I would have done this at first but, before using the Anroid Flasher app, I did not have access to cwm. I have since tried formatting the phone in cwm and installing from sd card but again, it just hangs after the splash screen. I also downloaded Bulletproof 1.4 to see if applying a Sense ROM had any effect - but again it stalled after the splash.

Yeah your correct Eddy, as my post above states, I turned S-OFF - got a bit stuck and then seen the ANdroid Flasher programme. I thought, smashing problem solved.

You are correct, I do need to do some more reading with the looks of it. On the desire, a programme did all the stuff for you. It seemed to me that the Android flasher was the same.

Where to start reading, I'm a bit unsure as I have a phone which is not booting. I'm not looking for everyone to do all the work for me, but if someone could give me a gentle push where to start in order to get this working again that would be great.

Meanwhile I'll do as you say Eddy and do some more reading.
[HTC Sensation] dumbmayhem:
Thanks everyone for your help. I got it sorted by flashing CWM manually this time and it flashed the ROMS so that they would work. Must have been flashing them wrong somehow but still managing it without errors.

Anyway, again I appreciate you taking the time to help.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Thanks to spjetrovic we have the update.zip for the GB update for your use now

http://www.multiupload.com/HAG3RFTBY6

1. Follow imnuts instructions for preparing for OTA found here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10202-how-to-prepare-for-the-gb-ota/

2. place file on root of SD card and rename to update.zip

3. boot to stock recovery and select apply update.zip from sd card

It takes a while to complete, so be patient. Make sure you have plenty of battery.

ps. No one is responsible for what you do to your phone except you. This has been tested by at least a dozen people in IRC and works flawlessly when you follow the directions.

pss. this build is 4 days newer than "EP4P" regardless of what the numbering scheme may be.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GrainOsand:
This belongs in the dev section, also what is included? ROM, KERNEL, RADIO?
[Verizon Droid Charge] syntrix:
Very cool! Downloading :D

edit: guessing the keyword here is "STOCK RECOVERY" :D :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] GrainOsand:
Almost 4got, thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
GOS,

It is the OTA update that will roll out later next week. It contains all the changes from EE4 to EP4 rom/kernel/recovery/ect.. It is just changes, by no way a stand-alone flash.

And I didn't post in Development, because I didn't develop it. It can be moved if the mods think it belongs there.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
Did any of you successfully rooted this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Just in case no one completely reads the post by Imnuts because I know most people don't.....

You HAVE to flash imoseyon's kernel or you recovery will NOT stick!
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Sure, just flash CWM then Imoseyon's kernel and you are rooted
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
How do you flash Imo's kernel if my recovery doesn't stick, and can't get into recovery?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
you can't let the phone boot after you flash CWM. unselect auto-reboot and then boot straight to recovery after flash
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Here are my instructions for getting all this to work:

BEFORE YOU ODIN BACK TO EE4, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE SU FLASHABLE ZIP, THE OTA UPDATE AND IMOSEYON'S KERNEL ON YOUR SDCARD!

Make sure the update file is renamed to "update" and that it's on the root of your sdcard. (not in any folders or anything)

Odin back to EE4. Reboot normally.

Turn the phone off, then reboot into Stock Recovery and run the update.

Once the update finishes and the phone boots regularly. Reboot into Download Mode and plug the phone into the computer.

Start Odin, Uncheck "Auto Reboot", select PDA, NOT PHONE!

Click on the PDA tab and find your recovery file then click "start."

Once it is done and you see the word "PASS" on Odin, unplug the usb cable and press down all three buttons to boot into recovery (volume up, home, power)

Once in recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, mount /system and flash the SU flashable zip.

Go back and wipe cache and dalvik again, mount /system again and flash the kernel.

After that, your recovery will stick and you're good to go. You are now rooted and running on EP4D.
[Verizon Droid Charge] billygoat555:
Sorry for the dumb question but after searching, I can't find the answer; how do I access the stock recovery?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Vol.up+ home+ power

release power when you see the samsung logo. release the other two a few seconds after
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Nevermind lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] WildH:
If I flashed the unrooted, ep4p leak from last month, will I have to flash back to ee4 to install or recieve the official new update?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Endless2232:
Yes sir. ... ...
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
You will only get this OTA or be able to use this update if you are on stock, unrooted EE4. You can't get there from any other point.

You can also wait a bit (probably less than a week) and someone will publish full Odins of EP4D. I'm personally not leaving EP4P until we have a deodexed version of EP4D and some themes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] WildH:
Ah hell..that is a pain in the ass. I'll wait to see if they fixed the crackling on incoming calls before I go through the hassel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
I love how fast we hop on these leaks and officials lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] BillLee3:
Where do you get the proper "SU flashable zip"?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Btw is the poop gone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Right here: http://www.multiupload.com/V6R1RZJPXV

Nope, still **** brown.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
It is reportedly the same as the recent GB leaks. Some widget changes and a little green in a couple of places. Otherwise, as poopy as ever.
[Verizon Droid Charge] WildH:
Yeah id like to meet the jackass who came up with that color scheme. Funny thing is they have had multiple opportunities to change it and they don't....wtf.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Its ridiculous they made it that color. Thank goodness I bought It over faith it was going to be themed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BillLee3:
Is it right for the update to start off with a progress bar and then switch to an icon with an exclamation point and a little android?
[Verizon Droid Charge] WildH:
"He called the **** poop!" - Billy Madison
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
no. you either had a corrupt download or didn't follow the instructions.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BillLee3:
I was following spc_hicks09's instructions. However, imnut's post linked by OP says to boot all the way and setup phone before your are "ready to accept OTA". Tried adding that before booting into stock recovery and it worked. Think it was the formatting going on in the middle of the first full boot of EE4. YMMV.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Imnuts post is if you're accepting the OTA being pushed to your phone. Not if you're installing the leak.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BillLee3:
Well, like I said, ymmv.

But when I odin'd a full EE4 unto the phone it goes through the Samsung logo, then a format cycle, then the Samsung logo then android boot. I think it needed to go through that format cycle because it did not work the first time and it appears to be working this time (albeit very slowly). I'm using the same update.zip file on the sdcard.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lenny311:
just updated, i thought this version was 2.3.5, but in my about phone it is reading 2.3.6
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
When installing the leaked OTA. My method is the absolute only way it will work until someone makes a flashable zip. I know this because i spent 6 hours trying every way possible to do it. Even using the "update from sdcard" option in CWR does not work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BillLee3:
Hey, I'm not arguing that you weren't basically right. I'm saying in my case I had to let EE4 boot once first. Furthermore, I did not have to mount system each time (it was already mounted upon boot).

Regardless of that, your instructions DID allow me to get it to work and I probably wouldn't have figured it out without the help. Thanks for writing up what you did.

Now I just gotta debloat the thing and restore all my apps. Cool!
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Lol I said in my instructions to reboot normally after using Odin to go back to EE4. Glad you got it working!
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Sorry I was only trying to quote 1 line lol.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jmjohnson1717:
After updating to this it appears that the static bursts while on the phone problem is fixed. Just got off a phone call that lasted 35 minutes and had no problem.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
I was on stock EE4B with no root and downloaded this update, renamed to update.zip and used stock recovery to install. Everything seems to have worked well. (I do not have root using this method.)

So if you are just looking to update early without root, a computer is not required.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TELL ME ITS NOT POOP AND PUMPKIN COLORED

[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Sure is!
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
It IS required if you're not on EE4.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
WTF SAMSUNG

damnit lol

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] jarrettv:
Same here, was stock and didn't do anything special. No need to wipe/clear etc.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
It is mostly. They have rethemed some menus with grey and black and the pull down shade has the grey and green settings buttons. Overall it feels good but I am away from 4G so I haven't been able to do a real network test yet. I did run in to some sluggish behavior in the gallery app this morning.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Ok I swore I wouldnt ask any stupid questions but sorry to say I must or I have to re read the thread. I went back to ee4, took the file that was renamed update.zip on sd card, booted to stock recovery and when I select update.zip it doesnt work. Re download the file? Gonna go back at read the thread. I dont want

root etc. Just update. ok lol update.zip needs to be on card then return to ee4.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
If you are using win7 make sure that the file extentions aren't hidden, otherwise you end up with update.zip.zip
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Thats the mistake i made lol silly things we forget
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Ok well now Im trying to flash stock ee4 again and it fails every time. It shows a phone to computer link? Can I go back to ed2,than ee4 , then use the update.zip?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Yes but thats a lot of work bro, try the pit file with ee4. Actually..... get a fresh ee4 first without this "(2)" thing in the name of it representing you have multiple copies. then try that cause i had the same softy.

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

Where did you guys see green menus other than the quick settings??? this thing is so pooped up and brown its crazy. wow.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
I agree that there is still a ton of brown and orange but less than there was in EE4. To me the quick settings buttons were the most obnoxious. I am not a fan of the orange overglow.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Yeah I should have downloaded a new ee4 but didnt already went back and forward again and gonna try the update.zip again.

Nope still didnt work. Gonna try one more thing than give up and wait. Nope Damn this is sad.
[Verizon Droid Charge] qazew:
How long does this update take? I have been at the droid red eye screen for at least 20 minutes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
10-15 minutes, but that is on the update screen, not the droid eye. must be bootlooping. pull battery and reboot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
If it's on the droid eye then at least the update finished, pull battery and reboot
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
+1

I have, on occasion, had the system hang on boot after a dalvik cache wipe. It'll just sit at the boot animation forever. This always fixes it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Ok I have tried everything but cant get the update.zip to be seen in recovery. I went from ed2 to ee4, formated the sd card, re downloaded the file and used 7z,winrar and winzip to rename it to update.zip. Hmm this shouldnt be this hard to me. Maybe Im just in a hurry to get it done because the wife wants to try it on her phone to see it gps is any better as she has to travel tomorrow.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Is the update.zip on the root of the sd card, or in a folder? Must be on Root, cannot be in a folder

Can you see the file using the my files app on the phone? Is it named correctly?
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
yep to all , sorry not in a folder and on the root of the sd card and can see it. Ahh damn for some reason it named it update.zip.zip. But at one time I did have it as update.zip and it still didnt work.

DAMN HOLY **** I CAN FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. I DID LEARN ENGLISH IN SCHOOL. SEEMS TO BE WORKING. LOL.

Sorry for all the hassel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Lol hey no worries man! Everyone has their weird moments like that. Glad you got it working!
[Verizon Droid Charge] ceredics:
Get to work on porting that theme i love so much :) let the Rom development begin and let the themes roll ! no more jumping from leak to leak to leak !!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] qazew:
Pulling the battery fixed my problem. Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Think I should have stayed on a Rom that I was on or waited. Obvious its stock but I miss all the stuff you could customize.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Arctic Blue? It will be done in about 3 hours!
[Verizon Droid Charge] mhemu:
Thank god. Now I just need to decide if I'm going to manually do this update or wait for it OTA
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Dev section is an easy all in one ODIN file.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
For those who is running this and knows about the Voodoo Screen Tuning, did you notice that the stock ROM is running on "Bypass"?

I installed this ROM and didn't install Voodoo Screen Tuning at all, but I noticed that my screen is much sharper than usual, so I installed Voodoo Screen Tuning, and change it to "Samsung".

Weird?
[Verizon Droid Charge] The Root:
Is this definite? My wife is actually interested. I just used this method on my mom's Epic because I know it was official, and I don't want to end up with a DK28 situation where I have to Odin my wife's phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Verizon released information on the update on Tuewday, this is the version they just released source for, and we only get source for official releases.

ROotING NEW OTA GB for Charge?

I downloaded the update and installed. Tried to root with Gingerbreak and ADB, nothing, permission denied. Any word on on this official OTA will be rooted or do we have to wait and see till it comes out?
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
You don't root with Gingerbreak. Check for my post a few posts back for full instructions on how to install and root. I'll try to find it in the meantime and edit my post with them.

BEFORE YOU ODIN BACK TO EE4, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE SU FLASHABLE ZIP, THE OTA UPDATE AND IMOSEYON'S KERNEL ON YOUR SDCARD!

Make sure the update file is renamed to "update" and that it's on the root of your sdcard. (not in any folders or anything)

Odin back to EE4. Reboot normally.

Turn the phone off, then reboot into Stock Recovery and run the update.

Once the update finishes and the phone boots regularly. Reboot into Download Mode and plug the phone into the computer.

Start Odin, Uncheck "Auto Reboot", select PDA, NOT PHONE!

Click on the PDA tab and find your recovery file then click "start."

Once it is done and you see the word "PASS" on Odin, unplug the usb cable and press down all three buttons to boot into recovery (volume up, home, power)

Once in recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, mount /system and flash the SU flashable zip.

Go back and wipe cache and dalvik again, mount /system again and flash the kernel.

After that, your recovery will stick and you're good to go. You are now rooted and running on EP4D.

Flashable Super User zip can be found here:

[Verizon Droid Charge] The Root:
Thank you, how do you boot into recovery? I'm a total noob with this phone. I know the rest from there as long as vol up/down are controls and home is select.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Vol. up, power, and home at the same time. when you see "samsung" let go of all three.
[Verizon Droid Charge] The Root:
Btw, Punalu'u is one of my favorite places on this planet.

[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
North Shore is the place to be! 20ft.+ swells right now. Going to hit some waves after work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
So is this newer than EP4P despite the numbering scheme?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
"EP4P" oct 31

"EP4D" nov 3
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
That makes no sense.

Are we going to be seeing ODIN images soon?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Look in development. I think danalo has something up.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Yeah he had a regular odin up and now a debloated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
For the sake of options - a CWM version can be found

here

as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] aschafer14:
After the update, my system was also boot-looping. I tried pulling the battery and rebooting but it keeps getting to the droid eye and then restarts.

When I go back into manual mode I try to update again and it starts the update then gives the me droid with the exclamation mark.

Any Ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Radeax:
Is there video in Google Talk?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
you could try wiping data. other than that, start over by odin ee4 and do the update again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] aschafer14:
I ended up doing a wipe data/factory reset and it restarted with the gingerbread update.

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
Not that I can tell. I have never used it though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
From what I've heard this one works. I haven't tried it myself yet.

By the way, this is a FLASHABLE zip package. Do not extract the zip.

Download zip

Place on sdcard

Reboot into recovery

Flash

I have the stock OTA GB received from Verizon and flashed the imonesyons kernel and am trying to root my phone absolutely nothing that anyone has recommended i do works. I want to achieve root permissions to flash a rom! no one can help me any tips?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
You don't have to have root to flash a rom
[Verizon Droid Charge] bcathey585:
So i dont need root access to flash a rom? Jus open in recovery install from zip and it wont give me any kind of "trying to make changes to ur phone you do not have root permissions" garbage?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
NO ROOT is required to flash CWM or flash a rom *in* CWM, I don't know who started that rumor but don't believe it if someone posts it
[Verizon Droid Charge] The Root:
Most stock kernels will reinstall the stock recovery and custom kernels come with root scripts built in. so yes you could flash things, but probably just once before reboot would ruin it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
yes I know, keeping root is a whole 'nother story... simply flashing something doesn't take root
[Verizon Droid Charge] bcathey585:
well the thing is I want to runn humble 5.0... permenantly. Or Gummycharged. I cant stand manufactures skins they slow down a phone that already only has 400 mgs of ram. its outrageous. so if I open CWM and install humble 5.0 from zip will it always boot humble or will I have to flash it always?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
no once you flash a custom rom like Humble it will always boot Humble till you wipe and flash something else

when switching songs on my rezound, ill hear static through the head phones

and while listening to music the left one will make a popping noise almost, and sound as if the music is only coming in at about 75% volume

thoughts? maybe a defect model
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
same here. when i have an app open for music/movies but nothing's playing/paused, then there's this noise....

it's especially bad when connected via AUX to my car stereo... it also happens while music is playing but only if the music is at a low volume.

i have been using the headphones on my laptop & it doesn't happen then.. only with the phone. and it even happens when i try out different headphones on the phone.

I notice some epics have issues with the 100mhz step in kernels. Some freezes and lockups as well as battery drain. I know we can disable 100mhz with setcpu and voltage control. And that usually fixes the epics with the problem. However i'm curious to know how many people are suffering from this and what else u did to fix it.
