Guest Ibanez33 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 What I found was I did a wipe then installed and got as far as the boot screen. Rebooted the phone (took the battery out) and it started fine. Having issues restoring my contacts using my backup. so restoring to make a new backup...

Guest chamby Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 yeah, i think it means "no wipe when coming from villain 3.0"... did you do a wipe? if so what does logcat say? not a clue what logcat is (sorry im new to all this) i did do a wipe but it just hung on the white htc screen fo about 15mins when i booted so pulled the battery and restarted the phone and it hung at the same place again for about 10-15mins so i pulled the battery again ive since tried to wipe and flash a couple more times and just gave up as playing the waiting game got boring real quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_IMF Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 To get the 2.1 Android home screen instead of the crappy HTC one (I think it's crappy): adb remount adb shell cd system/app rm HtcLockScreen.apk rm HtcLockScreen.odex reboot [/codebox] For those who don't know...

Guest Ibanez33 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'm reverting back to mcr. All I wanted to do was restore my contacts and sms. sms went fine but for some reason the contacts only seemed to say the back up contained 4 (should have been 78) and even failed at that? Was using mybackup pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_IMF Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I've restored my sms fine and my contacts are through googly anyway??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ibanez33 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I would do that too but as the only gmail accounts left were random garbage characters I don't really wanna use it for anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_IMF Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 The 3.1 ROM has fixed the root problems... Issues that I've picked up on: 1) Gallery (the 3D one) 2) MMS not sending/receiving even though settings are correct 3) HTC Widgets still disappearing/reappearing. Has a nice bootup animation though! :( And it's super super fast. I don't think I've ever seen my phone so fast... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sik_gerar Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 i'll probably wait for a mcr 4.0, i dont want to wipe my phone :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davey4444 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 i'll probably wait for a mcr 4.0, i dont want to wipe my phone :( You would have to wipe it for mcr 4 as it's based on 2.1 and not 1.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sik_gerar Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 well I guess you're right, but changing your custom rom to a new coder's will make the process "dirtier", so to speak. I guess that if I wait for mcr4.0 the transfer will be cleaner than if I change rom brands. any more cons to my point? or should I switch and test new customs with little problems? I already have titanium+nandroid backups. @paul i hope youre having fun at holidays.. comeback with your bateries @100%! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
