could it be like a usb driver for an hd2 with no os or rom loade on to it

on my old hd2(i got another 1 now so it really doesnt matter now) i think it was bricked cause i think i flashed da wrong radio or something but it wouldnt turn on nor charge but when i connect it to my pc it would pick up as qualcomm technologies msm or something instead of a mass storage device or activesync. so i was thinking maybe dat driver lets u install da rom by jutting copying da files over to da device(not da nbh file but da nbh extracts)

Don't let the "CDMA" in the name fool you, that's just poor naming. It is what I said -- installing the 6.1 WMDC update installs the relevant components to satisfy this.

I am sorry to hear that.. maybe U have brick Ur TMO-HD2.

the same to my HD2. I flash the TW rom into my hd2..and it can't boot and charge ,when I get it to my PC(WIN XP).show the qualcomm technologies msm.. I do so many for it. but no results.

I bricked mines to :(

[EVO 4G General] randymac88:
This updated bricked my non-rooted, normal, perfectly running no light-leak or battery issue EVO 4G.

To add insult to injury, when I returned the phone to the Sprint store where I got it, I was told that they didn't have any in stock and wouldn't until "Thursday or Friday". In addition, due to what I would consider to be a very minor scratch on the bezel (not on the screen), which they didn't even notice until I pointed it out to them, they would need to charge me a $25 restocking fee. I argued that this was Sprint's problem not mine, I just downloaded an OTA update to fix a bunch of bugs that were in their software. They said it was policy and there was nothing that could be done about it. And if I wanted to exercise my 30-day out, it would be a $50 restocking fee.

After getting home and calling Sprint to complain, I learned that the store I bought the phone at was actually *not* an official store, rather an independent store called "Sprint Store by InMobile" that only *looked* like a real Sprint store. There is honestly no way to tell the difference. I'm new to Sprint, ditched my beloved iPhone for this thing, how am I supposed to know the difference between a real sprint store and one that's just trying to look like one?

I feel like I've been totally duped. So now I have no phone for a week while I wait to pay $25 for a new phone that actually works the way it was advertised.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
posting here will do what ? make you feel better ?
[EVO 4G General] muncheroo:
hey man. totally feel for ya. i feel front line employees in a lot of corporate stores have a personal vendetta against their customers... they'll use 'rules' to try to piss off anyone that comes across them...

anyways, i would email sprint customer care... they will take care of you in 99% of cases. this is better than calling because there is a higher chance of you getting tier 2 / tier 3 support and you have written documentation of their promises. just explain exactly what happened and those sensible people will hook you up. good luck and let us know what happens.
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
I didn't know XDA was the new LiveJournal.

Sorry you had such a bad experience.
[EVO 4G General] grants04:
I'm really sorry to hear about this, randy. I agree with muncheroo. I'd be willing to bet that if you emailed customer service, you'd find someone who was willing to put a $25 credit on your account for your trouble.

Look on the bright side: at least you can hold your phone with your left hand! :)

(just a little humor to lighten the mood) Hang in there!
[EVO 4G General] randymac88:
Posting here will document my problems, potentially alert other members of my issue (and hopefully helping them avoid an issue), and provide some small form of repercussion against Sprint and InMobile for potential new customers.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
I agree that the update bricking devices is unacceptable, but You have to wait because the evo is out of stock everywhere. Not the store's fault. Also, why in the world would you want to point out that your phone has a scratch? You're lucky they're even letting you exchange it, the phone is supposed to be in like new, mint condition if it's going to be returned.
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
Also there is no restocking fee for doing the 30-day return.

http://www.sprint.com/landings/returns/

Just tell the store to suck it. But if you're upset that you have to wait, you're in the same boat with a few people. I am waiting for my local RadioShack to get some so I can swap it out. Nothing can be done about it, the phone is in high demand.
[EVO 4G General] prjkthack:
Check your local laws for information on restocking fees. Most states have some type of limit or just outright make them illegal. But places continue to charge them because hey, who reads laws anyway, right? Hah.

That being said, while Sprint does not charge a restocking fee for cancellations/returns, third parties certainly can of their own free will.

Also, from Sprint's 30 day guarantee - "If for any reason you’re not happy and want to cancel service, just call us to deactivate and return to the original place of purchase to return your undamaged phone or mobile broadband card and we’ll:"

Notice the word "undamaged" there. So if Sprint were to review your unit and consider it damaged, that would essentially mean the benefits of the 30-day guarantee would not apply for your phone (and thus, you may be subject to a restocking fee). I don't know how anal Sprint is about that undamaged part, but just a heads up.

In any case, Sprint CS is absolutely wonderful so i would try giving them a call or shooting them an e-mail.
[EVO 4G General] randymac88:
Appreciate the ideas guys, thank you. I told them about the scratch after they said the phone "has to be completely free of any scratches or marks". In my opinion, this is regular wear and tear, it's not like it's got some gash on the side and a broken front panel, and I didn't agree with the rule. If Sprint broke the phone with their dumb update, then Sprint needs to replace the phone. This is their fault, not mine. The scratch caused a small part of the edge to be roughed up, it didn't brick the phone.

Apparently though, the store can charge me the restocking fee because they're not an official sprint store...so, apparently the normal rules don't apply. I still contend it was misleading and really looks like a corporate store.
[EVO 4G General] gunnyman:
Good Luck Randymac. You guys being harsh are really being asses. Email Sprint like others have suggested. The only way to get anywhere with their telephone support is to say you want to cancel your account as soon as they answer the phone.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
Post Pics of the Store and one of its employees :) Let us make that observation.

All joking aside though. By posting something like this only adds to the Tech. bloggers that reads these forums and add fuel to the already big fire they like to flame to get readers. Sprint nor the store did you wrong. They are out of phones and I am sure they wish there were not as they only make money when phones are in stock. Ask customer service what you can do in the meantime to accommodate your unfortunate situation. Perhaps a temp phone you can use. If the sprint store reseller you purchased it from could let you borrow a phone they have laying around( I am sure they do ). I have had AT&T and TMOBILE accommodate me on that one before.

Good luck and be patient.
[EVO 4G General] jigglywiggly:
Why post in the first place?

Being an ass doesn't help.

To the TC, if you had the ability, I would tell them you were leaving and get a Droid X. That's just downright assholish of them.
[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
Well it seems it's sprint's fault. You of course should get a refund of your billing since you bricked due to them.

Here's a quote from

https://twitter.com/unrevoked

@Sprint: If you accidentally apply the #evo4g OTA twice, your phone becomes a brick. We think it's the radio fw update. Plans to fix?
[EVO 4G General] randymac88:
I just might post pics to make my point here (I won't really). The outside of the store had only a big Sprint logo and "SPRINT" above the door. The employees wear black polo shirts with a small Sprint logo and the word "SPRINT" above the left breast. Looks real enough for me...

I don't fault Sprint necessarily...I just feel like I got the shaft here. I have to pay $25 for them to fix their problem. Because the store I bought the phone at, despite looking like a Sprint store, and is listed on the Sprint website, actually isn't a real sprint store. But its not a Best Buy, and its not a Radio Shack either. Maybe I should've known, but it just seems a little misleading to me, and because of it I feel wronged.

They have no loaner phones, so I am without a working phone until maybe they get one in at some point. They credited me for the days without, but that's it.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Go to a corporate store that does repairs. Use sprint.com to check this. They may be able to restore your evo.
[EVO 4G General] mikevillarroel:
I changed mine a week ago because of the screen separation issue, but let me tell you, the phone had mayor scratches in the 4 corners(it went down the very first day) and the girl in Best Buy not even checked it, she only checked the serial number, so i guess i was lucky.

Oh btw, i bougth this time the Black tie protection plan for 6.99 just in case
[EVO 4G General] convexmacrolabs:
If your phone is broken, you should be able to get it fixed under warranty. It sounds like you are only getting hit with the restocking fee because you are trying to return/exchange it rather than have it repaired.
[EVO 4G General] knives of ice:
Go get your phone back. You really should have never taken it back I'd bet for certain people on this site would have helped you and it really wasn't bricked
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
How'd you brick it? Turn it off when booting?
[EVO 4G General] randymac88:
No I fell victim to the "second update". It sat on my desk and just died. I never touched it once as it was installing/bricking.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
I agree with you on the Sprint knock-off versus Sprint Corporate store issue. It is Sprint's fault for not giving these stores a break in pricing and forcing them to charge more than a corporate store. Same with Best Buy. Sprint should be forcing these sellers to keep pricing the same by offering them bulk rates.

It also really erks me when they say they can't help me do something because they aren't an official Sprint store. BS...if you put the Sprint sign on your building then you represent Sprint and better get it solved!

[/rant]
[EVO 4G General] patelkedar91:
Sorry to hear about your troubles. Sprint really is not that bad.

Like others have said, call them now and complain just like you did here. If you are lucky then they will send you a new evo, if in stock. And they do super fast one day shipping.

Just keep complaining and don't let go.

[About XDA developers] Demon_man:
Ok so this is a question of some sort maybe a request, what's the chance the [PROJ] Linux and Android on HD2 aka HTC LEO thread can be locked down to just the devs that are working on doing the project, take a look at the posts been done today for example, its getting harder to find out what is actually going on and being achieved when there is so much re-posting going on in there.

It would make it a hell easier for people that are interested to find out what's happening with the project if it was just full of how the project is going posts, what they have achieved and what hasn't been achieved so far posts, I was going to quote a few posts but i don't wanna pick on individuals really.

So what you reckon mods??? pretty please

also how about a sticky containing locked threads that have been solved so people cans search there first to try and find there answers they could be appropriately name, i guess that might be to much hard work though? and not many people search either lol.

Sorry, but it is not possible with the vB software we have at the moment.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modplan:
I'm a SE and just got the EVO (my first Android phone) and looking to do some Android tinkering.

I had an idea for a Locale plugin that would change your PRL based on your location for better reception and had a few questions:

1) Is this even possible?

2) I assume you would have to enter your MSL into the plugin for it to use?

3) Would you have to be rooted?

4) Can the restart after you do a manual PRL be avoided?

I am hoping that the plugin will just require root and will just have to move the PRL file from the SD card to a directory on the phone and the phone will begin using it, but I am not sure it is going to be that easy.

Basically I just want to automate a manual PRL change, without the reboot, which should be possible as a reboot is not required after you do an OTA PRL update.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:

4). No need to reboot. Just down/up the phone services.

Thanks, but that is just how to change the PRL manually. I want to do it via an app that I write. I have one PRL that works great at my office, but not great at home. So I have to change the PRL every morning when I leave and then every afternoon when I get back home. I want to automate this via a Locale plugin.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
##PRL## (using the numeric codes for PRL, of course)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modplan:
Ok, maybe im not making myself clear.....

I want to write an app that will change your PRL based on your location or other settings (a Locale Plugin). To do this I need to AUTOMATE the change of a PRL using a specified PRL file, just as done in ##PRL# but have it done automatically by my app.

Does that make more sense?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skantman69:
makes plenty of sense to me.... Not sure if a program can be written with that kind of power over the phone OS to automatically make the change.... Good luck on that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modplan:
Anyone know where the PRL is stored on the phone? no way it is a simple overwrite with the new PRL file and then down/up the phone services? :confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_black03:
to my knowledge the PRL file is stored within the baseband which is in another file system all together if memory serves. Ive re-rooted and restored my phone several times and based on my reception in my house, my prl file has never changed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modplan:
Hmmm, that makes me wonder if in fact the PRL is not stored in any part of the ROM or if the PRL in the ROMs you flashed was just a similar or the same version of the one you already had. From one PRL to the next barely anything changes, for example from 60666 to 60667 the only thing that changed was a tower was added for a small town in MD, yet all of us received the update.

I am actually looking to switch to techknowfile's PRL when at work and then the stock Sprint PRL when at home (I get no reception from his PRL when at home). If I can figure out how to do this, I can slap it in a Locale plugin fairly easy, the API is dead simple.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amw2320:
You don't seem to be getting a lot good info, but in my own humble opinion that would be a great app. Seems to me that if a provider can push a prl without having to reset the phone or make you enter the MRL it can be done.

My question would be how is the prl controlled and read within the phone. If there is no registering with the tower I would believe that you shouldn't even need the MPL on a fully rooted phone.

If I my technical skills were more than just theories I'd be jumping in to help you out. Good luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modplan:
Thanks, from what I understand, there is no registering with the towers. I've read that you could put a straight Verizon PRL on a Sprint phone and use all of Verizons towers (that Verizon allowed you to use based on contracts with Sprint, because the towers would know you were a Sprint customer) and your phone would think that you were not roaming because it would see them all as Home (Sprint) towers, but in the end you would see data roaming on your usage of course. This however would technically let you "force roam" for use in situations where you had a super weak Sprint signal that the phone just barely holds on to and a pretty decent Verizon one (aka my office).

My HD2 is brand new but because I have windows 7 and outlook 2010 in 64 bit I cannot sync my data with wmdc, will I need wmdc to install apps and programs like skype?
