Bootfix for 8.23 Nightly

Bootfix for 3.4.1

If you're flashing over another rom, please full wipe, meaning /system, /cache, and /DATA(yes...this sucks, but it IS necessary)...especially if it's something like MIUI or Paranoid Android you're flashing over. Those will cause borks all over the place due to their radically different frameworks and configuration files.

If it doesn't work, I need a full log-cat. The one in this thread a couple posts back helps some, but without having all of it, I'm guessing mostly. I really need the logcat of the point where the bootloop seems to "die" (aka be re-looping).

It seems that some people are reporting 3.3.2 bootlooping, others are saying it's great I really need to have someone test this out with a full wipe and report back. So, that means full wipe (use my FULL-WIPE-ZIP), then flash rom, then reboot...if it doesn't work, flash fix and reboot. If not working, please pull FULL logcat and PM it to me :) ​
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mattbta:
Flashed over an earlier build and applied 3.4.1 and the bootfix. It booted and seems to be running well so far. Previous two builds I couldn't get past the bootloop. Thanks for your work!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pinktank:
3.4.1, full fastboot wipe with Epinter's gapps flashed(*Is cache/dalvik wipe necessary after flashing gapps if you don't flash them at the time you flash the rom?)

Can someone doublecheck on these bugs to validate that they are not my phone or flash error or something.

*bootfix required to clear boot loop

*Clicking '4g settings' option under the settings menu crashes settings

*Chrome browser takes you to the apps drawer when you click tabs or make a new tab (from menu, or from long clicking a link)

*Trebuchet, when changing the grid size, pushes the sides of widgets off of the edge of the screen

*Settings>advanced>fingerprint sensor navigation crashes settings

*Flash player settings won't display anything, flash is not installed?

*Changing Image resolution in camera sometimes crashes camera with a corrupt (skewed/purple) image preview, require reloading of camera to apply at others.

*Various media issues: Gallery crashes at times, taking camera with it. Music might stop when you take a picture. Play Music doesn't show any of the music at times, even after reboot.

It was the photon BT fix. I'll reupload tonight
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pinktank:
Thanks, I'm keeping a log of bugs by updating my previous post. Let me know if you need logcats, be assured its a clean install and they have all been tested for repeatability, and tested after reboot. Nothing was restored from backup, and I don't have too many apps, and virtually no apps that run in background, definitely no power/cpu tweaking apps.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] breathtakingevil:
So for about the last 12 hours I have been trying to get this/older version to work. I'm not sure if anyone else had this problem, but when I went back to CWM instead of TWRP recovery, it worked fine. It may be just me... I seem to have bad luck sometimes.

Bootloop

I hope I did this correctly. This is my first time doing a logcat.

I flashed over AOKP Milestone 6 (ICS). I did a nandroid, wiped all caches, format system. I did not wipe data (this is my wife's phone, I know I should have wiped data but I didn't feel like re-adding everything for several hours). I flashed 3.4.1, flashed joker-jelly gapps, and flashed 3.4.1 bootfix. I rebooted the phone and it booted fine, optimizing 164 some applications. Once it finished, it then rebooted and went into bootloop.

I assume I will have to wipe data but since I can't even turn on the phone right now, how would I be able to back up apps, data, etc?

http://pastebin.com/wr553K6J

Hopefully that works, if it didn't, let me know.

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] berniesteven:
Pull battery, hold volume down & power up. Volume down till recovery, volume up. Choose back up. Or, clear cache. I would clear cache and reinstall.

MB860 Peace
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kosko20:
Same thing happens. Optimizes apps, reboots itself and then bootloop.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] berniesteven:
Try wiping system.

MB860 Peace
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kosko20:
Do you mean format /system?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LZmx:
No, wiping is different from format, use the FULL-wipe zip from Th3bill, you can find it in jokersax site
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kosko20:
But that loses all my data. I don't have a recent titanium backup. If this was my phone I wouldn't care but it is my wife's and she'll flip.

Can't boot

Tried both Stable and Nightlie version and can not get either to boot.

Wiped Data/Cache/System/Dalvik

Was looking forward to it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fischwrap:
those that cant boot, you probably need to flash the boot fix as Th3Bill hasnt uploaded the fixed .zip file yet.

also, pretty sure wipe=format... when you select "wipe cache" in recovery, the following operation text will say "formatting cache" etc...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pinktank:
Here is the link to the bootfix, you will get a bootloop if you dont flash this

Got it running, finally. The wife isn't happy about losing all her messages (I don't think its a big deal at all), but hopefully the ROM is stable for her and doesn't overheat like AOKP M6. I will post an update in a few days about how she likes it and how it is running.

So I went to flash this ROM today...

Alright guys... This sucks. I attempted to transition from epinter's CM10 to Th3Bill's CNA earlier tonight. I wiped dalvik, wiped cache, formatted system, and wiped all data / factory reset in romracer's CWM. After installing 3.4.1 from ext-SD I was greeted with the atrix softboot screen . I rebooted again while holding vol- to try and get to Android Recovery, but was met with the same thing. I chose Android Recovery from the menu, and this came up . After choosing the option again, I saw this... . Any advice?

Hy!

I know there are hundreds of thousands of topics about this, but I can't find the real answer...

Is there a free way to unlock the SIM card lock on X10 Mini Pro, and use it with another carrier? (Mine is locked to vodafone, but I want to give it to my T-Mobile friend.)

Thanks for any help and solutions!

And please don't blame me for opening a new topic, I'm searching for the solution about 3 hours.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
Omnius I think is the best way. You can't unlock your bootloader after using it though. Otherwise just ring up vodafone and ask them for the unlock code

X10man
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Jinx Lumos Joke:
But Omnius isn't free. Is there any free solution? Something like rooting...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
If you had the phone on contract, vodafone should give you the unlock-code for free after the initial contract-period, at least, that's how it usually works. It's the best way to sim-unlock your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryu234:
If I flash a rom and empty all data, then wouldn't the backups be erased too? Is there any way I could transfer the backup files from phone to pc?

Custom recoveries don't touch the "sdcard" when doing a factory reset.

In other words all you have to do is wipe all your data and flash a new ROM or whatever you want to do. Boot up and open the play store and download titanium backup and batch restore all your apps back.

Yes, but doing backups to external source is not a bad idea. Always.

Thanks man. Much appreciated. I think their so called reasons for hiding sound bullish. Confusing the end user? Really? If it confuses people that much, then dont go into the power saver menu...or get an iphone... :/ .......Right
[HTC Rezound] kzoodroid:
You can also use Minimalistic Text to create a widget that links to the power saving settings. Unfortunately the settings don't work as my wifi would never turn back on after waking the phone, I had to constantly restart my wifi everytime I picked up the phone. And the settings there are minimal, not like before where you had more choices. I had to reverse all the settings then uninstalled the app, it never helped save any battery at all.
[HTC Rezound] wallnut61:

Speaking of power saving, does anyone else notice that since ICS, the backlight does not return to normal brightness after exiting camera application? You have to turn the screen off via the top button then back on to return to normal brightness.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
I find the low power warning comes when the battery drops to 14%

Supposedly this is when the hidden power saving settings get implemented.

Yes, it would be nice to be able to change the 14% to be some other value, perhaps 30%

Yea, like all the other power savings apps available are set to by default? Lol

Bootloader(?) brick

I recently discovered another type of brick by accident and it appeared to be associated with the bootloader. To retrace my steps, I updated to the VRALHD baseband using CWM and immediately after that I restored a backup which caused me to lose the ability to flash ROMs. When loading up another ROM, I always got to the bootanimation, but the bootsound would cut off almost immediately and I would be stuck at a black screen. I was not able to flash ROMs and even unlocking the bootloader again after Odin-ing back to stock didn't work. I was stuck with the stock ROM. The method in the OP doesn't work for this, but the following steps do:

Prerequisites

Root66

PIT file (depending on your model (16gb/32gb)) - (PIT)

Odin

The steps are simple:

Flash Root66 in the PDA slot and the PIT file in the PIT slot

Only tick Auto-reboot, Re-Partition, F. Reset Time

Boot into recovery

Factory reset + wipe dalvik

Reboot

Number of devices tested on and confirmed working: 2​

Your device should boot up normally and you should be able to flash custom ROMs now. If you are still encountering issues, try the method in the OP then re-unlock your bootloader using either AdamOutler's CASUAL or EZ Unlock. Note, if you use EZ Unlock you may continue to get a message saying that the bootloader status is UNKNOWN even after unlocking the bootloader. This was the case for me, but I then did the PIT method as described in this post, factory reset the device, and used TWRP to flash my ROM.

Just an FYI, I now use TWRP so I'm not entirely sure whether there was something specifically wrong with CWM. The partition sizes just got severely messed up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chefdave12118:
So what's the ironic story on how you found the fix? Great write up BTW. Hope I never have to use it but keeping this in a safe place. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hero:
Had two S3s, tried to hard brick one to use as a brick test device (it was soft bricked with the error in the OP), but ended up fixing it instead :p

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
Excellent write up. For some soft-bricks, this might be overkill, but it will alteast get everyone back up and running no matter how severe their issue is. Thank you for the post! I am downloading the files now incase we have some hosting issues in the future. After Goo.im wiped everything a couple times I think it is important to be careful and prepared.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hero:
Added mirrors for the bootchains just in case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psycopanther:
lol. PROFIT!

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

also, if you have CWM or twrp recovery, and you boot into recovery (before trying any steps above), you can connect your phone with adb and while in recovery (cwm, or twrp) and go into adb shell, and type "mount" .this should show something like this :

mount

rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)

tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755)

devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600)

proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)

sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 on /data type ext4 (ro,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,user_xattr,barrier=1, data=ordered)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 on /cache type ext4 (rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,user_xattr,barrier=1, data=ordered)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 on /system type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered)

the /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 is set to RO if you notice. and this will cause constant boot hanging as the /system will try to constantly write to /data in which it will fail. These were our symptoms before trying steps in OP.

MAD PROPS to PureMotive for helping solve this issue. pure genius!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
Sorry that I didn't think of this before. The logcat you sent me did show the symptoms of a ro filesystem but it didn't click with me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psycopanther:
not a problem. if it were not for realizing this RO thing, i do not think we would have gotten it all figured out. thank google for allowing adb access so early in the booting process of the phone lol.

however, the next step would be WHY the system is changed to a read only. I did try to just change the RO of /data back to RW in adb unsuccessfully. If a way was figured out to do it through adb with a simple command, then it would be quicker to fix the partition ( possibly just making a recovery flashable script to do it automatically to fix softbricks, but the methods in the OP is the best route for right now. definitely a step in the right direction in making the whole custom flashing alot safer.

Agree, would be good to know the root cause -- eg. is it a bug having to do with some edge case in CWM recovery or a particular ROM that could fixed?
