[important note] ICS LEAK FIRMWARE ZIP and DOWNGRADING

mreyesems · May 6, 2012

Yeah, I'm having the same issue. I downgraded my hboot to the eng hboot, even wiped out what i felt was safe through the fastboot oem commands and nothing worked to fix the virgin mobile eri issue.

At this point, nothing is messed up, my 3G works fine, my 4G works fine.. On my device, it's essentially a cosmetic issue. Just kind of irritating seeing Virgin Mobile all the time when i know damn well I pay for Sprint service.. I guess it's just me being anal about things..

If I figure out how to fix it, I will let you guys know.

I popped both the dzdata_4g.hdr and a dzdata.img from a 1.13 RUU into a HEX editor.

The strings

Starting with Ct show up in both files.

From the HDR File:

Code:

Ct..(...........Ct..0...........Ct..8...........Ct..@...........Ct..H...........Ct..P...........Ct..X...........Ct..`...........Ct..h...........Ct..p...........Ct..x...........Ct..€.

Notice the 0, 8, @, H, P, X . . .

Here are some stuff at different offsets from that .img:

Code:

Ct..0....
Ct..8.
Ct..@...
Ct..H...
Ct..P...
Ct..X...

^-- Something is in there..

I don't know enough about it, but there.

Yeah what Droiddawg said, if we knew our Evo 3D's partition map like that, it'd be as simple as pulling the dzdata_4g.hdr out of a stock (well, not with vm firmware) Evo and flashing back.

Unfortunately it didn't exist until this update. It was a single dzdata.img not 2 files: dzdata_4g.img and dzdata_4g.hdr. It's the same concept how the sensation article states.

found this on another part of the fourms when i was looking up what we are dealing with

this is nice to know, but we dont have a ruu yet so there is no testing this. the firmware we flashed wasnt complete and was missing stuff. when we get sprints ruu we will know for sure. this might explain the more free ram tho.

People with connectivity problems should try flashing the newest radio (and wimax) that came before the ICS, then flash the ICS over it again. Contrary to popular belief, sometimes you have to do the intermediate steps, too. I can bet the people with issues have stuck with an older radio and its working out like ICS for the Droid 2. You had to flash gingerbread first to get all the parts in place for the update to work.

Look guys i simply took a file someone else uploaded and removed a few files that wiped your data. There was no evil intent, and i even warned about the virgin mobile thing. Fortunately for me, my phone still works fine even with the virgin mobile eri banner, which is easily changed. Hell, I'm not even in my home state at the moment so I'm having every opportunity to test 3g and it works fine

I don't know what to say but I sure meant no harm with someone else's leaked software. To be honest, the real sprint software will probably contain all the same files but tailored for sprint if anyone who is having problems wants to wait.

Exactly. We flashed a leaked rom with leaked firmware. If it was completely done, we'd have a release or a leak without problems.

Yes true, but if this is anything *remotely* close to what was posted earlier dzdata_4g.hdr flashed to a specific partition, even though these are 2 different phones, the logic should be the same. And for arguments sake lets assume there's no dzdata_4g.hdr in our previous RUU's because there's been no reason to ever change them? I mean we have a lot more partitions on our phone than the RUU has files for.

Freeza, I did not mean to make my post towards seem like it your zip causing problems. I meant that the leaked firmware zip is what is causing it... nobody here had any harmful intents...

I hope people realize that. You did this to help others. I appreciate and respect you and your work.

what code is the phone throwing you?

JoeLithium · May 6, 2012

Try making a phone call. It might throw an error and connect you to sprint. A representitive will ask a few questions and give you a few instructions. Then your phone should work done. Worked for me. I don't know if they are logging some **** but, I have a completely working phone now with ICS.

Happened to me when I flashed an AOSP rom way back in the fall. Connected and didn't have any problems any more. Probably having to do with sprint handling ICS phones differently or somehting.

That or some sort of phone security. Phone theft has taken off nowadays.

Also for people having data problems, whenever I have them it helps by reseting your data profile. If you do ##data# enter your msl then click edit, then click on data profile, then in the top left click menu, and from there click restore. It'll reboot and handsfree activate. That usually fixes any network problems for me. It may or may not fix the text issues. ymmv

No worries. I'm sure we all knew that flashing something that was not meant for our phone could have some drawbacks. Your intentions were good, and you honestly tried to help others. Right now I'm out of the country, so I don't even know what sort of problems I have (or will have) with Sprint. For now, everything is working (like I said, network has not been tested yet).
