[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Zori:
I tried using android screencast, but I don't think it's possible to get it running without interacting with the phone. I can't even connect the phone to my computer and use it as a storage device because I don't remember exactly where the buttons are. At this point, I'm considering flashing cm10 onto another device so that I can see where everything is and replicate the location of the screen presses on my LTE to try the voltage trick or reflashing the rom.

I'm very likely going to take it in as is and hope they don't have any way to see if its rooted or not and just give me a replacement.

Yeah, but it still gives me the same screen.

Edit: I can't even switch to my Evo 3D because it says I need to switch my plan. This is just another sprint headache considering my plan is fine for the LTE it should be fine for the 3D. I'm gonna wake up at 4am to talk to chat since they're not currently open
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Smackmethg:
Zori, is your evo S Off? Then you can flash individual kernels I think. If it is, then take a CLOSE look at unlimited.io/jewel.htm because most of that procedure is remote terminal. If you do it via ubantu, I'm thinking you can push the proper package onto the phone and update it that way.

The hardest part will be getting to recovery from the hboot screen and BAM!

The bootloader screen:

At the very least it can get you to the point of getting to stock I think. My phone seams to have recovered a bit at stock. I briefly see the confetti when I wake it. I can imagine that it would be an under volt condition while powering on. You can do it mate the force is strong.

How did you make out with this issue? The same thing happened to me today. Running 10.1. Cant even see revovery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crapid:
Answer to confetti screen issue

My phone did this exact thing on Saturday. I took it in to the Sprint store, and the tech there (the only one I've ever run in to who really knows his stuff, Phil in Westminster), explained that there is a cable between the battery and screen that is "kinked" and loses contact. If you squeeze the phone really hard just above the back button the screen will come back on for a bit. They did agree to send me a new phone (I am rooted, and running a custom ROM, they did not care). I've been able to get enough functionality out of it to get by for about two days, but as of last night the screen only stays on the "confetti", and won't come back at all.

Anyway, hope that helps a bit!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] A$hr@j:
Yup.. mine started doing the same thing couple of days back..

I instinctively started pressing the screen and it came back on.. must be the same prob like ur sprint guy said..

I'm thinking of going to sprint store but I don't have their insurance or total equipment protection plan.. so, any clue on if they will replace? Do u guys have the TEP?

Edit: Let me add that I have noticed that the screen fuzziness happens whenever i put the phone in my pocket... have started carrying it around in my hand now!! :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crapid:
I didn't think I had insurance, and they were going to charge me $50 for a replacement. After they looked at my account it turned out I did have insurance on this line, so no charge.

Unfortunately, I got the replacement last night, and sound doesn't work on this one! Getting yet another replacement on Friday.

Hey guys,

today I tried to update 4.2.2 via OTA but it always failed so I tried to flash the stock 4.2.2. It seems to work, but after succes message of the toolkit, my Nexus stays at fastboot mode with the message "Booting failed".

Oooops, my bad.

What ROM r u trying to install? Do they match up?

I only ask cuz some developers don't make it easy to distinguish between crespo(nexus s) And crespo4g since they make the ROM for a lot of phones.

Is this ur first ROM to flash after rooting?

Do u have back ups?

The more info the better

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 1337Roflcopter:
Using a Samsung I727R, flashed the Tar for the I727R Using the odin method of doing so. Everything worked out fine

until it reaches the start up.

It will go through the Rogers logo, but once it has the S logo for samsung it lingers there for a while, before just infinitely repeating the S logo,

but not the Rogers.

Not sure whats going on, was looking to get off of CM10.1, onto stock and update to the recent release of Jelly bean for rogers phone.

Any help is appreciated thanks!

On a side note,I asked sk8 to include the option from cwm to reboot into download...and thanks to him he included that so I format everything from his recovery then reboot to download them flash the stock tar ROM....Worked beautifully...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmlssit:
Hi there.

I am experiencing an issue with Google Talk provided in the latest GApps package (20130209) along with Paranoid Android: The app seems like can't connect to the server, i am always offline.

I am running Paranoid 3+ (15FEB2013-011710) 4.2.2 on Galaxy Nexus.

Could it be the app stopped to work properly because i am running 4.2.1 GApps in the 4.2.2 build of Android?

Just checked with a friend of mine; He runs version 4.2.2 of Google Talk, i have 4.2.1.

Edit: Just extracted Talk.apk from 4.2.2 stock (deodexed) but unfortunately this doesn't fix the problem.

Thanks in advance for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tdf666:
Yea my Google talk force closes when I try to video chat. I'm also on paranoid android 3.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
After extracting the newer gtalk, did you uninstall the other first and wipe its data before installing the new one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmlssit:

Nope, just replaced it then wiped dalvik cache and app data.

Sorry for double posting.

Updated to 20FEB2013-012602_BETA, nothing changed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
Im not sure about the Rom beta, but that could be a known issue.. Is it actually a deodexed version of gtalk, or did you just remove the .odex file? I would uninstall via the applications pane, erase the app's data cache, then try reinstalling and making sure permissions and ownership are right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmlssit:
R: [Q] Outdated GApps? (Google Talk)

Deodexed!

I tried everything you suggested but i can't unistall it, just "disable" it (i guess because it's a Gapp?)

Permissions rwx-r-r ownership root/root.

PS: After flashing the last ROM update i flashed back the previous version of the GApps.

permissions should be 644 rw-r--r--. Change them with a root file explorer / browser and reboot!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
Hmm. I'd still be trying the newest gapps version. Disable the one you have, clear the app's data, place the newer one, verify permissions, enable it, reboot? If not, then I'm not sure i have any other ideas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmlssit:
At least we tried :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meisanerd:
Not sure if this is any different than your attempt at extracting/overwriting talk.apk, but you could try flashing this gapps package instead of the one linked to on the paranoid thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
Meisanerd: I don't see those gapps containing google talk?

nmissit: What if you disabled gtalk and tried to get it from the google play store?

Or, I have another idea. Do you know how to logcat? Start a logcat and then open google talk, and maybe itll give some error info. Or you could cat last_ksmg I believe..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meisanerd:
I use the basic one, and it has Talk.apk included in it. I think it might be a required file for the google stuff, as it seems to be in most of the gapps I have flashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmlssit:
Flashed gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip, nothing.

Flashed the ones you suggested, still nothing.

No Talk on the Play Store! :(

About logcat, nope. I tried to access via the adb and DDMS on the SDK package, but when i plugin the USB into the notebook i get this message on the phone: Fastboot command read error -2147483647

Maybe i should try on my Windows VM with the official toolkit..

Anyway, i have a theory: What if something in that ROM is blocking my gTalk outcoming port?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
I've got a thread about that fastboot error: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2126686. Anyway, that's not for adb, that's while in bootloader / fastboot mode. But you'd have to set up adb in a similar way [on linux]. Adb is while android is booted, or in a custom recovery.

I can't believe talk is not on the play store. And yes, it could be the rom, which is still in beta, correct? Anyway, if you get adb working [adb devices and connected output], try adb logcat from a terminal, then launch google talk, and press control +c whenever you're ready to stop the terminal and examine the output.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lparcshinoda:
Google Talk has never been on the Play Store just like many other google apps.

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35357

Couldn't that just be a problem on your particular network that is not accepting the Gtalk XMPPConnection ?

Glad you got a better idea of the issue, and that you're not the only one with it. What's the fix though? Are you using a netgear router? Can you try turning off WMM in router settings? Anything here work for you: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35352?

I see its affecting you on mobile data as well.. Is there a bug log for PA that you can post to? I'd try a clean reflash, but i do not know that will help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lparcshinoda:
In this case, problem is somewhere else, probably something on the rom itselft (maybe some security issue that's blocking ports as you stated before) and in this case you should talk directly with some PARANID mantainer that could check on the repo in search of the cause of this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmlssit:
Thread can be closed, i fixed it by performing a factory reset. The problem was caused by some strange system or app setting i backuped time ago and restored with Titanium.

[HTC Droid DNA] commandlinekid:
I did the root update (flashed in TWRP) to:

HTC6435LVW_2.04.605.2-1.15.605.2

BUT...now Verizon is telling me I need to update OTA to:

HTC6435LVW_2.04.605.2-1.15.605.4

...Is there a .4 version rooted somewhere?

Also, the .2 version is causing my screen to flicker every 20 seconds or so for some reason.

How about this: Are there just instructions somewhere telling me how to lock the phone so I can do the stupid OTA update...and then re-root? I've seen like partial instructions but not sure the best method.

Thanks.

Thanks.
[HTC Droid DNA] utkaar099:
Wrong section buddy
[HTC Droid DNA] MustafaHadaKing:
as he said this should go in Q&A Sections, but to answer your question. The flickering is becuase you did not flash the kernel to go a long with 2.04.

Also what do you mean by you flashed 2.04 in twrp? can you give me a link to what you flashed?
[HTC Droid DNA] commandlinekid:
Woops sorry. Too bad I can't move it or I would.

[HTC Droid DNA] commandlinekid:
I flashed this file (put file on sdcard, boot into TWRP, installed, and rebooted):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38015322
[HTC Droid DNA] MustafaHadaKing:
#1 that is called a custom rom.

#2 do not take the .4 ota

#3 to fix your flickering issue go into adb with your phone connected with usb debugging on and type

download the rom on your computer and extract the boot.img out. place it in a folder in your computer called android

Adb reboot bootloader

then type

fastboot flash boot C:\android\boot.img

then your done..
[HTC Droid DNA] commandlinekid:
So...Are you saying to do "something" with the file I already flashed?
[HTC Droid DNA] MustafaHadaKing:
.......

yes.... something as in take the boot.img out of the file...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwleOote5M0
[HTC Droid DNA] utkaar099:
What he is saying is that the file you downloaded is called a "rom" and that you are supposed to extract the boot.img from the .zip, and flash it using the procedure he told you
[HTC Droid DNA] commandlinekid:
Does this update the radio too? I heard that was updated.

Also, what about the .4 version....This is .2. Do I need .4?
[HTC Droid DNA] utkaar099:
You don't need .4, and from the thread you linked it even says:
[HTC Droid DNA] commandlinekid:
I read somewhere else there was indeed a radio upgrade.

So if you had a DNA, would you be doing what I'm doing here? Or is there a better way?

My goal: Get the latest software and firmware that VZ has.
[HTC Droid DNA] commandlinekid:
Seems to have worked! Thanks.

Can you tell me please why?

What I ended up doing:

1.) Booting to TWRP and flashing the .zip file. Then I noticed the flickering, but everything seemed to work fine.

2.) Then I posted to the forum here, and you gave me those instructions.

3.) Then I tried them and updated just the boot.img file as you said. ...And it seems to be working.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
It worksbecause you flashed the update in recovery and flashedthe corresponding kernel and modules.
[HTC Droid DNA] commandlinekid:
So are you saying that if you flash the update, that it won't "do the kernel part"? And the only way to do the kernel upgrade is to use the method described herein?

Did I do the process correctly then? Meaning, in the future, is this how it's done?

Thanks.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
What you first flashed was the rom someone created out of the update. Flashing it does not flash the kernel (boot.img) and probably not the modules either. Some developers have been incorporating the kernel and modules into the rom, but in your case it didn't work. You should also flash the new radio, that was not flashed when you flashed the rom.

If you accept the OTA via the normal process it will do everything itself.
[HTC Droid DNA] commandlinekid:
I can't accept the OTA because it will just boot into TWRP and sit there.

Did you see the radio anywhere? I didn't see it.

Also, I think it did flash the modules probably: Because my custom new photosphere-capable camera and new Android keyboard are now gone.

Thanks.

This may have been discussed elsewhere but I wanted to get rid of the action bar as it uses too much real estate on the screen. This is easily done in settings>system>power menu expanded desktop. However this leaves no home, back or recent apps button. In comes LMT available on xda.

If you can get into CWM like you say, just flash the ROM again. It should fix whatever changes you made to the build.prop file.

EDIT: Nevermind, I guess you got it working. For future reference, if you ever get to where you messed something up and you can still boot into CWM, a simple reflash of the ROM should fix it. Or always make a backup before you go messing with stuff that might ruin something.

pwr + - volume i get the odin mode download screen. I have tried loading stock images through odin but it always gets to CDMA-Radio the very last step and hangs there forever (15+min.) battery pull.

pwr + + volume I get a black screen with a lock at the bottom. ( i have read that this means i have unlocked the bootloader but I have not, on purpose at least) battery pull

pwr + both volume i get a black screen. It kinda looks like the screen is on but just completely black. no fastboot mode. Battery pull.

the stock images i have found either do not work in odin or have broken links.

i am not sure if usb debugging is on like i said i usually dont mod phones. adb wont recognize. I just want a stock GNex back. Any tips tricks files or suggestions will be greatly appreciated and I have no problem donating to the cause
