[EVO 4G General] piggynuts:
Okay, so I just spent an entire Saturday, Sunday evening, and Tuesday evening, about 15 hours of work total, to flash my phone, got everything working. IMO it was way too hard for how simple the task was because of a lack of clarity and information.

MY ADVICE: find two or three different guides, and use my advice below as a loose guide as well, the more info the better. the LEGAL FLASH GUIDE posted for noobs on this site is great, cause it goes step by step, but it does leave out some rather vital parts, so you have to have a good understanding of computers and have sound logical reasoning to get this done.

1) Buy an incognito and download Windows XP and a Virtual OS Software, don't waste your time installing XP and ruining your machine, run it virtually for the incognito modem driver.

2) USE DFS CDMA TOOL, CDMAWS IS USELESS, AND QXDM is only good for ESN AND MEID STUFF... type in the correct SPC which you can get from boost mobile by calling them and asking them for it.

3) SCREENSHOT ALL INFO UNDER PROGRAMMING TAB, including General, NAM, Data, Mobile IP, and then save your 4 NV files needed, 455 etc under NV tab.

4) Put Evo in diag mode on windows 7 side, and use QXDM to SCAN for your ESN LOCATIONS, don't play a guessing game, SCAN. 0 them out.

5) FOR MEID, I suggest googling your radio version and OS version to find a list of matching MEIDs, this will elimanate most for you, then once you've done this, do a scan for the remaining ones. Use HxD HEx editor to scan, THIS IS THE BEST PROGRAM, do not waste time with others. Use windows calculator to calculate locations of remaining hits.

6) once you've zero'd it out, restart the phone, it will rewrite the MEID, 0 out the locations again, then use QXDM to write the new meid, don't worry, it will figure out the ESN.

7) Now, go back to DFS TOOL, COPY ALL INFO from programming tab from old ****ty phone to new pretty evo.

8) You will likely get a "error 16" message once you switch over, just talk to the sprint lady and act confused and they'll fix your phone.

9) if you get error 67 you didn't copy the info in DFS to new phone correctly, you might have two different AAA keys and make sure you have the right amount of profiles and everything mathces mind your p's and q's.

will other phones work? Yes, DFS CDMA Tool iS AMAZING for reading encrypted information and is connected to their servers for many things, like updating PRL etc. some phones however do not use AAA shared keys, like blackberries.

will this work on verizon and virgin and alltell? yes, CDMA's all the same guys. just make sure your donor phone can be read correctly in DFS cdma tool and i don't see why you couldn't get this to work.
[EVO 4G General] shadricksimms:
Is there a guide for this program???
[EVO 4G General] JUSMEJOSE:
I use cdma workshop .... it takes less than 30 minutes to flash the phone into boostmobile ... and you dont need qxdm nor qpst ... just one program *cdma workshop*

Hi all

I have a question about HTC mozart camera.

I've take a few pictures and all are 538/718 pixels.

Is it normal ?

I've set Resolution 8M.

Also is it posible to set Scenes to Landscape and this setting to remain pemanent ?

Even if I set it to Landscape the picture is still 538/718 and on screen I can see on the left side a liiitle portion of my last taken picture.

Please help !

Thank's
[7 Mozart General] stephboyle127:
Hi, if you mean this. When you are taking pictures your veiwer is smaller than your screen and you can see a portion of your last photo to the left. Then yes that is normal. If you are running mango then after you set your picture to 8m then make sure you save it first. That way it will retain your settings.
[7 Mozart General] jbilau:
How can I save it first ?

It's not a save settings there !

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apexofservice:
I've got some extensive discussion here ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17731156#post17731156 ), but I'm thinking it's posted in the wrong place, because nobody's weighed in. Perhaps you captivate gurus might have some advice.

My principle symptom is this:

Trying to install a ROM from ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 SpeedMod ULFK yields one of two errors:

"Can't mount /system/! (File exists)"

or

"assert getprop( ) == I897 ... Status 7" (strangely, this only happens with the CyanogenMod 7.1 for Captivate (and I am using a captivate)

I've got all sorts of things I've been trying. I'm handy with adb and heimdall and linux command lines but I'm stuck here. Any words of wisdom are appreciated.

I'll paste in the content of that other thread and close it if that's the recommended procedure. Just looking for guidance here.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apexofservice:
thanks for the reply

Hi there, I appreciate the reply. It's nice to get some discussion going.

"Odin 1 Click" isn't really an option since I only have linux computers here. If I need to flash a different kernel, or recovery program, I should be able to do it with heimdall. In fact, I've been flashing a few different kernels with heimdall, but obviously I'm still stuck. The flashing of kernels and recoveries is going well. It's the next step which is trouble --- installing an actual ROM. My acute error is quite specific. I'm getting errors mounting /system. It makes since that I'd have a hard time copying anything to a /system partition that just won't mount. But actually, my situation is a bit more confounding. I can use adb to see that is mounted and I've been investigating the recovery.rc script to try to see what's happening in there. One crucial problem I'm coming up against is that I don't have root when I'm at the adb shell. ClockworkMod recovery has some settings to install root, and I don't get any error, but I also don't have /su or I get "permission denied" when I try to run su in the shell. I've been banging my head against this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1215971 ) about trying to root through adb but the adb-daemon doesn't come back up after trying the psneuter exploit. Anyway. Thanks again for the post, but I'm really interested in understanding the issues here. And I'd don't have any windows software at my disposal.

Let me know if there's some other forum I should be posting in.

Best!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
this is the appropriate forum....since its CAPTIVATE Q&A and not generic Q&A

i would guess that you need to try a complete heimdall package that will repartition everything for you.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1266172

somewhere around here Adam has info on how to build the latest heimdall from scratch that will do the repartitioning for you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apexofservice:
thankx pirateghost

I think you're right that somethings wrong on that partition that's not mounting.

I'm trying to use that tool you linked me to, but a couple of funny things are happening.

It seems that the tool starts up correctly and then hangs while "waiting for device". Yet, when I use the heimdall command tool or even just call heimdall-frontend, I can flash. I'm not sure why the "one-clicker" doesn't see the device.

I'm thinking about using my regular heimdall (which seems to be working) to flash each of the parts that the one clicker does, but one at a time. They seem to have been copied to /tmp. Hopefully this works!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
you should build the newest heimdall from source. it includes the ability to partition
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Uh... nevermind. Didn't click on Pirateghost's link before posting.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apexofservice:

It's great to be able to make phone calls again!

I'm still wondering what was up with the state I was in before. Oh well.

[Desire HD Android Development] theLofD:
So i guess I have to convert system, data and cache to ext3?
[Desire HD Android Development] fshami:

Can u tell me the procedure u used for installation so i can put in the installation guide...
[Desire HD Android Development] rmusa06:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] skyinfire305:
Hello, I am new to the forum. I have been following the guide posted here

[GUIDE] Perma-root and S-OFF!! (Both manually or if you used VISONary r12)

So far what I have done is the following:

-I factory reset my phone to avoid any problems

-I temporally root with visionary

-I used root explorer to copy the files hboot-eng.img and wpthis-OTA.ko to data/local directory

-I ran the command

$ su

# insmod /data/local/wpthis-OTA.ko

and I get the following message in the terminal:

insmod: init_module 'data/local/wpthis-OTA.ko' failed (Function not implemented)

Is somewhat the message i should be getting, except that I should get:

init_module 'wpthis-OTA.ko' failed (Function not implemented)

I want to know if that is OK and I should continue with the rooting(trying the command to get S-OFF) or I did something wrong.

I am sorry if the answer is obvious but I don't want to brick my phone

[General Topics] z33dev33l:
ok, I decided to post a thread to get the general opinion on the major mobile operating systems of today. Just post your opinions.

IOS:

Pros- amazing app store, works flawlessly on the hardware provided.

cons- no hardware selection, hideous UI, seems to be geared primarily towards the unintelligent who might actually believe that their phones run on magic.

Android:

Pros- great hardware selection, customization.

cons- feels dated, regardless of launcher you can't get the same level of fluidity you can on other operating systems, malware in the marketplace, feels like using winmo 5 again.

WebOS:

Pros-beautiful UI, great quality experience.

Cons- horrid hardware selection and no real app support.

BbOS.

Pros- can't really think of any aside from battery life. Blackberry messenger was nice too.

cons- I think I had more fun on my Nokia phone playing snake than with anything on BBOS... Just feels like an old people phone.

Windows phone 7:

Pros- smooth, fluid UI across the whole system and most third party apps, solid UI, good hardware selection, quality gaming, seamless social networking and communication integration, Xbox live and Microsoft office built in with bonuses other operating systems can't offer, runs as well as iOS except on an array of hardware.

cons- very little customization I suppose.

So, what's your take on each OS?
[General Topics] nxdu:
iOS:

con - good compatibility only with Apple products

Android:

con - fragmentation, both in OS and Google in general (have two different teams developing the same thing, which eventually lead to the project you like been canned, happened more than one times)

WP7:

con - personally, it looks fugly, and no customisation.
[General Topics] Zmotocescu:
iOS: - very classy design

con - Apple's policy regarding apps

Android:

pro: best mobile OS ever

con: the market is very disorganized with a lot of crappy apps (tom the talking cat?)

WP7:

never used it
[General Topics] vetvito:
Lol.

What a MS employee you are. No cons for WP7! Nice try. This is yet another sad attempt to promote that OS.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Nope, just finally have an OS I truly enjoy.
[General Topics] PharmCAT:
iOS

Pos a lot of users -> more developer support = everyone wins!

Con Close-Environment -> 5% geeks are effected

Not really a "huge" loss, since the Cons only effects a minority of users, most everyday people don't even know difference between closed and open software.

Android

Pos Hacking

Con Unless you are "hacking", there is no guarantee you will be on the cutting-edge of updates and stuff. OS updates take forever unless you are using a Nexus device, everything else depends on the cell provider.

WP7

Pos Is the hipster non-mainstream phone.

Con Is the blackberry of next-gen smartphones. Not enough people have it, so not as much activity in terms of roms and such.
[General Topics] netxph:
IOS

Pros: Fast, good design, "it works"

Cons: BORING

Android

Pros: Customization, variety of phones

Cons: It will took you a while to say "it's the best OS ever", and not for general consumers.

WP7

Pros: Metro UI (you feel, it's something different), Windows Apps easy integration, Fast and Smooth

Cons: After enjoying it for 1 month, it will eventually BORING as well.
[General Topics] Luijo123:
iOS:

pros: lots of developers, hardware harmony.

cons: over hyped, lack of customization, boring.

Android:

Pros: fun, customizable, actually need a brain to use it, growing insanely fast.

cons: too much variation in hardware and some developers don't want to deal with that.

WP7:

never used it but looks interesting, i would give it a try in the future.
[General Topics] Sjael:
iOS:

Pros: It's simple, has a lot of developer support, guaranteed hardware compatibility for developers.

Cons: It's simple, not a great fan of the "my whole OS is an app drawer" thing. It's also hugely over-hyped (my father keeps trying to make me agree that the iPhone is 'just a better package on the whole,' while he has never touched an Android or WinPhone7... )

Android:

Pros: It's completely customizable, cheaper to develop for, an actual hardware choice.

Cons: The market is absolute garbage. The 'F' word. OEMs love to ruin Android with their generally-crappy launchers. Unless you have a Nexus, don't expect updates.

WinPhone7:

Pros: I couldn't say, I haven't used one to any great extent, but;

Cons: I just can't like the UI. Really, did they sit down and brainstorm ideas on how to fit less information onto the screen at any one time? :confused:

cons - too many roms out there for one person to keep track of. but there are apps for that too. and sometimes apps can be a little sketch, but i guess don't download every ****ing thing you see on the market then, right?
