On every haykuro build that I install, no matter what, it will either get stuck on the G1 screen or android/htc screen during boot after a restart.
I have reflashed my phone to RC29, re rooted, re installed JFRC33, and then tried updating from there 3 times and still I get the same problem.
It is really pissing me off now because it makes no sense that it won't work for me but it does for everyone else.
here is a log of the phone during the hanging G1 screen
http://pastebin.com/f58ba7818
haykuro said it is the new build.prop that is causing my problems but why would it only affect me and no one else?
If anyone has any idea of what is wrong, please suggest what to do.
JUST FYI
Yes, I did wipe before installs
Yes, I have completely reflashed my phone to RC29 and then re-rooted
Yes, I have checked the MD5 sums of all the files I use
It's unbelievable annoying.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
Wait a little linger!
k when flashing to the haykuro builds the first couple time it takes a little to boot. your not waiting long enough. I almost took my battery out to start over again when bam the htc boot screen appeared. Trust me re root your phone from RC29 and add the 5.02h build and you will be all set I promise. you don't have to add Jf 1.42 RC33 build first. Once you get all set then update the radio. Hope I helped!
Well I waited well over 3 hours before and it was still hanging. and the output from the log looks like the build.prop is causing it to crash.. but I don't know why. I have flashed the recovery.img and I know that I am using test keys.

Don't know if this will help but, have you tried completely reformatting your sdcard and trying again, or preferably trying a different card? I have problems flashing when using my 8gb card, yet the 1gb card that came with the phone works fine..

you probly have a low class memory card and they are slow So it may take a while.....like the post above says swich cards and yull be alrite
Well I'm not using apps-to-sd.. would the sd card still affect it? I'm able to install the port fine and set it up, but after it reboots is when it gets stuck on the G1 screen.
yess it would because it is updating the system from the card
I tried again with my freshley formatted 1 GB card that came with the phone and still I get the hanging G1 screen.
I really don't think it has to do with the SD card, I think that it's something else.
bump.. anyonee?
have u updated to the new SPL and radio images that are on his site?
My devphone hangs for me on the Android startup. Now I can't do anything other than fastboot.
Bootloader: 0.95.3000
Baseband: 2.22.19.23
I can't even recover to any of my previously working firmwares because my baseband version isn't 1.22.14.11. I'm stuck!
Fixed the problem with an Alt-W wipe at the recovery console.
Yes I have updated the radio and the SPL but still the problem persists. I did a complete re isntallation of DREAIMG.nbh with the 1 GB card that came with the phone (after I formatted the card) and then rooted, isntalled the modified recovery.img, then I installed 5.0.2 again, and I still got the same result.
I really don't understand.
I really wish someone knew how to fix this I miss those soft keyboards.
just a quick question, do you have to wipe your phone (alt+w) everytime theres a new rom update? for example if going from JF ADP 1.5 to JF ADP 1.6, do you need to wipe phone before applying the 1.6 update? or is it only necessary to wipe if your going from different roms for example JF to Haykuro..etc..etc
thanks
anyone have an answer to my question?
I'm curious as well. The impression is that you do not as long as you've wiped when you originally rooted.
I'm sure the safe answer is yes, you should wipe but that's a pain in the a**.
You should wipe IMO.
If you don't wipe and run into esoteric issues most likely you will be asked to do so anyways as it is the only useful troubleshooting tool most of these people have because
1.They don't know any better (no ones fault)
2.They don't have time take a look at your debug logs and then instruct you through some most likely intermediate-advanced commands to fix the issue.
Say you moved into an apartment and it's filled with the last occupants stuff. There's a blood stained sofa, stacks of magazine around the WHOLE apartment and a dirty toothbrush. Are you going to be comfortable sitting on that sofa? Would those magazines get annoying? Would you brush your teeth with the dirty toothbrush?
If you have to walk 10 miles, do you wear your own shoes or the last runner's leather shoes that are two sizes too small? If you can even get the shoes on you, you're gonna be in pain and give up within the first mile.
^_^
My answer is: Always wipe. Let the new OS use his own shoes.
ok i understand where you guys are coming from, but what if its only a small update to say JF ADP 1.6, and you are on JF ADP 1.5, it wouldn't make sense to do a wipe just for a small update. am i wrong here. now if ur going from JF to Haykuro then a wipe is definitely necessary. I read somewhere before, that mentioned you didn't have to wipe if you were staying within the same rom. i guess i just need a better understanding on this.
See the quote in my signature
hahaha! ok so I guess I will wipe before applying any new updates. what about the JFupdater app, it says it applys any updates, i dont believe the app wipes your phone before applying it, so is it best not to use the jfupdater when flashing an update?

My suggestion is generally this: Try it without a wipe. If it works, then great, you keep all your stuff the way you had it. If you run into issues that seem blaringly obvious(home process crashing, many force closes, boot looping, etc) then go back to the recovery image and do a wipe. There aren't any problems I know of caused by not wiping that can't be solved by going back and doing it after the fact.

thanks! thats exactly what i was thinking but wanted to be sure.
now wiping wouldn't mess up any links to the sd card(apps2sd) correct? wiping basically justs wipes the data from the phone....i guess what i mean is would I have to set up apps2sd again?
i'm with marcus, if you can get away with not wiping great, if not oh well wipe. or you could perform a nandroid bakup and then wipe, then after the update just fastboot flash your data.img

You would only need to restore the symlinks (if that's the method you were using).
Hi,
The release of the stable CM7.1 really encouraged me to finally S-OFF my phone and install it. I used Revolutionary 0.4pre4, and installed CWM 5.0.20. I wiped everything (data, system, cache, dalvik, you name it), and installed the CM7.1 update zip and right afterwards the new Google apps zip. Eventually, I used Fix Permissions, and rebooted.
I was quite happy, until I saw the com.android.phone FC message. It just showed the same message over and over. I updated my radio to the latest version, to no avail. I tried reformatting, re-wiping, reinstalling quite a few times, and I even tried 3 different sim cards. I finally decided to go back to RUU (kept S-OFF), and didn't get any FCs.
I'm really frustrated, since it is my first Android phone, and I really believe I tried everything already.
Thanks in advance.
I got no problem at all until now.
Another thing I've discovered is when I get these FCs, sometimes if I enable the bluetooth, the phone suddenly discovers the network and the FCs stop. That's just very odd, to me.
I really hope that's not a problem with my phone (especially since it does work properly with RUU).

Nothing has ever broken my phone quite as much as when I have done the 'fix permissions' thing. Totally screwed my phone and was FC city. I've never done it since, and never had any problems since. Try going back over your steps and leave out the fix permissions part!
I recently had a quick go with CM7 nightlies and had no issues. This included the last nightly before it became stable which was very close to the stable version.

Odd. Here is how I did mine, step-by-step. (Do a NANDroid backup before this, and copy it to your PC/Mac.)
1. Install latest 4EXTRecovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130004
2. Use this to format all partitions to EXT4. (Not sure if you are using EXT3, not sure if it matters, just saying I'm on EXT4 formatting with no issues.)
3. Do the full wipe & manual format routine (including boot) again just in case!
4. Flashed CM7.
5. Flashed Gapps.
6. Flashed Tiamat kernel (1.1.4)
7. Reboot.
I'm used the same radio as in my sig but also doubt that matters. Not sure what else to suggest. Try downloading the ROM again, and compare the MD5 of your two downloads.
Wow, I believe I'm in some big trouble now. I decided to try and get my phone replaced in the store since I just recently bought it. I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17481836&postcount=2 to get back to S-ON, but when I tried to flash back the RUU, I get a CUSTOMER ID ERROR and the flash fails.
I've tried two RUUs: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed
RUU_Saga_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.1_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199476_signed
But they both end up the same way. I'm now stuck on the HBOOT screen with S-ON and a big purple security warning (I guess since CM7 is still on the /system partition).
Any help?
Try solution 2 of this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284196
but replace the mmc....
With
mmcblk0p25
this will format your system partition,
maybe also data could be formatted by replacing mmc... with mmcblk0p26,
after that run the ruu again.

I don't really have access to recovery (it just gets me back to fastboot), let alone Android, so I don't see how I can follow this guide (maybe I misunderstood)...
I have FC with Market. Everytime i try to acces it.

Have you tried wiping cache and
dalvik cache?
I also had fc after an update, this solved it for me.
If you're using cyanogen, try changing the language to English us, this solved it for some users.

Never mind, I actually created a goldcard in order to bypass the CUSTOMER ID error and flashed my phone back to original and S-ON. Thanks anyways.
Just as a note to everyone, you should really go about getting back to S-ON via this way: Flash any RUU, get the original HBOOT image from that RUU (you can find it in your temp folder while flashing the RUU), and then just downgrade the HBOOT using fastboot. Easier than going through ENG HBOOT, and allows you to avoid these kind of problems (CID errors).
The problem is that you restored "DIALER STORAGE" via titanium backup. Reflash ROM, and don't restore this. It'll work, FOR SURE.

Sure, it's really the same process for all HTC phones and works even on the newest models (Sensation generation). Thanks a lot to EFI from AlphaRev who actually pointed me in the right direction.
I used this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
I'm using Windows 7 x64 and when I inserted the card after modifying it, Windows required me to format it (as opposed to what's written in the above guide), but it still worked. Also, since my phone was stuck on HBOOT I had to use another Android phone to get the SD's CID (I used a friend's SGS, and the SD slot to query is mmc2 on it).

Well, I actually didn't use Titanium Backup at all, so nope.
Okay, I'm basically going to just copy and paste my issue and edits here from the Zeus thread I couldn't get any help on. The edits are so anyone who actually read this can see what I did and have been doing so they don't suggest something I already did.
So the other day, I tried to flash to the Doctorz ROM and of course, made a Nandroid backup. After messing with Doctorz, I went back to Nandroid or clockwork recovery (whatever it is) and after restoring, I was on another modem and stock kernel. I tried to reflash Zeus and wiped partitions cache and dalvik cache and now I'm having serious issues. I have my SIM card in my phone, but it keeps telling me I don't even though it's there. Even weirder, I have one or two bars even after I pull out the SIM card. Earlier, it was detecting that I had a SIM card, but said "Invalid SIM card" or something and now whether it's there or not, my phone says it has one or two bars even though I can't do anything. What's going on??
I've tried rebooting several times and activated Wifi and airplane mode, but had no luck. SIM card's in right now, but my phone says no service.
EDIT: Forget it. I just did a factory restore and wiped everything and reflashed Zeus.
EDIT 2: Okay now I'm having other issues. My phone recognizes my SIM card again and now I'm getting my normal signal, but I can't do anything wirelessly, like send a text or use up data. It SAYS I have signal and am connected to the HSPA+ network and the arrows are flashing and whatnot, but I can't do anything wireless. I can't go into the market, send a text or use the internet browser. Someone please help?
EDIT 3: Okay, I was wrong on that last part. My texts weren't going through because of bad signal, but I definitely have no data AT ALL. All I have are a few bars, but nothing about 3g/EDGE/HSPA+. I think this is an issue with APN settings?
EDIT 4: Messed with some APN settings... kinda back to square one, where the H+ shows up and I get Edge sometimes (I have bad signal where I'm at) and the arrows are flashing, but NOTHING. I still can't use the market or any data at all.
EDIT 5: I just decided I'd try to be next to my router and turned on Wifi... my phone would not pick up a signal from my router at all, and it works just fine. I'm starting to think this is a modem-related issue...
EDIT 6: Okay, I kinda fixed the problem, but my data speeds are SUPER SLOW and sending one message takes a really long time. I know I have bad signal, but it's never been this slow, even when I manage to pull up two or three bars. I tried messing with build.prop, but as I'm on Zeus, the settings were already fixed up.
EDIT 7: Okay, the Wifi issue was because I used the wrong WEP key. Oops. After I managed to connect though, I couldn't get any data. My phone just doesn't want to use up any data apparently? I reflashed the modem Zeus normally uses and now if I manage to get some data, it's unbelievably slow and can't use Wifi data.
EDIT 8: I forgot to mention that if I don't get to connect somewhere with data, my phone will just tell me there's no data connection or whatever even though I have two bars. I tried to fix permissions and rebooted, but no luck.
Someone please help. This is really annoying.

Damn! That's a lot of edits. Odin back to stock, and start from scratch. But remember to do a factory reset from Phone, go to settings, Privacy and erase everything. that will clean up everything that you have there.
That's the only option I see will fix all your problems

Yeah, that's all I could come up with. Thanks anyway. I did that a few minutes ago and flashed Zeus. I'm just waiting for my phone to load up. I tried to let it load up, but it kept saying not enough data on the partition or something. I probably shouldn't have tried to flash Zeus immediately after flashing back to stock. After I went to CWM from flashing to stock, I immediately tried to flash to Zeus, but had issues. I'll take the blame for trying to rush and take shortcuts. I'll see how this goes again though.
Okay, after flashing back to stock with Odin, my phone loads up and does the "Rethink possible" thing when you turn it on and after that, nothing happens. The screen just stays off. If I press the power button, nothing happens, but if I hold it, it just reboots and goes back off. This is just annoying...
EDIT: Okay, it worked the second time. I have no idea why as I did nothing different, but it works. Now I'm gonna try to flash Zeus again.

Faint,
I got lost trying to understand what you were trying to ask.
Gtg unbrick is prob the best option.
It's usually best to describe the system, setup, the bug and the attempt.
Then pose the bottom line question.

Well what I was asking originally was how I can fix the problem I was having, but flashing back to stock via Odin helped. Now I'm having ANOTHER issue... after FINALLY having fixed up everything, I tried to restore some stuff with Tibu, but then my phone started saying a bunch of processes were force closing or something, so I tried to reboot and now I think I'm bootlooping. I'm stuck at the "The Collective" thing that shows up when you boot up your phone and it doesn't do anything. It'll go and do what it normaly does, go black and start up again, then come to a complete stop and repeat the process. I then went to CWM and tried to wipe factory settings, cache and dalvik cache, but I'm still having this issue. Geez, it's one problem after another, and all I wanted to do was restore my apps. On the bright side, I DO KNOW flashing from Odin helped because once I regained control of my phone at the way it should be normally, I had my normal data speeds and didn't have issues with data. I'm going to try to fix this bootlooping issue now. :|
EDIT: Escaped the bootloop(?). Thank God... I honestly thought I'd have to flash back to stock with ODIN AGAIN and then redo everything.
Hey, so another question... before I flashed to stock and everything, I backed up all of my apps with TiBU, but now I can't find them; the restore file(s?) so I can get all of my apps and their data back. Was it saved to the internal SD card? Because I formatted that after backing up...
EDIT: Never mind. I looked around my SD card and... ugh. All my apps are gone and so are my backup files for the apps. Great. Thanks anyway, you two.

Hey, so another question... before I flashed to stock and everything, I backed up all of my apps with TiBU, but now I can't find them; the restore file(s?) so I can get all of my apps and their data back. Was it saved to the internal SD card? Because I formatted that after backing up...
EDIT: Never mind. I looked around my SD card and... ugh. All my apps are gone and so are my backup files for the apps. Great. Thanks anyway, you two.

If you did a factory reset from within the phone, it will erase everything...
After you odin or heimdall a stock package, and flash a new ROM, don't restore tibu or apps. Download new.
Occasionally they get corrupted and cause you phone to soft boot

Well what I was asking originally was how I can fix the problem I was having, but flashing back to stock via Odin helped. Now I'm having ANOTHER issue... after FINALLY having fixed up everything, I tried to restore some stuff with Tibu, but then my phone started saying a bunch of processes were force closing or something, so I tried to reboot and now I think I'm bootlooping. I'm stuck at the "The Collective" thing that shows up when you boot up your phone and it doesn't do anything. It'll go and do what it normaly does, go black and start up again, then come to a complete stop and repeat the process. I then went to CWM and tried to wipe factory settings, cache and dalvik cache, but I'm still having this issue. Geez, it's one problem after another, and all I wanted to do was restore my apps. On the bright side, I DO KNOW flashing from Odin helped because once I regained control of my phone at the way it should be normally, I had my normal data speeds and didn't have issues with data. I'm going to try to fix this bootlooping issue now. :|

One more thing to add on to the TiBu thing, when you restored your apps what option did you use? If your restoring the batch options only select "missing apps with data.". Any other option and you run the risk of getting constant FC's.

That's why every time I flash a new Rom, I always never back up anything. I rather start from scratch and go from there. This I know for sure I wont have any issues.

I have found this to be the best for me also, new ROM...fresh install of all apps...so easy when you have the apk's, I just put them in a folder, then to my sd and install away and if I need to update I look that app via the market and update that way, or via the desktop pc thru the market online.
I found this site very useful has all my apps I need/require:

^Yeah I didn't use that option because it had a zero and didn't let me do anything, so I tried another option. I can't remember which one, but yeah I did get constant FC's.

Yeah, it seems that's the best way to go. Even though I backed it up with CWM, I didn't expect it to not backup the kernel and modem. I realized the kernel part a lot sooner, but after having a lot of texts that didn't go through the way they normally would, I thought it was an issue with my phone and then I decided I'd check the modem and found out I didn't have the KL2 modem I'd normally have.

Well I already had everything figured out by the time everyone said something, but I appreciate the effort and tips nonetheless.
So I had cm12 installed and something happened to where my.phone was lagging so I said screw it and reflashed, while something happened and now I tried to while everything. Well I think I did something wrong because I lost all my apps in the app drawer,but when I go into file manager all my stuff is still there,but now the last couple times I tried to reboot the charging light was flashing red to yellow, but when I take the battery out and put it back in it reboots fine back to the screwed up home screen. Still with all my apps and pictures. Viewable in file manager.someone please help I'm freaking out thinking my phone is screwed up for good ....
Very hard to understand you. What ROM did you flash to now? Does TWRP work, can you get into TWRP?
Yes I can get into twrp,basically it threw me back into my cm12 ROM with none of my apps,and I tried to reflash Google apps and it didn't work,so if I can get into twrp is there a way to fix this by doing like a general full factory reset? And if so exactly how do I do that? I dunno this sucks....I dont wanna try anything else until I kinda have an idea what to do, don't wanna screw it up anymore

If you don't know how to factory reset you probably shouldn't be flashing in the first place. I highly suggest just doing a clean flash and flash Gapps right after you flash CM 12. In order to wipe data, you just click wipe in TWRP.
No I know how to factory reset lol.it's just I did that and when it would go to restart I got little error code up in left hand side of screen. But it doesn't matter because thanks to androidrootz I downloaded New firmware connected it to pc and completely reinstalled operating system. So I'm not rooted or anything and I'm back to square one, .but much better than where I was at.
If your custom Rom was bugging out it could have been a corrupted download. Sometimes all you can do is start from scratch. If you want to flash custom, you need to expect these things. Remember that this is a development site. I have seen where the same Rom acts differently on the exact same phone model. This could be due to a variety of things such as microscopic differences in hardware (this is one of the reasons phones of the same model handles being overclocked more our less than others), settings, tweaks, or apps installed.
