Hi guys, successful root (used regaw's guide), installed darchdroid v2.8, now i'm having problems. I stumbled accross the DS updater app that came with this rom, thought it was going to update my custom rom but seemed like it put me back with htc sense?? I did a nandroid restore but seems like since I messed with it I've lost root access? My wifi tether isn't working anymore, keeps saying unable to start tethering please try again. I decided I was going to start over and run the RUU supplied in regaw's thread, re-root, and re-flash the rom. Whenever I try and run the RUU I keep getting a "ERROR [107]: USB CONNECTION ERROR." Sorry if this in the wrong place or already been discussed. Any ideas? Help?
Run the RUU again while the phone is frozen like that.

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.
I thought I might open this up since I didn't see it anywhere. Anyway, ill start with my side.
I was on revolt 1.5 (big thanks mtm) and had a haphazard way of getting to zv7. Anyway, I restored stock without wiping, both system and boot.img from thecubeds original factory band, started up fine. Then used revotoolkit to restore stock recovery, downloaded the update and updated sucessfully. I then rooted with the esteem method, free and clear, and restored, among other things, my apps with data that I backed up in ti. Everything was generally fine, with minor hiccups from restoring app data so just manually wiped data from problem apps one by one. After that, gingervolt had come out and I figured that if I flash it over my current setup, worse case scenario I go back and wipe data and install from scratch. But, as luck had it, after taking awhile to rebuild the dalvik cache, everything was fine and dandy.
So how did yours go? Any stories or experiences? Thought this would be good for general discussion and as insight for everyone.

yes tell all as I have heard going right from v4 to v7 was a no go.
You beat me to the punch...I was on Revolt 1.5 and loving it but I want GB. So I downgraded to the stock rooted nandroid backup found here. I went to settings> about phone> software update and...nothing. I tried a few times, I waited for awhile and nothing. I then flashed the z4 tot file, nothing, I updated the z6 file and rooted that and nothing (see a pattern?) I am currently running the Z6 rooted file.
Any help would be appriciated. By the way mtmichaelson you are the man.
I think we are all in the same boat Verizon hasn't uploaded the update to the servers we can download from for now I'm staying stock rooted with stock recovery until they push the update to me so that i can install it when it gets here basically the only thing we can do is wait

My impressions
I was patient and stuck with a CWM/rooted stock V4 ROM.
I uses MT's ROM stock and followed instructions and upgraded through OTA to GB without a hitch. I also erased the internal SD to remove any gremlins from past experimentation.
I used his root zip and it when without a hitch except for the CWM recovery not sticking after reboot.
I notice that the audio output is louder, not one single crash or forced close, faster 4G and GPS, and faster charging. I plan to wait to see how the custom ROMs perform before flashing it and hopefully the CWM issue will be resolved soon.
We all need to thank everyone who has made this possible!
Just curious, what part of the country are you guys in that can't get the update?
I can't get the update and I'm in central California.

As far as secrets, I cant think of many hidden things I did. A little more detailed though, I had revolt 1.5, backed up everything, and didnt wipe any data.
I went to cwr, made a nand backup, and without wiping anything went straight to flash thecubed's root nandroid rip with advanced restore, with the stock system.img and boot.img, and that booted fine.
Then in android, I used revotoolkit to flash the stock recovery, and I think its this step that at least partially 'allows' the update. I guess something where it checks what is installed to check if there's an update.
Then I got the update prompt for zv6, and it updated fine, although it wasnt rooted afterward. Shortly after, I got another update and it updated to zv7 and 2.3.4, still unrooted. Although my apps were still there, some had issues from remnants of data from froyo, like force closes. So I manually, selectively deleted data in 'manage apps' as I found problem apps.
Then I used the esteem root to root it, and after finding the working, updated one it went fine.
After that, gingervolt came out, and although it was warned to wipe data strenuously before switching, I figured that if I at least made a nandroid before flashing anything, then the worst case scenario if flashing gingervolt over stock gb turned out to fail, I could either wipe data anyway and reflash like normal, or by some crazy chance it'd work, and I just got lucky when it worked. It just took a good 5-7 minutes to boot I presume because it has to rebuild the dalvik cache (based on what/how many apps you have?) and here we are. I hope this explains more so others may have success stories.

It may have to do, like I put above, with putting stock recovery + boot + system.img from stock zv4. Try that if you can and report the results if it deems beneficial.

And I completely have to agree haha. After updating and rooting, I got instant gps lock, have yet to have any fc's or reboot besides the usual routines, and I know Ill have to post a ss to prove it but I was able to get consistent 20-30mbps down with a single 42mbps down speedtest on the speedtest.net app, when before even on a great day it would peak at 16mbps. Loving gingerbread, especially since (coming from a droid) its on a phone meant to handle gb. Afaik, gb's mem manager was more built for 512mb+ (correct me if Im wrong), although it manages everything so much better. As good as gb is on my OG droid, there are a good # of screen redraws lol.
I started from Revolt 1.5. I made a NAND banckup, then got rid of CWM with RevoToolKit. Flashed the v6 tot file with LGNPST, updated to GB OTA, then rooted with mt's script. All-in-all it was pretty painless. I didn't do a data/cache wipe until I went to put on Gingervolt.

Odd. On Halloween, in Cerritos, I reverted to stock and got immediate zv6 upgrade download without even going to settings. zv7 came automatically too.
The only thing I can think of is my phone has never been on vz6 before. Are the people who are having trouble ones who downgraded from zv6 to 4 and then rooted?

rooted stock rom
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.

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)
