[Q] Dalvic wipe

[Boblud]

I've searched for a solution to this, but have failed. Sorry if I've missed it elsewhere....anyway...The only way I can get my new One Mini to boot, is to do a Dalvic Wipe, then boot up. This is everytime I want to boot it! If I don't turn it off, it's fine.

Any ideas out there how to cure it, please? It is irritating.

Thanks

Does it upgrade/optimise apps every boot?
What rom are you running? Custom? Stock? Version? Any mods?

Can you explain what's going on a little better? Does it only happen when you do a cold boot (power off, then power on) or also when you restart it normally? Also, what happens when you boot normally (without clearing the dalvik cache)?

It's on cold boots only. Without a dalvik wipe, it does the followinh

1 HTC (in capitals) flashes up and the phone vibrates once
2 HTC goes, and htc (lower case) appears
3 Then the HTC One flash screen appears for about 20 secs
4 The screen goes blank
5 then htc (lower case) appears and the phone vibrates once (at this stage, the white background is not so bright)
6 steps 3, 4 and 5 loop

After step 4 I push vol down , and it boots into bootloader...I do a dalvik wipe...reboot into system, and off it goes, upgrading and optimising all apps, and it will work fine until it's turned off again and requires a cold boot.

Can't really say more than that!

Thanks for your cerebral time.

So after getting to HBOOT, you choose recovery, then wipe dalvik, reboot..... Which recovery are you running? Also, do you have titanium backup installed? If so, go into menu, Wipe Dalvik Cache - it should give you a pop-up message showing any "files unused" - what does it say?
Have you added any apps? Maybe Google wallet?

Titanium backup yes...It says "Found no unneeded files in the Dalvik cache.

No Google wallet, but several other downloaded apps, but nothing I haven't run successfully on other HTC phones.

Which recovery image are you using?
Reboot to bootloader, choose fastboot, plug in your phone to your pc, assuming you have an adb package, start a command window on your pc, type:
fastboot erase cache
Then make sure you have a recovery image in the adb folder and type:
Fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Reboot

I'm using twrp 2.6.0.0. Do you suggest anything different?

OK .Done all that . Reflashed Twrp 2.6.0.0.

I now get

1 htc flash screen (note, in lower case)
2 then it goes off to be replaced by htc screen.....which just sits there!! Nothing else.
3 held down power button for 10 secs or so, and we're back to where we were, I'm afraid

Try adb..... Connect your phone while in Windows, and do this:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /data
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache/*
exit
exit
adb reboot

All done....but not one jot of difference.
Let's have the rest of sat night off! You certainly deserve it. If I could find the right ruu to unroot etc, I'd do that and return it to HTC. Sensible?

Regards and many thanks, again.

The only ruu I'm aware of is for the US Cingular http://androidruu.com/?developer=M4
I've been in touch with htc dev and requested ruu for unbranded and multiple carriers and they are working on it, should be available relatively soon.....

Which rom are you on? Wwe (401)?
If so, I can help blow everything away and start scratch (not fully stock, need the ruu).....
I've only heard of the bug manifesting itself on phones with s-off.....
You on or off?

Right, backup all your content, files etc. Do a TB backup of your apps, copy the folder to your PC along with your content.

PM me when you've done that and we'll chat on IM/hangouts, easier to walk-through....?
