[HTC Inspire 4G] derailatrain:
I pulled the battery and now I'm in the HBOOT menu. When it restarted, the boot menu came up automatically. Do I need to do a factory reset? I really really don't want to, because I have google authentication turned on, and I won't be able to get into my email or anything else for two weeks, as my backup passcodes are about 2500 miles away right now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
Yep that's plenty of time. Give it a shot - its not going to hurt you any. Still perusing for an answer. This makes me wish I knew all I have learned when my phone wasn't rooted. I don't know what a stock Inspire can access. Out of curiosity - and this probably is NOT going to work - after you put your battery back in, hold Volume down and don't let go, and push power. Keep holding Volume down for a few good seconds after you push Power and see if it tries to boot, or goes into what we refer to as Bootloader. And you'll know - looks like old Dos from way back when. (Again this is a longshot - there is probably a few experienced users laughing at me.)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
That's where we wanna go! Before a factory reset though, do you have an option that says recovery? Let's fiddle for a minute before you wipe everything....
[HTC Inspire 4G] derailatrain:
It goes into the HBOOT menu when I hold the volume down key and power.

I tried just now clicking on recovery on the HBOOT menu, and I got the red triangle with the exclamation point screen. I'm pretty sure that's bad.

The fastboot option just brought it to the HTC logo screen again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
From Hboot - if possible go to recovery. Again, I have no clue how Stock Inspires look and operate so bear with me, and add all the details you can, specifics. If not too late, does your Hboot have a version number? ..85 or some numbers around there? I didn't think we could get into Hboot without being rooted. Anyways....
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
Hmmm. Does the triangle have any comment or warning? We probably are looking at a wipe or factory reset. But first - do you have the means to go to your Google account and change your settings so that you can avoid the wait authentication deal?

Also : just the other day I did a factory reset on my rooted Inspire from the Hboot menu, and it took me to recovery. So that may be our means of getting into recovery there. I am rooted mind you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] derailatrain:
Recovery gives me the red triangle with the exclamation point.

Here's what my HBOOT screen looks like:

[HTC Inspire 4G] derailatrain:
The triangle has no comment or warning. ):
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
Ok man, let's try this. If possible do what you can with your Google account and see if there is a way to avoid all that hassle of waiting and what not. If your truly pressed, we can skip that, and the next step will be hitting factory reset. That will either wipe right there on the spot, boot you into Recovery (where we will have more options at our dispsal) or simply do nothing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
If none of these work then I will holler at someone with Dev skillz and see if they will pop in over here and put thier two cents in....
[HTC Inspire 4G] derailatrain:
I've contacted google. Their forms says they may take up to 24 hours to get in touch with me about my account. I'll try wiping it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
Good deal. Go ahead and wipe and see where that takes us. Surely Google could assist in speeding it up a bit....
[HTC Inspire 4G] derailatrain:
I went to factory reset, it showed the little installing screen with the green bar, and now it's hanging on the stupid htc logo screen again.

)':
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
Hmmm. Six minutes since you posted - it could possibly be booting. Unlikely though. Let me ask a Dev, I got just the dude if he is on. Hang tight Pal....
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
I sent a P.M. to the most competent developer we have for the Inspire. He's a good dude and he is on so sit tight...
[HTC Inspire 4G] derailatrain:
I tried again and it's still stuck on that boot screen.

Thank you for your help! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
No worries man, that's why we have the buttons! Let me see who else is on.... I'm tapped bud.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
do you have access to a card reader? or maybe another phone you can put your sd card in. if you can download the gingerbread ruu zip and plac it in the root of your sd card and flash from hboot.

Running the RUU from your computer might work aswell but not sure since you get stuck at the bootsplash

Im not the smart dev dyliho was talking about but just offering a couple suggestions before he comes in an saves the day
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
it sounds like the update got corrupted mid-stream.

what marsdta is suggesting is the most logical at this point. use the stock ruu zip file in hboot to reflash.

do you have an SDCard reader on your laptop + an adapter for micro->standard?
[HTC Inspire 4G] derailatrain:
Yeah, my laptop has an SD card reader and I have a microSD to SD converter. The root of my SD card is just the top layer when I plug it in, right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
yes, basically not in a folder
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
Rock On Pirate AND Marstda!! That actually wasn't out of my ballfield.... Guess I had my head wrapped around it a little too much. I have actually never once connected My Inspire to my computer since it has been rooted. Well, my shiz fried after rooting it.

Anyways Good Call guys.

Damn I feel Silly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
What Pirateghost and Marsdta suggested may be one of your only options at this point. Follow their instructions. Unfortunately it sounds like your data may have been lost already but if the phone needed to be returned or exchanged you would have no problems. You may also be able to use the Windows executable RUU program which is the same basically.
[HTC Inspire 4G] derailatrain:
I got it working again. I tried copying the RUU I downloaded from HTC's website to my SD card, booting into HBOOT, and tried restoring it. That didn't work. Then I downloaded and installed HTC sync, booted the phone back up normally, plugged it in and ran the RUU. It works just fine now, though I'm still locked out of my google account--I really hope their user account team responds quickly. I need to get into my email.

Thank you all for your help. I've been freaking out all day over this. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
Great To Hear man. Glad it worked out and all is well... The real miracle here will be Google responding in 24 with anything other than a computer filtered response. I am convinced Google is just a huge robot computer breeding robot computers. I'm not sure if they have any human personel!
[HTC EVO 3D] bl8zeone360:
Any devs out there can help me out with this i really appreciate it. I have been learning more and working on my own roms.

Mostly doing themed and Apps, well my question is what file can cause the rom after installing to only show black display with capacitive buttons lit.

It installs fine and boot animation works fine, then when charging light come on capacitive lights come on, then screen turns black.
[HTC EVO 3D] bl8zeone360:
Please anyone???
[HTC EVO 3D] meatgel:
I've had that happen to me, too. I try to do my edits is smaller increments now. LOL

I think it happened when I added scripts to the init.d folder or edited the build prop. Also, it happened when I deleted some stuff out of the Rosie.

Maybe this narrows it down for you. I do always keep the last working ROM on my desktop, just in case ...
[HTC EVO 3D] bl8zeone360:
Thanks. Yea I usually save the last working as well. It's just a pain flashing over and over.

[Droid Incredible General] davwman:
Not experiencing anything wrong with it
[Droid Incredible General] pete_kowalski83:
It figures something like this would happen....oh well cuz I'm ready downloading my 2nd Rom from incubus lol
[Droid Incredible General] jayochs:
you all realize the best part, right?

it was this time last year that froyo reached a few people. then, it was reportedly "delayed" because it needed bugs to be worked out...and then the rest of us didn't get froyo until the first and second weeks of september lol...was a very frustrating few months back then!

then again, froyo ruined my inc anyway, and there was awful typing lag after my update, so i'd never trust an OTA again lol; gotta love rooting!
[Droid Incredible General] GinNjoose:
hahaha oh man and to think I was going to unroot my phone to wait for the OTA this week.

I have to say, this forum is awesome! I was pretty scared to flash the leaked 2.3.4 posted by Joel earlier this morning but with a few helpful posts I banged it out in no time. Thanks XDA!
[Droid Incredible General] d0nuts:
Should I root my phone again or wait for the OTA?
[Droid Incredible General] AftermathLK:
Root your phone. There is an OTA rom now that is amazing.
[Droid Incredible General] GinNjoose:
Which one do you like best?
[Droid Incredible General] ryryrocco:
If I root my phone and install the leaked version do I need to do a full wipe or just dalvik cache.
[Droid Incredible General] Ed Zachary:
Yes!

(Sorry.... just couldn't resist...)

Really, I would re-root and regain some control over the phone.

As far as the full wipe vs. clear dalvik cache, some have had acceptable results just clearing the cache. Others have had to go the full wipe route.

If you are so inclined, you could try just clearing the dalvik cache. If you encounter issues, take the full wipe approach.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
tried sending pics to my friend who is on verizon 3 times now and none made it to her...i sent one to myself and to other sprint phones and they went thru no problem
[Motorola Photon 4G] coldblooded79:
No problems thus far here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
when was the last time you sent and confirmed that it was received?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tim-tim:
im sending pic now, waiting for confirmation

yea verizon user didnt receive my pic

wife did and shes rocking the evo shift on sprint
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
I have had problems, remember reading its a known issue on Verizon's side.
[Motorola Photon 4G] aaron130:
I have a Verizon iPhone (my company phone) and tested sending a pic from my photon to my iPhone and it went through fine. Just an FYI
[Motorola Photon 4G] coldblooded79:
A week or so ago. My buddy has the Thunderbolt. I rooted it. Yeah the Photon is still better..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mySStery_machine:
S-off, and rooted now thanks to Revolutionary. Will finally be able to move over my Titanium Backup and everything else from the D1 I upgraded from. My question is this, is there a list of asolutely needed .APK files for the phone to operate properly? I know I can remove City ID, Twitter, Facebook, Footsteps, Kindle, VZ Navigator, VZ Tones. What else can go? I would like to get it to the bare bones but lose no functionality, especially of things I use often such as Navigation (managed to kill it on the D1 and had to restore the .APK to get it working again). I will be using Root Explorer to do this so I could rename everything for testing of the apps. Just want to do it right the first time so I can get back to REALLY enjoying the phone. Thanks for all the help.
[HTC Sensation] Lucifer Arcstone:
Well since i'm new and i can't post reply's in the ROM-thread yet, i'll post it here :)

Yesterday i flashed my Sensation to the InsertCoin 2.2.2 (Android 2.3.4) from Baadnewz. (off-topic: Awesome ROM mate, really smooth, incredibly fast and allot of options!!! i would recommend it to anyone planning to flash and root their Sensation.)

There is, however, one little problem i've encountered:

On top of the ROM i flashed an alternative battery logo wich shows percentage indication of the battery in the upper screen bar. Downloaded it from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1201255

The Honeycomb Style Battery with percentage while charging that is.

Now this also works fine, but after flashing it the Android Market Searchbar doesn't look like a searchbar anymore. It looks like a stretched version of my battery indicator logo... (i attached the screenshots below, sry for the poor quality.. don't have a creditcard so couldn't buy the full version)

Anyone familiar with this problem, or does someone know a solution???
[HTC Sensation] Poduy:
in android-sdk/tools there is ddms.bat, run it with phone connected, then under Device->Scren capture menu there's a tool to take Screenshots for free
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
The battery mod you flashed is not made for 2.3.4 roms. I had the same problem yesterday. You will have to either deal with it or do without the battery mod you flashed.
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
yes it has to b like that mate...coz with sensation roms many changes have taken place even from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4....Batt mods are changed by playing with framework-res file...which is mostly rom specific for looks and feel... so u need ur rom framework and batt image files to make it work correctlt...or visit my thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195974

Gimme ur framework file there and i'll make a mod 4u.....reply me on there
[HTC Sensation] NikolaiT:
Offtopic: I see you're using a task killer. You're only hurting your battery life and making the phone slower.
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
Off-topic: you can make a screenshot with power + home. Just saying ;)

Swyped from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
Yeah, you're probably using my mod, which until today, was not available or working for 2.3.4 roms. I have posted the one you're using in a 2.3.4 version, so if you go HERE then you'll be able to download the Honeycomb version for a 2.3.4 ROM, and it should work fine. Let me know if it doesn't.
[HTC Sensation] Lucifer Arcstone:
@ idavid: dude you're awesome! Didn't know that :O

@ gbzbar: tnx for posting the link, i will try that one out :D can i just flash it on top off the battery-mod i allready have with the same CWM method?

@ everyone else: tnx for responding so fast, starting to eventually like this place alltough the intro-video about noobs did scare me off a little bit (while also finding it hilarious)
[HTC Sensation] Lucifer Arcstone:
tnx for offering to make me a mod! i'll try out the 2.3.4 version of the Honeycomb mod first, but i will keep your method in mind if it doesn't work!
[HTC Sensation] Lucifer Arcstone:
Awesome mate it's working perfectly!! Tnx allot for helping me out!

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Protricity:
deleted most of those and got

'uids on the system are inconsistent' every time on boot

careful...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Can you list which ones you removed to cause that?

Also, were you using a theme that you deleted?

CWM backup is vital when starting to mess with this - I haven't had to restore due to system issues.

I'd love to try to duplicate your problem on my phone to find a fix. Thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] enmxscira:
I prefer not to actually delete apps in case I ever want to unroot (though this probably isn't that likely but still) and I understand that by doing so, those apps need to be present. if any of you are interested, there is a free app on the market that I discovered. just search "antek" in the market and it freezes whatever bloatware you have so that it no longer runs in the background and should you want to recover it, all you do is just "defrost" it and it runs exactly as it did before. I've saved loads of battery by using this.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Protricity:
I'm using a custom theme that wasn't deleted. I understand that I could get the cyanogenmod fix_permissions script to fix this, but haven't located it yet.

I stuck to your list before this happened except for swype and a few others.

Wasn't looking for help with the issue, just wanted to let you know it happened. Ofcourse I made a backup before and after.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Protricity:
fix_permissions didn't solve. Gonna restore and try again. Btw I didn't freeze first, I just deleted. Doubt that's the reason though.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I'm sorry to hear that it's not working out so great for you. Glad to hear you did a backup first though.

It might be good to note, and I should have said it at the beginning, I did a fresh factory reset on my phone just before the S-OFF/Root procedure, and hadn't used any of the things I got rid of.

They were basically just deleted right off the phone before it got used.

Keep us updated on how it's going, and as info comes in i'll add what I can to help. Knowing what apps you got rid of specifically could narrow it down some, and what ones you used first might help as well.

Of course, restoring a backup eliminates the problem, and you may or may not be able to reproduce after - please let us know either way, and thanks for the input!

For our next trick, we're gonna dump HTC Sense.

Quoted myself from the kidzone thread, I want to put the info for slimming down my phones apps here.

I'm going to see how the phone runs on just the free version of ADW for a day, then see about coming up with a procedure to remove apps and keep it all stable in the process.

Happy modding!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Also, a thought. Boot to CWM and clear the dalvik cache.

I looked up some info on this since rooting the other day, and after uninstalling apps it's good to do to clear out the old app data. Something to consider - it might solve your problem.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nldroid:
Does the camera app still work after you deleted sense? I wouldn't want to lose that..
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dansl:
I froze "T-mobile Name ID" and everything seems to be working fine.

You might also want to mention that you can temp-root your device, then freeze these apps, and they will stay frozen after reboot. Just, for anyone that doesn't want to perma-root their device right now (like me). It's not very stable to perma-root your device right now. Just read that if your MT4GS dies and your perma-rooted, you will either have to buy a new battery or find a way to charge your battery without your phone... some issue with the HBoot... So till thats fixed, and till i'm sure things are stable. I'll stick with my Temp-Root :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
The camera app still works, but I haven't used all the features.

I would assume this still does work completely, though, because this is only getting rid of the sense launcher, and not the underlying frameworks that power it. (which I hear the camera is dependent upon.)

A solid day of running ADW instead of sense as my launcher has been fine, i'll go play with the camera for a little while and get back to you with a more complete answer to this.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
This had to do with a charging issue using Clockworkmod 4.0.0.8 which is fixed with Clockworkmod 4.0.0.9.

I have personally run my battery to completely dead using CWM 4.0.0.9 and it charged up and booted fine.

Good to know that freezing apps stays after reboot on temp-root, that's an awesome find!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dansl:
Also, just found this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1150805

Post by rmk40, talking about freezing bloatware apps on the HTC Sensation. There are some apps ppl have frozen on there that are also on the MT4GS. I'm going to look through it now and will check back later.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Sinfamy:
The Notes app from:

/system/app/androidnotes.apk

Is that it, or is there more in the /data folder?

I think it may be /data/data/com.marigold.android.notes

and /data/data/com.marigold.android.notes/databases/notes

But I don't want to delete it without being fully sure, can someone verify this for me?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Yep, the camera app works completely. I tested all the modes, and used all the different manual settings in the last option. Nothing was broken, it was all fine.

Removing just the sense launcher and replacing it with something else has no impact on the camera, and I would imagine anything else that requires sense frameworks. We should test anything before making that blanket statement, though, but consider camera.apk to be tested and working without the sense launcher.

That's awesome - while i'm busy re-inventing the wheel, way to pick up where someone else left off. I glanced through there quickly, but i'm kinda having fun figuring this out. I definitely look forward to hearing what you've learned browsing through, and i'll get there at some point.

Thanks clicked on that helpful post!

Yep, you were right on. Delete the .apk in bold, then go delete the folder in bold. Once you delete the folder in /data/data, then your second line about the database in notes becomes moot, since it will have already been deleted.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dansl:
Updated my list of stuff too (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16683780).

One thing i found that I couldn't quite figure out what is was for, is the Com.Redbend.SWM-C app. I've read that it might be used for tracking/analytics or DRM content... i dont know, but I froze it, and everything seems to be working fine still! I read someone had issues with Youtube, but youtube has been working fine for me.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] chrispaw:
thank you for this thread and thanks to dansl too. I was able to remove sense and a lot of the htc bloatware, making the phone a lot better.

I don't know what doubleshotandroidzipgroup was that was running in the background, but i froze it and it seems fine...
