just bought my evo 4g today it came with 2.2 androind i followed this tutorial

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045

averything goes like its supposed to b euntill the last step

12C) Ok so the phone is stuck at a white htc screen. Power the phone off by pulling the battery. Then repower the phone on pressing power and vol-down at the same time. It should take you into the bootloader and scan your card and find the PC36IMG.zip chose yes to flash this file and when it ask you to reboot....reboot by pressing vol-up....Proceed to step 13

Ithis all this but sinc ethe start i kept getting to errors for radio and another one at the bottom

13) Ok your phone is rooted now, and you should be inside the rom. The rom you just flashed is the stock unrooted rom with the modified recovery. Download a rom of your choice copy it to the root of your sd card and flash it. But type the following first

at this point i believe im rooted it says off on the top on my evo instead of on.

but when it restarts it gets stuck at white screen with htc evo 4g messege. i havnt flashed a rom i though i could just leave it like this. when i get to recovery from the bootmenu it only shows the red triangle with no options.

please any advice will be apreciated

ill tryit again later to for helping.

is that supposed to be normal or did i ****d it up?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intel i7 quad:
Commonly referred as a boot loop and yes it happened to me. And I fixed it with what I said earlier.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helpmeplis:
nice that mans the recovery is the one ****ing up? im scared to try it again and not be able to fix it, by the way what is the step 4. ????
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intel i7 quad:
adb shell

chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage

chmod 0755 /data/local/flash_image

you need to run this via adb on your computer

1. for me I GO into windows 7 command prompt type cd which is change directory to the folder i have the android sdk folder in which would be "cd c:/androidsdk/tools" no Quotes

2. type "adb shell"no Quotes

3. you should see # or $

4. type "chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage" no Quotes

5. type "chmod 0755 /data/local/flash_image " no Quotes

6. done

when the evo was first rooted there was a tempory recovery you could load on your phone but it had to be connected to your computer i dont know just trying to throw out ideas. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=690762.

to try

Assuming you have windows like me

1. download files

2.go into bootloader press recovery if you see a red triangle continue if you dont and you see options your set

3. right click on recovery-windows.bat and click adminstrator perrmissions.

4. you should see the red triangle change into a green menu

TIPS

this is only tempory it will not work until you load it from the computer agein

I dont know if it will work;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helpmeplis:
ty i found about that .bat for recovery and used it. i flashed some recoverie plus a rom but it was still the same. i changed it for a new one im not so sure about trying it again. "ALTHOUGH i wont hold myself for more than a couple days"

This is my first post on this forum and what a fantastic forum this is - I have only just found it yet i have had XDA's ever since they came out.

I couldnt instal Skype on my HD2 but now

ITS ALL SORTED ITS working !!!!

I downloaded the CAB from http: // rapidshare.com / files / 323844276 / SkypeMobile.CAB

and it has worked - yipee! isnt the internet a wondeful thing.
[HD2 General] invisix1:
download skype mobile from here:

(www).mediafire.com/?moay04d9e2myfp2

install and run (the first load-up is always the longest, which takes ard 5-10 mins or even longer) but right after skype will load as normal.

P.S please remove all version of skype before installing.

When I try to download things from the browser onto my phone, it says I have insufficient storage. I formatted my SD and now have over 7GB of free space so I think the downloads are saving to my phone instead of my SD card.

Im used to flashing XPERIA X1. I did id 100 times.

I just saved enough money to buy myself HD2 which is very expensive in Bosnia.

So i want to be very carefull with it. Im sorry for opening a new topic but try to understand me. LOL.

What is the major differences between flashing X1 (kovsimg.nbh) and HD2

Is it like XPERIA and the first flash via USB so you can later use kovsimg.nbh files on MicroSD for new ROMS.

What are the risks??
[HD2 General] hagba:
No its not too different,if I were you wouldnt think of flashing from the SD/Card, for now,its always safer to do it by active Sinc with your PC,its better to forget the Xperia and start from scratch,its very easy once you put together the bits and pieces,and welcome to the forum.

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=534

this is a good place to start with,

With this thread,

and dont forget that you can also get Android to work on your HD2 from your SD card.

good luck
[HD2 General] denyboy:
Thanks. Its always good to see non-arogant people on internet who want to help.

Android will be important part of my HD2. Having two systems on one phone is great. I used android on my X1 but versions for X1 are still far away from beeing usable for everyday work.

Main reason for flashing ROM on my NEW HD2 is becouse of special WM ROM for HD2 which enables low battery consumption for Android.

Thanks again. And if anyone have something to add...please do so.

P.S. I flashed my X1 lots of times with microSD method and i did not have a single problem. But if you say activesync method is better than i shall do it via USB.
[HD2 General] jagger2k:
Xperia although branded as a Sony ericsson Device is really made by HTC. (HTC Kovsky) So the flashing process is more or less identical. Flash HSPL and then your custom Roms.
[HD2 General] denyboy:
OK another Questin. My X1 was without warranty.

My HD2 is Vodafone branded (no idea why), there is no vodafone in Bosnia. I have 12 months warranty not with vodapfone but with local mobile shop.

Does flashing vodafone update changes serial number or warranty

And does flashing custom ROMs changes warranty. I guess it does.
[HD2 General] denyboy:
Other question...does flashing custom rom changes Serial or IMEI number???

Before it was not important to me. But now it is.
[HD2 General] berbecverde:
Flashing does not change imei number but I think it does void the warranty if you flash a custom spl.
[HD2 General] denyboy:
I now. But in my warranty paper they is specific "serial number must not be changed"

Flashing is not changing IMEI, but is it changing SERIAL NUMBER???
[HD2 General] huggs:
Nope, flashing your phone will not change your IMIE or your phone's serial number, and even if flashing it would void your warranty, bringing it back to stock condition (just like it is now) is no harder than flashing a ROM.

So as far as warranty, not much to worry about :)

Like a previous poster said though, read everything

Then read it again

Then have fun flashing !!!
[HD2 General] denyboy:
THX. When you say its not harder than flashing. Do you mean backing up your ROM and flashing it or flashing original ROM.
[HD2 General] hagba:
you can install back your original Stock SPL,check here for HSPL thread and look for HSPL2_Run.EXE this will restore the original SPL,after that Download your original Stock ROM fro HTC support website with your S/N and flash it from your computer by connecting through USB and active Sync,this way you are back to your stock phone.
[HD2 General] denyboy:
Thank you all. You can consider this topic finished. I flashed HSPL3 and EnergyROM with latest Radio. Everything works.

If phone breaks in future i will then think about flashing stock stuff.

Thanks again to all of you.

I have heard that the orion SoCs will finish sampling by the end of this year, so it probably will arrive in q2 on 2011. Will the Nexus S have the orion, or just stay with the upclocked hummingbird (which if it does it will be heaven with my galaxy s, can you say stock fast updates!)?
[General Topics] slateac:
According to XDA's sources it will use the dual core Orion.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/xda-exclusive-gingerbread-2-3-nexus-s-pictures/

Do take note that when the Orion was first announced, Samsung said it would be available for "select customers" late 2010 and should be widely available at 2011

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/07/samsungs-orion-is-the-1ghz-dual-core-arm-cortex-a9-weve-all-be/

This timeframe fits perfectly for the Nexus S
[General Topics] ZenorGR:
Now let's just hope that Nexus S won't be overpriced.

But I suppose it will be on the 600euro range
[Epic 4G General] 1999TL:
Has anybody had a problem where the reception is really bad on the phone? Previously, my reception was fine. However, the phone fell off the couch and onto some hardwood flooring yesterday. I believe the problem started after that. I am only able to receive 0-1 signal bars now, whereas the phone maintained full bars in my house prior to the drop. The phone goes into and out of service a lot as well. I'm not even sure it was the drop that is the cause of this problem because it was only from about 3 ft(height of the couch).

I'm hoping there is an easy fix.
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
What modem do you have?
[Epic 4G General] 1999TL:
D18 with phx 1.49 and epic experience 2.08. I did a factory reset just in case, but that did nothing...just how I anticipated.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
You could try airplane toggle and prl update.
[Epic 4G General] 1999TL:
took the phone apart. hoped it was just a loose cable from the antenna. That wasn't the case. the phone is pretty much garbage now.
[Epic 4G General] hdnet1:
Did you try re-attaching both ends of the cable from the radio side to the antenna part at the bottom? Pop off the antenna module and re-attach it and see if that helps.
[Epic 4G General] Geekybiker:
Sound like it might have been a cold solder joint. Drop it and the weak joint breaks. If its dead now any ways you might try heating the pcb to try and reflow the joints.
[Epic 4G General] 1999TL:
I opened up the phone but I couldn't find where the solder joint was. err. I should have looked harder.
[Epic 4G General] 1999TL:
any idea where it would be ?
[Epic 4G General] 1999TL:
which part is the antenna module? I was hoping it was a loose cable. I saw there was a cable on the right side. I tried plugging it in but it seems that it wasn't loose. I also checked all the other cables.
[Epic 4G General] 1999TL:
Is the upper right hand corner the antenna, or is it all those r2 w1 connections?
[Epic 4G General] Mutiny32:
Well, if you're asking if I have really bad reception after I dropped my phone onto a hard surface, most likely breaking a solder for the antenna, then no. I haven't done that yet.

On a lighter note, the DK17 modem is very noticeably better than the DI18 modem in 4G as well as better WiFi signal and less spotty CDMA issues. The main fix I saw was the 3G/4G hand-off being much, MUCH more seamless than it is on DI18.
[Desire HD General] rosswaa:
ill be getting my dhd in a few hours when it arrives and was wondering about root and roms

whats the best rom for dhd atm? and how easy is the root process? any good guides for it?
[Desire HD General] malex1:
Leave stock rom on phone until you are used to the phone, and have tried all settings.

After a while, you will know if there is something you would like changed, and then see if there is a rom for you.
[Desire HD General] rosswaa:
Software is fine just need root really, I know android and sense really well. Was wondering about kernels but only as a maybe
[Desire HD General] pwraggcan:
Root's easy. Look in the forum for instructions and follow them exactly and you'll be fine.

As far as custom roms go, I'm using leedroidhd v1.2 and of 4 roms tested, I think it's the best but it's personal opinion of course.

Good luck
[Desire HD General] rosswaa:
easiest android root iv done =]

now to find a nice rom to stick with? anyone know if dhd is getting honeycomb or even gingerbread?

wants to be
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
I'd guess it will be available through a custom rom in the end....

for now, I am using LeeDrOid and it is working very nicely for me ;)

I probably am going to switch to cyanogen once it is tested a bit more...
[Desire HD General] rosswaa:
cm is nice but i like sense, they did a good job with it on stock this time :P
[Fascinate General] fupamobile:
Why am I told that I need rom manager premium instead of just the free one in this tutorial. I thought the only difference was premium had custom rom links for easy updates and upgrades. is this really necessary? is it necessary for this tutorial?
[Fascinate General] devlp1213:
no it is not
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
No. I really need to update the thread. I'll do that either tonight or tomorrow. I'm nowhere near a computer and I'm typing this from my phone.
[Fascinate General] bendbowden:
No it is not necessary, but it's very nice to have. Hint: google mobolism.org and search ROM Manager within the forum. You might be surprised at what you find :)

- dj05 plus voodoo 5 :)

- jealous???
[Fascinate General] fupamobile:
so the free version will work just fine in that tutorial?
[Fascinate General] fupamobile:
will do. thank you.

EDIT: must be a member to use search function. can you give me some cliffs on what i would find? really dont need another forum account.
[Fascinate General] bendbowden:
You will find most any paid market app for free. Need I say any more :)

Edit: I by no means promote piracy. Usually what I will do is get on there, download an app, and try it out. If I like it, I will uninstall and buy from the market (i.e. I did this with Rom Manager, Root Explorer, etc.). If I don't like it, I will just uninstall and not use anymore. This is my way of showing love to the developers who have worked so hard to make my phone better :)
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
bendbowden just listed everything that is screwed up in the Android community in two posts.

/clap
[Fascinate General] zachsx:
Wow agreed.
[Fascinate General] Bigredcat:
I also agree. It is out of developers hearts to offer free versions that have nearly all of the functionality of the full version and only ask for donations.

I paid for Rom Manager, because I thought his time and effort was well worth the $5 donation. Then you have some that would rather cut the developer out of the equation.
[Fascinate General] zachsx:
Still doesn't matter if you do Not everyone will be as nice as you. Cutting the dev completely out of the picture is wrong and shouldn't be done. Anyways the market has a 48 hour return policy on all purchases.
[Fascinate General] bendbowden:
Haha .... figured I would get slammed for being honest. That is why I love xda. Just trying to help a fella out :)

But you guys are right, I think ;)
[Fascinate General] zachsx:
Just don't understand the logic I guess. Since you front the money for the app. You dont like it, you get your money back. Instead of supporting some clowns that have made them free for download. Lol
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
The market refund policy enables the same protection described.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menomenic:
Hello,

I have a question about flashing the Galaxy S I9000 rom.

I own a htc touch pro i have flashed this phone several times.

I know when you flash this phone for the first time you need hard-spl.

Because when something is going wrong you don't brick the phone.

But by the galaxy S I9000 do i need some kind of software like the hard-spl before I flash the rom?

And when i am flashing the phone and the flash hangs or something goes wrong is the phone bricked or is there a kind of a safety net so i just can flash the phone again with out a problem just like the hard-spl for the htc phones?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragusman:
The main safety issue is as everyone will tell you is the 3 button recovery, if you have that then your pretty safe.

Backing up current rom with rom manager is a good idea aswell.

If you have both the above then just make sure you flash correrct rom and all will be good.

Hello fellow XDA people!

I know some guys are going to bust my ass for this, but i'll take the risk!

I know this is a double post but you can't let this thread Die because eventually everyone will expierence this problem!! Just hear me out and I already apologize for double posting!

XDA member ducklas1, posted a thread on hardkeys and by the extensive use of it while using android.. see (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841559)

I've been downloading Android roms since day 1, and my hardkeys started to be worn out.. Initially i thought it was a factory manufactoring issue so I sent my HD2 to the service center and they fixed it...

Now that i have my HD2 back for 2 months I'm starting to expierence the same thing.. By using android we are using the hardkeys a lot more then we do with WM6! And believe me everyone will eventually expierience the same issues as i spoke with numerous people here on XDA and friends of mine..

I'm not as smart as a lot of you people out there so i can't make an adjustment on android so i wont use our hardkeys that much..

So please DEVS (your are all my heroes) can you guys look into this?? The link i posted above from ducklas1's thread has an idea which looks awesome! Maybe that's an idea to do??

Maybe there's an app i dont know about which solves our issues.. (and there are a lot of people expierencing this)

Don't let this thread die (like ducklas1's) ! We all needs this! And your hardkeys will die as well!!

Thank you for your time..

which hard key/keys are going bad for them?

the only time i use the hard keys is to wake the phone up, but i would be doing the same in WM too so i don't see how's it's a big deal
[HD2 General] vartp:
It's a phone, you buy it to use it, and button are there to use them.

If you want to save your buttons (screen, cpu, etc), put HD2 under the glass, buy some cheap nokia and use it instead.

(I love my hard buttons, it's much better then soft button on EVO/Desire HD)
[HD2 General] Yosef:
i don't have some problems ...
[HD2 General] jaedolla:
killer!

you button murderer!!!!
[HD2 General] b1ackplague:
Sounds like an individual issue

The first HD2 i had my keys "died" in about a month. I couldn't press them, they would get stuck and sometimes i would press one key and it would activate another. T-Mobile exchanged my HD2 for a new one and, for 8 months now they have been perfect with using Android since it was first released.

So, i would say warranty your phone again or practice tearing it apart and replacing the keys ever-so-often.
[HD2 General] mightymn:
This is actually quite ordinary. Hardware keys are only good for a certain number of presses which is dependent on the amount of pressure you put on them. Sooner or later, all hardware keys wear out. Some phones may have better quality keys. Now, considering the fact that buttons are a crucial part of android, the phone needs better buttons if it's going to survive more than 1-2 years.

Touch screens however have a much longer life. I assume this must be the case with capacitive buttons too.

Edit: An edit just to say why I think android is more dependent on hard keys. Of course, it seems so obvious, but it's funny how some people can't understand it.

Most android apps don't have any kind of menu bar at the bottom. So to bring up the menus you have to hit the HD2's windows button. There's also no soft X, so you have to press back and home buttons a lot more than in winmo. These 3 buttons wear out more quickly when you're using android.
