I would like to think of myself as capable of knowing how to flash ROM's but with any of the sense ROM's NFX Speedy Kingdom, Team-Nocturnals Shooter & even occasionally with Supreme Sense I get random reboots often, SS being the lesser. Its been suggested maybe I'm clocking the custom kernels wrong but it happens for me even with stock kernels. I clear dalvik cache, wipe cache partition, format cache, format data, format system, format sd-ext, wipe data/factory reset 3 times a piece, then I flash a ROM. Anybody have any suggestions as to why maybe this is happening?
Maybe a rouge app. Is there an app you always download after flashing?

I've left the systems entirely alone to test it see if it does it, it still does.

Had an issue like that on a phone I take care of. No matter how much I cleared the data it would occasionally random reboot. What ended up resolving the issue was to RUU back to Stock 2.2 . Backed up and reformatted the Micro SD Card, with SD Card Formatter. Then rerooted with Shift RR, haven't had the issue since . Seems a bit extreme. But I think it was because of all the Rom Flashing, something might have gotten corrupted data wise.

Yeah I just tried the RUU back to 2.2 Stock like 2 days ago to attempt to clean it all out but its still doing it. I'll try the idea you had in its entirety and let you know the results.
Keep us posted.
Pretty much same results. I even switched between EXT3 and EXT4.
Not sure why it would be doing it at this point. You could try a Non-Sense Rom see if the issue goes away.

hi,
I am trying to install multiple ROMs on my inspire and see which one is better so far I have installed CM7 and CoreDriod 6.7; I felt CM7 is good and faster however when I stalled CoreDriod 6.7, I am noticing very slow response and my inspire is responding very slowly if I do anything, just wondering if others also noticed samething, ...would appreciate your feedback.
Thanks.

CoreDroid and CM7 are apples and oranges, however you shouldn't be having any slowdown issues in CoreDroid. The times I've used it, it has been just as responsive as any other ROM. Sounds like you may have a bad flash - be sure to do a full wipe before installing any ROM (in CWR it is the "wipe data/factory reset" option). Personally I also like to manually format the /system partition since the wipe data option doesn't do this (in CWR the format /system option is under "mounts and storage"). I think during installation many ROMs already format /system anyway though before it starts writing files to this partition.
If you keep having problems with CD after reflashing, just build your post count up to 10 and then you can post in the support thread in the dev section. It is a nice ROM worth checking out.
It is also very important to wipe dalvik-cache by going into (from recovery) advanced- wipe dalvik-cache.

I had to flash and wipe coredroid twice to get ride of leftover cm7
Try leedroid its the most stable for me
Mr.Nun.Ya
Keep in mind that Sense ROMs (coredroid) do a lot of restoring on your first reboot. A lot of your apps are being restored, as well as a lot of your settings. It's usually a little slow at the beginning, but if you give it some time it should stabilize itself. If not, then the other guys are right, it was a bad flash or you didn't wipe correctly.

True, however that is a redundant step. The dalvik cache is automatically wiped when you run "wipe data/factory reset" in CWR (dalvik cache is stored on the /data partition and the /cache partition, both of which get wiped by this command).
After doing a proper wipe and flash to a new Rom I have found it best to do a full restart a few minutes after after the Rom settles down after the first boot-up.
Hey all, long term lurker here posting, obviously, for the first time. I'm not sure whether this would be better placed in the general or q&a section, as it seems like a good portion of the general section consists of questions.
Anyways, on to the problem. I recently attempted to flash the mr1 version of CM7 and was greeted by a force close loop, with com.android.phone closing. This was after wiping the dalvik cache and all data before flashing the rom. I was actually getting into a bootloop before that, even thought the md5 of the rom matched up with the one posted. I had redownloaded the rom to try again, and managed to actually boot before running into this fc problem. I have no idea what could be causing this, and it would be great if anyone could offer up some ideas on potential fixes, or at least some insight into what might be going wrong.
What radio are you using?
As far as I know, the stock radio. I don't remember ever flashing anything other than some of the early thunderbolt cm7 builds. Radio version is 1.16.00.0223r.
You have the correct radio (you can use 223r or 402w for MR1 version). Did you wipe /data, /system, /cache, /dalvik-cache?
I believe I wiped all of those. I know for a fact that the dalvik cache got wiped, and I'm pretty sure I wiped /system and /cache

I'd recommend wiping and flashing back to a Froyo ROM (BAMF is always a good choice, just make sure its not one of the new Froyo mr2 ones), and then attempting to wipe and re-flash CM7. Sometimes these things just happen. If its just a little bug, this will fix it. If theres a deeper issue, we can do more to expose what exactly it is, but lets go in baby steps

I'd agree but me personally I'd just do a wipe of /system, /data, /cache, /dalvik-cache and reload the ROM fresh over a clean system. Once you do that and load up gapps see if you have any issues before reloading apps. It wouldn't hurt to return to a FroYo ROM just to make sure things are good though as well.
Try clearing data on contacts storage, phone, and media storage, for some reason one of those worked for me
Thanks, I'll try your suggestions and see if they get anywhere. @MattBeyers, I'm currently on the stock sense rom (or whatever you end up on after rooting), so would you suggest I flash another froyo rom or should I just go ahead and try a wipe and then reflash cm7?
EDIT: Well something worked. Seems like I'm good to go, although I'm not really sure if anything changed in what I did to try and get cm7 running this time. Thanks for your help guys, and hopefully I won't run into any more problems here.
I have just recently begun modding my G2x. I can install ROMs without any problems but I've since been interested in flashing a custom kernel. Information is sort of everywhere and what I do manage to find I am worried about it being out-of-date. Anyway, I flashed cm7.1 (the stable release) and it worked fine until it started fc-ing everything google related (something to do with sync?). I decided to try flashing kernels (wiping caches as instructed) and could never get one to work. I've since flashed the latest cm nightly (201 I think) and tried trinity with it. Still nothing. I've since read that I should let the phone sit for 10-20 minutes but after about 20 minutes it is just a black screen and nothing ever happens. It does get really hot however. Anyway I have tried flashing kernels multiple times and nothing has ever worked, same story every time. Any way somebody could tell me what I'm doing wrong? Tell me what's compatible (as maybe sorta stable) with the ROMs I'm using? HAHA and if it's not asking too much...maybe some links too? Sorry, just very new to this and very eager to learn. I just have a bit of trouble figuring out what's supposed to be compatible and where to find it. THANKS!
Start over fresh, wipe data x 2, wipe system x 2, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash cm7 nightly, dont reboot yet, wipe cache ONLY, wipe dalvik cache ONLY, flash kernel try faux123 (make sure kernel is for cm7) latest or morfic latest, reboot, enjoy ....

Thanks will give it a shot in the morning. Too much of a headache all day. Back in a useable state and I want to keep it that way for a bit haha. Will post results.
I still haven't tried to flash a new kernel... that is coming in a bit. I do have a question though... I'm interested in getting my phone in the cleanest state possible before doing anything further. I basically want my external sd cleaned up (I want to just reformat it) before flashing a rom again. What files/directories are absolutely essential to keep? As I said, I want to just wipe it clean but I'm not sure I can do that.

So just to be thorough I can safely remove the cwm directory as well? Just delete it all put my rom and kernel zips back and I'm good?

Tried to just flash 0.4.7 and it did the same thing as before. Waited 20 minutes before taking out the battery then tried to boot it again. Waited 20 more minutes and all it ever did both times was get hot. Same results as before.

First post! Hopefully it's in the correct place!
Anyways,
I have rooted my phone using the ACE Hack Kit. Once that was completed I wanted to use the cyanogen ROM(recommend from a friend). I fully wiped from phone and then ran the cyanogen zip. Everything is fine until I use my phone for an extended period of time(for instance when I'm trying to set up my phone). For some odd reason my phone will freeze and I will be forced to take my battery out. From what I've read/understand I have done everything properly. Is there anything that I possibly missed or have not done that will cause these random freezes?
Thank you,

You or anyone wouldn't happen to know off hand if the kernel is UVed or OCed? This sounds like a UV or OC problem. Its an easy thing to fix if it is and I find that's is always best to rule out the easy stuff first! Some phones don't like to be UVed or OCed at all and freezes like this sometimes are caused by exactly that, UV or OC.
edit: and oh yeah, WELCOME! If you really like CM ROMs, give absolution a try (at the very least, if you or someone doesn't know if the kernel is UVed or OCed, you're be using a ROM I'm familiar with and if the problem persists on this ROM, diagnosing the a UV or OC problem should be fairly simple and I'll know how to get that fixed quickly for you since I haven't used the straight CM ROM in quite some time!) Actually come to think of it, did you check the md5 number? you could have downloaded a bad link causing a bad flash. It's rare most of the time but I have seen it happen..
If you havent downloaded any apps and dont mind reflashing the ROM just down load the full wipe place in ROOT (No Folder) of SD Card go into recovery.
Full Wipe (DO NOT RENAME AFTER DOWNLOAD)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CJPE5CB7
1. Choose zip from SD Card (Full Wipe 1.5) and Install
2. Choose zip from SD Card (Cyanogen ROM) and install
3. Reboot system and enjoy.
I dont like to do the wipe cache, wipe dalvik whatever method, the zip 1.5 does a full wipe all on its own. Its an EXT4 Wipe so I use it for all EXT4 ROMS that I like to try out.
!!!WARNING: When you flash the full wipe do not exit recovery without installing your ROM. So make sure that when you enter into recovery thru Rom Manager to reflash make sure that you have both (Full Wipe Zip) and (Your ROM Zip) on your SD Card before installing.
I tried cyanogen and completed hated it. Absolution is the Bomb!!! But to each their own flavor.
ENJOY
@reponse
First off, thank you for the responses!
@MMM-BACONSTRIPS
I do not know if the rom is OCed or UVed(had to look up those). Here's the link to the page where I downloaded it from. Also, I did not check the md5 numbers.

So far today it hasn't froze on me. However, if it does it again I'll def look at some different roms (absolution & puregandroid)
@Reinaldo33897
I did full wipe(I don't remember if the version was 1.5) before I installed the rom. If anything. I'll try absolution and puregandroid.

Not a problem man! Be aware though with the 1.5 wipe that it DOES format your system and data to EXT4, and if I'm not mistaken if you make a back-up on EXT 4 and then format back to EXT 3, it will not work and the same applies for vice versa. If you do end up trying Absolution just drop on by the Q & A if the freezing problem persists, I or one of the devs will try to give you hand the best we can..feel free to PM if you go with Absolution
So does the 1.5 wipe SDCard also? will EXT4 end up being a problem? Also, will do! I really appreciate the help!
I'll def give absolution a shot!

No, if you use the full wipe it pretty much just does the wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache in one flashable zip. I typically use the 1.5 then wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. It is completely overkill and really not necessary but I do it just the same. No, EXT4 should no cause a problem. I'm pretty sure that almost all the ROMs are now EXT4 supported. I believe it would say it if it wasn't at this point. I know the major ROMS (ARHD, CD, Bindroid, MIUI) are all compatible with EXT4. The only issues you will find with EXT4 is the issue I mentioned in my first post and if you want to use gene's tool to unroot.
Welcome to xda and yes I had the same problem I was setting up setcpu and I sneezed and I accidentally pushed it all the way over to 1.9 and my phone didn't like it it just froze...I was worried :/ so I turned my phone back on and went into setting and forced setcpu to close (mind you it took a few restarts lol) but yes I had let it reset itself and now it's working again I just need to remind myself to do a nandroid once a day xD hehe

I believe there is a 1.3 wipe that formats to ext 3 again, just in case the OP wanted to format to ext3 before flashing a new ROM as opposed to flashing a new rom and then having to wipe and then flash again.
Cool Thx I'll do s search for the 1.3. It be good to have.

I'm having a little issue. Yesterday I flashed CM10 and had everything set up and all was good. I listened to music without a problem. This morning, on my way to school, I was using poweramp (as I do on a daily basis) to listen to music. After class, i decided to run poweramp and i noted that it would attempt to open but then i would get kicked back to my home screen. So i decided to use Apollo (which im not much of a fan of but I was glad I kept it). I came home and I immediately Got rid of CM10 and went with Stock based ROM. installed everything as usual but I'm still having the same problem. This time, I uninstalled the app (cleared data and cache), rebooted, installed again and the same thing was happening. So i decided to download another popular music app (player pro) and it was doing the same thing. Can I get some tips on what the Issue may be please? I have uploaded images of both of the apps stalling before I was kicked back to my home screen. And I also did a logcat. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Note: The link is to download the Logcat since its bigger than the XDA limit.

If you did a "dirty" flash when switching your ROM (that is, only wiping cache and Davlik cache) then you might want to try a "clean" flash. There's some disagreement about what a "clean" flash is; but, it at least includes a factory reset/data wipe.
I will do a factory reset/data wipe, and a cache wipe, and a Dalvik wipe when switching ROMs. It doesn't take that long, so why not just do everything.
Of course, make sure you back up everything first -- the factory reset will completely erase all of your apps and settings.

I've done that. I only dirty flash ROM updates. When I go from ROM to ROM, my habbit it wiping data twice, wiping dalvik twice, wiping cache twice and formatting system twice.
I Spent 2 hours getting this ROM set up yesterday and installed all of my mods. Guess I'll have to switch. Thanks for the reply
