Cameras stopped working...New rom advice? Help! - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

In boot loader it reads...
Revolutionary
Vivo_W XB ship S-off RL
Hboot 6.13.1002
Radio 1.09.01.0622
eMMC-boot
In recovery i have 2 different setups Cm-9 + Cm-10. I have jb and ics gapps ready. Just dont know where to start!! I am currently running cm-9.
Now, so the camera option to record video no longer works and its killing me!! Im not sure if it has to do with the current setup i am running but i would appreciate it if you guys could point me in the direction of a stable/correct rom etc. Thanks alot!!!:laugh:

Try clearing cache and data on camera and/or gallery and then rebooting. Depending on which rom you are using, you may have to set recording to 480. Not all ics roms have working 720 recording.
If you want stable try MROM. Its cm7 with some tweaks. All ics and jb roms have their issues. But camera issues are common. Read the thread for each rom, at least the op, and it should say whether or not camera works or if you need to apply a separate fix.

Desire newbie needs advice

Hi guys, i only got my desire yesterday (bye bye cliq/dext at last) its a uk desire pvt-4 with 40000 errorsize. I had a small problem rooting where unrevoked 3.32 wouldn't properly install amonRA or CWM, in the end i had to use unrevoked 3.21 and i'm now running ReflexTSenseHD 1.8 Sense DHD 2.2 FRF91 A2SD+ OC'd to 1113Mhz. Have tried flashing a lot of the roms available and not all of them seem to work for me. CyanogenMOD7 and Oxygen v2.0 RC7 get to the setup screen and then go into an endless bootloop, whilst DeFroST 6.1a, RCMixHD v3.0 and Amethyst RC7 won't load past the htc splash screen. I have H BOOT S-ON still as i'm not entirely confident at attempting the AlphaRev 1.8 method just yet, could this be the cause?
Thanks in advance for any replies, kingears

No. When your using a new rom, you have to do a factory reset and wipe both caches. If that doesn't work then just reflash it or wipe the /system partition since it seems to work for me. With PVT4 you do need AmonRA recovery since CWM doesn't work properly. You can S-Off you Desire but it isn't needed at all unless you need it doing.
I always wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing a new rom, so seems strange that some work and some don't. I didn't think having S-ON would make a difference.

I don't know. Use AmonRA recovery and redownload roms. Check the md5 to see if it's downloaded alright then flash it. There shouldn't be a problem unless the root went tits up
Will do, thanks for your help

Just make sure you are not using fake recovery from inside rom manager.
I don't get why a lot of people still use that useless app.
I don't use Rom manager, no need for it

me either, it's so easy to use clockworkmod recovery, why do you still need an app?

Kernel Troubles

Not sure if its the fact i am running CM 7 or what but whenever i try a different kernel then there stock everything boots just fine but the touch screen doesn't work. I am lost and have no clue what to try.

If running cm7, ya gotta flash a gingerbread AOSP kernel - try that.

I believe it was the AOSP kernel part that i was missing. I finally got a Invisiblek to install. Thanks for the help.

Invisiblek is the way to goon Gingerbread roms. I've flashed his newest with OMFGB 1.1.1, and it is awesome. No problems snappy, excellent battery too!
Sometimes people (including me) mix up AOSP and Sense, sadly they don't like to play with others if you install them with the wrong rom. Racists, pft.
I have only had the phone about a week now so I have had a lot to learn. So far everything seems good now and I am happy. Now if i could just get better battery life lol.

The link you provided is the EVO kernel. Have you tried the Inc kernel?
Evo: http://www.thebcblends.com/cayniarb/Kernels/evo/Tiamat_Evo-v3.3.3-sbc.zip
Inc: http://www.thebcblends.com/cayniarb/Kernels/inc/Tiamat_Inc-v3.3.3-sbc.zip
The zip files have different contents.
EDIT - I just realized the thread you linked has both the Inc and the Evo versions. I saw that it was in the Evo subforum and jumped to the wrong conclusion. In any regard, make sure you are flashing the right one.
I just flashed
Inc: http://www.thebcblends.com/cayniarb/Kernels/inc/Tiamat_Inc-v3.3.3-sbc.zip
and i am still having same problem. Any ideas ?
Edit: Messing around with rooted phones is something I have just started so it maybe something simple I am missing.
Not sure why my cell doesn't seem to like other kernels but
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905873
seems to be doing just fine so i will leave it alone.
Thanks for all the help.
Have you tried Incredikernel? Kernels are really a matter of personal preference, but Incredikernel seems to be one of the best. (And also my favorite.)
I gave it a shot a while back and had trouble. My issue is that he touch screen doesn't respond. Incredikernel is recommended in several places but i had zero luck with it supporting the screen. I have started to wonder if its support for slcd.
I will try it again and see what happens.

[Q] Quick question re: HBOOT

I installed CM& RC4 last night on my brothers Desire. I then flashed the bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img from alpharev to give him more space for his apps.
Now just for the future i need to know, if i want to install a different type of ROM (stock, leedroid etc), will i need to flash another HBOOT to his phone? If so, does this be done before or after installing a new ROM?
Just wanting to future proof myself here in case he asks for sense back or something.
Yes, the CM7 HBOOT partition table is designed for the CyanogenMod usage. The stock ROMs and LeeDroid need another partition table and consequently another HBOOT.

[Q] [q] i messed up my phone...can someone please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But then my mp4 files on my SDcard would only play sound and no video...and my camera wouldnt display anything just a white screen
please help me xda....your my only hope
thank you

Every one of those problems points to a bad kernal. Try flashing the same kernal again, make sure you wipe only cache and dalvik before flashing.
It that doesnt work, then that means that kernal isnt compatible with your hardware/rom combo.
That's a great thing about kernels, you can flash them without destroying anything. Try a few different ones out and with each one try to demo every feature you phone has and you'll see that certain kernel-and-rom combos leave you with or without certain hardware or software capabilities. But there are enough out there where you'll find one that lets you use everything you need.

Hold down power+volume down, boot into recovery, wipe davlik, wipe cache, reflash kernel

HDMIwin is for Sense 2.2 ROMs. They have yet to update it. Flashing a 2.2 kernel onto a Gingerbread ROM creates problems, such as your white screen camera.
If you want HDMIwin for Sense, then you will have to go back to a Sense 2.2 ROM. I think you can run some sort of app with the Tiamat kernel on an AOSP ROM like Cyanogenmod

I miss SENSE 3.0, but missed HDMwIn more. CM7 supports the bluetooth profile that the SIXAXIS app requires.

Bootloop issue following installation of firmware in leaked Verizon ICS/Sense 3.6

Hey all -- wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue.
So, I flashed the firmware upgrade that nits posted along with the leaked Verizon ICS rom. I couldn't resolve the wifi/mobile data toggle issue to my satisfaction, so I figured I would go to another rom as my daily driver for the time being. However, now anytime I flash a sense-based rom, my phone reboots right after the rom loads up and goes to the lockscreen. It really seems like it is rebooting at the time the radio is trying to get a signal. I tried using different radios to see if that would resolve the issue, but no dice. I even bootloaded a pg32img of the stock rom (hboot .98, which kept me s-off but caused me to lose my recovery so I had to push that back on through fastboot), but I still can't flash any sense-based roms without the phone restarting soon after it loads and goes to the lockscreen. This includes the UKB roms and Eclipticsense. I do not experience this problem with AOSP roms, and I'm currently running CM7.2 without any issues (I can run it with the newest firmware from the leak, and even with an older GB radio).
Thoughts?

Multiple times. I've repeatedly wiped all partitions except the SD card. I generally do this whenever flashing a new rom.
