[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epic_image:
So i just tried flashing the V6 supercharger script on aokp 35.2. I am on the stock kernel.

The thing is that it breaks my data connections. My 3G connection never starts up. It would show 3G is connected but i have no connection.. even if i change it to wifi. It would connect but again no data connections.

When i go ahead and remove the script.. everything works fine.

Anyone had this issue and was able to solve it?

When it asks you to super clean and restart did you? I remember having a similar problem caused by not having clean and reboot when it asked.

Ahh don't flash that on AOKP 35.2.

The AIO is for Beta2 at the moment. I'll fix it soob.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
Odin will bluescreen XP if it's running in a VirtualBox guest, but not after sending just enough to the phone to corrupt something. If you happened to be flashing your bootloader, congratulations, you just bricked your phone. Thankfully it wasn't the bootloader I was flashing and I can still get the phone into Odin mode; I'm gonna try to recover it when I get home to my Win7 desktop machine.

Heimdall does not support the Captivate Glide yet, and I tried Odin in Wine -- it doesn't see the phone. For the time being you *NEED* a native Windows machine to root the Glide -- the usual workarounds simply don't work.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bobbinthreadbare:
You should NEVER flash or do anything with your phone without a proper setup. Heck, I wouldn't even flash without being on a laptop (for the battery) or a comp connected to a UPS.

This is good information to know but it would be incredibly stupid to flash while using an emulated OS. If you're on Linux or Mac, go to a friends house with Windows. It simply isn't worth the risk.

Thanks for the confirmation and to everyone else-don't do it. Just do things the right way.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
It's a locally hosted VM running on a laptop, so yeah, I had the battery backup ;)

I've done this before with other devices and this is the first time I've run into an issue where the VM actually broke things enough to corrupt stuff on the phone. Every other time it's been either, it went off without a hitch, or I can't quite bridge the connection from the host to the VM. Even from a theory standpoint, hey, companies use VMs for critical server systems. There's nothing dicey about a VM, at least until you run into a weird bug like this.

It's just that in this particular case, in the particular combination of Odin, XP guest, and Ubuntu host, something goes horribly wrong insidie the VM and crashes out XP. Actually, it's worse than that -- my XP VM won't boot anymore. What the hell happened.... gotta be a bug in VirtualBox.

Oh well. Hey, that's the whole point of recovery mode, right? ;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bobbinthreadbare:
Definitely just use a PC running Windows. It sounds like you know what you're doing but if you're flashing recovery or a radio image, theres no point in the extra risk. If you're just doing a ROM and already have recovery there, you should be fine because you can always drop a new ROM on the SD and reinstall from there.

I've never bricked a phone myself but I do all of my friends phones. I think the scariest I've had was upgrading WinMo on my friends old Blackjack from 5.5 to 6.5. The official flash program froze at 85% or so. I let it sit for an extra hour and was almost sure it would be bricked but thankfully once I pulled the battery on it, it booted right up to 6.5.

But things like that happening..I wouldn't even mess around with an emulated OS and pushing a flash of recovery or something. Best to just be safe and go to a friends house if you have to.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ericpeacock79:
I'm curious if you would have had better results is you were using VMWare instead of Virtualbox.

I've not used Virtualbox before, but I've read that VMWare has superior performance and hardware pass-thru.

I use VMWare a LOT (like a whole, whole lot), and I've never had any sort of trouble with the hardware pass-thru.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
I didn't have any passthrough problems with VirtualBox either... until I got this phone. It's a really oddball corner case. I wonder if Odin does something weird with the Windows USB drivers...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] benwaffle:
what i did was run parallels on mac, with a Windows 7 guest to flash rooted rom and then CWMR. now i just put the zip to flash on my sdcard which i can access fine on mac.
[HTC Sensation] merwin:
Anyone else notice that the new T-Mobile ICS firmware is incompatible with mods like Leedroid Tweaks, as well as incompatible with the bricked kernel? The menubar crashes repeatedly with Leedroid Tweaks, and the bricked kernel bricked WiFi for me :)

I am slowly adding some tweaks into my own build, like init.d support, build.prop tweaks, GPS tweaks, etc... but there are some things that are better left to the experts... like kernels and framework modification.
[HTC Sensation] PanCubano:
The rom is probably odex'd. You'd have to de-odex the rom to many some framework changes.

Kernel I'm not sure.
[HTC Sensation] merwin:
I solved one of the problems... I flashed an insecure boot image (from the ARHD 6.6.4 zip) using the 4-EXT Recovery Control app, then flashed the bricked kernel. All seems good there.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Settings and framework apks are not the same as the euro 3.32. Leedroid tweaks will not work even on a deodexed build...

The tweaks will need to be rebuilt around the new release to work properly...
[HTC Sensation] merwin:
Gotcha... It will be nice when it is rebuilt. I miss my EQS and MIUI battery bar :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JuggernautGray:
If you are a current Sprint customer under contract and want to get the new EVO 4g LTE for less then outright buying it, then you should use the "Sprint Early Upgrade Buyout Program"

The way it works is if you have 12 months or less on your contract you can pay a fee to end your contract early. By ending your contract, you can do a new 2year contract and get the discounted price.

Fee Amounts:

9-11 months = $165

12-14 months = $125

15-17 months = $95

18-21 months = $55

22-24 months = $35

Over 24 months = $0

So if you have 9-11 months on your contract (you will pay the most) you will pay $165.

$165 Early Term Fee

+

199

Price of E4GLTE on a 2 year contract

$365 before taxes

$549 (E4GLTE Off Contract)

-

$365

(Early buy out program/ most expensive scenario)

$184 is what you will save

I paid $115 a week ago and I was 12 months out from my upgrade date.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] id_twin:
Although I believe the time frames are correct, the dollar amounts aren't - For instance, my upgrade is June 1st, and for me to buy out it would have been $45. Also while speaking to Sprint, they made it seem like the time frame was only within 4 months, but I don't think that was true.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
I thought with their new program you can get new customer equipment pricing at 20 months???

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SITH16:
I know this is true in part because they wouldn't allow me to upgrade the other phone on my line before may, which was exactly 24 months after purchase and I know a few people that have called and they were offered early buyout.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
I did this a week ago. Paid $45 to buy out 4 months.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Maybe the buyout is necessary on family plans where the upgrade is not being done on the primary line?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JuggernautGray:
It has been conformed that the price are not dead on that I posted, they seem to be cheaper. But I can conform that i have 11 month on my current contract and i did buy out for $113. I can conform that if you have 12 months or less on your contract you can use this program.

When you call you have to speak to a customer service rep. If you talk to one of the other department it is know telling what they will tell you. One lady told me i had to drive to a store in my state that was 2 hours from where I live????? I just called back and talked to a customer service rep.

This is very market-specific

Quincy M: Please elaborate your concern so that I may better assist you.

You: I know there's a program, called Early Upgrade Buyout Program, I want to take advantage of that

Quincy M: Ok, Let me check as we have this special promotional program at specific locations only.

Quincy M: I have located that information for you , to take part in this program you need to call the Account Services team on 888 211 4727 and they will assist you further with the early upgrade buyout, I recommend that you call them right away please.

You: Can you confirm that my location is eligible?

Quincy M: Sure, let me check

Quincy M: I apologize, Brooklyn is not a part of the promotion but you may Speak to them and I am sure they will do all they can to assist you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SITH16:
Great info, I may be able to use my 3d to knock the $199 price down to $109 and pay the early buy out. Next month should be my 12th month on this contract. Then instead of using the other phone on my line to get the LTE I can just get two new phones. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

I'm willing to bet if you call them they would do it even outside of the market. It doesn't hurt them at all cause its like adding money to what you paid for the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Meanee:
Called them multiple times. No go. Even after throwing hints that I've been with them for 10 years.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tahde:
I just spoke with account services and I got it taken care of for $85. Is for my wife, but had to do on one of my other lines. Will just swap to hers after we get device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
I live in Minnesota and called them three times on Tuesday. Each time they confirmed the program but that I needed to complete it at a corporate store which is only 5-10 minutes from me. (That's why I kept calling. I was hoping someone would do it over the phone) It can not be done at a Sprint store which is not corporate. I think there are 2 or 3 corporate stores near me and like 10+ non-corporate (which also includes places like Radio Shack or Sam's Club). One rep also confirmed my location to make sure the program was available in my area.

Doesn't really matter for me now since there are no phones left to preorder which means I need to get it in a store when it's released. I'll just go to one of the corporate stores. I was willing to pay full price last week(then found out about this program) so whatever hoops I jump through to save a few hundred bucks this week is worth it to me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JDM Civic EG8:
I did this last week,talked to account services they told me my area wasn't elgible. but there is a program in my area for upgrade now it ends the 17th in store. But can only preorder the EVO LTE online. So I called retentions told them I wanted to upgrade early she offered the buyout for $95. So now I'm elgible and waiting for the EVO to drop.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mr Ian B:
Thanks for this thread. I am only 7 months with my epic touch 4g and they reset my upgrade with $165 and will do a preorder at BB once it shows in the system. I was going to pay full retail off contract until I saw this thread and gave it a shot. Went to BB and the girl said to wait till Monday to preorder and get the $50 gc. She said that if phone comes out after the galaxy 3 for Sprint, I can cancel preorder on Evo lte and get the GS3 instead.

Thanks everyone,

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
I also called and bought it out for 115$.

I had to do an insurance claim..they are sending me a (gag) e4gt because the 3d is no longer available..Sprint even credited my account to cover the 100$ asurion fee if I stayed. So all in all I'm still out a little money, but I get to upgrade early.

Glad they did because I'm currently using the AT&T One X and while the phone is sweet..I get NO signal lol. Thank goodness I can return it in 30 days..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niv3d:
How long is this program going on?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zeron89:
Just did this, had 221 days (about 7mths left) she asked How did I find out about this? I said online. She was very nice, she said not all accounts are able to this. But mine was. Paid 85$ for the remaining days. Thanks to the OP for this post, I called before and they said I would have to travel to a store that does this, blah blah. And I gave up. This time from reading this post I just talked to someone else. Done! New phone here I come!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I have the EVO 3D and they said I could buy out my contract which ends Nov. 1st for $65. I JUMPED ON THAT ****! Now I'm eligible for the upgrade and I'm selling my 3D and should get atleast $150 for it on eBay. Score! Now where to buy the EVO LTE from with the best deal?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Harfainx:
Here is the experience I had with trying this...

First, I upgraded for my EVO3D, so my actual contract goes to something like June 21st, 2013 or so (two years after the EVO 3D release date).

First call was to regular customer service:

Her: "Yeah... we discontinued that on May 18th. You can't use it, as we don't offer it anymore"

Me: "Well that doesn't sound right. I have two co-workers that got approved for that just yesterday" (this was a lie, but I wasn't about to say that I found out on XDA).

Her: "Well either they are lying to you, or someone made a mistake".

That basically ended that call.

Second call was to account services:

Him: "Sorry, but we only have that targeted to specific markets. None of your locations were meant to participate in that promotion. There is really nothing you can do other than either buy the phone for full price from a third party, or start a new line and then shuffle the phones and the plans around."

(I have lived in like five states in the past few years, he said that he checked all of my states)

Third call was to retention:

Him: "I'm sorry, but I can't do anything to upgrade you at this time."

Me: "Nothing at all? You can't help me out? I'm getting pretty tired of Sprint cutting different things left and right. One of the primary reasons that I have been on Sprint for so long is the old annual upgrade that you offered for the primary line. (I've been on Sprint for a looooong time)

Him: "I'm sorry, but that is no longer a part of our service. It is unfortunate, but if you wish to continue, you will have to pay $315 to disconnect both lines today. Would you like to proceed?"

This has not been fun... Not at all. I'm still on pre-order status for my full price 4G LTE with Amazon. I have considered changing to another company, but it just doesn't seem worth it. I really am getting sick of Sprint taking things away. I hope for their sake that they don't try to take away their "unlimited" plan.

TL;DR version: No good for me here. They would not allow me to upgrade this way.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] migpol08:
Does anyone know if this is available in Portland, OR?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MrsHoneyDip:
I just called from Jackson, MS and asked for account services. I paid $75 to upgrade with no problems. I wasn't eligible til Dec 1 otherwise. I had a great experience.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Wth 75 im deff calling my upgradebisnt till July
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
So it must be $10/month for every month you still have. I was Nov and was 65 and yours was 75 in Dec.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
What number did you guys call retentions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I called 1-800-639-6111 and told them i hate my EVO 3D (lie) and I want the upgrade and it worked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sn0b0ard:
Call this number 877-775-4886. A representative will pick up almost immediately. If you are on SERO, make sure you tell them that and it should not be a problem. Ask nicely if you can get an early upgrade. When they say that you have to wait, then you ask them if there's anything else you can do, such as buy out the remaining length of your contract. That's how you do it.

I ended up doing this on 05/07 with about 1 year left on my contract. The total was $115 dollars, and the very nice rep. I was speaking with gave me suggestions on how to negate the cost of the early upgrade buyout by sending my old phone back to sprint for a $100 credit. It took approximately 1-2 business days for them to reset my upgrade eligibility.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Sweet it worked now to go.to bb and preorder lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sn0b0ard:
Congrats! Hope you enjoy your new phone :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
You best to call around to multiple ones because some aren't taking anymore pre orders.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MrsHoneyDip:
I just dialed 611 from my phone and asked the first person that answered to transfer me to account services. She asked why and I said to upgrade. When account services answered, I asked if I was eligible for the early upgrade buyout. She said sure, $75 on next bill and $36 whenever I get the new phone activated. Took about 2 hrs for the upgrade to show up. My friend who works at sprint said the lte will be stores Friday, so that's when I'm getting mine. Can't wait.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] robber:
This is the number to call for sure. Entire call took less than 2 minutes.

Does anyone know if I can I use this method to cancel one of my lines at a cheaper rate then their etf?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jshawjr:
I had six months left on my current contract and wanted to upgrade to the 4G LTE. I called the Sprint Retention Department and they honored the Early Upgrade Buyout Program and only charged me $45 per line on my family plan. They also waived the $36 activation fees on all lines. However, they only gave me a week to make a decision, since my billing cycle ended in a week as well. The upgrade was available on my account in less than 2 hours. Only problem is, no one has any stock at the current time...waiting!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ky0nkyon:
I'd like to know this as well. Thanks in advance!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
Finally, fourth time calling and I got it taken care of for $65. My contract was up on 1/8/13. I was originally eligible for upgrade in 152 days on 11/1/12. They must allow you to upgrade two months early normally or something.

Anyway, $65 for an upgrade 6 months early is a hell of a deal to me, especially when I was considering paying full price.

I dialed 611 from my Sprint phone. The key to my success this time was immediately asking to speak with someone from account services like was mentioned in this thread. I didn't know to do that before so my call was never escalated past the first person who would continue to tell me I had to go into a corporate store to get it done. This guy asked if I would tell him why I wanted to talk to account services and I said it was about an upgrade. He continued to dig a little asking if he could help me and I said "actually, it is about the early upgrade buyout program" and he said "oh, you definitely need account services for that." Then he put me on hold and the account services person came on. She kind of acted like she didn't know what I was talking about until I explained the program a little and acted like I knew what I was talking about. Then she put me on hold and came back a minute later acting like she knew exactly what she was doing, told me the price and confirmed I wanted to participate. She said it would take 24 hours to show on my account.

BTW I tried 877-775-4886 that was mentioned a page back and I got a message telling me the line was disconnected and to call the normal Sprint number, lol. You guys must have shut it down :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] huskers15:
Here's another way instead of using the buy out program. For those that have an airave you can use that phone number to use the $150 discount. I have done this before with wire fly or amazon. I didn't activate the phone through wire fly or amazon. Once I got the phone I called sprint and said I want to replace this new lte phone on my main line. Pretty simple.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
I just checked Sprint.com and my buyout is already registered. I am showing as being eligible for the full discount two hours after calling :) They must have their act together today. Now, hopefully one of the half dozen Sprint stores around me has one in stock tomorrow.

Edit - Nevermind. I was wrong. I wasn't logged in, lol. What a fool I am.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jryanvt:
Hey Evo_Shift, did you call today and get your upgrade reset? I just called and they told me the program ended yesterday. I'm actually eligible 7/1 but the Best Buy OG EVO trade-in offer is solid and I wanted to take advantage of it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Restola:
I called several hours ago and was able to do it. The person who answered the phone said they couldn't, and then she transferred me to account services who did it no questions asked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jryanvt:
yeah, account services ended up doing it for me too on the second call.
