[Q] tf300t bootloop

[koszmann]

hi everybody,
i have a strange situation. i am running cromxi 5.1.1 with kernel _thatv5. this i have already flashed a while ago, and everything was working perfectly (so i assume, i have done everything correct while wiping and flashing...).
but today when i startet my tab, it got a bootloop. at the end it says something like 'android is updated and apps are startet', but then starts booting from the beginning. unfortunately i cannot enter the bootloader menu with pressing the vol up key.

does anybody has an idea what went wrong?

as i said, it was working perfectly until today and i did not install any strange new apps...

So did you flash a new ROM today, or did it just stop working?

no, i flashed it when it was released, before that, i was already running the previous versions of cromix.
so far without problems. today it stopped working.

i now managed to get into bootloader menu (took me quite a while...). i wiped everything and installed cromix5.1.1 from scratch. worked until all apps were installed and updated, then the same problem appeared again... i will try now to figure out, which app is responsible...

If you are using TI, make sure you dont restore system data. that usually ends in complications for me

If you are constantly getting "Android is upgrading... Optimizing app __ of ___," you should try flashing an updated CROMi-X 5.1.1 ROM from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46957469&postcount=883

It's updated to fix the "Android is upgrading... on every boot" issue that was reported by some users. But, if you were using the Deodex version, then you might have a different issue and don't need this update.

And yes, I would also recommend clean install with "Wipe Dalvik & Cache" when installing CROMi-X 5.1.1. Weird and unexpected problems can sometimes occur when doing dirty flashing. Good luck :good:

After my first upgrading attempt (5.1 << 5.1.1) I've had the same issue. So I did a clean re-install (wipe cache + davlik) good luck.

yes, u have to do clean reinstall. if not it will stuck at bootloop again.
