[SOLVED] All roms refuse to boot - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have tried applying CyanogenMod, Frankenstein FROYO, VIPERrom (FRoZeN), Mammon's Bonsai4All (I want this one), and MeatRom (found on sdx-developers.com). All of them resulted in the phone going to the Samsung Mobile boot screen, but not getting any further. Even worse than just sitting there some of the roms made my restore attempts not work. Fortunately I found out about Odin flashing, so I managed to get back to a stable state and restore.
Here is some information about my phone if it helps. If anything else is needed I'll dig that up too.

A couple of those mentioned ROMs are EXT4 only and must use Clockwork v3. Clockwork being on the v2.5 build may be your issue.
Give the thread a bit more time to sit, I'm sure some more knowledgeable people will follow up with you.
Good luck.

Yep, it was all because clockworkmod wasn't up to date. Rom Manager really needs to be updated or fixed because it doesn't provide any way to get the newest version.
So does this forum close threads when solved? If so it's ready.

You could edit the thread title and append "Solved." Glad I could help.

[Q] installition failure

I just did some changes and am starting to get failures. I had portioned my sd card with clockworkmod in rom manager and did not find the option to change ext2 to ext3 so i left it be for a few months.
I then got pri zip for 1.77_003 that required RA recovery since clowckworkmod 2.5.0.1 would not allow me to install the zip for new pri (root users). Flashed RA 1.8.0
As a froyo 2.2 user, it gives the option for me to auto update apps in market, so I use it. Since I am in a small area that has sprint 3g with 2 bars in AM, and roam with 3 bars in PM, it will start the update then fail. I loose the app as it removes the app before installing new version (removes then fails to install update), also I have just learned to undo partition and happened to loose all data on card while doing so. Was a shocker to me. I have lost some apk apps that were not on market and can't get those apps from market to install now. I lost adobe air and superuser for sure and can't get them to re-install.

It's happens with adobe air too, and something else i didn't catch with the triangle with ! in middle on taskbar before a reboot.
I am running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352
And I lost ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1 when I had to flash RA 1.8.0 to get pri 1.77_003.zip to flash. CW fails to flash in rom manager ever since I got pri update to flash with RA. Have made several attempts to get it with failure since update to new pri.
Hope I don't have to re-root with superuser app files to get it back.
That should have covered all details as to where I am at now.
Please help with something if you can.
Yes this thread is a question.
Questions are:
Does anyone have the superuser apk that will install, adobe air, and any apk's I may have forgotten that might show up later in thread? (will post as I remember or realize they are gone)

Yup the one and only
Anychance you could extract it? I'm away from my proper setup for a while.
Simply unyaffs it.
But i don't suggest you to do that cause it suck.
It shows default gingerbread launcher, and default lockscreen, and touchscreen doesn't work.
I managed to get touchcscreen and screen off working, but can't understand where is honeycomb launcher...
That's actually what I wanted to check. Seems they have foregone updating the regular screen layouts. =/
They honeycomb launcher is in the XLarge folders of launcher2.
Seems there's still holding some stuff for AOSP. The HC gallery isn't there either.

inside my browser and into some google reader rss content.
It seems to appear above images (flash movies are working though) and not all of them, i can see images quite well.
This is quite annoying and it doesn't occur on Opera Mini browser, just in the STOCK BROWSER of HTC desire.
I'm using a stock rom => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833310
I don't remember seeing this white question mark using default stock rom, so ... any advice ? I also tryied to clean browser cache and data but it didn't help.
Thanks in advance.
just a stab in the dark...do you have images turned off, or an ad blocker?
adfree, but those same images works with OperaMini and removing adfree nothing changes
then my stab in the dark was lame and i gots nuthin...good luck
thanks anyway

Flashplayer is installed and works correctly
Ok, I solved this by myself: the problem was and host file previously modified by the pre-rooted rom. I restored the file manually and everything is working. Just an AdBlock matter.
Thank you all!
I've been having the same problem with my S3 from day 1. Even had the handset replaced to no sucess. It works fine on wifi but whenever i go onto mobile data i get question marks everywhere. Going metal looking for a solution!

[Q] A couple of questions and issues with my One X

Hello Everyone
I recently installed Android Revolution HD 15 after using Team Venom's Viper ROM for a while. Venom is an amazing ROM, but I decided to try out something new since I am a fan of constantly changing ROMs and trying new things.
1) For some reason Google+ keeps saying "Cannot connect to server" and of course Talk doesn't work either. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google+, clearing data and cache, but nothing seems to work. I have also tried both on Wi-Fi and network to no avail.
2) I noticed there's some small indicator in my notification bar which I don't know came from where. It looks like a red battery indicator or something but I have checked almost all the applications that could be related to it but they aren't. This is it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3) I do not know why, but the phone does not give me the option to "charge only" or "mount as SD storage". I have tried looking in the settings but there's no "Connect to PC" application like there was in the Viper ROM. When I tap into "Storage" there are options on the bottom under the title USB Storage but they say "unavailable" and there's one called Mount as USB storage but it's greyed out and you cannot really tap or interact with it.
4) There are no quick settings in the drawer any more like there used to be in Viper, and I have tried Control Panel and Widgetsoid but they just aren't as good or at least don't provide me with the exact same thing. Is there anyway to perhaps take the drawer from Venom and apply it to ARHD?
You're probably thinking "why wouldn't he just go back to Viper if he's such a fan?" well.. I can tell you that from my short experience with ARHD, it is much, much faster and more stable than Viper. Viper seemed to lag quite a bit for me, especially after running the stock ICS ROM for a while, the difference is very clear.
If you have any ideas or advice, please let me know. My HBOOT is now 1.31.. it was 1.28 but I had to update it in order to install ARHD 15 instead of 9, which is the latest ICS one.
Thank you, mate, and have a good day.

[Mi10T Pro] App selection stopped working. I am looking for help

Hello
This is my first post so please be understanding.
I have been using the phone from the beginning as a regular user. I haven't made any modifications or changes to it (like root change etc.)
Recently, the official update of MIUI to version 13.0.8 appeared and after that the application selection stopped working. I had no problems with the phone before.
For example: An attempt to open a pdf file brought up a window with a list of various applications that handled the file. The same thing happened with other files or URLs. I have several browsers, so depending on what I wanted to open the Internet address with, I indicated the right choice.
Now the window shows up, but trying to tap the three dots immediately brings up a random app, each time a different one, no additional window pops up. No list of any apps expands.
I thought that maybe the problem will solve itself after resetting the phone. I set everything up again, did not restore any backups. Unfortunately, the problem is the same. I don't have any default settings.
What can be done? The problem is very irritating. I have no idea.
Apart from this problem, everything else works fine.
I will appreciate any help or suggestions

Hello, I suffered from the same bug for a long time until I found the culprit.
You just have to uninstal updates of the Xiaomi Mi Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mi.globalbrowser). Sadly it can't be easily uninstalled. Maybe it can be done with ADB, but I have not tried yet. Remember to disable automatic updates from the PlayStore to avoid it to update. This will cause the bug again.
I also suffer other bugs like an ugly and forced dark mode when the battery is below 40%. I was always tempted to install a custom ROM, but the stock camera features (manual focus, lens distortion correction, 108 MPX, zoom...) are important for me.
Thanks for the help. This solved part of the problem. Now I have a choice when opening files but still no choice when opening URLs.
Maybe someone else?
