What the hell...?!?!?

Hey All,
First I want to apologize if this isn't the place for this thread or if this has been brought up before.
Now onto what I came here for. I have a myTouch 3G phone (the one without the jack) and I have rooted my phone a couple of months ago. The rooting process went fine and currently I'm running the CyanongenMod 4.2.15.1 rom on my phone. It's running fine as it should be. Now my dilemma is when I tried to update to CM 5.0.7 or 5.0.8. At first when I flashed the rom, I thought everything was fine during the setup process but then when it came to using any Google apps, none of them seem to work with the exception of GTalk and Google Maps. I've tried the troubleshooting guide where it says to do the fix_permissions but that didn't work at all. After about 3 days of trial and error, I finally admitted defeat and flashed back to CM 4.2.15.1. I also came to the conclusion that my phone will only take 1.5 & 1.6 roms whereas any roms 2.0 and above will not work correctly. I even tried to flash CM 6.0 RC1 and it got stuck at the green boot screen.
My question is there something wrong with my phone or am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else ran into this problem? Please let me know because I would love to have the 2.0 and above roms on my phone.
Thanks in advance

Did you do a full wipe and then upgrade?

Yes I did a complete wipe, even did the command that you do in fastboot

u gotta install the google pack i think....for that u will find it in cyanogen forums

If you mean by installing the gapps after flashing the rom, I've done that already. Also I've even reflashed the gapps again just to make sure and I also tried the fix_permissions and that didn't work either.
I also saw that the browser was acting funny too (not sure if that's part of gapps)

Hello,
In your sign, you're using an old rom with the old method of app2sd (on /system/sdcard/), newer rom uses /sd-ext/ but 1.6.2 recovery is not compatible with the new method.
Not sure but try to update your recovery with 1.7.0.
Good luck, Scargoll.

scargoll, i failed to mention that I'm already using Amon Ra's 1.7G recovery image. I need to update my sig (my bad). also as i stated before, i tried upgrading to CM 5.0.8 and running into issues, that's why i'm still running CM 4.2.15.1

Yup. Wrong section. I'll move to General when I get back home.

jeff, if i'm correct the FRF91 Google Addon is for the CM 6.0 RC1 rom and i don't have a MyTouch 3G 1.2 32A phone to be using the EBI1 port.

Well, since you say so, your phone is just jacked.

Have you tried reflashing the whole ROM and GAPPS again? See if a different version of cyanogenmod works for you.

appledroid, i've tried relashing both CM 5.0.7 and CM 5.0.8 roms gapps. the roms flashes fine but when it comes to using the gapps (with the exception of GTalk & Maps), they either close without a warning or i get a app loop (GMail does that most before it finally closes without warning)

sounds to like your running out of space on a partition while flashing. try fireat's mtd partition hack and see if it works for u.
flash the 1.1 zip
flash cm6
flash gapps
flash 1.2 zip
and then reboot

hey chris,
running out of space on a partition - are you talking about the space on the phone or on the SD Card? if it's the SD Card, not sure how that's possible when I have 4GB card (also it's not partitioned as of now but before I did have it partitioned)
if i follow this route, do i need to flash CM 6 or can I flash CM 5.0.8?
also where can i find the 1.1 and 1.2 zip files?
in any case, i'll try both to see what's up

um does anyone know what chris is talking about?

c'mon....anyone?

hey im not to sure why u cant switch to the latest cm roms. cause mine is doing fine on every updates.
i use clockworkmod recovery
try redownloading the rom. while downloading, watch ur downloading progress bar, makesure u have good internet connection. do not let the data connection change speed( switching from 3g to e or g) do not let phone switch from portrait to landscape.
if any of the above does happen you will have to cancel current download then redownload.
try to download cm6 rc3 - its 2.2 and it have lots of goodies. gapps are also preinstall
well i had this problem too... i was stuck on green screen... setup abort... gapps was acting up... so i did the above and everything is fine...
i hope this works for
rooted mt3g 32b cm6-rc3 htcClay 1.3

forgot to mention... since u have this problem, i recommend a full wipe... i dont kno if it is ok to flash without wipe from cm4 to cm5 or 6... flashing rom over another rom is wat i normally do... cause i hate reinstalling apps

Mytouch 3g: Tried to flash updated radio, now its in a loop!

Hey, long time reader and modder and this is the 1st time I've had a problem with a Mytouch 3g, tried to flash the updated radio image (not allowed to post link as a I'm a new member)
But now it turns itself on and after 5 seconds it restarts again!
I'm running CM6 and I'm worried I may have screwed it (it's not my MT3G, it's my bros).
Tried to downgrade it back to the original radio but it isn't taking that either!
Please help!

What radio? 2.22.23.02 or whatever? (I'm on my phone lol). Have u tried full wipe and reflash everything?

johnson's way is probably the most practical. though you would lose everything (if you dont have a backup) its better than having a paperweight.

yeah that's the radioI flashed, and the radioI came from was the upgradeable radio mentioned in the upgraded radios thread (ends in 26i I believe). tried a full wipe and reflash and out its still getting stuck. I have the stock spl on the phone; could that be the problem?

he isn't so bothered about his data (I accidentally deleted all his data when I flashed cm6 )

I have stock spl on mine and didnt have any prob. updating radio. Maybe you should re-download radio and try full wipe and re-flash new download. What method did you use to do this to your phone? Have you tried any other roms? Did you make a nandroid backup when you rooted? What recovery are you using?
I have a mt3g rooted. Using amon ra 1.7.0 recovery. You want that one so get it if you dont have it. Wipe everything in recovery. Put the radio and rom on your sd card. Flash radio and reboot. See if it boots up as it should. If it does then go back into recovery and flash the rom.(Im using chromatic 4.2 based off cm6). See if it boots up as it should. Keep us informed

Have tried to redownload the radio 3 times - It says that is 8.77MB on the download but when viewing on my computer it says its 9.2MB on disk, is this normal?
Tried a full wipe before reflashing the CM6 and google add on, then restored the nandroid, all to no avail, will try the rom you stated as well as a 1.6 ROM to see if it's a problem with the ROM I'm using which doesn't like the updated radio.
I'm using Amon_Ra 1.6.2 (RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G) and have used it since I rooted the thing quite a while ago, should I update it to 1.7.0?
I'll let you know what happens.

You should update recovery absolutely. The Rom I am using isn't 1.6. Its 2.2 froyo. I'm not sure that's normal about dl size. What a weird issue. Try new Rom and get back with me

Right, I tried a totally different ROM which isn't based off CM6 and it loads and DOESNT reboot the phone over and over, however the android.process.acore wasn't working - this could be the actual ROM with the problem but I don't know - just about to try another ROM to see...

What Rom did u try? Did u try goin to terminal typing in su. Hit enter get# sign then type fix_permissions and see what happens?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App

Right I tried a different ROM (couldn't find the chromatic ROM you are using, so I used FroyoRedux 1.6) and it is working perfectly - must have been the CM6 ROM which doesn't seem to agree with my phone/radio - even though this ROM is based off the CM nightly builds it seems to be working perfectly fine.
Thanks a lot for your help mate, you were a great help.

No problem. Glad u got it worked out. Chromatic 4.3 is in the g1 development section. I assume your phone took the radio img ok? Happy to help

Very Few ROMs or kernels work on my DHD

Basically, I have s-off and the official clockwork mod recovery installed. However, the same problems occurred with paul's version of custom recovery.
When flashing, I always go through the process of erasing all the partitions via mounts and storage, then i erase davlik cache and battery stats.
Then I install the ROM by the zip install.
And with kernels, I just install (not aware of any other steps that are needed)
But this is where I come unstuck. I am currently on RaiderX303's Cyanogen port. But I can't get any other roms to work. The same with kernels. Basically, flashing always completes with no errors, but then it crashes/stops at the second spash. So on core droid, it crashes on the android with a green circle going round it.
Anyone got any idea why this might be happening? Couldnt find any reference to it from anyone else.

Anyone got any idea?

tried getting clockworkmod from rom manager? the earlier version has a bootloop issue

I have the same problem with the Core Droid Rom, I believe its the kernal it has,some devices don't like it. The phone don't like the overclock, Infact not many do work on my device.

When you say erasing the partitions , do you mean wiping?, I personally would try installing ROM Manager from the market and letting that install the rom from SD, select wipe and backup before flashing and see if that helps at all, Can you flash the CM RC-1?

I can flash that and also the leeDroid and hd Rom. Just don't like the core Droid and buzz kernals
Sent from my Desire HD

yep I am installing by wiping, but on the last install I used rom manager and still the same problem. Just like vimto, I think it may be the Buzz kernel, so I will try a different kernel and see.

There are some strange issues, camera not working for some of us on raiderx303's ROM, which seem to point to possible hardware variation I wonder if this is a symptom of the same issue?, CoreHD uses buzz kernel as default doesn't it?
But didnt you say you had issues with the MCR? that is based on stock rom so am surprised at that

Yep, I was thinking the same. Maybe EU/US difference. I think the Kaiser has about 4 versions didnt it?

[Help] Did I Brick My Mytouch4g?

MODS: I am unsure of where to post this so sorry for the trouble.
So I work for Tmobile and love showing off my rooted mytouch 4g in all its glory.
So I requested a warranty exchange and got a TAIWAN VERSION w/ GOOD SCREEN in return. Like Day and Night.
Upon Receiving my warranty exchange phone it was 2.2.1. I attempted the same Visionary Root Process, (however was there some extra file i needed to DL? i forget)
After rooting my new phone, S-Off, I had flashed FAUX stock kernel 0.4.0b.
THEN THIS HAPPENS:
I cant get past the mytouch 4g splash screen. The first logo that appears. It gets stuck or bootloops. I can HBOOT and get into recovery 3.0.0.5
This is all i can do...i already asked for another warranty exchange...but in the meanwhile..how can i fix this problem or what did i do wrong?
ALSO can you backup one mytouch 4g and load it back up on another mytouch 4g with the same sd card? Thanks!

I had this problem with my MT4G when I flashed his kernal. It seems that his kernals are not designed to work with every 4g device. I hope you did a nandroid backup on the device. I was never able to get past the mytouch splash screen with his kernals

Well, at since you can get into recovery there should be a number of things you can do to get your phone to boot.

Download a new ROM to flash, if you are on clockwork 3 then you need CM7.
Clockwork has usb drive ability, turn it on, transfer the ROM then flash.

If you can get into HBoot or Recovery on ANY phone, you're safe. Hell, if you can't get into HBoot, your phone wouldn't even start up since HBoot is basically the equivalent to BIOS.

THE VERSION OF CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY YOU USE IS CRITICAL!!!
The version you are using is for Android 2.3 only.
Flash a v2 Recovery with adb or fastboot and reinstall your kernel, or install CM7.

I am trying to do this. How would I get my comp.to.recognize the devise. Sometimes it says mass storage device detected sometimes not. So I need cm7 rom to b able.to boot?

If you've ever connected it via USB, it should have installed the drivers automatically (at least on Windows). I think the ADB driver only installs if you had "USB Debugging" checked. Mass Storage usually only refers to mounting the SD card; the driver for ADB is different. Look for something like Android Phone or Android ADB Interface in your device manager (again assuming Windows).
If you have ADB set up, try running the adb devices command. If it spits back the serial number of your phone, you should be okay to proceed.

Don't exchange the phone, fix it...
Just use another phone to copy the latest CM7 to the root of your sdcard and flash, if that doesn't work do the same thing with a PD15IMG.zip file to the root of your sdcard, hboot and restore to stock.
I have no problem with someone doing a warranty exchange for a hardware issue, but if you break your phone, don't make someone else pay for it...

i ended up solving the problem by doing what some of you had suggested. I flashed CM7 and WAH-LaH! when the phone got past the splash screen into CM7 i was on cloud 9.
Now What are the benefits of running CM7? as opposed to going back to Sense w/ Faux kernel again?
PLUS
how would i go back to a sense type rom again? would i go back into rom manager and flash a different recovery?
XDA you have been so helpful!
___bonus__also the haptic feedback on this phone was not as strong as my original..though idk if its just me or not..should i call tmobile and stop shipment of the OTHER phone? how is it i have a taiwan version plum W/ good screen?

There are no Sense-based Gingerbread (Android 2.3) ROMs available now ... Best practice its to make a Nandroid backup of CM7 with your installed CWM Recovery, then flash a version 2.x of CWM Recovery to install any Froyo (Android 2.2) based ROM.

Good to see it is working.
Its mostly personal preference at this point. Sense on the MT4G is pretty responsive and has some nice features. CM7 has its own tweaks and features. You loose the sense widgets but many can be replaced with alternatives in the market. You gain and loose relative in both ROMs So try out both and decide.
Use ROM Manager app to flash a new recovery. One of the 2. versions, then flash a froyo based ROM.

what about flashing kernels..are those "roms"
is cm7 itself pretty battery efficient? i still downloaded setcpu and set it to 11---.
2.XXX ..u mean like 2.5.1.4 for example..sorry not lookin at the phone atm.
++bonus
i also dl the cynogyn updater or wut not..wut url do i add for themes?

Kernels are not ROMs, the kernel is the underlying software of an OS. The kernel talks to the hardware and lets different parts of the OS communicate. Kernels are ROM specific, or Framework specific. A sense ROM can not use a AOSP kernel and vice versa.
CM ROMs can be good on battery, or not. It all depends on personal use and how you set it up.
That is a good recovery to use when flashing sense ROMs.
Not sure about the updater. If it is the one I am thinking, it hasn't been updated in a while. I think it has been abandoned in favor of ROM Manager. CM updater did come in some of his older ROMs, before ROM manager became the norm.

So I can or cannot flash fauxs kernel. I really liked the smartass profile. Also..I'm on cm 7 now...y do I get force closes on my market.

As people have already said, you used the wrong version of clockwork, also, use clockwork to flash a new rom. And make sure you use the right version.

Try fix permissions. If that does not work, do a full wipe (factory reset). If that still does not work, try re-flashing the ROM.
If you flashed a new kernel before you started having issues, this may fix it, or you may need to wipe caches and re-flash the kernel.

Hey guys, i really need help here

I'm currently using the wildfire. I rooted it and installed rom manager.
I did backup my rom (CWRv3.2.0) and installed the wildpuzzle rom (Newest one).
But i think forgot to wipe off the data. After installing the rom, it booted fine but it says that my phone memory was low.
I waited for a very long time but it does not respond. Hence, i thought something was wrong and tried to go to cwr and did a factory reset.
But now it gives me a black screen after the htc logo.
And after 10 to20 minutes and it still does not respond. I went back and did a restore(before the wildpuzzle rom I've installed)and it came out that my phone cannot boot and stucked in a loop. (after 2 turns it went back to cwr)
I'm scared that i might bricked my phone.
Help please! Much appreciated!

When you do a Factory Reset in Clockworkmod, you need to flash a ROM again. Also, if you read the thread completely, WildPuzzle 2.3.2 does NOT work. It was released untested by danne (as he stated), and, various tests by users show it didnt boot.
EDIT: And if you are talking about Android 2.2 Sense ROM's, you will need to flash it using Clockworkmod 2.x. They are not supported on 3.x

So do i have to flash a new rom like CyanogenMod ? Sorry, I'm a complete noob at these. Edit: Its the Wildpuzzle 2.2 froyo v0.8 rom.

Yeah flash the CyanogenMod 7 ROM. But before you install this ROM please make sure to Wipe the data, Clear cache partition and also to clear dalvik cache and then proceed to install the CM7 ROM

Yes! Thanks a lot! Flashed Cm7 Nightly Builds 2.3.4. Running perfectly
EDIT: Wifi does not connect lol, stucked on locating ip address.
