[HTC EVO 3D] jamiejayhawk:
anyone that checks this forum please i need a little help. I ended up with a hboot 1.5 3d, didnt do my research first, and it has no recovery image BUT is running synergy nightly. its still s-on. If i place the ruu on the root of sd card do i need to delete the synergy that is already sitting there? Basically I want to get away from this phone, but in its current state I can NOT factory data reset. Any and all help will be met with thanks for sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I it will replace all partitions it writes to, but I don't know how many it will be able to due to having an S-On Unlocked bootloader.

I would recommend doing a factory reset from the settings menu in the ROM and then flashing the stock ROM or the image files from the PG86IMG. Then you could just Relock the bootloader and you'd have 100% stock.

Will this guide work for GSM evo 3D provided I use a GSM RUU?
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
the file to download in the link is called:

PG86IMG_Shooter_Sprint_WWE_1.11.651.2_Radio_radio_0.97.00.0518_NV_SPCS_1.15_release_193503_signed.zip

i dont see this anywhere in the instructions but, are we supposed to rename it to just PG86IMG.zip

?
[HTC EVO 3D] pimpdad90:
yes!

Yes just rename PG86IMG.zip

I just cracked my screen and ran through the steps and am back s-on! Now have to go to sprint store tomorrow.

Edit: And Thnak you thank you thank you!
[HTC EVO 3D] mac+htc:
My digitizer is faulty and I need to take the phone back... Windows can't open the zip, it says the file is bad. And my hboot 1.5 offical unlock evo 3d can read the file and runs the scan in the bootloader...but then kicks me back to the main menu with no option to install it...ideas?

Please help!!

Okay so here is the situation, I just built a computer and while my roommate was doing the cable management he plugged the USB connection to into the 1394 connection on the motherboard. When I plugged my phone into the computer it hard reset and since then I have been unable to get the USB port to work for anything other then charging the phone. My question, is there a way to revert to stock that doesn't evolve have the phone connected through USB? I have a card reader and will be able to move all the necessary files to the SD card but I wanted to get a second opinion before proceeding. Thoughts?
[HTC EVO 3D] SBERG117:
Hello , Trying to get some clarification on some of the procedure involved to get my phone back to stock...

Was wondering if someone could give a detailed step by step from step 7 on in proper order...the procedure thats written now is good and all but being a first timer in reverting my phone back to stock it seems a little confusing.

If i had more experience in all this im sure it wouldnt be a big deal but i dont.

So again if someone could take the time and really make a "version for dummies" so to speak it would really be appreciated, specifically from step 7 on. thnx..

Or if someone could make a how to video that would also be appreciated.... Thank you.

Can someone help out please? Its either this or i have to call sprint ( from a different phone obviously..lol) and say i lost my phone and go through getting another that way....

Does it work for Hboot 1.50?
[HTC EVO 3D] bluephi1914:
So this method will work even though i had Hboot 1.5 ?? i just have to change the name of the file to PG86img.zip then flash it in recovery? Is this correct ??
[HTC EVO 3D] cyaiphone:
I also would like this step by step version. the OP isn't clear and this guide doesnt seem like it's for beginners because the instructions from step 7 on our very vague and assume we already know what we're doing. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] bluephi1914:
Im a newbie as well but i will try to help... since it seems to be pretty dead around here these days.

In order to get to Step 7, you have to open a command prompt. (type CMD) from the run menu in windows. make sure your phone is plugged in via the USB cable to your computer.

you will need to change directories.... to the directory where you have all of the fastboot and adb files and all of the other files you downloaded, that way when your typing commands your already in the directory and dont get "file not found errors. etc. (ex: type "cd android", then type "cd tools").

once you have change to that directory....

Type " adb reboot bootloader " (minus the quotes), this should put you at the "fastboot" menu.

you should now be able to use the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select the item.
[HTC EVO 3D] cyaiphone:
thank you!!

ok this seems easy and I'm assuming you have to have the phone in disk drive correct?

ok sorry so how do I chang directories?

I've downloaded the files but they are on my computer. Where on my phone do i put them?

which items am I selecting? :confused:

Sorry for being such a newb, I'm sure there's others reading who will appreciate your help as much as I do.
[HTC EVO 3D] SBERG117:
Thnx to those that have tried to help thus far......Info is still a little off but at least theres effort..lol.....as i stated in a earlier post if someone could take the time to make a walkthrough video from start to finish that would help everyone out bigtime....Ive checked the unlocker site hoping to find something but no luck......

Is there any way to reverse "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"? I got a brick after sending this command on eng-hboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rob the plumber:
Put all of the downloaded files in a separate folder on your computer.

I put a folder on my c: drive called "s-on"

So to get to that directory after opening the cmd prompt in windows, (run, type in cmd) I typed "cd c:\s-on" (without quotes) now you are in the proper directory with your downloaded files.

Then I typed "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" and pressed enter

The computer screen then read "waiting for device".

I then powered the phone on using volume down, plus power while it is plugged into the pc via the usb cable.

The white bootloader screen will load. I selected "reboot bootloader"

The computer screen then said "okay finished. Total time: 0.063s

The white bootloader screen now says s-on.

Good to go. I hope this helps people.
[HTC EVO 3D] SBERG117:
Thnx alot...Gonna give it a go in the morning.

Getting off ENG-HBOOT

How to I get another Hboot so I can get S-ON?? There seems to be almost next to nothing on this..
[HTC EVO 3D] creator2456:
Long story short, I purchased the Evo3D fairly shortly after release to try out Sprint. Rooted with S-Off while I had it. Didn't like the service so I unrooted and did S-ON in order to return. Sprint wouldn't take it back so gave it to the girlfriend.

I left in the stock state until the other day. She was having some weird issues (really bad touch input) so I wanted to try some custom ROMs to see if they would fix them. Rooted + S-OFF again and have tried a couple ROMs. Issues seem to be resolved for a bit but then come back.

I tried to revert back to stock again but the System part of the restore said 'Failed'. Luckily I was able to get TWRP back on and a ROM installed, but now I think I'm stuck with a bad Stock PG86IMG file that won't flash the System partition.

Any help would be great. In the meantime, going to keep trying different ROMs to see if they resolve the issues permanently.
[HTC EVO 3D] number1pb:
Did anybody ever answer his question? I have the same setup also and was wondering if this will work.

I also want to make sure that you have to manually flash the eng hboot to have that type of hboot right?

Thanks in advance for anybody who can help.
[HTC EVO 3D] SBERG117:
Have you tried re-downloading the file? Ive done the s-on method and it worked. Could just be a bad download..it happens..
[HTC EVO 3D] creator2456:
Yes, I finally got a good file. Got the phone back to stock, but having the same issues. Screen was fine for a but now the bottom 1/4in. of the screen has no response to touch. Just haven't had the time to get to a Sprint store/spend time on hold.
[HTC EVO 3D] SBERG117:
Well..if you get it back to s-on with a stock rom just go back to sprint when you can and ask for a exchange, they'll do it. I had a problem recently that required me to do s-on. Sprint took back the phone with no hassle..
[HTC EVO 3D] creator2456:
It's gotten much worse in the day, so I'm going to have to go to Sprint. Not looking forward to it. The girlfriend has been with them for years and has had nothing but bad experiences with customer service, and when I tried them out for a month it was nothing but hassles. Oh well, what can one do but ***** and moan until they listen. :o
[HTC EVO 3D] SBERG117:
Try not *****ing and moaning to them..just go in and play dumb, let them feel like they know what theyre talking about and nod your head and agree...Point out the issue your having calmly and just ask for a exchange...Tell them it would make you feel more comfortable to just start fresh with a different device...As long as your nice with them they will help you out....Like anyone they just hate when someone walks in and starts spewing "Im a xda genius" kinda stuff. lol

I tried using the RUU posted here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1194053 to get my Evo 3D back to stock (from Fresh), and the same thing happened as with a different RUU someone on another forum told me to use: nothing. Well, not exactly; after going into the bootloader, it sees the PG86IMG.zip and starts doing ...something. There's a vertical progress bar in the upper right of the screen, but then when it's done, nothing has changed. I'm assuming it didn't actually get flashed, but I can't figure out why. Does anyone have any ideas?

[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
Your phone must say 'fastboot usb', then run that command.

When you run the RUU.exe, your phone must say 'fastboot usb'.

On Hboot is says "shooter xc s-on rl" and "hboot-1.50.0000"

Do I need a different file?

Hi

Android is seriously lacking a good audio recording program. I have been using android for a few month now and it rocks. However, there are experiences that I have had with WINMO that have been better, in the recording program department especially.

The program I used while with WINMO was VITO audionotes. Hands down the best recorder because the quality was perfect, the interface was simple, and it brought my first experience with kinetic scrolling to winmo.

Currently, I am using another awesome program but on android now called Tape-talk, (TAT). It does everything that Audio notes does except one thing, record in mp3 format. TAT only records in either wav or 3gp. This is a big gripe because the files I record are often church services that call for details to be added to ID3 tags. Being unable to tag the files is one thing but the also most droid player refuse to equalize any files that are not mp3.

I have been searching on my own for well before I even joined the droid community and its time to let the community help me. Is there a voice recorder with perfect recording quality and records in mp3?

edit: It will not let me post links to those program, guess I am not active enough on the forums.

Dictadroid - new voice recorder app

Hi,

I stumbled across this post and wanted to mention that there is a new app available on the Android Market called Dictadroid.

I developed Dictadroid with the goal of making a simple but powerful voice recorder. Although the initial version saves the recordings as WAV files. The future version will support compressed audio formats, such as AAC, MP3, etc.

Please download Dictadroid and let me know what you think. You feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Boris

What are status bar widgets?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. What status bar widgets?

And even if I knew what that was I"m 99% sure the answer would be a no. Faux keeps his AOSP as stock as can be. That means whatever CM features you're referring to will not be put on there.

Out of curiosity though, why not just use CM...?

Edit: Ohhh, nvm I know what you're talking about then. Like the WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and etc. toggle? Yeah that will never be in Faux's AOSP ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Oh, those. "Status bar widgets" isn't a good term for those. Maybe "notification tray widgets" or something like that.

FYI, that feature comes standard in Sense 2.1 and 3.0 ROMs.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serious_Beans:
Thanks but nothing either of you said was helpful lol, except for maybe changing it to notification Widgets. First off I know faux wont put it in his rom I was asking if there was a way to put it in...actually I know it can be added I need to know how and yeah but that's sense, I don't want sense lol and I don't use cm because I get more stability and battery life from fauxs rom
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronin178:
Think that is built into the framework, so unless you know how to build roms, cm7 or sense is your only option....someone correct me if I am wrong...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
You're completely right. CM parts and their extra "features" are highly integrated and built into the whole framework. A Simple flash-able zip won't give you those widgets.

I get the same battery with CM as Faux's ROM. And it's extremely stable, don't know how you see CM as not being stable.

[LG Optimus Black] fjsw:
I found it in a chinese forum (bbs.gfan.com/android-2014369-1-1.html)

I'm sure most people found the G button useless, so it would be nice to change that. The following is my experience with it:

The position of the G button make it perfectly useful as lock/unlock button, you can use it to shutdown as well, but cannot use it to switch on the phone, I guess it is electrically hardwired to the power button at the top.

Not too bad for camera, long press it will launch the camera app, but it don't have 2 levels so press it once and it will start auto-focus and take picture immediately, similar to touch and release shutter button in camera app, which mean you can't "dis-engage" a failed focus attempt.

here is the method:

1. make sure you have root and r/w to system partition

2. the file in question is "TWL4030_Keypad.kl", it's in /system/usr/keylayout/

3. before making any changes, copy the file to SDcard as a backup

4. open the file with any text editor, scroll down to 3rd line from the bottom, it should be "key 95 GESTURE"

5. if you want to use it as camera button, change it to "key 95 CAMERA WAKE_DROPPED"

if you want to use it as power/lock button, change it to "key 95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED"

6. save the changes, reboot to see the changes.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Very good.

In fact, I may even use this on nova.
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
the method is work.

after edit file it create backup file which is name "TWL4030_Keypad.kl.bak"
