[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frickinjerms:
try this way? its how i flash my recoveries when im switching or testing...

remove any pc36img.zip files from your sd and boot to your bootloader...

when you bootloader boots up let it scan for the pc36img whatever thing and let it say not found...

now highlight fastboot and click the power button and wait for FASTBOOT USB to show up...

then type in these codes...

fastboot devices

it should output some info, if you get some serial number then your good :D

then type in...

fastboot flash recovery *whatever the name of the recovery your using is*

so like for amon_ra 2.3 (which is what i use is)

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img

just make sure that the recovery img file is in the same directory as the fastboot.exe file on your comp (its should be with all your other sdk stuff like adb.exe and such)

if all goes well then itll say

pushing recovery OKAY

writing recovery OKAY

and the amount of time it took...

then click back into your bootloader and go to the newly written recovery

(i apologize in advance if you already tried this with no avail)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdbrown5:
I've set up fastboot usb and done this. Everything wrote ok and finished, however i still bootloop when trying to access recovery. I have tried multiple recoveries including clockwork 3, recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img, and doing entire nandroid restores using nandroid recovery batch script. In both cases everything passes and nothing seems to be functional afterwards.

Any other ideas? :confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frickinjerms:
dunno man.. im just trying to visualize how it bootloops going to recovery.. it should be the white htc screen (or any other splash you may have set on there) and then boink recovery... does it like just sit there on the splash and thats it?

try letting it boot normal and then when it goes to the rom loading screen type in

adb reboot recovery

other than that something is totally askew bro
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdbrown5:
When booting, i'll get the white htc screen for 4-5 seconds, then it'll power off and reboot, unless i boot to hboot. When i hit recovery, it goes black for a second, then reboots to htc screen and repeats.

I've also tried complete wiping recovery and reloading using fastboot commander, and doing full pc36img.zip that include hboot, radio wiimax updates etc http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=830153&highlight=wimax

I may just go into a sprint store today. Was trying to avoid it as I really don't want to be stock again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdbrown5:
This may be a little progress....

I updated to hboot 0.93.0000

Now when i try to flash recoveries by hboot they pass and bootloop still, but when i try to flash recoveries by fastboot via pc -

"writing recovery..

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

does this provide any insight? going to try downgrading hboot again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frickinjerms:
the only hboot that allows fastboot commands is 0.76 unfortunately

try running an ruu maybe? other than that i havent the slightest idea
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdbrown5:
I used this RUU - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7529500

My brother has the same problem and i have been trying to fix it with no luck. When i boot the phone up its beeps/vibrate 5 times, then sits on a black screen. I can get into hboot and load pc.....whatever files, it says they work but still reboot, 5 beep, ect. I was going to try an RUU next i see that didnt work for op.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hddvd:
i just ran into this problem today. I was at work when it randomly rebooted and now is stuck in a bootloop. i have tried everything even using the latest RUU. it finished but still bootloops. I am also not able to get into recovery. Sucks because im out of warranty. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] envioustitan08:
So let me get this straight...you can't go into recovery because there's no recovery? You've installed drivers and ran RUU and still nothing? That seems weird because i had the same issue when i first rooted my phone with unrevoked, all i did was run the RUU and it restored my phone back to "stock" and i re-rooted again but this time using z4 root. You might just have to take the phone back to Sprint :eek:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariorivera830:
Same issue but worse

I'm having the same issue as the OP except that my buttons (power and volume up/down) will not respond. I have scoured these and other forums for a situation like mine and have found none.

I have tried flashing recoveries, RUU's and jsut about anything someone says.

First screen says:

supersonic evt3 ship s-off

hboot-2.10.0001

touch panel atmelc03_16ac

oct 15 2010 12:01:00

hboot

fastboot

recovery

clear storage

simlock

hboot usb

then it scans the sd card for the pc36img zip. It will load but will freeze on the next screen:

parsing...... [sd zip]

1. boot loader

2. radio

3. boot

4. recovery

5. system

6. user data

7. splash

8. wimax

it will stick here and I am completely lost. My old Palm Pre will only suffice for a day.... max.

If anyone has come across a situation like this that might help me, would you please point me in the right direction. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
If you look in autoroot thread in my sig the "tools" zip has something that will let you flash different partitions from fastboot. If you use that to flash the PC36IMG from here it will give you the eng hboot back and possibly reflash whatever got corrupted.

Keep in mind, that will only work properly if you are not using one of the 2.xx hboots. Only phones with a 0.9x hboot will let you use it.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Remember_54:
hello Guys,

This may be a simple question I just don't have the simple answer too :(

I sell my HTC hd2 and wondering to get something new, so I get Motorola photon 4g w/o plan, yesterday it arrives directly from motorola.store for $549

I`m leaving far away from USA, our country is Azerbaijan, Baku. it is 3000m. away from Turkey.

anyway, photon 4g came with his sprint Sim card (with ICC ID code on it)

I took it out and installed our network card, i tried 3 different sim card from different networks, but i can not receive or make any calls, on screen network is in range, but it can not register in network completely,

keep showing:

"contacting Network"

then:

Hands Free Activation

"Your activation could not be completed"

well we do not have here Sprint or AT&T and etc. so i can not call anybody to ask anything

is the tel is block or ? how can i use it with my network sim-cards?

thanks to all in advance, i`m new to motorola.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Call Sprint, there should be a sticker giving you the number on the phone when you buy it. If I answered what you were asking...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Remember_54:
I called them, they keep asking sprint cell. phone number. do i have it ? :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beach_Head:
Interested in this as well as I may be on the same boat pretty soon.

If you bought it off-contract, I don't see why you'd need a Sprint account...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beach_Head:
So were you able to resolve this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Remember_54:
sorry did not had internet...

anyway i did not get any reply from sprint only massage:

Dear Sprint Customer,

Thank you for your inquiry. I am thinking that if you bought a new Motorola Photon you would have needed to activate the phone in the US before you left on your trip. Phones will not activate internationally. I do apologize.

Thank you,

Patty (rd756540)

after that i get in "mobile networks" then "Network Mode" in phone

"Sprint only"

"Any CDMA"

"Any GSM/UMTS"

"Automatic"

well i put on automatic, then network came

after that i gone to "Select Network"

"GSM only - Saves Battery"

"UMTS Only - Better performance"

"Automatic - Default'

(What is i this??? :)

Anyway I Choose automatic - as i said network came and phone is working, but you need to do it after each restart of phone.

Also it also working like in roaming mode, i mean phone showing everything like in roaming.

USSD codes are not working at all

so it is still problem.. i do not know really what to do , any suggestions?

is it any way to install new rom with completely "sprint" things off the phone?

Hello !

Im in the way to be crazy...

Im flaahing roms 3 or 4 times a day...

The only objective is to have 16 hours of battery in a day with push email , and web ....

Stock and moded..

Diferent kernels

With or without samsung apps

Hard resets

Juice defenders

Battery calibration , give some cicles to the new rom....

.....

I Cant see diference or improvements in battery managment

Please tell me you best results vs roms and kernel. Please...or i will have to sell the sg2 and buy an iphone again.

Hey there!

Hi, maybe stupid to ask since you are flashing 3 to 4 ROM'S a day but have you tried lite'ning rom? I find the battery duration on it very surprising and with normal usage (the things you mentioned) I last for about 20-25 hours.

Good luck finding something that fits your needs!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
SetCPU and all those undervolting/underclocking stuffs are useless.

@OP- You just need to find what processes or apps are causing the drain, to see that download Better Battery Stats and check under 'Wakelocks'. Juice Defender, Flashing different Custom ROM's, changing kernels will do nothing but waste some energy and time of your and give you false mental peace. But it is recommended to Calibrate the battery once after you install a new ROM.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stavr0s91i:
I also have Lighting 5.0 and nipho 2.0.5 and my battery life is great!almost 2 full days with medium to high usage which is just GREAT for me ;]

-Advanced Task Killer autokill set to ON.

-Green Power Premium and Powersaver Enabled at 10%

-Autokill Memory at Startup

-Also Instaledl Root Uninstall and froze all stock applications which where not needed which HELPED ALOT,because applications running in the backround does drain battery and trust me 60% of applications running are not needed

-Also have Battery Calibration which is nice.Use it after flashing every rom ;]

-If you dont really Use 3G that much Change Network Mode to GSM only and disable Use packet data.If you do use 3G just install an app like Cambia Red make a shortcut on your screen and enable disable both Packet Data and GSM to GSM/WCDMA(Auto mode) to use 3G and then switch it back off.

This is what i do with my phone,with all this settings i am extremely happy with my battery performance ;]

Also i Agree with ithehappy install BetterBatteryStats and see which programs have high Wakelocks!! ;]

Hope it helps

Hi guys,

I am running the Lite'ning Rom v5.0 XXKG6 on my Orange UK Supplied SGS2. I would like to know if it is possible or if anyone is able to get the Orange Signal Boost App to run on this or any other custom ROM?

I don't really want to go back to the standard Orange ROM, but could really do with the UMA Signal Boost App as I get very poor signal in the office.

There is another thread which talks about this here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036713 on the Desire S, but they haven't managed to get it to work, however I beleive that is becasue they are trying to port it from another device. Whereas we know it works on the SGS2 already!

Orange Signal Boost - I9100 / ICS 4.0.3 xxLPH - SIM Card Not Recognised

Hi all – I just wanted to give my experience of Signal Boost on ICS xxLH.

I followed the instructions given by 5aq1b on page 18 of this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20803760&postcount=172) using the SignalBoost.rar posted by Joey2o11 on page 12 of this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19692151&postcount=119).

When I restart my phone it does not recognise the SIM card.

When I copied the new default.prop to /system, I was given the option to merge with the existing default.prop.

Was this the correct choice or should I have first deleted the existing default.prop?

I've restored using CWM so no problem.

If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

I really do not want to return to the stock Orange ROM but I'm not so happy about having to stand at the bottom of the garden to make a call :-).

With thanks

Good Morning,

I am after a certain type of app but I am struggling to find something that suits my needs and I was wondering if anyone here can point me to a good app.

I am looking for something where I can hide an app from my App Tray and launch it via the phone dialer by typing a certain code.

So to recap I do not want anyone using my phone to be able to see this app. I don't want and password protection or fake error message I want it completly hidden and only available through the dialer.

Any suggestions?

Try Hide It Pro it give you the ability to hide pics, videos, and apps. I believe this is exactly what you are looking for. It installs as a cute little app called "Audio Manager" which you can configure to actually function properly. There is a secret "button" press to get you to a keypad for a passcode. Enter your passcode and your in.

Hey guys, Just had a question about the HD Dock. When I connect mine, it looks as though the area on the phone u can use as a mouse, and it also shows a little keyboard on the bottom right. But when i click that a keyboard doesnt pop up, also when i try to use the phone screen as a mouse nothing happens?? Is there somewhere to enable this? Or does this not work yet?

It should work fine. Try repeating the phone or rebooting.
[Motorola Photon 4G] twospirits:
Clicking on the keyboard does nothing unless you have the cursor in a area where you can type. But i'll be honest, its hard to use since the cable leading to the tv is short. And i have to be in a arkward position to use the onscreen mouse and keyboard

Is there any way you can set it to mirror the TV's display on the Photon's screen instead?
[Motorola Photon 4G] flash_c4:
It would have been nice if the dock had the ability to set the phone flat because then the touchpad screen would be easier to use. It's multi-touch so if you're doing something like playing Angry Birds while sitting in your office it's pretty functional if you can get used to the angle.

Then take a picture of this homescreen with the stock GS2 Screen Capture app (Home + Power buttons).

If you only want the background picture of the displayed homescreen, then it's available in the stock wallpapers of the GS2.

If you want your background picture to look like the homescreen shown on your picture, you can set one of the 7 available Touchwiz homescreens to your taste, then you take a picture of this homescreen with the stock Screen Capture of the GS2 (Home + Power button).

Then you set this picture as wallpaper and you're done.
