Tried to flash a new kernal and it just booted to the bootloader screen. I noticed it kept saying the PC36100.img wasnt found when the popup comes up when u switch to bootloader from the first screen.
went into ra recovery wiped cache an data again tried reboot and same deal. went and flashed the old kernal back and reboot, same deal. went to load a nandroid backup and it says there is none... weird cz ive made them... so i make another to see if its not working, but it creates one. i was going to restore an img that i made as a backup with clockwork, but yea that doesnt work in ra i guess... so i pull my sd card to check it and put a new rom on to get running again at least and now i put my bat back in and the phone wont power on... plugged in the power cable and the led blinks.. what does this mean?
ok just killed my phone bat... im a rtard. but yea it sux now i need to re rom after a melt down!!
Ah ok so I'm up and running after a little scare. I found that using "kernel manager" is a bad idea... but I also learned that with a quick cache and dalvik wipe I was able to install myn warm z right over the rls5 I was using and all is well. Everything updated to the new stuff and kept everything else just the way I left it

Thanks for the update. That's good information to know.
Every once in rare awhile, yesterday morning, for example, I boot up and it sits n the while screen. A simple cache and Dalvik Cache clear fixes it. Weird that it eve nhappens.....

Kernel Manager works great.....just make sure you have the "Clear Cache" and "Clear Dalvik" boxes checked in settings before flashing your kernel. I've never had any problems at all with it. Glad you got your phone up & running.
Kernal manager looked good to me.. but I will hold off on using it for the moment. I did the clear on dalvik and cache through kernalmanager and I ended up with that boot issue. It is probably a good app, and I didn't mean to bash it, I just don't think I'll be messing with it any time soon due to what happened in my case...
I have been playing with my phone today and noticed 2 things so far that could be due to not clearing data. 1) When I open the Gallery app, it doesn't show my pics and vids just a blank white screen with the border at the bottom. I can however go to insert an attachment and when I choose Gallery it shows all of my pics and vids and such.
2) My clock app is completely gone. So no alarm, stopwatch, etc..
Are these gapps downloadable and installable like when u run the cm roms? maybe a reinstall of these two will fix it? I'm gunna go ahead and try a titanium restore of them, if they were backed up. see what happens..
Kernel manager is great, but it does have a serious bug that causes exactly what this guy describes. What happens is kernel manager fails to repack the boot.img after extracting it in order to replace the zimage (the actual kernel file) without a repacked boot.img there really is no boot.img for your phone to see and there for it loads you into the bootloader in order to flash a new boot.img. By booting into recovery and manually flashing a new kernel or flashing your current rom over the top of what you already have on (ie no wipe) you can usually correct this problem with ease.
sounds about right ^^
the flashing of a new kernal did nothing for the boot.img tho. I was assuming it had to do with the boot.img and was going to try to paste in one from a backup, but it was late so I took the easy and less informative way out..
well there are a couple issues I'm seeing with this overlapped rom flash of warm z on top of rls5, so i think im gunna do a data wipe. which means new rom possibility any ideers??
Running great so far but batt life is not so good. Also I get the txt when I get a voicemail which usually only happens on asop tons not sense... gotta figure this one out

ok new guy here..well not that new i used the how to that toast made then did the various AmonRA-sp updates all the way up to fresh 3.0
heres the problem (so far):
1.market opens then immediately closes, though this isnt a force close...?idk?
2. my contacts are there but they arent: people isnt working it force closes on me and i i cant recover any phone numbers through google or my sdcard backup.
well those are my problems, again im running the latest Fresh rom used Amon RA and did the apps2sd(the right way)
im really at a loss here fellas, i dont know what to do but im not gonna do anything until i can get some insight into this debacle.
thanks in advance
easy answer.... do it all again
or
dont use fresh
use Evio 1.1 or 1.2
i have tried most of the popular roms and this is by far the best, including the best battery life, stability, compatability, etc.
screw the havs and crap.. i tried those and got the worst battery life EVER from those. 6 hours tops... Evio i can go 2-3 times that, true... i get far farrr better battery life out of a pseudo stock rom than i do all the custom "stuff"
just flash with another rom... fresh is unique in itself and doesnt always play nice with certain other add-on's (from what i have read)
that is why in other threads you see custom builds for people using "fresh roms"
why mess with something that is so unique it requires its own builds for certain things.
so do i have to do apps2sd again
Just wipe your cache and davlick cache
have you tried wiping your cache & dalvik-cache and flashing gapps?
no not yet....gapps? where can i find that...forgive me i dont use forums ever lol
okay tried wiping both caches....same results.
how do i flash gapps? i searched the forums and all i get is the Fresh 3.xxx thread titled GApps and no source on the file itself.
OP of CM6. Just flash from recovery. You shouldn't need to wipe anything. But if you're gonna, just cache and dalvik.

Hey guys,
so i was on a plane yestarday and obviously they want you to turn your phone off. I did so and when i landed i tried turning it back on but only to my surprise it would. Was just stuck at the White HTC screen and just kept resetting and doing the same.
Luckily I was able to get into the bootloader and reflash the rom and backup, however, its a pain in the butt to have to do so every time my phone shuts off or I have to shut it off.
Havent tried another custom rom yet, will do so shortly, but just wondering why this is happening? Any advice?
What rom were you on? And make sure to install with a clean install.
i was using calkulins evio rom.
and yes, i did a full factory wipe with cache and dalvik as well....is there all required for a clean install?

You pretty much want to wipe everything but the sd card. So cache, data, dalvik, boot, and system. Then flash your rom and boot it up.

I have this same problem with calks rom. Maybe try a different kernel?

Fyi, if you used cwm to do the wipe, this is probably where you failed. Cwm fails to wipe dalvik most times. I have had weird issues on sense roms specially when using cwm. I changed to ra and no wipe problems since.
How do I know this? After so called full wipes using cwm and installing evio most or all of my apps and settings would still be there.
I have confirmed this with many others that have used both recoveries. Ra is nicer anyway.
Real men don't need rom manager anyway.

I just don't understand why koush dosen't fix this and be done with it. I love that program... I use titanium backups dalvik cleaner anywho just saying that all
I'm having this sort of issue as well. I have wiped many times, gone back to stock, unrooted, even updated the hboot version. Has anyone figured out what exactly may cause this sort of boot loop? Sometimes, my phone just randomly reboots (even on stock default) and gets stuck in a boot loop.
Keeping the battery out for about 5 minutes allows it to boot back up, but I'm getting rather frustrated with it. I can't seem to pinpoint an exact issue. sometimes, it seems my battery is rather warm to the touch, sometimes, it's nice and cool. I've tried sense roms, non-sense, GB, and as I said earlier, stock RUU. Nothing I've done stops the reboots. I took it to the sprint store, and they saw nothing wrong with it. (Of course, it didn't reboot for them. Figures, eh?) I even got 2 alternate batteries. (One was the super big extended life)
Has anyone else had this same issue? I'm at a loss of where to go from here. I've poured over these forums, and the development forums for days. I never had this issue before...it's only started happening in the last week and a half. Keep thinking I must have missed something, but I'm not sure what.
I just rooted my phone, which I am new to, and am using the warm 2.2 ROM. Suddenly today my power button quit working. Phone will not go to sleep or come out of sleep mode and must pull battery to get screen to come on. Changed time out to never turn screen off so I can see whats happening, but it is very annoying. Any suggestions.
First thing would be to start over fresh and wipe EVERYTHING. You can even wipe 2-3 times. Sounds like you have some leftovers remnants if not wiping properly (Wow that just sounds nasty) Which recovery are you using?

+1.....I agree with jayharper08. RLS-5 is one stable rom and I have been a fan since RLS-3. Myn & crew does exceptional work. Go into recovery and wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu except the SD card itself. Afterwards, flash the rom. Do not flash any mods or kernels just yet. After you've booted into your homescreen, make sure everything works as it should. After that, reboot into recovery and make a nandroid backup.
sounds like a hardware problem...
does it work to select stuff in the recovery menu?
if it does, it's a software problem, most likely remnants of the stock software; if it doesn't, it's most likely physically broken
Ok here is a strange thing I can't wrap my head around. I have been rooting and flashing for quite awhile, but have a problem I cant solve....I have a EVO hardware 2 about a year old that has been rooted and running MIUI fine for several months. I recently have been playing with kernels and undervolting. I noticed some random reboots and tried resetting voltages back to normal and flashing diffrent kernels back, but still it locks on bootup or reboots. So I RUU flashed back to stock and everything worked fine, boots good no reboots and temp around 34 deg. nice and stable. Figured all was good re-rooted and boom back to not booting again. I have tried old nand backups that were stable but they do the same thing. Is there some trick to doing a full wipe that I an missing? Also just to mention I recently had problems with the GPS locking on and add the new driver to try and fix it...
Thanks for any ideas....
PS new info...I put a blank card with just the new miui flash on it and reflashed.....it seems to fix the problem...there must be some settings on the card that conrols the cpu settings....will test further and report...may help someone else...
What recovery are ya running?...sounds like its not wiping corectly.....if yur using CWM I would recommend AMON....ALSO.....SUPERWIPE is the way to go....wipes system,data, and boot twice when u flash it....I'm lying in bed and my PC is shut down....u can just google SUPERWIPE ....and for AMON just head over to his thread for his PC36IMG.....BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YUR RECOVERY ISNT WIPING PROPERLY......would hurt to try em

If you have Amon Ra, you really don't need those "super wipe" things.
Just wipe all twice and then do cache and dalvik again, separately, and you'll be fine.
Even that's over kill....

hi everyone. ok here's my problem, yesterday i installed acs ics 5.5 rom, then i nandroid restored the ei22 deodexed stock just to test the nandroid restore, just to see if it worked for me. i then again flashed back to the ics 5.5 rom, and this morning i nandroid back to ei22 again, because i wasn't happy of the non - 4g function.
anyways, later on today i decided to go into "my files" and delete 3 of the 4 nandroid backups that i had. because i believe the 3 that i deleted were bad. well after i did that, i started getting apps force closes, and now i can't open gtalk or my text message app.
if i do a factory reset, should that fix the problem? before i turn to odin and perform the whole process all over again?
NOTE - everytime i did the restores and flashes, i did do a pre-rom wipe with acs recovery.

Someeone just posted a similiar issue they associated with the8ir sd card.
They said after nand bkp they had fc's and no apps on sd showed. Wiping cache and dalvik would be pre factory default wipe imho.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes, a Factory data reset will clear the FCs. But you will lose 3rd party apps and anything you have set up will have to be set up again. If you have a nandroid you can trust you can do an advanced restore data to get those things back.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
so does that mean that i have to go into recovery and repartition the sd card?
update - heres what it says on bootup - UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

None of that will touch your sd card. And you don't need to. The errors are in phone memory.

Glad u got it up and thanks for the update.

yes i did. i did a factory reset and wiped the cache partition and dalvik cache, and still nothing. somehow after i deleted the 3 nandroid backups, things got messed up. i kept getting errors of framework and gapps process issues. i don't know what could have caused it, but it wasn't pretty. at least i was able to get it fixed with odin.
question regarding this type of issue though, if i would have checked marked re-partion along with the reboot, what would happen? cuz i was really tempted to do so, but i didn't, given the fact that i didn't know exactly what would happen.
If you check repartition you need to include the PIT file which is the map of the partition for our phone. That will put your phones partition back to what it was when new.
ok, and where can i find the pit file? sorry again for the dumb question, but this is the part that is very new to me.

No problem, we are here to help. The PIT file should be packaged with Odin so when you unpacked it into a directory it should be there. Victoryxxxxx.PIT
ohh yea, i have that file. so that's what that file is for. ever since i got odin and started using it, i've bee wondering what that file was for. ok, so, in what type of circumstances can i use that file? like what happened to my phone yesterday? or what?
just so i have an idea of when i should use it.
When in doubt you can always use the PIT and repartition. F.reset resets all the clocks in the phone so there is no need to fear if you accidentally leave that checked.
I'm having the same issues here. Once I flash a rom, after a week or two I get this FCs but I notice this usually happens when I swap batteries or restart my phone. Once I flash a new rom or same rom everything works just fine until I have to swap or restart my phone.
What's causing this? Mine friend epic is having the same issue and he is getting tired of the phone to the point of putting it for sale. Is there a way to fix this?

You are not shutting down correctly causing bad data writes to your phone. Turn power off, after the vibration make sure keyboard lights are off before you pull battery. Also make sure you have journaling enabled.

I have used marcusant and sleeper rom at the moment, and they usually shut downs completely with the screen, but yes I make sure the light on the kb are shut. I don't know much about journaling, I guess I have to read about it.

Then it is strange that swapping batteries would cause any kind of data corruption. I believe those ROMs have journaling on by default. FCs are usually easy to fix. Most times it is a Google Services Framework error. This can be fixed using Titanium Backup and scrolling to Google Framework Services, select it and choose wipe data. Do that for any other app that FCs as well.
