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.
Like I mentioned phone stalls in while in sleep mode. Need to pull battery. Cannot soft or hard reset phone.
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..

Can u post whether flashing with an older radio will help and provide link to the older radio? Thanks! Hope it works for you.

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.

I haven't had any issues for a few days as well. Still wondering if it had to do with the battery level.

Do I have to go back to stock?

I'm sorry if someone already asked this question but I was not able find an answer. I am running a custom ROM now, do I have to go back to stock before flashing another ROM?

It is usually not necessarily to do it but it a very good idea to return to stock and master clear with the odin-1-click
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

No you don't need to go back to stock. Nor is is necessary to master clear. Most if not all the roms on here will do a full wipe of your SD card during the install. Flashing back to stock just adds another chance to mess up your phone. This was advised, several months back but it's not necessary now. This doesn't apply if you want to flash to CM7. They have their own install procedure that is different than anyone elses.

Just to add to what the others said. Make sure u flash a 2.2 based rom over ur curent (if thats what u are.using atm). Also you cant restore system app, it will screw up with ur new rom!

Not what I meant.
If he flashed, lets say, FireFly (which is 2.2 based) then he can't flash over with, lets say, CM7 (which is 2.3 based). Just simple logic
@ OP - You can look on the ROM's thread to see what it is based on.

Thank you for all your help. I'm using Phoenix Ultimate now and want to try out the other ROM.

It takes like ten minutes to odin back to stock. I do it every time, just feels like a cleaner install. Plus all the devs put that in their instructions. I trust the devs.
If you download the CWM update.zip before you Odin to stock and leave it on your phones internal SD card, you don't have to root or get ROM manager. Place your new ROM on the internal card too. Just Odin to stock, allow to boot, and restart into recovery (3 button combo), install updates (twice) then use CWM to install zip from card (ROM you downloaded).

One less time touching Odin is one less time tempting fate. But that's just me. I'm pretty sure every rom dev in here has bricked a phone at least once...

much agreed. less odin. less potential for problems.
roms do a wipe now. doesnt matter what you had on it 2.1 or 2.2
2.3 is the only rom version that has a different partition table.
there is no issue flashing a 2.2 rom over 2.1 or vice versa. how CAN you upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2?? CWM anyone? oh **** right!
the only issue with flashing over 2.2 is the 3e recovery... and thers a fix for that. you dont need to go back to 2.1 to avoid the signature verification error... @crystalhand...

Not all devs put it in their op. Some devs say flash first thru clockwork and only use odin when there are problems. Odin could be better used as a recovery tool only, not the first thing you do whenever you want to flash a new rom. Just my opinion.

EXACTLY as it should be.....

No, odin is potentially more dangerous than any standard rom flash. as has been mentioned, use in case your in some s

I've always flashed back to stock using Odin whenever I flash a new rom. Like someone else on this thread said, it just feels cleaner doing it that way. While I don't doubt you guys when you say it's dangerous, would anyone like to offer a brief explanation as to why that is? And would anyone be willing to guess at what the odds of a permanent brick might be? Are we talking something like 1 in every 10 flashes or more like 1 in 1000?
If it's closer to the first one then we really are playing with fire here but if the odds are more like the second one then I don't consider that much of a risk.

I highly doubt someone is going to give you a "odds" answer. Phones can be finicky and they often do weird things. The less you're "changing" things, the better. Odining back to stock then flashing again to the ROM of choice just adds another chance for something to go wrong. Not just cable falling out or battery falling out, just weird coincidence. When there's absoutely no reason to go back to stock, why take the chance? Just because you're programed to THINK it's cleaner doesn't mean it is. As has been said several times already, most roms do a complete wipe of the sd card so there's really no reason to odin or masterclear.

Odin should only be used as a "Oh S**T I bricked my phone" program. But then again, if you read and know what you're doing than it should never be "needed"

Completely agree just want to clarify 1 thing. The roms don't do a complete wipe of the sdcard. The wipe the /data /cache and /system partitions, leaving the /sdcard completely intact, just like flashing to stock would. Master clear just reformats /sdcard partition and is not really needed as the os doesn't use this to function and including this in a rom would be catastrophic if the zip is in fact on the /sdcard partition you are wiping with it.

The most I do is clear cache, data and disable lagfix.

So you'd just drop the update.zip on your internal drive, drop the ROM in as well, boot into recovery and flash it that way?

Yup. That's how u do it, if you have no need to root before hand and back up, I'm assuming you've done that if I remember right you are the girl I told to brick her phone yesterday to return, is the replacement on eclair or froyo? Ig it on froyo you will have to get past the 3e recovery that's why I ask.

Widgets

Been having problems with my widgets since flashing bk, though to be honest I don't think BK has caused it. Whenever I reboot all of my widgets show problem loading widget. Some other threads have said to check that your widgets aren't on your sd card, which mine aren't. They work alright if I delete them and add them again, but that gets to be a pest, especially when managing 4g.
I'm running Gv 1.3, bk 1.0, and I've got ice cream kangwich, all of which I adore and am really grateful for.
Anyone else encountered this/have suggestions? Tried reinstalling individual widgets, etc.
Thanks everyone

I was having this issue to, but I never really figured out what was causing it. I suspected it had something to do with my clearing the dalvik cache or some other weird crap I was doing. This sounds like a paradox, but after installing BK, I felt like my phone ran faster, but was more prone to getting "bogged down" after awhile, and startup times were painfully slow.
However, I just finished finished removing the supercharger included with GV1.3, and installed the latest version along with a few of the extra tweaks available, and all of these issues have gone away.
Sorry, I realize this isn't that helpful. But you could try doing the same thing...It's definitely worth it; I'm seeing a pretty significant increase in snappiness.

Is the "snappiness" in a form of a 'circle' or 'Z' formation?

Well I've tried everything short of reflashing . Any ideas? I have reinstalled go launcher, reinstalled my widgets etc. Resupercharged. I Tried adw too. Don't want to reflash but I am running out of options. If I do reflash, would want to format everything. Tips for formatting internal? Know I shouldn't do it from settings. Where should I? Just want to start from scratch. Sorry about strange tone, practicing on swift key. So much trouble from some broken widgets. Thanks everyone

Why wouldn't you want to format from within Settings? I've done that before with no issues. Perhaps you're confusing this with not wanting to Factory Reset from within Settings? Because that you definitely don't want to do.
Or perhaps I'm crazy. But I've definitely formatted the internal (and external) sdcards from within the phone Settings. In fact, on one occasion I corrupted my external sdcard, and the only means of formatting that would make the phone recognize it again was formatting it within settings.

!!!! TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!!
!! I post this because it worked for me, 2 of my friends and I did this myself personally with my own pc/software !!
### IMPORTANT NOTE ###
Doing this can BRICK your phone if you don't know or not familar with what I'm doing.
If you're new to this, don'tbother doing it yourself as BRICKING your phone risk would be much higher
------------------------------------------------
I have issues last month when I was using gingervolt 1.3
Issues are
random reboots
reboot when tapping return soft key
no bluetooth at all can't connect to anything
screen freeze
some broken apps/widgets that have to uninstall/reinstall a few times
So I got tired of it and backup all my apps/app data/contacts with " mybackup root " app and put it in my pc
------------------------------------------------
!! IMPORTANT NOTE !!
Before trying to replicate what I did make sure you are able to flash the v7 tot file with LGNST and the phone can reboot otherwise it'll be hard to recover you're phone.
I did this because LGNST works flawless for me everytime so if you had problems w LGNST
!! DON'T TRY THIS !!
------------------------------------------------
After I copied my backup files/data into my pc, i checked the debug mode to make sure it's ON before I booted into CWM
go to "" mount and storage ""
from there I wiped all my data to start clean which include
Wipe cache
Wipe data
Wipe system
Wipe sdcard
------------------------------------------------
!! IMPORTANT NOTE !!
as you wiped everything noted above your revolution
WILL NOT BOOT UP
ALL FILES IN SYSTEM/SD-CARD WILL BE WIPED CLEAN
YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR BACKUP FILES INCLUDING CWM RECOVERY FILES
that why it's very important to transfer all your backup files to your pc/mac and you can flash v7 tot with LGNST without any problems
------------------------------------------
After I completely clean my revo I plug it into my pc from CWM and run LGNST
LGNST recognized my phone as I expected then I started to flash the v7 tot file
Waited for about 15 minutes for it to complete the whole process
when LGNST reach about 80% it'll reboot you're phone
Make sure LGNST display COMPLETE before you unplug
Now I got a complete bone stock phone with v7 gingerbread I started the root--revotool kit--GV 1.3 again
I use the esteem root method to root my revo as it works for me flawlessly
I also use the original revotool kit since I don't have any issues with it
Then I transfer my backup files back to my phone and reinstalled it with myBackupRoot app
Doing all this work and taking the risk did payoff
It fixed all issues I had mention earlier and been running flawless ever since even after I flashed BK kernel
No reboot, no screen freeze, bluetooth connects with anything I have
As I mention above, not only did it work for me it also work for 2 other friends
Good luck

[Q] My phone wont boot up / cant restore backup

Hey, so yesterday I flashed AOKP on my Droid 4 (my first time flashing..)
I created a backup and everything. Well my phone dosent connect to data while on AOKP (bug?)
So when I to toggle the safe system it didnt work. So I decided to quick toggle and reboot my phone. It just keeps on giving me "droid" the eye then restarts. So I got it to reboot again back into recovery to restore the nandroid. But there was a MD5 mismatch.
Im at school so I dont access to anything. (I cant toggle back to safe system either now, it gives me a error while restoring /data.)
So what can I do?? -panic mode-
Luckily this site wasen't blocked..

I had a similar issue a couple of weeks ago and got an error when trying to restore my nandroid backup to my non-safe system. I went in to advance restore and restored the system, data, and cache separately and that worked for some reason when the regular restore did not.

If you can't get to safestrap menu the best you will be able todo is fastboot to .219 or .215.

I tried doing the advanced restore, but when I tried restore system (I havent tried the other two yet) it gives me a MD5 mismatch error. (tried before and after I posted this thread)
and I don't know how to fastboot...kinda what my phone to be fixed before I go home. My mom will kill me.

First of all, when you say toggling didn't work, what exactly do you mean (what error message did you get)
Second of all, do not quick toggle.
Third, what mode is the phone in now? Try toggling to Safe Mode and rebooting.
Also, what mode were you in when you made the backup? You cannot restore safe-mode backups to the non-safe partition and vice-versa.
Also, you can get AOKP to connect to data by cycling between GSM/CDMA. Yes it is bug.

I was in the Safe System and when I tried to toggle into the Non-safe system it gave me an error when it was trying to restore. I think it was the same "Error while restoring /data" as I got after but I can't be sure.
yeah I know..I just wanted to get back. But good to know Ill be able to conenct to data if I get back to it.
Im in the Non-Safe system right now but I can't toggle back due to the "Error while restoring /data" error.
I did the backup in the non-safe and tried restoring in the non-safe.
I really hope that quick toggle didnt mess me up completly.

You could try doing a factory reset of your non-safe system. Not sure if that would work or not but might be worth a shot. Your could also try booting into stock recovery and doing a factory reset. If you go that route and it works you will have to re-root your phone and you may lose some things.

Ok, so I didn't know there was a factory reset option on the safeboot..lol. I didn't select it but when I turned on my phone a black screen with white text popped up, so i shut it down and on again and it booted up to the set up process. Then a while after I tried toggling the safe system again but it gave me the error again. I also tried doing a nandroid but it gave me a error about the /systemrig?
Then I decided to just boot it up normally and it gave me the set up process again. :/

Then I decided to just boot it up normally and it gave me the set up process again. :/

Glad to hear you at least have a working system again. When my safestrap pooped out on me I had to boot into stock, uninstall safestrap recovery, manually delete the safestrap folder on the sd card, then reinstall safestrap recovery. That finally fixed it for me. I have a suspicion it might have been a low amount of storage space that caused my initial problem with safestrap not wanting to toggle between safe and non-safe but I haven't confirmed that.

Yeah so am I.
Ok so from what I understand I should set up my phone again and unistall safestrap, go into the file manager, delete the safestrap folder and reinstall safestrap and I should be good to good to go with toggling and have it not boot up to set up everytime I turn it on? Then to get back to AOKP I just redo the data wiping and flashing. Sweet.
Yeah that might be it, I've been getting a "Low volume space on SD" error for a while. I didn't know what was causing it to be so full.

If your getting a low disk space message you might want to see if you can find some things to delete or move to an external sd card. I use DiskUsage. It gives you a nice graphical representation of what is eating up your space.

Ok I used it and got some stuff off. Seems like some of the biggest takers were some game data like Temple Run and Spirit HD. heh.
Anyways I did what you said about safestrap, after I finished restoring the rest of my apps..took forever. I reinstalled safestrap and booted into recovery. When I tried toggling it still gave me the "error while restoring /data". Then when I booted up normally I went back to the set up process. Why

That's odd. You deleted the safestrap folder in /sdcard right? Not /sd-ext? If you deleted that then there shouldn't be any data to restore. It should be like you are setting up your safe system for the first time. Assuming that you:
1. Opened the safestrap app and uninstalled recovery.
2. Used a file explorer to delete the safestrap folder in /sdcard.
3. Then opened the safestrap app and reinstalled recovery.
That is what I did and it worked for me. If that doesn't work then I am at a loss. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge of how safestrap works can chime in.

I think thats what I did wrong. I unistalled the Safestap app but not the recovery and didn't know there was a safestrap file in the internal storage.
Ok so far I think I got Stock and AOKP running along pretty nicely. Thanks for the help everyone!
Also, how would I go about updating to a new nightly or another ICS based ROM?
I hope Data connection (3g/4g and wifi) get fixed up. I also been noticing like plugged in a computer AOKP will charge slower than usual. But decharging and battery life seems alright.

Glad you got everything worked out! You should see a link to the nightly builds in the OP of the CM9 and AOKP dev threads. If you are flashing a nightly build of the same ROM you should be able to flash it in safestrap recovery over top over your old build. You should always wipe cache and dalvik cache when flashing a new build. If switching to a different ROM that you should wipe data/factory reset as well.
I doubt that the data connection issues are going to get worked out until we see ICS ROMs based on the ICS leaks. But to use those you will need to be on the ICS leak on stock. Personally I am waiting until the official ICS OTA comes out. Not willing to take the (small) chance of getting knocked off the official upgrade path. If the data issues have got you down I suggest trying out the Eclipse ROM. That's what I am running. Yes, it is "only" GB based, but it is very smooth and has no data issues.

I had the same issue
When mine kept resetting, I couldn't get it to even go to safestrap mode. I had it replaced because of endless searching let to nothing.

When mine did it, i just threw it in my backpack (to stop the "Droid" I was in the library haha. and got it out later and managed it some how. sorry that you had to replace it.
Hey when should data (As far as I know texting works b.c I keep getting one from 6250. But when should Pandora, Youtube, Netflix work, or will the codecs never work? I might switch to the eclipse rom, but i just love the ics improvements.

Probably not going to see a totally working ICS ROM based off the GB kernel. I don't think hashcode is really even working on them anymore. He's more focused on getting a ROM up and running based off the ICS kernel in the leaked updates. Once the ICS OTA drops we should see some really nice ICS ROMs I think. Or you can jump on the leaks. Personally, I'm riding it out on Eclipse until the official OTA drops. Too many hoops to jump through when messing with the leaks IMO.

So is esclipse just GB with ics look? Or does it actually have the improvements and ics apks will work on it? I think I can ride with just ics look and feel till the OTA. I cant even get to the nightlies on droidhive.
Where can I find the esclipse rom? Thanks again

Yes, Eclipse is GB with some elements changed or added to give it a more ICS look. Any app specifically made for ICS won't work but I can't really think of anything like that other than Chrome browser. Most apps are still made with GB in mind because that is what most android phones are still running. You can find the Eclipse ROM thread in the dev section.

[Q] "Unfortunately, app has stopped..."

Hi, i have a problem with many apps, and really i don't know what else to do, this start out of nowhere, a few days ago the message "unfortunately, (app) has stopped.." it's making me crazy.
i've try to flash another rom, kernel, restore backups, wipe cache, dalvik, data, and nothing.
i've try cyanogenmod 9, gummy, slimICS, dark night, and icy glitch kernel, devil kernel, and many other.
for example,the titanium backup, shows me the message every 30 minutes, the CK: zombies, doesn't start anymore, youtube too, minecraft pocket edition, play store, and many apps.
please i need some help, before i pull my captivate away
THANKS!

Try opening Terminal Emulator, and type "df". Next to /datadata, see how much free space there is. If it is less than 15-20MB, you're going to want to move some apps to the sd card, or apply a datafix script.

i did it and show me 40 mb free space, 131 used, 172 total, blksize 4096.

Hmm... that should be enough free space, but you could still try the datafix script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665742
Make sure to do a nandroid first (if you have anything worth saving at this point...)

I've had this happen to me with tibu try restoring all the apps without data and then see if they FC if they don't then you know what's causing them to FC. I'm afraid your going to have to set up all your apps again. That's what I had to do.

You didn't need to wipe your cards... Basically the problem is your Tibu backups were probably done with improper settings, and the data cannot be restored. Restoring just the app should still work though. You are going to have to start over again.
This is only correct if the apps won't even open

maybe i wasn't clear, i don't restore the titanium backups, i install apps one by one, clean installs from play store. and the message "system stop working" or something like that appear before i install the first app, when the first boot on setup wizzard, the setup wizzard stop and show me that message.

do you have the low data notification? If you do, keep moving apps to sd until it goes away; then, reboot. I've had this problem a few times when i first flashed to ICS.

i have same problem with google maps.
after a fresh installation. it s runnning but when i restart i have that message "unfortunatly.. app stoped"

Same issue, with Gallery/Camera
ok, so i'm on Tsunami 2.0 running devil kernel, this issue started while i was on AOCP, whenever i open the camera app, it immediatly says Unfortunately, Gallery Has Stopped. so i tried reflashing the gapps, same issue, tried flashing the 4.2 gapps, same issue, so i wiped everything and switched to the AOKP Tsunami ROM that im on now, (gapps built in) and SAME FREAKIN ISSUE....any ideas guys? (im pretty experienced with android and flashing roms, i've got a buddy who is rediculously experienced with it, and neither of us can figure this out)
EDIT : Just tried the picasa synk option in Tsunami OTA menu, same issue. i cant post this on the thread for my ROM, cuz i haven posted enough.....HELP

What about go to the Settings/ Applications/ All/ Gallery...select Clear cache and then Force stop. Then back out to home screen and open camera ?? See if that fixes the problem.

that was one of the first things i tried, and have done it several times since, still no luck....then i was gonna try and download a different camera app, and im getting server error on the play store....WTF. gonna try and reflash my gapps now, see if it improves anything.
EDIT: play store is working, downloaded Camera MX, it loads, but only shows black when trying to take a photo....i know that the camera physically works, i've been able to snap pictures and videos in the past.....

?? Idk what the deal is...but if all else fails, i suggest flashing back to Stock KK4 Full wipe ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18370912 ) then flashin KK4 Corn Kernel version 7.0A ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18233847 ), then flash ur Rom of choice.
