[Q] Grr, had to restore to factory, why? - HTC Jetstream

After using an app called TS 2 which encrypts photos and videos, my Allstream began bootlooping. It would get to the Sense touchscreen, and as soon as i pulled the ring up, boot loop began. What was the possible cause of this ?
Also, I've been spending the last2 hours getting my tablet back to normal.thankfully, all my music and data is backed up online w google or Picasa or etc.
Related question:
Though, like my synergy Rom on EVO, is there a way to enable the jetstream to automatically Download all the apps again when a flash or restore occurs? Is root needed for that?

If you checked Google to backup your apps, your apps should reinstall minus the data.

Ok. Really unhappy now. I rebooted my device after spending hours yesterday restoring it and it is still bootlooping after a factory reset. When I pull the lockscreen run, it crashes and reboots. Please help.
Possible causes?
possible fixes?

is there a chance your issue is related to that thread?

i never had bootloops myself, so i cant quite help. sorrys.

I'm unsure. I was on WiFi when it happened. I don't know of that makes a difference. Also, I had screen rotation off, so I was unable to rotate to check.
Could this glitch be fixed with root?

Also, my jetstream does not bootloop on its own. It only happens once I tell the device to reboot.
I'm afraid to reboot it now lol. It's done it twice and the hours I've out in to restoring it is not cool.
I need nandrioid!!

[Q] Using TB with 2.3.x

Is there any 2.3.x roms that will not start FCing like its their job after restoring thru TB? I've been using redux and just put a hole in my wall. I refuse to lose my apps and data.

I've had zero problem restoring my apps on 2.3, just don't restore any system data/apps and you should be fine.
Every single time I wait almost a full battery cycle to let everything settle in, then I only restore the crossed out apps that are strictly not system. Now I can't use my browser for more than 1 min. Facebook ****s out as soon as data starts pushing thru my phone. Xda seems fine. But still, the same damn problems. I have an older PM from Roman himself with his step by step method that I use everytime I flash anything cm7 based and this continues to happen. I'm about to blame it on my phones hardware and break this piece of **** in 2.

i was thinking you were going to link to some ODIN thread but LOL
thanks for the laugh haven't had a good one in a while hahaah
DONT RESTORE DATA! I DONT CARE IF IT IS NOT A SYSTEM APP! DO NOT RESTORE DATA!
TRY RESTORING APP ONLY. I BET MY 2 CENTS, NO FC's.
-Do a data/factory reset in recovery
-reboot
-RESTORE APPS ONLY
Lol. I literally would install 5 apps + data with 1 min intervals between each, then reboot and repeat. Took forever but everything is working A.O.K. I skipped swype though. I'm afraid of that *****. Yea I'm not clicking ur link there buddy, I know better. Never feed a troll.

I just went from System V to Trigger Redux (build 17). TB was not able to restore my WIFI access points or my bluetooth connections. I still have not figured out why.
BC they are linked to froyo and the "data" is not gingerbread compatable.

Finding which app is making my sg2 reboot?

Hi, I was having issues w my sg2 randomly rebooting so backed up my apps the wiped it and haven't had issues since but of course that leaves me app-less. Is there a way/app that I can log and see which app is rebooting my sg2?
Cheers

Easiest and best way would be to wipe everything and re-install your apps (I mean re-download and install, NOT restoring a backup since that's likely to cause FCs and reboots)
Recently I have had the same issue my phone randomly rebooting. Have noticed it only happens when I come back from work. Never happened while I was out, the only thing I can think of is reconnecting to my home wifi.
Will need to do more test to see if that is the case thou.

An app shouldn't be able to make your phone reboot (at least, a non-root app). The most common cause of random reboots is bad OC/UV settings. If you're running at stock clocks and voltages, on stock ROM/kernel, then you almost certainly have a hardware problem and should try to get a warranty repair if you can.
Dolphin HD has always been the cause in my experience.

There may be a crafty sneeky covert app causing the problem!! did you have any ninja games installed?
Well, my phone is rooted so that is a possibility (that maybe its s root app). I will focus on those

I have an external SD and have many apps on it. I was sure that all apps could move to SD. But had a random reboot.
Took out the SD card and the reboots disappear and as as soon as I put back the memory, it reoccurs again.
First I though it was the chip pushing against the battery and causing to reboot.
But after moving the apps back from SD to Phone (and many uninstalled) and reformat it, the reboots are gone.

when my phone was rooted i found it rebooted itself when i had usb debugging turned off, when i turned it back on the reboots stopped.
Possibly Dolphin Hd, if you installed it.

Settings app not opening

I've noticed that in the last couple of days, the Settings app doesn't work properly. At times, when I open the app, it just opens for a second and goes back to the home screen. After some time, the problem goes away on its own. Sometimes, taking out the battery and rebooting the device helps. Sometimes, it doesn't work. Anybody help me out here?

I am not really sure but this might be happening due to a virus or malware. Which RoM are you using?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Stock Gingerbread. 2.3.4!
Try installing any free antivirus and scan your phone. I recommend Netqin

It can also happen if you apply a wrong patch, or flashed something that was not supposed to be flashed on a stock ROM.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
No viruses, never flashed or patched anything! :|
maybe because cache is full, can make phone become crazy sometimes.
moreover u said ur on full stock rom without any modification. pure stock rom stores cache in phone memory and it'll be full and cluttered overtime.

Let my battery run dead and its charged, but stuck in a boot loop

I really don't wanna loose my angry birds space save, any other way out of this other than wiping? This is what happened to me on gingerbread too, apparently the flyer just does not like having its battery drained the whole way.

Bootloop on GB is Lee's ROM problem as i did experianced it onlly on his rom - FlyHigh Rom does not have that problem and been using it now for long time - very satisfied i must admit.
It was mention b4 that do not discharge Flyer completlly. As solution i guess u already did only wipe cach and dalvik and battery stats - leaving out data?
And ofc no TBackup with data on that app?
Well I didn't intentionally let the battery run dead, I was low on charge like below 20% and my son wouldn't stop crying so I was playing music to try and calm him down, and oops! It died. Yeah was on senseless, and I cleared all cache and reinstalled the Rom without whipping and no dice. I can't help but think there has to be something cached some where that is keeping it from booting. Maybe I should logcat it. How do I do that exactly?

I ran tb a couple weeks ago, whenever it was that ioiwilioi released senseless 4.1. But I played a ton of angry birds space over this weekend (sigh)
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app
So anyone got some kind of insite? Dalvik cache is boot cache right? You'd think that would do it but it's not. I wonder if I wipe the battery stats if it might help, system might still think that battery is dead.
What its doing exactly is starting up, going to the senseless boot screen, then rebooting, and after the white screen it just goes black and stalls. It's still turned on but its black. I have to shut it off through hboot right now.
Just don't get why running the battery dead would do this, my vivid has terrible battery life and I run it dead all the time. Something has to be cached that won't let it boot. Hmmm.... Maybe an hboot flash?

Make a nandroid backup then just reinstall the rom and restore data through advanced restore? Will that not work?
To run logcat - Download the Android SDK if you haven't already and open the DDMS.bat executable from /Android-SDK/Tools then plug in your tablet and boot it, then when you see your device in the top left hand box click it then Device > Run logcat
If restoring the data partition doesn't work though you can always extract the app data from the data.img in the nandroid folder
maybe try
fastboot erase cache

I had the same problem last night only my phone haha.
Well not exactly the same, but I corrupted the Framework-res.apk so it wouldn't boot, I forgot to make a backup so my only choice was to go back to the stock rom, which conveniently wouldn't flash because my phone was updated and Huawei haven't released the full package for the update! Aah. Ended up having to manually extract my sms and contacts from the data partition then downgrade the phone, reinstall the software then update it again. Never again in my life. haha.
Woo hoo it worked! Thank god, I didn't feel like setting my flyer all up again. Thanks for the suggestion!

No problem, Happy it worked haha.. Reinstalling everything is a pain :L

Thinking of taking back my S3 due to force closes??

I've been getting too many force closes with my S3... It happens with many apps and sometimes it just gets stuck for like two minutes which I can't do anything until it comes back. Have you guys had any issues? I don't know weather to take it back or do a factory data reset...

Sounds like something you installed is causing it. Factory reset it. Force Closes are typically software related.
Its happened to me a couple of times as well on the gallery and tapatalk 2 app. It is few and far between so it doesn't affect me too much.

OK. I'm going to delete some apps that I don't use and restart. Maybe it's one of those... If not, I'll factory reset it.

I currently get on XDA through my app right now...just searching for a thread listing forever...and if I hit the profile option it force closes.
Worked fine for the last week but nothing now!
Happens to me a lot when running touchwiz launcher I am now using apex and have had zero crashes. Although with android its like windows you will get force close just like windows gets blue screens its just one feature of owning an android phone but it rocks.

I used to have this problem on my OG Incredible, (haven't yet had it on my S3) and I would usually solve it by uninstalling/re-installing or clearing data on the apps that would force close. If every app is FCing though then it may just be easier to Factory Reset.
