Hell to the no! I've found the sweet spot with the new OC system and this thing is absolutely flying man. And I am yet to have any real issues. I'm not much on making nandroid backups because I like to start fresh out of habit, and that seems to be the main issue folks are having, so that doesn't affect me. I have to be Glitch powered.

Recovery Bootloop

Folks,

i'm in a fix. Milestone 4 is working great along with Glitch at 1.5. However, i was attempting to download a font changer from Market and upon rebooting, after choosing a font, I found myself in a boot animation boot loop. I'm at work and probably erred in useing three finger method to get to Recovery (after pulling the battery) so that I might reinstall the rom to clear the faulty font app. Anyhoo, I'm now in a recovery loop. At home i would ODIN and load stock, etc and start again, but is there a way to get into factory recovery to wipe the phone without having ODIN handy?
[Fascinate Android Development] Stephen.k.spear:
If you have cm7 ROM on you sdcard you can wipe flash reboot it will bring you back to CMW 4.0.... Then flash it again and it should boot. Then follow usual steps to get back on Ics

Time to get on the ROM bandwagon! 2.3.4 powerwashed GB has served me well for a long time.

Now I gotta get on the latest and greatest, which hopefully has unlocked/masked tethering! :D
[Fascinate Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Could you please switch back to the xl mode, and provide me the /boot.txt, after you have rebooted your phone.

I am using this way of applying the ram settings for a while now, and there have not been issues with it till now.

I'm curious the peeps having flashing issues. Which recovery were you using?

Sent from my Glitched AOKP Unicorn.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Just want to let everyone know that my rant last night does not mean I'm ditching Devil kernel or anything like that. It does mean, however, that I am going to proceed with a little more caution, which I think is good advice for everyone. That nagging little voice in the back of your mind that says "you should make a backup now, before you flash this.." Listen to it, ppl!

Today I'm going to try to find out if the restore issue I saw is simply due to an incompatibility between twrp 2.1.3 and 2.1.8 (I think those are right...). I was able to get back to an older glitched build with the older twrp and restored my most recent backup (still 2 weeks old :() without issues.

I'm hoping today I can get my phone back to where it was on the glitched build (with the new apps I had grabbed in the meantime, plus some other misc BS), make a backup of that, then flash B40 and immediately make a backup of that. If I can then restore my B40 backup successfully, I'll be happy.

A few other things I'd noticed on Devil / B39, which I think are also applicable in B40:

1. it looks like the first boot enables the datafix partition changing thing. This is part of the init.d screw-up issue, I'm sure. I half wonder if that's why my restore didn't fly last night. Anyway, it's probably not good to do that without warning.

2. I also noticed that my memory resident applications tended to get killed off a lot more. I was constantly having to re-sign-in to Trillian and Groove-IP, restart llama, stuff I never had to do under Glitch. Is there something new / more aggressive about the memory manager / task killer that I need to set or something? I find this sort of behavior to be a PITA when I expect to have an IM application on and signed in throughout the day...

Anyway. Moving on ...

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

I used TWRP.

Also, I just ruled out a bad download as the cause of my woes. The md5sums match.
[Fascinate Android Development] Stephen.k.spear:
Ive been using the devil CWM with no issues, try that one today. I dont think the datafix is enabled by default. I checked and my datadta looks like it has in the past... I may be wrong though. I've also had no issues restoring all may apps with Tibu between test 39 and test 40 and symlinks has not been checked. I'm start looking into these issues too we can get this cleaned up I think.
[Fascinate Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
sorry for your trouble last night.

what do you mean with "datafix partition changing thing"? are you talking about the datafix script, which is included with the kernel? if yes, the script does not work, unless you create a file called "datafix" at /data/local

to 2) no, i have not added/changend the low memory killer to be more aggrissive.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Ok, Yes, I was talking about the datafix script, and I realize now that was a false alarm. My apologies.

Regarding the memory killer, it's very possible that I've screwed something else up. If you guys haven't changed it, then no sweat. I'll decide if I care enough to investigate it myself, lol ;)

UPDATE:

Just flashed B40 with TWRP 2.1.3, a version built specifically for fascinate, and what we've been bundling into our glitch kernel-based builds for a while now. That seems to be working just fine.

At this point, this is sounding more like a post for the kernel thread, but I'll continue anyway.

There were some fassy-specific changes that needed to go into TWRP in order to get it to work. The only version I've ever been able to locate that had them was this 2.1.3 version, for which I happen to have a ramdisk image laying around. If nothing else, would you be interested in grabbing that to bundle with fassy builds of your kernel?

Anyway .. I'll report more in a bit. :)

We did decide to fork your stuff to our AOKPSGS organization on github and work from there. The url for that is github.com/AOKPSGS.

[Fascinate Android Development] Stephen.k.spear:
What?
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
pertaining to that CWM 4 and CWM 5 boot loop tweak in the other thread. I'm having great difficulty at the moment with recovery boot loop hell. I didn't realize the ROMs needed a particular CWM environment to work until now.

I guess Gummy unpacks under CWM 5/ CM9 and AOKP needs CWM 4/CM7? Is that right?
[Fascinate Android Development] neh4pres:
clockwork is packaged with the kernel on mtd roms. And with these roms you can not 3 finger into recovery or you will unleash hell on earth.. cwm 4 fixed is used to get on a mtd Rom as droidstyles guide on the fascinate general section will show you.

When you Odin "cwm 4 fixed" you can flash cm7 or (ths build 2 then ics Rom of choice).
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
excellent, thanks. I had skipped up to CWM 5.5 and gummy/MTD, and was going to go to AOKP which apparently needs to be on CWM 4/CM7. so that's down a level, and I did in fact three finger to try and get out of recovery hell, which apparently means even more recovery hell ! haha.

I will odin over the v4 stuff and start over. thanks very much for the info!! :good:

Aokp is ics. You do not need to change or even pay attention to cwm versions once on ics or even cm7.

I highly suggest referencing droidstyles guide on the general section before you give yourself any more headaches.

And from where your at I suggest a return to full stock with a repartition before trying aokp. The guide will help you do all this very quickly
