[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
If you worked at AT&T and you used any of our software in your work they would fire you!

and train your staff to do so? you are asking for trouble.

and the only way to flash it from the SD card (internal only not external) you have to use a hacked ClockworkMod Recovery or hacked 3e recovery. MORE REASON TO GET FIRED.

Use your approved software only.

Samsungs official tools are ODIN one click for ATT stock eclair and ODIN3 flashing utility, which uses tars. BOTH run from PC only.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mepis:
Maybe that is just a HTC feature then? I know with the inspire and Aria I can use a stock zip file and reflash the phone from the stock recovery menu. I could have sworn You can use an update.zip to do the same with the captivate as well.

And keeping software off the work PC is my primary goal. We have enough pull with our market manager we can use sd cards to reflash phones. Doing so from a PC is not doable. I'm also only looking for stock roms. Flashing stock roms would be acceptable.

At any rate, I'm not looking for a flame war either. My concern is being able to help the customers first. We subcontract for AT&T. My concern is not AT&T, but the customer themselves. Which is the reason I can bend a few rules here and there for certain things.

For instance I had a customer the other day that bought an inspire from a corp store. The camera app started freezing. The phone was still DOA. The corporate store was out of stock. In this case the customer's official options were to wait via mail, or exchange for a refurb through us. Thankfully I own an inspire and had my laptop with me at work that day (unrelated project). I keep the stock PD98IMG.zip on my laptop as a back up just to be safe. Reflashed his phone with stock image. Issues were resolved for the customer. Everyone was happy.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAGr8:
stock zip files are usually updates , OTA type of thing .. maybe HTC has full wipe version available ...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Have you looked at Heimdall? It's supposed to be a cross platform tool. Google it and see what you get.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
yeah i wasnt trying to flame but i was trying to make sure you understood what you were asking...

the only way i could see doing it, to get stock with no PC...

you need eclair with 2e recovery (doesnt need signed update.zip files)

rename any "Stock.zip" to update.zip and copy to sd root

boot into 2e recovery "install update"

if you arent eclair, you must root, fix the recovery with 3e fix in my sig, use hacked 3e to flash....

most stock roms are still UN rooted, so all will be good after flash.. (as far as rooting and 3e)

here is a Jh7 stock

http://www.ponack.net/designgears/JH7_OTA.zip

too bad you arent rogers, i have most of their stocks in zip and odin...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Hey Tru, talking about that. Do you have a cwm flashabled rogers 2.1 and 2.2 ROM? (that would come with the original kernel and modem)

I don't need it atm but would be a nice backup and I don't really like Odin, for personnal reasons :rolleyes: lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkley:
So final answer is, yes or no, not possible to restore to stock (or near stock) with no PC?

Currently running 2.2.1 custom rom and the PC/Captivate no longer talk to each other. (not the cable, the pc, the usb port, rear port, etc...)

EDIT

Well, flashing the above ROM via CWM bricked the phone (more or less). Now only boots to the AT&T splash screen and just sits there.

Which is fine with me, I'm sending it in for repair anyway as the USB to PC doesn't work so good luck trying to recover this POS...5th Captivate for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:

[Focus General] d2t:
Is there a way to make the vibrations stronger, when the phone is in the Vibrate mode?

I keep the phone in my shirt pocket and most of the times I miss the vibrate ring. Compared to my old HTC TD2, its as if the Focus doesnt vibrate at all.

Thank you in advance.
[Focus General] Blue1k:
Really?? I found the Focus to have one of the best vibrate functions I've used. Weird. Mine has great vibrate. Much better than my HD7.

I appreciate the link. But it's not what I'm looking for. I need to original stock rom that I can flash through the boot loader with the built in recovery screen to return a phone to stock. Same as having the PD98IMG.zip for the inspire, but for the aria.

I know sometimes I easily overlook things, but I'm having a hard time finding this, hence this thread.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
I don't think you can flash back to stock rom through recovery. You can come close with attn1's liberated aria 2.1 but it is not "from the factory" if that is what you are looking for.

BE WARNED: If you wind up flashing the official 2.2 firmware from HTC you will not be able to root your phone again as it stands now.

I'm pretty sure you can unroot your phone.

U need to flash it through your computer but search for HTC aria stock 2.1 ruu rom make sure it is not 2.2 or else you will get no root.

You can flash it through HBOOT. Just extract the rom.zip from the RUU executable, rename it to LIBEIMG.ZIP and put it on a gold card.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigermunit:
Well after installing few games and reflashing my recovery after accidentally putting an older version on, I somehow in turn corrupted my boot loader, system files, data etc, so much so that my backups would boot once but never a second time, clearing my cache and dalvik only made it stuck on htc screen and afterwards it just repeatedly booted into clockwork over and over. This all happening after trying to also make a new nand backup where it hung at system for 30 minutes only to eat up my battery from 100 to 10.

it does charge, I tried using the buttons to boot into fastboot and hboot but it doesn't seem to work, but fastboot usb comes up with I turn it on while connected to the computer but sadly I keep getting error 171 when I try to RUU it.

I called sprint and was told since I have had the phone for less than a year I can get a free one from htc just need to go to sprint and let them fiddle with it, if they can fix it then it's a free repair if they can't its a free replacement, I am supposing no traces of rooting can even be seen the phone literally has nothing on it, it nuked itself while I went to take a leak, left it on updating 10 applications, backing up the others and flashing my cw3 recovery, after that it was acting up, kept booting to recovery than after flashing things and formatting it nuked everything else recovery and all.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Well, maybe you have a brick. Cool you have the warranty. And if xda can't find a way to fix it, sprint almost surely cannot, lol. I would say get the new one sent to you, that way when you send the old one back it will be too late for them to tell at you - IF they figure it out.

Yeah, I may not post alot but that's due to college and church, otherwise I would be making guides and helping out in Q&A instead of asking for it now haha, I tried so many things and nothing worked so I concluded a brick, sadly I'll never know why my phone randomly nuked itself, I didn't do anything I normally don't was so odd.

Update: they couldn't fix it so they are sending me a new phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xvicedice:
Hi i am pretty new to his i have upgraded to CM7 and everything works fine but i noticed posts about changing the kernal, I am now looking to change to a new rom, the RCMIX do i have to change a kernal or shall i just full wipe and install rcmix zip from the recovery
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Just a full wipe, and flash RCMIX from recovery that will install it's own kernel.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedayat7:
i believe you come from Samsung or any other device where you need to flash kernel first and then flashing rom.

HTC is different, the rom itself contain the kernel. Just flash the rom, it contains the kernel. :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjiki:
Try out the ROM first, and then if you want to further optimize your overclocking, you can try other kernels. (usually the built in rom will work just fine)

Personally I recommend Jkoljo's utility to do that
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
If you do find a kernel you like and you flash another ROM you will have to re-flash the kernel again.

This is because, as previously stated, ROMs will install their own Kernel.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
I'm committed to using Launcher Plus Pro, it's the ideal home replacement for me - has a lot of sense-like widgets that I love, plus a ton of added features/customizable elements that Sense couldn't even dream of competing with. I'm rooted, but still running stock, haven't flashed a rom yet, just a couple of system tweaks.

Anyway, my question is - should I flash an AOSP rom to run Launcher Plus Pro over? Would my phone run much smoother and more efficiently if LPP wasn't running over Sense? I've deleted all widgets/apps from my Sense set-up, and set LPP as default, but does the fact that Sense is still there take anything away from my phone's potential? I know if nothing else, sense takes up more MB than AOSP, so maybe that alone is reason to switch?

Assuming I do flash an AOSP rom - any suggestions, considering I'll be running LPP over it? Would one be better suited than another?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Being that this phone has 768Mb of memory. running LP over sense shouldn't be an issue. How ever i'm clueless as to why you want to use LP, due to the pretty widgets then turn around and delete the same exact widgets from Sense.

LP looks so much like Sense that it's not even funny. The only thing that is different is the actual launcher button.

But to answer your question I'd run Cyanogen(mod).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Well, that's the thing that makes Sense - the widgets. LPP has similar widgets, so it can take on Sense in that respect. Yes, the widgets are similar, but IMO they actually work BETTER than their Sense equivalents. For instance, while Friendstream looks cool, it was painfully slow to use. The Friends widget on LPP is as fast as posting directly to facebook. Another example is the calendar widget, I love the way the LPP one functions, you get both grid and agenda in one sharp widget. So right there, LPP is better due to functionality. After the widgets, LPP has several other major benefits: transition effects if you're into that kind of thing, landscape mode, ability to resize widgets to your liking, and of course - the dock. The dock is really the main reason I decided to ditch Sense. I don't even use myfaves, so it was ridiculous to have a launcher that takes up so much screen space and offered very little functionality.

So in short - I replaced Sense with LPP because it has what makes Sense cool (the widgets) plus many other great features that are missing from Sense. No other replacement has the added functionality AND the widgets.

BTW, thanks for the tip on Cyanogen, that's probably what I'll wind up doing.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christopher3712:
CM7+LauncherProPlus is what i'm on. I used to be a big fan of ADW until I tried LPP. When you do this, you can completely remove ADWLauncher from /system/app and replace it with LPP. Just make sure you fix permissions before your reboot the phone. You want LPP to have rw-r-r permissions.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Thanks for the tip! I think this is what I'll wind up doing - no sense having 2 launchers on the phone if one is never used. I'm just a little paranoid about screwing something up with the permissions and all that :-/
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sundayhustler:
I was happy with the rooted stock rom and I also prefer Launcher Pro Plus over Sense. It has so many additional features and settings that Sense doesn't. I like the Facebook and Twitter widgets and the fact that rotation works on the home screen.

For 3 or 4 months, I used the stock rom, rooted, with a lot of the stock apps removed, and with LPP. But a few weeks ago I finally got around to trying out CM7. Today I'm running RoyalGinger. Yes, the aftermarket roms are slightly faster and it is nice being able to overclock. Plus, it's nice not having the Sense apks running in the background. Also, I like the call blacklist feature in Gingerbread. But the stock rom worked 99.9% of the time, whereas the aftermarket roms probably only work 99% of the time. I occasionally find bugs here and there.

The stock rom worked fine for me and there really wasn't anything that I couldn't do with it. I just wanted to try some aftermarket roms cause I like to screw around and hack stuff. But was there really a great deal of benefit from updating the rom? Not really. Would I do it all over again? Probably not.

But I'm relatively happy right now on RoyalGinger 1.6 and I'm too lazy right now to flash back to stock, so I'll probably leave it like this for a while. Take that for what it's worth. :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Thanks for sharing your experience, it's actually very helpful and relevant as that's pretty much my exact scenario! Yeah I'm on the fence about whether or not to flash a new rom, especially after hearing that it doesn't change the performance of the phone too much. And I'm actually overclocking on stock right now - that was one of the main things I rooted for, to be able to set overclock/underclock profiles. Unless I'm missing something, you don't have to flash a rom to overclock, just a kernel (I'm using faux's smartass).

[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
saw the same thing happen last night. Kid told me today that sprint insurance doesn't cover screens anymore. Said they won't even look at an EVO if the screen is cracked. Is that true?
[EVO 4G General] thunder2132:
The Sprint store here doesn't cover glass screens. Best Buy has their insurance policy and they will cover cracked screens though. My friend just dropped his Evo and it cracked the screen, when he had someone repair it they accidentally punctured the LCD with a piece of the broken glass. He now has a fairly dead Evo, but the guy is willing to replace the parts next week when he gets them in.
[EVO 4G General] IPFR33LY:
It honestly is very easy to repair the digitizer and the LCD screen (Depending on which one you need).

I knew fairly nothing about the phone, I did a little research and bought the "Type 1" LCD screen for the HTC Evo. The connector was too small so I did more searching, I eventually found the right screen at GlobalPartsDirect. (Search google).

It has the Wide Connector that you'll need if you have one of the HDW004/3. I personally would open up the back of the phone and check the connector myself, If i were you.

It's an easy fix, only question, do you have the money to buy two from globalpartsdirect (They only ship in multiples). Then you're golden, plus, you'll have an extra LCD screen to repair your phone if it happens again.

TEP no longer covers cracks over an inch in length. A small crack can get replaced because it is covered under normal wear.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
No, they won't even look at it. I was told exactly that by the rep of the repair center I went to. "We are not allowed to even touch the phone if the glass is cracked." They will not fix it. I even offered to buy the parts myself and pay for the labor, and that is when I was told they can't even look/touch it.

Got to love insurance fraud

Sent from my spaceship!
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Well, it's total equipment protection in the same sense that a bumper-to-bumper warranty covers your car. If your car's engine takes a crap on you and your car is under warranty, they will fix it. However, if there is a rock on the road and you go over it with your car and crack the oil pan, all the oil leaks out and then your engine gets seized, you wouldn't really take it to the dealer for a warranty repair, would you?

In that case, you would call your car insurance company which is where Asurion comes in.

Gravity is not Sprint's fault. However, I think they should fix the phone if you are willing to pay for it instead of having to find some 3rd party electronics repair shop to do it. If they did, then maybe people wouldn't be committing insurance fraud like DirtyShroomz mentioned.

See, if I drop my phone now again and I call Asurion, they will replace it and then refuse to give me coverage until a year passes by, since you're only allowed two claims per year. If Sprint would have fixed my phone for $100, I would have given them the $100 instead of Asurion and saved the claim for the day I lose it or damage it beyond repair. I think Sprint is actually losing revenue by turning away repair jobs from phones that fall under the "physical damage" category.
[EVO 4G General] thunder2132:
Correct, Sprint's coverage has never been accidental. They used to occasionally cover drops, but spills and water damage have always been out of the question. It's the reason I buy my phones at Best Buy. I don't have to wait for a rebate, and I can get 100% accidental (full submersion included) protection on my phone, with a loaner phone if it needs to be sent out. It's 10 bucks a month, but compared to a new phone it's not bad.

That being said, I don't have it on my Evo as I know how to change out LCD panels now.
[EVO 4G General] eddiewaynec:

[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
I have seen so much incorrect information let me clarify.

There are two parts to TEP

1st part is ESRP (equipment service and repair program) this is what will fix your phone or replace it at no charge for a manufacturer defect. Which would be power key not working wont charge basically something you did not cause.

2nd is ERP (equipment replacement program) this is what will fix your phone if you break it, crack the screen, liquid damage, lost or stolen. This is where Asurion comes into play less the deductible which is $100 for premier phones and $50 for basic phones.

ERP is $4 and ESRP is $4 when you have them together it is TEP which is $7. You are able to file 3 claims a year through Asurion. You can also choose to have ERPS and not have ERP or vise versa. I hope this clarifies some of the misinformation in the previous posts.
