[Q]Stock rom stuck on booting: Android is upgrading...;Starting Applications - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody thanks for your help in advance,
My SGs2 is currently running siyah kernel v6.0.0.12 (the fancy one with touch recovery and dual boot).
The problems started when i recently switched from SuperSu to the open-source alternative Superuser. I'm using an app called live logcat (by Chainfire). It shows the logcat entries live as a boot animation. It was all hassle free when I used SuperSu with it. After switching to Superuser it kept getting root permission over and over for at least a minute (a previously common problem). So I was looking forward to getting it fixed since other users reported the same problem. So whenever a new version came out, I tried if it was finally fixed.
After updating to the latest version yesterday and starting the app once again, the phone crashed with the screen turning black (status bar still visible). It then rebooted and a message stating
Android is upgrading..
Starting applications
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
appeared. Whenever I reboot my phone this message appears and won't go away. I can access recovery but clearing cache and/or dalvik cache makes the window say: Optimizing application <x> out of <y>. When it is through with optimizing, 'starting applications' reappears.
I honestly have no idea what else to do.
So my question is how can I get that darn thing to boot correctly?
I'm looking for a solution which doesn't involve factory reset.
If anybody can help he/she is much appreciated.

[Q] Device goes into Kernel Panic faster than I can make any change

I've had Cyanogenmod 9 nightlies on my SGS2 since April. I didn't install every single one, but pretty much only those with good ratings, specifically those that had no complains about battery drain and heating...
Currently on the 06-28-2012 nightly. This ran fine at first, but over time, it started to occasionally crash into Kernel Panic. I figured I'd just pick a new nightly, but then I ended up having to travel and installation of a new nightly got delayed.
Now I'm home, and I can't use the phone at all, cause it crashes into Kernel Panic almost as soon as I unlock the screen after Android finishes booting. The last thing I see up in the message bar is "WhatsApp error" and the screen goes dark. It won't stay on long enough for me to uninstall WhatsApp or select factory reset from the system menu.
I don't think its a problem with WhatsApp, cause WhatsApp used to run fine, while Kernel Panics originally mainly seemed to happen after I got a "storage full" message. In response, I deleted a load of pictures after rebooting, to make sure there's free space, but it kept crashing occasionally, till now, its just unusable.
I've tried to flash a stock Samsung ROM (I9100XWLPG_I9100XXLPX_I9100NEELP4_HOME.tar.md5) but that hasn't been working either.
Kies drivers are installed on my Laptop. Odin sees the phone too.
I followed the instructions from the rom page, changed no settings in Odin, just picked PDA and selected the ROM.
Odin goes "Added" when I plug in the phone, verifies the ROM, then the whole thing hangs on "setting up connection"
So I unplug, pull the battery and then reboot, which works fine, but once booted, it won't stay on longer than a few seconds.
Anyway, does anyone have any clever ideas how I can get out of this Kernel Panic loop?

What's preventing you from factory resetting from recovery?
Lack of knowledge is preventing me!
How do you factory reset from the "Kernel Panic Download Mode"...?
Download Android Commander from here:
http://androidcommander.com/
Boot your phone, don't unlock.
Start Android Commander, navigate to /data/apps and delete WhatsApp's apk (com.whatsapp1.apk or something like that) or rename it to .apk.bak
Restart your phone without unlocking.
Hope the errors gone.

[Q] phone stuck on booting screen after updating apps.[SOLVED]

Hi!
I just updated some apps from google play, I think it was google search, text to speech and some apps and a game that I have on my phone. I later get a phone call from a friend and when I hang up I get this message that gapps have been crashed. I pressed okay and thought nothing more than that. But then I get this warning signs about more and more things are crashing. I decide to turn my phone off and now it is stuck on the kernel screen (DorimanX Kernel)
I use ReVolt v4.3 and I have done nothing else with the phone except updating some apps. I can boot to recovery so I tried to clean the dalvik cache and the regular cache but it still wont start.
EDIT: I solved it by also using the fix permission that is an option in CWM. It is working alright for now. I guess it was some issues with the new apps permission that made the phone stuck on boot screen!

[Q] Help. Phone acting weird

Hello all,
Since couple of days my phone is acting really weird. Here are the specs:
Brand: Huawei U8800 ideos X5
Rom : Aurora 4.1, update 20
Recovery: cwm
I was installing an app from the market and suddenly the phone restarts and every app starts to crash (Unfortunately...... has stopped) with the downloading app stuck at the notification at 80 % forever without progressing. The weird thing is I can't uninstall any app. I can uninstall, but after booting every app uninstalled appears as if it's not Uninstalled at all.
So I decide to do a factory reset using CWM. Cwm says reset is successful, so I restart the phone and see nothing has changed. It's as if no reset has been done and the crashing continues.
So I decide to go for Stock rom (Gingerbread). After following the official installation steps the phone says the installation is successfull and restarts automatically. When the phone boots up all I see is old Aurora Rom and the same old crash of apps(all apps crashes a_z).
This is so weird. I have never seen this before and have been googling since 2 days without any solution.
I request xda devs to help me on this.
Regards

When you're flashing back to stock have you tried to wipe every partition including your internal SD?
Also how soon does the crashing begin after you flash your ROM?, because if the crashing begins as soon you boot up, you may have a hardware issue and of course the only way to solve that would be to send your phone into warrenty if you can.
Hi tidaboy9
I can't actually flash any roms. If I do, it says the flash is successful, but after the restart nothing will change. Whatever I do in the phone, it will restore everything after reboot, apps, history , etc .
By wiping partition, do u mean flashing stock partition. That I did.
All I want to do is do a hard reset, wipe everything and start new, but I am unable to due to above mentioned reasons. And yes, the crash begins soon after the reboot.
Please tell me this not hardware related as it is not under warranty.
Thanks

[Lenovo A808T] Security problem, and ROM Problem

Hello, immediately sorry for my english I hope you understand me
Well... When I wanted to upload ROM into my Lenovo ive loaded TWRP, displays the recovery. After removing wipe, date, it turned out that I can not upload MIUI rom V6. So I reset the phone, switched to the main screen without a problem. Now, however, he does not see the recovery. When I click "update recovery" in the MTK Tools and click on to recovery, the phone resets twice and returns to the main screen. This is the first problem. The second problem is that when I made the root my phone and removed some applications the system appears in the bottom corner, "security problem" and pops up all the time to install Antivirus advertising. I'd most like to upload ROM if someone could help me I was grateful. Regards.

{Help} Problem with crashing behaviour

Hello XDA,
Here is the deal. Today, i see some google apps updates. They include: Telegram, AndroDumpper, and (i think) most importantly Busybox. I let google play update them and i leave the phone. When i come back, i see my phone was rebooting.
Phone turns on>Cyanogenmod Logo appears>Lock screen appears. I can unlock it. The message: "Trebuchet has stopped working" continuously pops up and there's nothing i can do until it finally goes back to Cyanogenmod Logo. I tried turning it off, going to recovery and clearing cache and dalvik.
I don't know if this has to do with busybox. I don't even know if it updated before the problem started. I would like a solution that doesn't involve a total wipe and reinstall of my rom. If i have to do it, i will do it; but it has been some time since i last did it, so i will have to search for everything again (how to do backups and installing new rom).
My phone is a Moto G XT1032. I don't know how can i search my cyanogenmod version without turning my phone on :/
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Update: Now my phone doesn't force the soft restart. I can go to the settings. If i try to go to the main screen, the message keeps popping up saying that trebuchet has stopped working. Going to Settings>Applications also shows the message "Settings has stopped working"
