Looks like your only option is to wipe and reflash whatever rom it is youre using... However, you did post this in the wrong section, and some people tend to get anal about such things...

Almost sounds like you were using an Evervolv rom [happened to me when I was on it.] But what rom are you using? I suggest doing a clean wipe and installing the latest google apps.

Did you also flash the format file

That format file essentially does the same thing as wiping through recovery.

I don't think it does. I don't think normal wiping in recovery wipes the system folder. That's what I read once. Might not be true, but I don't see it say "WIPING SYSTEM..." in Amon RA when I tell it to format. It does data, cache, and sd .secure, I think, but not system.
Edit 1: Oh, and I'm one of those people who are anal about where you post things. Have you never been to a forum before? CLEARLY there is a questions and answers sub-form under the Supersonic main forum section.
Edit 2: I just realized who I responded to. Barnacles, I'm guessing you know better than I do since you actually helped develop the ONLY stock Gingerbread ROM for the EVO that's out right now.

Anything new?

Rooted and installed humble 5.0 a month or two ago and its been good but lately lots of freezing pulling batteries and the battery is dying fast so just wondering if anyone recommends anything else? I am thinking its not really humble but maybe something i installed so i plan on wiping everything back to normal but hey its a good time to try something else too

Danalo's Rooted ep4d is solid.

thats humble isnt it

It's not really Humble, just a slightly tweaked version of the factory EP4D release.
You can also try the InfinityROM and TweakStock versions of EP4D.
I just installed TweakStock on my wife's phone and it's pretty nice.
I'm not crazy about the clock tweak, but my wife could care less.
FYI: I've been running Humble 5.0 for about as long as you have, and I haven't had any issues with lock ups, or the battery.

Yeah I may just restore humble can i just do wipe data or do i need to reflash it

I'd download the CWR version of 5.0, wipe data and cache, then just install the CWR version from your SD card. Easier than using Odin. If you don't have Titanium Backup Pro, it's worth the money. Makes reinstalling your apps (including any launchers you might use) a snap.

This ROM with this THEME is a great combo..new and fresh

I actually just spoke with verizon and there is an issue with the phone itself so they are going to replace it. is there a way to restore to stock yet?

Yes, in the dev section are stock odins. Wipe the data from your sdcard so they don't see root related apps.

You SD card will have whatever extra stuff you had on it whether you flash a factory ROM or not. Some of the folders on the SD card are system folders which most of the content will be replaced with the factory Odin. If you want your phone to be completely stock, wipe your SD card and then Odin the stock ROM.
You can also delete the information from the SD card manually. Folders like "Voodoo" and "clockworkmod" are a dead giveaway that the phone was rooted.
As long as the phone can read the SD card, then its fine to go ahead and either wipe or format the SD card before Odining the factory image. Or just delete the obvious stuff manually, or whatever...

I think I understand what you're saying now. Do this before taking your phone into vzw for them to look at it. I always call them and they over night a refurbished unit so I don't worry about the sd card.

Seconded on TweakStock. It's the most stable rom I have ever used (as in not one issue whatsoever while still lightning fast with excellent battery life). I flashed the one with the experimental kernel so I don't know how it works with anyone else's, though.
I'm not a fan of the clock placement either, but dwitherell posted a flashable fix that I was going to try out sometime.

what stock rom should I use i see a few I would guess bloated but one says if your on epdm4 you wil have issues etc

If true stock is what you want... Odin the stock froyo rom, let it ota update to the latest gingerbread, odin cwr and flash superuser through cwr. Than use titanium to freeze whatever you don't want.
Charge, stock-rooted.. XDA Premium

i want just straight stock no root or anything. if i go froyo is it gonna matter what radio or kernel I have now?

Infinity ROM is a good one- also I found that the TweatStock is great on battery life and you can use the ICS themes.

Really? Just flash on top of it? Seems like there would be conflicts.

When you odin the froyo rom it will put stock radio and kernel on it. Let it update to the new gingerbread. If you are coming from a lagfix kernel make sure you disable lagfix. When you odin the froyo rom I would recommend odin the pit file also to make sure your partitions are accurate.

I was thinking about just using this. do you see any issues

Cant restore backup CWM!

So I finally got my wife to trust me the other night and went for it. All I did was install clockwork mod then root by installing Imoseyon's v.4.0 Kernel. This allowed me to keep all her data and use the voodoo lagfix as it has helped a few other friends phones that I have rooted.All was well till the following day when she complained her phone froze several times and needed a battery pull to restart. So being the compulsive person I am I had her go into voodoo control and uncheck the enable lagfix box. Once restarted she was unable to open any app that was on the SD card. They were just grayed out as if they werent even there. Now she is very unhappy.
I have tried to access the backup I created in CWM before i messed with anything. I get an error. Next I tried flashing the recovery files found here on XDA. Then restore back up. Still an error. So now i have flashe Tweakstock which works but she wants the phone back to stock. I tinker with my phones and friends phones constantly and can usually figure things out when they go wrong but I am really lost here. Any and all help is greatly appriciated.

Which version of CWM did you use?

5.0.2.7 I think, its blue and has a dancing banana in the backround.

In cwm, go to backup/restore, advance, and just restore data

Yes I've had bad luck with that version of cwm. I would try first using the 0817 cwm release to restore the backup. If that doesn't work, i would extract the tar files using 7zip or something similar on your pc, grabbing the files you need, and pushing them back to the proper locations.

So i flashed the 0817 version of CWM. All is well but it still wont restore. I have double checked and everything is in the clockwork folder on the sd card. How do I manually flash them using ODIN? Is this even possible?

So i will be a little more clear with what files I have in the backup folder. There is:
.android_secure.vfat
boot.img
cache.rfs
data.rfs
datadata.rfs
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.rfs

Have you try to restore just data? Make sure you mount all your /data before try it. when you select restore did you see your old backup? Also what sms app you used, stock?

Didnt work. I do see my old backup and stock sms.

First of all, which cwm did you make your backup in? If it was orange then you have to restore with orange cwm. If it was blue then make sure you have the newest version of it. The older ones had problems with restores.
If it doesn't work then you might be out of luck. Maybe you had the old blue cwm and the underlying problem was that it made bad backups but restored good backups fine? I don't really know then.
I have had zero problems with the newest cwm by the way.

Well thanks everyone. I think im just out of luck. I went back to stock using the directions at the top of the Charge development section and now when I sign into the market on my computer to push some apps to the phone, it doesnt recognize it. Any clue here?

can you download apps from the market from your phone? If not try boot into cwm and do the following:
1. mount /system, /data etc.. all of them. Once done they should all displayed unmount in front of all.
2. wipe factory/data, cache, davik cache.
4. reboot and sign in with google account then try to download from the market.

To sort of finish the CWM question, CWM 4.X and CWM 5.X do backups differently. Thats why there are problems with restoring with the wrong one.
With that said, sometimes backups don't work.
Also, you flashed the wrong kernel. Imo4.0 is made for EP4P, not the current OTA for the charge, which is EP4D. Imnuts 0130 PBJ Kernel is the only one made for the Gingerbread OTA.

Just an fyi, I followed your steps to the letter and it works beautifully. Now, if only you could help me by doing this for the ICS blue theme that we have. That would be great.

Your not the only one having problems with posing the ics theme via adb. I'm failing at it constantly but as soon as I figure out the best way than I will def post on it. I have however changed the moto launcher to the ics version and it did add ics ui for the ROM but I couldn't get the phone, browser, or messing icons changed, only the app drawer icon changed. I'll figure it out

Also, if you flashed the CWM on boot than evertime you boot your phone you will go straight to recovery which will help those bootloops. Keep in mind that EVERYTIME you flash a ROM you will need to reflash CWM on boot.

Never restore data via cwm unless your going to stock, and only restore via titanium what you need. Try reflashing and see what happens. Also, if you flashed the updates do this....flash update 1 reboot, update 2 reboot

[Q] Notification and status bar gone

I bought a phone from ebay SGH i727 Android version 4.0.4 Baseband version 1727UCLE2 Build Number SkY ICS 4.2E-2 Kernel Version 3.0.8 perf 1727ucle2-cl526987 [email protected]#1 smp preempt tue may 8 kst 2012 (if all this info works). It was at&t device, which is working with tmobile sim. The problem is there is NO status or notification bar.
There is no way I can receive a call on this phone. NO WAY, no green icon to slide, no home key reply - nothing.
My question are below
1. Can I simply do a factory reset, since if the phone is working on tmobile it is unlocked - right? and should work after factory reset.
2. The phone has root access by superuser and a few more apps that make me think that it may have been a software unlock to allow at&t and tmobile sim ONLY. Is that possible, and is factory reset advised in that case?

Sounds like it's running sky ics. Im pretty sure the reason the phone is unusable is due to the fact it was already factory reset.
Your best bet is to read the stickies and install a fresh rom.

I downloaded the zip file and ran a rom updater via ROM MANAGER app, it did everything, it took a backup, ran a whole lot of activities and said that ROM is updated. Nothing, there is no status or notification bar, there is no change in the phone details from the one posted above.
I just want to be able to ANSWER my calls as of now. I hear a call sound but there is no way to pick up that call. The only way is to see a missed call notice in the wallpaper and then call back.

Don't use rom manager, use recovery.

I was just apprehensive and had read good reviews about ROM manager, so I downloaded a custom rom via it and installed the CyanogenMod Version 9.1.0-Skyrocket
As of now, status and notifications seem to be working fine.
Thank you for all your help, hmm maybe the next time I will try something via a non - interface way.
Thanks again.

By the sounds of it, you should read the stickies as suggested before flashing roms.. sounds like you used rom manager to flash the CM version? Wouldn't advise that in the future and probably lucky nothing bad happened if that is indeed how you did it.
Need any help, feel free to pm me.
