[Q] - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need some help installing roms. I am not new to installing roms, I have been installing roms since I had my T-mobile wing. Then I got a G1 and rooted that as well. I have 3.0.2.4 recovery installed and I am trying to install Viritous newest rom 1.1.5. I have installed before 1.05 and it worked fine I just changed it to another one. My problem is once the phone loads the rom it just bootloops to the white Mytouch4G screen. I have wiped cached and format as well. I haven't wiped the SD card yet. I hope I don't have to.

How long do you wait on the white screen?

Make sure you wipe the dalvik also. How are you trying to to install the rom through rom manager or actually from recovery itself?

Actually just check out the stickies in this section. The first one covers this pretty in depth.

Yeah I had that issue once did a hotboot and restored to my nandroid backup. I was sweating it though for sure!

New ota update has anyone flashed?

Has anyone actually flashed the new ota that has come out on a stock non rooted device. I've seen that its floating around although I haven't seen any conformation that people have successfully flashed it and that it works.

Would like to know if it can be applied to a rooted iconia or if I should unroot first.

It's an incremental, not a full ROM. It should work fine rooted, but if you've altered, frozen, renamed or deleted ANY original files, it will fail.
See I haven't rooted at all and have the version 1.141.07 so it should be okay to update right? The worst thatll happen is it fails to install and I just go back to what I had before correct?
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
That is correct.
So just to confirm I wont lose my current data?

Not if you flash the FOTA when your tablet notifies you, no.
Ah I know that, I'm talking about flashing the one posted on the forums

It's a full ROM. When flashing a full ROM, it's always best to wipe data first. You can try without doing that; it might be fine, it might not.
Worst that can happen is you'd have to go back into recovery and wipe.
Do a backup first, a nandroid one in case you want to rollback, and a Titanium one for your apps and data for easy reinstallation.
Hmm, I thought the one on the forum was an incremental to 3.1?

Hi All
I've also got the system prompt to update to 1.141.07 (39.71MB). I have not rooted and have three numpty questions-
1.This I understand is not the Honeycomb 3.1 update?
2.Also I'm in the UK and got my Iconia in the USA- that does not have any effect on updating does it? I mean setting wise?- (dumb but I'm being very cautious!)
3.The Wifi issue people are having with this update is related to ROOTED tablets?
Cheers all
I was rooted and I flash the full from everything is working fine right now!

Unity Virtuous 2.37 Front Camera not working on mytouch4g

Ok, some how i tested the front camera on mytouch 4g to take a picture, but i notice that it was not working.
So, tried and tried but the onlyt hing that came out it was that only black screen, and freezes.
Since i installed the ROM i did not test the front camera until now.
Is there any fix?

Just do a complete wipe and flash the rom again. May be FFC will work now.
If you still face problems try any other roms than VU.
Also try the ffc without any themes. Some themes break stuff.

Yea. Just go into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik under advance and reflash the rom.
Once it boots up just fix permission in rom manager, reboot and try the ffc without any mods.

Hi

Hi guys im new here and new to all this, i only got my wildfire a couple of days ago and was wondering on how to mod it and do all the things you guys have going on on your phones?

Don't worry bricking your phone is unlikely unless you do something silly and don't follow the guides correctly.

Welcome to the section. Check out the guides for rooting and installing custom roms on your phone. There isn't really a big chance of getting your phone bricked. Once you root it, you'll feel alot safer because the worst thing that can happen is a bootloop. (Which can be repaired!)

Try it with and without the phone plugged in. I think you'll probably have to have it plugged in.

okay i did all that now its stuck on the cyanogen loading screen what can i do
You've done the hard part don't worry its not broken. It should take around 5-10 minutes for first boot anyway so if its only been a minute or two and the rhythm of the boot logo is still turning smoothly and not pausing or restarting just leave it a little longer but if the logo freezes and restarts over and over this is called a bootloop. Easily fixed by rebooting into recovery again then select the wipe menu and wipe dalvik cache, cache and data then install your cm7 zip again. Everything should work then.

hmm i may have ruined it then for i just re did the installing of RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_130814
then left it at that for it worked then lol, is there anything i can do to get it actually done from there

yes i can still get to clockwork recovery by rebooting into hboot and going through recovery, ive also got the super user app in my apps
Just check in hboot that you are s-off and as you can still get recovery you're good to go, remember to wipe dalvik cache, cache and data when changing roms, if its an update you might get away with not wiping data sometimes. You'll get the hang of it soon enough. Before you flash cm7 again just run the backup in cwm then if it goes wrong again you can just restore.

[Q] HELP! stuck flashing recovery!!!

I need help flashing a recovery on my phone. I'm a noob when it comes to rooting phones and such, I have tried many different things such as goomanager and using rom manager. If anyone could possibly explain in details on what to do, or link me to a possible solution
-I'm already perma rooted
-I have s-off
-I have a clockwork on the phone but whenever I click a section, it comes up blank (Rom manager)
-Installed recovery from ROM Manager

First off, this is the wrong section. But don't worry, everyone makes mistakes lol.
And now for the recovery. If you could get into your phone, like start it up and stuff. Install this app --> http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
Then install the app and open it. The rest is straight forward. It will install the recovery for you. Hope it helps.
Well if u installed recovery from ROM manager then u already flashed a recovery. U can boot into recovery from ROM manager app.
The link that notorious is providing is to flash a different recovery in the same way.

Downloading will try it
Downloading and backup up my current ROM. Will try.
**edit*
Tried twice, after wipe (both times) first try I installed the the VISIONFLASHFIRST (did this change my version of ext4?), flashed ROM (RandomROMv101.zip) and OTA (OTARandomROMDesireHD1222.zip) rebooted and waited > 45min and stuck on htc One white screen. Second try I wiped and only flashed the ROM and same results.
My options was the sms on lock screen, and I selected (which I guess does not remove) all apps that didn't start with HTC.
Also adb devices shows no device so I was unable to get a logcat for you.
Going back to old rom.
