Did you backup your TA (Trim Area) with Omnius before you had these problems?
If not, your best bet is spending $24 with Alejandrissimo to fix your problems.
(It sounds like your TA is screwed up, so reflashing anything won't help (as you already tried))
(They had this problem when the R800x was first unlocked, but it hasn't reared it's head for a while)

Try using cwm and fixing permissions to see if that helps. It usually corrects a lot of those little errors

Is it overheating? If not then it's probably the system getting overloaded and the kernel taking a crap. It happens some times unfortunately

thanks man , sounds like very helpful solution and im going to get that done by tonight , thanks again , by the way is there any hard reset to this device cause i tried to even flash the device it tells me that the ( unknown source and debbuging must be checked ) and they are both checked and i turn off device wait couple seconds run Flashtool select flashmode and go to file Selected ( XperiaPlay_3.0.1.E.0.88_R800x.ftf ) than wait for the display to say connect device press & hold <---- back button insert USB done but when it reaches 99% it says ( unknown source & debbuging must be checked ) dont know why any ideas though ?
Hi guys... First post here as i seem to be stuck.. My phone is a DHD.
I'm not new to rooting or custom ROM's as i often change the ROM on my phone easily without any problems.. Done it 40-50 times now. Never had a problem. I'm used to the AAHK and know what i'm doing.. However, last night i got fed up of the ROM i had, been having some teething troubles lately so figured i'd put it back to stock and then root again and flash a new ROM, this always solves my problems. Now i always have a few others stored on my SD card incase one won't work (i sometimes get the bad installation, aborted) message and i'm not left without a working ROM, but wanted to unroot and put back to stock so opened the AAHK and proceeded as normal to do so ..
Everything was running fine, writing codes as it should, then when it came to the radio downgrade, it got to a part where it usually moves on to the next stage fairly quickly, but this time it just hung.. I left it a few mins to see if it would carry on, no such luck.. I had no choice but to remove the cable and try again.. Now i'm not a fan of removing cables midway through, but it would have just hung forever so i had no choice..
Anyway.. I can still access the CWM screen and have tried every option to get it to do something, but no matter what i do, i can't get past either the white HTC screen or the Black background with the red triangle.. The files are still there on my SD card obviously, i can access them via a card reader, it's just the phone won't move on as i'm guessing the downgrade being interrupted left it with corrupt data... I would have thought running the AAHK again would have started from scratch and just re-run, but this obviously isn't the case.. Any ideas what to do?

Why are you running the Hack Kit being S-OFF? there is no use in doing that. You could have flashed a different rom from recovery after doing a full wipe and everything might have been solved, if it was a software issue.

Yes i realise that.. That's how i always flashed new ROM's. i could have a new ROM installed in minutes that way, but the reason i was running the hack kit was to put it back to S-ON and stock RUU.. As far as i was aware you had to run the hack kit to put it back to stock, that's the only way of doing it is it not?..
But that's not the problem, my problem now is, getting the phone to show some signs of wanting to get past either screen.

Are you still S-OFF? then flash recovery again and then a custom rom. Problem solve. If you want to revert to stock, then do that first and the set S-ON the second time...just in case.

Yes it is still S-OFF, but it won't let me flash anything, run bootloader, access the SD card or i wouldn't have the problem i have..
If i hold volume down and power, i get the usual screen with fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock and image crc.. I've tried every one of these apart from the simlock with the same results.. Nothing.. If i select recovery, it flashes the white HTC screen as if it's going to boot, then i get the black phone with the red triangle and it won't go any further.. If i hold volume up and power at that stage, it gives me the apply sdcard:update.zip (which i can't seem to access or just don't have, i'm not sure) and the wipe data/factory reset and cache options..
The only thing it tells me on the screen is E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I fear i can't do anything with this phone, even trying to get the hack kit to run is a pain and keeps giving me several errors including the ECHO OFF message. I presume this is because having done the wipe cache and data, i've removed the usb debugging priviliges..

Ryan, from now on, know that if you lie on what you did your phone to someone trying to help you is the worst thing ever. Not only because it won't help to fix it but also because I could also have scr*wed your device by doing some flashing on a messed bootloader.
Lying is the worst strategy ever....I am done. You won't get any help from me anymore. Congrats.

You've misread the situation.. I didn't lie to you about anything, ok, i was unsure of what i'd done, but i certainly didn't ask for help to mislead you and help break my phone. Why would i do that??? I genuinely got stuck with a problem that i didn't know how to get out of.. To be honest i've never had a problem with it before and didn't realise you had to know every single piece of info about it, most of which you forget whilst trying to sort it anyway, and i can't remember if it was flashed previously with a stock ROM or not, but what you mentioned sounded familiar which is why i said i think it might have been, but i can't be 100% certain on that..
I feel bad that you saw it as misleading, as i didn't feel i had been, and that certainly wasn't my intention.. But even though you are unwilling to help me again, i thank you very much for the help you gave me, without you it would still be in a useless state. Thankfully, i have managed to get it working perfectly again and will be more careful in future..

Maybe you don´t have a clue on what happened. What's up with me? I will tell you what is going on...i spend many hours of my life helping people in here and in the Hack Kit IRC Support Channel for free, I do it because I enjoy it and don't expect anything in return.
But the worst thing ever is to come accross someone that lies about what he did to his phone. I have been around this site for about 2 years now and never made a brick, do you know why? because I always make sure to follow instructions and ask people what they did in order to provide the best fix, if possible.
When you spend and hour trying to figure out what is going on and trying to flash something and then find out that a froyo RUU might have been flashed (perhaps, I don´t know, not sure...WTF???) and what you did might have scr*wed his phone, it really makes me angry and feel cheated.
To sum up, my time...my decision...maybe you can help him yourself instead of questioning me.

Like SmOgER said before you Glevitan, i wasn't lying, you just got annoyed with me because i didn't give you 100% of the info you needed, and the only reason for that was because i didn't know it!! When you think you're phone is playing up, you try various ways to get it right again, i'm sorry i don't keep track of every little step i did and i'm sorry this displeased you. But a liar i am not.. The term more appropriate would be clueless!!
You have to accept that us newbies just don't know anywhere near as much about these phones and how they work as you do.. It doesn't mean i lied.. What you see as a misrepresentation of facts doesn't mean i am a liar, it just means i didn't give you the info you wanted, simply because i didn't know it, not that i was withholding it on purpose, THAT would have been bad!!
I am no expert like you, i just root and ROM like most people and hope that it goes right...
Like i said before, i really appreciate the time you took to help me and didn't go unnoticed, and it's great that you help people like me for free, but maybe you should take it a bit easier on the newbies if they're not so expert.. My 1st post asking for help and i already feel like i'm not welcome anymore.. That's pretty bad for such a big community!!
SmOgER.. At least YOU understood where i was coming from..
1. Flashing a Froyo RUU is an important stop on the quick path to bricking your phone, and that warning is splashed all over AAHK and other documentation. That's why glevitan is so upset about not being told of the possibility that you might have done it: it's very bad, and users should know that it's very bad, and it wastes a lot of time.
2. Not knowing what you're doing and messing with your phone, and then not keeping track of what you're doing, is extremely unwise. When helping out on XDA, I personally don't expect everyone to know everything, but taking basic precautions really does seem like common sense.
3. Next time, read similar threads that came before you and ask the community. For example: I have X problem. I have researched and found Y and Z thread links with similar symptoms. I am considering trying what A suggested in Y. Is that the wisest course of action? Then you show that you have done your part in solving your own problem, and the community will respect that, even if you're way off base.
Obviously, I personally wasn't there on teamviewer, so I have no idea about the clueless v. lying thing.

Yes i understand what you're saying, and i appreciate most of it. However, it's not often practical or even possible in some cases to write down or note everything you do in a documented fashion.. And like you might have previously missed, i have flashed various ROM's 40-50 times, and the AAHK has worked perfectly for me everytime except the last where it took it upon itself to just freeze on me, it was a computer issue, not a human error.. Also, why would reflashing a Froyo RUU to a phone that was originally shipped as a Froyo unit cause any problems??
I don't understand that part..
One final note, i did have a look through similar threads, but there are so may threads with similar symptoms that it's hard to sift through them all for a definitive answer, and even when you do read them, only one or two parts might be relevant, if any.. So it's quicker to come straight out and ask rather than waste hours trawling through them all to no avail i think.
Whatever happened doesn't matter anymore. Lesson learned.
You seem like a nice guy. Let's back on topic.
Is the issue solved or not?
Try to state what is the current issue. What was the state of the phone when it was working. What happened or what were you trying to do when it got messed up. What have you tried so far. Etc, etc, etc. The more the info the better.
Edit: Nevermind. You *******, you flashed a froyo hboot on your HTC Inspire/DHD after we’ve warned NOT to for over a year. Here’s the fix:

It is not about if you are an expert or not...I am not, belive me. But I am wise enough to read and try to learn. Doing things like a monkey will not excuse you.
If you don't understand, maybe it is time for you to buy an Iphone. Hacking is not for the lazy b*stards who don't even know what they do. And belive me, your story is hard to belive, running the Hack Kit with a custom rom is not possible...you should have got stuck, that is how it works.
YOUR PHONE....YOUR PROBLEM...I don't give a penny for it.

I wouldn't be seen dead with an iPhone.. I hate Apple and Apple products for that specific reason. They don't give the freedom of open source and don't allow real control. But i will be more careful in future and learn from my mistakes.. However, i'm not a lazy bastard hacker as you so put it, and i don't care for the accusation of being one either, please be careful what you say in future as statements like that are completely uncalled for ..
I understand you are somewhat unhappy with me, but please don't resort to slating me. I wouldn't do the same to you if you were wrong.
And yes Teichopsia.. I am a nice guy, thank you for noticing.. I realise now i made a mistake and i just got stuck, but the phone is now running absolutely flawlessly thank you..
I'm on 100% stock. just rooted. the boot times are really long. I got really worried, so I flashed firmware and everything 100% back to stock. But the long booting times are still there. Just to be sure, I tried rebooting even before rooting (in case rooting was the cause :silly: ) but that wasn't the case. And yes, I have fastboot on.
Other than that, there is no anomaly, phone is working 100% fine, no overheating, no battery drain, nothing. I only had the phone for nearly a month before getting the update, so it might be just me not noticing reboots took this long before too?
Anyone else experiencing it?
Not sure if it's the same thing but I seem to have very long boot times now aswell. I was testing a GPE Rom for a while and went back to sense. Booting now takes at least 5 minutes. Just sits at the white HTC bootscreen until screen turns off and then it works fine. Going back to a GPE Rom seems to fix the problem

Update your firmware and it should work. I have sprint so i was able to find the updated firmware through their forums. I originally thought they were bad flashes, but let it wait one time, it took almost 5 mins to load up. After I updated my firmware to the latest, it worked normally again with fast boot up. On a side note on 4.4.3 roms, I used to think my old bluetooth keyboard didnt work on aosp or gpe roms, and only on sense. Once I updated my rom to a 4.4.3 sense rom, the bluetooth keyboard stopped working on that too. Getting a new bluetooth keyboard today so I will test it out.

Not sure if it's the same thing but I seem to have very long boot times now aswell. I was testing a GPE Rom for a while and went back to sense. Booting now takes at least 5 minutes. Just sits at the white HTC bootscreen until screen turns off and then it works fine. Going back to a GPE Rom seems to fix the problem

Same here. I don't think its a problem related to hardware or software. Just, the boot time is longer. Just that. It is a very huge relief to know that someone else is experiencing it too. I've checked everything I can, and there seems to be nothing wrong while it takes long to boot. It doesn't effect the usage at all too. It isn't a bug, just a little annoyance in case you like devices to speedily boot up.
@memekmek Did that too. I flashed firmware, and everything thoroughly checking my procedure. Nothing seems to be broken anyway, I just wanted to check if others have it too or is it me?

How do you flash firmware when you're not S-Off and do you already have latest firmware for your region (vodap something as I read in other thread)

I used the firmware provided by mike1986 in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282 ... It said that if I have S-ON, I should at least not be able to brick my device...
[I'm actually a 1000% noob in tech, and wrote only what I thought I was doing. I'm sure I must've been wrong. your reply just actually makes sense!]. I didn't want to ask each question on each step, and not bother with my lack of knowledge so I tried to write as much as I understood myself.
I guess it means that my firmware flash was a failure, and that itself is the culprit That clears out a million of my worries.
A little selfish favor to ask of you. Can you kindly direct me to any carrier-specific firmware download place (If there's any!). I'll check it whenever vodap001 firmware comes.
Thanks
Hi ,
I need some help in resolving issues with my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S (LT18i). sorry for big post.
I searched over this and CM forums for similar issues/detailed stapes, but failed. please forgive if its same dumb question asked by several people, but right direction will be helpful.
I have loaded Cynogenmod on my mobile, but now I want to goto stok firmware. Please guide me the steps for noob. Small back ground:
My bro bought this phone a year back and felt its slow and struck some times. So, I collected it from him and want to resolve issues . observed that there is a lag while opening dailer sometimes and sometimes after dailing number it takes approx 5-7 minutes to start dailing. so, wanted to resolve it .
What I did: I read a guide for rooting talk dot sonymobile website and rooted using Eroot_V1.3.4. (also unlocked bootloader using sony official code from website developer.sonymobile as suggested at cyanogenmod wiki Install_CM_for_anzu)
Finally I got Cynogenmod on my mobile. but I observed many bugs in it. the Slow/lagging problem still exists.
Yesterday when I tried to switch on bluetooth, the mobile went crazy. it automatically rebooting for every 3-5 minutes.
I went to recovery mode, tried different options, no use.
Actually I have taken backup before installing cynogenmod (cm-9.1.0-anzu.zip).
I took backup in view of going back, if some thing goes wrong. I thought it is the offical stock ware backup(rooted,unlocked and CWM added stock).So, just want to go back and tried to restore it. After sometime CWM restore completed when i rebooted system is up without any message on screen , I can see mobile is on by light.no flash screen nothing. after 10 minutes, I had to got back to latest backup of Cynogenmod.
Now I can see mobile is starting and CWm loaded but started rebooting loop. Then as a last try I have wiped cache/data.
Now my mobile is working but sometimes getting rebooted.
So, in this situation I want to go back to stock rom.
Please advise me how to go back. I dont need unrooting or unlocking boot loader. Just going back to stock is fine.
the dailer lag, dailing lag are ok for now. Please help.
Thanks,
Aditya

Dear SGY,
Thanks for quick answer.I checked the link suggested.I have downloaded the firmware link provided in that link. But I am confused whether it suits my situation or not.
I am worrying that if something go wrong my mobile might brick.
the reason for worry is as I already had cynogenmod. is that ok ?
one more question is that in CWM i have taken backup before installing cynogen mod. Is it not stock firmware ? If no, is that data backup ?
If it is data backup, can I restore that backup after following steps to get back stock firmware.
Sorry for too many questions.
thank you. now i could revert back my firmware. need to check how works
Ok let me be really specific i have flashed stock firmware through odin, i have done clean wipes, i have done every possible thing in my power but still experience horrible tablet preformance i get app stops and restarts everytime even after i have flashed on odin no one here has been able to help me they tell me to do the same thing over and over download stock firmware and flash, do a clean wipe iv'e done it all please help i know someone can i think its a file in the screenshots i enclosed that is corrupted but i have no idea which one is it. its not the system or the kernel it is something deeper please help i am begging you developers
k,
no offense, but your post is wildly disrespectful. [frowny face]
you are basically putting the proper ownership of your error off on others.
to be fair, in your ignorance you flashed a firmware without first doing some research on the topic.
a noobish mistake, it happens, i've done it.
there were plenty of threads created prior to your experience warning of new samsung releases
overwriting bootloaders and how to navigate the issue.
from my interaction with you, i think i am accurate in saying you did not do the aforementioned research.
i for one took time to describe a way to "fix" your issue. You chose not to attempt it, which is fair. It is risky.
Cool.
However, lots of the users you've interacted with on xda have a fair to expert handle on how to get things done.
they do what they can to help, they cannot be expected to compensate for another's impatience, lack of attention
to detail and/or incompetence/ineptitude.

What are you talking about i am not blaming a single soul for anything, i have been flashing roms and firmwares for years now. Somehow something went wrong and i am asking for help. I flashed the official firmware from sammobile for the sm t210r i booted into stock recovery and factory reset. And still i get the same results don't take pleading for direspect i am just frustrated not with anyone but with the tablet believe me it wasn't like this a month ago

hmm,
okay, different approach.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
just a refresher.
now,
screenshots of directories are next to useless.
what's needed is , at the very least a logcat.
to get that or anything else moving you need,
custom recovery installed.
root.
busybox.
adb setup properly on pc.
the ability to describe you problem in words other than my thing doesn't work.
the sense not to keep creating thread after thread concerning the same issue.
if you are that insistent on undoing what you have done, my previous suggestion to you is probably the best bet.
if you want "Professional" help then seek a repair service.
Savvy?
m
Gee thanks for the video very eye opening. Will post a logcat then i have all the things u mentioned recovery,adb etc all i require is clear steps to follow into fixing this lil issue and i will b a happy camper. N yes bro i savy don't be so serious i can see that your an intellectual an i respect that and apreciate any help u can offer

k,
okay, cool. sorry for being so rough on you.
i am downloading a copy of 4.4.2 firmware though linking me to the firmware
you initially flashed would be good.
what would be better is if you still have the firmware file crack it open with 7zip and get me a list
of the files [.img, .bin] inside.
run logcat after you boot up. attach to post as text file
then run your routine to where you get your issue, fc's etc and run logcat again and post as text [2]
m
okay it looks like i am not going to be downloading the 4.4.2 firmware.
downloads break from the one source i found
and i have no interest in joining the other site. that's bull****.
so if you can get me the list of files contained in the realease that would be helpful.
OK bro I narrowed it down to it not being a ROM or firmware issue here is my log, the firmware that I flashed was from sammobile its a tar file and 7zip can't open it. Currently i am on tranchikat 1.8 the " unfortunately app stops" still persist its not really force closes its stops hope you can deduce something off the log and again thanks very much bro it doesnt matter how long it takes.

k,
i am going to guess you are trying to run a battery/governor tweaker ?
i am going to guess when you type getenforce in terminal
your output will be enforcing.
i am guessing when you resend your logcat you will do so after
typing su
and then
logcat -d > /sdcard/logcat.txt
if my guesses as to the app and selinux are correct you;
a- need to let the app go into the dustbin of history
b- need to look for a tutorial on dumping/unpacking/customizing/repacking/reflashing your boot.img
in order to disable selinux and make it stick.
if my guesses are wrong it is because;
the log you posted is super-lame [sorry] use your terminal, not a catlog app.
you have yet to tell me what app are giving you your headache. in which event is an issue between you
and the app's developer.
lastly you should be question the developer of the rom.
m
Bro its not any specific app I'll give you an example. Say I am going to settings doing whatever all of a sudden boom "unfortunately settings have stopped". Say I am on my browser browsing a way I go to my bookmarks boom " unfortunately internet has stop". It does it randomly not evrytime but at random "unfortunately touchwiz has stopped" etc the apps will close an I can start them again and they will run normally until another random stop. I have tried all costom Roms on here and still have the issue so I know its not a ROM problem, I have flashed my stock firmware both 4.1.2 and 4.4.2 and it persist so that rules out it being those either. But I will do what u said and use terminal to get the log. So far what I can tell its not the apps nor the ROM nor the kernel that is causing the stops and random reboots.

k,
okay, this ---> android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL is the ballbuster.
it's connected to , from what i've read so far , a maybe faulty root and multiuser.
what version supersu are you using ? unroot and then reroot trying from version 1.97 maybe to 1.99.
kill multiuser and clear out any suspect accounts in settings. will post back if i find something more conclusive.
you can jump in as well by searching the error i mentioned.
android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL
m
@kgalv419
edit after rooting set actions to auto grant permission and trust system
EDIT - disable xposed modules - xprivacy if you're running it.
QUESTION - THIS IS A JELLYBEAN ROM ? seems to be a jellybean issue...
EDIT-EDIT i found this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...card-app-data-to-extsdcard-tw-t2178863/page16
read that page looking specifically at the portion concerning /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
you may need to add/edit the line for
android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL
with the proper uid [user identification] meaning the right number/symbol for root,shell,ewok, etc.
the entry looks something like this;
<assign-permission name="android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL" uid="shell" />
and remember to reset the file's permissions correctly - 644
Nah it happens on both jellybean and KitKat for me I don't think its the root because when I flash the official samsung firmware through Odin it is basically unrooted and the problems persist
iI tell you when it first started. I was on jellybean then the kitkat update for the sm-t210r came out, I flashed it via Odin and from then it started
So naturally I downgraded back to jellybean but the issue it stayed, so that's basically the history of the random app stops and random reboots.
