Hi. I am using sprint lovers ROM and love it. I got the phone axactly how I want it so I decided that I wanted to back up the ROM. I downloaded ROM manager from the market. I went to the firstpart in the UI in Rom manager, I cant remember what it says but I guess it kinda recognizes what you have. I selected HTC EVO. After that I went down to backup. It gave me a date and some numbers, which I deleted the last couple of numbers and left the date and then labeled it sprint lovers. I clicked OK. It then "supposively" saved the ROM and asked me to reboot the phone, so I did. Now it is stuck on the white HTC EVO 4G screen for about 15 minutes now. What the heck do I do now???? I never had this much trouble with my HTC hero!

Hi all,
i am using HTC G1 phone. I rooted the phone and flashed it with Hero ROMs. I flashed 6 ROMs one after another and all worked ok. A couple of days earlier i downloaded an application (5MB size) and when i started the application the phone crashed. It started giving me force close on all applications. I re started the phone and then it did not go beyond the first screen which says "T-Mobile G1".
i tried to recreate the partitions and flash again but no luck.
My last Hero ROM was SenseHero.
The recovery image is working fine. I have Cyanogen 1.4 recovery image.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Okay, i was having some problems with my phone so I went by t-mobile. He said that there was a new software update and asked if I had backed up my phone. I said no. He said to do that first...
When I got home i tried to microsoft my phone. After about 45 mins of downloading, i gave up. Then tried active sync. I thought that I only needed to backup my contacts and calendar. Wrong!!
This is where I went wrong...
I missed the step that said, "take out your storage card before performing software upgrade". and with that said. my whole phone was wiped out. I had nine icons left after update.

Everything else. Gone!! Camcorder, flashlight, etc. gone.
I called T-mobile and they said that there was nothing that they could do.
So that brings me here. Is there anything that I can do to bring this phone back to the way it was when I purchased it?
Yep. Sure is. Download the stock T-Mobile US 2.13 ROM and flash it, should return your device back to bone stock.
Thank you! A couple questions...
When I download the 2.13 version, do I download it with my storage card installed?
When you say flash it, what exactly does that entail?
You can, or you can remove it...doesn't really matter as flashing doesn't touch your SD card. And by flashing I mean running the update with your phone connected to your computer.
Hey everyone.
I would appreciate some help or suggestions. Maybe someone will know the problem, which I can't seem to figure out. First thing first, I couldn't post in the release thread because I don't have the proper post count.
Anyways, I am not new to installing ROMs on my phone. I can install and run CyanogenMOD easily, and have done so many times. My phone is rooted. So I went from the stock ROM on the MyTouch 4G to CyanogenMOD 7, with no problems. I used it for a while, and then when I saw Virtuous Fusion come out, I wanted that installed. I had tons of trouble getting it to work, even though I was doing everything I was supposed to do. Reset my phone, cleared all caches and data, pretty much cleared everything out. I tried installing from the zip several times in clockwork recovery, and it wouldn't get me past the boot screen. The boot screen would either loop forever, and never get past it, or the boot screen would load up for 3 seconds and then the screen would go completely black (in a state where it looked like the phone turned off).
Eventually, after about the 10th install (which were done all the same exact way), the Fusion ROM decided to work on me and everything went perfectly. This was the first day it was released. I saw the ROM has been through some updates, so I decided to do the recommended clean install of the new version. I am having the same problem as I did before with the boot screen. I temporarily flashed Cyanogenmod so I can have a working phone again, but I would really like to be on Fusion. My favorite ROM out of all the ones I have tried. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
What version of ClockworkMod are you using? Make sure you're on 3.0.2.4 to insure ultimate reliability. Also verify the MD5 hash that eViL provides before flashing. Not doing so means you could have any number of problems caused by a corrupt file download.
Are you rebooting into ROM MANAGER. This ROM is not suppose to be loaded while in the Android OS.
So.... I was stuck at the M logo after trying to update to a newer version of MIUI. I successfully SBF'd back to stock froyo and my phone won't activate. When the activation call tells me to press "1", it simply goes silent.
Now I somehow bypassed the activation screen, I don't think that was a good idea because it forced me to connect via wifi. I just said "screw it anyway" and went ahain to reroot. Then I installed CM7 (since I current don't have the MIUI zip I was previously running on my phone). Now I am stuck at the CM7 logo. Not sure if I should SBF again or what I should do. I'm kinda freaked.
Also, I have never had a problem SBFing before. This seems more serious than before.
Update: Wiping data allowed me to boot up in CM7. Still cannot activate my phone. Whenever it prompts me to press "1", all I get is complete silence.
I'm currently at UT Dallas, so I don't think location is a problem is it? Actually it shouldn't be because I bricked my phone here before. Had to reactivate it and it worked great.
Man, this is the first time my phone won't activate.
Yes I know I am posting a lot, but since no one is here to help currently I'm trying things out on my own.
I tried restoring a nandroid I had of CM7 previously. Man I thought this was always a failsafe....
Just thinking of things I did since the last time I activated my phone. I updated something (radio version, I don't really know much about it), it was supposed to make my 3G faster or whatever. But I mean I've SBF'd, factory reset and everything, so that shouldn't be an issue?
Gosh dang, I just want my phone back the way it was 2 hours ago.
One of the reasons nandroid might not be working is that I might have a different version of clockwork on my phone. I remember before having a version where the test was blue, but I forgot the version number. Now the one I get with rom manager is green (like the one I had before I got the blue one).
Man I am sooo confused here. I am completely at a loss. I am out of ideas. I need help.
So I realized I did not have the second init version of clockwork. I just flashed that, and I'm waiting to see if I will get any errors. If I get this to work I am going to flash the version of MIUI I had and try to restore my more recent nandroid (since Ive gotten MIUI).
Yup problem solved. Not sure what was causing the problem, but at least its solved. I'm gonna be extra careful next time I flash something.
About 6 months ago I bricked my lg g2 and bought a new one and was able to root it and added a custom rom. I then was actually able to fix my old phone and gave the new one to my wife and then I had to redo the phone and now there are bad spots on the screen. When you hit home it doesn't do anything and when you try to type a text and hit a certain letter it'll show one of the other letters around it, so you have to keep rotating the phone to get it work. She has different phone now, so I reset it to factory settings, but it still is messed up, I was able to root it with stumproot and installed twrp (which was very hard because where you swipe is the bad spot). I installed cloudystock 2.7 and the spots are still dead. I'm just curious if installing a custom rom could have messed with the digitzer or if it actually went bad.
If it worked fine before messing with custom roms, then it likely got messed up from one of the roms you flashed. I can't believe you bought a new one and immediately rooted and flashed a custom rom on it...one would think that you learned you lesson from the first time...
I find it hilarious how people think custom roms are somehow better than stock since most are pure garbage with terrible performance and reliability - if they don't brick your phone...
Tot back to stock and if it still has the spots, then it's almost certainly a hardware issue and you'll need a new screen/digitizer.
First off, this wasn't the first time I've done this before. I've rooted all my phones and put custom roms on them and got a hold of a bad one that messed it up. I was just curious if a ROM could do that. I didn't see any issues with installing a custom ROM on a phone that I just got, like I said before this wasn't the first time I've done.
