[Q] Why am i having problems with different roms!?! HELP ASAP

Well every time I try to flash a new rom it just goes in a bootloop. I know that when i create a nandroid backup it skips sd ext. Does missing my sd ext cause major problems and how do i fix it?

Not have the partition is not going to affect it, other than that message you're seeing. Have you tried restoring a known working backup?
This is posted in the wrong section BTW
Edit: You also want to make sure you fallow instructions to the letter and do a full wipe before flashing any ROM.

before this thread gets capped -
im not the best guy to be taking advise from... lol
but when this happened to me - 3 rom flashes in a row, all looping ...
my "fix" was to full wipe twice
flash new rom - let boot all the way until everything gets done syncing "including" any market updates
then reboot and do your kernal, or theme if wanted...
even if you do a nandroid, wiping twice helped me alot...
good luck

that helped a lot ig but i still want to fixc this sdext thing

Im pretty sure you have the slcd screen.Check menu -settings-about phone-hardware information-I bet under hardware version yours is 0003? The amoled is 0002.
Read this thread it will solve your problem http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...nly-see-black-screen-white-bars-recovery.html

To fix the sd-ext problem, you have to first back up EVERYTHING on your SD card to your computer, then you can use ROM Manager to partition your SD card and create the SD-EXT partition

Not having an SD extension is not going to affect your rom flashing. It's not a problem. All it allows is for moving of apps to the SD card to conserve internal storage space, which is kinda unnecessary unless you have a bajliion apps.
Full wipe. Wipe EVERYTHING you can inside ClockworkMod Recovery: Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache (Under the Advanced menu option)
And if you do have the SLCD screen (Hardware 0003) find an SLCD compatible kernel and flash that after every rom and you're gold.

There is nothing to fix. It is completely normal and you'd be wasting space on your sd card by creating a partition that odds are you'll never use.

My bad, they're right, my mistake for calling it a problem, that implies that it NEEDS to be fixed, which isn't the case lol good catch guys

[Q]NEW and i NEED HELP with Calkulin's EViO 2 v1.7.7 and read all the guides

hey guys im sooooo confused gah!

first of all i have Calkulin's EViO 2 v1.7.7 from here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745205 )
and i need a little help
first of all how do i properly turn my phone off
because i have the rom and if i turn it off the regular way it says in the htc screen and i have to redo the rom
second i need help enabling the search button
i know its in the zip but HOW do i install it
can i change the app screen (with all the apps) to scroll down instead of scrolling sideways
and...and....and the info bar thats on the top that tells you the signal and notifications dont work

It sounds like you need to re flash your rom. Did you wipe before flashing it? Go into clock work or amonra and wipe data cache and delvick 3x then flash the rom. Down load the zip for the search button and flash that through recovery like you did the rom and you should be set.

did you try restoring your nandroid? do you still have power off issues with that rom? if not then reflash your rom. wipe data, cache, dalvik. this should fix your power off button. and you ALWAYS do that when flashing a new rom.
to enable the search button, you FLASH that zip the same way you did a ROM.

kk i will retry and which zip to enable search can i get a link? and can i do it at seperate times
sorry for my ignorance but after a couple days ill learn from your guy's help

i have been wanting to use that for ever... and ever... and ever.
so no offense...

touche...
so did the reflash of rom work?

yes to find out it was working all along im just impatient
would you know how to make the search button work??
with what zip?

there is a zip at the bottom of caulkin's op called default buttons or something. that'll be it

thanks ur awesome and your one of the best helps here

no problem... now i need to figure out how to get hulu working on that rom and i will be happy.

ok one more thing can i delete the zip? now

yep. once its copied onto your rom you can delete the zip.

gah sorry im such a noob how bout an app for tethering?

either wireless tether from market (green wifi icon) or caulkin unlocked stock one for use on 3g (not 4g, u need wireless tether app for that)

now you dont have to answer this but does anyone know a good music widget
maybe 2x4 with play,pause,back and foward and maybe album cover

default htc widget? it has full screen and 2x4 versions

yea but i cant find it on the phone

long press on open space. choose widgets. select music (there are two, one by htc and one by android. select the htc one. i think it is the top one) then slide left one and there should be the 2x4 one.

oh yes sorry i know that ive tried that but i cant fint it at all on my phone even doing that

[Q] A noob with no understanding of Oxygen

First of all a lil history of this problem:
My girlfriend purchased this phone a while back, and then i got it from her. totally unmodded, everything worked.
after which i cave it to her friend, which is where i lost track of it.
Now. finally i have it back. and someone has installed Oxygen onto it.
Not having any knowlage of Oxygen i do not quite understand how to be rid of it, seeing as now the camera wont record video on high settings (a feature which i kind of use the phone a lot for)
I have hard reset many times and nothing has helped, my only explnation is it is Oxygen.
what do you guys think? and if so. how do i remove it?

Either install another custom rom(leedroid) via the custom recovery, which it'll also have installed.(You will still have root and the abilities it gives you)
Or run a ruu which will return it to the completely stock state.(you'll lose root)
I or someone else can help you out with both if you chose which solution you like the best.

The simplest thing you can do is find a ROM you like the look of in the Development forum, Assuming you want Sense back, you can use something like LeeDroid, if you quite like an AOSP ROM (Senseless), you can try Cyanogen it has a 'HQ' video function.
Download the ROM(s), drop them onto the SD card, turn the phone off, hold volume down and the power button and it will boot into Fastboot, choose Recovery using the volume rocker. Let it load up, wipe the phone using the trackball and selecting factory reset, or whatever it's called, clear the cache and then click install ZIP from SD option. Choose the ROM from the SD card, let it install then reboot and you'll have a fresh new Gingerbread 2.3.3 Sense ROM with HD video recording or a fresh new Gingerbread 2.3.4 AOSP ROM with HD video recording.

It might help if you read a few guides about rooting and all that. It might help you understand why and how it got there.

I did try installing another rom as far as i can tell but i think i may have gotten confused when doing it.
I just downloaded unroot-desire-froyo-2.10.exe
but unsure what to do with that.
If possible installing one of the other roms would be cool.
"The simplest thing you can do is find a ROM you like the look of in the Development forum, Assuming you want Sense back, you can use something like LeeDroid, if you quite like an AOSP ROM (Senseless), you can try Cyanogen it has a 'HQ' video function.

(sorry dont know how to double quote)
one of those would be ACE, the one with HD video sounds good. I read somewhere its harder to unroot a device from Oxygen, but im not really sure if "harder" means "impossible".
I HAVE done a small amount of research on rooting devices, i just got confused with it all.
I'm used to Jail Breaking iPods which is simple (iOS is simple?)
but HTC is a whole new ballpark for me.
thanks for any help.
and i would need a step by step on how to install Cyanogen

You don't need to understand oxygen, you just need to breath it.

I think it might be best for you to install HTC snyc and run an RUU to put it all back to stock? if you liked it that why, or like others have posted just do some research on installing roms. I have acesmod007 running on mine and it's fab and it is just like stock but with all the extra bells and whistles.

[Q] can you help a noob out?

so i have been reading and reading and reading and mutha efin reading for about a good 2 weeks now and i got the flashing of the roms down and themes they seem pretty easy, but i am still very confused as to which roms are compatible with my phone the way it sits right now. i do not want to go to froyo i love my GB. so here is a pic of my phone settings. if someone could point me in the right direction i really wanna try this theme. if i cant then just what rom to use would be awesome. and also if you could maybe tell me what factors are involved in choosing a rom that would be like teaching me how to fish. thank you in advance.

If you check in Development all the roms are "compatible" with your phone in some way. Understand the difference between BML and MTD and what that means to you and your flashing choices and how to return to stock if needed and the dangers of making a mistake. I am currently using CM7 but have tried CM9 and Clean GB. Those are all MTD and have their own sets of benefits and concerns. Reading in each of them will spell them out but at that point it is simply a matter of trying them out and seeing which you like best.

To use that theme you will need to be on a deodexed ROM. I would recommend the full version of Sleeper or CleanGB 1.12 BML version. I would recommned reading up on MTD before considering changing your partition table and file system:
CleanGB go to second set of links labeled BML version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483903
Or Sleeper, the second set of links on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22289108&postcount=287
Assuming you are rooted with CWM 5.027 already. If not Google qbking77's videos on how to root Samsung Epic on EL30. And also look for the included link to a video on how to install CWM 5.0.2.7.
As for how to choose a ROM the firmware versions are listed in the thread titles and usually all the features are listed in the OP or first few posts in the Development thread.

so just so im reading everything right i should have bml right? and clean gb has a version for bml i could just use that instead of go to mtd right? and thank you all for the help. love learning this stuff.

Exactly. CleanGB had a BML version and Sleeper automatically detects what partition you are on and installs accordingly. When you are ready for MTD CleanGB MTD version will convert you.

Sep, when u are looking at the different roms in the development section, it will say bml/mtd , things of that nature. Or I will only say bml or mtd. On ur phone, excactly in the screen that u posted, it will say mtd in the build number, or such other wise.

It is unusual for a theme to do that. You can reflash the ROM to wipe the theme and check then. It is possible a tower is down near you or undergoing maintenance.

Aha...the old corrupted modem trick! 2nd time I fell for that this week...LOL,

[Q] 3G stopped working

So a couple days I was playing around with Titanium Backup Pro, and cleared a bunch of caches and stuff that it said it didn't need. It screwed things up and so I just restored everything and it worked fine again. I didn't realize right away though that my 3g was broken since I have wifi nearly everywhere I go, but it won't activate. I know it's not the towers since my wife's GS3 is still connected just fine.
The only time the 3g will activate is when I go and tell the phone to 'update profile'. It will show the 3g icon for a few seconds, then it will disappear again and everything will say there isn't an internet connection.
Help!
I'm using FreeGS3 v3 if it matters.

Hey aclays,
A couple of quick questions just so I can narrow down how to help you:
What is your current Rom? Your Profile says you're running FreeGS3.
What modem are you on?
Are you on Sprint or Ting? (I saw some stuff about Ting in your post history)
What recovery are you running?
I'd say you can try flashing the latest modem/firmware (see Freez'a Thread for them) to see if that updates it. Or you can try to reflash your current Rom (after clearing cache and dalvik) to see if you can get it back that way.
Worse-comes-to-worst, you can wipe system, data, and the caches and reinstall your Rom. That'd be a last-chance scenario, in my opinion.

I'd say to connect to Wi-Fi somewhere and force hands free activation

1. FreeGS3
2. I'm not sure =X I looked for the names of all the possible modems that are installed with FreeGS3 and can't find any of them in the phone info.
3. Sprint
4. CWM 5.5
I'm reflashing it right now on your recommendation, so I'll find out in a few minutes if that worked. Doh, forgot to clear the cache and davlik first though. Might have to reflash it a second time.

Hope that works for you.
The modems are typically not installed with the Rom. If you go into your Settings, then "About Device" you can see which Baseband (modem) you're on. In my friend's screenshot below, you can see his baseband is "MB1." You technically don't have to update your modems, some people have reported that older modems work better in their area. I prefer to have the latest, but that's up for debate.

I did the force hands free activation bit and it seems to have fixed the problem! Though now I'm going to have to find that guide to remove the system update nag again.
