so Im on a mytouch 4g running virtuous affinity, latest version, and Im having some problems that others dont seem to be having. my phone is having some issues sending and receiving texts and I cant figure out why.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
yes I did a full wipe before installing and have tryed it again but still does it
do you have wifi on or no? if yes, is your mobile data enabled also? might want to check your APN settings to see if theyre correct too

Is it possible that you aren't truly doing a full wipe? Leftovers from a previous rom can stay behind in various partitions and cause problems.
I have found that installing a new rom from ROM Manager is not the best method - I prefer installing from recovery. I am far from an expert, but I'll explain what I know about using recovery to do a full wipe. Please forgive me if you already know how.
Full wipe from recovery:
Booting into recovery
You can boot into recovery through the ROM Manager app, or from the power menu of some roms, or you can get to it from hboot. To get into hboot: with the power off hold both the volume-down and the power button until the display lights up. Then use the volume key to move the selection to "recovery" and use the power button to select it.
Now that you're in recovery
If you use CWM (ClockworkMod) recovery, you'll need to choose 'wipe data/factory reset' (which formats the data and cache partitions), then from the 'mounts and storage' menu choose 'format system', then from the ‘advanced’ menu, select 'wipe dalvik'.
If you use 4EXT Recovery Touch, from the 'wipe | format' menu choose 'format all partitions' and 'wipe dalvik cache'.
The above steps perform a full wipe, without affecting your SD card.

If you've never installed a rom from recovery, the following might help:
Installing (flashing) a rom from recovery:
From CWM recovery:
Choose 'install zip from sdcard' then 'choose zip from sdcard', then navigate to and choose the zip file of the rom.
Once the rom finishes installing, if it doesn't reboot automatically then go back to the main menu and choose 'reboot system now'.
From 4EXT Recovery Touch:
Choose 'install from sdcard' then 'choose zip from sdcard', then navigate to and choose the zip file of the rom.
Once the rom finishes installing, if it doesn't reboot automatically then go back to the main menu and choose 'reboot now'.

Also, I wouldn't recommend restoring system settings (using Titanium Backup or other methods) when you are switching roms. System settings from a different rom can also cause all sorts of issues.
If doing a full wipe does not fix your problem, you may try flashing a different kernel. My personal favorite for Sense roms like Affinity is TDJ's demonspeed kernel, found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1214489.
Hope this helps!
yeah this is how I usually do my roms, i dont install them from rom manager. and so im not really sure whats going on

Out of curiousity have you tried a 3rd party app, such as Handcent or GO SMS, to see if one of those works? I did manage to corrupt the stock messaging app once so that it couldn't send messages, but using a 3rd party app still worked fine.
This might help you to determine where the problem lies.
cant figure it out...
Ok so update on this, I switched radios i switched roms and even the kernel but nothing seems to be helping. its still having signal issues

well its not just the messaging, its also my internet signal. and the problem started when I was using handcent so its not that.. haha I cant figure it out
I'm not very experienced with misbehaving phones like yours, but if you've flashed different roms, radios, and kernels...
Assuming that you did all of these things properly, then I tend to think it is either a network issue where you live, or a problem with your phone's hardware.
Good luck!

haha thanx, I just think its weird that it started happening out of nowhere. it works fine when I restart the phone then starts doing it again in a short period of time
mine would do that from time to time, and it all but quit after i changed the radio image, but then again, i can't leave a rom on my phone longer than 2 days...lol as far as messaging and being able to send/receive, i had more problems out of mine completely stock than i ever did after a radio/rom flash
how did you fix the issues?
I think he said that flashing a different radio fixed it for him.
hmm tryed that already

On stock 2.1 from a brand new phone. Wanting to get a Bionix-V 1.2 rom installed to start with. (unless someone points out a more popular/stable/better rom to start with)
So I thought I was following the guide right but I cant figure out what.
NOOB GUIDE is what I was following. Here is where I think i messed up or got lost.
3 – Rom Manager / Clockwork Recovery
Now that you have your apps, system data & home settings saved, go to the Market to download Rom Manager (there is a paid and a free version, either will work, but I always suggest supporting developers if you can). We are going to use Rom Manager to install an alternate recovery, called Clockwork Recovery. This is what allows you to make a backup of your entire system (called a nandroid backup).
Once you download and install Rom Manager, open it, give it Root Access (Check to always remember if it's not already selected). At the top, click "Flash Clockwork Recovery" and after it has finished click to Reboot Into Recovery.
If this is your first time, you are very likely at the stock vibrant recovery (purple text)... click on Re-install packages. Your phone will reboot and should come back to the Clockwork Recovery (green text).
If at stock, click reinstall packages again (likely worked the first time).
Great, now you have a custom recovery. Scroll down (by using the volume buttons) and select (by using the power button) to backup your system. This will take about 5 minutes to complete. Once done, you have a complete snapshot of your phone that you should always be able to come back to.
I strongly encourage reading Koush's thread, you can find it here.
His installation instructions have more detail:
Installation instructions:
1.Download ROM Manager from the Market.
2.Flash Recovery.
3.Choose Vibrant as your phone.
4.Accept the Superuser prompt.
5.On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
6.Watch the backup go!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The thing is when I try to reboot into Clockwork it still looks the same, nothing happens when i tell Rom Manager to backup, it just restarts to what looks like the original recovery screen. It looks something like this..
Android system recovery <2e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
Vol Up - up
Vol Down - down
Power - Selec item
Reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data

Since this is my first flash I might just be overly paranoid but if this is not right I dont want to mess up my brand new phone by just plowing ahead without being sure.
Thanks for any help... yet again.
Try selecting reinstall packages. And then again a second time.
Tap volume down then push lock/power to select.
Try reinstalling packages.

TY, guess I must not have told it to reinstall enough times.
Took me 3x reinstall packages before I actually got into cwm. You will know when you get tehre.
Caliga if you need more help or have questions send me an email I'm PMing u my email address.
OK, so something has gone wrong. At first I thought it was all ok but now the more apps i try to open the more nothing seems to work. Going to try to go back to stock and see if i can start over but I cant seem to get this phone to go to the clockwork recovery menu. Every time i restart the phone and hold the keys it still boots like normal. guess its time for more research.
Had the same issue with my new Vibrant. Look for the 3e recovery fix listed in here. Solved my issues.

Apps don't work probably because you did not do a correct wipe when you flashed. Try: Wipe Data/Factory Reset - then Flash the ROM - then Wipe cache - then go to advanced and wipe Devil Cache - then Fix permissions from the same menu, go back and reboot.

Sorry for delayed response. Towns wifi went down last night and someone just now got around to resetting it.
@ferhanmm: I did get bionix on but it was acting very flaky, system ended up getting stuck in what i thought was a brick but someone in my other thread helped me get it working again and now i have a fully working trigger rom.
Everything is up and going again now I would like to get a theme for it, but really the only thing i dont like is all the green icons. About to do some research and see if I can just replace icons somehow.
Haven't done a restore via rom manager yet, but I'm thinking of restoring back to cm7 from evil's virtuous sense 3.0 rom. Great rom, but I'm having issues with the widgets and data...
Anyway - so I don't have to manually wipe anything? Just select "restore" from rom manager, and it'll do the rest? How about kernels? I'm running faux's GB sense kernel, which obviously wouldn't work with cm7...so would the rom manager 'restore' also revert to the old kernel? Thx for any tips!

Thx, so you suggest just doing it straight through recovery as opposed to the app's "restore" option...? I was just curious if doing it that way streamlined the process, not that it's hard to begin with lol.

It's one and the same. The App will run a script that will jump start the process. But i prefer doing it directly from the Recovery image.I just like making sure everything gets done.
I always just restore straight from the app. I've never had any problems with it. I recommend it because it's easy
Boot into recovery wipe data is always the wise way as neidlinger said that's the best way to make sure everything is done . I change my rom very often and that's how i do it and i never had any problems .
no service
Ack! Saved me from a new post... (hopefully)
I get no service after restoring to royalginger from sense 3.0! Phone just gets really hot and attempting to view networks results in an error!
wipe and reflash yielded the same result.
I did a factory restore to see if it had the problem, no.. I had service!
Anyone help? I did run fix permissions.. no difference
Gonna try reflashing radio real quick..
Update.. It resolved itself. It had the characteristics of being stuck in wifi calling mode. Once back on my network, it connected, and from then on i was able to connect to the mobile network without issue.

I don't see an explicit option, but is there a way I could access Apps or other data to save as a back-up?
I foolishly deleted my rom back-up, and last time I used Titanium Backup was a few weeks ago, so it's not a good option. Thanks!

I just tried that and it didn't work either. This is maddening.
The last thing I remember doing was tinkering with the lockscreen settings in the advanced settings. I set up a rotary revamped lockscreen with Dolphin Browser HD as my custom application. I have Dolphin saved to SD too, but I don't see why such a small thing would cause constant bootloops.
It ran fine before 1.2 stable and messing with the lockscreen.

That's a good idea. I usually just use Titanium backup when I'm doing a full wipe or flashing a ROM with significant updates, but since I'd been using Deck's for a while and having no issues whatsoever really and just updating incrementally, I didn't think to backup in a while.
I had actually backed-up the ROM prior to flashing 1.2 stable, but I needed to delete it to make room to back up the newer version, and I didn't think it'd be a big deal since it was stable for a few boots. I guess I got too comfortable.
This is ridiculous, I didn't make any changes to the ROM or flash any new radios or anything of the sort that should cause a bootloop.
I do also use the Theme Manager MattedBlues theme but I've been using that for over a week or so with no issues, so I doubt that's the cause.
Oh well, thanks for the ideas though.

Actually thanks for the suggestions guys, I managed to dig up an older version of the rom saved on my downloads folder and flashed it and booted.
For some odd reason, an older release labeled as experimental works better than the 1.2 stable...
It's strange too because I looked around Deck's thread and no one else reported any problems similar to what I was having at all.
For all intents and purposes it appears to be very stable and functional for everyone BUT me
Thanks for the suggestions though. I guess I'll hold off on flashing any roms for a while or wait for a newer version and try flashing with a full wipe.
Cool glad you got her going.
Kaaameeehameeehaaaaaa!
i started noticing that after i flashed a new rom, alot of my settings are set to the way i had them before. and some apps are already installed that would otherwise need a marketplace install..
keep in mind, i always do a wipe of cache/dalvik/sdcard
i think it started happening after i partitioned the sd card for those old sense roms that needed extra space.. cant remember..
but it seems like theres a portion of rom that isnt being wiped and all my settings are being carried over to the next rom flash..
how can i fully wipe my phone or get it back to normal?
this is weird, and i want it to stop. any ideas?

Are you using ROMs that have Google back up enabled?
Also, if the zip isn't set to wipe /data and you're not wiping it then you'll still have all of your data.
That has happened to me too. Are you wiping sdext and android.secure in recovery. I always wipe those and haven't had that happen since I started doing that.
We're comin from a pure power source.
naw i turn off all that google backup stuff.
thats the thing, when i try to wipe sdext it gives me an error (from the last i remember doing it)

You should be wiping data as well when flashing new roms.
I flash vrsuperwipe everytime I flash, but I use Google backup, so when I flash a new sense ROM it saves a lot of my settings, and my SD-ext apps automatically appear. Good feature imo.

You did not wipe data. If you do this you will preserve all of you apps (if they were not on card), data and system settings. This may work for you if the new ROM that you are moving to is similar enough. It can cause big problems if the structure of the ROMs is too different. You can end up with a phone that lags and has wakelocks (at best) or is not functional at all due force closes all over the place.
You should really wipe data as well before flashing a ROM and then do a selective restore of data on the new ROM.
Been using rooted stock roms for forever, but found myself lacking the need for wifi calling as of late, so I've been open to flashing something with more pizaz. I tried flashing both Dark Unicorn and Blisspop today, but neither would allow me to enabled cellular networks (it would toggle on, then back off by itself a few seconds later). I'm on T-mobile, I tried all three APN's that were pre-loaded. The notification drop-down would show it was connected to T-mobile, but it wouldn't show a data signal, and had an exclamation point over the cell signal. Anyone have suggestions on how to rectify this, or is this expected?

when in recovery yes delete all if you have stuff in your phone if they are pics just move them to pc, if those are apps use titanium paid app that will back up, app and data like whats app all conversations. if its only like pics videos moved them to pc, if apps using the free version of titanium back up ypu cant restore batches, musst must do one installation at a time..
its always better to install a fresh installation that means wipe all.
to be honest i dont do nandroid that is what is called in twrp back up,i think i did once and it didnt worked, it does work if i want to mess with rom and if it fails or i get problem doinga restore brings back the way it was just like a restore point. but am not really sure if you wipe all and do a nandroid restore it would bring back the rom, as am typing i did one am trying a ifferent rom.. ill see if it works..
ok i tried 2 roms 1 stock custom, and cm13 so i just restore my nandroid and it worked. ive selected all in back up. wipe all then copy back the twrp back up and restore it. it works ...
ok i got some folders missing like dcim.well most just copy important folders like music videos and pics to pc then once you restore it copy them back.
Had the same no data issue on blisspop I changed the apn setting to IPv6 and data came back on.

I just reflashed blisspop and changed to ipv6,and it worked. I did ipv6 on DU rom, but didn't try it on blisspop. I also upgraded to twrp 2.8.7.3. Thanks for the help everyone, loving blisspop so far
