[q] showcase help please!

ok, so i rooted my showcase from element mobile using SuperOneClick, worked, then i put CWM on my showcase using Odin and that worked. but when i tried putting VOODOO on my showcase i couldnt get the link in the thread to open so i went to the project-voodoo.org website and took their 5.5 Froyo off the top of the list and again used Odin and it said it worked. But now when i try to turn on my showcase it tells me it is an I9000 instead of an I500 and the bootlogo gets a half second in then freezes. i cant even get to the red recovery list, it gives me the stock blue one... i really dont want to buy a new phone so please anybody help?

Uh oh...
You may have just learned the hard lesson of flashing things not built for your phone/provider. I have never seen anyone with that provider on here so I doubt anyone has a restore for it. Don't give up yet but it's not looking good.

yeah, ive been looking everywhere for something to get me back to froyo or anywhere working for that matter but this is killin me right now.

These cell providers are going to have to start naming there phones something other than showcase. I've been looking on the web and all I can find is cell south and ntelos. Sorry, hopefully the more experienced guys on here can come up with something.

i wish i could just reset everything...

Unfortunately without the stock files it will be almost impossible to "reset" the phone back to its original state. If you have a friend in your providers local office I would suggest cashing in a favor. There is still a possibility one of the XDA guru's may run across something so try and hang in there if ya can. One question. Is this prepaid or contract? When searching other forums there are some labeled prepaid and such and I personally have never heard of this provider.

If you have insurance you could always "lose" it and only have to pay the $100. Maybe not ethical but to each his own.

^ I've had to do that when I was with cingular.
Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize

that was the plan till i forgot i didnt have insurance on it... i put insurance on all my phones but i have no idea why i didnt for this one. im wondering if i can get her to send me the stock files through email and tell her i know how to do all that so then the dev gods on here have them

If you did get the stock ROM and kernel files then that would work. Problem may be that those files are normally quite large so emailing them may not be possible. But that's deffinately an idea. I would first see if they will fix the phone for ya. Then if you can get the files that's just a bonus at that point.

Did you admit to rooting it?

only after the manager said even if i rooted it they would do what they could cuz he has three rooted phones and showed me one. he tried to look up stuff for me to do but he said the I500 is rare and there isnt much on Element mobile or the Showcase to help on fourms

Do they not have techs? A tech should have the software to restore it back to stock.

Verizon store and my phone

I went into the verizon store today to get a case for the TB and the sales associate looked at my phone and was like whoaaaaa, this phone is fast. He looked at it again and started to ask about the phone. First thing I asked was if I tell you, will it void my warranty. He was like nope we flash our phones too. He took it to another associate and they were intrigued about the lock screen and the speed. He asked what ROM was on it. i told him it was a new ROM supposedly based off of the official GB build. The guy was like he needed to find this build fast. It's a shame that the verizon personnel thinks some of the software that was released on the the TB is crap.

i traded by Incredible 2 for a Thunderbolt from someone on these forums. The Thunderbolt had Das BAMF 4.9 on it and I had to take it to verizon to get a new SIM card(+ had them register the phone to my account so i didn't have to). the sales associate was all "i've never seen a rooted Thunderbolt before" and was playing around with it excitedly.

so he seen you playing with it or he was installing the case?

Lol so funny story about verizon, I work at best buy so of course I never deal with verizon. I went into the verizon store by our best buy when the tbolt first came out to play with it. I opened up the boot loader and put it into recovery mode just so they had to activate the alarm and do a battery pull. True story.

funny story. what rom where you using?
I called verizon customer service because i was having issues
w/ not getting 3g lol. I could get 4g but if i turned it off i'd be
stuck on 1x.
we talked for awhile troubleshooting and then she wanted me to
check my software info and read it off to her. radio... ok
prl...ok software number.... (me) " uhh i'm getting a real bad
connection i'm going to have to call back" haha at the time I was
running a bamf remix rom. come to find out when i got home..
i had my radio toggled to cdma only and not cdma auto haha.

Something similar happened when I went with my girlfriend to have my old dInc activated on her account. The guy knew I'd rooted it, but I didn't let him touch it because I didn't really feel like letting him see "Wireless Tether" on there. So I clean it up and we go in there. The guy is shuffling through menus and just blurts out "This is the fastest Incredible I've ever seen!", completely forgotten it was rooted and OC'd. The big ****-eating grin on my face reminded him it was rooted. He got real confused over the 4G settings on the dInc too. (Sprint EVO based ROM) Showed him the Tbolt the day after I bought it and rooted it and he showed it to the manager. The manager had lots of questions... but none of them to do with my account or warranties or contract terms, thankfully. Verizon staff really do look at rooted phones like pink unicorns in many cases. It's good entertainment if you're bored while your wife/girlfriend is shopping.

No, he is saying they know what rom you are running. This shows on their system. As for rooted, not so much.

Your not calling verizon anyways your calling a calling center or tellamarketers, you think they really care what people do with their phone's.

showing that even 13 year olds (or those that didnt pass the maturity of being 13) are welcomed on xda?

I can tell you right now after managing a Verizon store for 3 years employees most likely will not even know if your phone is rooted and if they do that means they have probably rooted their phone as well. I'll be the first to say that I think its BS they load all the crapware onto these devices. Just don't let them know its rooted if you are trying to get a replacement of course. That's about the only time the will care.

Every time I have gone into our Verizon store in Florence, KY, the techs/reps and I usually get into conversations about the ROMs and/or hacks we use on our phones and rooting and stuff. Its nice knowing my store has intelligent people working in them, even if they aren't managed by them at the corporate offices. I can't stand dealing with sales people that have no flippin clue about the products they sell. *cough* radio shack *cough*

Help with borked wallet

No matter what i do, rom i flash, partition i wipe.... wallet force closes and does not work. i am using the nexus 4g. even if i unroot and roll back to 2.3.4 wipe everything multiple ways, accept ota updates just like i did before, wallet fails.
so ive rooted and unrooted before 2.3.7, took the ota and everything was dandy.
all i did was root a few days later and it was done. i am convinced there is some data on the nfc chip just like data was being saved on the gps when switching certain evo roms. Why would simply rooting the phone break wallet when sooo many people are running it rooted? almost wanna take it to sprint....

You need the ke1 radio for it to work on 2.3.7 without hacking it on there

suggestions anyone?
tried taking it to sprint but didnt have time to stick around and wait a few hours....

Same thing happened to me, I called google wallet support they blamed it on me unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom rom. Basically you're sol unless you can swap it out at sprint. as far as I know. Google isn't responding to this issue.

Also, make sure you're copying the 2.3.7 versions of:
com.android.nfc_extras.jar > system/framework
com.google.android.nfc_extras.xml > system/etc/permissions.
If you know how to sign APKs, make sure Wallet and Nfc have the same signature. If you don't know how, copy over Nfc as well to system/app and wipe cache either way.
Hope that works. Good luck.

Returned the phone to sprint overnight. Wow. The sales people and techs there are completely clueless. Oh well. After me schooling them on everything, they decided to give me a new phone. It will be shipped in a few days.

Probably refurbished. From what I understand these phone go through more tests than new phones and still look new. I'm fine with that. If the phone continues to fail (which I doubt) then I can get a new phone.

So I got a new phone from sprint. Interesting I had to set up a new Google prepaid card. Got another 10 bucks...

The key is to flash the wallet fix rite on top of the rom you flash. In the same recovery session. Works everytime.

[Q] tethering and my htc and att?

Hello, can someone help me with something. I rooted my htc inspire a few months back. I did not change the room just left it as is. I am now trying to tethering my accer a500 to my htc inspire. I have tried the hot spot and also tried to hook cable to tablet from phone. when i try hot spot it turns on then turns off says i need to call att.
I am wondering do i have to flash phone with a differnet rom inorder to use those functions. or is their a way around the issue. Sorry for my lack of knowing lol. i am looking but I have not found a newbie guid covering this. I am asuming i do need to flash phone with custom rom but wanted to make sure.

update
I guess should of added more info. I have rooted my phone a long while back. I did not flash a custom Rom to my phone. I am running the Rom the phone came with just rooted. Thanks again for any help someone will be able to give. I am still reading the fourms just guess not understanding. From what I am getting if I want hot spot to work or tethering to work I need to flash my phone with a custom Rom.

a 30second search of putting 'free tether htc inspire' into google would have given you the answer you need. This has been asked over and over and over. You are technically breaching your agreement and if you get caught that is on you. Here is a link in the market for a simple to use app. Next time please search before making threads.

ok
Lol sorry but you really think I didn't do that like a month ago. Really I have read and re-read every topic even close to covering this topic. One topic saying yes you can the next saying it didn't work. Figured would find someone nice enough to say yes you can do it, and here is the topic area to look. Thank you for the link
Update, followed your link and it went no were. Google free tethering again and came up with the same thing. Someone saying they have a way to make it work. Then a bunch of posts after that with people saying it worked for a bit but not now. I'm just looking to see if it can be done, what has and has not worked and if I am right and I need a custom Rom.

I use EasyTether Pro, don't know if its safe, but I have been using it for almost 2 years on 2 different phones, and haven't been stuck with a higher bill yet

thanks for the info
Was wondering do you guys use the cable, or set up a WiFi way. I don't plan on doing any downloading I use a program that looks up info for me on the net. Maybe some Facebook on the night ****. Once again thanks for the help with this very cool.

I dont have to DD an app to use hotspot because my dev built it in, which most roms do... but if you must stick with your stock rom... (thumbs down)
I used "open garden" wifi tether on a few different phones requiring that functionality. Its one of the best out there IMHO
P.S. If you like the stock feel and stability? of your stock rom, but are ready to open your phone up to a brand new life...
My suggestion for a jump off point(ROM) is 'COREDROID'! I dont rock it anymore, but it was imo the best, next very close runner up would be 'AndroidRevolution'...
Both of those have built in hotspot, plus a WAYYY faster UI than stock. Just My Opinion. good luck!

I have never tried to tether using stock rom, however almost all custom roms I have used have the ability to tether. Maybe try a custom rom, I like IceColdSandwich v 4.2. Good luck!

Thank u very much that was what I was really looking for. I will start looking for custom Rom that might work for me. I really need to learn how to back up the Rom I have so I can save it so I can flash it back to phone if need be. Thanks again all for all the help with this.

Start by looking for a recovery like "cwm recovery"... within the Inspire forums. Follow the directions exactly and read them ALL first, then reread them before flashing. Once youve achieved a recovery, you'll have opened yourself up to try ROMS i.e.Try coredroid for a few days then perform a backup of coredroid, then flash AR and run that for a few days.
As it seems in your OP, youre kinda used to a stock ROM and both of those are based on stock, with enhancements, and bloatware removed... MUCH FASTER and responsive.
So just start with one thing at a time - Recovery Time!!!
p.s. once youve installed your recovery, you should backup your current config before going to the next step - ROM!!! Practice good backup skills, and you'll limit your headaches considerably.

hello, thank you all for your replies. I am really wanting to move up to custom roms. Prob is I do not know how to back up my current rom, and how to check it to make sure its good. I am looking for the info and what app to use to get the best back up file. i want to be sure I know how to back up and also how to go back to the back up if need be before I move forward. If someone knows of a guide to do that stuff or has any good information could you pm me please. thanks a bunch for the help.

I used the EasyTether app a few times around last Christmas. Today I got the email from AT&T about tethering. So I guess now we can't use EasyTether?

I went to my local store yesterday and had a rep examine my phone to be sure there was no way I could tether. She noted it in my account. Today I got a txt msg saying I was tethering. So I called the 866 number in the msg and the phone rep told me they can now tell any time a computer or any other device is plugged into the phone and any time a tethering app is used. So according to her logic, we can't even use our computers to charge our phones.

Sucks for EasyTether and PDANet users

This seems a good place to ask. Of course, the ref with whom I spoke claims that their system is flawless, but is there anyone here who kows AT&Ts systems that can speak as to the reliability of their inspection system?
The reason I ask, I was informed that "the data connection from your phone was opened to another device several times within the past 2 months." I used it once, I'm afraid that something looks like tethering to their system, and I'll end up with a more expensive capped plan rather than my unlimited plan (truth is that I've only gone over 3 GB once of which I'm aware, I just don't like the concept of caps.... or more cost).

I finaly put a custom rom on my phone and was able to hotspot and tether my phone to my laptop. Only used it to load one page of xda just to see if it worked or not. I never got a text meassage or phone call or anything. I also use a bunch of bandwidth on a daily bases. e-mail, web games and such. I had to re-lock my phone sending it to htc to get repaired, when i get it back it will be re rooted and custom rom and tethered again. Will let you know what happens then. lol

They will constantly improve the system. the more people that find ways around it the more they will invest in closing the holes. they didnt used to have the ability to see but more and more is pointing to packet inspection and TTL's on them to see if theres another device behind the phone. it's not just an apn setting anymore. it's best either to not tether and breach contract or just pay the $15 a month and use it. Getting around it now, could change next week or a month or tomorrow. companies will do what they can to protect their services from being taken advantage of, and with the number of users that are stealing tethering data, that is a considerable cost. do i think its fair that i need to pay $15 to connect my pc to phone for just a picture here and there, no, but the consumer always wants everything for free.

[Q] Htc Shift battery / device issue

I have an HTC Shift that is now a replacement phone Sprint sent because the other Shift bricked on a OTA update. The phone itself looks brand new. (we have had it since Apriil) The problem with the phone is that it will never charge the battery. I actually have 3 spare batteries so in total 4 batteries are charged to 100% but as soon as I put them into the Shift device the battery status will range from 0% to 8% an occassionally will charge to 12% but no higher. If I take the battery out and put it into another HTC it will show 95% or better as charged - to be clear this is the same battery that just seconds before registered 12% or less.
I've tried everything. I've changed Roms (the good thing about this is that I can tell you the ins and outs on about 12 different Roms and kernels now) I've changed up kernels. I installed Bettery Battery, battery calibration tools, spare parts...booted it up empty, let it stay off and "charge" all night, on and charge all night, factory reset, everything but RUU because it just won't do it and HTC update, won't do that either because of the battery being below 30%.
OK, so you say - take it back to Sprint and get a new one - can't do that because I can't unroot it with the RUU as it still shows s-off -
I'm brain dead on this one.
I'm not a newbie at this. I've rooted several phones, HTC, LG, Palm Pre, even turned the Palm Pixie to a wifi goddess in it's day by switching out the radio(you know). I've jailbroke the Iphone and Ipad. Rooted my Thrive and turned a pandigital into a sweet little android.
I don't want to take the phone back like it is. I want to figure out what the heck is the issue. (i know...i know) When I plug the phone in the led comes on as though it is charging but it never charges...any ideas? you know it's probably something simple and I've just fried my brain at this point. Any ideas? Anybody??
Thanks in advance for any input, ideas or helpful tips!

Make sure you are wiping the system partition as well... Going from sense to aosp needs a thorough system (not data) wipe... To wipe system, it's located in mounts and storage in recovery if using cwm...

My girlfriend's phone has the EXACT SAME ISSUE. No idea how to fix, I figure there's a contact or sensor hw at fault. It's not ROM specific, flashing a new rom won't make a diff. As soon as the gf or I get a new phone, I'll mess with the device itself.
Best advice - return it!

How I got stuck was I was having like extremely poor service and was waiting on a call back from them, and through reading what people said about them never calling I thought I was safe, about 30 minutes after I flashed cm7 a rep called and wanted me to go into epst and at that time I was so new to being a rooted user I had no idea it wasn't in aosp. So I tried the ## code and when she asked what happened I said nothing she said ok hang on while I flag your account. My first words to the rep was are you fu**ing kidden me! So I stabbed back by tethering to my ps3 while playing Modern Warfare lol

So...unroot before taking. As it says, there's an issue with reading the battery correctly. It's charging the battery, because when it goes into another phone, it shows the correct percentage.
It -has- to be a hardware issue. Unroot, RUU, whatever... there isn't an easy fix for this without messing with the hardware (which will likely result in ruining the device).
If the flex cables were shot, you'd all recommend the same thing. What's the difference with this?

There is a newer and easier way to unroot HERE
