Ok, it finally happened to me. I have no idea what I did. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone (left the stock ROM), installed TWRP, and rebooted successfully several times. Then, I installed Titanium to restore apps from my EVO LTE. Once those were done restoring, I rebooted, and it is stuck at the first "quietly brilliant" screen.
I am able to access TWRP ("boot into recovery"?), and tried wiping everything, but the problem persists. Any ideas? Thanks all!
Ok, sorry, I freaked out, I figured out how to flash the RUU and get myself working again:

That video really, REALLY, helped. Sorry again, all! Now to get up for work in 3 hours. ughhhh...
That can happen if you're restoring system apps and settings from a different phone or different ROM. The old data usually conflicts with the new ROM/phone and causes lock-ups, bootloops, etc. You should be ok if you're just restoring your old downloaded apps and data.

Ahh, figured it was something like that. I tried sticking to just restoring my Wi-Fi passwords and Bluetooth pairings as well as a couple of other less system-oriented apps. This worked for me going from my old EVO 4G to my EVO LTE, so I didn't think I would have a problem. I just made a nandroid backup so at least I can just re-flash that and not lose anymore time.

I received my phone back a few days ago and I instantly flashed Cyan 5.0.6 test 3.
However I have a really annoying issue where my Market isn't quite 'correct'.
It seems to be missing the 'top paid' tab.
It also takes an age to load the info for any app I click on and the status stays at 'installing' even though it is installed and it will only refresh when I reboot.
I have tried to restore the backed up propriety apps, nandroid backup and restore, flashed a stock rom, flashed cyan 5.0.1
But NOTHING works.
I know the slow market is related to the missing tab, it's like half of the market app hasn't loaded properly.
I had this issue before my phone went off for repair and one day it fixed (I don't know how) but as soon as it did, it performed as it should and it took seconds to load app data and install, it also stated the app was installed.
I suppose what I'm looking for is HOW can I completely reload the Market from scratch?
Thanks guys.

Wow that is so weird... I assume you do wipe/cache/dalvik before flashing a ROM right? Have you tried cyan 5.0.6 yet? If not, give it a try, do the wipe before flash of course, and hope that works... Also, do you have a backup app? like titanium back up or back up pro? Did you set it to auto restore perhaps? Probably just a bad market back up? Thats all I can think about... If it doesnt work, then its beyond me brother

Hi Man,
I know it's really bugging me.
I've tried everything including wiping the Dalvik and normal cache.
I think I might try Enomer's ROM to see if that solves it but I can only tether at the moment as we've moved house and I won't have BB back for 2 weeks.
I have Titanium pro installed as I have over 400 apps on my phone!
Hey bro,
Apparently there have been a few reports about the same issue with the market, probably has something to do with the market update. Anyway, try uninstalling the market via titanium if you can that is. And reinstall. Nandroid before doing it.

So I desided it was a good day to flash to stable cm7. But as my phone had a specific problem nobody else has I first restored my original nandroid backup, back to sense. Then realised I didn't do a recent backup in titanium backup, so restored that backup, did a backup, then restored back to my original. Did a factory reset, cleared cache/dalvik, flashed cm7, g-apps, fixed permissions, rebooted. All seemed well. Everything was working except GPS. So I also desided to change my SD card to my new 32G. A few hours later I was at work, and checked my phone, NO INTERNET, gaahhhh. Went to SMS a friend to see if she had internet. Realised Google account didn't restore my contacts. No internet=no restoring then went to do a nandroid restore, and found out that clockwork mod recovery goes away after a factory reset(after I thought about it I realised I didn't even have my backups anyways...new SD card) So there I was stuck at work, with a basicly broken phone, and I was kinda stressed about it. Had to wait 5 hours before I could even get to my computer to fix it. I can't believe I freaked out so much over it.... Hi, my names Justin and I am addicted to my Smartphone.
Edit: BTW, not really sure why I wrote this long ass ramble/rant. But whatever at least my phone is awesome once more

Semi-happened to me once before... As always, keep your data safe
Ok. I'm rooted, running decrapified 1.1 My issue right now (one of 3) is that some times, ok a lot of times, I'll try to click an icon, or activate the phone or whatever and it will take a long time before anything happens. By long time, I mean at least 30 - 45 seconds. This is my second REVO, so I'm wondering if its just a device thing or if I have something that is jacking my system. I have restored apps via Titanium, but never system data. I'm at a loss here, and while its past time to return my phone, it, along with the other two major issues is getting to be a major pain in the arse.
Any thoughts anyone? Could something that I backed up in Titanium have a corrupt file or something?
I truly appreciate any and all help.
Thanks All
Here's something quick to try:
make a nandroid backup of your phone through Clockwork
from within clockwork, wipe data
reboot your phone and use the phone without restoring your data (link your market account, and sync your apps from market + contacts, but don't restore any backups)
If the phone works fine after that, it was just simply a data corruption issue. I've had that happen MANY times on my tester Revo.. things would just get wonky on it.
If the phone is still having problems after wiping data, come to the #lgrevolution IRC channel on freenode, I can help you on there.

Thanks TheCubed!! I figured that would fix things, but it always helps to have a back up opinion. You are spot on. So far so good. I've deleted all old titanium backups so I don't run into this problem again..
Hi, I have a Sprint HTC One with the latest stock software, only thing changed is I rooted it and installed the free Sprint hotspot mod. (a while ago)
About 30 minutes ago, it just started rebooting, turning on for about 1 minute, rebooting and repeating non-stop, while heating up.
I cleared the cache and dalvik, but nothing changed. I don't understand why it just started happening right now, I haven't installed anything new.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You took a backup before the mod, right? If not, you might be into a RUU to get back to stock (clean).

Last night, I did a full factory reset, because I had an adb backup of all my apps. I then restored the apps. Everything was fixed, but just now it started again while I was going through my gallery. I tried booting in safe mode and it still restarts.
You probably want to get a logcat dump. Just start adb and start the logcat until it reboots. Might give some indication of the offending app.
Something happen to my backup or something.
I made a nandroid, then tried a diff rom which required a newer TWRP, so I updated from 2.6.33 to 2.7.1 and when I tried to restore, everything said it was ok.
So I booted in, and it was only HTC stuff. No Google stuff whatsoever, or my apps. However, looking into the app section in the settings, I see all my apps! But none have the correct icons, just the placeholders and they were all 0kb, except for a handful which has like 70kb.
I'm not sure what happened...So I went back to TWRP 2.6.33 just to see if it was the version or something, but still, the same thing when restoring. I even tried fix permissions, no go.
Had to start over, but finally got my phone mostly working, but I'm worried about future nandroids. And is this a known issue?
Certainly shouldn't be any issues with nandroids. I think you were just unlucky with a dodgy backup

If you want it to be everything, ie apps, google stuff etc, when you do the nandroid, you need to select everthing in the list, I think it just defaults to backing up boot and system, but you need to manually select everything else, data, cache, recovery etc, you'll see them before you swipe to backup, they're just little check boxes.
