I am currently running DJ05 and have the Voodoo5 lagfix installed... I did a dumb thing by trying to flash a rom from Rom Manager. I was told when installing Voodoo5 lagfix that I would have to disable_lagfix before flashing any roms but I didn't do that before flashing (I know I'm dumb). So now after it "installed", my phone restarted and the screen was just white or like how a tv channel was back in the day when you didnt have that channel (white snow). I tried wiping data/cache and restoring a backup I made before flashing the rom but it didnt work. It just had a bunch of force closes and wiped everything. What can I do to get my phone back running?
Try to restart your phone while holding down on both volume buttons to get into recovery, and reflash a voodoo kernel to see if it works. If it does, you can then disable voodoo and go back to whatever you want to use, or keep the voodoo kernel on the new rom.
Also, this should have been posted in general, not development.
Hmm, the white snow thing seems to be the boot animation for geeknik's 1.96 kernel, or at least I got it on boot after updating my kernel to that. Don't see why the phone would do that otherwise because there aren't any analog signals involved here. But for me it boots up fine after the white snow.
Did you flash a kernel too?
I had this problem so I just completely removed voodoo and started new. Oh well, I won't flash voodoo until I can understand it.

Oh, it's actually the Gingerbread boot animation.

So I decided to give Tranquility a test and see how it compares to my currently running ApeX. I followed the usual procedures, data wipe/factory reset.....twice.
then installed TranQ and the TranQ App update.
The phone then boots up and freezes on the animation screen. So i reset it, then it won't boot at all past the Logo screen. Randomly it decides to boot up fine, but then 30 seconds of android and it reboots and freezes up.
So for some reason it won't let me boot into clockwork recovery, so i decide to just do the system only SBF it and be done.
So I've SBF'd it twice now, the first time it did a random restart and froze, and also kept the tranq boot animation. I did the 2nd sbf and it's got rid of the animation screen and back to droid, however the tranq boot logo is there.
I haven't proceeded to reactivate the phone yet, and just leaving it alone it hasn't restarted itself. I'm planning on rerooting and reinstalling clockwork recovery and see if i can get one of my old backups going.
But, any theories to what would have jacked it up so bad? and why the stock moto logo wasn't put back when SBF'ing?
update:
rerooted just fine using Z4, installed clockwork recovery just fine too.
Right now I'm doing a data wipe and reinstalling ApeX 1.3.1 from scratch from clockwork recovery. Then I'm gonna restore one of my backups.
Hopefully all goes well
update:
recovered to my backup just fine. Still didn't get rid of the tranq boot logo, thankfully i had a zip stored away of the stock logo so I installed that.
All is now well in the world.
Lesson from this......if it's working fine, leave yo sht alone!
Logo is stored in different place then a system sbf will update. That's not tranQ 's fault. I still use gummyJar though. Too much blur in TranQ for me
I had the exact same problem when I went from fission to tran q. I literally had to do the. 320 sbf then the. 340 sbf to get tran q to install right. Didn't like it and put fission back on
yea i had to do the same thing comming from fission, and because of it i am just staying on tranquility until Obsidian is more stable, then GOODBYE BLUR :-D
The trick to installing TranQ is to install it over stock. If you try to install it over another custom ROM you will have nothing but problems.

I feel your pain, but you shouldn't be discouraged (as long as you Nandroid, Nandroid, Nandroid!).
I also spent a week fiddling with TranQ before giving up due to random reboots. But I went ahead and installed GummyJar. It was worth it!
When you're ready to climb back onto the horse, you should try GummyJar. If you prefer a no-bur ROM, it's probably the best in terms of speed and stability.
well i had tried Gummy before, but it was a little buggy for me. Phone would restart after calls, hardware buttons wouldn't always work and a few other little things.
I actually just switched to Fission and it's pretty brilliant thus far. No problems at all, and the fission manager helps a lot

IT IS TranQ's fault. It is the only ROM that does this. Before you get rid of Tranq, you have to go in to the tools and set your boot logo back to stock. I have flashed many different ROMs and it is the ONLY ONE that makes sure to "leave its mark," LITERALLY.
had same problem when I went from fission. I had to sbf .32 then sbf .34 then did the tran q and it worked just fine after that. I didn't like it to much so I went back to fission. To get rid of the tran q I just did the same sbf method I did and went back to fission.

You're right on w/this..Its too bad I found out the hard way..
Hey Everyone, I thought I'd share how I got 2.2 working on DL05 Fascinate.
I had voodoo5 installed, running cwred
1.) You need to download the rom, and the new CWR
2.) Disable Voodoo5 in Red CW and then flash the new CW GREEN, after you do that reboot your phone, let it disable voodoo it will take time (5 min) on my side.
Soon as it boots up to the fascinate, pull the battery, and reboot into the new CW GREEN.
4.) Flash new Rom, and then wipre date and cache! and done! It takes awhile to boot, I thought mine froze on the Verizon screen for like 4 min.
I have flash, and HID!
Please Do not hold me responsiblity if you brick your phone!
This is just personal experience if you have any questions please let me know, I hope i've helped you!
They've added some stuff, which of course we all wanted froyo. But they have a new app called media hub, for movies, tv shoes, and such. Also you can turn on and off auto rotation, and your mobile data from the drop shade! also you can now sync with yahoo, and hotmail. all share and has google search as your auto, no more bing!
Thanks! There was something about CWR not working on this build, is that still the case? And I heard (from a file apparently posted by Adrynalyne) that SMS and MMS don't work, is there anything else that's not working? Really tempted to flash for the HID so I can use my mini bluetooth keyboard. I don't use SMS anyway (only Google Voice).
Edit: Oh, kaos said in that thread that this isn't the ROM that was on IRC. Cool!
Also, the new dropdown thingies sound awesome, I've been wanting those two forever. And wow, no bing, really? That's really tempting then.
Edit 2: Where'd you get the new CWR?
There is a new CW, floating around somewhere SMS and MMS work great, Also found out you can change your font from the settings menu!
I had a buddy give me the link, hold on

Is that specifically for voodoo or nonvoodoo kernels, and is it flashed with odin or straight through current clockwork?

So if your just running a regular rom, flash through GREEN Clock work, wipe date and cache, and your ready to rock n roll sir!
I'm running blackhole 3 with a nonvoodoo kernel. I'm using standard CW recovery, I don't know much about these green/red variants.

Download the new Clock Work above just in case, flash it. reboot your phone back into clockwork, install foyo, then do a data and cache, RED was only for voodoo
Ok thanks, I'm not interested in using voodoo
Yeah, so it should be a easy process for you
If you aren't running voodoo, just boot into whichever CWM you are using and flash the rom.
I was running VooDoo, so I did the following:
Boot to Red CWM
Disable lagfix
Install Green CWM through Odin
Boot to Green CWM, wipe, flash DL30_leak.zip
I just flash CWM Green with the new zip file. easier to do it that way.
Ugh my phone is unable to mount as mass storage and its driving me nuts... Just says its a cd drive despite multiple reboots. Anyone know of a fix yet?
Edit: Hmm made it ask every time I connect and that actually worked for mounting so if anyone has this problem, try that.
Turn the USB into DEBUG Mode, should get you rocking

Should I flash this if I am on a non-voodoo kernel? And if so, how do I do it? Just flash via CWM and it updates it?
Im stil running dj05 deodexed rom and koushs cwr. Can i flash the dl30.zip using my current recovery or what is the easiest way to get this running. At work so i can't get to odin if i have an issue. Appreciate any helpful responses!

So it's been a while since I've decided to flash a new ROM. With the addition of Froyo now, I went ahead and installed the leak with no problems. I had a question about my clockwork recovery though. When I first boot into recovery I get a screen with red lettering and options for voodoo...that was the first kernel I used after rooting. I then moved to a non voodoo kernel with DJ05. I also have the update.zip that takes me into what looks like yet another recovery that has green lettering with no voodoo options. If I use rom manager to boot into recovery, it takes me into the green one. I have a feeling I don't need the red one anymore...is there a way to clean all of this up so that I only have one clockwork recovery or is this the norm? Thanks in advance, I went through all of the clockwork installs, but nothing jumped out at me to whether or not this is normal or how to clean it up a bit.
i know this doesn't help you.. but where did you get the update.zip from.. i really need that lol.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913470
The update.zip is in that thread
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
The Green Recovery exists solely as an update.zip on the SDcard and does NOT modify the phone in any way. It also does not have support for ROMS and Nandroids (backups) when using Voodoo. The Red Recovery replaces the stock (blue) recovery on the phone (it DOES modify the phone's memory) and DOES support Voodoo.
Unless the Red Recovery is causing you some sort of problems I would highly suggest that you just leave it alone. There would be more risk in modifying your phone's memory again to go back to stock (blue) recovery.
I know all the different recoveries get confusing (red, blue, green) but each one does serve a purpose. I suspect that once Froyo is officially released and the kernel source is available we will get an updated Red recovery (or maybe they will pick a new color) that replaces the stock (blue) recovery and handles everything and there will no longer be a need for the green (update.zip based) recovery.
Martian21
Thanks Martian21, that does help. I figured taking out the red cw would be a pain, and everything is working just fine. I can nandroid and install Roms so I guess I'll just leave it. I suppose this way I can do voodoo later if I feel like it.
yea we know its a mess right now, were working on it.
That's cool. I wasn't trying to complain, was just seeing if I did something wrong to clutter it up. I can wait.
I have tried everything I can think of. Tried different radios, different ROM's, everything! I'm at wits-end! Every time I upgrade from DL09 to ANY 2.2 leak or ROM (and I mean ANY), the install goes smoothly but after the boot the screen sleeps and will not wake. I have duplicated it on every available leak/ROM and none work. Please! Does anyone have any ideas? I want some of that Froyo goodness.
Did you wipe both data and cache from CWM at least twice before installing any Froyo rom?
Posted from my EB01 SuperClean Fascinate with Voodoo
Are you talking about the first boot after loading the ROM, and the screen is black? The first boot always takes longer, and most of these ROMs don't have a boot animation. Are you letting the phone boot up completely?
Odin to DI01. Root with Adryn's new root instructions. Flash EB01 modem and your ROM of choice. Should fix everything like it did for me.
Yes. I wiped and wiped.

No, not the first boot. It boots completely and works just fine until it sleeps and then the phone wakes but the screen won't.

Ahhhhh. Now there's something I haven't tried. I will give this a shot and post the result. Thank you for your help in advance!
still dead
Ok. I Odin restored DI01 and rebooted. Everything went fine. I then installed the EB01 modem and CWM-all via odin. All good so far. I booted into Red CWR and installed super clean EB01 and rebooted. Again, the screen will NOT wake from sleep! I'm gonna pull my hair out!
HELP!

This might be a pain, but try doing all of that again but this time flashing a stock EB01 rom. Play around with it and make sure there's no issues, then flash a superclean rom.
That's what I did when I had your issue and it was resolved like that.
I can't reply to the NFX thread due to my post count, so here goes...
It's ashame that the NFX-HERO mod isn't maintained anymore. I haven't found any 2.x mods that I like, so I'm STILL sitting on Fresh Rom based off of 1.5.. I flashed my phone to the NFX-HERO ROM, and sometimes it boots up, and sometimes it doesn't.. When it doesn't boot, it'll just sit on the white HTC screen, or if it gets past that screen, it'll just sit on the NFX-HERO boot image, then just get stuck in a loop after 5 minutes. Removing the battery, rebooting the phone again, will sometimes get it online. Anyone have any idea what could be happening here? I didn't see anyone with the same issue, so it's likely phone related.
Did you do a full wipe first?

I never could get most of his roms loaded but the older one finally booted for me to do a prl/profile update a while back. He has like a few different roms out just try a older or newer one and you should fine one that will boot for you. Also like the prior post I recommend a full wipe data,cache,dev cache and sd/ext good luck

Try his latest updated rom and make sure to flash the kernel to go with. And of course wipe, wipe, wipe.

If you don't wipe SD-ext and you have data on there you can get boot loops. That is if you have it partitioned. Another issue could be the kernel has the CPU overclocked to high. Not sure if his were or not, but maybe flash a different kernel.

Still working on it. Making this a multi phone project has been a nightmare. Finally got something working, but there's a lot of code to be written. A form of data2ext will be included as a user variable. I would release one that works for our phone, but I want everyone using the same one so I don't get confused.

So far, I've done a system wipe, wiped dalvik, wiped cache, wiped SD.. Installed one of the two kernels, and it still hangs at the white HTC screen on 3 times out of 10, and won't get past the NFX Hero boot screen 5 out of those 10 times, and maybe it boots 2 times. I like the squared bottom of the dialer, same as w/ Fresh. I wish I could get to liking aosp, but just can't.

If you're using amon ra based recovery, try clockwork recovery (from rom manager app). Wipe sytem,data,cache. Go into mounts, format boot,system,data,cache. Go into advanced, wipe dalvik. For fun, repeat. Try decad3nce #43 capped at 691 (flash AFTER the ROM), see if she boots.
