[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Action B:
Okay so to start I have a hardware 3 version white HTC evo and it has been recently rooted and is now running sprintlovers ROM.

I don't know if this happened before or after my phone being rooted but now the rear speaker works but frankly doesn't sound so good. I remember some time ago listening to pandora and there being no problem, now listening to music with any sort of depth to it above half volume I hear a distinct hissing/cracking noise that is really kind of annoying. I think this may have been caused by me running GPS while using speakerphone both on loud accidentally. I'm very competent in cellphone/laptop repair and I've looked up how to replace the speaker and where to get the replacement.

Do you guys think that a replacement speaker will fix the problem?

I do not have a warranty of any kind.

Phone sounds NORMAL with headphones and in call through the earpiece.

Thanks in advance. - Brandon
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
yup sounds like your speaker has taken a $h!t. If you've done cell phone repairs before then it should be a no brainer replacing. Ebay probably sells them cheap. Best bet if you dont have TEP. Might want to contact HTC first to see if they will replace it. Wouldnt hurt.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Action B:
Hey thanks for getting back to me quickly.

Okay, what is a "TEP" I'm guessing its some acronym for warranty. When you say contact HTC do you mean to send in for repair, or to have them possibly send me a speaker? Sending in for a repair for something so easy is a pain. Its not worth the 10 bucks or 30 minutes to mail the phone, be without a phone and wait for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
Yes TEP=Total Equipment Protection , it cost $7/month from sprint. Well HTC probably wont send you a speaker since if you open your phone you technical "void" your warranty but yeah the repair is a cake walk. If you have techy know how and no warranty plan than I'd repair it myself. Shouldn't be difficult at all.

HERE is a complete guide on how to do it. SO SIMPLE!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Action B:
Perfect. I've never really had an extended warranty with anything. I usually don't have any serious issues and I'm great at repairing stuff (probably because I never have a warranty). I actually do circuit board repair as a second job in my spare time. Usually on RC cars but I do the occasional computer.

I will respond back with the results of the new speaker transplant.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Action B:
The replacement speaker from ebay made my phone sound great again. Took about 15 minutes to change but a little tip for anyone that purchases a replacement:

You may need to take the foam off of the old speaker and transplant it onto the new one. The foam on the new one was too thin and at first didn't make good contact with the board. Pry off the plastic clear piece with the foam from each and swap to do this.

Also, the tutorial above, the guy is holding the prying tool in what I consider the wrong way. At least it seemed a lot more effortless after turning it around for me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanming:
Hello fellow Atrix users, I had my atrix for approximately 28 days now. Yesterday, I just found out that there are dust particles under the screen. So i called Amazon wireless because i bought from them. They did sending me a replacement phone. However, according to them, after i used the unlock code, i basically void the warranty. Is this true about the warranty? Is this dust behind the screen issue normal?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanming:
So... nobody has this problem at all? The dust particles are somewhere in the top left corner. I think the dust got in from the microphone..:mad:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sun7eash3d:
Had mine since the pre-launch shipment was first delivered and I don't have the dust problem. As for the warranty, what unlock code are you talking about? If it's a sim subsidy unlock, I don't see that voiding the warranty as carriers give it away if you ask for it with no prior warning.

If Amazon is really going to be picky about that, and your phone is in fact sim unlocked, then you're better off reselling the phone for $700-800 and buying a new one with some extra pocket change left over.

I just noticed this today and am very upset by it. I called att and had to leave a message i am going to demand a replacement. I will update if they do or don't give me a problem.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2leaponover1:
Just happened to me recently and it's the first time i ever really put it in my pocket upside down. I have huge pieces of dust behind it now and can't get rid of them. I bought the phone refurbished so i'm sure it's not under warranty anymore.

everytime i try to flash an update newer then JP9 i get an error

and the flash interrupts i tried with jpf and jpm it wont work .. what is sbl.bin file?? i noticed it is missing from JPF and JPM .tar could that be the problem?
[Galaxy 3 General] pflorin:

ive seen many people saying to flash without those cause its dangerous and might brick the phone BUT i cant without those files it wont FLASH everytime same error i get no matter what rom i use ..

is it ok to integrate those 3 files lets say in JPM stock rom and then flash it?? might work??

[Galaxy 3 General] pflorin:
why are you being a smartass with our problem.. if you dont know what are you talking .. shut up!!

the problem is those 3 files sbl.bin .. boot.bin and logo.png .. i will probably risk and add the files to a JPM.tar and flash it .. since nobody gave me a straight answer to this problem.

i asked at samfirmware, here and androidforums nobody has a good answer... everyone just likes to play smart and give evasive answers.

and btw YOU CANT BRICK your phone .. if you flash with the boot files... you ONLY get that error and then you have to reflash a rom that has inside the .tar archive the missing files.

hopefully .. i will find an answer as soon as possible.

big thanks to lestat

but the thing is i still cant go further i tried to flash 1.2.6 and i get same error doesnt seem to want new roms pass JPF :((

did you manage to flash anything after lestat 1.1 devilgod18??

why?? lestat can you help?

you didnt read what i said? i couldnt flash ANYTHING above JPB except lestatious 1.1 and 1.2 which is based on JPF stock ROM.

ive tried JPM stock and all other roms based on that or any rom that is 2011 from january until now ... none works.. everytime same error.

i will try lestats idea to flash an eclair rom and then try to reflash from there step by step until i get to jpm or jpn, hopefully it will work, cause im tired already :(

yeah it could be a bootloader problem..

but be very careful when flashing bootloader if something goes wrong during the process u might have a hard brick
[Galaxy 3 General] pflorin:
Stock XWJPF doesnt have the bootloader in the .tar and it worked for me .. DO NOT REMOVE THE datafs.rfs from the .tar if it has that file because i didnt i only flashed a ROM that didnt had that file inside it and it worked to flash without errors.

i guess i dont have to overwrite the datafs.rfs which the other roms have inside the .tar archive thats why gave me that error, i think.
[Defy Android Development] saman0suke1:
Hello, I flashed a nandroid backup from another site that was supposed to help me on getting 3g working with Eclair, but instead of doing that, now my phone does not get to the main menu, only gets to the motorola logo and then shut down itself and does the same thing, all over again, like being in a loop, I entered into recovery and see there's an option to flash an update.zip, which I supposed can be a functional version of Android, my only backup is a nandroid one, but that does not work right? what can I do? please help me :( thanks

UPDATE: I just fixed it by installing the latest version of RSD LITE and then installing any of the stock sbf for Eclair, thanks anyway, that was close :S

You could've just gone to the stock recovery nad have cleared the cache and data, that would've worked as well.

I've tryed to root the tattoo with superoneclick but it failed to root, since and the end came across some supposely memory errors and when when I boot into system its all apparently the same. I guessed it hadn't done anything so I jumped to the method as described on http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5835675&postcount=1

I even done the gold card. And tried it. it does some command lines with no errors and at the end it boots normally. The problem is when I try to go to recovery mode it doesn't go to it and when I try to go to normal stock boot loader it algo fails. It tries to enter, I even see the screen for some part of a second but it just doesn't enters.

It boots aparently with no errors into to the system, but somehow somethings seem not work properly like factory reset and screen callibration.

It seems I've got stuck between halfway to nothing.

I just wanted some 2.3.3 goodness to my haunt and I'm afraid I've just messed up her phone! :eek:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] htcbobhd2:
Im new to all this please forgive....

what is "rooted"?

I was told if the phone is rooted you download all your apps for free??

how does this work?

where are all the top free apps?

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Robi-K:
Rooting means you have acces or can grant acces to your phones system partition.

It has absolutely nothing to do with free apps. The only thing rooting and apps have in common is that some apps need root privileges to work correctly. Hence those apps will not work unless you root.

With this said, I think you shoud spend a lot of time researching these forums befour you attemp to root. You shoud fully understand what it means as it may have undesired effects if you don't know what you are doing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hyperbyteX:
from my experience I would say DO NOT ROOT. Now A LOT of people here will disagree with me, but the truth is that rooting can make your phone very unstable (e.g. makes it crash very often, and acts glitchy). Also Android already has TONS of customization features and such that iPhone users can only come close to if they jailbreak their phone (same idea as rooting)

I need to do a full wipe in order to get the new ROM to work. So i will lose my data. I want to back them up, in order to restore them later on my new rom. So if i use the titanium backup. How exatcly do i make an backup to get it work later on new ROM.

Thanks for anwsers =)
[XPERIA X8 General] rstdnm:
There's no way you could just back-up your settings and then restore all of them if you want to switch ROMs because the applications would differ in each ROM and new data would be needed.

If you want to back-up your entire ROM (the original one) before changing ROMs <highly recommended, you could use the "backup" feature in xRecovery.

If you want to back-up your apps, I suggest you use Astro File Manager since Titanium Back-up will only back-up ONE APP unless you go pro.

Back-up can be found by clicking the Left Key>Tools>Application Manager/Backup

Regarding your settings however... Titanium can back-up your Wi-Fi settings or Contacts so maybe you could use that.
