[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smohk:
OTA to 1.8.3 It's a good place to start. Will also fix a few issues people had with 1.5.7. Easy to root and enable sideloading with Gingerbreak and gladenable (I think was the sideloading one...someone correct me if I'm wrong). The webtop hack, hotspot mod, and (older style)CWM from Tenfar work great. Can flash back and for between and 1.x.x build as much as you want. It's when you get to the GingerBread build that you can't flash back to older versions...(unless special exceptions are made and I'm not going into that here...search is your friend)

I'd OTA to 1.8.3 and then start playing...but that's just me.

Sorry no links to give...search for gingerbreak and (I think) gladenable.

Hi, this is the first time i try to help someone here so i hope this is what you want.

I Search a lot here and they send me to a page and also to a youtube video of how

Can you do it. I don't know if i can put the link here but very easy just do

A google search for "atrix4ghacks" and go to that page over there you find how to do it

It works very great for me, know i'm looking the best way to get the gingerbread 2.3.4

The first step it to OTA to 1.83 then unlock the bootloader

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261

- use the unlocker sbf

The second step it to install CWM Recovery Mod

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138541

Now that you have the bootloader unlocked you have support for installing custom roms later just make sure you DONT DO THE OTA UPDATE TO GB it will hard brick your device with boot error.

now that you have CWM you can backup all your data and system files the next step is to ROOT and enable sideloading you can do that using GladiAtrix

Then you can install Webtop mod from here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1015630 webtop

i dont know how to do the Wifi Hotspot hack but im pretty sure you have to edit the build.prop in sys and you have to be rooted in order to acces those files, so that's it that should leave you with a rooted unlocked phone and with all the other features you want if you want to move to GB later you can flash a GB sfb with the unlocked bootloader integrated in the sbf from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182526

Just remember if you are on 1.83 with unlocked bootloader dont OTA to GB it will hard brick your device.

Hope this helps and btw i take no credit for the links, that's somebody elses job.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winsall:
Thanks a ton. Thats exactly what I needed. One question....if I do the last step (sbf to gbread), will I still be able to have root, cwm, and the webtop/sideload hacks? Or is that premature?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winsall:
Slightly stuck.....

The /system/etc/install-recover.sh file is read only and so cannot be removed...I am assuming I need root to change the permissions. I was able to boot into recovery the first time but then the subsequent boots would give me the exclamation. I guess I have a backup and now I can go root.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsebazz:
You must root in order to be able to write over the original files, you can use Gladiatrix to root then you can use root explorer to overwrite the previous files in the system folder,

you mean you cant go into cwm?

sorry for the late reply im having a hard time keeping track of all my posts besause i changed my email adress and i can figure out how to change it from xda account if you need any more help pm me
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidsebazz:
Yes i actually have rooted GB on my phone and CWM flashed, you can enable sideload on GB without rooting or doing anything, thats the new policy about sideloading from at&t yada yada yada... webtom hack over hdmi is still in development we should have that in no time :cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] iondokk:
I just would like to put a positive interjection out there.

I have been a member here a long time on XDA, my experience with the EVO was awesome to say the least thanx to Calkuin Mikfroyo Virus Koush and many others. My experience here with the EVO3D has been ummm interesting. Waiting for root has been frustrating but as I said before I've been through a few of these rodeo's so we wait... it will not be much longer. I have custom themes, faster internet and changed my prl. Kinda reminds me of all of the crap we went through for our windows phones. I want SBC worse than ever for my phone...it'll come. Please be patient this phone has a complicated security. Teamwin will release root when its safe to use.

Htc is being held back by Sprint to not unlock your bootloader they don't want you to have free tethering, so they are in the middle of corporate politics.

Please thank your Dev's for what they have given to you. And have faith!

Please keep this thread positive.
[HTC EVO 3D] iondokk:
Thank Dev's here....
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
Don't wait for team win to release s-off because fre3Dom development has stopped. Team AlphaRev achieved s-off and they should be releasing it soon. By the way, you don't need root to tether for free either.

My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
I'm missing s-off bad, but to be honest, this phone is great still. I know there has been a lot of whining and complaining, but at the end of the day it's a powerful phone. Full root is only going to make it that much better.
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
Thanks to devs, but I highly really doubt that Bootloader has anything to do with sprint or any other company. How come samsung phones never come with locked bootloaders? HTC and Moto did it because they wanted to, not because anyone made them do it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Truth be told. If this phone never got s-off,i wouldn't lose much sleep over it. As a current flashaholic, that's how satisfied I am with it.

[HTC EVO 3D] nabbed:
I'm sorry, since you seem so nice and smart.

No offense, but that was an idiotic statement.
[HTC EVO 3D] ajones7279:
It made sense to me.

He's basically saying, as someone who's a flashaholic (likes to flash different roms), he's satisfied enough with the Evo 3D as it is on the stock rom. Don't know what was idiotic about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Are you sure you know what idiotic even means?

Sent from my 3rd Dimension of Evolution
[HTC EVO 3D] iondokk:
I can agree with that.

Although as a flashaholic myself I do want root.

^THIS! 10 char
[HTC EVO 3D] danaff37:
+1... I'm thoroughly amazed at my lack of desire to flash something new. I do look forward to it, but since the phone can handle it, I don't even think i'll go with cm7/8 for a long time. I do look forward to s-off for somethings though, like unlocked hotspot (although wifi tether is working great, it's nice to use the built-it), extra notification quick settings (like screen rotate!), space view weather lock screen, and maybe even some extra theming of things that skins can't touch (hopefully UOT...)
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
I set myself up to be in the long haul of waiting for s-off. Like many others, I came from the EVO 4G, I made my own roms and ports, but I knew that I was getting the 3d, so I stayed away from the sense 3.0 roms so when I got the 3d, the new sense wasn't 100% old news, allowing me some time of "freshness" before I got bored and wanted to flash.
[HTC EVO 3D] ajones7279:
I do. Do you?
[HTC EVO 3D] iondokk:
Thanks everyone for staying positive.

I am looking forward to landscape Rosie. I really do miss it.
[HTC EVO 3D] dirkyd3rk:
Why did fre3dom development stop?
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
Bc s-off was achieved by alpharevx already
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
There is zero proof of this... that it has been done "reliably" anyway. A video showing what could easily be two different phones doesn't do it for me. There has been no progress, no updates, no beta testers coming forward saying it actually works, nothing. I'll believe it when I see it in a downloadable file.

[HTC EVO 3D] chefdave12118:
Same here. I didn't touch a 2.1/3.0 rom for that very reason. I wanted to keep my 3d as a new experience. Also cm7 kicked ass on my og evo.
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
Well yeah, but I was just saying that's why Teamwin stopped working on it, because it was supposedly already done.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bukem75:
Do you have proof of this? Sprint has seemed to take a pretty hands off approach to developers
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I tried all of the Sense 3.0 roms and the hybrids. While I'm not a fan of sense (at all) I have to say that even with forums full of people screaming about how great they ran I could not agree less. It was cool to try out sense 3.0, but, they ran like crap...rosie did most of the damage though, as when I installed launcher pro I had never seen my E4G run that smooth and fast...though it was a battery killer like no other.

So, even giving Sense 3.0 multiple chances on the E4G there wasn't a chance of it making things seem old-hat on the E3D. There is simply no comparison. I knew it then and I know it now.

The phone runs great, mostly....but I'm getting board. I have no patience. I miss launcher pro, I miss AOSP. Hell, even this General Forum is getting stale and slow. The only thing keeping me from bringing this damn thing back one more time (for the SGS2), honestly, is this forum. We've all been through so god-damned-much at this point that even if I got another phone I would still hang out here...and with another phone that would just feel weird.

Either way, I sit here eagerly and politely--but not patiently--awaiting s-off. I am going to donate my ass off, even if that means getting a paypal account...I haven't forgotten you either netarchy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starzboy77:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ocnbrze:

Make sure you have a recovery for the nexus one.

Go into fastboot. Flash the recovery. Then enter the command fastboot reboot recovery. Do that with out booting into the os.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Read the Wiki, Recovery section, and follow the guide for unlocked bootloader.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img

If you reboot your phone, the stock recovery will be reinstalled...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Exactly. I guess you're not following the guide properly.

The guide says:

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

"fastboot reboot recovery"

Did you execute those as above? Or did you do it in some other way?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inspire me:
I did the commands just like that. One of u guys says its "fastboot boot recovery " and the other says reboot. Which is it? When I do the recovery.kimgom command it says its sending and writing it
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
"fastboot boot recovery.img" sends the image to boot from your HD, and doesn't check the image that is already in recovery partition.

"fastboot reboot recovery" uses the boot image from recovery partition - the one you just wrote.

What happens when you execute "fastboot reboot recovery"?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inspire me:
Nothing on the phone. On the command window the recovery shows
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inspire me:
Do I have to put the recovery image on the SD card to?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The recovery can't show on command window.

Again, what happens when you execute "fastboot reboot recovery"?

Print the screen, because it looks like you can't explain what's going on.

No, you just need to follow the guide correctly.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
Does OP need to run these before he reboots and right after flashing new recovery--

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If he doesn't even boot into OS - then no, he doesn't need it and can't do it from bootloader anyway.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
gotcha--thanks Jack
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inspire me:
When I execute the command nothing happens.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Are you sure you got the drivers installed?

Are you sure the bootloader is unlocked.

The commands have to work. Boot into fastboot and issue this command. Fastboot devices. Your devices serial number should show up in the command prompt.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
What makes you think the recovery flashed

Did you put recovery in your SDK tools folder and go to that path in terminal before fastbooting the .img

I also read somewhere a long time ago, some phones like mine don't accept reboot command thru fastboot

You could run your commands and then adb kill-server, disconnect phone and reboot using phone buttons
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inspire me:
When I turn in the phone it shows the unlocked padlock. I put the image in my tools folder and I pit the command fastboot devices and get my serial #

I want to change my custom rom, kernel, baseband, etc but I'm wondering if I should wait for the Gingerbread update. Will the stock Gingerbread be better than the custom roms we have now (IE Wolfbreaks)? Or will there be better custom roms after the official Gingerbread release?

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emortio:
I've got a Xoom wifi and I use the Fascinate as a tether for 3g when I'm on the go. I've got stock Froyo ED01, rooted.

I use the yellow icon Wireless Tether app (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) which has infrastructure mode, with the following settings:

1. Device Profile - Samsung Fascinate

2. Auto setup method

3. Wifi encryption enabled

4. Passphrase present

5. SSID "1"

6. Hide SSID checked

7. Channel "auto"

8. Wifi driver reload checked

9. Enable access control checked

Rest of the settings are the default

The problem I face is I turn on wifi tether, the Xoom connects (I get a notification that the Xoom (mac address id) connected and can use the internet with out any problems. Then some time around 1 hour - 3 hours, I get another notification that the Xoom is connecting again (phone vibrates). After this second connection, my phone works for like 10 seconds then just restarts. It shuts off and immediately I can see the samsung logo. After the phone restarts I can use wifi tether app again, but it happens again after a while of using it (1-3 hours).

On a related topic, I noticed that if I stop the wifi tether manually, I cannot use the wifi tether app again until I restart the phone. If I do try to run the program again without restarting I just get stuck on the "start tethering" notification forever. The yellow tether icon is there in the notification bar, but it isn't functioning at all. I have to restart the phone to get it to work.

It's kind of annoying, but more importantly, is this an issue a lot of people face and is it causing any damage to the phone?
