I have been considering jumping right on the HTC Evo 3D when Sprint releases it.
I was planning on selling my HTC Evo 4G on ebay.
What exactly should I do to make sure none of my personal information is left on this phone?
I do have my phone r00ted: Fresh Evo: Current ROM.
Can I just clear the cache, Wipe the SDCard. Do a clean install of Fresh.
Then just shut the phone down and sell it?
Thanks guys!
BAsically, yes. Do a full wipe, flash a new ROM, let it go
in recovery you would wipe user data as well as cache and all that and then do a Rom install.
If you are selling the phone with the SD, wipe SD after you flash the rom.
Hope this helps
Verify that your phone number and Sprint username was removed also . . . on my Moment, only a Factory Reset removed those two items . . .
Sweet, thank you guys for the help!

You can also do that by using the ##768# bjt some has reported that the phone would not activate at all or that the 4G keys get lost. The option I have used to restore my 3G data (which is where the username is used) is the ##DATA# and then typing the MSL then going to Data Profile > Restore. The only detail is that the phone will attempt to get that data back via provisioning as soon as the phone is powered on again so make sure the device is already deactivated before running that step.

It seems you are missing the EPST program which is used to control the radio settings... by any chance are you using any AOSP based ROM like CM?

If you're using a GT540 then look at this.
If you are using the P970 then look at this.

You're saying that the pattern lock is still there after a KDZ update? I though KDZ updates overwrite existing partitions including the data partition.

It doesn't overwrite data or cache, this is why you get stuck at the android screen if you used a 2.2/2.3 custom rom (due to incompatible data such as dalvik-cache and other settings), and flashed a 2.1 with fastboot KDZ, you need to factory reset before hand to resolve this.

I had an experience yesterday with this problem with Optimus Black...The problem with the posted solution here our phone does not have a Home button so this solution not fit with ours, however upon experimenting things I do discover that in replacement for home button we can use the button at the left side of phone (Gesture Button) here how it will go.
-Turn off your phone.
-Hold Volume down together with G button.
-press the power button while still holding the Volume down and G button until it powers on.
Hi. I just flashed this rom. and found that i can only receive mms messages. but i cant send them. On the sense rom, i have no problem with mms. all i have to do was change the apn address to mm.myboostmobile.com.
But with aosp roms, im having his mms issue.
Does anybody have a fix to fix the mms issues on cm7 rom???

Have you tried doing a profile update, thats how the fone gets its network access info and if the the fone is linked to your boost mobile account it should provide the username and password.
PS. What does the fone show up as if you look on your account online. Just curious.

This is exactly what you need to do.. The phone that you cloned, to get the evo on the network.. You need to get the Shared AAA Secret and HA Shared Secret PAssword. I had this same problem with my EVo when cloning it with the samsung moment.. THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED! TRUST ME.. I spent months trying to figure out my problem and found it to be this.. This is the only method that can get you up and running. The HA Shared Secret is in Hex Format.. ill see if i can find that same guide that i used and post it later

Just do a ##rtn# and reset it. That's what I did after I put my evo on boost. It did the hands free activation and everything. Try that

Again, you need to be on a Sense rom for these ## commands to work. I suggest flashing Supreme Sense, running the ##rtn# command, let the phone do hands free activation then update profile and PRL in phone settings -> software update.
It should then work and you will be able to flash back to CM7.
Thanks for the helpful info. I flashed to the latest sense rom on here. Then I tried dialing the ##rtn# code. But when I do it, the dialer screen freezes and does nothing. Am I doing something wrong?
What rom? Did you dial ##3282#, then enter EDIT mode. It will then prompt you to enter your MSL. Or did it not even get that far?
Supreme sense is the rom i installed. Yes i dialed ##3282# and nothing happend. The ##3282# dissapears and The dialer just freezes until i hit the home button. I havent got passed the dialer screen.
How do i enter "edit mode"?

First try update PRL and update profile, reboot, TWICE.
Then try the ##rtn#
If that doesn't work, RUU to Froyo.
if you haven't updated your radio that happens. I had the same problem trying to get into the DATA menu and I couldn't until I had the radios updated.
UPDATE: I did what vicodan said and went back to froyo. The codes started working, but then a new problem arose. when i dailled ##rtn#, i chose edit. Then went to reset. But when I did that, the OS prompted me for a password.
I give up. lol
I re-rooted and installed stock 2.3. And my mms work on there with a simple apn edit. and I downloaded a voicemail app so im good to go!!
Its just a shame I wont be able to use the sexy AOSP roms due to the mms issue. :-(. Thanks everybody for the info!!

The password is your MSL code. Easily obtainable by having root and running MSL reader which is free in the market. You should have your MSL code anyways.

From the other thread..
At first after installation, when it restarted for the first time, it asked me the pin code of my sim card, which is totally fine. But it went to a loop asking me the pin code when I enter the correct pin code. (Don't doubt the code, I tried to enter the wrong code and it didn't allow me). It just wanted to start the phone with the right code but then the pin code request popped up again.
And then after a few tries. I restarted the phone. Now the phone never detect my sim card anymore. It's like I haven't insterted a sim card. Only wifi works fine...
It really is a emergency...I have lost access to all contacts on my phone...
Thank you very much...

what's yours frecuency? if you can't see "india" look for the frecuency e: 1900/850/2100
just select china baseband with 850mhz to 2100mhz..
it always works..
After installing baseband switcher and selecting India baseband it started working...I am going to observe it for few more days..will post you results.

Yeah Baseband switcher will work I even had to use it on CM7.2 as I could set it in the options it would say reboot to apply. When rebooted it would be the stock baseband and it would never change.
Baseband switcher app fixed that problem though
I used for complete day and found few disconnections. I need to reboot the phone to get it working again.

Help, I downgraded from 2.3 to 2.2 for various reasons,but now when I try to upgrade again I just get the pink screen ,if I try using the option from settings/storage,it says key data couldn't be backed up , the installation will stop. Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up completely so I can't even continue to use it in 2.2 can anyone advise ?

Try to put the 2.3 dload folder to a sd card, then remove the battery, plug in a USB cable to the computer and the phone, volume up+down+power (if I remember right lol). See if it will update that way.
no, that's the usual way I've been flashing it, I can get to the image folder ,but it won't boot into recovery either

Odd. Maybe try to flash the ICS pink screen unlocker? I had weird issues at some point too, then I flashed that and the problems went away. Afterwards flash ICS.
Just tried that,still no luck,it doesn't even get to the unpacking screen,it just stays pink. beginning to think its beyond repair

I think it's still possible to fix it. I was loosing hopes too, but I messed around with it anyway and got it working. Just try different dload's, different methods and maybe you'll get it running. Maybe other users will have some ideas too.

Hi there!
I think when you upgrade from software menu there is an option for data back-up.
Uncheck this option and the error should go away.
Also what do you mean with this: "Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up" ?
What do you mean it locks up? Touchscreen is not responsive for example?
My suggestions:
1) Do a factory reset and then check if you can upgrade
2) Try re-installing your recovery(use cwm 5.0.27 by geno for best compatibility) or even replace the whole image folder with the froyo one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146856
Your phone is not beyond repair that's for sure. Since it boots fine.

I haven't noticed an option for data backup,will check again later on. And yes when it locks up touch screen becomes unresponsive and none of the buttons respond either. Also when I try to enter recovery ,both custom and stock, it displays the kernel logo then vibrates with a black screen for a second then back to kernel logo and continues to boot.

Ok guys,I copied over the stock image folder and now it works ok, however I still can't upgrade from froyo. At least I can use it again though so thanks for your help, its much appreciated. Incidentally, there wasn't an option to back up data when upgrading, but that error has now gone, except it now just reboots instead, so I will just keep trying.
