[HTC EVO 3D] lecosmique:
I've found myself in a bootloop, and would like some informed help before I potentially dig my hole deeper. I'm pretty n00b, knowing just enough to get by.

Phone History:

I was originally OTA 1.50, and when the ability to flash back to 1.40 came out, I made that modification, giving me S-OFF, clockwork, etc. I was still locked and never unlocked. I think I ran MEAN ROM for some time then. About 6 months ago, I flashed MIUI ROM which ran fine.

I recently flashed to the latest MIUI (3.1.19, 3.2.1, 3.2.8) but they all seemed to have issues with powering off sometimes, weird Wifi issues. I knew something was not right. Figuring maybe the ROM just was not right for my build, I tried CyanogenMOD 10, and had similar issues. It seemed to flash fine (via clockwork) and would boot, but had weird issues (wifi, messaging, some display weirdness)

I did some reading and convinced myself maybe I needed new firmware on the phone to be able to run these ROMs successfully.

I followed the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1808150

to get new firmware (and Superwipe) and then reflashed to CyanogenMOD 10. This had me in a bootloop. I also tried reinstalling MIUI 3.2.8 and get a bootloop with it as well.

Currently I am:

*** LOCKED ***

SHOOTER XC SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-158.0000

RADIO-1.09.00.0706

OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0217

eMMC-boot

May 17 2012,15:06:44

What is the best way to get out of this bootloop? I am hoping it's a relatively easy fix, being S-OFF, but will do what is needed.

Thanks! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] lecosmique:
Also...

I should add, that when I attempt to do a "wipe data/factory reset" in clockwork, it gets the following error:

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2"

Everything else wipes fine.

Also, I am in fastboot, :-/
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
You're saying your a noob. so the safe way to go is download the RUU Here. Go through the update process and then you can flash a custom recovery. ditch clockwork and go with 4EXT Recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] lecosmique:
Thanks for the intel Astrikz. I'm looking into that now. Your post makes me wonder... is there a not so noob route? Does being S-Off help me in this?

Thanks again, researching your links.
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Sure does help. Plus it will save you some time.

Heres a quick guide by ramjet73 that will help you . [Guide] Quick And Dirty RUU Flashing for CDMA S-OFF Users
[HTC EVO 3D] lecosmique:
Spot on Astrikz. Ramjet73's post was quite helpful.

After running through all the steps, I was able to get booted into a stock 2.89 ROM, update 4ext, busybox, etc.

I then tried to flash back onto CM10, first creating a backup in 4ext of my functioning stock ROM. I was on HBOOT JBear 1.58.58.58 at the time, but realized that CM10 did not function with that HBOOT. Attempting to boot into it caused the previously seen loop... boots, spins the CM10 logo for a few seconds, and then reboot. I downgraded the flash to JBear 1.50.50.50 to see if that would fix the issue.After the HBOOT downgrade, I wiped everything (but SD) and reinstalled CM10. Booting still yielded the same bootloop issue I had previously. I also tried booting into MIUI 3.2.8, and got the same issue. They start to boot, Show a bit of their splash screen, and then lock and reload. I was able to boot meanROM2.17.651.5, although it seems a bunch of things in it were broken.

So... I'm still battling, but making some progress. Any ideas on what might be the cause of the bootloops? II even tried booting with no SD card in, just in case something on my card was causing the issue. But, I got the same bootloop when booting with no SD card.
[HTC EVO 3D] lecosmique:
Tried out Venom 1.6.3 and was able to get that one to work. Still not sure why I had the bootloop issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] mvha:
bootloops

My problem is similar.

I've got

S-On Hboot 1.53

Previously got

4ext recovery

CoolICS Rom

.. and when I going to recovery my bootloops started:(

Normal boot or trying to recovery boot giving the same results.

I can: go to fastboot, changing cid, lock/unlock bootloader, flash boot/recovery/system from fastboot.

Even flashung RUU it's complete but when phone restarts, still got bootloops :(

My EVO is GSM and it need help.

I can buy a beer if someone can help :(:(

Got some progress:

After flashing Ruu, i've flashed a boot.img form CM-9-20130210-NIGHTLY-shooteru.

Got HTC screen(first screen), and starting second screen(HTC quietly brilliant).

But got bootloops at half of drawing this animation.

Is the unbricking method got sense? Maybe I'll try this way
[Android Apps and Games] FlightGear:
Sweep Texting allows users to receive, view, and send text messages, all without touching their phones. It uses the proximity sensor to implement intuitive gestures: you can sweep down your screen as though you're giving permission for the app to "come" to you and display itself. An alert dialog will then pop up with the text message and you can reply to it within the dialog itself (you don't have to switch out of the app you're currently using). Then, when you want to send the message, you simply sweep up as though you're commanding the text message to "go away" and send itself.

Since the app is completely touch-free (with the exception of typing in your actual message), it is extremely useful in hands-free situations where looking at the screen and switching through multiple screens to access messages may be a hazard (driving, for instance). The app also gives users a nice futuristic feel to their text messaging experience and allows them to customize it with multiple color schemes.

FULL LIST OF FEATURES:

--Sweep down to view a text message after it arrives.

--Sweep up to send your reply back to whoever you're texting.

--Tap on your message to go directly to your Inbox.

--Supports multiple messages from different senders.

--Supports messages longer than one text message.

--Hide a message and then sweep down to view it again at a later time.

--Choose between Holo styled (ICS only) or five different dialog colors.

--Choose between five different text balloon colors.

--Toggle to disable in Landscape mode.

--Toggle to enable/disable "Message Sent" sound.

--Enable/Disable toggle so you can turn off the app's features when you don't need it.

[Android Apps and Games] SammiSaysHello:
:( Sony Ericsson Arc S isn't a supported device. Do you know why? It's got a proximity sensor and all :p
[Android Apps and Games] FlightGear:
Unfortunately, the app is only available in the United States for now (due to export tax law issues). I'll be rolling the app out to other countries soon, though!
[Android Apps and Games] deathblade:
Really like this app though sadly it doesn't work with 3rd party messaging apps specifically sliding messaging (what I'm using) only seems to work with stock :-\

also can't reopen text a after dismissing..
[Android Apps and Games] FlightGear:
Yeah, I could only find Intents that work with the stock messaging app when a text comes in. I'm actually working on porting it over with Google Voice and other 3rd party messaging apps are on my to-do list. I'll let you know when the updates become available.

And "Dismiss" is supposed to mark a message as read (so you won't be able to access it). If you want to be able to access a message after you view it, you should use the "Hide" button (that's what it's for). Glad you like the app though! :)
[Android Apps and Games] deathblade:
thank you for your speedy response I don't see a hide button when I use it only a dismiss I'm using an infuse 4g phone running beanstalk custom rom 4. 2. 1 jelly bean(which is cm based) stock dpi (240 I believe) not sure if any of that is helpful at all but I hope you can figure it out cuz this app is very nice
[Android Apps and Games] FlightGear:
Are you using one of the custom color schemes? I don't think they have support for the "Hide" button (I couldn't get the dialog to accept more than one button for some weird reason... prolly an SDK bug). Try using the Holo theme. You can see from my screenshots that there actually is a "Hide" button for the Holo theme. Hope this helps!

Also, if you like the app, please consider sharing it with your friends/leaving a rating and review on Google Play. That'll help support future development of this app. Thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] deathblade:
I'm using the color schemes included in the app

EDIT just switched to holo theme can see hide and others now thanks :D

also showed my dad he loves it have been showing it off to people as I do with any neat thing I can get for my phone :D

also doesn't work it at lockscreen our even after trying to use it at lockscreen till next text
[Android Apps and Games] FlightGear:
I don't think activities can be shown on the lockscreen. The text message dialogs are individual activities so I don't think I can place them on the lockscreen. If I do find a way though, I'll implement that into the app. Thanks for the tip!
[Android Apps and Games] deathblade:
k cool, i would also like to pint out that if you are using a alt messaging app that has an option to wake upon receiveing a text enabled the app works fine, though if it wakes to the lockscreen and is in your pocket at the time you receive a text then this app wont respond to any sweeping after unlocking until you receive another text (unless of course the same scenario happens at which case you'd have to open the text normally) now if there is a way for it to ignore all sweeping over the sensor while at lockscreen then this would be fixed but as im not an app dev idk what you can and cant do, maybe something to look into maybe a waste of time idk, just the only thing that i can think of that would provide a nice work around
[Android Apps and Games] FlightGear:
That sounds like a good plan. I'm looking into implementing that right now.

Also, the price of the app has been reduced by 25% ($1.50). It has also been released in most European Union countries, so if you weren't able to download it before because of country limitations, you can get it now (as long as you're in the EU)!

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.FlightGear.SweepTextingFree
[Android Apps and Games] deathblade:
Also just found that under certain situations sweep texting may keep the proximity sensor on even if there are no more texts but a user workaround is to freeze the app with titanium backup or rom toolbox(what I use) or the like and then to unfreeze it will see if I can figure out what causes it or get log for you
[Android Apps and Games] FlightGear:
Really? Huh, that's the first time someone's run into that problem. Thanks for letting me know. And yes, if you can get me a log or other way to recreate the problem, that would be super helpful. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] deathblade:
Np, if you have a gtalk or a faster means to communicate I can deffenately be a good tester or at least be able to report things to you faster

Feel free to email me at youforgotwhat@gmail.com

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miles Wolf:
Hi there again.

I have a R800i.

- ROM: Gin2JellyBean.

- Baseband: 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-102028B-67 (I don't know what is this D:).

- Kernel: Doomlord's v14.

FIRST QUESTION

Well. At first I had problems installing Doomlord's Kernel but as you can see I finally did it.

Now I have a problem, and is that I don't have Wifi. Yes, I know that I have to install it with the modules from the SD that I downloaded using the recovery... But here's the real problem: I can't get into recovery mode.

I installed X-Parts v7 and after installing CWM I use the button "Restart into recovery mode" but nothing happens. I tried installing CWM 5 and nothing happens too.

Once in the recovery, how I install the wifi modules zip I have on my SD Card?

SOLVED--- I had to press the Volume Down Button AFTER the logo of DoomLord's Kernel. Why nobody says these things? ù__ú

SECOND QUESTION

With the stock kernel, Gin2JellyBean drained battery extremely fast, and I was told that installing Doomlord's Kernel this problem would solve, but I see the battery draining fast too... Has Doomlord's Kernel any special menu where I should switch any option that would help me? How I access that menu?

THIRD QUESTION

I love Gin2JellyBean only because I wanted the menus and lock screen to look like in Ice Cream Sandwich/Jelly Bean, but if I dont find a solution to the battery draining problem I'll have to go back to the stock ROM... Is there any way to make the stock ROM look like ICS/JB and to have on it swithces (sound, wifi, etc.) on the taskbar? Is the only thing I want.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
Second question: download some sort of CPU manager off of play market and change from 1024 Hz to a lower amount this will increase battery but lower performance. To increase performance just higher it but I wouldnt recommend higher than 1400 so you don't ruin your phone. The only reason you need doomkernels is because it supports overclocking.

Third Question: you can only edit themes on custom roms

ROM: Extreme ICS

Kernel: Turbo v2.1
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sewer56lol:
1st Question

The recovery in DoomKernel and Lupus is accessed by pressing the back button not the vol down button. X-parts recovery does not support Aroma so I won't reccomend using it (Last time I tried it didn't but that was some time ago and could be fixed)

2nd Question

Are you sure an app isn't suspending you from Deep Sleep? Also if you are using an over clock setting make sure to use some good governor like interactivex or Smartass v2

You can also try the NXT ROM or New Test version of my rom if you really think it is a ROM issue.

3rd Question

Gin2jb is not only a ROM, it is also a theme - if you want to keep on stock you can flash theme only package

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnprjt:
Hi everyone,

I am using a nexus 4, jelly bean 4.2.1, have been rooted. After a week of use, I have noticed some problems:

- Camera: sometimes it stopped working, can't take photos. I searched and found this problem was reported somewhere.

- Laggy transitions in app drawing when I am installing some apps.

- Wifi connection: sometime it doesnt find the wifi network while my friend's iphone can see it.

- Mobile data: After long hours of unused, mobile data is disabled. The only ways to enable it are enable airplane mode or reboot. I saw this problem reported elsewhere too.

- Random laggy: overall the phone is fast and smooth. However, sometimes I find it laggy when opening or closing apps. It happens randomly.

- Baterry drain: sometimes the battery drain significantly. I once experienced 33% to 13% in few minutes of camera use.

Has anyone had the same problem? Hopefully it was a software problem. Do you recommend any other better custom ROM?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnprjt:
Figure out battery drain problem.

I flashed the original stock rom, wipe all data and apps. Today I can use my phone all day with screen on ~ 3hours and ~ 40% battery remaining. Yesterday I noticed an app called LINE ate up 25% of my battery. I thought it was a wrong measurement. However, after removing it, my battery improved significantly.
[HTC One X+] mrbro0ks:
I have done some research as to how I would go about rooting this phone but I'm a little confused to say the least. Let me first say that I am on a mac and the first phone I rooted was Inspire. This was also the last phone I rooted because of how complicated it was. My main question is does unlocking the bootloader mean that the phone is rooted and I can just install a rom? If so how would I install a rom after unlocking the bootloader? Is there anything else I should be doing? As I said I'm very unsure how to go about this so any information is appreciated. Thanks.
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
No. All unlocking the bootloader does is remove security protection on certain partitions. After you unlock the bootloader, you need to flash a custom recovery from fastboot. Once you have a custom recovery, you can use it to either flash a rooted update.zip or a rooted custom rom.
[HTC One X+] cagrant:
As a person who bricked allot of phones learning, if you don't you don't understand how the process works or understand how to do it, I would leave your phone alone. The benefits you gain from rooting wouldn't benefit you much. If you skip a step or do something wrong you will end up with a nice paper weight. Not trying to discourage you, it is your phone after all.:)
[HTC One X+] NasaGeek:
It is really quite difficult to brick an HTC phone that doesn't have S-OFF. As long as the bootloader is there, there is always a path to restore the phone's functionality.
[HTC One X+] mrbro0ks:
I'm hoping to find a step by step guide to walk me through exactly how I would go about this. For example I know I have to flash a rom but what rom should I be flashing? Now I know this is a matter of option but I guess I'm asking what has the least amount of bugs, best stability/battery life, etc. I know you need a kernel but is that something that gets installed when I flash a rom or does that need to be done separately. The main reason for doing this is customization, battery life and actually getting updates the os. Again any input is appreciated.
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
Maybe there is a tutorial in android dev. I'm not sure tho. The which rom is the best question is kinda frowned on here, i've seen mods close threads for it. It's just asking to start a flame war.

The kernel is also known as the boot.img. you will find it inside the rom.zip for any custom rom. Untill we have S-Off it cannot be flashed with the rest of the rom in recovery. You need to extract it and flash it from fastboot using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
[HTC One X+] mrbro0ks:
I apologize I wasn't trying to start anything. I just really don't have any idea as to which rom would suit my needs best so I was just looking for advice/opinions from people who are more knowledgeable then me.

Now you said I would need to extract the kernel, is the kernel in a zip file with the rom that after extracted I would both flash separately? I believe fastboot is the screen with the solid black background and the yellow text with options is that correct? "fastboot flash boot boot.img" is that a option I would select or is that a command I need enter? Sorry for all of the questions I just want to be clear on exactly what I need to do as I don't want to make my phone unusable.

I've been having interest issues so the only access I have is my phone. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next couple of days so I can check out the development section for a tutorial on rooting.

Again thanks everyone for the help so far.
[HTC One X+] Haerviu:
So is there any tutorial out there for mac users?

I've been searching with no luck. Everyone is using the one click windows tool

Backtrac won't let you do a lot of the security things is meant for, but that's am issue with the hardware not supporting the necessary modes not the software being incompletely ported.

But Ubuntu runs flawlessly for me. Nice to have GIMP and such on my phone when I need it; which is rare but still nice to have.
