[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
Does anyone have an issue with the market? I can not download anything. In catlog it shows can't find pathname for completed download uri.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
tried a battery pull? Just checked mine, works fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
YES tried this.. I did have a problem with the latest market where I had to uninstall the market update to revert back to the ORIG market (before the update) to get it to download anything.. BUT since I did a ROM update, I dont have the old version anymore .. so NOW the latest version of the market does not download at all....

Any ideas??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If google voice came on your rom, make sure you haven't killed or uninstalled it. That will mess up market downloads sometimes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
I dont think it came with the ROM but I did install it. Anyway, its there and running fine so I guess that isnt the issue with the market...

HMMM
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You could try installing an older version of the market. Has it worked at all since the rom update? Or it just isn't working right now?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
It was not working BEFORE the rom update but I was able to uninstall the market update and use the OLD market and it worked fine..

SO I believe this is a GOOGLE MARKET ISSUE.. where can I find the previous market that WILL install on the EVO?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If you want, you can pm me with your email & I'll email you the vending.apk that came with cm6 for the Evo. I'm not sure if you can simply replace the apk in system/app or how to go about installing, but if you want it I'll send it to you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Just so you know, you can upload it here in the thread as well. And yes, the market apk can be replaced. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
When I click insert, it only gives the option to insert from gallery, camera, or URL. This may be because I'm on my phone, not sure.

And second, I just remembered that my market is themed. I don't think this will cause problems but the op may not want a matted blues market. If not I could pull it out of the original rom download.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Yea, that's just cause you're on the mobile app. And it wouldn't make a difference, just his preference, but yea the original apk could be pulled.

Also OP, what rom are you using?

I was making boot animations a couple of days ago when it occurred to me flying chunks forming a logo with a prominent 'S' in it had been done before...

[YOUTUBE]tCBYdwbOWV4[/YOUTUBE]

Maybe too vague of a description, but I found it amusing. I ended up making a boot animation of this.

*EDIT: Here's the bootscreen, if anyone's interested.
[Captivate General] adzidek:
Where do I get custom boot animations, and how do I install them?
[Captivate General] ruger94:
There are a few in the forums, search will find them...just make sure they are compatible with your ROM before adding them! Usually instructions are in the same thread as animations!

[A7 General] kingjf54:
I loved my eLocity A7, but lost it through an unfortunate accident...now, i am trying to decide between the A10 and the Ipad 2..i read somewhere on here the A10 " is rooted out of the box"...does that mean if can connect to the android market? Also, can someone explain "true multi touch?" The forums have been great, and I would welcome any input...thanks
[A7 General] t_sandat8:
decesions

one more to consider is the ENSPERT IDENTITY TAB 7" has android2.2 , full flash 10.1 browsing and full android market. only $350!! True multi-touch.

I'm guessing true multi-touch is the tablet being able to register and accept simultaneous movements on touch screen.

Which I don't know why that's such a big issue I don't mind using a zoom button or double tapping.
[A7 General] Poradicus:
I would get the eLocity A10 but if you have more patience on getting your tablet, best bet is to wait for A71, 72 models to show up sometime in April or May. They will have true honeycomb, I know eLocity A10 might be able to upgrade to honeycomb, but I am not sure about.
[A7 General] dburckh:
If you aren't not in a big hurry, I would wait and see what happens. Ipad 2 being a priced at $499, is going to put pressure on Android tablet manufacturer's to sell similar tablets for less. I would assume that most similar Android tablets will sell for around $399. It will be interesting to see what Motorla does in the next few days.

Anyway, I'm about as anti-Apple as you can get, but for $499 with all the new features, I'm even considering one. It is nice to see Apple actually being competative.

I haven't really missed multi-touch on the A7. I have it on my Vibrant and the only thing I use it for is to zoom out on Angry Birds. The simulated multitouch on the A7 works good enough in the browser.
[A7 General] kingjf54:
seeking information

Where do you guys get the information about upcoming tablets like the A71 or A72?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pegasus912:
I've noticed that one of the steps in flashing CM7 for the Vibrant is to flash "vibrant-efsbackup.zip".

See link-http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=968291

The question I have is: Does the vibrant-efsbackup.zip file backup of your efs for you (as the name suggests)? If so, can it be used as a standalone way of backing up the efs partition, without having to use adb or terminal emulator? I'm not using CM7 so this would be used with Darkys 9.3 vibrant edition.

Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Good question. Can the same zip be used to backup EFS if running deodexed/rooted stock Kb5?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philow:
Yes that will create a folder on your /sdcard called /sdcard/backup/efs and it can be used with this post:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
What about doing what I just did.

I used root explorer. Went to /efs. Copied the entire folder. Then pasted to my internal sd card root.

Then to have a copy on my computer, I just copied onto my computers dekstop.

I have an entire copy of /efs folder.

Good enough?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caldran:
I think you have to mount the folder before copying.:(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Yes you have to be rooted I think, and you have to mount it to see it, you also can't see it unless you use a root explorer type app.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlPapu:
I was wondering if there is an easy way to modify the launcher buttons on that specific ROM. Any help is appreciated!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajah sulayman:
I was a moron and didn't back up my RSA when I rooted, and now that I realize I need it, it's gone forever. I've already got a new phone on the way, but don't know what my options are with my old phone. I'd like to sell it to recoup some of my money, but without 4G I don't know what my options are.

I know it'll never work on Sprint's WiMax, but are there other options? Could someone buy it and, say, take it to Verizon? Or can I only sell it to someone to use on Sprint? Would its lack of WiMax apply to any carrier, anywhere? Will I have to sell it as a 3G-only phone?

Any thoughts or insights would be more than welcome.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I believe you'd have to sell it as a 3G only phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajah sulayman:
Dang. That's what I was afraid of. I was kinda hoping that maybe going to another carrier might somehow present an opportunity to fix it, but I can't think of how they could. The keys are the keys, regardless of the network.

Think I could get $150 for a 3G-only Evo?

Also - would they be restricted to Sprint, or could they take it to another carrier (and transfer their existing plan onto it)?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Right, since the keys are unique to the phone, but now gone. And I think that is fair...no keys, used, good condition. Still a lot cheaper than buying it out right, so I think you could get it for that price.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigjim1488:
I think you could get that price. I see people selling evo's for 150-200 with bad esn's so I can't see it being that hard to sell your evo as 3g only (most people don't have 4g anyway)

I was going to suggest you should try and flash it to work on Cricket but either would work. You could probably get a few hundred for it.

Edit: Just looked on CL in my area and there's a guy trying to sell a Cricket flashed EVO for $350 and another guy looking to buy one for $200 whether or not it has a good ESN. I'm sure you can get at least $250-$300 for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
I hate threads like this, RSA. I have no clue what RSA is. I got my evo and rooted it, flashed cm7 rc1 within a hour of owning it. Did I do the same thing, not back up RSA? I did nandroid before flashing cm7, so I have a stock image. Not trying to hi-jack the thread here, just trying to get information out there for people like the OP and me. Had he not posted I wouldnt know what RSA was, wait I still dont know what it is, lol.

Thanks

I will pay $150 for your 3G Evo, today. Wife wants one too now that she has played with mine (lol).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dills2214:
If you did a nandroid backup, you should be ok. To be sure, usb mount your SD card on your computer. Go to the nandroid folder and find that backup folder. Open it and you should see a backup file for each partition as "img" files. Find that wimax.img, copy and paste it to a safe location on your computer and you should NEVER have to worry about losing your keys.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
For the lawlz, but RSA = WiMax RSA Keys, aka the image so you can have access to 4G. The big problem with losing your RSA keys are that each device has a unique code, so you can't re-create them or just get another one. When its lost...you're outta luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajah sulayman:
I would, but my replacement Evo is still on backorder and I'm not planning on selling the old one until after the new one has been set up. I wanna keep the old one on hand so I can refer back to it to make sure I didn't miss anything when migrating my data. I probably won't be ready to sell my old phone for another week or two.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajah sulayman:
p.s. Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I think, once I'm finally ready to sell it, I'll list it as a rooted non-Sprint 3G Evo and see if I can get $200-250 for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
No problem, hopefully you find a buyer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Necrosan:
Take $250 minimum.

I bet if you put it on your local craigslist it will easily fetch that, if not more.

Or you could always put it on virgin mobile and pay some excellent prices :)

($25/mo is 300 mins & unlim data & texts, $40/mo is 1200 mins & unlim data & texts, $60/mo is unlimited everything. Prepaid for your convenience, same coverage and speeds as Sprint 3G)

Good luck with the sale!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajah sulayman:
Quick follow-up question:

Checking the Settings -> About -> Status shows my old number still attached to the phone despite a full wipe and confirmation that the phone no longer has service. Is this normal? Will it just stay there until the buyer takes it to their carrier and has it attached to their plan?

I'm assuming yes, but confirmation would be nice. If possible, I'd rather not have any identifying features on the phone when I sell it.

Bazinga. Flashed a stock Sense and the MSL key worked like a charm.

Final question (I hope). If I advertise it on Craigslist or eBay as having a bad ESN, will that get me in hot water?

EDIT: Guess that wasn't my final question. Even though the Phone Number and IMSI are zero'd out, my Sprint Vision username (xxxxxx@sprintpcs.com) is still showing up under About -> Phone Identity. How do I wipe that info from the phone?

So basically i have been trying to get into download mode for the past few hours and none of the manual button pressing options have worked for me. I recently just upgraded to the official froyo update (KB1) through kies just to check it out and I now cannot get back to download mode so i can flash back stock 2.1. I have sdk installed and am attempting to use adb commands but cannot get it to work :mad: I go into command prompt with my phone plugged in (with usb debugging on) and do these steps:

1. Opened command prompt on PC

2. Type CD\ to start at C root directory

3. from there I typed in CD \sdk\tools\

4. I then type adb reboot download and my command prompt shoots back at me adb is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file

Any help guys? This is really frustrating :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:

[Droid X General] shukero:
OK guys first off: This is my first android device, and I want it to be as fast as possible.

This being said, I just want either a DEFAULT Froyo 2.2 or default gingerbread 2.3 which means none of these stupid themes that motorola puts on it. Now here is why I'm here:

Is there a way without having to go through like 20 different steps in order to get the default android skin on my phone? I've jailbroken many a iphone but this android stuff is very new to me, so I was also wondering if there is an IRC channel I can go to or if someone would be nice enough to either guide me through or pm me through how to root my new phone?

thanks,

mike
[Droid X General] jeffnucci:
Search is your friend. Stickies help too.
[Droid X General] shukero:
I have been reading the stickies, I've also been reading about the roms and themes but there is some lingo in those posts as well as concerns.

For instance for the themes I've read several posts where it says to just load the themes on a rooted device, and yet others like the wiki here which says that specific themes are for specific ROMS.

Another problem with the stickies is I have no clue when someone last updated them, because some like the one for "Easy Root" or "z4root" MUST be old cause you can not find that app on the android Market place.

I just want to make sure that I'm getting the latest programs and such. I also wrote this because the one thing that me as well as a lot of other people want which is: Default Froyo. I dont want a custom theme, I want stock Froyo in all it's glory! Can anyone tell me of an easy to install ROM or easy to install theme that has this??

P.S. If there is an IRC channel for XDA could someone tell me about it? Cause I cant seem to find it at all :(

I have read most of that, and I get the first post, but then you seem to completely back track on the second one. I want the default Android skin from google on my droidx, so When you first said root I understood; but then you all of a sudden said that I need to deodex it as well.

This is the confusing part since you say in your post that it already included the root as well. So which should I do? root > bootstrapper > deodex? or just deodex then bootstrapper?
[Droid X General] blkrabb1t:
You have to be rooted, then flash the deodexed stock rom in recovery mode (hence the boot strapper). From there you can theme to your hearts content and even change the font if you wish.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:

Alright I've done some more reading on different sites like engagdet and there seems to be a legal program called "LauncherPro" Apparently you can reskin with this program, Has anybody used this program? and if so how good / bad is it for removing blur?

My main concern is rooting my phone as well as getting rid of BLUR cause I believe that will slow it down considerably. thanks!
[Droid X General] flyingpenguin:
Unfortunately, launcherpro doesn't remove or replace blur, nor does it change things like the notification bar or lockscreen. Its a launcher app, meaning that it runs over blur, replaces the homescreens and launcher buttons. It's great for what it does but for your purposes won't work.

Honestly, I think the best route for you would be to take the time to root and flash a blurless rom like liberty or fission.
[Droid X General] Lofi Goosh:
flyingpenguin is right.

Liberty is Blurless and you an install a Gingerbread theme on it straight from it's Liberty Toolbox app!

Check out my set up... I have Liberty 1.5 with the Gingerbread Blue theme and ADW Launcher EX.
[Droid X General] shukero:
What about the themes we were talking about earlier? Are those only available AFTER you flash to a ROM? Or are those just available after the deodexing? If so wouldn't that be the best and easiest way to get the stock froyo theme on my phone? or is that like launcherpro in that it just launches the theme over blur?

Also, I've seen your attachments and to be honest I don't like the look of it one bit, I just want a rom with stock froyo or even better stock Gingerbread.

Is there a rom out there with either of those stock? I should be getting my new droid x in the mail by next monday, at which time I'll probably be asking for more help, since I don't want my phone to brick the first day of use lol. :P
[Droid X General] thejamhole:
I used the z4 root on my dx. It took a couple of tries but it worked. I went with liberty 1.5 as my first custom rom and I love it. There are plenty of plain roms out there you can try. I just wanted something with a little more umph. Good luck!
[Droid X General] shukero:
well does liberty 1.5 come with the stock froyo skin? or is there a Gingerbread rom already out for the DX?
