my new fix attempt is to redownload and reflash the VM firmware. I havn't heard anyone try that. I'll let you guys know if i run into any problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
I heard someone suggest that earlier. Eager to hear results:)
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Did it. No dice.
[HTC EVO 3D] Smac7:
well, so far, i do not recommend. lol. I can no longer do a profile update or a prl update. It now tells me i need to contact customer if problems persist when i try to do that. Ill tell you if my sms has errors when i use it more tomorrow though.

[HTC EVO 3D] Genesis Nova:
Well I stuck the dzdata_4g.hdr in a PG86IMG.zip, and tried to update it, said "loading nv.img" not sure if that means anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
haha ok and im going to bed guys it's like 2am and I wanna sleep haha night guys! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
going into ##data#, i noticed wimax said something about virgin mobile.
[HTC EVO 3D] jivany:
You are right. Also you can edit. All though I don't recommend. Let the devs figure everything out guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
Yeah ok virgin mobile, you've overstayed your welcome. Now get off. But seriously now i'm going to bed
[HTC EVO 3D] Genesis Nova:
Since attempting to load the firmware file and seeing "loading... [nv.img]" in bootloader, i remember seeing nv files having something to do with the radio with the og evo, I haven't had any luck finding nv files for the 3d yet, but I do know for sure loading the dzdata_4g.hdr returned "nv.img" in the bootloader.
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Yes same here to the first part but if u do a w2.17 says to call sprint will try that tomorrow all though I doubt it will work.. I cab still make calls however data is dead except WiFi LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Well someone has to test n I think I can go without 3g for a bit till I get my upgrade lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Smac7:
huh? are you drunk? i have no clue what you just said. What is a w2.17?
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Ment if you do it w a 2.17 ROM it says call sprint lol n no just really tired.
[HTC EVO 3D] Smac7:
haha, ok. So did your data stop working before or after you called sprint? My data is working now, i don't want to cripple my phone even further.
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
I cleared the data profile with ##3282#, however now hands free activation fails and if I attempt to update the profile or PRL I get an error (like other people are having).

And ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Same. For some reason my data just started working again though.
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Haven't tried calling did the data reset thing once thing n yeah no good thought it was tho for a min
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Weird
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Damn. Been reading this thread for awhile. And boy does it suck. Hope they get a fix for this. I flashed freezas zip file but my banner never changed to virgin mobile.. radio also didn't change . Now I feel lucky for not having this issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
I can "use" the data but it does not show the 3G icon and if I go back into the ##3282# menu, the data profile is blank.

I also tried activating the phone as if it were new online at sprints site like I did with this phone originally (I had to get it replaced) but it kept saying it couldn't find the phone's identifier number or whatever.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Yeah someone else had that problem also. They used Sprints website.
[HTC EVO 3D] J.eremy:
Am I the only one who didn't flash the firmware at all and have no problems whatsoever on the leak?

Who originally said the firmware had to be flashed in the first place.....
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
No one said it had to be. That's not the issue here.
[HTC EVO 3D] geniustheanimal:
In the first ROM of the leak, it was suggested that the firmware be flashed, as the 2.17 and below firmware versions could potentially cause problems. A bit later, the opinion was revised that we should try flashing without the firmware first, but it was already too late for a number of folks.

There are also some who were having usability issues with the leaked ROMs because of their firmware versions, and flashed the update to improve stability.
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
You need to use the DEC number. The HEX one won't work.

But when you get to the phone it will still fail.
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Am I correct in assuming that even with the virgin mobile firmware, we are still actually using the sprint network as sprint users? Does sprint see our devices as VM or Sprint? Will this effect our billing or something?
[HTC EVO 3D] 144saint:
That's something id like to know
[HTC EVO 3D] 144saint:
I'm s-off and I'm running great and smooth. Flashed fw and Rom . Ics. All good.
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
edit: nvm
[HTC EVO 3D] notasimpleway:
I flashed the firmware. Had a problem with radio interface and data connectivity. So, I flashed the 2.17 firmware(it didn't change my PRI back) and updated my profile and haven't had a problem aside from VM still showing everywhere. I'm not worried about it. Everything is working now for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
Would you mind pointing me in the direction of the 2.17 firmware? I am having trouble finding it, I will try this method too and confirm if it works for me =) Thanks in advance!
[HTC EVO 3D] motoelliot:
I've flashed the new virgin firmware, n flashed back several (4x) I havwnt had any problems whatsoever.... Besides having to reflash my personal splashscreen.... But I have orig evo 3d from release day w 1.04eng boot. S-off formerly alpharev... :D I also run the new leak w/o updating firmware...

[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Anyone got a comment on the above?
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
All I can say is the more you fiddle with it the worse it gets.

I had 3G with "Virgin Mobile" but what I noticed is I lost VPN.

So after trying to flash 2.17, Handsfree Activate etc. then I lost 3G.

Then tried to Reactivate through Sprint Web site and now I can't even get VOICE.

I suspect anyone that flashed this firmware is in the same boat. And should be worried.

Because if you try to sell it, I suspect it would not reactivate. Let alone say Sprint or run VPN.

Some of us know it's not wrong because normally you can reactivate all you want.

If says Virgin Mobile, you want it fixed eventually, becuase it will cause problems. It's just some folks ran into those problems sooner than others.

I'm not *****ing I know freeza was trying to help.

We just need to figure out how to fix it. I can't wait it out with no voice and I'm not sure if sprint can fix it remotely if bogus firmware is still on there.
[HTC EVO 3D] notasimpleway:
I flashed the firmware. But had problems. Went back to 2.17 and now zero problems on ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Agreed, a fix is a must. Too bad I don't have the knowledge to do it. Hopefully someone else can.

I'm pretty confident that the official sprint firmware when released with ICS should fix it, but my phone is already crippled and I don't think I'll want to wait that long. You don't even have voice so obviously you need a fix.

You are still using Sprint. A good test is to dial *2. You'll get Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Well I got Sprint from *2, so that's good.
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
Thank you sir, you're a life saver, I will update with results in a little bit for other people with the same problem so we at least have a consistent answer.

Before I messed up by clearing profile, I got network billing on Google's Play store (link).

Another test you can do is:

Log into your sprint account and look @ Data usage, note the value.

On your phone (assuming you have data connection) download a let's say 25 MB file.

Wait 15 minutes.

Check back on your Sprint account. The data will have gone up by 25 megs.

Although the *2 code is more than enough since that's Sprint's customer care code that only works on Sprint phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
Yess!! Finally fixed mine, now it is just the banner which I could care less about. No more virgin mobile in epst, everything shows Sprint and my blackboard app works now as well :)
[Kindle Fire General] Aesrys:
I've been playing around with several of the great ICS Roms for the Kindle Fire, especially once the 3.0 kernel really got rolling. Since this is the only device I currently have that can run any type of ICS, it's still fairly new to me. I was wondering what advantages people saw to ICS on the KF vs. using a rooted version of stock (like MoDaCo), and vice versa.

Please note, this isn't in any way meant to disparage the great work all the devs are doing with the kernel and different ICS Roms.

Here's my initial take (and please note, these are just my opinions), but would love more opinions.

Rooted stock

1. Stock reader: To me, the reader on the stock (or rooter stock) rom is much better than the Kindle for Android app

2. Kindle Fire apps: If you bought any, like I did before I started changing roms around, than you can still use these. Haven't been able to do so (yet) with any of the ICS roms

3. Market: Because it's rooted, I still have access to Google Play as well (limited to Gingerbread apps I'm sure) (don't know if this is really an advantage per se, but I thought it was a worthwhile point)

4. Battery: I had better battery life with the stock rom than with any of the ICS roms (*Note*: I know this item is likely temporary, since a lot of work is going into the 3.0 kernel)

5. Stability: Obviously, the ICS/3.0 items are still being worked on, so for now, the stock is likely going to experience fewer things like FCs and dropped WiFi (*Note*: Again, i'm sure this is temporary)

ICS

1. Interface: Likely a big reason many people switch over, the ICS interface is (to me) much cleaner and more user-friendly. Also, more customizable

1a. Tablet specific: Since ICS was created for for phones and tablets, the interface also works really well for a tablet, instead of just being a port of a phone interface.

2. USB OTG: I know this is a big point for a lot of people with the 3.0 kernel development, but having this even working a little is definitely a bonus

Thanks all.
[Kindle Fire General] Hashbang173:
The modaco rooted stock also has kindle owners lending library and amazon instant video. The ics doesn't.
[Kindle Fire General] Itaintrite:
ICS is faster and more customizable. I think that's reason enough for me.
[Kindle Fire General] veeman:
Dropped wifi is damn annoying but I'll live with it until something can be done. :D

Battery life for me has been about the same for me with stock and ICS though.
[Kindle Fire General] RonDelgen:
In the end, it's all about the apps for me so stock wins out over ICS. But the interface is so much smoother on ICS, and because hardware acceleration works it's now a much tougher choice to make.
[Kindle Fire General] Serinety:
Rooted stock.

1. It's actually the same all behind the scenes.. could be placebo that makes stock feel nicer.

2. Just download the amazon app store and any app you bought on amazon will be available on an device or os.

3. Google play is google play. Not sure about it being limited to anything though. I think it uses galaxy tab 10.1 build.prop.

4. Seems about the same to mee. Unles you are pre 4/28 kernel and your unit wad not deep sleeping right.

5. On energy ics with 4/28 kernel I have not yet dropped WiFi or had a single FC. But.on previous builds it was pretty unstable.

ICS.

1. It is nice, but not having the full screen for icons sucks. Is like an asop build at some point. Still better than stock 6.3 with go launcher.

2.USB host is kick ass..

Bottom line.

If you need book borrowing or amazon streaming then stock non rooted is really the best way to go. Of you could care leas about borrowing or streaming (srsly, netflix and hulu have twice the content and its not a dollar f-ing 99 PER episode!! wtf amazon.. 80 bucks a year for prime and that's how you do me? 1.99 per episode of New Girl? Die in a fire amazon...)

Ics on kindle is amazing I like to bring it to best buy and WoW the retarded pc sales guys.. lol.
[Kindle Fire General] Aesrys:
Thanks for the reply. A couple of counter-points to yours:

1. The stock reader is actually a bit different from the Kindle App. The stock reader handles things like margins and line spacing better than the android app. I tested this out with the same book on both. I think the ICS android app still needs some work, as the Gingerbread/CM7 version also looks better than than ICS one (my opinion).

2. Actually, even installing the Amazon App store will typically not let you install games/apps with the Kindle Fire Edition moniker. Most apps will work just fine, you're correct, but any of those specific ones (I think mostly games, but could be others) won't even show up, much less install. Folks have even tried the full titanium backup/restore with mixed results. So, if you don't have any of these kinds of apps, this is really a non-issue.

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] Scaevola:
I was staying away from ICS due to lack of hw accel, but I switched over recently.

However, I saw that Wired magazine app doesn't work on ICS so I had to return back to stock.

Now, I'm considering dualbooting ICS with stock. It seems to be the most viable option.
[Kindle Fire General] Dasanko:
Have you checked out an app called FBReader? Personally, I prefer it over the Kindle Reader app, and it could negate one of stock's "good points"...
[Kindle Fire General] Aesrys:
No, I haven't heard of it, but I'll give it a look, thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] wigsey:
I've tried both and found ICS slower on calling up web pages.

I really don't see what it adds to the party over and above Modaco.

I would describe ICS as more like tossed salad as in it's all over the place.

Also Amazon Appstore wouldn't install or me on ICS. Maybe because I am outside the US
[Kindle Fire General] Android Cowboy:
Any app that is designated as [Kindle Fire Edition] will only work on the stock KF. So that's something to think about when buying apps from Amazon Appstore. I really hate the KF UI and much prefer ICS. The home page carousel is the worst.
[Kindle Fire General] Aesrys:
I was actually able to get one Kindle Fire Edition app to work on ICS, Dead Space. Had to to a backup using Titanium Backup from MoDaCo and then restore to ICS. Of course, I likely won't get any updates. Funny thing is, this same process wouldn't work for 2 Gameloft games (DH2 and Asphalt 6).

Problem resolved

Thank you my Xperia X10 has this problem and solved thanks to these tips.
[LG Optimus Black] lenyt:
Hello,

I did a factory (provider endorsed) update to 2.3.4 v20i and I cannot seem to root the phone. I have read the noob article for optimus black and tried:

- gingerbreak

- unlockroot

- superoneclick

So basically, with the exploits being closed off in the recent versions, there is no simple way to root this version?

Regards,

Len

If you want to keep your current v20i then there is no already made root method but you can inject cwm using dd on linux . But if you just want to install a custom rom , here is a root method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1480392

. And search before you post
[LG Optimus Black] aniym:
Like the OP, I did the official LG update to 2.3.4 (v20i) and tried to use the method in the above link to root it and install a custom ROM. It didn't work because the Smartflash tool started the process and then stopped, saying 'Timeout error'. I searched the forums for a solution but no one else seemed to have the problem. I wasn't clear on why this was...maybe because they all rooted while on Froyo, or on a different V20 version.

Any help would be appreciated.
[LG Optimus Black] aniym:
OK, I will reply to my own post as I ended up solving the problem :)

First, I am using a LG P970g on Canadian carrier Telus. It is known as the Optimus Black Skype Edition.

First, I downgraded my stock 2.3.4 ROM to a Froyo build (V10A EEU XXX) using SmartFlashTool. The ROM is in the link below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1448803

The previous .bin and .fls files I used were from a more recent ROM (March 2012) while the one in the above link is May 2011. Using this older one allowed me to downgrade using SFT without problems.

I then rooted using Gingerbreak, and used ROM Manager app from the app store to install CWM. Rebooted into CWM and installed the custom ROM I wanted from my SD Card.

Took me a long time to figure this out, but I did it. Very pleased.
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Check my noob how to, there is a way, of how to root EVERY ROM in the 3rd post.
[LG Optimus Black] lenyt:
I have a question about that post. It seem to require that the firmware in the phone be dumped out in kdz format (which LG Extract is mentioned to work on). There was some mention in some posts that that could be done using LG-Utils. The only LG Utils I can find is LG-Utils-0.4.2.zip but it seems to be for KP500 (KP500-Utils-EN.exe) and KS360 (KS360-Utils-EN.exe). Is this the right LG Utils? If so which exe is to be used and what command and parameters needs to be entered to get the kdz file to be used with procedure you mentioned?

Thanks,

Len
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Read the guide, there is even a link to that utility and you simply need to download your firmware in kdz format, from lg or any other server ;)
[LG Optimus Black] lenyt:
Yes, I read that post and the guide and that entire thread. The reason that I found your suggested method attractive was because you mentioned:

"To flash and actually root the SW, you need to follow THIS guide, from Step 2 on, and it will be perfectly rooted and you can be sure, that noone patched anything else in your software, cause you made it on your own."

The post and thread suggests to download the kdz file from lg-phone-firmware.com where the domain is registered to some guy named Vitiello Luigi

in France. I guess the stuff from this site is safe but it is less reassuring than getting it directly off my phone.

Len
[LG Optimus Black] lenyt:
I downloaded the kdz file for my firmware from lg-phone-firmware.com and was able to go through the process of getting a rooted version on the phone fine. The only brief head scratching moment was with the clock work mod reboot recovery menu system where when you invoke the commands which require confirmation (like installing superuser.zip) where the confirmation options show a bunch of 'No's and you have to scroll down to get to the one entry that says 'Yes'.
