Hey XDA. Well, today I went to sprint to get a replacement. Issues were: Reboots, Lock Ups, Overheating, and launching apps causing reboots. I explained how this happened after I finally updated to OTA 2.17, they said they will run their tests

(I say BS). I explained that obviously that whatever is going on with my phone "they wont see it" (they will say that nothing is wrong with it) Now, I'm stuck without a phone until tomorrow. After the first time I went there, he said that they needed my SD card. I said BS, why?, I said that the phone is rebooting without the SD Card, I even took the phone while frozen at the lock screen. He said that the ticket # said that I was only claiming to have issues with Spider Man 3D. I immediately flamed up! I said that it overheats, has constant reboots, freezes, AND THAT SOME APPS REBOOT THE PHONE! He said that he will tell the techs to re check it. I'm hoping that they get the lockups, As I also told him that I hard reset the phone 3 times, he said that they will test it. I'm starting to regret my EVO 3D

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Yes, I've rooted, unrooted, and am familiar with the term RUU.
[HTC EVO 3D] gilbydakid:
So it's probably a problem you caused since it's been rooted. and now you're upset because they may not fix a problem that you created?

S3nt from my 3D wond3rland
[HTC EVO 3D] flooppoolf:
No, the problem arrived after unrooting. I did not create it. Rooting doesn't create problems if you know what you're doing.
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
This comment was completely unnecessary. Just for the record, my best friend also had these same issues on a 3d that had never been rooted....mine on the other hand has been rooted to hell and back and always stable. Real issues do arise, rooted or not....it doesn't mean he caused the issues and yes, most Sprint techs are completely useless to resolve these sort of problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] flooppoolf:
Troyboytn, you're AWESOME

My point exactly. Thanks Bro. See, the Sprint Rep kept telling me that his gonna do a "Hard Reset" after telling him I did that more than 3 times, and the problem persists. I wanted to speak to one of the techs, maybe they would know what was actually happening.

Don't ever misunderstand rooting. It is basically stock with customization.
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
Best of luck to ya man. I hope there is a smarter than average tech there that can actually do something for you, if not, my advise to you is to call Sprint customer service at the next sign of issues and just politely tell them of your problems and experiences and that you would like a new phone. It's usually as easy as that.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Sometimes, you really have to just flash the customer service person if you want something done.

Don't take my advice

----------------------

Seriously, though, this is one reason why I got insurance. You don't have to deal with their bull****.
[HTC EVO 3D] flooppoolf:
Yeah Bro, Thanks, I got insurance, I just don't want to pay a $100 fee. I want to see if I can haz it for free first.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
You can tell them you did a hard reset a 100 times. It won't matter to them. They have to follow process and procedure to test your phone for your issue. Yes this may sound stupid and yes the tech may give you a bs answer. It happens.

What you can do is try a different Sprint store.

And like others say, I advise to get insurance. It does help a lot.
[HTC EVO 3D] eyeisdasteve:
You have better chances if you go to like a retail store not a corporate 1. Like in the mall or something. They aren't really Sprint.

But I have also had problems.

And I also hate Sprint customer service.
[HTC EVO 3D] getmadnow:
Actually that comment was completely necessary....he did say the problem started happening after unrooting the phone. U made the decision to root and unroot ur phone to begin with.....I dont see ur logic for being mad at sprint for a problem that u created.
[HTC EVO 3D] flooppoolf:
Are you ****ing serious?

See, People like you don't belong here. If my phone was Okay rooted, and if I unroot via RUU. The phone goes back to stock, as in, how it came back. The problems started after unrooting.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Unless you caused the damage while you were rooted and it only showed up after you unrooted. How is anybody to know?
[HTC EVO 3D] getmadnow:
Are u listening to urself? Use some kind of logic with what ur sayin. If the phone was fine when u got it....u rooted it and it was fine.....u unrooted and now there is a problem.....where do u think the problem is? U really feel sprint is at fault for this? Are u ****in kiddin me? Its people like u that shouldnt be ****in around with their phone if ur goin to blame other people when there is a problem......everyone knows when u start messing around with ur phone there is a risk of u ****ing it up.....and u Sr. did exactly that.....so dont blame sprint for what u did.
[HTC EVO 3D] gilbydakid:
Was it unnecessary? For all we know he could have made this thread to justify his means in messing his phone up. Do you have proof that he did everything correctly? Do we know if he unrooted right before he brought it in? And what does your friends"never been rooted phone" have to do with a phone that's been rooted and unrooted?

If someone tells you the moon is made if cheese you gonna grab a box crackers?

S3nt from my 3D wond3rland
[HTC EVO 3D] animal7296:
I have a quick question. How did you root the phone? Were you 1.5 hboot and did the brick method to root it? That is how I rooted mine and it started getting hot so I put it back to stock and took it in. They told me they were going to replace it for me andI had a new one the next day.
[HTC EVO 3D] Someguy316:
I was having issues with the EVO 3D that I originally got with the service at Sprint; the phone radio completely stopped working for me. Took it to the local Sprint store and they wanted to charge me $30 for something that was not my fault as the phone was unrooted and used with normal apps. Hoping it doesn't happen again as it took a week and a half for HTC to "repair" (replace) and return it.
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
lol. I love cheese and crackers! ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Me too, I prefer the pre made ones. :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
Just brick the damn phone and take it in with the brick method from the downgrade. This thread is either too funny or to much drama. I'd prefer you just get your phone and get it replaced if you have had problems. Rooting isnt going to cause it if you had tried multiple roms and clean wipe configurations. Just soft brick it with the method and be done with it.

I personally have a Evo 3d that the digitizer has been going out for months now. I haven't got it replaced, but you can rest assured when you bring it like that to another store, that they are gonna look for watermarks and other signs of failure. If you don't show any other signs and it won't boot, then they are going to replace it.
[HTC EVO 3D] SH4YD33:
Sprint has the worst service. I had a evo with a dead spot in the lcd. Took it in and all they did was hard reset it. Took them 3 hours to do that. They gave if back and said there was no issue.

I had to sit there for a hour pressing y on the keyboard showing him that it wouldn't work... Garbage customer service.

I ended up going to a different store and finally getting a replacement. A white evo 3d..

Since I was out of contact because of good ol PRL changes racking up the roaming I sold the evo.

Picked up a galaxy nexus and never looked back.

Way better coverage. And if I need a phone replacement with vzw I don't have to go into the store and deal with retards.
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
I guess I'm lucky, I've never had a bad experience at either sprint store I go to. I had button and microphone issues multiple times with my evo 4g, never unrooted it, went to the store and 5 minutes later they ordered me a replacement everytime. Just last week I took my evo 3d in because of dust under the screen, still rooted, got a new screen no questions asked. I think its just a matter of finding a good store with good people.

We're comin from a pure power source.
[HTC EVO 3D] weezer562:
You get the best service anywhere when you have a good attitude. If you go in there arguing and trying to circumvent their policies then you become that guy.
[HTC EVO 3D] Trina9:
And good attitude does help. But if the store techs are fools, you are stuck dealing with them.
[HTC EVO 3D] fourthhorseman:
Just call sprint customer service and ask for a new phone. If your nice to them they'll be nice to you. But make sure to follow the don't ask don't tell policy. They don't nessesarily need to know you rooted your phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] gilbydakid:
Am I the only one that notices this? Most people that ***** about sprints customer service are the ones that come off as pretentious pricks?

Maybe not all our any for that matter are dumb, maybe they're acting in this manner to rid themselves of the assholes faster, yeah?

S3nt from my 3D wond3rland
[HTC EVO 3D] Trina9:
I'm not trying to be a *****. But my local store first thing they do is look at your apps, which is none of their business. Am I so wrong to want a local store with some basic knowledge.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Well, checking the apps isn't that much of an invasion of privacy. They need to check for root some quick way, and looking for Superuser is the fastest and easiest. Most people that root (meaning people not on XDA that just wanted to wifi tether and dont have much android knowledge) don't know you can hide it or unroot.

I don't see why you would care if they know what apps you have. If you gave your phone to a friend, they would be able to look at all your apps too. Hell, if you have a terrorist bomb planner/detonator or a redtube app you might get a funny look and that's it.
[HTC EVO 3D] flooppoolf:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

First of all, thanks to those who care. To all others, if I posted this thread to show to sprint, it would be much more formal, and would not mention I being rooted :mad:

So I went back for my phone and THIS IS WHY I HATE SPRINT CS TO THE MAX:

The Rep said:

Oh we loaded a new software on it.​

I just went bazerk and stormed out. I checked everything, and the "New" Software was not present...

:mad:​
[HTC EVO 3D] dgomez720:
maybe you ****ed up..maybe ya didn't

sooo in conclusion... does the "new software" still have the same issues? I'm assuming your going to a back of the woods corp store because when people bring their phones in rooted, i simply unroot them and REFLASH the most current RUU or use a simpleDL tool from Sanyo/kyocera or use my own personal copy of ODIN to fix issues..then you have the idiot that brings in a rooted phone and when you ask him when the issues started happenin, he quickly says, "oh the issues were before i rooted it" as if i couldn't tell the moron flashed something incorrectly (in this case, he somehow attempted to stupidly flash a splash screen when on Hboot 1.5) and he bricked it and decides to be a d-bag and curse up a storm because im trying to explain to him that even though its rooted i would be more than happy to help him since my own 3D is rooted but because hes being a d-bag i decide to send his ass to HTC or Asurion so he can explain to them WHY denied him a replacement after he tried flashing a splash screen when on 1.5...dont be that d-bag..so if so facto, take it or leave, never gonna give you up or let you down, never gonna run around and desert you, you gotta bang bang bang the drum, etc etc. dont ***** about something if you havent tried doing something on your own (not saying you havent, but why did you unroot in the first place) if you root your phone, you do run in to the possibilty of suppressing current issues and not notice them until your running stock software. some custom kernels dont have the same issues as the stock one does, but then again most stock kernels arent built by genuis' :D so i guess my questions still stand and they are as follow:

1) did the "new software" fix the issues (which its really not new software idiot just a more current and fully loaded STABLE version of the OTA but instead installed OVER THE WIRE ie., OTW, idk why they call it new software when they should know most idiots wont use common sense to realize this)

and

2) why did you unroot in the first place? (thats just my question out of curiosity)

hmmm........
[HTC EVO 3D] flooppoolf:
I don't think it's an OTW, man, I know the Baseband numbers, it was 2.17**** and apparently it's not new. i unrooted because I got tired of flashing ROM's and wanted it simple until ICS came out. No worries bro I understand how some people are douche's I see them all the time. Thanks for informing me though.
[HTC EVO 3D] Trina9:
Because the past few times I've been in, they always seem to make a big deal out of the apps on my phone. They say that I have "too many" even though I'm not half full. And I've been told not to load too many apps, because "all the apps on Android Market are bad for your phone". And Go Launcher and Widget Locker are "rooting". And wiping is the solution to every issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
They sound like morons. I would go to a different store if I were you

We're comin from a pure power source.
[HTC EVO 3D] Alpine-:
Just to throw in a recent observation I had....

Yesterday I was in a small central Missouri town for a court hearing. I have a Evo 3D with Sprint. My coverage seemed fine, I had full bars at times, others I didn't, but I had no interruption in service. Data and email seemed to be coming in at a good rate. Another attorney with the latest iphone on T-mobile had normal coverage. Finally, a 3rd attorney also with the most recent iphone, was on Verizon. He had no service and when we attempted to call him it would go straight to his voice mail.

I was very surprised to say the least. I had assumed T-mobile would perform the worst. Verizon is large and I expected it to have better coverage in line with AT&T or Sprint at this point. I never have any issue with Sprint in rural locations unless its occasionally on the highway / county road in between towns - even then its only a few minutes.

This just goes to show that it really depends WHERE you are and what that particular carrier coverage is like for your area. *****ing about your partcular town or city is pretty futile because Sprint may be the best in another area. For example, in you're in Kansas City, it doesn't get much better, 4G Wimax, etc. You also dont have the major overcrowding of the bw & network like you do with iphones on AT&T (albeit this has been remedied as of late with network upgrades). Point is, find the best carrier for your primary area, it does vary, especially if you're not in a major metro area.
[HTC EVO 3D] dgomez720:
No no, the baseband that we have in the stores is the OTA. That's why you don't see a different software on there. Idk why they (as in reps and some cases stupid techs) tell people its "new software" because it isn't. If it didn't fix your issues, they should be able to replace it because in our M&P it clearly states we must work on rooted devices but before we order a replacement, we must return it to stock. Most techs that don't root don't know how to unroot.. Most stores have idiots working for them but once In a while you find a store where some of us know what we are doing
[HTC EVO 3D] dgomez720:
I will agree with you finding the best Cartier where you spend the majority of your time is, checking coverage maps of course would be the best way to find out what suits you best. I would not go sprint.com or Verizon.com or any other carriers site because they will all say they have the best coverage in that specific area.. Look at CNET or Engadget or phonescoop. They have actual maps that site real coverage and actual specs
[HTC EVO 3D] flooppoolf:
Well, I'm here in El Paso, TX. Most of the reps have iPhones and doubt they know what rooting is. What is a M&P, and where can I find one here where I live.
[HTC EVO 3D] dgomez720:
Yeah I'm going to assume that you are right about them not knowing ****.. An M&P is what we go by at the stores man.. Our methods and procedures.. Lol can't find them anywhere but in sprints inner workings
[LG Thrill 4G] JReeher:
I've got like 3 different back ups on my cwm is there a way I can rename them without messing them up?
[LG Thrill 4G] CoSaWa:
Just Download Rom manager, then manage back ups, rename it then delete Rom manager if you so wish
[LG Thrill 4G] JReeher:
Is it safe to select optimistic 3D in Rom manager or is it gonna brick my phone ... cause the thrill isn't in the list
[LG Thrill 4G] shahkam:
You can also use oi file manager just browse to your backup like if you use cwm :

Sdcard/cwm/backups

Once there long press the file you wanna rename and choose "rename" and just make sure to not put "spaces" while renaming your backup.. instead you can put "/" or "-"..
[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:
I would stay away from it.

[LG Thrill 4G] JReeher:
Yeah I used root explorer to do it before and some how I messed it up it said something about the md5 sum missing
[LG Thrill 4G] JReeher:
That's what I thought thanks
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Yes Optimus 3D is safe. This is what I use. It works on both the Optimus 3D and the Thrill. Using this option you can also get cwm touch recovery. I use Rom manager to flash cwm recovery. The 'Thrill' cwm recovery that we were manually installing is also an Optimus 3D recovery image.
[LG Thrill 4G] shahkam:
I always use oi file manager and renaming is never a issue and hasnt been whit my other devices its kinda weird :o

Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
[LG Thrill 4G] JReeher:
Every time I rename it says md5 sum mismatch
[LG Thrill 4G] hackedout:
you can rename them with any file manager, but to restore it has to be the original file name, so when renaming them add a prefix and then delete only what you added and it will flash with out a mismatch.
[LG Thrill 4G] shahkam:
Have you tried restoring the rom whitout changing name to see if it works ?? Otherwise just take the numbers like : 1039.3.203030 and on your pc make a new note using note pad and name it whatever you wanna name it so it should look lile this :

102.2034.3404 = Energy Rom might not be the best solution but a quick workaround...

Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Just use rom manager to rename. It will generate a new md5 sum to match.
[LG Thrill 4G] yourguitarist:
I never have any problems restoring a renamed backup.
[LG Thrill 4G] WattB006:
I would also agree that it is safe. I just flashed it yesterday and it works perfectly. ROM Manager is a nice app to have.
[LG Thrill 4G] elementaldragon:
I know this thread is a few months old, but just figured i'd update this for anyone else who may be having issues, or might have issues in the future and google's it... but you can rename the backups to whatever you feel like and have no issues restoring it due to MD5 sums mismatches. The only thing is that you can't use spaces. If you absolutely have to have some form of a space in the name of the folder for the backup, use a period or something instead.

I upgraded to supercm7 from android 2.3.3. Cleaned User Data, Dalvick Cash and Cash before the upgrade then flashed rom with the Supercm7. All functions seems to work. However I lost 32gb of my external SD since the external SD is showing now as \mnt\emmc. Is there any way to make the \mnt\emmc become the external_SD.

Unfortunately currently I have music, pictures and videos that were on this SD card but no longer are seen by any of the applications that saw these files in previous android OS.

Please help if you know how to fix this.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
There are only 2 reasons. Tether doesn't work, tried Foxfi, tried UltraCf method.... Also I use Navigon a lot and Navigon can't install with ICS. I love ICS, much much smoother and better UI compares to GB. Can't wait for the new update or official release
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] swaggerjacker:
I see. Foxfi worked for me surprisingly. Hopefully we get an official soon. Sorry you had to revert bro.

I just purchased an Atrix 4g from amazon wireless and got it in today, the ATT rep i spoke to before the purchase said i did not require a sim card to use the phone but its only letting me do emergency calls? Is there any way to bybass this? or do i need to call ATT and unlock it?

Edit: Found an old post for using the phone without a sim card, seems to have worked for now, ill have to try rebooting it and seeing if it stays this way.

Also, should i call ATT and get it unlocked anyway?
