Need Help

I know this is an old thread, but I'm working on an old phone. Hopefully some of you guys are still following this.

My father has an EVO 3D that showed up one day stuck on the white HTC screen. The only remedy was to pull the battery. I thought it would be no big deal to just go into the boot menu and either try and run recovery, or at worst do a factory reset. Both of these options failed. I even made a few attempts at trying from the SD card with a ROM or two. So I downloaded the RUU direct from HTC thinking that would finally take care of the problem. But after connecting up in FASTBOOT mode and running the RUU, it eventually fails when the update gets to the point that it's supposed to restart the phone in bootloader mode. Because at that point the phone just restarts to the white HTC logo again, and the software times out telling me that it can't connect to the device. Any help here other than passing me a trash can ;) Thanks in advance!

Hello fellow XDA members. I'm in need of a little guidance. I currently have (please see title of thread) and I'm looking to flash the DK28 Froyo either through update.zip or Odin. If I'm correct when I flash this I will lose root? Will I also lose my kernel, or will that DK28 zip or tar file come with it's own kernel? If it does come with it's own kernel I wouldn't need to do anything but flash or update.zip the DK28 file correct? Or would I need to take my Phoenix kernel off? If so where do I find the stock kernel. I've searched and searched and sorry if I'm not seeing it and if someone could provide a link to it that would be great. If I do not need to do this and just go straight from what I have to DK28 that would be even better. The reason for me wanting to do this is that I have lost most but not all faith in Samsung/Sprint whoever is in charge of the 2.2 update (but that's for another argument not in here). If someone could please help that would be fantastic. Your help is always appreciated with me.

Thanks

Tom

I'm assuming you found this page: http://briefmobile.com/how-to-update-sprint-epic-4g-to-android-2-2

If you go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861220 that thread it has a DK28 that is ready to go (pre-rooted and everything). Flash through Odin.

If you want to avoid GPS issues do this:

1.) Flash stock DI18 through Odin.

2.) Turn phone on and get a GPS lock.

3.) Install DK28 using update.zip method (use factory android recovery)

4.) At this point you're done. You're going to have to root the phone and restore all your apps, etc.

Good luck

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rangerunseen:
Hey,

I was wondering how to install multiple ROMs of Android on the same SD card. I've read that each ROM should have its own folder in the root of the SD card. The thing is, though, that the root of my SD card has a bunch of other files and folders - most of which are related to Android (and are the folders of Apps of my current ROM).

Do I just move everything that's related to that ROM into a new folder in the root? So instead of my Haret file being located at "I:\HyperDroidV1.7" it would be located at "I:\NewFolder\HyperDroidV1.7"

Also, when you are just updating from one ROM to another, is there a way to keep all of your apps/data?

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
1. What you need to do, is to rename the folder containing your 2nd, 3rd, etc. builds to whatever makes you comfortable (HyperDroid, SenseDroid, UltimateDroid, you get it) and then in the startup.txt of the corresponding build, where it says rel_path='Android', change the Android part to whatever you named the corresponding folder to.

It is a good idea to not rename the folder until you have fully booted a build at least once though, so if you download a build and its folder is named 'android' and you already have a build on your sd card in an 'android folder, just rename the existing one to 'android2' or something temporarily, then change it back once you have booted and renamed the new build.

2. Then get Exceller Android and Ubuntu Loader, just search the HD2 forums and you'll find it. It will detect your folders with Haret in them, and give you the choice of which one you want to boot, it will activate CLRCAD and Haret for you, and it also has an autoboot feature that you can set to 3 seconds after booting Windows, which really helps save battery in Android.

You can have as many builds as you want, you're only limited by the size of your sd card. I have like 7 or 8 myself, but only really ever use 3 or 4 (I get bored easy:D )

3. As far as saving your data, you can try copy n pasting your data.img from your Android folder to your new build, but I never do, as it can cause problems and often won't even boot up. I suggest using Titanium Backup to back up/restore your apps from build to build, and your contacts and appointments should be restored when you sign into your Google account when you first set up the build. Then it's just a matter of customizing everything else. After all, you don't want all your builds set up exactly the same, right?

Good luck, hope this helps
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rangerunseen:
Thanks for the info, but I still have a question: if I just change the name of the "Android" folder for the new build, wont other folders conflict? For example, on my current build, the root of my SD card has, among other folders, the "HyperDroid" folder (where my haret is), "Android," and "Media". It also has folders belonging to other Apps.

Even if I rename the one Android folder, wouldn't that new build also create new folders on the root of my SD cards, some of which would inevitably conflict with stuff I have on my first build.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Some do and some dont, Its probably best to stick to multiple builds of same type of builds and dont mix say sense rom with MIUI or stock ones etc.
[myTouch 4G General] netter123:
Has anyone noticed variations in how strong the vibration is across the MT4G? I originally ordered two on a family plan and have exchanged one of these a few times. I noticed that the one original one that I've kept (a plum one) has a nice strong (and loud) vibration, while the few black ones I have had through exchanges have all had a relatively weak vibration (some more weak than others - and all weaker than the plum). Any other thoughts or experiences with this?
[myTouch 4G General] Fuse8499:
I have the white version. I remember first turning on the phone and thinking "HOLY CRAP, THE VIBRATION ON THIS IS A MONSTER". Definitely the strongest vibration I've seen in any phone I've ever owned. I found it to be unusual at first, but I've gotten used to it.
[myTouch 4G General] d2theaher69:
I have a white one with the new screen and it the vibrate is alot louder than my g2. I love it!
[myTouch 4G General] dennistaylor:
I got a black one and it has strong vibration. Kinda wish you could adjust the intensity, like you can on the Galaxy S. These have a much better screen than those, though...
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
Comparing my black model to my friend's plum model, I can definitely say the plum has a much stronger vibration effect. That doesn't matter to me though, since I keep all vibrating functions disabled.
[myTouch 4G General] Fuse8499:
Agreed. I find vibration alerts to be annoying. The first thing I do after flashing a new rom is disable the vibration alerts.
[myTouch 4G General] JARone:
Mine seems to be just perfect for me, not too strong but enough to alert me. I would like to compare them to other MT4Gs just for the sake of knowing where mine stands though.
[myTouch 4G General] trifold:
Just received my replacement with the "superior" screen, and yeah, the vibration is noticeably weaker on the newer phone. Not to say that it's necessarily "bad", just that my original phone had ridiculously strong vibration.

Anyway, obviously not a deal breaker, and having the better display is way, way more important. Loving this phone again.
[myTouch 4G General] Arcadia310:
My vibration is fine. Definitely feels more natural than the Vibrants vibration.

I'm using USB tethering and once in a while the connection drops, when I try to play an online game on the computer it drops more often (a lot more often sometimes). Is this normal?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codewisp:
Has anyone tried syncing with their Google Apps account?

I get all my contacts and email (Gmaill app) properly, however, I only get the "main" / default calendar in my Calendar app. Normal Google.com (xxx at gmail dot com, accessed through calendar.google.com) calendars work fine.

For example in my Google.com account, I have:

- Friends

- Gym

- Work

All these appear (in addition to the default xxx at gmail dot com calendar) in my Calendar app under Settings->Calendars and are labelled w/ xxx at gmail dot com. However, in my Google apps account (xxx at mydomain dot com, accessed through calendar dot mydomain dot com) I have:

- Work

- Thesis

- Other Academics

I don't have any of these listed in the Calendar app, even after syncing countless times. I only have one calendar from the domain: the default xxx at mydomain dot com.

Syncing with this calendar works fine and it sends updates both ways, however I can't see my other calendars being listed.

Has anyone encountered this problem?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zamane:
Actually I also have the same problem. It seems like google confuses between the personal google account and the google apps user account. For example. I cant access my subscriptions using gogle reader because all my rss subscriptions are in my personal google account and i dont know how to switcj between the two.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codewisp:
When I logged into the domain admin for my Google Apps account, it seems Google is opening up Google Apps accounts for access to most of the rest of their services, however I didn't see Android in there.

I wanted to try out whether setting up my first account (factory reset, etc) using the Google Apps account would fix it but I didn't want to wipe out everything I have right now.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codewisp:
Bump.

Anyone?

I finally had the chance to try out and set up the Google Apps account as my primary account since I did a full wipe + factory reset + flash on my tab today, to no avail.

Still a Google Apps account only shows 1 calendar.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnick666:
Strange... I've set up my private and apps accounts and everything works great for me...

My private gmail account has several calendars, as does the apps account, and everything works fine, I can see all the events from all the chosen calendars...

I used the Accounts & sync settings to setup the accounts.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codewisp:
Well that's weird, maybe there's something wrong with my Google Apps configuration, I'll check with another account. But then again I've tried setting all the possible sharing and privacy settings appropriately just to test but nay.

I also used the Accounts and Sync settings to set up the account.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codewisp:
Okay, I can confirm there is something wrong with my Galaxy Tab built-in Calendar App.

For the sake of testing I downloaded several different Calendar apps from the Market and all of them can see the Calendars I have from my Google Apps account.

There was this app called Business Calendar that showed me the actual calendar IDs of each calendar and I can confirm they match the ones listed in my Google Apps account.

The moment I check it and add it to the list of Calendars displayed by Business Calendar, and I switch to the Calendar app that came on the Tab, the Calendars were listed in Menu->Settings->Calendars and turning them on worked properly.

I'm guessing there's something wrong with the built-in Calendar app? Maybe some issue with Calendar Storage or something. Everything works now but it sucks that I have to launch Business Calendar, sync, and enable it from there before seeing it in the built-in Calendar app.

Again, anyone have this issue?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CanuckFlyboy:
I have the exact same problem. I did as you did, installed Business Calendars and it showed my 3 Google calendars all OK. They then showed up in the default calendar program. Canadian tab bought in Calgary.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nacron:
had a similar problem with several of my google calendars showing up as being synced but no data from the calendar was being synced. I tried messing with pushing the calendar storage from my vibrant to my tab and it got stuck in a force close loop. I also tried to delete all the calendar entries which subsequently deleted all my future google calendar entires. After reimporting from a backup I made before I deleted it showed up on my tab.

Also ive seen some threads with questions on what apps to install and such, but then i was confused on which apps to really install beucase folk has had issues with the apps that they installed. so believe me before i get a ignorant response to my topic i have done my leg work and ive read over 50 pages of talk about this tablet. And i have an idea on what to do but im still not sure.

Thanks a Bunch

[Android Themes] necromonger89:
Unfortunately I am also not so great with this but will explain some terms as best I can...(I'm also a noob)

APK: Is the term used for applications on the Android Operating System.

Root: Is a term that describes unlocking your phone's true potential. This is accomplished because normally the Android OS has certain permissions unlocked for the user and other super permissions locked. This defines what the unrooted OS will let you do to the device without harming it. Rooting basically unlocks those hidden(super) permissions allowing you to do much more to the software and hardware like overclocking your CPU to make it faster... umm also allows you to do things like backup applications or extract them and on some devices play around or look through the device's scripts and system files. Ask the community about rooting as they can probably explain it better than I can. Sorry!

Sadly about the Market, it is not fully unlocked in all countries and I think you need special licensing to access certain apps or apks on the market. As for your Silvania I would recommend going to Androidtablets.net and search for your device. There is a mini community there for your tablet, maybe you can get more help there.

Its teh first time this happened. I booed into recovery mode, applied an update.zip (MODACO). That went fine but when rebooting I dont come further then the HTC startup screen.

What can I do now? Is my phone bricked? What would be the next steps if it is bricked or what else can I try to make it work again?

i found some posts about what can be done but it was not quite clear to me what are the next steps involved (Do I need fastboot?).

Thanks for any help. I guess I should have been more careful but never ran into any issues in the past.
[Desire HD General] keemyb:
If you can get to fastboot (holding down vol dwn button on boot), go into recovery, clearing data before flashing whatever update.zip. If it doesn't work, follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841890 . It should bring you back to a stock, unrooted rom where you can start afresh.

Hi everyone, I just want to inform you guys that LG has taken off the suspension on upgrading GT540 to eclair. I just upgraded my girlfriend's phone to eclair yesterday night. The upgrade went without issues.

I upgraded it in Sweden so I guess it is the european firmware since it has a lot of european languages; I am not sure if it has all though.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Saukkiird:
Computer says no...

How did you manage to do that? I just tried to update my GF's GT540 yesterday, and it didn't get past the "Downloading" screen.

So at least the update in your beloved eastern neighbor country Finland doesn't work. (Which really sucks, since I'm giving the phone to her as a Christmas present, and was really hoping for saving me the hassle of updating it after she's got all her apps in there...)

Is the software version same for Sweden and Finland?

BTW, this might be a really stupid question, so I guess I'm the right person to ask it: Does the phone need to have the SIM-card in it in order for the update to work? i.e. Does it need to be connected to an operator? :confused:

I don't understand why that happened. I actually updated the phone without any hassle. The phone has not been rooted either.

I left the memory card and the sim card in while updating.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Saukkiird:
No update in Finland at the moment

I guess the Finnish 2.1 update had some bugs in it, so LG decided to take it down for the time being.

I guess the update will just have to wait for now.

It seems like my compass is somewhat off. I've downloaded a compass app from the market and used its calibration function several times, but it still seems off. This appears to be somewhat problematic when using google maps 5.0 in compass mode as well, since the actual compass directions don't line up with the calibration of the phone.

What's the most accurate way to calibrate the compass? Is there an app, or some other way, to manually adjust the calibration if its off?

Make sure when you're checking the accuracy of the compass that you are not using it around something that would be causing interference, especially the MyTouch Car Dock that T-Mobile sells. For some reason, that thing causes major interference, and makes my compass think it's 90 degrees off.
