[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BopChie:
i have hit a wall here with 4.2.8

info

was runing 4.2.7.1 with no issues

wiped data,flashed 1.6 recovery then installed 4.2.8

my g1 didnt want to connect to google to register, kept getting a cant connect to server or something so i reflashed

finally got that to go and now once i got it booted and started installing apps i got a repeating black screen like home fc'd silently then home reappears and goes black.. enless loop....

also i am not running hard spl... i have had issues when updating manually and with cmupdater in the past, never been able to update and keep all my apps .. can not having hardspl be the cause?? or am i just a tool that is missing something lol

this is what i get from logcat after i get up and running in 4.2.8 during the mentioned loop
