[PORTING] Stuck on a boot logo when porting roms - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, i have a Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 (SM-A310F) and my stock rom is Advanced three (Ported from advanced seven for a7 2016 that is ported from note7) and i want to port this rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/rom-a5-2017-grace-ux-t3531719 from A500G 2015.
I ported this and got bootloop.
I tried the fix with replacing the lib files.
But unfortunately this method didn't work too. Can you please help me? I don't have any ideas how to fix this.

how do we know what have you edited.
Moving everything to new Rom is not call as porting. Kernel is an issue obviously

Stuck at boot loop :(

Hello,
Please help me with this.
I have a AMOI N828 MIUI 4.2.1 JB ROM(latest update) which I wanted to port to my device with ''Exact same specs'' . I used the S4UI ROM as my base as it is the only perfect ROM. I then successfully ported using the ROM porter tool...>>(http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2276871). Applied about 5-7 tweaks. I was quite skeptical whether it would install via CWM but it installed flawlessly. And when booted up it shows the MI logo and is stuck there.
Help please.
Go back and take a copy of the ported rom before the tweaks and flash, see if it bootloops
it it does bootloop then its not ported properly
if it doesnt bootloop then it is probably the tweaks

My Galaxy Grand Duos Won't Boot

Hi, this is my first post, so if I am posting in the wrong section, please tell me so. I have a Galaxy grand Duos, it had Android 4.1.2 (stock) and I wanted to upgrade it to Android KitKat (4.4) so I rooted it and I upgraded first to 4.2.2 using RR (Resurrection ROM) and it worked flawlessly then I used CM 11.0, I flashed CM 11.0 (the ROM) and gapps, but now it just won't boot, it's stuck at the Galaxy Grand Duos logo and it just won't go to the main screen or anything, did I brick it or what?
Yes, when it stucks in manufacturer logo it's because it simply cannot initialize correctly, any system file can cause that, or any rom

Thanks for the reply, but actually, you added nothing. Obviously, it cannot initialize correctly and I know the ROM was the cause, I just need a fix for it.

Actually I answered your question. But, to fix this you have to re-flash CM, or another rom with CWM...

Actually, I re-flashed CM many times, but still no avail. I flashed Resurrection Remix with CWM and then CM 11.0 with CWM also, the same version. Should I've used another version for flashing CM 11.0 as it upgrades to 4.4 unlike the RR which upgrades to 4.2?

[Q] Can't find a custom ROM for GT-I9060

Hey guys, I'm back!
First, I've successfully rooted the recovery image and installed SuperSU for the last time, but I can't find CyanogenMod official/unofficial and custom ROM for previous to latest Android versions (example as Android 4.4.x KitKat) to relevant before how to install.
Second, is it compatible to install a custom ROM for GT-I9060 (Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo) than GT-I9080 and GT-I9082 (Samsung Galaxy Grand) in recovery mode?
Sorry about that, but it's impossible to fit those categories in this forum.

Upgrading Ported Custom ROM
Hello everyone here,
By following this thread so far, I've managed to port a custom ROM successfully for my device from existing Base ROM. Kudos to ArjunrambZ for this helpful thread for noobs like me. But both the ROMs are Android 4.1.1 . Now can anyone help me how to upgrade the version(Example: I want to upgrade to Android 4.4.4) of my Ported ROM? I googled a lot but I couldn't find anything useful/understandable for me. Thank you and thanks to KJ for pushing me in the right direction :cyclops:
ROM structure
Nice guide I haven't actually tried this yet but I have a few questions
As far as i knw porting means running a rom on a device for which it was not created
If this is the case why do we copy only specific folders (apps, fonts, media, framework) . from port rom to base rom? So there r still parts of original rom in new ported rom what is work of those parts? And what is work of parts we copied from port rom?
At 1st i thought the remain of base rom which we didn't replace is device specific i.e it contains drivers, etc am i correct?
Plus i have one more query what if i want to port a completely diff version port rom
For example i have a note 2 and i knw there won't be any lollipop release for it
So what if i want to port lollipop to my device since i have base rom as kitkat and port rom as lollipop, is it possible cross version porting?
Thanks

I tried your method and there were a few problems.

I just got one of these for my daughter and I was straight on here looking for a custom rom for her, but the phone isn't even listed yet. It's still too new. I'm sure in a while there will be roms for it, and the phone is equivalent in power to an S4 I think so could run lollipop I'm guessing.
Some HELP ?
Please can someone help to install a custom rom on my A5 i have rooted it but i can't find a custom recovery for it and also can't install a custom rom....

How did you root your A5 bro ? I want to root my A5 but i'm affraid
I want to install a custom rom on my A5 also, i hate touchwiz launcher.
i followed this tutorial and it worked but can't do anything more since there's no custom recovery or roms for the A5 i have one but it's just an improved version of the 4.4.4

What tutorial did you follow ? Yes, without a custom rom we can't do anything.... Let's wait for a while.
Samsung will launch Lollipop soon, but i don't want this with touchwiz launcher.
Thanks for lacking of ROMs. Now I use the phone with stock ROM without even root, and I'm happy. Weird!! )
me tooi have A5 i tried many tutorials to root but only one works is the KINGROOT softwar for pc now its rooted but i cant find any recovery or custom rom hhh
My s4 died and since I'm a poor bastard I ended with an a5 (s5 and s6 still way too expensive)
Phone is not as powerful as an s4... Mine ran cyanogenmod with f2fs and there is no comparison.
A5 is OK... Samsung did shaved some bloatware and the phone is quick enough to not be annoying.
I enjoy using it but sometimes the ok screen get on my nerves (s4 had over 400 ppi... This one us like 290)
