[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fizzlepop:
Hi, I just got my EVO a few days ago and I also have HBOOT 0.97.00... I was able to successfully install the Windows 7 drivers and follow the instructions on the unrevoked3 site listed a few posts back. Everything looked ok and at one point it said "it is a huge success" or something along those lines..

But after the reboot, it went into the clockwork mod recovery I think and proceeded to try to do something an received a bunch of error messages stating "incorrect radio" or something along those lines along with a few other error messages..

I rebooted after that and tried to go into Titanium Backup and found out whatever it did, did NOT root my phone.

Is there something I needed to do to my SD card to prep before running the unrevoked method? Also, when I go into HBOOT, it checks for some PCDIAG file (hard to read b/c it flashes it very fast) and says it's not found... is this normal?

Sorry for the ignorance - I'm trying to catch up with everything here. Thanks in advance!

Ok, weird thing.. I installed MyBackup Pro and it said that my phone was rooted and would I like to use the advanced features.... so maybe it's rooted but I still can't uninstall the bloatware? Is that the NAND access that I've read about?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fizzlepop:
Ok, just ran the Unrevoked again.. it looks like I'm rooted, but for whatever reason, I can't remove the bloatware system apps. Everything runs the way it's supposed to until I boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery..

Where the error messages start is here:

Verifying system type...

E:unsupported radio version

E:Update failed. Check /sdcard/soff.log

E:Error in /data/local/unrevoked-forever.zip (Status 42)

Installation aborted.

/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.

Any ideas??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fizzlepop:
Ok, for some reason, some apps that are requiring root work, but I still can't uninstall the system app bloatware. Then when I try to mount the \system through ADB, it says permission denied.

I tried to install Titanium Backup and it said my phone wasn't rooted.

At this point, I have no idea if I'm rooted or partially rooted or what.

This sucks...

I would seriously pay somebody to fix this for me. No joke.. I'm about to smash this GD phone against the floor.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrummingLevi:
Ok so you were right about the old PC36IMG.zip and I erased it. I downloaded all of the files from unrevoked.com and I followed the instructions from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OmPcT4pcks I updated the driver and everything was going smooth until I ran the .exe that I downloaded from the unrevoked website. I got a message saying:

Failed to push Recovery. Terminating

Recovery image. ClockworkMod Recovery

Thanks for your help so far.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
ok for titanium backup if you are haveing problems then click the problem button to update busybox. issue one fixed for bloat ware titanium backup or root explorer will remove them easiest is titanium backup. with adb type #su to gain root access in adb let me know if that helps
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
what hboot are you on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrummingLevi:
Hboot .97 or .097

I'm not on 2.02
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
how about the painless flash and root did that one not work for you either?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrummingLevi:
I'm a little confused on which one you are talking about. I went to unrevoked.com, selected the Evo, and then it said Unrevoked 3 and Unrevoked Forever. I did the first option. That one gave me the failed recovery message.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
yeah thats the painless one might be a bad download but can you still get in to adb?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrummingLevi:
Yeah I was thinking about downloading it again. I was trying to avoid adb at all costs, but it looks like I might have to use it. Know of any good tutorials?

Thanks for your help! It partially worked... Ok, I clicked the problem button and updated busybox.. worked! I am able to go in and select stuff to uninstall.. selected Nascar and a few others and it gave me a notification that they were uninstalled. I exited the program and rebooted.. they're still there.

Started up Titanium again and the four I chose to uninstall are still in there, but moved to the top. I go into preferences and check Chuck Norris mode, select the 4 programs to uninstall. Notifications... reboot... STILL THERE! Wtf??

Maybe I'm not understanding all the steps to this Titanium backup? After I select the programs and select Un-install.. is that all I need to do and then reboot? Because I've done it three times now.. btw, not sure if rebooting means holding down the power button and thenturning my phone completely off and then on again, but that's what I've been doing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
try a custom rom yet?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fizzlepop:
No... how do I do that? And does that wipe all of my data?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fizzlepop:
I cannot ****ING believe how hard it is to simply remove something as stupid as the NASCAR app... If I were face to face w/ the idiot that made the decision to lock this icon on there, I would bash his face in with a claw end of a hammer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
lol at the comment! but flashing a custom rom is easy pic the one you like there is many to chose from. sense wise i would recommend either fresh or azreal and myn (I personaly don't like myn's it isn't stable on my phone but alot of others have had success with it) and aosp or Android Open Source Program you have cm6. download your rom of choice and then flash it through your custom recovery to witch i recommend Amon Ra. yes it does wipe data save your contacts to your gmail so you don't lose them as for your apps you can redownload them and anyone you paid for is linked to your gmail so you don't have to pay for them again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fizzlepop:
Gotcha... Here's my 2nd question... now that my device is rooted, am I not able to do any OTA updates from Sprint/HTC?

After I find the ROM I need, how would I "flash" it to custom recovery? Sorry - that part was never successful on my phone. Also, I think I have ClockworkMod on mine, currently.. how do I change that to Amon Ra?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
for the first question no you cannot accept any ota's from sprint/htc you will most likley lose root to change from clockwork to amon easiest way download rom manager and download the file i'm attaching (don't forget to unzip it) and place it in the root of your sd card and rom manager will flash amon on to your phone as for the rom flashing most rom threads have a instructable on how to flash their rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fizzlepop:
Ok, I copied the image to the root of my SD card and when I went into ROM manager, I told it to "Flash Alternate Recovery" RA Recover v1.8.0. Rebooted, went back into ROM manager and it says Current Recovery: RA Recovery v1.8.0.

But when I reboot into recovery, it's still Clockwork Mod??

For some reason I'm rooted, but I don't think I have my NAND unlocked. I found the thread for that and tried following instructions to do that, but when loading PC36IMG.zip, it gave me an error "Main version is older!" So that tutorial ended there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fizzlepop:
I think I'm gonna give up... I keep running into one process that requires another process and there's always failure somewhere along the line.

I went back into Titanium Backup and pressed and held down on the Nascar app and it gave me a menu with an option to force a remove of the app (for NAND-locked phones) and said it would reboot twice. Well, it rebooted and went into a black screen with nothing but the Android guy w/ the exclamation mark over his head like "your phone is phucked, dude.."

So I did a battery pull and now I'm back to normal, thankfully...

I give up, Sprint... I'll learn to love NASCAR.. you won.

Thanks for all your help, though, Jbcarrera... I think unless I find someone local that's rooted a bunch of phones successfully, I probably won't be able to take it any further than I've done.

I accidentally replace the App Drawer shortcut on my middle dock icon with my cam, how do I get the App Drawer shortcut back? I tried resetting AWD but its still there!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakerjaks:
. anyone? .
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
i did the same. seems to be a new 'feature' of ADW located at Menu -> Settings -> ADW -> UI Settings -> Main Dock Style

i was able to get the desired center icon back by toggling to a 3 button bar then back to a 5 button bar. you could also try restoring a prior adw backup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakerjaks:
the issue is I'm already using 5 button layout so when i change to 3 and then back to 5 it does not give me any empty slots because there all use up. I do not want to do a nandroid backup for something as silly as this.. theres gotta be a easier way.

Isn't there a App Drawer shortcut Icon I can put on homescreen and then drag to middle dock icon?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neckface:
Long press on your home screen, custom shortcut, pick your activity, launcher actions, open close app drawer, okay.

Drop it where ever you want.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakerjaks:
too late im already doin nandroid backup =\ but ill give that a try to see if it works thxs

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakerjaks:
yes it did thank you!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandpa:
I bet you did it while trying to trash a shortcut :), instinctively the drag goes to the old location of the trash can. Happened to me twice and was able to correct it like neckface described it.

OMG thanks dude, was showing a friend my phone and trying to get him to go with android, and accidently did that, and tried all ADW settings and still couldn't fix it...

thanks again man, I thought I was gonna have to do all those back-ups and stuff.
[Epic 4G General] Pvt WhoOkid:
So I'm new to this phone and I'm unsure about its backup process and its restore process. I come from the moto cliq phone and that phone had a different custom recovery that in my opinion was better.

With this clockwork recovery unless I'm doing something wrong I get force closes left and right when I do a rom restore. So what happens is I completely restore the rom and as soon as the phone loads into it everything will give me force close warnings which in return never let's me fully load in, making the restore crap! Because I have to start fresh.

So could anyone here tell me the proper process of backing up my rom/ restoring, using this clockwork recovery? Or is this a known bug? Rom I was using was EE 1.2.9.

Thank you for any sorta help.

- Its just going to be Epic!
[Epic 4G General] bilestoad:
I can't tell right off, because EE is updated now, but is EE 1.2.9 a froyo ROM? Some apps will FC because they are NOT for froyo. If you did the backup from eclair and then flashed to a Froyo rom you may see those FCs.

You might try booting into clockwork, wiping the cache and user data and system, then doing an advanced restore and restoring just the data. But again, apps that are not supposed to run on froyo will fc.

Also, it sounds like you can re-load everything fresh with too much hassle - you've had lots of practice by now - why not try flashing a new EE ROM like 2.0.0.01. Follow the instructions and FLASH the DK17 modem. Then you can reload your apps from the market and do an updated nandroid/clockwork backup.
[Epic 4G General] Pvt WhoOkid:
EE 1.2.9 is the rom before the froyo beta drop that he did. When I do backups everything goes smoothly, but when I restore and I just hit restore a rom it seems to restore fine, but the min I pass the load up screen all I get is force close for everything.

I don't know if I'm doing my back ups or restores wrong or if maybe it could be the rom? But somehow I doubt its the rom. I'm trying to figure out if there's a procress to backup or restore that I'm doing wrong?

All I hit is back up when doing my nandroid and to restore I just hit restore, I didn't do advance restore. Any tips?

Thanks for the reply.

- Its just going to be Epic!
[Epic 4G General] s9ortner:
Are you using a theme? Any time I have tried to restore a theme it has caused endless force closes.
[Epic 4G General] bilestoad:
So at some point your phone is runnign with NO fc's? And then you back up and restore to test the backup, and suddenly you have FCs? You should not get FC's from restoring a nandroid backup that you had just made from a flawless ROM.

It's possible that one of your resident programs is conflicting with the others - if you go into settings, applications, running services, do you see anything there that perhaps should not be there?
[Epic 4G General] Pvt WhoOkid:
I've never used a theme for my epic, none really catch my eye.

- Its just going to be Epic!
[Epic 4G General] Pvt WhoOkid:
You're exactly correct. A perfect example is right now I'm running EE 1.2.9 with no force closing problems with all my apps installed and everything is running smoothly, I made a back up and then wiped my phone completely of everything.

Then went ahead and tried hitting restore, everything seemed to have restored because I got no errors in recovery but the min the phone loaded into home screen I get errors like "launcher pro force close, beautiful widgets force close." And so on.. I've clicked over 100 times force close and everything seems to give to me force close errors renderng my phone useless, after the system restore.

So I had to start fresh again and just reinstalled everything and everything is working fine. Weird huh? I don't know what I could be doing wrong.

Thanks for the help.

- Its just going to be Epic!
[Epic 4G General] skeeterslint:
You need to do an advanced restore and only restore data. Basically you flashing a 2.1 rom over a 2.2 rom this will break things. Since you are going from 2.1 to 2.2 your best bet is to reinstall all your apps from scratch or use titanium backup to restore your apps. You are bringing in data from 2.1 to 2.2 that shouldn't be there that is why your getting fc's.
[Epic 4G General] Pvt WhoOkid:
I'm not updating to 2.2 yet. This all is happening on 2.1 using EE 1.2.9 (eclair.) Which doesn't make sense to me at all. Unless something is wrong with clockwork recovery?

- Its just going to be Epic!

I ended up getting my phone to where it will not boot past the boot animation screen. I haven't flashed sprecovery.spf so I only have the stock bootloader.

[Droid 2 General] bpfx:
From here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9450285

For the record, my process was the following to repair a "Code Corrupt" in bootloader on the Droid 2:

- Download RSD Lite, the bootloader SBF, and the 2.3.20 SBF from MDW.

- Turn phone on, load bootloader SBF via RSD Lite

- The phone will restart, hold "X", and boot into recovery.

- Wipe all

- Pull battery

- Replace battery, hold "Up" on power up (back to flash mode, "Code Corrupt" should be gone)

- Flash SBF

- Pull battery when completed, ("Code Corrupt" will show back up)

- Reload bootloader SBF

- When completed, phone should boot back into a freshly flashed 2.3.20

This was my process, but yours may differ slightly.

Since Virginmedia in the UK made the changes to their email system, my old XML file for importing my blueyonder email address no longer works - my phones does not receive email (but can send correctly).

It just does not seem to download it - although I can see the emails there via the webmail interface.

Does anyone have a currently working xml for a blueyonder email address that they could share (obviously chnage the username and password bit).

I cannot get it to download the emails manually (ignoring the xml) either.

I partitioned my SD card via ROM Manager yesterday to get more space for apps. I'd made a complete backup of the SD card before partitioning and put it on my PC. After the partitioning which went without probs I pasted everything back on the card. But I noticed that the ClockworkMod backups were not there. They were still on the PC but had not been transferred over, so I manually put them in the ClockworkMod folder.

But now I'm not able to go into recovery mode any more. The phone just gets stuck on the screen with an exclamation point icon. Holding power and volume up button to display the system recovery interface doesn't work either. The only solution is to pull the battery. The bootloader is unlocked.

Also, I've tried a few apps (z4root & Universal Androot) to root the phone without luck. I'd really like to root it to see if I can use RomManager to flash a recovery image.

I'm currently running on stock ROM version FRG83D but would prefer to go back to Cyanogen as I like the trackball wake, etc.

Please help me find a solution to this...:confused:

Hi, I just retired my iphone 3g and I picked up a brand new samsung captivate, and I could not be happier. I'm a complete noob to the rooting world, and I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction? I have googled android for noobs, but I tend to find more advanced topics and pages. I need to learn the basics first, but I cannot find anything on which bloatware i can delete upon rooting, and how can I put themes and make my own themes for my android..

If i posted this is in the wrong section, i apologize.

Thank you for your help :D

Go on here to the subforum of your phone, and spend a few hours reading all the popular rooting threads. theres no better way to learn than to read what others have done.

While using phone (longer) or while playing games with Brightness set to 70-80% the phone tends to overheat and freeze.

But when brightness is set to automatic (in my current enviroment its mostly low brigthnes) the whone doesnt overheat or freeze.

Is this behavior normal for HD2. IM using it for 4 days now.

Freeze on heating is an issue with the HD2. Mostly when batt-temp goes over 45 °C.

[Galaxy Tab General] pda_crazy:
Hi All,

I bought my galaxy tab yesterday from Currys UK. I have been a very happy user of HTC Desire and now i thought to move to bigger screen.

Today, when I connected my phone using Samsung Kies, it informed that there are new firmware (*JJ7) available for tab. My tab currently has firmware *JJ3. I am currently installing the upgrade using Kies but its kindda slow.

Few questions --

1. Firmware upgrade - I think it is same as we say ROM upgrade in HTC phones. Right?

2. In Desire, I used to get OTA (Over the air) upgrade. Is this not the case in Samsung? Will I always get updates via PC? if yes then what a shame?

3. Not sure what benefit I am gonna get after firmware upgrade but its good to be on latest official version.

Thanks in advance.

JM
[Galaxy Tab General] daniel.weck:
With the unofficial JM6 ROM (see the other discussion thread in this forum), there is a "Software Update" service that runs in the background, presumably to check for the latest available version of vendor-provided features...or maybe it checks for the latest Samsung stuff...not sure.

Let us know how it goes with the official firmware update.
[Galaxy Tab General] pda_crazy:
Hi,

After firmware upgrade, i dont see any major difference, in fact i just used my new galaxy tab for few hrs so probably i would not be able to make a judgement what's the difference.

But its working very well. If you have any specific question then i can try to answer that.

One thing, I am using Google talk on my tab, messages are not in proper sorted order as per date. It's been sorted as per person which means I am getting all the other side messages on the top.

Could you please help me to figure out how can i rectify it or Do I need to upgrade my Gtalk App. Unfortunatly I am not getting this app in Mrket place.

Regards,

JM

Can you do me a favour, open your browser and go to the UK's PeakFM web site and see if you can view the page, click on any of the boxed links and navigate correctly through the web site.

I am finding certain web sites such as this and others are not being displayed correctly, so if the update has cured that I would jump at upgrading.

Thanks. :)
[Galaxy Tab General] AndyGarton:
Hi, could you let me know if this upgrade wiped your Tab please? i.e. you had to reinstall all apps, redo all home screen customization etc?
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Correct.

Have you seen the size of the firmware packages for the tab? Many people won't be too keen on downloading around 300MB over their cell connection.

Having to plug it into the PC once every few months is not that much of a chore.

No-one has yet to find an official changelog for any of the versions of the firmware, Samsung is unlikely to release this information to the public.
[Galaxy Tab General] kupuguy:
No, all my apps are intact after applying the update.

I haven't seen the email app crash since the update (it used to crash reliably every 2nd time) and I haven't had the camera preview messed up either. Of course either of these might just be luck, but here's hoping.
[Galaxy Tab General] gseth:
I just updated the firmware.

All the bugs that i know of is still there, the browser lag, the video player thumbnail generation lag, etc.

Don't know what has been fixed here, unless i can see a changelog and test it.

My phone version has been updated from J16 to JJ1.

PDA JJ1 to JK3.

EDIT: The Gallery Loading is faster...ie. it generates the thumbnails almost instantly now. I have around 5-8 folders with over 1 GB of images inside.
