So, I was running NeoMax 2.0 for the most part without any problems. I swapped batteries like normal and then the phone started bootlooping, never leaving the HTC screen. I put the regular battery back in and still had the same problems. I had been planning to switch rooms soon anyways, so I decided to flash Neo's AOKP. That ran fine except for that I had no wifi and data would mostly stay on 3G. I tried to do a nand restore to the last working version of NeoMax and the bootlooping continued. I tried to flash the latest ruu and that also had me bootlooping. Going back to AOKP worked just fine but again, no good data connection. Any ideas aside from getting a new phone?

going to need some information from you:
are you s-on or off?
what firmware are you on?
what hboot are you on?
question can be answered by turning off the phone. boot the phone up but hold vol- and power. type all the information in the top left corner

Current:
S-OFF
Kernel: Snuzzo's Funky v1.3
Rom: Neo's AOKP v1.5 Linaro
Radio: 2.22.10.0801, 2.22.10.0803
HBOOT: 2.27
I am s-off with hboot ver 2.27. The last RUU I flashed was 4.03.605.2 from micromod's thread here. I believe that I used version 1.2. I followed his instructions first flashing the firmware, then recovery, then the ota global plus. This was the same firmware that I was originally on before I left NeoMax2.0. It kept bootlooping so I flashed Neo's AOKP again. Both his AOKP and AOSP work just fine besides the data problem. I also flashed snuzzo's funky kernel v1.3 and it didn't help. So currently I'm stuck in AOKP/AOSP with only 3g data speeds. Should I try flashing an older RUU?
once my phone charges up, i'm going to flash the stock 3.14 ruu. i'll check back and let you know if it worked.
it's a no go. flashed the 3.14 ruu from shippedrom.com and kept boot looping. sometimes it would get to the 2nd htc splash screen but it wouldn't actually get to the rom. fresh out of idea's, could use your magic synister!
hmm sounds like what happened to me i found a thread where they said that when running the .2 global ruu you need to flash it twice in a row ( i did battery pulled when it was ready to reboot then went back into boot loader) and do a factory reset all from the boot loader before you install recovery and then boot rom they say it helps with data problems worked for me anyway

Thanks for the reply, I'll try it out tonight. I'm thinking that maybe I will try to flash the global that originally came with my phone. I can't remember the exact one, but I think it was the gb version just before ics came out. I'll post an update with the results.
hmm looks like you have the right radios and hboot or anyway its the same as i have but it still wouldn't hurt to start over the only reason i say something is because i skipped the factory reset in boot loader and i had data problems im not the smartest android on the block here...lol so i try not to tell people stuff that i dont know about that well just what worked for me
And flash Neo's CM9 RAGE rom (aka funky symbol rom).
AOKP has issues where you can lose 4G by going into network settings, CM9 apparently does not. Also, make sure your network mode is set to the one that supports several different data modes, even if you don't get them. Trying to use the one that just says CDMA/LTE prevents 4G signal.
And just FYI, you can run neomax 2 on top of the global firmware, you just can't use it as a true global phone since it is an older rom.

Shortly before I flashed the new radios, I had a problem that whenever I tried to connect a call, whether incoming or outgoing, com.android.phone or.. process.acore?? would force close. I can't remember what the exact name of the acore force close was. Anyway.
I was pretty sure I fixed the problem before I flashed the new radios, but either way, I have the problem again. And, I have noticed that after the force close, the SIM seems to reset. Get a toast message for preparing the SIM card.
It makes no difference whether its the stock dialer, or a third party like Go Contacts. Third party apps don't force close, just go back to whatever I was doing before I tried to connect the call.
I tried flashing the viper with both dsb's stock and cubed kernel with viper to no avail. I haven't tried RUU, or old radios simply because I haven't had time to back up.
Any ideas before I do RUU?

I had the same issue today between 2 and 3, but it wasn't letting me send texts even though I could receive them. Maybe a network hiccup?
I am on stock radios, didn't know new ones came out. It is working for me now.
in the same boat
looks like we're in the same situation. I looked through the threads and this is another case of call errors. I found this thread and one other, not sure if it was droid dna related.

I had the same issue, actually was getting soft reboots upon receipt of an incoming call, happened to me after s-off. It took a bit of fiddling, but I finally got back up and running 100% by flashing stock kernel and a clean ROM install.

Basically I hd the same situation happen to myself, no calls or data but wifi was good. Mine started to fail slowly , firs \t it was showing a 1X connection but dl were about 3G speeds. Next I lost signals in areas I never had signal issues with. Then total loss. New sim card and spent hours on the support line and a replacement unit.
Got a PM request for assistance, and thought I don't have a lot of tips to offer other than what I provided before, I'm going to post a more detailed overview (as I remember it, it's been awhile...) in case it's helpful for any other who may come across it later. The bottom line for me was that once things broke, it didn't work again until I flashed stock kernel via fastboot +modules in recovery and did a clean install of Hatka 3.03 w/ Sense launcher. That said, because of my flashing compulsion and failure to fully test things once installed, I can't pinpoint the exact step at which things broke.
Initially, I: Bought phone and factory reset, did not take Verizon OTA. Fiddled around, hated Sense, unlocked, flashed recovery, flashed Viper 1.1.0 (?, whatever the base was), booted and setup, fiddled around, hated Sense, wiped data, flashed 3 subsequent Viper updates (1.1.1,2,3 maybe?), booted and setup, fiddled around, hated Sense. Wiped and reinstalled de-Sensed Viper a few times in an attempt to get rid of Sense as much as possible.
Then things get murky. I did s-off, and at some point flashed (recovery) a kernel, Cubed I think. Wifi or something was borked (as I understand is the case with Cubed/Viper), and I flashed stock kernel back via recovery (no modules, I didn't catch that part at the time) and restored my backup for good measure, leaving me on fully functional Viper 1.1.3. Everything worked for a few days, but I continued to hate Sense, and began searching for something more sensible. At some point I flashed Hatka 3.03 w/ de-Sensed options, went to 320 DPI, and thought everything was fine for about 18 hours until I realized my phone was warm, and figured out it was rebooting every time I received (or placed) an incoming call (boss was pissed and kept trying to call me, already gives me a hard time about being an Android fanboy so I'm never going to hear the end of that). After a few hours of fiddling and various recovery attempts including restores and full wipe/clean installs of Viper, I finally managed to get things up and running with A. flashing stock kernel via fastboot + modules in recovery and a full wipe/clean install of Hatka 3.03 w/ Sense + Xperia launchers and eventually a 380 DPI.
One of or some combination of the s-off/custom kernel/failure to reinstall stock kernel modules/de-Sensed/low DPI/pin lock/Widget Locker/Viper combo I had going fouled something up, which I know is not entirely helpful. If I found myself in this situation again, I would flash stock boot.img via fastboot + modules in recovery, and probably flash a stock ROM to rule out anything else, then wipe and flash things from there until I got where I wanted or it broke.
For the record, I'm now back on my Galaxy Nexus until stable-ish CM 10.1 is within sight or I get tired of waiting and sell the thing, I just can't tolerate Sense.
same issue
I've been reading wherever I see this topic and haven't found the answer that I'm looking for. Have tried everything said but nothing has fixed my problem can't make or receive calls. This problem happened after I turned s-off have relocked boot loader, flashed RUU, reset factory, re-unlocked bootloader, re-flashed different roms, and flashed radios still not working. No doubt it is a software issue. Does anyone know how to format internal storage on this phone. My thinking is if that can be done problem should go away and then can re-flash to stock. Any help would be most appreciated.

Have you tried fixing permissions? In some other post I read phone process force closing was just a matter of wrong permissions.
In other hand I think if you format system, data and cache the phone storage would just keep hboot and recovery; at that point you could only run RUU to stock or adb sideload from recovery if your CWM version has the feature.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
still problem
Yes have fixed permissions. Also have formatted everything I could in CWM still have problem. Is there a way to format with ADB commands?
I very thoroughly apologize if this has been asked and discussed before, but apparently my search skills aren't the best. Anywho, her's the issue.
I've used a number of different ROM's since I first got my DNA back in January. I've used older Tranquil releases. But anything after 2.1 I believe it was, I haven't had WiFi. I have it just fine with all other ROM's. But no matter what I do for Tranquil (even up to and including RLS 4.2), there's no WiFi connection. It says it's trying to find sources or something and eventually errors out. I have no idea what the problem is. If I go back to 2.1 or 2.0, WiFi works great. This kind of sucks as I really enjoyed the earlier Tranquil releases and would like to continue using them. I'm currently using NOS m7's latest release for 4.1.2 (couldn't get their 4.2.2 release to work for some reason, just sat at the HTC screen for over 30 minutes, even after wiping the entire phone and attempting to sideload).
Anyway, if someone can tell me how to get WiFi to work on Tranquil releases after 2.1, that would be awesome. And again, I apologize if this has been covered before. I tried posting in the official thread but my lack of post count keeps me from doing so.
You need to update your firmware to 2.06

Can I ask where it's failing? I'm running the 4.2 ROM, and WiFi seems to work fine.
Be happy to look at my settings for you if you need, but IIRC, it came up correctly the first time -- during initial setup.

I've used this same cord to ADB push and sideload while in Recovery before. Plus it reads just fine when the phone is on as normal. Wouldn't that make it fine? (Note: Not being sarcastic or anything, genuine question. I know how things can be misinterpreted over the 'net so I kinda like to point out how I mean things.)
Edit: I got it to work so far. I'm reflashing back to complete stock now. Apparently a driver wasn't installed for it to be detected in Fastboot. I'll post back after I get back to stock, completely update to newest, and reflash Tranquil RLS4.2.
So I got everything installed, running again, latest updates, reunlocked, TWRP back on, flashed RLS 4.2... No WiFi still... What am I doing wrong here?
Edit: NOS M7 3.0.4 is doing the same thing it was before, also. It's not even getting passed the HTC screen, no matter how long I let it sit. This is quite frustrating. I put M7 2.0.3 back on and everything works as it should. Anyone have an possible solutions?
Do you upgrade your firmware?

are you s-off or s-on sounds like youi aren't getting the kernel. If you are s-on you have to extract it and push it seperately, or find one marked to be flashed seperately s-on. I didn't see where anyone posted this. Sorry if I missed it. Busy here at work but saw your thread.

Other than being rooted with the custom ROM, it's whatever the normal S is (can't remember off the top of my head). I rooted and tried the Moonshine thing but it never took (on stock 2.06) so I just went through and reunlocked with my original packet from the HTCDEV website and went about things that way.
Ok, it's an easy fix. When you flash from recovery you are getting the rom, but not the kernel information. I assume you've probably been having bad battery life also. The only way to falsh a kernal s-on is with adb push, or with a hboot flashable where it goes all the way back to the white screen. if you download the all in one kit I think you can use that to push a kernel easily. I can never remember the adb commands. I think they suggest beaups kernel for that rom. Go ahead and download the two, and pm me if you need any more instruction.

You're right. My battery life has been absolutely terrible. I can get maybe 6-8 hours until I'm at 30% or under, and that's not doing anything. Much less if I actually want to do anything with the phone. I'll give those two links a look. Thanks. :good:
Edit: So, I've noticed it's now S-On and the kernel isn't showing on the device. I copied the .zip over to the main directory where I always do, and it's not showing on the phone. But it shows just fine in Windows.
Edit again: Got it to flash using Sideload. Before I do anything else, is it okay to now flash RLS4.2 and see if WiFi works? Now that that's on there, it should be good, right? Or do I need to flash RLS4.2 and then reflash this kernal?
Yet another Edit: It took me a while, but I noticed a LOT of things were missing on the phone after flashing the 2.06 kernel. The one that made me notice was FaceBook. And Google Play Store wasn't there anymore, either. I've reflashed to Digital Dream 2.2 and everything is back to normal. This is really frustrating.
Pm me when you're working on this again I think there are a couple things that are confusing.

I finally got it to connect.
I was running DigitalDream 2.2 while trying to figure this all out. I ended up getting S-Off and reflashing. For me to S-Off while already on DigitalDream 2.2, I used the first part of the Mooshine Method (downloading their 2.06firmware zip file, flashing that, rebooting) then used the FacePalm method. That successfully got me S-Off. I noticed that even on DG2.2 after that, I had no WiFi. So I decided to try flashing Tranquil 4.2 and now I have WiFi working. Hope this helps anyone that has the same issue I did.
Not sure which forum this should be in so i'm asking it here. Apparently, I can't activate my new sim card for the 4G unless i'm stock, unrooted, locked bootloader. I guess I jumped the gun after I got my phone, but before I got the sim card and rooted, unlocked, etc. I think I know the steps to take to get it back to compltely stock, but I want to make sure.
I think I need to run the script and relock the bootloader, then flash the stock RUU file.
Is that correct? Is that the correct order? Am I missing any steps?
Thanks a bunch for any speedy repsonses because i'm in a bind right now and have to get this resolved by morning.

I'm pretty sure being unrooted is not a requirement. Just install this ROM and boot the phone with your SIM inserted. It should activate fine.
OK. I will try that because I am having a heck of a time getting activated on my CM rom. Even had a Verizon tech trying to help me for over an hour.
I see that ROM requires me to flash a new boot.img. When I rooted, the directions said to flash dirtyracuns Hboot. Will flashing this one effect anything? If I change ROMs, do I need to flash DR hboot again?
Thanks for the info...

Boot and HBoot are two very different things. Flashing different boot images will not affect your engineered hboot.
You definitely don't want to talk to vzw reps if you're running cm. The more tech support requests they get from users running non-official builds, the less likely they will be to ever allow phones with unlocked bootloaders on their system.
Turns out my problem was from a borked radio. Being new to this, I didn't even know that could happen. Saw mention of it in another thread when I was just browsing around. Thought maybe that might be my problem so I followed the directions for fixing a borked radio and got connected right away. Boy this forum is helpful. Thank you.
BTW, what is the best network setting to use if I am in the US only, Global, LTE\CDMA or GSM\UMTS?

I am having a similar activation problem. What did you do to fix the radio? My problem started a few days ago.
I found the RUU for just the radio and applied it. No change. I get a LTE signal but the phone doesn't know it's own number and thinks it is roaming.
I followed the steps in this thread to restore my radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45476579#post45476579
Unfortunately, I never was able to get the radio to work with any of the CM based ROMs so I have ended up using a stock based ROM. ViperLTE. It is an excellent ROM and works great, but I got the phone recently so that I could run CM ROMs. Had I known I was going to have so many problems, I would have waited until February when my upgrade date came up and got one of the newer phones. I guess I still can, but I'd hate to waste the money I paid for this phone so soon.
sim issue
Turns out my SIM was actually bad. When you looked in the about, the SIM id number didn't show up. It had worked under 10.2 stable for several weeks before it stopped working. It had gotten worse over a week or so. At first a reboot would fix it. I did a clean flash of CM 11 at this point. After replacing the SIM the id number showed up but still couldn't make calls.
The problem went away after restoring a CM 10.2 back that had worked. I then did a dirty flash of CM 11 over it, with the kit kat gapps. It all worked out fine. I am speculating that a clean flash of CM 11, might not work.
Just got s-off on my DNA but installing a custom Rom makes the phone randomly freeze and reboot. Tried CM11, carbon, and a few others. The time before restarting varies wildly from 10 seconds after boot to 20-30 minutes. It seems more frequent when the screen is on or when plugged into my PC but I could just be imagining things or could be coincidence.
I have flashed and rommed many phones over the years and this one really has me stumped.
I cleared the cache and dalvik and formatted the system partition before installing the Rom and gapps. I have tried multiple roms and multiple versions of gapps as well with no luck. I have superCID of 11111111 from the original unlock process if that makes any difference. I have currently RUUd back to 3.06 for now and it seems perfectly stable on the stock Rom. Any help would be appreciated!

check my thread in the same section, mine started doing this two nights ago. I don't know why it started, my phone was fine prior to this. I did nothing to it, had been running Venom for a while, and two nights ago it started rebooting randomly and wildly. I have switched ROMs twice since then and it has not stopped. Like you said, it tends to be when the screen is on or gets plugged up. But unfortunately mine is doing it a lot on answering phone calls. I don't know if we are having same issure or what.
Possibly

I don't know if we are having the same issue it may be that we are though. I am on stock 3.06 not one reboot since I went to work this morning. Get home, install the newest twrp (it is removed in the RUU process), install cm11 snapshot m5, and the appropriate gapps. I got through setup to the point of adding my gmail and it froze and rebooted. I tried cwm recovery too but it made zero difference
TBH my screen is shattered really bad and I was going to replace it but I don't want to if I have to run stock roms forever. I was running one of the original Venom roms before s-off was possible, but then I broke the screen and switched back to my droid bionic but now I can afford the new LCD so I want to get this one running

Did you use the proper recovery stated in the thread to flash the rom, have you installed any new apps recently? Does it happen when you run the phone in safemode? Have you tried Performing an RUU and the unlocking and installing a custom rom again?
Did all that

I have done all of that stuff multiple times
I haven't installed any apps at all on it. This phone is basically brand new, I got it right when they launched. I shattered the screen like 3 days after I got it, and tucked it in a drawer. It has been sitting there ever since.
I have another piece to add to the puzzle. While it has the stock ROM installed it seems to get service and work just fine, but when I install the custom ROMS it has absolutely zero cell connectivity (though WiFi works fine.)
Going into the settings reveals that on the custom roms it shows the IMEI and MEID as Unknown, and the ICCID is listed as Unknown as well. If I try to change the network mode (to LTE/CDMA or any one of the many available options) it says com.phone has crashed.
After the RUU process I have my proper MEID and ICCID showing in the settings panel, and service returns.
Can't flash radio?
After discovering the issues with the service while on custom ROMS I wondered if the radio had something wrong with it.
I tried to manually reflash the radio via fastboot (fastboot flash radio radio.img).
I tried this both in standard fastboot as well as in the rebootRUU mode, but both times I get an error that says remote not allowed. Could my bootloader somehow still be locked? The flag in bootloader mode says "Unlocked" but I unlocked manually after obtaining s-off rather than doing it officially via HTCdev. just trying to explore all options
My phone did that at one point. I had to re-lock and RUU back to 100% stock. I then unlocked my phone with Rumrunner S-Off tool. Flashed a Sense 6 ROM and has been working fine since.
Fixed!
So this problem is fixed!! I am not 100% sure what did the trick, so I will post my solution here in case anybody else experiences a similar issue. I won't go into too much detail with these instructions as all the tools are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612740
I first downgraded to the 1.15 hboot and radio. I had to rebootRUU and flash them there as it can't be done directly in fastboot as far as I know.
Do them one at a time (flash the hboot, then reboot-bootloader, then rebootRUU then flash the radio, then reboot bootloader again.)
After doing this I tried to run the RUU exe but it came up with an error that it could not update my phone, so I did the manual Alt 3.06 RUU.
This seemed to work great, restarted the phone and saw the stock rom. I then changed from superCID 11111111 back to the stock CID, relocked my bootloader went back to s-on status. At this point I ran the RUU.exe again just to make sure everything was as stock as could be.
Got that all finished, ran RumRunner again, installed CM11 and no reboot for nearly 24 hours. Pretty sure all is well!

Good news and bad news. The good news is for you!!! I think I figured out what the problem was. It seems to be an issue either with using an older radio, or an older hboot on a newer ROM. I don't know why exactly, but the RUU process was not properly updating my radios. This may be because I ran an RUU while unlocked at one point (every guide I see is very adamant about relocking before the RUU process.)
The bad news is that I ordered a new LCD for my DNA, and I ruined my phone trying to do the repairs. It is by FAR the worst phone I have ever had to work on. I have replaced LCD's in Galaxy devices, Iphones/ipod touches, laptops, TV's, and one in a smartwatch and have never hurt a thing. Got my DNA back together and it flat out wont turn on I don't know what the problem is, but something is fried. Hope you have better luck than me!
