Looks like your only option is to wipe and reflash whatever rom it is youre using... However, you did post this in the wrong section, and some people tend to get anal about such things...
Almost sounds like you were using an Evervolv rom [happened to me when I was on it.] But what rom are you using? I suggest doing a clean wipe and installing the latest google apps.

That format file essentially does the same thing as wiping through recovery.

I don't think it does. I don't think normal wiping in recovery wipes the system folder. That's what I read once. Might not be true, but I don't see it say "WIPING SYSTEM..." in Amon RA when I tell it to format. It does data, cache, and sd .secure, I think, but not system.
Edit 1: Oh, and I'm one of those people who are anal about where you post things. Have you never been to a forum before? CLEARLY there is a questions and answers sub-form under the Supersonic main forum section.
Edit 2: I just realized who I responded to. Barnacles, I'm guessing you know better than I do since you actually helped develop the ONLY stock Gingerbread ROM for the EVO that's out right now.
So I downloaded the heinz 57 rom with the steel blue theme. Everything seems to be working, except the home screen transition effects. Like the book flip. I tried flashing a different theme and reflashing the rom. Any ideas?

I noticed that they didn't work when I was using a live wallpaper. When I switched back to a regular one, they worked fine for me.

If you are trying to use the LED as a flashlight try instant heart rate from the market. can't be left on while you multi task and probably is a huge batt drain but works great for both purposes...2ยข

I'm having no issues with my flashlight app. I use Tiny Flashlight
The only issues ive had with Heinz57 is that I cant get the clock on the status bar to change any color but black. And sometimes the market does some weird things, and force closes. So I am having trouble downloading apps/games.
EDIT
I fixed the color issue by restarting my phone after I changed the settings. That worked.
Im still having trouble with the market though. I will try to reflash my phone and see what happens.
Is anyone else having that issue on Heinz57?
my setup
EC10 with root and recovery
CWM 2.5
Heinz57 v4.40.11
OTB Reloaded v 1.3
so far 0 problems whatsoever and its faster than hell. if you dont match this setup. try it. its been literally flawless for me.
i cant get Heinz57 to install. i got the latest update version (5/3/11) and i also completely wiped my phone all the way back to stock (Froyo 2.2) and i have followed directions to a T. but my problem is when i select the zip file to install the ROM from the red recovery it gets to "Installing Update..." and just freezes. the loading bar does nothing and the phone is useless. any suggestions?

My guess is that you aren't waiting long enough. This Rom takes a little longer than most to install.
how long should i be waiting? i can run the EC10 PnP v0.3 ROM with no problems but when i want to switch to ANYTHING else it just stops when it gets to the "Installing Update..." step. it even still has the lines in the loading bar instead of being solid with the download progress. AHHHH! it's driving me crazy! i've been going at it for two days solid now with no luck (although i'm only a noob).
try using the 4/30/11 or wahtever it is. thats what im using and its perfect. the only changes in the new version is he fixed a bug with the MIUI lockscreen i beleive. its basically identical.

You should make sure you're using the latest version of cwm located below, let us know if you still have the issue. I typically flash the .tar in odin (it will replace the existing blue stock recovery so that you don't have to apply any update.zip to get into CWM)

For heinz 57, you require to already have EC10 and the PnP already installed.
So the order i did things in was...
1. EC10 Root and Recovery flashed using odin
2. installed update.zip from blue CWM to get red CWM, , then cwm-recovery-all.zip to keep it red on boot (i think i rebooted once here to make sure i got to red right away alright - no problems)
3. installed mesmerize ec10 .5 pick n pack, from red CWM,
4. then Heinz_57.Hybrid_v4_30_11_OTB.zip installed from cwm red.
hope this helps - i had problems installing heinz 57 until i ready very carefully.
addition: you only need EC10 for heinz, but i could not get just the EC10 root and recovery to work with heinz, so i tried installing the PnP ater the Root and recovery and then heinz installed fine no problems. I am, however having problems with the gps. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067693 for details if you can help - thanks).

er...not exactly.
I've flashed this rom a dozen times, and every kernel available. It works just fine.
Try This.
1: Do a stock (non-rooted) odin flash.
2: Boot your phone, do any account setup, blah blah.
3: Turn Phone off, flash custom recovery-all-fixed
4: Reboot, let fully boot, then turn off, reboot to custom recovery.
5: Install heinz 5/3 (it comes with a kernel, and it's rooted) from zip on sdcard (not update.zip)
6: Reboot, let fully boot, then turn off.
7: Boot to recovery, wipe dalvik and data and then flash your theme.
8: Enjoy.
Make sure you read all the info provided by the devs on their respective threads. If you're applying a ported theme, then read the original thread for that theme.
And remember kids...if you don't know what you're doing, and you have trouble following clearly outlined instructions, and don't check in chat for answers, fail to read guides and tutorials sticked, or are just downright simple...you probably have no business messing with your phone.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Read, alot, ask lots of questions in the right places if you can't find the answers you need from reading. Then post a thread.
And tell 'em J sent ya!

This is something with mrhome. I will add to my op post about it. I didn't know that Livewallpaper work with the transitions.
I seem to be stuck in a loop after flashing Serendipity VII Infuse.
My infuse is at the home screen showing the clock, unlock slider and volume slider. Screens says (no Service). Top of screen is running a media scanner.
As soon as it finishes scanning the media, the screen goes blank, shows the Serendipity boot screen w/progress bar, then back to the home screen with the two sliders.
It does not reboot all the way to when it says Samsung.
I've reset and cleared the cache in the red cmw.
Any ideas?
same thing here.
You wouldn't happen to have a SIM password?
mine worked fine for a few hours. Then I rebooted.

not to hijack this thread, but if i'm coming from froyo, do i need to delete my recovery file before flashing your rom?
mine began after I installed a themed battery pack. sys wipe and re-install and all is well.
Car Dock Issues
So I flashed Serendipity VII yesterday from Infused V1, and let me start by saying it's awesome.
I am having an issue with the car dock, though. It actually worked fine the first time I used it, but now the sound won't redirect to the dock. It's not a huge deal because I can just plug the cable in directly to the headphone jack, but one of the great things about the car dock was that I didn't have to deal with the wires. Anyone have any ideas?
Where do we download it from? I see it in dev section but no links or instructions.

Go to http://serendipityinfuse.weebly.com/ and click download at the top. Took me some time to figure it out too.
I am currently running Infused 1.6 with the Infusion 2.0 Core A kernel. I would like to move to the GB release of Serendipity VII, do I have to go back to stock or can I just flash the download through red CWM from the serendipityinfuse website over my current build and do a full wipe?
Will the download also include the kernel it needs to run?
I'm have seen some mixed information on the actual process for installation coming from custom roms and kernels. This is the first time I am going to be updating to GB.

Backup your apps with TiBu, download Serendipity VII to sdcard, go to Red CWM, Full wipe, flash Serendipity VII, reboot, restore your apps only (NO SYSTEM DATA), Enjoy!
It really is an awesome ROM! I flashed it yesterday and love it!

Don't feel like an idiot, we're all learning over here in Q&A.
Turn the phone off and then hold the VOL + and - keys and the power key at the same time for about 10 seconds then release.
If you are not getting Red CWM then it may be because you do not have Voodoo Lagfix installed. Is your phone stock, have you ever installed any other ROMs? Mine started giving me red CWM after I installed the Infused 1.6 ROM.
Hopefully we can get some more advanced users in here to lend a hand, I would like to learn more about this process also.
im in here let me know whatcha need !
i used to have infused 2.1....or 2. something and i wanted serendipity. so i tried to install and nothing would happen. so i went back to stock and all kind of problems started. but im gonna give this a shot
---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------
ok i held the keys and it sent me to a blue screen. if i press reinstall packages it then sends me to the green cwm screen. could someone let me know whats going on lol
i went back to stock using the unbrick method and now i cant download anything from the market. i hit install and the download bar pops up for a second and then dissappears. cant even install apps that i had before
does anyone know if you can restore all missing apps and data with serendipity. i somehow got it to flash and was jw. thanks

Contacts > Right Click > Accounts > Choose gmail account > Uncheck sync contacts and resync. Recommended to do on strong connection. This should add them all back. Give it a few minutes to resync. Everytime that I flash a new ROM only 6 of my contacts are there and sometimes I have to do this before they will all show back up.
For some reason that only brings back one of them. I'm not sure what to do now.

Set it near a router and give it a few. Toggle again. And if that doesn't work reboot.
I've got good wifi in my house (55Mb/s up, 10Mb/s down). It completely re-syncs but no luck. I'll try rebooting.
If that doesn't work I'll go back to a stock rooted rom and get them back that way.

You don't need to go back to stock rooted. I would recommend Mitra and Caty's rom. They are excellent and I have had no problems with getting the contacts on either of them. Never liked MIUI.... at all. Also, when you do get them I THINK that it helps if it is backed up in TiBu or something similar. Not positive though..
Don't I have to go back to stock to flash one of those roms since MIUI has a weird kernel and the blue cwm recovery menu?
I like the customization allowed by MIUI, that's why I prefer it.

I've been flashing for four months now. I wipe/factory resets, wipe dalvik and fix permissions. Works practically everytime. So now.. just use red cwm. People tend to see problems when they flash with red or blue. I'm dumbing this down a bit not for you but hopefully a new comer will read this and not ask questions about it.
I did odin back to stock once, but that was more for just peace of mind than anything. Don't think that it was necessary. I was testing to see if it would fix a weird thing with my dalvik cache.. but nothing came of it.

Doesn't going to the red cwm **** with miui since you have to flash different kernels?
Either way, she's just copying the contacts out of my phone and recovering the lost ones some other way.

Your correct, its non voodoo (hence the blue CWM, red means voodoo lagfix enabled kernel). You can flash from red however, it just requires flashing CM7/MIUI twice, one to get blue recovery and after a batt pull, one to boot into the rom basically. So going back from CM7/MIUI you need to flash a voodoo enabled kernel to get back red CWM, then flash Caty, MitRa etc...
Back to your question though, you can sync contacts with other accounts. (facebook for example) You can also use the contacts on your SIM card and export them to the external SD and recover them that way. Google is the easiest way but sometimes it doesn't work.
Happy flashing and good luck!

Lol ya don't blame you and your best bet if Google doesn't work, is exporting SIM contacts. The first time I flashed MIUI, back when Mikey ported it, I had to export them to the external and it worked like a charm. (backed them up w/ google after that lol)
That's what I did with mine, I just assumed she did too. My mistake.
Look...dang y'all...very easy fix....flash one of the stock Roms....or mine or numas...whatever...when your contact come back go to contacts and hit menu>import/export/>import to sdcard....and back all contacts to sdcard....flash miui and then go to contacts>import/export>export from sdcard(maybe I haven't got them backward) and restore them that way....simple...wow

Was having some troubles with my phone so I decided to do a factory reset, wiped everything and flashed Synergy 1.3 and Imo Leankernel. I got everything restored with TB and seemed to be going fine. Then I figured out the home button wasn't working. I turned off the screen and tried turning it on using the home button and it works fine, but once I get onto my home screen or in an app it absolutely won't work. I tried long pressing it to see if it will bring up the recent apps--it doesn't. I have no idea where to go from here. I'm new to flashing and I don't know what I could have done to make this happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have the unlocked icon so I don't think I will be able to get Verizon to replace it. Thanks in advance.

first step would be to download the stock odin image from samsung-updates.com and flash that. See if the button works. If it doesn't work, somehow you borked your phone in the wierdest way but hey who knows.
Also flashing this will take away the locked icon.
Other option would be to flash a different rom, like beanstown, or mine, and see what happens. If it doesn't do it there, I would reflash synergy, but after verifying the md5.
Also are you using any sort of launcher (apex, nova, go, etc.), I noticed my home button was a little finicky with them?

I was using Apex at the time, but I also tried Nova and TW to no avail. It was the weirdest thing...so I ended up flashing ParanoidAndroid Hybrid Jellybean ROM and it is working out great for me so far. No issues with the home button, and even if it does happen again, I have the on-screen keys to save me
Alright so I was running ParanoidAndroid for a little bit, but I saw that the new Synergy 1.4 was released. I figured with a clean wipe and install everything would be back to normal. Installed fine, restored everything fine, rebooted just so everything would be working properly and then the problem is back again. Is there any way it would be something that I am restoring onto my phone? I still just have no idea...I downloaded a temp virtual home button so it still functions, but I'm at a loss here. Same issue as last time. My home key will turn on the screen, but then is useless after that.
