[Q] Need Help!! First time EVO Root/CM6 gone bad...

OK....long story short...finally decided to delve into rooting and custom roms. Flashed CM6 yesterday and everything was going great. Then suddenly yesterday evening as I was swiping between home screens on my device everything froze, and I have been trying to recover ever since.
Anything I flash now just freezes, and i have a touch panel-fail so even when i do get a rom to boot i cant actually get into set it to usb mode or anything.
using bootloader i can not get it to connect using the adb driver so that I can push via adb.
about an hour ago I was successfully able to run the latest RUU and it ran successfully, but device is still way laggy (takes 15 minutes to boot) and no touch screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! don't know where to go from here. From what I have read its not bricked because I can get into Bootloader and Recovery???

Just a shot in the dark here, but it sounds like since you're stock now it's an actual hardware failure.

Is there way I can verify that the RUU did indeed flash *EVERYTHING* back to stock?

It seen like you have a HARDWARE issues, Re-Boot the Stock Rom. Call Sprint and explain what's going on with your phone, please *DO NO'T MENTION YOU ROOTED YOUR PHONE* Tell them you try to wipe your phone and it was really laggy before you wipe, since you gonna Re-Boot the stock rom the phone is going to get UNROOTED, I know this cause I work at Sprint... So good luck...

I definitely wont rule out hardware issues...this is a refurb device i just swapped my original EVO for on Monday. I guess I just want to rule out any software issues for sure.
You mention that re-booting the stock rom will UNROOT the phone...however I hav no way to currently re-boot the rom??

Also looks like i can not get into recovery now, when I select the option in the bootloader it just takes me to the screen with a picture of a device and a red triangle

Get a Memory Card adapter for PC or use anything that will let you connect your SD card to your computer... As soon as you put the *ORIGINAL STOCK ROM* in your SD card your phone will do everything by itself...

ok, going to try this now...
I assume I need to load it onto my sd card as the pc36IMG.zip so that i can load it from the bootloader?

you got it...just put it on the root of sdcard and good luck.

Yeah... Good luck... Let me know how everything went..

OK, so I loaded this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874091 onto my sd card as PC36IMG.zip
It loads the zip then says parsing for about 1 second then just reverts back to the HBOOT option ???
Doesn't ask me if i want to install????

Looks like I grabbed only the OTA update rom that was posted on that page. I am going to try the odexed version on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251

I think so, on the bootloader it still shows "S-off" ...doesn't that indicate it is still unlocked?

OK, so I was able to flash the file in the bootloader. It looks like it won't load past the 'HTC EVO 4g' splash screen.
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shouldn't happen, rooting the phone should not cause this problem. I havr rooted my phone many times but it's still working fine. Which method of root did you use and for which firmware?
僕のLT18iから送られてきた

1. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe data. Shut down the phone
2. Change baseband with flashtool
3. Power on the phone
Report if it worked please

It isn't something related to rooting I think,maybe u can try out the following-
1.Check after removing sim for 15 mins and inserting it agn Properly inside.
2.If u have a stock rom backup,restore it and try.Check whether your phone is showing your IMEI number or not.Sometimes modem/radio files get wiped out.
3.Could be a hardware issue.Maybe your SIM tray is damaged - either one or more of the contact 'ribbons' is damaged.Check whether or not u can save numbers to your sim card.
4.Take it to your carrier's repair centre.

Stuck on Boot Screen CM10

Just tried to installed CM10 on my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy II. It's been stuck at the boot animation for over 10 minutes. What can I do? My SD card bit the dust and I don't have the backup I'd made previously. I had the SD card's contents saved on my desktop but no idea where the file would be or what it's name would be for the backup I made previously.
I'm not really a n00b per say. Have flashed CM roms on other phones in the past with no issues. First time this has happened. I've tried doing a factory wipe/reset, wiping the cache and Dalvik. Multiple times. No change. Any help is much appreciated as this is my only phone.

UPDATE: Found my CMW backup files but no luck using them. CMW gives me a MD5 mismatch now. Any ideas? Where can I find a stock T-Mobile ROM of 4.1.2? (I think that was the version I had last)

UPDATE #2: So I am trying to do what's said over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359 but getting stuck at Step 6/7. No matter what it seems Odin will not recognize my phone. Phone is in Download mode as it says to do but Odin never detects any phone plugged in. Any help?
Have latest Samsung drivers but it appears per Device Manager that it keeps getting stuck (the phone) at "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" error. Tried uninstalling device, uninstalling drivers, and reinstalling drivers. Same thing every time. I got ODIN to recognize the phone once but after a few minutes it came back with FAILED.
Wish I could figure this out. More frustrated that I can't get it at least back to stock than anything now.

If you have CM10 installed on your phone and if its stuck at boot screen. Do this:
1. Download darkside-cachewipe.zip from http://sourceforge.net/projects/darksidetools/files/ and copy it to your sdcard.
2. Remove the battery wait for 10 seconds
3. Insert the battery again. Holding the volume keys and power key, boot into recovery mode
4. Install zip from sdcard and run darkside-cachewipe.zip
5. Try booting the phone again.
6. This time it should boot correctly.

Well that seemed to work. I had to do a few other things but I ended up getting CM 10.1 RC5 installed and got to the homescreen. Problem I'm having now is I can't get a signal from my carrier at all. No matter where I'm at. It was connected to it at one point but now it doesn't. It's registering on the network because it says T-Mobile but no bars and no 4G indicator showing up whatsoever. Any ideas? Kind of useless at the moment with no signal.
EDIT: So from another post I have on the CM forums they said to look here in XDA for an updated radio? Any ideas? I'm not a n00b but I haven't modded a phone since my old HTC original Android phone years ago so I'm a bit rusty. My current Baseband is currently T989UVLE1.

Ahh yes! Done. Thanks again. Do have one last question. When I finally got into the phone again it started to re-download all my apps I'd had installed previously. But my wi-fi dropped out in the middle of it. How can I make it do that automatic download of my previous apps/settings again? Or can I?

Not sure if you can do that. Go to google playstore from your laptop and then install all the missing apps from the laptop. Its faster that way.
Me too am a flashoholic, so I create update.zip file from TitaniumBackup app and keep it for installing all my apps from the recovery mode.

Yeah I have Titanium Backup even got the Pro one and my SD card got wiped so it can't restore anything now. I could just find the Titanium folder on my desktop because I had made a copy of the entire SD card just prior to it getting wiped clean.

Wooeesssss

It was perfect, a match made in heaven!
I had the Dirty Unicorn mod installed on my phone with all the modem drivers working, all my software configured. But.... it seems there were some old CWM backup files left on the SD card which were taking up a bunch of space. So i backed up my system and formatted the sd card, and when i reboot i got the "missing modem" problem, where nothing modem related works. After several attempts I was able to restore the ASOP rom and install the modem driver zip immediately after the rom in CWM recovery.
But i was missing all my settings and apps. So i thought hey, i got it to work, i should be able to run my restore again. Nope... screwed, and now i cannot even do the first fix. nothing is working.
o if any one has any tips, i would greatly appreciate it!
Tmobile T889
Running Dirty Unicorn ASOP 4.4.2 (was really loving this rom)
I am getting the "Signal Strength 2147483647 dBm 255asu" issue, and thus there is no connectivity.

Why don't you try looking for your modem online. The phone should be able to flash the modem in recovery mode. Im assuming you have a tmobile note 2 so try looking for tmobile ntoe 2 modems. There is a forum post that has the modems on it.

Alright,
I just installed slimkat (it is 4.4 but only a 140 meg file) and the modem is still not working. Now it says 0db, and i tried flashing the modem.
I also switched to TWRP in case CW was the problem. But this did not work either.
the Tmobile stock version is over a gig, and here in the nether regions of the planet the connection is very slow. So ill have to go to town and have someone download it for me.
I can sing the praises of the DU mod all day long, it is pretty and super fast/smooth! Great mod features and hacks. It was working perfectly, but my SD card reported having only 2 gigs free, and after formatting it has 10 gigs free but no modem function
i cannot even run USSD codes!!!

Damn bro that sucks. I get fast good signal and lte so I would only take 20-30 minutes to download.
I would flash asop roms but I eventually switch back to touchwiz. Mostly due to the fact that I like using my headset and I need aifi calling for certain places. And the last 4.4 rom I had was omni rom but I would lose root. Dn3 rom is the best touchwiz rom but unfortunately no wifi calling

Haha I dont think so bro. Odin should be able to fix it. As long as you havent ota update to 4.3 you should be fine. If you dont need wifi calling give DN3 rom a try. Just follow the post and it should go smooth. Just dont reboot and install mk7 modem. DN3 is cool because it has Note 3 features

that is the next plan of action, but it is going to take two days to download, esp with all the power outages in Nepal

ooh damn that sucks. Hopefully you get your phone fixed

Protip if you don't already do this: especially with frequent power outages or unreliable internet connections, check your MD5 or SHA1 checksums when you download ROMs before flashing them.
On Windows, you can use md5sum in Cygwin or Hashtab (which is a Windows Explorer extension that give you a tab in a file's properties). On Linux, most distros have the binaries included by default.

Wifi Broke xperia s Was Fixed now Broke again

I am trying to get my WiFi working on .96 stock rom and optino to turn on is faded out., Tried resetting many times tried re installing software and moving everything on to stock rom kernel and firmware etc still does not work.
Was originally it was working on .96 firmware but done some updates went on a custom rom and found wifi not working. So reverted back to stock again and now to only find WiFi is not working on it again.
Any one here know how to fix this problem.

Also will these work on other roms?
Flashed to phone however didn't work still no wifi after flashing with recovery program. Is it meant to say android devices updating as i didn't see that happen this time

Where would I look at getting the original one that was gingerbread or first releases as ftf i have is .96 baseband
XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_1257-6919.ftf
Also took phone to shop and they even advised it is some software glitch bug hes had a few people with the same sort of problem and its sony that needs to fix it he was on about some part of the software when flashing is not being wiped out and re applied with new stuff and have to remove the files he even checked to see if the files where their and he said well its not that as plugged phone into a reader and shows the files being removed and re applied from new flash.
What other onces besides the XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_1257-6919.ftf I have is their ? might jsut get every single one of them starting from oldest to new n seeing if any work.

I know its not hardware related as I see my wifi option it comes on and goes out and fades away sometimes when hard resetting settings it will light up but then get stuck again, I been reading more about it and found it to be some bug within it and sony have yet to fix the bug that many devices have. tried reverting back to backed up firmware and kernel and no joy still

Tried going right back to jingerbread on this it turns on starts scanning and then says error. When using wifi tools I get the error wifi stuck and have looked at sonys database and seems many are reporting the same sort of bugs on the xperia s and other devices with stuck wifi and cant turn on not matter what is done or they have tried.

Well I look and looked and looked.
RESOLVED after 4 bloody days.
After a shocking discovery this actually worked. But think it might be some bug that is within Sky WiFi thats resolved the problem
1 went to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.cloudwifi
Downloaded installed. Next logged into my account and shortly after I seen devices available to connect to but their cloud. Shortly after saving my settings phone locked up froze and restarted on me n rebooted and then noticed that my ? option was on for saying WiFi available clicked on it and wifi on powered phone down and back on and still on.

Did you format system before flashing a rom? when doing major update, this step is optional

Emm, i mean format system, it is under mount and storage in recovery. It shouldn't have any problem if you wipe the system before flashing

Will give it a go now and see if this resolves the problem by wiping everything on it then flashing

Still no joy on this. Looks like something is totally messed up in the software firmware or rom not doing as it is meant to.
