[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonyandrews:
some mac tips

I had an issue when I was rooting my friends phone on my mac.

1. open the REFLASH.DMG to mount it as a disk

2. open the mounted disk image

3. verify that the icon says EVO 3

4. double click that icon

5. (if needed click to confirm that its ok to open the app you downloaded)

6. verify that it says UNREVOKED 3 in the window

7. go to the REFLASH MENU and choose ABOUT

8. verify that it says v3.21

9. Seperately, another tip if it does NOT say v3.2.1 make sure that you do not have more than one reflash.dmg in your downloads folder...some may argue that this does not matter, but it does. The reason why is that you may have inadvertantely downloaded wrong one as reflash.dmg, then as you downloaded it a second, third, fourth time, etc... you might have reflash-1.dmp, reflash-2.dmg, etc... some or all of these might be incorrect. I recommend deleting all of the reflash.dmg's that you have, and redownloading it and trying again.

I tried several times to download the correct file. it seems that some links are outdated and broken and send you to 3.14 or 2.07(?) .

I flashed his 3.30.651.2 with no issue once I had the correct installer. But as with the other phones I have rooted, it usually works on the second try...(im not sure why?)

I assisted a co-worker over the phone to root his evo, giving him the steps one by one, and he was able to do it. (although he could not figure out what software version he has! He got his evo in the early days though.)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surf Burger:
I made sure that its 3.21 and that its for the evo I get the message after it says "waiting for reboot" right after the first time going into hboot

A. backup your sd card to your computer. can't stress this enough, as partitioning will wipe the entire card.

B. Reboot into recovery

c. In android system recovery, select partition sdcard

d. In the partition sdcard menu, select partition sd

e. Follow the instructions on the phone to partition your sd card. You can optionally set a swap file while you are partitioning your sd card.

F. In the partition sdcard menu, select sd:ext2 to ext3. Follow the instructions on the screen.

G **skip**

h. Press the back button on the phone to go back to the main menu.

I. Put the a2sd file on the sd card (and all your other files you backed up earlier) by selecting usb-ms toggle and transfer the files to your computer.

3. In recovery, select flash zip from sdcard.

4. In flash zip from sdcard, select the a2sd package file you downloaded earlier. Press home to flash.

5. Reboot phone.

This actually seems a lot less scary then using a Live-CD! To each there own:).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xjayman:
thank you !
[Hero CDMA Android Development] neemypeemy:
Thank you so much for this!

I used Superoneclick to root, so I didn't have the same partition options needed to create the extensions as noted in the other instructions in the recovery methods.

Appreciate it!:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] indiscriminant:
So I did the A2SD and have used it successfully for awhile now, I recently got a new card that is larger/faster and have already set it up for A2SD as well. Is there an easy way to transfer the apps from my first card to my new one without using linux? I did my partitioning in recovery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Actually no. The only way you can do that in windows is by using linux explorer or some other compatibility program to use windows to see ext partitions...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] indiscriminant:
Thanks, I will just redownload everything later then using App Brain.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] neemypeemy:
OK, I completed all steps but when I put the card in the phone or in Windows, it shows up as RAW and says I have to reformat.

I did everything twice just to make sure I did it correctly, but no go.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
In windows, because of the ext partition it wont see those, however instead it would just ignore the ext partitions and just load the fat partitions....

You can reformat the remaining fat space in windows if you would like. It won't hurt the ext3 partition, but it shouldn't come up with any errors... Go ahead and reformat the fat partition in windows, and then see if the phone sees it (and make sure it's to the size you wanted).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] neemypeemy:
When I try to reformat it only will let me reformat the swap file.

Here's a screen shot.

I've done the ubuntu steps twice, so not sure what I'm doing wrong, it's pretty straight forward.

First was formatted as swap, second ast the EXT3, third as FAT in Ubuntu.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
This is quite odd indeed.... Just to ask (and really JUST to ask) which version of windows are you using there? I know it had no bearing on it though... Which also is strange that it shows the rest of the partitions the way they are.. All but the last one should be shown as an "Unknown Partition". Did you use a Virtual Machine to do it? Could be the reason but I am not for sure...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] neemypeemy:
Windows 7 64bit

I will give it another go! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatkitty420:
I have a theory that we should only have to buy 1 data plan from our cell phone providers if we're only going to use 1 device at a time. What I mean is I would like to be able to have... let's say; a Samsung GalaxyS AND my HTC Evo on Sprint but only pay for 1 data plan with the idea that I can only use data on only one device at a time. I don't see how this can be a problem for anyone. If Sprint were able to make a "switch" on our Sprint accounts that would be pretty sweet.

But, since that does not exist, I would like to ask the community if there is another way around this? Is it possible to "Clone" my phone identifier information so I can fake the Sprint system in to seeing a tablet as my HTC Evo?

If not, can someone fill me in on the limitations?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] envoykrawkwarrior7:
ill tell you right now that creating clone phones in the us is illegal. personally i tried by changing an esn, no it doesnt work, theres a lot of data that needs to be changed and really just doesnt work. unfortunatley its just the way the american market works =\.

also xda frowns upon topics like this usually, theres a couple of other sites out there that can help you out though if your willing to try.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uclajw1:
Why not just use the Evo as a wifi hotspot for the tablet via wifi tether?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akastixx:
there is not much of a market or desire to do what you are asking for legal or non-nefarious purposes, so sprint is not going to waste their time. *most* people don't carry around two phones unless they are required to due to work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatkitty420:
I understand the hesitation on this. It just seems silly to me that I have to daisy chain devices.

I think Sprint would attract a huge part of the tablet market if they allowed us to hot swap data plans as needed. They can even create a new Group Plan that allows this feature.

However, the dev hasn't been active for weeks, for what reasons I don't know.....but the rom has something I really like called dconfig, its basically a tool that lets you ban some apps and use a battery profile. Basically I want to know is there a way for me to incorporate this tool into another rom or is it just specific to that rom. If I can't is there another program like it

So what happens (and I've confirmed it doesn't happen with an unmodified phone) is that when I turn the phone off then plug into USB or AC adapter (OEM) it boots into recovery. I've tried with and without development on. It's very annoying and maybe just a side effect of rooting or flashing HBOOT. Please if there is a fix tell me what it is!!

Things I've done:

-Updated to OTA 2.2.1

-Permrooted with Visionary+ v14

-Flashed Recovery with ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2

-Modified S=OFF using theunlockr.com method (flashing hboot with different image)

I have been playing with my Hero mods all day, and have a new question that I a sure has a simple answer, it is just escaping me finding it :confused: On my lock screen, I have two "slider" buttons.. One is to unlock the screen, the other is to change the ringer/vibrate/silent controls. I have accidentally turned off the ringer w/o knowing it via sliding the ringer/vibrate/silent controls while it was in my pocket. How do i change the lock screen so that slider is not present?

I am using CM6.1 w/ADW Launcher on a Sprint Hero (CDMA). The slider buttons go from right to left and left to right (not up or down).

Any help on this issue is helpful.... Also, in addition to how to change/remove it, is the issue related to CM6 or ADW? Thanks!

Everything else works fine (internet, sms, calls, etc). I am also running web2go via internet2.voicestream.com I have tried froyo sense revolution 1.7 and now the TMOUS Bluetopia since its said it works with tmo mms but for me its not the case.

Hi, does anyone know if locked Streaks will still have full functionality for those of us who are using Rebelsim II ver 1.2 after the upgrade to Froyo 2.2 ? I need my phone as a business tool and don't want to take the risk of upgrading when the official update becomes available shortly, then finding phone & 3g functionality is buggy. I'm still on stock 1.6 at the moment and altho a bit short on features, at least the phone works fairly dependably at the moment using Rebelsim.

Wish we could just get a straightforward unlock solution for the O2 Streak (without sending the handset across the waters, that is).

Thanks for your input.

Rebelsimcard II firmware v1.2 doesn't work with 2.2 android.

I have uprgaded rebelsimcard firmware to 1.3beta and it doesn't work.

So better stay on android 1.6 or crappy 2.1.

Or send your dell streak to dellstreakunlock.com for software factory unlock.
[Streak 5 General] SAman1:
Damn, that sucks! Sending my phone away is just not feasible. Have you notified Rebelsim of the problem so they can work on a working firmware? Or even better, provide us with the unlock code that we can input ourselves (at a fee of course).

I've used contact form on the dellstreakunlock.com website but so far no reply.

[Streak 5 General] SAman1:
Come on Rebelsim :mad: ...If you can really software unlock the Streak as you claim, then why can't it be done remotely? Most Rebelsim users are from remote locations (conceivably the most common need for the unlock) so shipping our Streaks is just too risky and inconvenient (& potentially costly). I'd rather pay some of those shipping charges towards your unlock fees instead.

Dell streak / mini 3 Aero Remote Unlock solutions for unlocking

Hi

i can assure we can unlock the Dell Streak Fully :)

i know the postal service is a not the best of options

Our Teams are working on enhancing the solution for the streak so users can use our services from remote locations without the need to physically send in like we have created for for unlocking for the Dell Mini 3 / Aero

We are currently working on both the Rebel sim II 2.2 update and remote unlock solution.

Soon as Development is complete on either solution will get back to you but their is no guarantee we will accomplish either but we are giving it ago.
