[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DDiaz007:
The only advice you can be given is to purchase from a reliable retailer. Once you get the card, you need to check if it runs as advertised. If it is a class 10, check if it reads and writes at class 10 speeds. If it doesn't, well it is safe to say it is fake.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cranbiz:
If the price of the card is more than 15-20% less than the average from the major internet retailers, then I would think twice about it. Also stay away from Off Brands. Stick to SanDisk, Patriot, A Data, etc. Expect to pay anywhere from $60-$100 depending on vendor and class card.

CompUSA has a SanDisk 32GB class 2 for $55. The Patriot 32GB class 10 can be had for $75 ($90 with a $15 rebate)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
ONLY buy from authorized retailers, like NewEgg. If you aren't sure if the place you are trying to buy from is authorized, check the manufacturer's site.

NEVER EVER buy memory cards off ebay, even if they claim to be new. It's so easy to take a 2gb card, paint a number 3 on it, and make it look like a 32gb card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] culua:
I make sure I stay away from eBay.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Yeah, it's really as simple as buying from a reputable source (not ebay) and following the "if it's too good to be true" principle on price.

i fell for a fake again

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-32GB-Mi...291177?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f0d1309e9

the posting looks legit, it even comes with a package, lol

he ships fast, i ordered it friday and it showed up via usps this morning, but i was a fake.

it was a 32GB microsd card for $30
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m20120:
What was fake about it. Was it not really a 32GB card? There are not really any other claims (brand, class, etc) in the posting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
that's obviously a fake. It's not a name brand (and as far as I know, sandisk and kingston are the only two brands with a 32gb card right now). Its in a generic package, and there is no name labels on the card itself.

Again, do NOT buy 32gb cards on ebay, its just not worth it. ONLY buy from authorized retailers.

hey guys i am finding a live wallpaper which looks like the wallpaper below..

anyone ever seen such LWP anywhere or have it..??:confused:

Looks like the Google nexus lwp..

And that one is free so at least try it
[HTC Incredible S] NikonElite:
That one is in the cm7 rom..

Nexus wallpaper and you can change the colour settings

As you all are aware, the amazing developers at TeamWin were able to find a way to allow us to temporarily root our devices.

If you would like to play around with apps that use Superuser, then there are a few more things you would need to do.

WARNING - DO THIS AT YOUR OWN PERIL. I cannot provide extensive support. What i can provide is a way for applications that use Superuser such as Titanium Backup to recognize the root.

Since this is all temporary, you will only have access until the next time the device decides to clean house! Then, you will need to reboot, reroot, and rerun the script. This is only if you want to kind of fool around for a bit.

What you need:

Rooted with Fre3vo

Understand how to use ADB

Superuser.apk & Su

Titanium Backup

Busybox

fixsu.sh

1. adb push fixsu.sh /data/local/tmp

2. adb push su /data/local/tmp

3. adb push busybox /data/local/tmp

4. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh

5. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/su

6. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/busybox

7. Install Superuser.apk

8. Install Titanium Backup

9. adb shell

# cd /data/local/tmp

# ./fixsu.sh

--- It's okay to see this error ---

rm failed for /system/bin/su Read-only file system

Hopefully when you are all done, you can open up Superuser and TitaniumBackup and you will see something like this:

Props to: Vampirefo for the shell script.

[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Worked perfect! Thanks for the write up!
[HTC EVO 3D] dadoc04:
Much appreciated
[HTC EVO 3D] Rakeesh_j:
adb is really quite trivial. The main commands you need to worry about are push, which lets you upload a file to the phone, pull, which lets you download a file from the phone, and shell, which lets you send commands to the linux bash shell (or is it just sh? doesn't matter they're both very similar.) Adb push and pull work like this:

adb pull <source file on the phone>

adb push <source file on your pc> <destination directory on the phone>

So say for example you wanted to upload su to a writable location (in this case, /data/local/tmp,) you'd execute a command like this:

adb push su /data/local/tmp

adb shell with parameters after it will execute a shell command with that parameter. Or you can just do 'adb shell' and it'll bring up an interactive bash prompt where you can simply enter commands without having to type 'adb shell' at each line.

Now bash itself is a little more technical, but for the purposes of this, you only need to understand a few things: In linux, you need to flag a file with an executable permission attribute before you can execute it. This is what the 'chmod 777 <filename>' command does. So say you want to make su executable:

# chmod 777 su

And unless you set a PATH= environment variable (don't worry if you don't know what that is) you need to specify an absolute path to the executable in order to execute it. A simple dot (.) refers to the current directory. So if you are already in /data/local/tmp, you can say for example do this:

# ./su

Otherwise if you were in another directory, it would have to be:

# /data/local/tmp/su

As far as changing directories, bash is similar to DOS, aka windows command prompt. Just cd <directory name>. cd .. changes to one directory up in the heirarchy. Or you can specify an absolute path to switch to another directory without hopping through other ones first, e.g:

cd /data/local/tmp
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Also noticed you can only use Root one time before it dies. Example: I tried to remove Amazon MP3 crapware and it removed but Superuser had to force close. Then no more exploit. Did I do something wrong or is that just the way it is for now?

Yes i know crapware comes back after reboot. Just sayin...
[HTC EVO 3D] Scoop24:
Yea I opened titanium backup once. Worked great when I tried to reopen it superuser force close. And TB couldn't find the root again.
[HTC EVO 3D] p3tr0s:

[HTC EVO 3D] p3tr0s:
ok thank you guys i finally go it to give me root. i still can't get titanium backup to come up though..... it tells me that it's not rooted yet adb tells me otherwise. and i have superuser installed.

edit: so after about the 5th attempt it finally went through. so far it's working flawlessly and superuser isn't force closing. i've been able to delete some bloat and now i'm doing a full batch backup of the current system. i can't wait until full root access but this is definitely working for me now! xda rocks!
[HTC EVO 3D] doublecheese:
Superuser had a known problem and it crashed most of the times with the Incredible S , to solve this someone modified the superuser and it wouldn't crash anymore.

This is how we get the SU working on the Incredible S by then.

I am thinking a patched SU would do the trick . The patched SU has a version number of v9.9.9 or something like this.

A user madmaxx82 at the Incredible S forums knows very well about this issue and you guys can ask him for a patched SU version and then try again...

SU should work flawlessly after this patch.

Thank you!! I won't have to go back throw all my games I haven't beaten yet!

And tasker! My tasks!! Yay!
[HTC EVO 3D] panamaniac:
Ya so far my experience has been:

rooted the first time and busybox said i was rooted but superuser crashes and titanium says non-root (but adb says i'm rooted)

second time, i fixed the superuser problem by uninstalling then simply installing from Market...when it installed it said I should get the latest binary, i did, and it crashed zero times since then...the problem at that point was that superuser then allowed ITSELF, but busybox now said it WAS'NT rooted...and TB still no good.

SO: so far Superuser is 1 for 2, same with busybox, and TB is 0 for two.

I'll try again and see if I can just install superuser from market as a substitute for that step...or else maybe I can get the latest APK from market and then install vial adb just like your post says.

QUESTION: What's the point of the fixsu? that last step has given me weird responses every time (sometimes no reaction from adb, other times it seems to try to run busybox in every single /system folder....hmm)

OH, QUICK NOTE FOR NOOBS: OP's two steps that start "INSTALL..."...should read "adb install" .......or at least that's how it worked for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] p3tr0s:
My experience is this.... Titanium works for restoringbut not really all that well for uninstalling, after rebooting I still have the icons and bs for all the stock sprint apps like telenav, amazon, and sprint tv. I also couldn't get root permissions for adfree either. I did notice that I had root until I hit kill all in atk so that seems to have something to do with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Androidious:
Yes it does have to do with system processes because a process in there is causing the system to "clean" itself and freshly run the correct processes for the system to function. Some of those functions are modified in this mod. Thus, as soon as the modified processes die, the unmodified processes start up again. Hopefully that makes sense :-P

[HTC EVO 3D] unknown_owner:
Those who have no programming knowledge should wait for simple method to root rather than try this at its infancy stage. While root is getting simplified, there is no solution for unbricking ur phone...yet. so if you type a wrong command and screw up your phone, you may never get root. Just be patient and read and enjoy the weekend.

[HTC EVO 3D] urcboss07:
Me too, I believe I rooted mine but when I click on superuser or titanium backup, it says device is not rooted. When we rooted the device, we do adb shell, it has # sign. It should have been rooted, right? But when I boot the device, S-On still on. Should security should be like this S-Off? Any idea?
[HTC EVO 3D] aaron130:
My opinion is if you really dont know much about rooting your device to just wait it out till will have FULL root, cuz you really arent gonna get anything from doing this temp root. I myself know about root but am just waiting till the awesome devs get full root which i would say wont be too long now.
[HTC EVO 3D] robnelle:
Anybody know a way to get the temp root to work with MSL reader?
[HTC EVO 3D] panamaniac:
So yeah, that's the issue. At this point I'm too tired to try a fourth time but it was mighty fun!

(1) I'm impatient (2) I'm foolhardy (3) I like danger.

The only moment of fear I've had so far was the first time I gave up and booted the phone afresh...the home screen was totally different!!!...but mine's been doing that on it's own ANYway, so...

QUESTION: since at least once I was successful in getting busybox running--when I had it running i installed the files--both to /xbin AND to /bin (for good measure). Do those "extra" files disappear when the phone "unroots" itself? I'm guessing not...

Oh well, it's like putting your car back together and you're missing a few screws...no biggie!
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Possible fixes: get the app on the market called busybox installer and do it. In TB, hit the problems button?

BANG! from my shooter...
[HTC EVO 3D] J.eremy:
The script to fix Su is doing a couple things.. it is setting the correct permissions for files, remounting the system as read/write instead of read only, copying the binaries to the right location, making some links to other folders and having busybox install its links for the tools.

I have made a script that does all of this with one click and if I find some time to clean it up a bit ill upload it. It's just pieces of everything all smacked into one but it greatly simplifies things.

[HTC EVO 3D] panamaniac:
Dude what did you do differently? I'd love to get TB running so I can actually proceed with some confidence...

[HTC EVO 3D] antihum4n:
I believe the reason you're crapware comes back and tb and other app say you don't have root is because this is a temp root. Once you restart or power off you will lose root. Agrabren said that in his post last night.
[HTC EVO 3D] charlie hustle:
IM going to thank you for this post. I have a bit of programming skills, but i know i dont feel like troubleshooting of even chancing my phone being bricked. I know XDA welcome the new users here, but do a search first on how to do this and that, if its too complicated to do then be patient. Its not the end of the world if you dont root this weekend.
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
this has nothing to do with S-OFF, (and i dont want to get into the root/S-OFF debate), this is a temp root.. meaning it is very temporary, reboot takes it away, some people claom that even with none reboot it is going away.. so yes very very awesome, but if you dont know what you are doing you should probably still stay away until they have refined it a little..

everyone just relax a little bit, i know we are all excited that we finally have a root option, but as its been said before if you dont know much about adb, you should probably stay away for now.. just relax and let it come..:)
[HTC EVO 3D] ViViDboarder:
You guys are all probably realizing now what we've known for a while...

THE CHANGES TO /SYSTEM DO NOT STICK.

After some period of time it is dropping rw on /system and you are losing any changes (like the su binary in /system/bin or /system/xbin)

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Root explorer cannot be "fixed" so to speak at this time. Root explorer needs read write permissions to /system directory in order for all features to work. The devs are still working on FULL root. Just have faith and be patient homie. They'll git er done ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] firestetz:
ok I can get su in /system/bin, I can get busy box to install in either xbin or bin, but still cant get titanium backup to work and after trying different things system kicks out su but still shows # in shell so i think there is something with super user that needs to be updated but i do understand this is a temp root so it might be an issue of the root. But I'll keep trying :] having fun and learning alot, all the dev here made it to easy with the og evo

8. Install Titanium Backup

I went to market and installed Titanium Backup

Am I doing something wrong, apart from that everything worked as explained in the first thread, but when I run the Titanium Backup it says I am not rooted !!!

Normally as far as I remember, Superuser should kick in and allow Titanium Backup but SU doesn`t kick in ?
[HTC EVO 3D] will75:

I think temp root does not stick, it always go back to unrooted. I have to wait for permanet root or something that can stick. It could be the reason because after the phone rooted, I checked the Shooter XC SHIP S-ON RL is still "ON", that's why it causes the root to reset back to unrooted. I am not sure it is the cause, any idea?
