Latest New from my Alpha 8.0 Install:

To recap--

- Previous issue was after successfully completing install of 8.0, I could not Reboot. After 8.0 sitting for 10 minutes, I would reboot and get stuck on the Samsung splash.

In fact, I couldn't Reboot no matter what I did. Battery pull, etc.

Soooo.....

- I ODINd back to stock Firmware

- Installed TWRP 2.5.0.2 Recovery

During the above processes I had 4 Reboots, of which all were successful.

So far, so good......

I then flashed 8.0 Successfully with a successful boot.

I waited 10 minutes and Rebooted.

Stuck on Samsung splash yet again.

If anyone has any idea as to what may be the cause after reading the above synopsis, your input is greatly appreciated.

I believe I narrowed something down. As to what that is, I have no clue :confused:

I just did anther Data Format and installing 8.0 again.

This time I chose BioShock Kernel instead of Infamous 2.0, which I chose on previous installs.

I don't know if it matters, But it's worth a shot.

Update:

After once again Successfully Flashing 8.0 with BioShock this time and Booting Successfully, after 10 minutes I Rebooted and got stuck on Samsung Splash.

But here's what I did next:

After getting Stuck on Samsung Splash, I Bootted into Recovery and Wiped:

Cache

Dalvik cache

AND

Pre-Load, which I have not wiped previously.

(I have done the other day and today to no avail. The other diifference is that after ODINing, and reinstalling Recovery, whenever i got stuck on Samsung splash, I was able to Wipe in Recovvery whereas before I was not able to without Data Format over and over)

I Booted System, and this time, I Booted Successfully without issue.

I'm not up on Android Workings, but I'll trouble-shoot to try to isolate where the issue is occurring and perhaps come across a fix, either purposefully or by happenstance.

I'll attempt a Reboot again in a few and see what happens.

SUCCESS AGAIN!!

I Rebooted and had Success again!!

So to summarize my 8 hours of trouble-shooting...................

After all this troubleshooting re this post and my previous post, it would appear that my device got bogged down with all the flashes, Unsuccssful and Successful, and the issues compounded.

ODINing Stock Firmware and Recovery showed that my device was able to Boot and Reboot with Success Multiple times.

After installing 8.0 Successfully, I ran into the Samsung splash screen issue upon Rebooting.

I then Wiped cache, dalvik cache and Pre-Load and had a successful boot and Reboot, which hasn't happened in a while.

Hopefully the above and my other post may help others who are in the same boat as I was ;)

I don't know technically what was occurring previuosly and current;y, But it appears that one issue compounded another issue and some pipes had to ne cleaned out.

I gotta look up what Pre-Load is, But i thought that after having successful boots and revboots, and then having reboot issues wafter installation of the ROM, it sounded like the Pre-load may be bogging things down as it would seem that a Pre-load is loading things that were not wiped with cache and dalvik cache.

The Pre-load wipe was not working hours ago because perhaps the Recovery and System were just loaded up with not good stuff, which were cleaned out., as Recovery was Wiping whereas before it would Fail.
