[Q] Problem with Rom: RevolutioN 1.7

OK, so I am not new to the xda desire scene,
(Despite the fact that I can't post in the rom development thread regarding this issue)
I have tried installing this Rom in as many different ways as I can over the past 3 hours:
Using EXT3 rather that EXT4
Changing Hboots
Making sure that I have got the correct download (a2sd+/D++)
Wiping a billion times over
etc etc.
HOWEVER no matter what I do I cannot get this Rom to function
When I boot up for the first time, I just get a wallpaper and notification bar.
No touch screen response/button response.
Only the power button works as a method of turning the screen on/off
I assume from experience at this point in first boot HTC's setup program
(or whatever it is) should start and guide me through
linking up accounts/inputting Wifi keys etc.
I have scoured the rom thread and others regarding rom problems and nobody seems to have had this problem of the Setup manager not starting.
As nice as the Gingerbread Screen On/Off animation is I would prefer to do abit more with my phone
I hope I have posted in the right section and I would very much appreciate it if anyone who has had this experience could help me fix this problem and get a working phone...
(ps. The Rom looks very good, if only I could get it working)

First of all try to redownload the rom!!!

And double check the md5

Hey Thanks guys, but..... I re-downloaded the ROM both versions 1.5 and 1.7 (since 1.5 is thought to be more stable) :/ and get stuck at exactly the same place :SSS I'm am abit baffled since I change Rom's alot and have never experienced this before

Did you wipe dalvik? btw your sd card partion need to be at least 1 gigabyte. It worked for me i had same issue as you. First post on XDA

My first installation of 1.7 didnt work and I had to pull the battery and I thought the same thing was happening with my second try, as the screen just went blank after all the crazy changing shapes that happen during boot. However once I touched the power button the setup menu appeared.
I thought this was strange as every other ROM I have tried went straight from the boot animation to the phone starting without the screen blanking out. I know this doesn't help solve your problem but it might mean something to somebody else, who can then help you further.
ps I have been running the ROM for the past week and I haven't had a screen freeze yet. Which has been a revelation for me, as every other ROM ive tried has been really bad for this.

HELP! Installed rom and now earphone doesn't work (or any other roms installed either

I'm not sure what happened but this morning I installed Codename Android's rom since everyone's been speaking so highly of it. I immediately got reboots right after starting. The screen would freeze and then the phone would reboot. I figured there was something wrong so I formatted data/factory reset, formatted cache and even formatted /system and installed it again. No reboots but the earpiece would not work on phone calls (speaker phone does). I also noticed that the screen doesn't turn off when I hold the phone to my face (so the proximity sensor seems to be messed up too). So I installed another rom: Redemption Rom. Same problem. I installed GummyNex, same problem.
I even unrooted and relocked the bootloader and EVEN THEN the earpiece did not work.
I feel like this is a software issue because it happened after installing a rom AND the proximity sensor doesn't work which seems strange for both that and the earpiece to stop working at the same time...
Is there something else that I haven't tried yet? Any suggestions??
I've only had the phone for a couple days so it could easily be a hardware issue I suppose, but I wanted to check if anyone had anything like this happen to them.*
Thanks guys!

Codename Android....if everyone's so highly speaking of it how come I haven't heard of it?
- Which version of the phone you have? CDMA? I'm assuming?
- What kernel?

This is XDA, not Rootzwiki. I googled it. Answer the rest of the questions.
Have you tried flashing another ROM? Flashing stock images provided by Google?

CDMA and stock kernel. I have it completely unrooted and relocked and the issue is still there which makes me think it's less of a software issue. Unless somehow the software issue carried over from the rom?

I tried a few other roms and the issue was still there as well.

And you've checked the obvious that the headphones work on another device correct? Tried another headphone on the phone?
If you fully wiped the phone and tried it with another ROM then it's most likely a hardware problem. And maybe it was a coinicidence that it broke right when you flashed the ROM.
Go into your about phone and tell me what it says for "kernel version"

Yeah I essentially tried everything. Thanks a lot. I was hoping I'd be able to fix it but I guess I have to take a trip back to the Verizon store.
And thanks for responding. I posted this on Rootzwiki and didn't get much help.

Assure you flash stock Google images. Otherwise if they see that you unlocked the bootloader at one point in time they may charge you extra for that.
Check kernel version for me real quick though.

Okay yeah that's stock Google kernel. Most likely hardware problem, just weird how flashing a ROM triggered a coincidence.

I'm having a very difficult time understanding your writing style and need to clarify.
So far as I understand, you originally had Venom ICS flashed from the latest 4ext. After a few days or a week, half of the screen began flickering. I believe you then rerooted the phone? Then you full wiped (so that's system, data, and cache). You then flashed JellyTime R29 from CWM 5.0.37. The problem showed back up after a few days or a week again. Is that accurate?
Have you flashed any other ROMs? Has the phone been dropped or taken any other damage? Have you tried flashing a stock ROM? Have you had any ROMs on which the problem didn't show up? Did you have this problem on stock before rooting?

Assuming you did a full wipe of system, data and cache I can only guess that it's a hardware problem. It persists across multiple ROMs, so that's my guess. See if anyone else has a suggestion.

Wait, you didn't say that before. Have you messed with the auto brightness settings before? Try turning it off; is it still a problem? When you say flickering do you mean the back light? Or graphical glitches? Or something else?

The persistence across ROMs (and I'm assuming that you haven't messed with settings) suggests that it's probably a graphics hardware issue. I vaguely remember someone else having this problem but can't remember who; I'll ask around. Unfortunately I'm not from the Philippines, so I don't know where you can get it repaired.

I think gizmoe knows the answer to this one.

You can private message him here on the forums. His username is Gizmoe.

You can also search for the answer in the dhd and inspire forums, to see if it shows up.
I'm guessing gizmoe may not know the answer since he would have surely posted something in this thread by now. I may be wrong about that as I may also be wrong about him knowing the answer.

Anyone else experiencing painfully long boot times after 4.4.3?

I'm on 100% stock. just rooted. the boot times are really long. I got really worried, so I flashed firmware and everything 100% back to stock. But the long booting times are still there. Just to be sure, I tried rebooting even before rooting (in case rooting was the cause :silly: ) but that wasn't the case. And yes, I have fastboot on.
Other than that, there is no anomaly, phone is working 100% fine, no overheating, no battery drain, nothing. I only had the phone for nearly a month before getting the update, so it might be just me not noticing reboots took this long before too?
Anyone else experiencing it?

Not sure if it's the same thing but I seem to have very long boot times now aswell. I was testing a GPE Rom for a while and went back to sense. Booting now takes at least 5 minutes. Just sits at the white HTC bootscreen until screen turns off and then it works fine. Going back to a GPE Rom seems to fix the problem

Update your firmware and it should work. I have sprint so i was able to find the updated firmware through their forums. I originally thought they were bad flashes, but let it wait one time, it took almost 5 mins to load up. After I updated my firmware to the latest, it worked normally again with fast boot up. On a side note on 4.4.3 roms, I used to think my old bluetooth keyboard didnt work on aosp or gpe roms, and only on sense. Once I updated my rom to a 4.4.3 sense rom, the bluetooth keyboard stopped working on that too. Getting a new bluetooth keyboard today so I will test it out.

Same here. I don't think its a problem related to hardware or software. Just, the boot time is longer. Just that. It is a very huge relief to know that someone else is experiencing it too. I've checked everything I can, and there seems to be nothing wrong while it takes long to boot. It doesn't effect the usage at all too. It isn't a bug, just a little annoyance in case you like devices to speedily boot up.
@memekmek Did that too. I flashed firmware, and everything thoroughly checking my procedure. Nothing seems to be broken anyway, I just wanted to check if others have it too or is it me?

How do you flash firmware when you're not S-Off and do you already have latest firmware for your region (vodap something as I read in other thread)

I used the firmware provided by mike1986 in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282 ... It said that if I have S-ON, I should at least not be able to brick my device...
[I'm actually a 1000% noob in tech, and wrote only what I thought I was doing. I'm sure I must've been wrong. your reply just actually makes sense!]. I didn't want to ask each question on each step, and not bother with my lack of knowledge so I tried to write as much as I understood myself.
I guess it means that my firmware flash was a failure, and that itself is the culprit That clears out a million of my worries.
A little selfish favor to ask of you. Can you kindly direct me to any carrier-specific firmware download place (If there's any!). I'll check it whenever vodap001 firmware comes.
Thanks

[Q] Huge problem!

Hey guys,
Soo my friend has a S4 Mini and was succesfully running CM11, then his phone dropped right on the spot where the (call)sensor is hidden, so after a call he needed to wait for a while to revert back to where he has stopped. So he said to me: ''Can you flash the stock Samsung firmware for me so that I ca go back to the store where I buyed it and I can get it fixed (warranty), I said ofcourse yes, (i'm well experienced with this). I flashed latest KK firmware for the GT-i9195 (LTE), everything went perfect, phone booted up, install wizard popped up, then we needed to activate WiFi for intializing Gmail account. Soooo I wanted to set Wifi on by swyping (you know) that thing to the right (left is off, right is on) but it immediatly went back to the left side (off). So now everything works perfect expect the Wifi, he can't activate his Wifi and that is pretty ****ed.
Anyone can help me, if it was my phone I would be more okay with it because then I had enough time to fix it and try things out, but it is my friends phone so it is difficult.
Please help me, I will buy u a drink.

Flash again and do a full format.
Powered by CM12

1. Install CWM and so full wipes
2. Then install Samsung Stock Firmware
3. Run it and set everything.
4. If Wi-Fi doesn't turn on go to the STOCK SAMSUNG RECOVERY and again full wipes.
5. It should work...
If it doesn't work just install CWM and download the SAMSUNG STOCK KITKAT KERNEL and flash it throw CWM.
You tell me
