Make sure you named the file correctly. You do not rename it to "update.zip" because it already adds the ".zip" file extension to the back. Just name the folder "update". I made this mistake, so I'm thinking you may have done the same thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
yeah..maybe general, but I'd suggest using ROM Manager from the market..it puts a recovery there for ya
[EVO 4G Android Development] JasjarMan:
Thanks for that. I tried it but it tells me an error occured while attempting to run privilaged command. Its like my phone got un rooted!

I will wait for this thread to be moved were its suppose to be.

My guess would be that your microSD is corrupt. Assuming you're running Windows, pull any files you need off the card and save them, then re-format the card with:

FAT32 (default)

quick format

4096 bytes

Once the card has been reformatted, put your files back on and try it again.

Okay, so 3 evos bought from sprint.com on launch day.

3 all have light leakage; mine is really bad and also sounds like they're talking though a kazoo!

Called sprint 1800, they said that a sprint store had to put a note on my account.

Went to the closest store they told me could put a note on my account, that store said they couldn't for the evo as it was to new, so they sent me to another store, which was just like the frist one, and the second one sent me farther up the road to the corp store. The corp store said that since we were new custs, we didn't need a note on our account that they should have just sent up 3 new phones without questions, but they put a note just in case.

Came home, called sprint back up, the guy said that they couldn't send 3 new phones out to us because they didn't have any in stock, and to call back when sprint.com had more in stock.

Sprint.com has them in stock, so I called back first thing this morning (2.5 weeks later) and the guy is ready to send them to us, but then he says oh, you have a new account, you have to take them to the store and get new ones because until you're a cust for 3 months we can't bill anything extra to your card.

They sure have some dumbasses working for them.

I want one of the new ones from sprint.com, not the old ones from the sprint store. :(

Called the sprint store and they said that they have a huge waiting list for when they get more phones in and to call back and get a different person on sprint 1800. :|
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
I think someone should look into HTC's QA procedures..

Mine has light leakage too, but for 3 of them? Super bad batch lol.

TBH though, it's hard enough to get 1 of these phones.

Did you really think you'd be able to show up at sprint and replace 3 of them at once??
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
No, I expected sprint.com to send me 3 new ones like they said they would. They said (over 2 weeks ago) to call them back when sprint.com had more phones in, well this is the first time they have in weeks, so I called back and the guy said that since we were a new customer, that wed have to exchange them at the sprint store.

:|
[EVO 4G General] nunyabiziz:
Im sorry to hear about your issue, try and call in to account services and demand replacements or cancel. Worst case is and I do know that it would be easier said then done but CANCEL. If you can get them from RS or BB, you would end up saving some money too. I called in and spoke with Tech Support and they sent me a replacement without the fussed.
[EVO 4G General] realKURE:
I bought mine from Radio Shack n my phone has a faulty camera. I've been trying to exchange mine for two weeks n it's been a nightmare for me too. I called sprint customer service n they told me that anyone who demands a replacement now will receive a refurbished phone and to cancel my account with RS n order from Best Buy... So I called BB n of course they said they have no available pre-orders left. So my only option now is to cancel my acct with RS n wait til new Evos will be in stock everywhere (in 3 years lol). Waaack :mad:
[EVO 4G General] evoxsin:
similar

same thing happened to me. mine has minimal backlight leaking under the home key (now its starting to shine under the other three soft keys) anyway...i went to the corporate store so they could note my account. then for a so called "device exchange" (online orders support) sends me an exchange kit, in which i am to mail my current device when i receive the new one, wich could go past my 30 day thing, wich became irrelevant because the "note" on my account ment that even if the device is on backorder as soon as it becomes available it gets shipped out to me at no cost (LIE) in order for online sales support to send me out a new one i have to pay for it:confused: so bassically i return the first device they credit my card back this is also called a refund in most cases. but they call this an "exchange". after paying another $350 they would send out the replacement.

at that point i told the rep, cancel everything because im not paying another $350 so they could send me a device when it becomes in stock. i told her i would contact htc and have this taken care of under the manufactures warranty free of charge. she said she had to check with her supervisors. which she did and she agreed. case closed, i will wait past my 30 day probably around september ill contact htc and have them replace my evo for a mint one because of screen separation from improper manufacturing.
[EVO 4G General] evoxsin:
actually sprint dot com gets batches every week(dont quote me). as soon as the warehouse gets them in stock they ship out to those who are put on the so called "list"
[EVO 4G General] _Burst_:
Oh god. >.<

I started this process today and am already getting the shaft/run around.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Corporate stores is near me so I'll go there directly, and I've been a customer for well over 3 months, and I don't mind waiting for a new batch to come in, so I should have no problem right? :)
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Well I'm going to call back tomorrow until I get someone that knows what the hell they're doing.

If nothing works, will cancel, or I'll threaten to cancel and cause them more headache in the end. I want a new phone and if they don't give me 3 new ones, then they're worse than att.

I'll email the prez office and start *****in.

The corp store said that since we were new custs, they didn't even need a note on the account in the first place. So the people are order support are either dumbasses or don't want to exchange them, so they give you the run around.
[EVO 4G General] Unguided:
To all the forum readers. First off this is my first post so b kind please. A friend of mine had a similar problem with Verizon. He tried and tried to get his problem resolved with them directly. After having no luck, he called the consumer protection agency. They in turn contacted verizon. After a week, they filed a lawsuit against verizon and within a week verizon had his problem resolved. I dont know if this could help you guys out but thought i would throw it out there anyway. Hope this helps. Unguided
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I would just cancel while you're in your 30 days. Obviously the local Sprint stores in your area suck and have terrible customer service..

Don't be stuck with 3 phones you find defective. at the point you're at now i dont even think i would try to exchange anymore. i would just walk in and cancel.

maybe its a blessing in disguise and you will end up with a nicer phone a little later on.
[EVO 4G General] xavier1022:
Ok guys.. I've been on the same boat for the past 3 weeks... I got my evo from RS on launch day. I've had dead pixels and screen separation. I finally got a call from store manager today saying that Evos are still on backorder but Sprint has released a few for new customers with issues... cmon guys you have to understand that Sprint is dependant on HTC for these devices..HTC is to blame here. We shouts get Consumer agency on their arse. This QA is really hurting their pockets too. I'd rather wait a month and get a fully repaired evo, instead of a crappy fast fix... Look at the bright side at least we don't have to hold our phones a certain way in order to make a call... lol

The sprint store I went to offered me a refurb or said i need to go out to one of the sprint repair centers. (went to return the evo because of the light leak and screen lag)

Called sprint tech support, explained the situation. He put me on hold while he called the store, then came back on the phone and said the store manager has a new one for me I could pick up before they close.

Anyway, as I was walking in he opened the cabinet and pulled out a new one and set in on the counter, then set it all up and I did the exchange :D

The sprint store people there are not very personable. They don't strike me as the best type of people to be giving support.

Anyway, I'm happy yet again :)

The one I got is an 003 novatek, doesnt have light leak yet ;). The other line we got on launch day is an 003 epson (i think it's an epson because it looks very different from mine, although i haven't actually checked dmesg) - and that has no light leak issues like mine did.

i have 32b magic. i flashed spl and it stuck on htc magic screen.

did i brick it ? if so is there any solutions.

it seems like as same as g1 brick theory. no bootloader, no usb, no adb, no rom, no recovery.

any solutions and ideas ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xiserre:
If you turn on your phone with power + back, will it enter in fastboot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TheForgotten:
If you cant get into fastboot, or anything it really is a brick. Go on eBay and buy a device thats the same just with something broken (ex.screen) and just perform some surgury and you have yourself a working device on the cheap.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Wait... this isn't related to developing roms. How did it jump from General to Development? Very strange. Don't worry, I'll fix it. I would hate to have to close this thread and ban the OP for a day for posting in the wrong section.

it is bricked like g1's i think any jtag for magic :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewzee:
Even though I can get root through the terminal, SetCPU says that there is no root-access detected. Any ideas?

NVM: for some reason, even though SetCPU was enabled in the SU Permissions app, it still wouldn't access it. I don't know what happened, but when I doublechecked the permissions app again to make sure(and it was still enabled) then reopened setcpu, it was able to gain su. WTF?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gewoontim:
What about the mic, is it working? Thanks for your help to the hero community. Are you going to return to us? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
This happens because some of the libs (HTC + android) are meant to be dl-opened and some are prelinked.

You can always play around with ldd to find which are dynamic and which aren't.

libaudio / libaudioeq / libhardware_legacy tend to cause problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lox_Dev:
Touch screen is now working, was kernel related. But proprietary libs are still not getting linked correctly...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lox_Dev:
I can send voice commands to the phone witch are recognized.

I do not belong to anyone. I do the work I need for me, or concerning Hero, for my girlfriend needs. I just share it, that is all.

But please do respect the " [dev] " in the thread subject and do not pollute and wait for a release.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Can you give these libs a try?

I created a full Froyo build with HTC propitiatory drivers.

Let me know if you need anything else.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lox_Dev:
I tried but same error. So u managed to build/run it from source? Is your vendor or device tree somewhere online ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
I have build it from source yea and got booted up. Although I am having a lot of issues with FC's. I used the sapphire tree with edits and used the 2.1 Hero proprietary drivers to compile it correctly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vorcigernix:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] qpop:
in fairness RaduG compiled Cyan 5.0.7 from Source. He's been on holiday since before Froyo sources were released ;) (AND RaduG is 17!)

But definately, Lox is one of the forefront devs to have looked at Hero, along with Paul, MoDaCo who prefers to deal with Sense than Cyan

Im quite looking forward to trying this. Thank you for your hard work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
it doesn´t mind for me if the camera is not working because i do not use it, but only if you can´t solve it, i think that you can release it and then make an update.zip fix for the camera like other devs.

but whitout any hurry, this is only my opinion.

i can´t wait to flash this.

good job man.;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
It must be fun to know that xda and twitter get hammered by people waiting for a download link :). Great effort, Lox. Again you start the route to a great variety of Froyo Roms on our not yet old-fashioned Heroes :D

Thanks for making your source tree public and let others benefit from your findings. Nice stroke.

Things you might want to test: (you asked on twitter)

- Proximity sensor

- Brightness sensor

- Location searching through WLAN

- Gmail sync

- Full market access

- Alarm clock

- su (root)

BTW: Can't wait to modify my Exchange password policy removal tool to work on Froyo. If you need assistance in testing, let me know :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:

Here it is. I haven't really tested it much so I guess it's obvious that I take no responsibility if it eats all your email and/or sets fire to your house... :-)

There are still some issues. The width of an open email is a bit unpredictable. It tends to be larger than the screen if the email has attachments.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
anyone else finding their signal is far worse in poor signal reception areas than with other roms? my bars indicate strength of 4, then 3, then 2, then none (no single), and while I wouldn't care if that was only a visual thing, my performance matches. wife's stock hero was fine, getting/receiving calls in our house, my 2.2 hero couldn't do it (was fine with 2.1 vr12) , or only sporadically, we both moved out to the porch where reception is always better and we were both great, maybe my reception was better. very strange... using recommended radio but .14 radio did the same thing.

a minor-ish quibble but important enough. I mentioned this in the nightly thread for the sake of the developers but am posting it here in case other users see it and want can share their results.

My bluetooth worked flawlessly today, quicker and nicer than with 2.1 roms or with 1.5 (which was always flaky). tried latest nightly and can see they're obviously researching the camera problem (love the testbench-looking funky camera images in current nightly LoL).

so its' really down to that low level reception problem being the only truly serious issue I have now.

Another guy at work has a rooted hero too, I'll try to get him to flash this and see what he finds too.

does this enable our traditional ext-based apps2sd with auto-move to partition once enabled?

or does it enable our ext-based app2sd without auto-move so we have to remove and then reinstall our apps for them to go to ext (or maybe use amon-ra to move them??)

or does it enable the froyo apps2sd which will let us move apps to sd fat partition using the applications menu?

I did it, no errors, nothign changed, still only 18 megs free in main data area.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petsasj:
Yea same for me. Reception is not that good. In places i used to have 4 bars, i now get 4 then 3 then 2 then none, etc. Until it gets a signal again and the same thing happens again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
thank you for confirming this. I'm relieved that I'm not the only one :-)

odd problem though... rom-related signal problems, but not specifically radio-related heh heh. bizarre.

Is the call quality and/or data transfer speed affected?

Could just be a graphical issue maybe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Summered:
Hah, the exact same thing that crossed my mind :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
no, it's a dramatic difference, not in my head at all. (good thought though - we can all fall into that trap at times)

I can hardly talk on the phone at the office, at home, at my friend's house. tons of static, cutting out, terrible reception, dropped signal.

was perfect before in all of those buildings, with a very rare dropped signal at my house.

this is a real issue, and is a very serious very dramatic problem if you're in a less than ideal reception area.

(sorry, sounded cranky but wasn't meant to be, removed comment :-)

cheers LoL :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
both. call quality, ability to make and receive calls at all, and data.

wifi however is perfect. and a brief bart return to vr12 confirmed this - vr12 is excellent in the same building, in the same room. So it's a very strange issue...

I also tried installing the free market app "No Signal Alert" - it goes off fairly often inside buildings. something is up...

UPDATE: do you suppose it's relevant that when I try to search for available networks when I'm showing poor signal level I can't find anything? yet sitting in this same chair it at other times goes to 2 bars and shows several local networks ok as expected, and once in a while it jumps up to 4 bars (with flawless voice calling reception, but it doesn't last long enough for me to know if data transfer speeds improve even more at 4 bars, sorry).

when it's at 4 bars, I have excellent reception and data speed. at 2 bars, I have crappy reception and data speed, (100% totally obvious issues, like we can't hear each other talking due to static many times). when it's at zero bars I can't make/receive calls or use data, only wifi works then.

battery usage

has anyone else noticed the excellent battery life with this rom ??

or am i just imagining it?

the only issues i have is the camera not displaying the view finder image + it crashes out when you try to use the zoom.

also the voice search doesn`t work for me.

other than that it seems great, especially battery life.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yes, really good!!

I had one issue last night with charging though. I moved myself to sleep on the couch part way through the night (don't ask) while phone was charging and about 80% done. brought phone, still attached to charger, with me to couch, plugged 'er in, didn't see a charging light reappear when plugged in. fell asleep, when woke up was only at 75% charged, so obviously it didn't start charging again when plugged into the ac the second time (phone may have thought there was an issue with charger since still plugged but no ac? just theorizing...).

is this a dumb user issue? like would it only start charging if unplugged from usb charge cable and then reattached (and is that something I should have known LoL)? it seems sort of strange to me, but I don't know if it's specific to froyo. I have a vague feeling that I've read about this on some 2.1 roms on the hero along the way, but I could be remembering incorrectly.

Hmm... This is a bit weird. I've just noticed that I've lost all input prediction in stock keyboard as well as in Scandinavian keyboard. I've tried reinstalling Scandinavian keyboard from market but no change. Is anyone else seeing this?

Update: Seems it's a combination of missing dictionaries (in stock keyboard) and a Froyo incompatibility in Scandinavian Keyboard. My mistake!
