IF voodoo is COMPLETELY disabled and you're positive on this you can flash a new ROM, but once again, it's ALWAYS safer to ODIN back to stock before flashing.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LovellKid:
If Voodoo is disabled, then flash a different rom/kernel and youll be good to go. Jus dont delete the disable_voodoo file until after youve flashed another kernel. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-brit323:
What about as far as cwm? Cuz voodoo messed it up and I cant get to regular cwm. But if its disabled it should be fine?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbbb:
If it's disabled you should be fine, just flash a new ROM with a new kernel and you should be able to enter normal old green recovery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-brit323:
But how? Because I cant get to cwm

Ive updated my voicemail to the new update around 3 wks ago or so. Last night I started getting voicemails that were a couple days old that I didn't even know about. So I sent myself some voicemails and didn't get them. I then uninstalled the new voicemail update and when it uninstaleed I got some more old voicemails pop up. After that I got the popup that said a mandatory update is available. I it ok to reinstall the update and then it says no updates available. I have the notification telling me bout the update but every time I try to update it says no update available. I've tried everything. I just completed a hard reset that sprint tech. Told me to do and nothing. The sprint tech said he never heard if it and wants me to take it to a repair center to see if they can push it. I don't mind doing that but I live 45 mins from a repair center and if for some reason I have to do another wipe I'll be in the same position. Anybody know what to do or heard of this? Everything else updates just fine. Thank you

Download a rom with newer cm-android.apk. adb into phone and remove current version. Adb new voice mail to /system/app. Well try it. It was perfect for me. Good luck.

Im having a problem with updating my wildfire to froyo from 2.1. the update downloads then i choose to install now. the phone reboots and the install starts and the message "failed to verify whole file signature" comes up. i have the phone rooted with unrevoked.can someone help me?

thanks in advance.
[Wildfire General] gimj01:
Instead using OTA try with the RUU...
[Wildfire General] madhair:
for example ROM manager?
[Wildfire General] gimj01:
No...if you have a 2.1 rooted ROM you have different possibilities to upgrade to Froyo:

1) Flashing a rooted Froyo ROM that you can find here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877977

2) Use the official RUU. You will lose your root until Unrevoked supports the new version. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877091

Here's another concept for your back cover.

We already have the chrome style, now we have the carbon style :D

Made in 10 minutes with 3M carbon vinyl.

What do u think?
[HD2 General] Marct77:
Looks nice
[HD2 General] sniff15:
question. isn't the reason for the metal battery cover that metal dissipates heat better than plastics? so covering it with a plastic would cause the phone to heat up more?
[HD2 General] HC4Life:
I think not. I have no problem with that so far and my battery life is good, it also depends of which rom u use.
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
Nice. But its already been done.
[HD2 General] HC4Life:
I know that, but i wanted to show anyway.

I LOVE CARBON!!!:p

Well no crap sherlock...

The glitch “affects the ability to upgrade to Android (News - Alert) 2.2,” Samsung told its users.

There are not a lot of details of what is wrong. Samsung said there were “intermittent issues” during the firmware upgrade process.

[Epic 4G General] odub303:
This has nothing to do with the Epic, this is a problem with Samsung Kies for the i9000.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
All of the phone models they have updated over the past couple months seem to be causing bricks. Intercept, and SGSs included.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Well same can be said for all manufacturers, I remember HTC had a few bricks too and so did Motorola when updating to Froyo...

That said its a little bit different, the Intercept was a soft brick for those that experienced this (my intercept flashed just fine)...the one that happened in canada there was actual hardware damage...(Though the issue might be kies related)

Either way we saw that DK28 flashes just fine, so I don't see this being an issue...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
i have searched but cant find the ideal guide on how to change the boot animation AND mp3 sound. i see it all on youtube but its confusing the way they do it.

someone point me in the right direction?? thanks in advanced.

also do i need to have NAND unlocked??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I would purchase Root Explorer for $1 and do it through that app.

You basically need to find the thread located on this website with a collection of boot animations. Download the zip that's included and flash through recovery. If you wish to change the .mp3 sound for let's say the Dancing Droid boot animation you would want to go through Root Explorer and overwrite/place mp3 file in the correct formatted name.

Here's the thread:

Cool thanks but root explorer is like $5 where do you get it for $1?

-On That Black Ops Status-
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Oops my bad. I probably too it for another app. Try downloading ES File Explorer since it's free. I buy so many apps that I forget the price sometimes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
so it there any exact walkthrough?

im just not used to all the "experienced people should know what this means"

stuff..

like when u say recovery u mean hboot??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Recovery is when you power off your phone, hold volume down and boot on your phone while holding it down. You can then flash .zip from recovery by choosing "choose zip from sdcard" and finding the boot animation, confirming (as in yes) and installing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extnct1:
Pushboot is the easiest way
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrRyder:
Oh boy. Have you guys actually made a rom or flashed a boot animation? I don't think so. Here's a step-by-step tutorial.

1. NANDROID NANDROID NANDROID <--- Always do this when modifying your rom unless you like starting over.

2. Find the bootanimation that you want. Some come with the sound and some don't. I prefer ones without sound.

3. Get the Android USB drivers and ADB from the Android SDK if you haven't already and make sure the drivers are installed for your phone. If I have to explain that, then you shouldn't use technology. ;)

4. Now, I would just do this the easy way and open up the zip file that the bootanimation comes in. If the bootanimation is named bootanimation.zip, then there's nothing to extract as that's the file we need. The sound file will be called SPC_animation_final.mp3. That's what the file names for the animation and sound must be.

5. Now, make sure that bootanimation.zip and SPC_animation_final.mp3 are in the same folder as ADB and open a command prompt. Make sure you Chdir to the same directory that ADB is and then type: adb remount

6. If you're rooted, you should see "remount succeeded" and you'll have read/write on your phone. If you don't see that message, you have to remount another way. The other way is to type: adb shell. Then, type: cat /proc/mounts. Look for the line that has an mtdblock in it and /system. You'll need that mtdblock number. The command I use is: mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system. Yours may be different if your partition setup is different. Yours could be 3, 5, 6, etc. If you aren't rooted, then leave this thread and go do that.

7. If you are still in adb shell, type exit to go back to the normal CMD. Otherwise, just go to step #8.

8. Next, type: adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource. It should copy it over without error.

9. Then, type adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource. Again, it should copy without error.

10. Now, to test to make sure this worked, you can type adb shell bootanimation. Watch your phone and if you see your bootanimation, then it worked. If you don't, then it didn't copy right. Not sure if this test will play the animation sound as I don't use one.

11. If you really want to make sure it worked, type adb shell reboot and that will reboot your phone.

12. ???

13. Profit!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
so everything is done through adb command..

-_- thats too difficult for me.. cuz if overtime i wanna change it again..

its a hassle..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kykiskly:
what exactly is it that you want to do? I might help :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
basically want one of the animations from this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=708173

i really want the dancing android and a song of my choice but if its too complicated i dont think its worth it..

i use boot animation changer lite on my evo and it works fine..

maybe there is an easy way??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kykiskly:
easy stuff without adb or boot animation changer lite help.

make sure you are rooted (required)

1) download the desire bootanimation to your root SD Card. Make sure it is called bootanimation.zip

2) download EStrong File explorer from the market.

a. open Estrong app, tap on the menu->Settings (scroll down to the bottom) to Root Options and enable both options. (THIS WILL ENABLE R/W READ/WRITE to the Android System Dirs)

3)Now with Estrong File app, hold down to copy the bootanimation file from your root card to your clipboard.

If you notice, there is a tiny SD icon on the top left corner, tap on that. That will take you to the phone dir. then go to the "system" folder, follow by "media".

4) Now just paste the bootanimation.zip that you have on the clipboard. You can do that by tapping on the middle thing you see at the botton. This will bring up a menu with anything you have pending for copying/cutting/etc.

It will ask you to replace, just say yes :) and you are done.

This method should work with CM Roms. But Sense is the same thing. Just different Directories to copy to.

Reboot and let me know if that helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
Well I'm on stock Rom it won't matter right?

-On That Black Ops Status-
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kykiskly:
Like I said, as long as you are rooted with RW rights, Sense, Cyan ROM, @#$%^ wont matter, the method is almost the same. Just make sure you locate that media folder within the system directories.

I think for stock "SENSE" it is under /resources/media. Not too sure :D

You gonna have to do some digging with the EStrong File Explorer App
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
K ill try now.. give me a few.. ill let you know

-On That Black Ops Status-
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
wont let me it says its ES file explorer says its only for system with cm rom or hiapk rom..???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kykiskly:
Choose hiapk rom. It will still let you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
once i chose hiapk it says "sorry test failed. this feature can not run on your phone"

...?? does my nand have to be unlocked or something??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kykiskly:
Must be. You need to be nand unlock with super user access RW rights :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
i have super user and what not but i raed before in order to have root acces with certain apps or programs your nand has to be unlocked.. but in order to do that i have to reflash my phone to stock and re root it using toast's method??

sound familiar?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kykiskly:
yep. best way to do it. I never did the unrevoked method.

It is easy and worth having. Just do it. You will suffer once but gain alot :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
can you point me to the forum to do the toast's method?

and nand unlock??

and can i update to 3.70 update and then root using Toast??

thanks in advance man appreciate it.

and one other thing.. is there an AMAZING app that can seriously backup all my aps and data in advance?? because all these apps ive used let me down and ive manually have had to do it all over again and thats the only thing stopping me..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kykiskly:
here

No problem. You will have to do some reading and pay your debts just like the rest of us did :)

PART ONE

PART TWO

HTC Supersonic/Guides & Tutorials

Lastly, personal suggestion on recovery image :) I prefer Amon_RA over Clockwork - Here is the LINK

As for the backup, anything you downloaded from the market is synced to your gmail account. Once you reload your desire ROM, and sync with your gmail, the market app will re-download all your apps. Notice that this will ONLY download the app and install it. None of the settings will come back.

Alternative --:D-- Go to the market and download titanium backup. The free will allow you to backup the app+data and restore them (BUT 1 at a time). The paid one will allow you to restore them with one click :D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kykiskly:

Other times they are Gray and things start happening, for example it keeps telling me it cannot authorize Google Talk. I can still connect to the internet and everything but just not sure why the Google Talk thing stops working.

This also happens when I am on WiFi in my house. Some times it will be green and other times it will be gray.

Any advice would be helpful

i believe that they are green when they are connected to google services i was reading about it on the forum the other night.

i am sure thats the reason, if not then someone please correct me as i pick mine up tomorrow
[Nexus S General] jdkackley:
I'm having this problem too. Mostly when switching from 3g to 2g. I believe what is happening is the data is dropping out. When data/wifi are green you are connected and all is well. The grey means it is not working. I cant figure out why I have the problem switching between 2g AND 3g. That is bugging the crap outta me. My Vibrant does it with no problems, the Nexus s not so much. Dont know if this is related only to gingerbread or the phone. Usually a reboot takes care of this, and a reboot doesnt take long on the Nexus S. But like the girlfriend says, "all that money for this phone and it doesnt work right?"

Is there some setting that I should look at? Or is my signal really that bad and I just never noticed it before since this is my first smartphone that actually reports this information?

[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
It's probably the prl list which tells your phone what towers it can talk to. Try running the *228, option 2 to update the list and see if it helps. Also, do you live in a former alltel area? That can complicate things as well. There may be an extra setting in the mobile network menu that you can change to improve reception.
