Why my OMAP4430SDP-tablet with L27.IS.1 boot up in safe mode

I'm bringing up my omap4430sdp tablet with TI codebase L27.IS.1 now.

After boot up,  it displays "safe mode" on the left bottom corner, then if I install apk, I can't find the apk's icon in the main menu, it seems the apk I installed can't be ran.

How can I do to boot up my device into normal mode?

One more thing, when compile the code base, the u-boot image version show as "U-Boot 1.1.4-4AI.4^0-dirty (Apr 18 2012 - 16:24:28)" and the kernel image version show as "3.0.8-00007-g444fae4-dirty", I clean built the codebase but it has no help, how to compile the code base to get a clean version such as "U-Boot 1.1.4" and "3.0.8-00007"?

  • Leo,

    First, I recommend that you move to the latest ICS release: 4AI.1.3: http://omappedia.org/wiki/4AI.1.3_OMAP4_Icecream_Sandwich_Release_Notes

    L27.IS.1 is several months old.  I haven't seen any issues with booting into safe mode with 4AI.1.3.

    In order to use your own APK, you may need to go to Settings --> Security --> (under Device Administration) Unknown Sources.  This allows installation of non-market apps.  If you don't choose this option, you may not see the APK in your menu.

    I believe the "dirty" tag is due to Git: if the tree contains modifications that have not been committed to the working branch.  However, this shouldn't cause you any problems in boot up.

    Regards,

  • Gina,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I'm now moving to the 4AI.1.3 release, but I can NOT bring up my device by using this release...
