[Q] Stuck during bootup TNT 2.0

My father brought home the G Tablet yesterday after getting it at Office Depot because it was on sale and was the last one left.
I didn't want to open it because I've had my eye on the ADAM tablet and was going to wait for it to come out and compare the two. However, he convinced me to mod the G Tablet to run TNT 2.0.
It worked fine for a while today. I got it up and running, fixed the Market, and was able to download apps and games. Then, I woke it out of sleep mode and the Market started coming up with errors. I figured that I'd just need to turn it off and boot it back up again.
The problem that I'm having is that the thing doesn't want to boot back up. It goes to the ViewSonic screen, then to the G Tablet logo, pauses for a second, then goes back to the ViewSonic screen.
I attempted to do a recovery and see if I could reinstall TNT; it refused. It will see that there is a kernel, but when it goes to install it, I get an exclamation point flashed on screen and then it goes back to the ViewSonic screen (I'm getting really sick of looking at those birds).
Is there any way to fix this, or did I have the shoddy luck to have one with bad hardware?
I didn't use Clockwork to install the firmware. I realize that that might have not been the best choice now.

I haven't had that, probably I'm still stock, but there are threads about getting out of the problem. Use forum search, in this forum. Search titles only, for 'loop'.

Thanks.
I tried flashing it again with clockwork installed to no avail. I also tried to set it back to the manufacture default, but encountered the same loop.
Looks like it's going back to Office Depot!

If you have clockwork installed then go to advanced and partition the sdcard. I use 2gb, and 0 for swap. Do a wipe data/factory reset, and a wipe cache partition from clockwork also. Problem will likely go away after that. Partitioning the sdcard will remove any data but that's the way it goes sometimes.
Then I would reflash from clockwork something like TnTLite 2.4, or the VegaN Beta 3 rom. You can do that from clockwork also.

x2 on the sd re-partition, it will most likely fix the issue. Many users have reported similar issues.
Here's the problem -- this is very common and exchanging it probably won't help as you might eventually have the problem again. You already have cm on the device, so you are 90% there already.

[Q] ICS ROM on GIO fails to start

Hi,
I have a Samsung GIO S5660 (no carrier, no lock or branding or something, originally GB 2.3.4, stockware updated to 2.3.6), rooted and installed Clockworkmod Recovery (5.0.2.6) and followed the instruction to the letter when I tried to install an ICS ROM: this one here.
I tried others too. But unfortunately the result is the same everytime. Installation successfully completes, wipe data / factory reset (tried that several times before and after installing). And when rebooting, the SamsungMobile logo is shown, the screen flashes white for a split second and goes dark but is obviously still powered up (glows a little). And then nothing happens. I have to remove the battery to bring it back to life then, which right now is of course nothing more then another reboot into recovery.
Any ideas? Am I using the wrong ROM versions? It says something about format failed when doing the wipe because of missing ext4 access ... ?! Do I have to use a different CWM Recovery? But I do use the one mentioned and linked to in the tutorial ...
Regards,
Mac

Uhm, I just had to wait a little longer for the ROM to start up. Sorry, ROM works alright.

[Q] Can't get past boot logo

Hey guys,
First off I am the newbiest of the noobs. And I think I stumbled into bricking my asus tf101. I was wondering if you incredibly amazing developers would have a work around for me
I had rooted the TF101 a while back it worked everything was fine, I was frustrated with the poor video performance and thought maybe upgraded to jellybean may improve some speed issues with the tablet. So I ran off did some fast googling and found a forum that posted the nightlies. (Team EOS from this site)
I downloaded the first one (right to the tablet) booted into the root bootloader thing (yea im so noob I don't even know the proper wordage) and installed from that.
Now when it boots it sits at a 4 colored square logo that rotates a pules. each little piece glows (like it's loading) but it just sits there forever. i have waiting 10-15-30-45 minutes nothing.
I was wondering if there was a way I could download a new jellybean file on a SD card, and somehow install over with that?
Could really use the help and need it explained to me like im 2 ..
Really sorry to have to ask guys. Save me!

It's a very well discussed issue here and in the teameos thread.
Did you do a full cache, dalvik, system and factory reset of the device through recovery?
Which recovery are you using? (you probably need a newer one)
If you can still boot in recovery (you should) then wipe cache, dalvik, system, do a factory reset (does not wipe sdcard but you will lose all other data) and finally reflash the rom.
If you can't boot in recovery for whatever reason, you can use easyflasher to go back to stock then start over. Frederuco made an awesome post detailing the entire procedure on transformerforums.

G3/Apollo after custom rom it resets itself

Hi guys newby here and certainly newby on the android custom firmware user.
So i recently acquired a G3 (free) that was (and still is) in a bad shape. Can't use the side volume buttons as they were ripped off the motherboar
Also the stock firmware was a locked (by password).
So i decided to upgrade firmware to a custom rom. Tried the M12 rom but in the recovery could not do wipe (due to volume buttons) and although it worked, everytime i turn phone off then on i have to enter all the preferences from afresh.
Flashed a kernel with touch recovery (v5.0.2.8) and this helped a lot and i am now able to do wipe/reset wipe cache but after that an error comes with E: can't mount cache... can't mount etc etc etc and when it gets to do wipe dalvick cache it does not give me even the option to do that!
Any help? thank you in advance.

Actually, i had some similiar issues, some months ago... i actually ignored it, because it didn't bother me that much, but then once after restarting all my apps were gone...
so i guess it has something to do with the filesystem, because in g3mod.log there was an error on booting because fsck (the filesystemcheck of android) didn't return a clean filesystem...
i experimented a little and formated cache from recovery, that seemed to do the trick once, but not always...
running e2fsck forced with all yes through adb shell repaired my filesystem and since then i didn't have any problems anymore, but i don't know if that's so good doing with an installed rom, because maybe some systemfiles are ruined after that, who knows?
could you maybe post the exact errors from recovery...
Does your phone boot? How did you manage to get into download mode and recovery without using your volume buttons?

The phone does boot and works as it should now... albeit i can't get any sim card to work with it.Although there is a possibility that this phone is actually blacklisted (reported lost or stolen).
I used odin to flash different kernels, at the moment i am using G3Mod kernels and that supports touch recovery, and i ve also got CM9 as the main operating system. after that i use the reboot in recovery options from phone, thats the only way.

try making a fs.convert file
try making a custom fs. convert file n putting it in ur SD. else try this app g3mod configuration from play store n convert the filesystem as required by ur rom n kernel. U should check the dev page for supported file systems. Even I faced similar problems b4 on kyorarom. But now everything is fine.

Problem with BlissPop: Stuck at "BlissPop is starting..."

Hello to everyone, posting this here as I don't have access to ask in the forum post for BlissPop - I.E fresh user
I'm having issues with my "recalled" shield tablet (wifi), I had it flashed to BlissPop successfully previously but when I tried reflashing it the other day I was met with a major roadbump: It just won't load the ROM.
The tablet freezes at the screen following the installing and optimization of each application - basically my screen is stuck at a small wall of text saying the following:
"BlissPop is starting...
Powered by Team Bliss
Starting apps.
Please wait for the optimization process to finish."
And before you ask, yes I have waited long enough (left it on through the night just to be sure - this thing won't load).
My procedure is as follows.
Bootloader is CWM and it is rooted beforehand.
1st off going into recovery mode.
#2 Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache - done
#3 Installed BlissPop via sideload, then gapps_pico afterwards (I've tried wiping cache+dalvik before installing gapps to no help.)
#4 Rebooting from CWM, here I've tried both allowing and denying CWM to "fix" root settings.
I've tried the first ROM I installed (when wifi/lte versions were available) and the newer releases - same problem with both.
After this I am met with this screen that won't budge, anyone got a possible solution to this issue?

Hey I just received my replacement tablet and was going through this process too. I did some digging around and found / remembered that having an external SD card socketed can cause this problem. So I powered my device off, removed the card and then rebooted without major issue.
Hope this helps.

I don't have any SD card in my tablet though, thanks anyways.

Did you format system?
If not then do format system/data/cache

Tried doing a format of system as well as data/cache/dalvik, still getting same result :/

Not sure its still helpful or not...i saw the xda thread regarding to this thread and whoever tried to flash the last zip got stuck at boot. So I'm guessing if you will flash a different one (by this time maybe they upload a new one) maybe you could get rid of it..

When I switched to BlissPop I had to format /data because TWRP was unable to wipe it. TWRP offers that option unter "advanced wipe". Might be the same with CWM.

any help my phone stuck on this boot loop and i dont know what to do now , any fix ? i dont wanna have broken phone i did everything that u guys said nothing works
