999280 - Assertion failure: OOPInitialized(), at /home/work/B2G-hamachi/b2g-inbound/toolkit/crashreporter/nsExceptionHandler.cpp:2169

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 820716

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, defect)

Description

[Dave Hylands [:dhylands]]

Attachment: Saved Crash Reports files.

I experienced a crash on my hamachi phone. It refused to boot up.

I even tried pulling the battery, and then booting up. The last message I saw in logcat was:

Assertion failure: OOPInitialized(), at /home/work/B2G-hamachi/b2g-inbound/toolkit/crashreporter/nsExceptionHandler.cpp:2169

Rebooting continued to crash at exactly the same place.

I then removed all of the files from /data/b2g/mozilla/Crash Reports and the phone booted up properly.

I did save the files from the Crash Reports directory if that proves to be useful and added a tarball as an attachment.

Comment 2

[Dave Hylands [:dhylands]]

I tried to reproduce, and the second time it continually rebooted (with the assertion mentioned seen just before it reboots).

Marking as critical, since this effectively bricks the phone for a typical user.

Removing the LastCrashFilename file was enough to break it out of the infinite loop and allowed the phone to boot normally.

I was investigating bug 998097 when I stumbled onto this.

My STR (using a hamachi eng build):

- Launch DS Test
- Select "Used Space" in the command drop down
- Touch Do It
- wait for 45 seconds
- Touch Do It again.

This triggers the bug in 998097, which then in turn triggers this bug.

I was staring at this trying to remember the bug it was a dupe of, thanks!
