[Q] Phone less stable after installing CM--RIL problem? - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed CM7 on my friend's HTC Buzz, and the first time it received a phone call, the phone process crashed when she tried to pick up (subsequent calls worked). A couple days later, she could make phone calls but could not hear anything I said and I could not hear anything she said. Rebooting fixed that problem.
Could there be a problem with her Radio Interface Library not matching the radio firmware? Is there anything else we should be trying? Thanks.
(Her baseband version is: 13.55.55.24h_3.35.20.10)

Have you flashed the rom properly?
did u wipe dalvik and cache?

I followed the CM instructions: "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition", but did not wipe the Dalvik cache. I guess I should have? Is this something we could do now, or will it break the phone's current ROM?

You can wipe the dalvik cache in the cwm and reboot. As i know it should be done every time you flash a new rom. It doesn't hurt anything to do it now. It's only possible to fix things. It will just take more time to boot your phone as it is builded the first time you boot after wiping.

Wiping dalvik cache in Clockwork Recovery

I searched and didn't find the answer. I perform a dalvik cache wipe via Clockwork and I don't get any confirmation it did anything. It just sends me back to the previous menu screen. Is this normal?

which version? the older versions of clockwork had a bug that it didnt actually work to clear dalvik but if you update to the newest one available it does now (easiest way is just to install rom manager and let it update it for you)
mine doesn't show anything either. it pauses for a few seconds though so i'm assuming that it does it i've got 2.5.0.1 which i think is the newest one for the EVO.
I have ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1
It says it's the latest version
Mine does the same thing
What's a few extra seconds to make sure the dalvik is emptied?

On the Evo, the Dalvik cache is located in the /data directory, which is itself completely wiped when you do a data wipe / factory reset. If you do this first, then try the Dalvik wipe, it will just go back with no pause or confirmation. If you try to wipe Dalvik before wiping /data, it may pause a bit longer (0.7 seconds, maybe) and then return with no confirmation.
Either way, if you do a /data wipe you will be wiping Dalvik, but upgrade CWM if you're worried about it.

[Q] HTC Desire ROM without Sense

I've just rooted my phone and now require a ROM which doesn't have sense UI, what one would be my best option?
Thanks
Anything with AOSP in the title
and CM7, cant forget that
The best vanilla Rom I have tried is redux, I found it much quicker than ginger villain.

I just tried to flash gingervillian on my phone but I think I must have made a mistake somewhere as it got to the gingervillian load screen and then just got caught in a loop where it'd just replay the animation of it. I then had to do a restore to sort my phone out.
I did follow the unlockr guide but it doesn't help that the guy is using an Evo instead of a Desire and the menu's are totally different in the Clockworkmod screen.
At one point he says you need to wipe the dalvik cache but I couldn't find this so just wiped the cache. So this might have been the problem? Also do you need to wipe anything else at this point?
You need to wipe everything, what recovery are you using - CWM or AmonRA?
I'm using the CWM recovery.
Dunno then, in AmonRA you choose 'Wipe' and all options are in there. Must be something similar in CWM
I've checked again and I have two wipe menus:
1. Wipe data/ factory reset
(under this I have: Delete all user data)
2. Wipe Cache Partition
(in this I have: Wipe cache)
Hmmm, not as many as AmonRA - find that surprising but probably better to see what someone else says

After you do the first 2 wipe's go to advanced its the last menu and do wipe dalvik cache, after that it should work fine...

What do you mean by after I do the first two wipes?
Do I delete user data, wipe cache and also then wipe dalvik cache.
Thanks.
Yes. A "full wipe" means wiping the User data/cache/dalvik cache. So wipe all three:
1. Wipe data/ factory reset
2. Wipe Cache Partition
3. Wipe dalvik cache
The order does not matter.
Ah OK thanks.
I don't like the sound of having to 'wipe/ delete all user' data though, does this mean I'll lose all my contacts, calender entries, notes etc?
Yes, but if coming from another ROM you HAVE to do it. Do a nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM and backup any other data using Titanium Backup
I'm not coming from another ROM but regardless I'll do the Titanium backup and do the three wipes and try it again.

Well I've done it and unfortunately have been having alot of hassle trying to get it to be stable. These are the two main issues:
1. I can't seem to get psx4droid to work properly. When I go to load a game by selecting its data.bin file the screen goes black for a few seconds and then returns to the select screen, instead of firing up the game. Does psx4droid actually run on gingervillain?
2. Also I have the other extremely annoying issue where if I turn my phone off it will not get any further than the gingervillain splash screen and just freezes on it. The only way passed this is to then go into CWM and wipe all the user data again!
Can anyone help with these two problems?
Use Oxygen 2.0.1 and download ADW Launcher, sounds like what you want, i have flashed just about all the ROM's and i reckon Oxygen is the best, then use UOT Kitchen to make some cool mods and ADW Launcher EX speeds it up alot also.
Plus its very stable and you wont get any boot loops or anything.

[Q] DHD won't stop rebooting...

My phone is rooted and I have had many custom roms on my phone, but now when my phone boots, it gets to the lock screen, and reboots automatically... I can get in to the recovery mode, and I flashed couple of different roms, but it ends up the same way - the moment it boots, it starts restarting itself... Any help??
If you flashed without wiping, that might be a problem. I know that when this happened on my old G1, clearing the dalvik cache helped. To do this, go into recovery, then go to "Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache". Also, while your in recovery, Fix permissions (same menu as clear dalvik cache), then reboot. The boot should take as long as a first boot, maybe a little quicker, but it should stop it.
another thing it could be is the wifi, on CM7 for example i'd get bootloops if i enabled the wifi on the 1st boot, dunno if the current nightly still does it coz i dont enable my wifi until i done one complete reboot after flashing a new ROM.
Or flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720
Full wipe 1.3 for ext3 and 1.5 for Ext4 roms , then re flash the Rom ur having problems with.

I tried all of this... still no luck... It's the same - boots up, the lock screen shows it self, and then it keeps rebooting...
Any new ideas?
Hmmmmm
What rom are you on at the moment?
It doesn't matter. I've changed couple of them. It started on ARHD, but it's the same when i flash cyanogen... Maybe I should try flashing radio? Because, when it boot's up, just before restarting, i see that it's not connected to the mobile network... And it first started happening when I landed in Turkey... Can it have something to do with their network??
I wouldn't think it's anything to do with the network....but i would flash the reccomended radio (the one from the 4th of january)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295
Also, wipe every partition manually (except /sdcard !) from the advanced menu in clockworkmod recovery, then use the wipe/factory reset option in the main menu, then flash the rom. If that doesn't work, the only thing i could suggest is using a WWE RUU from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824357
Make sure you flash one for either 1.32.405.3 or 1.32.405.6 (those are the only rootable firmwares, and the unbranded ones don't like being downgraded, so you'll need a goldcard if you flash higher). When the RUU finishes, it'll bring you back to stock, then you can root the phone again
As I thought, flashing radio helped!! Thank you very much!!

Messaging and Phone apps keep crashing

Hey all,
I've been searching for a while now and decided I should just post my question finally. I have the Galaxy SIII, rooted, and running CM10 stable. For the last 3 months or so, my SMS app, Messaging, has been randomly force closing and crashing. The only way to fix it is by rebooting the phone. I've tried re-flashing the mod 5 times, and even wiped data and done 2 factory resets. Still no luck.
And more recently my "phone" app has been doing it too. It crashes when I open up the dial pad and drops calls randomly and I have to restart my phone for it to work again.
Both of these will happen randomly. Sometimes I can go 4 hours without having to restart my phone, other times I have to restart my phone every 20 minutes. It's really starting to bug me.
Is there an app that's known to cause these crashes? Or is there a possibility that the mod file is corrupt? Thoughts? Questions? Any help is appreciated!!
When you flashed Cm10, did you come from stock or a custom rom? Did you also format /system?
If you made a nandroid while on stock, I would:
Wipe data, cache, dalvik and restore that. Then (assuming you still have Cm10 and gapps zips on your device) I would wipe data and caches again, format /system and flash rom/gapps. Wipe data/cache and reboot.

When I flashed, it was from a previous CM10 ROM that worked fine. I reflashed because one of my apps was getting an "unknown" error, and now this crashing is happening. I don't think I have ever done "format /system". How do I go about that?

To have a completely clean install, you should always:
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik (under advanced)
Format /system (under mounts and storage)
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Wipe data
Reboot
Be sure to have whatever you feel important backed up as this will wipe your system. Make a nandroid first if you don't already have one

Thanks!! I'll try it tonight and post with the results tomorrow. Last time I flashed it took 2 days until the problems arose again.

There shouldn't be any issues if you have flashed correctly. Many users have also noted that a custom rom performs better when returning to stock and then flashing the new rom via the above procedures. Feel free to pm me your results
What the???

I can't see this is a good thing, but I'm a noob.
You're saying after installing the new ROM and apps (Flash rom Flash gapps), you then go back into CWM and select 'wipe data/factory reset'??
Again, I'm a noob and maybe I'm reading this wrong!
Doing a wipe again right after installing a new ROM sounds so wrong to me.
What would that do?

This step (step 7 in your list) isn't necessary.
When in doubt, follow the directions in the OP of the rom you are trying to flash, usually can't go wrong.

Failed FLASHING S4

Hi guys, don't know if this is going on the right forum or whatever but I have a problem!
So last week I rooted and flashed my phone to 4.4.2 Google Play Edition (I'm a noob to all of this) may I add that I have a GT-i9505 model with an unlocked bootloader etc (as I have an international s4)
Phone was working fine except for a few bugs such as camera application would stop working.
So I decided to have to have a look around at another ROM to change and flash it and I found the 4.4.2 Liquidsmooth ROM (which looks pretty good and seems to be everything I need) so I started to reflash it all again (as I did before) however I have 35% battery and my flash failed with the error
'file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.pro" error executing updater binary in zip.
So what is it I'm doing wrong? Is it coz I'm flashing on top of another ROM? I have no idea, can someone point me in the right direction? I'm not using an ext SD card for this either!
If you can a noob version would be awesome! Thank you so much for reading this!

Ok you must wipe your old rom first but MAKE A BACK UP, firstly go into recovery (cwm or twrp) and go to "back up" and make a back up. second go to wipe and wipe cache then wipe dalvic cache (if your using cmw you will have to go to advanced on the home screen to wipe dalvic cache)
third go back to wipe and wipe system, after that wipe the cache and dalvic cache just like before
And for the final stage go to install, find the rom you want (will be a zip file) and then flash it, when done wipe cache and dalvic cache one more time then reboot
And bam you should have you new custom rom (you dont have to keep wiping the cache and dalvic cache but its recomended)

Glad i could help :laugh:
the most important thing is read, read and read the instruction before applying any flash.
I always do that and never fail
