ok, is there ANY POSSIBLE WAY to downgrade from the leaked firmware we had to flash for the RUU back to the stock one that came with the phone?
this phone has been utter garbage ever since i've done it (7 hour battery life, down from 15-17 hours...random reboots ALL THE TIME etc) and i'm sick of it, to the point where i'm ready to sell the phone and get something else.
is there ANY way to go back?
It is possible but as far as I know you'll need s-off
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda premium
well crap. here's hoping they get a nice method that's proven to work, because i need to drop this crap firmware. these reboots are reaaaaaaally annoying me. just had two within 10 minutes.
unless you have s-off there isnt.
but you should try reflashing the RUU.
I know youve probably heard this so many times but i cannot stress how important it is that you let it finish.
and then install a ROM and you should be fine
poison, i've reflashed the RUU three times already. the initial time, where it hung at the white htc screen after 10 min, i battery pulled, rebooted, and let it finished...
then the second time where it didn't hang, and a third time where it didn't hang, and it went through everything twice.
nope you're stuck here for now... but have you tried doing a full wipe and starting from scratch? I know plenty of people are using the latest leak firmware without any significant issues.
yeah man, i wipe it all..data,cache,dalvik,system,boot etc
my buddy did the leaked firmware and gets like 7 hour battery life too, when both of us got 17 hours pre-leak firmware. so it's not just me
Go back to the Inc for now I'm honestly thinking of it lately, feeling a bit nostalgic of Sense 2.1.
i used my inc with stock sense 1.5 from the froyo upgrade..it was so fast and apps opened instantly. damn good phone!
Or run a gb Rom....all you need to do is flash the sd card fix after installing the Rom and you are good to go. I was having some heat issues before on ics and my phone acted funny , went back to gb and my phone is back to being perfect.

Give SebastianFM's kernel a shot. Its been working amazing for me. Most of the weird issues I had were gone after wiping caches and flashing that kernel. I kinda made my own Senseless ROM out of the first couple ICS leaks - its still mostly based off the first 4.0.1 leak, but its playing very nicely with Sebastians kernel.
I find that the kernel generally has much more influence on things like charging, heat, performance, battery life, etc., than the ROM does.
hmm...is there a way to go back to the stock kernel incase it F's things up? cuz i know nils' rom,w hich i'm running now, boots you back to bootloader to install it..
maybe i'll give it a shot. does it help with the constant 1.5 ghz processing speed with screen on?
and are you on new firmware?

yeah, if you're using Nils ROM, it has the boot.img inside the PH98IMG.zip file. So you can open the zip, find PH98IMG.zip, and extract boot.img from it. That is your backup of the kernel that comes with Nils' ROM. You can re-flash this from fastboot if you need it later.
Then, using your file manager, go to /system/lib/modules and make a backup of the .ko files in there, as these are specific to the current kernel. If you do end up rolling back to the stock kernel, you'll need to also go back and restore these modules to get wifi working again with the original kernel.
After you've backed up your modules (just save them to a folder on your SD card or something) just flash Sebastians kernel from recovery. It will then reboot to bootloader and flash the kernel, just like you're used to with your ROM install.
Oh, and yes Sebastians kernel does scale correctly. I use setCPU profiles to set the frequencies I want, and while the min/max frequencies do still jump around all over the place in between the range I've specified, watching the current frequency shows that it does scale in between min and max correctly.
**edit
Also, I'm on hboot/firmware 2.11 from the last OTA. I have not installed the leaked firmware.
thanks man! i'd thank ya but i already used my 8 today lol...so i'm on new leak firmware, would that still work with this kernel then?

I have no way to say so for certain since I haven't flashed that firmware - but this kernel works the best of all the rest so far on my phone. The kernel is based off the kernel FROM the leak though, so my guess is you should have no issues at all.
sweet! thanks, i'll give it a shot soon!

The Problems you've been having sound a lot like the ones I have too. Sebastian's kernel made my phone run real hot. I would stick with either the stock ICS kernel or wipe and flash a GingerBread ROM. I flashed Ineffabilis 1.4 the other day and ran it for a couple days. My phone never hit over 90F. On most of the ICS ROMS my phone would jump over 100F most times

Okay I've posted about this before, but still can't figure it out...
My issue is this: When I install a GB rom, everything runs fine until my screen goes off.... its even fine if it goes off for a second, but if it sits for more than one second it reboots. A full reboot. I've tried both GB kernels, as well as MR 2 and 2.5. I've also tried using setcpu to set the minimum all the way up to 1.4GHz with no help.
Can someone help me fix this screen off issue? PLEASE?
Seems to have something with the dip in processor speed because when my phone is downloading from the market or signing in to google, or doing anything for that matter... the problem doesnt occur.
I don't really accept that I can't use Gingerbread because of this... there HAS to be a fix.
Thanks yall
What gingerbread roms have you tried? Also, what kernels were you using?

don't have this issue on Synergy 3.0 running the latest ziggy kernel
I've tried every GB rom on here, as well as both kernels
also, Ziggy kernel? You in the right section?
I would try wiping, then installing the setup in my signature, but don't restore any apps at first or sync with Google so they're downloaded automatically. I think that you've got an app and a kernel that's interfering with one another. Try the ROM bone stock before you start restoring apps and see if the problem is there.

when you say both kernels are you referring to the radios? cause mr2 and mr.5 are radios not kernels

I share your pain with this exact problem. I have been doing all types of testing these last two days to see if there is any combination of ROMS and Kernals that would work for me.
I can flash any ROM I want, and the only Kernal that I can successfully use is this one:
Imoseyan GB Stock Kernal
With this Kernal, I can use my phone all I want, let the screen go black, hit the lock screen button and I have never had a reboot.
I have run Thunderstick, BAMF 2.1, BAMF 3.0, Gingertheory, with this kernal and it will run fine.
When I change to any of these Kernals, I get the constant reboots when my screen goes off, just like the OP described.
* Imoseyon Lean Test
* Imoseyon 184mhz
* Imoseyon USBfix
* Imoseyon 2.5.3 test 7
* Nerozehl's dreamkernal 2.3.2
Of course, when flashing any ROMS and Kernal combinations, I would do a complete wipe before doing so. I should also mention that I am using MR2 radio. I can also use MR2.5 with the GB Stock Kernal and it runs fine.
So like the OP, it seems to be something to do with the kernal that my phone does not like and can't figure out. Anything other than the stock kernal, and my phone will constantaly reboot after the screen goes black.
I should also mention that I have used the speektweah.sh in terminal emulator and tried all of the different voltage settings and it had no effect. Also disabled it and tried using SetCPU and no luck either.
I have also tried all of the ROMS without allowing any apps to update by skipping the google account sign in. So basically all of the ROMS were running in their native state, and the outcome would be the same.
FOR THE OP
Try running the stock kernal and let us know if that works for you. You should just be able to flash it in CWM, reboot and you will know right away if it is working correctly.
The real question I need to figure out is this. What is different about the GB Stock Kernal from all the others that would be having this impact on our phones?
I've tried all of this except installing the above kernel. I'll give that a shot, thanks.
As for installing without apps, I've tried that. Tried everything. Lets hope the stock kernel works!
I've been running Das BAMF Gingerstripped with Imo's kernel and never had this issue. It sounds like maybe something is bad with the cpu profiling becoming unstable when screen-off profiles kick in.

I can confirm that this one worked for me too. Synergy 3.0 running Ziggy's Kernal and everything works well.
Anyone know where to grab just the Kernal? Can't seem to find the latest download.
I should also add, that when I do flash the Stock GB kernal so that my ROM will be stable.... my camera freezes everytime I try to take a picture. Happens in every ROM I mentioned above. However, it works fine before I flash the stock kernal.
running "stock kernel" it looks to be fixed. Looks like I tried this before as I already had the file but.... works now for some reason
Thanks.

hi, i have a 3d evo with s-on & h-boot 1.50 and i used gui to flash silver needle & went to recovery to flash viper rom and the phone keeps rebooting and i have read other posts and tired to flash other kernals & roms and nothings working. even tired to use my friends phone and tired to use his back-up but didn't work. any new ideas?? thanks in advance
My Evo 3D has been doing this consistently with the new kernel from the OTA update (I use MeanROM though), but I have seen others on Stock report the same.
It was doing it annoyingly constantly every couple hours when I would just not actively use it.
Now though it has settled down a bit and I'm wondering if it's not a bug but a feature? Because almost like clockwork every night it will reboot on it's own late at night. if I'm using the phone..it won't do it..but it seems to wait for a period of long idle time or something.
I have only had this issue on Kernel 2.6.35.13. Check and see if that is your kernel version as it's the newest one that is blazing smooth and fast (stock) and why I have chosen not to flash another kernel over it yet.

i can't tell what kernel on here, its i flashed silver needle and then the rom and it nevered booted up.
I had the same problem using ROMs from XDA. Found that I used RUU to back to stock and it stopped. Haven't had a single reboot since I went back to stock where I would get reboots constantly, to the point the phone was useless.
Since I have S-Off, used the root patch to get root access, but only can be done with S-off...

i tried to do the ruu step and none of the verisons workked, anybody have anymore ideas?? this is were i downloaded the ruu's from for sprint http://www.filefactory.com/f/4ef0ef536face67a/
I bought a Rezound on ebay, pre-rooted/unlocked with the leaked ICS / Sense 3.6 ROM (besides that, pretty much bone-stock)
I decided I wanted to try out a different ROM and make sure I am familiar with the process before I try to do the S-OFF process....
Well, I found that the first thing I needed to do to upgrade to (insert ICS/Sense 4 Rom here) was to upgrade to the newest Firmware (3.11.605.22), and I am currently on 3.11.605.01 ... I followed their instructions closely to update the firmware ( re-lock , load new FW as PH98IMG.zip , flash it , unlock, etc)
Well, that didn't work for me, when I got to loading up hboot and it automatically updating the FW, it didn't do what the instructions said it would, it showed a dark blue bar near the top/right, waited for that to complete, then same thing but yellow, that completed and asked to reboot, but would only reboot to fastboot...
eventually I unlocked it again and it allowed me to return to my ROM (normal ICS/sense 3.6)
Sorry about this short story... lol ^
Basically I cannot for the life of me install any rom with success... I can't even restore the nandroid I made last night (before any of this) with success..
the CLOSEST thing to success I got was installing newts One XxX sense 4 rom, it booted, and will sit on the lock screen just fine, but when I try to unlock and go to settings to turn off animations (like instructed) it will freeze and reboot....
DO I need to install the newest FW???
OR what do I need to dooo?
Pls help! I am fairly familiar with android, as I had a D Inc before this, evervolv ICS etc etc....
Thanks alot anyone !

If you want to go back to a GB rom you need to reflash the boot image that came with it. If you want a sense 4.0 to work you need to flash the old firmware patch. For the patch I have attached it. Flash it via recovery and your rebooting on a sense 4.0 rom/ new firmware rom should be gone. (don't forget to follow the OP for Newts rom about disabling animations btw) for the boot images look to the op of the rom you are running.

Do you know by chance any good kernels for an ICS/Sense 4 ROM?
the stock one was draining faster than it was charging (while plugged in lol)
So I tried out the 1.836 OC kernel and it seems to be working fine, but I am interested more in battery life than performance right now, coming from the DInc, this phone is buttery smooth and doesn't REALLY need OC just yet (for me anyway)
Thanks for the help by the way!
Hi, it has been awhile since I have posted but I have been reading the forums and trying to keep up with things on my 3D. I have since un-rooted my 3D and have returned it to latest stock OTA updates. I did this because I was planning on maybe going to the next greatest phone
My question is pretty simple and involves the process of updating to the ICS when it becomes available...hopefully soon from what I am hearing. Anyways, Would it be best if I deleted any programs I have installed from the play store now? I mean just in case there are conflicts? Or should the update delete them and not reinstall them?
Please be kind...LOL!!!
If you want to update to ICS right now, by using the unofficial leaks, you'll have to re-root and install it that way. This would wipe all data on the phone when installing the new rom. No need to remove apps or data now or anything, but it's always a good idea to back up things you want to keep, just for safe keeping.
If you want to wait for the official ICS, I'm fairly certain that it will also wipe all data and apps on your phone, as it'll need to install a new firmware, which wipes all data on the phone.
No need to remove any apps and such before updating, as they'll automatically get removed anyways.
When you update, you can just install the apps again.

Thanks Moon for the reply to this weak at best question...LOL!!! I can just remember at one time when I was flashing and stuff, that the user installed stuff just re-downloaded and installed on its own. I can;t remember if there was an opt out for that or not. I was just curious and like I said a pretty weak question but a great response. Thanks
Also note, if you use the unofficial ICS that everyone is basing their ROM's off of, you won't be able to go back to GB. you are stuck on ICS, but you can flash other ICS roms, just can't go back to Gingerbread.

This has been my experience with OTA's as well. It seems that the user installed programs would automatically re-install and like I said there was an opt out at one time but I was not sure that it still existed.
I have a few odd ball programs mostly to do with fishing and stuff, like fishing status etc. and If I see or read that ICS is in fact ready to drop, I will probably go ahead and delete all user installed programs and return to full stock just in case. I have not heard of any problems with older programs on ICS but then again we don;t have the official so who knows.
Anyways thanks for not bashing me on this...:silly:

I've relocked my phone and used the RUU to go back GB twice now pretty easily. I think the issue was if you updated your firmware with the ICS leak, not the ROMs based on the leak.

Really?
I haven't actually tried it, but I read a few places that once you go to ICS via a ROM based on the leak, you are stuck on ICS ROM's.
Just to note, I've read this on the CDMA development area. Hmm, I'll have to try going back just to see myself, I like ICS, personally, but having options to go back is never a bad thing.
I very thoroughly apologize if this has been asked and discussed before, but apparently my search skills aren't the best. Anywho, her's the issue.
I've used a number of different ROM's since I first got my DNA back in January. I've used older Tranquil releases. But anything after 2.1 I believe it was, I haven't had WiFi. I have it just fine with all other ROM's. But no matter what I do for Tranquil (even up to and including RLS 4.2), there's no WiFi connection. It says it's trying to find sources or something and eventually errors out. I have no idea what the problem is. If I go back to 2.1 or 2.0, WiFi works great. This kind of sucks as I really enjoyed the earlier Tranquil releases and would like to continue using them. I'm currently using NOS m7's latest release for 4.1.2 (couldn't get their 4.2.2 release to work for some reason, just sat at the HTC screen for over 30 minutes, even after wiping the entire phone and attempting to sideload).
Anyway, if someone can tell me how to get WiFi to work on Tranquil releases after 2.1, that would be awesome. And again, I apologize if this has been covered before. I tried posting in the official thread but my lack of post count keeps me from doing so.

I've used this same cord to ADB push and sideload while in Recovery before. Plus it reads just fine when the phone is on as normal. Wouldn't that make it fine? (Note: Not being sarcastic or anything, genuine question. I know how things can be misinterpreted over the 'net so I kinda like to point out how I mean things.)
Edit: I got it to work so far. I'm reflashing back to complete stock now. Apparently a driver wasn't installed for it to be detected in Fastboot. I'll post back after I get back to stock, completely update to newest, and reflash Tranquil RLS4.2.
So I got everything installed, running again, latest updates, reunlocked, TWRP back on, flashed RLS 4.2... No WiFi still... What am I doing wrong here?
Edit: NOS M7 3.0.4 is doing the same thing it was before, also. It's not even getting passed the HTC screen, no matter how long I let it sit. This is quite frustrating. I put M7 2.0.3 back on and everything works as it should. Anyone have an possible solutions?

Other than being rooted with the custom ROM, it's whatever the normal S is (can't remember off the top of my head). I rooted and tried the Moonshine thing but it never took (on stock 2.06) so I just went through and reunlocked with my original packet from the HTCDEV website and went about things that way.
Ok, it's an easy fix. When you flash from recovery you are getting the rom, but not the kernel information. I assume you've probably been having bad battery life also. The only way to falsh a kernal s-on is with adb push, or with a hboot flashable where it goes all the way back to the white screen. if you download the all in one kit I think you can use that to push a kernel easily. I can never remember the adb commands. I think they suggest beaups kernel for that rom. Go ahead and download the two, and pm me if you need any more instruction.

You're right. My battery life has been absolutely terrible. I can get maybe 6-8 hours until I'm at 30% or under, and that's not doing anything. Much less if I actually want to do anything with the phone. I'll give those two links a look. Thanks. :good:
Edit: So, I've noticed it's now S-On and the kernel isn't showing on the device. I copied the .zip over to the main directory where I always do, and it's not showing on the phone. But it shows just fine in Windows.
Edit again: Got it to flash using Sideload. Before I do anything else, is it okay to now flash RLS4.2 and see if WiFi works? Now that that's on there, it should be good, right? Or do I need to flash RLS4.2 and then reflash this kernal?
Yet another Edit: It took me a while, but I noticed a LOT of things were missing on the phone after flashing the 2.06 kernel. The one that made me notice was FaceBook. And Google Play Store wasn't there anymore, either. I've reflashed to Digital Dream 2.2 and everything is back to normal. This is really frustrating.
Pm me when you're working on this again I think there are a couple things that are confusing.

I finally got it to connect.
I was running DigitalDream 2.2 while trying to figure this all out. I ended up getting S-Off and reflashing. For me to S-Off while already on DigitalDream 2.2, I used the first part of the Mooshine Method (downloading their 2.06firmware zip file, flashing that, rebooting) then used the FacePalm method. That successfully got me S-Off. I noticed that even on DG2.2 after that, I had no WiFi. So I decided to try flashing Tranquil 4.2 and now I have WiFi working. Hope this helps anyone that has the same issue I did.
