Phone restarting after being untouched for 2 (CM7) min

So i got cm7 on my phone last week and ever since i got it when i leave the phone on for more that 2 min the phone will just turn itself off and restart and show the cyanogenmod logo with the little android guy on the skateboard (same as once you turn on the device) and all the apps and everything is shut off. What is happening, is this normal?

Still looking for a solution

Flash back to stock to see if it does it there. Then reflash CM7.

Maybe you restored system data from a different ROM and it broke something. Flash back to stock and then follow the direction to a T on flashing CM7. Do not restore anything and see if you have the issue.

I used cm7 for 2 weeks to see what all the fuss is about. I had the problem you where describing. in my case it was caused by restoring too much stuff from titanium back up. follow the instructions and you shuld be fine.
After getting it working I did not like cm7 so I uninstalled it and went to the i9000 gingerbread based ROMs(I am using continuum) and dident look back.
Us cappy owners are fortunate to have such a rich developer community with so much to choose from.

Daaaaaaang, zio threads are hella dead!

WOW! HOLY CRAP THIS PLACE IS DEAD! Its been a while since I read around these Zio places. Yup, my ol Zio still bootlooped (its around here somewhere). I tried all the "guides" n zip's and skd's and all that other.....stuff, its koo gathering and installing stuff and gettin that lil rush of hope, but then one lil thing goes wrong or ain't in the step-by-step guied, BOOM- all bad, and nobody's around all of a sudden. Alot of HERE, TRY THIS POST FROM SO N SO (not for the Zio), GO TO BLAHBLAH.COM install that n profit (evil setup to rom someone's phone AND wipe it clean), BUT ITS ALL MY BAD, NEWBIE like me shouldn't mess with roots n roms. Don't get me wrong, if I can find somebody that would fix it for cash, id go back to my zio and chuck this HALLWIE A2 (whatever its called) to a dev. Well, I'm probly gona get smashed for posting this. DEEEEP BREATH........K, I FEEL BETTER NOW.
Now I'm soo broke I cant even pay attention!

What you need help on? Bootloop fix? I can help you. Pm me on the details. Could you still get into faatboot or recovery? What service sprint or cricket!?

My zio is messed up too. I have no home/launcher or whatever you wanna call it. I can't get to settings to enable usb debugging either so none of the adb stuff works for me (so far). New to this and I don't want to buy another phone just yet. More details can be provided as to how this happened if needed. ty.

Not sure where it is but there was a fast boot zip of launcher apk. If you boot your phone into fast boot and cwm copy the zip to the phone and then flash the zip to your Zio it should resolve the issue

openZIO Rom issue
Hi, I just installed the openZIO 2.1.2 ROM. Everything worked fine, but after rebooting and going through the initial set up (i.e. the google user setup blahblah) the VTL Launcher continually force closes and I can't do anything but go back and recover my original boot.img has anyone else had this kind of issue? Any possible fixes? Any help would be appreciated, I know not to many people are in using the Zio forums anymore... but yeah.. Thanks in advance

Try Reflashing again
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium

I've actually already done that, and it's still doing the same thing. I've deleted and re-downloaded the ROM, and re-flashed it to my phone, and still having the same issue. VTL Launcher just continually force closes, and it sucks cause I've been waiting months to get to install the ROM cause I couldn't afford a new USB cord. I've read so much on this ROM and everything for the Zio and was excited to actually be able to overclock my phone, and get some pretty good performance boosts out of it. Now I got one, and can't get it to work.. what a sad day

Could you explain your steps when flashing?
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium

well I first move the .zip to the sd, then power down and boot up CWM, and "install from SD card" and once it's finished flashing, I reboot the phone. when it comes back up my kyocera logo comes back up and it takes me through the first-boot programming (google sign-in) and once I input my un/pw and sign in, it tells me that VTL had an error and must hit force close. and once I hit force close it continues to come up saying the same thing over and over again. so I rebooted my phone, still the same thing. SO I go back through and flash it back to my original boot.img. I have gone through and completely deleted the openZIO 2.1.2.zip file and re-downloaded it, and gone through the same steps to see if maybe it was just a bad file somehow. But to no avail, still having the same issues.

After you boot into cwm : wipe cache partition, then go into mounts and storage, format: system, data, cache :then go into advanced and wipe dalvick cache.
Now flash rom
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium

Ok just went through with what you had mentioned, and still getting the same results. "Sorry! The application VTL.Launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. with the only option to force close. As soon as I force close, the same message pops up

Have you tryed flashing my rom?
I would try that, and see what happens.
You can always push a launcher with adb or Droid commander.

doing this now actually.. been reading for the last hour or so and seems like you did some good work on the ROM. it's flashing now, hopefully all works well I'm excited to see how it goes.
Well it flashed and well... seems to be having a strange issue.
When switching screens, it seems to glitch out? Like you see the icons, and when you switch screens, it's like the icons move but it freezes different frames. imma re-flash it in the morning to see if that helps any.

Was your phone acting like that before you flashed openzio?

Nope, I've never had these issues before. And I can still flash it back to my original boot.img and it works like before. I've never had any problems with it, so that's why I'm surprised this is happening lol

Galaxy tab 8.9 LTE force closes

I have been getting a lot of force closes on my AT&T LTE tab over the last couple of weeks. Mainly gmail, Android browser and the google services framework.
Is anyone else seeing this same issue?
I rooted the tab back in December, but haven't had any issues outside this recent spat of fcs.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using XDA App

I havent seen this.
Did you install CWM? if so you can try fixing permissions.

I get the same issue. orlando where do you change the permissions at in the file system?

You can fix permissions with CWM recovery.
Are you guys using the regular root kernel, or the OC kernel?
This stumps me, because I cant figure out why it would work fine for a month and then start to have FCs.
If you have CWM try clearing your cache and dalvik.
Since the tablet is so similar to the skyrocket, I would suggest reading this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386234
*dont do what the OP says though, just read it for info*
This also may be of help, but it would have to be modified. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487706

I am running the normal root kernel, and no cwm installed.
I will read those threads, try the cwm permissions fix, and report back.

My force closes only happened after installing the OC with the LIB's pushed. I did the permissions fix and cleared the cache and dalvik. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hmmm. Started getting FC on YouTube now. Also am on stock. Not sure what happened but has been like this since yesterday. Not getting any other FC's though.
Sent from my GT-P7300 using xda premium

this is weird indeed.
The YouTube issue is widespread across tabs.

Yup I'm experiencing the same issues with Youtube. I didn't pay attention to Youtube because I don't watch videos via Youtube on my tab that often.

Looks like YouTube issue was fixed last night for tablets. This might not resolve OP but thought might be linked hence brought it up.

I have been talking to thederekjay, and he has written a tool for a more complete wipe than CWM can provide.
read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487706
I checked out the script and the partitions are the same.
I am thinking that maybe running this after flashing clockworkmod and the custom kernel would aleviate FC's if multiple people are having them.
I dont know though, and the tool needs to be tested. I will let you know what he says.
EDIT: He said this should work. I sent him the output from my adb shell mount with partition layout.

I used the script. it ran fine.
really scary when i flashed the stock rom through odin and it froze at the ATT logo. wouldnt boot past.
i booted into 3e recovery and wiped data factory reset and it worked fine after that. feels slightly faster but that just might be a placebo effect.

yea its fixed.
my only suggestion to the other people seeing force closes is to maybe flash stock, and root without using a custom kernel....
OP, are you still seeing FCs?

OP...has your problem been resolved?

Since fixing the permissions I have had any force closes

boot looping when I update with Viperboy 1.1.0

I am rooted on a Sprint One and had stock HTC. Then downloaded the Viperrom 1.0.4 and had no trouble get it on, did not loose any of my settings or folders. Now when I download and try to run the viper 1.1.0 zip, it does the install and starts up shows my walpaper and icons appropriately, then crashes and constant reboots to the same point. Able to get on to recovery and reinstall the back up i had made with no rpoblems.
What do I need to do? If I wipe, what do i wipe? Have TWRP.
Will I loose all my settings and data?
Please help

Under advanced wipe select the first 4(dalvik,cache,system,data).
Then reflash the Rom.
You will lose settings.

Thanks, will try that in the morning.
Is there anyway we can save settings and restore them after upgrades?

Do NOT do this. It will wipe everything including your internal SD card
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2

I did the same thing as you. Mine got caught in a bootloop, I couldn't get the damn thing to force restart either. The bottom home & back key just kept flashing no matter how long I held it. I had to wait forever for the battery to die. I think something might be wrong with the restart fail safe HTC built in. So I relocked it, flashed back to stock, go to sprint store of course it reboots perfect every time. The people at the store are morons I hate going there. The guy says to me you just hold it down and the restart menu will come up. I'm like if the phone is frozen that doesn't work. None the less I don't expect them to replace something that is working. So I re-unlocked, cleared everything and installed latest build fresh works great haven't had any issue. I didn't back up either so I had to re set everything up which takes forever. I'm not a fan of restoring backups anyway as it can cause issues. I will be doing a nandroid next time and be more careful with dirty flashing. I always dirty flashed on MeanBean on my LTE without issues and Mike made it very clear when dirty update was not advised. In my opinion they shouldn't release a major update that will bootloop a phone over goo manger. It's still my fault but I didn't think twice about it when I tried to update viper. It still pisses me off that I have to fight with it to get the phone to reboot, the entire point of a fail safe is incase something goes wrong. It's the first time I have ever bootlooped a phone.

I do this everytime I flash a new Rom and it doesn't wipe my internal SD...

Thanks all, I am just where I was. so many opinions and would like to have a concensus.

It won't wipe internal unless you specifically check it in advanced. Never wipe internal, but davlic, cache, data and system are fine and constitutes a full wipe..you should always wipe that way when trying different roms or going to a new base. Or use a superwipe script to make things easier.

same problem
ive had the same problem, i actually had to use the ruu to get back to stock, unlocked it again s-off rooted and no matter what i do everytime i install any custom rom it goes into bootloop. ive tried every rom on here i cant even get viperrom to fully boot up. looking thru all the forums nobody has a clear answer as to why this is happening.

im stuck in boot loop after the viper rom and i just got it yesterday .. i dont know what to do at this point . when it does boot it ask me for the wifi login and fails says poor connection when its right next to me

Boot Loop
I'm also stuck in boot loop. I've done research and tried all kinds of stuff with no luck. This is what I get...
Phone boots
I get the notification bar and a black screen
Can't do anything with that.
After about a minute, it reboots.
Can anyone help with this? I have the 1.31 version. Clearing cache/data/delvik does nothing for me.
Can someone help me get it back to stock, or at least usable?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Stuck on Boot S-5 Screen

Hi I have an A&TT S900A. I just installed Unity Rom and upon reboot all is the S-5 Boot screen without ever getting to safestrap. How can I fix this?

I can tell you the same thing hapenned to me and going back to stock was my only option. The only thing to remember here though is that the file to odin back to stock will wipe everything off your internal memory, so you should probably make a back up of your internal memory first if you can. Good luck man.

Thanks a lot. I don't see an Odin return to stock thread specific to this model, so I assume it's pretty standard and will look for just a general walk through online.

ok odin worked fine, now to try if I can get this rom to install again... Thanks for the help!
