AlphaRev

AlphaRev tweeted that they have a surprise for us tonight so im pretty damn sure this is real for all the guy's that are thinking it is some kind of joke.

Yes it is true they did not mention anything specific as what devices and what it actually is

But I do know the e3d has been on the top of the list

And they know we are all waiting. I doubt they would stir something up to let us down.

But that's just my opinion

My birthday was the 24th funny thing is that I was hoping to get that as my present as well lol i needed some reason to be happy to be 31

I'll still consider this a present for me too.

Happy birthday to the rest of you guy's

Hopefully we all can celebrate with you tonight
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
Why the pessimism my friend! Hehe. I don't have a 3d...so I hope you're right! I would love to root my evo again. Been waiting for a month now!
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Yeah you took one for the team by upgrading right?
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
Kinda. I needed a repair so I unrooted but someone needed experimentation and was afraid of issues so I went ahead and s-on'd to test for him. Bad decision. Lol.

Turned out my spritn store doesn't check for s on/off for hardware issues. Lol.

Its okay. Gave me time to write tutorials and android-utility.

For your sake and mine...I hope root will be achieved for all htc devices tonight. :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] TMartin:
You should have asked me man....I bricked like 3 Evo's trying hboot downgrade/partition resizing. They told me they changed there policy about rooted devices like a year ago.
[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
Sounds great let the games begin
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
What was the policy change? I was told at Emeryville, Ca.(last month) store that when I returned my Og 4g for power button that if suspected of root they would blacklist my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
I just hope now when we get this they can fix this BS speaker not being loud
[HTC EVO 3D] FractalSphere:
My birthday is in JANUARY, and I'd still consider this an awesome present! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
I should have! I would still have root.

Part of me wished I had bricked the phone. At the time I unrooted the new ota had just released and people were getting refurbished and new ohones with 2.2. I was hoping for one of those. Turns out I got a repair and by now all the phones come with ota 4.22 or 4.24
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
I don't have this problem. I wear my phone on my belt and it is plenty loud when I listen to music. Maybe upgrade your ears.
[HTC EVO 3D] vedavin:
Awesomeness!!!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] gmfeny:
U must have ears like a fox BC the evo3d speaker sucks balls
[HTC EVO 3D] TMartin:
I was at a corp store in Columbus, OH. They stated it didn't matter if it was rooted or not. They would simply flash it back to stock. When they couldn't repair any of them, they handed me a replacement for free.
[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
Upgrade my ears really ok jerk off if u haven't been reading know issue volume sucks ass my old epics sound would **** on this phone for breakfast
[HTC EVO 3D] bgolden84:
if the speaker on the evo 3d sucks balls im buying one for both front pockets :D:D:D but yes the sound level is very low
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
That's odd, I wonder why my local repair store was being difficult. In this flashing would they possibly flash an updated rom. I told them I did not want any updates at all. They tried to convince me 2.3.3 was better(little did they know I was running it already). My reason for not updating was netflix will not work on 2.3.3, which was news to the tech.
[HTC EVO 3D] NCspecV81:
Well the fact that the EVO part of unrevoked is highlighted more makes me want to believe its aimed at the evo.
[HTC EVO 3D] ajones7279:
That's their logo. It's always been like that. Even on the other site that supported more than the Evo. Even so, the Evo 3D is still an Evo....
[HTC EVO 3D] smoochiezz24:
Its because of the unrevoked team worked miracles for the OG evo. Whether or not the release will support it or not is unknown.
[HTC EVO 3D] ajs421:
If it's revolutionary it's clearly an apple product.
[HTC EVO 3D] rtbluver:
WOW! Must be the new iPhoney4.5! Sounds spectacular...hahah...lmao
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
Mac OS X = pretty delicious :-)

Maybe not revolutionary ...but still pretty sweet.
[HTC EVO 3D] dr_acula_sxe:

[HTC EVO 3D] TMartin:
Ummmm.....FALSE! Ubuntu is delicious and FREE!

EDIT: Free & without pirating lol
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
Ubuntu is delicious! I love my karmic koala! But so is Snow Leopard. I don't mind paying $30 :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] TMartin:
I just can't understand people that own an Apple computer. Why spend triple the money?? Makes no sense to me lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] dc13:
my E3D is amazing a little louder then my evo about 4dB louder of the ear and 2dB for the speaker.

I really do feel that its a hit or miss on every phone.

I have had a great Samsung Moment with no GPS or Data issues then one that couldnt make calls. a Evo that just died and a few others that volume was way different on all. so its just a hit or miss.
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
Because if you own an Apple product it makes you "cool"
[HTC EVO 3D] johnsongrantr:
those macbook airs are pretty slick hardware though, if I had the money I'd buy one and put windows 7 on it
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
LMAO!!! Me too!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Woah just calm down there, it was a joke. We are all friends here right? Yes I have been reading the probs people have with the E3D. I guess I am just lucky because I don't have any of those issues. I know now not to kid with you.

@Jonhsongrant

What is even slicker is the ability to remotely access the smart chip in the battery and cause it not to charge and even catch fire. Mac rules!!! :disclaimer just having fun:

http://www.bgr.com/2011/07/26/apple...uct-flaw-to-be-detailed-by-hacker-next-month/
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I can't understand why people will have a factory built computer when one can be custom built for cheap. In other words, preferences my friend. People like Apple cause they just work, yet their software is the easiest to breach within seconds lol. Not many people understand how to use windows either lol.

Appreciate my help? Thank me :-)

samsung series9 > mac air
[HTC EVO 3D] youngpro83:
Maybe because it has 8 to 10 hours of battery? Or maybe because life expectancy is about 10 years and in that time you already bought over 4 windows based computers? Or how about 90% of the time not being able to catch a virus'? So basically if you had a computer that costs 500 dollars. You spend about 100 in antivirus a year. So in 5 years (if your computer lasts that long) you just spent another 500 dollars in antivirus. Why? I own an Apple computer not only because it makes me look cool, but because its a better investment. It lasts longer. The OS is not a memory hog like Windows 7. The battery lasts longer. I dont have to buy an antivirus because its extremely hard to catch a virus on a mac. The durability. The ability to run windows on it now I have 2 computers in one. And allso because it makes me look cool.:cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Uh Apple computers are the easiest to hack.

EDIT: Look at the pwn2own competitions.

Appreciate my help? Thank me :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] johnsongrantr:
pretty nice, but I like the form on those new mac airs and the specs are basically identical

http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/laptops/NP900X3A-A03US-specs

http://www.apple.com/macbookair/specs.html

EDIT: can't afford either, but the price seems to be actually better on the macs
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
Awesome link! I haven't seen that before.

I was reading through those responses and with the first post it became PC versus apple and android versus iPhone. Come on peeps! Pros and cons. Competition = good. But name calling is just so silly. Propel turn into fanboys so quick on forums and such. Makes be giggle a little.
[HTC EVO 3D] dc13:

[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
Maybe it is but maybe it isn't.

My Intel iMac and my dell xps m1530 Hackintosh have neither been hacked in the year and half I've had them...
[HTC EVO 3D] :
They are. Check out the Pwn2Own competitions. They are the like first to fall.

Anyhow, you have a Hackintosh? Nice.

As far as any computer goes it is all in how you maintain your device. I have a toshiba satellite from 1999 that still runs great today. I don't carry it with me anymore because I have a phone that keeps me connected. I also have an hp desktop that is also from 99. I don't do anything very processor heavy so I don't need the latest and greatest. All of the pc's in my house are at least 5 years old. I am always looking for people's "trash" pc's because that just give me some more hardware to mess around with. I haven't bought any comp in my house since 2002.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I said "like" always first. I'm aware that everything isn't 100% secure. Definitely don't need a lecture on that.

[HTC EVO 3D] TMartin:
Why would you want a computer for 10 years??? Especially when it's outdated when it comes out?? I have a Windows 7 box and a few machines running Ubuntu. I don't spend a dime on antivirus for my Windows machine, free works for me. All my systems last....period.

[HTC EVO 3D] ajones7279:
That's not true. I use a Macbook because 1. I like OS X. 2. They make great hardware. I had a Hackintosh before, and it's not the same experience.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Thanks for you words of wisdom. Prolific writer.
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
So are you saying you are not cool?

For me it's something about an os that when there is a problem instead of telling you there is a problem it boots up to a sad face. My co worker had a problem with his imac and the Apple techs said sad face equals bad hard drive. He asked me to try even though I repair PC and not mac and was able to reload the os and get it working. The techs were not very knowledgeable about their own hardware.
[HTC EVO 3D] ajones7279:
Nope, I'm saying I didn't need an Apple product to become cool. :cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
My imac makes me cool. Hehe.
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Having a imac just kicked you up a notch in my book. You are now at 0. Jk bff wtf lol

[HTC EVO 3D] SouthernEvo:
I hope its the S-off tool for the EVO 3D , Mainly due to the fact I would kill to be at HTC headquarters and see the looks on their faces when it hits ROFL . That would be an Epic Kodack moment ROFL !
[HTC EVO 3D] rtbluver:
Someone should call up HTC and ask them whenever s-off hits and be like hi, i just got an OTA update and it told me it was s-off, whats s-off i accepted and now i have (insert favorite aosp rom) lol Just to freak out on them!@
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:

it immediately went to activation and prl update upon reboot

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Everyone seems to be indicating this does the equivalent of a factory reset. I'm going to use MyBackup Pro to back everything up first. Is everyone going to "hands free activation" after this and did you lose all your app data? On the hands free activation: do you just wait and it activates or do you have to do anything?

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] miguelfp1:
mine didn't boot to recovery either, so you'll have to manually install it using Fastboot, following the instructions for the TeamWin recovery thread.

the recovery works beautifully, and I'm nandroiding my stock setup right now for safe keeping, and in preparation for all the ROM flashing that we're gonna have this weekend.
[HTC EVO 3D] butterbuns:
what are they looking for in terms of Serial number?

Mine's not working either and I have USB debugging enabled. hmmmm.
[HTC EVO 3D] djfasil:
It didn't reset anything, just went through hands-free activation and PRL update. Everything is still on the phone.

It didn't install clockwork correctly, but I got recovery working by flashing TeamWins recovery through fastboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] kellyrx8:
for the serial, if you run the exe it displays it for you

Right in the wiki:

Does Revolutionary give me root?

No. You will need to flash this zipfile from recovery.

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary

That being said, how do I get back into recovery?? Everything was a success in the process of S-OFF. The normal volume key + power does not work.

[HTC EVO 3D] irock1985:
So in which state do you start? i.e. Phone on w/ debugging - In Fastboot - Phone on debugging off? - Temp rooted?

Thanks in advance
[HTC EVO 3D] J3STUR:
nevermind finally worked, i think there was an I that was an L or something , but went good and quick, s-off like 30 seconds after i entered beta key, YaYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

and installed CWM for me too, i wanna try TeanWins Recovery tho :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] dagnasty:
Happened to me, turns out what looked like an l was actually an I
[HTC EVO 3D] TimidRat:
I've tryed switching i's and l's but still invalid, wtf, im gonna try on linux.
[HTC EVO 3D] J3STUR:
Took off fast boot in power option, and wasnt temp rooted, but yeah debugging mode worked for me
[HTC EVO 3D] kthejoker20:
Can't enter the stupid key.

Why caps????? and no cut and paste?
[HTC EVO 3D] J3STUR:
yeah i tried switch them too but that didnt work but then i copy and pasted it and it work... Try that
[HTC EVO 3D] ajs421:
btw if you get the network errors after getting S-OFF, call a number in your phonebook and you'll eventually get the error message and then they patch you through to sprint customer service automagically --- they send another signal to your phone, ask you to power off for 30 seconds, and bang!!

Works like a charm now -- time to root, recover, flash!!!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] J3STUR:
you can right click the top bar and go to edit, then paste, thats what i had to do to get it to finnally work
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
No problems here and I've never done or flashed anything on an android device before (although I do have experience doing this sort of thing on other devices). It did do a hands free activation by itself and everything is fine.

If you have your MSID number you can probably fix it manually, but if not, just either call Sprint or go into their store and I'm sure they'll do it for you.

Thanks, that did the trick!

After i enter my beta key it goes right to

Acquiring root (method 3)...
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Man this was the most easy time I've had rooting a device, and didn't even lose my settings. All I had to do was run the Sprint activator while wifi was deactivated and my airave was off and bam I was back on Sprint's network like I was before except with S-Off and custom recovery.

Ok when I made a call it gave me something about error code 16 I just stayed on the line and the lady reset something on the network end and I was up and running.

Edit2: turns out it's part of Sprint's enhanced security that flags your phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] superandroidhero:
Got it to go past the Acquiring Root (method 3)

Reboot Phone and uninstall HTC Sync if it's on your computer

I did it and it worked like a charm! Hope that helps!

Also, recovery didn't install for me (wouldn't connect to internet, stupid firewall). Anyway, I installed TeamWin's and it's working fine, doing a nandroid backup right now.

For those who need a recovery or want to flash the root file, get TeamWin's here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192077

Okay, everything worked for me but it didnt install clockwork, and adb isnt letting me install teamwin's recovery either, anyone have a copy of clockwork i can flash thru fastboot? or can i rename the teamwin recovery PG851000.img or (I dont think thats the correct number please correct me) and flash with fastboot? Tried installing teamwins i got "Missing AdbWinApi.dll" still wouldnt work even after i changed the path... help?
[HTC EVO 3D] irock1985:
Crap I already had htc sync uninstalled..... now I just uninstalled HTC everything and will try again
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
I'm assuming you have fastboot binary from HTC and you placed it in the adb folder, if so, do this (if on Windows):

fastboot flash recovery /path/to/imagefile.img

Make sure before you do this to have your phone in Fastboot USB on the bootloader.

EDIT: Sorry I didn't read the .dll error, that's because fastboot isn't on the same directory as the .dll, normally that's on "\Utilities-SDK\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools"
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
yea i have s off but clockwork failed to install..im not sure how to install team wins recovery since im not all into adb and all..im tryin but i wish there was an easier method to get the recovery..and i dont see superuser permissions either..how do i get that running
