I've been rooted for a long time now, but in the last 4 months have not been following xda as closely as usual.
I am running Synergy RLS1 with custom themes and additions (have flashed god mode in the past but didn't work very well).
I've flashed other rom's since then and the front camera still doesn't work. Is this because of some kernel or something?
Do I need to unroot and go to sprint? if this is the case, how do I do that (what pc36img do I need to download)? I have s-off right now with hboot 76.something.. I have all the new radios as well...
I am looking to get 1) my front camera working and 2) speed up my phone, synergy seems to be slow, my camera takes so long to load...
lastly, any roms out there use the volume button(s) to take pictures?
TIA!
did you make a nandroid of your stock rom before flashing any other roms? if so, try restoring to that, then partition your sd card. make sure you move the files you want to keep to your computer first or you will lose them.
if going to stock doesn't fix the front camera, try a different kernel. And partitioning the sd card would help speed up your sense roms.
sorry if i'm making myself look dumb, just trying to help... lol

I did not make a nandroid directly after rooting, just flashed a rom right away (I was a n00b at the time)... sd card is already partitioned..

and if the different kernel or going to stock doesn't work then it is probably a hardware problem and you will have to unroot and take it to sprint if you want it fixed
well there are plenty of stock "barebones" roms, from 4.54 to 4.67 and before, download and flash one of them. do you know if you were 4.54 when you flashed the rom?

if you use things like app2sd and link to sd yes you can put apps to sd. also you can get custom roms that have apps to sd already enabled.
and that depends on what kind of brick. if you get a soft brick, you can try to fix with a ruu, usually as long as you can get to the bootloader you are ok but if you get a hard brick your f***ed. you would need a jtag- used for modifying software on the chip- and they don't come cheap and are not much use without the knowledge of how to use it.
with that in mind though, hard bricks are usually quite hard to do. only times ive ever really heard of it happening is when people flash the wrong radio files or bootloader files. since you have s-off (i assume by xtc clip) be warned that your phone wont give you any warnings if something is wrong or will kill it, radio and bootloader wise.
but. if you are only rooting the odds of you bricking are low, allowing you follow guides properly ect. hope this helps you keep informed
thanks for the fast reply
well i have hacked my psp
like when installing custom firmware you should not press anything or remove the battery and connect anything with it
if you did it gets brick without that there are 5% chance it will brick
so mostly what are the reasons which cause andriod to brick
thanks a lot for helping though
and also can you send me the best rooting method too
the plan.

well, most of the hard bricks come from flashing system stuff that is corrputed/for the wrong phone/ not built right. ect ect ect
with soft bricks it varys usually flashing stuff that then doesnt work is peoples most common mistake. alot of people think that theery brick there phone when they flash a new rom without deleting the caches ect and the get stuck in a boot loop.- a bootloop is where the phone gets stuck booting up an cannot get past it. easly recoverable
the best way to root for you is going to be by getting the clockworkmod recovery image, flashing it to your phone and then flashing the superuser script from the recovery.
so first download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229 after youve downloaded this place it on the root (not int any folder) of your sd card.
then go to the bootloader (i assume you know how since you xtc clipped your device) and your phone should find the pg76img.zip then push the up button to flash it. that should be successful and the phone should reboot. after this go back to your bootloader, and scroll down (using the volume buttons) to recovery. select it and your phone should boot into clockworkmod recovery
now i suggest that you perform a nandroid backup. a nandroid backup is a complete copy of the system image, your rom/apps/contacts/txt messages, the lot. everything is copyied and saved as a backup, so if things go wrong you can always go back to it. i recommend you do a backup before you try anything, just so you can always roll back to it
so scroll down to backup and restore and select backup. make sure you have like 500mb of space on your sdcard just to be sure you have enough space.
after that you will want to go to here http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and download that. same plan again, put it on the root of your sdcard and then go back to recovery.
this time select install zip from sdcard. (or something like that) then select CHOOSE zip. then choose the superuserzip you downloaded and select flash it. when this is done reboot the phone and wait for it to boot fully. when its done go into your list of installed apps and when you see the superuser app you will know your definatly rooted
discliamer as with everyone else here i take no responsibility if this kills your phone, slays a dragon, turns into a wizard or blows up into a neutron star lol but if you follow this guide you should be fine. pretty noob proof.

i will try this btw using the chrager is ok or not?
I used this rom when i rooted my Wildfire S using this root tool. It worked great! Try it. Hard-Bricks is pretty hard to get, and the chance is not so big.

do i need to format the sd card or its ok without it?
It should be fine without formatting if its the one that came with the phone also what do you mean use the charger? A. Make sure the phone has full battery and b. If you mean for transferring the data to the sdcard then yes of course

Remove the SD card while you turn off the phone. Then go into recovery, insert the SD card while the phone is on.

thanks a lot everyone i was able to root my phone and i can see the superuser app too
btw if i use a wrong app or not compatible custom rom or some other stuff will it cause my phone to brick
A hard brick is usually caused when you flash wrong bootloader or radio files.
A soft brick, usually caused by flashing wrong custom ROMs can be recovered easily.
Just read carefully before you do anything with your phone and you're good to go.

I was running Nocturnal Venum ICS rom with no problems. Yesterday I woke up and the phone had frozen. I rebooted and it went into a boot loop. So I odined EL26 CWM kernel and attempted to redo the install clean. I could only get as far as the application installing before it would freeze. I can get into DL mode and recovery just fine, but no ICS Rom will install. From the stock plus root all the way to custom ASOP and AKOP. If there is anyone that had a similar problem or read of it and solution, I would appreciate any help. I went back to gingerbread and I can install them fine. It appears to be isolated to the ICS roms.
When trying to install the stock ICS FE10 I got a failed to install with a status 7 error. I have taken a logcat after the latest GBread install, but I can't upload it.
TIA
Have you considered corruption of one or both of the SD's? Since you can boot, back up whatever you need off of both internal and external SD's, format them both from settings/storage from the phone (only). Copy back just what you think you may need (no point in adding to the uncluttered phone yet) and try it again.
Edit: If still having issues, yank out the external SD card entirely and try it without.
One click odin back to stock couldn't hurt either. May as well make the phone as virgin as possible.
Have you tried odining back to EL26 stock with a clean install, rather than just Odining the kernel?

But, like I also recommended, formatting both of the SD's to clean up god knows what is left over after flashing an unknown amount of stuff from a place you've never heard of before.
I normally recommend a full blown reset back to stock. It's easier that way sometimes.
Actually I went back stock EL29 with root. I will try the reformatting the sd. I did the external but not the internal. What files must I leave on the internal if any.

Once you format the internal, it will be pretty cleaned out.
I would redownload the ROM you want to try, Calkulin's format all and that's about it. Don't trust anything you've copied off of SD just yet. Try a fresh download and install of what you need first. Try installing from the internal SD also for now.
Of course always follow the correct procedure posted for installation of any non-Gingerbread rom. Some have special requirements.
If both sd cards are reformatted and a factory reset is done would you lose root?
Looks like that did it TD. And to think I thought I was getting proficient lol. Thanks so very much for the help. Looks like the apps are loading with no problems. Keeping my fingers crossed lol.

I didn't. Not sure if the ROMs are including root or what. But all is looking well.

Perfect! No telling where your issue really was but there was no point in spending a lot of time troubleshooting it either. So much junk is left over from flashing, I always recommend a full wipe occasionally.
Hey folks
I have had my evo since day 1 and rooted on day 3.
I do not recall what method I used to root or anything for the matter.
anyways, what I want to accomplish right now is to clean my SD
I am seeing alot of folders with nothing it, others with 1 file in it.
Beside that, it's all through my SD card
Also, not sure if it is recommended, but I like to reset or clean out the internal memory as well.
to make it easier, I want to delete everything. like a full format, even if I have to unroot. I dont mind re-rooting and putting a new ROM in.
I just want to make sure, when I flash a new rom, all the stuff in my SD from before is gone!
did that make any sense? if so, how can I accomplish this
(oh and the reason I am doing this, my phone has been acting weird lately. EPST isnt working, tons of force close, im draining battery like crazy... I am seeing new "apps" in my task manager...etc...
(incoming metaphor)
so, like a computer
I just want to format my entire HD, reinstall window XP and have nothing saved from my previous time (except phone # which is saved with google)
Best way is to run a RUU and then format your sdcard

You can format your sd card from within a Rom and will wipe it clean. When you wipe all data in recovery, it wipes your internal memory.

This makes no sense to me atm, than again I am thinking as if this is a PC....
if I was to format my SD card which also wipes my internal memory, than how do I boot back into my phone since the rom got formatted???
I like to format but I also need to know what files do I need to put back in the SD card to run my phone again
When you format your SD Card, you can still boot up and the necessary files will write themselves to the SD Card.
The best thing is to run the RUU for your phone.
Here's a link to all the ruu's. Bookmark this site, btw. He keeps it updated.
http://goo.im/stock/supersonic/ruu
Running RUU means restoring the phone to out-of-the-box condition.
If by day one you mean Evo Release day, then you rooted with Unrevoked. IF I Remember correctly, running the ruu will not make your phone S-On, so you can reflash recovery (I advise Smelkus Amon Ra Style) and then wipe everything and flash the ROM you want to use.
Of course, since you'll be using a newly formatted SD Card, you'll have to put a recovery on the card so it'll be there for you to flash.

as far as root method: I dont recall which one I used.
IIRC isn't Unrevoked a .exe file or app and you press the button and it unroots it for you??? If so, I didn't use that. I had to go through a long way, I remember reading a how to guide with pictures.

Alright I going keep this simple. I checked all over the forum and can't find a sollution. My devs told me to come here and told me no one else has this issue.
Following is my specs. s3, running twrp 2.3.3.1 have sense it came out. I have a 32 gig SD card patriot. I am running super su (note that)
I use TB backup normal. I run inverted Gapps, normaly.
My attempts to fix.
Did a clean install, format system, factory data reset, cache, dalvik in TWRP. I installed rootbox, I installed normal Gapps 20121212, then
Get to home screen I dont reinstall anything except
TB backup, Root Tool box, and updated super su (which might be installed wrong)
anyways I reboot to back up when there done and poof Roottoolbox is no longer there, though icon is still there. Missing app.... icon still there WTF
TB lost its cousin TB pro (key) but TB is there.... wtf
Oh and super su lost its update as did gapps updates
All missing
Also I can reinstall apps restart again and BAM apps missing again same ones same updates.
Is this something I could of done in android comander? I use droid manager and droid explore too..
Never had a issue back on 4.1 jellybam I flased a few roms 4.2 roms..
baked bean, aokp , cm10 tried them now im on rootbox
I did flash the broken jellybam 5.1 a bunch times trying get to work (shrug) dunno if that matters and I flashed from 4.1 to 4.2 a lot of times
I assume some folder got moved its like my system picks apps to move to certain places
OR maybe I installed backed up apps with android comander somewhere i shouldn't so now I can't install them again (though flashing clean install should fixed everything)
Give me some ideas please thank you
I never had a issue that clean install didn't fix so Im worried. I still have old backup on my computer of before the problem started but there 4.1 roms and I don't wana compound my issues so I wait untill I get reply to try anything crazy
I think I know whats wrong I explored a bit and i dunno my data/data folder is FULL of old stuff I guess I asumed it got cleaned out with system wipe in TWRP
So my question is .... assuming im going to do a reinstall what should I wipe to clean out my system folders? I don't want to clean my SD card just the system I want a true fresh install thank you

my advice to you is clean up all partitions by using odin to flash back to stock, reroot, custom recovery and start flashing again. seems like your partitions need a cleaning bud, I'm 99% sure this will solve your problem.
p.s. wiping in recovery is not the same thing as odin back to stock, a full odin flash back to stock will fix EVERY partition on your phone and really clean things up. You can even do a full wipe after the odin to stock to really make sure your system is clean.
also use sdmaid (root app) to clean out your sdcard of crap

use this toolkit to guide you through everything, it will basically teach you how to use odin, I recommend it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665
FOLLOW ON SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS, don't get ahead of yourself, the tool kit tells you what to do.
root and install custom recovery afterwords using the toolkit
once again, FOLLOW ON SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS, don't get ahead of yourself, the tool kit tells you what to do.
once you boot up just factory reset inside the rom, reboot into recovery (toolkit will do it for you if you choose the setting) and start flashing again
also don't forget to reflash the latest modem for your carrier, found here

also, I think you should format your sd card, just back up ALL your important stuff on your PC and move it back after, you will REALLY clean stuff up big time,
-I have to flash modem?
-Do I need a kernal?
-I cant use any of my backups after I do this right?
Last but not least I have my stock backup before I started flashing that isn't going to help right? Whats ever messed up im going need to do this all the way right?
Anyways I figure it can't hurt but I gotta make sure I get perfect directions I can follow but if I have guess on anything im doomed. I downloading the stock file now (I think right one its ATT) doesn't say d2att but I assume ATT means that all 3 recoverys are for d2att
anyways you helped me a bunch using search I know I can figure the rest out im going download everything get sleep and attemt in morning I come back let ya know if I get back to running.
Funny this problem effecs so few apps just a couple I must done something wrong. I don't get how anything can live past system wipe in TWRP... I mean it deletes system files right? They get replaced by my new roms files I thought but instead they seem like they get left over every time i wipe... I dunno why. If this don't work im using my warrenty
how come i cant just wipe data then install a fresh rom off my sd card? or could my recovery be messed up also.... (dam) i guess this makes sense oh well lol

that should help you out, also, the odin flash covers every partition. kernel, rom, modem etc. you will need to flash a custom kernel after your rooted and have a custom recovery. I would do a little bit more research, flash the rom in my sig (my own rom) when your up and running and use it as a daily driver untill you figure things out a little bit more with some good ol reading :highfive:
that was a long download. I know what im kinda doing. I done same thing on my S2 reverted it to sell. The only difference is my S3 is a girl about things. my s2 could take anything.
Anyways I had a long night.. i dunno what problem IS but I think has to do with me having android comander and backing up my APKs to my computer and my phone. and reinstalling apps with bolth programs.
Its so easy to use Android comander that I dunno maybe I been installing apps in wrong places and it finaly caught up to me
Or maybe phone defective.. *shrug* dunno others had my issues too but no fixes really. Nothing solid.
I give your idea a try but I did just wipe data, wipe system factory data and bla bla nothing helps it still happens. the same dam 3 apps too... over and over jezzzz
Thanks for help Im to tired to continue was just waiting for the reocvery to finish later
Anyone answer this.
If I format everything in Twrp all my
system/system/app folders
system/data/app folders
data/data/ folders
And so forth do they get delete and new one put in there place
do they get over written and merge with the ones from last rom
nothing happens to them?
I need to know. And this Full Recovery via odin the guy above says to do will it really get rid of them? all Not leave stuff behind
I think this is my problem if it isn't then its a faulty phone but problems just started so i think its something i did on acciednt
Even though I installed newest TWRP sometimes its like Settings get left over even after a full wipe. Including data (did last night)
Did data, system, cache , dalvik, factory reset, I even formated SD card
Then reindtall rom downloded rom manager. restarted and poof gone and left behind short cut on the desktop
So wtf ? and settings won't stick they revert back default like it can't remember **** its been smoking weed i bet... dam phone
any ideas help or will flashing odin fix this because i don't wana mess phone up worse

I took bolth out first trasferd exSD and formated on my computer... then after I did a DATA WIPE in TWRP which is a format of interneal sd card (correct?)
Just to see if help.. I ran SD maid cleaned up tons of crap... but still having issues... I dunno maybe its the roms and no one else noticed because they don't flash as much as me.... whatever this is going on its weird... Like I said its got something do with data from apps being stored in wrong place so when I update them they get sent to the wrong folder somehow but only some of them get sent there ( dunno ) then when I reboot they gone and I come back and my settings gone too... also when I flash a rom sometimes settings are picked for me already (then if I change them and flash again) they might be different... or I get settings from a old rom.. and I always clean flash btw
Very odd I dunno I going do odin thing tonight just waiting get more info I don't feel like I can do it right now with out Fing it up

Reguardless of what I did to cause this what I don't get is why wiping everything and installing fresh rom doesn't do the trick?
Is there any other way to clean out all /system folders / data folders / root folders of crap and start brand new? beside above post?

Wipe data doesn't format your internal. You need to actually format internal. Cant remember where that option is. Might be in "wipe" or in "advanced" . BUT....it will wipe everything of your internal. What ever you have saved.... Backups....pics.

everything important is saved on my computer honestly I make lots of backups im a carefull person I been reading about corrupt EFS folders, and bad system directories and stuff....
Seems only way fix it go back to stock and go through your folders.... Once im stock again I hope I do this right (im ready to do it now) just ... feel like this could all go wrong
What do I do once im stock? Just wipe the phone? factory data... its the not having a custom recovery (with stock) that scares me so much... I rooted this phone with a program I didn't do it by hand so Im worrried I might not get it right *sigh*
Once your back on stock n rooted install goomanager and installed TWRP again.

Alright so im stock now. with root... Havn't formatted yet (no point) I already did that ... I know how this happned I think..
When I kept going from 4.1 and 4.2 I would get 0 folders so I took it and moved it back by just droping all folders back into the main drive so alll combine. It seemed to work but does sound possible? Would that casue issues with /root folder or is /root got nothing do with internal storage because I can't see it from computer
HEY quick what do I do with 0 folder? delete it all? combine? cry..... hehe I only got 1 but what do I do with it thanks
I wana make sure I fixed now

use this toolkit to guide you through everything, it will basically teach you how to use odin, I recommend it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665
FOLLOW ON SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS, don't get ahead of yourself, the tool kit tells you what to do.
root and install custom recovery afterwords using the toolkit
once again, FOLLOW ON SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS, don't get ahead of yourself, the tool kit tells you what to do.
once you boot up just factory reset inside the rom, reboot into recovery (toolkit will do it for you if you choose the setting) and start flashing again
also don't forget to reflash the latest modem for your carrier, found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
also, I think you should format your sd card, just back up ALL your important stuff on your PC and move it back after, you will REALLY clean stuff up big time,

Thanks dude most people arn't that nice to explain everything to me
