[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedomax:
I've tried the stock rooted Froyo 2.2, Ava Froyo 2.2, and OMJ Froyo and the all work great (thanks everyone) but seems like Android WiFi Tether doesn't work on any of them. Is anyone experiencing this?

Actually WiFi Tether works but my laptop can't catch the signals whereas it does on OMJ 2.1fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cemian:
same here

I unfortunately have to agree with you...wireless tethering just does not work yet with this new kernel. I have tried all the same HTC froyo roms as well... I can broadcast and my WiFi device can see it and try to connect but cannot get an ip address ..always 169... I hope this gets fixed soon
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samzebian:
I don't use tethering that much anymore (now that I'm not in high school) but once I start college next month I'll need it more than ever, so idk if I should flash 2.2 yet. From everything I've read nobody's gotten it to work on any froyo roms yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
first, q and a, not development, is where this should have been posted.

second, i'm on cm6 nightly 7/29, with the new radio and wimax flashed over it. i had no problem at all using the froyo hotspot (obviously not sprint's, bc no sprint packaged material is on the cm6 aosp release). it's not 4g, but it works. i tethered my ps3 with no issues at all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mongoose8p:
im in same boat... once i head back to college i'm going to want to take advantage of the unlimited 4G... and without wifi tether thats going to suck.. hopefully someone can figure this out -

maybe someone will make a kernel with it enabled based on whatever in 2.1 that allows it ...?

does PDANET work? anyone who upgraded?

Does the wireless tethering capability that comes stock with Froyo not work for you? Works fine for me in CM6.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anmaymap:
Need some time?

The leak has only been released less than 2 days therefore obviously still have a lot of issue with old APP. just give the Developers sometime and I am certain they will come up with something. Beside the leaked 2.2 floating around is not really a final copy anyway so what's the point of working so hard on something that will be replace in a few days. Think all the Developers should just give themselves a beer, sit back relax to calm down their nerves so that their brains will be working at 100% when the final release come out. :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedomax:
Oh,

Didn't try that but does that work with 4G too? (if you didn't sign up for 4G?)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan0412:
Can you give specifics of your setup? I tried the Evo-Froyo-2.2-Rooted-Stock-3.26.651.3-Deodexed ROM (with latest radio + wimax) but could not get version 2_0_5-pre4 to work. It starts wifi tethering BUT my laptop cannot find /discover it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregnice631:
he is probably on cm6. you cant really compare the two roms since sprint has its hand in locking up a native feature of the device for profit. we probably need the kernel tweaked by one of the devs in order to get this working.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timtlm:
Yeah, my laptop cannot see it either.

Everyone with an Evo on Sprint is "signed up" for 4G. It may not be available where you are at, but you are paying for it and "signed up" for it.

i ended up purchasing pdanet for tethering. was only 18.95. to be honest this phone is great, but we all know the battery's shortcomings. im ok with killing 2 birds with one stone by tethering usb and charging the phone at the same time :). Any solution is cheaper than sprint's recurring tethering charge.

Does pdanet allow tethering over 4g in a 2.2 rom? If so, what speeds are you getting?

Hello All....

I'm pretty new to the forum and so amazed by all the work that everyone has put in.

I'm not sure if I'm posting to the correct thread, however, I need assistance with installing the Elegancia Rom (Max Sense) to my HTC HD2. Where can I find directions on how to install?

Also, my phone identity is Tmobile_Leo. Does this mean that I have the LEO version not the other Tmobile.

Please don't be so hard on me for asking....so many lame questions.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
when you say "leo version" and "other tmo" version im assuming you mean the tmobile us version and the european version.....

if it has green and red send/call keys its the tmo us version....

a, guide to flashing roms can be found here....

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combo1234:
hey guys, I got a desire and I'm new to android. so I have some questions:

1. my firmware is 1.19.707.7 and I know 1.21 is the lastest, but it says i have the newst one. what's wrong ? ( my Desire is unlocked and unbranded)

2. Froyo is coming to Desire this weekend, but how I know if I'll also get it? cause I heard only europe desire will get it.

3.How to root my Desire? I heard its different in 1.19.707.7 ?

4.My desire I think is from singapore, can I change the firmware to europe one ?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monsterfly:
1. There is nothing wrong. 1.19.707.7 is the latest Asia WWE rom.

2. The news was that Froyo is coming out this weekend across Europe (meaning Desire with EU roms) so you can't get it. At least not via OTA (but the real question is if it will actually get out:confused:).

3. Rooting method depends on bootloader version (at least paul's method).

Read about paul's method here and about unrevoked method here.

4. If you can flash custom roms, there shouldn't be a problem flashing different official rom.

First you have to root and then flash.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combo1234:
2.if I flash the europe official rom to my Desire, I'll also get OTA of Froyo?

3.my bootloader version is 0.80.0000

-Where is the paid applications? I can't find them in my desire, I see only free applications.

-If I flash to the official EU rom, I won't face any problems because it's official right? also My root will stay?

thanks man!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rico8787my:
Hi, in my personal opinion, I think you will only get update if you r in Europe country plus your phone must be debranded and unlocked.

My htc desire is flash with the 1.21 HTC WWE roms and I'm in UK but I still can't get any update yet.

So i'm not sure whether or not the update is a false alarm to all of us.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monsterfly:
Paid Android Market apps are available only in certain countries - list

Root will stay only if you flash pre-rooted official rom. But hey, unrevoked rooting method is very very simple so rooting again shouldn't be a problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combo1234:
Thanks!

just a question :

if I flash the europe official rom to my Desire, I'll also get OTA of Froyo?

Because Froyo has support of my language and I must it:(
[Hero CDMA General] bernard_photography:
I have an unrooted Hero. I am using LauncherPro for my home. My TasKiller keeps showing sense restarting itself in the background after it is killed. Is there anything I can do to stop it? Startup auditor doesn't pick up Sense.

I used to have the phone rooted, but I seemed to run into different problems with every rom I tried. The stock 2.1 has been the most stable for me.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Bernard
[Hero CDMA General] lv2bll:
have you tried darch droid? it has ZERO sense?

edit: and also sense is tied to just about every apk in the phone. such as contacts, settings, and more so its needs to be running in order for man apps to work.

Hope this helps

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderdroid:
If your phone was bricked in any way, but still shows something on the screen when powered on or plugged in, try this.

1. Take out battery, put it back in. (to turn the phone fully off)

2. Don't turn it the phone on!

3. Plug the phone into your PC, do not hit the power button!

4. See if the phone shows anything on the screen

IF the phone screen does show the battery charger or something else on the screen after being plugged in

without

you hitting the power button, so far so good.

5. Now while it's on like this, hold the volume up and volume down buttons.

6. Hold the power button as well as the volume buttons until the screen goes black.

7. As soon as the screen goes black, let go of the power button! But

DON'T

let go of the volume buttons!

When done properly, this will always get you into Download mode. After that you should be able to use Odin to revert to stock, tar and instructions here:

This fixed my 'odd' bricks. Over and over again.

I'd say it's impossible to truly brick this phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davbran:
I have been researching this most of the day, due to some testing I was doing, and the one thing I have come to realize is that this phone recovers well from "brick" it's not a true brick it's just scary. One of the posts I read, here on xda, said that unless the blue progress bar started advancing while using Odin, you can unplug, pull battery fairly safely.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderdroid:
Haha well that's exactly what happened to me. I flashed wrong with Odin and it failed halfway through, and I had no choice but to reboot the phone.

And when I did I got a truly odd screen. All I could see was a picture of a phone connected to an exclamation point connected to a laptop. That's it. Lol.

And I fixed it by doing this.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maverick777:
Yea, last night I was messing around with the latest lag fix, but it ending up causing a lot of FC's, so I had to revert to stock a few times. I tried to make it work using ext2 and ext3, but it still wasn't stable enough. I didn't enjoy the noticeable speed increase, but it wasn't worth it since launcher pro was one of the programs that was FCing.

Anyways, so after I gave up for the 3rd time, I flashed stock using ODIN and it got stuck. I left it there for awhile with no progress and the phone's screen actually just went completely black. I pulled the battery and got the weird cell phone pointing to computer icon. I almost crapped my pants at that point. Very scary moment since I had not seen that screen before.

A quick google search for "bricked Vibrant" led me to this thread and voila! My Vibrant is alive and well again.

Thanks a bunch.

PS: After reflashing stock that many times, I still find it strange that after a fresh flash, I still get a noticeable speed boost by wiping the phone through the privacy setting. Not sure if it's a placebo effect, but I swear it makes a noticeable difference every time.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderdroid:

And that's intersting. I'll make sure to wipe the privacy settings. I actually haven't ever wiped them yet.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddysays:
No go for me.

I used the stupid partition tool in rom manager. partitioned the internal memory not the sd card.

Saw a few others did this, and this worked for them, either right away or after flashing eugene's froyo rom then reverting back, but that rom just hangs on cache.fsd or something like that.

Trying to repartition through odin, with no download files selected right now. It does not appear to be doing anything, just set pit file, then do not turn off target in odin.

Will leave it for a bit, maybe try to flash this again, i think the issue might be deeper for me though. need kernel and everything else.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rl-hickey:
I ran into "brick mode" myself 2 nights ago and could not get my phone into download mode. Any possible combo of volume key up/down and power had no effect. Just that phone exclamation point pc icon slowly blinking in the center of the screen. I did finally get it into download mode but it wasn't using any of the previously mentioned methods, so I'll add one more to the growing list to try. This one worked for me after almost 4 hours of experimenting.

BTW....my phone would never display the battery charging image when powered off and plugged in. Just this same annoying image.

Pull the battery. Put it back in. Hold the just the volume down button. Do not hold the power button. Plug in either a wall charger or USB cable. The cable will power up the phone and voila. I was in the download screen.

I also highly recommend the stock ROM from the thread

"[ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working)" In Vibrant > Vibrant Android Development

I tried another ROM found out on the internet and ended up with a shell that crashed and restarted every 60 seconds.

For those running into Odin stuck on a message about verifying the file system, I had no luck when the phone used COM3. I suggest moving your USB cable into different ports on your PC. Each new port will "install" a new instance of the phone using different COM ports. COM5 and COM6 both worked as I was reflashing the day away yesterday.

Looks like I found the correct thread for this problem... I am sorry if I am posting same thing, but I am really desperate here... :(

I tried flashing with Vibrant6.zip and formatted system and data folders via recovery menu. Now it would just get stuck on Vibrant boot and if I turn it off it would show a grey color battery that doesn't seem to be charging. The circular thingy is just static and not moving. I was able to hear the USB sound in windows and I can see both Removable disks, but that's about it. Nothing works to get to download or recovery mode.

What can I do from here? Formatting internal disk through windows will do any good or harm? What are my options?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M5devil:
UPDATE: Well... looks like this is pretty much a dead phone.... I right clicked and selected Format in My Computer and it just says There is no disk in Driver F: Insert a disk and try again.

Can I a mount an image somehow via MagicISO? Or is there something simpler that I just can't figure out?

It is theoretically impossible to brick a Vibrant. Don't give up. Odin and Download mode are the key. Remember BOTH volume up and volume down and let go of the power button as SOON as the screen turns black.

impossible to get to download mode or recovery mode

anyone have this issue? had it two times?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unrenowned:
I've been releasing the button upon immediate blink, 3 seconds into it, 5 seconds into it (just before a second blink), et cetera (I have a stop watch on my desk). I was originally guessing that some tech had merely changed the timing on the Recovery/Download mode instead of completely gimping it.

I spoke with two very nice T-Mobile technicians today and they both said that my phone was "defective" and that it IS supposed to boot into Recovery/Download Mode when:

#1 - Press and hold BOTH the UP and DOWN volume buttons

#2 - Press and hold the Power button

#3 - Release the Power button after seeing the Samsung/Vibrant logo (words) blink once.

That is the method they have documented. They also said that when the screen shows the little Phone--Yellow Triangle--PC graphic, that the above combination is supposed to access the Download Mode by default (instead of the normal Recovery Mode).

Once again, T-Mobile is calling this a "

defect

" and (after I send this one back) will be sending me a brand new one (still within 14-day remorse period). When I get the new one, I will update this post to let everyone know if I can access either Recovery/Download Mode via the physical buttons. If I cannot, I would say that it's a safe bet to guess that Samsung has disabled this ability (or had a serious flaw in manufacturing).

Going to keep playing with it until the return label arrives. :(
