[Q] problems with custom roms, downgrade custom to htc stock - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running elelinux_froyo_2.2_RC1 everything works ok, but sometimes I loose the reception and it never comes up. Or my headphone jack doesn't work right, so I don't hear incoming calls.
Sometime it just reboots out of the blue. I'm thinking about going back to the htc rom (even with the fugly htc sense :'( ).
The problem is, I don't know where to start. What should I do? Download the firmare installer from the htc site and just recover my phone? Is it that simple?

DON'T DOWNLOAD ROM FROM HTC SITE IT WILL UNROOT YOUR PHONE!!! Try to find moded stock ROM's or install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702398

[Q] what am i doing wrong? installing custom rom

I have currently installed RUU_Le2_UK_1.72.206.3_Radio_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship
everything works fine.
i have tried Dutty CDLC version 14 which worked fine but due to the messaging client being not compatible with smartwatchM i had to go back to stockrom
i previously HSPL so i could install custom radio (to make android work)
after going back to the stock rom i have since tried various other roms and i have the same problem each time
it installs and boots fine, after a restart it just seems to hang at first screen (does not display radio rom etc in bottom corner like normal just screen)
only way to get anything to work again is to once again install the stock rom via bootloader screen.
is the HSPL damaged? or have i missed something
thank you for you help
you are flashing 576 ram enabled roms, but your radio is still a 51 version so they won't boot.
enter bootloader, flash something like 2.08.50.x radio and your phone will boot. don't forget every time you flash back to that o2 rom it will reset the radio to a 51 version.
that makes so much sense, im just an idiot.
i shall attempt this now. thanks alot
easy to overlook.
it worked ... altho i have to go back due to me not being able to find a new rom that works with my mbw150 lol , 2 days just to revert back
anyways im very happy for the quick reply and help and not mocking me for being dumb. thanx again

Hi
Had the same problem when I installed cronos gingerbread with jumping screens and keyboard buttons not working , same thing happened when flashed other roms
It just unrooted by unstall the new official rom from the htc website.. updated it with the 2.1 ota and was good to go no more screen problems.
also try pressing down the screen a bit on the edges that helped as well
I have ADB installed so unrooting was a breeze
Have install Elelinux's gingerbread and is super smooth now

"also try pressing down the screen a bit on the edges that helped as well" if it works, that means its a hardwer fault. i downloaded an untouched rom, with radio, flashed it, and i play with radiant, and another games, ,and facebook for two hour and no problem...
otherwise... Super one click works with hero? i have offical rom, and offical radio. i only have to unroot the device, and they dont realise it at the service.
edit: another interesting thing: after the touchscreen problem the touchscreen is stoped working, i restart the phone, and after when it starts the phone was felt my fingers from 3-4 centimeters! iam stunned! now the touchscreen is working correct with the original rom/radio
Solved

[Q] Please help a (Rezound) noob. Probably super simple fix.

I bought a Rezound on ebay, pre-rooted/unlocked with the leaked ICS / Sense 3.6 ROM (besides that, pretty much bone-stock)
I decided I wanted to try out a different ROM and make sure I am familiar with the process before I try to do the S-OFF process....
Well, I found that the first thing I needed to do to upgrade to (insert ICS/Sense 4 Rom here) was to upgrade to the newest Firmware (3.11.605.22), and I am currently on 3.11.605.01 ... I followed their instructions closely to update the firmware ( re-lock , load new FW as PH98IMG.zip , flash it , unlock, etc)
Well, that didn't work for me, when I got to loading up hboot and it automatically updating the FW, it didn't do what the instructions said it would, it showed a dark blue bar near the top/right, waited for that to complete, then same thing but yellow, that completed and asked to reboot, but would only reboot to fastboot...
eventually I unlocked it again and it allowed me to return to my ROM (normal ICS/sense 3.6)
Sorry about this short story... lol ^
Basically I cannot for the life of me install any rom with success... I can't even restore the nandroid I made last night (before any of this) with success..
the CLOSEST thing to success I got was installing newts One XxX sense 4 rom, it booted, and will sit on the lock screen just fine, but when I try to unlock and go to settings to turn off animations (like instructed) it will freeze and reboot....
DO I need to install the newest FW???
OR what do I need to dooo?
Pls help! I am fairly familiar with android, as I had a D Inc before this, evervolv ICS etc etc....
Thanks alot anyone !

If you want to go back to a GB rom you need to reflash the boot image that came with it. If you want a sense 4.0 to work you need to flash the old firmware patch. For the patch I have attached it. Flash it via recovery and your rebooting on a sense 4.0 rom/ new firmware rom should be gone. (don't forget to follow the OP for Newts rom about disabling animations btw) for the boot images look to the op of the rom you are running.

Ok thanks for the reply, I did install the "old firmware patch" included with Newts XxX Sense 4 ROM, and I can successfully get the ROM to boot, it doesn't operate very well, and only for a few minutes because it will freeze and reboot. It doesn't allow me to get to the settings, no matter how fast I try to get there, it ALWAYS freezes before I can access the setting :/ ...

Hmm.. wow I'm lost. I had the same issues before I installed the patch, but after I didn't and it went fine. I'm going to have to think about this one for awhile.

Okay after flashing the ^above^ patch, the rom seems to work now, it didn't freeze so I was able to turn off animations and now it works might fine
Do you know by chance any good kernels for an ICS/Sense 4 ROM?
the stock one was draining faster than it was charging (while plugged in lol)
So I tried out the 1.836 OC kernel and it seems to be working fine, but I am interested more in battery life than performance right now, coming from the DInc, this phone is buttery smooth and doesn't REALLY need OC just yet (for me anyway)
Thanks for the help by the way!

[Q] No custom rom is working for me

Hello,
I have a huge Problem:
Last weekend i installed HSPL on my European HTC Titan and flashed Dynamics V2.0.
This Rom was extremely buggy and wasn't booting again after I turned it of once.
Then I tried the second Rom, Eburon V2.1, which had the same Problems.
After that I installed the European Stock 7.8, which worked better but also stopped working after I installed the official Facebook App.
The next one I used was EB Edition V2.6, worked for a whole day but stopped working after I installed an App from the market. Now the phone isn't booting any more.
I have always installed the right radio, which was in the download file.
My question is:
Are those custom roms so buggy or am I the only person who cannot install any Rom?
How can I fix these problems?
When there is no solution to that I have to sell my HTC Titan and buy an Android Phone again, where custom roms are really working...

The answer to your question is; no! I'm currently running Eburon 2.1 and it's running as good as Eburon 2.0 which I've posted runs as smooth as a baby's butt! I'm not familiar with the European Stock 7.8 and I'm curious as to whether it's a custom ROM and designed to run with HSPL. Microsoft's Facebook app has always been buggy; however, within the People Hub it runs there too and all you have to go is go up under your settings and accounts and put your username and password there and you're good to go. As for your phone not booting, I have no idea.
What you need to do is literally start over; if...if...you do not have HSPL; double check this up under your bootloader. Attempting to install all these different ROMs begs the question if you re-locked your phone. Start from knowing for a fact your device is HSPL and has the words "CottulaH" on the bootloader screen. If it does, proceed to flashing your ROM but make sure you have at least a 50% battery charge and the installation process isn't disrupted for any reason. It's a toss up here as to which ROM is the best but you can't go wrong with either the Dynamic 2.0 or Eburon 2.x series.

Sounds to me like you are getting bad flashes? Most WP7 custom roms are very stable and perform well 99% of the time. Been using the Dynamics rom on one of my Titans for 2 months or so with no problems whatsoever. The official FB app is buggy...I don't even both installing it.
Now, I'm not here to bash Android, but I dabbled into cooking some Android roms a few years ago. IMHO custom roms on WP are about 10x's more stable than any Android rom I've come across.
Ok, thanks for your replies, but just don't use the official Facebook app isn't a solution.
Could it be a solution to wait ca. one hour after installing a rom and let the phone configure everthing (maybe the phone needs that time)?
Because I set up all my accounts and install the apps I need directly after the rom has booted. Maybe it works if I wait before doing that.

Definitely - not. This is not a reason of your issue. I would offer to repeat the procedure of HSPL-ing. All customs work at least not worse than the stock roms.
I guess you may have the hardware issue. To be 100% sure - try to flash older stock - like 2.05 (with 16 radio). If it also does not work for you - than - pass your phone to the workshop - it's hardware.

I had that idea after flashing Deepshining V3: The readme says that you have to activate "Trust all applications" in Root Manager, I wanted to do that, but I got an error message "No root access. Be sure you have fully unlocked your rom".
This was very weird, because that's the app needed to permit other Apps root access.
Also, none of the 3 soft buttons worked.
I waited a couple of minutes and restarted the phone several times, and suddenly the soft buttons worked and Root manager had root access.

Looks like the phone is swapping or caching something for ages. Maybe it's a Storage card malfunctioning. So hopefully the fixing will be just card replacement.
Mhh, ok, so what should I tell HTC? I can't say that I wanted to install custom roms, but none of them is working, so the phone needs a card replacement xD.
I tried installing Dynamics V2.0 again, and it works until I try to install WhatsApp, then it ends up in bootloops.
But the original stock 7.5 Mango worked without any problems. If the storage card is damaged, the original rom would also not work.

So - once again - try to flash stock. If it works - the problem is installing HSPL. If it does not work properly - just send the phone to workshop. Maybe it's just bad coincidence - the card died when you had installed HSPL....

Maybe it works now.
I did the whole HSPL Flash Thing again and now I was able to install WhatsApp on Dynamics V2.0.
It's only a small Progress, but it is one.
I will try the Rom tommorrow and if it crashes again, I go back to Stock 7.5.
similar problem
my Problem is, that after installing the Dynamics Rom, the device is just showing the white bootscreen with the htc-logo on it.
I am still able to enter bootloader mode, but I don't see any advantage in it.
The device was Vodafone-branded.
I hope someone can help me.
Did you follow the instructions at this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684912 before flashing the Dynamics Rom?? If you didn't debrand and unlock with HSPL you get stuck or have the wrong radio rom installed.

I did. But I think I know what I was doing wrong. The step between finishing HSPL installation and Dynamics setup...should have I installed the phone first and done a Zune synchro? Cause I didn't -.-
Just install the radio rom that comes with the Dynamics rom. That should do it. You don't need a Zune synchro afterwards unless you want to copy pictures, music, videos back to your HTC.

Sense 4.0 force closes messaging sometimes

My phone when texting on sense 4.0 will force close when i back out of one message to check another. I am currently on bulletproof and it has happened on nightmare as well. The phone was flashed from stock s-off of course to bulletproof. I always go back to stock before flashing. This rom also causes a audio issue sometimes where it will jump in the middle of a song or stop playing and make a loud buzzing then reboot itself.
Any one having the same issues or a solution. Other roms have no issues like this and stock works perfect. Thank you Guys!
you know you don't really have to flash back to stock in order to flash a rom? and you should try fixing permissions once you flash the rom, and to make sure you flashed the rom properly
I dont flash back to stock everytime but i do if i go from CM10 to sense 4 or Miui. Just to keep from left over junk. I always wipe everything but sd card. I flashed one of the color themed messaging apks and It hasnt forced closed yet. Thank you. I will try fixing permisions after install. I tried that when it started acting up and still did it. So maybe it would work after flashing
