Background:
Unlocked, Rooted, S-Off, ICS Leak RUU 605.22
Was running Ivysaur Rom with no issues at all. On Sunday afternoon, the phone started acting up, wouldn't light up when pressing power button, huge lage problems and all the sudden, incoming calls lock the phone requiring a battery pull and outgoing calls lock during call resulting in battery pull. Well Sunday night Venosaur was released so I tried to update to that, update went good, but no fix. So desperate, last night I flashed the new leaked RUU. Everything went great, thought everything was working, but now, no incoming calls at all and outgoing locks the phone. Please help me, i'm at my wits end.
Upon further investigation, it seems as if I'm getting tons of Android Process has stopped, where you either select ok to close or wait. These are happening in the background for some reason. I've ran fix permissions, just tried clean wipe 5x and then flashing scroslers new debloated of the leak. Still having issues though. I think these process stoppages are causing my messaging issues too, as in no landscape texting which now comes and goes.
What should I do?
Wipe data/cache/system/boot in recovery and re-install rom. Be very careful of what data you are restoring as it sounds like a data issue to me.

I've once had similar issues flashing one ROM over another without wiping data properly. Could be due to different UIDs, folder layouts, etc. compared to the ROM pre-Ivysaur. And then Titanium Backup restores wreak havoc due to the differences. Remembering to do nandroid backups helps for just such occasions.
If sure about being fully clean before flashing, check MD5 of your downloads for corruption, check network settings in the ROM, reflashing the RUU twice in a row before using, and reverting back to PKMN ROM or downgrading to try and fix the call issues.

I found the solution to the problem described below. It was ROM Manager that was sabotaging me, for whatever reason. I went into CWM manually, wiped everything obsessively 3 times like I've seen other people describe, installed 1.6, and it worked perfectly. Too early to say how it actually runs for me but I least I've got it fully installed!
PROBLEM:
I started from stock rooted S-off ROM and installed Das BAMF 1.5, wiping everything as recommended. Under Settings/About Phone/Software information, the baseband, kernel, build number etc were all correct. Things ran OK, although battery life was pretty bad. But there were a number of anomalies. The Verizon bloatware still seems to be present. The location reticule is still present in the notification area. Etc.
Today I installed 1.6 over 1.5, again wiping everything even though it is said not to be essential. I did the install through ROM Manager. Everything proceeded as expected, the boot animation screen shows BAMF 1.6, all the About Phone information is correct for 1.6. But again, the location reticule is still present; signal strength indicator is 4 bars instead of 6, Verizon bloatware still present.
I know the real action is in the development thread but I still need a few more posts before reaching that exalted status. Anybody else seen/solved an issue like this? Any help is appreciated and if some kind moderator feels led to move this to the other thread, all the better!
[EDIT] A couple other anomalies are the extended Power Options and Reboot menu options shown in the 3rd and 4th screenshots at the beginning of the Das BAMF 1.6.1 development thread-- I don't have those. On the other hand, I do have BAMF Toolbox, Call Recorder, and other expected apps included with the ROM.
Thanks very much.
I'm having the exact same results. Frustrating!
Are you installing with ROM Manager, or directly from CWM?
Having the exact same issue and I installed with ROM manager. Should I reinstall 1.6 manually in CWR? I JUST rooted my phone a week ago and I think I may have flashed it 20X already, lol! I also have weird caller ID issues, it says CDMA call waiting when I miss a call, and Call waiting when I have a voicmail. If flashing it manually will fix these issues, I'll do it again!
Here's the thing I don't get. What's the fricking point of wiping 3 times?
If wiping == formatting a partition, then what good does it do to do it 3 times? None that I can imagine.
If wiping == deleting everything in a directory tree, then again, what point is it to wipe 3 times? What is accomplished on the second and third time that isn't on the first?
Just my opinion. I've never had a problem with wiping just once.

I would try hbooting the unsigned stock RUU. Then try flashing the rom of your choice through Cwm not rom manager. This should start you back at scratch with s off along with clearing up any bugs you can't seem to get rid of.
I had the same problem. Don't use Rom Manager for this Rom. Do it manually and everything will be like it should.
Ditto to that. All my unfruitful efforts were due to initiating the process via ROM Manager. Doing it all via CWR did the trick.
Hi,
I recently flashed Infusedth3ory from Gingerth3ory 5.0 today. I did a full wipe and everything. I've noticed that when I go to send a text message, the messaging box starts to flicker every 2-3 seconds, maybe a bit longer. I cleared the messaging data from settings/applications, but that yielded nothing. A bit later my phone started randomly rebooting. This hasn't happened before on Gingerth3ory so I might recover that backup. I'm running the recommended .627 radio. Any help would be appreciated
Did you clear delete all user data / wipe davik and regular cache's and format system data before flashing?
I'm running this rom with no issues.

Yup I made sure to do all of that. At this point the rebooting is getting to me but ill just wait for a major update to the rom :/
PLEASE HELP!!
I installed the Alpha-X ICS ROM for Evo 3D. The problem that I'm facing is that it keeps re-booting to "No Service" state.
I've already tried toggling the "Airplane" mode method - the moment I turn Airplane mode off, the status bar shows that I'm connected to Sprint but within a second starts rebooting (showing the ICS start up screen animation) and goes in a loop for 5-6 times and then ends up back with "No Service" state.
Please help as I really like this ROM. I am a newbie here, hence XDA doesn't allow me to post directly to the Alpha-X thread.

Hello,
How did you flash this ROM? Are you on HBoot 1.5?
If so, you will need to re-flash this ROM using Fastboot (PM Me if you cant find the instructions)
Yes, I'm on HBoot 1.5 and flashed it using Flash GUI.
I was earlier using ClearROM.
Update: I guess, i realized the problem - during the first time I had flashed this ROM, I had cleared all data & cache 9basically factory reset). It had worked fine.
Once in, I used Titanium backup to restore all my app data (including system data)... I guess that system data is causing this issue. I re-did the entire process (factory reset & flash) and now it's working fine.
I'll go ahead and try restoring only user app this time and update back.
This just proves my "Noob"ness, I guess

I just wrote a post about this lol. Yes, it is only the system spp/data that will cause the issues. You shouldn't have problems restoring all of your user apps and data. I am running ALPHA X with all of my apps and data restored through TB with zero problems.

LOL....restoring system data can cause all sorts of hell for you as Bamba1260's already pointed out and you've already figured out the hard way, and there's nothing wrong with being a "noob" either, but keep in mind if you're looking for a stable and fully functioning phone or prone to freaking out when something goes wrong.....this is after all an ALPHA (experimental / for testing and bug reporting purposes only) rom. Indeed it is a very good alpha state rom, but things are likely to and should be expected to go wrong with it periodically.

Yeah.. that's one more thing I did realize.. but was so enamored by the ICS ROM that I wanted to "taste" it one way or other..
Anyway, since I'm not done with my first 10 posts, I will have to post this bug(?) here for everybody's FYI that the GPS doesn't seem to work with this ROM.
So, know before you jump...
P.S. I still love this ROM - one of the smoothest that I've tried.
Having trouble with what I think is my modem. I went from saurom(phone working fine) to unofficial
ROM. I didn't do much testing and I flashed a theme that put me in a boot loop. So I restored my nandroid backup before the theme and now I notice that I am having a hard time receiving calls, most of them go straight to VM. I can however make calls fine, and send and receive texts. My data seems slow or unresponsive at times too. Any ideas?

I ask, did you wipe everything? Did you do it twice? Even with your nand restore?
Just a thought, CWM is beta-ish and might have flaked?
A good test would be to flash / restore to stock and see if you still experience the same issue.
I've always wondered if tid-bits might not be wiped, not wiped right / clean and or get left behind.
I've noticed that even the stock reset to factory and format usb storage leaves things behind. I've "wiped" a few notes and they still had previous pictures, contacts and directories still accessible afterwards.
YMMV, just suggestions, you assume risk and responsibilities.
This seems to be a weird issue that I'm having, and I hope I'm not missing a step...
Anytime I install a custom rom past 4.1.2; I get no phone audio. I can load up web pages fine, SMS/MMS works to my knowledge, but there is no phone audio. I'll call my house phone, and it will ring the house phone, but I cannot hear myself through the other line. I've tried flashing radios/modems, different combination of ROMs and kernels, and the only way I'm able to keep an active phone, that is able to make phone calls, is to stick with a stock ROM.
My first thought is maybe it thinks it's an unlocked phone? And that's causing it to act up, but I've never had an issue like this before. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't believe the kernal is problem
What is your specific device model?
What have you tried to flash exactly?
Who is your carrier?
Are you flashing clean with all wipes?
Are you letting rom settle?

Apologize for the delay - been busy at work. I guess I could've been clearer.
I am using the SGH-i717 on AT&T. By stock, I meant a Touchwiz-based rom (i.e., Padawan JB). I have no problems with making or receiving phone calls. Whenever I flash a ASOP-based rom, (i.e., LiquidSmooth, BeanStalk, etc.) I have intermittent phone issues. The phone issues I'm having is not having audio when making or receiving phone calls. I know that it is actually placing the call, but I cannot hear the person on the other end, nor can they hear me. Now if I go into network operators, and select an operator that I know isn't going to work (i.e, Verizon, or T-Mobile), and then use "Choose Automatically", sometimes that works for a little bit. However, that has been working less and less now.
My process of flashing includes flashing the rom of choice after a full wipe and reset (right now, it's LiquidSmooth 4.4), wiping the cache and dalvik a couple of times, installing Polluti0n's rom patch, wiping cache and dalvik a couple of times, then installing PA Stock 4.4 Gapp, and finishing the whole process by wiping cache and dalvik a few times more. This is all done through gimmeitorilltell's TWRP Recovery 2.8.0.0
As stated before; I have no issues with Touchwiz-Based roms. I can make and receive phone calls with no problems. Also, before I rooted the phone, i updated it through Kies; so I assume that would update it to the latest radio available. That would be my first suspect, but I'm having difficulty finding a flashable radio for the device.
There also might be a step I'm missing, since all my experience previously with rooting and flashing came on CDMA devices, so there was no issues with radios.

first off i would flash the rom like so.
1. Factory Data reset
2. Wipe Cache/Dalvik
3. Format System/Data
4. Install rom from Sdcard
5. Wipe Cache/Dalvik
6.Reboot device
7.boot back into recovery
8.Wipe Cache/Dalvik
9. Flash gapps
10.Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Check to see if all is well once the rom is flashed and only the rom. Seems like over kill but can help narrowing down the issue, but i do agree with you as kies being the culprit I never did use it let alone trust it to update the device. Odin would be a better choice and no need to update the device for the latest radio as we have flashable zips. Blazes ics modem is what I'm currently using and has been great, one last thing I'd recommend is to go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and grab the JB update and flash it via odin if all else fails.
I experiencing a similar symptom. Intermittently, not one can her me no I can hear anyone. I'm currently on Slimkat 4.4.4 and I have to reboot in order to make the call. Never had this problem when on stock JB 4.1.2.
Can some one point me to how to downgrade to Stock 4.1.2. Thinking about going back, I need a reliable phone.
