Yes im having this issue too, it happens on any stock rom i run. even stock roms that have been debloated like Savvy, ive tried proper custom roms but they give me a blue screen external modem crash screen more often than the random switch off i have with a stock rom. However the switch off has happened to me twice today. its happened overnight before causing me to be late for work and ive missed many phone calls.

Im sick of this issue and am currently in the midst of speaking to the seller off ebay for warranty return (it was bought new unlocked unopened from an ebay store)

[HTC EVO 3D] RonaldoPA:
I know there are lots of posts about bicks, but after a week searching I could not find any fix for my problem.

I have a S-Off, rooted GSM Evo 3D running Yoda ICS ROM and 4ext Recovery. One day, I was charging it when it hung, I restarted the phone, but it went directly to the bootloader (I didn't touch anything), as I was unaware of what was happening, I simply power it off (using the menu option), when I tried to power it on again, I got no success, only a dim red light appeared, and it is this way eversince.. I cannot power it on, go to the bootloader or anything, the computer recognizes it as QSUSB-DLOAD but there is no partition on it (I tried both Linux and Windows). I tried some unbricking methods without success. I am in Brazil, I tried to call HTC but they said I have to send the device to the origin country (mine is from Rogers, I believe it is Canada), but I don't even know where to send and I'd prefer to fix it by myself if possible. I am open to suggestions anyone could help?

Thanks a Lot!!

AW: [Q] Hard Brick evo 3D

Does adb detect the device?

In that case you could try to run a ruu...
[HTC EVO 3D] Jsparta26:
If he can get it into recovery mode then yes. Most of the time its usually something that the end user has done to make it get bricked. I am not saying he actually did something. We also don't know what he has done with his . Phone changing your cid is a good way to brick it. Pulling the battery during a ruu update, flashing a CDMA firmware etc things like that are guaranteed brick makers. However there's only one solution I know of should you not be able to boot into recovery. Try and Google up JTAG. I'm fuzzy on the details about how it works but it can restore your hboot. If you know somebody that knows how to do it, that's your best shot. Otherwise, you will have to send it into HTC Canada or you could try to buy the JTAG hardware and learn how to use it to restore your phone. If anybody has a solution for him please feel free to chime in. Sorry about your phone though. I wish you the best of luck on getting it restored.
[HTC EVO 3D] RonaldoPA:
No, it does not detect the phone. I was searching more thoroughly and found some places here in Brazil that do jtag repairs, I think I will give it a shot.

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] RonaldoPA:
Just to let you guys know, I did the jtag repair and it worked for about a week, I put back my cfw and yesterday, out of nothing it stopped work again. It was working normally, I left it on the table, checked the time and went do other things, later (about 2 hours) I took the phone to set the alarm for the next day and it didn't turn on...

If someone has any ideas, I appreciate!

Thanks in advance.

Try using this to unbrick the phone (aimed specifically for DLOAD error, but has worked for other cases): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1522351. Afterward, use a combination of both the official instructions from Unlimited.io and this video tutorial to achieve S-OFF. The instructions give you an idea of how-to, the video actually gives you a better sense for the timing. The timing is very specific that needs to be done just right (might take quite a few times to get it done).

If you have an HTC Evo V 4G with Virgin Mobile USA, then you can use this flashable RUU to return to stock (I extracted this from the RUU.exe; just ensure that your bootloader is LOCKED. You can check this by Holding Pwr+Vol Down during boot; top of the screen should say LOCKED). If your phone skips loading into your bootloader and boots into the main OS, pull the battery to bypass quickboot (or turn it off in the settings). To flash the RUU, move the file to the root of your SD card, boot into bootloader, and follow the directions on screen.

Hi, I'm not sure where to post this....I am currently a T-Mobile customer. We are thinking of going over to AT&T and I was wondering if My phone will work with their service? I think I might have to get it unlocked form TM..but wasn't sure...or could I Root my phone and then it will be usable?

I think the networks are similar, but are the sim cards the same in size?

Does AT&T have the WiFi calling feature? I thought that was strictly a TM thing...

If a moderator feels this should be posted in the AT&T section, feel free to move it there as I don't know where it should have been posted to begin with....

Yes, it supports 64GB micro SD cards so long as they are FAT32 formatted.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddiemc:
Do you know this for a fact? Has anybody actually tested this on any of the prerelease versions of the phone?

This would make me even more tempted to pre order it be for release. If you have any links to any test of this, it would be great:)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
All Android phones support this. With FAT32 you're always fine. Only downside is that it's limited to 4GB files.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Here's a screenshot of an HTC phone which was only advertised to support up to 32GB microSD, no official ICS support and almost 2 years old now.

Now do you think Xperia Z won't support 64GB sd cards?

It's only 57gb because I partitioned it for sd-ext support.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddiemc:
Thanks guys for clearing this up. Any amount should be supported then, if it's in FAT32. Happy to hear this is working on the zl.

Here's another one: since 4gig+ files are not supported on fat32, how about running EXT4? Anyone tried that on Sony phones? Guess it needs to be supported on kernel level, but custom kernels might provide support for this. Anyone wants to share some views on EXT4?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romanzi:
In android 2.3.x

Support up to 32GB sd card(Micro SD).But this android 2.3.x.Latest version maybe can support and 64+ gb
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
Maybe it'll have kernel support for NTFS and exFat. The Samsung Galaxy S3 and even the older S2 have it, so I'm hoping Sony includes it too. It's not really that big of a deal for manufacturers to add support for more formats, but some of them like HTC are very stubborn about it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
ext4 support is by default supported on Sony phones since 2012 models already use ext4 as the default format on system partitions. So using ext4 for sdcard would be only tweaking the vold.fstab file to mount it properly.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deboopi2:
ZL supports 64GB cards (specs from Sony), Z does not, only up to 32GB (also Sony specs).

I think it's best to wait until it is released and there will definitely be some people trying this.

I live in Belgium and I'd like to order the ZL but as far as I know now the ZL will not be available in Belgium.

I wait until release and if no ZL i will order the Z, for the moment I have a 32Gb card, I'll start of using this one and maybe in the future I'll have a look for a bigger card.

If it is not supported I also woder how they do it and maybe this can be avoided by installing a curstom rom one they become available.

On all my previous phones I installed cards bigger in size than officialy supported and up to now I never had any problem.

Bass is quite good. The volume can also be turned up very loud, it seems to be much louder than my Nexus 4 or GS3.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
The exFAT is a windows propriety driver. So unless sony get's a license from windows then you'll get exFat support.

The NTFS is not a block type filesystem and is really bad if you're using it as a mass storage. You'll likely end up destroying your sdcard if you use NTFS for a long time so it's not enabled by default. But it would be easy to enable when devs get their hands on the kernel source.

I can now confirm the xperia Z is working with a 64GB micro SD card. I work at vodafone HQ in London, we have the final version of the device and we are currently testing the device with our network and apps ect. My boss was demonstrating the device to interns and other technical officals, and when i went on his demo device, i seen that he had a 64GB class 10 HDHC micro sd card. I think its due to the way the card is formatted, i think he formatted using exFAT, and NOT fat32, i am yet to confirm this but this is amazing news :D!!

I really wish that all the cell manufacturers would just have a small point saying "64GB sd card support (with FAT32 formatting)"

It is so annoying to see so many people saying stuff like "Only 32GB?? Not buying the phone anymore :( "

They don't realize that every size of SD card works with almost every phone out there as long as it is correctly formatted. I do not even understand why people care so much about NTFS and exFAT support.... the speeds are still great and the only limitation is the 4GB single file size. Even a 1080p mkv rip of an extended LOTR movie is 3.95gb.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
They'll prolly support exfat format. Recording a 1080p video on a average microSD is not very benificial at all.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon9206:
You have A and B, but not C. The important part is the bitrate. I could encode LOTR to 1GB, still 1080P, but the bitrate is going to be really low and not look so good.

But on topic, I'm fairly sure for the average person, you aren't going to run into the 4GB wall when recording. Not unless you're doing one entire take of a concert or something :D
