I've set up a android emulator with a snapshot of a specific state i need to go back every time. the snapshot is created and is listed and i can also start directly with this snapshot with

emulator -avd MyAVD -snapshot mystate -no-snapshot-save

the problem is now that the emulator restart itselfs after i load the snapshot after i did my changes in the emulator. So if i use

echo -e "avd snapshot load mystate\nexit" | nc localhost 5554

the snapshot is loaded correctly but then after some seconds i see the bootloader screen. Whats happening there?

this phenomen is repeatable with different emulators and different snapshots. is it possible that i just misuse a feature here?

edit: it seems this problem is only occuring when i load a snapshot multiple times. after starting the emulator, everything is working quite well. now i load my snapshot, also everything is working well.

but when i now load the same snapshot again, it will correctly load it but then the emulator will restart.

so is there any possibility to load a snapshot multiple times? otherwise i always need to restart my emulator, which takes a long time...
