Did you ever successfully use unrevoked's flash utility? If you just downloaded rom manager and booted in to recovery without successfully flashing, that won't work.

If you're having problems using the reflash tool then I suggest you get that working and then try again installing a rom.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcberg2010:
Use terminal emulator to verify u have su.. Just type su and click accept, if u can do that follow word for word unrevoked reflash method, including installing the correct drivers for adb.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdavid216:
i just did terminal emulator and i get root acess, #, superuser comes up and allows me to access it, so I will try again but for some reason I get that communication was interuppted.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdavid216:
hey, thanks to all you guys I finally got the custom ROM to work. I did the revoked flash, i had to delete the old htc driver and start again, and once it finally flashed just mounted the sd card and installed, worked perfectly, thanks again!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentoe:
glad you got it working!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcberg2010:
Congrats man, good to hear you finally got it working.

Hi just got the phone and it really is amazing. first thing I can't help moving the screen quite close to my face and noticing the individual leds making all text look kinda fuzzy, is this the same for everyone. e.g. the black lines around text appear to have red dots running around them.

Also can the youtube player play hd content as it doesn't seem to look hd (especially next to my colleges iphone 4 - danm him lol)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thephawx:
The fuzzy text or screen door effect is caused by the PenTile Matrix. You really have to use the advantage of Chrome lite to make reading more pleasant. While it's possible to read text while fully zoomed out, it will not be as crisp as the iPhone 4's display at a zoomed out level.

Instead what you should do is zoom in a little and double-tap on the text. Chrome lite will re-flow the text so you only have to scroll vertically.

In the youtube player, the videos will default to lower quality. While the video is playing, you have to go to the menu, choose "more" and select High Quality mode.

That should alleviate it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] badasschris:
Hi thanks for your reply,

I have sen youtube to high quality but it still doesn't look hd to me, is it just me expecting too much or does anyone else agree it doesnt look hd?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Carrr:
Agree on the youtube issue. Definitely not HD.

I also tried the "Youtube HD" update from the Evo rom. Looks like it just replaces the menu quality option with a HQ bottom in the lower right corner, but looks exactly the same as with the stock app in so called HQ mode.

Anyone found a solution?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] raybez:
Hi,

First off these forums have been a huge help since I first rooted my Magic back in August. So, a big thank you to everyone to begin with.

I tried scanning the forums to solve this new problem I'm having, but I've lost my Amon RA recovery installation and want to get some explicit help since I know if I do this wrong I'll be bricking my phone.

Here's my setup:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

May 27 2009 19:06:41

CyanogenMod 5.0.7 final

I had Amon RA installed up until today - an old version (around 1.3 I think) and since CM 5.0.8 was available via ROM Manager I thought I'd give that a try. But ROM Manager made me install Clockwork Recovery, overwriting Amon RA, and the installation of Clockwork failed or something. When I try to boot up into recovery, it just hangs at the green MyTouch screen.

I read the installation notes for Amon RA 1.7, but I could use some advice on how to do this without winding up with a brick. I can still boot into CM 5.0.7, but without a recovery image I don't think I'll ever update anything again since I can't do backups/restores.

The three installation options for Amon RA are:

- via fastboot: Can't use this, I don't think I have an engineering SPL.

- via adb: Can't use this, I can't boot into recovery at all

- via terminal: The BIG BOLD WARNING about not using this on CM 5.0.7 is pretty scary.

Can anyone help a brother out here? I'm stuck.

Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions or hints.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Try holding down the menu button while booting your phone up.

Keep holding until it starts to boot or for at least 30 seconds or so.

Make sure you flash the appropriate recovery. Did you have Amon_Ra G or H version prior to clockwork?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] raybez:
What is Menu+Power supposed to do when booting? I tried and the phone just booted up normally.

If I hold Home+Power which used to boot me into Amon RA (it was ~1.3G btw) the phone just sits at the green MyTouch bootimage screen.

Booting into fastboot via Back+Power works normally. If I had the right SPL I'd be set.

I guess the big question is, is installing Amon RA via terminal on CM5.0.7 possible yet, or are the memory problems kernel related and unavoidable without an upgrade?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
The problem is supposedly fixed in 5.0.8. I've personally had a couple of issues flashing the Clockwork Recovery where the recovery would seem to flash alright but it would just hang at the splash screen. I found that if you held the Menu button while pressing the power button will allow the device to boot. Afterwards, if you flash the SAME recovery a second time it will work 99% of the time.

An alternative solution would be to use the goldcard method.

Create a nandroid backup before starting

Create your goldcard (if you don't already have it from your previous rooting process)

You should now have SHIP-S OFF. This will allow you to use fastboot.

Fastboot flash the latest radio again just in case (don't want to risk bricking).

Fastboot flash your recovery (1.7.0G)

Fastboot flash your stock hboot (spl)

Reboot while holding the home button and you should be looking at your new recovery.
[EVO 4G General] infamousjax:
About a week ago, I sent an email to all the HTC brass inquiring about the 30FPS cap that most of us are familiar with. An hour later, I received a "canned response", from one of their customer service reps assuring me that this was done "on purpose" to maximize battery life as well as enhance the user experience.

Story short, Keith Nowak, presumably a high ranking HTC exec, sent me back an email with a lengthy explanation of why the cap was in place. I was originally going to write a story about it for the blog I work for, however, it just doesn't seem worth it now since the information he's given me is basically the same thing that some of us have speculated. Interestingly enough however, he did retract the battery saving and user experience comments that I was first given.

Anyways, check it out:

Hi Adam-

My apologies for the delay in responding, we were investigating this issue, and I wanted to be sure I understood all of the facts before I responded.

Regarding the 30 FPS limitation on the HTC EVO 4G. This is simply a limitation of the hardware used in the device. The HDMI output that delivers HD content is, as you would expect, very resource intense, and as such, puts a limit on the output that can be used for the main display. However, even though there is a 30 FPS limitation, this is roughly equivalent to what most video content (TV and movies) is filmed in (24-30 FPS), meaning that in the vast majority of cases, this is not going to pose any issues for end users.

We have seen reports of a hack that purports to “fix” this, but after investigation, it turns out that this hack is simply allowing data to be pushed through the display interface at a higher speed than it can reasonably handle – resulting in, as you would expect, a choppy, unacceptable image of very poor quality.

I am not sure where information regarding “enhancing the user experience” or “maximize battery life” – but if it came from HTC, please let me know, and we will address the issue, as this is not correct information.

Best-

Keith Nowak

[EVO 4G General] Jykinturah:
That is a downright lie. It is something he is simple overemphasizing about vsync issues with the Epson panel, which will be fixed because the devs here are hard at work.

Sure, it is a dirty hack, but the current method works fine. Completely, smooth and superb 'image quality,' and it makes it LESS choppy.
[EVO 4G General] rekphiv:
Hmm, they should just release all their sorce code so the devs here can tear it apart.
[EVO 4G General] KERKEDAGAIN:
..yeahhh..i'm not one to be quick to call bs, but come on! I'm running ffolkes Novatek kernel on Fresh 0.5.3 and again, maybe it is just some "hack"..but bottom line is the difference is night and day! The response time is outta this world!
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Sounds to me like he has no tech background, and that response was something that he was told to say. I wouldn't imagine at his position he would know the insides of phones and how they work or can be manipulated.
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
OP, you should reply back asking why use/waste all the resources on a feature that won't be used on a daily basis (maybe once or twice a month, if at all).
[EVO 4G General] Philosuffer:
OP, if you do reply back. Consider including a link to this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAjTo602sQM

That is nothing but improvement in display quality right there.

Video is from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=713311
[EVO 4G General] jmxp69:
Bull****. I made the video proving it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAjTo602sQM

Tell Keith to salvage his credibility he needs to produce an honest answer. Ask him if he wants to see my run Youtube, or an mp4 video, or anything else, to drop me a line. I'll be happy to continue demonstrating how wrong he is.
[EVO 4G General] coolguy949:
The topic on HTC's forum is on page 10. Let's make sure it stays on the front page so support realizes it's a huge customer issue.

http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/94/t/3186.aspx
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
c'mon, lets not start grilling and roasting htc execs. These people are trying to help us and have been very informative on assisting us with this NEW device.

chances are, like said above, he probably forwarded the email directly to the engineering department (probably to someone we cant directly connect with) and got this answer.

i say, to knock it off with all the pushing and shoving of the FPS issue, and lets not end up on their bad side. Theyve been doing a great job so far. If the devs simplify and figure out a better way for us to maximize FPS, then so be it... Its not worth calling people liars and dishonesty.
[EVO 4G General] coolguy949:
This makes me sad:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilx_cpGZczM
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
Really? Are you being serious? They are trying to help us, how? First, according to them, they are tying up all the resources due to HDMI, which may be a great feature, but is not going to be used by many at all. Second, yeah, they have been doing a great job so far, RIGHT. I guess that's why the Evo had the light leaks, screen separations, other issues as well with the phone so far like bad wifi signal and poor battery.

If they really want to help, they would have released the source code already.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
where can i get this "hacked" kernel from and will it kill the camera ?
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
The last HTC rep I spoke to has assured me that they're working on a fix for the 30FPS cap.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
+1

I am all for better FPS - but even with 30 fps can you honestly tell me you can tell the gears moving better? I can't tell. I have tried both. I went back to another ROM and its not enabled. I can't tell. I get smooth movement. I am not overclocked and my quadrant on 2.1 with no JIT, etc. is around 590.

I get 30fps on gears and 25.1FPS on NeoCore but without seeing those numbers I could not tell the difference between the two in regards to better frames. I have ran both. The only difference for me is the Froyo 2.2 EVOA which is smoother in screen transitions and can multi-task much better in regards to updating and installing severals apps at a time. Otherwise video has yet to create a margin that is noticeable to me.
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
It has nothing to do with gears moving faster and if you had applied the 30 fps breaking kernel you would see that everything in the os is snappier including scrolling, touch lag etc..
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
you could just try to play a simple game like doodle jump and you'll notice the difference immediately
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
Works just fine on the new OTA...
[EVO 4G General] dekayte:
Seriously. We need to just stop asking for a 30FPS cap fix and just keep asking for the source code because honestly, with the source code the devs could just fix most, if not all of this crap already.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
I do - I enjoy that game for a while now. I have it loaded on every ROM along with Robo Defense.

What is the BIG difference?

I notice little things about everything so when improvement is made I make comments. But there hasn't been much improvement in that area.

The camera much snappier and the pictures are much better in daylight. I took some great pictures to test at High Resolution and I am impressed with the camera. Before it was just so-so but now some of the pictures of the same images are greatly improved upon for sharpness and color saturation.

See so I do notice differences - perhaps not in the FPS but in other things :)
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
I'm guessing you haven't loaded the development kernel that removes the 30 fps because is night and day.

All those roms don't mean anything when the fundamental flaw is still present in all of them. Load it and tell me there isn't a huge difference. Its so obvious you'd need to have your eyes checked. Just the touch input lag from everything from swype to the notification tray to games and emulators is improved. Much less scrolling and the general feel if the os.
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
just try the kernel from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711964

it'll break the camera but it removes the fps cap
[EVO 4G General] jmxp69:
Great job? "It's hardware capped" "We did it to *improve* performance" "It's tied to HDMI, nothing you can do" Please....This "exec" clearly doesn't know what he's talking about and should do us a favor and get some HTC engineers on this forum with the source code to help XDA devs out.

They're selling a phone they imposed a software limit on to which they offer no reasonable or honest explanation and they knowingly kept this information close to the vest before launch day. I don't exactly consider this honest and ethical behavior.

I've been in sales for too many years to count, and there is one indisputable golden rule:

Take care of your customers or someone else will. Motorola has been on the ropes a few times in the last couple of years, but their last efforts have been stunning. DroidX crushes the Evo in performance and it has similar specs (albeit better graphics).

Frankly, I'm not a gamer, so I don't really care about the 3d/game performance, but there is an enormous difference between stock and hacked performance on 2d--enormous.
[EVO 4G General] gmelchert:
I was going to do a video like this tonight..

anyways, all that is true except hd video playback which is in the ****s with this kernel. and that might have been what the exec was talking about.

good video btw :)
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
I said I already did that. It's not night and day to me. Subjective..

I mainly use the EVO 8A Froyo anyways. My 2.1 Android is almost stock outside of a few tweaks. I have 5 different versions on my nandroid backup.

[HD2 General] ZoNoMo:
Weird problem - when I plug my phone into my PC via the USB cable, it charges (i can see the red light and the plug in icon) but the PC via WMDC doesnt see it. Nor can I see it when I view Computer. I have since did a factory HD2 reset and also uninstalled WMDC (twice) and reinstalled. Anyone know what the prob here is or how to fix? Thanks.:confused:
[HD2 General] :
Have you flashed any ROMs recently? I had this problem when I flashed a new ROM. My front USB ports were very slow, I don't even think they're 2.0 half the time as Windows tells me to plug stuff in faster ports but, to solve your problem I think you need to change how your phone acts when connected via USB to PC.

Go to Settings, Other and USB to PC and make sure its set to ActiveSync.
[HD2 General] M3PH:
That's not a solution it's a workaround and a crap one at that because all it is doing is disabling the usb rndis driver in favour of the much older and slower usb serial driver

I had this problem with my leo all last week. Then i went to my brothers place for thursday through saturday and had the same problem on his pc which runs windows xp pro sp3 (mine is windows 7 pro).

Turns out it was the phone itself. There seemed to be a problem with the tcpip stack, the rndis driver or the tcpip cache. Not sure which but a hard reset solved it and now everything is fine. Although thinking about it i only got the problem after enabling the tcpip cache tweak in bsbtweaks 1.6....... curious!
[HD2 General] BumAround:
Don't plug your phone to the front usb, instead plug it to the usb ports on the back of your computer which directly goes to the m/b.

Flashing new ROMS has nothing to do with this phenomenon.

Bad USB cable or bad usb port could sometimes cause this, too.
[HD2 General] ZoNoMo:
I have not flashed the ROM at all w this phone. I did do 2 hard Leo resets but still have the problem. Running Win 7 Pro, checked the USB settings on the phone and its all good. USB plugged into the back of the PC and have tried multiple ports. Dang. Any ideas?
[HD2 General] snekoza:
I had the same problem, I tried to connect it to several other PCs with no success, at the end hard reset solved it...
[HD2 General] M3PH:
if a hard rest doesn;t fix it then task 29 the phone and reinstall the rom
[HD2 General] BumAround:
Trust me, the prob is not with your phone, something to do with your PC. Any firewall program running, maybe?
[HD2 General] M3PH:
Sorry mate but your wrong. The PC is fine. It is actually the phone that is at fault.

My experiences last week prove this and with no modification to my PC but only a hard rest on the phone everything is now working fine. The same with my brothers machine. No modifications made to it just my phone and that works fine now too.

Both PC's are completely different including the operating system yet both displayed the same problem last week and both now work fine with only the phone being worked on. Combine this with the other comments here that confirm this and you still think the pc is at fault? i'd like to see some proof or some form of methodology.

Although i personally had never seen this problem before over the many winmo devices i've had i'm pretty confident that my IT systems diagnostics training is serving me well here but if you can prove otherwise i'll gladly admit i'm wrong.
[HD2 General] ZoNoMo:
sorry for the newbie question but how do you hard reset? i know how to soft reset via "clear storage". i don't have access to the manual right now. out of office.
[HD2 General] M3PH:
using clear storage is performinf the software version of a hard reset. it's not a soft reset.

the prefered way of performing a hard reset is to hold down both volume keys (make sure you do it firmly so both make contact) and then quickly tap the power button (do no hold it down at all) then hold the volume buttons until you see a warning. the rest will be obvious (printed on the phone screen)
[HD2 General] BumAround:
Sorry mate, *perhaps* your IT systems diagnostics training is serving you most complicated solutions, whereas *maybe* there's more simple solutions : (1)check if there's a firewall program running that block the phone's RNDIS driver to be "seen" by the PC, or (2)a case of bad USB cable, and then (3)your *methodology-proven* trouble-shooting method. :rolleyes:

I can say that because it happened to me, where after I take care of the firewall program, the phone gets detected immediately. :)

Cheers, mate.
