[HTC EVO 3D] Joey_UFC:
ever since G+ came out its been like having 2 XDA sites to get news from and talk to the community, At least for me. So this why i made this thread so people can add people from the community to their GTALK list. the past month i have realized i have added almost 20 people from XDA and have found it very useful in many ways. I get updates when new roms are released and anything droid related. Even when i have troubles i shoot a message towards someone and get a speedy reply.

Very useful since Everyone has Gtalk automatically built in there phones and is great once you get your friends list up.

Post your Emails here if you wanna try it out for Yourselves, If you don't want to cause your Gtalk is more personal then thats fine. its not for Everybody.

Try it out guys!

i want to flash my new phone to metro pcs so that messaging ,internet ,and talking works also the gps system . can someone giv me steps by step how to doit ,i need the best rated recent tutorial there is out there ..:confused: where could i fint it ?:confused:
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
There are locations that do it, but they aren't cited. You'll have to first get your Epic's ESN on MetroPCS..

(I'm one of the Few Members --don't know of any others though-- that have their Epic on MetroPCS..) I took it to a location that did it for me though because I didn't have the time to dig through forums looking for those locations that'll add your ESN to Metro.

ok i wasnt asking if u did it or not ,but thanks ,i kno you want to help, now my question is where did you doit? and is there a website that i could find to do it
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
The people who did it were representing a Company called 'Beige Phone' they indeed have a site, might wanna give them a call, if there's a location near you, be ready to shell out 50-75 bucks.

[Epic 4G General] n3llyfl0w:
so there is no way i could get my epic to work for metropcs for free?
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
Unless you open up business with MetroPCS,open up your own store, and become an Authorized Dealer, in order to have access to their system's ESNs.. No.

Flash a sacrificial esn from a metro phone? Kinda Like the boost method. Just a guess. I am on sprint. Lol

Sent from my Epic. Which is better than yours. :P
[Epic 4G General] Leviuqse:
Boost mobile charges the dealer $15 to get the esn added..the cheapest u will find to get the esn added will be $25..but they usully charge $40. Metropcs internet speed is painfully slow to the point ur battery dies faster. I highly reccomend u to have it connect it to boostmobile instead

Sent via the pirated premium XDA app
[Epic 4G General] n3llyfl0w:
does boost mobile use gps system and gets 3g?
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
It most certainly does. In case you didn't know, boost IS sprint's prepaid network.. so yeah, things will mesh a lot better on the original network. As for me, I'm only with Metro because no other prepaid network has Roaming Coverage that's compatible with my phone in the specific part of Oregon that I'm in. So 10 bucks a month for Roaming is a walk through the park for me.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] enderdeckard:
I didn't find an answer to this question in my search, so here goes:

I did Optimus T root (gingerbreak) & custom recovery (amonra) and installed a custom ROM. (android 2.2.2)

It says that it may take "a while" to boot . What is the longest time anyone has had to wait for the phone to boot for the first time after custom ROM ?

I've been waiting over 20 minutes now and no response.

Should I assume it is bricked ?

I thought I did everything the way it was supposed to, except I'm not sure about this step: "Wipe your cache, dalvik cache, SD card"

What does wipe your SD card mean ? The card contains the recovery stuff, so surely you're not supposed to delete that ?

Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] InfiniteRisen:
Sd card wipe is optional, however did you wipe data before installing a ROM?

Swyped from my LG-P509 using XDA App.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] enderdeckard:
I did the wipe of cache and davlik cache.

Actually, I just tried a different custom rom, and now it worked. Not sure why, but I'll experiment some more I guess.

[HTC EVO 3D] funkyboy1281:
Seeing as I have flashed 4 different roms on my phone and made a nandroid of each and I don't want to keep making backups of them that way I'm thinking of using titanium or my backup. Not sure which is the best and with google's 15 min test limit that really doesn't do me any good so I was wondering what others thought of which app to use.
[HTC EVO 3D] tjb3401:
I've been using titanium backup free for about a year. Easy to use, and It's what I would say most flashaholics here at xda use. I definitely recommend it for anybody who has root.

Thank me if I've helped!
[HTC EVO 3D] Drewmungus:
Free sucks so bad compared to the paid version! The paid version automates the whole process of restoring, so you don't have to hit install for every app it just does it for you. I love titanium backup so much I have over 200 apps so it's a real life saver.

I've never used my back up pro, but I'd really like to hear some peoples opinions on it and if it's better.

OK i had recently installed a custom splash screen into my phone but now i don't know how to remove or replace it...i don't want the original stock splash screen. i just wanna know how to remove the custom one i installed so i can replace it with another plz help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cares:
Are you talking about the white screen with the black words HTC EVO? Or do you mean the Sprint splash screen?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaxiolafm:
You didn't actually "install" a custom splash screen, you replaced the splash1.img file. Unless you have the stock htc Evo 4G screen backed up, you'll have to find it. I'm actually pretty sure someone in here has posted it so you can download it. Once downloaded, replace it the same way you put your custom one (I use the PC36IMG.zip method).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holywar926:
ok well i did find the stock htc Evo 4G screen and it was in a PC36IMG.zip file and i copied it to the sd card and then i tried rebooting and in to recovery mode...and then its supposed to scan for any updates and it didnt find the new pc36img.zip file...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shootin4aces:
Make sure it is on the root of your sd card..... And it will be installed through the bootloader and not your custom recovery.... Also make sure the file is not pc36imgzip.Zip.... As it will not install it if it's like that!

Put it on the root of your sd with the proper file name pc36img.zip.... Power off evo.... Hold volume button down and hit power.... When prompted to install the update say yes

Upgrade Infuse 1.53 to Infuse v2 Beta 3

Ok, here is step by step upgrade from Infuse 1.53 to Infuse v2 Beta 3 Custom Rom​

1: If you have a /Voodoo folder on your internal SD card, delete it.

2: Download http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...a-3-full.zip&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13124967301111 update-infused-v2.x.x-full.zip, and http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...ernel-v1.zip&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13124965954951 Odin_Infused_V2_CWM_Kernel-v1.zip and copy both files to SDCARD

3: Install SGS kernel flasher from the Market.

4: Open SGS kernel flasher, select choose kernel, select Odin_Infused_V2_CWM_Kernel-v1.zip,

select flash kernel. Your phone will reboot and begin to enable Voodoo lagfix.

(this may take an extra few minutes).

5: Once the phone is booted, select "Recovery" from the power menu.

6: Select "install zip from sdcard" and select update-infused-v2.x.x-full.zip.

7: Go back to the main menu in CWM and select "wipe data/factory reset".

[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
i already deleted a voodoo folder within sdcard, but now i'm not sure if its looping or bricked. I went back and read the dev section and it does state that this step will take a while but its already been over 15 mins
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
well, part of the issue is that you already had a voodoo enabled kernel. so you can skip a few steps. go back to the v2 thread, and in the instructions GTG states if you've already got voodoo you can go to step 7, which tells you to just install the file to your sd card, boot into recovery and flash.

at this point, i would pull the battery. insert it again, hold both volume buttons and hit power for a moment or two. let go and you should see the samsung logo, and it should boot into recovery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
i have aim. sorry, i just used the instructions that were posted.

shoulda2000 is my aim
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
no problem man, i'll IM you.

edit: well, i tried but your s/n is invalid?

if you can boot into recovery do that. then try to install file from zip again. wipe data/factory reset and reboot.

Hey everyone. I have noticed how most people are having a hard time with mods for Godmode. I Have updated quite a few mods to run on Godmode and have been pretty successful so far. In this I will be providing my method of updating mods that has been pretty successful so far. I have updated rosies and themes using this method.

Big thanks to fdb8231 for the original script.

First off what you need:

Android Signer

7zip

I also use Winrar for extracting.

My attachment below.

I assume you all know that you should install the programs you downloaded. I dont believe win rar is necessary for extraction its just what I use.

Now on to the fun parts.

First off you should have the modification either already on your machine(if your the creator) or you need to download it if you dont already have it downloaded.

Next step is creating a folder on your machine for the mod and extracting it. use either 7zip or winrar to extract the modification to the folder you created. The next step is to download the attachment below.

extract it to a folder of its own so you have it for future modifications.

copy the modified script.

next go to the extracted modification. go through the file path META-INF->com->google->android. and replace the updater script there with the one I have provided you.

next use 7zip to create a .zip archive.

finally open Android Signer drag and drop the file on the program sign it and it will create a mod that is signed and ready to flash.

Enjoy your modifications.

Need help please!!! I rooted my DX2 few weeks ago using Gingerbreak. Everything went well all this time. Today I tried to unroot the phone. Because I was going to up date to Gingerbread.

Thank you so much for your help..
[Motorola Droid X2] Calcobrena:
I've seen a few posts now of people getting that error message because they tried to flash the SBF before extracting it from the ZIP. That needs to be put in the HOWTO tutorial.

Also, RSD Lite likes to warn you that disconnecting your phone can cause permament damage even though it's finished flashing. (Progress is at 100% and it tells you to reboot your phone manually). That should be put in there, too. The phone is flashed but RSD doesn't always properly disconnect on it's own but as long as the progress is 100% and it tells you that it's complete and you can reboot your phone then you are done.
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
It does say in dag425 howto post that you need to extract with 7zip, I've thought about asking him to capitalize it or somehow make it draw more attention, think I will PM him about this
[Motorola Droid X2] Calcobrena:
Ask him to also mention that when progress is at 100% and RSD Lite tells you that it is finished and you can manually boot your phone that you can disconnect your phone regardless of the warnings from RSD Lite that disconnecting your phone can damage it because it won't disconnect on it's own no matter how long ya wait. It did that to me and I thought I was gonna ruin my phone!
[Motorola Droid X2] sg1858:
Thanks for all the help with SBF. I am having another issue now. after following the directions the phone is up an running. Instead of using prerooted gingerbread, I installed from OTA ver 2.3.3.

I have been trying to use gigerbreak.apk to root it again but after all the step, the phone just runs the exploit. I let it ran over 15 mins to no avail. I have tried 3 time and no success. Am I doing something wrong? Is there another exploit for DX2 2.3.3?
[Motorola Droid X2] Calcobrena:
the new 2.3.3 isn't rootable. gingerbreak doesn't work. hence why a pre-rooted version was created. you need to SBF all over again, wipe your phone and install the pre-rooted version.

the steps are SBF & WIPE Froyo

GINGERBREAK while on Froyo (root your phone)

Install Custom Recovery on your Rooted phone (because it won't work unless your phone is rooted anyway)

Boot into Recovery

run SD : update.zip (with the update.zip on your external SD CARD)

takes a lil while and your phone might boot loop a few times. Just let it do it's thing and you'll have rooted gingerbread.
[Motorola Droid X2] sg1858:

You need to open the recovery apk and click 'install recovery' then plug the phone into the wall outlet and press 'recovery mode'
