[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Android Manual:
when you first had the phone it won't boot right? but when you tried fixing the battery connection thingy (sorry I don't know whats it called :D )

it booted and ran again?

have you tried doing a factory reset?

Power button+volume rocker down (volume down button) :) to boot into bootloader mode then do a factory reset maybe that would work ? :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OR

or sending the phone to HTC would help bud but you have to pay them for that if they get to fix it you got yourself a new toy! :D

sorry bro I'm no dev so I don't know that much when you were tryin to flash the "stock rom" did you flash the one for the G2 or the Desire Z?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helstonrampersad:
I still appreciate your help bro and i was trying to flash the stock rom for the g2, i made sure of it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Would probably have to stick to the original Stock RUU update since you're S-ON (would need S-OFF for any kind of custom recovery, kernel, unsigned packages, etc), so would have to use a signed full package from T-Mobile, I don't know much bout that because I usually have my phones rooted and away from stock as fast as I can.

What stock rom did you find before? links?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helstonrampersad:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision

Thats is the above link i used and i used all the ones that start with "PC10" I rename them to PC10IMG.zip so the phone can recognize it and it did. The only problem is that after it tries to install is say something along the lines of version is older or newer since i tried multiple packages. One package was going through the process and after that it didn't do anything, it didnt say failed or reboot or anything like that. Ive been trying to fix this for like a week and a half now. Ive even flashed custom PC10IMG.zip to see if it could help but nothing the furthest ive gotten is the phone boots for like 2 seconds the screen is blurry and the shuts off and there is an orange light in top right that wasn't lighting up before. Here are the links for the custom packages

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helstonrampersad:
If what i explained above is not what you were referring to then let me know your way
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
You would have to much it to your exact carrier/phone, Just flashing whatever you get your hands on can be very very risky.

For example for me being on T-Mobile with a T-Mobile branded G2, I would grab PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971109

(noting the *.15 is the original radio my device was shipped with, though I've upgraded to the newer *.19)

I of course have no intention to returning to complete stock, but it's usually the only course of action for most people stuck with S-ON (and then would look into exploiting/unlocking/rooting again from there).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helstonrampersad:
I know it can be risky but im desperate for a fix. Ill try the package you linked. I download it and rename it to PC10IMG.zip? Ill get back after im done if you have any other suggestion please let me know.

Same problem, but desire z S-ON

Hey guys.

I have the same problem with the boot loop /semi brick. Expect I never had any problem before, with the phone. I have tried taking out the sd card, starting it agian. I have tried without simcard. I have tried to flash the ROM with RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.2_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_199043_signed

via Hboot Fastboot USB PLUG mode (which was the only mode the aplication was progressing in until it want to restart the phone in bootloader), but the phone frezzes and the aplication on the computer just keep working, without progress.

The factory reset just frezzes the phone.

The only thing reali seem to not frezze the phone is the revocery option. Here the phone react with restart showing a image of a phone with two green arrows bent around, over the phone. then it turns off the display and vibrate 4-5 times, og stays turn off not reacting to anything other then taking out the battery and you can start the phone once again.

If I want to test out a ROM, can I make a nandroid of my current setup, flash a new ROM, then restore my nandroid, and never shed a tear?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
That depends on if your using a safe ICS kernel and whether or not your going GB to ICS or vice versa. As long as you use agat ICS kernel you should be safe.

Yes you can do that with Agat's kernel. I have been doing it frequently since yesterday. Back and forth dozens of times or more.

[HTC EVO 3D] Juanito216:
Hey guys, my phone is Hboot 1.50 and s-off, but it seems like my phone eventually locks up with most AOSP/AOSP based roms I tried. Anyone know what's going on? Sense is cool but i would like to run a stable AOSP and/or MIUI sometimes.
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
What do you mean by locks up?

Freezes and crashes or fails? :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] Juanito216:
Freezes, then ill have to do a battery pull.
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
And, judging from your HBoot, it's a CDMA phone. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Have you tried an AOSP feel ROM?

Maybe it has something to do with you running too much on the phone which is causing it to crash.

I've never really seen this problem before.
[HTC EVO 3D] Juanito216:
It's CDMA. What's an AOSP feel Rom? A "de-sensed" rom? It may not matter if I am or not. Last freeze I had was with CM7 and I didn't even install anything. I don't have much issues with Sense roms but I don't want to stay stuck with Sense.
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
Yes, an AOSP feel ROM is when the ROM is really a Sense ROM, but it doesn't install Sense, instead, it installs a launcher, usually NOVA Launcher.

I'm not very familiar with the CDMA section, but there should be a few..

Also, did you experience any random Force Closes with your AOSP ROMs? Such as a Random system app? Also, did it usually freeze when you were using it, or when it was just lying around or in your pocket?
[HTC EVO 3D] Juanito216:
CM7 froze after I tried to turn the screen off. The other roms froze while using it I think.
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
Stock Kernel?

Could be an overheating issue?
[HTC EVO 3D] Juanito216:
I don't flash kernels a lot. Only 2-3 tines I've flashed one. At least most issues were probably with the included kernel. Tried CM9 today, ran well until it froze.
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
Did you flash the kernel and all the most recent firmware/radios for the ROM? That could be the issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] Juanito216:
Never flashed a radio or anything before. How do I go about doing that?
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
Each ROM has the radios included. If you're S-OFF, you just download it, rename it to what the Dev said (usually they come prenamed) and then put it in the root of your SD Card.

Once you're done that, just reboot your phone into the bootloader (Power and Volume Up) and it'll automatically scan for the files and install them. :)

It's not hard to do. Just make sure you flash the right ones for your phone and all should be well.

However, you shouldn't really need to flash the radio unless you experience problems with it..
[HTC Sensation] rdewa:
i have sensation XE stuck on 'hTC' logo ...

my phone info :

bootloader : 1.27

S-ON

unlocked

cid : 044

also i have recovery in it .

what can i do with such problem ?
[HTC Sensation] flare4000:
What have you have you done to the phone, unlock boot loader, root, etc. You might of flash a ics Rom while on gingerbread firmware. If so install 3.32 or 3.33 firmware. I cannot post the link because I'm on my phone so use the search bar! If you have already done this and installed a rom you m just flash the boot.img from adb or flash the rom with 4ext and use smartflash

P.s this is posted in the wrong section it should be posted in the Q & A new. And it would be wise to super cid so you won't have any firmware issues.
[HTC Sensation] rdewa:
well ... tnx for replay but my XE has ICS ROM in it and i couldnt find ICS ROM for that cid 044 .
[HTC Sensation] flare4000:
Did you flash the boot.IMG or install 4ext as your recovery and use smart flash? Because if you use the dev method to unlock you must flash the boot.IMG through adb or use 4ext smart flash so it does it for you. If your going the 4ext way you must re flash the ROM.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I'm genuinely curious if this big kernel source drop is going to be beneficial to us or not. I've heard two sides to the story:

1. "HTC b trollin' man, they drop source and release a new kernel..."

2. Devs can use the old kernel and fix the issues that HTC fixed, along with the other issues AOSP ROMs were having like sound and MMS.

I have no idea what's going on, and I'm curious whether I should expect things to blow up here soon, or if this kernel source has been essentially useless. I'm generally unaware of how long it takes devs to pick apart the kernel code and utilize it. Any input from those with knowledge on this topic would be greatly appreciated. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Both are correct. It doesn't really help sense based Roms because sense kernels are going to be newer than source.

However, aosp roms can now be fully functional. Aosp is what many people on here care about and are waiting for.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
It's not useless for aosp, the problem is nobody is really working too much on aosp roms. There is a cm and MIUI port but they are a ways off and only so much one person can do..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
This makes me sad. Maybe the EVO won't have the development I pictured it having after all. I'm not giving up hope for the future, but if you're correct in your assertion, that is saddening.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
It still might, but I think I'm still somewhat jaded by the og evo and the support it had. The 3D never really had much, and it's looking like the lte is gonna be around the same.

I do think we'll eventually get some aosp goodness, just isn't hopping like I hoped it would be. I don't mean this as a slight to the devs we do have because they are great, all of them.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
It's only been a little over a month since the phone first came out. Give more people time to transition and we should start to see more activity. It isn't that bad so far, but most development is based around Sense because no one wants to wrestle with AOSP. Once they get AOSP stuff finished though, we'll be golden.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Yeah, I'm sure that's true. In my head, I figured everyone would be working to get to that point as quick as possible once kernel source was released. Like a giant team project, haha. Instead, it appears that only a select few are tackling it. Even custom kernels seem to be a rare mention. Oh well, I'll continue to enjoy the Sense ROMs as much as I can until someone cracks the AOSP code. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
We just need the support of the big guys. For some reason it feels like most of the big time devs haven't moved on to this phone yet, or went with Samsung instead. I know that Preludedrew is working on JB for our phone, I talked to him about it yesterday on Gtalk. Deck mentioned in IRC that he was working on it as well, I believe.

The kernel developers are hiding so far, probably because we don't have the big guys working for us yet. I'd love to see a Tiamat kernel, even if I'm personally not a fan of custom kernels.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Kernel.org is also down, so that's slowing things up for everyone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
I've been seeing this all over, but I can access the site and perform downloads just fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
There's is (are) custom kernels out :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
I'm actually happy with the stock kernel. It has a great balance of performance and battery life.Then again I prefer my kernels to be rock solid, as opposed to cutting edge with random reboots.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I always used custom kernels with EVO 4G and remember zero reboots due to kernel issues . Easy overclocking and underclocking, volume mods, performance increases while still improving battery life... Yes please!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
So far my experience with HTC phones have been a very disappointing one. Coming from the OG Epic, all I've kept hearing was how awesome the development for the OG EVO was. So of course when the EVO 3d came out it was my phone of choice over the Epic Touch. That was disappointment number one. Then when the LTE came out, I've noticed all the OG EVO developers and owners was all excited about this phone, so i decided to give HTC another chance. So for I've been more disappointed then at any point. The lack of ROMS, the pitifully performance of sense 4 and HTC's new stance on locking bootloader and sneaky updates with new Hboots was the last straw. What phone will I get next? Im not sure, but it won't be a HTC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
We've had plenty of roms for this phone. Development has flown. Idk what your complaining about.

HTC has always locked the bootloader and always updated hboot to close root loopholes. This is nothing new.

This is all par for the course. You should know this having owned the 3d. Settle down my man
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I know what he means about ROMs... They're all more or less the same so far. Modified stock is great, but not what many are after when they think of development being great.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
+1 on that. Seems like the other guy isn't to bright seeing as this phone is only a little over a month old
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
And aosp is in the works and has been since shortly after launch. These things take time.

If you check out the aosp threads, they all mention ongoing development.

We JUST got kernel source. Devs have day jobs, they do this in their free time
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Oh I know that, and I no way meant to say the devs aren't doing great work. I just wanted to explain why he said there were not a lot of ROMs right now. I understand that statement, although there is plenty of reason for why that is.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Exactly. I've come to the conclusion that all sense ROMs are all the same. No offense to the devs here but i see no difference between Roms. A caked in app or a tweak just don't justify it being considered a ROM. Flex360 hit the nail on the head when he named his rom "stock with goodies". Which is what all these ROMs are anyways. Sure this phone been out only a month but contrary to what some have said, im smart enough to see the writing on the wall. This phone will be a development flop. It's already a sales flop base on it being heavily discounted on amazon and seeing I can't even sell my mint condition phone for a lousy $300.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skw5115:
Give it a few more months and im sure you'll be more than satisfied with development
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
You should go to the first page of mean rom and read the whole change log. Its ridiculous! Phone performs much different than stock. There are much more than just tweaks in the rom. Just cause it isn't themed, doesn't mean it is anywhere close to stock. Stock this phone is horrible and to me unusable for a yr. This is far from that. I'm all for theming, but its like the least important factor right now for this phone. Don't know why I'm seeing people popping up that think if its not themed its trash.

Not trying to start anything, its just you are either misinformed or don't know what to look for.

And on the note of this thread, yes the kernel source will be very helpful and work with newer based roms. Running one right now. Zero problems.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Dude I am on mean ROM and been running it since version 0.1. But in all honestly I switched back to stock so I could S-off, and I didnt felt or notice any difference that would warrant any excitement.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mattemer:
Couple questions, that hopefully can be asked in here, n00b questions unfortunately.

1) What exactly is it about aosp roms that make them more difficult than sense roms? I saw someone mentioned that it has to do with sense roms being newer, is that the case? How exactly IS that the case? Aren't they all based on the same underlying Android version (minus fragmentation)?

2) I definitely see the differences between the roms, and am personally not concerned about the rate of development. However, all the roms are either sense or aosp. Like someone else said, a tweak here or there doesn't make that rom completely different, to me at least. With that being said, what else should we be expecting? It's either sense or aosp. It's always going to look and feel like either or, right?

I think we are all grateful for all the work any and all devs are doing. They have lives and don't need to be doing any of this.

Sent from my EVOLTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
The phone ships with sense, so its already fully working and developers build off of what HTC gave us. This is why there are so many sense-based ROMS right now.

AOSP ROMS have to be built from the ground up usually (using googles code) and since we do not always get the required proprietary code (drivers/kernels/ect) this can be troublesome.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mattemer:
Thanks! In my mind, it was as "easy" as taking the current stock rom, and removing the sense elements from that, and bam, done.

It should also be noted that I've been medically diagnosed as stupid.

Sent from my EVOLTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Haha. Nope not that simple. :p

It's literally starting from Google's code and building from the ground up and tweaking things as needed for our specific device. It's all way over my abilities but I think I've described it pretty well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Sorry didn't know u were a fellow meanie, but on that rom you should have really zero problems except for no theme. themes will come, we just have to be patient. I think there is a tool,(m10), I think that htc has to update that for theming to happen with sense 4.
