Black HTC Boot Loop

Running 2.8, and on normal reboots (power off, power back on), I almost always get the black HTC boot loop screen and will have to pull battery.

Have wiped everything and tried flashing 2.8 again a couple times now, same thing keeps happening after flash -- ROM won't reboot normally from a simple power off, power on.

Could this possibly be because I have the new 2.42.blah.blah Sprint radio baseband? Rumors are it doesn't get along well with the OC kernel?

Any other thoughts/fixes? Search didn't find anything quite like this so that's why I'm posting. Thanks.

Re: [ROM][6/5/2010] Ic3Rom v2.9 - Super Fast - AOSP Look -

I'm just sticking with 2.7 with the toast kernel flashed over it. Jit runs fine with 710. Although I do like the theme of 2.9

I did a wipe and flashed to 2.9 Maps version and get continuous boot loop. Any fixes?

Re: [ROM][6

Did you have jit enabled on your previous rom?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] DominoDoug:
Not that I'm aware of. I was on Fresh Toast, went back to my original 2.1 root then tried flashing Ic3. Possibly I need to wipe all my other options available too? Data/dalvic/ext

update - wiped all these still get boot loop
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Same happens to me w/ 2.8. Wiped and came over from ZenEXP 0.9.6.2 MT3G ROM (also uses OC kernel but didn't enable JIT). See my related post from just earlier today that I also quoted above.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DominoDoug:
Got it running.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] djowen6565:
Is there another mirror for the maps version? The link to 4shared works but after waiting the alotted time their download link loops you back to the original 4shared download page. Tis very frustrating LOL.

I've tried from 3 different internet connections. Had a friend try it, tried from Home computer and also tried to download direct from phone. All with the same result... Thanks for the help. I'm loving the last build. Can't wait to try out this new one :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] djowen6565:
I finally got it. I had to create an account, search for your file through my 4shared homepage, browse your folder, check the new rom and hit download. Very weird... I'm so excited!:p

Reliable Random Reboots

2.9 Maps, no jit enabled, never was, disabled apps2sd, was installed with wipes on everything but ext because I don't have one. Never touched anything else in dconfig.

Reboots were happening reliably every 5 or so minutes, sitting there, not being touched.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AWildColin:
I just experienced the same problem several times. Neither the stock or AOSP dialer logged who was calling me either. I had to play a waiting game without talking to anyone to wait for the person calling me to call back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jcdominguez:
This is why I went back to 2.8 with JIT disabled, Live Wallpaper and overclock to 710, works beautifully!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drache777:
Oh really? Going to try that now! This ROM is definitely worth it, it's the only problem I've had across the Vanilla's.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] patch8908:
reboot

for some strange reason every time i get a phone call my phone reboots is anybody else having this problem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AWildColin:
Mine reboots if I get a call if I'm already in a call.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xortim:
Reboots consistently on 2.9. Going to downgrade to 2.8. 2.7 rebooted once phone calls end. This ROM is super fast and as close to AOSP out there ATM.

Major complaint. The rotary lock screen is

horrendous

.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zer0vette:
hmm, that's funny. I have had no reboots with 2.9. OC'd to 768
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jay24k:
Tried 2.9. Wouldn't boot. Trying 2.8 and stuck at HTC screen for 20 minutes. What is the normal boot time before it leaves the initial HTC screen?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mdawg112:
Just look in the dalvik debug monitor, should see if it's going or not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jay24k:
Tried doing he adb catlog and that and adb devices doesn't show anything.

Is there another method? It finally finished and then boot looped on 2.8 version as well. I was on DC 2.8.1 before with no issues and tried OC'ing it and would not work either. Wonder if my phone is just one of those minorities? :)

Normally I can view the bootup process using adb but wasn't able to on this one.

Edit: Flashed 2.9 of DC and adb works fine. Is my phone not compatible with the kernel or something?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DominoDoug:
Calls/battery

I can't receive calls at all. Does 2.8 have these problems? I love this rom but I can't be missing calls. My battery seems to be crap after this rom as well. Anyone else? I'm going through the recalibration process today so I hope that fixes it.

just wipe and flash my battery hasn't gotten near 60 percent over a days use with GV and Sipdroid constantly running.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AWildColin:
So for the moment, downgrade to 2.8? Can I do this without having to wipe?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drache777:
Same on 2.9, constant reboots. I downgraded to 2.8 per jcdominguez and have had 0 issues. 14 hours of uptime so far, can send/receive calls without issue.

The rotary unlock isn't my favorite, my only complaint is that the arrows showing which direction to go are just tacky, in my opinion. Also the fact you can't hit menu twice to unlock is bothersome, but not a major complaint. But that's all just being nit-picky : )
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jcdominguez:
Yeah 2.9 is definitely not ready

My current set up is as follows:

1) Ic3rom 2.8, Live Wallpaper, JIT Disabled

2) Overclock Widget (you can get it at market) set at min 510, Max 710 when awake and when asleep min of 200 Max of 400.

3) Autokill (preset set at STRICT)

4) JuiceDefender UltimateJuice with APN, MMS,WIFI set to enable. Default settings

My phone is blazing fast, I have the EVO and with these settings its much faster. UltimateJuice has to be the best application in the market, hands down, it currently extends my battery by x2.37 and thats at the current default settings.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AWildColin:
Just wiped and downgraded to 2.8 and dconfig is missing.

Re: [ROM][6/5/2010] Ic3Rom v2.9 - Super Fast - AOSP

Anyone else having ridiculously bad battery life? I'm running task killer and calibrated my battery and turned off practically every wireless setting and I'm lucky to get 5 to 6 hours total

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jcdominguez:
Not at all, the task killer you pick makes a huge difference. May i suggest AutoKiller its only for rooted phones. Also I would go back to 2.8 if you have 2.9.... I would highly recommend also getting UltimateJuice, you can get it for free via 4shared or just buy it. I would also suggest "reseting the battery" by allowing it to fully die then run a full recharge.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jcdominguez:
Delete 2.8 file from your SD card, redownload to sdcard

Wipe

Download 2.8, it should be back

if its not

Turn phone off, turn it back on but hold home key+power key for 3 seconds then let go, this will bring up the boot screen, hit restore. **only if you have a backup

if above doesnt work

wipe and upgrade to 2.9, the downgrade to 2.8 only after you wipe

Camera

Love the ROM. This version seems a little buggier. Having issues with sprint telling me it can't connect to the network.

Also...

I've noticed the camera puts a grey bar at the bottom of photos. Not sure what that's about.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
i has autokiller, i'm running 2.7 actually (works the best with Jit and toast kernel) and i just downloaded the other juice app, not the paid one. i've been playing with my autokiller settings and task killer settings to try to improve battery life.

i've already "reset" the battery. how long are you other ic3rom users getting from your battery?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jon.StatiK:
With 2.9 having its few issues it also seemed to kill my battery so I restored back to 2.8. While it is OC'd to 710-576 and Sleep 576-245 my battery will last me all day with moderate use. If I do a lot of surfing and googeling then I may have to charge it over night. So daily use is 1.5days of battery and extensive use is 1 day.

I flashed my phone from the zip a second time and that fixed it. 2.8 doesn't have Facebook for HTC Sense so I went down to 2.7, which doesn't reboot when someone calls me while I'm already in a call. However, it reboots after I'm done with a call.

This ROM is the fastest I've used, hands down. There's always one issue in each version that keeps it from being perfect.

I've been checking this thread daily. Been using 2.7 because 2.8 doesn't have Facebook for HTC Sense and 2.9 reboots on me if I get a call while I'm already in a call with someone else.

And JIT sets my phone into a reboot loop on 2.7. Hoping one of these days, I'll hit refresh and see good news regarding some of these problems.

No alehoop, it's not just you. I have had that problem over and over again with both 2.9 versions and the 2.8 one too. I followed all advice here on all these posts and the bootloops and reboot failures kept happening no matter what I tried. I couldn't ever fix it or figure out why, so I had to just quit using this ROM for now. All other ROMs work perfectly on my phone (DC, Fresh, Zen, Regaw)

I have waited up to 20-25 mins before on black HTC screen, and still nothing with these versions (2.8 and 2.9), so I just have to pull battery and then reboot into recovery, wipe everything and reflash. Have tried deleting the zips and redownloading them in case they were bad DLs. About one out of 3 times the reflash works, other times I just get stuck into the black HTC bootloop again and have to repeat the process all over. If I'm lucky and a flash actually loads completely, it then will bootloop after just a regular power-off/power-on reboot. Sometimes it would show things in Dalvik debug, sometimes nothing....yet another weird thing to add to my troubles with this ROM. I gave up, wasn't worth the headache for me. :confused:

Well anyway, I guess that doesn't really answer your questions, but just know that you're not alone with the bootloops on this ROM. Keep checking back -- hopefully more posts and suggestions will help us :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mdawg112:
I am here to announce that Ic3rom will be no longer developed, and I would like to point you in a direction where I think most of the people who enjoyed Ic3rom should go, as I know some of you have already made the transition. I would like to encourage everyone who liked ic3rom to switch to Darchdroid it's amazing, it's the one and only 2.1 AOSP rom. So if you liked ic3rom, you will love darchdroid trust me. Sorry to everyone but I've been busy, and can no longer work on ic3rom right now. And no I did not switch to the evo! ( Yet) =]

I will leave all the download links up, for anyone to enjoy, or for anyone willing to build of off any of my releases, just be sure to credit me, and the people I have credited in my posts as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Thanks for all your hard work on this blazing-fast ROM, Mdawg. For the brief few days that I had it working on my phone, I really really really liked it. Might switch over to Darch like you have suggested. Best of luck with everything going on in your life :)

I've had thos ROM and worked great for a few hours than the phone froze so I pulled the battery and turned it on and it just keep going to the htc screen for awhile and go black then back to the screen and keep doing that. I tried wiping the factory setting and reloaded but did the same thing over again. Anyone have an idea whats wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
1. make sure you wipe dalvik

2. make sure you aren't overclocked to 768

3. make sure JIT isn't enabled in DConfig

4. go download Darchdroid 2.7 if none of these work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hero1992:
I tried to wipe dalvik but it told me error and run wipe dalvik through adb or something like that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
then you've got something deeper wrong. what recovery are you using?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hero1992:
I used the one through the thread on this forum.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
sorry man, don't know what to tell ya. try using darchstar/toast's Godspeed recovery. that's what i've been using for a long time
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Even though the recovery tells you that, it still does actually wipe your Dalvik. There's no need to run it through adb -- it's just an output error in that version of the recovery console.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] azr6:
Anything in this rom that isn't working properly? Wanna give it a try and just want to know before hand what I might be getting into.

Btw you guys using this with setcpu or overclockwidget? Also, how do I just get this theme on my phone? I like the way the top bar and bottom one look.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Best way to find that out is just to read back over the last few pages of posts here. It would be hard to sum up the things that people are finding (good or bad) in just a couple sentences, so I'd suggest reading back a few pages. You'll probably find enough info to help you make your decision.

This is what's called the AOSP style of the taskbar. AOSP themes are floating all over this forum. Here are a couple:

Ok I have went through and installed a newer recovery image and wipe everything. I flashed the ROM over and hit reboot. How long is it going to sit in one spot? Its been here for like 10 minutes now just saying HTC
[Hero CDMA Android Development] azr6:
Thank you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
That happened to me sometimes too. Try this:

Go and redownload the .zip you were using just in case it may have been a bad DL. Pull the battery, then put it back in and reboot to recovery. Wipe everything again (EVERYTHING, all those wipe options -- do them twice just to be sure :)), then put the new .zip on your SD card and reflash it. Sometimes this fixed it for me, sometimes it didn't. Sometimes I had to do this process twice before it finally booted through.

If that still doesn't work after a couple tries, do this: Plug your phone into the USB in your computer. Navigate to your C:\android-sdk-windows\tools folder (or whatever you named it) and double-click the file called ddms.bat. Look at the top left and click on your HERO (should show your serial #). Then reboot the phone normally and see what text/output shows up in the bottom window. Post back what that says if you are still stuck. Hope this helps.

anyway to do this using android commander (or anyway without adb?) 7zip and autosign? lol im linuxcommand illiterate, ill fail and brick. i can push and pull from android commander though, could i use that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Thanks Envy. I PM'ed flipz to see if he could help out. By the way, I'm starting to get into custom ROM making, and I just wanted to know if anyone could tell me if incorporating JIT into a flashable ROM is possible, or if JIT has to be added after the ROM is flashed... I only ask this because JIT requires some files to be chmodded.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Yes, you can use Android Commander. I actually use Android Commander most of the time simply because it's quicker than typing out commands.

To help you though, here are the commands I posted and what they do:

adb: tells the command line to use ADB to execute the consecutive command

shell: tells ADB to open a Linux terminal on your phone

remount: tells ADB to remount your phone in RW mode (readable/writable)

cd: used in a Linux terminal or Windows command line to tell the computer which directory to navigate to.

rm: used only in a Linux terminal to tell the terminal to delete a file.

exit: exit the Linux terminal.

It should also be noted that Linux terminals ARE CASE-SENSITIVE. rm cliCkEr.apk will not work, but rm Clicker.apk will.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mountaindont:
i found Clicker.apk in your ROM, but couldnt seem to find HTC_IME.apk so i just threw in the one from regaws. is this OK?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mountaindont:
yup that didnt work...installation aborted. im going to go ahead and cook it up via android commander. buut; HTC-IME is in system/apps/ in your rom, right? i cant seem to find it...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
That's OK. I'm assuming the creator of the ROM forgot to take out Clicker.apk when he finished up the ROM (because he removed the HTC keyboard and added the AOSP keyboard).

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
I'd like to know about this too. If I knew how to add them or even where the files that had bouncy menus was, I'd try my hand at adding them. If you can find me a ROM or theme that has them and where they are supposed to go, post it here and I'll try.

As far as JIT goes, I'm going to flash the DC ROM that this ROM is based off of and try enabling JIT on there. If it works on the DC ROM, then there is something JIT depends on that is missing in this ROM.
