[Milestone XT720 General] alex0329:
And you would put the wanted rom folder in the nandroid folder where the dexters folder is on the sd card right? And also if I had Dexters version already, would I have to do anything different when flashing wanted's rom or just restore over it?
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
Yes the rom would go in the nandroid/openrecovery folder on the sdcard & no there is not a difference in the procedure from one ROM to another.
[Milestone XT720 General] alex0329:
Alright Ill try it again thanks

Hi xda. I was hoping you could help me.

On my last ROM installation I had a big problem with facebook contact syncing. What happened was I installed the facebook app and synced with that as well as syncing with the facebook integration of the contacts app.

It was a big mess.

My question to you lovely folks is this: which method should I use for best results?

Facebook application, or contacts application facebook sync.

Thank you very much
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dread This Day:
Honestly, I sync both (possibly needlessly). I have had small issues in the past, but as of awhile now, not one single problem. Might depend on the ROM. I run Adrynalyne's Super Clean 2.9. I love it. What I personally suggest, TRY syncing them both again, if that's what you like, or just Sync the Facebook App as the Facebook App Syncs everything that the Phone Facebook Sync does.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JIM0:
So I currently have a Motorola Milestone X. I would like to root it and give it a Gingerbread theme. Problem is, nobody seems to have one of these things yet it seems. From what I can tell there isn't a whole lot of difference from the official Verizon device and its unbranded counterpart. Below is the info from the about section:

System Version:

Version.3.1.39.MB809.ACG.en.US

Model number:

Milestone X

Android version:

2.2.1

Baseband version:

BP_C_02.06.00R

Kernel version:

2.6.32.9 - gace4441

qgd748@il93lnxdroid09 #2

Build number:

RETAIL

Any sort of help or advice would be awesome, I'm cautious about using the bootstrapper etc seeing as this phone is so easy to brick. :confused:

Root

Came across your post earlier when I was trying to find out how to root my phone.

Mine had the same stats, and I was able to root it.

This is what I did.

I downloaded and installed all the Motorola drivers.

http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-E...arging-Drivers

Hooked the phone up and went through each mode to ensure all the drivers were installed.

I then installed the latest version of SuperOneClick from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

I then extracted and ran SuperOneClick, chose the psneuter exploit and clicked root. This was able to root the phone. I did need to reboot the phone before the superuser application would work though.

I just got this phone so I really haven't done anything more than get root access, it will probably be a little while before I investigate using a custom rom.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JBTY:
That sounds easy however do you in fact have a Motorola Milestone X Or Motorola mb809 (says behind the battery) or the Droid x from Verizon? because a friend of mine has this phone and wants to root it and i will be doing it for him and dont want to mess up :) cause these things arent cheap :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] leoh:
I did the root no problem!

Now the ROM thing I'm having a tough time deciding to do it.

So I thought that I would take the lazy way out and use visionary r14 to permroot my g2 to get cyanogen like I did on my g1. I had the ota update and it was stock everything. I did the permroot and now I'm stuck on the htc boot screen. I know theres other posts but I can't find one that explains the situation I'm in or how to go about it. s-on hboot 0.82.0000 radio 26.03.02.26_m. I tried to apply the pc10img.zip to no avail and got and error saying the version is older. Can anyone help me with some clear guidance?

[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
So I read that before I ruu , I need to make sure that S-ON , where do I double check that. In the bootloader screen all I see is ENG S-OFF. Is this the same? And if so, why isnt S-ON tool working for me then?

you are going to have to read a little bit but the answers are in there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
I originally had ENG S-OFF. The S-ON tool didnt work. I then went through Steps 2-3 of the hack kit as it helped others. I went thru them successfully and only got to S-OFF. I then tried the S-ON tool again, and still nothing.

UPDATE: Got it working using code from this thread:

[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
You can also rerun hack kit and change one line on the phone terminal command to restore s on. Instructions are in that thread. Worked for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
I was ENG S-Off, I got back to S-On by redoing steps 2 and 3 of the hack kit, but in step 3 of the hack kit it tells you to enter the commands:

./gfree -f

sync

Instead do:

./gfree -s on

sync

Run RUU

Done

Yep, that code worked , thanks guys.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuarkGluonSoup:
CM7 for captivate is pretty stable. If you want better battery life, get TheEscapist's kernel and UV it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mswirski:
CM7 is really the only one. There is MIUI, which I personally use and enjoy, but its based off CM7, so it can't really be called any more stable.

My suggestion is to wait a few weeks, and surely stability will improve as CM7 moves out of beta.

Concerning Darky's GB ROM has anyone read if it going to be like his 9.0 version which could be used for i9000 or Captivate? Or are we going to to have to Flash a Captivate ROM and Kernel to it ourselves? I post this on Darky's Forum but never saw or I just missed the answer to this.

ofcourse he will make it for I9000 but there are many devs who help us by porting it for captivate...so lets hope....someone does it for GB rom too :P
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyShroomz:
If you have any questions I will answer them for you, but I will try to explain it as simple as I can.

When was your last upgrade used? If it was used before March 31st 2010 you should not lose the upgrade as you've already reached the 1 year mark. The system could change it, at which point you'd have to call and ask them to reset it, in a very kindly manner because they can say no.

If it was used after March 31st, you will lose it unless you've been with Sprint for 10 years or more, or you are on one of the new plans that still qualify you for yearly upgrades: $89.99 or higher for individual plans and $169.99 for family plans.

If you've been with Sprint 10+ years you will never lose the yearly upgrades (unless Sprint completely scraps the program). Same thing goes if you are on one of the plans I mentioned above.

If you're confused, let me know.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiftwig113:
umm i just spoke to a rep and she said that i'm elgible for an upgrade on july 1 2011. and i'm only on the 69.99 and only been with sprint for a year. did she lie?

Ok, so I upgraded june 4th 2010 when I got my evo. So I will not get my upgrade this june? I was told I didn't have to worry this year? I really hope I am understanding this wrong.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyShroomz:
Not necessarily, but come April 1st the program changes so your upgrade would be removed from July 1st 2011 to May 2012 as you're not meeting the newer qualifications to give you 1 year upgrades.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hrshycro:
Okay:

3 Lines

Switched to Sprint / Contract started the day the evo launched

Currently have $150 dollar discounts x 3 - Says they were available the 1st of the month, but have been there since December.

Going to loose them or not, and if so, when - what do I have to do to get them back?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyShroomz:
Correct, because the program changes and the price plan you have to meet to qualify you for year upgrades go up. Unless you switch to a qualifying plan, you will not qualify June 4th 2010. You would have to call back in June and ask for an upgrade reset.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyShroomz:
This is an odd scenario, you switched all 3 lines June 2010? If so, how are all 3 lines qualifying for full upgrade? Only your main line would. Did you buy your Evo on the street or at full price? It could also be a system error that shows you qualify on all 3 lines instead of just the main line, in this case there's a 50/50 chance the system will not kick your upgrade once they do the sweep April 1st.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hrshycro:
Ha, that's why I posted it...it hasn't remotely matched anybody else's scenario.

We switched from att to sprint (never been with sprint before) in June....maybe it is a system error!

I called and asked and the Guy said that all 3 qualified for $150 discounts.

On April 1, can Evo owners call in to have their upgrade for this year reset, to potentially get a Nexus or Evo 3D?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyShroomz:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dec3ption:
I last upgraded Dec 2009, so I have been sitting on my 1 year premiere upgrade for a few months. I won't lose it April 1 and be stuck with the $75 off upgrade until I hit 22 months will I?

No, the system will change it automatically but you can call to have them reset it.

I really would like the new evo and give this one to my brother but need to use his upgrade since he is the primary for some reason and gets the yearly upgrade.

Yes, this is common practice - to use another lines upgrade and switch the phone to whatever line you want.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PikkonX:
What I really meant is that will I run into any issues when June 1st hits and I want to reset my upgrade to this year?

I've been with Sprint for 11 years.

My wife has been on our plan for 7 since we got married.

I used my upgrade in Aug. last year, and my wife has not used hers in 2 years.

Will she lose her upgrade if not used by a certain time?

Also for arguments sake lets say she used her upgrade in August also and is on a 69.99 plan. Even tho she has only been with Sprint 7 years, but I am the primary person on the plan and have been with them for over 10 years will she still get yearly upgrades?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyShroomz:
Only the primary line on the account get's a yearly upgrade. Now if she places herself on the $89.99 plan she will also qualify for yearly upgrades. You automatically qualify as you've been a customer for 10+ years. You wives upgrade will also not be lost as shes had it for over 22 months. Your line will become available in August again as you've been with Sprint 10+ years.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blitzpwnage:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. slaughter:
quick ? for ya Dirty.

I was with Nextel since before the merger and If I had to guess I'd say it was since 2001 or 2000. I herd of the other stories about others that had their tenure reset when systems changed in '05 supposedly and stuff like that, which they had to call in to have fixed.

I stayed with Nextel even after the merger, until later after the MotoQ came out and then switched over which at the time. Now when they had me do this they had me port my number over from Nextel b/c the systems wern't the same at the time being. Regardless they currently have my starting tenure set at 2007 which is way off. I've been emailing CS back and forth trying to fix it with little luck so far as just now they are letting the "research team" look it up and find out when it should be.

Anything specific you can think of that I can tell them to help ease the change would be greatly helpfull.

thanks for roaming around the forums helping out and posting info for us!

I got my Evo in June like most and was banking on the 10+yr qualification allowing me to upgrade but now I dont have that and b/c my plan is the 59 one that I got forced to switch to from my SERO plan to get the EVO. I guess if I can't get it sorted out I can call and ask for the 2yr pricing asking nicely...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Royvin:
I'm in the same boat you are and I want an upgrade because when I signed up for Sprint I was told that I would get an upgrade next year and that was one of the reasons I signed up with Sprint so that I could get a new phone every year. I really hope they let me upgrade.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyShroomz:
If you already have your upgrade it will not get removed.

If youre on the $89.99 plan or $169.99 plan for at least 3 months when June comes, yes. If not, no. You may have a harder time getting a reset as you have not been with the company a year.

Nobody in Sprint should be upgrading airave lines, it's well known that you're not supposed to. If you get lucky, then, lucky you but you may run into some trouble in the future when you need something and they realize what they did.

Before Sprint and Nextel merger, Nextel was a completely separate company, meaning your tenure with them has nothing to do with Sprint. I know, it sucks, but lets ask ourselves - why would Sprint count your years with another company PRIOR to Sprint buying them? Your tenure starts when Sprint/Nextel merged.

the words bait and switch come to mind... oh wait thats exactly what this is.... and its illegal...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyShroomz:
Not really. Yearly upgrades are a perked and can be added/removed/changed at anytime. If you joined when a perk was one thing and then it changed, it does suck but there are plenty of users who have been with Sprint for years who have taken advantage of 3+ years of yearly upgrades
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eck0728:
Just because they have disclaimers doesn't make it ethical at all. Sprint reps say hey come to sprint we give you yearly upgrades and you get awesome phones like the evo and next year's "evo" and right about the time everyone gets an upgrade they say "oops its time we change you into two cats, people who pay us 90$ a month or have been with us for 10 years, but screw you nextel people" seriously its a load of **** and in every practical way of the law its Bait and Switch but who the hell cares about the law when you have disclaimers.

also before the evo sprint never had a phone that was worth yearly upgrades so it didn't matter to them when they had yearly upgrades on dumbphones... now that they get high end phones they screw everyone over its a load of ****
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. slaughter:
Thanks for the response but thats not what others were told nor myself even. When you buy a company you buy everything they have, so that includes tenure and everything inside it. Regardless this is how it has gone in the past, and also how I was informed it would be by multiple people.

No biggie though just end up calling up and asking for the 2yr pricing when the phone releases, if they can't get my dates sorted out by then.

thanks again for the response.

To clear a few things, if you have your upgrade already you won't lose it. If you are GETTING your upgrade after April first you will lose it. Sprint doesn't take upgrades away from people that alreay have it, and the people losing it after April first is because they don't have it yet. They would have qualified to have it June under old policy but new policy says no.
