Weird, after wiping data and installing black version, i have bootloops, can't even get into the recovery.. On white version didn't have that problems.. Is there a way to get into recovery now? Or only reflash through flashtool?

Do a fresh install.

Do you have a C5302 or C5303.
Click to expand...
C5303, never had any problems with white version, I think it might be because of TWRP, as I wiped data in it, because philz doesn't recognize sdcard0. Anyhoo, i'm doing a fresh install atm, redownloaded rom again, will try this time with CWM
