Just upgraded to latest firmware via my a70it. It rebooted. Now stuck... - Gen8 General

At the archos boot screen for almost 30 min. I never rooted btw. Did something go wrong? Is that normal? Feedback appreciated.

Yes, it does happen that sometimes at 1st boot after flashing a firmware it gets stuck but a reset gets it working again

TWRP: Crashes restoring or wiping /data

Hi all,
Issue with TWRP and restore. I've got a backup, but when I tried to restore it, it would crash and reboot while restoring the /data partition. I try wiping the /data partition (I have my backup on a server, too) and it crashes midway through that, too. Just reboots and returns to TWRP.
What should I do?
Thanks,
Ben
Wipe cache, dalvik cache, fix permissions, then restore.

Tried that, no luck
I'm currently restoring the factory 4.2.2, then installing TWRP and adb'ing the files back over to try restoring again. Hopefully this works.
Thanks,

This issue is mentioned over in the official TWRP forum under "Original Android Development" The Dev acknowledged it, saying he needs to fiddle with it... Might not be bad if you poked your head in there with any other information you could add...
*fingers crossed* Hope they get it patched up soon... I'm a little restore shy now. Up until I encountered this, I was swapping ROMs on a nearly daily basis... No anymore.
I started over again, like you, and it works ok now. But I don't know when/if the problem will rear its ugly head again, so holding off until I hear more.

I'm having the same problem with 2.5.5.0. Happens probably 30% of the time and always during the data restore. It completes on the second go-round, but I'm constantly holding my breath. I was under the impression that this was taken care of in this latest version.

I had that happen a lot, I just 2.3.3.0 now and it is perfect.

Ain't it the truth.
So I just tried doing the same with my phone and the installation failed, something about illegal instruction. I'm running CM 10.1 on an unlocked, S-OFF HTC Vivid.
Any ideas?

Are you using Rom toolbox? If not, you aren't trying to flash the manta version are you?

No, I tried with RomToolbox, same method as with the N10. I choose 2.3.3 0 from the list, so I assume it was the Holiday version. The first time I tried, it claimed I didn't have permission, but I think that was because it was the first time I was using Rom toolbox since flashing CM so the permission popup came after the fact. I rebooted and that was when the message changed to invalid instruction.
Edit: Tried again with 2.4.1.0. Same result. But I located the files and they are holiday, so I can just flash with fastboot, I guess.

Stupid 4.3 ota failed!

My N10 is rooted but with a stock ROM. Earlier on it said that there was an update (4.3) and it downloaded it, re booted and then came up with an error saying 'no command' while displaying the small pic of the Android. It sat there for 10 mins and then eventually booted back into the OS. When I checked the version, it was back to 4.2.2.
Now when I check for an update, it says that there's no update available.
What do I do?

Are you on stock recovery? Barring that, clear Google Framework data and try again maybe?
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
That message is okay. Nothing is wrong with your tablet, other than the fact that the update didn't take. Do as the above poster said, or manually install the OTA.

Why not try to check again for the OTA? No worries dude... That's not an unusual thing to happen . Also you can try doing what the other two said ,)

Thanks guys. I cleared Google Framework Data and the download started again and failed again. This time, all it said was "error"!
I really don't want to zero the tablet again and lose all my data by doing the update manually. Is there any way to avoid that?
Also is there anything great about 4.3 that makes the update worth doing?

Its probably because your tablet is rooted. Try unrooting and then doing the update.

Yeah, I thought that was it too so I unrooted and tried again. It's still the same.
I really don't want to do a factory reset and manually update the bloody thing - I'll lose all my stuff!
Called Google support and sent them pictures of the Android screen (they asked for them!) and apparently they're investigating...

You can manually update without performing a factory reset by just pushing boot and system, although you need to know what can go wrong before you try.
Same issue, rooted and custom recovery.
But if they are investigation, maybe I won't remove the custom recovery, too much work.
I got the 'error' screen too. pressed power and volume and it told me that build.prop failed the file check, pulled an fresh copy out of the old factory image, copied it to my n10 and tried the OTA again. All went ok, now on 4.3
Same error!!
Already did a factory reset and still have the error
Same problem here. Rooted on stock. Keep going to Recovery, then errors when trying to apply the 'untrusted' update, as it states.
Same problem here....rooted with stock recovery, tried three times clearing the data from Google framework but no luck so far...

Root for AT&T

Hey guys not affiliated in anyway but jcase in the development thread got root working for att and Verizon through a simple apk on the phone.. Tested and working great hit up his thread more info

So does root stick around after a reboot? The moto root app showed I wasn't rooted after a reboot. Just came back from iOS so I'm a little rusty
Let me double check.. Havent rebooted since the app rebooted the phone

Its not there immediately takes 5 or so seconds after boot to work.. Jcase is aware of the issue though and working on it..
The only downside with that is something like setcpu not being able to set on boot

Also effecting the exposed software since if you do a reboot instead of a soft reboot it kills part of the process
With this root method can you use the exposed mods to remove the ATT icon from top left of status bar? Or does that require a flashable zip?

Check out the motoexposed thread in the android dev section :good:
just being back from IOS, i may hold out on pursuing this till things get ironed out. I installed 1.1 and installed the chainfire su and rebooted to find the andriod on his back with a red exclamation point. Not sure what this meant but rebooted and all is fine so I've restored to factory till future times of solid dev. I donated to jcase so i'll be back once i'm versed in android again.
What in particular was the android pic i saw referencing?
Thanks guys! Good to be back! still getting used to things as you can see

Sounds you like you tried rebooting to CMW or TW recovery. I clicked it to see what would happen and that's what I got. Rebooted normally after that and no issues.

[Q] MyTouch 4G boot loop

hi
ill been searching for weeks on the internet and here and i cannot find an answer to what is really causing the boot loop problem when i connect the charger or disconnect the charger.
to get the phone to work again i have to do the twist fix to get it to boot but as soon i connect the charger it restart it self and bootloop i have to twist again to boot, then when i disconnect the charger the same thing.
my question is do anyone ever find out what is causing this or where on the motherboard lies the problem?im assuming is probably close to the charging port. anyone have an idea where exactly the problem is?sorry if this been answered before but honestly i did not find it.
i know is an old phone but i like it is a good backup phone.thanks for taking the time to read this...
anyone?

thanks for answering well im not 100% what recovery version is on i factory reset the phone then rooted unlock with gfree and if i remember well i use rom manager to install the recovery.
the rom im running now is Android_Revolution_HD-Glacier_7.0.4
and my emmc chip is SEM04G
Switch roms. Try out cyanogen 7 nightly.
If it still bootloops there then its a hardware issue

well i did install cm7 nightly the latest and still when i connect the charger it reboot and bootloops i still have to do the twist fix to boot completly
i guess is hardware problem and im assuming is around the charging port because with the twist fix thats where most of the pressure is put on.
anyone knows exactly where it is so i can do a permanent fix and not twisting the phone every time to boot, i know it works now but for how long before something get damage inside by doing this.any help will be appreciated or i might have to give up on this phone.
i know for sure the emmc chip is fine because a few days ago i flash stock rom successfully. . thanks everyone
Ive never actually heard of that problem but it might be a loose flax cable that signals something and causes it to bootloop.
Do a logcat and then.show us the output.
Also instead of saying thanks press the thanks button.

[Q] Canadian Variant [SM-N900W8] Stuck In Boot Loop!

I've been reading through other threads here on XDA about a common boot loop issue that N900T users are experiencing, but nowhere was it mentioned that the Canadian variant users had a similar problem, but I do.
I was wondering if there were any other SM-N90028 users out there that were stuck in a boot loop?
Here is my situation:
I have a Canadian SM-N900W8 (it is, also a Qualcomm LTE version) and I'm in a boot loop... it all started when I tried to restore a Stock-Rooted Rom with TWRP.
I can't, however get it out, and I've tried all of the versions of TWRP, I've also used odin like 30 times... nothing.
I successfully restored a Rooted stock ROM through TWRP, but it wasn't until I re-installed a factory un-rooted one that things got ugly..
So I was thinking about this and perhaps the cause of this is KNOX... since the first thing I did when I rooted my phone initially was uninstall KNOX and all of its files. I know these didn't carry over when I did a TWRP backup, which is perhaps why my restore of that backup worked the first time. The second time, I just went and downloaded everything stock and used Odin, and that's when the bootloop occurred.
if anyone knows of a way to solve this, I'd be forever grateful!
I really hope I will be able to fix this...
Not to sound.to xdaish...but dude seriously this topic.is all.over the n3 forums. Have a.look and you will find tons of info.
Also...good idea to.read prior to flashing..if you had you would have know not to restore with twrp since it causes bootloops.
Just trying to you some friendly advice.

Thank you, but I've read them all and most are regarding the n900t, I felt it appropriate to ask about the n900w8 variant.
Also, I know that would have been better, but it's too late for that now. I just thought I'd share my experiences here with this issue so that others will know better.
So I tried a different stock ROM, and with the latest version of Odin, but it still is in a boot loop.
However there is one difference; this time it will boot past the Samsung logo and into android, but then a window will pop up saying "Process system isn't responding" and ask me to wait for it to respond or close it. Regardless of what I select, it will end up rebooting seconds later.
In the very short time that everything stays booted for, I can access the two pull-down menus from the top, but selecting anything will yield me no results.
Perhaps this can tell us more about this issue?
