Is there not a block to prevent Metro from pushing new PRL's to our phones?

Surely there has to be something created to block unwanted updates. Out of all of the Devs here, someone has created an update lock...right?

Uncheck ota in dfs
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exleh:
I think its the fact that Metro tries to update but we are getting Sprint's 02004 prl instead. I don't know if anything can be done about that though..

If you open up dfs in the nam tab there is a bunch of boxes one of which says OTAPA if you uncheck that box you should no longer receive any over the air programming.

2004 is actually a metro prl and an evdo one at that it is just very old. From prior to them disabling there evdo coverage to work on lte. That is just the default prl that Houdini phones get. And the way they push the prls to phones goes by what your in there system as like me I do mine myself and use 3022 so whenever they push one to me I get that. It's basically what u were putinto the system with you get back.

LoL, mine is 1x super slow and my speed test application is always between 100-170, so if you get 30k then don't think you had 3g just because it is 5 times faster it's still 1x. Besides my area is 93304 and confirmed 3g so never fall for that you have to be in a confirmed area fib again.man
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atljatl:
Just a confirmation that I did this a couple months ago, and I have not received any prl pushes since then.

Hi, can you please tell me how to get to those settings? i can't find them on my fascinate?! Since reflashing my phone with 3022 prl back to 3G in Atlanta.

speeds not great but up to 500kbs downloads. beats the 25k on 1x

Bro, just move to Boost Mobile. You will never look back. Ive had it for about 4 months now and dont regret getting off metro. Sure each have their pros and cons(for me) but you get used to it.

"ESN Fix"? Does that require a donor phone? Or can I do that without one?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nymica:
Pretty sure he's talking about using a "donor" phone.... although I've never heard of calling a person thats had their identity stolen a "donor" lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightzun:
lol but nope you wouldnt call it "stolen" if its your legal property either. The rundown is, you buy cheap 3g donor phone and do the esn fix and your finished.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atljatl:
What up nightzun. You took your evo to boost just as I got on this thread. I remember when you flashed it over. Glad to hear its going good over there for you. Can you tell me about your plan? I'm on the verge of leaving metro myself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyder3:
No, he was right. I was talking about stealing someone else's identity, and then telling them that they better not snitch. And if anyone asks them what happened to their phone, that they should say they "donated" it...thus making their phone a "donor".

Hybrid PRLs

Just to let everyone know, I'm trying some hybrid PRLs that I'm making myself using QPST. I read on a cricket forum someone used a Sprint/Cricket hybrid successfully to improve their 3G. I tried it with no success. I have had some success with my Metro/Sprint hybrid:). Some success meaning that 3G shows up, not very stable though. Speed seems to be like 1x:confused:. I tried a mix with Verizon, but that gives me no connection:confused:. Here is what I made up. They are all running Metro 3029. The first is based off of Sprint 11119. Second is Sprint 60686. The last one is Verizon 52707. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Hi guys,

Just wanna ask any Malaysians here experiencing intermittent switching between HSDPA and 3G, with connections dropping as you please in 3G?

I've been trying to deal with this problem, but it doesn't seem to go away, so I thought it could be my Modem and/or Kernel problem.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Yeah, it sounds like a modem problem. I've had the same issue. Just try a few modems and see what suits best.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakai4eva:
Thanks! I was beginning to get paranoid and wonder if I should have stuck with the HTC Desire.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
There seems to be data freezing issues when on Maxis, Celcom or Digi with default KF1 modem. This problem seems to be there on all modems so far. Disabling Fast Dormancy helps a bit, but not too much.

Usually, data freeze shows an upload. You have to disable data, then re-enable data for the problem to go away. There doesn't seem to be a way to fix it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakai4eva:
After 1month+, I found out it's a kernel + modem thing. 3g will be preferred unless you're actively connected (saves bat), and will switch over to HSDPA if and when you're actively seeking connection (running apps/games with screen on).

I'm currently on TWD 2.5 kernel, and KF2 modem.

[HTC EVO 3D] selders59:
Ok so then that would mean and correct me if I am wrong. But the way you said they are then we would only see his modded lockring then when we moved it to unlock our phone, is that a correct assumption?

i went in and messed with each file individually they look pretty cool. if anybody needs help pushing any of these to their phones message me. it will require certain little tools to do.

Fix?

Get fusion.apk and Idlescreen_Base.apk from the rom you are using and push them to /system/app with adb or restore a nandroid backup or get the 'rom' versions of those apk's and replace the ones in the flashable zip you downloaded from post 1.

I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.

Official Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.6

Note that ROM manager support isn't currently complete. ROM downloads etc should all be working fine, but it needs to be updated to properly flash the recovery. At the moment it uses a method called fakeflash which will load the latest recovery from within whatever recovery you have installed. All other aspects are working fine though.

Download:

5.0.2.6: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-u8800.img

Installation Instructions (upgrading - root explorer method):

Using any file explorer which is able to remount as writeable (such as root explorer), browse to the /cust_backup directory and remount it as writeable

Navigate to the image directory and backup up the current recovery by renaming it to something like recovery.bak, or _recovery.img

Rename the downloaded recovery to recovery.img and copy to the image directory.

Installation Instructions (new install):

Unplug any usb connection and turn the phone completely off

Whilst holding both the volume + and volume - keys hold the power button to turn the device on. Let go when you see a pink/purple screen.

Attach the usb cable to your computer and wait until a few usb mass storage devices are detected and mounted. Look for one that has just one directory called 'image' in it. Navigate into this directory and you'll see recovery.img etc.

(optional) Rename recovery.img to recovery_backup.img

copy the new recovery.img to image, unmount the mass storage device (safely remove in windows) and then pull the battery out to turn the phone off.

Hold volume + and power to boot to recovery.

Install any custom rom

Install rom manager and update to latest recovery

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
Stockwell, this is for old backups and for the ones made already with the new recovery? We still have to make these alterations everytime we want to restore?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fancyzs:
Thanks a lot . Good job.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Sorry I meant to reword that since its a little unclear. This is only for backups made with an old version of recovery. All new backups will name it boot instead of cust.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
You probably need to change your anyKernel script as well to use /boot instead of /cust for the boot.img, if I did not misunderstood.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
Ok thank you stockwell, was just to have 200% sure
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
The recovery kernel is the kernel I use for Miui, but with the framebuffer set to 16-bit colour.

There's nothing specifically added to the kernel to make it work with the recovery other than that, but if you do manage to get it to boot on your pro then the display will be weird since its trying to output 16-bit colour to a 32-bit colour framebuffer.

It requires only a small modification to get the recovery working in 32-bit colour though, so if you do get it to boot then I can help you get it fixed up.

Ah thanks yeah I will need to change it. I'll try and get it done now, the new version of AnyKernel should be compatible both with the new and old versions of recovery.

Edit: Modified version of AnyKernel is on my github. I haven't tried it out but it should work fine on new and old recoveries.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
This recovery is already rock’in rolling in my machine.

Why when we use most of the option we have endless line of “NO” and then the option to execute in the middle of them.

Example:

No

No

NO

No

Wipe davilk

No

No

No

By the way, tried to flash new Ffranco kernel several times and in recovery it’s done successfully but when I enter the systems and go to settings it still showing the previous kernel...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JaymzBond:
its there to avoid mistakes i think

and to lead user to actually read whats written there
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
will not comment that....

Stockwell, been making tests and apparently is not just the last Francisco's kernel that isn't working with this new recovery. All previous ones don’t work either.

I have reverted to previous recovery until this is fixed or until I know if I'm doing something wrong
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Thanks stockwell, will try later.

What O_o ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] HCDR.Jacob:
Why mount /cust on /boot?

It has no functional purpose and just ****s it up.

"So after months of expecting Jacob to get us ROM manager support I got fed up and decided to do it myself. "

The lack of a ROM Manager release is due to me trying to avoid using the huawei init where I can, because it's full of stupid hacks.

Maybe after months of users complaining at me to do something I don't have to do, I might just get fed up and decide not to do it anymore.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is why I hate xda.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] swayjd:
Current recovery works perfectly for what I use it, any reason to change? Does this enable anything special? Reading the "what's different" I don't see any reason why but i could be missing something.

Edit, Have no idea who this guy Jacob is but from a few posts I've seen from him, all he does is whine. Dude buy a stuffed animal or something.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ValenteL:
POST 1 today

"If you want to go back to one of these backups from the new recovery you can go to the backup location, rename cust.img to boot.img, and also edit nandroid.md5 so that it says boot.img instead of cust.img. The backup will then restore but just be aware that it will also revert to the recovery you had when the backup was made."

For me is not pratical to change to 5.0.2.3. I have 12 Backups various. When I make a Restore I return to 4.0.1.5 and the renamed Recovery_backup.img on internal data storage are deleted. I continue whit 4.0.1.5.

Thanks.

........................................

EDIT: I made this and work (GENO method), no pink screen :

To install (you need root):

1. Backup /cust_backup/image/recovery.img

2. Download, extract and place the recovery.img into /cust_backup/image/

3. Done.

To go to recovery:

1. Power off

2. Hold Vol+ and Power buttons to power on (hold both buttons UNTIL you see the recovery)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
I changed it to /boot because first off I hate calling it /cust (it should be /cust_backup anyway), and second off because (unless I'm missing something, which I may well be) nandroid won't back it up without modification unless it's called boot. It doesn't **** anything up except for anykernel(which I fixed) because all of our rom install scripts explicitly mount mmcblk0p1 to /cust rather than just trying to mount cust and letting the fstab do the rest.

As for the rest of it, have a look at my github and my post. I'm not using the Huawei init and I'm not doing any modifications to the recovery source to achieve offmode charging. This port is fully functional and should be completely compatible with rom manager.

You're not obligated to do anything, I'm merely stating that ages ago you took money from people on this forum to buy a phone, and announced that you would be porting CM7 and getting official CWM recovery, so I expected rom manager support to come. Months later we have nothing, so I did it myself.

There's no reason to change to this really, it's more of a 'pre-release' to make sure it works without any problems. If/when koush merges it into rom manager though this will be the version that's incorporated so I needed to make sure it didn't have any huge problems I missed.

His new version should work now, AnyKernel (the method used to flash the kernel to the phone) needed a small modification to make it compatible with new and old version of recovery.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] theomni:
Has anyone used this stylus for the flyer? Is it compatible with the Flyer's software? OR will I have to buy the HTC Scribe pen for full compatibility?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] donec:
I have a flyer with the pen. I have tried other pens of the capacitive design and they all have worked to some extent. I have not received my Jot yet so I can't respond directly to how well it will work but I do know that there is not much chance it will work as well as the flyer pen and I know the Jot will not be able to take advantage of the special feartures built into the flyer for the flyer pen. However! there are several google play android apps that will provide most if not all the abilities of the built in apps on the flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] icevapor:
The jot will suck compared to the scribe. Its just a capacitive stylus (like using your finger) and nothing like the scribe.

If you want a scribe alternative, look at fugitsu and dells pens. Search this forum for info on what type of pen... they are around 20$ and work great.
