[Q] ggingerbread-6 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed this rom(I know it's beta) but today it just froze on me. I went to reboot to see if that would help and the phone got stuck on the HTC EVO 4G white screen, so I pulled the battery, hit the power button and nothing still. Just gets stuck on the same screen.
Now, I'm restoring using a backup.
I'd just like to know what happened. I was using it like normal, except I enabled 4G today.

sounds like a rare issue, if you can replicate it with the cm nightlies (being that gginggerbread is discontinued) I'm positive that they would love to see a logcat of it
I unfortunately dont have a fix or knowledge of one for that issue

I agree, wipe everything and flash the latest nightly and then immediately the latest Gapps

Why was it discontinued?

it merged with cm nightlies, they have 4g now

Thanks for all the info.
I've flashed the nightly cm7 and gapps and the gmail app is missing. I can't find it in the market either.
I should probably search the cm7 threads?

reboot your phone, gmail should reappear
you did flash the 20110120 gb gapps, or the one rom manager downloads for it?

I flashed the 20110120 gb gapps. The one in the link from the guy above.
EDIT: Rebooting didn't do the job.

did you flash over your gginggerbread install or start from scratch?

I'm thinking I flashed over?
I installed the latest version of Amon Ra's recovery, wiped everything, wiped cache then dalvik.
After that I flashed the rom.

Whenever you get stuck on white screen, boot into recovery and wipe dalvik and cache before rebooting. If that doesn't work, reboot into recovery wipe dalvik and cache and reflash rom. This usually works for me.

Do you use Titanium Backup? If so, open app list and look for "Market App Installer 1.0". Click on it and hit defrost. Now open up market. You should now be presented with list of GAPPS you want installed. See if you can click Gmail.

Try clearing data in Market menu>settings>applications>manage apps
If this doesn't work, you might have to do a complete wipe and reinstall.

Sh*t didn't work. I just a complete wipe before installing this from ggingerbread-6.
I was thinking maybe I should use Calkulin's format all?

help stuck with Cyanogen Skateboard Screen Over and Over

I was having trouble installing GAPPS in Cyanogenmod 7 stable and I then tried installing an older version. Now I'm stuck with the Cyanogen skateboard screen that then goes to the Google welcome to PC36100-Touch the Android to begin. With and without touching it it goes back to the skateboard screen and continues the rotation. Any help please?
Boot loop, how fun. Wipe and flash.
How do I wipe and flash? I can't get past the above described screens?
Go into recovery, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache reflash the rom, then the gapps. Reboot. If your still getting loops, your either flashing the wrong zips, didnt wipe rigjt, or your data is corrupted. Download it again.
Oops let me add make a nandroid backup cause all your data on the phone will be deleted. Use an app like my backup or titanium back up to save your apps if you want.
Thanks I'll give it a try.
When I flash a new rom I only flash one thing at a time. Ex. Nand backup ... wipe ... flash Rom ... reboot ... wipe cache/dalvik ... flash gapps ... reboot ... wipe cache/dalvik ... flash theme ... etc. I know it takes longer but for me it is worth it because if I get a problem like a boot loop I know which thing is causing it. May not be perfect, may not be right, but works well for me
I always flashed everything at once. Wipe data/cache/dalvik/ flash Cm/gapps then reboot. But yea that's good advice also if there is a problem, I never thought of that.
I haven't had any problems flashing the 7 Stable, but I'm finding it really hard to install the GAPPS. Any ideas or suggestions?
Make sure you have the most up-to-date Gapps

the contacts and your apps will redownload from the market when you log in to your google account assuming you had the backup checked in the settings.
Ok Great- Thanks for your help.
I did all that, and I still don't have GAPPS. And can't seem to add Google sync.

Just flashed CM7 Stable Rom Need help Read!

So i just flashed cm7 the stable version, first thing i do is turn on my wifi, but when it obtains the ip adress etc, it keeps rebooting and turning off rebooting, and just keeps doing that over and over again. any suggestions?? anyone?
Have you tried reflashing it on a clean install? You also flashed gapps with it?
yes, i even wiped alll that thing like dalvik and all that good stuff and flashed gapps right after. this started happening to me with rc3 rc4 and now stable cm7, works fine with cm2
Did you flash a kernel with it?
whats that?
cocoes4o8 said:
whats that?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well that's a no then. And the kernel is basically the heart of the phone operation. Different kernels do different things, but we can worry about that later.
Now I'd like you to backup your apps, then re-flash the rom completely, along with gapps.
If it is turning on Wifi only that causes the issue, it may be something with what is remembered in your wifi access points.
Delete your access point. Turn on Wifi and re-attach.
should i wipe dalvik cache also?
cocoes4o8 said:

Yes; you need to wipe factory/data, cache, and dalvik cache. The flash the rom, wipe cache and dalvik, then flash gapps, then reboot.
just finished doing all that
Any improvement?
WIFI Sleep policy set to NEVER?
thanks!! it works!!! ok i have one more problem, this has been happening to me since i flashed cm7 any cm7, i use email alot but it doesnt give the right time date etc, each and every email date is 12/31/1969

When you flashed, did you flash the gapps?
And facebook app has been giving people problems...I think the word was to go back to 1.52 [the previous version before latest update] and you should be good.
I don't have a facebook, so no help with that app, sorry.

You should always do a factory like reset before flashing a rom.
When I went to CM7 I did this.
Ran a Nandroid backup of Stock rom
Ran the GPS Fix for CM7 before going to CM7
Cleared Dalvik cache
Cleared Cache
Cleared Data
Flashed CM7
Flashed GApps
ReBooted
If you used TB to backup everything on your old rom then ONLY install the Apps NOT the data. Also I have noticed that a lot of people are just running a Restore everything from TB that may have something to do with it. I only installed third party apps like barcode scanner, Game Fly, PicSay, Directv. Do not restore anything that was a system app from your other rom.
And so far everything has been great.

[Q] Salvage Mod 1.2.1 won't boot.

I just tried flashing salvage mod and its gapps and it wouldn't boot either time. I also cleared all cache. Anyone know what I can do?
it is salvage mod 1.2.1.

What ROM were you on before you flashed Salvage Mod? If it was a sense rom, you need to perform a full wipe (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, boot, system) prior to flashing the new rom. When you said you cleared 'all cache', do you also mean you cleared dalvik cache as well? What recovery are you currently using? I'm on salvage 1.2.1 right now, and I've never had a problem booting it. When you say it won't boot, what does it do? Does it boot loop, or does it hang at the splash screen (white htc evo 4g screen)? The more info the better. I'd basically suggest doing a full wipe though, and try again.

Can you boot into the bootloader? Power off your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text should scroll across the screen and then you will see a few options. One of the options will be recovery. Anyway, at the top of the screen, you should see either S-ON or S-OFF. Hopefully, it displays S-OFF. Anyway, select recovery from the set of options and then, as k2buckley has instructed, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card itself. When you're done, do not reboot. Go to the flash menu and flash the rom you want to flash. Do not flash the gapps zip yet. Reboot after flashing the rom. I want to make sure you're able to boot into the homescreen. If you're successful, reboot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then flash the gapps.zip. afterwards, reboot. When you're all setup, go back I to recovery and make a nandroid backup.

also, make sure you got the full ROM, not just the patch for going from 1.2 to 1.2.1. I did that
I was having similar issues, mine went into a boot loop about twice before getting hung up at the initial setup with FCs. I was coming from CM7 Nightly 41 that was acting weird with FC's, I always double wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset. I thought that I might have had a bad download so I re-downloaded, wiped and flashed. I couldn't get past the initial setup so I went back to Ultimate Droid and have been running that for the last 4 days or so with out any major problems except for the Facebook update dicking things up and one random reboot that I had today... I really want to give Salvagemod a shot though since it's Evo-centric.
still not working for me
hey guys... i been trying to boot into salvage mod for the past 2 days... i get it to install just fine i do get the salvage screen up too...
then when the rom is supposed to be loaded up i get the Android dude with emergency call and a crash u keep pressing ok then it goes away and comes back right away... i just wiped everything again and reflashed it and now i am stuck with salvage screen re looping..
any help would be appreciated
thanks
The OP's problem was solved in a second thread by following the below instructions:
Download a fresh copy of both amon RA v2.3 (PC36IMG.zip) and Salvage-Mod 1.2.1 and place both on the root of your SD card. Make sure there is no other file named PC36IMG.zip. on the root of your card. If there is, put that particular file in a folder. Now shutdown your device. Boot into the bootloader screen. The bootloader will automatically detect the PC36IMG.zip file and prompt you to install. Follow the prompts to install. Installation should take less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot into your new recovery. Go to the wipe menu and wipe everything except the SD card. Do not reboot. Go to the flash menu and flash Salvage-Mod. This *should* work.

Problems with latest CM10 nightly

I just installed it and it works fine so far. Try another wipe and install. Or maybe your download is bad.

First time I installed it, it worked out fine but there was a few minor issues like camera won't upload pictures and videos to facebook, Unable to update status. I decided to flash it again but this time I wiped dalvik 3x cache and data 2x format system cache data 2x each. After doing that everything worked out fine.

Yes, I had the same problem. It seems to work sometimes, sometimes not. Just do the 3 types of wipes, and try again- it should work.
One hint: during the installation of the ROM when it says "unleashing the evil"- it should take a good 20 seconds (or so) to "unleash". On the installations that failed for me it said "unleashing the evil" and immediately finished installing- and then the boot after that failed too....

Thanks for all the info. This morning I tried the download again from ROM mgr. and it worked fine Didn't do anything different but it worked!! Also, when you say wipe 3 x's, how do you do this? I installed today from ROM mgr. and it pops up to wipe and I check all boxes. After install is complete it auto boots into new build. Should I go back to recovery and wipe again or?? Thanks again.
Since I used the recovery to wipe, I was taking about wiping the 1) user data (factory re set), 2) the cache, and 3) the dalvik cache. If you're using the ROM manager, I'm sure what you did was fine. Truth is, I don't think all of the 3 wipes I did are always necessary especially if you're just upgrading from a previous build... Good luck!

Thanks! Went ahead and booted into recovery and did the wipes again anyway. Seems to be working great.
I had that problem last night.
What I did was go into Clockwork and installed google apps. Then rebooted and it went through the setup without any problem.
Thanks Cyanogen & Crew
Just wanted to say thanks to all that works on CM 10. I'm running the 9-6-12 nightly on My mobile Beastly S3 & we are very close to stable! Thanks for all your hard work.

[Q] Help? I get this when flashing a new rom "Unfortunately setup wizard has stopped"

[Q] Help? I get this when flashing a new rom "Unfortunately setup wizard has stopped"
I have a Galaxy s3 and I have twrp installed. And so far I have tried flashing 4 or 5 different custom roms and every time I end up getting this message "Unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" and then some message about ".com.goolge gpapps has stopped".
I am flashing the rom's and gapps from trwp. And I get the success comment after both the rom and gapps flash. I then restart/reboot and the new rom's custom boot animation comes up, like with cm10 the blue clockwork logo spins, and then after 10 or 20 seconds I get the two error messages and thats its. And when I flashed liquid smooth, I got the Liquid Smooth boot animation.as well and the the two messages. I eventually get my phone tuned off and I get it booted back into twrp and restore my backup to my stock rooted setup which is what I currently have running and so far is the only thing I can get to boot up. I have tried cm10 nightlies from the past week and cm10 stable and liquidsmooth, and a couple others. I downloaded several from goo.manager but i most recently tried a cm nightly i downloaded directly from clockworks site.
Any Idea's. I have seen a couple other threads on other devices with a similar problem but most seemed to have the wrong gapps, and I am using the most current gapps, i even downloaded it from multiple sources to double check.
Does the fact my phone is android 4,1,1 and most these roms are 4.1.2 or newer matter? And if so what is the fix?

Ok what you have to try is this.
Boot into recovery and wipe system and data (removes settings so you will need to reset up everything) They wipe delvic cache and normal cache, then flash the rom and the proper gapps for the rom.

On the wipe screen in twrp there is a system option but for data it says format data? Do I need to wipe "system" and "format data"? or does the wipe system option take care of what i need to do? If I need to also select "format data" which do I do first ? format data or system wipe? will i need to wipe cache or dalvik as well, or will those be wiped in the system wipe? Sorry for all the ?'s I am a real noob at all of this.

On the wipe screen in twrp there is a system option but for data it says format data? Do I need to wipe "system" and "format data"? or does the wipe system option take care of what i need to do? If I need to also select "format data" which do I do first ? format data or system wipe? will i need to wipe cache or dalvik as well, or will those be wiped in the system wipe? Sorry for all the ?'s I am a real noob at all of this.

No wiping the system doesnt format the data partition. Wipe system then format the data and then wipe the caches and then flash the rom.

Sounds like your flashing the wrong version of gapps.

Most rom threads have a download link to the gapps that work with the version of android that specific rom is on. Look in the rom thread for the one you're currently running. There are different gapps for each android version (4, 4.1, 4.2)
I have that same problem too
I was trying to install new roms for my phone i tried liquid smooth and avatar and CM 10. I also tried install a new kernel and also different recoveries but nothing seems to work. I never "dirty" flashed and i use the right gapps. Someone please help me here i hate stock roms!
No matter what Gapps version I've tried I still get this same error. This occurred after trying out the Dark ROM modeled after CM11, but now no matter what ROM I try, this error still occurs. The only time I was ever able to get passed it was using a backup, but that has mysteriously gone AWOL. With that in mind, has anyone actually figured this out? Is there anyone with any USEFUL input? So far all I'm seeing is a bunch of suggestions that don't work.

Is your recovery updated to the latest version? Do the roms you are trying support the recovery you are using?

That's a good point. You should be on TWRP 2.7.0.0 that's the latest version of that recovery.

I use the latest CWM. I'm a creature of habit. The first Samsung I ever put a custom ROM on was done with CWM, so I stick with it. I finally got it to go, but it constantly froze, tried to reset, stuck with the same issue. Never used TWRP, so if someone could actually point me in the right direction, that'd actually be helpful.

I finally got it to go, though...it doesn't really look the way I remember it last it worked, but it's had the issue so long, I forget what it actually looked like before.

I have no idea how to use TWRP...it only lists a .img file and no instructions on how to use it. zip files can be used from the bootloader or recovery. WTF am I supposed to do with an .img file. And it can't be to use the terminal emulator because to do that I would have to be able to get passed the Setup Wizard...which is the issue.
I finally figured it out with CWM. Thankfully. The phone would've went flying otherwise.
If anyone else stumbles upon this thread (so they can find the answer for CWM also), you have to format the device from the CWM Recovery to get rid of the crap that is blocking it. I did the following:
Once in CWM Recovery, Remove your SD card to avoid formatting it by accident.
Use the Volume Key to scroll to "mounts and storage".
Format all existing options (this is why the SD needed to be removed); this will blank out the phone's system which was causing the Setup issue to begin with.
Put your SD card with the ROM to be installed back into the phone.
Follow the guide as normal after this (install ROM, then reboot, then KK_gapps, then wipe the two caches, then reboot.)
