Yes, you can boot into the bootloader (hold volume down and power when the device is off) and flash the EnergyROM made for CDMA devices such as your Sprint TP2, instead of the one of GSM devices, as I assume you flashed by mistake. After that, everything should work just fine

First, step back and don't panic. Where did you get the Energy ROM? Here at XDA? Sprint is a CDMA carrier, and Energy in THIS forum is GSM. If you want an Energy ROM for your Sprint Phone, go to the link below and download it. In the meantime, I would go ahead and download Task 29 for CDMA and run it prior to flashing the CDMA Energy ROM. Do you know what task 29 is? Was this your first attempt at flashing a custom ROM? Sorry for all the questions, but I need more information from you to be able to help efficiently. However, I don't think you have bricked your phone for good.
And just remember, for all future CDMA Custom ROMs, stay in the PPC Geeks forum. There are MANY really good ROMs for your phone there.

ok yea that worked, now its showing up as connected by USB. Thanks!
about task 29, i jus looked it up. and yea, i was careless and flashed the GSM rom by mistake im glad i could revive my phone, i jus don have the money right now to replace it and im new to these things so understandably i got worried haha thanks for the great help guys how do i use the task 29 exe tho? can you walk me through the process?

While plugged into USB, just double click on the Task 29.exe file, and it will run the process as if you are flashing a new ROM. After it is done, it will soft reset your phone, and stop. If you have never done it before you may think you have bricked again. That's because there is now NO operating system on your phone for it to boot into. After it gets to this point, pull the battery out, and while holding down the Volume down button, reinsert the battery. When the multi-colored screen comes up release the Volume down button and watch until USB comes up at the bottom of the screen. At this point, just flash your new ROM as you usually would. This should clean out all remnants of any previous bad flash. Glad you got your phone back!!!

it gets to the progress bar, then quits saying that the utility could not be used on my device, what do i do?

For some reason, it seems that many of the guys who have been on these forums for quite a while forget that THEY TOO were a noob once. You'll be helping others out before you know it. I'll see you over at PPC Geeks. That is where I stay most of the time.
My TP2 is a CDMA, my wife's is an ATT Tilt2, so I try to keep up in both forums.

Assuming that you downloaded your Task29 utility at PPC Geeks, and it's for CDMA I'll have to think about that one for a minute. Are you connecting successfully to ActiveSync via USB? IF not, I would try rebooting the computer. If you ARE connected to ActiveSync, Any time I have had this fail, it has been an ActiveSync issue, but can't remember if it was telling me that it can't be used on my device.

It happened to me twice. Once when I tried to flash a HD2 ROM and once when I tried to flash a CDMA rom to my GSM Rhodium. Maybe our friend th4t1guy has a GSM Rhodium? This message saved my phone 2x. Otherwise, it could just be a bug.

My phone isnt recognized by my computer anymore

Hello,
i've got a problem like the title says. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer via usb, i get the message the device wasnt recognized by the computer. i tried everything i know, another usbport. etc. i want to install a new radio, but without connecting to the computer it isnt possible, because i dont have the usb debugging active.
i hope someone has an idea what i can do. i have rcmix 6.1.0.1 installed.

Are you using Windoze?
If you are unfortunate enough to be doing so then you might need to reinstall HTC Sync program (sometimes it works better if you completely uninstall it first including manually removing any left over folders and files in the application data folder.

thanks for the quick answer.
i tried it, but it didnt help. where is this application data folder? do you mean on the computer? i found after uninstalling no more folders from htc.
and yes i use windows home premium 64bit.
got another idea? now it says also the device does not function properly. i hope that nothing on the device is broken.

yes he is talking about your computer... if in the "program files" you hasn´t anythink about HTC SYNC,, ALL IS OK...
but enssure that in the configuration panel-system-dispositive administrator you hasn´t any drive installed for your android device... if you have installed it, erase or uninstall it before re-install htc sync or the htc drivers....then you can re-install and reboot windoux...
and hey buddy!I recommend to you to consider to pass to linux, you will not have this type of mistakes... LOL
UBUNTU is great!

I'm afraid I don't know much about Windoze but memory serving appication data is a hidden folder so you will need to change it to view them and is in the Documents and Settings / [Your username] directory.
Device not function is just a default Windoze error when it can't install something, ignore it, your phone is fine.
If you have reinstalled HTC Sync, try a USB port on the opposite side of the PC. So if you trying ones next to each other on the front, try ones on the back (they use different headers on the motherboard).
If that doesn't work then I'm afraid I probably won't be of much more use, sorry.

thanks guys for your help, but although i followed your advices, except the one to switch to linux ;-), it hasnt got better yet. the problem is still exsisting and i dont know what else i can do.
anyone got an idea how to install radio without having usb debugging and the drivers from the computer?

Hi!
I've got the same problem with 2 different PCs, one with Win7 64-bit, the other with Win XP PRO.
Other devices work fine with the same USB ports, so i doubt it's windows or the PC...

you can´t flash any radio if your phone is not recognized
well.. Let's continue with the problem in question...
1.At some time could you have connected it?with the stock rom maybe?
2.have you tried to swich on mass storage usb mode?what´s the result?
3.when you tries to swich the phone for flash some radio you enables "usb debug"
and "only chargue"?
its a weird problem

Hey man, I've had the same problem with my old Desire (normal). Which was actually broken.. Went back to the store twice and it was sent to htc twice. But that one wasn't rooted tho. But in the end, the sensors were broken & something inside the phone that didn't recon the pc. But also try a full wipe, which helped temporarily for me.

1. yes i functioned, not only with stock rom, but also with the next few custom roms. but then 2 weeks ago the problem occured and i dont know why. before i used custom roms for months.
2. it also doesnt recognize the mass storage anymore, i dont see the memorycard as a storage device in explorer.
3. yes i turned usb debugging on and connected charging only, i flashed radios before. but the problem with the actual is, that my signalstrength is weak and so i wanted to flash the recommended for this rom, and so i recognized there is something wrong, cause my problem here occured.
normally i sync with myphoneexplorer so i didnt realize that mass storage didnt function anymore.
and because earlier i got no problems, i think more and more, that something on the phone went wrong.
maybe it helps if i go back to stockrom and undo all changes i made, to start all over again?
again thanks mate for your effort to help me out

you´re welcome companion
i reded in a spanish forum ( www.htcmania.es ) about your problem and there´s people that had the same problem with a S.GALAXY S & desire HD...
someone was solved it fullwiping and formating (in the paragraph of mounts & storage into CWM) and flashing another ROM... then they formatted their sd card with a card reader OF THE PC... later they was formatted the sd card from the pc and the problem was disapeared successfully...
BUT if it persists i think that you should (mi suggestion) send your machine to the thecnical service....

ok, will try this today evening when i'm home. if this doesnt work i will reset it in the orginial state and send it to the technical support. i will leave a comment if i was successful, perhaps this will help others with the same problem.

[Q] Options For Connecting To PC Are Missing

Device and Software: HTC Inspire 4g, JellyTime r29(previously Android Revolution HD 6.3.1)
Problem:
Cannot choose how to connect to PC(no usb options appear on the phone), the phone starts charging as soon as I plug it in.
Possible Cause:
I connected my phone to a USB port on a car stereo and my phone and the stereo kept flipping back and forth between screens. I disconnected the phone immediately, but the USB connected icon was still in my notification bar. I restarted the phone and everything seemed fine until I tried to plug my phone in 3 days ago.
Things I've Tried Already:
-Restarting the phone
-Pulling the battery
-Trying different USB Ports
-Trying different cables
-Trying different PCs
-Trying USB Debugging both on and off
-Trying fastboot on and off
-Trying an "auto-mount" app(Multi-Mount SD)
-Trying "USB Mass Storage" App for Jelly Bean
-Setting Disk Drive mode as default and turning the "Ask Me" option on and off
-Reflashing the ROM (followed these directions for flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731)
-Flashing the USB fix found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24198708&postcount=90
-Flashing a new ROM
-Searching for a solution(derp).

I was thinking about it, but this one has been working fine for months so It seems unlikely to me that that's the cause, especially when i haven't come across anyone running the same ROM with the same problem.
I'll still think about it, I dunno what ROM I'd switch to though. I liked CyanogenMod 7 but that one wouldn't run videos correctly for some reason :\

Yup. I just tried using USB Mass Storage app for JB, and that doesn't work either, although apparently the app does know that the USB is plugged in.

Most likely a port problem on your device. Go to a repair shop and see how much they charge

Try going to a fully stock state (S-ON, stock no root) and see if it helps. If not, definitely a port problem.

First flash a different rom see if the same issue happens in that rom. You can also boot into recovery and try mounting the sd card before flashing a ruu. You may also want to reinstall the drivers for your phone (the drivers on your pc).

Yeah, sorry about that. I skimmed through the post. After submitting the reply I saw that you already tried a different rom. You could give that a shot, installing htc sync. Have you tried the sd card on a different phone, or connected directly to the computer or a different sd card on your phone? Besides this I'm out of ideas.

you dont need a toolkit. you need to make sure fastboot works on your computer and verify you have fastboot drivers installed.

Best custom rom for the LG G4?

Hello, I'm getting today the LG G4(H815) and Im wondering what is the best rom to install?
I've heard the battery life is not very good becuase of the LG interface, so a custom rom should fix it, and from what I've seen there's not much different between Android 5.1 and 6, so I don't really mind, what custom rom do you use, and why?
Thanks.

I'm running die latest nightly of CM 13 and in my opinion it's very good!
Everything I need for daily use just works fine.

There is no "BEST" for every body. There is only what people have found is best for them based on how they use their phone, their signal, setup, preferences, etc. They found what was best for them by reviewing all the top listed ROMs in the development section. The top list means they are the most active. Read the first few posts on each and find out what features they have and if those are the ones you are looking for. Then read the last 10 pages or so to see if anyone has any problems and how they fixed them. Then choose the one you want to try...back up your current setup, wipe all data and flash the new ROM. Give it a try and see if that is the one that is BEST for you. If not, restore your setup or try again.
Happy Flashing!

Go into your app drawer. Go to Settings then to the very bottom for device info, then something that sounds like Hardware info. You will find your IMEI number in there.

Oh..THAT Device ID. Here is a better explanation on how to get it if you have fastboot and ADB drivers installed and working:

I already tried that as well, but its not working for me, the cmd says "Device not found", but the device is connected(and the computer is recognizing the phone as well), I also tried to getting into fastboot through flashtool, but its not working as well, I tried many options, usb debugging on/off, mtp/the other one, but its not working(but the computer is recognizing the phone and I can enter the phone storage).

If it says Device not found, you do not have ADB drivers properly installed. Try to download and install fresh drivers for your phone..or plug it into another port and watch the driver installation to make sure all drivers are installed. If you get a red X for ADB driver then you need to remove drivers, download updated ones and install.

On the same topic, how is the camera on other roms?
I'm assuming on all STOCK variants we have the same camera app as LG provides.
But what happens with CM13 for instance? (do we have manual controls, is the quality degraded...?)
Thanks

I did all those, and still, for some reason it isn't working :\ not really sure what to do, is there no other way to find the Device ID?

Either way, your device will need to be recognized by ADB to unlock the bootloader. Make sure if you are using a desktop to use the USB ports in the back directly on the motherboard and not the ones in the front. Do you have any errors in device manager? Whichever error you have you need to fix that driver. With my 6P I had problems with the Google USB driver. Took me 2 hours to realize which was the problem and find one that would install somewhere on the net.

I actually do have a little problem, sometimes, with different time periods, but every now and then, my keyboard stops working for like 2 seconds, my computer is trying to find usb keyboard driver, it fails to update it, but the keyboard still works, don't know if it have any connection, but I'll try to do it on another computer(don't know why I didn't thought of it until now ;o)
Edit - not working on other computer as well, really don't know what to do ;\

Custom ROM's are generally good overall. CandySIX and Resurrection are both extremely good ROM's. However, where they lack seriously is the quality of sound generally from the speakers and headphones. That being said, its best to settle for a Stock based ROM. IMHO Imperium ROM is unparalleled in that department, best battery backup and of course awesome sound. It even integrates with Viper Audio very well. Its my everyday ROM at the moment. If anyone thinks differently, please do let me know. I would love to get some opinions on this.
