Hello to All!

I'm new to the site and I hope that one of the local genius' can help me out.

I'm having a problem on my Original HTC Evo 4G - Getting the message: "SORRY. The application HTC Sense (proccess com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly",

In a constant loop.

History - I terminated my sprint service about two years ago. While with Sprint, I rooted my phone and it worked fine in the rooted condition. After leaving Sprint, the phone sat unused until now.

A few weeks ago I decided to renew service with Straight Talk. We had problems getting the servers to recognize my phone. After several failed attempts, we did a hard reset going back to the factory settings. That's when the launcher problems started (not sure if the phone tried to do an OTA upgrade during this process).

I started getting the message, "the application HTC Sense(process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Touching the "Force Close" button does nothing, just an endless loop. Also occasionally get "Sorry, com.android.phone has stopped working.

I have tried the following to no avail:- Taking the battery out - anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours - and after removing the battery holding the power button down for 10 or so seconds.

wipe data/factory settings

Wiping the Cache

Wiping the Dalvik cache

BASIC FACTS:

The phone is still rooted.

When I press the PWR AND VOLUME DOWN buttons I get the following on a WHITE SCREEN:

SUPERSONIC EVT3 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-2.82.0000

MICROP-041f

TOUCH PANEL - ATMELC03_16ac

RADIO - 2.15.00.09.01

OCT 14 2010,19:14:47

HBOOT USB PLUG

<VOLUME UP> to previous item

<VOLUME DOWN> to next item

<POWER> to select item

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

SIMLOCK

HBOOT USB

1. I think that there is a software problem causing the HTC Sense app to loop - FORCE RESTART DOES NOTHING.

2. There is a USB driver/connection problem that is causing the phone not to be seen by the Windows 7 DEVICE MANAGER - No Android in OTHER DEVICES.

3. I can't get into the applications screen

4. The phone is not responding (SORRY - process com.android.phone is not responding).

I went to the HTC site which was useless.

When I hooked the phone to my computer and started HTC Sync it said "No Device Connected".

None of this has stopped the com.htc.launcher looping at startup.

Cannot access the Home, Phone, search keys. I had read that by accessing search during the loop, one could then access HTC Sense and wipe that cache to fix the problem.

What I'd like to do is get access to the phone and add a new Launcher.

Are the any tools that will allow me to access the phone?

Does anyone have specific suggestions knowing that the phone is in a constant loop cycle and that there is no access to any of the keys.

I'm not taking a "shoot at anything that moves" solution to the problem and would sincerely appreciate any thoughts as to what a good approach might be. Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

I didn't see any mention of it, but have you tried flashing another ROM? If not, I suggest flashing the one in the link below. Download, put the file on your SD card, boot into recovery and do a full system wipe. Flash the ROM, then reboot.

Hi, well seeing how your rooted, u should have no problem flashing a stock Rom from recovery,

First when you hold volume down and power and you get into the bootloader use the volume keys to choose recovery, hit power button, does the phone boot to a custom recovery like clockwork or smelkus .

If so good.

Then just put your sd card in a micro sd card reader adapter and use it in your pc, then just put a stock Rom zip file on it,

Put your sd card back in the phone and boot in to bootloader again choose recovery, in recovery wipe everything except sd card, and system. Then choose install zip from sd card and u should be good.

If you don't have recovery then you need to put one on the root of your sd card and boot into bootloader again and choose yes when it ask to update. Then go back to what I said.

Do a search for recovery zip files I would use smelks

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

Also do a search for HTC drivers for windows, 7 should be able to find them easy, that way u can just use adb and just try to push HTC launcher to system/app and do adb reboot that can solve your launcher problem, providing its stock Rom on your phone, if not just flash stock rom

I finally eliminated the f@#$ing loop - i'm in!!!!!!!!

FINZ28, Thanks for the response. You brought up the point that I was going to attack next. Again, Thanks. I'll have a question in a minute. I solved my problem as follows:

As I suspected, the problem was software/OS related

I believe that the problem started when StraightTalk tech support had me do a hard reset and wipe the SD card

This wiped the file PC36DIAG.ZIP AND ALL OF THE ASSOCIATED FILES installed during extraction when I initially rooted

I think that dependencies between the rooted system and the HTC apps were broken at this point which caused the looping and the USB/driver issues

I feel like a DUMMY for not seeing this much earlier, but when I went into HBOOT and saw

Loading PC36DIAG.zip

No Image

Loading PC36DIAG.nhh

No Image or Wrong Image

Loading PC36DIAG.zip

No Image

Loading PC36DIAG.nhh

No Image or Wrong Image​

during the booting process, I should have know that these files were missing, but the above was only on the screen for a very short time and the print is microscopic.

I found the EVO 4G PC36img.zip file

I rebooted and selected the DISC FILE option

I was then able to see the SD card from my PC, and I copied the zip file to my SD card

I rebooted to HBOOT and chose the RECOVERY option.

I CHOSE "INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD"

Next I chose "CHOOSE ZIP FROM SD CARD"

I then selected "EVO 4G pc36IMG.ZIP" AND THE INSTALLATION PROCEEDED

I then chose the REBOOT SYSTEM option and my screen came up as it should

​

I now have access to all of my apps and settings

I want to bring tthe phone firmware up to date and I read elsewhere on the site that I should not accept OTA's or RUU's from Sprint lest I lose rooting capability FOREVER!

What the best course of action for me now? Should I flash the ROM you're recommending? Is there a newer ROM? What do you recommend as a replacement for HTC Sense?

Again, thanks for responding.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
Flash the ROM I linked you to. It's a stock rooted ROM based off the latest OTA from Sprint. As far as the info regarding the text output in HBOOT, that's normal and shouldn't be confused with an error unless you actually are trying to install a PC36IMG.zip file on your phone (like you would when installing a recovery or updating firmware).

If you're interested in updating your firmware, check out the thread in the link below:

Thanks

Thanks Fin. I'll do it.

Any thoughts on a replacement for HTC Sense?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
You can go the AOSP route;)

Keep in mind that Sense is a user interface (UI). You can download a replacement launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro, but this really only replaces your home screen and Sense is still there. With AOSP (for example, CyanogenMod) you get the pure Android experience without things like HTC Sense getting in the way.

No Longer Have SU Capability

I flashed the recommended ROM. When I checked the Root status, it looks like I have lost SU capability and so it looks like NOW I'm "partially rooted" (BOOTLOADER - Supersonic EVT3 SHIP S-OFF)

Did System Wipe and reflashed back to the UnrEVOked3 ROM. Ran the following apps and still do not have SU capability.

ROOTCHECKER: "Sorry Device does not have proper root access"

SUPERUSER: SU Binary not found

Titanium Backup: Root Access Failed

In the Terminal Emulator: Cursor is $ and not #.

Any Ideas as to how to get SU capability back?

Can't run ADB because Device Manager does not see the device Via the USB cable.

TIA
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmking99:
Got it Working

Looks like everything works now - Rooted, SU status OK, Radio updated, ROM Updated...

I am confused as to why Device Manager shows "Android Phone -->Android Composite ADB Interface" When I updated the driver with the Android USB Driver.

Also, my BOOTLOADER shows HBOOT - 2.02.0000. If I wanted to get a more recent bootloader, wwhere do i get it and how do i update it? Is this necessary or am I OK as is?

TIA
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
You're fine with the bootloader you have. No need to upgrade it. Also, regarding your previous post regarding having "partial root". There is no such thing. S-off and root are not dependant upon one another. You either have root access or you don't.

Everything Works Perfectly

Fin,

My sincere thanks for all or you time and help. The phone works perfectly.

I'm planning on getting a Nexus or Galaxy and a tablet in the fall and wanted to practice getting the device to do what I want, so this was a valuable exercise.

The Evo is practically brand new, but it's dated and I don't know how much longer it'll be getting support. It's a great phone and I like it a lot so, I'll keep it as a backup.

I'm pretty easy on my equipment so I expect it to last a long time. As I said, it's like new.

Once again many, many thanks.

Dennis

Lol was just looking for the same thing. I am about to attempt to flash the google dialer out of the pa gapps after I finish the backup. Has anyone tried this or am I the guinea pig?

Read the second part of my post
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rans0m00:
Wow don't know how I missed that part of your message.... well that saves me from doing a restore. Hopefully someone has a solution since the google dialer is awesome with the auto caller id etc.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rans0m00:
Does the aosp roms have the google dialer? I havent deviated from tw yet on the n3. I like the samsung calendar and the note3 specific features (spen etc) too much to give them up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Justinchi:
From what I've read, no. Although so me devs might choose to include it in their ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rans0m00:
Hmm thinking its time to flash one and give the google dialer a shot just to see if it works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Justinchi:
Good luck. Lemme know how it goes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rans0m00:
Tried out PAC-Rom using PA full gapps. With a light browsing it appears to have the google dialer. When I am around a nexus 5 tomorrow I will compare it and see if it is actually the same thing. Late and my memory is failing me atm.

I wish there was a way to do this on the Tochwiz ROM. Search inside the dialer and caller ID.... nice.

Firstly, love the tablet. However, the whites could be better. Would a custom rom help make them whiter? Or is that totally a hardware dependent thing? Unrelated, but is there a way to remove stock lg apps? I thought for sure i read somewhere that you can without rooting, but cant seem to find the option anywhere. Thanks

[MENTION=5534237]YoungBobbie[/MENTION] has made a kernel for the 500 device which may take care of the screen problem. His thread is in the development section for downloads and updates. You will need a custom recovery like twrp to use his kernel. There is also another person working on a 500 kernel as well that may be available soon.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremekizzle:
Sweet. 'Thanks' coming your way. I've seen the root method for the g pad. And it seems that the method bypasses unlocking the boot loader. Is it the same with flashing a custom recovery and Roms? No boot loader unlocking needed? Don't mean to go ot, but I figured I'd pick your brain instead of starting a new thread. Thanks again

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mrvlhs:
I have been flashing my phones for years, I was thinking of buying and HTC but apparently everyone here is so kind that I already moved on with the idea. Of course it makes a lot of sense to make the important information for HTC beginners (because, after all, you're mentioning things HTC-specific since this isn't how all the other brands work) spread across dozens of posts in dozens of threads instead of in one simple place, for someone to do the reading you suggest.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mrvlhs:
It isn't xda-usegoogle as well. With your reasoning, XDA would serve nothing since you could probably find the same content somewhere else using google.

The fact is that the information just isn't there and me, as many people, probably will leave the idea of buying such a device if they can't find that kind of information without searching for days.

If your intention is not to share knowledge, you have no place in a forum like this.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] LaZiODROID:
I will try to help, because the OP asked the questions pretty clearly and politely (and wasn't like some of the posts on here - "hurrr how do i root my phone, tell me now kthx"). I also agree that having info scattered everywhere is not the easiest for people to navigate. And let's face it - not every post in this forum is crystal clear for all. Once the info/methods/files have been established, what is the harm in trying to put it all together? I enjoy the hunt for the information - That's why I've kept a file/info archive for every phone I've messed with.

Custom ROMs should work between all 3 (Vivid/Raider/Holiday). I don't believe any custom roms have been made specifically for one model.

RUU's will not. An RUU is a stock rom. It contains all of the stock partitions like radio, system, etc.). It pretty much returns a phone to stock (based on whatever carrier it is for, I believe - so carrier bloatware will be included). I believe that if you have unlocked the bootloader (for whatever reason), an RUU will refuse to flash. The bootloader will need to be re-locked in order for you to be able to flash the RUU.

When the RUU is run, it checks the "CID" of your phone. If your "CID" doesn't match the RUU , it will likely refuse to flash. You probably don't want to flash random RUU's to your phone anyway. But if you live on the edge :D you can change the CID of your phone. I think it's like... 1111111 or something. This is called the "SuperCID" - any Vivid/Raider/Holiday RUU will flash. At your own risk, of course! I remember doing SuperCID on my Bell HTC Raider, so I could flash the Rogers RUU to it. There are barely any differences between our 2 main carriers in Canada, so it flashed and worked fine for me.

To change your CID - I believe you will have to have the ultimate access to your phone (meaning, S-OFF your phone). Your phone will be open to flashing pretty much any code to any partition, and it will be easy to brick if you flash something inappropriate.

THANK YOU! Finally someone with good judgement. I don't usually do this but since you took the time to elaborate such a clear and thought through answer I'd like to take some time to thank you in writing. I did not like the way the thread was going, in fact I regret the spam created and fear that it won't promote the very useful content you have just provided. I'll try to get in touch with staff to try and get this done and in the meantime if you're more familiar with the process I encourage you to do the same, thanking you in advance for that aswell. I hope the community can benefit from threads like this and encourage everyone to share and clarify other terms if they feel like so.

While you have been decent about your inquire, you are incorrect on your assumption of XDA.

This was created as a Development site. While over time we have added sections such as Q&A, it has never been based on answering users questions.

BTW, when I searched Google this was the second hit using the criteria of your OP

This is why windows isn't fun, this works a bit better from Linux like I was mentioning in that old post, still sounds like its not seeing the drivers installed for the brief fastboot appearance it makes on powerup. If you think the drivers are good I suggest trying a Ubuntu live CD, opening a terminal and running a

sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

Same procedure as before, plugin while off after running that command.

If the first command gives you an error you may have to enable the other repositories in the settings of Ubuntu under the software section. My instructions may be a bit vague but my laptops stuck in the other room for the night downloading updates or I would boot into Linux for better instructions.
