[Q] What did I do to my phone??

For the most part I was just looking for the wifi tether app. So I did one click root and everything was still good. Downloaded rom manager, everything was still good, installed the clockworkmod. Phone rebooted and I had to do the update thing. Phone rebooted, still good. Installed busybox and lost the ability to usb tether my phone. Removed the busybox and got tether back. Downloaded the beast update and told rom manager to reboot into recovery and installed update, rebooted, update didn't take, did it again and still nothing. Finally booted phone and manually entered recovery mode and ran update. This one took. Now I go to try run the wifi app and it force closes. Tried to run super user app, force close. Tried to run rom mananger to restore last backup and super user fails there too. Any ideas?

This doesn't belong in development.
I would suggest you flash back to stock using Odin.

Post in Q&A
You removed busybox which is necessarily for many rooted apps, hence you get a lot of FCs

Why don't you pruds try to help and not criticize that is what is wrong with this Dev Forum God forbid if you all come down off your this is a dev forum.

It looks like you rooted twice with 2 different apps. Not sure what that would do bit it cant be good.
I would one click to stock, then run unleash the beast and be done with it.

Moved to Q&A.

Thank for moving it to the correct forum, I guess I figured since it was a problem with something from dev that is where I should post, my bad. As for the rooting twice the post said it was ok if you were already rooted.

Ok, so I used the one click root and took it back, re ran unleash and still same problem. According to the post it should install busy box at the time of the installation. It didn't, I downloaded it but it won't install.

Thanks, I flashed back with odin. I was able to install the beast, however wifi tether continually crashes with force close. I tried to update with the new install but it still crashes.

Dude. So let me get this straight. You don't like it when people just complain and don't help, and yet I helped (well, tried, sorry it didn't work lol) and then let loose a rant about posting in the right area, and then you complain and don't help.....???

Problem with SenseLX rom

I follow all steps, then when the main home screen comes on, the box saying loading, may take several minutes won't go away, I waited like 10 to 15 minutes and still nothing, anyone else having this problem?
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA App

Hey.
Yeah I had the same problem. I tried flashing again and it seemed to work..until i rebooted and it deleted all my settings and went back to the initial "setup".
Try flashing the ROM again without wipe. Hopefully it'll remain working for you..
I ended up switching to some unknown ROM that had nothing on it...COMPLETELY barebone..it's running FAST..

Right two things lol did you make sure you had a swap partition.and did you make sure to flash the minfree AFTER the loading of the homescreen??

Loved the rom but when i reinstalled apps with titainium all the HTC widgets disappeared. I erased all data from all files and from the htc sense app (worked in LegSense) but they seem no still not be there. I used root explorer and found all the apks but it wont reinstall them. Any Ideas?

I honestly don't know what it's called. It had no name to it when I got it..just a bunch of random numbers and letters.
As for dwang, it's based off donut right? Basically the ROM I'm running is similar to dwang but it's based off froyo. It's probably even more barebone than dwang. It honestly came with nothing on there..i just added gapps and was good to go.

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.

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

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.

phone wont get past viperrom screen

can someone help me asap please. about an hour ago i was using my phone normally, locked the screen with the button, then a couple minutes later tried to unlock the screen to check my browser but it wouldnt turn on. it was like it turned off. the only way to get it back on was by doing the power plus vol down to go into bootloader. i did that and rebooted everything worked normally on the reboot. i sent a text and locked it. a few minutes later i went to unlock it again to check something but it wouldnt turn on again. this time on the reboot nothing worked. it would reboot and just sit on the screen where it says Viper ROM wtih the red V flashing. i went into recovery and reflashed the rom, now it loaded up, did the "updating apps "x out of xxx" and after that it went to "android is upgrading...starting apps" with the spinning circle on the left. it has been stuck on this screen for about 5 minutes now and the circle is still spinning. what should i do?
edit: ive been on 1.1.0 viper rom for months now, since it first came out and havent had problem up until today. havent messed with any settings or anything. i really am trying to avoid doing a system wipe cause i have important texts i cant lose.

This would be better suited and more likely to be adressed in Q/A or better yet the Viper Rom thread.
