I'm having a little trouble with the new Sith 2 Rom. I was wondering if, hopefully an expert, is willing to chat with me and give me some support.
Details:
--Rom is Flashed but when I do any type of shutdown/reboot. It freezes
--When I try to load up TWRP Recov.. It freezes on the logo
--When I do get in the menu if lucky, any action I do freezes
Note:
I did have ClockWork when I first flashed Sith 2, but I still had the same issues. So I installed TWRP to re-flash but I never got the chance to try.
---------------------------------------
Update:
--Flashed TWRP 2.2 and fixed all problems.
Just thought I'd mention it since there's always a possibility that I may not be the only one with the issue.

Ladies and gents.
First, I realize Saturday is probably not the best day to have an issue, so I appreciate any input I can get.
First, I'm running a rooted (toast method) evo, currently on CM7.
For the longest time, I didn't change roms, and then updated to CM7 a couple of months ago (iirc).
Shortly thereafter, I began experiencing random reboots, my phone getting extremely hot, and sitting through bootloops upon startup.
After upgrading my radio, nothing was solved. I downloaded another CM7 clean and flashed it. Same issues.
I download a Fresh Rom, and was unable to even flash it after wiping continuously.
I nanroided back to my CM7, of course with the same instability issues.
Then I nandroided back to the ROM (damage control, iirc) I had (that was perfectly stable at the time for nearly 1 year) before CM7, and I barely got it booted all the way through before it reset and started looping.
I don't know if it's a hardware issue or a software issue, but I can't flash another ROM to find out.
I was going to unroot today and take it down to Sprint. Of course, I can't get the dadgum thing to restart in a stable manner, so I was going to move the PC36IMG file to my SD card via ClockwordMod recovery.
I get in to the bootloader and choose recovery. My phone resets like normal before entering recovery, except now it enters a bootloop.
Pulled the battery, tried again. Same result.
So if you have any thoughts on any of the issues above (in particular the CM7 stability issues or the recovery issue) I'd love to hear them.

Try running a RUU from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
[Hint, don't run 4.24.651.1 or you'll lose root ]
Since you rooted using Toast's method, I doubt you ever ran unrevoked forever. So run the 3.70 RUU or lower. If you can get into recovery, I'd flash unrevoked forever just to be safe.
Unfortunately your issue sounds like a mixture of problems I've seen others have. If this is the case, worst case scenario is that you'll never be able to boot your phone again if the issues continue... you'll constantly loop regardless of running RUUs, etc. Best case scenario is that you'll always have the bootlooping/overheating issue and eventually have to get a replacement.
Again, these best/worse case scenarios are based on what I've seen others experience. Hopefully the RUU will fix your problems.
Good luck!

Good Afternoon,
I flashed my phone with a bunch of stuff a few weeks ago, and it's been running spectacularly, but the past few days, I've been having some issues getting my phone to boot completely. ADW would keep force closing, and my phone would randomly reboot, and I'd sometimes need to battery-pull to restart it from being frozen completely. Also, my volume buttons no longer work, and the screen occasionally goes 4-split screen from the keyboard opening ( I'm assuming flex ribbon ). Now today, after the the splash screen, the phone screen just goes black and stays like that. From reading around, I think I know what the problem is, but I was wondering if anyone more knowledgable could give some insight as well, specifically, if there's any chance it could be a software issue and **crosses fingers** not a hardware issue. I attached what I could get of the adb logcat.
Also, if it helps, here's some info about my phone:
Rooted & S-Off, with newest radio
Rom: nickmcminn60's XM-8 Vr 1.1
Kernel: Miguel's
Mods: darktremor A2SD & ?Firerat's? Custom MTD Partition
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
1) don't use Miguel's kernel with these latest builds.
2) did you fix permission with rom manager to help with fc's.
3) I don't think this will fix the screen issues, that's is mostly hardware related.

Thanks for the help! I hadn't done fix permissions yet, as last time it somehow broke my rom. Unfortunately, I tried doing a nandroid backup first, yesterday morning before trying fixing permissions, and after my phone finished and rebooted, the phone just froze, and I couldn't reboot into recovery ( my volume buttons don't work ), and after a few reboot attempts, my screen died. I'm going to try ADBing into it tonight if I can.
In case I can get it fixed though, what kernels should I be using instead? I tried drowningchild's, but I seemed to have fewer issues with Miguel's.
Use stock cm kernel when using cm roms if using sense I believe nbetcher has a good kernel

I've been trying to figure out for the last hour or so why this rom hasn't been flashing correctly.
1. I've already loaded DZ HBoot onto the phone with S-OFF and had loaded the SenseGinger 3.0 Rom. Loved the layout but it was kinda slow for me. So that's when i was looking up other roms and found RunnyDrOiD v5.0 By PVTEAM.
2. next thing I did was download the Rom Manager, Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery sucessfully and selected install rom from sd card, (in which I had loaded the RunnyDroid rom on my sd card already.
3. Im in Recovery, wiped data, and the installation started. The problem I'm facing is that the installation says it was sucessful and says Rebooting, but the progress bar in the background is still going (looks like it was at 25%). Phone Reboots. Now it'll first start up with the HTC Logo, shuts off, then reboots again with the HTC Logo then goes back to clockworkmod recovery. I attempted to do it again, but still have the same results.
Anyone have any idea that I'm facing this problem? I really hope I can get this on my phone as the RunnyDroid rom looks really clean looking, and with other users reporting it to be fast, It's driving me nuts that I can test this rom out! *sad panda*
Anyone's help or support is greatly appreciated.
actually lock this thread. found out what the problem was. I flashed the wrong hboot. Be sure to use the DZ HBOOT FOR ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. Thank you all anyway.
Hi there!
I installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912187
with basbeand 77 instead of the recommended ones, and it appeared to work just fine for two days.
Today, I installed the LBE Guard, and so my Desire was stuck in bootloop, which I could get out of after a fullwipe and a new install.
So, then, I installed the LBE privace Master (v4.3.2738),
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422479
because I read it was okay for JB. While configuring it, my phone crashed, and I was again stuck in a bootloop. I tried to make a fullwipe again, and a new install, but I have still these random (but appearing soon after booting) crashings and then a bootloop. It even appears when I use the Aroma Installer, but not in the CWM.
So my question is - what went wrong and more importantly, how do I get my phone to work again?
Thanks for replying.
The part with the baseband is wrong - that was my other phone.
I am quite the noob-cookie, I also have the problem with random reboots and freezes. I have been messing around with the new Nikez 4.2 Jellybean Rom, i thought that could be the reason why. But now I am also experiencing it with the old Nikez 4.1 Rom that used to be very stable for me. Anyone know a good solution? I have done several full wipes..
Cheers!
New to the world of Custom ROMs. A week ago I installed CM 13 which took great courage on my part and wanted to share my experience, issues and discuss possible solutions.
My phone had the latest lollipop on it. And McCafee locked. The steps that worked for me where
1) Did a factory reset and bumped into mccafee.
2) Tried download mode but kill switch was enabled.
3) Rebooted the phone to face mccafee, tried 123465 pin which worked.
4) Disengaged McCafee but not before transferring ownership to my email.
5) Tried rooting didnt work with any method.
6) Rolled back to d software version stock lollipop.
7) Rooted with PurpleDrake
8) Replaced with CM recovery didnt work.
9) Replaced with TWRP and rebooted directly to recovery
10) Installed CM and gapps mini. Worked fine. Voila!
Issues:
1) No Custom recovery sticks, whenever I flash with a custom recovery like TWRP or Clockwork. I have to reboot into recovery immediately or the custom recovery is replaced by stock. It happens on every second reboot.
My concern is here if I get stuck into bootloop and dont have a custom recovery I might not have any other option than the stock ROM which does a full reset. How can make TWRP stick forever?
2) After installation of Custom ROM there have been random reboots, I suspect there is something here with phone app or voice. So far the reboots have been when I try to call using fb messenger, appear.in and phone app itself.
Is there a guide that tells me how to track this down?
Can I install a newer Nightly and hope this get fixed?
How can I retain my apps and data when installing a newer nightly? since all guides ask to wipe everything :S
I have a backup of system and data partitions, can I use that with other ROMs.
What ROMs have a better chance of fixing this issue?
Coudnt find Stock M for D850. Why arent those available?
Should an Official ROM be more reliable than CM for this?
3) Bad signal reception so far. It may be a generic g3 issue.
Can I hope that this issue be fixed with a different ROM or updates from Cynogen?
Someone said you may have to flash the radio partition. My question is where can I get a brief understanding of what partitions there are in android and which are risky. Which ones can be replaced, backedup and replaced back.
4) Whenever the phone reboots, it gets stuck into bootloop unless I remove the SIM card. Then I power off and install SIM Card and reboot and it boots fine.
I am already tracking CM changelog for something important. Cant post urls as of now :S
