that may be, but if your not rooted then it wont work and this guide will
[EVO 4G Android Development] ljohnson1981:
now thats gangsta! cheers to you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ljohnson1981:
dont matter, what does matter is your MEID or your ESN you dont want to post that cause that can cause you problems if someone with my knowledge has ill intentions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
You can just read the EVO's MSL.... You can use something like UniCDMA or any CDMA program that reads MSL.... CDMA WS 2.70 which is floating around also does...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ljohnson1981:
This is not asking how to get the MSL it is a tutorial on using CDMA Workshop to get the MSL. If you can get the MSL these ways which i dont doubt then why dont you post a tutorial on it some people having issues with this might appreciate it.

After I write the new banner should i save / write ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] oranium:
It made A file on my pc , should I replace it with a file on my phone ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
You're right. I did not read the title, I read the post that someone used an app from the Market and I was replying to him... should've quoted his post. If you're the [OP] then delete all those threads and be happy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ljohnson1981:
Sorry if I sounded like a RICHARD, didnt mean to come A-CrOOs that way but i read it and was like MAN you sound like a RICHARD, so I just wanted to keep it on topic as I have GRANDE EXPERIENCE with CDMA Workshop :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ljohnson1981:
write the banner
[EVO 4G Android Development] ljohnson1981:
You should just write, not save :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] chilwill2000:
Thanks! I had some problems, but I restarted my pc and boom it worked!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Razorwindmo46:
Did not work for me

I followed the steps correctly 3 times. I have USB Debugging on, did complete the driver install correctly, rebooted the phone and started from the beginning. Posting CDMA Workshop error.

I will try one more time and run CDMA Workshop in admin mode.

No luck, doesn't work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Heavy G:
Thank you!

It worked well very well!

what exactly can i do with the MSL code?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xPSYB0RGx:
Ok, something is really wrong. I just went thru all 17 pages of this thread hoping i would find an answer.

I've installed the drivers etc., everything went fine, connected thru cdma workshop, all is fine, click read, a whole bunch of info comes up on the left side of the screen.

went to the security tab, click read, and I get 6 zero's. Tried switching ports on the pc, tried switching ports under "modem", everything reads and connects except i get 6 zero's again!!!

Then I finally went to the marked, downloaded msl reader on my epic, transferred it via bluetooth, installed it, let it fetch msl code, and 6 zero's pops up again?

So my question is, must your phone be on (as in have service) for these methods to work? Because mines isnt?

Sidenot: after using msl reader, and it displays 6 zero's, it asks "Was this useful"" rotflmao!!! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] nikola25:
Thank you and thank you and thank you some more. This worked on my 3vo and added a good .6mbs
[EVO 4G Android Development] JasonM79:
the download link to CDMA workshop now is version 3.7 I was confused at first, when you said com port right, now its on the left, but still gives the MSL code. Thanks for the great tut. worked for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] McClair672:
Thanks! Worked like a charm for my OTA'ed unrooted Evo3D.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikecore:
Need help.

3 days I've been trying to retrieve MSL of my HTC Desire CDMA.

I'm using Windows 7 32-bit.

Software: CDMA Workshop 3.7.0 (Demo).

When I've installed driver, there's no "HTC USB Modem" driver, only "HTC Diagnostic Interface". "USB Debugging" is turned on.

Dialed ##3424#, connected my Desire to PC through the usb-cable. I left "Charging only" on my phone.

So, changed com-port to 6.

Put my "workshop" on this port. Tried to read SPC and got this trouble-window:

​

I've made 2 or even 3 hardresets of my phone, a lot of softresets, but it didn't help.

Please, anyone, help me!!! :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] AaronM7:
Thank you. Very useful how-to, and easy to understand.
[EVO 4G Android Development] inifekt:
Not trying to bump an old thread, but I've tried every single method in this thread to no avail. I'm using the EVO from Japan on KDDI's network. I got close with adb shell getprop, but didn't use the string the first poster suggested, as it was not found. I did find [gsm.sim.operator.numeric]: [44054] in there and tried 44054[0-9] but none of them worked.

I can't call into customer service because they hardly speak English and have no idea what MSL is or anything of the like. Sigh.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pinto bean:
I figured out how to get this to work on the OTA updated devices. I just got a replacement, and tried the steps in the original post, and and I kept getting the same error that mikecore was getting a few posts up. Here is how to fix that.

Before you go to the step in the original post where he has you click "read" on the security tab where it says SPC, head over to the terminal tab, and enter the following (exactly as I have it below with spaces and everything) on the line that says "DM Commands"

41 74 64 77 61 6F 70

Click "send"

You should get some output below in the message box along the lines of:

"Answer Length 5 bytes >

0x0000: 41 01 70 41 7E .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. | A.pA~............."

Then go back over to the security tab and try reading you SPC / User Lock.

After I did what I explained above, it worked perfectly for me. And all I was using was the Demo version of CDMA workshop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pinto bean:
Someone else try my post above and verify that it works for others.
[EVO 4G Android Development] locoboi187:
Try log cat
[EVO 4G Android Development] inifekt:
After posting that. I tried alogcat and no luck either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pinto bean:
Try the method in the very first post in this thread, but use the extra step I mentioned a few posts up.

[Off-topic] briankim09:
There's no way to tell for sure, but these photos which made their way into our hands certainly do a convincing job of making us think that's very much the case.
[Off-topic] 66mustang:
An iPhone out of the box is tied to what Apple will let you do with it - what software you can run, when you can take a dump, everything and I hate it for it. When jailbroken (you need to do this yourself or get someone who knows what they are doing) you are then free to run what you like.

I understand though that this opens up some security holes, and the reason Apple products are so damn stable is because Apple have control over everything.

You pays your money, you takes your choice.

[Droid Incredible General] br125:
Has anyone noticed and/or found anything else that may help this??

I have seen that you can go into the *#*#4636#*#* menu and change to "cdma only" which "seemed" to help, but in fact it did not really do much.

Also coming from the eris we had the "airplane mode trick" which did seem to help on that device.. this involved literally just putting the phone in airplane mode, plug in charger, sleep, then wake the phone back up and after checking it from time to time the time without signal was usually below 2 or 3% for me (on the eris).

The incredible is still showing poor numbers with both of those done and my g/f's eris showing 0% time without signal in the same room, while my incredible shows 30%.

Also noted, I saw somewhere around here that htc in fact admitted a problem with the radio signal and hoped to correct it with an update, so maybe we just have to live with this as it is for now.

Also on a side note, the eris and incredible are both showing the same signal strength side-by-side, which someone suggested that the problem may be that the radio is designed to go into a low power mode occasionally which could also be the culprit.

any thoughts?
[Droid Incredible General] fallingd0wn:
Try using CDMA auto PRL
[Droid Incredible General] br125:
Thats what the phone was using when I received it, I suppose it looks like an update is necessary to fix this issue. Like I said, my eris never read over 5% (even in the worst signal areas I was in), ever. Definitely seems to be a real issue, and I'm sure that battery life will improve when this is fixed.

On the eris, if I was using a rom that needed the "airplane mode trick" as I stated in my first post, the time without signal was usually from 40 to 50% and battery life was awful. As soon as the time without signal dropped the battery life was back to normal
[Droid Incredible General] intenselyinsane:
You can also download a different .prl file and install it. I made an Alltel , verizon hybrid one that works great for me. Coloradoprl.com has a lot to try

Wow why is it so hard to embed a Youtube video on here :(

The startup sound of the HTC Evo 4G is one of the few things I find annoying about the phone. The fact that even plugging headphones into the Evo does not stop the sound is lame. Here's how you can disable it.

Fast and Easy Way for Froyo:

Root your device, use a File Browser (like Root Explorer) and rename the /system/customize/resource/SPC_animation_final.mp3 file.

Requirements

Your phone must be rooted with Toast's method

You must be familiar with ADB and Toast's custom recovery.

If you need more information on Toast's root and recovery, read this {tutorial} how to root \0/ - xda-developers

Disable Startup Sound

Connect your Evo to your computer thru usb and Enable USB debugging on the Evo.

Reboot into recovery. In a commandline do: adb reboot recovery

Start toast's custom recovery by running recovery-windows.bat as Administrator (or the equivalent for Linux and Mac). Do this by right-clicking on the recovery-windows.BAT file and choose Run as Administrator.

Use a different commandline and do: adb shell

Mount the system partition by doing: mount /system

Skip to #9 if you are on 2.2 Froyo

Go into first folder: cd /system/media

rename the mp3 file: mv android_audio.mp3 android_audio.mp3.bak

Go into 2nd director: cd /system/customize/resource

Rename the mp3 file: mv SPC_animation_final.mp3 SPC_animation_final.mp3.bak

You're done! Reboot: reboot

The stage
[EVO 4G General] joackie27:
Nice one pingpongboss! Come to think of it, modders can tailor made (if they haven't done so. sorry if they have. i'm a n00b.) this procedure to load their own custom sounds and animation during startup.
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Yup, that's right. I think BuglessBeast does that for the Moto Droid. You can also replace these files with your own files manually.
[EVO 4G General] liquidkernel:
Thanks for the howto! Definitely glad to remove the sound.
[EVO 4G General] bkofman:
thanks! Naive question, though. Why can't you just to rename the files directly in the evo using a file manager? I thought i'd ask before i try and mess things up .
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
That is because when you boot into android, /system becomes NAND locked. So you cannot write anything in /system

You can only write to /system in recovery mode.
[EVO 4G General] Ketty:
Does anyone have the stock sprint start up sound SPC_animation_final.mp3 that can upload it here?

I flashed Fresh 0.2 rom and I don't like the startup sound that goes FRESHHHHHHHH. =/
[EVO 4G General] maback:
Thank you pingpongboss! It was driving me crazy!
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Haha I was really scared the first time I heard that sound :eek:
[EVO 4G General] ticklemepinks:
yeah so how do you enable it if it's gone???
[EVO 4G General] XpAcErX:
You can also set your phone sound profile to silent before you shut off your phone and it Disables the HTC Evo 4G Startup Sound. ;)
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
If you did it yourself, then just redo all the steps, but rename all the files back to .mp3.

If your Rom cane with no sounds then you can probably stick your own mp3 into the right folder.
[EVO 4G General] ticklemepinks:
it said it was read only when i go to the folder
[EVO 4G General] cjohnson:
is this procedure different for froyo?

i get to...

and the android_audio.mp3 file doesn't exist?
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Its very well possible that they may have changed the location of the bootup sound. Is the SPC_animation_final.mp3 still there? And does sound go away when you rename that.

/system/customize/resource #

seems as though they did away with "android_audio.mp3" in froyo on the evo. if you skip steps 6 and 7 (and the bit about toast's recovery in my case since i have amon_ra's installed) everything will work fine.
[EVO 4G General] chjade84:
I would just like to add how I did it.

I rooted using another method but I found a simpler way that works on the EVO 2.2. I downloaded Root Explorer (paid app) for removing bloatware, but I used it to navigate to /system/customize/resource just find SPC_animation_final.mp3 and add .bak to the end of that.

Done and done.

Thanks for the info on which file it was!
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
Is there any free application that can do this? I don't see the directory when I use ES File Explorer. I'm guessing it is hidden somehow?

edit: Nevermind, I found it with ES. No file manager I've tried will allow me to edit the file. What is Root Explorer doing that is so special? Just giving itself superuser? Can't we do that manually?

edit2: I did it via ADB but I'm still wondering the answer to my question above. Also, has anyone noticed if it takes longer to boot? It seems to sit at the white screen for longer than before. Maybe it's spending time looking for the mp3 file before on? Or maybe it's just my imagination.
[EVO 4G General] chjade84:
Sorry for the long delay but it looks like you've figured it out.

IDK what makes root explorer do what it does, but in order to edit anything you have to click the button near the top (once you are in the directory you are working in) that says 'Mount R/W' to make the files read/write instead of read/only. It locks the files as read only by default.

I haven't noticed any longer boot times or anything on mine... dunno.
[EVO 4G General] rscrobinmx99:
Blah

This sounds to complicated just turn your volume down before you shut it down.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
thats what i did when i ran fresh

Forget just once and prepare to be embarrassed in the movie theater. By now I bet there's an appapp on the? Market that does this automatically

[HD2 General] tai4de2:
Folks,

I like to run my HD2 with the standard today screen (not Titanium), and I populate it with several of the standard plug-ins, notably including date/time and calendar. I then add some apps like SPB Weather, SPB Phone Suite, and a quick-launcher to get my complete experience.

What I'd really like is that same experience except with 6.5.3 instead of 6.5. I previously installed an Energy ROM but found that most of the standard today plug-ins were missing. Can anyone suggest a 6.5.3 ROM that is as close to "stock" as possible, including the standard today plug-ins?
[HD2 General] shehrammajid:
I would also like to knoe if there is a rom like this. same as stock...just really snappy in performance
[HD2 General] tai4de2:
I am looking for a ROM that is similar to stock, includes standard old-school WM today plug-ins, and is 6.5.3 or later.

Does such a thing exist? Or did MS remove the standard old-school WM plug-ins in versions of WM post-6.5?
[HD2 General] pinhead:
Which standard plugins are you referring to? Calendar, Tasks, Messages, and the like? I am using the Elegancia ROM with titanium right now, but when I turn it off those plugins are there, and I'm pretty happy with that as well.
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
Hey all, I just ordered my HD2 from T-Mobile, and I found this promo code that onle works once. If you want the online pricing for online T-Mobile orders, or orders over the phone use this code:

HD2FORU

I can confirm it works. :D

Enjoy! Please post a success or failure post when you use it,

if it doesn't work online try it over the phone!

Also, use this code fast, I have no idea if it expires soon. I saw it on a forum, a guy said he got this in the mail.
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
Man waiting for this phone is going to kill me lol.
[HD2 General] rlacsamana1989:
Ha welcome to the HD2. I remember waiting for my two HD2 and usually UPS comes before 1 at my house and he didn't come til 4, Just think of how horrible those three hours were :P

Good find on the promo code btw. I got both of my HD2 for 200 all together.
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
So you used it for 2 purchases? That's great!

I am not sure when the UPS guy delivers at my aunts house. So I will have to wait twice as long, AHHHH lol.
[HD2 General] pozativenrgy:
I got 2 HD2 for free from a corperate kiosk in the mall :D
[HD2 General] rlacsamana1989:
nope they had buy one get one free. so they charged 100 per HD2. When you get it you need to put a custom rom on it. without the custom rom you'll be miserable. I am using the Energy Rom which works perfect.
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
Oh of course, I've been in the WM game for a loooongg time. That was the reason I joined XDA :). I went to android (G1 then broke a few months later), and now I've been waiting to get a new phone since.
[HD2 General] rlacsamana1989:
Yeah I've owned the G1 three times.

I've owned my share phones so I am pretty good at software on most phones.

Ha so as you can I have had my fair share of phones and I can honestly say I'm loving the HD2 but I believe I will be trying out the iPhone 4 because of the new features
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
My phone history started with dumb phones(Naturally because I was 8 years old when I got my first phone. . .), then my first smart phone was the Samsung SGH-i607(Blackjack on at&t), then from there I've had my share of phones.
[HD2 General] rlacsamana1989:
ha i owned the blackjack also but we do no metion Nokias or samsungs they suck as smart phones lol

yeah i had all those bar and flip phones when they were popular also. Although the Nokia E62 was my first smart phone and I actually was one of my favorite smart phones.
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
Basically before 2007, I owned feature phones.
[HD2 General] davel23:
If I could bring the thread back to the original subject, I placed my order for my HD2 last night and tried using the code. No luck, just kicked back an error saying it was invalid. So, :(
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
You didn't try calling in did you? I underlined it and made it in bold. . .:cool:
[HD2 General] sbthe1:
I was looking for a way to add panels on the hd2 and found some cab files that i tried and they worked really good and smooth (the tile wave panel looks awesome on this phone.) but I had a few glitches and some of the panels would not work. i was just wondering if someone could make a rom with the panels built in. I know it would run much smoother and possibly all the panels will work. Thanks.
