[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
I don't know 100% on how wireless devices are shipped, but I find it highly unlikely that sprint buys every HTC device then sells them to bb, wf,rs,etc.

Basic supply chain would be sprint orders x number of phones and HTC delivers said quantity to sprint. Sprint pays on delivery or within 90 days.

wf,bb, and rs then also place orders directly from HTC, HTC then ships the orders directly to the processing centers for them.

I find it highly inefficient that sprint would store all devices, there are agreements that stores can't distribute merchandise performance a certain time,

Any retailer has inventories a couple days a head of time. Sprint may be shipping there orders out on Monday, and HTC is probably shipping inventory out on Monday to the rest, I suspect wf,rs, and bb already know the quantity they are getting.

HTC probably direct ships to each bb, rs store.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
Also Sprint is still taking pre-orders, I would think if they were selling out they wouldn't be pulling stock from resellers, they would be declaring the Evo sold out for the media attention.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chaosmaker2k:
This is false. Sprint doesn't ship the phones. HTC does, stop trying to scare everyone cuz you paid more than others.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Who's your Sprint source? Your cousin over at the Sprint store?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LTEvo:
Yup, what you said makes perfect sense. And I have been wondering why the hell i got up at 9am est time to preorder on Sprint. Since it is still available for preorder on their site. Clearly, they would have loved to have it be sold out.

Especially for PR purposes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FlowingAway:
I could be wrong, but I believe HTC ships them to Sprint, then Sprint to customers.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
I hear ya! I actually had my order confirmation from Sprint at 8:02AM CST that morning.... But I ended up canceling it anyway to save $100 with WF. :D

He's saying Sprint doesn't send the phones to the 3rd party retailers.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
Om Sprint owns the inventory and therefore decides where it goes
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
Yeah he's my cousin
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
I wasn't saying Sprint actually ships the phones. They do however allot them to retailers
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chaosmaker2k:
This is true. I meant that HTC ships them out to everyone that pays them. Then sprint, wiredfly, bb or whoever sends them out. Not everything to sprint then they decide who gets HTC's product
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chaosmaker2k:
Um WRONG! They only own what they ordered. Nothing else. If this was true and sprint owned all the HTC evo lte's and if they were over sold what they were expecting. Then it would be listed out of stock on their site. Just as the nexus did when the pre order sold more than they thought. Sheesh, learn how the world works. I've worked in retail for 8 years in my life.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chaosmaker2k:
WOW, this couldn't be farther from the truth. If that was the case then sprint wouldn't allow them to be sold by anyone else. Why own a product, then sell that product for $199. Then allow someone else to sell it for less? Of course none of the retailers buy it for the price they charge us. But come on man.

Oh ya my friend works for Santa Claus, well really hes my cousin and he says Christmas is going to be in June this year.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Lol!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jcwxguy:
I work at a place that sells phones and we get our supply straight from the manufacturer
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chaosmaker2k:
All wirefly orders have been delayed. I just got off the phone and internet chat with them. They told me that they were just informed that there was a delay. And they say they are contacting people. However I received no such contact. They only would say that the release date is the 18th. And it would be 2-3 weeks after they received the phones that they would be shipped. I cancelled and went with sprint. Couple of days yes, couple of weeks hell no.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Imprezed:
I like you....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
I've been following this thread. I chatted with WF twice today so far. First time, they said 2-3 weeks. I was able to get a free blue tooth for each device, but no case.

The second time, they said WITHIN 2-3 weeks, shipped according to place in queue. Could not tell me where my order was on the queue. I was able to get next day shipping though.

I called Amazon Wireless, and they expect orders to be shipped around May 21. I'm thinking about calling back and asking if they price match. If they can match the $119.99, along with the already advertised free two day shipping, I'm going to cancel WF and go with amazon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] waterbound:
Best reply ever! +1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Not sure if this means anything, but this morning my money was credited back to my credit card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
That was just the hold, they don't charge until the phone ships.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brennen.exe:
Another note for Amazon orders, or people still on the fence and willing to wait, it looks like Amazon added a $10 Google Wallet credit alongside the free shipping and price match. They also typically offer "free premium apps" from their app store, but it isn't being advertised for the LTEVO yet, though it should since the promo says "Android phones running 2.1 or later".
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
The $10 Google Wallet credit is available through Wirefly as well. It's tied to the phone, not the reseller.

For example, here is my WF invoice:

ALSO:

Looks like the delay may be out of Wirefly's hands, and may not be exclusive to wirefly:

Engadget is reporting that they are stuck in customs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Señor Poo:
Funny how many bashed WF for the delays, when in fact, they were the ones being most realistic as to when we may actually get the device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
There's no way to know if they foresaw this event, or were being delayed due to other circumstances.

So... I flashed scrosler's Stock Rooted RUU 3.14, and once that was cleanly on and working I got into amonra and cleared data, flashed Venasaur 3.1, and then in Hboot ran the 3.14 kernel again.

How did I go wrong and what's the simple fix that will get me with the pokemon? :p ~thanks <3

(I'm getting bootlooped that is)
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
You flashed an incompatible kernel. Are you s-on or s-off? If s-off just flash the Rom again in amon ra and reboot phone. No need to install a kernel it will do it for you. If s-on you need the kernel for venasaur Rom which may need to be flashed in fastboot unless someone has made it into a flammable zip. If s-on might as well take the plunge and s-off. It's a very easy process.

[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
I am S-on, as soon as I find something condutable and more reliable than a paperclip i'll probably do S-off haha

I don't think anyway has, I just time getting the image boot file off of the rom and running it in H-boot, I still get a bootloop (I'm genuinely surprised that it didn't work), that's a pretty sticky situation, i'm stuck without a phone until that's solved =(
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
I repeal that statement, taking the boot.img out and flashing it in hboot worked, wonderful! thanks =)
[HTC Rezound] ZombieCodeMonkey:
Question for you?..

Now that that you have your Venusaur 3.1 running..are you having any issues with Wifi?

I did the re-lock, android police ruu, unlock, install recovery, clean wipe x10, install venusaur 3.1, and then installed sense4 boot image for the venusaur rom. However I keep getting Wi-fi Errors, I'm guessing my wifi modules are wrong but I'm just trying to figure out where I may have messed up. I tried flashing the wifi modules provided by http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1642217 but no go...any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
well i'm fairly curious how you were able to get the sense4 boot image, it gave me a mainver error, I took the boot image out of the rom and ran that.

Which got me in, and wifi isn't giving me a problem surprisingly, but I'm now curious to how your supposed to go 3g with the new setting setup.

My Sd card also can't mount :eek: I'm not sure if that's related to 3.14 and pokemon rom or just my terrible flashing
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
Watercycle, are you still having problems? If you flashed Scott's Rom that is not an ruu. I believe you are still o n the old firmware. You will need to go to nilsp business Rom in the development section and download the old firmware patch (i think it's in the 4th post) then flash in amon ra. You should be set after that.

sent from my Clean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
actually I flashed scott's 3.14 deodex and old firmware patch + boot img before flashing the pokemon and pokemon boot img :p

I'm currently only struggling with the issue of sd card mount now
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
The patch may still be on your sd card from Scott then and if not go to the thread I suggested. Just boot to recovery and flash the patch again. You will need that patch for any ics Rom you run because you are still on gb firmware. Don't panic your almost there.

sent from my Clean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
how can you tell if your on old gb firmware? =( since it still boots up and works

darnit I thought i was on ics after that full ruu =o

so after having flashed the pokemon in Hboot i flash the old firmware again? (i'm scared it will bootloop me because i finally got it working haha)
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
I briefly searched the venasaur thread (which you can do to) and found most people having WiFi issues either had the wrong kernel or just reset their router and bam, WiFi works. I can't help you anymore then that so you may want to ask in that thread.

Edit: did you unzip the Rom and get the boot.IMG there or did you download seperate? If you didn't unzip and take it out of the Rom then try that. You should be good.

This

will flashing the old gingerbread fix my sd mounting or break everything?

sorry I have to be more direct, gotta get some sleep now =)
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
I think so
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
It will fix your sd card. You never ran the ruu if all you flashed was Scott's rooted, deodexd Rom. If you get with me tomorrow I can walk you through the ruu but I think at that point you might as well s-off. Time to find that wire;)

sent from my Clean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
If you could see your sd card on Scott's Rom it was because of the patch. Make sure you report back. I need some sleep.

Okay...

I re-locked my bootloader using the usual, fastboot oem lock.

then I download the full leaked RUU from Android Police, androidpolice.com/2012/05/07/exclusive-download-htc-rezound-ice-cream-sandwich-build-3-14-605-5-brings-a-handful-of-fixes-and-newer-radios/"

Booted to Hboot with that file on the SD card in the proper name, completely flashed the phone with the Leaked RUU

Once OS loaded, rebooted back to fastboot and used hTcdev.com to unlocked my bootloader again. (I do not have S-Off yet).

Then I downloaded and flashed through fastboot commands the TWRP 2.1.1. Touchscreen recovery.

Once this was done, I downloaded and installed Venusaur 3.1.0 through recovery after performing scot's superwipe x10,

Then fastboot flashed the boot.img for the sense 4.0 roms.

Wi-Fi does not turn on at all...It will state Turning on...but not to long after will give error.

So after all of that I tried grabbing the wifi module.zip from one of the stock rom de-odexed rooted 3.14.605.5 roms, and tried flashing that through recovery and manually adding the file through root explorer..nothing.

Hope that helps clarify.

Also i would through an inquiry to there thread but I don't have enought posts yet to post in development.
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
Why are you not s-off? Makes life much easier. What I have concluded is that you need to start over. You have the wrong kernel. Wipe everything then flash the Rom in recovery. You will have had to unzip the Rom on your pc then take the boot.IMG out and flash this in fastboot to the phone. I don't think there is a ph.zip file for this. There are very good directions if you search that thread.

[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
Sorry guys but it's bed time. If you both follow those directions you should be fine. If not get with me in the morning.

[HTC Rezound] ZombieCodeMonkey:
I will start from scratch again...I would like to add however that my kernel version on my rezound does match that that is on the android police and prior to the venusaur installation....

If you are still awake, let me ask...do you think if I pulled the boot.img file out of the zip file from the leaked 3.14 fastboot flashed this...then re-flashed the sense4 boot img think this will resolve my issue?

I may start with a clean wipe then the rooted rom for the 3.14, then move to another Sense 4.0 ROM, and finally back to the venusaur...

I did check the md5 on all the ROMs and files...prior to running them...
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
I think/know you were right. the old firmware flash fixed the ad card. ugh I can't believe I mistook that flash as being a run install.

so now I question if it's beneficial for me to go redo it and get soff
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
Glad it worked. It is absolutely beneficial because there will be no more flashing the boot.IMG separately.

sent from my Clean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
Lusten, I have no clue why you are doing any of this? All you need is to wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, then flash the Rom of choice and the boot.IMG for that Rom. Stop flashing the leak and its boot.IMG, it has nothing to do with what you are trying to accomplish. You need to unzip the rom on your pc and use only that boot.IMG found with the Rom, it has been modified for that Rom and right now no other boot.IMG will get WiFi working. If none of this makes sense I will hold your hand in a few hours when I'm home and at my pc. It would save a lot of time if you would do your homework first next go around.

sent from my Clean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
yeah, now I should technicaly relock and reflash the actual ruu leak?

s-off sounds nice, but only if it's necessary, i'm willing to put 2 extra minutes into hboot
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
Theres no reason to still be s-on. Let's say you run the ruu then ICS is officially released tomorrow, a few things can happen. You may not be able to accept the ota, you can't ever go backwards, or the s-off exploit is patched. As long as you follow directions s-off is easy and then leaves the phone open for whatever direction you want to take it.

Zombie, did you get your problems sorted out?

sent from my Clean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
so snow, not to drive you nuts, but. Since I never really left GB, could I just relock and flash the real thing? hehe

the relock branding is pointless considering s-off brands itself onto it anyway, in time there will most likely be a way to remove them I figure :rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
Your honestly better s-off. If you look through these threads all the people still having problems are s-on. Not sure how long the devs will support that. After s-off your phone will say locked, you can then flash whatever the current firmware and Rom combo is currently stock then s-on send it on for warranty and no one will know the difference. I don't want to tell you you have to do it but it works. If you still just want the ruu I suggest going to scottsroms.com he has excellent directions in the rezound>cleanrom standard/pro>guides: prepping with ruu. The short answer is: relock, flash ruu, unlock, flash recovery. Please read and ask before jumping the gun as you may wind up in the same boat you just got out of but with bigger problems. And don't forget that this will wipe your internal sd card so back up anything you want to keep.

[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
will S-off be a problem flashing the newest leak?

or is it only the bootloader locking that matters?

cause I found that wire =)
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want the venasaur Rom or the new leak build?

sent from my Clean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
i'm shooting for getting on the new leak (3.14) and then flashing the pokemon =o

(for the S-off I assume I should download the GB version)
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
So I tried S-off, once i'm at the part with the logo in the center of screen, the device is no longer being picked up by the computer, and I have no idea why, so I go "eh" and try to go into bootloader for the custom recovery to flash the backups, well custom recovery got removed and there is 0 connection between the phone and PC to give it the files to run in Hboot.

I'm lost, this didn't follow the ideological process I heard so many others suggest :( this is kind of what I expected, more grief and possibly ruining the phone compared to wasting 5 extra minutes on a separate kernel flash
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
Did you read any of the threads? Where exactly are you at with this? Try restarting the computer, this should allow the phone to be seen again. Then flash amon ra 3.15 in fastboot. Did you get s-off or no? If i remember correctly I had to flash both recovery and restore my rom afterwards. If you hadnt jumped the gun I was going to s-on and walk you through it. If you cant get any further go to either the s-off is officail or s-off FAQ thread and start looking for answers there. You should get more attention there too.
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
awh crap I didn't realize you were going to do that, would've been much easier to follow than to trip in the dark.

I'll try restarting my computer first, at this point I have no custom recovery, I was 1 step before the wire trick, in which it checks for the device in adb, but that failed and everything went downhill
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
Well the USB driver will show up if I sit in the screen that says "juopunutBear" in the center, but i'm not sure how I can recovery with that
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
First try getting s-off because the process will wipe recovery. Then let me know where your at.

the cmd prompt got stuck on finding the adb device, It never said use the wires yet so I'm guessing that's not an option

to be specific, the command prompt kept repeating the adb device search, mentioned something about flashboot drivers and hardware

If I try rerunning controlbear it just says "connect device and install drivers ~ press enter to exit" and that's where it ends
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
The jb program needs to have the phone start while actually on with a rom loaded. So maybe you need to update your fastboot drivers and did you have usb debugging checked before you attemted this?
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
I was finally able to get fastboot to reinstall the amonra, now i'm considering what step to take
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
do you have gtalk? this would be much easier in real time.

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

"loading...ph98img.zip"

it has the proper extension name, and is on my internal and external because I wasn't sure which was which, idk what to do, i'm out of a phone for tonight, don't feel like reflashing the pokemon rom just to mess it up again tomorrow XD

relock or unlock makes no difference in the "no image"
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
Yes that sounds right it just needs to go through a second part of the install process so when it goes back to hboot hit power again and let it do its thing. I achived s-off on the previous leak not sure it matters.
