well yes.. i was on the 906 and i used the 890.. so right now i am on the 890!!!

yup..and that is why you have all your problems...
download my 1click sbf and use it...
then reinstall the .906 ota
then reroot
then install safestrap
and you will be good to go

Finally it worked!!! :)) i^m so happy.. haha..

so here is what i did, so if anyone has the same problem! First of all ovelayers
one click form ,906 to ,890 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1686911

than flashing with rsd lite the ,906 sbf! the phone stays on the ,890 version for some reason but after that the flashing procedure just works fine!!! ;)

By the way i flashed CM9 and ok it looks good... but nothing seems to work really... i cant even make a phone call.. the call app brakes down! :)

no both files on my thread are sbf's just 2 ways to do it..1click (prefered) and rsdlite for those who still like to use rsdlite..
the .906 ota is an update to the android softwear you are running on your phone..
there are a few good roms to choose from..i would stay away from the ics roms as most of them are buggy and alot of functions do not work..
my choices would be
1. eclipse 3.0 (which i run)
2.mavrick 4.0
3.liberty 2.0
4.steel droid
have fun!

Swiftkey X supports multiple languages. It's worth the price!

Some devices just don't like overclocking. My first d3 wouldn't overclock but this one runs the 1.2 just fine. Go figure

I dropped mine and put a huge crack in the screen so I used my insurance to get a new one. 150 instead of 600. And at least now I can overclock, plus it got me onto 2.3.6 as the sbf wasn't out at the time

    you are probably using rick#2's modded safestrap 1.08f
    use 1.08e or hashcodes 1.08

    I don't know if it will fix your issues, but you're supposed to do all the wiping before you flash, not afterwards. You could have wiped system as well when you did those wipes, so it would have completely undone the whole flashing process.

    After you enable “Safe System”, you must then go to the “Mount” menu and choose “Format System". Then Wipe Data & Cache, Install Your Custom Rom, Wipe Data & Cache, and reboot.

    If the SKIP the step of going to "Mount" and "Format System", you will get stuck on a black screen upon reboot 100% of the time!

    Hope this helps!

    its possible... i will look at it tommorow cause i have all these files on another PC!
    lets says i did what u mentioned... what has happened?

    ok i looked it up right now i am on the ,890 so the other version must have been the,906 i returned to the ,890 cause on the other version i could not flash!!!

    so give me your lights! :) what happened!

    if you were on .906 and used the .890 some files could not be reverted back so you would have a ton of problems...which it sounds like what has happened to you lol...simple fix..head on over to my thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1686911 and download the 1click and follow the directions and you will be back on track
