I rooted following raep video on youtube, parts 1 and two.
flashed with the rom and zip in the description.
did prop editor (already was set to 1).
now where's my sound?
You now need to install a Rom besides that downgraded one.

and what rom would be a good choice?
(if i install a new rom, does that wipe all the apps i have on currently? because that would suck)
You'll get varying opinions as to what ROM but I prefer CM7. To save your apps, install Titanium Backup(TB) and backup all of them, put your ROM of choice on the sd card, nandroid backup everything for any oops that may occur then wipe/factory reset and flash your rom. Once your booted, reinstall TB and use it to recover your apps from the backup created on the sd card.
I did this coming from my Aria to the Inspire and only a few didn't make the trip.
Tx
EDIT: be sure to sync all your contacts to Google before flashing so you can get them back should you choose CM7. It doesn't read ATT sims.
Some do some don't, depends what the devs decides/ puts in the updater script. I think its better to wipe everything anyway especially if your new to avoid any possible problems. You can always back up with titanium backup, then restore your apps when you install the new Rom, just only back up apps and their data, avoid anything with /system.

if you like the HTC sense feel. Flash Android revolution 3.2 or RC Mix hd. Both are great and stable.
Thanks for the help. You guys are amazing. I regret not pestering you earlier with more problems.
Okay...decided to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964841
Android Revo 3.2
it should have sound right?
do i flash radio first? or rom first?
and flash you mean boot in recovery mode and install from sd the zip, right?
I wil definitely make nandroid backups.
Do i wipe clean the current rom?
Thanks guys
know i sound like a total noob. i'll sound cool later on
Wait...I flashed with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040 yesterday.
Android Revolution HD...3.2...
is there a difference between that one and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964841?

if you still don't have sound, try flashing the telus kernel on top of the rom. i had no luck with the reaperex stock kernel
all i did was flash the android rev again...and it worked.
I'm on ATT in the US.
Thanks guys!

Hi guys,
I know there's been lots of cases such as this but I am frustrated and don't know what to do. Been searching for answers but couldn't find an exact answer pertaining to my problem.
I recently flashed Coredroid to my Inspire 4g and for some reason, every time the screen times out, my phone hot-restart's by itself.
Anyone know what's going on?

what did you have on there previously? did you full wipe? data/cache/dalvik? are you overclocking or undervolting?which version of coredroid? and what did you use to flash the rom?

I had LeeDroid V5.1.1.
I did full wipe/data/cache/dalvik. Not overclocking or undervolting. (Don't like to mess with them)
I'm currently using Coredroid v9.4
Used ClockworkMod for flashing.
anything installed aftermarket? like battery mods or boot screens or stuff from the kitchen?
possibly a corrupt install or download, but wanna get as much info before guessing starts

Nope. Everything is CoreDroid stock. Can I safe to assume that it's the Rom itself?

I recently just switched roms to Android Revolution and it works just fine. I redownloaded and reflashed CoreDroid and it's still doing the same thing. Could it be that there's something wrong with the Rom itself or the tweaks?
What radio are you using? Haven't really heard of radios causing crashes like this but it is possible.
Did you format your SD card too? Files from a previous OS on a SD card can cause this issue.
You mentioned that the ROM is all stock. Did you use any apps to restore apps and files?

Radio: 12.56.405.1.
Kernel 2.6.35.14
Yeah, I started making assumptions that it's probably either the radio or kernel but it just doesn't make sense. Everything works perfectly with Android Revolution.
No, I did not format my SD card. Is that recommended for every time I flash a new Rom? (sorry if I'm a bit inexperienced at these things)
Update:
Backed up my SD and reformated it. Still does it.
Rom is in every way, stock. The only app I used to restore my apps is the market, which is not 'google play' or w/e.

It is not needed to format SD card but it is to format System and data before a new rom flash. Mainy when one is build from an DHD port and the other is an Inspire based rom.
In the ARHD forum a while back someone advocated the strategy of never wiping data when switching between ROMs. He said he had never wiped data, and if he ever ran into problems with an app on a new ROM he just manually cleared that app's data and everything was fine.
He boasted essentially never having to reconfigure anything on his phone, and that he has successfully retained every app, setting, and text message that he's always had every time he has flashed a new ROM.
Is it possible that this is true?
I doubt it,
I didn't wipe once and ran into so much errors that I ended up re flashing whole rom..
Honestly it doesn't take much more then 30-35 min to setup a new rom specially if you buy the titanium backup app they even have a free version of it which also works great.

well on the ARHD thread it says a wipe is optional when coming from previous versions, but personally i've only flashed it once so i can't say something about it.. however, when i do upgrade from rom's i have just flashed over it (if im switching to different rom i do a wipe) and haven't had problems, unless it says a wipe is recommended when upgrading then i just do a full wipe, and then restore the data from previous backups within 4EXT, this restores all my apps and settings i had previously.. its worked for me so far
I had once do that because i forgot to wipe the data. I forgot the rom's name but i experienced no error then i switched to Smartdroid rom

Yeah but what's the point, there are many apps out there that can back up your data to restore afterwards.
I almost lost my phone!
I flashed a custom rom in my htc.... it was a total loss.. i don't know what happened..but as soon as i locked it....it never came back.... proximity sensor flashed red light all the time.....finally, had to open the back cover to make it work and boot into recovery....
I'm currently on ViperS 1.2.1, Ive had this issue for couple of Sense 4 roms already. Sometimes when a call comes, I dragged the accept button to the ring (or pull up the ring), it stops at the screen which have 2 rectangle buttons at the bottom (the screen which an incoming call shows when youre using your phone). After awhile the call will be missed. Anyone experiencing the same issue? It only happens sometimes though and I've been scolded by parents for missing their calls
Hi there, I use viper also. I don't have this issue. What I suggest is doing a new fresh download of viper and a fresh installation. Meaning wipe cash wipe dalvik, wipe data factory reset, then install the new fresh download and see if that solved the issue.I'm hoping it will because not everyone experiences this and perhaps a fresh download will help. You can also post this on viper development site where everyone is using the same Rom and see if others are also experiencing this. In the mean time try what I suggested and make sure you do your backup. Backup applications too for easier retrieval . I hope this helps, I think it might because like I said its not a issue all viper users have. Best of luck and I do hope this works. Remember use a new download incase the old download got compromised somehow causing this issue. Best wishes.

Hello, I got HTC Sensation XE, and I was thinking of upgrading my ROM to ViperS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671547
I got a few questions about upgrading my ROM..
1. If I upgrade to ViperS, and I am not happy with my new ROM, am I able to move back to the normal Android (I guess this is called ''flashing''..?)
2. Am I able to use every app from the Google play store?
3. I suppose this ViperS ROM will work with my Sensation XE as well..?
4. Does upgrading ROM harm/damage files, phone, or anything?
5. Am I going to have problems with Wi-fi after upgrading? (I've heard some guys have had problems with wifi)
EDIT: More questions:
1. What ''unlocks/mods'' do I need to do to upgrade ROM? By ''mods'' I mean things such as rooting and S-Off etc.
2. Which should I do first? Flash? Root? HTC Dev unlock?
3. Is Super Utility easiest way to root? It seems like it is the best one for it, since 90% happens with PC.
4. Last one, is flashing boot.img = ROM flashing..? Or is Installing .zip from recovery = ROM flashing? The Super Utility has ability to flash boot.img and installing .zip once I have HTC Dev unlocked.
Once again, thanks already.
(Yes I have googled and checked all over the forums, but I want to be 100% sure of everything, I don't want to destroy my quite new phone)
Thanks for help!

Hi,
Follow THIS GUIDE to the letter
1.Make a nandroid backup (in backup and restore in 4 EXT)
2.Should be able to,once you have rooted
3.yes
4.Should be OK
5.Follow the guide above.
I've ran viper for a long time before flashing to jelly bean and I never had any problems with Wi-Fi or tethering. I upgrade or flash a lot and never had any trouble luckily. Yes the play store will work perfectly with viper. I think everything will go fine. Are you s off? If not don't forget to flash boot image. If your s off all you need to do is wipe cash and wipe dalvik and wipe data factory reset. Do this in 4ext recovery then choose zip and install then reboot. You will be good to go.
Hope this answers your questions. Also for any applications you want to keep use titanium backup for that. Remember to do you're nandroid backup before you flash anything this way if you get into a pinch you can always restore your previous rom. This is very important and a good practice to have as a safe guard. Happy flashing. Best wishes
