Uninstalling or disabling Orwall causes boot loop

[Gakuseinozen]

I'm on a T-Mobile Samsung Note 4 (SM-N910T)

Rooted, stock 4.4.4

Whenever i try to disable (freeze via titanium backup, or disable through the app itself) or uninstall Orwall, it causes my phone to go into a boot loop. The loop is not immediate; my phone will run for about a minute or two after booting up and then immediately reboot.

If i leave Orwall installed and enabled everything works fine, except i get no internet connection via wifi.

Any ideas on how i can uninstall Orwall?

Hello,

never saw this behavior… maybe Samsung stock rom has some issues (wouldn't be the first time).

Regarding uninstall, all is written on the website:

• disable init-script
• uninstall app

We cannot remove the init-script upon uninstall event.

Also, "no connection via wifi" is a bit weird… Maybe related to #45 though you seem to have the opposite effect. Care to provide some debug information? Debugging procedure is also on the website:

• LogCat output
• outputs of iptables -vnL and iptables -vnL -t nat

Cheers,

C.

I do not have init script enabled, it says my phone does not support it.

Unfortunately I cannot get your website to open.

Regarding the debug data, can you elaborate on how to get that?

There's no reason in orWall for the boot loop… Nothing at all, unless some crappy thing in Samsung ROM goes berserk (which might be the case, as they are known for crappy ROM tuning).

Out of curiosity, which version and which source did you use for orWall installation?

Regarding debug: LogCat is an app you can install from f-droid, it will allow you to get system logs in order to determine why it reboots.
The iptables commands have to be run on the device, either through some terminal application or, better, through ADB.
