Stuck at Logo after flashing rom [fixed] > solution!

Edit: solution added
problem:
after flashing a rom (in my case OP3lite or FreedomOS) you can't get past the boot logo
you have access to TWRP, so you can restore nandroid or flash flashable stock OxygenOS packages (tutorial here)
solution:
wipe: Dalvik /ART Cache, Cache, Data, System
flash your rom
try to boot (most likely will get stuck at boot logo)
boot into TWRP > Advanced > Fix Contexts, and swipe to Fix Contexts
Reboot
(wait a while, it might take a few minutes till it boots)

original post:
hi,
I'm running official OxygenOS 3.1.3.
Rooted (systemless) , TWRP installed.
I don't have any problems on my rom, but everytime I flash a rom I get stuck at the boot logo.
I can just force reboot, goto twrp and restore my nandroid backup, and my phone works fine again.
But I can't flash any rom.
tried this:
Dirty flash OP3Lite rom - stuck at boot logo
wipe and install OP3Lite rom - stuck at boot logo
Restored nandroid backup, factory format, wipe and install OP3Lite rom - stuck at boot logo
wipe and install FreedomOS - stuck at boot logo
Restored nandroid backup, factory format, wipe and install FreedomOS - stuck at boot logo
wipe, Format userdata throught fastboot, install FreedomOS - stuck at boot logo
update to OxygenOS 3.2.1 (flashable zip throught twrp)
wipe and install FreedomOS - stuck at boot logo
Both roms I tried are OxygenOS 3.2.1 stock based, my problem is most likely not due to the rom I want to flash.
Anyone knows a solution for this?
is it possible that systemless root causes this problem?

are you encrypted? that might be the issue.
backup your internal sd data then go to fastboot and fastboot format userdata then flash the rom you want

I never did format my userdata throught fastboot, so I might be encrypted.
I'll try tomorrow and let you know if that was the solution.

@Abaddon I format my userdata throught fastboot (fastboot format userdata), but still roms wont go past the Logo . any other idea?

did you full wipe?
wiped /system too before flashing a rom then u go and flash the rom + gapps if needed
how long was it at the boot logo? no animation correct?

did u advance wipe - data, caches, system instead of factory wipe, try it 3 times

I did a few wipe 3 times, still stuck at logo.
I get stuck on this logo, never reboot, just get stuck there.
I noticed that it does flash the rom, cause if I restore my nanodroid backup layers and adblock is added.
I also get zero error while flashing in twrp.

I fixed it .
did a fill whipe, then flashed feedomOS, then tried to boot, didnt get past the logo, booted into recovery, selected "fix Contexts" and then rebooted, started without any problem .

doesent work for me..!! any help

Faced this issue every time I restore any nandroid on one plus 3. It stucks at rotating resurrection logot . Even tried fix contents from TWRP, no output. Please help without a functional TWRP backup and restore - phone is useless. Only everytime mega unbrick guide needs to be repeated with painful reinstall of apps

hello guys. sorry if I'm a bit slow on this topic. I'm using the the op3t A3010 version (not dure whether I'm at the right forum or not lol) Recently I updated my phone to the new 4.1.7, in which I had already rooted the phone before with magisk v12. But right after the update, as usual, the phone will unroot and yes I did root the phone back by using the magisk v13.0 version. But it failed the safety net. So after a few 'research', I installed the superuser just in case that the safety net will work this time. But this is when it all went wrong. The phone did restart back to factory settings, but the phone is not rooted (checked by using the rootchecker app) So again, I'm back to the twrp recovery, clean wipe all the data, with hope that I can start from scratch which is from installing the magisk all over again. But after this step, it stuck at the boot logo for like more than half an hour. Than at this moment, I restart my phone back to recovery mode by long pressing the power button, and when I try to install both the magisk 12 and 13 version, there is a line of error code on the screen. There's a site that says simply go to the advance setting on the twrp interface, check fix contents and ur phone will be as good as new. After done doing that, I'm now stuck with a phone with no os installed and about 38% battery left. Can anyone help me here? This is the only phone that I had :crying: Urgent help needed here guys

Unless your original installation is without storage encryption (no dm-verity) this will happen. So next time install custom rom after flashing OB22 firmware+modem, then boot patch for dm-verity followed with custom rom and gapps then boot without wipe

i have the same problem but with p9 lite : when i tried a flash lineageOS or ResurrectionRemix my phone stucks at boot logo and when i flash the original os my phone works perfectly
sorry for my english

HELP! Phone only boots into recovery after fresh install

I have now tried to install the latest RR and Omnirom builds and the problem remains the same.
I've been very particular about wiping data before the installs.
Here is what I have done,
Performed data wipe by typing "yes" when requested. Used advance wipe to wipe everything.
Installed Rom, Stock Gapps and Magisk zip files.
Wiped Cache.
Reboot
The phone will not boot and only returns to recovery.
Can anyone help?

Here is my TWRP log if this helps - https://pastebin.com/ghpXkt3t

Not sure if this is relevant, but every time I try to flash a ROM it always fails on the first attempts and needs a second try to succeed.

If you only get to the mi logo and not the ROM boot screen then format data "yes 3-4 times in a row.
If that doesn't work then wipe the system and data and retry

I was only getting the Mi logo, so I did the format data 4 times in a row and rebooted.
I then saw the Omnirom logo for the first time!
unfortunately 2 seconds later I'm back in TWRP.

I have now tried for the 5th time to perform a fresh install.
Formatting data multiple times, wiping system and data multiple times.
The result is the same.
I see a flicker of the Omnirom logo and I get booted back into recovery.

Please try this:
1. Wipe: Dalvik / Art Cache; System; Data; Cache;
2. Go back to main TWRP screen and install the rom, install Google Apps, install "addonsu-15.1-arm64-signed.zip" (in case of Lineage) or the latest Magisk (in case of other rom)
3. Wipe Cache
4. Reboot
If this doesn't work and the device restarts in twrp, then pls download the twrp flashable Xiaomi rom from here: http://en.miui.com/download-334.html
1. Wipe: Dalvik / Art Cache; System; Data; Cache
2. Go back to main twrp screen and install the Xiaomi rom. Do not reboot.
3. Go back to main twrp screen and Wipe: Dalvik / Art Cache; System; Data; Cache
4. Go back to main twrp screen and install the rom (Lineage or OMNI or RR), install Google Apps, install "addonsu-15.1-arm64-signed.zip" (in case of Lineage) or the latest Magisk (in case of other rom)
5. Wipe Cache
6. Reboot
I had the same problem and this method worked for me, maybe it will work for you too. :fingers-crossed:
If it doesn't then maybe you have to start from zero and flash the original Xiaomi rom in fastboot mode (rom here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) via MIUI ROM Flashing Tool, unlock bootloader (bootloader might relock), flash twrp and then flash new custom rom.

No idea what happened but I have the same issue atm.
I was running a recent Omnirom for a few weeks. System got unstable, so decided to flash the newest version. Got me stuck in a bootloop. I tried everything, short of relocking and unlocking the bootloader.
- Full wipe, including storage
- Reflash Global Dev through TWRP.
- Flash stock Global Dev over flashboot
- Flash Omni, wipe, flash omni again.
All the same. Global Dev runs, all AOSP roms just go into bootloop. No idea what went wrong, I've flashed tens of custom roms over the past months without issues.

Then maybe the right solution to get out of bootloops would be to start from zero and flash the original Xiaomi rom in fastboot mode (rom here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) via MIUI ROM Flashing Tool, unlock bootloader (as bootloader will relock), flash twrp, do a full wipe and then flash new custom rom.

I have reflashed the original Xiaomi ROM (running it atm ) using the official Xiaomi Flash Tool.
I just did not relock my bootloader doing that (there's an option to leave it unlocked). Will relocking and then unlocking the bootloader really make a difference?

Not really. You ev. save yourself a waiting time of 72h....

Not sure what happened. I set up MIUI completely. Then, getting frustrated after using it for 10 minutes, decided to try one more time. Same thing.
1) Fastboot flash TWRP.
2) Wipe
3) Flash Rom
4) Flash GAPPS
Worked this time. No idea what went wrong the first 4 times. Only difference is that I went through the trouble to set up the entire phone this last time before trying again.
Anyhoo, so if anyone has the same issue. Set up phone in MIUI, only then wipe/flash

I got mine working by not installing Magisk. I just flashed Omnirom and GApps and it worked.
After setting up my phone I have since rebooted into recovery and installed Magisk and it works.

Can't system boot after install TWRP, Lazy Magisk on MIX M2S
Hello,
I have this problem, the phone does not boot after TWRP, Lazyflasher and Magisk being installed all fine.
I have re-installed the official ROM on my Xiaomi MI MIX 2S, then TWRP is fine too, then Lazy and Magisk fine.
When I reboot, it is stocked on MI logo whatever I do.
I have tried most of the advise posted but still stocked.
I restarted from scratch, installing again the official ROM, then fastboot flash recovery twrp, then lazy and Magisk, but still stocked on MI.
Thanks a lot in advance

Did you wipe system by any chance.. If you did you need to flash miui again with fastboot.. Or boot into fastboot and type this command 'fastboot format userdata' and press enter. You are facing this issue because of encryption

Gratitude for your reply. What do you mean by "wipe system". I installed the rom and then TWRP etc...
I flashed the ROM again and went into bootloader
I typed "fastboot format userdata" and the system replied:
"/usr/local/bin/mke2fs failed with status 1
mke2fs failed: 1
error: Cannot generate image for userdata
Can you advise.
Thanks a LOT

Did you use the correct rom ? Mi mix 2 or mi mix 2s?

Thanks a lot for your advise as always stock, despite different attempts

Did you try to flash using mi tools?

NO, I followed the usual process with ADB tools.
However, I have no boot "stuck at MI logo (bootloop)" problem when I flash the ROM.
It happens only when use TWRP and flash Magisk and Lazy.
Then, when I restart it got stuck at MI Logo.
Do you suggest I try to flash with MI logo (I don't have a PC though).
If so, should I just flash the ROM and then, what about TWRP, should I use MI flash or ADB?
I just want to make sure that the problem is with the ROM instal?
Thanks a LOT

I can confirm it's a clean flash
I use twrp and wipe every single partition

Do format Data (enter yes) then restart TWRP for remounting the partitions, copy the Rom and flash it

I can also confirm the clean installation. First I wipe all the partitions, then I do format data. then restart in twrp. Then I install the rom and then I start in Twrp and install Magisk or "disable encrip" with Magic included. After this, restart system. Everything seems to go correctly until the moment I log in to the Google account. Just before this the screen turns black and I can not continue the configuration.

Clean installation means Formatting not wiping the Data partition. The other point is to restart the TWRP after installing the Rom and then to install the magisk.
First try to format the Data will end with errors, so restart the TWRP and repeat format Data. After completion restart the TWRP again for remounting the partitions and copy the Rom

A note to everyone. Don't install magisk or remove encryption right after completion of the Rom installation. Reboot in TWRP again and then install magisk or remove encryption, otherwise you face black screen at the stage of Google data input

Did you reboot the TWRP after the Rom installation?

I had this problem before, what i did is not directly install magisk after installing rom. Install the rom, let it boot for first time, than boot to twrp and install magisk.

Had the same issue, solved by flashing fastboot rom

I used official TWRP. I tried to install PitchBlack Recovery and the rom Miui Developer installed correctly.

Help with custom rom

Hello, I have a redmi note 8. I have successfully installed pitchblack recovery but it fails whenever I try to wipe data. Even when I tried installing pixel experience (it showed successful) when I would reboot it, it says no os installed. When I rebooted it, it's just stuck on a boot loop. It also wouldn't even install evo-x rom at all. I absolutely know nothing about technology so I badly need your help.

Device stuck at miui 12 boot logo

I installed trwp and then orange fox via trwp on the Note 8 device. I tried to install magisik but could not. Something said wipe dalvik, I had to cache and do it again. After that, when I start the phone, it stays on the screen that says miui 12. When I wait a little more, the screen comes up to choose the language and connect to WiFi, but there is no forward button etc.
Then I try to throw the stock rom file with the flash tool, it flashes and then it writes reboot. The phone reboots and stays on the screen that says the same miui again.
Then, in order to solve the problem in the subject I followed again, it was said that you first install Custom rom and then return to stock roman. I tried to install custom rom via trwp before I tried to do 4 wipe (dalvik, cache, data, system) but it gave the attached error. I still installed the custom rom (Arvanasoft Global). It installed flawlessly, but it remained on the miui 12 screen at the same startup. 15 minutes I waited, nothing changed. What do you suggest?
