Your phone will remain unlocked. You can master clear on whatever rom you are on - it justs basically reflashes the rom you are on, and erases all of your data such as apps and other things on your sd card.

plus, what do u mean by reflashes the rom i am on? suppose i am on miui. does that mean i won't be going to stock rom?

Assuming you mean the external sd card, yes. Files such as pictures, videos, or other documents but apps that you save to your sd card may behave badly. I've never tried transferring apps like that. Not sure what with happen with them. If you have apps,, you may want to try Titanium Backup to keep them. Things on your internal sd card will be removed when you master clear.
I am trying to install the revolt 1.5 rom onto my revolution. Everything seems to go exactly as planned, but then it doesn't read the sim card -- i tried removing and reinserting multiple times. I go back to recovery and reload my backup to my phone and the sim card is read and works perfectly. I tried the revolt 1.4 also just in case it would make a difference. But I have the same issue on both. Anyone able to help?
Can you access files on your SD card through a file manager? I had a problem where my phone wouldn't scan my sdcard for media files so my music program would say no SD card inserted. If you can access files with a file manager, try downloading "rescan media" from the market.

well, its not the SD card that is having the problem... it sees the sd card just fine... its the SIM card -- the one that it uses to activate and get afccess to lte.... that is what is not being detected, so it just won't activate because it says no sim is inserted.
Oh, duh, sorry, can't read today. Wish I could help with that :-(

I am curious though, are you coming from the v6 or v7 update? I believe you need to downgrade to v4 if that's the case to use the revolt roms (someone more knowledgeable than i please confirm that).

Yeah I have the V7 update... I thought it was supposed to work... but it definitely doesn't. I went ahead and just installed the gingervolt ROM and it works perfectly. I just wish there were some more roms for this model of phone! ha ha.

You need to reflash the tot. Your radio firmware and system software are out of sync. Revolt is for froyo.

howd you upgrade? this almost sounds like you flashed an ICS ROM without first flashing ICS Hboot
i did it ota update from the vivid is there something more that i needed to do?
probably not. 2 things i would try..
1) remove sd card and try to boot
2) run ruu (assuming your bootloader is locked)
ok so i removed the sd card now its working fine there is no reboot so do you think it's a app causing this problem?

If at all possible id say your sd card will have to be reformatted before it will work correctly again in the vivid running ICS.
i was wrong it rebooted again without the sd card should i factory reset or any other solutions?
..
Yea if the OTA broke you, I'd suggest running trying a factory reset, and if that doesn't work try running the RUU (you're stock unrooted anyway right)? The RUU should be available from HTC's site now, but just googe RUU 3.26.502.56 and you'll find it.
Ok, I will try to give as much information as possible and be concise. I've got an LG Revolution (rooted) on Verizon's network. I'm not sure of the system version but I know it's not Gingerbread. It's an LG-VS910. My whole dilemma started when I watched a Youtube video of a guy showing how to boot into CWM. I had installed ROM Manager and (supposedly) flashed CWM (I've booted into it before using ROM Manager). I followed his instructions and ignored the warning about the reset hoping to boot into CWM. The phone reset. The SIM still read fine but I had lost all my data. I had already backed up my data with CWM. I re-downloaded ROM Manager and went into CWM to restore my backups. Everything restored except /system! After I did this my phone would not boot. I then just went ahead and tried installing a stock gingerbread ROM I had on my SD card (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348637) to restore the phone. I flashed this ROM, then restored my data backup. The phone booted just fine and I had all my data, except the SIM card would not read. I tried another factory reset with the power button and the down arrow, and it actually booted into CWM rather than resetting like before. This is where I'm stuck. I've read that the /system folder won't restore if you have a different system version installed. Same with the SIM. I've about done all that I can do. My ultimatum is to be running GingerVolt 2.0. I think at this point I need to find my original ROM but I don't know where to look! Someone please help!!! I don't know what to do!! Also, CWM wont even let me flash ROM's anymore. It'll either be error 0 or CWM will restart when I try an install. I'm not even sure of my current system version, If I go to "About Phone" in the menu it will crash.
EDIT: I just reset it again with CWM, now It'll just show LG then cut off when I try to boot it. Great. Does throwing it against a wall as hard as I can help? It's sooooo tempting.
The main reason why your SIM isn't working sounds like, to me, that you have a software mismatch. Example: I'm on version 9, then flash gingervolt; gingervolt iirc is built around v6/7. Therefore, my SIM is guaranteed not to work.
Use, lgnpst to flash the system for the Rom you want to use. You might have to redo your carrier flash too, if you not on Verizon. At least that's how I see solving your prob.
software/Rom mismatch = no SIM

Oh ok so if I actually flash a .tot with LGNPST, rather than just flashing a ROM, will the .tot replace all the software and make the SIM compatible again?
So does a ROM just flash over existing core software, and a .tot actually replace that software? Do I need to flash the same software version that I had before anything went wrong? Sorry I'm relatively a noob.
A tot will replace everything (android, boot, recovery, radio, etc).
A Rom is just ANDROID.
Flashing the tot will put your phone back to 'out of the box' like new, condition. And yes, if you want to use gingervolt, if that was what you were using, flash the tot for the version you had before.

Hi all,
First time poster; be nice please
I've recently upgraded my HTC Velocity with the CM10 and AOKP mods and both have been working great.
Prior to this, I had the ICS ROM installed which was posted by Leigh Kennedy (if memory serves).
Anyway, the issue I'm having is with both of the JB ROMs above, the SD Card is not detectable at all. When the phone boots, sometimes it will mount, sometimes it won't. When it doesn't mount, I do so manually via Settings > Storage > Mount SD Card.
It will mount successfully, and I can browse through the card via File Explorer (with Root Access), so it's definitely accessible.
However I find that any apps that require SD Card access (ie. Camera, Recording Software, Music even) say that there is no SD Card detected/inserted.
I've tried 3 different MicroSD cards (2GB, 8GB and 32GB (32GB is my main card), and completely wiped them and reformatted to FAT32), no change to the detection issue.
I've also tried to format via CWM in Recovery Mode, which shows to be successful on the format, but no change to the issue.
I initially thought it was the 32GB MicroSD card having the problem, but the same issue replicating on 2 other cards tells me otherwise.
I've completely wiped my phone clean each time (Data, System, Cache and Dalvik Cache), no change to the problem (which funnily enough doesn't make a lot of sense as I can access the SD Card in Recovery Mode perfectly fine?)
Any help with this one is greatly appreciated, as I'm at a loss
NB: My SD Card was working fine on ICS, the issue only started after upgrading to the JB ROMs above.

while the sd not being accessible on your computer is known, you should still be able to access via file browsers and other apps that need access. my camera stores to internal, and Apollo seems to find music on my external without a hitch. Unfortunately it sounds like you've done everything I would suggest, short of trying a Factory Reset

Thanks for the reply homeslice.
I just tried a Factory Reset then, and unfortunately to no avail
I'm surprised that I'm the only person with this particular issue on this phone (I've seen other posts on different handsets with a similar issue, which was deemed to be the SD Card, but in my case all 3 of the ones I've tested have fallen short of fixing the problem).
Got any other ideas? Because I love both ROMs, but the issue with the SD card is more annoying than anything.
EDIT: Ok, just reformatted everything once more, and installed the PAC-Man ROM, still broken.
Whether it's relevant or not, I even partitioned the SD Card to see whether the phone could pick it up via different apps, no chance.
Where did you partition the card and with what software...
I would recommend either using the phone or recovery...

I partitioned the SD card via CWM recovery, twice.
Still don't know what is causing it

OK, so I managed to flash TWRP Recovery successfully (couldn't do it via the Goo Manager, had to flash it manually via adb which was fine).
Sadly, the SD card issue still exists.
One thing I did notice however, with TWRP every time I tried to clear anything (Data/System/Cache/Dalvik Cache/Factory Reset), it came up 'Unable to mount emmc'.
Now I'm not entirely sure what this is, but the only time I have seen it is when loading Bootloader (as eMMC-boot).
Does this have any relevance to my current problem? CWM never used to error out like that.
NB: Having a hard time trying to find a link for download of WCX Recovery (could just be tired from work, who knows), but I'll keep trying.
I am not sure...
Can you make phone calls if your phone boots...
It sounds like you might have lost your efs partition... where your imei lives...
I am not sure how to fix...
I think there is a thread talking about it

Hmm, well the IMEI is still available via About Phone, so not sure if that's the same as what you're referring to.
However, I think I've had a development (not a good one though).
After reflashing CWM I tried mounting and/or reformatting emmc, it's unable to do anything with emmc at all.
When the recovery was TWRP, it didn't like emmc either, so something tells me emmc plus my storage issue are related.
I've done as much as I can think of, short of relocking bootloader and reflashing the RUU for the Velocity (which is currently being downloaded).
Can anyone think of anything else? Or is an RUU flash my absolute last resort?
Thanks for help so far guys, much appreciated.
EDIT: Helps if I actually answer your question rignfool.. lol. Yeah I can do absolutely anything I would normally on this phone with the custom ROM, short of apps accessing storage.
Well.. things have now taken a turn for the worst.
5% into my RUU reflash, ROM Utility crashes and now phone is stuck on an RUU bootloop....
Still trying to work it out, but I get the feeling it's not gonna go well..

Did you relock the bootloader before running the RUU? This is necessary. Also, were you last running an ICS ROM? If you were, you have an ICS boot loader and you need to run an ICS RUU. Lastly, make sure you are in Fastboot USB mode when running the RUU

Yeah, definitely made sure that bootloader was locked/relocked, as I found the RUU kept crashing when it was unlocked (couldn't read any information off the phone, and the phone auto-booted into Fastboot after relocking the bootloader in any case, as it couldn't load the OS).
And no I wasn't running an ICS ROM at the time (per my initial post of running 2 JB ROMs at different times (CM10 and AOKP)).
After a bit of perseverance I got the RUU to go through successfully, and lo and behold the SD Card issue has miraculously disappeared (which isn't overly surprising considering it's gone right back to Factory Defaults and some).
It seems the PC required the Utility to run in Realtime Priority as opposed to Normal.. lol.
I'll now look into reflashing the relevant JB ROMs and post back shortly with results.
WOOHOO! ..... I mean, yeah, it works now. lol
It seems that during the course of flashing the ROMs previously, my phone lost touch with itself; by that I mean it was unable to access it's own Internal Storage and part of it's External Storage (which seems to be part and parcel of the 'emmc' error I was receiving earlier).
Camera loads, Music loads, it all works! :victory:
Thanks for your help homeslice and rignfool, much appreciated.
Now to enjoy those ROMs to their full potential!
On a side note though, have you ever had an issue reported like this on any other handset homeslice? or rignfool for that matter?
The only time I heard of people not being able to access storage like that... was when their imei got wiped...
From what I understand its a clockwork issue

Yeah I did manage to find a working recovery image for wcxrecovery eventually, but I find TWRP a lot better to be honest (CWM and WCX are also good though).
I guess it's just personal preference.
