[Q] Brand new HTC EVO-Flashed to Cricket, rooted by paid "Expert",still no 3g

[Q] Brand new HTC EVO-Flashed to Cricket, rooted by paid "Expert",still no 3g
Hello and thank you for this forum.
I decided to buy an HTC EVO after seeing some ads on my local craigs list about thethering (wifi hotspot) on Cricket service.
I decided to buy a brand new phone unpacked with a clean esn.
Hired a pro to flash it to cricket, and then found out I would also need to root it afterwards. This guy did not offer rooting.
So found a second pro to root it and after I paid him, discovered the wifi hotspot does not work. His answer to me was search the web to learn how to use it. Great.
So while trying to figure out how to use the wifi hotspot, found out how to load htcsync from the phone to my pc. Never did figure how to fix the wifi hotspot and now, the 3g quit working all together.
Of course, these experts have my money and wont return my calls.
Sad story over....

I guess my first question is what does this phone information tell you? I have been reading the net and watching videos for a week now (when I have time) and am so confused and afraid I am going to ruin this new phone. Looks like the OS has been reverted from 2.2 to 2.1? I am guessing Bugless Beast is the ROM? Where should I begin to fix this phone myself? Thank you.

Anyone please?

Been there ... Done that

The Wifi only is MZ604 or sometimes referred to as Wingray. Here is a link to rooting:

And here is a link to unlocking and flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11598889

Thanks for that, Ive just got to sort out how to set up adb, No idea on it..
the way it seems, The Xoom is much harder to root & install custom roms on than the Optimus 3d, SGS and the SGS2

Ok so im following this guide,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798
and have installed drivers and adb and all that stuff,
When i double click on fastboot, It pops up for about a second then goes away?
Not exactly sure what to do
Edit: Nevermind got it

[Q] Help with Installing ICS on I9020

Hi everybody,
I'v got a Nexus S with original ROM (no custom ROMs), now running android version number 2.3.6.
I don't get ICS update, and after waiting for a long time, decided to do it manually. I have two questions:
1. Is the update stable for normal use.
2. How do I do the update? Where I find the update file? is there a good and simple guide?
My device details are:
- Nexus S
- Android version: 2.3.6
- Baseband version: I9020XXKF1
- Build number: GRK39F
- The phone was bought at BestBuy in the US, as a SIM free device.
Tnax for any help.
Dodo.

Which carrier are you on? Your device is most likely i9020T if you bought it at bestbuy. You can find the update.zip in THIS THREAD, and as far as install instructions, the video below is pretty good. (just skip to 1:40 and go from there) also keep in mind:
-the video says you need T-mobile nexus s. You don't. as long as you have the i9020T your good.
-The .zip file will have a different name than the one in the video.
So, go to the thread above, and scroll down to "FULL ROMS-FLASHABLE ROMS" and click on "Android 4.0.3/IML74K/XXKI1 Radio/KL1 Bootloader" It should start downloading right away. after that, just follow the steps in the video.

I believe you are using the same phone as me...I am on FIDO in Vancouver Canada. I am using the CyberGR MOD V.7 which can be found in android development section. Extremely Stable i.e no issues at all..with everything working. You gotta jump the ship..do it do it...

Are you rooted?

I'm assuming, since the OP doesn't know how to flash a ROM, that he is NOT rooted...

[Q] noob needs help getting the Atrix 2 usable.

i have been using my inspire 4g for few years now with the stock 2.3.3 w/o any problem until i accepted the update notification from at&t for 2.3.5 which i hate now. Long story short, it just made my exchange email crap and it became a burden. I do not know anything about rooting so bought a used Atrix 2 hoping to have ICS on it.
But the phone came withe the following:
Android Version: 2.3.5
System Version: 55.11.11.MB865.ATT.en.US
Build Number: 5.5.1-175_EDFFW1-11
As soon as I power on, the setup screen comes in where I enter my google details and it takes me to home screen and all is well. But when I click the 'Contacts' icon, it takes me to AT&T address book directly and starts rotating endlessly. Never give me an option to disable AT&T address book in contacts. It goes directly there and never completes even though I have data and wifi enabled. I tried at&t support as i don't have at&t phonebook registered - they asked me to upgrade to ICS.
Then I tried the OTA ICS upgrade and it always says the 'The device is upto date and no software upgrade is necessary'. It never upgrades the OS. At this point, at&t said they can't do anything and asked me to talk to Motorola. Motorola said this phone is running a version that is not supported so they can't help either. I have been googling and reading a lot of posts in this forum for help without much success.
I did check out the following and asked for help there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2047087&page=2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779968&page=69
Can someone please point me a thread or give me steps i need to follow to get this phone out of stock and working condition?
I am also working on getting my inspire out of stock OS but would love to get this phone fixed first.
Thanks in advance.

If you want to get the official ICS then here is the fxz for AT&T US phones (if you are somewhere else or using a different carrier, then you probably don't want this and need to supply more info.)
A couple of things to note. Once you upgrade to the official ICS there is NO going back to Gingerbread (unless someone hacked something together and I missed it), but it's best to assume you won't. Make backups before you do anything, better safe than sorry. If you don't like not having an option to revert to Gingerbread, then there are other options, but not the one mentioned.
If all is good and you want to flash the Official ICS, then you can visit the noob guide which will tell you how to flash a FXZ and what is needed.

Thank you. I really don't like the idea of not going back to Gingerbread but at this time my priority is to get this atrix 2 up and running. So am ok to get the official ics but the following says i should go to 2.3.6 in order to get to ics. Is that still true for the link you provided?

The link you posted is for ICS Leak#1, that will get you on ICS and as long as you're on Leak #1 only, you can revert to Gingerbread by using a specific FXZ from the link you posted. Your choice. The Official ICS that I posted has everything and will overwrite everything, so whether you flash from 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 it's going to upgrade the bootloader and system. Just remember, if you use the Offical ICS, then no more Gingerbread. Personally, I haven't wanted or needed Gingerbread since I got ICS.

Dear jsknair.
You can directly flash with OTA ICS update, no need to go to 2.3.4 then update to 2.3.6 the OTA ICS.
I very easy as other guy said study noob guide. After that within 10 min you will be on ICS and its really good you don't think to go back to GB.
I like to thanks Jimbirdman :thumbup:to help me for update my Atrix 2.
