[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GATechAE07:
Hey everyone,

My Droid Incredible running CM7.1 began randomly rebooting the other day. Everything was working fine, then it shut down and is now stuck in a continuous boot cycle.

What I can do:

I can boot into hboot and flash PB31IMG.zip's, but nothing else. I cannot run a factory reset or boot into recovery from hboot, both options just induce the boot cycle.

What I have tried:

I reflashed the RUU Gingerbread ROM from hboot.

Reflashed CWM from hboot.

Afterwards, there is no change; the phone never makes it past the white HTC Incredible screen, rather it just reboots.

I have also ttempted to use fastboot to erase both the boot and recovery partitions and reflash recovery.img, but neither command was successful and both produce the same error:

./fastboot-mac devices
HT07THJ06738	fastboot
./fastboot-mac erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Any help would be appreciated. At this point I'm beginning to think it's a hardware error, and I'm just going to have to replace the phone.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
You could try flashing the engineering hboot 0.77, do the fastboot erase and reflash, and then see if you can access recovery. The eng hboot will allow you to use the fastboot commands without getting the remote not allowed error. Not sure that will fix your issue but its worth a shot. You will have to flash back to hboot 0.92 to be able to restore a backup. You can get the hboots here http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GATechAE07:
Thanks for the suggestion. I flashed the engineering hboot 0.77, then wiped the phone completely:

./fastboot-mac devices
HT07THJ06738	fastboot
$ ./fastboot-mac erase boot
erasing 'boot'... OKAY
$ ./fastboot-mac erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'... OKAY
$ ./fastboot-mac -w
erasing 'userdata'... OKAY
erasing 'cache'... OKAY

I then booted to hboot 0.77 and flashed the RUU PB31IMG.zip. BUT! No dice...

After rebooting, the phone just reenters the same cycle. At this point, I'm assuming there has to be a hardware fault, specifically bad memory. Any other suggestions are welcome.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Not sure man. If the wipes and ruu completed sucessfully then your partitions are fine, so like you said it may be hardware related. Have you tried flashing the froyo ruu, the one originaly on the phone when it was brand new? Mabey that would help. Or you could go the opposite direction and htcdev upgrade and unlock your hboot and see if that helps. Just throwin stuff out there, it sounds like you got nothing to lose.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bukithd:
1. I am posting to this thread to help out a fellow Yellow Jacket, ME '11...

2. I agree with cmlusco, doing the froyo ruu correctly should fix issues. I can't seem to think of anything other than your boot partition, or whatever its called, as either failed or needs formatting.

My experience with bootloops has usually been fixed by just installing a stable rom version.

Had you recently switched to cm7.1 or had you been using it as a daily driver? I've heard of some issues with people using ICS then switching roms back to GB.

Hey, I was wondering if there was a mod, or an app to heighten the volume of my music. It's just too damn low for me.

You can use that, I did for a little while but its very glitchy.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
The music is TOO DAMN LOW!

Hehe, you could try Volume +
[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
If you root and flash most ROM for the x2 come with DSP Manager which increases volume and had some great customizable settings. DSP MANAGER is built into the ROM's

This ISN'T my Transformer Prime
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
I use Volume+ It works pretty good on CM7DX2. You will have to uninstall DSPManager for Volume+ to work properly, though.

Free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5GUkVFLmFuZHJvaWQubHZoIl0.

But I recommend the full version, it's only $1.99: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5URVNULmFuZHJvaWQubHZoIl0.

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] Eighthourblink:
Try the App Equalizer

I was having troubles with the volume at work. I downloaded the app "Equalizer" and it seem to help in my case. Basically an equalizer with different presets and/or you could make your own.

hope it helps in your case

[HTC Sensation] jblz:
Ok, so I've literally just bought the HTC Sensation. It was on 2.3.4 stock and I wanted to update to ICS. Unfortunately the ICS OTA update wasn't coming up for me so I decided to try do it myself

What I've done is S-OFF using the revolutionary tool (nothing else), then downloaded this stock ICS ROM, which supposedly is installed differently from other roms. Followed the instructions, and when it finished it gave me a 'ModelID' problem. I tried booting up anyway and now when my phone gets to the 'HTC, quietly brilliant' screen it plays half the splash audio and reboots, this is all it does continuously.

As instructed by that thread for people who got the ModelID problem I changed the ModelID variable in notepad, rezipped and tried the process again. Now it just loads up the FW, gets to 'parsing file' and goes straight back to the main bootloader screen.

Can anyone help me out? I really hope I'm now not left with an expensive paperweight

If it helps Bootloader now says

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Have a good read of THIS THREAD

It should help you out.

:)
[HTC Sensation] jblz:
Thanks. What I gather from that thread is basically I need to flash back to stock.

I'm sorry for being a noob here but as I don't have Clockwork recovery etc is this going to be OK to do?

Do I need to superCID to flash back to stock? Do I need to root? I'm also not 100% sure on what ROM to download. I was a fool and didn't check versions before I flashed. It was 2.3.4 on 02 UK.

Most guides seem to explain how to flash custom ROM's but I'm not sure how much of that applies to me.

Again, apologies for the basic questions. I just want to ensure I don't want to mangle it anymore than it has and most answers I've found assumes other things have been done other than just S-OFF

Right now I'm trying to install clockwork mod, I've downloaded it, renamed it to PG58IMG, put it in my SD but HBOOT doesn't find anything to install/update.. Can I just superCID and then run the RUU_xxxx.exe to get back to stock?
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Find my post in general will help you out I will bump it for you
[HTC Sensation] jblz:
Phew! Managed to get back to stock! Used the .exe for 02 UK.

However, now I'm installing ICS. I got into the boot loop again as I assume this is due to not updating the FW. I updated the FW to the one suggested and I'm downloading a different ICS stock ROM to install now.

If this does fail, or I need to get back to 2.3.4, what firmware would I download to back to original?
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
If you flash the.correct fw u shouldnt have any issues. U need to be supercid as well

«Virtuous Inquisition 4.0 ICS»

However you will experience issues with 3.12 fw on ics roms. Almost all ics roms now require the 3.32 FW

[HTC Sensation] jblz:
Thanks all, now running ICS stock, fully rooted, superCID and S-OFF.

I tried to 'Thank' a couple of you but I don't think my post count is high enough.

So I'm still not 100% sure, what FW would I flash it back to if I needed to send it back on my insurance/warranty? Anyone know what the 'stock' would have been for an 02 UK HTC Sensation? (not beats). I'm such a fool for not checking these things beforehand.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

To get back to stock,you can flash hboot 1.17 HERE

I have also got THIS RUU for O2 UK.

:)
[HTC Sensation] geemix:
I simply went to this thread (after reading so many others) and this was by far the easiest way to get ICS in my opinion.

[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
If you flashed the stock o2 UK RUU then you can't use the unbranded ICS OTA to get ICS. You have to wait on o2 to push the update for their FW version

just reflashed my epic 4g to stock, rooted it then installed lasted CWM on phone and every time i try to flash a new rom it always reboots itself without complete, usually does it within the first 5% of installing a new rom. Never used to have this problem -.-
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
What rom are you flashing... if your flashing an mtd rom this is typical and will finish installing.. did you even wait to see what happend next?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiat8489:
yes ive tried waiting to see if it will correct itself but nothing happens, it either continues to reboot or it will just power off, CM9 and 7 + some ASC roms
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
It should reboot once on cm9 then go back into recovery.. what exactly does it do... go into recovery show a broken android and reboot again and continue?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiat8489:
it will read the zip, started the install and once it says "checking md5sum(ithink)" it reboots with the CM9 logo, then starts up with SAMSUNG logo (white letters black screen) and just keep doing that, cm9 > samsung > cm8 > samsung untill i finally turn off the device

reodin, and make sure repartition is check marked. then try your process again. just make sure your not flash from an mtd rom to bml without odin and repartitioning.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john_hc09:
Hi all, I have a non-rooted, stock Galaxy Nexus. I noticed that "Unlock 'em Angry Birds" is able to access /data/data to modify the saved files and unlock the levels. "File Expert" seems to be able to copy APK files from /data/app. How is it possible? Those two directories aren't visible with Astro or via adb. I thought they were protected and apps couldn't read them in general. The fact that "File Expert" can copy APK files is especially surprising.

Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jwl12345:
This is a copy/paste from my thread in the general Q&A section.

So about half a year ago AT&T waved their magic wand and detected my tethering on my Infuse 4G on stock Froyo with tethermanager.apk frozen. These days I'm on Miui (2.3.7 AOSP based) and I came up with a theory - use Orbot (Tor for Android) and its mode that routes tethering through the Tor network, onion routing it securely. Would AT&T be able to detect it?

I was using it quite a bit yesterday, and haven't gotten anything yet. I was tethering an OG Asus Transformer running ICS.

Anybody have ideas? Does Orbot protect you from deep packet sniffing?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jesi.james:
Orbot is the same as tor tho, so that means it can't anonymize ur data. Only ur access points and IP address. Deep packet sniffing can be prevented by using https sites instead of just HTTP since it encrypts your data. From what I've thought, Att detects tethering from the user agent of your browser.

Froggys Go Ribbet :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jwl12345:
Can they detect user agent (I hear they do deep packet sniffing too) if you're tunneling through a VPN or using tor?

Also Tor encrypts everything multiple times.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] madman_sle:
I tether my tablet through the built in tethering in CM7 on the Infuse, been doing so for 6 months or so when I need info on the go. Never been bothered by AT&T, am I just lucky? Or is it harder to detect because of CM7?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jesi.james:
I don't think its detectable on aosp roms like miui or cm7 because of the different user agent

Froggys go ribbet :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] zelendel:
It is detectable on AOSP rooms like CM7. They are able to look at the way data is transfered. It is only a matter of time until they get it perfected. Until then some will be able to get by without them noticing as long as you don't use a lot of data to attract attention.

Oh and on a side not MIUI is not AOSP. As AOSP stand for Android Open Source Project and MIUI is not open source. It is a closed version of CM coding.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rich_jen4ever:
As a side note here: I wasn't using alot of data and I received emails and txt saying I had to stop tethering. I was only using my Xbox for online gaming, which each game was only a couple megabytes.

Are you surprised they caught you? Really?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jesi.james:
I learn something new everyday. Thanks.

Froggys go ribbet :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
next time they tell you that they know you are tethering, ask them how. snooping your internet data for user agents is a privacy issue, and can be argued that you put your phones browser to desktop mode. using alot of data doesnt mean you are tethering too. and try to limit use of strange ports too, thats a dead give away.

[HTC Rezound] Kbarnes57:
Hey guys,

I installed Rezrom v3.2 on my Rezound yesterday, and it was stable for the most part until this morning. My phone died last night and even though it has been on the charger all day I can't get it to boot into bootloader. When I try to power it on the phone boots then dies immediately. After that I have to let it sit on the charger for another 10 minutes or so before I can try anything again.

I've tried a battery pull (like 40 times)

Like I said can't boot into bootloader, and as such can't get into recovery.

When I connect it to my computer the computer makes sounds as if hardware has been connected, but it doesn't show up in "My Computer"

Please help
[HTC Rezound] sknight13602:
Sounds like a bad battery I would see if you can find a friend with a rez and see if their battery works? Have you tryed booting without the battery in not sure if that works on this phone worked on my evo but that sounds like a battery problem to me
[HTC Rezound] hardfallen87:
I cant recall exactly, but somewhere on these forums there is a thread or two about this. And they also have exact steps on how to fix it, ive never heard of it with rezrom, but im sure it would be the same solution. I wish i could help more but ill see if i can locate where i found the thread.
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
It's because of clockwork, it doesn't allow the phone to charge in this state

Your only hope is another battery to get it powered to flash amon ra or a battery charger. I've used my thunderbolt to fix this problem
[HTC Rezound] sknight13602:
The recovery won't let it charge but it should still provide power to the phone when pluged into the wall or usb. I have amon ra and I had 2% battery level pluged it in booted to recovery flashed a kernel did the hboot flash rebooted and still had 2% then it started charging so I know the phone recives power in recovery. Besides it will deffinetly charge when it is powered off which he said he tried and still couldnt boot I say bad battery but you could be right mabey it is your recovery
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashzoomerintrack:
Guys my phone came with XWKL1 and I rooted it with chain fire kernel. I am now currently on official MIUI V4 2.3.16 (flashed via CWM over XWKL1) . There seems to be a bit of FC and sometimes phone is unresponsive. Now I would like to know how can I make transition to another 1. ICS ROM

2. GB rom (like checkrom)?

Also I have downloaded XXLPQ Indian version. How different is it from multi csc version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianian28:
I've seen this problem mentioned before, but no good fixes.

My phone won't charge while on, but will when off. Charging has always been a little buggy, but now seems stuck this way.

The problem seems to keep my phone from connecting to the computer - neither the mac android download program will recognize the phone, nor will it charge off the computer, nor will the wugfresh tool see it when plugged into my PC.

I rooted/unlocked using the wugfresh tool (kept the stock ROM) and figure I need to warranty replace the phone - but because the computer won't recognize it, I don't know how to un-root/re-lock it.

Question - 1. anybody know how to fix my usb charging/recognition problem? 2. assuming not, is there a way to un-root/re-lock the phone without needing to plug the phone into a computer?

Thanks very much!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weirddan455:
Does it charge with the phone on from AC? And when it's plugged up to your mac, does it have the thing in the notification bar saying its connected?

It's possible you have a bad cable, just to eliminate the easy fix first. It should charge fine with any mini USB charger.

If you can get it to charge from AC, I'd try a different computer if possible or if not maybe a re-install of the drivers.

Next, as maybe a last ditch effort, it's possible the ROM got corrupted, though I'm not sure how likely that would be. I'm sure you can get the stock ROM to flash in Clockworkmod but the only way to re-lock the bootloader that I know of requires a PC.

Maybe someone else can chime in weather or not Samsung actually cares if you're unlocked when it comes to a warranty for a hardware problem. Also, what carrier do you have? They may just give you a new phone themselves and again, maybe someone can tell you if they actually look at whether you've modded your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianian28:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes, when it's hooked up to an AC adapter and the phone is ON, I get no charging. When the phone is on and hooked up to a computer (both PC and mac), I get no charging. No upper right hand corner battery indicator change.

In fact, when the phone is off and hooked up to AC power, it seems to be hit-and-miss as to whether or not it actually charges.

Plugged into a computer, I get nothing - it doesn't register a device is attached at all.

I think that's a great question - if you return an un-locked phone, do they definitely get mad at you? I wonder if that's been asked in the forums before...maybe I'll make a different thread?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianian28:
Also, from clockworkmod, how can I flash the original rom, as you suggested?

I've already factory re-set the phone and even flashed a different ROM just to see what would happen - and it didn't fix the charging issue.

I literally had this exact issue over the weekend where it would charge when powered off but then the USB would completely die when the phone was turned on. All after using my incar charger. It seems the port inside the phone got bent so that the board inside was almost touching the bottom of the phone. If held flat on your palm...

I fixed it by bending the board back up with a knife so its dead in the middle of the port. No problems charging now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gospeed.racer:
this exact problem has been an issue for me as well, contacted Samsung and told them i bought it second hand and they issued a rma and sent me a ups label t send it in. This is my first phone that broke before I even had a chance to root it. I was pissed at Htc so decided to try something new. Going back to my T-Bolt for a while now.

My phone charges sometimes, others it doesnt. Sometimes the "Nintendo blow" works, other times it requires force. Eventually I can always get it to charge, but it can take a half hour of playing with it. I have multiple cables, original Samsung batteries, and lots of experience inside phones, and have never had an issue that I couldnt FULLY determine was hardware or software. Samsung claims they have never seen this issue. lol. Obviously they dont visit the forums
