Hey people.
I'm just looking to findout how many of us have the issue of bootlooping (splash screen) overclock kernel is installed...?
I have seen at least 10 ppl on here - please post so it gets known how many we are.
I have tried formatting SD-card w both HP-formatter and Panasonic SD Formatter - neither helped -
I have Cleared Dalvik, Wiped Cache, Wiped to Factory Settings - and redone it over and over.
Nothing helps. Bootloop. As soon as i reflash Froyo kernel official (0050 on WildPuzzle Rom) everything works perfectly.
I have ruled out that the problem would be in SD-card. I have tried three diff cards of various brands and sizes - and also tried without SD-Card. All resulting in Bootloop when OC is flashed.
ADB won't let me get a logcat - as it don't find a device connected - or - as in the latest v5 OC kernel, says Device is offline.
How many - and who - has this issue - There has gotta be something we can do? POST to show the devs you exist please.
I have the same problem too. I've just installed new roms and also kernels. Nothing happened. My wildfire won't boot-up
I understand your frustration guys, really.
Unfortunately though, it is hard for me to be able to fix it without any logs, and I don't have time to play around with potential causes at the moment.
Hope you guys understand
We so do.
But is there noway to get a log w-o booting past splash?

Here's a question to everyone who cant boot OC - what color is your phone?
the 2 i gave physically encountered that have the problem are both red...?
I solved my bootloop by simply removing my SD-card and then booting. :O Format didnt work forme neither.
try it out
I have - made no difference. As i said before - there is no way that the issue is with the sd-card... I have tried everything regarding that. Results are the very same with - or without sd-card...
But thanks for trying to help...
danne_jo - adeadrat? any of you two live anywhere near stockholm..? if yes i could meet either of you and you can see the issue 1st hand..? maybe you can dig out a log somehow?
worst case scenario (i am desperate yes) maybe i can mail my phone to you jacob and you send it back in two weeks or so? (can't believe i'm saying this)

Perhaps you can get the logcat via adb when in recovery?

There's a kernel debug message system too, although I'm not sure if it'd work if adb doesn't

I don't want you to mail me your phone. I'll help out where I can, but if you send your phone to me and it gets lost in the post or I accidentally kill it, I'll feel really bad so I'd rather you didn't :/
hehe, no im not living close to stockholm, and sorry I can help out either
I had the bootlooping too, but that was untill i used the Remove HTC apps puzzle piece, maybe it's sense / rosie thats causing the issue, i'll try my best to look into it.
Been stupidly busy as of late, haven't had time to even work on my own rom lol, peace yall
So how would I get to that..? Everything is worth a try..

Curious but which version of the touch screen do you have?
You can find out by pressing the Vol Down button and Power button at the sam time when turning on the wildfire.
A Load of txt will come up, Will tell you if you have the Atmel or not.
Could be that as I know the PSFreedom guys are having issues with the other type of touch panel.

I have the same problem.
My touch panel is ATMELC03_16ac.
I too have the atmel, and I have no issues, although I have gone back to the non OC kernel as it seams more stable. I had a few force closes on a few apps...allllll the time, double twist mainly lol.
Ummm confusing one this..

So before anything this is what I have.
SPL: Danger SPL
MOD:Cyanogen 4.0.4
RADIO: latest
THEME: CyanogenMod-4.0.4-CustomV7 by: Z҉A҉L҉G҉O
So what happened was after I installed this theme everything was running smoothly. My phone was low on battery so I pluged in my Charger. After being on the phone while charging for 30 - 60 minutes my touch stopped working, so I turned it off and on thinking it'll fix the problem and it didn't.
I leave it alone hoping the touch will comeback the the next morning and it didn't. So I wiped and reinstalled CyanogenMOD 4.0.4 hoping that'll do the trick and it juat made things worse.
Now I'm stuck a the "Tap the Android Screen To Begin" and I can't tap it because my touch isn't working.
Is there any way to fix this or just skip that screen?
I need to ge4t back to my gf or all hell is going to break loose.
You could restore your nandroid backup (you have one, dont you?) to get past the tap-the-android screen, or USB/adb kill the process.
Sounds like your digitizer is dead or disconnected. You might need to perform surgery.

Anytime you put a device in a freeze, or fridge, there will be condensation on the device. It will then create rust, or short things out. So it could 100% be because of your little "trick".

Exactly, why would you think it's a good idea to put your phone in the fridge?!
THIS ENTIRE THING HAPPENED BEFORE I PUT MY PHONE IN THE FRIDGE.
Can someone just help me skip the initial process, or just teach me how change the Cyanogen image at the beginning to the original android image.
stop!!! i had this issue were you using a custom user.conf?
i messed up something on mine and phone would lock up nothing at all would happen i was cm 4.11.1 but i had just switch from xrom so went back to and went away but it bothered me so i rent back to rc29 then had more issues up graded to cupcake did one click root and all is good.

I kinda don't know what that is.
from the beginning:
I had the hard SPL and wanted the custom V7 them cyan 4.0.4 so I installed Danger.
Then installed the theme, and once I plugged my charger in my touch stopped working so I tried turning it off and on to fix it and it still wasn't working.
So i tried to wipe and reinstall 4.0.4 and got stuck into "tap android screen"
Now I'm back to the hard SPL but I still get stuck at the beginning.
I'm going to send it in, because I think it's a hardware issue not a software issue.
user.conf and userinit.sh and files you push to your ext to tell the ROM what CompCache/Swap settings to use. If you don't know what it is then it's clearly not causing the problem.
So I should jusr send it in?

Are you useing the one that came from tmobile? If its hard to find there a guy that has I like in his sig ill try and find it for u if u can't.
Im getting this error and force close on one of my Heros when I try installing any of my apps on any of the 2.1 roms. Im coming from Fresh 1.1 and following the same procedure I used on my other Hero on which the market is fully functional. Ive wiped everything over and over and cleared data on anything that looked like it at to do with the market. I also tried fix apk mismatches from recovery. Short of RUU which Id like to avoid if at all possible Ive tried everything else I can think of. In searching I have come across this error code on other android phones, but nothing on the hero and nothing specific to trying to install apps. So has anyone else seen this? And would RUU do anything a full data wipe didnt already?
Reading instructions has its benefits grasshopper...
Download the latest recovery and throw it onto your SD Card, boot into the old version of recovery and flash the new recovery as a .zip update, reboot into recovery again and then wipe your phone again, then install android 2.1, don't reboot yet, make sure your rom either has it's own custom kernal or download one for 2.1 and flash it, open up adb and clear dalvik cache and boot cache, then reboot your phone and you should load without any problems.
Thanks. But I did that from the get go. Aside from flashing a kernal, but Im running Darchtrev2 on the fully functional Hero that I mentioned and thats got a custum kernal built into the rom. So thats what I started with on the second one using the exact same process without success. Does wiping from adb do more than wiping from recovery? Thats one other thing I didnt do after the initial install.... But do understand you correctly that you have seen this specific error before?
Just bumpin the tread in hopes of finding a solution. I dont even mind gettin flamed for asking a stupid question if I could get linked up with a fix! lol I see its getting views, just no ideas I guess... It sucks cuz everything else works fine except the market. I get the list of my downloads, when I tap on one to install I the download button instead of the install button, so Ill tap on it and I get get the progress bar saying its downloading. When it gets to 100% I get the error and force close... Anyone?
I would try wiping again then flashing fresh 1.1 see if that boots and everything works ok then I would redownload the recovery and flash that still running fresh then reboot make sure everyhting is cool, then redownload whatever 2.1 rom you want and wipe and flash.
doing this serves 2 purposes
1. make sure that somewhere along the line none of the files corupted
2. if you still have the same problem then it will let you know where the problem is coming from.
just process of elimination
if you still have problems after that then I would say RUU, yes it is different than just wiping from recovery as it restores a completely stock image and gets rid of everything else. all a data wipe really does is get rid of user data.
just my opinion.
honestley thinnking about it I RUU'd my phone just for giggles then I re-rooted and then flashed DCv1 right from stock and I found that a lot of the little bugs that people where seeing I wasnt so it may not be a bad idea to ruu anyways.
Thanks for the reply and for giving me something different to try. I hadnt thought about trying that. Frustration I guess! It makes sense though. Ill give it shot. Thanks!
Why not see why it fc'd?
Adb with logcat of ...vending....
Find the syntax here: http://developer.android.com/search.html
Just an idea. It may or maynot give you the insight to fix the cause ( like a parameter ...vending... is null fetching on ).
Yeah, Ive been thinking about RUU'n too just to see if making a fresh start would make any difference, but after all the time I spent getting the one Hero working like I want on 2.1 and the troubles Ive had with the second and what Ive read about people bricking trying to RUU or flash recovery Ive been kinda hesitant....

Sometimes it's just fun to RUU and do everything again
Alright if you're still having problems then just follow these steps:
Boot into recovery and make a nandroid back up just in case something goes wrong.
Download the latest version of your current 2.1 rom and reflash it from Recovery.
Open up adb and mount the /data directory (adb shell, mount /data)
Enter the following two commands in adb: rm -r /data/boot-cache , rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
Go Back to ADB and type the following commands: cd /data/data/com.android.vending , rm -R cache
Fix UID Mismatches using the tool in Recovery and then reboot your phone

The latest RUU? I used the 1.56..... I did get it working tho. Flashed the mms. fix zip. Just wasn't expecting to have to as I didn't with my other hero. Don't know what the difference is between the two devices. Both are google branded, but the second one fought me every step of the way.

It looks like something's messed up from using the font changer and that a wipe is necessary. However there's a chance that you won't lose the pictures. Photos taken by the camera apps are stored in the memory card in the DCIM folder, so before panicking you might want to look for them on the memory card.
Hope it helps.

My bad, Half asleep lol.
bare in mind that some fonts are not supported by your phone so in case that you have flashed them alread, then your phone won't boot up. I don't have the exact solution for it but in the font section you may find better answers.
Hope to solve your problem soon.
ive not said that the phone sucks, i merely said that my phone was stuck! i love my new phone.
thanks
thanks for all your responses, i'm a newbie at this rooting thing, it all seemed to go straight forward and according to the instructions, until, i went into messaging to send a message using the new font. but it wasnt there. so i went into the fonts part to find one and pressed it and then i think at this stage the phone rebooted to take affect. been stuck ever since. i'll go try the font section now to see if i can get some advice there too. thanks again

The chances are you will have to reflash, I've done it myself with an incompatible font and had to reflash to sort it.

hi, if i have to do this re flash thing, does that mean all the apps i downloaded etc will be gone? is there anyway of accessing the phone in this state to get the stuff off it?

Some have said the repair method keeps them, but when I flash I do it fully so couldn't answer that question.
First of all you have to reflash your phone, root it again, install SuperUser and busybox then you are able to change the font(s)

Don't worry about the pics. Your apps may be a different story.
Flashing your phone is easy and there are many pages to reference. Just go to the android dev section.

Do you have PC Companion installed?
on the phone or on the laptop?i don';t thinki have it on either
Poor post.....
All apps, free or purchased should be logged by your gmail account so you should not have to re-purchase anything. Also, first start of market after a re-flash should show you all apps last installed on you phone in the downloaded section, but only once! So best be at a wifi network for fastest re-download. I am fairly certain of this but please correct me if i'm wrong, dont wanna be fooling anyone. One other thing i recall reading is, if pressing (and maby holding) volume down right after the buzz when powering on, should get you into fail safe mode. Maby you can jot down you apps or even repair the damage from there. Hope any of this helps. Good luck!

Afternoon all!
I would REALLY like to completely wipe my phone and SD and start all over from scratch. I'm rooted, and I've tried WAY too many codes/flashes/apps that I'm sure embedded code in my system that causes some of the errors I get now. I've been told that if I wipe the SD, it'll properly reset, but I've also read of problems after wipe. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a fool proof way to start all the way over for a brand new phone feel. I'll un/re-root if necessary.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
IP IHI II IL
I remember last time having this idea on a random day feeling that my phone was too much, I decided to go to my sd card on my phone from my PC and deleted every folder there WHICH IS NOT GOOD AT ALL, so I'd suggest you wait for someone who knows or can tell you how to properly start over fresh on your new phone.
impatient, but not stoopid!
yeah, I was thinking of goin' rogue and just randomly deleting crap, but my better side made me hold off... I DID get impatient, though and try a suggestion from the Virus forums. I ran the format SD from the phone, then replaced all my ROM zips, and rebooted to recovery first wiping everything 2-3 times, then re flashing Virus ROM 4.X, and my favorite functions/kernel/radios/font... So far so good, though I still would REALLY like to start all the way from scratch. There were some settings embedded into the phone it seems, as I still have my custom splash, even before flashing again... For now, I guess I'm ok with a semi-clean slate, but would still like to know whether or not I can completely start from scratch...
Thanks for the reply, alekosy!

ITS GETTING ANNOYING!!,, The internet wont work, The market wont load and if im lucky i might be able to download an app,, Some of my widgets say "problem loading" I have to trash them and reload,, Some apps tend to force close,, And also the delay after turn on the screen is bout 2sec or so..

I would say to do a full wipe (cache, dalvik cache, data, and reset to factory setting) and reflash the rom & kernel combo of your choice. Also update your radios to the latest and then update your profile under menu\settings\system updates. This should get the phone up and running better and stop the need for constant reboots. As for the widgets saying "problem loading", I get that as well and I think it is due to moving the widgets in question to your sd card. If you put them back on the internal memory of the phone that shouldnt happen anymore. If you are worried about taking up to much internal memory with widgets just set up the aps2sd and you will be able to put more of your apps on the partioned portion of your sd card and save more internal memory. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope this helps. I would like to save your EVO and not make it a chew toy for anyone!
I agree with adam, try a complete wipe, even flash calkulin's format all.zip (search for it) and flash the latest radios and re flash cyanogen. You'd be amazed at what horrors can come from not wiping the dalvik and cache. Speaking of which, try out amon ra recovery if you already haven't.

I agree with Adam1422. It sounds like you need to do a full wipe and clean install. Do not use Titanium/Launcher/ADW/anyotherprogram backups. Save files like pictures, music, documents off your SD and format the card. Do not reuse settings or data from programs. Go into it like you just bought the phone. That will probably clear up all of your issues.
Are u using any custom kernels. Could be a more have or less have issue

Not if you do your due diligence, read up on how to do it and then perform the steps carefully without rushing. We were all n00bs once, my friend. Sure there's some tension when rooting for the first time, but there's one hell of a rush when it works. You'll be fine.

Try to explain that to a 9 month old hahahah.. hes going to be a geek he dont like toys just electronics! lol
Not that I can think of, man. Good luck. Come back if you need help.
you are in the right forum to fix your phone...
it is not the phone.. but I agree with others.. you need a fresh setup done.
or even try a different ROM...
the hard part has been done for you.. ROOTing...
you need to go learn about the ROM you like... and how to install it.
learn about: wipe, recovery, nandroid backup, ROM, ...
this needs to be learned anyways for your life with EVO, because you wanted it rooted.
ps.. to fix this.. you are going to loose all your data and put your phone almost back to stock form. dont worry.. contacts and calendar should be backed up to google if you told evo to do so.

Where can i direction to do the procedure?? whats the first step??
here is a good place to start reading:
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies.html
I would like for you to try a new ROM... that is Sense ... so that you are able to use it more to what the EVO was.
this ROM is stable and has everything working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471
once you have done one Flashing of a ROM.. and working..
you can easily do others as you find interest in them.
more side reading for afterwards:
there is the rooting procedure that I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
since you are already rooted.. this not needed.
but you should read the first page.. for your knowledge
here is the main forum for evo on xda.. for development. lots for you to research on new things for evo:

I have a 3 year old and a 5 month old. The 3 year old is a geek, but she only gets to touch my Evo when in airplane mode. Remember who's the parent and who's the child.

Definitely make sure before you go flashing ROMs and stuff you do a nandroid backup.
Step-by-step instructions for how to do this, plus flash ROMs and stuff, can be found here:
http://htcevorooting.x10.mx/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
Ask your friend what method he used to root your phone, plus check which recovery manager you're using (reboot your phone into recovery, it should say which manager it is. If you're still running CyanogenMod there should be an option to do this if you choose reboot instead of shutdown when holding the power button.)
