I would unplug the USB from the phone. Pull the battery from the phone. Restart Odin on the computer. Put the battery back in and hold down the volume rocker (both vol up and down) down and plug in the USB. You should see the screen you just saw but Odin should assign a port to the phone. Then start your flash. If it hangs again, I would download it again and start again. Sometimes the downloads get corrupted.

All is fine. It will just take a bit of time but you will get it installed.

Some have had cables go bad so if you have a different cable, try it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OstrichSak:
I flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 on an Evo 4G on Sprint service and now I get text messages that say I need to call 408.970.0000 to get my VM. When I called it I got a recording about having a smart phone with SMS or something or another and I wasn't sure what it asked me but I pressed option '2' and it said something to the effect that it would continue sending me SMS voice mails but that's not what I want. I don't like getting the cryptic text messages and would much rather have the previous VM solution I had. I think it's called visual voice mail or something to that effect.

If I want that back and to do away with the SMS notifications what are my steps?

Can anyone help me out or link me to a how to and how to resolve my voice mail issue?

I found something about a Spring VM apk so do I just need to install this app and if so where can I find the latest one compatible with CM7?

Thanks for the help.

Which topic specifically?

Since posting this thread I kept searching and I've found some threads talking about a Spring VVM apk and I've downloaded what I think is the right file that I may try. Now I'm just trying to make sure this is my solution.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
Try the themes and apps subforum. Your answer is there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luist4498:
We are in the middle of this same discussion on another thread so im guna hook ya up. First, download the two apps i linked below. Then using root explorer or a file manager that has root privileges mount system as r/w and delete the stock CM7 MMS app in system/app folder. Than move the MMS app i linked to system/app. Long click the MMS app and make sure permissions are set exactly like the other system apps, click ok. Now do the same with the VVM app below, move it to system apps and set permissions as well. Mount the system as r/o again and reboot your phone. Go into the VVM app and set up VVM and thats it. You will now have visual voice mail again and no annoying 9016 texts. BTW, the MMS app i posted is from Decks AOSP 1.3d rom(that has the fix for the 9016 texts) and the VVM app is from the 8/22 GAPPS, Enjoy.......
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OstrichSak:
Thanks, I'll try it out soon as I get a chance. I installed an apk based on something I found and it kind of worked but I was getting those annoying 9016 texts like you mentioned. I'll give this a go when I get some more time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luist4498:
Cool man, if all the steps are done right there will be no annoying 9016 texts.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toney Starks:

im using OMFGB and im having problems with voicemails after i flashed the rom, it keeps saying unable to play message
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luist4498:
I have not tried that rom but the issue we are trying to fix is the annoying texts you get with every vm from 9016. I know this works with the salvaged rom too. The vm come through on your vm app though? Also, some have had success with the following if the VVM app is not verifying there account automatically. Press menu in VVM and compose a message over 25 seconds long. Send the message to activate@vvm.sprint.com and make sure you have either wifi or 3g enabled so it will send. This should kick start it.

The part in bold above; is it just called MMS.apk or should I be looking for a file called CM7 MMS? Just want to make sure I delete the right one before I get started here. Also, is this process going to be changed any because I installed the VVM apk before you posted this or will following your steps still yield the same results?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luist4498:
Yes the app you are looking for is in system/app and is called Mms.apk. The icon looks just like the messaging app in your app drawer. If you already have VVM set up and working than just delete stock Mms app and replace with new Mms app and reboot, thats all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OstrichSak:
Flawless Victory!

I just wanted to quote this post again for anyone who may be searching for a solution to the same problem. Since I had already installed the VVM I simply deleted the MMS apk and replaced as instructed and it worked perfectly. Thanks again for taking the time to post up the fix and link the files needed.

For the record, I searched and while I found ZERO answers to my problem there were sure a lot of people suggesting to search as the answer was as easy as falling off a log and that wasn't the case. I get SO frustrated when people offer zero help and instead ridicule any and every post looking for help to somehow make themselves feel better. No, the answer isn't always that simple and no you're not helping anyone. If you don't have the answer, a link to the answer or at least first hand knowledge that the answer for sure exists someplace recent then do everyone a favor and move along w/o posting. This forum is made better from people like luist4498 who actually contribute and not people like you who appear only to be around to pad their post count.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luist4498:
No problem man! I dont understand why certain people are so nasty about another asking for help when it took me only a couple minutes to upload and post the files and fix. Go figure, btw, if u flash CM nightlies or re-flash CM for any reason u will have to do this fix again since they install the stock MMS again when u flash nightlies or re-flash rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OstrichSak:
Thanks for the heads up but I'm not one to flash ROMs on a regular basis. I was running MikG v2.3 for months before a got caught in a boot loop which forced me to reflash a new ROM. At this time I looked at what was available and decided I liked CM7 the best and flashed that. Unless something else catastrophically fails or I find a feature I can't live w/o I will likely rock this ROM for some time to come. If I do change it though I will be sure to do the fix and refer back to this thread for a refresher. Thanks!

Privacy experts 'roast' Kindle Fire for 'watching you' online - worse than Google OR Facebook

One of the most unexpected features of Amazon's new Kindle Fire was that it shipped with an all-new web browser, Amazon Silk - speeded up '20 times' by the power of Amazon's 'cloud' computing servers.

But the processes the Kindle Fire uses to 'speed things up' are already setting off privacy alarm bells.

British security company Sophos's Chester Wisniewski wrote in a blog, 'If you think Google AdWords and Facebook are watching you, this service is guaranteed to have a record of EVERYTHING you do on the web.'

'Every page they see, every link they follow, every click they make, every ad they see is going to be intermediated by one of the largest server farms on the planet.'

'People who cringe at the privacy and data-mining implications of the Facebook Timeline ought to be just floored by the magnitude of Amazon’s opportunity here.' -Chris Espinosa, a senior employee at Apple

Read the entire article here

Looks like Amazon isn't just going after the Barnes and Noble market, but also Facebook's corner on sales of customer information to marketing companies. I think after Amazon has a captive audience, there is a distinct possibility that in the future the company will block unless a subscription fee is paid for accelerated Silk access to "non-approved" sites.

I know there will always be people that say "I don't have anything to hide" but fortunately the majority of people do not share the same nonchalant exhibitionist attitude and value privacy.

After reading this, I would definitely never buy an AF.
[Nook Color General] bobzdar:
You know they also announced you could shut it off, right? If you are concerned with them watching you, disable it and use the browser normally.
[Nook Color General] majorpay:
Yep, your porn viewing habits shall be safe with a simple flick of a switch... :eek:

Now grandma catching you doing things in your skivvies ... well now, that's an entirely different issue.
[Nook Color General] Imbroglio:
Did you read the article?

Users who are seriously worried about the power of Amazon's cloud to track, watch and deliver advertising can simply turn the split-browser function off - although the company warns that this will slow things down.

And there goes the 20x browser speed.
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
Are you just trying to complain for the sake of complaining? If you want the speed boost provided by the caching you'll have to be okay with Amazon having access to your browsing history because that's the way caching works(guess what? your ISP already has that access, so it's not really a loss of privacy).
[Nook Color General] Imbroglio:
I did not know that I am required to submit my opinions to you before posting them here or be subject to your personal attacks. You have my insincerest apologies.
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
Facebook, google and, pretty much every other company tracks your data too. It's really not anything new.
[Nook Color General] SCrid2000:
I don't think it'll be any worse them what google already does with Android.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
Kind of sad that everyone is okay with this... I mean I understand, it's already been done by other companies so...-- so what?

But it just feels dirty that everyone is okay with this... Just another step being taken towards to losing our freedoms and privacy, oh well.
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
There is no such thing as privacy in the digital age. If you have a cell phone you can be tracked at all times(http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/26/business/media/26privacy.html), if you watch digital cable/Netflix/Hulu someone knows what you are watching at all times, credit/debt card there is a record of everything you buy, Facebook/MySpace/Dating websites... and so-on, son-on, etc, etc...

Anyway, in the case of Amazons silk browser, you can turn off the caching and use it like a regular browser if you have "privacy concerns", so there is absolutely no reason to raise an alarm here and run after Amazon with pitch forks and fire.
[Nook Color General] jacjar1:
Big BROTHER is alive and well...Orwell was a genius!!!
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
And I understand this, nor do I think Amazon should be punished for it. Merely stating that the future is a scary thing and little by little -- we are accepting these terms for "safety" reasons.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
But most that complain are the ones that want the simplicity and speed that giving up those "freedom" (as called by others) and "safety" provides us.

People want speed... along came cookies so information you had to enter to get the site info was already saved....

People wanted more speed... so along came caching of sites and data... so next time you wanted access it was readily available... (this is what proxy servers initially did)

People wanted even more speed and "safety"... proxy servers were modified and hacked to make "Big Brother" think you were accessing a site from somewhere else...

Fast Forward to today... Internet use has boomed... along with it people are learning more.... SORT OF...

MOST people only understand enough for the alarms to go off in their heads when they see someone advertise they are proxying items to increase speed.

When they proxy a previous site what they are doing is storing a page that was accessed so next time someone wants that page they can save however hops on the internet it takes to get to that page... sometimes as many as 30 hops...

NOTE: a "hop" is a device on the internet that routes the data traffic to the next device to eventually get to the information requested by the user.

[Desire HD General] Bestevaer:
If your phone is already rooted, it will take around 30 minutes for the first time you do it. After several times you get used to it and it is done in several minutes. But you must realize that you want your phone to be personal, so then the setting up starts, and as you probably know, that is never finished...:)

An hour for me haha, from 2.3 to 2.2 then ARHD. It's not the flashing that take lots of time, its more of the preparation of files that are time consuming.

Edit: For 50 USD you can get unlimited talk/text/data, which is good for 30 days, FYI. I don't think it's "true" unlimited data, they probably throttle you after 2GB, but it should suffice for a short stay.
