Hi.

I'm a noob, & this is my 1st question in any forum whatsoever, so please be gentle.

this is a serious problem, for I am just minutes away from bricking my device.

HTC started rolling out the official ICS update OTA for the evo3D, and my device said there werew no updates available when I checked manually. so I did what everyone would do, try to install it manually. so after a bit of google, I found out that you can do so, by downloading the OTA files to sd card, and followed these instructions ( http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1732984 ) . after that, I had 3 files in the root directory;

(1)

S_OFF_4EXT_RECOVERY_OTA_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Eur ope_3.28.401.1-1.20.401.8_release_2627623qpt0ma8rnwgn0qq.zip (which is the OTA files, 274MB)

(2)

PG86IMG.zip (containing radio,adsp,boot,sbl3,sbl2,sbl1,rpm,tz, and rc data - all are .img, and a little text file.) size was 18MB

(3)

root-OTA-ICS.zip size was like 6MB

so I powered on the device while holding the volume down, and went into HBoot (which mine is version 1.49.xxx.bla blah) and the options were "fast recovery, reset, all that, but: it shows those options for like 2 seconds, then goes automatically to read PG86IMG.zip, listing the files above. it asked me if I wanted to start an update, and being the noob that I am, I obviously said yes. it updated all those files above, and asked me to restart. now I can't get past the HTC splash screen boot logo. the screen just goes black after that.

If I boot into recovery without an sd card in, it goes to it, with the red

/!\

icon, and when I press volume up and the power key, (after re-inserting the SD card) it says

"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/comand"

"E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)" three times.

then there are blue options above,

"Reboot system noe, Apply update from SD card,wipe data/factory reset, cache,"

so I selected "Apply update from SD card"

I get

"E:failed to verify whole-file signature.

E:signature verifiction failed

Installation aborted"

Please help!

PS, I don't want to loose all my contacts, data, msgs. :(

and is there a way of mounting the SD card to the PC so that I can copy files to and from the MicroSD card? - or any application/command prompt which can do so?

Sorry for the long post. I just wanted to explain everything so you know where exactly I'm at.

Thank you so much!

Clockwork Recovery, fail,..

STEP 1: Unlocking

I just updated my EVO 3D GSM OTA from Gingerbread 2.3.4 to ICS 4.0.3 then after that unlocked it via HTC bootloader unlock and fastboot. Software version 3.28.707.1. UNLOCKING SUCCESS!!

HBOOT-1.53.0007

May 22 2012

STEP 2: Recovery

I already flash my recovery with suitable CWM. The recovery option is there in the HBOOT, however when I select it the phone just reboot without opening the CWM screen to select custom ROM. I had tried with several CWM, but it's the same.

Could anybody help me with the installation of Clockwork Recovery tools? the Revolutionary Clockwork Recovery is already out of date,..

Is anyone having problems to retrieve emails from hotmail exchange account?

I know on other forums some user commented on having the same issue, and i believe microsoft acknowledged some kind of server migration that might impact the service.

Apparently, not every mail client is affected, hotmail app for instance is working fine.

I'm on eye candy aokp, and some stock htc one x user were having the same problem.

I have an 8GB sd-card and tried to make 2 partitions

+/- 7GB - ext3 - data

+/- 1GB - Swap

But everytime I try to make this tutorial my phone does not recognize the swap partition -> HERE

after much time trying and failing I decided to do this by CWM-based v5, but in CWM only have 4GB for DATA and 512MB for swap partition.

now

+/-3,5Gb - fat32

4GB - Ext3 - data

512MB - Swap

does anyone know another way to do this?
[GT540 Optimus General] BartLH:
You probably don't have a script in your /etc/init.d folder to enable swap. Run the attached script to create one and swap should work.
[GT540 Optimus General] Spoterness:
tks man, i will try later

[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=799143&d=1322589251

try this ; unzip, put to init.d

also i'm not sure if swap works if you don't have fat32 but 7 GB of ext :0

you could alse try to resize the current partitions as you made them with CWM

edit: btw 1 Gb swap isn't very useful. if you have class 10 it will make your phone faster of course, but you'll never get your 1 GB swap full. i suggest to stay at 512 or less.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenasama:
～～

a bug of the baksmali, that it won't load certain classes when using -x option

so you should add the code "-c :what-you-need.odex"

ie. : java -Xmx1024m -jar baksmali-1.3.3.jar -d framework -c :minimode.odex -x systemui.odex

make sure you have copy the needed odex file to the folder within systemui.odex...

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanPPK:
I just got a 64gb class 6 microSD card, and Ive had my phone for a while. Needless to say, I have a good bunch of apps on my sd and little app space left. How do I transfer the app data? If its an easy copy all and paste, let me know so Im not wasting anyone's time here. I guess the real question is if there is a flexible app partition on my stock sd card? Thanks ahead
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eambo:
Someone with a bit more experience might be able to say I'm wrong, but from what I understand it's simply open data. My guess would be:

- Plug into your PC

- Copy into a folder

- Swap over the card

- Paste back into the new card

And it should work away. I may be wrong as I've never tried it...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baari21:
Yes it is a simple copy ans paste. I can vouch for it since I did it when upgrading from stock 8gb card to a 32gb card. Just copy and paste everything. All apps you have on the sd card will work with the new card and data will be preserved. Just copy and paste.

What carrier are you on?
[HTC EVO 3D] spereree:
Gsm... And cdma!

well, my device is unlocked.

I think I have the Europe variant, (because it has a GSM simcard slot)

but I bought it from ebay, and it had a number tag on it, so I think

it was one of those early prototypes, because in the options (when it was still

working) i had an option to select CDMA only, or GSM & CDMA. (radio type)

had it since november last year... worked fine all the way...

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] kc3:
All gsm phones actually give that option so simply enough, you have the gsm version. I would be fairly certain that with the update via pg86img all your data etc would have been lost anyway. Have you *tried* using a stock pg86img??

You could also try the htcdev unlock via fastboot via htcdev.com and than flash a recovery with fastboot and install a gb rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] spereree:
oh, and reading/writing to sd card?

oh noooooo! :crying:

are you sure all my data will be lost?

all my new contacts, etc? noooo! :(

anyways, where can I get that stock file?

or should I just follow the second link (in my post)?

and is there a way to mount the SD card to my PC

(so that I can download that file there) - or maybe

a command line/*.exe application which can sync

in to the SD card to read and write while the phone

is on (either in Hboot or recovery)

thanks so much for your help so far! :good:
[HTC EVO 3D] spereree:
OK, so a quick update,

I finally got hold of acces to my SD card on my PC using a card reader,

and I replaced the PG86IMG.zip with the one from the second link,

repeated the update (which got me into all this mess in the 1st place)

and now my phone boots normally. :victory:

I lost all my messages, but got my contacts from my google account,

and some I have saved earlier in my SD card. some of the apps also retained!

now, when I manually check for the OTA update, I get the notification,

download it, verifies it, and reboots itself to install.

when the progress bar is a third of the way, a red questionmark ? icon appears, :eek:

update stops, and reboots back to gingerbread. done it 3 times now! :(

any pointers as to what is causing this? :confused:

my HBoot version is 1.49.2012, and it says "S-OFF"

thanks again people!!!

from what i've heard is you need S-ON to do the official ICS update S-OFF is for flashing custom roms only
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brutalpanda:
Hi,

I'm planning to buy the Galaxy Nexus in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, I'm from a country where you can only get the Nexus via online merchants without proper warranties (you only have a few days at most to return the unit) and from a single provider.

I'm opting to obtain the Gnex via the first option but I want to get an idea if there are any things I should look out for when buying one. I read that there are screen issues with some units but are there more issues that I may have missed out?

I'm just scared of getting a lemon unit and I won't be able to replace it with one that works.

There is 2 forums for Galaxy SIII, the international (i guess) and this one (AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III).

What about Telus, Rogers, Bell & Videotron? Is there a specific forum I havent found for ROMs or should I look into the AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon one?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] y2whisper:
at&t is the best one for you to look at.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aklyrical:
I know that for WIND and Mobilicity, the T-Mobile section is the one to go to. For Bell as previous poster said is AT&T and for Rogers, Telus I'm not too sure about.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TLS2000:
Telus, Bell and Rogers all have the same model as AT&T, so AT&T developments should work on their phones.

Wind/Mobilicity/Videotron all have the same model as T-Mobile.

I'm just going to guess that eventually we'll start seeing roms that are compatible with all of the above carrier's phones.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
I'm tired of the "it should work" response, it really depends on what you're wanting to do. For example: Most of the mods listed in the AT&T section state that they require build UCALEM; That's not what shipped on the Telus/Rogers/Bell variant. On the advice of multiple posters here on the forums, I attempted using some of these mods anyway: It resulted in a hard-brick and I had to take the device back to the store for a swap.

I understand that this is a new device and it will take some time for real development to get going (there's a total of 2 ROMs in the AT&T section so far) but with so many variants, we really need to be careful with what we flash, and we definitely need to have a clearly-marked section for every variant. If AT&T is the same as Telus/Bell/Rogers, we need it labelled as such on the forum list. I don't want Samsung/Telus/Rogers/Bell thinking they've got a defective model because people keep flashing the wrong version of stuff onto their phone and having to take it in for repair/swap.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] David Dee:
At least this group is in the right vicinity, there are a whole bunch chatting away on the "Official Canadian Thread" in the 9300 international version. I am surprised a moderator has not brought that thread here. With this complete mayhem, I fear for keen new Android users looking to mod their phones and ending up with bricks because they install mods/roms from the wrong firmware versions.

Once Verizon launches on July 10 and the ATT model becomes widely available at retailers this week, I think this mess will get so out of hand, that XDA will have no choice but to finally roll up their sleeves and clean it up. Until then, I caution all of you to be extremely careful regarding any mods you are doing, if uncertain about version, ask in the thread before installing. Try to look for posts from others from the same carrier who have successfully done what you want to do.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamienChaos:
Hi all,

I've done some searching on this and found some "general" instances of this happening in the official Sprint Community forums, but nothing of value and certainly nothing with particular application to the Shift.

I recently rooted and installed CM7.2RC2 on a family member's phone (not 7.2 final due to bluetooth bug). Although I'm no expert, I've rooted a number of phones and had no issue with the awesome directions provided on these forums.

Randomly, when making a call, the Shift dialer does not ring once "send" is pressed, but rather one only hears an "echo" of anything being said into the phone. On the other end, the call seems to connect normally; however, the recipient only hears an echo of their own voice as well. As such, the two parties cannot communicate, despite the fact that for all appearances the call is connected.

This occurs in the opposite situation as well. Seemingly randomly, if a call is placed into the Shift, the user of the Shift can accept the call no problem. However, once the call is accepted, the person using the Shift only hears an echo of their own voice. On the dialing end, the call appears to be connected, but that caller only hears an echo of their own voice as well.

The issue tends to occur in "blocks", like a few calls won't work, but then it'll work normally again all of a sudden. The phone might be fine for a few hours, then randomly it'll happen again.

I've attempted to downgrade to CM7.1, upgrade to the latest nightly, and use just about everything in between with no luck. I updated the radios to the current version again (also did this during the rooting process, updating the profile/prl/pri as well, before flashing CM). Last night I downloaded newSENSE in the hopes of flashing that tonight and using the Sense interface to update the Profile on the phone. However, I'm not sure that will do any good if I nan back to CM7.2RC2.

Just wanted to shoot this out to the rest of the group to see if anyone else might have had this same or a similar issue with their Shift. I've used CM/AOKP on my OG Evo since I brought it home and never experienced anything similar.

Thanks for any thoughts/input!

--DC
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quetzalcoatl:
This happens to me on cm9.

I can still hear the other person, but I always hear a slight echo (not enough to make the conversation impossible)

Its annoying, but its not too bad.

As far as I know, the other person doesn't experience any echo.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamienChaos:
Sounds similar...but the only difference is, with my issue, neither party can hear the other. All each party hears is a slight time-delayed echo of their own voice; not the other person.

When the issue occurs during a dial-out on the Shift, the caller on the Shift doesn't even hear the "ringing" of the phone on the other end to confirm that the call is being routed (although it is, and the person on the other end can pick up)...all the Shift user hears from the point where they press the dial key is an echo of what is on their end of the line.

It's very weird.

Also, if it helps, the phone has Google Voice integration enabled on Sprint. I'm seeing some posts saying that this may be the issue, although I'm not convinced since this problem never presented itself prior to rooting/flashing.

Thanks!
