Its simple really. Get any working Sprint phone, activate it on your line. Add insurance when you activate it. Use the phone for a day or two, send/receive texts, calls and data. Then swap your Evo back on.

The insurance is tied to your line, not the phone itself. Use the Evo for a day or two. Again, show that it works. Send/receive calls, data etc. Then you can take it in for service/repair etc.

Insurance fraud.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB112:
Not necessarily, more like a work around. You activated insurance on your line and later switched handsets. Insurance is for your line/account, not the handset itself. Anyone who enrolls in TEP when they offer open enrollment is potentially committing fraud if this is the case.

Anyone have one of these yet? If so, how is the fit around the phone? This is a case I'm considering. My only real beef with most of the s2 cases are either they don't fit snugly around the small part that seperates between the bezel and the glass, and they all seem to be major lint magnets.

Hi people, I have two problems: first my HTC Touch Pro take a long minutes (4,5,6) to lock GPS signal; second after lock the signal when I star a navigation I observe a GPS lag (200 meters). I read this problems at the forum, but there are so many answers , Im so confused...

This is my HTC Touch Pro Settings:

HTC Touch Pro

ROM version: 1.90.170.6 WWE

ROM date: 08/27/08

Radio Version: 1.02.25.19

Protocol version: 52.33.25.17U

I used Tomtom version.7.918 (9193)

If someone have a similar HTC Touch Pro please tell me what solutions you find for this problems.

Thank you very much.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kockyguitarrockr:
You should probably think about upgrading that old ROM. but anyways.

Are you using quick gps? Get it

find download install the cab and see if that helps

otherwise switch ROMs because most of the newest ROMs have these things optimized
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] heliooliveira:
Thank you for your help.

Yes, I'm using quick gps.

Probably with a newest ROM, this situation should be better.

I am a newbie in these wanderings, what ROM should I install?

[HD Mini General] IYIehdi:
I know that there are lots of similar topics here, but as far as I searched no one could solve my problem.

I have a HTC HD mini registered for Inidia but I wanna install a GCC (Arabic) Rom on it.

I already have tested "DFT_SSPL_MINI" with official and shipped Roms and also the method "Update from SD memory card" but after each one I ended up with the Error:294 invalid vendor ID.

Does anybody know the solution? I saw some guys with similar problem had successfully changed their Roms by "DFT_SSPL_MINI" but I don't know what is wrong with my phone.
[HD Mini General] IYIehdi:
Still no reply?:(
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
is your phone carrier locked?( I guess so...)
[HD Mini General] IYIehdi:
How can I find that? My phone carrier is MTN

Does it really a matter of phone carrier? I thought it should be due to a software issue of my phone.
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
If you bought the phone from a GSM provider and you enagaged in a monthly subscription that means your phone is carrier locked and you can update the ROM only from their site!

Yes,it does matter since the phones will have CID(Carrier ID) locked!

Example:

"CID: Carrier Id - commonly used in the form `CID-Unlocking`. If you purchase your phone (example) from Qtek (Qtek is the 'carrier'), your phone will only accept Qtek ROMs (the carrier's ROMs). If you want to flash ROMs from other carrier, you'll need to CID-unlock your phone, so that your phone will accept other ROMs. Note: In general, the phrase 'unlock your phone' usually refers to SIM-unlock, not CID unlock."
[HD Mini General] IYIehdi:
Thank you for the information

But how to CID unlock? as I said in my above post I've already used the DFT_SSPL but with no result and getting the same error. Some guys say that the sspl ignores CID check and thus you can flash a custom rom on your phone but for me it didn't have any benefits.

Do you have any other ideas for me?
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
then u better ask who says that,i don't buy phones from carriers so i don't know much
[HD Mini General] IYIehdi:
you know guys, in where i live, when you decide to buy a phone you should only go to a shopping center and choose something looking good and affordable and nobody cares about the carriers, cause there is no carrier in there, and after buying you'll be encountered it is merely a garbage. It's confusing for me, I paid a lot of money for a phone and there is no way to change the software, why? It's only a software, I have the hardware in my hand. why is it such a complicated problem for hackers who hack everything?
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
well..if you or nobody from your country doesn't care about the carriers then live with the consequences :p

Windows Mobile is an OS,not a software :) and no,it is not complicated for hackers or developers to unlock this,they are just not interested in this phone.

there are tools which unlocks CID,try www.google.com or xda search function for further references.
[HD Mini General] munjeni:
only solution is to make gold card and install completely rom (including radio), but to do an gold card you must to buy revskills software -> http://revskills.de

With dft sspl you are not able to install radio becouse that feature is disabled for possibly device brick but with gold card you are abble installing everything!

Curently I testing an s-off and super cid for htc hd2 and I have success in super ciding hd2 but some problems in s-offing (it go to s-off but I am lost in nand chip becouse flashing is not possible after s-off) but I think photon and hd2 have something similar about that feature and if I done it for hd2 I will try to explain how to do it for photon... I think I will done it after we have working android nand or maybe if you found jtag pins for photon (I will try to do it by jtag)
[HD Mini General] IYIehdi:
Thanks Munjeni, for your helpful answer. I hope you to be succeed. If you came up with any results please keep me informed.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilporro:
Oke, so i have a problem with my HTC Wildfire. I decided to root it today and put cyanogenmod 7 on it. I found a guide on how to do this, followed it and it all worked fine.

When CM7 was running, I didn't really like the experience. It seemed slow and too buggy for my liking. Therefore i wanted to recover the previous state my phone was in. To do this, i tried to recover the back-up i had made with rom-manager.

However, the recovery didn't work. It said it did, but then the phone just freezed on the standard boot screen (showing the green HTC letters) Since then I haven't been able to get past this.

I tried recovering again from the bootloader; i've tried the factory reset; i've tried an RUU thing i found from froyo, and the result has always been the same. Nothing. The recovery and factory reset were reported to have been successful, but after it i still couldn't get past the boot screen. The RUU thing didn't work, it shows an 'unknown error' ([155])

So, does anyone know how i can fix this? At this point i don't really care what is my UI, whether it's the stock android; sense; or some ROM. As long as i can use my phone again.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

The last time i installed the rom, i did it with rom-manager, and didn't download any files myself (only via the app)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery (The procedure is given in the post I linked above. Press Vol Down + Power, Navigate to Recovery, Press Power Button..... and so on). Once it's done, connect your Wildfire to your laptop, then browse to "Mounts and Storage" in Clockworkmod, and select "Mount USB Storage". Now, you will be able to access your SDCard normally as it was before.

Should I not worry about it considering this is a different phone than the guide is for? Also, can I just edit my smali file, save it, re-odex it and overwrite the original with the new one?

Hi everyone,

I got a branded Desire S (Vodafone Portugal) and I would like to change its CID in order to turn it unbranded. I have tried the fast boot method of "fastboot oem writecid HTC__001" and it gives me back an error as "COMMAND ERROR!!!" with no real specification of what error it is.

Is there a way that i can change the CID?

You can just create a GoldCard and make it work, without root or S-Off.

Earlier today I created a GoldCard and upgraded my DS using the European RUU and I'm S-ON & Unrooted.

Yes I know that works I have a Goldcard. The thing here is that I would like the phone to be completely unbranded without the need os special cards so in case i want to sell it or send it to warranty it won't be noticed that i changed something there. So if there is a way to re write de CID it would be good.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002506

That's what I did :)
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Just to answer your question:

(I may need to be corrected on this one)

Based on my observation and experimentation. The CID that you are trying to change, or the CID that the RUU is checking is actually on the build.prop on your phone.

ro.aa.maincid

But there are two checks that I've observed. Even though you changed the maincid, the corresponding cwkey should be changed accordingly.

cwkey created on your phone corresponds on what is on the build.prop and I believe is also being checked by RUUs.

And maybe just to be on the safe side, RUUs do check what is on your build.prop. If they are not what your RUU wants, it will not push through. Hence, you need a GoldCard.

I myself don't exactly, by codes, know how the GoldCard bypasses the checks. All I do know, is that it works.
[HTC Desire S] smash_07:
So what that means is the phone has to stay branded? There is no way that we can fully unbrand the phone by changing the CID?

And after we use the Goldcard what happens to the CID of the phone?
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
The goldcard does not alter the CID. It just tells the bootloader to ignore the CID check when running a RUU.

One way to alter the CID is to XTC clip the phone.
[HTC Desire S] smash_07:
Well i ended up doing what you all suggested and flashed the RUU with the 2.10 european rom with the goldcard in it.

But something went wrong and my Desire S is in a strange situation. For some reason the Goldcard did not work like the first time and gave me a CID error. But it flashed the hboot 2.00.0002 but retained the 1.28 rom i had installed on it. I have used the HTCDev method to unlock the bootloader but everytime i try to flash the 1.28 RUU again (to flash the old hboot again) it gives me an "unknown error" that is actually a security error.

Is there a way to get the old hboot back?

How important is battery calibration using the apps in the market? This whole past week has been a flashing frenzy I'm sure for many of you, without a real break to calibrate battery before you flashed the next newest release.

I've lasted the same rough battery life without wiping batt stats, using a battery calibration app or cycling to 0% and all seems fine, so I'm wondering what the importance of it is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
Just use the phone and charge the battery as needed. These batteries don't need calibrated. I have 3 and charge them all differently and they all get the same type of life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
But when you flash a rom be sure to give it time like 2-3 days before you judge battery life sometimes old battery stat files stick after flashing so make sure you calibrate these batteries as least once a month.

Yes u should calibrate.. for example using stock roms for weeks I never calibrated.. got 16 hours. Flashed juggernot and beast mod got the same battery life because I didn't calibrate.. after running beast for 2 days I did my first calibration and a day later I was pushing 30 hours on one charge.

After u flash a new rom or kernel you should calibrate

Screw calibrating and screw wiping battery stats. Use your phone as you normally do and battery life will maximize on its own with a couple charge cycles anyways. If you have battery life issues its much more likely to be an application, rom or kernel issue.... when all else fails then look to calibration or wiping of battery stats.

If you don't agree then feel free to waste your time calibrating every time you flash a new rom. :)
