Hi,
I have had the system update popup for the past week, on my sprint evo 3d.
is this update avail somewhere here to download that is safe for my rooted phone?
also is there a rooted stock ROM that has this already? Sorry for the dumb questions, but there are so many different custom roms, it is hard to decide which is best for me. the only reason for root is to use the tether
thanks
My friend was having the same issue, I think it was because he manually rooted the phone without flashing a new ROM. Usually if you flash a custom ROM (even a stock replacement) then the system will automatically refuse OTA updates.
I really like Olympus Trinity Prime roms, they are very fast, it comes with the built in hotspot app unlocked

I have my Sprint Mogul, and Sprint service, and i am currently running the 2.16 ROM. I am deciding whether or not to upgrade to a custom ROM (if so which one) or to just do the update to the new stock ROM 2.17, or even to just wait for the new ROM with GPS and EVDO REV.A. So if someone could please help me in deciding cause I really don't know which one has more benefits. I want it to be able to run fast, with good RAM, but also to run well with my Sprint service, cause ive been looking at the custom roms and i see that some of them don't work to well with sprint. So to sum it all up, which is better, a custom Rom for my Sprint Mogul, with sprint service, or the stock 2.17 Rom, which I know will work with my sprint service well because it was made for it. Thanks
A custom rom if a good one like dcd's newest rom then it will be fine since it is based off of the sprint rom anyway and will just allow you to choose what you want to install but it is all up to your preference. If you don't like it you can always flash back can't hurt to try right i personally would never use stock rom again since dcd's actually works with sprint better ex no glitches

x2. The new DCD 1.6.7 is the best ROM I've run yet. You'll be pleased.
Does it fix the memory leak problem that is with the stocks? and does everything like MMS and Internet, and all the other sprint service based stuff work? and lastly about how much faster is it and how much free ram do you have? Thanks for all the help.
Memory leak is still present from my experience.
So how is it running better than the stock ROM (newest 2.17)? Is it alot faster? since for me, the only problem with my phone is the memory leak, other than that, it barley ever freezes or locks up, and i only soft reset it about once a week, just to get my memory back (although the device would be running fine without soft reseting, I just like doing it). I just want to know, if it would be worth it for me to have to reinstall all my programs and settings, for a ROM that is not that different. Thanks
also on stock rom right now. kinda scared to do the do the custom rom but I will this friday. I will let u know if the 5 meg page pool speeds it up nutz on chin style. my biggest issue right now is when I click to write a text message. the text message compose screen takes forever to load. a good 5 to 10 seconds. and when I press the msg button at top of phone. that also takes forever and I bout done with it
Definitely get off of 2.16, it was horrible. My phone has been a LOT more stable on 2.17.
And, the "memory leak" isn't really a memory leak, it's a feature. I've seen this repeated over and over again. It's caching to make the system feel faster. It only becomes a problem if you actually run out of memory.
Either these roms are very easy to update or I'm missing something.
I read through the Kitchen thread and the Rom thread for dcd. Very interesting thread although i could not find any form of instructions. I searched instructions and it provided a link to the unlocker.
So I'm guess you run the hard spl unlocker and then the dcd rom update and its that easy?

yes
eventually i will get instructions up..sorry
Well I have tried a few custom roms, made a few with the kitchen, and of coarse used the stock rom. I now find myself falling back on the stock rom because I feel it is the most stable for my use. I would recommend using a backup such as spb or something. That way if you ever jack up your mogul you can just do a hard reset and then restore it to how it was from the last backup. I really like what people have done with the custom roms, but I have just had a few minor issues that I do not have with the stock rom. Chad
By stock ROM, I am assuming you are using 2.17 right?
are running a custom ROM? My friend just called me & said he just got a phone call from 5print & they wanted him to download a file to update his OS. He did not do this yet because he is running a custom ROM & not sure if it will brick his phone or corrupt the OS. Any ideas?
anyone?....anyone?
Turns out they just wanted him to downgrade back to the older ROM, they also confirmed the new ROM will be out soon...so nothing new.
well assuming that his phone is hard-spl then he can flash whatever he wants. as long as its for his device he will be fine.
What is a five print ROM?
Also, if they come out with a five print ROM (heh) with rev A and GPS enabled will we be able to custom ROM it onto a five erizon phone?
Well here is the issue, I bought the HTC Thunderbolt awhile ago. I then rooted my phone but left the original ROM on it since the custom roms were not stable. I noticed verizon was pushing me some update and I just ignored them. I woke up today to see my phone rebooted with the screen on an exsclamation point. And then my Thunderbolt keeps rebooting itself now. I tried going into ROM Manager to download a Custom ROM but the phone just reboots before I can do it. I just installed Liquid Gingersense v1.6 rom with the MR2 OTA Radio which said it installed just fine after installing the Liquid Gingersense rom. I went through setting up the google account fine and after it booted to the main screen now my phone boots all over again, get stuck at htc screen for a bit then loads the phone fine then boots again. I am really not sure what the heck is going on. I am new to the MR2 OTA Radio since I cam from the Droid 1. So I hope it was not the install order I did it. I Have turned off the phone booted it with still same rebooting over and over issue. If anyone has idea's please let me know. Much appreciated. Thanks
I'm in the same boat. I have wiped the SD card and done a factory reset on the phone. It is no longer rooted, as I can't install and run apps requiring root permission. The update fails every time it tries to install, I also get the exclamation point android screen when the update tries to install. I'll take the update, I don't care. I just want a reliable phone again.
I'm seeing this issue come up a lot. Some of you folks seem pretty upset by it, and reasonably so. Search through the threads and you'll find you solution.
For those who are STILL running that antique and wildly obsolete ROM that the jcase rooting process leaves you with, I'd like to set a few facts before you. First of all, that ROM wasn't provided as a long-term daily driver. It's OLD and it's not very efficient with the battery. Second, simply because it's stock doesn't mean it's inherently stable. It's probably less stable than the custom ROMs out there. Third, the only ROMs really struggling with stability were the 2.01 RUU gingerbread builds. That build is obsolete, but not nearly as obsolete as the ROM that the rooting process leaves you with. The stability issues with the second OTA had nothing to do with the ROM, but rather, the radio that came with the RUU. In short, it's foolhardy to believe that custom ROMs are somehow inherently dangerous or unstable.
I'd like to suggest to whoever might be running the rooted ancient ROM the rooting process leaves you with to abandon it at your earliest convenience. Flash an MR2 radio, and if you like stock, use the stock rooted debloated ROM based on the 1.70 RUU. If you decide not to do this, and your phone auto-accepts the update, you'll probably lose everything on the phone trying to get it working again. Save yourself that hassle. Flashing ROMs isn't hard and people do it everyday.
Odd situation I have. I have a MZ604 Xoom which was rooted until I wanted to install HTK75D, and which point I screwed up the update and decided to do a completely fresh install starting from HWI69 and OTAing to the latest update. So I'm now running a completely stock MZ604, albeit with an unlocked boot loader, but 100% stock software. And for some reason a bunch of applications I did have installed while I was rooted are now no longer showing up in the Market. Through combination of talking to Google and a developer I've figured out that this is an issue with protected applications and a rooted device. However Google have now going into [somewhat typical] radio silence mode and the developers can't help me any further.
So my question is, why were protected applications no problem while I was rooted, but are now a problem since I've reverted to a non-rooted, non-custom stock ROM? And why will protected apps install on my unlocked, rooted, CM7 powered N1, but not on a stock Xoom that was once rooted?
I have no issue with installing protected apps. It's probably something inside of your stock rom, put there by the manufacturer. I noticed that my boyfriend's Thunderbolt has an app that blocks tethering on the stock rom, I think it's called "Tether Guard" or something. There's probably something similar on your phone, or something built in that interacts with the Market to prevent the downloads. I'm not sure, but that's my best guess.
Flashing a custom rom may fix the problem. You can also try to revert the Market to a previous version, it may only be the most recent version that blocks such downloads. If you find that to be the case, either freeze or remove Market Updater to keep it at the older version that works for you.
Again, this is all guesswork as I have never seen this problem and I have a different device/rom.

Hey everyone. I have a friend who has been attempting to root and install roms on his i777 device for a while now and every time it seems like something else gets screwy. I have an HTC so I know little about the process of working on his Samsung device, I thought it would be about the same but it seems way more complicated... Anyway I think all his problems started with a bad ROM he installed unknowingly when he first attempted to root his phone. And since then he has went to ICS then back to Gingerbread and it keeps getting more crazy. He has tried to do a factory reset on it but it fails half way through now so it wont even let him pull that off.
So my two questions are:
1) What is the best way to get this phone completely cleared up?
2) And what is a good/dependable Gingerbread ROM for this device?
I did a bit of digging on ROMs and found several in the "AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII i777 Index" thread. But since I dont have this device I cant try any of them out for him, and like I said early I know little on Samsung devices.
Thanks for any help!

1) Full wipe in CWM.
2) No one uses Gingerbread ROMS anymore (for the most part). As a matter of a fact we'll be getting Jellybean soon! Stick to an ICS rom, I recommend either AOKP or CM9.
EDIT: If he wants more of a stock feel, try out Mystics Glory.
Ok. Number one, if he wiped with the stock ics kernel installed, there's a chance he messed up his phone. The stock ics kernel had a severe bug in it. Number two, after he's no longer in ics stock kernel , do a full wipe including system, data, cache, dalvik, and run kernel cleaning script. Thirdly, there are a number of roms out there. Tell him to try them and see which one fits.

I thought about doing all the wipes as well. I wasnt sure if they would work or not though because he cant backup and the factory restore isnt working. I told him to try it through CWM and recovery apparently neither are working well.
And he doesnt want ICS anymore because they changed how the phone connects with tether. With Gingerbread he just had to freeze Tethering Manager to get it to work in ICS Tethering Manager doesnt exist anymore so the same process doesnt work.
However Im sure he would like an ICS ROM if it unlocked tethering for him. The illuminati ROM on my Vivid unlocked the tethering for me, is there something similar for the i777?

In AOKP you can tether with no issues(it also unlocks it). As far as the other stuff, if he did a full wipe like the post above said, with stock recovery. His phone may be messed up
Alright thanks for the help. I'll see if we can get anywhere this afternoon with AOKP. I'll be back after we see where that gets us! lol
