What exactly is "loose" on the phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aj74:
The "old" phone after the fresh rom update somehow lost its RSA authentication keys so

I was never able to connect - authenticate with sprint again for 4G connectivity.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooter185:
when you make a nand backup using amon ra 1.8.0 it will save a wimax.img, this should keep your keys intact so if you lose them again flashing this file should restore them
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnathan9:
After rooting your EVO, flash Amon Ra's custom recovery 1.8 and make a NAND back up.

The NAND copy an image of your rom+wimax partition will retain most everything.

If you ever run into a problem like losing your rsa keys for w/e reason then you can NAND back to the copied image.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aj74:
So the correct sequence will be:

1. Root the phone

2. Flash Amon Ra's custom recovery 1.8 and make a NAND back up.

3. Install custom rom.

Am I correct ?

PS: By the way, which rooting process would you use for a stock EVO that already came with 2.2 ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] envoykrawkwarrior7:
youre also going to want to keep a copy of that first nand on your computer or somewhere super safe so you never lose your backed up keys

you can use unrevoked 3.21 and you can set it to install amon ra as it roots and s-off your phone, i just went through exactly the same thing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aj74:
Thanks for the help !

I just installed Unrevoked - smooth ride-

Installeld Rom Manager (Clockwork) and used it to install AR 1.8 Recovery

Doing my first Nandroid backup now.

After that, I will give Fresh 3.3.1 a try.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aj74:
Awesome!!!!

Everything worked :)

ROM installed, I already had the latest radio and wimax on the phone when it arrived...and guess what...I am posting this while waiting on my car at the wash...over 4G!!!!!

Thanks for all the help !!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debugguy:
Assuming RSA Private Keys are stored in the wimax.img (from nanadroid backup), use ARMON RA to backup your keys, ClockWorkMod does NOT backup wimax.img.

Now, best advice, DONT DO THE SAME THING, i.e., do not flash radio, wimax, nv, etc., until we ALL have a better idea of the pro/cons. Albeit the cons are plenty at this point. Root/Nand-unlock, flash away, Roms, Themes, whatever else but these.

Also, don't just do a nandroid-backup, turn right around and do a nandroid-restore, make friggin sure your backup is good BEFORE you need it.

EVO on...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aj74:
Thanks for the advice, ....and I did.

After installing clockwork/ Rom Manager the first thing I did was to set it to install

AR 1.8 as alternative recovery and immediately tested it and did a full nandroid backup.

I checked the backup and the wimax.img is there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bboy_201:

So I've only had the phone a few weeks and I've been like uber ocd with it but still managed to scratch the screen somehow, now since I'm only one month into the 20ish that I'll have the phone I want to exchange it at att for a new one. Any ideas of a reason in could use to tell them?
[Captivate General] lempfla:
Yep

Tell them the GPS doesn't work or that it continues to shut off even after the update. They should take care of it.
[Captivate General] Gerle:
Integrity check.
[Captivate General] micro2112:
whats that mean?
[Captivate General] z28james:
You tell us. Any reason why you would want to exchange it other than something you are responsible for? If yes, use that reason. If no, go buy a screen protector and stop trying to rip off AT&T.
[Captivate General] Gerle:
I'm not surprised you don't know what it means. It's a check to see if you have integrity, it certainly appears you don't. Integrity deals with honesty, trustworthiness etc.
[Captivate General] xtremekilla09:
I guess only AT&T is allowed to rip people off.

Charging $15/month for 200 mb - what a rip off.
[Captivate General] micro2112:
Right bc it costs them so much to send them to be refurbed and sell them again later.

and sorry for thinking i would be safe w/o a protector on a phone with gorilla glass, my iphone didnt scratch for 2 years and i abused that.
[Captivate General] Roxy:
AT&T rips us off... why cant customers rip them off, too?

( LOL )
[Captivate General] The Bishop:
don't hate the player, hate the game!
[Captivate General] vietn95:
i don't see anything wrong w/ him exchanging it as long as within the 30 days

It was advertised that it has gorilla glass and it got scratch so that's a legitimate reason for the exchange.
[Captivate General] The Bishop:
...

... stupid Chrome Browser. disregard.
[Captivate General] Gerle:
You sign the contact, if at&t follow the contract how are they ripping us off? Charging through the noise for tethering etc, not their fault if you let them do it. Gorilla glass is not unscratchable, just harder than some other screens. Why do I have to indirectly support your carelessness, the increased cost because of your exchange will have to be paid by all of us. It might seem like such a small deal but it is indicative of a much bigger problem, the mentality that nothing is ever our own fault and someone else should fix it.
[Captivate General] Colton5419:
One scratch is nothing to worry about buddy :D Try putting an invisible shield or gadget guard film cover on the screen and maybe the scratch will become unnoticeable!

Plus will prevent future scratches, and get a TPU case!
[Captivate General] z28james:
AT&T sees a problem with it:

"Returned equipment must be in the manufacturer's original packaging and be in like-new condition (no physical or water damage)."

I'd say a scratch is considered physical damage.

AT&T does say that if a phone does not "meet your expectations" that you can RETURN it although how do you build a case with them using that as your basis and expect them to provide to you back the same phone you claim you are not satisfied with?

If you want AT&T to protect your phone from your own actions, pay the $4.99 a month and the $125 which allows you to exchange your phone no questions asked.
[Captivate General] Colton5419:
Your most cost effective, and legal option is to sell your device on eBay as

"Like-New"; be sure to mention that it is near mint condition with only one very small scratch on the screen.

You will be able to sell that one, and then buy another one NEW on eBay for probably only $50 difference (or less).

Sell at about $375 and then buy for $400 even.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I don't remember reading anywhere that AT&T was forcing people to sign up and demanding their money......

No one forced you to get an AT&T phone or a Smartphone. You could have shopped elsewhere. The data plans are not hidden from view and then you are surprised after the contract is signed.

Paying 2 times as much for 10 times the data is a better deal, so take the better deal.
[Captivate General] Colton5419:
I would never buy the 200mb data plan. You would blow through that in a week.

With the 2GB data plan you can feel rest assured because if you DO go over that, it's only like an addition ten per GB. So you won't be raped with data overages.
[Captivate General] tbong777:
Have to agree...Someone screws up their device and wants ATT to take responsibility for it..... Not cool at all...INTEGRITY is a good thing, It's like people who won't pay for Apps and are always looking for patched free SW and expect developers to continue providing applications and SW for computers and phones...

I would guess ATT will replace the phone with someone else's headache refurb anyway.

Then a again I am not as anal as most people. I don't use covers or wraps.I like the SLIM body and it slips easily into a packet. Screen protectors are a must because I carry keys and crap in my pockets.

BTW My wife who is anal about her stuff doesn't like the Captivate, Too complicated and too many features. She wants my old N97 so I may sell her week old phone or keep it as a back up.
[Captivate General] xtremekilla09:
LOL, my beef is not pertaining to shopping with at&t or any other provider.

How can you justify charging $15 for 200mb and $25 for 2GB.

I can only get at&t due to my family plan (rest assured I will be taking my business elsewhere soon).

I never need to use a data plan, I always have wifi. So, why is the data plan being shoved down my throat.

I always thought having more options was the better way.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
This thread proves how immature some of the posters are on this thread. Let the guy do whatever he wants. It is his phone so who gives a ****. If I want to exchange my phone because the screen got scratched who are you to say I have no integrity? If Samsung had any integrity they would refund me my money and give a phone that actually works as advertised. All of us have a valid reason to take this phone back which is the GPS so just pretend thats what this guy is doing then you can sleep comfortably at night.
[Captivate General] Gerle:
He clearly stated he wanted to exchange it because of the scratch, not because of the broken GPS, Abe.

"Immature", "sleep comfortably at night". Funny guy.
[Captivate General] z28james:
There, fixed that for you.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
If the phone doesn't work as advertised, don't complain take it back to where you got it. It is no different then any other product. If the store won't refund your money, then take it up with the credit card company. Didn't use a credit card? Then small claims court.

The immature attitude is the idea "they did something to me, so i will do something to them".

If you return something that YOU damage and try to cover for it by coming up with a warranty issue that never bothered you, then you have NO integrity. You are lying to cover up your blunder. You can rationalize it any way you see fit, but it doesn't change the facts.

I guess we can all see the maturity level of the people that advocate "2 wrongs make a right".
[Captivate General] Kubernetes:
He came to a public message board asking for advice on how to rip off AT&T. He injected himself into the public discourse.

It's a message board. We can say what we want. With anonymity. So yeah, I would say you have no integrity. Next.

Why didn't you take it back to AT&T once you realized the GPS doesn't work? You stuck with a defective phone and now you want to complain? Besides, the guy in the OP isn't complaining about his GPS; he scratched the screen and, like a bratty toddler, wants a new phone.
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
Why ask in a forum to begin with?

If your within your thirty it isn't a a question of integrity, it's your right to refund or exchange within that time.

But you might get a bunk phone when you exchange it :-)
[Captivate General] abezapata:
Hey I kept the phone because I love it. :D

I just dont think we should judge people on these forums. Thats all I have to say.
[Captivate General] itsjustaphone:
Ignorance is abundant and integrity is all but extinct. OP, if you are old enough to vote, please don't!
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
I don't think anyone would judge if the OP stated his phone was junk. This all comes down to his screen getting scratched which is not up to ATT to resolve. It is clearly his fault that his screen became scratched. This is a thread that never should have been created.
[Captivate General] ceye:
scratch on screen

For one, I agree with some of the people on here that this thread probablly should have never been started. However, for some reason I fealt compelled to make a comment about it because I am a store manager for AT&T in Jacksonville, FL.

I (and I've trained all my associates, and observed them do it) tell all customers about the 30 day return policy. I also point out that the phone must be free of physical defects, and they need to return the phone, box and all items in the box.

The reason this is done is because poor little private dealers like my store will not receive credit and reimbursement for the device if any of these conditions are not met. We actually pay for the devices, put them in our inventory...then when we sell the device we are paid after selling the device. So if we are not reimbursed for a device we originally paid for, we are losing a lot of money.

Therefore, that being the case, at my store at least we ensure that we inspect each device for physical damange as well as check the water damage indicators.
[Captivate General] iamamp3pimp:
does that also apply to product exchanges?

I'm asking out of my own curiosity, i have a scratch on my screen as well, and i have no plans of returning my phone because of damage that i caused.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I don't think this person works for a corporate store. At first he says he is an AT&T store manager, then he says "because poor little private dealers like my store will not receive credit".

Corporate stores don't pay for inventory.

Most product exchanges, they replace the phone, but not all the goodies - so if you bring in your phone, they take a new one of the box, and put the old one in. So the new box has all the proper contents - just not the new phone. If you are returning, then you need to bring everything back.

As for condition. The big carriers won't refuse an exchange for normal wear and tear - as long as the wear and tear didn't cause the problem. It is hard to exchange for faulty GPS if you have a cracked screen. If the water indicators are tripped, forget it. Then it is almost impossible to get an exchange.

Its unnecessary. Free memory is only needed when absolutely needed and background apps are killed. Wont have any big effect on performance if any.
[Captivate General] ceebz:
I completely disagree. I remember my nexus one when running eclair would kill navigation if I took a call while using nav. When I upgraded to froyo, free memory jumped from ~40 to ~220. I never had to worry about Android killing navigation again.

And yes, I've had the same thing happen with my captivate running eclair, and I'm guessing it will happen on this froyo build as well.
