[Q] Not receiving texts, because of bad restore? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Yeah, that is the best solution, unfortunately it's cumbersome

Yeah, I figured I'd have to flash a sense Rom and do a prl update or something. I'll try later and let you guys know.

You are welcome! I am glad you got it working!

What sort of set up are you running there?
Stock, non-rooted N1? Or did you upgrade to FroYo over an existing install using Paul's zip? Any applications installed? When is the phone freezing?
Would love to help, but I think we're going to need a little bit more information from you first.

Previously rooted N1 back to stock rom prior installing froyo from Paul's direct install file for rooted N1 because I lacked stock recovery image.
Basic apps installed like ebuddy news apps etc. didn't install anything different from old install.

Ive been reading a lot on xda and didnt notice this occurring in pther phones thats y i decided to open a new thread.
Any help is appreciated thanks!

Did you wipe? If not, usually a wipe helps. I wiped and have not had a single issue of FC...Freezing or anything. I went from Enom to Wipe to Paul's Zip with Radio.
I have the same problem. Until now the screen stayed black after the other party ended the call. Had to pull battery 3 times.
Problem exists even after reflashing, wiping and clearing storage.
Im om pre-rooted frf50 from paul. Gonna try with an older radio..

does it work?
Im having similar issues with my 2.2 installation. I have it installed on my wife's non-rooted N1.
Not just that but the market is not even usable. Even if I clear cache.
Again, her phone is not rooted, I wipped everything from her phone then applied Froyo and its been a nightmare. Her phone isn't even stable enough to use and I cant seem to figure it out.
I need to find a way back to 2.1 without having to root her phone. She is adamant about me not doing that to her phone even though Ive rooted all the phones I've ever used with no issues.
I was having the same problem on my N1. Started suddenly two days after the manual upgrade to 2.2. The phone would either freeze to a black screen or sometimes the live wallpaper would continue but the phone was unresponsive even to the power button. Needed to pull the battery to restart.
It stopped after I:
* Turned off live wallpaper
* Uninstalled LauncherPro Beta
* Removed the Pure Calender Widget (was broken after 2.2 update anyway)
* Charged the battery (was down to below 10% when it started happening repeatedly).
Anyone one of them (or none of them) could have been the culprit. My guess it was one of the last two (PureCalender or battery) but haven't had time to troubleshoot it. Try some of these and see if it helps.
Ive tried all that on her phone. I just wiped it again completely and re flashed just in case that was the issue. Phone still had all the issues described in this thread.
I wiped the sd card, wiped all previous system files via the stock recovery and re flashed the update zip. You cant get anymore clean than that and its still so unstable the phone its unusable. I have to either hope soft booting works or pull the battery as a last ditch.
Is there any way I could downgrade her phone to 2.1 without rooting? I tried the shipping rom in the sticky above but it seems that isn't totally legit for stock use because the phone doesn't like how its signed.
I guess I could call google/htc tomorrow but who knows where that'll get me. The only bonus iud that her phone is not rooted so she didn't really have her warranty voided.

I was worried if I was the only one with this problem. Phone improved today (3rd day of using) but I didn't do anything to it. Only hanged once when someone called. Hanged on calling in screen and had to pull battery.
Only once compared to 7 times yesterday!

Yes until now it does. Sometimes the power button is reacting a little late but i havent had to pull the battery yet with the older radio.
You might want to download it again and flash that to see if you had a corrupt download. First copy all data from the sd and partition it. Just make everything fat. I havent used the stock recovery in ages so I cant recall if you can partition from there, if you cant, do it on the pc. Wipe everything that the stock recovery can wipe. Then try to flash your new download of the update. You can do this fairly quickly and its worth a try before you go through the process of reverting to 2.1.

I'll give this a shot when I get home from work. I'll report back on if it works or not. Thanks for the idea.
Interesting, not that I'm complaining, but after a few days of using 2.2 it seems more stable now....? haven't had any freezes today...yet.
Power button response also getting better.

Older radios are not 100% compatible.

[Q] Not getting SMS (fixed)

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
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
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....
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
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

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.

[Q] HELP!!!!

Ok, so I have a rooted Nexus One with cyanogen 6.0rc3 on it. I recently tried to put cyanogen 6.1 on it so I could upgrade to 7.0. Then, I see the common glitch where there is no market so I revert back to my old rom which I made a backup for(using ROM Manager). So here comes the hard part, when it restores my ROM, have no apps, no nothing which I downloaded, and I tried to restore again, because ROM Manager reinstalled, but I didn't get anything. Can some tell me how to get my data and all my stuff back, please?!?!?!?! If I don't get help by the end of the month, my service gets cut off, so I really need help!!!! Please help guys, thanks in advance, you guys are the bomb!!!!

What's that supposed to mean? You lose service because you don't have the data on your phone restored?
Are you using apps2sd?
I feel like you have no chance of restoring anything at the moment though.
If you have a custom recovery, just wipe and start again, or restore your backup... Make sure you have a gapps package that is compatible with your ROM...

All your apps will be in the market under 'my apps' and as long as you have synched with Google servers all your data should be retrieveable by re-synching.

You don't need to go to cm6.1 to get to cm7. Even on 6.1 you need to do a full wipe anyway to eliminate any potential problems.
Also did you happen to use CWM 3.0?

Wifi / rebooting / charging issues

OK my wife has a tmobile 4G streak7, she is having some issues.. Her Wifi keeps turning off for what seems to be no reason. Also it seems to reboot spontaneously. The latest issue she is having is her Streak will stop charging and not recognize the cable plugged in use until you finally force it to reboot.
She is running an update rooted version of the official honey comb. I am running the same ROM just rooted.

Those are just bugs of the Honeycomb build that some of us have that were never solved. My best advice is to just flash stock recovery and do a factory reset from there. If that doesn't help flash the ROM again
thank you, she is not going to like taht information, But I had a feeling.

My best advice is to naturally back up all your apps with Titanium or MyBackUp Pro.... if she has a gmail account then all her contacts will be there automatically
With MyBackUp Pro you can also backup all your text messages I believe.
But it's honestly not that bad of a deal. The whole shebang takes only about 30 minutes between flashing and restoring everything to how it was

**** NO..... the stock build unrooted was crap, and once I rooted it I started having troubles, and I'm not gonna use an unrooted ROM
