How to fix endless boot cycle..??

**JDM_SOHC** · #1 (**permalink**) 09-02-2010, 10:24 PM

Was messing with SetCPU and forgot to uncheck "Set on Boot" and now I'm in an endless boot cycle... Running Virus's Carbon B2 ROM, do I have to reflash..?? I can't manage to get the screen on long enough to change it, FML..!!

I've made that mistake. Fortunately after multiple resets I was finally able to get in and reduce the clock speed.

Yeah that's what I keep trying, I can make it to the screen to uncheck the button but as soon as setcpu opens it freezes an reboots =(

I think I was probably lucky. Did you backup first?

Yeah everythings backed up, I just didn't wanna go through all that if I could use ADB or something to remove SetCPU..??

Would this work?

adb remount
adb shell
#cd /system/apps [OR WHICHEVER DIRECTORY SetCPU IS STORED IN]
#mv setcpu.apk setcpu.apk.bak [RENAME SetCPU.APK to .BAK]
#exit
adb reboot

Wouldn't this in theory stop SetCPU from opening after the reboot?

you know the new version of setcpu has safemode built in

2.0.3 - Added a "safe mode" function that prevents SetCPU from running any tasks during boot if a file called "setcpu_safemode" exists in /sdcard or /data/local. This is useful if unstable settings were saved with "set on boot" checked.

When I did this, I booted into recovery, remounted the data partition, and deleted the apk. I am extremely comfortable with the command line, though.

If you have another ROM on your sd card boot into recovery and flash that, then do a complete wipe and reinstall the ROM of your choice. You will lose everything if it's not backed up, but at least you will have a phone that works.
