Hi. I recently rooted and installed a WWE "sensefroyo" rom off the internet.
And I just figured out (since a couple of hours) that my speaker isn't working AT ALL.
Before, it worked when you left the battery out for a minute and put it back in. it worked flawlessly. But after a while it'd go back to being messed up.
Now its screwed. and wont work at all.
I didnt realise I needed to get it replaced till now.
I really need the Telus Desire rom asap. As I just emailed them about it, and most likely need to get it replaced/fixed. And I dont know much about Telus, if you lose warranty privileges if you root/custom ROM it.
Unless I can tell them that I installed the official 2.2 ROM (dont know if it needs root) off those .exe files (the RUU_Signed) kind. (They didn't work for me. So i rooted using recovery)
Or if you can link me to one where I can find a rom that does not require rooting, and has an .exe file and a copy of a .zip kind.
I wrote a lot here, and its all over the place.
Right now. Either link me to the Telus Desire rom. or one where I can flash without rooting.
I am going to unroot as soon as I get one of those two things^
Thanks. I just hope you guys know what kind of freaky situation I am in.
Where did you buy it, and how long has it been since you bought it?
Depending on those factors, you may not need to worry too much.
I had it activated on a 3 year contract almost a week ago(Not even a week)
What do you mean by I will not have to worry about these things?
Is Telus a carrier that is more on the 'chill' side of things?
EDIT - So I just got off the phone with Telus.
The representative told me if I installed something that Telus did not release. That basically voids my warranty. So now I really need to get back exactly as it was before.
Can someone please help me out here?
I need to go to a dealer soon to get it replaced.
I am pretty sure I can unroot it myself with no issues I guess.
I really need something that matches with the same stats as a Telus Desire.
You should probably try starting over.
If your rom is still rooted, get ROM Manager and install clockworkmod.
You can install something stable like opendesire and wipe data/cache.
You should be fine, unless you really have some unusual desire to be on Telus' rom.
I was wondering if someone can post what their 'software version' looked like on a Telus Desire
Maybe then I can try to get the same radio and 'stats' as a factory device.
I got on a rep and they also said that the worst thing that can happen is your device will be sent back.
They even said that some people wont even notice the software change and stuff.
If at the end I cant get a Telus rom. I would LOVE a link to an Eclair build rom. Possibly one that is an official.
Didn't you nandroid backup prior to moving to froyo?
From what I understand you can restore from that.

I actually have NO idea what nandroid was.
I just followed instructions off a tut on xda.
So I cant seem to find factory eclair roms.
Now I read around a little bit more.
And just feel completely stupid.
Please. Someone. A factory Eclair build.
start by getting clockworkmod installed.
Without knowing what state your device is in, it's tough to help you.
but with clockworkmod recovery going, you will easily be able to switch between roms.
Honestly you couldn't have bought it that long ago, just return it to the store, the guys don't even know how to check.

I already do have it. Thats how i installed all the different roms (Leedroid, Nightly Cyanogen, and then eventually the official one)
Hold on for a couple of minutes as I can provide you with some of my hboot and so recovery options. (Using the WiFi hot spot at the moment)

Yes it is an SLCD display?
you needs more? - tell me what exactly you need and how I can get it
download opendesire 3.5.0, wipe data/cache, flash that.
after you set it up, let us know what's not working.
If I were you, I would go back to the store you got it from, with your recipt and contract. You have 14 days to return any phone. That's how I got my desire, I returned a Hero. Make sure you take everythign back you got, charger, phones, etc. Tell them waiting to get a band new phone fixed is a waste of your time, and you want to exchange the phone right away.
So long as you have a sense UI ROM running, I doubt they will know you have rooted the phone. The guys where I bought the phone didn't know too much about it.
If you managed to get a tech support guy to tell you they might not notice, you clearly have the power to get what you need from people. Be forceful if you have to, within 2 weeks they should just give you a brand new phone. After 14days though, your gonna have to live with no speaker, hope it's actually a software issue(doesn't sould like it if even stock it was failing), or send it back and hope they don't miss it. To the best of my knowledge there are no Telus official roms to be found, but there are many official roms from other places. As long as your background doesn't say VodaPhone or something, how will they know?

Telus has 30 day DOA over the counter exchange.
YAh but he made the mistake of telling them e rooted and flashed it (why on earth would any one do that i dont know)
So they have flagged that IMEI in the system as void.
Your best bet is to try doing a wipe and flashing back to the telus 2.1 rom and radio, you will, the recovery is gone though as we dont hava ruu.
Actually. I didnt. I went straight for asking the question off a residential phone that uses Rogers. So they don't know who I was or any account related things.
The first time I called though, I told them that the speaker wasnt working and I wanted it replaced.
So no my IMEI is not flagged, guarantee you that part.
I will try using the OpenDesire 3.5.0 with "clear/wire cache"
This might work for you and i think its your best bet.

Go to the above thread, follow the instructions and make a gold card.
then go to the following thread, download official froyo rom and flash it. It looks almost the same as the original rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753672
I cant seem to do the goldcard thing.
I am using the official 2.2 at the moment.
It does look the same as 2.1 Telus itself.
What does it mean over here?
# Ensure you have unzipped the SDK, then open a command prompt to the extract location. Change to the 'tools directory.
# Type
Code:
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
and press enter. You should get a very long number which looks like this: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402.

I cant seem to do the "command prompt" location thing.
Someone wanna help me? maybe with some screenshots?
I am done making the GoldCard. What does it even do though?
It has something to do with switching to the factory rom..
Now. I have issues with the RUU. It does not wait long enough for the phone to be in bootloader.
EDIT - Is there any way I can "remove" or uninstall the Superuser Permissions app and the "Wi-Fi Hotspot" app? To make it appear even more legitimate.

I packed up the telus stock rom from a nandroid dump you can try it.
http://www.mightyrom.com/mrx/MRX/Bravo/Stock/Telus_HTC_Desire_Stock_2.1_NoRADIO.zip
Hey I needed to unroot my phone too and I tried a bunch of things then I was following procedures to root my phone again because I tried installing the Rom that was posted by the person that posted before me and I messed up and got lots of errors when I got the phone started and had to force close a bunch of things constantly. Anyways I followed step 3 of the tut for rooting TELUS desires on this forum site and when it restarted I got my stock TELUS Rom back unrooted. This is the step I followed
3. Go to HBOOT, this is done by shutting down your phone and powering on the device while holding the Power button down and pushing Volume down at the same time, once HBOOT is loaded do a wipe (Clear Storage). You can navigate the menus by using the volume rocker and the Power button to select your option.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7818278 is the link to the tut I was following.
I dunno how it worked but it did, I got my stock TELUS Rom by doing this. Maybe I got lucky and maybe you might too. Oh and just for your info, the tut I used to root my desire initially was this one forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750888. Good luck
So a bit of background first...
Been with sprint a couple months now and had data issues since day 1 (between 7 and 15 kB/s at home)home is worse but it generally sucked everywhere. I waited a few weeks to root while trying to resolve, but as it was not being fixed (and I was told ota would fix issues as it was radoi software in my area) I went with Kindom as soon as V dropped it. (rocks BTW I flashed a handful of others but always went back to it)
OTA dropped and I tried V's updated and of course it didnt improve speeds in fact they got slower... Called sprint back and went through another 3-4 calls before they sent me back to store for a full software check and breakdown of my phone. At that point I put myself back to s-on and stock for the visit (glad I did as they checked bootloader)
I was told at that point that they could do nothing as it was a evo issue (wtf) so called retention and was sent a airwave (not using it as I pay for data so I ant using my isp for that) and then a few calls later they finally send me a phone through advanced exchange. (supposedly new)
Sorry for the long backstory but now to the point...
I was told when I called Ret. that she would give me a 200 credit, but then came back and was told I didnt have enough support tickets filed to do so, and my only option was to try a new phone. Got the phone planning to take pics and vids of speedtest to send back to verify it is not a issue with my specific phone (had 3 friends with evos that have same issues, but epic blows away our speed in my house... found that hard to believe when I first saw it)
Phone came in and its refurb. On top of that it is on the GB update, but has a PRI of 1.90_003. To me that didnt seem right as every evo I have seen OTA or rooted OTA had the 2.15 so has anyone else seen this?
I plan on calling sprint as it was supposed to be new, not refurb, but want to make sure that this isnt something I just dont know about (doubtful... seems almost like a previously rooted with s-on?) so I can limit my time on phone and have a good stance to argue... Spent 6 hours on the phone with them already this week and dont want anymore than I have to.
Hmm interesting situation i am not expert on sprint by any means but try to keep up with my phone. a good question to ask sprint or if anyone else knows is ... what is sprints policy on updating phone when they are "refurbished"? I'd assume that if it meets the req to be refurbished they most likely updated it to gingerbread before reboxing. I guess thats a thought sorry i can't help with ur data issues but good luck
Sorry I should have shortened it down to not confuse...
Isuue is not the GB, but the PRI that came with the GB as it is not the correct PRI for that version...
1.90_003 vs 2.15_003 (what it should be)
I dont even want to touch the phone and then when it gets sent back have issues with them saying I rooted it, as there is no way to flash to a correct PRI that I know of at this time..
Edit: Or they may in fact be shipping with that version. Just hoping for others response and experience as it seemed fishy.
have u tried downgrading to 1.77 as well ?
its a wake issue fix for some sense gb roms out there but once again not specific to your problem
Had an AE replacement done recently, picked up 3 days ago. I received a new unit with GB and the 2.15_003 PRI.
Cannot downgrade, upgrade, anything... As stated this is a refurb phone that just came in. It is on the 4.22 so as far as I know there is no way to flash anything...
Its not rooted, though may be a previously rooted phone...
Basically has anyone seen a NON-ROOTED phone come with GB and 1.90 PRI
Edit: Ty jadigy that was more of the answer I was looking for

yes my replacement that I just got today has PRI 1.90_003. I updated to 4.24.651.1 and still the same PRI.
Is there a way for non-rooted phones to update their PRI?

AFAIK there is not... hence my issue
After a couple hours on the phone with sprint (and a couple drinks after to make up for it) I was told it was a rooted device... I may have pointed them in that direction to get a replacement though. That said I also asked them if they were hiring as the first 6 people I talked to either did not know what a PRI was or simply did not know how to find out what was shipped with the 4.22 update.
I must say walking each one through the process only to be told they had no Idea and I finally asked for a store appointment. (hopefully a bit more luck there)
The general consensus seemed to be I should check to see if it said 2.3 for the android version and if it said anything but that (even 2.3.3 LOL) it was either a fake or rooted phone.
That said sprint has issues with their CS to say the least and I am thinking of starting a poll/ballot (probably not the right word... did I say a few drinks... I meant meant a few during and a few after) the devs/members here to work for sprint
sorry for cutting in..i just posted without reading this first,sry for that,but i am on the same pri,and it wont let me flash as well.1.90 003,this sucks

I called them last night too. Everytime I would say PRI they would say PRL, I finally explained the technical difference to the guy on the phone. Long story short he claimed their demo device was 1.90. Were you able to have them admit was version was the latest?
Is there a problem with having the 1.90 PRI or something?
Did you try the complete wipe with MSL and or other reset method that was used in the past to update the PRI. The real questions is why does it matter, but give it a shot.
To do a complete wipe, you will need your MSL code. Call sprint and they can give it to you.
Type in ##786# into the dialer, hit menu and chose reset and punch in your MSL. Your phone will clear out all data and settings except for your SD card. It will then reboot and do hands free activation, check for a PRL and firmware update. Somewhere in there you should get a newer PRI.
You can check your PRI version in About Phone under Software Information. If you don't succeed at first, keep trying...and trying...and trying.
Restoring your nandroid backup will not overwrite the new PRI, so you can get your phone back to the just the way you like it.
I'm not sure if there is a difference or just a placebo. Web pages seem to load faster. Some pre and post speed tests might have been helpful but I didn't have the foresight to do that.
Edit:
You may be able do the same thing without wiping your phone. Not sure if the wiping is a necessary part or what yet.
Steps:
Dial ##3282#
Enter Edit Mode
Enter your MSL
Select Data Profile
Menu
Restore
Let Phone Reboot, and Wait and the Hands Free Activation will Start.
Repeat until you have an updated PRI.

If I was rooted I could do that... I do not know my MSL code as it requires root access to gain. Unless there is a new root method to 2.3.3 that I am not aware of.. that will not work for us.

Just do an online chat and they will give it to you. I tried the ##3282# method last night, no go.
Also my speeds are consistently below 250 kbps since having my old one replaced.

With a post like that you should not care what PRI you have. You simply read a post and see that it says call "Sprint" You would need root to use an MSL reader from the market, but I don't believe this was ever mentioned. To do a full reset with the ## codes and the MSL you would not need ROOT.
Simply put if you are inquiring about the PRI or looking for a root method for an OTA 2.3.3 you must have not have used the search button.

Did you read any of this thread before making your post? I really don't care what PRI I have, I was merely commenting on a post of someone else who also just got a refurb like myself with the older PRI version that should have been updated when the EVO software was updated to 4.22.651.2. I then proceeded to ask what the disadvantage was about having a 1.90_003 PRI, which no one responded to. I could care less if I root my phone or not, but the instructions you provided clearly indicated root was required considering it says to do a nandroid backup. I understand that sometimes Sprint will give you the MSL code, but in my case so far they have not been willing to do so. I would like to have the most recent version of whatever is available for my phone. Thanks.

If they did not supply it to you then you went around it the wrong way. Try, "Mr. Sprint agent I recently updated to the OTA 2.3 and have been experiencing some issues. I believe that I may be able to correct them myself with a full reset. I have done some of the software resets in the OS itself by going to settings/SD & phone storage/ Factory data reset. And I am still not grabbing a good signal. I have updated my profile and PRL in the System updates but think I should do a full reset using the # codes. The only problem is I need my MSL. Would you be able to supply this for me so I can manually reset and program my phone? This will hopefully resolve my issues and complete all my needs for this phone call."

I can see your confusion with referencing a "Nandroid" and thinking this means you have to be Rooted. You can do all of the # codes without being Rooted. You need Root for a "Nandroid", you are correct. I am throwing out all of the actions in one step so this could apply to a rooted or non rooted users in some fashion. I usually always supply too much information rather than too little, so again I hope that clears up the confusions.
I myself am currently stuck on 2.3.3 build 4.24.651.1 and am waiting for what everyone else is that is stock.
I am using the Jiminy V Rom on Cricket
I am unable to OTA or make calls on the Cricket network. when I try and make a call I get 'Unauthorized' and when I try to OTA (*228) the system says 'unable' at the very beginning. I have done many EVO's to cricket before, and I have checked and double checked all my PST settings, my MEID/MIN/MDN/PRL particularly.
Even when OTA doesnt work , I can always get voice/text working on virtually any other phone by manually programming the MDN/MIN/Home SID & PRL.
My cricket home SID is 4923 & I am using PRL 32200
I have even loaded a working evo's PST settings into this phone (via QPST, read from one phone, write to another), and get same results even after making sure the MDN/MIN & MEID are correct.
The symptoms are exactly the same as if my MEID is not in the cricket system, yet I have triple checked them (and I had someone else program another phone with my MEID and that phone OTA'd and made calls on Cricket with no problem).
Some other data for consideration Android 2.1, build Baseband 2.15.00……007.25 kernel 2.6., Radio 2.05.00.06.10, HBOOT 0.79.0000 SHIP S-OFF
I have also tried factory builds 2.2 (3.26.651.6) and 2.1, (Baseband 2.05.00.06.10,Build 1.41.651.1) with same result. Note: they did not change the PST.
Is there a factory build which will put everything back to Sprint or should I consider updating the HBoot and /or Radio?, I assume the programming for the OTA is done in the Radio?
I am stumped.
Bump, If anybody can help me with this, its been driving me up the wall for two weeks now.,
Have you tried flashing an RUU and updating everything from there? If it isn't the MEID then it might just be your phone having a glitch. Flash it using RUU and let me know.
how do you reset PST/NAM (SPC,MIN,MDN, Etc) to factory?
I have tried RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe , hboot goes from 0.92 to 0.79, radio from 2.15 to 1.39.00.04.26, and android from 2.2 to 2.1.
But the pst/nam settings remain unchanged, mdn,min, sip, nai, etc are all cricket. even the SPC is still unlocked at 000000. ANd the S-OFF flag is off, Shouldnt the RUU's re-root the phone?
Is there an alternate way to run the RUU, I have tried putting the phone in HBOOT usb mode, then run the RUU but with three different batteries it tells me they are too low (under 30%).
Should I be in Hboot mode to run RUU? (I have been running it from the PC with the phone booted up.
To answer a couple of my own questions, none of the RUU's reset the EPST whether they where loaded from the PC via the .exe method or from the SD card PB31IMG method.
I found a reference to ##786# and found that yes that does reset the EPST (including the SPC) back to factory.
So I figured maybe the problem would be solved, so I updated PST for cricket (MDN,MIN,SID,PRL) and tried again, still no OTA and still 'Unauthoriized; when I try to make calls.
I am starting to believe I have a hardware problem, but how can most of the phone work and yet it have (apparently) problems transmitting MEID?
Seems like no interest here or everybody stumped. I am willing to pay some one to help me resolve this. contact to my email or post here, I will certainly let the forum know when I resolve this. Thanks

Your problem has different symptoms from mine (the threadstarter), it sounds like your prl is incorrect. If you have a correct prl & sid (these can vary for the market you are in , in Phoenix the SID is 4923 and I use the old nationwide non EVDO PRL of 1040) when you dial 611 you will get Cricket, regardless of your ESN/MEID being registered with Cricket, if this doesnt work do not go further. Find a PRL/SID that works (sometimes changing CDMA connect from Auto to Home only can help) . Also make sure MNC/MNC are set to 310/0. Country code/Carrier I think.
Once you get 611 to connect to Cricket, *228 (OTA) will connect to cricket, if It disconnects you before the music starts playing and says 'Sorry....' it is most likely your MEID is not registered correctly with Cricket. In Phoenix *228 always works on EVo's as long as SID/PRL/MEID are correct,
The message you are getting about a credit card required means you are connnecting to some other carriers network (usually Verizon) which is transferring you to someplace to allow you to make a call even though you are
"not authorized" on the network. Go back and check 611 & *228.*228 will load the correct prl for your area and rate plan, check after it runs to see what was loaded. It will also most likely overwrite EVDO settings including MIP, Sip, NAI, etc.
At this point your phone should work, talk & text.
I had the same problem and I look all over. I wanted to unroot and remove jimmy v rom. I was think that if i update to the new update that it will fix it self and i was right. First I had to remove the jimmy v rom, so i got ruu to update the htboot and that let me update to the new 2.3.3. It fix it self and f***ing A.

Can you be more specificwhat you loaded and what versions of hboot where involved? I downgraded to 2.1 (with RUU) and hboot .79 and it did not resolve problem.
Mu Verizon contract is up on the 28th and I'm going to flash and switch to PagePlus.
My question is this; After the flash, can I install CM7 or CM9? I was told by a flasher that this was not possible.
Hi, I'm a Page Plus customer, dinc user, and a recovering ROM flashing addict.
First off, what are you 'flashing' to switch to Page Plus? You just need to dial *22890 to program it, after the ESN is activated on Page Plus.
And really, you can flash whatever ROM you want. If it works on Verizon, it'll work on Page Plus. Of course the usual rules about being rooted, etc. apply... I've used MIUI gb, MIUI ics, AOKP ics, Evervolv ics, and am currently running Ice Cream Senseless because I got tired of the camera issues on the ics roms.
The only thing you need to remember is that you need to use Page Plus's codes when doing OTA programming and PRL updates. It's *22890 to program/activate the phone on Page Plus, and *22891 to update the PRL.
Happy flashing!
Many thanks
Thank you.!!!
Phone flashing
I know this is really late but hopefully it will help others.
When you get your phone flashed you will more then likely have to be on a stock rom. This is from experience as I am a Page Plus dealer. Many roms do not support either the codes, or the drivers to allow your phones modem to connect with a pc to allow flashing.
Once your flashed to the carrier, you can use whatever rom you want. Keep in mind though that depending on what rom you use, they may access the raidos diffrently and your 3g data may or may not work. You may have to use a stock rom of try several roms before you find a reliable one.
Just a heads up in case someone didnt know, before you switch carriers and get all pissed with support.....aka someone like me.
If I am wrong about this please correct me and teach me a new way because I would really like to be able to flash more cm9 phones with out reverting them to stock first. ( just to save time. ) So far the major culprit are motorola phones.

Well that should have been expected!
So I have what may be an obvious question, but it's not one which I have run into before. (my previous device was a Droid 2 which used a fairly generic boot loader)
I got my phone used off Ebay about 3 weeks ago. When I did, I assumed it was a stock Dinc, and so collected everything that I would need to mod it. Low and behold when it arrived and I charged it up, it had already been rooted, S-offed, and had CWM on it (the auction had not mentioned it being a rooted phone) So it took a sum total of five minutes to flash a new rom in.
Now, on further digging around, I find it has an old radio on it, (2.15.00.07.28) and also still has the old owner's phone number in it. Now, a few forum posts I have read in the past few weeks have indicated that installing a newer radio rom may improve some of the functions such as the light metering of the camera... but I have also seen that doing so may bork the S-off as this is stored in the radio rom?
What effect would it have if I put a radio rom on this already rooted and now rommed phone (Albinoman's JBb3). Should I just do it, or should I return the phone to totally stock prior to upgrading the radio software? And also, is there a way to erase the old owner's phone number from the My Phone Number field since this is now a wifi-only device and i'd rather the OS not send that info out when it's not correct.
Or am I just completely off base and don't need to worry about the radio at all?
Thanks for any help in advance!
You dont have to return to stock to flash the radio.
With radios I think it depends on your area. One radio that works great for someone may be terrible for someone else. The general consensus is that updated/newer software would improve the experience but I think with radios it varies. If you do change the radio make a backup and check the md5. Latest dinc radio is in my SIG.

Changing your radio will not mess up s-off or anything else as long as you check the md5 and take the proper precautions. Also changing the radio will not help the camera or anything else besides your cell signal.
S-off is stored deeper than the radio, but tools like unrevoked use certain versions of radios to gain access to this setting and modify it.
No need to revert to stock, and there is NEVER a need to go s-on unless your selling the phone or sending it to HTC. I see so many people say they went s-on to fix some kind of issue, or to upgrade and then the phone messes up durring the proccess and it makes it much harder to fix.
You can remove the number by accessing epst. Dial ##778# hit edit mode and type six zeros as the password. Go to each menu option editing the info you dont want there. Replace numbers with an equal ammountvof zeros (147-237-9900 = 000-000-0000) When done hit menu and commit changes.

Thanks for the answers, that filled in a lot of blanks for me I Figured I didn't need to go S-on, but I didn't know if, like on my old Droid 2, there were certain situations where I'd have to revert to stock before flashing.
UPDATE, I flashed the radio yesterday to 2.15 with no problems. Got a tiny bump in my battery (which tells me the old radio was working harder than it had to)
##778# didn't work for me though, instead it rang up "welcome to verizon" and wanted me to wait to talk to an operator about placing my call.
also tried without the third hash, also tried ##3424 and ##775... all with variations on the same result; either my phone is not in service, or my phone number is inactive... none of them accessed the menu system.
::edit::
I also tried variations on #program# and #data# with no luck,and tried turning off all the radios I could get at.
Any further ideas or steps I may be missing would be greatly appreciated. I also put in an ask over on the rom forum.

Have you tried *#*#data#*#* or *#*#program#*#*
Yeah, tried those as well... but got my answer, apparently only Sense-based Roms can use ESPT, and since I'm running Albinoman's JB rom, no go for me unless I flash over to a sense-rom, make the changes, then flash back. Might be a project for tomorrow while the laundry is going... or perhaps I'll wait for beta four of the JB Rom, flash to sense, do the tweak, then flash to the new beta.
but I'm getting there. in the last week I have inserted new kernels, new radios, And troubleshot this problem, plus dialed in my Nova interface tighter and tighter, in addition to the font toying and so on I've been doing. who knows, sooner or later I might even try to compile something.
thanks for the assist though. Is much appreciated.
well, at the end of the day, I never did get EPST working. I tried several different sense roms, tried installing the APK and pushing it from ADK, the closest I got was to punch in ##788# and it would say "loading requested resource" and then, nothing.
so now I'm on to Release Candidate #2 of Albinoman's 4.1 Rom and will come back to the phone number issue later.
