Soft bricked when updated to CM 14 - Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I'm using CM13 on my xiaomi redmi 2. This morning I installed the weekly update from 25th of December 2016 from the update manager, without realising that it was actually a new ROM, CM 14. The installation went well but gapps was giving much trouble. I decided to install gapps for Android nougat, but couldn't get into TWRP. In the end I installed a CM13 version from the update manager, in the hope that everything would go back to normal. As a result my phone went soft-bricked and wasn't even able to connect it with adb/fastboot from my desktop (ubuntu 14.04). Eventually I've managed to get into TWRP and now I have the possibility of wiping out Cache partition and Dalvik Cache, and install a ROM of CM 13, but I would like to investigate the chances of getting back the phone without losing all my data and apps. Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks.

Bro if you have got TWRP working right then you might already have CM 13 Zip files and gapps in the phone too. Try Clean Installing the Rom (ps don't select storage in advanced wipe option in Twrp , only select DATA , SYSTEM , CACHE & DALVIK to wipe). Your photos,videos,whatsapp chat backup will be saved. Try above method and let me know if it work. If not then you have flash MIUI rom using fastboot method to get your device back.

Problems (Bootloop & Other) after flashing offical cm 14.1 on Oneplus Two

After I downlaoded the offical cm 14.1 nightly to my oneplus 2, I flashed. When starting the phone, i got the notification, that google play store and their service were stopped. So i went back to the recovery TWRP and wiped the dalvik cache and regular cache. After I did this, the phone went into a bootloop and i dont know how to fix this.
Hopefully I can repair the issue asap cause its my daily driver ands its important
It sounds like your data partition contains data structures from older CM13 or derivate ROM. In that case you will have to clean flash to get it going without bugs and boot problems. Also make sure you flash the latest nano or micro package of Gapps for 7.1 ROM 64-bit.

1. Download latest GAPPS for 7.1 (ARM64). Here -> http://opengapps.org
2. Enter TWRP & Connect the phone to a PC (you can still access phone storage in recovery)
3. Copy GAPPS zip.
4. In TWRP go to "Wipe" & wipe Data + Cache + Dalvik Cache (Your internal storage won't be wiped)
5. Flash CM 14.1 zip.
6. Flash downloaded GAPPS.
7. Reboot System! Done!

com.android.phone stopped after clean flash

This started happening with a working RR android 7.1 ROM I have used for several days. Today, I wanted to try out LineageOS 14.1 so I made a nandroid backup of data and internal storage. When I rebooted into RR the screen was flickering and a message constantly popped up stating that com.android.phone stopped and Calendar stopped and com.android.media stopped etc etc.
So I went on and did a full clean flash
I tried t remove my sim and the clean flash but to no avail. I do advanced wipe --> Dalvik/ART cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, and Cache before every flash today. Then i flash ROM and latest gapps, wipe cache/dalvik and reboot.
Even without flashing gapps, the problem is still there.
Running on TWRP 3.0.0 (worked for several days on RR android 7.1 ROM), but tried on 3.0.2-2, 3.0.2, and 3.0.1 with the same results.
How did this happen? Is my EFS and IMEI f'ed because of the nandroid backup of data and internal storage?
How do I fix this?
Kind regards and a happy new year!
Same here. Twrp is the culprit, I'm afraid. It isn't taking good backups. Just fresh install RR and download all your apps, it'll work. Can't wait for twrp update...
i needed to format system to ext 4 and now everything works!

Can't flash oreo roms

Hi,
I have a problem installing 8.1 oreo roms on my phone. I follow standard procedure: wipe dalvik, cache, system, data -> install rom + gapps -> wipe cache. After my phone restarts, it displays rom logo, but doesn't load (even after 15-20 minutes of waiting). All I can do is load in fastboot and restore my backup. I use twrp 3.2.1-0, unofficial 8.1 pico gapps from 2018/01/30.
So far I tried:
-Installing rom and gapps separately.
-Installing rom, rebooting, installing gapps.
-Installing rom + gapps, then wiping data.
-Installing rom + gapps, then not wiping anything.
-Factory reset, then install rom + gapps.
-Installing rom + different gapps versions.
Additional notes:
-At one point I successfully installed NitrogenOS (about a month ago) and it is my current rom and backup. But I can't clean flash it again.
-When I install rom only (without any gapps) it boots up fine without errors or long loading.
Can anyone help?
Same problem I am also facing. Using Pixel experience ROM but now not able to flash cosmic official rom...remaining on bootanimation

Thanks for answer. I tried that method too, but it still didn't work for me. I recently tried clean flash with gapps from https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3718757 and it worked flawlessly. So maybe it's an issue with some gapps packages?
I also have the exact same problem.
Flashing ROM without gapps works perfectly.
adding gapps package, no matter if its pico aroma or mini, it results in stuck on boot animation.
wiping after flashing also did not work.
once made pixel experience boot, using it since...ota update worked without a problem.
any other suggestions?

ftfy. But before this ensure that:-
1. Non corrupted ZIPs. Avoid if possible from using mobile data. A slower yet stable WiFi yields better success rate.
2. Currently this unofficial opengapps' builds works better and are more current.

I didn't need to format data on Oreo nos
As mentioned in other threads on this topic, I just wanted to mention here as well that I am also affected by these Oreo boot loops and haven't found a solution yet. I somehow managed to get PixelExperience to install once, but downgraded now to a Nougat build for other reasons (better battery and GCamMod compatibility).

I am using 3.2.1-0 twrp. Rom itself flashes fine, it's the gapps that create infinite boot.
Exact Same issue Here...
I have same problem too .. can't boot in to any Oreo ROM with Gapps .. really isn't any solution here?
This might not be a proper solution, but here's what I did:
1) Wipe data, cache, dalvik, system
2) Flash rom + gapps(I used NitrogenOS and pico gapps)
3) Wipe data again and restore data from backup(I restored data from previous build of NitrogenOS, so I don't know if restoring from different rom will be ok)
4) Boot into rom, ignore any "stopped working" errors and go to Settings-System-Reset options-Erase all data(Not sure if this will erase internal storage, backup just in case)
After that phone booted up and and did first time installation.

Can someone upload me some backup? Pixel Experience would be a best ! Thanks a lot
Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
I'm facing the same problem. I have a Redmi 3S (international, 3GB version). Doesn't matter what Oreo ROM I try (clean install), they all get stuck in bootloop on boot animation. It doesn't get far enough in the boot process to do a logcat with ADB, so I'm not able to post it.
I'm using TWRP 3.2.1-0 but have tried Red Wolf recovery as well and it yields the same results... I don't think it's a gapps issue since I've tried booting several ROMS without installing gapps.
I have rebooted several times while it's still in the boot process, remounted system in TWRP, wiped everything, ...
If anyone has an idea to get the logs, fire away. Can't boot so can't install liveboot or something like that.
bump
any solution?
The Problem still occurs...
Flashed PE successfully once, but since i went Back to official Nougat lineage os, No Oreo Roms can be booted with gapps

TWRP Loop

***Problem Solved***
Hello All,
First of all, Iam a newbie in custom roms so i hope it's not a stupid question...
Couple of months ago i rooted my LG G2 en installed TWRP and after that i flashed Lineageos 14.1.
But i wanna try something else.
I flashed AOSP and works like a charm.
So i decided to flash another one.
But now my phone is stuck on a TWRP loop.
I aleady update twrp to a new version: 3.2.1.0 but it still not work.
What did i do:
Iam going to wipe.
Advanced wipe and wipe:
Dalvik/ART cache
System
Data
And cache
After that iam going to Install:
select the rom and the OpenGapps. (ARM 7.1 Nano)
And confirm flash.
After the flash i wipe Cache and Dalvik and then reboot..
But it's only starting in recovery again and again.
I have tried this roms:
Lineageos
ASOP
CRdroid
Paranoid Android
MK
Ressurection remix
But none of the roms will work
I also tried to wipe Internal storage but unfortunatly that also doesnt work
What iam doing wrong?
Or what can i do to get one of this roms to work?
Thank you
***Problem Solved***
I Found it!!
By Terminal i have to type a code and then another code.
My phone is working again.

Stuck with a OP5 with no OS

Hi everyone,
I have been happy with the Marshmellow version the OS since I bought my phone when it came out (Unlocked, Encrypted). I have performed one update since I had the phone. Today, after seeing the latest posts after not being on this site for a year, I decided to make the move to upgrade to OOS 5.1.0!! Why not, nothing else going on this weekend. I upgrade TWRP to 3.2.1-1, I make a full backup, I follow the upgrade instructions... it fails with the continuous spinning balls on reboot. I Do some research... oh, it is "challenging" to upgrade but possible. No big deal, I will just restore my backup and try again at some other time. My backup restore fails Error 255, I try the fixeS I found such as unmounting data... No Luck). Can not restore the data partition. I guess I should have decrypted everything prior to backing up based on what I read later.
I at least backed up my SD card using adb prior to all this, so I decided to just reinstall ANY OS to get my phone running again for tonight. Well I have not had much luck. I downgraded TWRP to 3.2.1-0, I have tried installing:
OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_033_all_1804110400_eb1766 - Originally installed with not errors but phone reboots back into TWRP after a failed 1st reboot. (I do get a "failed to mount /vendor")
lineage-15.1-20180423-nightly-cheeseburger-signed with Gapps (Gapps failed with I think a error 7)
I was messing with the data partition, wiped, formatted, etc. I am sure this is some of the issues. One other thing is that TWRP always boots to the "keep System Read only" I find this strange and had never seen before. I select to allow modification, but it seems like nothing changes on reboot.
At this point I would just like to get a stock OS image on the phone. IS there something I am missing?

Sounds good, let me give it a try.
I've been thru this already. Here is the simplest way to get your 1+5 back to work, while having the latest LineageOS installed. It takes a bit of time and patience, but it works:
Using fastboot, reinstall TWRP 3.2.1-1 (or newer, if any)
Wipe all partitions, namely Dalvik/ART cache, Cache, System, Data and Internal storage
Sideload the latest OOS (version 5.10 or later, if any) with Android 8.1. This version will be OK for LineageOS 15.1 and you will no longer have that stupid error 7 when installing LOS 15.1
If OOS boots into recovery and asks for passwords or PIN or schema ... click on the "forgotten" link. OOS Recovery will then remove encryption and wipe out any data that was left.
Reboot phone, and start OOS session. Do not use any security stuff (PIN or schema or whatever) that would encrypt the phone. At least not now - If necessary, you will add it at the end of this whole process.
Once OOS is working, reboot to Bootloader. Since TWRP has been erased with OOS default recovery, you will have to reinstall it.
From TWRP, wipe Dalvik/ART cache, Cache, and Data partitions. This time, do not touch System or Internal storage
Sideload Lineage OS latest version. If you need to use Google Apps (e.g. Open Gapps), sideload it now before rebooting
Reboot (you might have to reboot twice, don't worry about that).
Once booted in LineageOS, do whatever you like - add accounts, root phone, etc.
Enjoy! (you may want to shout "Vive la France!", well ... don't hesitate!)
Sorry for my poor English. If anything here is unclear to you, please let me know.
I Have no idea what happened. I came home to start working on my phone, powered it up, and boom I have Android 8.1. Ok, Whatever...
Now I wonder if I should go for lineage or not.

It all depends on how important privacy is to you. If you don't care, then stick to the original OnePlus firmware. If you do, then switch to LineageOS.
