[SOLVED]Recovery and rom flickering after installing cm10.1

I factory reset ace2, installed cm 10.1 by using the temporary recovery, and then read that i need gapps.
I forgot to transfer them to sd card so i started sideload. However i couldn't send files over sideload and not knowing how to return to previous screen i held power button till it shut down( i didn't press reboot now on main cwm screen).
Then the nightmare began. screen is flickering almost constantly, and recovery is almost unusable. except by counting number of scrolls.
The main problem is that this is sister's phone, and she's gonna kill me if i don't fix this quickly.
found this by googling

1: You didn't really need them: if only you booted without, copied the zip afterwards, wiped cache+data and installed the gApps...
2: Neither can I (using Debian here), it just quits immediately.
3: Bug, if you can call it so, in CWM. TWRP has a working "cancel sideload" button.
4: Reflash a complete firmware like MB4 (but since recovery is part of the kernel, even MG2 and MC8 should work...)

Thanks, i fixed by flashing the original firmware and then flashing again normally

minor bugs in cm10.1 build 13/12
Sorry OT
@Rox sorry I call you again, again n again :fingers-crossed:
about flickering when play high video in cm10.1 last build
I use s6d27a1 screen driver, I try to fix by replace boot.img n folder modules in system/lib with build 17/11

The information provided by you is not sufficient.There are some points i would like to know about.
Have u rooted your device?
Are you flashing through ODIN?
ROM version?
Did you make data wipe/ cache wipe before flashing over a previous firmware?
There are many threads associated with this.So please take a look over that.If you don't find answer then we are here to help you

Thanks for Calling me "Sir". But seriously no need to say it. Say it to real developers.
Now coming to the topic,
For your information,keep in mind that when u flash the Official firmware through ODIN, You loose the root access.
Don't restore any backup. Just flash through ODIN. After flashing Wipe Cache and Data wipe is recommended too.
To gain the root access again you need to flash recovery from ODIN.
Other members looking at this this thread please correct me if i am wrong .I still not getting which backup the guy is talking about.

oh sorry sir, i'll make it clear, my last firmware is 4.2.2 and my rom is GENNEXT, but when i encounter the problem, i tried to go back and flash the 4.1.2 stock firmware, then later i discovered that i have a backup from my previous rom(GENNEXT running 4.2.2 firmware) so i flash again the 4.2.2 stock firmware and flash the philz touch recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache then restore the back up, then my phone is restored but theres another problem sometimes the screen blinks and the phone reboots in a few minutes after the startup.

OK. Then it may be the problem with your GENNXT ROM cause the problem occured after restoring Backup.Try the fresh install of latest build of GENNXT rom.

i already tried it sir but it didnt solve the problem, it passes the setup but after a few minutes the phone reboots.

You might want to try one of the AOSP-based ROMs (CM11/Slimkat/Carbon/Omni/ProBAM) and see if it fixes the issue. If it still reboots even after installing one of those ROMs, then you probably has a faulty hardware. If it stops rebooting,then you probably has a corrupted installation of stock firmware...
Faulty hardware = get it to a service center, but be prepared to pay some bucks because you have already lost your warranty...
Corrupted stock firmware = try to flash the firmware again via Odin but DON'T RESTORE ANY BACKUP. If it still reboots, redownload the firmware package and reflash.
I'm not an expert, but I figured that your phone is already unusable by constant rebooting... let's just solve it by trial and error.

This is probably the best explained and most direct definition of what to do and what may be happening with our ever-rebooting Grands.... Thank you!!!

Had to create an account to thanks naufalhadyan
I was running on LineAgeOS 13.0 for a while until yesterday, when I went to install some random play store app and it crashed then went on a infinite rollercoaster with absolutely no fun making loops every time it got of the boot animation, did a factory reset, on the 2nd or 3rd app it crashed and looped, flashed another .zip with the rom, same, installed an RRemix on the same version (I like the 6) and when installing another random playstore it crashed the same way, now i'm on a AOSP 6.0 flashed from the recovery and so far i've been downloading the entire play store (just for kicks) and its smooth.
I don't use come to this troubleshooting section but on the last 24 hours there were some major bugs regarding endless loops, maybe a play store update came bugging our grand duos'? Is that even possible?

Even iam facing the same issue
phone reboots automatically and doesnt even start... infinite bootloop. Was working fine and suddenly this issue came up from nowhere(past 2 weeks) ..
Iam using Resurrection rom 5.7.4 (Marshmallow)

Damn I was on AICP 11, when this exact strange bootloop problem occurred for no rhyme and reason. I know the hardware is fine, the issue arises from installing apps from playstore, the moment it goes beyond a certain app limit in the device, it will start endless bootloop, I am sure this is Google's doing. Anyways this is not a hardware issue and I know more people will be coming here looking for answer to this issue. I have tried both the opengapps and deltagapps, same behaved this way, it never happened before and lately google have introduced one other app which is google's android instant app that will sit in your device, even though you need it not not. very well google for using our precious internal data to around 500Mb to 1Gb.
formating data partition solves this issue, temporarily but you lose your apps and data.
I had successfully avoided this issue when I stopped installing more apps on my device, It took me 2 tries and I found a perfect balance of 4-5 apps, it came crashing again when I tried installing the 7th app.
I don't know if other ROMs will be able to handle this bug, but I know it's time for me to look for another ROM, I was happy with AICP 11, for more than a year. Sad.
Reading about this issue, I came to know this is prevalent on all CM marshmallow based ROMs. So, going to flash Nougat or kitkat or the stock ROM should probably fix this.

Try a new battery.

[Q] Problems with [1.2.9] AOSB Project - The End of The Line !

Hello!
today i flashed the new ROM. First I had problems with my ROM Manager but after I updated that everything looked fine. I could install the ROM but when the phone finaly booted I could only unlock my SIM card but after that every application crashed....
I followed the instructions. The only thing I ignored was the kernel...
Copy the downloaded AOSB to your phone.
update recovery, is required for install android kitkat
Boot into your recovery
Back up your ROM
Enter recovery
Make full wipe "included "system"
Select Recommended kernel for first install - > which kernel is recommended/how do I select it??
Install the ROM
install GAPPS package - download it from here
Reboot - the first boot can take up to 2 minutes
Recommended to Reboot again after ROM is up for the first time
2 second to up ! and 1 second to restart or shutdown ! it is AOSB
could this be the reason for every application crash? And how can I fix it?

I think the kernel stuff is here because on others devices there are differents kernels.
On Vision, the recommended one is inside.
If not, the aroma installer would give you a choice.

So what else can cause all apps to crash

There is no aroma installer. I can just install the ROM without any choise. So what else can cause the phone to crash?
I can only enter the PIN, then pull down the status bar and "confirm" that all applications are closed or couldn't be started. :crying:

my installation was smooth I used 4EXT
1st backup system did :good:
2nd format and system date cache
3rd boot and tested all for a while ok
4th installed GAPPS form here CM11 http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps small package :good:
5th boot and everything ok

So it's maybe the SD card?

My SD card is formatted is FAT32...so change this to 4EXT should help me?

No keep sdcard fat32, 4ext is the name of a recovery and Frogkiller was suggesting to use this one.
What I would do is check md5sum of ROM and gapps to insure you don't have a bad download.
Be sure you have a compatible recovery (latest cwm, 4ext or twrp)
Wipe everything again
(Probably even fastboot wipe or use a superwipe script)
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Reboot
(And stay away from ROM manager)
If this still doesn't work give some more info on phone, write down everything from bootloader screen, version of recovery, etc

Hi. I have an issue with 3G/Wi-Fi connections. After some time of Wi-Fi or 3G turned on connection to the Internet is not avaliable. It is showing me on status bar that Wi-Fi/3G is running correctly but whenever I'd like to open some web pages there's an info about not being able to connect to the Internet or when I'd like to download an app from Play Store it is simply not downloading. The only thing which helps is rebooting my HTC. It is annoying and I'd like to ask if there's anything I can do about it. The same was happening when I was using CyanKat 1.0.
EDIT: After a few hours of not rebooting device (the only possibility of making internet connection to work correctly) I see that the Wi-Fi doesn't even want to turn on. There's an info about Turning the WiFi on and nothing happens at all.

Solution!

This is a kernel problem. But for turn on WiFi reboot your phone then you can do it

Can you tell me which kernel should I use? I've already updated recovery to newest 4EXT recovery.
EDIT: Flashing no matter what kernel ends with dead device. It tries to turn on but it doesn't happen. I obviously do something wrong but I can't figure out what it is on my own. Can I ask for some little advice?

I don't have an answer to your problem but just for the record I haven't had any problems with wi-fi. Back and forth between work and home, I was at a convention yesterday and turned off wifi to try and conserve battery, got home and turned it back on, then upgraded to 1.3.0.
So that being said it may just be you, sorry. I don't remember ever changing the kernel but it's been about 3 years since I installed CyanogenMod, and then about 18 months ago I tried a bunch of other ROMs (to great disappointment before switching back to CM7) so who knows what I actually did at the time.
I hope you figure out what causes the issue and manage to fix it, I have been extremely happy with this AOSB ROM, it's pretty amazing.

Ok, I recently installed Llama so it would automatically change stuff when I go between work and home. This includes turning the wifi off when I get to work (so I don't keep getting the "there is an open wifi" message for the wifi I can't connect to). When I get home it's supposed to turn the wifi back on: it did not. Manually trying to turn it back on it just sits at the screen saying "Turning on wifi" (or whatever the exact words are).
So yeah, there does appear to be a bug with the wifi. I'll check my logcat later, see if I can locate a problem but I doubt I have the tools to figure it out. In the meantime I guess I just don't turn wifi off.

Has anyone else had a problem with the Google "navigation" app? Tried using it for the first time this weekend. In the basic map I had no problem, it knew exactly where I was and the direction I was facing, but when I actually started navigating and it brought up the new app it was very inaccurate and showed me facing north always.
I'm just going to downgrade (as soon as I figure out how... any tips?) but wanted to see if anyone else was having this issue or just me.
Thanks.

osiol3k, and anyone else having the wifi issue, I think I fixed it.
I deleted the "/data/misc/wifi" directory in a adb root shell and rebooted my phone. It has now been several hours, I've turned wifi on and off, connected to different networks, turned wifi tethering on and off, turned it off for several minutes before turning it back on again, a few other things, nothing seems to break it.
It wiped out all my previously saved locations and wifi passwords, obviously, but that's easy enough to fix.
Hope this helps!

I used this asob 1.2.9 for a day and I found it very slow to use, is there a way to speed things up? thanks.

Thank you I'm really excited about it. But I have a question. Can I have use my flash drives in this ROM without stickmount?

ROM
So is this a full-fledged ROM that I can install after wiping any ROM, or do I have to flash back to stock android 4.4.4 and then flash this??

I seem to be unable to install on my Nexus 10. I've followed the stages, but when I get to flashing the AOSP rom it stays on it forever!
I've updated my TWRP to v2.8.1.0 but it does the same thing.
Sorted the problem I think, some how the download I had on my Nexus was not a happy one haha. just on the boot logo now :3

Thank you, booted up and running. One question, I couldn't install Google+. It cannot be found on Play Store and installing from APK doesn't work neither.

Great work, thanks. Flashed about an hour ago, flawless so far!

seems my internal storage is not working ,I am not able to see any storage area, it gives an error. Might be a bad flash.

Yeah all working now, took forever to boot, went black a few times and then started working.

Now the $64,000 Question: will it root?
because I've had my fun with it. And without root, I can't keep it. I doubt it can be, but I have to hope.

Flashed yesterday. My experience was as follow:
1) Dirty flash from PA, system erase command did t seem to work. After flashing it booted up all apps were there, 4.4 gapps were force closing.
2) Twrp advance factory reset and erase. normal flash afterwards with gapps 5.0. Setup wizard crash. Couldn't get past that error.
3) Factory 4.4 image. Complete erase, and flash to L, boot up and then TWRP and gapps flash. Tablet booted correctly and works since then.
Regarding the WiFi battery drain bug:
No issue here. Battery drain when idle is a flat line. No misc group with excessive battery is listed in the battery stats.
Further more performance is great, basic apps seem to work correctly. Haven't gotten much into detail.
Regarding the G+ question. It works fine.

[Q] Please tell me this isnt a brick.

I really apologize if this in the wrong section, or forum, but I am very worried. Earlier I was messing around and I tried flashing the Xposed framework for lollipop. I have TWRP and I made a nandroid backup, I flashed it, all was well, and I rebooted. Well It was hanging for a while, too long, on the cyanogenmod booting screen. It was active, it wasnt frozen, the circle kept coming out from the logo.
I was like "damn, it must not have worked." So I powered off, hopped into recovery, and flashed the nandroid backup I had made.
Well now I have the same problem, It gets to the logo, and continuously flashes the circle, just nothing ever happens. Ive had it trying to boot for probably 10 mins now while I am typing this. I can get to recovery no problem, and have nandroid backups made, so I mean there has to be a way to fix it.
Can anyone help? Also, I'm working with a mac computer but I can pull up parallels desktop if need be.
Thanks in advance.
ALSO,
Where can I download a stock rom for 4.4.2 for The Galaxy Tab 8.4 T320
The only link I found is on some weird 3rd party website and is gonna take 9 hours to download. It is a .zip file and I need it to be able to work with odin, so hopefully there is a .tar in the zip correct?
All this crap because of stupid Xposed. omg.
Sorry guys, im freaking out.
Also, I think I have an idea why it wont boot..
I cannot clear the Cache, or the dalvik cache. It says "E/ Failed to mount : ' Cache" and same for dalvik cache.
And When I try to "repair filesystem" it also cannot mount cache and says the cache size it 0, and free space is 0. Someone please help. I don't want to cry myself to sleep tonight.
Also, I am downloading a stock rom right now, but it is one from Canada, I couldnt find one from the USA. But it was the one with the most downloads, so it doesnt matter where it's from as long as it is for my model, SM-T320, correct?
NOBODY, has any suggestions? God I'm gonna end up trying this on my own and ending up with a hard brick. Please, out of any of the 30 people who have viewed this, anybody?! :/

-Disregard this post-

I did it, ****ers!
Thanks for all the help!
As in, I flashed the stock rom with odin, and It was sucessfull.
Then I flashed TWRP and restored my nandroid. All was well.

A little late since you fixed it, but for future reference incase someone else has the problem.
XAR firmware is for the USA wifi models,
you could also flash with Samsung kies back to stock (downloads off samsung servers), though odin works too.
you could of disabled xposed with this command line if you had a custom recovery like twrp,
TWRP - Advanced - Terminal command
touch /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/disabled
There is also a key combination that can disable it too not sure if it works with the lolipop beta though

Quick explanation of the safemode: It was developed by @Tungstwenty and makes it possible to disable Xposed by repeatedly pressing one of the hardware buttons during early startup. The phone will vibrate twice when the first key press has been detected. Then you have five seconds to press the same button four more times. Each key press will be confirmed with a short vibration; the final one with a long vibration. It creates /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/disabled, which prevents most of Xposed's actions (e.g. no hooks are made and no modules are loaded). There's no 100% guarantee that this will get you out of a bootloop, but in most cases it should.

Thanks man, but I think my whole problem was something was corrupted with the Cache, it said I had 0 cache memory, with 0 free,
And I couldnt clear the cache, or dalvik cache for the life of me. Or even mount it for that matter.
I'm really thankful for all the posts I found on this website though, that's where I got the idea to flash it with Odin.
