Reboot loop after install

I'm only getting reboot loop after install

I did a fresh install (wiped everything) since I had a different ROM installed previously.

CM gets to where it begins to load the homescreen and then it reboots. Its done it 15+ times.

I re-downloaded the package and re-installed (after wiping everything again), but no luck

Any ideas guys?

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Are you using 4Ext Recovery with Smart Flash enabled?
[HTC Amaze 4G] pdcrzylazy:
Doing a quick Google search I found that other devices, like the HTC One X, using CM10/10.1 have fixed the call echo issues it seems. Is it possible that we could do whatever they did to fix the call echo on the Amaze?

There are a few devices that apparently have resolved the call echo. Maybe one of those devices will have the solution we need to resolve it on the Amaze.

Experienced returning as a noob

im running a stock 4.0 HTC amaze 4G for about 2 yrs now. i used to be into flashing back in the windows mobile days. Havent been much active lately but im coming back and would like to update my amaze 4g to a 4.1 or higher with a very stock feel. i have no way on how to start. can anyone point me in the right direction?
[HTC Amaze 4G] the show stopper:
There is not much development on Amaze.

Anyway... go to hasoon2000 all in one tool kit for amaze 4g thread. unlock the bootloader and flash any rom you like.

rom

is the rom on this thread good? and how do i go about backing everything up before installing new rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] the show stopper:
CM is One of the best roms available. It has few bugs like in call volume can't control during call, echo during call. You can transfer all the files to sd and for apps, you can try titanium back up.
[HTC Amaze 4G] CLS_500:
Roms

which would be the rom to get on if i just wanted a simplistic rom with jellybean.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
This one for sure. It's about as close to pure jellybean as you'll find for the Amaze. The CM pieces enhance the experience rather than try to cover it up. The few issues you'll find are common to all JB ROMs for the Amaze as they are based on this one. I for one am hooked.
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
There is still the ext sd card not mounting issue, but it mounts through recovery so not a huge problem.

Sent from the Twilight Zone
[HTC Amaze 4G] the show stopper:
Agree with BillyD325 as all the other roms are based on this rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EmbGuy:
1. How bad is the echo on this ROM? Is it usable?

2. It said that this ROM cannot adjust the audio volume during a call. Can I adjust it to my liking (max. as I have hearing lost) before any call? Is the max volume same as stock max volume?

TIA
[HTC Amaze 4G] Stopfakn:
Is there any chance that WiFi calling can be added to cyanogen?
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
Probably not, that's a tmobile feature.

Sent from the Twilight Zone
[HTC Amaze 4G] Stopfakn:
Thanks for the quick reply. Sucks though cause I need it. I even tried copying and installing the apk, to no avail of course
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
For that you need a stock based T-mobile rom. It's a T-mobile exclusive feature.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
1. Echo is not bad and only happens occasionaly

2. It means the call volume is stuck at the same level all the time you can adjust the media volume and ringtone volume at will. Call volume is loud enough but since you have hearing loss I would try it out first

Nope the WiFi calling stack was not updated passed ics
[HTC Amaze 4G] View92612:
That's the reason I am still on stock. T-Mobile coverage is very poor at home. My Amaze is unusable without Wifi-calling. The best I could do was rooting and getting rid of some of the TMO bloatware like Name ID...,etc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
That is a Jellybean issue in general and affects all phones as far as I know. It only allows one SD card to be mounted. I remember there is a way to make it default to the external card, but it's on another thread and I don't remember where.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Use mtp
[HTC Amaze 4G] EduardoZ714:
Sorry if this question was asked/answered already but I'm away from my computer to use the search option efficiently. I'm on the latest 5/18 build and I get system ui crashes that I didn't get before. Is this a bad build and should I flash the build before this one? Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] gbgadgets:
sportsstar89

What are your thoughts on the direction of this ROM and the Amaze as an official CM supported device? I saw this on the CM g+ thread and thought perhaps there is an opportunity to reintegrate the ruby to the main cm release schedule for nightlies (http://goo.gl/i2kxz), and possible benefit of other device independent cm10.1 small fixes/changes that nightlies may include from time to time.

I do appreciate your time if you or others feel inclined to respond.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
Speaking of WiFi calling. Is there any way to port it from the more modern phones. Like the HTC one. Just curious.
[HTC Amaze 4G] yo2boy:
It's not even on the Nexus 4 which T-Mobile sells. Once it's available on the Nexus 4 it'll be easily ported to CM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Wi-Fi calling is not available in aosp ROMs past ICS because the WiFi calling stack was not updated past ics
[HTC Amaze 4G] skulnik:
I just updated to 10.1, very happy with the Rom so far. The only issue I'm having is that the governor continues to revert back to 1134mhz as the max clock speed. I have tried both the inherent governor under performance settings and setcpu. I don't want to overclock, just want to run at the factory 1512mhz. I have selected 'set on boot' but it seems to be of no use. Any suggestions?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Got my build machine back up and running building up a new cm-10.1 with higher pmem allocation
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
Higher pmem allocations means...
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
No more reboots with the error "switching to ashmem out of PMEM" also the kernel has been update to 3.0.83
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Hey, Sportsstar89,

Any ideas on what was causing the backlight to act up on the 5/18 build?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Nope maybe the senor I'll have to see it for myself BTW the new build is up it is untested as I no longer have my amaze it may not boot as I increased the amount of pmem try it out
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Display flashes off/on during inital boot, then finally... no display. backlight stays on though. reboot - same behavior.

Couldn't pull a logcat. Darn windows 8 machine!
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Well I'm gonna need a log cat and last_kmsg
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Remind me again how to do that? I'll give it a try. I'll do a nandroid backup, factory reset, then flash the ROM and nothing else, and post the results.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Is there a hardware reset on the Amaze? if so then do it like this first let the rom run and obatain a logcat from boot then hit the hardware reset on the back then go into recovery and get the the last_kmsg from inside /proc
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
I did a fresh install, got the flickering boot screen, then the black screen instead of the home screen. Hardware keys make it vibrate. That is all. And I just realized I don't have the sdk on this computer. D'oh!
[HTC Amaze 4G] dthomp01:
I had done a head to head between 4/05 and 5/18 with my phone and my wife's. The sensor readings on 5/18 are consistently much higher. I had to use lux and the camera capture option to get realistic light to sensor performance on 5/18.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Camera capture option?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I'm trying to run logcat from my win7 laptop (which usually works), but it just sits there with "waiting for device".

IIRC, doesn't cm10.1 have extra security settings that are needed to change in order to logcat remotely?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Okay, so I installed 5/18 cm10.1 first, loaded all my apps, and enabled usb adb

then installed latest build.

Didn't allow me to logcat during boot.

But here is a logcat....
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Any plans to do a 4.3 build?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dthomp01:
The lux app allows you to use the front or back facing camera as a light sensor, but will only adjust on screen wake. you lose any dynamic brightness.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Is 4.3 in aosp yet?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Rumours said it's already leaked in nexus 4 and 7 phones? Maybe I'm wrong but I saw something like that
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
It's available to test for the galaxy s4 nexus owners.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
no source yet fellas means no cm.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Well it's still JB no major change, it'll be out before year end hopefully according to android police
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
No it comes out later in July. He's just too eager. :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] WiiR0cKz:
Any of you having issues with data turning off after like 10 mins
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
The leak isn't even booting on the n4 because we don't have the kernel and requires some kernel changes
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Didn't know that..well the S4 users are already experiencing it saw some roms in S4 dev section
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
Any feedback on the newest build? I want to try it but this is my daily driver so I can't afford for it not to work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] offrotor:
I returned to Sports's stock (rooted) rom till volume is worked out. patiently waiting.... Keep up the good work!
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
I'd be surprised if it was at this point, but was asking if you were planning to port it when it is, seeing as how CM10.1 has some flaws.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Of course I'll build it :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Cool!

Any luck getting logs from the 6/28 build? I'm installing the SDK on this PC right now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
No but I have another build in the works
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Good to hear. I got the SDK installed, ready to adb a logcat if needed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Sweet the knew build boots with the new pmem arrangement which means no more soft reboots also the kernel has been updated to 3.0.84 gotta upload now
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Uploaded video recording is borked will be fixed in next build can fix by taking the vendor-camera in lib hw from past build and putting it in lib hw along with camera.default from last build but GPS working and video playback
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Awesome work! Can't wait to take it for a spin!
[HTC Amaze 4G] windcan:
Full wipe coming from previous may release?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Nope only if you have problems with new build
[HTC Amaze 4G] TheCrazyDirectioner:
Haven't tried the newest release but before, when I turned on Bluetooth it would crash the phone and after rebooting would get stuck in a constant bootloop until going into recovery and wiping data/factory reset. Have we solved that yet?

4.3 is apparently a TINY update from 4.2.2, so it'd probably be nicer to see devs continuing to iron out 4.2.2 on our Amaze rather then jump to making a port of 4.3. Just IMO.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
just loaded it all up, all good!

I started from scratch, but just finished restoring my data with titanium. Looking good.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dthomp01:
Does the light sensor work?

EDIT: I mean does it read high like 5/18?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
That was due to lack of pmem that is fixed now

I am not sure to be honest
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Light sensor is still acting up.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Alright.

Tried putting together a quick patch zip for those of you loading the latest build. Again, this patch is only for the 7/1 build, and puts the files in the appropriate place to fix the camcorder recording issue SportsStar89 noted in his release post

http://d-h.st/3hW
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Thanks, jeeps!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Vonrottes:
Have not been following this thread... and I'm still on the 5/18 release and recently I've started getting frequent systemUI and Trebuchet crashes.

was this normal for the 5/18?

I even tried wiping the cache/davlik but nope.

Obviously I'm going to flash 7/01.

But I was just wondering if it's a ROM instability issue or if it's my phone,theme or an app.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Normal behavior in 5/18 build.

7/01 build has those issues fixed, but the screen brightness bug remains.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Vonrottes:
Alright, cool.

Can totally live with the brightness bug :good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I'm trying velis auto brightness and it seems to be working better than lux... :thumbup:
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Thanks for the tip. I'm gonna try it, too. Here's a link to it for those who are interested:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
1 day in and no random reboots, no sysui crashes, etc.

Great job!
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Same here! And with that auto brightness app, it's getting some better battery life.
[HTC Amaze 4G] newamaze:
Hi What about the echo on the other end of the call? I would love to use this as my DD, but since I am heavy phone user its a concern for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
During the call, tap the volume rocker and slide the volume all the way down. It's controlling the mic gain, not the call volume. It's a known bug and the're looking into it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] olegkievusa:
Volume slider doesn't help me with echo, however, there is no echo when I use the BT headset!
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
BlueTooth has been reported to be working flawlessly, so there's that. I need a BT headset...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Capgun_Homicide:
Every time I change the max CPU to 1512 MHz it always reverts back to 1134 MHz. I'm on the 7/1 build.

07/01 build

Turned BT on, random reboot froze

Upon returning from boot, froze again, rebooted....

BT came on, dunno wtf happened!

I made sure to clean flash, wiped everything before trying this ROM.

*Edit: the seas have calmed, all seems ok for now
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Everything was going good, until I had a sudden problem. Tapping on "install" when it shows permissions an app requires, does nothing, but I can cancel it. WTF?!

EDIT:

Froze Velis Auto Brightness and I was able to install apps again. Weird.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dthomp01:
I just had a soft reboot on screen on. Disabled velis and it's looking good. I still get high readings from the light sensor. I'm going to try lux again.

EDIT: I am using a lock screen. If that helps anything. The screen was flickering which was why I suspected Velis.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Gurpe:
Would it be possible to have the lock screen like CM10? I mean, when I had CM10 I had slide + PIN to unlock my screen. It was useful cause I inmediately access the app I selected upon unblocking. If this is available in CM10.1 please be free to punch me in the face before explaining where I can find it =P

Btw, very smooth ROM. Better than CM10 by now. Nice work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] windcan:
Anybody try or use snapdragon app battery guru before with success on this rom?
[HTC Amaze 4G] kenypowa:
I tried it but didn't see any noticeable improvement after a few days. It was then promptly uninstalled. :silly:
[HTC Amaze 4G] yo2boy:
I remember this when I used Screen Filter back when I got the Amaze. It disabled the install button for apks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
Just want to say that so far battery life is a lot better with the new build...at least for me
[HTC Amaze 4G] jv2k:
My biggest disappointment with these JB roms has been stability. I can deal with minor quirks here and there but the random reboots, the "system has force closed", having to auto rotate, having to auto shut down, and so on and so forth. So far though this rom is running well. So far this is working well. No disabling autorotate, no removing the lockscreen, and no fancy tweaks or anything. This update has made this rom usable as my daily driver.

The only problem I seem to have is that the cpu governor seems to keep forcing us back to sensation clock speeds no matter how many times I change it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skulnik:
I had issues with clock speed as well. I tried the inherent control included with the Rom, as well as my old standby setcpu. Neither held the max clock speed I selected.

Finally after some searching I found 'no-frills setcpu'. It has a setting that will disable other apps or the system from changing clock speed. Evidently, since android 4.1, the system can self adjust its governor if deemed necessary. I've been using 'no-frills' for a week now and I have not been overridden in my governor controls. I'm running 1512 max, 384 min, interactive governor, noop i/o. It is smooth with virtually no lag.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Capgun_Homicide:
I'll give this a shot and report results. :D

[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
:confused: (Farnsworth-style) Uh-wha?
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
I think He means you can install the files by moving them into the zip to their respective directories in the kernal/root system.

The best way would be to use "adb push" . No?

Is a flash able zip out of the question? I'd research and make one my self (If possible) but the replacement HDD I got from Western Digital clicks.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
He means to adb push those Libs to your phone's lib's egl folder , silly boiy'. :p:D
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
you can just extract it and run adb push "system folder from zip" /system you'll have to mount system as r/w or go into recovery and mount system

[HTC Amaze 4G] DrDunkMcNally:
Heads up: I've tried installing the 0704 build three times with no luck. I'm unlocked, S-off, supercid. This is what happens: full wipe except sd every single time and installation goes well. I reboot the device and get my splash screen, but then instead of getting any boot animation the splash screen fades slightly. The device hangs on the splash screen image until it naturally goes to sleep. I press the power button to wake it up, backlight comes up, bottom lights come up, and the touchscreen is functional. (Press in random places on the screen and get both auditory and tactile feedback. volume buttons also function, and bottom buttons also function) I forgot that I reformatted my laptop since my last flash and am re-downloading the sdk so I can get a logcat, dmsg, and last_kmsg I'm re-downloading the .zip now to see if it was a bad download.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Yes, that would be the correct process.

I know what he meant, I just didn't know where.

Oh, okay. I can do that.

^^Or maybe I didn't have to. Kickass!

Any luck/update on that? Btw, you must be one hell of a lurker to have only made 15 posts in 4 years. :P
[HTC Amaze 4G] DrDunkMcNally:
I re-downloaded the file, reflashed and got the exact same result. (just 2 minutes ago now) The problem with that is I can't get to the dev options in the menu to activate debugging. -_- So I'm reverting for now. Also, I definitely am :P I try to take my own advice and read more than I post.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Suburban2010:
I have the same problem with this build, same process of installation, same results. Do it three times ( dowloading and installation ).
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
So this build is a no-go, then?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Gurpe:
Is there any way to update the ROM? I mean, without doing the swipe. Just "add" the changes to the existing ROM, keeping configs, apps, data, etc. (like if it was a nightly).

I ask this because I didn't find the new build in the CM update menu inside "about" menu
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
You don't have to wipe between updates except for cache and dalvik cache. And the CM Updater only looks for the OFFICIAL builds on get.cm, not Sports' unofficial builds on Goo.im.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Gurpe:
So, briefly, I can download the .zip and install it from sd card from 4Ext without any problem, taking the precaution of deleting both cache.

Thanks ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
And make sure you have SmartFlash enabled. Or it won't flash the kernel/boot.img right.
[HTC Amaze 4G] krook6023:
This ROM is so smooth, thanks for all your work Sport!

Edit: Confirmation number: 1HL36015P71682743
[HTC Amaze 4G] EduardoZ714:
I've experienced 2 random reboots one yesterday vat night and another a few minutes ago. It goes to the CyanogenMod boot screen and goes back to the home screen in a few seconds.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Sounds like the boot.img did not flash. Flash it through fastboot or (easier) return to recovery, enable SMARTFLASH in the options, and then flash your ROM. This setting apparently does not stick unless you buy the 4Ext app and turn it on there. Trust me, it's worth it though.

This, is like the best quote ever.
[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
Is there a way to get camcorder and camera to save the files onto the SD Card? Recording at 1080p would eat up my 9gb internal
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
OK Bluetooth has been added to the non working category until I can get that straightened out
[HTC Amaze 4G] fubag:
can you put Wifi Tether in non working too?

*Edit BT doesn't even turn on in the 2nd update, but rather flops back to off as soon as you click it
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Supposedly there is a way to redirect certain directories to the external storage but I haven't found it yet. Some ROMs have this ability, but not with the 4.2 camera.

Rom seems as good as cm10 but neither wireless nor wired tethering works which is a huge problem for me since I don't have Internet at home.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fubag:
you could probably download a wifi tether app off the marketplace for the time being
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Wired and wireless built-in tethering are pretty much fubar for Amaze right now. I don't know which third-party apps work, I can't seem to get them to work on my computer. If you are on T-Mobile, the only way to get it to work either way is to use the tether sniffer bypass.
[HTC Amaze 4G] static!:
So I'm curious, I can't switch and try right now but, can anyone running the ROM try the APN workaroud and an aftermarket tether app and see if that works. If so I'm switching tonight. Just saw a craigslist posting for a 1 year old HTC 1S for $100 trying to snag that!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Truck'nfool:
tether sniffer ?

What is the tether sniffer bypass ? an app or something ?

Few questions all, when I am super wiping, do I use EXT3 or EXT4. this is my first time , I have ways do a factory reset and flashed ROMS and I want to be sure? Also how do I know in future which one do I have? I want to go to 4.2.2 , however my corporate email is also attached to the phone so I want also know if anyone have issues with that as well?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Email works fine. EXT4 always full wipe when changing roms or versions of android
