4way reboot? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can this be added to the stock rom?? Or does the kernal need to support it or something? I am rooted, so there's no need to ask. I have flashed back to a stock rom that was released awhile ago by fastludah. I don't like CM6 as the unknown number issue is annoying and CM7 is giving me download problems which no one seems to answer me in the nightly thread..

Unknown number? Settings, phone, advanced..add number there

anyone else with rom manager problems?

Has anyone else noticed that certain roms on rom manager wont show?
ezample, I click on the download rom, then click on Fresh-its says error processing rom list,,, i tried damagecontrol and bugless beast and it is just blank???
I always liked rom manager on my droid incredible but on the my new evo4g it seems buggy with roms. has me thinking about using another method, any suggestions that wont give problems and are as easy to use?
thanks
I've had that same problem. I did a reboot, uninstalled and reinstalled, cleared data, but still nothing.
I'm running CM6.

ROM manager is broken. I even flashed from CM6 to Fresh's latest and the same issue.

yeah its messed up, any know any good alternatives? rom manager is easy to use but no good right now and dont want to have problems when flashing new roms
Hopefully the dev didn't abandon it. I have the paid version.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I believe the dev has a certain way the mirrors, etc for each ROM has to be posted so it can be parsed by ROM Manager. I'm not sure if the devs are doing this.
I also paid for the full app and some do work and update (like CM6 nightlies and fresh) - so it makes me think the devs aren't posting their roms to his server..
There was a post about how to add it around the dev forum somewhere

(Q) gps problem need help

What radio are you on - latest or the .9 or .7, and, are you using the kernel in Lou's ROM, or something other? If a different (non-stock) kernel, maybe try the stock one found in the Virtuous section or ROM manager. Radio is self-explanatory - there's a fine radio thread here on XDA.
Please post results/issues in the fix so others may benefit from your experience.
I would try something like Virtuous ROM and see if it works okay. His ROM is rock solid.

Agree w/ ejdavis' guidance - also check which version of the radio you are running.
The Virtuous ROM uses the stock kernel too.

Look for and follow the very good Radio thread here on XDA - following it as directed should not brick your device. The only way to know whether this solves your problem, or eliminates the radio from the list of issue candidates, is to flash it.

Overclocking kernel

I'm not sure if anybody else asked this question, since I couldn't find similar topics on the slide forum, so here goes.
I just rooted my phone and flashed it with the "unofficial" release version of slide rom, since this is my first time rooting, and I tried to flash this: "dopio" OC cm-2.6.29.6, for my overclocking kernel. But when I do this, the phone refuse to start up, it gets stuck in the splash screen. If I don't flash it, then it works fine. Anybody knows why?
I didn't want to go with CyanogenMod 6.1.1 because I can't find the google addons and I don't want to jump right on to CM7 just yet (not sure if I can live without the sense widgets yet, lol). But if CY7 RC2 has most, if not all, of the functionality of the slide sense rom I'm currently using (like wifi hotspot, or maybe a built-in oc kernel) then I might as well flash that.
Thanks and sorry if this has been answered
.29 kernels are not compatible with the newer roms, you must either use the built in kernel or miguels smartass kernel (.32 kernels) (some1 would have to pm you that kernel because it was removed)

Which gapps did you flash, it should be the universal 0120 or 0115 gapps.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
I knew I had the 307, but looks like I got the 120 with no problem even though it gave me an error message... I'll give the 120 a shot, since 307 didn't give me Market at all.
edit: ok, the 120 works for cm7, so I'll give cm7 a spin again. cm6 still doesn't have market with gapp 120.
If you like sense then flash the gratious slide rom on the mytouch slide forum. If not that then wait for the gingerbread sense rom that is about to be released. If you flash the gratious sense rom, then don't flash a overclock kernel over it because it already has it with the rom.

yea, i'm having trouble finding miguel's kernel.
i've been having on and off success with the kernel found in CM6. Can someone PM me the kernel? Looked everywhere, but couldn't find it.
The gingerbread 0115 and 0120 gapps won't work on cm6 I don't think, you need the 1220 or whatever ones there were from december for froyo, and there's a 307? Jesus, how often do they even have to be updated, all it is is the market apk and the gapps installer apk
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
Ahhh, no wonder. Well, I guess I'll have to revert back to CM7 RC1 if I don't want to deal with Market problems then. When I tried to download the gapp that came with CM6, it gives me 404 error, so that's no good unless somebody can pm me the froyo gapp.

Was the 404 from the cyanogenmod latestversion wiki page? Those links should work. Huh. I don't have a copy of the froyo gapps. What market issues are you having with rc2? My rc2 is working fine, maybe I can help.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
was having trouble downloading/installing apps from market, then somebody told me to uninstall the update on market and that did the job. the only strange thing is GPS signal seems to be really weak comparing to before rooting, i used to be able to get my location in my dorm before rooting, not anymore tho tried reflashing the newest radio and all that stuff already, but i guess i can wait till the stable version comes out.
edit: o.o the download link for cm6 gapp is good again, but i think i'll stick with cm7 for now, it works better for me.
GPS has had some issues with cm7, it's well documented. Be thankful it works at all, a lot of people still have broken wifi and gps

Losing all the Baseband and Modem settings after flashing an AOSP ROM.

Good evening everyone. I recently got this phone from the Black Friday deal at Best Buy for 80$ and rooted and did all of that without much problem. I installed the Wicked ROM without any issues, and tested it out but I prefer AOSP. But when I flash Cyanogen or Bliss, I lose all of the mobile data , the baseband, here I include a screenshot. I have flashed a stock ROM once again, activated it again without any problem, but when I try to flash an AOSP ROM again I lose everything. Is there anything I can do about that? I have searched the forums and Google and found no solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you check to make sure that the md5 matched? Anytime I've had that happen either the md5 didn't match, or I needed to use a different kernel. My Goto kernel for AOSP ROMs has been BMS.

Thanks for the tip, tried flashing Cyanogenmod with that kernel and the same thing happens, I lose all of the settings related to the Baseband, Modem and IMEI. I checked the md5 and it matches completely. I have no idea what is happening. For now I settled into the Conquest Singulalirty ROM which provides an ASJOP look but on offical firmware. But still I would like to know how to solve this problem so if anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated.
Is your phone the L710T model by any chance? I had the same problem with every rom I tried EXCEPT for Gummy 3.0. For some reason Gummy 3.0 recognizes my baseband/modem but if I try Gummy 4.0 or any other AOSP rom, no baseband.

Flash the file here: http://androidforums.com/threads/mo...apn-fix-wip-cm-aosp-4-4-x.840298/#post6516416
It will modify necessary files in the system to allow you to connect. Also, dial ##72786# to reactivate after flashing. That all worked for me on my Virgin S3 running Carbon. Good luck!
The SPH-L710T is what was on sale at BestBuy for $80 (as I found out after running into a similar problem), and it's a pain in the ass. It seems that TW ROMs are the only ones that don't break the radio... and the M10 snapshot of CM11 apparently (except rotation is backwards). I'm looking for a fix as well.
It seems that all of this can be fixed by a custom kernel, but there's no AOSP/CM kernel (that I know of) that fixes both.
I wish I knew something about kernel development...

That is exactly the one that I have, the 80$ Best Buy from Black Friday. Yeah, I tried what metalhead131 said and it did not work. Hmmm, M10 snapshot worked for you? I will try it out them to see how it goes. In what way did it break the rotation? It does not rotate or is it inaccurate? It is a pain in the ass that we have so many ROMS available but we can't use them. I have been using the Conquest Singularity by Moon Knight. The one that is here in XDA is kinda of outdated but if you Google it you will find his blog with the latest update. He created an AOSP looking ROM but it is TW underneath. That combined with Gravity Box has satisfied me for now, but I hate no being able to flash AOSP ROMS. I know nothing about kernel development, but if someone wants to help with this I can provide anything they need in order to fix this problem with this T version of the phone.
I will try to take the kernel of the M10 and flash it with another ROM to see if the rotation works. I will update as soon as I do that.

Yeah, the radio worked with the M10 snapshot. I was able to get the latest version of ParanoidAndroid to work with the M10 snapshot kernel as well.
When I say rotation is broken I mean when you hold it sideways, it rotates the wrong way, so it's upside down.

Excellent. Thanks for the good news! That doesn't bother me that much, so I will do that with the Bliss ROM that I wanted to install. I will keep investigating and trying things to see if we can fix the rotation issue. I will keep the thread updated.
Semi-Fix for the rotation issue on the M10 kernel.
After checking some apps out, I found one that worked well for the rotation problem using AOSP ROMS on the troublesome SPH-L710T. The app is called Adaptive Rotation Lock and is available for free on the Play Store. What it does is that a little button pops up everytime you rotate your phone, and if you don't click that button the screen will not rotate. So once you put your phone horizontallly, click on the button that pops up to allow the phone to rotate upside-down, then rotate the phone so it is not upside-down anymore, but do not click the button, so it stays in the correct rotation. It is a little cumbersome, but it beats always being upside down while using the phone horizontally! I think this is a good option while we find out how to fix this issue in the kernel.

Greeting kdude63. Thanks to your tips I was able to test many roms and as you settled on Paranoid Android. The only problem I have right now is that intermittently point I lose cell coverage for like 2 minutes, but then I get it back. Does that happen on your phone?
I have also tried many kernels to see if I find another one that works but no go. I am still using the M10 boot.img. Have you found another one that works?
And thanks for helping out with the ODIN tar for this phone! It makes me feel a lot more safe when I am experimenting.

I don't currently use PA or CM as my daily driver, so I don't know. (I don't like dealing with the rotation issues)
I was testing some other kernels earlier, none of them worked before I got careless and accidentally flashed an i9300 kernel, so I can't use my phone for the time being.

Yep, I flashed it normally. Using Philz I got the Wicked 8 zip file and a couple of the addons that are available without any problems but since I don't like the Touchwiz UI too much I am currently running Conquest. Maybe try the full Wicked 8 zip? I did not try the barebones, but I can confirm that Wicked 8 works on the T model. It has the rotation issue but a couple of post ago I described how to get around that. Let me know if it works!

I'm glad! At least we can use Touchwiz based ROMs while we can find a way to create a kernel that is completely compatible with the T model. Is your rotation working correctly?

Yes rotation is working and with the next few updates on CM side they will be fully working on the T model cause CM already updated a fix for the T model
I got spooked when the baseband disappeared and rotation was not working. Went back to stock. Of course you also seem to need the special 2.7 twrp in order to mount system. But the price was right.
