Root Ally stuck in loop at "VELOCITY" screen.

[mxc1090]

My LG Ally is stuck at the "VELOCITY" boot screen and is stuck in a loop. I had Velocity 0.3 flashed yesterday and I decided to re-flash today. I have tried wiping data/files/cache/dalvik cache. I'm stuck and I don't know what to do. Also I never did a Nandroid backup (because I'm slow).

Boot into recovery by holding SEND+MENU+END while the phone is off. Re-flash a different zip file than the one you have. You may have gotten a bad download?

 

[mxc1090]

I tried that...re-downloaded velocity 0.3 and the same thing happened. So I decided to flash 0.2 just to see if it would work. 0.2 had the same loop at the "Droid" screen. Then I tried 0.1.1 and thankfully that worked fine. So for now I have 0.1.1 completely working until I can figure this 0.3/0.2 problem.

Only thing I can think of is clearing all your cache's, but you said you tried that already.

i got the same prob with v.3 but i dont got it with v.2

 

[mxc1090]

The weird thing is that I had 0.3 working flawlessly less than 2 days ago. I'm not sure where it went wrong.

Not sure what to tell you. Sometimes my V0.3 gets stuck in the Velocity screen loop and I just have to pull the battery and restart and it's fine. Seems to happen most when I remove or replace the SD card, maybe something to do with app2sd. Is your SD card working well?

 

[jreed2560]

Sounds like an app2sd problem. Have you partitioned your sd card?

Yes, I have partitioned it. I will re-partition tonight and see if that helps. I will keep you informed. Thanks.

 

[jreed2560]

Yes repartition the card but set both values to 0. Just make sure you have all your apps backed up first. Then try installing the rom. Then you can set up a2sd again. I ran into this with my eris.

Sorry, what values? When I partition with ROM Manager it asks for 'Ext Size'. Also, I thought that apps2sd was automatically set with Velocity 0.3. I am a little confused when you say "set up a2sd again". Btw, I have no important apps right now so no reason to backup.

 

[jreed2560]

When you boot into recovery you can partition the sd card from there. It will ask you to partition ext2 and ext3. Set both values to zero then install your rom. Then go back to recovery and redo the whole thing. This time set the values to whatever you had before.

 

[mxc1090]

That was it! Just had to reformat/partition the SD card. Thanks!

Don't forget the thanks button

I most certainly did not! (post #8)

I have the same problem... happens sporadically. Seems to happen when I've removed the SD card or sometimes when I have my ally plugged into the computer (but i have not mounted the sd card). Seems to be an a2sd as previously stated.

I haven't been able to figure out enough information about it to submit it to Trident as a bug report

 

[OMGWTFSILLYGOOSE]

I had the same problem. I had to take out my SD card and put it back in, and it worked! So I'm thinking I may have a bad SD card.

i have the same but different problem. i wiped my phone and when it turned back on it froze at velocity loading screen.so i take out battery and reset in recovery and the menu/debug came up so i try changing the rom and it froze and loading screen again, so i wipe cache and formatted my card and then it got pass the loading screen but nothing was working i kept getting force close pop ups.so i took out battery and now it just stuck at loading screen.also i installed velocity .04

Hello, i readsomewhere that if you have a class 4 sd card and you format/partition the card with Rom Manager that you set the swap EXT (Second set of numbers) to 0, because it can cause a problem trying to swap/read both parts of the card....set the first EXT to whatever you want then 0 and that should fix the problem also.

[Valkerie]

People have been doing it since there have been people.

Use the 2.2 root guide… or go to GetItNowMarketings's sub forum in android development/custom ROMs and flash the recovery manually with instructions there. Are you on 2.1 or 2.2? 2.1 is velocity .1-.4 and 2.2 is 1.0 and 1.1. Another peice of advice, dont use ROM manager or ClockWorkMod Recovery. Use gnm's amonra recovery.
