wifi tether help - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just flashed DC 3.1.2 earlier today via rom manager. I wanted to use my wifi tether but every time I try to turn on the tether it force closes. I would try to uninstall and reinstall it but with DC it is protected. Does anyone know how I could fix this, and if it involved uninstalling and reinstalling it, would it be safe since its part of the rom, and how would I go about uninstalling it?

Try this.
Go into your recovery again, wipe everything, reload the rom, and then try to reinstall wifi tether,or just wipe everything and load a custom rom that already includes wifi tether on it. No sense in trying to figuire out why the app won't work. Just wipe/factory reset, dalvik cache and then flash the rom again.

[Q] App Force Close Error In Custom ROM

OK so here's my problem.. I have backups in both nandroid and Titanium Backup. I flash a ROM wait for it to do its business. After everything boots up, I try to restore everything through titanium backup but I get a force close error. I also try to open Rom Manager to see if it works and I get the same error but for Rom Manager. So the error isn't in Titanium Backup, but I do not know where it is. Any ideas?? I enjoy having custom Roms, but not if I do not have all of my stuff on the Rom.
Well I was going to attach a picture but it will not allow me because I am " New".
The error message reads as this.
! Sorry!
The application Titanium Backup (process com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
(Force Close) <---- button
It also does it with other applications such as the Facebook Launcher.
Once you flash your ROM, run Fix Permissions preferably from recovery, else use the version(s) in either Rom Manager, or Titanium.
Once that completes, reboot device. When you restore things from Titanium, just restore apps, preferably one-by-one, and only the app, not the data.
Do not at all recommend restoring apps+data+system data from Titanium. Why?
The system data backup residing in Titanium was for the last ROM, or the last time the backup was completed. As such, if you flash a different ROM, you are overwriting the system data of the new ROM with the system data from the old ROM - that spells odd behavior, mass force closes. etc. etc.
Well I tried this solution smtom, and it was to no avail. Any other suggestions?
When flashing a ROM, are you clearing cache/dalvik and doing the factory reset on the device? What version of Rom Manager & CWM are you using?
The latest version of CWM is giving people issues.
Absent all that, try not restoring apps or data (anything really) from TB when you flash the new ROM, after having wiped data/caches/user data.
Yes I'm clearing cache and data. The CWM version is 3.0.0.5, which is the latest recovery.
What does clearing the dalvik do and how do I factory reset the device?
I figured it out, with tmtom's help of course! I had to do a factory reset and then flashed the rom and everything worked. Thanks for the advice!!
I have the same error so I'm going to try the solutions provided in this thread. I do have one question though. Kalebskalicky mentioned that he finally fixed it by doing factory reset and then flashing the rom.
Just to be clear; factory reset is the same as wiping data/factory reset? Or I need to do a factory reset from the phone settings?
Another thing. I have noticed that the FC issues have something to do with gapps, acore, and/or framework processes. When I get any of these force closes, all the other apps start to crash, but all the issues start with any of those 3 processes crashing.
However, there are 2 apps that force close from the start, even before any of these 3 processes crash. These 2 apps are voxer and waze.
Is there like a way to delete the folder where they are installed? maybe it's a problem of installation? I have no idea and haven't been able to fix it.
Any suggestions, would be inmensely appreciated.
Thank you very much.
UPDATE:
Just wanted to mention that I always wipe data/factory, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, and then flash the new rom. Is this ok to do? Or am I deleting stuff I shouldn't?
Thanks again.
I also had this issue.
I had tried wiping the cache and the dalvik cache. Fixing permissions. didn't wont to format as everything was set-up how I wanted it and couldn't be bothered going through it again.
After some digging around I had to uninstall titanium backup first then delete the folder
/sdcard/external_sd/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
(there may also be /sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup to Delete)
Reinstalling titanium backup after deleting this folder, worked like a charm.
Apparently its to do with a corrupt database upgrade???
I hope this helps any one.

Can't Get a Clean install.... Need some help

I don't know what is wrong with my phone after trying to flash SenseGinger v2.1.2 (didn't work) then reflashed CM 7 RC 3 with Mattedblues theme, Then flashed to RC 4. But each time, i can't get a clean install.
Things like Mattedblues theme icons are there when I didn't even flashed the theme Also my old wallpaper is there too when its not even on the SD card. Also now my phones constantly reboots after trying to log into google after fresh install.
I cleared Factory reset/ Cleared Cache/ Cleared Dalvik cache/ Even installed a Blank SD with only the rom.
WHat the hell is going on??? is there is secret cache somewhere i forgot to clear?
help
if you have wifi enable it will do a bootloop, so after a install do a reboot and that should stop...try to do a clean install of RC4, also if you backed up from google it will restore everything even wallpaper

No no wifi no nothing. Tried it even without a google account login and its still goes crazy. I think somehow my past rom data doesn't get deleted, but i have no idea where they are hiding at....
Right now i am doing a full HTC signed rom install and going to see how it goes.

[Q] Just rooted el29 but cant connect to wifi?

What i did:
I updated my phone a week ago with the ota EL29 then the next day i rooted my phone using the tools in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
Then i installed clock work from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
The wifi problem is when I try to connect:
I type in my PW as allways, and then its trying to obtain IP and then it disables and keeps doing the same thing over and over.i flashed the blazer rom following the directions countless times wiped everything and used the Calkulin's Format All before installing but no luck.
Any one know what i could be doing wrong?
Whats funny is that i did this for someone else and everything is 100% lol.
-update-
-i did a factory reset but still no luck,then i restored el29 stock rooted but sill nothing
Try flashing a ROM. Any ROM will do, but when you do:
wipe data, cache, dalvik and format system (under mounts and storage). Flash new ROM, check to see if wifi works on the new ROM. if yes, then go find a stock EL29 ROM (Do NOT restore your old one) and flash it after wiping data, cache, dalvik and formatting system again.
That should do it

[Q] LGOG ZVC Stock Browser Crashes

So I have a very strange problem right now.
I'm running Stock ZVC (flashed with LGNPST), rooted via Fiddy, and unlocked via FreeGee. I have updated my PRL, Profile, software, etc and it's running a-okay.
Except the stock web browser. It usually force closes as soon as I run it and when I can launch it, it always force closes after I try to go to a URL. I've done nothing to the phone except what's noted above, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Does anybody else have the same issue?
I've had no problems with it. If clearing the Browser Data and Cache dosn't work. I would suggest wipping data in TWRP recovery.
Did you delete any System files or do any build.prop edits, etc?

Well, I feel like a simpleton! :silly: Clearing the app data within the phone didn't work, but wiping data in TWRP did. Thanks so much!
Also, I did no changes to the stock ROM at all besides the root via fiddy and the unlock via freegee. But all is good now!

[Q] My rooted VS985 won't install apps, display settings

Hi everyone,
Long time reader, first time poster.
Yesterday I was trying to download some updates, and I started getting 110 error codes when they tried to install. I did some googling and found the best way to fix it was to clear the data and cache for Google Play Store. I opened my settings, but for some reason, my application manager won't load the cache and data amounts for each app, so I can't clear the cache for anything.
I then tried to download an APK via chrome, but I couldn't install that either. It just said "install unsuccessful".
I ran into the problem with the application manager once before, but the issue then was that I had greenified an important process, and as soon as I let it run everything was fine. I thought that was the problem this time, but uninstalling greenify hasn't helped.
I'm rooted, but I don't have custom recovery, so I can't side load anything and I'm not sure if I can restore my phone safely. I also can't download any apps to help me fix the problem, since they won't install.
Any suggestions? I'm at a loss as to what to do!
I'd download your firmware and try a dirty flash with flash tool, might work or you could install custom recovery and fix permissions, or failing that, enter stock recovery and factory reset

Would factory reset still work given that I've rooted the phone and deleted 40+ stock apps?
