Lately i'm experiencing problems with flashing custom roms (i.e. UltimaROM , Xperianze, whatever)
What i did is:
1: flash the latest CWM , touch and non -touch with Odin
2: download ROM of choice , copy to internal SD-card
3: reboot recovery, fact-reset, wipe cache + dalvik
4: flash rom ( with aroma installer )
5: boot phone
with booting it keeps hanging on the Samsung i9300 logo txt. It doesnt matter which rom i flash. it always keeps hanging.
I've tried alternative methods like flashing TWRP and do the same as above but again, no success. I also tried factory-reset after flash, cache wipe etc. no success.
The weirdest thing is: when i try to flash CM or MIUI ( current running MIUI ) , it works like a charm, but normal "custom" roms are not approved it seems.
does anyone have a suggestion for me what to do? or explain what i am doing wrong , or even better, can explain why CM-based ROMS work?
Have you checked the MD5 of your downloaded ROMs when they are on your SD card? Format system, data and pre-load before flashing? Tried flashing an alternative kernel/radio before you boot the first time?
If only stock based ROMs are a problem then it maybe something that is unique to them, probably a direct hardware hit via the kernel.
Try returning completely to stock to test, flashing Samsung's vanilla EMB5 via Odin - including stock recovery and full wipe. If that doesn't work then you may have a hardware issue that CM or MIUI doesn't use.
yeah good idea to return to stock and try all over again.
to your other questions: no i didnt flash another kernel after i flashed the custom rom. i've tried with several kernels which options were given to me in aroma installer ( boeffla, syah, stock )
md5: did that
format system and data: nope. kinda relied on the fact-reset + cache/dalvik
what do u mean with pre-load?
if I were you I would format data & system again manually after the fac. reset thing, or even more clean use the mega wipe flashable zip to have a clean slate to start from (it will format anything but the ext. sd-card). Then flash the rom from your ext. sd-card and see how it goes.
additional possibly helpful hints
hi there,
i'm not entirely sure if this will help you but generally speaking i came made a few observations about the fact that some people, mostly repeatingly the same users, encounter problems with their custom roms and/or flashing them, while others don't, albeit they are using the same devices.
i my selfe use 3 different devices, all rooted and running on pac 4.3, always lates nightly, as there are GT-N7100 - GT-I9100 - Nexus 4
not to the point
a) other than most other users i usually clean cache and dalvik cache as well before and after flashing the new rom and/or new nightly
and never encountrer any problems except those which everybody, using the same rom and nightly encounters.
b) whenever i flash an totally different rom and/or upgrade and/or downgrade to another level of android os, i.e. from 4.2.2 to 4.3, i perform
a clean install, including not only a factory reset, but as well a format sd-card, format cache and format system etc., again i cannot proof
which of these steps make a or the differnce but however, i never have problems others than thosw which everyone has with a version.
c) when using cusome kernels and due to the fact that some roms come with a kernel included, as well as with a custom recovery included,
it is strongly recommended not to forget to flas the kernel again after each flashing the new rom. one good example ist dorimanx kernel
for GT-I9100 which will not boot into recovery and reluctantly boot at all after a new flash of a pac nightly without reflashing the kernel.
d) try to fix permissions on reboot instead of doing it from recovery. one reason is that not every recovery has this option and further i
found that when fixing permissions before the first boot after flashing a new rom, there might be bootloops, albeit i cannot explain exactly
why that should, but however, sometimes it's better to be on the safe sid.
e) try to run whether the lastes version of custom recovery for your device, and or the use the included custom recovery of the rom or the
kernel. this again is one thing that can help to avoid some unexpected and hard to explain bootproblems and/or fc's etc.
hope that i could give you some new ideas how to avoid trouble while using custom roms and other hacks

Fix permissions was removed because its useless. All permissions are set when flashing by way of updater-script. Fix permissions via recovery "guesses" the permissions which causes issues...
If permissions need fixing, then the updater-script is poor which means you should probably avoid flashing it.

thanks for the explanation which makes totally sense, so my feeling which i could not explain was right always better to learn exactly why than just guessing
no thanks button found in your post however, so i want to thank you this way.
regards
Flash this recovery on the community build: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=20236
And then flash the super SU file via recovery:

Let me know if this works or you need any help ?

I tried, and I can confirm it worked.
The only thing is that I can't get xposed installer to work properly. When I install it (v86 sdk23 arm) , every time that I tap on recent apps button, system ui crashes, so, I flashes the Uninstaller zip, and everything went well. But I miss xposed, if anybody has a solution, I would appreciate it
yes this is working

Using the latest Blu spark twrp from his thread I flashed v86 sdk23 arm.zip and didn't have any issues on 3.1.1.

Maybe the problem is not xposed itself, maybe the issue is related to an specific module. I'll try one by one tomorrow and see what happens, thank you!
Just delete the . rar part. This one worked for me I think your right though maybe bad file.

I know what the problem was. My xposed zip was correct. As I thought, it was because of a module. "Android N-fy", in recents, I just had to uncheck quick switch and change no recent image and that was it. I don't know if that module is optimized for this oos especific build, because in settings of the phone, the module does not change as much as in lollipop oos. Thank you tho
I have latest official TWRP rn on OOS 2.2.2.. Should I just flash(dirty flash or clean flash after wiping) it normally? or revert to stock, flash the ROM and then use fastboot to flash recovery by bluspark?
Worked fine. Thanks OP.
bootloop when flashed supersu zip on oos 3.1.1 with twrp v41 recovery
i just saw that you have to use modified zip , so no other file to flash
thanks and sorry for not reading properly

I want to get OOS 3.1.1 and also be able to revert back to OOS 2.2.2 if I experience any bugs or don't like it so, I want to know when should I flash TWRP by bluspark?

Make sure you have both .zip files on your phone, clean flash 3.1.1 then boot it up. If you don't like it, you can go back to 2.2.2 via stock recovery anytime. You don't even need twrp unless you want to root, install Xposed or backup.
might be a bit off-topic but...
i was coming from sultans cm13 build - flashed stock recovery - wiped system - installed the community build.
So far so good
System works fine, but wifi drains system like hell (37% usage)
So i installed bluespark twrp and wanted to wipe cache & dalvik/art at once
-> initially i got an error -> "can´t mount /cache - invalid argument" (or so) - tried only to wipe cache and then it worked on the 3rd attempt...
But - after restarting only 12 Apps are "optimized", altough i have 100+ apps installed.... so i expect some filesystem/partition issue
Did you ever have this behaviour ?
I´m thinking about to do a full wipe in twrp and reinstall the community build -> other suggestions ?

Sounds like you forgot to wipe data. Wipe system, data, cache and just flash 3.1.1. As for wifi drain it's not real and happens when you have wifi scanning on under location. Turn it off, reset network settings under backup/reset. Now reboot and should be gone. Turning off and rebooting might be enough but doesn't hurt to add network reset. Next cycle after reboot and full charge should be clean.

It's not the place, but I can confirm that it didn't work for me. I still have the drain from time to time.
And if I don't have the Wifi drain I have a service Google Play service drain (33% for today's charge for example...).
And sometimes, I even had the wifi drain with Wifi completly switched off...
I flashed a CM 13 ROM in my redmi note 3. After flashing I setup my device. I tried to entre in setting all is ok but when I tried to enable unknown sources in security setting is unfortunately stopped was pop up. I reflash the ROM and format device twice but problem is still there and facing same problem. Try this simple method written in the thread to fix this error.
#STEPS TO FIX THAT PISSING ERROR:-
1.Just flash cm13 radios zip before flashing the rom. paste rom you wanna flash,cm13 radios zip[gapps,xgapps] in your sd card.
2.Boot into twrp,take backup and wipe data/cache/dalivk/system.
3.After wiping go to install section and flash cm13 radios zip first after flashing that flash ROM and reboot.

I hope your problem will solve!:good:
basically i installed a magisk module that caused bootloop, uninstalled that module in twrp. wiped cache/dalvik just in case. phone got stuck on boot (not bootloop) with just the three 'thinking' dots above the android logo.
waited for about an hour before deciding something was up, so flashed magisk uninstaller.zip to remove the lot, wiped cache/dalvik again. (btw, the bad module was the only module i'd flashed)
now i'm stuck at the boot screen again, has been this way for coming up an hour, should i wait longer, is it optimizing my installed apps? or should i just resign to having to flash a rom again and reinstall all apps/settings etc?
foolishly i forgot to backup data before flashing the module. didn't expect this kind of headache!!
any advice please
its a bootloop. reinstall firmware.
Yep, firmware flash was the only way

Reinstall firmware means i just have to flash MIUI 9.2.25 vendor firmware for pie by Akhil Narang, or I have to flash entire stock Miui by downloading the zip?
Just the vendor firmware. Depending on what ROM you have, you can install a newer version than 9.2.25. I use 9.3.25 with PE.

You can try flashing only the boot.img file from the currently installed ROM's zip file
Hi, I've recently repaired my mido with a new screen after a fall. After this I tried some custom roms. Initially I managed to install lineage 18.1. After I switched to dotOS. From this point on, the phone restarts a few seconds after the launcher appears. To fix this I used MiFlah to install latest MIUI, formatted data, wiped everything, tried TWRP and Orangefox, tried other custom roms with no changes. Now only stock MIUI11 works. Other custom roms (included lineage) gets the phone continuously rebooting. Could be an hardware problem? What am I doing wrong? It is the first time in ages I have problems flashing ROMS .-.
Thanks.

The vendor partition could have some code/ file that persists stock ui or system
and make sure your phone was rooted before flashing custom rom
and also via twrp flashing. from what Ive seen flash in twrp before flash custom rom( https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=disable+encryption+treble ) then flash the "verity and encryption disabler ,theres another one to re enable encyption only " then flash custom rom
after flashing custom rom reboot poweroff(switch phone off via twrp)
reboot into twrp and flash whatever else you need
now reboot to system and your phone should work fine
Thanks, it worked!
I did:
Flash last miui with miflash
Flash recovery
Flash you suggested zip
Format data
Flash lineage 17.1 (android10)
WIpe system, data, cache, art cache
Flash any android 11 ROM

Holy **** how did you come up with this.
Either the zip with Magisk somehow fixed it or installing the android 10 rom somehow. Either way doesn't make sense

Didn't work for me,
- did all the steps , exactly - flashed stock fastboot , then flashed Android 10 based rom crDroid + pico gapps. worked fine for 2 hours or so .
but interesting enough , phone freezes then shutdown without restarting , then i would go and trun it back on , but fingerprint not working now

so if you have magisk you can use a zip file to chmod 744 or 644 (it may be "chmod root 744" )the /persist partiton and thatll mean only true root has access
so 7 is read write execute 6 is read and write 4 is read only 5 is read execute i forgot which number was execute only 1 maybe?
so play with the permissions or look in the root folder for boot.p or permissions.sh then you can modify in there the permissions, it can cause bootloop , so always keep an original copy or youll hae to reflash(DISCLAIMER)
so you can pull the file using adb+root / or a root explorer
Copy it to phone then edit then copy to SDCARD
reboot to twrp then use shell/terminal "chmod 777" the partition where the file is / or read write everything
then copy the file and overwrite the original
