[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
I feel like a total noob, but I have tried everything I know to do.

My wife was coming from Warm 2.2 to Synergy. I backed up SD, partitioned it.

Loaded everything back on it, put the synergy ROM on the root.

Wiped everything, flashed Synergy, stuck at Splash screen. Checked Hboot (its s-off)

Running Amon Ra 2.1 i believe. I tried re-wiping and flashing warm again...and it stuck at the splash screen.

Re-wiped AGAIN tried reflashing Synergy...stuck at splash screen.

Any suggestions please?

I had no trouble on my phone....not sure why hers is being a pain in the ass.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
1st suggestion: update to the latest amon ra 2.3.....

Did you update Radio, wimax, or pri?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
I did this last night. She was running synergy this morning just fine. She was low on memory so I partitioned the SD card, and when I wiped and reflashed synergy, this happened.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
Just updated. I wiped, and Synergy is reflashing via Ra 2.3 now. Ill edit this post when its done.

NO GO. Stuck at Splash again...Im going to try to format the SD card again.. Any other suggestions?

Did you remember to upgrade the new partition to ext3?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samster86:
Thats strange, I have gone back and forth between rls5 and synergy with nand restores with no problems, But one time I went back from synergy to rls5 it got stuck in the splash screen. I forgot to flash my radio, wimax, and pri back since i update to lastest. So I flashed the radios, wimax, and pri back and redid the nand restore back to rsl5 and it boot right up.

I would first update your recovery to 2.3, then reflash the updated radio, wimax, and pri then reflash synergy. Hope that helps.

Samething happen to me but what I did is VR super wipe everything and reflash the rom and thats it work for me hope this help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samster86:
Did you see Vinchenzop post.

Don't forget to upgrade the new partition to ext3.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
Yea, Im backing up the SD now and going to do a format, and then I make sure the new partition is upgraded.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Since you've updated your recovery already, all that is left to do is to repartition and reformat your SD card. Do both from recovery. Afterwards, you should be all set. Also, even though you're redoing your card, you should still go into the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it.

Just for clarification, he meant to do this BEFORE you transfer your backed-up files from your computer back to your SD card

Swyped from my Raided Evo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreddge:
LOL. Yea, I figured. I did what he suggested, now transferring backed up files back to SD.

Ill go ahead and reflash the radio too, just to say I tried it before flashing synergy.

Still Stuck on splash screen.

Any other ideas?

This is retarded. I've never had problems like this trying to flash a damn ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I would not restore 'everything". I would only restore things thar are pertinent like nandroids backups, pertinent roms to be flashed, Titanium Backup folder, etcetera. After you've successfully flashed a rom and restored your apps and stuff, then I would transfer the other items that you may want or need. Of course, I'm just making suggestions.....;)

It worked. Seems to be running just fine.

I'm not sure what the hell was going on here, but I have been doing this **** since the ADP1, and I have NEVER had so much trouble flashing a ROM.

Im sure it was probably some weird fluke.

I know everytime I flash Synergy, boot time is usually 10-15 minutes. Might be my stock SD Card, which I might replace today. But I haven't had a problem flashing for a while.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I, too, am currently using the Synergy rom and it boots up like any other Sense rom and the boot time is not even remotely close to the times you mentioned and I only have a 16 Gig, Class 2 card.

[Epic 4G General] silver03wrx:
Why turbo a honda? Lol I just don't get it. Buy an economy car like a civic and put a turbo on it why not buy a performance car that already has forced induction and with a few minor upgrades will produce much more power. Plus stronger internals designed for forced induction. Like the subaru wrx
[Epic 4G General] Art2Fly:
Yeah, certain cars arnt designed to be turboed.... the cars parts just break faster. If you want a car that goes fast, buy an impreza.... or a golf gti...

Samco sport intercooler piping. Go fast bits manual boost controoler. Injen cold air intake. Turbo xs rfl bov. But spent 20000 buying my wrx. Used by the way with 60000 miles on it already
[Epic 4G General] darksideauto:
22,000 compared to 4,000 and they both end up running 12s. its not like they are my personal cars, its just what some people will pay for.most of them are eagle h-beam rod, wiseco 9.5:1 pistons, 1mm oversize valves, bisimoto cams, 50 trim t3/t4 turbos, custom manifold and downpipe out the bumper or hood, 1000-1600cc rc injectors on e85 w/ dual 255s or a big aeromotive, usually run 18-22psi. dyno time is the most expensive part.

So my data speed sucks horribly. I have good 4g coverage in my town. I just got a new sim card. I'm not stuck on 2g networks. I have the 4g data plan. Nothing is fixing it. The Rep at the T-Mobile store couldn't help me. Tried to warranty my phone and they're out of stock so he offered me a galagy s... no thanks. I dunno what to do. Any suggestions?

Are you inside of a building?
[myTouch 4G General] silentsnow31802:
Ive tried it in various places around town. While in a car, in houses, outside of houses. Out of town. I get the same VERY low data speed everywhere I try no matter where I am.
[myTouch 4G General] erickdj:
It's not your phone, it's t- mobile's crappy network. I had the same issue, connected to 4g but with Edge download speeds. They're upgrading some of their backbone connections, but at a slow pace. My speeds are getting better, but it took months to get somewhat acceptable speeds. Go to a t-mobile some and do some speed tests side by side with another mt4g and a galaxy s, you'll see the same speeds on all the phones.
[myTouch 4G General] silentsnow31802:
Well thats good news, sorta haha. I will have to check out what other phones at the store are getting next time im there. The rep with the Galaxy S didnt mention his was slow too, I would think that he would have if it was. Mine has been slow like this for 1-2 months now. Its getting ridiculous. I paid for 4G data speeds and im not getting them.
[myTouch 4G General] Jon C:
T-Mo's network just sucks a big one. I live a stone's throw away from their corporate HQ, in an area totally saturated with the strongest signal strength from all of their frequencies, and the fastest I can muster is 6Mb/s down. Realistic speeds are more like 2-3. So much for 14.4.
[myTouch 4G General] silentsnow31802:
Well that 14.4 isnt the speed you will hit. Its like a 56k modem never hitting 56k. They are two different measurements of speed or some stupid technical babble.
[myTouch 4G General] kimbernator:
I have yet to understand why in Vancouver, Washington I have managed to get >10mbps down yet even Portland (Where there's supposed to be 42mb theoretical) I hardly get above 2mbps.

And before someone asks, no I was not on wifi.

on a side note, I beat a thunderbolt that was on 4G LTE in a speed test in Portland. I was pretty happy when that happened.

[myTouch 4G General] dubie76:
I guess it would depend on what you mean by data sucks. Is it slow because of high network traffic like during the busy day or slower than normal?

Second, are you stock or running custom roms/kernel?

Third, if your not stock did you flash a different radio?
[myTouch 4G General] silentsnow31802:
I posted a screenshot of my speeds in the last post of page 1. Its always that slow no matter when or where in town I do it. I even tired it out of town and still have that same speed. It wasnt that slow until about 2-3 months ago. Im usually somewhere that has wifi so im not 100% sure when it happened so thats just a guess. I am not stock. I have tried different roms, kernels, and all the radio versions and they all produce the same speeds.
[myTouch 4G General] erickdj:
The people at the T-Mobile store won't say anything about slow speeds, either because they have no clue or it's simply not good marketing to openly admit your network sucks. As long as they see that "H" or "4G" icon by the notification area they're like "Look, 4G speed!". Be a bit patient if you can, if not, seek a different provider. They are continuously upgrading their network. I had a direct face to face conversation with one of T-mo's network engineers, he gave me a rough idea of when the speeds would increase, so far he was right. I'm still not getting proper "4G" speeds, but it's better than what I used to get. I went through a two month ordeal before someone finally came clean about what was happening. The phone support people were useless and didn't have a clue of what was happening, always giving me the run around and asking me to call back in 3 days. Finally, after pestering them for weeks, one of their engineers came to do some field testing right where I was. That's when I finally got the straight story of what the deal was.
[myTouch 4G General] silentsnow31802:
Its already been months. This is getting unacceptable. I am paying $30 a month for my 4G data plan and its nowhere near the speeds it should be. Its so slow that I cant even use the GPS without it popping up with a blank map because it can not load it fast enough. I am a big T-Mobile fan and I prefer the GSM networks but if this does not change I will have no choice but to go with a different carrier. Most likely ATT because I do not want to give up my SIM card ability.

[myTouch 4G General] Fly1nP4nda:
I have hit 10MBit down and ~3.5Mbit down in some areas while some areas I get EDGE speeds though it clearly says 4G. I might have to give a shot with the radio... reception on this phone is not as good as my MT3G.
[myTouch 4G General] silentsnow31802:
Ive tried all radios and ive tried checking my speeds out of town and I get no difference. I ended up buying a MT4G off ebay that for some reason the owner couldnt load a rom to but it will boot to clockwork recovery and the bootloader. Im going to see if I can revive it and im going to test my speeds on it and see if its the hardware inside of my phone that is the problem.
[myTouch 4G General] erickdj:
Make sure it's not one of those with the "e: can't mount cache" errors, or that it at least has the engineering bootloader on it, otherwise that phone is toast.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Have any of you checked out the vibrant 4g forum? There's a speed test thread and the last poster hit 24!!

[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Just swapped my sim card in. already got 6mb down on the vibrant 4g. It's definitely faster but I hate touchwiz and there aren't any roms yet.
[myTouch 4G General] silentsnow31802:
Vibrant 4G has 21Mbps and MyTouch 4G only has 14.4Mbps. That would explain the faster speeds. 24Mbps is pretty insane though, kinda hard to believe.
[myTouch 4G General] silentsnow31802:
Got it today. It does indeed have the cant mount cache errors but it does have the engineering bootloader. However I cant get it to restore. I tried fastbooting a clockwork 2.x.x.x recovery and it fails, also tried PD15IMG zip and that also failed.
[myTouch 4G General] silentsnow31802:
Talked with online support today. They could not find a reason and they are sending out a technician to check the towers in my area. If my speeds dont get better in 72 hours I am supposed to go back and give them some case number I have. I will update this post when I find out something new. I also tried to get some money back for my wasted money paying for non working 4g and they wouldnt. They said I am paying for access not speed... :-/
[myTouch 4G General] erickdj:
Sounds to me like the previous owner already tried to revive that phone but failed. If he knew to install the eng bootloader he probably also knew to try the PD15IMG file and the fastboot stuff. Heck, he might have even posted here on the few threads dealing with the "can't mount cache" issue. I'd say try to see if HTC might help you out, otherwise the phone IS toast. The eng bootloader helped "some" people in cases like this, but not always.
