[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
The rooting only work for 2.2, as no root for 2.3, and unrooting, it works, but you need to be on the 2.15.00.11.19 radio.

Rooting

1. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.p...driver_install ; Download the hboot drivers needed for rooting. The instructions are also there of how to install them, straight forward.

2. Download unrevoked3 > http://unrevoked.com/recovery/ ; It will show up as reflash_package on your desktop; leave it alone for now

3. On your phone from a home screen: menu > settings > applications > development and make sure usb debugging is checked; needed so that unrevoked can find the phone; never turn this off

4. http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/ ; Download htc sync and install it. After that, uninstall the program from your computer ; you only need the drivers from it.

5. On your phone, connect the to the pc in CHARGE ONLY, do not mount as a disk, ect, has to be charge only

6. On the desktop, run unrevoked [reflash_package], accept the disclaimer, blah blah

7. Just sit your phone down and let it do its thing. It'll take about 5 minutes, and the phone will reboot twice. Once its done, it'll say done. You can open your app drawer and you'll see an app that says superuser, and then you're done.

IF unrevoked tells you 'is your firmware too new?' boot into the bootloader [while turning the phone on, hold vol+down till you see a white screen with androids skateboarding.] Use the volume keys to navigate after the scan completes to clear storage [a factory reset, data will be lost] and then use the power button to select it, then repeat step #6.

To tether, you can flash a custom rom of your choosing after you've browsed, and then use the built in hot spot, or download wireless tether from the market, more later after you root.

Unrooting

1. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever ; Scroll down to the FAQs, then download the unrevoked s-on zip. This places the security back on your phone, because rooting makes it s-off, and if s-on, quickest way to tell your phone was rooted.

2. Flash that file from recovery, then boot back into the bootloader [vol+down while turning phone on] and verify until its s-on.

3. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip ; rename that file to PC36IMG, place on the root of your sdcard [not in a folder] then flash it in the bootloader. When the scan that normally does nothing, it'll detect that file. Apply the update then reboot. That's a stock 3.70 firmware file, it'll take you back to stock, unrooted, s-on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legasus233:
Awesome! Thanks a million! About how long does it take to run through everything? My phone has been randomly shuttting off and I don't want to risk bricking it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Not including the time to download the files, it takes probaly ~5 minutes to run through rooting and unrooting each.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russell1337:
My old EVO did that. It's.due to heat. If you hold it in front of an air conditioner it won't reboot. Only fix is.to get a replacement
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
all you really need to do is run unrevoked s-off then just do an OTA update and your done
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legasus233:
Alright, I followed the unroot steps and successfully got it to turn s-on. I then placed the PC36IMG.zip file on the root of the sd card and it booted to the bootloader. It checked the file almost all the way but wouldn't let me update, saying " Main Version is older, Update Fail! What does this mean? Do I need a different stock image? Please help!!!! Thanks in advance for all your help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
What's your bootloader version, because you'll have to use a different RUU file then.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legasus233:
I am currently running Fresh Rom which I believe is based on 3.70, my bootloader says 2.10.0001.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Awkward, should have worked, and what radio are you on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legasus233:
2.15.00.11.19
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I would suggest to try it again, and if it still doesn't work keep working your way down as you just need to find the right one. Can't help right now as I have to step out for a few.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legasus233:
I will keep trying, thanks for any help you can give, I really do appreciate it!
[Nexus One General] beanboy89:
Lately I've been considering buying a new phone. I currently have a G1 unlocked on AT&T which I've been using for a little under a year, but the G1 is starting to show its age with what I believe to be a failing SD card slot and some WiFi issues. My AT&T line has been due for a upgrade for months, but I'm on a family plan and the other members in my family don't want to change anything with the contract, so no upgrade (otherwise, I'd likely already have an Inspire or Infuse). Thus, Ive been looking at getting a Nexus One. The hardware still seems to be quite modern in comparison to some of the low- to mid-range phones coming out today, and the price seems about right (I'm finding them on eBay for ~$200 which is in my price range). However, there are a few things I have questions about:

1. How common are some of the Nexus One hardware issues I've read about, like the power button failure and the screen calibration issues?

2. Is there a major difference between the AMOLED and SLCD versions in terms of build quality or battery life?

3. I don't currently have a data plan on my AT&T line, but I've heard that if you use a Nexus One on AT&T, they will automatically add the 200 MB plan to your account. Is this true?

4. And related to data, if I were to get a T-Mobile 3G-banded Nexus One, is there a noticeable difference between EDGE and 3G speeds? I'm not going to be using my phone to download large files or anything, just some occasional web browsing. Will EDGE be sufficient?

Thanks.
[Nexus One General] neoss119:
Yeah, I'm considering buying a Nexus One as well (mostly because of the price).

What are the biggest limitations of this phone as of today comparing to let's say Galaxy S II both running Gingerbread?

Thanks.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Edge speeds will be miserable, literally that bad. Get the proper att version if you decide on the nexus one.
[Nexus One General] FaithCry:
1. i got lucky enough to not have a power button issue... i dont even use it. and there are many, many alternatives. you can also use the trackball to wake instead of power button.

2. amoled has better blacks, slcd has better whites; slcd consumes slightly more power. but not enough to notice.

3. don't live in the states. dont know. sorry! :(

4. EDGE if you're using mobile pages every time... even then its really slow. but you might as well get the AT&T version since its the same size.

speed, camera quality, ffc, gaming quality. pretty much it. no LED/TB notifications... nexus is actually a reasonable size. if you're just using it to call and text, should be fine. with root and cyanogenmod7 a whole world opens up though. :P
[Nexus One General] fireb33:
1. I don't have any issue with power button (and I use it very often), maybe they fixed it in latest hw revision

2. AMOLED has dark black and more saturated colors, but N1 panel uses a pentile matrix that slighty reduce the real resolution. SLCD uses always the same power, AMOLED uses more power with white backgrounds: difference is slightly noticeable

3. I don't know :p

4. EDGE is slow, it could be sufficient if you are patient... 3G (and HSDPA) is far better
[Nexus One General] minooch:
Nexus one was my previous phone. Gave it to my wife. She loves it.

Phone is in perfect condition including power button.

The only problem is the touchscreen, multitouch is crap on it. Also every so often it gets your finger location wrong. A quick screen off and then on fixes that though.

Get AT&T version as you will regret it otherwise, Android is best with data.

I personally loved that phone even with its small faults
[Nexus One General] abhi0n0nakul:
the screen is very bad outdoors due to the amount of space present bw the touch responsive layer and screen..

indoors its like super amoled.....

outdoors worse than lcd....

and yes in browser in many sites touch is registerd wrongly...

multitouch is bad but with custom roms its good enough
[Nexus One General] gimiento:
As others said, get the ATT version, edge is sloooow.

But the N1 is a great phone. I've had mine for 18 months and its still perfect, haven't had any problems. In fact, its only getting better with each CM release. (But if power button were to go out, its fixable, or there are not-inconvenient work-arounds.)

Mine is amoled and I really like the screen, even if can't see outdoors -- better color than lcd. Multitouch is better on other phones but doesn't make the phone un-enjoyable or un-usable by any means. Probably wouldn't even notice it, to be honest, if you haven't been on other, newer phones.

The N1 is no where near obsolete, its a great value these days.
[Nexus One General] -Phazenine-:
Nexus One is still a tier one phone and if I was in your situation Id definately get a N1. Hardware still tier 1,runs all current software silky smooth.The ONLY thing that will make me retire my Nexus One is if the Nexus 3/Prime lives up to all the hype that the Sensation & Evo3D didnt live up to. Once rooted CM7 & MIUI are like previously stated whole new worlds. Nexus Forever......
[Nexus One General] rraghur:
Getting my N1 next week. At $260, its great value - but the question has been bugging me... :):)

Plan to get to CM 7 immediately

BTW, I'm in india - and the seller on Amazon is mostly shipping vodafone models (from the comments). Can anyone confirm if 3G/HSDPA will work properly in India?
[Nexus One General] Marcell96:
i am also considering of selling my ipod touch 4g and galaxy 5

and than buying this phone...

but is it still worth it?

i mean it is a old phone now...

or should i buy the HTC Desire/HTC Desire HD, isn't that better?

;)

edit: i could get all the phones for like €150/€200 second hand
[Nexus One General] beanboy89:
Just placed my order for a used Nexus One with AT&T 3G on eBay. Hopefully I'll have it by this time next week. Not bad for $200, methinks.
[Nexus One General] sirtobey:
it is sure better than the desire, because you'll have no problems unlocking your nexus while de desire can be tricky to root. Also, you do have capacitiv buttons on the nexus which I prefer over hardware button. And last but not least, the nexus one just looks better.. :)

Concerning the Desire S I can't help you, I habe no experience with that phone.
[Nexus One General] Marcell96:
ok thanks but will i get a dutch language than? and on every site it says that the phone has the ''newest 2.1'' ? but that even doesn't support app2sd???:confused:
[Nexus One General] sirtobey:
I guess dutch shouldn't be a problem.

about the version, it is possible, that there isn't the newest version of android for the nexus one, but I would install acustom ROM anyway, like cyanogenmod.com...
[Nexus One General] beanboy89:
My Nexus One shipped yesterday, and if the tracking is correct, it should be here tomorrow. I plan on getting a data plan shortly after getting the phone if AT&T doesn't add one automatically. My question is about data usage. I'm wondering about how much data I'll use a month. Obviously, I'd like to keep it under 200 MB so I can get by on AT&T's $15 plan. Basically, I plan to use the default weather/news app to keep up with the weather and various news feeds. I also will be using the phone to check for mail in my Gmail account. I don't plan on doing too much web browsing (maybe a few web pages here and there if I'm not near WiFi). Aside from browsing, I may do some viewing of Google maps and IRC or IM. I don't think those will use too much data. To those who keep track of their data usage, should I be fine with the 200 MB plan?
[Nexus One General] gimiento:
Short answer: probably not. Unless you can use wifi networks consistently.
[Nexus One General] beanboy89:
Got my Nexus One last night. I got everything setup (contacts synced from Google, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, News/Weather setup) and everything seems to be running smoothly. I made sure to dig around the settings of all my apps and was sure to turn off automatic syncing/updating just to be sure they're not constantly updating and using data. I'll likely add the data plan next week at some point.

One thing I'm not sure about is whether I have an AMOLED or SLCD screen. I did notice some slight burn in of some things, like the top notification bar.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Then you have the amoled screen. Its common to have slight burn in of the notification bar on these screens, for example the time am pm, etc. Its not a huge issue to me.
[Nexus One General] minooch:
Glad to hear you got your nexus one. I would recommend downloading zdbox from the market, you can use it to track how much data you've used amongst other useful tasks.
[Nexus One General] beanboy89:
And I just got AT&T's 200 MB data plan added to my line. Right now, I have "Data enabled" in the Mobile Network Settings unchecked until I need to use data. If I leave this option checked and I check "Use only 2G networks" will that change my data usage? I wouldn't think it would, but I just want to be sure.

Edit: I've heard they will send you a text message when you're getting close to the 200 MB for the month. Is this true?
[Nexus One General] razvanflo:
You should download form Android Market NetCounter by Cyril Jaquier.it`s tiny and very useful app to help u count your internet traffic and u can set an alarm as well to let u know when u almost reach 200Mb or whatever value u want.and it`s free.enjoy your nexus one
[Nexus One General] einc70:
I had my Nexus 1 since last July 2010... Had my 3G plan from my local provider.. 3G is just awesome... As said the phone would'nt get any good without data usage unless you re near a wifi... I downloaded some data tracker back then which is always useful I mean if you really heads-on of your data usage then be it.. One downside to it are the apps updates which are now more frequent then the earlier days.. Had some months i ve used more than 2 gig (yep!!) if you re not careful. Make sure you unclick the automatic update for each apps so you can control them... The Phone to me still sleek although it is less and less attention-paid from its earlier days, software development rather left out to newer phones not the least to the Nexus S and others ... Another downside is the power button.. There are some apps using the vol button as altenative to it (called "fix broken power button") I mean if you were gonna mess around the Hboot/root etc.. you need the power button working otherwise you re screwed ... With that said I hope these insights gave you some headsup what to look out for with the phone.. OS wise it is the same as Nexus S but it doesn't support video chat/3D/ now 4G ... but still top of the line compare to newer mid range phones... My next kicker will be the N3 prime...Cheers
[Nexus One General] beanboy89:
I must say, the battery life on my Nexus One has been excellent. Only occasionally using WiFi and 3G when needed, I've gotten a good three and a half days on battery, and I could probably go a fourth day if I wanted to stretch it.
[Nexus One General] momomok:
You seldom use your N1 in that three days, right?
[Nexus One General] hbroo22:
i just received mine 2 days ago, and already love it...i dont live in the u.s so i wont be able to tell u about at+t tho
[Nexus One General] underamoon:
I had a g1 on launch and upgraded to n1 at launch. The N1 is a huge upgrade over the g1 but it is getting long in the tooth. If you are planning on keeping your next phone more than a year then you should invest in a newer device. Otherwise the N1 is a great value with a good community
[Nexus One General] beanboy89:
I'm using it more than I used my G1. I use my Nexus One on WiFi and 3G for about a half hour a day, on average. I rarely make many voice calls or text messages.
[Nexus One General] ocbaud:
nexus one has been the best phone i've ever owned.

i'm hoping in a year i can say that about my just purchased nexus s...
[Nexus One General] eep2378:
I'm considering an unlocked nexus one. I'm on att right now but do I need to add data plan? Can I just go without data if I want.
[Nexus One General] plisk3n:
You can use the phone just fine without a data plan. It works just peachy with wifi only..
[Nexus One General] bassmadrigal:
Just make sure you uncheck the data-enabled option in the settings. Just in case AT&T has data available, but, if you use it, you would get heavily charged for it.
[Nexus One General] eep2378:
Ok thanks! I'm mainly trying to cut my cell phone bill but don't want to downgrade to a dumbphone :)

Also, I know there are plenty of great dev support for the Nexus one, so the investment seems nice
[Nexus One General] eep2378:
What are the most reputable places to get a N1 from? Amazon, ebay, etc? How can I make sure its unbranded(to use on att without data plan)?
[Nexus One General] bigmout:
What do you mean "unbranded"? All N1s are Google branded. You just need to confirm with the seller you're buying the AT&T compatible model. Then, put any AT&T sim card you want into the phone.
[Nexus One General] eep2378:
By unbranded I mean, without IMEI number. Or is that not possible? I just dont want to be forced to have a data plan.
[Nexus One General] plisk3n:
I think you mean unlocked. If you're looking for used, try the marketplace here first..
[Nexus One General] bassmadrigal:
The terms you are using really don't apply to N1s. Unbranded means that it won't have the carrier marks/decals and/or apps on the phone. Generally, this means it will come with a stock install too (not just with Android phones). Unlocked, in a general cell phone usage, means that you can take a sim card from AT&T and put it into a T-Mobile phone and it will work. But with Androids, it can also mean that the bootloader is able to be unlocked which allows for easier access to replace the internal software. And the IMEI is basically a serial number of the phone. Every phone (smart, dumb, or otherwise) will have an IMEI.

And the difference between the AT&T version and the T-Mobile version is the ability to use the 3G bands (each carriers 3G bands work on different frequencies -- EDGE will work on both as they both use the same frequency). This is mainly for data usage, so there is no need to worry what version you get since you don't plan on using mobile data.

So, any N1 you purchase (from the US) will be unbranded, unlocked (is able to take either company's sim cards), and unlockable (able to unlock the bootloader -- some used might come unlocked already). The main difference between them is their ability to operate with certain 3G speeds. Since you have no plans to use mobile data, it doesn't matter which one you get. However, if you think you may want to use mobile data later on, make sure you find an AT&T model.

As for a good place, ebay can always be hit and miss. There are links in the CyanogenMod forum for Swappa, which allows users to sell their old phones. Maybe it would be worth checking out.
[Nexus One General] eep2378:
Ok, thanks! great info.
[Nexus One General] beanboy89:
You can use it without a data plan until AT&T "catches" you; however, I'd highly recommend getting a data plan unless you're constantly around WiFi access points. Originally, I didn't think I'd need one, but now that I have a data plan, it's great having access to the internet pretty much anywhere I go.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jberg22:
did you try restoring your stock rom from from your nandroid backup?

i had a problem similar to that and i think it was because when i made my backup i didn't have enough space on my sd card so it just got stuck on the boot screen. i just flashed the PD15IMG in the bootloader and it completely restored my phone back to stock.

http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/16/how-to-unroot-the-t-mobile-mytouch-4g/

hope this helps..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
He's getting cache errors which usually points to a failed eMMC chip which he should've checked before rooting. A improperly made backup will not give out cache errors it will either error out or just bootloop your phone till you wipe and reflash a ROM. So if you can get ADB to recognize your phone and can check your eMMC chip it will most likely be the bad one.

Sorry for your bad experience with the phone just send in for a warranty replacement recheck the eMMC on the replacement. If its good go crazy but be careful in what you flash ;)
