I know I might have to pull the battery....I downloaded ROM manager in the hopes that it would be an easier way than spending a couple hours upgrading to CM 6 from my older version of CM (I don't recall which version it was).
DLed CM6 via ROM Manager as well as the google apps. It asked to reboot to complete install, I chose not to wipe data, and currently it's stuck on a screen showing the date as Sept 2 2008 and with stripes of red, green, blue, and white going across the screen. Display is not changing, nor does it seem do be responding to key presses.
Advice please? Anyone else gone through this?
[EDIT]
Pulled the battery, it was stuck in a boot loop. I started walking to the T-Mobile store to get a Samsung Galaxy. After a while in the store, I heard a text message notification from my phone. The boot loop had damn near killed the battery, but it booted. Now going to try it the right way by following the Froyo update guide that I was in too much of a hurry to see earlier.
Still want a Galaxy though
Hi there!
I started the update at 7AM, now it is almost 11AM and my android is still in the screen of "Installing system updates...".
It's like it's installing, because the loading bar get to 100%, the screen comes black, and then the loading bar appears again and all the process repeats.
But I'm not sure if it's normal to wait so many hours...
I have a Nexus 4 non-rooted, witouth nothing special, just like it comes from factory.
Do anyone else with the same problem? Do I reboot or I'll lost everything? :S
After a recent snafu in trying to remove root from my Nexus 7 tablet and installing the 4.3 update I think there are issues with with it's ability to keep a constant wireless connection, Juice Defender be damned as way before root and even during root I was able to maintain a flawless connection although I think the issue may have arisen during my installation of a cracked google play store app.
This was a couple months ago though.
However I decided rooting wasn't worth it and wanted to update to the new 4.3, this is where the snafu occurs, unrooting wasn't a problem at all, nor was flashing stock recovery, but the process of installing 4.3 was since even performing the update in my settings wasn't working, it would download and my tablet would restart and try to apply the update but soon after it would error out and I had to perform a hard shut down.
After that it would boot like normal and there were no issues, other than the update failing to apply.
So I decided to try and apply the update manually and as it turns out, I was attempting to install the update for the mobile version of the tablet instead of the wi-fi only one that I have so it didn't install correctly and simply erased all data on my tablet except luckily for the devices fastboot mode.
Seeing that I installed the correct 4.3 factory image and this is where the wi-fi issues come into play (I wanted to explain in as much detail as I could that might shed light on my current wi-fi situation).
The tablet booted up seemingly normally, taking a bit longer than it should have to me and upon getting to the glowing X before the main screen it suddenly reset it's self and then booted up correctly; so I finished the set up process after linking my wi-fi up but while going through each app that uses wi-fi I started off with games like Happy Street and The Sims Freeplay which worked normally.
Then I got go my Bank of America app and it's the one app (besides the Play Store on occasion), that didn't work at all, instead it just timed out, there's a screenshot so you can verify for yourselves.
You can clearly see I do have an established connection but this is the only app that fails to work after the update, again besides the Play Store but I've removed root and the crack is no longer installed, not that it would work anyway without root access but it doesn't concern me as much since it'll connect after force closing the app and starting it again.
So that's my issue in detail, is there something that I messed up that's preventing the device from maintaining a connection? Or do I simply need to re-install the factory image to restore connections?
Hmm...I've been having some trouble with WiFi as well.
I was running CM10 and then installed the 4.3 factory image over that. That's where the problem started. Since then I've tried the 4.2 factory image, Ubuntu Touch, and I'm now back on CM10, but the issue remains that my WiFi seems to stop working even though the icon in the notification bar says that it's connected.

Well the weird thing is, is that every other app seems to work but that one where it just times out, I'm going to try just re-installing the update and see if that helps things.
Edit: After backing everything up I decided to re-install the 4.3 update and after downloading the Bank of America app it started up instantly, froze for a moment and allowed me to sign in.
I closed out of the app and tried again to check and after 3 attempts to sign in it worked each time, I think the re-installation did the trick.
Guys, I don't usually post on forums but now I just can't make myself sending it back without making sense of this first.
So I got the Nexus 7 one month ago, barely used it and didn't install any fancy stuff on it. One week ago I saw an app that I wanted and before installing it I had to install BusyBox. In my foolishness I didn't read the description that the tablet has to be rooted before I install it.
When the installation finished this exact problem suddenly happened: youtube.com/watch?v=5d319gUeYLM
Why I'm determined it's a hardware problem:
- The next morning I turned it on and everything was back to normal, however, after 15 seconds it slowly dimmed and got back to that exact screen
- You can navigate the menus and hear the sounds
- The morning after again, back to normal, I hurried and did a factory reset and deleted everything. This didn't help at all, the problem was still there and the screen never went back to normal even for a few seconds.
- It keeps the same lines in the recovery menu and on boot.
While everything points it's a hardware problem and the guy on YouTube said Asus replaced his display, how can this simply be a COINCIDENCE? For this to happen exactly when I installed something it wasn't supposed to be installed if the tablet wasn't rooted?
Just picked up a NP last night, and it's been trying to install updates to various apps all night and all day... It seems to download them fine, but then gets stuck on "INSTALLING..." forever.
Any suggestions?
