Alright..........I change roms quite often on my EVO 4G. But once I zipped the UNleashed rom, things started to head down hill!!! I was getting force-closes out the ass! So I tried to change roms to solve the problem. I then went to the new Myn's Z rom, nothing was better. So I zipped the ELITE rom came, and I couldnt even open my market!! Plus a few other things. So then i zipped the 1.3.4 MIUI rom.....smh......and I kept getting a "android.process.acore" force-close REPEATEDLY!!!! I couldnt do ANYTHING without it popping up!! So I zipped and went back to Myn's Warm2point2 which is where i was before all this! And NOW.....my "PHONE" and my "PEOPLE" are ERASED from the phone!!! I CANT connect the phone to a computer using the USB!!!! And HTC sense and anything related to it is ERASED from the phone completely!!!..........did I mention I have NO NANDROID BACKUP!?!? I cant make calls, recieve calls, make texts, recieve texts, view my contacts, view my call log.....ANYTHING!!! So.......................................A SOLUTION PLEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
try to wipe all data and cache in recovery mode....
Im doing that as we speak!! Hope it works.......smh
What he said.....same thing happened to me and doing that (read above) solved my issue.
On a second note....I've edited your post's title....don't offer money unless you are willing to pay up.....for example...you owe the guy above me $1000...do you plan to pay him? Or even worst...now you owe me $1000....soooo
Cheers,
M_T_M
Wouldnt have a problem with it, but I see you point! But....that still didnt solve the issue!! :-/
Where is moderator when he needed.
take the battery out for three to five minutes...replace it and turn phone on CWR....clear data and cache (hoping you did a backup) and the reboot...it should fix it.

Dude.
RUU
start over.
First thing is to calm down. Sounds like things are messed up probably from flashing so many different things and not doing it properly.
If you don't want to flash back to stock, try this. Shut your phone down and yank your sd card. If you read it directly from the computer does it seem to work ok? If not, your sd card could be borked. If it pulls up ok, format it. Then, put back in your phone and boot into recovery. Wipe everything. Then, try to mount your card via recovery usb mount. If it still doesn't mount, then post back. If it does, move the rom you want onto the card and flash it. Then, go from there and see how things turn out.

Wipe Everything 3 times. Seriously.
I'm having real trouble with installing these roms.(insertcoin 1.0.8 and rcmixS V2.0)
What I've done so far.
Rooted with unrevoked.
Created ext3 partition using gParted.
Successfully installed rom to working.
To get it working, I have to revert to my stock backup and then copy over the top of the data etc.
Problems once working:
1) Mail app refuses to connect to active sync server and pull down mail, I've reverted to my stock backup and copied the settings to the letter and it still refuses to connect and get the mail
2) Contacts, HTCContacts will not display my contacts or let me access their cards, however shows their details in call log including FB picture.
I want to wipe everything and do it from scratch, however I get stuck on the wallpaper and notification bar and it won't load the rest of sense so it's completely unusable.
I know my ext3 partition works correctly as I've installed loads of apps etc when i got it working and quick system info registered my partition of 1gb ext3.
Try to clear storage from hboot, and flash the latest radio the last thing worked for me
You mate, are a blooming genious, I've been pulling my hair out wiping it from clockworkmod and it was such a simple fix, thank-you so much.
I can start enjoying my phone again instead of getting frustrated with it to the point i wanted to throw it against a wall

I think the second one, clearing storage doesn't help maybe in 1 out of 100 cases
latest radio is very important with InsertCoin
But do it before you flash a radio
Atleast i did

I'm happy for you that you managed to do it, it looks like a simple fix, but it's one of the things that can brick your device easily so be careful when you flash radio's, always charge you battery full if you'll ever have to do it again(not that it will use up all of it just for safety)
Fyi, I used clear storage. I'm still on stock radio and hboot.

First and foremost, I pray this is the right thread. Trying to do right.
Hello to all.
My 8 gb sd Card is not accessible. I see it in "about phone storage", but when I click on it, I get a message that says "sorry, settings has stopped worrking".
I have the CyanogenMod 10-20120815 UNOFFICIAL-d2spr.
I am very new to this and I am learning as I go.
The Kernel is "3.0.40-cyanogenmod-g7de7eff
[email protected]#29
Tue Aug 14 19:16:16 PDT 2012
CPU ARMv7 Processor rev(v71)
Build number :cm_d2spr-eng 4.1.1 JRO03L eng
shareef.20120814.221509 test-keys
Oh yeah, Android Ver :4.1.1
I do have a very slight flicker on app opening. I have very few complaints with the mod since it is my first and I have to learn how to KEEP UP.
So please, any advice will be greatly appreciated. AND I have been searching for a fix and "googling" terminology as I search. If you could direct me to the "stable" "official" "no leak" (learned what that is) and/or the latest, is it "nightly", I would be so happy. I take a lot of pictures and I do not want to use internal memory for that.
I did download , "cm-9-20120916-nightly-d2spr". Should I install that one over the old one, or should I do a clean install.
Please help. Trying to fix screw up with the latest "hightly". SMH. But I am Learning.
TIA

okay lemme see if I have this straight.you're on Cyanogen 10 (4.1)now and u want to downgrade to cyanogen 9(4.0)?. I dont understand why but if you're going to do it you have to wipe. I would wipe system is well. as far is the screen flickering, it happens on some builds. your current version is outdated.I would download the newest build(9/18) from http://get.cm/?device=d2spr. Runnin now no complaints. as far as the SD card goes, can it be seen in recovery? Thinkin maybe needs formatted. if recovery sees it okay try another rom. if it still don't work you should probably re format it.
Thank you so very much. Last night I really screwed up but got phone back booted. I installed "9-20120916-nightly-d2spr. Very buggy. I did not see the 10 version when I downloaded it. So, do I just download it and install over it,or do I have to wipe cache and devlic? I am learning and need some help
Also, I do not have clockwork installed. Was on sd card. I did format to fat32.
Thank you again for the reply.

You could probably get away w/ just wiping cache and dalvik-cache but a full wipe is always recommended. If you don't wipe first and have issues after flashing, go back and do a wipe and reinstall. And if you need recovery grab it from here http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-d2spr.img flash w/ mobile Odin. Alternatively you can flash this from regular odin on a pc https://dl.dropbox.com/s/87xg1wmhbtvbohn/cwmrecovery.tar?dl=1

BUT THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH for the right and what seems to be a good ROM so far.
I still have a problem with the sdcard. I have the problem that when I click on "audio" in the storage section, it says "sorry settings has stopped working" Any ideas?
The card is formatted to fat32. I changed the formatting from "fat" when I first started having the problems with the bad rom. Could the sdcard be bad just in the phone. It works on laptop.
Also, is there a section so I can update PRL and the other two updates?
Thank you soo much again

Was the card able to be read in recovery? And as of now im gonna blame the rom if you formatted the card. Try making a nandroid backup, wiping everything and reinstalling the rom clean. I bet thats the issue. And no PRL/Profile updates are not available on aosp based roms (aokp,cm,PA)
If you have to do them, do a nandroid backup, wipe all and reinstall something touchwiz based.(Blazer rom,freegs3,Stock etc)

I see this message during the "wipe Dalvik cache". " E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"
Dalvik Cache wiped.
WOW. I have chills BILLARD412! SO FAR EVERYTHING IS WORKING!!!!!
I am going to install "File Manager" by Rhythm Software. I am doing this to try and access ext-sdcard. When I click on it in the "storage" section. It just "flashes". Well, I do not see an option to "open" ext-sdcard. hmmm What am I doing WRONG?

In this thread you can post your experience, questions, and all other stuff that is not directly related to the RE-FLEXxx rom.
I do this to keep the dev thread clean.
Thank you for your understanding.
I will take a look into this thread from time to time but the main goal is so that users of the RE-FLEXxx rom can help out each other and that they can find help from each other in one place.

I installed 2.0 on my N5110 (coming from 1.9) and it is working well but the top of my tablet is non-responsive to touch. Happened on other releases but a reboot always fixed it. This time the problem remained, so I tried wiping cache, dalvik, fixing permissions, reboots, and all sorts of combinations. I did finally manage to fix the issue yesterday after one of those reboots but now the problem just reappeared and won't go away. Any suggestions?
Edit: Finally got it resolved with a full wipe of data, cache, and dalvik through cwm recovery. Then I flashed Civz reflexx Rom 2.1 and rebooted. The top of the screen still did not respond to touch, so I rebooted and now everything works perfectly. :thumbup:

yes, hd happened to me, I re downloaded and reflashed it again and is OK now..
well, I finally installed twrp, and backed up my stock rom, so I am getting ready to flash the first custom rom on any tablet I have had!
one quick question; I am a very experienced rom flasher; I see in TWRP, there are several options under the wipe menu, and, I know to check the first 4 options before flashing this rom; then, there are 2 more options, wipe internal card, and wipe external card.
I know not to wipe my external card, since all my "stuff" is there...should I wipe the internal card before flashing, or is that not necessary when flashing this rom from a stock rom?
I apoligize if this belongs in the the TWRP thread, but I thought since others have probably gone through this, I wanted to post the question here as well. I guess I should post it in the TWRP thread as well...
thank you!

This is my opinion on it.....I usually only wipe the internal card if I am starting completely over with flashing a device. Wiping data/cache is usually all that is needed but if there are a lot of apps that get installed over time their folders get left and every so often I like to wipe it to get rid of all the "orphaned" folders. If you are going to just restore all those apps anyways then it won't make a difference either way. If you are going from the stock rom to a TW custom based on the stock it shouldn't be necessary to flash internal.
thanks man, that is what I thought, but, since I have never flashed a custom rom on to any tablet I have owned, I wasnt sure if there was other "stuff" on the internal card that might be needed no matter what; and, yes, since I will just be restoring all of my apps pretty much once I flash this custom rom, I might as well just leave the internal card alone...
I appriciate your fast reply!

Please take my advice with caution...I did not take your point into consideration because I have yet to do it on this particular tablet (only had the Note for 1 day). Never had a problem on any other tablets/devices but who knows. I wouldn't think there would be an issue. However, like you say probably no reason to wipe internal if you will just be restoring them back anyways.

tun.ko or tap.ko?
I'm trying to get openvpn to work on REFLEX2.0 in tap mode. Looks like I need a tap.ko kernel module for either the stock kernel or the CivZ-StormBorn_Rev2.0-OC kernel. Anyone know where I might find such a thing?
---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------
I notice the CivZ-StormBorn_Rev2.0-OC kernel has no /proc/config.gz file. That means the kernel was not compiled with the CONFIG_IKCONFIG option. Is there a way to see what options are baked in to the kernel?

Chrome screen bug solution
Basically the problem is the notification bar, combined with the lack of on-screen softkeys. In order to fix it, you need the following:
Xposed Framework:
http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/XposedInstallerDownloadUnsigned.apk
How it works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
App Settings manager:
http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/Xposed/AppSettings_0.4.apk
I've been using this combination on my tablet for a while now. It lets me change the resolution for individual apps. For instance, I want the tablet mode of Gmail, but I want my tablet to run in phablet mode so that I get the top notification bar and no softkeys.
The Chrome fix is simple. The app settings for the Chrome executable should have the fullscreen option toggled, the DPI set to 160, and the screen resolution set to 800x1200. It then hides the notification bar on top while you're in the browser, and shifts the screen that quarter of an inch where it is offset due to the Chrome bug on tablets without softkeys. If you need to access the notification bar, simply swipe down on the screen from the top edge and it will pop up.
If the print size is too small, you can use the accessibility settings in Chrome to scale up the font size.

Question
I'm thinking of flashing a new ROM having used stock for month or so now. My concern is regarding the apps I have installed and am currently using, specifically FolderMount.
If I flash a new ROM (either civs older 4.1 build or his newer 4.2 one depending on how he is progressing), will I lose the links?
I have about 25GB worth of game obb and data transferred over from my internal memory to my micro SD. I dont fancy using up all my download allowance having to re- download and install all of those (plus the time it takes to transfer them all over). I dont mind losing the layout of my homescreens as I'm thinking of shaking that up anyway.
I've only one past experience of flashing a Rom and that ended up with me having to reinstall and set up all my apps (jump from ICS to JB on my Asus TF101)
flex beam 4.2.2 download unsuccessful

My Samsung Galaxy SIII from Sprint just freezes from time to time and I have to hold down the power button for 10 seconds to manually shut it down and boot it back up, sometimes whenever it boots up it has deleted all of my contacts and text messages. The phone also just reboots randomly, and during some of the times I turn the phone back on it says some applications have crashed, usually it was always Skype so I uninstalled it and it still crashes.
Can anyone help? I've tried unrooting, restoring, factory reset, flashing different roms, nothing changes!

I just said I have rooted and unrooted and the only way(that I know of) to do that is with Odin, anyway, yes, I've completely restored(as mentioned in original post) and I've used many different ROMS, like MOAR, Cyanogen, MIUI and a few others with the same results, I've used both CM and TWRP recoveries.
I know this is silly but sometimes it is as simple as going into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik.

Well OK then @icytux. I apologize for trying to help. I come across many people who fail to do all of these things and 99% of the time it is "USER ERROR" I'm sure you wiped as you were flashing the roms what I was referring to is after the rom loads and your problems start. That's when you should go into recovery and wipe data and dalvik and maybe fix permissions. Also some people tend to think the are performing a full wipe and they are actually not. I use twrp and go to advanced wipe and select data, system, cache, and dalvik. I also do a recommended triple wipe and don't restore all of my apps with data through Tibu. People do this with system apps not knowing what they are doing and that is some things that cause some people's issues. I have no idea of your level of knowledge but what I do know is you seem to be rude to the people who are trying to help you out. I'm sure next time you have an issue and start a thread, myself and @Jessooca will probably not be trying to help you out since you basically just spit in Our face. HAVE A NICE DAY

Look, I'm sorry for sounding like an ass and insulting you if I did, I really didn't mean to come by that way but I did know to format , Data, System, Cache, Dalvik Cache three times or more before installing a new ROM or before flashing with ODIN, I've used different USB cables, re-downloaded files, ports and even different computers, the one thing I did not know from everything everyone here has said was fixing permissions, I'll try that, thanks.
PS.
The one thing I won't do is crack open my S3 as I don't know if that will negate the ability to trade the phone in to Sprint for a new one when the contract expires.

Mr. Icy, it does appear that you have taken the right steps to alleviate your issues... May I suggest reformatting your internal (phone) memory and either reformat your sd card, get a new one or take it out all together?? I know this sounds strange but it appears as if your memory isn't formatted correctly, possible has a virus, or may just be bad... If its bad and you have exhuasted all your resources here I would let sprint know and get a replacement... I had a bad S3 once (it was the port though)... Let us know and good luck! I really hope you get it fixed I know it can be VERY fustrating!

It's OK I understand your frustration. I am a mechanic /electrician and work on half a million to 1 million dollar equipment everyday and when there is a problem I start off with the simple stuff and just keep eliminating things until I find the problem. That's all I was trying to do with my advice to you. Now since we know you went through all that simple stuff I would do like Vectus said and wipe your internal as well. Save the important stuff obviously so you can transfer it back to phone from your computer. I would also backup your sd card and reformat it. Then download the rom you want and make sure you have the matching firmware /modem /kernel ect .... That you will need. That would be my next step if I was you and if it all works good put the Stuff that you want /need back a few at a time so if it happens again it will be easier to pin point if you have a corrupted file somewhere. Keep us updated as we will try our best to continue to help.

I am a mechanic /electrician and work on half a million to 1 million dollar equipment everyday and when there is a problem I start off with the simple stuff and just keep eliminating things until I find the problem. That's all I was trying to do with my advice to you. Now since we know you went through all that simple stuff I would do like Vectus said and wipe your internal as well. Save the important stuff obviously so you can transfer it back to phone from your computer. I would also backup your sd card and reformat it. Then download the rom you want and make sure you have the matching firmware /modem /kernel ect .... That you will need. That would be my next step if I was you and if it all works good put the Stuff that you want /need back a few at a time so if it happens again it will be easier to pin point if you have a corrupted file somewhere. Keep us updated as we will try our best to continue to help.

Thank you, I will be doing this tonight, I'll update the status in a day or two to see if it worked or not.

Hey, sorry for the long wait, my ISP thought it would be funny to cease my internet connection even though I paid this month, anyway.
Sadly no luck, the phone continues to do random reboots, shut downs and such, thankfully contacts, text messages or apps haven't been deleted, so I guess that' one problem fixed.

I know this is a long shot. But back in the day I had an OG EVO 4G with a bad factory battery. The battery was causing an intermittent short ( it was a manufacturing defect in the battery) . Thereby causing the voltage to fluctuate wildly, causing reboots. So with that in mind. Have you tried a different battery ? Just trying to eliminate possibilities.
