[Q] How to activate this thang? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just bought another Evo and it came with a different Rom than original (who would expect that), can anyone just mention a Rom that can be used to activate this phone, because have tried everything I could think of. No Sprint Lovers, which I know it will work, because upload site is down.
Need some help so I could flash this sucker back.

You should be able to use the stock 4.67 ota....I would think anyway

Yup that would work, A stock SPRINT sense rom...nothing 3.0+...then call your sprint store and they should be able to activate it.

i used cm7.1 when i flashed my evo over. here is the link to download it
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.1.0-Supersonic-signed.zip

if this link doesnt work then just go to cyonogen mod site and find the evo device and download the newest stable mod. which is at the moment CM7.1

Thanks guys, but do you know of any that are rooted and the link to download works

Most of the roms in the Dev section are rooted, unless they specifically say Stock Unrooted. Just flash any Sense rom to activate. Flashing a Stock rom would be the best bet to make sure you don't run into any problems.

Thanks Guys, your the best.

[Q] QUESTIONS ABOUT [ROM] 9.28 | Swagged Out Stock v1.9.0.4 BETA

Hello All,
I'm fairly new to the rooted game and custom roms and what not...I am currently under a stock rooted rom, 4.53.651.1 - Odexed & De-Odexed. I was looking into flashing the Swagged Out Stock and had a few questions...I tried to look for some of the answers but couldn't find anything definitive. First of all, is the rom based on the latest ota update from sprint (4.53)? Do I need to apply the same wireless-n fix that I had to apply on the current rom I have? And does anyone know for certain if this rom supports DTA2SD? I believe that's it for now. Thanks in advance and any help is appreciated.

im not seeing any aosp action happening for the tmobile variant yet which is kinda disappointing but i do know a at&t version is being worked on and i tried it the other day, it's good and works for the most part. you just have to flash our radio after installing the rom. hopefully we will get some aosp/aokp roms soon enough.
Could you send me the link to that version?

Or are you going back to stock and then flashing forward?

EDITs (abridged).
Flashed MIUI (just for kicks), odin'd modem (since flashable wasn't working).
Booted fine.. looked great. Everything seemed to be working, including S-Pen, except for Sound and calls (lol). Outgoing calls might have been working, but got no audio. Permissions manager was freaking out too.. tons of related FCs. Anyway.. was nice to see it on the Note 2.
Reading thru the thread now.. and see the permissions and calls are a known issue.

[Q]

So i finally rooted my LGOG v9. Finally!!! Now i want to flash because i cant wait for jelly bean. But im like so clueless. Like what are gaaps?? can someone please show me how to flash a good cm roms. Or make a vid!!!!
You should google first, I know everyone was a first timer at one point, but at least try googling how to use recovery to flash roms.
Do that, and follow the OP installation instructions, and you'll be fine.

Don't think that Rom will work for him. Chances are he has upgraded to the latest version of LG's firmware. And I doubt he will have luck trying to downgrade. Maybe link him to Houston's jb leaks. They flash problem free without having to downgrade.

Your best bet is to read, read, read. Each device may respond a little bit differently to each ROM, and what apps you install can have an effect as well. It can be a long process, but the only way to say what ROM works for you is to try it

Solved [Q] Camera stopped working after flashing Agat kernel help?

I flashed Agat's latest kernal(MA06 #v0.4.3) for the Sprint Galaxy S3 and my camera stopped working. I tried a couple other camera apps but I get the same "warning camera failed" message. I am running stock /rooted 4.1.2 on cspire galaxy s3 and everything else is working perfectly. If anyone has or had this problem or knows a fix for this, it would be most appreciated. I have looked through the forums for at least 2-3 hours but I have not found any information related to this issue.

It does sound kernel related, it's been so long since I ran Agat kernel. I would suggest trying a different kernel, then you'll know if it's the kernal causing the issue.

I haven't yet. I'm kind of new at this, so I chose to flash the Agat kernel because I had used it with 4.1.1 and I really liked it. Also, I didn't have to go in and rename any files so I felt more comfortable using this one. I will do some more reading though and I may go ahead & flash the ktoonsez kernel. Thank you for taking the time to give input! I appreciate it.

Ok, so I got my nerve up to flash ktoonsez kernel using CWM. For some reason the phone rebooted on it's own three different times before I could even go in to rename the files. Needless to say I got nervous & restored the phone back the way it was. I was afraid it may get stuck and not boot up all the way so I panicked. The instructions said to do the wipe & fix permissions "after flashing but before rebooting" but it automatically rebooted after flashing. Could that have messed something up?

[Q] Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999L) -- assert error when flashing from bootloader

Hello everyone, first off I want to say I have flashed many different phones with CM over the past few years. I have been a fan of android phones since Day 1. I got a G1 the day they came out and was pretty active in the scene up about about 2 years ago. I had a G2 for awhile as well, loved it... had CM on it as well. Anyway, the problem at hand is this Galaxy S III.
I have flashed many phones for friends and co-workers and whomever asks. I have NEVER had such a problem with flashing a phone as this one.
Apparently its a regionally special model (SGH-T999L).
I have downloaded CWM 6.0.3.1 after rooting with motochopper (easiest root experience ever), then I attempted to flash to CM10.1.2. The phone is currently on 4.1.2. When I attempt to flash from CWM, it gives the assert failed error. I have seen a few other threads about this but they were regarding other carriers (AT&T) and honestly I have tried a million and one things in attempt to get this to flash, I have seriously spent over 8 hours today trying to get this flashed to CM10.1.2 and even 10.1, I even tried using the touch version of CWM and tried TWRP to see if I'd get a different result... But no.. same result.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I have tried everything I can think of on all three platforms... Win7, MacOSX 10.6.8 and Ubuntu 10 and 12.... cannot get it to flash to CM no matter what. I am almost positive it is something I am overlooking. If anyone knows how to get past this please let me know, I will gladly send you a present via fedex.
Thanks in advance.
Senor Y.

Basically in some roms, particularly cm and aosp roms they check the bootloader to make sure its up to date. The T999L is just so new that many devs have not yet added its bootloader to the updater-script. Read the info I have in the thread I linked and if you need help editing the script, let me know.
Ill try to fix and upload the rom shortly, just to make it easy for everyone.

Doc,
One last question, is there a baseband update I need to apply for CM10.1.2 / 4.2.2 ? -- I got the gapps installed and there doesn't appear to be problems yet, but the know-it-alls in #cyanogenmod seem to think I need to install a baseband update but they cannot provide me with a link... so I was wondering what your take on that is.

It's bad advice. Ignore it.
Very bad advice! !!
Baseband is your modem which should have nothing to do with your rom. They probably meant bootloader. But the T999L only has one version of firmware available right now, so it wouldn't be possible anyway. Theyd probably tell you to use MD5, but that would brick your phone!
Glad you asked!
