Hello. I've done a few searches, but there's no suggested fix or correction ton the problem. Sometimes when I install a custom ROM (it doesn't matter which one or what slot) using safe strap 3.11, after wiping cache, dalvik, factory reset, and system, then installing and rebooting, the ROM always has issues when it gets to the 'turning on WiFi' screen. It never turns on and all the buttons do not work except the skip button. If I skip the step, my WiFi will lock and never work correctly. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what the problem could be?
Sometimes it will work after a few flashes on the ROM, but its kind of annoying to flash something over and over, with hit or miss software.
Fixed: I figured it out. If anyone else has this problem, go back to your stock ROM, uninstall and reinstall safe strap, then flash your ROM again (and gapps if needed). Don't wipe anything, just reboot immediately after you flash. It will start working correctly.

Whenever I flash a rom, the phone seems to work fine. However, whenever I reboot for any reason, as it begins to load the phone vibrates once, then pulse vibrates twice and will show an error. It will then begin the setup process like I just flashed the rom. Any programs installed give the same one vibrate, pulse vibrate error and must be uninstalled and reinstalled. In addition, my text messages and call log are both erased.
Am I missing something? Is there anything I am doing wrong?
I am using CWR Voodoo 2.5.1.x. I wipe data/cache/dalvik before every rom flash.
This first occurred after flashing SC 2.9-voodoo, but is also present on DarkREVENGE v3.0 as well. I haven't tried any other roms yet.
Thanks.
P.S. Also, I don't know if it's related, but I have to turn signature verification off to install anything. Is that a problem with Red CWR or is that also related to my issues?
I ran into this too. I discovered that sometimes the personal data partition gets messed up after changing roms or using odin. If you go into Task Manager under the Summary tab it should show the Personal Data row with something/104mb. When this happened to me it says 0.00/0.00gb. The only way I could fix it was to disable the voodoo lagdix,ODIN back to DI01, boot into recovery and do a factory reset to get it back. I always make sure it's there before trying any other roms.
Just my 2ยข worth.

I recently flashed alien 4 with the theme and all was good for a few hours but then i suddenly couldnt answer calls. when i get a call the phone vibrates nonstop without a ringtone but i cant answer or decline it and com.android.phone eventually force closes.
i reflashed the rom with no luck, fixed permissions flashed the old radio.
I have now flashed the cwm backup of my stock unlocked rom and the problem still persists.
pls help
ps I have an unlocked att atrix
anyone? ... Ive had to resort to switching to my old bb, feel like I jumped back a generation techwise
Do a full fastboot wipe. People often flash things without doing a proper wipe then are confused why things are broken. This means /system, /data, /boot, /cache, /preinstall, /webtop. All wiped. Then go into cwm and for good measure do a factory reset and wipe dalvik. Then flash alien, reboot, let it build system files, then reboot and flash the theme . Bam. Done.

did another wipe according to the above instructions and seems to be working for now. Thanks
I've tried it all folks. New kernels, factory reset, different radios, different ROMs. Every-thing. The WiFi will turn on for a quick second and I will get an error message "Unable to scan for networks" and then the Wifi will just turn on and off on and off over and over again. I've even deleted the files in the data/dhcp and data/wifi folders. Rebooted, still same issue. I've deleted the files and flashed a kernel and rebooted, still same issue.
Of course I am still in contract and will have to purchase a new phone outright from Verizon if I can't get this issue resolved......
I don't know what else to do here.....
Did you try formatting data and system before installing a new rom from recovery? If that doesn't work i would say its a hardware issue. You're not restoring system data with any backup programs are you?

I've wiped pretty much everything known to man on the phone. The ROM installs are all "fresh" I haven't tried to install any APPS on the phone. Just wipe everything, factory reset / Dalvik Cache, all of it... install fresh ROM. Try to turn on Wifi, phone boot loops. No matter what ROM I install, still same issue with Wifi / boot looping.
Well guess we can close this out. I went out and paid full boat for a Samsung Nexus since I couldn't fix this issue.
I'd like to reopen this topic. I had been running Bamf Forever 1.10, but last night I decided to try another ROM because it's been running really slow for some reason.
Did a wipe (factory reset, Dalvik cache) and installed Thunderstick. Now WiFi is broken -- the exact same problem as described in the original post. I tried flashing a new kernel and new radios, and cannot get WiFi to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Will flashing back to stock ROM/unrooting help?
Thanks!
@ajoesq I had the same problem when i installed thunderstick thru boot manager. My wifi stopped and I could get it going on my phone rom. So i booted back into thunderstick and wifi was working. Booted back to hte phone rom then into recovery and then i flashed my phone rom again without wiping or anything (Thunbershed V1.2) and it worked fine. wifi started agian.

Run a logcat when you try to turn wifi on. Put the output on pastebin.com and post the link. This might tell us what the problem is.
I'd make sure that the radio(s) were at least at the minimum of what the ROM called for.

Im unable to make voice calls through the Phone app. It will connect, then make no noise (ie no ringing). Same if i receive a call, i hit accept and i hear nothing, nor can the person calling me hear anything. I can use the voice search/navigation, and i can use other voice apps (ie voxer) just fine. SMS works, as does 3g, and im not getting any error messages.
Phone is GT-I9100, Kernel is Siyah 3.1rc6, running D4rom (ICS). I've tried 3 seperate roms (Omega v11, D4, and Slim (all ICS)) all having the same issues. Im assuming this is an issues with ICS (or more likely something i didnt update prior to switching) but ive spent about 6 hours now trying to find out what is causing it.
I realize downgrading would solve this, but i'd rather find out what my issue is and fix it. any ideas?
Flash again, but this time full wipe, it happened to me once on d4 rom, this should do it
Edit: have you tried wanamlite with siyahkernel? If you follow the below, you shouldn't have a problem.
A. Ensure FULL wipe;
1. System
2. Cache
3. Data
4. Dalvik cache
B. Immediately Flash ROM
C. Let boot and initial setup
D. Check if phone dialer and choice calls are ok?
E. If ok, Restore only user apps and data. NO System crap. Recheck
F. Reboot and setup accounts. Recheck

Still no luck. Flashed 3 times, once with D4 again, twice with wanalite. did factory reset, manually wiped /data, /system, /cache, and Dalvik cache. after doing initial run (i didn't set up my gmail account, since i need wifi for that (data cap is annoying)) i tried to make a call, and it still wont ring. At first it would end the call after 15's or so. after restarting it it would go longer, usually until i end it. SMS still works, as does 3g data.
I got an error this time setting up the clock, but it was only visible for about 2s. It was something to do with setting the time, if i can get it again ill try to write it down.
Also, when wiping the Dalvik cache i get this :
E:unknown voluem for path [/sd-ext]
Dalvik cache wiped
any other advice?
I finally downgraded to GB rom (unnamed). Phone worked fine, as well as everything else. Ty for your help though, It was greatly appreciated.
Also, i noticed prior to updating it that the search and back buttons didnt do anything. IDK if this is normal or not, i dont use those buttons much.
Very strange after fresh full wipe and flash, and test without setup of the different ROMs
Edit: Have you tried flashing some of the alternative ICS modems found in the modem thread? Maybe yours doesn't like the modem packaged with the ROM.
If that doesn't work, what if you flash one of Intratech official or Frankenstein firmware. You'll need to re-root after and flash cwm again.
That error with the Dalvik is ok. Forget why, answer will be found with some searching though. If you look carefully, it would have said "Dalvik cache wiped"

Hi Guys Just updated my Razr XT912 To Jellybean which is good but had some serious issues i think
1)when the OTA Got Installed my Phone turned on after that weird issue ..Phone automatically showing as Connected to HDMI Cable asking to Choose Mirror Or WebTop Mode.. i cant get rid of this issues rebooted lot of times no luck Finally connected to lap-dock its fixed issue for now
2)Can't Autofocus any more in camcorder Touch Focus not Working
3)Battery draining quickly im not enabled Google Though
so Guys any help regarding this .? really ur help will be appreciated .
Hello Harsha,
It would be best to flash latest stock rom with rsd and wipe through stock recovery.
Wipe cache in stock Recovery, do 2, I repeat, 2 fdrs, wipe cache again, reboot.
Had a few screen issues (primarily in selecting text) and did this. Somehow it fixed it.
I think that some people are having issues after the OTA because it didn't wipe everything properly. Doing 2 factory data resets, through recovery, generally wipes everything properly.
K guys done factory reset 2 times ...still same issues
