[EVO 4G General] sonicdivx:
@BrianBusby2038,

Thanks for the post, good information I will give it a try. Interestingly the phone did eventually boot into Myn for a few minutes before the 5 vibrations of death started again.

So looked and it def. doesn't see the SD. So hopefully can recover.

I am wondering if the AData SD card I have is not reliable. Thankfully have the original 8GB card so hopefully can get things going again.

Anybody have a good recommendation for a 16GB microSD that is fast (buying from Newegg) ?

thanks again
[EVO 4G General] BrianBusby2038:
No problem,hope it works out ok.
[EVO 4G General] robertsaurus:
I had this same problem a few days ago and I had to get a replacement ordered (a 2.3 preloaded replacement :( ). Make sure that your USB is still working, because both my SD card and USB stopped working, S-ON went on, and the five vibrations/green light shut down problem happened. I was able to get S-Card operational, but USB was no go. I could not log in as super user and could not enter the commands necessary to fix usb. No USB = No root = no fix for USB. Now I'm stuck with a 2.3 evo, at least its shiny and new :(.

Hope you fix yours, I wonder how this problem has happened to so many of us randomly. PS: when you take it to sprint store, don't complicate matters and revert to stock.
[EVO 4G General] sonicdivx:
Crude, fastboot on PC throwing driver error, how do I tell if the right driver is installed.

This is really sucking, Ive only ever installed one driver and could connect with adb.

So not sure what to do.

EDIT: says can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing
[EVO 4G General] sonicdivx:
@robertsaurus,

not sure how I could go to stock if I cant re-image. Yeah definitely don't want to make a fuss, ugh
[EVO 4G General] robertsaurus:
I lost clockwork mod and ended up only being able to access default Android recovery menu. I think an option on there will restore the factory Rom and make it look like it was never rooted. I know people have been able to fix theirs but I gave up after a days worth of trying
[EVO 4G General] sonicdivx:
Well I had partial success. I restored a signed Sprint Rom, but phone keeps rebooting and USB doesn't work. the 5 vibrations seemed to have gone away. Though since I can get usb to work I can't do a RUU install and remove clockwork.

I did talk to Sprint and they are willing to early upgrade me and buy the EVO back for 125 so long as it boots and it does :) .

So going to give that a whirl , I have 30 days so may give a few other things on the evo a try before I return. Doing the upgrade I just lose out on some of the rooting so we'll see how that impacts me.
[EVO 4G General] robertsaurus:
I had the exact issue. I think if you do a wipe from the boot menu (power and vol down) it will get rid of it all. And then take it to sprint and play dumb :-). Worked for me, new shiny evo lol
[EVO 4G General] sonicdivx:
yeah I played dumb, but since it was out of warranty 1month and 10 days. they wouldn't replace :(. But at least get upgrade and buy back on the EVO which is not bad.

Though I am over the next couple of days try and get the EVO rescued, so long its still bootable I can take advantage of the buyback
[EVO 4G General] robertsaurus:
That sucks, hope it works out for you
[EVO 4G General] sonicdivx:
Interestingly I could get the 5 vibrations thing to go away if I applied unrevoked forever s-on. the phone will still reboot and usb not functioning yet. Going to try and get a shell script running to fix usb , or try and do a re-rooting via the auto root, maybe hboot usb will work (fastboot did)

I did get the photon (we'll see how it works, though miss my rooting and evo)

so if like hopefully they will unlock the bootloader.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fordmgt1:
Ok, I know there has been tons of threads on this, but I still can't figure out what is best to do. I have a stock Atrix I didn't even buy a month ago, I want to eventually use custom roms, so I need to root/unlock it, but should I go ahead and install the official OTA update? Or try my luck at Kenneth's 2.3.4?

I would like to still be able to use my lapdock, and still not have to pay for tethering (right now I did the apn name trick). Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vangelis13:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fordmgt1:
Thanks for the advice, and I'm such a noob and have been over the noob's beginner guide a few times and am still unsure of how to install the 2.3.4 w/out having to go OTA.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkrohn:
You can OTA and then just unlock and install whatever rom you want.

It works great. There are two ways of doing it, 1 with clockwork mod and the other with just nvflash and replacing the recovery. I'm currently running Prime 1.6r2 and Ubuntu. To boot ubuntu I have to do the steps to boot into recovery. So far everything runs great!

I'm dual-booting Android/Ubuntu now, as well. It's very smooth and responsive. I'm still having issues connecting to WiFi, but it's still a WiP, so I can't complain. (I think it's because there's a single-quote in my network's SSID.)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
I'm bored because the UOT Kitchen is down so since I flashed CM7 only a couple of days ago, and pretty much like it, I thought I'd also now take the plunge and flash the CM7 r2 HBOOT but I have a couple of questions first:

1) I've read the instructions on Alpharev site but still confused by the partition table. Do I somehow have to change the various system/data/cache size before flashing the HBOOT, or am I right in thinking that when I flash the HBOOT this will automatically resize them as part of the flash process?

2) What's the benefit of flashing this particular HBOOT? Is it because it'll increase system partition due to the number of apps? (noticed much less available space since swapping from LeeDroid)

and (yes I know I said only "a couple" of questions but...)

3) % chance of bricking my phone???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
1. It will automatically resize the partition tables.

2. More space on data partition for apps.

3. None if you do it properly and check the MD5 of the image file you've downloaded.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
I'm confused by the two methods shown on Alpharev. Method 1 says to donwload the image file and Fastboot flash the file and Method 2 says to add the renamed PB99IMG.zip to SD card and flash. With method 1 do I do I have to do any of the process on PC or all on the phone? With method 2 do I just boot into recovery and flash the .zip like I would flash a new ROM (i.e. "Install zip from SD Card">"Choose zip from SD Card") or do I have to go into Fastboot the same as in Method 1?

As you can tell, I'm confused, but this is something I want to get right, for obvious reasons. The instructions on the Alpharev are basic but need to be a bit better explained for noobs like me, I think.

Which of the 2 methods are the easiest/safest and could some one be kind enough to give a more precise walkthrough please?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
I think fastboot is the best way to do it.... Not one of your choices - Edit - sorry it is i'm just blind!!! you have more control because you run the commands

As the previous dude said CHECK MD5SUMS!! if they match you should be fine

You flash the hboot depending on your needs.... I use reflex s CM7 with CM7 r2 hboot and I have a huge internal memory :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
The fastboot method says I have to rename the image file for the HBOOT I downloaded. The file I downloaded was bravo_spl_cm7r2.img so what do I have to rename it to?

Jeez I'm confused @!*$!&

EDIT: Ignore me, I just figured it out :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
For others, please write your solution here. ;)

Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
@matdroid - No solution, just me misreading the instructions on Alpharev :/

I'm in the fastboot.exe cmd screen (made sure that the HBOOT .img file is in the same folder as fastboot.exe) and when I enter "fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img" I get the error "cannot load bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img". When I enter Fastboot on the phone do I then have to select "BootLoader"? before I can flash the HBOOT?

Any ideas?

EDIT: Done it :) I used the info here.

Do I just "Power Down" now that flashing the HBOOT is complete or "Reboot Bootloader" or what? (Hope I get an answer quick coz don't want to leave the phone attached to the laptop in fastboot mode all night lol.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
OK, so just installed the CM7 HBOOT but while my internal memory is excellent (currently 154MB free) the system storage size repartitioned to 145MB as expected but is showing only 15MB free. Is this worryingly low? What could be hogging this space?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
The less space on /system/ partition the better, apps will use only /data/.

Actually i have like 400kb free space on /system.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
double post sorry

///delete please
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Unless you've got a lot of apps installed it shouldn't be that low (did you do a fresh instal after flashing the hboot? if not then..) .. do a nand backup of your rom, then do a full wipe (/mounts & storage/ format boot, system, data, cache; /advanced/ wipe dalvic cache) and install CM7 again.. you should have the full 145mb.. and if you don't (for some reason) you can always restore your backup ^_^

If you install MIUI-XJ it actually see's your sd-ext as internal memory.. so I have 2GB recognised as internal memory :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
I have quite a few user apps installed (about 60).Did full wipes after flashing the hboot then restored my nandroid backup.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Yeah then the 15mb free space sounds about right lol.. you could try A2SD if you need more space, for that you need an EXT parition on your SD.. just read this, I can't explain what it is and how to use it better than that lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
Already got A2SD with Ext3 partition. I've noticed though that the A2SD partition doesn't show up on Titanium Backup or System info like it does with other ROMs.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Partition your sd card again (make sure to save all important data on it before) with recovery or gparted again and take care, you set correct sizes. When you use gparted:

1st create fat32 (primary) and then ext partition (also primary).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
Got a new SD card on order so I'll wait till I get that and partition from new and see if that works.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
For all your MOBILE contacts change the contact number to +1 xxx xxx xxxx without the spaces. Delete any previous messages and calls from them. Any new messages will now show up with their pic. And calls will work fine also. All contacts will show their pic with this format. It is just the international call format for USA calls.

ATT started adding the +1 to text messages in most parts of the country almost 2 years ago. Maybe you didn't notice. Buit with the new phone/ROM it may be using an updated sms message center number. So now it is affecting you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Sorry AGT, a good thought, but no dice. This is affecting me too, as I'm using this as the new base for ClearDroid.

Everything else works great, except for the SMS. I tried replacing some files with older Froyo ones, but when it did work, it made no difference. The actual MMS.apk could not be replaced. Nothing but force closes.

It is not affecting my calls, only my SMS contacts.

Strangely enough, some contacts will show name and picture, then later on, it won't.

And I have mine mixed format, both "1-234-567-8910" and "+12345678910", and both work.

Right this second, one contact that had a name and picture earlier tonight now is only showing the phone number, and the format is the latter of the two that I posted there. This is making me pull my hair out... And even better, when you tap the number and "Open Contact", the name and picture is still IN the contacts list, just won't show up under SMS!

I'm going to try to experiment a little bit with the messaging app from CM and see if that is what's wrong...
[HTC Inspire 4G] lothodon:
If I were to run this new RUU and lose S-off (which I fully understand) what are the chances of being able to run the original RUU (for the US Inspire 4G) which would then be rootable?

Do the RUU.exe files allow for downgrading?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
No, you must fool the phone into thinking it has an older version in order to downgrade. You set the version information in the misc partition (partition 17) to a value less than the value of the version you want to install. To modify the misc partition, you need temproot though. This was previously obtained with psneuter. New GB ROMS (v 2.37.xxx.xx and later) fixed this exploit, but supposedly the fre3vo exploit will work on the new GB ROMs (but I haven't had time to verify it yet).

I'm sure that when the offical OTA update hits, ATTN1 will update his hack kit accordingly (assuming fre3vo works with Inspire OTA which I'm betting it will).
[HTC Inspire 4G] daddioj:
You won't lose s-off atleast I didn't. But the temp root in the desire thread worked well for me and I was able to downgrade and keep s-off
[HTC Inspire 4G] 00ChevyScott:
Just did this update, also having contact naming issues with SMS.

Quick question tho, when ATT/HTC does the OTA update, will I get a notification to do it now? Will this effect any future ATT OTA updates? Or will I be ok because this is the actual file and not a rooted or custom ROM?

EDIT: WTF it seems my upload speed is capped to ~300 KBPS now, and I'm also missing the HTC wifi update option.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lothodon:
hate to bring it up, but i have serious doubts this will be the official update from htc, at least, i hope it's not. my gps wouldn't work AT ALL with the rooted version of this rom, and my wifi is all messed up and sporadic. like above posted too, the htc wifi update app is missing as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 00ChevyScott:

Did you try this guide? If you have the original PD98IMG.zip (1.32 Desire HD zip), just place it on your SD card, run Root script (I had to run it twice), then run Downgrade script. Your mileage may vary, but I then manually rebooted and was able to revert to 1.32.

I then used the Ace Hack Kit to S-off, etc.

This was from a stock Gingerbread Inspire.

That's exactly what I did earlier. Thanks though! And for anyone interested, this method 100% works. I am back to the same place I was before the GB update.
