Hi Guys,
I checked around but I couldn't find anything. I rooted my phone using the 1 click method provided here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096384 This part went swimmingly. I had my phone rooted and ready to go. I then downloaded CPU set and the program would not let me speed up the CPU past 1 Ghz. so then I downloaded this: kernal netarchy-nexus-1.3.0.2-bfs-2.3.3-cm7-compat-signed which supposedly allowed me to overclock my phone. I then placed the zip file into the root directory of my phone. I downloaded ROM manager and used that to install netarchy-nexus-1.3.0.2-bfs-2.3.3-cm7-compat-signed. When I did this the screen went black and the capacitive buttons at the bottom lit up. I can reach the recovery screen but that is it. There is no USB connectivity with the computer. Is there anyway to fix this or did I just turn my phone into a paper weight.
Thanks,
Cloo
Phone processors are a funny thing. Some can handle being overclocked higher than others. I am assuming that you went all the way up to 1400 and your CPU just gets too hot and everything locks up on you. You need to have a rooted Rom on the root of your sdcard and wipe everything from recovery and flash the Rom from recovery and start over. If you go with Netarchy's kernel again I suggest bumping the CPU up to 1200. If it can handle that bump it up to 1300 and obviously it can't handle 1400. You won't see much of a benefit from 1000-1300 for the most part. I keep mine on 1200 and it runs great. Anything higher for me and the phone starts to get hot and lag somewhat. Your phone is not a brick. If you can get to recover and/or bootloader there is always hope.
Also check out these threads to help you get back to 100% stock and start over.

Do you have a NS4G which is what the one- click is developed for or a Nexus S, which is what the Kernel you flashed is for? My guess is that you flashed a kernel which is not compatible with your rom.

You may not have waited long enough for the phone to boot. His bfs based kernels have a bug that most of the time the phone boots to a black screen captive light shows and no boot animation. It will boot but just takes time of you have right kernel. This is spoken about in his thread.
@housry I never got all the way through the switch to netarchy. Once I used ROM manager the screen blacked out upon reboot and nothing happens now. I managed to get the file SamsungSimpleDL onto my phone but when I try to install it aborts. Any thoughts?
@debh I have the NS4G
@Jerry the phone has been sitting with a black screen for about 10 minutes so I think I screwed something up
According to your op, you flashed a 2.3.3 cm7 kernel. Are you running stock 2.3.4? You need to flash the correct kernel for your rom.
Also, I just read your post above and you aren't supposed to flash the simple.zip on your phone. Download and extract the contents onto your computer and run the .exe from there with your phone connected.

Deb thanks for the quick reply, am I supposed to have my phone in download mode?
Phone is fixed!!! Thanks to all!
Quick question, im sorry, as I didn't know where to ask. Even checked threads and couldn't find an already posted answer. I have a ns4g, rooted, still on stock rom. Will I still get ota's from google when they push newer software than 2.3.4, which is what I run, and also get ota software bug fixes from goolge when they release it? I really hope so, as I want to stay current with the latest builds from google.

In order to correct the color you need a kernel that supports voodoo controls. Id have to say the washed out stock colors is what killed it for me at the moment.

I've noticed that the screen is a bit dimmer now =P but i think it's good for the batt? i dunno =]
istalled the ics ota 4.0.3 on my nexus s now recovery is not working anymore
what can i do
I had this problem with other ROMs as well besides the stock, but the Gallery seems to only want to display pictures from the Camera folder that were taken after that flash. Any photos from the past refuse to be catalogued by the Gallery. It's a bit annoying, but I'm glad at least the photo actually still exist in the file system. They just aren't being scanned by the Gallery properly.
Another one: I can't add custom ringtones (tried the /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones and /sdcard/Ringtones directories). Any ideas? Same issue with notification sounds.
I'm having problems on the internet using the stock browser. It takes a while for pages to load. When I scroll on long pages like message boards, part of the screen goes to a blank white, until everything catches up about 3 seconds later. It seems like the single core processor of the Nexus S isn't playing well with ICS. I kind of figured that this would be the case and regret doing the update.

USB to Windows 7 Laptop
I updated with OTA 4.0.3 this morning. I too am noticing that things are a little slower.
Also, my windows 7 laptop no longer recognises the phone. As a matter of fact, nothing happens at all. I turned on "USB Debugging" but that did not help. Thing is that yesterday I transferred files using the USB cable with no problem (when gingerbread was installed). This morning I update and the phone no longer shows up. It does charge though.
I haven't found a solution as yet. If anyone can help I'll be greatful.
I did a factory reset and things got a little better...my linpack test went from 6mflops to 15, but it should be mUch higher than that
I manually updated my dad's nexus s. Installed fine but it looks like the phone doesnt want to read the sim card.
I bricked my LG G2X can't get past boot screen. The little unboxing screen when you hard reset isn't unloading anything. Is there a way to get to recovery mode without a pc?

You've flashed the wrong radio, bro. Flash the full stock 2.3.6 for your device and await the OTA.
I need help figuring out how to fix some of these problems on my htc sensation 4g, its rooted with the android revolution hd, has andriod version 4.0.3, sense 3.6 and, running 6.3.0 software. My question is, if possible,how i can fix the wifi, camera app, and bluetooth, it says error when i try connecting bluetooth and wifi, camera app is just blank black. anyway to solve this, any type of feedback is welcome. just dont go too harsh on me im new to this and want my problems fixed.
Well, you could try reflashing the rom. Download Mike's Super Wipe from the ARHD thread and super wipe before installing the rom. Then install, and you should be set. I'm on ARHD 6.3.0 and everything works fine.
Yea tried that a while ago and nothing happened, everything stayed the same

You might need to install the right firmware package (different from the rom). Find the newest version from the link in the ARHD thread (i think 3.30) and install it. Also try reflashing the rom (don't forget to suprwipe) and if you use Titanium backup make sure to not restore system data, as it will cause problems when transferred among different roms.

Yea tried it this morning...no luck everything is still the same...camera has black screen and WiFi and Bluetooth have error over it.

You could try using an RUU to restore everything back to stock before reflashing. Also, use recovery to wipe (format) the partitions to ensure nothing is left when flashing. If everything works after running the RUU, then try reflashing (double check the guides to make sure you followed all the steps).
Don't forget to check all md5 checksums after downloading files, as occasionally they download incorrectly.

ok, im not gonna lie, even though im new to all this, im a little precautious of what im going to do to my phone.. so can you please post some steps on how you are suggesting i should try fixing it, i dont want to do things all out of order and end up bricking my phone. it would really help if you would post some steps on how to do this so, i aoppreciate it alot.
If you want to go the route of restoring to stock (which I recommend), first you'll need to download an RUU from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
Find the one that matches the carrier/region of your phone. If you are unsure, post your CID and I can help you choose the right one. You can find your CID by searching the CID checker app in the market.
Don't forget to make a backup in recovery and backup any important data from your phone. The RUU completely resets and clears all data from your phone (excluding SD card).
Once it is downloaded, simply run the exe, plug your phone into the computer, and follow the instructions it gives you (all you have to do now is press next several times).
After this your phone will be completely reverted to stock. If you still have problems (very unlikely) then you need to send it in for warranty as it is most likely a hardware problem. If everything works, you can either stay on stock or reflash whichever ROM you want.
If you have any questions about the process, please post them and I'll post more detailed instructions.

i downloaded it, now i just open it on the computer while my phones connected, right? Had a security check on it and it may harm the computer, is it safe to open it up on the computer?
i just opened it, got thru to the update, then it gave me an error, says update cannot be applied, does not compute with my phone, update rom is too large, please downlaod correct rom and try again.
First off, I know I just signed up. I've been creeping for the past month or so.
So here is the situation:
Summary: I have a hardware problem on a rooted/unlocked htc evo design and have to return it to stock settings to return but have lost usb connection and cannot re-establish.
Hboot:
Unlocked
S-On
1.26.0000
Software Info:
version: 2.3.4
htc sense: 3.0
software number: DesignerEvo-0.5
Longer Version:
I bump into a tech-head tweak everything buddy of mine and he says i just have to "flash the new ics" to my phone.
15 hours of banging the head against the wall later i realize im trying to unlock/root/su/flash as though i have the evo 4g not the evo DESIGN 4g which i actually have. (and which i shortly discovered has nothing customized for it) After that I was off and away-ish...
so here is what i have done (don't mock me for saying it wrong):
- Unlocked the phone via htc dev site (it won't let me post links yet)
- Flashed/Installed Custom Recovery Clockwork mod 5.0.2.7
- Flashed su-2.3.6.3
- Flashed Designer Evo 0.5 found at sdx-developers (wont let me link)
- then for kicks flashed a a vaelek rom that said it was compatible-ish for the evo design from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399351 it didnt see usb and other issues, so...
- then came back to Designer Evo
- installed setcpu to try to improve battery life...
Everything was fine for a couple of weeks (other than no ics and crappy battery life!)...
All of a sudden at random the phone powers off with battery reading charged. It will reboot, and within minutes power off again.
It does this in stock rom and custom.
If i keep it on charge it stays on.
If i remove it after charging, it holds power for a little while, but still powers off.
I thought conflict may have been between setcpu and a power savings app i had running and had forgotten to remove. removed, seemed to be okay then same.
I decided to come back on here figure out how to flash back to factory and unroot, and plugged it into computer (windows 7) via usb. "unknown device". reinstalled drivers. same problem. opened as ubuntu 11.x, still nothing. installed drivers nothing.
I dloaded a stock PH44img.zip w/ phone and put it on root and it would load at hboot, but do nothing after. may require s-off?
This is weird, I did a factory reset from recovery and on reboot it defaulted to the vaelek custom rom, so i went back to my oldest backup.
so... as i said, I think I have a hardware problem on a rooted/unlocked htc evo design and have to return it to stock settings to return but have lost usb connection and cannot re-establish.
Hang in there Vince...somebody is bound to point you in the right direction
I guessing people were off partying this weekend and have yet to respond?
ok this is crazy.... My design 4g is nowing doing the same thing.... Google brought me to this thread... anyone know anything?

Tried several roms . No luck..
tried to ruu via boot loader... It won't take. I may need to relock the boot loader.
It's been some time since I posted the problem. I searched around and didn't find any new information, so I am just hoping I missed something, like a possible thread that has a fix.
I have no WiFi, have gone through the book trying to fix it, to no avail. HOWEVER, I left the phone un used for about a month, battery had died long ago. A few days ago, I grabbed and and just decided to give it another shot and install revolution hd on it. For whatever reason, it installed successfully and the WiFi was working perfectly. So I updated the 4ext and had notice that a new version of HD had come out, so I decided to update it, and well, back to square 0, WiFi no longer works. So I tried to back pedal and repeated the steps leading up to the WiFi working, Super Wipe with smart flash enable, reboot, installed HD with no smart flash. But this time it did not work. Strange that it worked before though, I wonder if it being out of battery for so long had something to do with it.
did you try to flash the boot.img of your rom?
also if you are S-ON when flashing a rom always enable smartflash

I too had the wifi issues for quite some time. After updating my kernel it got fixed.
Probably you could do the following:
1. If your HBOOT is S-ON, make sure you follow the above two posts while flashing ROM
2. Ensure that the latest firmware is being used.
2. Try changing the kernel (mine is faux 009b4 now).
I am S-OFF, like I said, I've tried everything.
Just seem odd that out of nowhere it flashed correctly, I should of just left it at that, maybe if I leave the battery inside the phone drained for a while I can repeat the successful flash.

I faced with same issue. I use ARHD 6.7.1 and i have no problems with wi-fi , but when I try to install sense 4.0 roms for sensation, I always have wi- fi problem.I live in Almaty and I use Beeline for mobile carrier, My device is Revolutionary S-OFF. I live in Almaty and I use Beeline for mobile carrier, and also I have one sim card for Turkey, AVEA, when I use Beeline wi-fi doesn't work but when I use Avea wi-fi works completely. I tried wifix manager. But I can't find solution :/
Same thing happened to me when I updated, go to tools in 4ext before flashing and enable smart flash, I'm pretty sure this will help
