I've been struggling with this for about a week and I am not able to figure this one out. I hope someone here can give me a hand.
I've unlocked my phone using HTCDEV and rooted using TWRP 2.4.3 gaining root and recovery access. All seemed to work well but every GOOGLE app crashes now on start up. I can't go to the market as it crashes "Unfortunately Google play store has stopped". It does this with all Gapps.
I've flashed the GAPPS through recovery since I can't access Play.Google. and it made no difference. I can't log in to Google accounts as soon as try it gives me "google account manager has stopped".
I've tried to RUU back to rom 3.16. but RUU fails to update the phone although the restoral screen shows the scrolling dots indicating it is updating, but it goes on forever. the bootloader shows "TAMPERED" "Unlocked" and this came after using FASTBOOT OEM LOCK command in an attempt to reflash the unit. I have tried to flash to other roms like CM10 but it only gets to the point of the spinning logo and just sits there and spins, etc. Other roms get stuck as well in the first boot up logo of the rom or give a black screen. I can use TWRP to restore the backup each time so the phone works seemingly ok except for anything with Gapps.
I assumed I can't not flash JB roms without S-off and I tried to use Dirty Racun to obtain S-off but I get errors with each step so gave up on that for now. I've resolved myself to sticking with the stock rooted rom but I can't do much without Google Voice which is my text and phone account.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I've searched the forums here and elsewhere for dozens of hours and have not been able to find a solution for this or any help that might help me "stumble" into a solution. I don't mind flashing another rom if I could get one to take hold just so I can get this unit working.
I think the TWRP recovery or a old verion of Superuser might have caused this glitch. I did the rooting and recovery using this guide here htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-root/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery and the provided TWRP would not accept any input so I replaced it with 2.4.3.0 and recovery then recovery seemed to work and backup/restore but still can't flash any roms successfully. I didn't notice Superuser v0.87 here as being old (my goof) and didn't get a more recent version until after the flashing was done. LIke I said, where I'm left at now is everything seems to work but anything having to do with Gapps just crashes on start.
Any help please?
Couple things you could do if you wanted a new rom. First go to the q&a section there is a sticky titled don't panic it will let you know to fast boot the bootimg for being son or find a rom that has son kernel installer for sense mean bean does

I had this issue today when I flashed viper 4g ROM before doing my s off. I tried every approach and what I ended up doing is a factory reset, cache wipe, D. cache wipe, Android secure wipe, sd ext. wipe (I always do the wipe 3x in a row on each) then I reinstalled my viper rom (comes with the latest google apps) and off I go. Solved all my google sign in related issues. You could also try to locate a downloadable version of goomanager which will automatically check for the latest version of gapps that is compatible with your rom and download it. Doesn't need to have a google playstore link to work either.

Thicklizard, Thanks, I'll check this out now. Are you saying the rom Mean Bean is a ROM and might take hold flashing it with my s-on situation? Is MeanBean an xda developers rom? I've always had good luck with just about everything from XDA, so would love to try it. My hope is a new rom would solve whatever "hell" my phone is stuck in. Thanks! I'll see if I can find it.

dominicsdad, I'm going to check out what was suggested about Mean Bean but I did try several JP type GB apps, etc. None of them would restore the function. THis has been so frustrating. I'm a guy that can folllow the posts and the guides I read, etc., but not having the core understanding or depth shows it's ugly face for a non-connected guy like me. WHy did you do an SD wipe? That's where I keep my backups which have been the only thing that has let me get back from a few botched rom attempts. I will try the goo manager if I can find a flashable version since I'm locked out otherwise with any kind of app install. I was surprised to see the EVO LTE didn't have a file manager as I was going to try and just install google voice which would at least allow me to use the phone.
THanks!

Thicklizard,
Update, I installed Mean Bean and solved my problem. It gave me a scare thinking it would backfire with the 2 duplicate rom installs it requires but I had to put some faith in something working and it worked. Thank you for getting me on the right track!!!!!! Bill
I'm using the up-to-date version of TWRP 2.5.0.2. I followed the instructions to flash Hyperdrive exactly (3x wipes, wipes, install, rebooting, etc). My phone works after the first reboot, but after I reboot the second time after 10 minutes my phone consistently bootloops every time after that. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
I'm running the RLS3 right now because I was tired of being afraid to reboot my phone lol. It's pretty stable, the only problem is that I find I can't make a nandroid backup- the data partition is ludicrously large at 2 TB, and I can't figure out why.
Anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

You can try and switch the kernel and see if the problem still there. I would go with KT Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294083
make sure you use the touchwiz based kernel.
I don't know what happened. Or why it won't work.
When Safestrap was originally finished, I installed Hyperdrive without a problem. An update came, I downloaded and installed. It made it so I couldn't use HotSpot anymore. So, I figured it was the Rom, and I installed Jellybean Rom. I didn't like it. I tried to install the original Hyperdrive I had, and once its installed and reboots, the lights come on for one second and shut off. Downloaded the newest Hyperdrive, same issue.
The instructions say wait for 10 minutes. I did, and longer. (Range usually 20-40 minutes)
Last night I wanted to try again, (downloaded newest hyperdrive. I have sloooooow internet. Took 5 hours to finish). So, I tried installing today following the instructions, same issue. It installs and says everything is fine, reboot, safestrap pops up, loads normally through that, and the lights are on after like it starts with Stock, lights shut off, phone stops working.
When this happens, the phone does not respond to anything. Power does nothing. I waited 45 minutes the 3rd time trying to reboot after install. The phone will not turn on, respond, or anything unless I pop the battery out and put it back in. I can get back into Safestrap that way.
I really want to use Hyperdrive, but it just won't reboot for my phone.
I do have the Verizon i545 version, ME7, Safestrap, Rooted, and newest Hyperdrive Rom. Used the Safestrap Kernel, but the phone locks up.
I've tried default settings, different Rom settings, (2gb and 3gb), removing almost everything from install, adding what I want, adding what I like, etc. No combination of settings will let me phone boot into Hyperdrive.
Any thoughts?
Are you completely removing then re-creating the slot when trying all these flashes?
Are you flashing the ME7 kernel module.zip ?
I redo the rom slot each time and act like it's the first time.
And i can't install the module... Tried multiple times but it fails almost instantly through ss.

Have you tried to re-download the module? Preferably on the computer then transfer to your ExtSDCard with the ROM.
So... The one I downloaded to my computer failed, but the one I did with my phone worked.
Still the same issue. Won't boot past the SS message.

While you were trying to install did you notice if zip signature was checked if so uncheck when you install and uncheck when you install module other than that don't know what else to say. When i first started i found that to be my problem.
The zip signatures were not checked. : /

And I've tried the older version Hyperdrive with the new ME7 Modules, still won't work. I can't understand because everything says it was successful and ready to go, but it just doesn't.
Also double checked my i545 version, it is still ME7 and not the new one. The new update is pushy and wants to be installed more aggressively than the ME7 did. Highly annoying...

Get off 3.62 and go back to 3.6 if you can. use root uninstaller to get rid of the current SS and shut down normally. ( all in stock rom ) reboot to stock recovery and factory reset. put the 3.0 SS back on and install twrp through that and reboot fully. then you can go into SS and reboot to recovery and you should be good
EDIT: go back to 3.6 SS not 3.0 haha
EDIT 2: always wipe even after you just created the slot and flash the modules with HD10 and advanced wip the dalvik and the cache only. and chill for 10 and boot her up..... and make sure you didnt accdentally get the dreadful OTA!!!

I promise you this makes no sense....and I think there was something wrong with the stock rom...only thing I can conclude. I did a factory reset and bricked my phone. I can't even get into Safestrap now...whatever the issue was with the custom rom is now the issue with the stock rom. So, i'm just going to wipe my phone and start over from scratch as that is the only available step. Ill let you know if it fixed the issue or not.

Did you have 3.62? my buddy did and his phone wouldnt let him delete it! crazy. i dont like 3.62 but i was running HDrls10 like a champ. not a single issue. With the me7 base i want to say i didnt even flash the modules over it but i cant remember. but basically ( by what i wrote down) you were going to start from scratch anyway.. there is a better root out now anyway. use the dialer codes and get a REAL factory reset!! There are a lot of people that arent digging the 3.62..... it was causing bootloops for a while but there are def still some lingering issues i think.

Well...nothing has worked.
Update for everyone, I was using the older SS, 3.60.
I killed everything, put the original Verizon ME7 Rom on the phone, re-rooted, put 3.62 SS on, (Done like it), installed the HDrls10, Installed the module, (both successful), restarted, exact same thing. Right after Safestrap Enabled pops up, the phone goes dark and the battery needs to be removed and put back in for it to turn on again.
So, I tried something crazy and for whatever reason it worked as far as HD is concerned...but...I went outside of the instructions.
I have the HD rls9 Final. I installed it through SS, used the modded Kernel, (non SS), and restarted. It popped right up in about 45 seconds. (Wasnt working before I reset everything and started over)
I tried HD rls10 Final that way, and nothing.
I will be redownloading it tonight to make sure it isn't the download. (I have slow internet, itll take all night likely.) : /
If anyone is looking to actually uninstall SS (which you need to do to roll back a version) you need to use the commands hashcode has provided. Using Terminal Emulator on the stock side will accomplish that. Read up on hashcode's SS OP.
My phone will not accept HDrls 10....no matter what I try. It accepted HDrls9 without issue, minus the hotspot not working. But it will not accept HDrls10...
Im out of ideas...
EDIT: I downloaded the HDrls 10 rom from two locations, tried both, both failed this morning.

All I can think of is somehow you are getting bad downloads. Have you checked the MD5s to match per the download sites listing?

I just double checked the MD5. It matches the download. How frustrating. Double checked the build, double checked the MD5, double checked install procedure, etc. It flat doesn't work on my phone, and there is no logical reason to it. I tried from a fresh build twice now, doing the rooting and SS install from stock everything.
It locks up right after SS, still.
Electronics hate me, it has been determined before. This is just further proof.
: /
So, I've done pretty much everything feasible. Guess Ill have to stick with an older HD or different rom. : (
Also, hotspot doesn't work HD 9 for me, (nor Jellybeans). I installed the module when I did the rom, but there is no hotspot for one. And two, when I download and use FoxFi, which I paid for to use on the Stock Rom before SS, it will try to turn it on and then it freezes and crashes.
All I want is a non-Verizon Rom with working Hotspot!!!! AHHHHH!!!! Looks like that aint happening.
Well played Verizon...well played. Perahps I should get an international phone and go to another company. Expensive, but tempting.
So, the final verdict for those following -
Hyperdrive 10 - Does not work on my i545 no matter what I tried.
Hyperdrive 9 - Works but the hotspot is glitched and froze no matter what I tried.
Jellybean - Works the same as HD 9
Synergy - Works. Everything on it works, hotspot, install, etc.
Not sure why the others did not work. But, for whatever reason Synergy works flawlessly for my i545. Installed and downloaded the same ways as the others, yet it worked.
: /
I was planning on trying a few others first, but Synergy claims to block Samsung from logging information from my phone. I realize this doesn't stop every company from doing it, but its the thought that counts. lol. So, Im trying this Rom out now. It's no hyperdrive, but it works.
After a BUNCH of tries I finally got it to work!!
I have a Verizon i545 with ME7. I basically started as if I'd never installed HD 9.1 in the first place.
Here's what I did.
1. Double check that your device is rooted. I used Root Checker Basic. I actually re-rooted my device just to be sure (I venture to guess it might have been unnecessary) and it worked.
2. I used a 4GB SD formatted to ex-fat and put the HD RLS10 AND the ME7 modules .zip file on it (Both on the SD)
3. I then booted into recovery.
4. Make a new ROM slot.
5. Name it whatever you like.
6. When you go to flash HD, hit the add zip button and select the ME7 modules.zip
7. When HD gets done flashing UNCHECK the "Reboot" box up top and then hit the reboot tab at the bottom right.
8. It will automatically flash the ME7 modules next. When it says 'Successful', then reboot.
9. Give it a few seconds and hopefully it will work for you as well. Good luck.

Insert the dashclock to homescreeen or go to display setting screen saver and then select DashClock, choose setting button on the right side.

after you did the Alternative Custom ROM Method: to update to NK1 and flash ss, super su etc, did you immediately flash the custom rom or did you let the system boot and reboot into safestrap and then flash empty galaxy?

Nevermind. I allowed the phone to reboot and i got a bunch of "Backup Assistant Has Stopped" errors. Apparently my data backup had something in there that was causing this error.
I went back to safestrap, wiped, flashed empty galaxy, flashed modules and booted into empty galaxy with no issues. apps are installing as we speak.

** [ROM] Empty [VZW] Galaxy v3.92 [I545VRUFNK1] 1/2** system cannot be backed up
System cannot be backed up via Safestrap after installing empty galaxy v3.92. Safestrap always says "backup complete failed" (in red letters). Did full update to I545VRUFNK1 via directions on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-root-i545vrufnk1-4-4-2-12-1-2014-t2959613. Tried both methods, odin only method and safestrap method. Both worked ok and I am able to back up system via safestrap from here. However as soon as I install empty galaxy v3.92, whether doing a factory reset (via normal recovery or safestrap) or advanced wipe via safestrap or no wipe at all I lose abiltiy to backup system. Tried both Safestrap-JFLTE-3.72-kk-B01 and Safestrap-I545-3.75-KitKat-A03.
I spent hours trying to solve this and got nowhere. I can back up system on stock I545VRUFNK1 no problem but as soon as I install empty galaxy v3.92 via any type of wipe or no wipe at all I can no longer backup system. I can confirm I am on baseband I545VRUFNK1, Android Version 4.4.2 and using I545_NK1_Modules. I have tried every option under the sun seems the problem lies with empty galaxy v3.92.
** [ROM] Empty [VZW] Galaxy v3.92 [I545VRUFNK1] 1/2** system cannot be backed up
Fixed??!!
Went for a ride into the city this afternoon, listened to some Bluetooth music, changed theme in supersu, set correct time zone in safestrap
No major changes made
Decided to give it another go after like 8 hours of trying to solve this yesterday. System (and data) backs up ok now.
From what I have read in the General section for this device, you need to do the temporary kernel downgrade method to root NK1 with towelroot. ..
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah I did just that. Used I545VRUFNK1_I545VZWFNK1_I545VRUFNK1_HOME.tar via odin to upgrade to NK1 (came from CarHD 32.1S v2 NG6-NCx STOCK so unable to get OTA update). Once I update to NK1 use odin to flash I545_NC5_Stock_Kernel, run towelroot, then use odin to flash I545_NK1_Stock_Kernel. Then install supersu.
Honestly I don't know how I fixed it. My best guess is somehow having the wrong time zone in safestrap somehow caused a problem backing up system. All I know is now I can back up system ok (data too).
Thanks for the help anyway...still worth giving a thumbs up!
phone issue when connecting bluetooth during call
i have an issue that ive found. when i accept a call and then connect my bluetooth headset, com.android.phone crashes and i cant hear anything in my bluetooth headset. i can still talk on the phone and sometimes it switches to speaker. i cant hang up either even if i click phone again.
i managed to recreate it and recorded a logcat with catlog but i dont really know what everything is doing in there or if i caused it with an app conflict.
normally i have my bluetooth headset connected first and then make a call and thats fine. i just switched to this rom last friday or saturday and i dont think i connected the headset during a call since then.
thanks.
I am a bit confused over what is the purpose of the empty galaxy rom. Does it actually free up any space on the internal storage? My S4 seems to have about as much free space as running a full stock rom. What are the actual advantages of running the empty galaxy rom versus a full stock rom?
I love the work on this rom and enjoy running it. I am just curious as to why my S4 only has 6.5 gb free on the internal storage when I barely have any apps installed.

The current size of this rom is less than 1 gig. Current stock 4.4.2 is approx 2.6 gig so there is 1.5 gig saved... UNLESS...you are keeping stock rom in Stock slot and employing slot-1 for custom rom which means you have approx 3.5 gig in just rom. I run EVG in Stock slot leaving other slots empty and have 101 USER apps on phone w/ 6.5 gig left on internal SD.
Nk1 modules
Where can I download Nk1 modules?
thank you
I just wanted to thank you for this rom. It works great, and is the only one I've had zero problems installing. Are you going to be developing one for the lollipop update once it's released? Perhaps one that can be installed with safestrap so that we don't have to do the ota update and lose root access?
Problems with GPS and Keyboard.
Hi I'm still new to flashing roms and such. But I have a Verizon S4 with a FRESH INSTALL of NK1 Towel rooted with Safestrap v3.75, I've attempted to install your rom to my phone and it goes through fine. I have flashed the NK1 Modules. However my GPS is locked on PowerSaving, I can not switch to accurate. Also when I attempt to switch to SwiftType (Keyboard) it prompts me that it may collect data, I ok that and it goes back to Samsung Keyboard. How can I override these? I am having issues with "EGR_TWUI_321". Thanks for your help. If you need more information let me know what you need and I'll try to reply promptly.
So just out of curiosity I wiped my system and started over from a base NK1 then I went through the steps of rooting and Safestrap, but I installed the 3-4-15 version this time. And the above issues are not present. However I really dislike this one when compared to the newest one when it comes to theme and customizing. It's also not as bloat free as the other one. I still have Amazon music and NFL and even VZTones.... Any idea why the newest one is breaking the GPS and the Keyboard? I really want to run that one again =(

It sounds like you either done a dirty flash or your system didn't get wiped properly.
That or those apps are being restored from the Play Store. I could be wrong but I don't believe any of those apps are even in the rom.
Maybe a factory reset (full wipe) and a clean install would solve your issues.

Thanks I'll try starting over from base and seeing what happens and I'll update you. Towel is the app used to root the NK1 firmware, safestrap is the app that we who are stuck on Verizon with a locked bootloader have to use to flash roms. SwiftKey is a keyboard app from the play store. Or where you talking about my second flash with the 3-14-15?

I know what all of those are, I was referring to your statement about the bloatware...

Gotcha. I thought it was weird too still have them too. I just reinstalled the newest version this morning. Everything seems to be working now. Not sure what happened since it was the only Rom I installed.
