[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zexter:
So it looks like I need to use the older cwm2 to use this kernel?

[edit] just in case someone else is wondering this as well. Use the older oneclickroot 2.5.5 if you're on stock. There's a bug (that is known) if you're on a stock that is not deodexed and uses ext4. Since the older cwm doesn't convert to ext4 we're good to go :-)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolqf:
I too am in the same situation. Can you post the steps with links?

As I understand it, the steps are:

1) Root, run clockworkmod

2) Run boot cleaner

3) Flash custom boot animation

4) Flash custom kernel

Is that right?

So, I know how to do all the steps except #3. Where can I find a custom boot animation? Please help!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Switch 3 and 4. Flash the custom kernel then the boot ani. There are also custom shutdown ani's out there too. Use CWM 2.5.5.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
i would use ec05 plus ext4 version and genocide, winning combo..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
i agree but not sure he wants to make the jump too EXT4 and custom ROMs.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zexter:
I tried several, but every rom I've tried I get FC when trying to assign a contact it's own ringtone, and that's something I use ALOT of. Even tried pushing myfiles.apk

So, until there's a rom that I can do that with, I'll be sticking with stock and genocide
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
That is an unusual issue. WHich ROMs did you try and what was your procedure for getting there?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zexter:
I've tried, Ace, syndicate, another one that I can't remember the name of.

I did the normal process. Wipe factory 3x, then wipe cache 3x, and wipe dalv cache 3x, and install (tried a few times wiping dalv cache after the install, which is what we did on the heroc, as well)

Impaler told me to push myfiles.apk but it won't install. Tried the myfiles.apk from multiple rom sources.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Hmm...yeah, you copy myfiles.apk to system\app directory and reboot. It will self-install. Did you try the ROMs right after flashing or after restoring data?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zexter:
Ah, I'll try putting it there. I've installed each of them after going back to stock first.

[edit] the only other issue I had was with USB mass storage, which doesn't matter now that I'm just transferring via wifi

I'll post results here in a bit
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zexter:
So when trying to move the file to system/app it tells me I don't have permission. (but i am rooted, and I know this because OC widget requested and was granted SU)

I've tried 2 different file browsing apps, and even tried copying it directly there via wifi. None of which will let me copy the myfiles.apk into system/app
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
What are you using to move it? Root explorer automatically makes it read/write. You can use ES File Explorer from the market but you have to go into settings and enable root and write functions.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zexter:
That's the app I use. Didn't know about the setting... Just moved the file there and rebooting. I really hope this allows me to change individual ringtones. If so, then I have no reason to stay with stock =)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zexter:
Well, myfiles.apk is now in system/app and I rebooted the phone (also tried a shutdown), but still no luck. I still get a FC when assigning an individual ringtone :/

Buuut, I may be able to assign ringtones from the music player, and not the edit contact page. I'll try that

[edit] Yup, I moved my ringtones into my Music folder, and am able to assign a specific contact's ringtone via the music player
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Is the FC in myfiles.apk? If so try clearing data in it. But either way at least you got it working.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zexter:
android.process.acore is what FC's while doing it the normal way.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I think that requires a factory/data reset to clean out that cache. But of course that wipes apps and data. But if you restore all your apps and only the data to apps you need it should fix that FC.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zexter:
I've done that multiple times with multiple roms. It's all good, I can change them with music player.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
Ec05plus is rfs and is a stock rom with fixes
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zexter:
It's all good man. I'm just working around it. I got a wifiFTP app for the data cable issue, and I can assign ringtones via the music player instead of contacts. So, I'm all good with custom roms now.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skywalkerwi:
Can I Make Legend S-OFF ?

My rom is CM7
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexhtclegend:
As far as I know the ROM you're using is unimportant when gaining S-OFF, as long as the H-BOOT isn't 1.00 or above.

You have a H-BOOT of 0.43, so you can be S-OFF as long as you follow the instructions carefully. However, S-ON users should be able to use beta 4 anyway?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonesy:
They should yes and if s-on users search the thread for s-on they will see how to do it without a bootloop :D

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dany74q:
Hello everyone ,

There is a massive amount of info regarding my question , but I could not find a guide which sums it all ,

so a quick question here about the procedure of the installation , I would like to know if I got it all correctly .

Following with a europian HD2 (international) , current rom is stock 1.48.479.1 (71294) , radio 2.12.50.02_2 .

1. Install drivers on the computer .

2. Install HSPL 2.08 (specifically 2.08 ?) via HSPL4 from DFT .

3. Install a radio of my choice - Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14** . (which should unlock the RAM ? )

4. Install MAGLDR 1.13 .

5. Download a ROM , install a rom through MAGLDR .

I would really appreciate a quick yes or no , would not like to brick it on its second day .

Thank you all ,

Danny.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dany74q:
Got it working perfectly , despite the lack of comments - thanks to all whom being active in the forum .
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
Sorry mate, you need to remember most of us are all over the planet an we need to sleep :)

Im gonna click your wee thanks button because you actually bothered to search for it all and found everything

Regarding bricking

Its highly unlikely you will brick it, just dont bugger around with HSPL any more than you need to, by using Magldr and HSPL you have a couple of layers of protection, almost all problems can be fixed if you have access to the tri colour bootloader screen so dont worry

Biggest issue with WP7 is your battery, do not let it run down, if it comes up critical, then turn it off straight away, turn it on again when you can plug it in and save yourself some hassle, if you dont and it doesnt boot to windows without restarting go straight in to magldr and plug in the charger for half hour, the light will not show up. If you keep trying to start it you will drain what little life there is in the battery and then things get a bit more complicated

anyhow, good luck :)

I need to return my phone to tmobile...i have Royal Thunder 1.0 installed with CWM 2.5.... i've tried reflashing stock image but i'm unable to for some reason..says it has been aborted...any good set of directions and stock ROM out there?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel33:
I got my first call the other day where the customer was very angry that they were hit with the out of warranty fee because of a rooted phone. He did admit to it being rooted but claimed ignorance to it voiding the warranty. It cost him quite a bit. I'd definitely try to go with a stock ROM before sending it in. Last thing you want is them to start it up and get something like the Cyanogenmod bootup screen and then get hit with the OOW fee.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaganAng3l:
You could actually flash one of the official tmous updates that would remove root as well. If you have s-off then its a whole new game. I would suggest trying the gfree method of unrooting and getting s-on, otherwise I can give you a command to type in terminal emulator that will 100% brick your phone where it won't turn on or charge. It destroys the emmc chip though, but you should get a new one anyway

Thanks for the replies, searched "gfree" in mytouch 4g development but search came up blank. Any idea where i can find it? I'd also like the command in case i have to resort to that.

Appreciate all your help
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaganAng3l:
Hahaha! My bad, for some reason I tought you were running a G2, lol. I don't thing gfree works for the mt4g, lol. But the command will, find out what partition your hboot is at and I'll give you the command. I'm at work and only have my phone on me

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaganAng3l:
I will indeed, one second. I want it to be known that once this script is enterd the phone is an unrecoverable brick, there is NO KNOWN WAY to recover once this is done. Everyone ok with that?

Sent from my shiny metal G2 w/ meXdroid V3
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaganAng3l:
Ok guys here is the commands, do it in terminal emulator if possible, or use adb shell if this is not possible. There is NO COMING BACK once its done ok?

In terminal emulator or adb shell type:

$ su

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

#sync

#reboot

...... and you have yourself a 100% unrecoverable brick!

Edit: it is partition number 18, the code has been updated. Again, careful with this as the partition will be corrupted and will not take a new hboot.

I would also like to know, as I now have a locked bootloader and would like to get a replacement

*edit* duh its right above my post, my bad :) thanks for this!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaganAng3l:
I would like for you all to know that if you're using this code, that it is uneccessary to unroot or flash an ota rom. Once you type "# reboot" in terminal or adb the phone is bricked. It will not charge or turn on, as you just destroyed its instructions for doing so. The only way tmo or htc can fix this is to replace the emmc chip and flash an entirely new ruu thus destroying all evidence of root or custom rom. This type of bricking also makes it look as if either the pc board or emmc chip took a dump so it will look like a manufacturer defect. I am in no way advocating fraud, I'm simply sharing a line of linux commands; however I do know that sometimes one must do what one must do, so I don't blame you either.

According to your outputs your device shouldn't charge or turn on any more correct?

okay so i was skimming through this and i gotta say this. i have returned many phones to tmobile 2 which were rooted with custom recovery and a new rom. the people in the tmobile store booted to recovery wiped the phone and gave me a new one both times. this is on custom recovery which is very noticably rooted and not stock. so guess it depends on the store.

also my cousin had an evo and he scratched up the battery pin so it wouldnt charge his phone and wouldnt boot up and returned it just to get a newer model of the evo, so that might work as well.

just a few tips if trying to return your phone.

- adb + busybox

Warning:

- I lost a few apps and the contact list is purged, a backup is highly recommended.

For CRT-animation only, you only need framework-res.apk

adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb push SystemUI.apk /sdcard/SystemUI.apk
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

# sync
// this step might not be required - I didn't do this and it still works
# mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

If this works for you, you can use the same framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk in the UOT kitchen to add more stuff to your liking to retain the CRT animation.
