Ok, so I got my new Eris today, the trackball quit on my old one, so VZW sent me a replacement. I get the phone, boot it up, and it's already running 2.1. Never thought anything about it, but a little while later when I tried to root the phone, I kept running into the same problem.

I've tried two versions of PB00IMG.zip, the first release, and the more recent post on XDA from Ivan. Neither have worked, the phone just keeps giving me the following message:

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

Do you want to reboot device?

<Action> Yes

I've also tried the MR2 RUU downgrade method, which also failed. Anybody have any idea what to do here?
[Desire General] tcberg2010:
Try moving this over to eris android development, I think they are working on a root for 2.1, I would head over there to ask them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisDos:
So now that my phone is rooted, I'm looking at what it will take to add Debian Chroot support like what was on the G1. The chroot binary seems to be missing. I can install busybox from recovery using Toasts root method. What else am I messing.

I still have the partition on my SD card that contains my Debian environment.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisDos:
Should I post this question in the developer section then? There doesn't seem to be any interest in the Q&A section.

Rural coverage for HTC Desire with 3 Mobile

I just want to clarify if the same is applicable with 3 Mobile as Voda have meraged. I'm a 3 customer and I'm moving to Trentham, Victoria. 3 and Voda have said there would be call and text coverage only in the area. 3 is bringing out the Desire later this month but I don't know which one. I've been told there's more Telstra towers in the area but will not swap suppliers as I have a good plan from when they were Orange. Thanx for the help.
[Desire General] Muskie:
If you get an 81 and use telstra, it will be slower.

if you get an 83 and use a Non-telstra network, it will be slower.

If you get an 83 on telstra, Root and grab T-Mod.

Simple! XD

Hi there.

I am confused. I am thinking of getting A8183 and am a vodafone user. Will 3g work for me?

vodafone going 850mHz
[Desire General] 777ace:
I have the 8183, rooted and running on LiveConnected (Optus). I have very little drama with mobile internet, regardless where I use my phone around Cairns.

I find I get drop outs if I venture too far west, but north to Pt Douglas/Mossman, inland to Atherton Tablelands/Millaa Millaa/Malanda and all the way south to Townsville (including Hinchinbrook region), signal is strong and on song.

I have never understood people that gripe about their 8183s not working properly on other networks...unless they happen to live in Oodnadatta, there should not be an issue.

Hello,

I am coming from a windows mogul. I should be getting the evo later today!

Looking through the user manual.....but it is vague on some details

Will the evo be able to open: docx, xlsx, pwi files? (manual says .doc, xls can be opened in quickoffice)

if not what is the suggested app?

regards

qu1nn
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MetroKnight:
yes, they are supported, and QuickOffice does come with the phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qu1nn:
thanks for the response,

curious, what version is supplied?

qu1nn
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qu1nn:
eeek!

I transferred all of my docx, xlsx, and pwi files.

Only a couple can be opened! Some of them show that the file could be read, but if it could be it wouldnt zoom in!

Actually I should have phrased the original question differently....

is there an application that can view, edit, modify, and save docx, xlsx, and pwi files?

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

qu1nn

Hey there guys,

Let me start by saying thank you for all your help that you all do for us dummies in the cell phone world.I got unrevoked,it got the super permissions ready.I got the wifi tethering going.My only problem im having is my laptop and tethering.I can connect to my cell phone with my laptop and does says great signal.When i open up my browser it says cannot find page,even though im connected.Is it my firewall or is there settings that i need to apply on the wifi tethering app.Hope this makes sense.
[EVO 4G General] Neotelos_com:
I've had issues with the battery cover not being flush and having lips on both sides. Now you may think I'm crazy for posting this, but hell...I didn't think the solution I found would actually work.

Basically, I just took a post-it and folded it twice (maybe three, I forget) and placed it under the cover...perfectly flush now!

I figured it would just push the cover and create more lip, but instead I tried it and it make it fit perfect! All seriousness, I was considering using rubber cement to hold it...I'm glad I didn't.
[EVO 4G General] slacker76:
Strange

Worked for me too! Who would have thought... Thanks for the advice.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Where did you place the post it? Dead center?
[EVO 4G General] Neotelos_com:
Dead center over the battery. :)

I also cut it in half, it was pushing the cover a bit too far out near the camera.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
wow! i didn't even realize this bothered me until you pointed it out. super simple fix. you sir, are a genius. well done!
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
woah cool

10char
[EVO 4G General] ipractice:
This bothered the hell out of me as well... for some reason it's only the right side (when the phone is facing down) that doesn't sit flush on the edges. The left side is perfectly fine.

Unfortunately your fix doesn't do much to help my situation but I'll play around with it a little more. Great idea though :p
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I noticed this also but when I put the ext battery that i bought for the Hero in it went away.. You can always put a Innocase II on it and that takes care of the problem too :)
[EVO 4G General] xtkxhom3r:
the ext battery fits with out a different cover?!?!?!? u lie!! show us some pics
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
sorry i should be more clear..its just a 2000 ext hero battery that is the same size as original..its was $10 on ebay so i went ahead and just got it for kicks.
[EVO 4G General] xtkxhom3r:
oh ok... yea those batterys are the same thing as the 1500....
[EVO 4G General] rahb0sse:
Mine is also lipped on the right side if the phone is facing down. I'm trying all kinds of things right now to fix this.
[EVO 4G General] zikronix:
you say that but i have one of those batterys too...and you know what, i did get longer run time...
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
Dude you are a genious! Such a simple solution LOL Works great my cover is perfectly flush now. Will have to find something of similiar thickness to permanently stick to the backside of the battery cover.
[EVO 4G General] lhawes:
Thanks

Works for me, greatly appreciated! Seriously bugged the hell out of me. It's not perfect but it's so much better
[EVO 4G General] scaots:
The post-it mod rocks! That did kind of annoy me before.
[EVO 4G General] blkswanpres:
Works almost perfectly for me, what pisses me off about it is that my cover was flush until I removed it to change out my sd card.
[EVO 4G General] madsquabbles:
wtf made you think of this?

fixed one little annoyance i had with the phone. thanks!
[EVO 4G General] bwillet:
Just be careful that you don't add too much insulation and keep the heat from escaping the battery...
[EVO 4G General] roybotnik:
I had to do this with both of my EVOs. Pretty terrible that HTC can't even make a battery cover fit properly on a 'flagship' phone.
[EVO 4G General] jcjr81:
Thanks for the tip, OP. Definite improvement.
[EVO 4G General] Nrre:
i use a Blackberry Bold 9650 right now and many people put electrical tape under the battery cover to stop the door from wiggling around.

and many call it the "flagship" device from blackberry so its not only HTC
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I love this fix, my older evo wasn't very much of a lip and this fix didn't work, but my replacement stuck out alot, then i did this fix and it sits perfectly flush now, AMAZING
[EVO 4G General] jdculp:
Try this at your own risk.

So I got my Evo and my cover did not fit at all. Needless to say I was not too happy. So I invited my friend who also has an Evo, we tried tons of things to get this thing on their nothing would work. I looked away for two seconds and he says "Well I got it" I was shocked. On the cover bottom right side there is a clip that curves ever so slightly. The guy at the store I bought it at tried to snap it on instead of slipping the bottom in. This in turn bent the “latch” or whatever you want to call it up. This held that side out making the whole thing not fit. Now I don't know if this will work for all of you so try at your own risk. My friend bent the "latch" on the bottom right of the cover out, so that he could slide it in first and it fit like a glove. So if you’re brave and careful not to break it, this may work for you. Let me know if these instructions suck and I'll rewrite them better.

You would think that apple would of done something about concidering they came weeks after google and had to of watched their presentation.

oh okay orb no problem, xda is a win mob fan site (Me too :D ) but same time there are some apple fan boys here. This might be useful for them :P ha ha
[General Topics] MooGoo:
It is relevant as most users here are used to phone hardware that is far more advanced than the iPhone.

Not anymore. Yes iPhone OS still sucks and of course there is no hardware keyboard, but the new phones display alone is enough to make me a little jealous. 960x640 makes the 800x480 screen on my Rhodium feel like QVGA. When will WE get display's like this? WinMo obviously never will, and WP7 only supports up to 800x480.

I assume Android could support this resolution, but when? Imagine the HD2's 4.3" display at 960x640! LCD pr0n it would be. HTC needs to get on this quickly.
[General Topics] jagan2:
Wow impressive, Video chat over wi-fi and the app which enables this is FaceTime. Cool.
[General Topics] gllu:
video chat and the book apps is just bs. On the other hand - the screen, the camera (+LED flash), the processor, and the antenna seem like good innovations. Hate to say it, but... Well done, Apple.
[General Topics] Badwolve1:

BTW, guys the glass used is 30 times stronger than plastic, really? :cool:
[General Topics] orb3000:
You are right mate:D
[General Topics] MooGoo:
I really hate to sound even a tiny bit pro Apple but what exactly about this new iPhone is fail? Besides the screen size it meets or bests the HD2 in the hardware department. The 960x640 resolution is well beyond anything HTC has produced (or plans to?); considering one of the main perks of our WinMo and Android phones has been the high resolution screens this point alone is pretty important.

Imagine Android hacked onto this new iPhone. Might make it arguably the best non-hardware-keyboard phone out there currently.

Hardware keyboard is still a requirement for me so it is an obvious no go. HTC has some catching up to do now, I do hope they soon announce a new Android phone with as high of a greater a resolution (and screen size, obviously) than the new iPhone.
[General Topics] jagan2:
I agree with MooGoo, further what i have heard is this new iPhone 4G has only 256 MB Ram and dont know how they though that they are going to do multitasking with that?? Either the Phone will slow down or battery power leak or can't open as many application as on win mob. But who knows may be they have done something innovative for that too.
[General Topics] satchef1:
Hardware seems nice. Software is disappointing though, I was expecting them to more towards the cloud a bit more and maybe cut that iTunes leash.

[Android Apps and Games] slow4g63:
Does anyone know of a app that you can remotely control your evo 4g device from the computer through a usb cable (3g would be fine too)??

I found an app that you can do it with wifi, but I do not have wifi available at my work location (the app is called htcportal).

I also found a screencast application:

http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/

(but you can only view the screen, you cannot remotely control it w/out rooting, I do not want to root just for this app.)

while at work I like to plug my phone in and just keep it on my pc screen so I can type messages or whatever through the software instead of having to pickup the phone and/or disconnect the usb/charging cable.
[Android Apps and Games] evilkorn:
Without root, probably not going to happen.

When phone in bootloader my PC (running Win7) dont see it... Any suggestions, please
[Desire General] rolfd:
Have you installed HTC Sync, and what are you trying to do?
[Desire General] zheads:
Yes, sure, HTC installed and works fine. When getting phone in bootloader state PC couldnt find driver "Android 1.0"...
[Desire General] rolfd:
Are you trying to install a rom? I had the same thing, but carried on and put the phone into recovery. Win.7 64bit then installed the driver and it worked.

Try that.
[Desire General] zheads:
What driver you've installed?
[Desire General] rolfd:
I have HTC sync installed, and the sdk kit. You need both to root.
[Desire General] zheads:
I have both too.. Sync and SDK
[Desire General] rolfd:
Did you try to go ahead and put the phone into recovery, wait about 10 seconds, then use the recovery windows.bat?

At worst you will just have to take the battery out if it doesn't work...

If it still won't work I'd suggest you use the guide for Tiny Core Linux. It's foolproof and you won't hit any driver issues.

Reflash whatever ROM you are running over the top of your current ROM in recovery. You shouldn't have to wipe to do this and it should restore your clock.

If it still persists, then wipe and then flash your ROM in recovery.

This would cause more problems than it would solve. Calm down! I understand that you are frustrated, but this corner of the xda community is young and many are still figuring out these phones. And while your problem seems like a big deal to you, it does not rise to the level of dev work. They are working on making all of our phones better and faster, not fixing your widget.

Here is my suggestion. Go to settings, applications, manage applications, click on HTC sense, then clear data.

This will cause you to have to redo your pages, but might fix your widgets.
