Help with ROM Flash - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem I am having. I have tried to flash the Synergy RLS1-Shift ROM onto my EVO Shift and with both version of it that are available here it says that it installs fine, then to reboot, but when I reboot it stays locked on the white HTC boot screen. Do I need to fix permissions or something before rebooting the system to get the ROM to work? Any help is appreciated.
*BTW, before flashing I wipe the Dalvik Cache etc... like all of the threads say to do when it comes to flashing a new ROM*

Are you s off rooted of s on

Which Mik Rom are you running now ? Did you download the Synergy RLS1-Shift ROM over WiFi, or Hardline. Did you check the MD5 checksum ? What is exactly was your Flashing process ? I know you said you wiped " Dalvik Cache etc " .

Mik runny rk speedy is the ROM I am using. I downloaded the synergy ROM over both wifi three times, and twice on 4g. I wipe the dalvik 3x then the cache 3x then the system/user 3x. I admit I haven't checked the checksum on them. All the other roms I have tried, including the one I am on now have been downloaded using the save wifi connection.

I just checked the md5 checksum and both files match what is given in the thread for the Synergy RLS1-Shift Rom.

That's not really a Full Wipe. Try doing a Full Wipe, and Flash according to the Guide in THIS Thread.

Thanks, I will try that tomorrow. Quick question, is there anyone working on a sense ROM with ICS? All the ICS roms I have found haven't between with HTC sense.

There are a few being worked on, but they are not Daily Drivers yet. One is HERE , the other is in THIS thread.

Actually i had the sdame problem with synergy and what i did after it didnt boot the first time just booted into recovery and reflashed with not wipe and it booted right up.......had to think about that one......

Following that wiping process worked, I must have had some kind of conflict with files that did not clear before. Thanks again!!

I'm getting conflicting answers.

I started using the cm7 nightly's today & i'm getting different answers on which to wipe between nightly's. Cache AND Dalvick or just one of them? Some ppl are saying u only have to wipe cache, i've seen just Dalvick & i've seen both. I'd asssume both but don't want to go thru an extra step if it's unnecessary. Thanks alot guys

Oh & is rom manager really safe to use? Can't i just use rom manager for the download & go into recovery manually & do it there? Thanks againe

It really depends on what changed in the nightly. It never hurts to wipe both, but it is usually the case that the system is smart enough to just rebuild odexes for the things that have changed therefore, I'd just go with the cache. I rarely wipe anything between CM7 flashes even many builds apart, but I live on the edge.

I've never used ROM manager so I can't say, but that sounds like the way to go.
I've had bad luck w/ Rom Mgr soft-bricking my phone. I prefer CWM.
Ok, thanks alot guys! I just wanted to make sure & yea, rom manager just doesn't feel as comfortable to me as doing it manually where can see what's going on & abort & restore if i can see something not going right. Mainly i just wanted to know if it was ok to download the rom from rom manager & then do it manually from there. Thanks again fellas :')

Flashed a New Rom

HSSo a little bit ago I flashed the Supreme Sense Rom and after it finished there was no market or Rom manager app. But whenever I try to install the apps it reboots without the installed app there, how can I fix it?
You try wiping and reflashing? Use prboy's intro to flashing in the general section, he uses a pretty thorough method.

Try reflashing without gapps. The rom might already include it.

Should have sent me a pm man whats going on is your running the a2sd version and your sd card isnt partitioned for a2sd so on boot market and a few others get moved to your sd partition thats why their missing, you dont have a partition, i think in my op its stated 2 to 3 times about partitioning your sd and the instructions are located in the second post

[ROM][EL30][MTD] Stock MTD+Root+Deodexed

This is just in case anyone wants a totally Stock EL30 on MTD, or if you are already on MTD and would like to see what's new but don't want to ODIN back. This is identical to the Stock+Root+Deodexed ROM I posted yesterday, except for including ShadowKernel-EL30-MTD-v3.0. Sorry, but I didn't feel like compiling a Stock MTD kernel (but I did need to test mine ).
- Auto converts you to MTD/yaffs2 if you are not already there.
- Does not wipe data if flashing from an MTD ROM.
- If you flashed before updating your modem, see this thread to avoid having to ODIN back.

You need to mount /system in CWM before you flash the hotspot.
Just flashed working great except it did wipe my data. op says it does not. Not a big deal. I have backup.
I'm on cm7
If I made a backup
Then flashed this and updated my prl
Then restored my cm7
Would that work?? Would I still have the updated prl or would it b back to what I currently have???
I know there is another flash that puts cm7 on my sd card but that seems like a very long process to untar the file and go thru the whole thing lol

You're right, I'm sorry. If you flash from a BML ROM, then it will wipe data when it converts to MTD. Otherwise, if you are already on an MTD ROM, it should not wipe data.

retarded i might be but can you tell me where you downloaded the file? i saw the thread on rootzwiki but i didnt see the link to download the actual 010 only the links for 009 and the beta versions of 10 ultimate. i think i read that beta 3 is the same release but i wanted to confirm.
thanks
nvm... i am retarded. for anyone else as oblivious as i, its after "Installation instructions"... not at the bottom of the post by the release info...
Still can't get this combination to work. I've done multiple wipes. Even used wipe tools. Any more suggestions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yup. Boot into CWM and format cache, data and system partitions. Wioe dalvik cache and then flash darkside. Odin back stock. Flash CWM. Flash darkside again. The flash sky ics. Reboot. TWICE. Then flash faux 010m.
I know it seems long but it'll take 10 min, tops. I can guarantee it'll completely fix your problem

lol I could have told u that. A non working camera indicates an improper flash, or remnants left over from previous roms, NOT a permission problem
I have the same issue, non working stock camera. I have to use a 3rd party app to take pictures. I did a full wipe using the wipe codes reflashed rom with kernel while wiping cache and dalvik and sti have the same issue. Has anyone found a fix to this?

Appreciate the advice. I've tried theses steps multiple times now to no avail. At first, I thought this was a hardware issue but now it seems many others are experiencing this. I've also tried the ROM from thazz and the CM9, as the OP. Now, my auto rotate is jacked up no matter what ROM I try. I've tried restoring the stock from t-mobile and the auto rotate is still broke. Ugghh. Looking forward to a fix...

What exactly is your auto rotation problem? Mine is that once the screen goes to landscape, it won't go back to portrait. Along with that, rotation lags seriously, depending on the ROM. Right now, Blazr works the best for the rotation lag. The screen still won't go vertical once its in landscape, but rotation response is quick to landscape.
Idk if it'll help but maybe try flashing cm10 and calibrating g sensor or whatever it is when u lay it flat and calibrate its in settings somewhere maybe that will help
Just my 2 cents

fanks man, will search it out and see
is about the yamaha thin g
be careful though.. about what you install D: Don't brick your device. Just format system and data (after backing up) and install a rom.. see if that works first
Before I flash a new ROM ,I always format system in recovery (mounts and storage) then I wipe data ,cache,etc. Haven't had any issues with rotation or anything else to speak of. Good luck and as the other user said,be careful with what you flash or install.

I also lost auto-rotation functionality after installing CyanogenMod version 10.0.0 on my Galaxy S Blaze, even though "Auto-rotate screen" is checked under Settings --> Display. I'd be happy to try flyers00's suggestion about formatting before re-flashing, but I want to be sure I'm selecting the correct options in ClockworkMod. CWM's format options are: data, system, cache, emmc, sdcard and sd-ext. Which of these should I format?
Thanks.

Thanks for your quick reply, xWolf13. I've been hesitant to go this route because, according to the folks at CyanogenMod, Nightlies "are as volatile as a firmware can get," and are "not meant for use for an average user."
(But I might eventually try it if I become frustrated enough with this issue.)

Nightlies are not necessarily volatile, there just maybe some things broken and some things fixed between updates. Most of the time there are no issues. On the blaze the old stable is not something any one will recommend, the latest nightly is the way to go.
Also, just a note, that most of the time there is an auto rotate setting on the launcher that is separate than the system wide auto rotate, same with other apps.
