H8rift is still around working on other HTC devices but his Evita has long ago bit the dust so I've been handling the testing on evita. The rest of the HTC msm8960 team has kept this going along with ville/jewel/fireball and the m7 series.

As for cm11 they have moved to weekly builds and I believe 1 more "M" build is scheduled before all focus moves to cm12 exclusively.

My wifi icon gets stuck and cannot enable at all.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
For the best consistent experience please follow the steps in OP. Use the last available RUU (3.18) to get to clean slate and follow the provided link to update to the firmware from the final OTA for Evita (5.18). This updated FW is what CM was built on so its best to be on the same base as everyone else.

htc one x evita

i was happy with this lollipo very well. current running version cm12 20150108. my battery was draining heavily... is there any solution for this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] niihelium:
Finally! Everything worked perfectly after updating 5.18 DOC. But faced with some difficulties. Decision under the spoiler.

I flashed 5.18 RUU and after this my phone run into loop [white HTC csreen] -> [standart recovery(with green arrow)] -> [restart].

So, my following actions:

0. Hold down 'Power' button for ~10 sec. This reboots phone, but after screen turned black press 'Power'+'Vol. Down' and it goes into bootloader.

1. Go into fastboot mode through bootloader and flash latest CWM recovery with PC:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

2. After this reboot into recovery, mount USB. Download latest nightly and GApps, put them on SD and flash with recovery.

3. Reboot. All works perfectly well.

After all I gues that my problem was older than 2.18 hboot version.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droydr:
I can't update to RUU 3.18 or firmware 5.18 because I'm on a Windows 8.1 machine and adb/fastboot USB doesn't recognize my Evita from this machine.

If I just do a clean flash from TWRP without doing either of those "required" steps, will CM12 still run ok?

My bootloader details are below. Thanks for any help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] undivide:
you're right. not sure why I was thinking dirty flash would be the answer. just because cm says its good doesn't mean it really is. I'll do a full wipe with a fresh gapps package later.

htc one xl gets stuck on update to 12.1

Hi there,

i have tried several images and its always the same. Boot sucks at the little blinking robot. And yes i waited between 30 minutes and 2h. I tried to clear the caches (...dalvik). I tried a install from recovery with system cleared. And last but not least i tried to install 12.1 and GAPS at once.

It allways ended in the same way B00t stuck.

Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
OK lets check the basics...

Hboot version?

S-on or s-off?

Bootloader unlocked?

Recovery version?

Data and cache formatted to ext4 or f2fs?

Factory reset from recovery before flashing ROM+gapps?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Notorio:
Same exact situation here. Has happened to me about 4 times in the past 2 days.

Hboot: 2.18

S-Off

Bootloader unlocked

TWRP 2.8.5

Data & cache are formatted to f2fs.

Yes.

For a while before I got my Moto X (that I dropped, that's why I'm back here for now) my phone used to have random reboots while on f2fs all the time. That's still a thing now so I'll switch back to ext4 & report back. 5.1 seemed a lot faster on this device so I may not need f2fs.

I'd also like to say thank you for keeping this phone on life support. It's over 3 years old & you're still working on it :good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
All that looks appropriate, only suggestion is to grab most current twrp from https://mdmower.cmphys.com/ Now that f2fs has made it main line, these are the most up to date builds.

Fwiw I've been on f2fs exclusively since I released the old hacky methods.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Notorio:
Switched back to ext4 & honestly the difference is negligible for me. The only problem is I'm still getting random reboots. Not sure where those are coming from, though the next time it happens I'll grab a logcat.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
You guys arent dirty flashing from 12.0 are you? I flashed 4/24 build without issue earlier today.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] p3terr:
nope, no dirty flash, wiped system and factory reset.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
Just for kicks I just did clean flash, f2fs on cache & data, 4/24 nightly, 2.18 hboot. PAGAPPS full set from 3/15. 20 mins or so to boot.

So 2 thoughts ...

1.. Gapps packages.... May be try a different set or boot without gapps.

2.. I noticed a while back that the white "optimizing apps" box that came on fist boot in 12.0 doesn't show in 12.1. First boot it does all that behind the scenes with boot animation playing. Possible you guys are just impatient?

random reboots and bootloop

I get random reboots as well, only when plugged into a computer. Enabling or disabling adb in developer options doesn't make a difference. I attached a last_kmesg for that.

I also have a bootloop when booting. It loops a random number of times before finally succeeding. When unplugged it can loop for 5 minutes or more, when plugged into a computer it typically only loops 3 or 4 times. I have f2fs for /cache, /data and sdcard, and encrypted /data.

I've had the problem for a while, but it is still happening after a complete wipe with the 4/24 nightlly. I set a lockscreen PIN before encrypting and encrypted after maybe the second boot. Unfortunately I forgot whether I had the bootloop before encrypting. I'm using the unofficial TWRP from mdmower but I had the same thing with the bundled cyanogen recovery and official twrp.

=====

Edit random reboot just happened without being plugged into a computer. This happened after hours of uptime vs minutes when plugged in.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Notorio:
I was running the last unofficial build from your server until I realized that 12.1 for our device had gone official. I just flashed 4.26 about an hour ago, 2 random reboots so far (one as I type this.) kmsg & logcat attached.

Nope, I clean flashed from 12.0 to 12.1 unofficial, then clean flashed again to the latest build.

1. Tried 2 different gapps packages, same results.

2. It shouldn't take up to 2 hours though should it? That's the longest I waited before I decided to factory reset. The reboots don't always cause bootloops. Sometimes it'll reboot & work just fine...until it reboots again.

I have noticed that I get most of my reboots while running the wifi hotspot. I can't control when it reboots on command though.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] audit13:
For me, the only ROM that didn't have the random reboot was the 2014-04-04 nightly which is a 5.02 ROM. Although I didn't have reboots with the 5.02 ROM, I get weird errors where I cannot make or receive a call. I leave it for a few minutes and calls go through.

Cm 12.1 nightlies... https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=evita

Oh btw. OTA updater is still struggling to find 12.1 updates so that's a manual process until that gets fixed up.

Also...you guys and the reboots. They only thing that stood out in the logs was a unrelated selinux denial for compass. You've got my attention though, I pulled my Sim from my OPO so I can run Evita for the day.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thelonewolf_pav:
wow... you guys are quick! :)

is it worth upgrading from 5.1? and can I dirty-flash it over 5.1?

as a side note, the more time passes, the more pleased I become with 5.1. it brought my evita back to life. the lags are almost gone and for the first time I feel that CM12 can be a real daily driver. I use stock CM12.1 with F2FS, no tweaks, no swap. everything just works right out of the box. thank you guys for your amazing work!

as another side note, I don't have reboots with 5.1, whatsoever. what I do have is random turn-offs. not SOD, but a complete turn-off. I just find out that the device in my pocket is completely dead and needs to be turned on -- about every other day. this is really weird and I can't attribute it to anything specific -- activity, battery state or anything else. any one of you guys get this?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Notorio:
Got 3 random reboots today. The first was a run of the mill. Afterward I clean flashed this time with Torched & went back to f2fs to see if that'd help. Nope. The 2nd reboot resulted in a bootloop, waited an hour for it to come back on. Afterward I clean flashed with f2fs but without Torched. The 3rd reboot was like the first, back to normal.

I'm about flashed out over here. Can't wait to get my RMA from Motorola :(

I used to get those a long time ago, haven't had them in a long while though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
I've carried Evita all day today, had a couple reboots while plugged into charger but since then it's been stable.

The idea here is to find something reproducible. I can make a boot image with some extra debug enabled but I need a better idea what I'm looking for.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] undivide:
do you guys flash cm12 fresh then boot up then go back to recovery to flash gapps or do you flash it all back to back in recovery before first boot up? I'm doing a fresh flash of 4/26 nightly with Delta Gapps base for 5.1.x. will report back how stable this setup is.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] undivide:
yeah this is my backup / test phone . I like to play with changes before they come to my G3 (the direct link to the wife!) cannot go down!

I just use the evita as a chromecast/nest remote.

so far the boot-up time was super quick from rom & gapps flashing, talking less than 10 minutes, maybe less than 5.

I am on the latest version of twrp and these were flashed from the onboard storage NOT adb like I used to do
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Notorio:
I flash both, but I use minimal edition gapps.

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

The only common theme between my reboots is the hotspot. I have them when I use the one built into android & when I use FoxFi.

Last week I did have a weird incident where Viper Audio caused a massive memory leak, rebooted to fix it but then got trapped in a bootloop. Haven't had that problem before or since though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shsaifee:
I have flashed the 4/26 nightly (cm-12.1-20150426-NIGHTLY-evita.zip) last night along with the gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip and have seen 3 reboots while getting charged through my laptop usb port.

Also, I see the FM app is missing. I use that heavily to listen to some music while commuting. Is there anything that I missed?

Please help.

Edit: I searched the forum for any apk that would be useful for getting the FM to work and I stumbled upon this thread here

[MENTION=2836769]jrior001[/MENTION] I narrowed it down a bit today by paying attention to what's happening right before a reboot. It seems to reboot whenever a lot of data is being transferred. Earlier today while I was updating a bunch of apps (10) it rebooted right in the middle. Just a few minutes ago while watching a video stream it rebooted again during that as well. This isn't conclusive as I've only watched it happen twice, but if it keeps going down this way then I'll know for sure. If this is the case I wonder what the fix could be?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thelonewolf_pav:
Notorio,

as I said, it doesn't happen on my end, so i assume one of two things: overheating or CPU voltages being too low.

are you on a stock kernel? if not, try installing Torched Kernel 2.0. it adds many useful features and control over the kernel, and also improves performance.

next, try installing Trickster Mod and turn on Temperature Throttle (it's on by default, i think).

if that doesn't help, try playing with the voltages. i'd start by REDUCING the voltages to see if the CPU is overheating due to voltages being too high. if this makes things worse, restore to default and then try INCREASING the voltages, just don't make them too high or you'll damage your CPU. I'd try going 2-3 steps (0.25mV) down, then 2-3 steps up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Notorio:
I'm aware of Torch's benefits, but I'm also aware of its disadvantages at least in my case. When I'm using Torched I'm more likely to get boot loops after a reboot as opposed to stock. I'll stick with stock for now.

I haven't played with the voltages on stock & in Trickster Mod my CPU temp throttling was disabled. I enabled it, then tested the data theory, and I still ended up with a reboot (tried to watch a youtube video via hotspot on my Nexus). My phone usually runs at regular temperature (at least to the touch) while the hotspot is running so I'm not sure about this one. Throttling is still enabled though so we'll see.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thewaronerror:
It happens to me just sitting there. Today with about 80% battery, airplane mode on and wifi on, it rebooted after less than an hour and bootlooped for about 10 minutes before finally succeeding to show the cyanogenmod boot animation. The NFC, bluetooth and wireless radios were off and this phone hasn't had a sim in it for months. The only activity was receiving email. I turned off wifi and rebooted again and now it has gone several hours without a reboot.

I have looked for an FM application on Play Store, but most of the results were applications requiring wi-fi connection, so they weren't really FM radio applications.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shsaifee:
I can't say when was that removed but when I installed the CM12.1 Nightly of April 26, 2015 I did not find the FM radio app in it. (Although I am updating the nightlies as soon as they are released). I had jumped to CM from the Stock ROM where the FM app was available. (Was on Stock AT&T ROM. Here is the Link --> STOCK Go to the bottom of the page and you would find a Download link. The file is 784 MB in size.

I can definitely confirm that it has worked ever since I have had this phone. :)

And I found this apk and is available for download here --> FM Radio

I have installed this and is working, although a few bugs are there (like once you play the FM using your headphones, you cannot switch to the phone speaker because it does not play on the phone speaker). It saved me from going back to Stock. :):)

You guys rock!!!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shsaifee:
I have 2 questions.

1. Is there a place where I can go and check about the release notes for the nightly ROMs those are released, like, what's working and what's not?

2. Is there any mechanism to inform about the new release for a ROM be it a nightly/Stable/RC/etc..? (Getting alerts telling you there is a new release out there) :)

Don't bother that's massive fail waiting to happen. I did some digging, FM radio was never brought into CM for our device. It's possible to add support but it's new territory for me so it won't happen quickly.

The changelog on cmxlog does not match the changes shown om the updater app which you can see for today here:

For example

ddc11c8 f2fs-tools: release 1.4.1

eb059e3 mkfs.f2fs: support large sector size

Is this actually in our rom? Also, if it were, could I use it in the unofficial TWRP or does a new recovery have to be built? What about the cyanogen recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
Beginning with the 12.1 build f2fs is supported on days and cache partitions.

The official twrp build are not following new changes like I would prefer so for now get your twrp recovery build from my f2fs thread or for more updated versions here by mdmower (cm maintainer for m7/fireball)

http://android.cmphys.com/twrp-evita/

From twrp you can format data and cache as f2fs if desired. Formatting data of course is like factory reset so be prepared for that.

As for the Chanellos being out of sequence I'm not really sure what's up there.
