5.2.1620 & + issue

ive been flashing roms for a good year now with pretty good lucky with everything. but now with the 1620 and greater(1908) i have had the problem where i will build a rom or flash one of the cooks roms(OCTAIVOI's Wizard 4.5) and it will flash fine..but upon the first boot(and every boot after) it will freeze and restart when it reaches the screen calibration... i have only been able to flash and run one 1620 ron and that is NBD 9.1
i really have no idea what this problem is, i have tried everything i can think of(flashing back to manufacture rom)
any help or just ideas would b great appreciated!
i hope im not the only one with this issue...

Perhaps it is a touch.dll related issue, the touch driver on the wizard is either one that is compatible with the Touch sfotware such as the cube etc, and the other is not (the original) perhaps you are combining the wrong driver into the ROM.

no i dont believe so, bc ive tried roms that were already built and tested by others...and i have the same issue some how...and on my rooms i dont include the cube so i dont believe i a touch.dll involved....im starting to wonder if its might b a hardware issue somehow..idk
on another note my wizard cant be overclocked past 223...idk if that could have any correlation...
thanks for the fast response!

Are you flashing from a base rom like tmobile or cingular 1st?
Try those then flash to the wm6 of your choice. NBD seems the most stable with that build.

Blurry Screen - Testers and Problem Solvers UNITE!

Ok, so wanted to start this because I have seen ALOT of people have this issue and I myself have loaded Hero and Non Hero ROMs onto a few MyTouch's and get this issue randomly. Figured we could start a thread devoted to people willing to test what the issue could be and people willing to try and help come up with a solution or at least pinpoint the cause of the problem.
Please try to keep this thread to the point as always guys!
I can tell you right now that I had two brand new MyTouch's today and did the exact same procedure on both and put QTek's latest Hero ROM on them and one has the blurry screen and one does not. The SPL was NOT changed from the .2006 SPL, simply loaded the FlashRec.apk, loaded Amon Ra's Recovery image, and wiped and applied the Qtek Hero ROM.zip.
Also it only happens to me when loading a Hero ROM, Cyanogen or any Non Hero works fine without any blurriness on BOTH devices.
This has happened multiple times ALL with the exact same procedure. So as far as I can tell it isn't the SPL or the ROM.
Any ideas what we can do to these MyTouch's to try and narrow something down to what the difference is between the two?

I have the same problem with mine. I rooted using the gold card method. Immediately after rooting I flashed a 32B radio then threw haykuros SPL on it. I have no problem with any of cyanogens ROMs nor with eViL 1.9 & 2.0.
I have tried:
JACxHEROski v1.4 - no fuzzys
JACxHEROski v1.6r2 - fuzzys (I'm thinking it has something to do with the kernel.)
Qtek - fuzzys
ZeroXD - fuzzys
and obviously didn't work. I'm willing to test any ideas anyone has because I'm ready to throw this phone out the window

Kernel is a good place to start
Do you know what kernel versions the 4 ROMs you mention use or where we can find that info (short of bugging the crap out of the 3 developers lol)?

Hi, although I don't experience this problem, I noticed that my screen became blurry when it rotated (as it darkens it becomes blurry as well), when I was using Amon_RA's 1.2.1 ROM with his 1.0.1 kernel. I initially thought it was on purpose (it looked kinda nice), but after I flashed to his latest kernel, 1.1.0, the blurring on rotation no longer occurs. So I'd say there's a high chance it's the kernel...

That is most likely the "Animation" option being on or off.
Goto Settings > Sound and Display then turn ON Animation and see if that brings back you darkening/blurriness you are referring to.
If it does then it isn't the issue we are referring to, but thanks for the input! Appreciate any help/ideas we can get to solve this crap lol

Just tried that, no difference. So it may be the kernel... I've posted about it on Amon_RA's thread, maybe he can help with it more .

I have MT3G and have never experienced the blurry screen. I downgraded the SPL to 005 with the glod card method. I have C1.4 recovery. Have been runing Fatal1ty's HERO and now Zero's HERO...
I dont see how it would be the kernel. It is most likely something to do with the drivers. I wonder if there is more than one manufacturer for the touch screen or video chip or different versions.
What was the purchase date on the phones that get the blurry screen. I doubt that is software (unless somehting is enabled that is causing it to crash), it has to be hardware. There are too many people that dont get the problem running the same ROMs.

Well as far as from the threads I combed through I found this info. It seems as if:
eViL is using JAC-SKI's kernel.
ZeroXd is using JAC-SKI's also.
JACxHEROski 1.6 says its using Amon_Ra's kernel.
I know they cant all be using Amon_Ra's kernel. As far as version numbers I have no patience to figure it out now. I think I have to also agree with zambezy that it might be a hardware issue. It has to be. Same ROM's different hardware. I really should have kept my G1. The grass is always greener...

really stupid question but what sdcards are you guys using with blurry screens?

I got these from others (didn't purchase them myself) so not sure when or where they got them, can't really ask them either.
But I am noticing the problem more and more frequently than when the phone first came out, so maybe there is something to the purchase date idea.
But again, how could it JUST be hardware, if some people can get other ROMs to function properly, ya know? It seems so random, certain ROMs work and certain ones don't and the ones that work for one person don't for another so the ROMs themselves must play some part, right?

Yea and I found that the kernel is the same on the two phones I am using right now (one works and one doesn't)...
Not kernel safe to say I think...

I was having this same problem on jacxrom orginally. Currently i unrooted, did the one click root, used the modified spl and cyanogens recovery and flashed the new jacxrom and working like a chram now.

A brand new 8gb class 6 card

im just givin my 2cents in this and i think its the kernal i once used one of evil d's roms and gave mt the blur then he did another rom and fixed that so iunno but i feel its the kernal cuz wen i uploaded his new rom no blur just my 2cents

Not sure how much this adds BUT, I just unrooted my MT3G today and went the Goldcard method instead of One-Touch method. I first installed the ZeroXD with RAv1.2.1. This resulted in a blurry screen. I wiped and reformatted and tried my luck with eViL HeRo v2xx 32B and RAv1.2.1 and its running fine. First Hero ROM I have actually gotten to run without Blurring.

Could someone with a blurry screen and a 32A try to fastboot this kernel and see if the blur is fixed or not?
Code:
fastboot boot kernel.RAv1.1.0
The above command will not flash you a new kernel, it will just boot it.

I have tried this kernel with RAv1.2.1H ROM, and the screen still blurry.
Only RAv1.1.0H ROM have no blurry screen on my 32A.
Could you add Chinese Simplified to RAv1.1.0H ROM for me?

Thanks a lot!

I have the blury screen using any cyanogen mod ROMs...hero Roms are okay, just slow.
Used Amon's HBR to unroot, then flashed with the RAV1.2 recovery
Using red T-Mo mytouch (manf. 7/26)
About to replace with an entire new device.

Long shot.... : Could someone extract /system/lib/hw/lights.msm7k.so from RAv1.1.0 and push it to their blurry ROM and reboot?

My mytouch is same to this

Vodafone G2 Magic 32A always reboot or crash with any rom version above 1.5

Hi, everyone:
My phone is Vodafone G2 Magic 32A, a problem has confused me for a period. When i tried 1.6, the problem occurred.
With any 1.5 rom, the phone work well. But with 1.6, 2.0,2.1 rom, the phone always auto reboot or crashed, whether i use the phone or not, and i think the reason is not a specific operation or software. I have tested all the rom i can find, and change the spl and radio for several times, but the problem still have. And the same problem also confuse other people. We have a group to discuss how to solve the problem, we all think the reason is not the hardware error, because the 1.5 version always work fine.
Here is some infomation of my G2 phone

the problems is the same as yours.
Very sad about it.

me too!
but,I have changed my phone SPL2007 did not crash when the FLASH ROM.

which kind of rom did you flash?

The same problem i had, as lots of people.
Unless rom 1.5, other rom include 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1, it made the G2 crashed and auto reboot.
We have doubted about the recovery img, spl, radio, and so on. And someone have tested all of them, the problem have still being.
This is my G2 information:

Thanks.

Same problem!
HTC G2

, is anybody can help us?
Or teach us a way to find the really problem
for example: a program running in our Magic phone, when the phone crash or reboot, it will record some useful infomation.

I had a similar problem, my G2 freezed totally when used other roms.
In my case, it seemed to be the kernel. Using 2.6.27 worked fine.
so vanilla android 1.5 worked, and GyD and MyHero worked, but not others.
When I ran MyHero, I also noticed that my CPU didn't seemed to scale.
I ended up substiting my phone for another of the same model.
using "adb logcat" didnt give me any information, the error did never get logged.

Hey, got the. Same. Phone running on. Android. 2.1 for a while now
You have too flash the. 32b rom. And. Then. Before booting the 32a port. Witch. Provided. On the same site where you downloade the rom from
I had. The same problem,
Good luck,

hi, i have 32A spl1.33.2010 recovery 1.5.2H radio 3.20.22.17
i had similar problems with stuck at htc boot screen or crash part way through set up, i was wiping and partitioning my sd card 96/512/fat32.
what worked for me was upgrading my spl and recovery to the above,
do back up
wipe- data/factory; davlik-cache;sd ext partition,
no partitions on sd card,
flash rom then flash 32A port then reboot system
currently enjoying ahmgsk port of eugenes espresso/hero 2.1 rom
i hope this helps??

Hello, iv got similar problem, on 1.5 work fine too but on on ROMs above 1.5 reboot my phone when i i use my camera i can do 1 picture but when i want to delete it phone just reboot, on google goggles too. I try Cyanogen ROM, SuperD and 1 ROM on android 2.x version. Someone maybe have same problem and fixed it ? or someone know how to fix it and btw i wiped data i try to install same ROM several times too and nothing helped

I'm having big problems with my 32A and any 1.6 ROM. Never tried changing the SPL though, but I've tried anything else: partitioning, installing different ROMS, almost every combination of wipe/reset and so on.
How could changing the SPL affect stability of a ROM?

[Radio] Baseband 2.41.04.02.03 | For Fresh Rom 2.0b

Geek for Me is proud to release:
Updated Radio.img for Android 2.1 (radio version 2.41.04.02.03) for Fresh Rom 2.0b
Thanks to toast for the moral support, and for being the first to test this on his phone. Haha.
This has only been tested and confirmed as working on Fresh 2.0b
Flashing an updated radio will typically give you better battery life and better signal
This won't fix any current problems with the 2.x roms, but it will make your phone more effecient
Don't hold me responsible if you brick your phone
Don't flash this unless you have a CDMA Hero
I wouldn't flash this unless you are on Fresh 2.0b
In case you are wondering, our stock one is 1.04.01.09.21

So just a quick question, if I flash this and for some reason I want to restore back to a previous rom will this affect me from doing so?

howcome the version in your screenshot is 2.41.05.02.03 ?

its a typo mine matches the screen shot

Might this finally make my phone show its connected to rev. a? You know know that bug..

I am waiting on the answer about rolling back to 1.5 roms

@linkinx64 its a radio update. I dont see why i would be compatible....just saying.

LOL ... i get your point . I am just a little bit skeptical

well i flashed it, i got insurance.

Let us know if it makes a difference, please.

All the radios that flipz has just posted will work and not leave u with a brick. But... sometimes shot happens.

Ok flashing :-s
So far so good..someone in flipz website said that he is seeing a great improvement in battery life

Because the flashing process for a radio is a little different, I'm wondering if I went back to Fresh 1.1 if this radio will work or if I'll have to flash a different radio? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wiping data/flashing roms does NOT change the radio, and it's like a separate firmware entirely...?
I'm leery about flashing if I have to go back to 1.5 and not having a correct radio or not being able to downgrade.

I was thinking the same. but radio should not have anything to do with the ROM, besides I am staying 2.1 until the official release

I flashed without any issues. Just make sure you have some battery life left.. probably wouldn't want your phone dying in the middle of this.
Looks good so far to me. As I said, my battery life was already noticeably improved just by updating from 1.5 to this ROM, would be great if this increases it's longevity even more!
Thanks for all the work Flipz/Toast!

Seems to be working just fine on 1.5 Rom. I will update if I experience anything bad.
Great job Flipz!

G1 Crashes with every rom!

ok i im new at this i did the root... then installed cupcake 1.5
and everything was perfect... then a friend told me that super donut was the
best and fastest rom... so i downloaded it... since i installed it... my G1 just
crashes... with every rom i put in it crashes... i tried... cupcake 1.5, super donut with nexus 1.6, akirah 3.0 1.6...
and just crashes and crashes... it does self reboot and it crashes again...
im really pissed off its my new and only phone an i cant use it...
please please someone help me!!!!!!!!

Fixing that G1
There're some things you need to do. First I would recommend you should partition your sdcard, if you have RA-amon's recovery that should'nt be a problem. Alot of the roms out require updated radio and the danger SPL. If you came from cupcake then your radio and SPL are old. Maybe that's your problem you may not have the correct radio or SPL. Before you flash rom's always follow the instructions to the letter. Also alot of roms have automatic apps to sdcard, you need your sdcard partitioned for that. So first I would partition my sdcard, then update my radio and spl, then flash rom, and if you don't have RA-amon's recovery then get it.
