Hi to everyone.

I was updating my tab to the latest version of the ROM of sbdags.
Everything was fine until i reboot the tab to use it for the first time: loop in the boot animation and never come out from it.
I came from the previous version of the rom, the Cromi-x 6.1 with 10.26.1.18 bootloader.

The process i use to update was this:
1) wipe of data/factory reset, wipe with format /boot, wipe with format /system
2) Install the CWM recovery 6.0.5.0 and update the bootloader to 11.4.1.17 by flashing they with the file that you can find in the rom page.
3) repeat point 1
4) install the rom by flashing it from an SD. Complete the Aroma installer and answer to every option that it ask to me.
5) reboot the system and stuck in the bootanimation :(

I use the WW format cause i'm italian and i check the md5 :(

What's wrong? I can go to recovery everytime i need and i have a backup just in case i need it.

Sdbags, i really want to offer you a beer for your work. I think i will do it in every case, but yes, kitkat on my tab would be great :victory:

Sorry for bad english. For every question, i'm here. Thanks a lot.

Don't do step 3. Try it again please.

Try the default options first.

If default option are those who are pre-selected on the aroma installer i've already try it.

I don't know if this can be helpful, but if i restore the backup of the previous version of the rom everything work fine. I'm reading the discussion of the guy with the partition problem and i was wondering if maybe the problem was the same, but i don't think it.

Another time, sorry for bad english and thanks for all your work sdbags.

That log is fine - everything is installed.

Read out the bootloader version from the bootloader screen to double check please.

Also you are rebooting after installing the bootloader and cwm package aren't you?

Also you are rebooting after installing the bootloader and cwm package aren't you?

When i install cwm and bootloader package i reboot from cwm but i stuck in boot animation. The same that happen when i try to reboot after install the rom.

In bootloader screen i read
Android macallan-user BL released by WW_epad-11.4.1.17-20140711

Right and then you boot back to CWM, do a full wipe (you may need to wipe your internal sdcard so back it up first) and then flash the rom. After that it should boot fine.

If not please search xda for how to get a logcat and post one of it bootlooping please.

I try the first thing that you say but nothing, still loop in bootanimation.
I'll do a logcat through adb in the afternoon. Now i had some problem cause i can't mount usb storage through cwm for some reason. Late i'll find drivers or what's missing.

Maybe can help: when i reboot frequently cwm ask me if i want to fix root. It's normal?

Thanks you for your help.

That message is normal. Just a bug in CWM.

We need to find why you are bootlooping.

Ok, logcat is here.

Hope it can help.

OK You got some serious problems there. It would appear that your internal sdcard doesn't mount:

Code:

D/Vold    (  359): *********** Success!! "ro.epad.mount_point.sdcard=/mnt/media_rw/sdcard"

E/Vold    (  359): lookupVolume usbdisk2 failed!

E/Vold    (  359): lookupVolume sdreader failed!

D/Vold    (  359): checkUsbdisk sucess.

D/DirectVolume(  359): i:0 minor:48 

D/Vold    (  359): Volume sdcard state changing 0 (No-Media) -> 2 (Pending)

D/DirectVolume(  359): i:1 minor:49 

D/Vold    (  359): Volume sdcard state changing 2 (Pending) -> 1 (Idle-Unmounted)

@lj50036, @_that any suggestions for this one?

@aMachi - what is the SKU of your device? And you can restore a nandroid back to 4.3 and it works fine?

i've some problem to find the SKU code. I search on the box of the tablet but there are too many codes and i don't know what's the right. Can you give me an exemple of it?

Yes, i can restore to 4.3. In this right moment i'm writing with the tab with cromix 6. Everything seems to work fine.
In case like this you really know how much important is to do a backup.. ;)

SKU is just your country code - so if you have changed it it could be causing issues with the clean install.

US, WW, TW, CN, JP are the only 5 I know of.

So if you changed the bootloader from US to WW I heard another user reporting some issues.

But in your case I am at a loss as to how you can boot 4.3 but not 4.4.2 as you are apparently on a 4.4.2 compatible bootloader and recovery .......

Ah, right, i understand. I am WW, and i use it in every installation that i've done on my eee pad, from the rooting process and the unlocking of bootloader to the change of the rom.

Now that i am on the previous version of your rom those are infos of kernel, firmware, ecc.
Android Version 4.3
Kernel Version 3.4.57-g47dbe4d android@Virgo#1
Tue Dec 17 23.26.15 CST 2013
Build Number TF701T_CROMi-Xenogenesis-6.1-WW_DEODEX-ORIGINAL-10.26.1.18 020115_201310210002

In ROM Manager i can see that my Recovery still is the 6.0.5.0 version.
In bootloader i can see that it is "WW_epad-11.4.1.17-20140711"

Hope that this might be helpful and hope that i don't write anything of unsafe.

NO that is expected but hat is not expected is why you can't boot 4.4.2. Let's wait for _that and lj50036 to cast their expert eyes over your issues.

This seems to be the core of the problem:

Code:
E/dalvikvm(13002): JNI posting fatal error: Native registration unable to find class 'com/android/internal/os/RuntimeInit'; aborting...

Check that the framework is correctly installed and the BOOTCLASSPATH is set correctly:

Code:
adb shell echo $BOOTCLASSPATH > bootclasspath.txt
adb shell ls -l /system/framework > framework.txt

Ok, so maybe now i need some help.
I run adb in my pc then i type adb shell to run the remote shell interactively.
Then what i need to type?
Anyway if i type "ls -l /system/framework > framework.txt" the response is "No such file or directory"

Sorry for my n00b questions. Really hope to learn something here, and give a chance to reward everyone for the help.

The commands were supposed to be typed as is on your computer. However I think I missed to quote the "echo $BOOTCLASSPATH" - I want the bootclasspath of your device, not of your PC. ;)

Anyway, if you type "adb shell" first and then "ls -l /system/framework" and you get back "No such file or directory" that's strange...

Ok so tomorrow i'll give you the result of this test. I hope that i learn how to right use this command.
Any other thing that i can do?
