Why the reboot loops?!? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been running sky raider 3 for a couple days now and all off a sudden I'm trying to open a few apps, one of them being tapatalk and all of a sudden my device reboots on me. It reboots and then reboots on me again. I noticed when I'm in the app drawer it doesn't reboot on me. So I go into rom manager to try n d/l sky2.5 then it opts me to backup.i backup and says no ext. Sd found writing md5. Reboots into recovery. I opt to try and look for the rom to flash. I try to run my backup and it days md5 mismatch. None of the roms show up. Im stuck with the current rom that constantly reboots. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] help after flashing rom....

ok i flashed the newest vr gengersense b.4. Since ive done so here are some of the issues.
-cant call some numbers in contact till they call me the first time.
-led wont flash to notify
-random rebots
-lose 3g coverage for 20-30 min at a time (randomly)
-have force close on mms, market, camera, and a few apps from the market.
-i wiped and everything ive tried to get rid of for the new rom is still loading
pretty sure there was a few other things but mind is a blank. sorry to bother ive looked just dont have alot of time at work to try and work this out any input is good. also tried to find something to do a full wipe but cant seem to find nor am i sure that will fix issues
I would reboot into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu except the SD card and then re-flash the rom.

ive done that and still the same issues. now after that ill get text messages and it shows there blank. also deleted and re downloaded rom. and tried the new download and no go still. ive flashed atleast 30 diff roms since ive had this and never had this issue. well that wasnt fixed by a re flash
Are you using clockworkmod or amon RA recovery? Clockwork doesn't wipe correctly and leaves things behind. I would recommended puting on amon and then go into recovery use calkulins format all then wipe manually then flash and boot and it should work. Also as far as the market fc'ing that might be a sign that you didn't flash a gapps file. If that's not the case go into setting>applications and find the market. Once there clear the data for it and see if that works. Good luck.

And if other apps from the market are closing try installing them from the market and not a backup from titanium. When backing up and restoring apps to other roms some things stuck with them from other roms that may cause in wanted side effects (force closes)

ok so i switched from clockwork to amon ra and that fixed a bit. now have an issue whit doing a restart on the rom it hangs at the evo screen. but may be something with the rom will take this part back to the forum for the rom. thanks
Copy the contents of your SD card to your computer. Afterwards, reformat & re-partition your card. Put the rom back on the card. From recovery, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it EXCEPT the SD card and then flash the rom. Any problems you've had should be eliminated. Be patient during the initial boot.

[Q] Can't Flash AOSP

Hello forum,
I recently switched from CM7 because I was having some issue with random resets and FCing with Maps that slow down and shut off my phone. I flashed to the New Fresh ROM to try it out. That worked fine, but I missed the pull down notification bar. I tried Salvage-Zen but got stuck in a boot-loop and then I tried Salvage. I got past the boot screen but when the Android pops up even though I click I can't go any further. Does anybody know of a possible solution?
Few suggestions: Are you wiping properly, do you have the latest recovery (amon ra or clockwork), are you flashing gapps, did you update to all the latest radios/wimax/prl?
Why don't you try to flash decks aosp rom!

do you do a clean wipe before flashing roms or are you just installing one on top of the other. I would suggest looking for Caulkins format all zip and run it prior to flashing a rom
Same problem on friends phone just use amon RA wipe everything twice and flash and be patient with the white evo 4 g screen it may take a while there.

I'm wiping completely using both Clockwork and Amon but its still a no go and I flash falls when using aosp. I'll try that Rom and report the results.

[Q] error while generating md5 sum

i'm using 3.1.0.1 of CW and i recently installed the latest Hawk mod. Have everything setup the way i like and yet when i go to do a backup whether through 3 finger boot or ACS or Rom manager i get the above error. Never had the issue before using any other ROM but can't get past this error. Tried searching but just not finding the answer. I thought about doing a re-install of CW but will that wipe any of my good backups out?
Did you rename your backups? If not there is a string of ADB code you can use to fix the md5 mismatches. I am not on my computer now but I googled Samsung Epic md5 mismatch fix and it was one of hits there.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Man, this happened to me a few times on the CWM 3.1.0.1. I have been testing the ACS Recovery for almost 2 months and it hasn't happened once. You may want to try it out if you can't fix those mismatches. Nandroids will restore from 3.1.0.1 but only if those MD5's match
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
i tried that but it also errors out then reboots... any other ideas? i want to try some other ROMS out but if i can't restore my current ROM then that won't be good....
If you have ADB set up you can try these to restore a MD5 mismatch:

When I got the MD5 mismatches, it basically screwed up everything that was on my SD card. Its always a good idea to backup everything on your SD card to your PC. For instance, my Epic Touch didn't come with an SD card. I took my class 6 16gig card from my Epic, backed it up and put it in my ET4G. Sure enough, after a week I got a corrupt SD card pop-up saying format was required. I formatted it and put my music, wallpapers, and pictures back on the SD and all is good now. Actually, the phone is a bit faster. Its not fun starting from scratch but sometimes its a blessing in disguise. An Odin, re root, format SD card is good every now and then. If I didn't have that backed up on my lappy, I would have lost 500 songs, tons of apps etc..I learned that the hard way

GS3 Reboots In Clockworkmod

running PAC ROM for the last few months, very few issues. yesterday, phone randomly reboots & stays in bootloop. I manually reboot into recovery, do a clean wipe & re-flash ROM. phone works fine until i try to restore apps/data via Titanium, the phone goes back into bootloop. figured i possibly waited too soon to restore my phone, so i held out until this morning. go to run Titanium & phone bootloops again. but this time when i reboot into recovery & try to do a factory reset, the phone reboots as soon as i select "Yes" & goes back into bootloop. Google produced nothing, help!!!! Thanks.
Reflash rom and try to determine which app youre restoring that may be causing the problem. Do you let apps auto update? Do you have backups set to rerun on a schedule?
You could also odin flash the official firmware and start over that way.

thanks for your response! I believe I found the culprint; a theme I downloaded yesterday. I was able to wipe everything except data & reboot, which caused the phone to "optomize" all of my apps. So far so good, but I'm not so sure if this is a temporary or permanent fix.
I dont auto update anything on my phone. Should I?
EDIT: spoke too soon, phone worked for about 2 hours & went into bootloop while idle. froze while deleting dalvik cache but rebooted & is back "optomizing apps". Looks like I may have to odin flash.

Dont auto update, I was just asking because if you did, it could point to a recently updated app as the problem.
It does sound to me like odin is your best option though.

Wow armond, the EXACT same thing happened to be while running Illusion. I couldn't factory reset in recovery, b/c that led to a bootloop when i pressed "yes". I wiped, cache/dalvik and phone worked for a little, had a hot reboot, and bootlooped again. By any chance are you running Ktoonsez kt747 kernel? And i eventually got it fixed thanks to Doc through ODIN. Best of luck!

[Q] Phone was fine, ran out of battery, now "System Ui Has stopped" every few seconds

[Q] Phone was fine, ran out of battery, now "System Ui Has stopped" every few seconds
Hey,
Note 2 running PACMAN rom, android 4.3.
I woke up and checked it at 8am, no problems at all. Went to use it at 1pm and it had run out of battery. I plugged it into my computer to charge it, turned it on and it said "System UI has stopped. Blame Tyler" - and continues to do this every time you press OK, with about a 3 second gap in between each one.
I restart my phone quite regularly and I don't think I've installed anything that could be causing this. I've disabled XPosed but same problem. Any other ideas? Otherwise I'll have to just wipe it and start again, perhaps with CM. I need a working phone for tomorrow though!
Cheers
Maybe a silly question, but have you wiped cache and dalvik cache from recovery? If not try it.

This seems quite sinisiter - thanks for the suggestion but it hasn't worked, and it's unearthed something more concerning about the state of my phone (the TWRP messages, see below). Can't believe I didn't think to do that myself though! (I haven't messed around with ROMs for quite a while so am out of practice, I've had this one for a few months).
Delvik cache completed, then said something like "updating partition details. E: Error opening '/data/system/...." I/O Error" and various APKs - one of which was system UI. Wiping the cache again told me done, but loads of errors of similar APKs (This time in /data/data/ though). This sounds incredibly ominous though and I've never seen that error before in any of the wipes or anything I've done.
Restarted it but the system UI error messages persist. I want to wipe and install a fresh ROM but I'm worried I'm going to be left with a totally useless phone if things won't wipe or flash properly. Any ideas would be great.
If anything goes wrong u still have the option to flash a new rom through odin.

I'm currently downloading a rom to flash with odin. I tried to do a nandroid backup but the same I/O errors appeared. I have no idea what could have caused this as the phone was running absolutely fine yesterday!
try to fix permissions in recovery. On HD2 it helped in 90% of the cases

Yup. This might be the solution.
Helped me 90% of the times. Go to TWRP -> Advanced -> Fix Permissions
