Sorry, I don't believe anyone has been able to crack the OTA gingerbread update, so for now I don't think there is any possible way to get this done. I'm sure someone will figure it out soon though, so give it some time.
[General Questions and Answers] ridegixxers:
now that root is possible for 2.3.3. does anyone know how to unroot and turn s-on? i just rooted yesterday but decided to return the 4g and get the photon, but i need to unroot and turn s-on just in case.

fyi- my 30th day is this upcoming monday 8-22-11.

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] ruben1221:
That's funny.... No s on yet. But hey happy bday bro
[General Questions and Answers] ridegixxers:
22nd is last day before i can refund, bought the evo 4g from radioshack 7-22-11. 8-22-11= 30th day

thanks for the wishes (ruben...), alittle late (about 6 months late) but hey, better late than never! lol

how would i know when s-on has been discovered? would sprint even care if "s" is off, but has orginal rom (2.3.3. ota)?

sank u
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
I don't really think Sprint cares about s-off if you're getting the phone serviced, but returning it may be different. I know Sprint services rooted phones (it's a part of their policy), but they may not be too thrilled about getting the phone back s-off. Especially since Revolutionary installs that glaringly obvious 6.16 hboot. I haven't actually ran revolutionary, but my theory on getting s-on would be to do this:

Downgrade your radio to an older version. Radios are available here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485. This is necessary to run the s-on tool.

Download the s-on tool from the unrevoked site and flash it in recovery. If it errors because of the radio version, try an older radio.

Download the 3.70 RUU. You may be able to use the 4.24 one, but you want it to replace the bootloader and I don't know if the 6.16 hboot is viewed as the 2.16 hboot or whatever, and you don't want the RUU to skip the bootloader change.

You can run an RUU from your computer as an exe or you can download a PC36IMG of the RUU. If you're s-on it won't allow the downgrade, so you may have to do it from the computer. I guess you could run the PC36IMG RUU, reflash recovery, downgrade the radio if necessary (I don't know if RUUs flash radios, if they do then the 3.70 RUU should give you a compatible radio) flash the s-on zip, then RUU again.

I don't even know if this will work, to be honest. It should, but I don't know what the 6.16 bootloader does differently than official ones. I've heard of RUUs skipping the hboot flash for those with 6.16, which is why I suggested running the 3.70 RUU.

Now that I think about it, I think you have to run the RUU first, then reflash recovery and follow my steps. Once you're s-on you won't be able to RUU an older version, and all RUUs are older if you have the revolutionary hboot. Hmmph. I'm rambling, but if you want to try it then I think that would be your best bet.

Let me know if it works, I'm sure others would love to know.
[General Questions and Answers] amow24:
Hey, I have the same issue. I'm not up against a deadline but I rooted an Evo I bought secondhand with Revolutionary in an attempt to solve the random reboot issue it has. Didn't do jack (pretty sure it's a hardware problem) so I'm returning it to the guy. He won't know/care if it's S-OFF but I wanted to return it the way it came.

I'll try the steps outlined by plainjane below and let you know how it goes.

Also, your deadline would be 8/21 if you bought it 7/22...
[General Questions and Answers] amow24:
So, I flashed the unrevoked S-ON zip with the latest radios, but I didn't get an error. It said it was installed successfully but I still have S-OFF. I then downgraded my radios to the 11-19 combo zip. unrevoked flashed without error again but I still have S-OFF. Any thoughts? Thanks.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Lttlwing16:
Looking for some assistance on getting a themed app to behave properly. It's a keyboard (Flext9) I downloaded from the Amazon Market for free as a promotion (normally 5.00). I have NO intention on distributing this at all. It's solely for me, and as a learning experience.

This is my first go round at themeing..so if I don't understand what your telling me..go easy..

With the help of DroidXCon, nitsuj17 (how to write up), Chopperdog, Gunnermike, and google, I figured out how to decompile, edit the xml's, recompile, edit the images in gimp, re-draw the patches with draw9patch for the .9's, re-compile .9's with xUltimate, replace the images with 7zip.

At this point if I sign the apk, it breaks like two or three of the functions and robs the xml edits, and .9 edits. It basicallly screws things up royally. (I have used multiple signing tools and they all do the same thing)

The way I get it to function is to install the stock flext9 keyboard, overwrite the app file in data\app with the themed one, change the permissions and owner using root explorer, and I'm good. It's fully functional and themed appropriately. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21063130/SC20110621-233700.png.

The only thing with this is I get an error message when I try to change a setting in preferences [Amazon Marketplace something..Error with the application. Please re-download from Amazon Marketplace] here's the logcat of that error. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21063130/logcat.txt

It only happens once, then not again.

The REAL problem is when I reboot the phone the app is removed from keyboard and languages in settings, and the option in input method is completely gone. However, the app is still installed. The file is still in data\app and if I try to re-install, it prompts me to overwrite the "installed" app. (There is a already a version of this installed. Do you want to overwrite?). However, the app name has changed in the settings-manage applicatons-All from Flext9 to com.nuance.flext9.input-1.apk.. (the file name in data\app) which is different.

Trying to get this to work... more from a "I want to conquer this thing" than I reallly want this keyboard..haha..

any help would be greatly appreciated..

thanks in advance.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
If you cant get it signed correctly you could use ninjamorph app to decompile, swap out the stock files with your themed .png and .xml files.

The Good: decompiles, recompiles and swaps out the app for you without having to resign it.

The Bad: You have to swap out files one by one, it can take awhile.

I wouldnt use it to theme anything but it works great for swapping out files you have already modded. I used it on my TW4 launcher. Was really easy to pull my modded files from dropbox to SD and swap em out..

If you have a hard time with it. Check out YouTube.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Lttlwing16:
yo thanks man...I hadn't tried that yet..but I'll give it a go...

I am assuming I would want to swap out the .9's with the themed/re-patched/recompiled .9's I have correct?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Yes.... Especially the .9's! Ninjamorph will give you some options as far a resizing the .png's but as you prob already guesssed dont try it with .9 images. Just swap em out 1 for 1.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Lttlwing16:
I thought so..thanks..

Yeah..it's locking up...when I try to select the new image to replace with...force closed twice..

Tell me this doctor...why does the 'values' folder with the xml files I edited not show up when you "open archive" with 7zip or when the .apk is extracted with ninjamorph? Hard to change if it ain't there.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Lttlwing16:
perhaps thats the wrong xml to edit?

EDIT: Go around 1..just changing out the .9's = FC sandwich... grrr...this app is like fort knox..
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Now, your gonna make me buy this damn keyboard just for the challenge of theming it....
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Bubbadogg14:
U should got it wen it was free lol...its a nice keyboard I like it better than swype actually its just ugly
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Lttlwing16:
haha..you don't have to man...unless you want too..

com.nuance.flext9.input-1.apk...decompile with apktool...file res\values\colors.xml ---styles.xml--edit..recompile...7zip open archive..same files no where to be found.. where do these go?..do the values get pushed to all the other xml files..?

Maybe this is the problem.

When I sign the apk..it seems like the .9's take, but the xml edits go to hell..and I lose the trace input function (hmmm...I edited the xml for that in the disappearing values\colors.xml file...) and the voice command function is broke as well. (connection error).. HOWEVER, with a davlik wipe, fix permissions in cwm, the app is still there after reboot....(this has been the standard with apk manager opt 16 and autosign tool)

Still unsuccesfull with ninjamorph
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thefunkbot:
if signing is the problem then all you need to do is decompile the apk, make all your edits, and then recompile. Then to bypass the signing just extract the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml from the original unthemed apk and add them back into your newly compiled apk.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Lttlwing16:
My thoughts exactly...and how I ended up here..: )
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Sorry, ive been busy updating my themes. Some apk's like phone.apk, swype.apk and camera.apk are very tempramental when it comes to modding them. I these .apk's you have to drag and drop your modded files into place. Im not sure if that is the problem tho as these .apk's will usually show up in app/drawer and even will launch but will FC upon opening them To be honest im a little stumped on this one. Looks like you did everything right, so im not to sure whats going on there.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Last resort you can try the signapk app in market, its also FREE, I must admit tho it has only worked for me once with the TW Program monitor.......
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Lttlwing16:
Thanks grainosand..

Funkbot got me fixed up in IRC..

Had to place the Android Manifest and META INF in file and push to the system/app

It now sticks on reboot..BUT the voice feature is broke.. grr..

Hii guys..

I am new to this forum.

I need to root my HTC DESIRE HD (gingerbread), with s/w number 2.37.720.3.

But I have learnt from many other sites and other threads in this forum that

Desire HD must be downgraded first.

There are ways to downgrade for s/w number 2.36.XX.X, but couldn't find any for 2.37.

Hope some one kind enough could help me out.

Thanks in advance guys..

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3x1at1on:
I am afraid you are stuck without root my friend, you cannot temp root 2.37 with gingerbreak and hence downgrade is impossible at present. I guess you will have to wait for HTC to open their bootloaders and then flash a custom rom with root in it.

No problem, i'm not an expert just trying to help. This might be because the PD98IMG.zip is corrupt. You can try checking its MD5 checksum, there should be one by the page you downloaded it.
