Black Screen/ Useless DInc- Please Help!!

Last night, out of the blue, my Dinc started going to a black screen requiring battery pull to get to anything interactive, then soon after would go back to black screen again. All that would show up is botoom hard buttons and top notification bar but all buttons, including power button were useless. Required battery pull. I am on root running SkyRaider but this happened when I tried to flash Froyo ROM also. I do use Titanium Backup. When you get this far into rooting and trying new ROMs its really hard to tell where the problem actually is. I want to use Titanium, thats why I have it, it would suck to not be able to get my apps back.
Hope someone has some insight to this, or at least how to troubleshoot it.

Wipe
I would use titanium to back up apps no data though. hopefully you have a nandroid you can flash back to, but first do titanium then clockwork and wipe/ factory/ wipe cache/ then advanced and wipe dalvik, basically wipe everything except your sd card. then reflash your nandroid or any rom that you know works. make sure the rom is already on your sd card though.

This really sucked. Tried everything, even nandroid was blacking out on early interactions. I had to wipe everything, including onboard and sd card then start completely from scratch. Good thing I had some screenshots to remember some apps, but it took hours to reload eerything. Best thing I can figure was it was a corrupt file somewhere and unable to weed it out I had to start from scratch.
Prior to that I did all the wipes and did attempt nandroid, none of that worked. Now I'm making backups of my SD card and onboard mem to avoid having to wipe that all over again. PIA!!!!

It almost sounds like your screen is going out. Do you see image tearing before it blacks out? What kernel are you using? DO you have it OC'd?

this is exactly what my phone started doing yesterday! so u wiped ur sd card and it all worked again?

[Q] Evo 4G Doesn't Like to Boot in New ROMs

Most of this info may be extraneous, but I'll throw it in here just in case.
A few days ago, I decided to root my Evo 4G from the stock, 2.2 OS (HTC Sense?) using the Unrevoked website (using a PC running XP). It worked fine and got me rooted. Trouble began to arise when I attempted to install new ROMs such as CM-6 and Salvage. I decided to fork out a few bucks and pay for the ROM Manager Pro app, thinking that it would save me considerable hassle. After downloading the most recent CyanogenMod 7.0.0-RC2 through the app, I selected the "Install Gapps as well" option but did NOT check "Wipe Data and Cache" before letting the app do its work of installing and flashing and whatever for me. Upon completion of the installation, my phone then automatically rebooted normally, but became stuck on the boot image of the android on the skateboard with the spinning arrow. I let that sit for about 6 hours (I went to bed) thinking it was just first-time setup before I battery-pulled and booted into recovery, restored my original settings, and started over. This time I did everything the same except remembered to check "Wipe Data and Cache," as an online tutorial told me I ought to when switching from stock to another ROM, and it installed and booted correctly. I ran CM-7 for a day before deciding to try out a different ROM, downloading and installing it through the same interface, ROM Manager Pro. Everything went well until it got stuck, again, at the boot image. After about 30 min I battery-pulled and tried to restore back to CM-7, only to be greeted by another endless boot image. I was able to restore back to my original backup, but am now back to square one. What the heck am I doing wrong?
EDIT: That original backup I mentioned was made immediately after rooting the phone in preparation to install CM-7.
Sorry my technical knowledge is grossly lacking, I just got into this game. Patience and any help is GREATLY appreciated.

When switching from one rom to another, it is always important to remember to wipe data and cache. There are a few rare cases that it is not necessary to do this, but I really recommend that if you are just starting out, wipe them both for good measure until you learn enough that you can tell when you can get away with not wiping. Also, I know that one common problem that people experience with Rom Manager is that Unrevoked contains the Amon_RA recovery image, and Rom Manager is designed to with with the Clockwordmod recovery. In Rom Manager, you should be able to see which one you are currently using, and you should also be able to use Rom Manager to download and flash the latest Clockworkmod recovery. I too use Rom Manager as a convenient way of making sure that my rom is up to date, and to download roms, but I recommend that when you want to change roms, you do it by booting into recovery mode, and performing the wipe and install manually, as I have found that this method will help prevent errors like boot loops. I hope this helps!
P.S. Feel free to PM me if you ever need any help.

So, for example, if I wanted to restore back to my CM-7 backup, would I want to boot into recovery and just restore to the backup or re-flash the ROM, then boot into recovery and try to restore it? I'm still getting the endless boot image.
Oh, and I am running clockworkmod, as per the instructions for ROM Manager.
Thanks for the quick reply!

Move CM7-RC2.zip and the gapps.zip (or whatever its name; ex: filename.zip) to the root of your SD card by plugging it into your computer via USB and mounting it as a drive. Go ahead and exit all that.
Turn off your phone.
Hold volume down + power.
Go to Recovery.
Wipe the following: data/factory reset, cache, (in Advanced, accessed from same menu) wipe dalvik.
Go back.
Install .zip from SD.
Choose your .zip(s) [CM7, Gapps] from your card, flash, and presto!
I'm not too experienced with ROM Manager as I do not use it whatsoever, but I know the above stated method should work perfectly.
Furthermore,
I'm not sure if a format_all.zip should be used here with CM7. If someone who knows would like to chime in about this, that'd be great.

This is the way I would flash any roms that you want from here on out.
I have used CM7 and have not had to use the format.zip from calk, so I don't think it is absolutely necessary, but it probably wouldn't hurt.
Sent from my DESTROYED Evo using XDA Premium app

I recommend flashing the format all zip whenever switching ROMs. It completely formats the various partitions and leaves a blank slate for the new ROM to be installed. I also recommend using ROM Manager to flash Amon_Ra recovery and do everything manually instead of using ROM Manager. People seem to have a lot less problems with Amon, and I have never had any issues flashing ROMs or kernels or anything with it.
You won't be able to restore a Clockwork backup with it but it never hurts to just flash a new ROM and restore your Titanium backups, assuming that you made them.

Wow, thanks all for the fast replies!
Ok, I now have Destroyer installed and working (finally!), but I am experiencing the apparently common black-on-black text box problem. I downloaded the .zip to be flashed to fix this, but am not sure how to proceed. Do I just do the exact same thing as flashing a new ROM entirely or is there something special I need to do to let the phone know that it is an update?

Not sure with ROM Manager but you can flash that from recovery the same way you flash a ROM. I'm sure there is an option in ROM Manager to flash it, I just couldn't tell you where. Do not wipe anything before flashing that though. Only wipe when flashing ROMs and kernels.

Go back into Recovery and flash that .zip the exact same way you flashed the ROM. Minus the data wipe.
Others: Does he wipe cache/dalvik as well? I've seen some posts say to do that when flashing mods that are flashable .zip and some don't. I've done both ways and seen no negative consequences (as of yet).

Yeah, that last post was dumb, I clicked "Submit" before I tried anything on my own. Flashing it the exact same way minus data wipe worked perfectly, though the prediction boxes for input in the market app (when you hit "search" and start typing, the things that drop down to give suggestions) still appear to be black on black. Bleh.
Also, the Dalvic wipe before installing was a good idea; I don't know for sure if it made a difference but a good habit to get into.
EDIT: By the way, this has got to be the least grammatical/spelling errors in a forum thread I've ever seen. I think I may like this site...

Wiping the cache and dalvik most likely isn't necessary but it can never hurt.

I'm really new to this stuff myself (rooted for the first time ~2 days ago) and so I'm unsure how to further fix the blacked out predictions in the Market. Perhaps you could try contacting those within the thread of the ROM you downloaded, specifically citing that you installed the initial blacked out fix so that they don't redirect you back to the fix you've already applied, testing your patience and furthering your wait for perfection.
Aye, this site has got to be full of some of the most fluent English-speaking persons I've found on the internet.

[Q] Synergy ROM issues

Posting here since I cannot yet post to the actual ROM forum.
I'm running the Synergy ROM, RC1 and have a couple of issues. First though, thanks to the DEVs for all of their time and efforts, this looks to be a very good ROM!
I've been through most of the 200+ pages on the ROM's thread and did not see any information that may help (except turning off auto rotate of the home screen), but it's possible I missed.
The main issues I have are slow response issues. They are:
Slow response when I pull down the navigation bar.
Slow response when hitting one of the soft buttons (i.e., the + button to launch the app specified by the settings in Rosie).
Very slow response when I come out of a game that was in landscape mode. It takes a couple of seconds for the screen to switch from landscape back to portrait (after flipping the phone to portrait) and then another few seconds for it to put all the icons back on the home screen (home screen is blank when I come out of the game). I did turn auto rotate off and that has helped, but was wondering why there was such slow response without it.
Google apps such as Maps and Calendar that are started by another application, but do not shut down the starting app exists. This, of course, drains the battery and was not an issue on the stock rom.
When I flashed the rom, I did do a factory reset and erased all other caches. My apps and app data (not system data) were restored via TB.
I have also frozen the following apps via TB:
Flash
All live wall paper apps
Stocks
Flickr
FM Radio
News
Stocks
Smoke & Visualization Wallpapers
Voice Dialer
Voice Search
Thanks!

When you flash a new rom, only restore Apps using titanium backup, restoring data too will cause problems.

Absolutely correct. On top of this, the other reason you may be seeing slow response would be the fact that this is a very large rom, and takes up more space in your usable memory than most roms. What I have done to *somewhat* alleviate this issue when I'm running the synergy rom is to move all of the apps that I can (except for those that I use widgets from) to the SD card.
Just my recommendation

My thought was that when restoring an app, such as WSOP Texas Hold'em, I also wanted to restore the data so it restored games won, amount of money, etc.
Is that data what you are saying I should lose when flashing new roms?
Thanks,

Quite a few of my apps are on the SD card. I have 313MB free on the internal storage. Should that be enough to reduce some of the lag.

HELP!!! I flashed synergy rom last night and today, it goes to the boot animation screen and freezes. It just shows the synergy rom bouncing around and wont go anywhere from there. I tried doing a recovery through bootloader, but it wont let me move down from fastboot. Did I just brick my phone or is there any other way to get past this screen? can i plug my sdcard into the computer and delete this boot animation and if so, where would I find it? Please help, it would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Give the phone a minute. It will let you move it. I just keep hitting volume down. It will work.

If you can boot into recovery, you did not brick your phone.

I've had this problem before and I don't even use Titanium. I also had plenty of free space on internal. Ram never seems to free up though. It's the strangest thing.

Does anyone else have issues with anything that requires data syncing (Facebook, Twitter, SMS, etc) stopping unexpectedly? It seems to happen at around 30% battery and the only way I've consistantly stopped the problem is to wipe and reflash Synergy Rom.
Any ideas?

Yea Idk what's going on with it after about an hour I would get android.process has stopped and needs to force close. I can't even use any app as that constantly pops up. Great ROM but unusable at this point.

Did you do a complete wipe before you installed it. Most of the issues I have seen arise because a complete wipe has not been performed. If you like the rom, do a complete wipe (factory, partition and dalvik) and reflash it.

This is after a full wipe, twice. Once the battery gets to a certain point, everything starts crashing and never recovers no matter what I do. Battery pull, full charge, cold restart. Nothing works.
Edit: I've also noticed that the GPS is locked on and I cannot shut it off.

Yea I also did a full wipe two different times. I didn't notice it happening once the battery gets to a point I just know that after an hour or so of use it was unusable.

1. If you use DualRomX2 would that possibly speed it up? Because doesnt it install Roms on EMMC?
2. Im also really frustrated by the slow response on alot of things like right rosie button and notification pulldown.
3. Video recording for me is just awful. Im not sure about actual quality but the framerate for sure is horrible. I compared a video i shot on stock and with Synergy and there is a HUGE difference. Synergy video being much worse.
Great Rom just plenty of little annoyances.

Synergy ROM loading issue
Flashed Synergy ROM last week and was very impressed. However, saw where 3.0 Sense items were missing and realized after reading several other posts that the carousel +widgets.zip should have been loaded with the ROM. So I reloaded the ROM and widgets through AMON-RA Recovery (Followed all of the original instructions I had followed the first time I loaded the ROM). Everything looked fine until I rebooted the system. Now Synergy ROM start-up screen loops over and over. At this rate the fill battery I started with will run out, and I'm not sure what will happen at that point.
Anyone have any suggestions for this issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Options:
a) Pull your battery, boot into recovery, format data/wipe cache/dalvik cache/format boot/format system, & flash a different rom.
b) Pull your battery, boot into recovery, format data/wipe cache/dalvik cache/format boot/format system, flash Synergy again, reboot.
c) Pull your battery then turn on your phone like normal.
d) Pull your battery then boot into recovery, wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache, then boot into rom.
Edit: I don't use Amon_Ra, when I refer to "recovery" I was referring to CWM. Hopefully someone with experience comments in regards to Amon_Ra recovery.

Yeah I don't have too many issues with it... last night it got kinda squirrely so I fixed permissions in recovery and re-flashed the Warm Theme without wiping any data, it's been all good ever since.
The ROM is my daily driver... I really do think that these issues are app-related. There is something that certain apps do that this ROM is not built for, I'm just not sure what it is. It's been real good to me overall though, battery life and all.

SlimSnoopOS, as it turned out I pulled the battery and rebooted into Recovery after a few hours, but thanks for the direction. These were the exact things I did. The reason I used AMON-RA instead of CWM is that Synergy says in a number of places that it only loads with AMON-Ra (and I'm a coward!),

Awesome, glad everything is functional again!

Wildfire Random Restarts - please help

Hi all,
I have HTC wildfire for almost a couple of years, recently it started to randomly restart, about 5-8 times a day (the phone is off during the night).
At the time it begun I had OLDWildPuzzleROM_2.2 Froyo v8.0.11 ROM, with HBoot 0.8.
Before the restarts happened I rooted my phone using unrEVOked-3-2-Windoze (it stayed S-Off though).
I don't think the restarts happened right after the root so I'm not sure that is the cause
I few days ago I flashed it with "RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.2 4H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed" which changed my HBoot from 0.8 to 1.01.0001. I found the ROM here and followed the instructions.
I had to make a goldcard (I formatted the SD card using the phone and not using the PC).
My phone continues to randomly restart.
We don't have HTC representative in my country, only non official labs that deal with repair, so I can't go to the company for repair. talking to the lab guy he says it is probably a software issue and not a hardware issue, though I don't understand how it is possible since I flashed a completely new ROM. Oh, and the lab guy says he will charge me whether the repair works of fails....
Do you have any suggestions?
Many thanks
PS
I read about boot loop, I'm not sure what boot loop is, but when my phone restarts it shows the HTC logo as it does during power on or full restart.

bootlooping is random restarting or continuous looping of boot.
reasons could be many......
overclocking your cpu to high.
low on memory (too many apps installed / running).
v6 / supercarger / juwwes ram scripts etc etc.
MokeeOs

So that doesn't apply to me
I don't overclock
I have restarts even without installing any apps
I don't know what v6 / supercarger / juwwes ram scripts mean
any ideas of what should I do?

like slymobi already mentioned it could have several reasons - but we've already excluded a few...
Another idea is to start your phone without the sdcard and look if the reboots continue
Important: flashing a different ROM to solve the issue almost doesn't help if you haven't done a complete wipe/factory reset - it has also been reported (not confirmed, though) that Clockworkmod recovery randomly fails with wiping - so it might also help to repeat the procedure.
Probably slymobi will point to a thread where he explains a complete wipe... (you could search in his threads - I'm busy and it's really hot here atm )
I mean: to be sure I always try to format + wipe + factory reset (sound redundant but feels safer...)

Does "wipe" as you call it the same as factory reset? if so that I did but no format.

In the recovery go under Mounts and Storage and select Format System.
Technically factory reset is a wipe, it wipes cache, data and sd-ext

If the reboots happen because of you enabling 3G I think re-flashing the radio will fix that. (Not so sure on that, someone please complete me)

Thank you slymobi,
but as I wrote above, when I did the RUU thingy I had to do the goldcard procedure and so I formatted my SD card.
Does it have a ROM image after I did the RUU flash?
what is "flash gapps", is it one of the option in the menu? sorry, I'm new to all of this
thank you for your patience and valuable help

gapps is the google apps package.needed for most non sense roms I think
its fine that you have formatted the sdcard at that stage. I meant whenever your performing recovery wipes to be careful not to format sdcard as it does exactly what it says and you will delete all contents of sdcard.

First download the file I attached and this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?lkhsl6hojm7vplv
Put both on the SD card
Flash the first one in the recovery, this will give you a temporary 2.5.X recovery, that goes away on reboot.
Within that recovery flash the second file I put up (the radio file itself)

I feel so stupid asking this, but how do I 'flash the in the recovery'? I don't know the basics, also the 'Within that recovery and flash the sec file' is a bit esoteric for me
I feel stupid since I am an electronic engineer and working with J-Tag and embedded systems
Thank a lot

Flash them both, just like you flash a ROM
Once you flash the first file a new recovery will pop up, within that one, flash the radio file

That's my point exactly, I never flashed a ROM on a cell phone
I used the RUU exe, it was as simple as running a windows application.
Do I have to root the device? and mimic a ROM update procedure to do that?
Or wait, is it by using the bootloader menu that comes up when you press down+power on?

lesicnik I would have thought you of all people would give better instructions. Especially after yesterdays pm. lol.

[Q] need help, daily battery pulls and bootloops

Can't figure out the problem but no matter which rom/radio/hboot I use, I try to turn screen on and find my phone unresponsive. I have to do a battery pull then power on the phone again. Usually this will happen again a few times in a day so I end up doing full wipes and trying different roms and backups. I sim-unlocked my phone last week when the problem started using a tool I found on these forums but don't think that would cause this...any ideas of help would be appreciated as I can't afford a new phone and really love my trusty old desire

Did you do a real "full wipe"? I had the same problem a few weeks ago...
1) wipe data / factory reset
2) wipe cache partition
3) advanced > wipe dalvik cache (< I forgot this one)
4) advanced > wipe battery stats

thanks for reply, yes I did proper full wipe every time. I think my memory card is maybe dying as jellybean roms give corrupt card message.
My problem does happen on roms using stock partition too though, usually what happens is my phone will have a black screen and I can't turn screen on so end up doing battery pull
