Cannot boot android 6 roms - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having trouble getting any android 6 roms to boot. I had android 12 installed, went to twrp wiped and flashed cm13 it stayed on the boot screen for a number of hours, tried a few other cm13 roms with the same result. I then used odin to reset to stock android 4, flashed twrp 3.0.0.2 and then tried flashing cm13 with the same result. Is there something special I need to be doing for android 6? I need android 6 specifically help would be appreciated
Please dont reply about wiping partitions in twrp wiping cache dalvik etc ive done all of that

[Q] Unable to Flash CyanogenMod after Flashing stock Android 4.4 on Nexus 4

Hi All,
Last week, I flashed my LG Nexus 4 (16GB) phone with stock Android 4.4 (Official Image), before that I was on CyanogenMod 10.1.3 Stable.
Now, for some reason I didn't like the stock 4.4 and tried to Flash back my CyanogenMod 10.1.3 from CWM "Install ZIP" but the problem I'm facing is that it CyanogenMod doesn't boot, hangs on "Spiral Splash Screen". Then I tried Flashing CM 10.0 stable, still loops into boot forever and at times boots (after 15-20 minutes of booting on spiral splash screen) and doesn't recognise SIM card, Camera, Storage, WIFI or anything.
Then after getting fed up with this I tried flashing MIUI V5. This also takes a 15-20 to boot and fails to recognise - SIM, WiFi, Camera etc.
So lastly like a loser I flashed back my Android 4.4 it works fine.
I've my boot-loader in unlocked state.
and Yes before flashing CM or MIUI, I did - wipe data/factory, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache from CWM Recovery.
So I want to get back into CyanogenMod 10.1 stable. Help me out with this.

Hello Prakhar,
I would suggest you to first download the official image of Nexus 4 for android 4.3 and flash it from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and then you can try to flash CM 10.1.3 from the CWM Recover Console. Hope this helps!
I would also like to point you out to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers which contains drivers for your phone's camera, etc. you can download those binary and flash it one by one through your recovery console, which might fix your issues.
It worked !
Downgraded to stock 4.2.2 then Flashed CM 10.2 RC1 from CWM Recovery !
Thanks a lot U3ViaGFsbyA6UA==

Hi,
Of course it's not working! xD
Before installing any custom ROM's.. there's an important step: you need to unlock your bootloader. *smiles*

Boot Loop Problem persists after installing Lollipop ROM & clean install

I was using the Blekota Note 4(based on Kitkat) on my i9300 when it one day suddenly it restarted on its own and went into a bootloop and heated up. So I took out the battery and tried starting it again by clearing cache and dalvik cache. But it was still stuck at bootloop. After about 3 hours, somehow it came back on its own, but all the data and settings were lost. The downloaded apps were present, but their settings were lost.
Since I would have to again set up all apps, I wanted to try a new rom, Lollipop based. I downloaded the latest RESURRECTION REMIX (5.5.7) apps and downloaded the OpenGapps micro package. But after trying a clean install, the boot loop problem was still there. I tried with a different Gapp package, from OmniRom thread (all were for Android 5.1) but still no help. Even flashing the ROM alone would be of no help. I remembered I had a similar problem after flashing Boeffla kernel and the solution in that case was flashing a new version of the kernal. I tried that also. But no help.
I changed my recovery from CWM to TWRP as someone in some thread mentioned that it could help. But still No avail. In doing a clean rom, I tried almost 3 roms, cleaned cache, system, dalvik cache and even the internal storage and tried all other combinations. BUT THE SAME BOOT LOOP PROBLEM REMAINED.
As a last resort I had to flash the original 4.3 JellyBean firmware hoping that performing a clean install from that would help. But even after that the boot loop remains. Someone please help me flash a Lollipop based rom. This thing is driving me crazy now.
There's still 1 basic procedure: flash a 3part firmware with PIT-file for repartition.
Pit files should only be considered as a last resort.
Clear data and reflash stock rom and repeat once more. I have had cases where the rom didnt fully clear on a normal single flash.
Dont let it boot to rom. Do the two data wipes from recovery only.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

Can't Flash Custom ROM's

Hey Guys,
I have an unusual issue when it comes to trying to flash custom ROM's onto my Nexus 9.
I have already unlocked the bootloaded, installed the latest version of TWRP which worked fine.
I then went to do the usual wiping everything off my tablet before going any further (Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage and Cache)
Then I use MTP to move the ZIP's that I want to install onto the internal storage (I've tested CyanogenMod 12 and the latest version of LiquidSmooth (At seperate times) )
The install process goes okay and doesn't show up any errors.
Then when I go to reboot the Nexus 9, I get the static "Google" logo (the splash screen before the operating system's splash) and it just sits there for 12 hours until the battery slowly drains (litterally 12 Hours)
Any idea's how to fix this? I can boot back into fastboot and access the recovery. I can also restore using the softbrick option in the Nexus Tool Kit to boot back into a fully functioning Android 6.0 but obviously that's not the aim.
Thanks for taking the time to read this

I haven't flashed either of those ROMs but perhaps you need different vendor images or something.
What build # are you on?
The latest is: mra58n
I personally am on Pure Nexus, and I didn't have to flash anything besides the ROM.
I just got the tablet on the 40% off deal a few weeks ago, it came with an early LP build, I first flashed the mra58n factory image, then I unlocked bootloader installed TWRP and rooted and made a backup.
Then I flashed Pure Nexus and all has been running smooth.
I would suggest giving that ROM a flash - it's been updated to Android 6.0 and runs great and battery is amazing.

Thanks for the response, just tried flashing Pure Nexus to it but with the same thing happening. I know it's only been 5 mins so far but it surely should have atleast moved onto the OS's splash?
This was the version I used: pure_nexus_flounder-5.1.1-20150817.zip
I shouldn't need a working OS installed as the base due to the fact that installing a new OS would just overwrite it?

that is Android 5.1.1 Lollipop
We want Android 6.0 Marshmallow
pure_nexus_flounder-6.0-20151113.zip
If this doesn't work I would personally flash the mra58n and start over.
Make sure to wipe in recovery before flashing.

Yeah, I think he's right. Sounds like you have a mishmash of android 5.1.1 and 6.0
Start clean by flashing the latest factory image (bootloader, boot, system, data, vendor). Once that's running, then you can flash TWRP (I suggest using the custom TWRP found under the FireIce kernel thread) and install an android 6.0 custom ROM.
Whichever ROM you choose, make sure to read thru its thread carefully. There are a number of things that can cause bootloops, so be sure to follow the installation instructions for that ROM.

You should erase your internal storage. It happen to me I did the same steps that you did and I had to re flash the system files all over again. Once finish I only wipe dalvik cache,cache and data and it work perfectly

Not able to get lineage os working

Hello, I now have 8 days note 10 lite today I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP via adb after that I installed lineage os and wiping data etc. After that I faced a bootloop and lineageos bootscreen doesnt go away after 15 minutes.
So I tried to reflash the rom again, but twrp isnt able to reinstall the rom. I then used miflash to get original rom again.
Started all over installed twrp, flashed lineage os after this install after reboot I get everytime back into TWRP and looked on my pc and all files suddenly are encrypted on my phone and cant get lineage os rom again on my phone..
So I used miflash again and decided to ask here first. Does anybody know if I maybe use a wrong TWRP or missed a step?
I really dont understand it, I tried it for a 3th time. Here is exactly what I did.
- installed TWRP through ADB (TWRP-3.4.0-0_Android11_Roms_AndroidHQ254)
- In TWRP put rom on my internal storage
- Wipe Dalvik, data and cache
- Install rom (TWRP-3.4.0-0_Android11_Roms_AndroidHQ254)
- data wipe (where I had to type yes to confirm)
- Reboot to system and then it doesnt do anything and goes back into TWRP where I cant do anything, and I have to flash original rom back through MiFlash.
I run now MIUI 12.0.2
Android 10
Try using orangefox recovery. And i think you have to wipe data before installing rom, not after it.
