[HTC EVO 3D] RemWhale:
An RUU sounds like something I should put on my SD card; What is /10char?

Where do I find them?

@ Drewmungus:

I can get into boatloader, and fastboot, but the recovery is shot; it just restarts the phone. When I reboot the phone, should I try to adb/push something?

Many Thanks for you responses! :o
[HTC EVO 3D] :
RemWhale,

Here is the fix (which was also above):

Download TWRP 1.0 and read the instructions on installing it on your phone. Once it is installed, recovery should work. If it doesn't,

Boot into bootloader with vol+power down. Then hit fastboot and connect your phone to your computer. Download the PG86IMG in the OP, and flash it how you would on hboot 1.5.
[HTC EVO 3D] RemWhale:
Problem from bad freezing or Recent ROM

After all this, my battery shorted or something, but I did get a new one from Sprint today. I tried it out these solutions! My report:

Recovery through SD Card:

For newest versions: teamw.in/project/twrp/67

Successfully put

PG86IMG.zip

and

recovery-twrp-shooter-1.1.1.img

onto my SD card, and went to Bootloader; it said "Updated succesfully.";

when I restarted my phone, I still could ONLY see the background pic and status bar, but nothing else. It was the same. :(

RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.08.651.2_Radio_0.97.10.0808_NV_SPCS_1.31_003_release_208230_signed

RUU failed - Error 155 - Unknown Image Error:

One of these error messages will appear when you'd use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, It means I need to download the correct RUU version and try again. But where? :confused:

Factory Reset

Nothing. I still get MY emails, which you can see in the attached picture of the screen I get to below.

Re-Unlock Bootloader...

Take out SD Card; Cmd: "fastboot oem lock" - Cmd: "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"

(No icons on home page at all? How strange...) Hey! I'm back in! :eek:

Made a Phone call! Installed some widgets! Restored contacts!!!!

The day is saved; All is well. :o

Not able to tell if I have any ROMs on it at the moment...

It appears I had the wrong RUU and/or PMG86.zip; I have HBoot 1.50; is there one for my newer version? Should I start a new post for my resolved situation?

BTW, thanks for trying! Please add "Re-Unlock Bootloader" as a resolution.

:rolleyes:

Please, Thank me if his helps you too! Others will find be more hopeful. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] RemWhale:
Try Re unlocking the Bootloader -That was the only thing that could solve my problem! It erased the problem, whatever it was - Let me know if it works!
[HTC EVO 3D] meatgel:
It was a brick. I couldn't power it on and the charge light wouldn't come on. I changed batteries, changed power cords ... the guys at the Sprint store did the same stuff and then took it apart to see if it was water damage (LOL). They said they'd never seen one that wouldn't even show the charge light for a second.

I got a replacement in the mail. Hboot 1.50. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Well, did you try going into recovery at all? I should have included that you should have reflashed the ROM and the kernel to fix it. That probably would have gotten you fixed after the first step.
[HTC EVO 3D] babybear293:
usb does not work

i flashed the miui rom and now my phone has no usb so i cant do any commands i cant use the rom i had to restore a back up of an old rom and still no usb no usb in fastboot nothing and im not sure what to do its not the cables
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Did you try another cable? Are you sure its not the cable?

Plug in the USB while the phone is off and tell me if you can do 'adb restart'. If your phone starts, that means the USB works it should be fixable by flashing the PG86IMG.

If it doesn't work when the phone is off, there is something wrong with your USB port or the cable you are using. There could also be something wrong with your comp/usb power source.
[HTC EVO 3D] subaochen:
So you mean, computer can find your phone when the phone is completely power off, and adb restart can power on the phone? I have never tried this, is it really?

---------- Post added at 05:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 AM ----------

I'm almost sure that when the phone is completely powered off, "adb devices" command can not find the device, so "adb reboot" will not work.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bromar:
Nope its the battery you will need a new one the same exact thing happened to me.now you can also get what they call a developer cable, which you run of the PC, the trick its itallows you to run without a battery in making your

Phone think it had the battery confection and you can reset battery stars I believe
[HTC EVO 3D] priologiacomo:
help! I have an EVO 3D GSM. I have basically put a hboot wrong. Result: black screen device with little light, and bright red when I connect to the PC.

how can I fix this?

THANKS TO ALL.
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
Wa wa waaa
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I've done it before while it was completely off. Even if you take the battery out, if it shows that red light blinking, that means you can still do adb reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Hmm, I don't think there's anything you can do if you install the wrong HBOOT. There could be one thing that might work, but I don't know if ADB PUSH works while the phone is off.

1) Find the hboot you want to flash (you should use stock)

2) Post it here, I will extract the hboot.img

3) download adb files and connect phone to PC

4) try 'adb push hboot.img /data/local/tmp/'

then

'adb shell'

'su'

'dd if=/data/local/tmp/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18'

'sync'

5) your hboot flashing is done. If it works, congrats!

However, I don't think this will work because I'm pretty sure only adb reboot works while the phone is off. If it does, I don't know if the commands are same. I got this information from a G2 and Desire Z thread since I don't know much about flashing HBOOTs. If the commands do work, the '/dev/block/mmcblk0p18' will probably be named differently since its a different device.

My advice would be to post a thread about it in QA and see if anyone can help you.
[HTC EVO 3D] priologiacomo:
thanks for being interested, but I had already tried using adb, but unfortunately it only works if the device is seen from the PC via USB. Unfortunately this does not happen. so I decided to take it in for service. hope for the best. Hello and thank you again.
[HTC EVO 3D] subaochen:
I just can "adb reboot" when the phone is powered off, although the red light blinking.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
You can't? If you can't that is strange. I completely turned the phone off and plugged it into my computer. Adb devices should show the device attatched and in 'recovery'.

It should install a driver. Also, make sure you have the HTC Fastboot drivers. That could also have to do with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] subaochen:
Yes, I have installed htc sync and reinstalled it but remain the driver installed.

How do you mean HTC fastboot drivers? is it the same with "htc drivers along with HTC sync"? thanks in advance!
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Hmm, I'm pretty sure those are the fastboot drivers.

I'd go ask for help in Q and A since I don't have much knowledge about this.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
I have multiple versions of contacts, those with numbers that are not on facebook, and people who use their real names on facebook that don't merge immediately on their own, etc. How can I permanently merge contacts/pics/etc. I didn't have an issue until flashing Eclipse V.7 now everything is unmerged. None of them are even automatically merging like they had done before(Same name and everything).
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
There are two ways of doing this depending on how you want to go about it. The reason it doesn't show up as a problem until you use Eclipse is because Motorola Blur merges everything and honestly, at least in my opinion, creates a mess. lol.

The first option you have is to go on GMail and merge and organize them yourself. You can also export contacts from Facebook into Yahoo and then export from Yahoo to gmail. I also know that with Eclipse I think you have to use Friendfeed or something like that to sync your Facebook contacts. Oopps I guess there really isn't a second option anymore, I kinda merged it all into one as I was typing. :p
[Motorola Droid X2] nitroglycerine33:
With version 0.7 the native facebook app will sync with your contacts. I guess I forgot to mention that in the latest changelog!
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
I already did it all by hand. I was hoping there was a shortcut as I have over 700 contacts(not Facebook friends as I am leaving that ****ty site in a week, just contacts) LMAO.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Thanks for the help though!
[Motorola Droid X2] jesusjuice007:
Mine came in mismatched too. Ex puts them all together as far as I can tell.
[Nook Color General] Poundcake921:
I rooted my Nook about 2 1/2 weeks ago running CM7 encore nightly 146; had no issues with the battery whatsoever. All of a sudden no matter what USB cable I use whether its the B&N cable/charger or not, the battery is taking forever to charge. Like this morning at 800am, I used the B&N cable/charger for the Nook and the battery reading as of 12:04am (Thursday) is still only at 61%. I mean come 17 hours to charge a battery and it's still not a 100%!!!:confused:

I wiped the battery stats in recovery mode and rebooted it hoping that it would incease the charge but no such luck. FYI, everytime I charged my nook the screen would always stay on and I use it pretty frequently to watch movies, read books, and use the web browser.

As of now, I powered down my nook to see if it would charge without being in sleep mode to see if that was the prob.

I really would appreciate if anyone could help me with my problem! It's very frustrating!
[Nook Color General] bigbob23:
It will charge much faster if you attach the charging cable and then power off the Nook (however mine sometimes will turn back on during this process).

That's a pretty old nightly!
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
It will only fast charge with the B&N Cable AND B&N Charger. Any other combo will not fast charge, and will charge only at 500mAh vs 1900mAh.

Unless your NC is very loaded, it will charge quite fast on the fast charger, so I suspect you're not charging it with the cable + charger or there is something wrong with one of the two.
[HTC Sensation] ramsrocker:
I am running cm7 with the newest radio and everything up to date. It is just running perfectly but i am trying to load 1.7 gigs of music on to my sd card and it is going terribly slow 128 kb/s. estimated 4+ hours to move these few songs over. Wasnt having this problem before with ARHD 3.6.1 is this a known bug with a known fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] romasalah:
hey guys...i really need your help.

my phone build is froyo.jpjpf an i flashed "CF-Root-JPJPA-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1"

but odin stopped at "zimage" and i unplugged the cable..u know the rest!!

BLACK screen and only can reach download mode.

can i flash back stock kernel? or can i use cm7rom + cm7 initial kernel?

and what other suggestions? pls need reply
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ramas123:
Go to download mode and flash the right kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] romasalah:
i can't find any with the name jpf...i tried jpA,jpH,jpM & jpK but nothing works. all stuck at zimage message. do u know which is compatible?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ramas123:
Do you put .tar file in PDA in Odin?

Also try different usb port or another pc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bork84:
first of all I think thah CF-ROOT is not for FROYO 2.2 . only gingerbread 2.3.

So you will need to find another kernel.

You can flash a stock rom via odin, it will be your best option. and if you do that flash a 2.3 one. it is much better then 2.2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] romasalah:
Thanks guys...i finally managed to restore it. but i followed the hard way. first downloaded a new 2.3.3 firmware from samfirmware .the biggest problem was that odin 1.7. stops or "stuck" at the message "param.lfs" but after i woke up. i changed the USB port and it worked thanks "ramas123". "My friend's phone" is back to life. you may noticed i'm new to this forum so thanks for your help.
[HTC EVO 3D] ULoveAriana:
I just rooted using a guide for the revolutionary method. It says the .exe is supposed to ask if you want to install clockwork after it obtains s-off & it never asked me. I do have s-off but no recovery and no superuser as well. I searched this problem and found answers. I found a zip & renamed it to PG86IMG.zip on the root of my sd or whatever & tried to install it but i don't think it worked. I've tried to go into recovery & all I get is an image of a phone & a red triangle. I have a clockwork img now but I have no idea how to install it & i tried to go to my sdk but all my laptop says it has is sdk manager & it won't let me enter any commands. I've been reading for hours & I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated if anyone knows & thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] lexusmike:
Download this file and rename it PG86IMG.zip and place on the root of your sdcard. Its twrp recovery, which I prefer to cwm

http://db.tt/aShyeKO9

Now turn off phone and boot into the hboot and wait for it to check for update files and follow instructions to install. I think its up for yes and down for no, and wait for it to install. Then reboot and delete the file from your SD card. You should be able to boot into recovery now. Then flash this fixed su found in the twrp recovery thread.

[HTC EVO 3D] ULoveAriana:
I renamed it and everything & put it on the root of my sd but when I get into hboot & it loads it says no image
[HTC EVO 3D] respectagain:
Make sure you don't have the file named as PG86IMG.zip.zip

If you have file extensions turned off in Windows you may have done that by accident. If you have file extensions hidden just name is PG86IMG without the .zip part.
[HTC EVO 3D] lchupacabras:
You're also probably trying to flash a recovery on an HBOOT v1.5 phone; I've had no luck flashing it with the aformentioned .zip method try using fastboot to flash the recovery:

(On windows)

If you're not familiar w/ fastboot and such see the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
[HTC EVO 3D] ULoveAriana:
This was actually the issue. I put the .zip in there when I really just should've put PG86IMG so it wouldn't have .zip twice. Thanks for the help guys :)

so funny lol
[Fascinate General] Zacisblack:
So I went on My Verizon account a few minutes ago to pay my bill and this is what it says next to the picture of my phone:

"Eligible for a Discount!"

"You ARE eligible to upgrade with discounted pricing. If you upgrade on or after 5/18/12 you are eligible to receive an additional loyalty discount."

And I clicked that and went to the page that shows available phones and pricing and it's showing 2-yr contract prices e.g. iPhone4 16GB new 199.99 and Droid Charge new 249.99. I thought it was an error and I clicked the Droid Charge and followed through up to payment and the total for the phone was 249.99 plus tax and activation. Obviously I didn't follow through because if I were to get a new phone it would be the Nexus Prime =D.

Last time I went to checked out phones it said I was not currently eligible for an upgrade and showed off-contract pricing. Is anyone else's account showing this? It has thrown me off a little bit.

Update 10/8:

Went to talk to a rep today and the main line on a contract gets to upgrade after 12 months. The pricing is based on a new 2-year commitment plus $20. Early upgrades can only be done at Verizon retail stores and online. Nexus Prime, here I come.
[Fascinate General] stimr2:
I saw the early upgrade as well.
[Fascinate General] AuroEdge:
I am not receiving the same treatment
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
my mom's line says the same thing. they'll let you upgrade and renew your contract but the phone will be at 2 year price with no additional discount for upgrading on or after your upgrade date.
[Fascinate General] tyler79durdan:
interesting, subscribed
[Fascinate General] johnnyplaid:
I got an email from the with the early upgrade. I guess they want to add an additional 2 years to our contract. If you keep upgrading every chance you get, pretty soon, you've going to be locked into a 4 year contract making it almost impossible to leave.
[Fascinate General] Zacisblack:
How can they do that? By signing a new 2-year agreement the old agreement is invalid. That means that your contract expires 2 years after you sign the new agreement but not the 2 years plus the extra time left on the current contract.
[Fascinate General] Nemeth27:
The main line can actually upgrade once a year. But I at lower discounted price that 18 mths.
[Fascinate General] Zacisblack:
The prices is it showing me are prices I would pay at 18 months e.g. iPhone 4 16GB new 199.99 and Droid Charge new 249.99. These are fully discounted prices not partially discounted. Also, I thought Verizon did away with annual upgrades even for the main line?
[Fascinate General] anticitizen:
Verizon did get rid of annual upgrades, but only earlier this year. If you signed a contract before they took the annual upgrade away then you are still grandfathered in.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Because they are some shiesty bastards lol. I called enough times and complained about my droid eris being laggy and not having enough ram to run the system let alone any added apps. I told them the only way to get it to run right is to flash a new rom, but that would void my warranty. Agent said he would let me chose any new device for free other than the thunderbolt(which was just released at the time)... So I had them send me a new fascinate and got to keep my eris, don't ask me how or why but they did it. About a week later when I went to log on my vzw account to pay bill I seen my contract was extended one year(on top of the 2yr I agreed to on the eris 6mo prior) without even telling me!! I didnt get too upset because they sent me a brand new fassy for free. My point is: Vzw wireless policy depends on the region of the country your call got directed to... I have been told so many different policies on what they can and cant do, you would think your talking to a completely different company. Vzw is the like the damn weather man, the forecast changes everyday!!!
[Fascinate General] johnnyplaid:
Signing a new contract does not necessarily void a previous one unless it explicitly states so. Ever notice you sign a two year contract but they let you upgrade after 18 months.
[Fascinate General] mrjake1970:
2 reasons..1. they want as many people to update prior to the new 4th quarter phones come out. that way people will have used their upgrade discounts and pay a higher price for the latest phone.

2. they want to jack the revenues for the 4th quarter where vast majority of pure profit is made (think black friday).

Samsung Fascinate :: MIUI 1.9.23 :: JT V5 kernel
[Fascinate General] ThunderStick:
By signing a new contact chances are you will no longer get the unlimited 4g, but fall in to there new tiered data plan. Be very cautious when upgrading your phone if you have unlimited now.

Sent from the tip of my ThunderStick on a bolt of lightning...
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
This is false...if you upgrade from 3g smartphone to 4g smartphone you keep unlimited data long as you had it before the tired plans went into effect. I called about it and went on the website to check. It would let me upgrade to lte and keep the same unlimited data just had to pay retail since im under contract right now.
[Fascinate General] joe$007:
Phew I was wondering, glad they are not as ****ty as described. No early for me, just checked.
[Fascinate General] Zacisblack:
Yea like I said I went through the entire process up to payment. It offered me the $30 2GB plan and my old Unlimited $29.99 plan. Obviously I would choose the latter. Only if this evasive Nexus Prime gets launched soon...
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
called vzn last week about the missed calls and not getting text or pic messaging and the tech i talked to said the problem is known and that vzn was allowing early upgrades plus an extra $50 off if you have a fascinate. told her that was nice but i shouldnt have to pay for a new phone since mine was less than a year old. still waiting for the second tech to call me back. not sure what they are going to offer as a replacement phone yet but it had better be good.
[Fascinate General] Avalanch3:
If you have the unlimited data plan, make sure they do not rope you in on their new data plans. When my Fascinate got replaced, the reps at the VZW store also changed my data plan as well. I was furious when I found that out, and they refused to fix it.

Called the VZW customer support, I explained the whole ordeal and they fixed my data plan back to unlimited. Just be cautious when you try to upgrade, make sure you'll get that unlimited data plan (disregard this post if you entered Verizon with the new data plans :P)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] claimui:
[Note: This is my earlier post explaining what I did to make this solution work. Please note that I am a complete development noob! I hope this information is helpful and other people will improve on my solution.]

- There is an Android port of Privoxy on the Android Market called Privoxy (BETA 1). Install it and see if it works for you. On my phone, the app interface does not work. If I try to manually start Privoxy in a terminal window, it gives me a seg fault. Anyway, run the app once regardless, so that it copies the Privoxy files to the app data directory (/data/data/com.galoula.Privoxy/). We will use this directory as our base.

- A *working* Android port of Privoxy is included in Orbot: Tor on Android. (Tor uses Privoxy to pass the HTTP requests to a SOCKS proxy.) Download, install and run Orbot. You just need to run it once so that it copies the Privoxy binary to the app data folder.

- You'll find Orbot's Privoxy binary in /data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin. Copy the "privoxy" binary and use it to replace the binary that came with Privoxy (BETA 1) (located in /data/data/com.galoula.Privoxy/bin). Set appropriate permissions. (We only installed Orbot for the binary, so you can uninstall Orbot now if you don't want it always loading in the background.)

- Now set up the filters. Download the attached force_colors.zip below. Extract the three files (force_colors.action, force_colors.filter, and privoxy_conf). Copy these files to /data/data/com.galoula.Privoxy/etc.

- Open a terminal window, navigate to /data/data/com.galoula.Privoxy/bin and start privoxy by running "./privoxy ../etc/privoxy_conf"

- By default, Privoxy will listen on port 8118. Go to your WiFi settings or APN settings. Set the Proxy name to "localhost" and the port to "8118". Now all web data will pass through Privoxy.

- Browse to a few websites and you'll see white text on black backgrounds! The default colors in the force_colors.filter are black for backgrounds, light gray for text, and green for links. Feel free to edit force_colors.filter to whatever color combination you prefer. I used HTML color names instead of hex codes to make it more readable.

- To run Privoxy every time at startup, I use an app from the Market called Autostart (Root). The directions are limited but basically, you just need to install the app and make a file called /data/opt/autostart.sh (set appropriate permissions). Then in autostart.sh, put this line: "/data/data/com.galoula.Privoxy/bin/privoxy /data/data/com.galoula.Privoxy/etc/privoxy_conf". The next time you reboot (might have to try it one or two times), Autostart will ask for superuser permission, and start Privoxy automatically.

Hope this is helpful for anybody else who wants to experiment.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tmuka:
hey claimui, this looks like a great approach! i'm looking forward to giving it a try this weekend and learning more about how the filtering works!
