Flashed this just after following jdub01984's guide to update to 7.0, but ended up with a bootloop (not a twrp bootloop). Had to hard reset to force factory recovery. The build was at 20f before I installed, and I most definitely did not format system, just booted twrp, backed up, installed the rom, wiped cache, and rebooted. Install glitch? Should I try again? Was starting to panic when no combination of key presses seemed to interrupt the loop or cause a power down, then I found the hard reset sequence which got me back to twrp so I could restore (I'm using twrp 3.0.2 v2).

Yup, was a bad flash. Repeated the same procedure and it worked! Thanks! :good:
@micromod 777 What are the chances of you updating this rom to the latest firmware? Has been my go to since you released it.:good:

Just bought a used phone off Swappa. It has TWRP and had Cyanogenmod installed.
I wanted to try a TouchWiz ROM so I downloaded one. Booted into recovery, made a backup to external SD Card and then flashed the ROM. It said it flashed
successfully but when rebooted, it just stayed at the Samsung Galaxy S4 Boot
screen.
I tried restoring the backup, but it failed!
I thought I might have had a bad download so I downloaded Cyanogenmod nightly and LiquidSmooth on my laptop, transfered to the SD card, popped it into the S4, boot into recovery, and tried flashing each, and both just boot to the boot screen and freeze.
What are my best options now? I saw some guides for flashing back to stock via Odin, but requires that I know if I am on VRUAME7 or VRUAMDK and I don't know. Could I have been on ME7 and running Cyanogenmod? Doesn't seem possible, no?
Me7 ota doesnt have the ability to flash custom recovery or rom, so no you werent on that beforehand. Whenever you flash a rom you need to do a wipe/factory reset and wipe caches, unless op states you can dirty flash. Doing some reading will only help you out, generally every post outlines the installation process. Boot to recovery do your wipes then try booting again. If your still in a bootloop then you will need to flash mdk via odin then start the rooting and romming process over.

Man, I thought I did everything right.
First, did a backup.
Then full wipe with TWRP full wipe, including cache.
Then flash ROM
I'll have to get familiar with Odin and find the MDK images.
Sometimes that happens. Could have been a bad download then it happens more often then you would think. If theres an md5 hash posted its a good idea to verify the download is good. In the dev section theres no wipe mdk images posted so you wont lose your already installed apps and data.

So I downloaded the factory image and flashed via Odin, but accidentally flashed via bootloader rather than PDA. It wouldn't start - still hung at the boot screen, so I re-flashed via PDA and it is still hanging at the boot screen.
Now I don't know if it is just the same problem as before, or if I messed something up with flashing through bootloader. Can I reflash something via the bootloader section of Odin to restore it?
What version of twrp? And try to go back into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.
That worked for me on the buggy version of twrp when it wouldn't booy

Not sure what version it was because it's now back to factory recovery. I did go back into it and did a factory wipe and it booted!
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.

Hi, I think I did the following steps to get it working on my device.
1. Flash stock with odin
2. Hard reset
3. Boot up and finish first run menus
4. Flash twrp with odin
5. Format data with twrp
6. Flash 4.3 rom
Been using twrp since rooting note II. I wanted to try out 4.4 PA but they said to only use cwm. It was late so I decided to be lazy and since I used to use rom manager all the time I installed it to flash cwm recovery then booted into recovery to install touch version. It wasn't showing the touch version so selected to restart to check to see where I saved it to it would not boot past the first "note II" splash screen. Battery pull then back into recovery and went ahead and flashed PA 4.4 and now it will get past the splash screen then shows boot animation but then starts all over.
Is this a rom manager issue?
can I flash twrp from within cwm recovery?
will I have to basically reroot it?
Any suggestions on how to get back to twrp and to a usable phone?
thanks
If you download a .zip of twrp and flash it you will have twrp for your recovery.
As long as you flash a rooted rom, you will be rooted.
Not sure what happened with the boot loop, did you by chance wipe the system without flashing another before booting?

Nope did my standard wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and factory reset then flashed rom then gapps. Going to go back to twrp and wait for 4.4 to be more stable before I try it out again and maybe then I can use twrp to flash it.
thanks for the help

Have you wiped data at all? You need to wipe data / factory reset when switching roms, and it sounds like you havent.

As stated above, on both cwm and twrp I wiped caches and did factory reset and still having the issues. Once back on twrp I even formatted internal memory thinking maybe rom manager messed something up on it and still can't get passed the splash screen.

Copy a ROM to your SD card (external not internal)
Install cwm and format data (actually full format, where /data/media gets wiped) and system
Install rom
Reboot
TWRP has some issues randomly with corrupting /data, that's why I no longer use it.

Finally got it. Thought using odin to flash back to root 66 and start fresh would work but after that it was still going to the splash screen then black and a battery pull had to be done. TWRP back ups would fail when trying to restore, so I reverted back to an older version of twrp and it finally let a back up be installed and it booted up just fine!!
thanks for all the suggestions
Im having a similar problem to yours, I am using twrp and flashed PA 3.99 the phone works great, but if my battery dies or i restart the phone or shut it down it automatically wont get passed the samsung logo, or sometimes the PA logo, the only work arounds ive seen to it is to wipe the cache and dalvik to boot, but when that fails i have to install the whole rom over again. any ideas?
Hi.
I hope that I can get solution.
These are what I did:
1. I used CyanogenMod13 and I flashed GApps. After I booted it, I unrooted my phone and I removed busybox.
2. After that, I updated my phone to recently builds.
3. But after 09/09 build, I didn't updated it. So I just tried to update 10.01 build today.
4. I thought TWRP would be more better to control, so I flashed it on my phone and I flashed new cm update by TWRP.
5. After I flashed it, I formatted Dalvik(ART) Cache and Cache. (I didn't do it sometimes but i remember that it didn't make any problem.)
6. I got my phone keep bootanimaion forever so I flashed 09/09 build.
7. But it didn't works, so I flashed CyanogenMod13 recovery image and I flashed CyanogenMod13 10/01 build by CyanogenMod recovery.
8. Now it doesn't works (it keeps bootanimation), so I'm here to ask you.
I don't wanna lose my all DATA which involves my app data.
Thanks for reading.

Yes, because it's required to clean flash CM 13 without losing data (because you can now do a clean flash when you have a backup)

Thanks to @zefie for converting the kdz to a zip.
The zip
The anti-root removal
I flashed the zip in TWRP, rebooted to the OS, and was unrooted.
Reboot into the bootloader, and flashed TWRP.
Rebooted into recovery, flashed the lucye anti root removal, then rebooted into recovery again, and flashed Magisk.
Phone has been fine since Thursday.
Did you flash this dirty or clean?
I flashed it. Works GREAT. Dirty flashed.
Here's what I did...
-Flashed this zip
-Flashed Eliminator74 twrp image https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/development/twrp-t3828254 (you'll need to change from .zip to .img in TWRP)
-Rebooted to recovery
-Flashed antiroot removal zip
-rebooted to recovery
-Flashed magisk
-rebooted to system
-be patient
Can you please post a link to eliminator74 twrp build? I'm not sure if I have that one...

Dirty from 21B worked fine for me
Dirty flash from 20A worked perfectly.
FYI: This ROM has the recovery image removed, so if you already have TWRP, flashing this won't remove TWRP. No need to reinstall TWRP.
I actually started having bad idle drain. Flashed LOS for now, will go back to stock soon. If anyone else notices idle drain, please do let us know.
Thank you!
Only wiped caches
Dirty flashed over 20A
Reboot to recovery
Flashed anti root removal tool

Flashed Magisk 17.3
Wiped caches again
Reboot to system

All is well so far!
Still running 17A [rooted]... think dirty flashing this will be alright? Been looking for a good time to update.
Coming from 20A, battery life has been about the same- maybe even a bit better. All's well.

Go for it. Be sure to install Magisk for root. SuperSU (if you happen to be using it) doesn't work anymore.

US997 14a to 21c (Keeping Root)
I'm using the US997 still on 14a (rooted, TWRP installed) would I need to (CLEAN) flash up to 17a and then the 21c? After that flash the anti-root and flash an updated version of Magisk? (currently stuck on v16.4) Can't find my stock boot image to update. Only got the phone back in October and stopped all updates before I unlocked the bootloaded, installed TWRP and used Magisk to get root. I had a hard time finding a version of TWRP with a kernel that worked for my phone (Melina v3.2.1-0) would I have to update that also? Was waiting to see the highest update I could get without losing root. Anyone done this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My wife and I both have G6 phones. On mine, I dirty flashed this over 20A with absolutely no problem. My sequence was: flash Eliminator74 TWRP, reboot to recovery, flash 21C zip, reboot to recovery, flash lucye anti-root, reboot to recovery, flash Magisk, wipe cache and Dalvik, reboot to system. I'm guessing I really didn't need those extra reboots but it felt safer. Phone is perfectly stable.
On my wife's phone it was another matter. Her data partition was encrypted, due to the phone having been reimaged by LG during warranty repair. I'd rooted it but never decrypted it. None of the default ways to decrypt it worked, so I was forced to format /data. I thought that would do it, but the resulting installation was unstable, and wouldn't get through setup successfully without continually looping, freezing, and returning to start. Finally I realized it was probably flashing over the LG factory image that caused the problem. I wiped /system and started over, and had much better results.

So I tried this coming from 17A.
When I reboot to recovery on the first go I have the Oreo bootloader screen and it goes into the white reset menu. All encryption is enabled again.
I have to fastboot bootloader, install TWRP recovery, wipe/format and then restore my 17A to recover the phone.
What steps did you take MetalMan2?

I exactly followed LPMatt's list which you quoted.
Still no problems. Pretty sure the battery life is less than 17A, but I think we all know that and for me it's "good enough".
