I had the same issues on that ROM.

I just downloaded the email app called k9 mail for free from the market, and was able to setup and access my email without an issue.

There seems to be a problem with the stock email app, supposed to be fixed in the next version of the ROM.

I tried k9 before i just didnt like it

Ill update to eco5

I need someone smarter than me (shouldn't be hard to find) to take a look at a force roam mod developed for Sprint phones.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=745092

I occasionally travel and spend time in areas that have an almost unusable Verizon signal but have a great US Cellular signal (USCC is first in my PRL).

I you think you can get this working I would be more than willing to make a higher than usual donation for your trouble. I have no intention to leave Verizon I just wish my phone was usable when in these certain areas.

Thank you.

*I did try the app on the market (Roam Control) with no luck.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seek4:
Please help me, I played around with BBs yesterday and lost radio, so installed a stock FW with FlashTool, and got radio back again, but on some 4x BB.. Wanted the new 58 BB, and found out that a .. ..0.16 FW would give me that, so installed the polish one (found no other), and after that no response when touching the screen!

xRecovery is of course gone after "stocking" (also rooting?), but I have tried a number of FWs for FlashTool, and even FW directly from S-E using Update Service, but still my phone is next to bricked.. I am n00b and could very well have done something wrong unknowingly, and/or overlooked something, but what might that be, and what are my options?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKrisx:
Sounds like corrupted FW. Not a big deal cause without a cracked Bootloader, you realy can't screw the phone up.

Turn phone completely off.

Pop Battery - SIM card - Micro-SD card out.

Let it sit for a few minutes.

While your letting it sit, take your Micro SD card and Format it using your PC.

"not saying this is your issue but I have had the phone lock up and appear to be unresponsive due to a corrupt file on the SD Card and it fails to mount and gets stuck." If you have any files you want to save, copy them to your PC Hard Drive.

Reinsert your SD Card - Sim Card.

Plug your USB cord into your phone " LEAVE THE BATTERY OUT "

Start up SEUS " Sony Erricson Update Service ".

While holding the back button, reinsert the battery.

Follow the instructions and restore the phone to factory settings.

I hope this works for you as this should elliminate any problems that could have or would be occuring prior. If it doesn't, shoot me a mail and I will get with you on messenger for trouble shooting.

_-_- Press Thanks if its useful-_-_
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seek4:
Nope, didn't do it, touched the thanks-bottom anyway, because on my PC I can...

PM'ed xKrisx, but everybody are welcome with suggestions as I'm completely lost without my phone!

Edit while waiting, hoping:

Followed instructions above several times now, except

no such option, wouldn't that be S-E-Android 1.6 ? In fact I see no other options in SEUS than accepting (or not) uneditable choices towards an update -and done-, so I suppose that's what was meant(?)!

Have tried a number of slight variations including SEUS update without sim and SD at all (was actually allowed that), but most noticeable difference was that first boot pre-choose English instead of Danish (my language), and still no response from touch screen, so can't select anything at all!

My phone shows evidence of "moderate physical pressure" (bought second hand with one corner missing), so I can't totally reject the possibility of a sudden HW digitizer breakdown though I think that would more likely have occurred while phone in use than while sitting on my mouse-pad.. No matter what, I would really like to exclude any SW related errors before moving to torx-driver surgery! Plz help guys!

Hi seek4

Did you ever find a solution for your touchscreen?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsato:
I've been rooting and working with custom roms for a long time (couple of years at least). I started with WinMo, and since I got my Evo the day they came out, I've been doing it in Android. I can also use ADB, and can typically recover from pretty much any problem on my Evo. (not claiming to be an expert) HOWEVER...

A couple days ago I loaded the latest Fresh ROM on my phone, and ran out the door while it was loading. Got in my car, the Evo started to reboot after applying the ROM, and zzzZZZIP! The thing went dead. And I mean REAL DEAD. The led which usually shows the charge level as not lit. I pulled the battery and tried to turn it on after replacing it. No go. Nothing when holding down vol while pressing power... nothing. When I got home I tried a wall charger, still no light, no boot, no drive with !, nothing. When the wife got home, tried her Evo's battery... same kind of nothing. USB connection to PC gives no adb access, no fastboot access,... you guessed it, nothing.

Sprint doesn't replace it if you didn't buy the warranty. Called HTC, of course they'll happily replace it, as long as it wasn't rooted. So I have a two part question.

Firstly, because I want my Evo back NOW! No, two days ago! LOL Is there a way to fix it?

Second, if I send it in, is there a way for them to know I rooted it?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trollallot:
Have you tried a different battery? That one may be fried. Just a suggestion.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsato:
Thanks for the quick response! Yep, tried that. I thought maybe I had one of the USB port issues that didn't allow me to charge the phone, but alas, my wife's fully charged battery couldn't boot it (or do anything), and my battery worked fine in her Evo.

I also disassembled the phone to check solder connections both on the battery connector and the usb port... both looked totally fine. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stoney 666:
Well, if you pay insurance on it you could always accidentally lose it and report it lost or stolen.... that's what I would do, but that's just me....

Yup.... The ones yoe momma told ya about.... Bad Seed Customs!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsato:
Yeah, I'll weigh my options. I think I'll send it to HTC first. I really don't think they can read the internal memory in this condition. I think it is probably fried. It is too late for the Sprint TPE (warranty), but but I might be able to finagle a squaretrade warranty. It will take time though. I thought about having a friend list it in eBay as a buy it now for what a new one costs, buy it from him (he give me my money back), and wait whatever period squaretrade requires, and file a claim. They're great, and I should have bought a squaretrade warranty from day 1. I've had it on the two phones prior and had to use it on one of them. They're easy to deal with and cheaper than any other options. Plus, its more flexible since they don't replace the phone, they issue you a refund for it (which would give me the option of switching phones, not that I would).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Are you certain the battery isn't fried? Also, make sure the SD card is fully seated and secure. With the battery OUT, connect your EVO to it's power supply and then reinsert the battery. Sometimes, after doing so, you will see the LED light up. If not, try again. If it still does not, try getting to the Hboot screen by pressing the down volume button while also pressing the power button.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsato:
I am pretty sure I tried that. I pulled battery while plugged in, put battery back, no difference. The first thing I thought was that it was a bad battery connection, because the phone has never worked with the battery out, but plugged in. The battery MUST be in to work. So I disassembled it to check the battery and USB connection solder points, and they look fine.

I called a reputable mobile phone tech and he said he has seen this a few times with rooted Android devices. He said he doesn't think they will be able to read the internal memory, or probably won't go through the effort it would require to (pull the internal memory out and put it in a reader).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toddlmr:
Just pull all your root files off the SD card cause that is a dead give away that it is rooted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N4STYNATE:
Insurance

Going through HTC is going to be a waste of time. Their turn around time is 30 days... And thats if they dont discover the rooting and therefore actually replace it.

Your best bet is sucking it up and paying the $100 deductible for Asurion insurance... If you order on their website www.phoneclaim.com they will overnight for free. However I have heard of it being back-ordered, in which case you will either wait, or be one of the lucky guys who gets a brand new one.

In regards to them seeing your internal memory, I would say its 50/50. They can recover that sort of stuff, but at the same time, HTC is way more lenient with rooting/mods than other manufacturers.

Good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsato:
As it turns out, when you send your phone to HTC, you have to pull your battery cover, battery, microSD card, and any other "accessories" you have off, and keep them. They only want the phone without any of these items. I asked the guy, "you don't want me to ship the batter OR even the cover with the phone, but separate?" He said, "no, they are yours to keep. if you send them to us, they will not be returned." LOL! If they replace the phone, I'll have spare parts! Yaaay! I left my screen protector on it, in case they can fix it, they won't scratch it. Love my Evo y'all!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brownmc77:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well, I don't think they'll find out. Cuz I'm in engineering, and they could try to overvolt the phone [in an attempt to turn it on] but too much a risk of frying the circuits. Also no sdcard so they can't see your files...and way too much work to disassemble...so I think you're good.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsato:
Thanks man, that really is reassuring. I'm kind of on pins and needles over this. I can't afford ANYTHING, much less to buy another phone (I was laid off Jan 1).

I've been desperately trying to learn to program in Java, for Android. Both should provide me with more flexibility financially. I'd rather work as a contractor than FTE any day, but sysadmin type work is hard to find these days. I didn't expect to enjoy programming as much as I am, which is a pleasant surprise. Java isn't so hard. ;-)

I hope to get my Evo replaced under warranty. Then I hope to get more income by the time the new Evo 3D comes out! Not to sideline this thread, but what do you guys think of that thing? I'm also wondering if the new Evo View 4G would work as a phone replacement, just using Google Voice to replace cell service. Most new cars have bluetooth built in, and otherwise can use a bt headset (even stereo headphone type), so you never have to hold it to your head anyway.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsato:
Sorry, I guess I spaced posting my results. The did not know out had been rooted. They just replaced the motherboard and sent out back.

Unfortunately, they downgraded me from hw version 003 to 002. There were also two soft key lights out and I sent it back. Even though I complained about the version difference they still put another v2 in it. I called US public relations and came close to getting a hwy v3 board in but in the end it didn't happen. All they really care is that they made the device work.

Moral of the story is, if your Evo is dead-dead, send it to htc, and now you know what to expect. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You could have signed up for insurance (it's like $7 a month and more than worth it in my opinion), waited a week, then taken it into a Sprint store. If it wouldn't turn on at all and there was no physical damage, they would've replaced it for free. It usually takes a day to get the replacement, when it was back ordered it took mine two days.

I'm not sure if there's a waiting period before you can use the insurance, but even if you had to wait two weeks it still probably wouldn't have taken as long as sending it to HTC. And you would've received a new or decently refurbished phone... at least a 003. Oh well, what's done is done. I suggest getting insurance though. I've used mine twice to get new phones at no cost. I understand money is tight, but a lot of people will be losing their one year warranty soon. I would definitely rather pay $7 a month than have to pay a few hundred for a new phone.

Good luck with your programming experience and finding a new job (if you haven't already) :]

[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
Howdy, folks. Hope I can rely on your feedback regarding a few Inspire related questions, because your answers will determine whether I bring it back or not.

For the record, I'm experienced with HSPL, MAGLDR and have been flashing ROMs since my Kaiser. However, I’m new to Android and only have experience working with DL’s DesireZ on my HD2.

Account Questions:

I picked up an Inspire today for $50 on an upgrade with 2 year commitment. I’ve been off contract for better than three years, but in the process the rep at the AT&T store told me I’d lose my $15/month unlimited MEdiaNet option and they migrated me to a $15/month 200MB data plan. Though I have never yet used more than 200MB per month, I worry about what happens the one month I go over. I’ve seen reports from some users here that they were allowed/able to have their old plans grandfathered. What would you say my chances are of calling AT&T and telling them to restore my MN account and grandfather me? Who should I talk to, or am I just kidding myself?

Stock ROM Questions:

Ok, so no secrets that the AT&T stock ROM is full of crap, and have the following problems:

I can’t run Titanium Backup because the ROM isn’t rooted. I see a couple rooting options, but if you can recommend which option is best and why, that would be helpful.

Android Market shows AT&T apps, rather than 'my installed apps'. How do I fix that?

If I’m able to root and use my (licensed) copy of TiBu, can’t that remove some of the ROM stuff by using the ‘Chuck Norris’ mode? If so, is it possible to incorporate an application in the ROM in its place as long as it fits?

Is there a ROM out there that replicates (identically) the stock ROM but removes the branding and market app issues?

Flashing Questions:

I’m no stranger to HSPL and MAGLDR, having installed it on my HD2. But if I can’t find a ROM that works for me and decide to return the phone, how can I restore the handset to the factory state so I don’t get a raft of $hit from them or void my warranty if I need to send it in for service? In other words, for WM, all I need to do is to reflash a factory ROM from SD. Is there a similar deal here?
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Well first of all welcome to the Inspire.

Well first of all I have rooted 4 inspires with the inspire hack kit. I think it is the best method. If you root there are many att stock rooted roms with all the bloat removed. There are also gingerbread sense roms ready to go. ATT wont even release these roms for another year. If you want your apps att dont list just put you phone in airplane mod and turn on wifi to get them. I use right at 2gb per month. If you are always on wifi you should be ok. I would start on the 2gb plan then downgrade if needed. I used 200mb in 4 days.

If you have other questions just send me a pm.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
And on another note, I was on a $30/month MediaNET/unlimited messaging plan that was lost when they did the upgrade. I called and did a little *****ing and they opened a case with the department that has the ability to put it back on (which I think is BS, as others have said managers have put it back on the spot for them). But anyway, about 8 days later I got a text saying my case had been resolved. They put me on a $30 unlimited plan, and $20 unlimited text plan. So it's a little more pricey, but that wasn't what I was worried about, I wanted my unlimited data back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] techluvr:
I've had unlimited since way back in 2008, during my iPhone days. I didn't have to call and ***** and moan about it until they gave it back, they actually gave me the regular unlimited data that works with the inspire when I switched from iPhone to inspire. Will come in mighty handy due to my modded apn for hotspot capabilities. Anyway, the only way you could get unlimited data now is if you called in and asked. It would be $30/mth, no txts included. Hope I helped in a small way at least!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gflare:
Welcome to the inspire forums!

Personally, through all the threads and videos on the web it seems to be a consensus that the hack kit is the most complete step by step process that yields consistent results. I researched with the youtube videos and even tried to use the GUI, but it failed to push the img to my phone, so I ended up using the hack kit anyway.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952352

I'm not sure which gold-card method the hack kit currently uses, but it is most likely a good idea just to replace those first steps with the Gold Card Maker that nelify came up with.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970157

Aside from that, just follow the hack kit's steps to a standard s-off rooted stock ROM. From there, I recommend flashing any ROM that uses the inspire as a base (ClearDroid or TPC come to mind first, though I haven't used them).

You could get another version of the market app perhaps... but generally this is something that would change using almost any other ROM.

Yes, but depending on what you want to remove you may want to be careful.

Check ClearDroid , or This thread
