[EVO 4G Android Development] zookafg3:
Ok, I have an Evo that I would like to recover from the dark side.

I rooted my HTC EVO 4g using Unrevoked, it worked fine, then I decided to flash a new rom, followed all the steps and I backed up my stock and wipe data/factory reset and Davik, now my phone doesn't read the sd card.

Took the sd card out and did a FAT32 format (4 times already), downloaded the new zip to it and still not reading.'

Bought a couple different SD cards.

Can't do a restore because the sd card and is not recognized.

As soon as I check install zip from card it reads

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)

(No such file or directory)

E:Can't mount /sdcard

Now I know Amon RA Recovery is way better.

I had S-OFF, after wipe all data have S-ON and don't know why.

This is what I tried:

All kinds of PC36IMG (Recoveries, ROMS, Unrevoked S on and S off)

ADB doesn't work.

Phone is not found, when try to update drivers using Windows 7 it says that Qualcomm-CDMA-Technologies-MSM driver is not found, but my other EVO and the ones that I rooted have no problems.

Phone boots into HBOOT and Recovery.

After opening HBOOT PC36IMG gets recognized but not updated.

In recovery when try to flash from SD has the message E: Can't blah blah

If I try to reboot the phone, it just goes to a black screen with a flashing LED or gets stock on white screen forever.

Any ideas?

I would like to fix it, already have a working phone, and I don't need this one, is just to put all the help together and maybe some one that has a similar problem can avoid all the troubles and follow a single post and not spend hours searching just to find the wrong answers.

Otherwise is going to be just for spare parts and that doesn't help many.

Thanks in advance.

If you have an idea, lets try it, PM or reply here.

So what if I have 4 little triangles with exclamation marks in them at all corners of the screen and HTC in the middle?

but i cant get into recovery(think it might be bad)

so i think its kinda bricked

can you help me im kinda new to flashing tru hboot and all

please help
[EVO 4G Android Development] ianmb:
What recovery are you using? If phone will still be recognized by pc when plugged in via USB it can b fixed. Mount phone as disk drive, locate and dl PC36IMG.zip of Amon RA 2.3 recovery put on root of sdcard. Then dl a different ROM zip put that on root of sdcard. Go into bootloader screen,(vol down and power button) it will ask if you want to update,select yes. It will flash Amon RA recovery, when done do not reboot select no, then it will take you to other options. Select recovery...once there wipe all, cache,dalvik,data,system,boot,but NOT sdcard. Return to main recovery menu select flash zip from sdcard locate newly downloaded ROM and flash.

This should at least get you back to a working phone. If this helps hit thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kenpen:
after i do update,it ask if i want to reboot andi say no,

then i click on recovery

and my phone gets stuck at white htc evo 4g screen

but also when i connect my phone to pc it does not recognize it but also when i connect my phone to pc it does not recognize it under computer(no drive)

but when i connect phone to computer it make the connection sound and when i unplug it too
[EVO 4G Android Development] wasilvers:
quoted so I can find it at home - hope to give thanks later
[EVO 4G Android Development] ianmb:
And if you used firerats method to partition you WILL have to either delete a file called Program Data off ur sdcard or flash the PC36IMG.zip of AmonRa recovery in fastboot to undo the partition cuz it won't work if you don't. It will throw up errors when trying to do a restore. Had this happen to me

Anyone have suggestions for image editing? Photoshop Express only works with camera images and I want something that works with downloaded images. I have tried PicSay (free) on my phone and it is ok, but if there is something better I'd rather buy something once.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] copc:
You should look back at photoshop, click menu, more then settings

Uncheck "Show camera photos only in phone view"

Then you will have all images on the device.:D

Photoshop has been out for a long time. Most people shy'd away from it in tha past because it seemed to run persistent in the background, and the features were limited. PicSay seemed to be a better feature packed.

I am looking for a case with a belt loop or reliable belt clip, and I saw this one on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290498557075

I asked seller a question about how Streak is held in the case (pocket? Velcro?), but the seller never answered.

Did anybody try this case, or do you have other suggestions for a case with belt loop / clip?

Thank you!
[Streak 5 Accessories] p51d007:
I bought a Otterbox Defender for now. Great protection, but, I'm always

checking to make sure it doesn't pop out when I slide in and out of a car.

I too would like a leather flip case, but haven't found one yet.
[Streak 5 Accessories] iamsupertubasam:
Yeah it looks like there aren't any leather cases with a belt clip. I don't understand why not, but looks like a while before they are getting one if they are at all
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
I ordered this case on eBay for my Streak. They will custom make them so that you can carry the Streak with an Otterbox or TPU case on it. I got mine with the belt clip. It's pricey, but there aren't many options. I will do a write up when I get the phone and the case (awaiting both).
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
I had a case with that style of belt clip for a smaller phone, I think it lasted about 3 weeks before it came apart. You've paid hundreds of pounds for your phone, don't trust it's safety to a couple of pounds worth of case.
[Streak 5 Accessories] fone_fanatic:
Looks like the flap is secured by a magnet, or cases that look like that and have no velcro or button are usually secured by a magnet.

I was gonna say the exact same thing.

Are you sure of the build quality on this?

How do you know that belt loop isn't gonna snap right off and send your streak flying into the street?

[Captivate Accessories] krazydonutboy:
before i got a new head unit, i was using bluetooth to a blackberry stereo gateway to tape adapter. it worked well, especially for what it was.

when it was made obsolete with my new had unit, i tried bringing it inside to hook up a stereo wirelessly. i used a $.01 wall -> usb power adapter that seemed to introduce some significant audio interference...to the point that it was unacceptable. so just be warned that you may want to be sure to have a "clean" mini usb power source.

other than that, i was happy with it.
[Captivate Accessories] Swanton187:
I use my phone with bluetooth on my pioneer deck(forgot the model number) and it is awesome. But there is a few pros and cons.

With the win amp app I can just hop in my car wait for the phone to connect then press next on my cd deck and music starts to play ... awesome as well as use turn by turn gps while playing music through. Its very hands free but down side is I have had it lagg and it would skip a word in the song but that might be the rom I am using.

I tried to root it a few weeks ago, but it didn't quite work, so i did a hard reset.

Everything works, except the phone won't boot with the SD card in it (it just keeps looping at the "MyTouch 3g Slide" screen. And the phone will not recognize any SD card. i've tried three. the original samsung 8gb, a kingston 2gb, and a 16gb one. all the cards work perfectly on my computer, one is used to run android on my HD2. so i KNOW it works. I've tried reformatting it also, and that didn't work (FAT32).

how can i fix this?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Can you get to the bootloader and recovery with the SD card in it? If you don't know how hold down the vol down button and power button, then use the volume rocker to go down to recovery and pres power again to select it. If you can't access the bootloader with an sd card in it I would suspect a hardware issue but I'm not sure. If you can get into recovery and flash clockworkmod recovery, then re-download and flash a ROM, such as cyanogenmod 6.1.0 or CR_mod or something. Just to rule out a ROM error.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermunky:
Might want to try a full wipe again using recovery if you can get into it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotEspresso:
in order to flash CM or clockworkmod recovery, i need to have my phone rooted, correct? what's the easiest way?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
In the Dev section for our phone THIS method.

Also, check the slide rom bible for some other stuff you might need, like the stock rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermunky:
Oh, I assumed you were rooted. When you power on with Vol Down, the first screen is hboot... isn't there a full wipe option there, therefore not requiring the OP to go into recovery?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Yeah, there is a wipe option in Hboot.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotEspresso:
nope. not yet, at least. i'm working on it now, but i keep running into problems. the latest one, is when i run the "adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals" command in step 4, it just says "error: device not found". i'm pretty sure i've done everything right.

is there anyone willing to help walk me through this with an instant messenger or something? i can probably figure it out eventually, but help would be much appreciated.

also, when i plug the phone into the computer, the phone charges, but doesn't recognize the phone. windows (7) says it can't identify it. and when i unplug the phone, it resets.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Yeah you have to download the drivers for the phone. Here's the link: http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-slide/downloads/

Download the sync update, it'll install the drivers necessary for adb to work
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotEspresso:
still doesn't work. nothing shows up when i run "adb devices", and it says "error: device not found" when i run the adb push... command.

any ideas?

if it helps, hboot does see my SD card. so i know it's not a hardware issue.

is there any way i can load the original stock firmware? i loaded ESPRIMG.zip and it worked, but didn't do anything. :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
It must be an issue on the computer side with your computer not recognizing your phone. I'm on my phone at the moment, with an almost dead battery (bad cm6.1 battery life) but when I get to a computer I'll look it up, there's something else you might have to install. Are you on xp vista or 7?

thanks. i've got windows 7. i can try using another computer. i'll post when i try that.

i called HTC and i'm still under warranty. but will they be able to see my root attempt and not repair it? i don't wanna be charged the $40 "triage fee"
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Yes, they will see your root attempt and say you voided your warranty, but it's easy to unroot. Although I don't think your phone is the issue here, since you can still see your microsd card when you plug into your computer, right? Like if you mount USB storage, it works?

Also, try following the instructions in the link I'm about to paste, I used it and it worked fine for me: http://androidforums.com/t-mobile-mytouch-slide/90832-adb-drivers.html
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotEspresso:
not from the phone. but i can take the SD card out and put it into my computer.

i'll try the link now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotEspresso:
nope. i already had that driver. but i installed it again anyway. no luck. how can i restore to good enough condition so HTC will fix it?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=746577 Flash that, it will flash the pure stock w/OTA update, without root or wifi tether, it's just pure stock. They don't think twice about it.

And if you cant mount usb storage on your phone and see it on your computer, then I think your phone does have an issue with the usb port. Either that or it's a rom issue? Could be something corrupted.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotEspresso:
it MIGHT be a usb issue, but i doubt it. it can't be a rom issue, because i haven't rooted the phone.

when i hit apply update.zip in recovery, it just says "can't find /sdcard/update.zip". it's definitely there, in the root of the SD card.

any ideas? :confused:

EDIT: i just used hboot to load ESPRIMG.zip. i THINK that worked. but it still says firmware 2.1-update 1. will that be enough to clear it for HTC?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Wait if you never rooted then you aren't off of stock firmware. As long as you're on the stock software, unrooted, they won't catch it or care.

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotEspresso:
Ohh. So they won't be able to see my attempt? I thought that's what I asked earlier.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
I must've misunderstood you. Yeah they won't know if you've rooted before as long as you are on the stock unrooted firmware with the stock bootloader and recovery and all that jazz. If you can't flash clockwork recovery then you are definitely unrooted, that's a good way to test. Honestly phone companies aren't too picky about replacements since they have to do it so rarely. When I had a dumbphone, some samsung texting slider phone, I had to send it back 6 times to tmobile, they never asked questions haha. They almost offered me an upgrade to a different phone once, their lemon policy or something rather, but I missed it by a few days. So yeah, it's not like they are gonna dig to see if you rooted it, they only look for the obvious signs, like if they boot it up and it has a wifi tether or it's not even a stock rom.

In short, you're fine, they won't catch it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotEspresso:
Awesome. Thanks A BUNCH. By the way, I don't have tmobile warranty. Its htc. I got the pgone off craigslist so I guess I'm lucky. But will their check be anymore in-depth?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
I doubt it, and if they catch something they won't charge you without your authorization, worst case scenario you get it sent back to you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotEspresso:
Very true. But they still charge me a ripoff $40 triage fee no matter what. Ill let ya know how it goes. Ill send it in once I try to fix my hd2.

First of all I tried the search button, didn't find satisfactory answers. I guess someone will show me how badly I'm using the search function, in that case I'm sorry :)

I would like to ask what are the best ways to move between android builds backing up as much as possible, specifically what is the best "clean" and best "dirty" way.

By clean way I mean maximum of stuff that I'm able to backup and restore without affecting the new build performance or stability wise.

By dirty way I mean backing up some more stuff then by the "clean way" while doing things that MAY affect the new build in a bad way, but not certainly (it's just much less certain then the clean way).

Thanks for ideas.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I can't recommend a "dirty" way of doing it, but have a look at Titanium Backup in the market. I use that to backup and restore my apps and settings from build to build. (I'd strongly recommend getting the paid version so it restores all your apps with 1 click, rather than 2 clicks per app!)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ulukai3:
I would thought that restoring apps and settings is dirty thing to do. Ok, let's say apps is safe, but is it really safe to backup settings? Are those android settings?

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jaidedfocus:
Something I do when switching build to build is create a folder on my desktop and transfer all supporting Android folders and files from my phone to that folder. I mainly do that when I'm testing builds so I can go back to a previous version if I don't like the build in switching to.

Also when I play around with kernels I'll have the specific build backed up so I can switch the kernels on my phone if I mess something up. Once I go back to that build everything is transferred back over with no issues.

Not sure if that's what you're looking for. Others also suggest just keeping your data image as well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ulukai3:
Thanks for that too.

Hi,

On my tab, the gps lock in Google maps or any other maps seems kinda slow when compared to that of my HD2 running WM6.5...also, it seems to lose the gps connection quite often when driving around and then takes a lot of time to lock back in.

Anyone else noticed this? And any way of improving the gps lock? A nudge in the right direction would be really helpful.

Thanks
