Hey everyone, I'm using Calcu Kitchen 4.5 and this just happend to me. If you can see in the first screenshot, the "Windows Media" icon is corrupted. Once I click on it I get what is in screenshot #2. If I do a SOFT-RESET, upon phone reboots, it became a HARD-RESET.

Any1 has any idea what caused this?

Actually, this happened to me as well using Calcu's 4.5 kitchen. I had all kinds of freezing issues, installs that failed, etc. When I did a soft reset, it came up as a hard reset (had to do setup again, etc.) I chalked it up to a bad cook, but maybe it's something more.

I did change the pagepool to 24 MB. I also didn't notice issues until I ran Sashimi to set up my email (via XML provisioning). I'm not sure if it's an issue with Sashimi or the ROM since I installed and ran Sashimi within minutes of flashing; I didn't really run it for a long time before I installed Sashimi.

Since it was so buggy, I just reflashed with grooveROM. All of the issues went away, so you definitely don't have any permanent hardware damage. I was going to play around with it more tonight to see if I can track down what went wrong. Just flash something else in the meantime and you'll be back up and running.

something you're cooking in is causing the issue... had this happen as well, but now all is fine... sashimi is working perfectly, try and make sure you're using the very latest release from calcu...

oh how stupid of me... also a BIGGG tip is to flash back to the stock shipped rom and then reflash back... usually resolves 95% of glitches!

I've had this issue too. It was so serious yesterday that it prevented me from using practically all my programs including the phone! So I recooked and it turned out fine so far now.

A pattern I noticed is that these problems almost always happened when I installed MS' Facebook app. I haven't installed it since my last flash, and so far it's been fine. Hopefully it'll stay that way.

it is probably cuz the rom is too big

flash back to stock, and make sure the new rom is smaller than 115 mb (is perfect for me)... otherwise it doesn't have enough room to install

hey guys, i noticed one thing that when the issue happened, my STORAGE memory became to be only 90ish MB. It usually is around 110ish MB after a fresh flash. I installed the stock Sprint Rom as suggested, but still got only 90ish MB for STORAGE. But then I took out some of the OEM that I had before and I don't really use them to size down the ROM size and reflashed. Now my STORAGE memory is showing correct size now, 110ish MB upon a fresh flash.

I think maybe the ROM is too big, that cause the partition to screw up and that causes unexpected errors. I think!!!
