Aaaah, thank you! Now quick question, if i do this, I'll have a fully working and Market Updatable BusyBox/SuperUser?

thank you Playya, , i guess Deoxeded is the way to go :), now um.. is the rom easy to Mess up?.. I rememeber through my previous n00b Root experience, when the battery dies, or the phone restarts or battery pull, you get a huge load of FC's because everything got Corrupted... is this one of the chances, i got to take? or is it less now? or, what precausions should i take?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Exactly, use crawrj's odexed or deodexed with Root and Busybox and use pulled stock or LoSt kernel. Then you have your Wifi Tether, Root Explorer, Tegrak if you want overclock, still rocking odexed stock ROM here. Waiting for a ROM that is too good not to flash. My phone is running too perfect
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
nothing, it seems to be a problem of the kernel itself.

when doing the vol up + Power, it hangs where Cwm should pop up

If you have to downgrade, you can find some pre-rooted roms to flash so you can keep the stock rom.

Don't extract the file. You have to flash the .zip and not the boot.img. Just download the .zip, put it on the root of your sdcard and flash it.

Try to flash custom ROM,then try to flash kernel!
[HTC EVO 3D] snake3276120:
ill try, thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
yea, some of the kernel developers need to clarify their methods.

if you're coming from a brand new completely stock kernel, the anykernel type kernel .zip files will not work as the stock kernel has the first 256 bytes encrypted.

you can only flash a boot.img type custom kernel, which is included in some ROMs, on top of the stock signed/encrypted kernel.

once you've flashed an unencryptd/unsigned boot.img kernel, you can flash anything after that!

not sure the best way to educate the developers other than trial/error and user feedback. please post your recovery error message back in each developer's thread to help them be aware of the issue they're causing.

hope that helps!

[HTC EVO 3D] jo2jo:
hey, i had a evo3d running synergy rom and half the screen broke so i had insurance send me a new one.

Keep in mind my old, broke, phone still works (only half the screen works).

once i got my new evo3d in i rooted it, updated the radio with PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.1.1.zip and then flashed the latest synergy 3d ROM. once it stated up, it ran the auto hands-free activation.

After a delay it came up and said connection failed 1 of 5, and asked if i wanted to activate or if i was on the phone with a sprint tech and wanted to do it manually. When i press "Activate" it crashes with this message "vDM client has crashed..." and i have to click Force quit. Then im at the normal setup your android screens.

If i skip ahead the phone is not activated (plus my old one is still live, but even still vDM should not be crashing i would assume). So i then called sprint tech *2 and had a very knowledgeable lady and we tried several things, the main issue being ##823834## not working or doing anything (prob bc of rom).

I can press ##3282# and get the View / Edit, but even on that page, using the password (it asks for a password if you press "Edit") give to me on the phone by the sprint tech, did not accept. She said i should bring it in to the store and she was going to make me an appointment. I clearly didn't mention it was rooted.

What can i do to get this new rooted phone activated? should i re-flash back to stock sprint? any why is vDM crashing (Google and xda search gave very very little on vdm)?

thanks alot.

[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
Just run a stock rooted ROM. The problem is you may have run into that error 16 issue. They warn of it in the thread on rooting. Basically it kills the data connection for the phone (Which is needed for hands free activation) and you need to call in to a department and have them reset it on their end. However, since the phone was never previously activated, it seems you don't have this option?

It doesn't happen every time you root, didn't happen to me at all. But perhaps read some of those issues and see if the tech team can push the fix your way. I think Product Fred posted about it specifically referencing the department to call. If all else fails, it seems like you may need to unroot and exchange for another device. Then activate that one before rooting.
[HTC EVO 3D] jo2jo:
Ok great i'll try the stock rooted rom and report back, im no to clear on what zadias was trying to say in his post however.

when you said "see if the tech team can push the fix your way." do you mean a push from sprint's tech team? bc if so then the lady from sprint i spoke with earlier did push some kind command when we were trying to troubleshoot activating it.

tks again!
[HTC EVO 3D] jo2jo:
hi,

I have tried the stock sprint rom and even on that the same thing happens, once it boots up and the "Hands free activation" screen comes up, after about 1 minute it comes up and says the connection has failed and do i want to retry? (it says if you are on the phone with a live sprint tech to click cancel.) i have the option of activate and cancel. if i click activate i get this:

The application vDM Client (process com.redbend.vdmc)) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.

(then i must click force close)

Anyone have any input or ideas? im fully without a phone now as my others screen has stopped working fully.

It says download the stock rom zip which it links to a 400mb file, it then says:

In hboot mode the phone will scan the SD card with the image. Once it finds it will ask you if you want to update. Press "Power" to update.

(to me that sounds like how u flash a radio with a small 4mb zip file like team recovery file you rename to PG186.zip, so why are they linking to a 400mb rom file?)

to me that is how you flash a radio with a small PG186.zip file not a 300mb ROM file, so im confused on that, do i want to choose the zip to flash and flash that 300mb rom (which i have already done in the post 2 above this) or do i rename this 300mb file to PG186.zip so that the fastboot white screen AUTOMATICALY asks me if i want to update this file (flash a radio is what i understand this to be).

Please help guys, i have no phone and really stuck.

Ok thats the problem if ur going to activate a phone with sprint u need to have the old phone and the new phone off and then call them from another phone so they can activate the new esn..thats why when they try the ##3282 the password didnt work on the new phone cause the password they have is for the old phobe so fisrt call them activate the new phone and then the handsfree is going to the rest....but remeber dont use either the old phone or new phone to call them.

Hey guys, Im running I think EC01 miui 1.9.2, and I had it like this for quite some time now and I loved the rom it was great, but until recently my phone kept giving me blank sd card notification, so I formatted it a few times every time it gave me it, but about 2 days ago after the last format it completely ate my card and now it just keeps giving me damaged card nofication. It wont format anymore, and I cant format in recovery either, I was wondering if I should go back to stock and see if that works or is my sd completely fried. Would going back to stock fix this or should i just get a new card? also should I stay with ec01 for miui?

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OhioYJ:
DL01 is the bone stock one that you can OTA back up to current if you want. The ED05 odin package floating around works too, the only difference between it an OTA is it won't reflash recovery every boot. If you go all the way back to DL01 you'll still need to update the modem to use any current roms.

Going back to stock isn't going to make your SD card work though. Odds are extremely high your SD card is dead.

dl09 worked for best for me to do a clean install...then you can odin or flash back to whatever. I would pass on ota, that takes way too long imo.

As far as i know, the hardware on European and US WIFI only Xooms is exactly the same. I have seen many people here flashing US WIFI only Xoom software on European WIFI only Xooms without any problems. They even get official US updates after that.

So if you have a WIFI only Xoom then i would suggest you to flash US software on it and then root it. Search the forums, i'm sure you will find a lot of topics about this.

If you have a European 3G Xoom then thats another story, then you can brick your 3G radio if you flash US software.
[HTC EVO 3D] Albert Poon:
First of all I really appreciate all devs there who make our devices better. However, I would like too see more KERNEL and MOD release over a whole ROM, for example an OC KERNEL, a Beats MOD, an Amaze camera MOD, an SD card TWEAK,... rather than a whole ROM having its own app collection and tweaks because, some stock apps might be useless, they could be useful for certain people. I would rather apply MOD or TWEAKS one by one to better fit my usage.

Just my two cents
[HTC EVO 3D] thre3aces:
Yes we all want that. It's much easier said than done. I've tried to make a ROM for my milestone and I flopped. Having a load of tweaks running around won't work. U are bound to hit compatibility issues
