Actually, flashing the rom via Rom Manager and selecting wipe works just fine. Some roms have been known to not install correctly unless initiated using Rom Manager. Crazy, but effective! :cool:

Awesome job on this rom! Exactly what the rom should have been in the first place! I thank you very much!

is anyone else having data connection reset issues? just started for me yesterday... i didn't update the radio then.. but even after updating the radio about 2 hours ago i'm still having the same issue.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorin.bute:
I want to do a factory reset but i also want to wipe the cache on the device.

Is it recommended to do it for a factory reset or just when you install a custom rom? I have found these instructions for a custom rom but its not clear to me if i can do it for a factory reset:

So, if i can do it for a factory reset, when should i do it, before the factory reset or after?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cue_32:
If your goal is to just put it back to factory setting, what's the problem with JUST doing both resets anyway?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorin.bute:
I don't understand what those wipes do and if they are necessary when doing a FR. I've heard that it might help to wipe the cache in case i have a problem with the phone. That's why i'm asking. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cue_32:
Cache is cache... stored memory. Its like if you watch porn online, you wanna clear cache to ensure no one accidentally bumps in to your profile. ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorin.bute:
Ok, i understand i can clear the cache. When should it be done? Before or after a FR?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorin.bute:
Ok, someone please help. I bet the majority of you have custom roms and you know for sure how to wipe the cache before installing a custom rom.

Please share this knowledge with me. I'm gonna sell the device if i can't get any help. I'm tired of some issues with it.

I tried to enter the fastboot menu (or whatever is called) by pressing the power button + volume down + trackball but it reboots after the checking for an update.zip file because it fails to see any.

What do i do?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
Relax.

Do you have a custom recovery? If not, install one (if you want to install custom ROMs).

If you do, when the phone is powered down, press the power button and the volume down button at the same time. You will arrive at your custom recovery screen. Go to wipe and you will see that you can factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache, battery settings and rotate settings. I am under the impression that wipe factory data would wipe everything, including cache etc. In general, if you are switching between versions of a custom ROM, you can get away with wiping cache and dalvik cache without having to do a factory reset. If you are going to a completely new ROM then you should back up all apps with titanium backup, nandroid backup (in custom recovery menu) and then wipe (factory reset) and flash your new ROM.

If you do not have a custom recovery and want to install custom ROMs then use this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611829

I don't have a custom recovery image and i don't want to install anything else.

I want to know if its possible to wipe cache and dalvik cache on stock rom.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
I haven't dealt with stock recovery in a long time, but power down, hold power button and volume down at the same time. You will get to the recovery screen, select factory reset (or data wipe or whatever the option is), reboot and you are good to go. Don't worry about cache or dalvik cache.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorin.bute:
I tried that. The only options are Fastboot, Recovery, Clear Storage and simlock.

After i reach the screen i get the "checking sd...no image found " message.

Clear storage has only one option: Delete all user data? yes/no.

If i select recovery it reboots.

Does this mean i cannot access wipe dalvik cache?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
Delete all user data then. When do you see " no image found"? If you hit recovery and it sreboot then you need to flash the stock recovery again. Forget about wipe dalvik cache, that is not important if you are just trying to factory reset and may not even be available from a stock recovery (can't remember though).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorin.bute:
But that looks like Factory Reset to me. I was looking for a way to clear all possible cache. I've read on some other post that a guy cleared the dalvik cache and it solved some problems with his N1.

I guess i'll chose that one.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
I must have been confused by the title of your thread and your first sentence starting with " I want to factory reset ..." Honestly, I don't remember but wiping cache alone may not be possible with a stock recovery. Just factory reset, start over and that's your best bet to clear up any issues.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolemnWishing:
Honestly, there is no such thing. The G1's hardware simply cannot run Hero at a consistently reliable speed, ask experienced users on this forum. Pretty much everyone went through a "Hero phase", everyone tried it and eventually pretty much everyone abandoned it. Don't get me wrong, I loved Hero, it was amazing especially since it had Flash support, but it was just too slow for this first generation Android device.

VIEWER: 'New' Phone Loaded With Porn

Woman Says Third Party Sprint Store Sold Her Used Phone

POSTED: Wednesday, July 7, 2010

UPDATED: 9:42 am EDT July 8, 2010

DETROIT -- An Ann Arbor woman said she is waiting for an apology from Sprint after she bought a phone that had pornographic videos on it.

Watch: Woman Says New Phone Had Porn On It

Rhonda Lee said she bought what she thought was a new Sprint EVO HTC cell phone from a third party Sprint store in Westland.

The phone is usually sold unwrapped, but all of the pieces were wrapped.

When Lee showed off the high-tech phone to co-workers and friends, they discovered five pornographic video downloads.

Some of the explicit videos were as long as 11-12 minutes.

Lee said she was disgusted and mortified by the X-rated videos.

"I'm so, so embarrassed, you couldn't imagine … I mean for you to be going through your phone and you have friends and you're going through your phone and all of a sudden porn shows up. I mean so, so upset," said Lee.

When Lee tried to return it to the third party store, employees first denied that the phone had been used, but they later admitted that another man prior to her purchased it.

After a bit of a runaround, Lee said the Sprint corporate offices told her she could get a replacement phone at the Briarwood mall.

"What upsets me, I keep thinking about the what ifs, not just being me, but what if somebody bought it for it their kid? I have a lot of friends that are religious, what if it was given to them as a gift?" said Lee.

When Local 4 asked a Sprint salesman if it was common practice to sell used phones as new ones, he told us to contact the corporate offices.

The corporate offices have not yet responded.

Lee is a Local 4 viewer and e-mailed us her story.

That's upsetting.

From Team HTC Evo.
[EVO 4G General] baiatul:
This happened to a friend of mine, a lady, she contacted a lawyer and sued. It was Verizon. Multiple people from Verizon showed up at her lawyer's office. She didn't contact Verizon first. She went directly to the lawyer.

This happened in NYC. The phone was loaded with porn featuring Verizon store vendors. 2007 or 2008, I believe.

BTW, I don't know how much was the settlement, but it was 67% for her, 33% for the lawyer.
[EVO 4G General] Albaholic:
I'm disappointed, mine didn't have any. Maybe it's included in the OTA?
[EVO 4G General] im0rtalz:
I am outrage as well as a sprint customer I too want this extra bonus to come with my phone!!!
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
Why should Sprint apologize for a resellers mistake. Also Sprint should not be saying anything because they did not sell her a phone and should not have any employee risk saying something offhanded. It is best they refer it to corporate. The third party store should be the center of topic. The Local news channel is wrong for linking this to a coporate Sprint store.

What can someone sue for if porn was there when they are an Adult buying the phone? Nothing because people rarely win lawsuits over this kinda stuff. Kiddie pron perhaps.

I can leave that stuff on my phone and sell the phone. Whoops my bad that's all.

The news has lost all their integrity lately.
[EVO 4G General] abiezer:
Well that's not the problem, the problem is that they sold it to her as new.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
what if it was her porn, but she was embarrassed that her coworkers found it so she said it must have been put on there by the reseller? then it just spiraled out of control from there
[EVO 4G General] Zardos66:
Oh no, porn. The world in going to end.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
That's what happens when you don't seal the box!
[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
lmao.ill exchange my EVO for her's :D:D
[EVO 4G General] fimchick:
Yaaay!

Let's sue Sprint under the auspices of "what if a really religious friend of mine bought this for their kid and they were traumatized for life" so she can get a fat settlement, as a result of which the costs are passed on to the consumer.

We've become too litigious for our own good, and the rest of us end up paying for it (literally).

News flash lady -- even religious people have sex and know about porn.

Sprint should apologize, give her the phone for free and move on.
[EVO 4G General] MechaWolf:
Shouldn't Sprint have the records of what data was downloaded when to that phone? If they do, they can easily verify when the porn was downloaded and who had the phone at the time.
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
why is that the folks who can/would appreciate such things don't get them.

"we made our money the American way...we sued for it"

/sadface
[EVO 4G General] kevlar3d:
In my opinion, the sprint stores that are operated by third party are shady. There is a tremendous difference between a sprint store and a "sprint store". There is no way for a customer to tell if they are walking into a sprint store or a third party store just by looking at it. Perhaps if they walked in and asked a salesperson.

I bought my evo from a third party store and was charged for two activations and shipping costs despite picking it up from the store.

Sprint customer service actually disparaged their own store and said "some times our third party stores put additional charges on accounts like this". I made note that the store had a sprint sign on the building and she said "yeah i know its tough to tell unless you look on the website".

That being said, I wish I had an extra bonus on my phone when I got it.
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
Over the years, I’ve bought a lot of phones and have done a lot of returns/exchanges, mostly with Verizon up until this year. With all the carriers, I’ve now been told “don’t worry all returned phones get sent to a warehouse and all data is wiped.” I stopped listening to that when I got a Verizon replacement that had someone else’s contacts and pics (this happened 4 times over that past few years). I keep a lot of business data on my phones and so not only did I hard reset my Evo twice, I also used a nice Windows freeware app called Eraser, to secure wipe the Micro SD Card.
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
I bought my Evo knowing that it was a return to the Sprint store. Mine didn't come with porn, but it did come with several (~10) shots of a brunette in various places (bar, house, and a couple places I couldn't tell). I'm guessing it was the first owners girlfriend.

She was attractive, but she definitely wasn't naked!

Flash the stock rom via recovery or use nandroid to restore your Evo then try RUU one more time?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:
Sounds like a similar problem I was having a week ago... I couldn't load any of the DC ROMs, but I could install Fresh 0.3 (but not 0.5), Aloysious, and the 1.47 Rooted stock ROM. Try to install one of these, and see if they will load. Also, search for the PC36 file that is used to ROOT the phone. Put that on the SD card, power off, then hold Vol.Down and power on. It should try to find the PC36 file. If you get a message saying the main version is older, it is the EXACT problem I had... You will have to do Toast's part 2 of the ROOT to restore it. The biggest problem, is getting it to see the PC36 file. you will need to flash the mtd-eng file in toast's method. Where I had the problem, is I couldn't get the sd card to recognize in adb. Someone had posted up an ADB code to get the SD card mounted so it would be able to flash the mtd-eng file, but I can no longer fid that code.... Hopefully someone will see this and know what I am talking about...

Thanks guys I had tried most of these solutions before posting . Nothing would change my screen. I did fix it though... It was there easiest thing ever..I just flashed the new Ruu 1.47 . I guess it won't let you downgrade . Now I'm stuck with non rooted Evo ... I guess I'll make my way over to dev forum . Thanks again

I stopped in T-Mobile today and they were selling this mount for the new MyTouch but it works great for the HTC HD2. It is pretty universal (it replaced my GPS mount as well). In any case. I thought I would share.

It was a little pricey (#30.00) but you expect that buying directly from T-Mobile. Pic Below.

Funny note: While I was there, a blonde chick was complaining about something with her phone (speed) and I told her about BSB Tweaks and a couple other things. After she left, the T-Mobile salesman and other customers had me writing down all the "cab" names. I directed them here. lol

EDIT: I tried to post a pic of it, but it wouldn't let me cuz I'm new. Sorry.

[HD2 Accessories] djinfamousflo:
Search this model number: CU S400

It shows you a car kit for the HD2 (specially made for the HD2).

The kit also comes with a magnetic plate that, I'm assuming, replaces the stock battery cover door for when you want to mount the phone onto your car windshield.

I don't have one... yet. But the $80+ price tag is not as attractive as I thought it'd be.

Have you any photos to share?It is just a holder. No carmode magnet, no charger (afaik, you need your own cig light charger). They are expensive but very sturdy and if you ever got a new car or different phone, you'd need to replace one piece or the other. Each car has a different mount and each device a different adapter.

Hi! all. i tried to root my desire running 0.80 bootrom yesterday & i think i messed it up abit. u see, i dwnloaded the rooting file from Paul @ Modaco but followed unlockr.com's vidz to root. read online someone can actually follow the vidz as its the same but apparently its not. i couldn't go into the green text screen after running the step1-windows.bat file. it went into the white screen with the 3 android robot at the bottom & stayed there. then i selected shutting down the phone & re start it. it booted up but then i realise it couldn't connect to my 3G network. i could only make & receive calls & there was no super user access icon in the menu too. My software version also change from 1.19 to 1.21. so i'm guessing something is not right. Therefore, would like to confirm if i can actually re-root the phone but this time following Paul's instructions. I'm just worried that it might be bricked.

Just remember that with rooting you don't have any new languages, you still need to flash a custom rom. You could just first flash a generic rom (which you don't need to root for just connect your phone to your pc and run the .exe) from the xda website I mentioned before and see if you like the regular rom.
