Help with another random boot loop (Log attached)

@ Mohan

I have boot looped many times since updating to 6.11, all times I was forced to wipe data to fix. I have factory wiped date installed full 6.10 then done the pre-load partition fix zip each time before installing 6.11 update. I have been good for the last few days until this last random boot loop.

I have attached a link to a log I've pulled, from data/log while in recovery TWRP v2.5.0.0.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3naf1993s2f5l0h/log-4-22-13.zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] greenteg:
Mohan, I know this isn't related to the logcat issues, but is there any way you could possibly port the Embryo 5 keyboard to this ROM? Is it as simple as copying a few files /system?

If anyone has a link to a similar tutorial, that would be greatly appreciated. There are plenty of threads regarding the stock samsung to CM, but I wasn't sure if these ROMs being TW based as well would be the same.

Thanks,

This may help people with bootlooping. I flash a lot and noticed with jelly bean I get bootloops very often (I get bootloops with every JB rom, from this one to factory ones all flashed with CWM). An easy way to test if you will bootloop, at least for me, is to do a hard shut down by just pulling the battery re-inserting and power on. For me it would bootloop 100% of the time. I tried wiping everything (cwm) and it may boot back up but it will bootloop again if I hard shut down. I fixed this by:

1. Reflash with Odin (I flashed the rogers stock tar)

2. First boot will bootloop and to fix this you must get into the oem recovery and wipe data and clear cache

3. Then it should boot normally

4. Install CWM and flash away.

I think Mohan is correct with something weird on how the recoveries handle the preload. I am not sure what the differences is between the oem recovery vs. cwm, as only wiping with the oem recovery solved my problems.

Restore in CWM from your backup, or factory wipe and flash from clean slate...

Maybe it is just me, but unless the phone loads the ROM and ID's itself, windows can't load the driver and ADB is not going to give you anything. I saw nothing in eclipse when the phone was stuck at the logo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
You guys complain about boot loops, why not post logs here so it can be reviewed and fixed for the next release (if it needs to be) I have read a lot of people have success without boot loops, generally all the people using 6.11 don't post because they have not run into these issues.

Check MD5/CRC make sure all is well. Use proper recovery etc.

Some of the ROMs are pretty good but there's always something.

stuck on samsung logo screen

I'm on the 6.11 update..installed fresh from 6.10...well today my Google voice app froze so I pressed and hold the power button (hard reboot). It got passed the first samsung but stuck on the second samsung logo screen. I tried pulling the battery, restart it over and over but still stuck on that screen. I manually boot it to cwm recovery, tried rebooting from there still no luck. I never made a restore. hate to start all over again..i just check the mD5 sum of both 6.10 full from and 6.11 update files i have and they're both good.

Can anybody verify if this problem is my problem alone?

Please hold the power button for 10 second until it reboots itself
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rkub:
Try clearing dalvik cache or cache partition and then reboot, might help... Most likely gonna have to reflash everything. This is why mohan tells you to make a backup before doing anything...

In no way asking for an ETA, but when mohan said he was going to "cut" embryo 7, he meant he would release it before moving on correct? Or is he cutting the project out? Just wondering if I should keep up hope
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] espina936:
IDK anybody else. But I had the same problem. I must have flashed and reflashed about 15-27 times. After a while my phone would not boot and would get stuck on samsung logo. My only solution was to stay on 6.10 and flash Mohan's recovery fix in post #4 i believe. I have been running that setup for more than a week. There are no significant changes in 6.11 that would make me want to flash it. I could not seem to get stable on 6.11. That's after formatting everything and applying partition fix. It seemed to work fine and then WHAM boot loop for you.

I am proud to announce that I've been noot loop free and running Embryo strong for a while. Great battery life and incredible performance. I also do a backup every three days in case i go crazy. Good luck and godspeed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack45:
My interpretation is that Embryo 7 will be the last of his S2 series, likely tying a ribbon around his generous efforts to supply us with a stable, customizable, DD ROM.

Thank you, Mohan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Yup..Embryo 7 will be based of the official UCMC1 release (for ATT). I am waiting for the 32GB model of GS4. But then I might but the T-Mobile version since it has a unlocked BL, damn you ATT..

Isn't the octa core version available in the USA? I might go for the octa core version or might wait for the note 3..still didn't get why at&t screwed the bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] netomel:
Octacore not coming to USA might it s well take the quadcore. At&t wants customers to brick their phones more warranties void, making people get new phones and avoid the free tethering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Exactly the opposite at&t wants people to stop pawning their broken devices off on them. It's used to discourage rooting and tinkering in order to save them money. How many in this forum have said to just call at&t and say it bricked during an update. It's about control over their network resources those who aren't paying for tethering possibly making it worse for the rest. You're looking at this from a shortsighted user perspective. I may not agree with at&t's methods but I certainly see the logic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack45:
Fully understood. And from a user's perspective (as you can imagine), it's all about control over my device. S4: Locked bootloader? Not interested. ONE: No user-replacable battery? Not interested. No external SD card? Not interested.

Another way to interpret the link...if I worked for Big Red I could (would?) lock things down even tighter

now

without bothering to wait, considering what Dan has done with "relative ease" - read: short period of time.

Or, not.

In fact, any carrier could periodically futz with the bootloader to make things difficult if they wished to do so. Another comment for another thread.

Sorry, lurkers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] notfuzzi:
That's like Comcast or Dell telling me I can't have the Administrator password to my computer though because I may use their devices or services in a way that could negatively impact what they provide. You "brick" your dell, then you call support and they help you fix it. Or you fix it on your own. I can flash a bios and brick my computer. Then what happens? They fix it because they sold me a device. Not limited use of a device. Why is it ok for computers but not phones. We are basically leasing the use of these things.

Preload questions. I'm going from a 4.2.2 down to this ROM, too many bugs in 4.2.2.

Was wondering about the pre-load. Yes, I know I've read all the threads, understand what it is, but not sure if it's needed, or if it's recommended only if you have trouble. Basically what I'm asking is this.

Going to wipe system, cache, data, dalvik, factory reset, then install the following:

1. ATT-SGH-I727-EMBRYO-6.10-FULL

2. EMBRYO-6.11-update

But should I first flash the preload-nandroid-restore-EMBRYO-6.x-cwm before the other two, or only after?

Thanks a lot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
I had that problem for a while back when Embryo JB was first released, but before I had flashed it. Turned out to be a build up of cache somewhere that didn't show up in the storage graphs you screencapped and also wouldn't delete with a cache wipe. After googling, I found it to be a common problem. Needed to use some space sniffing app from the market; can't remember the name. Only way I could fix it was to format my internal.

Edit: Actually, thinking back, it was appdata somewhere in /data/data/.., and because of that, after I flashed Embryo and tried to restore only my data, it came along with it. Hence the need to undo that and format my internal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
I read about that, where some old odex files can be handing around, but this is coming off a completely fresh install. As part of my install I wiped both the internal and external storage. Maybe TWRP missed something on the format, but seems pretty unlikely. Guess I could always try another complete format and reinstall. :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
Yea maybe something like that happened. Anyway, the app I used was called DiskUsage:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage

It clearly showed that I had kilobytes of space left somewhere in /data/data/.. (I think), when Settings > Storage said I had only USED kilobytes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
nice app, I like it. Reminds me a lot like WinDirStat. It didn't show me much of anything though. Matched my free space from the storage settings area. So I tried another full wipe and install, and it's working now. All I can guess is somehow TWRP screwed up the initial format...

Thanks for the help (and actually reading my post ;) )

Battery Charging issues

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Some updates

Some updates:

- I will try to get EMBRYO-7 out, sorry been busy lately.

On another note:

So my RD application was promptly rejected by the XDA developer committee :(. And yes, I got the typical boilerplate response and some non GPL compliance stuff. And, I will accept that (non GPL), I just did not know that we need to put it up in a week, but it was not intentional and I have *always* provided anyone who pm'ed me (a lot of them) with all the info and material. I did not know about xda rules on top of the GPL, now I know.

Anyway, my intention was to get the hosting service from dev-host, that allows me to upload files > 500mb, which is free for RD. As many users know I have always provided my work donation free and yes I have paid from my own pocket the past year (it was due last month, hence my application).

Although, part of me wants to fight as a matter of principle to improve the RD process, since obviously it has serious holes, as any dev would understand the breadth and scope of changes to the OEM roms. But, probably better off doing something else.

Long story short, I will get Embryo 7 up and running (I will pay for it, obviously). As I am waiting to move to new phone (need to wait a month). Although the level of expertise among the users in this forum will be hard to beat :)
