[Q] Not getting SMS (fixed) - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason I haven't been getting text messages the last few days. It happened to coincide with when I flashed BlackModNov_2, so I restored my back up of CM6.1, but I am still having the same problem.
Anyone else not getting texts? Any ideas of what else I could do?

Are you able to send them? I had this happen once as well....I had to wipe and flash a sense rom, like fresh, then wipe and reflash cm6....keep me posted on your progress

I can send, but not receive, which seems completely bizarre to me. I'll try flashing a sense-based rom and update later. Thanks for the reply.

Sounds just like what happened to me...I def suggest that you do a full wipe of data/system/cache first....then flash sense, then repeat and flash your rom....

check if the mms.apk(the original sms client) is installed, i wasn't able to receive sms without it

I had the same problem after flashing that theme. I ended up having to flash the sprint ruu and regulated rooting ect. Will be staying away from themes for awhile I think

Thanks all
Flashed LiquidSense and I immediately got about 20 texts that I didn't get over the weekend. One thing I learned tonight, not a fan of sense. Back to CM6.1 and SMS is working.

Awesome, I'm glad you got it working! Let me know if you need anything else

HELP!!!

I flashed a new rom to my droid (MIUI rom) and flash a theme to it as well. well to cut a long story short, my droid all it does is constantly reboots. it gets to the eye, then starts to boot up process all over again, any way to fix this, please help.
Thanks very much
You have a backup? If not try wiping a few times and reboot

I tried that and it didnt work
You use rom manager or spcovery? Either way try going into recovery and flash a different rom you have downloaded
Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk
Try a different kernel maybe

it will not sync to market, usually only paid apps will re-sync. IIf you did not wipe data, system, that would cause a problem. Also, try Slayher's kernal, that might help.

[Q] Not receiving texts, because of bad restore?

I recently flashed cm6 coming from aospMod because I had a problem with one of my nandroid restores not restoring properly. (Apps not running right, randomly closing) When I had cm6 running, I stopped receiving text messages. I flashed aospMod again and I still can't receive. I know the text messages are coming to my phone because I can see it connect to 1x real quick as usual. Would it be something with my nandroid restore? I think I have to go back to stock and reroot. And yes, I wiped and blah, blah, blah..thanks ahead of time.

So you wiped/did a factory reset before loading CM6, flashed GApps, and still no texts?
Have you tried CM6.1.0? It's newer than CM6.
Did you load an alternate kernel? That may help.
I'd try starting from scratch. Do a full factory restore, load CM6.1.0, then load this kernel and flash Google Apps and see what happens. Just redid my phone this afternoon with that setup with no issues at all in regards to texts...but all phones are different I suppose...
I have had this happen to me....you will need to flash a sense rom and then CM....hopefully you have a nandroid from before that started, otherwise just flash your rom and kernel if you use a custom one and you should be GTG

Looks like the ROM isn't installed well. Please revert back to stock, and install the ROM again. And hey, please download the ROM again. Sometimes even downloads can be bad, not just installs.
Revert back to stock using the Odin 1-Click back to JH7 then attempt to re-flash.
But - I hear some complaints about DG's latest Cognition build so I would poke around there before deciding to re-flash to see if there are still any issues.
Two sources for that fc that I have found:
1 and least likely is a bad flash. Go back to stock with odin and then reflash the rom. You will have to do this anyway so no big deal.
2 the only way i have encountered this bug is from resorting system data with titanium backup. Only restore user apps unless it its the same rom build as it will always cause nasty bugs and fcs
Just my two cents though

Reflash from stock.
That happened to me the first time i flashed my phone on day one. Went to recovery and wiped user data and problem solved
i think its something with the titanium backup cause
it only started saying force close after i restored all apps + data...
anyway thanks everyone

Yea... I've had that happen before - you should be able to safely re-install APPS ONLY - sometimes things get corrupted (especially for me Launcher Pro) when I tried doing a TiBu backup/restore.

Daaaaaaang, zio threads are hella dead!

WOW! HOLY CRAP THIS PLACE IS DEAD! Its been a while since I read around these Zio places. Yup, my ol Zio still bootlooped (its around here somewhere). I tried all the "guides" n zip's and skd's and all that other.....stuff, its koo gathering and installing stuff and gettin that lil rush of hope, but then one lil thing goes wrong or ain't in the step-by-step guied, BOOM- all bad, and nobody's around all of a sudden. Alot of HERE, TRY THIS POST FROM SO N SO (not for the Zio), GO TO BLAHBLAH.COM install that n profit (evil setup to rom someone's phone AND wipe it clean), BUT ITS ALL MY BAD, NEWBIE like me shouldn't mess with roots n roms. Don't get me wrong, if I can find somebody that would fix it for cash, id go back to my zio and chuck this HALLWIE A2 (whatever its called) to a dev. Well, I'm probly gona get smashed for posting this. DEEEEP BREATH........K, I FEEL BETTER NOW.
Now I'm soo broke I cant even pay attention!
What you need help on? Bootloop fix? I can help you. Pm me on the details. Could you still get into faatboot or recovery? What service sprint or cricket!?

My zio is messed up too. I have no home/launcher or whatever you wanna call it. I can't get to settings to enable usb debugging either so none of the adb stuff works for me (so far). New to this and I don't want to buy another phone just yet. More details can be provided as to how this happened if needed. ty.
Not sure where it is but there was a fast boot zip of launcher apk. If you boot your phone into fast boot and cwm copy the zip to the phone and then flash the zip to your Zio it should resolve the issue

openZIO Rom issue
Hi, I just installed the openZIO 2.1.2 ROM. Everything worked fine, but after rebooting and going through the initial set up (i.e. the google user setup blahblah) the VTL Launcher continually force closes and I can't do anything but go back and recover my original boot.img has anyone else had this kind of issue? Any possible fixes? Any help would be appreciated, I know not to many people are in using the Zio forums anymore... but yeah.. Thanks in advance
Try Reflashing again
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
I've actually already done that, and it's still doing the same thing. I've deleted and re-downloaded the ROM, and re-flashed it to my phone, and still having the same issue. VTL Launcher just continually force closes, and it sucks cause I've been waiting months to get to install the ROM cause I couldn't afford a new USB cord. I've read so much on this ROM and everything for the Zio and was excited to actually be able to overclock my phone, and get some pretty good performance boosts out of it. Now I got one, and can't get it to work.. what a sad day
Could you explain your steps when flashing?
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
well I first move the .zip to the sd, then power down and boot up CWM, and "install from SD card" and once it's finished flashing, I reboot the phone. when it comes back up my kyocera logo comes back up and it takes me through the first-boot programming (google sign-in) and once I input my un/pw and sign in, it tells me that VTL had an error and must hit force close. and once I hit force close it continues to come up saying the same thing over and over again. so I rebooted my phone, still the same thing. SO I go back through and flash it back to my original boot.img. I have gone through and completely deleted the openZIO 2.1.2.zip file and re-downloaded it, and gone through the same steps to see if maybe it was just a bad file somehow. But to no avail, still having the same issues.
After you boot into cwm : wipe cache partition, then go into mounts and storage, format: system, data, cache :then go into advanced and wipe dalvick cache.
Now flash rom
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
Ok just went through with what you had mentioned, and still getting the same results. "Sorry! The application VTL.Launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. with the only option to force close. As soon as I force close, the same message pops up
Have you tryed flashing my rom?
I would try that, and see what happens.
You can always push a launcher with adb or Droid commander.

doing this now actually.. been reading for the last hour or so and seems like you did some good work on the ROM. it's flashing now, hopefully all works well I'm excited to see how it goes.
Well it flashed and well... seems to be having a strange issue.
When switching screens, it seems to glitch out? Like you see the icons, and when you switch screens, it's like the icons move but it freezes different frames. imma re-flash it in the morning to see if that helps any.

Was your phone acting like that before you flashed openzio?

Nope, I've never had these issues before. And I can still flash it back to my original boot.img and it works like before. I've never had any problems with it, so that's why I'm surprised this is happening lol

Vivid bricked by rom toolbox :(

I've used rom toolbox forever now for changing system fonts. Well today I decide to change again. RT was recently updated, and after rebooting to apply the font, my vivid now gets stuck at the at&t animation. Won't go past. I've done several reboots and battery pulls to no avail. My phone is unlocked and rooted, but other than doing those two things I'm a complete noob. I have no idea how to fix this.

If you are rooted i take it you have cwm recovery or something similar. If so boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvic cache. May work may, not let me know

I'm s-on. I wasn't comfortable trying to s-off. I emailed the rom toolbox Dev and the only suggestion he had that was feasible was to flash a new rom. I'm game to try it, I just have no idea how to pick one or install it. Senseless sounds good to me, and one with a better camera would be great. Lte isn't needed, it'll never be available here anyway.
Edit: wiping both cashe did nothing. Still sitting at "rethink possible."

Your just soft bricked. I've done it myself, go messing with something and bam the phone won't boot. It easily fixable by flashing a rom. Actually wiping data might be an even easier fix. I deleted some bloat and caused a boot loop, clearing the cache didn't work either but when I wiped again all is good.

How long is it sitting at that screen? You may want to do a factory data reset. You will lose any settings, app and messages you had but at least you may get booted

OK I had VI installed and running great last night. Got my signal fixed, spent around 5 hours getting my phone back to where it was. I wake up this morning, accidentally dropped my phone and now it doesn't have a signal again...
OK I can get a signal but it's VERY weak, not strong enough for anything really. But this area is notorious for having a crap signal.
