[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsfis:
Hi everyone!

I got this EVO 4G from a friend and so the phone is basically in an unknown state. He said it may have been programmed for T-Mobile or one of the other carriers at one time but it was put back (whatever that means).

He tried to have it activated at Sprint but he could never get data working and supposedly Sprint CS refused to help him - rather they tried to get him to trade the phone in for a newer model. So he gave the phone to me.

It is my thought that I would flash the phone with a known stock ROM to put it back into a factory state. This is where I've been having trouble.

I'm a complete noob at this so I have been trying to use the sticky posts here without luck. The first thing I tried was to just use the recovery in HBOOT without any changes to the phone. This failed as all I got was the a black screen with the picture of the EVO overlaid with a Red Triangle and exclamation point.

After that I loaded a stock image onto the sd card ( stock/supersonic/ruu/3.70.651.1/PC36IMG.zip[/url] ) but I had not luck here because it complained that the current image was newer than the one I was trying to load. It never gave me any option to load the image...

I just want to load the most up to date stock image on the phone without the possibility of ruining the phone. ( I assume that this is the best course of action rather that attempting to configure all the phone settings manually) Can anyone point me in the right direction - preferable with complete instructions?

I can really use some help! Below is some info on the current software of the phone...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
The red triangle with an exclamation point is the default recovery loaded onto the phone. Also, looking at the information you provided it looks like the phone isnt rooted at all. Do the out of box system recovery again and let it do it's thing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
Try this one:

http://tinyw.in/OqfQ

Place in main folder of SD card, rename to PC36IMG.zip, boot into boot loader and say yes. Make sure you delete any other pc36img's first.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsfis:
Thanks Concordium. For some reason I thought the red triangle was an error condition.

I powered on the phone holding the volume down key. When I selected recovery... I got the red triangle again but let it go as you said. It stayed like this for about twenty mind without change. I looked again in the forums for info about the red triangle. It said to press the volume up key and power key. This put me into the Android system recovery <3e> screen

There is a choice to... Wipe data/factory reset. This seems like the right wat to go but there is also an error displayed so I'm hesitant to proceed. Down below the greyed out red triangle it reads in yellow text... E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

This seems troubling. I don't know its referring to the sd card or the device itself. Also, when I got this phone there was no sd card in it. I'm using one I pulled out of my old mogul with wm6.1.. don't know if aneroid stores recovery or configure info on sd card at all.

Should I go ahead and run the wipe data facory reset... is that recovery?

Thanks!

[HTC One X] hannibal2469:
Hi guys

does anyone know how to completely turn off the screen without going to standby.

i am asking this coz i want to listen to only the audio of some of my video files and i dont want the screen to suck the battery life
[HTC One X] Albert Poon:
Hm... Set the brightness to lowest for workaround...
[HTC One X] h00py:
Use an app called wakelock on the play store and select the first option "PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl
[HTC One X] hannibal2469:
Setting the brightness to lowest does not work

and how does the wakelock thing work ??
[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
Just change the sleep setting to never in display menu.
[HTC One X] hannibal2469:
NO that does not work
[HTC One X] treebill:
Not being rude but if you want just the audio why not convert them to an audio file? Then you can just turn the screen off.

There loads for windows/mac/linux and even a few for android.
[HTC One X] hannibal2469:
yeah that is one solution but i really want to know how to turn off the screen with video still playing, cause i dont want to have both audio and video files separately for the same media file
[HTC One X] h00py:
This app has a play in background option which should be what you're looking for :cool:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shea-bird:
so at the bottom of the screen while on lightly colored pages (settings menu), it looks like there are little flashlights shining out from behind the buttons. if you hold the phone straight up and down, and try to look "down" behind the buttons, you can really see the "flashlight" effect. they are uniform in size and protrude about 1mm or so up into the screen (very hard to notice but when looking for easy to see). let me reiterate that this is only noticeable on lighter colored pages, like the settings menu...and they are only at the bottom of the screen.

is this normal?!!!

I think I am being picky, as I do see this to some extent on other LCD screens but for some reason it just stood out more on this phone to me...

here's a picture

thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
normal, just the backlight
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] checkride:
Wow I do have them too. I think they're negligible though because I would've never even notice if you didn't show me haha.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
Unfortunately, this sounds like light leakage. Not sure if all HTC One X's have it. My Evo 4G had it. Could be part of HTC phones? Not sure, someone would have to confirm.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wrxdrunkie:
That is normal
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] equlizer:
Got it too. I noticed it the first few mins i had the phone. Didnt have it on my SGSII though. Sometimes i think i shouldnt have upgraded yet.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Stay Frosty:
The One X is an LCD screen while the SII is an LED screen. What you are seeing is the backlights of the screen. Every screen tech has its pros/cons.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shea-bird:
so essentially this is normal...I guess for piece of mind I will run to the store and check the display models to make sure mine isn't any "worse" than usual.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
They all don't do it. 100% brightness using a black background from LCD Tester.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shea-bird:
mine only does it on lighter colored pages...doesn't affect black screens on mine either.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
White.

White (w/o the settings bar)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chaosjh:
mine looks like this, max brightness, black or white. but this is straight down. if i look at an angle like i'm looking under the screen i can see the lights...barely. yours may have a worse case but it is there, just not so much on mine.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

mine shows at this angle, but far less than op.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shea-bird:
nvm, it is also noticeable on a black screen...also, just found a dead pixel...phone goes back tomorrow..will be my 3rd in two days (first one had a funky color thing going on in the screen- went from warm at the top to cool at the bottom)...bahh, I hate doing this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
Of what? From OP's pics you can see the backlight visibly showing at the bottom of the display. I'm assuming it's more visible in person otherwise he wouldn't have posted. I don't see it on mine no matter what angle I'm viewing the phone at. If this was never an issue than I guess it doesn't really matter anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chaosjh:
worse case than mine i guess. i thought at first mine was like yours, even my camera was taking pictures like yours. but i can truly see it at a curtain angle, just barely. take your phone and slowly angle it, at about 30-40 degrees it mirrors off something and can be seen. i can't see it on black, but on white i can on max brightness, it seems to dissappear at about 80-85% or lower brightness.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
Let me try again. On my phone, at every conceivable angle, in a dark room, on light and dark backgrounds, the backlight is

not

visible. And if I rotate the screen, it's not visible from the top either. OP on the other hand can clearly see the backlight showing through because he sees it with the naked eye and was able to photograph it.

There’s one other thing to consider. My phone has an Acer display. Quite a few people have posted they have Sony displays. If OP has a Sony display there’s a possibility that they all look like what OP posted.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Bigjim1488:
Damn I want an acer display phone :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] designgears:
of course you can't see it with a dark background, the lcd is doing what it is supposed to do and blocks the light... just like you can see them when you have light colors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fallendreams:
Just Notice i posted this in the wrong section :mad: My bad ill ask for mod to move it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Look at the water contact indicator under the battery and see if it is red. A wet apply screen protector should not have caused this, but be careful to not let water get in the speaker and crevices when applying. In the future if your phone does come in contact with water or condensation remove the battery and sim Immediately and place in dry rice for 24 hours, do not try to power it on. Many others are reporting wifi instability, check the threads for solutions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fallendreams:
Edited.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Looks like your good to me, I don't see any red.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fallendreams:
Do you think Samsung will find anything ? Sorry for all the questions. The lens on the front camera was white. Is there stickers inside the phone where the CPU is :confused:

I heard there was like 3 water indicators in the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
That I couldn't tell you, I've never taken the phone apart so I would only be guessing. You might could find out by looking for a "tear down" of the phone, there should be several online if you do a Google search. Is the phone continuing to function well for you? Besides the wifi?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fallendreams:
Yeah its been running great. Just got off the phone with Samsung. I think i just keep this phone. I don't want to pay for repair cost's. If the phone dies in month then i guess it was water damage. I hope there's no corrosion on PCB. I would love to take it apart but i don't want to void the warranty to check. Is there warranty Sticker in there ? :confused:

The wifi thing might be my fault. My laptop does that sometimes too. I'm just freaking out. I love the phone. I don't want it too die. Just ran a CPU stability test for about 15mins. No errors the battery was at 42c temp. Went ahead and sut the phone down. Going to wait 15 mins then turn it back on.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkillusions19:
i tried this ROM(stock) before but for some reason i get boot loops and can't access recovery even after following the instructions and met all of the requirements. do i need to download and install first Experience ROM first before this one or this ROM is a standalone like other roms where you can install it right away? since it says that it's a w8 MOD.. :)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
Saw a thread a while back asking about the super-cool Ubuntu for Android on the Vivid. Unfortunately, we'll probably never see this for the Vivid, but we do have a comparable alternative...

Using the images from the Linux on Android Project we can run a virtual instance of Ubuntu and VNC into it.

This will probably work on any ROM, so long as you're rooted with busybox.

Before we start, install android-vnc-viewer and Android Terminal Emulator. Other VNC / Terminal apps will probably work, but the following instructions will be for these apps, specifically.

Okay, now...

Make an "ubuntu" directory on your SD card (internal/external, doesn't matter. You'll need at least 3 gigs of space though). For the purpose of these instructions, I'll refer to it as /sdcard/ubuntu.

Grab this script and unzip it as /sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.sh

Then download either (or both, whatever) the full-sized, Gnome-based image, or the smaller, LXDE image. Unzip as /sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.img

Open up Terminal Emulator, type "su" and hit enter. A superuser prompt will pop up (or that SuperSU thing, whatever you use). Accept/Agree/Whatever to allow root.

Now you're at a root shell. Go to your ubuntu directory by typing "cd /sdcard/ubuntu" (/sdcard/ext_sd/ubuntu for external card) and pressing enter.

Type "sh ubuntu.sh" and hit enter. This will start the launch script.

When it asks for a screen resolution, type "960x540" (the resolution of the Vivid).

A bunch of stuff will fill the terminal. When you see "root@localhost:/#", celebrate! You have Ubuntu running!

Now, unless you want CLI only... hit your home button (leave terminal running in the background) and launch android-vnc-viewer.

Enter whatever for the nickname, and the following settings:

Password: ubuntu

Address: localhost

Port: 5900

Color Format: 24-bit color (4 bpp)​

Now click "Connect" in the top-left corner. Hopefully you'll see Ubuntu! Now add a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and an MHL, and proceed to rubbing it in your Apple-fanboy-friends faces.

When you're done, head back into Android Terminal Emulator and type "exit".

NOTES:

I don't take credit for any of this. This is 100% Zachary Powell et al @ the Linux on Android Project.

I really don't see how anyone could screw a phone up with this, but standard disclaimer applies. I'm not responsible for anything, anywhere, ever.

This post is kind of long, but this is really super easy. Good luck!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombie.raised:
The problem is this need this loop support in the kernel and none of the kernel people in this thread responded to my request for it.

Kernel stuff was not my cup of tea so never could get this running
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
Works perfect on Virtuous, which uses the Faux kernel. I don't know of any kernels that DON'T support loopback, which is why I said it should work on just about any ROM. Haven't tested on any others though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Did this aeons ago. It works flawlessly, but the GUI is mad slow. Works fine for command-line business, though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
Cool story. It's been out for less than six months, but I guess that could be aeons. This is for people who haven't seen it.

Also, the GUI is extremely fast. With an MHL it's totally usable as a full computer. Did you try with LXDE?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
I just realized that we are not talking about the exact same thing.

This has existed for aeons (Feb 1 2011). Same theory and application, but based on Karmic 9.10 and very slow indeed.

Hmm, might have to give this one a try.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
Yea, ran that on my old X10. Bad hardware + bad implementation. This is 10.10, and they have a working beta for 12.10.

The LOA project really got it right. Especially running LXDE. Gnome is obviously slower.

IMO it's a good replacement for the official Ubuntu project.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Archector:
It would be nice to install a custom arch linux or a debian netinstall with only the necessary things to work, fluxbox, xfce, lxde or some lightwheight desktop manager and see what happens. With the micro usb 2 hdmi cable and attached to a big screen it would be a real killer.

With some time I can prepare a custom debian or arch linux image to our devices.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
The micro usb to hdmi is an MHL adapter. And yes, it makes it awesome.

LOA has a working debian image (http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/Debian/Image/) and are working on Arch.

A bare bones Arch installation with LXDE would be amazing, but alas, I have no spare time for side-projects anymore =(. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one very appreciative if you could put it together.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
I'm personally thinking about doing a portable HDD installation of a completely barebones Ubuntu from CLI, and just dropping pure XFCE on it. I think I've just found my testing platform. :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
I just made the switch from Mint Debian Edition to Arch. I love it, but I just can't get used to XFCE. Gnome 3 is just too awesome.

However, if I had Arch with LXDE / XFCE on the Vivid, I would probably replace a few computers with Monitor+Keyboard+Mouse+MHL terminals.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
I like Gnome 2 and 3. LXDE has a few issues with the way it runs hardware (primarily its ability to manage laptop touchpads) as tested on Lubuntu 11.10, and that's when I made the switch to using XFCE instead. I'm not really a fan of Unity.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Nottach:
Anybody know why I get this error when running the scripy?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
No, that's strange. Have you tried with the Terminal Emulator from OP?

And I know it shouldn't matter, but try cd'ing into /sdcard/ubuntu and then trying to execute the sh.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Nottach:
Same result with terminal/cding, :confused:.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mjones307:
Try better terminal emulator app that worked for me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Nottach:
Same result. 'qt' isn't even in the script so I don't know what's up. I can run other other scripts np.

hey guys i have a gnex with an otterbox defender on it. i want to get a dock for my computer preferably with an hdmi and a charging port possibly sound output. is there such a thing? i dont want to have to take the otterbox off everytime i want to dock my phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rmcsc:
I highly, highly, highly doubt it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
Well there some aftermarket docks that work with phone in cases, and you can use MHL adapter for the HDMI thing..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matridom:
It will be a bit of work, however, I'm planning on doing something similar. (otterbox commuter)

I have a slip-grip car mount, I'll be frankensteining a charging circuit onto it. I will extend out the pogo pins to small copper tabs on the back of the otterbox, have matching contacts on the slipgrip. Since i sync blue-tooth with the car, I don't care about hdmi/audio out. When all said and done, it's going to be a "no wires" connection to the car dock.

The electronics are being figured out here.

Alternatively you could by a standard OEM desk dock, take out the electronics and rebuild your own desk dock with somehow extending out the pogo pins, this option would give you SDPIF out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rmcsc:
Yes, some docks do work with phone cases but we're talking about an Otterbox here. Those and, say, Ballistic cases don't usually fit docks without outputs. Of course, OP could go with a simple dock and an MHL adapter, but I don't believe it's that exactly that he's looking for.

I'm curious if anyone has seen the insides of the US version of the One S yet...any idea if we'll be able to get into the innards and replace that little 16 GB card with a 32 or 64, the way I was able to on my HD7?

Any indication would be appreciated...I'll definitely be interested in doing so if it's technically viable.

[HTC One S] psych0t1c:
I have pondered the same thing myself, but there two strong indications that this won't happen:

a) The HTC One X teardowns (which is even thicker than our HOS) show no such slot, but a memory chip directly soldered on the mainboard / PCB

b( the measured speeds indicate that this seems to a different kind of memory, not just some simple plugin card

To be honest, with the current HTC policy I fully expect to see a "upgrade" to come to market in a few months that has a larger memory. Similar to the Sensation models SE / XL or whatever they were salled HTC might beef up the shelves with a HTC One SE or SL or something sporting the same processor but a higher capacity of storage.
