It sounds like you could have a short in your usb connector that makes your evo think it's going into a car dock. I'd fix the problem more than try to remove it. You may have to go to sprint for a fix, of course go to stock first.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omgz:
thats what i was trying to avoid. unrooting and going to stock. :( i guess thats my last option. i do want a new evo. lol

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanku7:
I bought a Sprint HTC Hero 200 from ebay. I tried to activate it to Sprint without data, but failed. Now, I want to activate the phone to Alltel, if possible. Is there any guy who knows how to do it?

Whenever I opened the Alltel website, it asked my zip (city). Once I entered my zip (columbus, oh), the web turns to Verizon web page automatically.

Please give me a tip or information to activate my phone to Alltel.

(Do I need to flash my phone with Alltel Rom? I have flashed my phone with CM6. Is it fine?)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teedo757:
Well it sounds like your phone has a bad ESN number. Good luck with that.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmwagner:
Sounds like the Alltel market in your area is already transitioned over to Verizon.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpyoKnig:
The phones having a BAD ESN with Sprint has no effect on using it with Verizon/Alltel as they have no way (other than calling Sprint and asking) to check to see if the ESN is bad... I have an Sprint HTC Hero that I'm using with PagePlus (Verizon MVNO, Activated no problem) just I don't have my data working (yet!)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanku7:
No, it's not a bad ESN. Please Do NOT judge people by your GUESS.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanku7:
How did you activate the sprint hero to PagePlus. My phone is not a BAD ESN. I just don't want to spend my money with data plan in Sprint. It's not worthy because I have wifi around me almost always. That's why I didn't activate the phone to Sprint.

Now, this is my question. could you tell me how to activate the sprint hero to PagePlus? I want to follow your step. I had tried it, but I didn't know how to program my phone for PagePlus. Please let me know. Thanks for your help.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpyoKnig:
thanku7 PM sent :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanku7:
Happy

I really appreciate you, TpyoKnig.

Now, FINALLY I activated my Sprint HTC Hero to PagePlus. I don't need to waste money for data plan (at least $30/mo). As TpyoKing helped me to activate it, let me post some information I have done for my Hero, in order to help those who want to activate Sprint HTC Hero to PagePlus. If you have any question, tell me. (I'm not a dealer for pageplus. so please don't give me any money.)

Here are what I've got. (I added my experience.)

1) thing you have to have is root for your phone, if you have that then great! Also you need to be running a NON-Froyo Rom (the froyo roms, I've tested thus far) are lacking EPST which will be used later to program the phone. --> My case, I installed NFX-Hero ROM. After I activated my phone to PagePlus, I'm running CM6 ROM. It works fine now.

2) Search the Market (Via WiFi) and download 'MSL reader'

3) Write down that MSL (will need it later)

4) reboot phone

5) download pageplus.prl from a web and put on root of SD card

6) on your phone pull up the dialer (hit the green button) and put in ##775# (##PRL#) and put in your MSL code you got earlier

7) select "update PRL", drop down "Folder" to "SD Card" and push down on your navigation ball and then long press the "menu" key to make your keyboard lower and select pageplus.prl then select "ok", then press your "menu" key and hit commit modification

8) phone will reboot (Congratulations you'r now on Verizon towers!)

9) Get PagePlus to activate phone (eg, contact a local dealer) , tell them you are manually programming a Sprint phone and give them the IMEI and that you need your MIN/MDN and SID. --> In my case, I purchased pageplus from Kittywireless.com. They promptly provide MIN/MDN and SID.

10) on your phone, pull up the dialer and dial ##YOUR6DIGITALMSL# , then select edit mode

11) change Mobile Directory Number (MDN=your new phone number from pageplus) to what is given to you by PP/dealer

12) change MSID to your MIN (Mobile Identification Number) as suplied by PP/Dealer

12) press menu

13) commit changes

I'm really happy.

It's 2 years late coming, but thank you for this information. I was able to help a friend to get his phone working on PagePlus. I got the PRL file from here.
[Fascinate General] kamileon:
Twice today my phone shut itself off. Full battery, have the case/holster combo from vzw. Thought maybe it was over heating and shutting itself off. Both times it has happen I had it in my holster. Is this happening to anyone else, any ideas?
[Fascinate General] frostman89:
You rooted? Do you have SetCPU installed along with profiles? That is the only thing that ever rebooted my phone, or more like crashed it.
[Fascinate General] kamileon:
Yea im rooted and have CWM installed. I did have hot root and setcpu installed, they were the last two things I installed before the problems so I uninstalled them and it still shutdown.
[Fascinate General] Epell:
I used to have that problem with setCPU also.

I don't know, it just went away after a day or so.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qendadar:
Android development section under evo heading. Tons of info. Be patient and read thoroughly...it can seem like a lot at first but the more you read the fewer problems you will have.

I am currently using fresh 3.2...and am constantly changing kernals to test them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender1077:
Read the MAJORITY of the Development forum!

Each ROM/KERNEL thread will have specific information on on the features/benefits of the dev's work on the first post.

When you find a ROM/KERNEL that appeals to you, read through that specific thread for any additional info you may want to know/didn't know you wanted to know.

There are a lot of choices for ROM - KERNEL combinations, so the best advice is to READ A TON and EXPERIMENT!

One last thing - NANDROID BACKUP before flashing any new kernel or ROM so you can get back to where you started from if anything goes wrong.

Hey Guys

got some problems with my galaxy s

tried to delete the contacts manualy and mixed up some stuff.

then i replaced /system/app/contacts with the one from the n1 from froyo

after this i did a hard reset and a cleared the cache.

now after reboot i got a lot of fcs and cant enter menu or anything, but i need to enable usb-debugging to come in to recovery mode or download mode since this phone has no 3 button recovery or download mode

does anyone has some sort of suggestion how to solve this problem?

greetz and thanks for every reply ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xan:

It had to be posted in android development section!

Tried adb in recovery?

And yes, this looks bad. Nothing comes into my mind... Is there a way to flash update.zip from external sd?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonas.M:

Yea i know that, thats how it works for now. but i do think Touchwiz Home isent off. it feels like i could just change between them easy (home switcher).

I think ADW.Launcher is on and Touchwiz is kinda in the background... using my memory! :(

I would like to get it replaced fully (NO TOUCHWIZ)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aldonski:
You can do this by rooting your phone and then using titanium backup to uninstall TWlauncher.

I don't think that when you use ADW , Touch wiz remains in the background.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajuki:
Yes, you are right. Even though Android system puts the inactive threads to sleep but they are still persistent in the memory. Getting rid of TW.Launcher will give you a bit more free memory but I don't see why it will change your battery backup performance. Unless you are using some funky add-on with ADW.Launcher which is running all the time in the background.

How is your battery backup without ADW.Launcher?

And yes, as Aldonski mentioned, get yourself rooted and get Titanium backup to remove TW.Launcher for good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jark99:

[Droid 2 Android Development] newk8600:
None so far all the Root explorers cost something. That's why I stick to my computer because I already paid for it. :)

It really isn't too difficult and once you develop an understanding of what you are doing you will gain the ability to troubleshoot on your own and create your own fixes or help others with rooting, or exploring new devices that come out.
[Droid 2 Android Development] drathx:
I just rooted my Droid2 (first timer) and yes you can change the file extensions manually to get rid of them. If you're rooted, you can use Terminal Emulator (free from Market). It's reversible. I just followed these directions: limitlessdroid.com/2010/08/28/rooting-101-bloatware/

Not messing around with it too much.. I only removed Blockbuster.apk.

U can also use titanium backup to remove stock apps. The free version allows u to remove any app providing that u are fully rooted.

i have looked and couldnt find a thread that matched my problem...i have a rooted mytouch 3G (32B) and i cannot get back into recovery. i am able to get into hboot and fastboot but thats it...and when i try to boot regularly the phone will either get stuck in a boot loop or if it does boot (which is rare) it will go to the android tutorial screen and ask for me to touch. at the tutorial screen there will be a whole bunch of error and force closes...before these problems i had used clockwork rec and tried to flash another recovery from rom manager but it would flash a new recovery...then the problems followed and i could no longer flash either clockwork or amon ra....please help if there is any :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Post your fastboot info. If your not locked with a perfected SPL you should be able to permanently flash a custom recovery and then flash a new ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
I would just apply SAPPIMG.nbh, then use flashrec.apk from 1.5 to flash amon_ra. Then flash whatever you want.

the phone is stuck in boot loop and doesnt get passed android tutorial (followed by various error/force close messages) even if it gets passed the boot screen...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Pull the battery and reinstall, and while the phone is OFF, hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN until you get to the update/bootloader screen. Not sure what it's called. From there you can apply SAPPIMG.nbh from your sd card.

Obviously you'll have to use an adapter to copy the file directly to your SD card without the use of the phone itself.

That will put everything back to oem, then you can use flashrec.apk to install amon_ra and go on your merry way. Try it before you insist it won't work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
If he can't get the regular ROM loaded up he's not going to be able to use flashrec. You need to flash an engineering SPL using the goldcard method and go the old school route of flashing a custom recovey, then flash a new ROM. I'm guessing you rooted before using Androot. When I get to a computer I'll link a proper guide to help you out. You can't get to recovery either (holding home and pressing power)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
You load SAPPIMG.nbh from the bootloader screen - you don't need a ROM at all.

Applying SAPPIMG returns the phone to 100% oem and should allow him to boot up again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Applying the stock sappimg will return his bootloader/radio back to stock, not the ROM. You have to run an RUU to get back to complete stock.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Gargon87:
ill try this...thank you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
You're welcome, let me know how it goes. :) You're basically unrooting, going back to cupcake, and then re-rooting, but at this point I think that's going to be LESS effort than everything else you could try, lol.
