[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I AM VS4:
Flashing a ROM is noob friendly and has great benefits! But that is the only way i know of wifi tethering without your system blocking it. ROMS come stock with a wifi tether setting that works everytime.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydar670:
I know flashing roms are easy (I'm coming from the g1), but I don't have perm root yet, and id rather not mess with gfree until I have no other option because there are more steps to mess up.

But I guess I'll have to muster up the courage to perm root and flash cm7 or some sense rom.

P.S. does cm7 have fm radio support?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
he should be able to tether with temp root as long as the temp root was actually successful... doesn't really have anything to do with custom roms.

yes, CM7 has the fm radio app.

check this thread out. and this one.

for the record, I was able to tether wirelessly on the stock froyo rom (granted, I was permarooted with gfree/rage, but again I don't think this should matter... if you're temp rooted, it should work unless something has changed in the past few months) with the wireless tether app. now I just use the built-in Cyanogen tethering solution.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydar670:
Thanks guys, I'll try the newer wireless tether app and if that doesn't work I'll try gfree perm rooting.

It turns out all I had to do was get a new version of Wireless Tether to get it to work. I was using the old 2.0.2 version from my G1, so I updated to the 2.0.7 version.

Thanks for the reply! Can you tell me what radios/pri/prl you're running too? It's the only thing I haven't changed. Also did you change any settings regarding your phone calls? Basically, anything changed from stock when you flashed CM7 from a complete wipe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Radio: 2.11.00.04.08, also no sky rocketing on 2.11.00.11.19

PRI & NV: 1.77

PRL: 60677

And for the phone, not much changed, except I don't let it vibrate on call or anything like that. Using stock dialer, no third party apps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegregbradley:
Thanks added :) I'm gonna try out the older PRI/NV as well as update my PRL to 60677, I'm on 60675 right now. I have no idea what PRI I'm on since there's no way to check in Salvage-Mod, and I gotta flash to some sense-based rom to mess with the PRL... I'll be back with the results in a few hours when I test things properly.

Well. Updated to PRI/NV 1.77, on PRL 60677, and radio 2.15.00.11.19, and I still have the android system usage after a phone call. Running salvagemod 1.2.1 and tiamat 3.3.7 at the moment.

Android system wasn't even on the chart, then one phone call test (15 seconds long) and android system is at 9%. Ugh. A normal 10 or 15 minute phone call makes it rocket to over 50%, sometimes as high as 80+. Man I want this issue to be solved, can't wait for the official HTC gingerbread so that hella new roms will start dropping and the problems can start going away.

Hi, I new the trying to root my htc evo 4g i just got from sprint. I`m looking at using unrEVOked 3.21 since i have a macbook pro. I was just wondering if it will delete anything off my phone, it says no data wiping. And what does full nand unlock do? Also, It says it flashes a custom recovery rom too, will this change the operating system thats on it now or just the recovery & will the phone stay like it is now until i flash a custom rom to it? Thanx for the help, I`ve been hacking iphones since they came out & now I`m switching to the evo :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
It will not erase anything or change the ROM that's on there. Your phone will be exactly the same, except it will be rooted.

You need full nand unlock to be able to do most things, so this is a good thing.

Custom recovery is where you go to make backups, and flash ROMs/Kernels/Mods. It's completely separate from the ROM.

Edit: Welcome! Glad you got rid of that icrap :D. Had an iphone 4 for a few weeks. Nice phones, but no comparison.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
hahaha sorry. i meant 'roll' s-off like, 'thats how i roll'. meant it in that context. s-off is security-off. it unlocks the nand, bootloader whatever. this allows you to flash radios, pri's, boot animations, etc.

the vanilla lock screen is the two sliding tabs. one unlocks- the other changes your sound profile.

You can also cancel your hotspot add-on (not sure how actually paying for it works), and just use a free wireless tether app, one built into a rom (Cyanogenmod for example), or use a rom with the hotspot hacked to work (I think Myn's has it).

Unless someone else is paying for it, then have at it.

You won't need to flash that ROM after you're Rooted (I think) it will be exactly the same as the ROM you'll already be running after you're rooted. I would stay away from the Ginger Sense for now, it's still pretty buggy. If you want a stock looking from, MikFroyo 4.61 looks completely stock. So do Sprint Lovers and stock turbo. Fresh is pretty stock looking too.

If I were you, I would cancel the mobile hotspot plan and just use Wireless Tether.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I like Amon Ra better than CWM, I believe a lot of people do, but it's personal preference. If you're going to switch recoveries, I'd go ahead and do it so your backups are consistent & you don't have to flash Clockwork to restore.

There are tons of awesome root apps, it just depends on what you're looking for. Droidwall, Titanium, and Root Explorer are some of my most useful root apps. I'd suggest looking into flashing a custom Rom, as you'll probably get more from that than just downloading root apps.

U should do a little more reading if u got that many questions
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You don't really need apps2sd, you can move them all via titanium backup but to each his own. if you use a havs kernel, setcpu will fight it, and it'll be negated. You should always leave usb debugging on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Honestly, I don't use either. I don't have a need to move apps to the SD card because I have plenty of space in internal memory. If you need more space you can, but if not I'd leave the apps in internal memory where they belong. If you do end up moving apps to your SD card, be careful what you move. Widgets can't be moved & there are other things you don't want to move, like launchers.

I don't use SetCPU because I am using a havs kernel, which does the work for me. If you're on stock, you might have issues as well. I'm not sure if the stock kernel is overclock-friendly. I don't have a need to overclock, my phone runs fine. In fact, when I was using SetCPU, I undervolted to save battery. Unless you feel like your phone needs a speed boost or you're using some heavy apps, you might not need to overclock. You could benefit battery-wise from a 245/245 screen off profile. Before using SetCPU, be sure to read their site. It gives a lot of good info about governors & such. I would also avoid the "set on boot" option until you're comfortable with the app. It's free for xda members, just find the thread for the app. Feel free to purchase it, though.

Also, if your launcher feels laggy, you can try downloading VM Heap Tool from the market & upping the vm heap size to 40-48. This has helped me out a lot.

As far as USB debugging goes, it won't hurt anything to leave it on. I doubt you'll be using it, but as I said, it won't hurt.

Hi

I've finally had my phone back from the workshop after a malfunctioning speaker.

So, I flashed Modaco's ROM from his online kitchen, and I deselected a few options, which I though I didn't need.

Now, my problem is, I can't tap on the sides to move the cursor anymore.

Which program is this function within? Is it the LG Home, LG keyboard, LG message app or something completely different.

I tried using another keyboard on stock ROM, this was no problem, so I guess the keyboard is not the reason, but what should I avoid removing in the next cooking of a ROM, if I want this function to work? :)

thanks in advance

[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
Yeah, I froze my LG Home when I was on stock as well. But when compiling the ROM in the Modaco kitchen, I deselected LG Home, so there was no trace of LG at all.

I also use a different messaging app as well, but could the feature be within the messaging app og keyboard, even though they aren't used. As long they are installed, the feature is there?

Considering baking a new ROM without the LG Home again, but with the messaging app and keyboard perhaps...

Haven't had the time to bake with some options, and flash, and then try another bake, and so on, yet... but will be the case someday, if someone doesn't beat me to it ;)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
There probably is a way to recover your phone, but it isn't helping that you didnt write down you version numbers and/or read in the forum before you started the root process.

Is your phone branded?: Is it a provider-phone i.e. t-mobile, vodafone etc? To give a definite answer on that you need to know the exact version number (like 2.29.405.5). Without this number you can afaik just guess - did you see a logo other than htc's on bootup? Where there any provider-specific apps preinstalled on your phone? Where did you buy it?

My first guess is to boot into fastboot (power on while holding "back"-key) and flash the correct ruu ( Download here)

If its unbranded, the correct RUU is RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe.

After that your phone is completely back to stock and you can retry the rooting-prodedure but with the newest unrevoked and without downgrading hboot

EDIT: Am I correct in thinking that you can't boot up your phone and a stuck on the first htc-logo (before the annoying sound)? If no, forget all the above.

Can you boot into recovery? (power on while hitting vol-, then wait 10 seconds, then highlight "recovery" with vol-/vol+, select with power, wait another 5 seconds, hit vol+ + power (I think ^^)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
That means your phone is not branded ('405' is the important part).

The get unrevoked working you need your phone to be booted up. So you probably need to run the ruu first.
