Does anyone know if its possible to remove basically the entire EVO housing and replace it? I tried to do that thing where you scape the sides of the evo to make it red, except i didnt take apart the phone and did a crappy job so my phone is now all scratched up on the sides. Is it possible to just buy and replace the back and front housing, and if so where can i find it? A video would be cool too, because im a total idiot when it comes to this stuff
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
Try wet sanding the scratches. And you could probably find the evolution parts if you search hard enough. It'll be expensive I bet so maybe just slap on a case

hey all,

i'm not allowed to ask in the related forum (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1057305) so i hope, someone here could help me. i flashed the destiny rom (2.0), flashed the 3gmod lite kernel and need to update to 2.1. but the known way via cwm in recovery mode does not work. destiny 2.1 is delivered in a rar file and after unrar-ing i got some files (.bat, exe) and don't know how to deal with them.

no, in the related thread (see link above) there is no detailed information about that :(

thanks for your help,

[HTC Rezound] smw420:
The Rezound has a very interesting Micro-USB port that seems to have the outer shape similar to Mini-USB, but with the Micro-USB guts. The cable that comes with the phone has a rectangular plug that seems a bit longer and fits perfectly into the phone's jack. In fact, its amazing... to get the phone connected to it, you have to push the connector in until it 'clicks' into place - very solid.

My wife's DINC suffers from a slutted-out socket that now barely works anymore due to the standard Micro-USB design that seems pretty fragile. Even though a standard Micro-USB fits into the Rezound's unique socket, it doesn't have the solid feel that the OEM version has.

Does anyone know what this newer style connector is called? I would like to find a couple more cables that are longer and feel that by using this type of connector, the Rezound's port should last the life of the phone.

Thanks in advance!!!

It's an MHL plug and there is more info in this thread

[HTC Rezound] smw420:
Thanks dude...
[HTC Rezound] NegativeOne13:
A normal microUSB cable will still get the job done. It's just put in the reverse as it is on the Incredible. The tabs need to be facing up. I got 3 OEM HTC microUSB cables off ebay for like $7 bucks shipped. And the odd shaped end is probably some proprietary HTC connector, same as they had with the HeroCDMA with the miniUSB.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
No, it's a micro-A USB receptacle that supports MHL. There's a difference.
[HTC Rezound] Jay A whY:
I would rather have the MHL cable... Feels more secure when plugged in..

Has anyone been able to find one on the internet or in store?

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
yeah the security of the MHL cable is worth not using a standard micro USB. for instance when you're using a car charger w/ a standard micro USB, the cable can tug a bit on the connector(depending on length of cable, placement of phone) and cause it to come loose & stop charging... but with the micro A USB(MHL) it's nice & secure and you don't have to worry about that happening.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Anybody have a part number for the OEM cable or best case know where to order it
[HTC Rezound] punman:
The really annoying thing about the cable that comes with the phone is that you can't use it with any other micro-A/B USB ports. They seem to have intentionally shipped a cable that you can only use with this device, even though the device itself will take any micro USB plug. Thanks, HTC! :mad:
[HTC Rezound] Mordecaidrake:
The incredible will charge with the shipped Rezound charger, granted it's got the same port. I've been using my Thunderbolt charger, kindle charger and now BB charger while at work. All get the job done.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
I did say that any other micro USB cable would work on the phone. I have a charger from every blackberry I ever owned, the Inc charger, and a couple miscellaneous cables lying around. It's just that the one that comes with the Rezound now has to go in its own special pile of cables (all by itself) because I can't use it with any other devices. Did not try with the old phone, though. Interesting that you say HTC's physical mods to the micro USB port are the same on the Inc and Rezound, yet the Rezound ships with a proprietary cable and my Inc came with a standard micro USB plug. I'll check when I get home.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
it does seem at least that yes, any microUSB cable will work with the Rezound for both charging it and connecting it to your PC.

for the most part, you really only need the MHL support if you plan on going through HDMI out, which you'd then need an MHL/HDMI adapter cable anyway.

the only benefit to the cable that comes with the Rezound is the "snug fit" bit. whereas, it'd be nice if they had a car charger with the exact same micro A USB end to it as i find that all standard micro USB car chargers aren't as snug and depending on phone placement/movement, the connection can get a bit 'loose' and sometime stop charging.

i used to use this motorola car charger but because of how the cable pulled, the connection would constantly come loose unless i used tape to hold it in place.
[HTC Rezound] Chirality:
It's not an MHL port. It's HTC's proprietary ExtMicro-USB port first seen with the HTC Flyer. An MHL port is a standard 5pin Micro-USB A/B port that detects when an MHL adapter is used, and uses those same 5 pins to support HDMI output. If you look at MHL ports on phones like the Evo 4G and Galaxy S II, they are indistinguishable physically from standard Micro-USB B ports. HTC's ExtMicro-USB is compatible with 5pin Micro-USB cables and 5pin MHL adapters. In fact, if you look at the HTC MHL adapter, it's shaped like a standard Micro-USB plug and only has 5 pins. What's different about ExtMicro-USB is that it has some extra pins compared to standard Micro-USB and MHL. I believe it has 6 extra pins, for a total of 11 pins. Those 6 extra pins are not used for MHL, for the reasons stated above. I'm not certain what those pins are used for, but if it's the same as the older ExtUSB (which is compatible with Mini-USB), then those extra pins are used for analog audio output, for use with stereo headsets, etc.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Why would they send you a cable for anything other then the phone #dumb.
[HTC Rezound] etjrowe:
The cable IS for the phone. You can use it to charge and sync. But the PORT can also be used to hookup an MHL adapter for HDMI output. That is IN ADDITION to charging or syncing via USB. The cable that comes with the phone just has a different connector yet is backwards compatable with any regular micro-USB cable.

I'm not sure why this is so confusing to people.

That being said...

Has anyone found a part number or where to buy cables with the non-standard connector?

I have plenty of micro-usb cables, and yes, they do work fine, but I am not confortable with how loose they are. WAY too much play. This especially worries me in the car.
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
Yea I have been trying to find this too. I was sent the Rezound as a CLNR for my Charge so I didn't even get the original USB cable that comes with the phone when you buy it. Sure the micro-usb cables work, but they feel pretty loose compared to other phones that are designed for micro-usb specifically.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
ok guys this is NOT an MHL cable. as said before there is nothing special at all about it besides that it is a snugger fit. any micro usb will work with MHL and you still need the converter.
[HTC Rezound] dabomb697:
It took some digging but here it is http://www.wirelessground.com/htcm400.html
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
thanks. I will have to check this one it out but HTC is kind of jerking our chain with the part number. Turns out they used to same part number on all their later model cables. I ordered 3 different HTC OEM cables and they do work for charging and data but none of them had the snug snap-in feel as the one that came with the phone.
[HTC Rezound] dabomb697:
I know what you mean. I put the part number in and the one that came with the Inc kept coming up. This one looks like it has the same shape as the one that comes with the Rezound.

I'm using MIUI 1.11.18 and Bricked 1.6 beta1. Just wanting some help to find the various radios for this ROM and phone. I can't seem to find any threads on it.
[HTC Sensation] adamgaltress:
Have you tried looking on your ROM's thread, often it is in the first post or two..
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
The radio you use should be customized for your specific location as people from all over the world use each ROM. Usually the ROM doesn't include a radio unless it specifically says that it does. Some ROMs will even recommend what radio to use in the first post, or what radio the developer tested the ROM on. At the end of the day you should try and see what radio and RIL work best for you. Look in the stickies for the development section to find the threads for future reference. Here they are so you can get started:

I am in Las Vegas on T-Mobile and I use the radio from the 1.45 RUU and the corresponding 2.2.0169 RIL. I've tried newer/different ones that weren't specifically for TMOUS, and I ended up coming back to the stock radio and RIL because of great reception and good battery usage. I'm just one guy though. Try a few and see what works best for you and your area.

Hope this helps :-)
[HTC Sensation] kurodoll:
and most importantly if your current radio works, don't change it

changing radio CAN cause a brick
