Hi
First post on this forum so hello everybody and if this is posted in the wrong area, I apologise : )
Well let me get down to the issue. I've been reading about rooting my phone (DHD) for a while and decided to take the plunge. Everything went well, phone is rooted and has access to superuser but I got a bit carried away with myself.
I decided to flash a new ROM (CyanogenMod-7.1 for DHD) and since then I've had a few problems. Flashing the ROM itself was fine, all booted up OK. This is the stupid part (feel free to laugh at me), before I flashing the ROM I didn't really do any home work on the process. It was late, I was in the mood to tinker about and just thought what the hell. Before I flashed the ROM I did a full back up of my apps and data and this is where some of the problems stem from. I have a tried restoring my apps and data and it completes but the phone runs with loads of force close errors. I've tried using the tool included on 'ROM Manager' to fix force close issues but still getting issues.
What i'd like to do is just go back to sense 2.1 for the time being whilst i read up on flashing roms and working out which ROM is more suited to me.
Do i have to find the sense 2.1 ROM and flash it again or is it still on the phone somewhere? My stock was with virgin mobile in the uk
Thanks for reading
I've resolved this now - thread can be closed : )

I've searched and couldn't find. My bad if i missed it.
So I flashed MIUI and followed the steps of each MIUI rom thread. Everything works perfectly except for one thing. The GPS. It seems that everyone gets the gps to work except for me o.o. well it worked once but after that each time i load up the gps, the app freezes and my phone keeps vibrating. (i have to set the phone to silent using volume keys to stop it) after i stop it every time i hit my home key it vibrates again, nonstop. then everything i try to start up FCs anyone got a solution for this ?
i tried the privacy>reset phone thing but didnt work either.
i've also tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1370910
by the way i tested this with other roms. every rom i tried it on worked. the only roms that didnt are the MIUIs (all of em)
and no i did not drop the phone in water nor is there any sort of damages to the phone.
its happening because you didnt post this in the right section
try reflashing. . . . a good rom. . . . like ics or something.
posted in Q and A. not one reply. i tried multiple roms. every miui/cm7 and the ics rom. same problem.
Try to ODIN back to Froyo, then load GB boot loaders via ODIN and flash the ROMs.Might help.
Agreed with above, when in doubt Odin back to stock
Vibrant+MIUI=Happiness

i did ODIN back to froyo. i dont think i tried the bootloader thing though. ill give it a shot. thanks.
I had this same problem for awhile. I used the Yet Another GPS fix and after that I would wipe the GPS data and force it to download new data. This would fix it every time.
THEN today I updated to the new MIUI-112300 and it worked first try without me having to tweak anything.
Good luck!
lams09, please don't re-post the same thread twice but with slightly different names... Anyways, I posted this in the other thread the OP posted asking the exact same question...
"Try flashing MIUI via my guide."

did you use the official MIUI ?
yes. clear your agps data and re download before using gps
I had used the amaze 4g all in one tool kit to unlock my bootloader, install a custom recovery, and then installed a custom rom (bullet proof 2.5) along with the provided kernel to go with it.
The phone worked great for a few days, then I noticed that it was acting like the wireless network radios were turned off in the software. They were still enabled so I rebooted and it fixed the problem for a little while.
Now my phone will only give me the com.android.phone has stopped working error and will not let me turn on the wireless network radios.
I have tried complete wipe of the phone and re-installation of the custom rom. I have tried different, yet still recommend, custom kernels, as well as different recoveries all with the same issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried searching with out any good results.
Thanks.

are you running joes "one good rom"? dude it says right in the op
Attention 2: on the first start "com.android.phone" process will FC, it is normal.
It's because of Toggle2G app. Just open that app and give it permission to run.

I actually stated in my first post what rom I was running when all this happened.
I have tried Joes "one good rom" and followed all his kernel and set up instructions with no luck. On his rom I don't get the error message, but all of the wireless network options are grayed out. I am starting to think it might be something hardware.

doh! shame on me for not seeing that i would say if worse comes to worse, reflash the stock rom and see if youre up and running. if its still not working, then id say maybe send it in for warranty

No worries. I am actually in the process of finding and flashing the stock rom back onto it, going to try and put everything back to stock and see what happens.

Hi. I decided to add to this thread instead of starting a new one since i am having a similar problem. The originator never said if he was able to solve the problem. I was using the Energy ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362759) (ICS, S-ON) and everything was fine. I decided to try the Speed ROM (project "butter" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623184) which is Jellybean based. I did a full wipe, and after installing it I got the same com.android.phone error. I got it to stop, but then started having other issues like Superuser, BusyBox, and Titanium Backup unable to get root access. Unable to find any other solutions, I decided to restore to stock, which went fine (well I had to try a few times as I haven't done it before). After that, and having the phone working fine back at stock ICS I reflashed the Speed ROM. I ended up with the same issue. I wiped again and returned to the Energy ROM and it seems to be working fine. My quesiton is, why is the Speed ROM not working on my phone? When it flashed there were no issues, and I followed the instrucitons exactly.
I would post in the Speed ROM forum but I don't have enough posts yet since I am usually able to find answers by searching.

That's a common problem with SpeedRom and some other as well. Re-flash the SpeedRom, after it boot-up, go to Google Play store and download SuperSU -not Superuser -, open SuperSU and update binary. After that you can install busy box and run Titanium ....

Thank you! After I posted I ran across somehting in the speed rom thread that made me go back to the original post. Sure enough, there is a download link for SuperSU which it says you need to flash to gain root after installng the ROM. I guess I read the instructions above, scrolled down to the rom download link, and then stopped. I will try this again with what you suggested when I have time in the next day or two.

So I have had some weird issues. I was running on Slimbean when this started. Out of nowhere my device started freezing from time to times, like if I was writing a text message or something. Everything would just stop and then I had to reboot the system to get it functional again. This started to get annoying so I did a clean reinstall of Slimbean, formatted system and cache etc. That didn't help so I decided to change the rom. I installed another AOSP rom, Carbonrom but that did't help (of course I did a clean install). After that I decided to try if changing the rom to Sammy based would help. I was wrong.
At this point I taught that something with my hardware would be broken. So I installed triangleaway, formatted system and then installed samsung's official firmware with odin. Then I did a factory reset from system settings. My plans were to send the phone to warranty but strangely after running the stock rom for about a week, the freezing problems were gone, when earlier it was a daily thing.
So now I'm wondering what could have it been and why? If I reroot and install a custom rom now, will the freezing start again?

ROMs are tricky things in my experience.
I've tried most of them and most of the ones I tried have really bad flaws - for my phone.
When one doesn't go so well for you - like the RR ROM, it's time to move on and try another.
After following the instructions of course, like full wipe, cache, blah blah blah. Try it twice, the second time following instructions really closely.
I found the PA and offspring to work really well - for my phone.
In the end, play and learn. It's fun and really difficult to completely wreck your phone.

Might be a longer friendlier answer but the answer is essentially nonsense. The OP has a specific problem. Posting waffle like you just did smacks of wanting to get your post count up because it doesn't help the OP one bit.
OP - You haven't given us anywhere near enough info to help you. Connectivity normally just doesn't go away all of a sudden unless you've made changes to your setup, or there's a carrier-side issue causing the problem.
What have you done with the phone recently setup-wise, have you been messing around with RIL's or modems ? If it's the latter, then you need to try more modems. If it's neither, I'd be going back to stock (a rom for your carrier, so you get a modem that should work), then reinstall the rom you're using. If that doesn't work, flash the 3 part firmware in Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General (this will wipe your phone, backup first), then flash stock for your carrier, then reinstall custom rom.
If the problem persists after all that, then you're looking at carrier-side issues or perhaps even a hardware issue. WiFi working & data not have no bearing on each other as WiFi drivers are in the kernel & separate to data connectivity.
We would need more information as to how did you flash the new ROM? Are you using a separate Kernel? Which GAPPS version did you flash?
I am also on the RR 5.0.8 with Dorimanx kernel. Also, I used the light version of GAPPS for flashing. Try using the light version if you have not used it.
not sure if this is the wrong place to post this.

I re installed the stock recovery images but I can no longer get the gps to acquire signal.
after this failed i installed steves kernel , and updated it to use the carbon rom firmware ,
But i still cant get the gps to get a signal
i read that this is a bug after you update firmwares,
but i am not sure where to get a radio firmware , and i already tried to restore to the factory firmwares and that didnt seem to have any effect..
help would be appreciated , i primarily use this device for geocaching , so without a gps signal its a brick for me...

you need to go back to absolute zero. follow the instructions in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850 to the letter, being sure to wipe the cache when it says to. also, make sure you install the proper stock rom (international or usa, which ever one is appropriate for your device, if you dont know, look at the top of the fourm i directed you to)
after that, try reflashing again, following the instructions to the letter. usually when these issues happen, it is because of something stupid like a cache not being wiped when it should.
good luck
last night i broke down and trashed out carbon , Witch I liked very much (after having it on for only 4 hours),
Dispite not being able to install Gapps no matter what version I used.:silly:
Repartioned twice, as well as wrote the usa firmware back 3 times ( after fudging /mount multiple times selecting a incorrect firmware file).
and put it back to pure stock. GPS still didnt work.
left gps status app running for the night on my desk just for kicks , After 5+ hours it managed to get a gps signal
crashed the gps app and then magicly the gps is working again.
i am probably too scared to go back to carbon or another firmware
What are the chances this would happen again if i re flashed back to carbon again ?
Don't know, but if I had to guess, unlikely if you follow the directions.
