HI again!! so far so good...I do manage to understand and execute the process of adb flash recovery...but as soon as I choose recovery from HBOOT mode...my phone seems to freeze immediately to tmobMyT4g logo...and it seems to stay a while from there...1st question is..do I need to unplug my usb connection from pc then press recovery?! or do i keep it plugged in...for now...Im gonna try the original recovery.img for it...I'll just have to start all over again to permaroot the phone...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
to reboot the phone while in fastboot just type
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paolocab2000:
same results still...ends up with the logo...BTW with the original ROM PD15... do I use it as an image file or follow the instructions on this thread?http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10781618&postcount=3
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolcanicSkunk:
can you show me exactly what the command window is telling you? From what I understand, you typed

fastboot devices

and got back your phone's serial. then typed

fastboot flash recovery C:/what/ever/the/path/is/to/recovery.img

and got back

sending recovery...okay

writing recovery...okay

and then went to bootloader

and attempted to reboot to recovery

if this is the exact process you used, i'm not sure what could be the issue.

and the pd15img.zip, you will follow the instructions in the post
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paolocab2000:
no.1

Yup exactly what I did...seems frustrating...any method i use goes to the same logo freeze...but before this happened...in the first place...I tried to replace the (system/bin) folder on the root...coz i haD this issue of placing back my original WPA_supplicant becoz it seems that it wasnt detecting WIFI networks at all...then as soon as I restarted goes stuck with the logo...I was hoping that I could flash it back with the original ROM...then now its this...

no.2

Also when i try to use the older recovery.img, it goes to that red triangle with a exclamation mark angle...

no.3

I also tried to restore to factory settings from the HBOOT menu...it goes after wards to the logo after having that cellphone green cycling icon and a status bar...

No.4 as soon as try the steps on the PD15img.zip methods... I dont see any phone detect options or begin update options...it all ends up with the tmobile logo
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
When you do the PD15IMG method you store the PD15IMG on the root of the SD card and turn the phone on holding the power and volume down button. It should never get to the boot image.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paolocab2000:
Well like what the method instructed...as soon as I press the power+volume down..it goes straight ahead to my Hboot menu...THe options mentioned on the above method doesnt seem to appear.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
as soon as you boot into the bootloader does the system check for the PD15IMG?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paolocab2000:
yup it does check for it very quickly then after that...HBOOT menu...then as soon as I choose one from the menu..i get stuck with the Mytmob logo...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
when it searches for the image is it telling you "image not found", and did you extract the stuff to the SD card or leave it compressed?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paolocab2000:
I dont get to received any error message such as image not found...and yes I leave the PD15img.zip file as it is uncompressed..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paolocab2000:
AAAhhhh at last!>!! something worked!!! I followed this link/thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=919834

The only clockmod that worked for me is 3.0.0.0. reinstalling stock rom as of now...I guess I have to restore to defaults for now...and attempt to install custom roms some other day!! Tnks to all who helped...!! For now...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolcanicSkunk:
Just to let you know, you'll only be able to flash Gingerbread ROMs with ClockworkMod 3.0.x.x. You have to use CWM 2.5.x.x to use Froyo ROMs. Just wanted to make sure you knew that, so you don't get into another "brick" kind of situation.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paolocab2000:
I do believe you are correct...it so happened that i have tried loading Clockworkmod

2.x.x.x and 3.0.0.5 and the only thing that passed through the logo and showed the menu is 3.0.0.0...

I also made a mistake in placing the PD15img.zip file on my SDCARD as "PD15img.zip.zip" because the extensions are already associated and it its these small things that one has to be really careful about the certainty of the process step by step.

Anyways as soon as I corrected the file name...my HBOOT loader automatically did the job..but I am back to square one...but this time IM gonna use the older clockwork MOD to install Froyo roms...which my main problem in the first place was losing my WPA_supplicant file..in which I lost the WIFI connection capabilities of the phone..in which it made it difficult for me to access key files to reflash and boot the phone again as a default factory phone...
[EVO Shift 4G General] AndyRoss:
Hey everyone!

So I am a little new when it comes to the issue of WiMax 4G.. I'm in Orlando, which has 4G, and I am able to successfully able to connect with the 4G radio (though I do find myself dropping from 4G to 3G depending on the area I'm in).

When I am sitting at my desk at work, I can send myself an e-mail to my google account and not receive the push notification that it had arrived. I've been testing this over the past couple days and noticed that when I would pick up my phone (still connected to 4G, by the way, though there are no "bars") and load up some application that polls for data, such as Facebook, the sync would then occur and I would get the notification.

So my question is this: Is this the expected behavior of the 4G radio? Does it sit in an "idle" state when not being used, which would then restrict it from receiving push notifications? I did disable 4G at my office and the data connection seems more reliable (push notifications are immediate).

I've had this phone for only three days, so I'm giving it a couple weeks to see if I might need to exchange the phone, but I figured I'd see if anyone more knowledgeable than myself could shed some light on things.

Thanks!

- Andy
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jo_795:
from what I know if you are bouncing back and forth from 4g to 3g then in that part of the area you have very weak 4g signal and better off just sticking to 3g in that part of the building. it could be that since its bouncng back and forth that its not pulling the data automatically like it should.
[EVO Shift 4G General] AndyRoss:
[UPDATE]

I'm resurrecting my own thread, because after another week of testing on multiple devices (total 2 Shifts and a 2 Epics), I'm ready to make the following statement:

Sprint Android 4G phones do not reliably push using their WiMax radios.

I've tested this in several different ways, with both my Shift and my buddy's (rooted 2.2) Epic. My actual test went something like this:

- Find a place with at least one "bar" of 4G (listed as fair, though this is repeatable outdoors as well, just easier to do next to the computer)

- With 4G OFF, send myself a message to my GMail account. The notification happens on the PC instantly, and anywhere from 1-20 seconds later on the shift.

- Turn on 4G radio. Send another e-mail to the GMail account. This time, no notification hits the phone (I waited at least a minute before continuing to the next step).

- Run Speed Test (I contacted the helpful HTC support desk, who actually told me that I might be on 3G even though I see the little 4G radio icon). This last run I register 3.6Mbps down and about 1Mpbs up. That's not 3G. At this point in the test, I received my e-mail notification once in the 10 or so times I tried this. The other nine times I STILL had not received my notification.

- At this point, if I wanted to see the message, I either switch off 4G or manually refresh the GMail application.

Note that this test was repeatable on my phone on GTalk, Voice, and the new Android Market (downloading apps from PC) as well. The Epic only did this test twice; once indoors with GMail and once outdoors with GMail, but I imagine the other push applications would behave exactly the same way.

I wanted to be ABSOLUTELY sure about this before bringing this thread back, but now that I am, here's the question: Anyone with 4G coverage, can you repeat these findings, and is this the intended functionality of the 4G radio?

Sprint tech support (who I also contacted) indicated to me that I should be able to push on 4G, as did HTC, so maybe I'm missing something here. In any case, I figured this was the best place to ask.

[EVO Shift 4G General] RyteSyde:
Just did some testing for you. Disconnect 3G, wireless and only enabled 4G. Sent an email from my exchange server to myself and it pushed to the phone in a couple of seconds. I replied from the phone and it was in my outlook again in a few seconds.

So at least 4G and exchange work fine.
[EVO Shift 4G General] AndyRoss:
I wish I had an exchange server I could have tested with as well. As I mentioned, I used only GMail, GTalk, Google Voice, and Market. Among the things I looked at was the field labeled "Standby Time" in the WiMax section in ##DATA#. I haven't messed with it (default 10 minutes), but if you're willing, can you set to 4G, wait this timeout interval, and attempt your test again? I'm trying to put the puzzle pieces together. :)

Also, I haven't entirely ruled out either my device or my area, yet I do think it strange I can repeat this with another device simultaneously, with both having 4G signal.

- Andy
[EVO Shift 4G General] RyteSyde:
Same result. Also GMail is notifying just fine though not as fast as exchange, but still less than a minute. Have you tried turning off mobile network (3G)? Then you'll know you're only on 4G for sure. You can add the widget under widgets >> settings >> mobile network.
[EVO Shift 4G General] AndyRoss:
Thanks for checking into that for me. I will try disabling 3G at work tomorrow (I would do it from home, but I typically don't get 4G where I live). Also just verifying, you were testing with 3G on as well, or only off? One of the things I was theorizing was that push notifications were being "handled" by the 3G radio, but since 4G was on, they weren't being processed until that radio was reactivated.

In either case, I have something else to test, so thanks again! :)

- Andy
[EVO Shift 4G General] RyteSyde:
the way I did it was to have only 3G on, do the tests, turn 4G on, do the tests, turn 3G off, do the tests, leave phone alone on 4G and let it be (items still notified).

Glad to help.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] suchavibrantthang:
can't wait to see this. my thoughts:

-duck hunt boot animation (if possible, tap to kill while waiting to load or with silly dog laughing)

-contra ANYTHING!

-RC Pro-AM car mode or icons

-Paperboy mail icons/news&weather notifications of newspaper toss animation

edit: i think Spy Hunter should be in your theme somewhere. love that game.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SLG951:
I second with contra and anything with metroid of course
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
I knew I had to post for ideas...already loving suggestions...i have a lot more ideas that I think you guys will love..metroid ball, zelda triforce and more...

But also post where you think the icon would match best if you can...

Sort of like the first post...another example...going to use the metroid ball for syncing animation...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
Even if the final boot animation is not the duck hunt..I'm definitely making this one...unfortunately you can't interact with it during boot...but still doing it :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tonicacid:
This is awesome I was messing around with lock screens the other day and thought it would be bad ass if the puzzle was the tri force from zelda and you moved the last golden triangle over to unlock...just a thought.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dligon:
what would be great is a pong bootanimation. or something like two androids with the apple logo bouncing between them like pong.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
sounds good...keep them coming guys..like i said..cant promise ill do everything...but getting ideas helps...there are 1052 icons to work on...not going to change them all...cause it would probably kill me..but ones like the puzzle icon is very much doable..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
love all the bootanimation ideas...will probably just make these as extras as I can only choose one and I like them all...so one idea will go to theme and any extra boot animations you guys suggest I will make as flashable zips so you can change whenever you feel like it...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I'm pumped you're doing this Harpo, I really wanted to do something similar, but I've just have had way too many other side projects. Very excited for this. These are all awesome ideas so far! I'll try to think of a couple more. :D

Very impressed, I thought I was the only one who ever played RC Pro-AM! (The first one of course.) That has easily some of the best music of any 8-bit game when you start it up, still gets me pumped to this day. I have an old NES I restored to start games INSTANTLY, no blowing/fiddling necessary! :D I popped that game in the other day just to hear the soundtrack. Another not-so-well-known game I loved was Road Blasters, anyone remember that? Best sounding up-shifting ever!

Will report back with ideas fo sho! :)

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
My suggetions is to simply pixilate the majority of icons while throwing in some key recognizable game images in backgrounds, settings menu, shudown, things like that.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Love both of these ideas. How about Metroid ball rolling for the sync animation? And maybe instead of Mario pipes for battery, using invincible Mario (star power, small to big) for the charging animation, Bowser for ≤5%, Toad for 6-15%, little Mario for 16-50%, big Mario for 51-75%, fire Mario from 76-99%, and Peach for 100%?

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
lol..already did the metroid ball for sync animation...we are in sync :P

like the mario small to big for charge animation with the..

i did pipes for battery percentage cause it was easy to overlay green battery % over the pipe with little work..it is 100 seperate pngs you know :P..i got lazy with that one...

Ill see if I can to that idea...I also dont want to do to many mario stuff...battery animation sounds good..and at full charge a star ;)

stairs for signal is good too...with flag for full signal
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
ill see what6 i can do for that..and yes..we need excitebike somewhere :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
quick update...I made 65 icons today...one by one...took about 3 hours

Done so far:

sync animation

airplane mode

puzzle locks (triforce it was ;) )

this was todays work..bot is this a lot of work..but keep those ideas coming..they are great and really helping and ill keep updating as I go.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GreggoryD502:
What about a boot up animation of little mac jogging from mike tysons punch out?

Powered by Axura with a dash of Voodoo
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] secretseven:
Punch out, you can use the star punch sound when charger is connected, or sound from mario when you get a mushroom.

Your options to work with are insane, just deciding is the hard part.

River city ransom, double dragon, a ton of options with zelda, red and blue power bracelets for wifi on and off? Or candles, Boomerangs, rings

I'll think of some more stuff
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
That's what makes it so hard to choose...so many options and trying to think what the best fit Is...

The sync animation looks awesome with metroid ball ( jdan and I were in sync on that one...)

I used triforce for puzzle lock and I think you guys will really like the out come

boot animation will be pong related..that's decided...i spent over an hour working on that yesterday and thats coming along really nice too...however I do plan on making quite a few options once theme is done since everyone has great ideas and they all seemreally cool in my head...they will be flashable seperately so you can choose..but after theme is done

Battery charge is mario getting a mushroom...thanks jdan and it looks great...and I like the ideaof mushroom sound when you plug in charger...on it..

I just hope you are patient cause I spent over 4 hours yesterday to custom make 60 icons...and as I said..if you check the zip...there are over 1000....but all these ideas are really helping and each one I implement looks so great afterwards I love this theme more and more...on february 8th I'm off work for a month for health reasons....but that means I have more time to work on this theme...

I'll keep working on it til then of course but its so much work (i mean...4 hours for 60 icons..i know I'm slow...but I'm trying to make it do you guys love this theme...)..

Keep the ideas coming and as secretseven said..the hard part is what game for what icon...

Don't let this thread die out...i need you guys..

I did post. Y missed it, that's all. Remember I told you I was not good at games? I'm old enough to remember when all there was was pinball. I couldn't even do that. My brain and hands don't work well together except moving fork from plate to mouth and other simple movements. All my life it's bothered me that I am not good with games. Therefore I have no frame of reference since I never played them. Most of these games mentioned I've never heard of. Pac-Man? Sadly, I sucked at it! It's that bad.
