[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruggar:
ShadowROM is an AOSP ROM. I do not believe the HTC mail program will work as there is no Sense in ShadowROM.

There are several kinds of ROMs for the Incredible. HTC Sense based ones. HTC Vanilla ROMs which are ROMs that have most of the extra bloat removed but still have the underslying Sense dependencies (SkyRaider Vanilla is an example). Finally, AOSP ROMs which are Android Open Source Platform ROMs. These are what the phone manufacturers get from Google and embed their interfaces/applications/tweak in to. HTC has Sense. Motorola has Blur. These are all based on AOSP. It is one of the reasons internal storage was broken for a while on ShadowROM and Cyanogen. Why? Because Google doesn't program for every phone and every phone doesn't have it so the AOSP didn't support it. It's a vendor added feature. Likewise a Sense kernel typically does not work with an AOSP ROM as well.

[Epic 4G General] Tgrable:
Well I doubt it seeing as sprint said they are having a issue getting it to google for distribution..

So that is their way of saying, we are sorry but no update and we have no ETA of when we will get it out. They are just pointing the finger at google, the same crap they always try to do.. Its never their fault, just everyone elses.
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
See here ... you can update it manually if you wish and there are screenshots / results being posted there already.

Tgrable, many people are seeing the OTA update now.
[Epic 4G General] Dameon87:
I think this update may have very well fixed a problem with the radio trying to find signal on Sprint towers vs roaming. I usually have to use roam control at home, but after a FULL stock restore, and installing this update; It just stays on roaming.

Too early to tell all what is fixed/if battery life is better. But hopefully it helps. I'll check 3G upload when I get in town later.

Though oddly, it seems to have killed clockwork.

If you get the same result; just re-do Clockwork via noobnl's method; works fine. Getting ready to test a custom kernel to make sure it didn't break anything.

(UPDATE)

Flashing the mixup kernel worked just fine. No problems I can see so far; so it looks like we are OK.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
So guess what, to all the people who say upload doesn't matter.

My google maps took forever to load - i have traffic and satellite images enabled.

After this update, they are INSTANT. I tried it right before the update and they were their usual slow selves. NOW wherever I scroll it's instantly up.

Now sure you are saying "well they fixed the download too" however my download speeds haven't really increased. Just wanted to point out UPLOAD SPEED matters too!
[Epic 4G General] Dameon87:
I honestly think they just did some tweaks to the 3G radio drivers all together. Upload wouldn't affect what you are talking about, as that is ALL downloaded. Upload is only content coming FROM your phone pushed to the web.

But yeah, overall it seems ALOT better. I think there were more bugs in the 3G radio than we realized. Hopefully everyone gets a good experience.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Sure it would. Google Maps is a highly interactive app, constantly sending requests up to Google's map servers to retrieve map tiles for different areas and zoom levels, then displaying them.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
It's funny how most people really don't understand that upload MATTERS.

A few days in a row here at my house I had 30mb down but my upload was only 128k - you wouldn't believe how horrible my basic browsing experience was.

Tech came, swapped modems, my upload went back to normal (5mb) and I could thankfully browse the web again!

While cruising google maps upload is absolutely important!!
[Epic 4G General] spongaweb:
Can actually get 1 bar of 4g at my house where I never could and gained a 3rd 3g bar in my room where I have always had 2 or less. More testing needed but seems alright
[Epic 4G General] ajac:
update is on hold for right now
[Epic 4G General] GlassGorilla:
What? .
[Epic 4G General] zulubushi:
3G > Upload speeds increased. I'm getting up to 450kbps ^

Conversely, DL speeds seem to have decreased, but just a bit (though I haven't yet run enough tests to completely confirm this)

4G > After the updated, I've definitely seen an increase in DL speeds. I was maxing at around 7.9Mbps and now it's closer to 9Mbps. I am in Cali where they're still working on the network so this increase may not have been due to the update.

Major downer....I wasn't having all the GPS issues I've heard others having. My device would lock within 15 seconds and sometimes faster. Since doing the update I can't get a lock at all. :mad:
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
My downloads have been horrible since the update on 3g. :(
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
I'm still capped. I guess I have to revert to stock and try it.
[Epic 4G General] spongaweb:
With 4g now working at home where I sit in my laziest position, I did a speed test

4G On

Download: 3649

Upload: 1148
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
those are still pretty lame 4g speeds...right?
[Epic 4G General] zulubushi:
Ok, some weirdness. Downloaded GPS Test from AppBrain and all is well now. Don't know what changed, but I'm seeing 8 Satellites and locking on 7. My accuracy is 98.4 feet (30 meters in Google Maps). My SNR is in the high 20's. Seems to lock pretty quickly now (almost instantly) in Google Maps.

Where I'm at (I'm at work now as opposed to home where I was testing earlier) I'm getting close to 2Mbps on 3G down.

All in all, it WOULD appear that this update was good for my stock device.
[Epic 4G General] spongaweb:
kbps....

But yeah they are weak but with only one bar barely hanging on, but never had 4G spillover this strong before

3G on with new extra 3rd bar

Download: 1101

Upload: 510

What sucks is they no longer give out the air raves(name) for free and have to pay that puto ass fee to rent it every month.

Get this... they ended the free air raves if you had terrible signal about 3 weeks ago and I called about three days after it ended when they gave me the bad news.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Well I didn't have to go to complete stock, just stock kernel then just root it. I'll guess we need to wait for the custom kernels to incorporate this new patches stuff.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
You can tell from where the updated kernal was applied. :)

Now getting average of 600-800kbps upload! :D​
[Touch Diamond CDMA] madsp33d:
For some reason within the past month my wifirouter software isn't working anymore. It says it's connected but when i try to connect my laptop it connect but has no internet signal. Does anyone know what is going on? Is sprint stopping me from tethering my laptop to my phone? Sometimes i will get "a remote connection has ended your session" message.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjizaqin:
I got a friends hd2 several days ago and it was stuck on the White splash screen and wouldn't go further.

I tried Hard reset with keys and it didn't helped to get past that screen.

So i decided to flash a new ROM.

First I installed 1.42.HSPL on it to make myself safe and tried to install WWE version but failed at 9 %.

After this i tried near all the steps from another thread on the forum, the one of italian guy who tried almost everything.

Strange thing is that after trying several roms and failing all the times at 9 %, the phone once booted into windows, and i got this information from it:

Radio 2.05.51.05_2

G 15.28.50.07U

Rom 1.48.406.1 (71294) FRE

But after powering it off it didn't boot up another time.

Also there was a small damage on one of the battery pins but I think i managed to get it soldered from outside with soldering iron.

I also tried with MTTY and it didn't work either.

I got the official rom 1.48.406.1 FRE (because this phone is from swiss operator in french language) but it doesn't flash it goes to 9 % and gives error 290.

Ok, i started the thread because I actually wante to ask the question, why i'm unable to get into the Flash process from SD Card.

I formatted SD and copied the LEOIMG.nbh from official ROM and other ROM's too but when i press Reset and hold volume Down key sometimes nothing happens screen is black, sometimes im going into Bootloader with Serial shown and this text:

"Upgrade ROM code error. Please try again" and in the top right corner its written RUUNBH.

Anyone has any idea what could be problem of this device?

Btw I own LEO too and i never faced any problem till now, it was originally in German Language and i flashed it to WWE and didn't get any problems like this one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaponiND:
Not sure if this is the problem, but what size is your SD card? I've heard, that sometimes is impossible to flash from larger cards, safest way is to use cards up to 2GB...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjizaqin:
Actually the sd is original 2gb that comes with hd2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mladen.p:
Friend, try to flash hspl 2.08 !!

Most likely that is the problem.

Enter the bootloader and connect it via usb to your usb and install 2.08 hspl (search fo it on xda developer forum)

Before instaling it read the instruction so that you know that hspl 2.08 can be installed over the old version of hspl that you installed!!

Oh and update radio to atleast 2.07

2.14 is very good

PS

Did you perform task29 before flashing?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjizaqin:
I guess I should try to install 2.08 HSPL, do you think i can use the same HSPL installer and just install 2.08 hspl from it? Because i already tried 1.66.HSPL but didn't worked.

And yes i performed task29 two or three times it finishes with some known output message which is stated on the original MTTY thread to be ignored.

Any other ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zengxisheng:
you have to flash the HSPL back to 1.42 0000 ,then update the HSPL to 2.08 HSPL directly. if you flash it from 1.66. it can not work..pls be noted. good luck to you .hope you leo can be used again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjizaqin:
Ok I installed 2.08.HSPL from 1.42.HSPL and it went successfully, now i see 2.08.HSPL on bootloader but it still fails to update ROM. Stops at 8 % on the phone with rectangle mark, and on the pc it stops at 9 %.

I get Error 290 - Unknown Command

But why i cant go into sd card flash screen when i press reset and volume down ?

I just used another 2 gb microSD and added LEOIMG.nbh from official FRE ROM and it doesnt work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ce3c:
Hey bud,

I was having the same problem: the flashing didn't want to start by doing a reset+vol.down. I somehow got around this by putting the leoimg.nbh on my mircoSD card, and then started the flashing from my computer by running the .exe that contains the RUU (for ActiveSync flashing). This "magically" triggered the flashing from the mircoSD card (it showed me a screen whether i wanted to update leoimg.nbh). On this screen, pressing vol.down would start the flashing through ActiveSync, and pressing the power button would start the flashing from leoimg.nbh from your microSD card. In the last case, the update on your computer will stall at 0%, this is just because you're not running the update from your computer, but from your phone. On your computer it will time-out, but the update on your phone will continue!

I hope this works! But you're doing this on your own responsibility ;p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjizaqin:
Hmmm this kinda messed me up.

What EXE file you run on the pc so it triggered update from SD ?

Because it's upossible to connect with activesync and browse to sd without the phone being fully operational (winmo running).

So i would say maby you just got it somehow with key kombination, because it would be impossible to run it the way you say. Or maby i'm wrong.

Could you be more specific about how you exactly run that process?

Thanks for your kind help. Gjizaqin
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ce3c:
Well, whatever ROM you want to flash,

when you download this ROM, the .nbh file is packed in a .exe file.

You transfer the .nbh file to your microSD (rename to leoimg.nbh), and you can run the .exe file to flash through ActiveSync.

For me it was possible: reset your phone with the volume button down, to get to the tri-color screen. It shows "serial" on it. When you then connect your phone using your USB cable, it should switch to "USB", after which you can run the ActiveSync flashing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjizaqin:
Whell, by doing this procedure your doing normal ROM Update, and it's not doing update from sd card.

Anyways i tried this way too but not successful, its stuck on 8 % and stay's that way for about 3 minutes, than it gives me error 362 on the loader.

Anyways thanks for your help mate.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjizaqin:
Anyone with experience can give me advice what to do with this phone?

Thanks in advance.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordy1990:
This might be just a little bit off topic, but does anybody know how it is possible that some SD cards are good for flashing ROM's and other (mostly the larger) aren't?

Do you also need to copy the folder "program files" from the SD card you've flashed the ROM with to the other SD card, when you'd like to use this for your device?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
There has been reported problems with some 16GBmSD cards when it comes to flashing from them.

The only thing you need on the mSD card is the LEOIMG.nbh file.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
If you boot up your phone to Bootloader mode (but not connected to the computer), the bottom of the screen reads 'Serial'. If you now plug it into the computer, does it change to 'USB'?

Your computer error message is just saying that the computer cannot install a driver to communicate properly with your phone. Since your phone isn't fully loaded into WinMo then your computer isn't going to recognise it as a WinMo device. So don't worry about that message.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whizzkid_cool:
I guess this problem happen to some of the flash addicts! Problem still unsolved... :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eghoti1:
Same thing is happening with me right now, Can't flash from RUU- radio gets to 8%, ROMs to 1% and Task 29 got to 96% and stopped. Flashing from microsd gives me the RSA Fail message. Trying to recover using MTTY right now but running into command problem. My phone goes into Bootloader fine and is recognized by USB in bootloader, but any type of flashing is a no go.

Has anyone been able to enable tv out on the epic 4G like the other galaxy s phones have?
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
I hear you. I bought the Nokia cable before I found out TV out was missing from the menu. Doesn't any of these ROMs bring it back. I have yet to flash but I was going to do

Tayutama 1.1 w/ Voodoo Lag fix Beta 4
[Epic 4G General] mormegil83:
Bump. Anyone?
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
There is another thread about this I found. Search for it. Anyway, it seems that the issue is Touchwiz 2.5. SO...we have to wait until Froyo comes out with TW3.0 and THEN see if the TV out is available. All of the other SGS phones that have it are TW 3.0.

But I'm with you man.
[Epic 4G General] vansmack:
This is partially true, but not totally true.

When people talk about TV out, it's helpful if they define how they wish to get TV out.

All four US Galaxy S series phones support DLNA, which is why Samsung claims TV out features for their phones. But that's now what most folks would consider TV out...

Only the GSM phones have TV out via the 3.5mm output.

So to say that this is a TW 3.0 issue, would be inaccurate. The Fascinate has TW3.0 and does not support TV out via the 3.5mm port. I read a post somewhere that described the CDMA chip not being able to work with the 3.5mm out port, but I haven't been able to find it. I thought it was BS at the time so I ignored it, but now that the Fascinate is out and the 3.5mm port does not support TV out, I'm trying desperately to find it to double check the specs.

That leaves TV out via the microUSB port. Samsung's website was offering (they still might be) an HDMI cable that worked via the microUSB port and specifically listed the Galaxy S series (including the Fascinate, Captivate, Vibrant and Epic by name) however, nobody has been able to get it to work.

And thuse we're left with the speculation that TV out via the MicroUSB might be a Froyo addition, but not necessarily something that might be part of TW3.0 independently.
[Epic 4G General] vansmack:
I found the post. Here you go:

[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
WTF! Are you kidding me? This is absolutely terrible news. I'm really disappointing if this is true.
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
Why are people so mad about this? No one ever said it would have tv out via cable only through dlna.
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
Because composite out allows anything on the screen to appear on tv.....any tv. Every tv has rca's. Not every one has hdmi. And I don't want hdcp and hdmi drm restrictions. Good enough reason?
[Epic 4G General] kennethlongshaw:
I'm sad and my dreams are dashed.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Because you cannot share your self-recorded Movies through every DLNA device. PS3 and the Xbox both do not support our 3gp HD movie format.

I would like to visit my mother's house and be able to plug into her TV and show her the recordings of her granddaughters and other self-recorded video but I will be unable to do so without expensive extra hardware.
[Epic 4G General] vansmack:
Well, don't shoot the messenger - I simply pay attention.

And second, RCA jacks are so 1990's I don't really care if they don't support them. This is a top of the line phone, so I'm glad if they sacrificed somewhere that they sacrificed 1990s technology.

That being said, don't give me HDMI out with the Froyo update and, well I'll have a CDMI issue. Good thing I'm on Sprint with 4G and not Verizon where I'd be really screwed. No 4G, no TV out, nothing to justify my costs, really...
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
Don't give up till froyo is out.
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
I understand. But this phone never said it would have a tv out.
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
Look man. No other phone said they would hace tv out via 3.5 jack, but they do. What are you doing here anyway?

[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
Just trying to understand this thread. Before this phone came out a lot of threads were talking about the fact the phone had no tv-out. Many said that was a deal breaker. I get that. Everyone know weeks before the phone came out it had no tv-out. I just understand the "tv-out" threads. Sorry
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
Well, I agree that people shouldn't be upset if it ISN'T there. However, if people are mearly asking for alternatives/workarounds, or possibly finding unadvertised features (ie 3.5 jack on gsm models) I believe that's exactly what this forum is for. However I also believe people should not be starting a ton of threads. Search for those that exist, and continue that thread (or make this one 'the thread')
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Hmm gotta find it cheaper somewhere.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
yes my dreams are killed cuz i bought a phone for tv out o no......
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
Sure. Fair enough. There are at least 3 major threads about this around besides here. There are a bunch of us that really want this. I even have some games (ex. Angry birds) that my friends and I would like to enjoy together on a tv screen. Tv out via 3.5 jack would allow this as well as anything you see on your screen. Pics, games, vids apps. Whatever. It would be very cool to ge what Captivate owners and others already have. Of course gamegripper would be nice for emulators that I could then display on my TV too. Lots a reasons.

I am having trouble text messaging my mom because the phone is adding +1 to the beginning of her phone number. The text message never goes thru. When I send the text message by typing in the number it sends fine.the problem is only when I select the contact from list. The contact list does not have the +1 in it so I don't know where it is coming from
[Fascinate General] zetas:
Yea, i actually sat on the phone with verizon tech support for 2+ hours while they debugged this issue, turns out for some reason the +1 breaks it.. they never gave me an explanation, only a fix. Take the +1 out of the contact and make sure its saved and synced, you also need to nuke your message history after making the change or new messages will still have the +1 in front of them.

[Fascinate General] betcmrekoapl:
I had the same issue and was waiting for someone else to have this problem too. Removing the +1 on your phone contacts won't sync it completely it seems so once google syncs on your phone again the +1 will return. So what I ended up having to do is going on gmail on my pc and deleting all the +1 contacts in there. That did the trick right away. Hope this helps

I tried clearing my contact and messaging data and now I lost all my contacts and I can't re sync then from facebook or google
