[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillyzxp:
so i'm not sure if this problem has been resolved...but i got a new evo because my old one broke...i rooted it and flashed destroyer basically immediately...what i'm noticing though, is my internet is never running at 3g speeds...its always running at "1x"...what the hell is that...i can still connect to 4g where its available...what could be the problem?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Did you update your profile before or after flashing? If the Rom is AOSP, you may have to make a nandroid backup of your current setup from within recovery and then flash a Sensed-based rom like Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5 and then update your profile. If you're experiencing GPS relayed issues, you would apply the GPS fix also while using the Sense based rom. Afterwards, go into recovery, wipe everything except the SD card and then restore the nandroid backup you made.

i just rooted my epic the other day. i want to get this synicate rom i been hearing about. can someone please tell me in a very inexperienced way how to get it done. what programs i need to down load. i have EC05 on my phone now. I think i have to upgrade somehow to ext4 or something like thta. please help .
[Epic 4G General] SpicyBurrito:
Just follow the instructions in the second post of the ROM thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=976194

When you do the one-click root with CWM3 and boot into recovery for the first time, it'll convert it to EXT 4 automatically. Also, when the instructions say "Wipe data", they mean do it three times each to data/factory reset, cache and dalivik. It will wipe data though, so save any apps you have with titanium backup or mybackup root.
[Epic 4G General] jimmyjames72:
do i need to download the one click 3.0.0 in order to get ext4?
[Epic 4G General] sirzepp:
Yes, SpicyBurrito references this when saying "...when you do the one-click root with CWM3..." You'll need to flash CWM3 to get ext4.

It will convert automatically the next time you boot into recovery...so have a ROM flash ready as the stock RFS ROM will no longer work.
[Epic 4G General] jimmyjames72:
so basically re-root my phone with that cw3 and then should i have the rom already stored on my sd card before i run the cw3? sorry for the dumd questions man but im new to the terms people use here and am a admitted newbie.
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
I have a video posted on what you need to do. There's a sticky thread in the general section :)
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
And yes you do need the rom on ur sd card before you first boot into clockwork after doing cwm3.0.0.6
[Epic 4G General] jimmyjames72:
Ok so heres what im gonna do hopefully its in the right order, please advise.

1 gonna dowload cw3 and sydicate files to desktop

2 going to plug up phone and transfer syndicate to sd card.

3 gonna unplug phone then turn on debugging and connect phone and run the cw3 file and let it run its course.

4 after that process is complete im gonna use the volume down,start and camera button to go into the files and clear all the 3 types of data,

5 then im gonna find the syndicate file and install it from sd card.

is this the way it is done. man i hope so
[Epic 4G General] i n00b teh pwns:
Yes it is.

Just follow the video. I found that rom to be flaky. kept locking my phone. My brother had similar problems

[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
You need to flash the rom b4 u reboot for the first time. Try to go into cwm and flash the rom see if that works if not ur going to have to use odin to flash back to stock and start over
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Hey jimmyjames, let me give you some advice. Slow down a bit.

You're jumping in to the idea of rooting and flashing too quickly. I know you're anxious, but read a bit more and watch some videos. Believe me, I've learned from that too many times.

Like right now, I'm really tempted to flash the new CM7 Alpha 4. But I usually am not comfortable flashing ROMs, so I'm waiting until it's stable enough to flash.
[Epic 4G General] jimmyjames72:
what files do i need to download to start over.? help please. and i will heed all future advise
[Epic 4G General] littlepr:
Acer, I feel ya on that. I am also waiting plus I neef my gps and camera functioning.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
This

But more importantly, you need to practice a bit of self reliance and learn to search for things you need.
[Epic 4G General] Paleryder:
Dont Panic you did nothing you cant fix.

Get back into CW, you would rather not but if you have to pull battery and 3 finger boot .

Apply zip from SD card you choose your zip to apply not the just apply option and navigate to it

the back out to reboot.

ill check back in a few and see how its going
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Alright, to start completely over, you are going to need odin. This will take you back to stock (unfortunately, everything is wiped so you lost everything =\ )

Here is a video: follow this and you should be fine. PM me if you need any help.

Good luck, and be more careful next time!

@littlepr, all I really care about is audio/video playback having no bugs and a camera. I don't really use the GPS, no need for 4G in my area, so that's pretty much it. I'm probably going to flash it once there's either a Beta (depending on how many bugs) or a Release Candidate.
[Epic 4G General] littlepr:
Jimmy, shut phone off, boot up this way, volume rocker down, power buttton and camera button until CW 3.0.0.6 ext4 conversion kicks in. Then select clear data and ckear cache (3 times). Then walk back to root menu and select install from zip. Scroll list intil you see the rom you had saved on the root if the sdcard. That you do it.
[Epic 4G General] Paleryder:
Thats what I said Tell us your ok little buddy were all concerned
[Epic 4G General] jimmyjames72:
im in the process of doing all these things now. ill get back to you guys
[Epic 4G General] jimmyjames72:
oh my god i cant thank everyone enough for all the immediate help. its back up and running. build number is srf 1.1.0/twilightzone 1.1.0 and the kernel is 2.6.32.9 hopefully thats where im supposed to be. what wass so special about this rom. and now that i have it up what apps do i need to change the lockscreen and some other cool features.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Well ROMs are made to stabilize performance and make your experience with the phone better than it use to be. There's nothing you necessarily NEED after getting a ROM, but some things you can get from rooting on the market are like AdBlock, Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, A SystemApp remover or a Terminal emulator for annoying system apps from Sprint you may not want (Although I don't think that's there anymore in SRF 1.1.0, Idk), and the best one of all, WIRELESS TETHERING.
[Epic 4G General] Paleryder:
That's great to hear I am currently on that ROM and it is great. I also highly recommend leaving the ROM on your SD card just incase you should need to reflash it. I also would run it as is for awhile many of the fiixes and such are baked in already. The Genocide kernal is something for future tinkering and OClocking
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howufiga:
I loaded the syndacite rom about 2 weeks ago and i love it. Yesterday i started gettign this error. "twlauncher has stopped unexpectedly". I try to force close it over and over again and even a reboot doesn't work. I reboot twice and it appears a few times then i'm able to use my phone again. Anyone know what the problem is? I used the syndacite fully loaded rom.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Catalyst Shift:
If you can't open settings, try going into CWM > Advanced, and fixing permissions. Can also clear caches, and if that doesn’t work, reflash the ROM.

Actually, just curious. What happens when you try to go into settings? Does the menu come up to enter settings, does it FC when you open?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howufiga:
i couldn't open applications. Everytime I tried in between hitting force close it would just flash then come back and reload over and over again. I had the bright idea of pulling the battery and then it wouldn't boot at all. Had to reflash the ROM. Now need to reinstall all my apps. lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
If this happens in the future, hold down the search key and say something to search for, this should take you to the browser. Search for and download launcherpro, zeam, or another launcher you don't already have. After it installs, hit home and choose the new launcher, then you can clear data for touchwiz. This happened to me when I had one homescreen on touchwiz and it was full, and an app tried to automatically add a shortcut.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
It sounds like a bad reflash though. I've had that, where it FCs so repeatedly that I can't do anything at all. When you have it all set the way you want, make a CWM Nandroid backup, and then restore that backup to turn journaling back on... then battery pulls won't affect you.

You made my day!

What a simple and elegant solution! This error showed up for me last night, and then completely ruined my morning. After searching countless forums and finding nothing but overly technical instructions containing so much jargon I had to search forums to figure out what the instructions meant....I nearly threw my phone up against the wall. Just before I was about to restore to factory settings, I found this thread and these instructions worked PERFECTLY!!! I am not a gadget guy and had a Sanyo Katana that was held together with tape until a month ago, so this solution was right up my alley! I actually registered on this site simply to say thanks. Hopefully the Thanks button will show up after I make this post so I can hit it until my finger blisters.

Thanks to k0nane as well. Once I got LauncherPro to download with zanderman's intructions this helped me clear and reload touchwiz.

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but I can't find any help on this thru searches, so here goes:

Does SynFro 1.1.0 clash with CWM5?

My Epic been on Bonsai 4.0.1 (CWM 3.0.0.6, ext4, golauncherex) for a long time. I used Rom manager to update CWM to 5, and to flash the ROM Syndicate Fro_fully loaded 1.1.0 . Seemed to run fine at 1st (hr or so) then while DL'ing a goLauncherex from market, the system froze. after battery pull and reboot, I had constant FC's. Booting into recovery from Rom manager lead to a generic Android recovery system (instead of CWM).

Powered off, 3 fingered into CWM, which suddenly had reverted to v3.0.0.6 . Tried to restore Bonsai, but only got error msgs ("syste.img not found. skipping restore of /system" same with data, android_secure, cache, sd-ext, etc. )

Had to triple wipe (data,cache, dalvik), reflash my bonsai rom and re-update CWM to 5 to get back to a normal functioning phone.

If the issue here seems to be conflicts between older roms clashing with newer CWM versions, is there a way to check which ROMs require which CWM?

thanks for your time.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
Gonna try to help.

Both SFR and bonsai are oollldddd roms. SFR froze up because it isn't journaled. I highly recommend using ODIN to get to stock EC05, then update to EL30. Then use qbking77s "How to root Samsung epic 4g gingerbread" video to get CWM and root.

CWM 5 can flash any Rom, but those roms in particular are so old and buggy.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AproSamurai:
I've got you man. :)

What you need to do is direct your attention to this thread right here by DRockstar: RECOVERY] ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7 BML Officially supported by ROM Manager

What you had done wrong was you installed through Rom Manager, which is a temporary flash ontop of CWM 3, it in itsellf is not CWM 5 installed. Within that thread you've a choice of an update zip of CWM 5 or a Odin tar, CWM zip is preferrable. But otherwise you should be fine. The zip from within that thread is more final.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epiclectic:
Ok, I got the real CWM5 zip, flashed, now all roads lead to CWM5, so that part is fine. And I stopped trying those olds ROMs , tried to flash SynIce.

My Epic runs Bonsai4.0.1, I did the triple wipe and then flashed the rom (from CWM5) but I get the following:

SYN Ice Logo

"Take a shower, pick an outfit, put on some smell good, call my crew.."

then the yellow bar freezes about 15% into its progress. it eventually kicks back out to CWM. no msgs or errors to share. I dont have access to Odin (or a PC) and Heimdall wont recognize my epic....any1 having similar probs? is it my kernel? I see suggestions sometimes to use Odin to switch from "EC05" to "EL30"...i thought flashing the ROMs changed your base ROM (DK28, EL13, etc) to the one it needed....is that not the case?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Never heard of synice... I would really suggest odining to ec05 just to clean up the phone and then root and flash... just cleaner that way... btw where did you find that rom...

Well then he's posting in wrong forum then but I refered it to SRF or Syndicate Ice idk that's just me lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epiclectic:
My apologies, i'm a dumbass. LOL, I was trying SyndicateRom Frozen last week and it failed. I was told it is old, so in searching for a newer ROM, I found Syndicated Ice and didn't see the "touch" part. (my only excuse is it was after ~9 hours of frustration from a Odin/heimdall/parallels/CWM nightmare. )

you helped me figure out the prob tho, im lucky i dont have a brick after flashing that kernel w/the ROM. thx!

price cut today at O2 UK

Same price as old Desire!!!

£329 + £10 top up! (free unlock from o2)

go website! to o2

Who's getting one!?
[HTC Desire S] jfran:
wonder if its the same instore, and does it have any O2 branding on it?
[HTC Desire S] mariu$:
1 prob not

2 prob yes
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
yes there will no software branding. but i dont think there will be any physical o2 logo brandings..

Should i get this or the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 ??
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i prefer desire s over the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 :D

go to the shop & give them both a try & see what feels better for you
[HTC Desire S] colgate13:
O2 didn't cut the price today. It has been this price for awhile now.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
thanks.

i have already tried the i9000 out loads and loads of times and i already have a tab which is similiear.

i havemt treid out the ds though, only the increible

my only concern is the community isnt big enough as the desire was at tgis time last year! everyones moving on to the dual cores
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
every one here has the same concerns too...hope the community gets bigger..there has been a recent increase in the number of people here hope it gets better :)

but i can tell you that the build quality of the DS is much better than the galaxy s i fell it also looks better & is the correct size...but peoples tastes differ...
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
yeh, is this also going to make a US release? if not our community will be qute small and there will be very little development. TBH, i cant see many peopl going for this device. they will mostlikely to forward with the dual core phones...Thats probably why o2 have mad it cheap - not many ppl are buying it :(

I think this has superior software, and hardware to the SGS, its also much newer... but battery life how will it be??
[HTC Desire S] nicky041192:
I'm planning on getting one but I don't fancy shelling out £400 for a sim-free unit.

I did see the o2 store having them in stock for £330.

BUT I have a few questions:

1. They can unlock it free? Don't you need to be on the network for a while and pay for them to unlock?

2. Is there any o2 branding on the back or front?

3. Is there any o2 bloatware installed?

4. Have o2 disabled any features? Such as wi-fi hotspot?

5. Is there an o2 logo on the bootscreen?

I like to have my phones clear of any bloatware and any branding. But £400 is a bit much for me for a phone.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
1) they unlock it if you email them or something. i read it on the website. its free and easy. you dont need to have the phone for any required time

2) no physical o2 branding.

3) yes there is some o2 bloatware on it. such as apps, boot screen, pictures, videos, ringtones.

4) not sure. probably not.

5) yes i've seen it on the old desire.

Imo, get this and then flash an unbranded htc official rom somehow its much cheaper than buying it simfree.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Actually considering this now or SGS II as it will have a price drop and has a large community!

anyone else going for this?! :)
[HTC Desire S] nicky041192:
Hmm. Maybe I can convince carphonewarehouse to reduce the price a bit and offer a case free too XD

You can haggle :L
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
really!? can you actually do that?
[HTC Desire S] nicky041192:
sometimes :L

It depends who's working I guess.

You just ask if it comes with a case, if he says no, ask him/her what cases are available. Then look, then say that the cases are expensive for what they are and say you HAVE to have a case like its OCD. Then walk off. They sometimes ask you to come back and 'negotiate' a deal :L Sometimes works on contracts getting a couple months free etc.

Or say another company like phones4u have offered you a better deal. Then carphonewarehouse may give you an even better deal. :)

EDIT: And just make sure you know your stuff and not make things obvious. If you have been with carphonewarehouse for a while and you are due an upgrade but want to cancel, they are most likely to give you a great deal on a newer contract, but won't not a new phone, to keep you with them. My sister is on a 24months contract few hundred mins, unlimited text+internet for £15 a month with 14 months free.

They all negotiate to get commission. As long as the deal doesn't make them a loss than they should be fine.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
ah, i see :P quite smart!

I'm a payg customer anyway with a contract on giffgaff. so i only get simfree phones. (or can be unlocked)

my friend did that when he got his htc legend on vodaphone. thanks for the tip!

personally, im getting it from o2 payg in summer. or hopefully by then, the incredible will match its price ;)
[HTC Desire S] Komatoes:
Looks like this may be the way to go rather than buying SIM free, which is about £380...

These guys claim to be able to unlock any HTC phone for $15.75 too (about £10).

http://www.htcsimunlock.com/

I might wait until the Desire S gets rooted though, and by that time the price will have dropped more - especially when the dual cores are out. I hope so anyway. :D
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
same here!

o2 will do a free unlock , so u dint need to gi to that website!

i'll be getting mine in summer :)
[HTC Desire S] Komatoes:
Yes I noticed before that you said they will unlock it for free, but I'm not convinced! ;) (no offence!) :D
[HTC Desire S] nicky041192:
I went to the o2 store yesterday and they said you have to wait 3 months before you can unlock it and will cost £15.
[HTC Desire S] Komatoes:
In which case I would rather do it straight away for £10 :p

They may unlock it for free at the end of your contract, but I'm not sure why they would do it before?

@nicky041192, was it the same price in store?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I'll post a link and prove you wrong :P
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Also wasnt all o2's phones once all sim free? back in the daqys when i used to get the XDA range, i remember they were all sim free phones?
