[HTC EVO 3D] Night·Fire:
I can only see it as a good thing. Sprint lost a lot of customers when the iPhone came out, hopefully they'll come back and Sprint will have the money to upgrade and add towers.

Sprint will die if it doesn't keep pushing. It needs more revenue. IIRC, a single tower is a 6 digit initial investment, plus maintenance. That's a lot of subscriptions.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
I guess some people forget Sprint is a business. Whether or not folks here like the iphone doesnt negate the fact that it'd be the best selling phone Sprint has ever had within a month of release.
[HTC EVO 3D] FoeKilla:
Using this analogy, why aren't you railing against people who root only to get free wifi tether? That's a potential fire hose attached to your house.

Or why not complain when Sprint lands another top-tier Android phone which will also attract customers?

Is it safe to assume you rejoice when sprint loses customers?
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianDigital:

You're just mad because the only thing that works with Apple is another Apple and you just found out you can't afford their ridiculously overpriced merchandise. :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] Ruki_Uki:
Maybe if they got the iPhone then more ppl would be coming over for the prices. Then with more ppl they would be forced to make their 3G and 4G better.

[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Not only that, but they would create more revenue and profit off it, so in theory, they'd be able to afford network expansion. (Probably what you just said lol)
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
I'm hoping it will lead to that.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
2 thoughts on this.

1. Having the iPhone5 brings more customers which could lead to better profitability long term and hopefully a better network.

2. Having the iPhone5 could hurt profitability short term as they need to pay Apple subsidies per handset. Apple gets more than any other manufacturer from carriers. Also could hurt Sprint as the network would get more congested.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
More customers will also equal higher prices. Right now a lot of people stick with Sprint because they offer the best prices and plans. If the iPhone crowd jumps on the bandwagon Sprint won't need to keep the low prices to draw people in.

[HTC EVO 3D] IFMISM:
I don't think getting the iphone is entirely bad, but what I have noticed is that 2 companies that sell it started capping the data shortly after. This is my only concern. When Verizon got the iphone they immediately went with the 2 gig tier plans. I wonder if sprint will have the balls to say no and still offer unlimited

[HTC EVO 3D] jringo718:
This is both good and bad. I for one will probably pick up an iPhone 5 for Sprint if it's released and just alternate between the iPhone and EVO3D. I'm just afraid of new policy changes that might appear due to this like the ETF going up. I doubt data will be tiered anytime soon, but it is a possibility eventually.

I'm wondering how that will affect my area. Service is pretty poor in my area right now, but that just started a few months ago probably due to the influx of people jumping ship due to the tiered plans on the "other 3". It is was absolutely great before though. To me, anything above 1 MBPS is acceptable at the cheap price we pay, but there's a lot of peak time congestion with data, dropping to 100-200. So I see 1+ only from like 1 or 2 AM till 11AM-1PM.

There's also a chance the insurance deductible might also go up if they decide to allow insurance, unless they have an iPhone only insurance plan.

In the end, it's great they're opening up options. Not sure if this will help with competition, as other countries have it on all carriers and things didn't change much. Android users use the same amount of data as iPhone users, so that shouldn't be an issue, but if a horde of customers suddenly jump in, it will affect things. I hope Sprint gets their "Network Vision" thing deployed soon. Things should get much better after that.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mrdiaz09:
Am I the only one that has noticed the trend with the iPhone. The iphone 4 was release to ATT at the same time their unlimited data changed. The iPhone 4 was released to Verizon at the same time their unlimited data changed soon after. I hope this doesn't happen to sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] JTNiggle:
Nope not the only one, see the reply 4 posts before yours.

But, I don't see this happening very soon. Right now half of Sprints ad campaign is about how their network is the one truly UNLIMITED left, so I think they'll want to keep pushing that for a while. Right now that's a huge selling point, add in the Iphone, and Sprint is about to become the biggest network around.

I imagine that prices will start to go up slowly, but that's what they always do. When was the last time you got a notice that you current plan was no longer available, and you could sign up for the new, cheaper one instead?
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Well iPhone finally got insurance till last year from asurion, and for me it was 11$ monthly (ouch!) And 150$ deductible, but I got to give warranty to apple, there the best warranty I ever had, from my first iPod touch to my iPhone 4, really great service and there people know what there talking about unlike going to a sprint store and telling stupid crap that they don't know crap about android, Google should open a Google store or at least HTC
[HTC EVO 3D] jringo718:
Wow $11? Well, I guess that's what they'll end up going with.

I have to agree with the Apple service though. I've had all the iPhones thus far as well as various friends and family members having iPhones and iPods. They always took care of us promptly and fairly. I've had some good experiences with only one Sprint store, a store full of hot chicks. Just flirt a little and I'm good, but yeah, my closer stores pretty much just want you out of there.

I will never buy an iphone, but I will be happy if it brings new customers. Sprint can't expand and upgrade until they get a better income
[HTC EVO 3D] icantdr1ve65:
Although this may be a good move for sprint, I'd still never get an iphone or any apple product for that matter. I really hope the unlimited plans don't take a hit though :/
[HTC EVO 3D] Zambooki:
I'm excited for this. finally get to experience both worlds. iphone is a fantastic phone
[HTC EVO 3D] wormyMNT:
Yall r not seeing the bigger picture, Sprint sees it.. I have no problem with the iPhone coming to sprint... Some ppl love the iPhone, but hate at&t & version's plans and data.. 2 of my friends family switched from at&t (iPhones) to sprint. 1 got the epic and the other the 3d like me.. but these ppl also love the iPhone.. now with the iPhone on sprint network these ppl can switch to sprint and get everything they love and want... And there's def no problem with that.

[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
Yeah seriously, keep those iFanatics the hell away from my network. My speeds suck already, they better find a way to compensate for all the morons that move to Sprint. I want to salvage my 100kbps speeds, dammit.
[HTC EVO 3D] evohog:
Why yes I am high;) my wife wants the iPhone so I'm gonna have one in the house eventually. And as for my led lights, yes it looks cool so thank you. Anyways, the iphone is a good device its just the deadbolts, padlocks, gorilla glue and unremovable screws that I don't like. Oh well to each his own.
[HTC EVO 3D] hamn2eggs:
Unlimited data going away is inevitable. With over 300 million cell phones in the US alone and smartphones becoming ever popular and cheaper, there's no way the networks can sustain unlimited plans forever. It may not happen overnight, but it will happen.

Also, I'm guessing far too few people remember when Sprint had capped downloads to 2GB about 5 or so years ago. It didn't last long, but it did happen.

As far as the iPhone goes, if Sprint really does get the 4 and 5, I see that as a good thing. Maybe when Sprint has close to 100M subscribers, they'll finally be able to afford to really overhaul their network instead of this hit or miss crap they're currently doing. I mean, it's better to spend $15B on LTE than make sure your current network is up to the task. Amirite?
[HTC EVO 3D] ricocollege:
There is not way the network as it is now can handle the extra bandwidth hogs that come along with the Iphone. As for now, Sprint just wants to play the "somethings wrong with your handset" game. I barely get any 3g speeds and not 4g eventhough they claim I am in a 4g area.

They are giving out airwaves like candy just to get some of the traffic onto you local broadband networks. I had a manager the other day tell me that data and voice over my airwave count towards my sprint download totals eventhough I pay comcast for my bandwidth, I am returning the airwave to them today.

I live 2 miles from google HQ and in the 2nd biggest city in Cali but sprint claims it is a fringe area now. the Iphone is just going to make things worse.

I dont know if alot of people know or not that you can run sd builds while using clockwork in magldr. Ive read somewhere that if you use an sd build in magldr you can not use ad recovery but to me that is false. i wanted to try Mccmjoons latest build and all i did was go to services>boot settings>ad sd dir. pick your build after its been altered to work for magldr because alot of these builds come ready to use for windows so once that is done in the main menu of magldr choose boot ad sd and youll be in a sd build. if you reboot it will go into whatever was flashed in clockwork so to reboot back into your sd build either hold the end(power)button until main menu than choose boot ad sd, or go to services again>boot settings>boot source and pick your choice 1.android from sd 2. android from nand for cwm builds and theres a third option but its for windows 7 to be booted from nand. Enjoy.:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] alex5790:
I've noticed that a lot off people get the update, try to apply it, then are disappointed when all the get on reboot is an android with an exclamation mark so I figured I would shed some light on how to minimize this and it comes down to checking the updater-script which I'll tell you how I do. First thing I do after getting the prompt for an update is let it download. After it downloads I use root explorer(since I am rooted) and copy the update from /cache to /sdcard because one thing I've noticed is that I can't get the prompt to update again if it fails so this way I've got my own backup of the update. Now, instead of accepting the update I first append .zip to the dlpkgfile in /sdcard so that I can open it. Open it and navigate to "\META-INF\com\google\android\" and open "updater-script" which should open in the text editor. This file is exactly what the update is running when it starts. First in the file is a list of asserts and these are what generally cause the update to fail. What they do is check to make sure the file it is going to patch is unmodified so that it can successfully patch it. If it detects the file it's checking is modified it kicks to the !. 8.6.5.6 initially didn't work for me but by checking the script I found the problem was my srs_processing.cfg file because I tried to fix my speaker balance and this was a file that the script asserted. After restoring the original file I was able to update with stock recovery even though I had modified other system files including kernel. As long as the specific files the update checks are ok the update will proceed. If you have never modified anything and are completely stock then you don't have to do this, it's just nice knowing what's going on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicdave26:
I can remember with an old 2.1 tablet we used to modify the actual update script and remove the part of the script that it checks against, so the update would go ahead without checking anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] KaylordTheuZ:
Guys, supposing the FOTA update has gone wrong (that's my case, and i understood why... most probably the issue is related to my modified wpa_supplicant this time) ... Is there any way to re-trigger the update procedure?

As far as I've understood the update is cached after download in the tablet, is there any way to retry in case something's gone wrong?

Otherwise, as far as I know, the only way is to bring everything to stock using Nvflash and original ROM and wait for Asus to put on their site the update. That seems to be related to the fact that Asus servers track any FOTA request for a device and let you download it only once. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] alex5790:
If you're US you can get the update from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1231635 rename the update to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip put it on the root of a microsd card then boot the transformer into recovery and it will update. As for the wpa_supplicant, use the stock 3.1 in the OP of this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1093778 and you should be able to update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rufik:
Can I use CWM recovery or stock recovery required?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] alex5790:
I'm pretty sure you have to have stock recovery. If you have CWM you could try it and the worst thing that could happen is just the update failing. Also make sure you have a U.S. transformer because that specific update is U.S.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryan stewart:
Hmm, I dont have the compass issues so Im trying to decide here if its worth restoring my old SystemUI (I am running the stock buttons) because that is the only thing I changed when rooted in order to update or just wait for someone to put out a deodexed version.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kenlperry:
Is there a quick and easy way to restore/flash the stock recovery? I have CWM and want to get the stock recovery back, but so far the only ways I've found to do that require using nvflash and wiping everything. Am I wrong? It seems like there should be an easier way. On my Evo 4G I was able to flash back and forth between recoveries.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GiantSeaturtle:
My firmware has been downloaded but is not in /cache. Is there another location where it could have downloaded to? What is the file name of the update?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] alex5790:
For the transformer I don't know of a easy way that would be a question for a dev.

It should be named dlpkgfile. If you are not running a file explorer as root the /cache directory will appear empty. I personally use root explorer because it runs as root by default. I'm not sure what other file explorers can run as root.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dugout2929:
I was one of the dumb ones and ran the update while still rooted ( thought I wasn't but I guess I was). I then used the Nvflash and original ROM to get back to stock US 8.6.5.6. I then followed the direction in the post to get he dlpkgfile and renamed it EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and put it on the root of the SDcard and booted into the RCK and I am still getting the Yellow ! mark. All I did while rooted was apply the netflix patch but I was under the assumption that if I ran the NvFlash back to root that it put back the original file for libnvomx.so. Is that not the cause and has anyone been able to use this dlpkgfile to get to the updated version?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] alex5790:
It has to be the external microsd card, not the internal sdcard.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dugout2929:
Thanks, I went ahead and ran it from the MicroSD card and I am getting still getting the yellow !. I would have thought had I done the nflash to the current rom it would have reset all the files under system.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] alex5790:
The only other asserts are:

assert(file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/US_epad/EeePad:3.2/HTJ85B/US_epad-8.6.5.6-20110726:user/release-keys"

and

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "EeePad"

so unless those are different it should work especially if you nvflashed it back to stock. Does it immeadiately go to ! or does the green bar at least progress a little? Also what region eg. US,WW,TW
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dugout2929:
It does a the progress bar for about 1 sec or so. It is the US version.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
You can use nvflash to "download" partition 5 which is the SOS/recovery. You can reflash the stock and apply the stock OTA. There will be no --create flag in the nvflash command.

A modded OTA won't work with the stock recovery because of signature checks.

CWM should be able to flash everything but the blob, but you have to mount system first. You can mount staging and then the blob will flash as well (after a manual reboot to recovery). I have to admit that it is a pretty convoluted process if your android-fu is weak.

sent from my cyanogen(mod) vision
[Eee Pad Transformer General] alex5790:
Possibly there could be something wrong with the rom used to nvflash. What you could try next is go to Asus's site and get the 8.6.5.6 update, unzip it once so that it is only a single zip file, rename it to EP101_sdupdate put it on the root of the microsd and try to flash that then try to flash 8.6.5.9 again
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dugout2929:
I was able to do this and it worked perfectly, I was thinking maybe the file dlpkgfile that I got was corrupt but I am able to unzip it etc. I guess I will just need to wait for Asus to put it out on their site.

Thanks for all the help.

Hello,

I recently flashed a custom rom to my Samsung Galaxy 5 i5500 and i didnt back up my stock rom so i used one i found on these forums, now i am wondering if my phone will appear stock and will there be any files on my interal/external memory that i can delete (that will show that i voided my warranty).

My phone details are;

GT-I5500

2.2

I5500XWJP3

2.6.32.9-perf

root@DELL104 #1

FROYO.XWJPJ

------

I had to flash clockworkmod v4 onto my device before i flashed Cyanogenmod so i am wondering if all traces of ClockworkMod have been deleted when i flashed the stock rom back.

The reason i am asking this is my phone is broke (i can use it fine, but the battery is damaged somehow so it doesnt charge properly etc)

So basically;

Does my phone appear stock from the details i have given above?

Is there any files on my device memory (internal or external) that i should remove manually in order to get a repair?

And finally- is Clockworkmod fully removed from my device?

Sorry for the large amount of text.

Thank you,

I will 'Thank' every post that helps me resolve my questions.

I've had multiple times where a carrier rep has looked at my device in-store, running MIUI or CM7 and they were actually jealous, they didn't get mad. It depends on how you do it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CurtisAndroid5:
I've got a person from these forums sending me a battery for free to see if thats the problem, so i am waiting to receive that battery before i take it in store- so im trying to make sure its as stock as i can get it incase i have to take it to the store to get repaired.

You're welcome. Now, I'm on a galaxy s mesmerize, I believe you have the same tools with your phone. Could you go to the specific forum for your phone and find some files for Odin or Heimdall to make it go straight back to stock?

We have threads for my phone that you might have similar ones of, just look for "Make your phone stock" or "Official Odin/Heimdall" or something like that.

You should be able to use that to get back to unrooted stock and send the phone in, if the battery doesn't work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CurtisAndroid5:
Yeah ive already used a stock rom from the i5500 sub forum, but i am not 100% sure Clockworkmod has been removed- or if there is any left over files on my device's internal memory which should be deleted before i send it off for a repair!

As soon as it gets fixed il be flashing it straight back to CM7!

Thanks again!
