[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
maybe you should try slashing the stock pc36img.zip maybe that will get you back on track.

Edit: this is the link to the thread with the stock pc36img.zip

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=791019

and just for future reference. it is not that hard to do a search of the information that is needed. while i was here posting these things i found with the search all the info i hae given. just food for thought.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
What caguirr4 said. With that file (or since you have s-off you can TRY getting a rom zip and renaming it to pc36img.zip) your phone will read it automatically when you boot using the volume down technique. That should at least get your phone to boot up and you can continue trouble shooting from there if you have more problems.

Remember: Conserve your battery! You don't want the juice to run out while the phone is in the middle of flashing something. THAT is how bricks are made.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerozr1:
i ran the update you gave me, the phone said that all the stages of the update were sucessful and asked me to reboot, i did so and now my phone won't power on and when i plug it into the wall it won't show any charging lights.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
You ran the updates that who gave you? Various things were suggested on this thread.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerozr1:
sorry for not clarifying,i ran the original stock image that was linked to me by caguirr4 in post #9. According to the update it ran fine but after that the phone died when it had me reboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
Ok, so you press the power button, and it does nothing? That doesn't sound good at all. Hopefully, your battery is just dead and the drivers for the USB port didn't install right. In which case, you need this:

Do you have any extra batteries you can try to make sure that battery isn't just dead?

I ended up taking it to a sprint service center, they tested the phone with thier own battery and the phone was dead. they are replacing the phone for me now. thanks you everyone for trying to help.

You could of just overwritten the ENG bootloader u had installed...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] embmicro:
I am having the exact same problem. I can get to the bootloader but not recovery. Here's my specs

SUPERSONIC EVT2-2 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.79.0000

MICROP-041f

TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab

RADIO-2.15.00.07.21

I had cyanogen 6.1.1 installed on it and it was was working fine. I just felt the thing vibrate and took it out of my pocket to see the "htc EVO 4G" screen and it just keeps rebooting unless I hold the volume button to get into the bootloader.

I REALLY don't want the stock firmware back on here and would like to avoid loosing root if possible.

I tried putting the PC36IMG.zip from here and at first it asked me if I wanted to flash it and after the first thing it restarted and now gives an error Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

Any ideas? I would really like to keep this phone.

Thanks,

Justin
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] embmicro:
I've tried basically everything I can think of. After attempting to flash the first PC36IMG.zip file I get the main version error for every other one.

Is there somewhere I can get the latest PC36IMG that will be newer and I can try to flash? At this point I don't really care if I lose root (if I haven't already) I just want my phone back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
Just run the ruu.exe and get it back to stock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] embmicro:
I tried that. I even tried flashing the stock PC36IMG.zip (which flashed successfully) but I had the same problem. I finally gave up after like 8 hours of working on it and took it into Sprint. I am going to pick it up at 7. They said if they couldn't fix it they would give me a new one for $35 since I'm out of warranty which doesn't seem bad.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
For the most part your phone was bricked, it would take sone one from htc to recover it from there and even then it would be a total pain for them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Yours is different, it is flashing some positions ok. What do you mean when you say 'rootboot'?

Guys please help!

My phone was going slow so I turned it off. then when i turned it back on it wont reboot. it would just take me straight to the fastboot screen.

i am stock rooted and was running netarchy toastmod 4.3.4 cfs-havs-nosbc

I tried to reflash the kernel and no good.

I tried reflashing PC36IMG and it succesfully does but when attempting to reboot it takes me back to the fastboot.

I finally had no choice but to clear all storage hoping for my phone to at least turn back on and same thing!

I tried two different memory cards and it's still no good. Please help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
Your boot.img is borked

Reflash your rom. Can do sprint lovers or there is the stock rooted you can download from the dev section

@NewZJ okay I will give Sprint Lovers a try. Hope that works.
[Android Software Development] Ben74:
i have a problem i hope some experienced hacker can help me with. i'm messing with my NookColor, and there is a "secret" settings window that can only be accessed via an inconvenient trick, to make a long story short. i can see this activity being launched in logcat:

I/ActivityManager( 847): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings bnds=[33,792][443,856] }

obviously, this is an interesting activity that i'd like to be able to launch at will. i have tried to launch this activity from a program i'm working on, but i get a FC when i do this:

Intent settings = new Intent("android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS")
.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.android.settings", ".DevelopmentSettings"));
startActivity(settings);

it seems like this should work, but i get this from logcat:

I/ActivityManager( 847): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS cmp=com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings }
D/AndroidRuntime(18823): Shutting down VM
W/dalvikvm(18823): threadid=3: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4001b170)
E/AndroidRuntime(18823): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception
E/AndroidRuntime(18823): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

notice that the first line almost exactly matches the line from logcat at the top of my post, where the settings window was actually shown. here they are next to each other, for comparison.

I/ActivityManager( 847): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings bnds=[33,792][443,856] }
I/ActivityManager( 847): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS cmp=com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings }

the only differences are the flg=0x10200000 and bnds=[33,792][443,856]. what do these mean? what am i missing from my intent?

thanks...
[Android Software Development] Ben74:
ok, i got the two logcat lines to match perfectly by doing this:

Intent settings = new Intent("android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS");
settings.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.android.settings", ".DevelopmentSettings"));
settings.addFlags(270532608);
settings.setSourceBounds(new Rect(33,792,443,856));
startActivity(settings);

but it still crashes with the following in logcat:

I/ActivityManager( 847): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings bnds=[33,792][443,856] }
D/AndroidRuntime(22791): Shutting down VM
W/dalvikvm(22791): threadid=3: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4001b170)

E/AndroidRuntime(22791): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

i don't actually need this activity in my manifest, do i? i wouldn't think so, since it's not part of my app...
[Android Apps and Games] Anderdroid:
Who else is upset about this?

It's one thing to promote emulators on the Top Paid section... But stolen Pokemon games is another.

Google is currently promoting Pokemon Red and Pokemon Emerald in the Top Paid section of Arcade & Action Games. They each cost $2.99.

I have no problem with emulators, and I have no problem with "GPL" ports. Either seem legal to sell as well, when not provided with proprietary content, such as demos or freeware files to support the GPL engines. But completely proprietary games being sold? I think there's a huge problem with that. It's not like they're buried either. Their within the top 30 paid apps. And it seems quite obvious that Google re-arranges that list themselves at the start of every month.

I don't feel comfortable supporting such a huge corporation that permits and even promotes activities like this.

Not to mention that Mario clone. Mobile Andrio is it? Uses proprietary Nintendo sprites? Not as big of an issue but it is still illegal.

Open != Anti-Law
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
I doubt the top picks are hand picked. Probably some automated process using certain criteria:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Dave the Knave:
While that may be the case, somebody at Google should be keeping an eye on that. The right things to do would be to send an email to market support, or whomever it may concern, and go to the app on the market, and report it!

I definitely share the viewpoint of the OP.

Edit: I've just gone through all his apps and reported them. They're all Nintendo games and he's selling them all to make a personal profit. I bet if Nintendo knew about this, they wouldn't be too happy. Hint hint.
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Yeah, you should report them if you see them but I was just trying to explain to OP that it's not Google promoting the apps, it's just an automated process (most likely)
[Android Apps and Games] ante0:
That's what you get when you can upload about anything to the Market :P

I reported all of the Pokémon games released by that Gaming something author, aswell as some other Super Mario games by the same author. Stated "Copyright infringement". Should get their attention
[Android Apps and Games] Anderdroid:
Well the last top list had 4 GangWars apps at the top? I've been watching every month. Also, Angry Birds being number one on day one? There's a reason Angry Birds makes 1 million $ month from Admob on Android... Because they specifically chose it as the top app. Same thing when Seasons debutted. They had a deal with Angry Birds to be an "Admob success story".

Either way, it definitely makes sense to me that someone at Google handpicked them as they only have 1-5000 downloads, and many, more higher performing apps, are far below it. I investigate the market like all day.

BTW the email of this guy is wraithsaviour@gmail.com

I found out a few things about him.

First off, he went to a baseball game with Zodttd: http://twitter.com/#!/zodttd/status/21505912283

Second off, he steals and rebrands crap on Cydia: http://macthemes.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=740518 http://www.macthemes.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=751022

I have no problems with Zodttd's emulators, in fact I support them. I think it's a great feature. However I have problems with ROM Buddy, which Google also handpicked.

I will be calling Nintendo's copyright infringingement report number tomorrow.

Also you gotta think about the 4 digits that this guy is making from this. It's unacceptable. And it's not like Google is gonna take his money and refund everybody.
[Android Apps and Games] Anderdroid:
But yeah, the main problem here is that these games aren't in "the back yard". They're right there up front representing the integrity of the market and Google itself.
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
I'd imagine it would be very easy to make it to the top list if you had a game that had a lot of downloads within a certain amount of time. I'm not sure how they do it but it's something to consider. I don't think Google's place is to censor apps or go through some BS "certification" process. I do expect them to make sure an app does no harm to the system or my information. If an app developer chooses to infringe on a copyright, the holders of that copyright should contact Google to remove the app. Users can also do this but I can imagine that would be a nightmare. Anyways, you've reported the apps and so have many others. I personally go through comments and report the spammers than try to get people to join the $9.99 all apps a year scam sites. We each do our own little part to keep the Market safe, no need to ask Google to go all Apple derp on it.
[Android Apps and Games] Anderdroid:
I don't feel like Google cleans the market at all. I don't feel like reports are read. And I don't feel like the 'mark as spam' does anything other than hide that user's rating from yourself.

The market is a disaster atm honestly. The mess just keeps growing every day.

And it must be Google's place to sensor it: it's THEIR store. Don't forget that Google is cashing in on 30% of this guy's profit.

As for reporting the copyright infringement properly via the webform, they state it is illegal to report it unless you are the copyright holder! Lol.

The Android market is pretty much the pirate bay, but instead of things being free and shared, they're sold. And look what happened to them? Going to jail. And they aren't even USA based.
[Android Apps and Games] Spitemare:
What annoys me are the stupid "Boost the Cat" and "Shoot the Rabbit" games that keep popping up as just added every few days. It's not updates but some guy who keeps resubmitting these apps as new. I suspect he's also using fake accounts to rate these apps at 5 stars soon after a "new" release.
[Android Apps and Games] Sk17z0:
I didnt know so much Pokecrap existed in the Market.
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
Correct. "Top" doesn't just mean tons of downloads, it also takes into account how quickly those downloads happen. If you jump up a few thousand downloads in a single day, especially if it was currently low (such as number of users has more than doubled or quadrupled), then yeah - "Top" qualification.
[General Questions and Answers] jonners59:
I have been trying to install Android on my HTC TP2 (tilt) for a couple of months and managed it with the last version, 2.2, and it appears to work great. Looks the Dogs B*... Very pleased.

Now the crunch. I can not use it because there is no sound. If there is an alarm, a notification, a call, nothing happens. I have checked the settings and everything is on "SILENT" and can not be taken off..

I have another, less important issue, which may be the cause of the first. The phone states taht there is no music, videos, pictures or documents, etc. Further investigation it states I have no storage card installed. Clearly there is as I use it in the Windows mode and to load Android!

I have seen threads here and there that talk of reformatting the SD card to FAT 16 or 32, but would that then prevent it working on my Windows mode?

Is there another fix, alternative?
[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
It is recommended to format in Fat32, this will not cause any problem to the device, but make sure to back up your files
[General Questions and Answers] jonners59:
I had a nasty feeling you'd say that. I have ordered a new, much larger SD card, so will format that and the copy all the files over, that way if anything goes wrong I still have the origional... I'll feed back
[General Questions and Answers] jonners59:
Couldn't wait for the new card, so I copied the contents of the current one to the desktop of my laptop. I then reformatted to FAT, though I noticed it was already FAT.... copies the files back, then rebooted in to XDANDROID. I then tried to open the media player. It stated I had no Memory card installed....

It did not work. What next?
[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
Did you format it in Fat32 or Fat? also it is recommended that after you format on PC, format it again on the Phone
[General Questions and Answers] jonners59:
OK. My new card arrived today, which is puzzling being a Sunday. That was a FAT32 and I copied the files I had saved on my desktop on to the card, and it works!!! GREAT... Only prob is some files WOULD NOT transfer, the card was locked even though listed as me as the owner, and I don't know how to change that. But it works

The old card. I have tried reformatting time and again. And am in the process of just copying the files back over and will give up at this point. It works in Windows and RUbuntu, if not Android

I do NOT think it is as simple as JUST format to FAT32, as both cards were FAT32 and only one would worked, and that only some, including Linux/Android files at that would copy over. The Android install needs to be less discerning.
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
A lot of people have had trouble with certain makes of cards (sandisk wouldnt work for me, transcend class 6 did). I know that my sandisk card had a few problems previously and was heavily used.

FAT will not work as DDawg said above, must be FAT32.

What card did you get out of interest?
[General Questions and Answers] jonners59:
All FAT32....

I do not know what the 8Gb card is as it does not say and I do not recall. the new 16Gb is a Kingston and that works fine, bar it was locked and some files would not transfer.

PS. How do I brows the devices folders.....?
[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
If some files are copying and others not then those files could be the reason the phone is not working. Cards don't have a lock unless it's on a adapter with a lock option. And your mystery of your card coming today is that your card came yesterday but went to somebody elses house lol
[General Questions and Answers] jonners59:
The files that did not copy did not do so on the new card which was locked, or so it said it was. I could not fathom out what made the difference between files that copied over and those that did not. The types and permissions did not seem to be the difference.

As for the lock being on the adapter, maybe. I transferred the files over using an adapter and inserted directly in to the laptop. Might try the same with the old card and see if the lock appears, just for curiosity.

As for the post, you may well be right. Beep annoying though as I planned to do it all on Friday! loL
[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
what i meant is that were there only certain files that were copying or nothing is copying in the new card? if there are certain files that are not copying then the problem is with the files and those could be the files causing the problem on the phone and for formatting, if you used a 8 gb card,it formatted in Fat as Fat32 is only there for cards up to 4gb, therefore i would recommend formatting it in the phone as well
[General Questions and Answers] jonners59:
Ah, with you.

The files that did not copy, I believe were working fine, because the apps they worked in worked and those that were just documents also worked. now the apps have been copied over without these elements they do not work or work properly. Also some were within the Android OS itself. There did not seem to be any differentiator between those that would and those that would not copy over. I'm certain there is something else.

FAT: Mmm Not sure I want to go through all that again, but I guess i'll have too.!!!! The phone works with my new 16Gb card, and MUST be accessing it because it has ring tones which are stored on the card and it has found my music and videos. BUT it does not see everything and I do not know how to browse the card... It also does not show up within the available memory. Whilst looking better than my WM, it seems a bit flaky

Also i have notices the red light is on the mute button an the rear of the phone.

Just tried to Format the SD Card from within the phone... Won't. Just flashes. Also will not Unmount.
[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
you have to Format in Windows,ot android lol , as android is on the card, it cant format

also maybe ask this in the Tp2 sections, we got some good guys who will put in the help
[General Questions and Answers] jonners59:
OK, WM does not have a format facility/tool, so I put the card back in the laptop. Deleted it and then put back in the phone. The phone then formate it.

I then plugged the phone in to the laptop and copied all the files over, they all went bar 3, but then when I checked the folders all had gone over without hitch.

I then disconnected and started the phone.

In windows mobile it works, though CoPilot has lost its maps!

My Ubuntu and Android will not start. They stop in the script where it tried to open the SD Card, both of them.

I tried reinstalling Android and got the same problem. Now I am back to base
[General Questions and Answers] jonners59:
Back to start

OK, I am back where I started. I raised a different thread last night, because after al this I had a different problem, that it would not boot at all. It would get part way down the script and then stop, stating it could not open the card.

Since I plugged in to the laptop, deleted the SD card and reformatted as per all the threads using gParted. Again to FAT32

Now I am back where I started. Android boots and looks great, but there is no access to the SD card so no ringtones or media and all my files. A phone that won't ring is not very useful!
[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
DAmn, wish i could help more, try to post in the TP2 section, we have great helpers there
