[Q] reboot loop

My g2x keeps rebooting over and over again! This happened after i mounted it to my pc. it tries to read my sd card then just reboots over and over again. I have nv flash and tried to restore old back up but still does it. can any one help im thinking i need to flash stock.

you need to do a factory reset if your nandroid backup doesn't work. if that doesn't work reflash the rom.

I already did a factory reset and wipe and tried to re install the rom. it just continues to reboot. It starts up and if quick i can get into my lock screen and access things but within seconds it reboots and continues to do that

What rom are you using?

I was on a stock rooted rom when the problem happened. so i then i did a restore. when that didnt work i reflashed the stock rom that was posted on forum. i think it has something to do with my internal memory which i cannot access. this all happened when i was trying to back up my sd card while in usb and it just got an error when i unplugged it enless reboot.

I was hoping it was something simple like undervolting with a custom rom. I wish I could help. It sounds like you tried everything I would recomend. Maybe one of the real Android techie type guys can help you. I am still learning myself.

Refurbished G2X and Flashing ROMS

I'm currently using the newest Weapon G2X ROM on my phone...
Like many of you, this ROM is working just fine, but I get the itch to try something new.
I've tried to flash the new EaglesBlood release (1.9), and I've also tried the latest CM7 and MIUI.
I'm DEFINITELY NOT a pro at flashing ROMs, but I've done enough successful flashes to know how to do it correctly. In all of the above mentioned ROMS, my phone will freeze up on the boot screen, or I will get booted, but not even be able to sync a google account or reload apps... My phone will lock up and I'll have to battery pull.
In another thread this morning, I saw a user mention that the REFURBISHED handsets sometimes have problems with some ROMs and OC'd kernals...
Is anyone else having this problem? This kind of makes sense for me.

That should not be the case. The only difference in a refurbished handset is the model number. Other than that, and the fact is is previously used but everything reflashed to stock by LG or TMO, the ROMs should work the same as a DW model phone.

I'm all out of ideas then... Do you have any idea why I'd have so much trouble loading other ROMs?
Like I mentioned, I'm no pro, but I've Flashed enough ROMs to think that I'm "good" at it.
I'm completely stumped.

Before flashing a new ROM did you do a factory data reset, format the system partition and clear the Dalvik cache? If not you will have problems as you described. You need to wipe the phone clean between flashing different roms. If upgrading to a new version of the same rom you might get away without a wipe. But if you are changing roms the steps I mentioned above are essential or you will often get bootloops or the phone will lock up during boot.

JBoxer, I make SURE to Reset/Wipe/Format/Clean everything EVERYTIME.
That's what I can't get figured out. I've been meticulous about it!
And I still get the frozen bootscreens and the lock ups.
Any other ideas?

the Best I've found if you want gingerbread style is Hellfire phoenix
or if you want ICS style is Hellfire sandwich v1.6 (which is what I am using for a while now)
the only problem that I found is the video camera but other than that everything else works fine on my G2X. they update couple times a month for the last 4 months so they are always trying to make things better for their users. if you have problems they are more than willing to try to help you with it. if you are using with a simple mobile setting it has a funny setup but it work very good (better wifi & phone signals)

My original g2x could handle oc and UV big time, anything the devs put out . My replacement can only handle kernels with stock voltage and oc is unstable anything past 1.1ghz. So to answer your question, may be a coincidence or may just be bad luck on our part. Remember, not every processor is created equal despite being the same phone. I get tempted to get an additional replacement every once in a while but laziness tells me otherwise.

Possibly cleaning and wiping everything soo good that you clean the new rom right off your sd card?? lol. just a thought. ive done that when i 1st started flashing roms. or possibly flashing gapps on roms that dont require you to?
edit: i just realized how old this post is. lol

the reason refurbs night have worse luck is because of all the people who send their phones back because of that, they make up a reason to tell Tmobile and get a nice shiny new one. The old one is reset and passes all the "official" stability tests and gets sent out again.

[Q] Need some help =/

OK,
So was running ExtremeSensation™Series|ICS|Dream™3|Prime™5 and really liked it. And it comes with a app called JRummie Tools (I think thats it atleast).
And this app allows you to change splash screen, boot logo, font, system colors, etc. And I went ahead and bought the PRO version to support the dev . Tinkered with it, and it all went well. So last night I went back into it and picked all new everything, but this time I didnt restart after each mod, I waited until all were done, then rebooted. I also saw a feature to change the read/write speed of the SD card, and it suggested 1024kb, so I did that, rebooted, low and behold, Ive screwed something up lol! It reboots after the splash screen now, Ive tried doing a full wipe including dalvik cache, and re installing other ROMS. But it always gets to the splash screen, freezes and reboots.
I'm not exactly a genius when it comes to all this, but I know enough that I've been rooting my adroid devices for a few years now. All in all I'm just hoping someone smarter than me can help me out. When I google the issue, I merely get "Wipe and Reflash" over and over.
Thanks for any help!

Thank you, I know my firmware is good, but will double check. So the superwipe script is actually deeper than 4ext's wipe all except sd? Will try this when I get home though!

[Q] AT&T HOX - Restarting Issues?

My One X restarts when I'm in the Google Play app and while using the built in browser. It seems to be data related... Also I get no error or anything of that nature, it just freezes (stops responding to any input whatsoever the capacitive buttons don't respond either) and it just restarts and goes through the HTC and AT&T load screens. Any ideas as to why my phone keeps restarting after a bit of use on the market, browser, etc... I've sent in my original phone thinking it might've been defective. Turns out the one they sent me did the same thing. Mind you they sent me a refurbished one. So I don't know if its a problem isolated to the original shipments of HOX's since I got mine via a pre-order and this is probably the same batch since the AT&T rep said they had no new devices to ship to me as a replacement.

Any ideas?

I've gone through a few HOXs and have never had a single reboot on any of them. My suggestion to you would be to wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik) and reflash your ROM.

How exactly would I go about doing that. I used the clockwork recovery mod on my Aria back when I had that. But from what I understand the HOX doesn't have that yet and attempting to use ROM Manager or anything that uses it would brick my phone.

We have clockwork mod and TWRP recoveries. I take it you are on a stock ROM then? Are you rooted?
Oh, and never use ROM Manager. Ever.

Yeah I'm rooted (on the stock ROM) and I managed to get my bootloader unlocked.

I take it you haven't flashed any mods right? I'd get clockworkmod flashed on your phone and then wipe and flash CleanROM SE. It's very close to stock, perfectly stable (I haven't had a single force close except for one youtube one a long while back right after flashing), and it has some great mods and tweaks. If you are still having reboots, then I would RUU back to stock, see if they are still there and if they are, get it replaced.

Radio
If your issues were mostly data related its probably a radio issue. Be sure to flash a new radio. If I'm not mistaken most roms don't include the radio. I like the latest AT&T as well as 1.88. Much better than 1.73 or 1.85. you can flash it just like a rom if it's in zip format. There's a thread in development with radio In the title. Normally first page.

I had this exact problem. EXACT. Does it happen on WiFi only? try turning it off.
EDIT: this happened to me on two different HOXs, one just after i updated to 1.82, and the other, stock from the store on 1.85. I was able to narrow it down to the fact that our home wifi was unprotected with a hidden SSID. as soon as we changed it to WPA it worked fine, and continues to.

Phone deletes some apps every time it reboots. 2 year old ROM.

Oneplus One on 5.1.1 (12.1) on jgcaap's 11/30/2015 build. I used to be really into flashing and modding phones but have since moved and changed jobs. I just haven't been able to enjoy this hobby lately, or several others. Over the last month or so any time I reboot the phone it is missing several apps when it comes back on. This happens whether I manually reboot, or if an error causes it reboot on its own. This morning it rebooted on its own and lost Google Play Services... Now I can't use the market, and many of the apps I have cannot work either.
I want to install a new ROM. I am concerned with the process because I will be coming from such an old build. I am going to start researching ROM's but I need to get it done soon. I hate to be the guy who shows up not having done his research. Since this is the "help" forum I was hoping someone would be willing to give me a little guidance. I just need a reliable ROM, doesn't have to be the fastest or too fancy. I will post up here when I decide which one to try but I am completely open to suggestions.
In the short term I plan to re-install gapps. I found the old tkGapps thread and downloaded the mini modular package. So hopefully doing that will buy me some time.
Thank you for reading, and any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Looks organized! I'll give it a try. I will read about it tonight while it is downloading. I live remote now so sloooow internet. It will give me some time to read.
So, it won't cause any issue going straight from 5.1.1 to this 7.x.x ROM? Years ago on Samsungs it had to be done in steps sometimes.
Thank you so much for the reply.

Installed with no drama! I was so concerned there would be some kind of Samsung-esque step maneuver/install this kernal then flash this rom, then after that install the ROM stuff... So easy!! Thanks!
Questions:
1. do I need Busybox? I run a few root apps. I don't know if we still use this.
2. is Titanium Backup fully functional in this build? I used to back up some of my more important apps then restore them with data. Of course no system apps.
3. Can't remember #3 so #3 is Thank goodness this fixed my phone! Thank you Sir!

Problem still exists with new ROM.
I was out of town yesterday and thought my phone was working correctly. Some of my google contacts were missing but that was easy enough to address. Today I rebooted my phone to install super su using twrp. I haven't had to root this phone in literally 2 years. I read here to install super su in recovery. Here's the problem. When the phone was booted up it is now missing about 40% of the apps I had previously installed. I installed all of them from the play store manually. Now I am starting to think my phone has a hardware problem, which makes me sad. I really love this phone.
I did a quick search trying to find someone with a similar problem but was unsuccessful. I haven't been able to search more thoughouly yet. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them.

Could you tell me which SuperSU you flashed?

Today this is the one I installed. https://download.chainfire.eu/1220/SuperSU/SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip I believe it is version 2.82.
When I installed the ROM it asked me at the end if I wanted to install super su, because twrp didn't detect root. I slid the bar to allow it, but I never got root access. That is why I tried the one I manually downloaded today.
In case it makes a difference I am using an older version of twrp. It was the good one to use back then. I don't know what version it is, and I am afraid to reboot my phone to find out.

Any ideas on this?
I have been unable to get root. So I haven't been able to use any root tools to work on it. Can't backup or restore apps. I wanted to try a trim app to trim the nand.
If I don't come up with a better idea before tonight I plan to reinstall DotOS again with Gapps. Then just try to not ever reboot the phone. I can't afford a new device right now. I may just have to flash it fresh every week or two. I guess that will keep my phone light.

I have installed 2 different ROM's now and this problem persists. If my phone reboots it will delete about half my apps. If it was a Samsung I would "Odin back to stock" and hope for the best. I don't think that is possible on this device.
If I find a solution I will post here about it. Otherwise this problem is a death sentence for this phone. I am only posting this now so if this happens to someone else's device they can see how it went with mine.

I appreciate your help MR. AK. I had seen that thread but didn't realize what it would do. I flashed my phone back to stock using the files and directions in that thread. after i was done I let it run like that for a short time then installed a custom ROM and Gapps. That was Sunday and now on Tuesday I have installed most of my apps and rebooted the phone 3 times. It hasn't lost any apps! *knocks on wood* So far so good! Now I just have to read up on that screen cable issue. The bottom still smears out sometimes.
Thanks again for the help Mr. AK. I used to be into flashing all the time but have hit hard times. I have't been able to keep up with everything like I used to. I have been modifying phones since before the Moto RAZR came out. Used to be a member at motomodders.net which is now defunct. I hope to get back into it soon. XDAdevs is a great community. Happy new year everyone!
