[Q] Help! Force Close errors - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cannot do anything with my phone. It freezes and locks up and sends me force closure messages with any application and with the launcher. I don't know what to do. I didn't root my phone (a friend did it for me about a year ago) and never updated anything. I need help. Thanks

If you provide more info it'll be easier to find out what the problem is...

Since you are rooted try going to recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache 3x each if that doesnt work you may need to flash a new rom stock rooted if you like stock or a custom rom if u choose to go with something a little different for custom roms id suggest the classic by tommytomatoe if u like sense 1.0 or mikg v3.0 or v3.1 uf you want to try sense 2.1 with 3.0 elements like the lock ring both have good support and lots of themes addons tweaks and customization

Hopefully you did an Android backup. If not you can just use USB through amon ra in recovery and download a stable from.

[Q] Why can't I get the market to work?

I'm having a problem and hopefully it's something simple I overlooked. I installed Cyanogen's V6.0.0. RC1 and the market won't find anything I search for. I tried a different ROM and the same problem. Now I have no ROM Manager and I can't get into recovery. Recovery goes away every time I wipe to install a new ROM. Is there something I can do to fix it?
If u just noticed it then its not ur Rom, market has been down on different devices to night since about 12

After I install a new ROM and try to boot into recovery mode when the phone is turned off it doesn't load Clockwork Recovery it loads the stock recovery and I don't have any options until I use ROM Manager and install the recovery image from there.
Hope that's enough info.

You need to go in to the menu of the stock recovery (up volume + power), and select apply update.zip to go in to clockwork.

Q ......Please help out ...please thank you....

Hold the top power button and most roms will have a Reboot option, click and go down to recovery, if it doesnt have it, then turn off phone, hold volume down button and power at same time, when bootloader pops up scroll down to recovery and hit power and your in recovery.
make sure you wipe cache and dalvik cache.

So, when you're in bootloader, and select recovery, what does it do ? What recovery were you using, amon or clockwork? You said 4g isn't working? What's it do ? Did you backup your rsakeys, or use amon ra to make nand backup? Let me know.

go to Amon-Ra thread in development. Download his image file, put on the root of your SD card, boot into bootloader, when it asks if you want to flash, accept(vol up I think) then let it flash and try and boot into recovery again.
If you are using ROM manager, you can try to flash a different version of Clockwork. That worked for me.

Or, IMO, use ROM manager to flash to Amon RA.

Amon-Ra is a much better recovery than Clockwork. Seems to be less borked and less issues than clockwork.

Unless you backed up before flashing, you probably lost rsa keys. Have fun trying to get em back. Now find a way to get a recovery. Go to amon's thread and there's instructions on how to flash it using terminal emulator
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
Mine did the same thing, not being able to boot to recovery... somehow I guess the recovery image got corrupted... I just used ROM manager to flash Amon Ra (by clicking "flash alternate recovery") and it booted right into recovery....
As for the no-4g.... not good
Ok I do some reading and I got ny 4g working and I know way more then I did before this ...thanks guys for the help ....

go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
then go to the download section and download the RA-supersonic zip file . Rename the zip to PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sd Card and then power off your phone and hold power button aand volume down at the same time.This will take you to the bootloader and it will say there is a update. Accept it and you will have amon ra now when you go to your recovery.
First, stop using ROM Manager.
Second, d/l this: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?v453e5wg0on3pzt
rename it to PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SDCard (As in not in any folders, just on the card)
If you have it enabled, disable fastboot in settings.
Power down, then hold Volume Down and power until the Hboot comes up. It will do a scan, find the file and ask you to upgrade, hit yes. When it's done it will reboot back to Hboot again, it will do that scan again, and this time hit no. Then click on recovery and you'll be in Amon Ra.
OK, now, since you are somewhat new, here are some tips:
1) Always do a nandroid of your current setup.
2) before you flash a ROM, go to wipe and hit User Data/Factory reset, then wipe each subcategory except SDCard: and Battery Stats, if you're not fully charged. I even wipe Dalvik and Cache twice. This will severely limit and reduce the chance of force closes, reboots, etc.
3) Flash your ROM.
4) You should research APS2SD if you're not using it. These ROMS are bigg and take up a lot of space.
Also, I understand that the God Mode version of Synergy takes for-EVER to boot up. I'm not sure if that's still like that or not, but read everything before you flash it and know what to expect.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
I recommend you stop using CWM and switch over to using AmonRA, it is well known that CWM doesn't fully wipe and causes many problems
I recommend using this recovery: Amon Ra Style Recovery for Supersonic
I also recommend using a wipe script such as VR_SuperWipe or SNS Super Wipe.
Then try flashing the rom you want. Make sure that you wait through the complete boot time on the first boot with the new rom. It can take 5 min or longer sometimes.
Nope didn't work

wait to get into clockwork mod its up and down arrows and power button then when it says samsung let go power button but keep holding up and down arrows until clockwork turns on.
once in clockwork factory reset wipe cache and reflash a different rom. if needed dload and new rom and load into clock work it usng mount usb option under advanced to put the rom on your phone then flash it. if you cant get into clockwork go to this guide to use odin to flash back a stock rom and start over.
