I have tried several applications (web,angrybirds,pocketcloud, and adw) and only left click is working. Yes, a regular pointer shows with a little triangle pointing 11:30 o'clock. However, when you try to move or click mouse before getting to main screen for any aplications, it will just terminate and put you back to ADW screen.

ps. I use Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 and Froyo 1.2v

I am running a new EVO which came with the new update and HBOOT 2.02.

I was able to get S-OFF

I am able to get into the bootloader and fastboot but that is all. I cant boot into the android OS I have not installed a custom recovery image because I get the following error when running adb shell

Im really stuck here and without shell I cant think of anything I can do to fix this. I have even tried running the RUU software in windows.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jagxj220:
Best thing to do is make a video, upload and post the link so we can see what you are talking about. It's hard to picture the issue without visuals.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okolowicz:
What was the result when trying to run the RUU? If you can get the phone into Fastboot the RUU should work. That, of course, will bring you back to stock at which point you can start over.

That said, since you are at S-OFF did you try to putting a PC3IMG.zip on your sdcard and letting it run? Depending on the root method you used, there are a few floating around here but certainly worth a shot.

Do a search for toastch's How to Root the EVO Part 2 and try that one. The worst that could happen is you'd get a "Main Version Older" error and have to try another or take a different approach.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkansi:
Heading to work in a few minutes. When I get there I will try the suggestions below. If all else fails Ill make a video.

RUU was not detecting in fastboot. But I will try it at another computer in 2 hours.

Tried several times, everything seems to go ok during install but I remember getting Fail PU. (Maybe be PU Fail) But after I do this it just sits at the white HTC Evo screen.

Unable to flash. I can push files in adb but adb shell does not work. I think the Android system folder may be damaged.

I read his tutorial and no go, but I will do the above suggestions then try again.

Thanks everyone for all your help, I will do the above suggestions and let you know. If anyone has any other ideas then post it and I will try it as soon as I get to work.

thx guys, I really appreciate it..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkansi:
Update - I got to work and ghosted a desktop, to get a clean start and was able to run RUU in fastboot. Now that I have a new start with S-Off, I will follow toasts guide and let you guys know.

thx again for the fast response.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkansi:
Ok I ran RUU 3.29 to get a clean start. Then followed toasts guide and after PC36IMG.zip is installed via bootloader there is an error "partition update fail."

I reboot and it hangs on the HTC screen, I waited about 15 minutes then had to pull the battery. I then had to run fastboot and RUU just to make the phone usable again.

Any clues

I wonder if there is a slight difference in hardware to other 2.02.0000 builds. I'm willing to try anything so let me know if anyone has an Idea.

Thx again guys
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
A shot from left field. Rename the PC36IMG.zip but do not delete it.

Keeping the original renamed PC36IMG.zip as a place holder, load a new PC36IMG.zip onto the sdcard. See if the error is reproducible.

If the error is gone or moves then the problem is the sdcard.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkansi:
Yeah I tried that. I pulled a PC36IMG.zip from a few other tutorials and it didnt work.

But I just now ran unrevoked on RUU 3.30 and it was finally able to install a recovery, now let me see if the Roms work. Be back later.

Edit:

This is odd...

After I installing clockworkmod via unrevoked I was able to get back into the OS.

So I decided to do a nandroid backup via clockworkmod. After doing the backup I clicked "reboot system now" and the phone goes to the white HTC screen then boots back into the recovery image. I Pulled battery and reinserted it but it continues to loop back to the recovery image.

When I tried to do a nadroid restore I got the followign error.

Error while flashing the boot image.

Now Im going to try doing RUU again and redo unrevoked. But if it doesnt work does work does anyone else have any ideas? Has anyone seen this before?

Thx again

man i hope it works... Im biting my nails for you..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
man i think i get it! you have bootloader 2.02, which isn't allowing you to switch bootloaders, causing a fail. try running sprint lovers newest (in pc36img.zip format) and see if you get better results. good luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkansi:
I have modded many android phones since the G1, but this one goes against most of the common knowledge that I have read on here.

I flashed to RUU 3.30 again

Then ran unrevoked again.

At the end of the procedure unrevoked came back error free but clockworkmod told a different story. (I will include the log in my next post.)

I rebooted and still had access to my ROM i downloaded a terminal APP from the market place to check for root. Lowe and behold I am greeted with #.

So I rebooted to the recovery menu to do a nadroid backup.

After the backup was done I was stuck with the phone looping from white HTC screen to the recover menu.

I am now going to try all of the above steps again, but this time I wont do a nandroid backup, instead I will attempt to install amonra recovery image.

I have gotten 3 messages from people having the same issue as me getting out of S-ON then getting the recovery installed. It is a little odd

I will reply after my current test

When I pushed the sprint lovers newest pc36img.zip I was able to boot into the OS, but when I tried the nandroid backup. It created the same loop issue as before.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J Piddy:
Ok so I was at pretty much the same spot and when I re-flashed the PC36img.zip my phone rebooted (kind of), when it turned off it never came back on. It will not turn on at all. The computer will not recognize it and the light does not come on when I try to charge. I was rooted running Myn's and was running perfect. One day it went to the white HTC screen and would go no further. Any ideas? It seems to have no power at all.

I can get into recovery mode, uploading the signned update.zip fails:

error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt"

I can try the same thing putting whatever I want on the card, but I can't seem to get it to do ANYTHING useful. downgrade/upgrade/factory reset.

it is now -s (probably why I am stuck in a rock and a hard place), and has the latest G2 firmware installed.

None of the tools I have seem to do help. I've downloaded dozens of firmwares.

I can talk to the phone via fastboot, or put the SD card into a reader and write files to it.

No matter what I do, It wont update, and when it reboots it is stuck on HTC logo screen.

I have another one on order, but it sure wold be nice is someone with a clue could hold my hand and help me get this thing back to working.

I have tools, some skills, and apparently know just enough to F things up.

[Vibrant General] DMaverick50:
First of all, I was going to hang on to my nexus until a hi Res display came along but my wife got a vibrant and I got one free, the point is I've only had it a few weeks and I wasn't following it too closely so I don't even know the original due date for froyo. But this is my 4th android so delays certainly don't surprise me. Anywa, as i understand it the SGS has the same specs as the galaxy tab, and apparently adobe flash is a "disaster" on the tab. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/artic...e-tab-is-an-embarrassing-disaster-2010-11.DTL

So maybe adobe flash on the vibrant has needed special attention. At this rate however I would expect all able galaxy s owners to just buy the nexus s and simply remove themselves from samsung's incapable firmware update team's psychological abuse

I haven't heard complaints about the unofficial versions but maybe they are having trouble stabilizing flash enough for a stable official version such that we have flash working but other bugs exist, maybe getting those bugs ironed negatively affects flash? Or maybe I'm just trying make myself feel better through poor rationalization...
[Vibrant General] Erickomen27:
To Be Honest I've Been Running Froyo For A Little While Now And Flash Works Great For Me...

Granted I'm Not on It 24/7 And I'd Rather Use Mobile Sites Most Of The Time.

But When I Do Use Flash It Works Fine
[Vibrant General] willsnews:
Same here only I prefer the full sites and flash works great I've been watching movies streamed from the web and after two hours of non stop use still no problem

Still flashing
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I had no problems with flash but I did set it to On-Demand because it lags up the scrolling. xvideo flash videos played with no problem.
[Vibrant General] dmolition:
But other countries have froyo already, we don't have froyo mostly because we have a modified GalaxyS, think about it like this, Nexus One would always get updates first because they were plain vanilla not modified (touchwiz or SenseUI). I hope I make sense.
[Vibrant General] DMaverick50:
Yeah I'm definitely reaching, I just start getting antsy when these firmware updates get delayed and we don't hear much from the responsible party/s. I feel like almost every firmware update I've ever received has been delayed, but ive always had HTC phones until now, is Motorola always behind as well?

Also, is froyo actually that late (I mean, I know its devastatingly late seeing as gingerbread will be out before we get it but as far as what vibrant owners were promised....)? What was the original due date?
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
If flash is always turned it will really have issues, but if your turned it on when you need it, it will work fine like watching videos, you just have to wait for about 10 seconds of loading then it will work fine.
[Vibrant General] zerosource:
i feel the same as OP =[
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Another theory to why Froyo isn't officially out...

... is that they responsible party(s) decided to leak a froyo version first. Than let the developers here at XDA hammer out details, then recover it and put the fixes into their own version to make it better. Maybe that is why leaks comes out to us. So the manufacturers can get free alpha testers and fixes.
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
I honestly just uninstalled flash. It bogged down my phone too much. As soon as I got rid of it, my browser was back to being speedy.
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
Why not just set flash to "on demand" in your browser? It won't load until you click on the flash content. Most browsers support that.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
My phone's better with flash if I'm using the skyfire browser. It much faster than the stock.
[Vibrant General] Zylograth:
You are aware that the Nexus S is also a Samsung phone right?
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
Yes Flash 10.1 does make the browser laggy and presumably consumes more battery due to being a system hog. I am using Obsidian V2 Froyo ROM. There could be work arounds, but it definitely needs optimization for mobile devices.

Now how does this only affect Galaxy S phones and not any other phone running froyo?
[Vibrant General] raduque:
Honestly, I'm gonna be pissed if it turns out they held back 2.2 for ****ing *FLASH*.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Not in the slightest, at the most they watch over to listen for bugs. We got JI2 when they had already moved on to JI4/JI5 and then to JI6. Samsung doesn't work off of stuff here, the developers work off of what Samsung gives us.

[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
I sort of like sense, until the level of the android integration changes, as it's supposed to ˜32 for GB. Last I saw king was sorting it out and testing the wifi stuff.

The issue with all of android development is the "glue" which holds the pieces together. The changes in frameworks (new releases..) necessitates changes in the "glue". So whether it's changes to arguments, changes to calls, changes to tunnels / pipes, semaphores, locks, all these take work. Code does not compile and test itself, yet (lol). So a system integrator, which is what devs do, earns its (non-sexist) keep by using other peoples / coders stuff.

Vision is what all the devs have. Vision to see how the pieces should fit together. So I support his sorry ass, till this site comes to the same realization. I also support others. I fully appreciate their work and effort. How can people expect code for free? F off the devs are entitled to remuneration. Supporters fill the niche of testers, I almost wish the stuff was first given, then issued to supporters. As it is, we test, you benefit, back asswords...

So Kings AOSP rom is in his forum and he has done bunch of stuff to make it work. Decadence, Flipz, Birdman, Hill, Koush, Cyanogen, Amon_RA, Hero_over, KingX, and everybody else who "devs" should be names you remember at this start of a new genera of personal computing. Stories to tell your kids... "see that xxx on the TV, that's my software."

BTW if google is going to compete with MS, it had better start funding.

I am amazed that these people provide stuff, and people have the gall to comment on them, IT'S THE CODE, not the coder.

Actually, it does work with Froyo even though it says that in the Market (that's probably the official line, so we can't ***** about it). If you read comments & online there are plenty confirmed working w/Froyo.

I had it on my MT4G and it worked fine until I permrooted w/S=OFF. Now any time the phone restarts I have to choose the default launcher again.
