[Q] savaged-zen giving me problems please help - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

at first when i flashed the rc4 off the website it got stuck on the white htc screen but now sometimes i can get it to flash fine other times it gets to the little monkey clouds go around and gets stuck but the only problem i have when i had it flashed good everything worked fine except when i tried to use market when id go to download a app it would start download then say installing at top and kinda reboot just to the monkey screen and come right back on any ideas would be very appreciated

Well there's your problem right there! You're using a rom that has "monkeys" on the boot screen..lol ok im kidding but did you use the format all zip before you flashed? Did you try to flash any kernels? Did you wipe dalvik cache? Try turning off data (put in airplane mode) and going in the market and cancel all those apps that are trying to download...

keeps on rebooting

My desire keeps on rebooting when trying to turn it on, going to recovery mode, or when im updating a lot of applications on the phone.
there are times that i can enter recovery, but it is very seldom that i can enter it.
im using amonra, when i was able to enter the recovery i tried to wipe everything. but the files are still there even if i wipe them. so i tried flashing a new rom to fish the problem. after flashing the new rom successfully it goes to the lock screen and then restarts again..
the problem started after flashing my rom to leedroid which was a month ago.
what can i do?..
hope my phone isnt bricked
Try this:
Do the "CLEAR STORAGE" option in the HBOOT menu.
Enter recovery
Wipe ALL userdata
Wipe dalvik-cache
Reflash LeeDrOid ROM
That is what I did when the same thing happened to me when I flashed my first ROM (which happens to be LeeDrOid lol).
Also, try following up with this thread.
this isn't my first time flashing.
i already tried doing clear storage and problem still exists.. keeps on rebooting and can't enter recovery.
did wipe all already.. still having same problem
just finished reformatting my sd card and reflashing a new rom.. still having same problem..

I didn't mean to offend you, I just listed the steps I took when it happened to me a while back, hoping that it would work with you.
You can un-root the device and return it to factory condition by using the official RUU, then start all over =/.
wasn't offended
yah, right now im downloading the RUU and trying to unroot.. hope it works *crosses fingers*
thanks for the help though.
No problem =).
cant run the original RUU. because i can't even go to the original screen. kept getting error saying check the cable etc..
is there any other way?.
update:
now i can't even go to recovery manager again..
tried to clear everything.. still same problem.. any ideas on how to fix this?..
any help would be very much appreciated..
thanks..
update again:
now my phone is going till the lock screen and then restarts...
update on what i am doing.
i letted my desire rest for a couple of minutes and then tried opening it again. i was able to go to the lock screen w/o restarting. but sometimes it still does
When i was able to go past the lock screen i runned the asia RUU to unroot my phone but i got an error at the end of the process. now what i do have is an HTC logo in the middle of the screen and four exclamation point inside a triangle on the corners.
any help guys?..

[Q] CM 7.0.3 cannot connect to wifi

hey guys, i've just flashed CyanogenMod 7.0.3 to my device and the wifi turns on, can see wifi networks and accepts my WEP password, however hangs at "Obtaining IP address...", eventually disconnecting and trying all over again.
I was previously running the 7.0 release with no problems and in my newb naivety i failed make a backup of the ROM.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: Now i cant boot into recovery. I just get the bootloader screen (i think? the white one with the skateboarding Androids at the bottom?) and selecting Recovery just sends me back there. This has now gone from an expected easy fix to something thats starting to get me worried. Can anyone help?
Do a full wipe and re-install the rom again, chances are something corrupted the 1st install which does happen apparently.Don't worry too much mate, over the past 2 weeks ive installed and re-installed about a dozen times and on a few occasions been in exactly the same spot your in.
thanks, but no can do. I cant boot into recovery and thus cant wipe and re-install...
Dumb question, you are holding down the volume(down) and power button at the same time to get into recovery mode??
Wow that's weird, try going into ROM Manager and flashing a different version of Recovery.
thanks for the responses guys. Yeah im doing the vol down + power to get to recovery. I cant get further than the white skateboarding Android screen. ROM manager doesnt let me flash new recovery versions because there aren't any.
You can flash a older recovery, scroll to the bottom when in RomManager and select All ClockworkMod Recoveries and try to flash something like 3.0.0.6

yeah when i do that i get "No legacy recoveries found"
EDIT: i turned on my mobile data and now i can choose older recoveries from ROM manager but i still cant boot there regardless of which one i choose
PS can a mod change the title of the thread cos i realize now my problem is more to do with booting into recovery rather than the wifi issues. Thanks
reading around it seems like i need to use fastboot to reflash the recovery.img from my computer. will try it tonight

[Q] Please Help

My friend tried to flash a rom to his EVO 4g, everything went smooth, installation was a success. However prior to rebooting, he know gets stuck in a blank screen after the evo 4g screen goes away. Anyone ever get this problem ? is there any way to start from scratch?
Reboot the phone into recovery ( pull battery if it's in a bootloop, then restart phone by holding vol-down and pressing the power button)...
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Reflash the ROM
Ps: what ROM is your friend trying to flash? Be sure it's a Rom developed for the evo (not calling you or your friend stupid...mistakes happen)
He was using salvage zin, I essential there watching like I prolly should have lol but he got impatient and downloaded the rom then went into recoverey wiped data and all the others and then flashed and then got stuck in a black screen and what do you know he's calling me saying I have a problem lol, I'm trying to drink not fix his phone man lol but now I feel bad, I'm a good listener if I'm giving instructions. I'm a nexus s user though so is new to evo by the way

Is there anyway to Odin back to stock ? Or perhaps himdell back?

If it's a black screen and then the phone boots, there's probably just something wrong the boot animation. If it won't boot then he might have a bad download.

[Q] HTC Desire HD boots but black screen afterwards

So I have a rooted HTC desire HD with Jellytime on it. All was working great till recently when it would shut down by itself. Today after I wanted to test a new boot screen from Rom toolkit I restarted it and while the boot screen worked great after it finished I see a black screen (backlit so I know its on). I tried going to the bootloader but after I try to go to wipe cache for example it restarts by itself and it gets stuck after the boot screen... Any ideas?
ok an update seems that if I go to the recovery via down button and power it lets me do actions. All this time I went to recovery mode when phone was shut down and plugged into a power source. I did a wipe cache and now it says android is upgrading and now it finished saying starting apps. Hope it didnt get stuck there because it keeps doin the cycle animation but doesn't do anything else.. I ll leave it be for a bit like this... :/ Had to restart it by removing the battery after 20 minutes... same problem as before still...
another update... just before it goes to a black screen when the boot screen finishes an orange light appears just briefly (where the green light appears when it charges)

I flashed the rom again and wiped data and all seem to be ok now. I ll update this because I saw many people have similar problems... thanks in advance for any help!
Have the same problem.
I bought this with the problem that it keeps rebooting all the time.
I unlock the bootloader with htcdev,root with Easy Ace Tool,flashed the new cyanogenmod 11,
but did the same .
At least 3-4 rebooting before open normally.
I said that it must be ROM issue and flashed the KK-LegacyCarbon-4.4.
Did the things should be...flash the ROM and then the boo.img separately.
Now i have black screen and the only screen i am able to get is bootloader and the recovery 4EXT.
I reflased cyanogenmod back but nothing happened,any thoughts???

[Q] Phone is going nuts!!! Help!! PLEASE!!!

Ok so, I have been running Hyperdrive RLS16 for quite sometime now with no issues, going on approx 6 months now. Love the rom. Just today out of nowhere my phone started timing out. By timing out I mean, screen started going black as if I was closing it when I was in the middle of using it. This proceeded to happen for at least 15 minutes meanwhile it was constantly rebooting itself as well. After about 15 mins of reboots and screen timeouts, it got to where the phone would not stay on. it would boot up, then when i started using it it would reboot again. So after a battery pull, sd card pull and sim card pull I restarted it and since it seems to be doing ok for the moment. I immediately backed up my rom in clockword mod recovery through rom manager, backed up all my apps and created an update.zip in titanium backup. I downloaded the stockmod slim rom t999 4.3 v3 and the uvuemj4 modem that it requires for data and was gunna try and flash it and everytime i boot into recovery and try to select an option to pick, it randomly starts selecting things and jumping all over the place and then reboots. wont let me wipe data factory reset, or wipe dalvick or cache. wont even let me choose the rom or modem to flash. I tried to update my version of clockwork mod, and nothing. Tried to download goo manager and try twrp but it wont go into twrp it stays in clockwork mod and does the same. Im so confused on what to do to fix this and would like to flash a new rom to see if it will fix my screen timeouts and reboots but I cant get recovery to cooperate in order to do that. Can anyone help me? PLEASE!!!! I thought maybe if i try clockwork mod touch that it may fix the problem, but even if i download it how can i flash it if recovery isint cooperating?:crying::crying::crying:

It sounds like there would be a problem with your digitizer. Or motherboard. Either way it sounds expensive to fix.

The touch response is working fine though, and the buttons work fine. But it randomly scrolls all over the place in recovery and selects things on its own even when Im just holding it in my hand pressing nothing. I have the regular clockwork mod recovery not the touch installed. I have to scroll with the volume buttons and select with the power button. But even when im not pressing either it just goes in ghost mode and starts selecting stuff. Its crazy!! Is there a problem with my version of recovery? 6.0.4.3

ok well thanks man for your help. Would the digitizer be causing the random reboots as well?

If it's malfunctioning is possible. But there's no telling.

Can you boot download mode? Odin flash stock firmware. If it continues then it may be a hardware problem.
i havent tried to do that. But i did do a factory reset from my settings instead of through recovery. I did lose quite a bit of stuff because it deleted my backups in titanium and etc but my recovery is working now. No more ghost mode selecting everything. But my phone is still doing the random reboots

Earlier I too felt this type of auto touch in my other device and I figured out that this was happening due to some radio interference at some particular time and particular place which was near a radio station
Whenever I go away or that station time was over it will be working correctly
May be something like this happening just for your information to make sure
