Root Corrupted Kernel?

jivenene said:
So here are my results.

I followed your guide ocnbrz (Awesome BTW), and ended up going with the MikG 3.1 ROM and Anthrax Kernel.

Long story short, same issues with the phone:

Slow boot, quick battery drain, no wifi/bluetooth, no spk/mic.

I am so very bummed, I guess that means I have hardware damage, unless anybody has any last ditch suggestions for going deeper into kernel/hardware issues.

One curiosity, after doing all those cache and Dalvik wipes, and bootloader unlock (which i thought wiped the phone), I still have alot of old background pics on the phone. I think its because they are stored on SD card?

BUT, why are my Mobi PCS settings still in the phone? it connects to Mobi PCS network, i just have no sound, but i do have 3G. I would think that doing all that to the phone, new ROM and Kernel, all the previous configs would be erased. Why are they still there?

All phone carrier specific information is stored in the NV partition of the phone, it is NOT user accessible unless you specifically use programs made to access it. Such as cdma workshop, QPST, and QXDM.
If changing roms screwed with your 3g and talk and text people would not easily change roms.:D
 
sorry your issues with the rom. from your last post it sounds like you only wiped dalvik cache and cache. you should wipe everything except the sd card and flash the rom. like optimus has said your radios do not get wiped in recovery as they are in a partition that recovery does not deal with.

Ok, I wiped everything but the SD card and re-installed the MikG ROM, still the same hardware issues.

Oh well, I guess I'm getting a new phone.

Is there a way to copy my Mobi PCS setting and put them into an idential phone with a different ESN? Or do I have to go back to the dealer and have him reflash my replacement phone?

I would think you can copy the NV items using the programs i mentioned earlier.
If you want i can help you take a look at it but i can't promise it will work i have not even heard of mobi
