Hi there)

I tried to flash stock unrooted 4.53 firmware from sd card on my EVO(unrooted)

and in progress device stucked on section SYSTEM. After sitting and watching on this photoframe an hour, i've pulled the battery down. PhotoFrame(Supersonic) turned into brick. The Brick refused to turn on or charge.

So i've connected JTAG and flashed bootloader. Now phone turns on and catch's up by PC. HBOOT works, but nothing else don't work, screen is just blank white, also it's charging. and i can't get in bootloader menu. I've tried to flash device using PC(via executable file) but firmware is to old, is there any 4.54 stock ruu firmware in executable file for windows ? Or i should try something else ? help plz sory for langgguage)

Keep in mind you need to flash the ruu to match the bootloader version.

This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.

We have this stock, unrooted EVO Shift here where I work. It has stopped receiving Gmail notifications.

We thought we had it fixed, but apparently not. Is there any fix for this type of issue on this phone?

Rooting is not an option, this phone belongs to the local Intermediate School District Tech Department.

Any help would be great!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Well the first thing you should check is make sure you don't have an app installed that is causing the issue. What was the last app you installed before the issue started? Also make sure your settings are correct for notifications. Unrooted, and not an option to root cuts down the options. As a last resort you can do a Factory reset. Back up your contacts, then factory reset. Then just let it settle before you add apps. Then make sure you add the one at a time and watch for conflicts with Gmail. Hope that helps :)

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICODAN:
I disagree with prboy.

1) Go to settings -> accounts + sync -> google -> make sure gmail is checked. Now go back one screen and go to step 2.

2) Make sure background data is on and auto sync is on.

3) Open GMail and hit menu -> refresh

4)If this does not fix the problem go to manage applications -> GMail clear cache, clear data, repeat step 3.

5) If this does not fix the problem open market -> menu -> my apps and see if there is an update for GMail. Install it. If this does not fix the problem go through steps 1 2 3 and 4 again.

6) Open ROM manager and hit fix permissions and repeat step 4 and then go back to step 3. (for rooted users only).

If none of these steps work call Sprint or whoever your provider is.

This will also help with messages stuck in the "sending" state. It's a known bug.

Let me know if you still have issues after doing this.

[General Questions and Answers] neverone:
hi there! i am new to this forum as registered member, but i've been often here in the previous months.

now i have a problem.

i have made an s-off and installed cyanogenmod a couple of months ago. the version was definetly 7 but i can't remember which one. back then i had problems with wifi and gps, none worked, but i googled it, and found that flashing the radio via clockworkmod helps. i used one of those standard versions of radio found on cynogenmod webpage. the versions 3.35.15.31, 3.35.19.25 and 3.35.20.10

and that solution not only made wifi and gps work again, but it made gps work better, it took total of 2 minutes to find satellites and get a good fix.

but two days ago i updated my cyanogenmod to 7.1.0.1-buzz and the problem appeared again. so, ok, i'll flash the radio again.

the first problem was the clockworkmot, since i upgraded it to ver 3, but i managed to downgrade it via rom manager and install the radio drivers (not sure if "driver" is a good term for it). but it helped only partially.

so i tried all three possible radio drivers, but all i managed is to make the gps work. it works fine, but when i try to connect to a network it gets stuck at "obtaining ip address", then it says "disabled" and tries to connect once again. and that goes in circle constantly!

i tried to google it, and search in this forum and several others, but i cant find the solution. always before i install the radio drivers i wipe the dalvik cache, but that doesn't help either. i tried it via rom manager, by rebooting into clockworkmod, i even tried to reset the phone, then wiping dalvik and then flashing radio, but that doesn't help either... does anybody have any idea how to fix my broken wifi? any help would be appreciated! thanks in advance!

p.s. should you need any info regarding my phone, just ask! :)

I have exactly the same thing. HELP US
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TheMadxtremist:
So , is there any way of porting honeycomb or the icecream sandwich on our kaisers ?

If yes , then please tell me

If not , then also tell me :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jholtom:
Maybe

they've got a semi port of honeycomb on wildfire and their device has almost identical specs to ours except its newer and better. Ive been able to successfully boot all of the roms I've tried with minimal editing (remove boot.img edit init.rc and build.prop) and it works 9/10 times.

So if they get some ICS love we can maybe get a little action from them. Ive been able to get Froyo sense from them so their is a small but hopeful/good chance it could work

EDIT:

Checked in their forum and they've got some alphas that boot with no touchscreen I might try and do the conversion to our rom type and give you guys something to try out
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hom.hom:
Is there a possiblity that you can point to a source where we can find this edits that need to be made to these builds of the wildfire or could you yourself give the instructions?

**Is it also usefull to look at the hero and G1 ports since these also seem to be similar to the HTC Kaiser?**
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TheMadxtremist:
hmmm......

and i wanna ask the same thing as hom.hom :/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PoXFreak:
I had a very small amount of success porting honeycomb, but due to hardware limitations (memory, CPU and build size limits specifically), I ran out of interest.

Honestly, I don't see why anyone would want to push the limits much further than the current 2.3.5 Gingerbread CM build that Scoot posted some months ago.

IMHO, that build pushes the limits of build size and stability, mostly due to the limitations of CPU speed and memory allocation.

Just sayin...
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
Hi guys, Once again this guide thread comes from the mixture of everyone suggestions and ideas to make your phone S-ON with shipped ROM for warranty!

Collected the following info from the thread, Not my own idea!

First install the ADB and SDK tools and folders, mainly install the Fastboot!

If u dont have fastboot enabled see this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot and this http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/21534/how-to-install-adb-and-fastboot-on-your-windows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/

First Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033922 and install the shipped ROM which u had before .

Use this method http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18079795&postcount=1 to install the ROM, But this alone wont get you s-on when you do the process from the above link, Your phone will be Physically S-On but in the bootloader it will still show you s-off!

To change the bootloader to s-on then you need to follow the steps below,

1 . Now download this file from http://alpharev.nl/vivo_downgrade.img

2 . You should enable USB debugging mode, Turn your phone into FastBoot by unchecking the fastboot option in power settings

3 . Now your device will be switched off Remove your battery and insert it again.

4 . Now press (VOL DOWN + POWER Button) You will go into bootloader menu.

5 . When you boot into HBOOT, The first option is FASTBOOT. You select the menu options using the Volume Up/Down key. Once you select FASTBOOT menu, press the Power Button and it will take you to the FASTBOOT menu.

6 . Plug your USB cable in and the screen should change to FASTBOOT USB. Then on your PC, open a CMD window and change to the directory where you have installed the Android SDK tools, such adb.exe, fastboot.exe, etc. In the CMD window you would type the command:

fastboot flash hboot vivo_downgrade.img

7 . Wait for sometime, Then you would type the next command:

fastboot reboot-bootloader

8 . Now this is a tricky step, You should Select and open the ROM package you downloaded (But dont install) go to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Temp and at last folder find rom.zip

9 . You need to open the ROM.zip file and extract the file HBOOT.img from it and copy it to the same directory as the vivo_downgrade.img. Then you would type the command

fastboot flash hboot HBOOT.img

10 . Now again, wait for sometime type the next command:

fastboot reboot-bootloader

That's it you are back to s-on with stock !!!

You may check this by booting your device into BOOTLOADER , If it shows S-on, that's all You Performed the steps correctly!

If you are stuck at SECURITY WARNING BOOTLOADER because of missing some steps, Go to this following thread

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18706124&postcount=6

If you have a faulty USB port shake the usb cable it should definitely work at some angel, worked for me!

[HTC Incredible S] lolkasasa:

[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
now s-off ur device via revolutionary again and install a custom rom , then follow the whole process a posted in the main thread, it should definitely work for your hboot!
[HTC Incredible S] sathishmk0280:
Hi Santhosh, Thanks for the detailed steps for guys like me.

I have S-off and Revolutionary recovery and nik's custom rom, i would like to go back to stock rom to get the new update. But do now how to go.

One more thing is you have mentioned that we have to download the shipped rom. But i am not sure which file i have to download and execute it .I am from india and very very newbie here.

Please help me how should i go back to the custom rom and with S-On in order to receive the OTA Update from HTC
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
hI SATISH

if u revert back to s-on to update the latest OTA you cannot s-off ur device again because it comes with a newer bootloader.. To know which RUU you should install, then check with fastboot getvar all to know your mainver

Read my full thread and also this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16684717&postcount=38

Everything is inside those two threads .. just sit and read .. You will figure it out!
[HTC Incredible S] sathishmk0280:
Hi Santosh,

Thank you for the update, I had infact done the S-on ( dont know how i managed to do it, i was having the OTA update somewhere, and i run it as PG32IMG.zip and then flashed the HBOOT image file as you have mentioned and voila the S_ON is back. ).

I know there is no option for S_off again, but i have my bet on you dev's.

Is the update for 2.3.5 is released for indian IS user's or any expected date.?

Waiting to see how the performance.
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
Ya it's worldwide we the indian users will get the OTA in couple of days.. Can you please tell your software number.. :o

[HTC Incredible S] djrickez:
maybe im stupid, but i cannot finish step 6. i both installed the sdk and ADB, but how the hell do i manage to run the command, and where?

this: open a CMD window and change to the directory where you have installed the Android SDK tools, such adb.exe, fastboot.exe, etc. In the CMD window you would type the command:

fastboot flash hboot vivo_downgrade.img

is the part what i dont understand, who can give me a detailled description? i downloaded the file, and i am in fastboot usb, what next?

the command, do i have to run it in cmd when the phone is on or in hboot usb? and what is the exact command to get it?
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
U hav to run the command when the phone is in fastboot..

To check if fastboot works for you

Type "fastboot devices" in CMD and see if ur device name appear .. if not u have not properly installed fastboot

Do you need to have the same radio that was shipped with your phone. if you upgraded do you need to downgrade?

Also I still don't understand how you pick the right ruu?
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
ya u need to downgrade! You can pick ur RUU by comparing the mainver!
[HTC Incredible S] sathishmk0280:
HI Santhosh,

Just curious, i have made my S-on using your guide. Before i was using the custom rom of nik2.5.

What i did was, i was having a backup of my stock rom, I flashed it once again.

Then I used the fastboot option to downgrade the HBOOT image. and now S-ON is there.

Are the above steps are correct?

Also while using the nik 2.5 trinity, i upgraded the radio. Do i need to downgrade it in order to get the new OTA update. I am not sure what is the stock radio.

If i have to downgrade the radio , how should i do it? Is there any procedure for it?

Please help me.
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
Ya you have to downgrade your radio to which you had first!

Because the new OTA comes with a new radio!
[HTC Incredible S] sathishmk0280:
How to downgrade. Just flash the radio.img the same way we did for HBOOT.img?
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
follow this
[HTC Incredible S] sathishmk0280:
It Seems like again i have to make my mobile S-off in order to flash the radio. But not able to find the RUU for my main version "

mainver: 2.12.720.5". However i have the OTA update for 2.3.3 zip file and can i use the radio.img to downgrade my radio?

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

Well i tried with the radio.img in the Gingerbread OTA update and follow the link you gave.

When i tried to run this command : "adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG32IMG.zip", i got the error "Permission Denied". But still i went on with the last command and i believe my radio is downgraded to "20.2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M" . I believe i have done it rightly.

Hopefully i will receive the Sense 3.0 and android 2.3.5 update . :)

Any idea when it will be for India?

Anyway, Thanks man.
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
glad to hear.. you could have stayed with s-off all our devs are working to bring a stable ICS ... u r missing the taste of it..
[HTC Incredible S] maextra7:
Firstly just want say a huge thanks for posting the above!

Everything work fabulously for me (HTC Incredible S) until I got to the having to find the HBOOT.img. I installed the stock rom for Europe (Denmark) and it reset the phone perfectly but did still say S-OFF.

So the RUU? I downloaded did work, and the fastboot flash hboot vivo_downgrade.img bit worked, but the rom.zip just isn't in the Temp folder so I am at a loss as to how to find my HBOOT.img as you describe. Any suggestions?

Thank you again

Mel:eek:
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
You have to run the .exe file, But u should not install just minimize it and if you are on Windows 7 its located in "C:\Users\{Your_User_Name}\AppData\Local\Temp" and on Windows XP its in "C:\Documents and Settings\{Your_User_Name}\Applications Data\Local Settings\Temp"

Use the windows search function in "Temp" folder or dig deep into sub folders to find "rom.zip" file. It'll be around ~250MB in size.

You can find the hboot.img in the rom.zip folder!!

Now continue from step 9 from the original post

Hope it works! try it and let me know!
[HTC Incredible S] sathishmk0280:
I just wanted to taste the new sense rom, still waiting for the update as i post this.

I believe that devs has already cracked the HBOOT V2 which comes with the new rom for S-Off.

So i hope i can S-OFF again. :)
[HTC Incredible S] maextra7:
I looked there for the rom file and its just not there, the only RUU I could find as the link posted didn't work for me was one that required me to put a PG32IMG.zip file on my SD card and then flash it through that way. Trying to use that through Windows produced no results, so I am guessing that is why there is no file in my temp folder.

Is there any other way for me to get the HBOOT.img ?

Thanks again for your help :)

revolutionary 6.13.1002.

Hi

I hava a question about mainware and roms.

would it be posseble to do like this post from Juffari said

"open the hboot.img file with a text editor; in the first line you can find many strange symbols, and after that there will be a string of numbers (that is the hboot version).

you have to know what version of hboot have you currently on your phone (if you used the revolutionary tool, it will be probably 6.13.1002) and simply change the hboot.img string so that the release number is higher (than the modded hboot; i.e. you can write 7.09.0000)."

at the first step when uppgradng rom to RUU.

and when downgrading replace the hboot.img whit the unchanged and the nummmber will be the last ? "2.0.0000"

thanks for a good guide

Whoaw! This is what i was looking for :D Good work. :)

also tried to flash hboot from rom.zip, same error.

bootloader says s-on after flashing ruu, am i s-on?
[HTC Incredible S] OlivT6:
Hi,

I tried theses instruction to get back S-ON.

When the phone is on normally, ADB detect it.

But when I'm in Fastboot USB mode, ADB can't see it. That's why I can't executes commands needed.

Am I missing a step ?

Thank you for this guide, which gives me hope....

Edit: That's okay, fyi, it's "fastboot devices" which can detect you device. (logical...)
