Personally I wipe everything and just make sure I have anything important backed up, so my recommendation is a full wipe before the flash than to restore whatever you had lost . . . Apps via titanium, sms via go sms or sms backup and restore, and contacts via google or another app.
Hope that helps.

Or...
As the change log for 1.2 says: no need to wipe for update

Das BAMF 1.2 ROM ???

I am preparing to flash this rom.. i am a n00b and cant reply in developmentel forums. I was wondering if someone hasd this rom and could help me.
It says not to wipe with 1.2 treat it as an upgrade. Does this apply to the people who already have this rom just an easrlier version? I am flashing from the stock rom should i wipe..?
Yes, if you are flashing for the first time, wipe data, wipe cache and dalvik cache.
dalivk cache? what is that?
reboot into recovery and there should be an option. I did just have a bad install though of this rom after getting virus working, It couldve been a bad DL or install who knows, but please make sure to make a backup of your system before you wipe. Its just always smart to do so you know you always have something to revert to. I had freeze ups twice but just rebooted into recovery and am restoring now. I only say this so if something does go buggy you dont freak.
you have to flash 1.1 first before 1.2. I do not know if 1.2.1 fixes that but as of a few hours ago that is how it had to be done. I kept getting my TB stuck on the storm and never logged into the phone.
no you dont...i never installed 1.1, just wiped cache and dalvik and flashed right over the old debloat rom..
The whole point is that apparently a lot of people are having issues booting into Das BAMF 1.2 after wiping data. So, basically, you want to NOT wipe (which is the exact opposite of normal ROM flashing behavior).
A "sure fire way" to succeed is to (obviously, backup first) install Das BAMF 1.1, wipe data&cache, boot ... add your gmail accounts and let everything settle, reboot into recovery and install Das BAMF 1.2, and just reboot WITHOUT wiping.
I came from using Das BAMF 1.1 and had no issues, but I didn't wipe. Good luck!
ok, i installed 1.2.. froze my phone.. had to do a recovery.. seems to be fine..
i see theres a 1.2.1.. should i do that with a wipe? or should i do 1.1 with wipe then upgrade?
My experience too.

This is how I got it working. This ROM screams on my phone! Also keep in mind that the boot animation is short and the reboot after install is usually long. I waited at least 10 minutes before doing a battery pull.
Coming from the boLTEd rom I am assuming to wipe everything, flash 1.1, then flash 1.2. Here goes!!
All this talk of not wiping makes me wanna grab some sanitizer. hehehe

Yeah this is what happened to me. I was going to try doing what you did but it was 2 am my time already and had to be up for work in five hours. I put the virus rom on first to see the look and feel of it, so had to do a data wipe, when I went to do das. Ill try DAS again later tonight, i think i may like the feel of this one more after playing around with virus for a bit. right now Im back to my stock root de bloated with what I did, so if i have problems this afternoon ill post back.
You guys running this... is Tango working for you? I can't get it to activate my camera

Help installing Cyanogen Mod 7 (comming from bamf 1.7remix)

What are the basic things I need to do?
Flash a new radio?
Factory reset?
I know I need to flash gapps after I install the mod.
Which download do I choose from the CM7 page? 2.3.4? or is that the update and I need to download the first link then update it with 2.3.4?
Thanks for the help!
cm7 is based on the froyo radio so you don't need a new radio.
Download the latest gapps and cm7 rom.
Wipe data, cache and dalvik
flash the cm7 rom, once finished flashing the rom, flash gapps, do not reboot into the system, stay in clockwork.
Once finished flashing both, reboot system now.
finished.

No, Cyanogen mod wont work with new radio. Wipe cache/date, dalvik cache and install CM7.
im not getting any service signal...
is it possible that I have the incorrect radio?
I did install a leaked version of the radio update a while back
does anyone have the radio i should be using?
thanks

Go to the radio thread in the dev section and use the first one with a baseband that ends in .0223r
The leaked radio will NOT work
THANKS! Got it working! Its real nice!
Few problems, weather and weather widgets aren't working
No bars light up (still have service)
Also, how do I get my contacts back, I normally just use backup assistant
Should i install the .apk and run it?

Unable to mount sd-ext, can't flash kernel

Hi guys, so yesterday I decided to take the plunge and unlock my evo 3d with htc's tool. It seemed to work as expected (s-on with unlocked banner). I was then able to flash cwm 4.0.1.4 and root using the su zip floating around on here.
My issue seems to be that aside from the nandroid backup I made all the roms I have tried break wifi giving the wifi error instead of on or off. I tried synergy rom, viper rom and viper rom with silverneedle. I also noticed when I was flashing in recovery it would say unable to mount sd-ext and it looked like under the settings> about phone> software information that the kernel had not changed.
I'm at a loss as to why, but I think it may be related to htc's unlock method, although I am fairly noob and may be totally wrong. Any help is appreciated.

Since you used the HTC method then you have the newest OTA updates and bootloader. Your banner should say S-OFF though if you had a typo above about that.
You cannot flash a new kernel yet with the new hboot. You need to stick with the stock one for now.
When flashing other ROMs are you doing a complete wipe first? If not, that might be your problem.
Go to the Development section. Many useful instructions and guides are there.
That's what I was afraid of, but that wasn't a typo. My bootloader says ****UNLOCKED**** with S-On. I was reading that this was what was to be expected with the htc unlock though.

If it's still letting you use Super User and says you're rooted then it should be OK I guess. The main thing is when switching to a completely new ROM you should always do a full wipe - everything except sdcard.
There's a superwipe zip you can flash in recovery that will do all the necessary wipes for you.
I was wiping data/cache and dalvik cache. I'll take a look at the superwipe zip. I'm ok with stock rooted for now but it would be nice to use roms at some point.
Sent from my Shooter using XDA App
Yeah just wiping cache and dalvik isn't going to work. New ROM means backing up apps (if you want), then full wipe. That will wipe the system and data too (and I think android.secure and sd-ext).
Ok. Finally got everything to work. I used superwipe but I also had to use one of the synergy nightlies based on 2.3.4 to get my radios to work properly. Currently running synergy build 331 and it runs great. Thanks for the help

I have the same problem:
wifi error
Kernel doesn't change
Also my Android version now shows 2.3.3
Can you please tell me how you got it fixed?
Sorry I'm a noob... Details would help. Thank you
if you upgraded to HBoot 1.5 and used HTC's unlocker you have to install a 2.3.4 ROM or the WiFi and possibly 4G radio will break. If you are interested in Synergy ROM try their RLS1 build or any build version 319 or newer
i cant post a url here cuz i am still a new user on the forums but go check out the official nightly folder linked in the following thread:

what to do to revert to the original Telus rom ?

Since I'm rooted and flashed Faux kernel, I have connection problems (wireless & 4G), is very slow. Today I had an infinite bootloop, I removed the battery to solve the problem. I also had problems with update SU ... I went on the market for the SU fixer. For that, it's ok...but is there anyone who can tell me what to do to return to the original version of Telus? no more for me.

You will also need to flash stock kernel back, I'll let you find that in the dev section...i'll give you a hint its by xboarder and its called kernel flasher by xboarder.
Thank's for the answers ... I flashed the kernel again and now everything works normally. A question about the superuser, I have a message telling me that it's obsolete, yet I installed the fix from market, always the same message, you have an idea?

Did you flash the stock rom back???? you should not have superuser if you flashed the stock rom back. you should always wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache, wipe factory settings from recovery before installing a rom.

absolutely not, just rooted (xboarder56 utility) & flash the kernel.
For SU, I currently have version 2.3.2.-efgh ... he told me There's a new version 3.0.3.2, it downloads but when installing, it says error

then you should flash the stock rom back.
hasoon in post number 3 told you what to do. Why are you not flashing stock rom back????
Because now everything is working as I want and I have the stock rom, right? First, I wanted it to be root with a custom recovery while keeping the rom that was already in phone. Eventually, I download another rom.

Random Restarts

Any ideas as to why my phone will randomly restarts when it's sitting idle after a fresh ROM install, full wipe, cache, dalvik, system?
I'm installing the latest MeanROM and latest Infected Eternity, same result.
I reinstall all my apps from previous ROMs from either myback up pro or the market

Thanks for replies!
Bit of background:
-This is a new phone (and by new, i've owned it since it was out of the original box), not a refurb.
-HBoot 1.4
-S-OFF
-When I mentioned restoring the apps from MyBackup Pro, It was only with APKs; but it also happened when I just had it redownload them all from Google Play. I did the restore method via MyBackup Pro as an attempt to see if it would help.
-Stock battery
The only thing I can think is it's an app that is just not sitting right with the ROM?
I'm using the Infected Eternity ROM now and it just will randomly restart when it sits there idle.

What software are you guys ? 2.17 or 2.08 ? I have seen a few folks have issues flashing 2.17 builds because they are still on 2.08 software and never updated to the latest...
When I look under "About phone" it says my software number is 2.17.
I've done the RADIO Only update, other than that I haven't done any other updates. I know there's the software update thread but I was hesitant to do it because I wasn't clear on what it was doing except for the RADIO ONLY update. I don't want to update my HBOOT to 1.5 lol
Bump? To the top!
Are you flashing a different kernel with your rom??? Also you should flash the aio that freezas or haux put up because I'm taking a guess here but I think your running a newer base Rom with out the updates and from what I've read that can cause some issues. Here's the hboot link that haux posted flash the one with out the hboot. I've personally flashed both of theese zips without issue. Also you should "IMO" not ever use Google to restore your apps or data. It has been know to cause system conflicts. I've never used mybackup so I can't comment on that but I'm sure its better than Google Lol I'd recommend using tb or tb pro. Also I'd recommend only backing up really important apps and just reinstalling the rest to avoid conflicts in the future. Hope this helps.

Also after you flash that you should do this

That should help with the issues. Hope it does.

The first link I get this: "Valid download request check failed.
Please click here and try your download again."
I just did this about 20minutes ago before reading your reply: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21374142&postcount=131
Do you think that is the same thing and sufficient for what I may be missing that's causing it? Next I'll do an SD card wipe if it continues
Are you trying to download this from your phone ??? If so try a pc. Also i have the zip if you cant download it. However I just tried it and the link works. Remember download the non hboot zip. Also if your trying from your phone use the stock browser and open up the settings menu and uncheck mobile view to see if that will allow you to download the zip. Also the first link I posted is a more up to date zip than the one you flashed.

If you have s-off on 1.4 you can update to 1.5 without losing s-off. That's what i did, used htcdev method to unlock bootloader and retained s-off. I used revolution to get s-off originally.
And you probably need to flash all the 2.17 stuff i used a zip that had everything in it found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21374142&postcount=131
Hope that helps
Updating with the update I linked seems to have worked!
Thanks guys for the help
