ViperMax Bootloop.

I have an interesting dilemma I have only seen mentioned one other time. For some unknown reason for what seems to be completely random I will manually reboot my phone and it never passes the ViperMax splash screen. This has happened to me 3x now since I got my One Max. The first time a couple weeks ago it was later the same night after I flashed ViperMax I booted to recovery and made a TWRP backup. After the backup was finished I chose to reboot and it just sits at the ViperMax splash, not frozen the logo is spinning, but the screen never dims like it does right before it normally loads the lockscreen.

I figured it must be something funny with rebooting from TWRP. So I get back into recovery wipe everything 2x and reinstall the ROM. Then reboot into TWRP and then ROM and TWRP and backup and reboot and everything I can to replicate the problem but I could not. About a week later it happened again but I was at home so I didn't mind redoing everything again.

Well it happened again this morning just as I was getting ready to walk out the door for work. I have been monitoring my battery usage and wanted to walk out the door with a fully charged battery and fresh reboot for BBS. SO I do a long press power button, select restart then reboot. It reboots and hangs at the splash. I've waited up to 45 minutes and it never fully boots. So I try holding power/volume up until it reboots but it still won't pass the splash. SO I boot back into recovery make a quick backup because I wasn't ready to loos all my data and wipe dalvic and cache and reboot again, get the "Android is Upgrading" counts through all 321 apps and then then right back to the splash screen and still won't pass the splash. I boot to recovery and dirty flash the ROM and reboot get the Android is upgrading again but it still won't pass the splash screen. So back to recovery and wipe everything but data and reflash the ROM but it still gets stuck at the splash screen. I try wiping everything 2x and restoring my backup but it still won't pass the splash. I tried for almost 2 hours and finally give up and wipe all partitions 2x then factory reset and reinstall the ROM and it boots like like a champ.

So there is something in data that is stopping it from booting and I don't know what. I'm not sure when or where it happens or why I was able to reboot fine yesterday but then today it decides to hang. I haven't tinkered with anything besides the Venom Tweaks and I never touch anything in Advanced, CPU or Kernel and the stuff I have changed clock position etc. were all a week ago right after I flashed the ROM. Does anybody have any idea why this keeps happening or how to get passed it? I would love to be able to restore my backup so I can at least properly backup my texts apps etc.
[HTC One Max] wase4711:
it happens to me occasionally too.

when it does, hold power button and volume up until the screen goes dark

then, hold power down only for a second or 2 and you get to the bootloader screen

from there, just navigate to fastboot, then navigate to the reboot command, push it, and the phone will boot right up

dont go to recovery and wipe C&D, or fix permissions, just hit reboot, and let it boot; it will be fine
[HTC One Max] Namolas:
Thanks for the response buddy. I appreciate it. I gave it a good shot but still no go, I just tried reboot from Fastboot 4x and it still wouldn't pass the boot animation. I also tried shutdown from Fastboot thinking maybe it just needed a full shutdown but still won't pass the boot animation. I gave it a good 10 minutes but the boot animation never stops spinning.
[HTC One Max] wase4711:
do you have an external sd card? Can you get into recovery again?

If you can, wipe C&D in recovery, and flash the rom again from your external sd; you might luck out, and be able to boot back into it with your data intact..

Not sure if the aroma installer wipes data automatically though..
[HTC One Max] Vinchenzop:
No, aroma doesn't wipe data, just system and cache
[HTC One Max] kutster:
Hey guys, I did some looking around and couldn't find a mod to remove the Wifi nag notifications. Anyone have a fix or is that still currently being worked on?

Thanks!!!!

I thought the Kit Kat Easter Egg in Venom Tweaks was pretty damn cool! :cowboy:
[HTC One Max] frpst9:
If you use Xposed Installer, you can load a plugin called NotifyClean which does the trick.
[HTC One Max] DAJORDAN:
Feel your pain bro - I'm going through the same problem and have tried the ROm about ten times. I can setup after install but after all apps go in and I reboot it gets stuck EVERYTIME!!!
[HTC One Max] Vinchenzop:
Did you do a complete wipe in recovery before flashing the rom?
[HTC One Max] wase4711:
also, install the rom, and reboot it a couple of times before you add any of your apps; then add them a couple at a time to see if its caused by a bad app..
[HTC One Max] DAJORDAN:
Did it all everytime - cashed, delvick, data and system and each time the same outcome. After setup with all my apps i get stuck at boot screen . I'm using TRWP Recovery and don't believe that's the problem. Using Skydragon now.
[HTC One Max] Namolas:
I thought it may be TWRP related as well (just grasping for straws). So yesterday I flashed recovery back to ClockWork and wiped everything 2x and started with a fresh flash of ViperMax 1.0.1 but the problem still persists even with with CWM. I also thought it may be something to do with the boot animation, because I swear it doesn't bootloop it just never stops spinning. Changed the boot animation (long shot I know) but the problem persists.

I really wish there was some way to capture a log or something to see what is happening when it won't boot. I guess the next logical step is as Wase suggested and wipe everything fresh and install a couple apps at a time and reboot as you go until we find which app it might be. I really don't have many apps installed, I guess we could narrow it down by seeing which apps we install in common.
[HTC One Max] DAJORDAN:
Cool! Update when you can.
[HTC One Max] treetolber:
I can't figure this out. But every time I flash the ROM BlinkFeed never loads Facebook or any other add-on from accounts. And under Facebook account there is no option to sync anything except contacts. And as if that weren't enough the synced contacts from Facebook won't update the images.

I'm thinking there is something keeping Facebook from communicating with system completely because when I flash the stock ROM everything is as it should be. Also in contacts it usually adds my Facebook account profile pic as my phone profile pic. It's not doing that either.

I've tried clearing cache and resetting data with Facebook app.
[HTC One Max] wase4711:
there is a program called Hacksync in the market that might help with the contact pics in Facebook..
[HTC One Max] akastixx:
Haxsync no longer works. Facebook offered the dev a job and blocked the app from using the api, so unless you already had it installed, it doesn't work, and even if you do, you must now manually sync.
[HTC One Max] wase4711:
thanks I did not know that..
[HTC One Max] INCREMENTAL:
Since we're on the subject of rebooting I have a question. I've had the Rom installed about 2 weeks now and love it. I'm having a issue that usually happens once or twice daily but not always. The last 2 days it's ran fine and it always seems to happen while I'm using it. When it does randomly reboot it never starts up successfully so I have to power down and reboot and then it will boot up fine. I did a clean install and everything works perfect, no other issues other then this random rebooting. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Vinchenzop for all ur hard work, the Rom is sweet is every possible way.
[HTC One Max] wase4711:
I have the same thing happen to me now and then too...Not sure why, but I just deal with it when it happens..
[HTC One Max] akastixx:
Re: Swype - I was unable to get this to work. It force closes every time I restart the device or try to select it.
[HTC One Max] INCREMENTAL:
Yeah it's really not that big of a issue would just like to fix it if it was fixable. Thanks.

Does sprint spark still work on this ROM have been seeing a lot less LTE on this rom
[HTC One Max] Vinchenzop:
I changed nothing that would affect connectivity, so if you're having issues with connectivity, it is due to sprint/towers.

App in the drawer called "Side panel". Or set it to any button or 3 finger gesture in Venom Tweaks.
[HTC One Max] Jm@n:
VenomSideBar. Just side panel in the app drawer. I have it set from buttons in tweaks as long press back. You could also set it to pull out from the bottom or either side. Open the app and long press the eye for app settings

did anyone figure this (and twitter) out? I downloaded a couple stock/stockish roms, and all I saw was Facebook_Client.apk/FacebookEngine.apk in one (pushing to system/app did nothing,) and no FB apk in another one. Surely I remember having the status updates and blinkfeed stuff on the max when pulling up the contacts pre-root. Maybe some recent facebook update removed those features?
[HTC One Max] Vinchenzop:
Yes, I'll update to kitkat when we get a (preferably official) rom for the Max.
[HTC One Max] Namolas:
I don't have any problems with ViperMax 1.0.1 and the most recent Facebook update. I have LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, G+ all show and update in my BlinkFeed and sync status's to my contact cards.
[HTC One Max] treetolber:
I'm not really following what you're putting down. But I do know that when I switched to the milesoneRom and my backup of my stock Rom, Facebook and Twitter and contacts are all functioning as intended.
[HTC One Max] Jm@n:
Guys, I'm sorry it's my fault. My stock rom that was used to make this rom was missing a few apks. I used my original backup and didn't realize I had already removed a few things I don't use. I checked this out and without all of these original apks and engine apks they will not display in blinkfeed. So if on sprint rom, flash this zip and all blinkfeed services will be there.

I have spent countless hours and worked non-stop trying to figure this out. This ROM is so completely amazing in every way I refuse to give up on it. I have spent countless hours until the wee morning hours night after night, day after day. I have backed up and restored and bootlooped dozens and dozens of times and suffered for several hours at a time rebooting over and over again with different methods trying to get back into the rom to continue testing. I have RUU back to stock and changed recoveries. I have tried reformatting my memory card to FAT32 and fresh ExFat and tried different cards. I have tried replacing all debloated apps. I have tried every method of flashing the ROM I can think of in different orders and dirty flashing and partials restores. I have tried changing boot animations. I even tried wiping my internal card out of desperation. I have tried relocking my bootloader and and restoring the red text splash screen and reverting ANYTHING I have changed from stock that could be causing this. I have tried uninstalling every app and restoring them in sets of 4 and rebooting over and over and every time I was sure I figured it out it would bootloop again after one or two reboots.

I refuse to give up......and tonight it finally payed off. One tiny little insignificant seeming app that I kept over looking time and time again. One of my oldest and dearest Android apps that I never would have suspected and subsequently kept disregarding.

LightFlow

. I have rebooted at least 30 times or more since uninstalling it tonight and not got stuck a single time. Case closed? I sure hope so.....
[HTC One Max] Vinchenzop:
Sorry I couldn't of been more assistance with your issue, but it's hard to diagnose a problem I don't have and can't replicate. I'm glad you figured it out, however. Welcome to the reboot club.

Is there any way to keep the stock One Max signal icons? I kinda dig the LTE with the spinning spark and the spinning 3G wheel.

[HTC One Max] CB620:
If your good with opening up roms just pull the png files and paste them in the Viper rom.
[HTC One Max] treetolber:
Never done it before but not afraid to try. There's gotta be a tutorial out there somewhere.

Thanks
[HTC One Max] Jm@n:
That's not going to bring back the spark setup. Vin changed the code for everyone to use Verizon icons for theming purposes. If you want sprint style icons install one of my eqs themes and just use the 3g and 4g icons from it, they're white sprint style. If you really wanted to get back the spark icons and spinning star, you will loose anything theming related to those icons

+1, I though I was losing it for a moment.

If it is happening on anyone else's phone, does anyone know why the dialer is asking for root access every so often?
[HTC One Max] wase4711:
hasnt happened to me since day 1 of this rom..did you change the dialer app?
[HTC One Max] CB620:
My only issue with this rom is that my apps are constantly running in the background. Every time I open my task manager or double tap the home button I have at least 10 apps running. Ones I know I closed. Only way to get rid of them is the stop all function. That's causes force closes though.

Then don't reboot your phone...

I haven't had any issues with my keyboard (SwiftKey) resetting back to the default...anyone else have issues?
[HTC One Max] Basil3:
I know we have had similar problems in the past on the One. Solution could be top back up your keyboard with titanium backup, then restore it. This changes the location of the apk, and may help your issue. Worth a shot anyway.
[HTC One Max] SwordOfWar:
Thanks for the tip Basil3. This fixed the issue for me.

Just to be clear (incase someone else has the same problem), I backed up the keyboard I wanted to use (Swype) and restored it without uninstalling it.

Does anyone know why my SD card won't hold my music? I have a brand new Samsung 64gb card. Loaded it up with my music, only about 4 gigs worth (700 songs or so). Then after a little bit the music player says it can't play those files and the storage app shows there not being any music at all. Is the music app wiping them off?
[HTC One Max] Namolas:
I haven't had any problems with my SanDisc 64gb card but I paid a fortune for it more than a year ago. Are you sure the card you got is authentic? There are lots of fake sdcards floating around for "to good to be true" prices.

Yea I had one of those "fake" ones at first. I guess this is authentic. I came in a Samsung package. I paid almost $40 for it. It seems to function properly in every other way.

What file type is the music. Sometimes my phone tries to convert to music to another format.
[HTC One Max] treetolber:
They are just standard mp3's. I had the exact same files on my One and my Evo LTE and my Evo 3D.., so on. The only differences are the sd card and the device.
[HTC One Max] Namolas:
Do you have an old smaller GB card you can try and see if the problem persists?
[HTC One Max] treetolber:
That's a good idea. I will try that.

**UPDATE**

I loaded up an old 4gb card, stuck it in and so far so good. Now I am loading the 64gb card the same way I loaded the 4gb card which is by using a card reader plugged into the USB port instead of plugging the phone into the USB cable and coping/syncing through the phone.

**REUPDATE**

It seems to be reading the music fine so far. I forgot to mention that I reformatted the card in TWRP. I was originally working off of the factory format. Maybe this did it, not sure. Also forgot to mention it is an microSDXC card rather than microSDHC. Not sure if this phone cares or not.

Anyway, thanks for the looking out everyone!

Okay, for those that have kept up with my SD card drama. The card is in and working fine, or so it seems. I cannot however access any ringtones or notification tones from the sd card. Is this a Max issue or do I have to copy them to the system media folder, or is there a better solution? Actually now that I think about it I also tried copying them to the internal storage SD and still it can't find them from the settings menu.
[HTC One Max] Namolas:
I just threw the Ringtones and Notification folder from my Note 3 onto the root of the sdcard in my Max and rebooted and they show up in the sounds menu as expected.
[HTC One Max] treetolber:
Maybe I should try rebooting. Duh!!

**Update**

Rebooting did not change the situation.

**Reupdate**

It's working now from the microSD card. I guess when I had copied them the first time the phone would see them from explorer but not play them therefore it would not display unplayable files in the settings menus. I just recopied them to the SD card and everything is as designed now.

Thanks for the help!
