Without a doubt, Samsung is under a contract with VZW to be able to provide updates to their customers. The iPhone is irrelevant to our situation.

definitely not coming to us but I think it is probably a good sign that some u.s. galaxy s owners are getting froyo
[Fascinate General] lbmorgan:
I completely agree they are in contract with Samsung .. but it is pretty much common sense when a company takes on a large scale project other projects can be delayed.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Companies as large as Samsung and Verizon have multiple teams handling multiple projects at once... Another device launching from another manufacturer (or even the same manufacturer) has nothing to do with us

[General Questions and Answers] ugly_bob:
Resetting won't do anything to remove the rom. You will need to find a stock rom for your device and flash that.
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
I am currently s-off via UnrEVOked. I want to go from .97 to .76 to get fastboot.

Is it as simple as flashing the file from recovery?

1) Do I need to clear cache/dalvik?

2) Do I need to re-flash the ROM/radio/PRI/NV?

3) Any other implications or dangers of doing this?

I'd appreciate any info.
[EVO 4G General] Noxious Ninja:
If it fails to boot up after you downgrade, you'll probably have to reflash the ROM.
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
1) What is the likelihood of my device not booting, based on what you have seen from people's actual experience?

2) If my device boots okay, then nothing else to worry about?

3) If my device does fail to boot, will I be able to boot into recovery? Will a nandroid restore suffice?

Thank you.
[EVO 4G General] InfectedMushroom:
Not reflash the ROM, just the kernel should suffice.
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
For my knowledge, why is flashing the kernel necessary at all? If HBoot is a different part of the phone (sort of like a bootstrap), shouldn't the OS/ROM/kernel/radio/etc. not be touched at all?

Thank you.
[EVO 4G General] ElectronBlue:
Snovvman-

Search for hboot in "EVO android development" section. I think Caulkin started that thread. It has the .76 hboot version with installation instructions. I would also recommend updating your recovery if you haven't already. I have AmonRA v2.2.1 with hboot .76 on my EVO. Amon's recovery has some cool features. Good luck dude.
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
Thanks. I have the files from that thread (actually on my subscribed list), I actually have all the HBoot versions at the ready. I am currently using CW 2.6.0.1 for now and I like it okay. There are even a couple of threads to help people with 2.x Hboot to go back to .76. Reading through them, they just don't exactly apply to what I'm wanting to do. I'm simply gathering some data before diving in.

Edit: I started the thread because I have read in different places where either 1) no additional flash is needed, 2) must re-flash radio/PRI/NV/etc., 3) must reflash ROM, or 4) may need to reflash kernel.

I not only want to know what one actually must do, but why...
[EVO 4G General] jxr94:
My experience with downgrading my hboot went like this. After I applied the 76 hboot and tried to boot up, it would loop me back to the boot loader. After I went to recovery through the boot loader I flashed a new rom and got out of the boot loader loop. If you downgrade, you WILL get in that loop unless the method has changed and you will have to reflash a kernel or the whole rom.
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
Thanks. From what version did you downgrade? I presume the radio/PRI/etc. stayed intact?
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
There is a thread about this. Search!!

From what I can remember, the older hboot doesn't work properly with the newer nand chips, specifically those with 40000 byte erase blocks possibly present in rev 0004. Flashing an old hboot onto one of these results in a bricked evo.

ymmv
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
Thanks. As I indicated in a previous post in this thread, I am aware of the post you cited, as well as another. They are actually both in my subscribed list. I have the 20K partition. I started this thread because those threads describe steps to go from 2.x Hboot to .76, not .97 to .76. I have yet to see a specific case where somone went from .97 to .76. I wanted to know if going from .97 would be less problematic than from 2.x.
[EVO 4G General] InfectedMushroom:
I went from .97 to .76 with no problems other than the expected bootloop. I just reflashed my kernel and was good to go. No need to reflash the rom.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
That used to be the only method of unlocking the NAND, you are safe. If you haven't done it yet then the best way to do it is through the bootloader though.
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
Thank you.

xHausx: Do you mean to do that by renaming the .76 Hboot to PCIMG36 and boot into the bootloader to let it flash?

Again, just for my education, why is this better than flashing through recovery?

Cheers.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
You will need it packaged as a PC36IMG to work, I went ahead and attached one with it if you still need it.

As a rule of thumb flashing from the bootloader is always safer than from the recovery. Odds are if the bootloader can't flash properly your phone would already be a brick, so you know it will be good. Although with something like the bootloader the recovery may actually call on the bootloader to do the actual flashing but you never know.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adavis99:
Well, took me a while to figure out how to setup exchange for the Cyanogen Mod 7 (CM7) nightlies. I figured this could help some others having trouble. It asks for email address and password. I would enter this. It would fail. Then I realized it actually wants this:

[Domain]\[UserName]@[exchangeserveraddress]

So my email address might be: joe@mail.com

But I know my exchange server is "exchange.mail.com"

and I know my domain is "Staff"

So I don't enter joe@mail.com as my email address. I instead enter:

Staff\joe@exchange.mail.com as my email address.

Note: At my work, exchange is setup with all kinds of security and none of the auto discover junk that helps with setup. So these settings may help other people with 'difficult' exchange servers. For others, this may be completely unnecessary.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Weird. I didn't have any problems at all when I went to Settings>Accounts>Add>Corporate. Just punched in my email, pass, then on the next screen the username (Domain\user), FQDN of the public-facing exchange portal, and enabled "use all SSL certs" because my admin is a cheap crackhead who refuses to get a real cert.

Worked first time, too. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scriptx:
Thanks Joe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adavis99:
Yes, there are all sorts of variables with exchange depending on security settings, auto-discovery settings, and the version of exchange server. What works on one server, does not work on another.

At my work, exchange is very secure with none of the auto discover junk that helps with setup. So these settings may help other people with 'difficult' exchange servers. For others, this may be completely unnecessary.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikegoldnj:
I just tried cm7 nightly. No problem getting exchange set up BUT my server requires that the password lock be setup on the phone and I kept getting a message that phone did not allow the required security. This is not an issue on the evio2 Rom I've been using.

Anyone else run into this on cm7?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
That's because your other ROM doesn't have a fully compatible Email.apk which supports all the ActiveSync admin permissions. Just setup a phone lock which meets the minimum complexity (usually a 4-8 digit PIN will suffice), and accept the Admin rights via the notification you get.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikegoldnj:
My other ROM does support the ActiveSync permissions, which is why I'm able to successfully setup the password and sync with the Exchange server. This is NOT the case with CM 7.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adavis99:
So you setup a lock with PIN, but it doesn't recognize this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 41rw4lk:
Exchange

Hey all, I found this thread while looking for a solution as to why I cannot setup my exchange account. I'm using CM7 but I have a moto cliq xt (I know this is the EVO threads).

I'm not sure from reading this thread, but are you all successfully connecting and syncing to exchange servers with CM7?

I know my credentials are correct (they worked on other roms and on stock) but I'm not sure what the problem is now.

My username is different than my email address on the exchange server, so Joe's suggestion wouldn't help me. I have a logcat from my push to the server if someone might be able to point out the problem from there.

I apologize for posting this in your thread, but I'm out of options and can't get an answer or solution from my home thread.

*Note - another user from my thread was able to, but his username matched his email, and he did it like Joe suggested. Also, I can connect using Touchdown and the same credentials (but I don't want to use Touchdown as I would like the native Email app to handle this.)

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckuykendall:
I know this thread hasn't been touched in a while, but I don't see a good solution for my particular Exchange setup. I run into the "This server requires security features that your phone does not support." issue and I was wondering something. If I have the Mail app from stock backed up in Titanium Backup, can I restore that app and use it? If so, would I need to uninstall the Email app that comes with CM7?

Since I really really miss my calendar/contacts sync from before, I may not wait for an answer and just hope that my nandroid backup in ROM Manager is a good safety net and go for it. I'll post my results if I do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckuykendall:
So I didn't wait, and I went ahead and mucked with it, but I got way less than stellar results. I was able to uninstall "Email.apk" using Titanium Backup, but when I tried to restore my "Mail.apk" from the same, it just sat there and never completed. I assume that the installation actually failed behind the covers due to some requisite not being in place and that TB was not able to interpret the error as a failed restore.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sagacious1:
ok so i bought this xperia x10a two days ago and never personally had an android before so i didn't know anything about rooting or custom roms until recently i've been shoving my face in the middle of it. heres whats ive done so far...

installed android sdk r08 windows

installed x10 usb phone drivers

adb in cmd prompt shows device listed with serial number so i have the install right

ive installed universal androot 1.6.2 beta 5 using adb install

i opened up androot and rooted the phone with superuser and matching firmware option, androot says it worked.

i tried to load google earth apk, and im STILL security blocked--what gives?

so i didnt sweat it, i figured maybe i should try another rooter. i installed z4root using the same method. i opened the program and it asked me if i wanted to re-root (because androot thinks it worked i assume) so i went ahead and hit re-root. it went through its process and says it worked as well.

yet, i still cannot install google earth because of the ATT security block. could i somehow be rooted but still have this security block? i don't see how, isnt that the purpose...to unrestrict the phone?

anyway, my x10a is still running 1.6 eclair and ive used sony ericsson's update service program to try upgrading to 2.1 and give it another try but their program says my phone is up to date when clearly my phone shows its firmware being 1.6. ive hit a brick wall with this...can anyone give me a sledge hammer? for the brick wall i mean, not the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] firstrock:
The reason you still cannot install non market apk's is that ATT has turned off the "install non market apps" by default at the factory. you are going to have to install a custom ROM in order to get away from the ATT branded phone. Google installing a ROM for X10. I did it on a friends phone a few weeks ago and got him up to 2.1.1

Good Luck!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sagacious1:
well, i can install non market apk's...i installed both universal androot and z4root USING Android SDK. once installed, both of them say they can root the phone. now, i actually get asked whether i want some programs superuser access, and when i say yes--it allows it. i think my problem with google earth not installing via android sdk is that im still running android 1.6 and Earth requires at least 2.1. I don't see a x10 rom for 2.1 on the market to try it and ericsson update service still says im fully updated with the latest. if i can manage to get 2.1 i bet you i can install google earth and anything else that will run on 2.1. android sdk seems to be a viable workaround to the non market app restriction if im thinking about it right...i just need 2.1 now and continue using android sdk to install my 3rd party apps until a fully functional and stable 2.1+ custom rom comes out for the x10. anyone have any thoughts? give me a another 3rd party apk to install that will work with 1.6 and ill try to install it and see what my results are.

Hi i really need some help here. I stupidly was testing out the samsung dive mobile tracker feature and forgot i already set a pin for it. So when i locked it, i cannot remember the pin at all. I've tried everything.

Is there any way for me to flash the phone or reset it at all? Bare in mind i haven't flashed this apart from the official way of using samsung kies. I don't mind using ODIN if i have to flash it that way. It's just a case of whether ill be able to connect it up to my pc because it asks for a pin and there is no way of actually getting in by using a forgotten pin method.

Just noticed my available space on my internal sdcard is sitting at around 2 gigs. This makes no sense. I dont have any music on it and I have gone through and deleted old pics and videos. I have also deleted old nandroid backups as well as files that i used to flash like roms and fixes.

Any ideas on whats causing this. I am running Kirf custom with voodoo enabled.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
Are you sure that, that's your internal sd card and not the external sd card that you are reading off of? If you do have an external sd card please remove it, then reboot your phone, then check your memory once again without the external sd card inserted. Doing so should eliminate any confusion/confusions of you reading the wrong information.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamboyd83:

damn, never heard of that before
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamboyd83:
Me either. I was just messing with it. Stroke of luck I guess.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
You must have a mac, adamboyd. Am I right?

This has to do with the way macs "send" files to the trash can, which is different than a PC's recycle bin. A mac does not move the file from where it was located when you send it to the trash can, it simply places it in a hidden "trashes" folder. This isn't an issue when the files are on your computer, but when you're using your mac to delete files on an external drive (flash drives, or your phone's sd), the file remains on the drive in the hidden folder your mac created and eventually you run into the problem you experienced.

Solution: Always empty the Trash Can before ejecting the drive from your mac. That action searches out and permanently deletes all files located in the hidden trashes folders. If you empty the trash can after you've ejected the phone's sd from the computer, then obviously it won't be able to locate and delete the files that you had "moved" to the trash.

Hope that helps!
