Wont boot in to OS after flash

Steel, I really want to try out your ROM but for some reason you ROMs never work on my EVO3D. I wipe data/cache/dalvik then install the ROM, which works fine. On boot I get the animations as usual but when it finally gets to Android, I never get the unlock ring, just see a background and the status bar up top. I can not unlock to get in to the OS and run through the setup. I also can't power down or reset, need to pull the battery. All of your ROMs behave the same way for me, I have tried the last 5 or so updates with same results. If I let it sit it will eventually sleep the screen like normal. I can call the phone and it will ring but I cannot answer it as I don't get any prompts on the main screen, only see the phone call icon on the status bar. None of the buttons respond and I can't drag down the status bar.

However, I can flash Shoguns ROM, which is based on yours and it works fine. I can also flash any other ROM and can get in to the initial setup with no problem.

Any advice would be appreciated.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
This. I have only wiped cache and Dalvik with each version update that Steel has put out. All is running just fine. No issues at all.

[HTC EVO 3D] GadgetMonger:
I'm not the op but I can answer that for you... Nope. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
Only the new kernel from the 2.08.651.2 ROM will work. HTC hasn't released the source yet, so I don't think there are any custom kernels based on the new one (other than one that removes CIQ, which I think steel already did in his ROM).
[HTC EVO 3D] rmaxson29:
The SilverNeedle 1.0 Kernel does not work for sure sends the phone into constant reboot cycle.
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
I believe the OP has stated that there is no need for another kernel with this rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] rmaxson29:
I do lots of experiments this is like my 2nd computer fun to see what works and doesnt.
[HTC EVO 3D] guyver2077:
Anyone else hear a weird noise when unlocking phone on home screen?
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
It's probably the weather sounds. The new update turns them on by default. You can turn them off when you open the weather and go to settings (I think).
[HTC EVO 3D] guyver2077:
Yup. Think that's what it was.

[HTC EVO 3D] ivwonka:
After 3 different downloads and 3 failure to flash, I am going to assume that dark tremors a2sd doesn't work with this ROM. I also assume that we do need full wipe to flash from 2.0 to 2.01 because of the system changes with shutdown, even though the minor changes in the rom name numbers do imply that it is small update.

I just used TB and wiped them. Just did a normal restart and seems ok.
[HTC EVO 3D] chillenandy321:
Yes just wipe cache and delvik
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Did you use HTC unlock?
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
Thanks bro
[HTC EVO 3D] doctor ladd:
That fixed it!
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
Has anyone tried flashing from 2.2->2.3/2.3.1?

Is this method recommended?

Has anyone had any problems going this route?
[HTC EVO 3D] cspen:
I didn't have any issues going from 2.2 to 2.3
[HTC EVO 3D] charbroil:
If you have HTC Music open using SteelRom 2.3, you should see an AmazonMP3 link/icon on the bottom left hand side next to the rewind/back button.

It's purely cosmetics but it's annoying to have a link that doesn't work since I also remove the AmazonMP3 app :P.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
You removed the amazon functionality, not me. If you want that button gone, replace your music apk with a stock one.
[HTC EVO 3D] juggaman:
AmazonMP3 cleared up once I cleared data. Sprint Installer is still FCing even after clearing data. Not a big deal, but anyone have any other ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] juggaman:
By the way Steel, I've been using your rom for a month or two now and I come here and post about how this doesn't seem right and this doesn't seem to work right (always VERY minor issues, btw)...but I don't know that I've taken my time out to say thanks for your hard work and dedication to this/us. So Thanks. What you have created is greatly appreciated.
[HTC EVO 3D] planet_x69:
Delete the app then re-flash that cleared it up for me, as it gets reinstalled by the ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] bilsmaks:
i get the same graphics problems when trying to flash the stock clock back...and if i try the menu to get recent apps back, i don't have any notification menu at all...i think SteelH is looking into this (as i talked to him earlier today about it).
[HTC EVO 3D] chillenandy321:
Just wipe them out of TB and that will fix the FC completely
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
For those who don't like, have issues, etc.. with HTC Music, there's a stock HTC Music in post #3 to cure your woes..
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
i will say it for you.

stop *****ing.

lol
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Sometimes you can get away with not wiping /data, NOT ALWAYS. There is no way to tell if everything will be fine or not without trying it as /data is user specific and unique to each phone.

I always wipe all three and test my ROM. Therefore, I will no longer respond to problems/issues if you have not wiped data, cache, and dalvik prior to flashing SteelROM.

Thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
i haven't had a single issue with your ROMs... honestly all of the issues being brought up are small and kind of just whining.

seriously. if you are having problems with an app... remember these 2 things...

wipe data of said app...

restart app...

if app still gives you ****... reinstall it....

if it still gives you ****, or something is still giving you ****, data wipe, cache, re-flash ROM....

if you are still getting the SAME error... re-download said ROM, do another data/cache system wipe... re-flash...

THEN, come ask questions on here if you are getting the same error. because then you can say for sure it could be ROM related. unless every single person is having the same issues, it's something on your end. not a coding problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] charbroil:
Thanks SteelH. I wasn't placing any sort of blame on you. I knew why the link broke. Sorry if it sounded like that. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Most people don't realize you need to at least wipe dalvik if you remove an app after flashing as its dalvik entry is still there. Titanium backup can 'scan dalvik' and prompt you to remove as well, but that's not always good enough. You also have to manually go into /data/data and remove the app folder.

All this applies to apps that are deleted from /system/app and not UNINSTALLED the proper way.

COME ON PEOPLE!
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
wiping the dalvik cache is obvious, but root ex won't let me modify/delete files in the data/data folder so i just leave them in there. like i said, i never have any issue doing it this way... but i also wipe dalvik
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
This is why I ALWAYS wipe data, cache, and dalvik-cache prior to install/flash any ROM. Thank you SteelH for the newest version and for keeping your ROM up-to-date.

Flashing now.
[HTC EVO 3D] lionmane:
Thanks for the amazing rom. I jumped shipped a while back from Viper rom and I haven't looked back. I had a few issues, nothing I couldn't fix. The battery life is amazing and I'm very impressed.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Root explorer should allow you to if you press the mount r/w button at the top. by default the data partition is read-only to users, but the mount r/w button should open that sucker right on up. at least it does for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Works for me too!
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
strange... yeah i know exactly what you are talking about. the little grey icon, doesn't show up when i enter that portion of the database.

i guess now that i think about it i could just do a complete data wipe to get rid of the stray files... but thats ****in annoying right now since i just restored all my accounts and apps lol.

oh well. if it continues to not give me problems i'll just leave it alone.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
Oh by the way… side note for all of you who don’t use the stock launcher…

You can delete the rosie.apk and all widgets, apps that are associated with that launcher…

Just don’t do a data wipe after you do that. Because your phone will never boot since you just deleted all of your launchers…

Ask me how I know that… lol

Common sense prevails from trial and error. Don’t ask so many damn useless questions and try to figure stuff out. You will learn more about your phone that way.
[HTC EVO 3D] luckylui:
For the sprint installer fc

What i did was moved the apk from the data to system and its been fine... I think it belongs in the system more than the data.

[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
whoa. bunch of white pictures all over this ROM version, kind of like empty PNG files. I'm re-wiping all partitions and re-flashing again to see if it works in the second try. never saw this behavior before. I'm re-downloading the ROM just in case I need to try a third attempt. I'm on IRC if needed as well.

EDIT: reflashed the ROM without wiping again and it seems to have done the trick. weird but true.
[HTC EVO 3D] juggaman:
This worked. Also had to delete swype as it wasn't allowing me to "swype", just type letters. Everything is back to normal and rockin'!

Thanks for the BA rom, Steel!
[HTC EVO 3D] plazaam:
I used the HTC unlock method, then rooted. Does your rom not work using that method? Any help on what I can do to get your ROM working now that I have unlocked using the HTC method.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Not sure, just wondering if that was a potential difference.

Anyone else with HTC unlock method flash this ROM?
[HTC EVO 3D] xhadudkenx:
When I try to text and start typing a name it does not auto find anybody on my contact list. Is that an error?
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
Steel does this new version have the new kernal, i didn't c you mention it, but just wanted to make sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
What new kernel?
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
There is no new kernel. Your probably confusing the fact that the "source" for the latest kernel finally got released. SteelH's roms almost always have the stock htc kernel...

Not a ton of people but a few posts on this. 'All' of which seem to have the HTC unlock in common. In post 828 I mentioned that if I replace both the Fusion.apk and the IdleScreen_Base.apk with the 2.02 (stock??) versions I can get 2.1 2.2 2.3 all working fine. If I don't replace them I (we) are stuck on the lock screen with no lock-ring on boot, even when wiping everything or using Superwipe. Hope that helps. Thanks again Steel for all your efforts, I'm running 2.3 now (w/ the two apk's replaced) and it's zippy and bat life is GREAT!

I've got them in my Dropbox Acct so I technically can but...I honestly don't know if these files (pulled from inside SteelRom2.02) are stock HTC or product of Steel's work. Either way there not 'mine' so I feel like I would need clarification or the go ahead before I put someones work out there. Hopefully Steel can figure out what's going on or give us a flashable zip with the old files in them, that would be very useful to us unlucky few playing by HTC's rules...Sorry I can't be more help, just don't want to step on any toes or play unfairly.

[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:

Let’s try to solve problems on our own here for **** sake. Lol

To this guy^ download another launcher that allows you to customize the app drawer in that manner…

Example: GO launcher, ADW, or zeam… they all allow you to do this.

I’m sure steelH doesn’t want to have to keep doing an update just for **** like this. Lolwtfbbqsrsly!?
[HTC EVO 3D] GadgetMonger:
Try this...

http://db.tt/DmJRkDw

* Take lib from above and rename. Just replace the "zip" with "so", then copy to system/lib using root explorer or other programs. * Change the permissions to same as other libs * reboot

Leoisright came up with this solution. Worked for me. You can also push the file via adb.
[HTC EVO 3D] pbgreat1:
My fault for the repost. Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] peekeesh:
I was able to fix this. Try adding friendstream widget and see if u can add facebook account from there.

If that doesnt work, then u can grab the htcfacebook.apk from older steel rom. Place it in system/app and then change permissions to rw- r-- r--. Reboot then add facebook account in friendstream.

Nah i like the stock one better..

This will work, however, htc facebook syncs to contacts better than the market version. Like better quality contact pics, shows u friends' status message, shoes fb icon too.

Yeah you are right... Matter of opinion I suppose. I just like the huge customization of go SMS.

However........ I will ask has anybody here ever considered inverting the colors on the stock messaging app? Making it black would increase your battery life a TON if you are a big texter like myself. Your display chews through battery breh

This is a beta to test if the recently reported problems that some users are having are fixed.

It is clearly obvious that if you are not having problems, you don't need v2.32. I had to put that in writing because someone will not be able to decipher the obvious.

Please, any users experiencing issues with facebook, sprint installer, sms auto fill, or hanging at lock screen on install report if v2.32 fixes your problems.

Anyone know why google navigation doesnt seem to know what direction I'm facing? The GPS is correct, as I drive, it knows where I am. But the view on the screen isnt first person (ie a left turn will look like a line bending left on the screen). Its as if the compass is messed up or not working, making it more difficult for me to follow the gps navigation visually by looking at the phone? This happens on the 2.2 and previous version of this ROM on my phone.

[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
SteelH, this was supposed to be a PM but since you have it set to not receive any, I'm posting this here.

***

SteelH, first of all, I wanted to apologize for the unnecessary time you *might* have spent on figuring out my problem earlier (the "stuck in wallpaper" issue on IRC). After thinking and analyzing everything I was doing step-by-step, I finally figured out what was the problem.

Somehow I thought that your ROM does not write/touch the "/data" partition and I was applying the EXT4 "/data" tweak AFTER I flashed your ROM. Boom! That was my ****ing retarded mistake. By applying the tweak, I was wiping that partition and, since I didn't reflashed the ROM nor restored the partition contents, the ROM was *half* installed. Thus, the "stuck in wallpaper" issue happened. So, the last time I tried to make it work was when I reflashed your ROM for the second time AFTER applying the tweak, everything worked normally. The only bug I found with it was the one I posted in the thread.

Today/Yesterday has been a LONG day for me and I guess I mixed up whatever I was doing with flashing the new ROM version and I ****ed it all up. I already flashed v2.32 and will post any findings on the thread. Again, sorry for the trouble. Have a nice evening.

***

Kinda noobish of me thinking that the data partition could be wiped after flashing with no issues. I need to rest. LOL.
