HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!4G - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Evo rooted with the new HBOOT 2.002 method and lost my 4g completely how do I get it back there has to be a way please someone with knowledge help me

And yes my RSA keys are tossed I believe I am currently running a rom that doesnt have 4g anyway ...Ultimate Droid 2.3 but will flash to another Rom with working 4g If I can fix

Isn't that one of the down sides of flashing the new hboot? I believe in the post is states that hboot will and can delete your keys if you use a recovery such as clockwork. As to a fix I am not sure, haha prob when cyanogen mod team codes it from scratch.

Also look at the q/a in the post for hboot. It tells u things to try if 4g is possibly broken and how to fix it. Although it sounds as If u tried other roms with no luck, and if you used a recovery that wasn't in the post u might be **** out of luck. Id do the key test under the post and ask in the hboot post itself. Worst case, u could unroot using the guide and take it into sprint saying your 4g isn't working. I belive from other posts if it is unrooted and 4g isn't working then Sprint will give you a replacement for free if the techs cannot fix the problem.
Hope everything works out for you.

Need help with root

I just got a replacement evo and I updated it to 3.30.651.3 and my hardware ver. is 003..And i can not get root Please any help would be great ..thanks
i am ALWAYS open to helping people root. it seems the tutorial to do would be here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
the problem is, all the files are for 0004 hardware so it would screw up your 0003. better just sit tight until they release the 0003 ruu cracked, patched, and engineering files. once again, open to help people.

Thank you i can wait i tell you running stock isnt bad my battery life is crazy long...
Just as a last check, you might want to search the threads to see if any of the methods work for 0003. I might recommend just waiting though because the other methods seem a little shotty. The one I linked makes perfect sense and sounds foolproof. I doubt htc could have thought out that loophole.
Yeah cool thanks for your help
What is the manufacture date of your phone did it come with 3.30?

Send link please?
its in the dev section. zi(something) wrote it up. the only thing missing was a tweaked custom recovery. if you need help pm or email/ichat me ([email protected] for all of them)
good luck ot you all

I have hardware 0003, and the method you linked got me rooted. Took a couple attempts on a few of the steps, but end result is s-off, amon-ra recovery, still using hboot 2.02 however. I didn't see the need of downgrading hboot. Be careful when flashing roms though, as only htc kernels will allow the camera to work at the moment. (to the best of my knowledge). I'm more than happy to help, too, if you have any other questions.
Feel free to gtalk me or email me. [email protected]

the point of downgrading is to allow unsigned pc36img.zips, and to have fastboot commands. these can be used for major developing, or simply changing your splash screen. not much of a purpose, but a purpose.
edit
I realized you meant changing splash through adb, my fault. Good point about the fastboot, though. I haven't tried the .zips either. I may downgrade yet.

Be careful when downgrading. You could be bricked. I would recommend not downgrading until you do something that requires it. How do you flash splash screens without adb?
Flashable zips through recovery. Shift has a thread around here somewhere I got the one I'm using atm.
Sent from my HTC SuperSonic 4G using the XDA app.
I didn't know that was possible. Well it makes sense because wimax, radio, pri, nv, and boot .img are all installable with some tricky coding through recovery. Why not the splash1 partition too...

Almost got it just a couple of questions in root and roms

Hi peeps, been looking around this awesome forum for a couple days and sort of figured it out but I have a couple if questions and thought I would ask first. Well root with revoked unless slcd, is that right? How do I find out what i have?. How to back up my important stuff, is there an all in one or a particular set of actions?. And which rom I want, was looking to get the desire hd rom but does everything work ok? And what's with the radio version?. Sorry for the noobie post but there is that much into coming out of that search bar it's a little overwhelming. Thanx for any help in advance.

You can use unrEVOked to root any Desire, regardless of screen. You can't backup completely until rooted, but once done you can do a Nandroid backup which basically creates a shot of your phone at that point so you can return to it - kinda like System Restore in Windows.
The radio is the equivalent of drivers - it allows Android to talk to the hardware. Always use the recommended radio in a ROM thread until you know what you're doing
However, before doing ANY of that, do the following:
1. Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and take note of the software version
2. Go here and see if there is a file matching your version. If there is, download it and keep it safe as if you ever need to go back to stock you'll need to use it.

download rom manager, or just search for recovery image in the devlopment thread.
cheers!
oh and there will be an option for you in the recovery menu to make a backup, so dont worry, just remember to always nandroid backup before installing a new rom/kernel etc!
Hi, got the image but revoked is missing a driver, tried looking for it which resulted in me downloading the sdk but revoked doesn't seem to see the driver it wants. Do you know which one it's after? Or where I might get it?

If you haven't already... install HTC Sync (for the drivers)... Just remember to uninstall again before running unrevoked...
This worked for me, hope it helps
Right need some more help. Got the whole thing going but it obviously needed some input which i had no clue about so I proceded to crumble like a school girl thinking I was soon to be the proud owner of a brick lol. So is there a walk through so I know what to press and if it's all going to plan?. Thanx again

Tmobile G2 Radio Flashing and backup

Hello guys, Looking to install a new radio but would like to back up my current stock Radio in case i ever decide to revert to stock again anywhere i could find out how to do this? (or could you tell me how) Im using a tmob g2 i have perm root s-off with gfree and all that good stuff with eng hboot also which one of these radios posted here are the newest or is the other thread ive read about the one with newest radio? well any response will be appreciated thanks for reading my wall of text
Also if for some reason flashing my radio goes to **** and it fails is it possible to bring it back from the brick a bad flash would cause?
i am capable of using fastboot and ADB i may not be a expert but I'm not afraid of using ADB commands on my machine in the slightest
See if your current radio is in THIS thread. Before I updated mine, I found my current one there and downloaded it first. This way I had my old one to go back to.
Remember when flashing you do it via the bootloader, not CWM, and you must rename it to PC10IMG.zip first. Its helpful to just make a copy of the one u wanna use and rename it, that way you dont have 2 or 3 or 10 PC10IMG.zip files in a folder and you don't know which is which.
Thanks I took the plunge worked out great didn't see my radio in that thread but said **** it and did it anyways glad I did the radio I grabed has much better 4g signal in my house now
Thanks again for the response I appreciate it
When I get to my pc I will be hitting the thanks button

[Q] Stuck in limbo, need help!

I have posted several stuff about a situation I am having with my phone.... and I still cannot get it solved fully. I hope I can do it here.
I will try and summarize the situation with some key points.
First here is my current info....
Android Version 2.2.1
Baseband Version 2.15.00.03.04
Kernel Version [email protected]#2
Build Number 1.05.970.1 CL339957 release keys
Software number 1.05.970.1
PRI version 2.11_01c
PRL version 01001
Model Number PC36100
Supersonic DVT1 Ship S-ON
HBOOT-6.17.0001
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_20aa
RADIO-2.15.00.03.04
Now I first rooted using revolutionary and got s-off properly.... I played with some roms and found it fun but not enough time to keep at it..... so I decided to s-on and go back to stock using un-revoked. That semi worked.... I got s-on.... but never lost the root. I still have recovery and everything still shows I have root except s-on.
Additionally, I tried to run the stock kddi ruu and i have gotten every error from 140, 170, 171 and even at one time 130...lol still no luck there. In doing all of that I figured out that the image version on my phone is 4.24.651.1 and I need to get to 1.05.970.1 (the stock kddi evo 4g) but cannot get it done.
Also I am HBOOT-6.17.0001 which is confusing in itself. xhausx helped me by giving me a nanadroid version of my kddi rom but that doesn't allow me to update anything and finding updates here is impossible unless I am running stock without root.
I am not sure if I need to flash a new misc partition, wipe my nand or something else and so not know how to do all of that..... can someone please please please help? I am willing to toss a small reward your way if we get me back to when I bought it.
I think you need to run the RUU for your phone; get it back to out of the box, stock, and just start over.

if you have another RUU that I do not know about please let me know... because the one that I have from kddi is not working.
my current one is.... RUU_SuperSonic_K_KDDI_JP_1.05.970.1_Radio_2.15.00.03.04_NV_2.11_release_176711_signed.exe
You have a Japanese Evo, right?
Since it's a different phone, most of the people here will not be able to help you. I could tell you what to do if you had a American Evo, but it would probably either error out or further your problem.
Is there a forum for your specific version? Do things generally work the same as our Evos... like can you use the same RUU that I would use?

I was thinking if this will work somthing I might do if everything fails? Maybe you could try rooting it again and unroot?

The fact that I have a Japanese evo doesn't mean that anyone will not be able to help me. This is actually the place where the developers made the first RUU for the Japanese evo to begin with. There are plenty of pro's here.... we just need to find the right solution for me. Additionally, most everything works the same.... I cannot use the same RUU as you because the cid will come up different and cause me more probs.

I have tried to run the root process again and it says in revolutionary that you already have s-off..... which in fact I do not.... and when I do the opposite process it just acts like its running the s-on and does nothing.

[Q] Please help with incredible

hello i bought incredible off Ebay saying stuck in power loop, figured it would be easy fix already having a incredible for a year or so but cannot make any progress.When you boot normally it goes to white incredible screen bootloops a few times and powers down. I can get into h-boot but no recovery s-on and nothing will flash properly. Any help would be much appreciated and sorry if i did not post in right section this is my first post...
When you say nothing will flash, what do you mean? Have you tried an RUU? If not, you can find both Froyo and Gingerbread RUU from here:
pvillecomp.com
sorry i was having trouble replying...yes i have tried ruu and it would load it to the side in h-boot screen and then go away...in meaning wouldnt ask me to hit up or down to install
Wait, it didn't prompt you to update? That either means the file was not on the root of your sd card in no folders OR it was not labeled: PB31IMG
it found the update but when it finished loading on right side of screen it didn't prompt me to install
i have tried everything i know to do but i know nothing about this phone what version its on or anything...i did unlock the bootloader but still couldnt get anywhere

So wait in order to unlock the bootloader you had to do an ruu exe right?
That is probably the issue, that you unlocked the bootloader with HTC dev. When doing so it updated your hboot version. Now older ruus will not work because it considers it a downgrade. What you need is a PB31IMG.zip of the exe ruu provided on the htc dev site when unlocking the bootloader. I do not know where to find one of these, but i will see if i can extract one from the exe for you. However im not sure it would work because running the ruu in the first place should have fixed the issue.

Ok try flashing this thru hboot, it is stock gingerbread ruu.
http://dinc.does-it.net/New_Hboot/StockGB/PB31IMG.zip
If it flashes see if the phone will boot.
Then try to flash this thru hboot even if the above one works or not. It is Clockwork Mod recovery 5.2.0.2.
http://dinc.does-it.net/New_Hboot/CWM_5.2.0.2/PB31IMG.zip
If it flashes see if you can enter recovery.
you are a lifesaver it let me flash clockwork...havnt tried anything else yet just got that done
well....itll go into clockwork stay about five seconds and bootloops to white incredible sceen
Change that went into clockwork once now when I hit recovery it goes to white incredible screen

I found the answers in Q&A. They, like for many others, just didn't help. I have deemed my issue to be hardware.
Unrooted device won't boot past splash with sd card inserted. Remove sd card and it's in a never ending bootloop. I've tried all the methods I picked up in here. Downloaded and attempted both RUU's through bootloader to no avail. Attempted via bootload to flash CWM...no go. Once I insert a fresh Fat 32 re-partitioned sd card with everything I need on it and try to boot, I'm stuck at HTC white screen, and the sd loses Fat 32.
I really do apologize for taking my frustration out the way I did. My sister has a Dinc and I really like the device. Sorry
