[HELP] Major MIUI Problem. - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Earlier this evening, my phone was working fine.
Just installed a new lockscreen theme, everything was fine.
[Running 1.9.16]
Well, I noticed that it started to become very laggy. Things that were lagging started force-closing.
Themes, Messaging, Launcher7. None of these things ever lagged and I've had the ROM installed since the 16th. With no problems.
I don't know why all of a sudden it's started to mess up.
Well, now it's becoming a much worse problem.
First of all, I can't even power off, reboot or anything. I hold the power button down, nothing pops up, I release it and it just turns the screen off.
I wake the phone and I'm not even prompted with a lockscreen. It's just, where I left off.
I do a few battery-pulls and when it loads up, the same problems persist.
I can't do anything. Literally.
Well, I'm finally able to mount my SD card to my computer. All my files and such are still there.
I download 1.9.30 for the Fascinate and put it on my card, load the card up and battery-pull (since that's the only way I can get into recovery, powering it back on with volume and power buttons), wipe my cache, dalvik cache, etc.
Install zip from SDcard, choose the zip, apply and it sits there for a second and reboots, but it reboots to the 1.9.16 that I had installed already...and the problems continue.
What do I need to do? This sucks.
Also, I did manage to backup everything; Settings, contacts, mms, my apps, etc.

Ur not supposed to do recovery 3 finger on miui. reflash cwm4 fixed cm7. Three finger it then reflash miui

I need help please

I was running das bamf forever cubed. was flashing CM7. Did a Titanium back up of user apps, went into rom manager did a back up and then I swear I wiped it but I have a 1 year old and 4 year old running around the house so maybe I forgot, not 100% sure at this point. went to install from SD card and it installed. went to then install gapps zip, it installed. back, back...reboot.
now my phone is stuck on the das bamf "thunderbolt gingerbread splash.
here is what I have tried...
-battery pull
-sd card pull
-pull battery and hold down power button for 30 seconds
-holding down up and down volume with power it acts like its going into recovery mode but then immediatly changes screen and asks me if I want to update, up for yes down for no. have done both and when it reboots it goes right back to the gingerbread splash screen.
someone please help me get my phone back to working.....
let me also add that I need step by step help here. someone to hold my hand like I'm a 2 year old child.
First rename orremove the Pg5 zip from the sdcard. Then you can enter recovery. Next made sure you do wipe dalvik cache and cache.
I'm good, got some great help.

[Q] My rooted Amaze 4G will not turn on!

My Amaze 4G won't turn on...
So this is what has happened:
- I rooted my phone following the guide on this forum and installed recovery successfully
- I then flashed BeastMod 2.3.0
- Wiped out everything, then I tried to turn on my phone it would be stuck on the HTC screen when you first turn the phone on. (only thing that was able to be booted was the bootloader and recovery)
- I was like CRAP! What did I forget?! Then I was like I think I read something about kernel... I was like crap...
- I took the SD card plugged it into my MyTouch 3G Slide and downloaded BeastMod 1.3 (I think, the one without needing a kernel).
- I then proceeded to install it through Recovery. It installed.
- To my amazement, it worked I was like YESSSS.
- Then I proceeded to install the Faux Kernel v007 and then BeastMod 2.30
- IT WORKED, I got to witness the lockscreen of the beastly BeastMod 2.30!!! I was like this is amazing. Then I was like I think it said a full wipe.
- So I went back into the recovery. I wiped/formated everything it let my format/wipe. I was like clean install FTW. (I don't know if I should've)
- To my dismay, when I rebooted it. ONCE AGAIN THE HTC SCREEN ARGHHHH. So I tried factory resetting it (which I don't know whether or not it does bring me back to stock YIKES...)
- Then I was like its late at night, I should go to sleep. I took out the battery. Put it back in. Plug it into the wall charger and went to sleep. I thought I would fix this problem tomorrow.
- Now when I woke up a few hours ago... my phone is not turning on. It was clearly plugged in and everything to the wall charger. Orange LED light on when I plugged it in. I searched this up on Google to no success in solving this problem.
Currently while writing this post I have taken my battery off for 10 minutes to see if it resets the phone's battery stats, etc.
I have some experience of knowing how to root and flash. I have flashed a MyTouch 3G slide (a bunch of times), a G2, and a G2x. The G2x experienced the same not turning on problem, but it was fixed somehow after a while.
The ultimate question is... how do I fix my Amaze 4G by getting it to turn back on and successfully flashing the latest BeastMod (which I have heard has beastly battery life) with a 100% clean install?
Oh and when I have it plugged into my computer. It keeps having that beep (repeatedly in an interval of 5 - 7 seconds) when you first plug the usb in to the computer.
EDIT (QUICK UPDATE): My phone is back on. I frantically pressed the power button like no tomorrow and it finally turned on, but its still stuck on the HTC screen. Right now I'll try reflashing BeastMod 2.30. Hopefully it works. :/
EDIT: ON BOOTLOADER, it says:
"battery voltage is too low
please change a battery."
bad battery already... the heck?

Get back into recovery and wipe battery stats. Should be fine afterwards.

Remember, if you can get into Recovery...you're OK!!!! Relax! It still sounds like you're shooting in the dark a bit (i.e. could have read up a little more before you took the leap), but...
1) Bad battery issue - really doubt it. It probably drained...why you might ask?
2) Which leads into the question of which Recovery did you install? Some of them apparently have "charging" issues. That might have contributed to the "battery voltage is too low please change a battery" message.
In any case, if you can charge the battery/swap with one of your friends with a compatible one (Sensation and Evo3D I think use the same battery), try that out. Or, try your luck at charging it some. Again, if you can get to Recovery, 99.99% of the time, you aren't screwed.

I always thought you have to wipe (cache, dalvik and factory reset) prior to flashing ROM because the ROM installs into the freshly wiped partitions.

This is actually a very easy to fix issue.
You read that you needed to wipe after the phone was already on. You the proceeded and wiped/factory reset.
- After you do that, everything erases; therefore, you do not have a ROM installed in your phone anymore.
So the fix is:
1) Go into recovery
2) Wipe/factory reset (yes again, idk what you might have done)
3) Wipe cache
4) Advanced / wipe dalvik cache
5) Adcanced / wipe battery stats
5) Install .zip from SD card / choose .zip from SD card
6) Beastmod.zip (or whatever it might be called)
7) Restart the phone... it all works.
(You don't exactly have to do all those steps, but I would suggest you do to start your phone 100%% fresh for the new rom)
Enjoy!

I tried all the instructions (except for flashing a new ROM, since I can't get the ROM to flash...) and it's still stuck on the HTC main page, when it first starts...
Help?
Download stock recovery and search for relock bootloader and search for stock ROM. Go to your hot boot and download stock recovery, after relock and put your stock ROM on your SD card. And the phone is going to boot on the factory (the same as you bought the phone).

This Happened to me..
I used command prompt and brought the device to the recovery mode and flashed the rom. Now the phone runs ICS and works like a charm.
You need to download android sdk for windows/mac or whatever OS you have on our computer and install it.
1. Download and copy a ROM or TWO on your microSD and put it back in your Amaze.
2. Open the Command Prompt.
3. Type adb devices and hit "Enter"
4. It should display HTC device
5. type adb reboot bootloader
6. Use the volume button to move to "recovery" and select it by pressing the power button.
7. Then select the install zip from SD card.
8. Select one of the ROM's from your microSD and once the install is Complete, hit the return arrow at the bottom of your phone's home screen and press power button to select "reboot phone now".

[Q] Problem Installing BSR on CM9

Recently i flashed the CM9 rom onto my Droid X2. Followed the instructions and everything installed correctly. Since it has been a couple of days and I have installed all my programs and got everything where i wanted it, i wanted to make a backup.
Soon i discovered that I didnt have System Recovery installed. SO i began looking into my SD card and i have two files,MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk. So i decided to install it, everything went fine but now my phone is stuck in a boot loop. It wont even boot into CM9.
Is there another BSR that i should be flashing instead of this one. Maybe the ReRecovery one? i know theres a [patched] BSR to install but i gave me the same problems.
Thanks EHB
Hi, for Cyanogenmod9 use the CM7 PATCHED BSR. It works just fine for me everyday. I'm kind of addicted to flashing ROMs for some reason and usually am on different ones multiple times a day. Always in BSR either restoring or backing up. The patched BSR for CM7 works just fine for me. For reference, in the app drawer it should say "CM7 System Recovery" not just System Recovery.
I'm not sure if it has been looked into by dev's yet or not, but the day CM9 was released I actually did flash the CM7 ReRecovery zip and I was able to boot to BSR from a powered off state just by plugging in. I wasn't sure if it was okay to use, so I installed a fresh CM9 without it. I don't know if this is 100% safe or if there would be any issues from using the ReRecovery zip. I would recommend just installing the patched CM7 apk and trying to use that.
Here's the link to the patched CM7 Recovery. Pulled straight from the CM7 thread
http://www.mediafire.com/?pzz4413k6wggcao
***^That BSR is an application. You download, install and run it on your phone. The ReRecovery is a flashable zip you can install once already inside of BSR allowing you to get into custom recovery say for example, if you're boot looping. ***
================================================
If you're still having bootloop issues, try this;
-Grab your ECOMOTO charger, plug into A/C power, pull battery, replace & plug into wall.
- Wait for the Motorola logo to disappear and the battery charging icon to appear (this can take several minutes)
-When you see the battery charging icon, unplug your phone and pull your battery.
-Reinstall the battery and hold the VOLUME DOWN key while powering on the device. Release the VOLUME DOWN button when it turns on.
You should now see "FASTBOOT" in white text above the Motorola logo.
-Press the volume down key several times until you see ANDROID RECOVERY.
-With ANDROID RECOVERY now showing where fasboot was, press the VOLUME UP button. It will tell you that it is starting android recovery mode.
This will take you to a screen that shows a picture of an android next to a triangle with an exclamation mark (!) inside of it.
-From that screen press both the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN keys at the same time.
If you made it this far, you're now in the stock android recovery. Using the volume buttons, key down to Wipe Cache Partition then press the power button to select. You will be taken to a confirmation screen. Key down and select Yes. Wait for it to complete. After you wipe the cache try rebooting back into CM9. This will take slightly longer than usual as your cache has to rebuild itself. If you can boot back up successfully, click the link above. Download the patched CM7 Bootstrap Recovery and install it. If you don't know what to do from there, open the application "CM7 System Recovery" and click "Install Recovery" -- You will now be prompted to grant or deny it superuser permissions. Allow them. You will receive a message saying the install was a success! Click OK. Now plug your phone back into the wall outlet and hit "Recovery Mode" and your phone will boot into BSR! From there just go to backup and save it to your external SD card. You can find your backups later via the file explorer of your choice under /mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. Note: You can rename the file so you know which ROM is which, just don't add spaces to the file name or it will ruin your backup and you will not be able to restore it. NO SPACES!!!
FYI you will still see the Motorola logo immediately after it turns back on. It takes a minute or two to boot into custom recovery.
I've been through a lot of trial and error with the X2 and these steps have helped me plenty of times. Hopefully they do the same for you....Good luck.
Cyanogenmod all day
Thanks for the information.
I knew basically everything you said except for the "wipe cache partition". Why is this necessary? I know that it doesn't delete personal information but what does it wipe/delete?
Im going wait to do this tomorrow - my day off. Im just worried that its going do the same thing and ill have to reflash and start all over again.
Thanks again EHB
Wiping the cache partition clears any/all application data and common app components. It does not wipe apps themselves, rather the files that the app generates when used.
Wiping it is necessary because when core system components are changed, the resources used by the apps also (could) change. Having stale app data after a system change or tweak can cause problems, which is why it is best to clear it. It gets rebuilt as apps are used.

I'm afraid I'm in the same boat and am going through these steps to hopefully get back on the right track. When you say the battery charging icon can take several minutes... are you suggesting 3-5 minutes, or up to 30 minutes? Because... I'm at about 35 minutes right now and am getting pretty nervous.
just skip to this part, if you can
remove charger and battery
-Reinstall the battery and hold the VOLUME DOWN key while powering on the device. Release the VOLUME DOWN button when it turns on.

I am having a similar but different problem with the patched BSR. I had it running fine while using CM9 on my Droid X2, but now I am running MIUI, and when I install and attempt to get into the custom recovery, it seems like it attempts to load it, but does not. What I get is a jumbled screen that has the colors of the custom recovery, so I can tell it is attempting to come up, but something is going wrong. It shows that jumbled screen for a few seconds, then goes black and eventually just shuts down. I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of to fix this. I have tried a fresh download of the patched BSR, and even did a fresh SBF and reinstall of MIUI, but nothing fixes it. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I would re flash sbf
if you have been using ezSBF
use rsd lite, vise versa, or try a different sbf version like 2.3.3 and take ota update
or see if someone could upload a nandroid backup

The odd thing is, if I restore to CM7 or CM9, then the patched BSR will work again. It seems it only goes bad with MIUI. Could the ROM somehow affect the BSR installation and/or function? I wouldn't think this is the case, as other are using the patched BSR with MIUI without trouble.

Need Help ASAP - Blank Screen

I'm using [ROM]MIUI/CM7 Hybrid v3 multi-lang update 04/07/2012 and haven't had any issues whatsoever. Tonight I updated a bunch of Play Store apps that I've been putting off for a while and the only one that I could think of that could possibly have caused a problem is MiHome. Everything else was a pretty standard app/game.
Well my phone rebooted and now after it boots and shows the lock screen it goes blank a few seconds later. I tried unlocking it before it went blank and and I did see the home screen but it went blank again before the icons showed up. I can tell it's still on because there is a very slight glow from the screen if you look at it from an angle.
PLEASE HELP ME. I have no idea how to fix this and wouldn't even know where to begin!!
You've flashed a ROM before, you should know this already... Reboot into recovery, do a wipe data/cache (factory reset), reboot. If that doesn't work then wipe all and re-flash the ROM+gapps.
If you've been messing with system files, it's probably best to go straight to wipe all and re-flashing.
Re-install apps, re-configure the dozen or so apps you actually use on a normal day-to-day basis, and set a lovely wallpaper when you're done. 1 hour tops.
At the very least you'll be available for phone calls and text messages again within the next 10min.
Next time make sure to do a backup so you can restore a working copy of your data and cache whenever you need.
Unless you already know what the issue is, or how to fix it, sorry to say it, but the above steps are likely the quickest way to a resolution.
You're right I am very familiar with those steps but I can't reboot into recovery or any other method. My screen is blank and everything is unresponsive. The only way I can reboot is to pull the battery. I do remember there is a way to boot into recovery from a power off status but I can't remember how to do that.
BTW...thank you for your quick reply!

Hold down the volume-down key while booting up, when you see the Fastboot option appear, press the volume-down key repeatedly to cycle through the selections until you get to Android Recovery, then volume-up to select.
Try this:
- remove the battery
- press Volume Down and hold
- insert the battery (tricky part when holding Volume Down)
- wait till system menu appears
- release Volume Down
- press Volume Down again few times till "Recovery" shown.
- press Power
Thank you guys (or girls)! That's what I couldn't remember. Wiping now and will reinstall ROM.

[Q] Revolt ROM Display Stays On

I've been running the latest Revolt ROM for a few days on my I717. It has been running flawlessly but last night my display started staying on and the notification lights lit and won't turn off. Pushing the power button doesn't turn the screen off like it used to, but the power button does work to turn off or reboot the phone. I've checked all the settings that I know of and everything seems fine. Any ideas? Needless to say, my phone has to stay plugged in to a power source to stay on.
Rebooting doesn't clear the problem. Screen doesn't lock either.
Wipe caches in recovery
If problem persists, wipe data/factory reset.
Still there, redownload, rewipe and then flash the Rom again.

Wiping cache didn't fix the problem. If I have to re-flash the ROM, it won't be until tonight. Thanks for the help.
Also make sure you don't have stay awake in the quick setting tiles on I accidentally leave mine on sometimes.
mine just started doing that also, did factory reset... I go to battery it reads its charging, when its not..
