Hi. I have a boost mobile HTC evo design 4G. I have a dropbox with all the files necessary to root, cwm, and go back to stock. Message me for links. I can't post links yet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JC226:
Help me please

My Htc Evo Design 4G is in a Booting loop and I don't know how to fix it, I've been reading in posts and I got to this one, then I downloaded the RUU and installed it but my phone keeps in the boots loop. Please someone help me:crying::crying::crying:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] captivated1971:
someone correct me if im wrong but to ruu back to stock to work you have to relock bootloader

Charging port is bad. It needs replaced. Mine stopped being recognized by the laptop first, then it stopped charging altogether.

If you are phone savy you can buy the charging port and replace it. It was a tedious job but not impossible.

Have there been any advancements on rooting/romming/back-to-stocking for the Design 4g/Hero S lately? I just picked one up to replace my cappy.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gellybelly:
I have a design 4g that is unusual. It has a narrow cable for the touchscreen. Just how the evo 4g had two separate cable versions, well this one I have has a narrow cable. I have asked several vendors on Ebay about it and all said, they haven't seen a narrow cable digitizer, only normal sizes.

Let's see if I can attach an image.

Anyone seen this type before? Know where I can buy replacement?

It's a branded boostmobile

Thanks

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LouZiffer:
Yet more fidgeting from HTC. This time it's likely a misunderstanding on this particular representative's part:

My response:

I expect an "agree to disagree" on this one, in which case I'll be forwarding these communications as part of a non-compliance report. These reports are piling up for HTC. Truthfully I feel bad that such a respected manufacturer doesn't seem to be taking their community seriously when they could easily come along side and partner with us in the same way that competitors such as Samsung have.

EDIT: By the way... NORMALLY I wouldn't recommend airing things out in this way. However, HTC is now developing a lengthy track record which shows that they intend to hold to their "90 to 120 days" position and will not be swayed by private pressure. When large manufacturers do this, I feel it is damaging to the license itself.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LouZiffer:
The ticket has been closed without further comment. I have recorded the dates, times, and transcript of my communications with HTC and sent them on to GPL-Violations.

Feel free to continue asking HTC for the source! I will, too.

Sorry for the thread hijack, BTW. I'd have opened another thread, but without a proper forum this information would likely have been squelched by other activity. (Back to discussing the phone!)

EDIT: This is being handled by GPL-Violations. Hopefully source will be forthcoming.

dsixda kitchen file for Kingdom

I created an edify_def for the Kingdom device. I built a stock rooted rom with this file in the kitchen and it flashed and booted on my Hero S. Been using it for 3 days now with no issues.

Should be able to drop it into the kitchen and then start building what you want.

If you don't know what this is or how to use it read up on the kitchen, as much as I would like to help and teach others I just don't have the time at the moment (not to mention I'm not really a true dev).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 2fast4u88:
I would have to look in my files. How ever that looks right, as I said the hero shares the same as the design. Also nice on the rom. I have had a deodex build setting and waiting. How ever been tied up with ports and other junk. I will add all this stuff to the later today.

Be sure to thank the good folks at GPL-Violations for working on our behalf to remind HTC what GPL compliance means.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HampTheToker:
Good stuff.

I know this is a noob question, but will this help us get S-off? My gut tells me it won't, but I have to ask.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LouZiffer:
It won't. However, the only thing I'm aware of that S-off will get you over the HTC unlock is the ability to flash the radio with something custom. (Well... and you won't be announcing to HTC that you're unlocking your device.)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HampTheToker:
What about ROMs? I thought we needed s-off to apply custom ROMs?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skitzi:
S-off is one way to gain access to flash custom roms, we do not have that. Luckily HTC listened to the community and has website that will walk you through unlocking your bootloader. This allows you to flash boot, recovery, and system files.

So we can flash custom roms but we don't have all the access of s-off such as flashing radios and bootloaders. For most people this shouldn't be an issue other than not having the ability to flash radios will be a pain later on when official updates are released.

In fact custom roms already exist for the HeroS, I have a few of them and plan on releasing them by the end of the weekend :)

The kernel source will lead to custom kernels which allows us to add all kinds of awesome stuff such as overclocking and undervolting.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frigid:
Nice thread man! I am still a big follower on the Design, but to clear things up S-Off isn't really needed with and unlocked bootloader it simply means that you can't write to the boot partition for example a custom kernel will not but you could flash a boot.img threw fastboot and get the same thing. The only difference is one extra step. I can compile some test roms but I am still lacking the design. I had one than sold it. Everything has a price :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HampTheToker:
You've gone through like 5 Designs by now. It's all good, though. We still appreciate your work.

SkitziPak for the Hero S Beta released

Head on over to the VaelPak forums to check out the first beta of SkitziPak for the HeroS. De-sensed, tweaked, and modded.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mangani001:
up and running on my Design 4G.... very nice mr skitzi.....no bugs to report but i will let you know if anything pops up.... thanks for your hard work friend
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skitzi:
Awesome, yes please let me nkow how it works out on the Design 4g. It was built for the HeroS on U.S. Cell although the devices are pretty much the same. There are many things in the Rom that are U.S. Cellular Specific but nothing that should really prevent it from working on the Design. Wimax may not work, I know the partition info is there but I don't think the actual files for it are in place. That may be something I can look into if you find that everything else works out well on the Design.

Thank you :)

Thanx, but those are both RUU links, I already tried that-it keeps giving me a code 155 and says I dont have the correct RUU-I tried with both links too and tried RUU through bootloader-nothing worked and just dont want to get stuck with a messed up phone. The ROM works except when moving to SD it just reboots so I have very limited storage. If any other ideas let me know

---------- Post added at 05:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 AM ----------
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skitzi:
I can work on building a "stock" rom you can flash. Wont be an official one but would get you back to the same place. I suppose the issue would be I can't guaranty OTA's would install. It may allow you to use the RUU afterwards though

The SD card issue, is that while using SkitziPak? If your on SkitziPak that might be the issue with the ruu error, as it is a U.S. Cellular build so it is not recognized by the ruu.

I saw you tried it while in the bootloader. While in the bootloader did you select Fastboot and then try again?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] awadewitz:
+That would be great, you dont have to do anything special, I could at least get back to stock and as far as OTA I wasn't planning on doing that anyway if and when HTC releases ICS. But I need to get back to were I can RUU for warranty purposes.

SD- yea im on SkitziPak I figured that was the issue with the RUU. I read a few people with Designs say it had no problems so I figured id give it a shot-Thats the main reason I wonna get back to stock or close too it -I tried the bootloader way and it said battery was under 30% ???? so yea I went through fastboot but still didn't work-I tried it with the phone on also
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skitzi:
That SD card issue is strange. If you bot into recovery are you able to access the SD card still?

Will work on a stock rom, downloading the files right now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] awadewitz:
Yup and thank you again
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skitzi:
Here are the stock images. Put the .zip on your SD (will have to mount in recovery I suppose) then boot into bootloader. Will find the zip and flash it.

I also built a flashable .zip you can flash from recovery in case you run into the same issues with the images as you did with the RUU. Uploading the flashable .zip now, horribly slow upload speed but I will post that link when it;s up.

Images: http://dev-host.org/e9jwormfrllp/PH44IMG.zip

And here is a zip that can be flashed via recovery: http://dev-host.org/ygx028eqfklp/Design4g_010712_091944.zip
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] awadewitz:
Thank you so much, that was quick I will try this and let you know how it turns out. Im sure somebody else will appreciate this at some point also. Let me know if I can ever return the fav.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] asianbobo15:
I ran your beta 1 on my Design 4G.

I noticed that of course since you have USCC, we'd be missing wimax and mms apn for Sprint. I'm running a modified version of your current 1.0 release by me with the mms fix for sprint and I'm about to add wimax. Is it fine if I post a version of your rom more tailored for sprint for you? All credit will go to you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skitzi:
Yep, go ahead. Please make sure to note it isn't released or supported by me :P

I have been playing with the idea of releasing a Design4g version based off the leaked Design4g RUU. I downloaded it and extracted the rom info just haven't gotten around to applying the tweaks and mods from my USC rom.

If I put one together would you be willing to test it for me? Although I suppose if your tweaked build is running well there may be no need for me to make a whole separate rom with a different base.

I'm not sure how complicated adding Wimax to the USC build will be. For example the settings app does not have the Wimax option under the Wireless settings. You could drop in the settings app from the stock rom, but you would lose the VaelPak settings tweak unless you added it your self. I assume there will be other framework files that you would run into the same issue with, but I haven't looked into it so I'm not certain about that.

If there is demand I will put together the Design4g build.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] asianbobo15:
I'm not sure either how hard it is to incorporate the wimax. Ill credit the base to you and ill support it though.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ss2man44:
Hey Skitzi, I have a Design 4G on Sprint and ever since I isntalled your ROM (even the latest), every time I try to install certain apps (through market or sideloaded) when an SD card is mounted, the phone simply reboots.

This wouldn't be much of a problem except that a lot of Amazon Appstore apps require an SD card to be mounted in order to install.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] awadewitz:
That because you flashed the Hero ROM. Its not really for the Design it is just mostly compatible with it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ss2man44:
I was asking for help with resolving the problem and letting him know such a problem exists because he is considering Design compatibility. I was not asking for the obvious to be stated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mangani001:
i am using his Rom on my Design 4g and i have not had this problem. What apps are you trying to flash that cause the reboot?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ss2man44:
1Password from the Market and Monopoly from the Amazon appstore cause this for me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mangani001:
confirmed... got the reboot... interesting.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ss2man44:
Glad to know it's not just my phone. I don't want to have to try and get it replaced after I've unlocked the bootloader.

EDIT:Here's logcat at the point where the dvm crashes.

Skitzi, I'd like to talk to you via IRC or other quick message service.

EDIT2: Further investigation shows that it is actually trying to install the app to the SD card yet failing somehow. No surprise there. It looks like the com.android.defcontainer package doesn't have the android.permission.ASEC_CREATE permission when it needs to.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 2fast4u88:
Updated first post with info, I believe I got it all and is correct. How ever if not please point it out if not.

As to the above, being I don't know what has been changed have you confirmed them fine on the stock rom?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ss2man44:
Indeed I have. Considering the following bit from earlier in logcat, I believe the package manager isn't recognizing com.android.defcontainer as a system package and isn't granting it the required permissions. But, I have no knowledge pertaining to the way Android handles permissions at all.

W/PackageManager( 6158): Not granting permission android.permission.ASEC_CREATE to package com.android.defcontainer (protectionLevel=2 flags=0x8be45)

This blog indicates that the ASEC_CREATE permission is of the type "signature," which the Android docs define as follows:

More specifically, perhaps com.android.defcontainer isn't being granted this permission because DefaultContainerService.apk isn't properly signed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ralphus4121:
i have a hero-s on USCC and have this exact same problem. other than that i love the ROM, hopefully it's fixable!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skitzi:
Looks to be an issue across the board. Looking into this and will release a fix soon.

If possible I would really like people to take the conversation to the release thread over at Vaelek's place. Once we have an actual forum here at XDA I will certainly start a thread for this, but till then 1 thread at Vaelek's would be nice.

Additionally, I have started on a Design 4g version using the stock Design images as the base. Will have working wimax and all. No ETA as I am out of town for 3 days starting tomorrow for work meetings.

One more note, check out the attached image :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skitzi:
What other apps/situations are people seeing this?

installing 1password

installing Monopoly

others?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ss2man44:
Pretty much any app that triggers DefaultContainerService to create an asec file on the SD card (see my posts). I'm not entirely sure what makes such an app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skitzi:
Ya, I think I know whats up now. The built in move apps to SD feature under manage applications causes the same issue.

Playing with some ideas I think may fix it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skitzi:
For those having issues using the ph44img.zip files. relock your bootloader and they should then work.

/the actual steps I took to get it working was flashing a stock rom via recovery then relocking the bootloader. I would think you can skip flashing a stock rom.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ralphus4121:
it seemed random to me, it happened when installing from the android market as well as installing .apks off my sd card. if i have time later tonight maybe i'll re-flash it and see if i can narrow it down a bit.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skitzi:
SecureAppInstallFix_4SkitziPak_v1.zip - 154 KB

Thsi should fix the reboots people are having with certain installs and the move app to sd card option in Application Management.

Either flash via recovery or extract the .apk and push to /system/app/

Let me know if anyone continues to have problems. Also, going forward I am going to really try and keep this to the post over at Vaelek.com
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ss2man44:
So it WAS signed incorrectly? I tried replacing the .apk with the one in a CWM backup I made before flashing but then I couldn't install any apps at all. I think I fudged up the UNIX permissions.

EDIT: It works fine now. Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skitzi:
Correct, it was problem with the signature on the .apk :)

Thank you!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ss2man44:
It's no problem. I may have barely any knowledge on Android itself, but I sure know how to google and read docs.

Another problem I found while troubleshooting was that wiping user data deletes some important apps. Perhaps the battery bar settings and such should be moved (back) to /system?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skitzi:
doh, ya that was supposed to be moved back to system. There was an issue with getting it to be recognized after a flash without manually having to install it after the flash. When playing around I dropped it in data and forgot to ever move it.

On the list for 1.1

Also, not sure if others are having this problem but the htc mail client is not working for me now. I click on an email but it wont display. Seems to have started after the reboot fix.... Looking into this but if others can let me know if they have the same issue that would be helpful.

Edit:

Flashed and did not apply the fix, still happening. Hmm, it was working before.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ss2man44:
I don't know if this is related, but the stock browser crashes upon loading now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skitzi:
It is, and is a problem with the 1.0 base....

I took down the download and am working on 1.1.............

Sorry all
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ss2man44:
That's alright. At least you're providing a most excellent ROM. What I want to see though is a custom kernel that both allows for overclocking and fixes the touchscreen issue when a lockscreen replacement is used.

I'd do it myself, but I'm going to be extremely busy for the next 3 weeks.

EDIT: Actually I've found that adding overclocking is easier than I thought. I'm going to poke around with compiling custom kernels.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LouZiffer:
Hey ss2man44. Just read your post.

I'm having some luck with compiling the HTC kernel source and throwing the results on the Design 4G. It compiles okay and is complete. Here are some lessons learned:

- The AnyKernel and mkbootimg methods haven't worked for me. I've used abootimg successfully. When unpacking the stock boot.img, it'll generate a bootimg.cfg file which contains the offsets for the kernel and ramdisk that the phone looks for, and makes packing things back up a snap.

- As always, the codesourcery 2010q1-188 toolchain works well. Don't use a newer one, as they support newer GCC versions than what the HTC source requires.

- When compiling, be sure to put EXTRA_AFLAGS="-mfpu=neon" in there or you'll get compile errors.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ss2man44:
Thanks for that, I'll keep all this in mind.

Have you messed with the CPU clock settings any? Also, are there any modules that need to be built separately?
