I expected this to run $599+ off contract, but it's $469, no tax, 2 day shipping at Amazon.

Amazon.com: Cell Phones & Service: HTC EVO 3D (Sprint)

This actually seems like a better deal than the on-contract price! :eek::eek::eek:

Even better for the hacking community too!
[HTC EVO 3D] AyoJake:
i wouldnt see why it would be more than that.
[HTC EVO 3D] sprinttouch666:
better than the on contract price? learn to do math, it would be cheaper to get it on contract and bite the etf then buy it off contract!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] jackdowsan:
How much will it come out that way?
[HTC EVO 3D] nebenezer:
Not true. I gave this some more thought after reading it in THE OTHER OFF CONTRACT PRICE thread.. If you're within 30 days then they'll want you to just cancel and return the phone. If you are beyond the first 30 then you will have already paid current and next months mrc's, and an activation fee.
[HTC EVO 3D] madsquabbles:
before 30 days you return the phone, no charge. between 30-90 days i believe you pay the etf and have to give up the phone or pay the difference to keep the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] rank78:
thanks for posting, just preordered. I also added this to the off contract thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] bsg411:
It also apprears that ordering the E3D with a new contract is $179 as opposed to $199 everywhere else.......save 20 bucks !!

Nice to see Amazon matching Wirefly.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMTheQuick:
Hello

Today I woke up at 02:00am first - My phone started vibrating all over the time, from hard to low. (hard vibrate, low vibrate, medium, short pause, low vibrate...) So my phone acted really strange. I just pull out the battery because it didn't react to any button and continued with sleeping.

Today I tried to start it. I've heard a short vibrate, and that was it. I even can't see any charging light when I plug my cellphone in. But then I connected my phone to my computer, and tada, adb works. So i've installed a VNC app over adb and then I've connected to my phone, and I've seen that Sense and everything works. So the handy itself is still working, but the screen is just black and all the touch buttons don't react. Also the charging light is "dead". What happened? It didn't fell or something like that.

Also my phone is rooted, with custom recovery and custom ROM. I've got still garantuee - So what should I do now?

Hmm...it doesnt look good.

Did you have your CPU overclocked?

EDIT: It seems like the LCD screen and the digitizer have broke. Unless you want to try to replace them yourself which is possible but very fiddly, you may have to send it back. First though lets see what others say.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMTheQuick:
No, it was always at 998Mhz, which is the standard clockrate. I'm not a fan of overclocking - I really loved this smartphone and I didn't risk things like overclocking ;)

I also thought about sending it back, but the question is what should I do before sending it back? And how? (Deflashing, S-ON...?)

Greetings

PMTheQuick
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daz555:
Sending it back in its current state may be a problem because your mods will have voided the warranty.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a33a:
A possible solution is to use the s-off tool to revert back to s-on and standard cid . Then using adb, push pd98img.zip onto the sdcard. Then "adb reboot bootloader" and I believe it will flash the stock rom (pd98img) automatically.

Then you'll be unrooted and free .

HOWEVER DON'T TAKE THIS AT FACE VALUE, WAIT FOR OTHERS TO CONFIRM FIRST . :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMTheQuick:
Really good idea so far. The only problem is, the pd198.zip would be read and after that you must press a few keystrokes. Power off/on and the volume keys are still working, so that isn't a problem. I just need a friendly guy who can tell me when I must press which key ;)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
You can try to flash an original RUU. As far as i know there is no need to press a button on the phone.

You said adb works?

Try:

Adb reboot bootloader. Then wait a bit.

Run an official RUU and follow the steps. You should be good to go then.

But there is one thing: do you had radio s-off and super cid before? If so, you should run jkoljos radio tool and revert to stock cid and s-off again.

Then reboot to bootloader and continue with the steps i mentioned above ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMTheQuick:
Does a RUU replace my custom recovery (ClockWorkMod) with the original HTC one? And is the RUU with the .exe right for that time? Or must I have an PD98.img? Which one should I take, I bought it unbranded: http://www.iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=RUUs/

Greetings

PMTheQuick
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
Yes, recovery should be replaced.

I'd say take the 1.32.405.6 wwe. This is the last rootable OTA and your DHD probably came with it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMTheQuick:
The radio S-OFF tool didn't work. Always unknown error - And i've found the reason, before I can S-ON it, I have to do this:

"Flash stock ROM (RUU, not over 1.7)"

And that will be... amazingly hard. I've got all these mods:

SuperCID

Radio S-OFF

Engineering S-OFF

Custom Recovery

Custom ROM

My actual idea, it would be great if someone can confirm me it is in the right order:

Changing CID & Radio S-ON

Thats my big problem! It doesn't work with my actual ROM. I need to downgrade - But how? Clockwork Mod has annoying "Are you sure" selections like: "Flash? No, No, No, Yes, No, No" - Impossible to find that out without a display. And I can't flash any ROM, because I need adb checked by default - Otherwise I won't have access again to shell, and without shell I can't start my VNC Server, and without all that I can't do anything more and must send it like that to the garantuee. I've found an http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=939982 Raidroid ROM, with standard ADB if I understand that right. But how should I flash it?

Restoring H-Boot and Recovery

adb shell
su (if you get permission denied, you have to do Visionary temproot)
getprop ro.cid (this will tell you your stock CID, we will use that later, so write it down. It has eight digits.)
busybox dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 (it will replace clockworkmod with original recovery)
busybox dd if=/sdcard/hboot_original.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (ONLY if you had ENG S-OFF, it will give you back SHIP bootloader)
sync (wait 10 secs after that, then you can close the adb shell window)

Flashing RUU

Everything should be away now... After all that everything should be allright and I can give my phone to guarantee. :)

Hi, I have exactly the same problem. Did you find this out?

Did not notice any vibration, but otherwise I have the same problem. able only to see the screen image in daylight. When I tilt it.

Only volume and on / off button that works.

If this is a hardware problem, it will not mean anything to the warranty if it is rooted or not. In order for HTC to say it it must be a connection between the problem and the reason for it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakinisbat:
if you can see screen i day light then your backlight and digitizer is broken also rooting your phone void the warranty no matter what..... if you can see the screen in light you should be able to restore its original rom, and send it back to htc.

You can't update if you are rooted, flash whatever version you want using an Ruu file.

Hi there :)

So quite simply, what rom do you use and what's great about it and what's not so good?

I've got ARHD at the moment, rock stable, battery is good (it usually idles at about 3ma) and has the ability to over/under clock.

I'm thinking of trying some form of CM7, but which one? What do you think of rcmix? I need a rom that's good enough for every day use (not experimental, I will still be calling, sending sms and browsnig) Help me please :P
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
If you want to use something like CM7 or let's say something like pure google, try Hik@Ri by adwinp.

This ROM has the best performance of all, especially the graphics performance is amazing.

Battery life should be about the same as on other roms.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steeveeo:
CM7 is good and fast , didn't find it all that amazing though missed the functionality of my camera! So I started on the same journey to find a good rom , stable oc'able , with good support and regular updates fixes..

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frutzel92:
Hey!

I'm using LeeDroid HD a long time. At first the Froyo version and now Gingerbread.

I was very sceptic about sense, in my first attempts to use it it was extremely laggy and used to freeze and force close at least once a day.

So I tried other launchers, CM 6 and 7, but in the end I went back to LeeDroid. His last version, V3.1.3 with the 3.1.4 kernel is very stable, smoother than all other roms I used and Sense is doing very well, I was surprised. What is important to me is a good battery life and the battery lasts up to 5 days, depending how often and long I use the phone.

That was a big problem of CM. The battery drained very fast, although I liked the idea of a clean Android.

Hope I could give you some impressions ;)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdelosriossanchez:
I used Revolution HD for a long while and it's an excellent rom. However, it becomes a problem when you want to move from the stock look to something more personal, because many mods come separately and overwrite files previous mods changed. I recently switched to HoneySense and despite not being so mature it has the look I want (no more custom zips at last) and works pretty well with minor flaws. MIUI also has a place in my heart although I'd miss some Sense goodies if I switched, which is what keeps me away for now.

I hope it helps.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjchung:
After using CM7 for several months, as well as a brief stint with LeeDroid 3.1.3, I'm back to stock.

CM7 + LordMod kernel, despite flashing updated radios and RILs, wrought havoc on my reception and GPS. I dropped 50% of my calls, and GPS took ages to lock on (even after using Fast Reboot + FasterFix). Moreover, my 3G connection would drop out constantly, which was a PITA when streaming Last.fm and AudioGalaxy.

LeeDroid solved my reception issues, but it would spontaneously reboot and get caught in a boot cycle until I pulled the battery. This happened at least twice a day.

So it's back to stock for me. I miss the freedom of custom roms, but when it comes to my primary communication device, I need stability. Being on KT in Korea, I haven't got the GB OTA update yet (booooo), and I can't download games from the market.

At the top of fastboot it says "S-OFF" and I can't manage to get into recovery. I've searched and downloaded files. But, nothing has seemed to to work.
