 6.9.29" which is based on MiUI 8.6.10.13 and was working totally fine, had no bugs, lag-free etc. and I wanted to switch to CyanoGenMod just to try it out and have a taste of Nougat
and install this ROM here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-0-t3461068
and I installed it using some version of TWRP ( I do not remember which one ) all I remember when I was booting into Recovery mode it was asking me If I wanted to keep the phone "Read-Only"

I did A WHOLE BACKUP OF ALL PARTITIONS, did a factory reset, Installed Cyanogen and phone booted CyanogenMod.
WiFI and SIM cards were not working and that sucked.
So I did a complete restore of the Backup I did, phone booted fine, WiFi works and SIMs do not work.
But it does not recognize my PIN which is 5314 and I'm 10000% sure that the PIN is correct and also it does not recognize my Fingerprint and I cannot unlock it.
I did a Google search and there was in MIUI 7 a Forgotten Password option and I cannot find it.
Please help and tell me what I can do, I do not wish to do a Factory Reset, that's why I did a complete backup
Thanks
Boot into TWRP.
Go to Advanced > Terminal and type these commands
cd /data/system
rm *.key locks*
reboot
Pin will be removed. Hope it helps.
I deleted them using TWRP File Manager, Phone is OK now and also I reflashed my ROM and IMEI were fixed.
Thanks a lot for your help!
try flashing cm13 firmware or whatever rom you are using.

[Huawei G730-U10] Problems, problems and problems trying to use a custom recovery.

I have an "old" Huawei Ascend G730-U10 which has a terrible..... TERRIBLE stock ROM, starting from the general stability of applications and the system itself to the fact that this phone was released to be never, ever updated; so I want to install a custom ROM.
But since I'm doing it, there are over 9000 bugs and problems, and maybe the only thing that went almost right was rooting (except for the fact that I'm stuck with KingRoot since SuperSU refuses to install).
First of all, I couldn't even request the unlock code the usual way, since the code to bring up the Product ID didn't work and I had to contact Huawei directly.
After getting the code, I booted into the bootloader, did "fastboot oem unlock *code*" and... I don't even know if it worked! No message appeared and doing "fastboot oem get-bootinfo" returns "FAILED (remote: not support on security)".
After finding both a TWRP and a Clockworkmod build for this phone (the latter one is actually for G730-U00, I don't know if it would work), I tried doing "fastboot boot *path_to_recovery_image*", but that doesn't work either, as it just hangs on "downloading 'boot.img'..." without doing anything (last try I left it there for 20 minutes). I don't want to already flash the recovery directly since I want to test if it works and I don't want to brick the phone.
Can someone help me?

[Help] Where to start with Mod smatphone?

Hello friends, I am somewhat lost with my xiaomi redmi note 3 pro (kenzo) and I need your help and advice.
The cell phone came with android 5.1 (a version that does not resieve any update modified by a Chinese store) and had an error when trying to unlock the bootloader, showed that it was unlocked, with MI Flash Unlock which was a lie.
With MI FLASH I put a ROM MIUI Developers (I do not know about the time, because the official site is in repair)
My version now of Miui is installed on my cell phone

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now when I try to unlock this image appears to me, I was waiting for it, there is no problem in waiting 3 days.
So far this is all very well.
This Monday I can unlock and I am a little happier but the questions are:
1) _ What tutorial do you recommend to install TWPR with OPEN Bootloader that allows me to install ROMs 8.x OREO?
2) _What do you recommend before starting and what stable ROM to install?
3) _flash SuperSU is the way to get root with the simplest open bootloader? Or what method suits me?
I ask because many tutorials are from 2016 and I do not think it is fully compatible with this 2018 and I do not want to leave the cell phone brick.
Sorry if I violated some protocol years ago that I do not post anything and I am somewhat lost android world.
Sorry bad english, and tanks.

I got some good results with no-verity-opt-encrypt !
Installed TWRP and installed that file now it is booting up again so for the next one who got this problem just try it and maby you will succeed.
Now installing and going to check if i manage it to install official rom without TWRP
I manage to install other firware for G950F but at device info it still says G950FD (D for dual sim......) my pc shows it as normal F version (Single sim)
How can i fix this?
