Hi,
I'm a real neewbie so please be gentle.
I've rooted my phone and put defrost 5.4 on it.
Works good and i'm figuring out how things work.
I found out now that when i reboot the phone it gets stuck in starting up.
The colors exploding from the left and the right side to become a "X", but then after a while the x is not made any longer and after half an hour it is still trying to make an X.
Take out the battery, put it back and start the phone and it starts normal.
When i install something from the "defrost setup" its downloaded and when i press install the phone restarts, it is unpacking the file, reboots and then gets stuck again.
Have to take out the battery to start the phone again.
What can be the couse of this??
Just found out that also a "normal start" ends up in a endless bootscreen.
The only way to start the phone is take the battery out, put it back and press "start".
Do a full wipe and try another ROM is my first suggestion.
So idid a wipe, after that a recovery (had to start all over again) but the endless bootscreen still remains.
???
1) Find a new ROM and put it on the root of your SDCARD
2) Boot into Recovery by pressing BACK and the POWER button
3) Perform a full wipe (data/factory reset) and cache
4) Flash the new ROM
5) Boot the phone
If you still have problems post logcat.
i've cleaned and whiped (i think) almost everything.
Installed a fresh defrost 5.6.
Installed the defrost apps addon, the phone reboots and a screen apears with a android an a box with an arrow out.
Text is passing by, the phone reboots and starts up.
So far so good, but when i restart or reboot the phone its hangs in this endless lashing coulorfull screen.
I've tried to make a "logcat".
Hopefully it tells you more than it tells me.
i am having the same problem.
first off all: you can press power + volume down + optical joystick to restart phone.
no need to remove battery
my last logcat (with Error filter): www wog-fds.de/log_bootloop.txt
i started to have this problem when i redid the unrevoked process (dont really remember why, thou).
thx for help
edit: not sure but the first logcat looks like somethings missing
heres anotherone without filter www wog-fds.de/log_bootloop2.txt
thx
OK, maybe this is getting somewhere.
I also did a re-revoke, but i do know why.
the first attempt to root my phone ended up in a small disaster.
At the end of the proces i found out that i have a SLCD screen and not an AMOLED, so my phone was as good as dead.
Thanks to someone on a Dutch forum i was able to get my phone back to life.
After that i rooted my phone with the latest version of unrevoked, and this time i was succesfull.
But now i am encountering this problem and it is no fun.
I have at the moment nothing running on the phone because after a re-re-reinstallation i can start all over again with al the apps and so on.
It hangs at the final stages of the boot it looks like.
I had a similar problem when I was messing around with my old framework.
So why you're getting it, I have no idea.
First thing is first Bud
Download DeFrost 5.7 And use the latest version (Illuminate some issues to start with)
What your saying is the Boot Animation (The Multi Colour X animation "Nexus Boot Animation"
You get a boot loop on there....
How long have you left it trying to boot? the first boot after a Reflash does take alot longer than normal as it has to write to a number of files first.
(This only occurs on a New ROM or a Reflash of the frameworks)
So first off Lets Get that latest ROM on the SD Card:
Use w/e method you need to to get it on there
Turn the Phone Off "Where going to load recovery"
Press the Down Volume Key and press the power button Once.
You will see a white screen with Android images at the bottom:
Press the Volume down once (Recovery) when this is highlighted press the power button
Where now in a black screen Press Volume Up and Power
(We should now have a Blue Menu (Am taking it by the issues you talk about your using Clockwork Recover.......)
Go down to Apply sdcard:update.zip
And press the power button. So where now Clock Work Recovery
(If you dont have Clockwork i.e. Fake Flash Update.zip maybe someone can post it for me, Limited for time in work, But search for Fake FLash Clockwork if you dont have it.
Then go down to Wipe Date/Factory Reset
Select the only line that is Populated.
Go back to main menu and go to install Zip from SDCard and press the OJ
Select Choose Zip from SDCard.
Find you ROM and press the OJ
Wait some time and press the back button a few times, and select the reset option?
DO NOT INSTALL NO MODS OR THEMES, THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE AFTER A FULL BOOT OF A CLEAN ROM.
Leave it some time, as the first boot is always the longest.
Fingers crossed you should be OK.
What your talking about is a problem with the ROM (as the bootanimation is called by the ROM)

That'd be my guess too. If you try to apply a mod before you've let the ROM unpack itself it does exactly as you describe.

I've installed the defrost.
After it came in full working conditions i've added the defrost add-on.
Phone shuts down, starts again in the screen with the one doid and a box with an arrow out.
Some writing apears and the phone starts again.
The colours apears and making a cross and this goes faster and faster and then a screen where i have to enter my sim-unlockcode and the phone is up and running.
So far so good.
When i now switch the phone off or give it a reboot ( in the screen after a long press on the powerbutton) the phone starts in the white screen with HTC logo, then the colours apear making a cross, but after time this goes slower and slower until the cross is not ever made again.
The colours appear trying to make a cross and diappear and comming back again, and this goes on for ( i left it once for 1/2 an hour)
I will give it a go with the 5.7
thanks for the help.
Really, i heave my phone for one month now and it is my first android thing.
Never worked with linux etc etc.
What does "press the OJ" means ??
oj = optical joystick
@dave7802
thanks for the answer but i have the bootloop also when i do a manual restart without flashing anything.
i use defrost 5.7
i did a restart after flashing
bye
strange thing to happen. it must be in the ROM because it wasn't happening on the stock ROM.
so try another ROM some like cyanogen or opendesire. is it happening also?
Wel, i've come to the point that i think "WTF", it works and the only thing is the start/reboot.
I'm not going to re-re-re-re sign in to my google account, and not want to re-re-re-re-enter my mail account again.
Thanks to "olaxe" i know how to start the phone wthout taking out the battery.
anyway, everybodie, thanks for reading etc.
OK so you guys are still having the same issue.
Can we provide as much info as possible,
As i use DeFrost 5.7 and i just done a normal reboot and its working fine,
if its a problem with the ROM everyone would have the issue,
All i can think is a MOD you have installed is conflicting,
So some info you can provide:
What MODS are you running / installing, like Super Circle Battery, or Custom HAVS and SVS?
What version where they developed for?
i.e. are you installing MODS that where developed for an older version of defrost? as the frameworks change on each version and so do the HAVS and SVS
If your not flashing anything how about installing it?
It could be an app you used worked for an older version, and since the update its no longer working?

You say you have not flashed anything? and then you said you restarted after flashing? i dont follow?
What settings are you using and apps do you have installed?
What are you doing in clockwork recovery, are you wiping then installing JUST DEFROST then letting your system start up?
or
Are you flashing a couple of things like defrost and super circle battery?
Dave,
A nephew, who ownes a desire and is "into android" from the moment of the first googlephone, was going to root my desire.
The great misstake (we found out after we've dit it) was that he used a version of unrevoke witch was mend for use with amoled and i own a slcd.
So my phone would'nt show anything anymore. Only the bootscreen when pressed vol down and power.
I've followed several advises of diehards, have put "this.zip" on the sdcard, "that.zip" and even "ifthisdon'twork.zip" shoot me.
All i got in the bootscreen was "no image" "no image or wrong image" and "version is older".
After a week a guy on a dutch forum told me to download some files to my computer, take the sdcard out of the phone, connect the phone to the computer and then type the following:
3. Typ in je commandprompt:
code:
1
2
3
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom210.zip
After that the phone came back to live and i was happy as a child.
After that i did the unrevoked thing with the latest version and the phone was rooted.
Put the sdcard back, formatted it whitin the phone and after that i placed the defrost 5.4 on the root of the sdcard.
Did the full wipe, dalvikwipe and flashed the defost 5.4
After a while i had the defrost up and running.
In the defrost setup i found the defrost addon.
downloaded it (all IN the phone) and after that pressed "install".
The phone shuts down a screen appears with the one droid and a box, the phone restarts and is up and running.
Then i found in the defrost setup a file "no adds"
Installed that to and then the troubles start.
Hangs in the bootscreen.
I can only start the phone when the power is completely turned of ( battery out) or with vol down, power and trackball pressed at the same time.
Hi
Im running oxygen with oxygen r2 hboot without any EXT partitions on PVT-4 S-FF Desire GSM. I've got problems with apps on it. Everything works fine and after some time I can't unlock my phone. I'm pressing the power button and screen is black, only hardware buttons are highlihting. So I'm removing battery and restarting it. After that it starts to behave strange. When I try to launch any app only screen goes black and nothing happen. Also widgets are gone. It touches all apps i have installed on my phone. I even fully wiped my phone an the problem starts after BSOD when trying to unlock it. Did anyone ever faced this prob? Please, answer.
Hello!
I purchased the tablet (SM-P600 WiFi model) a few months back. I rooted when I bought and it was working without any problems, but today I tried to install this "boot animation", and it put my device into a soft brick. When I try to boot the device, first the initial Samsung logo shows up, then it's just blank screen without any sound and after a while (by the time device would normall boot), it justs restarts again and repeats the same thing again. I am able to access recovery (TWRP, installed it and made first backup 2 days ago) and download mode as well.
I've tried to recover backup I made 2 days ago (fully working) but it doesn't fix anything. The bootloop continues.
To clarify some things, I'm running on 4.3 (MJ6) stock, flashed SELinux Permissive kernel yesterday, but it was working fine until now.
This is the actual boot "animation": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.livelogcat
I installed, and after trying to reboot, the bootloop problems started
I hope you can help me Thank you in advance.
After some fiddling around, finally downloading stock firmware (slow wifi here) from sammobile.com and flashing it with ODIN, I've recovered from the bootloop. I am still interested though in why it happened in the first place. Can anyone please provide me with some insight ?
Thank you anyway
After trying to restore backup from 2 days ago (which was working perfectly fine), there again is no boot animation after initial boot logo, no sound, but if I press power key and any of the capacitive touch buttons, home key, etc., the tablet vibrates but nothing appears on the screen. It's getting kind of weird.
EDIT:
I just tried flashing stock firmware again, and after only restoring /data/, things like home button, capacitive buttons, Settings button in Quick Settings/Notification etc. don't work. Can anyone help me with restoring the data I had from that working backup?
Titanium Backup can extract apps and data from TWRP/CWM backups. It's kind of a slow process, but it works.

I actually tried that, I have PRO version of Titanium Backup, but it only found a SINGLE app from the whole working backup (About 7GB). I also tried Nandroid Backup Explorer which only found one app (with data) as well, most of the others (some were even totally missing) had no data at all. After manually examining the backup, there actually was only 1 app data folder in /data/data/. No WiFI settings or anything else either.
So I have the tablet restored with most of the apps. But every single one of them (except one that doesn't even hold any permanent data that I know of) has lost their data. I have since flashed CWM because it always worked for me.
At least you're up and running again. I tried this logcat app (over a year ago) on my N10 and my N7, both got a bootloop as well.

Hello,
During/after "long" calls ( >4mn), my screen becomes irresponsive (the digitizer). It's happend every time and it's very annoying. I was thinking it was the fault of my previous rom (PureNexus) but recently flashed CM13 and the issue is still happening. i can restart the phone by pressing on power button during 6s, system seems to work, fingerprint unlocks the phone, power button shows the start menu, but digitizer frozen.
I have the 16gb version (can't make backups, so it's really annoyng to switch to another rom), CM13 last snapshot, Systemless root & xposed.
Thank's in advance guys
edit:
So the issue has become very troublesome, screen didn't turn on or the phone reboot in calls.
Decided to flash PureNexus 7, solved!
However the problem come back when i flashed elemental x kernel. Desactivated DT2W and now the phone didn't seems to freeze!
I've been running LeeDroid 5.2.1 for years, S-OFF and Bootloader unlocked. I did a full wipe and decided to try LineageOS, got stuck at the bootup logo. So I gave up and went with the latest LeeDroid 5.3.3. Upon installation it actually boots but the home button doesn't work. I've reinstalled numerous times. I tried to update the firmware (I think it was updated already). I tried flashing the latest from https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/8-0-htc-10-oreo-firmware-t3756126 and flashing the andybones firmware from here (I didn't just do the finger print modules): https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/htc-10-leedroid-homebutton-t3533913. I also tried going into extreme power saver mode https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/home-button-issues-t3386104 I also tried force stopping the finger print app https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/home-button-issues-t3386104
Still no luck. I know the home button worked just before I went down this road so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
I've even tried to go back to my NAND backup of LeeDroid 5.2.1, gets stuck on boot like LineageOS.
Any thoughts on how to get my home button working on a fresh install of LeeDroid 5.3.3?
THANKS!
