[Defy Android Development] r3flux:
Boot Loop after RC1

Existing RC0. Steps taken to upgrade (using Custom Recovery):

1. Nandroid Backup -> Successful

2. Installed RC1 -> Boot Loop

3. Tried Wipe Cache + Install RC1 -> Boot Loop

4. Tried Wipe Data + Install RC1 -> Boot Loop

5. Tried Restore -> Successful -> Boot Stuck @ Motorola Logo

Ouch! What now? Any suggestions?
[Defy Android Development] r3flux:
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Epsylon!

Wish you a rocking trip around the Sun yet again!
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
no, maybe your phone doesnt like rabbids :p

when i have this problem in my tests, i use the bootmenu adb to check logcat

if you had a kernel panic (phone reboot), you can use :

adb shell

dd if=/dev/block/kpanic of=/tmp/kpanic

busybox strings /tmp/kpanic

old overclock settings (with ondemand for example) can't be the problem?
[Defy Android Development] KambiuM:
There is definitely a problem with the auto backlight in RC1 for me... I came from RC0. Wiped cache+dalvik before and after flash (after I had the problem).

It changes even when the light situation remains the same. Also the hardware button backlight is buggy.
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Hm. And suddenly it works, without me changing a thing, I just thought.. Let's give it another go. And go it did. Huzzah :) I can't say I'm fond of not knowing why it worked this time though.
[Defy Android Development] androidtester80:
I can't open Privacy in Settings.
[Defy Android Development] sp8y:
Works fine for me.

[Defy Android Development] naenee:
I have no such problem with RC1. Which version did you run previously? Is there anything in your Logcat file? Can you describe what happens - does the menu just not continue, but otherwise stay responsive?
[Defy Android Development] ndanl:
So far no problem for me, everything works more or less as I want :) but overall its ok.

Screwed!

When I tried flashing Nordic, it stopped halfway and came up with BootLoader 'Code Corrupt'

Then I tried flashing 2.51 boot-only sbf -> FAIL

Next I tired 2.21 boot-only sbf -> 100%

Now boot loader shows Error Code a5,69,4e,00,41

Tried Nordic again -> FAIL

Worried battery at 30% last I checked!

Tried Nordic again -> WORKED! Whew!
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
happy first bad flash :p had a lot of them when trying to fix my phone 2 months ago... i tried almost everything including, flash stops and even an hardware reset... which dont do anything (opened the beast)
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:

Epsylon3 happy birthday!!! (still june/24 here in Brazil)

Well, i installed BOOT179 over Nordic 177 and all running ok.

Just want to know how to disable led when battery is charging.

Thanx in advance.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
remount system as rw, then in /system/build.prop you need to set

ro.battery_light=false

and reboot
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
if you have problems with usb (ive problems here on windows too), you can turn on adb over network, and type "adb connect 192.168...." with the wifi ip

on linux, dont have these problems, adb is working

but, over network setting is not kept if you reboot device (security purpose)

this feature is not in official CM7, but help us to enhance it...

oh, also you can use that with Moto Phone Portal over usb : ("Portail & Outils" in french)

C:\Users\Epsylon3>adb connect 192.168.16.2

connected to 192.168.16.2:5555

Note: my adb.exe was updated on 16 Jun... maybe this version is not fully compatible with usb on windows :/
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
I remember there was a red led in recovery to indicate the mount problem. Does it still exist?
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
yes... but now led is red when system is read only... never unmounted in our recovery version (except if i forgot one), but a remount rw could be missing somewhere
[Defy Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
Thanx Epsylon3, i know some parameters are easy to setting but i was afraid to make something wrong and need to install from scrath, and i prefer ask before make changes in parameters.

BTW, I made it using Root Explorer.
[Defy Android Development] r3flux:
Back to Square 1

Unbelievably, I got back to square 1. I flashed Nordic and installed CM7 RC0 to be safe! Same loop!? I wanted to logcat as you said an in the bootmenu, I went to ADB Daemon and it just returned back to the menu. Where do I access the shell and enter those commands to get the logcat?

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I knew I should have just stayed with RC0...but seing RC1, I wanted to give it a shot and see if my issue#5 on github would be gone...

Result: issue still there the same...

Try to go back to RC0 the usual way and then restore my backup....bootlops.

Try to flash nordic....process go through RSDlite say 100% rebooted but phone is bootlooped on Android screen.

Try to access stock recovery to factory reset: see the robot but no way to access it (I know about the tapping on the lower right corner...)

Try again with nordic: same result

Try with my Chinese stock Froyo sbf: at the beginning of 'rebooting phone' step everything stops, the phone screen turned black, RSD right away says finished. And my phone is DEAD.

Nothing works now: no boot loader mode, tried volume up and down + power button when inserting battery...nothing.

@!#@!#@$#%#$ :mad:

Ep3: Sorry, but your workaround on bootloader might be useful to be able to include some kernel or something; but all I know is that it ****s our hability to use CWM properly and easilly restore nand backups...now it did even more and killed my freakin phone.
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
Your battery may run out, try to charge it outside.
[Defy Android Development] drwario:
Flash sbf again. Enter stock recovery. Do factory reset.
[Defy Android Development] drwario:
After you get that battery charged dude
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
I think you misunderstand something: no one here is a Motorola employee, there's no warranty that this software will work for you, and, above all, everyone in this DEVELOPMENT THREAD assumes that you read before try it.

This said, the answer for your problem is some pages ago, search yourself. And if you think that I was rude, try to re-read your post and think about the people that are coding this for free, for people like you and me.
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
RC1 use 179 boot.img, which may incompatible with RC0's 2nd-int, so it get bootloop. Just restore the boot.img in your backup may end the bootloop.

And it is important to wipe in stock recovery before flash a new sbf.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I don't think your comment was rude and I totally agree with you.

I'm sorry if my comment was rude - I was just frustrated.

My phone is not completely dead: even if the screen is blank, RSD somehow still sees my phone connected but flashing doesn't go through; it never finishes the rebooting. (I'm at my 6th flashing now...)

I can not access stock recovery: see the exclamation mark but nothing respond.

Battery is still around 70%.

And I have read pretty much all of this thread.

What can I do?

Sorry again if I was rude....
[Defy Android Development] bobo9900:
for stock recovery, in exclamation mark, press vol up+down simultanously.

tap screen corner is for eclair.

hope its help.
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Sunoldman might have a point there.. Try it out Al..
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
It did help thanks!

I really though I was the first one to kill a Defy... that 10 minutes spent with a phone with black screen and not booting no matter what was scary.

Sorry again. I feel like an a$$...throw some tomatoes at me please I deserve them.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Well, works for me. Either Epsylon3 did not pull the fix in his repo, or you actually have a red lens. Do you get 4x or 6x max zoom?

Edit: It looks like it's the former. Epsylon3, did you build the RC from the tpruvot repo? You forgot to merge the vendor repo ...
[Defy Android Development] mlkz:
just got RC1 this morning...

and woaw woaw woaw

my defy got superhot,

when you overcharge, it seems it wont stop charging!

so hot man, i'm afraid i broke my defy.

i create nandroid backup,

then i slept about 3 hours... and with usb charge plugged on it :(

phone is still on custom recovery, process done..

but when i touch it was like i touch a hot cofee or something.

is that normal?

For all 2.51 ROM users:

My way to CM7:

- root your Android 2.1 (2.51 build)

- install BootMenu - Recovery, 2nd Init , v0.5.1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1026853

- flash fixed 3.4.2-177.sbf via rsd http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966537

- boot Bootmenu

- wipe cache and date

- install CM7 zip

Downgrade to Android 2.1 (2.51. Build) is possible (no problems with warrenty)
[Defy Android Development] ketonkss4:
I just installed the TEST build that Quarx uploaded a few hours ago and I must say it is looking more and more complete.. Im almost thinking about leaving it on the phone for normal use. Wi-fi works just fine wpa2 encryption. Initially it was saying i was out of range but after disabling and re-enabling it worked just fine. Was able to run videos from you loaded quickly and smoothly. Made a succesful call just fine with no problem. Contacts synced from gmail and facebook, however it was not able to load the contacts saved directly to the phone. Strangely however, although calls work.. my 3g was not working at all. Not sure why. Google maps was able to pinpoint my location but when i tried to navigate to a location I have a "Searching for gps" message at the bottom of the screen. But the compass appears to be functioning fine. Camera works fine even flash works. Audio works.

Really impressed with the progress made on this rom, I think quarx will be able to crank out a final build quite soon.

After some research maybe i've found some ways to get ISL29030 (proximity & light sensor) to work:

1. a close sensor source code

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/staging/iio/light/isl29018.c

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/staging/iio/iio.h

2. phones with similar sensors:

DROID 2 with same sensor isl29030

3. HTC DESIRE HD with ISL29028

WHICH ALREADY HAS CM7!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957336

differences between sensors are minimal (ISL30 is better) and i hope they need the same driver

hope that helps!

[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Don't ever leave the phone charging while at recovery. When at recovery there is no kind of power management and the CPU runs continuously, which will get the phone hot. If it is charging too, it will get even more hot!
[Defy Android Development] ndanl:
LE: nevermind :)
[Defy Android Development] mlkz:
yea.. my bad..

i slept about 3 hours...

and forgot to pull usb charge while still on custom recovery :(

i hope there's nothing wrong about my battery because of that...

i pull of my battery and it feels so freaking hot :(

i'm worried because i feel it drains so fast by now,

or maybe just a placebo effect... ;)

------

um for Epsylon3,

i think it's better to add feature:

when there's no activity at all on custom recovery, about 30 minutes, defy will turn off by itself.

so nobody will reproduce my stupidity this morning... :)

So can it's possible and how compile cyanogen mod for Gingerbread ROM 2.3.4 ?

Can i modify manualy and how for compatibility ?

My first strange experience today. Suddenly I could not get 3G at all. My previously working Central Europe baseband failed to work. Now on retail Europe 3.4.2-145 which seems to work for now. I just don't understand why so suddenly.
[Defy Android Development] youbaoer:
Call out failure

When I called out, the screen showed connecting and lasted 13s. But no voice, not connected at all, then the calls ended. I tried times and with another phone no. of different carrier.

After reboot, it works now. Really hope this will never happen again.

P.S.: I flashed the CM zip on 3.4.3-36(Hong Kong version) firmware.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I wonder if the 3.4.2-177 baseband has issues with the 179 kernel, that would explain why my 3G suddenly died. Anyone can find the baseband files from the 179 CEE so I can test?

[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Could be, had the same and forced to change SDcard. Now never hangs at reboot,
[Defy Android Development] RexXxuS:
Did you format your SD card completely (slow mode)?
[Defy Android Development] xblosa:
but warnings, or advices :

Could we elaborate on this a little bit more?

* always reboot after backup

* failing to to so will light the red LED during install indicating something went wrong

Is this correct ?? Could we pin this warning somewhere?

I had a red LED during install and did not know what it meant, I did not reboot between backup and install. Ended in Bootloop at M
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Red LED = /system partition mounted in RO mode. Thus, cannot be upgraded properly. If you ever see RED LED, do not attempt to install or upgrade, reboot ASAP and try again.
[Defy Android Development] RexXxuS:
Just sharing my procedure:

yesterday I wanted to upgrade vom 22 June nightly to RC1. The backup fails, because "sd-ext" was missing. (red led). Tried to reboot few times, but still red led. So I thought, "hey ho, let's go" and flashed RC1 without backup (while flashing NO red led though) ^.^

Everything runs great, smooth and I'm round up happy! :)

As I mentioned, before I flashed RC1, I recognized the good battery drain (horizontal battery curve in battery monitor widget). Now it is still the same! Very good work developer! :)

Good WLAN, Camera and so on.

BUT I say again: the first thing after flashing was uninstall the crap 3D Gallery apk ;P

Just install QuickPic instead.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Yea, but in fact it is not so simple... Some operations will remount rw before procedures, and some other will not...

I will add a remount rw in updater_script to be sure...

AL, as i said before, before nandroid restore of old nightly, you need to use BOOT177 or use the Manual restore "boot" if your nandroid backup have it (not all have it, recent backups only)

Oh, and the sd-ext warning is not a problem...
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Epsylon3,

If I get the latest CEE sbf with the 179 kernel, can I extract the baseband files mounting it with a command like this? "mount -o loop ./system.img /some/path/"

I will decompile the sbf of course first.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Yea, dont have problems with photo exif time here, its good. Was GMT before your fix.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
yes,

sudo -s

mkdir /mnt/system

mount -o loop CG39.smg -t ext3 /mnt/system

you can use "md5sum *" in etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/ to show differences
[Defy Android Development] m_zet:

Thank you, I will attempt it after work if I have time today, otherwise tomorrow.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
only GSM file is different from the ones in the zip file.... but we backup these baseband files since some time now... so last change in baseband tool is used, even after upgrades
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Well, if you read the past posts you'll notice I had 3G issues, that was the reason I wanted to check!

I know about the backup, but the kernel changed recently to the 179 one, and yesterday was the 1st time I tried to switch it to 3G cause I needed the network. And it failed!

EDIT: If only the GSM file is different I wonder if it will affect anything at all. *sigh*
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
I just saw that in the tpruvot manifest you're using the CyanogenDefy vendor/motorola/jordan. Everything should indeed be fine in that case, except for the red lens (which nobody volunteered to test the lib I posted for).
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
Seems like the ones who likes testing are having green lens:-) maniac it is not possible that the camra reports wrong frame rates? because when i would like to record at 10 fps it will be 8 and when on 15 it will be 13 when on 24 it is 20? Or the problems are because motorola cannot write a bug free lib:-)
