Bootlooping after flash

I am also bootlooping after flashing 2.09.01, and just finished nandroiding (is that a verb?) back to 2.08.1 while I'm typing this. Hopefully that will come back up. Odd thing is that I did a wipe. Not the first time - I tried to just upgrade it first. But when that failed, I wiped full and still got bootlooped.

Don't know if this is helpful but every time I bootlooped I saw this in logcat:

I/SystemServer( 2099): Telephony Registry

I/SystemServer( 2099): Package Manager

I/Installer( 2099): connecting...

I/installd( 1785): new connection

Didn't know if it was significant that the last lines each time before the "new connection" message were the same.

Still a great ROM, and I'm still a big fan. I intend to buy damage and treve several beers sometime soon! Just thought I'd share the snippet above in case it's helpful.

Cheers,

Chris
[Hero CDMA Android Development] _sky.captain_:
Didn't intend for this to be a two-part post...

Just referred back to TrevE's instructions on how to break the bootloop. I did the "rm /data/data/com.damaged.DConfig/*.conf" but did not get rid of app-private. I can try that ... but since I did a full wipe (reset in clockworkmod recovery) will it even matter? Also, when it says to wipe dalvik ... how do I do that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rsoehelk:
Still cant get past htc bootscreen
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DominoDoug:
I'm in the same boat.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DominoDoug:
Make sure to wipe your sdcard ext. Doing this has fixed my boot loop problems with multiple roms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shivan187:
Just wiped dalvik... will try this next. As a side note, anyone know where exactly to copy nandroid folder to in sdk so I can test on my PC?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daviss:
same here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fog918:
ahhhh damn bootlooping
[Hero CDMA Android Development] icornwal:
I think I have everything up and running. Well almost. For some reason quick boot doesn't work. It asks for root access and I allowed it but it doesn't do anything passed that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rsoehelk:
i guess its cuz of ext 4 sigh.. i dont wanna partition my sd card again i just did it this morning
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roadster92:
For those of you getting boot loops... Try a full complete wipe:

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. Wipe Dalvik

3. Wipe Ext partition

Hope this help, I never get boot loop on any ROM that I tried with a full complete wipes.

:)

JIT issue:

For some reason JIT does not like the official sprint release.. Tried 5 times on this ROM (included manually remove apps, and enable JIT manually). I tried JIT on Fresh 2.1.2 also did not work. The farthest I got to is the vanilla lock screen then it will going to boot loop) Is this ROM compile with JIT?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shivan187:
Restoring my nandroid right now. May try again in a little bit.

Was hoping to do this without a wipe... don't have access to a good app for backing up all my text messages, and for some reason I have like 20% of my contacts duplicated as phone and google contacts. Also, am I correct in assuming that my pics/mp3s/etc won't be touched by the factory reset?

(n00b question I know, I just want to make absolutely sure.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fog918:
roadster92

thank you

it work:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattcoz:
Alright, so I'm getting a boot loop so I followed the instructions.

When I try this I get:

rm: cannot remove '/data/app-private': No such file or directory

:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] balistc:
Working good with the 710 OC!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roadster92:
Hopefully all your MP3,pics are on your SD card (FAT32). If it is then in that case they are still there. Just DON'T partition your card.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roadster92:
For Apps back up, you can use Titanium back up from the market on your phone or used Android Commander from your PC (ttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=597098). For SMS, why don't you use SMS back up and restore in market (this will store and back up all your SMS to the google email account)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shivan187:
WOW! Really really weird side-effect of restoring nandroid... try to make a phone call and zip... zilch... zero. Shows that I have at least one bar of signal, and I can see my wifi network, just can't make a call. I dial and hit call, but nothing... trying a second reboot to see what that does.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
Everything seems to work good so far. I have to do mutlitple re-boots to get my 3g working. I've also had to delete the data from sense a few times to get the Widgets back but sometimes after all is well if I reboot it messes up again and I have to do it all over..

How do I remove stock apps I dont want now? When I try to it says its a read only file system...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] balistc:
I'm using JiSurfChi's fixed lock screen by disabling htc lock screen in dconfig. Wondering if the menu button can be stopped from unlocking the screen when double pressed?? Thanks.

Does anyone have a working footprints.apk for this ROM? The one posted on page 255-256 doesn't show up in the app tray or widget tray :-(

I hate to say this; but I think this bun might need a little more time in the oven. I will give the odexed version a shot when it gets here; but for now, I am nandroiding back to 2.08.1. Have a good night, everyone.

Sync Issues Again

Anyone else having the sync icon staying on after rebooting in 2.09.1? It's in my task bar. Go into Accounts / Sync via settings and nothing is syncing, but it gives me the cancel sync option, which I do and the icon goes away. I know we were having problems with this in the last builds. I do not having Facebook syncing, nor weather. Only accounts syncing are the Google accounts, which are not actively syncing when icon is present.

Might be nandroiding back to 2.08.1. I was getting 12-14 hrs of battery life out of it. This sync issue makes we wonder about the battery drain on this build.

Any thoughts on it would be great, thx
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adfinter:
Having issues as well. I can get 2.09.01 to load up, but if I try to enable JIT, it goes into a bootloop when I restart. I see that a lot of people have this issue, so I'm in the same boat hoping for an answer. Also, when I try to flash the DC overclocked kernel, it never gets passed the initial HTC screen. I've tried all three, and each one causes the same issue. I let the phone sit on the HTC screen for a half hour each time, and no progress. Any ideas?:confused:

This ROM doesn't work...keep getting the constant rebooting even after wiping everything.

Back to Fresh ROM for me until this is properly released.

Follow the instructions here if you are rebooting from upgrade, this fixes it:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6742220&postcount=5630

But: I thought this was based on the latest official RUU from Sprint?

On that, you can access the other HTC widgets, and they finally got rid of that annoying bug where when you press menu twice to unlock, the settings and etc. screen popped up. I was looking forward to having that fixed on damagecontrol...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Master K:
Awesome update

There are a lot of complaints so I thought i would post my experience tonight.

I First flashed over 2.08.01 without reading the info fully, needless to say I got a bootloop. I suspect many that are having the problem have not read the post from TrevE at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6742220&postcount=5630

He really should ask Damageless to add that link to the first post where the link to the ROM is.

In any event after I got the Boot loop I went right to doing a wipe of data, dalvik and sd-ext (NOT the whole SD card, just the EXT partition). I then reflashed the rom and it worked like a charm. I had to clear sense data to get all the sense widgets to work but that is pretty common and I just do it by habit when flashing now. After that the rom worked like a champ. I let it fully sync all 400+ of my contacts and Facebook stuff before I started installing apps and that happened quickly and with no errors. I use Titanium backup, so I went into it and used the batch to restore missing apps with data (making sure to not let it install like 3 things that were really system apps that were outdated.) Be careful not to simply do a full restore with Titanium backup, some system apks might get overwritten.

After that I rebooted, confirmed everything was working well and then did a new full backup and Nandroid+ext backup.

Then started the themes. I used metamorph to install and AOSP white taskbar, a clear lock screen and to remap the Rosie buttons (Phone button on left, People on right and app tray in the center) all of this went very smoothly and the phone has been stable as hell all night.

When all of that was done I used DCConfig to use Apps2SD and set some other options. I have not done JIT since so many posts say it does not work. I have never had good luck with JIT anyway so that is fine for me.

In summary I feel this version of DamageControl is much more stable than the last. I am quite happy. Thanks to Damageless and TrevE and all the others who contributed in some way to this rom!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattcoz:
I tried following the instructions, can't get past step 1. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Heh. worse than that for me. I got the battery widget downloaded. It's stuck on 'installing'. if I go back into 'get more htc widgets' and select 'battery' it says 'installing'. There's a 'cancel download' button, but I can't tap it. Even after a reboot it's stuck on 'installing'.

So basically I'm betting 'more htc widgets' just plain aren't going to work. Otherwise I haven't seen anything goofy.

People with problems with the other HTC widgets: Go to applications, manage applications, clear htc sense data. That usually brings them back. I did notice that once on a reboot I lost the htc widgets again. If that happens again I'll be nandroiding back to Fresh. No way I feel like redoing Sense every time I reboot :)

Edit: One more annoyance I just found: I have to manually start bluetooth every boot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] METHOD1911:
back to 2.08

had many problems with widgets not showing up after i cleared the sense data even pushed the adb :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Whatever happened to the odexed version? TrevE was uploading last night (slowly) but I can't imagine it being this slow.

seems fast but I keep getting random reboots

masterk can you provide a link to what apk you used to remap the Rosie buttons (Phone button on left, People on right and app tray in the center)

Thanks, this fixed not being able to reboot from Term and from Quick Boot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
i'm just updating via DC. currently at:

Deleting Files... (third time, like yours)

but i do not get install complete. and my android system recovery screen has come back. weird. this happened to me last night, tried to reboot, & never got past the black htc screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dcchristopher:
I haven't installed DC 2.09.01 yet so I can't say that the clock/alarm DOES work but in the past when it didn't work for me it was because I had to disable and re-enable my alarm(s). You can often tell by the little alarm icon in the notification bar. It will reappear when it's re-set and will stay there. If it disappears (it happens if you kill the Clock process), you better hope you have "flextime" at work!

I hope I was able to help. As an aside, the best way to wake up is when your brain and body are good and ready to do so. Go to sleep early and wake up on your own. Your internal clock will wake you up. If you heavily depend on the alarm it means you're not getting enough sleep.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Nope, tried every combo of banning I could think of, even manually removing files through adb. I'm pretty noobish so I'm sure there's more I COULD do, but I'm out of ideas to get JIT going. :(

I was really anticipating it too, cuz with the new customizability features it looks like it could be even faster. Anyone with a stroke of genius that figures it out, please share!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hfdsocko92:
I am experiencing the same problem. At first I noticed it was hanging on Facebook live feed sync, but I removed and re-added facebook sync and it solved that problem. However now I am still seeing the constant sync icon in the task bar, but nothing in my accounts/sync is showing actively syncing, but the cancel sync button is present just as described.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
All important things are working well here, including the Damage710 / Toast OC kernel. Two mods I use were lost:

1. JsChiSurf vanilla lockscreen with wallpaper and no text and no clock does not work.

2. Clear weather widgets - after flashing I lost the weather widgets altogether, even after clearing the Sense defaults. To get them back I just reflashed 2.09.1 (and Damage710) without wiping anything.

Please let me know if anyone gets either of these two mods to work on 2.09.1.

The only things I've found that are a little off are the locale settings in the Android clock weather - ie, the degrees on the main clock view remain in Celsius no matter what I select and in the weather portion of the clock the wind speed remains in KM/hr although degrees are shown correctly per the settings.

All-in-all, very nice job once again to Damage and Treve!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Moguledyouth:
My Experience

I downloaded 2.09.01 off the first page this morning, after doing a nandroid I factory wiped including Ext. flashed 2.09.01 and have had no issues, booted fine, no loops, after setting up the routine things like gmail account etc. I rebooted into recovery and attempted flashing the 710mhz OC'd kernel for Damage Roms, rebooted and everything is still working perfectly and OC'd goodness.

The one issue that I have noticed, is that DCUpdater has no themes, updates etc, is there a different repo I have to add in order to get them or is it a complication of the new RUU frameworks etc...?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fog918:
i saw the same thing no themes but yesterday some where there..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ghuqu:
I remember reading something a little while back about themes, someone is going to send them up. I agree with you, I hate seeing stock too. Can't wait till they are in the DCupdater
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
There was a note from Treve stating that the mods all require changes to work with the new ROM - so I would guess that the DCUpdater link won't show them again until they are refreshed. If Treve is going to do all of the changes to the mods in addition to paying attention to any bugs reported here - I'd guess that the mods will have a lower priority ...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ghuqu:
Spoke too soon, there are Themes in DCUpdate
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fog918:
well so far the update is great and fast

just .... hate being stock ....

[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
So everyone is wiping? Id rather do an upgrade to perserve all my crap. Guess not though huh?

So your supposed to wipe everything and do a fac reset? Should I backup my SD card? What about apps2sd? Wiping will blow all that out.

Crap this sucks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
as far as sd, just wipe the SD:ext, not the whole card. but backup your sd card just in case!

i rebooted my phone after installing some stuff & got stuck in the loop. it was due to not wiping the sd:ext. working fine now (i think?!)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pyropup55:
ok so I take back my previous post. I can't seem to get the market to work. I'll open it and it'll close with out any warning and I can't get the friendstream widget at all, the app is still there but no widget. Any ideas?

**edit** scratch the prob with the market, a reboot fixed that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
I tried to just do an update, but ended up in the bootloop. I tried to follow Trev's directions to fix the bootloop, but it just got a little to confusing (and was still bootlooping anyway). So I ended up wiping everything and doing a new flash. Works great now. It took me about 20-30 minutes to get it set up to my liking and download all my apps again. Not too bad really.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vidsid:
As much of a noob as I am, I had NO trouble at all with this ROM. It's awesome!!

I had been using FreshRom but was never able to get the FreshToast OC version working.

I did factory wipe, davlic, and ext3. Loaded the zip. Booted up...rebooted to get wireless working and everything was great. Used the market to download titanium backup and restored a couple of apps then downloaded the OC kernel.

Applied it, rebooted, downloaded OC widget, set it, and not a single problem with anything.

Great work guys. I'll be donating.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Moguledyouth:
One more thing I have come across, I don't believe Apps2SD is working, now I can't be 100% on whether it's the rom or the OC'd kernel I installed, but when I use Root Explorer to wipe out some of the crap from /system/app I decided to check /data/app and it does not display the correct amount of free space I should have if Apps2SD was working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] balistc:
It's working here, with the 710 OC. 142mb available space.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aisseleacim03:
Here is my experience so far.

Installed the ROM last night. It took its time to boot but it came through (funny though how it stays in the NOW screen like for 5 minutes).

Market seems to work fine. Downloaded Titanium and got my apps back and immediately got messages that some of my apps had updates available.;)

All widgets seem to be there, at least the ones I remember. Press download more HTC widgets and a new screen with options appeared. Progress from previous ROM where I never got anything back just an unable to download widgets message

Click on battery widget a screen with option to download appears. Click download, it goes through the motions, it downloads but then...it never gets installed. So I am in the same boat as other people there. Tried clearing HTC sense data to see if the Battery widget appeared...but no luck.

Overall performance, it seems to lagg sometimes. I have not OC it or installed OC widget to push it to the top yet so I dont know if that would make a difference.

When clicking on my contacts, the picture turns green for a sec and then comes back.

Some of my facebook contacts work well, some others dont. Their picture albums dont load up and their status doesnt update. It is weird as in it is random..contacts that start with C or with L (different than before 2.08.1 when contacts stopped synching passed an specific letter).

Also facebook related, the calendar seems not to synch well either. i see it in theoptions of calendars to choose and it is selected but nothing pops up.

A couple of times the superuser app has just appeared and disapeerared on its own, not related to anything (i think I was actually looking at my contacts)

Battery seems to run warm with regular use and if I go to tether then it runs up high quick to 42-45 degrees / 109-111.

Now a question...Internal storage says total 160 and only 27mb free. If I delete some of the stock apps it should get better right?

What is the difference with system storage Total 170mb free 28mb. How do I go about clearing some of that?

There you go...:o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
pretty sure my apps2sd isn't working. i did my wipe messed up initially, i think:

wipe dalvik

wipe data

flashed rom

got stuck in boot

wiped sd:ext

checked my phone storage & i was at 52.79 free.

i'm redoing everything in this order

wipe sd:ext

wipe dalvik

wipe data

flash

They only issue I have found is that Titanium Backup does not want Restore Wireless Tether or Quickboot. I downloaded quickboot from the Market but it doesnt work. This has happened to me before with Fresh and it was one of the main reasons I switched to DC Roms. Now it doesnt work out of the box. Can someone lead me to the workaround for Quickboot. Last time it took me about 2 hours to find it. Im at work and dont have much time to read all the posts.

Thanks in advance.

I sure hope you are trying to be funny cause these guys work hard and do not expect anything in return.
