[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momeo:
I have updated to the latest version that HTC/Sprint provided for the Hero in terms of software which is radio version 2.42.01.04.27 and firmware 2.1-update1. I'm having a really hard time rooting as I have tried unrevoked but no matter what i did it would not show hboot usb on the bootloader screen, I tried Super One click and it wouldnt mount and that wouldn't work.

Can anyone point me to anything else i can try or use so that I can please root my phone and install my rom of choosing?

Thanks

Where do you download the android sdk? Does it have to be any specific version? And one last question, does it work on 2.42.01.04.27?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiwetir:
http://www.google.com/search?q=android+sdk&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8

That's a radio version if I'm not mistaken, but if you read the thread, you will see it works with up to the newest version.

just z4root it works everytime.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXcybersniperXx:
1. Dont listen to him z4root doesnt always work, didnt work on Samsung Vibrant

2. Depends on phone model, i had to use SuperOneClick root, and on my Motorola Cliq XT i had to use the "rageagainstthecage" method and one my Huawei Ideos U8150 i used z4root, again just depends on phone model
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momeo:
Im not that experienced and wasnt able to follow the first root method suggested with the SDK and all of that. I tried superoneclick but it always gets stuck when mounting. Where can i find z4root?

[HTC Desire S] phoenixg36:
when I try to flash recovery per adb:

/sbin # flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Can't read device: "/dev/block/mmcblk0"

Error in reading mbr!

failed with error: -1

when I try to dump the mbr comes a I/O read error

is there a way to clear all data and restor a new image?
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
I'm pretty sure the partitions are different in our case, has to do with ext4..., but look in some updater-script in any update that has boot in it, should work...

Also I'd try flashing RUU, that has usually all in it and goes through bootloader (just name the rom.zip PGG88IMG.zip and place it in the root)

Hope you fix it soon!
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
iirc for some actions like restore in recovery the battery has to be charged >50% .

Also goldcard/xtc only works with full loaded battery.

If recoveryrestore does not work, flashing an ruu should work...
[HTC Desire S] phoenixg36:
The battery is 100%

RUU update with the tool from HTC didn´t work

Flash in the bootloader with the rom.zip as PG88IMG.zip hangs by Updating Bootloader.

I don´t now what I shoud do.

At home I have a XTC Clip so can that help? But I´m stay in USA until 07.06.2011 so the XTC is far away :(
[HTC Desire S] phoenixg36:
I backup a mbr from a working desire s and try to restor in my defect phone:

So is there any other option to errase and reflash the internel flash?

hey guys, me and Tazz have been troubleshooting HTC Hub to see why it won't connect and we'd appreciate your help. Whatever you can think of that may help, let us know and test it out yourself! Thanks y'all.

So far, I've gotten it to connect once by replacing the htchub apk with the one from the Mild Salsa 2.3.3 rom. it won't connect anymore though, let us know what y'all come up with!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coffeehandle:
How would this be a problem with the apk?

I mean this is just first thought, but i dont know how Kyle ported, and i just dont understand porting to well anyway. but once i root my hero ill do a test rum

Great work so far, by the wway!! its revolutionary

EDIT: Did you get the mms bug? or are we still workin on that
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdemonumber3:
some people have got the mms working with sms/mms apps from the market but not stock from what I heard last :/
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coffeehandle:
I cant get it too work period. But this is an awesome step for the heroc.

Ill do a test run when i get my sd card, in like a week or two..

well by then i wouldnt be suprised if its 99% stable hahaa
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyingemu:
MMS is working with the stock app for me with the Tazz3 base.

As far as HTC hub not connecting have you tried to logcat?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungSinema:
I got it to work fine on my phone. I went to HTCSense.com on my PC and signed up there. I lied and said that I had a Desire S. After signing up, you have to confirm your email address, then sign in on your phone. So, I went to the menu to add a widget on my phone and clicked on "Get more HTC widgets." Then, I just had to sign in on phone with the information that I used when I signed up on my PC. Everything worked, and since then I've been able to access everything on the hub that I wasn't able to access before.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but hopefully it is. Good luck. Oh, and sorry for the messy explanation.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coffeehandle:
thats actually brilliant. Ill remember when i flash this finally

[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Are they even a credible site for mobile news?

Could that be the reason for the "delay" if there even was a delay..

Don't cry about putting this another thread or whine about another bootloader thread being made I'm not gonna dig up a old thread to post this.

If this is old new let it die with the multiple duplicate threads by not commenting or posting.

It's.the.first I heard of it actually happening..it eludes that HTC had to backtrack..seems to be the reason for the.delay good find
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Yeah I checked before posting but since this was posted today I figured it would be worth its own thread

And yeah first time I herd the word "backtrack" on the evo 3d

[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
"Back tracking" to remove the lock on the bootloader was my suspicion the whole time. Begs the question, why not provide an OTA update to unlock it? This is going to be the longest 3 weeks ever
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
I was thinking it would be a OTA updated but I guess they literally unboxed hundreds of thousands of phones to do what we wanted them to do...

We win the bootloader battle but lose to the waiting game ..

sent from anything but a iPhone
[HTC EVO 3D] vinterchaos:
Idk, I have a hard time believing they unboxed every phone to update its bootloader, but I guess we will know when our phones arrive if that had been the case, I think they'll be locked when we get them... we're talking millions of phones here.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Not millions they only make so many at first...

Then after there stock runs low they just order more to be made

I had 3 g2x's in a weeks time all with manufactured dates no later than a week old...

sent from anything but a iPhone
[HTC EVO 3D] vinterchaos:
hmm, well its a lot of phones... its not like its just a 5,000 phones (which is a lot all in itself)

and as far as dates go, that **** can get silly, the galaxy s vibrant was a bit screwed up for some people, volume rocker wasn't helping us get to recovery like it was supposed too.. and there was a whole big date time of frame where people thought it was the issue, and the dates were really odd.. def more than a week or two old before they were received.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Yeah I'm not saying the manufactured dates are all correct I also remember the vibrant button recovery problem

But if it was suppose to launch the 4th of June and now the 24th its not that unreasonably for them to do it...

When I worked at a plastic factory and a company sent back " bad or faulty" parts we would rework them in days where talking millions of parts...

They have the unlock codes and thousands of employees to do it... honestly in a 12 hour shift a single person could do a few thousand phones alone. Now times that by a thousand employees and a few weeks its done in no time

sent from anything but a iPhone
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
I would highly doubt that is the reason for the delay and to be honest, no one said the EVO 3d was delayed except for people posting bogus dates on this site.

It is not like Sprint said the EVO 3d is getting released on June 4th. It was all speculation that it was being released the same day as the original EVO and I have yet to see anything from Sprint that says otherwise.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
That's why I said IF there was ever a delay...

But the phone is coming soon

HTC just released the phone to the FCC

[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
The word "backtracked" meant they back tracked on policy. Before open bootloaders, then locked bootloaders, backtracked to open :) It will be locked when released, a OTA will fix it OR a "leak". Perhaps it may be unlocked when released, due to the real release date, when ever that is. It was never coming on June 4th like everyone hoped/dreamed. I mean it is just now getting sent to the FCC, you think they delayed sending off to the FCC for a bootloader? lol

Reality Sucks!
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
Just because they "back tracked" on the e3d DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE UNBOXING ALL THOSE PHONES. It very well could mean they backtracked their thought process and it'll still be OTA. because it also states the "back tracking effect future phones. So I doubt for fun they are going to lock those bootloaders, package them and then un box them. just to unlock the boot loader. It didn't say that was the cause of the phone not being out or even a delay.

Folks this phone is coming when it's coming. I doubt there has even been so much as a delay. people really need to settle down. Its coming. HTC said so Sprint said so, and the FCC has paper work.
[HTC EVO 3D] jessejames111981:
how do we know these phones were all boxed to begin with? more more speculation. Everywhere here just assumes they were. I doubt they box them up 5 weeks ahead of time just to sit around. HTC Sprint want this out as soon as possible (hopefully while making sure its a finished product) so they can start to pay for the R&D

God,i can't wait for the dev section. So I dont have to read this garbage anymore.

thats pretty much my point. WE KNOW NOTHING. but a lot of people around here assumes that they are 4 months delayed boxed and shrink wrapped with their names on it.

[HTC EVO 3D] RVDigital:
For a mobile blog they sure are behind with the news cycle...

Like others have said, there is NOTHING in this article that hasn't already been previously stated. The cost to HTC to fully backtrack the hardware already in the channel and NOT issue the update via OTA would be a joke.

Everybody just needs to chill out, be cool. We're all gonna be a bunch of Fonzies here.

BTW, the HTC EVO 3D is in the suitcase. Ringo gets greedy like some of us on this board, doesn't know how to be cool. Then we get into these stalemates.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Like I said before I know phones are not boxed 3 months before ... i just picked up a brand new white evo with a manufactured date of 1/17/11

A year old phone and the assumption that is was boxed for 3 months and sat on the shelf for another 3 months makes since.

But i also had 3 g2x's on launch day 4/15-4/25 all with dates close to a week before that.

I know Everything is speculation up until Sprint releases a real date.

A lot of us are sick of pointless triple posted threads with the same info.

This is some what "new ****" so before getting up on that high horse and telling people to stop posted crap you don't wanna read. And you can't wait for the Dev. Section.

why don't you point the finger back at your self and ask, why the **** you keep lurking the general section of a phone that doesn't have a official release date.

Ubuntu

I would have to agree. I have done it twice now without any issues on my Ubuntu box. If you don't want to actually install Ubuntu you can run it off a thumbdrive or even a cd.

No idea what that is but I will do some googleing and give it a try. Thanks.

Why would Ubuntu make the sbf work? Also what is the process for doing the sbf with the operating system? Seems crazy but if it works, what the hell, I'll try it.
