Kylin Chinese Tablet Android OS Stuck at red eye boot up screen.
Here is what I had to do to get the “red eye” to stop showing up on my machine. It took FOREVER to figure this out.
I installed a bootmanager that didn’t install well, and when I rebooted, the android device got stuck at the red eye screen.
Here’s what I would have done if I had know how to do this in the beginning.
You have to be able to use ADB and the SHELL and the device connected to your computer with a USB cable.
CMD for a command prompt
go to the android-sdk directory platform-tools where adb is located.
type in:
adb devices
and hit enter
your device should be listed there. If not, something’s wrong. Nothing will help you until you can see the device with ADB
now type in
adb logcat
and hit enter
this will show the last bits of what’s happening on your machine. Mine showed DEAD CODE blah blah Lcom\drx2\bootmanager blah blah DEAD CODE.
this command stopped my CMD screen from working but you need the messages listed there, so I would suggest opening another CMD prompt and going back to your adb.
now you need to make sure you can read and write to your system:
type in:
adb shell
and hit enter
type in:
mount
and hit enter
look for /system in there and the weird word after it
# mount -o rw,remount -t {here should be the weird word after system in the list. mine was ubifs} /system
mine looked like this:
# mount -o rw,remount -t ubifs /system
now I went into the system folder. I came from DOS and this part was frustrating because I couldn’t find how to issue the commands on the net, so here are the commands I used:
cd \system
cd \.. (to go up a level)
rm (remove a file)
rmdir (remove a directory)
ls (like “dir” list of files)
So I went into \system:
cd \system
then into app:
cd \app
found the crappy file: com.drx2.bootmanager-1.apk listed there.
rm com.drx2.bootmanager-1.apk (this removed the file)
now, I went back up to the top level:
cd \..
and after some searching, I looked in the data directory
cd \data
there was a directory com.drx2.bootmanager listed
I went into that and there was just a lib directory. So while I was there, I deleted the lib directory:
rmdir lib
then:
cd \..
rmdir com.drx2.bootmanager
removed that directory and thought I would try a reboot.
IT WORKED!!!
