[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
So I've been using enom roms for a while now without issue and I tried the other day to partition space on my SD to move the apps over. Using amon ra recovery I partitioned my SD with an ext 3 partition. The problem I got from there was that my phone started randomly rebooting. No rhyme or reason. Sometimes it took a day and sometimes it occurred every 5 minutes or so. The odd thing about this is it would even reboot in recovery.. which, as a separate environment is quite odd I think.

Anyway, earlier today I decided to reformat my card and remove the ext partition, then I reinstalled enoms Rom doing a full wipe. Since then it hasn't rebooted (though I still need to wait and see). Does anyone think it could have been a bad partition? Should I bother trying it again? Any ideas at all what could have caused this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
Problem not fixed. Any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
Things I've tried:

-Installing different ROMs including stock FRG83, CM6, MIUI, and Enom... still reboots, leaving it to be a hardware related issue I would think. Which I figured given the reboots occurring in recovery.

-Removed SD card. I've read reports saying that sometimes a corrupt SD card or SD card contacts could cause this. Removing didn't help. And the Android system and recovery can read the contents of my SD card just fine with it in.

-I have a new battery on order in case it's the battery, but it probably won't be here for a week or so, but this is the last hardware solution I can think of before having to call HTC and report a busted Nexus One, something I fear doing as I use the AT&T Nexus One, which we all know doesn't exist anymore, or if they do have some on reserve for warranty issues I hope they aren't the ones with SLCD screens. *sigh* Not entirely sure what will happen.

I don't think it's APP related as I haven't installed any new apps in a log time, aside from aLogcat (to see if I could see anything weird)... which I can't really see anything in the log, but I don't really know what to be looking for either. That and I've restored from Titanium Backup which my last backup was when my phone worked fine... so unless it's a market update for an app causing the issue. I guess I can test by running stock/no apps sometime.

I apologize for the rambling, just sort of keeping a log in case something in here helps someone else out down the road.

Thank you for your response britoso, I just got home from work and I ran the logcat, dmesg and bugreport (not sure if this one will help, but I figured it was more info either way) The .txt files are too big to upload for that file type so I uploaded them to my dropbox...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musashiken:
Yes! I'm actually having similar problems to yours. I just bought a new Kingmax 16gb Class 10 sd micro card (because it's cheaper than the branded ones) and I have problems with reboots and hangs whenever I use ext-partition with it. Copying files to and from the computer using a sd card reader is no problem but many roms keep hanging and crashing for me, especially when I'm trying to install apps from the market or restoring my backups with Titanium Backup.

Also even after full wiping thrice in recovery and installing a fresh rom, I keep getting crashes just after I turn on ext and dalvik to sd.

I have found a temporary solution which fixes my problems everytime I try a new rom. I have to manually reformat my sd card in a card reader with SD Formatter before I partition it with ext2-3 in recovery. Then flashing the rom will work (at least I think it works since I found no problems after a day's usage or so).

You can get SD Formatter here. http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/

Make sure to turn Flash Erase On and Resize on. It will full format the sd card and delete the ext partition for you.

I also made sure not to remove the card physically from the phone after the rom is up and running. Kinda sucks because the USB interface of the Nexus one is only 2mb/s. Using a card reader would fully maximize the speed of the Class 10 card during file transfers.

And I see that you are using AmonRa's recovery 1.8.0. I was also using this version as well. After some research, I found this http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Recovery_Images

Seems like v1.8.0 have some problems with wiping ext. I don't know if that has any connection but sounds plausible. Also there was once I had problems with repairing ext using this recovery, the repair actually lasted for an hour before I took out the battery out of impatience. Subsequent ext repair took only a min (which should be the case). So my guess is that there is something wrong with this recovery version (or my sd card..)

Well I finally flashed my current rom successfully after doing a full reformat but it gets tiring and I don't feel comfortable reformatting a sd card for so many times. Sometimes I think this card is rather wonky since my old Kingston Class 4 had zero problems with ext partitions. I hope not since it's a brand new card.

Anyway I hope this helps you. I just flashed the latest alpha build of AmonRa which supposedly removes the bugs in 1.8.0. But I'm not going to test it out until something goes wrong with my current rom.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
did your phone reboot while you got the log?

I see no signs of a reboot.

Only thing suspicions is

tps65023 is a voltage regulator connected to the i2c bus. Found that here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7748412&postcount=6

The VDD is the voltage to the CPU. Are you running a undervolted kernel ?

It will be good to get more opinions...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
It always seems to reboot when I'm not near a comp. It rebooted about 8 times during my shift at work but not on the way home or while I was getting the logs. I am running enoms standard kernel. I run setcpu to control it but I already ruled this out by removing setcpu for a day... reboots still occurred.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
@musashiken: that sounds painful and very harmful to your SD card. I envy your patience though lol.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mynameisjon:
Well I had the same problem a couple of months ago.

Never really found out what was wrong, but I figured the SD card was the problem so I bought a new one and no problems since then.

Maybe the SD card you have has bad sectors or whatever. Hope your problem gets fixed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musashiken:
Did you reformat your sd card with SD Formatter? You should try it if you haven't as it should clear any corrupted sectors in your ext.

Remember to backup whatever you need to your pc first.

It is an arduous task but it should at least rule out sd card problems.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
I see it starting up, but the error must have flown by before that.

Keep logcat running via usb and hope it crashes. you will likely see somethingng like this:

The 50-100 lines before this will show what caused the restart
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
I ruled SD out when I took it out and left it out but it still kept rebooting.

I'll try hooking it up after work tomorrow and leaving it on Usb with logcat running and see what goes on.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
So much for plugging it up after work today, my phone won't boot past the solid nexus 'X' boot screen, won't even go to the animation anymore. UGH!

[edit]This includes when I try to boot into recovery as well[/edit]

[edit2]Well after pulling the battery at least 30 times I got it to boot... running logcat now and i'll wait for it to reboot again[/edit2]
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
Ok, so ran logcat while phone was booting and waited for it to restart... I got no error message before the reboot... here is the logcat file...

logcat file:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9334051/logcat2.txt

My phone appears to be constantly refreshing the weather widget, which is normal, it's in my other logs as well. I didn't touch my phone or do anything with it after boot, just left it plugged in and off to the side. I was watching logcat keep looping the widget refresh and cache clear (at least I'm assuming that's what it's doing after the widget refresh) and my phone rebooted... yet no error message, or any other type of message occured. Terminal ended the session and my phone restarted.

I'm going to vote this is definitely a hardware related issue. I know it's not SD related as my SD card is removed from the device. My new battery is on it's way right now, should hopefully have it in the next day or 2, so I'll see if that fixes the issue. And if not, then it's time to call HTC... knowing I did everything I could to fix it myself. Though it should be fun trying to explain why I have a rooted device with custom recovery installed on my phone as I can't restore to stock (I don't have an unlocked bootloader) without risking bricking the device for good due to a reboot.

[edit]Just tried the same thing with kmsg and the result was the same... it kept showing the charge and temp of my phone in sequence, then phone rebooted and terminal session ended with no errors reported in kmsg[/edit]
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
Unfortunately you JUST missed the vital lines :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
What do you mean? The log cat was running from the moment I hit the power button to the moment it rebooted. After the reboot it just goes to the X screen without the animation and logcat doesn't recognize it so it ends the terminal session and I have to pull the battery to get it to reboot again. How did I miss the vital lines? I'm confused (I'm really not an idiot, I promise, just new to the whole android dev thing....lol)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
The fatal error happened just before the phone rebooted... Your logcat starts from when the phone came back from the crash.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
Yeah but the last logcat starts as the phone is booting but ends when the next reboot occurs... no error was thrown. It just ended and started over and the phone booted into the 'x ' boot screen again. But won't go to the animation. I just got my new battery today. We will see how this goes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
New battery didn't do anything. Called HTC today, they are sending me a box to send it in. They said they may or may not void my warranty because of being rooted with custom recovery, depends on what the issue is. I don't have it bootloader unlocked, but I can't restore it back to factory default recovery and ROM because my phone won't stay up for more than 5-10 minutes (even in recovery), so here's to hoping all goes well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
Curious Note: If I factory restore my Nexus and leave it on the screen where it you have to touch the android to begin and set up your phone it doesn't reboot... but if I go through that set up (whether using my data or not, i've tried both) it reboots immediately after the homescreen loads up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
Sent phone out 10/19, they received it 10/20, phone was repaired 10/21, arrived back in my hands on 10/25 (the 23rd and 24th were not business days). I'm guessing they replaced the motherboard as my phone is the same, even has the same serial number sticker under the battery, but when I connect via adb it comes up as a different serial number. Random reboots are gone though, so I'm happy!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmow:
I had this same problem btw, after getting my screen repaired. They replaced the mainboard and when it came back, I got random reboots when none appears before. They even sent me a replacement phone, which had the same problems (they send out refurbished phones). One thing I noticed is that when playing a game and charging the phone, it happens almost immediately.

[HD2 General] rancherrancher:
hi guys

i have the us model, t-mobile hd2 with original rom.

could someone tell me please if it is possible to change the left softkey "phone" button to a "lock" button, same as the left softkey on the start screen?

it might be like what is done here:

74. Add All Contacts to Home Screen Left Softkey

By default the left softkey on the the Sense home tab is coded to Phone which is pointless and a waste because you can get to the same Phone page by pressing the Send hardware key. Change it to the All People page (eliminating 2 taps) by using the following reg entry:

HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila

HomeLSKPath = !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page

HomeLSKText = Contacts

but instead of going to the contacts page it would preform lock.

does anyone know if this is possible and if so what reg. changes i would make?

thanks very much
[HD2 General] wergor:
maybe if you change the path to \Windows\DeviceLock.exe?

like this:

HomeLSKPath = !"\Windows\DeviceLock.exe"

HomeLSKText = Lock
[HD2 General] rancherrancher:
i had tried that and i got this error popup:

"The file 'DeviceLock' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its complenents cannot be found. You might need to reinstall

or restore this file."

thanks
[HD2 General] wergor:
does the file DeviceLock.exe exist in your windows folder? maybe it has a different name. alternatively, try this:

HomeLSKPath = !"\Windows\Lock.lnk"

edit: just tried it myself, it works ;)

DeviceLock.exe seems to be a ROM file (on my device it is), so this could cause that problem.

if that does not work, install BSBTweaks, in the "General" section activate "policies: allow unsigned apps". (<-- should not be necessary, as i am sure that all executables by microsoft are digitally signed ;) )
[HD2 General] rancherrancher:
thanks much for the ideas wergor

i do have the devicelock.exe, its lockdevice.exe on this phone.

i tried all combinations without any working. keep getting the error message.

im giving up.

thanks anyway

by the way, Graz looks fantastic.
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
hmmm....this shouldn't be such a problem...

1- have you tried (no ! or " " ):

HomeLSKPath =\Windows\DeviceLock.exe
HomeLSKText = Contacts

2- try this Lock.exe (extract the zip and place in the \Windows folder) -- totally safe; took it from Johcos' endkey and use it on my phone -- with the following:

HomeLSKPath =\Windows\Lock.exe
HomeLSKText = Contacts
[HD2 General] rancherrancher:
i have tried all, with nothing working.

i believe its time for a hard reset.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droum:
New phone, it's not an I9000, it's a Samsung Galaxy 3 (I5800), if this is the wrong forum, my apologies.

First days everything went fine, even with Kies in 2 PCs.

Things start going really wrong this morning when I connected the phone to the laptop, mass storage option selected, dragged notifier, unmount sdcard option was available.

Checked the laptop and I had no sdcard drive in explorer.

Updated Kies, tried the usb drivers available in this forum, nothing worked.

Backup of sdcard through an sdcard reader, format sdcard, and the end result is the same. Meanwhile during the morning, the notifier disappeared, I had no option to unmount the sdcard anymore. When I connect the usb cable to the pc, pc says "Hi", phone says "Bye" (both do a sound) and nothing happens.

Resuming, phone is rooted, XP on the laptop, Win7 on the PC, updated Kies, updated drivers, tried USB Debugging, keep-alive option, all usb options available beside mass-storage, changed back to TWLauncher, same result: Nothing.

When connecting the phone to a different usb port, windows installs 2 modem drivers and a Samsung USB Composite Device.

Part of the logfiles say:

E/MTPRx ( 9735): In MtpReceiverandroid.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED

E/MTPRX ( 9735): Battery charging. plugType = 1

E/MTPRx ( 9735): Not of USB charging. Dont lauch MTP APP

E/Setting ( 9810): Intent Action android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED

E/Setting ( 9810): Battery charging. plugType = 1

E/Setting ( 9810): AC charge

I'm sending the log in attach in case someone wants to have a look.

And now the questions:

- I still have 2 more days to replace the phone for a new one, do you think this is an hardware problem? Usb Cable?

- I will not be able to upgrade the firmware without a working usb connection correct ? Or is it possible to put the firmware file on the sdcard and upgrade it from there?

Thanks for the help.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charging rhinos:
Hi all, I hope you're not all tired of another noob posting up how-to questions. I come from a pretty solid background of writing modified firmware packages Motorola and Blackberry units, and writing custom themes for them both, so I am a bit familiar with the processes involved in rooting. Android is an entirely new beast though. I love it already, but I've also identified some things I'd love to be able to change. I've been reading everything I can in these forums for the past week, and I think I might be nearly ready to start diving into the root world. Yes, I've used the search a LOT ;) Before I do root though, I wonder if you all might be able to add some insight into a few questions I haven't found the answers to thus far:

My rooting goals: remove the AT&T bloatware, possibly do a lag fix, and above all, do it the safest way possible. Baby steps first for me.

1) Rooting methods: Should I do the manual way, I found in that pdf guide on this site, the "GalaxyS_One-Click_Root_All_Models.zip" method, the mystery "update.zip" folder method, or the "one click root lag fix" method? Which is the safest and most tried and true for Stock 2.1 f/w, Baseband I897UCJH7? Also, what would be the best method to use if I wanted later to unroot?

2) Lag fixes: I've read that lag fixes can cause major problems when trying to undo them later on. Is there a lag fix that works well that is safer than others to load that can be removed easily? Are lag fixes even worth it?

3) Odin3: Am I correct in assuming that since I have JH7 that the most recent version of Odin is not capable of fully restoring my phone back to stock? I've been seeing posts from many people say that even using Odin, their phones get stuck during the revert process and cannot get back to stock. This is probably my biggest concern of all, in case I brick my phone. I've done that a LOT of times with Motorolas, and it's not a bit of fun trying to restore them.

Thanks very much in advance. Best wishes to all
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
The first piece of advice I have is make sure you have a cappi that you can get into recovery and download modes via the button combinations - if you can do this then you will be able to recover to a working configuration from just about any situation.

second, make sure you want to do this, because as you can get back to a "stock configuration" once you begin applying lag fixes or custom roms you will not likely be ever able to get back to your own stock configuration.

As for which rooting method - I have used and update zip and ryanza OCLF to root. Both of these methods are easy to unroot - at least until you begin applying lag fixes and/or custom roms.

If you are sure you want to move forward and root the very first thing you should do after rooting before you do any lag fixes or remove any bloat is get clockwork rom manager. Learn how to use rom manager and make a full nandroid backup of your phone before you do anything. If you have a good nandroid backup saved in a safe location then you can use this to get back as close as possible as you can to your own stock configuration later on.

Oden3 will get you back to a stock jf6 configuration. This will not be your stock configuration, but it is a working stock configuration.

Lag fixes do improve the lag in the file system some. However, before you play with any of them educate yourself as much as you can about the particular one you are going to try and use. I have applied both OCLF and voodoo and have been able to remove both of them. But if you don't follow the steps correctly you can have problems - after all with the lag fixes you are reformatting part or all of your data partition where the os is residing which is inherently risky. You can easily lose data and even soft brick your phone forcing you to use Oden3 to get back to a working state.

Lastly, I am running Cognition 2.2 beta 5 very successfully - and I do recommend it for anyone that has entered the rabbit hole of modifying this phone. And with my current config my phone is running so well that the lag fix is not needed for me anyway. My phone is running smooth and fast.

P.S. Just make sure you are not going to have any major regrets if things go wrong before you do anything at all, because any and all of these steps have some amount of risk associated with them. Make sure you are prepared for dealing with voiding your warranty and even though it is hard to brick this phone, it could still happen so be ready for that too should it happen.
