Stuck in Boot Screen

Alrighty I`m kinda mad at me right now....

So I managed to get LineageOS running somehow yesterday (believe me I was soo happy) I started setting everything up, it was stable and my life was good.

At that point I had the latest TWRP running, because I updated it, my phone was fully rooted (SuperSu) installed and RootChecker confirmed it and the only tiny modifications I did, was to install Viper4Arise and Dolby Atmos following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okbLJwIT848 and the Original ZTE Camera (found in another forum here at xda) and I was also quite pleased with the result.

Well today I managed to basically destroy the dream I was living yesterday....

LineageOS showed me that there was an update available, and I went ahead and used the inbuild function to install it, it downloaded, booted into Recovery, flashed and booted normally again, so everything was fine.

But I noticed, that the update apparently uninstalled Viper4Arise/DolbyAtmos and the ZTE Camera. Since I really liked the sound I achieved with Viper I wasn`t pleased with that. First I booted into Recovery and flashed the Camer-zip-file, which I still had on my storage. I booted again, everything worked and I had the camera back.

Then I did the same with the Zip Files for Viper and Dolby and I was also able to boot into LineageOS and had those installed. I opened Viper, but it somehow failed to gain root access, even though my phone is rooted. I opened SuperSu (I have installed the latest version from the lineageOS website) and It told me it needed an update of some sort and gave me two options to do it.

I selected "normal" but it failed, so I went ahead and chose "TWRP" which booted into recovery started a process, which succeded.

But ever since I´m stuck in the lineageOS Splash Screen(Boot screen... the one with the Kraken or what it`s supposed to be) and it simply won`t boot up fully.

I let it sit for around 40 mins, then I decided to boot into recovery again, adb sideload the remove SuperSu file (also from LineageOS website) flashed it, which worked and then flash the SuperSu file again, which also worked. (I want to stay rooted, so I can possibly get Viper4Arise/Dolby back up working, because I can`t get used to the sound without it again (personal opinion))

Still that process didn`t help in any way and I`m still stuck in the splash screen. I booted into recovery again and did a factory reset using the TWRP wipe option. Which, also didn`t help....

Now I`m pretty helpless and actually at the point, where I would pay a small amount (via PayPal) to everyone who might be able to get my phone running again (LineageOS + Viper if possible) and give me advice on how to avoid situations like mine in the future! If someone has good advice, or is willing to even spend some time with me on skype/teamviewer/etc. I would appreciate it A LOT and am willing to give you a small reward for your effort! Thanks in advance for any help! Let`s see if we can get me back to having a phone ^^

I`m also really sorry if this was already answered in this thread, but I currently don`t have the time to go through the 200 pages ... hope that`s at least a little understandable and I am really sorry for the fact!
