Hello Community.
I've installed the CM7 on my ChaCha.
I'm having 2 big problems:
When I turn off my display the mobile data service doesn't come back online. I have to restart the complete phone to make it work again.
Its not a problem of my carrier. It worked all well with the stock rom.
The orther problem is that my phone hangs up all my calls after a single second on its own.
I really need you help...
Any other info you might share?
S-OFF/S-ON, Radio version, complete wipe of data, cache and dalvik-cache before flashing the CM ROM?
Hi Alex.
Thanks for your reply. Sorry that I didn't mention it.
My Chacha is S-ON (unlocked via HTCdev), my baseband version is 47.23.35.3033H_7.51.35.19, I wiped all user data and the cache before installing the Rom. As I found out: the problems are exactly the same with SuperOSR.
Could you try installing one of the radios here:

Can I really try those? I mean the headline says its only for s-off devices
Use a goldcard to flash. Google goldcard android if needed

Today I decided to update my Aria AT&T to Froyo, however i have some questions prior doing this:
1. How can I back-up all my data that I have on my phone?
2. Can I fully de-brand my Aria AT&T phone? How? Link?
3. If I debrand it, will I be able to use updates directly from HTC for "naturally" debranded arias?
4. Which Froyo works best? Is there an 100% working one?
I understand that search button is my friend, but unfortunately it is very difficult for me to follow all the info found on this website, especially when english is not my mother language. Please excuse my newbeeness

1. Once you have rooted your Aria, boot into ClockworkMod and perform a full 'nandroid' backup of your current rooted system. You can use this as a restore point in your ROM flashing adventures. But as far as retaining your current data when you flash a new ROM you are more than likely going to have to reinstall all your apps on the new ROM. For your contents, you can sync them to your Google account and when you load a new ROM and enter your Google account during setup you can resync your contacts.
2. The Liberated Series of ROM are HTC Sense ROMs with all of the AT&T bloat ware removed. You can get either the Eclair 2.1 version (Liberated R012) or the Froyo 2.2 version (Liberated FR008).
3. As long as you have a rooted phone, there really isn't any advantage to getting an official HTC OTA update. In fact, chances are when you take an OTA update from HTC, you will lose root. Best advice is to wait a few hours and let the devs come out with a rooted, flashable version of the HTC update to preserve your rooted environment.
4. Personally I prefer CyanogenMod 6.1.1 for my Froyo ROM of choice. I have also tried Liberated FR008 and it retains the HTC Sense interface. Best advice is to try them and see which one you like best.

Let me sympathze with you... i have been there.
So let me try to explain a little and there are some videos to help
The first thing you will probably want to do is 'root' your phone - by doing this you are invalidating your warrenty - but heck - who cares - what you want is a phone that runs the latest OS right and provides you all the goodies that ATT keeps you from......
Check out these links
http://theunlockr.com/2010/08/02/how-to-root-the-htc-aria-unrevoked-method/
and
http://theunlockr.com/2010/08/02/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-aria/
they might help
ClockworkMod is what most people use , it provides you the ability to
perform a back up (nandroid) as well as
install Custom MODs (the reason you are here isnt it?)
I would suspect you would want the latest MODs - to do you should look to the forums - as they change every so often.
The good thing is - with the MODs and ClockworkMod - changing these ROMs are fairly simple. Just download the ROM (zip) , copy it to your SD card on the phone (use USB) - then boot your phone (turn off , ON in a special way ) into Clockwork MOD, Wipe the Caches, install from SD (find the ROM you put on there)
bingo - new Mod.
If you like the HTC Sense flavor - then currently - you will probably want:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819715
If you dont need or want HTC Sense and want something different - try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821642
(dont forget the google addons too)
They are both excellent ROMs - and would recommend you try both at sometime and decide yourself - and yes - they are both very stable.
As for the HTC Over The Air version - I wouldnt install it - period.
We seriously need someone to devote a sticky thread for all of this.. Like a ROM Bible if you will.. It would help out tremendously.
Edit:
Looks like Notatreofan has one, but it needs severely updated.
Thank you guys for your responses.
I managed to root my Aria and CM6-6.1.1-Liberty works fine.
However, when I install Liberated Aria Froyo Series FR008 I get the following message on my start up screen:
"Sorry! The application settings (process com.android. settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." "Force close"
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

When you switch between CM 6 and Liberated ROM you need to make sure that you do a "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and advanced -> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" before you flash the ROM.
Also make sure that when you boot into clockwork your phone is NOT connected to your computer. Having USB connected when starting up clockwork makes funny things happen... well actually, not so funny. =)
Well, I was only doing "wipe data/factory reset", i guess this is the problem. Now i ll have to clear some data to try it again, only 52mb left from the sd...
Now it is time to do a search for a nice theme, and get the radio working. In regards to the radio, I downloaded some apps however they all work with the web, not the transmitter

I followed both advices but still no luck, the Liberated Aria Froyo is still not working
When I turn on the device and immediately after I unlock the screen, I get the following message:
Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Any more guesses?

Have you downloaded a new copy of the Liberated FR008 and tried flashing that? It sounds like either the ROM zip file is corrupt when you flash it onto the phone or the wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache is not working correctly.

I am redownloading right now, hoping that it will work.
And another thing, how do I install the "FR008 Default"? Same method like the
ROMs without wiping?

New download didn't work either, same message appeared after flashing it. Gutted

Here is the link that you should be downloading and flashing:
http://droid.neolobster.com/roms/liberated_aria_FR008_signed.zip
The "FR008 Default" is a kernel option that is already included in the ROM link above, so you don't need to worry about it. The only reason you would need to flash it is if you decided to try the Hong Kong Shipping 2.2 kernel and then wanted to switch back to the FR008 Default. You are correct in that you would flash these from ClockworkMod by using the Install ZIP from SD Card option.

OK, so let's assume that you have a good ROM flash at this point and it could be data corruption. I would boot into ClockworkMod and do another 1) "wipe data/factory reset", 2) "wipe cache partition" and 3) Advanced -> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and then reboot the phone and see if that solves your issue.

It does take a few minutes to boot. If you're waiting for 6-7 minutes or more, you might have an issue.
Hi
I only did "wipe data/factory reset", and it's working fine only booting seems to be slow .
should I do it and how do I do the "wipe cache partition" and advanced -> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" or I can just leave it
Thank you
Hi all !
well this is my first android phone the htc sensation on t mobile uk now go easy because im new to this !
i managed to root the phone and installed supercid using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 worked perfect !
i would like to install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
now this is where i get confused ??? on the rooting guide he says i can install roms without losing data apps etc but on the rom guide he says i must use super wipe script before installing ? which do i do ? if i have to wipe i dont want to lose apps or contacts especially contacts what would be the best way to backup these and restore?
sorry if this is a silly question but as stated im an android virgin and this is all a lot to take in my head hurts off all the reading !
thanks
Most ROM's will only work there best if you do a full wipe first, the best option is to use Titanium backup then restore everything afterwards is the best option. Or what other tool(s) you want to use to backup the information and settings, contact export to SD then import after
If you just install the ROM without doing a full wipe, 9 times out of 10 all your settings remain, even though it says it is wiping things.
But
Hi,
The release of the stable CM7.1 really encouraged me to finally S-OFF my phone and install it. I used Revolutionary 0.4pre4, and installed CWM 5.0.20. I wiped everything (data, system, cache, dalvik, you name it), and installed the CM7.1 update zip and right afterwards the new Google apps zip. Eventually, I used Fix Permissions, and rebooted.
I was quite happy, until I saw the com.android.phone FC message. It just showed the same message over and over. I updated my radio to the latest version, to no avail. I tried reformatting, re-wiping, reinstalling quite a few times, and I even tried 3 different sim cards. I finally decided to go back to RUU (kept S-OFF), and didn't get any FCs.
I'm really frustrated, since it is my first Android phone, and I really believe I tried everything already.
Thanks in advance.
I got no problem at all until now.
Another thing I've discovered is when I get these FCs, sometimes if I enable the bluetooth, the phone suddenly discovers the network and the FCs stop. That's just very odd, to me.
I really hope that's not a problem with my phone (especially since it does work properly with RUU).

Nothing has ever broken my phone quite as much as when I have done the 'fix permissions' thing. Totally screwed my phone and was FC city. I've never done it since, and never had any problems since. Try going back over your steps and leave out the fix permissions part!
I recently had a quick go with CM7 nightlies and had no issues. This included the last nightly before it became stable which was very close to the stable version.

Odd. Here is how I did mine, step-by-step. (Do a NANDroid backup before this, and copy it to your PC/Mac.)
1. Install latest 4EXTRecovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130004
2. Use this to format all partitions to EXT4. (Not sure if you are using EXT3, not sure if it matters, just saying I'm on EXT4 formatting with no issues.)
3. Do the full wipe & manual format routine (including boot) again just in case!
4. Flashed CM7.
5. Flashed Gapps.
6. Flashed Tiamat kernel (1.1.4)
7. Reboot.
I'm used the same radio as in my sig but also doubt that matters. Not sure what else to suggest. Try downloading the ROM again, and compare the MD5 of your two downloads.
Wow, I believe I'm in some big trouble now. I decided to try and get my phone replaced in the store since I just recently bought it. I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17481836&postcount=2 to get back to S-ON, but when I tried to flash back the RUU, I get a CUSTOMER ID ERROR and the flash fails.
I've tried two RUUs: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed
RUU_Saga_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.1_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199476_signed
But they both end up the same way. I'm now stuck on the HBOOT screen with S-ON and a big purple security warning (I guess since CM7 is still on the /system partition).
Any help?
Try solution 2 of this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284196
but replace the mmc....
With
mmcblk0p25
this will format your system partition,
maybe also data could be formatted by replacing mmc... with mmcblk0p26,
after that run the ruu again.

Have you tried wiping cache and
dalvik cache?
I also had fc after an update, this solved it for me.
If you're using cyanogen, try changing the language to English us, this solved it for some users.

Never mind, I actually created a goldcard in order to bypass the CUSTOMER ID error and flashed my phone back to original and S-ON. Thanks anyways.
Just as a note to everyone, you should really go about getting back to S-ON via this way: Flash any RUU, get the original HBOOT image from that RUU (you can find it in your temp folder while flashing the RUU), and then just downgrade the HBOOT using fastboot. Easier than going through ENG HBOOT, and allows you to avoid these kind of problems (CID errors).
The problem is that you restored "DIALER STORAGE" via titanium backup. Reflash ROM, and don't restore this. It'll work, FOR SURE.

Sure, it's really the same process for all HTC phones and works even on the newest models (Sensation generation). Thanks a lot to EFI from AlphaRev who actually pointed me in the right direction.
I used this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
I'm using Windows 7 x64 and when I inserted the card after modifying it, Windows required me to format it (as opposed to what's written in the above guide), but it still worked. Also, since my phone was stuck on HBOOT I had to use another Android phone to get the SD's CID (I used a friend's SGS, and the SD slot to query is mmc2 on it).

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
