Alright for some reason unknown to me i have a demon Evo that wants to be different from everyone else. When i first rooted i lost the paid market, and my market was running really slowly. I flashed multiple roms and even the latest OTA to no avail. I did the new root method and again i am still having issues, my phone doing some things different then other people have experienced.
For example, i just tried to flash the latest baked snacks rom, and it came up as,
Wrong Digest
com.market.apk (or whatever the markets true name is)
Is there anyone that can help out?
Would removing the market using adb and then flashing a rom change anything?
Any ideas to experiment would be greatly appreciated!
ok so /system/app is a read only file system so i cant just remove the apps anyways and try and replace them with a flash.
Any ideas?
Also just flashed a 2.2 rom to see if that would change anything and again i have no paid app sections in the market.
i have no clue what the problem is but are you wiping before you flash
Of course im wiping haha. Ive wiped everything you possibly can wipe. Ive deleted the entire /system/app folder before flashing. Ive flashed roms of 2.2 and 2.1, ive ran RUU's. I have no friggin clue what steps to take
but you have tried doing the data,cache,dalvik from the recovery menu? Sorry if that's what you meant but I am a little confused by the wiping system/app part you wrote
Yeah i have. Ive wiped everything.
Hmm. Have you tried a different recovery to make sure its not that? Sorry I don't have any more tips to give you, it just seems like its a strange problem to have across multiple roms. Just kinda makes me think something isn't clearing correctly. Best of luck, I'm sure you will get it figured out
yeah i just wish there was someone who had the key. Ive had both clockwork and Amon's recovery. I have no idea what it could be and i cant believe nobody else has experienced this.
yeah, sorry I couldn't offer a better answer. I tried doing a search but could not find anything relevant
I am sure you will figure it out though!
I am using RA-Supersonic-v2.3 and im not use to the stuff i need to delete on the supersonic recovery mode. to the HTC hero to the HTC evo the list is alot bigger.
if this safe to wipe or am i missing something. Just asking so I don't screw anything up. I always nand back up.
[x] ALL userdata/factory reset
[x] CACHE:
[x] DALVIK-CACHE:
[x] DATA:
[ ] SDCARD: .android_secure
[ ] BOOT:
[ ] SYSTEM:
[ ] SDCARD
[ ] SDEXT
[ ] DATA:battery stats
[ ] DATA:rotate settings
also is Cache safe to wipe at anytime without having to reflash the rom, mod, and theme? i did see some people have issues and wiping the cache also helped fixxed some issues.
If your flashing a new ROM, wipe data, cache, dalvik, and SD:ext.
If your flashing a mod or kernel, wipe cache, dalvik, and SD:ext.
If your switching between Sense and ASOP ROMs and find out you have unexplained issues, wipe system as well. (I haven't needed to do this yet)
Don't forget to do multiple nandriod backups, just in case 1 of them is corrupted.
Enjoy.
Edit: Yes, flashing cache can be done anytime.
thank you very much. im currently having issues flashing roms. 3 diffrent roms keep coming up with this cant find country location and now im having issues with the google setup it keeps crashing and the home launcher doesnt load. keeps crashing as well.
Hmmm, I guess I've been lucky. I haven't had any problems yet with flashing ROMs. I make a point to religiously wipe (multiple times even) before flashing.
I've heard of possible issues with AMON_RA 2.3. I don't use it, but that's the general feeling I get from reading that thread.
Here is a bootloader image of AMON_RA 2.2.1 (its labeled as PC36IMG), load it on your SD card in the root folder. When bootloader comes on, it will scan and find this image automatically. Allow it to run and it'll give you 2.2.1.
I'd try that. Then wipe and flash using 2.2.1; see if that gets you to a working system.
@coiledwire
thank you for the tip there. but it failed also. it fails to load any rom the second i flash slayer69 dragon. sucks too. maybe its cause i used unrevoked3
You also want to be wiping system and boot between new roms, that is most likely what's causing it.
Here is a nice little zip that wipes in one swoop, flash it like a rom when going to a new rom:
http://db.tt/RtRcDLr
Its just a little script that makes wiping easier.
And I use amon 2.3 no problem so that's not the issue.
so with this i dont need to wipe anything else??? just flash that and it formats for me?
Correct, it simply wipes system, data, cache, dalvik, and boot through the zip.
awesome i will test that out and i will let u kno the outcome. and thank you!
EDIT: ok well the format.zip ROCKS..... but... the theme still didnt work. i can see the status bar but. the launcher just doesnt exist. its a solid black screen with the status bar. ive tried rebooting and still doesnt work.
idk if its cause the way im doing it or what.

I used unrEVOked3 also and I haven't experienced any of the problems you are.
Your theme zip file may be corrupted from downloading. I don't know if where you downloaded lists the correct md5 checksum or not. If they do, compare the one you have to the one they give. If they don't give you the correct checksum, download the theme twice and compare the checksum against each other.
If you're using a windows system, search for a checksum program. I don't remember the name of it, but I installed a free one that added that data to the properties window.
ok so if i do that, how do i deal with it after. cause ive downloaded the file 7 times and tried them all. even unrooted my phone and rerooted. tried 3 different recoveries. idk if using EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_WiMAX_27167_R01_PRI_NV_1.90_003.zip
would cause it.
Is it possible the theme is incompatible with the rom?
Usually a theme replaces the rom's framework-res.apk, and if they are not compatible, you basically overwrite necessary files in that apk which will result in errors/problems.

I don't think that radio flash would cause your themed launcher from appearing. Just be careful with flashing radios, as its one of the few things that have a high chance to brick your phone if something goes wrong.
Generally you want to make sure any files downloaded aren't corrupt and you wipe before flashing. Some ROMs like to be flashed and booted into before applying any themes, while other ROMs need to have the theme installed before the 1st boot into the OS.
Seems like you're having a specific issue with the theme. I would check that theme's thread and see if anyone there has any insight for you. Sorry I can't be more help than that. Good luck.
ok well thank you for the replies. but as for the issue. the odd part is i rooted and flashed myn's warm rls5 and then the slayer69 cyan dragon theme and it loaded perfect. well i unrooted cause i had to bring the phone back to to issue. the sprint guy forgot to take the LED chip out of the white back when he put the red back on.
after that i re rooted and flashed the stuff the same way and ever since its been this way.
I use Amon RA recovery 2.3 with no issues.

i been using that one and still have issues. ive gone through a handful of different recoveries and still got the same issue. idk if i am doing i am doing something wrong or not.
Hey since we are on the topic of wiping stuff.
Anyone willing to send me the Format All zip? I have searched this forum like mad trying to find it, and I found a link for it (or so I thought) and it was broken. Figured I would ask here instead of making a new thread asking.
http://db.tt/RtRcDLr
this is the link another member posted for me. if the link doesnt work. let me kno.

Works great, much appreciated
np, glad it works for u
I am having issues with Kingdom lockscreen. I have installed it and the ringpull comes up with the time but the widgets do not appear. I can go into personalise and choose which widgets to display but they still do not show up. On a couple of occasions they have appeared for less than a second before disappearing. I have flashed the lockscreen a number of times now and still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Stuart
no ideas anyone? I've read of a couple of people with the same issue but literally a couple, ad even then there were no solutions posted
Not had this problem, the only things I could suggest; re-flash the kingdom lockscreen and then wipe the dalvik cache. Or possibly mount system and flash the lockscreen.
Other than that, I'm at a loss.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
In SEOs thread, in the OP, he states that some solutions to some problems.
Try 'clear data' in HTC Sense (the one with the home screen as a logo) in the 'Remove App' settings.
NOTE: it will delete your Home Screen widgets.
But go read his 1st post, and he tells you which data to clear when you have issues with some of his MODs
Thanks for the help, tried all the above and still the same problem. Really puzzles me why it would be happening and its not a more common problem. I followed the instructions to a T when flashing ARHD and the mods as I'm sure most other people did so I really am stumped by this
So I've just flashed ARHD 5.1.8 and the all in one sense 3.0 pack and still having the same issue
The sense pack includes kingdom lockscreen I should have said
Re flashed 5.1.8, wiped cache and dalvik cache, rebooted into recovery, flashed sense 3.0 pack and still the same problem. Must be something wrong with my phone, dont know what though, very frustrating
Again the apps appeared for a second and then disappeared the first time I rebooted
I think I might just have to wipe and start again from scratch. eek
Yes that seems the best thing to do. A hardware fault is extremely unlikely.
Jeez I hope not! I meant something software related though, I just did a full backup after I installed the ROM so maybe it something from that. I think I'll wipe and start from a clean install and see if that helps. Do you know what the backup of apps is like from google? Reliable? Does it backup in-app data yet?
This post is purely to get up to 10 posts so I can post in the right forum. Apologies

SILLY QUESTION from my side BUT why are you trying to flash Kingdom lockscreen? Doesn't it have that installed already?
Try just re-flashing the ROM WITHOUT full wipe. If that doesn't work then try downloading the ROM again.. fresh download, clean wipe, data, cache and delvik and re-install ;o)
Hope this helps you mate!!
Ok so im having some major issues. After wiping everything, il flash a rom using AmonRa recovery and it will start up like normal with no issues.. But when i need to restart my phone, or pull the battery or shut off or w/e, it wont get past start up screen.. Doesn't matter what rom i use..
All i remember is after flashing a bad Ice cream sandwich rom, i started having the issues.. Heard someone say something about my hboot? if it could be that, its version 6. 16. 1002.
Need help badly =( My phones my main source of communication and i hate having to reflash it daily
I had the same problem I flashed a miui ROM from amonra recovery and it just got stuck on the bootload screen... I fixed my issue by putting another ROM on the root of my SD card and flashed it you made sure you wiped the cache,dalvik cache,and factory reset right?? That's how I messed mine up I flashed cm7 to fix mine.. hopefully this helps if it didn't I'm sorry

will this cm7 work? not sure if its some system tweak or an actual rom lol
Download that one and I'm sure you won't need the gapps make sure you back up your current ROM and wipe the dalvik cache,cache,and factory reset etc.. plz let me know how it goes

Didnt work =/ I was ableto run it on first time, but not 2nd.. then tryed wiping and everything else to a new rom.. no changes in start up paterns D=
Damn I have no idea how to fix it then that's crazy I wish I could help you more but i just don't know what else could be wrong LOL sorry

Wholy crap,i'm not sure i want to mess with the reaper crowd,i'm not wanting to die anytime soon,ok guys.Anyway,the best thing i can tell you to do is,either install a new recovery and try that route,or unroot,then reroot,to see if that helps,here a link for the rooting and unrooting... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245649
Normally, if you're having probs like this, it might be good to drop 10 and punt.
Run the RUU for your phone's version, and basically start over. I'm not sure about the newer H-Boot versions, but you may still be S-Off after running RUU. I know on mine, it's that way, but mine is from before Gingerbread
From common knowledge around the root community, that sounds completely like the wrong path lol...
Generally there is a much more simple solution lol.. I know that much..
and nice to see my signatures all over this website lol =D Clearly people like the clean slate Team Noctural sig i created.
I've had a ROM or two in the past do something similar. It would boot the first time and everything worked great but upon reboot would stick at the HTC screen. Try wiping your regular cache and dalvik cache and reboot and see if it will start again.
I was wondering if anyone could help me out please. I've tried searching the forums, but I haven't been able to find my exact issue. Basically, I feel as if my phone seems to have increasing issues with flashing through Clockwork Recovery; here's the details:
I originally rooted my phone using the Odin flash method. I flashed the Juggernaut available at the time, wiping data/factory, cache, dalvik, and battery stats through clockwork first, and letting it chill for 15 minutes with the first boot. I follow the same steps each time I flash another rom ( I've read that I should also wipe /system, but Juggernaut seems to do that itself, so I haven't ). A month and a half ago, I wanted to add a few things, so I wiped, then flashed the latest Juggernaut, rebooted, let it settle,and then flashed the ICS Ultimate Theme, no wipe, then after another settle, flashed the Pdroid zip ( no wipe ) I made with the v1.27 auto-patcher. Everything seemed to work flawlessly for a month or so, then I started having issues that just kept getting worse: phone freezing while installing market apps then unfreezing, camera lagging, random freeze & reboots, etc. I tried fix permissions, and no luck. I wiped and tried reflashing everything the way I had, and the phone kept freezing after the faux kernel loading screen. Installing Juggernaut or another rom by itself, or a nandroid restore, is the only thing that got it past boot. Not even themes flashed over roms that they're made for get past boot. I restored my phone to stock using this method, wiped both SD cards, and re-rooted then flashed Juggernaut again, but this time I used clockwork's wipes and darkside's super wipe before flashing, but I still can't flash anything but the rom itself without a boot loop, even with fix permissions. I had a similar issue on my old mytouch Espresso; consecutive flashes seemed to almost eat away at my phone and make things worse, but that phone also had hardware issues. I'm using a new MicroSD since then. Also, if it means anything, I tried flashing the new clockwork touch from the zip on these forums after these issues started, and it never took, however, flashing through Rom Manager's after I purchased it worked fine.
Sorry about the long post, but I wanted to detail everything I've tried that I could think of before bothering anyone here. Does anyone know what could be the issue? I would really appreciate some help, because this issue is really frustrating, and I have no idea what's causing it.
Could someone help me with this please? I can try and get a log cat if needed. I'm just really hoping to get to the bottom of these issues.
I will be glad to help you out!
One big problem I see is that your not using Darkside Superwipe before flashing new roms.
So I would highly recommend you flash Darkside Superwipe first (clears all cache, partitions, ect very very thorughly) Better option than manually clearing cache and all that in clockwork mod.
Try Darkside Superwipe install the rom and see if you get any problems.
Here's how to use it if you dont know how to:

I'd like to point out that he does in fact use tdjs super wipe.
OP: have you tried other ROMs or kernels. In my past experiences, faux kernel did not meet my expectations so I moved along to another one. Give my configuration a go (refer to my signature) and let me know of the problem persists

Thanks for the replies!
techfanatic9 - I originally just wiped through clockwork ( before darkside superwipe was standard ), but now I use that too, and I'm still having those issues. I watched through the entire video just in case, and I'm doing it just like they say to.
iLeopard - I have tried Digital Warfare, but I still have the same issue when flashing things over it ( ICS Theme and/or PDroid ), even if it's supposed to be compatible, though I haven't tried kernels yet. I'll give your sig's setup a try and report back.
Meanwhile, could anything else be the issue? As you can probably tell, I've tried almost every mistake I could think of, and since my last phone had the same issue, a similar hardware issue seems unlikely.
All right, I've been running that ROM and kernel combo for a few days now. I don't seem to have any issues when I just flash the ROM and kernel, but I get stuck at the boot screen if I try to flash something else on top of it. Also, when I try to restore my text message backups through Gosms ( around 9800 texts that I want to keep ), the phone freezes halfway through the restore, and from that point on, the phone will freeze 5-10 minutes after rebooting, unless I reflash. I make sure I don't have the phone running and I leave it alone while restoring, and it doesn't help. I've only had this gosms issue since my flashing issue, and sometimes it restores fine.
Does anyone know what could be causing that?
