Hi

Few days ago, my device started to give me problems with a infinite loop boot.

The device boot, but when it is loading all the apps, or a little after that, the device makes a "mini" reboot, the screen goes black, the music goes on and the device tries to load again all the apps and the UI, and I lost the connectivity.

I don't know if its a device, sd card or any new app or upgraded one. How can I know that? Any possibility to monitor the boot and looks what is the problem?

Any other idea?

More and more people keep having this problem. Your phone suddenly has tons of force closes, and becomes unfunctional. Well we seem to have a problem with our recovery, possibly causing a corrupt partition. There is a solution .......use odin to flash the stock recovery tar found in development. Boot into stock recovery.. wipe data, and cache 3 times each ,and boot the rom back up. Then use rom manager to flash the tmobile gs2 cwm recovery. This does work. And has been proven numerous times.

Here is the stock recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360943.

If for some reason you still have this issue after following my advice. Use odin to flash the stock firmware tar found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342348. After your done. Let it boot. If u get the force closes. Then proceed to power off, boot into stock recovery, and then wipe your data/cache, and reboot

Is there a difference between the TMobile GS2 CWM recovery and the CWM recovery flashed using this method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1340526)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Izmir Stinger:
I had the described problem, but wiping and reloading the intended ROM in CWM recovery fixed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
That is good but alot of times that does not work. It can actually get to the point where it will not read the internal sd card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
How are you guys flashing....and what are you flashing that is giving you these issues.

I have yet to experience these issues on T-Mobile or skyrocket roms.

What are the exact steps you follow when flashing a from to begin with?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
I have experienced this on stock, and custom roms. And im not the only one. Alot of people have had this issue

Lets put it this way enough people have had this problem, and more will to the point where i made this thread, and asked a mod (jayharper08) to sticky it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
yes ALOT have......they may not have known it was a known issue and solved it. but it is there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
I am not saying you guys are not having issues...there has to be a reason I am not which is why I ask.....What steps exactly do you guys use to flash a rom and what roms. The process to fix it is great but if we could prevent it in the first place wouldn't that be better????.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] IT Rider:
Silver,

Question...based on several of your other posts in threads, if we have 2.3.6 and use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1340526 to root/install recovery, are things ok?

Or should we still follow this thread to update CWM via ROM Manager?

Thanks.

^^^

That was my question too. What's the difference between the two recovery's?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mehal88:
I was having the issue too. I had the issue on stock(pure from store) as well as stock rooted, skyrocketeer, and cm7.

One thing I have tied it to, which I am not sure is the true reason but I was too impatient to test it thoroughly, is excessive SMS messages.

I have over 32k messages currently stored on my HTC Inspire. These have been moved from my G1, to Nexus One, to Inspire with no issue at all. When importing to my Skyrocket, the messages will import fine for a while. Afterwards, I would get random FCs, screen freezes up(can't do anything, not even turn off the screen), and network disconnects. I can force a reboot by holding the power button and it will work for about 5 minutes and then repeat the issues as before.

At first I thought it was the specific device having radio issues so I exchanged it for a new unit at Best Buy. I was still having the same issues with the new unit so I just figured I could cut my losses (on screen protectors and phone case) by just returning the until outright. I figure I will wait for the ICS update for this phone, hoping it will be more stable. Maybe at that point I can compare with other phones available as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silkshocker:
I have had this problem repeating several times even after flashing the Rom and repeating steps as mentioned. I think it does it with a certain number of apps that downloaded from the market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Locoman_:
Is this a problem that develops as you start flashing more and more ROMs? Is there a known cause?

I'm new at this stuff - just rooted and tried my first ROM this week. I'm tempted to try others but if chances are good that I'll run into problems/issues even if I'm going about things the right way - I might hold off on making a change given that the phone is stable right now.

Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
NO rom does not cauz this issues. What causes issue is when you restore data from ur backups. Plus there is problem with cwm it does not fully wipe data because cwm was not particularly made for our phone. That being said you do not have to worry about a thing. I am flashaholic and i used to flash every other day since i m with Sky ice cream rom by Sean i don't flash a lot. Don't worry just try out all the roms you won't have problem by roms at all. There was only one rom that had problem Alien the first or second build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Locoman_:
Thank for the reply.

BTW, I'm using Sean's Sky IC too. Sooo nice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nutsngum:
Do you need to go into download mode to flash the recovery in ODIN? Or do you do it when the phone is just turned on regularly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
You have to go to dload mode in order to flash recovery. and use odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nutsngum:
I tried this process and I wanted to flash a new ROM. But in recovery mode it wouldn't read my SD card, and when I transferred the .zip to my internal memory and I tried to install it said I had no space.

Any ideas?

"DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU WANNA flash rom ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE FORCE CLOSE ISSUE"!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Haxel:
I'm going to refrain from going to deep, but wiping the dalvik cache more than once is asinine. If you want to save yourself some time, wipe the dalvik cache first and reboot. Wiping multiple times is an exercise in stupidity. Think "battery stats" debacle.

If you are wondering what the "dalvik cache" is: http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/76110-what-dalvik-cache.html

If you are wondering why I suggest JUST that first? Long story short, when "pre-fetch" cache goes corrupt these kinds of quirks can happen. There are multiple possible causes (theory being improper shutdown/close).

"Wipe Data" becomes effective if some of the system(usr) data becomes corrupt, but that wouldn't be as common. (can happen)

The OP is trying to be helpful and should be thanked for it.

Had the same issue started after i flashed the alien #4 build but had alien #3 previously flashed (Note: Issue was not because of the Alien builds) Flashed back to stock and havent experienced the issues since!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] weezalxc:
This just happened to me yesterday. I did nothing out of the ordinary. Turned on my phone and tons of FC's and it seemed like most things were back to original. I had stock ROM that came with the phone, rooted, and with the stock recovery. I'm glad this happened after ICS was leaked, cause this gave me a good reason to flash that - which seemed to fix things :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PJcastaldo:
Nice idea. But just doing a wipe or using one of the many wipe scripts floating around would also fix the problem.. I have also been a flash head since day one on this device and have never had these issues.. so its just odd...

I also believe telling people to do multiple wipes is kinda dumb.. 1 wipe = wiped... 3 wipes = wiped plus wasted time..

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozcgb:
hi, sorry if this is a NOOB question but i did try searching and couldnt find an answer

i have installed ICS alpha 4 its looks great but if i boot with my SIM card installed its asks for the SIM pin - BUT it doesnt show the keyboard so i cant enter the pin number.... if i boot without the sim installed it going straight through but i still have some trouble disbaling the hardware keyboard... i hope i explained that right...

so long msg short... how do i get the keyboard to show on the lockscreen so i can enter the SIM PIN ??

i hope someone can help as ICS alpha looks amazing :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuryFred:
Hi, i did have the same problem.

Reading through the ICS rom thread i found the solution to be disactivating PIN control while using a standard rom or by putting your sim in your phone and turning the option off.

Then ICS boots without asking SIM again.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red_rebel:
Hello,

I used for following trick:

- Go to lock screen by taping Back button on pin entering screen

- On lock screen tap clock in status bar to get popup window and tap setting icon

- On setting window - activate airplane mode and reboot

You will get into ICS without entering pin. Then use "Messages" app to get text entry field. In the status bar you will see small keyboard icon. Tap it and turn off HW keyboard. Now you should get on-screen keyboard and could switch off airplane mode and will be able to enter pin.

Regards.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gbdallin:
I am trying to restore my Inspire to stock because the Volume down key, for reasons unknown to me, no longer works. Because of this issue, however, I cannot go into HBOOT, as my volume down key won't work. Is there a way to push S-On and a stock rom from an installer via USB? Or a way to change which key is required?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
I you've got your PC set up to work with adb you can always do:

"adb reboot oem-42"

from a normally booted OS. That will force it to reboot to hboot, and then it will scan for a PD98IMG.zip on the SDCard. You can use the tool here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1208507

to restore to factory S-ON.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Just use ace hack kit to return to stock. No need to enter hboot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Genes method will work too. We both were responding at the same time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gbdallin:
Thanks for the quick responses. I ended up finding the Hack Kit and it worked flawlessly.... until I tried to use it for my replacement phone... It will not actually install. It will go through the full process, says it worked, but then I can only boot to the HTC screen, then it goes fuzzy and blanks out.

EDIT: after the screen 'browned out' I ran the installer a second time, and it seems to have installed, going to reboot real quick into HBOOT to see if I landed s-off

EDIT 2: HBOOT reports I have s-off. I'm going to assume that means I have root and all the fun stuff, too

I was just going to say to run it again from the blank screen but it seems you figured that out. :)

Ok, so I haven't figured out the cord thing yet (phone won't connect to any computer using the stock cord, I can get it to show its charging...thats it!), so I am wondering if there is anyway to unroot without a computer? PLEASE HELP!!! I AM GETTING DESPERATE!!!
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Open market and grab "terminal emulator", once you have it open it up and follow the steps as root (first thing you type into the terminal emulator is "su")

1./ remount /system to rw "busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

2./ erase root files "rm /system/xbin/su" "rm /system/bin/su" "rm /system/app/Superuser.apk" "rm /system/xbin/busybox"

3./ remount system ro and reboot "busybox mount -o remount,ro /system" "reboot"

these paths are for root w/zergs but they might be the same for Petes etc. This will clear all files and symlinks that were created when you rooted your device.

I know i have a really old phone and all but i still need help. My touch pro (Raphael)

is like showing blue and red on my screen every thing all normal but it show blue and red on the side of everything i watch or do and when i press down on the screen it acts like its going out. so my question is if i open it and see if i can push back in the plug that plugs in from the phone to the screen would that do anything? could that be a problem?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adammwhiles:
I wouldn't suggest it honestly because you are likely to mess something else up once you open the phone. While it could be that something has come loose it may not be the case though. It could be that some internal component is going bad since it sounds kinda like artifacts that you are getting. Since you are probably out of warranty you don't really have to worry about voiding anything but I suggest you have a backup.... maybe an upgrade or an old phone to goto. just my 2 cents.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bracketologist:
Agreed. It sounds like you may be out of warranty, so perhaps it's time to consider an upgrade.

Got my nootlet sideloading and rooted, rocking the GoLauncher, replaced b&n home screen, and i'm happy except for a couple things: google market only wants to crash, but more importantly I miss being able to drag books onto the home screen. I tried anycut but didn't see a way to add a shortcut to a file.

Am i not using it right or is this not (yet) doable?

via noot tablet &xda premium
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Download ES File Explorer from the market.

Navigate to any folder or file with it, and long press. Choose Shortcut. It will create a file or folder shortcut on the homescreen.

Since you're using GoLauncher, you can also longpress the shortcut, choose 'replace' and select any icon you want from installed themes or icon packs, or select 'custom icon' and create one (say, of a book cover) from a .jpg file.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Also, google market crashing is a permissions issue - it should be in system/apps, with all other programs set as rw-r--r-- and Vending.apk specifically showing rw-rw-rw- (you can check this with root explorer) - at least it is for me, and rw-r--r-- promptly crashes it. data/app should also have a com.android.vending.apk with permissions rw-r--r--. If not, reinstall, or factory reset + reroot (don't need to do the drivers part again). You *will* miss a functional android market. It's more useful than you think.
