[Q] cant seem to get my phone to boot, synergy godmode. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

well i cant post in the development of the section yet being i only have 3 posts so ill post here, ive done everything from using ra 2.3 wiped everything right down to the sd card installed all the latest radios ect. but yet still every flashing it i still cant get it to go past the white evo 3g screen any ideas would be great thanks =D

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196015

yeah i looked there first nothing seemed to solve it i think ill just go back to regular synergy intill a new update comes out that fixes the lock up. it must depend on the different hardware in the evo new to old type deal. but thanks =)

I was thinking the same thing. My brother got the evo 4g when it came out and he got it installed with no problem. I got it like 8 months ago.

yah i got mine like 5 months ago and i donno why but it just wont work for me, but yet the original synergy will flash with no problems what so ever.

I tried to install afew times and got stuck in boot loop

look for MikG ROM its almost the same and it installed with out a problem

Yeah i was working on it all last night and into the morning and got no where not a big fan of quitting on it but theres nothing else i can do that i know of hopefully a fix gets posted or an update soon so i can try out this godmode thats gotten alot of great and hate comments on it.

I had couldn't get it to boot on mine either, ended up using rc2 without god mode. It loaded right up and so far its working smooth

I can't seem to get it to flash either. It gets to the end and I get an error and the install aborts. Something with the boot image

time to go to sprint?? constant reboots?

Well ive been having serious issues with my evo, i swore it was the kernels i been using, but now its constant, ive restored a nandroid, flashed different roms and kernels, and same thing happens, phone boots, but as soon as it gets to home screen it reboots, ive done it all, wiped data, reflashed, u name it, it has to be something physically wrong with the phone.
what should i do from here?
should i flash the newest stock rooted 3.30 OR should i just use the stock unrooted one for when i go into the store?
there was a thread started about this. a lot of people are experiencing it, i would imagine its software related.

I was having the same issues. I unrooted and took it in to Sprint. They gave me their only refurb on hand as a replacement.
It was a pretty easy process of proving that it would happen any time.

Pretty common problem. Do what the last poster did.
Same thing just started happening to me. I thought it was the 2.3.4 nightlies, but maybe not... Has anyone came up with a different solution? FYI, I found when I can't get it it boot, putting it in the freezer for a while works. Seriously.

[Q] constant restarts and bootloops

ive had my phone since august, rooted nand the whole works a week after i got it. everything was fine until about a week ago, now the phone randomly restarts, 3-5x a day and sometimes will get stuck in a bootloop. this always most definitely happens when im playing games, for more than 10 minutes if that. also when im trying to flash a enw rom, when it tries to boot up and get to the setup page it will restart almost as if its over working on starting up and then burning out. its sometimes warm to the touch, if i put my phone in the refrigerator for 10 min. i can get through flashing a rom, any ideas?
bump please help

I'd update everything you can, and try a different kernel :\. I think your phone may just be VERY picky with kernels. A friend of mine has a phone that ONLY likes one of the older HTC kernels. Anything else gives him reboots constantly. Hope that helps

ive done all of that, and now i notice massive battery drain ever since i updated wimax and radio, so iw ent back to an older kernal so i could flash myns rom rsl4 or w/e and the ophone is restaryting every time i try to set restrictions in afirewall, half the time i text it restarts, it gets warmer to the touch. i dont even try running games now. its bull****, i need to go back to stock evo rom and unroot and bring it in for some new ****.
my phone does that too on almost all kernels. so does that mean my phone is bad? should i get it replaced?

I also have this issue. It seems to happen with heavy usage when the battery starts to warm up. I have been on Damage Control, Fresh, Virus, MikFroyo....It doesn't matter what I run. I am just living with it for now. Kinda afraid to make it stock and get a new one. I had a friend root mine so I am not sure if I could do it myself. Just never tried. Anyways ....know what you are going through.

[Q] randomly muted

ok, i am really hoping someone can help me out here. so ever since froyo came out i have been having weird call problems, i will be on a phone call and randomly it will mute me. the mute button won't be activated and the only way to fix the problem is to toggle the speakerphone on/off. now i have tried several roms (syndicate, bonsai, ace) and they all have the same problem. i recently tried ace and it worked fine for a couple of days and then suddenly it did it this morning. i have also swapped out my phone and it still does it!
some people suggested playing with the voodoo sound options and none seemed to work.
if anyone has had this issue or knows of things i could try i would appreciate it extremely. this problem is driving me insane (along with all my friends who it constantly happens to while on the phone with me.)
thanks!

This use to happen to me back on the DK28 build even DI18 I think but haven't seen it since official EB13 and even on EC05 now. That's weird. Did it start all of a sudden or has it been an ongoing problem? When did you get your phone? Oh wow you said it's a new one? Refurbished? WHen you got your new phone did you restore a backup from your old phone or start fresh?

i started fresh, except for a couple apps i restored settings for. but i didn't restore any system stuff. this happened right after froyo update for me. at first i thought it was a voodoo thin, but ive tried genocide with the updated voodoo, plus how can i be the only one having this problem. it makes no sense to me.
i guess i could try stock, but i mean i really don't want to run stock....ugh.
---oh new phone was straight from sprint about a week ago.
This is happening to me as well. I'm stock rooted froyo with all stock apps still in place. Very annoying. I never had this issue before the froyo update.
Anyone know of a fix for this yet?
I'm about to take a B.F.H. and "fix" the phone. My epic is doing this on every call I recieve or make.
Anyone have any ideas? I can't deal with this much longer. Really want to smash the phone. Guess I'll unroot and take it into bb or sprint...

[Q] Updated Radio, Now Android OS is Draining Battery BAD

Ok guys, here's the thing. First My Phone Specs:
Android 2.2 Baseband 2.15.00.05.02 Kernel 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e
Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1 Software 3.29.651.5 PRI 2.15_003 PRL 01115
Previous PRI was 1.70 don't remember the rest Sorry
I updated last night to the Radio that comes out on the NEW 2.3 update. The only reason I updated it, was because both my siblings Evos (stock unrooted 2.3 update) have better reception than mine, and I actually have NO signal at my sisters house, yet hers is Perfect. I updated the radio off of ROM manager (a first) only because other evo owners said it was a good update.
Since then, I unplugged the phone at 7am, went to school, played music for like 13 mins, sat in class (low/bad signal - Nothing New always like that), and by 9:40am I had 50% battery. NO USAGE AT ALL. Main consumption was Android OS which didn't even exist in the battery info page prior to the update (I had and still have Android system, and both appear there) at 40% of the battery usage, then the normal ones.
Phone was dead by 11:50am
Although the signal is poor, Mon-Wed same schedule, class, and usage (NONE), I had 89-85% at 9:40am.
I click on Android OS, and I get NO information at all. It was never there before, and now I have Android OS consuming all the battery, and the Normal Android System at about 10-13% normal.
The weird thing is, it's 2h33m17s since unplugged, and Android OS is at 2h11m12s 31% Data sent 11.43 KB Data Received 903.75 KB and my battery is already at 53%. At this rate I'll have to charge it 3 times today, with NO USAGE. Android System is only at 13m.
I have restarted it several times, didn't work.
What do you guys suggest?
If I were to do the OTA Update would that fix it, if it has something to do with the radio update I did?
I know there isn't a root for 2.3 yet, but I'd rather wait with a phone that's actually usable.
I know the update removes Root access and Roms and all, BUT doesn't it also overwrite any Flashed Radios?
Sorry for the Long Post, but I just wanted to explain as much as I could to help you guys Help Me.
Thanks in advance for the Help Guys
Have you checked running services/apps that may be hogging alot of resources such as CPU and/or data? I am rooted so i dont have all those damn services running on CM7 but when i wasnt rooted, I would always end the BS that didnt need to run. Always left background data off unless i went to the market and auto sync always off too. If you dont have anything that appears to be hogging resources, just backup your apps with titanium backup and factory restore. I've have had a few problems that the factory restore just took care of. And doesnt take that long really. 15 mins tops and everything was back to normal. Just make sure you know your gmail account. Almost forgot mine the first time. lol Let us know

I did check it, but it was all the normal things like Tasker, Lookout, and some normal one.
The weird thing is, why did it all of a sudden happen after the flashed radios, and why did the Android OS all of a sudden appear out of nowhere?
I really thinking of just doing OTA update if I have to go the Factory reset way. I know it will kill my root, but Unrevoked should almost be out with a solution.
Just thought it was really weird how it happened after the radio combo flash. I would also just like to solve it and stay on my current ROM for now. Whatever solves it you know.
Why not just downgrade your radios?
Also I would flash the radios from recovery or get the PC36IMG.zip you can flash from your bootloader I don't trust ROM manager I use to use it but had nothing but problems also you should change recoverys to ra Amon 2.3 some PPL have problems with cwm I did and never looked back .

Oh also if your on the gb radios you should probably be on a gb ROM.

I had thought about that, but usually stay away from radios, since most problems arise from this. Hence THIS Post
I always used cwm, but have heard about certain problems which I haven't had luckily. I am on the older version though, which is recommended for radio flashes.

That was what I was really wondering. I thought it something to do with me being on Froyo instead of GB. Although the radio combos are out there, non of them said this, but it makes sense though.
My phone's almost dead again, and getting frustrated.
I'm really thinking about doing OTA, or maybe just trying Fresh's Beta ROM (GB) from the leak, then upgrading to the updated OTA one, once it is out.
What do you think about that?
Of course I would wipe everything before the ROM flash to avoid complications.
Thanks for your help
Go on xda or get the app there is already a rooted version of the ota if thats what your looking for there are way more ROMs on that site then on ROM manager .

I'm currently dl Ginger-AleV4 to try it out, I prefer Fresh because that's all I've had, and many ppl swear by it. If anything a temporary fix would be good until Fresh comes out with it.

Funny, I have the same issue. I'm rooted and was running Warm 2.2, upgraded to Synergy and was running great for 4-5 days on the nightly roms. 4G would connect then disconnect right away so I ran Calkulin's radio zip and upgraded all of them, 4G works!!! This was on Monday. Wednesday night phone was on my lap watching TV and it got real warm, I looked at it and I was at 15%, started at 63% when I sat down 25 minutes ago. I run Battery monitor pro and before I had this problem the mHa would sit around 100-200 depending on what was being done, not I can't get it below 400mHa. Even after I flashed the radios it was working fine for 2 days, then all of a sudden it's warm and my batter won't last, no other programs were installed.
I'm on mikg v1.03 and everything is working awesome for me.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I noticed the same battery draining issues. I think it was after the GB radio flash and not before.
I then checked some stuff and saw data in background running as well as Sync.
These were disabled before the flash but seemed to get enabled again.
Draining issue seems to have resolved itself. But I will keep an eye on it to make sure.

The battery is pretty good for a stock kernel I get about 9 hours of heavy use and everything is running smooth for me make sure you wipe everything and you should be good.
And no you don't need to flash a kernel it come with the right one its stock till they release the source code for it then the dev can give us some sbc, havs etc...

Just installed mikg v1.03 after a good wipe and it's still getting warm and draining fast. Only have Batter monitor pro installed and 2 hours after install it's using ~600ma. I'll let it sit over night and see how it does. If that doesn't work I'm gonna download the other radios and see what works best.
Any last recommendations before I unroot and flash back to stock? I tried all different radios last night with no success, I have never seen this before in on this phone and I have been flashing for over 8 months with it, I'm starting to think it's a hardware issue as it happend all of a sudden.

It's freaking Awesome man, looks Wise its WOW. Pretty Smooth, and Best of All, My Battery Problems are GONE. Yes, GONE.
I'll stick with this kernel, and No themes for now, the Sense is enough for my taste at the moment. Including the on off tv animation
Question though, I've been getting FCs on my Voicemail and some Google process (forgot to wirte it down). Do you know anything about that by any chance?

I've never used Amon RA, but I guess I'll finally have to do the switch.
Can I get the Alternate Recover Amon RA that is on ROM Manager?
I've never wiped Davlik or cache when Im not doing a wipe, does it have any
negatives to doing that since Im not doing anything else? (very noobish Q, I know)

Yes you can flash ra from ROM manager thats what I did I was just like you at one point dependent on rm but get the xda app and learn how to use it you will love this site.
And no wiping cache and dalvik cache won't hurt anything you can do this over and over with no problems and you would be surprised what that can fix also fixing permissions .
You will learn downloading ROMs from this site and flashing from ra recovery will give you better results just read the ROM install instruction and you will good to go.
I also have VR supper wipe zip. Thats what I flash before I install a new ROM and I never have any problems I'll try to find you a link if you want it .
If you ever need help PM me I'm not a dev but I'm on here allot and have flashed allot of ROMs and mods I try to give back to xda by helping PPL out .

I'm not sure what is going wrong with my phone for the last months, but the OTA that a 4.0.4. gets isn't sticking with my GNex. I didn't care, I was happy with 4.0.4. But now I got the hang of this flashing stuff I'm feeling a bit wild and I would like CM10 on my GNex. I was happy with CM on my Nexus S a while ago and it started to annoy me that I got this OTA message nagging me every time I rebooted the phone. So I installed CWM and its recovery boots when I choose recovery boot. Did a backup of my phone, since I was in the area, and thought, what the heck, why not, let's get this CM show on the road.
But then my head said to my heart, what in the lords name are you doing?! First ask the wise men if you're doin' it right! So, am I able to flash the stable CM10 rom without any problem or am I bricking the phone this way?
And will I lose all my data when I flash? When I flashed CleanRom on my TF300 it kept all apps and settings, so I was hoping that my settings/installs/data would survive a flash of my GNex with CM10...
Edit:
I just went full HD loco on its a-- and slapped it on. Worked like a charm, lots of data remained in the memory (if not all), but all settings and apps were lost. Now trying to put back the backup I made earlier, let's see how much of a back up this really is.
Edit2:
This really is a full backup. The thing went back exactly the same as it was! Pretty awesome if you ask me, but of course you all knew this already. Nevermind me, I was just passing through. Time to set up my phone for usage the coming year or so. Thank you for letting me use this as a notebook!
Edit3:
One big downer on this operation: I have to install every single app one by one again... A lot of work!
Nice, you went and done it yourself, and updated your first post as you were going through it. Thank you. Actually, I had seen you first edit it, and I waited a little bit longer to see what you would do. Now, any questions?

No questions really, just had fun doing something scary. I hope someone with the same question finds my thread and finds it useful. I know I will when I plan on getting frisky with my GNex the next time I want to flash something, because I keep forgetting the steps I took doing stuff like this.
Only thing that's really a turnoff is reinstalling every app again, because Google thinks it's a different device. Any workarounds for that perhaps? (Still found something to quest about!)
Edit: Damn this CM10 is one slick mf! I love CM10! Should have done this way earlier...
