Thanks! I just did that before I came back to check for answer and it goes through ok....

So I get my Root prompt, but I cant seem to get Busybox to install since it keps saying you need root... I was reading, This explot isnt working with the latest OTA updates?

*EDIT* - I managed to get busybox installed, so this must work with the 24th OTA - Its cool, but I will do more when we can have RW for a longer period - Its a pain now, but still great to play with
[HTC EVO 3D] bignibb:
Can these scripts be run from the phone using a terminal emulator?
[HTC EVO 3D] jadoe05:
Hence the term "temp" root.

;)
[HTC EVO 3D] urcboss07:
Look right, but does the root stick when you reset the phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] SleepyS40:
Where did you get that keyboard from? I've been looking but cannot seem to find it anywhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] SLOSifl:
Looks like SwiftKey, and has nothing to do with rooting the EVO 3D.

I also used a terminal app to temporarily get root, but it suffers from the same problem as the adb shell. Eventually it will revert to non-root, however the terminal app actually displays the $ prompt whereas adb will still use # after the root has reverted.
[HTC EVO 3D] progenocide:
I got it going pushed fre3vo first then the files in this guide, but it only allows me access one root app at a time then su force closes.... i can clear out the su app data and i can use it again afterwards on another app.

I guess what i'm trying to say i can't open more then one root app at a time like having titanium backup and shoot me at the same time or else su force closes...
[HTC EVO 3D] sn0b0ard:
I just tried this and SuperOneClick does work with fre3vo. You can't write to /system/xbin though.
[HTC EVO 3D] Adel_2:
I am not a novice in adb but I am not an expert either. I followed instruction above to the T but still couldn't get to the root command #

I am pasting my results here. If anyone have a clue about where I might be making a mistake.

Thank you progenocide, it worked after doing that first. Now I got the root command# but I couldn't get TB to work is still saying 'Root access failed' i tried to update superuser from the market, the update the su binary from it but keeps throwing an error that it created a zip file and I need to start in recovery to flash the zip.

I couldn't find away to update busybox from TB, so I download it from the market but still no luck.

I changed my PRL after replacing EPST and that was very important to me since I don't get a bar for my signal where I live, and that was important to me. I will keep playing with TB to see if I can get it to see the temp root.

Thanks for everyone's reply

Did you root with fre3vo yet? If you have, reboot your phone with fastboot off and then root with fre3vo again and try this process again.
[HTC EVO 3D] megatron-g1:
For fun, I packaged everything in a zip to run this and included a script which runs the fre3vo steps and does everything in the first post of this thread except install Titanium Backup, but you can install that before running this and it as well as other root apps should work.

I should have posted this yesterday, cause there isn't much point since there will probably be a better solution soon.

This is assuming you have your phone connected to your computer with debugging turned on.

Unzip everything anywhere you want (I tested with C:\evo3d)

Install Titanium Backup on your phone but don't run it

Make sure superuser is NOT installed on your phone, if it is, uninstall it

Reboot your phone, and unlock it

Run tempsu.bat from a command prompt.

Once it's done, open Titanium Backup or some other root app and it should work.

I also included tempsu.sh for linux users, but I couldn't test it since I do not have a linux box at home.

You have to move fast, the effect wears off pretty quickly.

EDIT: replaced zip

[Shift Development] ahmoosragab:
thanks for samersamer for help my

may be you have to un-install the driver

also let me remind you the importance to follow the steps in installing the drivers as i took it from here:

first of all, after having the drivers copied to the hardisk, right click mouse on the driver's icon and select properties then compatibility then check run this program in compatibility mode for: and select windows vista then check run this program as an administrator after that just click ok and run the driver. you have to do this step for each driver before installing it.

good luck

• Install all the drivers in the order below and restart your computer when asked to:

very improtant step a. VistaECDrvV1[1].0.1.10

do not do it at all b. Intel VGA driver(7[1].14.10.1461)

very important step c. TouchScreen(1[1].1.0.2)

it is ok to do it d. Synaptics MicroPad(10[1].0.11.1)

it is essential step e. Marvell WiFi driver(8[1].114.123.139)

only if you want to have the fingerprint f. Vitakey _AC5023_Fingerprint AP v5[1].0.2.0 and Driver v7.10.1.0 *

no need for it g. Extension Kit USBLanDriver(3[1].8.3.7)

if this can not help, then sadly i have to tell you try re-installing the windows 7 again

also you have to use the latest windows 7 and not the beta version, avoid updates as much as you can, windows 7 should not be basic version and at least home premium or above

wish good luck this time

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonnyrs:
So my roommate got an EVO, and i put his battery, which says 1500 maH (where our stock battery is 1300 maH..) and put it in my phone. Battery Monitor Widget says it's capacity is 1300, and not the 1500 it states on the battery. I also ordered one of the black batteries off ebay, or amazon (Iforget), the one's for 6 bucks shipped...They state 1500 also, but show up as only 1300. I don't think that the battery monitor is lying, because when i put in my 2150, it shows 2150. Anyone else notice this? What perplexes me is the "1500" batteries ARE a bit bulkier than the the OEM 1300, so you'd think they actually ARE larger in capacity...maybe this has been covered before, i don't know..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonnyrs:
Really? NO ONE has any input?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jptesar:
Battery monitor widget defaults to 1500 on my EVO. I haven't tried any other battery types though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoman24v:
1500 is what is says, right?

My bet is that program isn't pulling that bit of information from the battery itself, rather than a database that shows standard specification of the phone.

[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone else noticed their vibrator motor starting to feel "gritty"? I don't mean actual debris, but the vibration, particularly in short bursts, has a gravelly, gritty crackle to it. It's slightly audiable. Sustained vibration (with the app "Vibrate" set to full power) is perfectly fine, but haptic feedback is affected.

To test, press your menu button a few dozen times in rapid succession, or play a teeter style game where you frequently have short bursts of feedback. Mine sounds fine the first few times but quickly gets a nasal, gritty noise.

Just wondering if I've got a defective motor, as my OCD really picks up on this.

UPDATE: I made a recording from my laptop mic. Notice now the vibration starts normal, then after many small vibrations it gains an added crackle. It might seem unusual to hammer away at the softkeys this much, but this is just for demonstration.

Full duration: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21884233/linked/all.wav

Two normal vibrates, then two wonky ones: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21884233/linked/compare.wav

[HTC EVO 3D] illflux:
I have the same issue, searched for others who might have experienced this, and ended up here. This thread is the only complaint I found about it when doing a quick Google search, so I guess it's pretty rare. I don't know if maybe some debris somehow made its way into the housing that holds the vibration weight, or what. Doesn't seem to be causing any other problems (other than the vibration feeling kind of funny).

Anyway, I'm not adding anything any more useful than the last two posters had to say, just wanted to let OP know that you're not the only one experiencing this.
[HTC EVO 3D] spywhite:
Smoke could do this. 420 smoke sticks to everything real bad and it gets in everywhere, just like cigarette smoke.
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
the haptic motor is actually exposed in the back of the phone right above camera if u have case off. take a look at it while vibrating and see what u see.
[HTC EVO 3D] Joey_UFC:
Mine is same way which is why I turn off haptic feedback and keyboard vibration. Its just cause the 3d vibration is far too high. If you want download smart keyboard, you cab adjust vibrations
[HTC EVO 3D] zadias:
Not the best example but look, this is how the vibrator works (it's smaller in our phones, of course)

http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/question368.htm

It sounds like part of the gear might have chipped off and as the object spins it makes the sound. That or you actually have some grit inside the vibrator! lol.

Take this with a grain of salt, it's only my assumption.

Warrenty should cover this, but I see no reason for it to be such a bother (I don't use vibrating cap keys)
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah I have this problem also. It doesn't happen all the time I think it depends on the duration of the vibrate. I had this same problem on my OG Evo.
[HTC EVO 3D] aaronagis:
My OG EVO did that exactly after about 6 months, The vibration was loud enough to hear the haptic feedback and it was Super "gravely" when unlocking the screen... It never seemed to affect anything really, so i never thought much of it.

My new 3D is nice and smooth though, I noticed right away when using it, I even had to get used to it for a day or so, since i was used to the Rough, semi-inconstant audible rough-ness my haptic feedback provided in my OG EVO.

[General Topics] ShadowReaperGR:
Hello,

which of the two phones is better? I want to tinker with it, installing custom roms, developing etc...

Thank you
[General Topics] Gusar321:
Both have a locked bootloader.

But despite the locked bootloader, you can actually tinker with the Defy a lot. Rooting it is no problem whatsoever. The only limitation is the kernel, here you're limited to Motorola provided kernels. The userspace (which includes kernel modules) is fair game for tinkering. Custom roms (CyanogenMod, MIUI, Barebones, Pays, JBoogie, possibly a few more) are available.

The Desire S on the other hand, can only be rooted if you have a specific version of the bootloader (if you have a newer bootloader, you have to downgrade it first). There are a few custom roms, but I think the Defy offers more variety. The Desire S is more expensive too, has a bit better hardware though.

So all in all, neither is really a tinkerer phone, for that look to Samsung. No phone is more free tinkering-wise than the Nexus S. Between the Desire S and Defy though, I'd say go for the Defy. I don't regret buying one.
[General Topics] shrome99:
DESIRE S ALL THE WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!! Use XTC Clip and your done
[General Topics] ShadowReaperGR:
Thank you for your replys,

About the Desire S, it is a newer phone, isn't it normal that it has a smaller variety of custom roms?
[General Topics] Gusar321:
It could be the newness, or it could be that the locked bootloader is a bigger obstacle on the Desire S than it is on the Defy. On the Defy, they've bypassed a lot of restrictions by using something called "Second Init". It's this 2nd Init that makes it possible to run CyanogemMod on it, for example.

And like I said, if you really want to tinker look at Samsung. Do not buy a phone with a locked bootloader. I went for the Defy because of it's low price, but it seems you have a bigger budget available, so you can afford a Nexus S.
[General Topics] ShadowReaperGR:
The nexus S has unlocked bootloader? I also heard that the nexus S has only 16GB of memory...
[General Topics] rhaige:
Defy, definetely!
[General Topics] rogier666:
Desire S: 115 x 59.8 x 11.6 mm, weight 130 g

Defy: 107 x 59 x 13.4 mm, weight 118 g

Even though the Desire S has a larger footprint, its screen resolution is only 480x800, vs. 480x852 for the Defy. I think those extra 52 pixels are worth the 1.8 mm extra thickness. Because of the way the Defy is built you don't need to protect it with a case, so overall it will probably be thinner anyway.

RAM: Desire wins. 768 vs 512 MB.

That should make the Desire run faster.

ROM: Defy wins. 2 vs. 1.2 GB.

That should make the Defy run a bit faster, because there's less need to install apps on the SD card (which is slower than the on board storage).

The Desire has faster 3G, but that doesn't make much of a difference because the limiting factor here is usually the network, not your phone.

The Desire comes with Gingerbread. The Defy is still on Froyo and nobody knows if it will ever get an official Gingerbread update. But since you're gonna root it and load custom ROMs that doesn't really matter. With root and custom ROMs it's easy to get Motoblur out of the way too.

The Defy has plenty of room for overclocking and undervolting. I don't know how that works out on the Desire. That also makes the official battery specs for both phones rather useless. Anyway, the official battery specs for the Defy date back from when it was still running Eclair. In my experience the Defy outperforms Motorola's own specifications.
