OK so I did something stupid...I bought an HTC Evo 3d from someone on Craigslist. The phone was rooted and worked fine. (please understand that I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and still really don't). I tried to get it flashed to Page Plus and the upshot is that now the phone is stuck with a red light, an occasional HTC white screen and if I'm really lucky I get the screen with the ClockMod stuff. Can you wise ones walk my dumb ass through recovering this phone and if not, advise me on how to get it fixed? I think I deleted whatever ROM was on it and now it has no operating system. Thanks in advance for your help and let the chastisement begin!

Fortunately we have a specific forum for your device on xda: HTC EVO 3D.
So best place to ask for help is here: HTC EVO 3D > EVO 3D Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
There you should get quick and proper help.

Well not really, you just told him to forget the phone he's got and go out for another one that already has android.
If he didn't want the HD2 he wouldn't have bought it, not helpful.
Apologies to the original poster as I'm unable to help, treat this message as a bump.
Hey guys, I'm probably upgrading from my HTC Hero soon and I'm thinking about getting a transform due to not having 4G coverage where I live and I don't wanna pay $10 extra for something I can't have. Is there anyone out there developing Rims for the Transform? I would like to have the front facing camera that it offers and be able to video chat with it, as it isn't possible to do right now for whatever reason. I'm sure with some developing, the video chat would be possible. And I'm sure its 800mhz processor is overclockable to at least 1ghz.
Anybody got any info on this? Thanks y'all.

Unless you buy your new phone in the next 5 days any smartphone will have the $10 charge regardless of 4g coverage.
So maybe that would widen your selection, evo shift

Lol if anything, I think I'm gonna go with an Evo considering its been out a while, plenty of Rims have already been developed and its got video chat. the shift seems pretty sweet, everything about it, except there's no frontfacing camera :[ that is a must on my list for my next phone lol

bricked my transform, need help please...
i tried to upgrade to another rom, & accidently left the m900 in binary folder,
is there a way to fix, as you can tell i`m a novice, so please explain step
by step, i was using swupgrader, & had already updated to froyo 2.2.2
now my screen stays black & it vibrates sometimes, but thats all
any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
I have a friend who has a bricked Legend, and I have said that I will attempt to install a updated ROM for her.....
Problem is, although I have done this a few times with MY LG GT540, I have done nothing with HTC.
Could anyone point me in the right direction for a guide to updating the Legend to the latest ROM, including any downloads that I'd need.
Thanks very much,
Mango
I would start with the sticky at the top of THIS page.
Good luck.
Thanks Dirk (Love the name, by the way!)
But looking through that it's very difficult to get a sense of what I'll need to do, and in what order.....
The LG is pretty easy, as you have a KDZ installer......But on that stickie it seems a bit random!
Right....having now got the Legend in front of me, I need to know what to do!
It seems to be having a software glitch on the previous update.....Cannot get in to see which update it was, and my friend has no idea either.
She had sent it back to V'phone, and also HTC to get them to do something, but they keep fobbing her off.
I said I'd have a look, but it really doesn't seem as straight forward as LG!
Are you ever able to boot into a working OS (doesn't sound like it), or does it crash out before loading the desktop?
What sort of errors or faults are we dealing with here basically?
Basically, it starts up.....
It loads up the OS, but from there, it can take anything from 2-5mins to freeze up.
The notifications bar will not pull down, and then, when it does it sticks.
I've said that she probably needs it to be re-installed.....(Hopefully with a newer version).
Vodaphone and HTC have both been useless for her. I woulda thpought HTC would've just flashed it and be done....but no!
So I thought I'd come searching on here! But the sticky doesn't help me that much! I'm from the LG forum, where everything is set out in !idiot guides"!!
I do work in IT, so I am pretty competent, but haven't touched an HTC before!
Thanks for your replies
Right....Done a factory reset, and when the Legend comes on, it is completely unresponsive.
Plus, the screen image shakes from side to side, in a quite violent manner!
It would appear that I can move the screen without even touching it!
Any help is gratefully received!!
Sounds like a hardware issue then. If you were able to factory reset without any improvement at all i'd say that software problems are pretty much ruled out.
If i were you i would have a good rant at Vodafone until they agree to swap the unit with a working model.
Thanks again, Dirk....
I have emailed her to let her know your thoughts!.
Long, dark tea-time awaits
Always a pleasure to speak with a fellow fan
Good luck with the phone. Vodafone have always caved in when i've kicked up a stink about various faults etc so i hope your friend gets a result.
Apparently, she has already been intouch with both HTC and V'phone....and neither are prepared to do anything about it.....
Still worth a screaming match with them???
On an unrelated point..... Did you see Steven Mangan as Dirk? Was disappointed that the book was so thoroughly mashed, but was still entertaining!
Hi,
I'm fed up with all the bugs returning in my Sensation.
Recently I even found dust underneath the screen.
I'm thinking of selling my sensation and getting an other device.
Is this a good idea? Which one works as designed? Is the DHD a good bet?
I'm afraid if I keep the Sensation or even let it repair for dust under the screen, the bugs will keep coming and the dust will keep returning under the screen.
If you take the cover of the sensation it's full of dust, even though I keep my phone in a cover at all times and never let it sit in my pocket if I'm at home or at work. Has anyone yet returned there sensation for a repair? Results?
Cheers

Hi, there is already a few threads discussing the dust & repair options. Secondly this should be posted in the Q&A section.
Regards.
Go for Incredible S if you need HTC Sense.
It is better snappier and an awesome screen compared to washed out screens in DHD and Sensation(A lil better than DHD).
Or
SGSII - If you don't look for HTC Sense.
Sorry about the wrong category. (maybe a mod can move this)
I don't wanna talk about the dust, i wanna talk about the alternatives, what you guys think.
That's good advice, rselva_kr, is it safe to assume the incredible doensn't have many of those bugs? Is it a more sturdy phone?

Almost no bugs at all with stock GB ROM. I have one in use with my wife now, which i used for a while. Also, a better battery than DHD and good battery life. Front facing CAM also there. It have already been SOFFed and custom ROMs also there if you wish.
Its the best device so far from HTC in all aspects as per my opinion. Provided i have used all the recent HTC & other popular devices like LG O2X, SGSII, Sensation, Desire HD, HD2, HD, Motorola Atrix .....
Dude I'm so sick of seeing theese kind of useless posts in this forum .....if your not happy and want to downgrade then go ahead ,its not a question we can answer ,only you can make yourself happy,I wouldn't return my sensation for any phone right now

I know that i'm not happy with the phone.
And i know that i want to downgrade.
However, I don't want to swap the phone for another phone which won't do htc justice.
That's where i need the advice of others. I'm sorry if this kind of post annoys you, but so far it has helped me.

Well in that case I would go into the forums of the phones I was considering and ask questions there. You'll probably get more accurate answers from people who use the phones every day than in a forum for a different phone
Ok, so i bought a LG Mytouch Q Slide off line...I thought it was the the HTC Mytouch 4g...badly mistaken!!
So this phone is as slow as they come, I am wanting to root it and put a custom rom on it but I cannot find ANY info on this phone at all. There is all sorts of stuff on the HTC mytouch slide but nothing on the LG brand.
So basically I just am curious to opinions on what ROM I could get for this phone that is stable and fast! lol
Or if you could point me in the right direction. I went thru the entire list of phones on the brand page forums and mine isnt even listed. Surely it is not the same as the HTC is it?
Thanks in advance guys for any help and or advice!
