[HTC EVO 3D] Deleted member 2173701:
I agree with you. reliance is setup to ward against "unauthorized" changes to the /system partitions. i believe the developer community takes way too deep a look at each action made by a corporation (htc) and view them as "big brother", when infact most changes are actually approved, reviewed, and committed by someone in accounting with no technical skills whatsoever. these people are forced to look at the bigger scheme of things and make a decision about it (after working for sprint for almost 2 years now...i can tell you how many decisions are literally made by someone who has no idea what the heck he is making decisions on).

instead of looking at them "trying to stop the development community from unlocking wireless tether" look at them as a CEO (who most of the time has no technical knowledge) and a PR rep (who really only cares about how their company is viewed) and using this kind of encryption is only there to "safeguard" their devices against attacks.

one would think the secret to perm rooting the device is triggering the reliance write function so it commits the changes instead of reloading them. if /system doesnt get changed unless theres an OTA of some sorts....theres more than likely a hash table that reliance would check against to verify...so an OTA would need to write to that table first, then make the changes....

more than likely some other noob has already said something along those lines and been flamed for it as well...just throwing it out there....

that stuck out in bold to me..... hmmmmmm
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
I probably was overlooking what eMMC was, however based on the links the user gave, I later learned a little more about its potential. It would appear that HTC is doing something along the lines of the operations expressed in the link. And if they are not fully replicating efforts, it would be a shame. I like the concept of wear leveling and efficient read/writes. It would be my hope that we could integrate all those functions within a custom rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] CyWhitfield:
I found a page on the Micron site on eMMC. In the tech notes section there are informational downloads for just one chip. Specifically, the Qualcomm QSC6695

You have to register to download them. A process I have already started. Their site claims it takes a half hour to register a new account.

Once I have the PDFs, I will attach them to the OP.

I don't know if this is the chip the evo 3d is using, but if it is these may prove beneficial to have.

EDIT: Nevermind. i'd have to sign an NDA first.

EDIT: Although, this looks interesting.
[HTC EVO 3D] CyWhitfield:
Perhaps, but a hint at the design really tells me that it would only make sense to offload this protection to the eMMC. Posted a link just a minute ago with the eMMC "enablement" model in PDF form. Interesting read...
[HTC EVO 3D] goodelyfe:
VERY interesting link & read for sure
[HTC EVO 3D] Rakeesh_j:
I completely agree with all of that. Other carriers have taken many steps to try to prevent wireless tethering. They've asked google to filter certain apps from the market from their customers, they've sent out letters to their customers who they suspect of tethering, they've used ECM's to try to stop it.

But Sprint...they've been remarkably silent on that front. Hell they don't even seem to plan on putting any usage caps in place. In my opinion, I suspect that Sprint wants to be different from the other carriers. They can't outright allow tethering because people would go nuts with it and it would saturate their network. Instead they have this approach of telling you that you can't do it without paying extra, but they look the other way when you do.

I don't know if I fully agree on why HTC locks the phone so tight though. I mean they really went out of their way to make sure nobody touches it. There could have been far more simple countermeasures in place to prevent malware yet still be open to somebody who has physical access to the phone.

It can't be that Sprint insisted on it being that way, otherwise Sprint would have insisted that the Nexus S be fully locked, so I don't believe that this is a carrier issue at all, at least not as far as the Evo 3D is concerned.

One of my suspicions is that HTC may make a profit off of having certain apps installed, much in the way that PC OEM's get paid to preload different apps (e.g. norton.) It could be that they want to make sure that you can't remove them. However that profit they make off of these apps may be significantly offset by having a really negative facebook page, hence the decision to unlock.

Hard to say really.
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
VERY interesting... from this read, it seems highly probably that presently, the eMMC itself can be locked or portions there-of. It may very well be that there is no cracking this one. I think we will have to wait for HTC... and from the looks of it, I am betting that the delay is them trying to figure out a way to unlock without giving away the key itself. Although I don't know why it would matter to them anymore. They already committed to unlocking all future bootloaders.

[HTC EVO 3D] mhmobile:
I would just like to say that I can't believe how smart all the people in this thread are! Personally, I couldn't program my way out of a paper bag, I just feel fortunate that I understand enough to flash these

ROM's. You guys are amazing!
[HTC EVO 3D] CyWhitfield:
I have a feeling the OTA will be ripped to pieces within SECONDS of hitting the air, and a clandestine root/unroot method will emerge shortly thereafter.

Unless HTC is 100% confident that the phone will never need another system update, I don't see them maintaining two different code forks just to unlock what they have stated will not be locked on future devices.

In other words, I am pretty sure you can count on the unlock OTA to become the official version of the stock rom.

Unless HTC themselves have stated otherwise, I wouldn't sweat the warranty.

Besides, they only said they were going to unlock the bootloader, similar to how the EVO 4G shipped. I am sure it will still be S-ON. Once you load the eng bootloader, and switch the phone to true S-OFF, THEN the warranty is in question.... until you RUU it back to stock, or apply whatever unroot mechanism the wonderful devs come up with.
[HTC EVO 3D] CyWhitfield:
I've gone ahead and started the process with Micron to try and get those technical spec sheets. I'll let you know if they throw me a bone.
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
If you are worried about an NDA, you could examine the docs and report out your opinion on certain activities; but speak to those activities in a high enough level of way that it does not give details of how the technology is implemented.

I have TEP so it is another $100 and I will have a replacement. The bummer of it is Asurion is out of stock so if I'm lucky I'll have it by week's end.

Update: if I play the movie backwards the phone repairs itself and vocalizes a demonic message!

Seriously I just an email from Asurion that my replacement phone is coming tomorrow.

With sprint you don't have to use insurance for a cracked screen..only if the mobo is damaged..
[HTC EVO 3D] splat matt:
From my understanding the phone being so new Sprint doesn't have any refurbished units or parts to swap. Therefore I had to use the insurance.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattinky11:
I feel your pain bro. Drowned mine over the weekend and Asurion told me the same thing, out of stock. Luckily they found one...or two I guess, and I'll have my replacement today. Get a hard case! I'm going to invest in some Ziplok baggies myself...:p
[HTC EVO 3D] slayer69:
Did you check with a store? My wife had scratches on her evo 4g screen that we showed sprint....(this was like 8 months old) and we asked if there was anything that could be done......they said they couldn't repair it....a few weeks later a brand new evo showed up in the mail to replace hers. No insurance needed. I was surprised myself because we did not demand it or get upset, but it does say they the repair center is supposed to be able to fix damaged phones....might want to check just to make sure....You may still get charged....but its worth the shot.
[HTC EVO 3D] splat matt:
Maybe next time I am already getting my replacement today and the $100 has been already paid.
[HTC EVO 3D] okcxb:
Since this would be considered physical damage he took the correct step and contacted asurion. I highly doubt a sprint repair center would fix it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] caine256:
Hello -

I've been googling for hours on how to fix my situation and would very much appreciate anyone's thoughts. In advance, thank you very, very much.

I picked up a Nexus S 4g from Sprint yesterday. I got Clockwork Recovery working fine and then flashed what I thought was the correct Cyanogenmod image. Android comes up just fine, but I immediately noticed I had no signal. This, I think I flashed the GSM Nexus S image. Next, I noticed I am unable to mount the storage via USB since the PC doesn't recognize the device at all. It's plugged in and working because it's charging via USB. The same results from the recovery image...unable to mount USB.

As far as I can tell right now, the only method of communication I have with the device is via fastboot and the bootloader. I was being lazy and didn't make a backup of any kind, and this seems to be what I can restore with fastboot.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can either get a ROM pushed to the phone (again, no adb) so I can flash it with clockworkmod or how to fix it via fastboot? Thanks again!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bunu:
Just flash the correct recovery via fastboot and if that doesn't help you fix anything, just flash the correct .zip ROM in fastboot.

If all fails, isn't there like a .zip you can load in fastboot?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] caine256:
I'm an idiot....I didn't realize ClockworkMod had a different load for each phone too...Grr. Thanks a million!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] krarvind:
using my USB jig to get back to normal state. One suggestion i strongly recommend is to have an option of recovery, download etc in the extended power menu. Not everybody has a jig if something goes wrong like it did for me, it won't show me a screen and kept force closing. Otherwise i like the speed and clean rom. Please let me know about the extended power menu options.

[General Questions and Answers] Darksideflux:
Whew. Ok, well, I am new to rooting and such and also new to smartphones in general. First, I must explain what I am attempting to achieve by modding and rooting my droid x.

I am trying to use my droid as a modem for an xbox 360. I have already rooted my phone with z4root. I am using barnacle wifi tether in order to connect the 360 slim to a wireless WAN. I am able to connect online; however, I would like to get a better speed, so after spending all day going though threads online, I have found a possible solution. Due to the fact that I am new to this I am at a loss with all the jargon and apps. It appears that by setting up a new ROM I will be able to get into the system root files to modify the throttle lock on the phone. This is all in theory, of course, from what I have located. All the tutorials I have looked into do not give enough info to fully understand and use their methods. Currently on my phone, I have an installed PDAnet which i am using for wired internet on my PC. (I do not have internet at my residence currently.) It also seems I am having issues downloading some files online, maybe due to timeout or something, but I cannot be sure. As you can guess, this is getting pretty frustrating. I am also running ROM manager. I am at the point where I cannot go any further in what I am attempting to do unless I get assistance. Also, Youtube seems fairly useless in this particular issue and variations of this issue.

So in short, I ask that someone please assist me with this and be as detailed as you can to clear up any miscommunication. Please use and/or explain any jargon that you use.

Thank you for any posts that you make in response. I will be looking into this thread for posts.

Also. I am currently running The default android and did a Factory Data Reset.It is Android Version 2.2.1.

UPDATE

I also installed adb and SDK, wifi tether, droidx bootstrapper, no frills CPU controller, Terminal Emulator, and root explorer.

[HTC Inspire 4G] somewhastock:
Im running Revolution 5.1.11 on my Inspire with radio 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.03.26_m.

I cant tell if service is actually worse, or if the status symbol is just accurate now. First, it NEVER shows H+, mostly shows 3g, and sometimes shows an E. My concern stems from the fact that data speeds are very sporadic. Sometimes .06Mbps down, sometimes 2.5 Mpbs down on either 3G or H. I havent tested on E.

Fortunately, I have access to many Android devices including Inspires. I ran a speed test and mine performed either as well showing 3G versus the stock one showing H+. Unfortunatly, I cant take a stock one home and see how it compares in other places.

I tried to flash the radio to the one that Mike recommends and I got an error.

Should I go through the trouble of turning eng-s off? It seems like a lit of risky work for something that may or may not effect my signal and data speeds.

Advice from the pros please?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
In my not so humble opinion, there's no real difference in the radio firmware. I've used 'em all and I don't really notice any difference that couldn't be explained as just normal random signal variation effects. There's probably little bugs in the actual code for say, spreading algorithms or rate calculations or something, that might crop up like 1 in a thousand times which none of us will ever notice, but when you've got millions of customers, it might add up. I just use the latest firmware assuming that it's going to be the most up-to-date and bug-free, but I really have no concrete evidence for this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
OP, listen to this man.^^^^

And I will just finish off answering your post by saying no, there's no reason to do eng s-Off.

It's overkill for your stated goal. If you really want to flash other radios anyway, just for ****s and giggles, visit the inspire only radio thread in the dev section to familiarize yourself with the "no eng s-Off needed" method of flashing radios.
[HTC Inspire 4G] somewhastock:
Thanks, I read through that thread but the developer of the os specifically stated to have eng off. I didnt know if that radio was unique in some way that really required it.

If its overkill for data speeds, then why do people do it? Im not being confrontational, thats a real question. What is to gain by a user? I see how a carrier could benefit, but what about us?

Do all rooted Inspires show 3G service? Ive never seen a stock one show that and Ive seen a ton of stock ones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Please reread my post. I said nothing regarding being overkill for data speeds. I was referring to the use of one of two methods used for flashing a different radio on your phone. The eng s-Off method is "overkill" because a safer method that does the same thing... Flashes a radio... Has since come into existence and doesn't require the potentially dangerous modification of eng s-Off to be performed on your phone.

I think you're referring to the ROM thread. If it started as a desire hd based ROM, or one of the first ones for the inspire, chances are it says you need eng s-Off for the radio because that was the way it started out... The non eng s-Off is a slightly more recent development, and for some reason, the eng s-Off method seems to be continued to be promoted on the desire hd sections.

Everyone who's anyone here in inspireland, namely Attn1, will recommend the non eng s-Off method for basic radio changes over the eng s-Off method.

Any radio that a ROM recommends can be flashed this way, as long as you use the flashable file from the thread linked below, assuming its a radio that is referenced in that below linked thread.

This is the thread I was referring to last post.
[HTC Inspire 4G] somewhastock:
I definitely misread it...I thought that you were saying that flashing the radio was overkill for my stated goal of getting better service/data speeds.

To clarify my understanding, that thread says to download p98img and "Place this file on the root of your SD card." Should there be a folder called "root"? I looked using astro and es, and dont see one called that. Should I create one and just copy the file in there?

Ill use a file from that thread and cross my fingers. thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
No. You just have to transfer the PD98IMG zip file to your sd card. Do not place it in any folders. The root of your sd card is the main area where all of the folders and files reside. Then boot into H Boot and your phone will find it. You can flash the matching Ril files for the radio through CWM recovery. Read the directions for doing this, (mount system first).
[HTC Inspire 4G] somewhastock:
I appreciate that, thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I'll add to what Wolf_2 said by also reminding you to verify the MD5 checksum for your downloaded file and make sure it matches those given for the file in the radio thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] somewhastock:
I did it. It worked.

I just dont see a damn difference. LOL

Just to o verify, Im verifying that the md5sum for the actual downloaded file matches the one that the person posted in the thread that I got it in right?

Thanks again for making this easy for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Yup. You can check your files MD5 using a variety of methods, one of which is astro file manager, mentioned in that thread.

As far as flashing new radios is concerned, the differences may not be apparent right away, if there are any at all, as gene was saying.

You have to run the radio at least a few days to even have a chance of getting a somewhat objective idea of its performance.

I've only flashed two in as many months. It's very difficult to see much difference between the more recent radios.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
+1, I tend to think the same thing. I've had the same experience.
