[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Log70:
Alright so I'm starting out by saying I'm relativity new to this. So I'm in the dark on this issue.

Also If I posted this in the wrong section of the forum, please let me know so I don't do it again

The issue is that Whenever I try to back-up my ROM through ROM Manager it gives me some error

it boots into Clockworkmod and it gives me this

It says to check the log file

Now before anything, I already uninstalled ROM Manager, reinstalled, reflashed Clockworkmod, and confirmed that everything is up to date.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

here's my LOG file:

In case you ask (doubt you will) I erased the privacy and legal links in the LOG file due to the site blocking me from posting since I'm new.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
That's because clockwork has issues with the EVO LTE.

install twrp (team win recovery project). Search on google or xda for download. Also, don't use Rom manager anymore, it is pretty much dead. Use goo manager.

Or download goo manager from market and install twrp as recovery. U will lose any backups u did on cwm, but they won't work anyways.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
bro DO NOT USE clockwork recovery on this phone.. it ***ks up ya misc partition.. flash teamwin recovery.. aka twrp.. its the only recovery that works on the LTE at this moment..

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Or what I said first? Why am I always invisible on here?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
He said first^^^^^^^ :p My bad :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Log70:
Didn't realize. A friend recommended clockwork since he had used it on his original EVO 4G.

I already flashed the new recovery and wiped all trace of clockwork and rom manager.

Thanks for the help guys. If you ha e anything else to add then please do.

I just downloaded the newest CM release (10.0.0 stable) and upgraded. For some reason every time I attempt to boot up my phone it sends me directly into recovery (clockwork). Its almost like a boot loop, but I go into recovery instead. I've tried reflashing to an older nightly version of CM10 that I know works, but it consistently just sends me back to recovery when I go to reboot. I tried a Nandroid restore, same thing. I'm not new to flashing Roms, and went through all the rituals (wiping data/cache, etc). Never have had any trouble flashing Roms in this particular phone.

I can't get into fast boot either, always goes into recovery. Has anyone seen anything like this before? I'm running out of ideas of my own. Any ideas are appreciated. There's a beer in it for the best information leading to the reconstitution of this jobby.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Getting into fast boot is tricky...hold down arrow and push power, then release vol after boot.

Are you flashing boot.img properly in fastboot?
[HTC One S] CounterSolar:
OK. I got it semi sorted out. It turns out there is a bug of some kind, I am not sure if it is special to the One S or what, but it is to mine. CWM gets thrown into a sort of boot loop if the device is charging while attempting to restart, and won't boot either into the rom nor into fastboot. It won't respond to adb either. It just keeps going into recovery. And it won't shut off. This happens when charging for some reason.

After I took the USB cable out I reset it with volume +, volume -, and power. I guess HTC put that little trick in there to simulate removing the battery since you can't take the battery out of the back. That effectively shut the phone off. Then I was able to get into fastboot and connect with adb. I put Team Win Recovery on there instead of CWM for now, and got into recovery. Wiped everything, and flashed the extra rom I had on there.

I am still unable to flash CM10 stable, it just goes into bootloop if I try, but at least I have my phone back. Hopefully I will be able to figure out if there is a way to kick start it on there, or whatever bug is solved. Look forward to trying it when its (or I'm) not broken.
[HTC One S] dc211:
The One S isn't offically supported by CWM. It sounds like you need to try and flash the boot.img in fastboot.
[HTC One S] dave il barbaro:
Try TWRP...it will be better

Sent whit HTC ONE S
[HTC One S] CounterSolar:
That's weird. CM10 comes up as an update...

Either way, I tried flashing the 11/11/2012 nightly through twrp and came up the same thing, would just bootloop and not go into the rom. Fortunately I could still access both recovery and fastboot, so I went back to a previous nightly from last week, and after a (painfully long/manual) titanium restore, I'm back to normal. I'll have to investigate what is going on later when I have some extra time to commit to it.
[HTC One S] CounterSolar:
Yeah dc211 was right. I'm using hboot 1.14, had to go and flash boot.img in fastboot. Install went smoothly after that. Thanks for the input y'all.
[HTC One S] james1089:
boot loop

Before you flash this you need to remove "qrngd" file from the rom . The file is located at system-bin-qrngd.
[HTC One S] CounterSolar:
I was able to flash 10.0.0 without removing qrngd. So far it hasn't been a problem. I read somewhere that file is some sort of random number generator, but that it isn't clear whether its even used anymore. Also, they say its more of a problem with earlier nightlies, especially with people using HBOOT < 1.14. It might be just junk DNA in the system files, or they may have patched the problem. I will keep my eye on it though, and will report back if I get any spooky behavior.
[HTC One S] pbelcomp:
That was fixed in the 11/09/12 nightly, so its not an issue anymore.

[Nexus 4 General] shadehh:
Am I the only one here thinking that it was part of google's plan to make it look like they sold a bunch of N4s in order to get the media's attention by bragging about how many they sold? Just Google: "nexus 4 sold out". You will find many websites reporting that nexus 4 are selling like hot cakes/or are sold out. I'm going to have to look at the next news paper, I bet we will see it in the headlines. This is wonderful news for Google. Great advertisement.

More over I would like to know what you guys think of this. Don't you think that such a rich company like Google would have for seen this?

Also the fact that the number of sold devices are not being reported, wouldn't that indicate that the amount of devices are actually not that much after all? (mentioning the # of sold units would discredit their bragging right? - Of course, only if it is not high)

Chances are they have a lot on stock but want to sell only a certain amount for the time being.

Now what would concern me is, if it actually is the truth that they ran out of supply. I mean, LG? There are few people who have faith in LG, their android update policy is enough to associate that company with incompetence.

Even with the nexus phone being an LG, they already managed to leave a bad impression in countries with no play store by announcing a price which could be nearly up to double the price of the nexus 4 in the play store.

What if LG is not able to keep up with demand? What is your say? What do you think is going on?

I visited a site that mentioned that Google has done this before, in order to see how high the demand is and to fulfill the needs a few days/weeks/month later. Was not following the galaxy nexus sale , anyone that experienced this here?

Hope this thread doesn't get closed, I could imagine some interesting discussion going on ;)
[Nexus 4 General] AznDud333:
no, just scumbags trying to make a profit by hogging all the stock
[Nexus 4 General] dahmmy:
I think it its engineered, why not Apple do it all the time:)
[Nexus 4 General] yahoowizard:
Naw, I mean, there really weren't any commercials over it or anything. Google has the money to spend on advertising for it, but they honestly didn't. I feel they just weren't too sure on when to do it themselves and that we were probably making more out of it than needed to be.
[Nexus 4 General] AznDud333:

If this was Apple then, yes, I would believe it was intentional but honestly the server was crashing. What I saw you can't fake. It was like a DDoS attack. That server was basically brought to its knees. SERIOUSLY. :eek:

The Illuminati. Yes! They are watching us!

@above: hmmm. I prefer Lg is incompetent :-p
[Nexus 4 General] mke1973:
I think it may be a combination of Google's lack of concern about their customers combined with a poor working relationship with LG. I don't think Google wants publicity about this launch because they and LG won't come off looking too good. Google must have thought it was getting more units from LG because they had indicated they would sell the Nexus 4 via Playstore in the Netherlands and Belgium. Then at the last minute, they had to cancel those commitments because they didn't get enough units from LG. At the same time, non-US carriers selling the phone at a much higher price than Google got units ahead of launch time so their customers could physically have the phone today. Hence, you have a number of users posting threads here about problems with their brand new Nexus 4 phones, which they have in hand. So, LG shorted Google to send phones to vendors that sell the Nexus 4 at a higher price. I suspect the whole sales cycle of this phone may be marked by problems between Google and LG, resulting in supply shortages for the lower priced Google-sold phones. If consumers want the phone and don't want to wait for weeks at a time between LG's periodic shipment of a meager supply to Google, you may be forced to buy from other vendors at a higher price or, in the US, a contract commitment to T-Mobile. It looks like Google + LG= oil + water; they don't mix well.
[Nexus 4 General] Nospin:
.... Or maybe not. That's quite the stretch.
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
It is Google's policy not to release sales figures. So it indicates absolutely nothing. Asus released some Nexus 7 sales figures last month and apparently Google was not too happy.
[Nexus 4 General] PincheKeith:
This is what happens when things are under-priced. Whether mandated by law (price controls) or whether a company does it out of its own desire (Nexus 4). Selling something below its true value will lead to shortages because the demand will be too heavy. Combine that with Google probably trying to not overestimate the demand in order to not build too many, it should be no surprise that it sold out so quickly.
[Nexus 4 General] Lucke:
very true... i had an N4 in my cart 8 times today (EIGHT freakin times) and each and every time i tried to proceed, i got that craptastic yellow banner telling me that something happened on the back end. their servers were absolutely hammered.
[Nexus 4 General] shadehh:
I'm happy with the low price and even if I have to wait a year to get a nexus 4 I'm so happy Google set new standards. I don't find the price too cheap, they could have easily added 50 bucks more for all I care. But I'm glad they set new standards for great hardware all others phone manufacturers must now adjust
[Nexus 4 General] oceansaber:
I waited all day, from 3:00 AM EST when it was SUPPOSED to launch, to 12:00 PM EST when the "second" launch time was "announced", resulting in two times in which the "Add to Cart" button popped up but didn't work after clicking through. The minute I step inside my house, I rush to my computer, and see a nice, red SOLD OUT sign.

It had to be either a) testing the waters in terms of demand for the device (highly unlikely), b) a publicity stunt in order to garner more (free) attention for the Nexus4 (as we say it, any publicity is good publicity), or c) as stated a shortage of devices as a result between miscommunication/communication breakdowns between LG and Google.

Thoroughly disappointed. I sold my phone (GNexus) in the hopes of upgrading for very little $, and now I'm stuck with no phone at all.
[Nexus 4 General] samklee:
man, i feel you. i sold my gnex and my backup (g2x) device in anticipation of the nexus 4. I'm old and tired. So, i'm just going to go to my tmobile store and pick up a note 2. I got one for my wife last week and she has been completely satisfied with it. I'll re-evaluate the state of android in a couple months, whereby I might sell the note 2 to finally get the nexus 4. we'll see.
[Nexus 4 General] sroach23:
If you believe that its all a conspiracy, put your aluminum foil hat back on and go sit in the corner.
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
Finally someone who understand economics.

Put gas half price today. Guess what will happen. Even if gas stations prepared. EVERYONE will gas and you can't prepare for that. Supply is driven by how valuable it is to sell. Demand is determined by how much value you get. They released a 600$ phone at 300$. Take off your tinfoil hats and go to school.
[Nexus 4 General] nukedukem:
There is no conspiracy. We are talking about about a relatively small cell phone player in LG and a device with a small profit margin. Considering that both these companies are banking on the same profit model, ie, google wants large volume sales for ads and LG wants large volume to compensate for smaller net profits per phone. With the next big phone literally always around the corner, to delay sales in any way is very bad for both companies.
[Nexus 4 General] Spitfire:
Then it is too cheap :) If people are willing to pay $400 or $450, and they sell it for $350, that's too cheap. That's why demand is (and should be!) so high.

I don't think they did this intentionally, they have a great device at a great price and it sold out.
[Nexus 4 General] shadehh:
You've got issues, I'm just interested to see what people have to say about the fast sold out label. If you honestly think that companies wouldn't pull things like this intentionally for the sake of media attention then clearly your are living in the wrong planet.
[Nexus 4 General] mrbkkt1:
A little bit of everything.

Sales strategy.

Over demand.

50000 turds using auto refreshers of page watchers crashing servers.

People buying 10 to make a profit on eBay.

Google setting a time, and breaking it early by half an hour, cause some donkey in mountain view couldn't hold his wad.

Non existent availability emails.

I really would like an official explanation from Google.
[Nexus 4 General] mke1973:
I don't think it's a stretch at all. Having to cancel Playstore sales to two countries at the last minute makes Google look bad, it had expected to receive more units from LG and got shorted. Members here who had to pay much more money to get phones from their local carriers have their phones in hand today and are posting threads about some problems they're experiencing. Clearly, LG had no problems sending units to those vendors while sending Google fewer units than Google had expected to receive. Then, LG gets a lot more money per unit from the non-Google vendors selling the phone. If Google and LG are already unable to communicate, it tells me they don't have a good working relationship. Unless a miracle happens, it would look like this poor relationship may last through the sales cycle of this phone, meaning possible repeats of today's performance.
[Nexus 4 General] red12355:
How does Google get extra media attention for this at all? All the places I've seen mention the nexus 4 and 10 going on sale, with maybe an update saying that its sold out. Nobody is like "OMG the nexus 4 sold out everyone buy Google stock now!".

This reminds me of the massive rush to buy the HP Touchpads. When things are cheap, they sell out fast. Easy as that.

[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Haven't seen "BOM" since I was working for NEC years ago; aah, the memories.. :)

Having slept a couple of hrs after staying up all fckng night for the N4, clarity comes back and you realize that the GN is still a hell of a phone and that you can easily wait another couple of weeks.

Whatever it was though, certainly doesn't get any new customers coming in. Or bonus points. What a monumental fckup today was..
[Nexus 4 General] nikufellow:
yeah they were sending in leaks day after day before n4 to ensure that hype doesn't chill and after launch they've taken a leaf (an old leaf actually ) out of apple's playbook to ensureen that hype goes on !

Thinking the other way round millions got damn crazy about a LG manufactured nexus without lte and only 8/16 gb storage options - that too quite possible huh ?
[Nexus 4 General] mrbkkt1:

[Nexus 4 General] :
lmao...phew now I can sleep easy
[Nexus 4 General] bdithug:
Call me a conspiracy theorist all you want, I still think Google had ulterior motives behind their fkcup today. Anyone who has read my other posts today probably knows Im going to bring up the whole preorder issues. Google knew how many people would be spamming their site. The amount of people signing up for the Email Notification is one indication. Combine that with the extreme low price, they would have a general idea of how today was going to go. Then they release the North American sales a half hour early, even though just the night before they were dropping hints to die hard loyal customers about when the phone will officially launch. I honestly believe Google did this on purpose, for the media attention alone. Why else would a preorder option not be available for those who want it?

A preorder option would have given EVERYONE a chance to at least get their orders in. The first preorders in, get the first batch of phones. All other orders are in cue. Limit the amount of phones in one purchase. Do not allow the same IP Address or even the same shipping address to place more than one preorder. This would have eliminated the F5 spamming that hundreds of thousands of customers did today. Everyone who did not get their order in today would not have to deal with this garbage fiasco again when they restock.

Some of you may call me a conspiracy theorist or say I wear a tin foil hat and all that. Go ahead. I still cannot think of one valid reason why a preorder option was not offered. In fact, even the Customer Service Rep I spoke to from Google could not give me one good reason why there was no preorder option. Yes I would still be waiting for my phone to be loaded on a truck. I dont care. I wouldnt have to continue to check the Google Play Store repeatedly until I see "Add to Cart" in the future. Get the order in, sit back and relax. Its a simple process. But today was far from simple. It was utter chaos.

Moving forward, hopefully Google can replenish their stock soon and learn from this failure of a launch. I dont have actual numbers to back this statement up (because its impossible), but I would bet money on the fact that there are way more unhappy customers than happy customers today. That alone is a failure in itself.
[Nexus 4 General] :
While I agree with you that in general a preorder is a good and useful thing. There are possible scenarios where it would create more of a headache. One of these being if the supply of devices from LG was not reliable. If the supply was not reliable or does not meet the needs or is sporadic, then google would have a very large amount of orders that it would be unable to fulfill. Giving the option of a preorder simply gives the customer another promise that has the potential to be broken. I think that google played it safe by not having preorders. IMO I think that to make up for the lack of pre-order, the On-Sale Notification Email will arrive when the supply becomes more reliable, at which point, customers will be able to purchase the phone without any issues, probably around the same time they'd receive their phone if they had pre-ordered it.
[Nexus 4 General] bdithug:
That is a very good point as well. IMO I still think it would have been a little bit more fair in terms of who gets the first phones rather than a crap shoot 30 min early silent release.

Either way it is what it is. And its back to the waiting game for me.
[Nexus 4 General] ATGAdmin:
Actually it was Apple attacking the Google servers, but the liberal media refuses to report on it lol :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] dbolot1:
I think Apple ordered all of them and will cancel their order tomorrow or refuse delivery (which ever option is worth ;)) , but in all seriousness Google probably underestimated the popularity of the Nexus:D.
[Nexus 4 General] enyceckk:
First world problems :(
[Nexus 4 General] gee2012:
No waiting for me, i have the Note2 and i`am going to wait for the Galaxy S4. I hate LG from the bottom of my heart because of their crappy software and even crappyer update policy. If the nexus 4 was built by any other company i would have taken it but now i`m gona pass.
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
You do realize if they had done pre-orders we would have just all been there F5'ing waiting for pre-orders to open, right? :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] :
lmao it would never end... the whole play store might have just gone down :silly:

I really wonder how much this phone would have sold if there was an unlimited supply, as well as 32 and 64 gb models...
[Nexus 4 General] bdithug:
Maybe you, definitely not me. I would have placed my preorder whenever I had time. Even now, I just want my order in there. Ship it whenever its ready I don't care.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Well if that's the case then I'm sure you'll be able to order it in peace when the Notification Email arrives. So either way, for people with your mindset it won't matter. I mean even if you give the play store one try every day it shouldn't be too much of an inconvenience, and you'll get your device when it becomes more generally available.
[Nexus 4 General] bdithug:
When the Notification Email arrives.... yea because that worked out so well today. I dont think you understood my original post. This smooth, well planned, well thought out launch would have happened even smoother than it did had some order planning taken place to begin with.
[Nexus 4 General] qwahchees:
What do you guys think the Sales Figures for the phone is at right now? I was thinking in the couple thousands to be honest. But I may be wrong.

I ordered mine from third-party, hoping it comes in soon.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Well it seems like there was a good reason why the notification emails didn't go out today. Now of course the launch could have been planned better, in hindsight most things could have been done better. The question is really who's fault it is, it could be google, LG, even to a lesser extent the hordes of xda folk using the auto refresh. Now like I said before, your pre-order argument is very much a valid one. However, we won't know if it would've made a reasonable difference until the real causes of the launch problems come to light.
[Nexus 4 General] bdithug:
Being as big as Google is, they should have seen this coming. LG could be slacking on production, who knows. Even if they are, Google is the one who is saying this is the release date, no preorders, phone goes on sale at this time (but really half hour earlier than that), pretty much everyone scramble for a phone. Having said that, they also knew how much inventory they had and acted as they seem fit. They are the end seller. They take the heat for it IMO based on how they handled the entire situation as a whole.
[Nexus 4 General] qpqpqp:
I don't think its on purpose. If they really are intentionally hyping this then they really pissed off a lot of people. Right now the play store status is "sold out". Its like saying we got none left and we wont get it for long while.
