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?

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.

Hey all, I'm having a problem that I can't seem to figure out at all. Last night I flashed Myn's 2.2, the colin_ph battery tweak, and the stock kernel that is modded to be able to run the tweak. I also flashed the riptide theme and couple add ons to it as well. I backed all my apps and data up with Titanium backup pro prior to flashing anything. Before I went to bed last night, I put my phone down while titanium was restoring everything. This morning when I woke up, I played around with it for about an hour, made sure that the battery tweak was running correctly, and surfed the web a little bit. I then remembered that Titanium recommended to reboot after a restore when switching from a custom rom to a custom rom( I was running CM6 and Snap7.6&turbo beforehand). So after rebooting, before my homescreen can even load I get a error that says "adroid.process.acore" not found. And another one that I cant remember, and from that point on it just keeps boot looping. This has happened 3 times in a row, so I know that something is wrong.
Any ideas of how I can fix this? When I restore my base Myns2.2 Nand backup I have no problems at all, or even when I reboot with all of the above mentioned flashed before restoring my apps and data with titanium I have no problems, only after doing the initial reboot after installing all apps and data do I have this problem.
Update: Just rebooted with Myns2.2, battery tweak, and theme and had no problems what so ever, so I know that somewhere in the process of restoring my apps and data and then rebooting following that, something is going wrong.
Try wiping your dalvik-cache and see if that helps
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.
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?
Hi,
I am having a really odd and very frustrating issue with the latest CM7 Stable Build on my device.
I have been using the latest stable since its release back in November.
I ensured a clean wipe and install of CM 7.1.0.1 and setup my phone accordingly and Nandroid Back Up around a Week later as the Device was behaving as intended.
Sadly, I am now plagued with the following issue which occurs without any common trigger....
I will be using the device which will be behaving normally and it will suddenly, normally when screen is off... reboot and enter a Boot Loop (CM7 Robot will either be frozen solid or will keep rebooting to CM7 Robot) which seems to continue until a battery pull.
I will then restart the device and it sometimes boots straight away though sometimes hangs for a while. Once booted it boot to the 'Setup your device' Screen, from which point onwards you are required to Re-Enter your Logins for Google and such like. All settings and sync profiles are normally missing/deleted so requires setting up of all apps requiring logins etc.
As you can imagine, the above is quite an inconvenient as it normally happens when I actually need to use the device
I have tried reinstalling a clean CM7 over the top as well as wiping and formatting the SD card.
Neither seem to have solved the issue.
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
It is also worth noting that while the device will charge off USB, it will not allow usb tethering or any form of USB Mounting etc.
Cheers
Jason

cm7 issues.
sounds like your in quite a pickle my friend.
i used to get your reboot issues (the bootloops) but that was because my phone was overclocked to over 700. i never got the setup device screen though.
when you say youve tried a clean install over cm7 have you factory reset the device as well as deleteing the dalvik cache??
also my sound stupid but have you tried your backup to see if it starts again??
it sounds like something has became quite corrupted.
have you installed any new apps recently or changed anything in the system files of the phone?
also when you have to go through the set up are all your apps still there afterwards? And when you first flashed it did the tethering work at all?

Yup and while it does restore to a point where I can use my phone quite quickly after however I'm very cautious after - typically it happens a couple of weeks later

No real new recent apps installed and no mods to the system files that I can recall.

All my apps are still installed but many apps require re-setup or accounts for sync require re-adding. Phonebook requires import of contacts however messages remain in place.
I can't recall I think it did or at least USB-Storage did
Do you have a SD ext partition?
I ask because I had similar problems (randomly losing data) with an ext 4 partition, repartitioning my card using ext 3 solved it, also put your dalvik cache and data back into phone memory if it isn't already as that can also cause instability.

Try this....
Run an RUU for wildfire.
- Download (RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_C_Radio_13.45.55.24 _ 3.35.15.19_release_141106_signed) from android forums.
- Connect phone to PC and run RUU
- This downgrads phone OS to eclair (android 2.1)
- Let it do the bizniss
- Re-root with unrevoked 3
- Re-Flash CM7 and gApps
Many thanks Scratch and Arkose,
Since my post last week I have since formatted the SD Card as well as Wiping the Phone as much as possible.
I then flashed and installed the latest CM7 Stable, Radio Package as well as re-setting up the EXT Partition this time as Type 3.
Once up and running I reinstalled all Apps.
Seems to be running okay so far.
Long may it last hopefully.
If not will try last suggesion
Great stuff. Let us know how it goes

A quick update...
Still having issues
I'm noticing that randomly phone process will crash for no apparent reason/cause, normally when off Wifi and on Mobile Data.
Last night was the worst its even been though... at a critical moment when I needed the phone to work... it decided it was having none of it.
Phone kept switching Airplane Mode On and Off causing process.android.com to crash along with most other services So I rebooted only to find that it now was either stuck in Airplane Mode or couldnt enable to Radio (No Phone Signal at all) so I did a battery pull while trying to walk home in the pitch black and rebooted.
The Saga continued even after a battery pull, I eventually as I got in the door was able to use the 'Torch' and recieve a phonecall before all the processes crashed once more...
So I did a battery pull, left the phone for five mins and rebooted. All was well for a while, enabled Wifi, phone seemed happy.
Had to reboot a short while ago, after recieiving a phonecall and text.... grrr... anyone have any suggestions?
I had problem with process restarting. Adw launcher process I downloaded Go Launcher ex I have no problems now.

Hi All,
Having some issues with my Galaxy Note 10.1 which I've had for quite a while now. It's rooted but with Android 5.0 stock rom and a custom kernel.
Just now (like 20mins ago) I tried to enable Adblock plus app, the app said it can't automatically change the settings - even though SuperSU was installed and had no issues with it previously. So like all things thought I'd give it a reboot that ought to clear it out. That didn't work, so tried clearing cache (Dalvik/ART/Cache), Still no joy.
I'm a s/w engineer, but not and android/bootloader expert, so I've tried to grab the dmesg and boot logs which I've attached, I've got some stuff on the internal SD (app data) which I'd like to keep, hence I'm not going for the full wipe.
Please take a look at the logs and see if you can determine how to fix this issue, my initial thoughts were there are some issues with the flash storage (bad sectors/partition table?), if I could grab the image and dd the image again I'd be OK - but I don't know much about about android boot loader/kernel etc so can't say.
Ok it has been fixed by wiping data - but I've lost my data and installed apps!
Is there anyway to find out which file/app is causing the boot loop so I can restore data, delete the offending file?
Well, I shall give a bump to this topic, with a little more info. Though probably not really useful.
First I had stock 5.1.1 deodex pre root etc ROM that, after I tried to insert a nano sim card (mine is a 601 3G model) that got stuck, it entered on a bootloop, I had to open it, take the sim card out, and it was still on a boot loop. Tried to install another image, still bootloop, tried to reinstall the original one I had, still bootloop, wiped data, worked fine.
Then almost 2 weeks later, everything worked fine, went to watch a video, the sound was mute, tried to turn it on but everything looked fine, decided to restart because it would probably fix the problem. Got a bootloop. Wiped the data, everything was fine again.
Now, a little more than 2 weeks later, seems like the wifi is not working, thought all my other devices are, guess it's the same problem, decided to restart it, and bootloop again. I'm currently trying to update my TWRP, and gonna try a different ROM, and wait to see if something like that happens, until then, I wonder what could be happening... I remembered an Asus Device that I had that had different firmware versions for 4.4 and 4.1, so if I tried to flash a 4.4 on a 4.1 firmware it wouldn't work, and for downgrade, the same problem happened, and wondered if Samsung has some difference between versions 4 and 5.
ssj4maiko Let me know if you find a more stable rom - I went back to pretty much stock, but with root as I wanted to use all the Samsung apps, but this constant random bootloops are annoying!
