[Vibrant General] Calcvictim:
So I had stock firmware running rooted and using chainfires lag fix(ext3).

Today I tried to do the free sim unlock and it seemed to work fine.

Upon next reboot I kept on getting FC on all my apps, including launcher pro. Now I am getting a message saying that my memory is full and all the good stuff. I might have screwed something up when I was getting the blm3 file but my question is what is my best way to proceed, should I try to just revert back using chainfires exe or should I just use Odin and reflash the firmware.

If I reflash the firmware using Odin, how can I clean the internal sd card so I do not have remain of crap on it from the lagfix?

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] d_bot:
you could always get ROM Manager, and try a "fix permissions" it may help.....
[Vibrant General] Calcvictim:
can't install anything from market, freezes at starting download, also all my apps the built in ones show as 0 bytes space

I will most likely reinstall, too bad because everything was perfect before it all broke.
[Vibrant General] Julianmgn:
is your SD card mounted?????
[Vibrant General] Calcvictim:
yes, both internal and external sd cards are mounted, I can see them in the "files" application and in terminal emulator
[Vibrant General] Julianmgn:
u cant install any apps when sd cards are mounted, u have to unmount them.
[Vibrant General] Calcvictim:
lol, dude. They're mounted on the phone not on the pc
[Vibrant General] Julianmgn:
wtf lol, i probably should have been more specific haha but yeah idk...
[Vibrant General] d_bot:
could you push the rom manager apk with adb? or you could try applying the lagfix again. I think your best options would be to either nandroid back, or better yet ODIN back, then unlock(you have the key), then root, then install all the goodies.
[Vibrant General] javacody:
Maybe try reverting the lag fix? Is there an undo script for the particular lag fix method you used?
[Vibrant General] Calcvictim:
undid the lagfix and market was broken still, I ended up doing an Odin restore on my gf's pc (32 bit windows) x64 was getting stuck.

All in all not bad, and me being stupid, I am applying the lagfix again on the fresh install. Once I know how to do it, it's a cakewalk.

Thanks Peeps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] factualpuddle:
Well, my phone wont even recognize that it is plugged into my computer.. it won't recognize the sd card in it either, is there a way i could fix this with the carebear screen? like get an img of a rom and name it to where it loads it..? i really need this fixed...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Dont think there is anything you can do from your recovery. But there is a thread over at the modaco site called "No SD, No adb" which might be helpful?

could anyone give me all sprints and htcs apps that people normally remove?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
SprintZone

Sprint Nascar

Sprint Football Live

Sprint TV

I think those are all the Sprint ones, but HTC has a lot of stuff on there and I don't know what is safe to remove and what isn't. I know Peep, Flickr and Twitter (I removed both b/c I use neither), and some wallpapers are OK to remove, as well as the HTC stocks/news stuff. I kept the HTC weather stuff because I like widget the phone came with with the clock/weather right on the main home screen

Edit: Sprint Navigation.....I forgot to mention that one.

What to do with an old device?

You are going to upgrade to the newest!, what would you do with your “old” device?, sell it? Ok, but if money is not a problem for you, will you be so kind to donate?

Instead of keeping it completely inactive, donation to an XDA Developer or Chef is a great way to give a decent pass away to your ex-beloved device, don´t you think?, also you will be actively helping on developing and at the end you will be the one getting the benefits!.

The idea of this is that members willing to donate their old device to an XDA Chef or Developer can use this thread to point, determine and follow the donation process to an specific member.

@Developers and Chefs who want to receive donations, please post here the reason and the device models you want to be donated and the usage you are planning to.

So, in order to keep this thread clean, let´s try to use this format to easily recognize if you are a Donor or a Chef/Dev:

Regardless of if I use network time or I set my own time ( and time zone).

SMS time stamps are 4 hours behind the phone system time..

Has anyone seen this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paarsand:
I have seen this, but only in google talk on my sgs.

I've changed to litterally 20 different timezones and nothing seems to do the trick.

It did work before i did a hard reset on the phone a couple of days ago. :|

SMS Time Fix
[Windows Phone 7 General] brihyn:
So we already have a thread on T-Mo. Anyone have any in's on the true story of Sprint phones? will we have anything on release day?

My contract expired back in may and I've been biding my time waiting to see WP7...really want to make sure it will be worth my wait, and that Sprint doesn't delay and has quality phones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Highly doubt you will see any CDMA phones this year.

Just check FCC
[Windows Phone 7 General] brihyn:
Not to come accross as rude, but is this based on anything, or just guess work on your part?

We didn't know about some of the phones that are filling up the web today (based on FCC Info that was just released) a week ago, seems that the lack of information doesn't prove anything one way or another. If you your reply is more than a guess (and again, not trying to sound rude at all...i just want a Win Phone 7 toy as bad as everyone else), than I'd love to know the source of info, or even the fact that you can't give away the source.

There was the rumored "HTC Gold W" for Sprint...anything coming from that?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
There's no reason to think that Sprint won't be carrying a WP7 device at launch, unlike Verizon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
From the things I've read GSM devices will get the 1st crack, and CDMA will come next year. It could just be the rumor-mill though.

I don't mind waiting though. I think I'll wait for Gen 2 or 3 devices. I'm hoping MS gets more chipset drivers coded, I'd like to see SnapDragon vs. Hummingbird vs. Tegra 2.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brihyn:
I wouldn't mind waiting if I wasn't in desperate need of a phone. In 4 months time, I'm on my second Vogue, and it now has a broken USB jack...seems to only charge when plugged into a pc usb port. This would be fine if i didn't have to rely on it for on-call pages overnight.

A lot of recent articles on the HTC Spark, and most claim it's supposed to have CDMA included, so we'll see.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Wanna bet?

No CDMA phones this year. To be honest I really don't know, but if T-MO gets a device first then Sprint won't get it until next year. Its been this way for some reason.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I think it's mostly just people talking out of their rear end. The Verizon rumors seem to have teeth but that shouldn't affect Sprint. It's not like a GSM phone will work on all the carriers worldwide anyways. They're pretty much always customized/modified and it really shouldn't be all that different for the OEMs to toss the CDMA radio chip in instead of the GSM chip.

What's been this way? Sprint got the Evo 4G. Verizon got the Incredible. The Touch Pro was available on Sprint first in the states.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
TMO got WM, year later Sprint got WM.

TMO got Android, year later Sprint got Android.

TMO gets WP7, year later Sprint gets....
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
What do events from many, many years ago and different OSes have to do with this? T-Mo got Android before anyone else, worldwide. At this point, there's just as much likelihood for Sprint to get a WP7 device on launch day as T-Mo. Leading the pack seems to be AT&T but there's no reason the others won't as well.

You're just looking at past events and assuming there's a connection to current events. Look at the reasons behind those events and you'll see that they simply don't apply here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blaiz123:
All I know is that a WP7 phone on the Sprint network would be perfect since the advanced hardware can really take advantage of the 4G network :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] IM0001:
I really believe Sprint would not be stupid enough to not get a WP7 device the minute launch day comes for the US. I do believe GSM gets the first crack since Europe is getting WP7 a month before the US, but after that we already have leaks of HTC based _W phones (World Phones like the Touch Pro 2 for those that do not know) and I would really think Sprint wants to pad their 4G with a 4G WP7 device as soon as they can. A device that can really use the whole offering 4G has to offer. (With streaming Netflix, Intigrated Zune, and XBLive, as long as they do not gimp the phones like ATT does with the iPhone).

Why AT&T continues to get countless new phones is beyond me. They can't handle the iPhone data useage alone let alone all the Android + iPhone + future WP7 Traffic they are going to get.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
Here's something from engadget that speaks of some "source"...It's all hearsay, but I can see that happening.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I refuse to believe that comment about Europe getting WP7 first statement. It wasn't really made in an official statement but sorta off the cuff by a senior exec who likely isn't intimately familiar with the launch. It would go against Microsoft's entire history, both recent and further back, of USA first. At most, Europe will get it at the same time which would be a big deal for Microsoft since they normally forget about the rest of the world.

At least I hope I'm right lol. The only reason I can think of is some sort of regulatory or carrier issues that would cause them to delay it here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
US is usually slower on Cell Technologies though, so it's perfectly plausible given the environment.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Not sure what you're really referring to exactly but how would that apply to a new OS made by an American company?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
MS has teams all around the world.

We are behind in cell technologies, hell some people here think the iphone 4 is the first phone with video chat.

Where have all the leaks been coming from? Sure wasn't the US.

I hate it, but we are behind.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Yea, our networks are behind (and that's not really 100%, we have broader 4G deployment). But we're not behind on software. iPhone was launched here first as was Android. There's no reason that WP7 isn't launched here if not ahead of the rest, at least at the same time. MSFT doesn't even have the Zune store available abroad yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Iphone team is here in the US, so are all the iphone leaks.

The Android team is here in the US, Android was a company here in the US before being purchased by Google .

MS teams are all around the world. That's why if you ask a WP7 spoke person about specific parts of the OS, they don't have a clue. Or specific release dates, they don't have a clue.

We're at a point now to where we would have seen a CDMA leak, especially for Sprint.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Ummmm MS is 99% in the US. Next largest is a team in India but they mostly did the emulator if I'm not mistaken. If you don't get an answer from a spokesperson it's because they're not allowed to talk about it or they're not a developer or even a technical person so they really don't have any clue about it in general. They very well might not know the release dates because Microsoft doesn't want anything leaked. It's a "need to know" situation. The people that do know sure as hell aren't just going to run around telling people because they don't want to lose their job. Nothing you've said has anything to do with a CDMA device coming/not coming to Sprint at launch. It doesn't even qualify as circumstantial evidence.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Ok MS 99% in the US, total BS.

You have no proof that Sprint will get a device at launch. None.

Bottom line Sprint won't get WP7 this year. Shocking if they do.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brihyn:
Vet, i have to ask what your own proof is that Sprint won't get a phone this year other than completely unrelated historical events. WP7 is a totally different type of release event than Android, and as recently as 12 days ago there are articles about the HTC Spark having a CDMA ability. Add to this the upcoming HTC big PR party they're planning for September, and there very well may be phones this year.

Again, if you have any real proof to the contrary, I'd love to see it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Ok so it's 61%. I wasn't able to find data on Google and Apple (they don't seem to publish their US headcounts, only total worldwide). I would bet that they're not much different though, particularly google. Back in 2007 (the only year I can find numbers), only 53% of Google's employees were in the US. But what does this have to do with the topic at hand?

You're right, I don't have any proof that Sprint will get a device at launch. You don't have any proof that Sprint won't get a device either. The difference is that I never claimed that Sprint will be getting one whereas you have claimed repeatedly, with no information supporting it, that Sprint won't be getting a device at launch.
[Windows Phone 7 General] IM0001:
Sprint should be getting the HTC Gold_W while Verizon is getting the HTC Spark_W

HTC will have us covered and it looks like most of the phones may all be the same hardware between carriers, still should be impressive enough to get the ball rolling.

And again it would be stupid for anyone not to get a new WP7 device when the Holiday season hit. Think about it. They all need new devices to show off to get people to get as gifts and whatnot around Christmas.

The fact that they have not leaked anything is probably to keep the Marketing strong to the recently released Epic for Sprint and the new Droids on Verizon. Once the leaks get out that they do have some sweet WP7 devices coming out soon, that may deter buyers from getting a shiny new droid NOW.

Also Sprint is setting up the old SERO users (like me) with the ability to get Premium phones (Android/BB currently) for $10 extra and another $10 to get the 4G devices. (If you have the SERO 500 plan you pay $50mo for an EVO/Epic. That is a good deal. My $50 1250 Minute SERO plan would then be $70 which is still not bad) My guess is they would do that to let more people get into the newer phones and unlock them from the old TP2 which a lot of SERO users have to get the new WP7 (Since the new SERO options do not start till October 1st.. Hmm)

Again just a guess but you can't deny its plausible.

Its all about marketing. Microsoft said they will all be ready on release day and that day is still a good few months away. God this year has been nothing but a huge waiting game for me lol.

GT5 - November.. We hope of this year.

TDU2 - November/Decemberish?

WP7 - September-October?

Kenect/Move - Whenever they are out and I wanna pick it up. Maybe Christmas.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brihyn:
great post, thanks.

Totally makes sense on why we're not seeing leaks from Sprint, definitely a plausible theory. there are VERY FEW leaks that aren't "official" from the marketing departments, i would bet.

And thanks for the SERO info. Wife sent me the information, but it didn't make a lot of sense in her email last week. I actually just called today and dropped down to the 500 plan...I wasn't using more than a fraction of my 1250 minutes before.
[Windows Phone 7 General] IM0001:
Woah Woah Woah!!!! You can do this for sure?!? I was wondering about this and wanted confirmation before I made the swap. Any idea if they close at 5 or anything? I will give them a call today to drop me to 500. Whats cool is the first +$10 give you the Any mobile Anytime option + Sprint Nav and 1 other thing (forgot). So you will still have 50 more minutes then the EPRP gets for landline calling and such lol.

Also on the leaks. We keep getting rumors on the iPhone on Verizon but do we have any real hard facts.. Still not much. WE know there will be a CMDA iPhone, just not 100% on who or when they will get it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brihyn:
yup, you can (I was nervous calling as well), and i was promised it won't put me under a new contract (again, mine expired in may, waiting for WP7 to do a new contract).

Still have the phone # on my desk...888-876-8381. Even though it's mid-month, i switched immediately. the extra credit will now be applied to next month's bill.

and this is perfect...my company pays back 20$ of my bill each month since it's my on-call phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cyclical:
Can't wait until WP7 hits Sprint, I also have the Sero $30 plan :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
@Rusty, I guess you're right.

Its a waiting game for sure.

By the way CDMA iphone showed up testing on Verizon last week. No actual photos though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] IM0001:
Your Awesome. Just called and got mine knocked down to 500 as well. Continue to get my discount and everything (-$10 mo which covers the taxes+insurance). One of the nicest CS agents from Tennessee too. :cool:

Now for a few months at $30 straight followed by a bump back to $50 for a new WP7 4G device WOOT! Sprint > *
[Windows Phone 7 General] JC_Agga:
Did you mean Touch Pro or Touch Pro 2? Because i nkow touch pro 2 was realised for tmobile first in the states but idk about the Touch Pro. But whenever there is a phone that is available on multiple carriers, gsm carrieres will likely to get it first unless the phone is exclusive to certain carrieres like hTC Evo for Sprint. I think it's because most of the countries use GSM network than CDMA so i guess it's easier to launch gsm phones than CDMA phones for the same model.
[Windows Phone 7 General] markus_del_marko:
sprint has no foreseeable plans for a wp7 device. maybe in 2011, i dunno?
[Windows Phone 7 General] markus_del_marko:
"if" a wp7 comes to sprint you won't be able to use sero. they will also charge for the 4g, that's what they are going to do with all of their new phones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cyclical:
Did you read the last page?

Sprint is allowing users on the $30 Sero plan to pay $10 more and get their iconic devices such as the EVO etc. If it is a 4G phone you will be charged another $10 on top of that.

So $30 Sero + $10 for newer devices + $10 for 4G = $50, still cheap as hell.

If I remember correctly from previous posts, and from reading McGuires blog it is effective 10/01/2010.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blaiz123:
What about if you're going to get the everything family plan with 3 lines, would they still charge you for the 4G and newer device?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Touch Pro. While you're generally correct, there is no reason that this would preclude Sprint from getting a WP7 device at launch. Yes, you could say this would imply that it's less likely but not out of question by any means.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cyclical:
If you have one of the regular advertised pricing plan you only pay the $10 increase for a 4G phone like everyone else pays.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JC_Agga:
i see. I hope Sprint is smart enough to invest their money on Microsoft because i am thinking about moving from tmobile to sprint if they do have wp7 in stock. And also, i am thinking about moving to at&t but i am not too happy about their limited data usage.

[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
I'm not really sure if Sprint will have a WP7 device ready this Christmas, but that's more to do with the whole CDMA/GSM thing than anything else (ditto Verizon). Remember how long it took for Android to make it to Sprint and Verizon?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Both Sprint and Verizon had an Android phone before AT&T. T-Mobile doesn't even use the same bands as european devices so they require different hardware anyways.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gd761:
Nobody has the REAL SCOOP on when ANY WP7 phones will be released. The people who do know, you can sure bet they won't be talking any time soon. As to who is going to get WP7 first really does'nt matter. What does is that we ALL get it. What I am hopefully waiting for would be an HTC HD3 PRO. I just can't do without the sliding keyboard. It is a hell of a lot better than the on screen one. we can all go back and forth tit for tat with each other, but that also does'nt matter. we ALL should be focused on getting a WP7 phone and how we can tweak them to our own personal liking. Hopefully the guy's here can work wonders with helping us ALL out with that. HAVE A NICE DAY!

[Windows Phone 7 General] hercules rockefeller:
That announcement was announcing the sierra overdrive 3G/4G mobile hotspot. there was speculation that it would be regarding a 4G WM7 handset beforehand, but nothing's come out in that regard.

I was talking to an HTC rep a couple weeks ago (I work for Sprint and we had a device fair with reps from all of the manufacturers), and he wouldn't even give me a clue about upcoming handsets (I asked specifically about a sucessor to the Touch Pro 2, which is what I own currently).
[Windows Phone 7 General] fixxxer2008:
