[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodKil:
So a bit of background first...

Been with sprint a couple months now and had data issues since day 1 (between 7 and 15 kB/s at home)home is worse but it generally sucked everywhere. I waited a few weeks to root while trying to resolve, but as it was not being fixed (and I was told ota would fix issues as it was radoi software in my area) I went with Kindom as soon as V dropped it. (rocks BTW I flashed a handful of others but always went back to it)

OTA dropped and I tried V's updated and of course it didnt improve speeds in fact they got slower... Called sprint back and went through another 3-4 calls before they sent me back to store for a full software check and breakdown of my phone. At that point I put myself back to s-on and stock for the visit (glad I did as they checked bootloader)

I was told at that point that they could do nothing as it was a evo issue (wtf) so called retention and was sent a airwave (not using it as I pay for data so I ant using my isp for that) and then a few calls later they finally send me a phone through advanced exchange. (supposedly new)

Sorry for the long backstory but now to the point...

I was told when I called Ret. that she would give me a 200 credit, but then came back and was told I didnt have enough support tickets filed to do so, and my only option was to try a new phone. Got the phone planning to take pics and vids of speedtest to send back to verify it is not a issue with my specific phone (had 3 friends with evos that have same issues, but epic blows away our speed in my house... found that hard to believe when I first saw it)

Phone came in and its refurb. On top of that it is on the GB update, but has a PRI of 1.90_003. To me that didnt seem right as every evo I have seen OTA or rooted OTA had the 2.15 so has anyone else seen this?

I plan on calling sprint as it was supposed to be new, not refurb, but want to make sure that this isnt something I just dont know about (doubtful... seems almost like a previously rooted with s-on?) so I can limit my time on phone and have a good stance to argue... Spent 6 hours on the phone with them already this week and dont want anymore than I have to.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben.nesheim:
Hmm interesting situation i am not expert on sprint by any means but try to keep up with my phone. a good question to ask sprint or if anyone else knows is ... what is sprints policy on updating phone when they are "refurbished"? I'd assume that if it meets the req to be refurbished they most likely updated it to gingerbread before reboxing. I guess thats a thought sorry i can't help with ur data issues but good luck :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodKil:
Sorry I should have shortened it down to not confuse...

Isuue is not the GB, but the PRI that came with the GB as it is not the correct PRI for that version...

1.90_003 vs 2.15_003 (what it should be)

I dont even want to touch the phone and then when it gets sent back have issues with them saying I rooted it, as there is no way to flash to a correct PRI that I know of at this time..

Edit: Or they may in fact be shipping with that version. Just hoping for others response and experience as it seemed fishy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben.nesheim:
have u tried downgrading to 1.77 as well ?

its a wake issue fix for some sense gb roms out there but once again not specific to your problem
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jadigy:
Had an AE replacement done recently, picked up 3 days ago. I received a new unit with GB and the 2.15_003 PRI.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodKil:
Cannot downgrade, upgrade, anything... As stated this is a refurb phone that just came in. It is on the 4.22 so as far as I know there is no way to flash anything...

Its not rooted, though may be a previously rooted phone...

Basically has anyone seen a NON-ROOTED phone come with GB and 1.90 PRI

Edit: Ty jadigy that was more of the answer I was looking for
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snood123:
I have the same situation as you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
yes my replacement that I just got today has PRI 1.90_003. I updated to 4.24.651.1 and still the same PRI.

Is there a way for non-rooted phones to update their PRI?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodKil:
AFAIK there is not... hence my issue

After a couple hours on the phone with sprint (and a couple drinks after to make up for it) I was told it was a rooted device... I may have pointed them in that direction to get a replacement though. That said I also asked them if they were hiring as the first 6 people I talked to either did not know what a PRI was or simply did not know how to find out what was shipped with the 4.22 update.:eek:

I must say walking each one through the process only to be told they had no Idea and I finally asked for a store appointment. (hopefully a bit more luck there)

The general consensus seemed to be I should check to see if it said 2.3 for the android version and if it said anything but that (even 2.3.3 LOL) it was either a fake or rooted phone.

That said sprint has issues with their CS to say the least and I am thinking of starting a poll/ballot (probably not the right word... did I say a few drinks... I meant meant a few during and a few after) :) the devs/members here to work for sprint
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan prevatt:
sorry for cutting in..i just posted without reading this first,sry for that,but i am on the same pri,and it wont let me flash as well.1.90 003,this sucks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snood123:
I called them last night too. Everytime I would say PRI they would say PRL, I finally explained the technical difference to the guy on the phone. Long story short he claimed their demo device was 1.90. Were you able to have them admit was version was the latest?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
Is there a problem with having the 1.90 PRI or something?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfendrick:
Did you try the complete wipe with MSL and or other reset method that was used in the past to update the PRI. The real questions is why does it matter, but give it a shot.

To do a complete wipe, you will need your MSL code. Call sprint and they can give it to you.

Type in ##786# into the dialer, hit menu and chose reset and punch in your MSL. Your phone will clear out all data and settings except for your SD card. It will then reboot and do hands free activation, check for a PRL and firmware update. Somewhere in there you should get a newer PRI.

You can check your PRI version in About Phone under Software Information. If you don't succeed at first, keep trying...and trying...and trying.

Restoring your nandroid backup will not overwrite the new PRI, so you can get your phone back to the just the way you like it.

I'm not sure if there is a difference or just a placebo. Web pages seem to load faster. Some pre and post speed tests might have been helpful but I didn't have the foresight to do that.

Edit:

You may be able do the same thing without wiping your phone. Not sure if the wiping is a necessary part or what yet.

Steps:

Dial ##3282#

Enter Edit Mode

Enter your MSL

Select Data Profile

Menu

Restore

Let Phone Reboot, and Wait and the Hands Free Activation will Start.

Repeat until you have an updated PRI.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
If I was rooted I could do that... I do not know my MSL code as it requires root access to gain. Unless there is a new root method to 2.3.3 that I am not aware of.. that will not work for us.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snood123:
Just do an online chat and they will give it to you. I tried the ##3282# method last night, no go.

Also my speeds are consistently below 250 kbps since having my old one replaced.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
Nope they wouldn't give it to me. Lame
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfendrick:
With a post like that you should not care what PRI you have. You simply read a post and see that it says call "Sprint" You would need root to use an MSL reader from the market, but I don't believe this was ever mentioned. To do a full reset with the ## codes and the MSL you would not need ROOT.

Simply put if you are inquiring about the PRI or looking for a root method for an OTA 2.3.3 you must have not have used the search button.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
Did you read any of this thread before making your post? I really don't care what PRI I have, I was merely commenting on a post of someone else who also just got a refurb like myself with the older PRI version that should have been updated when the EVO software was updated to 4.22.651.2. I then proceeded to ask what the disadvantage was about having a 1.90_003 PRI, which no one responded to. I could care less if I root my phone or not, but the instructions you provided clearly indicated root was required considering it says to do a nandroid backup. I understand that sometimes Sprint will give you the MSL code, but in my case so far they have not been willing to do so. I would like to have the most recent version of whatever is available for my phone. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfendrick:
If they did not supply it to you then you went around it the wrong way. Try, "Mr. Sprint agent I recently updated to the OTA 2.3 and have been experiencing some issues. I believe that I may be able to correct them myself with a full reset. I have done some of the software resets in the OS itself by going to settings/SD & phone storage/ Factory data reset. And I am still not grabbing a good signal. I have updated my profile and PRL in the System updates but think I should do a full reset using the # codes. The only problem is I need my MSL. Would you be able to supply this for me so I can manually reset and program my phone? This will hopefully resolve my issues and complete all my needs for this phone call."
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfendrick:
I can see your confusion with referencing a "Nandroid" and thinking this means you have to be Rooted. You can do all of the # codes without being Rooted. You need Root for a "Nandroid", you are correct. I am throwing out all of the actions in one step so this could apply to a rooted or non rooted users in some fashion. I usually always supply too much information rather than too little, so again I hope that clears up the confusions.

I myself am currently stuck on 2.3.3 build 4.24.651.1 and am waiting for what everyone else is that is stock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodKil:
Stuke here is a method to find msl

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=697487

I believe it should still work just fine for you... As far as the PRI, its been a while since I read up on it, but to my knowledge it acts as a kind of relay between the phone and radio. (may do more than that as well but idk)

For example on the latest PRI I was seeing a 4g tower and able to connect that I cannot connect to @ my house on 1.90.

Either way I am taking my refurb back to the store on sat as it was supposed to be a new phone per retentions anyway.... Sorry about your bad luck with sprint CS. They dont seem to have anybody that knows the phone (other than a drop down menu) or cares to go a bit beyond to help the customers unfortunately.

Actually the retentions I talked to at the end said there was no reason to have that PRI with the rom version. (waited on hold for about 30 minutes while he researched and had a meeting with his manager) He went as far as to tell me that he would not even suggest activating it and set me up a service ticket at a local store to exchange it for a brand new phone. The tech supports still never even seemed to realize that there is a such thing as PRI...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
If you don't see it come out a box with your own eyes it's going to always be a "rebuilt or refurbished" device. Don't let them fool you they will tell its not a refurb but it is. I doubt they will give you a new one anyways lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snood123:
Took almost a month of data disconnects and dropped calls before I was able to convince sprint to send me a replacement for my PRI issue. I even had HTC confirm that 2.15 is the correct version.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsalazar504:
Just wanted to also confirm that I received a refurb phone with PRI 2.15_003 build 4.22

Can't wait till a root method is discovered for this locked bootloader. Anytime soon I'm hoping.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweston1:
Forum says no noobs but, the other forum options didn't seem to fit with my issue. If this is in the wrong place, please point that out to me.

I just purchased my NS4G today and tried rooting it. The end result leaves me at a Google screen with a padlock on the bottom.

I have searched a lot and have read about a lot of fixes but, none of them are working. I am at my wits end.

I tried to download recovery images and flash them but my CMD just says cannot determine image filename for 'recovery.img'

I have tried removing the battery, entering recovery mode and wiping everything to no avail.

Am I completely screwed?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweston1:
Ok, so I was able to get the recovery image flashed, but i rebooted and still get the google screen.

Any tips?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweston1:
Ok, making some progress. I got the ClockworkMod Recovery working however, I cannot mount my phone..

I've installed the Samsung drivers, ADB, and Android SDK, but I'm not able to send Superuser to the device..

Any clues?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweston1:
Allow me to add to my external monologue.

I can't seem to mount my NS4G as a USB Mass Storage device. Windows 7 is not recognizing the phone...

What to do, what to do...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweston1:
So now I really am stuck. I can't load this Superuser zip onto the phone because my USB Mass Storage is not working.

Please, anyone, lend a guy a hand. I'm confused and worried.

Hey guys, I have looked everyone, about 30 minutes on Google and 10 minutes on this site. My dad just bought a Samsung Omnia 7 and he had a default wallpaper which he LOVED, I updated the phone, and lost the wallpaper :/

The wallpaper was fantasy like. It had a castle type building on the right side, a river running down the middle, and some buildings on the left. It almost looked like a European city, very picturesque, it was night time.

I know this is a very strange request , but I cant find that wallpaper at all :( It came with the Omnia 7 (on T-Mobile UK contract).

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Save it to your PC & than use the Zune software to sync it to your device. Make sure not to delete it off your PC though. What ever you sync to you device will be deleted off your device if you delete it off the PC. I believe WP7 will ask your to crop it on the device when you set it to the BG.

Edit: Just edited the Image just in case, see attached.

Your a life saver, im usually good with computers but I couldn't find that pic AT ALL... it was a one off :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
Just FYI, you can disable the "delete from device when deleting from PC" feature in Zune. Go to Settings->Phone->Sync Options, and set it to Manual for whatever file type you don't want auto-deleted.

And you are correct, when you select a photo to use as your background that doesn't match the aspect ratio of the screen, the phone displays a crop screen so you can choose what portion you want to use.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Yeah, I know you can disable it through the settings, but was to lazy to go into that lol.

Guys, it doesn't hurt to use the search or check the appropriate section, in this case Omnia :)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NWM020:
I want to use flashtool to flash another rom on my phone because that will keep my root. However I want to have my original ROM backed up to flash it back with flashtool anytime in the future if I need to.

So my question is.. Could anybody explain me how to make this backup of my original rom or redirect me to a good tutorial or what so ever.

I did search already ofcourse, however couldn't find anything specific for Xperia Arc or Play.

Cheers.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluechipJ:
You can use PC Companion or Update Service to reisntall your original firmware (and make a backup in the process) if and ONLY if it doesn't say an update is available.

Simply use those programs to flash/repair your phone and save the downloaded firmware files. Use the flash tool to decrypt those files and make your own .FTF file for backup.

Thanks BluechipJ,

Your answer brought me far, but still have a little problem creating a FTF file. When I want to bundle my files and press ok my phone isn't in the list (Xperia PLAY). I putted the LT15.sin in the loaders map. I think this one is for the ARC maybe? But also the ARC isn't listed in there.

I know I am in the wrong section coz of my PLAY.. but you already helped me out once so maybe you can help me out with this one too....

UPDATE:

I downloaded the newest Flashtool (before used 2.8) and now the arc is showing up in the list after putting the LT15.sin in the loaders map. So which .sin file I need to put in the loaders map to make the Play (R800i) showing up?
