[EVO Shift 4G General] linuxman008:
Here is my idea...

Thanks for this, just what I was looking for.

Alright, since my shift currently has a problematic battery (I've ordered a new one) I don't want to try my luck and have my phone die in the process and end up giving me a brick, so I'll post what I think we should do.

About 2 months ago, I had to root my friend's mytouch 3g slide, and it was the incredibly weird trying to root. I kept trying many guides I'd seen posted on various sites, and at the end of each, right when I would have root, it rebooted. I was perplexed for hours on end, until I discovered that htc had put in new anti-root methods that blocked the old guides. So I went and searched for a guide on how to root after getting the ota for froyo. And sure enough, I came across something I had not seen in any of the other guides, a goldcard, a file modified to be flashed to a recently for formatted sd card that allowed downgrading while in hboot, allowing me to take the eclair update file (similar to the reason I asked for the froyo one for the shift) and downgraded using this card. From their I was able to use one of the other guides I had found and they worked perfectly.

So my idea was to do the same thing. This may or may not have been tried before, but since I did not know, I decided to try anyway.

So for any of those willing to try this, pass or fail, cyanogenmod has a guide to create a goldcard on their wiki. I suggest we try it:

http:--wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Create_a_Goldcard(replace -- with //)(sorry, new user)

How this would be preformed

1. Backup an sdcard or use a new/old one you have laying around

2. Format this card in FAT32 format, or else the hboot won't read the file (This is from my personal experience from flashing new radios, they did not work while the sdcard was formated in FAT or FAT16, but worked in FAT32)

3. Make the newly formated card into a goldcard

http:--android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/(replace -- with //) this may help with the hard parts, doesn't require htc sync btw, just whatever driver need to be installed

4. Place the PG06IMG on the root of your sdcard

5. Place the sdcard in your phone, and while turning on, hold the volume down button to enter hboot.

6. hboot should pickup the PG06IMG.zip, try to scan it and then will do one of two things

6a. Say current version exceeds update package or something like that

6b. List some things that need to be "updated" and tell you to push one of the volume buttons to apply the update (I forget the correct on, just push the one it tells you to).

If the we preform this guide and we get to step 6 and have 6b happen, we are in business and get froyo back aka the ability to root back.

I am not responsible for anything that may or may not go wrong.

"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong" -I forget the source, too tired to remember lol

Sorry if this post is unclear, has typos, or anything like that, Its almost 1:30 where I am and I'm tired, Night Interwebs :-)
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
Where can I get a valid pg06img.zip? The one I tried didn't do anything... I don't think it was a valid HTC one.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bobtsunam:
The one I posted above works. I've gone back to stock with that same file multiple times on multiple phones. Ensure that your SD card is formatted fat32 only. Otherwise hboot will not recognized see the file. Try downloading again to make sure its not corrupt. If all that fails try grabbing the one found in the development forum.

<Blaze One>
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
Yes formatted my sd to fat32 and made the gold card. Downloading now. Thanks!
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
Didn't work. Attempts to load the file. But it just goes away and returns to the menu.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bobtsunam:
That fix probably doesn't work then. I just loaded it up on my phone (I didn't update), and it reads it fine.

<Blaze One>
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
It reads fine, I get the blue bar and then an orange bar. But no prompt to update and no error message.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bobtsunam:
That's the same problem x99 was having trying to figure this out. He modified the file but the new hboot that came with the ota update didn't like the PG06IMG.zip for some reason.

[EVO Shift 4G General] bobtsunam:
If you're feeling adventurous you could try the new perma-temp-root that is working on the evo3d. Its for a different phone, but its HTC running gingerbread so ya never know....

[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
I tried their temp root and it gave me an invalid device error. I think once they can get s off I'll try it
[EVO Shift 4G General] pwnyourace:
Possible root?

ok this has probably already been tried, and probably wont work just cuz its something i did..but in the perma temp root for the 3d and the sensation what it pushes to the phone to aquire that temp root shell isnt made for our phones and thats why its giving u a device error (probably already been figured out). This is the perma temp root with ev3do removed and replaced with what was pushed to root our phones on 2.2 and many other phones (just googled and the new thunderbolt is rooted with it) and the .bat edited to use that instead of ev3do. im on cm7 so i cant test it myself, well i ran it and of course it got its permissions because im rooted but also all the files got pushed as they should have and the su binary got installed which is a good sign i guess. if it works i dont take any credit for it i just replaced files. anyways heres the link lemme know if it works for anyone or if it doesnt and ill just delete this post.

[EVO Shift 4G General] wixter:
I rooted with froyo then installed gb from my sd card...and yes...its awesome. The 1st noticeable main difference is how much FASTER apps download...literally in like 3 seconds...amazing. it really is worth moviing up to gb...btw I didn't know about the ota update not bn able to root afterward thing...thank God I did it b4...whew!

I got screwed on my 4th shift, it came loaded with 2.3.3. What a difference a week makes between refurbs.
[EVO Shift 4G General] timlair:
My brand new one came with 2.3. Talk about a let down coming from having wifi tethering on my rooted pre...
[EVO Shift 4G General] stormchaser404:
Exactly my situation. I had my Pre set the way I liked it and thought this would be better. Well, not without root it's not. The only thing I didn't like about the Pre was the lack of Apps. All the developers went over to Android or iPhone and the Pre was hung out to dry. Love all the Android apps, but feel like I may have chosen very poorly on the phone. I'm really hoping the offer of some $ will at least encourage the devs to take a look back at us. :(
[EVO Shift 4G General] bproduct:
What netflix app are you using on gb ota update? I did the gb x99 stock rom on my rooted shift.
[EVO Shift 4G General] neocharles:
I haven't been following the posts as closely as I would like to have --> is it still unable to be rooted? My phone just popped up with the update again today...

Want to take my htc Evo Shift 4G to Criket from Sprint

-------------

I would like to make sure I am understanding this correctly from a straight up beginners point of view / understanding. I have a htc Evo Shift 4G That just late last week was updated to Android 2.3.3, HTC Sense Version 2.1, Software number 2.7.76.651.4, and PRI Version 60680

I was / am going to move my phone over to Cricket off of Sprint to save about $70.00 a month is charges.

It's my understanding now that I am on 2.3.3 I am PLANE STUCK for now and can't do anything at all to my device. Has anyone here going to Cricket from spring whit this device and if so what was the out come and the experience? What do i have to look forward to here? Good bad and ugly??????

Good news is that I am getting a 2nd unit in from Sprint Tuesday that hopefully has been sitting on the shelf long enough to still have older software on it to start playing with. ( we will see )

What do i need to start doing in preparation as in downloads to be ready with what I can to have this take place??? With ether phone. This only thing i have experience with it is to take a windows phone and put a Android OS on it as a 2nd boot option. it went okay but not as well as i had hope.

Thank you for your suggestions, advice and pointers in advance

That link has a temporary root which sticks until a reboot. Good for things like Adfree and Titanium but not for flashing.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rsmiller83:
I have a rooted droid incredible that was running stock froyo. I was attempting to install gingerbread on clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.8 and it did install, but after it installed it wouldn't ever get past the first white screen. I think the rom that I installed was TMartinPPC_GingerInc_v1.0. I then went back and tried to reinstall the signed froyo rom that I had before, but everytime I try I get a message that says:

It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the clockworkmod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to edify scripting (updater script and update-binary ) to create working update zip packages.

Installation aborted.

I've looked many places for a solution to this but most solutions involve actually being able to boot the device. Most posts I've seen say that it is an issue with clockworkmod 3.0.0.8 and that I need to revert to 2.X.X.X but I'm not sure if I can do that without being able to boot my device.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC EVO 3D] iTouch24:
After speaking with HTC on a few occasions, they wont be fixing issues unless they get reports from multiple users. So take a minute and give them a quick email or call to let them hear about your concerns.
​

This is an email that i have sent to HTC, just to get the ball rolling, some minor issues.

HTC EVO 3D

1- Flashlight (minor)

I do not see the flashlight application anymore in my app drawer. It has also been verified that on the original software version, this is not on the device. Why was it taken out?

(The flashlight is floating around here on XDA to get this resolved by ourselves)

2- HTC battery widget was available on the HTC EVO 4g ... why is it missing on the 3d?

3- Animation settings have been set to all in display settings BUT when i manually shut screen off with power button, it just goes black. No more of that cool retro TV off animation. That went away after the system updates on the phone.

4- Still looking for explanation on this HTC TIP

how would u add additional icons to that bottom tab like the tip states that u can?

NOW For the main reason why everyone should contact HTC​

HTC’s CEO, Peter Chou has confirmed in a quote from the HTC facebook page that they will no longer be locking the bootloaders on their devices. The bootloader is still locked on the HTC EVO 3d, can u please provide an update on when that will no longer be locked? Myself and many others are using that as a determining factor if we are going to return the device.​

HTC makes it easy and inviting to hear from their customers. That is what makes them one of the top sellers.

Email HTC​

HTC Technical Support team at 1-866-449-8358 daily from 6:00AM until 1:00AM Eastern.​

Share your thoughts on possible bugs that u have found on your device and what u contacted HTC about.​
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazfanatic:
I want to make sure I have the correct steps before I switch.

1. MyRootBackup, Titanium back up, nandroid backup

2. Copy SFR 1.1.2, Journaling on, rfs2ext4, vision kernel, and theme to zip card

3. boot to d/l mode

4. Odin EC05 modem

5. boot to cwm 3.1.0.1

6. wipe everything 3 times

Now this is where I am not sure of the chain of events I should follow.

7. Convert to ext4

8. flash kernal

9. flash rom

10. reboot to make sure all is good

11. reboot to cwm

12. flash journaling on and theme

13. reboot should be good to go?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
I recently moved from midnight EE03 back to 5.3 EC05

copied ROM to sd card

i odin'd back to ec05 stock.

booted to get gps lock

one click rooted with 3.0.2.5

booted to cwm (auto ext4)

when finished flashed ec05 rom

i prefer to start @ step 1 to be sure everything is cleared and reset.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Make sure you have cwm3.1.0.1. Installed.

1)Flash the rom (the rom converts to ext 4)

2) flash a kernel (make sure the kernel supports ext4

3) boot the phone

4) reboot into recovery

5) flash the theme.

No need to odin inless you want the ec05 modem
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazfanatic:
Sweet thanks was hoping you would see this and give me a answer. Thought I saw something in OP of ACS 1.1.2 that had to be EC05. I have 3.1.0.1 already. I have tendency to over complicate things.

Again Thanks!

I had an issue with Zune and Microsoft told me to restore NoDo from my backup. My restore failed so I had to search from quite some time to find a ROM.

This ROM got me back to NoDo with no problems and everything was great but I cannot get my data services back. After a couple of hours, I took it to the Sprint store and they couldn't figure it out either. They ended up ordering a replacement device that's going be a few days before it gets here.

Is there something that I may have missed or done incorrectly? I'm not trying to flash it again and I'm getting an Error: 226 on every ROM I've tried since then.
