[Q] defrost freezes in reboot, but starts normal

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.

Something was bound to go wrong...

Hello,
well I read a lot about rooting and flashing custom Roms the last few days and I figured I would give it a try.
I really hope I didn't break my phone, hopefully one of you Android / Defy Gurus can help me out
I rooted my phone with Super-One-Click and that worked fine, then I installed Recovery Bootstrap for Defy from a thread in this forum (can't find it at the moment) but it is this one: "bootstrap-recovery-clockwork-mod"
Anyway, that worked fine too... I make a backup (backup/restore->backup). Then did multiple factory resets and deleted the Cache as well as the dalvik cache multiple times. And then installed CM7 off the SD card.... the first time it didn't work, and it booted back to the setup of blur... I tried it again this time activating "Fix Permissions" before install... it then worked and it booted up CM7 fine.
I then wanted to go ahead and install The Google apps from here: goo-inside.me for CM7 ... did the same thing wiping the caches and then installing off of SD card... rebooted and I get stuck with the motorola logo... which just stays there and does not go away.
I rebooted multiple times (by taking out the battery) entered recovery mode with the volume button (this is the standard android recovery) tried clearing cache and rebooting, same problem... tried "wipe data / factory reset" same problem. No matter what I do it doesn't boot past the motorola logo.
Any ideas? I read about RSDLite and downloaded a stock sbf but my phone isn't recognized by RSDLite while not booted... even in the recovery utlitiy no connection is made (USB Debugging is off I think).
Any help would be very much appreciated. I am kind of freaking out, I just got the phone a few days ago
Thanks so much,
MrPink52

before u turn your phone on hold vol+ key until it loads the bootloader for rsd lite

Didn't want to make the first post overly long or complicated so here a quick update.
I read somewhere else that I could get a connection in RSDLite by holding volume up while booting and entering the bootloader... that seemed to work, so chose this SBF File "JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0" from and developers and told RSDLite to flash it... it said complete...the display then turned black... and now I don't have any image at all. It is still found in RSDLite but nothing happens when I boot... and I don't even see the logo anymore.
Now I will definetly stop trying until someone here can hopefully help me.... it seems like me trying by myself is only making things worse
Please tell me there is still hope for my Def.
Thanks,
MrPink52

When the red M logo is on the screen the led should turn blue for a few seconds, at this point press the Down Volume key & you should then go into ClockworkMod Recovery. I would try clearing the cache from there or maybe even doing a factory reset.

you will probably have to flash stock and start over

I already tried that, like I said it didn't start the ClockWorkMod but instead the standard Android recovery Utlity which only has limited options... but now as I have described, the problem has gotten worse... I can't even get in there anymore after flashing with RSDLite.
Help!

I took the one listed for Germany. My phone isn't branded so I tried to flash it with the sbf that seemed to fit.
Can you tell me exactly how I can do this correctly?
I may be doing something wrong with RSD Lite... but slowly I am really affraid I have bricked my Defy for good
MrPink52

after you flash go into stock recovery vol- key and factory reset then reboot should work fine then

pmp326 said:

That gives me hope... the problem is I can't press vol- after flashing... the screen just stays black... I can reflash it and I get white writing on the screen "Updating SW" but when its finished the screen just turns black again... and neither Vol+ nor Vol- during boot does anything.
Any further advice?

try another sbf the one ur flashing isnt the right one

it should show a gray motorola logo when u go to boot

i think this is the one u neeFull SBF name ::JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-6.1_TMNAB_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PD S03C_USAJRDNFRYOTMDE_P016_A013_M005_HWp3_Service1F F.sbfd

Do you have a direct link? I couldn't find it on the and-developers site... so a direct link would be great!
Until then I guess it can't hurt to try various sbf files to see if one works.
The only thing I am afraid of, is that my battery will dy during the flashing... is there a way to charge the battery in my current state? Or will it only charge when Android is booted?
Thanks for your support so far,
MrPink52

go here and follow directions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175801

after reading that is the only one i could find for ya hope it works for ya

if u can get into a recovery it will charge when plugged in

I have tried some of the sbf files... and tried this one: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_177-003
that seemed to work, at least I got the logo back and could enter the Android utilities... and it seems like it is booting up blur right now... wow... what a scare.
Don't know if I will try to move to CM7 again anytime soon... I don't know what went wrong since I tried to follow tutorials.
But again thank you for your help.. I will update here again when I know for sure that everything is working

your fine dont let that scare you just wrong file its not the end of the world anyways enjoy!!!

I just did mine last night and at times it was a little scary, being the 1st time I had tried to flash a phone. I followed these directions to a point.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897445 I also used these directions pretty much combined the 2 to get the job done. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
When I got to the point where CM7 RC1v2 was installed along with Google Apps I then rebooted and let it all start and create all the necessary caches. I then flashed the nightly from the sd card.
I did NOT do the 3g stuff mentioned in the instructions, There is an app that will let you set your baseband for your country in the app drawer called Defy Baseband

I don't think the guy has 2nd-init installed properly. Or the rooting was not done correctly. He must go into the stock recovery to perform the wipe/clear before he can proceed on flashing another sbf. I would suggest the OP to flash any froyo 2.2.2 then.
Rooting and CWM could easily get ruin if one doesn't install it properly. Next time please confirmed root is working by installing apps that required root access before attempting installing CWM. Suggesting 2nd-init v1.9 is good to start with as it fairly stable which also come build-in custom recovery.

he posted that he can not enter stock recovery. This is caused (probably) by a bad sbf flash. I would try flashing the sbf you said that you actually got to boot. A properly flashed sbf will give you stock recovery. Pull battery for 30 seconds re insert it, then hold vol- and power the phone on. Continue to hold vol- for 5 seconds or so. If you insert your battery and the phone automatically starts to boot then it is too late and you should have already been holding down vol- in which case you would want to press and continue to hold vol- prior to inserting the battery.

any ideas ppl ??

I have seen in the past, people who report successful sbf flashing with rsd but still no boot or recovery. None that I tried or anyone else tried to help ever got their phones to boot. You are in a bootloop after flashing a sbf because you need to wipe in stock recovery, BUT you don't have stock recovery! There is only so much that you can do without having recovery when you are in bootloop. Not to rain on your parade but I honestly believe it is some sort of hardware issue. If RSD reports that all CG md5 checksum's match after it flashes then you should have stock recovery. But you don't????? I think it is hardware

I'm begining to start thinking your rsdlite might be the root cause here.
You might need to try another PC to flash or trying another rsdlite version.
Were you flashing this in sbf format??

I thought of this too however his situation isn't the first of its kind and other people with the same problem tried multiple combo's of RSD ver #s and different pc's with no success. Plus I would think if it were RSD problem it wouldn't reports a successful flash and then verify the flashed CG md5's. But I say definitely give it a shot on multiple different computers with multiple OS's! When I was having problems with RSD I started using sbf_flash in linux with GREAT success. Unfortunately this never helped anyone else with this problem! But anything is worth a shot.

Its not seem to be h/w problem, as its a brand new phone from box....
But i took phone home, gonna install new rsd and will try on other pc.
I will post results.
As i read more ppl with same problem.
I will post later details of what i hD in the phone before, maybe someone can identify the original region and sfb phone came with

o.k
i got some progress...
i installed on a reformated laptop , new rsd 5.5
installed drivers , and tested flashing the orange 112 version.
phone is powered up after flash and goes to recovery .
i then wiped all and wait , phone is powered up.
but after about 10-20 secs it reboots.
i then wiped again , and flashed nordic 2.2.2 version.
phone is powered up , also recovery and wipe.
phone kkep rebooting after few secs from full turn on.
i can access menu .
i guess this is better then not booting and no recovery.
what should i try now to fix the reboots ?

o.k

hmm. just seems weird that RSD would flash successful, verify CG md5s as "match" after flashing and still be the cause of the problem. I guess stranger things have happened! CRAPPY MOTOROLA SOFTWARE

How to fix it:
Download this SBF and Flash it
Root your Phone
Download 2nd Init 1.4.2 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery
Download and install this Nandroid Backup
Enter Recovery, Wipe Data/Cache
After wiping, turn off your phone
Turn it on and get immediately into Bootloader mode
Flash this Fixed SBF
Delete Data/Cache again and reboot.
You WONT be able to install full SBFs of any Éclair or Froyo since these Androids have lower CG Versions.
**NOTE*: I just rephrased the original post since it can be a bit confusing, it is linked as source below.
**NOTE2**: If you are using a non-Chinese defy, DO NOT USE THE CAMERA FLASH while on the Chinese rom, it WILL kill your LED.

How to Install CM7 after Installing a Full Gingerbread SBF: Ok, first of all do all the steps above on "Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom"
Root your Defy (Using SuperOneClick 1.7 and not 1.9).
Install SystemRecovery from GoAPK. If you install 2nd init, you'll just get into a boot loop and have to start over.
Reboot to recovery. Do a factory wipe, then do the cache wipe.
Install CM7 .Zip and then gapps zip file. DO NOT wipe again, you'll just go back to 2.2.2 CEE (if you accidentally do this, you can pick up again from step 3).
profit!
thx

Well, after long play with it.... Something is realy weird!
No metter what rom im trying to flash, orher then the jordan one that worked, both 2.3.3 i try before now give me black screen, the 2.3.4 give me phone restart every 10 secs. And i cant seem to install cwm without hqving boot loops . ...
Ideas?

Delete all drivers and redownload and install then uninstall RSD Lite and reinstall to 4.9 ( Google it) then reboot your pc.. dont connect your defy yet do it later as its says in my little guide
then open RSD Lite and boot your defy to bootloader (Power + vol up) dont Connect defy yet.
choose nordic 2.2.2 in to RSD Lite then connect your Defy and let it install drivers.. then Press Start...
that worked for me wen i got lost and no one told me what to do soo i indprovise

Hi,

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737899..
fastboot flash boot boot.img etc.. which said all was well..
But now find that my phone will not boot up, doesn't get past the Google and unlock screen.
I've tried all combinations of volume buttons, I can get to the fasboot menu where I can choose either Recovery Mode, Power Off, Start or Restart bootloader.
None of these appear to do anything, recovery goes to the google a screen followed by an Android on it's back with an exclamation mark over it.. then goes to the Google and unlocked icon screen and stays there...
I fear my phone is bricked... Please help..

But now find that my phone will not boot up, doesn't get past the Google and unlock screen.
I've tried all combinations of volume buttons, I can get to the fasboot menu where I can choose either Recovery Mode, Power Off, Start or Restart bootloader.
None of these appear to do anything, recovery goes to the google a screen followed by an Android on it's back with an exclamation mark over it.. then goes to the Google and unlocked icon screen and stays there...
I fear my phone is bricked... Please help..

1.) Your phone is far from bricked at all. You have access to the boot loader (i.e. the screen with the options). The recovery you're seeing is stock recovery. All you need to do is go into boot loader and fastboot flash recovername (CWM) and you will have your custom recovery back to wipe data and reinstall a rom or restore a nandroid backup

Mine is doing the same thing, weird thing is, it was working since yesterday on jellybean, it just randomly froze this morning and and now won't boot..
im currently at work so i don't have admin rights to do a fastboot flash..
any idea why it would randomly stop working when i havn't flashed anything on it besides the jb rom?

Sorted..
Thanks for the comments.. yeah i was over-reacting a bit there..
I downloaded the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, got a stock rom form gopogle, flashed it.. back to normal, well, it will be after i restore the CWM backup i took.. phew..
Thanks again

Still stuck
I'm also stuck in the same situation(google with the unlock screen). I fear I'm a little more stuck. I also can see the recovery/restartbootloader screen. However, everything I try still comes back to that same google screen and gets hung up. Need some help!

this has happened twice today and i think it from using volume+

Boot into recovery, wipe cache, Reboot

[Q] HTC Desire HD boots but black screen afterwards

So I have a rooted HTC desire HD with Jellytime on it. All was working great till recently when it would shut down by itself. Today after I wanted to test a new boot screen from Rom toolkit I restarted it and while the boot screen worked great after it finished I see a black screen (backlit so I know its on). I tried going to the bootloader but after I try to go to wipe cache for example it restarts by itself and it gets stuck after the boot screen... Any ideas?

ok an update seems that if I go to the recovery via down button and power it lets me do actions. All this time I went to recovery mode when phone was shut down and plugged into a power source. I did a wipe cache and now it says android is upgrading and now it finished saying starting apps. Hope it didnt get stuck there because it keeps doin the cycle animation but doesn't do anything else.. I ll leave it be for a bit like this... :/ Had to restart it by removing the battery after 20 minutes... same problem as before still...

another update... just before it goes to a black screen when the boot screen finishes an orange light appears just briefly (where the green light appears when it charges)

Wipe everything (system data cache) and install a stock-ish ROM. What happens?

I flashed the rom again and wiped data and all seem to be ok now. I ll update this because I saw many people have similar problems... thanks in advance for any help!

Have the same problem.
I bought this with the problem that it keeps rebooting all the time.
I unlock the bootloader with htcdev,root with Easy Ace Tool,flashed the new cyanogenmod 11,
but did the same .
At least 3-4 rebooting before open normally.
I said that it must be ROM issue and flashed the KK-LegacyCarbon-4.4.
Did the things should be...flash the ROM and then the boo.img separately.
Now i have black screen and the only screen i am able to get is bootloader and the recovery 4EXT.
I reflased cyanogenmod back but nothing happened,any thoughts???
