[Q] Booting question - General Questions and Answers

hi,
after trying to look for my answer and asking in the right Q&A (X10)
and getting no responses or find my hope in finding an answer rests upon you all!
if i am violating any rules by posting here pls let me know and it wont happen again.
here it goes.
my xperia x10i running CM7Zmod and doomkernelsV6 UL BL
has a few (wouldnt call it a problem) but issues that bug me .
1) unlocked bootloader did it succesfully and still takes a whole amount of time to start up . normal ? (its going straight to doomkernels, then the blue led (fastboot i believe) and then my boot animation
2) lesser problem but non the less my bootanimation seems to be to long it wont get the chance to finish before being interupted by the ''enter pin'' screen
any way i can get around that ?
and thats it .
thnx in advance.

I don't own the device, so this ain't specific...v
Startup time tends to become longer in a lot of custom roms as they are loaded with scripts, which run on boot...
Unless a dev specifically does work on shortening bootup time, your boot time will be long...sometimes longer than stock roms...
Do other users also face unusual bootup time?
With regards to bootanimation...find another bootanim which is modded for your phones resolution, rename it to bootanimation.zip and using root explorer, place it in system/media, and set permissions as rw-r--r-- (or whatever the default was)...this should work, unless there is a different procedure for your device...
Typed using a small touchscreen

Thnx for the answer and ofc the thnx button got pressed
Tseems to be the same with other roms as i posted here i actually managed to get a response on the x10 forum
Go figure. So all is well and normal

[I5800XXJPA] Original Stock Android Lock

Hello ..
I was boring by the samsung glass lock screen, so, using a tip for the galaxy S which you can found (here, i made a fix for our Galaxy 3 to have the cool lock screen from stock android
So here is the simple method (For the ones who are in I5800XXJPA) :
push the android.policy.odex attached to this post to your phone, copy it to /system/framework, and it's done (make a backup of your /system/framework/android.policy.odex before ).
Reboot, you will see the new lock screen (maybe not immediately, don't ask me why).
If you want to build a new one, you just have to follow the instructions in the topic above, but at the part 4, just replace:
"GlassLock" with "TapLock" in the method.
I'm not responsible if you brick, damage, explode your phone. If i were you, i wouldn't do that before i know how to flash my phone.
the android.policy.odex supplied DOESN'T work on other firmware than I5800XXJPA (at least, it shouldn't so don't try), if you want it on another firmware, you have to do it yourself.
It works for me (Samsung Galaxy i5800 "Teos", bought from SFR, France, firmware I5800XXJPA).
Can you please post a screenshot before I explode my phone
Here it is
thank you very much working in my galaxy.
You're welcome
I found out a bug: If you have a new message, the Glass lock might appear... I'm trying to fix it.
jap, same thing happend to me, it would be grate if you coukd fix it

Thanks for this. I installed this, and it works nicely, although the Glass lock appears when a missed call or message is there. And another thing. On the stock lock, the phone can be unlocked by pressing the menu button instead of dragging the unlock slider. Is this normal for the stock lock or is it another bug?

Flash with JPA. You have to re-put your provider's APN on the phone (it's in the settings, in "mobile networks").
its ok now im with JPA ;]
I'll port this on JPB soon in next week. And make a automatic patch script for Linux users .

HTC Hero Bricked - Please Help

Hi guys, I'm new here.
I have a problem... And I have tried very hard to find a fix over the past few days, but no result. So here I am.
I have a HTC Hero, which was running Android v2.1-update
I rooted it, and used a corrupted rom.
Now I cannot use it. When I start the phone, it takes ages to load, then I am presented with a strange unlock screen. I unlock it, and I am presented with a white HTC-Logo screen. If I wait long enough, a menu appears asking me which update to apply. I select the first, and I am given a choice of 3 languages. I select English, and hit Next. This is where I am stuck. I have an o2 simcard (which works fine) and it doesn't detect it. It keeps asking me to insert the simcard with an animation on how to do this.
I'm not sure if this could be called "Bricked" as I don't really know the meaning of the term, but either way, a Brick is the only thing it's good for right now.
I am desperate for some help. I have just bought it and am feeling kinda sick now. I learned my lesson. Don't Root!
Thanks in advance!
Well..."don't root" is not really a lesson, just when you do something next time, you have to make sure that you are doing everything correct, and following 100% the guides that you find here in XDA..
My Hero is rooted since I bought it...
Anyway, Do you have recovery installed? Amon RA or clockworks?
To find it out, just turn off you phone and press Home+Off button for a few second, then it will go into recovery.
From there you can copy another rom and flash it.
I am currently using Elelinux 3.6, but you can find many others.
By the way, which rom did u flash?
Hi, thanks for the fast reply
I cannot get onto the homescreen to install any apps at all, so all I got to work with is the recovery menu. Fast Boot and SimLock.
I installed what I now know to be a new lockscreen, which was about 2.5mb. So obviously not right now, but I rushed into it without looking things over properly.
I might be able to fix it, if the simcard was detected. It stops me at that point during recovery.
I rooted the device using a terminal app, but as the data has now been wiped, the app doesnt exist. And I cant reinstall it again because I cannot get to the homescreen.
You don't need to install any app, I don't understand if you have recovery installed or not.
Just press home+off button for a few seconds when your phone is OFF.
What do u see?
That gives me the red ! sign, and I can get a menu up by pressing volUp+off
This menu has Fast Boot and SimLock.
Yes, that is the normal bootloader, that means you don't have recovery installed.
You could try to unroot your phone by install the HTC sync software on your PC first, then use it to reinstall the stock RUU 2.1, that you can find on the HTC website:
http://www.htc.com/nl/help/htc-hero/#download (change the language)
Once you have done that, you should be able to root it again if you want, but make sure you will install recovery this time.
Look for the guides in the Hero forum, or you can use this:
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/threads/how-to-root-the-2-1-ruu-or-ota-update-for-the-hero.1930/
Hi. I found this a while ago, and tried it. But I cannot enable USB Debug, as I cannot do ANYTHING on the device...
I just ends up giving me a 170 error, always.
Are u talking about the HTC sync driver?
Yes. I think so.
RUU_Herrange_UK_2.73.61.66_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
It starts a utility up which tells me to make sure the device is connected via usb to my pc, check battery is 30% or higher and something else.
Then it tells me to wait, and returns a 170 error.
Then you should check the HTC Hero forum or Google for any suggestions, I am sure people had the same problem in the past.
I am afraid I can't help you more than this, I am no developer..
Okay, thanks anyways
I have already raked Google and help forums, coming here is my last resourt.
Keep searching, I am sure there is a way to fix it, I have read so many things about the Hero in this two years, unfortunately I forgot most of it...

[Q] lg g2x install JB.. now frozen on boot

hey everyone!
yesterday, I got really tired of froyo so I said ''f$%? it, lets try to root my phone and install jelly bean, that look really slick!''
. well looks like everyone as to start somwhere..
so my problem right now, I am stuck at the custom LG logo, I cant hard reset and even my recovery boot but the menu wont pop up and simply restart my phone..
basicaly, I feel screwed right now does anybody can help me on this?
it is probably something super stupid and simple but I can'T find any solution so I decided to join this forum for a bit of support..
EDIT: my mistake, it went in the wrong section
thx a bunch!
Usually run this when I cluster f my phone

Did you install the adampk rom?

no I haven't...
so far , what I did is
root the pone with the one clicker (wich was a success)
did the recovery with the clockworkmod recovery thing,
restarted and exectued this website's tutorial to jellybean (start with WWW stuff.androidauthority.com/g2x-p999-t-mobile-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-unofficial-115536)
and then, look like it failed..
this morning, I managed to get back to the recovery boot screen and found that if I press the house icon it show up a menu.. but this menu giving me access to reboot, wipe cache, data or install update.zip (which was supposed to fix my problem) but this menu is blued out and unaccessible..
dunno if it helped..
right now, I am trying to get acces to my phone doing the no battery boot thing but my pc doesnt seem to recognize my phone + I am at work hehe so I am pretty much limited in acces due tu the it protection and firewall stuff
I am gonna try to redo that stuff tonight at home but meanwhile, if any of what I described may give you a clue on how to help me, I really appreciate the effort!
thanks again for the support guys, I know it can be a pain sometimes to help people screwing some beginner stuff like I probably do right now

I say you needed to use the g2x android development forums on this site to find a suitable jb rom, not this other site. The one click method isn't very stable, so nvflash is most definitely what you need to try to get working. There are very thorough tutorials on how to get that to work. Do you know which clockwork recovery version you have installed? Should be 5.0.2.0. Once you get home, I suggest you read read read. Do as much research you can to make sure you can follow nvflash instructions to the letter. I know I personally spent about a week researching to make sure I had a solid understanding of the procedure.
I recommend getting nvflash going to get clockwork properly installed, then download a rom from xda, nowhere else. I would even say use a gb rom before trying a jb ...the jb roms are hackfest versions, so they have (from my experience) much poorer battery life, and lack hardware acceleration. Netflix and many 3d games won't work. You can use adampk or mazout's roms but they don't have working radio, i.e. no phone/SMS functionality.

Boot into recovery, there should be an option to format or wipe system. Do that then flash the ROM. It won't boot if you flash it over stock.
Also, use the paranoid android rom found in the development section, same cyanogenmod base but works better.

Ok, wait I think I understand what you're saying now. If you can, pm the op of that thread you used to unbrick. Ask that person if you need some kind of different file in that .zip file to work on your carrier.
I remember having to use that guide to get back to stock. Glad to see you're making progress. I know it can be frustrating when devices get wacky. Good luck!

hehehe sorry, I am not fully used to the right terms so I rather stay in the gray zone by using words like ''thing''
but I can now oficially say I was talking about ROMs
finally, I managed to bring back my phone to the stock mode everything seem to work!
now I can brick it again!
thx for the help!
I began to wonder if it was just a matter of changing APN settings?

[Completed] stupid andriod reset.. im lost

soo i dont even know what todo or even where to ask... everything i search on multiple websites is irrelevant.. im probably looking in the wrong places.. any help or a finger in the right direction would be amazing..
i have a boost branded htc one sv that ive had rooted for over a year. havent done much with my root capabilities other then enable my wifi tether and install useful apps that require root.. havent really messed with to many roms or anything too crazy.
well i soon relized that after i rooted it when i lost battery power the phone would boot into my teamwin recovery mod and freeze... it would still charge however just wouldnt respond. after a bit i would just pull that battery to get out of the frozen screen, boot into the bootloader and select recovery. then the TWRP would actually respond when it booted! just selected reboot system and off i went until the next time i completely wore out the battery. this was annoying but didnt bother me too much because everything still worked fine..
now about month or two ago while trying out some new apps my phone randomly shut off.. then after that everytime it started back up it has about enough time to load everything up and shuts off again.. and again and again stuck in a reboot loop.. ive tried deleteing temp files and checking what logs i can find but nothing helped.. the only way i can get out of this loop is to do a factory restore/wipe using the recovery mod. then the phone works normally again and i still have root.
but now wether or not i install anything after the reset, if i have a power loss i go through the same thing as normal starting it up as i always have done and it goes right back into the reboot loop.. here i go with yet another reset.... ive pushed this issue to the back of my todo list many times due to a very busy schedule recently but its very aggravating and i dont know how to go about fixing..
Hi!
I can't seem to find a specific guide to return to stock for your device, which is what you likely need to do.....but I found a great index thread with all kinds of info and file links....

If you need more help, here is the Q&A section for your device...you can ask for help here...
>*Legacy & Low Activity Devices*>*HTC One SV*>*One SV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
Thanks i couldnt find the forum for my phone... such a huge and awesome place to find info just hard to locate sometimes.. i already had that index thread bookmarked from before but i suppose ill give it another look.
if a admin or mod wants to move this thread to that q&a forum go for it.. not trying to double post but im still looking for a answer..
i would atleast like to know what i did or what went wrong for me to have these issues in the first place.

somethimes on phone start stuck in a loop of screen turn on for 20 sec and then off and its like that until i remove battery, all before rom logo, same thing if i try use buttons combination for recovery or whatever i press in any combination nothing changes.
This is not my first smartphone but is of this kind and funny companies, had problems before with Sony, Samsung but in this extent never, always find YOU guys everybody clever in some fields and as a community more than THE BEST, as you can see i dont post or seek answers by asking, i rather research until now. I fell hopeless, useless and never more stupid, or i m just tired of looking for the answer. In some other case i would give it to my child to play the games an to hell with this phone but its my wife's and she dont want to by a new phone for some reason. Help me to be the man of the house again, kidding, loosing it....
I think I gave you overall picture of the phone state and someone might show me the way to have fully working phone. I forgot, if you are wondering how do i charge battery, well I take it out twice a day and charging on the base of other broken phone, that part i did cover, help me with the rest.
