[EVO 4G General] ricomilion:
Sprint will not fix it.

The only way to fix it is getting a new board, cause my circuit lines are striped.
[EVO 4G General] ricomilion:
But anyway,is there any chance I can root my EVO over SD card?

I can put files in the SD and install them on the phone.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazzatron:
Only just noticed this today:

Is it a socket for an external antenna or is like a mic or speaker?

cheers,
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nankov:
I beleive that is the mic and the speaker is above it :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazzatron:
Cheers, I wasnt expecting to have discovered something exciting, just hadnt noticed it before.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -PiLoT-:
if your talking about the gold circle with the hole then it is for external antenna
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johndub71:
I concour.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazzatron:
How sure are you that its an antenna socket?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yetep:
It's the antenna.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LegalizeIt:
It's antenna socket.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiario:
I don't know if it's antenna socket,if so,there is another one...Look at the picture...I found the picture in this forum-dissasembling X10...

Sorry for my bad english.l

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dante-fu:
I say it is a mic :)

why would unused antenna socket need an opening in the back cover? Also, it is too shallow to be an actual connector and... why put it under a cover? :)

81% that's not good is it? Sky raider rc3, Kingsx2 kernel running I'm overclocked at 113. coupons widget running, any rss widgets and genie widget running in the bg. Any suggestions anyone?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johantheolive:
I'm running kings kernel (cant recall which) with RC3 as well, and i'm actually underclocked a little bit. I have only one widget that updates which is weather. I've used the phone to download an app, very brief browsing, sent/received maybe 5 messages. My battery is at 86% with 3:15 uptime, 43 minutes awake, and I bump charged last night. I'm using stock battery btw and my phone is just over 2 weeks old.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] raptir:
I know I haven't had any issues with Astro in the past, but now that I finally ran Unrevoked Forever on my Droid Incredible and have NAND access, I wanted to try Root Explorer. Someone told me they had heard about people having issues with it... any thoughts?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheBiles:
It is a must-have app for any root user, in my opinion. Fantastic app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lambstone:
Its not really a must have for root users but rather only if you want to mess with "root" stuff. As for me I use it to modify values in apps. Such as some TD games to give me more money :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilkorn:
It would help to name the issues you heard it had. I haven't had any problems with it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] raptir:
Well, they didn't go into detail except to say that they wouldn't use it for removing unwanted system apps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 95EGCoupeVTEC:
so my friend has a D Incredible and he wanted to get FroYo. well i told him to root with unrEVOked3 and then forever then flash a rom with the 2.2 leaked on it. well he wanted the ota release and after he got it he realized all the goods that come with root so now he wants to get back to 2.1 so he can s-off and then go back to ota or rom or w/e. is this a possibility or will he need ot wait till unrevoked cracks the ota release? thanks and i have a Moment that i've rooted and all but these htc phones are slightly different. i know i can just flash stock 1.5 or even 2.1 if i wanted on mine with no hassle.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sjflowerhorn:
im in the same boat got the phone and it was already updated. Feels like my eris when it was leaked before i got it refurbed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smwoodward:
I posted instructions on how to do this in another post, or the unrevoked is Working on a root solution to 2.2

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sjflowerhorn:
Saw the link late last night and took care of it all this morning. Now I'm rooted, s-off, running skyraider 2.5. But I'm keeping my moto droid and giving the dInc to my girl so she doesn't have the eris as her main device.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeem:
I followed those and...

I followed those directions and now I'm not stuck in hboot/fastboot every time it starts. It says 1.00 radio so I assume everything worked up until that point. When I run bootloader it tells me "No Images" and "No image or wrong image!" PB31IMG.zip

I'm thinking maybe I got a filename wrong?

My sd card is formatted fat32.

Should I re-update? I assume this is the factory reset where it won't try to re-flash the radio again and brick me but I'm not risking anything until I can find someone with more experience. Right now I just want to get out of this boot loop.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smwoodward:
Download another copy of the 2.1 pb31img.zip or extract out of the ruu, makes sure card is fat32 and try again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalepl:
Just reapply the update.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sjflowerhorn:
if using linux try gparted and if using windows it should format to fat32 but using the handset formats to fat16 so you can't do it on your dInc

You could hold off for the new unrevoked3 release... this was just posted on their twitter account:

[Captivate General] Corriewf:
Short and sweet, cant upload to YouTube. I have a video that's 97 megs and it fails every time. I am on wifi....stumped.
[Captivate General] cachookaman:
you need to keep retrying and itll eventually upload. or you can just upload from a computer which is much quicker and easier.
[Captivate General] Corriewf:
Thanks. Is this a problem with android overall or the captivate? I came across some droid x post complaining about vids over 100 megs.
[Captivate General] CptTwinkie:
This problem is really bugging me too. From what I have read the YouTube app uploader isn't very good and the uploads are something smaller than 720p once they are on YouTube. There is an app by pixelpipe?? that can supposedly keep the upload in 720p but there's something on the EULA about them owning the content and you have to give them your password.

From what I understand about the upload failures (on wifi) it seems to be a twofold problem. YouTube has updated their site twice in recent months which may be creating compatibility problems with the app. Also the youtube's compression and distribution system seems to be in a state of chaos in general.

I haven't seen anything that comes out and says any of this but its what I've been able to piece together.

I'm planning to shoot some vids this weekend so I'll keep looking and post if i find anything out
[Captivate General] Little Dragon:
A bit OT but us there a way to login to your youtube acct? All i see is search and featured videos
[Captivate General] CptTwinkie:
Login is automatic through your Google account. Use the menu to view your account
[Captivate General] Corriewf:
Well that blows! I wonder if samsung is aware of the problem and working on it. I hate not being able to upload in HD to YouTube.
[Captivate General] myx0mop:
Probably has to do with the lack of HSUPA

oh, you did say WiFi... never mind
[Captivate General] cachookaman:
the youtube uploader uploads the full video but it just takes forever to do so. theres an app from pixelpipe that i use from time to time. it uploads the video file in its full resolution too but there isnt a progress bar when its uploading.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.pixelpipe.android.lite
[Captivate General] Corriewf:
Yeah but you have to agree to them owning the content which total BS.
[Captivate General] eatkabab:
you stole my thread :-p

I just took a 40mb 720p video and have been trying to upload it for maybe 30 min now. It keeps stopping after moving a few % and says will "...retry after 1 minute..." But it only does another few % then stops again.

Terrible. Kinda destroys the whole flow of personal media. I read here that its an app/youtube problem so I hope they update it
[Captivate General] CptTwinkie:
Good try though. At least you found a fast way to upload to YouTube.
[Captivate General] Corriewf:
Samsung really needs to fix these things. I mean the gps issue, connecting to enterprise wifi, exchange issues, and YouTube uploads on wifi. Do we have to wait till Froyo for these fixes?
[Captivate General] cachookaman:
the youtube thing isnt really a samsung issue. ive read that its a problem with all android phones. its the actual youtube app and servers that cause it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Markus214:
Ok so I purchased a MT3G 1.2 (3.5mm headphone jack) today and was excited because i had no idea it came as a 32a pvt board. I come from G1 and so used to being at a 32b board and being able to use those roms and some mytouch because there the same boards. Now my question is this. Is the hero a 32a pvt board as well? And if it is can you essentially go into the hero section and download roms? i would think not but you guys know more in here. not a newbie to flashing roms just new to mt3g. any help is appreciated thank you. Going to start getting this phone rooted =) and doing some research
[Droid Incredible General] raptir:
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Instead of the 3G icon being gray most of the time, it's now always white regardless of whether or not I'm using 3G.
[Droid Incredible General] Wynnded:
Yep.......
[Droid Incredible General] NilsP:
Yup, but the arrows are still gray until use
[Droid Incredible General] mihneagabriel:
This.
[Droid Incredible General] Berzerker7:
It's a change made to services.jar for 2.2. I asked pardonmyfreedom about it, and he said he'd look into it.
[Droid Incredible General] raptir:
Well, it doesn't bother me, as long as it's not constantly pulling some data down. Just making sure it was normal.
[Droid Incredible General] NilsP:
Use like in turns white when 3G is in use or if you prefer "being used"
[Droid Incredible General] mihneagabriel:
I understood, i was just seconding your comment. :D
[Droid Incredible General] NilsP:
That's Cool...
[Droid Incredible General] timehunter:
The 3G icon will be white, but there are two arrows underneath the 3G icon that should only be white when there is actual data transmission. Otherwise the arrows should be gray.
[Droid Incredible General] Berzerker7:
If you use the services.jar from Uncommon Sense (even though it's 6-bar), he did patch it so that it would recognize dormant connections and turn off the 3G icon.

[Epic 4G Android Development] bsnyder217:
how long is this supposed to take? it seems to be stuck on "file analysis"
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
It shouldn't take long at all. Make sure you put the files in the correct place. Also, make sure the phone is NOT connected to USB when you put it into download mode. Always start Odin just before plugging it in and restart it each time you need to flash something else.

Even then, sometimes Odin will hang for no good reason before actually flashing anything (you won't see any progress in Odin), so power the phone off and try it again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:

[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Worked but man is that Odin fussy huh?
[Epic 4G Android Development] raiderep:
Just wanted to give my experience here. I have been playing with Odin and came to this:

Flashing with just the tar file in PDA with auto-reboot as the only thing checked on the left side works just fine. I am surmising that having a kernel in Phone was the reason for having to flash a second time with the modem.bin in Phone to correct the issue so this eliminates the second flash. The PIT file is also not needed in my testing.

Now for a small bone of contention, a truly 'bricked' phone is one that needs to be exchanged for a new one as all hope for fixing is lost, but I digress. This will return a phone to working order if you have monkeyed with it and need to start fresh.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bubby323:

With my windows7 computer I need to literally unplug and plug the usb in several times before it recognizes the phone when in download mode for some odd reason.

[Epic 4G Android Development] raiderep:
Did you try the method I mentioned a few posts back? It sounds like you might have done the OP method and left out the last step of flashing the modem.bin file. If you try my way there is only one step.

i didnt root my epic.. its completely stock. is it possible to install this update without a recovery console? if so.. how?

[Epic 4G Android Development] edonnelly:
If you are completely stock, then all you need to do is get the zip file from the first post of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=796885

Rename the file to update.zip

put that file on the root directory of your sd card

turn off your phone, then turn it on while holding vol down, camera and power buttons.

That will take you into the stock recovery mode.

Use the vol buttons to move the highlight to "apply update.zip" (something like that)

Press the home key, and you should be fully updated.

The other option, if you are fully stock, is to just wait until it comes over the air, which should be any day since people are getting it already and they said it would be a four-day roll out.

Just a warning... I bricked my phone trying to flash a Galaxy S Froyo 2.2 firmware update to my Epic using Odin. This is confirmed working on the variants of Galaxy S phones for other carriers, but not the Epic 4G. After some research and hypothesizing, my conclusion is that there are too many hardware differences between the Epic 4G and other Galaxy S phones to flash the leaked Froyo 2.2 Update to the Epic. This is total user error, I bricked two phones attempting to flash Froyo 2.2 update. Just FYI if anyone else is thinking of trying to update the Epic Android 2.2.

For people having trouble, try running ODIN without the SD card inserted.

[Epic 4G Android Development] rmartinez2:
Lol. sorry dont mean to laugh at ur expense but i think its the first time i've every actualyl felt the desperation from just reading someones words as oppose to seeing and hearing it in thier voice. Anyway how long have you waited to see if it will eventually boot? IF you've waited a while and it didnt boot then Odin will be your best friend. Odin can/should fix anything so long as the phone powers on.

Go HERE

or alternatively just go to the first post of this very thread and it points you to that link as well. In the first post there is a tar file for the di07 update use that with odin instructions and that should get you to at the least the di07 update. From there you can try the di18 update again.
