I can't tell for sure.
I flashed Cyanogen's 3.9.1 on Radio 2.29, and it seemed to be working fine, so I didn't mess with it. I flashed ROM 3.9.2, and I missed two calls no ringing, just missed call and voicemail notifications. So, I thought the right radio would solve. It did, afaik.
When I was using terminal emulator to try a new userinit.sh to help effectively increase my RAM (not technically, but that's what it said it would do in effect) I'd type su and just get a dollar sign, and of course nothing worked.
I reflashed ROM 3.9.2 and it seems to work now, but without the swapping my phone is like a ball and chain it's so slow except for about a minute when I close all apps but a few I've excepted (yes, I have too much on it).
Would flashing the 2.29I radio after flashing a ROM hose proper root access? If it wasn't that, can anyone clue me in?
Flashing radio has no effect on root access. Try wiping and starting fresh or wait for cyanogen to release 3.9.3 which is sometime soon and start new from there. (wipe, wipe ext partition)
Thanks for the quick response
I just did since I had a userinit.sh, I hosed my flash to 3.9.3, I did flash to 3.9.2 and got my Root, or whatever, back, but it was just so weird I had to ask why it happened.
Lol okay cool.

Must be something in 3.9.3 to loose it... But I can't see anything that would cause a problem, very odd.
Ok so i finally rooted my phone and got cyanogen working great, but now im having a issue downloading anything from the market ie dolphin pandora ebuddie...u get the idea. like i said everything works fine on my phone i just cant download from the market. i wiped my device and reflashed cyanogen back on there with the 10 mb hack this time but still nothing starts downloading. like i can pull it up and it says it started but it doesnt go anywhere from there. any suggestions? thanks
mine does this at times, dont know why.
if i set up a bunch of stuff to download, then reboot the phone, they start downloading.
I've had this problem before, with downloads stalling and never starting.
Possible fixes:
-Open up Gtalk and log in. Sounds weird but I've heard reports of it working
-Try booting into recovery, going into the terminal, and running the fix_permissions.sh script (alternately, if you're running Amon_RA's recovery at least, there should be an option in the recovery menu for 'fix APK UID mismatches' - try this as well)
Last time I had this problem I ran fix_permissions and all was well
Phone won't allow me to pull up gtalk when I tap it it goes back to the front screen , as for fix permissions I did that and nothing still the same problem, do u think if I unroot my phone and start over will everything work then?
NEvermind i unrooted my phone nad rooted it again and everything is working fine now, but thanks for taking the time to look over my post

That happens a lot, with multiple roms, even stock.
I just do what the other post said, reboot.
I reboot the phone and they just start by themselves.
All is good, but then, out of nowhere, it happens again.
Rinse, Reboot, Repeat...
Someone mentioned a while ago it was possible a server outage in your area at the time of d/l.
Rooting is definitely the way to go. Stock is soo blah and dull, lol.
To each their own though. The point is rocking the android...
Gave my old LG Revo to a buddy, things POS, but its all he has at the moment. Anyways, I had a version of Ginger-volt rom on there, and it was acting up, so I was just gonna update everything and put the last version that came out on it, or go with whatever the newest most stable rom is....So I booted into CWM and did a nandroid back up, then wiped everything, cache, dalvik, etc etc, booted up fine, went through some stuff, then i went back to restore the back up i just made cause he forgot to tell me about some game data he wanted backed up.....
So anyways, i restored it, wiped the cache, then rebooted, and yea, then it went into boot loop, at first it was between the LG Logo and the Boot Animation, but now it just suts at the LG Logo for quite awhile, like 10min, and then restarts, and does it over and over. And I try and hold down Power and Vol-Down, but it doesn't work, can't get into recovery. So Need some help here. I've tried all the old tricks I remember from my LG Revo days, but nothing has worked thus far. Is there a way to like boot into something like ODIN and just flash the Stock Firmware. Like RSD-Lite maybe ? Can't remember if that was Moto only....Think it may have been lol
remembered about the exitrecover.zip thing did that, put sdcard back in phone, booted, holding down power and vol-dwn, and it worked, flashed the .zip and then rebooted, now its doing it once again. WTF. I want this thing back to Stock, and then I am gonna root it and flash a new rom. but before that obviously i need to fix this first. Can someone help me at all. I know there isn't a lot of people left on this forum.

Try the LG restore tool i think its LGPSNT or something like that, but you need a .TOT, and the you can reroot, flash a recovery, and install an updated ROM, gingervolt is OLD

well i fixed that stuff on my own, couldn't get anyone to respond so I just went based on what I remember, like i said, it's been awhile since i used that phone
BUT NOW ! I got a whole other issue, and its a lot more F'd up, and I have never dealt with this before, so I am just wingin it on what i've tried so far. But i've hit a wall. So after restoring everything and getting Broke-Out rom back on there and everything, I noticed after a lil bit that it had the No Sim-Card icon in the status bar, and couldn't make a call. Then it hit me, and i didnt wnna say it outloud just in case i was wrong, so looked at About Phone>Status, and yep, Completely zero'd out, IMEI/MEID etc etc. I have no idea what to do. I tried following that guide on here but that program DFS or whatever, I entered my IMEI number in this program and hit "Write" and now its in my phone, so i know its communicating with my phone, but that still didnt fix it, I am missing the HEX number, and where it is located on the phone behind the battery, has been complketely rubbed away, so i cant read it. I don't know if Verizon will tell me what the number is, and I didnt wanna call them cause what am I supposed to tell them, not that we care about the warranty on this phone cause its pretty much on its last legs anyways, but i dont wanna cause any problems on my account, cause I know verizon is pretty anti-custom development,
So any ideas on what to do ?
Anyone ? Any suggestion on how to go about fixing this ?
ok, so i was trying to root my sprint htc one, and everything was going, ok. i unlocked the bootloader simple enough. then i wanted to back up the data, before i tried putting roms on it. well twrp kept saying i only had about 34 mb of space which made no sense since i had formatted it, and only brought back things like contacts and texts. when i checked my phone it said that i had 24gbs. so i couldnt find an answer to this anywhere so while looking through twrp i saw the wipe function. not having seen anything about it, i said, maybe if i reformat it again, itl clear up. so i hit wipe all. well after it was done it only said i had 1.2 gbs, so still confused i went to load my normal os, well i cant. because wiping everything meant the system data the os is on. i spend hours trying to find a fix, as im only able to go between the bootloader and twrp, and i see a sideload option, and after following the steps, i attempt to sideload. everything is going well. Viper looks like its about to install, until at the last second it says install fail. but now i cant even access the recovery menu. literally stuck in the boot loader option. all my contacts and pictures and stuff are backed up, so i have no problem formatting my phone to scratch if it means fixing this, but can anyone point me in the right direction???? i cant find anything on this, ive been searching through this site, and some people with similar issues solve it by sheer luck, but i have no rom back up(since i was trying to do that when i got into this problem) please please help!!!
**edit** i was able to get into twrp by using the recovery steps, though im just back to square 1. is there a guarenteed reliable sideloader that can work?
Look HERE
Try the latest RUU first if it does not work follow the guide from the beginning it will get you fixed up.

Do you still have the memory issue? If so, try running a RUU, and see if that fixes your problem.
If not, just use adb sideload to sideload a ROM. Then wipe everything except internal storage and install the ROM normally.
EDIT: Looks like @BD619 ninja'd me XD
BTW sideload very rarely works when you wipe your sdcard.

hey thanks for the reply. i followed the guide and after some effort, everything seemed good, but when i was trying to load 5.03 sense 6 rom, i got to the htc start up, then it defaulted back to the bootloader..i went with the deodex version of the download, should i try the odex? or a different version all together?
and now it doesnt want to boot into recovery mode either! going to try redoing the steps, but i just cant figure out what the problem is
**edit* i cant fix twrp. the title loads, but thats it. endless loop
ok i got it to seemingly work. restoring content now. sat in fron of my pc for 15 hours...not even sure where imat or if i got any closer to rooting..smh..thank you everyone who helped. if anyone comes across this
to get out of the endless cycle of recover/loading screen.. delete your twrp, or whatevs your using. even if you have the latest, just redownload it. worked for me. i guess there is a huge difference between the odex and the deodex.i had figured deodex was a more refined version, but maybe it had more complicated software. in any case, if you are at a point where you dont have a base os, and you make it this far, go with odex, it worked for me. htc is big on back up, so i was more worried about having to scrap my phone then i was regaining data, especially with most of my stuff backed up to google drive. hopefully you guys are careful.
now...about this backup issue i had in the first place. how can i fix the storage issue? i have a 32 gb phone minus partition leaves me with over 24gb..why is it going based off the separate phonememory slot? why cant i change it?
Can't figure out how to disable it asking for the PIN at initial boot.. I'm returning to Tmobile(JUMP).. I'm assuming they'll have a problem with this. I miss good 'ol odin , just flash stock. Any info or help to get it back to stock would be appreciated, it's been well over a year since I've rooted/unlocked and I'm going to start restoring tonight.
Odin?!?! With Nexus devices you can use fastboot which is much more powerful than Odin.
Here are factory images for Nexus devices and on the page are included instructions on how to return to stock.
its a google security feature. even if you factory reset 10 times, itll still ask for your pin. just enter it, then you can change it. or did you steal the phone? btw, thats why its there, so no one can steal your phone, factory reset it, then use it.
Thanks for the input.. didn't know it was a google feature, was thinking it was something with the rom I installed since it started around that time(cataclysm). Anyway.. I got it figured out.. downloaded stock image and ran the flashalll.bat .. sheesh that was easy.

the only issue others could have is flash-all not working. to get around that, you just flash each part separately.
