[SOLVED] Bootloop after flashing Open Gapps 8.1

[KBOOM1]

It seems that I get a bootloop whenever I'm flashing Open Gapps 8.1 on my XT1622, official or unofficial, pico, nano or mini. At first I thought that it could just take a while until everything is up and ready, so I left my phone on for an hour and it wouldn't pass the boot animation. Sometimes a forced reboot after flashing an 8.1 ROM and Gapps gets the phone up and running, but the Play Services crash and I cannot log into Google. Did you guys have this issue? If yes, is there any fix for it?

Can you please explain which rom and version and which gapps you want to flash? If you are not sure, please give the link.

Pixel experience rom for example comes with gapps, so there's no need to flash gapps seperately.

Well I am trying to install OmniRom (11 march build) with the latest Gapps (the micro version). I had this issue with AOSPExtended, Ressurection Remix and AICP using the lastest (at that moment) Gapps.

You can also try unofficial gapps https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291693774

After flashing, mount system from TWRP, go to the "Advanced" tab, click on Terminal and type the following command:


echo "ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED" >> /system/build.prop


This did the job for me, since it appears that there is a problem with the Setup Wizard on arm64 gapps.

Use BeansGapps Mini. OpenGapps has problems.

Thank you! This also works on the 32-bit Gapps.

Well, after you flash your desired ROM and gapps, go to the main TWRP menu, click on "Mount" and check the "system" option. Make sure that "Mount system read-only" is NOT checked. After that, go to the main menu, go to "Advanced" and tap on "Terminal". Type the command, tap on enter (on the keyboard obviously), go to the main menu, go to "Reboot" and tap on "System". Done. Now you wait for the system to boot, will usually take a max of 8-10 minutes (for the first boot).

What the command specifically does is that it disables the Setup Wizard that you see when you boot your phone for the first time, because it causes boot loops with OpenGapps 8.1. After that, you can just go to "Settings" and you will most probably be greeted with the "Finish setup" option (Or "Finish setting up your Pixel" option) that essentially does the exact same thing as the Setup Wizard would do.

I installed this Official RRemix Oreo:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/development/rom-resurrection-remix-6-0-0-land-11-feb-t3747992
from May 11 together open_gapps-arm64-8.1-nano-20180511.zip (both install and reboot) and the system started without any problems and no Google services FC.
Maybe in this rom dev solved this problem :good:

Hi this did not work for me I installed 8.1 oreo from mad os on a Jiayu S3+ (MTK6753) with open gapps mini, I get the reboot loop I added the line to build.prop and confirmed it was there by cat (ing) the file to the screen but it still goes into a reboot loop again to confirm I reboot to twrp and cat the file again the line is still there.
Any idea's thanks in advance

Well since it's a MTK phone I'd recommend that you try booting the ROM by itself, with no gapps, and see how that goes. You're going to have a hard time getting help for this kind of phones, so if that model is more popular in your country, then maybe you can get help on some local forum, that might have a topic dedicated to that phone. Otherwise, even if I don't like to say it, Google is your best friend.

I have having a similar problem on the wileyfox swift 2 on arm64 gapps, in theory will this work on this device too?

Was going to try however on 22% battery so need to recharge, so thought I would check first.

Thanks

Yes, that would be fine with any ROM, Gapps or device.

Yes it worked fine thank.

Just the 'charging slowly' and SD card issues to sort now.

Thanks for your help.

Hello everyone. The solution didn't work for me. BeansGapps neither.
I flash AOSP Extended 5.8 - 20180816-2211-OFFICIAL, wipe Cache, flash OpenGapps ARM64-8.1-nano-20170906, wipe again. Then I make the above changes and reboot. Still bootloop. It does make the sound, it usually does when the phone is booted, after a while though.

Yeah, I have noticed it a while back, Google must have done fricc something. From what I can tell you, the best you can do is hope that either OpenGapps or MindTheGapps will work on the ROM you are flashing, and if OpenGapps is the only one to work but has no network signal then wipe system and flash the same ROM with BeansGapps, without wiping data. Also, you should know that the equivalent for MindTheGapps is OpenGapps Pico.

And also, Note 1: Don't use outdated Gapps
Note 2: BeansGapps is very outdated

Thank you for your help. I tried the latest OpenGapps nano at first. After your notion, I also tried OpenGapps pico without any luck.
This evening I will try MindTheGapps, but my hopes are not very high.
