Troubleshooting

First things first.

\When posting issues, we need to know the basics,

1. What was the last rom you were on?

2. Are you S-ON or S-OFF?

3. What recovery are you using? 4EXT or CWM?

4. Is your boot loader Locked or unlocked?

5. Did you flash the firware update?

6. Did you check the MD5DUM when you downloaded the rom?

7. Did you experience an error when flashing?

8. Have you had issues on other roms?

9. have you thoroughly red the first few posts of the Development thread?

10. Have you flashed any rom before? Or is this your first time?

11. Did you wipe or superwipe?

12. Have you correctly formatted your SDCARD?

I will post links to the How to's here soon.

Hey

I have a question,

I want to install the new rom (ones chavy will reveal it) but i want to format all my SD.

I connected my device to the computer and i saw a lot of files that was belong to applications that not install anymore. I think there is a lot of crap in my device and when the new rom will be release, i want to format all of it and install the rom.

What is the easiest way to do that?

I am asking the first question in this new thread. Applause! :victory:
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
formatting

In 4ext recovery, there is a format menu that you can select to format internal and external sdcards.

there are lots of tools to use in 4ext. If you need further help with formatting let me know.

Congrats for being the first post for questions. also I've still got some errors with the new version. Stupid robot voice again! but I should have it up any day now.

The aroma installer has a lot more options including superwipe and much more!

I worked on it all night!

It's even faster and smoother!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
+1 for chevy but if your s-off I'd say run a ruu ;) that's the most perfect way to clean your phone if it has errors the ruu will fix everything :) then flash the necessary things and you'll have a smooth experience :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Sirocco.ukr.lviv:
i'm waiting for updated sense 4.1 from Chevy. i can't stand cyano and sense 3.6. that's all...
[HTC Amaze 4G] gsela2:
Thanks for the answers.

ravike - i don't know what is a ruu, lol, so i will stick with chevy's way. By the way, my device is indeed S-OFF (i bought it that way).

Chavy - i just saw that you publish the new (and the last :( ) rom, THANKS!

so, if i understend correctly, in order to format the phone and install the rom i need to:

1. make a backup and copy it to SD-CARD (on the external one)

2. go to 4ext recovery - to the "wipe/format" menu and select "format sdcard" (i didn't found "format internal and external sdcards")

3. after my device is formated, i will connect it to the computer and copy your new rom (is the rom that install right now will appear after the formatting? i know from the PC that if i format it, the windows will not appear).

4. Wipe

5. flash firmware

6. wipe

7. Flash rom

is it the correct order?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
The PH85IMG.zip you flashed after s off that's the ruu lol... Run that it's more easier if you want to clean your device

Faux pas!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
What does faux pas mean
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
Ok amaze is not showing sd cards when i put in the sd card it shows up as blank sd or has unsupportted file format now i searched and only solution was to format i even tried that still not working and i tried 3 sd cards , 2 8 gb class 4 and a brand new class 6 16 gb by samsung so any one got any ideas using viper for amaze
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
"Faux pas" is American slang originally derived from French that means, I "goofed", "made a mistake", "f#@ked up". Make sense now? LOL
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Yep! The first rule of xda is we don't ask for eta's. Because I don't want to get pinned down saying I'll release something by a certain date and time. It leads me to want to keep my commitment and then I get rushed and make mistakes.

Like Odysseus said.

I used faux pas like the term party foul, someone spills their alcohol at a party, or somebody dropping the cake at a wedding.

I've said a new release is coming soon, and I appreciate that you all are eager for a release. I'm a flashoholic too. I greatly enjoy doing what I do, but you can't rush things. It took the better part of a year to get a stable booting 4.5 Rom for us.though it's not finished. Without ravike14 it would not have been possible.

I have cleaned up a lot of screwy things from viper. I have signed and zip aligned the apps and the Rom. Still having some Google play issues. Once I get it figured out I'll release it.

It won't be long. Couple of days.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
You're probably somewhat young if you can't figure out using context clues.

I like the term "you just pulled an Obama" or "headahhhhh" better than faux pas.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
Hahahahahhaha laughed soo hard at the the "you just pulled an obama" hahahahaha hilarious.

Ok my sd card has faux pased and i want some one to pull an obama for me.

But saying it seriously it unmounting every card i give it using viper started happening sinse 2 days ago no one has a solution bought a new card 16 gb samsung class 6 but to no avail. If Any one has a solution execpt formating , pulling it in and out turning my cell on and off im all ears
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Sometimes you have to format it to make sure it's formatted correctly, but first check the sdcard slot. My dev device came to me broken, but with the part that needed to be replaced. The SIM card was not reading and the sdcard was really loose in the slot and would lose contact with the terminals and unmount. I had to take the phone apart to replace the board. But thanks to [MENTION=4633409]Fatty1212[/MENTION] I have a device to develop on.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
Yeah i might have a problem like that
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
There are some "check file system" type tools in 4EXT. There were times when my thingy would misbehave and fixing permissions and running those tools (without formatting) would fix it, I think. It was really rare that would happen though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
For those of you who run Windows there is a tool for properly formatting SD cards which is put out by the "SD Association" the official body that represents SD Card manufacturers worldwide. On their site they state that the formatting tools included with Windows or Mac don't properly format SD cards, so they created a small utility for doing so. It's called SD Formatter. I recommend using it over any such utility included in a recovery. The ones included in recovery are really only intended for emergency use.

Here's the link https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4

Try using it, I think you'll find, like I did, that it works beautifully.

I hope this helps

Ciao

Booting

Hey Chevy,

Okay so i just tried installing Viper 2.0.2 and it just won't boot. I've never had this problem even though i'm S-ON and using 4-ext with smart flash enabled (always have been and i've installed pretty much every rom for the amaze just fine). After i install viper 2.0.2 from 4ext and reboot, it just gets stuck at the "amazing" logo and vibrates occasionally. I even went back into recovery and unmounted everything. What's going on? Do i NEED S-OFF for this new update to work? Thanks. (btw love your work!)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I'm s-on and it installed fine. I have no idea why it wouldn't be working for you unless you either didn't select any kernel or selected both by mistake in the aroma installer.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
vibrate occasionally stuck at amazing logo

If it's vibrating occasionally, and stuck at "amazing" logo, I think you can just make sure ONE kernel is selected, and maybe it ought to be the faux.

If it's not vibrating and stuck at "amazing" logo which happened to me also, head back to recovery, do your wipe, not the boot sector unless you already did, recovery->mount the mountables->then recovery->tools->filesystem check on both internal and sdcard->then tools->check partition alignment->then recovery->install from sdcard your Viper--during the Viper install, watch for the screen with kernel choice and select only ONE. I think it was the faux that worked for me, don't recall. Wait 5 minutes after "amazing" logo appears, but should take less than 3.

Those recovery steps have saved several Amazes when they were perhaps over-formatted. Possibly one of those steps isn't necessary, but I don't want to duplicate the experiment to find out which one. Not sure the cause, either, but I think it is from formatting boot when it is not necessary, maybe using the option "format everything except sdcard." Remember to have smartflash enabled if not s-off.

When all is said and done, tanks gooness for nandroid backup.
[HTC Amaze 4G] WhyThankYouSuh:
Thank you for the replies. I was selecting ONLY Nightmare kernel as i personally prefer that. But I just now tried to install it by selecting the Faux kernel and it actually booted! So i guess i shall stick with that. Thanks again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
You can install the nightmare kernel if you do desire by downloading the flashable zip file from the nightmare thread. :) faux seems to do better with Wi-Fi though.

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

Just a few minor glitches to get things right, but I promise you'll love this Rom.

I'm going to dedicate some time now to Bluetooth. That is going to be one of the hurdles we need to overcome to have a fully functional sense Rom.

Thanks to all for helping each other in getting things right. That's what a community is all about!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I used Nightmare for some time when I was on Energy. It's a good stable kernel that when setup correctly gives a good balance of stability, battery-life and performance, That said, I think the Faux kernel is more configurable. The whole file corruption issue was blown out of proportion on the other thread. If you don't allow your handset to completely run out of juice and it shuts down, or worse simply dies while running, you may have a problem. I think this would be problematic with any kernel, but since Faux users probably took more chances there were more instances of this happening. Simple solution is to not let the battery get so low, bottom-line.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Saanus1:
You have pushed all the limits.... Really great work.. Hats off to you. Thanks alot...
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Thanks! Don't forget to hit the thanks button too! (and Ravikes!)

Ravike and I are diligently working on the next level of android and sense.

Bluetooth is my main focus now.

This rom fixes a lot of problems with the last build and the rebase gives you a little taste of whats to come.

The 4.5 notifications is a real treat you can reply to emails directly from the notification when you pull down the notification bar!

1- where is the HTC phone message " Installed it but can not found "

2- camera gallery i cant use it, it appear the photo in a small corner but when i try to open it no thing happens

3- Airplane mode i can not disable it

4- definition of the hard key of camera i use " button re mapper" so it solved

Some minor issues in a great ROM

I've really been enjoying the 2.02 ROM, especially the battery life.

There are 3 issues that I seem to have had with all versions of the Viper Rom I have tried, but I enjoy the ROM so much I live with them. If I could get these issues fixed - maybe it is only my phone I need to change something - my joy would be even higher.

The issues are:

1. Phone alway defaults to GSM only on a reboot, I have to change it back to GSM/WCDMA auto each time I reboot.

2. Maybe only in 2.02 - the screen brightness doesn't default to automatic brightness on - each reboot I need to re-enable this, but the screen is hard to see sometimes to get to this.

3. The GPS stops working after a couple uses - I have to go into repair permissions, then reboot, to get GPS to be able to come back on and working. The GPS will otherwise report it is on to an application when turned on, but the icon never shows on the top of the screen and the GPS doesn't give a location.

Software Update Notification in ROM

I assume I should ignore the notification that a software update is available?

Edit: Also, I'm getting FCs on camera on 2.02...first time on viper that I've had camera issues. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Came from CM 10.2 with full wipe. I'll probably try another full wipe and see what happens.
[HTC Amaze 4G] homestyle28:
Video playback

I get video playback problems in facebook and chrome. MX plays downloaded videos fine as does the HTC gallery app. Any thoughts? I don't have this issue on other roms, but the few times I've been using Viper 2.02 it's been an issue. Facebook error message: "Sorry, but an unknown error occured while trying to play this video" always shows up after ~.5 seconds of playback.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
video

It sounds as if the network connection is getting severed when you go to play a vid or the connection is too slow.

However, if it happens ONLY with this ROM try clear data for the app, and fix permissions from recovery.

Also, check system settings->about phone to be sure it is viper 2.0.2, and not one of the newer "work in progress" viper roms.
[HTC Amaze 4G] homestyle28:

Thanks for the suggestions...no luck though. WIll probably just go to something else as my DD for a little while.

I also have two more questions:

1) In the software updates it says that "This is not an Original Rom, This rom is maded by Team Venom, to fix this, apply this update".

2)My Venom Hub does not seem to work, it only shows a blank screen.

well i assume you have your twrp nandroid backup,you can try the following

3)using computer,try to extract data with winzip/7-zip or follow this guide

Fixed Permissions/Zipped aligned in Venom Tweaks. [No random reboots yet]

Haven't restored data from 4EXT/Titanium

I first downloaded the rom, then v31. Flashed the rom/booted up, downloaded v31, Recovery, then flashed v31.

This was before you mentioned flashing the rom and not rebooting while in recovery and flashing v31 right afterwards.

So,

Should I reflash the rom, don't reboot after installation, flash v31, then reboot and fix permissions/zip align in venom tweaks? [IF random reboots continue]

I didn't relock the bootloader when I flashed the update. You may need to make sure you have the right cid. Should be Tm010 or something like that. But I would swear mine was super cid when I did mine.

And did it load and install ok in bootloader?

Did it find the ph85img.zip when you went into bootloader?

I installed again for now dark glass ROM which is working fine
[HTC Amaze 4G] CNwenabx:
I must say something about the stuck in the white start screen.If you used to use ICS rom but not the anyone of the viper,you must flash the viper one before you use the last viper 1.7.1.Because the viper 1.7.1 rom doesn't include the boot.img.If you pick up the boot.img from viper 1.7.0.1 or other version old and put the file into the viper 1.7.1,you can use and boot.I have tried,before I flashing the lastest one,I used the EnerySense 3.6,and then I can't boot the viper,I reboot into the 4-ext recovery to flash the faux123 v31,but didn't work!So,I downloaded the viper 1.7.0.1,used the boot.img in that,finally I could boot into the systerm.

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

please flash viper 1.7.01 before you flashing the lastest one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:

Yes, It's correct, I did miss the boot.img

sorry y'all.

I'll reupload when I get home.

the faux kernel zip I used did not have the boot.img file in it.

Adding it back in now...
[HTC Amaze 4G] vgs929:
Ok, so far so good. No random reboots thus far.

But, the battery drains a lot faster now. I havent touched anything and it's draining fast. Open the camera= 1 picture = 1 percent gone.

Browsing through the venom tweaks app / venom hub etc.. battery is still draining around 1% every 2-3 minutes.

what to do now :cowboy: ? or anyone else have suggestions?
