Hello there,
I have a serious problem. A while ago i flashed the energy rom to my device and it worked great. Now i can't use my phone anymore because it was a beta version? I've searched the forum, and i saw more of you got the same problem.
And i've read that it's possible to reinstall windows on my device but..
I typed serious import texts with notefolio and windows note creator program thing, i need it for my job,, Is there any way to retrieve those text files? It's not on my SD card, so it must be in the internal memory.. ****
My laptop makes a sound when i connect the USB cable, nut i can't see my touch pro in ''my computer'', it seems it won't connect...
Please please help me i'm desperate
thanks allready
Greatings,
Bouke
Mine just did the same thing and im about to leave the country. Have any suggested new builds?
Energy Rom Craps Out
My phone has also taken the time trial sleep, any help before I reflash. XDA should make it known that acts such as this do not happen again. I have donated to the development of this site, now wondering why & if I will do it again. Please help with a fix other than reflashing.
Moved as not ROM Development.

I dont think theres any way to undo this thing. just happend to me this morning. I was able to get a start menu, but all the apps I start, start under the message.
BUT, since I got enough reminders that this version I flashed was going down, I see not more than to just accept this failure .
So I held down the vol- button en pressed the reset button with my stylus, now I its flashing a new ROM.
Good luck
yea i tried that aswell, but everyting is beneeth the message.
And indeed it's a huge FAIL from the energy rom developer
I'm still hoping for some reactions that may help recovering my valuable text files..
If i flash a new rom it will erase all the data on the phone memory including text files notefolie etc. right?
Greatings
unfortunately yes. as far as i know there is no chance of getting them out of there. but you installed a custom and private made rom - that is to some extend alsways a risk and you should back up all the things you have on your phone when you do this.
good luck
i too want to get a few things out of the phone.
the stuff that still works is htc sense, and anything started directly out of sense, but not any shortcuts to programs.
you can access it by locking the phone, then unlocking it.
it will give me access to sense ui.
so i'm now pretty much looking for anything that's left to help me start a backup program.
any ideas on how to add a program as a service?
maybe with sd autostart.
does that still work?
all we need is to get the phone to run one lousy backup app.
maybe even automated.
we need ideas! ;-)

My phone locks on long end key.
If I press that and unlock again, the expiry message disappears for a while.
Sense and some Programs started directly from within work. Not the home screen links
However, I cannot start programs from links or access the internal memory.
Is there any way to read this while in "boot screen" mode?
If you can get some things to work, then pull your sim card out, and sync to a pc. If the syncing works, set the pc's date back a few days, and see if the rom starts working normally, then back up what you need and re-flash.
If you can't sync, just try to fix the date on your phone. A soft reset may be required.
Doesn't work as Sense crashes when I try to set the date.
Maybe it works for other people.
Sync does not work as that is blocked.
I tried changing the timezone immediately after it locked but that didn't work either.
So I suspect changing the date back wouldn't do you any good.
In other words: I don't see any way to recover any data from internal memory.
I'm going to do a hard reset now as I don't have time for this.
I conclude that whoever decided or implemented this timebomb as is, is a complete asshole and I hope he gets eaten by wolves in his sleep.
Disabling a product after a beta phase and/or forcing customers to update is perfectly fine, destroying their data in the process is unacceptable.

Gee, Office 2010 is a beta release, and came with a time-bomb. Maybe you should call microsoft and tell them to suck it since your custom rom didn't live up to your expectations.

I totally agree with that. I don't have time for it either, and i've already told my supervisor the good news..
Does anyone know a good working smooth ROM without the crappy time bomb thing?
Now, from what I can gather, this problem stems from a faulty or dirty Micro-USB port. I tried compressed air, but it did nothing for me.
I decided to do a complete unroot, S-ON, factory restore and call HTC to see if I could get it fixed. To my surprise, the problem vanished. Thinking I had lucked out and that fixed it, I re-rooted the phone and the problem still didn't reappear.
Then, thinking I would start small, I flashed a Sense kernel. As soon as I rebooted it went straight to Car Home and began answering in speakerphone. For laughs I went ahead and flashed MIUI then CM7, both of which exhibited the same behavior.
After all of this, I got to wondering just why the stock ROM and kernel worked but nothing third party would. Then it hit me that all the 3rd party stuff I had been using were DHD ports, and not based off the Inspire. I downloaded and flashed ClearDroid, which has an Inspire base, and the problem is once again dormant.
The only sense I can make from it is that HTC has implemented some kind of fix for shoddy USB ports in the Inspire kernel.
So now here's the question: Does anybody know anything about this, and would it be possible to implement said fix in, say, and AOSP kernel?
When you flash a Rom there is a folder created called data on the root of your phone. This contains many files that control various settings on your phone. There is a file in particular where cardock settings get synced in data/data/Com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db. When you sign in with your google account some of these settings get restored to the mode in which you had it in when you wiped your phone. This is what causes some people to think that parts of their old Rom are bugging out their phone, I guess in a way it is, but its googles fault. The car dock is getting resynced to being on even though you haven't done anything. In order to fix it you must use SQL editor to open the database and look for the carmode or dock settings and set them back to 0. Once you do this it the next time the phone autosyncs it will save your newer settings.
Also Im pretty sure when your rooted this setting will take effect as to where a nonrooted phone doesn't allow the permission to execute the command.

I'll try that, but I can completely wipe my phone (cache, system, data, d-cache), flash CM 7.1.0, and without even logging into my Google account it happens.
After searching it seems this is a common problem with the phone. Some people where able to fix it and some where not. Even when it does go away for a while it will re emerge and get worse.
Some of the fixes are
1. turning airplane mode on for 10 min and then shutting it off
2. Changing chargers(dont ask me)
3. Blowing out port which you said you tried.
I am still not 100% its not some internal issue but why even bother if the hardware is malfunctioning.
I would start the warranty process and get it replaced.
Backing up to the beginning.....Are you flashing ROMs or kernels? Seems to me you are flashing ROMs but keep using the word kernel.
Why not just remove the car dock app from the ROM or use Titanium Backup to freeze it?

Both.
With the stock ROM and kernel, everything is fine. With the stock ROM and a DHD-based kernel it happens. With any AOSP ROM it happens.
Removing the Car Dock app keeps it from launching, but the phone still defaults to speakerphone for all calls (incoming and outgoing).

The problem about warrantying it is when it's in a stock state, it works fine.
I've never dealt with HTC, but I can't exactly see it going over well if I call up and say "My phone acts funky when I run CyanogenMod".
The airplane mode fix is something I haven't heard before. I guess I'll give it a go.
Noticed you guys didn't have a support channel 24/7 in case people have issues with their device. I've set this up and granted I can't stay awake 24/7 I would like to see this community more involved. The more support you have for the community the more support for the phone So come in, chat, ask questions, its all up to you!

Cool idea. Thanks.

Thank you for this !
This is a good idea.
I tried to connect last night through the device, but it wasn't working out too well.
Is there a recommended way to connect through the phone? Maybe an app that works through the T-Mo network?
Also - Since this has the potential to let people work things out much more quicly/easily... Can I request that if problems get solved or new information is discovered and there are no threads about it, can one be made after the fact?
Anyone who wasn't in the irc chatroom won't have access to that fix otherwise.

i signed in with the app AndroidIRC, no problem. seems to work better on wifi, but i've used it on the mobile network in the past. i believe the app is a couple bucks in the market.
it would make sense to me to post any discoveries found in the channel into these forums
edit: can't seem to connect to irc.freenode.net via the app while connected to the mobile network only. it keeps saying something about needing to identify via SASL to use this server.

On a quick search, that's the only one with SASL support, which is where my problem was. When I get the chance to get market apps again it's on my buy list.
I tried to log in through the web page, but on the mobile it was no good on mobile network - I imagine it would be fine on the device through wifi and i'll try sometime. I have no trouble logging in through the webpage on a computer on a wifi network.
The last time I used IRC, mIRC was pretty new, so was my first brush with it over cellular networks. If you had no issues using that app then that'll probably be my answer for out and about.

That would be fantastic - probably the best way. Over time we can compile a pretty thorough FAQ, if people use it, and the easy web login makes that more likely.

hboot and recovery
I had my phone rooted for months (I think I did it properly using the method from unLocker.com, although when the hboot would load it would say no image found) Then all I would do is run recovery (clockwork I believe) to flash new ROMs... but now I am trying to upgrade to pyr-o-ice 1.1.3 from 1.1.2 and everytime I try to run recovery, it just brings me back to the hBoot. I think I messed things up when I downloaded the Clockwork app from the market and let it do it's "thing". I think it changed my hboot from 1.44.00something to 1.44.1107 (that may be the problem). I have been trying for hours to re-root using the method from unlocker but it is not working. Can anyone help me get recovery working again to flash new ROMs? p.s. Sorry if a solution is already given somewhere, I have looked for a while and haven't found it.

What's your exact HBOOT version number?
my hboot is 1.44.1107
oh wow! I just tried using the using the clockworkmod ROM manager app from the market and it actually worked this time to flash pyr-o-ice 1.1.3_2. I don't know why it didn't work the several times that I tried this before. I guess I will just use this app to go into recovery and flash ROM in the future (kind of better anyways because I don't need to do a battery pull now everytime to go into hboot) apparently this app works to flash stuff. I haven't yet tried to go into Recovery the old way and I guess I don't need to worry about it any more.
It's not necessary to do a battery pull to get into recovery...
...power off (not hibernate, turn that fastboot off in settings!) and wait for it to turn completely off.
...hold the 'Volume Down' button, and then press and release the 'Power' button (maybe 2 or 3 times if necessary while holding volume down...)
When you see the Hboot screen release volume down...
Let it load and settle for a minute, then choose 'recovery' from the menu...
...and that's it.
Not sure where you had to do a battery pull, unless you didn't have 'fastboot' turned off from in the ROM settings menu?
Go to your app drawer, then open the 'Settings' apk...
...find 'Power' in the list and tap it...
...scroll to the bottom and un-check the 'Fastboot' option.
The 'Fastboot' option in the settings -> power menu is a deep-sleep hibernation mode that turns almost everything off, but leaves the tiniest bit of power to one chip so it can wake everything up.
When it's ' off ' in HTC Fastboot mode, pressing the power button wakes the device up skipping a lot of things like hboot and so on to get your device from ' off ' to working in just a few seconds, instead of the minutes a normal boot takes.
Anyways, glad you found a way to get it all working!
That is probably why I would have to do a battery pull (fastboot was never turned off to my knowledge). One problem though... I still can't find the option "power" in the settings menu to actually turn off fastboot. I am running pyr-o-ice 1.1.3_2 right now (that I was able to flash using the ROM Manager app made by Clockworkmod) When I select Settings; it brings me into a series listed as the following:
WIRELESS & NETWORKS... Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Data Usage, More DEVICE... Sound, Display, Storage, Battery, Apps
EXTRA SETTINGS... Toggles, Clock, Battery Text, Custom carrier label
PERSONAL... Accounts and sync, Location services, Security, Language & input, Backup & reset
SYSTEM... Date & time, Accessibility, Developer options, About phone.
I couldn't find the fastboot setting anywhere in these. Also, I think something is wrong with the Recovery that I was using before ever since my Hboot changed to the 1.44.1107 it is now, because when I am in hboot and try to go into Recovery, it just loops back to Hboot. Luckily that ROM Manager App was able to flash the ROM (pyr-o-ice 1.1.3_2) but I don't know if I would recommend that to anyone else to use as I think when I installed ROM Manager and ran some of it's features, that it probably what changed my HBoot version (and subsequently messed up my ability to use recovery straight from hboot). I guess I am OK though since I can at least flash ROMs, but I am limited from some of the other features the old recovery had to offer.
OK! So, so, sorry... I just went and did a power down and tried to go into hboot (volume down and power buttons) w/out battery pull and it DID go into hboot. I guess fastboot is turned off (even I couldn't find it anywhere in settings still). Sorry for confusing anybody (I'm a little confused myself) And now when I chose RECOVERY, it did work fine ( I have no idea what happened). I guess I just always assumed I needed to do a battery pull since that is what I had to do way back when I first rooted my phone and started flashing ROMs.
I still can't really get my USB to recognize on my computer though with this pyr-o-ice desense 1.1.3_2 (I got the Dual Mount SD app from the market but am having "weirdness"... when I plug in the USB to the phone and PC, I hear the "bloop bloop" sound but no icon pops up in the "devices with removable storage" catagory of my computer. I can only get it to recognize as a drive by selecting the "Power On Auto Mount" feature in Dual Mount SD app and then doing a power off and back on w/ the phone plugged in the whole time via USB to PC... and then that is even hit or miss. sometimes it comes up as a drive and sometimes it doesn't.) I would really, really love to get my phone to recognized as a drive just by plugging it in w/out having to do a power off and back on since I love taking pictures with the phone and getting them to PC asap. If anyone knows any tricks to help me out that would be super cool. And P.S.: sorry I'm such a noob, I am trying really hard and am a bit intimidated by complete lack of knowledge about most of this stuff.

Still no people
So...here's the thing. Supposedly it's impossible to 100% brick an i500. Well I believe I managed it. If not, I would REALLY like to fix it. I use it just for media stuff these days, like reading and music. So...here's what I did. I know it was stupid.
1. Rooted my Samsung Fascinate i500 from Ntelos.
2. Got a bunch of replacement apps, like Go Launcher EX, and pretty much every other thing the GO team came up with.
3. Used Titanium Backup to delete system apps(like the launcher, basic internet, and some other stuff) instead of freezing them. I am an uber noob. It shows, yes?
This was all some time ago, when it was actually connected to a plan and used as a phone. It still worked...most of the time. It would derp and freeze up occasionally, but otherwise worked fine.
4. At some point a few days ago I somehow uninstalled something that caused the wifi to cycle itself back on no matter what I did (including turning on airplane mode, it just turned airplane mode off and cycled the wifi back on) causing battery drain, since it's constantly searching for SVC. So since I couldn't figure out what happened to cause this, I decided it was time to finally get a custom ROM. I used ROM Manager to try and flash a custom rom I cooked in this online kitcheny thing.
It didn't work. Anyway, I went into the recovery and cleared the cache thingies, hoping it would help.
Instead, I no longer have a launcher. Since the default launcher was gone, apparently it won't let me use my Go Launcher EX anymore, or even bring up the menu to set it as a default.
I went through the steps to flash a new ROM or the original I found using ODIN3 and the download screen. I can get to the download screen fine...but ODIN3 won't recognize my phone. At all. Ever. I do have the right drivers, if I'm not mistaken.
Well...at this point, I don't know what the hell to do. I don't have the money for a new one, or I'd get it and start over and do it right this time.
Halp?
This problem is solved.
So...yeah. I forgot I had to use the original cable. My bad. I fixed it. Hooray!
I have the charge running FP5 firmware and the Tweaked ROM 3.0.
I've run into a situation where the phone has become rather laggy and buggy.
Example: Click the notification for voicemail...wait 30 seconds and phone dials. or Phone battery dies. I plug it in and it charges up to 30%, then starts getting very laggy and non responsive. I reboot and am told battery power is really 50% and phone is good to go.
I'm used to rebooting the phone at least once a day or more. I'm looking for a way to correct the problems and bring the phone back to how it was when I last upgraded and and loaded the ROM... too bad I didn't backup the phone at that point. Anyways...I know that if I reload the firmware and apply the ROM, everything will work correctly again but I'll spend hours tweaking the settings to add custom ringtones and photos to contacts.
Is there some cache or data I can clear to fix this without clearing everything and starting over?
Mike
P.S. I'm keeping this phone until Verizon allows me to upgrade and keep unlimited data or the phone dies and I have to get another.

You mean Tweaked 3.2, right... if not first upgrade to the 3.2 version of the ROM... it is the current FP5 option.
There is a build.prop thing commented out at the bottom that should force launcher into memory (supposed to help with screen redraw issues, but might also help with general responsiveness). I think you could do it from root explorer, just edit the file, scrool down, read comments, when you find one that sounds like what I said just remove the "#" from the line below it.
re-installing tweaked might really help...
but you might try going into CWM and wiping cache only... NOT data & cache... JUST CACHE... that helped me when i had "funky" things going on on a different device/ROM worth a try.
Finally, you should always take a CWM backup, Nandroid, before poking around....
Also... check swappa for relatively cheap phones with no ties to VZW contract it is where i picked up the GN2 (if it is rooted and you don't want to show it off at the corp store, just call customer support say you are too busy store hours. They will send you the micro/mini SIM via FedEx.
Of course take what I say with a grain of salt... I am just a crazy guy from the internet
(oh great XDA... please correct me if I've misspoken)
Thanks for the info. I never did load Tweaked 3.2. I will put that on the back burner as I don't want to reload all the settings. Maybe I can load it without wiping data. Do you know? For now I will try wiping the cache and see if the phone improves.
Someday I'm gonna have to explore the latest OTA and a new ROM. I'm getting tired of ignoring the update message. either that or learn how to shut the message down. any recommendations on a ROM for the new OTA?

I will never tell someone "don't say it click the button"... However, I'm like pavlov's dog clicking the button is appreciated...
Not sure about a dirty flash... Never tried it. I got turned on to Root and Such well after FP5 and Tweaked 3.2 came out.
If you give it a go... You could retain much via Titanium Backup. Or just send a CWM Backup/Nandroid on the SD Card before playing around.
Either way...
There has to be a proper stop notification how to thread around here somewhere!
Cliffs Notes:
From a Root Friendly File Explorer (Like Root Explorer HERE, it is worth the $)
edit a line in "/system/build.prop"
Find
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I510/SCH-I510:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/FP5:user/release-keys
replace the FP5 with FP8 so it reads:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I510/SCH-I510:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/FP8:user/release-keys
NOTE: BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO HOSE THE PERMISSIONS (If I recall some of the other "freebie" root file explorers break the permissions... Best to find that a real thread with all the details if you are not 100% confident.)
Also feel free to double check my facts... I'm just a crazy guy from the internet!
Good luck!

PS. While poking around at the tweaktools back-end, I noticed there were some mods that specifically addressed lag (I have little to no experience with them though... Just FYI...

Thanks for the info. I never did load Tweaked 3.2. I will put that on the back burner as I don't want to reload all the settings. Maybe I can load it without wiping data. Do you know? For now I will try wiping the cache and see if the phone improves.
Someday I'm gonna have to explore the latest OTA and a new ROM. I'm getting tired of ignoring the update message. either that or learn how to shut the message down. any recommendations on a ROM for the new OTA?

yes, you can flash tweak 3.2 over 3.0 without wiping data. not sure if it comes with the updated kernel, but I would certainly do that as well.
in terms of lag, try the crossbreeder mod on XDA - worked for my charge!
