[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidcobra2002:
I really have this huge problem that's been really bugging me all week and i cant seem to concentrate with it over my head. I am new to rooting devices and i was a little ahead of myself recently... I finally rooted my phone and over my excitement i just had to add custom roms to my Evo 4g, i didnt really understand what i was doing, i mainly followed instructions to most sites, mainly cyanogen, and got the latest version of cyanogen, i had troubles starting it up at first, it was stuck on the bootup screen for cyanogen (droid on skateboard with spark flying around) and it kept going black and reloading, i didint know what to do, so i took the battery out after a hour of waiting then i wiped my drive in fear of bricking my phone (i know i wasnt thinking) i did not make a back up of my previous point of time where i actually practically running stock, and i am still upset at that mistake, after doing a factory reset from the clockwork recovery, cyanogen finally booted up, but was missing alot of things, i.e. android market and so on... im now wanting to go back to stock and i have already got Son somehow, can anyone help walk me through this, id very much appreciate it!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
The reason that you were missing things in Cyanogen, is because you didn't flash GAPPS (google apps), which are things like Market, Gmail etc. If you already have S-on, and you're sure you want to go back to stock, unrooted, then it shouldn't be too bad for you. One way would be to download a PC36IMG.zip, place it on the root of your sd card, boot into the bootloader (power+voldown), and it will flash the factory ROM for you. You could also run RUU, from your PC. Plug phone into PC with USB cable, and run the RUU from your computer. Either of those methods should work for you, and get you back to stock. Here are a couple links that might help you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidcobra2002:
Thank you so much for a quick reply, it really helps, but one more question, i tried to run pc36img, but it keeps saying it failed because a older version was present, also, sorry for asking another, but i have also wondered this other method with all these other download links, there is alot and how would i know what one to use?

also! i tried running the first download and it keeps saying that my phone isnt connected even if it is? does it need to be in debugging mode or what?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradley26:
you have to flash most recent gapps for market.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Do you know what hboot version you have? If not, boot into the bootloader (power+voldown), and it will say hboot version at the top I believe. If you have an older hboot version, I'm pretty sure you want an older PC36IMG or RUU. If you notice, they all list different software versions (3.70, 3.30, 3.29, 3.26 etc). The 3.70 is the newest, and I believe you'd use that for the newest hboot versions (2.10 or 2.02) The older hboot's (.76, .93, .97) I believe you'd use either 3.29 or 3.30. Someone please step in and correct me if I'm wrong or misinformed. I'm also not sure if you need to be in debugging mode, I would try putting it in debugging mode for sure (I've never had to unroot, but have read up on how to do it) If you are getting the main version is older when running the PC36IMG, I would try a different PC36IMG, one with older software, 3.29 or 3.30. I've read many times of people needing to try different ones before they got it to flash. That's why there are so many on there, because different phones may require different versions, I believe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidcobra2002:
It is Hboot-2.10.0001
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You sir [user above me] are correct. I have linked ya to a site with a lot of RUUs, and they list the version number.

http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/

Download the RUU, boot into the bootloader [turn off then hold vol down while phone turns on] then select fastboot, then run the exe, and follow zeh instructions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Which PC36IMG or RUU did you try? (which software) You may need to try a couple different ones on there.

So i'm running CM7 and I was at the airport yesterday with no free wifi. I used the USB tethering feature built into CM7 which happened to work just fine.

However, i am just wondering, is there anyway t-mobile will know i'm tethering?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
Heard yes and no, never been billed for tethering through my carrier
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i n f a m o u s:
All I used to do was tether my HD2 to my notebook PC but I can't get that feature to work with this device anymore.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortskoolbus:
It worked great for me. I couldn't even tell I was tethering, that's how fast it was.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
AFAIK, no. There has been no definitive answer to this. However, I don't believe T-Mo has any "long armed reach" into your phone. All they are is a carrier. They provide you a signal, what you do with that signal is up to you. All they should see is a steam of data to various points on the internet on their end.

Now, if these points happens to be things like a WoW server or CoD server; aka things that 100% can't run on your phone -- maybe they would have some info. Surfing, email, and downloading should all be totally innocuous though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dman777:
I ordered the Nexus and am waiting for it to come in. However, I am starting to wonder if I made the right choice. I really like the Bionix rom for the Vibrant because of all the features it has.

When shopping for a cell phone, should I look for a phone by the roms that are out now for it or for the roms that will come out for it in the future?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitaL BlisS:
Well, unless you can travel in time, I'd look at the ROMs currently out for it, and whether or not it has a locked bootloader.

As open as the Nexus is, and considering it has Cyanogen support, I'd say you're guaranteed for lot's of other dev support. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dman777:
I went on the Cyanogen forums for the Nexus S and it was virtually empty....hardly any posts. I'm kind of scared how far this phone will go with development.

[EVO 4G General] drew16:
Hey I know that the main problem with the Evo camcorder is in how it is encoded and the main restriction holding back the quality is the speed of the sd card. I would like some feedback for those of you who upgraded their sd cards on whether it has had an impact on video recording.

Thanks

currently I have the stock sd card, but I'm considering upgrading if there is a significant difference in video quality
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
no increase on mine

cl6 16gb
[EVO 4G General] Holyrolla:
I've had two memory cards besides the factory 8GB. One was a Sandisk 16GB Class 2 and the other is a Lexar 32GB Class 10. Video recording on the class 2 cards while panning at a good clip introduces artifacts into each captured frame, and the fps drops considerably. However, with the class 10 card, both of those are reduced significantly. The artifacts are virtually non-existant and the fps slow down only happens when moving the camera really fast.

I would definitely look into getting a class ten. Two cards that people are going with are the Wintec 32GB (avoid the 16GB) and the Lexar 32GB. Check out www.provantage.com for the Lexar card and www.newegg.com for the Wintec one.
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
I'm using a class 10 16gb, After looking through my videos, I would say there is a small improvement in quality. Mainly in the old videos I noticed every once in a while it would get pixelated, the new ones don't and theres less of a grainy look. One MAJOR thing I want to point out is on the old 8gb class 2 I was using a sense camera now I'm using the asop one in CM7.

I would just go spend the $30 and get a better card, it'll make your life better in every way!
[EVO 4G General] TBoner101:
anyone know what the threshold is for sd card classes regarding quality? in other words, besides faster data transfer speeds to another device what is the lowest class # needed to see improvement before its overkill?
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
Seems class 10 works well. If I get time at some point I'll try to do a test with similar lighting and such. I have class 2,4(?)6, and 10.

Also one point I want to make is I got my 16gb class 10 on newegg for $30(wintec, it has horrible reviews but mine works fine), but theres a ton of others and check out the accessories forum a lot of times people will post up when they find a deal.

If you just want more speed theres lots of 8gb class 6 for under $15. Micro Sd cards have dropped a whole lot in a short time
[EVO 4G General] TBoner101:
i dont care too much for faster data/file transfers to & from a computer as id rather spend the extra money for more storage than on a class 10 when a class 6 improves video recording just as well.

on the other hand, if apps or videos that are installed onto an external class 10 sd perform better than class 6, than itd be worth the upgrade, but im not sure if the phones processing power is the limiting factor or the weakest link, if that makes sense.
[EVO 4G General] nolig2278:
any one else care to share their thoughts of say a class 6 vs a class 10. I still have the stock class 2 in both my evos and video quality is very unreliable.

Thanks
[Nook Color General] mmtoman:
I have customized 0.6.7 running and love it. There are a couple things bothering me though, I cannot get into rom manager at all. Pressing power and n button doesn't work and opening rom manager and hitting reboot into recovery doesn't work. Anything that can help me solve these problems???
[Nook Color General] Mikroft:
If you've used the customized 0.6.7 imaged that was flashed from a burned SD card there is no CWR. I've heard it's due to some compatibility issues but I may be wrong. If you need CWR just boot from the SD card again or better yet use the Monster pack to create a blank SD with just bootable CWR.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] szczecinmeister:
Dear XDA, I would humbly ask for your assistance please.

A bit of a sad, long story =( I spent 3 hrs last night trying to do a 3 minute job for a friends SGS.

Firstly, I had to use a custom jig to force download mode. For some reason my SGS has 3BR, but this guy doesn't.

So I try to install voodoo 5.4.1 - it does this, and when it finishes, it does robotic voices and tries to boot up, then his bloody kies pops up at the initial booting screen, and it never finishes booting.

Logging into the IRC channel for voodoo, I realise the problem may have actually been that his phone firmware was 2.1, which means I made a horrible mistake...?

So then I'm trying to do things like installing the eclair version of voodoo, installing the stock firmware from sams firmware. Etc etc.

At some stage there was a problem that it repeatedly said "converting data partition to optimized extension 4", which troubled me more.

So, right now, it has a rom on it that supercurio gave me that gives me a recovery screen. I'll attach a picture of what it looks like, and some errors that may help.

Regards,

Szczecinmeister

P.s. When I try to attach my image taken from my phone, it says after approximately 8 posts I can post links?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
I assume you were using odin so the first thing you should have done was the 3 button fix. There is a great topic in the forum. Its title is something like '3 button recovery fix - 110% safe. Just search or google it. Should be easy to find. I used the odin method and it takes under 5 minutes.

Secondly, anytime you flash with odin you need to kill off kies including the tray agent running in the backgroung.

Anyway, not sure if you can fix it now by just flashing a kernal so its probably best to do a full odin flash back to stock. Use a firmware that has all 3 files and tick repartition. Should get you back to stock. Just remember to also do the 3BR fix while you are at it.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] szczecinmeister:
Hi sxi200,

Thank you so much for your response. So you're saying I did the right thing by trying to flash back to stock firmware using Odin, but I should have just ticked "Repartition"?

I tried fixing lack of 3BR on another phone, but it made a brick out of it! Obviously I did something wrong, but it was a little freaky. This is the second time it's happened unfortunately... very frustrating.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] msolus:
Not to be rude, but you really should have done more research before attempting this. Clearly you're not well read enough to be messing around with your own phone - let alone that of a friends.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dadyal:
Install Android 2.2.1 ROM And then Flash Voodoo 5.4.1

any rom with 3 files and repartetion ticked
[Galaxy S I9000 General] szczecinmeister:
Thanks Dadyal, I've done this and now after booting up it has a black screen, and buzzes once, then twice - as if a program is being unresponsive. Not sure what to do here, but I assume I need to boot into recovery mode and format something...?

msolus, I resent those comments... this is not the place for rebukes and retrospection. I'm not sure if you consider that a valuable contribution, but I'm going to continue using Voodoo on my phone and recommending it to others who are also interested.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] icejagans:
Intsall JPU with repartition and .512 pit and you should be fine
[Galaxy S I9000 General] szczecinmeister:
Um, I've heard that JPU is not good to use, and I should be using JPY...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] icejagans:
Agreed but u need the full package that jpu provides and then once your.phone is working you can install jpx, joy,js3 js5 the skys the limit.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan@msx:
JPU with .512 Pit file has the required updated boot loaders for the froyo build, as you have a 2.1 build by default these will need to be updated 1st before you can go to JPY, JS3 etc

i would recommend flashing JPU with re-partition ticked, with a .512 pit, then flash JPY no pit or partition, then choose whichever rom you required
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alferret:
I agree, JPU then your choice after, had to do this last night due top bad theme, works with lag fix enabled as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] szczecinmeister:
Hey guys,

JPU Rocked My World!!!

Okay, so all of his "data" is there, like DCIM stuff, but all his text messages and contacts are gone... I take it these are not recoverable??

Thanks very much guys! Going to give him the tasty voodoo rom now.

Oh wow... and as an extra... that also gave him 3BR!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan@msx:
pretty standard to lose the SMS and locally stored contacts (best saved to sim for back up)

did you stop at JPU or go further for JPY or JS3/JS5?

glad to hear that you sorted it tho :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] szczecinmeister:
Thanks Dan! Actually I was having trouble accessing internet. I just flashed it to DTJP5 because I thought that's what is probably best since it's what I have. Prior to all this he had DTJP3.

Then I discovered stuff about APNs and installed that. I'll just leave DTJP5 I think, he doesn't need the latest I don't think. He has lost all the Optus apps though and I'm not quite sure how to get those back.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan@msx:
as the firmware is a generic version it will remove all operator apps and run as a "Vanilla" samsung firmware.

have you re-added the APN settings and recovered internet/mms access now?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] szczecinmeister:
Thanks for providing that detail Dan! I did re-add the APN settings... so the internet works again.

However there was an error when I opened the contacts... it disappeared very quickly, but it said something about media not being available, and returned back to the home screen.

So... not sure what's going on, but I have a few ideas on how to isolate the problem. I think it may have something to do with the touchwiz interface, so I'll try accessing contacts in a couple different ways, and perhaps also even load on another homescreen UI.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] szczecinmeister:
Okay so, it appears there are some system processes that are failing.

On startup I get: "The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Then when I close that, "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." When accessing contacts I get: "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

So, errors aside, I cannot call others or see contacts, and I think media might also be difficult to access. When I accessed it, it was slow, but the other guy said he got an error trying to access it.

Any ideas on what's going on?

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Need more info, e.g., are you using a custom SMS app such as handcent, or are you using the one bundled with android? Is it just a picture you're trying to send? Does it show that it's sending endlessly or does it fail? Do you see mobile data activity in the notification bar after you press send? Are you positive your recipients aren't receiving the message, and that your phone simply isn't realizing that the message was already successfully sent?
[HTC Wildfire S] ubnub82:
HTC announced the wildfire S today which has close specs to the Hero. It has gingerbread sense ui and has a 600 MHz processor and a 3.2 inch screen. So I'd it possible we can port a rom of it to the Hero?
[HTC Wildfire S] c00ller:
Just FYI, 600 MHz on one phone is not the same as 600 MHz on another phone. The CPU in the phone you speak of is at least one generation newer than what we have. Read here for more details

http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/for...msm7225-msm7625-processors-how-good-are-they/

Basically it will probably be very difficult to port. nfinitefx and others tried very hard to get a stable port of the original Wildfire, and that was hard enough.

[HTC Wildfire S] neoazrael:

More likely that devices they update will have the unlocked loader, not old devices..Why would they bother? Too much hard work! No profit from doing it! Much the same as there usual update methods (2 updates is enough for the consumer)

Well what they do is just add wee bootloader code to Android 2.4 and that's it (yes Wildfire S will get 2.4 update for sure)

ROM Capacity

Hi all,

Please , can somebody tell me if he has a more information about Android and especially Widfire S. I just be a proud new member to Android operation system change from Windows mobile . On specification Wildfire S has a 512MB ROM and 512MB RAM. So the question is , why after reinstalling Android OS( Hard Reset ) from this 512MB i had only 124MB free space for installation program.

What should I do to increase ROM free space.

Thank you in advance.
[HTC Wildfire S] thehumble1:
Because that has to include the base ROM and all of the applications that it's running. HTC sense takes up a lot of space.

best to unlock, root and tear out a bunch of that bloat.
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
I've been trying to get info from HTC about a possible update, at least to 2.3.5 but the guys at tech support are too vague and didn't even reply to bug reports I sent them. I have the latest European RUU and it has some problems with force closes after installing apps from Market, gave the guys all my phone info, yet still they don't know if there are plans to upgrade the phone.

However they promise that they'll let me know as soon as they know something and also say that they want to guarantee the best possible user experience.

I guess ICS 2.4 would be perfect. Now that it's officially released I suggest HTC to Get on their Boots (like U2 would say lol).

The WFS has enough hardware to run ICS so what are they waiting for?

I've had so many phones from HTC and even QTek (former HTC) that I expect some level of commitment on their part.

Sorry for the long post. Needed to uncompress my thoughts... ;-)

ICS is currently Android 4.1 not Android 2.4. ;) But yes WFS can run gingerbread and so can run ICS also.
