need help again ran into alot of issues
i'm using revolt 1.5
1-for some reason after i moved some apps from phone to sd card using App 2 SD by sam lu the system show the apps as uninstall after i reboot the revo, how can i fix it?
2-also after that reboot, my market can't download or update any apps it just get stuck showing the download bar but it have no info of whats the download percentage,
since the market cant download apps i tried downloading the revotoolkit.apk from the xda revo forum with the google browser and it worked
3-but another issue poped up when i try to install the revotoolkit.apk it'll freeze and wont install, whats the problem here? i tried installing multiple times still no dice
4-then i figure something up with the market app so i try to clear it data and cache so i went into settings >> applications >> manage applications and notice there's nothing on the " Downloaded " section
so i check the " Running " section and see that all apps from android system-youtube says computing..
then i went to " All " section, same thing as " Running " section but with some more apps.
then went to " On SD card " section its blank also like downloaded, anyone know how to fix it?
i thought i did something wrong flashing the revolt 1.5 rom so i went back to cwm and do the whole process again " wipe data > flash revot 1.5 > reboot and it didn't fix anything, i still have the same problems
5-so i tried to connect the revo to my pc and run s1c to unroot it and reinstall the stock v4 and redo the whole downgrade and root process then another problem occured, the revo wont connect as internet connection while debug on and neither mass storage and media sync work but it shows the revo is charging through the usb connections
i'm sorry for such a long post
so can someone please help
side note - my phone worked flawless and everything works before i moved the apps to the sd card and reboot thats when everthing got screwed up.
but i still can make/recieve calls/text, the internet is fine i can browse/stream/download with stock browser and youtube
What I would do is back up apps, reboot into recovery, wipe data, reflash the rom, then reinstall apps.

i would but i can't because before i flash the revolt i backed up everything with " my backup " and that's one of the app that's went missing and i can't seem to find a way to reinstall it even after i found it on the browser and downloaded it, it still freeze during install and i cant find a way to install that apk just like the revotoolkit.apk by thecubed it still won't install no matter how many times i try it
i even tried to do the software update on the revo obviously it wont work but i thought why not give it a shot.
i was wondering if i would flash any previous revolt versions would i be able to do the sorfware update on the revo?
thanks for the reply tho mtmichealson
are there's another way i can try to fix these problems?

Interesting.. What home replacement do you use? I use GO Launcher, and I went in, and did some light app cleaning, getting rid of crap I don't need. I rebooted to make sure it was all off, and interestingly enough, some of my apps were gone. I went into Settings- Applications- manage, and the apps I was missing on my home screen were still there, but were not being displayed on my home screen. I did a reboot. And it solved it. I don't know if that had to do with the GO Launcher or not.
If you go to the market, does it say you have the apps? If you get Astro file manager, does it say the files are on your sd card? I mean, they have to be somewhere. You could wipe cache, and dalvik and try to reflash the rom. If that doesn't work, you could try homeless, and if everything is golden flash revolt. Taking into account the risks there. I know somewhere quite close to the top of the forums, we have the original files so you can take everything back to stock if you junk it up too much.

Is that "my back up" an app or did you save that under cwm back up? If you saved it in cwm, you can access that through recovery. If its an app, you should be able to download it from the market again, and it may have saved what ever for you. If you get to the market and says you have it, you should be able to choose to run it from there or uninstall. Again, if you get Astro, you should be able to find your back up on your external sd card.
i was using " go launcher ex "
when i went into the market it didn't show any of the missing app, but the missing apps still have a short cup on the app drawer with out the actual app icons.
" MyBackup is a app by rerware, LLC " they have 3 versions " MyBackup/MyBackup Root/MyBackupPro$4.99 " is like TI Backup
I've tried going back to the market to download and reinstall the MyBackup app so i can restore my apps+data/contacts/system data but it tend to freeze
so i use the browser to google the app, i found the apk file on google and download it w/o any delay so i thought something is wrong with my market app
once the download of the mybackup app completed i tried to install it and thats when the other problem happen, it won't install. i tried to install it a few times and each time i'll wait 2-7 minutes and it still no install.
at 1st i thought it was something wrong with the apk file so i tried to install the revotoolkit.apk i've downloaded and installed w/o any problems earlier but didn't install this time and it just froze like the mybackup.apk
so i tried the troubleshot in the order i did on my 1st post
thanx alot for the reply markapowell
if you can think of something please let me know
Well, that is beyond my already lack of expertize. Sounds like you might be missing some LG file from the factory. For instance, when we got the phone we had a list of freezable goodies. Well one of the programs you would freeze would kill Bluetooth, but it would have been a program that should have never controlled that function. So you may have offed something that was connected to how you see things in the drawer. How to solve it, is beyond me, without looking at the phone.

i tried flashing revolt 1.0-1.4, rehome 1.0/1.1, decrap 1.1 nothing fix any issues
then while i'm still on decrap 1.1 i finally found a way to get the revo to be connect to my pc with internet connection and debug on last nite
revo turned off and make sure it's in auto internet connection with debug on before i turned the revo
then connect to pc " pc is on " before i turn the revo back on
once the revo established internet connection w debug on i started s1c v2.1.1 to unroot it
then i use LGNST to update with the v6 tot file instead of doing a downgrade to v4
after update finished i reboot then try to download apps from the market, same thing as before it wouldnt download or install. so the problem wasn't fix on the market
then i check the other settings like my 1st post and its still the same thing, all the problems still there nothing was fixed on the v6 firmware
so i just dont bother with it anymore since the stock firmware didnt fix anything i know i broke something not sure what
then i just went to a verizon store told them the issues, they check the phone firmware just to make sure it's stock and not rooted
"good thing the LGNST and the v4/v6 tot brings the phone back to original state "
then the verizon reps did a factory reset just to check if that would fix the issues and it didn't anything so they just going to send me another revo in a few days
i guess thats the only way to fix those issues
cant wait to get it and root again , if anything screws up i'll have to use LGNST again and bring it back to verizon
thanx again to mtmichealson and markapowell for the replies
huge thanx to hilong08 and nasirahmed posting the LGNST and stock firmware files and how to downgrade
thanx again to mtmichealson and markapowell for the replies

Yah, sounds like you did all you could do. Glad you were able to take it back in. Good luck on the next one.
there's probably more i can like really dig into the system to find which files are missing but then again i'm not an IT tech i'm just a trucker and it'll be much easier for me to just revert it back to stock and have verizon send me a replacement
Did you ever try adb push in recovery to get my back up back?
Open command prompt to platform-tools folder hold shift and right click on platform-tool.and start command prompt there then run
adb devices (insures your connected debugging must be enabled)
adb pull /data/app/com.rerware.android.MyBackupPro-1.apk
(that will pull the apk to the platform-tools folder)
Now boot into recovery
adb devices (make sure you are connected and says recovery next to it)
adb push com.rerware.android.MyBackupPro-1.apk /data/app/com.rerware.android.MyBackupPro-1.apk
Of course that is for my backup pro not sure what you had but should be similar

nope i didn't try this method to push the MyBackup back to the revo
since i still have it i'll give it a shot see if that could fix it
when you mention" boot into recovery " do you mean go into cwm?
thanx for the reply
That is correct and the only reason you have to do that is because the revo won't let you adb remount...don't know why but push in recovery has worked for me sometimes I head to use root explorer to manually move it to where it needs to be like it might get put in /data and not /data/app
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
thank Beamer9408 for the quick reply
i'll downgrade to v4/root and try the adb later tonite
pushing adb work like a charm i got MyBackup back and tried reinstall some of my backup app+data and reinstall the system data that i backed up earlier
thanx beamer9408
but instead of pulling the app from adb i just google searched the MyBackup and revotoolkit and push through adb. it worked fine my revo instantly reconized the app i'd push and i didn't have to go into recovery
then i rebooted hoping it'll fix the issues but nope it didnt fix anything, the apps i backup is still there but i can't download/update/install apps from the market but the amazon appstore and browser can still download but it won't install also
so i don't what happened to my revo and why it won't install anything on it but i can push apps through adb
also it didn't fix the usb and other problems too i still have to have the phone turned off w debug and internet connection on then turn it back on inorder for it to be reconnize by the pc
any other ideas i can try before i return the phone? so we can try to solve it incase it happens to some other revo owners so they have somewhere to go to fix it
since i'll reflash revolt 1.5 again just to play with it some more, do anyone know about that v6 or v8 supercharger script thats suppose to help speed up the phone? and how would i apply it?
just wanna do some experimenting
I don't think we can use the super charge script
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
i've tried the v6 supercharge a few times last nite and i can't seem to load it with script manager
each time i try to load it the script manager it just go into force close even if i rebooted the revo
someone did do it on the revo posted in this link at the bottom of the tread and i did follow all directions too, didn't work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210041&page=93
it's wierd that each app i transfer to sd with the app " app2sd " will work but once i reboot, when i try to run the apps that i move to sd shows a message " cannot run application not install " and it won't show on the app drawer
is that a issue w revolt 1.5 or goLauncherEx?
another thing is while i try to transfer each app to sd with app2sd, the 1st try always says " error cannot move to sd " but on 2nd try it'll work? why it do that? is it because revolt 1.5 not really compatible with the app2sd app?
I'm using all of those apps and haven't had that problem
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
got my replacement last nite then did the whole routine again, downgrade v4> root s1c v2.1.1> flash revolt 1.5 w/o any issues played with it for a while before i load the v6 supercharger script
i installed the busybox installer app and install the 1.18.2 busybox version then load the v6 supercharger script through script manager and it works but i didnt notice much difference before and after the v6 supercharger maybe the revolt is already fast as is
i tried using the app2sd again and it didnt play nice w same issues as on my other revo so i downloaded the " gemini app manager " and it worked like a charm
i tend to like the gemini more not only it works but also i can move a batch of apps to sd instead of doing 1 at a time, also it have a block function that is same as freeze
so i don't need too many app
can't wait to see what the revo devs can do with GB rolling out tonite and hopefully mtmichealson and thecubed can get the cm7 ported over to the revo
since i still have both revo i'll try to update the 1 i'm going to send back to GB and play with before i send it back

For the most part I was just looking for the wifi tether app. So I did one click root and everything was still good. Downloaded rom manager, everything was still good, installed the clockworkmod. Phone rebooted and I had to do the update thing. Phone rebooted, still good. Installed busybox and lost the ability to usb tether my phone. Removed the busybox and got tether back. Downloaded the beast update and told rom manager to reboot into recovery and installed update, rebooted, update didn't take, did it again and still nothing. Finally booted phone and manually entered recovery mode and ran update. This one took. Now I go to try run the wifi app and it force closes. Tried to run super user app, force close. Tried to run rom mananger to restore last backup and super user fails there too. Any ideas?

Why don't you pruds try to help and not criticize that is what is wrong with this Dev Forum God forbid if you all come down off your this is a dev forum.
It looks like you rooted twice with 2 different apps. Not sure what that would do bit it cant be good.
I would one click to stock, then run unleash the beast and be done with it.

Thank for moving it to the correct forum, I guess I figured since it was a problem with something from dev that is where I should post, my bad. As for the rooting twice the post said it was ok if you were already rooted.
Ok, so I used the one click root and took it back, re ran unleash and still same problem. According to the post it should install busy box at the time of the installation. It didn't, I downloaded it but it won't install.
Thanks, I flashed back with odin. I was able to install the beast, however wifi tether continually crashes with force close. I tried to update with the new install but it still crashes.

Download the .apk found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 i used version 1.2. install a file manager if you transfered the file from your pc and find the .apk and install it. if doing it from the device same thing. before opening the .apk make sure debugging is on and unknown sources is enabled.
Open the gingerbreak .apk and simply click Root device. If successful the device will reboot. Once it reboots download an app that requires superuser. and if all went well it should ask for superuser perms. Also you should now see the SU apk in your app draw.
Now Download Rom Manager from the market and flash Clockworkmod recovery and flash away. Rom manager is only good for flashing recovery nothing else works within it. You must manually enter recovery by holding + volume and power until bootloader menu appears. Then select option 2. Make sure your battery has 80% or more. No more fastboot. Good luck and happy streaking.
I'm not responsible if you brick your device. Do some reading before you think about rooting and see if its for you.
Thanks goes to the devs of gingerbreak.
THANK YOU HELLZYA!
And Thanks to Chainfire over at GingerBreak.
This is the coolest thing EVER!
So happy to have root now!!!!!!
Time to be a flash monster. lol
Very strange. I have SU but CWM does not work.
I click on Backup ROM and it just reboots.
I click on Install ROM from SDCard and it just reboots.
I click Reboot into Recovery and it just reboots.
Other than that everything else works great that needs SU.
Now everything force closes
I haven't been able to flash because everytime I reboot my Streak 7 returns to factory state, so in another thread I was suggested this workaround to help me get CWM installed and then flash another ROM...
Well, I ran this and it seemed to be fine, ran quick and then rebooted, but much to my disappointment, now everything force closes, everything, I can't even use the calculator.... and sometimes the startup wizard crashes and/or the home launcher...
Im worse off than when I started.
About the only info I can give you is that it's a Streak 7 with 2.2.2 installed
Gravityrat rom manager is only good for flashing recovery nothing else. You have to manually access. Cwr by holding plus volume and power till you see bootloader menu. Select option 2 and you will be presented with cwr. Make sure your battery is at 80% or more

You need to download the gingerbreak apk from xda, make sure you allow opps from unknown sources and have debugging ticked, install the apk then open it and run it your streak will reboot then you have root hope it helps you
Go to your streaks settings and within there in applciations and development sections

Ok, I downloaded the VZW/LG update on 8/4/11, but once downloaded it reboots into recovery.. I have Clockworkmod Recovery installed. I don't know where the downloaded file is to install it. I assume if I had stock recovery that it would have automatically installed. Can anyone help?
After reboot from CWM, the update screen comes up and says Update Failed or Incomplete.
Also just a note, the update isn't Gingerbread, it is bug fixes and a couple system app updates.

Anyone wondering about the OTA please read this!
If you have CWM installed, you won't be able to take the OTA.
For now, I'd suggest staying away from it until I get a chance to look it over first.
Also, if you're running my decrapified ROM, installing the OTA would bootloop your device since decrapified is deodexed and the OTA would be odexed.
In the next day or so (whenever I get access to the OTA zip file), I'll disassemble it and see what changes it contains (like if it has a new recovery, or new kernel, or changes the board configuration) I'll post back here to let y'all know.
UPDATE
It appears that the update is safe to install for those running the revo stock (not decrapified) ROM.
It makes changes to quite a lot-- new boot.img, new LTE RIL, new CDMA RIL, new LTE baseband ROM, changes to the recovery system to bring it in line with normal Android (still not very 'normal', but normal as in "now contains an installrecovery.sh that android can use"), and a bunch of new ODEX files.
Let me stress this and make it perfectly clear: this update will NOT work if you're running decrapified ROM.
In the next day or so, I'll make an updated decrapified ROM (see? I was waiting for a good reason to make an update ) that will include the OTA in it.
Until then, relax and keep hitting that "ignore" button
Hey, what does the new boot animation look like? The only other thing that interests me, is the keyboard pop up in messenging. I hate that.

It bothers me too! I will look into if the new Mms.apk will work with decrap 1.1, if it does I will put it in my theme page.
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA Premium App
There are several things that I do not like about the Decrapified ROM
1. The 3 buttons on the bottom (Phone / App Drawer / Browser) sometimes vanish. Only way to fix it is to reboot
2. When you dock the phone into the car mount, the Navigation doesn't do anything. It would be nice to launch your own GPS app or the Google Navigation app. There are other activities that do nothing.
Everything is is great. Love the Google Integration and Love the missing Verizon Crapware on it (VZ Navigator, VZ Music, etc)
If ur using adw go into adw theme settings and reapply your them and the bottom buttons will deappear

For now, I'd suggest staying away from it until I get a chance to look it over first.
Also, if you're running my decrapified ROM, installing the OTA would bootloop your device since decrapified is deodexed and the OTA would be odexed.
In the next day or so (whenever I get access to the OTA zip file), I'll disassemble it and see what changes it contains (like if it has a new recovery, or new kernel, or changes the board configuration) I'll post back here to let y'all know.
UPDATE
It appears that the update is safe to install for those running the revo stock (not decrapified) ROM.
It makes changes to quite a lot-- new boot.img, new LTE RIL, new CDMA RIL, new LTE baseband ROM, changes to the recovery system to bring it in line with normal Android (still not very 'normal', but normal as in "now contains an installrecovery.sh that android can use"), and a bunch of new ODEX files.
Let me stress this and make it perfectly clear: this update will NOT work if you're running decrapified ROM.
In the next day or so, I'll make an updated decrapified ROM (see? I was waiting for a good reason to make an update ) that will include the OTA in it.
Until then, relax and keep hitting that "ignore" button

Just flash it via revotoolkit...
The baseband image doesn't appear to change much at all, it's only a minor change it appears...
Mine wouldn't take any deferral time greater than 24 hours....and out of the blue it started about 10 hours after I deferred for 24....
Mine rebooted to Clockwork, I selected reboot, it came back up, displayed a page noting the failure, and everything appears to be working fine -- 30 minutes and counting. We'll see if it tries again...

Yeah, I PM'd you on that.. revo tool kit not working, download file only 36k, even attempted to download the .tar (via Windows7) described in the output in the program and the countdown just keeps looping. There may be something wrong with the files or the file host...
disregard.. just attempted download in Dolphin Browser on my phone and it is downloading the 6.73mb file recovery-stock.tar from 199.167.134.110/private/iomonster/files/revo-cwm/recovery-stock.tar.gz
So i should be able to follow same instructions I used to manually install cwm to install this, correct? Or I could just wait for the new decrap ROM, but I am very impatient.. lol
I am giving up!!!!!
ok.. getting really mad now. I successfully and manually flashed the stock recovery image and verified that with revo toolkit. So applied the update and it boots into stock recovery but not even half way through the arrow becomes an " ! " and reboots and says update failed or incomplete. So now I will put back CWM and wait for the next version of decrap.

You can NOT apply the OTA if you're running decrap!

I know that.. I am using stock rooted. I only meant I would wait for it because you said you were going to include the update in next version..

I'm running Decrap1.1 and couldn't stop the attempted upgrade, since mine wouldn't respond to any attempts to defer. So, I went poking around under the hood. Just on a hunch, I used Titatium Backup to freeze a program called Verizon Package Installer, thinking that might interupt any attempt to actually update. The update loader ran and failed, gave me a warning, and I haven't seen it again since. I also am having ZERO problems with the phone. It's like it went away and isn't coming back.
Do you think my package loader freeze might do that?
Soon-to-be, first-time, smart phone owner here.
My new Revolution is on the way and I have a few questions for current owners, rooters and rom installers.
I want to remove bloatware and Bing, improve battery life, allow tethering, and unlock the FM radio. Should I wait for Gingerbread? Root only? Install a custom Rom?
I know that the rooting process and roms improve over time and would also appreciate some input to the most current root/rom process.
Thanks,
J.
I would root right away, downgrade if necessary. RevoIt rom is incredibly fast and has bloat removed. We don't know how long until gingerbread so not worth waiting.

Sorry for double post. Best way to root is if your on VS910V6 is to downgrade (there is a tutorial on here somewhere) and use superoneclick 1.7 ragethecage. If VS910ZV4 is on your phone just use superoneclick regular root. Then you have to put on revotoolkit to put on cwm. There you can flash a new rom

Where do I find instructions for S1C 1.7? I went to the "development" forum and the S1C instructions say "confirmed not working, guide removed till update is available."

Just extract the files, run the program, plug phone in and select internet mode with USB debugging enabled, select the "rageagainstthecage" exploit in the right hand side drop-down menu and click ROOT.
If it hangs (gets stuck) try checking and unchecking USB Debugging while the program is running and the phone is plugged in.
Thanks for the help so far. I have successfully downgraded and rooted.
I apologize in advance because I know all of these questions have been asked before but there are sooo many guides and youtube videos and forums. Some things might apply to the Revo and some might not.
Anyway...
1. I plan on installing revolt 1.5 but first think I should backup and save a copy of the Verizon Rom to be able to go back if all hell breaks loose or they update to GB. If I backup in clockworkmod, where does the backup go on the sd card? What is the name of the file? Should I take it off the sd and or put it on a computer for safe keeping?
2. Does "rom manger" work for the revolution? I asked me for phone model but didn't have the revo listed.
3. I installed Ti backup but already have the rom backed up. Is Ti backup used solely to backup apps?
4. The install instructions for revolt 1.5 say "make sure 4g is enabled," how do I do that?
5. The instructions do not say to wipe the cache. Is that no longer a required step?
6. Is there a "file manager" for accessing the sd card?
Too many ?'s, but thanks.
J.
In the same boat, sort of.
Was wondering if the sixaxis app for connecting a playstation controller to our phone works. was gonna root my phone this weekend and if this app works with our phone maybe ill stay up a little later tomorrow to see if i can get it working lol.
Thanks for any reply

1. I'm pretty sure backups go to external/clockworkmod/backups
But you don't need to make backups for this since you can always flash the rooted stock ROM.
2.ROM manager does not work.
3.titanium backs up only apps and there data (I like mybackup pro more)
4. If you didn't change any settings 4g you'll be fine.
5. Always wipe cache and dalvik cache. May take time to boot up but its.normal .
6. Es file explorer or root explorer

I just re-installed the GingerVolt 1.3 ROM and then installed the ICS Theme for it, and it worked fine, until i opened the Market Place (or Play store, whatever you wanna call it lol) and then when I download something it causes the Market Place to force close, and every time i try to open the Market Place after that, it just automatically force closes and wont let me open it. Then I reboot the phone, and i will let me open it again but as soon as I try and download something, it does it all over again, and keeps doing it until i reboot the phone again. So I Restored the phone to the last backup I made, which I wasn't having this problem when i made that backup. But now, even after I restored the backup its still giving me the same problem. So I don't know wtf the problem is and how to fix it, restoring the backup i made was my only idea. But as i said, even after restoring the backup, its still happening. So does anyone know what the problem might be, and how I can possibly fix it.
And now its not letting me open it at all. I rebooted my phone 3 times and now it just force closes even if I don't try to download something first. WTF ! This is frustrating, I've never not been able to fix an issue on my phones before, but I can't seem to figure this one out. I wish there was a way to delete the market place and re-install it. But as far as I know there isn't a way....is there ?
As far a being able to reinstall the market you should be able to download gapps and flash it via cwm recovery.

But I am wondering it could be an issue with an incompatible with the newer radio and the one ment for GingerVolt 1.3.... What is your current as version (like mine is vs910v9)? If I'm thinking correctly the last sw version that supported GingerVolt was v7. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Try wiping the app cache. If that doesn't work, try that and wiping cache/dalvik.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda app-developers app
I tried wiping the cache a couple times already before posting this, but I hadn't tried wiping the dalvik, but I just wiped both and still no go, and now as soon as my phone loads into the homescreen, it tells me that Google play has forced closed before I even try opening it. Before it wasn't happening til I opened it and tried to download something, then it would start forcr closing everytime I tried to open it, but like I said, now it force closes as soon as my phone boots into the homescreen. So something is definitely corrupted it seems. I think I am gonna have to completely restore my phone back to factory settings. Unfortunately my backup that I made when I first got the phone almost 2yrs ago has been lost somehow, so I am going to have to reset the phone manually. Which I've never done on this phone so I am gonna have to look up how to do it.
Unless anyone else has some suggestions on fixing this issue so I don't have to go to that extreme.

Oh and baseband version is VS910ZV7
And I don't think gingervolt is my problem cause it worked fine until I installed the ICS aka Kangwhich theme, that's when Google play started messing up and force closing on me.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda app-developers app
You could try just flashing the play store aka gapps. You can get it through the link I gave in my other post.

If that doesn't work then there's always flash back to stock via the tot file for which ever Version you choose (pain to get it setup but very handy to have if an issue like this arises)
