re: Odin Flash

If the phone will not boot and it will not go into recovery mode then

here is a sure way to fix it.
​

Easy step by step guide:

After you have followed these instructions your phone will in the same condition

as it was the day you purchased it with the benefit of being rooted.

Download the stock-rooted T999 firmware: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426451

After downloading it make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the

file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.

Here is a link for ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app) http://d-h.st/Q14

Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file.

Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin

Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted

Turn off your phone and boot into

DOWNLOAD MODE

(Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)

Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.

You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)

Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.

Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)

Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.

TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.

If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.

Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!

Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.

You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.

Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!

(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)

Good Luck!

Hi All,

Excellent forum, been watching for a while now as original XDA owner. XDA is now defunct after many months happy service (Save the provider!!) - Really didn't do enough with it!

Firstly, got my XDAII and took it out wrapper - Played..

Now time for the serious stuff:

1. Ran BluetoothGPS - Fantastic, why can we not see more of this type of app on XDA? However, ran into a couple of problems:

- Setup all connections (LAN, serial, etc) and seemed to work fine with laptop with BT Dongle (TDK Class 2 & latest driver set)

- Replaced \windows\startup BTTray shortcut with new one for BTGPS, soft reset....

Yet still both systray icons come up......

And Activesync won't work through the defined serial port....

I'd really like to start using BluetoothGPS, but I need Activesync to work... I need the other functionality i.e. LAN etc which the current MS BT stack doesn't!!

Is there a way to completely remove the MS BT Stack and make BTGPS the only stack? Is it a regedit or a ROM cook that needs to be done?

Has anyone done this? Hows it working......

Oh, I bought a stowaway keyboard too... (Required for the size)... and O2 bundled their o2-g2 headset for nowt.....
[General Topics] WeatherB:
Here is the problem:

Once you install BluetoothGPS, it will totally override all the MS Bluetooth services; meaning, no more Activesync or SSA; I think headset still works though.

Also, you cannot use the Activesync or SSA that is provided by the hacked software (or at least mine didn't work).

Please someone, find a fix. This is an awesome stack!

Hey guys, since unlocking with HTC Dev site I've noticed a strange warning message on the HTC screen when my phone boots up.

is this normal? I'm not sure if the message was there before unlocking or not, didn't pay attention.

In case it's not a normal thing to see here's the full HBOOT details:

Yeah when you use HTC's why of unlocking that's what happens. Nothing to worry about. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] harvickgm:
yea that's normal, when you unlock the phone, that's the normal popup warning.. my EVO LTE did the same.. cant wait for S-Off and RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer to get rid of that damn thing.. plus you can hide the **Tampered** logo on the bootloader.. makes the phone incognito, so if someone happens to just look at it, it looks like it is stock

[HTC Inspire 4G] brickdummy:
Hi,

I tried to install a ROM but it got stuck on the white screen with the HTC logo. I tried to do factory reset but it gets stuck again. I don't have clockwork recovery, and I rooted my phone using adb and ace recovery, which is not on my phone. I only temporarily used it to flash my rom, stupid I know. :-/ When I connect my phone to the PC it is not being recognized. I tried putting the PD98IMG.zip file on my sd card but it just says that it the image is incorrect. Is there anything I can do? Is this fixable?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
Flash a recovery.img from fastboot. What is an ace recovery? Read my signature for the HTC logo problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shadowboxx:
I just went through some similar stuff. What type of computer are you using? PC/Mac? Are you using the original cable? What troubleshooting steps for connectivity have you done? Different cable? USB port?

Can you access the bootloader screen when you pull the battery and reboot while holding the volume button down and holding the power button? By accident, I found that the phone and PC will communicate with each other when "Fastboot" is selected on the bootloader screen (you should hear a connection chime and it should change to "Fastboot USB") except I could only get fastboot commands to work. The good news is that should be enough to flash a boot or whatever else you need to get back in business.
[HTC Inspire 4G] brickdummy:
Hi, Thanks for the reply.I am using windows 7. I downloaded the drivers for HTC, and I am using a data cable and the USB port in the back of my computer, nearest the mother board. I do see "Fastboot USB" on the phone but when i type in the command prompt "adb devices" I get nothing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shadowboxx:
That's great you're getting the fastboot usb message! As long as you're not using a hub or some other usb extender, any functioning usb port on the pc will do. Again, I learned this by accident (ie the hard way) and found that in this mode, only fastboot commands will work, not adb. (on a side note, and others should correct me here, adb and fastboot work together when the phone is rebooted normally or in recovery but not in the bootloader screen)

Great test for connection: fastboot devices (if you get anything else except a serial # with fastboot after it, then close the cmd window, unplug, and pull battery/reboot to bootloader), fastboot reboot-bootloader. Once it reboots back into the bootloader screen, make sure you press the power button while fastboot is selected and you should again hear the chime and see fastboot usb come up. This is your phone saying it's ready to accept your fastboot commands.

Do let us know how it works. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] brickdummy:
Hi I actually saw your post earlier :) thank you. I will work on this. I found it in a tutorial when I rooted my phone with HTC dev, ace_recovery_ext_4.img. I'll post where i found it later.
[HTC Inspire 4G] brickdummy:
when i flashboot the recovery.img file it goes to the red triangle.
[HTC Inspire 4G] brickdummy:
Hi the program is actually called 4EXT Recovery Touch. I finally was able to open it through fastboot....Now all thats left is to find the right zip file to put my phone back to stock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] brickdummy:
Hi, this did work, thank you. Would you happen to know how i can load the stock software on my phone? I had it rooted before im not sure if its still rooted. I also managed to get the 4ext recovery on my phone too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
As far as I know, fastboot only works when your phone is in fastboot mode. ADB works in recovery or system.

Flash a rooted stock ROM from recovery. Whether you have root is in your system partition. Whether your bootloader is unlocked is in your bootloader. Whether you have a custom recovery is in your recovery partition. Three separate things.

As for your post in your other thread, read my signature.
[HTC Inspire 4G] brickdummy:
I'm sorry, I have no idea what I am doing. Can you show me the steps? When I try installing a stock rom zip file in my recovery from my sd card it aborts.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
I'm guessing that you're trying to flash a PD98IMG.zip or a RUU. You need an actual stock rooted ROM, probably from here on the forum. Or just flash Android Revolution HD, an optimized rooted stock ROM, also from here on the forum in the development section. For more specific steps read the Ace Think Tank linked in my signature.
[HTC Inspire 4G] brickdummy:
Ok, one more thing. I have S-ON. does that matter?

[HTC Inspire 4G] Rebox:
Dear friends,

I have this problem: I got a brand new TCL S720 and the Google Play did not work, being a known rom issue. So, before doing anything, I've managed to make a backup of it's original rom with MTK Droid tools whichI supose it did it well. Then I've tried to install a CWM recovery to try a custom rom for it. The CWM recovery seemed to install succesfully but I didn't manage to install the new rom. If I remember well, it stucked on boot logo. Then tried to revert at it's original stock recovery, managed to have the phone back as it was in initial state, but doing more tries, It remained stucked on boot logo. The problem is that my computer doesn't recognise it anymore, when I connect it to USB it tries to install MTP usb driver but even before the driver was installed well, now it refuse to install, like the driver is not good or the proper driver doesn't exist. So the only thing I can do is to boot on stock recovery but even I tried to copy the original rom update.zip on external SD and to flash the phone using install update from sd card in recovery mode, It doesn't find the external sd card. So I'm stuck here, the computer doesn't detect the phone to try flashing it with SP flash tool or MTK Droid tool, and I also can't flash it from sd card. Have you any idea how to make it work again?

Thanks in advance.

The touchscreen used to be sensitive but Google changed something in an update and this mod just reverts back to the old sensitivity. Using it now it's brilliant!

Try turning on the dev option to show pointer location, which also shows the pressure registered for a touch. I can get 0.2-something for a swipe (higher for a straight touch).

My screen is fine. Franco's kernel also has some sensitivity improvements (and still uses the latest driver, avoiding other issues), which you might like to try.

If you are willing to root, however, I would recommend one of the newer revisions of Franco kernel (i.e. r134) which includes touch sensitivity improvements, without breaking touch-based recoveries.

You could fairly easily make one yourself, just open the ROM's .zip and delete any apps, ringtones, bootanimations, notification sounds etc. that you don't use. You may be able to get it under 155MB that way.

The int2ext script IS basically dataonext.
