[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
Anyway to "adb reboot download"?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] assistantstevie:
nope cause i cant get the usb debugging to work since it wont boot at all
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
Been there once...what I did was...removed the battery ..and out my phone in Download mode...flashed back to Stock 2.1 and did everything again

You said you cant put it in DL mode? were your 3 button combo working when U flashed initial kernel?

Its definitely not bricked, try putting it into DL mode and flash to stock..

1. remove the usb cable, battery, sdcard, SIM.

2. wait 10 seconds, then insert the USB cable.

3. press and hold the 3 button combo while you insert the battery

4. continue to hold until phone's screen goes black twice and release power button.

5. timing is critical, it may not work the first time. Keep going until you see the COM port is connected properly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] assistantstevie:
well when i was flashing initial kernel i just did adb download and the flashed it and when i follow your steps it just puts me back to boot screen and i stay there
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
so did you read the instructions where it says to not use commands like "adb reboot download" or "adb reboot recovery"? and to make sure you had a working three button recovery before you attempted installation of the ROM?

oohh...i didnt check that, so is that what screwed it up? and if so how can i fix it?

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] hattmoward:
In the DC area, you can get T-Mobile signals within many of the underground metro stations, but not while passing between them. This makes the vast majority of IM apps a pain in the rear, as they connect directly to the IM networks and aren't defensive about the possibility of signal drops. So you can imagine why I wanted to get an OMA IMPS compatible app on my HD2 when it's running android.

I'm new to android, so forgive any errors here. I believe phones with stock android cannot write to /system before some sort of unlocking procedure -- HD2 folks don't get that joy, so I've never dealt with it. You'll need ADB from the Android SDK. The basic deal is this:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6918243/wbxml_libs.zip

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6918243/IM.apk

Extract the zip file, and

adb push libwbxml_jni.so /system/lib
adb push libxml2wbxml.so /system/lib
adb push IM.apk /system/app

This is all I needed to do on the CM7-RC SD build I'm running. It doesn't seem to use SMS transport, but it does still use IMPS which has all the nice behavior while I'm disconnected. If you have trouble, look for anything of interest in logcat and post it here.

Here are the confused, google-fueled steps I took, for anyone curious:

- Grab MT3GS update exe. Start it, leave it running waiting for input.

- Start, run "%TMP%". Poke around newest folders, find "rom.zip".

- Google says "system.img" could be one of a few filesystems.

- This turns out to be YAFFS2. Extract all using 'unyaffs' tool.

- IM.apk and IM.odex in apps/. ODEX is the app compiled in a way that is specific to the device/rom.

- Use baksmali and smali to "deodex" the file, hopefully producing a more portable .dex file.

- Open IM.apk as a ZIP file and add .dex file as "classes.dex".

- This isn't quite a complete APK, as it's not signed. I don't have a key (yet?).

- Since installer doesn't like that, push files all willy-nilly instead.

- Push IM.apk and test it - behaves strangely, force closes.

- adb shell logcat. try it again.

- See errors that mention JNI and wbxml, JNI allows java to call out to native libraries.

- Poke around contents of system.img /lib. libwbxml_jni.so looks interesting, push it to /system/lib on the phone.

- Try again. Logcat has a similar error. Find libxml2wbxml.so and push that too.

- This try logs in successfully, send a few messages to test.

If anyone can advise on a way to make a standard APK out of this to avoid the workaround of pushing and the requirement of writing to /system/app, I'd be quite grateful.

Just got an EVO tonight, I would have liked to wait for 3D but I needed faster internet/phone asap since I started my new job.

I've been reading the forums, how to root, etc. the past couple of days, and am in the process of rooting. But there are just so many ROMs all which have there own pros/cons, so I was wondering if anyone had advice based on what I mainly want to use my phone for...

CM7 seems like the most popular, and I care mainly about stability, removing bloatware, and performance, care less about visual stuff. Plus it sounds like you can customize it with themes anyways.

But I've read threads where GPS/4G breaks which is what I care about the most.

I live in OC which has 4G, and that is the primary reason I upgraded from my old phone. 95% of the time this phone will be used for internet/games.

I was debating just going for a stock ROM, but not sure if benefits of a custom one outweighs stock ones.

Does anyone have advice on a stable ROM that improves performance and has little risk of breaking things like 4G? Or at least a few I can narrow down to?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonK75:
