Bootloop - can't install HELP PLEASE

At my wits end to get this loaded onto a second EVO. I have read every page of this and the nightly threads. I have this loaded on my EVO and had no problems following everyone's directions. Thank you to all of you and I love it.

I am trying to load this on another EVO and it keeps getting stuck at the white 4g screen in a bootloop after flashing and trying to boot it up..

PLEASE HAVE SOME MERCY AND HELP THIS DUMB OLD MAN to load this onto the wife's EVO.

Am using HAUS 2.3 reva recovery.

Have copied sd card to MAC.

Have formatted sd card various times. (most current 0 swap 0 ext2)

Loaded calks wipe all zip back onto sd card

Synergy RLS1 NON GOD MODE rom on sd card md5 checks ok

Old ROM was burnt droid

All radio wimax and pri and nv were updated to most current before trying to load synergy RLS1 NON GOD MODE. All was working in burnt droid.

After reformatting sd card - only calk's wipe and Synergy were on the sd card.

ran calk's wipe zip.

wiped all in recovery except sd card.

Flashed Synergy rls1 non god mode.

rebooted.

STICK ON EVO $4G WHITE SCREEN bootlooping with 1 buzz over and over and over.

Anything I missed.

Maybe some devices just can't load certain roms (say it isn;t so). This rom is great.

Please help.

Please come back all you wondeful old mynions to help me . Calling out to all - vanessa, dj, tommytomato, slugbug, lowetax, tuscoval, ageesm, rosoenr, and the many I have missed. Also all you new mynions please help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
If you've done all of the appropriate wipes(cache, dalvik and data). It could be a recovery issue. Try using either AmonRa or TWRP.

If these don't work, come back for more troubleshooting. :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] rrascal:
Thank you for responding Vanessa.

Will try regular amon 2.3 now.

Will report back shortly - Cross your fingers.

STATUS SO FAR

Flashed amon 2.3 - success

turned off phone

turned back on phone - back to recovery amon 2.3 = success

repartitioned 0 swap - 0 ext2 = success

usb to mac

rename amon pc36img - transfer calks's format zip - transfer synergy to sd card

Ran calk;s format zip - success

wiped everything in amon except sd card

flashing synergy now - next post will tell the story

Is anyone else getting force closes on the HTC Widget Download Manager? I get this when I go to personalize, click on scene, then click on get more.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rrascal:
BOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO

Using amon 2.3 with the above results in a bootloop of the white evo 4g screen

NO LUCK _ I Don't get it.

HELP - this is ticking me off. Now I want to get it to work just for the HE&& of it.

Any other ideas Vanessa or anyone else.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Are you doing full wipes and not just running the Caulkin's zip and did you try that other recovery I linked?

You could also try reformatting your card. Possibly removing the partition. I'm sort of a noob when it comes to partitioning the SD card because I'm still not 100% clear why it's needed. I've heard it could cause problems as well.

You could try using another SD card to see even if that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rrascal:
Yes doing full wipes after caulkin's zip - sometimes multiple times.

Have not tried twrp recovery - I don't know anything about it - am reading - I have it downloaded ready to go though.

Could you help explain how to re-format the sd card - ?????????

I thought 0 swap and 0 ext2 did remove the partitions - Maybe somne in th know will answer.

I do not have another sd card to try other than the one in My EVO - Don't think I can swap mine for my wife's - Could cause big problems I think.

What causes the white screen to hang??? Any known cause ie. hardware failure, radios, wifi, wimax, bad memory????

I am lost -
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
I'm not sure what's causing the white screen if you've done all of the wipes and using non g-mode. :confused:

You can reformat the card using a card adapter by either:

Via your computer: Inserting the micro SD card into an SD card adapter. Inserting the combination into a USB card reader or your computer's onboard card slots if available.

Open the "My Computer" menu and then insert the card reader into a USB port on your computer. Wait for your computer to assign a drive letter, ie, F:, G:, etc.

Right-click on the drive your card is inserted into and choose the "Format" option from the menu that appears. Click the "Start" button at the bottom of the "Format" menu.

These are PC instructions. Hopefully, these work similarly on the mac.

Via your phone: Hit your phone's menu button. In the menu, locate the "Settings" option. Browse the "Settings" menu for the SD option, my brain is fried right now and I'm currently using MIUI so I can tell you the exact name.

There should be an option to format the card.

For this, if you have a working Evo or phone that allows you to format an SD card, just format it on there then place it back in the phone you are having issues with. Place all the necessary files on your SD card then try again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rrascal:
Well took the plundge and tried twrp recovery. --NOOO GOOOOOO.

Same result - bootloop on white evo 4g screen with 1 buzz.

Looks like we are SOL on getting this to load here. BUT, I really don't want to give up.

It's the principle of the matter now and at least I want to know why. It would also help others - even If i can;t get the rom loadded at least I would know why.

Not knowing is not an option so to speak.

Thanks for the help - Will look at the format sd stuff and give it a go.

If you think of anything else please post it -

Hey anyone else got suggestions. Thanks Vanessa please keep thinking for me -

I am not going to give up for awhile.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
If this is the first time you have flashed this rom you have to format your sd card. Back it up and then flash in amon
[EVO 4G Android Development] rrascal:
xlGmanlx - Thanks for answering.

Everything is backed up to the mac from the SD - no problem there - I'm covered.

I (probably the dumbest person alive) just don't know how to format the Sd card.

I have partitioned it in haus 2.3 reva and again in amon 2.3, but I get the feeling that this is not a format.

Back in the day (pc's) it was an easy format. Today I am confused especially since I have a MAC.

I think you are saying to load the sd into a sd reader and boot into windows then format the sd ---Correct?

Then do I use fat 32 with 4096 blocks or what? Do I format it as bootable or not?

Or do I look into the EVO as Vanessa suggested in settings and do it there?

The funny thing is that this is my wife's EVO. I loaded Synergy rls1 and the nightly's with no problem an my EVO. I never did format my sd card.

Please further explain - Thanks man I will try anything
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Like I was saying before, transfer her SD into your phone and format it there the put it back into her phone.

In recovery, you want to mount the USB, then transfer only the necessary files needed to flash the rom. Once the rom is successfully flashed, slowly put the contents back on. Corrupt or damaged files that may have been on the card can lead to issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rrascal:
OK - got it now.

Please direct me to where the format option is in the EVO. I am on Synergy RLS1 non god mode and do not see nor can find where a format option exists. (I am trying to get the same rom loaded on another EVO)

I know how to partition in recovery - but this is not format is it?

I know i am sounding quite dumb here but I just can't find it - I guess I need kindergarten instructions for the format.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Please check my other post on where the format option is on the phone.

Partitioning is not really formatting but it will erase everything from your card as well. If I were you, I wouldn't partition anything until you get the successfully flashed. You don't really have to do that right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rrascal:
I did a few times. Am still looking and re-looking at the settings options for a format option. Still no find it.

I have also been searching the forums for a solution to my problem. I have quite a few links bookmarked to read for a possible solution.

Suggestions include:

1 - upgrading the bootloader from the current eng.76

2 - unroooting and rerooting

3 - hardware failure which is unrecoverable

and others.

I have a lot of reading ahead of me right now.

Thank you for your suggestions. I am not able to continue this tonight because of commitments I can not get out of. I will be researching later tonight.

Once again thank you Vanessa and gman. I would like to request the right to request your assistance in the future.

As you all say - Mynions and this community are the best.

Now off to read.

Will update all tommorrow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Please go to Menu then Settings and look though those options. It's there. Possibly someone would be able to tell you exactly because I can't at the moment. :( (I really didn't want to make a sad face but the smiley expressions are rather limited.)

Edit: Try Menu > Settings > SD & PhoneStorage, I think it is. :confused:

In our family were 2 EVOs on this rom. Both at different times started not sending ALL SMS messages. We use these phones at work and need them to work perfectly. I had been waiting for the "Warm" update but it seems to be taking forever. We now have both phones using Mik roms but I may come back when this rom is replaced or updated.

I absolutely love this Rom, I'm running rls1 non god mode and have only had one small issue so far, which is sometimes after the lockscreen it takes about 5 seconds to load everything up, but that happens very rarely, thank you for such an amazing Rom!

Maybe you could try wiping your caches. That might speed things up a bit.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rrascal:
Vanessa,

I am not arguing with you please understand that.

Just to update you, I do not have a format sd card option in this rom. All that is available in sd card is total space, available space, unmount sd card, Erase sd card (greyed out) vailable space internal storage nd factory data reset.

Update: Been reading alot of scary stuff ( how funny its holloween) on my situation suggesting bad nand blocks, heat related damage, and the like.

I am not so sure this is true for me because nand restores are fine (restored phone from nand back to burnt droid 1-4-2 and it booted up just fine.

I did notice on this phone while looking at things that the superuser icon has a green android not the black and white android with bones crossed like on my phone. Also it says that the superuser binary is out of date.

Could this have any bering on the situation - HHMMMMM> Anyone????
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
I didn't say we were arguing...lol. Just trying to help and I tried to tell you how to format your card via the phone and left some instructions. I'm not sure if you looked yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NasTraDooMis:
Welp, its been fun but i think i may have to jump ship. Me phone is lagging out really bad, i can not use any of the kernels for this rom, my batt life sucks bad - from the time of power unplug and with only about 10 min internet usage in a 3 hour time period my batt is down to 55%.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goobertime:
To make it so "erase card" isn't blacked out i believe you have to unmount the card first...hope that helps :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] rrascal:
NO, I know - I just don't want to upset you - I don't want you to think I am not grateful not not listening to your excellent help.

I have looked through the settings on my phone numerous times and elsewhere. I can't find anywhere that says format sd card even though numerous references say it should be there. I think I am blind besides being slow.

Because of this I have read about bootcamp to launch windows on my MAC to format through your other suggestion. I need to set this up.

I have also read about sd formatter for MAC and windows - so that may be an option.

Believe me I appreciate your help and that of others - I need it.

I am searching and have been searching all night and day. I can't seem to find anything with my exact circumstances. I find many that are close - but most of the solutions are to get a new phone. That's why I want to use your and gman's suggestions to format the sd card on my phone and start afresh.

Since I don't have that option on my phone or I am too dumb to find it I guess I need to go the PC or mac route.

I just want to make sure I get the correct format - IE FAT32 what blocksize? Error Corrections? etc.

Once again I have read your posts numerous times because I am slow. I just have been unsuccessful finding the option on the phone.

GOOBERTIME - Thanks for the response - if I use this unmount option, will the option to format the sd card also appear???
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Erase SD is formatting the SD...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goobertime:
I beleive the "erase SD card" is the only way to remove everything from your SD card, I'm not sure if that formats it or not, even synergy doesn't have a format card setting, just erase SD card I beleive...

Sent from my Synergized Evo 4g
[EVO 4G Android Development] rrascal:
Ageesm and goobertime thanks you are both correct.

Sorry for replying a little late.

I (being slow) went to the user manual and yep - right there on page 72 are the instructions plain as day.

Sorry Vanessa - never doubted you just didn't know that unmount sd card was the deal.

I think I am going to head out and get a new sd card or two to do the formatting for my wife's evo. This way I will be able to work on getting synergy RLS1 loaded on her EVO without putting undo stress on her currently working sd card She is currently running Burnt droid.

I will format the new cards on my EVO running Synergy RLS1 as Vanessa suggested. This seems like a great idea. Then transfer a ready to rock and roll sd card into the other EVO with all the files ready to flash and reboot.

Will update this progression after heading out to the store.

Thanks to all and thanks buttons hit
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Sorry I couldn't give you better info but I was in the right ballpark... Lol

Thanks to Ageesm and goobertime for coming through and giving you better info. Being without the phone, I was sort of going by memory which sucks.. Lol.

The 3D has sort of the same options but the ASOP rom I'm running doesn't have the traditional setup options so I couldn't even verify.

You'll get this stuff worked out. It just takes a little troubleshooting and patience. :)

Got this up and running on both of my Evo's yesterday and everything worked perfect with Revolutionary.

and it would not install. I did a full wipe - factory reset/cache/data everything. I gave up and i restored my nand of this rom and it installed but all apps are gone except for the barebone apps. Seems like it restored some data but not much. The biggest issue is the market is completely gone so now i can not even dl titanium or root explorer to access files. What do i do ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Please do not flash roms made for other phones. The rom you are trying to flash is for the HTC Desire HD. Only flash HTC Evo 4g roms. If you can get back to recovery, do a complete wipe and find an Evo 4g rom or flash Synergy again. I hope that works.

I just wanted to take the time to update the many friends I've made here in the Warm threads. As of this past Saturday, I did indeed purchase the iPhone 4S and it is exactly what I needed at this time. I made the initial announcement Saturday evening via Google+ Messenger. I'll continue to pop in from time to time to check up on you all. Anyway, to the person who is having difficulties and is stuck at the boot screen, go ahead and reflag amonRA Haus Mod Rev A, re-partition and re-format your SD card from with recovery and then go to amonRA's wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING on the list starting from the bottom up. Afterwards, transfer a freshly downloaded copy of the rom you want to flash and then flash it. Be patient during the initial boot up. This procedure *should* get you back up and running. Take care everyone.

Vanilla Synergy Theme Download

Does anyone know where a vanilla theme for Synergy is? i know the first page has links for it, but I can't get any to load. Been playing with themes and want to just get back to square one with out having to reset all my icons/apps.

"_Burst_'s Back to stock theme that will get your Synergy Rom back to vanilla without any themes. Similar to reflashing the original Synergy update but smaller."

That's what is in post #2, but the link is dead.

Thanks.

Edit: If I think about it, as long as I don't erase my data, I should be able to re-flash RLS1 and be back to stock...but keep my setup. Nevermind then...

By the way...what is it about the Warm Theme that makes this ROM speed up so much? It's crazy. I love it.

SD card failure after battery dies

There have been about 5-6 occasions where my battery has completely drained because I have not been in a place where I can charge my phone. When this happens, my SD card goes full retard and I'm unable to open a majority of my apps. I believe it's due to a2sd library failure, but I really have no idea at this point. The only fix is to do a full wipe/reinstall, which is pretty annoying to do every time your phone dies. The weird thing is that it ONLY happens when my battery dies - soft resets, taking the batter out, etc. do not cause this issue. I'm currently on a class 10 16gb card, but I've had this happen on the stock 8gb card as well. The card will not mount in any environment (recovery, Win explorer, etc). If it matters - I'm using God Mode, 0 swap, 2gb partition (ext3). Any ideas for fixing this?
