[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaizvn:
thank you for your help.

but is PC36IMG.zip needed to put into the sdcard, right?

no rename, just update?

I'l try and tell you the result.

btw, one more 'thank'!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentphantom:
yes, put on sdcard, allow bootloader to read and update and you are good to go as far as recovery is concerned. good luck!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaizvn:
excuse me agentphantom, I've install go to bootloader and run that file, but I still can not access the recovery to flash rom.

anymore suggestion?

p/s: may I know what is the pc36IMG used for?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
The PC36IMG is the system file the bootloader recognizes as like a system updater. And did you select update and then to reboot, once prompted?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaizvn:
sorry but I don't see the "update" to choose.

I press power + volume down button => it take me to the hboot interface.

The menu there are : fastboot - recovery - clear storage - simlock - hboot usb.

5s later it start to run the PC36IMG file with no notification and log, very fast and disappear.

So, what would I do now?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Two things to double check, to be sure that that the bootloader will recognize PC36IMG. 1) the PC36IMG must be named exactly that. It has to be capital letters, and you do not want it to say PC36IMG.zip, just PC36IMG. The phone automatically recognizes and labels it as a zip file. So if you named it PC36IMG.zip, it will ultimately be named PC36IMG.zip.zip, and will not be recognized.

2) Be sure that the PC36IMG is on the root (main directory) of your SD card, and not within any folders. It won't be recognized if it is in a folder.

If you make sure of those two things, then the bootloader should scan and find the PC36IMG, and instead of seeing it searching and the green lettering pop up, then disappear, you will see it ask you if you want to update, use volume up to select yes. Hope that helps you out.

Edit: And yes, I went to download the PC36IMG attatched above in this thread, and it is indeed labeled PC36IMG.zip. Rename it to PC36IMG (just remove the .zip) That should take care of it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Also, I never saw this confirmed in the thread, but you were previously rooted and had a custom recovery prior to this problem, correct? And you are indeed s off at the bootloader?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaizvn:
I do in correctly, download the file at #2, put in root and go to bootloader.

I see the green line run on screen but havce no confirm form Update or not.

My phone is not rooted, no recovery, can't boot into android ROM, just start and restart at EVO logo.

Help me to install recovery to flash another ROM, I hope it will wake up my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devonparrish:
Okay so it was never rooted? What did you do right before your phone stopped working?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaizvn:
do nothing :(

this is my friend's phone.

He give me to try to flash a new rom for it.

but it's not root or recovery....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devonparrish:
Okay so it wasn't working when he gave it to you right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
If you're s on and not rooted yet, I dont think you'll just be able to flash recovery. You need to root it first, then flash recovery. You should download an RUU or a PC36IMG of a factory rom. That will get you back to stock. From there, you can run Unrevoked to root it first though (you need to be rooted to flash roms). I will attatch a link with all of the PC36IMG's (you run from bootloader) and RUU's (you run from computer). You can use either method to get the phone back to stock condition (what I recommend). You will at least be able to boot then. From there you can decide if you want to root it and flash a ROM. Read up a bit more also, it will benefit you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaizvn:
thank you very much!

I'll try anything to wake up it, I thing it's not the Hardware problem because the phone can start but can't go in the OS. But, mine is Sprint CDMA Evo, do you have any CDMA stock ROM for me to download and flash?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
It's not a hardware problem, well, most likely not. Download a PC36IMG from the link I provided for you. It's hard to say which one you need, but try this one first. http://db.tt/gqTAPS1. That is a factory, unrooted ROM for the Evo. It is the latest software, 3.70. It may or may not work for you (you may need an older one, but not sure) What you need to do is download that file, rename it exactly PC36IMG. Put it on the main directory of your SD card. Shut the phone off completely. Hold Volume down and Power simultaneously until you reach the bootloader. At this point, the bootloader should scan the sd card, find the pc36img and ask you to update. You would then press volume up to select yes. Once it starts, let it run through its course. It should take a few minutes to complete, and you will see a couple different screens. whateveer you do, dont pull the battery while it's updating, and be sure you're battery has some charge on it, so it doesnt die in the process. I hope that helps. If that update successfully completes, the phone should be exactly how it came out of the box. Factory Rom. Good luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaizvn:
thank you k2, I'm downloading and will flash it A.S.A.P, I'll tell you the result.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bc910:
Bit off topic but not really...

My EVO was rooted running cm7 with the latest clockwork gotten from and installed from rom manager.

Ran fine for about a week. Then right after pressing send on a replied email, reboot!

Crap I thought I was gonna have to retype the whole thing again...

Nope, it turns out the email had enough time to send but the phone never did reboot.

Just got itself in a loop. White HTC logo, vibrate, white htc logo,vibrate...

Could get to boot loader but when trying to access recovery I would go back into the same loop.

Kinda gave me the impression that the recovery partition was corrupted.

I was already out so I thought "what the hell" and took it to the sprint store. The tech was looking and working on the thing for literally over an hour on my phone (took about 3 hours from when I brought it in). Then finally the tech came out and asked for me. I was positive he had finally figured out it was rooted and was gonna tell me to screw off. Well, instead he said "honestly, I can't figure out what the heck is wrong with this thing, I'm just going to replace it for you,I'll be right back".

OK so now I'm expecting a refurbed phone with my battery and ad card shoved in it. He came back with a new EVO box...

Then he handed me the new one with the 8gb (I only had a 2 in mine) card and the original battery (I have the extended one). Then he said "your card battery charger and everything else is in the box".

SCORE! Haha sometime I actually like sprint...

Moral of the story: if all else fails take it to the store.s
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devonparrish:
Dang that's awesome! :D yeah every store I've been to has been more than happy to just throw a new phone at me haha
[Captivate General] Dante04SRT:
It's my last day to enroll in insurance for my Captivate.

How many of you have it on your phones? If something breaks and you do wind up making a claim, did you get a new phone or refurb?

I need to make a choice quickly and I'm leaning towards NOT getting it simply because at $5/mo and a $125 deductable, I think there are (or at least will be) better deals online for replacement and if it happens, I think I'd rather apply that towards a NEW phone.

Opinions?
[Captivate General] diablo009:
I didn't enrol.
[Captivate General] bigbooty:
I got it. $5 isn't that big a deal. And a new phone for $125 ain't bad either. I've found that the att deductible goes down the older the phone gets.
[Captivate General] malicenfz:
I bought it at Best Buy, got their insurance.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
I also pay the $5/mo, but I mainly got it because I was about to take a trip out of the country. I'll probably drop it after another month or 2
[Captivate General] Dante04SRT:
Do they give you a new phone for the $125 deductible or a refurb?
[Captivate General] thebone01:
I didnt nor have I every paid for insurance on my phones. My wife got it for her iphone, but that was her doing.
[Captivate General] bay_wolf:
Not enrolled here but I never buy extended warranties either. My philosophy is that if it lasts through whatever warranty they give me then I got enough use out of it and it was probably my fault it broke. Although I would recommend http://www.squaretrade.com/ if you need an extended warranty.
[Captivate General] comdei:
I have the insurance, I plan on sometime dropping my phone and saying it broke and get a newer phone...

When something good comes out first
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
They replace it with a Captivate...
[Captivate General] comdei:
I talked to them and they said you can choose to put the balance towards another phone ^.^
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
It's a scam.

Unless you are the worlds most clumsy person.
[Captivate General] Dante04SRT:
I think I may just forget about the insurance.

I really hate the idea of insurance in general - One one hand, it's there if you need it, but on the other, you're paying LOTS of money for the chance something happens, and even if it does, you've still got a damn deductible. Makes me sick to think how much money I've wasted over the years on things like car insurance, never having had an accident - By the time I do need the insurance, I'm sure I will have pissed away enough money to have bought 3-4 new cars... Bad analogy considering the risk when driving, I know; but still.

Ugh...

As for the Cappy, it seems like AT&T wants customer retention so bad that they'll always get you into a contract renewal to get a new phone - somehow.

[end]Rant[/end]
[Captivate General] z28james:
Car insurance is not just for your benefit. The part that is forced onto you in every circumstance is liability insurance and that protects other people and their property from you. When you have a loan out on a car, the forced collision and comprehensive coverage protects the bank from you totaling or damaging their collateral.

If you own your car outright, you can choose not to carry the coverage that would fix your car for you.
[Captivate General] Dante04SRT:
I am well aware how car insurance works. It's just one of those things that really sucks that you have to pay.
[Captivate General] newter55:
Unless you are getting scammed, you can pay full coverage for forty years here and not cover the replacement cost of a vehicle. Auto insurance is one that is well worth the cost, not to mention the medical costs that are the result of an accident. But back to the question at hand....extended warranties, or phone insurance in this case, are indeed high margin services which is why even walmart has begun bugging you every time you check out.
[Captivate General] MagillaGorillaX:
$125.00!!!!

Wait a sec. When did it go from $50.00 to $125.00?? Where was i for that?

As for weather you get a referbed or new. When i was replacing my backflip i told them i was tired of dealing with crap and i wanted a new phone sent not a referbed. they sent a new one no problems.
[Captivate General] dmnall:
The captivate has always been a tier 2 phone so the.deductible is $125. Tier 2 used to be 200 then dropped to 150. As for the comment about the older the phone gets the cheaper the deductible is and I van say on some phones that is not the case. When I was running a blackberry bold 9000 it is still considered a tier2 phone and it is a 3 year old phone and I refused to pay 200, 150 or even 125 for that phone. I waited until my upgrade and got my captivate on launch day.

[Captivate General] gibson3659:
I opted for AT&T insurance instead of Squaretrade because AT&T covers theft. I have Squaretrade on all my kids' electronics (iPods, DSi's) to cover the accidental damage.
[Captivate General] Dante04SRT:
Well, I decided to wing it and not sign up for the coverage. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed. I wound up getting my Cappy w/ 2 yr agreement for $59.99 (price match!) and can't see paying even the 3% per month of what the std $149 2yr agreement price was (plus then the $125 for a claim).

I do worry about theft, but I'm so strict about letting this thing out of my sight, I'm not too worried about it.
[Captivate General] lskohn:
That's me! :o Had the phone barely two months and I dropped it and cracked the screen...glad to have to pay only $125 (plus the 2 monthly payments I had made) for the replacement and yes, it was a refurb, but ended up with a newer phone (from the Device Support Center, not insurer) because first replacement was within the recall range.

I'll keep the insurance another 6 months or so - after that it won't be worth it.
[Captivate General] skeepon:
got mine from best buy as well. i pay $10 a month and basically everything but theft and fully submerging it in water is covered. already got a free battery replacement. its a lot better than at&t or any other carriers insurance
[Captivate General] egypt3:
I got it solely cause I knew I was gonna root my phone and I also knew how not tech savvy I am. If I brick my phone, this way I can roll up into something 4G for less cost. It's five bucks a month, which is about what I spend on three of the six beers I drink every night. Well worth it.
[Captivate General] \/icious:
You dont have to pay a deductable if you send them back the broken phone. Insurance is worth the 5 bucks a month. I believe you are limited to 2 insurance claims a year though but that just means you are you are paying 120 bucks for a 2 year contract and getting 4 replacements if need be. Cheaper than buying a new phone outright even if you have topay a deductable for a lost or water damaged phone
[Captivate General] franksig:
Just my 2cents,

If you have any water damage your ATT Ins insurance is out the window. NO Coverage.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
Hopefully you're not serious...That's the 5 letter word that begins with F..but ends in D
[Captivate General] uhmump95:
Wrong! AT&T's insurance covers water damage.
[Captivate General] WirelessMike:
I have it.

I agree with some others here-- I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it (full price for this phone vs. deductible ISN'T a negligible amount of money).

Also-- Don't just take the word of some forum post regarding what AT&T insurance covers or doesn't cover. See for yourself here.

[Captivate General] goof72:
Under insurance, they replace it with a Captivate if they have one available - otherwise, it's comparable hardware. ( for 175 USD )

I have 9 mos. left on the factory warranty, but if I drop it in the snow once - insurance. I carry insurance even under the Factory Warranty.

If I pay that insurance for 18 mos. total and drop it in the snow - you think they'll tell me to go pound sand? I think not.

-----------------------------------------------

After my 18 Mo. Full Discount Upgrade kicked in, I ended up with a POS LG phone that had HORRIBLE noise cacellation, and let it go past the 30 day buyer's remorse period. Granted, I did spend 4 hours total om the phone with AT&T, but they performed an "Exception Upgrade" waiving all possible charges, and I got a Cappy for 56 USD over the phone with a Rep.

After that, I've had my Cap replaced 5 times in 6 mos., at no cost to me - and had my account credited 225 USD for the inconvenience - after I only paid 56 USD for the Cap in the first place.

When it comes to Customer Service - I take no prisoners.

I pay - You provide reasonably good service - or you're going to have a very bad week at work.
[Captivate General] jperiod:
Yes I have the insurance. I typically always get the insurance with my phones, had to use it on a previous phone and got a replacement phone for free.

(If it's tl:dr, then just scroll to the bottom of the post)

Hi guys, first thread here :eek:

I think that I've done everything correctly in terms of rooting and flashing on my DHD, but I just want to be sure.

I'm in the UK, and currently on Orange, so I think I might have the wrong radio. However it's worth noting that the phone was unlocked.

Okay, first thing that I did was to check what firmware I was running. Fortunately, I was running 1.32 and not 1.72 :)

Then I used visionary+ and temp rooted, then permrooted. Then using terminal emulator, entering 'su' produced '#' on the next line. All good so far.

Then, the next step is to radio off and eng off right? So I downloaded the radio s-off easy tool and used that. Simples. Same with the Eng off tool. There was an option to tick if you have radio off-ed your phone, and I ticked that, but for some reason, Eng off didn't work. In the tool in windows it kept going but the progress bar 'froze'. So I unticked the 'I have radio s off' box and it installed eng off fine.

I then flashed Andriod revolution 2.0.15 on there using clockwork recovery mod. I backed up my sd card etc, but didn't perform any sort of wipe. I didn't even tick the 'wipe data + cache' box. It seemed to boot okay, and worked fine.

I then flashed a radio file onto the phone (26.04.02.17 M2) and flashed Leedroid 2.0 on there, this time wiping data+cache. I then decided to go back to Android revolution, and re-flashed that, again wiping data+cache.

The weird thing is, I've seen very little to no improvement to my phone. Battery, signal, speed etc is all the same (apart from when I overclock it obviously).

This is what it says on my phone:

Android version:

2.2.1

Baseband version:

12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2

Kernel Version:

2.6.32.29_Buzz_sense_1.3.1_OCUV

bumble-bee@Hive2 #11

Wed 23 Deb 15:58:37 GMT 2011

Build Number

1.72.405.3 CL296490 release-keys

Software number:

Android Revolution HD/4G 2.0.15 by Mike1986

Browser version:

WebKit 3.1

However, this is what it said when I go into bootloader and system information:

SN-HT0CLRX08532

LCD-AUO

Touch Panel-SYN3K2_020b

Commit-7eadc656

OS ver. -1.32.405.6

IMEI

CID-HTC_001

Ram 768mb

emmc sandisk 2223mb 4554751sectors

The bit that worries me mainly is the CID because according to the guide on this site, it should say:

CID-11111111

Does it sound like I've done it properly? The only reason I ask is that I haven't noticed much difference in the new roms from the standard HTC Rom

Thanks everyone

Summary:

Not sure if I've flashed phone + radio properly, so posted my stats here to be sure.

Yeah, I don't use a task killer ;)

I just restart my phone once a day, seems to do the job. But I'm just concerned as apart from being able to overclock (and having done so) I haven't noticed any difference at all, no difference in performance, battery etc. Also, my signal and particularly internet speed appear to have gotten worse, could that be a radio problem? To be honest, I'm not in an area of amazing signal.

Thanks guys :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobSimmo:
I suppose it depends how you use it: if you use it heavily throughout the day then it's still going to require a recharge every night anyway. I have seen on some forums that people are using LeeDroid's kernel with the Revolution ROM as it gives better battery life apparently. Is there not a newer kernel for Revolution you can try? December is quite a bit ago, I'd be surprised if they hadn't made some changes since then.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harro3:
It lasts barely over 24 hours with minimal use. Maybe around 10 mins of games and 20 mins of calls. It's the same with Leedroid and Android Revolution, JuiceDefender doesn't help either.
