I had installed TNT Lite v 4.3.0 a couple of weeks ago and it was working pretty good. But today my tablet has gone into a bad state. Every app that I run results in FC. Even the ADW launcher EX that I had selected default is crashing. It then gives me the options: ADW Laucher, ADW Launcher EX, and the regular Launcher. The plain ADW Launcher also fails, but fortunately the regular Launcher still works so I can access the apps.
But unfortunately almost every app that I am trying fails. The only one that doesn't fail is the Web browser. The Settings starts and I can access Applications menu but once I choose say System Applications, after that if I try to choose some other option such as Installed Application, it crashes as well.
Last night however when I started the tablet the battery was probably down and while it was powering it up, it turned off and then restarted by itself and then turned off, without reaching the lock screen. I don't know if it has something to do with all this.
What do I do now? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
A well known issue.

This is why I'm an advocate of people doing the partitioning right before they flash their first custom rom. This way, they won't have to wipe everything later on.
I could only wonder why people aren't mentioning this in every custom rom thread.
Thank you so much. Will try it out tonight.
Unfortunately it seems I have run into a worse issue (without even doing anything yet). Now when I power it on, it starts and shuts off within a few seconds, just shows the birds for like 5 secs and bang, black screen.
The tablet is fully charged (if I put it on charge the light turns green in no time). Looks like the battery is dead.
You might be dropping into APX mode. Do you know how to use nvflash?
Thanks for the reply. You are absolutely right. After multiple tries it did boot up and I was able to install clockworkmod and it all worked great. It wiped off everything but I could live with that. And I turned it off and back on and it was working fine.
But then it went back into the same mode - shutting off immediately after turning on. I decided to return this tablet thinking that it is bad. But before I would do that I thought to restore it or else Viewsonic won't honor the warranty. So I started reading the thread about restoring the tablet to stock using nvram flash. In that procedure it requires me to put the tablet in APX mode and that's when I thought that maybe it is going into APX without pressing the volume - button.
Anyway I was successfully able to flash nvram. Or so it said. I still have the output from the batch file. But now my tablet is totally bricked. It does not boot at all. No pretty birds for me.
I hope there is some way out of it. Please help.
Edit: After re-flashing and using a different file, it seems to have made it a little better. At least I am seeing the birds again. But the original problem of shutting off, or going into the APX mode without pressing Volume button, has returned. All I am getting is the birds for a few seconds and then black screen. I will continue to retry, and if I see it booting up successfully to the stock, this thing is going back to the factory.
1) What image did you use to nvflash?
2) What happened when the flash was finished? Did it boot normally at least once?
3) Does the screen just stay dark all the time now?
1) First time nvflash_gtablet_46_2010112600.zip and after that it did not boot at all. Only black screen. I flashed it couple of times, no avail. Later I flashed nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip. This at least recovered it enough that it shows the birds, but soon after the screen turns black. I have confirmed that it is going in APX mode. If I have USB cable connected to my PC, the PC reports discovering the NVIDEA APX device.
2) It hasn't booted normally since I flashed nvram.
3) No I get the birds, but after that it turns dark.
Ok. Using Bekit's 1105 image...
1) Replace part9.img with the recovery.img out of the clockworkmod installation zip.
2) Put the tablet into APX mode.
3) Type in the command to start nvflash but before you hit the enter key hold down the Volume Up key and continue to hold it down until the flash finishes.
4) The tablet should boot into clockworkmod recovery.
5) Repartition 2048 and 0
6) Clear everything (cache, data and dalvik)
7) You might need to re-nvflash at this point.
Thanks for your response. I tried it. Did not work. When you say Replace part9.img with the recovery.img, does it mean copy recovery.img into the NVFlash directory and rename it to part9.img or leave it as recevery.img. I renamed it to part9.img and backed up the original part9.img to part9.img.tmp. The size of recovery.img and the original part9.img are very different. I am confused. Please help.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant.
Are you sure you're holding the volume UP key? Birds and then black screen is APX mode which is normally entered by holding volume DOWN.
Well it goes into APX mode even if I don't press any Volume button at all. That is the problem I am trying to fix. When I press power button (without touching the volume button) the birds come and then black screen. And this is APX mode because if I am connected to the PC it brings up an NVIDIA APX device on the PC.
Now if I press the Volume UP button along with the power button, nothing happens, not even the birds come up.
So the fact that the recovery.img (3.7k) is much smaller than part9.img (16k) is ok? Or I am doing something wrong.
Any ideas?
I was thinking about formatting the gtablet. Please let me know if this is the right move, or there is something else I could try first.

A little more than "It did not work" would be helpful.
What step failed? Please tell me what happened after each step.
Did you get into CWM and repartition?
Did you get everything cleared?
What happened when it rebooted?
What was the original filename of the image you tried to flash?
What version of clockworkmod do you have installed?
Have you ever used ROM Manager?
All of this is important and no one can help you if you don't provide enough information.
Oh, I am sorry. Here are the answers to the questions you asked:
What step failed? Please tell me what happened after each step.
Ans: Out of the 7 steps you provided, the steps 1, 2 and 3 worked fine. It is the step 4 that failed (and of course I can't proceed with the steps anymore). In other words I cannot go into clockworkmod recovery.
Did you get into CWM and repartition?
Ans: No I was not able to do so. If I press power and Volume Up key at the same time, nothing happens, screen remains black, not even birds come up.
Did you get everything cleared?
Ans: I believe you are referring to step 6. No, I could not get to that step.
What happened when it rebooted?
Ans: Nothing showed up. Because when Volume Up is pressed while it is powered on, nothing shows up on the screen.
What was the original filename of the image you tried to flash?
Ans: Actually first time nvflash_gtablet_46_2010112600.zip (and this is before you provided the 7-step recipe - see post #6, 7, 8 of this thread) and after that it did not boot at all. Only black screen. I flashed it couple of times, no avail. Maybe that was my mistake. I chose a wrong file. Later I flashed nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip. This recovered it enough that it shows the birds now, but soon after the screen turns black (goes into APX mode).
What version of clockworkmod do you have installed?
Ans: v08
Have you ever used ROM Manager?
Ans: No. What is it?
I really appreciate your help.
What happened at the end of step 3?
Did you start holding the volume UP before you pressed the return key for the nvflash? If not... go back and do it again.
Did you continue to hold it until the flash was happening? You must continue to hold it down for at least 5 - 10 seconds after the flash starts.
When the flash was done did it say "Recovery Key detected" on the screen? If it didn't say this that is an indication that you didn't hold the volume UP key long enough.
If all of the above was done correctly and did happen but you didn't get to clockworkmod then what did you get? Did it look like stock recovery?
It sounds to me like you did the nvflash then tried to reboot into recovery.
Its unbelievable. Tonight when I powered it on it started booting up normal instead of going into the APX mode. I was glad. The stock UI came up, but some of my apps like Quadrant, File Expert etc were still there. It also notified me of the Update 3588. So I downloaded it and started installing it. Pretty soon it rebooted itself (sooner than I thought - I don't know if the remaining installation was supposed to happen after the reboot).
But instead of booting up into 3588 it is unfortunately gone back to the same old issue - the birds followed by black screen - aka APX mode. It never booted up after that. No matter how many times I tried to reboot, it goes into APX mode just like before. I don't know what caused it to complete bootup. One thing I noticed was that the battery was totally drained when I started tonight. I don't know if the drained battery somehow took it out of the APX mode. But now it has a little bit of charge because of hooking up to power supply. I have disconnected the power supply and will leave it in APX mode over night and try it again tomorrow when the battery would be totally drained and see if it boots up fully.
To answer your questions though:
What happened at the end of step 3?
The screen went black and after that it stayed black. No CWM.
Did you start holding the volume UP before you pressed the return key for the nvflash? If not... go back and do it again.
Yes, I did.
Did you continue to hold it until the flash was happening? You must continue to hold it down for at least 5 - 10 secondsafter the flash starts.
Yes, I continued to hold it all the way until the flash completed and the screen went black and quite some time after that.
When the flash was done did it say "Recovery Key detected" on the screen?
I don't think it did.
If it didn't say this that is an indication that you didn't hold the volume UP key long enough.
So I guess I need to give it another try. Tomorrow I will try to reboot the tablet again and if it continued to go into APX I will do the nvflash one more time.
If all of the above was done correctly and did happen but you didn't get to clockworkmod then what did you get? Did it look like stock recovery?
A black dark screen. No CWM or stock recovery.
It sounds to me like you did the nvflash then tried to reboot into recovery.
No at the time of nvflash I held the Volume UP button and nothing happened. Since then I have been trying to bootup or put it in CWM Recovery but only thing the tablet wants to do is go into APX mode.
So I guess my theory of "drained battery takes it out of the APX mode" is correct. I tried to reboot the tablet several times but it just kept on going into the APX mode until the battery was completely drained. And then it started booting up normally but it went into some installation (probably the stock 3588 that I had downloaded in the previous successful bootup). And then the green android with the exclamation sign came and the exclamation sign was rotating for a second or two and then stopped. And it looked like it was hung. I waited for a minute or two but nothing happened, so I pressed one of the buttons, I don't know if it was Menu or Back button, and all of a sudden clockworkmod recovery screen came up.
I have attached the picture of the screen. It still shows the green android with the exclamation sign in the middle of the screen, along with the CWM Recovery.
One other thing I noticed and I am not sure if it is normal is that if I choose say Reboot System Now from CWM menu and it shows like 10 entries with many No's and only one Yes. I can only use the volume Up + button to go down, if I try to go up using volume Down - button it does not go up. Is that normal? Is the only way to go is go down using Voume Up button in CWM menus? I have a feeling that my Volume Down button has gone crazy and it is not functioning properly and that is what is causing it to go into APX mode at the startup as well.
Anyway I first attempted "Apply SDCARD:update.zip" hoping that it might continue with the stock 3588 installation, but that failed. You can see the messages in the picture. Then I tried the Factory Reset and it was successful. I then rebooted the tablet. But now again it keeps on going up into APX mode. I will have to wait until tomorrow for it to completely drain battery again and then try to reboot again.
Any ideas? I know it is overwhelming and the behavior is very weird. At this point I am trying to bring it back to the stock firmware so that I can get this tablet replaced under warranty.
There are quite a few things that are not acting normal from what I see here.
Did you try to repartition 2048 and 0? If not, I would start with that then I would format everything and re-nvflash a stock ROM onto it. That might clear things up. If not you could be looking at a hardware reset.
I unlocked my phone with the htc method. I had root, and superuser. titanium backup worked fine. I made a nandroid backup before I started messing with ROMS. I decided to flash infected's ROM first. Everything seemed to be going ok. It rebooted, and I got the cool beats animation. Then I got the htc splashscreen. then it just flipped back and forth between them for a half hour or so. something was obviously wrong. I tried rebooting the phone: same results. I can get into bootloader, both by holding volume down while powering up, and through the command prompt, via adb. I have a nandroid backup through twrp recovery, so no problem, right? well, it didn't work. So now, I can boot into the bootloader screen, but nothing else. I tried flashing a different ROM, but to no avail. Eventually, I noticed that I had htc sync running while I did all this. Did that wreck me? Any ideas what I can do now? I just tried to restore my nadroid backup again, without htc sync running, but all I get is a white htc screen. Please help me unbrick my phone!!!
whenever I try to flash ANY other rom, I get to the part where I have to use fastboot to flash the boot.img, and it says "sending boot" and just stays there forever.
Tried flashinf recovery.img, and the same thing happens. "sending recovery" and screen pause
God I hope someone smarter than me feels generous enough to help here...
Are you on windows? Did you install htc drivers?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I am on windows 7, and I have the htc drivers installed. Like I said, I successfully completed the htc unlock method. I had no problems until I tried to flash a rom
So you hold volume down and power to enter fastboot. Select fastboot by hitting power again. Then plugin usb and it should say fastboot usb. Then what command do you type after that?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
now it wont even go into hboot. not with vol down and power, or through command prompt. before, it was going into hboot just fine, and I was using fastboot flash boot boot.img to flash the rom, but everything froze
now when I plug it in and use the command prompt to enter adb reboot bootloader, it just says device not found. holding power and vol does nothing
Hmmm.. Not sure why you can't get into fastboot but your using the wrong command. You want to type fastboot boot recovery.img. Recovery being the name of the recovery image in your folder.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
thanks. I'll try that if I can get back into the bootloader
What you did works for that only installs the kernel. Then you need to flash the rom. I never did it that way nor do I use twrp
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I did flash the rom.zip from twrp recovery. when it rebooted, it started to work, then just went into a boot loop. then I started trying to fix it, now it wont even come on
For now, I'm hoping that the battery just discharged during the process. I'm gonna let it charge for a few hours, and see what happens. I'm afraid that I might have done a battery pull in the middle of the process, though. When I first flashed the InfectedROM, the phone rebooted and got stuck in a loop between the beats graphics, and the htc quietly brilliant screen. it just kept going from one to the other. It went on for quite a while, and eventually, I think I pulled the battery to stop it. However, I was still able to get into the bootloader after this. I tried to reflash the rom, and a couple of others to no avail. When I decided to try to reflash recovery.img, is when it hit the fan, so to speak. after that, I was unable to boot into fastboot, or even get adb to recognize that there was a device there at all. Man, I hope letting the battery charge works. Like a moron, I don't have any insurance on my phone.
when I plug it in, windows intermittently makes the gong noise that something is connecting or disconnecting, and windows explorer briefly recognizes that a removeable drive is present, but I can't get the thing to charge, or turn on at all, and adb refuses to recognize that it connected, so I still cant manually put it into fastboot
well, I left the phone plugged in for about 7 hours. I hooked it up to the computer and once again tried to get into bootloader through adb. The computer said that the "daemon was started successfully" then goes right back to device not found. I guess Im screwed if no one else knows any tricks or ideas..

Pull the battery
Wait 2 minutes.
Put battery back in.
Hold down Vol - and power.
Do not be connected to anything. And are you SURE your battery is good?
PM me if you see this and I dont answer.
I pulled the battery and waited. I even grabbed the battery out of my girl's evo3d. I can get into bootloader via the vol down, and power, but it stopas and asks if I want to update. If I say no, it just reboots to the htc screen. If I say yes, it says updating, then says press power to reboot. Then it goes directly to the htc screen and freezes. While it's in the htc screen, I can use command prompt to get it back into bootloader via the "adb reboot bootloader" command, but I can't get to my recovery menu. I was going to mount usb storage, and put another rom on the sd card, then re-flash, but it won't allow me to get to recovery

Ok, soundslike you have a "PG86IMG.ZIP" on the root of your SD card. Dont worry, just swap cards with your old lady but put the ROM on it first.
You wont be able to do anything until you swap Sd cards or otherwise delete the PG86IMG.zip.
when I use command prompt to enter bootloader, I get the opening menu: bootloader, reboot, reboot booloader, and power down. If I press power to choose booloader rather than fastboot, the phone immediately goes back to asking me if I want to update, and no matter what I choose, the results are the same. it reboots to the htc screen
So I just used Bootmanager for the first time. I was having alot of issues so I rebooted and now it sits at the splash screen and it isn't going into the bootloader. Kind of freaked out.
What do I do to fix this?
Thanks.
are you s-on or s-off?
I'm S-off on 1.49
edit: sorry, I meant 1.40
If u can get to recovery, go to install zip and find the boot manager folder, look in there for a phone Rom folder, their will be an update.zip, flash it and reboot.
I can't get to the recovery. It wont even boot to the spash screen unless it's plugged in.
Pull the battery, put it back in, hold vol down and power, what happens?
Well if it's unplugged it wont do anything. But, if it's plugged in, it goes to the splash screen.
Plugged into what, ac power or USB to comp? Try taking out the sd card and then try vol down and power.
Either the usb to computer or AC. It does it for both.
Took out the sd, no change.
I haven't seen a prob like this, without hboot you'd never see the splash screen, it has to be there. Maybe leave the battery out for a few minutes then try holding vol down+power. If you can get to hboot then you're good but with no hboot your not so good.
Hmm, so my red charging led is blinking now while the phone is off, wasn't doing that before, any idea on what that means?
I know that when I drain my battery all the way till it shuts off, it won't charge and I get the blinking red led. I have to put in a spare battery and let the other sit for a few hours befor it'll charge.
What's it do when u just press power? Just goes to the white HTC screen and stays?
Yeah it does that, I'm wondering if there is something wrong with my vol down.
Does it feel like it "clicks"? Take the case off and try to press vol down+power.
edit..Lol, just tried it without the case and its not as easy as I thought.
It does click, I tried it without the case, it was working earlier today though. The last time I had it on, I was rebooting into recovery and the screen went black and just sat there, so I did a battery bull and that is where I am now, Would something have happened if I did a battery pull in that state?
I wouldn't think so... I've had to pull it in situations like that, generally you just don't want to pull the battery during an ruu update or a pg86img update, when its writing to certain partitions. What recovery are you using and what Rom did you try to flash with boot manager?
I'm using TWRP 2.0 and my phones rom was on mean rom. I put ics playground on slot 1 and was having alot of issues getting the phone to wake up and random freezes and crashes. I attempted to boot back to my phones rom but it wasn't doing it. So I attempted to flash Chads AnthaX ICS playground kernel and bootmanager crashed. so I decided I would just boot into recovery and do flash the update zip for bootmanager.
That is everything I did

It just sounds like something weird happened to your recovery partition. If you pull out the battery and put it back in, then plug a usb cable into your computer. Do not turn it on. Run the command "adb reboot bootloader" (from your computer). that should turn on the phone and put it into the bootloader. From there, redownload your custom recovery of choice to your computer. Make sure you have a .img file. Type in "fastboot flash recovery [NAMEOFRECOVERYIMAGE].img". Now run your custom recovery and restore the update.zip for your ROM.
~co~
I'd be very surprised if your phone is broken. Sounds like an easy fix and I wish I could help more. You really can't do anything without getting to the hboot screen. No ruu, no turning s-on to re downgrade, no loading a recovery from fastboot.... I'm trying to think, maybe somebody else will jump in here and teach both of us somethin.
I know that a couple of other ppl had prob with a certain release of playground and twistedumbrella fixed them right up. Maybe you could hit him up. He's way more pro than I am.
I was doing a backup with TWRP and everything seemed to go just fine. Then after a reboot i unlocked the phone to notice that it was leaving the lock-screen icons on the bottom of the page. I still had access to my notification bar and could clear notifications. Figuring that there had just been a mistake in the boot process, I held the power button to restart the phone. Well it never brought up my power menu to restart. Also instead of making me wait ten seconds until it flashed its lights and restarted, it just restarted in like 3 seconds. Now my phone is stuck on the HTC ONE screen and will not respond to anything including hold the power button.
My phone is rooted an s-off. I know that I have not posted at all on here, but I have been rooting and know how at least the basics on adb shell. I just have never had a phone lock up to this point. If I can at least get to recovery, I should have 2 or 3 backups to run. I just don't want to have to wait for the phone battery to die just to hope I can get to recovery.

Are you saying volume up + power button does not restart your phone nor does any help? Check if your phone is detected in computer and if so you can issue and adb reboot command
also since there is no removable battery HTC added a reboot function press home vol down and power that should do the trick
The phone is not detected by a computer, nor will it charge. Vol down and power is not cutting it off. Right now I am waiting for the battery to die so I can hopefully boot into recovery and do a restore.
Vol up + Power was the key. I was thinking it was volume down. Thanks for all your help

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
:victory::victory::victory:
Just wanted to point out I ran into this issue also (Stuck on white HTC boot screen) after wiping my ROM and Vol UP + Power did the trick for me also (and then Vol Down + Power to get back to the bootloader).
i need help, guys
so attempting to install a new rom, i must have dont something wrong because now restarting the phone will leave me on the htc logo loop and restart. i still have access to hboot and fastboot. but when attempting to load into twrp, it shows the team win logo for half a second and then restarts the phone. then i installed cwm and it does boot into it but whatever option i pick, install zip, wipe data, ANYTHING, restarts the phone.
i have no idea what to do. i tried installing a rom using adb sideload but it stops at around 80%, ive tried installing different versions of twrp and cwm and same thing. i think it is bricked. im using the verizon htc one max. the only option i see left is the ruu toolkit but ive only been able to find the sprint version and then it says that bootloader needs to be locked and i have not idea how to do that from hboot, fastboot, or cwm
attempting to install superuser also fails
if there's anyone here that can help, please, any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks =:laugh:
Sounds like you're flashing the wrong TWRP.

If you're able to complete those instructions outlined in that post, this should set you up with the latest HBOOT, Radio and TWRP (Recovery) for the Verizon HTC One.
Make sure you read the post fully before you start, especially this part:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (Be sure it finishes saying 'successful', not 'please flush again immediately'. If it says the flush again, rerun the command)
If you succeed in getting that done, see if TWRP still causes the phone to reboot and get back to us.
This happened this moring for no apparent reason, i moved a file for a game to be installed (final fantasy iv) in the android/oob folder and rebooted, and it never fully did.
Im stuck on the HTC logo forever.
At 1st i said to myself, lets go to hboot and make a factory reset, so i pressed volume - and power, and when i did, instead of restoring the device (wich was unlocked and rooted) it went back to the neverending htc logo, and it does the same for the recovery and the erase everything one, so from that point i tried installing a few firmwares from my carrier which is videotron, and it alway failed either because the signature is not compatible or simply because the device is not detected... it seems to get worst try by try...
I also tried to install from the sd card, adb or Amaze_All-In-One_Kit_V5.1 and 4.0.
Nothing works, please help me.
I just bought this phone used a month ago, and i loved it, and its unfair for it to die for no serious reason.
Are you able to access bootloader?

If it went to the HTC logo, you probably accidentally bypassed the recovery.
Turn the phone off, remove battery wait 10 seconds, install battery, wait 10 seconds, hold the volume DOWN button, while holding the volume DOWN button, press and release the power button. Keep holding the volume DOWN button until the bootloader screen appears, and then release it.
See what you can do with that.
If it doesn't help, find the RUU for your carrier--there's a list of RUU's in General section, "They're all here now" thread, and find the instructions for properly renaming it and placing it where it needs to go to have it install.
