[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Top_Banana:
I did try Froyo, it was the only multi package I could find.

The previous email attempting to unlock it makes sense as it's not completely bricked.

I don't know how possible it is to reconstruct the imei. I have read several examples and guides of fixing or resetting them but it relies on having the efs folder in the first place.

It's quite fun learning from a broken phone!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] johnny893:
The folder is in a partition on the phone whichs is easily corrupted when you try to access it. It's as useful as an iPod now.
[HTC EVO 3D] bavman:
My evo 3d's screen gave out and instead of replacing it im sending it to HTC since its covered under the limited warranty.

The guy told me as long as I haven't loaded 3rd party software on my phone that it'll be ok even if I used HTC's tool to unlock the bootload (which I did). I was trying to follow this guide but the link given in the first step is dead:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194053

I used my NAND backup to restore the original sprint ROM, but I think I have to still actually flash it and restore the recovery. Were else can I find it since that link is down?
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
I don't have it, but all you need is any ruu: 2.07, 2.17, ext. I think you can get these off sprint or HTC websites.
[HTC EVO 3D] bavman:
Okay so I got the file and renamed it PG86IMG.zip and placed it in the sd root. Went to my hboot (1.50 unlocked) and it scans the file for a minute then nothing happens...doesn't install it or anything.

I tried to go to fastboot and run:

fastboot update P86IMG(.zip) without any success.

Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
Go to the Q & A and in the sticky one of them is going to say return to full stock . Just follow that guide and you're done
[HTC EVO 3D] bavman:
Thanks, this thread helped:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1578977

I think it was just cause I was trying to run the RUU when the phone was one, but if its in fastboot i think it works perfectly
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
You're welcome
[HTC EVO 3D] bavman:
Ehh nevermind...half way through it I got an error 155 unkown...now my cwm recovery is gone and every time I reboot i just goes to fastboot...wont even boot into android. And my hboot is now relocked.

:( What do?
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
Did you download the 2.17 ruu and run it after you locked it?
[HTC EVO 3D] bavman:
I believe so, I downloaded the exact RUU specified in the guide and followed it step by step
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
What happened after you ran the ruu
[HTC EVO 3D] bavman:
everything works and it says sending but after a while it just stops and gives my the error and says that its failed

edit: by works I mean it starts the actual process where it first sends the file to the phone
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
Oh man , idk what to tell you .
[HTC EVO 3D] VictoriousShooter:
Did you relock the bootloader
[HTC EVO 3D] blazerboy567:
All you have to do is download 2.17 RUU .exe not a zip. Relock device and run RUU.exe while the device is attached to fastboot usb. Once the exe goes through ur done your phone is restored to normal don't worry if ur phone shows relocked and a security warning just run the 2.17 RUU it will fix the security issues. This will also unroot ur device.
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
Thats what he did
[HTC EVO 3D] dr.chucky:
This is what always works for me:

Relock bootloader, run the 2.17 pg86img.zip on root of sd card and done. The bootloader has to be relocked or it won't take the zip on the sd card.

In around two weeks, I'm leaving to Europe on a school trip. I found a website http://goo.gl/LyKpj that sells SIM cards that work in most of Europe. My two questions are that will my Amaze work with just the voice and text plan (no data) and does the Amaze use the 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 frequencies? Thank you :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
I use Viber to talk to my friend in China. It's a free wifi calling/texting app on the Market.

[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeeed:
Don't forget to call t-mobile

and get your sim unlock codes. They email it to you, and you can't enter it until you put the foreign sim in. I'd wait to get the sim until you get to where your going to, as you'll be surprised at the deals you can get once your there.
[HTC Amaze 4G] johnk1973:
Get a different pay-as-you-go sim card in each country for the best deals.

Not much free wifi in Europe.. Don't rely on it.. In your hotel you should be ok though..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
You can call FROM anywhere back to the US via wifi and it's free, not call from the us to anywhere.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ApokrifX:
Yep.

AFAIK, to request SIM unlock code for subsidized phone (from TMO), you need to be 90 days on contract at least.

Or if you don't have subsidized phone (i.e. you bought it yourself) - you need to be on active contract.

It's explained somewhere on TMO site.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Or s-off and use the free method in the general forum to sim unlock your device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HuskyHamburger:
Thanks for all the help. Prior to the post, I already sim-unlocked my phone from the method in the general section. I also already bought the SIM card and it seems to work. I placed it in and typed in the pin and everything seemed to be fine, except for the fact that they don't have connection in the US. Hopefully all goes well on my trip.

No Mobile network in France

Hello, I've just receive an unlocked T-Mobile Amaze 4G phone from the US. The phone is not rooted and has a stock rom. Everything seems to be working fine but one thing:

NO MOBILE NETWORK (can't use mobile internet)

It looks like compatibility issue between the French operator (I'm not sure that it supports 4G format) and the phone radio. What should I do first:

- call my operator support service

- root and flash a custom rom

- update radio version

Would appreciate any help.

PLEASE, HELP ME! What can I do?

Phone only keeps rebooting... Also in flash mode when I do nothing...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hiratafabio:
Did you unlock the bootloader before trying to flash the ROM?

I had this same issue when I tried flashing CM7 on my phone first time.

I pulled the battery out for a while, let it rest, then inserted it back in and made sure it wasn't going on and off in flash mode. After that, I reinstalled stock ROM, unlocked bootloader, installed custom kernel and custom ROM and it worked like a charm.

Something that happened a few times is that the phone won't turn on, not even enter flash mode. I'm not sure if it was a battery issue or what, but I solved it letting it charge for a few hours and then tried again.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] +cs.tribal:
well.same prob i had i suppose!

First of all.u have to download SEUS and update your device to go back to stock firmware+kernel.that will unbrick your device!

UNLOCKING GUIDE

1.root+recovery your device.(flashtool)

2.then go check if your device is safe to unlock.(s1tool)

3.if it's safe, go ahead and unlock it!(msm7227_semc.cmd)

4.flash ther correct rAa kernel suggested and given with the rom.(flashtool)

5.then flash your ROM on recovery mode.(before flashing make sure u select "wipe data/factory reset")

6.give it time to reboot for first time.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Taranis:
So I decided to go to the mobile phone service. I paid about 10 EUR. ;)

@hiratafabio

I've never unlocked bootloader.

@+cs.tribal

Did you read my post? I wrote about reconnecting mobile phone in flashmode so Flashtool/SEUS doesn't work.

Thanks for help.

Thread closed. ;)

I never had this problem with my Desire, Desire S or Incredible S, but I just recently got a Sensation and when I hit the home button I get a white screen with HTC in green and Sense resprings, doesn't happen all the time but enough to be annoying, also happens with my girl friends One S. I am running ICS and sense 3.6. Is there a cure for this?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
It just happens when there isn't enough memory so the Sense launcher is killed and has to restart.

Maybe you could tweak the memory settings using an app like SystemTuner so Android doesn't kill the process so aggressively.

That said, I've experienced a lot less on Sense 4.0 ROM's.

This is 100% correct i have experienced the same thing before i rooted and installed a sense 4.0. the only thing you could do is move as many apps as you can to the sd and or like he said systemtuner. But in my opinion just root the phone it works so much better.

Add that line to your build.prop

How or where do I enter that?
[HTC Sensation] slugger09:
Would using a different launcher make any difference?
[HTC Sensation] Mr-YC:
use any file explorer that supports "ROOT EXPLORER", you have to enable it in the Settings. I am using ES File Explorer)

browse to '\system\', there you can edit ur build.prop.

second method: adb pull build.prop to ur computer and edit using Notepad++, do not use Notepad.
[HTC Sensation] 1st_paladin:
Thanks for the tip. What does that line do (other than fixing the Sense reboots)?

I'm not rooted and was able to view and edit the file using ES File Explorer. However, since build.prop is write protected, unable to save. Is there a way to change the write protection?

Latest update with solution:

http://androidforums.com/htc-sensation-xe/563869-sense-crashing.html

@Everyone else - To disable sense 2.7* Goto Settings>Apps, click the all tab, scroll down to HTC Sense (there will be two) and disable the one that has the lower version number eg. 2.7*

It has been 2 days and so far no crashes.

This does not work on ICS due to the RAM and other code that locks things in memory moving from the ramdisk into services.jar

So it appears that I have a dead pixel. I can't really tell. It's definitely not on the surface, so it's either dust underneath the screen or its a dead pixel. But it's a very very tiny black spot, right on the white part of the clock on the homescreen. Should I take this baby back? I can probably live with it for 2 years...i guess...it's just knowing it's there that bugs me. There's no danger of more dead pixels is there? Is one dead pixel indication that more may happen?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pharaoh0:
eXplicit815 says there is an app called dead pixel test on market that can tell you for sure whether there is a dead pixel or not. The post is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1683245&highlight=pixel&page=2

If the pixel is the only screen issue I'd say keep it. Swapped mine only to get one with a dead pixel somewhere else and now I also have the dreaded yellow cloud towards the bottom of the screen. So count yourself lucky if that's the worst of your problems. Take care.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
I was thinking the same thing. The way the OP explained it, it sounds like it's not even noticeable. BTW I was told that yellow cloud will improve as time goes on.

I've heard of these dead pixels and light leakage issues. I don't see any dead pixels, but I work nights too so my phone is always at lowest brightness setting.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Peruano_Loco:
HI, I just wanted to add something to the list of problems that the new evo is having, yesterday i went to the sprint store to buy an evo lte, but i couldnt take any home, since all of them were plagued by dead pixels, the sprint rep open six boxes and all of them had a least one dead pixel, I went home very frustrated i cant understant how HTC uses cheap screens on its premiun devices, I am one of the guys that cant stand to know to have a dead pixel on my screen, since once you know its there is a pain not to look at it. So i will keep going to every sprint store until i find one with no dead/stuck pixels. It may take months but ill be worth it. I personally suggest and encourage that you guys download the app called dead pixel test, and try to find any dead/stuck pixels on your screens if you do find some, take your device to sprint and return it, and get a new one without any deffect, lets make htc to stop giving us cheap quality parts in our premiun devices, we are paying a lot of money so we deserve to have a device with not deffects. I can understand a dead pixel on a tv screen because is big, but on a small screen is unacceptable!!!. Please tell me what you guys think about it, and please bear with my english since is not my first language. Thank you

JFYI, I ran the dead pixel test on my old 3D and had some obvious ones on that phone, but I just ran it on this one and what I thought was a dead pixel was just a speck of dust. Kept thinking I was seeing them and kept being able to just wipe them off. Sounds dumb but try it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Peruano_Loco:
well my experience with this phone has been a nightmare i have been to 5 sprint stores around my area including best buy, and i have checked 24 htc evos lte and all of them had a least one dead pixel on then, im really frustrated with htc for this, i really like the phone but im starting to think that all of you phones have a dead/stuck pixel as well but you havent check it throughly. i really want a evo lte but i not longer wish to fight with the sprint reps for going over and over and keep returning phones for this. i am not crazy maybe im just having bad luck, but its embarrasing going back to the store and all the reps looking at me like (i dont want to sell you anything), oh i really hate my luck. but i hate htc the most for using cheap screens on this phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xPhantom:
Wow, I have a slight bit of the yellow cloud toward the bottom of my screen, and I thought about going to try and swap it... but from what I'm hearing about the amount of devices out there with dead pixels, I think I'm going to keep the one I have since there are no dead pixels on it. I've checked.

I love my RAZR overall, it's the best phone I've ever had. But nothing is perfect, and so it is also with my RAZR. Right out of the box, Google voice app has been real laggy. When I press the icon to start the app, it doesn't start up right away but tends to freeze for a second or two. Then, when I send text messages, about 30% of the time I get an error and the message sits there in queued up but not sending.

Does anyone else have these problems with Google Voice on their RAZR? I use my Google Voice for all my text messaging and this problem is really annoying.

it worked perfect on my Xperia Play I had prior to the Razr and my LG Ally before that.

Now it's so buggy I am using the regular text messaging instead. Sucks, because I have zero signal in my office. I guess I'll just sign into GoogleVoice on my desktop browser.

Hey Guys

I was wondering if there was a mod availalble. other than the CM mod, that allows us to change the volume rocker controls to go from sound-> vibrate-> silent. As of right now on a stock rom you can disable and enable vibrate within silent mode using the volume rocker. Has anyone been able to achive this without using CM7 based roms. Does anyone know how CM7 based roms do it?

Thank You
