[A] Here's an Undervolt on boot fix that keeps your data! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Disclaimer: This was my process that worked for my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP and the Matr1x kernel. However, I am 90% sure this will transfer over to anybody else that has this problem. If you were able to adapt this for your phone, please post this in the replies. This also assumes you have a basic working knowledge of flashing kernels and ROMs.
What this fixes: Android phone gets to boot screen, loads an app or two, and freezes, then reboots due to voltage being set too low upon boot. This is either because of settings saved from SetCPU or your ROM. This will not help with other voltage-control apps.
Process:
If you don't ever want to undervolt again, but still want a working phone and all of your data back, you can do ONLY steps 8-12 without worrying about the .xml file. If that doesn't work, do all of the steps except 5-7 and stop at 12.
Step 1: From the SetCPU website: In the rare event that your phone cannot boot because you left this checkbox checked at unstable frequencies, create a file called "setcpu_safemode" (with no extension) and put it in /data/local or /sdcard. If SetCPU detects this file, it will ignore all start up settings.
This will only fix the problem if you clicked "Set on Boot" in SetCPU. If you set it in your ROM preferences, like I did, see below:
Step 2: Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery and create a NANDroid backup. I don't care if your phone doesn't boot right now. Create a NANDroid backup through CWM.
Step 3: Through CWM still, Wipe Data/Factory reset. Disclaimer: At least for me, this did not erase anything on my SD card. I'd imagine that it works the same on all Android phones, so you should be fine.
Step 4: Reboot the phone. Don't worry about running through the initial setup. Plug your phone into your computer and navigate to your SD card. Go to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[your latest backup]
Step 5: Copy data.ext4.tar to your computer's hard drive and extract the contents. I used WinRAR.
Step 6: In the extracted files, navigate to /data/data/[com.roman.romcontrol]/shared_prefs/[com.roman.romcontrol.xml]
Disclaimer: THIS IS FOR THE GNEX AOKP ROM. The parts in brackets are likely different for your personal ROM of choice. Find the com.* folder for YOUR rom's settings and it will have a shared_prefs folder with an .xml file.
Step 7: Open the file in a text editor (like notepad) and locate the lines
PHP:
"apply_cpu_at_boot" value="true"
and
"apply_voltages_at_boot" value="true"
Replace "true" with "false" and save the file.
Step 8: Download an older kernel that DOES NOT have the option to UV (undervolt). I used an old Franco kernel .
Step 9: Put your modified com.*.xml file and the kernel anywhere onto your phone's SD card.
Step 10: Reboot back into CWM Recovery and Restore the NANDRoid backup you created earlier.
Step 11: Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache then flash that old kernel that DOES NOT have UV options.
Step 12: You should now have a working phone with all of your data back. You can keep it like this and never undervolt again, OR you can continue:
Step 13: Download a file manager that can access the phone's root. I use ES File Explorer.
Step 14: Copy that com.*.xml file FROM your sd card and OVERWRITE the one located at (root)/data/data/com.*/shared_prefs/com.*.xml <--That is your PHONE'S root, NOT your sd card. If you have problems with overwriting this, open up ROM Manager and hit Fix Permissions.
Step 15: Reboot into CWM. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, flash any kernel that you want with UV support.
Step 16: Reboot and enjoy your phone back to its original condition with UV support!
Disclaimer: I just did this to my phone after hours and hours of trying different things. I rewrote these steps as best I could from memory and am 90% sure they are accurate. If there is confusion, let me know and I'll help as best I can. Don't hold me responsible if this doesn't work.

Vibrant acting odd

I finally flashed a custom rom Bionix 1.9 Jacs/OC/UV/VOODOO. Later i decided to flash a different custom battery icon. After i flashed the icon my phone would not stop reading/scanning my SD cards. It just kept goin in a loop. I decided to run my back up i made on Rom manager. That just soft bricked my phone. I attempted a factory reset but that failed as well. Then i tried to flash the Bionix rom again but it wouldnt run all the way. Later i was advised to use ODIN. I followed all the steps correctly when using ODIN. That didnt help either. Sooo after all that and my phone still being soft bricked i decided to try the factory reset again and then i installed the Bionix rom again. That seemed to work. My phone turns on and functions. Feels a lil slow and when i try to install an app it says i need to free up space on my SD card. (there isnt anything on either SD cards)
Some of the errors i recieved:
When trying to flash Bionix i get this:"failure at line 80:" "copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA: Installation aborted.
Oh and when i tried the restore option it says the following: Restoring data...
.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure
Restoring cache... sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restore of /sd-ext/.
Restore complete!
No no app2sd partition found. skipping format of /sd-ext.
E:Failer at line 79
Help this noob out please. Id appreciate help from some knowledgeable ppl.
You must disable Voodoo before flashing anything. So that is why you got into a soft brick When you Odin'd, did you follow the steps below? It was highly advised by Sombionix to read his whole post before flashing.
Did You Flash Something Before Disabling Voodoo? 2 Fixes to Help You Out.
So you forgot to disable the voodoo lagfix before you flashed a new rom and now you're getting an error, similar to the one posted below. Even Odin won't allow you to flash back to stock. Well, pay close attention and with some luck, you'll be good as rain...or something like that.
Fix 1:
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Download the 'True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine! BAM!
Fix 2: (use only if you know how to use adb commands)
1. Place the 'disable-lagfix' file in your sdk>tools directory
2. Get into clockwork recovery like you normally would
3. Follow these adb commands to push the 'disable-lagfix' file to you sdcard>voodoo
adb push disable-lagfix /sdcard/voodoo
4. File should now be on your sdcard in your voodoo folder.
5. Reboot phone and with luck, you should hear Linda the robot telling you your file system is being converted back to rfs.
6. Because your system directory has already been wiped, you'll still get a black screen when you reboot, but your file system is back to rfs. Just pull the battery, and reflash whatever rom you want. Then reboot again.
Hope that helps

Agh! what am i doing wrong!??

Hi everyone.
I'm really sick of this phone (X10 mini pro). right now no matter what i try and flash to it using xrecovery and update.zip, i reboot and always find that i'm running the same old system - like as if i've done NOTHING TO IT AT ALL!
I tried flashing this (which is what i really wanted):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041099
Nothing, reboots into stock.
I then tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361
Also no luck.
What am i doing wrong!? I download the rom, extract (System, META-INF and/or any other folder) and then i install any hotfixes by dragging and dropping/replacing files.
I then zip up the system and meta folders (plus anything else ie: Data folder) to update.zip, then install via xrecovery -- which does so fine, no warning messages -- then i CLEAR cache or format data (if instructed) and reboot.
As far as i can tell, i'm doing NOTHING wrong and it's extremely frustrating. Everytime i reboot i'm greeted with the same old setup wizard, same old theme, same stock "About Phone" details, as listed below:
Model Number:
U20i
Firmware Version:
2.1-update1
Baseband Version:
M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernal Version:
2.6.29
[email protected] #1
Build Number:
2.1.1.A.0.6
What is going on???
Have you tried not renaming the zip file and flash it as it is, then flash the hotfixes next?
Maybe what you added or replaced caused the flashing to not work at all. For me when I flash a big rom it'll take about a minute. If it was flashed and you don't even see it copying files then it must have failed.

Choose custom zip, navigate to the zip file location in your sd card and confirm flashing it. Must work. I bet you flashed the "update.zip" which doesn't exist.

Thanks for the quick reply guys.
Unfortunately i've tried both these methods and i still get the same problem. (I just tried both methods again to be sure) Xrecovery just states "Copying files..." then within about a minute or so, it tells me it's "Completed"
Just for the record, i did buy this phone used (and "unlocked" to any network) would that somehow have something to do with this?
I've also tried a factory reset using the PC companion from Sony (then installing a rom) even after that i still get this problem.
Frustrating, very frustrating.
Ok, so i did this all over again:
Step 1.
Reset phone using PC Companion
Step 2
Setup Wifi using the wizard
Step 3
enable usb debugging and Unknown Sources (both under Applications)
Step 4
Connect phone via usb, transfer over Xrecovery, update.zip, etc. Then UNMOUNT SDCARD.
Root phone using S1C, install busybox during then reboot.
Step 5:
Setup marketplace account & Download (provided i get past that rediculous "downloading.." hang bug):
Busybox Installer, once downloaded, double click icon and install
Download and install Root Explorer
Step 6:
install Xrecovery manually using Root Explorer, placing it's 3 files in \system\bin
step 7:
Connect usb, transfer over update.zip, reboot and enter xrecovery
Now, guess what? XRECOVERY won't even start when i hit the back button when the SE logo appears!
One problem after another, about to give up. Really not impressed.
Do the following at your own risk
> Before you start make sure you have
- Root access
- Busy box and terminal emulator (you can get this from the market) installed
1. Download this script http://www.mediafire.com/?yw2a3r2didpb51t
2. Extract the folder called AAIS and rename it to "aais" (without the quotations)
3. Copy the aais folder to sdcard
4. Open up terminal emulator and type in the following commands
Code:
su
Click on allow when superuser dialog pops up and then type
Code:
cd sdcard/aais
Code:
sh install.sh
A list will appear, type the number which installs xrecovery and press enter
Once the phone has rebooted
1. Copy the zip of the rom which you want to install straight to the sd card (Do not rename it, extract it or do anything to it)
2. Copy the zip of the hotfixes straight to the sd card (again do not rename, extract or do anything)
3. Reboot phone, when it reaches "Sony Ericsson" press back a few times to boot into xrecovery
4. Using xrecovery do this
- Wipe cache partition
- Advanced option > wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats
- Go back to xrecovery main menu and then click on factory reset (full wipe)
4. Then goto install custom zip > choose custom zip from sdcard > and then choose the rom zip. Let it install
5. Once rom is installed click on choose custom zip from sdcard > and then choose the hotfix zip.
6. Once installed go back to xrecovery main menu and reboot phone
Hopefully should work

Thanks for this post, exactly what i needed. Tis much appreciated.
I did what you said, word for word, and everything went smoothly. Xrecovery booted up fine and installed everything fine.
Unfortunately, this has failed to resolve the problem. I'm totally clueless as i'm sure most of you are. All i can say is it's not user error - i've not done anything wrong or missed a THING. I've really followed as you instructed word for word (as i did with previous attempts) and i still got nowhere. I've now spent all day trying to resolve this and still with no luck.
The only difference all of this ever seems to make is i'm constantly bothered by popups saying "X application has failed" etc etc now. It still just boots into the regular OS like as if nothing has happend.
Download this file, do not extract it, copy it straight to your sd card:

https://rapidshare.com/#!download|3...ight.zip|1|R~11A42E8D7D5D2FAE74791CC0D9911BE7
Go into xrecovery then
Wipe cache partition
Wipe dalvick cache
Wipe battery stats
Factory reset (full wipe)
Goto install custom zip from sd card and flash the first file
then flash the second file. Reboot phone. Hope it works.
1- Download Sony Ericsson Update Service from here -> http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...ed/updateservice/xperiax10minipro?cc=gb&lc=en
2- Install it !

7- Plug your usb cable in your computer but not yet in your phone !
8- Replace your battery !
9- Press and hold "Back" button (the 3rd physic button) !
10- Plug your usb cable into your phone !
11- Let's SEUS doing his work !
12- When it says "Finiiiiish !!!", unplug your usb cable and boot your phone !
13- Go to Settings -> About the phone and check if your Firmware is : 2.1.1.A.0.6 !
14- Root your phone.
15- Install xRecovery with K><A method !
16- After, download the ROM you want, place it at the root of your SD card.
17- Reboot into xRecovery and choose "install a custom.zip"
18- Select the .zip of your ROM and apply
That would fix your problem if you follw my instructions
This worked
Why is that? is the version you linked an older one?

Devoid.Franco Kernel 14

Been using Franco's Rom and Kernel and it's been great. However, I like to update to his v.14 kernel. I did the format
1. Wipe
2. Partition, etc...
3. Load v5 Rom
4. Restart
My problem is right here, the warning is to delete the tweaks file and the script file (which I don't have one) in File Manager. I use the OI manager that comes with v5 Rom but it just wont' delete, and I don't want to load the new kernel because of all the warnings, please help :-(...

it wont delete cause of permissions. I use root explorer for this kind of work. In this particular case i had deleted the nececary scrips from the flash zip and i flashed afterwards. (i had a clean install)
I am trying the clean install as well, can you give the instructions or point me to somewhere where I can read more about this, thanks for your time and effort.
Do I just delete it in the Devoid.Franco v5 zip before flashing and then restart the process (the only file that I can find is tweaks.sh)
Sorry, found the init.d file as well. Would I delete those files in the zip, rezip and then start the process over?
you just delete them from the zip and you flash it as usuall. just dont forget to disable verification check on your recovery or else it will give you error
Sorry, just a newb when it comes to this.
I couldn't delete the two files from the devoid.franco.v5.zip file so I did the following:
1. Extract the zip file
2. Deleted the two files
3. Rezipped the files into a new devoid.franco.v5.zip
4. Load the zip into the micro sd card after all the wipe and partition
5. Disabled Signature check
6. Tried the flash and it said it can't open the zip because it's bad :-(...
This can't be that hard when all the other kernels was easy to install...

Extracting a zip and re-zipping it DOESN'T work. You are not supposed to unzip the file. Just flash the rom, delete the offending files using root explorer, and then flash the kernel.
Sent from my LG Optimus One P500 using XDA App
You should't extract the file and rezip it. It corrupts it when it comes to flashing. I personally browse the zip file with winrar and simple delete the files i need. I also add files to zip this way like apks, ringtones etc
Trying winrar and it seems to work, gone to see if I can finish the entire process. Thanks so much for your time again. In the future, can I send the apps that I want directly into this zip? I can to sue something zipsigner before to get calendar, etc... Thanks again!!!
An alternative way for a clean install:
1: wipe everything
2: flash devoid.franco.v5
3: reboot (to check if everything is ok)
4: reboot into recovery
5: mount /system partition under 'mounts and storage' (clockworkmod)
6: from pc type (with phone still in recovery): 'adb shell'
7: in adb shell, type: 'rm /system/etc/tweaks.sh'
8: in adb shell, type: 'rm /system/etc/init.d/00script'
9: flash franco.kernel.v14
10: reboot
I Hope it helps,
Bye
You're welcome m8.
And yes you can have the apps you want inside the rom this way very easilly. just put them in app folder. I did this with some removed apps like browser and calendar and also removed zeam launcher and used adw launcher (personal taste) I even tried that with frameworks (aka themes) and it worked great
Thanks so much to both of your posts, it's working. One last questions, thought setcpu was already implemented in this kernel, but I don't see it anywhere? Again, thanks again for everyone's time and effort, learned so much today (wife is mad though because we need to do house work, lol, lol, better get going)... She said, "who formats their phone 5 times in 1 month, lol, lol"
setcpu is NOT included, you have to install it.
See first post in franco.kernel thread for the link.
Eh! eh! you are not in Europe, I guess if you have to help your wife NOW!!!
Barcelona-ManchesterUTD right NOW...
oh yes the wifes. my gf gets fustrated like "wtf are roms and kernels?? its just a phone!!! you call people and they call you back" rofl
One last note on setcpu. When i was using last version (2.13), every time i rebooted my phone the settings where gone and had to set them again. I switched to v2.1 and it worked like a charm. Have no idea if that is general issue or only me had it. Just thought i should tell you
Done via editing the zip with rar and all worked smoothly.
Thx all

[HELP] HTC Desire VC - accidentally formatted the /system folder with recovery mode

My HTC Desire VC (T328d) was rooted and running Android OS 4.0.3 (ics).
In recovery mode, I accidentally formatted /system folder (from internal phone memory).
This is because the recovery mode is all in chinese language and I did a huge mistake.
The phone cannot boot showing HTC logo screen and no boot sound.
I've downloaded the kernel for this device at htcdev.com and I don't know how to use it and what it is for.
Fortunately, I can enter recovery mode. My friend has the same device and his is not rooted yet. Maybe I can get some files from him.
Any solution, please?
Learn Chinese?
Flash a rom?
You should ask in a Desire forum tho

Looks like your best shot is to root your friends phone, do a nandroid backup, restore it to yours, then reset to factory defaults.
Don't forget to use V6 SuperCharger afterwards... lol

Thanks for your advice. But, I don't know how to do nandroid backup. The instructions say that it is apk app. I can't even boot my phone and how can I use apk ? In addition, now I installed a recovery from china site (for Desire VC specifically) and it contains backup and restore function. Is it the same with Nandroid Backup or CWM ?
Can you instruct me in some steps, please ?

Yes, the backup option you see in recovery is Nandroid backup. Please be carefull in formatting system, it would wipe your ROM. Always take nandroid backup before you playing with other Rom.
Here you go,
1. Take nandroid backup of your friends ROM
2. Place the backup into your sd card( backup available in clockwork folder in ur friends mobile. Just copy the entire clockwork folder and paste in ur sd card. Now mount the sdcard in ur mobile)
3. Reboot in recovery.
4. Wipe cache and dalvik
5. Restore from nandroid.
Let me know this helps..

Dalvik is virtual machine that runs Android Apps on Android. Dalvik-cache is the cache area for Dalvik VM, it is created when the Dalvik VM optimizes your app for running.
Dalvik is the virtual machine that is used by Android. It is generally thought of as a java virtual machine, although this is not precisely correct. It uses an object model that is identical to java, and it's memory model is also nearly equivalent. But the
Accordingly, it uses a completely different bytecode than java. However, the Android SDK includes the dex tool to translate java bytecode to dalvik bytecode, which is why you are able to write Android applications in java.
When you install an application on Android, it performs some modifications and optimizations on that application's dex file (the file that contains all the dalvik bytecode for the application). It then caches the resulting odex (optimized dex) file in the /data/dalvik-cache folder, so that it doesn't have to perform the optimization process every time it loads an application.

Your recovery is not CWM recovery.
You must flash CWM recovery first. With CWM recovery, you can find "wipe delvik cache"
under Advance menu.

Try all basic things, like clearing RAM, Booting your phone etc. If its not solved, try to flash the kernel via recovery. Please ensure that you are s-off for this. Even after flashing the kernel that issue persists, please check your radio (baseband) is latest. Else update the radio. I guess, flashing kernel will solve the issue.
Please let me know whether you are s-off and rooted.
Tips: its my personal advice to be s-off (your warranty voids)
Edit:
If you are HTC.dev unlocked and s-on then follow below steps to flash the kernel.

From where do I have to find "boot.img" ?
I have only back up folder (ROM) from my friend's phone. And I just restored it (including boot.img) with CWM nandroid backup.
Is that the same with your instruction from step 1 to 5 ?
I can selectively restore "boot.img" with CWM nandroid recovery. Is that the same ?
In addition, the version of Kernel I downloaded is the same with my phone currently. I downloaded it from http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
I got primodd-ics-crc-3.0.16-ead8920.zip file. When I extract it, I just found "bcm4329" folder under "primodd-ics-crc-3.0.16-ead8920/drivers/net/wireless" path. I can't find "bcm4329.ko"
Do you mean the driver in my system is not compatible with my phone after restore ?

Boot.IMG is consists of kernel and ramdisk. They both necessary to start up the device, initializing the hardware, phone etc.
Since you are s-on, while placing the boot.img from nandroid, its not well placed. S-0N means, security on that doesn't allows to flash boot.img from nandroid.
I guess, every time you flash the via recovery boot.img is not placed in correct partition.
So, you have alternative method which allows to place the boot.img in correct path.That's why asked to do it via fastboot mode. Hope you understand.
In addition, the version of Kernel I downloaded is the same with my phone currently. I downloaded it from http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads

Since you have problem only with WiFi and Bluetooth. You can skip fastboot method. bcm4329.ko is same as what you found in the kernel that you downloaded from HTC dev. (Just right click and check the file extension from your pc)
Your friends WiFi and Bluetooth are working fine. bcm4329.ko is responsible for WiFi and Bluetooth. Since you used recovery to restore nandroid, the bcm4329.ko is not placed in the system/lib/modules path. So manually you are placing it
To make it easier do the following
1. From your friends mobile, goto system/lib/modules copy bcm4329.ko file into your pc (use root file explorer)
2. Place that file in your sd card.
3. Then use root explorer and follow the steps mentioned in previous post.( 4 steps under root explorer)
Please let me know if this works.
PS: take nandroid before performing. No warranty for any tips provided. Please do search on google regarding kernel, android partition, bcm4329.ko etc.
Since I don't have pc, I can't help you more with respective links to other sites. Yes, It took much time to compose in my android touch screen.

What does "shine" mean ?
My friend can't find "bcm4329.ko" such a file under /system/lib/modules
So, I'm trying to take matching the files under /system/lib/modules to know the missing files.
Any idea ?
My friend told me he has same files as mine in /system/lib/modules
These are the file list
bluetooth.ko
bnep.ko
btwilink.ko
cfg80211.ko
compat.ko
fm_drv.ko
hidp.ko
kineto_gan.ko
mac80211.ko
rfcomm.ko
wl12xx.ko
wl12xx_sdio.ko
He has only those files (not include "bcm4329.ko")
What should I do now ?

[GUIDE] fix a boot loop or other Fc errors using safe strap (no relfash/no odin)

This is a short guide on how to fix a boot loop or other Fc errors using safe strap (no relfash/no odin)
Always and I say always add.bak to any file you intend to replace with another
This wil let you use safestrap to fix a bootloop or other FC issues from a file you replaced using a root explorer program
Okay so you started modding a files lest say systemui.apk and you went into root explorer renamed the origna lwith a .bak extension and droped your new one in there well all seems well you reboot like normal but lo and behold after a while of waiting you realize you are caught in a boot loop or when it does load you get a continues Fc ever cuple seconds making the phone virtually unusable
Well Your in luck reboot your phone and go into SafeStrap
Step 1. Tap Mount
Step 2. Check System
Step 3. Go back and tap Advanced
Step 4. Tap File Manager
Step 5. Scroll Down to system(or wherever you may have placed your file) and tap it
Step 6. Tap App
Step 7. Fint the file you replace and clike it and delete it
Step 8. Tap the original and rename it to what ever the fiel is in this case systemui.apk.bak to its original without the .bak extension
Step 9. Reboot System
Step 10. Enjoy
