Ubuntu boots to black screen? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

-I am using Multirom
-My internal rom is stock 4.2.1
-I also have PA 3.0 installed
- using Kernel w/ kexec-hardboot patch (stock 4.2)
When I install Ubuntu it will go to the boot screen (where it says 'Ubuntu' with the little loading squares flashing) then it eventually just goes black and doesn't respond. Any ideas on this black screen of death? Let me know if you guys have any info, tried to google around but can't seem to find this specific problem.

Haha a nice number of views but looks like nobody knows yet huh?
I've since wiped off ubuntu and tried to install the rom several times. I've downloaded new images, re-applied my kernel, all sorts of crap but it doesn't seem to a make a difference, still the same scenario happens.
Something else I've noticed is that if I wait a while at the blank screen, eventually I hit the power button I will see "ubuntu" flash in the center real quick, then back to blank screen.

I have excat the same behavior in exact the same configuration. Yesterday flashed Multirom to a stock Android 4.2.1, with Ubuntu image nightly from 14-Feb-2013 + kexec4.2.
I see the initial Ubuntu bootscreen which turns black and that's it....
Any ideas are highly welcome.

Im not dual booting and the same thing is happening. I tried a new download from today with no luck.

Just re-installed 4.2.2 and got that back working. Tried to re-flash Ubuntu from scratch and same thing.... Fade 2 Black

Same here...
I'm also having this same problem. I've just bought my nexus, my first android device to help out with Ubuntu dev but cannot get it to load. 4.2.1 stock ROM with kexec 4.2 and multirom. It could be me doing something stupid but have reinstalled Ubuntu several times with no joy.
Still, first post here and good to meet you all. Looking forwards to getting all this moving. Exciting times

Same here. Ubuntu used to work in an earlier version (build of 12 Feb or 13 Feb), with Launcher crashes very often. Then, begging from the 14 Feb build, ubuntu just boot into black screen. Retried many times, changed MultiROM version ... just doesn't work, always end in black screen.

Hmmmm, is it just users with multiboot or can people not boot in running native? I guess I'll try again in a day or two and see if anything has changed. I'll update if I have any success or hear anything.

Nope. I am trying native install with no multiboot and I just get black screen.
I am performing manual install each time..has anyone done the Ubuntu based auto install?

Same problem here...
I get the Ubuntu animation with the red and white balls animating then the screen goes black and nothing...I have let it sit for 30 mins.
Stock rooted 4.2.2 with a37 M Kernel

Same problem as OP
I have the same problem as the OP
Nexus 7 32g wifi only
Multirom v8
Android 4.2.1
kernal_kexec_42-2
Using the 15 Feb 2013 build
Does anyone know where I could get a hold of an older build to see if that solves the problem?
Edit: Is everyone here using a recent build of ubuntu?

Same problem here... very sadly. Stays black after see logo some seconds. I will test n7-ubuntu-16gb.2012.10.26.tar.xz now...

Update: Black screen has been confirmed by the devs and its under the class of "critical", I bet it will be all sorted soon.

Sorry I miss read what he meant. We need to find the build 3 days ago (13/02/13) which isn't affected, only if someone has it by chance.

Nice, glad to see I am not alone at least. Thanks so much for all the info thus far guys.

Hi to all,
So far ubuntu 12.10 rar I tryt and everything fine with nexus 7 ....
Is the black screen fixed with ubuntu daily build version 13?

EDIT: Probably best if we move over to this thread to discuss this issue now.

Hm ... some people has reported that the latest images is now working normally. But I am using the 30-01-13 image and it works just fine as well. I just want to know whether it makes any difference if I issue an upgrade via sudo apt-get update && suso apt-get dist-upgrate comparing to flashing the latest working image. Anyone knows about that?
I should have posted behind the MultiROM thread in the Nexus 7 Original Development forum, but I don't yet have right to post there.

Forgive me for this post/topic, but this is the zip that should make the ICS to boot,
if you notice its a black and nothing else then its should be due to no "edited build.prop of our resolution!

black screen, you did wipe everything ??
Moving this to General - there really isn't any real development going on other than some copies, pastes, and asking testers to bork their device. The OP can't test this on his own device but is asking others to do it for him. This is not development. When something of substance happens - then create a new thread that is actual development in the development section.
ok so to repack the boot.img
blobpack <headerfile=kernelblob.HEADER> <outfile=kernelblob> <partitionname=? kernelblob.ebt or kernelblob.LNX > <partitionfile=kernelblob.ebt or kernelblob.LNX >
and is this even nessesary ?_? kernelblob.LNX-config

New CM9 Nightly Builds for TF101

Hello people,
I was looking through the nightly builds on download.cyanogenmod.com
I saw a fresh build for TF101 dated for 2/27.
Check it out. I will flash it and see how it is.
Someone also needs to create an Official CM9 Nightly page in Dev section.
So who wants to be the Guinea pig? I'm already running that KANG that was posted up earlier this weekend. I may try it after I charge up.
yea...guinea pig here....goes through boot animation and then system ui and trebuchet (the launcher) fc...i would say stay away until some official announcement is made
Yeah. It doesn't even boot up probably. :-(... going back to stock

You have to start somewhere.
Now at least we have an official CM9 branch, which means someone is working on it

I'm surprised that this news seems to be not generating much buzz here. Not knocking any of the other devs, because most of them do amazing work, but CM is the bee's knees. When those nightlies get semi-mature, I'll be running them and never look back. They've never done me wrong before. Any device I've ever had that was supported, was the best ROM available for my needs. YMMV, of course.
I think when its own thread is created youll see the buzz, cm rocks lol

Yep, same here, even with wipe dalvik and fix permissions, FC´s :S
Let us wait for a new update....
Alas, I ran across this on get.cm also. Got excited and then had the FC issues like everyone else. At least it is a step in the right direction.
Don´t know if its related,
lost my wifi hability after trying this, anyone else?
it just won´t turn on :S
Was just about to try flashing it until I saw how many people were unsuccessful. Oh well, guess I'll wait until an official release.

Not sure if it's related or not but my wifi on a Kanged version of CM9 is acting weird, disconnecting and saying out of range.
I tried this one first but it could just be the ROM I'm on.

i would like to see MIUI V4 on tab, as it will be easier to port than 2.x was ^_^
New official CM9 nightly on get.cm. It boots!!! Gonna test it and report back in a bit.
EDIT1: Wifi works and was able to log into my Google account. Currently restoring my Titanium Backup and will test a bit more after that. Also, camera makes the tablet reboot on first launch, but works after that. Odd. More info to come.
EDIT2: Face unlock is there, but doesn't recognize my face, so I can't test it out. It couldn't recognize my face on my Nexus S 4G either. Maybe my face is just derped up. Anyway, there is nothing that I could tell that is broken. Even the MicroSD mounted with no issue. I don't have a keyboard dock to test it out, otherwise I would. Games and videos both work fine.

Definitely a HUGE thanks to Socim!! The Paranoid rom is working really well on my phone. Only 1 reboot during initial setup with an up time of 45h. Very stable.

I am still having some random reboot when I try to light up the screen from idle. But otherwise everything work fine and fast. ROM look amazing
Everything was great for me too... No reboots for 2 days, but what I did experience is lockups and slowdowns. I tried modifying cpu thresholds to no avail. Also had camera probs.
Really cool rom, I hope it gets support in the future to make totally stable... For now, had to revert back to 0829 cm9...stable stable land! Haha

Weird, I've never encountered that issue. I assume you did a complete clean install of the Paranoid rom? Maybe get cat log running and log the event if it happens, I hear that helps devs track down the issue. Are any specific apps running when these reboots occur?
been running this ROM for around 24 hours noticed around 4 or 5 random resets and am still having the issue with instagram and youtube controls being put in the background. Otherwise the build is quite reliable and very snappy, Thanks for the effort!
The reboot for me only occurs during screen unlock. I have remove the patern unclock and since then did not see any reboot. Will let you know tomorrow the result
Update: I got another reboot this morning without any lock active. Will try another fresh install to see

[DISCONTINUED][ROM] [CM10/10.1] [OaTLnT] [Mar. 17/June 08, 2013]

First, Happy and Safe Holidays to all.
Next, find below the links to my most recent kang'd, lightened, and tweaked JB ROM with working sound, mic, video, and camera; albeit with the camera images rotated 90 degrees per usual (at least in the camera app I use). Please note that this ROM does not require the expanded system partition achievable with ACMEInstaller3; I still have ~60MB left after flashing this and the accompanying lightened GApps. I flash these with the latest TWRP and have the latest moboot installed. Hope these work as well for you as they do for me, but it goes without saying YMMV!
Finally, I've been focusing most of my ROM development efforts on the new Nexus 4, so updates to this, if any, may be far and few between, and only triggered by major problems or a major update to JB. Still, at this stage I feel our beloved TP's have aged extremely well thanks to the entire AOSP and CM communities and specifically to the likes of Green, Dalingrin, JC Sullins, Dorregaray, etc. who have and continue to make this all possible. So without further ado...

Happy Holidays OaT, so great to have you back!.....how's the battery life?? Lol...just kidding OaT.....
Haven't flashed anything on HP Touchpad since the first ICS release or so. Seems a lot has changed and I'm finding it hard to find the info needed. With these downloads waht exactly do I need to do? I have CWM recovery, but you mentioned TWRP I believe. Step by step instaling would be appreciated or if someone could point me to them. Haven't used the ACME installer in forever so I'd rather not brick it
Thanks in advance! And Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Sorry I can't help , I was hoping that it had deleted the old ulimage and was trying to boot into that.
You could try sticking it on charge and then booting into recovery to install the backup I hope u made or webos to check what ulimages are in your boot folder in case that is to full.

Mako Android L B4 causing problems?

Hi everyone.
First of all, i apologize if there's an answer out there i'm looking but i cant find it anywhere of the hundreds of threads containing thousands of posts.
I bought a cracked Nexus 4 on ebay and i already fixed the screen by replacing a new one and everything is working now.
The phone was already rooted with Mako's Android L beta4 i believe and to be honest i didnt really liked it.
I know it is on its early stages and the official one from google is still far from the next month of its release and im in no rush to get it and experience until it gets more stabilized so i would rather use Cyanogenmod 11.
So i did a full wipe/factory reset, wipe partition cache, wipe dalvik cache and installed with a nightly CM 11 from 20140907.
Everything works perfectly and cant find anything thats causing problems except one thing.
When i make a phone call, the screen turns off as if i pressed the lock screen button which i didn't but the call is still ongoing and i have to press to unlock button to turn on the screen and unlock, and when i'm on the call at the dialer i cant hang up by pressing the red hang up button, neither pressing the numbers or anything. Nothing works, the dialer is frozed and the only way i can hang it up is by going on the home screen and going to notifications and hang it up from there.
I never encountered this problem before on cyanogenmod and i believe its not from it but from the installation of makos android L b4 itself from its kernel that its not allowing me to make the phone calls. That's just my opinion. Anyone has any idea of whats causing the problem?
Is there a solution? Do i have to do a fresh clean install from the beginning maybe like to stock and from there to cyanogenmod?
Please help me out guys, im loving the Nexus 4, came from the Galaxy S2 i9100M and i had no problem rooting it at all and its still with CM 11.

Hi everyone.
First of all, i apologize if there's an answer out there i'm looking but i cant find it anywhere of the hundreds of threads containing thousands of posts.
I bought a cracked Nexus 4 on ebay and i already fixed the screen by replacing a new one and everything is working now.
The phone was already rooted with Mako's Android L beta4 i believe and to be honest i didnt really liked it.
I know it is on its early stages and the official one from google is still far from the next month of its release and im in no rush to get it and experience until it gets more stabilized so i would rather use Cyanogenmod 11.
So i did a full wipe/factory reset, wipe partition cache, wipe dalvik cache and installed with a nightly CM 11 from 20140907.
Everything works perfectly and cant find anything thats causing problems except one thing.
When i make a phone call, the screen turns off as if i pressed the lock screen button which i didn't but the call is still ongoing and i have to press to unlock button to turn on the screen and unlock, and when i'm on the call at the dialer i cant hang up by pressing the red hang up button, neither pressing the numbers or anything. Nothing works, the dialer is frozed and the only way i can hang it up is by going on the home screen and going to notifications and hang it up from there.
I never encountered this problem before on cyanogenmod and i believe its not from it but from the installation of makos android L b4 itself from its kernel that its not allowing me to make the phone calls. That's just my opinion. Anyone has any idea of whats causing the problem?
Is there a solution? Do i have to do a fresh clean install from the beginning maybe like to stock and from there to cyanogenmod?
Please help me out guys, im loving the Nexus 4, came from the Galaxy S2 i9100M and i had no problem rooting it at all and its still with CM 11.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this, and any ideas are welcome.

Try flashing other roms... Stock I would recommend and then test for that issue if not good or else then flash AOSP romwith good custom kernel(ak , hellscore)

Is it possible to use hellscore kernel wit CM rom?
Sorry for the noobish questions but i havent mastered when it comes to rooting and all.
I never installed any rom besides CM.

At first, i installed another rom like paranoid 4.45 20140729 and it didnt work, it got worse.
When i would make a call, the screen would turn off and couldnt get to back on and it does but not even for a sec so it kept remaining wit a screen off but the call was still going.
The next step i tried AOSP build 12 rom, with same kernel and it also didnt work. Same as before when i had CM 11.
I just installed CM 11 rom with hellscore b55 CM anykernel and it does the same thing.
My only next step based on your opinion is trying AOSP rom with hellscore kernel (not the CM version).
Is there anything else i can try if the aosp wit hellscore kernel doesnt work?
could you indicate me where to get the stock kit kat because i see versions of them and im not sure if their stock or not.
is it also possible to use stock with hellscore kernel?
Much appreciate for all the help you have given me so far.
Same problem with simple AOSP with hellscore b55 anykernel.
Any other ideas?

I can't believe it! After all this time, blaming on the software so hard and for the last resort I actually did dissembled my N4 to check the sensors and everything but did nothing. But dude, you solved the mystery! Everything is working perfectly now. I can't appreciate how thankful I am. Many thanks
