Im on CM7 and unable to get my phone to be recognized in the QPST window, i have all drivers installed on my comp from rooting/unlocking and i have my phone booted into BP Tools with USB Debugging off and with charge only selected. I have tried two different computers and have tried it with USB Debugging on as well as off and usb mounted as well as charge only. Im completely out of ideas here. Any help anyone? QPST just doesn't see the phone connected to any of the ports. My photon says "Cold booting linux - reading odm fuse". I already have the PRL file i want to load up.. just cant get QPST to read my phone. Btw, im trying to flash the prl 01115 so that i can have 3g verizon roaming, and yes i know im capped at 300mb or i will most likely get canceled.
OK, I must be confused and I thought I just answered this question. PRL= Perferred Roming List? I update mine in Settings>Software.
QPST?
You mentioned "Cold Booting Linux", what does this have to do with PRL?
I'm sorry to sound so lost, but I am.
did you check out this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211157&highlight=QPST
I was meaning to flash over a business PRL, that sprint normally wouldn't just give me, so doing an OTA PRL update wont give the me the PRL i want. And yeah i saw that thread but for some reason ive been unable to get qpst to see my phone. QPST is a software that you can use to flash PRLs over and a few other things as well i believe. I wasn't having any failed driver installs or anything either so not sure as to why phone wasn't being seen by qpst, on two different computers and usb cables/ports. This was before my soft brick, i aim to give this another shot after i get back up and running. Maybe qpst doesnt like custom roms or the CM7 i was running. Not sure tbh.
did you toggle the check box to see more ports?
Interesting. Thanks for the lesson.
The only time I had issues with PRL was Parmas, NJ in my bedroom. No Signal PERIOD, that did not fix the issue (the fix was to move!), but I update PRL 2 time a year or so.
Yeah i toggled it to show all ports and none of them actually showed a phone connected even though it was..
I'm having the same issue. I'm guessing it has something to do with CM7. I've searched around a bit and haven't found anything helpful.
Edit: After wiping and flashing a stock rom, I still have the problem. Maybe it's the unlocked bootloader?
think is boils down to tools that are in stock but not in cm7. I think u have to sbf back to stock before you will have bp tools and I think it also has to do with the boot loader being unlocked as well.

I tried all these steps mentioned...still getting the cold booting linux message and fuse error then reboot. any ideas? I sbf'd from 154 on up...Im lost I had no problem with the evo.
No nonblur roms allow you to update the Prl through about phone. There is a way to do it manually but I can't remember what files it involves. Easiest and most efficient way to do it is to make a nandroid of cm7, flash MOFs rom, update the prl in about phone, restore your cm7 nandroid.
Yeah, I ended up restoring to my stock nandroid and got it to work to flash the business prl then restored back to cm. Been on this prl ever since

I have a rooted Atrix. Installed Rom Manager and tried to install CWM backup. I got the RSD 2 error message at the prompt then rebooted the phone. Thats is as far as I went.
I uninstalled Rom Manager.
My phone will no longer connect to my computer. I get messages saying:
Computer says I need to format my SD cards in order to use them.
I also get a message saying advcntrl4.dll is not on my comuter.
Root tools no longer boots up on my computer.
The phone randomly connects and disconnects from my computer.
OK I hooked up my Atrix to my laptop and it saw it, so the problem is with my computer which I can fix eventually.
I still would like to have a full backup image of my phone and I see little support of Rom Manager issues anywhere.
Any suggestions appreciated.
thanks
Are you unlocked? If not its quite dumb to install a custom recovery.

+1... happened to be the first time i messed with my phone. root and unlock then flash recovery... works fine afterwards. just be more patient and learn your phone and how to mod it....
FYI... its not RomManager that messed up your phone... it was your lack of knowledge on how to do the mods to your phone.

Do you have any idea how long ROM Manager has been around? YOU screwed up your Atrix.

Thanks Meter...your comments are SO helpful people like you make xda such a nice place to come to. Do me a favor and stay away from me.

Thanks for the comment. I lost driver files on my main computer with disk errors and have replaced the drivers and got it to connect to the phone. So another problem solved tho the motorola media program is not working yet but I will get it going. The bigger questions are:
I am anticipating ICS update so I would not want to do anything to interfere with the next OTA update. If so, I can wait for the update before doing anything with ROM manager. Funny thing after I deinstalled ROM Manager from my phone, it was still in my startup....weird, but I removed it. Questiion is did I change anything by trying to run the backup. ROM manager reported that OTA updates were turned OFF. If I unlocked the bootloader would that negate the ICS update?
thanks
panflute
i am trying really hard to decipher all that, but there is so much confusion in your post. i can understand you really have no idea what it is you are doing right now.
A. you wont see an ICS update from Motorola or AT&T for something like 3-6 months, probably closer to 3 i hope
B. if you want the stock ICS from ATT/MOTO, why are you even messing with ROM manager? You do know what ROM manager is for right?
C. you didnt change anything by trying to run a backup, in fact, it didnt do anything because you dont have an unlocked bootloader...it basically ran a script that failed.
D. ROM manager reporting OTA updates were turned off had nothing to do with a STOCK ATT/MOTO OTA....it was talking about OTA updates for your current rom...which is stock, which rom manager doesnt have any information about in its database....because rom manager is utilized for flashing roms.
E. unlocking the bootloader and leaving your rom stock will not keep you from updating from MOTO/ATT later on....
i think you have some reading that you should do before you break your phone.
ok
OK Thanks Meter. That answers most of my concerns. You are right I don't know what I am doing. I remember years ago when things were easier to figure out.
It sounds like I did not damage anything which is great. I was just attempting to do a backup because I am a backup nut. I have a ton of hours into setting up my phone. So maybe I'll do some looking around and see how easy it is to unlock the bootloader so I can make a backup. ROM Manager did NOT tell me I needed to unlock the bootloader. If you look at my homescreen you can see why I should have a backup. I have titanium BU but would prefer a full ROM backup.
3-6 months for ICS is fine with me because I like my phone as it is tho I am always looking for ways to improve on it. So far I have not run into any walls...it just keeps getting better.
thanks Meter.
I know how you feel.. I messed up my back flip that way. I had the same problem. Unless you're fully rooted you can't install a custom recovery. Most likely you have a hard brick.
Form is temporary but Class is permanent. I love Liverpool FC.

Did you try reinstalling the Motorola drivers for your pc and then trying to flash the pudding sbf (only if u r unlocked ).
I did not get from ur post. Can you still access fastboot? Then you can flash romracers recovery.

So I think I may have screwed myself. I was following this guide for changing the battery icon to 1% increments instead of 10%, went to reboot and now my photon is stuck on the Motorola Dual Core technology screen. I can't get adb to recognize it and its been stuck like this for a good 20 minutes. Any thoughts? Am I screwed?
i had this exact problem 3 nights ago
Download rsdlite 5.3.9 , 5.0 would not support the phone.
download either 198-6 or 198-7 sbf found in the devolpment sections
you can flash it with the rsdlite program by booting to rsd, Vol up + power
make sure you have full battery and it will reboot a couple times on its own at the end i had to do a manual reboot but it told me i needed to. your phone will reactivate on reboot
I've been trying to boot to RSD but it seems stuck on that as well.
EDIT: sorry I guess I didn't realize I need RSDlite to make this work. I found a youtube video with links on how to flash this sbf so hopefully this will work. Downloading the 400+mb sbf file now (slow internet so its gonna be ~40 minutes), but after that I'll try flashing.
Are you unable to boot into rsd mode even after pulling the battery? If so then I'm not sure that you will be able to use the sbf file to go back to stock. It's worth a try either way though I suppose if worst comes to worse you can take it back to sprint.

I didn't realize I needed RSDLite to push the SBF (I really had no idea what rsd mode was). I managed to find a video from qbking on how to unbrick the Photon and follow that. It worked and I am back to where I was.
Thanks guys and a special thanks to Shabbypenguin who helped talk me through the ordeal a bit on IRC.
So I got my Photon up and running again but...I can't make calls with it. I tried to Update profile/Update PRL just to see what would happen but...they both result in force closes on settings and bringing me back to About Phone. I'm going to try and have Sprint reactivate it but...anyone have any thoughts?
You may want to do a factory data reset before trying to flash the sbf again via rsdlite.

So I managed to reactivate my phone with Sprint. However now I have no data (unless roaming). I read that I may have to update PRL in About phone to get my data back but...whenever I try to update PRL or profile it force closes.
Anything I can do to fix this? I restored everything I had frozen via titanium backup but perhaps something is missing here that is force closing those two?
Durp. Factory reset solved this issue. Data/phone capabilities restored and customization process, take 2, begins now.
Thanks to those that helped again and hopefully this thread will help someone should they soft brick their photon.

I am having similar issues as described in this thread with flashing my Photon (back to stock). I forgot to factory reset before I began the flash process and now I can't get access to the O/S so my question is how do you do a factory reset without going into the Android O/S? Can you do this from fastboot/nvflash/RSD?
Howdy. I updated my phone recently to Virus's release of that latest OTA of ICS. I also ran his modified firmware updates, which updated my hboot to 1.58 . Everything ran fine. Wiped the phone and did a restore of my old CM9 backup. Bootlooped. Wiped and installed Virus's OTA again now it has no signal. wiped factory/system/cache/dalvik again, installed ICS OTA and again no signal. Cant even do initial setup, all it wants is wifi. Bars have the X on it.
Bummer. Cant figure it out. Any help is appreciated. I did get that VM firmware awhile back, never had any major problems from it.
Another goofy thing thats happening is sometimes when i try to boot into recovery that PG86M file (or whatever its called) trys to load.
I keep deleting this file and it comes back. Really annoying.
Any help is appreciated, phone is on the ground crying.,.

UPDATE
Through Fastboot feature I loaded the 2.08 RUU. STILL NO SIGNAL WTF?
Yesterday i ran 2.17 RUU to take the OTA and i had to Flash my phone again to another carrier on Mexico. MDN, MSID, PRL, and all that info was erased to 0's and i had to use CDMA Workshop to get SPC again(yes, it changed too) and after that to program my phone with QPST again to get signal.

I'm right here with you on this issue. I've tried just about everything to get signal back but its a no go. Happened as soon as I flashed the firmware with hboot included that virus posted. Everything went fine except when it booted back up I had no signal (disconnected because service is unavailable). No roms that i flash will change this. I even ran an old ruu and updated all the way to ics from stock and no dice. Reflashed hboot 1.4 with revolutionary so i could restore my venomrom nandroid, but still the same. Frustrated. Do I need to use qpst or cdma workshop to try to do something? I'm not real familiar with either of those, but feel like I'm out of options now...

Wow, interesting that your getting it too. Did you ever flash that VM Firmware? This is worse than a brick LOL. im jumping on peoples wifi when i can to even try to use my phone. PM if you find a solution else where. Im about to put a bounty on a fix, if this doesnt get resolved.
I dont even know what CDMA workshop or QPST is, but im willing try anything.
Yes, unfortunately i flashed that firmware but thought id correctly done some method of getting it back to normal. I dont have the banner and im on the 1.53_vin pri. Just seems that mynetwork is all cleared out. Ive tried to reset my espt using ##786# but it fails due to the radio not responding.
Im still looking and will keep u updated.

Same here, msl is reset to 000000. It seems that doing a ##786# reset would fix it and return everything the way it was, but it always errors out. No phone all wknd has been frustrating. Guess I need to return to stock and s-on so I can take it in. Of course, when the te h looks and sees my 1.53vin pro I'm pretty sure he'll know I messed things up myself. Gonna play dumb and say this is just was happened after the its to ics. Ugh.

Y'all should try flashing the 2.17 RUU make sure have a shipped Hboot and turn s-on through adb in that order or you will brick it. This is a last resort because you will lose root until you do junoputbear wire trick or Hboot downgrade but if you don't have a phone to use you have nothing to lose...
Edit: try unknownforce VMware removal tool in sticky..if you flashed the VM Virus...

Thanks for the advice. I actually have flashed every RUU known to man I think lol. I went way back and flashed and did all the updates until I was on ICS again, and still no luck. Problem with the VM removal tool is that you need to have your MSL and this issue resets the device MSL to 000000.

What he means is, you need to be unlocked to install a custom rom with custom kernel and you can no longer unlock. You have two rom options while still locked, but both are based off the blur you already have. You can still root, though.
from what I understand you can use boostrap recovery to install ROMs. i've yet to try it myself but others have used it

thanks for the info guys, well i did get the phone rooted and super user restored, see the thing is the phone was flashed and programmed for page plus, its still running on page plus service but i had 2 problems one being the nag screen to activate the phone for sprint and its constantly in roaming, i called page plus and they say yeah that will happen and no i wont be charged for it, i would be all happy if i could get the roaming off, i did however get rid of the sprint activation by deleting a apk called SprintOMADM,apk. now im not totally sure i need that apk or not but its gone now and i have no nag screen to activate it, it still makes calls just fine but im not sure im totally getting all my incoming phone calls or any notifications for voice mail, any sugestions on how i might be able to get rid of some of this stuff, like i said it was flashed rooted and unlocked before, i did use when i first had it that remote squad software but now it says it cant even read the phone, i was also told by them its probably that awsome new update 2.35. thanks alot again for your responses and ill keep popping in and out of here to see more responses
well disreguard the last post, I had some app downloaded on my phone used to flash roms... well basically what happened i restarted my phone and the app booted before the phone started and it said flash rom from zip file so i selected one that i downloaded here, and thinking it wouldnt work i selected it and hit ok, well it worked alright now the phone says Failed to boot 2, and just shows starting in RSD mode, now im screwed, I shouldnt have done that, I figured it was locked and wouldnt work now the phone is broke how can i get it back just to stock the way it was or am i totally screwed

well when i got that awsome update 2.35 from my son clicking yes to it, i tried just about any roms to get the phone back, first it was the electrify rom which i later find out dumb mistake on my part, anyway now and i mean right now i flashed the phone with rsd lite using the electrify rom 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.5-4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0-19-release-keys-signed-USC-US..... from there i rooted the phone using the torpedo method, then i installed busybox and i forget which method i used but anyway it was all done in fastboot, once i got all that installed i downloaded a apk file system recovery which is MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk. plugged in the charger and booted up the system recovery or the bootstrap which ever you call it, and went into advanced and did a dalvik wipe i even hit fix permissions, i then hit go back and did a data- factory clear wipe, then went into install zip from sd card and i first used MOF.2.3.5.ish,v1.4.zip and that installed fine the problems i had was sometimes when i would do that i would get failed to boot 2 screen but i just used the unbrick zip that i downloaded here if anyone wants the name or link let me know, anyway.. once booted up with the MOF ish zip it would load fine but wouldnt save any settings or find any APNs or connect to any wireless networks in my house, but the wireless problem was clear it said error on it, so i knew the problem on that was it wasnt working derr. So this story is getting long now. anyway i then rebooted and turned on the bootstrap slash system recovery utility, and i installed first 2.3.x_libmoto_ril.so_198_7.zip and it aborted the install and failed. i then tried the next one in line which was 2.3.x_libmoto_ril.so_254_12.zip and that one installed fine so i rebooted and i got the failed to boot 2 screen and i did the unbrick sbf file on rsd lite and it booted fine, though still no saving of the settings and no wifi no cell service and no text or anything, I kept RSD lite open and i tried one more thing, 2.3.5sv2_198_7_radio.sbf and flashed it, the wifi for the house started working and i started getting bars on my cell service yay, well atleast i thought yay this is after weeks of not having a cell. well i thought all is well im done and fixed. NOPE im not fixed when i try and dial a number or even activate my phone i get nothing, no dial buzzing sounds like you get normally, no any kinds of sounds the call eventually times out and says called failed retry or cancel the call, i hit retry and i get the same thing. i even tried flashing the radio to 2.3.5sv2_254_12_radio. when i used that one it would save settings but i wouldnt get any cell signal or anything. so im back to square one.

I just write this.
Calm down, read the 2.3.5 sv2 custom sbf thread one more time and start from the beginning with unbrick steps. Everytime you do that process, you will understand it more and more and your phone will start to work again. Believe me.

well when i got that awsome update 2.35 from my son clicking yes to it, i tried just about any roms to get the phone back, first it was the electrify rom which i later find out dumb mistake on my part, anyway now and i mean right now i flashed the phone with rsd lite using the electrify rom 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.5-4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0-19-release-keys-signed-USC-US..... from there i rooted the phone using the torpedo method, then i installed busybox and i forget which method i used but anyway it was all done in fastboot, once i got all that installed i downloaded a apk file system recovery which is MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk. plugged in the charger and booted up the system recovery or the bootstrap which ever you call it, and went into advanced and did a dalvik wipe i even hit fix permissions, i then hit go back and did a data- factory clear wipe, then went into install zip from sd card and i first used MOF.2.3.5.ish,v1.4.zip and that installed fine the problems i had was sometimes when i would do that i would get failed to boot 2 screen but i just used the unbrick zip that i downloaded here if anyone wants the name or link let me know, anyway.. once booted up with the MOF ish zip it would load fine but wouldnt save any settings or find any APNs or connect to any wireless networks in my house, but the wireless problem was clear it said error on it, so i knew the problem on that was it wasnt working derr. So this story is getting long now. anyway i then rebooted and turned on the bootstrap slash system recovery utility, and i installed first 2.3.x_libmoto_ril.so_198_7.zip and it aborted the install and failed. i then tried the next one in line which was 2.3.x_libmoto_ril.so_254_12.zip and that one installed fine so i rebooted and i got the failed to boot 2 screen and i did the unbrick sbf file on rsd lite and it booted fine, though still no saving of the settings and no wifi no cell service and no text or anything, I kept RSD lite open and i tried one more thing, 2.3.5sv2_198_7_radio.sbf and flashed it, the wifi for the house started working and i started getting bars on my cell service yay, well atleast i thought yay this is after weeks of not having a cell. well i thought all is well im done and fixed. NOPE im not fixed when i try and dial a number or even activate my phone i get nothing, no dial buzzing sounds like you get normally, no any kinds of sounds the call eventually times out and says called failed retry or cancel the call, i hit retry and i get the same thing. i even tried flashing the radio to 2.3.5sv2_254_12_radio. when i used that one it would save settings but i wouldnt get any cell signal or anything. so im back to square one. I need help. this phone is about 2 steps of getting thrown out the window.

Wow - just Wow. Unreadable. You are truly fortunate that someone actually read that and offered advice.
yes it was a long post, yes it was all jumbled together, anyway i did all the stuff recccommended and it works. the only problem im having now is, its still not lockig onto the right cell tower or something here where i live.
I Have tried Remote Squads Full Flash and other ways of manually programming it and for some reason I cannot get it to lock onto verizon towers, its like it has me permenantly locked onto sprint. when i drive down the road about 8 miles or so i can go down at the sheetz in my area and I get locked onto a verizon tower there but as soon as i move from that area I lose it and it goes back to sprint towers, I talked with Pageplus and they told me some stuff about what SID and NID i should have in but im not sure if the info was correct they told me they didnt know pennsylvavnia all that good but here is some numbers to try .. im about to melt this thing
Try roam control.

I just rooted my new HTC EVO LTE phone recently because I had to get a new one. Any way, after rooting it, I imminently made a nandroid back up. Then I flashed a few different roms and recoverys. However, what I found out is after I flash a new rom, my wifi says error and won't turn on. I'm not sure what the problem is. And yes, I cleared everything out before flashing a new rom. However, what is even more interesting is I can use my recovery that I made after rooting my phone to go back to the stock rom and it has no trouble with the wifi. I'm not sure why I'm getting this error or how to fix it.
I've thought about flashing some new radios, but I've had issues in the past with this phone trying to make it S-Off, so as a result it is currently S-On. I would like it to be S-off, but after having a lot of experience with it, I've learned it is very time consuming to do and it is a pain to get it to work, it almost always bricks my phone and then I have to go unbrick it in Linux.
I'm planning on running through the rooting method again to see if that does anything, but I'm doubtful. I've also tried updating the prl, profile, firmware and HTC software with no luck. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks.

S-OFF is really the way to go if it's still an option for you it's the only way to get the new firmware without relocking and taking the OTA then unlocking and rooting again read post 2 in the lazypanda thread found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737123 just go down the list and verify everything works before running lazypanda there are plenty of members that subscribe to that thread so there is plenty of help availiable
Also, rerooting won't do anything. You're already rooted? Think the problem is in the rom u installed. Possibly a bad download. Try downloading from a good connection and install it again. If it is close to stock like flex's stock w goodies just clear cache and dalvik in recovery.
And what do u mean u tried a few recoveries? Cwm doesnt work well with the evo LTE. Try twrp 2.2 and leave it alone until its updated again.
What is your hboot? What rom did you try flashing?

Im also getting this issue and i know its not anything to do with rooting and all that since ive been rooted since i picked this up from best buy on preorder release day and ive been flashing and running the same rom and mods forever now also i was using wifi yesterday soooo yea lol

First, I don't believe I can make my phone S-off, because it has software version 2.13.651.1 710Rd on it and even though I do have a nandroid back on 1.13 hboot, for the default rom from a long time ago with my old HTC EVO LTE, I can't flash back a hboot to 1.13 so I believe I'm stuck S-On for now. Let me know if I'm wrong.
I've attempted several different roms including fresh rom 5.1.1, viper4G_1.0.0, and a jelly bean rom (cm-cfX-20120904-OFFICIAL-jewel all with the same problem. As for recoverys, I should have said I've tried restoring back to several different nandroid backups that I created in the past that were working just find with my old HTC EVO LTE.
Right now my phone is unlocked and rooted. I am running H Boot-1.19.000, I am S-On, and Radio-1.12.11.0809.
I know this problem has something to do with flashing new roms, because when I do a nandroid back up to the default rom, I don't have this problem, and the wifi is working great, I only have this problem if I try to flash any custom rom or use a nandroid backup that I made with my old HTC EVO LTE.
Again, this is not my first time around the track with an HTC EVO LTE, this just happens to be a new phone that I recently got from Sprint when they were thinking my dropped calls were caused by my phone when in fact they figured out they had a tower down. Since then, the tower is back up, so that is why I just rooted this new phone they gave me.
Let me know if you have any suggestions or if you need anymore information.
It's been while now, and I haven't gotten a real response back yet, and I was wondering if anyone knows anything that will help me out? Thanks.
Edit: Found out that I simply needed to flash the boot.img manually of what ever custom rom that I want to switch to in order to get around being S-On.
Please Help

Hey im having the same exact issue I however went back to my stock backup from right after I rooted. The issue I had was I flashed a CMX nightly. I had been running them fine and suddenly everything went haywire i was bootlooping but only after about 30 seconds after the rom would load up. I'd have just under a minute to fish around and the it would reboot again. it was in this short window that I saw the wifi error and that it would not connect to the sprint network at all for voice or data. Im S-On Hboot 1.15 Evo LTE. I used Flash GUI to go from Stock sense to CMX as im sure youve figured out you have to do. Since i had backups of previous CMX nightlies I tried to just restore But none of my nandroids would fix the looping issue I managed to flash the boot img from the CMX rom i was previously on through adb/fastboot and it took but still my device kept looping. Finally i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917106 but I didn't have any Sense Based Roms only my Stock Nandroid back up. So i used the Boot Image Flasher Tool, it took, then Instead of rebooting the system I went straight to my custom recovery and restored my Stock Sense BackUp since the tool flashes the stock sense kernel. To my relief the phone booted right up no problem connected to the network and all but to my dissmay the wifi is STILL broken somehow it says error and will not switch on. Everything else seems to be working fine though. This is crucial there is no way I can go without wifi on my phone. I don't want to ruin anything further or permanitely but i do plan to move forward. My plan is to download a sense rom (MeanRom) which im doing now but it's taking forever on 3G. Wipe everything (using TWRP 2.2) Data Dav rom and use super wipe, and try to install MeanRom. If anyone has any other suggestions Im all ears. Also im alittle confused on the Hboot kernel limitations I know I have to use Flash GUI if Im going from a sense Rom to Aosp and vise versa but do I have to use it when say Going to a nandroid backup of a sense rom while currently on a Aosp rom because I couldnt find a boot.img file in my backup file when i used the tool to extract it. I hate S-On HTC really screwed us with this. And I hate my original evo which had S-Off for dying on me on the 15th day and me having to get this replacement with 1.15 im sorry guys I love this phone but it has become a nightmare and the Evo 3D was no walk in the park either. I apprectiate any comment from anyone this is the first time in almost 8 years of hacking I've been truely worried I may not be able to fix something.
Try this....had the same problem during one of my flashing sessions from rom to rom...this fixed it for me.
You also might want to try a different rom with its corresponding boot img. I'm currently running Venom rom with its boot img file and its working great. Right now, it sounds like your kernel is what is giving you problems like mine, so flashing the correct boot img should fix it.

Thank you I'll be sure to try this out quick update, in TWRP recovery I had (force MD5 check on all zips?) checked now I don't remember checking it or if it came checked by default but as soon as I unchecked it I was able to run superwipe and flash MeanRom which both failed multiple times when it was checked on. Not sure if this was the cause of my problem but I agree I think I got a bad kernel in the CMX nightly. Either that or the Flash GUI app didnt exract the boot image properly. Either way I haven't been brave enough to try another AOSP rom man I hate having S-On my first Evo was perfect then I get stuck with this locked down replacement. One question though is that boot image for a stock/sense rom just wanna be sure.
vel7wil's advice worked for me I was having the same issue. Download the zip he recommends. Use flash image gui to flash the kernel and clear dalvik and cache. I just did a standard reboot after that and it said "android updating... apps x of xx" then everything was back to working.
