[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brucelia:
Hello everyone, first I would like to thank everyone on the forum for the awesome job. Especially those of you who took the time to make great guides for nb like me.

I updated my dhd to android revolution 3.0 and I was wondering. If I want to update to 3.1. Can I flash the rom again directly with a full wipe or do I have to downgrade first ? (because now my build is 1.84.61.2)

thank
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yazayad:
You can flash it directly, you have root and S-OFF, you won't need to do that again.

By the way, if you have used ARHD 3.0 without any issues, you can flash 3.1 (or 3.2 which is out now) without a full wipe (although they say it's recommended). This way all your settings will remain.

You should check the ARHD thread to see that you have the recommended radio for 3.2 (it's working really well for me, I'm getting HSDPA on my commute to work instead of switching between EDGE and 3G like before).

Edit: Remember to always do a nandroid backup before flashing, so you always have something stable to revert to in the case of a bootloop or other malfunction.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brucelia:
thank yazayad I will do that :D
[Epic 4G General] miaolinwei:
Hey guys, please help, my keyboard 2 W S Z, that whole roll of keys stopped working and down volume key just suddenly stopped working. I can't go into download mode anymore, don't have TEP, I wanted to get it fixed at the service center, that guy said when they open the phone they said there is liquid inside, what a bunch of lying bastards, when I told him I am very careful with this phone, never in contact with any water, he said maybe you used the phone when it's raining and got water inside, I don't know, can't help you. these F**king guys really pissed me off, he gave me the phone and went to help some guy who wanted to buy a cell phone lol, spent less than 30 sec with me, didn't offer any help, just wanted me to buy a new phone for 600 bucks.

What can I do now?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
If they put the message on your account that your phone has water damage you're SOL. however it sounds like they didn't give you much time which is in your favor in this case, call Sprint customer service and say that you went into the store and were ignored when you told them you weren't interested in buying anything but only wanted a repair, ask to be escalated then request that they send you a replacement so you don't have to take more time out of your busy schedule to deal with incompetent Reps whose only interest is making a sale.
[Epic 4G General] ghsthntr:
Careful...it only takes 30 seconds to check to see if the water damage label is triggered and if there is water damage Sprint won't touch the phone. If you get somebody over the phone to send you a replacement they'll see it on the phone you send back and charge your account for the replacement phone. Water damage seems like an awfully good explaination for the type of problem you're having on the phone...it's just like if you dump some coffee into your keyboard on a computer certain keys short out and stop working. I know it sucks but it makes a lot of sense to a 3rd party looking at your phone.
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
Why buy a $500 and no insurance (tep) then expect sprint to give you help?

[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
man that sucks. id brick the damn phone and then take it to another sprint store and tell them that you got a pop up for an upgrade and this is what happened after you installed it.
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
This...

Passing on the insurance was a very idiotic move.

Ask to see the liquid...if its there you cant be mad at them since YOU chose against the insurance.
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:

Same exact thing happened to me. They swapped mine though because I had insurance.

i dont really reply much but u feel your pain. you could make a download jig from an old usb cable that will force it into download mode you need to get 3 100k ohm resisters then put them on the old cable pins 4 and 5 or get one on ebay just type in samsung usb jig or something. google the instructions or you tube

[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
Are you seriously soliciting a bribe?
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
soliciting a bribe isn't cool at all.

FYI (to the OP) most CSR reps can add this to your account for you for no extra cost (beyond the monthly premium). I had a rep add it to my wife's line (temporarily) so that she could to the "4 bad phone swaps to get another device" thing.. she had to do that dance to get rid of her intercept and she now has a transform. The guy on the phone w/ me (at the time) said that any CSR would be able to do that for me.

Don't pay a guy from XDA w/ 3 posts to add anything to your account that you can add w/ just a phone call.

Just sayin'
[Epic 4G General] jkrough0728:
Not true. You can not just add TEP at any time. It will get added but quickly removed when Asurion checks the account and see it is not within 30 days of purchase or S&R fee.

And more than likely (being a Sprint Tech myself) you did somehow get your phone wet because keys going out is a usual sign. I'm sorry if you felt disrespected at that store but they followed the policy which is what we have to do. As soon as LD is found on board, we flag it and the rest is handled through Asurion (every carrier uses them).

But since you do not have TEP, you are kind of SOL. At that point you can either buy a new phone for full retail or use upgrade if available. Or try and find an old phone at home or from a friend. Or check ebay or craigslist places for people selling Sprint phones with a clean ESN.
[Epic 4G General] akijikan:
Because the phone has a warranty? LOL

So uh, just get a new stock battery and you're good to go as long as he didn't notate your account.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Sprint rep could back date the tep it prolly would work. Even if he added tep today and made a claim it might work lol
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
For $1k bet, I'll post a screenshot. I'm telling you that they did it w/ my wife's phone 2 months ago. We opened our accounts In Sept.. You're calling me a liar ??

I was up 4 levels from the dorks that answer the phone when u first call. I escalated to that person's supervisor, then tech support level 2, then that person's manager. THAT person added the equipment protection plan for the remainder of the month, then credited my account the price so it was free.

I swear I'll post screenshots. That person even told me that any CSR can add it at any time.

Please get your facts straight.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
What a "fact" is to one person is merely a "theory" to another. You may have been exceptionally lucky, charming, a big spender, or who knows. My guess is that most people trying to add TEP after the 30 day window would be laughed at. I researched it and always made sure it was on my account when a new smartphone was activated on Sprint.
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
And I could call in, go four levels up, and get told that somebody lied to me.

I read on a forum about how easy it is to get a free Airave..."just tell them your signal sucks" is what they wrote. I called. I told them my signal sucks. They invited me to leave, ETF free.

The moral of the story: Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
[Epic 4G General] jkrough0728:
Get my facts straight? I have been working for Sprint 3 years. I know my facts. You got extremely lucky. On a normal basis, no this will not happen due to Asurion not Sprint. Asurion removes it due to fraud.

And you should really calm down, I was trying to help explain the situation.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
No where was I upset.

Here's a screen shot of my bill. We have TEP on my Son's phone (the one at the bottom) because he's 11. The one w/ the Arrow is where the CSR added it to my account. I'll post a shot of the following month in a second showing that there is no TEP.

Just sayin'
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
following month bill:
[Epic 4G General] jkrough0728:
Well like I said you are very lucky and maybe Asurion missed it because I know the policy and what they do because I have to deal with it everyday.

It can be considered fraud.
[Epic 4G General] jkrough0728:
Do you work in a corporate store? Because you can easily tell when TEP was added if you are a real Sprint store...

And I have dealt with people personally that Asurion took TEP off the account.

And I think your getting confused about the 30 days. You have 30 days to add TEP to your account after you A) Upgrade or B) Get phone services and pay the S&R fee.

After the 30 days, the policy clearly states it can not be added and if it is, Asurion is monitoring and will take it off if they see it.
[Epic 4G General] Sesquipedalian:
At this point, you have nothing to lose, so why not try fixing it yourself? There are some break down videos for the Epic out there, and I think I recall hear someone say they were having problems similar to yours because of a loose keyboard cable.

If you went to a corporate store the first time, you might try a non-corporate store or vice versa. I would think you should be able to pay out of pocket for the repair.

If it's water shorting your keyboard, you might seal the phone in ziplock with a bag of rice overnight.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
SO I'm on my third Epic and now I just found this thread again while searching for the problem.

Same issue is happening. I'm pretty pissed!!

I also have not gotten this phone wet or anything.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Just call asurion directly. They will replace with no questions asked if you have TEP.

Sent from my modded Epic 1x that I cannot love more.. Thank you EpicCM team, bbelos, and zeppelinrox.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
i love how we pay for TEP (insurance) yet none of that money goes to a new phone yet we still have to pay 100$.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
I know they will replace no questions asked. However that means I have to pay 100 bucks AGAIN..

I've already paid 100 bucks ONCE for this exact same problem. I did it because I thought maybe I had caused it in some way. However Now that it's happened again and I know for a fact nothing has been dropped or gotten wet.....it appears to be a defect.

So there is no way to put it into download without the volume down key right?

At this point the agent said my phone is still under the 1 year thing, so I'd like to flash it back to stock and bring it in.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Download mode is the 1 key and power button, not volume down.
[Epic 4G General] Speedin07si:
Kenny is right... press 1 and power button. The volume and power button is how you get in download mode for the Stratosphere.

[Epic 4G General] xjayman:
Paying for tep is idiotic, the monthly payments plus the 100 replacement is a rip off...insurance is electronic industry biggest money maker. if you don't pay for insurance on electronic devices (phones,TVs,ect) you'll have enough money to replace a device that fails early & have money to boot.
[Epic 4G General] bean:
Been too long since I left. USB jig?
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
This is why you go with Black Tie insurance (Best Buy). Covers everything but lost/stolen. $10 a month, and no preimum charge ever when you break your phone.

I've replaced my epic 3 times.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Right now my work pays for my phone, but when I get my new one (this summer) I might have to look into this... so 10 dollars for everything and then 7 for tep and I'm totally covered...
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
super necro!

Anyways if the same thing happened again but with absolutely no chance of it getting wet, then obviously your phones somehow secrete liquids and you shouldn't own one
[Epic 4G General] vmgc1131:
Thats why you dont deal with assurion, just take it to a repair center and act stupid and they fix it or replace a part, that is if you have TEP.

You can also attempt to fix it yourself...it seems you can replace the keyboard part which actually is where all the buttons are like power, volume up and down, etc....theres break down videos online and websites where you can buy parts....its better than paying $100 with assurion

Thanks you so much for your help, i'm appreciate!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Hi Alain,

Going out on a limb here, but are you in Canada and French is your native language?

If so, I presume you have a Rogers or Bell Tab that didn't come with voice functionality out of the box?

If that is the case, you should read the thread here. Note, if you have a CDMA Tab, don't do this!!!

If this isn't the case, you need to be a bit more specific about where you are, what carrier you are using, and the "type" of your Tab.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] expeditionboreale:
Thanks Dave for your anwser!

And yes i'm with Roger, but I just dont know how to get my CDMA info?

But if I understand what you wright, I must dont have the hardware into my tab to make call and receive some...it's wright?

Alain
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
If you are on Rogers, you will have a GSM Tab capable of bring flashed to a ROM and radio combination that will allow voice, though obviously you will need a SIM with a voice plan.

The link I posted should be all you need to do this.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
You're not the first person I've seen that happen to recently on certain nightlies. Unfortunately, in all of the other cases I saw, they weren't able to recovery. RUU didn't work, PC36IMG didn't work, formatting the sd card didn't work, it just looped at the splash screen every time. PC36IMG flashes even appeared to be successful, but it would never get past the looping splash screen. I'm not sure if anyone ever came up with a fix, but when I was following the thread, one dude threw the phone out the window of his car and told sprint he lost it. The other guy went through insurance and shelled out the $100 to get a new replacement. I hope you have better luck. I would try flashing PC36IMG again, or setting hte phone in fastboot mode, and running an RUU. If that doesn't work, I don't think there is too much else to try, that I'm aware of at least.
