Develop Bugs

Too many things messed up :( I want to start all over

Okay guys my Tilt 90 degrees detection is super slow
my 4g won't work (tries to scan forever) (I'm using CM but on 4gworking roms it doesn't work)
My GPS takes forever to lock on (known issue with new CM nightly)
My phone will not USB charge / transfer (I can use dropbox for file transfers I guess -_-) [never learned adb]
I want to reset to brand new and get my GPS and 4G working and forget CM and get a nice ROM maybe VaelROM or Fresh or Something.
Anybody help me out please? I have EVO with CM6 and Clockwork recovery

Do you have ROM manager?

wouldnt loading a shipped rom reset everything?
and isnt there a wipe for tilt?

When I could not connect to my computer I used one off the PCIMG files from the rooting process to reset everything back to stock.
Takes alittle bit off time

Yes I have the purchased ROM manager.

I don't get it - why not just flash a new rom that doesn't have those issues? Why go back to stock?

Because it doesn't fix it, or atleast 4G doesn't get fixed.
I'll try flashing a new ROM tommarow. In the mean-time i'll flash stock rom just incase it does fix it might as well. Then I'll flash Fresh Vael or something good.

Tips
Have you flashed the latest Wimax radios?
Have you used your purchase Rom Manager to flash Amon Recovery... because that will give you all kinds of options to reset your phone and wipe everything (including the tilt sensor or whatever its called).
If all else fails and if you have insurance, go wake-boarding and take video with your EVO while jumping the wake and maybe by accident your phone will fall into the water.
Just some thoughts.

i would like to do this too. My adb is acting up, i can't remount saying its not found and /or do not have permission. I want to go back to my stock froyo unrooted and go though the long rooting process by downgrading and using unrevoked 3 with unrevoked forever method.I found methods of doing so, but they are for hboot 0/76 and i have hboot 0.93.0000, so that's no help. Any help with this will be great. I have such a headache trying to find a solid way to do this.

How come I get a Boot Loop... (SPRINT LOVERS ROM Question)

So I've been using Warm Z TwoPointTwo Rom for the past couple of weeks. Yesterday, I felt like switching Roms and so I decided to switch to Sprint Lovers Rom. Anyway, I did everything to install it (Go to recovery, clear data/cache/davlink) and then installed from zip. It booted up fine and everything. Then, I installed AdFree and did that install host files (something like that) and it told me to reboot for something, and so I did.
When I reboot... the screen stayed on the (HTC Evo 4G) AKA Boot Loop. I when through everything again (clearing and installing) and it, once again, started up fine. I noticed I didn't have a backup for my phone numbers so I restored back to Warm Z to back up my numbers, then tried going back to Sprint Lovers... once again it was boot loop.
I went to Google looking for an answer and the only thing I could find was that it will boot loop if you're on a Verizon PRL? Is that my problem? Because I'm on a Verizon PRL? Also for the Sprint Lovers Rom, I used the "standalonerom" not the one with the HBoot, PRL, WiiMax, etc. because I didn't want to lose my PRL and because I can't use the ##775# thing on Sprint Lovers Rom.
Can someone help me? Sorry for the long read.

Yes, that is a possibility. If you need to change PRLs to make it stop the looping, would you do so? Also, could you not re-perform the steps you took to get Verizon's PRL after you've taken care of the bootlooping issue? I keep reading where people have wiped the cache, dalvik and data when changing roms. Depending on how your device is set up, you may need to wipe more than that. Personally, I wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card itself using amon RA recovery. Try doing that and then see if you still have the looping issue.

Well I would but the EPST won't let me change PRLs. Could i just flash a prl?

What rom did you use "prior to" Warm Z? Did you acquire the Verizon PRL while using Warm Z or prior to using Warm Z?

Again, how long did you wait for the HTC screen to clear. Did you appear to hang at the HTC screen or did your phone keep looping back to the HTC screen?

Why did you opt for the standalone version? Do you already have the updated baseband, PRI, NV & WiMax stuff? Did you happen to flash a custom kernel?

Sprint drops to 1x on any new ROM

I am updating my wife's EVO. Any new rom I install drops signal to 1x. This happens on any new ROM I flash. I have done all I can think of to prevent this - update radio, wimax, PRL, NV, update profile after flash...I know this in an installation issue and not a rom issue. But since I run a SGS2 I am not on the EVO thread very often.
Yes I am rooted with S-off. I can flash multiple rom's - they all just drop into 1x (even with Airave 5 feet away and my SGS2 next to the evo getting full bars in 3g)
what am I missing??? any help would be greatly appreciated - if you could drop a PM so I can read (I'm on the SGS2 thread) that would be a huge help...Thanks guys!

I think its not the roms but your signal is actually 1x, have you tried looking at the signal in a different location
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

yes, in multiple locations. If I nandroid my "good" custom rom I am at 3g, my SGS2 is at 3g, as soon as I flash another costom rom on the EVO - 1x????

yep, just verified for the 3rd time...nandroid restored my original custom rom and it's on 3g (on the EVO)
damn this is frustrating

Hey trying running the latest RUU on your evo, and then flash a new rom, thats strange because it should be showing up, make sure your radios you are using are compatiable with the roms to! And it might just be a sprint issue because my phone *evo* and my dads phone *evo* as well can be right beside eachother and get different stats for some reason :/ grr sprint!
I hope you figure it out and if I helped please hit the thanks!
Stevo

lol, trying that right now.
was actually doing that as you were typing...what do they say about great minds??

Lol were you really, thats to funny!
Aye they think alike!
Let me know how it turns out when you get the evo back together again man,
I know running the RUU fixed a lot of small issues my evo had, and I hope it does the same for you
Stevo

arggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg...updated recovery to aman ra, flashed stock....no root(3g but no root). reflashing stock with root, going back to CWM, and recovering my last good nandroid....this all started because the kids were messing with the wife's phone.

Hey,
You dont need to do all that man just reflash superuser and you should have your root again if not just rerun revolutionary, if you restore your last nandroid it will bring those bugs back with you.
I am glad you got your 3g back though, and your issue should be fixed after flashing super user.
Yeah I personally like CWM better a lot of people dont.
and I have 5 sibblings, and they know how to screw up tech with out even knowing how to use it..
Kids amaze me some times lol
Stevo

damn this evo is kicking my ass.
hboot
reinstalled my original PC36.img with root
rom manager
new recovery
nand my last good custom rom
so back to where i started. old custom rom, but at least i have 3g
Stevo, thanks for your help.
this is the part that is frustrating....i have 3g, wipe dalvik/cache/data flash new custom rom from CWM = no 3g

Hey,
Yeah the evo can sure give the headache sometimes, but with enough time *and asprin* anything is possible!
Aye, aight well at least you have 3g back.
Your welcome man just trying to help another xda brother out.
Yeah I really dont know what is causing that, um what rom are you trying to flash and is it sense or AOSP?
and are you still able to connect to data and use the web and what not?

not asop, old custom was nocturnals shooter, trying to upgrade to his latest release.
hboot
updated to old pc36.img
got stock rooted (old stock im sure)
rom manager
updated recovery to CWM
nadroid restore old nocturnal shooter (3g,wifi,4g, GPS all solid)
reboot and let it settle
CWM
wipe dalvik,cache,data
flash latest nocturnal
let it settle
update profile and PRL
no 3g, just 1x - and this happens on every rom...so I know this is something on my part but can't quite figure it out....oh well, wife's phone is up and working good enough for her.

not sure if I need an updated PC36.img (which i am assuming is recovery)

Yeah, I really dont know that is baffling me, I wonder why it isnt working. Um are you able to still connect to internet? & what if you try using a rom like clean rom or just something that is stock sense that is cleaned up a little? "I wish I could send you the rom I am putting together but it still needs a few things worked out"
Is she alright using the shooter rom with all the stuff working? Because it might be easier just to stick with that old working nandroid you know?
and if she the wife is happy life is good the woman is always right!
Stevo

If your loading a sense rom, you should try reprovisioning your phone after flashing, dial ##data# you need to enter your msl code, go to data profile, hit menu and select restore. the phone should reboot, it'll go through the hands free activation then check prl. Cancel that, let the rom load, then update your profile and prl. See if that does the trick.
I had the same thing happen to me on my wifes evo after loading mikg did that and 3g came back no issues

kernel?
I've been finding that the kernel is as unique as the ROM as far as the phone is concerned, and if you have the wrong combo goofy stuff starts happening... I've had a kernel recently knock out my dialer!!!??? several wipes and flashes root explorer apks etc later found the right kernel wiped flashed then wiped again reboot and boom no problem everything works.

[Q] Can't call out or in...may need stock Rom

Hey all.
I need some help!
I have a rooted Evo 4G, running MIK G Rom and today, out of the blue. I could not make any calls. Busy signal. I called a sprint guy and he said to wipe and reflash.
It worked, where I could use my phone (after I disabled google voice)
To make a long story short, I took it to Sprint. Something got screwed up where I tried to reflash and now I can't call my phone or call out. The error is that the number is no longer in service.
Sprint guys said that everything was cool from sprint standpoint..network etc and that I should reflash to a stock Rom
Is there a Rom out there that I can flash and NOT lose my Root? This is a last ditch effort. They ordered me a new phone, but won't be here for several days.
Bottom line..I want to try a stock Rom. Is there one out there that I won't lose root? I can always redo my Amon RA if I have too.
Thanks SO MUCH!
Mike

Yes there are plenty of stock rooted Roms you can flash, just take a look in the evo development section.

Thanks
Firstly, I did several wipes and flashed two different ROMS. Can't use the phone or get a call. 4G works but not 3G?
I realize that there are lots of Stock Roms but I don't know which to use. ie. Does anyone have a suggestion of a good one that won't require me to re root, etc.
Thanks..just looking for a suggestion.

Try swagged out stock. Its a sense rom so you can update profile and prl when you get it flashed and also you can use dialer codes I believe in case you have to go that route

Thanks so much...could you please elaborate a little bit on the dialer codes?
Thanks

[Q] Flashed Rom now Sprint activation boot loop

i flashed synergy rom r14 after rooting the device initially and everything worked out fine, then kept getting the notification for the OTA for the 4.1.2 update...being that downloading OTA while rooted is a big no no (or always was before i came to the note) i decided to check synergy for updates to the rom and sure enough it was up to r47...so i downloaded and flashed and everything went smooth but after boot up it goes through the whole hand free activation and after saying the device is activated and then going through the PRL update and that checking out, it is supposed to do the soft reset and boot up and be good to go...well on second boot up it tries to activate the phone again (again saying Activation check and PRL update check) resulting in a boot loop that never stops....where did i go wrong...every phone ive had (touch pro 2, evo, evo 3d, nexus s) has always been a pretty straight forward root/flash process...so far this one seems to be a pain....any help?

Well clearly the problem wasn't worth the rooting process because you were able to flash Synergy w/o a problem. Hopefully you have a nandroid of stock rooted. I would pull the battery and try to restore your backup. Don't forget that for this phone Recovery access is via 3 buttons: power, home and volume (I forgot if it's up or down)

its up (down goes into odin) and sadly my stupidity and eagerness led me to not have a nandroid (yes feel free to leave the backlash, i deserve it), my question is...could it possibly be i a need to flash a different kernel? another idea i had was possibly calling sprint and seeing if the could walk me through the activation process (ive had them activate rooted phones before) i cant ever find the right button sequence (ie ##xxxxxx to get into the different menus) on the web

##72786# is the code you can use in a stock based rom with stock dialer that configures the data. It establishes a connection and then runs through that whole cycle you described in the OP. I'm kinda intoxicated so IDK if I answered your question or not

So right now you are unable to get a data connection on any rom you try? If that is the case you will probably want to look in the DEVELOPMENT section for a totally stock rom that you can ODIN.
