Can't boot to OS; Android is upgrading screen - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Hi all.
I have a Note 8 GT-N5110 that's still running Stock 4.4.2. It's rooted and has Xposed 2.6.1 installed along with some modules. Last night I flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0 with the intention of flashing Magisk, forgetting at the time that it only works on Lollipop and up. I did not do a backup (I know) and rebooted back to the Stock OS just fine. I updated some Xposed modules and rebooted. Then I added some new Xposed modules, updated AdAway and its host files, and rebooted.
Now I cannot boot past the Samsung logo screen no matter how long I wait. I've gone into TWRP and wiped Dvalik and Cache, which lets me boot past the Samsung logo and get to a screen that says "Android is upgrading, starting the apps." It's been sitting on this screen for about 1 hour, which makes me think I can't boot past it. Any ideas how to easily fix this? If I need a full refresh, can anyone point me to the US version of the Stock 4.4.2 ROM?

[Q] bootloop after supersu binary update

today i updated supersu to 2.17 and it attempted to update the binary but once it shut off it stayed in a bootloop, how do i fix this without having to wipe everything
Same problem here on S4 I9505 International version after automatic update via Google Play just now (2.12.2014, 15:50). Not sure which version i downloaded. Problem seems to have started after it asked the SuperSu binary to be updated by TWRP. The boot loop here occurs after I enter the pin code, apparently after loading various programs (which all are terminated), then reboot is triggered.
Downloaded UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.37.zip but found no way to get it to the S4...
I still have SuperSu-2v.27 on S4, so I reflashed that. Still on bootloop!
Backed up the S4 with TWRP, where I keep previous backups (just in case ...) and recovered my previous backup (one month old).
We'll see if I can update to v2.37 after that.
Flash a rooted ROM should fix this issue. I never install with twrp. Never had this issue.
Deleted. Old post made relevent from a completely different phone user/variant. ...

[Q] Update I9300 with 5.1.1 rom lost root

Hi,
I was on the paranoid 4.4.4 rom on my I9300, everything worked fine.
I did the last update with paranoid 5.1.1 but it didn't worked well, i have multiple error and Google service won't work anymore.
The thing is, i can't do anything at all, like restore my last backup because i lost the root access with the update.
I can't load in recovery mode, i tried the HOME+VOLUME DOWN (or up) + POWER, it won't work.
I can't fine the debug mode on this version, so i really don't know how i can at least restore my last backup to go back to the 4.4.4 version.
Any help is appreciated, thaks for your time.
Root doesn't ship with any 5.x build of paranoid android. To reset you need to boot into recovery and restore your backup or flash a different ROM.
You don't need root access for that.
It sounds like you installed an incompatible gapps....
Thanks for your reply,
I managed to boot in recovery, using a method i found on the web, i pull the battery then hold the combination keys when i put it back, and it load in recovery just fine.
I think i couldn't install the proper gapps because i was in clockwork recovery, i installed the latest TWRP, but i still can't manage to install the latest paranoid rom prpoperly.
here's what i did so far:
- wipe all/ factory reset , install Paranoid5.1.1 + Gapps 5.1 mini => paranoid load but Black screen once it's loaded with the message "Android.phone interrupted" (gross traduction) popping every 2 sec, it disapear if i put the phone on airplane mode => make me think the Google service can't connect.
- Restore my last 4.4.4 backup then => wipe cache/dalvik=>install Paranoid 5.1.1 + gapps => same as the previous problem, but this time i have my old app and i can call and receive sms.
My guess so far is a problem with the Google service who can't synchronize, the Gapps i try to use are the pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.1-20150315-signed.zip
Any guess ?
Yeah. The problem is you are using old gapps. Use banks gapps
I had trouble with a clean install of PA 5.1 + Gapps on my S3 (i9300) and similar issues to yours, not sure why but I found that if I used th full fat "Stock" 5.1 Gapps the phone was fine and has been for a day or 2 now, the pico/mini/full seemed to be problematic (at least for me). Also moved to Philz Recovery using the "Rashr" app as my old CWM kept throwing an error of status 6 on any Gapps I downloaded... Must admit though that once stable PA Lollipop runs well on the S3 and battery seems better over the past couple of days too...

LG G4 won't boot up- NOT BOOTLOOP

So I have a T-Mobile LG G4 that like every other G4 had the bootloop problem when I got it. I sent it to LG and they promptly fixed the issue. My current issue has nothing to do with the bootloop I believe.
Because the G4 wasn't getting the Android N update fast enough and also because I wanted to play around with Android's full potential, I decided to root the phone a little over two weeks ago. The process worked and I decided to install a custom ROM. That also worked. I have installed four or five custom ROMs built on Android 7.1 without issue, or at least without any major issue.
However last night I decided to flash Genysis ROM on Android 6.0 because I wanted to play with Xposed. I made a full Nandroid backup of the CRdroid ROM it had been running and then wiped and flashed it using TWRP. When I installed the ROM it didn't work for whatever reason, freezing up and frequently becoming unresponsive. Over about 30 minutes I managed to enable USB debugging and reboot it to recovery (why I didn't shut factory wipe it from bios I'm not sure).
Now any ROM I try to install doesn't boot up. It never gets past the OS loading screen with the ROM logo. On 6.0 ROMs it says it has optimized the apps but gets stuck on starting them. The Nandroid backup I made does the same thing, even ones I made early that day and one from several days ago.
The backups had that one app installed that shows the logcat while booting up and while I'm no expert it seems to get a loop loading the audio drivers. I don't know if that's the cause or if it's just coincidental, as I've never heard of audio drivers preventing a boot, albeit my experience is with Windows PCs.
If it would help I can attempt to take a picture of the screen while stuck, although the text moves very fast. I can access the TWRP recovery just fine but don't know how to/if you can dump logs.
Any help would be much appreciated! I can attempt to supply an information that may be needed as well.

why not start from 0 and flash latest KDZ with LGUP.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/h811-kdz-file-t3607807
For sure I'll try that. I'll let you know if it works, thanks!
Follow up- I eventually found the free time to work on this and flashing the kdz worked! I actually had to use LG Bridge as LGUP only found my device as unknown.
Thanks for the help! Back to flashing ROMs for me.

Stuck at "phone is starting", touchscreen not responding.

Yesterday I did a dirty flash of Oxygen OS 9.0.10 on my OnePlus 5T which was initially running Oxygen OS 5.1.7 with Oreo 8.1.0. After that I flashed latest Magisk zip. After booting into system, then after the final setup of the update, I flashed franco kernel from TWRP.
Everything went smooth. All apps were functioning fine. Today in the evening, while watching YouTube, the touch stopped responding. I restarted my phone, cleared cache, dalvic, still the touch wasn't responding.
I booted in TWRP, the touchscreen wasn't responsive, therefore I used my mouse to decrypt then copied full zip of OOS 9.1.0 zip via adb from my laptop. After clearing cache, dalvic, I flashed the zip file.
After booting into system, my phone is showing the message, "phone is starting" with animated strip below it. This has been since past 45-50 minutes.
The touch is not functioning even now.
What should I do to resolve this trouble?
Has you debloat something from /system/app or priv-app? On my tablet it prevents to boot completely and stucks in this Android update loop.
Also not everytime a good idea to dirty flash to another Android major version (Oreo > Pie)!
Try a fresh install.
OxygenOS 9.0.10
No-Verity v4 (if a decrypted phone)
Boot.
Then back to TWRP
Magisk & Custom Kernel
Boot.
Restore maybe from Titanium user apps only (except Whatsapp/Threema/Telegram.. GCM/FCM notifications problems).
Flash Magisk modules.
Sent with much love and Android.
I have been having persistent problems with the touchscreen on my 5T becoming unresponsive at random times for no apparent reason for a while now (see this This thread for more info there).
I have found that when the touch screen stops responding, the ONLY thing that will get it working again is flashing back to stock firmware - I have been using 9.0.9 (didn't even realise .10 was out). Sometimes it doesn't work the first go, and I have to reflash again over the top (maybe even a couple of times) but I've never failed to get it working after a few goes.
Problem (on my phone at least) is that phone then hangs on the "just a sec" screen at first boot, but once the screen works again I do a clean flash of LineageOS so the setupwizard hanging is not a problem for me per se, except that the touch screen inevitably flakes out again - sometimes it takes a few days, sometimes it happens within minutes, but nothing I have tried has made it go away completely. I'd say it was a hardware problem except that reflashing the stock OOS ROM can bring it back to life... maybe it's some weird hard+firmware combination that is triggering it.
Anyway, reflash stock a few more times and see if that helps.

Noble ROM 1.1 causing trouble in my Samsung Galaxy S9 SM-G970F/DS

Hi, I am a noob in flashing ROMs and stuff...
I recently got a Galaxy S9(used) by a family member. It had One UI 2.5, android 10 on it but I missed a couple of Android 11 features that I had on my Galaxy A50
So I decided to get Lineage OS 18.1. I flashed it successfully. When I launched Samsung Wearable app, it said that I had modified the software in "Unauthorized way". So I searched and found that Noble ROM is based on One UI 3.1 so I tried to flash it. I got stuck in a bootloop at first but then flashed again and after some time it booted up in setup screen like select language, etc. then at the data transfer part, the phone screen went black except the status bar, then it lighted up the set up screen went black again, it kept on happening. I rebooted it, tried safemode and also tried factory reset in TWRP. Then the issue still occurs from time to time.
I am ready to go back to stock ROM or should I try flashing newer Noble ROM or something else, please suggest.
Please help me!
I used Odin3_v3.14.4 , twrp-3.5.0_9-1-starlte.img.tar and NOBLEROM1.1_N9_S9_S9P with CAMERAFIX_G960
I didn't install kernel fix as I followed this video .
