[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
man, i still don't think we even really know what it does let alone analyze the changes, otherwise if you know whats going on with this other than to satisfy our crazy need to flash please share :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheNexxuvas:
What it does is very little. Nothing to really lose sleep over or even worry.

All a PRL does is add towers from Roaming agreements that just came online. Nothing less, nothing more...if you live and work in the same place it's a safe bet nothing changes for you...however, if you travel all over the country, then it is always good to have the latest Roaming List Update, specially if you are going someplace new you have never roamed before.

Other than that it's not a real big game changer like a Radio update. That's why it's called a Preferred Roaming List.

i use Verizon PRL 31337 =/

i get faster speeds and a more constant ping at work with it.

Wonder if we could get an updated Verizon PRL somewhere.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lopezpm:
So your using your EVO on Verizon?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mspk1111:
You can use verizon PRL's on sprint phones. Its really only used by people who have great verizon coverage in their area and bad sprint coverage. It causes the phone to connect to verizon's networks preferably over sprint's.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brownhornet:
Yea....and eventually youll get that good ol trusty letter from Sprint cancelling your service for going roaming too much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tangstang:
I'm a sprint rep at an ASC location and I've never had anybody come in and say they got that letter you're talking about, I know it can happen but haven't seen it yet.

And to the OP, a PRL can also remove towers from the list, a bunch of towers were removed from FL in a recent update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tbgreen89:
Would they really do that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
Yes they do that. Its also in that fine print on your 2 year agreement.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greenfieldan:
If you're constantly streaming videos and tethering non stop while roaming for MULTIPLE months than yes, they probably would. Outside of doing that, I doubt it. I tethered for a week while I was on vacation and I didn't get a single thing.

Btw, my phone says there's no PRL update :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] nuggyunlimited:
We can update prl the official way right?

That may be what eticket shows, but I updated my prl thus morning manually through menu>settings>phone updates, before I ever saw this thread, and it gave me 60674

[EVO 4G Android Development] aph:
ZIP attached. You can push this either via ##778# with the old EPST (attached) or using QPST/CDMA Workshop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DarkManX4lf:
If you search the development thread, there is a post on how to use the verizon PRL's. There are 3 PRL's that can be used.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
ehh not sure if I like this one, I was roaming at my comp a minute ago. That is a first
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1Brite1:
I received one! It was when I had my Instinct when it had the also had the "Unlimited" internet usage per month. Then, one year into my contract, the "Unlimited-up to 5GB" plan was implemented. My phone kept "Roaming" on Alltel even though the tower that Sprint had leased to use from them is right across the street. Anyway, it was a huge deal, the VP of marketing called and basically said that they would let me "OUT" of my four phone family plan without any EFT. I had been with Sprint for almost 20 years at the time.

Changing the PRL as listed on the forums will give you great speeds if Sprint leases tower space from Verizon. Like 3-4 times faster for me. However, it will say you are roaming and also your minutes will be roaming.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cygnus:
How do I upgrade the PRL on a CyanogenMod ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tiffany84:
U can't. Make a backup of your current setup and then wipe and flash a sense rom. Update your prl and then wipe and restore your backup. Pain in the butt I know but that's the only way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wanderingrobot:
Oh they do that. They threatened to terminate my account.

I blamed poor signal at my house for the phones roaming, made a big stink.

They sent me a free airrave! :eek::D
[EVO 4G Android Development] motenak:
You have to be kidding me! Thank God I don't use that ROM! I would think something like the ability to update the PRL would be included with any ROM.

[Captivate Android Development] illdroid:
Hi

So last night when I flashed my new created ROM with CWM, it seems like I ruined my boot loader, and from that I can't find the way to recover

SYMPTOMS:

- black screen

- power button doesn't do anything

- no button combination boots to download mode

- no charghing indication when connected to charger or USB

- no detection in the computer when connected to the USB

Is this the real black screen of death?

How did I get there?

I flashed a ROM through CWM, when it finished I selected reboot from CWM, and since then, all I see is black screen, no indication whatsoever to powering up.

I didn't try a USB JIG yet, but I will at Thursday (meet with a friend that has one)

as far as I understand the only way to recover from this is using a RIFF Box JTAG which requires, taking apart the phone, and soldering small wires to the board, and then reload the boot loader

Where do we go from here?

If it happened to you Please write down:

how did it happened to you?

what did you do to try to recover?

did you mange to recover?

if you did, how did you?

Why is this post so important to everyone?

Because if it didn't happen to you yet it might happen in your next CWM flashing.

So its very important to find a solution or at least the way to prevent it.

- update 31/12/2010 -

Cause

corrupted boot loader , bad sbl.bin flashing

Prevention:

do not flash roms/addons/fixes with sbl.bin

if you must flash sbl.bin, do it while you are sure that your USB configuration is perfect, and do it as less as possible.

Solution (for those who already bricked to black)

you're not gonna like it

find riffbox jtag....
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Happened to me too. I was tinkering with the Armani source to hopefully find something of use for Axura, and I bricked it. Same things happened to me. I called att and got a new one.
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
Did you try removing battery and putting it back and then opening ODIN, holding the volume up/down and inserting the usb to bring it on the download mode. I guess I might have experience almost similar issue with one of the rom. I almost freaked out. Phone wont show if its charging. It wont mount on the pc. But tried all the possible method available several times including adb shell command. And finally I did hear the magical sound from window when the usb is connected and finally it did work.

Also try the adb method if it doesn't go into download mode using volume button combo.
[Captivate Android Development] bulletproof1013:
Did u remove sbl.bin
[Captivate Android Development] qwertyaas:
Happened to me the first time I ran the OTA update from ATT. Paused the update, and when I resumed it - the phone though I finished downloading the JH7 update and tried to apply it.

It failed to apply and when it went to restart, it never powered on. No download mode, recovery, USB power, Odin, nothing. It was completely dead.

I got it replaced at the AT&T store.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
If sbl.bin was removed or corrupted you should call the warranty center. Tell them ota update bricked your phone. Lol good luck

sent from my cappy running di11igaf's rom v2.5 at 1280mhz!!
[Captivate Android Development] rootnik:
I think it is just bad luck. I was once being careless and had the battery fall out of my phone while flashing, it interrupted the flash and I was still able to get in download mode to Odin it. Needless to say, I'll never flash again without the back cover on ;)
[Captivate Android Development] illdroid:
Yes i'ts probably a bad sbl.bin, but I didn't remove it I flashed a new one, most of the rom's do the same
[Captivate Android Development] bulletproof1013:
yeah sounds like it...sry for your luck.but seems like its toast then. keep us posted
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
But if you had a batch 1008 captivate and you messed up during and Odin flash to stock then your screwed bcuz Odin one click swaps the sbl.bins to make your button combinations impossible. ADB would work but you obviously can't access that. I too have a 1008 and it sucks, that is why I bought a jig.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
There is a a way. Whenever you need to flash to stock you must use following stock. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=818439

This is same as normal stock posted by DG except that it includes sbl.bin that we (1008) need. I use it everytime and 3 button combos for Download, Recovery work great.
[Captivate Android Development] illdroid:
it seems like this is not my case

I'm still looking for other people who had my case, and recovered (even with the JTAG riff box) or at least find someone who know's what we shouldn't do, so we don't break our phones.

so whats batch 1008?
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
This happened to me last night. I was trying to flash the Darky port via CWM and during the flash it became unresponsive. I had to pull the battery. This caused 2 different things. Sometimes it would be a never ending loop of boot screens and then others it would just go into recovery where it wouldn't let me do anything.

From here luckily I was able to access download mode by using the "adb reboot download" command. So I then got into dl mode and tried to flash stock (not the 3 button fixed one) and it froze on FACTORYFS (or whatever it is). I had no choice but to pull the battery. Now it won't boot at all. So my assumption is it wiped the bootloader. I'm not 100% sure but I feel that the reason it stopped where it did was because I didn't run odin as admin on my Win7 pc. I read in another thread that someone had the same problem when they didn't do that either.

If you are in a pitch black room and you press power you can see your screen illuminate, it's just very dim.

I have batch 1008 if it makes any difference to anyone.

Either way I'm heading to the device support center in a half hour or so to try to get a replacement. I originally was going to make or order a jig but people are saying it only works if the bootloader is intact. I originally had hopes because one person claimed that they recovered a completely dead phone with it, but upon further reading all others could not. It seems like his phone may not have been completely bricked.

Update:

Just got back from the at&t device support center. They gave me a new phone without any hassle. They asked what was wrong with my phone and I told them that I was trying to update it and now it won't turn on. The guy tried a few combinations of button presses and tried hooking it up to a jig-like device. Nothing worked so he just gave me a refurbished phones. No questions asked. As I was walking out he said a few people have had the same issue so it's not a big deal.

Either way I thought this would help to realize that there is likely no way to get the phone to boot unless you have a jtag handy.
[Captivate Android Development] johan8:
I don't feel safe to flash rom via CWM.

If you really want to do that, delete the bootloader inside the .zip
[Captivate Android Development] mattbeau:
So i think i killed mine too

so i get black screen, two button combo gives me SEC S5PC110 Test B/d

I opened odin but nothing Is this toast?
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
I had this exact problem over thanksgiving weekend. My phone was was was hard bricked I was getting the "phone + computer" it took some effort to get it into download but I got it there and when I was recovering with odin the connection got lost the screen went blue and then nothing. It was dead totally unresponsive no charging or boot screen nothing but once I got a black screen with redlines. After a lot of attempts to revive it I gave up called ATT warranty for a replacement. Luckily I opted for the slow mail service and kept reading. Yesterday I saw the above post and now I can say "yes even now your phone is not bricked even though it does NOTHING"

step 1) first thing I did was charge the battery with my replacement phone as the bricked phone was no longer able to charge the battery

step 2) open odin1 click and hooked up the usb to the phone and computer no battery

step 3) inserted the battery holding only volume up+down

step 4) "BOOM" download mode and a happy dance

I posted this in the"read before flashing" thread there are other people who have recovered from this and now I think that the extra trick to this is getting a 100% battery you need this to flash, and state the phone is in now wont charge a battery.

hope this sound encouraging
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
It's odd because I keep seeing people saying things like this. I, too, have a 1008 Captivate. My button combos have worked from day one and Odin one click has never messed that up. Maybe I'm just lucky?
[Captivate Android Development] norcal einstein:
I believe there's a "fixed" 1008 batch. Not all 1008s are going to have the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
Yeah it's either that or just a misconception spread by the community. Both my old captivate and replacement were 1008. I have been able to get into recovery via the power+volume combination. I was also able to get into dl mode using the vol+insert usb combination.

It's possible I just got lucky on both but who knows.
[Captivate Android Development] C3P0LOL:
I, and many others have a 1008 that don't go into download or recovery via the button combos without fixing sbl.bin.

download Cache Cleaner NG.

Go into Recovery and wipe the Cache and Dalvik Cache

Don't use the stock Froyo apps to SD method, instead use the Darktremor method posted below. Make sure you move the cache to sd by typing a2sd cachesd in terminal emulator. Also, it is recommended that your SD card is Class 4 or higher.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
Just a thought....but Dalvik Cache can be cleaned up in Titanium Backup as well. Not sure to what extent and how good of job it does though.

Maybe someone can comment a bit further on this.
[HD7 General] gamefrick:
This is really good news for Microsoft and for WP7. In the article they made mention of Apple's IPhone4 sales of 1.7M in 3days. I don't believe the comparison is justified considering people know what the Iphone was before it launched.

I believe WP7 will do very in 2011 considering over 18000 developers have signed on to build apps for this new platform.

So we have 4200 Apps in 2months and counting on WP Marketplace. Android does not even boast of these numbers when it first launched. It took Google's Android OS about 7-8months to reach those numbers.

See article >>> http://www.slashgear.com/over-1-5m-windows-phone-7-sales-in-first-6-weeks-confirms-microsoft-21120510/
[HD7 General] digime:
I read it as manufacturers' sales to retailers.

That means you can sell 1.5 million phones but they might all be sitting on shelves in shops and store rooms.
[HD7 General] gamefrick:
Manufacturer sells to a retailer, I believe that's a sale. It doesnt matter when the phone gets to an end consumer. A sale is a sale.
[HD7 General] digime:
I like the optimism but these figures don't show traction.

I'm sure that will come provided we get the fabled updates early next year.
[HD7 General] gamefrick:
In addition, need I remind you that we are claiming 104apps daily, but this is certain to grow as the months go by. Currently Andriod boasts about 300 daily while Apple boasts about 1000. But this all happens with time.

Like what you said, the updates will give it a boost as well as Verizon and Sprint announced to be involved with the phone as well this coming January to March.

I am just optimistic and I want to see a stronger competition.
[Wildfire General] dungquoc:
As per a forum member of XDA-Developers , he states that HTC Wildfire Which is soon to get its Official 2.2 Froyo Update , Is a good news for some , but will give tough times to others , other uses who wish to Root their Android Device.

In Details warriorvibhu Explains that HTC Wildfire will be provided with a OTA Update with HBoot , a Bootloader which would be harder to crack / modify in order to Root the device.

What do you think about this???:eek:
[Wildfire General] 42turkeys:
Yes unrEVOked no longer works although as is the case with ANY update we can downgrade and use unrEVOked :D

What did visionary do? That should work :|

EDIT: looks like you've tried everything, however I have no sympathy for you, everyone is warned about accepting HTC updates and rooting

Also don't hold out hope of unrEVOked doing anything, to be brutally honest they couldn't care less about the Wildfire :(
[Wildfire General] dungquoc:
Yes visionary dont work. I tried that app. hix. HELP...
[Wildfire General] a1exander:
Download RUU and extract the ROM out of the .exe, then let it go through Android Kitchen and we got a Official ROM with root.
[Wildfire General] omiblack:
rooting?

So means Unrevoked will not update to help poor guys updated to 2.2?

Are you sure maybe they will figure out something to provide it!

Downgrade???

Do you think the technical staffs of HTC com can downgrade this ROM to OS 2.1? They invent the upgrade utility software, so do you think they can do downgrade???? I am going to the warranty my device. How do you think so?
[Wildfire General] Sander M:
I am wondering the same, what would happen when I try to flash the 1.37 RUU back on the phone?
[Wildfire General] Mowg1i:
If you have upgraded to the offical Froyo either OTA or from RUU your stuck in a hole.

The update changed the bootloader in the Wildfire meaning it is currently impossible to root (which rules out custum ROMS) and you can't role back to a previous RUU because they are written with the old boot loader.

Thats what the original OP of this thread is about.....the fact that it could be a while before it's going to get re rooted via unrevoked or any other method.

So your just gonna have to wait until rooting is supported again by Unrevoked or some other app, or some clever sod figures out how to change the new Boot loader.
[Wildfire General] dud3me:

[Wildfire General] atkinchris:
Sending it off for repair? If you're in a position where you can't flash a custom rom, or even the main zip of a shipped roms t-mo rom, then you are probably in enough of a position for it to look stock.

Basically; if you're root, then Roms to make it look "stock" are no issue to use. If you're not rooted, then why are you trying to find another Rom before returning it?!
[Wildfire General] bassmonkey:
Yeah, I think t mobile would notice that their splash screen isn't shown, and that the software numbers don't match :)

Infact I'm not sure what u mean by your comment. If u actually read my first post its quite clear why I can't flash the t mobile Rom.. bootloader error! And as to why I want to do that, well, that's also explained and quite why u think it is or isn't justified matters not one bit buddy

even the most talented devs were noobs once... so there's hope for the rest of us! :)
[Wildfire General] atkinchris:
Ah, apologies. I forgot you mentioned the boot loader error.

If restocking is your only hurdle between getting it repaired, then it may be worth just sending off.
