MIUI - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason, no matter what I do, after I flash miui 1.9.9 on my EVO 4g, it gets stuck on the HTC EVO 4G screen, how do I get this to work?

What recovery are you using? Are you wiping completely? Cache, dalvik, data, system, boot, sd-ext, .android_secure?
Have you tried redownloading the rom or checking that the md5 matches?
If you answered yes to everything, you can always try a different version, like 1.9.2. If you are coming from 1.9.2 and don't normally wipe between builds of MIUI (assuming you only run MIUI like I do), it may be time to do a full wipe. I try to do one at least every 3-4 flashes. By that point I have so many apps I don't use that it does a lot of good to start fresh so I can weed out the useless apps. Plus MIUI can be picky. I've never personally had issues with it, but others have.

I'm coming from End of Days rom, but I flashed 1.9.2 they took 1.9.9 off the site I guess a bunch of people are having problems with it. But thank you

I have the same issue. I am using CWM 5.0.2.2 (I think) and I do a fresh wipe of everything before hand. Should I try Amon RA?

If it's with MIUI 1.9.9, then OP just said that they took it off of the site. Try a different version, like 1.9.2.

Yeah, actually bro, they took 1.9.9 off the site last night, and I flashed MIUI 1.9.2 and it works great, so I would try that if I were you.

I was having the same problem and what I did was just download 1.9.9 from the site, place it on SD, then just flash manually through recovery. Works now. Seems a little laggy though.

THe original release of 9.9 wouldn't flash on anyone's phone. It pretty much took up a few pages at the end of the thread, so good job not reading.
Anyhow, there's a new version on the miui.us site that's been fixed

I literally just made my account on this site yesterday, and it was just to message MagnusRagnarok about Destroyer v2.
That being said, I have never before run MIUI, and when I finally did decide to try MIUI out, it had nothing to do with a thread on this website, so I have no idea what thread you're talking about. So you can take your attitude somewhere else, and we can all be mature and helpful on my thread. Thanks.

Well, it would be thew tread about MIUI, which is a good place to start when you're gonna flash the MIUI ROM you never used before.
Of course, the 3 pages about that problem on MIUI.us site would have been another good place to look. You know, the one titled Hanging On Booth Thread? Or the Impressions thread.
Don't give me attitude because you were too lazy to actually do a little (needed) research before you blindly (and stupidly) flashed a new ROM.

Look, I'm sorry if I'm short with you, but look to the left and you can see I've been here awhile, I'm very active in these forums and I try to help out as much as I can, but I've seen far too many uneducated questions that could have been avoided by doing a little research before doing something like a completely new ROM that you have never tried before, and I don't feel the need to pull any punched with people like that.

You're hilariously ignorant if you think I "Blindly (stupidly)" flashed a rom without knowing anything about it. Just because I read a site that has NOTHING TO DO with the rom, but rather a community of developers, that really just PORTED the rom some other people made, sooo.. Just because I researched it on the official MIUI site, instead of this one, you're going to falsley accuse me of some crazy ****. You think you're smart because you've been on the site for longer than me, but really you seem to have an inability to read my ****ing thread. I bid you good day sir.

Typical troll, get's called out for doing something wrong and lashes back instead of accepts the fact that he screwed up...

I'm afraid you are ignorant to what a troll is. You see, I was looking on a help forum, for help. If anyone here could be classified as a troll it would be you.

You are so right, with your 10 whole posts....

Yeah, so I'm new to a phone forum. The 15 years I've been browsing the rest of the internet and making 90$ an hour programming doesn't show anything. You know, you would do well to watch how you treat others because you know nothing about them. Just because you may know more about a specific problem than me doesn't make me any less of something than you, it just makes me less qualified to answer that specific question. If you asked me for help.regarding something you couldn't do... I would help you without question, especially considering I had the problem solved before you even posted on the thread.

Posting how much you make is pretty troll-like, for one. I'd think someone that has been on the net almost as long as I have would have a clue as to internet decorum.
Keeping this going, also very troll-like.

Is this new Market????

Was wondering if this is what the new Market looks like. When I first got my Epic the Market was the same but once I rooted and installed Froyo it looked like this. Weird thing is the shots are taken from my rooted Evo running Myn's RLS 4. Up until last night I had his themed Market but I wake up this morning & the Market looks like this. Everything else looks the same. Can your Market just randomly just update itself because that is what seems like happened to me.

No, that is actually the OLD market. You phone has somehow retrograded itself to the market from 3 years ago. Weird.
Yes, that is the new market.
You posted in the development section, though. Only roms,hacks, and kernels go here. You might consider posting in the q & a section next time.
WOW! The OLD Market???? This just gets stranger by the second! How the heck did I get the old Market? Haven't flashed anything since the release of Myn's 4. You say old but its kind of new to me. I didnt hope on the Android bandwagon until the Hero and I've never seen this one. I actually think it looks better than the current one. Any ideas of how this happened & how I can get back to the new Market or at least Myn's themed one. I'm assuming a wipe & fresh install are my only options. Still got me bugged out to as how & why my phone downgraded itself, especially seeing as how the Evo never had this Market to my knowledge.
Sorry about posting in wrong section. I'll post in right section now.

And what would that have told me? Got more important things to do then memorize the version number of every app that is on my phone. Version 2.2.7 could be 200.2.7 for all I really care. I saw that it looked different overnight & don't remember updating anything so that was why I asked. A simple yes,
no or ignore & kick rocks was all that was needed.

generally when a big change is made to an app or rom the highest digit changes. IE 2.7-3.0.

People who had rooted 2.2 can flash a rooted 2.3 Rom, but people who have an unrooted 2.3 from taking the its can't root yet.

Yeah it may be annoying to see people asking but 90% of you are down right dicks to people. Chill out, and answer their questions, and throw in a link or two to a thread that goes in to more detail of the situation.
Oh and just saying, the "When people like you STOP asking" makes no sense. You have nothing better to do than be a jerk on a forum? People asking about a root does nothing to slow the process. Dillweed.

I agree completely. And I think that people should be informed of the way things are ran around here. I just don't like people who feel the need to be downright obnoxious to people for making a mistake. The damage is done by that point, answer the question, and inform them that they should search from now on. It disgusts me that people get so high and mighty on forums.
Regardless of what question is asked.. Most likely the person asking didn't come in here to ruin someones day or make a similar question to someone else. They simply came here to ask a question or get some advice.. To actually take the time to post some idiotic insult is beyond moronic and basically just says you have nothing better to do with your time than troll forums and bash people for what you "obviously" already know.. This equates to one possible solution for everyone involved.. GET A LIFE!!!
To answer what someone else asked.
I dont think it is possible to do anything with a phone that has a OTA update if Gingerbread on it. I remember reading that it is not possible to undo that update. you simply must wait for the Root to come out, which should be soon.
These Devs are some of the smartest people on the planet, and should be working for HTC et al. They are most likely waiting for some code to be released, just like I am waiting for some coding to be released to I can get a new Kernel for my Synergy ROM.

There is still hope

For those of you still waiting for your D Inc 2 there is still hope for 2.2.1. The first one I received was 2.3 but Verizon just sent me another and it was indeed 2.2.1. So everyone reading these dreaded posts of no root just know there is still hope.
wait, what?
so, for Dinc2's that ship with 2.3, they won't be able to have root (for now)?
ah! Verizon shipped me a Dinc2 without a battery and I have to wait until Wednesday to turn on my phone. I will be very unhappy if mine doesn't come with 2.2.1
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you really need to stop starting these pointless threads. There is already a thread about the discussion of what Dinc2's are currently shipping with, which is precisely where this post should be. Also, you post asking about Sense 3.0 ROMs is unnecessary as well. You only need to go into the Development section and look at the first page of threads to see what ROMs we have. Please use the search function. Thanks.

Wow. Ok since you want to get an attitude, let's do this...
First of all, reading > you. I said NOTHING about a thread. I'm talking about just going into the Development section and LOOKING. CM7 is right there. If there were a Sense 3.0 ROM, I guarantee it would be on the first page of threads too.
Next, this thread was pointless since all you had to do was a quick search to find a recovery package.
Next, you started this, this, and this could all have been posted in the same thread. But instead you felt it necessary to start all new threads and con-volute the forums.
And, on top of all of that, when I come in here and NICELY ask you to stop posting unnecessary threads, you get an attitude. So, according to my count, with this thread, Sense 3.0, recovery question, and the 3 rooting threads, 5 of your 7 threads in here are complete garbage. I would love to see how you defend yourself on starting all those threads.

Well the Sense 3.0 ROM was on the 3rd page I believe. Wrong on you. Those 3 threads were called I was in discussion with a couple devs from other communities and spread the ideas which were all at different times. And the recovery question had nothing to do with wanting a recovery image. I just asked if Alpharev flashes one for you. Maybe you should read before you start sifting through the forums showing you have no life. This argument is done. Try putting your little mind power to something else besides sitting on my nuts.
Much love.

I try very hard thank you.

I think I am done rooting- thoughts?

Maybe it's just bad luck, but I have had issues no matter with ROM I use. The last two times after crashing, my GN could not even restart in Bootloader so I was forced to get a replacement phone. Only got a few months of use on the first one before this problem happened again. I'm always finding some kind of annoying bug and I am getting tired of trying to determine why this keeps happening, so I thought I'd post and share just to see if anyone had advice. I love all the features in AOKP, but the crashes have hurt me the most. I have tried many others but think I'll stick with stock for now. I love the GN because of the beautiful and large screen. Unfortunately, Verizon will not give me another phone of equal or lesser value and I cannot upgrade until 10/13. I'm starting to think the GN is just not very ROOT friendly.
Does this happen to anyone else? I'm not nearly as techie as I'd like to be, but I've learned so much from this forum and loved all the ROMS I used- when they worked that is.

Here is what has happened the last two times. I turned the phone on and Ill I got was the "goolgle" screen. Nothing else, kept flashing on and off. Tried to restart directly into bootloader but no success. This has happened multiple times now. Rooting is not difficult for me, until this issue came along. Until I can figure out why that happened I don't want to try again. Haven't heard of this problem yet so please understand my frustration and lack of words to describe what is happening.

Rooting couldn't possibly cause that.
Bad hardware, memory corruption, bad flash of a kernel or rom maybe, but not root.
sounds like a bad kernel flash or rom flash
just adding root, does not do what you just described.
I agree with the rest. Rooting just gives you access to options and settings that you normally can't access. So you either got bum phones or you did something or had bad flash

Here is what has happened the last two times. I turned the phone on and Ill I got was the "goolgle" screen. Nothing else, kept flashing on and off. Tried to restart directly into bootloader but no success. This has happened multiple times now. Rooting is not difficult for me, until this issue came along. Until I can figure out why that happened I don't want to try again. Haven't heard of this problem yet so please understand my frustration and lack of words to describe what is happening.
Thanks,
Hobbes

sound like you were running a kernel with default fsync off and risky mount options. when it crashed, it lost everything.
Appreciate the help, and glad to hear. I did change kernels and that sounds like where the problem lies. I'm not too sure I really care much about kernels, so I will try again and keep whatever kernel the ROM comes with.
Thanks,
Hobbes

Maybe it's just bad luck, but I have had issues no matter with ROM I use. The last two times after crashing, my GN could not even restart in Bootloader so I was forced to get a replacement phone. Only got a few months of use on the first one before this problem happened again. I'm always finding some kind of annoying bug and I am getting tired of trying to determine why this keeps happening, so I thought I'd post and share just to see if anyone had advice. I love all the features in AOKP, but the crashes have hurt me the most. I have tried many others but think I'll stick with stock for now. I love the GN because of the beautiful and large screen. Unfortunately, Verizon will not give me another phone of equal or lesser value and I cannot upgrade until 10/13. I'm starting to think the GN is just not very ROOT friendly.
Does this happen to anyone else? I'm not nearly as techie as I'd like to be, but I've learned so much from this forum and loved all the ROMS I used- when they worked that is.

Well, before mucking around, search some of the forums, because this problem is not caused by the ROM, or the phone. OSs only crash, wehn you're asking to much of them, eg.: Windows, open too many processes, it shuts itself down, so it doesn't burn out the RAM, it's just protecting itself.
Imagine you would have to work in an office, type three essays and phone with a multi-millionar client, all at the same time, then you know how an OS feels, when you ask too much of it. Just do one thing at a time, let it finish one job, before starting another, and don't overclock the CPU too much, 1.4 GHz, on both cores is enough to run Windows Vista, 7 and 8 64x, let alone the Android OS, which managed to run fine an a hTC nexus one...
If you really want some advice, from someone who has gone through 20 computer OSs and 6 smartphones in one year, then read on;
Take your phone and root it, to get the most out of it. Enjoy the phone whilst you have it and NEVER, EVER say an Android is not "root-friendly". Follow that piece of advice, with the tips I mentioned above, and you'll NEVER have a crash again (BTW, here's a quick one: take stock AOSP, flash the imgs and then put one feature on the, at a time... )

Found the SGSII for .96 cents for an upgrade, what should I do to it?

Found the Samsung Epic 4g Touch for .96 cents at Sam's Club and I am going to pick it up tomorrow. I know I don't want the stock Sprint crap and I want Wimax tethering. What do you think will be the best rom to do this with? I understand I will be getting opinions only.

Welcome. There is no best ROM, its a matter of personal preference. You're going to get flamed and this thread will probably get locked. Better luck next time... spend time reading before flashing, it is possible to brick

I have been reading and this is for opinions only, I know every rom is different that is why I asked for opinions to figure which fits me better. This was the first phone forum that actually had a q&a area so I thought that was what it was for. My bad if I screwed up.
You should just buy my device for 170$
You should try out some roms and see. This thread will be locked by papa smurf though. We have had a ton of these posts lately good luck

I guess I have always been on legacy device forum or something because I have never heard of a Nazi Mod who has a problem with people asking questions in a Q&A forum. I do appreciate the people who have answered and I do find this hilarious.

Papa can speak for himself but they're not a "Nazi Mod".
Your question is one of your taste and your taste only. Go read the OPs of the Rom's and decide for yourself.
All you're asking for is fans of this rom, that rom, this build, that build to weigh in. So, what's the point?
Instead of asking everyone to do the work for you, read through the numerous posts on the different roms available and decide for yourself.

Shame on you for assuming everyone doesn't read first, I have been perusing the Epic 4g touch for the last 2 weeks but I still like other users opinions. I mean the internet is for acquiring knowledge and learning in different ways, no it wasn't made for porn and cat pictures. When I buy something off the internet I read all the reviews by individuals I can to make sure the item is OK, these reviews are their opinions, and I ask for opinions as well. I mean seriously I know every single one of you guys probably do the same thing. No one buys blindly so yes I will always ask for other people opinions. It is the only way I found out using CM7.2 on my current LG Optimus S is what I was looking for. If you all want to be rude and not answer that is your choice but I will always ask.

I only said Nazi mod because of the way you guys were talking about him, I personally don't know him yet. I want people to weigh in on what they like about a rom, yes, so I can decide if that feature is something that would work for me. I am sorry to say that a person who created a rom is going to say everything they can to praise their rom, I know i would, so I don't go buy it alone. Especially if it will be my daily driver, i would rather not have to try a rom out everyday. Yes, I read what other people say as well but the only people who usually talk in a rom thread are the people who like it, not everyone will say what they don't like about it.

never flame people, you were a noob once
I think what most were thinking is that there are plenty of threads with people asking the same question in this forum... They just wanted you to look instead of opening a new thread. I wouldn't flame someone because depending on what you are using to view xda, sometimes you don't have all the options you do when on the internet and end up posting in wrong places... In your case, you asked a question i have seen in the last couple of weeks at least four times. Do get discouraged just check prior threads for this phone first.

I would recommend trying out a whole bunch of different ones, there are plenty of stable ROMs out there man, its all about what fits you best, I couldn't tell you has many I flashed before I found the one I currently rock. Good luck and welcome to the SgSII world!
