Software causing phone to freeze on boot - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I went to reboot my phone this morning, and for some reason, it caused my phone to get stuck at the white HTC screen.
I did a full wipe, reflashed my ROM (ARHD 3.2) and installed all my programs. Again, on reboot it crashes.
Now, I have flashed the ROM again. After install I did a reboot, and it worked perfectly. What do you think could be causing this? Some software interfering with the boot cycle?

Did you restore your backups? Did you use fullwipe to wipe or did you do it manually?
I remember last time i got bootloop/stuck at HTC screen was when i restored my apps from mybackup pro...sometimes these apps do not work as they are supposed to

All I did was reboot my phone. Then it crashed.
After I flashed the ROM again, and reinstalled some apps, it crashed again. I hadn't restored any data at all.
I'm assuming then that it was an app that caused my phone to crash.

Could this be a hardware issue?
I reflashed a new ROM, installed some programs, went to reboot, and it has crashed. Again.
REALLY starting to annoy me. Anyone have any ideas what could crash a boot crash like this?

Ok. I think I have found the culprit!
Seems it's Busybox v1.8.1.4!
I installed it, rebooted and it crashed. Did it again on a fresh flash with no user data returned. Same effect.

Just out of interest, has anyone else had problems with Busybox 1.8.1.4 causing their phone to crash?

Crazy and extremely anooying reboots

I have a dinc running skyraider 3.3final and each time i reboot, i get the setup when i unlock
i tried skyraider, virtuous, and cyanogenmod and they all took me to setup after reboot and uninstalled all apps
~~~~please help~~~~
this happens even when you don't wipe?
I haven't tried not wiping
but everytime i do a full install and wipe everything, i still get the problem when i reboot. I've been going all day and everything has been working fine, i just don't want to reboot because i won't have anything
any suggestions
I had this happen to me also not too long ago, never tracked down what was causing it. No matter what ROM i flashed, or nandroid restored, I would end up with the setup screen and a multitude of FC's.
I ended up just returning to stock with the official RUU, and re-rooting. Haven't had an issue since. Make sure you back EVERYTHING up though.

[Q] LeeDroid HD V3.0.3 GB crash after install

Having trouble with the latest LeeDroid HD ROM have flashed many LeeDroid roms before without issue but for some reason aftering clearing all caches and running the latest rom it will install ok but on reboot it just hangs on the White HTC screen and won't boot in.
Any Ideas what could be causing it?
Currently Running LeeDroid HD v3.0.1, LeeDroid Kernel v3.1.1 radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
Make sure you're deleting all data do a full factory reset (deletes all data does not actually restore to factory condition) then clear the dalvik cache, re apply the ROM make sure its CLEAN and you haven't modified it, don't apply any themes or anything, then let it boot and be patient.
Try downloading it again also it could be a corrupt download.

I had similar issue few days back. But i had the Leedroid rom (same rom,kernel as urs) already runing flawlessly for a few days. It decided just to hangs at the same HTC Screen... tried to clear caches(all), hard reset, reflash same rom... still stuck same place. I finally had to flash stock 1.32 image, root all over again, etc. ... and flash Leedroid (same) again... works fine now
I got the feeling that I made my friends with their stock DHD and Iphone users drooling and jealous of my phone(csutomised with sense 3.0 stuffs), and they collectively jinxed my phone, and had this crash! lolz
btw. i flashed SAME rom i had on my sdcard, so I think the rom fine(mine at least). just something triggered that crash!
all the best...
Yea i tried reflashing from stock rom the other day loaded up one of the RUU exe's and rerooted etc and tried to reflash with no luck so i'm all out of ideas

Have also done factory reset and cleared dalvik cache etc. no joy
Just managed to find a copy of LeeDroid HD V3.0.2 have installed and found it also crashes but.... it gets to the LeeDroid Android screen, little further but unfortunately still crashes
Managed to get 3.0.3 working on my DHD turns out it was just down the cwm version i had, updated to 3.0.2.5 and boom worked first time =D only problem i have had with both 3.0.1 and 3.0.3 is the camera keeps dropping out, app doesn't force close but the screen keeps going black and all buttons dissapear then all comes back... =( Atleast i'm up to date though
Any Idea's on the Cam issue?
have run logcat and noticed the following in the log
W/mm-camera( 1400): config_proc_CAMERA_STOP_SNAPSHOT: state is not correct ctrl->state = 25 W/mm-camera( 1400): VFE_RESET_ACK illegal ctrl->state 24
dunno if that makes any sense to anyone
tinkered with it a little last night didn't seem to make a difference so left it over night and for some odd reason works fine this morning i think the issue was down the camera app itself but it looks to be working fine now thankfully
UPDATE:
Ok looks like the issue is still there found out what is causing it thought, the camera works fine but...only when wifi is off, if you turn wifi back on you get the same issue as before,
Please anyone got an idea on wtf?
UPDATE2: have worked out it must be the camera app due to the fact i download a different app which appeared to work fine. Not sure why there's a glitch though

[Q] Freeze on Gingervillain 2.8

Hi,
I installed Gingervillain 2.8 about a week ago and everything ran perfect.
Than for some reason(?) I rebooted my Desire and it got stuck on the Gingervillain boot screen. I than wiped the cache and the dalvikcache some times and even once reinstalled the rom (without wiping the data).
Eventually the phone booted and I could login, everything seemed to be ok.
But after a bout 5 minutes playing (mail, tweedeck, gallery...)the phone frooze. Rebooted, wiped caches, same thing..
In the end, I did the same, hooked the phone to the charger and went to sleep.
In the morning everything seemed to be working fine so far....
Any ideas what can cause this or how I can investigate this?
Jan
Did you flash/install anything (kernel,...)? Are you using SetCPU? (maybe you overclock it - can cause freezes)
No, I did not change anything compared to the default settings.
But indeed, it looks like something changed that was activated by a reboot.
I remember I tried to restore the HTC Weather widget with Titanium, but that failed. Not sure if this could have caused this. Sometimes a downloaded app does not work anymore (had that with whatsapp/googlemaps), remove and re-install fixes that.
Reboots now seem to work. But still an occasional freeze.
Is there a way to investigate this? I can connect to the Desire with putty....
Maybe you have a nandroid backup you made after the first time you flashed gv2.8?
And try if you have the same problems then?
Hans
Indeed I have a nandroid backup, made quite recent after the first install.
But first I want to see if this can be solved otherwise.
Using this backup will require to install a lot of apps again.
Unless I get a 'golden' tip here and I do not get too many freezes, first steps will be:
- getting a > class 4 micro sd (not sure what I have now)
- If that doesn't help, use the backup.

[Q] CM10 suddenly unstable after reboot.

recently flashed cyanogenmod 10 (stable) to my sgs2. It worked wonderfully until my first reboot, then any app, including settings would freeze and need to be killed. I tried fixing permissions, but would get stuck at the boot animation. tried wiping cache, again stuck at boot animation. restoring from a backup made before the first reboot works fine, but sure enough the same stability issues come back if I reboot the phone.
Anyone have any idea whats going on or how i can fix this? I searched for a while for similar threads but couldn't find anything.
so ronrey.

Phone constantly crashing

Randomly while I was in class I noticed my phone rebooted by itself. I look to see that it crashes shortly after the OS loads. It sometimes lets me log in but that is as far as I get. I backed up using TWRP and then restored an earlier point and that solved the issue. I decided to go back to the newer backup later and that worked. Earlier today my auto rotate stopped working so I rebooted my phone and the same issue happened again when it booted up. The phone would crash shortly after the OS boots and then restart. I am currently on the older backup which is working for now.
I am rooted with TWRP bumped and I am using the latest stock ROM.

try booting in safemode if it doesn't crashin safe mode it is an rogue app, if it crashes then go into twrp and wipe system then reflash your rom
How do I boot into safe mode?
I think the issue was ad-block plus. I will post if it occurs without it.
