Been A long time Lurker here at XDA, so much great info and support!!
Ok so here is my problem I have a 32GB touchpad. I have WebOS running, no problems at all. I have tried many many times installing CM7 and CM7 XRON-ified. Every version and i get into this boot loop....
I have done an ACME Uninstall....reinstalled webos with the Doctor.... fresh installs of everything... full formats of "SD Card"... I am at a loss
After i have done a fresh install i will reboot into CM and it will be working... then just reboot, and start the boot loop...ill stop it on the MBOOT menu and just let it sit then boot back into CM and it will load... then randomly just reboot and go back to the boot loop...
I am at a loss... could it be hardware related... WebOS runs find and diagnostics that i have run in webos come back clean... Any one have any thoughts?.....
If you need any other info please let me know...
Thanks

Sounds to me like the caches need wiping and another fresh install. But I'm sure you've tried this so I am at a loss.

according to the thread, it does that a few times (exact numbers havent been given) because of initial settings.
the 4 TPs ive done all had at least 2 or 3 random reboots that settled out and disappeared .

Yea, but this is actually a boot loop, not just a reboot....many times won't even boot back into cm...

FLASHING ROMS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND COULD POTENTIALLY DAMAGE YOUR PHONE -- WHILE I MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT NOT TO LET THIS HAPPEN, IT'S STILL A RISK THAT YOU'RE TAKING. IF SOMETHING BAD SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE, PLEASE DON'T BLAME ME -- HENCE THIS WARNING.
This isn't so much a ROM announcement as it is a direction to find the unofficial nightly builds of CM9 for the Droid 4 (based on Motorola ICS leaks)
Download Here from ROMbot
Download GApps Here (04/29 Goo-Inside GApps Link).
FLASH THE GAPPS.ZIP FILE AFTER YOU FLASH THE ICS.ZIP
WHAT do I need to run this ROM?
- Rooted
- Running a Motorola ICS leak (.206, .208, .211, etc)
- I recommend that you run Safestrap v2.00 to install this. Here's how to use Safestrap
And you can download Safestrap for the Droid 4 (v2.x for ICS-leak users) here:
Safestrap « Hash-of-Codes
WHAT can I expect to work right now?
- 4G and basic phone function
- All sensors
- Camera, Panorama and Face-unlock
- Video Recording
- HD YouTube
- Netflix
Current Known Issues?
- Data connection is a work in progress. It's MUCH better than it used to be in the old ICS builds, however there is always room for improvement. Due to the "global" data connection style of stock Motorola ICS, this problem will probably continue to be worked on. Feedback is always appreciated, but if you see it posted already then there's a good chance I know about specific issues.
- Currently, there is a bug in the rotation display of the phone. What I mean is, that when you take the phone and rotate it, the display will squeeze in on itself and then pop back out. This is a *known* issue and I'm working very hard to fix it.
- The CM9 built-in Wifi Tether won't work. You need to use the "Wifi Tether" app that's bundled into the ROM. Once you open it, hit [menu] and "Settings". Select "Change Device-Profile" to "Generic ICS".
- I'm sure there's more, I'll update this list here in a bit.
WHO works on this?
Myself and @DHacker29 work as a team to build AOSP-based ROMs (and device setups) for several Motorola phones. Typically, I do the coding work in C, C++ or Java while DHacker maintains the blobs, runs merges with CM/AOKP sources, and solves device issues which require less coding.
WHAT is a "nightly"?
It's an automated build ran from a script. It basically: deletes the current set of output files, sync's with github, and then attempts to do a brand new build. It can break at times, in which case we'll fix it (usually this happens when there are framework changes which didn't get merged).
WHY would I want this?
- Since we work on several devices, this is how we decided to start keeping builds up-to-date. Rather than spend several hours a week on builds and uploading. This happens automatically every night around 2am PST.
- It's up to you the community to identify good "stable" builds.

Looking great Hash! Thanks for your work.
my excitement is robust
Just tried installing using safestrap and bootlooped. Had to hard reboot to get back to safestrap recovery and back in to stock ROM. Anyone else tried this yet? Might try again tonight when I get home and let the battery charge up a bit.

That was it. First time I've used safestrap. I figured since I did not have a previous ROM installed in Safemode that I did not need to wipe. Went back in, wiped data and cache and now I am in business. Looking good Hash!
One question though, I tried to wipe dalvik and it said it could not find sd-ext. Any idea what that is about?

I did the exact same thing (not wiping on a fresh safestrap). I believe that message about the sd-ext is normal when wiping dalvik.

I believe the reason behind that message is that the Dalvik cache is not stored on the sd-ext, but rather the sd, which is internal. Since theres technically 2 SD cards on our device, it looks for the dalvik on the first one. A dev would probably have better advice on it though,....I may be wrong.

Safestrap checks for a dalvik cache under a theoretical /sd-ext partition on the external SD. It's almost never there tho. So you can safely ignore that message.
So one thing I have noticed switching between stock and the ICS ROM is the battery level is not consistent. Reads 60% on stock. Reads 26% on ICS. Anybody know what's up with that?

thanks hashcode! you're the man!
Appreciate the Rom.. Runs very nicely on Droid 4. Easy install.
I know HW video is being worked on. Will that fix or update allow Movie Studio to work?
Very interested and excited about Ice Cream Sandwich and future updates to this Rom
Installed and loving it so far.
The one thing I've noticed, the phone gets really hot, and the battery usage is pretty poor. I actually watched my battery percentage drop while doing my installs of all the apps that I had to download.
I lost about 3% during that process, even when plugged into the wall charger.
I'll keep an eye on it, as I'm close to a charger at all times, so bad battery life doesn't affect me too much.
Can't wait for BT to work, as that would be the last piece in a daily driver for me.
EDIT - just discovered I'm having issues with Chrome Beta. I've never used it before, but it won't load any websites. I'll DL Dolphin for the time being, but would love to try out Chrome. Just wondering if anyone else is running into this.
Im fully installed and Chrome Browser works great along with all other functions on my end.
As for battery percentage Im not sure if im having your problem with excess heat....

Ok found out it was my charger. For some reason it wasn't actually charging and was just causing heat. Plugged it into a different charger and all is well now.
still no love with Chrome though.

Everything seems to be working perfectly for me, even the camera is working properly. I haven't tried bluetooth yet, but I'm not too worried about it, I barely use it. Wifi connects and works, no problem there. I noticed a slight lag after installing setCPU but now it seems fine. I'll check tomorrow to see how the battery life is but for now every things pretty smooth. Thanks!
Hello All,
I'm not that new to the XDA scene as I've been rooting for a couple of years now (HTC Aria, HTC One XL), however I am completely stumped as to why my HP Touchpad keeps randomly rebooting while in android. Here's the TL;DR
1. Installed moboot 0.3.5, CWM 1012, and CM9 20121212 Nightly using ACMEInstaller2.
2. Everything installed fine, except device randomly reboots within 5 min of starting up, sometimes immediately (before I can even unlock the display), sometimes even while loading the cyanogenmod splash screen.
3. I have read everything on the XDA's about this problem and scoured Google for hours to no avail. Tried clearing cache, Dalvik cache, then fix permissions. Still randomly reboots. Tried turning off beats audio in webOS. Still randomly reboots. Used ACMEUninstaller, erased webOS completely, re-rooted using ACMEInstaller3, moboot 0.3.5, CWM 1012, and CM9 20121212 Nightly. Still Randomly Reboots.
I am at the end of my ropes here, about to give up and just accept that my device is not compatible with android, even though countless others are running android with little problem. I'm just not understanding what I am doing wrong, if anything. Any comments / advice would be very much appreciated.
Peace and Love
That's odd. Maybe try a different ROM?

I've tried CM7 Alpha 3.5, CM9 Nightlys, and CM9 Fat and Creamy by SGA. CM7 was the most stable, but still I had many FC's and random reboots, though not as many as CM9.

Just tried that and it rebooted before I could even navigate to No-Frills CPU Control :/ I appreciate the input though.
It seems that once it boots, if i don't touch anything, it will not reboot while at the lock screen. I've had it charging for the past 4 hours or so while booted in CM9 and haven't ventured past the lock screen and it hasn't rebooted yet.
When you unlock it, see if you can find out what the min cpu speed. If it's @ 192, try 384 or even 432 and see if that makes a difference

I have tried both of those as well as setting both the min and max frequency to 1.2 GHz. It still reboots; seems to be independent of CPU clock speed.
I've also tried disabling all haptic feedback as well as turning the sound all the way down and turning off the keypress sounds. Still reboots.
i had the same issue. i used acmeuninstaller and removed android completely. downloaded the latest CM9 nightly and CWM and such. used acmeinstaller to install CWM, then I installed CM9 and gapps manually via CWM. check out jscullins latest CWM build. it may help.
Are you using the right Gapps zip? If you flash CM9 and are using Jelly Bean Gapps, it may have problems trying to run the Google setup at start since its meant for Jelly Bean. Just a thought.
It may be a block of bad Nand memory. Similar problems have been seen / noted in some of the other tablet forums (I hang out a lot in the Advent Vega forum) and this is not totally unknown, although not that common. It may just be an area that hasn't been used or is avoided by Webos, but comes into play with Android and the extra partitions.
Only suggestion from me would be to try AcmeInstaller3 if you haven't already as that sets different partitions to AcmeInstaller2 to allow for the space needed for CM10, but will work fine with CM9.

The only thing I did different than what you suggested here is let the ACMEInstaller3 install CM9 for me. I have not tried jscullins build of CWM though, I will give that a shot and also try installing the ROM manually after ACME has installed CWM.

I'm 99% sure I was using the right apps, and usually I can make it through the setup portion of the initial boot without a restart. Doesn't last too much longer than that though...

I've used ACMEInstaller3 the last two times I reverted everything to stock, erased and reset webOS, and started over. Still had the same problems as when I used ACMEInstaller2.

I was simply curious and discovered that this RAZR HD ROM works (almost perfectly!) on my AHD running ICS. I assume this should fully work for JB, because it's made for that kernel. So if you're on JB, please try it and let us know.

Is this the error message you guys are talking about? Also are you flashing to a freshly wiped (cache, dalvik, sys, factory data) slot or over an existing rom (i.e. dirty and not recommended)?

If that's the bug then there is a fix for it, but I didn't encounter that at all on ics.
Clean flash. I have already seen that guide but we don't have partitioning in SS.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
Damn this encryption bug. I did not see that coming due to simply being on JB.
I saw another thread say that removing the microsd and rebooting a couple of times might get you past the error message. This isn't ideal and reinserting would probably bring it back, but if it works we could then determine if all the sensors work on JB.
Nothing works on my side either I tried reboots w/o SD and tried booting off another ROM and then installing no-go

Yeah that solution seems impractical. I think a simpler solution would be to work around the internal "sdcard." I'd remove anything that involves mounting/reading that area (/data/media) and see if it boots up then. I took a look at Batakang's init files and I noticed that his omit the /storage lines that this CM10 includes.
But my first priorities are these two cpa exams on the 14th and 28th. I've been wasting too much time on this new phone :/

This boots up just fine. The ROM creator himself says it can be flashed with Safestrap: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993888
The issue is getting past the "Encryption Unsuccessful" message for those on JB. From what I've read it's because the internal sdcard cannot fully read. (Maybe a factory reset & SD wipe via stock would help by erasing any encrypted data?)

No. Its because we use a bootstrap recovery. I don't think its SS compatible because the Encryption Unsuccessful error only happens because of the incompatibility.

I have been experiencing this for a while: after rebooting my phone, the exact momment it finishes booting up, it starts shutting down, no matter what custom ROM I have flashed, so it makes me believe it's not ROM related, but related to the bootloader or something like that. after banging my head against the wall for so long I couldn't find any solution, so I'd like to know what's your opinion about it.
Edit: forgot to mention I've tried all the routine methods, cleaning dalvik/cache, wiping system, data and even internal storage without any success, that's why I believe it is bootloader related, but I'm no expert so...

i have seen this happening only when the custom kernel is not compatible with the rom installed. the bootloader has nothing to do. we just unlock it to install a different recovery image that help us install any kernel and any rom

Maybe you should reflash the .kdz file to be completely stock. If this problem still occurs, it's definitely nor ROM related.
