when did u plugg ur phone in dowload mode?

try this ... load odin ... turn ur phone off!!! plugg it to the computure so when u see its charging for 30 sec. Then put the cellphone into download mode... and that should work
[Epic 4G General] ghsthntr:
Yea...this post made my brain hurt...and of course didn't change anything...but..thanks?
[Epic 4G General] ghsthntr:
Here's another piece of info that may help nail down the problem...

Odin is able to see the phone if I boot into Clockwork recovery mode but because clockwork is up the phone can't receive a flash but Odin does see the phone with no problem. It just still won't see the phone when booted into download mode.
[Epic 4G General] windyhawk:
I use windows7 64 too. I encountered tons of problems when trying to flash my epic. first my computer doesn't recognize my phone in download mode. after i wipe out all the drivers and reinstall them. finally i get my computer recognize it under download mode, but Odin froze every time during the flash.

Finally, i tried on another desktop computer with windows XP. Everything went perfectly. So maybe you should try that too.
[Epic 4G General] Pirate-M.Lifnen:
I cannot connect to my Epic in download mode on mac os x either.

I was trying to install a lag fix, and now all my phone will do when powering on is show switch between the normal Samsung screen, and another reading "Samgung GT I9000".

I can still boot into Clockwork Recovery. But OS X will not recognize my phone.

Either that, or Heimdall isn't recognizing it and won't let me flash.

Help! Any ideas?
[Epic 4G General] Pirate-M.Lifnen:
Really!?! No one has any idea? Please guys, I'm just sitting here with a broken phone, there must be a way for me to fix this.
[Epic 4G General] ranchosteve:
I had the same problem, I couldn't connect it to 3 of my pc's. 2 xp's and one windows 7. Turned out the port on the phone it self was broken, had to take it sprint and get it replaced.
[Epic 4G General] Benjamin Dobell:
If OS X isn't recognising your phone it's likely your phone has the buggy secondary bootloader. Samsung corrected the bootloader for at least the GT-I9000 JPA firmware but I'm unsure if they have done so for other devices or firmware releases.

Unfortunately the only solution then is to use Windows or Linux. If you don't have access to a system running either of these OS then I recommend downloading a 64-bit release (assuming your PC has a 64-bit CPU) of Ubuntu, then you can download the Heimdall binaries from my website and use it to recover your phone.
[Epic 4G General] rmartinez2:
i had an extremely similar issue as to what you are having. I have 3 win 7 machines and 1 xp, none worked. I went to a friends house he has 2 win 7s and an xp also didnt work. I did a general search and found all kinds of crap. One dude something about using his chicks blackberry usb cord and suddenly it worked on any and all of the machines it had previously not worked. so at the time im reading this on my chicks laptop which has a damn blackberry cord attached to it chargin her evo(go figure) ... anyway u didnt need the whole story but i have nothing to do right now.

Point is everyone says try different cords, i say try the damn blackberry cord if you happen to have one or a friend that has one.
[Epic 4G General] ldartez:
Is it the hardware on the Macbook pro itself? or just the OS? in other words, If I were to partition my macbook with ubuntu would that work with heimdall? would it be able to recognize my phone while it's in download mode as opposed to OSX, which couldn't...?
[Epic 4G General] Benjamin Dobell:
In this particular instance Apple haven't done anything wrong at all, both their hardware and software is fine. The issue is that Samsung are distributing secondary bootloaders that aren't complaint with the USB specifications.

Whilst that is annoying, the good news for you is that you can simply install Linux (Ubuntu etc.) or Windows on your Macbook and you'll be able to flash just fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whamsandwich:
Tomorrow I am planning on flashing my HTC Evo 4g to MetroPCS

I was wondering when a phone is flashed to a particular service, does that mean the phone is otherwise left un-upgradable?

I'm not all too certain as to what happens to the phone when it is flashed to another service. Are they modifying the rom? or rooting the phone?

MOD EDIT: MOVED TO EVO FORUM...CHEERS :)

if you have a T mobile US HD2, Its dead, bad radio Flash,

Next time read the stickies, and always ask befre doing anything

There is NO WAY you can revive your phone EXCEPT JTAG,

find out a local shop that can do it for you,

ELSE

TRY HTC warranty,

Best regds
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norodaigh:
HTC Warranty wont cover it, you jail-broke the phone all warranties are then void.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlydiard:
If you cannot even get into the bootloader, and JTAG is the only hope, send it to HTC for repairs. They most likely will not check under these circumstances, and probably just replace the motherboard. That seems to be the experience of others in this forum who have bricked their phones in a similar fashion and sent it to an HTC repair center.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norodaigh:
I understand what your saying but if he bricked it by doing a hspl HTC will find it if they check, im not saying they will check for it but if they do he wont get the repair for nothing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
its a radio brick, htc wont know its been hspl'd unless they jtag it back to life, which they probably wont.....

good chance of a warranty replacement, its not ethical but hey... you would do the same right? I know I would.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norodaigh:
Ok you got me, I would but im not saying they will check it out im simply saying that cause he tried to hack it if they do check his warranty is void, simples.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
yeah I misread your pst, sorry :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norodaigh:
NP pandaman np
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
except they can't check it, because to get it to start will require jtag ing it, which will reset the spl, so no evidence. (not to mention they won't go that far in a service center, they'll see it's dead, and either swap out the board or send out a refurb, the dead board will go to a different center to be reprocessed, by which time you will have your replacement.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norodaigh:
OOOoooooo fancy pants lol (jkin)

I didnt know that, more stuff to look into now, keeps me busy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norodaigh:
Actually sorry read this:

So JTAG gives you the ability to test a:

Device and access internal scan

Board and program devices

System and verify assembly of boards to daughter cards, multichip modules (MCMs) and to other boards on the backplane

If you would like to get started implementing boundary scan using PC-based tools, our customers find success combining the following four elements

So it will give you the information of the spl without resetting it automatically. For the spl to be reset the engineer would have to reset it using the JTAG system. It dosnt automatically reset the spl like you said so they could see if it was hspl'd.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vedy33:
dude i just bricked my phone a month ago for Tmobile USA

my phone was dead no LED nothing no usb connectiong, had a tmobile store try batterys diff chargers diff usb nothing worked

simple answer: exchange it while you can, they cant tell u did HSPL or anything. I got my replacement and to be sure i wasn't charged i called them and they said everything is fine.

I told them i left the phone charging over night i woke up and it was dead.

They did try to catch me in a lie when they asked when this happend i told them i dont remember sometime last week. They can see when your phone was last used so make sure you know when you bricked it and know when it stoped working completley
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norodaigh:
Dude the whole point im making is IF THEY CHECK FOR IT THEY CAN SEE IF ITS BEEN HSPL'D....jesus (sorry for caps)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
yes jtag will allow you to read that info,,,,,, on a chip that has that info in place. if its been corrupted, as would be suggested by the lack of any bootloader or response of any kind, it's safe to assume they aren't going to take a bit by bit dump and try to reconstruct any unaffected bits of data in the hope it will be the few tiny bits that differentiate spl from hspl(the spl code is probably almost identical to the hspl code). that's a task for a forensic data analyst, not a 9 to 5 returns bench tech.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlydiard:
Thanks Samsamuel for clearing stating the situation. It verifies the experience of others who have returned their HD2s after bricking them. It would be very sad for the OP if he feared to send his HD2 back to HTC for repairs and had no shops nearby that could do the work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumbo72:
Would putting it in the microwave for a few seconds help or is that a myth?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetsetwilly:
No, that's a chicken tikka.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norodaigh:
Y are you continuing with this, read above you agreed with me, thats all I was saying, if they wanted to check they could, end of story, move on plz.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norodaigh:
It could work, im sorry but the first response to this was hilarious...No thats a chicken tikka.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlydiard:
There is one difference between what you and Samsamuel are saying and it is this: If the OP follows your logic, he would not send his HD2 into HTC for repairs as he would fear being "caught". If the OP follows what Samsamuel writes he will send his HD2 to HTC for repairs, and in all likelihood have it repaired with no problems, just as have other HD2 owners who have bricked their phones. You can do a search in this forum to find others who have had this experience.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norodaigh:
He was saying that a JTAG would automatically reset the spl, i researched it and found out it wasnt true, what is everyone overcomplicating this point for?

**sobs**...I know im ginger but this is taking the piss lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlydiard:
I rest my case, if the OP follows you he will not send his phone to HTC for repairs, if he follows Samsamuel he will send it back to HTC for repairs. That is what I am saying.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norodaigh:
Never mind your talking about something completely different now. I made my point if you cant comprehend then make up another section of this topic to focus on.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
The OP has basically two options:

1. He admits that he has bricked his phone and the only way to recoup the money paid for the HD2 is to sell it for parts and is a bit wiser.

2. Send it back to HTC for repair - telling them that it wouldn't start after an overnight charge. This will lead to 1 of 2 outcomes:

2.1 HTC Repairs do a thorough investigation and determine that the phone has been HSPL'd and thus violated the warranty - the OP is then back to option 1.

2.2 HTC Repairs are too busy fixing digitisers, USB ports and phone clocks not keeping the correct time that they quickly determine that it is cheaper just to swap motherboards. The OP gets back his phone at no cost and learns to read post carefully before flashing any ROM/Radio/HSPL.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norodaigh:
Sorted, thanks. I've been saying 2.1 for a bit but its above some people it seems.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlydiard:
You certainly deserve high marks for doggedly sticking to a point, not conceding any points to anyone who dares to disagree with you, and assuming that anyone who disagrees with you lacks intelligence.

Perhaps if you reread Samsamuel's second post in this thread you may better understand why 2.1 is a very unlikely outcome, while 2.2 is a very likely outcome that matches the results of other XDAers who have bricked their phones and sent them back to HTC for repairs. If 2.1 is so likely to happen, why have we not seen reports of this on the forum, while in this thread we even have one fellow who bricked his phone and HTC fixed it?

What bothers me about your posts is that you seem to be more intent on proving your point and proving that only your are right at any and all costs rather than giving constructive information that will actually help the OP choose a reasonable course of action.

Somehow I think that the XDA spirit of offering constructive information to a person requesting information is being lost in this thread just because one person doggedly stands by a possibility that is unlikely, and will not concede or compromise on any points. What should have been a simple intellectual and technical discussion has become an emotional forum for one person to bolster his own ego.

This is my last reply to any of your posts. I of course now know from your above post that I do not have the intelligence to be debating with you.

I assume the OP has enough intelligence to dig his way through these posts and make an intelligent decision on his own course of action.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norodaigh:
I do not think that other people lack intelligence because they don't agree with me so point one. My simple point being made was that ''IF'' they checked then they ''COULD'' tell if it was HSPL'D. This has gone from a argument/discussion between us to a personal attack on me which is uncalled for. I never stated your supposed stupidity nor will I. I have read through the thread btw and know where I am coming from. In saying all of this; I apologise for the excessive argument we have had on this thread and for any offence I may have caused to you. I did not attack you personally and never said which is a more likely outcome; I simply was mentioning that ''IF'' they checked then they would notice it had been HSPL'D and therefore the warranty was voided.

I did not personally attack you and we have both been as guilty, as you stated "at any and all costs rather than giving constructive information that will actually help the OP choose a reasonable course of action" we are both guilty of this by continuing with the argument. I apologise again and hope that this clash can be forgotten.

Again dude I am sorry.

Neill O'Rodaigh
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlydiard:
I too am sorry as I did overstate the situation in that post.

Anyway, I too apologize for being too personal, and also hope that the clash is already forgotten.

I guess the OP will make his own decision on all of this. I think we scared the bejeebies out of him with our discussion, so he is unlikely to post again.

Peace

I got the 8000mah model for 40 a few months ago from Woot and these are great chargers.
[EVO 4G General] wiltok:
I'm curious, what is the advantage of this over just having a couple Ebay spare batteries and external charger? It seems like the spare batteries are a lot smaller and you can just swap them out. Not trying to a make a point or anyting - but I just dont understand the advantage. I actually have four batteries and 2 chargers and have at least one spare with me at all times. And I got those for cheaper than this Energizer product. Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
Alot of people do not like having to take their case and battery cover off all of the time to switch batteries. I have broken two of my Seidio cases becuase of having to take it off once a day to change my battery.
[EVO 4G General] wiltok:
Makes sense. I guess it is kind of pain to reboot and everything. I have a relative that works at Energizer and prob get me one for very cheap. Might try it out...
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
This is a solution for all my gadgets. Ipod, ipad, cell phone, bluetooth headphones etc can all charge off of one pack. whereas a second battery only helps the evo. sweet find, but like the stroths said, i think i'm gonna wait for an 8000mah

thanks for telling me about woot, looks kewl
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
Dude, just wait till they do a woot-off. they sell one item at a time until it sells out, then load up another item and so on all day long. it's awesome!

Here is an alternative that I use and is a 5400

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NTYYXY/ref=oss_product

You can connect two devices if you have the other cable. I like it and it charges my evo about three times from 30% to 100%

BTW.. You have to push the ON button for it to charge your EVO. There was one dumb arse complaining about it but it tells you in the instructions that you have to turn it ON for it to work.
[EVO 4G General] mitchellvii:
A 8000 mah external battery is gonna be a friggin BRICK. Hope you have big pockets.
[EVO 4G General] montecristo1:
I bought two energizer portable battery chargers- on sale once. I had a military exercise and was going to be in areas where no electrical outlets. Charged them fully and was happy until the freaking port of the energizer charger caved in. Took them BOTH back and got my money back and bought two 3500mAh batteries on ebay instead the next day. I just plugged the usb cable that came with it gently and it broked off inside. It ain't military grade....
[HTC Aria General] emigre:
Hi again everyone!

This may sound like a stupid question, but I've been reading up on a lot of apps that disables the HTC Sense features (ie. Launcher Pro, Cyanogen ROM, etc).

I'm asking myself this question: What are the features of HTC Sense? What will we be missing if it's disabled? Smooth scrolling? Animations?

I read up on the HTC website but of course it's more marketing than informative *duh!*

Thanks for being patient with me :p
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Htc_sense
[HTC Aria General] Product F(RED):
You'll get smoother animations and transitions between apps, but you can't use any HTC Sense widgets.
[HTC Aria General] emigre:
Thanks for the response zervic and Product F(RED)!

I just read the link that you provided. In summary, HTC Sense is just a smooth-scrolling, animated user-interface comprising of several applications & widgets for the Android, such as:

# Friend Stream

# Camera

# Gallery (Pictures)

# Calculator

# Calendar

# Desk Clock

# Contacts

# Music (player and library)

# Weather

etc.

That's it! Wonder what the big deal is…

Will anyone convince me I do not want to lose Sense at all?
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
The two main things that work in Sense but not in CM6/AOSP are Flash Lite and FM Radio. Flash Lite is HTC's proprietary "lite" version of Flash that will allow you to view some of the more basic types of Flash on webpages (but not things like streaming videos or music). It's kind of pointless though because that basically means the only thing you can view are Flash ads... lol. Personally I haven't missed it.

Anyway, there's no need to "convince" you. You should just do a Nandroid backup then install CM6. If you don't like it, just load the backup and you're right back where you started like nothing happened.
[HTC Aria General] tilt4life2:
I have been meaning to ask this question but I don't want to open another thread so I will ask here.

I am leaning towards making the jump to CM6, but I keep seeing that it has no Flash Lite or Flash 10.

Can you elaborate on that a little more? Does that affect my web browser?

I had the Tilt and that didn't have Flash and web browsing sucked. Will I have to deal with that again? Thanks.
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
On Sense you can temporary disable Flash Lite through the browser settings, so if you're curious to see what it'd be like, just disable Flash Lite and see if it causes any problems for the sites you usually visit. Personally I don't think you'll miss it.
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
AOSP > Sense

Freedom > conformity

Sense is just HTCs way of making android their own. Using a rom without sense means you can make android your own instead of the way HTC thinks you want it. Samsung and Motorola both have their own versions as well (I'm sure others do too, but those are the only two I've others I've used. I personality prefer the extra customization you can achieve with an ASOP based rom. If that's not important then theres no reason not to stick with the stock sense ui.
[HTC Aria General] Lord Alekosh:
The Aria is incapable of flash 10.
[HTC Aria General] emigre:
Hmm… Now I'm just speechless. I don't know what to say. Guess the best way is to flash different ROMs and try them out myself and see which ones I like best.

Thanks for participating people!
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
Not exactly. Adobe has designed Flash for Android to rely on an instruction set that is not supported by the Aria's processor. It would still be possible for Adobe to create another version of Flash that WOULD work on Aria in the future (for the sake of expanding Flash support to more devices), although to date they haven't really given any indication that they would do that. I just wanted to point out that there is some hope still, although I wouldn't call myself optimistic.
[HTC Aria General] Product F(RED):
Yes, but the Aria's processor isn't fast enough for smooth playback anyways.
[HTC Aria General] Ki77erB:
I had a stock Aria with Sense for several months and loved every bit of it...then I flashed Cyongenmod and I love it even more. Somethings arent as "pretty" as with sense but you get the added benefit of making it look the way you want. The level of customization is incredible and I dont miss Sense at all.

For those that miss the Sense weather/clock on the home screen, Just Google "Fancy Widget"...its exactly the same thing but without the cool weather animation thing that you get after unlocking from the lock screen. I think it was pulled from the market, but you can still find it. I have the apk if you cant.

Just do what others have said. Nandroid back up your current ROM, flash a new one and see how you like it for a few weeks. If you dont, go back to your old ROM. Its super easy.
[HTC Aria General] Product F(RED):
It's fancy widget 1.30. Don't say you're going to offer out because that's part piracy. Pointing them in the right direction isn't breaking any rules though.
