[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkeee:
I got the phone today at RadioShack and the lady there did not have the ability to put the phone through with the old $25 G1 plan. I ended up calling Customer Loyalty (say Cancellations at the prompt) and so she put it through with the $30 plan and then they switched it back. The first CSR she spoke with said there was nothing they could do. But Customer Loyalty has access to the expired plans, so that's what they did.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timsuh:
I just upgraded to a G2 from a G1 (about 22 months into the original 24 month contract) at the T-Mobile store in Mountain View, CA (San Antonio shopping center - 510 Showers drive).

I was on the original $24.95 G1 data plan (unlimited data & 400 txts) and did not have to upgrade to the $30 plan; just extended the original plan by another 24 months.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xal33x:
If you don't text a lot, call customer loyalty (say cancel) and get the 24.99 plan with 400 text messages.

If you do text a lot, call customer loyalty and tell them you want the "preferred android web plan" and the $10 unlimited text. This is what I have right now...

Or you can get the preferred web plan + 5 dollars worth of text messages, but basically it'll come out to the same price either way.

NOTE VERY IMPORTANT: Don't waste your time calling a regular representative and asking to speak to a supervisor. They will stall, attempt to waste your time and if you tell them "I dont want to waste my time any more" they will either tell you the supervisor is on the phone and will give you a call back within 2 hours... or hang up on you. (or they the supervisor can actually call you back) Either way its more of a hassle than its worth. Calling customer loyalty will give you the quickest results I guarantee.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delahaya:
No need to change if on G1

I had the $31 unlimited G1 plus plan. It works fine for the G2. I also kept the unlimited loyalty rewards plan.

When I try to flash with Odin, as described in the "how to restore your epic to stock" thread, I get various errors. Here's what I get if I just try to flash the kernel:

And it freezes about 40% of the way through, while trying to flash factoryfs.rfs

I've tried different com ports, different computers, with the battery/SD card in and out, both the DI07 and DG27 stock roms, and a couple different kernels.

I've also tried just about every combination of odin options.

Any ideas? Pretty desperate here...
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
which odin are you using? i havent gotten the one with epic support to work at all. i have debug enabled and reboot option, piick the pit file, the stock dg27 in pda and modem.bin in phone, put my phone into download mode and then plug it in and i have no issues
[Epic 4G General] cornrow:
I've tried 1.0 (the one linked in that thread) and 1.3, the one that supposedly has epic support.

Where do you get modem.bin? I haven't tried that...

[Epic 4G General] rmartinez2:
What OS r u using? I had to right click run as admin to do the odin thing. Just a suggestion other then that maybe the download is bad or try the new tar file that someone put in this forum with the di07 update already on it

Regarding modem.bin, Quoted from: How to Return to Stock/Fix Bricked Epic thread, bottom of first post notes:

Also, I don't know if this helps, but if I repartition I can install the stock kernel, which boots to a Samsung screen, but doesn't go any farther. Is that useful?

I've tried that one as well, and am not using the samsung cable.

[Epic 4G General] raiderep:
Just wanted to echo this and add that I have flashed to stock over 20 times by now and the only thing I have checked on the left side of odin is auto-reboot. I have also not had any issues using the samsung cable but others seem to so YMMV. And PDA is the only place you should be putting the stock tar file.

[Epic 4G General] cornrow:
UPDATE:

The problems seem to be with recovery.bin and datafs.rfs. When I remove them from the tar, it flashes successfully and boots past the Galaxy S screen to a black screen.

What can I do from here? Why could it not write those two?

[Epic 4G General] rasstar:
I am having the exact same problem and I cannot find a solution.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Odin gets stuck alot,sometimes i need to flash my phone 5-10 times before progress bar in Odin doesn't get stuck.Just keep trying and disable USB Power Saving mode if using a laptop.

There is gotta be a trick to it,it might be that you need to start odin first and then connect the phone,or hold power and 1 buttons for few seconds after working android appears,i don't know if they really work but it don't hurt to try.
[Epic 4G General] rasstar:
It is bricked beyond repair. All I wanted to do was return to stock but instead got a bricked phone. When I get replaced I am not messing with this again because this is nothing like the Palm Pre with restore files provided by Palm.

The progress bar gets almost to the end then fails. I have been trying for the last 10 hours with no luck.
[Epic 4G General] JungleJiujitsu:
One thing the thread does not mention and that was preventing me from re-stocking my phone was checking the box next to the "PDA" button...Open Odin 1st, then boot your Epic into the Download screen, and then connect it to your PC. Once the "Com(#)" appears in the 1st box, you can now hit the "PIT" button to select the "s1_odin_20100512.pit" file. Next, PLACE A CHECK IN THE BOX next to the "PDA" button, then hit the "PDA" button to select the "SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar." After, on the left hand side under "Option," make sure only the "Auto Reboot" and "Debug En" boxes are selected. Hit start and it should go through
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I've flashed my Epic with odin numerous times without any issues. I've used both the newer version with Epic support, and the older one.

This is what works for me-

1.) Extract all the contents of the Odin archive to a folder.

2.) Run

Odin3 v1.3.exe

from the folder you extracted the files to.

3.) Check Auto Reboot (and nothing else). DeBug checkbox is not present on the newer version.

4.) Add the stock tar you wish to flash to PDA section.

5.) Turn off your Epic, then initiate Download Mode by holding 1 and Power keys.

6.) Connect your USB cable and wait until the port # shows up in the ID:COM Box of Odin.

7.) Now press the Start button on Odin and let it do it's thing. Should take a few minuets.

You should not need the PIT file unless you are flashing a single kernel or radio. However if your phone is screwed up from a bad flash or not following these directions properly, you can fix it by pulling the battery, putting it back in, and flashing the PIT file by itself with nothing in PDA or PHONE.

That's it. Always works for me.

If you can get into Download Mode, it's not bricked.
[Epic 4G General] rasstar:
Did all of that. It almost completes then fails. I have successfully done this before.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Remove the battery and re-insert it. Flash the PIT file by itself then start over.
[Epic 4G General] rasstar:
Also did that. The pit file flashes but when i try to flash the recovery it fails close to the end.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Does it reboot after flashing the PIT file?

Also, which file are you trying to flash to the PDA section? You might want to re-download it. It could be corrupt.
[Epic 4G General] rasstar:
It rebooted after flashing the pit file. I am trying to flash the complete recovery and it is not corrupt because it worked before and I have downloaded it on multiple computers. It always fails close to the end.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
That's the old version of odin. Which tar file are you trying to flash?
[Epic 4G General] rasstar:
I have tried another version I found 1.3 and tried flashing stock D27 and D107.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Are you flashing it in the PDA section with nothing in phone or PIT?
[Epic 4G General] rasstar:
I am using the PDA option with no Pit. PDA with Pit and they all fail just like the OP. Phone boots to a black screen.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
When you flash the pit by itself, does it boot to a black screen?
[Epic 4G General] rasstar:
Yes it does.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Try flashing pit and stock kernel(not the rom just kernel) first and see if it flashes,if it does then do pit plus stock rom.
[Epic 4G General] rasstar:
I have already tried all of that. The stock rom just wouldn't complete. It always fails at the same point and it is not the file because I have downloaded it from multiple sources and tried D27 and D107 with the same results.

Is there any other rom I can try flashing?

If I can't get it working I will have to head over to radio shack to get it replaced.
[Epic 4G General] drunix:
Are you restarting odin betwwen each attempt? Als don't plug in the phone until odin is running. I had these problems but eventually it worked once. Also try rebooting you machine or flashing from a different one.
[Epic 4G General] rasstar:
I already did all of that.
[Epic 4G General] excalis:
Damn I am in the same situation, all I get now is the Phone and Computer error screen with the exclamation mark.

Called Best Buy and it is after the 30 days so it will need to go to Samsung, I need to get this fixed ASAP, I do not want to send the phone off.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreyS87:
I have a trouble using my HTC Desire with my car Hands Free Kit. The car kit is Motorola T605. A2DP streaming and outgoing calls work perfectly but every time there is an incoming call it is not routed to the hands free. The ROM I am using is a rooted 2.2 stock ROM.

While searching through this and other forums I found out that De-Frost ROM solves this issue. I believe it is because De-Frost include N1 bluetooth stack instead of HTC's but, no sense means no FM Radio which is really important for me.

Does anyone know a solution for this issue that allows using a sense enabled ROM?

NOTE; This thread is not about SOD on Android. It presents the fact that it maybe something else that also effects WinMo .

Press the power button and the button light display and thats it.

Waiting waiting.

pull battery and restart

I have also just now started getting SOD in Android. Never had it for the last month and they both seem related.

Never recieved SOD on my phone, only once. That was in mDeejays Evo Sense build. Surprised me becuase its the most stable android build I used, but I believe its more of a wifi/ and or g-sensor bug.

I expect right section. Its an FYI for Dev's.

The issue might be related to something other than the kernel. Eg Haret might be setting a state which even windows does not like.

This tutorial from tws101 worked for me (I can't post a link as a new user):

"This guide will allow you to install the new OTA 3.29.651.5 when you have clockwork installed and will guide you into re-rooting the phone afterwards. (This does NOT wipe your data)

I am sorry if someone already posted this.

Requirements

1. Froyo 2.2 version 3.26.651.6 (Stock)

2. Clockwork

3. S-OFF

Files to Download (If you have a file manager on your phone you can just direct download them with the EVOs browser)

1. OTA_Supersonic_3.29.651.5 This is the new OTA update

2. ClockworkMod recovery for EVO 4G Clockwork (I know you already have it. This is to reinstall it)

3. su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip Superuser (This is also to reinstall)

Step one

Place OTA_Supersonic_3.29.651.5 on your SD cards root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. Once the bootloader is up goto recovery so clockwork loads up. Choose apply zip from sd card. Choose select zip on sd card. You will see the OTA file on the list flash it. Just wait for it to install it will reboot the phone show a progress bar reboot again they show a percentage etc it takes a few minutes.

Now you have the update installed, but the update removed clockwork and root.

Step two

Place ClockworkMod recovery for EVO 4G on your sd card root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. The bootloader will scan the new will and ask you to press Volume up to install. Install it.

Now you have clockwork installed again. Please remove the clockwork file from the root of your SD card before going to step 3.

Step Three

Place su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip on the SD cards root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. Once the bootloader is up goto recovery so clockwork loads up. Choose apply zip from sd card. Choose select zip on sd card. You will see the SU file on the list flash it.

Now you are updated and rerooted. (I have been told it is possible to just rerun unrevoked instead of doing step 2 and 3. I did not test that method. I am simply showing a different method.)

Update

I am now getting 53 FPS with FPS 2D"

You dont take updates once you are rooted, just flash a rooted ROM
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayStation3:
First of all - Once you have rooted your phone - NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER do an OTA update from sprint............

Not sure what your software version is or your hBoot, but if you have 2.02 hboot and 3.30 software, then you can do it the way I did...

having said that - You have not lost root, S-Off = Root, you just lost your recovery... all you need to do is flash a new custom recovery. I use Amon_Ra, but clockwork will work as well... what ever your preferance is...

I cant find the amon_ra that I used, so here is the new CW (attachment 1) - download it - rename it to just (all CAPS except extention!!) "PC36IMG.zip" - Then save it to the root of your SD card. Also save attachment 2 to the root of your SD card.

Boot into hBoot, it will scan the SD card for the PC36IMG.zip - when it asks to do update - click yes... After update completes it will ask to reboot - click NO, then scroll down to flash the superuser app (2nd attachment), I forget what exactly it says but its some thing like "flash from SDcard" or some thing like that...

after you flash the SU.apk, then reboot and if all is good - download ROM manger and flash the Amon_Ra recovery (3rd attachment) and make a NAND backup with Amon_Ra first - cause I'll be honest - I used the CWmod first and I had a bunch of Force Close issues after I did a NAND backup with CW...

Good luck!
