I have been having this strange problem with Pyro-Ice & undeadk9's liquid ICS v1 where whenever i reboot the phone it would go into a reboot loop of two or three reboots then when it stopped it would have reverted to original wallpaper that the flashed rom came with from the wp-clock live wallpaper im using.
I noticed this when i would reboot into recorvery to mount SDcard it would get into a reboot loop. When the loop stops and i put back the wallpaper everything would work fine till i reboot again.
Up until yesterday, the reboot loops were three at most. When i rebooted from recorvery it went into a reboot loop that wouldnt.end, i actually had to go back to recorvery where i cleared all caches then it rebooted once more before it stopped.
The reboot usually occurs when it prompts me for the pin, which i dont get past the second digit when i get the reboot.
The wallpaper tells me SSID of wlan network im connected to, time, date, cellular network its currently registered to and battery level at a glance. Thats why i use it.
Anyone else experienced anything like this?

Oh that's a super easy fix...DONT USE THE APP. There problem solved. Just kidding. I believe that app is not ICS compatible. Contact the app developer.
The wallpaper changes when the reboot loop ends, its never caused the phone to reboot. the phone Works okay till I reboot. I will remove it for a while and see if the problem goes away.

havent you tried some wifi tethering? built in in android? that would cause bootloops as you describe it.

Nope, I actually tried using it without the live wallpaper the problem went away. But after putting it back, a reboot would result sometimes into a reboot loop. Strangest thing is that I don't get any problem if the phone stays on. In fact if I revert to a static wallpaper just when I reboot I won't get a reboot loop.
Those are my findings

which particular wallpaper is that?
I had this once, but I was on like 0.2 ... Never since. I'm sorry your havin this problem.... Maybe reflash? I didn't read if u gave that a try yet.
Just my spare change.

The wallpaper is wp-clock as indicated in my first post. Gives me the time, ssid of wlan if connected to any, battery level and cellular network the phone is connected to.

Not just a couple of reflashes, but also undeadk9's liquid ics rom which is also based on pyroice.

Will give this a try again with the new Pyro-ICS 1.1.0 and see if it behaves the same.

Problem with the live wallpaper is still there. If it wasn't compatible, would it work well with ICS then only cause reboot loops when I restart the phone?
So far I could say things have gotten worse. Because any small change I make on the phone(like installing an app, changing wallpaper, swapping sims etc etc) initiates a 2-3 loop reboot loop if I restarts the phone. When the loop ends it reverts to the first wallpaper I changed too(maybe not the original because it was abit garbed)

My phone worked perfectly for a few days with ADP1.5H r3 on it, but now it refuses to boot, it seems to be looping forever. The blue android logo comes up, but the "shining" animation stops moving after usually 1-2 seconds, then the screen flashes back and the same thing repeats over and over again. I have already tried a wipe earlier, but now I'm having the same problem again. Any clues on what causes this or (better) how to fix this?

Are you doing Apps to SD? It could be your card.
Did you move any caches?
Do you have any nandroid backups? (just fastboot flash if so)
Did you recently try to update to anything and fail?
Try to use the update.zip again. If that doesn't work then start over from scrap.

Wipe worked for me. It was sticking on the Android flash screen, but worked after the wipe.
Yeah, a wipe fixes it. Later today I stumbled upon a thread which suggested the problem is the "Contact Owner" app that doesn't play nice. Can anyone confirm that?
In answer to binary: yeah I do apps on SD but I've been doing that since ADP1.1, so I doubt the card is the problem. Didn't move any caches. Yeah I have a nandroid backup, and all the updates I did went smoothly. I had the whole system working for about 2 days until this happened (probably, because this was the first time I rebooted since installing Contact Owner, though I can't really remember that 100%)

Contact Owner caused my phone to go into a reboot loop, but that was on the 5.02H build. I haven't had the guts to try it on JF1.5 or 1.5Hr3. If you look through the market comments for Contact Owner you'll see quite a few complaints of the same issue.
Hi there,
And sorry for reviving this old thread. I am the developer of Contact Owner an I kinda need your help in debugging this issue. I got a small number of messages from users of custom builds a while ago (about a month or two) but thought it was an issue with those builds.
Now it came back to bite me in the ass, as it seems the HTC builds in various countries (Canada, Sweden, South Africa) have the same issue: the phone goes into a reboot loop. I've tried (and failed) to install a custom build on my dev phone (almost bricked it) so I'm going to ask nicely if someone is willing to debug the issue for me. Please, please, please!
All that's needed is to install and run Contact Owner and if the device goes into a reboot loop, simply attach it to USB, run 'adb logcat' and then post the output. To recover from the reboot loop, simply start in 'safe mode' (hold Menu down while booting) and then uninstall Contact Owner.
I suspect the problem lies in SQLite, because I've seen similar complaints from Klaxon users and that app also sets the alarm message (which then ends up in a SQLite db, I guess). The Alarm Clock app that comes with Android also does that but I imagine it's because the message set by Alarm Clock is always short and has no newlines. I also don't think the issue is in Dalvik code, because the device should not crash if managed code causes an error.
TIA,
Paranoid Android.
Hello...
I'm a newbie to modding phones (obvious from the question/problem I've about to ask). I have an HTC Inspire and I followed the one click rooting guide and installed Coredroid7 with the 3rd set of radio/RIL listed in that thread. With a bit of a struggle I got it working - worked great and I loved it. Unfortunately I found on the market place an app (Overclock Widget by Billy Cui ) - clicked on "load on boot" and a few bad settings and the entire phone froze. Since then whenever I boot my phone is stuck on the white screen with green HTC logo. The config on my phone is:
s-off
hboot 0.85.0019
micop-0438
radio 26.09.04.11_m2
emmc boot
I've googled all of the internet and followed advice such as reflashing the radio/RIL. went into recover and typed the "adb shell, etc... to remove files indicated (but they were not there)". tried to do recover but the recovery files werent there. At this state, there is only so many combinations you can do and I feel I have done it all.
there are a lot of advice on set cpu problem with other HTC devices but none of them work/can be applied to the Inspire.
Can someone please help me? In your answer please answer me in a dumb down way - keeping in mind I am new and have a hard time understanding acroynms and how to perform complex operations with the hint of a word phrase (ie - please be explicit for me on how to flash radio, instead of saying flash radio XYZ)
Thanks in advance
PS: I am already nervous/scared of what has happened, I am hoping I don't have to do a eng s-off as part of the solution please
based on my description (white screen with HTC logo) have i bricked my phone or is it in a boot loop?
i tried the following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033353
and when i say install PD98IMG.zip it just says installation aborted. This is the image I got from Coredroid7 that was working before the problem started.
also tried this:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-...cks/50301-setcpu-forgot-uncheck-set-boot.html
but my phone does not have the file they wanted me to delete
If you see the white HTC logo your always okay. The problem comes when there is nothing showing, you must have changed some settings that won't let the phone complete some core processes.
This can easily be fixed by pulling battery hold volume down button and power and booting into Hboot. Then go into recovery factory reset and wipe dalvik_cache(under advanced) and flash the desired ROM or do a restore from a point your phone worked perfectly.

First... THANK YOU very very much for telling me it is not as bad as it seems.
I have done the following:
go into hboot
recovery option
wipe dalvik
flash coredroid7 again by having it be embedded in PD98IMG.zip however like mentioned above this fails.
Right now I am redoing the process again by formatting my sdcard, creating /download to put the PD98IMG.zip in follow the procedures again above. In case this fails, what are my options?
thanks for the guidance. i flashed it again with:
CoreDroid_Desire_HD_GB_2.3.3_V7.0_RV
and I am out of the white screen mode.
Just remember if your phone boots up but not all the way its still ok you can save it. The easiest although most annoying solution is reflash the rom. Also i know you hear about people bricking there phone. I truly think its harder than anyone thinks. Good luck with the inspire. Also if you want overclocking/underclocking stick with setcpu(you can get it free for being an xda member just search xda). Let it auto detect speeds. Give it root permission (itll pop up asking make sure you check remember above the allow button). If your overclocking I recommend staying undler 1.6 ghz (1600 on setcpu) and go to profile select enable. Then set up a profile for screen off and set it for around 300 mhz to help with battery life.

I think I've had about every kind of soft boot thre is on the sticky guide, and one that isn't, and I have always been able to recover (knock on wood). Even black screens...
I was stuck in a similar situation once:I forgot to take off "load on boot" and increased the max speed all the way to like 1.9. And phone froze.
SetCPU gets permissions in the process of phone boot up, after the whole OS is loaded. There is a tiny time gap between home screen coming up, and SetCPU being granted SU permissions. So this is what I did:
I did a reboot. And after the phone starts, without giving any time opened the app drawer for "SuperUser" app, and took off SetCPU permissions from there. This denied SetCPU of it permissions and it was loaded at default speeds. Then I went into Settings-->Applications, and erased all SetCPU data.
Well, it took me like 3-4 reboots before I could master the timing to get to SuperUser and take off SetCPU from there. But it atleast saved me the hazzle of reflashing everything again. And yes sir, I forgot to take a nandroid backup
thanks
Thanks All

same issue only worse
I have the same situation. I flashed absolution 2.0 last night. Everything went good. Turned it on this morning seemed to work fine also then I turned it off for work and tried turning it back on at the end of the day and it just runs a loop. I can get to the HBOOT menu but I only have 5 options; fastboot, recovery, factory reset, sim lock, and image crc. There is no advance settings and when I choose any of the available options nothing happens except the phone reboots (crc does run a check but then nothing). Hooked to my pc and it says found android 1.0 but I can't do anything with it. I have also pulled the battery and sims card.

It just turns off and starts back up and runs its loop. Same for fastboot and factory reboot.

They'll get ya fixed up.
Thanks TX. Those guys on that site were awesome. Attn1 worked with me for over an hour. Unfortunately, my phone itself has a hardware failure. Never the less, GREAT support. I wish there was a thank you button for them. This was my first android phone (lasted 3 months) and b/c of the DEV's and other members it won't be my last. Just hope the next one lasts longer.

Recently I've been noticing that the stock launcher always seems to restart when coming out of another app. For instance, I might go into Gmail for a few seconds, and when I press the home button, I get the white HTC screen then a loading screen for the launcher. So I have to wait like 15 seconds before actually seeing my home screen when I was just there seconds before!
Is anyone else having this issue?
I tried switching to Launcher Pro, but I got similar issues there, where all the icons would have to reload individually on the screen when pressing the home button. And it was a big laggy (more so than the stock launcher).
I had that same problem but that was because I accidently moved the sense launcher to my sd, after moving it back it stopped also look to see if any of the sense programs like people, browser etc we moved cause they can also cause Sense to restart if not stored on phone.

Nope, they're all on my phone. Just double checked.
Having same problem but it's intermittent. I also asked a couple of other people and they are having the same problem.
It's really annoying. I don't always have quick access to apps because of this. And running another launcher doesn't help. Hopefully this is fixed in the OTA update, whenever that'll be.

I have found that turning off the Fast Boot feature and restarting has pretty much eliminated this problem.
Thanks rorycs! That seems to have done the trick.
Any ideas why fast boot was causing the issue in the first place?

I have no idea... I can only guess that Fast Boot caches some data and that when the data is changed by a new app install/delete or some other saved data it has to rebuild the cached data each time before reloading .... Just a guess....

Hi since this evening I have the same problem. The first few weeks I did not have any problem with my sensation. This afternoon I applied a display protector and now he is starting up again and again.
Coincidence probably.
Where can I find the fast reboot mode> I can't find it on my (dutch, vodafone branded) phone.
Thanks
Usually the sense UI closes itself when the phone runs out of RAM, that's why it happens when you exit an app. Seems like also the fast boot option uses a bit more RAM so it makes the sense restart more often. Hope I helped.
Yeah mine has started restarting recently also.
I stopped fastboot but still does it. This is extremely annoying as it usually happens when I want to make a call or send a message and have to wait while it restarts.

Too bad! Brought my sensation to the shop and they did an system update with new software, phone was working for one day and now the **** started all over again, it just stops working randomly.
When i take a picture it stops, when its in my pocket it stops... I hate this!
I will bring it back to the shop again now for a hardware check, probably that will cost me two weeks.... I just have my phone one month......
I came to this thread lookling for a permanent fix to the loading screen but unfortunately i did not find that. I can offer a temporary fix, which certainly is not what we want but something is better than nothing.
Go to manage apps, all then to htc sense and delete data. That will correct the problem for a while. Unfortunately u will look te wallpaper and apps on the screen and u will have to put them back.
Guys, come on you have to search a little better for the answer.... but here you go anyway:
There are 2 options I have found that will work. I have been using the first option for months now with no issue or problem. Sense keeps restarting when it gets low on memory so the system swaps it out. You can choose your fix from the 2 options below. The first one apparently changes the way the system handles the Sense launcher and keeps it loaded much better - it is the option I use (I have found that when you exceed about 420MB used for your apps then the next option will work better). The second option simply stops the system from swapping the Sense launcher out of memory completely. Both of these require you to be rooted and to modify "build.prop" which is found in the /system folder.
If you are not comfortable with this edit make a Nandroid Backup first!!! (If you screw it up your phone may not boot)
1. Make a backup copy of "build.prop" (I simply copied it and renamed the original to "build.prop.old" and left it in the /system folder)
2. Edit "build.prop" with a text editor (you can use Astro or ES File Manager)
3. Scroll all the way to the END and add one of the following lines as the LAST LINE in "build.prop"
Choose ONE of the following lines and add it exactly as typed here:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
4. Save your edited "build.prop" and reboot.
That's it. Enjoy!

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
try ARHD with No sense. Won't have such annoying problem happen again.
although the widget in Sense is nice, but with GO launcher and its widget in custom skin, feel satisfactory. at least it save ram and stop restarting which really annoy me.
I've been searching this form for an hour or two now and still haven't found my issue, so here goes.
Just got an HTC Inspire 4G off of ebay and it arrived today.
The seller had mentioned that the phone was freezing / rebooting, but I figured.. that's because he's not running cm7, right?
Charged and booted up the phone and it turns out that the problem was a little worse than I first expected. I only experienced occasional freezing, and it only rebooted once, but there is a worse problem.
The phone loaded up fine, looked good, but tapping around on the home screen I got messages alerting me that system apps (htc sense, launcher, and even com.android.phone) had stopped responding or had shut down.
I hit the menu and go to settings. I scroll down the list and the entire list goes black. I hit home and it goes to a home screen, but with no launcher or icons. Basically, every few taps, the interface goes out. If you are on a menu it blacks out, if you are at home or press home after the menu blacks out you will get anywhere from pieces of icons / widgets to just a blank desktop. The live wallpaper even keeps going, but all of the interactive stuff quits. The disappearing menus didn't usually give app closed messages, they just went black. The home screen only gave app closed messages sometimes.
I thought this was a software problem, so I managed to root the phone and flash cm7. Everything booted good, but it still had the same problem of weird disappearing menus and home interfaces. I went ahead and flashed gapps and got the little intro thing about setting up my Inspire 4g that starts when you first boot your phone. I clicked through that but when it gets to connect wifi, the phone entirely freezes and I have to pull the battery.
I flashed inspiremod and nothing changed, tho that's for something else, so I'm not sure that's entirely relevant, but I was trying everything I could think of.
I'm definitely no expert on hardware, but it almost sounds like a ram problem, like it doesn't have enough to keep all of the interface going all the time and shuts it down or shuts parts of it down to work.. but I don't want to believe that. I'm really hoping that it's a software problem.
I got the phone at a good price and it came with an otterbox, so I won't be too disappointed if I can't get it fully functional, but it would still be a bummer.
Any help / advice / suggestions appreciated. Thanks, guys!
EDIT: I cleared the cache / dalvik cache before flashing / reflashing cm7, which I did once or twice
EDIT 2: Now if I leave it on the intro screen where it freezes it reboots after a minute or so. Gonna try flashing a different mod.. see if that helps.
That was a long post. But it was good, you gave a lot of info.
The cm7 zip that you downloaded, check the md5 checksum, make sureit matches whatever is in the op (first page) or wherever the md5 is, maybe where you downloaded it from. If it doesn't, download again.
Then,
from recovery,
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe dalvik
Format all partitions(except sd card)
Flash zip/rom.
Check if it works. If not, try using it without the sd card. If not, come back and report.
Sent from a dream.
Thanks for the reply and suggestions.
I check the md5, and it's good. I just did a factory reset and wiped cache and dalvik.. I'm unsure what you mean by format all partitions except sd card. I don't think I know how to do this with clockworkmod.
Started up without sd card and it still has the same problem. Looks great until I touch the screen, then everything disappears except the wallpaper.
Reboot in recovery and do it from there. You'll find format all partitions at the bottom... well, maybe. Cwm has an option to reboot in recovery, and I think if you press and hold the power button, select reboot and it will also ask you if you wantto boot into recovery. Cant remember if cm7 has it, it should.
After you wiped those, flash the rom. Stay in recovery and search for fix.permissions. Reboot.
Sent from a dream.
Just did that and re-flashed cm7, but the phone was still having the same problems.
I then repeated the process with a MIUI ICS rom and it seemingly worked for a little bit. I got a "Maps has stopped working" message, but I was able to slide back and forth through the home screens, and the menu came up. After I tapped though the menu a bit it started being weird again, but with MIUI the weirdness is different. It looked like the screen was divided up into 20 something smaller screens tiled across the display with messed up looking bits of screen in them.. weird..
If you are wiping correctly then I am out of ideas. I would say try a GB rom, however that is a strange issue and just might be a hardware problem. Tough, Im not sure.
Sent from a dream.
I've tried cm7, which is 2.3, and I've tried a 4.0.4 MIUI build and one other sense rom that didn't work well at all.
I'm wiping and flashing the same as I did on my LG p509, which works beautifully with cm7.
If it is hardware, hopefully it's something simple like the battery, and not bad RAM or anything serious..
Maybe if I keep at it I'll get it.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
Np. Keep us updated.

I ordered a new battery for it, and that fixed the random reboots, which had been occurring more frequently, but the other problems were still there.
I flashed and re flashed and formatted and reinstalled a bunch, but still no luck. I then decided that I might take it by the local cell phone repair shop and see if they could fix it.
In preparation, I used aahk to flash the stock ruu with everything how it was when I got it. After booting it up, it seemed to be working ok.
I still get the occasional menu glitch, but it's so infrequent it's not an issue.
The phone still freezes up quite a bit when I'm using it, but it's nearly a useable device now!

Have you tried changing out the sd card? Having a bad sd card can cause all inds of odd issues
I booted it without an sd card before and couldn't tell the difference, but it had a lot more issues than just freezing then.
I haven't tried it since those other issues have stopped. I'll try that when I get home from work.
Recently put ViperXL on and took updates now its ViperXL 3.2.5, put kernel 3.4.10-ElementalX v5.0 vanilla on, flashed radio 2.41.,S-OFF.. Now the screen at times becomes unresponsive like when deleting apps,touch the app , it opens but it wont move or delete.IF I reboot, the screen behaves like it should for an unknown period then problem starts to repeat itself untill rebooting again. Another issue I noticed lately before flashing Viper is in TWRP , especially when rebooting, tapping the reboot button it wont respond for a short period,I might have to tap several times to get reboot to happen. I am wondering if I put too much on the system or might it be something internal?

delay with twrp reboot is normal. issues with custom kernels are pretty common as you are pushing your phone beyond spec and making the phone do things it wasn't really designed to do. imo the screen freezing is due to s2w but i could be wrong. i think you can turn s2w off in elemental, try turning it off and see if you still get freezing.
could be.

This could be the trick. I tried this morning and so far today there hasn't been a hangup on apps. I tried a couple and everything as usual. But this has been a intermittent thing not knowing when or how it would happen.
Yeah I have found some of the Venom tweaks really affecting responsiveness. For example if you could figure power long press to turn on the flashlight it takes NOTABLY longer to wake the phone. I can see s2w having the same effect
Here I thought I was the only one experiencing this issue. I did a full wipe and format and flashed a bone stock (default configuration) flash of ViperXL to see if that would solve the issue. Screen issue doesn't occur as often as before bit it still happens. I found that if I block the light sensor, the screen begins to behave normally. I don't have a logcat yet but can upload if necessary.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
same problem again.

I thought wrong , again, tried this morning just moving an app from home screen to second screen. It will open but unable to move it or delete it from the screen. Rebooted and seems everything is normal again.

Not really sure, I can't find anything that 4x5 is enabled. S2W I disabled also, this is not a big problem just irritating some times. Things usually start working normal when I reboot system .
You could try increasing the voltage.

At this point I am not sure I am that smart to be messing with volotage and such on the inside of this thing.
just stopped using a custom kernel. i stopped using them cause of freezing issues.
