Thanks

So I found a couple of old Dizzy ROM's... they seemed to boot okay, but I keep getting errors when I try to sign on... I have a MotoBlur account but still get error... any ideas? Could my radio keep me from being able to log in? It said use latest radio, but that was almost 2 years ago...

No offense to anyone here, but I cant even fiddle with his phone for more than 30 seconds before I get frustrated by it's sluggishness and just hand it back to him. It's phones like that that prevented me from buying an Android phone for so long, but now I have the Evo and love it.
So, what can I do to help him out here? It's fully updated. Mostly I'd want to look into some sort of overclock and removing the sprint bloatware. Nothing fancy, just something to make it more functional.
First and foremost you need to root the phone using universal androot or z4 one click root.
Get root explorer to remove the bloatware. Once it is installed open up root explorer navigate to data/FLEX and remove bloatware.
Then you can start speeding up the phone using sysctl config app in the market. We have a thread with recommended settings floating around here somewhere. VM Heap tool and BladeBuddy to turn off stagefright, you can also use apps like SD speed increase to gain a lil speed from your sd card. After doing all of that and dialing the settings in the phone should run like a dream.
Just don't brick it. We will not take liability in the case that the phone no longer functions properly or if the battery blows up or any thing that happens from modifying the phone.
Now before you go buck wild with your dad's phone please read more about rooting and sysctl but first question is, cricket or sprint?

I never had issues with the Zio mine was great on speed an UI, rootedfrom day one. I got a semi bricked one for free im trying to flash it back as it out performs the Optius...though nothing seems to work. Ive tried booting it at least 4-5 ways. Ive used original rom, custom rom, ive tried pushing the images for boot through usb as well. Anyone got any ideas? Id love make some some custom mods for it.

Please tell me you arent trying to push the roms / themes from here on XDA. They are cricket images and wont work on sprint.
Aside from that, you may need to get someone with a working sprint zio and try to perform a nand backup from a fresh hard reset that you can hopefully restore. I dont even know if CWM recovery will work for sprint but read the thread here and give it a shot to see if it boots.
My Zio is a cricket its NOT a Sprint...

I dont think there are any stock 1.6 img files anywhere around here. Just out of curiosity why the hell would you want the stock 1.6 img anyway??

But I promise you if it's cricket, flash the openzio rom once spz includes the kernel.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
OK, so the prob with this Zio is the last owner attempted to do the 2.2 over the air update and it failed, causing it to not boot right, then a Cricket Rep. Reloaded the OS and now it won't go passed the green droid at original start screen. Sure hope that kernel arrives soon. Thanks for all the help I appreciate it!

Have you tried erasing everything in fastboot and flashing imgs in fastboot?
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
Everything is off it, I assume since the OS was reloaded it has no root, this is my first time with a difficult phone too.I have ODIN if someone would be willing to walk me through that process I'd be VERY MUCH appreciative, it's possible I've over complicated this in my head, if it has no root am I skrewed? PC won't recognize it in usb, and I'm new to adb so getting files to it is tricky for a rookie like me ={
Sent from my LG-LW690 using XDA Premium App
Scrapped that zio...even ODIN didn't help...trading that zio and this LG for an out the box brand new Droid Incredible...coming completely set up rooted,backed up,and with a tested custom ROM optimized for speed and performance! Thanks to all the awesome ppl who helped me try and get that Zio going ^_^
Sent from my LG-LW690 using XDA Premium App
Good luck with the new phone... sorry that the Zio is too complicated to use, unfortunately we only have a few devs around here... the incredible has plenty of support and everything will be easy. If you have trouble with that phone it will be user error.

Is there anyway to take an app(Footprints) from a droid incredible or dinc 2 and run them on a Droid Bionic? I have played with rooting and ROMS, but with school and everything else going on, I just haven't had time to research it. If not, can anyone suggest a similar app for the Bionic. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
don't think that is possible the htc apps are made to run only on htc phones like footprints and teeter i am sure it could be tampered with to work but i am sure it is a lot more work than it is is work and i am not sure about related apps to that google it?? there for a reason
I just did a google search for footprints.apk and found a site where you may be able to download it.
Just remeber that you do this at your own risk. I also don't condone piracy so make sure this isn't a paid app.
I had found the apk download, but was nervous about issues caused by it being an HTC app. Thanks for the advice. Was hoping someone else may have already done this. Guess I'll break down and do the research. Thanks again

Hello community. Long story short, I'm ONLY familiar with HTC. A customer came into my store with a bionic that was rooted, but SMS was messed up. I was on my way out for the day and a fellow rep showed me this guys bionic. I treated it like any other rooted device and rather than wasting time (I was in a hurry to leave) I just downloaded and flashed a theme. I could not figure out what rom he had, so i took a guess. I assumed if it didn't work, I could just boot into recovery and restore or just flash a different rom if need be... Well the phone hangs in its new boot screen and it appears that CWR is gone. It just has the stock recovery. I have no other info about what software was on it or anything. Being an HTC person, Im just lost! Any help is more that appreciated! Thanks

Wife and I just bought a Motorola droid bionic, Been reading that it is possible to put on the h20 wireless network. I have been messing with the phone all day. I finally got pass the setup at the start, First I was getting "this sim is from an unknown source" error, I bypassed that now I am trying to determine if I am able to take it to h20 wireless or not. I don't want to forced to pay the $80 a month w/verizon.
Phone is Verizon Droid Bionic,
I have the h20 sim, but i get the above error.
I have found a way to bypass the setup as mentioned above, I forgot to mention i have a "no Sim" error now" Would this be because of H20?
Trying to solve this A.S.A.P my pageplus plan expires 2mrw, then i will have no phone.
Any ideas?:angel:

I'm on page 12, I am very confused on where to even start for 1. I know its not as simple as popping the sim card in and it working. Good thing is i have both an h20 wireless sim and at&t sim so i can go to either. But i prefer h20 so i can return the AT&T phone.
Would it be too much to ask for some step by step help with this process? My wife wants to return this phone and get another one, But were both disabled and can't afford to put any more $ out so i've been reading 4 the last 2hours.
Thanks in advance.
In my opinion not enough is known yet for the bionic to be a reliable gsm phone. When I had mine on AT&T it got a weak signal. My friend is on AT&T and a lot of times he would have a good signal and I wouldn't have one at all, and like I said earlier different bionics seem to have different results. I read in that forum that on person had like 1 out of 3 that the mod worked on. If I were you I would sell the bionics and buy at&t phones. But that's only my opinion.

Update
Ok, so I was playing with the sim card.1. this is my first phone ever with a needed sim card. So i was playing with it thinking i might have put it in backwards or something.
so my guess i did, no i am no longer getting a grey ANT with red circle, i am getting no signal and when i attempt to make call i get the following error " outgoing calls are restricted by FDN".. In my mind this is progress to me.
But what is my next step?:good:
Thinking about it

Hey guyssssssss I live in Puerto Rico and my 4.3 update just got to me SEP/30
I used the standard process for unloocking bootloader /TMWP Recovery/ SuperSU/ and installed costom ROM. And everything is still working. If anyone else got the update please tell me.
Update:
A bit about my phone. I bought it from a best buy clerk that won it in a pre release of the HTC one ( promotional propaganda to push the phone as they came into market. CWM touch recovery don't work on my phone always crashes.
Here here not smoking nothing. 5 hours of semi bricked device and I am back. No joke I can't get back to stock. RUU's dont work so I cant replicate what I did in a video. The update came to my phone Sep30. Tried to update but since I had a costume recovery kept falling to update ( even though the phone was forcing me to update everytime) decided to use the original RUU and update all the way throu. At 4 updates later I finally had it. All the bloatware from HTC wanted to update and so did sprint. What I first ran to check was the VVM because I know is not working on 4.3 and in fact had an update. Extracted the .apk and .odex and are on other post. And whent ahead and unlocked bootloader wish did normaly. Next went to install recovery and so it did. Then installed super user. All good. Final step change ROM so I did. When came the time to do it all again I couldnt. When I relocked phone it erased side loaded ROM and RUU don't work. Hit error as is tries to identify version. Hope HTC releases the update. If anyone has any way of getting RUU to work please page me. I would love to replicate the update for you guys
A ~250MB update is going to be the 1.31.651.2 OTA. If it is anything different than 4.1.2 then please post screen shot of About Phone -> Software Information screen. Appreciate it.

I already posted the new Sprint VVM in hopes it will fix the problems people are having with the 4.3 roms. I dont know how to compile it so i added the .apk and the .odex if something else is missing please tell me.

If in fact it has been updated to 4.3 it is extremely easy to pull OTAs from HTC devices versus any other manufacturer

At the same time I would highly highly doubt that this will be the 4.3 OTA due to a custom ROM will most likely have major issues due to the firmware update and all from the new OTA.

I hope for your sake that you are just misunderstanding something because the mods have said that the next person to post a thread about a fake 4.3 update is going to get banned. The 4.3 update is not just 250 mb as has been said and is just the 1.31 update which is still 4.1.2.

Hey, they aren't hating. They just don't like being teased. This site sometimes has the worst trolls. I read your history. You seem reputable. It just seems odd that you have this update. Maybe you got it, maybe you thought you did but were mistaken. A simple screenshot would end and presumed hostility.
