Spontaneous random reboots; boot loop

Whelp, I've gone back to EC05Plus. EF02 was nice and speedy, but after about two weeks I started getting the occasional random reboot, dropped signals, and wifi/3G weirdness. No biggy at first. But today, it spontaneously rebooted and then fell into an infinite boot loop.

I wasn't using my phone any differently than usual. It just started happening spontaneously. I've gone back to EC05Plus because it never gave me any issues like that.

I'm just posting this here in case anyone else experiences the same thing.

I look forward to the "Plus" version of official GB when it's released. For now, I think I'm safer sticking with the Froyo. EC05Plus is still a near-perfect ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
Just started using it today. Hopefully i dont run into the same problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
Last night, and now today my phone started doing the "you just plugged in a usb cord" thing while it's sitting there. Maybe every 5-15 minutes.

Just started charging a couple hours ago, but I'm listening to a ball game. I'll try rebooting when it's done.

(Also, I get the triple vibrate from acore on boots, Im pretty sure that's important, so I always just hit wait.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
sounds like you have a corruption from restoring data
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Has anyone had problems installing updated? I keep getting "Package file is invalid" (e.g., Evernote). Uninstalled it and tried to do a fresh reinstall - no dice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] art3mis-nyc:
For anyone have VVM issues, heres a way that works to fix it.

** you may need to wait for chris to update teh kernel in the OP or doa new version of EF02Plus

Step by Step instructions

^^ make sure you follow those exactly and it should start pulling in your sprint VVM

**note this is ONLY for the Sprint voicemail download thingy, the issue doesnt effect gvoice voicemails.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
Could be. I only restored apps and their data. I have had to clear data on a handful of them. I'd try starting over except for a) after doing it the hard way with the free version for a couple years, I finally broke down and just paid for Titanium :p b) it doesn't seem to be causing any major issues. The acore thing doesn't happen anymore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] su8z3ro:
Install Aptoide and Aptoide repos from the market run Aptoide repos to install and update the repos then search HBO GO download and install.... :D:D:D it wont update automatically but, it works and you can check Aptoide for updates.... Just my 2 cents...

Put that in /system/ should work
[Epic 4G Android Development] notmyepic:
I tried to download this fix, but it is no longer there. Could someone please repost it?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
I'm on my phone, so I can't post, but it was broke for me too. It shows u the filename somewhere, I just googled that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rob97ss:
Just flashed to my wifes phone,took awhile to boot,but so far all is good..netflix is working also..:).....Thanks..
[Epic 4G Android Development] r3s0lv3:
flashed it and now my phone is sitting on the S boot screen and vibrating in a "dun ... dun dun dun. pattern >_>
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
Redownload the tar file and really flash it again
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Supposed to do that, let it sit there...
[Epic 4G Android Development] mannyhernz:
hey chris had another efo2 rom on my phone went back to ec05.

so i want to try yours but can i restore data from the old efo2 (using cmw3.1purple)i had before so i dont have to setup all my apps and accounts without having any issues?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chouston33:
My launcherpro plus and adw launcher ex is acting weird on this rom. Whenever I click on a widget that has a popup like the contacts widget or simi folder the screen goes black and will keep blinking but the popup still stays there. Any help?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
I don't recommend restoring data, but try it and if it works without crashes then cool... if you get crashes or other weird behavior its probably the data restore
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
how stable is this? as far as GPS working and such.... i really wanted the froyo plus rom but if this can be a daily driver i may use it
[Epic 4G Android Development] r3s0lv3:
just wondering, why is it supposed to vibrate so much?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Its been mentioned tons of times in this thread, but on the first boot, it moves dalvik-cache to /cache/dalvik-cache and rebuilds it. Takes longer for some than others...
[Epic 4G Android Development] htc_joe:
under task manager ram clear were is the option for level 1 and level 2 to clear ram
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Removed in gingerbread

Level 2 was dangerous and therefore for the most part useless
[Epic 4G Android Development] htc_joe:
How was it dangerous. I liked how it stopped all things.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
including text messaging
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
it stopped crucial system services, such as text messaging.. causing the infinite sending syndrome...

it would also stop the phone function, reseting the modem.... basically it would make the phone run slower because it restarted all those services that are level 2 anyway...
[Epic 4G Android Development] su8z3ro:
This rom is wicked fast (1368 on quadrant for what it is worth...) And it is very stable so far... (only been running about 6 hours...) Hopefully it will maintain its stability in the time to come... Very nice work... Now if we could only get tvout and fm radio(pipe dream...lol)....
[Epic 4G Android Development] handymanjames:
14 hours and 40% of my battery left.

I love this rom and you should too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
does this have the new gtalk with voice or can it use it? that would be my main reason to upgrade. also is battery life good? not talking about on wifi (thats always good).
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
honestly i dont remember if its in this version or not, but i know it works.. its included in the update ill be releasing any day now
[Epic 4G Android Development] htc_joe:
I have terribly bad battery life. Drops to zero in a few hours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
wow really? i get 16-18 hours minimum... on heavy heavy use.. maybe you should reflash and recalibrrate the battery..
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
Anyone else install launcher pro? If so, anyone else having it "rebuild" the app drawer all the time? It used to only happen the first time on loading up, presumably caching the apps it found, and then not again. Now it's like it does the app scan/drawer rebuilt almost every time.

It happened occasionally on other roms, but now it happens constantly (I'm not sure it ever doesn't happen.)

It also seems to do a similar thing with the home screen, though not nearly as noticable.

Anyone have any ideas? Am I alone on this?

Edit: And just to add for people on the fence, these threads are ALWAYS going to be filled with problems. Many, like this, are probably something we/I did, or didn't do. Don't let them turn you off, this is an excellent rom, and I can't wait for the update chris hinted at.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
still waiting to hear if there are any major bugs or loss of functionality aka GPS borked, etc
[Epic 4G Android Development] professoroak:
W

This sorta happens for me on Go Launcher. I set the app to "system persistent" but it always seems to have to rebuild everything when I hit the home button as well as going into the app drawer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
This isn't permanent, and no
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
I wouldnt put out a rom with MAJOR bugs or loss of functionality, that being said.. this is based on a leak, so YMMV

in other words, flash and find out what works for you. I use it as a daily driver and have 0 problems
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
wow no kidding about the vibrating.. its a little disconcerting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
Ha, sure is, but about 10 minutes after you're sure there's an actual problem, and 5 minutes after you've given up all hope of it working, it pulls out of the tailspin
[Epic 4G Android Development] htc_joe:
i was getting missed calls according to my Google voice integration.

I would get calls dropped.

I was getting bad battery life... drops real quick,,,

i odined back to ec05

root the phone with newest purple cwm

then charging the battery to full while phone on.

then turn phone off and charge until full

then turn phone on and charge until full

then do a ##786# and clear so phone number is reset to out of box and clean.

then turn phone off and charge until full

then go into cwm and delete battery stats and then wipe everything cache and delvik cache

then pull battery and odin to ef02 and then turn off phone and charge until full
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
i think i'm 5 minutes beyond that... abotu to do a battery pull

edit: yay its up!
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
is this the new stock font? i like it
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Looking forward to the update, been running this since you released it with no real issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
no, thats sonysketch
[Epic 4G Android Development] xm1337:
It makes me sad that its been "any day now" for a long time :(

I just hope it fixes the issues that I posted here that seemingly went unnoticed.

Love the rom, other than the current glitches i've been unable to fix:

- Random battery drain (reset fixes)

- Android System is currently taking up 40% of my battery. (with "keytracer" being the first thing in the included packages)

- Notification LED is broken, Permanently lit when screen is on and flashes with screen off and no notifications

- Ringtones fail to load sometimes. Gtalk/texting is 50/50. Double vibrates on a failed notification.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
i havent experienced any of those issues,but thats the nature of a leak i guess...

i dont release things until they are done and up to my standards...
[Epic 4G Android Development] su8z3ro:
bugs?

i installed this rom lastnight its still running great.... i noticed that the sprint zone has been removed and when i install the apk it says that the device is still booting up and closes.... also last night i tried installing the chris41g's rotation lag fix and after restarting i was met with a mountain of force closes.... i pulled the battery and restored from nandroid backup but the rom seems kind of delicate like installing the wrong software could trow off the balance of the various components working together.... i guess my question is should i be careful what i install as far as themes or is it just that particular fix?

su8z3ro
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
you cant run that lag fix on this rom, its for stock deodexed only... it replaces the framework, and that causes FCs
[Epic 4G Android Development] su8z3ro:
thanks for the reply... i thought this was the case.... is there another fix that is compatible?....and anything on the sprint zone app?

su8z3ro
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
fixed in release 1.1, i swear im releasing soon =) and the sprint zone thing.. try not installing it, just copying back to /system/app/
[Epic 4G Android Development] htc_joe:
i went to stock ec05 via odin

then did your rom again as i was missing calls and all....

then after using odin of your rom all i got this time around was vibrate after vibrate....

now on stock rooted and now my phone is not hot anymore... when yours was running a few days ago my phone got hotter then a pig in all you can eat buffet.

any ideas? i even redownloaded and even checked the re-partition box as well... even tried in bootloader box for odin and the pda box for odin same thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Its supposed to vibrate for a while on first boot..
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
Anyone get the new market to install?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1166238
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
yes i got the new market installed yesterday, have to push to system/app then clear data and reboot
[Epic 4G Android Development] Psycoboy15:
Is there a battery mod that shows the 1% battery or something similiar to that, that works with this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmexx:
I am running the androidman battery and it works fine.. It is in the themes section.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kr@w:
Hmm interesting. My battery is like death on wheels right now..

Edit: tried to upload a screen capture from Shootme but it isn't working. Will do so tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] htc_joe:
if it vibrates on first boot then their is something wrong as it should never do that.

also when i had it working last week on the phone it never vibrated after first install.

also last week when it was working the phone became super crazy hot.

I took it off went to stock phone was normal temp.

placed another stock ef03 with busybox and cwm (TAR) and it now is normal temp.

quadrant score for the rooted cwm busy box tar of ef02 is like 1256 i think...
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
If you read the thread you would know why it vibrates... nothing wrong with it... I've never had a problem with temps, but its a leak so ymmv...
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
this has been workign really well... figured i'd be off it by now but i think i'll stick with it for a bit. only issues i'm having are probably leak related. slacker keeps breaking my dock/charge connection, and i can't get more then 4/10 satellites, so my gps can't get a good lock on me in maps/navigation. oh and the lag on orientation but i don't use it that much anyway
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
does spare parts even work with this build?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Yes, just not battery history...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Major_Nate:
I read previous posts, but didn't see anything related...

Is anyone else having issues where the bluetooth radio will not turn on? It will just act like it is turning on, then after a while, turn back off. I have tried reflashing thru ODIN, etc.

Also, the map fix posted earlier in the thread has a 404 error when you go to the accompanying download link. Anyone have the map fix still?

Thanks in advance! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ski21:
To flash this rom, do I just put the tar file in the phone or pda in odin right. There are no other files needed except for the tar file in post 1 correct? I don't need any pit files do I?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
No pit needed but it wont hurt, and put the tar in PDA
[Epic 4G Android Development] htc_joe:
When I flash this I no longer see the white samsung logo. How can I get it back
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
Anyone have this fix?

The link is broken. Needed for WeatherBug....
[Epic 4G Android Development] htc_joe:
weather bug elite works fine for me

i paid for it,.
[Epic 4G Android Development] htc_joe:
tried it again the three vibrate and 1 virbrate...

this rom not work....
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
im not sure what exactly you are having problems with, but the rom works fine... for most people, explain your problem and maybe i can help you. "rom not work" is not a valid problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] ski21:
I just flashed this rom, and currently running the sprint hotspot hack on it. When you first flash it does the vibrate, reboot, vibrate for a Looooooooong time. Be very patient, it does work. It even started the vibrate after I flashed the hotspot hack, and I thought ohhhh no, but it booted up and everything was good. Just be patient the rom is working great. I'm not sure if it's the rom or my new prl i just flashed, but I'm actually getting service in part of my house that I didn't get it in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] htc_joe:
ok i went into odin

check all top rows for repartition auto reboot and f.reset time

and then i use the pit

then i use the .tar

then no white samsung logo just bottom keys lit and then three vibrate and then one vibrate later on then later on again three vibrate and then later on 1 vibrate
[Epic 4G Android Development] ski21:
I'm having a problem with the market app. Everytime I open it, it just says error try again later. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
that would be a problem... you shouldnt check repartition.. now you need a full stock odin tar.md5 with a pit, and repartition, then come back and odin this with only reboot checked... never check anything but reboot when odning unless you are haveing a problem..
[Epic 4G Android Development] ski21:
Fixed market problem, by installing the new market app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
I have WeatherBug Elite as well (Amazon) and it does not work for me. When I click on it, it vibrates once, tries to open, then vibrates twice and comes with a force close message.

All other apps work fine that I've tried.

People said earlier this patch fixed it, however it is no longer available.

I'm sure someone out there has it and can re-post it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
make sure you update google maps first
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
My Google Maps is up to date and WeatherBug still crashes.

This is the second time installing the ROM and it does it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
uninstall the update... and delete the Maps.apk from /system/app/ then reboot. then install Google Maps from the market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] makmoneynslp:
im haveing the same issue and i left it runnin for about 30 mins while it vibrate on the boot
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
No luck. It still force closes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
ok the modem crash issue is making me a not happy camper. no fault of the rom.. just buggy leak. i need to get off this but i dont' want to go back to stock. any chance of the froyo plus rom being ready?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
try odining the EC05 modem with this rom first and see if that helps you out..

Common issues amongst various phones. The official Gingerbread is due any day now. I'm positive its this week.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TabascoJoe:
I loaded this ROM twice...

Both times formatting every partition using Clockwork and checking every setting in Odin, including the dreaded re-partition. The first load my phone vibrated for about 15min and started up. Whats odd is that on the second load it only vibrated once and booted right in under 2min. How can this be? My phone was formatted both times, the install should have been the same on both loads. Not that I am complaining. This ROM is rock solid, I have not had any application issues or random reboots. The only odd thing is that sometimes when I shutdown the phone I get the vibration for a crashed app and the phone reboots.
[Epic 4G Android Development] retrobits:
Absolutely love this rom. Very stable gingerbread, just what I wanted.

My fav feature so far (one I've been wanting since I got my epic) is that the button leds do not light up when touching the screen. This makes reading at night so much easier on the eyes. The leds do light up just fine when touching a hardware button.

Warning to all n00bs, first boot will take a long time and vibrate a lot. Just go do something else for a while and don't worry.
[Epic 4G Android Development] x130844:
Hello, anyone with issues with this rom with the proximity sensor not kicking in when talking on the phone?

(ear dialing random numbers, hanging up etc).

Nevermind, found that it is a problem with no fix yet.

My phone wont go into usb debugging after I installed this rom. Im using the same cable the same slot.

Ive tried rebooting my PC and myphone to no luck.

Its saying USB connected but it wont go into debugging.

Is there anything I can do?

I want to unlock the phone USing CWM
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Not sure I understand what you mean by unlock the phone? And are you checking the box for usb debugging? If it says usb connected, that's the only icon that comes up in the notification bar in gingerbread for usb debugging... try adb devices..

I was running Bamboozled 1.0 with good results, although it had a few problems that I wanted to see if I could fix by reflashing. I read others said to start out with EF02+ first so I installed it. After about a 20 minute wait with it buzzing it finally booted. But I seem to be having the same issues I was having with ACS Bamboozled.

1. Spare Parts FC's anytime you try to see the battery stats.

2. Facebook App does not update all the time. This may be a FB issue, I'm not sure. But the FB app only loads up a few posts. When trying to load older ones it won't bring them up.

Other than that I really like the buttery smoothness of this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Gingerbread accesses battery stats differently, so the stats in spareparts doesnt work.. nothing that can be done AFAIK... and I don't have any problems with facebook...
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
The facebook issue is baffleing me. Its been happening since I switched from SRF 1.2. Only switched because I wanted to see what all the big deal is about.

To my suprise Gingerbread actually brings a lot of asthetics to the table. It looks so much better and seems to run a bit smoother than Froyo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
My wife's phone is stock and she's been having fb issues like this recently. Don't think its the rom.

[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Thanks. Couple more questions. When I flash this in Odin, should I use the new 1.81 that comes with Gingerbread leak? If so, what slot do I put it in? What about pit or modem? What boxes should be checked?

As you can tell, I haven't used Odin very often. I don't need the full qbking video, but just some basics.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Use new odin. Put in pit, uncheck EVERYTHING except for auto reboot.

DO NOT CHECK REPARTITION!!!
