[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenotoriouspie:
I've flashed every recovery image I found in the development section and all I get is a black screen when i try to boot into it. It's an ATT locked streak from best buy.

Anyone know how to fix this? Any advice would be extremely helpful
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edrill:
Try the StreakMod recovery instead. You'll find the post in the Streak development section.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] truss:
Hi,

I have a mt3g, TMobile. CyanogenMod 6.1.0, ClockWork recovery. Used ROM Managed to flash Amon Ra recovery, since I needed to re-calibrate the battery. It asked me to pick phone model, picked Ion/MyTouch 3G. After reboot:

- Stuck on splash screen if I try to go to recovery

- When booted up - a bunch of force closures, keeps playing a ringtone over and over and...

Everything I tried to do through ROM Manager didn't help.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Do you still have root? If you can get into ROM manager, reflash clockwork recovery, then wipe cache, dalvik, and run a fix permissions. That should get you back up and running long enough to try again to flash amon ra.

Not sure if the oem spl will let you fastboot flash a new recovery but that's your most reliable bet.

It sounds like it might be time to do a full wipe and reflash anyway. Have you heard of Ohsaka's SuperWipe?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] truss:
I tried reflashing Clockwork through ROM Manager. It says "root granted", "clockwork flashed" immediately. When I try to boot into recovery - I get stuck on green MyTouch screen forever. Battery pull is the only way out.

I guess the problem is that I cannot get to any recovery anymore. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kodjo:
Do you have fastboot. If so you can flash recovery from there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] truss:
Can I do that through adb shell? I don't think I built fastboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Fastboot is a different mode. Boot into hboot (vol down + power I think) and then select fasboot from the menu. Then plug into computer. From a command prompt type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

The recovery needs to be in your tools or platform-tools folder and named recovery.img for this to work. Otherwise it would be fastboot flash recovery c:\path\to\recoveryfilename.img. Make sense?

Link to Amon_Ra Recovery 1.7 for MT3G 32B. http://www.filefactory.com/file/caa48b0/n/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img

Otherwise keep trying with ROM Manager. Might take a few attempts to get recovery to stick, even temporarily. It did for me. Flash once then flash again. There's also an option in ROM Manager settings to erase recovery prior to flashing. Check that and see if it helps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] truss:
I appreciate your help.

When I try to flash recovery.img, I get this: error: cannot load `recovery.img`

When I try running fastboot with absolute path, I get: FAILED (remote: not allow). Is there a way to fix this?

Tried flashing through ROM Manager many times - no result.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Interesting... Where are you trying to flash recovery.img and getting that error? What method are you using? Are you sure you have the path to recovery.img correct?

As for fastboot, you need an S-OFF/engineering spl so I guess that's out.

What happens if you use Terminal Emulator?

su

flash_image recovery sdcard/recovery.img

Does that work? Keep at it, you have root so not all is lost. Eventually you will get there.

EDIT - make sure you rename the recovery to "recovery.img" and leave it on the root of your sdcard for my italicized instructions above to work. What ROM are you running? If flash_image doesn't work I need to know which version of the binary to give you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] truss:
Thank you very much.

Running flash_image recovery command using adb shell a few times did the trick. I was able to boot to Amon RA recovery, wipe and flash CyanogenMod 6.1.0.

Does anyone know of a way to get a wii controller app to work on the samsung captivate? I have read that it's not possible with any of the apps out now... Every time I try to connect with my phone it says phone not supported or something along those lines... I'm running Cognition v3.02 so I thought maybe I would be able to get it to work. Has anyone found a way to get around my problem.

Thanks in advance.

Also phone is rooted if that helps any.

Anyway to change out my bluetooth version to one that would work?

I saw something about the docks being free with purchase at one time at Sears, but I combed their site and can't find the docks. Googling I see a few Chinese sellers, but not sure if what they are selling even works.

I ordered mine on the 1/1/11 and tonight i recived my tracking number but with no info to what company they used to ship it with.

next time just do a quick fourm search, most of the dock info is in G Tablet Accessories.

also these are not Official viewsonic docs, but it has been confirmed by many that they work well.

I just received mine yesterday (ordered on December 26th from Merimobiles). It's a legit Malata OEM dock, in Malata packaging. So I assume it will work fine. I know there were some issues with ethernet port support in some of the ROMs, but these are minor software issues we can fix once more people have the docks in hand.

I plan on trying out the dock today, but I think it will otherwise work fine.

[myTouch 4G General] nccu_eagles:
I am having a very annoying problem with my t-mobile service. My plan has three lines. I have a mt4g, my wife has a mt4g and my daughter has a mt slide. My plan has unlimited voice/text/web/android etc.... for some reason over the last few days we cannot send or receive picture mms. if we attempt to send a picture via text to anyone they receive a blank message. if someone attempts to send us pictures via text we receive the text with an icon that says "download" but when we click it nothing happens and we can't see the picture. I have taken out my sim card and placed it into my nexus one and the problem still remains. I put my sim card in an old mt3g, Samsung vibrant, and a g1 and the problem still remains. I called technical support for t-mobile and they have no clue what I am talking about and kept me on the phone for over an hour. I then drove to a t-mobile store and wasted 2 hours of my time. They gave me a new sim card and witnessed that the issue still remains. This problem is very weird and annoying. I was just curious if there is anyone else out there in t-mobile world who has also experienced this issue? They gave me a trouble ticket two days ago and still haven't been able to fix any of my lines. You would think that since this is happening on three separate phone numbers they would realize its a network issue and not my devices... HELP?
[myTouch 4G General] JagLau:
Go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names. Check to make sure TmobileData is selected and not TelKila. For some reason the phone switches the APN and breaks MMS.
[myTouch 4G General] nccu_eagles:
I deleted the TelKila when i first got the phone. i'm on the correct apn as i stated it is happening on all of my phones not just the mt4g :mad:
[myTouch 4G General] Chadastrophic:
That's been happening off and on for a few days. I just ask the person to email me the pic instead. Any phone can mms a pic to an email address, just use the email address instead of a phone#. MMS seems to be a little wonky the last week or so, about the same time the winter storms hit the south.

Hello Friends,

I am new to Android world, and I have been seeing many articles regarding rooting DHD and i want to do so.

I have sim lock free DHD which i bought from expansys.com , does gold card is different than sim lock free thing?

While start up my DHD shows t-mobile image and i am unable to get in to bootloader using Volume down and power button. Can anyone help me with it. Do i need to get my DHD a gold card?

can anyone please help me out?:confused:

Thanks & sorry in advance i have annoyed you guys with this question.

Looking forward to your replies.

Hi

On your phone press Menu > Settings > About Phone > Software Info

If you have build number 1.32 you don't need to downgrade and can proceed straight to rooting it, but if you have 1.72 you will need to downgrade.

I've posted links to all the relevant guides for downgrading / rooting / debranding T-Mobile DHDs here:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] not_a_geek:
Thanks CitizenLee.

My build number is 1.75.111 so i think i need to downgrade as you have mentioned, but do i need to get goldcard for that?

if i get the goldcard would my phone still be a simlock-free?

Please don't mind my stupid questions.

Looking for your help.

Thanks a lot.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] descenpet:
if you are on 1.75.111.x you will most probably need goldcard. go into bootloader and check the CID. if it is not HTC_001, you will need a goldcard to downgrade to 1.32.405.x. sim-unlocked phones stay unlocked so don't worry about that.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] not_a_geek:
Thanks descenpet,

Yes its 1.75.111.2. But there is one more problem i am not able to get into boot loader i know its strange but is there any solution for that.

I used volume down and power button to get into boot loader but instead of getting in to boot loader it just starts with the t-mobile startup.

Thanks for your help.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] descenpet:
if the fast boot checkbox is checked in settings>applications, uncheck it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] not_a_geek:
Thanks it worked.

Now i am able to see the boot loader screen.

it says S-on

H-BOOT 0.85.0018

RADIO 26.04.02.17_M2

eMMC boot

where to see CID information? and what is IMAGE CRC?

Thanks again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] descenpet:
it's in the System Info menu. i'm not sure if there is such menu in SHIP HBOOT. or you can type getprop ro.cid in terminal or ADB shell.

either way since your phone is from t-mo and build is not 1.xx.405.x i guess you will need the goldcard anyway so just make one.

Well I am contacting my lawyer. I signed up for one thing and if they change that, then I will be leaving sprint "the last network" and I will take them to court for breach of contract. I would be willing to bet if all of there family plan customers who spend 129.99 a month that don't qualify were to up and take this stance..... well they would probably amend it real quick.
[Epic 4G General] dmarden:
I did read my contract once, I don't believe it says you will get XYZ upgrade options/etc. Just plan and pricing stuff.

I'll still be "Gold" base on time and monthly cost. I'm not sure if I would be upset or not otherwise, but I can understand the change.
[Epic 4G General] searchfirst:
as bad as it is that they are removing the biggest perk from the program, it was never placed in the contract for this exact reason. FYI for those interested family plans must be on everything data $169.99 and individual $89.99 or higher. Add a lines, add on do not count. *****

Sprint is updating the program for 2011 with two tiers of benefits, Sprint Premier Silver and Sprint Premier Gold, making sure that Sprint Premier Silver retains the benefits that were popular with the most customers. Effective 4/1/11:

Sprint Premier Gold customers must only meet ONE of the following three qualifications:

· Individual plans with a 3-month average MRC** of at least $89.99, or

· Shared plans with a 3-month average MRC** of at least $169.99 MRC, or

· Tenure of 10+ years with Sprint

Sprint Premier Silver customers must only meet ONE of the following two qualifications:

· Individual plans with a 3-month average MRC** of $69.99 – $89.98, or

· Shared plans with a 3-month average MRC** of $99.99 – $169.98

Once Sprint Premier Silver customers reach 10 years service with Sprint, they automatically are graduated to Sprint Premier Gold status regardless of the plan they are on.

** 3-month average MRC is based on voice plans only, not including add-on services, and is figured before any discounts are applied.

In addition to the change noted above, it’s important to highlight that both Sprint Premier Gold and Silver customers will continue to receive all the other perks: discounts on accessories, proactive plan checks and just because offers; device credits that are among the best in the industry; and exclusive extras like Premier Community, anniversary rewards and first to know.

Sprint Premier remains one of the best customer loyalty programs in the wireless industry. When compared to other national carriers, the Sprint Premier package of benefits far outranks any rewards program currently offered***

[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
@CapsLockKey

Right. It doesn't matter what your monthly bill is or how many add-ons you have. It goes by the base price of the plan for the primary line. The yearly upgrade has always only been for the primary line so they don't figure the price of additional lines into the equation.

This base price or "MRC" is also the same thing that Sprint uses to determine the commissions that they pay to their non-corporate retailers.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
At least they are still offering 75 dollars off on the silver and not throwing out the yearly upgrades entirely.

Is an ETF the same, or should I say, does it max out at some point?

I don't see the reason to do this, unless that's the case. The whole point of the early upgrade is tacking 2 more years on the contract. If every 12 months you add 24, seems like a win for sprint, unless the ETF is $200 for 1 year or 5 years.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
If you plan for a single individual is over 89.99 for one person and over 169.99 on the shared plan with combined total for at least 3 months you will be in the gold membership status with Sprint. I have confirmed this with Sprint through multiple rep's and with my account of 129.99 shared family and 4 add on phones with the 1500 minutes, I will qualify and be in the Gold membership status with Sprint. Some people are getting this mixed up and think that their bill needs to be $169.99, or the $89.99 before anything else to qualify, but this isn't true. Please, I recommend you call and get things straight before posting false information.
