I am using Sacs latest rom, kt kernel, and TWRP on my girls phone. Same exact config as mine. Today her phone died at work. I just turned it on and it flashed back to what I think is the Nandroid I made. Not really sure as I turned the phone on and it went back to the stock rom (nandroid? with her old games and apps). Still rooted. Any ideas what happened? My phone has been fine.
The phone is flashed back to what I had done before. Her phone is less than a week old. I bought my phone used.
I havnt heard of a nandroid flashing by itself lol but weird

First off, Kaoscinate V5 is in a very early stage, and you should not expect everything to work. Wifi is one of those things. That is one of the things that is not yet supported, so I am not surprised that Wifi didnt work in it. I would go install Adrenalynes Fix All DI01, then the EB01 Modem, EB01 rom, etc...
I knew it would be buggy, I have never tested a newer rom before and did not realize the issues can move from rom to rom when restoring.

Yeah, it kinda sucks, but just get you a good healthy backup, then a good titanium backup. Then worst case you can odin and be right back where you were in twenty minutes. Worth it for me to be able to try out all this cool new stuff.

I will have to do that, I keep titanium up to date. I am going to play with just rom some more I will just have to have a process to recover faster if it happenes again. Thanks for the input.

So i went from Syndicate rom on EB13 and flashed over it with the new Frankenstein rom, when i got the rom working my wifi stopped working. Figureing this was just an issue with the rom its self i flashed the whole phone back to EB13 Stock. This didnt work so i re-flashed all the way back to DG27 using odin and my Wifi still isn't connecting to my network. It will see the network, then it will just hang saying Obtaining address. Some times it will get past obtaining adress and it will stop working by just saying out of range. I dont know what else to do. Anyone know what i should do?? I refuse to believe this is a hardware problem due to how fast it was messed up after tinkering with the software. Is there anything i can do to completely reset everything on the phone?
did u flash with odin? Did u wipe cache/data/delvick between each flash? I had this happen to my phone. I reinstalled original os (di18) with odin and it worked fine.

I always Wipe everything before i flash anything onto my phone so yes...
I guess i could try takinng it all the way back to di18 rather than DG27
I figured just didn't want to assume. Try flashing back to original os with odin. Outside of that idk what else to tell ya. Good luck. If I come across anything I will pass it on to ya.

I tried to flash a new rom and when i did it said operation aborted because couldnt locate boot.img. I restored to my previous backup and it wont boot past white evo screen. I went even farther back and tried my previous backup. still wouldnt boot. Also, somewhere in there the phone died.... I still restored my backup so it shouldnt affect it should it? Thanks. Im kinda freaking out.
PS im on synergy, tried to go to alliance-netflix.
Maybe the back ups are messed up.
Thats scares me
Will your phone charge?

Yea, I redownloaded the alliance netflix and placed it on my sd card from a computer adapter.. Then I flashed. It worked that time. What scared me was that was the first time I flashed formatall.Zip and it erased boot? So then I flashed the rom and it couldn't find boot. Img. But it worked out. Thanks.

I updated to EI22, stock w/OTA update. I then rooted and things were working great. Then about 1 week ago, I did a CWM backup and when I restarted the phone just kept automatically rebooting approx. every 3 -4 minutes. I could not stop it no matter what I did. Then I restored the backup and it worked fine. A few days later, I turned the power off to put in a my extra battery, and when I turned it on, the same thing happened. I had to restore twice fir it to stop this time. Then this morning, I did a reboot to see what would happen, and again it happened. Mind you it was working flawless before I restarted it. I have tried everything from removing programs, turning off the wifi, leaving the battery out for a half hour, but nothing. Sometimes after it reboots, I leave it alone for 15 minutes and then when I hit the power button, it just restarts.
Any ideas before I put back froyo??
Sounds like a bad flash. I would Odin all the way to Stock EC05 then root then flash a Gingerbread ROM. Your error is either in the kernel or recovery to happen immediately after boot. It could even be a flaky partition table.

OK. Funny, I flashed backed to a stock EC05 and did the OTA update so as to possible avoid any problems like this.

I figured that but the problem may lie in the rooting which required you to flash a kernel or in your recovery module.

Your not alone on this issue. I am also considering going back to froyo
ADW was nice enough to bring up a crash report that I emailed myself. In the stack trace I see that android Package manager has died as a cause of the exception. I am not a java programmer so am at a loss here to what's happening.

So I flashed to the ACS ICS rom and so far no problems. What a great ROM!! Many thanks to Marcusant and ACS.

don't use the OTA.
just root ec05, flash CWM 5, flash modem update ec05 to EI22, flash a rom of your choosing. it's that simple. i don't see why people go the OTA route. it just causes problems with the recovery.
EDIT: also if you want Rom manager, check the kernel(or rom) for compatibility.
Why use ROM MANAGER at all? All the same tasks can be done from Clockwork Mod directly?

It was not supported for the Epic before but with the new CWM5 it is. It is much faster to boot into recovery from ROM Manager rather than powering down and 3 fingering into it. Plus ROM Manager supports renaming your backups when you are doing them. Also ROM Manager will continuously update your CWM if new versions come out. There is also OTA updates available if the developer supports it on their ROM.
I have a rooted Sprint GS4. It's been running CM 10.1 for last few months and everything was fine. Yesterday I attempted to flash a stock rom back onto the device so I could move it onto one of my other lines, but the phone just turns off after the initial "galaxy" screen.
I've tried 2 different roms now with the same result. I do a wipe, clear the cache, and dalvik...all the standard stuff, before flashing. Been rooting my phones for a few years now, but it's the first time i've seen this and I'm definitely not an expert. Any suggestions would be great!
Odin to a stock Rom
Root
Install recovery (goo manger for twrp is easiest)
Reboot into recovery
Install rom

Same thing happened to me just redownload the stock ROM wipe system, cache, dalvick cache, and data then flash the sock rom if that fails odin back to stock.

Thanks everyone. Yeah I had to flash it back to stock using Odin. It's not rooted any more but i'll worry about that when my girlfriend stops using it, stock is fine for her.

I had to do the same, and I've read about others as well after flashing CM.
