Sorry about double posting, but I am getting desperate (posted on Q&A).
Can't find an answer to this on google or xda. Didn't know if I should post this in General or Q&A.
I have been using my Incredible since it came out. I quickly learned about rooting, roms, s-off... with no problems. I have been running Skyraider almost from the beginning.
Here is the problem: A few days ago, I noticed on the SR thread that there were updates for the radio and hboot. So, I went ahead and flashed them. Almost immediately I started noticing the screen becoming unresponsive. After a minute or two I did a battery pull, rebooted, and again after a little while, freeze and reboot. I also noticed that even when the phone is awake but screen off, it would wake itself up. The rebooting and freezing makes it impossible to use my phone.
I tried everything I could think of:
Nandroid restore (obviously didn't work since this doesn't effect hboot or radio).
Reinstalled fresh SR Rom wiping everything, including dalvik, and did factory reset.
Finally, I downgraded back to the hboot and radio versions I had before, still no effect. (Baseband version 2.15.00.07.28, hboot .79 ).
I tried installing another ROM (Uncommon sense) to make sure it wasn't a ROM issue, ..same problem.
Please, any help would be much appreciated. I don't know what my next step should be.
PS, I am not overclocking, just using stock kernel.

try downgrading to completely stock 2.1 then see if it keeps doing it...otherwise I'd say that maybe you did something wrong installing a file and it's bricked...that's what it sounds like anyways

Today it's running a bit better. I'll keep testing it, if it continues to crash, I will take your suggestion and go back to 2.1 and start over.
Just a thought: are you restoring your stuff via Titanium? If so, you may be restoring a bad / incompatible system instruction. You might try this: Do a master reset and restore your important apps (not data) one at a time to check performance. Install data later (also individually) as needed.
HTH!

I did use Titanium (apps & data, but not system). I am currently testing Uncommon Sense Rom. Been running fine last 2 days. Idk why.

Seen this yesterday. Anyone use it yet? Goods/bads?

I would sooo use that but I'm too cheap(internet broke) to buy that. I've always been plagued with having to choose a rom. I end up sticking with one for a while. Like just today I went to MIUI after a month of Synergy.
EDIT: I might be getting this app soon
Sounds like the devs on the app are committed to helping their customers iron out the kinks. When I get my evo back from being flashed I am going to install it and post back to this thread. Thanks for the heads up.
Just installed decks and the express roms.
Booted in to decks, set it up, no issues. The first boot seems to take a while.
Now switching to express.
UPDATE 1 -
After switching to the express rom, I was not really able to use the rom. I decided you pull up the application to switch back to the phone rom.
The application kept force closing. It did this on the phone rom and decks.
I then followed the instructions to flash the update.zip file to get back to the original rom. Now Im stuck on the bootloader screen. When the phone reboots it comes right back to the bootloader.
UPDATE 2 -
Wiped the cache, delvik and rebooted same issue.
Reflashed the phone rom - same issue.
Wiped the cache, delvik, reflashed the phone rom, rebooted - same issue
Wiped the cache, delvik, flashed decks from rom1, rebooted - BACK IN BUSINESS.
It seems that the initial phone rom is corrupt.
UPDATE 3 -
Trying to get back to the original rom from decks.
Went back to BootManager, selected phonerom from the list of installed roms - same issue as before.
Followed the same steps as in update 2 and Im back in decks
I hope to get a chance to email the developers. Takes hours for it to "load" a rom. Then when I try to run it, I get an error saying that the rom is not there. Very annoying. Nothing has worked on it yet. Waste of money thus far.

I have tried 2 different synergy ROM's and have yet to be able to boot into either. After the install process I try to boot into them and it gives a boot.img failed to flash error. Click on the ROM's individually gives a message that there is no ROM installed in the slots.
No response from my email yet, hopefully we can get some answers.
I gave it a try, installed and loaded a rom, it was so slow, I could have flashed n restored back to my original rom 10x it took for this app to do it, it worked the way it was supposed to but takes to long

I tried it for about 10 mins could not get it to work just FC's so hit refund.
Not so sure if its the ROM im running but was not happy with it
Sorry for the delay. After several emails to and from the developer, I flashed CWM recovery :shutters:. I tired to manually restore just the boot.img of the phone rom and still no luck. I then tried using adb to manually insert the boot.img into the nand as the developer instructed. This still did not work. I uninstalled and politely asked for a refund that was granted.
Its a great idea, just needs more work on the original backup of the phonerom, apparently this is a known issue. I lost everything (my fault I know, but i was excited) but I did like decks so much that I flashed it as my daily rom.
I e-mailed their support staff on Saturday evening & got a response on Sunday, which impressed me, so I thought I'd share with you guys what they said.
When trying to install a Synergy Rom, I got the message asking whether this ROM was sd-ext2 or sd-ext4, & never could get them to install (which I'd assume is b/c they all run using ext3), so I shot over an e-mail asking if they had any advice, & here was their response.
Currently apps2sd or data2sd will not work. If you are somewhat savvy with this stuff you can move the files that would go on the sd-ext back to the system or data folder in the zip where they should go. Then make your system.img size big enough to hold all the files of the bigger rom in menu/settings/manually set variables. I'm working on some solutions to do some of this automatically for some of the devices.

That being said, which ROM's are supposed to work then? I wish I would have gotten a reply to my email. I still haven't heard anything back from them.

I have dta2sd and not about to spend time to undo that for this app. However I hold out hope that they will support a2sd in the future (since i bought it... LOL). And I think that they should state that fact up front in the app description.
On the other hand I'd pay/support somebody $3 to develop this kind of app. There are so many cool ROMS out there that I'd love to try out.
Right now I am running MIUI latest and love it.
I have no problem paying for apps. I only ask for the simple things like the app working properly. I have yet to recieve an email from the developer. I hope that they see this thread. Actually, I may send this link to them. I read somewhere that one of the developers is on XDA.
I just want a working app, or a refund. I don't think that is to much to ask.
*edit
Here is the auto-response I just got.

I bought this app...
I bought boot manager two days after release and I have had no real problems yet, I flash a new test ROM almost every day. At first I had some "user errors" and twice on the first day I had to flash the phoneROMs update.zip b/c I forgot that CM needed a flash of google apps... and the app CANT run without authentication from the market... ("Herp DERP")
other than that, I've seen some ROMs run slow. but I figured that was b/c they where sense based and running from the sdcard.
Anyone know how to flash kernels?

Best app so far. Love it. Triple booting synergy rls1 as phone ROM with salvagemod and cm7 in slots. It only takes about a minute to switch between roms too.
There was a thread that got moved to q&a for reason, and the developer did respond.
Will try to flash kernel tomorrow
FYI - I could not get synergy + godmode to work. Without GM works fine

agreed. best app.
I've had the pack-rom for awhile and like it slot. I am by no means a newb to flashing ROMs, mods,APS, and all that other good stuff but for some reason I can not figure out how to take a screen **** with this ROM. Can someone please fill me in on this, thanks.....

i don't have the rom installed right now, sorry that my instructions will be a little vague and won't tell you exactly where to go.
you need to find where the power menu options are. I find it in settings ==> rom control ==> power menu. you should be able to enable getting a screenshot through the power menu there. after that, hold down the power button and select screenshot.
hopefully pacman has that setting in the same place...

Pacman Rom-Blame Tyler errors
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I cant post in the rom thread and none of my searches have been helpful.
I'm coming from 4.2.2 and I've tried flashing several nightlies of the 4.3 update, however I keep getting errors immediately after flashing. The homes creen has not even fully updated when immediately it tells me "insufficient storage", so it wont update any of my apps. On top of that, I get another message that reappears immediately after hitting "ok". It's something like "We're sorry, acore has stopped. Blame Tyler."
I vaguely remember having a similar error when I tried to flash 4.2 and I read that updating the drivers was necessary. So that's what I did, and it worked for 4.2.
Now that I'm having this issue again for 4.3, I'm trying to find out if this is the way to fix it...? I'm a little panicked. This last time I got the error, I tried to wipe cache, dalvik, and restore, but even the restore is not working. And prior to that I might add, none of my latest restore files worked. For example, the last time I flashed successfully was 7/28/13, so I did a back up. Since then, I've backed up several times, tried to flash with no luck, restored with the latest backup file with no luck either. The only backup that will work is the same 7/28/13 file. Ever since then, I have not been able to flash anything successfully, nor restore to any of my latest backup files. Prior to 7/28, I had no issues flashing roms. Now, not even the 7/28 backup will work.
Please help. Not sure where to go from here.
I was running liquid smooth, which was running nice and smooth.. but then the back camera just stopped working. it was always black and would just crash. So i wiped app data.. still didnt work. I factory wipe / wiped cache and everything, still it didn't work. I flashed a ton of new 4.3 roms like the new aokp, slim bean 4.3 , PA 3.99 , and still the camera didnt work..I dont know what else to do. I'm not super experienced so bear with me, please help me out.
try restoring your stock back up or flash the stock Rom and root again

Restore a completely 100% stock ROM. If it works, then there's a problem with the ROMs your trying to flash. If it does not work then you have a hardware issue.
I'm trying, but when it asks me to enter the S / N into kies it keeps saying that its incorrect even though im reading it right off the darn sticker..
cheifsfan645: Ive never learned about flashing with kies but try searching for "flashing stock rom with odin" This is the method I use and there is no serial numbers or any info needed. Make sure you use the correct image, it has to be for your carrier and phone or you could end up with troubles, even in some cases, bricking your phone. An even more foolproof method is to use "Samsung Toolbox" because it comes with detailed instructions and is a mostly automated process. I hope I may have pointed you in a helpfull direction, Im still new to this stuff.

Whoa, I've never heard of that one. I'm assuming you flashed a stock odin image? Maybe try to download the stock image from another source and see if that helps. I've never had that happen to me before.
What recovery are you using? If its TWRP make sure you have the latest. If its not then make sure you update to the latest. I got a replacement device. Rooted it and Rom'd it and my camera broke just like you are describing. I want back to full stock and camera worked. I then rooted it and camera worked. I then talked with friend and he advised me to flash the newest TWRP. I did and my camera came back.
Download TWRP from here http://techerrata.com/get/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-d2att.tar
Download odin from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
Install odin and run it. Reboot the phone to download mode make sure you have usb debugging checked in settings. Then check the PDA box and browse to that tar file and load it and then hit start it will flash your phone will reboot and the camera should be working.
Hi all,
I have an ATT samsung galaxy s3, out of warranty period. My phone's camera has stopped working entirely since 2 months. Its really frustrating! I have tried everything from going back to stock roms then custom roms.
A little history:
- I installed an app ipcam to monitor my baby, I left the cam on with flashlight and was gone for half an hour, since then I had cam freezing probs until one day it stopped working.
- I was trying a lot of options and one day the camera worked only for 5 mins. then when i tried again it was not working.
Please help!
I am currently on android 4.3, Intergalactic ROM 4.1 and MJB baseband.
I also had my sd card corrupted during that same time and have started using a new memory card since 1 week.
Did you try downloading another camera from the play store?
Yes I tired all sorts of camera apks none work....

I feel the file system is corrupted or something but I did factory reset and clean system, cache, dalvik cache, before installing roms so that should take care of it, but doesn't seem to help. I was on liquidsmooth 4.4 earlier when my problems began and I had installed some kernel had done dirty flashing, then I did a clean install of stock fw, but the problem still existed.
I read somewhere that switching bootloaders can screw camera files. So how to correct it there must be something I can do. I need to click my rowing baby's pictures I am missing all those moments when you wish you had a good camera at hand to make videos !

that really sucks, we just had my little man not to long ago and i take lots of pictures. i had trouble with my N7 after flashing an update to the rom the camera from the gallery app was non existent and i could only take pictures from facebook with their camera app. I tried some apps from play store and other areas and i got the message "camera system not recognized" or something to that extent. I downloaded gallery+ with the camera app included and it's worked ever since. Although i only follow one developer when it comes to the N7 (although i use to switch a lot before hand).
i just got my S3 about 2 weeks ago so i'm not familiar with this gadget but.. maybe you fried your camera's hardware? i really hope i'm wrong and someone more experienced can lend a hand. i swapped bootloaders (we could of took different routes of course), played with just a few roms on the S3 but stopped after i learned more about touchwiz (cant believe i actually like a stock based rom :laugh.
sorry for my story lol, did you try the facebook camera (the take a picture option or something like that), i know it sounds silly but again it was the only thing that worked on my N7 besides the gallery camera app. Hope you get it working again! :good:
I tried the gallery ± and Facebook app anything that needs camera doesn't work... But thanks for your input... M glad you understand my plight of not being able to take my baby's pics...
I am on mj boot loader and the camera rear fw I found does null null in sys/class/camera I guess that is the problem.. The system is not being able to connect to the camera ...I don't think it's a hardware issue cuz camera worked for five minutes when I had done a clean install..
I was on liquid smooth before that's where problems started I did done update then installed the previous version... Don't remember what was it exactly
I'm so hoping somebody can help me in this someone who has a better knowledge of how the camera files are laid..I have camera 1.5 in my phone if that helps...

Not sure if this will help but I was on 4.1.1 and I flashed to a 4.3 ROM and had nothing but issues. I flashed back to my 4.1.1 and I got the SAME camera error.
Turned out that that the 4.3 ROM included a bootloader update that was not compatible with the 4.1.1 ROM, it broke the camera.
I downgraded back to the 4.1.1 bootloader and the camera started working again.
Please note that some bootloaders can NOT be downgraded and you will brick your phone.
Thanks for your reply, I'm on MJB boot loader and I guess one can't downgrade from that to a 4.1.1 system so is there no hope for my camera recovery?
Are there any files that I can copy paste to make it work.. ? What happens when the boot loader changes? Why can't we have a boot loader that would run camera on 4.1.1? ..plz guys I know this can b done.. There must be a way...
