[Q] STUCK at cyanogenmod logo - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok , Im running CM 13 i9300 and it worked so well except the camera. I always got the error "Can't connect to camera" . So I was trying to fix that problem and I found couple of solution . The solution need an app that requires SuperSU permission . And It was kinda weird because there's no "permission asking" popup from SuperSU. So I open SuperSU and it told me to update SuperSU binary file. So I tried to update it and it failed. So I tried to update it manually but I found other thing which is to flash the latest version of SuperSU direct from chainfire website. I deleted the old SuperSU (The one that needs to be updated) and I flashed the new SuperSU zip and wipe dalvik cache through my TWRP Recovery and then I reboot my phone . And got stuck at the Cyanogenmod Logo . So what should I do to get my phone back to normal ? I mean back to CM13 and everything I have before. PLS HELP
Note : actually , after I flashed CM 13 . I dont have the SuperSU in my apps . So I manually downloaded it from the playstore . It's weird because it should automatically be there .

Isn't root access found under developer settings?

I seriously dunno about the root access at the developer settings . Now my phone is soft bricked and I'm gonna lose all of my data. Any clue on how to reflash the CM13 without deleting my stuff?(factory reset)
p/s : Yes , It's in the Developer settings

Boot into TWRP and reflash the same version of CM that was on the phone before it soft-bricked.

Should I clear data , wipe cache and dalvik , factory reset all that or just go to TWRP and just flash

You could just flash over the existing ROM without wiping. If it doesn't boot, wipe cache. If it still doesn't boot, wipe data and cache.

A problem with all JB 4.3 ROM I've tried

Hi, all!
I have that annoying problem with all the 4.3 ROM I've tried with no exception. Everything is fine until the first reboot. Then it's stuck on the first Galaxy SIII boot logo. I'm using TWRP - the latest version if it matters.
I always wipe everything first.
Please give more details on how you flash it.

If you did all required wipes and followed the instructions did you try a different recovery? I read in the SB thread for example of people having issues with TWRP
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
I am sorry for the wrong section. May I ask some to move it to Q&A?
I always wipe data, cash, dalvik cash, system. Then install the ROM and gapps...
After the restart I set up the google account and etc. And after the first restart the phone freezes. That's all.
I'll try with different recovery.
PS. I've just tried CWM recovery 6.0.3.3. and Omega AOSP v9. Still the same.
Try cwm 6.0.3.6 and after you install the rom and after its set up go to recovery and factory reset

That's strange, I run Philz recovery and every 4.3 flash till now went through without issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I tried all the recoveries I could find. Including Philz. Still the same.
And something else strange. I installed CWM, CWM, touch and Philz and with them I made backups. After restoration of the backup the phone freezes. I also tried to install Omega 49 and the installation goes OK, but freezes before the first start-up.
The only solution was to install manually TWRP (Odin) to restore some of my old backups. I'm beginning to think that there is something wrong with my phone. It's black if it is important.
Suggest total wipe of phone install your stock rom and test
Hi,
I just want to say I'm also having the same problem.
Started using TWRP with full wipe, same issue on 4.3 and no issues on 4.2.
On latest CWM same problem and 4.2 wont even pass the first boot on Samsung logo.
Also had to use Odin to get back on TWRP and flash a 4.2 rom again.
Anyway there is one more thing I would like to try but haven't had the chance to do so, is installing the latest modem and ril. But I'm kind skeptic about that currently because there is also some risks and my S3 is my daily driver.
Don't change the ril on any custom as you stand a big chance of breaking the calls and Tex's. Modem yes but not ril. Do change to cwm and retry.

Thanks for the info, I was planning to read more about it before I would make an attempt. BTW already tried CWM that only made things worse, couldn't flash any rom without getting stuck on samsung screen.

You are doing a full wipe?. System and data is the main thing to wipe not just factory reset. So go into mounts and storage and format data,system and cache there then flash the rom /gapps.

Start fresh and flash stock with Odin then try again after you root and install cwm.

Thank you!
But nothing helped. I flashed a stock ROM, with Odin. First I tried with TWRP, and the second time (again after flashing stock) with CWM recovery. I tried two 4.3 ROMs. They both can't boot after the first reboot.

Usual reason is faulty firmware or user not following the instructions .
In recovery format sdcard system data and cache boot to download mode flash stock rom
Read the faqs and guides .
Fails then you need a service centre repair .

Flash the stock touchwiz ROM in Odin and make sure that works, if it does you probably downloaded the wrong ROM or something like that. If it doesn't work, repair center or a new mobo.
EDIT: You could try wiping everything in "mounts and storage" with CWM

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

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.

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.

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 had this issue, too once. Can't recap what exactly fixed it, but I flashed TWRP again (think that didn't fix it) and then dirty flashed a ROM (in this case the same, which was already on the phone). If I remember correctly it worked after the later only. Might have also had to flash superSU. No data should be deleted if you just dirty flash (but do make a backup, should be no problem, since you are stuck in recovery anyway [emoji12]).
What ROM did you try to flash? You're rooted?

TWRP can be flashed just from inside TWRP itself. Dirty flash means not do a factory reset before flashing.
Sorry that I can't remember what fixed it, but you can get out of it, 'cause I did, too...
Just wipe cache and dalvik/art cache then install separately TWRP, ROM, GAPPS, SUPERSU again and reboot after each install step to see of you reboot to TWRP again. That's what I did.
I use latest AICP ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=69699770) but that shouldn't matter.
Hope it helps.

It's happened to me too! Like three times lol. Just use UpperCut / LG UP to flash the latest nougat rom. That will fix the issue. You will need to re-root after that. There are instructions in this forum that tell how to do all of that. Good luck
Well and don't flash a ROM which is not for your device...

[q] help , lineage os 14.1 i9300 nightly stuck at lineage os logo/boot logo

So after I flashing Lineage os , it was working fine and until recently , so I was out without my phone and then when I got home I try to open my phone(power on) but didn't open . So I go and charge the phone and it was going well like the battery logo is there and everything is like normal . And then I go play some games , when I checked my phone again , it is at Lineage os boot logo and it is very very hot too . So I force shutdown it . And then take the batteries out to cooldown my phone , after that I try to start it again , but no use . So I went to recovery mode and wiped cache and dalvik cache using TWRP , but no use also , my phone still stuck at the boot logo .
I am very sorry for my bad english
Please help
You need to flash back to stock firmware and start over again. Something is corrupt.

Try going to recovery and dirty flash the rom then wipe cache and dalvik then reboot.
By dirty flashing, i mean no wipes, just flash it over the existing one then wipe cache and dalvik then reboot.

Try using a different cable and a different USB port.
And check if MTP is enabled in "mount" through the button in the down right corner, it should say "disable MTP".

OK, try flashing your Stock ROM with Odin first.
and see if everything goes right.
then you will have to re-flash the TWRP and try again.

Make sure your imei still exists. If not then you need to fix the efs partition before you can proceed. Factory reset should always be done via the device software, NEVER TWRP!. TWRP has a habit of killing phones.

if TWRP kills phones, then it wouldn't have been the most famous and the most used custom recovery in the android world.
he can do factory reset from there as long as he isn't using stock ROM, and even if he uses stock ROM, it does no harm, but it's more preferable that he uses stock recovery for that.

Twrp has caused more mount issues than you've had hot dinners. The reason twrp is the 'most famous' recovery is because it's the only current recovery, Cwm is defunct. Cwm didn't cause mount issues, it only came about with twrp, on ALL devices.
I have also fixed the mount issue with twrp by changing recovery to an old official cwm and no problems since. Do not trust TWRP, you have been warned!.

OK, try flashing your Stock ROM with Odin first.
and see if everything goes right.
then you will have to re-flash the TWRP and try again.

I wiped and reflash the rom and Gapps , when I look at backup in TWRP , the EFS is 0mb , so I restored the EFS and rebooted the phone . It worked well . Thank you again ~!

Make sure your imei still exists. If not then you need to fix the efs partition before you can proceed. Factory reset should always be done via the device software, NEVER TWRP!. TWRP has a habit of killing phones.

Very lucky but that is why we stress that it MUST BE done, for times like these.
