How hard is it to stay on topic. Take this crap to general.

Sent from my 3rd Dimension of Evolution
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
I know off topic but refurbs did not come with 2.3. My refurb one month old came w 2.2. They now have new models that have 2.3
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
Is teamwin still going to pursue unlocking themselves? Or are they just going to await the unlock from HTC? The reason I ask is because they posted to HTC stating that their announcement was overdue and they would like to be kept posted. This sounds like a wait posture to me but I don't want to make any assumptions.

If we are going to wait, is the recommendation to take updates? Because I am also hearing that it might be a must in order to get the S-OFF update. My biggest concern is that they might give us the unlock, but provide the carrier with a kill switch. I don't want to take any update which would provide that.
[HTC EVO 3D] VoXHTC:
Carriers with a kill switch will end up hemorrhaging customers like a ruptured artery. Not to mention the 3 million phones they'll have in the RMA bins... Mine for one.

My phone, MY control. Period.

"Fre3Dom is still under active development."

Posted after he retweeted the HTC facebook link
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
I wasn't suggesting a kill switch that would brick... but rather, a switch to turn S back ON and or a second level equivalent (maybe preventing root).

There is no other logical delay for the deployment of S-OFF.
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
Actually, this post says it all... they are not working on S-OFF:

--from twitter

agrabren Kevin Bruckert

I'm not halting Fre3Dom. I'm finish up Fre3vo^2. If rumor is false, Fre3Dom is still in dev. If it's true, HTC gives us our Fre3Dom.

--

Clearly, the rumor is true, so they are just going to wait for HTC to do it. This means we will all have to accept the OTAs.
[HTC EVO 3D] smoochiezz24:
Hmm, had to reread that. But he did say that he is not halting. Maybe HTC might have to give it to us first but I think they might be exploring different options. Possibly so we won't have to forfeit our warranty.

His latest tweet actually said that Fre3dom is still in Active development.
[HTC EVO 3D] goodelyfe:
you quote and post an older tweet?

so ya disregard a 'fresher' tweet that says fre3Dom is under active development?

im pretty sure the devs dont give a **** about a 2 month down the road unlock.
[HTC EVO 3D] MontAlbert:
yeah - i was thinking the same thing- he posted that one a few days back. Then the HTC announcement and about 1hr later he posts that fre3dom is still under active development- hmmm... doing the maths and putting things in the correct timeline i would assume they are still working on fre3dom...
[HTC EVO 3D] igotroot:
Trust me, Sprint has an issue with this, big time. Can you imagine them getting an influx of bricked phones.....due to "warranty" covered issues ? LMAO!!

They are going to have Sprint input, whereas a Sprint store tech/salesman can detect a modified phone. I'm sure the new update will unlock the bootloader, And, notify sprint which phone/account has a mod phone. They will send a waiver of warranty acknowledgement that we will have to accept in order to download and accept the update. There is no way sprint is going to honor this unlocked model for a warranty exchange and neither will HTC.

That's why I prefer Free3dom

Samsung seems to be headed in a path to gather our business, but again, we shall all find out soon enough.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
There won't be any voiding of warranties. Warranties cover factory defects, rooting and bricking a phone is not a factory/manufacturer defect.

[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
mods please delete this post so we don't have 5 replies for silence to every 1 off topic comment.
[HTC EVO 3D] markgolly:
Well, its all in how they 'run' the warranty program (and, by extension, the equipment replacement program). In my experience, HTC and Sprint simply refuse to honor their equipment agreements - and that the equipment replacement is a complete joke. So I think HTC's so-called boot unlocking is just hot air, and (if it isn't) that HTC and Sprint will take the opportunity to void any and all agreements possible by the phone's owner unlocking the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
I came to this thread and seen there was a whole new page of posts hoping something may be coming and all i see is talk that belongs in the general forum this whole page.

Why are you guys discussing sprint warranty and stuff in this thread?
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
You guys don't get it... HTC is not going to release an update to S-Off the bootloader. They will just remove the encryption to make it possible for us to S-Off it. HTC wouldn't release an update that would void everyone's warranties... It is possible to root now even with S-On.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
Rooting did NOT break your power button. Your conscious decision to spend that time in recovery flashing ROM's is what led to your broken power button. It is possible to be rooted and spend 0 time in recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] Kalash:
Back, closer to on topic... The two quoted tweets day the same thing...

Freedom is still in development.

The first continues to say that if the rumor is true, great! We'll have root for sure in august.

However, if the rumor proves false, and root not provided, it doesn't matter because we aren't stoping development just because if the announcement.

There is only so much clarification you can do in 140.

I think I'm with the crowd asking for silence in this thread.

Is freedom still being developed? Yes.

Nothing more needs to be said about it, unless you're contributing an idea or making an official announcement.

There are other places to discuss rumors and concerns about rumored ota updates and warranties.

thanks for the direction in advance.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helpme:
Ok, I figured out that I can just flash strightly from booting into CWM, but which rom should I use?

Cm_core_full-118.zip or update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed.zip?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AidenM:
always use the nightlies (the ones without update_) because every day or so there is a new one with new features. Always have the latest on by checking at this link:

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=encore
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADude:
Use "update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed.zip"

because the nightlies still have major problems that are not solved.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nburnes:
A. OP this is the incorrect forum to post this.

B. At least use the newest RC so you can have deep sleep. (update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-encore-signed.zip)

C. What major problem does a nightly have?...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helpme:
thanks for all the replies.

I know there are still a lot of debate on stable or nightly build but the basic idea is to flash the CM7 rom zip directly using Clockwork Recovery, right? I just downloaded a copy of update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-encore-signed.zip and cm_encore_full-118.zip. I am trying to flash them (separately) on top of my rooted nook color 1.0.1 using the Clockwork recovery that has been installed on the nook color but got the same error message:

assert failed.......

E:Error in /sdcard/cm_encore.....

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

Do any of you know why??
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helpme:
update: problem solved, can't use the Colorwork recovery that was installed on the nook color, need to use the one on SD card.

[Thunderbolt General] drdiatom:
I've heard rumors that Verizon will be sending over the air (OTA) updates around July 6 or July 7.

However, I am really getting sick of the bloatware and HTC Sense on the phone and would like to remove it as soon as possible.

Do rooted phones receive OTA updates? Can the OTA updates mess up the root?

Will it be more difficult to root after the OTA update?
[Thunderbolt General] Nate14:
Best thing to do is root now. The devs are extremely good at getting the newest ota in a rooted and flashable form when its released.
[Thunderbolt General] sidsixseven:
/agree - if you are going to root, might as well root now before applying an OTA

The other thing is that these rumors (and that's all they are) will just keep you in limbo forever while you don't take any action because you are waiting on something that isn't even real. So screw the rumors and just do what you want today and make the most of it.
[Thunderbolt General] sithdroid2187:
Best option is to root, it may be rumored to be out then, but VZW is really bad about getting out updates.
[Thunderbolt General] JayBat:
Root + custom roms/kernels out now are still better than what the OTA will offer.

Root now. Root now. Root. Now.
[Thunderbolt General] PhillyCheez:
Is there a deodexed version of the stock Rom? I can't find it.
[Thunderbolt General] Gnoop:
7/6 now? First it was 6/30, now 7/6? I'll be surprised if it happens.
[Thunderbolt General] joshnichols189:
7/7 is when our mobile hotspots are supposed to go inactive, and they were going to do this with an update, even if it is just an update to remove unlimited hotspot
[Thunderbolt General] Gnoop:
Ah right. Brain not fully functional today. I was thinking of the supposed Gingerbread OTA rumors floating around.
[Thunderbolt General] DRGilroy:
1. Don't listen to rumors about the next release date of official updates for our phone.

2. Rooted phones running custom ROMs don't receive OTA updates.

3. An unrooted phone that receives the next OTA update may or may not have to wait for a new rooting method.

Hope this helps
[Thunderbolt General] VolDroid:
The reasons above were why I went ahead and rooted my phone. I wasn't having any problems with it but didn't want to get locked out of rooting in case the coming update f*ed our phones like their previous one did.
[Thunderbolt General] SanxDiegoxSand:
Root now. Been rooted since the day after I bought the device and absolutely no problems for me.
[Thunderbolt General] a1exus:
where did u read about ota on july 6/7??
[Thunderbolt General] magnafides:
Don't be surprised if Verizon delays the OTA and extends the free mobile hotspot yet again. I say root.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
only thing that sucks is that rootiong on the thunderbolt requires wiping your phone= setting up the damn phone again...
[Thunderbolt General] PhillyCheez:
Honestly, its the downgrade you have to do that sucks. I really don't want to start zombies vs plants all over.
[Thunderbolt General] open1your1eyes0:
It is very possible that the Gingerbread does in fact silently bring the hotspot removal update as well. Seeing as how they were promised around the same time period this sounds to be true.

2. Correction: Rooted phones still recieve OTA updates but under no circumstance should you accept the update; always cancel or you will not be able to boot your OS again.

3. According to the root method for the Thunderbolt posted by jcase, it doesn't matter what update you're on because during the root process you fully downgrade to a pre-stock RUU. A new unsupported update will not affect this and you will always be able to use that root method no matter what update you are on.

During the root method by jcase that last part of the process is that you reupdate to a rooted stock ROM. And I also confirmed that you can even flash the rooted MR2 update as well (currently the latest update for the Thunderbolt of which I am personally using right now).
[Thunderbolt General] CryForJustice:
I highly suggest rooting the phone before the updates.

I personally love having purchased System App Remover from the Market. $2 for a fantastic App back-up and a seamless app remover.

I use it to remove bloatware or other silly apps that sometimes are put on ROMs or added tweaks.

Seriously couldn't be happier since I rooted my phone.
[Thunderbolt General] altimax98:
I would would always root before OTA, sometimes am update makes it hard to root again for a while.

Also I don't know how CWR works on this phone but on all my old devices it would automatically block OTA updates.
[Thunderbolt General] joshnichols189:
It still does
[Thunderbolt General] migueltherocker:
To flash that pre-release RUU, you first need to gain root using psneuter. They may (and most probably will, just ask Attn1, from the AT&T dev crowd) close the hole that psneuter exploits, which in turn allows us to flash the pre-release RUU and upgrade to the patched Release RUU.
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
Long story short.....ROOT!!!!!
[Thunderbolt General] ibsk8:
+1
[Thunderbolt General] crazyhtown:
There's not an ota needed. There is a feature code that blocks the mobile hot spot. Similar to iPhone...

The Mr2 was pushed to mid July now, which is a seprate issue
[Thunderbolt General] crazyhtown:
Oh and the people that think the update coming is GB...ROFL no.. not even close to happening anytime soon.
[Thunderbolt General] open1your1eyes0:
Bold statement that means nothing without evidence
[Thunderbolt General] DaRkL3AD3R:
Honest to God great advice.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
Yeah, that's the same reason I'm thinking of selling my DS7. PIA for games to be on 2 devices. Would be nice if you could upload your save state so you could resume on different device. I am not starting contract killers over for a third time.
[Thunderbolt General] Ronsa:
Rumors are just that. Root Root Root by all means Root. Got my TB late on a Friday afternoon. Rooted that night. Personal preference - I want control of my tools.
[Thunderbolt General] KidJoe:
That kind of what I was thinking...

Same way they enable/disable a "feature" on 3G handsets, would be how they turn off the TB's MHS... i..e remove the "MHS PROMO" feature from my account...

I mean, if VZW pushed a SOFTWARE UPDATE to the phone which BLOCKED the use of the MHS feature for everyone... what would VZW have to do for those who legitimately wanted to subscribe to it?? Or those who want add subscribe while traveling, and unsubscribe when returning home?

Maybe a "software update" to Verizon's systems... but not a "software update" to the phone itself.
[Thunderbolt General] techspecs:
Verizon can keep their hotspot. Wireless tether (for root) or Barnacle are all you need.
[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
Also it is possible for them to patch the hole we use to disable emmc write protection so we can get s-off. So yeah an OTA could most definitely cause the current root method to stop working.

So i'm new to the forum, and i've been reading around a few days. This is my first attempt into rooting, I just got a Thunderbolt a couple weeks ago.

My question is, i received an OTA update not long after i got the phone, and my software version is now 1.13.605.7. I was reading the 1-click root method for Windows thread and saw where it was a prerequisite to have 605.6 or 605.9. A few users said they had success with 605.7 but i want to get some info before i start the process. Like i said, i'm totally new to this and need all the guidance i can get, lol.

Hy to everyone...

In my app i have a service that updates the db at scheduled times.

I have also some home widgets that shows some data from that db.

At the moment the service db update is called with an allarm, and the widget update is called every 30 mins as written in widget xml.

I would like to call widget update from that service only when realy needed and put 0 at update time in widget xml, but i have no reference to them.

How to do?

I know obviously the widget class, can i update them all without knowing the ids?

How to ghet the correct appwidgetmanager in my service?

(if needed, knowing the ids would not be a problem)

Can someone help me?

thanks a lot...

[GUIDE] Fre3vo / Fre3dom Official Thread (Discontinued)

#teamwin is proud to announce the Fre3vo tool for the HTC EVO 3D and Sensation!

What is Fre3vo: Fre3vo is a temp-root acquiring tool, allowing users access to a root shell on their HTC EVO 3D and Sensation devices.

What is Fre3dom: Fre3dom was the name of the tool being developed to enable S-OFF on the EVO 3D and Sensation. This has been abandon since AlphaRevX has announced on twitter that they've had the devices open for weeks now.

Fre3vo can be downloaded here: http://tinyw.in/1lJ

Prereqs:

1. You must be able to push files via adb to your device.

2. You must know what a shell is.

Instructions:

1. Download the fre3vo zip

2. Unzip the fre3vo binary

3. Push the binary via 'adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp'

4. Change the permissions via 'adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo'

5. Run the binary via 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo'

If all goes well, you'll be kicked back to your computer's command prompt. (Some may get more messages, but it seems the Sensation buffers the stderr more than the EVO 3D)

run 'adb shell' and you should have a '#' prompt instead of '%'.

This is temporary root. A reboot will clobber it. There are many threads with scripts for doing what the community has dubbed "perma-temp root", which lets you run all your root-based apps.
[HTC Sensation] agrabren:
A big question: SU

We know, there are issues. This is for developers to get us our root apps working. We're already cranking into ways to get this going... Really!

And this is why we released the binary in this form... Because as a whole, we can come together and find ways to do everything we want with these phones. Mounting new partitions, or linking in other partitions with write. These are ways being explored to get apps to play nicer with temp-root.
[HTC Sensation] agrabren:
This worked for me after getting temp root...

ubuntu$ adb remount

ubuntu$ adb shell

# remount -o remount,suid /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 /data

# mkdir /data/bin

# exit

ubuntu$ adb push busybox /data/bin

ubuntu$ adb push su /data/bin

ubuntu$ adb install superuser.apk

ubuntu$ adb shell

# ln -s /data/bin/su /system/xbin/su

# ln -s /data/bin/busybox /system/bin/busybox

After that, I was able to fight with Titanium Backup and it loaded successfully.
