Hi all
my sensation was running on senseay rom and the XE 1.5ghz stock kernel, i decided to go back to the sensation 1.2 stock kernel.
after i flashed the room and restored the data only, the device turns on but restarting the splash screen again and again.
without restoring the data, device starts and functions normally, and when i restored the whole back up and it worked just fine.
whats the problem and how can i fix it?
appreciate your help!
The data partition is normally incompatible between one ROM and another, unless they are very similar (eg a minor upgrade or bugfix to an existing ROM version).
You can use something like titanium to backup user apps and data, but you can't restore system data to a completely different ROM without causing problems.
you are right, but i didn't switch roms, i reflashed the same one.
i just wanted to go back to the stock kernel.

Restore your backup and boot.
Than reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik cache and cache partition and flash stock kernel.
If you don't have stock kernel you can flash a custom kernel (faux or bricked) and turn the clockspeed down to 1.2.
Or maybe you find stock here on XDA.

Sorry - I misread.
You should be able to simply flash the kernel without needing to reflash the rom or restore any data.
Go into recovery, clear cache and dalvik cache, then flash the kernel. Reboot and all should be well.

I have always liked making changes to my phone and after seeing the latest ICS released I thought why not... as we were being told it was backwards compatible
So I updated my firmware and played about in ICS for a bit but then decided it's not ready for me yet and I rolled back to my backup of HyperSensation
When it finished restoring I was greeted by the white HTC screen and that's all, it will now no longer boot my backup... "I have restored from this backup many times"
I then downloaded Android Revolution 3.6.11 and installed and it booted ok but I always have a problem with the kernel so flushed bricked as I always do and it stopped booting again with the HTC screen, I then re-flashed faux123 kernel on it again, and again it would not boot... stuck at the HTC screen
The firmware update seems to have messed up the ability to change kernels at all.. or roll back to an old backup, but new installs worked ok as long as i didn't change the kernel..
I then restored the H3G Ruu exe to my phone and that loaded ok and booted fine, I then tried to restore my backup that uses bricked 1.6 kernel and this time it booted
I then tried to re-flash the kernel and again I'm greeted by the HTC screen and it never loads
This firmware update has changed my phone and not for the good... even restoring the Ruu didn't fix it completely...
Anyone else have a similar problem with the new firmware

The partition layout for the 3.12.401.2/102 firmware is different, as explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
Indeed, but then restoring to an older Ruu should remove the changes right?
As the Ruu has the firmware in the update?

That's the problem as the changes seem to stay even after I returned it to the stock Ruu

Yep I'm thinking the same thing too
Hboot 1.17.0011
radio 10.43a.9007.00p_10.51.9007.27.m3
but all I know now is I'm unable to change kernels anymore or even reflash the same kernel over the top of itself..
What's your recovery?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App
I can see no reason why your kernel updates are failing. Check your downloads to have the correct md5 and if you still have issues try an alternate recovery(which I highly doubt to be a problem but anyway). Also check that you are downloading kernels compatible with your Rom, otherwise they won't work. Another tip when flashing kernels is to wipe cache after flashing. Good luck

After installing a stock RUU you need to install Superuser to root the stock ROM, and update the binary and busybox. Then you can flash kernels.

I had a similar problem with mine;I restored GB 2.3.5 backup, reflashed original ROM on top, and booted up fine. After it booted just fine I did a reboot and it wouldn't go past the first HTC screen. So, I flashed my 1.45 firmware (inc. hboot 1.18 & Clockwork 5.0.2) and still stuck at the same spot.
Finally, I flashed back the firmware from ICS 3.12, reflashed my 2.3.5 ROM, wiped cache & dalvic, fixed permissions, and rebooted... Strange enough, I booted to the setup screen, which I went through that to find my data gone. SO, I super-wiped and restored my backup, which booted & rebooted fine, and proceeded to reflash the original ROM again. Now I'm good.
Observation(s):
1. Reverting to Firmware to 1.45 causes bootloops that can only be broken by restoring ICS Firmware 3.12.
2. Even after reverting (1.) device will not be stable until you super-wipe. From there on, you can restore backups and flash a ROM as usual.
Hope this helps,
Cheers

I keep getting reboots with latest Miui.us
Hello,
I upgraded my Desire S from GB (MIUI 2.4.13) to ICS (MIUI 2.8.17) over the week-end. Things look good except bluetooth, which doesn't seem to do anything at all. I can't see any other device, and nobody sees me. It worked better on GB (except in-car calling).
I don't have the radio ROM that comes when you follow the MIUI v4 tutorial (3831.17.00.310), I have 3822.10.08.04_M. So I started looking at upgrading it (and couldn't find a working link anyway). But I saw in the forum that this radio doesn't matter for bluetooth.
Any other idea why my bluetooth wouldn't work?
Thanks!
MIUI-2.8.17
Kernel 3.0.16-g62a67df
hboot 2.00.0002 S-ON
radio 3822.10.08.04_M
ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0
Did you do a full wipe when upgrading?

I did wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache, in CWM recovery.
Upgraded to MIUI v4 2.8.24 today (only wipe caches), still no bluetooth at all. Anybody has BT working with ICS and Radio 3822.10.08.04_M ?

Re: no more bluetooth after GB->ICS upgrade

Maybe a little explanation? Replace cwm recovery with 4ext recovery and BT will be ok at once, or we need a full wipe and install of rom again?? Sorry for the noob question.

Actually I do not know.
There were some users in my kernel thread with the same problem and this was the solution. But I do not know what wipes they did. The kernel flashing involved wipe of the cache and dalvic-cache, so I suggest to replace the recovery, reboot to it, wipe the caches then reboot to ROM. If still not working go for a kernel reflash. If still no avail make a nandroid backup and go for a full wipe and ROM reflash. Before that backup your apps with Titanium and sync the contacts and calendar with Google for easier restore. If Bluetooth still does not work restore the nandroid backup, made previously. But I am 90% sure that the recovery is the source of the problem

I've just flashed the ViperOneS v2.0 from v1.2.1 yesterday, I've followed all the instruction from the thread. After flashing the Rom, it keeps showing "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped." I tried to send a bug report through the Venom Hub app, but it keeps telling the there is a error and it is unable to send the report. Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

re-download rom and check md5
did you flash boot image per instructions, if under .13 hboot you may be able to flash just the rom and no need to fastboot boot image
but, you need to wipe all including system in recovery 2X and not in aroma. i have my best luck that way
also try a full rom install as opposed to custom, if you did a custom

my hboot is 1.13 and I did factory twice before flashing the rom, I'll try it again anyway. thanks for your help
I also experienced force close on certain app, is there any solution for it?
I've tried to wipe all the stuff and reinstall the rom, but the problem still exists. Is there any other solution for it? I can't even manage my contacts , whenever I want to link ny contacts, it force closes by itself.

also on fc's clear apps data for tweaks and hub
redo it all again, but this time wipe sdcard first. of course back card up before wiping, just don't restore. i think new rom flash will repopulate what must be there like android secure and a couple others. someone can confirm that.
if it don't work you may want to go back to stock and start over
Is it necessary to wipe the sd card also? btw, I've lost the 3G connection after flashing the rom, I can only connect to the GSM network and when I switch to WCDMA only in my network setting, my phone shows no service is available. Is it the problem of the radio?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
i can use any radio and have no issues
start over with a fresh flash of 2.1 the upgarde manually
don't have to wipe sdcard
but if you start over with full wipe 3x including system. and reformat your sdcard before doing all that. it only leaves your phone. not all phones work well on all roms.
best to fastboot boot image
don't wipe in recovery and aroma, just aroma
don't use twrp 2.4.3.0, or what ever number is for latest--leaving work so kinda in hurry
after you boot first time, reboot and clear caches and boot back into os
claer data on tweaks and hub apk's
not saying you need to do all this, it just eliminates everything but your phone
anyway--good luck
I got the same problem and just reflashed everything and it worked.
I tried reflashing everything but the problem still exists

So I just bought this used and I know the volume is a bit low. Is there a way to make the max volume higher? also since I'm rooted but on stock rom what's the best way to back up all my apps so i don't have to redownload them if i decide to flash a newer rom? thanks in advance

Titanium Backup app will backup all your apps
Also a good idea to make a full Nandroid backup from recovery too, that way you always have a way to recover to how you were before flashing any ROMs
But when you flash ROMs, you don't need to 100% wipe the tablet, just wipe SYSTEM and CACHE and DALVIK CACHE before flashing the new ROM, and your apps will remain installed
User data / apps etc is in DATA partition, ROM is on SYSTEM and think of CACHE and DALVIK CACHE as temp folders, always best to wipe them before and after flashing or restoring

Beauty of EOS is easy update ( wipe dalvik and cache before update) but once in a while do a complete wipe reinstall/update so that the ROM is stable ( personally it helped me). Don't always believe in app back up, I learnt hard way abt it. So my method is update once in 4 revised EOS updates, and flash the ROM after cleaning dalvik n cache. I do not touch apps as they never gave any issues as long as I restore them from titanium back up..

so the kat app isn't working as my speakers don't seem louder...
So I flashed a custom ROM and did the usual steps. Install, wipe caches, etc., and the ROM itself loads. It's a custom 4.4.2 ROM for GT-P31XX and I used CWM 6.0.4.5 recovery to flash it. Problem is that when I boot, I get to the lock screen but System UI, Settings, and AOSP Keyboard always fail. I can't seem to boot into recovery any more but I want to install a different ROM or reinstall stock JB and start over. How would I go about fixing this situation?
Okay, I can boot into recovery actually.

Did you wipe everything first then install? Because you want to wipe, install, boot. Cache, dalvik, data, system are the main ones, always wipe these when flashing a new ROM.
