That's what the PC36IMG.zip in the OP is. It is simply the hboot.img and nothing else. That is what most of the people were having problems with. It was when we put the engineering hboot in a PC36IMG.zip with everything else that we were able to get .76.2 w/o getting stuck in the bootloader.

Sent from my Burnt Droid regaw-rooted EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cadbomb:
Those of you getting stuck in hboot loop... Have you tried to reflash the kernel? That fixed it for me when I flashed the eng hboot by itself... Let me know if it works for you...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jyarborough:
this image did not work for me,, tried several times! yet the flack from recovery is seeming to work! :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jyarborough:
thank you so very much Calkulin! this is working,, Hboot 0.76 in effect! now let get that cm6 on! yeah!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jyarborough:
??? stuck in boot loader and alreadly tried what frezza,, and right back into boot!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SITH16:
The problems I had came from using the one you posted in post 91. I never used the one from the OP cause I read through the thread and saw others were having trouble with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] limitedtime:
Holy crap! Can someone please help me???? I am stuck in the loop in the bootloader, and can only get back to recovery. I have no other zips on my sd card to try and flash to get out of it, and cant restore my nandroid! I dont care about anything other than getting my phone to boot!! Please help me out!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Hi, I just recently got an EVO and love it, especially with all the great stuff I've found through this forum.

I'm currently on the stock Sprint 2.2 rom rooted with unrevoked3 and was trying to replace the splash screen but couldn't due to the .93 hboot lacking the extra fastboot commands.

This file should give me the eng hboot, but will it downgrade anything else on my phone? Will it wipe out all my data? Or will it just flash the eng hboot (without the bootloader loop) and leave everything else as it is now? Do I need unrevoked forever first or is unrevoked3 fine to flash this zip?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karadorde:
What recovery are you using?

If using Amon_Ra you can toggle Mass Storage mode from the recovery and put a new PC36IMG.zip on your SD Card. If using Clockwork then I believe you will have to go buy a Micro SD card reader to make the neccesary adjustments.

You will have to apply a new PC36IMG.zip to your phone. You can try the one I hosted in Post 71 or Post 91. Or you can grab the second PC36IMG.zip from Part 2 of the 2.2 root thread by regaw. All of these will wipe your phone though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karadorde:
How did you gain root access on your EVO? Which process did you use?

If you find success with the link in the OP then it will not wipe the phone or downgrade. If you use one of the files I hosted in Post 71 or Post 91 then it will wipe your phone but everything will stay up to date.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I used the release candidate from the irc chat the unrevoked team set up.

I guess I will try the zip file from the OP and hope I don't get stuck in the bootloader loop.

ETA: How would I get out of the loop if my EVO gets stuck? I wasn't too sure about that even after reading through this thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
go into recovery and restore a nandroid or reflash current ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] esone1ll:
I had the same problem as the dude above, and I am flashing your Post 91 PC36IMG now. Will I lose root?
[EVO 4G Android Development] esone1ll:
Update: yes, I lost root. It was no biggie to re-unrevoked, tho.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karadorde:
There is no reason why you should but apparently it is a possibility according to the post before mine.

Sent from my Burnt Droid regaw-rooted EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SITH16:
I finally got this to work.

I downloaded the OP file and put that on my card.

I then applied it as directed.

I ended up in a bootloader loop just like most and just like I did with the other one.

I tried to restore nand and it didn't work.

I almost gave up and just reflashed the stock when I decided to try reflashing my kernel.

That worked. Solved the problem. So I suggest if anyone ends up in a boot loop with the OP file, then just reflash your kernel.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amruthwo:
I know there are a few threads similar to this one, but i've read them and attempted to do the fixes they list, like calkulins here but it didn't work for me.

enough excuses, here is my problem: for some reason my phone won't mount anymore. It shows up as adb when i turn debugging on, the sd card is viewable on the phone, but i never get the prompt of just charge/disk drive/htc sync/etc when i plug it in now. I've tried a couple different cables on a couple different computers (mac and pc) and i've narrowed it down to be a problem with the phone. Again, i did the mtd-eng.img and flash_image fix from Calkulin's thread. any other ideas? :confused: I just did a titanium backup and i'm about to reset the phone, but i'd like to know if there is another fix by chance?

i'm running the rooted stock 2.2 if it makes a difference.

thanks in advance guys!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amruthwo:
maybe this is the wrong section to put this question in, feel free to move it to Q&A
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beejis:
When I had issues with the sd card not mounting, I backed up my sdcard on my computer and reformatted my sdcard through windows and then again on the phone. That seemed to fix the issue. Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amruthwo:
thanks for the tip. i tried it, but still nothing... :(

I just went ahead and did a titanium backup, then booted into recovery and wiped. it seems to have worked, and titanium did a pretty good job of restoring all of my system data too, better than i remembered with my g1 anyway...

hopefully it doesn't happen again. i would like to know what caused it though :rolleyes:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmcuk:
Hi Guys

We have recently had BT open up a Wifi ripoff spot. My Desire seems to like it and is willing to connect to it rather than the 3g network. The wifi spots are unsecured and direct you to the Payment page.

Is there a way to ban this wifi spot so that it will still auto connect to all my other wifi spots that I added myself?

Thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabbafat23:
Have you taken it off of your remembered hotspots list? If not go to setting, wireless and networks, wireless or WiFi then it should give you a list of remembered hotspots. Click on a hotbot and the option to forget should pop up
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmcuk:
hi mate i have seen this option but did assume it would just find it again anyway. Does the network go on some sort of hidden blacklist once you tell it to forget.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmcuk:
oh I am going to try it anyway btw and thanks very much for the reply.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
If you connect to an open network, it will always try to reconnect to it again once you are in range. So, you need to "forget" the network - it isn't blacklisted and you can still connect to it again if you wish, but it won't try to auto-connect all the while it is "forgotten".

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Komadyret:
Sorry for opening up this old thread, but I have a issue in the same line, altho fundamentaly diferent:

I have a number of accessible networks within my range. I have a small issue with the auto connect. Is it possible to have the phone remember the network settings for networks, but NOT auto-connect to them?

Or make an ordered list with most preferred AP on top? When I'm in my garage, signal strength make the phone conect to my neighbor (I have his network in my list too, as I often visit and then uses his AP), but want my own LAN and shared folders accessible...

Not sure you guys get my meaning. It wasn't very well written, but I hope you are able to help?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmerendeiro:
I can't take a photo of my screen but I clearly see horizontal banding in black-on-white text pages...they're like this:

text-text-text-text-banding-banding-banding

text-text-banding-banding-banding-banding

text-text-text-text-text-text-text-text-banding

and so on...sorry for this weird explaination but couldn't find a way to describe them since english is not my mother language....

those stripes are white, more white than the page background...

i took a screenshot, and viewed it on the pc...no white stripes there, so it's not software related :(...

anyone else have/had this issue????

send to htc is the only solution? (obviously it has unlocked bootloader)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
yes this has been discussed before. the best example is when viewing google's forums, you can see alternating bands that line up with all the text rows. and in between is pure white, while the text rows show slightly darker.

that's just the way it is for now. no fix has ever been released.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmerendeiro:
thanks for the answer =)

so is my phone defective or is it like that for every nexus out there?

EDIT: sidenote-to me it's the exact opposite, the stripes where text sits are more white than the rest of the white background that is a little darker
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amorphouskev:
Hey folks, if any of you know me or have seen my posts, you know I only ASK questions when I'm in dire need. I've searched, and searched and haven't found the answers. So here are my questions:

I tried rooting my Sprint Hero (running 1.5) via Fresh Kitchen. I followed the steps, my phone rebooted. I had to take the battery out to get it to completely reload. However when I reloaded everything was exactly the same. I come from WinMo so I'm used to turning the phone back on and everything being a "Fresh" start. So I'm not sure if my phone was successfully rooted or not, and for some reason I can't find any info that gives a way to figure out if it has. So, how can I tell?

Also, if my phone has not been successfully rooted - I've recently switched to Ubuntu (yey) - and have been trying to follow these instructions to successfully root the phone ... with no success.

Any help is appreciated :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
One quick way I can think of is to try removing a system app that you don't want, maybe like Sprint Nascar or Amazon MP3. See this post here for how to do that. If you can remove a system app via adb, then you're rooted.

You could also just try rebooting into recovery. This will also show you if you have properly flashed a recovery image. Turn the phone off. Hold Home and then press Power. After a few seconds you should see the recovery console menu pop up instead of the regular HTC boot process. You can still reboot normally from here. Recovery is how you could wipe data and flash custom ROMs.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amorphouskev:
ok I just tried this (I did volume down, and held power), and this is what I see...

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Looks like you don't have recovery then. Try rooting using THIS method....takes more steps, but its pretty much guaranteed to work unless you skip something or make a typo. And included in these steps are flashing a recovery image to your phone, then making a nandroid backup of your current setup.

[Touch HD General] The Missing Link:
I love my HD but there's one really annoying thing :mad:

When my Calendar warns me about an event, my HD wakes up, vibrates and gives a audible tone. That's all OK, BUT... being awake the touch screen is now also active! It happens regularly that when the system is in my pocket and this happens I start calling people...

When I had this, I loaded TouchLockPro but that never helped for this...

What do I do about this? Alarming me is OK, enabling the buttons or screen is not!
[Captivate General] djgleebs:
More specifically, will it remove my apps, delete my non-touchwiz apps, unroot my phone, uninstall my lag fix, etc?

What 2.2 update are you talking about?
[Captivate General] Berserk87:
first result on google...

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html
[Captivate General] Mithent:
Flashing a firmware update will remove everything on your phone (except for that on the internal/external SD cards), although you can use programs like Titanium Backup to backup programs and restore them once you've flashed.

Not, of course, that the official 2.2 update is available yet. Anything around here so far is leaked alpha builds. Furthermore (although I don't follow the Captivate forums as much), I believe they are for the international I9000 only, so don't flash anything which isn't specifically for the Captivate - that definitely causes major problems.

[Captivate General] mesasone:
Some of you guys need reading comprehension, the OP asked how upgrading to 2.2 will affect the software and hacks they installed on their phone, not a run down of the features list.

It's not entirely clear at this juncture that you understand what the term "troll" means.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tibedabeeto:
So I am now making Launcher Pro my new Home application. The only issue with this is every so often my icons and widgets on my screen will disappear and re appear. Also maybe like twice a day I get a force close while using the phone. My question to all that use Launcher Pro on the Hero, does any of this happen to you? Also is there a way to fix this?

Rom - NfiniteX45 deoxed.

OC - HoneyBunV3

Did other mods like 270 Degree rotation.

Just putting what I have done on my phone because I do not know if this is the reason why this is happening. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Hit menu > preferences > advanced settings > memory usage settings

there are a lot of settings here to tweak for you problem. first, try the bottom setting "prevent force-closes".

Read these 2 posts to understand what the settings mean:

http://www.launcherpro.com/?p=74

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
Also make sure you save launcher pro as your default home. If you're not sure how, download home switcher from the market.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tibedabeeto:
Thank you both on your advice. I already had prevent force closing on. As for setting it as my default home, I made sure that was the first thing that I did. I will try to tweak the settings to a lower memory usage. After reading the 2 links it seems like it may help on a lower setting. This whole time I thought leaving it at a moderate setting would make it perform better. I will let you know my results after a day or so on my new settings. If you guys don't mind, can you give me your memory settings since we all have the same device? I know each device can vary but just to give myself a heads up on the scenarios. :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
While we all have the same device, I doubt we share the same number of homescreens, active widgets, large sized widgets, and shortcuts on the homescreen, if we use the scrollable dock, and if we choose a dock background... all of these affect how much memory LauncherPro takes up, and the more memory it takes up the more likely it is to force-closing / having to reload all icons.

I have 3 homescreens and the following widgets: calendar, music control, digi clock, weather channel (small), some dazzle control widgets, some Apps Organizer widgets, and a few shortcuts to apps. About 50-55% of my availalbe home screen area is full.

I also don't have a scrollable dock or dock background, and I don't use scrollable widgets.

Memory usage preset: medium

Checked: Use homescreen caches and Build caches as needed

Homescreen cache type: normal
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeeps74:
I'm running a pretty minimal setup with 3 screens and only 4 widgets, with 1 dock, and sometimes I do get the thing with the screen refresh. I don't see force closes but occasionally do have to tell it to wait for launcherpro. Probably only happens a couple times a week though. I'm currently on the latest nightly 2.2 build, and previously on dd 2.8, and saw this on each. The refresh does seem to occur after closing out of memory intensive things, but comes back quick enough that it doesn't bother me.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tibedabeeto:
Thanks for the reply trying all diffrent settings now. I am thinking about making the jump to 2.2 now that I have launcher pro as my home. I was just waiting for it to have everything working before going to 2.2.

When i first bought the phone all the buttons worked ok and bluetooth turned on, don't know about wifi, but the camera didn't work, black screen, so i changed the ROM and Radio.

After I changed the ROM , BT was gone, it does work sometimes but for a short while, wifi is completely dead.

I tried more than 7 ROM's and Radio combinations, none worked.

Now a new problem, the right side of the naviboard dosent work ( Hang-up key, back key, and sometimes the center button)

From what i read in the service manual the an BT/WIFI COAXIAL

CABLE connects to THE NAVI BOARD.

It appears that the naviboard also has the GPS and Wifi antenna on it.

I know how to open my phone, but don't know what to do.

Any suggestions ?
