clean 4.1 installation issues

Same problem here.

Had clean rom 3.1 when i go into recovery mode and install zip. in the aroma installer - when i try wipe it hardly takes 1 sec and says installed.

Repeated the same procedure twice and now unable to log into recovery mode also to restore my prior back up. the phone is stuck on the boot screen with htc logo and "this build is for development purposes only......."

Any ideas? Please tell me i did not brick my phone.:confused:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MoscowMaxim:
used Aroma before with Nocturnal ROMs... it's pretty neat...

would be cool to have something like this to for advanced options after install...

Have you tried to wipe in Aroma? I was told it semi-bricks the phone
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RJEvans:
This worked. I tried to do both originally, but I just wiped from recovery and it installed fine. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eraste:
HTC pays developers upwards of 6 figures a year and they ( a team) couldn't produce anything along the lines of 4.1 with aroma. Nice Scott.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vamsimohan_6:
Ya i did try the wipe in aroma. then tried install without wipe. and now stuck on the htc boot screen as i mentioned. Anything i can do to salvage the phone.

crap why did i even try the 4.1. 3.1 was working great for me. I should i waited till i got all this input from you guys.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] evanrich:
Just flashed 4.1 over 4.0 SE. everything working great! 4710 Quadrant score on stock speed. Love it! no issues to report yet
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RJEvans:
BTW, Quadrant on 4.0 was about 4360 for me. On 4.1 its 4618. Still slightly lower than stock, but real world use it runs smoother.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pearlbrian:
Not that this is a surprise, because you have stated it can be troublesome several times, but TiB doesn't appear to play nice at all with this version of CR at all. Hangs on app restoration every time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theking_13:
I flashed the 1.7 GHz mod and ended up with 1.75 GHz. I think the Aroma installer has issues with the mods, but the actual rom installed great.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] techlogik:
Will do, but I always disable fastboot. Maybe a reboot really fix it then. So far so good.

Thx!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] loneBoat:
We DO "have something like this for advanced options after install"! Try flashing the zip in /sdcard/CleanROM after install! :good:

Weird. I used TiB to restore all my apps with no problem. (Are you restoring System Data as well? That's always risky.)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Genetic517:
trying to restore user apps/data correct?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pearlbrian:
Yeah, i don't jack with system data backup at all. It had a bunch of my apps "crossed out" in the TiB list. I re-downloaded the ones i cared about from the app store and then restored data to them. That seemed to work fine.

Hate to lose all my Angry Birds 3 star scores... I know, i'm a derp :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] techlogik:
Is the TWRP battery level it gives accurate compared to what the Rom reports/Battery percent?

Not sure what to believe. Battery percent in the status bar shows 92%

Boot to TWRP recovery, and it shows 96%.

Battery under the Power setting agrees with battery percent.

Just something I noticed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] meohman1:
Help Needed.

Scott (or anyone else),

I did a factory reset. I used TWRP to flash SE 4.1. I used the wipe in Aroma. I've done this twice. I even downloaded the zip file again for the second time.

My phone app and contacts app - both apps just open and close immediately. They will not work. I've synced the contacts to Google, which is what I always do.

I had the 2.09 radio after the first flash attempt, then flashe to 1.85 radio.

Any ideas? Am I missing a setting?

Mike

Additional info: I tried a third time to install with twrp and checked the boxes for signature and md5 - both failed and aborted the install.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pearlbrian:
I haven't quite figured out how to install mods after i finish installing 4.1. Not used to this Armoa stuff. Do i have to worm my way back into the installer somehow?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MoscowMaxim:
Try full wipe in recovery an reinstall the 4.1 fresh
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WTFunk:
Guys try one thing first. I don't believe it's a bug. Go into settings>menu>>search contacts by.

Check everything. It's set to phone number only by default. This should hopefully be the problem.

(this is in reference to those having problems with phone not searching by name)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WTFunk:
Go back into recovery. Look for cleanrom.zip that was installed after flashing the rom and install that. It will launch aroma again and take you through the mod setups
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] loneBoat:
My OC settings don't seem to be taking (according to CPU Master AND CPU Spy). After install it seems to still be maxing out at 1.5Ghz (lol @ how spoiled we are with technology, "Waa! My DUAL CORE mobile phone processor ONLY goes to 1.5 GHZ! FML!!" haha okay, sorry).

I did a full wipe. MODS installed were: GSM Patch, ES w/Percent, WiFi Hotspot, and 1.755 OC. I've done it twice now. Strange.

EDIT 1: Here's the log from Aroma. I'm not seeing ANY mention of the OC'ing.

EDIT 2: Interesting. I just did the Aroma installer a SECOND time this time choosing hthe 1.647GHz option. This time the log was IDENTICAL, EXCEPT for the following line which was completely absent from the 1.755 GHz log:

Overclocking to 1.647 GHz
Extract: /system/etc/init.d/99Tweaks

Is there an error somewhere where the Aroma Installer is not "seeing" the 1.755 option (even though it offers it)?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shackman716:
**sigh** no, your not the only one... I had issues from the FIRST try of a flash, and it's only gotten worse. I had 4.0 and tried to flash 4.1 with no success, it would never fully install. Eventually after multiple tries the phone got stuck on the splash screen, wouldnt let me into recovery or anything for the longest time. Eventually I got it into recovery, relocked the bootloader and flashed the 1.85RUU... this got my phone back to "working order" but pretty much anything I open closes just as fast. Im beyond frustrated but at least I'm not stuck on the splash screen so any help would be greatly appreciated please.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vamsimohan_6:
Any possibility to flash from the bootloader or do anything from the bootloader.

Am stuck on the htc boot screen(with the message "this build is for development purposes only....") after trying to install the clean rom 4.1 using the aroma installer from clean rom 3.1.

I am unable to go to the recovery mode from the bootloader. It gets stuck on the screen mentioned above.

Any help will be appreciated guys.

:crying:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yellowfddriver:
Don't flame me for asking BUT.

I have a Mac, is there an easy way to backup apps (NO DATA/SYSTEM DATA) without ADB? I have TiBu, but after trying to restore apps+data going to CR 4.0, it borked Google's Sync/Push procedure and I'm almost afraid to use it again because I wasn't getting notifications.

If I use TiBu to only backup Apps, that should be safe...right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pearlbrian:
Oddly enough, after installing the mods i wanted i rebooted the phone and found that my exchange server required unlock pin wasn't working anymore. Also a ringing bell sound effect kept playing. Not sure what that's about but i'm going to have to do another wipe to get the phone unlocked i guess.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theking_13:
If this was an S3 or something like that, yes this would be an issue.

With this phone, I just want to unlock the potential and have it there should I need it. Highly doubt I will though, S4 is top of the line right now. :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WTFunk:
From your bootloader connect the phone to your computer. Download rom to computer and push with ADB. Sorry cant get technical ATM at work. Someone please help him. Also there's a good thread in general by gunny with some adb commands. That will help you

Maybe just try connecting to pc and use adb reboot recovery command.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MoscowMaxim:
You know what I meant, like the international ROMs have, a set of custom features as a part of Settings menu with control of various UI functionality and add-ons... Flashing mods is fun though...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
I have the same issue as meohman1. I'm using TWRP and the 4.1 install completes successfully but I'm unable to launch the phone or contacts app. The apps open and immediately close again. Launching other apps aren't a problem. The gmail app opens and works properly.

I had 4.0 previously which worked wonderfully. I was using CWM recovery previously and switched over to TWRP so that the Aroma script would work. I'ver tried going back to 4.0 and the problem remains.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WTFunk:
Did you guys try clearing app data?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vamsimohan_6:
thank you will look into it. thanks a lot
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MoscowMaxim:
I'm gonna wait flashing 4.1 on top of 4... it works great and why fix it if it ain't broke
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pearlbrian:
Is there a way to "undo" the GSM mod without wiping everything? It seems like installing it has tanked my LTE signal.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] loneBoat:
Scott: The OC mod for 1.755 isn't working. I think the problem is on line 90 of updater-script for Aroma. In my download it says:

file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/oc.prop","selected.0") == "3"

I think it should say:

file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/oc.prop","selected.0") == "4"

You're currently repeating the "3" option from line 84. So currently this means it's actually impossible to install 1.701 - trying to do so installs 1.701 and then immediately overwrites it with 1.755!

IOW, trying to OC to 1.701 ACTUALLY overclocks to 1.755, and trying to OC to 1.755 currently has no effect. Hope this helps!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] meohman1:
Phone and Contacts Apps are broken with 4.1 and now even after going back to 4.0.

I cleared apps before flashing to 4.1.

I also went back to 4.0 with a factory reset and complete wipe and the phone and contacts apps are still broken with 4.0.

I sure hope Scott has some ideas.

Mike
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yellowfddriver:
Interestingly enough, I've never had any issues...ever with CWM, so I'm not going to fix what ain't broke here.

@meohman1/coolieHD2 : You both wiped in Aroma? Did you try to wipe using your recovery THEN flash the ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Dazedstate:
It seems like a ton of people are having issues with this version. Everything worked perfect for me. Did all mods except GSM. I used TiB for all user apps/data. My phone and contacts work fine. I am loving this release soooo much.

I don't know if it would make a difference but I wiped cache, dalvik, factory, AND system. The only glitchy thing I noticed is that I did the 1.7 OC in Aroma but it gave me the 1.75. Not really an issue though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WTFunk:
X2! Except I only did 1.6 OC. Phones not skipping a beat with or without overclocking.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Yes, I wiped using recovery. I'll try again and possibly go back to CWM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shark0807:
So far not so good. It would seem that regardless of choosing the Standard or LIte Editions, it installs the Lite Edition in the aroma installer. Furthermore, I'm not seeing the mod installer that is supposed to appear afterwards. I'm going to flash TWRP and see if that fixes it, as I have read that some people are having problems with CWM.

Edit: Definitely did the trick. And looks like it was pointed out by scott as well. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pearlbrian:
Yeah, the phone seems to be forgetting or somehow resetting my unlock pin every time i restart it. I think this is an issue with one of the mods because it wasn't doing this before i tried installing them. I installed default OC, V2 multitasking, GSM mod, and landscape rosie. Oh, and battery percent, the non-transparent one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] loneBoat:
It's a typo in the installer. Installing 1.7 ACTUALLY installs 1.755, and trying to install 1.755 actually does nothing. The other options seem to work fine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eraste:
Yes I have titanium pro, only back up your user apps located in data/app, no system data etc you should be fine.

I am an ATT user, I had zero issues using aroma

Prerequisite: in recovery wipe cache/dalvik, factory reset

first: used aroma to "wipe" again. Then install Rom.

Second after Rom installs navigate to cleanrom folder on sd card ( while still in recovery) click the clean mods 1.0.zip it opens an entirely different aroma installer for mods ( oc, status bars, etc)

Zero issues for me flashed over 4.0

2.09 radio 1.85 ruu base. Rom is phenomenal.

TO ANYONE HAVING MAJOR ISSUES

I was one of the unlucky people who had a "soft brick" style issue, I don't know what could have even gone wrong with the exception that I used CWM and not TWRP but who knows.

When the phone was stuck on the splash screen and wouldn't let me get into BL I freaked. After trying multiple (and I mean MULTIPLE) times I got it back into fastboot. Then I relocked the BL and ran the 1.85 RUU. Once that was done I thought I was in the clear but no I wasn't. The phone seemed normal but opening anything made it close just as fast so the phone was essentially useless.

I started the process back over, unlocking the BL again and installing recovery and root...FINALLY after about 2hrs of the phone being beyond goofy it reinstalled recovery and re-rooted and then installed 3.1 and the patch... all seems good now.

I dont know if what I did was right, wrong or whatever but it got my phone back to working status which was all I cared about at the moment. Just wanted to give a heads up to keep trying and it will go back. I wouldn't try 4.1 but rather a different rom just to get the phone working again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 00_MACKIE_00:
4.1 is running great.

Not sure why but my SD card got fully wiped. Oh well not a big issue but its the first time I got hit with this and have flashed many times.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] godfirst:
Brilliant, 4.1 is awesome. Did a clean install then flash mods everything works/clean as a whistle!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phatboypat:
Am I the only one who is not having a CleamRom folder installed on their SD card?

I had the one from 4.0, so I deleted and ran the installer again. Nothing. I've done it about four times now, with and without wipes. I even downloaded the rom again. Still no folder.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Dazedstate:
That's a scary thought to me. I've been hearing about this more and more in the One X forums. It has gotta be a manufacturing defect right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Minor723:
I downloaded 4.1 and I am using twrp. My download has passed the md5 checksum. I factory reset and cleared both cache. When I go to install the rom it just reload twrp and the rescreen reloads, it never makes it to aroma installer.

Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] techlogik:
Yes, I posted this earlier several pages back. I was using CWM. Wiped and tried to install and it just kept going back to the home screen. Then, everytime I went back into recovery and tried to select the file, more and more of my SDCard folders vanished.

I finally tried pushing TWRP, and CWM over and over. Wiping. Ended up doing a complete format of my SDCard, losing everything on it I had, like backups etc..

Lastly, I re-downloaded the Rom. Pushed TWRP again, copied the Rom over, and the install worked fine and now is running again.

Of course, I lost all my SDCard stuff, so apparently a backup of my important stuff to my computer is now required to CYA.

Not a fun few hours to say the least :(

Shackman, do you or anyone else have a link to a "do-over" thread/tutorial to go back to RUU and relock, then start again?

That is one handy link I would like to have bookmarked. I was kind of a deer in the headlights for awhile trying some simple stuff over and over to get out of the soft-brick mode. Blasted CWM!!!

Thx

OK. I fixed it. After I went back to 4.0 and the phone and contacts apps didn't work, I reloaded CWM (getting rid of TPRW). Magically, the apps were working.

Tried to flash 4.1 with CWM, but it hung. I reloaded TPRW and flashed 4.1, and everything is working fine now.

Bizarre!

Weird...I've never had an Aroma installer hanging issue OR sdcard wiping issue on CWM. Try repushing? Has anybody here flashed this ON CWM with no issue?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
So I switched back to CWM and that seemed to have solved the problem with my phone app and contacts app not loading properly. Aroma had some hiccups the first time around with the install locking up or appeared to lock up. Upon restarting it appeared everything was installed properly but since it never "completed" in Aroma I re-ran the install and the second time was much more successful.

I'm able to get to Exchange email which was my first issue; I can get to the phone app; I can get to the Contacts app. And I gave up taking my car for an oil change for this! I guess it's not too late to go get an oil change.

Aroma doesn't seem to be working for me at all. The installation log says it fails to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p33 at /system. Then says it has an I/O error.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jburkco:
For People Having Issues Installing

First things first, use TWRP over CWM. If you don't know how to do this, you shouldn't be flashing ROMs or tweaking settings. Read up on what TWRP is and how to install it, then learn what all of the settings do so you can better understand how to use your phone.

If you browse through the numerous threads for all the ROMs available for our phone, you'll notice a common theme. Everyone is having different issues. Everyone has a different method of backing things up and people are getting different results across the board across all ROMs. This is not the fault of the developers and they shouldn't have to support your issues that 95% of the time aren't their fault because you were too lazy to read up on how to do something.

When installing a ROM from a major version to the next (CleanROM 3.0 to CleanROM 4.0, etc.) and especially when the installation procedure has changed in a significant way (Flashing Zips to Aroma) you should wipe your device and SD card. Don't whine that it's a lot of work, because so is troubleshooting your issues that could have been prevented in the first place. Developers having to waste time fixing user errors keeps them from developing and staying motivated to bring us new features.

Some people might not know how to fully wipe their device (because google is hard, and nobody makes videos on YouTube or anything), so I'm going to detail it for you now:

Step 1. Back up your SD card data to your computer (Pictures, Videos, Music, etc).

Step 2. Goto Settings -- Storage -- Factory Data Reset, check Erase all data at the bottom and then tap Reset phone.

Step 3. After your phone reboots and puts you at the original sense setup, hold down the power button and then boot into recovery.

Step 4. From the main menu in TWRP select Wipe and then wipe the following: Factory Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache, System and then return to the main menu.

Step 5. Select Mount, then Mount USB Storage. On your computer, make a new folder (call it Roms or something) and then drag the downloaded ROM (CleanROM 4.1 SE etc.) into the folder. Then drag that folder to your SD card. After it's done transferring, eject the SD card from your computer (Windows users, right click and then eject. Mac users, click the eject arrow). Tap Unmount in TWRP on your phone.

Step 5. Go back to the main menu, tap Install and navigate to the folder you just copied to your SD card. Tap the file name and follow the Aroma installer steps. Read each section carefully. If your phone doesn't respond to touch in the installer, use the volume toggle and the power button to make your selections.

Step 6. Let your phone reboot, walk through the sense setup and then boot back into recovery. Tap Install, navigate to the newly created CleanROM folder and select the zip within. Follow the aroma installer steps to integrate the mods that are included with the ROM. When it's done, reboot and you should have a freshly installed stock version of CleanROM 4.1, what you mess up from here is your own fault.

Thanks! I was afraid someone wasn't going to come along and sound like an ass.

How about you share your opinion without talking down to people. Just because we can be jerks doesn't mean we need to.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
I think Ill just hold off on installing 4.1 until some of these issues get cleaned up. No dount its caused by the way people are doing their steps. Perhaps if more people who upgraded with no issues can list step by step what they did... and people who have issues list what they did, we can find something in common and perhaps give scrosler some help in troubleshooting this.
