DHD won't stop rebooting and force closing apps after lock screen! Help please

My phone is rooted and I have had many custom roms on my phone. I decided to flash Virtuous Unity rom today, did a full wipe first, flashed and did a reboot and now once I get past the lockscreen a bunch of system force closes come up and after about 30 seconds it reboots again! Is my phone bricked? I have managed to get into recovery mode a couple times and even tried flashing other, previous roms that I have worked before and the same thing happens! I honestly don't know what to do can anybody help?!

try wipe and flash the rom again.

Go into recovery mode and choose advanced, then Wipe Dalvik Cache; go back and choose factory reset, after this flash Full Wipe 1.5 ext 4 and i recommend to flash CoreDroid Rom, to have a running system, otherwise ARHD Rom; after this i think you will have success. I had a similar experience with another rom and this helped me.

Yes as Neo XL said you need to wipe everything and then install a fresh ROM. Sometimes things just get a bit buggy for no apparent reason and all it needs is a wipe.

Also double check the md5 matches, many problems are caused by corrupted downloads

I finally got it back to normal. it was very frustrating trying to hit the power button and restart into recovery mode when force closes are literally popping up every 2 seconds. I did a full wipe/factory reset and I wiped delvik cache. I then flashed MIUI (none of my Sense ROMs would load for some reason), and used rom manager to flash the new Unity ROM, which worked. For some reason, I am having difficulty flashing ROMs directly via Clockwork (mainly sense-based ones).. but If I go through ROM manager, it usually works..

Next time don´t wait, until you can hit the power button; remove short the battery and then restart by holding volume down.

You might want to try reinstalling clockwork. Dont do it via ROM Manager, get the latest proper release of CWM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003723&highlight=clockworkmod
Follow the instructions on how to install it but do verify the MD5 and the SHA-1 tags using a program called Exactfile.

i just tried to flash this rom today and had the same issue on inspire 4g... did a full wipe and install through clockwork and i had your problem 3 times.. first time was when i tried to use htc sense acct... second and third the rom was fine for about 10 minutes then just had all these system force closes and reboots... i was under the impression that flashing a rom though rom manager wasnt really the proper way to flash roms.. im still new to all this coming from the iphone world... i was really interested in trying out the virtuous unity rom... have you had anymore FC issues since flashing through rom manager??

[Q] hensemod problem

Hello,
I've installed Hensemod a few times now, without any problems the first time I boot the phone.
Only after that, when restarting or turning the phone on again, it takes very long to start, like it's installing again and then the internal memory is suddenly full, even though I had about 100mb when turning the phone off. Also, all apps I installed are gone. In the applications list (in settings) they seem to still be there, but they're all 0kb and there's no shortcuts to them in the programs overview... Like I said, I've installed the Hensemod a few times now, and every time this happens.
Anyone knows how to solve this? I really like this rom, I can finally install and update all apps I want without the phone becoming unusable because of full internal memory! Thanks!
Carolien

I used HenseModv3 is a nice ROM, u must have to wipe all the data, cache and dalvick cache in the CWM recovery section, then install the HenseMod ROM.
If any other problem, plz share.

I followed all the steps stated in the development forum post, it works fine, just cant restart the phone because it will stop working...

My phone just continuesly restart...

Plug off ur battery, then go to CWM recovery, try to intall any other/different ROM.
I install each ROM by above method,i didn't use fastboot uncheck option.

Never mind I was just being stupid... I wiped the cache partition and not the dalvik cache. Sorry about that! Let's see if it will work now. Installing rom at the moment.

And again... first boot worked fine, after that I'm stuck in a bootloop now... Just like couldzxz. Too bad! I'll have to try yet another mod. Hope the next update of hensemod will solve this!

yes, u can try different custom ROM if any problems with a particular ROM
wait for next updates from Henry_01

I got stuck in bootloop too. I reqlly like the rom but well.. :/

Okay, i've seen your problems.
I've tested latest build, but didnt rebooted it.
I suggest you all use a previous version (3).
Problem can be also kernel related.
I don't have time now (exams), I will make a proper working build after some weeks.
Don't hesitate to post here further, I want to know if it is ROM or phone related.
BIG EDIT: i will include link for version 3.
Thanks to djpc for a new hack which will solve reboot/kernel/overclock problems.
Expect a build and a proper test on friday or saterday.
I will change links now so that you will get a good version lol.

Somehow, the fifth time in installed the latest Hensemod rom, it worked like a charm. I can reboot, have installed and updated all apps I wanted and still got like 90mb remaining. Fantastic! Finally after 6 months I have the phone I wanted.
First and second install I couldn't reboot
Third install I got stuck in a bootloop
Fourth install gapps crashed every 2 seconds (due to calendar and contacts synchronization)
Fifth install = perfect!
I don't know how it happened, I just kept on installing this one so I could copy another rom on the sd card since I don't have an adapter or card reader for it.
Thanks!

Any idea why no rom will work? (CDMA)

I recently recieved my One V and finally decided on rooting/installing a custom rom. I came from an Optimus V and had no problems installing a custom rom in that.
However it seems that no matter what kernel/rom I use they eventually lock up within the first 5 minutes of booting and restart. I've tried practically everything and can't get them to work. I wanted to ideally run the CDMA Pacman Rom w/ the Supersick kernel. Any help would be greatly appreciated so I have can have this working before work tomorrow.

Did you do a full wipe ???

"It ain't workin" isn't enough information for anyone to troubleshoot from.
Be more specific on what you did, which instructions you followed, what ROM and what kernel, what sort of computer you're running, where you're downloading from, and the steps you are taking. If none of the ROMs are working, the problem is probably not the ROM, if you know what I mean...

Full wipe as in? (sorry, still a bit new). I did do a factory reset in CWM before installing whichever ROM I was trying at the time. I wiped all caches too.

I used the HTC One V AIO Toolkit to unlock the bootloader, get root, install CWM 6.0, create a backup and then install a kernel (I used the Super Sick JB one). From there I used CWM to gain access to my SD card and transferred over the CDMA Pacman ROM (after wiping everything clean) and then installed the ROM. It booted up successfully however as stated in a minute or so it would freeze up and restart itself. Even if I don't do anything after a reboot it'll still reboot itself anyways.
I did a bit of research and I'm thinking it could be due to the OTA Radio update from 2-3 weeks ago? I'm at my bootloader now and it says I have radio version 1.00.00.0928.
Any further help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. It's worth noting that I've tried many different Kernels (repeating all the steps above with full wipes every time) and different ROMs that were supported by the kernels. I've even tried to restore my phone back to stock and it just starts skipping at the VM Boot screen.
Oh, and I'm running Windows 7.

You mean the Rom booted normally right ?? If yes then the problem is with the Rom

Pardon my ignorance but that just doesn't make sense. I've tried several different ROMs with the correct kernel's (Pacman, CM9/10, AOKP JB) and it's all the same scenario. They all boot (or occasionally don't boot and restart themselves at the boot animation) and then reboot themselves once they're pass the lock screen.
Like I said even currently if I restore my stock rom file it just loops at the VM Boot animation (which doesn't play fluidly).

Figured out the issue . It was radio version 1.00.00.0928 messing up my kernel.

Virus???? Idk but phone is messed up

Ok here it goes. my network service is off so i use my droin inc for games and such. running custom rom wildstang83 IceCream Scencless 1.0. im not sure what happened to my phone but i left for 3 days and come back to my phone being totally jacked up. It wot dl apps the google play reverted back to the old market icon. wont save my passwords for google sighn in. every time i go to youtube it says to re dl the google play services. im sure other stuff is messed up too. i have tried to flash another rom but when it gets loaded back up it keeps saying process. whatever failed and there a bunch of those that loop and i have to pull battery. when i try to factory reset it says everything was formatted but when i reboot phone its the sme as it was before apps and all. So is there anyone out there who can help me with this. Sorry if i posted in the wrong place or what not. i wasnt sure where to post it cuz its kinda an advanced question but not really a question just need help.

not a virus but it does sound like your phone might have exhausted all the space in the /data folder. I had a similar thing happen to me before I rooted and fixed my phone where i exhausted the space, itt went a factory reset and put the phone into an unusable state.
i don;t know anything about the rom you are running but are rooted and have CWM installed? if so, you should be able flash a new ROM to your device, GAPPS and optionally, the low space disk fix.

Yes i do have cwm but i tried to flash a new rom via the recovery section. after i choose the zip to flash everything goes as expected untill after the reboot and it goes into the setup part where u have to put gmail password and stuff in then it basically freezes up with unlimited process failures. but i will try again. cant hurt from where it is now.

if you are not doing so already, i would wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing the rom. that may fix the FCs.
I would also suggest you run a newer jelly bean ROM like Tiny;s 5-16 with his version of GAPPS(4-05) version plus the low space disk fix so you can maintain parity with what is the latest.
I am currently using evervolve 6-25 and it is working well for me.
the reason I say that is these newer JB roms have the ability to let you skip the activation easily. I don;t know if it was some feature of GB roms but the activation wizard in the JB roms seem to be better my opinion.

When switching to a different ROM, it is crucial to wipe /system. This can be a source of FCs. Also, if switching, it is also a good idea to do factory reset.

If this doesnt work i will try jb roms but i would hate to have to dump the dev that im useing. there the most stabe roms i have come across so far

what do u mean wipe /system. where do i find that. only reason i ask is cuz maybe ive never done that. but i have never had a problem withthe other 15 roms i have flashed before so thats why im so confused about what happened to my phone. all i did was shut it off and leave it home. nothing changed from my daily use before that and it was working top notch before i shut it off

im getting settings fc. youtube fc, my uploads fc, market fc, clock widget fc, internet fc, rss reader fc, htc sence fc, all those off of a fresh flash ad new sd card
Just lost my bckups that were saved on sd card so now i cant even get on it i dont get it. its not bricked but yet it i unstabe to run any rom but the preivious saved backup (now there deleted)

maybe the rom you downloaded is corrupt. worst case scenerio is that your phone is on it;s last legs.....
i would suggest you try downloading the JB rom and Gapps plus the low space fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050930
it;s kind of proven to work in my opinion. the 5-16 build is pretty stable.
what I do is flash the rom zip, gapps zip and low space zip, then wipe cache and dalvik. it probably should not make a difference but I am using TWRP as my recovery instead of CWM.
goodluck!

Thank u and its still not working. probably just takeing a dump on me now it is just bootlooping.

when i do a factory reset i get a wipe completed. but it says "no app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext" could that be part of the issue?? ive never noticed that before

i don;t know if switching to TWRP might help you but it might be worth a try. maybe a coincidence but the last time I had a screw up on my Dinc installing a ROM, i was using CWM. I switch right after that. I think i did read something about TWRP specifically supporting the EXT4 Low space fix.
maybe someone more knowledgable can chime in.

i will try it but it is doing the same thing on every rom i have tried to flash. ive tried 6 different roms so far and i have ran them all in the past so im incined to think its jacked. and is there a specific twrp for the different roms or can i just dl the latest version and it will work

[Q] Reboot problem, but a little different

Okay, so I have been a flashaholic for the past couple of years and been on the AOKP nightlies for a very long time.
However, since the last month or so, every time I try to flash (clean and dirty) a new ROM or upgrade to a newer nightly, the flashing process goes on pretty smooth as expected. But, here is the thing.... after booting up fine, it starts to optimize the apps and I see it going through the entire cycle of apps. When all the apps are optimized, it says "Starting apps" and this is when I feel a vibrate and the phone reboots and does this over and over. My only way out of this is to boot it back into Recovery (TWRP 2.5) and restore my backup and sadly continue using what I had before this exercise.
I have tried various combinations of wipes, fix permissions, kernels, radios, etc. and am totally stumped here!!
Help please as it bugs me to no end when I see crazy new features the newer ROMs are dishing out and I cannot taste them

by clean what are your actual steps you mind elaborating a bit more of your steps, and with which ROM this happens on have you tried a stable as oppose to a nightly to see if it will fix your errors, as far as flashing do you ever format system in mounts and storage when you flash ROMs ???

Clean: Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Format System, Data. I haven't tried formatting the Internal SD or Preload partitions yet.
This happens with quite a few ROMs... I have tried SlimBean, CM 10.1, AOKP M2, PA so far. See the same behavior on nightlies or stables. I haven't tried Stock ROM yet... maybe should give that a try as well.
Let me know if I can give you more information to help me out.

since it seems to be happening on every ROM for you i would suggest you try going back to stock and re-root and try again, it doesn't take that long it just really sucks to do everything from scratch, but its the only way you are going to know where this problem is coming from also if you are on TWRP 6 that might be the problem everyone has been having lately it sometimes works sometimes doesn't have you tried opening ROM MANAGER and fixing permissions only from within the app...see if that squashes your bugs just trying to give some ideas ....

I would hate to go back to stock and re-root all over again. But if all else fails... I guess that remains as my only option.
I am on TWRP 2.5 for quite some time now and have successfully flashed using that numerous times before this problem started... not sure what you mean by TWRP 6 (you mean 2.6?)
I do not have ROM Manager on my phone, will give that a shot as well before resorting to the "Stock" option.
Thanks for your help!

yeah i ment 2.6 lol DOOHH!! and yeah you def sound like you know what you are doing so im sure you will figure it out just wanted to give you some ideas ... and for the record its always nice to take a break but good luck bro sorry i couldn't help you more

It was an issue with the Kernel I guess!!
Flashing SlimBean b8 + gapps followed by the UBER Kernel after wiping the hell out of everything as my last ditch effort I went past the "Starting apps" while I was feverishly holding onto the Vol UP + DN to get into recovery if it fails again.... to my surprise, it went past that screen and there was the start screen I have been looking forward to.... what drama )
I guess will follow all my flashes with the UBER kernel going forward.

awesome man!! glad you got it fixed - Like i said i knew you would figure it out good stuff man, now you got more knowledge and can help others if they run into the same issue happy flashing ! take care
