So I rooted my EVO 3D with unrEVOked, and I noticed some problems, so I went back to 100% complete stock. So after a couple of days, I started getting SMS errors and radio interfearances. Well I got it fixed a while ago, but it also lagged once in a while when I'm typing a message, sometimes scrolling through screens, when I make my phone go to sleep, it like sleeps then wakes up right away, but now it's been like around two weeks, and I've been having a little more lag when I'm typing a message, or making the phone go to sleep, so I have to keep restarting the phone to make it run smooth and fast. I updated the phone already, and idk if its the update or the root that messed up the phone, but if anyone knows HOW this happened, and how I can get rid of this lag, then PLEASE help me out, cause this lag is pissing me off. Thanks.
Root your phone again and get rid of that sprint crap...problem solved..hehe

But I updated my phone to the latest version. Can I still root it?
U can through HTC but u can't flash very much..just 2.3.4 stuff...do u have s-on or s-off?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Oh, well then how do I root it again? Cause I mean the lag pisses me off.
Go to htcdev.com and unlock your phone then find the Su zip in the dev section,then flash a recovery either twrp or cwm then u should be good...I'm assuming you have s-on correct?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Oh alrite then, nd yes I do.
Wait, and another thing, can I still root if I have 2.3.4??
Then yeah follow the directions from HTC then do the rest and flash 2.3.4 roms u won't be able to flash kernels yet but u will soon..should find some good roms from the devs

As long as u flash the Su zip then you will b rooted and flash a recovery I prefer twrp...go to the development section and there will b a walkthrough
For ya...
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
After you flash a recovery like twrp make sure you wipe everything including cache and the complete wipe of the phone before flashing any ROM, I think that's why your experiencing lag because you flashed over the stock ROM when you should of wiped everything before flashing.

Well actually, my phone is 100% stock, like i Have nothing of root whatsoever.
Well, actually, my phone has nothing of root whatsoever, so its 100% stock.
You should make sure you know what your doing before trying things, You may end up with the most attractive paperweight around.
If you dont know what your doing you should NOT attempt things like this.

Well, most people that first come here don't know what they are doing. I think what you meant to say is, if you don't even know where or how to find a guide on rooting and flashing then before attempting anything, there is one thing you should do first. READ!!!! Read the stickies in the dev forum. Read the links in the stickies in the dev forum. Use Google to find as much info on the internet as you can before attempting anything!!! Please, for your own good read as much as you can. We cannot hold your hand through it. You need to be able to do this on your own. Read until you become familiar with the terminology. Then if you still don't understand come back here and ask. If you do that we will understand your questions better and you will understand the answers better. We all started out knowing nothing about this. I read on these forums for 2 years before posting anything. I am by no means a professional, but I do understand how to search for and find the answers to my questions.
Just realized i meant to post this here
Been using ics passion for a couple months now as a daily driver and havent had many issues, but i recently read about the ics encryptiom bug that basically randomly bricks phones for no reason so im thinking about switching away till its safe...
I just wanna be sure what roms have this bug?
Also whats ics passion based on?
So would it be all ics or just CM9? Nexus ports? Aosp? Gsii?
Thank you in advance

I encountered the deadly "Encryption Unsuccessful" bug while running doc masters ics rom v5. Now I don't know whether this is the case for all ics roms but just to be safe you should stay away from ics altogether. I was never able to fix my vibrant no matter what I did I couldn't bring it back to life...so you've been warned.
Of course things are much better now that I have a new Gnex with official ics 4.0.4
Very cool about the gnex... for the vibrant, have you tried unbrickable mod?? Maybe itll fix it

The Jtagging method is not any different than odin. I am able to flash anything through download mode. But not CWM which doesn't exist in my case. I have lost complete access to my internal flash memory...it is unable to mount because it is encrypted with a key in which i don't know. And i don't know how to decrypt it at this point.
The second method which is the hard mod method seems to be a little risky. I won't even bother trying that method since it is useless in my case. You see my phone is not "hard" bricked it is "soft" bricked. With that being said my phone turns on...boots up...i can enter download mode...access stock recovery not CWM...and access external sdcard through adb...thats it.
The only way to save my phone would be to create a temporary partition on my external sd card to act as its main memory. All that while being done through adb commands if even possible. So at this point my phone is complete paperweight until someone finds a solution.
I think this will eventually become a widespread problem sooner or later on all ICS roms. When the time comes somebody out there on these forums will eventually find a solution. Or at least i hope.
Thanks for the help guys i really appreciate it but my phone is bricked for now.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
from my understanding, both jtag and unbrickable mod start at the primary bootloader level and rewrite everything up from there, which i would assume includes sdcard too..
Are you sure youre not confusing jtag with jig??

My mistake. But i see that they charge $40 to fix your phone. There is no way I'm sending my phone to those guys. I have some personal data on my vibrant that I'll never let anybody get a hold of such as credit card info etc.
I am much happier now with my new Galaxy Nexus. I don't really care about my bricked vibrant that much anymore. But i still plan on fixing it in the near future when somebody comes up with a solution that is free of charge.

I sent mine to them for a broken USB port, I just wiped beforehand just in-case (even though I left a backup). If I can't fix something myself, it's better to pay a little for it, than to have to buy a new phone.

True but the problem is that i can't wipe the internal storage because i don't have access to it. I can only wipe the external sd...but why do that when you can simply remove it.

Hello all, I was walking my friend through rooting his phone over Google talk. He rooted all went well a few days later he wanted to Rom it. He made a mistake and flashed the international omega Rom on his US ATT samsungi747. His phone is now dead. No way to get into recovery or download mode. Just dead. Bricked. What can I do to help him? As I am partially responsible cause I was helping him. I did not know much about the Rom he was flashing.
I was reading about a possible fix with a jig but can not find a jig for.the Samsung i747.
Please any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

A compatible jig may be your only solution if you can't get into download mode manually. A jig would force the phone into download mode, once in download mode you'd be able to flash the stock AT&T firmware through Odin.

Thanks man! I ordered him one. Hopefully it will work. He's also going to make one tomorrow.
A huge thank you to all the people that provided helpful information and friendly advice.
I was actually expecting more ridicule, but it was minimal. . I know we messed up, but I never knew you could "brick" a phone from flashing a Rom.
Anyway thanks again guys! I will keep you posted on if the jig works or not.

The morning I was picking up my phone...a dude walks in and says that his phone doesn't turn on anymore after having it a week. I thought to myself..."he flashed an international ROM...what a douche".

If you didnt know a rom could brick a phone you shouldnt be flashing period. Theres always ALWAYS bold letters that says this may brick your phone an or we are not responsible if this breaks your phone... no one with there first android should be flashing till they know android smoothly... *sigh*
Usually 90% of the time your always able to get into recovery mode. From what I've read this only happens when flashing the omega Rom. People make mistakes.
I've rooted and rom'd 100s of phones, and never not been able to get back to recovery.

I understand telling him to read. And he did so for about a week. He succesfully used odin to root his phone. A few days later he said he wanted to Rom, and asked me how to do a proper back up with titanium backup. I ran him through the backup procedure.
I mean I totally thought that if he made it through the rooting procedure that he was good to go. Rom'ing has always been to me something fairly easy, and if something went haywire, just boot to recovery.
I've had people ask for help that flashed an incomplete or corrupted download, but have always been able to at least power the phone on, or at the very least have it recongnized in adb.
I have been reading and googling about a fix, but information seems minimal on this current circumstance. So I reached out to the community for advice.

I've been Away for About 4 Months...and it looks like a lot has changed. Such as S-off is becoming more feasible...though I haven't tried it. And there is a new recovery (EXT4) that I have tried on Google Play and I like it so far a lot.
But now I am wanting to go from Gingerbread up to Ice Cream Sandwich, and I haven't got a clue where to start. I have found out that it is more than a simple update zip on your SD card.
So where should I start. I have bought Ext4 and installed it. It completely got replaced my Clockwork Mod recovery...just a question can we get Clockwork Mod back if we want it??
I have tried 2 different ICS roms and they both led to reboot loops, so I must be doing something wrong. I haven't S offed my phone because I'm a little scared of it still...read about loosing important things when you try it.
So any help is greatly appreciated to get me leading in the right direction

You need to restore to stock GB via the stock ruu or if you're on tmo you can jump straight to ICS by relocking your bootloader and loading the latest zip file via hboot, by placing it on your sd card and renaming it PH85IMG, need more info to provide further help.

Yea, my signature has a link to the amaze Bible, it is up to date and has all the useful information in these forum well organized.. use the google doc, not the wiki - we still need help getting the wiki updated.. but yea, you can even find how to upgrade from Ginger to ice cream, multiple different ways.

I find this to be true as well. When I got my Amaze, I first read everything I could find on how to get it unlocked and rooted. THEN I did it.
Coming from an HD2, I found this device to be a bit harder to get a hold of when doing the unlock and root process. I'm not sure why, but I was confused until I read to the end of a number of threads, and even then I was nervous doing the actual unlock / root.
Totally agree. The hd2 was unique though because it started from absolute scratch. From loading from sd through winmo, then dual boot, then mag...It was built from the ground up and I felt like I was learning everything along with the devs. I felt like I really had a good grasp with that phone but this one made me feel lost again...Felt good when the wire trick worked first try though!

I just haven't felt the need to go S-Off on my Amaze... yet.
well if you look, you will see that i am unable to fix my dna, i can boot to fastboot and into cwm recovery, but unable to restore my backup. cant wipe anything, i really have no clue. im planning on reporting this phone lost/stolen so it will have a bad esn. and i want to give this phone to a developer that would like to tinker with it, heck the right developer might be able to restore it back to normal. at this point i am still trying to restore it myself, but within the next few hours if i cant fix it, then i would like to know if any developers in here would like to take it. i know itll have a bad esn, but i see it as a test dummy to test roms on. kinda like my way of saying thanks to the developers for providing their hours of hard work to get great features and roms to us users.
You try RUU?
Try to fix it but if you can't give it to a dev that can tinker with it and find a new s-off method for 2.04
