new to rooting and flashing roms. there is onw problem I am having. When I flash a rom gps suddenly goes out the window, none of the indicators pop up in the notification bar, maps and navigation have a problem finding my location, and most of the time my phone doesn't know where I am. Now if I unroot back to stock everything goes back to normal which is weird to me but what I would like to ask the community is that, What can I do to fix this issue? Do I need to flash a fix or is there nothing I can do?
I'm sure you've already done this but you did go in to your location settings menu and checked the ones that apply? I haven't heard of this and it must not be a hardware issue if it works fine on stock..
that's what I thought... honestly I haven't tried all the roms (mostly just the stock roms) but I have flashed at least four, all with the same results. I would just keep it stock so I have a fully working phone but the only unrooted flash I know of is on the Unlockr site which will unroot it back to 2.1 and I don't know if I can live that far in the past
The other weird thing is in locations there is an option for location on and E911 . The E911 is checked on and it says that E911 cannot be checked off on any mobile device. Ask the other times it gives me an option. I am currently running Magnolia Final's latest version

when I flash through hboot should I wipe as if I'm flashing another rom? I flashed a 2.2 ruu before the OTA went out and I ended up bootlooping and everything forced closed on me. I think that's what made me root in the first place.
where do i go to get it
Having the same issue my GPS has not worked for like the past 6 months if anyone has found a fix to the problem. I'm running lous #8 the new evo radio .04.08

I rooted my buddies EVO for him which also installed S-OFF. He's been complaining about his device freezing with the Sprintlovers ROM. I haven't actually looked to see what's the issue but he's coming today to have it fixed. I just want to install a 100% stock rom, maybe with root access available so I can fix him up fast. His is a newer white one with HBOOT 2.02, not the latest 2.10 (I think).
Can someone here kindly point me in the right direct to a 100% stock EVO Sense ROM?
Try joeykrims stock rom.

Well...your first mistake was not making a nandroid back up of your stock rom..that would solve this problem quick. As with anything "computer" related always make a back up before changing everything

While this is good advice, it's not really a useful post to respond to this question about. I'm researching the same type of issue for someone and this response has only been useful as an annoyance.
u do a clean install? if so try toggle signature..that worked for me before

Couple things,
If you install the official OTA update, you will lose root, and will not be able to get it back. Its not currently rootable, and AFAIK, people are having trouble even downgrading from the official Gingerbread OTA in order to root. So bottom line, official GB OTA is a bad idea if you want root.
Second, the official GB update is posted in the Development section, so you don't need to mess with going back to stock in order to get the OTA, if you still want to install the official GB update.
Third, there is a pre-rooted version of the GB update, also in the Development section. So THAT is probably what you really want.
Forth, the RUU you are trying to install is not the stock T-Mobile ROM. Its a stock Desire Z ROM (with Sense). Again, you will lose root if you flash an official ROM, but this one (1.34) is actually rootable. You should still be able to install it anyway, so I'm not sure what the issue is. You're trying to run the RUU from your computer, right? Its not one you flash from ROM Manager.

Greetings, I have this dilemma. My friend has the Epic 4g which was running froyo 2.2.1 I believe. It also had one click root 2.5 installed but still running on the stock firmware. She asked me to unroot it so she could update to froyo 2.3.5.
She backed up all her information using titanium backup. After updating to 2.3.5 she attempted to restore all of her data but titanium backup said it needed to be rooted in order to restorethe data. I attempted to install the latest one click root but I keep getting this message about adb not working and to try again. I apologize I do not have the device in front of me to tell you exactly what was said. I will attempt to install it later on today. I just seeking advice on any other methods to install one click root?
I'm not for sure the one click root works with 2.3.5 to be honest with u but search the forum for the newest clockworkmod. Should be 5 something and its legit for it... anyone else to chime in and correct me go for it

One click roots do not work on Gingerbread. It would have been easier to flash a GB prerooted ROM while still on Froyo like this one:

Now that she did the OTA you will need to follow this:

Well it looks like my phone is g2g. I updated cwm, the modem, and applied that GPS fix. All the bugs I had with froyo appear to be gone and my phone is working like I think it should have when I first bought it. But I guess that's what you get for going with bleeding edge hardware. Now Ill just what for that cyanogenmod to leave the alpha stages and research some of the other roms. (Or pretend that ICS comes out for the epic haha).
I wonder if sprint will release another update to fix the GPS and any other bugs that are floating around...

No, because the average Epic user on the street thinks their phone works great. I know several. Only us extreme users notice the bugs.

Other than MikRunny's 3.5 ROM I can't get my phone to stop rebooting immediately after booting up. I was running sense 4a and after I turned my phone off once to reboot it, that was the last time. I have a back up of sense 4a so if I can fix this random reboot I can get back to where I left off. So can someone please help me?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA
Judging by a couple other posts I've seen by you, you're coming down from the latest VZW RUU that just recently got a proper way to s-off.
If this is the case it's a known issue with the 'downgrade' that sense roms give random reboots at the lockscreen. There are several threads both here and at rootzwiki talking about the issue.
Using a non-sense rom seems to be the only way on these phones at the moment. Perhaps in the future someone will figure it out but since it's an older phone they may not put in the effort.

But MikRunny's ROM is Sense? So how is that possible? And I've ran sense 4a but after I turn my phone off once, with either sense 4a or mikrunny, it reboots immediately at lockscreen. Someone told me to let it keep rebooting and eventually it start working in minutes, but I've let it sit and reboot like 20min and it still didn't work.
another ROM
I suggest trying Inc 2 HD... it's awesome.
But for your current problem, I guess you know to just hold the down volume key when you reboot into recovery?
It could very well be an issues because you have the latest firmware 6.****. All the current sense rom's are for 5.***. I'm just guessing, but maybe try flashing aero's cm9 and see if you get the same reboot. However you will need to flash the most current version of CWM. What version do you have?

Yes mikrunny is sense. As I said, sense roms are having issues with the new firmware.
You'll have to boot into recovery and flash a non sense rom (CM7, CM9, AOKP...).
I would first start by flashing the stock latest RUU..
Looks like a possibe fix

How do I do that sir? and Would this possibly allow me to flash a sense ROM? If not then I'll just flash a non - sense ROM since that'll work on my firmware appariently.

There's a couple ruu threads out there, find the 5.10, call it pg32img.zip, and flash bootloader style like a radio.

How do I verify it? And can I download it with my phone, use root explorer to rename and move to root of as, boot into bootloader and then flash it? And will this surely fix the prollem?
Sent from my vivow using XDA
Jayydude there is a lot of warnings about your version of software and downgrading right now. However to answer your question on verifying the MD5 sum if you go to the zip file in root explorer and then longpress the zip file choose properties and it will calculate your MD5 sums. Then verify they are the same as what the download posted. If not download again. The MD5 sums will be on the very bottom. It will calculate it for you. I also have a program on my computer at home that will verify it for you but I am at work now so dont remember what it is called. But root explorer will work fine I use it all the time to verify. Also I am sure you have seen it but make sure not to flash the RUU from China you will loose data and not be able to get it back.

sorry i meant logcat
why dont you fully return to stock/remove s-off and try doing a htcdev unlock instead.
Edit: I dont think you can go back to stock. The newest RUU has not been released
I installed CyanogenMod and I forgot to fix the GPS before flashing CM. All the posts I've read say that I need to flash back to a stock ROM to adjust the settings. I've looked for a stock ROM but there are so many choices and I'm not sure I'd choose the right one. Could anyone link me to a .zip file that I can flash and adjust my GPS settings? Thanks for your help.

An RUU will reset the partitions though, which might be needed. Going from sense to aosp can cause some strange issues if you don't make sure all your phones functions are on in settings before flashing over. But.......flashing any sense rom "should" allow you to go back and turn on your gps and calibrate it, if not RUU it up.
