Just flashed the GB radio, wiped the heck out of the data in CWM and then I installed the Das BAMF 2.0-5 ROM. After about ten minutes it takes me to the HTC Setup Wizard. I go through it, login with my Gmail account and at the very end the Setup Wizard FC's.
All I get after that is a black screen, I can pull down the Notification bar, I see the 4G indicator and battery and signal strength but I can't do anything. I wait about ten minutes and nothing. If I hit the lock screen button it gives me the Sense 3.0 lockscreen but it takes me back to that black screen after unlocking it. I try pulling the battery and then it gets stuck on this Thunderbolt logo and I can't get past it.
Any ideas?
Re-download the rom file, may have been corrupted, and re-wipe everything (data/cache/davlik) and flash the rom again.
Well now I got into the ROM but have no connectivity...ugh...I have the correct GB radio and I made sure I wiped everything before hand, any ideas why this would happen?

That's exactly what I did, it just randomly rebooted and now I have connectivity again, lol. I think I should be fine now, thanks!

I came from Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3; performed factory wipe/data reset, wipe dalvik and wiped cache. I flashed the GB Radio via Hboot (update=yes; then updates by doing 2 things, then hit power to restart). I then flashed the ROM.
The first two (2) times I flashed 2.0-4.0 and could NOT get Wi-Fi to work, but I had 3G working no probs as well as GPS. Went out for a couple hours and had no issues. Got Back, and I still could not get Wi-Fi to connect. I reflashed radio..no dice...re-downloaded the ROM, did a complete wipe and reflashed both the ROM and radio. Still would not connect, even after I downloaded Test7 kernel (kernel shouldn't mess with my mobile connection?).
I then went and downloaded 2.0-4.01, and now I can connect to Wi-Fi. Now the problem is that I am stuck on 1x Mobile Data and cannot get 3G. I've re-wiped, reflashed and downloaded Imeseyons new kernel..still stuck on 1x. I have even tried toggling Airplane mode, but cannot get it to 3G connection.
Any ideas?
Dunno if it will make any difference but flash the rom 1st then either battery pull or adb into hboot to flash the radio. Maybe others can confirm if this might help or not.
Not sure if this is the root of your problem, but the directions given by the developers of these gingerbread roms indicate that you should put the rom and radios on the root of sd card, flash the rom first in recovery, don't reboot, get into hboot via adb, then let the radios flash, and reboot. It sounds like you flashed the radios first, and then the rom. Maybe this is causing your problems?

Don't think so, cause I have tried both ways. Also, in Ad's posts he recommended both ways.
Either way, if I botched it the first time, it doesn't make sense that with the same radio I was getting 3g but no Wi-Fi, but now I'm getting Wi-Fi and no 3g.
I reflashed back to Remix 1.6.3 and have 3g+Wi-Fi right away.
And 3g returns..On 1.6.3.

When I wiped and reverted back to 1.6.3 I lost a Superuser file. I decided to re-root and start from scratch.
Re-rooted, then flashed 2.0-4.1 and let it startup. Then shutdown and went into Hboot and flashed GB ROM. Went through a normal startup and I had 1x which after a couple of minutes turned into 3G, but very laggy. I then flashed Imo's 2.5.4 kernel and re-started. 3G came up and speeds were just fine.
A lot of work to get BAMF to work, but I'm happy. Now working on adding Launcher Pro, Fancy Widget and a few other personalizations.
I've read a bunch of forms and I still don't know what is exactly wrong. I believe I did everything right by doing a complete wipe and dalvik; all of that. I then attempted to flash the Das Bamf 2.0.5 file and everything went smooth, then I did adb to get into the hboot and I flashed the new radio for the BAMF file which also looked fine when complete. Once I booted my phone the thunderbolt symbol came up and the BAMF title came up at the bottom then booted into the phone but this is where there's a problem. The HTC background stock skin appears and the notification bar (time, service bars) and that's it! I re-flashed several times but still the same result. Does anyone know why this is happening?
And why is it so important to delete the PG05IMG.zip file after you flash? I've read that people sometimes have to do it but I never have, could that be the problem?
You delete the radio file so if you have to boot into recovery they hboot it doesn't try to update the radio each time, as far a it not working, you flash the room they recovery, not room manager or hboot.

Your radio file might be bad, try downloading it again.

Check MD5sums. Reflash in recovery. No wipe.
^_^_^
I redownloaded the radio a few times and I went to youtube and got links from different videos which all pointed me to the same xda form that I found in the beginning.
how do I check the MD5sums?
I read a lot of threads and they say to always do a wipe when flashing the GB roms...
Brace for EPIC Tale!
So I upgraded, like everyone else, to the MR2, and BAMF GingerRemix 2.1.
Flashed the new Radio (MR2)
Full wipe cache clears all that jazz.
Installed 2.1 worked great, however about a week into it I started getting data drops, and unable to connect to Wifi.
So I tried MR2.5 leak, this seemed ot help for a while but eventually no wifi again.
I didnt think much of this at the time, I wanted to upgrade to a sense 3.0 rom anyway. BAMF was in RC2 and had reported a bunch of bugs so I decided to try GingerTheory 4.2 with the MR2.
Flashed radio, full wipe, cache clear delv everything then flashed ROM.
From the beginning wifi would not connect and data was spotty.
Upgraded to GT4.3 same issues.
Yeserday morning I tried BAMF 3.0 RC3
Full wipe and the whole nine yards. And was already on MR2.0
Again would not connect to wifi, sat on obtaining IP then dropped to disconnecting, tried the wifi security button connect at home and still nothing.
In IRC I was told it was the kernal, so I got Dream 2.3 flashed it and rebooted.
After boot animations I got "process system is not responding" with [force close] and [wait] buttons but touch would not work.
So Drew66 ran me through the steps again checking everything from MD5s on all items to ADB device checks and everything checked out.
We re flashed the kernal and cleared delv.
Into HBOOT and reflashed the MR2
Rebooted and waited a few mins.
All worked fine.
However, again no WiFi. Then playing with settings I lost Data all together.
This morning I rebooted in hopes of getting Data back
Instead I was greeted with, "process system is not responding" again.
I'm thinking of just a full restore but if anyone has any ideas they are most welcome.
Thank you.
I was running Eternity version 116 for a long time, and decided i should upgrade to a more recent rev. I tried flashing v236 (and 238 and various versions in between) and all appears to go well, I get a message for successfully installing, but on first reboot, I get stuck on the splash screen. While I haven't tried many ROMs, I always wipe first. I am currently running Bamf Forever. But for whatever reason, I just can't get Eternity to load. Any suggestions? Thanks!
If you wiped data first and didn't get a bad download (if you've tried multiple versions, that would be very unlikely) then there really wouldn't be a logical reason for it not to work. All I can tell you is that it takes a long time (5 minutes maybe) to boot up the first time you flash a new ROM, I think it's because it zipaligns your apps. Hope you figure it out, if you find out what the problem was, let me know.
I've let it boot up for hours, but it never gets past the splash screen.
are you wiping data/cache/dalvik

Yes, wiping everything. I don't seem to have a problem installing other ROMs, just Eternity.
disregard. i got 216 to work. i don't know wtf was going on. but i'm happy now.
Glad you got it working. There have been some significant changes since 216 that makes it worth your time to upgrade to R238.
I figured out what the problem was. turns out all i needed to do was update CWM. now all versions flash fine. I was using a 3.0 version of CWM.
Ok, I know some other people posted about black screen but all the other threads seem to be about it happening after a call.
Mine happens when the phone been sitting for a while with the screen off (and it's not all the times) it seems more prone to it if the screen been off for longer times.
I tried two different roms with two different kernels both have the cpu idle speed setup at 384 or more. As soon as I flash they seem to work ok but after a day or so the freaking black screen comes back. I also have pimp my rom installed with the "no black-screen after a call" tweak ticked.
I've went through the process of unrooting going all the way back to stock and start from the beginning all the way from unlocking the bootloader to S-off.
Downloaded fresh copies of the roms zip files
I don't think it's any of the apps since this does not start right away it takes a day or so after everthing been runing (but I might be wrong).
Obviously it's not the rom or the kernel since it does it with two different ones, what else is there that can be messing with my phone???
It's driving me crazy!!!!
Can it be hardware related????
I'm lost with this, and started thinking on a new phone already but I can't buy it until mid 2013 so I don't want to give up yet (actually can't).
This been working just fine up until a month ago or so, it's just now that the black screen started harrasing me.
Edit: It just happened again and since I could not get the screen up, I decided to pull the batt and when I turned the phone on again I got the vibration but the screen didn't light up during booting at all until I pressed the button few times.
Could my screen be dying?

have you ever considered its the tweaks your doing to your phone.. have you tried just flashing the rom and running it without doing the tweaks... not every phones hardware is identical so not all tweaks might work... ive flashed a rom recently that experienced some boot loops after doing some tweaks to the rom, and now im running that rom flawlessly without any tweaks...
---------- Post added at 12:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------
you might also want to try the rom with the default kernel that comes with the phone not faux which i'm assuming your using
To be honest, no I haven't thought of that.
I just re flashed everthing, if the problem starts again I'll remove all the tweaks.
But the thing is the phone was working well and one day without changing anything it started with this. But I'll try removing the tweaks if this persist
Thanks,
Nope, it wasn't the tweaks.
Fresh flash, no tweaks and I still have to press the on button many times to get the screen to turn on
which rom are you using again?
I'm on NRG blue but I tried the Bulletproof for a while and it did it too that's why I'm thinking that is not rom related. It has to be something deeper than the rom.
Phone was working great until last month that I travelled abroad.
As soon as I got to the country I was visiting I put a local sim card and it took me a while to be able to boot, to the point that I had to restore from a backup.
Then during the time I was there I had several random reboots (like once or twice a day).
When I came back I swapped the sim again and no more reboots but after a week or so I started with this black screen problem, it was really bad to the point when sometimes I needed to pull the battery off to see if that helped and the rom got really screwed (I think sense got screwed because the screens were doing weird things). So I reflashed, it fixed all the weird things but not the black screen.
Now it's not as bad (I only need to press 3 or 4 times the button) and it's not alway, only if the screen been off for a while but my previous experiencest tells me that it will get worse in few days time...
okay i have a few suggestions.. do you do a full wipe when you flash a rom? wipe data/factory then format system then wipe cache partition's then wipe delvik cache.. and you should try going back to stock completely then trying a different rom and see.. its about testing all possibilities before coming to the conclusion your phone is damaged somehow
yes I always do a full wipe and/or the 4ext wipe and clear dalvik and cache. Not sure about the factory reset since I wasn't sure where that would take me.
you should try going back to stock completely

Do you mean relock, S-ON and goall the way to GB? or to ICS T-mous stock??? I did go to ICS (this one) http://d-h.st/3VD but I can do it again (I can alway use some practice with these procedures...)
I
you dont have to S-ON again i mean Stock ICS from your carrier.. and stock Ruu's are located in my signature if that link is one you got from there go right ahead... and try and flash back to stock, if you need instructions let me know

I did that yesterday and yes the ruu Iused is the same as the one listed there as most recent.
I just found an interesting discusion on the faux kernel thread about a problem, with the earlier version (which is the one I was running when the whole thing started) and that happened to me before this black screen.
This is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359951&page=232 and it's mentioned in the quote on post #2316 and ahead.
I PM'd AJ to see if he thinks this could be related since in one of his posts he said something like reverting to stock won't help (for some reason)
but overall from what i just read... the issue seems to be related to the faux kernel.. i only flashed it once but ii didnt do any tweaks,, i mostly use the stock kernel that comes with most of the rom's i flashed... here's what to try... in 4ext wipe all partitions except sd card, then wipe both sd card partitions internal and external.. toggle usb storage and flash this super wipe script in recovery.. then flash a different rom and don't flash faux.. test the rom out to see if your problem occurs again.. or flash the super wipe then place the ruu on the SD card then attempt to flash back to stock

I'll try it.
Thanks,
Tried that and didn't help, but thanks for the suggestion.
What I noticed today is that since Icouldn't get the screen on no matter how many times I pressed the darn button I pulle dhte batt out and then rebooted the phone to see if that helped and even though I got the little vibration confirmation when the phone boots up there was no white HTC splash screen or bootanimation whasoever, anyway since I could still not get the screen on I tried the same thing a few time and then once I finally managed to the the screen on I said int the bottom left corner SAFE MODE (never seen that one before). I'm running Bulletproof reloaded now.
Oh and the batt was kind of low (may be 20%).
Wow!!!! I do own a very messed up phone!!!
Today this piece of crap threw a total temper tantrum.
Would nos turn the screen on no matter what. I removed the batt and not even rebooting to the point that when I finally got it to boot it had an internal SD error. It didn't allow me to format, wipe or partition it from bootloader or recovery.
Now I'm at home so I flashed stock RUU (again) and it seems like its running one more time but I was really close to throw it over the cliff where I was Flying my RC gliders.
We'll see if I can make it last a bit longer...
so its working once again, cuz you said you flashed back the stock ruu right?
Yes,it's alive (will for how long this time). I flashed stock a couple of times , I unlocked once again, flashed 4ext, flashed JP hboot, superSU, NRG rom, supersu again (since IO wasn't sure in which order I should have done this) flash rom 2nd time, flashed Faux's v 24 (twice) and Downloaded most of the apps clean from Gplay.
I'm getting a lot of practice with this, who knows, may be one day I become good at it
its good your practicing now, but don't forget to do backups before you flash anything to your phone, this this way you'll have a stable install to restore back to incase anything goes wrong again
I been doing more tests and yesterday I run it on stock most of the day with no apparent issues, then I restored the NRG rom from a backup and still no issues so I started to think it was something I messed up flashing the JB Hboot, I moved to a bulletproof rom and decided to do another test.
I sat on the phone as to block signal and the issue came back.
Now I'll try the same with NRG, yep it seems like it's when the phone loses signal the screenwon't come back afterwards.
I'll try the same in stock rom next...
Yes, it did it in stock too but not so bad, it seems like after few attempts the screen worked againgvs. on bulletproof didn't
Ok, I found this in some other thread...
[QUOTE8. Black Screen - Phone will not wake-up
I'm accidentally find out and solved the problem of Black Screen during in-coming call (BulletProof 2.2.0). By replacing the service.jar from the previous version (BulletProof 2.1.0) with the intention to get rid of the CRT file in my system, by doing this I am also discovered that the black screen problem is gone. However, this problem can be easier solved by simply dis-able the screen-on/off animation setting instead of replacing the service.jar with the one from previous build which doesn't have CRT.
It's worth to be note that during my old days with the HTC HD2 running Nandroid I've encountering similar problem of black screen when waking up the phone and it was caused by the CRT as well. This, at least happened to me with more than 3 Rom, including the famous AmeriCanAndroid, HyperDroid and Tytung's ...
So if you are experiences Black Screen problem, please check to see if you did flashed the CRT and/or enable it? ][/QUOTE]
Can somebody tell me to how do I check this?
Thanks,
