im trying to recondition my battery. when im wiping my battery stats in clockwork, i encounter a weird problem. right when i confirm to wipe the stats, it just goes back to the menu options. What i mean is that clockwork doesn't tell me that the batttery has been wiped or anything, something that you would see from an Amon-RA recovery. does this mean that it didnt work? please confirm this. thanks
I think it works, just no notification, you just have to trust it
The cake is a lie!

So, just a few hours ago I decided to install ADWLauncher, then I noticed my phone was acting VERY sluggish no matter what I did;uninstall ADW, restart, wipe cache, dalvik, and now my very last attempt is nand restore...but I'm getting the error "Error: run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb" I'm not familiar with adb, so bear with me.
If it's any help, I'm on Virus ROM with Carbon theme.
I've had no prior problems like this or at all.
I know how to use a computer and do commands, but I'll need some guidance with adb, etc.
--------- I tried posting in Q&A but no replies thus far and I'm freakin' out because I really need my phone.
Try charging your battery for awhile...

I was hoping that would be the solution, but I popped in my fully charged battery and keep getting boot loops too, and still won't restore my backups...
We wipe the system and instead of restoring the NAND backup just load up a new ROM. You can restore after you get it working.
Try that.

Wiping the system as in wiping data/factory reset, wiping cache, wiping dalvik?
Sweet Jesus, I fixed it! I did what you suggested although I tried that earlier and it didn't work. Thanks a lot guys.
Okay, today I was about to flash a new rom so I attempted to wipe, but I got an error that the phone could not mount the cache (and later couldn't mount data). It says "E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command" on the next line "E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log" and the next "E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log". So I have tried reflashing recovery to fix it and it did not work. I cannot flash any rom without an error or restore my nandroid backups. I am in the process of trying to restore the nandroid backups throught fastboot. Can anyone give me any help on this?
SOLUTION: blancoisgod recommends formatting the cache partition to fix this problem
Did you pull the battery and retry?
Yep. Actually, the phone wont even turn on anymore. I will just have to return it to tmobile tomorrow

This is exactly why manufacturers don't want people rooting and messing with their phones.
So because of your stupidity and lack of foresight you're now going to return your phone?! That's laughable.
Now T-Mobile and HTC have to pick up the bill for someone else's ignorance.
Note to self....remember your name and never help you!
No man dont turn it into tmobile. Now everyone is gonna ride you because you broke it and your going to return it because of what you have done,not the manufacturer.
Go ahead and turn it in, but please read around a bit before you do this again.

Your right it is my fault; although, I am not sure what I did wrong. I am not a complete idiot and have been doing this stuff for a while. I did everything by the instructions and this happened. I actually saw this happen to someone in the G2 forum but no one found a solution. I see how returning the phone would be wrong but what are my options? I am only 15, no income, so what could I do. If I had income of course I would just pay for a new phone. I hope I am not coming off as a dumb juvenile crook, I apologize.

Did you make a backup image? If so you could just flash your recovery image and be golden. If not, then your options are very limited.
I was not trying to hurt or insult your feelings but we constantly see people who 'think' they know what they're doing with these same issues all day every day.
My advice is limited as well at this point because I'm not sure exactly what you've done or precautions you had in place for this.
Can you even boot into the OS at all? Do a factory reset?

I cannot turn the phone on what so ever. I was flashing my backup through fastboot then tried to reboot and now it will no longer turn on. I fastboot erased recovery, system, userdata, and boot and restored them from the nandroid backup I had taken prior to the error. The day prior I had rooted successfully and flashed the desire z port. I decided I wanted to try the HD port so I wiped and flashed the rom. When I rebooted it got to the lockscreen and it showed some graphical corruption then began to boot loop. I turned it off and went to recovery and thats when the CACHE errors started. Was I supposed to wipe the dav cache because I am pretty sure I did. I just want to find out what I did wrong so it won't happen to me or anyone else.

Between ROM's, you said you wiped. What did you wipe? Cache? Dalvik? Partition?
You said you're not too sure so I am going to assume you either didn't wipe something you should have or you did wipe something you shouldn't have.
Try this. Remove the battery for 10 minutes. When the battery is removed, hold the power button for about 2 minutes. This will drain any residual current left on the board. After the 10 minutes are up, try reinserting the battery, hold the volume- button and try to power on. We'll see if you can manage to boot into recovery at this point.

Okay I will give that a try thanks.
I had the same error just right now man
What you want to do is format the cache partition when you get the thing booted.

Did you do that and did it fix? I did that through adb and thats when it stopped booting, although I think the boot issue is unrelated to my current problem.
i did it via clockwork
Alright, I will try this if I can ever get my phone started again.
When you click wipe shouldn't it say something like complete? I'm using cwm3 ext4 trying to wipe my stats but it doesn't say anything. Does it normally say anything
ive never seen it say anything either. im using cwm3 as well.
Does it matter to wipe battery stats after flashing a kernel, then doing a bump charge? ...Just to recalibrate it, and get an accurate read.
I've never wiped battery stats since I've had this phone.

I only wipe after major changes. Stuff that would effect performance a lot
Sent from my HTC EVO shift 4G running the latest and greatest cyanogen using the XDA app.
No, it doesn't matter to wipe battery stats after flashing kernel. It only matters when the /data/ partition gets wiped, because that's where the battery stats file is stored. That only means whenever you do factory reset, which wipes /data/ of course

Yes it helps. Here's a good guide for Battery Calibration.

So basically when flashing a new ROM, I would do a full wipe, and that too would erase battery stats?
I don't let my phone die fully, charge it completely, or even bump charge it after I do a full wipe. Should I start doing that?
Evo SHIFT
If you're flashing an updated version of the same ROM over the old version, you usually don't have to wipe, and don't have to do anything with battery stats. I think if you do a full wipe and flash a new ROM, try to do it when your battery is full. If not, just charge it to full and wipe battery stats later. Bump charging is debatable, and up to you.
I have a question about wiping battery stats, I managed to soft brick my rom so I reflashed to stock. Should I wipe battery stats again just like installing custom roms or no?

no.
theres actually nothing you need to wipe the battery stats for. its more of a choice if you want to wipe them. it doesnt affect anything when flashing/reverting.
