Running into an issue with my EVO. Two weeks ago I purchased an HTC Eris and had it MetroFlashed onto my account. I went through various guides on the web and had it fully functioning w/data, web access, mms. I decided to upgrade to the EVO and had it flashed to my account yesterday through Houdini at the same MetroPCS store.

I have read through several different posts and forums but cannot get the internet to work at all. The phone doesn't even show the symbols at the top of the screen for 3G or data, as if there is a setting that has turned data off in the phone. I ran through the guide posted here several times and checked and re-checked my settings in QPST.

Has anyone else run into this and does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] elisa191:
Yes - it's in the ROM - the ROM - the ROM

All I can tell you is the stock rom as well as most of the custom ones won't work!!!!

There are a few that will allow web and mms but most of them have been created by developers and have not been released publicly yet as were still trying to make our money back for the many hours invested.

You will find some that will give you web though even if its a bit slow and buggy!

Hope this helps and accept my apologies that I can't "Give" out the solution

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alec5216:
Hey guys!

First off I'd like to thank all of the people on the forum for letting me do so many awesome things with my phone.

To the question. What is the easiest way to restore application settings once a kernel is flashed? I just went from root to unrooted stock and then to the SuperRooterExtreme and am trying to put everything back in its place.

Thanks for any tips/suggestions you may have!

Alec5216
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuxingwarrior3:
Hi Alec,

I'm kind of a noob here, but from what I gather the best way to restore applications + data is to use titanium backup. BEFORE YOU FLASH A NEW KERNEL OR FIRMWARE, go into titanium backup and do a batch backup of all apps plus data. This will save all app data to your internal memory in a folder called Titanium Backup. Once you flash a new firmware and use UltraSuperRooterMegaExtreme, then reinstall titanium backup and do a batch restore. This will then reinstall all the apps you previously had. Batch restore is only available through the paid version :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnydeathmatch:
Thanks for the scoop! How much is the pro version?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beazie0885:
I have the paid app. Just wondering how to do the batch restore, I can't seem to find that option.

Edit: meant to answer your question, Its up to you how much you'd donate I believe. I think it starts@ $3.99 us
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
Open Titanium Backup

click on menu key (bottom left button)

a screen will slide up from the bottom click batch

Then choose from the menu what you want to do. There are many options.

I'm a noob too, I hope this helps.

Also get ROM Manager if you are going to flash to a new ROM and back up your current ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alec5216:
Thanks to all for the Titanium Backup advice. It'll save me sooo much time.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnydeathmatch:
Agreed! Great app, I thought all I could do was use AppBrain market to sync my apps. This is better, thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Opiate_:
High all. I just purchased a Vibrant today that was brand new in the box and had never been turned on. The first thing I did was unlock it to work with AT&T. Everything works including 3G, however whenever I try to select any option in wireless settings I get this message "Unable to change networks during data service activation. Do you want to disconnect the data service and change available network?"

Does anyone know what caused this and how to fix it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the3dman:
Did it ever connect to a tmobile network or did you put in the att sim right away?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Opiate_:
I put the att sim in right away as I dont know anyone with tmobile. There must be a way around it. Like in one of those hiden menus.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
Its just a notification that its stopping data to find a new source. Mine does that when I switch it to "2g only". Its ok, idata will turn back on after a few moments
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K_esco:
^^ yep, i get the same message when i toggle between 2g/3g. not a problem at all.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Opiate_:
Ok thanks for the reply guys.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leandrotsampa:
Hi, please i need help.

I put a ROM on my T4242/T4288 and now it's time you turn it the screen goes all scorched colorful and not leave it.

The usb does not recognize the device.

Does someone can help me?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] silex:
I've been having a problem where I would swap ESN's on Sprint for another phone and then go back to the Android Vogue and notice data would not be working. In WM there is an Update Profile icon that can reinitiate this. Is there something similar for Android? If not, how do you guys suggest getting data working for someone who swaps phones back and forth often?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thehelios:
Run Android from SD. AFAIK, we don't even have access to the operator settings like in WM.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] silex:
That's what I thought. I still prefer to run it straight from NAND though :( I take you guys just flash to WM and then back to Android in order to get data working?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] radar5:
I run from SD, but that is correct. Though I don't think most people swap phones like that. Do becareful with doing too many flashes though as some people attribute it to killing their phones.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] gedster314:
Ok so you repaired the Vogue's esn? The problem is that your data setting and passwords are different on your Vogue. I don't know if your android rom has epst. Go to the phone and dial ##778#, if it works you can see your settings. Just try to match them as close as possible to your currently working phone. To edit these values you will need your SPC (msl codes). Typically for phone you need to enter your MDN #(your phone #) and your MSID #. For data you need to match up your MIP settings, MIP Default profile and MIP Custumer Profile 1. Just step through all the settings and match them up with the original phone. Since both are Sprint phones their should not be that many differences.

In the past I have just done a reinstall of an Offical WinMo image from Sprint then get data and phone working. For data go into Settings, phone, internet settings, and run that (I can't remember what the function is called). That should provision your data. Once you are up and running then you should be able to flash back to Android and be fine. In provisioning this way, there may be an issue where it changes your passwords and your original phone may not have data. I have had it happen where both phones would work and sometimes the data on the original does not work. You can dial ##778# in both and compare to make sure they are the same.

If you go into the WinMo section and search you can find information about getting data to work. If you don't find it there try going into the Mogul WinMo section and search. Getting data to work on a WinMo was very common issue when flashing different Roms and is virtually the same process for all WinMo phones. On the WinMo side it's been pretty thoroughly covered on XDA and PPCGEEKS.

You could try a search at mobile-files.us and mobile-files.com. They tend to cover a lot of what you are doing here.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
EPST is a executable file that comes with the WinMo roms and is usually in the Windows folder.

I wonder if someone could actually re-code a new version that would work on Droid/Linux?

How do the new Droid phones that come from Sprint get programmed?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] bkrodgers:
I haven't tried this yet, but I wonder if you're just switching back and forth if you really need the provisioning. I've switched back with the flash back to WinMo method, but noticed that the MSID and other data is already still in there. It does go through a data provisioning process of some sort, so maybe it is necessary. But still, if it's already been activated on the phone number previously, it seems like there's some slim chance it might not be necessary to flash back to WM to do a simple ESN swap back.

Has anyone tried it? I'll probably try out my TP2 on Android for a few days again soon now that sound is working, but then get frustrated by the parts that still don't work well and flash back to the Vogue again. :) So maybe I'll try it then if nobody else has.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
You need to switch back to windows mobile in order to activate, even if the phone has the mdn and msid programed in it still has a provisioning code it sends out so you can activate it but you just won't have data
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
"If you find yourself with a Samsung Galaxy S device, and you’re branded by Vodafone, you may want to think twice about upgrading any software. Apparently, Vodafone has begun terminating the carrier warranty of the device, if users install “unapproved” software upgrades to their devices. That means, even if you upgrade to the latest version of Android, no matter how small the update, and you didn’t get it specifically from Vodafone, they won’t do anything for you in their stores."

http://androidcommunity.com/vodafon...if-not-on-carrier-approved-firmware-20100823/

I guess that's one reason to not use Kies if you are on Vodafone. Seriously, I think this is a terrible policy, it's trying to do more than just get people to not root and install custom firmware. It's not trying to prevent them from downloading beta software. It's trying to force them into carrier branded bloatware with potentially crippled features and, in the process, delaying updates.

For all those who wonder why Kies does software upgrades through Kies, it's for precisely these reasons, some carriers will do all they can to stand in the way of an upgrade. I know some may stick up for the carrier and say they need to do network testing and yada yada, but seriously, when looking at the networks themselves there are reasons why some networks delay the mess out of updates while others just seem to flow through like water after they are announced.

And personally, to me, I don't know if this in their original terms of sale, but this is something that if it weren't there I'd be looking to get out of my contract if I could get the same phone on a competing network at the same price. This is nearly a deal breaker, when the Galaxy S & Android are pushing features that some carriers wont want or will want to charge extra for. I want the carrier as far away from my software as possible and this is a policy to support.

FTA: Update: According to Vodafone UK, the update will not void your warranty. Glad the issue has been clarified and the confusion is due to the fact that the JM1 update in question originated from Samsung rather than from Vodafone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Thanks for the update, but...

Reading that story, it seems there is still an open and unresolved issue going forward.

"the update will not void your warranty" is definitely not the same as saying all official Samsung updates will not void your warranty. It definitely, from this quote and the source article, sounds like they will do this somewhat on a case-by-case basis. Meaning, should they decide at any point in time due to network traffic caused by included software to not support an update and/or lots of extra warranty claims (let's say it's just bad software and runs the processor too hard and too much and the phone just melts :eek:) they may say "We never supported update X - build Y".

For now it sounds like this will be a rare, if ever occuring, but the potential is there. I guess it's a dead issue...for now...
[Desire Android Development] ajanu:
Great post man. I found the "dont plug the phone in yet" part out the hard way. I thought I had busted it on the 1st try!

Couple of things.

USB debugging is under development in Apps. (not a big deal)

Those unrevoked drivers worked great for me, I followed the instructions in the HTML doc that came with the zip. I have heard there are extra drivers needed for windows 7, and you have to be sure your running unrevoked as an admin.

Once I was rooted, I used RomManager to get the newest clockwork and flashed it. I used rom manager to flash the rom, HBoot to flash the radio, and did it backwards. Seems to not make a difference.

Thanks for doing this!

Edit: you forgot the most important part! Always Nandroid backup, and copy all the files from the SD card as soon as you are rooted incase something goes wrong.

Below may be wrong info, but it is what happened to me.

//////////////Extra tip, if you format an SD card, be sure you copy back the clockwork files before you unmount the card. I didn't and could not boot at all untill I copyed all the files back. I went straight to a nandroid without trying to boot into android, so I don't know if I messed up Android, but I know it would not boot to anything untill I fixed the SD card.

////////////////////
[Desire Android Development] quazis:
Can you elaborate on this? I'm assuming Clockwork recovery is stored on the SD card?
[Desire Android Development] fourire:
BIGGGG THANKS, I will try tonight.
[Desire Android Development] ajanu:
Below may be wrong info, but it is what happened to me.

//////////////Yes there is a folder called clockwork mod, in there were my nandroid backups. I copied everything on the SD back and Clockwork booted, so I can't say for sure, but I'd assume all you need is the clockwork folder. There are other folders that look like system folders that may also be important./////////////
[Desire Android Development] fourire:
This is exactly the part I wanted, when I had to use nandroid
[Desire Android Development] quazis:
I believe this is misinformation.. only reason because I was having that endless HTC frozen screen so I formated my SD card, the FAT32 partition and the EXT3 partition in windows using Paragon Partition Manager, finally got back into recovery, wiped everything from cache to davlik cache as well.. then installed my rom.

If Clockwork was stored on the SD card.. I believe it wouldn't have booted.. got a little confused there. However, the Nandroid backups are stored on the SD card.. that I know for sure!
[Desire Android Development] ajanu:
These devices make no sense to me. Maybe I didn't help anything with the copy and just trying to boot a few times would work. I would expect things to work or not work, but they work intermittently some times. Certainly increases the confusion/frustration levels.
[Desire Android Development] -Mr. X-:
Wouldnt be using the latest radio and using "recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.img" instead of the old one be better?
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Link has been updated to reflect the latest Clockwork recovery version.

Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] -Mr. X-:
No problem and here is a link to the new radio if you want to update it. it appears to be much better then the one linked in tut. Here it is
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Radio link updated as well, thanks!
[Desire Android Development] fourire:
What is EXT3 partition ?

I would like to get more details about the sdcard ? I make my backup with nandroid and after I format the sdcard....so if I want restore the back up from Nandroid, it will not be there....sorry for the noob questions
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
This step has been added to the guide....thank you!
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Ext3 partition is for A2SD, I never touched my SD Card until I was rooted, updated radio, and loaded a custom ROM. I can't say whether or not the SD card plays a role in freezing during boot to recovery or not? But like I said I never partitioned my SD until after everything was done.....
[Desire Android Development] Marinelli.Tv:
Very good tutorial !

Thank you
[Desire Android Development] fourire:
After all that, what's about the apps, contacts, calendar ?

And for this file: 2. Get the needed recovery image from here: http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recover....0.7-bravo.zip... is it for slcd ?
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip has been confirmed to work with SLCD, the link has been updated.

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] dr_pepper:
ok - at step 8

8. *** VERY IMPORTANT*** Before restarting do a "wipe cache partition", "factory reset". And now would be a good time for a Nandroid Backup

Can someone point me to a nandroid backup tutorial.
[Desire Android Development] -Mr. X-:
It works ive flashed it as my recovery img
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
It's pretty straight forward.....

Just click on Nandroid while you're still in recovery (after wipe) and then hit Backup....
[Desire Android Development] -Mr. X-:
In case you missed it.
[Desire Android Development] dr_pepper:
I must be missing something. I have Superuser app, but am unclear on "recovery screen" and running Nandroid from there. What does the recovery screen look like?
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Without getting into a long explanation of steps that already exist in the first post, you've obviously missed a step.

Hint:

8. *** VERY IMPORTANT*** Before restarting do a "wipe cache partition", "factory reset". And now would be a good time for a Nandroid Backup

Follow the steps before, and up to this one and you'll be good to go.....
[Desire Android Development] dr_pepper:
Working now. The file 2.5.0.1-bravo originally posted with this Tut did not work on my Desire for whatever reason. I do have SLCD version for sure.
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Glad it worked out for you!
[Desire Android Development] dr_pepper:
Biggest challenge was the drivers for ADB (even after getting the new image). They simply wouldn't work no matter what. I would install adb drivers but then when running recovery it would see the phone as a new device and wouldn't let me select drivers....yada yada yada. Anyway, I simply used the drivers that come with HTC sync from HTC's web page and that's what worked for me.
[Desire Android Development] dr_pepper:
Am running leedroid and have my wifi hotspot going and will try voice navigate this afternoon. awesome
[Desire Android Development] vanlon:
I've tried a couple roms now and Leedroid without the A2SD+ works the best. The A2SD+ seems to corrupt my SD card.
[Desire Android Development] m3_lover:
Make sure in Reevoked before you plug in the desire for the recovery img that it says custom and not ClockModRecovery...took me awhile to figure that out. With the clockmodrecovery image it still got me to have the super app, but when I try to log in recovery my htc screen would freeze with a black bar on top. After rooting and installing the image everything worked.
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Do you have an EXT3 partition? A2SD requires an EXT3 partition......
[Desire Android Development] dr_pepper:
Ok guys - so now I'm rooted and running Leedroid. Now what. I see a Rom Manager app with referenceds to clockworkmod etc. I'm assuming this is now an app to manage and install roms from within Froyo and leedroid. Anyone care to point me to a tut on how this works. I'm assuming this is going to be how I get future versions of leedroid onto my phone? Have done some reading, but the slcd vs amoled seems to be important, so want to ensure I'm doing this right as I don't want to spend a week fixing my phone.
[Desire Android Development] pr5owner:
i had to edit the ini file myself with the Hardware ID of my telus desire as i could not install the drivers since it kept saying, something about no info was found for your HW.
[Desire Android Development] DarkDragon03:
Just wondering but is it absolutely necessary to do the wipe twice just for rooting the phone? (not including flashing a custom rom) Mainly because I followed the original guide by slimdizzy without wiping even once, and everything turned out fine for my phone.
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Yes it is, because this is what fixed the problem of Clockwork recovery hanging at the HTC screen for some people (myself included), but I recommend you flash Amon RA, I haven't had any issues loading recovery since I flashed it, and it's way better!
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Are you using Windows 7? There is an easier way to force the drivers in Win7, I'm going to update the tutorial with these steps soon.......
[Desire Android Development] dr_pepper:
can you update with........never mind
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
I already have....
[Desire Android Development] pr5owner:
sorry i am using

Windows 7 x64 Ultimate

Telus sim unlocked Desire

i tried in Windows XP via VM and it still didnt pick up the drivers becuase the HWID wasnt in the INF

once the INF was modded i was able to root and flash pinky's rom, now i just need to figureout why my stupid desire keeps rebooting, i think my mobo has a voltage leak or some crap.
[Desire Android Development] fourire:
Could you add in the tutorial, how to make an ext3 partition and when you should create this partition ?
[Desire Android Development] Blazeitup123:
i cannot get there drivers worked out...
[Desire Android Development] quazis:
This is just a fyi..

I've been using the first Clockwork Recovery Mod, v2.5.0.1 SLCD and have had constant freezing at the HTC white screen. It was so bad that I'd hate rebooting my phone cause I was afraid I'd have to do a battery pull!

I downloaded the new unrevoked, chose Amon RA recovery and plugged the USB into the phone and let it do it's thing. After numerous tests rebooting phone, powering on/off, or rebooting into recovery (open desire feature), I have had no freezes!

I would encounter at least one freeze while having Clockwork mod.. I also find that Amon RA recovery to be smoother when using my OJ.

+1 for Amon RA! :D
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
PM me if you want some help, I'm working on an updated Windows 7 drivers portion for this tutorial, but in the mean time I will try my best to help you!
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Amon RA is the best recovery! I have never had a problem with it after 2+ years of using it, and I'm very happy to have it on my Desire now!

Everyone should flash it ASAP!!!!
[Desire Android Development] RockCrayfish:
Hey Guys! I followed the steps to rooting and flashing my phone and everything has gone quite smoothly, minus the lock-ups when entering recovery mode.

Thanks OP! :)

That being said, I have one problem with the OpenDesire 4.0 ROM. My camera flash does not operate, no matter the setting. Is there something I missed or is this a known bug with OpenDesire?
