[EVO 4G General] IconBoy:
Thank you so much for all the info and suggestions.

I ended up taking the EVO back. Ported my number fine to TMo and got the G2. Amazingly, I miss the EVO already. The G2 keyboard doesn't wow me at all - my days of decent keyboard were the Treo 650/680.

I am finding the typing on the screen difficult. I like the heaviness of the G2 (and the EVO) - feels solid.

I tried some speedtests and got:

Download: 162 kbps/0.16 Mbps/20.2 kBps

Upload: 738kbps/0.72 Mbps/92.2 kBps

Not exactly stellar, seeming as I had full strength and the "H" symbol was showing (not H+ mind you!)

It *is* nice that a good few of the Google apps are built in, but some I wouldn't use.

Regarding rooting...I am very keen to do it (especially to get rid of bloated apps) but chicken - don't want to lose warranty.

I now have a further 30 days to see how I like it. It's only been a day, but I am tempted to go back to the EVO. Will wait a good few more days and see how it all goes.

Again, thank you everyone.

My buddy has a g2 nothing to great, he can't wait to get back to android, I feel that sprint network is comparably better to tmo. But its all up to you, I like the evo a lot, ps get rid of the keyboard and pick up swype this phone is great with it.

[EVO 4G General] IconBoy:
I signed up for Swype beta a month or two ago and haven't heard back. Where can I get Swype if I take the G2 back? Can I take Swype of the GS and put it on the EVO...?
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
You can download the app from this site (xda) in the theme/app section. People take the beta and upload it for anyone to download. You just have to check the "unknown sources" thing and allow non market apps to download.
[EVO 4G General] MSmith1:
Funny how these threads come up a lot and you'll get several people talking about how dated the Evo specs are and how you should get something with better specs but everyone keeps coming back to the Evo after they've tried the rest.
[EVO 4G General] dmc971989:
Touche sir, Touche...
[EVO 4G General] makoute:
As someone who's been interested in buying the EVO since it came out, my biggest apprehension has been regarding the sim card issue. So I can understand where you are coming from here.
[EVO 4G General] notasimpleway:
I guess the G2's "unhackable" partition or whatever they are calling it now makes this an easy choice. Stick with the Evo. This phone is gonna be around for a while. :D and will only get better.

The Evo doesn't even apparently properly tell you when you're on 1X.. so..
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
Mine tells me when im on it.. When im in a call it says 1x
[EVO 4G General] heygrl:
I'm talking about in general/when you're not in a call and it's obviously only going to be on 1X. There is a thread on it if you missed it. Very misleading. I've seen 1X dropping down from 3G far too often with Sprint and if the Evo isn't going to reflect this drop in data service, any claims of the best "3G" coverage can be refuted. I know Sprint has more 3G coverage than T-Mobile but that doesn't mean you won't ever see 1X in a 3G coverage area.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
OP:

Keeping the G2? Or are you going back to the EVO?
[EVO 4G General] IconBoy:
I switched and went with the G2. After five days I took it back and "re-got" the EVO. I think it is a superior device. I was disappointed with the G2. I found the keyboard difficult to use and it lacked things I enjoyed on the EVO.
[EVO 4G General] Rally187:
Haha! Nice, the evo's solid man. I would have done the same thing especially if i couldn't root
[EVO 4G General] IconBoy:
i haven't rooted because I'm too chicken - Ha! Ha! I do want to root but only if it is possible to "go back" to the original EVO software.

Knowing the G2 couldn't root (permanently) because of that issue built into it was a biggie for me.

Any suggestions on rooting? If I root, can I remove Nascar and other stuff I won't ever use? Now, the $64m question, can I put it all back so it is stock Sprint EVO if I want it to be back as it was?
[EVO 4G General] Rally187:
@iconboy

You can go back after you have rooted by running RUU's through your computer. But that will add all the stock bloatware. There are some roms that you can load that are basically stock minus all the crap that run really well and might have some extras too. I loaded Myn's rom and i just cant get over the style of it i love it! but to answer your ?? you can unroot.... and get all the sprint stuff back.
[EVO 4G General] IconBoy:
Excuse my "newbie-ness, but what and how can I get RUU?

I only want to get rid of bloatware and maybe enable tethering.

What other reasons/suggestions for rooting? EVO is only a day or two old so don't want to do silly stuff and void warranty if I can get by with simpler things.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
my friend..

you are at the perfect website / forum to find all things dealing with rooting and unrooting...

you only need to do a little exploring and you will find it!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] relik1989:
Ok, so here is my story. I just got a T-Mobile HD2 yesterday. I successfully installed HPSL, and was running Android 2.2 beautifully. Except I had the problem with the distortion during calls. So I started searching...I must have done at least 3hrs of research before I did anything.

So what I was told was that I needed to flash the radio. I read dozens of forums with people talking about trying all different kinds of roms and people even going as far as saying that if you flash one that doesnt work, dont worry just reflash.

Well, I THOUGHT I had narrowed my search down to the rom I needed. I was under the impression that I should use this rom;

(Leo_RADIO_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2 (from HTC ** 1.48)

But I unintentionally downloaded this one;

Leo_RADIO_15.28.50.07U_2.05.50.11 **(from TMOUS 2.01)

Now My phone wont even come on! Ive heard people talking about un-bricking these phone, but they all start with going to the boot loader. Mine does NOTHING AT ALL....the light doesn't even come on when I plug the charger in :(

When I flashed it everything went fine, no errors, nothing, I had the htc loading bar on my screen, it hit 100% and it shut off and it wont come back on.

By the way, I flashed it via usb.

I have a bad feeling that I'm screwed. But if anyone can help it would be appreciated. As I received this phone from a friend who switched to the EVO, I don't even have the T-Mobile service yet, I was going to switch at the end of the month. I don't believe I have a way to get it replaced.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] relik1989:
OK, so some more research has found that I definately installed the wrong rom...duh. and that this problem is specific to the tmobile phones.

At this point I have been reading about jtag, RIFF box to be specific. I would be willing to pay someone (a reasonable amount) if they could fix my phone. I'm may be willing to purchase my own riff box, if I cant get my hands on a new phone. I just don't want to spend $150 on a piece of equipment that ill only use once.

But if absolutely necessary, is there anyone out there willing to provide me with step by step instructions on how to connect the jtag to the phone, and run the software? I know its going to involve soldering, I have that coverd, But what and where to solder?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0bmentality:
i hope someone answers and you get this fixed because after you hit a radio brick.. im lost.. thats time for me to call my insurance company..

good news is.. there are enough bricks on here that if you have to buy something that will fix a radio brick.. if you chaged $30 -$50 a phone to fix them you would have more phones in your hands than youd know what to do with and would def get your money back.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmccabe78:
there was a thread that samsamuel and some other guy were discussing this. the other guy (forget who it was) can do this...but lives in south america. if you search for it, maybe he can help. yes, a very looooong shot...but an idea...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] relik1989:
Well I have some good news, for me anyway, I did some research and found that the phone I had received is still under warranty until March. So I'm hoping that since its a complete brick that they wont be able to tell It was modified, and also I believe the rom I was trying to flash is actually an "official" rom(correct me if im wrong).

I have given serious thought to getting the riff box and selling the service, I could definitely use the money, but I don't know the first thing about how to use it.

Now, this seriously needs to be done!! What rom should the T-Mobile USA users use to flash the radio in there HTC HD2? I know I'm not the first or the last person who will brick there phone. I searched for over 3hrs and kept getting linked back to the same thread,

([REF]The HTC HD2 Radio ROM Thread)

Now while that does seem to be a very complete list of roms, nowhere does it give any info on what one to use for what device. Furthermore, I knew what phone I had, what model, the ram and rom size, all the jazz, but nowhere did anyone tell me that the !!T-Mobile!! HD2 was just "Slightly" different than the others. I didnt find that out until AFTER I bricked the phone, as did ALL of the other users who bricked there devices.

I, and most of the other bricked users would agree, there needs to be a thread(maybe even a sticky) that is solely dedicated to us T-Mobile HD2 users. So lets start here!

The primary and really only issue is this...what is the proper radio rom to use on these phones and what is the proper way to flash them? If this question can be discussed it will make many of us very happy.

BTW. Other than the robotic voices, the HD2 ran android AMAZING props to whoever created FroyoStone_Sense_V3.1. its simply amazing!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
re post 1 unfortunately you haven't got your information right. the first one will def kill a tmous because it is a ..51.. radio, and the second one will also kill a tmous because 2.04.50.x and 2.05.50.x are from test roms and don't support the 576ram giving the same effect as a ..51.. radio.

re post 5 the radio thread you mentioned. i suspect you have been only reading the regular hd2 section, (this section) when in fact the tmous has it whole own section, complete with tmous radio thread with all these warnings.

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=631

on a plus note loads of people have claimed on warranty, just don't mention flashing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] relik1989:
Thank you! I love to be proven wrong. (No sarcasm intended)

I had no idea there was a tmous thread. anyway this was the original radio thread

httpa:Z//Zforum.xda-developers.Zcom/showthread.Zphp?t=611787

I threw some Z's in the link because I'm still new here so I cant post links yet. :D

And no way did I tell HTC that I flashed the phone. I just told them that I put it on charge, went to bed, woke up, and it was dead as a doornail. I should have it back in 3 weeks. :eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarathustrax:
When you get it back, stick to the tmous hd2 forums for flashing info. For everything else, though, I find the original hd2 forums we're in now a lot more informative and active. The phone are identical except for rom size and the fact you can't flash certain radios. But you can use the same software, etc.

Good luck returning your phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] relik1989:
We'll I should have my phone back within a few weeks. Apparently HTC repair is backed up, its got something to do with the Nexus One. I didnt say a word about it being hacked, so I hope they don't find out. But anyway, I wanted to thank all of you for the positive feed back with my problem, and for linking me to the right forum. I was expecting to be bombarded with people calling me an idiot, and saying things like "use the F'ing search button", but Instead I was given very useful and sympathetic replies, and all the info I need to not make the same mistake twice. Thank all of you, I wish the users of more forums could be this professional, helpful, and quite frankly this grown up. :)

Thank you.

P.S: Can anyone confirm or deny whether or not HTC will be able to recognize that the phone was hacked?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostArmor Jeff:
Hey all

First off, I have done all my research to try and answer this myself.. I GIVE UP! I have to be missing something.

I just rooted my HTC Evo using the unrevoked method..FULL ROOT 2.2 YAY!!!

Also, I followed all the steps from the UNLOCKR.com vid to unlock nandroid in hopes of being able to flash a custom rom. I now have the HBOOT .76 ver I think...downgraded from the .93 ver.

Everything seemed to go through seemlessly. But, when I go into recovery and try to flash the rom with the custom recovery (AMOS RA? I think is the one I am using, previously had clockwork mod but didn't like as much)...anyhow I keep getting an error after I try to flash the ZIP, MYNS WARM TWOPOINT TWO ROM to be exact. It says "E: Can't find update script" WHAT AM I DOING WRONG OR NOT DOING??? PLZ ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!! THANKS IN ADVANCE. Sorry if this has been answered but I really did search with no avail!

Thanks again!

Trying to get this figured out ASAP!

Are you by chance using a mac when you download the file?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeza:
Also, make sure the zip file you download isn't corrupt. Try and extract or peek inside to see if all the files are intact; more specifically, look for the update/updater script in the META-INF/com/google/android folder.

Downloaded ROM automatically decompressed...

Ran into this when I started trying to flash ROMs on my Mac...come to find out I was in Safari and once downloaded, the ROM was automatically decompressed and taken out of .zip form. I downloaded the same files using Firefox, and it gave the option to either have something decompress the downloaded file automatically, or save the .zip file to the HD. Once I selected save the .zip file, it was gravy. Just a lil help since I didn't see it posted. Have fun!:D:D

Has anyone encountered bluetooth issues in this leak. I drive ford vehicles with sync. Sync uses the bluetooth for handsfree calling. Since going to froyo, my phone will pair with sync initially but drop out when i try to make a call. Furthermore, the phone will do a soft reset if i try to turn the bluetooth off then back on through the power widget in an attempt to reconnect with sync. I have also encountered the soft reset twice when turning gps on an off through the power widget. Any opinion would be awesome. I'm going to flash to jf6 then back to froyo tomorrow since i originally went from Cog2.1.6 to froyo to see if that corrects the problem. I'm spoiled by handsfree calling and its driving me insane not having it! Fords new lineup with Sync rocks by the way in case anyone is wondering :)

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] TechGuy77:
I have a U.S. Cellular on Verizon but I was converted recently from Alltel. So I actually got the U.S. Cellular TP2 activated on Alltel then was brought over with the conversion. Everything seems to work except when I boot to Android data is flaky but use to work fine on Alltel they have an open ticket for me. Give them a call and talk with a tech to get it activated. Just don't say anything about it being a U.S. Cellular phone and you might get luck. If they say its not a Verizon TP2 then disagree and ask them to force it through. We are suppose to be able to take our devices from one carrier to another as long as its CDMA to CDMA technology per FCC order. Verizon also joined the Open Device a few years ago so it should not be a problem. Good luck!

Oh but mine is still all setup for Alltel...must be a grandfather thing but at least on Windows Mobile everything still works. I tired to configure it for Verizon but data did not seem to work. And mine still says U.S. Cellular as the carrier....wish I could get that to go away.
