[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kierster:
Hi there,

First time user with a desire on the telus network. I was referred to this site through a friend who did the froyo upgrade to his phone.

I have been working all day at figuring out how to root my phone and have had little luck getting any tutorial to work.

most recently I have use the linux version and the windows version of unrevoked and both go through the whole process and say done but leave my phone turned off and to the point that I have to pull the battery to get it on again. When I enter recovery mode and selected recovery the phone flashes the white screen with the HTC logo and then right to black. Previously in the day it would allow me to go to the black screen and allow me to flash the update files.

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction.

cheers

kieran

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungDipCLP:
are you pushing the lock button in recovery mode or the optical trackpad?

Sometimes people are not intelligent enough and cant flash a phone because they dont read the details in tutorials (--->ME<---) :D
[EVO 4G General] Rydah:
What's the story?
[EVO 4G General] rockage:
a pictures worth a thousand words :P.

phone fell off seat in movie theater, like 2 feet from ground..
[EVO 4G General] cubandevil:
was it naked?
[EVO 4G General] felacio:
I cried a little inside when I saw this picture..
[EVO 4G General] rockage:
without a case ? ya
[EVO 4G General] Tilde88:
:( sorry.

I hate how badly HTC tempers some of their phones [screen that is]

I remember when I got my first TP2, broke screen on first drop... I had a replacement,... That I still have... I treat it like trash! And lemme tell you this thing is sturdy. My Evo... Has been abused, dropped, fell straight on the curb of the sidewalk (right onto the raised part and onto the floor). Only visible thing is a tiny dot of glass that chipped off the lower bottom right.. This one is sturdy as hell too...
[EVO 4G General] rockage:
this was my first time dropping the phone, I only had it for about two weeks.

The screen is like scratch proof but not shatter proof, it should be the other way around at least (hopefully both). I tried using my keys to scratch out a hole in the glass so i could take it out and see if i could get a replacement glass but the keys wouldnt even scratch as hard as i tried
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
i died a little inside when i saw that picture. if that happened to my phone...i would probably cry
[EVO 4G General] Mohawka:
Dang that really sux. I was so scared when I dropped my Evo at work from a height of 30 ft and lucky for me I just had sum dirt in the kick stand but that was the day I added insurance on my bill. I'm sure if u have insurance they will give u a new screen as there was a time with my instinct I broke the screen 3 times in a month and Sprint fixed it no questions asked
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
i LOLed really
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
his name or the comment?
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
@ the PIC why put a 500$ phone on a sent and EVEN take the chance of it falling ?
[EVO 4G General] Djay45:
That sucks man :(. Well if you don't have insurance, they sell replacement touch screen digitizers on eBay. Not sure how easy it is to replace.

http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Sprint-Evo-...862017?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4152abc101

I have no affiliation to that seller, just looked up the cheapest one that wasn't out of the country.

Looks like some guys just put up a repair video too and it doesn't look too difficult, but I'd be scared to do it myself lol.

[EVO 4G General] Psosmith82:
Most sprint repair stores are stocking glass/screen replacements. Just go down there and get it fixed, generally they can do them in 15-20 minutes
[EVO 4G General] rockage:
actually im within the first 30 days, so im taking the phone back to a store and swapping it for a brand new one. which seems like a great deal to me.
[EVO 4G General] oshizzle1991:
if you are rooted you will probably have to unroot... but you already knew that ;)
[EVO 4G General] rockage:
I just flashed back to the stock rom i found in the evo wiki, that should be good correct ?
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Good luck man. 30 days or not they're probably not gonna just swap an obviously damaged phone out for a new one. Not saying it wont happen, just.. good luck!

You should be good with that. In my experience I've had no trouble taking rooted devices in to them. I always make sure at the very least it appears stock when they power it up.
[EVO 4G General] rockage:
I called them and they are the ones that suggested i just return it and get a new one since it's within thirty days. I called the store too, not sprint (sometimes they like to contradict each other).
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
WOW, that's freakin awesome!!

They really could have chosen not to help you, that's great.

Also, considering they are being so cool about swapping it out I would imagine they wont care at all about you rooting it, hell they'd probably like to see it.

I wonder how many Sprint employees think all Android owners are tards who know nothing about root because no one that goes in to the stores is willing to admit they have root :D
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
I've dropped mine from my desk at least a half a dozen times and I mean hard drops. I get caught on the cable getting up and the phone comes flying off my desk onto my hardwood floor. No damage at all to the phone. Which, makes it kind of hard for me to believe a 2 foot drop off a theater seat did that to your screen...
[EVO 4G General] cMeka:
Ugh, you have my condolences ..
[EVO 4G General] sprink0281:
From the looks of the damage it seems it might have hit something like the head of the bolt that secures the seat to the concrete.
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
Mines hit the chair leg, beer cans etc... Still find it hard to believe even if it did hit a bolt from 2 feet :D There is definitely more to this story LOL
[EVO 4G General] illogic6:
Damn... that must have hit just on the wrong spot. I haven't dropped mine once thankfully. Still going to keep paying for insurance until I'm up for upgrade in a couple months.
[EVO 4G General] rockage:
so the guy lied to me i guess, gonna have to pay the $100 for insurance and it's going to take 7 buisness days to get here.

as for the drop, nope that was it two feet or so, right onto the floor it landed face first.
[EVO 4G General] tonyh703:
wow i need to be more careful my evo falls on its screen side a little too often for my likin' :eek:
[EVO 4G General] turboll:
well i went to best buy bought the ipad invisible shield and wrapped my evo with it i mean all around! front back sides and corners leavin holes for hdmi charger mic etc! once its wrap its completly solid mine falls all the time but its still like new! i called my undestuctible EVO! :D
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Are you serious??

Please post some pics of this, please
[EVO 4G General] kshelton:
When I bought mine from the Sprint store I told him I was going to root it. He said he had his phone rooted also. We where laughing about it and even said hey now you won't have to pay for wifi teather. :D
[EVO 4G General] jkinnison90:
Jees, unlucky, or maybe I'm lucky...

I've dropped mine countless times from a few feet onto concrete, floors, out of my car, and it only has one tiny crack by the search button and some dings on the casing. And this is without any cases or screen protectors.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
you know there is one made specially for the evo right?
[EVO 4G General] turboll:
yeah but does NOT protect the sides and corners or the lil lip around the screen only front and back! instead mine its completly wrapped cant get pics of it cuz i dont have a camera i made all the holes using a nail clipper like this one its pointy and will allow you to lift a bit and cut where you want its better than using a blade cuts better too I FIRST PUTTED THE PLASTIC ON! THEN I MADE ALL THE HOLE YES INCLUDIN THE FRONT SPEAKER! just cut a piece big enough to wrap the phone remember dont worry about the holes you will do then when you cover the phone completly just put it on then to make it turn and stick around the corners i used a heat gun "blower" just enough heat to make it weak and soft dont make the plastic go all the way in to where the back door seats cuz it wont close properly have to cut it a the very edge dont worry about bubbles they will disapear in days i took my time and imagination to do this and its nice its like having my phone naked but like in a cage! sweet

I've installed 3G watchdog from the market.

After rebooting my phone, I need to manually load it.

Is there a way it could automatically load after reboot?

I've G1 which runs CM6

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgruet:
The 3GW service should automatically start on boot and run in the background. You still have to start the application via its app icon, notification icon, or widget to get to the main report page.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 090:
Hi all,

I tried to flash my TPro with Blackstone Radio 1.13.25.24 downloaded from Wiki-Raphael_ExtractedRadioRoms

After the update get to 100%, the phone gets stuck on tricolor flashing screen with a message "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again"

Please anybody have an idea what might go wrong, and how can I fix this?

Thanks a lot!

Update:

Look like I didn't do Security Unlocked before flashing!!! Damned stupid!! How can I fix this, anyone? Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
If a soft reset didn't fix it (sounds like it didn't), then you should flash a stock touch pro rom, preferably the one for your particular device. I don't really understand why anything happened if you weren't security unlocked. You should just be able to soft reset. Hopefully you already have hard spl.

The new raphael radios (1.14's) are pretty good, imo, are worth trying.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 090:
Thanks for the reply, Ted!

You are right, soft reset doesn't help.

I had HardSPL 1.90.OliNex so hopefully I still can fix my phone.

As I digging through XDA, I found one thread that I think it is relevant to my problem.

ttp://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1951338&postcount=11

In the thread, member dwny wrote

Sounds pretty much like my problem and possible solution. I think I will try it when I get home from work.

One thing I need to ask it, if my phone is stuck in BootLoader, will it be able to sync with the PC, and then got flashed?

Sorry if the question is stupid :confused:

Thanks a lot!

Update

And my TPro is safe and sound now! Here is how I did it:

1. Enter the bootloader mode

ttp://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Raphael_For_Beginners

2. Connect the phone with PC using USB

3. Flash the phone with the HTC ROM named RUU_Raphael_hTC_Asia_WWE_5.07.707.2_Radio_Signed_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship.exe. Based on suggestions of dwyn.

4. After flashing the phone was fully functional.

I flashed the phone again with Energy ROM-Titanium 07-Sept, and it works flawlessly. Cheers!

Thanks for the great knowledge-base of XDA community!:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
I'm not sure how i did it but earlier today i somehow was able to render my phone from using any data, such as browser or email (no it was not in airplane mode). even the 3g symbol next to the bars was gone. I actually liked the fact that data was turned off. However due to my curiosity, and to make sure my phone wasn't slightly jacked, i checked to see if a soft reset would turn the ability back on. it did. now i'm wondering has anyone experienced this, know how to recreate, or use any other methods to do this. i've tried things like apndroid but it didn't work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfbrainhunter9000:
Check out DCSwitch. I believe it does exactly what you're asking for.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etzarfat:
When I reboot my G1 (which runs CM6) or turning it off and then back on, the anysfot keyboard doesn't loaded at startup.

I have to go to setting and make sure the Anysoftkeyboard is checked so I could use.

Isn't there a way it will automatically loaded after rebooting the phone

I downloaed the keyboard from the market and also the Hebrew add-on.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kinesis:
i heard its impossible or difficult to hack usb tethering on the sprint epic 4g. i might refuse the new package and keep my touch pro 2 instead.

can anyone confirm if it can or cannot be done? obviously you can hack root on the device. what do?

OP note: found this http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php but is there a way through ipfw or linux hackery to do it free? Like on TP2 I just load MightyROM and it works .. no issues. No costs...

Here is a way to attach a keyboard if I need to get indepth with hacking this stupid feature to work. I pay for unlimited... this is nonsense. I was excited about this phone but if I can't tether that's wack...

http://jkontherun.com/2010/02/17/how-to-add-a-usb-keyboard-to-an-android-phone/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] petemills8:
Once it's rooted then you can install wireless tether. Don't know about the timetable for that though, I just rooted my Evo this morning.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ZeroBarrier:
No to sound like a prick, but regardless of the spirit of modifying/hacking our own devices to achieve more feature rich experiences; you should remember the moral side of this aspect.

I wish people didn't rant about this sort of stuff; I have no problem helping my fellow forum members achieve the features they seek, but when you rant like you just did, I'm forced to remind people like you that even if you do pay for unlimited data, you agreed to a contract that doesn't include unlimited data through tethering, only unlimited on your phone. No if's, and's or but's about it.

So please, next time, just keep that sort of opinion to yourself. People like me will help you out anyways. We don't need to know what side of the morality issue you are on.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jones79:
Your morality points have validity, but the moment Sprint decided to use the free open license Linux based OS on their smart phones and then CHARGE extras for features that technically are built into the OS they pretty much voided any right they had to restrict network access. The only option they have is to not support the hardware if you choose to modify it.

The whole point of Linux is open and free. If they wanted to enforce an extra charge on tethering they should have gone solely with Widows OS based smartphones.

Also being on a soapbox is just as bad as ranting in my book..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Geezer Squid:
He signed a contract. And the operating system they use on phones does not change the fact that they own the towers and the bandwidth. They can charge for it's use in any manner they choose. You don't have to sign the contract and use their product.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lexcell:
And we sure didn't sign to getting rammed up the rear an extra $10 for 4G when we paid for 4G when we buy the phone. It's like buying a car that has a V8 engine then getting charged an extra $1000 monthly because the car is able to go over 110 mPh and only so many other cars can. It's all un-moralistic in some ways and IN FACT a violation/breach of the contract that subscribers originally agreed to. Contracts bind both parties not only the disadvantaged! What about when we pay for service that's not delivered as promiosed, such as outages, bad coverage areas, slow data, etc... We can go on and on about morals.

By the way, why are you even on our forum standing on a soapbox for Sprint and such. You're a troll and if that's the case, every thread on this forum has some controversy that you seem to love debating. Im sure you don't own the network, nor are you the CEO, so what's the use of you making yourself look even more idiotic? Beat it scum!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirborna:
I had non working GPS (5 minute lock) / 4G (Scan forever even with other roms) / and USB connect not connecting on your computer I have a simple fix

Find this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773444

This is stock sprint rom with rooted

Use RAMON recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik/battery/screen rotation

Flash to stock sprint rom

After doing that my GPS locked before my google maps could even load correctly, my 4g connected immediately 12MBs speed test (Houston, Texas)

And my computer recognizes and actually doesn't drop my phone

:) It may not work for everybody but it definately works for me

After this I decide to flash to another rom. i don't like paying 10 bucks a month for 4G and not use it. Vaelrom ^^
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vboyz103:
Last time I checked, there is no 4g in CM6...did I miss something here?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdrjrh:
lol

So this activates 4g in cm6? which nightly!? :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
CM6 does not provide 4G at this time. nothing you can do to fix this unless you can code.

it's AmonRA (like the egyptian god) not RAMON (like noodle)

so basically the OP is giving you this suggestion..

1)

always

read the First Post for any ROM you want to play with.

...often common issues are listed there...or you can search the thread

2) do a nandroid

...dont forget to delete the old old nandroids...they do take up space

3) if you are having issues...do a full wipe and try a different ROM.

...because we all like a lil strange now and then

(ok..the first two suggestions are mine)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vballboarder:
And for all those who don't like their current ROM, I have a fix for that as well...

try a different ROM. It may not work for everyone because the new ROM may not be as cool the one you just had, but it worked for me. Problem solved!

Hi all,

When I put my phone into silent mode and turn it back to regular mode my apps still remain silent however the ring tones are still audible. The only way I can get sound back to my phone is by doing a hard restart. Does any one have a resolution to this? Non rooted.

Since you're not rooted its not easy telling whats causing this.

If you were rooted, it would be much easier.

Install audio manager or tone picker from the market .... any one of those will show you which sound profile is muted.,.,.,.,
[Vibrant General] Goog1e Phone:
I think it might be switch pro. I was having issues with switch pro too, and once I stopped using it, my problems went away.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
I had audio manager installed as well to make sure all the volume levels were set to max
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
I feel it started happening around the time I upgraded to a new version of switchpro. Going to look into it to see if it is the cause.

Found out the issue is indeed switch pro. Must kill task to gain media sound again.

No they aren't. I dont like theming icons since i cant make everyone happy. Someone always complains and wants a version without icons.

Made the slider icons lighter... i think they look much better now. As for nightlies, i have no plans to support them since they are nightly.

I might be able to get to the dialer next week... thanks for the support
