Hi, I have been flashing many ROMs and trying different tweaks with my evo since I got it. However I have decided to flash the new radio which I have not done before. What are the critical steps involved in insuring I do not brick my phone?

Also, is there an advantage with installing updated radios through Hboot with the pc361 file over recovery? I know there is none currently for the newest, but was wondering if there is any advantages. Thanks for the replies.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
If you're going to flash a radio through recovery just make sure your getting it from someone who knows what they are doing. Also make sure you have plenty of charge on your battery and make sure not to remove your battery during the flash.

The only advantage of running a PC36IMG is you get a fesh clean system. I don't think it matters that much but like formatting c: and reinstalling some people like to run an RUU every few months. As long as you get your radio_update.zip from a reputable source then there is no advantage, regarding the radio, to running a whole PC36IMG just to get a radio out of the deal. Flashing a radio from recovery will not affect anything else you have set up already.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
Can you also answer this question. Why is the only Hboot we can use for root the .76 version? Is there something inherent with it or is it that no one has altered the .79 version yet? Thanks for taking the time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
the .76 version is the engineer build. .79 is the consumer build

got a problem and can't seem to solve it. Can anybody help please.

Have opendesire 3.2 working at the mo and had an ext 2 partition with it. All was working well until this morning.

I charged my phone and switched it on but would't boot. Tried removing batteries numerous times but still no joy. Removed sd card and it worked. So I formatted sd card back to fat 32 but now it still won't work with the sd card in(Just stays on HTC screen)

I then tried to create another partition incase that what was causing the problem with gparted. When I went into Gparted it stated that my 4gb stock sd card was only 3.5 gb and that there was no pertitions present. Looks like the end of my card has dissapeared ( Has anyone heard of this before )

Anyone any idea how to get the sd card working again?

Or will I have to buy another card.

Any help much appreciated.

It still works without sd card.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
as with any memory card, you dont get all the specified space free for storage, some space is lost with the file system and sector size ect, 3.5 gig sounds about right for a 4 gig card, i use a 16 gig card and get about 14.5 gig when formatted, also your problem with the rom sounds like its cuz you dont have an ext partiton :)
[Desire General] memphisuklf:
The rom doesn't need an external partition. You can install without. When I partitioned my card with gparyed it showed as 3.5gb as fat and 512mb as ext 2. I then changed ext2 to 3 and thats when my problems started. I have formatted it all back to fat now but it wont boot.

Is this because the rom now thinks a partition should be present and it isn't?

Still got recovery, is it worth flashing the Tom(opendesire 3.2) back onto a new SD card as I have a backup of my old one on laptop?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
if you haven hard reset then yeah, your rom has set itself up to be used with an ext partition, just do a hard reset, and leave your sd card out of your phone on first boot :)
[Desire General] memphisuklf:
Sorry, new to this stuff. How do you mean hard reset?

Seem to be getting by, by using guides at moment.
[Desire General] memphisuklf:
Sorted it. Reflashed after wiping through custom recovery and removed sd card once done. After first boot I put sd card back in and it booted. Not going to partition my card any more cause this is the 2nd card that my partition through rom manager has disappeared and can't seem to get the partition back. On a 4gb card only got 3.21gb showing now through system storage on desire.

Anyone know why this keeps happening? Or are the stock cards just utter ****e.

Tried ubuntu but even that only shows it at 3.5gb with no partitions.

I can't really find this anywhere (the answer atleast..)

Are there any custom roms out there that improve the fps on the camcorder app? I've heard of Leedroid but i found no specifics, only: "- improved fps"

So how much? Still no 30 right? :confused:

[Desire General] dcarr622:
I apologize if a thread like this already exists, I couldn't find it.

I'm planning on purchasing the Telus Desire with 850/1900Mhz 3G for use on AT&T once it comes out. However, I want to confirm that I can use the "dumbphone" unlimited data plan (which is $15 or $10 for families) instead of the regular, overpriced, capped smartphone plans. I do this currently on my Motorola Milestone so I want to make sure it works okay with the Desire. Can anyone on AT&T confirm this for me?
[Desire General] cmstlist:
... nobody on AT&T will be able to confirm this with you because not even Canadians have this phone yet. But if they don't know the Milestone IMEI they probably won't know the Telus Desire IMEI.
[Desire General] dcarr622:
Right, I know it's not out yet but I was more looking for someone with the regular Desire on AT&T who could tell me. (I'm figuring AT&T will treat all Desires the same way)
[Desire General] mayad79:
The imei is not registered with ATT. Therefore you can have as I do a 10 or 15 dollar data for quick messaging phones and standard flips.

You will have 3g wherever there is 850 mhz 3g. TElstra desire does not have 1900 mhz 3g, but ATT will have the entire network on 850 mhz 3g by end of the year.

What state are you in?
[Desire General] cmstlist:
Correct, the Telstra (Australia) Desire is UMTS 850/2100. But the upcoming Telus (Canada) Desire is UMTS 850/1900.
[Desire General] dcarr622:
Thanks for the info, I'm glad to hear that. I'm probably going to wait for the Telus model so I get full 850/1900 and I think I like the idea of the SLCD better than the AMOLED for outdoor use. And the off-contract price for the Telus Desire is rumored to be only $450, hopefully that's true :) Now they just need to launch the darn thing!
[Desire General] ccrows:
How did AT&T get the Nexus ONE IMEIs if they don't carry it. Is HTC handling them over?...
[Desire General] cmstlist:
I assume the N1 is a special case... and it was released in the US.
[Desire General] Bomaster:
The regular Desire won't work on 3g in the US uses different frequencies for 3g, so you have to wait for the North American version to come out. That's why people are saying that no one has one on AT&T
[Desire General] cmstlist:
The Telus Desire is already out and that *is* the North American version. :)

Could someone upload a copy of the new gmail apk? See, I did a titanium backup of everything I had from the first leaked froyo rom and restored it after installing the latest, but after rebooting gmail just force-closes all the time. Anyone have a solution that doesn't involve clearing out everything?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] whiplash000:
Scratch that, fixed it by clearing out the data from the app in the "manage applications" setting...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] 4x4r8d:
That's how you do it. I found out the hard way, by doing it all over. Then the second time around I went that same approach and cleared the data. A gmail is restored.

When you restore from Titanium Backup? Do you have to hit Install and done on some of the Apps? What a pain...Is there a setting I am missing that will install everything? Without having to go through process, after I hit Run Restore All Apps + Data.

This is great news :D

But, what have this ROM that the B08 doesn't have?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Alex Egony:
This firmware is cleaned from any TMN trash, so it have even less than B08 :) About the difference in language and fixed bugs are not talking, right? In the future, I plan to integrate HTC software, such as Manila. And now to do a

clean

firmware on which basis it will be possible to build more.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] freaky_man:
Oh nice. But the ROM is in English only right?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] daK76:
Hi, finally news of hope for my SilverBelt. Wish you the best for your project

Maybe if you release a 2nd version keeping the PT friendly SYS and OEM, i.e. minimizing the language mods, you could get more PT testers for your ROMs

Don't know if thats so simple as it looks like... but it would be great

B08 is TMN's third official release (B04, B05, B08), AFAIK zte's device drivers improvement are considerable from ROM version to version (camera, GPS reception, G-sensor), I remember IExplorer "auto-rotation" came in ROM B05...

Maybe a clean chinese firmware would do worst than good... I wonder :confused:

My two cents, good luck :cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Alex Egony:
Now is English (409) and Portugues (816).

But you should understand, portugues is alien language for me :) Although smaller than the Chinese :D

When i complete cleanup, i plan to share my rom kitchen and anyone can cook own rom in any language. It will be simple :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Alex Egony:
It is simple to do, but i can't test this firmware completely because misunderstanding language...

Where can i get B04 version?

Chinese firmware is needed

ONLY for me

. I have ZTE Raise and it differs from TMN Silverbelt by hardware. On MY phone camera does not work with TMN firmware (I have it 3.2mpx) and no WiFi. Naturally,

I'm not going to use

the Chinese firmware to create firmware for the Portuguese silverbelt.

BTW chinese firmware is mooooore overloaded some **** than TMN :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Alex Egony:
Unfotrunaly, our OEM and XIP can't be rebuild by last Bepe's platformrebuilder. In Bepe's kitchen language changes was very-very simple. Heh...

So... Here it is: http://ifolder.ru/18777918

Lang 816 (Portugues), build 23096 (shipped build).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jotapalma:
Many thanks for the english rom.

I agree with dak76. But i understand our alien language. LOL.

I'm a portuguese developer if i can help you with anything...

There's any way to unlock zte raise that you know?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jpmor82:
very good, keep up with good work.

Do you want touchflo for english firmware?? if you want i have it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jotapalma:
You can add Lesscro Network Wizard? That's nice to configure network parameters by country and operator.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Alex Egony:
What is the version of manila you have? Did you test it?

I planed to integrate manila up to 1917 version (w/o weather on main page). But... We'll see...

We'll see.

I unlocked my raise by request on repair forum :( If i get unlock method, i will share it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] freaky_man:
Oh, btw, please, please, add the HTC EzInput Keyboard (the one with the keypad, like this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=426281 or a more recent one, like 2.0) to your ROM because it's too hard to text with fingers with the default Windows Mobile keyboard and with the TouchPal (the TMN Silverbelt default) too.

Please add this keyboard, I tried to install it but I can't since I don't have the HTC's files.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Alex Egony:
Why not. In my HTC Touch i was use EzInput...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] freaky_man:
Great,

ROM without TMN crap + TouchFlo + EzInput = PURE AWESOMENESS!!!! :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Alex Egony:
It would be great if you are prompted with a stable WM build of the Portuguese language, which you yourself use. Maybe I would have done the following firmware for Portugal on this build.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jotapalma:
I dont have any build, sorry.

There're many requests... I like lite roms... But that's me...

I have noted that are missing the camera in windows menu and it's not working in spb mobile shell too.

The sms have no receipt option.

All in the Portuguese Rom.

Keep the good work.

Props.

I brought my phone back to stock before 2.2. Whenever I try to flash the recovery I get brought to the Evo background with the red caution sign. I have tried Simple root .1, and the OTA version and I also used the evo recovery file.

Its not working, I can't flash my recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albaholic:
How are you trying to flash recovery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kornsaq:
When you get to the red caution screen hit volume up/down and the power button together, and it should take you to the recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianfreytag:
Actually, hold the volume up for several seconds, and then press power.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianBusby2038:
If you fully converted to stock before going to 2.2 then you no longer have a custom recovery.If you reverted to a stock rooted 1.47 build and then flashed a stock rooted 3.26 build your recovery should still be there.What is version number is your hboot?

Just downloaded update and seems lot closer now to look like the iPhone one. I don't use Facebook app much so anybody notice any major differences since last one?
[Desire Themes and Apps] kazgor:
yep.. it auto updated this morning for me.. and its much nicer feel to it.. also like the little photo slider at the bottom.

wish they would implement facebook chat though
[Desire Themes and Apps] benko286:
Much better, only thing I miss is to see who liked smth, option to slide to next picture when viewing pictures(it is so stupid to me to touch next and previous button) and chat :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] member0:
FB chat through the AIM client seems to work fine for me. But yes, it would be nice if we didn't have to run another app alongside the proper FB one.
[Desire Themes and Apps] aljwatson69:
Has anyone tried syncing contacts through Facebook rather than Facebook for HTC Sense? Since this update I have two Facebook accounts in the Accounts and Sync settings. If I try to use the new one it doesn't seem to work. It offers a new contact link but doesn't have pictures or anything attached to it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] faddys123:
while we wait for them to put chat on the app in the mean time download go chat the ui is good it looks like google talk

I can't believe items in the notification menu still take you to the mobile version of the site in your browser and don't stay within the app.

Partial Wake usage withe the new 1.3 client

Check the "Partial Wake Usage" (*#*#4636#*#*): with Facebook client 1.3, no contact sync and autoupdate on "never" i have 100% usage (on facebook app)

So do I.

I had to logout.. Unplugged since 6h30 AM > now 2h22PM battery>40%:mad:
[Desire Themes and Apps] sh500:
Yep, I've just uninstalled the update.

Would this be because of the 'new notification implementation'? I did, for the first time ever, actually receive a notification whilst I had it installed!
[Desire Themes and Apps] owziee:
It's using way to much of the cpu, too bad since I really liked the update but I need to uninstall it aswell :( Battery is more important!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Raul Duke:
Do people think a fix will come out for this? Surely this is an error, it uses way too much battery!
[Desire Themes and Apps] sh500:
It has to be some sort of unforeseen thing. I would hope to see an update to fix this soon.

Mind you, I'm not overly impressed with the new features- was expected something far bigger and better.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Rambo87:
I just wished, they can have a widget like the one on iphone where it displays the notifications on a corner.
[Desire Themes and Apps] williap:
Thank god I now know why my phone as gone from 100% to 0% in the space of 6 hrs.

Thought it was the Froyo update but can see now it looks like it's this new update.

Has anybody emailed them yet to inform them of the excessive battery increase?

Yes I have already mailed the developer

I installed it when I first saw that the 1.3 was released and I haven't noticed any difference what so ever on my battery usage. I don't use any taskkiller so I haven't killed it of.
[Desire Themes and Apps] bioh4zard:
is there any fix for the battery-usage-of-death issue ?

What i would do is install an extra task killer and add Facebook as the only auto kill app. Set it to auto kill when the screen goes off. Or just iuninstall lol.

I need facebook chat, also green android logo when update status like blackberry have :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] kmetek:
uninstalled it......
[Desire Themes and Apps] htcd2fan:
Yeah, me too...

It just sucked my battery empty like it was nothing... had to charge 2 times yesterday...

I also noticed that the facebook-service isn't launched when rebooting the device, but as soon as you start the app the first time (since last device reboot) it stays active in the background and drains power....
[Desire Themes and Apps] aljwatson69:
Gone back to the old version. Battery drain was too bad. It dropped 16% overnight, and that's with 3G off.
[Desire Themes and Apps] al89nut:
I only updated last night and don't have this issue, eg battery log doesn't show FB constantly drawing. But I turned off notifications in settings.
[Desire Themes and Apps] htcd2fan:
I tried it all. Turning off Notifications (as i don't need them anyway because i'm using the friend-stream widget with facebook for htc-sense hourly auto-update), turned off auto-sync for the facebook-application, unchecked the "sync contacts" option (which is horribly bugged, by the way, as it "duplicates" the possible links in the contacts-app with every sync, if you don't link them manually with your contacts...)...

Didn't help at all, once the Facebook-App was started, it was running in background all the time, literally sucking my batterie empty in no time.

The Facebook-Process also used a lot of memory compared to the FroYo Stock-Facebook-App, which is running using ~150Kb of memory. The 1.3 Update used far above 3 MB all the time... :rolleyes:

I'm back at the stock 1.2-App, with no autoupdate and no notifications, which is enough as i get the important things via friendstream and the facebook-app is primarily used for having the ability of uploading things from supported applications... ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Ghisy:

Memory issues aside, isn't it odd that I don't get any notifications from the facebook app at all?

My Twitter and GMail notifications are working well.

I'm seeing this on one of the rooted 2.2 OTA roms, Pays-ROM 1.9 and my current OpenDesire 3.0.5. The app is set to notify me on messages and friend requests, but not a peep.

Any ideas why that could be?
[Desire Themes and Apps] roakes:

[Desire Themes and Apps] mlevit:
Yep I'm getting the exact same problem and I'm running a non rooted HTC Froyo ROM. They come every now and then and sometimes even after I open the app. Not really working that well.

They really need to start utilizing push
[Desire Themes and Apps] landwomble:
A new update 1.3.2 came out today, which I've applied. Seems OK.

On 1.3.1 I found I had many, many duplicate contacts for any FB contacts, all with facebook.login.auth next to them. On 1.3.1 I cleared these by going into FB...settings...remove facebook data, then ticking sync contacts and waiting.

On 1.3.2 this setting isn't there and sync is controlled via the normal android accounts page.

1.3.2 seems OK so far but I think we're all a bit wary of FB on Android at the moment...
[Desire Themes and Apps] __WiZaRD__:
Has 1.3.2 fixed the battery drain issue?
[Desire Themes and Apps] landwomble:
Seems ok, but i'm not using notifications....
[Desire Themes and Apps] williap:
I updated to 1.3.2 today and managed to get 8 hours out of my phone before it killed the battery.

With the 1.3 version which I've now gone back to (again), my phone last about 13 hours.

Looking at the facebook android page, I'm not the only one that is still seeing any of these new updates still not fixing the battery issue!

Well seems as my WiFi chip is having technical difficulties. When I open the browser on WiFi it says page unavailable but when I turn it off load it on 3g and start WiFi again it works. Same thing with MySpace Xda browser market. Any have this problem or found a fix?
[Vibrant General] Aphotix:
Mine always goes to page unavailable when I'm on wifi for the home page, but not any other pages. The home.web2go.com / m.web2go.com pages authenticate your phone over cell only, since tmo doesn't trust wifi to send your account details over (with good reason.)
