What Android version are you on and your phone is currently rooted correct?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heaterz16:
He stated in original post that it is NOT rooted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thariz:
4.24 gb EVO

hacked as hell

i think it was rooted before not to my knowledge, and flashed. also calendar exploited via google, I hope i can get some help outside the dev forum, because I i know they dont like questions there, thats why im posting here instead.

cant clean it now that i have OTA'd to GB.

I am finding alot of cool app engines along my trials and tribulations. makes me wish I had not stopped working in security several years back.

Someone gonna give a guy a hand? I am as trustworthy as they come if you are worried about anything getting out and about.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
If it was rooted before, go into the bootloader and check if it says S-ON or S-OFF. If it's S-OFF, you can flash a recovery and now you're rooted again.

If it's S-ON, no, you can't do anything right now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thariz:
yeah im screwed

i just love it when my camera and speaker come on and monitor me all day and night long.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Sigh...ok...I'll bite. Why do you think your phone is doing this? What evidence?

And does the tin foil mess up your hair?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thariz:
i watch the logs, i see the mic and or cameras come on, i see the filesys filling where I cant go see it because im not root, i see the traffic as it xmits it from local host to local host, i see the traces of the encryption keys and stunnels. This is only one instance.

I hope there is someone around here who has something more to offer than the people outside the dev forums, im getting killed following the rules.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnewgaard:
So let me get this straight and my apologizies for sounding confuzed becasue every reply has been all over the place and has been of no real help to you yet..

Your on GB version 4.24 correct? Previously Rooted without you knowing? Your trying to get back too 100% stock as well? I hope I'm following this so far.

1st, the easiest way, download Root Checker from the Market and that will tell you right off the bat if your rooted or not. If thats not possible, enter bootloader as stated before and verify S-Off at top of screen. If so, flash Amon_Ra Recovery (rename to PC36IMG.zip if not already and place on root of SD Card). Enter bootloader and let it scan, apply update and from there you can do what you need to do. If it says S-On but you know your rooted, go to xHausx Auto Root guide, download the Froyo 3.70.651 Stock rom and place on Root of Sd Card named PC36IMG.zip, enter bootloader, let it scan and apply update, that will take you too 100% stock Froyo with hBoot 2.10 and you can apply GB update if desired or root with whatever method of your choice.

Once again, sorry if this is not what you were wanting but its irritating when you get the run around and people talk about tin foil hats and ridiculous stuff...and agreed, very hard to follow rules when most replies are worthless.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnewgaard:
Read 1 post below yours, only way to figue out how to help is to know the details. Good 2 cents though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thariz:
I will give it a go, after I upgraded OTA it made me s-on, so i think im just screwed now.

I tried the ruu to go back but as you know it says too old files etc

i imagine this will do the same but i will try anything once, the guys at sprint gave me the go ahead to do whateever i need to do to try to backrev this thing, and if i brick it they will replace it so im up for ANYTHING PEOPLE
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ca1ne:
If you were originally s-off, the ota shouldn't have updated hboot. It can't turn you s-on, unless you reverse it yourself first..

Which means you were always s-on, and currently there is no way to assist you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
lets start over. are u S-OFF or S-ON? that will determine what ur options are.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] complex88:
There isn't anything that can be done for you at the moment. You said your s-on which means your not rooted which in turn means your bootloader is locked and you can't install a recovery and install the files you need to fix your problem. So I would call Sprint and tell em your device is being defective.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heaterz16:
If you could read his original post, he said - it is currently not rooted - who cares if it was rooted before or not. He has S-ON = NOT rooted = he is out of luck...

That's my 3 cents :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CDobra58:
Have you tried ##768# and then select reset with the menu button
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Technically not rooted does not necessarily mean S-ON. You can be S-OFF but still not have root, if the rom you have flashed doesn't have superuser on it. But if you're S-OFF, you can flash a rooted rom.

However, he has stated in later posts that he is in fact S-ON, so yes, he's out of luck. Just wanted to clarify though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sauhegan:
hi all,

I'm an absolute newcomer to android and smartphones. I bought a droid charge yesterday and I know I want to root it and install a leaner OS that gives me a lot of flexibility and less bloatware. However, I need to learn some basics before I blunder my way into this.

Looking around this forum, the jargon is all greek to me. Is there a good place to start for total noobs like me?

I'd like to learn:

* best and safest methods to root the phone

* what custom rom's are available

* how to ensure I can restore it to factory condition

If there is a FAQ somewhere that goes through the basics, pleas just point me to it.

Thx and apologies if this is redundant with other posts

sauhegan
[Verizon Droid Charge] no1kung1:
I am in a similar position as you. Doing a lot of research before I root.

Check out this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1107797
[Verizon Droid Charge] sauhegan:
Thank you, I'll check that out. But I'm looking for something even more basic, if it exists. Like, what is Odin? What is the different between a Rom/Kernel and a Mod? What is a Theme? Are there any catalogues of the custom ROM's that give comparisons? As a professional software eng, I'll be able to get this done once I get the jargon, but I'm way behind the 8-ball here...

Thx
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Google is a wonderful thing. When you've done at least a little research then ask questions
[Verizon Droid Charge] sauhegan:
That was a somewhat polite "RTFM" message. Thanks.

I'm looking for a FAQ or a beginner's guide. Sitting there googleing dozens of terms is possible, but I'm looking for a beginner's resource. But I do appreciate you pointing out the obvious ;-)

[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
There's a great guide in the Android Development section of the Charge Forums that'll shed a ton of light on your situation.

1. I find that the easiest way to root your phone is by flashing through Odin. It's basically a one-click root/flash kernel/rom. Even if Odin fails and your phone is soft-bricked you should be able to recover the phone by attempting to flash through Odin again. I've soft-bricked my Charge several times :)

2. Altered Beast was the first custom ROM available. Now you have GummyCharged, Eclipse, Humble and various GB molds. I think the main four ROMs available are Altered Beast, Gummy, Eclipse and Humble. I may be missing one but I'm usually on top of this crap :D

3. You should be able to restore it to factory condition by using Odin or Heimdall. I believe there is a Samsung utility that can be used as well. I wouldn't worry too much about restoring it back to stock :rolleyes:

Google GIMP install on pc and make one or many yourself. Open new project select desired size. Then under advanced options select "transparency" for background and save as .PNG with whatever name.

good day. using xda premium.

I'll need to try this out when I get home. Great work!
[HTC EVO 3D] Wisefire:
Thanks! I originally made this for my Sensation, but I figured those with Evo 3D's could use it as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] dp13:
From the phone or cpu?
[HTC EVO 3D] tigereyeslalo:
Thanks for the script. I'm assuming this is just a script that should be run the first time... But what about every time you reboot? Does the same script need to ran? Or can you make a quick script with what's needed after this initial script is ran for every reboot?
[HTC EVO 3D] Wisefire:
@dp13 Run it from the PC :)

@tigereyeslalo I just run it every time I reboot, doesn't hurt.
[HTC EVO 3D] chefdave12118:

[HTC EVO 3D] CJPRICO:
Would you need to have SDK installed on ur PC or any PC u wish to run this.?
[HTC EVO 3D] taygutta:
Did not work for me. Are there special drivers I need? Is there any step you could have left out at all?? Maybe a small detail that you didnt include?
[HTC EVO 3D] Wisefire:
@CJPRICO Nope, I included the ADB files and everything.

@taygutta You're the first person it hasn't worked for, what version of windows are you running, and can you copy all of the text from the command prompt and post it here?

I reserved this morning to go ahead and temp root it since I got the 3vo Thursday. I was prepared for the sometimes long process of rooting my phone, coming from the OG evo..downloaded htc sync...20 minutes..I have a slow wifi in the house. Downloaded the zip package...set phone to debug....unzipped...ran start bat and everything ran fine...it went to damn quick I thought...less than a few seconds...30 if not less seconds...installed titanium and got it running..!!!!!! disable bloatware...rebooted phone..sons of *****es were still disabled..holy shoot...worked like a charm!!!!! Tried different versions of wifi tether...no luck...down loaded barnacle...it worked....now I have everything I need like my old evo except for optimizations of sence...thank you so much!!!!!!n...you can marry my first female sheep.......:D....

Hm, the last update I did should have fixed that. Try downloading the archive again and follow the instructions again, maybe you have an older archive. Let me know how that goes.

Sorry it isn't working for you, I checked everything that would cause that issue and it all appears to be fine. I'm pretty confused.

Also, updated the Mac version. Should work again. At least I hope so!!! It worked on my sensation!

[HTC EVO 3D] superhtchd2:
yeah not sure, ive tried rebooting and doing again and no matter what same issue.. im able to do the original frev30 temp root but after a while i lose SU so i figured id try this method.. ill try and mess with it and see if i can get it working.

powered the phone off again , unisntalled SU and tried again.. and now its working.. :confused: :D
[HTC EVO 3D] superhtchd2:
anyway to be able to adjust the the speed via setcpu other then jumping from 1188 to 1728? also not able to remove the bloatware, isnt working for some reason.. tried a few times.. otherwise working great :D
[HTC EVO 3D] knightwolf123:
It worked on the first try. Thanx a million.

I hit the thanx button too .

Btw, wireless tether only worked once on the first try. Then didn't work. Barnacles works every time though. Maybe I'm missing something
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
yeah i guess Barnacle sint working for alot, but its worked for me everytime as well......did the OC work for u too?

EDIT: wow....i was just playing around with my phone and i swiped my finger to seeing teh CAROUSEL effect and the only homescreen it showed spinning was my main screen....all the other homescreens were'nt showed spinning....has anyone noticed or experienced that before?
[HTC EVO 3D] aronslusa:
I don't know if anyone else experienced these issues as I didn't see it in the thread already, or was silly enough like me to over look it, but I used this method earlier today and it worked fine. When I went to use Barnacle Tether today I had a little notification saying my SU binaries needed to be updated. Went to update and it said can not complete (or some other mumbo-jumbo that basically said can not complete).

Uninstalled Superuser from the device, rebooted... Re-ran and now the problem seems to have gone away and I can use the "remember" option for super user requests.

I have not tested it since I did the above, but Barnacle would work, but every 10 minutes or so would drop connection with my iPad. I'll try this again tomorrow if I can to see if this rectified the problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
hmm......yeah i ran into some issues myself, and re-ran an old script from yesterday cause the updated one from a few mins ago didnt work for me....all the messing around i did with the "PATHS" and user variableds on my PC prolly messed things up a bit......but ive been running barnacle, and connected it with my ASUS TRANS and its been running good so far......hopefully they get the STOCK SPRINT HS working sooon
[HTC EVO 3D] DCLocal:
AWESOME!

Worked perfectly, thank you! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
edit: nm, the temp root doesnt change the speed 1.2ghz is stock, doh.
[HTC EVO 3D] alammori:
SetCPU will allow you to go lower than 1728 but not higher, since the script in the OP is preset at 32x54=1728, because this value seems to be stable for everyone.

You can edit the script and replace the 32 with 33, modify the undervolting and see if your evo stays stable or reboot.

The OP is a sensation user so the script will take care of the tmobile bloat and not sprint. If you run it you will see that only the stock app has been taken care of.
[HTC EVO 3D] jagjr86:
The script for the root worked well. Only problem I ran into was your bloatware remover script. It would just freeze up the cmd prompt.

My alternative was using an app I already had - System App Remover... Worked like a charm. Thanks mate!
[HTC EVO 3D] lmbebo:
same issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] TweetyBear:
so system app remover worked for all the bloatware he listed in the OP? even spiderman? TIA
