I have an EVO 4g running 4.24.651.1 Rooted and the past couple days I have had a weird thing happen to my Lock screen. It wasn't recognizing my 4 digit PIN. I had to downgrade back to 2.2 and flash 2.3 again. This seems to be happening around midnight. I use it for work and get my emails through exchange, so I need some security.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't understand your problem. You can use your phone and the PIN code works fine until midnight? But it works again at another time?
It stopped recognizing my PIN to unlock it. I first tried flashing 2.3 first but it kept all my settings, so I had to downgrade back to 2.2. Then I flashed 2.3 again and set a new PIN to unlock the home screen. It worked fine all day, then around midnight, I tried to unlock it and it didn't recognize my PIN again.
So you're locked out of your phone right now? Which ROMs are you flashing to and from anyways?
Did you wipe data when you flashed?
I'm currently running [ROM][STOCK] 4.24.651.1 DeOdexed which I got from here and flashed from a rooted stock froyo 2.2. I've had 4.24.651.1 running on my evo since 6/23 without any issues.
Since 6/23, I also ran theses extras:

Monday night is when it didn't recognize my PIN.
I'm not currently locked. I didn't set a PIN for the Home screen just in case this happens again. I did wipe it and using Titanium Backup Root to restore my settings and apps.

I'm running the 7/27 froyo leak with launcher pro. This morning there were several updates on the marketplace, one being launcherpro. I let market place update all and the phone was fine. I rebooted the phone later and since then I am having a serious issue. 1 minute into the phone being on from the unlock screen the phone stops responding to input. The home, menu, back, search buttons will vibrate, then another minute later everything stops working and the screens goes dim.
I have already restored to a previous nandroid backup from 5 days ago that worked fine yet it STILL locks up!!!! I have to pull the battery to reboot the phone
Should I install my original nandroid backup with 2.1 and stock htc sense? Is that compatible with the 2.0x radio update?
Well, back to stock 2.1 HTC sense. Geez I miss 2.2....
Phone is still messed up grr
Power button doesnt turn screen bak on after it turns off, camera and google sky maps dont work, no data coverage etc. WTF?
You try wiping?
I did a full wipe and installed skyraider 8/1 leak latest version (2.5.2). Everything seemed great I was in the account setup and it locked up again (about 1 minute into it). I can't believe this. I think the phone is hosed, I've tried several different roms 2.1/2.2 including my original sense 2.1 backups and it locks up on all of them. Thankfully I'm within 30 days of owning it. Now I'm worried how I can restore it back to factory appearance in hopes I can get a replacement... Even my original 2.1 sense backup has a modified bootup animation.
If anybody has a backup of the stock 2.1 sense rom I'd be very grateful for it!
So get this, I remove my 8GB SD card and now it is running fine..... Pfff.
Gonna format the SD and reinstall skyraider *crosses fingers*

thats not recommended at all, but u can download the RUU that was shipped with the phone and install.
Sharing nandroids is bad, mmmmmk? RUU is def. the way to go.
I have tried bot 08/2# roms, SkyRaider 2.5.2, and now the rom from the leaked RUU (and done via RUU) , but all require me to connected to my DINC to PC or AC power to temp. restore multitouch to my display.
Any suggestions???
Thanks
I would get a replacement then, everyones that i have rooted have worked flawlessly. call 611 and state you need a warranty replacement due to int power
WRONG FORUM. But reinstall your stock os and take it to Verizon for replacement.
Sorry. Thanks, I will restore 2.1 update 1 non-rooted and contact Verizon. It is strange that every time I go back to 2.1 rooted or non-rotted I don't have the touchscreen problems.
wrong forum.
Did the 2.29.405.2 update OTA initially and noticed problems. So reinstalled it from SD card but no help.
Bought sim free, unbranded/locked and never rooted:
Cannot dial out from phone lists or contacts. Going to phone and clicking on an entry in the call list does not launch phone call any more. Going to contacts, opening one and clicking on an available phone number does not launch phone any more.
The only way I can make a call is to punch it in on the keypad! Grrr.
Wifi connects to my home base after a reboot but, after an undetermined amount of time it drops the connection and cannot get it again. Going to Wifi settings shows it scans, connects and tries to obtain IP address. After a short time it gives up, turns wifi off and starts over. Again & again.
Cannot get it to connect again without another reboot.
This is a crippling loss of functionality for me. Can anyone suggest a way to roll back this update so my phone works as id did?
Many thanks all,
M1
First try a hard rest(you will lose all personal data on the phone,pictures and other stuff on the SD will be fine). If that does not work try either the 2.29.405.2 or 2.10.405.2 RUU.
More info - to my horror, around 15 minutes after I had tried and failed to make calls from contacts the phone started making them one after the other as if they were stuck in a spool or something! Ouch - any thoughts?
Backup everything you can and flash the same ruu from shipped roms.

Thanks to all for help on this. Decided worth a trouble shoot before a hard reset and culprit seems to have been an app - extended controls widget. Removed this and all seems well again.
Try this one. This definately works! i have used it.

I was stuck at 2.29 update.
Then i used this guide and windows tool.
So i did this process and it rolled my phone back to stock android 2.1 rom 1.X
The first version that the phone was bought with.
This tool will boot the phone into bootloader and load a stock 1.x rom ota off the sd card as the tool will extract it to sd card and then load it.
This will wipe all your data not sure about the sd card as i dont remember any of that because i formatted my sd card after i had used the tool.
Thats because i had rooted my phone and tried custom sense hd rom.
The only reason i had was of the battery usage as the consumption was very badly increased and that the 2.29 rom was unstable.
PS: I did first try the htc service in Denmark. They couldn't help me and said i was stuck with the 2.29 rom update. :/
After my phone got rolled/flashed back to stock android 2.1.
The next day in the morning i could upgrade again to android 2.2 rom ver. 2.10 OTA from htc servers.
Maybe this works for you as i did for me and others.
Turns out it wasn't the app.
After a couple of days playing ok my sim free stock htc desire is unstable again.
Cut me off mid call - went to phone and clicked on last call entry - absolutely nothing happened, repeated with same problem. Exited phone to home screen then opened contacts and tried to make call from there - same behavior, a complete hang.
No web access either so opened wifi manager to find it hanging on "obtaining IP address" from my home network and continually shutting down and restarting wifi automatically at this stage.
Noticed general UI lag and several apps failing to open too.
Left phone alone and again, around 10 minutes later all of the actions - including trying to make the phone calls started running one after the other. Like everything had been caught in a spool or something. After this all seemed OK until it happened all over again later.
Although the UI seemed OK and some apps worked as expected, the only way to get phone and wifi working whilst it was hung was a warm boot.
Dreading a hard reset as it's going to waste another day or two getting everything reconfigured just so (can't find a back up solution that does everything - multiple mail account settings etc) but looks like only option.
Will try going back to mikep99's suggested rom as soon as I have time and will not be responding to an HTC OTA auto update offer again.
Grrr.
I still suspect an app conflict.
Can anyone recommend a util that might give me a clue which app / sys process could be hogging system / radio resources?
just got another OTA update pushed to me. installed (nothing to loose) and Congratulations my phone has been updated to 2.29.405.5.
Not sure whats going on here as that was the update I got 2 days ago. This time round it was only 4.8mb download so I'm assuming it's an update update. Hope it fixes things .....
Hi All, I come begging for help after exhausting all of my options and searches for similar issues.
I have a CDMA Galaxy Nexus Stock 4.0.2 but rooted (I installed CWM).
I woke up to my phone stuck in the boot loading screen; it just kept looping over and over. I shut off the phone restarted it and the phone was practically unuseable, it ran very very slow. Now I haven't done anything recently or installed any apps. The only app I installed was a modified MMS app (one of the Inverted Black ones), but that was 2 weeks ago and everything was running fine since then. (However since I'm not on a deodexed Rom, I knew there could be issues).
Well I of course switched back to the stock MMS app that I had manually backed up and that did not help. Now my phone would load, it would get to my homescreen, but it would then say something along, "service is not working, wait, close, or ok?" I'd hit wait and within 2 minutes my phone would automatically reboot and then go into a a sort-of bootloop (it would just show the boot.img and loop).
I then tried to restore two Nandroid back-ups (which were basically bone stock and made months ago) and both worked, except it would say secure.img not found or something like that. I was still able to boot up and use these back ups, but then within 5 minutes I would get the same error and then the phone would reboot.
After retrying them I decided to to just go bone stock and wipe and do a factory reset. This worked and everything seemed fine until I went to turn on wi-fi.
I would wait for wi-fi to turn on and eventually it would just quit and then reboot the phone. I did this 3 times in a row to confirm that it was indeed wi-fi causing these rebooting issues.
Now here's the thing, right now my phone is working as I have purposely tried not to touch the wi-fi (I need to use my phone) . Data, voice, mms/sms all work. But I literally have no idea why wi-fi would be causing my OS to go crazy?
My last resort is to flash the stock toro.img but I was hoping you guys could help me before I get to that point.
As of right now even though I did a data wipe/factory restore my phone is still rooted (rooted apps all work) and my bootloader is still unlocked. (I renamed the secure.bootloader file as per the instructions when using fastboot to load CWM).
Please help me troubleshoot this, Thanks guys.
I don't know if you have tried but maybe try flashing a rom after a data wipe

I'm thinking about doing this as well since I will probably have to flash back to stock. I just want to make sure I can get back to stock since I am still covered by warranty and insurance (assuming they do not check to see if my phone has an unlocked bootloader).

Well you can always relock the bootloader. I doubt you will have to go back to stock though
I successfully unlocked, s-offed, rooted my phone. When i put android revolution hd on it the wifi and maybe cell didn't work or something like that.
Anyway I have since updated to 4.4.4 and my phone has been very slow at times and sometimes will actually freeze up for a few minutes till I reset my phone.
Does anybody have any advice? Should I flash stock stuff on to potentially clean anything off? I haven't re-rooted the device since the update removed that.
Thank you for your time.
