id say craigslist is your best bet just post some pics along with it... i just sold mine for 400, told em it was gold plated but painted all black...
[Epic 4G General] nopressure0:
I'm gonna be the first EVER epic with style!! I can't wait bro... you said it was matte black, right? Not glossy?
[Epic 4G General] krapt0:
Thanx alot guys....I only posted in this thread because it was a epic thread. It would not make sense for me to post it in a thunderbolt thread or something like that I thought. I just did not know what they went for or anything like that. thank you though
[Epic 4G General] snoopy1e11:
How much ill buy it
[Epic 4G General] SCORPiON5150:
Perhaps it would be a good candidate to do one of those hardcore durability tests? ;)
[Epic 4G General] MikeyLee:
Donate it to the Mikey Lee's girl needs an Epic foundation. LOL
[Epic 4G General] seewhyphotos:
Is this still available? I currently have a Hero on Sprint, and my wife just received her Epic 4G and I really like it.

Let me know if it's still available and for how much...

Thanks,

Hello

Seriously need some help from you guys.

Today I flash CM7 and it worked OK, but when i used Rom manager to restore a backup( with leedroid 2.4 or something) the phone rebooted but:

A red triangle is showing and I cannot access recovery and the phone wont boot cm7 again it just shows the cm7 boot up animation but nothings happens(been waiting for 30 mins)

I can access the hboot menu with volume - when I start the phone but the same red triangle from this recovery.

Hope the phone not is bricked :confused:

Any ideas guys?

Thanx
[Desire General] en_mih:

[Desire General] royal66:
aha, I understand!! sounds great.

But this update will it update my boot loader as well? I have Hboot 0.80

I ask this because i properly need to re-root again? and maybie some new hboot is more difficult too root?

Thanx :)

But this I will look into tomorrow.

Thanx for great help :)
[Desire General] en_mih:

[HTC Desire S] allen oddest:
I have flashed so many custom ROMs and find the dailer mostly drains much battery. the dailer includes phone and dailer storage is always top 2 battery user in the battery statistic.

in fact, I just make a little calls during the whole day, less than 10 minutes.

who can help me?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You're right, this has been identified before and is mentioned in other threads within this forum, unfortunately no solution has yet been found yet as far as I'm aware.
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
The dialer is always kept in memory. The app doesn't get killed. Maybe this is the reason.
[HTC Desire S] allen oddest:
I have tried to remove the stock dailer app(htcdialer.app in system/app) and replace with third-part dailer app such as smartdailer. It works well, but the entire dailer still drains so much battery life.

I have no idea. :(
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
Didn't want to open a new thread since a found this one, wanted to reactivate it maybe someone had found a solution.

After some hours of google, xda and other forum i didn't find a solution.

Many users mentioned that this issue appeared after the 2.3 Android update.

Even after switching off all the 3 features connected to the proximity sensor the Dialer is still there.

Hopeing for a solution from a brilliant mind here.

Tryed on Runny, Virtuos, Endymion....on all the same issue.

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Tried cyanogenmod? I don't get problems with the dialer, but then again I don't use it very often
[Xperia Play General] DarthVR6:
Anyone else having this issue? I dont really frequent Market that often but yesterday I decided to go on to it and noticed its slow as heck. Never thought much of it - turned on WIFI and instantly everything started working...

Later..I tried to use voice to text and it didnt work! Went back to Market and thats where I put 2 and 2 together, Google Apps fail to work on 3G. Talked to another friend of mine in the GTA who has an Xperia Play and same thing - he cant connect to Market on 3G!

I just installed 2.3.3 - still no go. DATA settings are FINE as I can browse without any issues..its just any Google Apps fail to work...
[Xperia Play General] nattnet:
yes...i do hav the same problem...lol...i think it's got sth to do with the APN setting being occasionally lost -_-'' (software bug, maybe)

how did u install the 2.3.3? via generic UK 2.3.2 and OTA upgrade? (it's how i done it)...basically, search for 'APN Manager' (free on market) and install it. then u add one more APN of the same config as ur original APN and when it doesnt work, use the widget to switch it forth and back and it'd work...hope this help thou...not sure if ur circumstance's exactly like mine but this shud do the job anyway...
[Xperia Play General] DarthVR6:
I updated using SEUS...its available for the Rogers XPlay. My apn settings are correct as I can browse...but off of 3g I can't authenticate with any Google servers....
[Xperia Play General] DarthVR6:
Update - any app requiring authentication is not working! Even XDA app won't let me log in on 3g....
[Xperia Play General] senh7:
I have the exact same problem (Telus network and Rogers Xplay). Used to work fine but not anymore. Tried hard reset. My sim card works perfectly with my other devices. Any update since june?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Caiaphas:
For everyone who's been wondering and asking,

As of right now there is NO WAY to root your phone if you accepted the 2.3 Gingerbread OTA update and there is no way to revert back to 2.2.

For all the people who have accepted it, you are stuck with a non-rootable phone until a dev can produce a new root method.

With that being said, temp-root is also NOT available.

Also, flashing anything like a different ROM or a new kernel is NOT possible at this time.

If you accidentally updated or just got the phone from Sprint, you are out of luck for now.
[EVO Shift 4G General] loopybandnerd:
thanks for the info. i have been waiting to update because i suspected as much. For all those that updated to 2.3, is it awesome????
[EVO Shift 4G General] dpwhitty11:
How long did it take for 2.2 to be rooted? Hopefully 2.3 should take the same amount of time/less time.

[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
The old official RUUs don't work on the phone?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
Nope, they don't.
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
Any more of an explanation than that? ...like the error message you get?

People had to RUU back to an older version of Froyo when the latest update plugged up what was the latest root exploit, and that old RUU always worked without a problem. It would be a shame if HTC/Sprint didn't "allow" people to revert back to the older OS.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
I think the error code was error 170 when running the RUU, but I have tried all the ways just like everyone else and none of them work.
[EVO Shift 4G General] randomxda:
FOREVER!!!! At least it felt that way. More people should have the phone now so shouldn't be too long.
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
I would guess that booting into the bootloader to load the old Froyo RUU would still work. I always thought the RUU was looking for the proper

phone

, regardless of its firmware/OS versions.
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
Nope, in order for a ruu to run, the phone has to have the same or older hboot
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
I wish it was that easy because I forgot how much the GPS sucks on sense roms. Got a trip out of town coming up this weekend also, grrrr.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
Really? I always thought Sense was great, but AOSP roms sucked at GPS.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bonginc:
Just used the gps in the 2.3 rom and it worked out great. It was a short distance though so might need more testing fyi
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
I think the GPS on sense (stock at least) tends to take a little longer to lock on, that's all.

Hopefully this gets rooted soon since I've got to send my current phone back in a couple of days, and it wouldn't surprise me if the new one has the update already
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
So is this "170" error seen in the RUU program or on the phone itself?

Forgive me if I'm way behind the ball on this: The Froyo RUU contains a "rom.zip" that looks like it could simply be renamed to PG06IMG.zip and flashed from the bootloader.
[EVO Shift 4G General] FdxRider:
I don't know bout that error but when I tried twice to ruu my wife's phoneI think the error was 104 bootloader not new enuff something like that.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
Well when you run the RUU it goes through all the motions like its going to be successful. Then it reboots into the bootloader and you get the all black HTC screen on your phone while its updating. The RUU on your pc screen is at the part where it says updating your rom image may take 10 minutes etc. Then you get the error [140] Bootloader version error. "The rom update utility cannot update your Android phone, please get the correct ROM update utility and try again."The error [170] is when it doesnt find your phone connected to the usb.
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
This should be done uploading in about 3 minutes. Rename to PG06IMG.zip, place it in the root of your SD card, and boot up in the bootloader. If it doesn't work, I'll have another to try tomorrow.

BACK UP YOUR DATA/APPS/CONTACTS FIRST (I recommend using Titanium Backup, SMS Backup & Restore, and Call Logs Backup & Restore... and you should be syncing your contacts to a google account)

http://www.4shared.com/file/ADnrxUXB/Stock-Froyo-ROM-1176511.html
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
I'll give it a try now

Edit: Nope, that doesn't work.
[EVO Shift 4G General] rchris494:
great.

i guess i am stuck with this buggy 2.3 rom until a root solution is found and i can get this crappy rom off my phone. i am tired of the apps not working. locking up & same with the OS.

do the world a favor and steer clear of the RUU 2.3 rom. dont be stuck like the rest of us with a rom we cant do anything with.
[EVO Shift 4G General] :
Thanks for the correction,short term memory loss is bad,lol :D
[EVO Shift 4G General] Rob_ec:
Didnt down grade me ;%
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
Attempt #2.

Same as before... rename to PG06IMG.zip, place it in the root of your SD card, and boot up in the bootloader.

ATTEMPT AT YOUR OWN RISK. BACKUP YOUR DATA.

http://www.4shared.com/file/Ke60Dvzn/Stock-Froyo-ROM-1176511-test2.html
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
Still a no go.
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
Details please?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
Well when you put it on the memory card, rename it and boot into the bootloader is it supposed to automatically update? I've tried everything possible and nothing happens.
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
Normally, the first thing the bootloader does is look for a file named PG06IMG.zip ... if it can't find that file, it will say so (quickly). Did it not do that?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
Yes it does, always says no image or wrong image! And thanks for trying to get this figured out also man.
[EVO Shift 4G General] MrTrip:
I learned you have to reformat your SDCard.

It was in the radio update thread, I think you have to format it FAT32 or something? Or just FAT?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
Well if i can find my stock 2gb card ill try that.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
Pretty sure the file needs to have a valid HTC signature on it..
[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
Yeah I had to reformat my SD to FAT32 in order for bootloader to recognize any PG06IMG.zip
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
What you should see is something like:

SD Checking...
Loading...[PG06DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PG06DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PG06IMG.zip]

...and then a blue bar on the top right side as the phone loads and scans the contents of the zip file.

Are you *sure* you have the file named correctly?

I just tried this on my already-rooted phone with the first file I posted, and it got to the point where the phone was asking if I wanted to flash the contents of the zip file.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
I will give this a try here in a few minutes.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
Yeah its named properly, I copy/pasted it just to make sure.
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
Is your SD card is formatted for FAT32? I *think* that might be necessary.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
Ya, I just formatted my card to FAT32 and its still not finding the image.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
Getting the blue bar just fine now. It is still loading.

EDIT: it is now "checking" the file.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

Press <POWER> to reboot.
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
Did you try the first or second file?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
I see what it was, when i renamed the file PG06IMG.zip it was saving as PG06IMG.zip.zip Now it goes to the blue loading bar and then the brown loading bar came up and looked like it finished loading and went straight back to the bootloader screen. Going to try the first file now.
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
I'm going to try something silly... give me a few minutes.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
The first file gave the same message that the other guy said "main version is older, press pwr to reboot. The second one doesn't give that message and seems like everything goes though but still didn't work.
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
THIS IS PROBABLY A BAD IDEA.

;)

What this is: a 100% stock Froyo system.img tucked into the latest update from Sprint/HTC.

Ideally, it will be rootable with the old methods, and then people can write the older HBOOT with the "dd" command. Obviously, the md5sum from the newer HBOOT will be different than those in the rooting instructions.

Same as before... rename to PG06IMG.zip and reboot into recovery.

(still uploading as of this post... will be done in less than 15 minutes)
[EVO Shift 4G General] :
I hope you are on to something.:)
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
I'll try it when I get off of work in the morning just in case something goes wrong I can take it to bestbuy and let them figure it out lol.
[EVO Shift 4G General] dpwhitty11:
Bad idea? More like badass idea. ;)

Eagerly awaiting results.... This could end up fixing my friend's phone.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Lancerz:
Ok, tried this and it goes through the motions and the blue and brown bar loading screens then it just goes back to the bootloader main screen. No error message or anything. Can't wait to get this crap off my phone lol.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Rob_ec:
Same thing here nothing happened i hope someone finds a way cus this gb update is on my nerves and my phone gets hot for some reason with the update :/ it used to get warm but now it burns up when im charging it lol sucks
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
Unless you have the engineering boot loader, any zip had to have htc's signature, and messing with the zip in any way ruins that
[EVO Shift 4G General] southernstyle:
Do u think u could take the old ruu and replace the hboot? Same idea just other way around

Sent from your Mom's Jitterbug
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jedman67:
For the sake of a layman here, how are you modifiying the software to allow root? Techinically I mean
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
Modifying the ruu presents the same problems with signatures. You can modify the overall exe pack, but touch that rom.zip...
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
What do you think are the chances of figuring that out, seeing as how we have access to at least 3 official rom.zip files for our phone?
[EVO Shift 4G General] bproduct:
how do you update a rooted shift to 2.3?

so my shift is rooted and i want the new gingerbread update...it wont install! can i do it manually? if so how?
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
Go download a pre rooted version and install it instead to save your self the trouble. Many to choose from.

And not to be a party pooper guys, but downgrading the official update is more than likely not going to work. Near impossible. It will be far easier to find some kind of root method for the new update.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bproduct:
Sweet. Which one do you recommend?
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
If you want to try as close to stock as possible, I think x99 has one. otherwise, if running sense roms, I'm personally waiting for nfinite to release his cleaned up kingdom rom, but until then, if I had to run sense, mik shifted g is pretty nice and has lots of cool mods.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bproduct:
Cool. Thanks. I appreciate your time. I am new at this, I rooted my first smartphone (shift) a couple of months ago. I install these roms with clockwork right? The only rom I have done is cm7. Where do I these masterpiece roms you speak of?
[EVO Shift 4G General] honorlost84:
So is there anyone else working on this to? Im a total noob but i'd like to help if i can. Btw i have the original sd card for my shift. Its in my moment right now. Is froyo 2.2 on that i wonder. Im gonna put it in and see if the boot loader finds it. Backed up my files. If it works would it work on your phones too?
[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
You can get all the ROMs here

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=938

Just search for MikShift and X99's Stock Rooted ROM. I would post links but I'm on my Shift.
[EVO Shift 4G General] honorlost84:
Epic fail. It didnt work. Worth a try
[EVO Shift 4G General] bproduct:
Ok duh. I see now. Thanks. I think this is my new addiction...
[EVO Shift 4G General] honorlost84:
Can i flash my shift to a 2.3.3 rom? If so, what do i need and how? I would appreciate it. I was only temp rooted before. But as you know visionary+ is dead now
[EVO Shift 4G General] bproduct:
I rooted like this.

http://wowmobilestorm.com/
[EVO Shift 4G General] southernstyle:
that's what I was asking, but I'm guess the hboot is part of the rom.zip? if not I think you could use the froyo RUU and swap the new hboot in there and run the RUU and if the hboot is the only problem with running the Froyo wouldn't it get through the check. Its the current or later version of hboot so no issue with older version and you have an untampered rom.zip file. I don't know how it all works but I just thought I'd throw it out just in case
[EVO Shift 4G General] honorlost84:
I took the ota. I have 2.3.3... S-on will this restore my phone to froyo? If so cuz im a noob can i get instruction?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Caiaphas:
Please read the OP
[EVO Shift 4G General] jordanetodd:
just like the rest of us, if you accidentally or purposely updated to 2.3.3 then you, my friend, are stuck waiting for devs to find root again.

I wish I had thought it through, but I was hoping sprint would replace my phone anyway when I turned it to stock, and it updated on its own accord. Screwed over without root ever since. Be patient and check these forums regularly.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BREWGIRL03:
so now my question is why cant someone who knows their stuff about phones take the new ruu with the new hboot and put the old firmware version into the ruu and make the phone revert back? Is that possible ? and if not why? I think that we are gonna get screwed because all these new phones are coming out for instance the evo 3D. I think that the DEVS are gonna be preoccupied with rooting and playing with the new phones and us shift owners are gonna be left out in the cold. Please tell me this isnt so.
[EVO Shift 4G General] stormchaser404:
I think that's likely already the case. Devs are concentrating on things like the EVO 3D. Maybe they will come back and help us out once the "new hot phones" have been figured out.
[EVO Shift 4G General] linuxman008:
I may have found something...

I may have found a way to root after the update, no promises or anything though.

To be sure I need the PG06IMG.zip for the froyo release. Until then its useless, thanks for the help.
[EVO Shift 4G General] stormchaser404:
Keep us informed. :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] bobtsunam:
If you are in need of the file to move forward, I have one on my dropbox. Feel free. Didn't know for sure of you were asking for it or not but there ya go if ya need it.
