Unlock and flashing.. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm considering flashing my EVO to cricket..its already rooted. But I have some questions....are there specific roms that have to be used with cricket? Example..I'm running mik3d right now...can I run a sense rom on cricket? I can easily figure out how to unlock and flash to cricket but i don't know about the rom thing. Any help is greatly appreciated

Not an expert in this matter but my best bet is, no. I don't think that you will need a - cricket - branded Rom, the configuration you'll so to force the phone to that network has nothing to do with the Rom itself, but some apps like the Sprint branded ones might not work.
Just my 2ct.

Also I'm not postive but you might have to edit some settings to get mms on some roms working

Don't do it man. The service is REAL spotty. I know sprints isn't much beetter a lot of the time, but its a major step down. If you d/l and surf a lot you'll hate it. I did it to my last one, and got a 3vo for the line, and low and behold I'm back w spritn service and my og evolution runnin decks 1.3/ Lee combo. I get 1550 quadrant scores overclocked, and 1450's at 998w smartass. My d/l speeds are high 4s w 1-3 uploads w wimax. I couldn't get close to half that w cricket. The quadrants comparable, but that doesn't affect your data. Its your choice bro, but I strongly suggest keeping sprint and waiting for lte service and devices. There's gonna be some sick ass phones coming out. Good luck either way.

Id like to stay with Sprint but i can't afford to keep them. Just had a baby and I'm def not having that much money coming in anymore. Just got canned from my job. The military won't let me back in. Just everyday life I guess.

Congrats on the baby bro. I have 2 myself. I just got back to work, so I know how ya feel. I'm around the Chicago area, and I actually got a couple places that are looking for some good people. Don't know where ya are, but I'd help pretty much anyone in here w whatever I could. This damn forum has become an addiction. I don't post much, but I read a lot. Well good luck bro. Best wishes and have fun w the baby. They're what make me complete. ...... and my decked out, undervolted Lee kernel running make you wanna kick yourself in the nuts cause its so sick evo. Lmao. Good luck w cricket. There's a whole section w a bunch of info for it if you search the general section.

How many Devs do we working on the slide?

I know some devs are jumping ship to other phones. Do we have some devs left to work on our phone? If not I'm thinking about buying another phone in the next few months.

I just got this like the other day and it seems to be lacking in support, when I heard about this phone I was excited to get it...But now it seems like it doesn't have that much development, with other phones coming out. The only this is the smaller screen and weaker cpu/gpu compared to newer phones...This thing comes w/ 512MB Ram/Rom if im not mistaken, just like N1. If this is Oc'able it might go to at least 7xxx. Dumfuq is notorious for his G1 OC kernels, lets see what he can do for the MTS now...

I really like the phone's design, it sticks out from the other phones I had. it might not be the best thing in the market but it's defiantly a major improvement from my G1. Even on stock this feels a lot faster than when I had it oc'd to 614MHz.

I agree totally. This is a wonderful improvement over the G1. Handles things better too. When I got a text when I was watching YouTube on the g1 I would have a blank screen for like 30secs cause I had SMS popup then I could reply but the video wouldn't play I would have to start over. Not with this little power house those issues are gone.

Check the dev section. Im trying to pull together a dev team to port a modded froyo to phones that havent had a mention of froyo, and the dinc, desire, and evo. If there is one dev left, the slide is saved, if not, i gotta pick up official support for the slide.
More info on the rom can be found on www.incredibleroms.com/jdkoreclipse. Dont download from the link there, as it is the driod incredible version.

Imma try. Im on xda alot, so i have lots of time to get this going. If worst comes to worst, i will maintain the port. So, you are getting a de sensed froyo woth some cool mods. Its not vanilla, and not sense. I really like the slide, and will dev for it. I already dropped official support for the evo, but may need to pick that one up too.
No phone should be without devs

Friggin delays on jdfroyo. We are still worrking on it.
No phone left behind
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I think we have a few here. I mean Wes and Eugene are here but may have gotten the vibrant and there are a few other new guys here and there. But they have said they will still work on the slide. I think whats holding alot of folks back is the lack of ota to use and port plus this baby is locked pretty tight still even after root but that won't stop anybody. I mean we don't even have a custom kernel or hard spl and it will take much longer because of the security. And, yes, cyanogen is working on his froyo port still and is having road blocks which is holding up future stable additions. It's a great phone still and am happy with slidemr1 v4 rom with a2sd and perflock off and set at a constant 600mhz. JIT would be nice like in froyo, would help a bit but stability and lack of 100% fuction in a2sd ports makes it hard to use froyo daily (and due to fact I'm an app horder). But yeah, the HTC blaze/emerald (the one with the qwerty kb) l will be tempted if things are still this slow by the time late autumn/early winter rolls around.
That's exactly what I am thinking. It is locked up pretty tight and hopefully our ota update to froyo will be a game changer for it and we can move forward.
Sent from my MR1 V4 Remix 3G using XDA App
I can say, that lack of leaks and ota is holding us devs back. If there was a leak froyo, i would be able to build jdfroyo with no problem. Hopefully i will be able to port something i will make for the gsm hero.

There is some update in this section being talked about but from what I can gather its stuff that has been fixed or only applys to espresso rom. In other words not froyo... but it did state and interesting addition that will be useful to all roms: the ability to use mms/sms over wifi.

[Q] I have a epic on a service other then sprint problem is its on 2.1

I have a sprint epic that is on a different service. My problem is its running 2.1. I would like to get it up to 2.2 if possible. or is it safe to one click root?
I do not wanna screw up my service.
(Not sure if i can mention the service its on because some forums don't allow it)
Roms generally don't affect service, unless you flash the wrong modem. 2 things: look at syndicate rom frozen 1.1.0 in the development section and learn how odin works then you will be a much happier epic user. Whatever you do GET OFF 2.1 !!!!

so i can pretty much do the one click root and just dont mess with the modem by flashing anything different and it should be safe to flash those rom?

Some good easy roms.

So I have on order from tmobile 2 of these phones for my parents, they wanted to upgrade and learn how to use them. But coming from well... I nokia bar phone, and a old samsung slide phone, this change might be a little big. So I was wondering if you guys could recommend some good stable roms that are easy to use, have somewhat decent battery life. Or even if should I just stick with the stock one? Thank you guys. -CptSamir
I just released a ROM earlier today.

Personally I would let them knock around the stock rom for a little while until they get used to android and then try a custom ROM later.

Since they're for your parents, I would leave them as is, stock. Chances are, they're never going to understand or utilize the phone's full potential. Unless you plan on always being available to immediately troubleshoot any and all errors/issues that might/will pop up with a custom ROM, stock is the way to go. Even stock blows away other phones available.

If this is there 1st foray into Android, leave it stock. The worst thing you can do is have a custom ROM on it, then have it do some weird stuff, and they are up a creek when they go to the store to have them fix it.
If they want to mod the phone and mess with it, let them make the choice and let them learn to do it.
You could at least root and debloat the phones.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
I wouldn't do anything to them, this phone is good stock. The last thing you need is them accidentally going to recovery and messing with something they shouldn't.
That's the best thing to do IMO.

Pretty much it depends on your parents understanding of Technology my mother I got her into android I gave her my old Vibrant custom rom and all and from time to time i would update it to something newer and she would get how to use it pretty quick sure she has had some issues but if your knowledgeable enough you can help em in those snags as for ROMs i would suggest Bombaridier personally my favorite
I would just stick with the stock one personally. And this is coming from someone who in the past ALWAYS flashed a custom rom on other phones.
I'd flash a custom kernel, like darkside, because it make the phone much smoother
Sent From The Best Phone of 2011
I vote for stock as well. I am still on stock (rooted and bloat-frozen) and it works well for me. If we had MIUI, then I would recommend that because your parents could easily cusome the look of their phones to their hearts' content without alot of knowledge and without great risk.

Yeah stick with stock, they wont notice the difference anyhow. Its not like they're gonna go overclocking/undervolting the cpu, theming or all that good stuff. My guess its they just want it for what it is, a phone

You'd be better off finding a cricket rom then flashing a different kernel, experimenting with some build.prop tweaks, underclocking or undervolting with vipermod.
Yeah, if I knew how to do all that it would be cool but I don't. I think I just need to find another forum that has more experience with cricket stuff. Thanks to everyone though.

If you can flash a Rom, you can make the changes the previous poster suggested. At some point, you will need to go beyond just flashing and actually tweaking. Do yourself the favor and do some reading.

hey if your talking for the HTC EVO 4G, In my experience and opinion this would be myn 2.2 or nitrous rom these both are great roms for Cricket! as far as kernals a htc 17 or 18 or toastmod is fine..my phone is currently running.. nitrous v1.4.7 and im using nitrousv0.3-sbc kernal ..yeah i know SBC blah blah blah but i havent had any issues!
MikG.
I gave up development of my own rom Jiminy tuned for cricket about a year ago and have been using MikG since. It works great.
yeah I've had my evo OG 4 bout 3 months. Flashed it to cricket the day after I got it. I've used all the ICS ROMS and can vouche that they do work even on cricket. "Flashing" a ROM doesnt really effect the carrier settings that are "flashed" to the phone. But do make a nandroid backup and keep a sense ROM that has EPST on your SD card. You will know it has EPST on it if you dial ##3424# . You might need this later if you have to change any settings or bring your phone in to get reflashed or whatever.

Boost rom data error's

This discussion is only for user's who have had their E4GT flashed to Boost.
I have tried almost all the roms. Including the Samsung Boost leaks. When I'm on all the ICS roms I get a data error then update profile and it's gone for a while but comes back often. I have been running Calk's 3.0 GB and never have a data error.
Of course, that is why my daily is the aforementioned Calk 3.0.
Anyone have any similar experiences?

I've used both paranoid Rom 2.2 (which I'm currently using) and the stock ff18 Rom and have never had the 3g stop or anything related to that and I'm on boost. I also wrote an updated guide on how to COMPLETELY flash that can be found somewhere in the older flash to boost thread in this section.

In order to have working 4g you need to clone or change your 4g mac address to a working active sprint address or a clear mac. Reference this thread for more info.

Your will not lose 4g once you have done this by just changing roms since this setting sticks.

Have tried both the Boost leaks and many of the Sprint roms. Currently I use Calk's gb 3.0 since it doesn't give me any data error's. Since I don't know anyone who has gotten a E4GT from Boost I have no way of knowing what if any the difference is. I created this thread because I wanted to know if Boost user's were getting data error's on ics. Still haven't gotten any feedback on that.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
More specifically since both replies relate.... Boost has this with 4G now...I mean same network essentially right? I would THINK in my tiny little mind that the need for a full BOOST flash plus additional 4G mac tinkering may not be completely necessary outside changing some minor things? ...I guess that's more where I was headed with that question, but it will end up rooted and flashed anyway...
Rigel, I'll move my wandering mind to a new thread if you prefer.

Lol. Both leaked Boost roms are full Boost roms. I do know that unlike hacked Sprint phones flashed to Boost the 4g option will start at 55 and shrink from there.
bigtimeweb please feel free to discuss anything in any thread of mine anytime that is why I created it.
