[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tartilc:
Reboot then bootloop :(

Hi, I've been trying to get my installation of this ROM working for two days now, but keep running into an issue that I cannot seem to solve :(

My device is a 2013 Moto G XT1031 (Boost Mobile) with Bootloader version 41.05 and the latest CWM recovery.

The issue has been occurring on build 4/8, 4/25, and 5/2.

The exact steps I have been taking to install this ROM (for all builds) and then what happens:

Bootloader is unlocked

Going into recovery and wiping dalvik cache then factory reset (wipe)

Installing CM11 (latest snapshot) [on my first attempts only, not afterwards since it made no difference anymore]

Factory reset again (just to be certain)

Installing the zip for a build specified above

Installation always succeeds with no errors

Installing gapps-L-3-28-15 with success

Reboot into android

First boot always succeeds (and takes appropriate length of time)

Set up the phone (connect to wifi, google account, restore my apps [18 of them, just common popular ones, mostly Google actually], and apply a theme

Use it for a couple minutes (enable root and usb debug in Developer Settings, set my apps up, etc)

Restart two or three times without any hiccups

Suddenly, after a random reboot, the boot animation happens twice (instead of only once how it supposed to be)

Phone boots and shows "Android is starting..." and optimizes the apps (104 of them) one by one

Goes to "Starting apps..." and succeeds

The phone shows the lockscreen, but only for approximately 1-2 seconds

Phone reboots

CM boot animation runs twice, once for a long time then again for a shorter period of time

Phone goes through process described above (Android is starting, optimizes, then flashes lockscreen)

This just happens again and again and again

Steps I've taken to try and remedy the issue:

Run: "adb reboot" from computer while phone is optimizing apps

Hard reset the phone by holding the power button for 15 seconds

Run: "adb reboot bootloader" from computer when possible, then go into recovery and wipe both dalvik and normal cache

Swipe on the lockscreen as soon as I see it to see if I can get in (lockscreen does not respond though)

Go into recovery and shut the phone off, then start again

Let it loop for about 2 hours

I had also tried leaving the phone overnight looping, and when I woke, it was still looping, but after a eight or so more hours, I came back and found that it had booted and stayed on (and was working completely normally).

The phone was running stock 4.4.2 completely fine before this (with no reboot issues). I attempted installing the latest version of BlissPop, which exhibits a similar but still different issue (it would always boot into android [and not loop], but after a couple restarts, it showed an error about the System UI crashing that would pop up every time I dismissed it, and continued doing so after each restart after that). CM11 seems to be running well on the phone (but only in my very limited test while transitioning between ROMs and such).

I unfortunately cannot provide a log due to not being able to run any logging app during bootup, but hopefully I have provided enough details above to allow understanding of the issue and maybe bring suggestions on how to fix it. I can provide any more information needed on request. I really would like to get this phone back up and running (and especially on this ROM as I do love the work the creator has put into it).

Sorry for the very large wall of text :| Thank you in advance for any suggestions on how to proceed from here :)
