I got my one SV k2_cl from boost a little over a month ago and got the bootloader unlocked and rooted, working fine until one morning it wouldn'tmake calls or texts. I tried to factory reset and when I tried to boot got stuck at the HTC logo. Took me 2 weeks to get it to even flash a Rom on here that will somewhat work. I've got WiFi and partial 3g 4g connectivity but no voice at all. When I try to use the phones its activation tool-error, tried manually programming phone- nothing. I'm stumped. Can someone please help me out here. Don't want to have to buy another phone if I can help it. The only guess I've got at the moment is that if I could get a stock original rom to flash I'd be good to go probably and just hold out on doing anything else to it until after the kitkat ota is launched. The few stock roms I've tried either wouldn't download for some reason or just won't flash right. Thanks in advance for any help guys. I've always been more of a hardware geek more so than software but I can usually muddle through following guides of course.
I'm not much into boost, but did you try to flash the available RUU?
help...
As a matter of fact I have tried that and unfortunetly the installer locked up on a reboot of the phone because the phone wants to do the "Android is upgrading # of #" on every boot. That was why I was thinking since adb/fastboot and the HTC One Toolkit all sorta work that if I could get ahold of a working stock rom to flash on there and I have a stock CWM backup still on my laptop from when I first got the phone rooted and everything working. But of course thanks for the tip anyway. I wish that would work. It seems to be the easiest way to install back to stock.

Okay, so I read and read, searched and searched. So far I'm pretty stuck.
I did a ton of research before taking my LG P500h, and flashing the ROM because I wasn't a fan of the Froyo android setup. Did everything properly, ran an nandroid backup, everything that I was told to do.
Rooted using Gingerbreak APK, custom backup using Amon_RA custom recovery. All done using the latest USB drivers LG updated me with.
I am currently with Koodo Mobile here in Canada. Pretty much an offspring of Telus Mobile. Currently I am running Cyanogen Mod 7 the 6.5.7 beta build, and the phone is not bricked, or giving me any errors or hassle.
The problem is that I cannot use the 3G network or use the Koodo network. It only defaults to Telus towers. No android market showing up anywhere either. From what I've found on here, there doesn't seem to be a bugfix solution to this, and no settings I've been able to change on the phone has helped my situation. Maybe I missed something.
So, I decided to take it back to where I began, back to Froyo 2.2.1 . This is where it all went wrong. Tried going through the Nandroid backup and restoring that, I was given an " Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb! " . Okay, I'm not exactly a Java programmer so I'm a little intimidated. I do however have Android SDK going on my laptop.
Some more searching revealed the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe flashing method. I got the right KDZ file for my Koodo phone, V10V_00.kdz and began the process. Everything checks out, good to go, started update. Wait, phone not found? WTF! My laptop recognizes it, says my phone is connected and working. No problems here, just can't find it? UGH.
So, I need someone to either give me info on getting it to flash the kdz, or get Cyanogen Mod 7 working properly on my device.
Please help, I'll fully admit I'm a noob to this, and not an expert programmer either. But, I know computers and I fully understand what I have done so far to my phone. Just not enough to fix it.
Okay, I have gotten some things working on my phone. I think I am settling into Cyanogen Mod nicely. I missed the Google apps flash zip so I have my market and stuff. Its a shame the data does not work though. Oh well I will keep updating as it gets developed.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
GOT IT! finally...
Finally got my phone recovered to OEM specs. I had to restore my computer back to before I installed all my drivers and reinstalled all my USB drivers from there. Phone connected to USB properly, ran the KDZ updater, and it sucessfully installed the V10V kdz. All is well.
finally good luck.. enjoy androiding..
When you flashed the cyanogen mod rom what program did you use to flash the phone? And how did you make a rom backup? When you reflashed the stock rom did it still have all the original bloatware?
LG Optimus P500h TELUS became dead during Upgrading
Hi everybody!
I have LG Optimus P500h Telus. I purchased from Kijiji. I don't have any papers or documents for that so i cannot claim its warranty.
I was trying to upgrade its version during upgrading my device was stuck so I disconnected and plugged out its battery and inserted again. When i tried to turn it on. It never turned on again. It never ever appeared emergency mode again. I tried for several times by pushing home, power, and volume up and down buttons, and escape buttons. Now its just like dead. It never showed any sign of life. If anybody have any idea what happened with it and how I can recover or where I should take this one for repairs. I am in toronto, canada.
Your help and suggestions will be appreciated.

I got an HTC Inspire 4 G that i bought on eBay.
I got it unlocked
I'm not living in the US
I rooted it a day ago
Now I'm trying to put on a rom it has been unsuccessful
I've downloaded about three diff ones, none work. One actually booted up, when i went in about phone showed be 4.1 but the look of the phone looked nothing like what was in the ROM description.
I tried even getting an update from ATT which it actually now saying (after I rooted it that I do have an update), but the download stopped so it's corrupted.
So I am stuck. I just need a simple brief instruction on how I get a rom loaded oh I'm using clockworld rom.
Also when I got the other Rom loaded it didn't give me any wifi or data access.
And one the phone didn't even boot up fully it kept rebooting till putting me back to clockworld boot which (good thing I did) was able to recover from a backup I have on the SD.
thanks in advance guys

Hello,
Hope you guys can help me. I'm lost right now. (COMPLETE NOOB)
Yesterday I rooted my htc amaze 4g with Hasoon's tool and it worked. Then I installed the Speed 8.0 rom on my phone and everything worked except that it did not recognized my mobile data. I could not even see the 4g in the corner next to the signal symbol.
After that I thought my Wind phone might not be 100% compatible with that ROM (since the rom might be for tmobile phones or something) so I tried the FastAmaze rom but the same. Now I'm trying to go back to the Stock rom, but I cant.
I tried downloading the RUU but once I start the process, it can not be completed. I don't get an exact error it only tells me that the usb might not be connected to the phone or to check the battery. I tried the same thing many times.
I really need data on my phone (Plus I'm paying for it). Can someone help me to restore the STOCK rom or to get data in the Speed or Fast Amaze rom? To avoid future problems I would prefer to just stick to the Stock rom, but if is not possible then as long as I can get data on my phone I'm happy.
A 1000 thank you to all of you.
PLEASE HELP!!!! (Again, I'm desperate)
Hey everyone,
I used to have a Sidekick 4G that was rooted and ROM'd so Im not neccessarily a noob to this, but still a bit. I bought an LG Optimus T (T-Mobile) as a replacement for my broken Sidekick. I'd had the phone before so I knew it was a decent phone, and for $40 on eBay, a deal I couldn't pass up.
Here's the story: I rooted my phone and got a ROM loaded on New Years Day. ROM was fine, but I decided I wanted to change to a newer version of CyanogenMod this past Saturday(1/5). So after testing out a few ROM's, I came across one that unfortunately didn't flash properly. When I tried to go to use the phone, the main Android OS crashed. I had a black screen with the nav bar displaying no SIM card(which was accurate), the time, battery life, and no signal. Once my boyfriend got home and was able to get the phone to finally boot into CWM and flash into the new ROM, even with my SIM card in, I had no signal. I thought maybe it was an issue with the APN so I went in to try to fix it and none were listed. When trying to add one it, it never saved.
My recovery in CWM goes back to the broken ROM, unfortunately. When trying to unroot, Superuser begins to not respond when its trying to uninstall either busybox or Superuser. The phone works fine, I can connect to WiFi and use it and everything.
My question for you today is does anyone have a recovery of the stock ROM that they can post that I can flash into, or any tips on how to fix this? I thought maybe my SIM card is fried for Android, so I thought of calling into T-Mobile to have them activate a spare I have laying around, but would that fix the issue?
I really appreciate any help that you guys can provide. Thanks in advance!

Upgrade to new baseband or flash baseband fix 'after' flashing a rom!!
Download the fix from my signature below. (1st link)
Flash this fix same like flashing a rom from CWM!!
Please bare with me since this is the first time having to post for an issue since I usually find an answer on your forums
So here's the situation.
I bought the photon q 4g lte from ebay and it came with the unlocked bootloader.
Needless to say it was with the stock ics and i tried to find a jellybean update because it wasn't taking the ota and ended up going with cyanogen since i had no problems before. However those phones i had before were with sim cards not cdma.
I found out i couldn't update prl or profile manually without having to do something on the pc.
So after searching left and right i found i could use rsl lite (I used 6.1.5) and eventually found the "stock" file from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095536&highlight=rsd+lite
I did the stock jellybean, got it to go through the process and it booted up with no errors.
However, when it boots into the os it pops up a force close on omadmclient_sprint_dataservice and eventually also on the process com.android.phone.
I tried putting it in airplane mode to see if the service error would go away but it didn't work for the process part crashing.
I tried re-flashing, deleting cache in recovery, doing a data/factory reset in recovery and the one time i was able to do a data factory reset within the settings menu.
I could not find anyone that said they had a rom that worked with sprint and updating prl within the rom, if anyone knows of one let me know and i will flash it through rsd.
Otherwise does anyone have an idea of what could be happening because googling the omadmclient part did not pull up anything specific and pulling up the process issue for other phones has not helped me either.
Was this a hacked GSM phone, or are you using it as CDMA?
I've never heard of people having FC issues after flashing a FXZ from RSD. Which one did you flash? Android 4.1.2 - Sprint US - 9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5 (No simlock) ?
If you are on stock, you should be able to update the PRL within the ROM.
I was trying to use it with cdma network through sprint. and yeah that was the file i downloaded, had to remove the getvar to get it working but flashed with no errors after doing that.
As for updating the prl i can barely navigate through the phone, there is no home page loading and the process pop comes up often enough that its hard to go through the settings

Sounds like something went wrong mate. Are you already activated on Sprint? I don't know if that would matter, it might.
I would honestly redownload and redo the RSD process.

I originally tried to activate the phone through cyanogen and then when the rep said he couldnt do it because of the lack of prl to update within the rom we just setup the activation back on the old phone/ That phone is working on the network.
I re-downloaded the file just in case and re-flashed but same problem. The only thing i thought of was maybe updating the radio but since its a stock rom it should work out of the gate. whats also weird is i tried turning wifi on but it didnt work either.
Anychange you know of a rom that works with sprint. I dont care if its stock since i would probably root later again.

Which one are you flashing?
Try another perhaps...? I honestly have never heard of this. It sounds like the phone might be damaged, or the RSD process just did not flash correctly.
I guess I should ask, was the phone modified at all for the GSM SIM slot mod? I wonder if having a non-Sprint SIM in is messing with it... That is just a shot in the dark.

so far the only rom i tried was 10.1 cyanogen and the stock rom for jellybean. However for the stock rom it doesnt let me downgrade to ics with rsd 6.1.5 do you think if i downloaded an old version i could downgrade to a lower stock rom?
Also I honestly had not looked for the cdma roms since most of what i saw was troubleshooting related for this phone but i just saw this rom -AOKP 4.2.2 (Android Open Kang Project) (CDMA&GSM) that you created - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293892
I re-rooted and installed that one and it looks great, just wondered how you got sprint to activate the phone or if you had done it before changing the rom? Also how would the prl and profile be updated.
Lastly the wifi wasn't turning on this time either, it did work initially when i got the phone so that has me stumped.

To downgrade to ICS, you need to remove some additional lines. See this post for more information on that.
However, you should be able to update the PRL on either stock ROM.
I think I said this before, but I will say it again. You need to do PRL updates, activate the phone, and get EVERYTHING working on stock BEFORE you flash ANY custom ROM. This is just standard practice - you don't want to put the cart before the horse! Get the phone working, then play with custom ROM's.
