Hey guys. I have a problem and not sure how to go about this. My Evo was at 2.2 rooted for a long while and all of a sudden it started acting up. It would always freeze and had to be rebooted constantly. So I had a back that I went back to successfully but it is at 2.1 now (Baseband 2.15.00.09.01)
Now I'm not getting the OTA update to 2.2. I go into HTC software update and it says no available updates for my phone.
So how do I get to 2.2 or 2.3 rooted?
FYI after going into bootlaoder and choosing Recovery, I get Clockworkmod Recovery. Is this normal?
You need to flash the stock rooted ROM for the latest OTA update. I would suggest trying out some different Roms, though. That's the best part of rooting.
And ClockworkMod is the most popular recovery for the Evo, so yeah that's probably right.

Sounds like the perfect time to throw CM7 on there and see what you think about AOSP Gingerbread.

It's pretty easy actually. Once you have root again (if you don't already), go to http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic and download either the newest nighly (30) or RC2 to your memory card.
Boot into Clockwork and go to backup and restore, and choose nandroid backup or backup (I'm not using clockwork, so I don't know the exact verbiage). Once the backup is complete, do a full system wipe by clicking on wipe data/factory reset.
Once that is done, choose install zip from sdcard, scroll down to cm_supersonic_full-30.zip and select it. It will install and then ask you to reboot. Go ahead and reboot.
Once your phone is up and running again, you'll want to get back into recovery so that you can flash GoogleApps, which you can find here: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/.
You'll flash these just like you did CyanogenMod 7 a minute ago, although you will want to wipe your cache and dalvik cache (which is located under "advanced" in the Clockwork menu) first.
All you have to do then is boot back up, go through the walkthrough to set up your google account, and then you'll be running (close to) stock Gingerbread 2.3.
If you need any help, feel free to ask.
Awesome!!! Thanks blackroseMD1!! I'll give it a try when I get home from work tonight. I'm not rooted right now. The last time I rooted I used unrevoked because it was so easy. Would that be good enough to get the process rolling?

I'd actually use the link that CheesyNutz posted up there. Universal Auto Root works better than Unrevoked, from what I've heard.

Yea it looks great and loving the change so far
One last question. Is there a tethering app built into CM7 or do I need to get wireless tether from the marketplace?
Edit...Nevermind I think I found it right underneath bluetooth settings

Yeah, built in tethering works fine. Seems like you found it. Enjoy Gingerbread.
Many recommend wiping data/factory reset (which I know was suggested and you've done), but also cache and dalvik BEFORE flashing any new ROM. Also, with CM, is it not suggested that you use Format_All?

I only started using Format All recently, and never had any trouble before that with just a factory reset. Different phones react differently though...
another question is voicemail is not working. I get a text message saying Android has sent younansprint voice message and to call a number. Then it has this long string of letters and numbers. So how do inset this up

Your best bet is to use YouMail, which is free in the market. It's a lot like Sprint's Visual VoiceMail that you have on Sense roms, but with more features. I use it, and I love it.
Hello all,
So I bought my HTC Wildfire S Virgin Mobile on black friday like everybody else. I waited a few days and then rooted. And then I had the brilliant idea to try installing the CM 7.1 Mod for it. And well, I didn't do a Clockwork Backup, and well, it didnt work very well. The phone got stuck on the HTC screen. So finally I installed a different ROM, JikantaruROM, and I managed to get past the bootscreen but I can't use my carrier anymore. So I was wondering if anybody could either tell me how to flash CM 7.1 Unoffical release to my phone, or if anybody knew a way I could get back to the original Virgin Mobile software. It seems that you have all the other stock roms, so I would REALLY appreciate if someone could share the Virgin Mobile rom too.
Thanks in advance,
Wieland959
Seconded. Although I think mine is in a slightly worse case; I kept flashing roms and ended up in a state where it turns on, screen remains black, then the phone vibrates three times and evidently does nothing. So Wieland959, I'd advise you to stop flashing until someone posts the ROM.
And if someone could let me know how to recover from my current state, I'd very much appreciate it.

Your in the same boat I was just in. My solution was to go back to radioshack with the receipt and tell them it just turned off and wouldnt turn back on. Just doing the 3 vibrations. I did spend hours trying to search about how to fix it, but I dont think theres a way unless you use a jtag hookup and some sort of fancy programmer.
@Wieland959, If you want. I just tried to do the OTA update through the settings on the phone itself. It would let me download the file(I believe it should be flashable through the cwm recovery), but when I tried to let the phone install the file, I would get the android with the exclamation mark after the reboot. Ill try to post here, if it will upload. But......
DISCLAIMER!!!!
I take no responsibility for anyone damaging their phone using the file here. This file, as far as I know, should only work with the Wildfire S Virgin Mobile USA CDMA model A510C as this is the phone the file was downloaded from.
Thank you for the file, but I couldn't flash it. What might work though, if you are willing is, if you have rooted your phone, to make a cwm backup and upload that here. From there I should be able to recover and then factory wipe my phone. But thank you anyways for the file. I will keep kicking until the phone doesn't boot.
How are you planning on restoring from backup if the phone doesn't even boot?
Sorry, I'm new to this...

Okay. I managed to boot my phone and am able to send/receive texts. The rom I used? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367701] It seems to work pretty well. However, I would still like to have the original rom if someone could still upload it.
VM USA Stock Clockwork Backup
Well, I don't know much about stuff like this, but here is my clockwork mod recovery backup. It's just the stock VM USA w/HTC Sense. I have realized that I deleted the bloatware, so that's the only thing that isn't 100% stock. Hope it helps.
*Unzip the file before placing on you sd card. (Contains the clockwork folder, which contains the backup folder,and then the folder that contains the backup itself.)*

Thanks for the backup! It worked perfect for me!
would you mind if i posted the link on another forum? i know of a couple people looking for a backup aswell.
You should be able to switch back with the recovery no problem. Correct me if I'm wrong, but to install boot into recovery, install from SD, select specific, and select the zip of the rom. Also, I don't have my phone on me so the wording might be a little different.
MMS is a known issue with the rom from what I've read. I don't have it installed personally.
@brandonhun, Thank you so much. You're a life saver. As far as the rom goes, it still have sense on it and there are tons of MMS errors. So just wait and eventually something will pop up.

Just a heads up wieland, when you get a voice mail and you try to check it from the notifications make sure it's your number, because I ended up giving brandonhun a call. Going through the activation app and rebooting fixed the problem.

I haven't done this ROM change but if its the stock HTC Sense go to personalize and get HTC widgets (perhaps its get more HTC widgets) and you should find an update to the clock widget. That should give you the original clock plus a bunch more new ones.

Can someone help me with this? I found that if you remove sprintandroidextension.apk it goes away but it didnt. I also found that by removing SprintOMADMConnMOPlugin.apk it goes away, but i cant find it on my Galaxy note 2. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
If you let it go all the way through HFA once it won't return. Since you removed sprintandroidextension.apk I'm not sure it will succeed now. Try re-adding that first.

I would have thought so too. As I've been advised by other as well. But...
I have, at least five times, run a return to stock, both through ODIN and OneClicks.
I still have the issue. Baffles the mind. Makes little sense. But there it is. And I'm not the only one.
(Just so it's noted, and before you accuse me otherwise, I am not new at this, and I follow directions fastidiously. I've never once had a problem that I didn't cause myself, and I've always been able to fix them by further reading/researching.)
Just for SnG's I'll quote myself and others from a few other posts in other threads:

Just my 2 cents, my experience with this error.
I'm getting the Chameleon FC, and the persistent HandsFree Activation on every reboot. All started when I lost wifi on the LK8 update zip (I was rooted, thanks to Voodoo OTA rootkeep), and tried to get back to LJC...
And this morning, I tried the following:
Installed TWRP with GooManage, restored a nandroid from my orig rooting using the toolkit, no luck, same two errors.
So then I OneClicked the Full Restore (SPH-L900_LJC_Stock_Restore.exe), and wtf, still there.
As I mentioned in my quote, it (the Note2) works, not broken, but I find the persistent error worrisome.
I am open to criticism, suggestions, whatever. What am I missing?

I'm having similar issues, I was on the release before LK8, then updated to LK8 but wanted to start over again.
Once i downgraded to LJ1? the hands free bug kept popping up every reboot, until I moved onto to LJC then LK8 update file which is fine.
I'm trying to figure out myself how to go back to the original firmware (pre any updates) without the issues... /subscribed.
Wonder if this is tied into it somehow...
I dunno, my head is exploding reading all these posts, replies.... 5 different versions of restore.

Also, I've been reading that re-flashing the LK8 update.zip (via sxtp?) while it seems to fix the HFA and ChameleonFC, it kills the wifi? (it killed my wifi after aprox 2 days use, when I orig updated...)

So I ended up returning my phone to Sprint, the swapped it out pretty easy, let them see the issue and error, they said "yeah, that ain't normal", got me a new one.
kingdazy said:
it would seem that the factors that all of us with this issue have in common are: a) rooting w/ ToolKit ver2 b) flashing LK8 update zip c) trying to return to stock LJC/LJ1 because of a wifi problem... please chime in if you have the issue, but not one of those factors?
After everything, I just returned to stock LJC w/ Flash Counter @ 0 (no) w/ the errors still present, took it into Sprint store said, 'hey guys, this is weird, i've got a persistent error, won't go away after resetting my phone." (IE, acted dumb enough to not have rooted/flashed unofficial shtuff/etc, but smart enough to know that it's a real issue), they looked at it, asked a few obvious questions, replaced it, because obviously something was wrong in a permanent way. I want to a corp store, not a "repair center". I think it was a good thing that these guys were not super techie.
I told them as little as possible, that I had a "wifi issue after an update, tried full reset (through the android settings menu, of course), and the problem didn't go away, no matter what". Once they heard that I had done a full factory reset, and saw the problem/error happen, it was a no-brainer to swap out.
I'll be avoiding the LK8 leak for now, and frankly gun-shy about the toolkit.

ok, to get back to stock, first use this OneClick to get to Stock+Root, it will wipe ALL internal memory except SD card:

Instructions are here:
http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showt...-TAR-SPH-L900-LJC-(LJC-Modem-Kernel-ROM-Stock)
then use TriangleAway, this will set your counter at 0 (reads as "no" in download mode). it should also say "Official" And "Samsung Official"
Then, if you want to get Total Stock unrooted, for returns to Sprint, or any other reason, use Odin (not mobile) to flash this:

Good luck to the people with this error, I feel for you, very frustrating. I am hoping that Samsung releases an official OTA soon similar to LK8, that you will be able to flash that will fix the error and the wifi.
And I hope the devs are reading these posts (even if they are not responding), are at least looking into it.
I know we have the attentions of garwynn, he's made the SxTp team at least aware that there might be an issue.
You'll be seeing me.
Yeah, I have to give it up to garwynn, he hooked me up with the pit file for our phone. Good people.

this morning I got unfourtunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped and cannot get the phone to boot without constantly hitting the "OK"
I see there is no signal, and can see in the phone information that the radio is turned off. I have an app that used to get to the screen but now it hangs due to the phone has stopped issue.
Is there any way I can turn the radio on by using some code with the dialer pad?
I have tried recovering 3 other nand backups, but none work. all have the same result.
Thanks for any help someone might be able to give me!
Remove your sd card sim card and battery let set 10 minutes put back in see if the message is still present if so you might need a new sim card.

I have tried both of the above suggestions and no joy!
I have 2 nandroid backups that were done when the phone was working fine, and recovering either one has the very same symptoms.
I'm not sure that all the phone is backed up or restored in entirety, unless there it a hardware fault in this phone. It's 31 days old today..... :<(
if anyone else has any ideas, I'm all ears!
Thanks!
Might just be a lemon. I would just flash back to stock then take the phone and get a replacement.

You still have given us no details on what you are running, stock, rooted, touchwiz, aosp. Do you know how to Odin back to stock? Sounds to me what happens when you flash a modem not meant for the phone.

Odin back to stock I would think should alleviate your problem. I flashed an international modem when I was running omega rom and got flash happy when I was drunk. Had the exact same problem you are describing odin to stock worked for me

Yo Tyler!
I was not drunk nor did I flash anything, it was going fine and suddenly, poof!,,,,,
Anyway, I tried your suggestion and IT WORKED! I also saw, (I don't know how/why) all my apps being installed automatically!
Well, almost all anyway. I had to install only maybe 3 apps, and that was all. Even my keyboard configuration that I made lots of cosmetic changes to- via the apps setup, was like I had set it up as... Weird, but great for me!
Thanks for your suggestion. It's quite odd, as one of the nandroid backups was made using the exact rom image that I used to Odin back to stock....
Nevertheless, as the Hawaiians say, MAHALO NUI LOA! Tyler No Ka OI (Tyler is the best)
Aloha...
Glad I could help. The modem isn't in your back up that's why back ups won't fix this problem. As for apps, it's from syncing your Google account. Aloha

If you chose to have Google back up and restore your apps, it will do just that.
I turned my s3 off for about a month while I used my note2. When I turned it off it was rooted with twr recovery and running a custom Rom. When I turned it back on the Rom was still running however I did loose all the widgets I was using. Over night titanium tried to run the scheduled backup redo. Then in the morning I noticed titanium said it could not gain root access. I tried other apps that require root and none will gain access. The super user app is still there but says there is no root. It's simple enough to re-root but I'm really curious as to what happened. Any ideas?

Please Specify Rom and Android Version.
In short, if your TWRP recovery is intact try a factory reset from there.
Thanks Persius, I haven't tried to go into recovery since I have to do it manually cause I'm not sure what will happen if it's not there. My computer is broke right now so I'm limited. It's been since the s3 first came out that I installed the Rom so I'm not really sure which one I'm on but it says JZO 54, and it's 4.1.2 Thanks again for your help

Say... Are you sure we talking about an SIII or an S-II ?? That sounds like the 4.1.2 Stock of an S II. What does it say under Settings > About Phone > Model Number ?
Turn off completely then Hit Volumn Up + Home +Power all at the same time. Wait for 3 minutes or so with all 3 pressed. You will see Recovery come on. Let go of all 3 buttons and then do a Factory Reset in the recovery.
Thanks again, under build that's what it says, jzo 54, I think it might be Liquid Smooth. And it is an s3. I will try to go into recovery if you don't think anything will happen if that's not there either. Something else weird I just thought of is I also had some strange kiddie like themes and apps I never put there. It's like someone else used my phone but that's not possible as I saw it every day and live alone. Strange. Any way, thanks again

Yes its safe to Go into Recovery. Go ahead and do a Factory Reset. Let me know how that goes.
Ok, did the factory reset and went ahead and did the ota update to 4.0 I'm going to root again. Do you have any suggestions on a good Rom? Also what is the best way to root these days and best recovery? Thanks Perseus I appreciate your help and advice

I am confused. Wasn't (or shouldn't it be ) your S3 already on the JB 4.1 ? What did you mean by OTA update to 4.0 ? Are you referring to the OTA Update to 4.3 ?
I can not comment on Rooting unless I know which os version you have.
Sorry, was a misprint. Yes, went to 4.3

So if you still have TWRP then flash Superuser from Recovery. Lookup its thread here on XDA.
However, with the Knox being present and SELinux in Enforcing state, your chances of Rooting are slim.
Please don't brick your device.
