[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PaulK18:
Hey guys -

I'm trying to unbrick my Rogers SGH-I727R However when I tryto boot into download mode by holding the volume up/down buttons and the power button until I feel the vibration I go into ClockworkMod Recovery instead of Download mode. Then, when I try and use odin to install the stock SGH-I727 firmware Odin says this

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> Removed!!

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Can't open the serial(COM) port.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

What should I do? I have followed the steps on the guide on this forum several times and received this same result above.

Sorry for any retarded questions,

Thanks again

your phone isn't bricked. Boot into cwm, and connect usb to computer. Go to mounts and storage then usb, it will make the skyrocket accessible on pc. Copy over darkside script and a rom of ur choice (I recommend tpc v3 which is rogers based, I use it as well). Then flash darkside, and flash tpc right after.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
vol up/down + pwr button boots into Recovery... not Download. To use Odin: boot PC and open Odin... plug USB into computer (not phone yet)... power off phone... while holding vol up/down buttons, plug other end of USB into phone... this will boot phone into download mode... COM port in Odin will turn yellow when phone is recognized... or do what icenight above ^^^^suggested.

i believe you dont hold volume up on the i727R.

i think its just volume down and plug the usb cable in

From what you're describing in using Odin it seems that it is losing connection (added, then removed, then added again).

Are you doing this on a laptop? If so you should try another usb port--probably the one closest to the power supply (or even if you're on a desktop pc and have another usb port to try).

I've had the same thing happen and found that it was because I wasn't using the powered usb port...

EDIT: You may also want to try re-installing the drivers before attempting and turning off anti-virus/firewall while using Odin.

And if this doesn't work mount USB and try suggestion above...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
While the EVO is a name that has been good to sprint I think they should keep it the name HTC gave it. Since its a new phone n the other EVO phones haven't been the best or sold very well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tgrgrd00:
Sweet! Now if I can just have the patience to pass on the Nexus and wait till June.

So no external SD and no removable battery correct? Hmmm will take getting used to but I guess I could live with that.

eta: oh and no kickstand. That might be the most difficult transition.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AngelofChaos:
so far its been no external sd or removable battery, which I would assume would be to prevent rooting. But I'm certain we'll be able to find a way to circumvent that, unless HTC has finally made a masterpiece of a phone that root is no longer necessary. /sarcasm
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilentSummer:
On the surface it appears to be a great phone.

Wonder how much internal memory it will have since there is no SD slot.

Also, I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure phones with no SDCard are still able to be rooted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cesarcerros31:
Sure hope it has a SD slot as I will be needing that for viewing videos from my gopro on the spot. Plus I will be buying a 32 gb card and don't want that going to waste.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mike Fitz:
I love the looks of this phone, specs seem great, been eligeable for an upgrade since last June, Oh Boy!

But...

I can't imagine going to a phone with no removable battery and no memory expansion. How many power users are still using the original battery only or 8GB Micro SD card in their EVO?

Over the past (almost) 2 years don't know how many times I've swapped to a fresh battery when no outlet was available or had to pull the battery while messing around with ROMS. Locked up and can't pull the battery? What then? Is there a "reset button"?

And no way to expand memory? Remember when 8GB seemed huge and you didn't figure you'd ever run out of room on a phone? How much space does it take up to add a micro SD slot? In two years it's no stretch that 128GB micro SD cards will be available, 64GB cards are coming out now. Hey, with a great camera how many more pics would you be taking?

Oh, and NO KICKSTAND? :(

I'm looking forward to upgrading although my launch day EVO is running as good as ever with Classic (Thanks TommyT!), but man, those are just about deal-breakers!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tgrgrd00:
Couldn't agree more. This is a huge advantage and I don't really understand why they would take that away.

Pretty sure the specs I saw did not include SD port though. Someone please prove me wrong.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] deepsouth06:
i sure hope as well that they include an sd slot but by the looks of it, It might be a no go on the slot. If you got htc's site and look at the one x (att version) it doesn't mention SD. Also on the spec sheet it has 16gb of internal, more reason why there probably wont be a SD slot. Personally I think i could live with that, but like Mike Fitz said the removable battery might be more of an issue. No more pulling of the battery when phone locks up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Just to comment on the above portion - your EVO has a hardware reset key sequence that allows you to reboot the device without pulling the battery. In some cases, you can even get into the bootloader.

Just press and hold both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously for about 4 seconds, and your device should reboot itself. If you're stuck in a bootloop, for example (the boot animation keeps looping), you may even be able to get into HBOOT by first doing the initial sequence, and then releasing all the buttons except for the Volume-Down. When the device reboots, it may bring you right to HBOOT (I say "may" because I've only been able to get that to work on ICS ROMs, for some reason :confused:).

But I assume any new devices without a removable battery will have a similar key sequence. I personally do find that and the lack of removable storage limiting, though.

As far as the kickstand goes, even though I love it, and use it all the time, I can just get a case with one built in. It's not as if I ever take the case off my device :rolleyes:.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aburgthing:
I've railed against this constantly but the idea of having no expandable storage or removable battery does not seem to be causing the backlash I thought would happen; especially from the development community. This and the ability to not be tethered to a wall outlet all the time by having a fully charged battery in my pocket if this becomes the norm is going to revamp how I use my phone everyday.

IOS wanted a consistent experience with it's handsets hence they did not offer expandable storage because the processing time would change causing lags. I think Android decided it was tired of complaints about lagginess and decided "since people want to complain, we'll fix that. No external storage and you won't have lags". The truth is we who tinker and are power users are a vast minority. How many friends or family do you know who have X handset that do absolutely nothing to it except load apps, play games, etc. They use the phone like how it came out of the box. Heck I know people who have the original two year old software that came with the Evo! And you know what, they complain about their phone e.g. low memory, bad battery, it lags. But they are the majority so the handset makers are going to cater to them to have the best stock experience. I hope and pray that I'm wrong, but I see the OEMs getting more "iPhone" like in the future to merge the "Android" experience into a cohesive single experience that is going to put a crimp on what "we" like to do to our phones. But isn't that what everybody wants? No fragmentation, a single user experience?

^^^^^ Great points
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] soonerfreak:
Ok so what does IPS mean in dealing with the screen? HTCs website list Sprints version as HD with IPS and says AT&T is Super LCD. Sprints website also list the screen as super LCD with no mention of IPS. What does this mean for the screen?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Minjin:
So here is your Exynos (4210) vs the Krait (MS8960).

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5559/...ormance-preview-msm8960-adreno-225-benchmarks

In synthetic benchmarks, it is anywhere from 2 to 3 times faster with real world tests showing 20-50% faster. I would call that quite significant.

Galaxy S2 does indeed have a fantastic looking display though reviews say that the Super LCD 2 looks even better. However, your Epic Touch has a resolution of 800x480, which with a screen size of 4.5", gives it a pixel density of 207 ppi. The Evo will have a resolution of 1280x720, which with a screen size of 4.7", gives it a pixel density of 312 ppi, about 50% higher pixel density. I would call that quite significant.

The processor is much more efficient than your Exynos and the chipset includes LTE native support so using 4g won't suck down your battery. Hence, a larger battery isn't really necessary.

I wouldn't upgrade from an Epic Touch right now either. I'm not made of money and I see no reason to upgrade more often than every 2 years, no matter how much of an upgrade it is. But don't justify it with false information. The Evo will be a very significant upgrade from the Epic Touch with improvements in nearly every respect.

IPS is the primary screen technology. Super LCD 2 is the screen brand/model name.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Why they will all be the same for sprint... Outside of sgsiii maybe being a international phone

Also Im sure it won't have the same screen that's in the sgsii at 720p. Also if they have a quad core proc what will you do with it other then have bragging rights.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vancer:
That sux! ... 700 MHz is what makes VZW LTE have such good coverage and penetration :( ... I wonder if the phone will also receive the 800 MHz band when Sprint gets it up and running?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nivek64:
Just like anything else, I'm sure that there will be a third-party equivalent to either take away sales of the accessory or force it to lower its price. Let's hope so.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] B3RL1N:
Or you could save $99 and just use a cable.

EXPANSYS MHL microUSB to HDMI Adapter - $10.99

And yes you can charge your phone and use this.

No idea if HTC gimped the micro USB to HDMI in any way shape or form to give people incentive to buy the media link, but I'm sure the devs at XDA will find a work around.

If you'd rather spend $110 and be wireless, than more power to you. Your budget is more open than mine. :P

Now i'm debating on getting this new Evo or just wait until the SIII comes out since LTE won't roll out here until next quarter

I'm of the mind that unless the GS3 is utter garbage , that will be the phone to beat this year. IPhone included.

Outside of proc I don't see GSIII being all that better but that's just me. Even when it comes to the proc how much power does one really need other then for bragging rights.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ImaWinRAR:
i see the GS3 potentially having the 800 mHz LTE band is a perk worth waiting for. that, and a removeable battery..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Why would it have that if sprints gonna run on 1900?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
I thought they where going through the process of getting that available w the fcc I didn't think it was approved yet and I thought the 800mhz LTE was a 2014 goal
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ImaWinRAR:
1900 is certainly gonna be nice, but like someone pointed out a couple pages ago, VZW 700 is what makes its coverage so much better and more penetrating than wimax

are they? if they are then screw the removeable battery - im getting this phone :D

i've heard sprints starting to roll out its 800 band and being that i live by chicago i dont think i'll be among the last to get it, but i might just jump on this regardless of whether or not it gets approved bc its definitely a long term project and i dont like the waiting game...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I just saw a post at Android central that raised a great question about development on Evo LTE.

The Evo 3d has apparently zero CM support, and that is due to the 3d camera.

If the new Evo has a custom imaging chip, might the new Evo suffer the same dirge of AOSP development?

(This is just from what I saw in a post, I haven't fact checked statement about no CM support for 3d, but statement came from an owner, I'm willing to take his word for it.)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
While it is a hurdle I think there is support just not a ton and that is mainly due to lack of 3d owners. The chip would not only create a problem for EVO but all future HTC phones and I am sure everyone on all carriers that love HTC is getting a one series phone n the Evo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOlvedAndroid:
I'll keep it safe and get the Evo 4G LTE. The thing about almost 99% of the GSIII Rumors are almost utterly ridiculous like a 2 ghz quad cor processor. I really doubt that any phone for the next year won't include anything like this. The rumors are so spread out in diversity, I can't believe any of them, so we have to wait til announcement day (which I really doubt is on May 22nd. Seriously what company would put the name of the phone on the invitation). So I would say if your contract ends in between the months of April-July get the evo. If yours ends next year, I'll just say you will have a lot of options to choose.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thunda_chunky:
Personally, I'm extremely excited for this phone. I've stuck with my OG Evo since launch day with no regrets, and I love it, but I can't wait to put in my preorder.

Like some of the others, I was considering the SGSIII but I really don't like the plastic-y feel of the Galaxy line. Every time I hold one, I just feel like I'm going to break it. I'm a fan of the heft that HTC phones have.

Plus, the Evo LTE is jut beautiful to me. Admittedly, I'm on the fence about the half gloss / half matte back but I figure I'll be able to find a matte top half casing somewhere online.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ImaWinRAR:
+1 what ckoadiyn said.

the E3D also lacked development bc of the lack of interest in it. a lot of ppl werent impressed by it specs-wise and aesthetic-wise. the Evo 4G LTE is a totally different story in this aspect. its insanely smexy (except for the gloss..) and the hardware is top of the line. on top of that ppl will probably be jumping in for the unlimited LTE plans so i believe we'll see quite a bit of support

Looks only matter when it comes to dating

Is it just me or are all of the people posting about how they aren't going to buy this phone because of the back out of their mind? For all I care the phone could have this on the back
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] a senile fungus:
I don't look at the back of my phone too much...

And I'll have a massive case on there, so I'm not too worried about it.

IMHO, how the back of the phone looks has already been discussed so much that the point is now moot. Nearly everyone has already decided if they like it or not.

But I suppose that there needs to be something to talk about...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ECrispy:
ImageSense is shared across the entire HTC One series (One V,S,X and E4GLTE), so its extremely unlikely all these phones won't have any support.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
I know sorry what i was trying to imply was that if it makes a problem for one it will be a problem for all not that their won't be any support. I know the devs will try to figure it out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] superbowlmania:
The phone will be amazing, but the network will have some definite drawbacks. Sprint's WiMax was spotty at best. LTE will be even spottier. This phone will not work on WiMax and LTE will be fast, but very unavailable in many many cities. I expect that Sprint's massive overhaul from WiMax to LTE will take at least 2-3 years. No doubt the phone will be amazing, but I would try to force port it over to Verizon to work on Verizon's much larger and more established LTE network
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I just wondered if HTC might try to protect some proprietary drivers or something, making it difficult. But I guess everything needed will already be in the device. Seeing the trouble we're having with camera in the ICS ROMs made me consider the possibility. But, again, I suppose the things we need will already be on the device.

I just didn't think it through enough, I guess.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mr.BungIe:
I jumped into flashing ROMs about 6months after the EVO came out. At that point there are a few good ROMs but the dirth of really good and stable ones didn't hit until about 9 months after release.

In the same way, development for these new phones is going to be spotty at best for the first 6 months, waiting for root, waiting for drivers, waiting for new kernels, etc. I'm excited about the new phone, but my memory tells me I am going to have to wait for all the candy that will come on the back end.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thunda_chunky:
I know what you mean. From what I've seen in the few ICS ROMs I've used, I'm not sure if I'd need to root/flash customs. The only thing that'd made it worth it with my OG Evo was the free tethering options. And even that was only useful because of the WiMAX coverage. With no LTE anytime soon, I might hold off on rooting my Evo LTE entirely.
